OUR ORATORY VIGIL MASS
AND ARCHBISHOP JOHN CHARLES MC QUAID.
My first experiences Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus was in the early 70s when J C McQuaid presided over its performance by Our Ladys Choral Society.
Everybody else was seated for Mc Quaid to arrive last. We all stood while the choral society sang Ecce Sacerdos Magnus.
ECCE SACDRDOS MAGNUS
What is the meaning of Ecce Sacerdos Magnus?
Behold the Great Priest
DEAF GUY’S PIC OF MC QUAID
I’m HOLY WEEK we Christians, among other very important things, are celebrating the defeat of Satan and Evil by God and the forces of Good.
When I was growing up, ALL the Church and clergy talked about was the Devil, hell and sin.
Now you hardly ever hear these things talked about.
I believe in the existence of Satan, who is the spiritual personification of all that is EVIL – just as God is the spiritual personification of all that is GOOD.
Do I believe in the creature with the horns, fork, and hooved feet?
No. That is a caricature.
But Satan, being a spirit, can appear in all forms – but generally acts through others – others often unwittingly.
In my 70 years, I have had 3 personal and physical encounters with Satan.
1. At the grotto in Lourdes circa 1981.
2. During my ordination retreat at Glencomeragh in June 1976.
3. In a presbytery in Ossory diocese circa 1978.
Every day in my work and ministry on this blog, I see more and more evidence that Satan has infiltrated the RC institution, episcopate, and priesthood.
When priests have sex on altars, Satan is in charge 😞
GOOD FRIDAY. THE ORATORY. 2023.
