  
In this month of the Most Precious Blood, how fitting that we have one week where three who saw and touched His Sacred Blood, knew Christ personally and were always faithful to Him. Those we speak of are St. Mary Magdalen whose feast we celebrate on Tuesday, followed on Friday by the first of back-to-back Double Feasts of the Second Class, first the first Apostle to die for Jesus - St. James the Greater, brother of St. John, and on Saturday the dear mother St. Anne, who instilled so many virtues in her immaculate daughter Mary in preparing her for what God had deigned.    Quite a lineup. And to enhance these feasts we are pleased to present, gratiously provided by Traditional Catholic Sermons, sermons by Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI and His Excellency Bishop Daniel Dolan. Of course, throughout this week leading to Saturday we are observing the Nine Day Novena to St. Anne.   There is another saint who was close to Jesus and, thanks to the deceivers in the CONciLIAR church, they've tried to erase him from memory, but we can never forget good St. Christopher who is commemorated on the feast of St. James for Christopher carried the Christ Child across the treacherous rivers in Spain, often so many could visit the Shrine of St. James. The renowned Benedictine Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger shares a reflection on this patron saint of travelers.
In keeping with the life of Jesus theme this week, we present His Public Life and His Sermon on the Mount in our series on Catholicism Made Simple. In addition to enhance everyone's conscience as to Christ's holy will, we re-present the wondrous first chapter of  St. Bridget's Prophesies and Revelation approved by the Church and a vehicle for saving so many souls over the centuries. It is also an opportunity to feature another magnificent painting fashioned through the loving brush and eye of traditional Catholic artist Michelle R. Maher. Last edition we featured her beautiful copyrighted painting of Our Lady and the Christ Child and this edition St. Bridget of Sweden is featured. And of course,the feast of St. Anne coincides with the Fifth Saturday of the Rosary Crusade with the intention of the gift of true wisdom. We also present three special features on St. Anne by John Gregory, Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey, and the late Denise Michelle. And finally, on the two feria days this week we bring you two articles by Griff Ruby.
 We have lost a traditional Catholic Bishop with the death of Bishop Oliver Oravec. He passed away on July 10 in his homeland of Slovakia. His Excellency had been consecrated by Bishop Robert McKenna, O.P.. We were notified via Fr. James Kosek who wrote, "I am asking for prayers and Masses to be offered to God for the repose of his soul. He took good care of his flock while he was here, we should do all that we can to take care of his spiritual needs now that he can no longer do that for himself. I trust that you will do so. May God reward you for your charity and generosity in this world and in the next." We encourage your prayers for his soul and include here the Sequence Dies Irae from a Requiem High Mass as a reminder to all to keep before you at all times the Four Final Things - Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell and, like Bishop Oravec, have your lamps lit and be ready for we know not the day nor the hour. Réquiem ætérnam dona eí, Dómine. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiéscat in pace. Anima ejus, et animæ ómnium fidélium defunctórum, per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace. Amen.
Evidently not too many people have scrolled to this portion of the page over the last several editions for it seems to be the same faithful benefactors who give while so many others think we're made of money and don't need a cent.
 Oh, if only that were true. Thus, I must ask your indulgence in my continuing plea for your charity. As I indicated in the past editions,
I ask your prayers and support since we are definitely in the red in endeavoring to somehow pay our just debts on past medical expenses, not to mention my bride Cyndi's funeral costs, where the aggregate has now reached over $7,000. and climbing because of late charges. I ask your help in remembering Cyndi by donating whatever you can afford to help alleviate the debts she accrued through no fault of her own. I humbly ask you to open your heart to Cyndi's Angels.
Also keep in mind I'm trying to cover all bases while surviving without Cyndi's Social Security check of $515.00 each month that had helped cover the mortgage, escalating lot rent, and car, in addition to other necessary expenses.  Did I mention that I take not one cent of salary, nor have I over the past twenty years? Publishing the DailyCatholic has always been a labor of love for the love of Jesus, His Most Immaculate Mother Mary, and for perpetuating the Truths and Traditions of holy Mother Church from Peter through Pope Pius XII before the Great Apostasy eclipsed the True Church. I pledge to fight on in the trenches, minus a part of me - my soulmate - for I am confident God always has this traditional apostolate's back and I hope and pray you will, too. God bless and keep.

