My walk with St. Dominic



JMJ

Last night I spoke with Rev. Father and I will be entering the 5 month T.O.P. postulancy very soon. At the end (God willing) I will enter the novitiate, recieve the habit, and my religious name.

We talked about the fact that up until V2 the T.O.P. wore the habit to Holy Mass, during processions, any Liturgical functions, Meetings, and of course being burried in the Habit. I like this very much because each time one puts on the habit the vows are punctuated ever more strongly in ones' mind and heart.

My love of Dominican spirituality came from St. Louis De Montfort (T.O.P.)and the more and more I read, the more and more St. Dominic's call was heard. TRUE Dominican spirituality!! It is truly a shame what has happened by and large to the Order of Preachers since the Council however, I want to be a loyal son of Holy Mother Church & a son of Holy Father Dominic...

I ask for everyone's prayers as I begin my Dominican walk..

Most Blessed Mother, Pray for us,
St. Dominic, Pray for us
St. Louis De Montfort, Pray for us

St. Louis IX




Oremus.
Deus, qui per beátum Ludovícum Confessórem tuum de terréno regno ad cæléstis regni glóriam transtulísti : ejus, quæsumus, méritis et intercessióne ; Regis regum Jesu Christi Fílii tui fácias nos esse consórtes : Qui tecum vivit et regnat.


Let us pray.
O God, who didst exalt blessed Louis thy Confessor, from an earthly realm to the glory of thy heavenly kingdom : grant, we pray thee, that by his merits and intercession ; we may be made heirs of the King of kings, even Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Who liveth and reigneth with thee.

As most of you know I LOVE to switch the bumper stickers on my car from time to time & many may remember the great TRAD stickers I designed some time back.

Well I have designed a few new ones that will be on the back of my Xterra soon and have them on order....

Rev Father's sermon today was GREAT and reminded me to NEVER back down from sharing the Holy Faith ALWAYS!!

Today I had a GREAT conversation with Rev. Father R.
My wife and I have a meeting sched. for Thursday evening and I am looking forward to actually belonging to a 100% TRADITIONAL Parish..

This will be a true answer to our long-prayed prayer.
And Rev. Father said that he would teach me chant as well which is something I have always wanted to learn....

I thank Our Lord & His Most Blessed Mother for hearing a humble slave's petition...
I am so excited....Now, its time for me to pray Vespers....

THE MASS returned to St. Joseph's

JMJ


Remember 2 years ago when we, the Catholics of Jacksonville were raked over the coals by Rev. Father Tom Willis for supporting the Traditional Mass and community of St. Joseph/s Parish?

Well Our Lady heard our petitions and The Holy Ghost moved Rev. Father Cody.....

The Traditional Mass returned to St. Joseph's on Trinity Sunday, June 7th, after an absence of more than 40 years. The Mass is celebrated in the Historic Church on the first and third Sundays of each month at 11 a.m. by Rev. Father Darius Sleszynski.





A small victory for Our Lady crushing the head of satan!!

A workshop for the Soul!

JMJ

Have you been looking for solid Traditional Catholic Radio programs?
If you have not listened to WFTS (A workshop for the Soul) then you really should.

They are connected with the SSPV (a sedevacantist group) however; very rarely will you hear that position broadcasted. What you WILL get is SOLID traditional Catholic teaching..
