Psalm 139:21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?

1 Peter 2:21

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

1 Corinthians 11:1

Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

Exodus 15:3

The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Exodus 15:6

Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.


Kumbaya Catholicism is not scriptural or historical. We are called to be like Christ and it is true that Christ sacrificed himself for his followers, for those who would accept the free gift of salvation it is also true that he drove out the money changers with furious violence, it is also true that he is a man of war and that many times he has destroyed the enemies of his beloved or empowered his people to destroy their enemies.

SEPTEMBER 17
THE STIGMATA OF SAINT FRANCIS

Collect:
Oh Lord Jesus Christ, Who, when the world was growing cold, in order to enkindle in our hearts the fire of Thy love, didst renew the sacred marks of Thy Passion on the body of blessed Francis: mercifully grant, that with the aid of his merits and prayers we may ever bear our cross, and bring forth worthy fruits of pennance:
Who livest and reignest...

Gradual: Ps. 36:30-31
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom, and his tongue shall speak judgement. The law of his God is in his heart: and his steps shall not be supplanted.

Pray for good priests and the conversion of bad priests

Interesting quote from St. Robert Bellarmine pertaining to the consequences of the Greeks rejecting the Florentine decrees made on the Filioque and separating itself from dogma, falling into heresy.

Reading of the Mass for Saturday of week 25 in ordinary time: The Lord Will Guard Us As A Shepherd Guards His Flock

Sept. 29
Dedication of St. Michael the
Archangel

St. Michael the
Archangel, 
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense
against the
wickedness and
snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the
heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.

OCTOBER 2
THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS

God's love for us was not satisfied with giving us His Son, Jesus, for our Redeemer, and Mary for our Advocate; He has been pleased to give us also His Angels to be our guardians: "He hath given His Angels charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy ways" (Ps. 90:2).
These holy spirits and princes of heaven are always with us, and assist us in all our actions. And on this account, out of regard to our guardian Angels, we ought carefully to refrain from every action which can displease them.

Virgin

COLLECT

O LORD, Who hast said: Unless you become as little children you shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven: grant unto us, we beseech Thee, so to follow in humility and simplicity of heart the footsteps of St. Thérèse, the Virgin, that we may obtain everlasting rewards:
Who livest and reignest.

“The Plot Against the Church” by Maurice Pinay: this is the foreward with some commentary. Recommended by Bishop Richard Williamson. An interesting history of Jews against Christendom

Read from Matthew and tell me what you think the Lord will say when you lived life knowing that your people were under attack, that every institution in their nations was being stacked against them, when invaders who hated them and wished to do them harm and to dispossess them were pouring into the land and you said nothing because you did not want to be called names by those who hate you anyway and who hate Christ.

If he would cast you into hell because you would not feed the poor what do you think he would do when you would not raise your voice while women and children are being murdered?

You Catholics who pretend to be traditional and scorn those of us who love our race and defend it should pray on this. Lest one day judgement comes and you hear the words “depart from me”.

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me,(B) you who are cursed, into the eternal fire(C) prepared for the devil and his angels.(D) 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me”
