Adam Chmielowski
by Aleksander Gierymski

† Feast of Saint Brother Albert †

Anno Domini 17 June 2007

Born in Igołomia near Miechów, Poland as the eldest of four children in a wealthy family, he was christened Adam. During the 1864 revolt against Czar Alexander III, Adams' wounds forced the amputation of his left leg.

Saint Albert Chmielowski a.k.a Adam Hilary Bernard Chmielowski was born August 20, 1845 in Igoomia, Poland and died December 25, 1916 in and died December 25, 1916 in Krakaw, Poland, of natural causes. He was beatified on June 22, 1983 in Krakaw and canonized on November 12, 1989 by Pope John Paul II at Saint Peter's Square, Rome. His memorial day is June 17.

Saint Brother Albert is also known as: Adam Chmielowski, Brat Albert, Brother of Our Lord, Brother of Our God, or Our God's Brother.

Born to a wealthy aristocratic family, he initially studied agriculture with the intention of managing the family estate. Involved in politics since his youth, he lost a leg at the age of 17, while fighting in an insurrection. He became well-known and well-liked artist in Krakaw, his political convictions inspiring his interest in the human condition. A gentle and compassionate spirit, Saint Brother Albert felt compelled to help those in need and after years of reflection, decided to follow his calling into the service of God.

In 1880 he joined the Jesuit Order, took the name Albert and abandoned painting for his religious calling. He began the life of working for the poor. In 1887 he founded Brothers of the Third Order of Saint Francis and Servants of the Poor known as the Albertines ( named for him ). Members of the order were called The Gray Brothers ( after their gray burlap like habits ). In 1891 he founded the women's congregation of the Order ( Gray Sisters ). The Albertines organized food and shelter for the poor and homeless.

Saint Brother Albert believed that the great calamity of our time is that so many refuse to see and relieve the suffering of others. The so called "haves" live away from the "have-nots", ignore them and leave their care to society.

In 1949, Pope John Paul II wrote a play about St. Albert; which was filmed in 1997 and released as Brother of Our God. Albert was the spiritual teacher of Blessed Maria Bernardina Jablonska.

Missa Respice in me
Anno Domini 17 June 2007

"....I say to you, there shall be joy before the Angels of God upon one sinner doing penance...."

"All whatsoever you do in word or work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks to God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord," --- Blessed Apostle Saint Paul

T he liturgy celebrates today the mercy of God towards us, poor sinners. (Collect, Postcommunion) Jesus has come not to call the just but sinners, and the Holy Ghost comes to establish the reign of God in our sinful, unclean hearts.
The Sanctifier continues in our hearts the action of Christ, coming to establish the reign of God in sinful souls. He therefore proclaims by the mouth of Peter, the Head of the Church, our weakness before the devil, who, like roaring lion, seeks to devour us ( Epistle ). The human race has fallen into sin. It is represented by the lost sheep which the divine Shepherd bears on His shoulders, and by the lost drachma struck with the effigy of the King of Heaven and which the Church found again ( Gospel ).

"Without God, nothing is strong, nothing is holy" ( Collect ). He alone can give us, in the midst of temptation "an unshakable stability" ( Epistle ). Therefore on Him we must "throw all our thoughts and cares." ( Epistle, Gradual ).

EVANGELIUM ~ GOSPEL - Blessed Apostle Saint Lucam/Luke 15:1-10

   

† Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam †

In illo témpore: erant appropinquántes ad Jesum publicáni et peccatóres, ut audírent illum. Et murrnurábant pharisæi, et scribæ, dicéntes: "Quis hic peccatóres récipit, et mandúcat cum illis, Et ait ad illos parábolam istam,dicens: Quis, ex vobís horno, qui habet centum oves: et si perdíderit unum ex ills, nonne dimíttit nonagintanóvem in desérto, et vadit ad ilam, quæ periérat, donec invéniat eam? Et cum invénerit eam, impónit in húmeros suos gaudens: et véniens domum, cónvocat amícos, et vicínos, dicens illis: Congratulámini mihi quia invéni ovem meam quaa períerat! Dico vobis quod ita gáudium erit in coelo super uno peccatóre poeniténtiam agénte, quam super nonagintanóvem justis, qui non indigent poeniténtia. Aut quæ múlier habens drachmas decem, sí perdíderit drachmam unam, nonne accéndit lucérnam, et evérrit domum, et quærit diligénter donec invéniat? Et cum invénerit, cónvocat amícas et vicínas, dicens: Congratulámini rnihi quia invéni drachmam, quam perdíderam? Ita dico vobis, gáudium erit coram Angelis Dei super uno peccatóre poeniténtiam agénte.

