PRAYER TO BEGIN By the sign of the Holy Cross, from our enemies delier us, Lord, our God. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. My Lord and my God: I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with deep reverence. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins and grace to make this time of prayer fruit. My Mother Immaculate, Saint Joseph, my father and lord, my guardian Angel: intercede for me. MEDITATION II. Monday of the III week of Advent. Of the Presentation of Our Lady in the Temple. POINT ONE. Consider the fervor with which the fathers of the Blessed Virgin offered her to God in the temple, being three years old, in fulfillment of the vow they had made before receiving her from the hand of the Lord, faithfully returning to her the precious …More
Vatican Nativity Unveiled in St. Peter’s Square: Today, the Vatican inaugurated the nativity scene and lit up the Christmas tree in St Peter’s Square. This year's nativity scene was created by the Diocese of Nocera Inferiore–Sarno, which has close links to St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori. His relics are venerated in Pagani, within the diocese. The nativity includes a figure of the saint, who founded the Redemptorists and wrote the Christmas hymn “Tu scendi dalle stelle”.
Il bellissimo Presepio Vaticano di quest’anno, con figure in legno intagliate a mano realizzate nella diocesi italiana di Nocera Inferiore-Sarno, è stato inaugurato questa sera. Comincia davvero a sembrare Natale!

I can't find one link from the SSPX showing the SSPX Chapels in Russia. Something is not right. I love the SSPX but they are not being honest when it comes to Russia. Not only that, but trying to search for a Chapel in Russia is impossible. They don't list even one, when I know there is at least two of them. Why don't they mention even one Chapel in Russia? Josef Schuztman has mentioned the one he attends and I believe another one in Russia. This is from a Russian site where they mention where the SSPX Chapels are. They list at least 3 in different cities. But not how many there are. The largest number of Brotherhood followers are concentrated in France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The Superior General of the Brotherhood is the Italian priest Davide Pagliarani, who succeeded Bishop Bernard Fellay. The Brotherhood's chapels of St. Pius X are also located in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Minsk. Священническое братство святого Пия X — Википедия
I remember my Mother Superior asking me once if I wanted to join the SSPX in France when I was having issues with the convent I was in.., I had no tolerance of the Novus Ordo and apparently that was a problem. I thought, it being a more traditional kind of convent they would be more like-minded to me, but apparently, I was quite alone in my traditional thinking.. me and the chaplain, and he was having disagreements with the Superior over it all. most of the time there was a daily TLM there, approved by the diocese, but the Superior also made it clear in her view "the Mass was the Mass". The other sisters, whatever their true thoughts were on the matter, never made it explicit they were in tune with my way of thinking. A torturous situation to be in over the long term, in a Carmelite convent where no two convents are alike, and there is outright persecution in the worldwide Church going on over this very issue.
The statue of the Apostle Andrew, by François Duquesnoy (1594–1643), in St. Peter’s Basilica is covered in dust. This detail was visible during the broadcast of the Eucharistic celebration for the Jubilee of Prisoners on 15 December, presided over by Pope Leo XIV. The Basilica of St. Peter is under the responsibility of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.

THE SANHEDRIN EMBASSY Fray Justo Pérez de Urbel Third Sunday of Advent The Baptist continues to fulfill his job as a pioneer, straightening the crooked paths and opening his hearts to the approaching light. It fulminates, exhorts, comforts and baptizes. They have not yet chained their hands or locked their voice between the walls of a basement. He lives on the banks of the Jordan, not far from Jericho, next to the entrance to the desert, where he has spent the years of his youth in mortification and fasting. But now the loner has become a director of men, the silent inhabitant of the jungle into a possible leader of villages. In all of Palestine there is only talk of his appearance. Up there, the fishermen of the lake entertain the forced waits of their office by repeating the words of the penitent; the pious Israelites begin to see in him a joyful hope, and even in the National Council of Israel, in the Sanhedrin, the Scriptures are stirred to look for some luminous text referring to …More
Sounds good, but, in truth, she wasn't very effective when she was in power, albeit, she may have been set up to fail and was deep-sixed by her own party.
It was “not so good” that Pope Francis had suppressed the traditional Roman Mass "in an authoritarian way," Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller said in an interview with journalist Michael Haynes. Pope Francis, Cardinal Müller said, had been "hurting and committing an injustice by accusing everyone who loves the older form of the rite of being against the Second Vatican Council in a general way, without any differentiating justice to single persons." The cardinal criticized what he sees as a double standard in the Vatican’s emphasis on dialogue and respect: "All the time they speak about dialogue and respect for other persons. When it comes to the homosexual agenda and gender ideology, they speak about respect—but toward their own people, they have no respect," he said. Cardinal Müller emphasized that the Church is like a family called to overcome internal tensions like brothers: "We do not have a police-state system in the Church, and we do not need one." And: "The Pope and the bishops …More
When an organization or group of people consider the actions of homosexual Bishops and Clergy as sinful, they become the bullseye, for they are divisive to the "Francis Agenda" Since the rank and file - all the way up to the Vatican Court, are Pro Francis , there is very little the SSPX can do to change the ungodly situation in the RCC. However, by continuing to bring to light all the felonious actions in today's Church, we can only pray for a miracle that the RCC goes bankrupt. Something all those bend over Cardinals should think about - Retirement funding. It would be advantageous if the Vatican made the SSPX Independent. However - a thought just came to mind SSPX - an independent Church without an Apostolic Line of Succession! They could do what the Vatican has been trying to do since kingdom come, and that is to re establish it via the Orthodox Church. Then after a while, petition to be a separate organization like what is granted to so many other Orthodox Groups. Fat Chance That …More
Blessed János Brenner: The “Hungarian Tarcisius” | Young Priest & Martyr for the Eucharist Blessed János Brenner (1931–1957) was a young Hungarian Cistercian priest and martyr whose short life shone with extraordinary love for Jesus and the Eucharist. Ordained at just 24, he became known for his joyful youth ministry, drawing many young people back to the faith during a time of harsh communist persecution in Hungary. Because his ministry threatened the authorities, János was targeted. In 1957, he was deceived by a false request to bring Holy Communion to a sick person. On his way through the woods, he was ambushed and stabbed 32 times. He was found the next day, dead — still clutching the Eucharist he had been carrying to the supposed dying person. For this reason, he is lovingly called the “Hungarian Tarcisius,” after the early Christian martyr who died protecting the Blessed Sacrament. Beatified by Pope Francis in 2018, Blessed János is a powerful witness to courage, purity of …More

Claire Lai, the daughter of 78-year-old Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, has spoken out for the first time about her father, who has been imprisoned under Hong Kong’s National Security Law for five years. The charge is “collusion with foreign forces.” According to Claire, her father is in rapidly declining health, suffering from diabetes, hypertension and infections, as well as severe weight loss. He lives in a windowless cell in heat, with no access to fresh air or sunlight. She says he has been denied regular medical care, the Eucharist and even his rosary. Yet his faith sustains him: he prays daily, reads the Gospel when permitted, and believes that God is with him. “He is innocent,” she says. “He has suffered enough. Unless something changes, he may become a martyr for freedom.”
