Psalm 21
[2] O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. [3] O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. [4] But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel. [5] In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
[2] The words of my sins: That is, the sins of the world, which I have taken upon myself, cry out against me, and are the cause of all my sufferings.
[6] They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. [7] But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. [8] All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. [9] He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. [10] For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
[11] I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother' s womb thou art my God, [12] Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. [13] Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me. [14] They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring. [15] I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
[16] My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. [17] For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. [18] They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me. [19] They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. [20] But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
[21] Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog. [22] Save me from the lion' s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. [23] I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. [24] Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. [25] Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
[26] With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. [27] The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever. [28] All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. [29] For the kingdom is the Lord' s; and he shall have dominion over the nations. [30] All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
[31] And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him. [32] There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.

Tonight I fell asleep early and when I woke up the wind was howling and I felt a diabolic presence... I looked at the time and it was almost midnight... And I opened the door and looked out expecting to see rain, but I saw no rain... only the shadows of the tree limbs swaying in the howling wind as I felt a chill from an evil presence... I made the sign of the Cross... I closed the door.... I sat at my computer and stared at the unholy news of the un-Godly act that was being committed tonight at Harvard -- the officially sanctioned worship of satan! .... to be sure the bishop's office published a tepid press release expressing "deep sadness and strong opposition” in the local paper....

Excerpt from the last chapter of Dietrich von Hildebrand’s seminal study of the post-conciliar crisis – The Devastated Vineyard:
http://angelqueen.org/2014/01/14/dietrich-von-hildebrand-on-how-to-respond-to-the-crisis-in-the-church/
We must not underestimate the power of those ideas which fill the intellectual atmosphere of the time, nor the danger of being infected by them when we are daily breathing this atmosphere. Nor should we underestimate the danger of getting used to the evils of the times, and then becoming insensitive to them. At first perhaps many people see the devastation of the vineyard, and react in the right way. But after a while one becomes accustomed to it. Then, too, there is this to consider, that the devastation of the vineyard is an increasing process, and so certain evils which belong to the earlier stages, seem harmless in the light of the later stages. And so we are in danger of becoming insensitive, on the one hand, because the devastation progresses, and its beginnings seem insignificant in the light of its advanced forms.
But it is still worse to become infected than to be insensitive. The first thing to be done in order to avoid both dangers is to realize completely how extraordinary is the situation in which we live today. St. Peter tells us, “Brethren, be watchful and sober, for your adversary the devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour….
…..Today these trends [of error and disobedience] are able to develop within the Church. We can clearly discern them in sermons, in pastoral letters, and in books by well known authors. Since these bad trends encounter so little resistance within the Church, it has become much more difficult for the simple faithful to grasp their incompatibility with the deposit of Faith. Thus, St. Peter’s exhortation to watchfulness applies today in a special way to watchfulness with respect to heresies within the Church. We must constantly determine whether sermons, or new books, do not contain something heretical, or some basically false emphasis. The Imprimatur used to be a great guarantee, and especially the Index [of forbidden books]. But today we have to develop in ourselves a special awareness, a holy mistrust, for we not only live in a poisoned world, but in a devastated Church. In our present trial God requires of us this watchfulness, this holy fear of being infected. It would be a lack of humility to think that we are in no danger of being infected. It would be a false security rooted in pride if we were to think that we are immune. Each of us must become aware of his frailty, and understand that this special watchfulness is required of us by God in the trial which we are going through……..
Our response must be……a growth in faith, hope, and charity. Is not the devastation of the vineyard of the Lord an exhortation to love God, Christ, and His Holy Church more than ever? Do we not betray Christ if we turn away in disgust? Should not we of all people strive to see that true beauty of the vineyard of the Lord, which objectively must be to work for the glorification of God, and toward our own personal sanctification, and to oppose this-worldliness by our own unconditional imitation of Christ.
This has of course become more difficult. We are not longer surrounded by the radiance of the Holy Church as we were before the Council…….Today our Faith no longer has the great support and help of previous generations, and it has to penetrate through much which is foreign to this sacred world in order to reach that tremendous and sacred event, the mystery of the unbloody re-enactment of Calvary, and of the union of love between our soul and Jesus in Communion. This is precisely why the devastation of the vineyard of the Lord is a time when our faith is tried, when we are called upon to grow in faith, hope, and charity. But it is a time of trial which demands a completely new kind of watchfulness……

