With each passing day the world grows darker, more evil. We see it in the news, in the media, in civil life where few are civil as discord is being sown by the very leaders who should be promoting unity. But should we be surprised? No, we should not be for the Mother of God foretold this at Quito in the 1600's and at LaSalette, as well as at Fatima, all Church-approved apparitions worthy of belief. We need only go back to Genesis 3: 14-15 where God said to the serpent " I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel". As the Church Fathers discern this that it is by Mary's seed, Jesus Christ, that the woman crushes the serpent's head.

    Reverting back to the above paragraph on the increasing discord we face, we want to share a YouTube reminder of Our Lady's warning at LaSalette that reinforces key excerpts she imparted to the two visionaries Maxim and Melanie. We encourage you to use stop action and move the cursor forward manually to read if you are not a fast reader for it moves rather quickly. We see today her very prophesies carried out and the role we, the faithful remnant - true Traditional Catholics - must play for our own salvation and that of so many others for she said, "I appeal to the apostles of the latter days to the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ who will live despised by the world and by themselves, in poverty and humility, in scorn and silence, in prayer, mortification, in chastity and union with God in suffering and ignored by the world. The time has come for them to go out and illuminate the earth." The last thing Our Lady said to the two unschooled shepherd visionaries on the mountain of LaSalette was the charge not to keep it secret. "Well then, my children, you will pass this on to my whole people." That is what we endeavor to do here at the DailyCatholic and several other uncompromising traditional sites and publications and sedevacantist blogs that have sprouted up. We pray daily that those in the "Recognize-and-Resist" camps will connect the dots and quit trying to force square pegs into round holes in their fruitless efforts to justify that Mr. Jorge Bergoglio and his apostate predecessors since the death of His Holiness Pope Pius XII were actually "true Popes."

    Persevering in these times is not easy without the graces afforded only in the Traditional Latin Mass where only true priests can confect the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ through the transubstantion that takes place at the Consecration. All other ways are counterfeit. Chief among the counterfeiters is the Argentine apostate imposter posing as 'pope' in Rome, who, like his predecessors since 1958, are so taken with pleasing man that, through their words and actions have shown their true colors even though many are colorblind when it comes to black and white absolutes. The Argentinian Marxist's latest charade is allowing the SSPX priests to hear confessions in what he terms the 'Year of Mercy'. God have mercy on those who are so duped by this antichrist who seeks to relax all doctrines. Note this was all foretold by Our Lady at La Salette that "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist." Thus we must go against the grain, swim against the stream of comfort zones catering to the world, the flesh and the devil. That is why we have a duty, a Catholic responsibility before God to instruct the ignorant and, believe us, the majority are truly ignorant of what the Catholic Faith teaches. That is why, with so few true priests, it falls on the laity to counsel the doubtful while leaving the true sacraments to the true priests who are spread so thin. The same goes for comforting the sorrowful and there is plenty to be sorrowful for, not only if you read the daily headlines or hear the sound bites, but the void of grace in countless souls since the Holy Ghost long ago lifted protection of the church in Rome today due to the Modernists' infiltration and the Great Apostasy resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Because we march to a different drum and choose the narrow path over the wide path to destruction strewn with wilting roses. That's why we get a lot of rejection. That's why we could tear our hair out in frustration at the lack of conversions except we know that "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible". Therefore, as true Catholics, we must bear wrongs patiently and forgive all injuries. Finally, or should we say, first of all we cannot sustain this path unless we do as St. Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians, "Such confidence we have through Christ towards God. Not that we are sufficient to think of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God". That is why we are strongly encouraged to pray for the living and the dead in fulfilling our part of the Communion of Saints, something lost in today's pick-and-choose politically correct CONciLIAR church where the devil has ensconsed himself as is only too evident.

