Why the Latin Mass is Bringing Young People Back to Mass
Posted on June 7, 2020 by Catholicism Pure & Simple
Thank you very much for this timely and inspiring article! I’m going to reblog this because I’m compelled by the Holy Spirit. I will say this when I have attended Latin Mass I’m so touched deep in my heart and soul that I tear and when the choir sings I feel closer to heaven, they sing so beautiful and I’m blessed to be able to participate in such a Mass.
The following part of the article that I wanted to quote is so direct to the truth and heart of the matter as I see this need, so my prayers go out to you and I ask God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to bring this to fruition for all our young and old who feel the Lord in their hearts calling them closer!
Brother in Christ,

Yet these are, in their great majority, the youth who have been brought up with the Novus Ordo Mass and its accompanying social doctrine, often more akin to the ideology of an NGO than the true teachings of the Holy Catholic Church. Metaphorically speaking, they have been fed mere crumbs instead of the most sumptious banquet, so is it really so surprising?
