Impressive meetings in our humble little parish
I didn't realize how profound our little parish in South San Francisco is.
My family got the courage to stay at the parish dinner for the first time after the Sunday TLM mass. We thought the dinner wasn't being hosted anymore since there was no longer a coordinator, but it was there!
And it was such a blessing of many fateful encounters.
I met with the music director. It turns out she is a professor at the St. Patrick's Seminary here in the Bay Area and a founder of the Catholic Institute of Sacred Music. She is involved in the nation's top Catholic music organizations, especially for Gregorian chant!
I just remember one mass a few years ago, she had appeared with a full schola of around 18 members. Our modest and modern-looking parish was crashed in by Heaven with the most beautiful Gregorian chanting. Since then, she's provided our parish of roughly 50 regular TLM attendees the gift of Gregorian chant with beautiful books, seminars and her generous wisdom and love for the art.
She invited me to come join their practices before the TLM if I'm ever free. I'd love to someday when the kids are older!
Mass was also celebrated yesterday by a priest who visits every so often. I was surprised because he is Chinese. My husband's family also being Chinese, it's not often we see Chinese Catholics. He is so well-versed in the TLM and is exceptionally talented with singing. His Gregorian chanting was very beautiful, some of the most beautiful chanting I've heard from a priest here.
I later learned he is the priest-secretary to our Most Reverend Archbishop Cordileone and also serves as a lecturer at the Seminary and is a Doctor of Canon Law. What an an incredible life!
There are so many incredible people here in the Bay Area that it's so easy to bat an eye and not realize that the person conducting the schola or celebrating mass - let alone the person you sit next to and say hi to every day - holds a doctoral in their field of expertise.
Our Archbishop and Archdiocese are so very blessed, despite San Francisco being in the liberal state that it's in. They need all the prayers to protect them as they continue their mission. 🙏

Low masses are boring AF, high masses are boring AF but you're having you ass blasted by an organ and your choking on an agregious level of incense that summons the local fire department (true story)
I will go to a Trinidentine High Mass for the incense only. My lungs crave the smoke.

just thought about how the first lines of the Mass are “I will go in unto the altar of God, to the God who giveth joy to my youth” and started crying

Some Catholics look at the world of falling resources, rising poverty, looming climate catastrophe, bellicose international relations, nuclear weapons, and all other forms of human indignity… and seriously think the primary solution is to have more Latin Masses?!

I'm late setting up for Advent.. and it's okay!
It's 1am on December 2nd and our Thanksgiving weekend got ahead of us.
I just got around to bringing up our stack of Advent things, but I really need to get rest since I'm back to work tomorrow after taking the week off.
Tumblr media
These are all the Advent countdown things. I didn't get a chance to hang the Jesse Tree countdown cards, so will have to ask my husband for help tomorrow.
Tumblr media
The Advent wreath isn't even close. I have to remove old wax and we don't even have the wreath!
Tumblr media
The earliest we can do is take our preschooler to go wreath shopping after work tomorrow. I think he'll enjoy taking part in the setup of what we do for Advent.
Lastly, I printed out my liturgical planner since it will take around 2-3 weeks to print and deliver the book copies, so I need to do planning on printables for now. Sadly, I don't have time to post a listing of these, so again they're late for the new liturgical year!
Tumblr media
We went to Latin Mass. The Gradual (Psalm 24: 3, 4) literally moved me to tears. The soprano soloist in our schola was so talented, her singing shook me to the core and before I knew it, I had tears streaming down my face. I decided that the Gradual would be my Lectio Divina study for today.
Tumblr media
The word "wait" stuck out to me. It's actually an interesting word choice because it could mean "to wait" like waiting for something to happen (passive) or "to wait on someone" like to attend to their commands (proactive), kind of like a handmaid to a queen. The latter drew me in more because there are lots of Scripture from mass that mention people waiting on an important figure. This ties into Mary's fiat acceptance ("I am the handmaid of the Lord") and the Church being Christ's queen. Handmaids are usually specially hand picked by the queen or the king and not a role given to most people. They're usually the queen's most trusted and most loyal people. By waiting on the queen, her handmaids also serve the king.
Anyway, back to Mass. Our baby was asleep peacefully in our arms all the way until Communion where my spiritual director was celebrating mass & he blessed the baby when we were up at the altar rail. It was a really peaceful and holy mass today.
At the end of it all, this is all okay. It will all happen soon enough. Happy Advent!