    In fact, It would seem the gates have shackled what to the world appears as the Catholic Church today, but in essence, is nothing but an evil imposter posing as Catholic while stripping her of all semblance of Catholicity. Yet so many remain blind, deaf and dumb to it all, going along to get along without realizing how wrong they are and how they will have to account for their actions or inactions at their Particular Judgment when it will be too late to make excuses or say 'I didn't know'. That is why we have continued to publish the DailyCatholic and link you to reliable, trusted sites so you can't say you didn't know. Yes, it means leaving the comfort zone you've erroneously grown accustomed to, but it's time all realized that we owe our allegiance not to men who violate the Faith, but to God and all that His holy Catholic Church passed down from Peter through the last true Pope - His Holiness Pope Pius XII of happy memory. Since then the wolves have invaded and engulfed souls in their wicked jaws. The six imposters you see here could never be true Popes as previous true Popes have decreed as is documented to the right.

    When you discover what the True Church teaches you'll realize that 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 - an arrogant, out-of-control, failing 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 His mercy in healing those willing to be healed, but He is also equally just and those who presume on His mercy may be left in the dust. Jesus identifies these proud modedrnists who have eclipsed the true Church quite clearly 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. Then we inform so the deaf may hear and the dumb speak out the truths from the rooftops. 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.

   I know you've heard this "song and dance" before of non-profits asking for money. The only problem is I can't sing and you don't want to see me dance. Therefore, with hat in hand I throw myself on the mercy of our readers to help keep this publication, with over twenty years of being on the world-wide web, on line for the specific purpose of saving souls. For the past two decades, through thick and thin, this editor has not taken a salary. It is a labor of love for the sake of converting souls to the truths and traditions of holy Mother Church as handed down from St. Peter through Pope Pius XII.

    We stand diametrically opposed to the Modernist trend made evident by the Second Vatican Council and all that has followed and now making itself so blatantly evident with the emergence of yet another false 'pope' in the line of the apostate Vatican 2 CONciLIAR anti-popes. Francis, better known as Mr. Jorge Bergoglio, has almost made it a habit of spewing heretical statements as a weekly occurrence. If you are now realizing this fact, it would behoove you to chip in and help those fighting in the trenches against the enemies of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Immaculate Mother Mary.

    The main reason I've combined the two months of July and August into our Annual Summer Hiatus edition is for financial reasons. Bottom line: The cupboard is empty and I'm scrambling to pay bills. That means I might have to come out of retirement job-wise and, at 73 years of age, drive for Uber or find some means of financing to stay above water. I realize times are tough and we're all being squeezed by higher prices everywhere while getting inferior or reduced products on the grocery shelves. As they say, without a piece of bread there is no peace of mind. I'm already thin, having adopted the one meal a day Lenten fast year round out of habit and a shrunken stomach years ago. So I can survive on the basics for I eat to live, not live to eat. Nevertheless, the bill collectors aren't going to give me a pass because I've dedicated my life to the Lord. No, they'll come after me and this traditional apostolate with all the fury they can muster because of who we are. Remember the IRS witchhunt on conservative non-profits? We have been a bonafide 501c3 non-profit since 1994 with nothing to hide.

    I find it so disheartening to see the obscene sums donated to corrupt politicians and yet so few give from their treasure to those non-profits like ours whose platform outlines everlasting life. It's truly an anomaly. We have our steady few benefactors that have been so loyal with monthly contributions ranging from maybe a dozen donations ranging from five, ten, and fifteen dollars each to a few twenty and twenty-five dollar gifts, two thirty dollar donations, one seventy dollar donation a few times a month, and one five-hundred dollar munificence a month. That adds up to around $850 a month with expenses over $1500 a month so you can see the predicament SANCTUS/DailyCatholic faces to make ends meet.

