Last week, Catholic Arena were among the first to report on the complete ban on the Traditional Latin Mass in Costa Rica.
Today, those Traditional Catholics who were shut out from their right to the Latin Mass have gathered at the residence of their Apostolic Nuncio to pray for mercy and for its return. Carrying photographs of Pope Francis and the Vatican flag, they knelt and prayed the Rosary as they begged their powerful clerics to exercise kindness in allowing the Latin Mass to return.
Their Facebook page stated:
We want to reiterate that tomorrow's event IS NOT A PROTEST, it is a day of prayer or public ′′ vigil ′′ that we will make Costa Ricans faithful in absolute communion visible with Pope Francis and our Bishops, on the basis of Canon 212 § 3:
They have the right, and sometimes even the duty, on their own knowledge, competence and prestige, to express to the holy pastors their opinion about what belongs to the good of the Church and to manifest to others faithful, saving always integrity of faith and customs, reverence toward Pastors, and given the common usefulness and dignity of the people.

Hopefully the Nuncio can return to Rome with a message that relays their faith and desire for mercy.
Nothing will change till we value human life, from conception to natural death.
