Catholic Mass: youth choir, homily becoming fire!

[madmysticwarrior]

I like this mass. It speaks to me. The person who found it sickening must have a very delicate stomach. :)

[supergene256]

This is what you get at my parish too.

I'm praying for renewal, serious renewal...

[GIOSALVA1]

I need prayers for an heathly marige an no Divorce. Thank you an God Bless in his name.

[pizzelle4u]

This is Sickening! Thank God that Pope Benedict XVI is restoring the Traditional Latin Mass! The people have had enough of these circuses!! Attend a Latin Mass nearest you!

[bigbadwolff1]

When Jesus was on the Cross He said "IT IS FINISHED' I understand that to mean His substitutionary work was done. He doesnt have to be offered up time and again. nothing we do on our own can please God. Only when we are in Christ and depend on His finished work,Repent of our sins , live with Him being Lord of our life by the power af the Helper. Trust in Christ by the instruction of His Word . Not in ritual, praying to the dead, repettative prayers, or depending on works

[pepper72375]

you are wrong brother, He said, "Do this in remembrance of Me" He did not say, "Write this in remembrance of Me". The Sacrifice of the Mass in the Holy Catholic Church is the highest of all worship/prayer. Ask the Lord to help you understand this.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Somebody call in the FSSP.

[ChristainPatriot01]

When theres something stange in the lituragy

Who ya gonna call?

POPE PIUS!

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Pope Paul VI to!

[MrAtunrase]

I BELIEVES THIS IS GOD CHURCH.

[thatstrbl]

Dear God, give me the old version of Rites back

[dacatholicbandorgan]

Amen!

[conceil8]

.

Remember Christians, the will of God is no Catholic, Protestant,Orthodox, Penticostal, Adventist, JW, Etc. NO DIVISION, Only Christians, holy, helping and sharing instead of buying and selling.

"That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 17:9-21)

[formerutuber]

preach on sin.

no preaching on sin=no Holy Spirit

[dalevelez2828]

Nice singers. Are Catholics same as Christians ?

[WhytonProductions]

Yes of course, we were the first christians

[joeman3429]

yeah, they were the um, original christians.

[wjweigand]

Catholics are the only Christians since Christ established one (1) Church.

[Chocokriz]

Geez, you people have nothing better to do other than to argue about little things.

[PaulinianKibitzer]

Beautiful Mass and video, so nice!

God bless you Father.

[TML7777777]

On May 1, 2006, a Traditionalist SSPX Bishop Bernard de Mallerais said the Pope has " professed heresies in the past"

[TML7777777]

A good " Traditional Catholic" is saying that a Novos Ordo Mass, a Mass okayed by the Church is wrong. He is not following the teachings of the Church and stating that a Novus Ordo Catholic isn't following the teaching of the Church. In short, he is accusing a Novus Ordo Catholic of doing exactly what he is doing.

[TML7777777]

Pope Benedict supports Vatican 2 and the Charismatic Renewal. Since when did a" Traditional Catholic" support the Charismatic Renewal and Vatican 2. He has stated on numberous occasions that the Church isn't " turning back the clock".

[irishcatholicgirlie]

thank you Father Jeffrey, bless you for putting this on here

[LATCHF]

Romans 2 Therefore you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgement. For by the standard by which you judge another, you condemn yourself since you, the judge, do the very same things. Maybe you trads should think of that before you make one of your humble judgements.

[jksoren]

I don't think you grasp fully the specific meaning of the words "do not judge" in the New Testament..it certainly does not mean "do not take an objective stance toward your brother/sister in Christ" or "do not admonish your brother/sister out charity when they are in the wrong"...in fact it is a spiritual work of mercy for us to be constant reminders! If "judging by a standard" was wrong, then St Paul and all the Apostle, and dare I say, the Lord Jesus Christ are all in the wrong.

[LATCHF]

Nothing says humble judge like a Traditional Catholic.

By the way, Father Jeffery has more class than all of the " traditional priests " put together.

[Dauphin35]

That's pretty unfair. I think Fr. Z. wipes the floor with anyone.