    I've always been uncomfortable asking for money for our own causes. Yet, when I see the six figure amounts Novus Ordo editors and Executive Directors are garnering with nary a question as to its unbalanced impropriety, I wince. Our Lord has said "A laborer is worth his wages" but there's a balance there where the top honchos don't horde it all while proceeds for the very mission are sparced out. I've never believed one should charge for promoting the true Faith. That is why we've never gone the subscription route. That is why we don't run ads. We want to keep the DailyCatholic as pure as possible. I can also proudly claim, thanks to our own scrutiny and God's graces, that we have never published anything contrary to the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church, and with confidence, can assure our readers that they are safe in the HomePort of the DailyCatholic pages as well as the links we provide for other trusted ports.

    I'm struck with awe of the advice the great Doctor of the Church St. Augustine passed down regarding almsgiving that you see directly below.

"Generosity will save a person from Eternal Death, it will even blot out any sin.....because Almsgiving is prayer...it brings graces, it cleanses the soul from guilt and punishment.....What good is faith without works, if we desert our fellow man in his need.?"

   Please don't desert the DailyCatholic and this traditional apostolate of SANCTUS. 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 traditional daily liturgy, devotional material, and inspirational articles we publish to gain the efficacious graces possible through their prayers at home. We remain the only publication in the world to provide the Propers every day of the year and are grateful to God that we can provide such nourishment for souls. We've decided to focus more on these aspects of our Catholic Faith and, for the most part, link the polemics of what is happening today in the Church and state.

    We urgently ask if you can contribute anything in these tight times, we would be so appreciative for the coffers are truly bare. Think of all the untold millions being thrown into the election process this year.If you've contributed to a campaign, can't you spare a crumb for this apostolate to convert apostates? If you are still in the category of the lukewarm, then you will pass over this plea and move on to the next thing that tickles your fancy. But if you truly want to commit, we offer you the opportunity below to put that commitment into action for the good of saving 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 a 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"? I thank you in advance for any donation you can send.

   This week, free of any martyrs' feasts, save for a few commemorations, could be considered a week of confessors except for two virgins, St. Rose of Viterbo on Sunday and the Virgin of virgins the Blessed Virgin Mary whose birthday we celebrate on Thursday in completing the Novena for her Nativity. Sunday signals the beginning of the Novena for the Most Holy Name of Mary, culminating next Monday, September 12 for truly the heavenly Father prepared from all time His immaculate vessel to be worthy to be the living tabernacle of His only-begotten Son Jesus Christ. On Friday we begin the Novena for the Seven Sorrows of the Most Sorrowful Mother, for God prepared her to share in the sufferings as well as joys in Jesus' life to show how closely connected the Mother was to the Son from being told in prophesy by Simeon of the swords that would pierce her heart to the sound of the tomb being slammed shut. Today our heavenly Mother knows our sorrows and joys and can relate better than anyone how much we hurt. That is why the Church says, "Go to Mary for consolation, for she is a loving Mother who understands and will intercede with her divine Son Who cannot say no to His Blessed Mother."

   The Pieta is the zenith of a life totally dedicated to her divine Son Whom she held for the last time. What mother cannot sympathize with that? Oh, the sorrows and the joys the Blessed Mother experienced - the lows of the Passion and the high of being the living Tabernacle and, after fulfilling her co-redemptrix role, being assumed into Heaven. She realizes, as she urges us to also understand, that there can be no glory without the Cross that we exalt this week. For more, see below.

    This week runs the gamut of Mary's life, so to speak, from the feast of her Holy Name, given to her by her parents Anne and Joachim, but really inspired by the heavenly Father from all time, to the feast of her Sorrowful Heart when we contemplate the seven dolors on the Ides of September. Outside of the Lenten season, these two days in mid September are the closest thing to the penitential time when we recall the triumph of St. Helena, through her excavation team, uncovering the true Cross on which Jesus was crucified. The next day we commisserate with Our Lady the seven sorrows she encountered just as Simeon foretold of the seven swords that would metaphorically pierce her Immaculate Heart. It is a time to reflect how close Mother and Son were throughout her life and to realize how the Cross encompasses our Christian life morning, noon, and night for Our Lord has asserted that unless we take up our crosses daily, we cannot be His disciples. To aid us in carrying these crosses God endows us with to strengthen us in our resolve to attain Heaven, He has given us His Own heavenly Mother to guide and intercede for us in every way if we but call upon her. Keeping with the theme of the cross, on Saturday we celebrate the Stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi when the holy founder of the Order of Friars Minor received the sacred wounds Christ manifested to St. Thomas in the upper room after His Resurrection.

