Back to Questions About The Faith.

Vee, the new words of consecration talk about Jesus' blood "shed for you and for many so that sins may be forgiven" while the current Missal says "for you and for all."

Isn't the "for many" opening the door to Jansenism? Do we want to be opening that door?

Krissylou, I think that's actually good question, but maybe belongs in a different phorum on Phatmass. There is a thread on the new translation in the "News" forum, and Nihil gives a very good explanation of the new translation of this specific phrase in post #96. (For some reason, my computer won't let me copy and paste today, or I'd give you a link.)

Although Vee8 is an expert on a number of theological issues including those related to translation, and is fluent in Latin, ancient and Modern Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, she is so humble she does not believe in displaying her knowledge either on the Internet or in private. I wouldn't push her, because she won't give in no matter how hard you try.

Vee, I know that the Triduum isn't technically part of Lent, it's a mini-season of its own, but still is it quite right to stop one's Lenten disciplines before Easter Sunday?

What is DS doing here???

Vee, I was looking around at various church's schedules and for this weekend and a nearby monastery had a vigil at 4:30 AM!!!!

I am not nearly holy enough to go to church at 4:30 am. Not nearly.

Is this a problem?

Vee,

when that blind dude gets healed by Jesus...why doesn't he automatically see? Why does Jesus have to do an extra hands-on healing?

Also, why does he see "people, but they look like trees walking??" BLIND PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TREES LOOK LIKE???


Also, do blind people dream, and if so...what do they "see" in dreams??



BOO-YA!

You could ask St Anthony or say three Glory Be's the latter being my preferred method of finding stuff.

The problem lies in the factor whereby holiness is dictated by lack of sleep and/or hour of early rising. I think it is best, then, to just never sleep at all and go to the earliest Mass possible. Or latest in this case. Either that or get stuck in the slacker section of heaven.



I went to the 9pm vigil. I am a heathen.

Dude! I always wondered that same thing! But the parish priest here said he wasn't just born blind, but he was born without EYES. Then he spit in the dirt, and made clay eyes for him. O_O

I have never heard this before. Can someone more theologically versed enlighten me?
