Traditional Holy Mass Proper Prayers for
The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

"All whatsoever you do in word or work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks to God and the Father by Jesus Christ our Lord," --- Blessed Apostle Saint Paul

>Commemoration Of Holy Martyrs Saint Abdon and Saint Sennen

The theme of the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost is to account for your stewardship before God, and then, man. In the Epistle we are reminded of our divine filiation, and Our Lord tells us, through a parable in today's Gospel, of the duties thereby entailed. We are the children of God, since we may say in all truth: Our Father ( Epistle ). God has given us life, "....wherefore we must life according to His will...." ( Collect ).

Just as this rich landowner who, before giving his son his share of the heritage, wishes to test his administrative capability, by entrusting to him things of little value, God, before making us His heirs in Heaven, has wished to test our fidelity by giving us the management on earth of both temporal and spiritual goods. But, like the steward mentioned by Jesus, we have been unfaithful, dissipating by sin the riches and talents which God entrusted to us.

Therefore, vying in zeal with the children of the world, the sons of light imitate the foresight of the steward who, by means of his father's riches, prepared friends unto himself. Turning to profitable use what God has given to us, let us do good, and especially by almsgiving let us secure the testimony which the poor will bear their benefactors at the moment when all will have to give an account of their stewardship to the divine Judge.

Saints Abdon and Sennen were Persians who, coming to Rome in the Third Century, courageously confessed the faith of Christ and were put to death in the persecution of Decius in 250.

The emperor Decius, enemy of Christians, had defeated the king of Persia and become master of several countries over which he reigned. He had already condemned to torture and death Saint Polychrome, with five members of his clergy. Saint Abdon and Saint Sennen, illustrious Persian dignitaries of the third century whom the king of Persia had highly honored, were secretly Christian; it was they who had taken up the body of the martyred bishop, which had been cast contemptuously before a temple of Saturn, to bury it at night, with honor. The two royal officials, now fallen under the domination of Rome, were grieved to witness the emperor’s cruelty towards the faithful, and believed it their duty to make known their love for Jesus Christ; thus, without fear of their new sovereign, they undertook by all possible means to spread and fortify the faith, to encourage the confessors and bury the martyrs.

Decius, learning of their dedication, was extremely irritated. He sent for the two brothers to appear before his tribunal, and attempted to win them over to sacrifice to the gods, by appealing to his recent victory as a sign of their favor. The Saints replied, however, that this victory was not at all a proof of such power, since the unique true God, Creator of Heaven and earth with His Son, Jesus Christ, gives victory to some and defeat to others, for reasons hidden in the designs of His providence. They said they could never adore any but Him, and Decius imprisoned them. Soon afterwards, when he learned of the death of the viceroy he had left to govern in his place at Rome, he returned to Rome and took his two captives with him to serve as splendid trophies of his Persian victory. In effect, these magistrates were wearing jewels and rich fabrics under their chains.

He arraigned them before the Senate, in whose presence they again testified to the divinity of Christ, saying they could adore no other. The next day they were flogged in the amphitheater; then two lions and four bears were released to devour them. But the beasts lay down at their feet and became their guardians, and no one dared approach for a time. Finally the prefect sent out gladiators to slay them with the sword, which with the permission of God was done. Their bodies remained three days without burial, but a subdeacon, who afterwards wrote their history, took them up and buried them on his own terrain.

Under Constantine the Great, their tombs were discovered by divine revelation and their relics reburied in the Pontian cemetery, which afterwards was called by their names. We see them in a picture of the catacombs, crowned by Our Lord Himself. Their glorious martyrdom occurred in the year 254.

EPISTLE ¤ Romans 8:12-17

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romanos
Fratres, Debitóres sumus non carni, ut secúndum carnem vivémus, Si enim secúndum carnem vixéritis, moriémini: si autem spiritu fatta carnis cavéritis, vivétis. Quicúmque enim spfrítu Dei agúntur, ii sunt filii Dei. Non enim accepístís spfritum servitútís iterum in timbre adoptíonis sed acceptíìstis spíritum adoptiónis fílìorum, in quo clamémus: Abba (Pater). Ipse enim Spiritus testimónium reddit spiritui nostro, quod sumus fffli Dei. Si autem Filii, et herédes: heredes quidem Dei, coherédes autem Christi.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Romans.
WWe are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; for if you live according to the flesh, you shall die but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. For whoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry, Abba (Father). For the Spirit Himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God and if sons, heirs also heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ.

GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 16:1-9

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discipulis sui pardbolam hanc: "Homo quidam erat dives, qui habébat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius. Et vocavit illum, et ait î11i: Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem villicatiónis tuae: jam enim non póteris villicare. Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia Dominus meus aufert a me villicatiónem? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubésco. Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos sues. Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domina sui, dicébat primo: Quantum debes domino me? At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quiquaginta. Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta. Et laudavit d6minus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudénter fecisset: quia filii hujus saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generati6ne sua sunt. Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, com defecéritis, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula."

† Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew
At that time Jesus calling His disciples together, He saith to them: "There was a certain man, who had a steward and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods; and he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for now thou canst be steward no longer, And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able: to beg I am ashamed. I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses, Therefore calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? But he said: A hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe my lord? Who said: A hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty. And the lord commended the unjust steward, as much as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings."

Homily The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost
Missa Suscépimus, Deus
30 July 2006 A.D.
by Father Louis J. Campbell
Qui legit, intelligat
"Freedom, and Where It Leads"

Acts 2:40

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Those who follow the siren of the world, the flesh and the devil do not realize their freedom has been usurped. As today's Epistle clarifies, true freedom can only be found for those who adhere to all that Jesus Christ taught and handed down to His Apostles in the true succession through Pope Pius XII, and that includes being willing to be persecuted for Him. Those of good will and sincerity who are faithful to His Church have true freedom. They are the ones St. Paul affirms are the "sons of God...heirs with Christ." They are the true stewards of the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church. Those who deviate one iota by subscribing to the Masonic doctrine have abdicated their authority to speak for Christ and His Mystical Bride and will have to give an account of their stewardship.

"Without the Church's sound doctrine on religious freedom our society is being led to its ruin. We think our enemies are in far off Iraq, or Iran, or North Korea. But our enemies are the secular humanists walking down the street behind us, working at the next desk, entertaining us on TV, representing us in government - working to persuade us that we don't need our faith in the God of Revelation and have no need to obey His Commandments. They have convinced many to accept the crime of abortion as a human right, that contraception is a normal part of every marriage, and that sodomy can be approved and homosexual unions recognized. But we are going down like Sodom and Gomorrah."

Note: In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Eighth Sunday After Pentecost, he illustrates clearly how the conciliar church shackled itself and its followers to the world, the flesh and the devil by subscribing to the Masonic doctrine promoted by the satanic United Nations which abhors the Social Kingship of Christ. Regardless of this fact, thanks to the liberties of Vatican II, the conciliar popes have plodded on to ransack the True Church of so much and jeopardize countless souls. Father shows the heresy of such actions that contradict not only Holy Writ, but the wisdom of previous reliable Roman Pontiffs such as Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII just to name a few. True to today's Gospel from St. Luke, these conciliarists have proven themselves unjust stewards for today's children of the evil one are wiser than those who should know better. Because of it, the Masonic-Protestant-Communist and Pagan manifestos have crept in and corrupted what was once holy. Therefore, in accord with last week's Gospel, these unfruitful branches and trees must be cut down and cast into the infernal fire. Father warns of the traps of mammon for they will entice and lure until you are trapped, then they will discard you for they are not of truth, but of lies, for they come from the father of lies - lucifer himself. True freedom is only possible with, for and of Christ, the Son of God, Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. Only united to Him can we be heirs with Him. That means we must bear up persecution and avoid the pitfalls so that when the day of our particular judgment arrives we can be judged as faithful stewards as Father explains in his sermon.

After revealing His Commandments to His people God told them, as recorded in the Book of Deuteronomy: "I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, heeding His voice, and holding fast to Him" ( Deuteronomy 30:19-20.

Blessed Apostle Saint Paul, in full agreement, tells us that we choose either to live according to the flesh, or according to the spirit. There is no other alternative. One choice leads to eternal death, the other to eternal life. All those who have rejected God's word revealed through Jesus Christ and taught by His Church are "debtors to the flesh," and are living "according to the flesh." They will lose their souls and die "the second death" ( Apocalypse 2:11 ).

