In continuing this primer on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass we focus here on the sacrificial aspect. Contrary to the Vatican Two Modernists, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not the Lutheran-oriented "Eucharistic Celebration" that passes today as the wretched Novus Ordo. Therefore we have a duty as true Catholics to reject that "abomination of desolation" and return to the true Traditional Latin Mass. It is the canonical Apostolic Mass of all time and will always and ever be considered the true Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Sadly, that is something the progressive Hegelians refuse to recognize, having gone out of their way to strip their version of any sacrificial nature in the New "Mass." In truth, it was all done to please Protestants while greatly angering God because man dared to believe he had a better idea than the Divine. What was that Pope St. Pius V wrote in his infallible decree Quo Primum? Oh, yes, anyone who dares to alter what was set in stone and is to be said in perpetuity "will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul." The Sacrificial Aspect of the True Mass

When the venerable renowned Benedictine Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger wrote The Liturgical Year there was no feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for it was still considered merely the Octave Day of the Assumption, yet what he wrote for this day applies so well to the feast day established for the universal Church by His Holiness Pope Pius XII during the Second World War in 1942. Needless to say, in his heart the Prior of Solesmes Abbe Gueranger knew of the devotion to Mary's Most Pure Heart for His Holiness Pope Pius VI had already approved the feast for certain religious houses, most probably the Benedictines as well at that time in the early nineteenth century and he began his masterful work L'Annee Liturgique - The Liturgical Year in the mid-1800's. It is interesting to note that there is a movement afoot to beatify Gueranger. All fine and good when we finally have a true Catholic Pope again - only through God's providence - but be assured such a move by the Modernists of Vatican II will not happen because to do so would be admitting by Dom Prosper's body of work that Vatican II and all that has followed is total heresy. For the renowned Abbot's words, see The Spotless Virgin Queen of Heaven

St. Philip Benizi was born in Florence on the feast of the Assumption in 1233. He was one of the first to profess the religious life as a Servite, and in time became general of the Order. With his brethren he preached in many countries of Europe, and journeyed even into western Asia to spread the Christian faith. In his humility he refused honors and even the Papacy, which was offered him by the cardinals assembled ...More

In the Gospel of St. John, the Apostle Bartholomew is not mentioned among the Apostles, but it is stated that Philip and Nathaniel came to Jesus, and that Our Lord said of Nathaniel, "the Israelite in whom was no guile." In the list of the apostles in the other Gospels, Nathaniel is not mentioned, but after Philip is placed Bartholomew. The Redeemer chose all the apostles at once, and formed them from the beginning into a hierarchial group with St. Peter at their head, in order to show us that

Born into royalty on April 25, 1214 in Poissy, France, Saint Louis was crowned King of France in 1226 on the death of his father King Louis VIII. He had been raised in a staunch Catholic atmosphere by his mother Blanche of Castile, who became regent upon her husband's death until her son reached adulthood. The youthful Louis, one of the youngest rulers in French history, weaned on his faith by his mother exemplified his Catholicity throughout his life.
It served him well in his long reign which was frought with great crisis including fending off those who would usurp his throne such as Thibault of Champagne. At the age of 20, Louis married the daughter of ...More

John Gregory continues his meditation on the Sorrowful Mysteries with the ninth of the fifteen mysteries. The time continuum between the Praetorium where the Jews screeched 'Crucify Him!', and the moment He arrived at the summit of Calvary could well have taken thirty minutes to an hour and a half. In this time, we have in the Via Crucis, several lessons we can garner from this interval, including His reunion with His Sorrowful Mother, the aid of Simon of Cyrene, the gentle charity of Veronica, the weeping of the women of Jerusalem, and three cruel falls along the way; each more crushing and exhausting. Despite all this, the question arises: do we have the spiritual stamina to keep up with Him? John lays it out in The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
  We urge you to click the Rosary banner below for the Ninth Saturday in the 15-week Rosary Crusade organized by Bishop Robert McKenna, O.P. to do our part for the salvation of souls by bringing souls to the true Catholic Faith and Sacraments, for the welfare of our country, and for our own special intentions as we all strive for holiness in our role as members of the Church Militant. On this Ninth Saturday of the Fifteen Week Rosary Crusade, we focus on the Fourth Sorrowful Mystery with the focus on Love of the Cross.