[LATCHF]

Nothing says sspx like someone who trashes everything that doesn't conform to sspx thinking.

[novusdisorder]

15. Although the music proper to the Church is purely vocal music, music with the accompaniment of the organ is also permitted.

19. The employment of the piano is forbidden in church, as is also that of noisy or frivolous instruments such as drums, cymbals, bells and the like.

Pope St. Pius X- Motu Propio, Tra Le Sollecitudini

[NihilNominis]

As much as I dislike the piano in Church, Pope St. Pius X's Motu Proprio is no longer in effect and, as is the case in the parish where I play (I am an organist, technically), there is no organ.

[LATCHF]

I don't know if you noticed, Benedict is the Pope, Pius X died a long time ago.

[novusdisorder]

this is not a catholic mass

[KAMIKAZR]

To all Catholics: This is so much different than a Protestant service that I am used to.......I was born and raised Protestant. I know every teaching of Protestantism.

But, watching this, the more I have been cheated out of what Catholics have, and I am somewhat sad.

Me and my fellow Protestants have been cheated out of what catholics have, and it makes me sad. I am going to a Catholic Mass, and if I like it, I might become a Catholic.

[HonoriousIV]

What you see here my friend I'm sorry to say is not catholic mass, if you wish to see what caholic mass is then I would advise that you go to the mass of the sacred heart right her on you tube. What you see here is a novus ordo disaster, I know you are a protestant, adn I was too till I was introduced to the traditional catholic mass, the true sacrafice of Jesus christ here on earth.

[KAMIKAZR]

So many differences.........so many questions that I ask. I apologize of asking, and it is different from what I am used to.

Another question: why pray to mary, Jesus" mother? Being taught as a Protestant, I was taught that praying to her is wrong, and that she is a creature.

Is praying to Mary, Mary worship, as I was taught? Protestants say that the Catholics worship Mary, and why do Catholics pray to her?

[HonoriousIV]

Prayers directed to the blessed virgin are not what many no-catholics think, catholics DO NOT worship mary but simply ask for her intercession, paul said that there was one mediator in christ but also that the prayers of the righteous availeth much. Just because the queen of the angels suffered a physical sleep here on earth does not mean she cannot hear us for she is alive in christ her son and Lord, for christ cannot be the God of the dead but only the living.

[amykaniewski]

We don't worship Mary in any way, nor do we worship the saints or statues. Jesus is God and we only worship Him. First and foremost we pray to the Lord. When we pray to Mary or saints, all we are asking them is to pray to God for the things we are praying for. It's the same as asking a friend to pray for you. If you have any questions feel free to email me. God Bless

[beanstuck]

yes you do worship Mary you create graven images of her Exodus 20:4-5 you do vain repetitions of prayers in the rosary Matthew 6:7 you address your priests as "father" Matthew 23:9 my friend if your church is contradicting gods word it dose not mean god is wrong it means your church is. So whats the big deal if you go and find a church that preaches the bible? if you have any problems with it because its not catholic then you need to ask yourself what is more important tradition or god.

[amykaniewski]

We do not worship Mary, I was raised Catholic, I think I might now a bit about what I believe. We believe in Jesus, he is out only God, and we don't worship statues. I'm not arguing with you, Just telling you what Catholics do. Why then in the gospel does Jesus give Peter the keys to heaven and talks about building His church? Matthew16:18-19 Did you know Peter was our first pope? and since when is it wrong to call someone father? I call my dad that everyday. I love Jesus w/ my whole heart.

[beanstuck]

ok, firstly calling a preist father and called your dad father are two different things you are refering to your dad as your biological dad. And your refering to the preist as something that is not your biological dad but something "holy".where does it say dont do that matthew 6:7.

Matthew 16:18-19 has been turned into soemthing it is not go to google and search carm .Matthew 7:13-14 if the huge catholic church is so good? then why so many dammed? . i pray that god brings you home.

[Xallodea]

Erm, according to what i've been taught,

We dont worship Mother Mary, We respect her (;

[AllyMind5Star]

@Xallodea Yeah, we don't worship the Virgin Mary... We ask for her intersession of prayer.

