“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.
Simply amazing!!!!
Beautiful!!
We did this in our parish at the end of a 54 day novena Rosary. I was surprised at how strong the emotional impact was as we released the Rosary and sang Marian hymns.
Spiffy!
How moving this is. Especially the way the people clapped. God bless and help Italy and all.
Everyone else: Beautiful. Amazing. Awesome.
Me: I wonder how they assembled it without popping, and how do I make one…
Might have watched this more than once and passed on to a half dozen priests. Thank you for posting, this is so beautiful.
Loving the T-shirt, Father – is that available in your store?
Did not know that about Latin for ‘Rosary” is corona. I thought corona meant crown. Always something new to learn here!

Does anybody know why in the first place is covid-19 named corona?!?
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses with ‘crown’ shaped projections on it’s surface (not like a crown on the head, more like a solar crown) hence the latin ‘corona’ being used. Covid-19 is just a different strain of coronavirus, just like sars which caused the epidemic years ago.
How would you execute one of these? I realize these are helium-filled balloons: got that.
But how would you connect the balloons together in a coherent loop, that is, without having the balloons go all cattawompus relative to each other? If you tied the balloons together by wrapping string or fishing line around the little nubs, the string of balloons would definitely become all cattawompus. Crazy glue wouldn’t hold for long. And hot glue would pop most of the balloons as soon as applied. Maybe crazy glue AND fishing line? This is a head-scratcher.
This is so beautiful, the idea and the music also. It is quite moving, makes me cry. We need Mother Mary and she never lets us down, just as the Memorare states.
Marion, on You Tube there are instructions as to how to make balloon rosaries. I know because I tried to find this on You Tube so I could share it, but it was not there. I know a few people who would find this inspiring and I’m often thwarted at being able to forward these things. Must we all have Facebook or Twitter, etc., to do that? I’m trying to keep some folks encouraged, and if I knew how to find this in a way to forward it, it would be so great. Anyone have advice? I really need to get up to speed on these things. Thanks in advance if anyone can tell me how.
God bless Italy.

Meanwhile, in Texas, Bishop Strickland said earlier today:
“I plan to stand at the busiest intersection in our city [as people drive by] this evening with a deacon, vested in a cope & bless the people of God with the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Blessed Sacrament. I urge every priest to do the same in their city. Bring the LORD to His people!”
Go get ’em Bishop!
In reply to Bishop Strickland, a lady in Laredo…
[a voice from the peanut gallery exclaims: “Lady in Laredo? Semper, that sounds like the title of a country song.” “Nay, my urban-dwelling friend,” I replied, tossing him a copy of De Re Rustica. “You’re thinking of ‘Amarillo by Morning’ by the great George Strait.”]

Which recalls Psalm 132:
“I will not enter my house
or get into my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Meanwhile, the Republic of Texas, ably led by Gov. Abbott, is getting things done left and right. On March 10 the Governor paused briefly from his labors to tweet this:
“Happy birthday to living legend, Chuck Norris. He’s turning whatever age he wants to today.”
Don’t Mess with Texas.
