I have received a number of requests for a location that has the Way of the Cross in Latin . I can recommend this link by Fr. Zuhlsdorf who has the Stations via Prayercazt in two versions here . Another wonderful gift is from the blog, " Rome of the West," which has videos (parts I through IV) of the Stations . These are largely in English but the remainder is in Latin which is how I remember them being done. Both versions feature the Stabat Mater (see below; the Fisheaters entry). The Fisheaters site has this entry . Finally, for those desiring ONLY Latin , I would recommend the marvelous Thesaurus Precum Latinarum site. Here, two Latin versions are given: that of St. Alphonsus and a second found here . Other Lenten practices can be found here .

Fr. Zuhlsdorf has decided to "pound" Fr. Tim Finigan of The Hermeneutic of Continuity . In light of events, I wholeheartedly agree. Let's "pound him" like nobody's business ! Now is the time to take a stand....

I am delighted that Fr. Zuhlsdorf found time to "revisit" his prior post on the Mount . From this post, it sounds as if the seminarians in Emmitsburg are being introduced to the Usus Antiquior , and in a positive manner. Please check out this post! The photos are fantastic, and the Church is as beautiful as I remember it. I hope the good Father visitors had the time to visit the Shrine of Lourdes on the Hill.

This is a response to an article by Damian Thompson that has made its way around the blogosphere . It is an excellent report and a MUST read especially for those who desperately want a TLM and don't know where to turn next. Fr. Zuhlsdorf has posted good advice for many of us.
