Proof that Latin is no barrier to learning the Tridentine Mass. 🙏
@@asaxr And Latin is the most "democratic" language nowadays, it's no one's mother tongue. Perfect as liturgical language, worldwide.
Singing Greek not Latin. This was always Greek .
Kyrie Eleison is always Greek. In Latin it would be Domine miserere nobis...
@@VerbumVeritatisVincit agreed. None the less, not a barrier to learning the mass. ☺️🙏
That was part of the beauty of the Latin Mass. It was exactly the same Mass in every church in every city in every country. Everywhere, the same.
Still better than any film Disney has produced in the last twenty years!
🔥❤️
amen
There is hope in these beautiful children.
This took place nearly 100 yrs ago. I highly doubt any of them are still alive.
Están vivos para la Eternidad,porque rezaron y vivieron su fe:así se protegieron de la muerte eterna.@@gotogd1233
Wow,beautiful children with lovely chanting voice.
God bless all these children.
Mesmerising to see and listen to the children sing and Praise God👌👏🏼🙏
Proud to be a Catholic 🙏❤
Wow, amazing!
Wherever you go and whatever time the mass never changed!
Until it did, in the destructive and reckless 60s
As children of God, we recognize beauty when we see it.
❤️
Oh what a wonderful and beautiful souls these children are...
My heart became filled with pride, warm and childlike joy.
Almighty and merciful God, remember these voices raised to You in innocence and obedience in Jesus Christ.
Deo Gratias
Born in 1951, i remember how beautiful the thriving Catholic Church life was as compared to now. The Church still thrives and will explode in numbers, but my generation has witnessed an extremely hard century in the time since Christ instituted Her. This is beautiful to see!
cannot agree with u more

From Heaven. The One True Mass.
I remember singing that kyrie in latin as a youngster. Goes to show how old I am. I also was an altar boy and said the mass in latin.
It was before people were told that they're to stupid too learn Gregorian Chant.
This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
How i wish some of them are still alive ,reminiscing their childhood days.
God reward you 🙏
Heaven is better.
it's really a touching moment, being a children of God is such a beautiful things on earth...
What striking beauty and innocence, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
God bless the children
So we'll behaved!❤🙏
Absolutely enchanting. I have goose bumps!
Beautiful kids ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🙏🏼
Love this so much !!! Fr Patrick Peyton, pray for us 🙏☘️🌹
You, sir, just earned your 1,000th subscriber.
And yet some clergy believe this Mass, administered to nearly all Canonized Saints, should be banned… We MUST return to tradition. No more status quo ordo at st. typicals. Salve Maria!
I’m not accusing them of being Devil worshippers, but the clergy pushing for this banning of it are at least unwittingly doing his work; not God’s.
One nation under God
God bless these children & their parents.
God's kingdom is universal
AMAZING ❤🙏🏾✝️
Saint Francis Xavier pray for the Church in Red China. Those brave people are in grave danger.
God bless these children, Amen
This is still happening. I subbed as a First Communion catechist during the past religious ed year. I almost cried at the innocence of the children in my class. Even at my teen Confirmation students. God is at work in each of us, no matter the circumstance. God is beyond all praising! Thank you, Lord, for my Catholic Faith.
Thank you
Wow, that's awesome! I used to attend a Chinese parochial school between Stockton & Clay Street in Chinatown when I was a kid wearing the parochial school uniform with a white dress shirt, red sweater & corduroy pants. It was called St Mary's Chinese Mission School & there was a small chapel below called the Holy Family Chruch run by the Paulist Fathers in the 1950s.🙏🙏

Absolutely beautiful! ❤️🔥🙏✝️
Such beautiful children n so angelic . Our Lord must be so proud of them 💕
Thank you for sharing this. Pax Christi!

I attended a catholic primary school, the school was just right next to the church.every day at 12.00 pm we would pray angelous .
Nineteen Thirty Six
Praise the Lord 🙏
God be with us
Awesome. Pure reverence.
💒💒💒 Deo gratias.
Wonderful example of education and discipline. Bring bck the order in the classroom and teachers ar doing the education function, not the union.
How sweet is that!❤
So much reverence, unlike the novus ordo, 😢
Well, thankfully, the Lord Jesus also hears the prayers of us novus ordo peasants!
@@GBCompton well, I still go to the novus ordo, I guess I’m a peasant! But there is a big difference! 😊
God bless all the children in the world.
So lovely Choir ! Reminded me of beautiful traditional Latin Mass before Vaticano 2 years.
Deo gratias
So Beautiful.

Cheers from lake Titicaca Peru
So precious! Saints of the future!
I wonder if these children and their children are still Catholics today? Beautiful!
Deo Gratias🙏
This Mass could be found in every country where Catholics lived...And other Catholics would know where the Mass was.
So lovely...❤

CongrTulations, me he quedado sin palabras
❤❤❤
So beautiful !!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful film.
I love the Chinese children's before❤❤
Please pray for the city of my birth St. Francis/San Francisco California. It's become very blasphemous.
Simply beatiful❤
How much evil must children still face in this world? Their innocence is so beautiful to behold! Has humanity lost all compassion?
What a bunch of cuties
❤❤❤❤❤
The kids left out " one nation under God, individual with liberty and justice for all
its pretty obvious tlm is the superior mass not even a question at this point..
❤❤❤❤❤Lovely❤
Lovely ❤
I love it ❤❤❤❤
Oh, my Word. Lovely. Thank you so much. ❤
Very moving.
Interesting hand position during pledge of allegiance. I was brought up to believe only German people did that during those years.
This was the standard way to pledge allegiance in many Western nations, including the United States. Hand stretched out and palm upward.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany they inverted the palm to face downward and pledged to Hitler.
In response the people of the United States started placing their hands over their hearts. It has been that way ever since.
I love being Catholic❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Very awesome, thanks for sharing this precious video clip. God bless you and yours!!!
Could you tell me where you found the archival footage, and if there’s a larger body of materials regarding this history :)? Thanks a lot! 🙏
Very. Cool. ❤
🙏🙏🙏❤️🕊️👼👼👼
Cute, trouble spelling cow
You would think, from the anti-Catholic media, that we made them all dress Western and speak English at all times. That last part was meant to he funny, because they are singing Katin hymns, but they are wearing native Chinese outfits and probably could speak Chinese when not in class. I don’t know if there were various dialects, though. Maybe they know those as people in Europe seem to know a number of languages of nations around them-and English.
7:10 so cute! ❤ 😊
People have lost. There reverence for the holy Eucharist
Silence in church they theyact like there in a movie theatre
almost trample the priest at the end of mass to get out of church without taking a few moments to embrace the graces or tEucharist they just received
Wonderful to see.
My uncle was a missionary in China in the Canton region before WW II. He was the pastor at Old St. Mary's during the 50s.
Bravo kids...God bless you All...
