† Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi †
Vision of Saint Francis of Assisi
by Vicente Carducho, 1691
Museum of Fine Arts, Budapesst, Hungry
Francis of Assisi was born Giovanni Bernardone in the late 12th century into a family of wealth and prosperity. He grew up in the Italian city of Assisi. As a young man, he was popular with his peers and known for his sense of humor. While he had dreams of becoming a troubadour or knight, he expected to follow his father into the trade as a clothing merchant. However, a turn in Francis' life was to take place. In a war between Assisi and the neighboring city of Perugia, he was taken captive and held in prison for a year. During this time, he became severely ill and his mind began to turn to religion. Upon his release, he returned to Assisi, but he was not the same young man who had left. Having become more contemplative, Francis found no comfort in his family's wealth and privilege.
Francis had a dream in which he believed that God was calling him to repair his church and interpreted this to mean that he was to repair the church in San Damiano near Assisi. Francis was soon to renounce all of his possessions and his family treasures including his clothes - a decision which disturbed his family deeply. Dressing as a beggar, he was joined by companions who were called brothers. They rebuilt the church of San Damiano and traveled throughout central Italy preaching for people to turn from materialism to Christ. They worked or begged for their food. When there were eleven brothers, Francis gave them a short Rule and received approval from the pope to form a brotherhood which Francis called the Friars Minor.
Francis called for simplicity of life; poverty and humility before God. With the brothers, he worked to care for the poor. One of his first actions after his conversion was to care for lepers. Thousands were drawn to his sincerity and joy.
Francis is known as the patron saint of animals. There are many stories about the life of Francis that deal with his love for animals. Two are noted here:
One of the most famous stories speaks of a time in which Francis walked by a tree filled with birds and begged them to listen to the word of God:
-
My brothers, birds, you should praise your Creator very much and always love him; he gave you feathers to clothe you, wings so that you can fly, and whatever else was necessary for you. God made you noble among his creatures and he gave you a home in the purity of the air; though you neither sow nor reap, he nevertheless protects and governs you without any solicitude on your part.
One of his companions reported that the birds stretched their necks and extended their wings as Saint Francis walked among them touching and blessing them. Saint Francis believed that all creatures can praise and love their creator.
A second story tells of a wolf which was terrifying the city of Gubbio near Assisi. Having compassion for the frightened residents, Francis went up to the hills to find the wolf. Walking alone because all of his companions had fled in fear, Saint Francis eventually found the wolf, made the sign of the cross, and instructed the wolf to come to him and hurt no one. He said to the wolf:
-
Brother wolf, you do much harm in these parts and you have done great evil. All these people accuse you and curse you. But brother wolf, I would like to make peace between you and the people.
Saint Francis led the wolf into town. Surrounded by the startled citizens, he made a pact between them and the wolf. He explained that the wolf had terrorized the people because he was hungry. He told the people to feed the wolf regularly and the wolf would no longer prey upon them or their flocks. This legend exemplifies his love for animals and the natural world.
Every year on the Sunday nearest his October 4th feast day ( the day of his death in 1226 ) many people of faith around the world host services where animals are blessed. These occasions celebrate both Francis's and God's compassionate concern for all creatures.

Et videns Jesus fidem iliórum, dixit paralytico: "Confíde, fíli, remittúntur tibi peccáta tua." Et ecce quidam de scribis dixérunt intra se: Hic blasphémat. Et cum vidísset Jesus cogitatiónes eórum, dixit: "Ut quid cogitátis mala in córdibus vestris? Quid est facílius dícere: Dimittúntur tibi peccáta tua: an dícere: Surge et ámbula? Ut autem sciátis, quia Fílius hóminis habet potestátem in terra dimitténdi peccáta," tunc ait paralytico: "Surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum suam." Et surréxit, et ábiit in domum suam.

† A continuation of the Holy Gospel recorded by Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew †
A t that time Jesus entering into a boat, passed over the water and came into His own city. And behold they brought Him one sick of the palsy lying on a bed and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the sick man of the palsy: "Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee." And behold some of the Scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: "Why do you think evil in your hearts? whether is it easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee or to say: Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins" ( then said He to the man sick of the palsy ): "Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house." And he rose, and went into his house. And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God, who had given such power to men. |
HOMILY FOR THE EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
October 8, 2006 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
The Preeminence of the Traditional Mass
While it stands to reason one would be foolish to choose a counterfeit painting over a masterpiece, it makes no sense that one would opt for a counterfeit, man-made synthetic, albeit gutted, useless and fruitless rite that gravely offends God to replace a divinely-ordained sublime Sacrifice that God Himself established as the only true worship acceptable in the New and Eternal Testament.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
TheMass for the eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost was at one time inserted in the Missal after Ember Saturday in September, one of the days upon which ordinations to the minor and major orders traditionally took place. The newly ordained priests usually celebrated their first Holy Mass on that Sunday.
