May we all be as devoted.
WFB, Jr. loved the Latin Mass. I remember his very witty words that he wrote about the New Mass, and I'm pretty sure that this website captured it correctly:
The next liturgical ceremony conducted primarily for my benefit, since I have no plans to be beatified or remarried, will be my own funeral; and it is a source of great consolation to me that, at my funeral, I shall be quite dead, and will not need to listen to the accepted replacement for the noble old Latin liturgy. Meanwhile, I am practicing Yoga, so that, at church on Sundays, I can develop the power to tune out everything I hear, while attempting, athwart the general calisthenics, to commune with my Maker, and ask Him first to forgive me my own sins, and implore him, second, not to forgive the people who ruined the Mass.
I enjoy reading Buckley.
I think Mr. Buckley might like this:
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare,
nos tibi semper et ubique gratias agere:
Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus:
unus es Dominus; non in unius singularitate personae,
sed in unius Trinatate substantiae.
(It is truly meet and just, right and profitable for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father Almighty, Everlating God; Who together with Thine Only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord, not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one Substance.)
