       Yes, we're back with weekly editions. Though we are cash strapped, we received enough to keep publishing at least for now. We thank those who have donated, and ask for those who have not offered to help, if you could click the box to the right and find it in your hearts to give from your heart. Every little bit helps and our funds are severely low. This becomes all the more critical with Cyndi still under home hospice care, having her good days and bad days while willingly suffering for souls. Because there are so many souls to be saved, my bride has encouraged me to continue this apostolate of informing the faithful of what true Catholicism is and why all must flee the false church of Vatican 2 and beware of the New World Order - Novus Ordo Seculorum. Hopefully, this Holy Family Week edition will help as we focus on striving to be holy while being in the world, but not of it. In this age of 24-7 technology, it seems most of us find excuses for not having enough time to devote to prayer. One of the best barometers is to gage what Jesus, Mary and Joseph would watch, text, talk, snap, listen to, or tweet with you. If they would be embarrassed in any way, then you should be as well. Yes, we must utilize these media tools for good, but we must also take care that they don't consume us. Twitter can be addictive and I have to take great care that I don't spend as much time as I have on it, even though it is a wonderful vehicle for converting souls by getting the truth out there. Moderation is the watchword.

        We know from Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers, Doctors, Saints, and Popes of what God says, but when we hear His voice again through the words of the Church-approved Revelations and Prophesies of St. Bridget of Sweden, we get a better perspective of why lukewarmness or just getting by won't help us at Judgement time. It's a reminder that we all had better toe the line and realize how Americanism and Modernism permeate our every waking hour and how much God despises these heresies. He tells the bride just how much, and reveals to her what He expects. Are we living up to His expectations? We better be. That's why we've resumed providing the chapters below from Book Four with Chapters Fifty-Nine through Sixty-Three. They may be short, but they pack a powerful punch. So do the sermons we provide for each day, courtesy of Gerry Keveaney of Traditional Catholic Sermons.

        This week we also celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord on Monday, Octave Day of the Epiphany when St. John the Baptist, in all humility, baptized Christ in the Jordan for Jesus was manifesting His human nature though John knew of His divine nature. Of course, neither Our Lord, Mary, Joseph, the Baptist, St. Hilary of Poitiers, St. Paul the Hermit, Pope St. Marcellus I, St. Anthony the Abbot, or Sts. Peter and Paul and all the saints ever publicized that they were humble. Grace makes one humble by realizing one can do nothing without God. This may, of course, contradict what you've heard from the current occupant in Rome, who relishes his reputation as the "humble one". Don't believe it. The devil deceives and he's done a good job of getting a vast majority to "believe lying" (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:10).

        There's a way to offset the evil by imploring the help of Our Lady as we complete the Nine-Day Novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor this week, capping it with a fascinating account by Dr. Marian Therese Horvat. Saturday marks the beginning of the Chair of Unity Octave Week as we pray the eclipse of the True Church will end and the Light will erase the darkness that has covered the globe due to the Great Apostasy, which became so evident with Vatican 2, and one day we will have a true Pope once again...all in God's time. We bring you a reflection for the feast of the Chair of Peter in Rome by the renowned and venerable Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger, who, considering what he has left us in his masterful tome of The Liturgical Year, could be considered a prophet. Let us all strive to emulate the Holy Family and this world will be a better place as we work to end up in a far, far better Place where we will find forever the peace and serenity the Holy Family emulates.

How fitting that the first feast after Epiphany honors the Holy Family on the very Octave Day of the Epiphany this year. For throughout the centuries the greatest model to emulate is the Son of God, then His Immaculate Mother Mary and finally the cooperator of all that God deigned, holy St. Joseph, Patron of the universal Church which his foster Son established upon this earth several years after Joseph was rewarded with eternal life. Each of this triumverate melded into the perfect family to set the example of how man can live in harmony. Unfortunately, man didn't follow the perfect formula because of his own fallen human nature and sinful ways. What we have today is ...More

Novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Day Six

We begin the new year with the Haydock Commentary for Holy Family Sunday provided by John Gregory. For this First Sunday after Epiphany, and still Within the Octave, the focus is on the love of God and God's love for us shown so beautifully in the fifth Joyful Mystery of the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple. Here we see the obedience He gave to His earthly parents in exhibiting the kind of humility expected of each of His children in obedience to God and the rightful superiors God places in our care asking us to have charity in our hearts as we can see from St. Paul's epistle in bearing with one another in love for charity is the paramount virtue and these virtues are exalted in both Epistle and Gospel in And He was subject to them


Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph's Minor Seminary in Rathdrum, Idaho at the City of Mary presents a 15 minute sermon on how we can better shield the family from the occasion of sin as Father encourages consecrating the family to the Sacred Heart for the family is the keystone to society. If we look at the world today we can see that the family unit has been sabotaged through all the technology available today and we need to curb such influences to protect the sanctity of the home and the indissolubility of Catholic marriage. It is a war today against the forces of evil which needed to dumb down and chip away until souls were numb to what offends God, a trick the devil is wont to do. While a surprisingly amount of those in the CONciLIAR church realize this, they refuse to leave and return to the true tenets of Catholicism because that would mean giving up the very things they have grown comfortable with, the very things that have served to destroy the family unit. Father explains in his sermon Let Our Families Be Like The Holy Family

Novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Day Seven

How fitting that the first feast after Epiphany honors the Holy Family. Dr. Thomas Droleskey explains that throughout the centuries the greatest model to emulate is the Son of God, then His Immaculate Mother Mary and finally the cooperator of all God deigned, holy St. Joseph, universal patron of the Church his foster Son established upon this earth several years after Joseph was rewarded with eternal life. Each of this triumverate melded into the perfect family to set the example of how man can live in harmony. Unfortunately, man didn't follow the perfect formula because of his own fallen human nature and sinful ways. What we have today is the antithesis of the Holy Family with abortion, divorce and adultery the norm as satan has twisted the natural law to even sink to the depths of same-sex marriage being accepted as normal. From Nazareth We Come, In Nazareth We Must Live


In Chapter Fifty-Nine of Book Four of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, Our Lord Jesus Christ confides to the bride how the three duties belong soley to a priest of God. The first duty is to consecrate the Body and Blood of Christ, Soul and Divinity at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as set down in the Apostolic, Canonical Latin Mass to be said in perpetuity. The second duty is to have purity of body and spirit, taking the Vow of Chastity. The third duty is to care for his congregation no matter how many souls he reaches. Our Lord also tells her of the importance to a priest of the book and holy oil for a true priest is an angel of the Lord, which, is actually greater than that of an angel, so prestigious before Heaven is a good and true priest. Duties of the Priesthood.

After having persecuted the Church during the first centuries, the Christian, but at the same time heretical emperors, continued their attacks by supporting Arianism which denied the divinity of Christ. In the season after Epiphany, when Jesus affirms His divinity by His teaching and miracles, the first saint whom the Church presents to us is one of the more intrepid defenders of this fundamental dogma of Christianity. St. Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers in 352 (Communion) endowed with great spiritual and supernatural talent, for, "the Lord has filled him with the spirit of wisdom and intelligence" (Introit), fought with his pen and his ...More

Novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Day Eight

This is the first Doctor of the Church in the calendar year. This holy Bishop and Doctor of the Church Saint Hilary of Poitiers was another from the fourth century who, like the three great Doctors who preceded him (St. Athanasius, St. Ephrem and St. Cyril of Jerusalem), stood by the axiom: One cannot serve God by employing the philosophy that one should 'go along to get along.' That false belief is, sadly, something so prevalent in today's society of lemmings. Unlike the one whose name sounds so similar, there are no similarities to the character of St. Hilary with Hillary Clinton. The former is a saint, the latter...well, you fill in the blanks, but keep it clean. Back to the true Hilary. He was both greatly persecuted by the Arians and ostracized by many within the Church because of false information. Hmm, sound familiar? Every Traditional Catholic can relate to that. This first Doctor, of what is today France - eldest Daughter of the Church - was known for his great labors in the fields of God from Gaul to Ilyria. Born the same year as his colleague Doctor and Bishop of Jerusalem St. Cyril, he labored tirelessly for the True Faith and is appropriately known as the Laborer for God.


