About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

The priest’s traditional Vesting Prayers – Wherein Fr. Z rants
A while ago I ranted about wanting the “salt” back in the Holy Water. Of course I bless Holy Water every Sunday, and I use exorcised and blessed salt. What I mean by “salt” in this context, are the other … Continue reading

Here are my audio projects of the Way of the Cross. Remember… On 1st Fridays, please pray the Act of Reparation. GO TO CONFESSION! For priests, especially, try The Way Of The Cross For Priests from the Benedictines of Silverstream Priory. HERE. Would you consider … Continue reading
You can’t make this stuff up: eRosary. Wherein an annoyed Fr. Z rants.
UPDATE: I figured I needed to do more, after I read that. So, here is an old recording I made of a chaplet of the Most Holy Rosary using the Joyful Mysteries. I didn’t include the “Fatima Prayer” because there … Continue reading
ROME DAY 11: Butchers, Roman Rosary, and an Odd Dessert
Today’s Roman Sunrise 17:19, Sunset 18:33. The Ave Maria is fixed these days at 18:45. Yesterday was about as perfect a Sunday as one could desire. Not only was John Henry Newman canonized, but the weather was magnificent, everything one … Continue reading
ACTION ITEM: Priests in Rome, world to use Prayer of Exorcism (long St Michael Prayer) against diabolical influence in Vatican
UPDATE: I read the prayer this morning. It is a powerful prayer, to be sure. I hope other priests today will do the same, even if they are late to this post. Originally Published on: Sep 28, 2019 @ 01:06 I received … Continue reading
PODCAzT 177: Latin of the Last Rites in the Traditional Form
We’ll explore this time the Latin of the Last Rites in the Traditional form. There is enough evidence that Latin is more effective in our Rite than the vernacular, that the use of Latin, often, is warranted. It would be … Continue reading
PODCAzT 176: How to sing Table Prayers in Latin
Today I talk about prayer before and after meals. What inspired me is the recent arrival of beautiful little books – new – for singing the table prayers in Latin. They are from the Monastery of St. Benedict, in southern … Continue reading
PODCAzT 174 and PRAYERCAzT: The Latin of the Traditional Rite of Baptism of a Child
In this PODCAzT, which also serves as a PRAYERCAzT (my somewhat languishing project to provide Latin language help for men learning the TLM) we will hear the minimum amount of Latin required in the rite of Baptism of One Child … Continue reading
PRAYERCAzT / PODCAzT 172: Blessing Holy Water in Latin with the traditional Rituale Romanum
From a priest: Could you record for your priestly audience the correct pronunciation for the Holy Water blessing in Latin? Sure! I can do that. I will also include this in the What Does The Prayer Really Sound Like series, … Continue reading
PRAYERCAzT: What does the Latin Exorcism really sound like? FOR PRIESTS ONLY – UPDATED
UPDATE 17 April 2019: A while ago I had a request from an exorcist of a US diocese for a recording not only of Chapter 3, but also of Chapter 2. “Euge! Euge!”, quoth I, “It is, however, long. But … Continue reading

ASK FATHER: When to sing the Christmas Proclamation
From a reader… QUAERITUR: The Christmas Proclamation (from the Martyrology). I know it is sung prior to Midnight Mass in the OF. Does it fit in the Traditional Mass, or is it relegated to the hour of Prime? We are … Continue reading
The “Kalenda”, the solemn Christmas Proclamation – AUDIO
