EL AMOR ES LA ESENCIA DE DIOS.


 "El amor es la esencia de Dios mismo, es el sentido de la creación y de la historia, es la luz que da bondad y belleza a la existencia de cada hombre. Al mismo tiempo, el amor es, por así decirlo, el "estilo" de Dios y de cada hombre creyente, y el comportamiento de quien, respondiendo al amor de Dios, orienta su vida como don a Dios y al prójimo. En Jesucristo estos dos aspectos forman una completa unidad: El es el Amor encarnado".
Benedicto XVI, ángelus de 31/01/10.

About Una Voce

Una Voce (from the Preface of the Most Holy Trinity – with one voice) is an international federation of associations, founded in 1966 in Rome, that now includes national associations in 17 nations on every continent. It is dedicated to ensuring that the Roman Mass codified by St. Pius V is maintained as one of the forms of Eucharistic worship which are honored in universal liturgical life, and to restoring the use of Latin, Gregorian Chant, and sacred polyphony in Catholic liturgy. The Una Voce International website provides information about officers and national associations.

Members believe that use of Latin in the Mass and Sacraments is a unifying force, needed by the Church in these days of widespread controversy. They believe that using the rites which were the form of Catholic worship for over 1,500 years will preserve the traditional emphasis on the Mass as Sacrifice, with its central teaching of transubstantiation, This, in turn, will help reverse the decline in vocations as altar boys, charged with difficult and meaningful duties, will be imbued from an early age with a sense of the sacred. We Catholics possess a living heritage. We owe a duty to our posterity to transmit it in its fullness, and as a living tradition. This is not only the feeling of Una Voce, it is the teaching of all the postconciliar Popes.

This web page is designed to communicate information regarding and related to Una Voce’s mission of service to the Church.

A discussion of liturgical and spiritual life will often touch upon theological, historical, aesthetic, ecclesiological, or social influence and factors in the life of the Church. As such, it is often beneficial to provide a range of thought, all within the limits of orthodox doctrine and practice, to give a broader view of the issues of importance to this organization.

Una Voce’s mission is to support only the celebration of the Tridentate/Gregorian Rite Mass within the Church, in union with the Holy See and the Bishops united with the Supreme Pontiff of the Church as permitted through the 1988 indult, Ecclesia Dei adflicta.

The mission of  Una Voce is, and has been since its founding in 1964, the promotion and support of the traditional Latin Mass within the Church, in union with Rome.

Any writings presented on this Web page are believed to be fully orthodox and in perfect compliance with the teaching magisterial of the Church. We accept that the 1969 Novus Ordos of Pope Paul VI is a valid rite of Mass. We accept that the Second Vatican Council was a valid Ecumenical Council of the Church and we hold that its teachings are to be given the appropriate respect in relation to authority of its decrees.

In those cases where criticism of reform able policies or pastoral decisions of the Church is warranted, we offer opinions as permitted to the faithful in accordance with Canon 212 paragraph 3 of the Code of Canon Law.

We trust that those who read the materials presented on this Web page will draw from it a deeper respect for the Latin liturgical tradition of the Church, and gain encouragement and strength for their own spiritual growth.

 

We welcome corrections or updates to any information presented herein and we hope that readers will find   these  resource of value and benefit.