In Chapter Sixty of Book Four of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, she expresses to God her innermost feelings. We have heard what Our Lord expects of His priests, what Our Lady has imparted to the bride. Now it is Bridget's turn to confide in Jesus Christ Himself, imploring Him to consider how she feels as a wounded patient seeking the medical expertise she needs; as a troubled soul seeking comfort from One Who alone can give it; and as a poor person who turns to the only One Who can give here the riches of everlasting life. This is her heartfelt prayer for she, like everyone of us, in no way feels secure because of Original Sin and turns to God to keep her on the right path. What only God can provide.

While we honor Our Lady of Prompt Succor today, it is the actual feast of Saint Paul the Hermit, father of hermits, who had St. Jerome for his historian. Having become an orphan at the age of fifteen, he gave up his possessions and retired into a desert where a flourishing palm-tree, a symbol of is virtues (Introit) provided him with food and clothing. He meditated in solitude on the science of sciences which is to know Jesus Christ (Epistle) and the Father Whom Christ reveals to the ...More

Novena to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Day Nine

From time to time we like to highlight excellent features that tie in with the feast days and we're pleased to present Dr. Marian Therese Horvat's piece on the origins of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. As many know, at one time Dr. Horvat wrote regularly for this publication before she and Atila established their own site at Tradition in Action. Marian traces the roots to the Battle of New Orleans and the miraculous events that surrounded a fire at the Ursuline Convent in the French Quarters of the Big Easy. Our Lady's intercession also played a role in the city not falling into England's hands as the Bishop of New Orleans, like St. Pius V did regarding Lepanto, urged the faithful to pray to the Blessed Mother to come to their prompt help, hence prompt succor. Just what happened and what we should all ask Our Lady to intercede for in times of chastisement and natural disasters is the crux of Marian's piece titled Our Lady of Prompt Succor, a Patroness for Americans


In Chapter Sixty-One of Book Four of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, we see how the devil attempted to deceive the bride and try to plant doubt as to the True Presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the altar. The devil does this to many and it is an excellent lesson on realizing that when we are tempted, often in the most sublime times, such as at Holy Mass, when we turn back to God at that moment, we drive the devil away. God shows to Bridget and the devil how He is truly present at each true Mass, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity from the Consecration on in true Masses. As an angel of the Lord comforts her not to fear, Christ forces the devil to tell her the truth. Lucifer has no choice but to fess up. Then Our Lord reveals to her how the Body of Christ is received by the wicked as well as the good as he lays out the proper remedy in temptations regarding His True Presence. Confected and Convinced.

Today is the feast of Pope Saint Marcellus who, as Supreme head of the Church (Introit), Gradual) at the last persecutions of the Roman emperors, bore witness to the divinity of Christ by losing his life, for His sake: (Gospel). The holy widow Lucina ...More

In Chapter Sixty-Two of Book Four of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, the bride is given to hear the Holy Ghost speak as we see the oneness of the Triune Divinity. He chides a priest who is burying a person who died in patient suffering and will be afforded God's mercy, but not the priest. We see how Christ despises the priest who does not take his vocation seriously, who seeks to please man rather than God, who seeks worldly pleasures and spends less time in his own spiritual life, not realizing the seven spiritual plagues and seven bodily ones that will befall any priest or false priest who does not live as he should and for the scandal he gives to man and God. It is an excellent lesson for all to realize that with all the aberrations in the CONciLIAR church, they will have much to answer for since, as the Lord says He enters these men as a Bridegroom, but leaves as their future Judge. Woe to Wicked Priests.

In Chapter Sixty-Three of Book Four of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, the old devil is back to his nasty ways in trying to persuade the bride through specious arguments that Jesus is not truly present in the bread. Again, Christ comes to corner him, deride him with facts that even satan must admit. Yes, the dark one is forced to tell the truth as Our Lord speaks of the assurance and beneficial instruction for the welfare of St. Bridget understanding how there can be no doubt concerning His glorious body in the sacrament. Christ again reinforces that those who receive unworthily will have hell to pay for He will return at judgment time to render their consequences, but those who worthily eat His Body and Drink His Blood will have life everlasting as He promised in St. John 6: 55 and as the priest prays in the Perceptio Corporis prayer at Holy Mass between the Agnus Dei and Domine, non sum dignus. The devil loses everytime.

