We want to take this opportunity to wish mothers everywhere a blessed and frutiful Mother's Day as the headline above notes. This goes for those living and those who are deceased. The latter this year refers to our beloved Cyndi for this year Mother's Day is a bit sadder in the Cain household since the "Beautiful Mom who lived the Beatitudes" is no longer with us. I speak of my bride, whom yesterday, May 10, would have celebrated with me our 33rd Wedding Anniversary. However, just over a month ago she passed peacefully into eternity at exactly 3:30 a.m. on April 8. To gain a better idea of who this special lady was, I invite you to read my lengthy heartfelt tribute to her God writes straight with crooked lines in which you'll see how God's chosen victim soul truly lived the Beatitudes throughout her life. Also, if you missed the spread on her funeral in the previous edition, you can see Our hearts are sobbing, but our souls are soaring.
How appropriate that this week we celebrate the Mother of them all, the Blessed Virgin Mary on Tuesday, which is not only the feast of the holy cardinal and Doctor of the Church St. Robert Bellarmine, but also when we honor Mary with the traditional observance of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament on the 97th Anniversary of the Mother of God appearing to the three children at the Cova in Fatima, Portugal. The message she sent was both a warning and provided great hope, but only if we cooperate. As we can see, just three years short of the centennial of the last universally approved apparition by the Church, in what has happened since then, in particular the past 54, is that we haven't heeded her words very well. Because man thought he had a better idea than God's, and because even sending His Own Blessed Mother hasn't thawed cold, hardened hearts, we have the situation we face today. We remain in this valley of tears mainly because the world has veered from God and not been attentive to the infallible teachings of her divine Son. Thus the errors of Russia have indeed spread to where today abortion is dismissed as "oh, well" or worse, now there's a pill that will erase a human life with a swallow. The concept of motherhood is becoming a lost and cherished tradition thanks to satan's agenda so skillfully carried out by his minions of the apostate CONciLIAR church and its counterparts in the New World Order. All that was good and decent has been twisted where evil is good and virtue is weakness that must be deprogrammedj so man will march to another master who realizes his time is short. It is not like we weren't warned. Our Lady foretold the Great Apostasy at Quito and La Salette and confirmed it at Fatima. Yet there is great hope on the horizon for we know in the end, her Immaculate Heart will triumph! Alleluia! Yet there is great hope on the horizon for we know in the end, her Immaculate Heart will triumph! Alleluia! See the The Cause and the Cure
Finally, we thank those who have sent their condolences over Cyndi's passing, and we also ask your patience as I "Rube-Goldberg" each edition during May while waiting for my computer to be fully restored after having sent it to the shop where they had to reset it to factory settings and then rebuild the entire system. Fortunately, other than past emails, I had all my data files backed up, though it may take up to a week to download them back into the proper folders once I get my computer back, which should be as good as new...notice I said, should be. In the meantime, we continue with our daily bouquets to the Queen of the May with daily salutations from her Litany of titles. I've been working via flashdrive to keep the DailyCatholic up-to-date by using an older laptop, while stalling the creditors as our overdue bills for Cyndi's past medical, and then funeral expenses, is now nearly $5000.00 with increased interest rates accruing the longer the bills remain unpaid. That is another reason we set up Cyndi's Angels as a way to pay honor to her memory by also helping pay off the bills she accrued through the illnesses that so assailed her in her last years. Anything you can contribute to help would be so greatly appreciated. On your charity depends how long I can keep publishing the DailyCatholic on a regular basis, not to mention keeping our home and car. That's how desperate things have become. Yes, I trust totally in God, but I know that He also expects you, our readers, to help in anyway you can, especially in light of the fact that I don't take one red cent in salary as Executive Director of SANCTUS and editor of the DailyCatholic. Yes, this will continue to be a labor of love even with the love of my life gone. All I humbly ask is for our readers to be as generous as possible, and know that God will reward you abundantly in His time and His way. Thank you.

