God Bless,

Like Eva , I’d very much like to thank you for your comments on Archbishop Marini ’s interview, because he spoke the thruth . He spoke about love and unity among us which was a very important reason for the “motu proprio” of Pope Benedict XVI.

You’re quite right in your opinion. Indeed we are not suppose to turn the Holy Mass into a weapon of division.
It’s heartbreaking to read some blogs.

Our Holy Father during his beautiful homily at Saint Patrick Catherdral said:

“For all of us, I think, one of the great disappointments which followed the Second Vatican Council, with its call for a greater engagement in the Church’s mission to the world, has been the experience of division between different groups, different generations, different members of the same religious family. We can only move forward if we turn our gaze together to Christ! In the light of faith, we will then discover the wisdom and strength needed to open ourselves to points of view which may not necessarily conform to our own ideas or assumptions. Thus we can value the perspectives of others, be they younger or older than ourselves, and ultimately hear “what the Spirit is saying” to us and to the Church (cf. Rev 2:7). In this way, we will move together towards that true spiritual renewal desired by the Council, a renewal which can only strengthen the Church in that holiness and unity indispensable for the effective proclamation of the Gospel in today’s world.”

Wise and clear words … cannot we follow and listen to our Holy Father ?

But that’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.

So thank you again and keep up the good work.
