30 August: Bl. Ildefonso Schuster

The late great liturgist and holy Card. Archbp. of Milan, Bl. Ildefonso Schuster, whom I often quote, died on 30 August 1954.  Future Pope Roncalli .   His tomb is in the Duomo of Milan.  It was opened in 1985 as part of his process for beatification and his remains were found to be intact.  His feast, where it is celebrated, is on 31 August.

Let us pray to Bl. Ildefonso for intercession and Heaven’s defense of the Traditional ROMAN RITE, of which he was such a great expert and teacher.

BTW… the miracle for Bp. Ildefonso’s cause was the curing of glaucoma.

Perhaps if you or one of your loved ones has vision problems, you could pray to him.   If not, pray to him anyway for curing the blindness of the enemies of the Roman Rite and anyone who upholds the least aspect of Taurina cacata.

    A neat thought it is to know the college of Cardinals had three Blessed’s all living the same time. Schuster, Stepinac and VonGalen!

    May they all intercede for the Church and the world today.
