“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

So lovely.
What beautiful things the Lord has created!
I love a cedar waxwing. They are so striking. I hope some day to check the Bohemian Waxwing off my life list. Thanks for the pics, Father.
I love the cedar waxwing. I need to learn how to attract more types of birds to my yard. Robins, mourning doves, goldfinches and sparrows (song, house and the occasional chipping sparrow) are the only visitors I seem to get. Once in a while I’ll see a Cardinal. I could do without the house sparrows.
He’s so magestic!
Beautiful picture of the cedar waxwing…the bird, that is!
A long time ago I saw one in a tree with a berry in its beak.
I believe that the Latin name for the Eastern Kingbird is Tyrannus Tyrannus. The Cedar Waxwing is Bombycilla Cedrorum.
Father, you should post the names only in Latin and let us try to figure out what bird it is.
Tyrannus tyrannus! Excellent name.
Love the picture of the wax-wing, gorgeous bird. They remind me of pale cardinals. I had the brief pleasure of seeing a few of these many years ago. We had a tree in the yard with some type of berries on it – yep, the cedar-waxwings must have gotten the intel and swoop – they came, they saw, they raided.
Thanks for sharing the pictures of Mr. Berry-Eater and the cute Kingbird.
Thanks for the laugh, Father! Thanks for the laugh. And just when I needed it too.
Luke: You are welcome.
