Seven Things I'd Like To See Happen... Mac of Mulier Fortis has "tagged me" for a list of "Things I'd like to see... " She added this slight "nudge": Deo Volente, compiling lists of Traditional Latin Masses in Maryland, just in case he wants to have a go in between cutting and pasting Mass propers... though he probably won't. "What are the seven things that we, as Catholics, want or would like to see happen?" Okay, here is my list of Seven Things I'd like to see... : I am in agreement with Fr.

Mac posts a great story from Seraphic Spouse that gives a step-by-step analysis of experiencing the Usus Antiquior . It is something that others have asked for. Please check her site today and also check out Seraphic Spouse . Also, thank the Lord for her rapid recovery from surgery!

I'd bookmark this one especially for those near a college campus who have been asked the questions I mentioned above. One might respond, "read Mac's post!"
