This Sunday, February 17, 2008, at 12 Noon, St. Pius X Catholic Church in San Antonio, TX will have its first TLM. This is not my parish, but you can bet that I'm going to be there!
It will be my first TLM, but not my first Latin Mass. I've been to beautiful Novus Ordo Masses celebrated in Latin at Our Lady of the Atonement, an Anglican rite church, also in San Antonio. In 1983 Fr. Phillips and his entire congregation converted to Catholicism, and Fr. Phillips was ordained. Atonement is a beautiful place to worship.
One night in Jerusalem, our group attended Mass with people from many countries. The priest explained that he would use our "common language," during the Mass. My son and I found ourselves sitting next to a group of French nuns. The Latin language, the familiar ritual of the Mass, and being in Jesus' Jerusalem gave us an even greater feeling of unity with Catholics from around the world.
I'm excited about going to the TLM this Sunday!
