Martin, I suggest not trying to win arguments, but rather explain the beauty of the Mass and everything it represents. They will then see for themselves that the outward presentation of many a Novus Ordo is in fact an affront to God.

Yes, the NOM is so banal, shallow. The plainest Low Mass has unfathomable depths in comparison. Talking down something someone identifies with, mistakenly, raises hackles. Working off something like Fr Fortescue's intro to the many, many editions of The Roman Missal: the liturgy for layfolk and everything he wrote, is a great to way to find the words to espouse the cause of the Mass of Ages. Talking up the Mass of Ages, ignoring the NOM works better, I find.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

The Birds
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

O Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, offer, we beseech thee, to the Eternal Father, the Precious Blood of thy Divine Son to prevent at least one mortal sin from being committed somewhere in the world this day.

Our Lady of Fatima Comic...
Hello,
I wanted a children's book for my kids and found this. I was wanted to review it before I bought it, so I got the Ebook. This book was Beautiful! I'm in my late twenties, but I cried because Our Lady's messages became so real...and practical! Not only are the messages clearly summarized, but it shows the reader HOW to be able to apply them. This book reads like a comic book, but is so beautifully illustrated, it really is for all ages! This type of work is so relevant in our generation and really should be supported! I hope and pray for MORE of these in the future. May God bless the team who made this. Go Deo Gratias Company!

I'm very pleased in general with Raymond Arroyo. His coverage of Pope Francis' more troubling remarks with the "Papal Posse" has been very solid.

As for Chesterton, this is my first book of his. What I understand I find very clever. Much of it goes completely over my head. Oops.

Miles, you are a reading machine! You have tackled more than I have ever even tried! And I am eons older than you!
To board the struggle bus: no whining, board with a smile, a fake one will be found out and put off at next stop, no maps, no directions, going only one way, one destination. Follow all rules and you will arrive. Drop off at pearly gate. Bring nothing.
