Feast of the Visitation & Immaculate Heart of Mary

Fr. Mark: Tantum Portasti Gaudii






Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.
And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

More on MN- SJA - "Heart of the Beast Theater" - HoBT

Some readers have asked whether this is truly a MASS...you'll find here a Chronology of events leading up to the participation of HoBT puppets in the 'liturgy'.

"In fact, the program actually didn’t end with Palm Sunday. Jesus (the HoBT puppet) returned on Easter Sunday and lead the animals (also HoBT puppets) in procession around the church as we all sang "Lord of the Dance"."

[snip]

"Rehearsal day has arrived. All the HoBT puppets are here for us to see and enjoy. It is a time for everyone to become familiar with them so that no small ones are afraid. We ran through our entire liturgy so that everyone is comfortable. The children are divided into three groups with a leader and they will follow one of the Disciples. It is a fun afternoon. We are ready and excited for Palm Sunday."

"Palm Sunday is finally here. We are so prepared to participate in the liturgy."

[snip]

"Easter Sunday Mass: The rest of the Mass centered on Farmer Rick Klehr and his baby animals. We celebrated a New Life. It was a befitting end of our Lenten journey. What a glorious season."

Orate Fratres still has the post...but because this is so horrific and scandalous to the mind and soul many can not fathom the severity of this situation.

LORD HELP US!
