In Tonga the missionaries even borrowed canons from the king to fire salutes for Christ the King.<br /><br />And Pope Pius XI. of blessed memory gave out the missionary prayer intention for August 1937 that the pagans may be drawn to the Church by the splendor of the liturgy.Konstantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701303189143549671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-8613854497223929882013-12-23T08:28:05.270+00:002013-12-23T08:28:05.270+00:00Agree.

Thank you for a post which shows that there is no contradiction between a beautiful liturgy and the beauty of loving our neighbour. How can there ever be a contradiction ?

I look around sometimes and wonder what on earth parishes are doing with all the money they're saving on the liturgy.<br /><br />Our Lady of Good Success-pray for us.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14746510579669229511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-36388754538680273812013-12-23T00:20:52.531+00:002013-12-23T00:20:52.531+00:00Well said, Laurence.Well said, Laurence.Gentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569143943867323153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-86422414579882910162013-12-23T00:04:04.465+00:002013-12-23T00:04:04.465+00:00St Mary Magdalen is an inspiration to us all in yo...St Mary Magdalen is an inspiration to us all in your approach to the poor and homeless.
