The Gospel for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost features the Pharisee and the Publican - the former signifying the sin of pride, the latter representing the virtue of humility. The rest of the 10th verse from Proverbs above continues with: "but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom". The next ten verses flow from this, "Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase. Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life. Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death. Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit. The prudent man doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly. The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified. The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things. He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them" (Proverbs 13: 11-20). I bring this up because this week we feature on each day Paul Koskowski's series on the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins beginning with pride on Sunday and ending Saturday with gluttony. For Sunday's liturgy the Haydock Commentary provided by John Gregory focuses on "The Essence of Humility" and Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI entreats Let Us Humble Ourselves in his 12-minute audio sermon. Sunday is also the feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori and a perfect gateway for this month of the Immaculate Heart for he had such great devotion to Our Lady. It was this holy Bishop and Doctor of the Church, The Keeper of the Moral Compass who guarded souls against the Capital Sins. He foresaw and warned of the Great Apostasy that has suffocated souls in our time. That is because ever Since the death of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, the Catholic Church hasn't been the same. That's right, and Jesus tells us why. Because what poses as 'Catholic' today, governed by those usurping the authority in Rome and dioceses throughout the world, is a false church - a proud man-made religion that has eclipsed the humble true Church consigned in these times to the catacombs. Our Lord shows us in Sunday's gospel the difference between the proud and the humble in the pharisee and the publican for pride goeth before the fall. He tells us who these proud modedrnist pharisees are in St. Matthew 7: 15 that we must beware of the false prophets who may appear in clothing of sheep, but inwardly we must recognize them as ravening wolves or worse. If the faithful couldn't see the "abomination of desolation" (St. Matthew 24:15) and devious destruction of the true Faith during the regimes of the first five imposters since Pius' passing, they should surely see it now as Roman-born Argentine Mr. Jorge Bergoglio continues his agenda to wipe out any vestiges of Catholic truth that would be offensive to non-Catholics in his Marxist mindset to please man, not God through his humanist efforts to form a One World Religion. If one reads St. Paul's warning in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3-11 and what many would do in 2 Timothy 4: 3-4, we can more readily see what Our Lord meant in St. Luke 18:8 when He asked rhetorically if there would be any one of faith left when He returns.

How do we restore the sacred? How do we wake up the masses as to what constitutes a true Mass and that those in the CONciLIAR church of Vatican 2 do not have it? First of all, we pray. Unlike the chosen apostles who witnessed the Transfiguration of Our Lord, a feast we celebrate on Thursday, most of us go purely on faith for we have not seen the supernatural. Yet we believe. We did not see the snow that fell in Rome in what has become the feast of Our Lady of the Snows. Yet we believe. We did not see St. Dominic receive Mary's holy psalter from Heaven. Yet we believe. And because we do, we here at the DailyCatholic will continue to do all in our power to bring you the full liturgy for the Propers of for each day of the legitimate true Mass of all ages which His Holiness Pope St. Pius V infallibly decreed cannot be altered and must be said in perpetuity. Then we link reliable sources that will not compromise with the Great Apostasy that has been thrust on the faithful over the past fifty-plus years. Out of all reliable sources verifying the above, NovusOrdoWatch provides the best play-by-play of the implosion of the counterfeit CONciLIAR church and the schemes toward a One World Order which is intent on erasing all true spirituality from this planet. Others worth checking on daily are Christorchaos.com for articles and links, as well as True Restoration and the following blogs that we heartily recommend Introibo Ad Altare Dei, Fr. Anthony Cekada's Quidlibet, Bishop Donald Sanborn's In Veritate, and the satirical, but on-point Call Me Jorge. We also point you to Traditio which, although the Father Moderators will not admit the term "sedevacantism", 95% of what they provide reinforces this position. Note, we provide here those sites that carry almost daily coverage and in no way demean other sites that update more infreqently. For those sites, please see Traditional Catholic Resource Port.
The only obstacle to totally dominating as a totalitarian society is the Roman Catholic Church. Always has been. Since the death of the last true Sovereign Pontiff Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958 that wall of resistance has been steadily crumbling thanks to those with a worldly Marxist bent to accept the world and please man rather than God as is so evident today. Oh, the devil is laughing, but he seems to forget Genesis 3:15 where the Blessed Virgin Mary will crush his head with her heel. Oh, we can't wait! Until then, it's important to expose the wolves just as the holy Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales advises for the sake of informing souls of the dangers these charlatans pose.