Newly ordained priests in the Traditional Roman Rite were to take extreme care in the celebration of Holy Mass, particularly on the day when they were privileged to offer it for the first time. With trembling hands they picked up the bread and wine, which were to become the Body and Blood of the Lord. Carefully and distinctly they pronounced the words of consecration, fearing that some unfortunate mistake would affect the validity of the Mass. They were treading on Holy Ground.
Rev. Dr. Nicholas Gihr, quoting Pope Saint Leo the Great, and writing before the heretical teachings that were introduced into the Church with Vatican II, such as the new doctrine of the Two Valid Covenants, explains the significance of the Sacrifice of the God-Man, Jesus Christ :
-
"The offering of the bloody Sacrifice of the Cross constitutes the conclusion and crowning of the earthly, as well as the foundation of the heavenly, activity and efficacy of Christ for the salvation of mankind. - In the Sacrifice of the Cross all sacrifices prior to the coming of Christ have their fulfillment and by means of it have attained their end (purpose).
-
"'On the Cross there was but one sacrifice ( hostia singularis ) offered to God for the redemption of the world, and the death of Christ, the true sacrificial Lamb, announced so many centuries in advance, placed the children of promise in the liberty of faith. Then also was the New Covenant sealed, and the heirs of the eternal kingdom were inscribed with the blood of Christ. Then was evidently effected the transition from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from the many legal sacrifices to the one Sacrifice ( a multis sacrificiis ad unam hostiam ), in such a manner that, when the Lord gave up His spirit, the mystical veil which concealed the innermost part of the Temple and its holy mystery from view, was suddenly and violently rent in twain from top to bottom. Then truth abolished the figures ( figures veritas auferebat ), and the prophecies became superfluous after their fulfillment.'
-
"The tearing asunder of the veil before the entrance to the Holy of Holies of the Old Dispensation was a sign that the Old Covenant ceased when the New and eternal Covenant of grace had been instituted in the blood of Christ. With the ending of the Old Covenant, the ancient sacrifices also ceased, because they had become useless" ( The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, B. Herder Book Co., 1939, p. 79).
Father Gihr establishes the essential connection between the Blood of Christ, which He shed upon the Cross, and the Blood of the chalice which He offered at the Last Supper:
"Our Savior named His blood, contained and shed in the chalice, the blood of the New Testament ( Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 26:28 ). The word testament has here a twofold meaning; namely, covenant and legacy. - Christ is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6), and that covenant is the new covenant of grace.
"This covenant was formed mainly at the Last Supper and at the same time sealed with Christ's Eucharistic Blood in the chalice; it then obtained by the shedding of the Blood of Christ its valid and complete confirmation. Thus Christ's Blood was equally as well in the chalice as on the Cross the Blood of the Covenant, that is, the Blood in which the new Covenant of Grace was established. Therefore, the Blood of Christ must not only not have first been sacrificed on the Cross, but previously offered in the chalice as sacrificial blood. This is required by the contrast here evidently made between the establishment of the old and the new covenants; for the words of our Savior: 'This is My Blood, the blood of the new covenant,' contain a distinct allusion to the words: 'This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you' ( Exodus 24:8 ), the words spoken by Moses after the establishment of the covenant of the Old Law, when he sprinkled the people with blood" ( p. 96 ).
In the Roman Latin Rite only the Traditional Latin Mass is worthy of such exalted mysteries. The Traditional Mass schools us in the obedience of Jesus Christ, trains us in humility and the spirit of sacrifice, and raises us up to the portals of Heaven. We are freed from the wanton spirit of the world and made ready for the company of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints. We are freed from the heavy shackles of our sins and are enabled to take flight spiritually.
Father Gihr speaks of the heavenly banquet of the Eucharist in which we share:
-
"In connection with this Sacrifice there is spread a banquet - the Communion of the admirable Body and Blood of Christ. To partake of this food of God, to sit at this banquet of love, all indeed are invited; but among the attending guests, the honored and preferred are the 'poor' in spirit, the humble and the lowly, - in short, all that have emptied their hearts and divested them of the love of the goods of this earth, and who, therefore, hunger and thirst after the imperishable food of Heaven. These 'poor in spirit will eat' at the table of the Lord and be 'filled,' that is, they will be strengthened and consoled, be replenished with joy and be loaded with graces; refreshed and regaled with heavenly nourishment, 'they will sing praise to the Lord whom they sought,' and of whose unspeakable sweetness they have tasted. Therefore, their hearts will live eternally; for whosoever eats of the living and life-giving bread of the Eucharist 'will not die forever' ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 6 )" ( p. 90-91 ).
Father Gihr finishes his monumental work on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with these words from the Apocalypse:
-
"To the Divine Lamb, Who was sacrificed for us and Who, with His Blood, hath purchased us from all tribes and languages and peoples and nations, be praise and honor and benediction and thanksgiving and power and glory for all eternity, Amen! Alleluia!" ( Apocalypse 5:6, 9, 19, 14 ). †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE FOR 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...
