“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

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"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.

thanks be to God I found my Rosary minutes after I thought I’d lost in on a train – small beer I know but you gotta count your blessings.
On a much bigger note I had a wonderful Lent and Easter Octave (thank you once again Father for the lentcasts), and resolved a longstanding wound that was impairing my relationship with God.
I was received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. After a long time of praying and discerning, it is wonderful to be a Catholic. Laus Deo!
Good stuff! St. William of York in Stafford, VA (just south of USMC Base Quantico) now offers the daily NO Mass in Latin on Weds and Fridays at 6:30pm. Easy on/off Routes 1 & I-95 (exit 143A to Rt. 1 N) for commuters!
My son has had a very successful first year of Seminary, and is as happy as I have ever seen him. Please continue to pray for his vocation. He will be spending part of the summer on the El Camino de Santiago and at Fatima.
I will be officially moving to Jersey City, NJ next week, where not only will my commute to work will be shorter, but I will finally make the TLM my normal Sunday Mass.
This will also be the opportunity to make Juventutem Jersey City grow and will be the start of a long term goal my friends and I have of networking the scattered young adult trads of New Jersey and NYC.
I celebrate my 25th anniversary on June 13th. Will have a Solemn Mass of thanksgiving on June 11th. Thanks to our Lord and our Lady for the many graces though the years.
[Hurray!]
My husband and I are expecting our first child due to arrive on All Saints Day! :-D
The Fellowship of Blessed John Henry Newman (Ordinariate, Victoria, BC) welcomed David, a convert from Evangelical Protestantism, into the Church during the Great and Holy Vigil of Easter.
My eldest came home to visit for two weeks from his boarding school. He’s turning out to be such a nice young man. I’m so proud of him!
Expecting another little boy soon. It never ceases to be a wonder and a miracle!
God is with us even till the end of time. Yay!
Not small beer at all! I left my rosary ring clipped to the keys of a rental car when I returned the car in haste recently. Fortunately, Thrifty in San Diego has an excellent lost and found system!
My brother is alive! After 8 weeks of being mostly in critical condition, on life support and close to death several times, he survived a heart-valve surgery that he only had a 50-50 chance of surviving and a 75% chance of having complications from the surgery, he is now doing well! At one point they said he was awake, but not responsive. It was frightening. Now his only complaint is that he is terribly weak. Otherwise he had no other medical problems. He does have a few other non-medical challenges, but it’s really amazing. Thank you to everyone who prayed. p.s. During this time another brother had two blood clots go to his lungs. He survived (which the doctor said was incredible since they each went to a lung) and is back at work. It’s such a blessing!
Nothing exceptional perhaps, but I have recently taken the time to memorise the prayers of the Rosary in Latin. In private I now always say these prayers in Latin. I believe it has helped me, not least in emphasising the Communion of Saints, many of whom would have prayed in Latin also.
Secondly, I have finally bought Cardinal Sarah’s ‘God or nothing’! Our priest has also read it!
Lastly, I’ve just noticed on the ‘guardian’ website (I usually avoid) the headline: ‘Ex-Knights of Malta leader to defy papal order and attend succession meeting’. Could this be good news?
Yes, another young man is seriously thinking about priesthood.
Barring some catastrophe, I will be beginning my priestly formation for the Diocese of Providence (home to both the iPadre and Bishop Thomas Tobin). I will be taking classes at the local secular college as the Diocese has no major seminary. I will, however, live with my fellow seminarians at the [minor] Seminary of Our Lady of Providence.
We’re moving a long distance next month. We (finally) found a new home and our offer was accepted.
The best part – and we didn’t know this until after we made the offer – is the local parish is a 5 minute walk from the house AND offers the TLM on Sundays! I’m not sure why it isn’t listed in the various online directories, but what a pleasant surprise.
Thank you all for the prayers! I posted recently about my husband Patrick who has heart problems. He got important test results back today and they were very good! Praise God!
