Commemoration of
The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Holy Cross - San Clemente, Rome
( Detail of Apse mosaic, 12th Century )
Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ~~ Philippians 2:5-11 We adore thee, O Most Holy Trinity, and on our knees, we humbly ask your blessing, for by thy cross thou hast redeemed the many.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but have everlasting life. ~~ Blessed Apostle Saint John 3:16
The feast was celebrated in Rome before the end of the 7th century. Its purpose is to commemorate the recovering of that portion of the Holy Cross which was preserved at Jerusalem, and which had fallen into the hands of the Persians. Emperor Heraclius recovered this precious relic and brought it back to Jerusalem on 3 May 629 A.D.
"....For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, ( being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you." ~~ 1 Corinthians 9:19-23

Et videns Jesus fidem iliórum, dixit paralytico: "Confíde, fíli, remittúntur tibi peccáta tua." Et ecce quidam de scribis dixérunt intra se: Hic blasphémat. Et cum vidísset Jesus cogitatiónes eórum, dixit: "Ut quid cogitátis mala in córdibus vestris? Quid est facílius dícere: Dimittúntur tibi peccáta tua: an dícere: Surge et ámbula? Ut autem sciátis, quia Fílius hóminis habet potestátem in terra dimitténdi peccáta," tunc ait paralytico: "Surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum suam." Et surréxit, et ábiit in domum suam. Vidéntes autem turbæ timuérunt, at glorificavérunt Deum, qui dedit potestátem talem homínibus. |

