In addition, the Chapter is resolved henceforth, the better to render unto Almighty God the glory that is His due, and in order more profoundly to enter into the contemplation of His Sacred Mysteries, to celebrate the Sacred Liturgy - the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Divine Office, the sacraments, sacramentals and other rites - according to the older forms of the Roman rite according to the traditional Discalced Carmelite usages.

 

We must be clear that this decision is not a reaction to the abuse that has been visited upon us, even though we expect that it will occasion even more abuse from the same source. Rather, it is a positive recognition that has developed in our community over time that: "What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.  It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church\'s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place." (Benedict XVI, 7 July 2007) We believe this to be particularly true of those whose vocation is the contemplative life, ourselves included, and believe this to be something good that we can and should do for the Church in our times.

The Catholic Church was so much grander and more civilized before the materialist-marxist fools took over.
Our Lady of Victory, pray for us! In the name of Jesus we embrace all. Amen.

I pray for them and hope Bergoglio doesn’t determine to disperse the sisters and shut the convent down. He is doing a lot of that.