     

† A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Saint Luke †

AAt that time, the publicans and sinners drew near unto Jesus to hear Him: and the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them. And He spoke to them this parable, saying: "What man is there of you that hath a hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders rejoicing and coming home, call together his friends and neighbors, saying to them; Rejoice with me because I have found my sheep that was lost? I say to you that even so there shall be joy in Heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need no penance. Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat doth not light a candle and sweep the house,and seek diligently until she find it? And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbors, saying: Rejoice with me because I have found the groat which I had lost? So I say to you, there shall be joy before the Angels of God upon one sinner doing penance."

Homily for Sunday in the Octave of The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Missa Factus est

25 June 2006 A.D.
by Father Louis J. Campbell
Extreme Makeovers and Stolen Identities.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

The changing face of the conciliar chameleon necessitates changing the faces and focuses of those Catholics whom the faithful had been accustomed to trust. Thus the faithful have been hoodwinked by the very hideous hooligans our Lady endeavored to warn against at Fatima. There is only one answer: Continue to pray the Rosary and persevere in the True Faith by standing fast to tradition for, as today's Epistle warns, the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking souls to devour. And devout souls are the tastiest to this beast.

Stories about transforming ordinary persons or properties into princes or palaces were once called fairy tales. Today they are called "extreme makeovers." Slummy shacks, with a few blows of the hammer and slathers of the paintbrush, become swanky digs ( if you'll pardon the expression ). Plain Janes emerge as ravishing beauties, to the applause of their families and friends. Too bad that more of them do not realize that what they need is the transforming power of Sanctifying Grace. So great is the "makeover" of the sinner who repents, that the very angels of God rejoice, so the Lord tells us in today's Gospel.

Not all "makeovers" are called for, however. Who would approach the Taj Mahal with a wrecking ball and new plans to improve the already perfect (architecturally speaking)? But Catholics the world over were treated to an unwanted extreme makeover of their holy Religion commencing with the Modernist takeover of the Church's hierarchy, including the papacy itself. An army of liturgical "experts," slithering out of Rome after Vatican II, swept our churches of their sacred images and adornments, and turned them into the likeness of Masonic temples right before our eyes. Monasteries and convents, chanceries, parishes, seminaries and Catholic schools were all given an extreme makeover. And it hasn't stopped yet.

As we have seen recently, Catholic shrines and places of pilgrimage are also scheduled for a makeover. The shrine of Our Lady at Fatima, Portugal, can serve as an example. It has become the model of ecumenical activities for Catholic shrines all over the world. On May 5, 2004, a group of Hindus were permitted to perform their idolatrous rites at the Fatima Shrine. A new shrine building is under construction which will be open to worshippers of all faiths and persuasions. But lo and behold! the Tradition In Action website, has presented us with very convincing evidence, in the form of pictures, of a conspiracy involving the very identity of the late Sister Lucy of the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra, Portugal, one of the three Fatima visionaries.

The two little Fatima seers, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, died of the flu within a few years of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima in 1917. The third, their cousin, Lucia dos Santos, pursued her education at the request of Our Lady and then entered the convent of the Dorothean Sisters. A few pictures of Sr. Lucy from this period are available. After she became a Carmelite nun at Coimbra in 1948 her picture was not seen until the year 1967, when it supposedly appeared on the cover of a volume of her writings. Access to Sister Lucy was virtually impossible to obtain, but she appeared at Fatima on special occasions with Paul VI, John Paul II, and other dignitaries until her death in February of 2005. There are numerous pictures of these events.

