Monday, June 15, 2020 – We are still waiting on Mr. Flusche’s new laptop. I think it is waiting for its next ride in Kentucky, but don’t quote me on that. Anyhoo, now it is a race to see if it gets here before the long-lost postage stamp orchard I ordered two months ago. This Read More
Day 90 – Corpus Christi!!!
Sunday, June 14, 2020 – Happy Thursday on a Sunday! Thursday, June 11, 2020 was the Feast of Corpus Christi in the old calendar, unless you are celebrating today according to the new calendar. In which case, happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Remember all that stuff I said about Read More
Day 89 – Still Waiting…
Saturday, June 13, 2020 – Yup, we are still waiting on Mr. Flusche’s new laptop. It has passed customs, but is taking a break in Kentucky because traveling is hard on everyone. Saint Christopher, pray for us!
Day 88 – A Busted Computer, a (very) Short Story, and a Break
Friday, June 12, 2020 – For the last week I have been writing super-fast posts in the mornings while Mr. Flusche is at court. It has been a whirlwind of typing: fast and furious. However, it was fairly easy because I had thankfully outlined the posts. BUT…WHY?? (nobody asked) A few days ago Mr. Flusche Read More
Day 87 – Mass and Participation Awards
Thursday, June 11, 2020 – Now that we have discussed (slow rolled) both forms of the Mass, it is time to go deeper into what participation at Mass really means. You have probably heard the term “active participation” and wondered if you are “doing” enough. In case nobody has told you, there is NO “participation Read More
Day 86 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVII)
Wednesday, June 10, 2020 – Today is going to be very short and blessedly not confusing. However, this section also has some choices. Thankfully they are not confusing. This is the final part of the Novus Ordo. For whatever reason, this part has been given its own section in the USCCB outline. I can only Read More
Day 85 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVI)
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 – Today we are going to focus on just the Communion part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is fairly similar to the Communion part of the Mass of the Faithful. Unfortunately, this is where we see a lot of the prayers from the Traditional Latin Mass left out. Anyhow, Read More
Day 84 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XV)
Monday, June 8, 2020 – Yesterday we started talking about the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Novus Ordo and saw that there was a lot missing in the New Mass vs. the Traditional Latin Mass in terms of the prayers said over the gifts. Today we continue with the Liturgy of the Eucharist: the Read More
Day 83 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XIV)
Sunday, June 7, 2020 – While much of yesterday’s post was extremely confusing, today is going to be a little less so…except where it isn’t. Okay, so today is going to be confusing too. The downside of how the USCCB has divided the Novus Ordo (NO) is that their outline leaves a lot of “stuff” Read More
Day 82 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XIII)
Saturday, June 6, 2020 – Today we are continuing on with our walk through of the Novus Ordo (NO). Yesterday we covered the Introductory Rites, now we are going to cover the Liturgy of the Word. This section can be compared to the “Instruction” part of the Mass of Catechumens in the Traditional Latin Mass. Read More
