Please remember prayers for Bishop Anthony Taylor as he is currently recovering from Covid – with thanks to God for his pastoral care to the faithful.
“I am most humbled by the fruits of your labor and dedicate the labors of my priesthood,” said Father Passo, as he thanked the congregants, other priests present and Bishop Anthony B. Taylor. “How fitting in dedicating the parish to Our Lady of Sorrows, as Our Lady will teach us how to suffer and how to love her son. We start a new family as a parish, a new spiritual family and a community trying to love God, to go to heaven and to be sanctified.”
“We were drawn to the reverent community, the tradition and the large families we met here,” said Nowak, mother of 10.
“What drew us to the Mass is that it is holy,” Mike Fakult said. “The Latin Mass sanctifies us as parishioners and a community, but it also sanctifies the whole area for the parish to be established.”
Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland Discovers the Traditional Latin Mass – Interview
Thursday, July 16th, 2020
Bishop Joseph Strickland discusses what inspired him to celebrate the extraordinary form of the Mass on June 11, 2020.
I later learned that if and when a bishop says the Latin Mass, it’s always a pontifical Mass, where the bishop always represents his people. It’s intense. If you knew “Joe Strickland,” a kid from the back country of Texas, you’d know that “this guy’s simple. He doesn’t like those complicated things.” Yet I see it and I desire it for him. It’s so clear that this liturgy is not about us — it’s fully about Him. I want to honor Him.
Thank God we only must whisper them in this rite, because I am not sure I would have been able to speak above that whisper, so struck I was at the profundity. It was the first time in my life that I had ever said those words in Latin, and I could hardly get them out. It’s indescribable, really.
