So I correct myself that the Infant Jesus does appear separate from, but near, Our Blessed Lady, the Mother of God, in Churches and Chapels. These are always clothed in regal garments, crown, cross and flowers and so on, placed high up as in these photos at the link. <br />http://sggresources.org/products/honor-a-saint-burn-a-candleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792743513997887548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-39842171595423979232016-02-04T13:53:15.510-08:002016-02-04T13:53:15.510-08:00As you wrote in ‘Double Agent’ regarding the video...As you wrote in ‘Double Agent’ regarding the video, “Anyone with even the slightest bit of knowledge regarding the True Faith will instantly see that this video is produced from Hell.” The Vicar of the Devil, Bergoglio, has consistently chipped away at the human family at the same time blaspheming the Holy Family at every turn. If this vile propaganda, depicting Christianity as “a fifty-cent plastic Infant Jesus doll” proffered in some man’s hands, was stripped of the backing of the wealth, prestige and power of the Vatican through a sycophantic world media, the Novus Bogus conglomerate would be marginalized as a fringe Satanic sect.

The baby Jesus was unrecognizable to me without His Mother Mary and St. Joseph within the Nativity scene. Further, whoever saw baby Jesus depicted without His Blessed Mother in paintings and sculptures, "Madonna and Child"! Never! To me, this erasure of the Mother of God together with all that you have reported here regarding Our Blessed Lady, points to the fact that the Novus Bogus religion’s end game is to get rid of the New Testament; there is no Christianity without Our Blessed Lady.

