A reaction to the “Lift Off” from North Carolina

Posted on 24 January 2009 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

A reader from North Carolina sends a note:

Dear Friends of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form in North Carolina

Below the decree lifting the excommunication of the SSPX bishops.  The is an occasion for rejoicing!  We have prayed for this, and our prayers have been heard.  Now let us do three things:

1. Pray for the full reconciliation and union with the SSPX;

2. Reach out and thank our SSPX brothers and sisters  (Many of us know how much they have stepped forward and helped us with our Mass at Davis Chapel, right from the beginning, 04 x. 2007, and how they continue to support and help other local MEFs that are current);  and

3. Be so grateful to Holy Father!

Other news:  The first Vigil of the Month MEF at St. Ann Charlotte, which satisfies the Sunday obligation, will not take place Saturday, 31 Jan, but rather Saturday, 07 Feb., at 630pm. This per the secretary at St. Ann via telephone.

    Ditto to the above comment. What a wonderful day! Thanks be to God and His Mother Mary for this great grace. Thank God for our Pope. Sure, there are hurdles to overcome, but God’s Will be done. We can never forget this. Also, thank you Father Weber,Father Kowalski,Father Reid, Father Ferguson,Father Davis, and all those not known for their efforts in promoting the TLM.
