Dear Friends in Christ,

On June 20, Crisis Magazine published an online article whose headline grabbed my attention: “First Reaction of Teenage Boys to the Traditional Latin Mass”. Written by a Catholic high school religion teacher, the author explains that for the past few years he has been giving a rather ingenious assignment to all of his students – boys from families who attend the Novus Ordo – during their junior year: “to attend either the Mass of another Catholic Rite or the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, and to describe their experience, writing what was the same or different and their honest reactions to it.”

The feedback he has received is enlightening and encouraging: “Overall, the Traditional Latin Mass seemed more holy than the ordinary Mass I’m accustomed to.” “The Latin language as a whole, I feel, is much more fitting for what the Mass really is.” “One thing I really liked about the Latin Mass was the meditation that is involved. For me, it forced me to examine my conscience.” These are but a small sample of student reactions after attending their first Traditional Mass.

As I wrote last October while covering the Youth Synod in Rome, young Catholics are starving for the beauty, order, and permanence that only Tradition can provide. By and large, they have been deprived of their Catholic birthright, not because of malice, but due primarily to ignorance on the part of their parents. Will you help us keep our apostolate going strong in order to reach such souls with Catholic Tradition?
