VOLUNTEER?

 

ALWAYS THE SAME

“…He who possesses true virtue does not change nor is he disturbed by anything, like a rock in the midst of the sea beaten by raging waves. Let them despise you, let them slander you, let them mock you, let them call you hypocrites, false devotees: none of this takes away the peace of your soul; you love those who insult you just as much as those who praise you; do not cease, for this reason, to do them good and to protect them, even if they speak ill of you; continue in your prayers, in your confessions, in your communions, continue attending Holy Mass as if nothing had happened.”

St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars

THE WILL OF ISABEL THE CATHOLIC: THE GOOD TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS

Queen Isabel made her will at the castle of La Mota, in Medina del Campo, on October 12, 1504.

On November 23, she added a codicil, in Chapter XII of which she expresses her concern for the inhabitants of the newly discovered American lands.

Therefore, she asks her husband Ferdinand, her daughter Princess Juana, and her son-in-law Archduke Philip to ensure that the Indians are treated with justice and respect and to remember that the main purpose for which they have been granted the territories of the New World is evangelization:

"Whereas, at the time that the islands and mainland of the Ocean Sea, discovered and undiscovered, were granted to us by the Holy Apostolic See, our main intention was, while we begged Pope Alexander VI of good memory, who made us the said concession, to try to induce and bring the peoples therein and convert them to our Holy Catholic Faith, and to send to the said islands and mainland of the Ocean Sea pearls, religious men, clerics, and other learned and God-fearing people, to instruct the neighbors and inhabitants thereof in the Catholic Faith, and to teach and indoctrinate them good customs and to exercise due diligence in this regard, as more fully  In the Letters of the said concession it is contained, therefore I most affectionately implore the King, my Lord, and I charge and command the said Princess my daughter and the said Prince her husband, that they do and comply with this, and that this be their main objective, and that they exercise great diligence in this regard, and that they do not consent or allow the neighboring Indians and residents of the said Indies and mainland, conquered and yet to be conquered, to receive any harm in their persons or property; but I command that they be well and justly treated. And if they have received any harm, that they remedy and provide for it."

THE SCALES

For the truly wise, prosperity and adversity, wealth and poverty, health and sickness, honors and disdain, life and death are things that, in themselves, are neither desirable nor abhorrent. If they contribute to the glory of God and your eternal happiness, they are good and desirable; otherwise, they are evil and abhorrent.

Saint Robert Bellarmine

THE REAL CAUSE OF POLARIZATION

 

THIS IS THE MASS THAT SANCTIFIED THE CHURCH FOR CENTURIES

For centuries before 1970, this was the way Mass was celebrated throughout the world, the same Mass that nourished the souls of saints and sinners for centuries. The priest stood before the altar with the people, offering a sacrifice to God, present in the Blessed Sacrament reserved in the tabernacle. With the exception of the sermon to the people, the Mass was sung, chanted, or spoken entirely in Latin.

⚜️This is the Mass where St. Joseph of Cupertino was seen levitating.

⚜️This is the Mass that St. Gregory the Great inherited, developed, and solidified.

⚜️This is the Mass that St. Thomas Aquinas celebrated, wrote with love, and contributed to (he composed his own Mass and the Office for the Feast of Corpus Christi).

⚜️This is the Mass that Saint Louis IX, the King of France, attended three times a day.

⚜️This is the Mass that Saint Philip Neri had to distract himself from before celebrating it, because it so easily sent him into an ecstasy that lasted for hours.

⚜️This is the Mass that was first celebrated on the shores of the Americas by Spanish and French missionaries, as the North American Martyrs.

⚜️This is the Mass that priests said in secret in England and Ireland during the dark days of persecution, and this is the Mass that Blessed Miguel Pro Juárez risked his life to celebrate before being captured and martyred by the Mexican government.

⚜️This is the Mass that Blessed John Henry Newman said he would celebrate every waking moment of his life if he could.

⚜️This is the Mass that Father Frederick Faber called "the most beautiful thing this side of heaven."

⚜️This is the Mass so beloved by great artists such as Evelyn Waugh, David Jones, and Graham Greene that they mourned its loss with grief and alarm.

⚜️This is the Mass so revered that even non-Catholics such as Agatha Christie and Iris Murdoch came to its defense in the 1970s.

This is the Mass persecuted and fought against by modernism because it perfectly and unambiguously expresses holy Catholic doctrine and must be restored throughout the Church 

SAINT ATHANASIUS DIXIT

 "It will always be beneficial to strive to deepen the content of the ancient tradition, the doctrine and faith of the Catholic Church, as the Lord handed it down to us, as the apostles preached it, and as the Holy Fathers preserved it. Indeed, on it is the foundation of the Church, so that anyone who departs from this faith ceases to be a Christian and no longer deserves the name."

Saint Athanasius, Epistle to Serapion.
