I just watched 'Long, Hot Summer' with Orson Welles, Joan Woodward and Paul Newman. What a beautiful movie. The characters find interior beauty in each other that is not apparent initially. The father, Pa Varna, is particularly wise and kind under his redneck facade. Yes, we are all creatures of God meant for God. Oh, let us choose this end and love Our Lord. Let God light our insides.
It does seem that there will be a deep spiritual battle over the Tridentine Mass which St. Pius V preserved to be said for All Time, but this is how it should be. Spiritual gifts from God are worth living for and fighting for. If we can't argue about words, then what can we argue about GK Chesterton writes. The Mass is a set of words with definite meaning that is worth fighting for. These words become The Word and the Most Holy Sacrifice.
There are no secrets with God. Let all things come out into the open for all to examine. I just read a letter to 'Inside the Vatican' by a priest. His dislike, need I say hatred, for the Tridentine Mass in the April issue was clear and direct. God Bless Pope Benedict XVI. I am sure that he knows and has been warned by God about the ensuing battles, but we as Catholics are not here for leisure and ease. We are here to grow spiritually: to know, love and serve God. We bow at the Foot of the Cross and offer ourselves in service.
