Commemorating
The Feast Of Saint John de Britto,
Second Apostle to India
04 February 2007 Anno Domini

When he was a child,the soon to be King Don Pedro II of Portugal, had among his little pages a modest boy of rich and princely parents. The young John de Britto — for that was his name — had much to bear from his careless-living companions, to whom his holy life was a reproach. A severe illness made him turn for aid to Saint Francis Xavier, a Saint well loved by the Portuguese; and when he recovered, in answer to his prayers, his mother clothed him for a year in the tunic worn in those days by the Jesuit Fathers. From that time John’s heart burned to follow the example of the Apostle of India.
When he was fifteen years old, he entered on December 17, 1662, the Lisbon novitiate of the Society of Jesus, and eleven years later, despite the determined opposition of his family and the court, he left with twenty-seven Jesuit co-disciples for Madura. Blessed John’s mother, when she had learned that her son was going to India, used all her influence to prevent him from leaving his own country, and persuaded the Papal Nuncio to intervene. But the future martyr declared firmly: “God, who called me from the world into religious life, now calls me from Portugal to India. Not to respond to my vocation as I ought, would be to provoke the justice of God. As long as I live, I shall never cease to desire passage to India.” His ardent desire was fulfilled.
He labored in the Jesuit province of Madura, which included seven missions, preaching, converting, and baptizing multitudes, at the cost of privations, hardships, and persecutions. In 1682, struck by his success and his sanctity, his Jesuit Superiors entrusted to him the government of the entire province. To the wars of the local kings, which created ravages, disorder, pillage and death for the people, famine, pestilence, and floods came to add to the devastation of the unhappy land. Both the days and the nights of Saint John were dedicated to bringing aid to the poor Christians and pagans afflicted by so many disasters.
At times he took charge of entire populations which the wars had caused to migrate. All the Christians were pursued by bands of robbers, paid by the ruling elements to prevent any increase in the influence of the disciples of Christ. Saint John’s miracles helped him, and God preserved him from the snares of his many enemies.
After four years of this major responsibility, amid the anarchy which reigned, he was seized, tortured, and nearly massacred by the pagans, then banished from the local states. His Superiors sent him back to Europe to concern himself with the affairs of the missions of India. They wrote of him: “He has affronted every peril to save souls and extend the kingdom of Jesus Christ, for whose love he has been captured several times and condemned to frightful torments.” He preached in Portugal at the court and in the various dioceses and universities, without ever forgetting that he was a missionary of Madura, for which he recruited many generous workers for the Gospel vineyard.
He finally went back to the land of his choice in 1690 with twenty-five Jesuits, of whom several died during the voyage. The king of Portugal took every means to obtain his return to Portugal, if not as tutor to his son, which post he had declined, then as bishop of one of the Portuguese sees, but the Saint was occupied in baptizing thousands of catechumens and instructing the pagans whom grace had touched. The brahmans were alarmed once more and conjured his death; he was tracked everywhere, but the envoys could not take him for some time. Eventually they succeeded, and his great enemy, a local ruler, exiled him with orders to imprison him and kill him secretly.
Saint John de Britto's execution by decapitation was carried out in the sight of a multitude of Christians who knew of his coming martyrdom, and who saw him pray in an apparent ecstasy, which checked the executioner’s courage for a time. John told him, "My friend, I have prayed to God. On my part, I have done what I should do. Now do your part." He did. Saint John de Britto was beheaded and dismembered 11 February 1693 at Oreiour, India. The faithful buried him and have not ceased to pray at the tomb of this second Apostle to India.

EVANGELIUM / GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 13:24-30

† Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum. I n illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis parábolam hanc: Símile factum est regnum cælórum hómini, qui seminávit bonum semen in agro suo. Cum autem dormírent hómines, venit inimícus ejus, et superseminávit zizánia in médio trítici, et ábiit. Cum autem crevísset herba, et fructum fecísset, tunc apparuérunt et zizánia. Accedéntes autem servi patrisfamílias, dixérunt ei: Dómine, nonne bonum semen seminásti in agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizánia? Et ait illis: Inimícus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixérunt ei: Vis, imus, et collígimus ea? Et ait: Non: ne forte colligéntes zizánia, eradicétis simul cum eis et tríticum. Sínite útraque créscere usque ad messem, et in témpore messis dicam messóribus: Collígite primum zizánia, et alligáte ea in fascículos ad comburéndum, tríticum autem congregáte in hórreum meum.

† Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew At that time, when Jesus spoke this parable to the multitudes: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. But while men were asleep, his enemy came, and oversowed cockle among the wheat, and went his way. And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. And the servants of the good man of the house coming, said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle? And he said to them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? And he said, No: lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

Homily For The Fifth Sunday After The Epiphany

Qui legit, intelligat

"The Decline and Fall of the Civilization of Love "

Where God and His Church are excluded, and they certainly are excluded from the new world order which has overtaken us, in which secular humanist principles have replaced God's Commandments, can we expect a 'truly universal brotherhood' leading to a 'civilization of love'? What kind of 'fraternity' is embodied in the so-called 'great charters'? Only the inconstant fellowship of a fallen human nature, certainly not the true brotherhood shared by those who belong to the New Covenant sealed in the Blood of Christ. Then why does the 'church of Vatican II' place such strong hopes in secular powers and institutions ( aside from the fact that it appears to be part and parcel of the same )?