   To enhance each Sunday's Epistle and Gospel we present this special feature provided by John Gregory with the Haydock Commentary found at the bottom of each page of the Douay-Rheims Bible. We publish it here in conjunction with the Epistle and Gospel for the Sunday Mass, with the cogent comprehensive Catholic Commentary penned by Father George Leo Haydock. For the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost we are reminded that through baptism we die to sin and are crucified with Christ, confident in knowing that if we are faithful to Him He will always be faithful to us, and, as St. Mark's Gospel illustrates in the loaves and the fishes, there is no end to His mercy and promises. We will always have nourishment for the soul. If we die to sin we will always be nourished
 Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a ten-minute sermon given three years ago by Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph Seminary at the City of Mary in Rathdrum, Idaho. Father points out the theme for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost on the second account of the loaves and the fishes is about the abundance of God's treasures and how He bestows so much on us both spiritually and temporally, always providing for our needs. We should not worry since the birds of the air are taken care of and Christ emphasizes how much more important the soul is than the body. The graces are available to us if we but take advantage of assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and observe devotions, as well as silent prayer. It is truly amazing how many souls are lost considering God asks so little of them. Only on Judgment Day will all be revealed. If one is truthful they will say either they wished to profit by grace or they did not. It's that simple. Father explains in The Abundance of Grace is there for the taking

  In an article published in The Four Marks in 2012, Griff Ruby answered a frank question first asked by author Frank Sheed. Perhaps you might have thought it was about Frank aka Jorge Bergoglio? The above headline reminds us of words of the saint we celebrate tomorrow St. Mary Magdalen, when at the tomb in the Gospel of St. John 20: 13, she basically asked where they had taken Him. As the Magdalen gloriously discovered when she turned around, Christ was there in her midst. He is also still very much here today, but His Church remains hidden, in an eclipse, if you will, while a Judas, or should we say the satanic church of the Apocalypse mimics Him. Jesus has not withdrawn the protection of His Spirit from His Own Church, now eclipsed, but the protection of His Spirit is obviously not given to Jorge's "church" for that is not His Church. That should be all the more evident ever since Frank Sheed asked that question back in the late 60's. Griff breaks it down, even equating it to the film Changeling where the son was never found, but we know the Son is not lost, those who remain with Modernist Rome are the ones lost as Griff points out in
No, Frank, It's Not the Same Church
 With so many new readers, we've decided to go retro with the revelations to St. Bridget of Sweden, here so beautifully depicted in the painting by Michelle R. Maher. To see a larger copyrighted image click on the painting here. We begin with Book One once again and the first chapter in bringing you these meditations on the wondrous, Church-approved, plethora of prophesies revealed to St. Bridget of Sweden in the fourteenth century which, as you reflect on Our Lord's words to her, you will realize they hold even truer in our very time today. In an effort for each person to intensify their spiritual life and strive toward holiness, we present this inspiration to meditate on the contents of each short chapter and not be overwhelmed by too much. Thus we present Christ's First Words to His Bride

Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you an eleven-minute sermon given seven years ago during a boys' retreat for the feast of the holy bishop and martyr St. Apollinaris who was sent by St. Peter to the pagan side of  Italy where he was persecuted for 28 years as he strove to build God's Church. Just as food is nourishing to our body, so also prayer and knowing about the saints is nourishing to our souls. The bishop relates about how animals work together, so also the Church Militant and Church Triumphant need to work together to help not only souls on earth, but the Church Suffering. We need to be humble enough to be shown and then be humble enough to work together for the glory of God through cooperating with His graces. We need the true Church to guide us toward our heavenly goal as St. Apollinaris preached nearly 2000 years ago.
St. Apollinaris
  When Christ addressed the SRO crowd gathering on the mount to hear Him, few expected the message coming from His mouth for it was not to encourage overthrowing the Roman Empire, it was not how to deal with the Scribes and Pharisees, nor was it about how to increase one's coffers but rather a message that rang home to a few then and still rings true for a few in this day when materialism and naturalism have crowded out the nobility of being poor in spirit. So many misunderstand today that Christ was the first revolutionary and they mistakenly use Him as a model to advance their socialistic, Marxist causes. Heaven cannot be happy nor is the Almighty, along with the Church Triumphant pleased with His appointed ones who abuse their responsibilities by not carrying them out and misrepresenting the Eight Beatitudes Jesus gave in order that all might have the opportunity to achieve everlasting life. In order to do so, one must humiliate himself and be childlike in submission to his Creator in all things, including adherence to all His holy Church has taught and held sacred without veering one iota from Catholic truth. As St. Paul reminds us, only by standing firm and holding to tradition can one be assured of being blessed and inheriting the kingdom of Heaven so simply put in step twenty-six:
Blessed are they who...

