EASTER, MARCH 31st., 2012

REJOICE AND BE GLAD, O VIRGIN MARY! ALLELUIA! FOR THE SON WHICH YOU LOVEST- ALLELUIA! IS GLORIOUSLY RISEN FROM THE DEAD! ALLELUIA! Mighty Victim from the sky, Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall: Thou hast… (more…)

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

When Our Blessed Lord instituted the Eucharist He left nothing to chance. It is interesting that Judas had left the Last Supper when Christ ordained His apostles in the continuing sacrifice; That same sacrifice of Christ upon the Cross of Calvary, but in an unbloody manner. When Our Lord said, “Do this in remembrance of Me,” the actual word in… (more…)