It's also important that Protestants of every fabric, as well as those wedded to the dead-end Novus Ordo and its apparatchiks, realize Jesus founded only ONE Church upon the Rock of Peter and "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (St. Matthew 16: 18). Just the fact the fortifications are crumbling is evidence the church since the 60's is not the true Church for if it were, then the conclusion would have to be Jesus was wrong. That is blasphemy. Ergo, we need only revert to the Act of Faith we say every day wherein we pray "We believe these and all the truths of the holy Catholic Church because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived." Just the fact so many souls have been deceived proves it is not from God, but of His adversary lucifer and his legions. Also the fact that all other religions formed over the last two millennia Anno Domini were founded by men who thought they had a better idea than God give credence that they were all founded upon error. Thus Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodist, Baptist, Mormons, etc. may call themselves Christians, but considering they subscribe to a sect that broke from the true Church, and thus have abandoned their stewardship as God expects, this should have them quaking in their boots for unbeknownst to them, most have embraced Mammon. We say that not to denigrate those born into or taking up a false religion, but to "Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine" as St. Paul urges in 2 Timothy 4: 2. For the Apostle of the Gentiles was given to know as he warned in the next two verses: "For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables."
The vast majority of Protestants and Novus Ordinarians do not realize this and it is left to true Catholics to inform them, to reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. Basically it means upsetting their comfort zone. They may not like it, they may put up their defenses or do as so many do, change the subject and get away as fast as they can. But if we, as true faithful Catholics who abide by the infallible, perennial Magisterium of nearly 2000 years, do not do as Paul instructs in verse five to be vigilant, labor in all things, and do the work of an evangelist to fulfill our ministry while keeping sober, then we will be held accountable for our stewardship and face bad news at our Particular Judgment. We may not win friends with our persistence to proclaim the truth, but if we can convert souls, that's all that counts with God. Man has a free will. That is something to remember and when rebuked, then shake the sandals and move on. After all, all Our Lord asks is that we try. He'll do the rest. We conclude with the reminder of what Christ says in St. Luke 18: 7-8, "And will not God revenge His elect who cry to Him day and night: and will He have patience in their regard? I say to you, that He will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?" The truth is there is little faith left and it is dwindling by the day. It all makes sense today and it makes sense to take our stewardship seriously and commit our efforts to restore the sacred by driving the apostates out so that the churches can someday, in God's time, become truly Catholic churches again after they are re-consecrated with the filth washed away.
While we see the edifications of the saints throughout the traditional liturgy each year, we also must be aware of their adversaries who work tirelessly to dissuade souls from pursuing holiness. This is not something that has just happened, but was percolating for centuries and only came to the surface over the past fifty plus years with the cabal that corrals Catholics today with the notion that doctrine evolves and that everyone goes to Heaven. To alert souls to this deception, what we all must do is...
Though I have already personally thanked each of those who have answered our plea here at SANCTUS/DailyCatholic, I want to publicly acknowledge their sharing and caring. To date we've raised just over $2,270.00 but are still nearly $3,000.00 short of our necessary goal to continue publishing. As mentioned in last week's edition, almsgiving is part and parcel of salvation for we cannot take it with us and how we distribute our treasure and talents on this earth goes a long, long way toward what the verdict will be when we stand before the Supreme Judge at our Particular Judgment. The more who realize this, the more peace of mind they will have. We are not a church. Yet we have been a traditional apostolate professing, proclaiming and promoting the infrangible truths of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church for a quarter of a century. During this period we have always depended upon the mercy of our readers and benefactors and God has always provided, with the Holy Ghost prompting souls to donate. As you know, this long-running publication has always used that analogy for this publication in inviting all to "set sail with DailyCatholic.org" We can confidently say, without a shadow of a doubt for all the years we've been publishing on-line, that we've never steered one soul wrong in all we've published. For our content has been in 100% accord with the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church firmly aboard the true Barque of Peter. Speaking of vessels, over the last year we've been taking on water even in a drought year, no less, due to a bilge of bills. To stay afloat we need