For in Unity of the Faith the foremost characteristic is of the truth of the Church shines forth, and it is thus that the Apostle Paul exhorts the Ephesians to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, by proclaiming that there is one Lord, on Faith, one Baptism (Ephes. 4:5) <br /><br />“With a glad mind, therefore, We have heard from the Society which I called “of the Atonement”, established in New York, that prayers have been proposed to be recited from the Feast of the Chair of the Blessed Peter at Rome to the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, in order that this aim of Unity might be obtained from the Lord, and at the same time We rejoice that these prayer, blessed by Pope Pius the Tenth, of recent memory and approved by the Bishops of America, have been circulated far and wide throughout the United States. And so, in order that th prayers above mentioned may be offered to God everywhere and with abundant frit for souls and thus the desired end may be more easily attained, We, having also consulted our Venerable Brethren, the Cardinal Inquisitors General of the Holy Roman Church, mercifully grant and bestow in the Lord a Plenary Indulgence and remission of their sins to each and all the faithful of Christ who from the eighteenth day of the month of January, the Festival of the Chair of Blessed Peter of Rome, until the twenty-fifth day f the same month, on which the Conversion of St. Paul is commemorated, shall recite once a day the prayers which are subjoined, and on the last day of this Octave, truly penitent and confessed and refreshed with Holy Communion, shall visit any Church or Public Oratory and there say these prayers to God for the concord of Christian rulers, the extirpation of heresies, the conversion of sinners and for the exaltation of our Holy Mother the Church… We mercifully grant in the Lord, that all these indulgences remissions of sin and relaxation of penances may be applied in behalf of the souls of the faithful of Christ detained in Purgatory. This present letter shall be in force forever, anything to the contrary not withstanding. The prayers, however, which are to be recited for the Unity of the Church during the Octave We have ordained, as above, are to be as follows and lest any changes might creep into them , We have decreed that a cop of them be kept in the archives of the Apostolic Briefs.<br /><br />Given at St. Peter’s Rome, under the seal of the Fisherman, the 25th of February, 1916, the second of Our Pontificate.”<br />Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-87926677752120508772016-01-20T18:23:38.582-08:002016-01-20T18:23:38.582-08:00PRAYER FOR UNITY AMONG TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS
(Adap...PRAYER FOR UNITY AMONG TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS<br />(Adapted From the Prayer of Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer)<br /><br /> O my Redeemer, will that terrible moment ever come, when but few Christians shall be left who are inspired by the spirit of faith, that moment when Thine indignation shall be provoked and Thy protection taken from us? Have our vices and our evil lives irrevocably moved Thy justice to take vengeance, perhaps this very day, upon Thy children? O Thou, the author and finisher of our faith, we beseech Thee, in the bitterness of our contrite and humbled hearts, not to suffer the fair light of faith to be extinguished in us. Remember Thy mercies of old, turn Thine eyes with compassion upon the vineyard planted by Thine own right hand, watered by the sweat of the Apostles, by the blood of countless martyrs and by the tears of so many sincere penitents. O Divine Mediator, look upon those zealous souls who raise their hearts to Thee and pray without ceasing for the maintenance of that most precious gift of Thine, the True Faith. Ah, keep us safe in the true Catholic and Roman Faith. Make us faithful to the traditions of our Holy Faith, passed down from the time of Thine Apostles as Thou didst teach it to them. Protect us in unity and keep us from all that will divide us from our Catholic Faith, from one another, and from Thee. Great is the deceit of Satan in trying to wrestle from our souls the peace and comforts of our holy religion. Banish his influence far from us, and make Saint Michael, Thy holy standard bearer, to stand strong in our defense. Let no outside force ever separate us, but rather send Thy grace that will move all hearts of children faithful to Thee and Thy traditions, ever closer to Thee and the ancient truths of Thy Church. Give us all a love for a Church united in heart, faith and devotion, and the courage to work toward that end. With this we can be strong and remain unmoved by even the fiercest of foes, for none is stronger than Thee, Our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember that the souls of unbelievers have been created by Thee, and formed to Thine own image and likeness. Behold, O Lord, how to Thy dishonor Hell is being filled with these same souls. Remember, O God, that for their salvation Thy Son Jesus Christ underwent a most cruel death. Do not permit, O Lord, that Thy Divine Son be any longer despised by unbelievers; but be appeased by the prayers of the Saints and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and forgetting their idolatry and unbelief, grant that they may at last come to acknowledge Thy Son Jesus Christ, Who is our salvation, Life and Resurrection, through Whom we have been saved and redeemed; to Whom be glory forever and ever.<br />People: Amen.<br /><br />Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary<br />Priest and People: O Blessed Mother of God, whose stainless heart is full of mercy and compassion, look down in pity upon those who have not yet heard the tidings of the Gospel. Remember that they are the work of the hands of thy Son that they have been created in His image and redeemed by His Most Precious Blood. Obtain for these poor brethren of ours the knowledge of our Holy Faith, and the grace to love, embrace, and to practice it faithfully. Intercede at the throne of the Most High, O Mother, that many more missionaries may be sent to pagan lands, there to win souls for thy Divine Son. O Virgin Mother of God, pray that all of us may soon be united in one and the same love. Attentive to the words of thy Divine Son, may we dwell in peace and happiness in the Church He instituted for our salvation. Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br /><br />Prayer to Saint Paul<br />Priest: O glorious Saint Paul, from a persecutor of the Christian name you became an Apostle of burning zeal, and in order that Jesus Christ might become known to the furthermost bounds of the earth, you joyfully suffered imprisonment, scourging, stoning, shipwreck, and every kind of persecution. Obtain for us now the grace to pray at all times for those who have not as yet been blessed with the gift of faith.

O God, Who dost manifest Thy mercy and compassion towards all peoples, have mercy upon the Jewish race, once Thy Chosen People. Thou didst select them alone out of all the nations of the world to be the custodians of Thy sacred teachings. From them Thou didst raise up Prophets and Patriarchs to announce the coming of the Redeemer. Thou didst will that Thine only Son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, should be a Jew according to the flesh, born of a Jewish maiden in the Land of Promise. Listen to the prayers we offer Thee today for the conversion of the Jewish people. Grant that they may come safely to a knowledge and love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah foretold by their Prophets and that they may walk with us in the way of salvation.<br />People: Amen.<br /><br />Prayer for the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion<br />Priest and People: God of all goodness and Father of mercies, we beseech Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and by the intercession of the Patriarchs and holy Apostles, to cast a look of compassion upon the children of Israel, that they may be brought to the knowledge of our only Savior, Jesus Christ, and may partake of the precious fruits of the Redemption. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br /><br /><br />Prayer to Saint Paul<br />Priest: O holy Apostle Paul of Tarsus, from your glorious place in heaven, look down upon the race you loved so well. True it is that many of them remained deaf to your ringing words of truth, and that some of them even stirred up persecution against you and your fellow believers, but you were so devoted to your people that you willed to become a castaway for the sake of their conversion. Now that you are glorious in heaven, obtain for your brethren the grace of repentance and conversion, so that they may finally take their rightful place in the great family of the Catholic Church.<br />People: Amen. <br />Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-42645319263856809462016-01-20T18:20:49.766-08:002016-01-20T18:20:49.766-08:00SIXTH DAY OF THE OCTAVE

