BELLUM CONTRA HÆRÉTICOS

SAINT MARGARET, QUEEN OF SCOTLAND AND WIDOW Margaret, queen of the Scots, glorious descendant of the English kings from the father and from the Caesars from the mother, she was even more illustrious for the Christian virtue. She was born around 1046 in Hungary, where her father was at that time exiled, after passing her childhood in the greatest piety, she went to England with her father, called there by the uncle St. Edward to ascend to the throne of her ancestors. Soon, following the reverses of her family and left the shores of England, a storm, or rather, a design of divine providence led her to the coasts of Scotland. There, married, to obey to the mother, Malcom III king of the Scots who was caught by her beautiful qualities, she made herself wonderfully useful to the whole kingdom with works of sanctity and piety for the whole thirty years that she reigned.

Is it really any wonder why most Novus Ordo Catholics don't believe in the real presence? I'll say it again and again, YOUR PERSONALIST understanding doesn't trump the truth. THE TRUTH IS THAT only 30% of the Bogus Ordo recognize the real presence of Christ on the Altar. YOU CANNOT BE OK WITH THAT!! YOU SHOULD WANT EVERYONE TO RECOGNIZE CHRIST IS LORD ON THE ALTAR!! Save some Souls

Sancti Prime et Feliciane Martyres, orate pro nobis !

The day after the praetor made Primus come, and told him: “See how your brother is much wiser than you, and he obeyed to the emperors and received honours? If you want to imitate him, you will also have the same honours and graces”. But Primus: “I’ve come to know from an Angel of what has been done to my brother. God wants me to be united to the same martyrdom as I am very united to His will”. At which the praetor go on a rampage, without counting the other torments already given to Primus to the presence of Felicianus he ordered to be poured some liquid lead in his mouth. Thus, he had them both led into the amphitheater, and exposed to two lions: but these, crouching at their feet, caressed them with their heads and tails. Out of more than twelve thousand men gathered for this show, five hundred embraced the Christian religion with their families. The praetor, exacerbated by such things, ordered that they be beheaded. Their bodies were transferred by Pope Theodore I (642-649), from the XV mile of the Via Nomentana (near today's Mentana) to Rome, where they were buried with honour in the church of Santo Stefano Rotondo, on the Caelian Hill.

SAINTS PRIMUS AND FELICIANUS, MARTYRS Primus and Felicianus, Romans and Germanic brothers, accused during the persecution of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian of being Christians, were thrown in prison despite their old age; but released by an Angel, they were freed from it. Conducted to Promotus, praetor of Nomentum (in Sabina), they energetically persevered in the Christian faith, they were separated from each other; at first various times was put to the test the constancy of Felicianus. But the conselors of impiety, desperate of obtaining nothing from words, they nailed hands and feet to a trunk, leaving him suspended for three days without eating nor drinking.

St. Alphonsus (1755): “The proud are hateful before God; He cannot bear them.As soon as the angels yielded to pride, He banished them from paradise and sent them into hell, far distant from his presence. The words of God must be fulfilled: Whosoever, says the Lord, shall exalt himself, shall be humbled (Matt. 23:12).” The Practice of Humility https://youtu.be/EcCRTiK8vYs

From Challoner's Meditations: CORPUS CHRISTI DAY ON THE INSTITUTION OF THE BLESSED EUCHARIST Consider first, how our Lord, having finished the course of his mortal life, 'when his hour was now come that he should pass out of this world to the Father, having his own who metre in the world,’ says the beloved disciple, John xiii. 1, ‘he loved them unto the end,’ and gave them in the last stage of his life the most evident tokens of his boundless love, as well in what he endured out of pure love for us in his passion and death as in the institution of the eucharistic sacrifice and sacrament at his last supper, as an admirable legacy of love; in which, and by which, he might not only always be with us to the end of the world, but might also unite himself to us in such a manner as that we should abide in him and he in us, John vi. 56. O how wonderful are the ways of his divine love! How incomprehensible the riches of his bounty and goodness to us! What could he give us more than when he gives us himself? What could he do more to testify his affection for us? Is it possible, my soul, we should ever forget or be ungrateful to such a lover. Consider 2ndly, the infinite treasures which our Lord has bequeathed to us in the institution of these divine mysteries, which contain an inexhaustible source of divine grace: the living bread, the food, the nourishment, the strength, and the life of our souls; the manna of heaven, the tree of life, spirit, truth, and life itself; the remedy of all our evils, the most powerful medicine for all our diseases; the sovereign antidote against the poison of the infernal serpent, the comfort of our banishment, the support of our pilgrimage, the price of our ransom, the earnest of our eternal salvation, the great sacrifice and victim of the New Testament, by means of which we are enabled to give worthy praise, adoration, and homage to God; to return him acceptable thanks; and to apply daily to our souls all the fruits of the death and passion of the Son of God - as well for the remission of all our sins as for the obtaining of all good through him, both for time and eternity. In a word, he has bequeathed to us in these heavenly mysteries his own sacred body and blood, together with his soul and divinity - so rich a present that heaven can give nothing greater. Consider 3rdly, what could be the motive that induced our Lord to communicate himself and all his treasures to us in this wonderful manner by the institution of the blessed Eucharist? O my soul, it was no other but his own pure goodness and love. It was that by this means he might always be with us, 'for his delight is to be with the children of men.’ Prov. viii. 31. It was that he might unite us to himself, that he might abide in us and we in him. O, who ever heard of such love as this! But what didst thou see in me, dearest Lord, that could claim thy love, and such a love - in me, a poor worm of the earth, and what is infinitely worse, a most ungrateful, wicked sinner, a traitor to thee and to thy Father, who has so often crucified thee by my repeated crimes? O ye heavens, be astonished at this prodigy of my Saviour’s bounty and love for me, and of my wickedness and ingratitude in not making him a better return! O, my soul, let us begin now at least to be wholly his; let nothing henceforward be capable of separating us any more from this divine Lover. Conclude to be ever thankful for this unspeakable benefit of the institution of the blessed sacrament and sacrifice of the altar. Join now with the church in celebrating this octave with an extraordinary devotion, in acknowledgment of thy Saviour’s goodness and love, which he has shown to us in these mysteries, and make the best amends thou art able, by thy diligence in this devotion, for the many affronts, abuses, and sacrileges to which thy Saviour has here exposed himself for the love of thee.

FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI

Cor Jesu sacratíssimum, miserére nobis.