Goodbye to our dear friends at "Protect the Pope"
[5] But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober. [6] For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. [7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

From Chapter 1 of von Hildebrand’s work, The Devastated Vineyard, entitled The Lethargy of the Guardians:
http://veneremurcernui.wordpress.com/2010/06/25/dietrich-von-hildebrand-on-church-leadership/
+ + +
But they want to silence the faithful believers who take up the cause of orthodoxy, the very people who should by all rights be the joy of the bishops’ hearts, their consolation, a source of strength for overcoming their own lethargy. Instead, these people are regarded as disturbers of the peace. And should it happen that they get carried away in their zeal and express themselves in a tactless or exaggerated manner, they are even suspended. This clearly shows the cowardice which is hidden behind the bishops’ failure to use their authority. For they have nothing to fear from the orthodox; the orthodox do not control the mass media or the press; they are not the representatives of public opinion. And because of their submission to ecclesiastical authority, the fighters for orthodoxy will never be as aggressive as the so-called progressives. If they are reprimanded or disciplined, their bishops run no risk of being attacked by the liberal press and being defamed as reactionary.
This failure of the bishops to make use of their God-given authority is perhaps, in practical consequences, the worst confusion in the Church today. For this failure not only does not arrest spiritual diseases, heresies, and the blatant as well as the insidious (and this is much worse) devastation of the vineyard of the Lord; it even gives free rein to these evils. The failure to use holy authority to protect the holy Faith leads necessarily to the disintegration of the Church.

Bergoglio joke of the day
[5] The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
[6] For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty. [7] The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment. [8] But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
Prophecy Of Isaias 32:5-8
+ + +
JOKE OF THE DAY
Thanks to Francis, we no longer have to wonder what a Freemason would do if he (or she) became Pope....now we know.
[Cue laugh soundtrack]
Ha-ha-ha-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-heh-heh-Ha-heh-heh-heh
+ + +
Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from losing all hope... and your faith.
Isaias tells us of the folly of the rulers of this world who do not recognize the almighty authority of Our Prince -- Jesus Christ, King of Kings!

Papal plot to destroy the family
Psalm 1
[1] Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. [2] But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper. [4] Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. [5] Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
[6] For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
+ + +
In his speech at the "canonization" of two of his recent predecessors Bergoglio remarked on the upcoming "synod for the family".
A careful review of the speech reveals that it contains a blueprint for his plot to destroy the Church's teachings on the family with the ultimate goal of a total destruction of the family as the basis of Christian society. This is in total keeping with his humanist/freemasonic way of thinking.
[You may be wondering what the final goal is. It is actually not a great secret. The goal is transhumanism. This has been revealed to us many years ago by the British Humanist Aldous Huxley in his book "Brave New World". Total destruction of the family is an obvious first step towards this humanist "utopia".]
The snake oil Bergoglio is using to sell this diabolical plot is "mercy". In this case "divine mercy". Yes, it is "divine mercy" but the question is what "divinity" does he worship?
The answer to this question is in the freemasonic symbolism behind the word "light". JPII attempted to impose on the Church the "luminous" mysteries. This is in honor of the "angel of light", the torch bearer -- Prometheus who stole fire from the gods to give to Man.... so that Man could be like God.
This "angel of light" is the divinity of Bergoglio. This is who he appeals to for "mercy".
In the name of "mercy" for the "divorced and re-married" he will un-mercifully destroy the family. He will tear the child from the mother's arms and hand him over to the state for his "development and education" -- totalitarian-communist style.
He will shatter the holy bonds of matrimony and instead place shackles of sinful pleasure on young people, so that marriage will become obsolete or reduced to a simple legal contract.
He will give his papal "blessing" to the diabolically perverted act of homosexual sex. An act that is an anti-baptism into the anti-church of the anti-christ. An act that can never bear fruit. A sterile blasphemous contraceptive act that brings the soul in union with the satanic.
These are not the actions of a "holy father" rather these are the actions of an un-holy father.
God forgive me. I pray that I am wrong.
All of this is part of the divine plan, and we must somehow maintain our faith in the all-powerful all-knowing God.
Still it is exceedingly difficult and painful to my soul to watch.
Our Lady, we place ourselves in your care.
God have mercy on us all.

