Preaching the Message of the Motu

Fr. Martin Fox, from his homily this weekend:

This is why we aren’t supposed to be too “creative” with the liturgy. We believe the Holy Spirit governs the Church. But people are hard to work with—it takes time. Centuries—even thousands of years. Tradition is the accumulated effect of the Holy Spirit teaching us, sorted through all our human frailties. With great humility, we embrace our Tradition, rather than casting it aside because it’s “old,” or, “we don’t understand it.”

Whether you agree or disagree, you'll be enlightened if you read it all.
