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.

GO FIGURE!?


In the Traditional calendar, St. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, is honored on this day. She indeed to be venerated. I noticed, however, that in the 'New' calendar, it is reserved in honor of Pope St. Pius V. This is very interesting, since Vatican II and Pope Paul VI did exactly what this wonderful Pope condemned in the aftermath of the Council of Trent:

Pope St. Pius V said dogmatically and INFALLIBLY in Quo Primum, an infallible decree that was and is irrevocable, that:

"It shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal published by us...This present Constitution can never be revoked or modified, but shall forever remain valid and have force of Law...And if, nevertheless, anyone would ever dare attempt any action contrary to this Order of ours, handed down for all times, let him know that he has incurred the wrath of Almighty God, and the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul." Pius V, (Quo Primum, 07-14-1570)

Go figure, Huh?

By the way, Pope Pius V will be honored in the Traditional calendar on May 5.
