 
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. Because there are so many souls to be saved, this apostolate continues for the 27th year and 20 years online in order to inform 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.
 For those who are unaware of the passing of His Excellency Bishop Robert Fidelis McKenna, O.P. a month ago, we have all lost a true pioneer of the traditional movement. He was the last true Dominican bishop. That is the saddest commentary on the tragic effects of Vatican 2 which he fought with all his might and refused to compromise one iota. Margaret Omlor was able to curry enough donations to cover the Thirty Day Gregorian Masses for the repose of his soul and to rush him into everlasting bliss before the Beatific Vision. For more on this giant in seeking to save souls from the heresies of the CONciLIAR church, see our tribute when he was enshrined in the Tower of Trent Hall of Honor for Bishop McKenna, O.P. Like his founder St. Dominic, the good bishop took up the charge to fight heresy wherever he saw it while ordaining priests and consecrating bishops to provide the true Sacraments to willing souls who realized that Modernist Rome is not Catholic.
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, especially with so much political vitriol being spewed.
After publishing a monthly tabloid newspaper since 1990, in 1996 we launched out on the internet - then called the world wide web. It akin to learning Greek in formatting html, but we persevered and this year we mark twenty years online with this publication, which we proudly can say we have always followed St. Paul's counsel in 2 Thessalonians 2: 14 in standing fast, and holding the traditions which we have learned by always providing the infrangible truths and traditions of holy Mother Church.
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 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 Wednesday, 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 or the holy martyr Pope St. Marcellus I 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). To better understand why the Chair of Peter has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII of happy memory, we present two videos below, one from Fr. Anthony Cekada titled "Why Do Traditionalists Fear Sedevacantism?" and the other from NovusOrdoWatch.org with "True or False Popes" Have the Gates of Hell Prevailed? that will hopefully remove the veil of doubt and help those who fear such a situation to connect the dots and realize the only reconciliation to the Great Apostasy today is that the gates of hell have prevailed against the CONciLIAR church but can never prevail against the true Church instituted by Jesus Christ upon the Rock of Peter. (cf. St. Matthew 16: 18)
There's a way to offset the evil fomented by the CONciLIAR church and the world it embraces 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 on Friday. 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. 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

The Prophesies and Revelations to St. Bridget of Sweden offer us an insight into the mind of God and what we need to do to gain eternal life as these words support and fortify divine revelation in keeping man on the straight and narrow. Continuing the analogy of the winged insect, the Mother of God's words to her daughter paint a different picture than the butterfly but rather a much more disturbing flying insect as she equates another such bishop allegorically as a gadfly, his wordy eloquence as flying, his two concerns as two wings, his flattery of the world as a sting; and about the Virgin's amazement at the life of these two bishops; also, about preachers. This is the sad essence of chapter fifteen of Book Three,
A Bishop as a Gadfly.

Through these revelations to St. Bridget of Sweden we see clearer than ever the mind of God and what we need to do to not only assure our own salvation, but win souls for Him in sharing Heaven. In the sixteenth chapter of Book Three, the Blessed Mother speaks to her daughter of the opportune solution to the difficulties meeting the bishop on the narrow path. In this chapter the Son of God provides an explanation to the bride St. Bridget that the damnation of souls does not please God; He also reveals the conversation between two bishops about the astonishing questions of the younger bishop to the older bishop, and about the answers of the older bishop to the younger one which are not encouraging for his eternal welfare. All should take heed as we can see in Book 3, Chapter 16:
Woe to the Worldly Bishop.

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.

 assure our own salvation, but win souls for Him in sharing Heaven. In the Seventeenth Chapter of Book Three, This chapter deals with the Blessed Virgin Mary's words to her daughter St. Bridget of Sweden, which highlight and praise the life and order of St. Dominic, and illustrate how he turned to the Virgin at the hour of his death. She also conveys how, in modern times, few of his friars live by the sign of Christ's passion given them by Dominic, but many of them live by the mark of incision given them by the devil as we see in
Live by the rule or rue it.

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

  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 this chapter the Blessed Virgin Mary's words to her daughter refer to how friars would now listen and in fact do listen sooner to the devil's voice than to that of their father Dominic, about how few of them follow in his footsteps now, about how those seeking the episcopate for worldly honor and for their own comfort and freedom do not belong to the rule of St. Dominic, about the terrible condemnation of such men, and about the condemnation experienced for one such episcopate, who discovered this too late. Our Lady also offers up the example of St. Augustine as we see in Book 3, Chapter 18:
The Rule Rules.

  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 this chapter we see St. Bridget of Sweden's reply to Jesus Christ Himself on how she is afflicted by various useless thoughts, and how she cannot get rid of them. Our Lord's reply to the bride about why God permits this, and illustrates the usefulness of such thoughts and fears with respect to her reward. These words are encouraging though He places the caveat that this is provided she detests the thoughts and has a prudent fear of God, and how she - and we - should never make light of venial sin lest it lead to mortal sin. Our Lord also clarifies about the two bishops that have been referred to throughout the previous chapters which should give us all pause to
Think about your thoughts.

In this short chapter the Blessed Mother of God speaks to the daughter Saint Bridget of Sweden on how the talent represents the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and commends the holy founder of the Benedictines Saint Benedict who added to the gifts of the Holy Ghost given to him and was able to shut out the fire of the devil in his soul. Holy Mary also explains the difference between the spirits that enter the human soul: the Holy Spirit or the demonic spirit and how the latter can be so devastating and burn souls unless the soul has the asbestos grace of the Holy Ghost. This is the essence of the Twentieth chapter of Book Three,
Fireproofing the Soul.

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"?

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."
Plenary Indulgence, Condition:
- Confession
- Communion
- One Our Father
- One Hail Mary
- One Glory be...
Pope Pius IX, July 31, 1858
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.

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary...
And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us. Hail Mary...
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray.
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae.
Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto. Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructis ventris tui, Jesus.Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Ecce ancilla Domini.
Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Ave Maria...
Et Verbum caro factum est.
Et habitavit in nobis. Ave Maria...
Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.
Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi. Oremus.
Gratiam tuam, quaesumus Domine, mentibus nostris infunde: ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus, per passionem ejus et crucem ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

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