[Audinos]

Does that imply that you worship George Washington because there is a statue of him in your town square? Do you regard your mother as a goddess because there is a photo of her in your wallet? You'll hear more of the Bible (the unabridged version!) preached in a Catholic Church than anywhere else.

[gondolacrescent5]

The portion of scripture that proclaims Mary shall be revered throughout history (I'm paraphrasing)...is that prophecy?

A sincere question.

I won't reveal what side of the fence I'm on--not yet at least.

[KAMIKAZR]

My minister does not wear the robe that the priest wear, and what does this signify? Jesus Christ, when he preached, did not wear anything this fancy.

This is so much different than what I am used to, and I should go to one Mass to see what it is like. It sounds good - yet confusing, because I am a Protestant, with different beliefs, but I do love God.

Thanks for posting this, and please pray for me.

[HonoriousIV]

What many protestants do not understand is that Christ founded one church, the only church with the inheritance of grace and forgiveness that he gave to the gentiles as well as the jews. Many protestants do not understand that Christ in the new testament said through paul the apostle that he wished for a reformed and royal preisthood, this is why the preist wears the robes he wears, to signify his royal dignity through our lord Jesus Christ.

[HonoriousIV]

The doctrine also of purgatory, just in case you were curious was not for the catholic church to make money but for the purification of souls, so that they may be purified and may be placed in their glorified bodies. Pauls say that all men will suffer fire after death to test their works and to remove the dross of sin, and he also said that the righteous shall suffer less. We can also pray for the souls in purgatory and have masses said for them-hint the catholic doctrine of indulgences.

[KAMIKAZR]

This is cheery - the music, the people, the priest. This is really cheery, and thanks for posting this, sir.

But, what power do priests have, and what is the sign of the Cross stand for, why is Communion done the way it is.......so many questions, and I apologize.

This is much different than a Protestant service - and it is confusing. Please pray for me.

[HonoriousIV]

The cross is to be venerated forever, as the apostle said in the new testament, The reason why communion is done the way it is in a true catholic mass, is that the catholic belief is that christ is truly present in the bread and wine, for in corinthians it says that if the lords body is not discerned while partaking his supper, he is guilty of the body and the blood of christ.

[HonoriousIV]

I really must recommend you to a tradtional preist, because I was once attracted to catholocism but was latterly dissapointed when I found out about the scandals perpetrated by the Vatican II popes and the untruths they unwittingly taught. However tradtional preists teach true catholic doctrine and not just an upgrade protestant rite.

[PaulMacGregorWhitby]

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus was speaking to religious people here. Today Catholics arrogantly trust in their works to merit salvation rather than trusting on the finished work and grace of Jesus alone.

[amykaniewski]

Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

So doesn't that mean God wants you to do His will? It says so in the very verse before the verse you posted.

[maryjwp]

We trust in Jesus, that he shed his blood on the cross for our sins as the only way we can be saved. We believe we must then live as he instructed in the scriptures and be obedient to God. Jesus said if you do not obey me you are not mine. So we believe we must work at being obedient to God for the rest of our lives, if we sin we must confess it and continue to do our best to then end of our life. Read the scriptures carefully and you will see you can lose your salvation if you don't.

[Audinos]

The gates of hell will NEVER prevail against the Church, no matter which pope or council you dislike. Don't be so hasty to jump from the barque of Peter because another boat has a fancier figurehead.

[KAMIKAZR]

I think that I might go to one of these, just to see what it is like. It sounds good, and this is different from what I am used to.

I might become a Catholic, and please pray for me. This is much different than a Protestant Service that I was raised in........I was raised Protestant, and please pray for me. I do love God, I do, I do love him. God bless.

[HonoriousIV]

To understand what the catholic faith is without all these modern interuptions as seen in this video I advise that you go to a latin mass, the preist still preaches in the vernacular but however conducts mass in latin as it is the unifying language of the church. Look also up the errors of the vatican II council. It was a means to protestantize the mass, so if you want to see the catholic mass in full force look up heron you tube 'traditional mass of the sacred heart"

[TML7777777]

Nothing says the love of Jesus like a traditional catholic bully.

