Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life."
St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

Novena for the election of the Sovereign Pontiff



We need to start this Novena today, and that the Cardinals select a faithful, viligent, and strong successor.

VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come. From thy bright heavenly throne! Come, take possession of our souls. And make them all Thine own!

Thou who art called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above, the Living Spring, the Living Fire, Sweet Unction, and True Love!

Thou who are sevenfold in Thy grace, Finger of God's right hand, His Promise, teaching little ones to speak and understand!

O guide our minds with Thy blest light, with love our hearts inflame, and with Thy strength, which never decays, confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our hellish foe, True peace unto us bring, and through all perils guide us safe beneath Thy sacred wing.

Through Thee may we the Father know, through Thee the Eternal Son, and Thee the Spirit of them both Thrice blessed Three in One.

Now to the Father, and the Son Who rose from death, be glory given, with Thee, O Holy Comforter, henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.


V/Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created:
R/And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.


THE COLLECT OF THE MISSAL FOR THE ELECTION OF A POPE

O Lord, with suppliant humility, we entreat Thee, that in Thy boundless mercy Thou wouldst grant the most Holy Roman Church a Pontiff, who by his zeal for us, may be pleasing to Thee, and by his good government may ever be honoured by Thy people for the glory of Thy Name. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

V/Most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
R/pray for us who have recourse to thee!
V/Saint Pius V,
R/pray for us.
V/Saint Pius X,
R/pray for us.
