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.

This is a copy the I emailed to myself. This is an article that, I believe, was written in response to a conference given by Msgr. Pozzo. P^3

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay. Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making. It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX. The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience. The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members. It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations - Courtesy of SSPX.org

+ JMJ In the blogosphere there are number of responses to this crisis in the Catholic Church that lead to conclusions that run counter to Catholic Doctrine and Dogmas - if taken to their logical conclusion. The validity of the New Rite of Episcopal consecrations is one such hotspot within more extreme sections of the 'traditionalist' culture. Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations Courtesy of SSPX.org Why the new rite of episcopal consecration is valid Introduction This comprehensive study was compiled to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest problems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, we present a study of this question concluding that it is valid. Following the Council, in 1968 a new rite for the ordination of bishops was promulg...

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R...
