i was at the seminary of the fraternity of saint peter in southern germany for good friday. :-D

Are you still in Germany?

About 4.5hours of gregorian chanting, traditional liturgy etc!!

What an experience! You will remember this all your life.

yes i am still in germany.
It really was amazing seeing ca.60 seminarians and priests in cassocks and their white surplices making full use of the 3000 (that includes jewish prayers from the Old testament and many prayers from the early church in greek) year history of prayer and liturgy of the church. I am going again on a pilgrimage to chartres at pentecost with them :D

its hard to understand the ‘modernists’ and their constant attacks on tradi’s. Maybe they have simply never been to a beautiful old mass?

I hope you had a blessed easter!

the 4.5hours of chant was split between two hours in the morning ca.20mins for sext and then ca.2hours in the evening. From what I heard it was like this for all of holy week, i was only there for 2 days, Holy Thursday and Good Friday
