On Friday 6 July in the Vatican Basilica there is observed the Feast of all the Holy Roman Pontiffs…. Omnium Sanctorum Romanorum Pontificum. This sounds rather like… well….
In the newer calendar it will be the feast of St. Maria Goretti, whose shrine is in Nettuno, my neighboring diocese. Also, according to the Martyrologium Romanum Friday is the anniversary of the death of St. Thomas More. In the older, traditional calendar it is an open day without a particular Mass or saint.
Before I charge off to say Mass on Friday I will check this entry and bring your intentions with me to the altar.
It is something I can do to show my thanks to those who participate and who have been materially helpful.
I am not sure at what hour I will say Mass on Friday. I will wait for my usual server who has a morning errand. Happily, Mass is always exactly on time in the Sabine Chapel: it is scheduled to start when I bow to the Cross, put my biretta on, and head to the altar.
I will close comments when I go to the chapel on Friday.

Father – a quick prayer for John G. (me) in Scranton, PA would be most welcome. Busy day tomorrow and can’t make Mass. God bless and thanks for all you do!
Dear Father,
Please pray for my vocation, ut videam. I’m not sure, but it seems the Lord is calling me to the priesthood.
Thanks for all, Father. May the Lord bless you.

Dear Father,
Please pray for my fiancée and I as we enter the Sacrament of Matrimony next month (August 18th).

Father,
Please pray for our new FSSP apostolate in Fort Collins, CO. I’ve recently learned that we’re going to have a traditional Mass once a month for a trial period of year with an FSSP priest who will come up from Littleton. If we have the attendance and collections to support an independent apostolate, we will have our own priests and chapel. Please pray that we’ll be able to find a temporary place for this monthly Mass and for our success over the next year.
Thanks!
Father, please pray for me (and all who ardently desire the will of God in this) that I should obtain all necessary graces to live in the virtue of celibacy.

Father,
If you could bring, along with all the eminently worthy intentions, a prayer for my youngest boy (Davy, 8) who is undergoing a new, experimental-yet-promising treatment for autism…I’d be inexpressively grateful. In any event, Father, you and your intentions are always in my prayers.
AMDG,

Pray for my MIL Carol S. who is undergoing emergency surgery. Thank you.
Father,
Please remember all the holy priests, who have been openly critisized by their own and their Bishops for saying the Traditional Mass. Many a holy priest has suffered with the faithful in the catacombs of the 20th and 21st centuries. I would especially ask you to remember Msgr. Belluomini and Fr. Sotelo who have greatly served the faithful in the diocese of Fresno.
Father,
Please remember my wife. She has a most important exam on 1 August.
