"Nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Mass forever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words; it is a great action. The greatest action that can be on earth. It is. . .the vocation of the Eternal."

"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

The Church gives us today a true notion of Christian humility. The liturgy reminds us that the humble soul is blessed to recognize its nothingness only on this condition. Our sanctification is an impossible work if we undertake it alone, since our acts are only supernatural if they proceed from the Holy Ghost.

Left to ourselves, we are powerless and given to sin, it is to God that we owe its avoidance or its pardon, and that we are even able to pronounce the name of Jesus affirming His divinity ( Epistle ).

Wherefore, in the Gospel of the Pharisee and the Publican, the Master stigmatizes the pride which makes us put our trust in ourselves and always shows itself in our contempt for others. This pride is the enemy of God, for it attributes to itself the gifts which the Holy Ghost confers on each according to His pleasure ( Epistle ), and it therefore hinders His divine power from manifesting itself in us ( Collect ), since it makes us imagine that we need no help. The humble soul, on the contrary, is pleased to recognize its nothingness, knowing that it is only on this condition that the virtue of Christ will dwell in it.

Then will God always come to their help ( Introit ), He will open the ears of His Mercy to their prayers ( Collect ), and will not allow them to be tempted beyond their strength ( Epistle ).

Saint Hippolytus is one of the saints associated with Saint Lawrence, who baptized him, and whom he followed to martyrdom in 258 A.D. Saint Cassian, a schoolmaster was sentenced to death for being a Catholic. He was turned over to his pagan students who slowly and mercilessly tortured him to death for his devotion to the Most Holy Trinity.

EPISTLE ¤ 1 Corinthians 12:2-11

   Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios.
Fratres: Scitis quóniam cum Gentes essétis, ad simulácra muta prout ducebámini eúntes. Ideo notum vobis fácio, quod nemo, in Spíritu Dei loquens, licit anáthema Jesu, Et nemo potest dícere, Dóminus Jesus, nisi in Spíritu sancto. Divisiones vero gratiárum sunt, idem autem Spíritus. Et divisiónes ministratiónum sunt, idem autem Dóminus. Et divisiónes operatiónum sunt, idem vero Deus, qui operátur ómnia in ómnibus, Unicuíque autem datur manifestátio Spíritus ad utilitátem. Alii quidem per Spíritum datur sermo sapiéntiæ: álii autem sermo sciéntiæ secúndum eumdem Spíritum: álteri fides in eodem Spíritu: álii grátia sanitátum in uno Spíritu: álii operátio virtútum, alii prophetia, álii discrétio spíritum, álii génera linguárum, álii íterpretátio sermónum. Hæc autem ómnia operátor unus atque idem Spíritus, dívidens síngulis prout volt.

Lesson from the Epistle of the Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brethren, You know that, when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led, Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus and no man can say, The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit and there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh in all. And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom, and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another the grace of healing in one Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another the discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches. But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as He will.

GRADUAL ¤ Psalm 16:8, 2

    C ustódi me, Dómine, ut pupíllam óculi: sub umbra alárum tuárum protégé me. v. De vulto tuo judícium meum pródeat: óculi tui vídeant æquitátem. Allelúja, allelúja. v. Psalm 64:2 Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion: et tibi reddétur votum in Jerúsalem. Allelúja.

Keep me, O Lord, as the apple of Thine eye: protect me under the shadow of Thy wings. v. Let my judgment come forth from Thy countenance: let Thine eyes behold the thing that is equitable. Alleluia, alleluia. v. Psalm 64:2 A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem. Alleluia.

GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 18:9-14

   † Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus ad quosdam, qui in se confidébant tamquam justi, et aspernabántur céteros, parábolam istam: "Duo hómines ascénderunt in templum ut orárent: Unus pharisæsus, et alter publicánus. Pharisæus stans, haec apud se orabat; Deus grátias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut, céteri hóminum: captóres, injústi, adúlteri, velut étiam hic publicánus. Jejúno bis in sábbato: décimas do ómnium, quæ possídeo. Et publicánus a longe stans, nolébat nec óculus ad cælum leváre: sed percutiébat pectus suum, dicens: Deus, propítius esto mihi peccatóri, Dico vobís: domum suam ab illo: Descéndit hic justificátus in quid omnis qui se exáltat, humilibátur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur."

† Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others. "Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one was a pharisee, and the other a publican, The pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself. O God, I give Thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers as also is this publican. I fast twice in the week I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican standing afar off would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Homily The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost
Missa Cum Clamárem

13 August 2006 A.D.
by Father Louis J. Campbell
Qui legit, intelligat
"....If God has so loved us...."

1 John 4:11

It is a constant battle between the fierce roar of sin and the gentle whisper of grace. Which we choose determines our eternal destiny.

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

"The devil goes about "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." You can discern his presence by the horrors he leaves in his wake - hatred, anger, envy, jealousy, divisions, obsessive behavior, confusion - whereas the presence of the Holy Ghost can be discerned by the presence of love, peace, harmony, unity, and forgiveness."

Note: In Father Louis Campbell's homily for the Tenth Sunday After Pentecost, he points out how many Spiritual Gifts God has bestowed on His children, while so many of them take His gifts for granted - not realizing inside they are rotting sepulchres who castigate the pious, the poor, the publican. We can have all the talent in the world but if we do not have the peace of God and the graces available by adhering to the Divine Will, then we are prey for the roaring lion - the devil in disguise - who, through charlatans of every cloth, through shallow values, through false prophets and the godless secularism so prevalent everywhere today, we are defenseless against the fallen angel lucifer who transforms into the fanged mangy cat on the prowl for souls. Father Campbell reminds us how the evil one mocks God by imitating Him, appropriately called "....the ape of God...." whose screeching alerts the predators of perdition throughout the lustful and deadly quicksand of this world. To avoid the traps, to hover above the tangling vines within the jungle we live, we need the light of the Holy Ghost to protect and illuminate our way, to provide a safety net against the wiles and deceits of the devil. Only grace can do that, and God gives it so lovingly. Why are we such ungrateful stewards? Father wonders, especially in light of the promises of Our Lord.

We hear from Saint Paul in today's Epistle about the wonderful gifts that are bestowed upon the Church by the Holy Ghost. We all know about the Seven Gifts - Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety, and Fear of the Lord - that are received principally through the Sacrament of Confirmation. There are also Spiritual Gifts, or Charisms, which are given to individuals not for their own use, but for the building up of the Church.

The gifts of utterance of wisdom and utterance of knowledge, for instance, are given to preachers and teachers for the benefit of those who hear them, and the gift of healing, obviously, for the benefit of the sick. We have numerous examples of the use of the Spiritual Gifts from the lives of the Saints.

The Spiritual Gifts are always with the Church, since there is never a time when the Church does not need them. In the beginning they were needed for the establishment of the infant Church. Blessed Apostle Saint Peter, preaching on the first Pentecost, was filled with the gift of inspired preaching, and thousands were baptized on that first day. Later, even his shadow falling upon the sick when he was passing by was enough to heal them. Blessed Apostle Saint Paul, preaching by the power of the Spirit throughout the Mediterranean area, established churches at many locations, and wrote letters that still nourish Christians today.

We need the Spiritual Gifts especially now, since the Holy Mother Church is undergoing an unprecedented persecution, as we understand from the Scriptures, and can tell from the signs of the times. Her teaching is challenged even by those who hold the highest offices, so that it takes heroic efforts on the part of the faithful to preserve the ancient faith handed down from His Apostles.

The governments of the world, under the control of hidden power mongers and influenced by the godless secular humanism of the UN, are passing laws that make criminals out of Christians, particularly Catholics. Right thinking Canadians, for instance, faced with the horrible consequences of the gay "marriage" bill, C-38, are now being primed by the media to accept state regulation of religions. A commentary by Bob Ferguson on CBC radio calls for the introduction of a code of moral practice for religions, specifically Catholicism. "They will never achieve unity," he said, "so why not try for compatibility? Can't religious leaders agree to adjust doctrine so all religions can operate within the code?… we cannot take rules from our holy books and apply them to the modern world without democratic debate and due regard for the law" ( Ottawa, July 19, 2005, LifeSiteNews.com ). We must ask whose law are more important; God's Law, or man-made law.

