As we walk in the light, let us grow in graces.  Before this  season, the accent was on eradicating sins, sinful tendencies,  and  faults . By all means, let us continue to  examine our consciences and pull up the weeds, but in addition, let us also work  on  acquiring  more and greater virtues  !

Happy  Easter, everyone!

I heartily commend looking  at the  section/tab of “Liturgical  notes “ for more information about the  peculiarities of the liturgy of this  Season.

.. here is a beautiful poem by  Mr. Brandon Campbell:

Saint Joseph, Mirror of Patience,

Wed of the Mother of God.

Blessed thou Light of Patriarchs,

 And blessed is the vigil of thy dreams – save Jesus!

Joseph most Just, Joseph most Chaste,

   Guide us from error to a happy death. 

Amen

To get the full flavour of this prayer, here is a note by its author:

““…the inspiration was clearly the Hail Mary prayer. “

Our  Lady strikes agian!

          On February 11,the Fraternity of Saint  Peter was solemnly consecrated to the I mmaculate Heart of Mary. In  preaprtion for thius  consécration,  from February 2 to 10, 2022  novena was  recited every day  by all the members of the Fraternity.

On February 11, the Holy Father then sent a decree signed by his own hand .

Decree of Pope Francis confirming the use of the liturgical books of 1962.
The Holy Father Francis grants to each and everyone of the members of the Society of Apostolic Life ” Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter “, founded on July 18, 1988 and declared “of pontifical right” by the Holy See, the faculty to celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass, to administer the sacraments and other sacred rites, and to perform the Divine Office, according to the typical editions of the liturgical books in force in the year 1962, that is to say the Missal, the Ritual, the Pontifical and the Roman Breviary.
They can use this faculty in their own churches and oratories; everywhere else, they will use it only with the consent of the local ordinary, except for the celebration of private Mass.
Without prejudice to what has been said above, the Holy Father suggests that, as far as possible, the provisions of the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes should also be taken into account.

… let us pray that just a God revealed Himself to the Magi, God also makes His wishes manifest to us on how serve Him best!

…as a time when the beautiful advent liturgy, truly inspiring reading sof the Holy Scriptures can push aside our concerns in these disturbing times, if we let it be so!

Let us therefore sing, ,pray,  and prepare spiritually for Christmas by the use of  the many customs of Advent!

..but there are also patches of light..  

After September 24^th  there  will be one more priest, celebrating the Tridentine  Mass, for on that day  Brother  Peter Mary of the  Congregation of Sons of the  Most Holy Redeemer will be ordained a priest.  On the following day Minor Orders will be conferred on two other Brothers of the Congregation of Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer.

Let us all sing Alleluia and ask God for graces of perseverance for these chosen souls in their  holy  vocation!