[KAMIKAZR]

Please do not be too hard on me for being a Protestsnt - this really is good.......and Catholics seem to be pleasant people, although we do not agree on all teachings - but we do agree that God is God.

[KAMIKAZR]

I am a Protestant Evangelical Christian, and I just came to this this minute. I am used to watching WVCY TV 30 in Milwaukee, and am used to Protestant services - but this is different.

Raised as a Protestant, I was taught that priests have no power, and they are just men like anyone else, and that their Masses are of no use.

What power do priests have anyway?

[Audinos]

Priests do not have "powers" as in some kind of magic or witchcraft. A priest is a vessel or instrument through which the Holy Spirit works to bring about grace. A priest cannot, by himself, change bread and wine into the living Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ (see John 6), but the Holy Spirit working through him can. Nothing is impossible for God. Priests, deacons, bishops, and popes are sinners like everyone else, but have been called by God to be ministers of Christ to the people.

[cincy3waychili]

The opening song to this video Mass,"We Are Called" by David Haas, was sung this morning when a group of us made our first time and renewal committments as Benedictine Oblates. What a joyful and beautiful song. Yes, we ARE called to love tenderly and act with kindness. Amen?

[livre333]

"Catholic Mass" ??!!?

[ukidding]

deep Perplexing christian questions:

How was jesus conceived?

Is he half god and half man?

How did god's sperm get into the blessed virgin mary's vagina and uterus in order for conception to occur?

Did the arch angel gabriel bring the sperm

in a vial?

And how did it get into the vial?

Did god masturbate for that to happen?

What is the mechanics of his birth?

and how can a virgin have a child?

[oklahomaweather1]

I pray to God directly. He died for my sins, and I'm His son just as much as a priest is a son of God, therefore I have the same right. No where in the Bible does it tell us to confess our sins to a priest so he can bring them before God. I don't know. Catholicism is differant. I stopped watching at like 10 minutes because I got bored. :) No offense. May the Jesus, the Everlasting Father, the First and the Last Bless you and lead you into all truth. :)

[jmennona]

It's easy to get bored if you don't know about it. The priest is ordained by God - to represent Jesus here on earth. We are limited in our human abilities - God uses ordinary people and things to bring us to Him and Him to us. Our Mass is Heaven on earth. Present at the Mass are all the angels, saints, and ourselves. We come to praise God together. God being the Father, Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit all in one - one God - but three persons in one God.

[jmennona]

Just like an apple has three parts -but it's one apple. Or, like St. Patrick taught - a shamrock has three leaves, but it's only one shamrock. God has three persons, but is only one God.

[oklahomaweather1]

I'm confused with Catholics. If Jesus sits on the right hand of God, literally, then wouldn't that make two gods, therefore being paganistic? God is a Spirit (John 4:24) therefore does not literally have a right hand. Right hand represents power. This makes since because in Matt 28:18 all power was given to Jesus. So does this mean the Father is powerless? I don't know...the Trinity is just confusing. God Bless you. Isiah prophecies Jesus is the Everlasting Father.

[jmennona]

God sent His Son to earth who was both God (Divine) and human. He walked among us as part of God's revelation to us that those who follow God's ways and desire to be with God will belong to His kingdom.

[oklahomaweather1]

This is what mass is like? I'm only 15 but I love learning about new faiths. I'm not Catholic so this is way differant from my church. Our church doesn't believe in the Trinity, either. We believe in the Oneness of Jesus. I worship you Jesus, the Son of the Eternal God! We believe Jesus is the First and the Last, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Do Catholics worship Mary? Don't Catholics believe Mary is eternal? May God lead you into the Truth.

[jmennona]

God sent His Son to earth who was both God and human. The bread and wine are ordinary symbols but by the power of the Holy Spirit through the hands of the priest an ordinary person it becomes the Body and Blood of Christ. The words Christ said are said at Mass"This is my Body which shall be given up for you. Do this in memory of me." We offer ourselves with Jesus, who offered himself up for us - This happens at every Mass,Jesus is the High Priest and we are the mystical body.

