A while back, Fr Julian Large sent publicity of the next meeting of "Call to Youth" (for 18-35 year olds) which is this Thursday 28 February at 8pm, in St Wilfrid's Hall, Refreshments to follow.
The speaker will be Michael Schutzer-Weissmann, who will be talking about Evelyn Waugh, convert & Catholic writer.
Sorry to be so late publicising it here.
(To find St Wilfrid's Hall, go into the courtyard to the left of the Oratory Church. Enter the doorway on the left. St Wilfrid's Hall is upstairs.)
During Lent (only), in addition to the public 8am Mass (Mon-Sat) in the Traditional Form, there is also a Mass at 5.15pm in the Traditional Form. Also on Fridays in Lent at 6.30pm the Oratory has Stations of the Cross (also done in the traditional way).

This is a marvelous modern apostolate to the young. Here is all the hope and enthusiasm of the Church of the future.
If only My Lord of Brentwood could understand this, instead of the outdated and undignified nonsense we have seen over the past few days. Why, oh why, can the old never understand the young? :

Orate pro illo, illisque.
Father, what is the traditional way for the Stations? In Germany, at least, I am not aware of any substantial changes (apart from the wording, which has never been fixed).
In England, people will experience such things as lay people leading the Stations (not prohibited, of course, but a pity if a priest is on hand who could do it), and modern versions of the Stations that focus on our brokenness, and our need for intimacy etc. There are some appalling versions about. This is also a devotion in which some freedom is allowed, of course. In my parish, we have one occasion when children are encouraged to bring a cross they have made. We still have the traditional structure, though. In other places, there can be all sorts of variations...
