Nuntius Now Prays the [Much Longer] Old Latin Breviary

His Excellency is the Papal Nuncio to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

From Gloria.tv

Some weeks back, Archbishop Thomas Gullickson asked his friends on social media for prayers as he stopped saying the Novus Ordo "liturgy of the hours" and changed to the 1962 breviary.

On January 13 Gullickson wrote on his blog that the prayers were answered "in a rather delightful way."

"Since then I have been waking up at some time past midnight and praying Matins!”

His principal takeaway so far from the experience is a "new notion of time" or rather "the confirmation of long held convictions about the importance of sanctifying time... around the clock".

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