to turn to you our readers. It has been well over a year since this editor made a plea for funds. Prior to that my beloved late bride Cyndi would write a heartfelt plea and benefactors would respond generously. With her gone, I'm not too good at asking for money, but purveyors need to be paid so necessity is the mother of invention and I have to ask. Speaking of mothers and Cyndi, it was Henry Ward Beecher who said "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." I can confidently say before God I loved their mother dearly and dearly hope that what we imparted as parents will sustain them in this chaotic world where the secular demons of the world, the flesh and the devil have eclipsed Christ's holy Church, chasing the faithful remnant into the catacombs of sedevacantist churches and chapels. That is where we are today, isolated, if you will, from the vast majority because of our belief in the true Faith. But belief alone, as strong as it is, isn't, unfortunantely, strong enough to move mountains or meet expenditures that continue to increase as the economy teeters. Therefore, of the $5,000.00 needed for this apostolate to continue as it has we're still $3,000.00 short. I set that amount for we have always budgeted $25,000. a year in donations and to date since January the total is $9,000. and we're past the half-way point of the year. Hopefully you can more readily see the deficit and why the DailyCatholic's plight is nearing a crisis point. I would hope and pray you will see in your heart the compassion to help and we remind you with the graphic below, repeated each day. We remind you we are a bonafide 501c3 non-profit so any and all contributions are tax-deductible. I also remind you that this editor does not take one penny in salary. It remains a labor of love.

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. For the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost we have as the theme man's pride and forgetting who he really is for without God he is nothing. St. Paul bears this out in his Epistle to the Corinthians in warning that the spirit (Holy Ghost) cannot deceive, knows all and knows which gifts to bestow. Likewise in the Gospel God knows man's heart and though he might act humble, he who strives to be exalted will be humbled, as will he who broadcasts that he is 'humble' like a certain Argentinian, but he who credits God for whatever he has, be they gifts or crosses, will be exalted by God. After all, that's really all that matters. The Essence of Humility
Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a 12-minute sermon from a few years ago for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost by Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph Seminary at the City of Mary in Rathdrum, Idaho. Father points to Our Lord's words in the Gospel and urges us to be careful when we see something to not make rash judgments for then we can be as guilty as the pharisee. While we must judge the words and actions of others, we must also remember we never know their heart and must leave it to God to judge that. But we should, like St. Paul entreats us, to rebuke, reprieve, entreat but always with great charity and doctrine. If we are not sure, then remain humble for humility is the failsafe way to stay on God's good side since the more publican like we can be, the better our chances of Heaven as Father encourages with the wise advice: Let Us Humble Ourselves

God elected here and pre-elected her. He made her to dwell in His tabernacle. O Lady, hear my prayer. And let my cry come unto thee.
Tradition tells us that during the pontificate of Pope Liberius, in the Fourth Century, in the heat of August, the plan of the church of St. Mary Major was traced out in a miraculous fall of snow. For this reason that basilica is known as St. Mary-of-the-Snow, and the name is also given to the feast of its dedication. The stations at at Christmas are held in this Church because some relics of the Crib of Bethlehem are preserved there. The Pope was also accustomed to officiate there on the first Sunday in Advent, at the beginning of ...More Novena to St. Philomena Day Three We continue with Paul Kokoski's primer on the dangers of the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins as we focus today on Sloth. Laziness begets sloth because man does not realize God established a work ethic so that man would not only earn his wages by the sweat of his brow, but earn the opportunity of sharing eternal life with his Creator by being vigilant in his spiritual life of prayer, penance and reparation. Those who are lukewarm do not have the fire in their belly to accomplish whatever talents and goals God deigns for them and by their laziness, they forfeit not only the opportunity to gain a higher place in Heaven, but the possibility that such a destination will never be reached because of the slothful ways one lives. It would be wise if those couch-slouchers would get off their rear ends and on their knees in asking the good Lord and Our Lady for help in motivating them to stay busy and active for the welfare of their own souls and those of others. Expecting others to do the work while they slump on the sofa will have its consequences sooner or later. You don't want to waste time wondering, but get busy now for it's not just an axiom that idleness is indeed the devil's workshop. See why The Man of Sloth Never Succeeds Hail, Virgin most wise, Hail, Deity's