WDTPRS Septuagesima Sunday: strength in time of oppression
In the traditional Roman calendar this Sunday is called Septuagesima, Latin for the “Seventieth” day before Easter. This number is more symbolic than arithmetical.

WDTPRS 5th Ordinary Sunday: Of soldiers and families, obedience and duty, discipline and inequality
This Sunday’s Collect is in the pre-Conciliar Missal for the 5th Sunday after Epiphany. Same time of year! I wonder if Fr. Bugnini’s experts may not have run out of glue that day.
Our prayer presents imagery of a family and, … Continue reading

Priest who refused to “Say The Black” loses his parish
Holy Church tells priests that they have to “Say The Black and Do The Red”. We are to obey the rubrics of liturgical worship and stick to the texts. Priests cannot – bishops cannot – on their own authority change … Continue reading

WDTPRS 4th Sunday after Epiphany: YOU are a weary foot soldier of the Church Militant
This Collect sometimes winds up at the end of the liturgical year, depending on when Easter, and therefore Pentecost, falls. This year, because Easter is a little later, we have it before Septuagesima.
COLLECT (1962MR):
Deus, qui nos in tantis periculis constitutos
pro … Continue reading

COLLECT 3rd Sunday after Epiphany: shelter from the attacks of Hell
Today’s Collect was in the ancient Veronese and Gelasian Sacramentaries, and so it represents the best of the liturgical tradition of the early Church in Rome, formed out of the cultural, intellectual, spiritual milieu of the era.
It survived the scissors … Continue reading

Collect 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time
Some less than doctrinally-minded Christians are under the false impression that Catholics think we can “earn” our way to heaven by our own good works, as if our good works had their own merit apart from God.
Catholics believe that true … Continue reading