Soften the hearts of those children of Thine who have strayed from the true paths, which Thou didst establish for their salvation. They are now forgetful of their duties as Catholics and pursue only the transitory pleasures of the world. Grant that they may speedily return to the practice of every Christian virtue, so that their lives may shine with the integrity of faith, the fervor of piety, and the ardor of charity. Restore all of them to Thy Sacraments and to the life of Thy grace, through the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Thy Son, Our Savior Jesus Christ.<br />People: Amen.<br />Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary<br />Priest and People: O Mother of Jesus Christ, and our Mother, we pray thee to obtain for us the grace of serving God faithfully in this world that we may have the happiness of loving Him eternally in heaven. Hear the prayers that we address to thee, O Mother. Defend us against the enemies of our salvation, and against our own infirmities. Obtain for us pardon for our sins and perseverance in the determination never to fall away again. We implore thee to take under thy protection those who have abandoned the practice of their Catholic duties. May they be converted again and become faithful servants of thy Son. O Mother of Mercy, be for us all “the cause of our joy,” and show unto us Jesus Christ, thy Son, as thy gift to us both for time and eternity. Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br />Prayer to Saint Peter<br />Priest: O glorious Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles and firm foundation of the Church, obtain for us a lively faith, which we may openly and fearlessly profess in its integrity and purity, even if need be, to the shedding of our blood. Obtain for us also a true love of our Holy Mother the Church, and make us zealous in the fulfillment of our religious duties. We pray to you today to intercede for those who have wandered from the Church which Christ established for their salvation.

O Divine Redeemer, of whom the prophet sang, “All the kings of the earth shall adore Him and all the nations shall serve Him,” extend to Thy Kingdom over the entire human race, but especially over our own beloved country.

We now implore thy powerful patronage for all people of our beloved land. The wicked serpent, against whom the first curse was hurled, continues fiercely to attack and ensnare the unhappy children of Eve. O Blessed Mother, our Queen and our advocate, who crushed the head of the enemy from the very first moment of thine existence, receive from us the prayers which we implore thee to present at the throne of God. Pray that we may never fall into the snares laid out for us, and that we may all arrive at the port of salvation. May the Church and Christian society, now in so many dangers, sing once again the hymn of deliverance, of victory, and of peace. Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br />Prayer to Saint John the Baptist<br />Priest: O most zealous messenger of God, Saint John the Baptist, while you worked no miracles on others, you drew after you crowds, to prepare them to receive Our Savior worthily and to listen to His heavenly teaching.

O most beloved Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast redeemed the world at the price of Thy Most Precious Blood, look down in Thy mercy upon the Christian peoples of Europe, who are still outside Thy Fold, and let the full blaze of the light of Thy truth shine upon them. Multiply, O God, the true messengers of Thy Gospel, inspire them with fervor, make them fruitful in good works, and bless with Thy grace their zeal and their labors, so that the separated Christians of Europe may be fully converted to Thee, their Creator and Redeemer.

Obtain for us, we pray, the grace to preserve entire in our hearts the Catholic Faith, and to seek the conversion to the faith of our Christian brethren, now separated from us, so that all may become Christians not only in word, but also in deed.

