Hello Everyone!
My, it's been a while since I've done anything related to the primary focus of this blog. Life sometimes diverts you in certain ways.
So for the altar-serving hungry, here's two items for you:
1) Eucharistic Adoration at St. Lawrence the Martyr - http://torontotlmserving.blogspot.ca/2013/07/more-from-st-lawrence-martyr.html
The new addition is a video taken near the end when "Holy God We Praise Thy Name" is done. In addition, did you know that this is an Extraordinary Form Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction???
2) Post Latin Mass Report, St. Joseph's June 29, 2013 Solemn Latin Mass - http://torontotlmserving.blogspot.ca/2013/07/post-latin-mass-report-june-29-solemn.html
Thanks to one of the altar servers, Andrew R, we have ourselves a report!
Enjoy the new serving-related content. Speaking of which, I should work on that 5th part of the step by step Latin Mass Q and A. It's been a while since I've covered Latin Mass serving-related stuff ...
Pax, Julian.

More from St. Lawrence the Martyr Extraordinary Form Eucharistic Adoration
Hello Everyone,
If you recall months back, St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish in Scarborough decided to add a weekly Eucharistic Adoration hour to their parish schedule.
I featured this new addition to the Extraordinary Form community in this posting back in February:
http://torontotlmserving.blogspot.ca/2013/02/extraordinary-form-eucharistic.html. However, to jot your memory ...
The weekly Eucharistic Adoration for St. Lawrence the Martyr, takes place on Sundays at 6pm to 7pm, before the Novus Ordo evening Mass. The benediction and adoration is done in the Extraordinary Form (in Latin) by the residing Latin Mass Chaplain, Fr. Steven Szakaczki.
The primary server for this weekly adoration, mentioned frequently here, Robin Cheung, has posted videos taken by a parishioner of the Adoration on his YouTube(tm) channel.
The first portion with Benediction taken in the last portion of Adoration and Benediction, is here. Everyone is singing "Tantum Ergo Sacramentum", the last two verses of Pange Lingua, traditionally sung in both Ordinary Form and Extraordinary Form Eucharistic Adoration. Also, The priest gives the following response:
P: Panem de caelo praestitisti eis (Alleluia) --> "Thou hast given them bread from Heaven (alleluia.)
People: Omne delectamentum in se habentem (alleluia) --> Having all sweetness within it (alleluia.)
P: Oremus. Deus, qui nobis sub Sacramento .....
The second Video is in this link for your viewing pleasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeslmyTV39Y. Because Robin didn't give it a unique title, Blogger cannot bring it up in a search for instant pasting into posts.

At this point in the second video, it is almost complete, with the traditional ending hymn (used both in the Novus Ordo and the Extraordinary Form,) "Holy God We Praise Thy Name". However you can tell it is Extraordinary Form as Robin bows when the Priest does, and his right hand is on his breast while carrying the thurible. Pax, Julian.

Extraordinary Form Eucharistic Adoration at St. Lawrence Martyr Sunday Evenings
Hello Everyone,
Something relatively new has started at St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish within the past few months. While this practice is not new to those who know of First Fridays, there is something new about it .....
St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic Church, Scarborough, now has weekly Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, every Sunday evening from 6 - 7pm, right before the late eve Novus Ordo English Mass. But there is more to it than just being another opportunity to be personally before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, ...
I highlight it here on S.U.D. because .... by my understanding from Robin Cheung, the adoration and benediction is done in the Extraordiary Form manner! We are talking full Latin prayers, and certainly no praise and worship guitar bands and bongos. It's straight up, just like it was before the Novus Ordo, with genuflections and/or reverences done at intervals that may be foreign to you who are used to adoration and benediction of the Novus Ordo kind. The adoration and benediction is done by the Latin Mass chaplain, Fr. Steven Szakaczki, and served by Robin Cheung, veteran EF Mass server of the parish.
So please, do try to attend this lovely, Extraordinary form of Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction in our diocese when you can. You might like it all in Latin with the traditional hymns. I have also added it to the Latin Masses in the core of the diocese page on my blog for those who are looking up Mass times and the like.
In addition, if anyone is able to go to it, and get video footage of the serving portions, I will credit you on this blog and create the posting about EF adoration/benediction with it. I don't just want to rely on my books alone for that one.
Pax, Julian Barkin.

