Earlier today, Cardinal Cañizares Llovera, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, celebrated Pontifical High Mass in the usus antiquior at the basilica of St John Lateran, assisted by the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.It is quite significant that there have been two high-profile solemn Masses according to the usus antiquior at the Lateran Basilica within less than a week. It is particularly inspiring to see the Franciscans of the Immaculate, both assisting their own superior last Thursday, and assisting the Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship today.
Here is a slide show of photos from the Mass. (I have had a closer look at "Slide" and found that if you click the "view all images" button, you can then pick any of the pictures and view them in higher resolution.)

Beautiful!
Why are they using the papal altar? I thought the traditional practice was for a portable altar to be set up in front of the papal altar. Odd.
Dear Father Tim
Awesome! What music would you add to this slide show.
Will the Tablet be sending reporters to
interview the parishoners at St. John
Lateran? I'm sure the divisive behavior
of a Cardinal is very newsworthy...
Such snarkiness should be beneath me,
but sadly is not.
It is exciting to think how far the liturgy
has come along in just a few short years.
Not too long ago, such a Mass at
the Pope's cathedral church would have
been front-page news.
I wish our good Pope and Cardinal Canizares
many, many years!
Hello Fr,
I have been tinkering with my own idea for a blog but it is all a little new to me and I am struggling a little. I have been playing with the 'slide' I see you use and think I am getting the hang of it but wondered given the size of photos and the limit space (MB) on the blog do you do anything before you post your pictures on your blog to make them smaller. I seem to remember something about Jackie Parkes having a few problems becuase her photo were very large.
Any help you can offer would be greatfully recieved.
Catherine - the Slide app is not one that I have used myself yet. but it is helpful in that there is an "embed" code offered so that you can just plonk it straight into a blog post.
I would certainly advise cutting down the size of photos. Most people take photos on digital cameras in quite high resolution by default and this means that you rapidly use up lost of the free space you are given by blogger. Yet in fact the photo is shown in quite small resolution on the blog. So better to use some photo editing software (I use "Paint Shop pro" - photoshop is the expensive industry standard but I'm sure there are plenty of good progs that will do the job. You can also tinker with the contrast and saturation to make the photos look better on screen.)
The most important thing is to write well and to write things of interest to others. If you comment on other people's blogs using your blogger profile which has the link to your blog, that will get you noticed.
May God bless your blogging!
Thanks for the advise Fr.
Well written and interesting, well we will have to see. I have heard people refer to old religious buildings as mouldy old piles of rubble so i don't think my fascination will be to everyones taste.
As for well written, the very reason i don't comment as much as i would like on other blogs and until now not started my own is because i am dsylexic. i can talk forever but when it comes to putting pen to paper it can be extremely difficult. i can do it, that i have proven to myself by doing exceptionalyy well at university but it can take an awfully long time to achieve the result on paper i am searching for. i simply dont have the ability to cover the debts and topics the you and other catholic bloggers cover without looking really silly for my mistakes. which is why i was wanting to base my blog largely on what i see rather than what i write (that and I think other people would enjoy these buildings too if they took a little time).
I should think the spell checker can correct most of my dreadful spelling but the vocablory, punction and grammer won't be the best.
