Tridentine Mass

OH WOW!!
Today's Traditional Latin Mass (Tridentine Mass) was AWESOME!!
The liturgy was done in Gregorian Chant, and WOW, it was just WOW!
(Only the homily was done in English.)

Instead of the priest facing the congregation and transubstantiating the Eucharist, his backed faced us. Which meant that we didn't really get to hear the entire BLESSING.

Most of the time, the congregation shut up, only the "SCHOLA" sings the 'chants'.
And when it comes to the "Thanks be to God part" after every reading, only the servers respond.
OH YES, and one of the servers have to actually stand behind the priest throughout the entire Gospel and homily.
The mass was just different. VERY NICE. VERY VERY NICE.

Tomorrow will be the last day for this month's Tridentine Mass. 7pm at St. Joseph's church (Victoria Street: Walking distance from Bugis MRT). PLEASE DO TRY TO ATTEND. It's seriously something you don't want to miss!!!

I love St. Joseph's church. The olden, traditional, church-y look. Statues everywhere, high ceiling, a totally cool main altar, a communion rail, pews which look very traditional.


AHHH. I will definitely not miss it tomorrow man. Okay. I sound like a big fan of it. I AMM! :D





You know what? I really wish I were a guy. I could do so many things I wanted to.
1. Go to SJI.
2. Join the brotherhood.
3. Be a metrosexual.
4. Keep short hair and actually shave it.


Then again, being a girl gives me a reason to have many clothes. That's the only thing I guess.
Girls in schools aren't allowed to have short spikey hair, and they can't wear pants which makes sitting down so difficult. AHHH.
I'm not bung/butch btw. Just in case anyone is reading my blog for the first time.


I've been thinking much about what happens after I'm gone. And how I can make a difference to the people around me...
And this sentence from 'Tuesdays with Morrie' struck me.
"Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."
Love. Haha, yes. Oh yes. I'm not talking about love love, but more of community love. Like being able to love each other as brothers and sisters of Christ.
