"All whatsoever you do in word or work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks to God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord"--- Blessed Apostle Saint Paul
"Let it not be as a murderer or a thief, a malefactor or a coveter of other men's goods that any of you suffer; but if it is for the name of Christian, let him be not ashamed, but glorify God in that name." --- Blessed Apostle Saint Peter ( First Epistle 4:15-16 )
† FEAST OF SAINT JOHN OF GOD †
St. John of God was born on March 8, 1495 in a small village in the south of Portugal called Montemor-o-Novo. At the age of eight, he left home and was raised by a Spanish family in Oropesa. John spent most of his life as a wanderer, working as a shepherd, soldier, a religious bookseller and laborer, traveling in Europe and North Africa.
When Saint John of God settled in Granada around the age of forty he was so deeply moved by a homily of Blessed John of Avila, that he gave away all his worldly possessions to the poor and went about the city beating his breast, begging for God’s mercy. His conversion experience was so dramatic in its intensity that he was locked up in a lunatic asylum, where he was flogged and placed in solitary confinement.
His brief experience of this kind of treatment made him feel very compassionate toward the poor, the sick and the suffering; thus, he devoted the rest of his life to caring for those in need. Saint John's work was motivated by his great love of God and Our Blessed Mother. "Whatsoever you do to one of these the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to Me." This was the yardstick John used to measure his service to others. John was a warm, loving person who created a warm, caring environment in his hospital.
People were impressed by Saint John's sincerity, his deep love for others, and his service to them. He was able, therefore, to tap their generosity and involve them in his work. They donated food and money and many volunteered to help him with his work. They called him John of God. Because he believed that everyone was equal in the sight of God, Saint John moved effortlessly across the social classes. He was as much at ease in the presence of royalty as he was with the sick and poor in his hospital. He created a family of Saint John of God, which consisted of the nobility, the middle-class, the poor, his volunteers and his paid staff, all with the sole purpose of serving God by serving those in need.
Saint John is the founder of the Order of Charity and the Order of Hospitaliers of Saint John of God. He is the patron of: booksellers, printers, publishers; heart patients, hospitals, nurses, the sick, the dying, alcoholics ( because a Dublin hospital for alcoholics was named after him ); Tultepec Mexico and firefighters.
His symbols include a Crown of thorns ( brought to him by the Blessed Mother ), an alms box, a crucifix, a rosary, holding a pomegranate.
Favorite Quotes -- Saint John of God
If we look forward to receiving God's mercy, we can never fail to do good so long as we have the strength. For if we share with the poor, out of love for God, whatever he has given to us, we shall receive according to his promise a hundredfold in eternal happiness. What a fine profit, what a blessed reward! With outstretched arms he begs us to turn toward him, to weep for our sins, and to become the servants of love, first for ourselves, then for our neighbors. Just as water extinguishes a fire, so love wipes away sin.
So many poor people come here that I very often wonder how we can care for them all, but Jesus Christ provides all things and nourishes everyone. Many of them come to the house of God, because the city of Granada is large and very cold, especially now in winter. More than a hundred and ten are now living here, sick and healthy, servants and pilgrims. Since this house is open to everyone, it receives the sick of every type and condition: the crippled, the disabled, lepers, mutes, the insane, paralytics, those suffering from scurvy and those bearing the afflictions of old age, many children, and above all countless pilgrims and travelers, who come here, and for whom we furnish the fire, water, and salt, as well as the utensils to cook their food. And for all of this no payment is requested, yet Christ provides.
I work here on borrowed money, a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ. And often my debts are so pressing that I dare not go out of the house for fear of being seized by my creditors. Whenever I see so many poor brothers and neighbors of mine suffering beyond their strength and overwhelmed with so many physical or mental ills which I cannot alleviate, then I become exceedingly sorrowful; but I trust in Christ, who knows my heart. And so I say, "Woe to the man who trusts in men rather than in Christ."

Léctio Epístolæ beati Pauli Apóstoli ad Thessalonicénses.
