LAST WEEKS OF AUGUST for Thirteenth and Fourteenth Week after Pentecost (aug2015d.htm) featured on The DailyCatholic, a Traditional Catholic publication dedicated to perpetuating the One True Faith and preserving the Traditional Latin Mass in this time of the Great Apostasy by upholding the sedevacantist syllogism in order to Save All Necessary Catholic Traditions in the United States (SANCTUS) and preserve the Truths and Traditions of the Church founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock of Peter.
The Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden, plus an Ave rose each day.
Do we have the faith of the Samaritan leper to always give thanks for God's blessings? Do we believe we can serve two masters and still please God?
Haydock Commentary: Where are the others?
Fr. Benedict Hughes, CMRI: How grateful are we?
Con Job of Paul VI's "Authentic Tradition"
The theme of the gospels for the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Sundays Gospel can be summed up in the headline above for in Luke 17: 11-19, it is faith that Jesus rewards when lauds the only healed leper of ten, a Samaritan, who returned to give thanks after being made clean. Our Lord wondered aloud why the other nine did not give like gratitude via glory to God, but realized the faith of this grateful Samaritan when He said, "Arise, go thy way for thy faith hath made thee whole." The question is do we give thanks for the graces God has bestowed on us? Too often, we, as Traditional Catholics, can take for granted that we have the truth and we might fail to express thanksgiving daily for the great gift of discernment. We must be careful lest our faith would wilt within the overconfidence of thinking we have it made and need no more help, thus forgetting St. Paul's words to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. In the latter vein, we must take great care to continue to discern that what man reveres is not what we should. That is why Jesus says in Matthew 6: 24=33, "No man can serve two masters for he will hate the one and love the other, or he will sustain the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." There it is! It's One or the other. No exceptions. You can't straddle the fence. Either you are 100% Catholic or you're not Catholic! Period. Which do you choose? You must have full fidelity to all the holy Catholic Church teaches because Christ has revealed them, Who canst neither deceive or be deceived. If you have been deceived in any way, it's time to re-focus and see which Master you are serving. If it's not Jesus and His one true Church from St. Peter through His Holiness Pope Pius XII, you had better do a self-examination and pray for the grace to truly see your path will lead to a dead end.
We urge you to join the 15-week Rosary Crusade organized several years ago 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. We all need to continue to pray the Holy Rosary as often as our states in life permit. On the last day of August we will begin the nine-day Novena for the Holy Name of Maryaculate Heart of Mary leading to her feast on the Ninth Saturday of the 15 Saturdays Rosary Crusade where the intention, coinciding with the fourth sorrowful mystery - the Carrying of the Cross - is love of the Cross - for as Jesus says, "Unless you are willing to take up your cross and follow Me daily, you cannot be My disciple" Probably few times in history have Christians been more reviled than in our day when the godless seem to be stifling free speech and forcing more crosses on those who won't compromise with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We cannot let up and should not limit our Rosary to one day a week. In fact there is now a way where you can join others in praying the Holy Rosary on ROSARY CALL where Tom Gilbrough from Mt. St. Michael's in Spokane has set up a conference call every evening at 8 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. On the east coast this would be 11 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Central 10 p.m., and 9 p.m. Mountain time. Just call 712-775-7031 then, when answered, punch in access 393-323# You are encouraged to call in 5 to 10 minutes early to prepare to share the Holy Rosary with others. You can follow along with the prayers of the Rosary if you do not know them by going to Holy Rosary port The Rosary is the most powerful weapon we have. Connect those beads.
In these last nine days we complete the stanzas that comprise the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary during August. Meanwhile on Mary's feast on August 22, we began to bring you a true Treasure of Tradition in the 50 Ave's that will continue up through October 11. Each day we bring you one of the chapters of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's magnificent The Secret of the Rosary, signified by a rose on each bead composing the holy Rosary.
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 $3,000.00 but are still a little more than $2,000.00 short of our necessary goal to continue publishing. Actually, because we had not reached our goal in time, the debit is even more now. We desperately need donations and, as mentioned a several editions ago, 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.
Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you an eleven minute sermon given two years ago for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost by Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph Seminary at the City of Mary in Rathdrum, Idaho. Father reminds us of the importance of making visits to the Blessed Sacrament when and where the true Presence is available. He points out that if we do not have the opportunity to visit a chapel as such, however if we cannot, he emphasizes the advantage of making an hour of adoration in our homes, taking an hour a day to pray and adore Jesus even if He is not present in the Eucharistic Host, He is present with you and that is why if the faithful would pray at home, setting up their small shrines, and devote an hour a day to Our Lord. After all, did He not ask "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" Father shows how we can be like the Samaritan and be there for Jesus. Father asks How Grateful Are We?
The late Father James F. Wathen continues Chapter Three, appropriately labeled by the same as the title of his book "The Great Sacrilege" as he focuses on how Giovanni Montini and his henchman Annibale Bugnini duped the faithful by trying to get the masses to believe that this new Mess came from "Authentic Tradition" when, in truth, nothing could have been further from the truth and that this new vulgar concoction was devoid of the sacred and sacrifical nature, leaving Pandora's Box open for all kinds of aberrations that we have seen over the years. Through deviousness, secrecy and lies, the Mass of St. Pius V was turned into a Protestant/Masonic/Pagan service more suitable for the devil himself than devout souls seeking to assist at Holy Mass as we see in Part Six of Chapter Three The Con job of "Authentic Tradition"
