DECEMBER 16 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 21,28-32. Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir,' but did not go. Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him."

I can't find one link from the SSPX showing the SSPX Chapels in Russia. Something is not right. I love the SSPX but they are not being honest when it comes to Russia. Not only that, but trying to search for a Chapel in Russia is impossible. They don't list even one, when I know there is at least two of them. Why don't they mention even one Chapel in Russia? Josef Schuztman has mentioned the one he attends and I believe another one in Russia. This is from a Russian site where they mention where the SSPX Chapels are. They list at least 3 in different cities. But not how many there are. The largest number of Brotherhood followers are concentrated in France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The Superior General of the Brotherhood is the Italian priest Davide Pagliarani, who succeeded Bishop Bernard Fellay. The Brotherhood's chapels of St. Pius X are also located in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Minsk. Священническое братство святого Пия X — Википедия
I remember my Mother Superior asking me once if I wanted to join the SSPX in France when I was having issues with the convent I was in.., I had no tolerance of the Novus Ordo and apparently that was a problem. I thought, it being a more traditional kind of convent they would be more like-minded to me, but apparently, I was quite alone in my traditional thinking.. me and the chaplain, and he was having disagreements with the Superior over it all. most of the time there was a daily TLM there, approved by the diocese, but the Superior also made it clear in her view "the Mass was the Mass". The other sisters, whatever their true thoughts were on the matter, never made it explicit they were in tune with my way of thinking. A torturous situation to be in over the long term, in a Carmelite convent where no two convents are alike, and there is outright persecution in the worldwide Church going on over this very issue.
We remember our childhood years, A joyful time, when snow reached our knees, When we searched for the star in the sky. Where are the children of those days? Where is the joy we once knew? Maybe it’s gone because we no longer want children, Cats and dogs are enough for us now. So say: “Merry Christmas, I love you” — And that is enough, Love will mend what has gone wrong.
Book of Zephaniah 3,1-2.9-13. Thus says the Lord: "Woe to the city, rebellious and polluted, to the tyrannical city! She hears no voice, accepts no correction; In the LORD she has not trusted, to her God she has not drawn near. For then I will change and purify the lips of the peoples, That they all may call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one accord; From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia and as far as the recesses of the North, they shall bring me offerings. On that day You need not be ashamed of all your deeds, your rebellious actions against me; For then will I remove from your midst the proud braggarts, And you shall no longer exalt yourself on my holy mountain. But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, Who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD; the remnant of Israel. They shall do no wrong and speak no lies; Nor shall there be found in their mouths a deceitful tongue; They shall pasture and couch their flocks with none to disturb them. …More

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing: The Powerful Christian Message Behind the Carol | Catechism for Kids “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” is one of the best-loved Christmas carols in the world — and its message is deeply rooted in the Christian faith, even though it did not come from the Roman Catholic tradition. Written in 1739 by Charles Wesley, a founder of the Methodist movement, the hymn was later revised by George Whitefield, another Protestant preacher. The famous melody was added much later by Felix Mendelssohn, a celebrated composer of Jewish heritage. Even with this diverse background, the lyrics of the carol beautifully express truths that Catholics also hold dear: Jesus is God made man His birth brings peace between heaven and earth Christ comes to save us and restore creation This child-friendly episode helps kids understand: Why the angels sang on Christmas night What the Incarnation means — God becoming human How Jesus brings peace, joy, and hope to the …More
Novena for Christmas The O Antiphons (also known as the Great Advent Antiphons or Great Os) are antiphons used at Vespers during the Magnificat on the last seven days of Advent in Western Christian traditions.[1] They likely date to sixth-century Italy, when Boethius refers to the text in The Consolation of Philosophy. They subsequently became one of the key musical features of the days leading up to Christmas. In the English-speaking world they are best known in their amalgamated form as the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel". Sequence Each text, in the original Latin, begins with the vocativeparticle "O". Each antiphon is a title of Christ, one of his attributes mentioned in Scripture. They are: 17 December: O Sapientia (O Wisdom) 18 December: O Adonai 19 December: O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse) 20 December: O Clavis David (O Key of David) 21 December: O Oriens (O Dawn of the East) 22 December: O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations) 23 December: O Emmanuel In the …More

While more than 10 million pilgrims filled the streets of Tepeyac for the 12 December celebrations honouring Our Lady of Guadalupe, a serious internal crisis has been unfolding at the Basilica in Mexico City. According to InfoVaticana (15 December), the rector, Canon Efraín Hernández Díaz, has been removed from office and placed under a canonical investigation ordered by the Archdiocese of Mexico. The move followed an unprecedented formal complaint by the Guadalupe chapter to Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes. The canons accuse the rector of opaque financial administration, lack of transparency and accountability, and of bypassing them. The chapter shares legal responsibility for overseeing the sanctuary. According to the canons, these practices endangered both the material assets and the spiritual mission of Mexico’s most important Marian shrine. In response, Cardinal Aguiar removed the rector on 20 September and ordered a preliminary canonical investigation, opened on 3 October. The …More
Neither Bergoglio nor Prevost appear in the Mantle of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The 46 stars on the Virgin of Guadalupe's mantle prove that Bergoglio and Prevost are not legitimate Popes These 46 stars on the tilma represent the 46 popes since the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. They also correlate with the prophecies of Garabandal, which indicate that the End Times began after Benedict XVI. "I earnestly desire that a temple be erected for me here." The temple requested by the Virgin of Guadalupe is not the new modernist "basilica" that has been desecrated with syncretic ecumenical gatherings that violate the First Commandment and contradict the evangelizing message of the Virgin of Guadalupe. This site was also desecrated by the anti-apostolic visit of the false pope Bergoglio.
