“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I sent the Holy Father an email. There are days when I just want to give up when I see and hear of some of the things going on in the Church. And then I remember who is leading the Catholic Church and it fills me with hope.
God Bless Benedict XVI
This is a great idea! And many thanks to you and to “H. Herm.” for your thoughtful support of the Holy Father.
I say the following prayer every day for the Holy Father. It was distributed by the FSSP first when John Paul II was pontiff and Benedict’s name inserted after his election. Following that I pray for his safety from enemies within and without, invoking St. Peter, Our Lady, Mother of the Church and St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church. After the Rosary I include the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for his intentions. The Holy Father needs all the prayers he can get these days – as does our Church.
Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon Thy servant, Benedict, our Supreme Pontiff, and direct him, according to Thy loving-kindness, in the ways of eternal salvation; that, of Thy gift, he may ever desire that which is pleasing unto Thee and may accomplish it with all his might. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
I’ll be sending an email.
For as long as I can remember, when praying the Rosary, I add three extra Hail Marys for the Holy Father, in imitation of Blessed Jacinta Marto of Fatima.
I’ll send an email to Papa Benedict, too. Thanks to His Hermeneuticalness for giving out the address!
Great reminder, irishgirl.
I’ll begin this ASAP. A very simple yet powerful means of intercession. Thanks!
Thank you, Father, for the reminder! I just sent a message of support to our Holy Father.
“three extra Hail Marys for the Holy Father, in imitation of Blessed Jacinta Marto of Fatima.”
Great idea, thank you!
Our schola director, yesterday on Passion Sunday, had us chant the “Oremus pro Pontifice” after communion. It is on (or around, depending on version) page 1866 of the Liber Usualis.
We have been chanting “Oremus pro Pontifice” every Sunday after the Offertory antiphon since Lent began.
Thanks, nazareth priest and Mariana! Glad to suggest it!
We ‘little people’ have to band together spiritually and help our Holy Father!
Sorry for the triple post-I emailed the Holy Father, THEN I emailed His Hermeneuticalness [a/k/a Fr. Tim Finigan] to thank him for giving us the Holy Father’s email address!
Does that sound too wordy? : )
Done. Probably I should make a habit of sending something short & supportive just to get it counted by someone in the office as a positive comment. =)