† A reading from the Holy Gospel by Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew †
A t that time, Jesus entering into a boat, passed over the water and came into His own city. And behold they brought Him one sick of the palsy lying on a bed and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the sick man of the palsy: "Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee." And behold some of the Scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: "Why do you think evil in your hearts? whether is it easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee or to say: Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins" (then said He to the man sick of the palsy): "Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house." And he rose, and went into his house. And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God, who had given such power to men. |
Homily For The Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost
October 8, 2006 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
The Preeminence of the Traditional Mass
While it stands to reason one would be foolish to choose a counterfeit painting over a masterpiece, it makes no sense that one would opt for a counterfeit, man-made synthetic, albeit gutted, useless and fruitless rite that gravely offends God to replace a divinely-ordained sublime Sacrifice that God Himself established as the only true worship acceptable in the New and Eternal Testament.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
The Mass for the eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost was at one time inserted in the Missal after Ember Saturday in September, one of the days upon which ordinations to the minor and major orders traditionally took place. The newly ordained priests usually celebrated their first Holy Mass on that Sunday.
Newly ordained priests in the Traditional Roman Rite were to take extreme care in the celebration of Holy Mass, particularly on the day when they were privileged to offer it for the first time. With trembling hands they picked up the bread and wine, which were to become the Body and Blood of the Lord. Carefully and distinctly they pronounced the words of consecration, fearing that some unfortunate mistake would affect the validity of the Mass. They were treading on Holy Ground.
Reverend Doctor Nicholas Gihr, quoting Pope Saint Leo the Great, and writing before the heretical teachings that were introduced into the Church with Vatican II, such as the new doctrine of the Two Valid Covenants, explains the significance of the Sacrifice of the God-Man, Jesus Christ:
-
"The offering of the bloody Sacrifice of the Cross constitutes the conclusion and crowning of the earthly, as well as the foundation of the heavenly, activity and efficacy of Christ for the salvation of mankind. - In the Sacrifice of the Cross all sacrifices prior to the coming of Christ have their fulfillment and by means of it have attained their end ( purpose ).
-
"'On the Cross there was but one sacrifice ( hostia singularis ) offered to God for the redemption of the world, and the death of Christ, the true sacrificial Lamb, announced so many centuries in advance, placed the children of promise in the liberty of faith. Then also was the New Covenant sealed, and the heirs of the eternal kingdom were inscribed with the blood of Christ. Then was evidently effected the transition from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from the many legal sacrifices to the one Sacrifice ( a multis sacrificiis ad unam hostiam ), in such a manner that, when the Lord gave up His spirit, the mystical veil which concealed the innermost part of the Temple and its holy mystery from view, was suddenly and violently rent in twain from top to bottom. Then truth abolished the figures ( figures veritas auferebat ), and the prophecies became superfluous after their fulfillment.'
-
"The tearing asunder of the veil before the entrance to the Holy of Holies of the Old Dispensation was a sign that the Old Covenant ceased when the New and eternal Covenant of grace had been instituted in the blood of Christ. With the ending of the Old Covenant, the ancient sacrifices also ceased, because they had become useless" ( The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, B. Herder Book Co., 1939, p. 79 ).
Father Gihr establishes the essential connection between the Blood of Christ, which He shed upon the Cross, and the Blood of the chalice which He offered at the Last Supper:
-
"Our Savior named His blood, contained and shed in the chalice, the blood of the New Testament ( Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 26:28 ). The word testament has here a twofold meaning; namely, covenant and legacy. - Christ is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises ( Hebrews 8:6 ), and that covenant is the new covenant of grace.
-
"This covenant was formed mainly at the Last Supper and at the same time sealed with Christ's Eucharistic Blood in the chalice; it then obtained by the shedding of the Blood of Christ its valid and complete confirmation. Thus Christ's Blood was equally as well in the chalice as on the Cross the Blood of the Covenant, that is, the Blood in which the new Covenant of Grace was established. Therefore, the Blood of Christ must not only not have first been sacrificed on the Cross, but previously offered in the chalice as sacrificial blood. This is required by the contrast here evidently made between the establishment of the old and the new covenants; for the words of our Savior: 'This is My Blood, the blood of the new covenant,' contain a distinct allusion to the words: 'This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you' ( Exodus 24:8 ), the words spoken by Moses after the establishment of the covenant of the Old Law, when he sprinkled the people with blood" (p. 96).
In the Roman ( Latin ) Rite only the Traditional Latin Mass is worthy of such exalted mysteries. The Traditional Mass schools us in the obedience of Jesus Christ, trains us in humility and the spirit of sacrifice, and raises us up to the portals of Heaven. We are freed from the wanton spirit of the world and made ready for the company of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints. We are freed from the heavy shackles of our sins and are enabled to take flight spiritually.
Father Gihr speaks of the heavenly banquet of the Eucharist in which we share:
-
"In connection with this Sacrifice there is spread a banquet - the Communion of the admirable Body and Blood of Christ. To partake of this food of God, to sit at this banquet of love, all indeed are invited; but among the attending guests, the honored and preferred are the 'poor' in spirit, the humble and the lowly, - in short, all that have emptied their hearts and divested them of the love of the goods of this earth, and who, therefore, hunger and thirst after the imperishable food of Heaven. These 'poor in spirit will eat' at the table of the Lord and be 'filled,' that is, they will be strengthened and consoled, be replenished with joy and be loaded with graces; refreshed and regaled with heavenly nourishment, 'they will sing praise to the Lord whom they sought,' and of whose unspeakable sweetness they have tasted. Therefore, their hearts will live eternally; for whosoever eats of the living and life-giving bread of the Eucharist 'will not die forever' ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 6 )" ( page 90-91 ).
Father Gihr finishes his monumental work on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with these words from the Apocalypse:
-
"To the Divine Lamb, Who was sacrificed for us and Who, with His Blood, hath purchased us from all tribes and languages and peoples and nations, be praise and honor and benediction and thanksgiving and power and glory for all eternity, Amen! Alleluia!" ( Apocalypse 5:6,9;19,14 ). †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE OF 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...

Inclinantes se, Domine, majestati Tuaee, propitiatus intende; ut, Qui divino munere sunt refecti, caelestibus semper nutriantur auxiliis. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum. Qui vivis et regnas in cum Deo Patri in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, unum Deum. Per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

L ook down, O Lord, in Thy mercy, upon those who bow before Thy majesty; that they who are refreshed by Thy divine gift may ever be sustained by heavenly aid, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with You Almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God; for ever and ever. Amen.