Fratres: Rogamus vos, et obsecramus in Domino Jesu ut, quemádmodum accepístis a nobis, quomodo oporteat vos ambulare et placére Deo, sic et ambulétis, ut abundétis magnis. Scitis enim quae praeminum Jesum. Haec est enim volúntas Dei, sanctification vestra : ut abstineatis vos a fornicatione, ut sciat unusquísque vestrum vas suum possidere in sanctificatióne, et honóre; non in passione desidéria, sicut et Gentes, quae ignorant Deum, ne quis supergrediatur, neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum : Quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus, sicut praediximus vobis, et testificati sumus. Non enim vocavit non Deus in immunditiam, sed in sanctificationem : in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

A reading from the Epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians.
Brethren: We pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification : that you should abstain from fornication, that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor; not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God : and that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business : because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification : in Christ Jesus our Lord.

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum †
I n illo tempore: Assumpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacóbum, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et duxit illos in montem excelsum seórsum : et tranfiguratus est ante eos. Et resplenduit facies ejus sicut sol : vestimenta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce apparuerunt illis Móyses et Elias cum eo loquentes. Respondens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum : "Domine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciamus hic tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Móysi unum, et Eliae unum." Adhuc eo Loquénte, ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens : "Hic est Filius neus dilectus, in Quo Mihi bene complacui : ipsum audite." Et audientes Discipuli, cecidérunt in faciam suaj, et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Jesus, et tétigit eos, dixitque eis : "Surgere, et Nólite timére." Levantes autem oculos suos, neminem vidérunt, nisi solum Jesum. Et descendentibus illis de monte, praecépít eis Jesus, dicens : "Nemini dixeritis visionem, donec Filius hóminis a mortuis resurgat." |

† A continuation of the Holy Gospel recorded by Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew †
A t that time, taketh Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart : and He was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun : and His garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with Him. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: "Lord, it is good for us to be here: If Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moss, and one for Elias." And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying : "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him." And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face and were very much afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said to them : "Arise, and fear not." And they lifting up their eyes saw no one, but only Jesus. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: "Tell the vision to no man till the Son of Man be risen from the dead." |
Homily For The Second Sunday Of Lent
12 March 2006 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
Of Bright Clouds and Modernist Fogs
The Dark Cloud that has hung over the Vatican for the past 48 years has done much to obscure the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church, clouding the minds and hearts of souls from realizing the simplicity and bright clarity of Catholic Truth. It is highly, highly doubtful that the Heavenly Father is pleased with the past five men who have occupied the Chair of Peter.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Peter, speaks to the Lord, Whom he sees engaged in conversation with Moses and Elias on the Mount of the Transfiguration, "Lord, it is good for us to be here," offering to set up three tents for our Lord and His celestial guests. This, "not knowing what he said," adds Blessed Apostle Saint Luke ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 9:33 ). No wonder, since God the Father spoke from a bright cloud that overshadowed them, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him." ( Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 17:1-9 ).
Clouds can be beautiful to behold as they float high in the sky above us, but fog can be confusing and dangerous. A reputed successor of Blessed Apostle Saint Peter, Benedict XVI, has recently published his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, which has been welcomed by many, but has also been described as "a masterpiece of Modernist obfuscation and fog" ( Thomas A. Droleskey, Ph.D., Teaching Us to Love Modernism and Modernity, Catholic Family News, March, 2006 ). Modernism, which seeks to adapt the unchanging doctrine of the Church to the ever-changing spirit of the times, is called "the synthesis of all heresies" by Pope Saint Pius X, who says of the Modernists:
-
"Although they express their astonishment that We should number them among the enemies of the Church, no one will be reasonably surprised that We should do so, if, leaving out of account the internal disposition of the soul, of which God alone is the Judge, he considers their tenets, their manner of speech and their action. Nor indeed would he be wrong in regarding them as the most pernicious of all the adversaries of the Church. For, as We have said, they put into operation their designs for her undoing, not from without but from within" ( Pascendi Dominici Gregis, On Modernism, September 8, 1907).