One of the most important gifts is the distinguishing of spirits, or discernment, since we must test the spirits. Our Lord tells us that in the last times the false prophets will be able to work signs and wonders so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. The devil is "the ape of God," that is, he tries to imitate the works of God so as to deceive the unwary. For instance, goddess-worshipping Christian ( ? ) feminists of "herchurch" offer "services" with incense, bells and candles, and have come up with a "goddess rosary." They have concocted blasphemous parodies of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary: "Our mother who is within us," and "Hail Goddess, full of grace" ( herchurch.org ). Former Dominican Catholic priest Matthew Fox conducts a horrible parody of the Mass in which wiccan symbols and rituals are mixed with Catholic rites, and people gyrate and chant in a satanic dance.

Heresies abound.

Today they even come from the top, so we are in the worst possible situation. According to Cardinal Ciappi, who was household theologian to John Paul II, "In the Third Secret [of Fatima] it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top" ( quoted by Fr. Paul Kramer in The Devil's Final Battle, p. 33 ). But the heresies - Modernism, Universal Salvation, false ecumenism, the two covenants, the denial of Original Sin, and many more - must be recognized and pointed out by those who have discernment, so that the people can preserve their faith - pure and untainted - by the devil's doctrines. Indeed, if we did not know that the Church has the gift of indefectibility we would be tempted to despair of its eventual recovery.

The devil goes about "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." You can discern his presence by the horrors he leaves in his wake - hatred, anger, envy, jealousy, divisions, obsessive behavior, confusion - whereas the presence of the Holy Ghost can be discerned by the presence of love, peace, harmony, unity, and forgiveness.

The presence of the negative emotions of hatred, anger, resentment, and suchlike, is not sinful in itself unless we yield to them and allow them to influence our behavior, which then becomes irrational and destructive. Here especially is where the devil is able to take control of our lives to accomplish his evil purposes. We begin to accuse one another, to tear at one another, to create lack of trust and discord in the community. But what a wonderful victory you gain if you refuse to yield to such thoughts or to let them influence your attitude towards others.

"Strive for peace with all men," says Blessed Apostle Saint Paul, "and for that holiness without which no man will see God. Take heed lest anyone be wanting in the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and by it the many be defiled…" ( Hebrews 12:14,15 ).

Love, as we know, is the greatest of all the gifts. "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God," says Blessed Apostle Saint John. "And everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this has the love of God been shown in our case, that God has sent his only-begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. In this is the love, not that we have loved God, but that he has first loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John ( 1 ) 4:7-11 ).

How to we find love like that? We ask for it, says Our Lord: "For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened. But if one of you asks his father for a loaf, will he hand him a stone? Or for a fish, will he for a fish hand him a serpent? Or if he asks for an egg, will he hand him a scorpion? Therefore, if you, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Good Spirit to those who ask Him!" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 11:10-13 ).

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

PREFACE FOR THE Most Holy Trinity

   Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes: SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...

Prayer for the Universal Church

Pray for those who have been wandering and wondering in the conciliar desert for lo over 40 years. Pray for the conversion of the Novus Ordo hierarchy from the highest to the lowest echelons of the clergy, who, in the same manner as the Arian bishops, have apostasized from the True Church which Jesus Christ established on the Rock of Peter. Pray that they will wake from their devastating slumber, cast off their lukewarmness, and demand the unadulterated dogmatic Faith with no novelties, no ecumenism, no modernism, no anything but truly Catholic, embodied by true shepherds who will mandate the only possible Catholic worship - the true and continual sacrifice: the Traditional Latin Mass, set in stone for all time by Pope St. Pius V.

O God, our refuge and our strength, smite those failing to lead Thy Holy Church,
by and through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel; the immaculate Virgin Mother Mary; Beloved Saint Joseph; Thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul; and all the saints.
Hear our fervent prayers for more holy priests consecrated according to Thy will;
Provide Your Church leadership with the courage to convert all heretics, pagans, false idolaters and false god worshipers, and especially non-Catholics who refuse to accept the One True Church founded by Your Son and our Redeemer, Christ Jesus;
We pray for a sacred reformation of our Holy Mother Church - according to Your servant, Pope Pius XII in his Apostolic Constitution Sacramentum Ordinis.
We pray for these intercessions through the mercy and grace of Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Amen.