On this Third Sunday After Easter, the Church rejoices because Christ is risen again and has redeemed us (Alleluia); and so she utters cries of joy (Introit) and sings the praises of God (Offertory).
A little while, and now you shall not see Me, and you shall lament and weep," Jesus said in His last discourse to His disciples; "and again a little while, and you shall see Me, and your heart shall rejoice"
The Apostles, when again they saw Christ risen from the dead, were filled with ...More
As noted above, in some traditional parishes the feast of the holy Apostles Sts. Philip and James is celebrated, which would supersede the Sunday feast in this ase. In the Church of the Twelve Apostles in Rome there were some relics of the apostles Philip and James the Just or Less. Because of the consecration of the Church of the holy Apostles on May 1, and the relics of St. James preserved in this Church, the feast of James the Less was joined with that of St. Philip and celebrated on this day.
The apostle St. Philip was one of the first chosen disciples of Christ. He preached the Gospel in Eastern Europe, and in Phrygia, and in the end suffered death by crucifixion.
St. James governed the Church of Jerusalem for nearly thirty years, until about A.D. 62, when he was stoned to death by the Jews.

John Gregory has graciously provided Father George Leo Haydock's commentaries on the Douay-Rheims version of the New Testament. The Third Sunday following Easter is often called Jubilation Sunday for the Introit "Jubiláte Deo" which means "Shout with joy to God" and Our Lord's words in the Gospel of St. John are indeed cause for joy for no matter how much we may suffer, no matter the travails, Jesus assures us, if we stay the course, obey the divine will and are ever faithful our sorrow will be turned to joy. When that is, only God knows for time to the Almighty is as if thousands of years are but a moment, even just a second as the Haydock Commentary pores over in today's commentary for the Third Sunday after Easter. In a little while...
Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph's Minor Seminary in Rathdrum, Idaho at the City of Mary presents a nine-minute sermon recorded for Traditional Catholic Sermons for the Third Sunday after Easter, also known as "Jubilation Sunday" after the Introit "Jubilátio Deo" in which Father addresses how Christ speaks so often in today's specific Gospel of St. John the words "a little while", in Latin condensed to one word: "módicum", and how there is both joy and sorrow in this world, but if you are faithful to Him our sorrows will be temporary while the joy of serving God will be a great joy and, if we can persevere in grace, we shall indeed see Him in all His splendor in the Beatific Vision providing great jubilation for our soul and throught the heavens as Father explains in his sermon given last year. See Módicum
Each day we feature a title and/or salutation to Our Lady in celebration of Mary's month of May and today we honor her as Queen of Apostles in recognizing the feast of Sts. Philip and James the Lesser, a feast established by Pope Pius XII transferred from May 1. In many traditional chapels where they still observe May 1 as the feast of these two Apostles, today is recognized as a ferial day. Whichever, all are encouraged to pray daily the Holy Rosary andcontemplate on the magnificent titles she is known by in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary and The Fatima Prayers.
On the eleventh day of May and the flower offered to Our Lady is the beautiful PINK ROSE with the corresponding Virtue being PRAYER. How appropriate that outside of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the most efficacious prayer is Mary's Holy Rosary. The pink rose so magnificently expresses Our Lady's true femininity and divine motherhood. Her Rosary which she herself bestowed to St. Dominic is a spiritual bouquet of roses we can offer daily to Heaven, a spiritual bouquet built upon the ancient prayers of the Psalter - 150 decades for the 150 Psalms of David the Prophet. Devotion of The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary

On this 97th Anniversary of the First Apparition at
Fatima we celebrate the feast of St. Robert Bellarmine, of whom Pope Clement VIII said: "The Church of God had not his equal in learning," was born in 1542 at Montepulciano and died in 1621. He entered the Society of Jesus, was made a Cardinal and distinguished himself by his teaching, preaching, writing and defense of the rights of the Church. During St. Aloysius' last years, St. Robert was his spiritual director. He was beatified in 1923, canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1931 by Pope Pius XI. He is the patron of catechetical instruction, and members of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine may gain a plenary indulgence on his feast day under the usual conditions. See Mass of "In medio Ecclesiae"
This wise Doctors of the Church was an Italian born on the feast of the founder of the Franciscans, but trained as a Jesuit who upheld the ideals of the Society as its founders had established. He was an extremely sharp polemist who was not afraid to take on the most vitrolic Protestant theologians and, because this master apologist never wavered from Catholic truth, he always won out in perpetuating the Counter Reformation of Trent. His fame, humility and sense of the Sensus Catholicus won back countless souls who had wavered during the Reformation. But his wisdom was not employed only on the sheep, but the shepherds as well - the chief shepherds - for he was Theologian and Spiritual Counselor to no less than five Popes. For more, see Theologian of the Roman Pontiffs and Trent