O Jesus, Good Shepherd, look down benignly upon the great and noble English nation. Converted to Thee through the labors of Saint Augustine and his companions, it was for many centuries rich in fruits of faith and sanctity. So devoted was this nation to Thy holy and Immaculate Mother that it was known throughout Christendom as the “Dowry of Mary.” When it was separated from Thee in cruel fashion, many hundreds of its people willingly shed their blood in testimony of their loyalty to Thee and Thy Church. O loving Shepherd of souls, recall this great nation once more to the unity of Thy Church, and grant peace of soul to all those now separated from Thy flock.<br />People: Amen.<br />Priest and People: O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and our own most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England, thy Dowry, and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. Through thee it was that Jesus, our Savior and our Hope, was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us, thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated English brethren, that they may be united with us in the One True Fold. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we may all deserve to see and praise God together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br /><br />Prayer to the English Martyrs<br />Priest: O glorious Martyrs of England, Saint Thomas More, Saint John Fisher and your companions, who to sustain the voice of the Supreme Head of the True Church against the decrees of your rulers, did willingly and courageously suffer death, pray now that the great nation to which you belonged may once more return to the bosom of the Church, from which it was so cruelly wrested.<br />People: Amen.<br /><br /><br />Prayer to the Blessed Virgin MaryIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-44202527666536323172016-01-20T18:14:19.735-08:002016-01-20T18:14:19.735-08:00Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Priest and Peopl...Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary<br />Priest and People: O Immaculate Virgin, who wast preserved by a singular privilege of grace from original sin, look down with pity upon our separated brethren, who are still thy children, and call them back to the Center of Unity. Many have, even from afar, preserved a most tender devotion towards thee. O Mother, reward them for their devotion by obtaining for them the grace of conversion. Victorious over the powers of hell from the very first moment of thine existence, renew, now that the necessity is more urgent, thy triumphant progress, as in ages past. Glorify thy Son, O Mother, by bringing back to the One Fold His straying sheep. And may it be thy glory, O Virgin, to banish error from the earth, to put an end to disunity and to restore peace to the world. Amen.<br /><br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br /><br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br /><br />Prayer to Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles<br /><br />Priest: O glorious Saint Peter, as a reward for your lively and generous faith, your profound and sincere humility, and your ardent love, you were singled out by Our Lord and endowed with the most special privileges. You were also constituted Prince of the Apostles with the primacy over the whole Church, of which you were made the Rock and theFoundation. Obtain for us, we pray, a lively faith and an ardent zeal so that all of us will labor for the return of our separated brethren. May the desire of Our Divine Redeemer, that there be but “one fold and one Shepherd,” be for us, as it was for you, the inspiration to work and pray for the return of those who are still outside the Fold. Strengthened by Divine Grace, may they be led back speedily to the bosom of our common Mother, the Catholic Church.<br />People: Amen.<br /><br />SECOND DAY OF THE OCTAVE <br />(January 19th)<br />Intention of the day: The Return of the Oriental Separatists to <br />Communion With the Apostolic See<br />Prayer for the reunion of East and West<br /><br />Priest: Let us pray. O Lord, Who hast united all nations in the confession of Thy Name, we pray Thee for the Christian peoples of the East. Mindful of the eminent place they have held in Thy Church, we beg of Thee to inspire them to occupy it again, so as to form with us one single fold. Grant that they, together with ourselves, may be penetrated with the teaching of those holy doctors of theirs, who are also our Fathers in the Faith. Grant us that the spirit of peace and charity, which is the mark of Thy presence among the faithful, may hasten the day in which their prayers may be united with ours, so that every people and every tongue may acknowledge and glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son.<br />People: Amen.<br /><br />Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary<br />Priest and People: O Immaculate Virgin Mary, we thy servants and children, full of confidence in thy powerful protection, humbly beseech thee to implore of the Holy Ghost the abundance of His gifts for our brethren, the separated Christians of the East. Enlightened by His vivifying grace, may they return to the bosom of the Catholic Church. We pray also that our Oriental brethren, once more united to us by the indissoluble bonds of the same faith and the same charity may, with us, glorify by the practice of good works, the most august Trinity, and at the same time pay homage to thee, O Virgin Mother of God, full of grace, now and forever. Amen.<br />Priest: Our Lady of Atonement, intercede for us.<br />People: That there may be fulfilled the prayer of thy Divine Son, “That all may be one.”<br />Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-49165996579169589792016-01-20T18:12:00.004-08:002016-01-20T18:12:00.004-08:00To My Readers:

