Father, your response shows a formation not usually found in Novus Ordo priests. This observation along with a picture in your response of the traditional Mass being offered prompts a question: are you a traditional priest? May God bless you.

Father John, in this post I feel you have been speaking to me personally. You have re-assured me in a manner I can’t explain. This is the most valuable Spiritual Direction I have been given. God bless you.

I heartily echo the same comments by Jeremy and Bill above, but the” love in a fallen world is always more evident in sacrifice…” quote is the one that speaks most to me! Well stated!- all of it, Father! Thanks!

So good. Favorite lines: “love in a fallen world is always more evident in sacrifice than in enjoyment.”; “We know that the holy sacrifice of the Mass is the pinnacle of worship, the perfect prayer.”; “The best preparation for Mass is a day-to-day life spent consciously in pursuit of Christ’s Kingdom.” Thank you.