CALENDAR of the SAINTS

13 August 2006 A.D.


Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners


Saint Cassian of Imola
Schoolmaster at Imola, Italy who taught writing. During one of the many imperial persecutions he was ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods; he refused. He was turned over to his pagan students who tortured and stabbed hin to death at Imola, Italy in the 4th century; relics at Imola, Italy

Saint Benildus

Saint Cassian of Todi

Saint Centolla

Saint Concordia

Saint Francis of Pesaro

Saint Gertrude of Altenberg

size=4>Saint Helen
Spanish martyr with Saint Centolla; c.304 at Burgos, Spain.

Saint Herulph

Saint Hippolytus
Third century Roman soldier assigned to guard Christian prisoners. Converted by them to the faith. Martyred for assisting at the burial of some his martyred charges. Saint Hippolytus was strapped to two wild horses who were then turned loose to drag him to death; collected body fragments were buried along the Via Tiburtina, Rome, Italy.
Due to a clerical error, Saint Hippolytus was inadvertently listed as two people, Hippolytus of Rome and Hippolytus of Porto, on some calendars. The second entry had the feast day of 22 August. This problem was corrected in the calendar revision of 1969.


Blessed Jakob Gapp
Seventh child in the working class family of Martin Gapp and Antonia Wach. Received a basic education in his native town, then entered the Franciscan high school in Hall in 1910. Austrian soldier on the Italian front from May 1915 till he was wounded in 1916; received the silver medal of Courage Second Class. On 4 November 1918 he became a prisoner of war in Riva del Garda; released 18 August 1919.
Entered the Marianist novitiate at Greisinghof, Upper Austria in 1921. Assigned to the Marian Institute in Graz as a teacher and sacristan for four years, while preparing for the seminary. Made his profession at Antony, France on 27 August 1925. In September 1925 Jakob entered the International Marianist Seminary in Fribourg, Switzerland. Ordained by Bishop Marius Besson at Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Fribourg on 5 April 1930.
Back in Austria he worked as a teacher, director of religious education, and chaplain in Marianist schools till 1938. Economic conditions were terrible; Father Gapp collected food and other necessities from students, and gave his own heating coal to the poor.
Nazism was on the rise in Germany and Austria. Father Gapp saw the incompatibility of Nazism and Christianity, and began preaching this truth. When German troops arrived in Austria in March 1938, he left Graz. His superiors sent him home as they believed his anti-Nazi preaching would bring on the wrath of the Reich; but those institutions were already marked for destruction.
In Tirol he enjoyed the last moments of peace in his life. He was an assistant pastor in Breitenwang-Reutte for two months when the Gestapo, in October 1938, ordered him not to teach religion. Father Gapp taught uncompromising love for all men and women without reference to nationality or religion, and that "God is your God, not Adolf Hitler." In a sermon on 11 December 1938 he defended Pope Pius XI against the attacks of the Nazis, and directed the faithful of the parish to read Catholic literature instead of Nazi propaganda. He was advised to leave the country.
He escaped to Bordeaux, France, where he worked as a chaplain and librarian. In May 1939 he went to Spain where he served in the Marianist communities at San Sebastian, Cadiz and Valencia. The Gestapo had followed him, and in 1942 he received word of two people across the border in France who claimed to be Jews fleeing from Nazis in Berlin, and who wanted instruction in Catholicism. When he crossed into France to minister to him, they abducted him.
Father Gapp was arrested on 9 November 1942 in Hendaye, France, and brought to Berlin. On 2 July 1943 he was condemned to death for speaking against the Reich. Burial of his remains were denied as the Nazis feared he would be seen as a martyr, and his grave become a site of silent demonstration and rebellion. On the afternoon of 13 August 1943 he was advised he would executed that night. He wrote two moving farewell letters, and was guillotined at 7.08pm 13 August 1943 at Plotzensee Prison, Berlin, Germany; remains used for research at the Anatomical-Biological Institute of the University of Berlin