Today is traditionally celebrated as Octave Day of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph celebrated by the Church on the third Wednesday after Easter or the Wednesday after Good Shepherd Sunday and observed as a Double Major for the Octave Day.
The Epistle speaks to us of Joseph who in the Old Testament is a figure of St. Joseph. The dying Jacob prophesies that his son Joseph shall be the pastor and strength of Israel and that the Almighty shall shower blessing over the entire land of Egypt, so ...More
We also refer you to the special prayer to the Patron of the Universal Church, prescribed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, to be recited on the Solemnity of St. Joseph traditionally celebrated on the Third Wednesday after Easter as well as during the Octave Week.

Each day we feature a title and/or salutation to Our Lady in celebration of Mary's month of May and today we want to acknowledge her as the title above says - "most amiable" for after all who would be so patient as our loving Blessed Mother. Should we not repay her by doing as she asks and daily take up the beads to pray her Holy Rosary and contemplate on the magnificent titles she is known by in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary and The Fatima Prayers.
For the fourteenth day of May, the flower offered to our Blessed Mother is the PASSION FLOWER with the corresponding Virtue being SACRIFICE. The greatest Sacrifice was the Passion of our Lord which was the greatest Sacrifice that resulted in the blossoming of souls through salvation for all who followed Christ's teachings/ On this day let us remember also the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - same Sacrifice as that of the cross, for the victim is one and the same, namely, Christ our Lord, Who offered Himself, once only, a bloody Sacrifice on the altar of the cross. The bloody and unbloody victim are not two, but one Victim only, Whose Sacrifice is daily renewed in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the bread and wine are confected into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This continual Sacrifice is carried on in obedience to the command of our Lord: "Haec quotiescumque feceritis, in Mei memoriam facietis." - As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me." There is no bouquet more pleasing to His Blessed Mother than worthily assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where our souls should open wide like the Passion Flower to embrace our crosses sent so lovingly by the Almighty. Carrying our cross daily is what Sacrifice is all about so that grace will flower forth, so abundant in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Each day we feature a title and/or salutation to Our Lady in celebration of Mary's month of May and today, on the feast of St. John Baptist de la Salle, we honor Mary with the title of Virgin most prudent for that is the theme of the epistle today as we continue during this time within the Octave of the Ascension and strive to say daily Our Lady's Holy Rosary and contemplate on the magnificent titles she is known by in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary and The Fatima Prayers.
For the fifteenth day - the Ides of May - the flower offered to our Blessed Mother is the whispy MIMOSA with the corresponding Virtue being GENEROSITY. God loves a generous heart and one, who loves God and seeks to do His holy Will at all times, cannot help but be generous in all things, illustrated in the stamen of the Mimosa flower, fanning out in ray-like fashion to receive the graces God grants to those who are open to them and practice the cardinal virtues as well as the various virtues illustrated in this, Mary's special month for she is the Queen of the May. It is only natural that everyone would want to be generous to the Queen for that brings great favor from the King, Who is, of course, her divine Son Jesus Christ, to Whom we owe all allegiance, all fidelity, all our love and generosity. Let us pray the Devotion of The Little Crown of the Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Saint Ubaldus, Bishop of Gubbio in Central Italy, died at his post in 1160, after great devotion to his flock and with such a reputation for sanctity that he was canonized in less than thirty years after his death. He is remembered for his great power over the evil spirits.

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"?

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.

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."
