inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! Following on from this report about Extraordinary Form Masses starting up in Australia's Newcastle, NLM readers may be interested in a long-standing arrangement in another Newcastle.
St Dominic's priory church in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the North East of England has for a few decades been home to a stable community who choose to celebrate the Mass according to the Missal of Blessed John XXIII. Each Sunday at 11:30am, a Missa Cantata in the usus antiquior is sung, with a small choir who sing Gregorian chant, and some polyphony.
The Mass is principally said by the Prior of the Dominican community, who is also parish priest, although he is assisted on certain Sundays by two other priests of the diocese of Hexham & Newcastle. As such, the Mass is part of the parish's liturgical life. In addition to this Mass there are three Masses in the Ordinary Form said in this church every Sunday.
