Don’t just attend

From Mrs Mary Lord SIR – Stuart Reid (Charterhouse, January 2) suggests a New Year resolution to do more to support the extraordinary form of the Mass. I agree that we should do all we can to support to those, clergy and others, who are doing their bit to make the “‘old” Mass available more widely, in accordance with the Holy Father’s wishes.
Perhaps, though, the best resolution for our own spiritual welfare would be to allow the traditional Mass, with its extraordinary spiritual richness, more opportunity to support us. Don’t just attend it, but learn a bit more about it... and in so doing become more receptive to the graces that flow from the Holy Sacrifice.
Yours faithfully, MARY LORD Abingdon, Oxfordshire
