Monthly Novus Ordo Mass here at Mount St. Mary’s
Beginning today, on the feast of St. Agatha, Mass here at the Seminary was celebrated in Latin with the exception of the readings and prayers of the faithful, in the Novus Ordo Form. It will be celebrated on the first Tuesday on every month. I have to admit that I do not have a strong feeling on it one way or the other. It is my hope, though, that it will cause the seminarians here to focus on the study of the Latin language. Learning a language is hard work and having Mass in Latin once a month is not going to help much in their knowledge of it. It will, however, show its usefulness to them and encourage them. Now, if we can only get them to learn KOINE GREEK.