Saint John of Alvernia

Saint Junian

Saint Ludoiph

Saint Mark of Aviano

Saint Maximus the Confessor
Born to the Byzantine nobility. Chief secretary to Emperor Heraclius, a post he resigned yo become a monk at Chrysopolis. Spiritual student of Saint Sophronius. Abbot of Chrysopolis. His community broke up in 626 due to Persian invasion. Maximus fled to Alexandria, then Carthage, then Rome. Worked with Pope Martin I against Monothelist heresy, and attended the Lateran Council of 649.
Falsely accused of treason due to his defense of the orthodox faith, he was arrested and forcibly returned to Constantinople. He spent years in prison misery, and at age 82 received his final sentence: he was flogged, his tongue cut out, his right hand cut off, he was exhibited in the streets as an example to the people, and was sent into exile at Skhemeris on the Black Sea. He died on 13 August 662 at Batum near the Black Sea. He is best remembered today for his mystical, ascetical, and theological writings, and for his steadfast belief that the purpose of all history was the Incarnation.
Readings
The extremities of the earth, and all in every part of it who purely and rightly confess the Lord look directly towards the most holy Roman Church and its confession and faith, as it were to a sun of unfailing light, awaiting from it the bright radiance of the sacred dogmas of our Fathers according to what the six inspired and holy councils have purely and piously decreed, declaring most expressly the symbol of faith. For from the coming down of the incarnate Word amongst us, all the Churches in every part of the world have held that greatest Church alone as their base and foundation, seeing that according to the promise of Christ our Savior, the gates of hell do never prevail against it, that it has the keys of a right confession and faith in Him, that it opens the true and only religion to such as approach with piety, and shuts up and locks every heretical mouth that speaks injustice against the Most High. - Saint Maximus

Saint Nerses Glaietsi

Blessed Otto Neururer
Priest. Curate and religion teacher. Twelfth and youngest child of a peasant family; raised on a small farm with a mill. Otto's father died when the boy was still young. Otto was known as a brilliant but timid young man. He attended seminary at Brixen.
Nazis occupied the Tirol in 1938, at a time when Otto Neururer was parish priest in Gotzens, a village near Innsbruck. The occupation triggered a bloody persecution of the Church in Austria. Thousands of the faithful were harassed, interrogated by the Gestapo, imprisoned, thrown into concentration camps, and/or murdered. Otto, in his capacity as spiritual advisor to his parish, advised a local girl not to marry a divorced man who was leading a dissolute life. The man was a personal friend of the Gauleiter, the highest Nazi authority in Tirol, and Otto’s intervention brought down the wrath of the Nazis.
Neururer was arrested for "slander to the detriment of German marriage," and imprisoned in Dachau and Buchenwald. He suffered the abuse that was standard in these places, and was routinely tortured, but ministered to his new flock of fellow sufferers, even sharing his scant rations with prisoners weaker than himself. In Buchenwald he was approached by a prisoner who asked to be baptized. Otto suspected a trap, but felt he could not refuse. Two days later he was transferred to the "bunker", the place of extreme punishment, where he was hanged upside down until he died. He was the first priest to be murdered in a Nazi concentration camp; dying on 30 May 1940 at Buchenwald; relics ( urn of his ashes ) at Gotzens.


Pope Saint Pontian
Son of Calpurnius. 18th pope in 230. Ended the schism of Hippolytus and reconciled the schismatics with the Church. Exiled with Saint Hippolytus by emperor Maximinus Thrax to Sardinia and sentenced to work in the mines, he abdicated the papacy on 28 September 235 so a new man could lead the Church. Died 235 at Sardinia from the terrible treatment received in the mines. His remains were brought to Rome by Pope Saint Fabian and buried in the catacomb of Callistus.

Saint Radegunde

Saint Tikbon of Zadonsk

Saint Wigbert

Saint William Freeman

Prayer for Heretics and Schismatics
    Orémus et pro hæréticis et schismáticis: ut Deus et Dóminus noster éruat eos ab erróribus univérsis; et ad sanctam matrem Ecclésiam Cathólicam, atque Apostólicam revocáre dignétur. Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui salvas omnes, et néminem vis períre réspice ad ánimas diabólica fraude decéptas; ut omni hærética pravitáte depósita, errántium corda resipíscant, et ad veritátis tuæ rédeant unitátem. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Let us pray for heretics and schismatics, that our Lord and God may deliver them from all their errors, and vouchsafe to recall them to their holy Mother, the Catholic and Apostolic Church. Almighty, eternal God, Who dost save all, and willest not that any should perish, look upon the souls deceived by diabolical fraud, that, abandoning all heretical depravity, the hearts of the erring may regain sanity and return to the unity of truth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
