I receive so many searches for Opus Dei that I've decided to try to post occasional news of importance for readers of this blog. June 26th, the anniversary of Saint Josemaría's death in 1975, is now his feast day . Special Masses will be celebrated in many cities around the U.S. Here is a link to the various Masses which will be celebrated around the country . This is the official list from Opus Dei US. To my knowledge, all of these are Masses in the Ordinary Form, but I am not certain of that. Please check the dates and times! Saint Josemaría Pray for us!

Fr. Zuhlsdorf responds at length to the question above . His answer is quite informative. It is well worth reading.

Visitors often come seeking the Latin Mass readings online for the TLM. The only site that I know of that is helpful in that regard is the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Projec t . This site is the work of one solitary soul who is doggedly working his way through the Missale Romanum. The problem is, with the motu proprio , Summorum Pontificum , changes were made and not all of these are reflected in the links to this site. However, for most Sundays, it is totally accurate. A better long term solution considering the Hermeneutics of Continuity, is a good prayer missal such as the Baronius, for one. Other visitors seek the Daily Mass Readings of the N.O. This is linked by a "widget" in the lower right margin which gives not only the citations of the readings but their content. This is kept online here . I like the widget because it is linked to files which will "read the readings to you" and has a reflection. For those so inclined, the USCCB also offers a

This was posted previously, but I thought I'd do it once more . Click this link for a previous post summarizing the schedules here (Baltimore) and in D.C. I have posted the schedules for Saint Alphonsus and for Saint James the Greater in Charles Town, WV. DC Catholic has a link to the DC calendar of events. Also note the list of Parishes on the menu bar to the right . Many have their bulletins online on their website and so will have their particular Holy Week schedules. Also, check here . This is a search from MassTimes.org and lists ALL Latin Masses in the region (both the TLM and the Ordinary Form). This may help you narrow your search. Note that Silver Spring was chosen arbitrarily as the "center" for this search. Finally, here is a list of all Parishes in the Baltimore metro region . The times include Sunday Mass and Vigils. Many have web pages. If you know the zip code you are visiting, you should be able to find a "close fit."

There is an interesting post on the blog, McCarthyism UK , on the decline of Latin in the 60's and the effect it may have had on the Novus Ordo Missae. Here is just a small take: Where Jennings draws fire from Mr McIntyre, however, is in his (altogether too charitable, IMHO) interpretation of the history of the translation of the Novus Ordo Missae into English: he says the current Pope and others are said to believe that the 'initial translations from Latin were hastily done and consequently inadequate in so far as they fail to convey the sacred character of the Mass.' With thousands of liturgical texts to translate, ICEL appeared to show a predilection for chopping the rhetorical flow of the original Latin into shorter chunks of concise English. The 1973 ICEL Roman Missal was criticised for minimising the transcendence of God, and exalting the religious striving of man. To be honest, many of the modern Mass translations are so eye-wateringly wide of the mark that any av
