Watch, Compare, Decide
Above is a video presentation in honor of Holy Thursday when our Lord Jesus Christ instituted the Priesthood and the Blessed Eucharist.
More wonderful videos like that above can be found at Sacred Heart Church. The site is full of great orthodox homilies and reverently celebrated Masses presented by eloquent, charismatic priests. The reverence displayed by the clergy of this parish is truly inspirational.
Now, compare the video above with this:
Before the above Sacrilegious, devil distributing Holy Communion video makes you cry out in disgust, I would like to turn your attention to a Good Friday of the Lord's Passion homily from Sacred Heart Church by Par. Vicar Fr. John Cihak. (Notice that Sacred Heart carries on the tradition of veiling statutes)
Now, how can we replace such a beautiful homilies- as we've heard in the above video- with this one below where we'll see a teenager give a SEVEN minute homily on love. Why don't we invite the congregation to take turns in celebrating the 'Happy Meal' (as it is now 'affectionately' known as) as well?
I shan't comment any further. Watch, compare, and decide where you stand: Reverent and orthodox liturgy or Happy MESSes.
May I now invite the faithful to recite the following in reparation:

Let Us Pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who dost deign to remain with us in
Thy wonderful Sacrament to the end of the world, in order to
give to Thy Father, by the memory of Thy Passion, eternal glory,
and to give to us the Bread of life everlasting: Grant
us the grace to mourn, with a heart full of sorrow, over the
injuries which Thou hast received in this adorable Mystery,
and over the many sacrileges which are committed by the impious,
by heretics and by bad Catholics.
Inflame us with an ardent zeal to repair all these insults to which,
in Thine infinite mercy, Thou hast preferred to expose Thyself
rather than deprive us of Thy Presence on our altars, Who with God
the Father and the Holy Spirit livest and reignest one God,
world without end. R\ Amen.
