The Archdiocese of Baltimore has issued this press release . I just heard a summary of this on a local news channel. Catholics Excused from Attending Mass if Travel is Unsafe 12/19/2009 Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, Archbishop of Baltimore, is reminding Catholics in the Archdiocese that Church law excuses them from fulfilling the Sunday obligation to attend Mass due to a "grave cause," such as unsafe travel due to severe weather conditions. Those who cannot safely attend Mass are encouraged to listen to the Sunday Radio Mass on WBAL-AM (1090) at 9:30 am or watch the TV Mass on EWTN. Check ewtn.com for more information. EWTN's TV schedule for the Fourth Sunday of Advent shows televised Masses at 8 AM (Live) and again rebroadcast at Noon.

Jeffrey Tucker of the New Liturgical Movement has done an invaluable service by posting the "Christmas Proclamation" or "Kalenda" on the NLM blog. The link is here . Notice that he has both the USCCB version and that which will be sung "in LATIN" at the Vatican. I have posted links in the past since this is a perennial search. However, for the definitive version, go here ! Notice that the comments are also excellent! Thanks, Jeffrey!

A visitor asked "what is a Greater Feria ?" I strictly use the Ordo of the F.S.S.P. found linked in the "header above" and linked also here . The Ferias of the next several days are listed as the " Greater Ferias ." The reason for this designation is that these Ferias use the marvelous " O Antiphons " of antiquity. Check, for example info here , and also here . By the way, I found an online Ordo here for the many who are searching for one which one can download to a calendar or into Microsoft. It seems to be a nice tool. [No warranty is expressed or implied, however!]. I personally like the "book" format of my spiral bound F.S.S.P. Ordo just purchased...