   It's important to stay the narrow path as opposed to the wide road strewn with temporaral temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil that leads to the latter's permanent home - hell. That is why the Rosary is such a powerful deterrent in keeping us from opting for the wide path. It brings to mind the intention for this thirteenth Saturday in the Fifteen Saturdays Rosary Crusade where we pray for the salvation of souls that they, too, will seek the narrow road.

    To help us in deciding what direction our life will take as well as who to vote for we need only rely on God's right-hand man St. Michael the Archangel and call on the protection of Our Lady and the heavenly winged knight - he who is like God, quis ut Deus to protect us as the times grow darker from sin engulfing the world in every venue of life, snuffing out whatever sanctifying grace is available in the few true tabernacles around the world. Thanks to the apostate Giovanni Montin aka Paul 6, he abolished the powerful Prayer to St. Michael that His Holiness Pope Leo XIII composed after given a vision from Heaven of God and St. Michael negotiating with the Archangel's equal - the fallen angel Lucifer, aka satan, devil, beelsebub - evil of the highest degree. That prayer, part of the Leonine Prayers recited after every Low Mass in traditional chapels today was taken away from conciliar Catholics and with it, the protection afforded by God's most powerful right-hand guardian. We have seen the tragic results of this over the past 50 plus years, and these next forty days are an ideal opportunity to put our knees where our mouth is and pray and fast, knowing we have the head of God's mightiest army behind us. How can we lose? But we need to do our part that begins with staying in the state of sanctifying grace and uniting with the Blessed Virgin Mary by devoutly praying her holy Rosary as often as our states in lfe permit, hopefully daily, in order to fend off the demons that prowl throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls.

For more on the full prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII, see O Prince of the heavenly Host

Speaking of St. Michael, the Annual Fatima Conference will be held once again at Mount St. Michael's in Spokane this year from October 12-16 with this year's theme "Animam Pro Ovibus Ponere" - "To Give His Life for the Sheep." Registration must be made by Saturday, October 1.

    October 1st is the first of a Forty-Day and Forty-Night Prayer and Fasting Campaign leading to the national elections on November 8. If you want to see the pendulum swing back toward America as a God-fearing nation then it not only happens via prayer and penance, but also by action at the ballot box by voting out all who go against His Laws. First of all, it is a mortal sin to vote for any candidate who promotes or condones abortion. Therefore no Catholic can vote for a Democratic candidate since their platform embraces abortion as well as sodomy. If, in voting for candidates, for each one you see is not for returning God and morality, then don't vote for either because choosing the lesser of two evils is never justified. Rather, go the extra step to write in Jesus Christ as a way of protesting these candidates. Will Our Lord win? No, because not enough will do it to count. You might ask, but isn't that wasting your vote and therefore you have no right to complain when a worst candidate gets in? The world might think that, but God knows and, after all, that's all that counts. That is why the intention of perseverance is the final intention as we focus on the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and earth in this final Saturday of the Fifteen Saturdays Rosary Crusade. But we never cease praying as the 40-Days of Prayer and Fasting to elect candidates who will work to restore Christ as our Sovereign King.

"Generosity will save a person from Eternal Death, it will even blot out any sin.....because Almsgiving is prayer...it brings graces, it cleanses the soul from guilt and punishment.....What good is faith without works, if we desert our fellow man in his need.?"

    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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.

  Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,spare us, O Lord.
  Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Lord.
  Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,have mercy on us.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

And the Word was made flesh. And dwelt among us.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Ecce ancilla Domini. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

Et Verbum caro factum est. Et habitavit in nobis.

Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.
