By Jonah McKeown, Catholic News Agency -  Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit announced Wednesday that parish churches in the archdiocese that offer the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will be unable to do so after July 1, citing the Vatican’s 2023 clarification that diocesan bishops do not possess the authority to allow the TLM to be celebrated in an existing parish church... A prominent Detroit shrine will still be able to offer the TLM, however, and Weisenburger said he intends to identify at least four non-parish locations in the archdiocese where the TLM can be celebrated.

By Mary Cuff, Crisis Magazine - The rooster proclaims another reality of Christ: this one tied to the rooster’s role in Peter’s denial. In the Exultet, the deacon proclaims the line, “O Happy Fault, that merited such and so great a redeemer!” The fault here is Adam’s, not Peter’s, but it attests to the reality that Christ transforms our fallenness. Perched faithfully upon the spire-cross of a church, the weathercock would announce to the parish that the deep shame of Peter’s failure is overcome by the deeper mercy of Christ.

By Fr. Paul D. Scalia, The Catholic Thing - Our Lord’s disciples have a curious reaction to His resurrection. It is a combination of hurry and hesitation, of racing and reluctance. The women go from the tomb quickly…fearful yet overjoyed. Something about their response is both swift and hesitant. Likewise, with Peter and John. They run to see the empty tomb, but still with some hesitancy. The passage ends with the curious statement that they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead. As if they were still holding something back.
