Saints Cyril and Methodius

How lovely that the Holy Father has chosen the traditional feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius to release the long-awaited motu proprio regarding the traditional liturgy, Summorum Pontificum!

Just as these great saints went forth into the pagan lands of eastern Europe to spread the words of Christ using a common language, so will the Mass in its traditional form go into a world, unbelieving and hostile, to bring men closer to Him.

By Providence, may the traditional Mass and sacraments -- and the spirituality and theology that was abandoned along with them over the past 40 years -- give Catholic culture a unifying principle as the glagolitic alphabet helped bring the Slavic peoples to Christ so many centuries ago.

Slava Isusu Christu! Slava Vo Viki!