Now here we are, as they say, going out on a limb. In comparing the later pictures with the earlier pictures of Sister Lucy, it is apparent that something of an extreme makeover has taken place. The whole structure of her face has changed. Her eyes are set wider apart; once rather straight and flat of forehead, her brow has now become quite prominent; her once full lips have become thin slits; her teeth are rearranged; her nose is reshaped; the expression in her eyes is different; her eyes that once had a slight tendency to diverge, now tend to point inward towards the nose; her once very receding chin now juts forward prominently. Many are becoming convinced that the nun who died in 2005 was not Sister Lucy, but you must examine these pictures for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Check out it out yourself at Tradition In Action.

The physical appearance of the nun is not the only thing that changed. Sister Lucy was serious and reserved. She averred that the consecration of Russia had not taken place as Our Lady had requested. The later nun was smiling and relaxed, claiming that Our Lady accepted the consecration made by John Paul II in 1984, in which Russia was not mentioned. Presumably the conversion of Russia commenced with the fall of the Berlin wall, and Our Lady's Immaculate Heart has finally triumphed. Some triumph! Our Lady's requests have not been fulfilled, and Russia, still deceiving the world in everything she does, is poised for a new conquest that will make the days of the Soviet Union seem tame by comparison.

Now comes the "clincher." A new 64-page volume in Italian of Sister Lucy's writings has been released. According to Zenit news, the following words referring to Our Lady's prophecy about the outbreak of World War II in the pontificate of Pius XI, appear in the booklet: "the outbreak of an atheist war against the faith, against God and against the People of God. A war that sought to exterminate Judaism from which Jesus Christ, the Virgin and the Apostles came, who transmitted to us the Word of God and the gift of faith, hope and charity, a people chosen by God, chosen from the beginning: 'salvation comes from the Jews'" ( Zenit.org, June 2, 2006 ).

Could this mindbender have come from a humble Carmelite nun hidden away for decades in a convent in Coimbra? It is true that Our Lord said that "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4: 22), because the Jewish religion prepared the way for Jesus Christ, the Messiah. But afterwards, rejecting Him, it fell into apostasy, and remains so to this day. Modern Judaism is not the religion "from which Jesus Christ, the Virgin and the Apostles came."

Every Christian must oppose the extermination of any race, whether Jews or otherwise. But can we believe that Our Lady has come to the defense of an apostate religion that denies the divinity of her Son, Jesus Christ, and denigrates her own immaculate purity and holiness? There is no way that the Blessed Virgin Mary, or even an authentic visionary, like we might expect Sr. Lucy to be, could make such a heretical statement. It seems more likely that the conciliar church, once embarrassed by the Fatima phenomenon, has found a way to make use of it to further its heretical theological position regarding the Jews. The Fatima event itself has been subjected to an extreme makeover, with the help of a nun who, as we are led to believe, assumed the identity of Sister Lucy of Fatima, and would do and say what she was told.

So we must redouble our efforts to make atonement to Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Immaculate Mother Mary for the blasphemies committed against them, many of which are condoned by the conciliar church. Try to fulfill the requests of Our Lady at Fatima by being enrolled in the Scapular, by making the five First Saturdays in the manner prescribed by Our Lady, and by faithfulness to your daily Rosary. We will continue our Rosary Processions on Wednesday evenings, and especially we will offer devoutly the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in which Jesus Christ offers Himself to the Father for the salvation of the world."

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Vere dignum et justum est, æqum et salutáre, nos tibi semper, et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnipotens, eatérne Deus: Qui Unigénitum tuum in cruce pendéntem lancea militis transfigi voluisti, ut apértum Cor, divines largitatis sacarium, torréntes nobis fúnderet miserationis et gratias, et quod ambre nostri flagrare nunquam déstitit, piis esset réquies et pceniténtibus patéret salútis refúgium.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God Who didst will that Thine only-begotten Son, while hanging on the Cross, should be pierced by a soldier's spear, that the heart thus opened, a shrine of divine bounty, should pour out on us streams of mercy and grace, and that what never ceased to burn with love for us, should be a resting-place to the devout, and open as a refuge of salvation to the penitent. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
