Msgr. Carlo Maria Viganò HOSTEM REPELLAS LONGIUS Homily on Whitsunday We implore Thee! O forgiving SPIRIT, now descend again, Aid Thy own in holy living, Aid, also, unknowing men; Come and re-create; revive Dead hearts doubting and in sins; Vanquish and the vanquished give, Divine reward, Thyself who wins. Alessandro Manzoni, La Pentecoste, vv. 89-96 Popular devotion celebrates this solemn day with the name “Easter of Roses” [Pasqua delle rose], recalling the ancient custom of symbolizing the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and on Mary Most Holy with a cascade of rose petals. It is so similar to Easter that on the Eve of Pentecost Holy Baptism was solemnly administered to those who had not been able to be regenerated during the Vigil of Holy Saturday. Just as the Jewish Passover was a prefigurement of the Christian Passover [Pasqua or Easter], so the Jewish Pentecost – in which the promulgation of the Ten Commandments was celebrated seven weeks after the flight from Egypt –…More

Nearly 20,000 pilgrims attended Holy Mass on Pentecost during the legendary pilgrimage of the Roman Rite from Paris to Chartres. This is a record number. The pilgrimage is taking place for the 42nd time. Despite or because of Francis' "Traditionis Custodes", it attracts masses of young Catholics, with an average age of around 21. The French authorities support the pilgrimage, including with mounted police. C-News, a French television channel, ran several reports on the pilgrims, including a live broadcast of the mass. Notre-Dame de Chrétienté, the organiser, writes that these broadcasts have reached hundreds of thousands of French people. The Bishop of Nanterre, Mgr. Matthieu Rougé, welcomed the pilgrims and accompanied them as they passed through his diocese. Cardinal Müller will celebrate the final Mass of the pilgrimage at Chartres Cathedral tomorrow. Below are pictures and videos of this year's pilgrimage, all published by Notre-Dame de Chrétienté. #newsQqiiztlvda

Unmentioned, is the fact that this conciliar pilgrimage was erected to contradict and oppose the true SSPX Chartres Pilgrimage, which marches 20k strong in the opposite direction (from Chartres to Paris): Just as modernist Rome erects an insult parish wherever the SSPX is established to lure the superficial away, so to does it establish pilgrimages. But have no fear: The new branded SSPX no longer harbors such revulsion of conciliarism (which it now equates with Catholicism), and therefore, there’s really no more point to them having their own pilgrimage. In 2-3 years, they’ll want to show Rome that they’re on the same team, and simply merge the two pilgrimages (with the conciliar absorbing the SSPX, just as is happening step by step in the greater church).

Let’s pray to the Lord every day: “Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke, chapter 21, verse 36 Let’s stay awake and continually receive Jesus’s message for us. We will be able to escape some obstacles that come around on the road, because the light of God transmitted by prayer allows us to see clearly. Prayer enables us to discern what are the different objects and the people who take us away from God from those who gather us to him. Prayer illuminates what is happening in our lives and in the lives of those surrounding us. To see clearer let’s stand in the Light of the Lord. Jesus prepares us for the mission of evangelizing: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.” Luke, chapter 12, verses 35 to 36 Let’s stay awake and vigilant, to grasp every movement of the …More

A televised statement by the Poor Clares of Belorado, who have joined a sedevacantist sect, has left the Archbishop of Burgos, Mario Iceta, emotionally challenged ("very painful"), writes ReligionDigital.org (16 May). The nuns have declared that Francis is "a heretic and usurper" and that there has not been a valid Pope since Pius XII. Mgr Iceta mentioned that a change of abbess was due on 29 May. He wants to "build bridges" and sit down with the nuns "when the conditions are right", but "at the moment they are not, with all the media tsunami". He is "particularly concerned about the older sisters who are not at their best mentally". One of the nuns, Sister Amparo, has left the community. She saw some suspicious things but didn't know what was going on in her convent. The story she can tell is very fragmentary. For about a year, the nuns have been in contact with the sedevacantist leader Pablo de Rojas, who, according to InfoVaticana.com, likes extravagant furniture, clothes and servants …More

MEDITATION FOR PENTECOST SUNDAY The Holy Spirit that my Father will send in my name, will teach you and suggest to you all the things that I have said to you . (S. John, ch. 14) I. Consider the extreme charity and the excessive goodness that God shows today to his Church, giving her his Spirit and his love, and bringing down upon her the very source of all heavenly gifts . We can truly say that on this holy day the cataracts of heaven were opened, that the fountains of the great abyss of graces were as it were broken, and that a new flood of love and charity spread over Earth. After this, can it be that your soul will always remain like dry and barren land? and should you not expose your heart to this celestial dew, so that it may be abundantly penetrated and watered with this living water which springs up to eternal life? Therefore join your sentiments to those of the whole Church, and say with her: Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the Faithful, and kindle in them the fire of …More

It is the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. After having received the last blessing of the divine Master on the Mount of Olives, the Apostles, deeply distressed at no longer seeing him in their midst, but docile to his orders, trusting in the promise he had made to them of not leaving them orphans on earth, withdrew to the upper room, and there, collected in silence and prayer, they prepared to receive the consoling Spirit that Jesus Christ had promised them. Towards the morning of the tenth day, the anniversary of the forever memorable day when the ancient law was given to the Jews on Mount Sinai, in the midst of thunderbolts and lightning a great noise was heard, not like the sound of thunder and lightning. the shrill sound of the trumpets which once sounded on Sinai, but like an impetuous wind, which, without being threatening or terrible, filled the whole house where they were gathered, and seemed to call all Jerusalem to the beautiful spectacle that God was going to give …More