Cardinal Collins at Newman Center for Lectio Divina and Eucharistic Adoration on Thurs Oct 4, 2012
Hello All,
This isn't totally Latin Mass related, as this was more of a "Novus Ordo" type event. However, I will post this, because Collins is actually is pro-Latin Mass and has been from the beginning. Were it not for him, there would be no Latin Mass Chaplain at St. Lawrence the Martyr in Scarborough and no Latin Masses there, nor likely the other efforts in the diocese.
Further, this highly intelligent, intellectual, who values the YOUTH of our diocese greatly (wanting us all to be Evangelical Catholics as was said at OCY Summer weekend 2011), is under high scrutiny from Liberals under his charge (including clergy) and other elements of society that seek to demean him, evidenced in the events leading up to, and the responses post Bill 13. Please pray for Collins, for he is vital to the efforts of the EF/Latin Masses in the diocese and needs our support and defence in any matter possible.
So mentioning that, I will bring attention to an event I could not attend due to an interview, that our Cardinal conducted via the University of Toronto's Newman Centre. Newman Centres are Catholic outreach centres on a number of college and university campuses in North America, and it is highly often one will find vibrant, practising Catholics abound in these centres. These centres provides resources such as pastoral counselling have their own attached parishes and priests or join up with a neighbouring diocesan parish, and hold other Catholic catechesis and social events (e.g. Bible study, Catechism classes, discussion groups, young adult groups ...)
+ Collins came last night to the Newman Centre to hold a Lectio Divina, or a "Divine Lesson" in Latin. L.D's are sessions led by a (hopefully skilled and learned) layperson or a clergy member, who takes the receptive attendees through prayer and meditation on a specific passage of Scripture. When each verse of the passage is broken down, anything could come from it, such as a reflection, a relation to a teaching from the Catechism, even a possible "enrichment" one can add to their prayer life or lesson to learn to enhance their practice of the Catholic faith. Having attended one of these sessions at the Cathedral in Toronto, I can endorse Collins' L.D's. In fact I must say this is an awesome strength the Cardinal possesses. In fact the first year that he brought this publicly to the diocese, with some instruction and enlightenment on the subject, can be found in his book, Pathway to Our Hearts: A Simple Approach to Lectio Divina With the Sermon on the Mount. Here's the link to one online store to buy the book, though there are other avenues to purchase it.
I wish I could report to you what happened there, but I have not spoken to my best friend in faith yet. However, I can provide you with a very poignant image, one that exemplifies the Cardinal and his mandate, and how he's being an example to us Latin Mass goers:
On that note I hope the picture leaves you with enough to take from it. However, hear's the deal: First read my blog rules in my first post. Then, if you have to comment, do it constructively and in a Cardinal virtue kind of spirit. If you come out being all angry about the "Resurrefix" (personal note: I'm not in agreement with this) or criticize the Cardinal without a valid reason (e.g. liturgical abuse) or myself, the rules will be enacted depending on the gravity of the post.
Enjoy the picture.

Picture taken from the Facebook page of the Newman Centre of the University of Toronto, Archdiocese of Toronto.
There is currently no reflection on the Newman Centre sites about this event. What I can say though is this is a powerful example of the reverence and care +Collins has for our Catholic faith. If Collins was acting, (as others criticize him in some dark corners of the traditional Catholic blogosphere or circles,) not in the best interest of the faith or all 'Spirit of Vatican II', do you think he'd show up to do a Lectio Divina, never mind Eucharistic Adoration which is 'gasp' a traditional Catholic practice??? He is clearly leading by example here. Yes we would all collectively like a bigger interest and more aid from our Cardinal for the Latin Mass, but at least it's safe to say he isn't afraid to walk the walk in expressing the Catholic faith, even with traditional practices deemed 'pre-Vatican II.'
On that note I hope the picture leaves you with enough to take from it. However, hear's the deal: First read my blog rules in my first post.
