Shouldn't that be "ancient traditional"?
Well, Jeffrey, I've been called "ancient," and the TLM is older than me, so ... yeah!
Father,
A picture paints a thousand words. The best description for this picture would be a stairway to heaven, because on that altar at the consecration heaven comes the earth.
Thank you for your service as a priest.
That is a most excellent and pleasing picture, Father.
May God bless you abundantly!
Is only your home altar readied?
Wonderful picture!
I have some questions. Do all priests have home altars like this that they can offer Mass at? Can all priests offer the TLM if it is done in private?
