CONSECRATION OF CANADA AND THE MINISTRY OF THE PRIESTS OF THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X

JMJ

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.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

+ JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them. I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest. This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis? When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due. This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

+ JMJ An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'. Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like. No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included. I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith. While...

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church. The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.
