The King Needed a New Flag

Last week I hoisted a beautiful new flag that I had purchased from tradflags.com. It is a flag of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I pointed out that my existing Sacred Heart flag was looking tattered and faded.

So I ordered a new Sacred Heart flag from tradflags to match the Immaculate Heart flag.

Both are beautiful.

Viva Christo Rey! Viva Maria!

When All Else Fails

At a loss for topics tonight, I will simply reference St. Rita, her great favor with God, and her status as Patron of the Impossible.

Starting another novena soon. Send prayer intentions or, even better, commit to nine days of prayer and include my intentions in your kindness.

St. Rita, pray for us!

I’m Going to Start Issuing my own Motu Propria

Or is that Motibus Propriis? My in-house Latinist (my best friend and drinking Buddy) insists on the latter.

Check this out from the gang at CNA:

“Pope Francis (sic) Changes Canon Law on Opus Dei and Any Future Personal Prelatures”

The logical conclusion to which I am drawn is this. If the “changes to Canon Law” now place the Prelature on the level of a Society of Apostolic life, does that mean Opus Dei has been knocked down a peg or has the FSSP, another Society of Apostolic Life, been elevated?

Furthermore this:

“It also further defined the role of the prelate as a “moderator endowed with the faculties of an ordinary’.”

This could be nothing but it’s not. Looks like the Fraternity might not ever get a bishop as they’ve so long been promised.

Developing.

Friendly Reminder

An antipope can no more change canon Law than you or I or Loretta Lynn can.

I Still Can’t Get Over this WYD “Tabernacle” Story

In case you hadn’t seen it a few days ago, here’s a link to a post by NVP.

Acts of reparation are obviously required.

Sympathy

If I have a modicum of sympathy for Antipope Bergoglio it is in this…

I’ve had two previous spinal fusion surgeries. Every now and then I get terrible bouts of sciatica. I understand the Argentine suffers the same.

It is not a pain I wish upon anyone.

Our Lady, Health of Christians, pray for us!

Prayer Time (Again)

How did you observe the anniversary of the death of Saaaaiiiinttt Paul VI? JK. It was Transfiguration Sunday around here.

What good is having a trad audience if you can’t ask your friends to pray for an intention every now and then?

Ever thankful that so many of you read my daily musings, I ask you all who read this to lift up in prayer a friend of mine who is going through a particularly rough spot.

Thank you in advance!

Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!
