“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.”
- Fulton Sheen

"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.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our associate preached on “Bringing an Era to and end”. The points I remember best are that we need to look at ourselves in these days and get rid of all that is disordered within us for conversion. He made a heart felt plea to go to confession.
He also mentioned prophesies for our times by
the marian apparition of Our Lady of Good Success.
He urged us to pray, remain faithful, and to trust in the Lord.
Our pastor spoke about the evils of socialism (envy), and unbridled capitalism (greed). He quoted Pope Leo XIII. Pretty cool for a NO Mass.
We had the fifth in a series of sermons I have been enjoying very much, about Dante’s Inferno. This one was about the second circle of hell, Paolo and Francesca, and difference between love and lust.

, by Paul Pearson
Former pastor back in town.
Mentioned that in his last apostolate (Mauritius) the hospitals don’t have single rooms, so the Hindus and the other non-Christians see Christians kissing the cross. These same ( the unbaptized) persons then embrace the cross which is brought by the chaplain to the hospital.
Our priest spoke about Purgatory. He talked about what it is and what it is for, and the Biblical basis for our belief in it. He also corrected a common misconception: “Didn’t Vatican II get rid of Purgatory?” Very good sermon.
At the SSPX chapel at Woippy, near Metz, France, the sermon was on the subject of reparation. The chief point was that when you go to confession, God forgives you. But this does not relieve you of the obligation to make reparation, which can be done in this life or in purgatory. You can also make reparation for the sins of others, which is an act of Christian charity.
Sorry to say our sermon was a meaningless jumble of platitudes. The priest has difficulties with his diction so a lot of what he says is lost.
What his message was I have no idea. It’s like this every Sunday.
The NO Mass was said as I suppose all NO Masses are said; a rather protestant service.
Before preaching on the readings, Father related a situation he had recently where someone had requested a gravesite service for someone that had died but turned down the opportunity to have a funeral Mass said. He talked about how many of us will have to be purified as a result of the temporal punishment due for our sins and how the most effective way to help those in Purgatory is to have masses said for them. The funeral Mass is not about remembering the deceased it is for their benefit to help them get to heaven.
On the readings he spoke about how “fear of the Lord” is not servile fear of punishment but is not wanting to offend God because we love him.
Amen – I was there! We (Mankind) weren’t listening, so Jesus sent his Mother! Besides Quito, he also mentioned LaSalette, Fatima and Akita. We need to become willing to give our lives for Jesus.
