Go to the  “Editorials” page  to see the  new article:

Traditional contemplative communities  – we need them and we have  them,  Deo gratias! (8-25-2019)

… is made very beautiful  by the  liturgical splendour with which it is celebrated.

Here is a sample – a verse from the hymn at  ad  Laudes.

Solis, o Virgo, rádiis amícta,
Bis caput senis redimíta stellis,
Luna cui præbet pédibus scabéllum
Inclita fulges.

Solis, o Virgo, rádiis amícta,
Bis caput senis redimíta stellis,
Luna cui præbet pédibus scabéllum
Inclita fulges.

It is also worthy of note that in five of the Hours of the  Divine Office,  the Little Chapters are taken from the Book of Judith, reminding us to go to Our Lady with confidence  for she is  a powerful  protector against the forces of  darkness.

Happy Feastday, everyone!

Our  Lord  Jesus Christs appeared on the mountaintop to three of his Holy Apostles with a radiant face in nn shining  white garments.

To us too, He appears, although  we do nto see Him with our bodily eyes,  at every l Holy Mass, h shining forth in the piece of  bread which becomes His  Body, clothed in the garments of the  splendour  of Traditional liturgy.

Let us rejoice that , in spite of many  attempts by the misguided ,  by the grace of God this has not been taken  away from us!

..let us listen  to Saint Bonaventura!

Because we are now come to the sweet Heart of Jesus, and because it is good for us to be here, let us not too soon turn away therefrom. O how good and joyful a thing it is to dwell in this Heart. What a good treasure, what a precious pearl, is thy Heart, O most excellent Jesu, which we have found hidden in the pit which hath been dug in this field, namely, in thy body. Who would cast away such a pearl? Nay, rather, for this same I would give all my pearls. I will sell all my thoughts and affections, and buy the same for myself, turning all my thoughts to the Heart of the good Jesus, and without fail it will support me. Therefore, o most sweet Jesus, finding this Heart that is thine and mine, I will pray to thee, my God: admit my prayers into the shrine of hearkening: and draw me even more altogether into thy Heart.

(ad Matutinum, Lesson 8)

This will give you the history of Saint  László and the miracles at  Mátraverebély.

MátraverebélyMátraverebély

Saint  László is regarded as the Patron Saint of Hungarian soldiers. See them celebrating the  Feastday of Saint  László in  Győr?

Holy  Mass   on the Feastday of Saint  László in Győr

Procession on the Feastday of Saint  László in Győr

May God is His mercy give us as courageous leaders in the Church as Saint  László, to defend the faith and may Saint  László protect and inspire those  prelates  priests and laity who act with courage in these critical times!

Those reciting the Divine Office  (either as  a mandated  duty for clergy and contemplative religious,  as  an option for  laity) were  reading texts by the Doctors of the Church about the significance  of  this Feast for 9 days,  very helpful  to deepen one’ s understanding  of the faith .