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

"....though the world is always singing songs about love, like "What the world needs now is love," it has no understanding of the love that is "poured forth in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us" ( Romans 5:5 ). As Hamlet says, "Ay, there's the rub." The love that "fulfills the Law" is the theological virtue of Charity, which comes with Sanctifying Grace given through Baptism to those who believe in Jesus Christ. Certainly love exists on the natural level, but it is the passing love that belongs to this creation, the noblest of natural virtues, but incapable of reaching the level of the supernatural without the presence of grace. Stand in the breeze and flap your arms all you want. You will never fly.

Earnestly flapping its arms, the conciliar church is currently telling us that "Love conquers all," and continues its fervent pleas for a "civilization of love," failing to make it clear that the love that builds the "City of God" must be more than the ordinary garden variety. In this sample quotation it appeals to the various "towers of Babel" that have raised their proud heads over us:

"At the dawn of a new millennium, there is growing hope that relationships between people will be increasingly inspired by the ideal of a truly universal brotherhood… The importance of fraternity is proclaimed in the great 'charters' of human rights; it is embodied in great international institutions, particularly the United Nations; and it is called for, as never before, by the process of globalization which is leading to a progressive unification of the economy, culture and society" ( Dialogue Between Cultures for a Civilization of Love and Peace, Papal Message for World Day of Peace, Jan. 1, 2001, 1 ).

Where God and His Church are excluded, and they certainly are excluded from the new world order which has overtaken us, in which secular humanist principles have replaced God's Commandments, can we expect a "truly universal brotherhood" leading to a "civilization of love"? What kind of "fraternity" is embodied in the so-called "great charters"? Only the inconstant fellowship of a fallen human nature, certainly not the true brotherhood shared by those who belong to the New Covenant sealed in the Blood of Christ. Then why does the "church of Vatican II" place such strong hopes in secular powers and institutions (aside from the fact that it appears to be part and parcel of the same)?

Imagine a flight about to take off from Los Angeles bound for New York City. The happy passengers look forward to landing in "the Big Apple" in a few hours. Unfortunately, the pilot has filed the wrong flight plan, and instead of flying east across the continental United States, he veers west over the Pacific Ocean. Most of the passengers are watching the in-flight movie, and are too busy slurping their martinis and double scotches to notice anything amiss. Only a few alert passengers are uneasy because they look out and can see nothing but water. When they warn the flight attendants, they are told, "Oh, the pilot has everything under control. We must be passing over Lake Michigan." As the thirsty engines lap up the last few gallons of gas, and the plane begins its nosedive into the cold waters of the Pacific, one of the flight attendants announces: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts. In a few moments we will be landing at Kennedy International Airport.'

This is a parable of the "Church of Vatican II." It may have a destination in mind, but it has filed the wrong flight plan. The Church must chart its course by the faith received from the Apostles, which it has jealously guarded and taught anew to each generation. The Church teaches that "outside the Church there is no salvation." But the "flight plan" of the "Church of Vatican II" is the doctrine of Universal Salvation, which tells us that we were all born in the state of original grace, EVERYONE is being saved, and there are many paths, all of which lead to Heaven. This was affirmed by John Paul II in his message for Mission Sunday, October 20, 2002, when he made this astonishing declaration:.

"Through evangelization, believers help people to realize that we are all brothers and sisters and, as pilgrims on this earth, although on different paths, we are all on our way to the common Homeland which God, through ways known only to Him, does not cease to indicate to us."

From this heretical doctrine flow disastrous consequences. It is the doctrine that gives wings to John Paul II's ambitious ecumenical program, and enables his initiatives towards secular institutions like the UN. It is not surprising that this UNIVERSALISM has taken root in the conciliar church, which is shot through with MODERNISM, since Pope St. Pius X described the Modernist heresy as "the synthesis of all heresies." ( see "Pascendi Dominici gregis" )

The doctrine of Universal Salvation has caused the almost total collapse of the Catholic Religion and its replacement by another religion, a new church not founded by Jesus Christ, but by the Vatican II innovators and the 'conciliar popes'.

They have forgotten who they are.

But lets get real! Like the plane that took off from LA International Airport and is now plunging to its destruction somewhere out over the Pacific, the flight plan of the conciliar church has a fatal flaw, and it is now beginning its final nosedive, even though its leaders continue to announce its imminent arrival in the neverland of love and peace. Those who put their confidence in the leadership of the conciliar church had better fasten their seatbelts. Better yet, let them return to the true Church, which still exists as a scattered remnant, where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of the Traditional Roman Rite and the ancient faith of our fathers may still be found. It will never be utterly destroyed.

In whom, then, do we place our trust? Like the disciples in the boat rocked by the storm, we cry out to Jesus, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" The same Jesus Who rebuked the wind and the sea will calm the present cyclone and restore His Holy Church. There is no "civilization of love" without Christ the King! Jesus Christ must reign as King of all Nations! Jesus Christ is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John.14:6 ). His Gospel must be preached and His commands obeyed! His is the Kingdom of love and peace! >

Christus Vincit! Christus Regnat! Christus Imperat!

Christ conquers! Christ reigns! Christ commands!

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...
