Léctio Pauli Apóstolii ad Corinthios.
Fratres: sic nos existimet homo ut minístros Christi, et dispensatóres mysteriórum Dei. Hic jam quæritur inter dispensatóres ut fidélis quis inveniátur. Mihi autem pro mínimo est, ut ab vobis júdicer, aut ab humáno die: sed neque meípsum júdico. Nihil enim mihi cónscius sum: sed non in hoc justificátus sum: qui autem júdicat me Dóminus est. Itaque nolíte ante tempus judicáre, quoadúsque véniat Dóminus: qui et illuminábit abscóndita tenebrárum, et manifestábit consília córdium: et tunc laus erit unicuíque a Deo, in Christo Jesu Dómino nostro.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Corinthians .
Brethren, Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ and the dispensers of the mysteries of God. Here now it is required among the dispensers that man be found faithful. But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day but neither do I judge my own self. For I am not conscious to myself of anything: yet am I not hereby justified, but He that judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge not before the time, until the Lord come: Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from the Most Holy Trinity.

† A reading from the Holy Gospel by Blessed Apostle Saint Luke †
I n the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina, under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord came to John the son of Zachary, in the desert. And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins; as it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. Every valley shall be filled; and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: t he crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways plain, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. |
Homily For The Fourth Sunday of Advent
19 December 2004 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
"Make Straight His Paths" ~ Luke 3:4
In these closing days of 2009 we can see more and more how the prince of this world is doing everything possible to obliterate any memory of the Prince of Peace, and sadly the [ heretic ] conciliar church is aiding and abetting evil.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
No king or foreign dignitary is entertained at the Whitehouse without elaborate preparations. These days an army of bodyguards and security personnel is required. Another army of protocol experts, newsmen, photographers, entertainers, chauffeurs, cleaners, decorators, chefs, waiters and maids goes into action. Finally, the honorable gentleman or lady is announced by a herald amid fanfare or applause: "The King of Jordan," or "The President of the Philippines," as the case may be.
If this is done for earthly dignitaries, think of what preparations are necessary to entertain the One Who is greater than all - Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In fact, God had prepared a worthy welcome for His Son, providing Him with a Mother like no other, the Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary, with her holy spouse Saint Joseph, and a herald to announce His coming in Saint John the Baptist, not clothed in silk and fine linen, it is true, but in the resplendent garment of grace. "Make ready the way of the Lord," thundered the Baptist, "make straight His paths" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 3:4 ).
The preparation for the coming of our Lord must include repentance and conversion, since all men are sinners. Our Lord was to make this clear later in speaking of the Galileans who had been put to the sword by Pontius Pilate: "Unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 13: 3 ). Although we speak of the innocence of childhood, no one is born in innocence, because of Original Sin, but we can speak of baptismal innocence, since Baptism takes away Original Sin. Until the coming of the New Adam, Jesus Christ, and the New Eve, the Blessed Virgin Mary, over whom sin had no power, only Adam and Eve were born in original justice, which they forfeited through the sin of disobedience.
Yet it is taken for granted in the Conciliar Church that Baptism is unnecessary for salvation. Note the words of Father Peter Gumpel in a recent interview published on the Zenit website from Vatican City ( Dec. 15, 2004 Zenit.org ), about the controversy between the heretic Pelagius and Saint Augustine concerning the doctrine of Original Sin:
-
"In particular, in the struggle between Saint Augustine and Pelagius, the latter denied original sin, while Augustine, Doctor of the Church, asserted its existence. In St. Augustine's time, the doctrine existed according to which outside the Church there was no salvation, so the belief was that those who were not baptized, whether adults or newborns, could not enjoy the salvific vision."
Someone should inform Father Gumpel that the doctrine "outside the Church there is no salvation," is taught to this day in the true Catholic Church, and that the necessity of Baptism as a requisite for salvation is absolute, according to the words of Our Lord: "Unless a man be born again of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 3: 5 ).
Father Gumpel seeks to create the impression that these doctrines are passé, no longer taught in these times of ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue. All kinds of heresies emerge as a result of this thinking. If anyone can be saved without Baptism then the Church has been in error for two thousand years, and Our Lord Himself is made out to be a liar, the Church is unreliable as a teacher of truth, one religion is as good as another, or as worthless, and mankind must despair of ever knowing the truth.
The heresies lurking beneath the surface of modern sacramental and liturgical rites eventually assert themselves, as Cardinal Joseph Siri explains ( check www.novusordowatch.org for valuable information and rarely seen articles by Cardinal Siri ):
-
"Often heresy exists in an unconscious state, in use and customs received from subjects who practice these usages, but do not understand their origins. This is what is happening in many abuses of every type, presented under the guise of openings and creativity. In said cases, first you create the instinctive conviction and only later do you arrive at the formulation of the heresy. The proof of this is that we have arrived at the new heresy: negating the existence itself of orthodoxy. ( Cardinal Joseph Siri, Does Orthodoxy Exist? originally published in Renovatio XII, 1977, fasc. 3 ).
We must face a terrible reality - mankind is not ready to welcome Jesus ChristKing of Kings! There should be panic and holy fear, and a mad rush to get ready for the terrible day of the Lord's coming. Mankind should be sitting in dust and ashes like the people of Nineveh, repenting of their sins and begging God for mercy. Instead there is only indifference, unbelief, in fact disdain, even hatred for the Son of God.
We must rush to His defense, taking to heart these words of Cardinal Siri from the same article quoted above:
-
"The truth of God requires defense, with your blood if need be!"
Dom Prosper Gueranger provides us with some valuable reflections for the season:
-
"We have now entered into the week which immediately precedes the birth of the Messias. That long-desired coming might be even tomorrow… So that the Church now counts the hours; she watches day and night, and since December 17 her Offices have assumed an unusual solemnity… Today, she makes a last effort to stir up the devotion of her children. She leads them to the desert; she shows them John the Baptist, upon whose mission she instructed them on the third Sunday. The voice of the austere Precursor resounds through the wilderness, and penetrates even into the cities. It preaches penance, and the obligation men are under of preparing by self-purification for the coming of the Christ. Let us retire from the world during these next few days; or if that may not be by reason of our external duties, let us retire into the quiet of our hearts and confess our iniquities, as did those true Israelites, who came, full of compunction and of faith in the Messias, to the Baptist, there to make perfect their preparation for worthily receiving the Redeemer on the day of His appearing to the world" ( Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year, v. 1, p. 233 ). †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes: SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

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, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