shrine, With seven fair pillars, And table divine. From Prime in the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception This festival was originally commemorated on the Vigil of Ember Saturday in Lent. With the decline of liturgical understanding a special festival was instituted in its honor in order to arouse popular devotion to this mystery. It is now the patronal feast of the Lateran Basilica, and of all churches under the title of St. Savior. Pope St. Xystus II There is also a commemoration of Pope Saint Sixtus, Saints Felicissimus and Agapitus, Martyrs. Pope St. Sixtus II, 24th Successor of St. Peter, effected the translation of the mortal remains of the man Christ chose as the first Sovereign Pontiff of His Church. Sixtus also introduced the Latin exclamation Deo gratias into the Ordinary of the holy Mass. He is also referred to as Xystus and is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. He served in a basilica in Rome, which is called Saint Peter ad Vincula (in chains) was the first martyr actually put to death in the catacombs themselves. Under the Emperor Valerian (258) he was beheaded on his throne just as he finished Mass. His four deacons were put to death with him, and two others, Felicissimus and Agapitus, were decapitated the same day while ...More Novena to St. Philomena Day Four Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a sixteen-minute sermon given eight years ago by Bishop Daniel Dolan on the Transfiguration as he sets the scene where Our Lord chose to reveal to His closest Apostles Who He really was. There had been rumors that He was a king Who would overthrow the Jews and set the Romans straight. He wanted to let them know that His kingdom was not of this world for He is the Light that shines in the darkness just as St. John says in the opening of his gospel. The bishop notes that the Apostles said it is good to be here. So also we should say the same when in the presence of the True Presence at Holy Mass, Adoration or Benediction for the Light will shine in our own darkness if we are only open to the Light. Like the Apostles, they had to shake their head when the Transfiguration was over and it was back to reality, so also today we see instead of the City of God, we find the tragic CONciLIAR church and the desecration of all that is holy. Darkness permeates souls. It is a reason also that Israel is not at peace and here in America the darkness blinds us to the divine plan as we head toward a one world government and one world church, all satan's plan. Sentimentality and feelings have replaced reason and common sense. The world has turned topsy-turvy. Social engineering has turned souls silent to proclaim the truth. We must for the scandal of the cross must be our all. We've seen the Light of faith as the gospel says and can discern the difference between God's Plan and the Scandal of Man We continue with Paul Kokoski's primer on the dangers of the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins as we focus today on Envy. The Angelic Doctor of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas said it best for the opposite of charity is envy. He worte in his Summa Theologica "Charity rejoices in our neighbor's goods, while envy grieves over it." We see today in the progressive administrations of Europe and now America how the leaders play on envy to push through their socialistic collective agendas. What poor man, not rooted in the faith, is going to object to receiving rewards his richer neighbor has honestly earned? It's called redistribution and it's based on the deadly sin of envy. Besides charity, which a great majority of those who have made honest livings are for the most part quite charitable with their wealth, what we as Catholics should do to offset the inclination to envy is to seek to emulate others. If someone is more successful, bless them and strive to be like them as long as they walk in God's ways. If not, seek first to convert them and if not, then move on to better examples for those who live by envy will die as desperate and miserable dogs. Why dogs? Because they have been dogged by envy that prevents them from being the pure breds God created where they could have been man's best friend. But because of envy they seek to devour their neighbor like a demonic pit-bull. See why The Envious Man is a Miserable Cur Today we begin another Novena in this month of novenas with the Novena in preparation for the Solemnity of the Assumption that lasts from the feast of the Transfiguration through the Vigil of the Assumption. Click on First Day of the Novena for the Assumption Day One Preserved from the guilt Which hath come on us all; Exempt in the womb From the taint of the fall. From Prime in the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception St. Cajetan was born in 1480 in Lombardy, of pious and noble parents. From childhood he was known as a saint and in later years as "a hunter of souls." Even before St. Ignatius he undertook to establish a body of Clerks Regular following the apostolic life. Together with Pietro Carafa, afterwards Pope Paul IV, he took the austere vow of entrusting himself entirely to Divine Providence and living solely on any alms which might be voluntarily given by the faithful. Christian Rome venerates him as one of her most ...More Novena to St. Philomena Day Five This is also the First Friday of August as we honor the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in