“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.”

That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
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.

Father,
These are truly magnificent photos. I wish that all
First Communion ceremonies around the world were
this beautiful.
In the traditionalist parish that I attended when
I first converted First Communion was usually
administered on Corpus Christi. The children
scattered the rose petals along the road for
the monstrance after Mass. It was thoroughly moving.
Kneeling and on the tongue! It’s hard to find the norm being used these days.
What beauty! Are these angels on Earth or men in Heaven?
Lovely picture! And what cool priests!
I understand this parish offers the TLM. Fabulous! And look how young those devout priests are!!!! Tom
The age of those priests appears to be about 28. This bodes well for the future.
The Church has been receiving wonderful good men in recent years.
These priests have been an enormous blessing to the Diocese of Madison! Fr. Miguel Galvez, Fr. Jared Hood, Fr. John Del Priore (l to r) along with Fr. Faustino Ruiz live in community, and assist each other in administering 4 parishes in our Diocese. I don’t know how they manage the logistics, but they seem to be everywhere at once and no longer employ extraordinary ministers at Mass. (I sometimes wonder if some of them are capable of bi-location). The TLM is offered at 3 of their 4 parishes and they celebrate the Novus Ordo with tremendous reverence and dignity.
Best of all, two new priests of their Society will be ordained here on July 31st! I hope I won’t sound greedy if I say I hope they will be asked to stay and serve here in our Diocese.
Sorry to rattle on, but when I saw this picture I couldn’t resist the chance to brag a little about our beloved priests!
That is so right. Mother with her head covered. Son on bended knee with his hands in prayer and ready to receive the King of Kings on the tongue. As for the priests, these men if they continue like this will be responsible for many seminarians I’m sure.
Praise the Lord.
God bless that child (those children) receiving his (their) First Holy Communion.
The day of one’s First Holy Communion is the happiest day of anyone’s life this side of Heaven.
What a lovely difference from the photo-op feelgood First Communion we attended on Sunday. The pastor of the parish didn’t even know how to distribute the Eucharist in an orderly fashion (church is semi-circle, stadium style, with lots of cut-ins that produce a very disorganized path of procession, etc)
I remember thinking as I received for the first time, as an adult re-vert, “I could die now, and be happy.” It is a blessing.