Droleskey comments:
-
"As the synthesis of all heresies, Modernism masks itself very cleverly in order to beguile and to confuse the average Catholic into believing that truly revolutionary novelties are completely in accord with the Deposit of Faith. It is no exaggeration to state that Modernism is the most pernicious of all heresies as it is sometimes very difficult to cut through the morass of Catholic-sounding verbiage, replete with Scriptural quotations, in order to discover the insidious influence of erroneous and/or heretical notions…."
-
"A Catholic must not delude himself into thinking that these so-called 'New Theologians,' who were really repackaged and re-labeled Modernists, do not exercise the preponderance of influence on the direction of the Church in the postconciliar era. Practically every aspect of the Faith is being redefined at present in light of the belief that there is nothing immutable in the nature of God's truths, no dogmatic declaration of the Church that is not capable of being revisited and hence 'updated,' no aspect of the Church's pastoral praxis which can be left untouched in order to continue a revolution that has devastated souls and given great offense to God Himself in the manner of the worship that is due Him in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass."
Speaking of the New Theologians, the Modernists who have influenced the mind of Benedict XVI, and whose influence can be detected in the new encyclical, Droleskey states:
-
"[I]t is to the late Hans Urs von Balthasar that goes the distinction of Modernist-in-Chief, if you will. Von Balthasar… promoted the fundamental heresy of Universal Salvation, the belief that all people, baptized and unbaptized, go to Heaven ( John Paul II's favorite theme - my comment ). As a result of his study of the new encyclical he concludes, "There is no doubt, therefore, that Deus Caritas Est and its discussion of God's love is the product of the heretical views of Hans Urs von Balthasar that God's love for man is such that no man will be damned for all eternity."
Benedict, who long before his election as "pope" was Josef Ratzinger, one of the "New Theologians" ( i.e., a "re-packaged Modernist"), is clearly a heretic. Benedict believes heresy, writes heresy, teaches heresy, leads bishops, priests and the Catholic faithful all over the world into heresy. What then must we conclude? The conclusion is inescapable, and we say this reluctantly, and sadly: There is no way that he can be the Vicar of Christ, the Sovereign Pontiff, the successor of Blessed Apostle Saint Peter.
According to the decree of Pope Paul IV:
-
"[I]f at any time it will be found that some bishop… conducting himself as an archbishop or patriarch… or… cardinal… or even a Roman Pontiff, before his promotion or assumption as cardinal or as Roman Pontiff, had deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy,… that promotion or assumption concerning him, even if made in concord and from the unanimous assent of all the cardinals, is null, void and worthless; [regardless of] the reception of consecration,… the ensuing possession of the office and administration,… the enthronement or homage of the Roman Pontiff, or the obedience given to him by all…" ( Pope Paul IV, Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio, 15 March, 1559 ).
No heretic can be pope; Benedict XVI is a heretic; therefore, Benedict XVI cannot be pope. It's as simple, and logical, as that. In short, to say that Benedict XVI is a heretic, which Droleskey clearly does in his article, is to say that he is not the pope. Yet he, like his fellow contributors to Traditionalist publications like Catholic Family News and The Remnant, continues to call him "the Holy Father," and to acknowledge the validity of his papacy, thus defying all logic. Perhaps, to that extent at least, despite their good work, their heads are in a fog too, or is there such a thing as a "brain cloud" after all?
Many of us believe that the true papal succession continued after the 1958 conclave, at which we believe Angelo Roncalli usurped the papal chair as John XXIII, but we don't know if it continues to this day. It is in God's hands now. Our present task is to watch and to pray. May our Father in Heaven overshadow us and speak to us from the bright cloud, as He spoke to Blessed Apostle Saint Peter, Blessed Apostle Saint James and Blessed Apostle Saint John: "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him." And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, "Arise, and do not be afraid." But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 17:5-8 ). †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