 In an article published in The Four Marks in 2012, Griff Ruby addressed the mystery of the Catholic Hierarchy. Actually, as Griff shows, it really is no mystery when you break it down and weigh the arguments. There is only one Catholic hierarchy and it does not reside in Rome today, nor has it for the past 50 plus years. That would mean sedevacantists have been right all along in rejecting and not recognizing not only the Vatican 2 'popes', but also those 'cardinals', 'bishops', and 'priests' who give their allegiance to Modernist Rome. Griff points out that anti-sede arguments don't add up to a hill of beans when compared with the non-Catholic stance of those in visible power today which over 90% of today's Catholics-in-name follow. St. Augustine said that "Right is right even if no one is doing it, and wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it". Percentage-wise there are very few sedevacantists, but they're right and they have the Church Herself to back their claim, whereas those in the CONciLIAR church are as wrong as they can be and if they don't know that now, they will eventually. Isn't it better to know now?

He was the son of an officer who had served both in the Neapolitan and French armies. His mother died when he was a child, and he grew up absolutely neglected. When still a youth he became a soldier in the service of Venice and afterwards of Naples, until 1574, when his regiment was disbanded. While in the service he became a confirmed gambler, and in consequence of his losses at play was at times reduced to a condition of of destitution.
The kindness of a Franciscan friar induced him to apply for admission to that order, but he was refused. He then betook himself to Rome, where ...More

Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a nine-minute for the feast of St. James the Greater by Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI. Father shares how the Church places the Apostles on a higher level among the saints, for Christ set them to sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel, yet they also suffered from what we suffer from: a fallen human nature.  In fact, St. James and his brother St. John were even so bold as to go to Jesus to ask to sit on His right hand and left. It was St. James to whom Our Lady appeared at the Pilar and asked him to return to Jerusalem. He was the first to be martyred and in Heaven when Mary ascended into Heaven. His tomb became a major pilgrimage shrine in Spain because of so many miracles performed by his intercession as Father reminds us because so few accepted his preaching while he was alive and killed him. We can learn from James loyalty to Our Lord and perseverance, a grace we can all seek in keeping pure our souls through the true Faith as Father explains in his sermon on
St. James the Greater
You can't keep a good saint down! While today we celebrate the Double of the Second Class Feast of Saint James the Greater, lost in the shuffle is poor Saint Christopher whom the Vatican 2 Modernists didn't particularly take a hankering to and, with the feeble excuse that "there wasn't enough historical proof of his existence", eliminated him from the liturgical calendar just as he did dear Saint Philomena. In a way they weren't offended. After all, what else would you expect from impostors intent on destroying the holy faith? In an effort to keep St. Christopher visible for Catholics and to show his connection with St. James, we present here a brief summation of his virtues by the renowned Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger from The Liturgical Year The Christ-Bearer

Anne (Hebrew, Hannah, grace; also spelled Ann, Anne, Anna) is the traditional name of the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Anne. All our information concerning the names and lives of Sts. Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is derived from apocryphal literature, Though the earliest form of the latter, on which directly or indirectly the other two seem to be based, goes back to about A.D. 150, we can hardly accept as beyond doubt its various statements on its sole authority.
In the Orient the Protoevangelium had great authority and portions of it were read on the feasts of Mary by the Greeks, Syrians, Copts, and Arabians. In the Occident, however, it was rejected by the Fathers of the Church until its contents were incorporated by Jacobus de Voragine in his "Golden Legend" in the thirteenth century. From that time on the story of St. Anne spread over the West and was amply developed, until St. Anne became one of the most popular saints also of the Latin Church.
The Protoevangelium gives the following account: In Nazareth there lived a rich and pious couple, Joachim and Hannah. They were childless. When on a feast day Joachim presented himself to offer sacrifice in the temple, he was repulsed by a certain Ruben, under the pretext that men without offspring were unworthy to be admitted. Whereupon Joachim, bowed down with grief, did not return home, but went into the mountains to make his plaint to God in solitude. Also Hannah, having learned the reason of the prolonged absence of her husband, cried to the Lord to take away from her the curse of sterility, promising to dedicate her child to the service of God.
Their prayers were heard; an angel came to Hannah and said: "Hannah, the Lord has looked upon thy tears; thou shalt conceive and give birth and the fruit of thy womb shall be blessed by all the world". The angel made the same promise to Joachim, who returned to his wife. Hannah gave birth to a daughter whom she called Miriam (Mary). Since this