[oklahomaweather1]

Yes. I know all about the Trinity. Infact, I have been taught by Trinitarians about the Trinity. But I still believe there is One, Eternal God, in one divine Spirit. This One divine Spirit (God) came to earth, now being known as the Son of God. He is both human (Son) and both God (Father). Jesus is the Son of the eternal God. Jesus will be the only one in the throne and we will all praise the Almighty God, our Everlasting Father. God Bless you. :)

[LATCHF]

If you want to see what traditional catholics are like, check out tleatherland's comments.

[Dauphin35]

Pope Benedict XVI is a Traditional Catholic.

[LATCHF]

I know that God won me my salvation and he offers salvation to everyone. It is up to each person to accept the free gift. I don't think about how he won me my salvation.

[LATCHF]

Some guy named Paul said " Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice!"

[jdieterich61]

I don't think there is any problem at all with being charismatic...we need to have respect for the Mass, which requires a full understanding of what it is, but we have to realize that God gave the Spirit and Its many extrordinary gifts for a reason. It is possible to be reverent and charismatic. The movement is very real, and very valid- we need to be open to the Spirit's call to the experience of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

[LATCHF]

Your right. By the fruits you shall know them.

1965 30 charismatic Catholics

2007 approximately 105 million Charismatic Catholics

[LATCHF]

Did it ever occur to you that God loves more than Catholics? Did it ever occur to you that God wants to heal and save Protestants? HE DIED ONCE FOR ALL!!!!!!

[amicuspublilius]

Christ's death was not IN time. God is not limited by time. So the "died 'once'" is misleading. Christ died eternally for all. Just a thought, because many people make that theological mistake and it has bad consequences.

[LATCHF]

The Pope showing respect for other religons... Shameful!!!! You attract more flies with a teaspoon of honey than a barrel of vinegar!

[LATCHF]

Were the apostles somber on the Day of Pentacost? God has redeemed us!It is to bad you consider Charismatics joy over being redeemed has being bad!

I love the way you are so non judgemental.

[FeministsEatCock]

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. Let me lay my holy hand upon you. My Gods will becomes me. When he speaks out he speaks through me He has needs like I do We both want to rape you Jesus Christ why dont you come save my life Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your lies

[stgianna]

In the Mass we enter into the sacrifice on calvary. Imagin if your mother or father was being executed right in front of you. Would you be "Charismatic"? Disrespect for the soleminty and seriousness of the Mass is disrespect for Christ. God Bless!

[FranciscoCojuanco]

I have no problem with the Pauline Mass - it's the abuses thereof that piss me off.

[tletch]

The early Church was Charismatic. Are you saying the early Church was out to lunch. Mind you, I imagine the Latin Traditionalists have their "own truth" about the early Chuch.

[tletch]

I love the way you Latin Traditionalists have humbly given yourselves the authority to judge what qualifies as a mass.

[tletch]

" By their fruits you shall know them" The only thing I have seen come out of Tratitionalist Circles are angry, bitter people who think they are king of the world.

[tleatherland]

Yes, "by their fruits," indeed. Post-Vatican II: empty churches; empty seminaries; pedophile "priests"; "Pope" JP II kissing the koran and worshipping with pagans at Assisi. If you're not bitter and angry at what has happened to the Church, shame on you.

[tletch]

There are estimates that there are 1 million Traditionalist Catholics in the world. I love the way they think that the rest of the Catholic world is obligated to follow their orders. You guys would fit in well with the Spanish Inquisition.

[Audinos]

Obviously spoken by someone whose only knowledge of the Spanish Inquisition came from the minds of Monty Python, Mel Brooks, and Jack Chick.

[tletch]

That is what I love about you Traditionalists, so kind, so gentle, so loving, so non judgemental.

I didn't say contents doesn't count. I just love the way you Traditionalists have humbly given yourselves the right to judge what qualifies has a Mass.

[purpledragoncat]

I liked your sermon - God bless you Father Jeffrey.

