By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing - Many of us know that we’re supposed to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Christ.  We might also know that Christ, although He is the Son of God and the Son of Man, the great messianic figure prophesied in Daniel (7:13-14), is also the “Suffering Servant,” whose sufferings bring about our redemption, described in four “servant songs” in Isaiah. (42:1 – 53:12)... Knowing all this, we might still wonder: Why must we suffer?  The large number of dead in the flash-flooding in Texas, where I live, for instance, raises the question anew. Why?

By Rob Marco, Crisis Magazine - We see the “rediscovery” of the TLM taking place in people who were not alive when either Archbishop Lefebvre or John Paul II were and who have no emotional baggage or trauma from the indult era... In 2017, when we were still attending the local Novus Ordo parish Mass (and about a year and a half before we discovered the Latin Mass), I wrote a blog post where I was wrestling with the ephemeral, lamenting planned obsolescence, and worrying about the faith of my young children in withstanding the cultural zeitgeist of secularism.
