"I grew up listening to Lessons & Carols from Cambridge and that was
Advent-Christmas for me. Then I moved to Rome and discovered Rorate
Masses, the Novena of the Immaculate Conception with the Tota Pulchra,
the Christmas Novena, the O Antiphons, the Aspiciens, the Rorate Coeli,
the Alma Redemptoris Mater: that's Advent for me now. I am glad to see
seminarians all over the US doing Lessons & Carols, but are they
learning our ancient Roman traditions alongside a 20th c. Anglican
one?"
-Rev. Christopher Smith
