The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

"There is one God, and one Christ, and there is one Church, and one Chair founded by the voice of the Lord upon a Rock. Another altar cannot be constituted or a new priesthood be made, beside the one altar and the one priesthood. Whosoever gathereth elswhere, scattereth. Whatsoever by human madness is instituted, so that the divine disposition is violated, is adulterous, is impious, is sacrilegious." -St. Cyprian, Church Father, Epist. ad Pleb. xl. n. 5

From an approbated Examination of Conscience (Sins Against the First Commandment):
"Have you gone to places of false worship and taken an active part in the religious services of a false church?"

"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it." -St. Augustine

Important Note: the majority of the (true) Faithful do not have a valid Mass (Pius V Missal) or Divine Liturgy they can attend to fulfill their obligation. Please see
Fr. Dom Lorenzo Scupoli's imperative instructions on how to prepare for and make a Spiritual Communion, from his famous book, The Spiritual Combat (below).

In any serious inconvenience you are not obliged to attend Mass. This applied in normal times (the 1950's) for travelers (i.e. in another country, etc.,) but much more so today when a true *approbated Mass is terribly difficult to find. The obligation to keep holy the Lord's Day, does not necessarily oblige Mass attendance in every instance, and certainly is never imposed upon us "at any price." What is required of us is to perform some public act of piety, such as a visit to a holy shrine, or the recitation of the Rosary in a public place, or placing of flowers before a statue of our Lord or Our Lady, and to be focused primarily on the things of God, especially by not profaning His holy day by unnecessary servile labor, etc.

St. Alphonsus Liguori: "The devil has always attempted, by means of the heretics, to deprive the world of the Mass, making them precursors of the Anti-Christ, who, before anything else, will try to abolish and will actually abolish the Holy Sacrament of the altar, as a punishment for the sins of men, according to the prediction of Daniel: "And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice' (Dan. 8:12)."

How to Prepare for and Make a Spiritual Communion (By Fr. Dom Lorenzo Scupoli, from his classic book,
The Spiritual Combat.) Editor's Note: Crucial for the Church Militant during *these latter days of the Apostasy, when the majority of the (true) Faithful do not have a valid Mass (Pius V Missal) or Divine Liturgy they can attend to fulfill their Sunday obligation. Of course a Catholic may never attend (under pain of Mortal Sin) "masses" or "divine liturgies" that have anything to do with the heretical Vatican II sect tyrants and mobs.

"Once these conditions (intention of Orders) are present, the sacraments may be conferred by either the good or the wicked, the faithful or the heretical, within the Church or outside it: but within the Church, they are conferred both in fact and in effect, while outside it, although conferred in fact, they are not effective." -St. Bonaventure, Church Doctor, from The Beviloquium, Part VI, Chapter 5, Article 1

"I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolic and ecclesiastical
traditions and other observances and constitutions of the Church."
(From the Professio fidei Tridentinae [Tridentine Creed])

Question: Do you possibly have the greatest gift a Catholic can imagine... a vocation to be a Traditional priest, monk or nun? If possibly so, contact the webmaster who can provide you with further information/contacts that may be of assistance to you, in this grave matter of discerning God's Will for your soul.

Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of The Most Holy Rosary

"If people do what I will tell you, many will be saved, and peace will come. I promise to help at the hour of death with the graces for their salvation, those who on the first Saturday of the five consecutive months shall confess and receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the rosary and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on one or more mysteries of the rosary with the intention of making reparation to me."

(Note: See how to precisely fulfill the Five First Saturdays Devotion as requested by Our Lady of Fatima by clicking here.)

"After the Gloria Patri of each decade, you will say, 'O my Jesus, forgive us our sins! Deliver us from the fires of Hell! Have pity on the souls in purgatory, especially the most abandoned'."

"... in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

"She (the Blessed Virgin Mary) told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Also from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility." -Sister Lucy of Fatima speaking to Father Fuentes, December 26, 1957
