𝗡𝗢 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 & 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗦

Starting tomorrow until end of Holy Week, as part of our Lenten discipline, let us refrain from clapping during and after the Holy Mass.

When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's Passover, and at the same time that single sacrifice of Christ at Calvary is made present for us. We are being brought to that moment in Calvary during the Eucharist (CCC #1364, cf. Heb 7:25-27). Lent is basically a preparation for Good Friday. Do you still think clapping is appropriate?

Some would argue that they clap to express their joy and thanksgiving but by that we are reducing the Liturgy to a prayer service or a social event just made to entertain us. We must always remember that the Mass is the 𝑟𝑒-𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 of Jesus Christ's sacrifice of the cross (CCC #1366, cf. 1 Cor 11:23-26). The Mass is the greatest form of Christian prayer and worship, therefore, clapping adds no value.

Starting tomorrow, let us discipline ourselves and avoid clapping.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As we prepare to enter the holy season of Lent, we are invited to begin this sacred journey on Ash Wednesday. On this day, the Church calls us to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we receive ashes on our foreheads—a sign of repentance, humility, and our desire for conversion.
Ash Wednesday reminds us of our need for God’s mercy and encourages us to renew our relationship with Him. It is a time to pause, reflect, and realign our hearts with the Gospel.
We warmly invite everyone to join the Eucharistic celebration and the imposition of ashes as we begin our Lenten journey together.

“You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” — Psalm 110
Lord, thank You for the gift of Father Vidal’s life and priesthood. Continue to bless him with good health, peace, and joy as he leads Your people through the Holy Eucharist and music. May his service always bear fruit for Your glory. Amen.

For fifty years, Fr. Angel Vidal R. Ludan, CICM has faithfully served the Church with a grateful and missionary heart — from Solano, Nueva Vizcaya to Brazil and beyond. His priesthood reflects dedication, humility, and a lifelong “yes” to God’s call. Truly, his life is a blessing to the Church and a living witness to Christ’s Kingdom without borders.

Happy 50th Presbyteral Anniversary, Father Vidal!
