Fr. Couture (presently District Superior of Canada) asked that this consecration be on July 2nd. It is similar to the consecration performed by the Bishops of Canada in 1947.

Until this moment I did not know that the Bishops of Canada had performed such a consecration.

It makes me wonder what it would be like if they had not done the consecration!

CONSECRATION OF CANADA AND THE MINISTRY OF THE PRIESTS OF THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND THE IMMACULATE HEART OF
MARY


O Jesus,Who didst ask at Fatima that devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary be
established throughout the world, in order to save poor sinners from the fires of hell, behold
we come today, the priests of the Society of Saint Pius X, in union with all our faithful
people, to renew the consecration of Canada and of our ministry to the Immaculate Heart of
Mary.
Humbly prostrate before Thine altar, we adore Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, and venerate
the admirable privilege granted to Thy Holy Mother, by which Her most pure Soul was
preserved from original sin, in order to become the refuge of sinners and “the way that will
lead them to God”.
O Jesus, Thou hast instructed us through the vision of Saint John Bosco, in which he saw the
Church attacked from every side, but saved by the Blessed Sacrament and the Immaculate
Conception of Our Lady. Thou hast instructed us also through the vision of Sister Lucy, in
which she was permitted to contemplate the Blessed Trinity, the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
and Thy Holy Sacrifice of Calvary, renewed on our altars, the infinite source of grace and
mercy. So it is, O Jesus, One and only True God, that in this storm which is shaking the
Church and the world, Thou hast given us as the ark of salvation, the Immaculate Heart of
Mary and the incomparable treasure of the Blessed Eucharist.
Consequently, in the Presence of the Sacrament of Thy Love, with the utmost confidence of
being heard, we consecrate again Canada, our families and the ministry of the priests of the
Society of Saint Pius X to Thy Eucharistic Heart and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.We
beseech Thee, O Sacred Heart of Jesus and Thee, O Immaculate Heart of Mary, to deign to
receive this consecration of our country so that, protected by Thine assistance from the
dangers which threaten it and enlightened by the Truths of ThyWisdom, Canada may
become once more a land of predilection, where love of Thy Holy Name and respect for Thy
law will reign again, in conformity with the truth of Thy Sovereign Royalty, for which our
first missionaries gave their lives.
Accept also this consecration of our families which, with all our heart, we make to Thee so
that, forever safe in the burning furnace of Thy Charity, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, and in the
refuge of Thy Heart, which is the refuge of all sinners, O Immaculate Heart of Mary, touched
by so much mercy and grace, Thy children may live henceforth only for Thee, in Thy Church,
and in obedience to Thy commandments, and may thus all, one day, come safely to Heaven to
“sing forever Thy glories and Thy blessings”.
Finally, we ask Thee to receive this consecration of our Society of Saint Pius X, established in
Canada, so that, faithful to the mission which has been confided to it, it may work with all its
strength for the coming of the Kingdom of Christ, the King, and for the triumph of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, in this great land which the Church as placed under the patronage
of Saint Joseph and the Canadian Martyrs. Taught by the example of our venerated Founder,
Archbishop Lefebvre, we renew today the consecration of our priests, our seminarians, our
religious, the members of our third order and all our spiritual family to the Hearts of Jesus and
Mary.
We offer to Thee and we consecrate to Thee, O Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our goods,
our houses, all the Faithful who are confided to us and all the labours of our ministry, asking
Thee to keep us ever steadfastly attached to the Catholic Church, our Mother, and to protect us
always from error and from sin, so that united forever in the love of Thy divine Hearts, we may
give Thee glory and praise Thee with all the angels and saints, throughout all ages of eternity.
Amen.

