Gospel

Lk 9:18-22

Once when Jesus was praying in solitude,
and the disciples were with him,
he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah;
still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’”
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.”
He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone.

He said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.”

O/P: Those Darn Toxic Traddies!

By Catholic Cyber-Militia
I'm a traditional Catholic.  A " Traddie ," as friends and detractors alike label us.  I wear the badge of Beware the Toxic Traddie! "Traddie" with joy.  Being a Traddie offers stability, sanity, and context in these days of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval for our beloved Church.  I encourage my friends in the real world to discover the joys of the Traditional/Extraordinary Form of the Mass, and I endeavor to encourage my acquaintances in the Catholic Blog-O-Sphere to do likewise. One consistent criticism leveled against Traddies is that we lack charity.  There is some substance to this.  Welder Chick, our OHCA foundress of happy memory, pointed out this shortcoming on more than one occasion, and she was right. The characterization is often overplayed by non-Traddies, who act as if they consider this character flaw sufficient grounds for dismissing traditional Catholics in their entirety.  Yes, there are cranky Traddies out there who lack c...

My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. R.  Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 9:14-17 The disciples of John approached Jesus and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?" Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