When man speaks men are free to accept or reject. But when God speaks they are obliged to accept His word, and they refuse to believe at the expense of the loss of their souls. Contradicting the revealed word of God, man speaks in Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948):

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

This is freedom "according to the flesh," which does not lead to life. It is the Masonic doctrine of religious freedom which is accepted as legitimate by our modern Western democracies. This is not true freedom. True freedom comes with the acceptance of God's infallible word, for "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 8:32 ).

The foundations of true liberty are thus undermined. The Catholic Church has always been the staunch defender of true liberty. But the Church's teaching was abandoned by Vatican II when it lined itself up with the U.N. and its Masonic doctrine of freedom, declaring the freedom of all religions, and, in effect, no religion. People are freed from their obligation to worship the true God and obey Him. Human society is descending into chaos, and what remains of the sound structures of the past are crumbling fast. Christian Civilization is a thing of the past.

On December 7, 1965, Paul VI gave his signature to the Vatican II document Dignitatis Humanae, making official for the conciliar church the new heretical teaching on religious freedom. The document states:

"The Church therefore is being faithful to the truth of the gospel, and is following the way of Christ and the apostles when she recognizes, and gives support to, the principle of religious freedom as befitting the dignity of man and as being in accord with divine revelation… The Synod further declares that the right to religious freedom has its foundation in the very dignity of the human person, as this dignity is known through the revealed Word of God and by reason itself. This right of the human person to religious freedom is to be recognized in the constitutional law whereby society is governed. Thus it is to become a civil right."

Pope Leo XIII expresses the Church's traditional doctrine on Freedom of Religion, which is contrary to the teaching of Vatican II:

"Liberty is a power perfecting man, and hence should have truth and goodness for its object. But the character of goodness and truth cannot be changed at option. Those remain ever one and the same and are no less changeable than nature itself. If the mind assents to false opinions, and the will chooses and follows after what is wrong, neither can attain its native fullness, but both must fall from their native dignity to an abyss of corruption. Whatever, therefore, is opposed to virtue and truth, may not rightly be brought temptingly before the eye of man, much less sanctioned by the favor and protection of the law" ( Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, Nov. 1, 1885 ).

Pope Pius IX makes it clear that the new doctrine is not Catholic:

"They do not hesitate to put forward the view which is not only opposed to the Catholic Church, but very pernicious for the salvation of souls - an opinion which Gregory XVI, Our Predecessor, called absurd. This is the view that liberty of conscience and worship is the strict right of every man, a right which should be proclaimed and affirmed by law in every properly constituted state... When they rashly make these statements, they do not realize or recall to mind that they are advocating what St. Augustine calls a liberty of perdition" ( Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, Dec. 8, 1864 ).

Without the Church's sound doctrine on religious freedom our society is being led to its ruin. We think our enemies are in far off Iraq, or Iran, or North Korea. But our enemies are the secular humanists walking down the street behind us, working at the next desk, entertaining us on TV, representing us in government - working to persuade us that we don't need our faith in the God of Revelation and have no need to obey His Commandments. They have convinced many to accept the crime of abortion as a human right, that contraception is a normal part of every marriage, and that sodomy can be approved and homosexual unions recognized. But we are going down like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Part of the agenda of the enemies of true human society in their efforts to destroy the souls of the innocent is to promote immodesty in dress. Witness the gross immodesty of the movie stars and others entertainers. We view many of the movies, music videos, TV programs and ads at the risk of falling from grace. Nothing is off limits. The result is that the minds of the innocent are corrupted and they are swept into the cesspool of impurity that Our Lady warned us about through the children at Fatima. This has been planned for us - the corruption of our youth, the downfall of our country and our very civilization. Don't follow the example of the worldly who are on their way to Hell, but dress as true Christian men and women who take seriously the responsibility of saving their souls.

And where does true freedom lead us? "Now you have not received a spirit of bondage so as to be again in fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, by virtue of which we cry 'Abba! Father!' The Spirit Himself gives testimony to our spirit that we are sons of God. But if we are sons, we are heirs also: heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:15-17a). "Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, heeding His voice, and holding fast to Him" ( Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ).

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
