It is clear that the breaking of\u00a0its chains has allowed the Mass to change lives.<\/p>\n

Instead of getting caught up in the usual concerns of some people, I think it is helpful if we appreciate the theological synthesis of the TLM not only in terms of the liturgical and ascetical discipline in the West, but also of pastoral practice: the salvation of one’s soul and that of the entire cosmos; one’s conversion to Someone Infinite and who can answer the thirst of the heart. Permit yourself to engage in a reflection that sees\u00a0how the TLM conveys the worship of the Blessed Trinity, gives a theological and a moral\u00a0tradition –not moralism and how it is allowed the laity with the help of the clergy to build culture.<\/p>\n

I will say this, however, that the clergy who are adamant in seeing the diminishment of the TLM are ignorant of the graces poured out by God upon the Church. Why frustrate Beauty, Truth and Goodness? Let us pray for a deepening of the knowledge and grace that is given to us today at 10 years, and for the years to come.<\/p>\n
