Letters to Editor

All in for Gregorian

I really wish you did not focus so much on music. As far as I’m concerned if it’s not Gregorian Chant it’s a huge distraction for me from the beauty of the Mass. When it’s silent I can hear the Holy Spirit whisper to me. Mass is so very noisy it’s a torture. Glad to read about kneeling. I had a knee replacement in June & causes me great pain but I still kneel.

Let’s Hear from the World

I am thankful for the Adoremus Bulletin.

Enclosed please find my renewal donation for 2017, plus additional for prison ministry requests and needy overseas underfunded requests, etc.  Please try to expand your Readers’ page to include more little notes or excerpts from letters, etc. as I do enjoy “hearing” from far flung places and diverse people that are enjoying and learning about our faith from the Adoremus Bulletin.

Sri Lanka Calling Back

Let me thank you for your gracious offer of sending us the Adoremus magazine. My monastic community and I would keep all of you in our prayers. This magazine will certainly help us as we monks are supposed to give our best to the sacred liturgy. Thanks for your good will and generosity. We look forward to the January issue. Actually, I came across the magazine while browsing the net for articles on liturgy.

God bless you.

Father Shamindra Jayawardena OSB
