Praying Time - Fortunino Matania (Italian, 1881–1963)
Barnhardt Podcast #163: Moloch vs. The Innocent
While I don't always agree with Miss Barnhardt on topics of interest I find this one interesting.
Prayer to St. Joseph / Oratio ad Sanctum Iosephum
Ad te beate Ioseph, in tribulatione nostra confugimus, atque, implorato Sponsae tuae sanctissimae auxilio, patrocinium quoque tuum fidenter exposcimus.
Per eam, quaesumus quae te cum immaculata Virgine Dei Genetrice coniunxit, caritatem, perque paternum, quo Puerum Iesum amplexus es, amorem, supplices deprecamur, ut ad hereditatem, quam Iesus Christus acquisivit Sanguine suo, benignus respicias, ac necessitatibus nostris tua virtute et ope succurras.
Tuere, o Custos providentissime divinae Familiae, Iesu Christi sobolem electam; prohibe a nobis, amantissime Pater, omnem errorum ac corruptelarum luem; propitius nobis, sospitator noster fortissime, in hoc cum potestate tenebrarum certamine e caelo adesto; et sicut olim Puerum Iesum e summo eripuisti vitae discrimine, ita nunc Ecclesiam sanctam Dei ab hostilibus insidiis atque ab omni adversitate defende: nosque singulos perpetuo tege patrocinio, ut ad tui exemplar et ope tua suffulti, sancte vivere, pie emori, sempiternamque in caelis beatitudinem assequi possimus. Amen.
To thee, O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our tribulations, and while imploring the aid of thy most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage also. By that love which united thee to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, and by the fatherly affection with which thou didst embrace the Infant Jesus, we humbly beseech thee graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased with His Blood and to help us in our necessities, by thy powerful intercession.
Protect, O most provident Guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen children of Jesus Christ; ward off from us, O most loving Father, all taint of error and corruption; graciously assist us from Heaven, O most powerful protector, in our struggle with the powers of darkness; and as thou didst once rescue the Child Jesus from imminent peril to His life, so now defend the Holy Church of God from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.
Shield each one of us with thy unceasing patronage that, imitating thy example and supported by thy aid, we may be enabled to live a good life, die a holy death, and secure everlasting happiness in Heaven. Amen.
Pray for Priests
"When people wish to destroy religion, they begin by attacking the priest, because where there is no longer any priest there is no sacrifice, and where there is no longer any sacrifice there is no religion."
--St. John Vianney

Sermon by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, August 22, 1976
′′ We will then go into catacombs, we will go anywhere, but we will continue to believe; we will not abandon our faith. We will be persecuted many, others were persecuted before us for their faith. We will not be the first, but we will at least give honor to our Lord to be his faithful, not to abandon him, not to betray him. This is what we need to do."

“All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principal to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds."

The Vacancy: The Catholic Church since Vatican II
This is a video that investigates the sweeping changes in the Roman Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). The recording is estimated to have been made in the latter half of the 1990s. Narrator: Mr. Richard Jamison.
Fridolin Assists with the Holy Mass (1833)
Fridolin Assists with the Holy Mass by Peter Fendi (Austrian, 1796 - 1842)
This watercolor illustrates a scene from "The Way to the Forge," a poem by Friedrich Schiller (1759 - 1805). Fridolin, a young page, is threatened with death by a villainous rival. On the way to an iron forge whose smiths have been ordered to throw him into the furnace, he stops at a country church and assists the priest in performing the Mass--a deed that saves his life.
Return of the NoNo Ordo
There are a small number of shepherds who teach and maintain the true Catholic faith. Then there are the many hirelings with no passion for speaking the true Gospel but would rather talk about sports, crack jokes, and show videos during homilies. The difference is quite clear between the shepherds and the hired help. Do yourself and your family a favor and don't go the NoNo Ordo.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John - John 10:11-16
At that time Jesus said to the Pharisees: I am the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep: and the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling, and he hath no care for the sheep. I am the good Shepherd: and I know Mine, and Mine know Me, as the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father: and I lay down My life for My sheep. And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
Catholicism vs. the Novus Ordo religion
Fr. Desposito lays out the basic tenets of the Roman Catholic religion, beginning with the nature of Faith and the so-called motives of credibility, which constitute the rational foundation of the Faith and so demonstrate that it is reasonable to believe. Father also explains the nature and purpose of the Church, how she teaches, and how Catholics must adhere to her doctrine.

The "NoNo" Ordo
There is the Mass of the Ages which is the unchanging true Catholic faith. Then there is the horribly irreverent protestant "service" full of liturgical abuses.
There are a small number of shepherds who teach and maintain the true Catholic faith. Then there are the many hirelings with no passion for speaking the true Gospel but would rather talk about sports, crack jokes, and show videos during homilies. The difference is quite clear between the shepherds and the hired help.
Quite simply, don't go to the "NoNo" Ordo which is not Catholic. Do the research. Attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where a holy Priest teaches the true faith. If you have to drive to attend, do it. If you have to move to another state so you can attend, do it.
