New Springtime: The Sacred and Profane Have Kissed: Quite an Extraordinary Tale

From New Springtime: A Journal of Faith, Culture and Society (which is the journal of the Australian Catholic Students association) comes an interesting reflection by a young Catholic, Tara Peters, on her and some of her confreres experience of September the 14th. It's a wonderfully word-painted read.

"Each new discovery of the ancient Roman Missal is a victory for the wider culture. If one only considered becoming familiar with the prayers at the foot of the altar, then already there would be opened up vast amounts of fine Catholic literature for a new generation to pick up and read!
