Wars and rumors of wars on the TLM and Summorum Pontificum”?

Yes. I think we must always keep our eyes on Christ. The enemy would love to distract us into seeing all these scandals and failures.

 

In our own time, Padre Pio too. "Pray, hope and don't worry".

 

Hah! I have to laugh at my own last post. I'm poor at prayer, a pessimist and a terrible worrier! St Pio, pray for us.

 

You are not alone.

 

Again
Throughout HS, my parents had friends who I knew attended the "underground" church. Did not take many questions to find our what that referred to.

 

I have yet to attend a High TL Mass but greatly sympathize!

 

It does get wearisome, AED, but then, Jesus commands us to take up our Cross and follow Him!

 

Our Blessed Mother said many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray for them and promised that there is no problem that cannot be solved by the prayer of the rosary. We are lifting our prayers up for the conversion of all of our families and all we pray for at Mass, and our prayers. We have Our Lady's promise! We have many holy priests saying God is going to intervene in a big way. The warning? Perhaps God is waiting and asking us to wait so as to show it was truly Divine intervention.

“The faults of children are not always imputed to the parents, especially when they have instructed them and given good example. Our Lord, in His wondrous Providence, allows children to break the hearts of devout fathers and mothers. Thus the decisions your children have made don’t make you a failure as a parent in God’s eyes. You are entitled to feel sorrow, but not necessarily guilt. Do not cease praying for your children; God’s grace can touch a hardened heart. Commend your children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. When parents pray the Rosary, at the end of each decade they should hold the Rosary aloft and say to her,’With these beads bind my children to your Immaculate Heart’, she will attend to their souls.” -St. Louise de Marillac

Jesus and Mary I trust in your promises!

 

Your post reminded of the very holy priest in the USA who has been telling people that the Warning is to come on March 25th.

 

And sisters & cousins?

 

Such an inspiring post, Sam!

 

Thank you Sam.

 

I remember my mom adding this to the end of her rosaries for years. And all 4 of us children (aged 26-37), after a couple briefly fell away then came back, are practicing Catholics.

 

Thank you, Sam. That lifts my spirits this morning.

 

Yesterday, I watched a video from Anthony Stine in which he discuses the possibility of additional restrictions on the TLM which we have discussed here on this thread. He stated that if it is not a rumor there is a good possibility that it will be officially announced on March 25th or maybe Ash Wednesday 2/22 because they seem to like to make their announcements on feast days and such. In any case, it would be a very good choice for the Warning.

edited to add: I just noticed a new video that he posted titled something like, “ The TLM and the reverent NO to be banned”. I’ll be watching that one very soon too, everyone here may want to do the same.

 

We need to avail ourselves of frequent Confessions in any case.

 

Astonishing times.

 

Yes, yes, yes.

 

Sam, that quote from St. Louise de Marillac was exactly what I needed to read today. She is my confirmation saint!