Also, to begin Church Unity Octave Week, listen to sermon by Bishop Daniel Dolan for feast of St. Peter's Chair at Rome

On this first day of the Church Unity Octave, we bring you the wisdom of the venerable renowned Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger. We are in that season of the ecclesiastical year which is devoted to honoring the Incarnation and Birth of the Son of God, and the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary: it behooves us to remember, especially on this present Feast, that it is to the See of St. Peter that we owe the preservation of these dogmas, which are the very basis of our holy religion. Our Holy Mother Church, centered in Rome, not only taught them to us when She sent us the saintly missionaries who evangelized our countries; but, moreover, when heresy attempted to throw its mists and clouds over these high Mysteries, it was Rome that secured the triumph for truth by Her sovereign decisions. At Ephesus, when Nestorius was condemned, and the dogma which he assailed was solemnly proclaimed, that is, that the Divine Nature and the Human Nature which are in Christ make but one Person, and that Mary is consequently the true Mother of God, the Fathers of that General Council thus spoke: Church Unity Octave


Every year, from the feast of St Peter's Chair at Rome on January 18 to the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul on January 25, we observe a special week of prayer for the conversion of non-Catholics to the Faith. As we pray in the Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: "Many indeed have never known Thee; many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart." Thus we pray for the conversion of pagans and infidels and see how far the CONciLIAR hierarchy has fallen. Compare two Germans: Consider what St. Bonfiface did in convincing pagans they were barking up the wrong tree, while 12 centuries later abdicator Fr. Josef Ratzinger and the man he enabled Mr. Bergoglio the unFrancis apostate have no problem allowing pagans to anoint them! Puhlease. Pray for these reprobates and the rest of the CONciLIAR apostates that they will be converted and realize there is only one true Faith with the fruits and what only Christ can offer through the only true Church He established on earth. Pray for the collapse of the counterfeit church of conciliarism and the scandalous acts committed over the past 55 years such as Wojtyla's celebrating snake worshippers or topless women and the many aberrations of past antipopes since the death of Pope Pius XII. See Day One of Church Unity Octave

To fortify why the CONciLIAR church is the false church, see key Papal Decrees that preceded it in pre-Vatican Two times by true Popes who solidly condemned the V2 false 'popes' who have spit in Heaven's Face. God will not be mocked. See for yourself what the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church has decreed:

  • Papal Coronation Oath Pope Agatho
  • Unam Sanctam Pope Boniface VIII
  • Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio Pope Paul IV
  • Quo Primum Pope St. Pius V
  • De Defectibus Pope St. Pius V
  • Satis Cognitum Pope Leo XIII
  • Apostolicae Curae Pope Leo XIII
  • Lamentabili Sane Pope St. Pius X
  • Pascendi Dominici Gregis Pope St. Pius X
  • Oath Against Modernism Pope St. Pius X
  • Mortalium Animos Pope Pius XI
  • Humani Generis Pope Pius XII
  • Sacramentum Ordinis Pope Pius XII

    My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee; and I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee.

I offer Thee the most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in tabernacles throughout the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended.

    When One Cannot physically Assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    For those who cannot be present for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we provide additional prayers that can be supplemented with the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and the PROPER OF THE DAY to enable you to better prepare yourself at home. Of course, this never replaces actually being there, but it is much better than attending the Novus Ordo services. Therefore we have gleaned from The Key of Heaven prayers to say at home. It is very comforting to know that the Holy Mass is offered for us even when we are not actually present. But to enjoy the benefits which it procures, we must by a SPIRITUAL COMMUNION become partakers of the altar from which we are temporarily banished. Here we provide prayers in preparation for fulfilling assistance in absentia in addition to the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and PROPER OF THE DAY. PRAYERS IN ABSENTIA

    Prayer Before the Crucifix

    Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst fix deep within my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds; having before my eyes the words which David in prophesy spoke concerning Thee, O Good Jesus: "They have pierced My hands and My feet; they have numbered all My bones."
