Fr. Mawdsley on the Offertory of the Mass

I like his presentation here, especially the second part where he walks through the ancient Offertory prayers line by line. I sent this to a friend who is somewhat hostile to the TLM out of some sense of perceived animosity on the part of trads towards those who attend the Novus Ordo. First, the friend really liked, appreciated, and most of all, understood the video. Second, as much as I think it’s a red herring most of the time that this charge is leveled against so many of us; I do think we ought to be careful with individuals we may know who attend Novus Ordo Mass. I am fully aware that I went to that Mass for 40 years until I discovered Tradition. God’s grace is certainly marvelous that He brought me to where I am and there are many faithful Catholics attending the Novus Ordo who would be open to Tradition if only they knew about it. Anyway, here is Father’s presentation.