To restore all things in Christ
To restore all things in Christ
A hymn dedicated to Archbishop Lefebvre
-- the founder of the Society of St. Pius X --
on the anniversary of his departure from this world
to enter into a new life
(November 29, 1905 -- March 25, 1991)
© 2014 by Michael of Public Vigil blog
To restore all things in Christ
No matter the sacrifice
To be willing to pay any price
To fight until the end
To free the world from sin
Does it seem like there’s no end?
And there’s nothing to defend?
We were always free to choose
But In this dark night
Where is the light?
Archbishop Lefebvre you walked
In the footsteps of the saints
Your motto was charity
And with such great clarity
You showed us the way
Don’t be too quick to condemn
God’s soldiers must fight other men
It can be difficult to comprehend
Because angels can’t be seen
And Satan’s behind the scenes
To restore all things in Christ
No matter the sacrifice
To be willing to pay any price
To fight until the end
To free the world from sin
St. Pius X you taught
That Christ’s Truth cannot be changed
And that the Church must be saved
From the grave errors
That threaten her existence
Archbishop Lefebvre your priests
Offer up a sacrifice
On the altar of the Lord
In persona Christi
In remembrance of Him
Holy Mother of the Church
Holy Spouse and Holy Child
All the angels and the saints
Pray for us
Pray for us

Puer natus
Puer natus est nobis,
et filius datus est nobis:
cuius imperium super humerum eius:
et vocabitur nomen eius, magni consilii Angelus
-- Prophecy Of Isaias (Isaiah) 9:6
To us is born a child
and to us is given a son:
his dominion is on his shoulders:
and he will be called angel of great counsel
+ + +
"Puer natus" is the introit of Christmas Day.
Sandro Magister has posted a new recording of it by the "Cantori Gregoriani" and their Maestro Fulvio Rampion. Please visit Magister's website and read the "listener's guide" which he has provided so that you may more fully appreciate the beauty of the rich Catholic tradition which is Gregorian Chant.
There are some recordings of "Cantori Gregoriani" and their Maestro Fulvio Rampion available for purchase:

May you have a blessed Christmas.

Anti-Catholics agree: BEST POPE EVER!!!
And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away.Even though I had predicted this was coming, it's still a bit of shock to hear that "Pope Francis is Man of the Year". Uh, "person" of the year.
-- Gospel According to Saint Mark 11:21
It must have been his "humility" that swayed the judges.
As I said on November 7:
It's all good news from the Vatican since Bergoglio was elected. And even though the mainstream press is ignoring this Bozo the Clown moment at the Vatican, I'm sure this will seal Bergoglio's being declared "Man of the Year" for 2013 by the world press. No doubt about it -- he is their man in the Vatican.Over at Catholic News Agency (CNA -- which is run by EWTN) the headline reads "Catholics joyful at Pope's 'Person of the Year' recognition". If they think that "Catholics" are "joyful", they should see how "joyful" the anti-Catholics are!
CNA also tells us that he is the third Pope to receive this "honor".
"Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II have also been named Person of the Year, in 1962 and 1994, respectively."... no comment .... what could I possibly add to that...
This is another sign of the times. It is not Bergoglio who is being "honored" by the secular press, it is the "New Church" of Vatican II. Could it possibly be any more clear?
And now... let the scandals begin... because there will be scandals aplenty. Just look... whenever the Church receives such high "honors"... scandals inevitably follow.
What a sad day. How can any "Catholic" be "joyful" at this news?
