Dympna Gets It

I have written previously about the differences between the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgies and those that follow (as found ensconced in the 1962 Roman Missal). I have linked to the site Restore the ’54 and shared videos from Sensus Fidelium and the Marian Friars Minor.

But it really does me good to see others coming to the same understanding.

There is a wonderful blog called Dymphna’s Road that I read often. In the post below, she tells us of her experience in the same realm. Enjoy, and subscibe to her blog if you feel so inclined.

“I’ve been trying to understand the differences in the pre 1955 Holy Week liturgies and the 1962 version. I’ve listened to lectures and read a few explanations but seeing it was the key for me.”

Good stuff. Spread the word. Unfortunately for me, my parish has opted this year for the 1962 Missal over the next few days. I’m not going to be too harsh on the priests. I understand they’re in a tough place. However, I will not be genuflecting at a specific point in the Good Friday liturgy if you know what I mean.
