Maciej) is invoked in cases of intemperance since he preached very ardently the mortification of the flesh and the neeed for curbing one's passions. <br /><br />St. Joseph is also a great intercessor in all family trouble.<br />Apart from the beautiful and powerful Memorare to Our Lady by St. Bernard, there's also the Memorare to St. Joseph, this one is taken from a 1959 Hand Missal (in Polish):<br /><br />"Pomnij, o najczystszy Oblubieńcze Maryi, mój najmilszy opiekunie, Józefie święty, że nigdy nie słyszano, aby ktokolwiek wzywający twej opieki i twej pomocy błagający bez pociechy pozostał. Tą ufnością ożywiony przychodzę do ciebie i z całą ducha gorliwością tobie się polecam. Nie odrzucaj modlitwy mojej, przybrany ojcze Odkupiciela, ale racz ją przyjąć łaskawie i wysłuchać. Amen."<br />(500 dni odpustu)<br />---<br /><br />God Bless,<br />Joanna S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-88718757926827377082021-05-09T04:18:48.181-07:002021-05-09T04:18:48.181-07:00@anon2:29

For example, if a Protestant medical research doctor discovered a superior blood pressure medication, it doesn't make the medicine "Protestant Blood Pressure Medicine." Likewise, to celebrate mothers is something good and not inherently "Protestant" because the person who came up with the idea is Protestant.<br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />---IntroiboIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-53896091891056957572021-05-09T02:29:15.763-07:002021-05-09T02:29:15.763-07:00What's your stance on mother's day, invent...What's your stance on mother's day, invented by a methodist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-75779718163547258832021-05-08T13:50:48.255-07:002021-05-08T13:50:48.255-07:00Pawel,

She replied back politely by saying "No I am not interested in becoming a Traditional Catholic but thank you for asking" and I responded politely and said back "and I'm not interested in joining your festival where you will be falsely celebrating the ransom of Our Lord Jesus Christ in a heretical church." The call ended. I know that wasn't the best approach, but I wasn't in the mood that day.<br /><br />Lee Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-78063511895787406452021-05-04T15:38:10.749-07:002021-05-04T15:38:10.749-07:00Introibo, Ave Maria is in the New York City area....Introibo, Ave Maria is in the New York City area.

Pre-Vatican II we had missionaries to spread the Faith and we could (at the very least) help them monetarily. Now, what's left? We must know the Faith better than Catholics of the 1950s ever did. Any chance we have to introduce the Faith to someone must be utilized. If Jehovah's Witnesses can go door to door spreading lies, isn't this the LEAST we should do for the TRUTH? <br /><br />The whole raison d'etre of the "When Strangers Come Knocking" series is to equip Traditionalists to carry out the dictate of our first pope:<br />" But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15)<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />---IntroiboIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-14852259424245361842021-05-04T09:37:34.236-07:002021-05-04T09:37:34.236-07:00Tom A.

It is human nature not to stand out. I am sure in every other false religion, most of them are just as reluctant to proselytize. Yes there may be some exceptions. This reminds me of the criticism I always hear about traditionalist not being welcomed. Liberal NO parishes can be just as unwelcoming if you show up trying to behave traditional. Most of the time the visitor to a traditional parish is upset because no one greeted them at the door and the priest didn’t shake their hand after Mass. For them the whole Sunday experience should be focused on them. When it is not, they call it “unwelcoming.”Tom A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13680594973982446985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-80895466238640930102021-05-04T06:44:03.940-07:002021-05-04T06:44:03.940-07:00Keep up the good work Intriobo.
In my observance,...Keep up the good work Intriobo.<br /><br />In my observance, many (not all) Traditional Catholics aren't interested in converting non Catholics or (Novus Ordos) these days. They are not even friendly to newcomers at chapels/churches. Why that is, I don't know quite exactly but it seems they don't feel like they should go out of their way because in their mind it's either a "waste of time," a lack of trust in people, or a lack of confidence in themselves to articulate their faith (sometimes I'm guilty of this for the exception of the last reason).<br /><br />It seems like people today try to go out of their way to avoid confrontation (sometimes for good reason). It's almost like they laugh and criticize Francis for saying proselytism is solemn nonsense but in action they live by his words.<br /><br />What do you make of this? Should we try at every chance we get (within reason) or should we be suspicious of people because of the times we live in and if the opportunity comes, make our attempts to try to convince people at that point? <br /> <br />LeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-15707125105089217602021-05-03T15:35:09.029-07:002021-05-03T15:35:09.029-07:00Simon,
