“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.”

"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.

Yes, I will pray for him. I am a member of the same diocese. Please keep us informed of his status.
St. John Vianney, pray for him!
St. John of Avila, pray for him!
Father Emil Kapaun, pray f0r him!
Our Lady, Mother of Priests, pray for him!
Yes, indeed. There is a priest here in California who has had such a procedure recently and the last I heard he was doing very well. I will pray that Fr. Escribano will be equally fortunate. We are so in need of good priests.
Yes, right now! (Madison is our diocese also.)
Done, and again in a bit.
Absolutely — done!
Done, and will continue to pray for him.
O Almighty and Eternal God, look upon the Face of Thy Christ, and for love of Him Who is the eternal High-priest, have pity on Thy priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop’s hands. Keep them close to Thee, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.
O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely and desolate priests; for Thy young priests; for Thy aged priests; for Thy sick priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in Purgatory.
But above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed or helped me and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly Fr. Pedro Escribano who is ill and will be going through surgery.
O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us; obtain for us many and holy priests. Amen.

Fr. Pedro’s doctors have successfully reached the brain tumor (6 hrs procedure, so far). Now, his surgeon is removing the tumor. Could be another 3-4 hours (total operation, 9-10 hrs which would be approx 7 or 8 central time). Please continue to pray for dear Fr. Pedro.
Sts Benedict and Scholastica, pray for him.
I am praying and will continue to do so.
There shall be prayers for him here!
Thankfully, Fr. Pedro is out of surgery and it has gone well.
Continuing to pray, now for an uneventful and speedy recovery.
Done!
Holy brothers and doctors Cosmas and Damian, with Saint Luke, hasten to the bedside of our brother, Pedro, a priest of the Lord, who stands in need of your ministrations and intercession. Present him by your prayers to Jesus Christ, our Divine Physician, asking Him to stretch out His healing hand to His servant in his moment of danger and need. May the Holy Virgin cast her mantle of motherly care about him, and may his own angel obtain from God the tender mercy that He loves to grant his faithful children. Amen.
Prayer to the Divine Physician
O good Jesus, Divine Physician and light of our darkened souls, may Thy suffering servant N. accept willingly this sickness which it has pleased Thee to lay upon them. May they confide all their pains to Thy Sacred Heart, and beg Thee to unite them with Thy bitter sufferings, and thus perfect them by making them Thine own.
Since they cannot render Thee the praise due to Thee because of the multitude of their sorrows and afflictions, we ask Thee to praise God the Father for all they suffer, with the same tribute of praise Thou didst offer Him when Thine agony on the Cross was at its height.
As Thou didst thank Him with all the power of Thine Adorable Soul, for all the sufferings and injustice which He willed Thou shouldst endure, we pray Thee, render unto Him thanks for this suffering soul’s trials as well. Offer their sufferings, both physical and spiritual, to Him, together with Thy most Holy pains, to His Eternal Honor and Glory. Amen.
Of course.
Yes.