this month of His Mother's Immaculate Heart with First Friday Devotions We continue with Paul Kokoski's primer on the dangers of the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins as we focus today on Greed, also known as Avarice. Contrary to fictional character Gordon Gekko from Wall Street, greed is not good. Why? Because we all know that it is not money that leads us to ruin, but the love of money. Greed causes man to horde, to cheat, to store up riches on this earth that won't lead to a hill of beans in Heaven. How can we forget Our Lord's pertinent words from St. Matthew 16: 26 and St. Mark 8: 36 that should echo in the ears and hearts of every man? "For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?" Yet so few remember and by their neglect store up great riches during this fleeting time on earth only to realize it won't buy them eternal paradise, while those who seek after poverty will be, as Jesus promises in the Beatitudes Christ expressed to the multitudes on the mount in St. Matthew 5: 3. "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." We should seek after detachment from the things of the world, contempt of riches, and love of poverty. See why Greed is NOT Good O new Star of Jacob Of angels the Queen, O gate of the saints, O mother of men. From Prime in the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception Day Two Today is the Simple feast of the holy martyrs St. Cyriacus, Largus and Smaragdus. Cyriacus was a holy deacon of Rome under Popes St. Marcellinus and Marcellus. With Largus, Smaragdus, and about twenty others he was crowned with martyrdom in 303, in the persecution of Diocletian. The occasion of the translation of their remains many years later to a church dedicated to them led to the institution of a festival in their memory. St. Cyriacus is invoked for diseases of the eye, and against diabolical possessions. See the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Timete Dominum In some traditional chapels the votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday is celebrated with a commemoration of the holy martyrs this day. See Salve, sancta parens Novena to St. Philomena Day Six Novena in preparation for the Solemnity of the Assumption Day Three We conclude Paul Kokoski's primer on the dangers of the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins as we focus today on Gluttony. Fasting and Penance, self-mortification are important to curb our appetites and in this day and age food and drink seem to take on a pagan Dionysian and Bacchanalian lifestyle where the emphasis is to live to eat rather than eat to live. In this age of instant gratification, restraint and prudence seem to take a backseat and it is no shock that many are obese not only because of what they consume, but because of a laxity of self-discipline where to say no to seconds, or to imbibe too much isn't even a second thought. Their lust for the taste must be fed no matter the cost. When gluttony was listed as one of the deadly sins back millenniums ago, most gained their sustenance from the soil, livestock and waters, but today not only is agriculture a dying trade, but fast food has overwhelmed society and God only knows what harmful chemicals have been inserted to either make it last longer or mask the taste. Regardless, man has lost his way moreso today than ever before by not trusting in God to provide from the fruit of the earth and instead throwing caution to the wind and when things don't go the way they want, turn to the bottle for solice. That of course leads to the dark descending road that, if not checked, leads to the abyss. Only by recognizing the problem and then making reparation through prayer, moderaton and mortification through fasting and penance to protect our souls and our bodies, which are, after all, temples of the Holy Ghost. It's important to realize Food Fasts Beat Fast-Food As we continue focusing on the Sorrowful Mysteries we urge you to click the Rosary banner above for the Seventh 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 seventh Saturday of the Fifteen we now arrive at Scourging of the Pillar. Would we have the patience and stomach to watch our dear innocent Lord Jesus be whipped into an unrecognizable mass of flesh. Each scourge caused by our sins should be a deterrent to cease all sinning and realize how much it hurts Our Lord so. Let us refocus on our own patience in every day life. If God can be patient with us, we can learn patience, the intention for the Seventh Saturday O terrible as The embattled array, Be thou of the faithful The refuge and stay. Amen. The Lord Himself created her in the Holy Ghost. And poured here out among all His works. O Lady, hear my prayer. And let my cry come unto thee.

On this seventh Saturday of the Fifteen we now arrive at Scourging of the Pillar. Would we have the patience and stomach to watch our dear innocent Lord Jesus be whipped into an unrecognizable mass of flesh. Each scourge caused by our sins should be a deterrent to cease all sinning and realize how much it hurts Our Lord so. Let us refocus on our own patience in every day life. If God can be patient with us, we can learn patience, the intention for the Seventh Saturday O terrible as The embattled array, Be thou of the faithful The refuge and stay. Amen. The Lord Himself created her in the Holy Ghost. And poured here out among all His works. O Lady, hear my prayer. And let my cry come unto thee.
