O Maria Virgine 1

O glorious Virgin Mary, in your Holy Rosary, you gave the Mystery of your Queenship of heaven & earth. The stars about your head, standing on the moon just as the picture shows. Grant that all who say your glorious mysteries today, may be granted a vision soon, of your beauty and your queenship of heaven and earth, that they may see and believe. I truly know you my mother and queen, but they have not yet seen, in Jesus name amen

O Maria Virgine, in Rosarii dedisti Reginae caeli & terrae uestrae singulare mysterium. Sidera circa caput tuum, stantes super luna sicut ostendit. Dicentes quod omnes tuae mysteriis hodie per visum concedi primum Reginae caeli et terrae tuae et ut videamus et credamus. O regina, mater scio vere, sed nondum vidi, in nomine Iesu amen

Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes February 11, 2013

Today was the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. From February 11 to July 16, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary came down eighteen times from heaven (Introit), and showed herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous (Collect), in the cave of the rock at Massabielle (Gradual). On March 25, she said to the little shepherdess of 14 years of age: "I am the Immaculate Conception." Today's feast therefore recalls Mary's triumph over the serpent (Tract) which the Septuagesimal liturgy has in mind. --- Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945
It was a powerful mass, the priest wore blue vestments, to honor our Queen, Our lady of Lourdes, he spoke in the language of Rome, not Italian but Latin, "we who celebrate the feast of the Apparition of the same holy Virgin, may obtain health both of soul and body",
I could see the infinite blessings of Mary flowing through the cross, over the head of the priest and out into the world....."in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus", when the priest said this, " in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God", I could feel the smiling face of Mary, AllOneGod.
---...the reading of the Epistle was from the last book of the Bible, Revelations, EPISTLE: Apocalypse 11: 10; 12: 1, 10 ...and spoke of Mary, Enthroned in heaven, The fifth mystery of the holy Rosary of the Virgin mother of God, our Lady of Lourdes, as she must of Appeared to St. Bernadette that night at the grotto at the cave at Lourdes, ": A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ."
The GRADUAL: Canticle of Canticles: 2. 12
Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra, tempus putationis advenit, vos turturis audita est in terra nostra. V. (Cant. 10, 14) Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni: columba mea in foraminibus petrae, in caverna maceriae.
The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. V. (Cant. 10, 14) Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come; my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall.
For truly she the beautiful one, with flowers, in the clefts and hollow places like the taste of an apple, with mint and the scent of sage brush after a rain, a hint of rosé.
Luke 1:37-38 was the gospel, and what good news, " And the angel said to her : Fear not, Mary, for thou has found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a Son : and thou shalt call His name Jesus."
Fear is illusion, There is nothing to fear because the power of god is everywhere, and the basic truth of God is Satchidananda existence knowledge and bliss( bless) so what is there to fear. Anger, bitterness, hatred, jealousy and fear these are the states of mind that hold us back and where there is God there is no fear because there is truth. And here in the Mass is truth, the truth of Christ's suffering, death and resurrection.
An Angel is a messenger and Angel is like an ow,l owl is the messenger of the animals... the owl lives in the night but it also lives in the day... it lives in that transition time between night and day... and the owl is the messenger of the Earth Mother...The angel is the messenger speaking to Mary telling Mary if there is nothing to fear that her soul, her reality is existence knowledge and blis. Sat Chid Ananda.
Now the angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and told her that she would conceive a son and his name would be Jesus. Mary was surprised that she would conceive because she had not known man. Now the lesson is we must all conceive, both men and women must conceive because the conception, the immaculate conception is the idea, and that idea is Jesus, that must be born in us we all are giving birth to the ideas of the divine consciousness. This is what I understood in the gospel of the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.
blessings! always

Father Joseph Terra on Pope Benedict's resignation

Fr Joseph Terra, FSSP spoke Monday February 11, 2013 on the news of Pope Benedict's resignation.

https://youtu.be/GDAlqQJR3zs?si=iv1gRS56GIi7VkoC

Fr Terra leads a catechism class each Monday evening after 630 PM mass. Fr Terra is with the Fraternal Society of St Peter FSSP, who formed under Pope JohnPaull II, minister to those attached to the Extra-Ordinary Form, the Traditional Latin Mass of 1962. Father Terra is a master tailor and makes holy vestments worn by many traditional Catholic priests. Father Terra explains that Pope Benedict is not the first Pope to resign, and he explains an earlier situation 600 years ago. Fr Terra hopes he will live long enough to see Pope Benedict recognized for his saintly and holy qualities. He believes that Pope Benedict is a Catholic hero whose strength is his honesty and humility.
     The truth is right beside him in the future St Kenneth Walker, soon saint to be. When we live with saints we don't know they are saints, yet they are. The next pope will be an ideologue, and the mass Father Terra loves, the mass of all time, preserved by Saint Marcel Lefebvre, will soon be banned. The novus ordo has no authentic mass. We should pray to the saints like St Lefebvre for the mass of all time.




Of course it is not about the mass it is about the faith. The novus ordo makes out we are playing dress up, like Germans in teepees, Vikings, civil war reenactment, or some kind of marvel comic cosplay. It's not about only the outside, it's also the inside. It's like a perogie dough on the outside, sour kraut cheese and potato inside. Even if the outside and inside are correct, you still need it fried in butter. For the butter you need milk. For the milk you need cows. For the cows you need farms and farmers, land and grass. The mass of all time is about the faith. Our faith is not logos. Logos came from the made flesh part of being alive. Our faith is not latin word cosplay. Faith comes from flesh and blood. Faith is about women with their heads covered in veils. Faith is about the women in long dresses with crying noisy babies at the mass of alltime. Why is faith about pierogies and crying babies? Because faith is not an idea. We are not ideas. We are not concepts. We are not abstractions. People pretend that the Catholic faith could exist without Catholic people. We are people. 




That ideologue Pope will be about defeating us as a people. To defeat us as people, the faith of us as people must be erased. His mission is about breaking the chain of faith that binds us together as a people, the mass of all time. Pope Benedict understood that because he saw in his own German people, in his own Germany, his own German people were erased by the guilt religion of '1945. A people can best be erased when their faith is erased. Symbols are like mirrors. Without a mirror we can not see our reflection and we forget we are here. The latin Tridentine mass is power. When the mass is banned the people who worship Jesus are diminished.

Hummus bit Tahini: Perfect Lenten Meal

       A traditional middle eastern dish. Hummus dipped in bread makes a great Lenten meal.
Beans with grain, in this example garbanzo beans with wheat pita bread, supply a complete protein.
       Traditional Catholics fast for the 40 days beginning with Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2013 through Easter Sunday. This tradition of fasting goes back to Oir Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. who fasted and prayed for 40 days  in the desert. 40 is an example of a sacred number, the Israelites journeyed for 40 years after leaving the bondage of Egypt, led by Moses and Aaron. The flood of Noah was a rain of forty days and nights. After Jesus rose from the dead, he remained with his disciples for 40 days before he ascended into heaven. So 40 is a sacred space, a sacred time we create by fasting and prayer. We are creating a sacred space in our lives. 
     This year 2013 is especially important time for we as Catholics to fast and pray. Our holy father, Pope Benedict has announced that effective the 28th day of February 2013 he will decline the office of Pope, and therefore there will be a conclave there will be an election of the new pontiff. So Pope Benedict in effect is resigning and We as Catholics must now pray for the next pope and of course pray for the Holy Spirit to enlighten the church and Mary are mother to guide the Cardinals who will elect the next pope.
