Traditional Catholic Liturgy with Fr. Rob: A Throwback

In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss what our proper attitude towards tradition and traditional liturgies should be. The Traditional Latin Mass and other traditional liturgies are strikingly beautiful. However, there is a danger to inordinately focus on the externals. Virtue is, again, finding the medium between two extremes. At any Mass we go to, we must unite our prayers and sacrifices with that of the Eucharist offered on the altar. Humans have a soul and a body. We need externals to unite our hearts to the true sacrifice of the Eucharist. Some liturgical practices aid in this way more than others. But we must adopt a spirit that understands their proper place. Fr. Rob and Fr. George offer tips on how to find this medium between two extremes. We can admire the beauty of tradition and traditional liturgies and maintain that the heart of worship is our sacrifices united to the Eucharist. With this in our hearts, our worship at a Traditional Latin Mass heightens. Thank you for listening to this podcast by Catholic Link, we pray that this podcast helps bring you closer to Christ in the Eucharist.