Many thanks to Dr. Peter Lamb for passing them on and Traditionalist priest Fr. Francis Miller. Please keep them both in your prayers.<br />---Introibo<br /><br />PRAYERS FOR <br /><br />THE CHURCH UNITY <br /><br />OCTAVE<br /><br />(January 18 through 25)<br /><br />Introduced by <br />Archbishop James Francis Cardinal McIntyre<br />of Los Angeles.<br /><br />OCTAVE<br />(January 18 through 25)<br /><br />Order of commemoration:<br />1. Sing: Faith of Our Fathers P. 2<br />2. Recite the Unity Octave Prayer P. 2<br />3. Announce Intention of the Day<br />4. Prayer for Unity among Traditional Catholics P. 18<br />_____________________________<br /><br /><br />Faith of our Fathers, living still,<br />In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword!<br />O, how our hearts beat high with joy, When e’er we hear that glorious word!<br />Refrain<br />Faith of our Fathers, Holy Faith! <br />We will be true to thee till death!<br />Faith of our Fathers, Holy Faith! <br />We will be true to thee till death!<br /><br />Our Fathers, chained in prisons dark,<br />Where still in heart and conscience free.<br />How sweet would be their children’s fate,<br />If they, like them, could die for thee!<br />OFFICIAL OCTAVE PRAYER<br />(to be recited daily)<br /><br />ANTIPHON: That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in Me and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. <br />V. I say to thee that thou art Peter,<br />R. And upon this Rock I will build My Church.<br /><br />Let us pray<br /> Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst say to Thine Apostles: peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, look not upon my sins, but upon the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe unto Her that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God forever and ever. Amen.<br /><br />An indulgence of 300 days during the octave of prayers for the unity of the Church from the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter in Rome (Jan. 18) to the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul inclusive (Jan. 25). A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions at the end of the devout exercise. Raccolta #622.<br /><br />FIRST DAY OF THE OCTAVE<br />(January 18th)<br />The Feast of Saint Peter’s Chair at Rome<br />Intention of the Day: The Return of the “<br />Other Sheep” to the One Fold of Christ<br /><br />Prayer for the Return of the Other Sheep<br />Priest: Let us pray. O God, in Thy mercy Thou dost set aright those who have gone astray and Thou dost save those whom Thou hast gathered together. We beseech Thee to pour down upon all Christian people the grace of union with Thee, so that putting aside disunion and attaching themselves to the true shepherd of Thy Church, they may be able to serve Thee humbly and lovingly. Through Christ Our Lord.<br />People: Amen.<br />(Continued below)Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-35159413924571963712016-01-19T10:05:06.277-08:002016-01-19T10:05:06.277-08:00I think the third secret of Fatima has passed its ...I think the third secret of Fatima has passed its "sell by" date. If I remember correctly, Our Lady said the Pope was to consecrate Russia by 1960 - at the latest. Well 1960 is long gone and the consecration wasn't done. We had our chance and we blew it. Our Lord's arm is no longer held back and we are suffering the consequences. There's no Pope to do it now and now is too late, or why would She have set a deadline?Peter Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952041193215971470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-42451007311957648712016-01-19T05:26:19.806-08:002016-01-19T05:26:19.806-08:00The Blessed Virgin is a stumbling block for Masons...The Blessed Virgin is a stumbling block for Masons, i.e. modernists or pantheists who live nowadays in Vatican, even Luther was more devoted to the Holy Mother, go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-55791163349956490412016-01-19T03:09:55.251-08:002016-01-19T03:09:55.251-08:00Send me a comment along with contact info.

The ...Once again, we have another plausible theory. The problem is that with all the varying interpretations and the lack of a pope, it's hard to discern what the "true message" is really all about. I remember "Fr" Gruner warning us that Doomsday was about to hit unless the Consecration of Russia was performed by JP2 as far back as the late 1980s. <br /><br />Gruner had a lot to lose (in money and credibility) should he embrace sedevacantism. Therefore, the "True Message of Fatima" needed to be re-worked whenever it suited his needs.<br /><br />I believe that the Blessed Mother appeared there. However, it does not mean we have to accept every alleged word She supposedly spoke. Ratzinger did a good hatchet job on Fatima in 2000. <br /><br /> If the True Church says Fatima is worthy of belief (and She did), we should accept it. That does not mean we must accept every interpretation and conflicting ideas advanced about it.<br /><br /> We can safely hold onto the Five First Saturday devotions, the Rosary, making reparation for poor sinners, and recite the beautiful prayers that came to us from Fatima.<br /><br />As to the rest George, I think a "wait and see" approach is best. Let's concentrate on the preservation of the True Faith, Mass, and Sacraments--declining to fight over interpretations of a private revelation. God bless!<br /><br />---IntroiboIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.com
