Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum issued Motu Proprio
My dear Brother Bishops,
With great trust and hope, I am consigning to you as Pastors the text of a new Apostolic Letter "Motu Proprio data" on the use of the Roman liturgy prior to the reform of 1970. The document is the fruit of much reflection, numerous consultations and prayer.
News reports and judgments made without sufficient information have created no little confusion. There have been very divergent reactions ranging from joyful acceptance to harsh opposition, about a plan whose …More

The Missal of 1962 - The Rock of Stability.
This is an article from The Latin Mass Magazine. It was written by Michael Davies in the Spring of 2001. In the following essay Michael Davies makes clear why the 1962 Missal must be regarded as a rock of stability within the disintegrating Church of Western society, and why it must be defended at all costs against attempts to replace it by the Missal of 1965, or to destroy its sacred ethos by introducing the 1970 Lectionary or the practice of Communion in the hand. He sets what is taking place today within its historical perspective, in particular with the manner in which Thomas Cranmer conditioned the people of England to accept his 1552 Communion Service.

Humility and Obedience.
A GOOD PRIEST
Baroness de Hueck Doherty
A priest is a lover of God. A priest is a lover of men.
A priest is a holy man because he walks before the Face of the
All Holy.
A priest understands all things.
A priest forgives all things. A priest encompasses all things. The heart of a priest, like Christ's, is pierced with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ's, for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion. The heart of a priest is a chalice of love. The heart of a priest is the trysting place of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ. A priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself, so that he too may be lifted up and draw all things to Christ. A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is the gift of God to man, and of man to God. A priest is a symbol of the Word made flesh. A priest is the naked sword of God's justice. A priest is …More

The Real Presence.
The present volume, The Real Presence, is a collection of sermons that deal almost exclusively with the wonders operated by our Lord's love in the Eucharist. From every page, Saint Peter Julian, the "Priest of the Eucharist," sends a ringing plea to all men to love our Eucharistic Lord as He deserves and to take Him as both the model and the means of their holiness. Pondering over these chapters cannot but make us know better and love more the Eucharistic Christ. And with a more practical understanding of this supereminent means of grace, the problem of salvation should be easier to solve.
