New world order plan has failed.

We will get chaos and disorder.  Please don't suggest that chaos was their plan all along,

I don't know how much the Freemasons have to do with the New world order but their motto is "order out of chaos

Esther was the King's (forgot his name) favorite wife.  He also forgot who she was because he had so many.

Quote from: Southern Ascetic on March 27, 2024, 05:26:25 PMThis translation of the Third Spiritual Alphabet is also very good. If you're into Carmelite spiritually as much as me, it's invaluable, even though it was written before the discalced reform, and by a Franciscan  ;D

Didn't that book have a tremendous influence on St. Teresa?
Yes it did.

This looks like it might be happening in May. It depends on my uncle. We might actually be driving out, which I would prefer infinitely to flying.  :pray3:

I've never been to an Ordinariate Mass but I joined an Ordinariate Facebook group. They seem very devoted and traditional. They rarely "whine" about the Vatican II revolution like we tend to  ;D  :P  ;) and that's understandable as they haven't been affected by it much until joining the Ordinariate. I just wished they kept their traditional calendar and lectionary instead of the NO one. That's the biggest issue I have with them. They should have just stayed high church. Otherwise I'm glad they exist. Perhaps one day they would restore the Serum Rite.
 Don't know why but I am very drawn to the ordinariate. Perhaps its because of the sacral usage of english and rich ecclesial history. I even got their Daily office prayer book and sometimes listen to sermons online. The ordinariate priests often talk about the priestly celibacy and I assume they defend it more than NO priests.

The Bookstore / Re: RULE/MARTYROLOGY THREAD

The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for March 28:

CHAPTER XLVIII
Of the daily manual labour

Idleness is an enemy of the soul; and hence at certain seasons the brethren ought to occupy themselves in the labour of their hands, and at others in holy reading. We think, therefore, that the times for each may be disposed as follows: from Easter to the first of October, let them, in going from Prime in the morning, labour at whatever is required of them until about the fourth hour. From the fourth hour until near the sixth let them apply themselves to reading, And when they rise from table, after the sixth hour, let them rest on their beds in perfect silence; or if any one perchance desire to read, let him do so in such a way as not to disturb any one else. Let None be said in good time, at about the middle of the eighth hour: and then let them again work at whatever has to be done until Vespers. And if the needs of the place, or their poverty, oblige them to labour themselves at gathering in the crops, let them not be saddened thereat; because then are they truly monks, when they live by the labour of their hands, as did our fathers and the Apostles. Yet let all be done with moderation, on account of the faint-hearted.


Although I will post the Martyrology for the 3 days of the Triduum, it is not read at the Office of Prime.
Martyrology-March 29th
Roman Martyrology-March 29th-on this date in various years-

At Heliopolis in Lebanon, under Julian the Apostate, St. Cyril, deacon and martyr, whose body was opened and his liver taken out by the heathens who devoured it like wild beasts.

In Persia, the holy martyrs Jonas and Barachisius, under the Persian king Sapor. Jonas was put under the pressure of a vice, his bones broken, and cut asunder; Barachisius was suffocated by burning pitch being poured into his throat.

At Nicomedia, the passion of the holy martyrs Pastor, Victorinus, and their companions.

In Africa, under the Arian king Genseric, during the persecution of the Vandals, the holy confessors Armogastes, a count, Mascula, Archimimus, and Saturus, master of the king's household. After enduring many severe torments, as well as insults, for the confession of the truth, they completed their tests with glory.

In the town of Asti, St. Secundus, martyr.

In the monastery of Luxeuil, the death of Abbot St. Eustasius, a disciple of St. Columban, who had under his guidance nearly six hundred monks. Eminent in sanctity, he was also renowned for miracles.

And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.
