“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

After Mass today, all the engaged couples were there to listen to their music options for their upcoming nuptial Masses so our pastor didn’t do the blessing. He planned on doing it the following weekend, but I let him know (I’m on our Worship Commission) that according to the Big Book of Blessings it’s only allowed to be done on 2/2 or 2/3.
What do you bless on the feast of St. Joseph Calasanz?
The blessing was given after low Mass today, but I couldn’t make it. February is the cruelest month … for sick children!
I just got back from daily Mass at a different parish, where the priest was offering the individual blessing again.
I didn’t know you could receive it twice, or I would have gone a second time.
The vote was “no, I didn’t or couldn’t go”. But I’m fairly sure I’m still going to receive it.
Both at my TLM home-community (community because not technically a parish), where I couldn’t be anyway, and at the TLM someplace else which I did attend and where we had a really beautiful Candlemas ceremony and Mass, there was no Blessing of Throats. I guess they both thought this loads the day too much with ceremonies.
Of course, there was a blessing on St. Blaise’s Day itself. I couldn’t make because it was… er… early in the morning, and I didn’t go somewhen mid-day (I had a day off for another reason) or in the evening because somehow I think it bad style to receive twice:
and there’ll be a Blessing of the Throat next Sunday after the Mass for Septuagesima at my TLM community (and also, by coincidence, at the TLM community where I attended for Candlemas), which I intend to receive.
I was on board the Church Militant Retreat at Sea. Since we were disembarking early on Sunday Feb. 2 they offered a Vigil Mass Saturday Evening at which Father blessed throats en masse. Due to being shipboard lighted candles were not allowed per the cruise lines regulations against open flames.
