Okay, can someone help with this?
If one sees a Holy Mass Live, that means we get the blessing at the end. Is that correct?
On tape, no blessing?
And who is singing?
Could you please add this thread to the sidebar as was done on Days 1 and 2? Thank you
Th Holy Father extends his apostolic blessing in the name of the Lord to everyone every day. If you are present, he expressly extends it to all of your family freinds and loved ones. If your priest or bishop is present, he expressly extends it to the members of each one’s flock.
If you had unconsecrated hosts in front of the TV during a TV mass, they would not be confected into the Eucharist as a result of that TV Mass.
Please don’t feed the trolls by making it sound as if the blessing is magic! ;o)
God Bless and congrats to the fellow FReeper who is going to sing at the Mass in Washington DC today!
Wow. I never said, nor meant that it was magic.
It was about the videotaped version of a Papal Blessing. I thought at one time I read that ANY Holy Mass must be seen live.
I understand about the Anti-Catholic trolls but it was a simple question. If they have a problem with it, it’s their problem isn’t it?
One of the Catholic freepers. I leave it up to them to decide if they wish to reveal their identity.
As for the blessing, yes, it is valid.
Holy God We Praise Thy Name.
One of my very favorite hymns!
OH! I wish that FReeper would tell!
And thanks for the answer (we have EWTN on right now - we had planned on being there but couldn’t get tickets)
Jimmy Akin said this....
If a person watches a Mass live from television, can he reap the benefits of the various blessings the celebrant gives the congregation (e.g. the “Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus . . .”).
What if the Mass isn’t live?
This will depend on whether the person administering the blessings intends to include the television audience or not and whether he intends to include non-live viewers or not.
(I would like to think that B16 KNOWS all of us are watching!)
watching live link on ETWN.
Why is it that every pope reads his speeches/sermon? Regardless of language they laborously read from a script.
I’m loving the hymns I’ve heard in the background. No Marty Haugen.
He’s 81 and English is his fourth language. I know I couldn’t memorize a long sermon under those circumstances.
And the singing is lovely.
Are they talking over the choirs on EWTN? I couldn’t get the “US windows media link” to work. grrrr. I keep missing the live feeds.
How are you able to hear the music?
On EWTN, they are yakking non-stop; I’m tired of these guys. They’re even yakking over the procession now, very disappointing.
I just heard on EWTN:
The Pope will not allow extraordinary ministers today.
Pelosi, et al will have to hunt down a foreign-looking priest for Communion-one who does not see them publicly mock God on a regular basis.
I love that hymm and the one after that, I do not have the name of that one it was so peaceful. Just seen a live feed online.
Not now. Raymond and Fr. Neuhaus are pretty good about being quiet during the liturgy. Thank God EWTN is not using the Vatican Radio commentary.
Not suprising that the Pope will not allow EME’s at this Mass and maybe at the others. Could it be a preview of things to come about the issue of the EME’s?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one after “Holy God We Praise Thy Name” was so beautiful and peaceful.
Thank you, Pope Bendict! At the Easter Vigil Mass, he distributed Communion by intinction.
I'm sure he cast that big smile towards you :-)
All of us!
(as long as he includes my girls, I’m a happy camper!)
Assume this will be what will go on at the other Masses as well the rest of the time the Pope is here.
Consider all that goes into preparing for each Mass. The homily usually links the message of the Gospel to the world in which we live and, in this instance, more specifically to the country in which the Mass is being celebrated. The Holy Father's homilies are usually intensely theological, of how Jesus Christ works in and through us. English is not this Pontiff's native tongue. Far better that he read his homily (prepared by him) than to deliver any old message off the cuff.
Too much cultural diversity stuff in this speech.
The cheesy music starts. Sigh ...
I agree.
YAY!
Greek! We got some Kyrie. (he has a beautiful voice)
And the Gloria!!!!
I am in so much heaven here!
I don't recall ever seeing Extraordinary Ministers at a Papal Mass.
Some Latin now. :)
Yeah well, I guess it’s to be expected.
My live feed is out of synch. Anyone else?
Gorgeous Mass and absolutely perfect weather!
And slipping in some English for the “Happy Catholics”
True, but they combine it with vernacular. Why couldn’t they just do the Gloria in Latin?
HA!!!!
My eight and ten year olds are singing the Latin! Life is good!
Yes, mine is too. I’ve got the EWTN feed right now, maybe the USCCB feed is better. I linked to it upthread.
Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t understand it.
Did you see the Holy Father’s comment yesterday, in response to Cardinal George, that the children, in addition to learning and singing in German also learned to sing in Latin?
LOL! ;-)
That's OK. May there be many hearts touched today, who love what they hear and want to learn more.
There are enough Archbishops/Bishops/Priest there anyway.
