Rosary to the Interior, 2019

As February 2 is known as the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so it seems a good day to particularly pray for the Purification of the Church.

The World Cometh: Democracy and the Spirit of the anti-Christ

Masses for Feb 2, Candlemas

February 2, 2019, is Candlemas, more technically known as the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus. Its a wonderful liturgy to attend (of course, all liturgies are special).

The liturgy begins with the Blessing of Candles. A procession follows, in which all carry lighted candles. New Advent explains thus:

The solemn procession represents the entry of Christ, who is the Light of the World, into the Temple of Jerusalem. It forms an essential part of the liturgical services of the day, and must be held in every parochial church where the required ministers can be had.

Furthermore:

While now the procession is held inside the church, during the Middle Ages the clergy left the church and visited the cemetery surrounding it. Upon the return of the procession a priest, carrying an image of the Holy Child, met it at the door and entered the church with the clergy, who sang the canticle of Zachary, "Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel".

Christmas Gift Idea: Masses

Thanks to a Friend for suggesting this terrific idea as a Christmas gift. How about a novena of Masses from Christmas Eve to New Years Day?

"This Christmas, give your loved ones the gift of nine days of Masses.  Enroll them in our Christmas Novena of Masses.

"From Christmas Eve until New Year's Day, Holy Mass will be offered for your family and friends at the Institute's US Headquarters."

Also, Rev. Matthew E. Pfeiffer, pastor of St. Paul Parish in Akron, is beginning a TLM on Fridays at 5:30pm. It starts on All Souls' Day. St. Paul's is located at 1580 Brown Street, Akron, OH, 44301.

We are so blessed in the Cleveland area to have such a widespread celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass.

We are reminded that The Feast of All Saints, on Thursday November 1st, is an Holy Day of Obligation. And although the Feast of All Souls, November 2nd, is not a day of precept, it is good and special and very much worth our presence at Holy Mass.