"Father, Should I Attend That Mass?" Advice on Attending Non-SSPX Latin Masses

By
 + JMJ I see that the 'resistors' are in a tizzy because Fr. Robinson used them as an example instead of the sedevacantists. What is interesting is that you can apply the exact same reasons against going to a sede mass as that of the 'resistors'. Namely: On the other extreme are those situations where an SSPX priest knows that a certain non-SSPX traditionalist venue is a grave danger to the faith . Frankly, most, if not all, of the Resistance Masses would fall into this category. In many cases, the behavior of these priests has been and continues to be scandalous, by their (A) spirit, their (B) preaching, and their indiscriminate conferral of the (C) priesthood and (D) episcopacy. To attend a Mass with such ongoing scandals poses a serious danger to the souls of the faithful. Yep, looking at A,B,C and D the shoe fits. On this basis the "resistors" = "sedevacantists".

Correcting Caricatures of the SSPX

By
 + JMJ Introduction First, a little background on the FSSP St. John Vianney Chapel in Mission Hill Kansas.  After the 1988 consecrations and the foundation of the FSSP there was a consistent trend of Dioceses allowing the SSPX to run chapels and churches near SSPX locations. As with any 'organizational change' there were those who didn't agree with the change and no longer sought the sacraments from the SSPX. I heard from friends that in that era there was a lot of anger and tension (on both sides) between the St. Mary's SSPX and Mission Hill FSSP.  Second, there have been caricatures of the SSPX position (some are evident below) in which personal opinions of SSPX priests and laity are taken as the official position or conflated with those of sedevacantists or 'resistance'. Recent Perspectives of the SSPX Position In the shadow of the consecrations a fever pitch accusations and opinions how surfaced - many of which include caricatures of the SSPX positions, of w...

SSPX: Why Is the SSPX So Criticized?

By
 + JMJ As long as you are ok with what happens in other Catholic Churches, Traditional Catholics will be left 'alone'.  This is a paraphrase of words spoken by an Archbishop to Traditional Catholics (with a sprinkling of SSPX) who had requested the Traditional Latin Mass under Summorum Pontificum. This reflects that attitude of the Church towards anyone who takes issue with some of the ambiguities of Vatican II and the post-conciliar magisterium.  If you reject the papacy but are ok with V2, the New Mass, and what Rome has stated since 1965 - then you are welcome. Question some of the more abiguous statements and ask for Rome to realise that a circle is not a square - then you are in for a world of hurt. This is where the SSPX exists and has existed from almost its very first moments. Pointing out contradictions with previous magisterium is not acceptable - under any condition. Why? Because it will cause the whole V2 house of cards to fall. I guess only when the contradic...

Stories: Early Days of Tradition Part 8 - Convention Centre Chapel

By
 + JMJ I came to Tradition a few years after they had bought a chapel. My wife told me of the earlier years when Fr. Normandin would come to town and Mass would be held in a room at the convention centre.  He'd start by blessing the room and then proceed with Mass. This went on for a while before the one of the faithful found a small hall that would suit just fine. They pooled their money and bought the building.  Then came the work as the retiree's refinished the floor, setup the sactuary. Oh, did I mention that I heard that the hall had been used by a motorcycle gang? The floor needed a lot of work.  I remember seeing pictures of the founders working to make the hall into a fitting place for the Sacrifice of the Mass. That little chapel would be a refuge like many others serviced by Fr. Normandin.  From Thunderbay, Ontrario to Nanaimo, British Columbia - the SSPX chapels are all the results of Fr. Normandin's missionary work in those desperate times. Without h...

How many more must die for the throne? or How to combat FUD!

By
 + JMJ How many more must die for the throne? (Movie Quote: Prince Caspian) The Spread of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt I've seen a lot of FUD spreading across the intergnat on various stats etc.   So let's put this in context ... especially the perspective of those people in positions of authority who need to make decisions to protect the lives of their citizens. Yep, this is going to be that type of post.  Like it or not the leaders of our governments have their authority from God.  So, as Catholics should know, you need to have a very good reason to deliberately disobey the orders of their superiors. This is basic St. Thomas Aquinas ... so don't blame me for discussing things from a Catholic perspective. The leaders of our countries have taken action to protect the vulnerable of our countries.   As much as the young and not-so-young may whine and complain - I have to ask how many more of our elderly have to die? What the armchair virologists and ec...