[tletch]

Just Remember, the Joy of The Lord is your strength!

[tletch]

I would love to see how ukidding explains some of the dramatic healings at Father Diorio healing services. My guess is wjweigand is a hardcore Latin Mass Fundamentalist. Don't worry about him. Open yourself up and let the Lord rule your life. You won't be disappointed!!!!

[PoisontheHoney]

Do you think the worship in the Temple of Jerusalem was more like a Charismatic Service or the Tridentine Mass? By the way...keep in mind that a Latin Mass is very different than a Tridentine Mass. The New Mass in Latin is just as bad as it is in English....the contents is what matters, not the appearance.

[PoisontheHoney]

My mistake, this is supposed to be a reply to tletch in his comment a few spaces below.

[wjweigand]

The sad part is that these kids and thier parents think they are being raised Catholic as they perform at a protestantized service.

[tleatherland]

Amen to that! The Novus Ordo is nothing more than a protestantized version of the "Mass." It's all about feeling good and worshipping humans, not God. Don't believe me? Then tell me why so many churches have replaced the tabernacle with the "presider's chair." They've replaced God with man.

[ukidding]

This is a message to the religious clergy out there. 

Along time ago, cavemen heard the wind and thought that the spirits were talking to them.

Today religious people talk of a spirit too.

What they have in common is a superstition.

They need a simple concept to understand the world so they have invented a supernatural.

It doesn't matter who made the supernatural because religious people don't want to get too technical.

Religion is anti-progressive and anti-modern.

[ukidding]

Bring back limbo: Petition the pope! I don't want to share heaven with crying, whining, shitting babies! Send them back to limbo please.

Someone hasn't thought matters through.

[MckyJcksn]

Wow, very Christian of you. I sincerely hope you are joking.

[MckyJcksn]

Okay, I didn't do this right. My last comment was intended as a reply to ukidding. Somehow it ended up top.

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

Praise God.

[Auragirl86]

I really like that song "We are Called"!

[ses6584]

Thank you very much~

[FeedKids]

5 Stars for a beautiful Mass. May God Bless and protect the children of the world. I was happy to see and hear the choir up front. The lead singer has an awesome singing voice! What a pleasure to watch high school singers, readers and servers participating in the Mass!!

[PraiseDivineMercy]

(continued because YouTube limits to 500 characters)

I would like to tell you that the televised mass means a great deal to many people, such as my grandmother who was bedridden for three years before her death last year.

A question: I never quite know what to do when I see a televised recording of the consecration. Of course I always show respect in the presence of His Body and Blood, but what does one do when He's on TV in this way? Keep up the good work Father.

[PraiseDivineMercy]

It's nice to see a little of the sacred here on YouTube, wonderful to be able to go online and listen to a lesson on scipture and divine love.

I laughed at one point because I'm in the our choir and we did the most of the same songs that Sunday. I agree with the other poster that the choir is best kept in a location other than the front, so as to emphasize the centality of the Eucharistic Sacrifice at the altar.

[Catholicguy]

Why is the choir up front?!? That's not how it's supposed to be. Put the choir in the back or someplace else. It detracts from the Altar. The choir sounds good. Try singing Gregorian chant. And use Latin in the Mass. And pipe organ. It'll sound so awesome!!

Great homily by the way!

May I ask where you are incardinated? Thanks.

[FatherJeffrey]

I am a priest in the Society of St. Paul, a religious congregation of priests and brothers dedicated to the use of media. Founded by Blessed Alberione we are in 30 countries.

[Henouk]

No - the music ministry is there to LEAD the congregation in song, it is so difficult to do so from the back.

The front is the place to lead music

[Catholicguy]

The Place for the Choir and the Musical Instruments

312. The choir should be positioned with respect to the design of each church so as to make clearly evident its character as a part of the gathered community of the faithful fulfilling a specific function. The location should also assist the choir to exercise its function more easily and conveniently allow each choir member full, sacramental participation in the Mass.

[Catholicguy]

The choir is a part of the assembly, and by tradition, Churches have had a choir loft specifically to be used by the choir.