John Gregory takes a break from polemics to provide an inspiring piece on Saint Anne in a similar style to his meditations on the Mysteries of the holy Rosary. There is much to contemplate on the intricate and intimate role good Saint Anne played in bringing forth the Immaculate Conception. He calls on the words of His Holiness Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Casti Conubii and the insight of the noted liturgian and Benedictine abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger in illustrating that through the cooperation with God and her holy husband Saint Joachim, she nourished the only person ever conceived without sin for a purpose she did not know except for her love of God and the child she carried. Staying true to her mission she dedicated and raised the young child Mary to prepare her for the greatest story ever told: the Redemption of mankind. John provides the contemplation in
The Mother of the Mother of God
 
In honor of the Mother of the Mother of God we bring you an excerpt provided by Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey from a concerned Catholic mother who realizes her mission in life is to do all in her power to get her offspring to Heaven. No greater love does a mother have than to give her life for her children and most mothers do, but too often the world trumps the maternal wisdom learned at a mother's knee, those times when children learned to pray, to turn to Jesus and His Immaculate Mother and to learn their Baltimore catechism, to understand the concept of First and Last Things, so that they could pass on the holy Faith to their children. Today, that progression is, if you will, a lost art, for satan has so oversaturated minds and hearts, that to adhere to the solid principles taught in their youth is today a conflict with their daily life if they have succumbed to the world, the flesh and the devil. Thanks to Vatican II and the failure of the Church to be the guardian of souls, too many children have and therein the following letter. A Heartfelt Letter from a Concerned Catholic Mom
 
While today is not Mother's Day, it could very well be. At the least it should be "Grandmother's Day" because it is the feast of the greatest grandmother who ever lived, the grandmother of none other than the Son of God Himself. Yes, we are referring to good Saint Anne. The late Denise Michele submitted this article several years ago and it's worth re-running on this feast. Before cancer claimed Denise's life, she worked tirelessly in promoting mothering and mentoring mothers, herself a mother of a large family struggling over being forced into a lifestyle against everything she held dear, especially the importance of motherhood and their greatest gift: bearing children. This is a lesson lost on today's selfish, instant-gratification generation who have forgotten that the rewards of motherhood are 'rolled over' in Heaven forever. Why? Because mothers work in cooperation with God to populate Heaven, and this would never have been possible without the fiat of
Good Saint Anne, Patroness of Mothers
 We urge you to click the Rosary banner above for the Fifth Saturday in the Fifteen Saturdays 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 fifth Saturday of the Fifteen we focus on the gift of true wisdom which so few express today and pray for this gift so that those deceived in the CONciLIAR church will find Jesus is not there and look to the temple of the True Church to find Him for only there will He be, present in the Blessed Sacrament.

As much as we hate to beg, we have no choice. If you have benefited in anyway from what we have published, we humbly ask your help to keep this publication on line. We know that so many of our readers are unable to assist at a true traditional Latin Mass because of where they live and use the daily liturgy we publish to gain the efficacious graces possible through their prayers at home. We remain the only publication in the world to provide such and are grateful to God that we can provide such nourishment for souls. If you have not donated before, isn't it only right and proper to donate now? Whatever you can afford will be greatly appreciated. Just click the button below or send a check/money order to the address below. We are a bonafide non-profit 501c(3) religious association and all donations are tax-deductible. Whatever you would have contributed toward any bloated political campaigns or thrown away in the conciliar collection plates that only goes to covering up the sins of its presbyters and false primates while destroying all semblence of Catholicism, why not earmark it for SANCTUS/DailyCatholic? After all, shouldn't we all take St. Paul's strong counsel in 2 Thessalonians 2: 14 to heart and "stand firm, and hold the traditions which you have learned"?

Tribute to Cyndi
Keep up to date by following us on twitter or just read our twitter feed below for the latest buzz daily from a truly Catholic viewpoint as all have come to expect from the DailyCatholic.
 
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
If the above Papal Decrees have not convinced you, then for more evidence that the Chair is VACANT and that Vatican Two and all that has followed is Anathema sit as St. Paul asserts in Galatians 1: 8-9, see these on-line books and sources:

We encourage you to learn more about the Traditional Latin Mass - the true Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in these videos at this link because each time you worthily assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in person, you gain graces that are placed in a "golden chalice", so to speak, and is offered to God to be weighed in substance when you stand before Him at your Particular Judgment. The more you have filled this chalice, the better will it go for your spiritual welfare in eternity, enhanced by your cooperation with grace. Know the Mass
 To assist all in striving toward holiness, click on the Confessional to your right to review your transgressions through a thorough Examination of Conscience
When One Cannot physically assist at 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
The Fatima Prayers
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.
(repeat the above 3 times then bow your head in reciting the following:)
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. 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. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in unison with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.
O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament!
O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners.
