#128 -- Coffee

I just had to check back over all the old posts to make sure we hadn't already done this one, and I see we haven't, so: COFFEE. Feelings about it? Love, loathing, indifference? Is it an important part of your life?

If you want, you can extend this prompt to: Daily Addictions. Have fun!

COMMUNICADO - With an Unofficial Translation

From the site of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei

Reference: http://www.ecclesiadei-pontcommissio.org/ then under: INFORMAZIONE document: 04/09/2008

Riconciliazione del gruppo Transalpine Redemptorists
(Redentoristi Transalpini)

Il Padre Gregory Wilson Rae Sim è tornato con la sua comunità alla piena comunione con la Chiesa Cattolica il 18 giugno 2008. Quest’atto di regolarizzazione è stato accettato da Sua Eminenza il Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, Presidente della Pontificia Commissione “Ecclesia Dei”. Padre Gregory aveva fondato un gruppo che si chiamava Transalpine Redemptorists (Redentoristi Transalpini) il 2 agosto 1988 sotto la guida di Sua Eccellenza Mons. Marcel Lefebvre e in quell’occasione ha preso il nome di Padre Michael Mary.

Adesso questa comunità è riconciliata con la Chiesa ed i tre sacerdoti membri sono stati regolarizzati. Come segno di questa piena comunione con la Chiesa Cattolica, hanno cambiato il nome in Figli del Santissimo Redentore e sono in cammino per l’approvazione del loro Istituto. La comunità conta 18 membri, tra i quali i tre sacerdoti, appena regolarizzati. Per le facoltà si procede “ad normam juris”. Da nove anni la comunità risiede nell’isola di Papa Stronsay nella diocesi di Aberdeen in Scozia.

(Translation from the Italian)

On 18 June 2008 Father Gregory Wilson Rae Sim returned with his community to full communion with the Catholic Church. This act of regularization was accepted by His Eminence Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos, President of the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei”. Father Gregory had founded a group called the Transalpine Redemptorists on 2 August 1988 under the guidance of His Excellency Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and on that occasion took the name of Father Michael Mary.
Now this community is reconciled to the Church and the three priests members have been regularized. As a sign of this full communion with the Catholic Church, they have changed their name to Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer and are on the way to the approval of their Institute. The community has 18 members, among whom are the three priests who have just been regularized. For faculties they will proceed “ad norman juris”. For nine years the community has had its seat on the island of Papa Stronsay in the Diocese of Aberdeen, Scotland.

WELCOME BACK TO SPIRITUAL SUNDAYS

We are grateful for the positive response we have gotten to this blog. Some say these are the best of times and these are the worst of times. With all that's going on in our world both good and bad, we need to seek God's guidance daily. We also need to be aware of happy and sad times in the lives of our blogging friends. I think it is wonderful how when someone has a serious problem that others

#127 - Miracle

The prompt this week is: miracle.

The Pro Papa League

Some of our friends have asked about Confiteor, a blogger who posted several comments on our blog in the past.

Confiteor asked a lot of pertinent questions and we tried to answer him on a few occasions.

Today he posted a comment that we bring to your attention:
Rev. Fathers and Brothers,

Your faithfulness to Tradition while answering the paternal call of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has transformed my thinking about the crisis in the Church, and how I respond to it in my own life.

Reflecting on these things and acting on your inspiration, I've launched a web-based project that I hope will contribute something positive to the Church.

If you view my blogger profile, you'll see links to two new blogs: Pro Papa Flagship and Pro Papa I. If you have a chance, please visit and leave a comment. God bless you!

Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Confiteor

I have been over to the Pro Papa League Flagship, where everything is ship-shape and ready for action. The idea of the League is to pray for the person of the Pope and to unite people in undertaking this pious work especially through the communication that is possible with blogs.

Mention is made of Sister Lucy to whom Our Lord said: "The Holy Father, pray much for the Holy Father!" The present Pope has received several vicious death threats from individual Moslems; this prompts the idea of a League of Prayer for the safety of Rome and the present Holy Father. Before the Battle of Lepanto, Moslems had said that St. Peter's would be used as a stable for the Sultan's horses. They hadn't planned on the power of prayer and the intercession of Our Lady.

Thank you Confiteor for the good example you give us in beginning this holy enterprise: Defence of the Pope through Masses and Rosaries.

God bless the Pro Papa League, its ships and those who sail them! May all your Masses, prayers and sacrifices for the Holy Father bear fruit in an end to the crisis in the Church.

We will place a link to the Pro Papa League on our blog.

Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R.
