Every Mass is Extraordinary [I Am a Traditional Catholic]

"The body and blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ" - what can be more extraordinary than that?

In Roman Catholicism we often see a division between those who prefer a style and form of liturgy what has come to be called the "Ordinary" Form, usually in a vernacular language, the 'usual' Mass one experiences around the world today - and the "Extraordinary" Form - the Mass of Ages, the Mass of Trent, the 'Traditional Latin Mass': the Mass with its direct roots in such antiquity a thousand years before that.

Sundays.

But either way, when we think about it: we meet God Himself in the Eucharist. That is [i]extraordinary[/i] beyond measure.

It seems fitting then, despite my own preferences, that there exist two forms in which we do this. (Would that some permutations of the 'Ordinary' Form take on the reverence of the 'Extraordinary', though!)

But every Mass is extraordinary, really.
