When I was in 4th year high school that was 2007 I already practicing how to pray in Latin (basic prayers) because one time I saw in a catholic channel (EWTN) that when every time they celebrate their televised mass they mixed latin in their liturgy so I become curios about Latin prayers, in that curiosity I watched the traditional latin mass in EWTN and I was amazed especially when they received communion they kneel near the altar. Then I had also a classmate who is a sacristan when I ask question about the Latin mass he said he is also learning about the TLM through internet and watched the Full TLM in the youtube and he was also amazed. From that time on I dreamed to attend a TLM in personal some day but at that time there’s no existing TML in Baguio because that was 2007. But when I was in college, I was 3rd year at that time (2009); I saw an announcement in the bulletin board of Baguio Cathedral that they are inviting parishioners to attend TLM, and then I said to my self I want to attend that mass but unluckily I never attended that mass. Now that I’m reviewing for our board exam and our review center is near the Cathedral and I had a time to attend the mass, I have no excused attending the TLM. For the First time I attended the TLM, this statement by the med tech student reminded of my first time experience, this is what I exactly experienced: “I tried to recall all the videos I have watched about the Traditional Rite, and I began to get excited at the fact that I was about to witness everything before my very eyes. The silence was invigorating, inspiring, elevating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
