Pray for Ukraine and Russia: Communique from the General House Asking for Prayers for Ukraine

It is a necessity for us to pray for those suffering in the Ukraine from the onslaught of Putin.  

While Putin has his reasons (more on that in the coming weeks) I believe that God would not hold him alone to blame for these events.

In other words, this moment in time is not independent of actions taken by both sides in the years that followed the collapse of the USSR.

So we have an obligation to pray for the people of  Ukraine and also the people of Russia because all need the grace of God.

I would also add the praying for the Consecration of Russia would obviously be in order!

At the request of Fr. Basil Kovpak, Superior of the Society of Saint Josaphat (SSJK), and the SSJK’s priests and faithful they minister to, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), invites all members of the SSPX and the faithful to pray for Ukraine.

Let us ask God, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, venerated in Ukraine especially in the name of her glorious Assumption, for spiritual help for the Ukrainian faithful. Pray as well for the protection of Ukraine’s churches and chapels, especially those located in the east of the country.

Fr. Basil and the priests of the SSJK thank you in advance for your charity in praying for those suffering the anguish of war while facing an uncertain future.

The Society of Saint Josaphat

The SSJK, named for the Hieromartyr St. Josaphat Kuntsevych (1584-1623), is a fraternity of Ukrainian Catholic priests who use the Slavo-Byzantine Rite. The SSJK has been associated with the SSPX since its founding in 2000. Placed under the patronage of St. Josaphat, the SSJK was founded by Fr. Basil. Its purpose is the formation of priests to serve Catholic parishes throughout the country. The SSJK also operates a seminary and has a branch of female religious. The SSJK’s priests minister to thousands of faithful throughout Ukraine.

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ 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

Is it sinful to attend the Novus Ordo (New Mass) - Is it Sinful to Not Attend the Novus Ordo on Sunday?

By
+ JMJ A non-SSPX Catholic is upset over the SSPX statements on not attending the Novus Ordo Missae. Ladies and gentlemen, what the SSPX, or at least its website editor, is advocating is a mortal sin against the Third Commandment.  Unless the priest deviates from the language of the Sacramentary, the consecration, and thus the rest of Mass is to be considered valid.  No one may elect not to attend Mass simply because abuses are occurring therein.  Might I suggest that such absenteeism is its own abuse?  The Third Commandment binds under mortal sin.  Father So-And-So from the SSPX has no authority whatsoever to excuse attendance at Mass, be that Mass ever so unpalatable. Source:Restore DC Catholicism Well, this is interesting. First why does the SSPX issue this statement? Because it is sinful to put your faith in danger by attending a protestant service.  It is likewise dangerous to put your faith in danger by attending a protestantized mass (ie the Novus Ordo Missae

Catholic Culture - The Edgar Schein Model Analysis of the Pre and Post Conciliar Culture

By
 + JMJ    So ... I was thinking ... I've used Edgar Schein's (RIP) organizational cultural model (link ) in my research  ... why not apply it in a comparison between the Catholic Organizational Culture - PRE and POST Second Vatican Culture? Of course, this will be from my own perspective, I'm certain that others will think differently. 😁 Also, apologies for a rather long article. Graphic: https://mutomorro.com/edgar-scheins-culture-model/ Below is a quick mapping of the cultural factors that I could think of.  Since the Church is vast and composed of millions of Souls, it is necessarily a limited cultural map.  Yet, I think it will still be useful to assess what has changed since the Second Vatican Council.

Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit

By
+ JMJ Something that always and I do mean always causes me to cringe interiourly is when non-Trad Catholics use the words "Holy Spirit" instead of "Holy Ghost". First, this is a natural response because of long usage of "Holy Ghost" as soon as I hear the word "Holy" in a prayer, my brain automatically is prepped to hear "Ghost" afterwards.  This creates a short period of interiour dissonance (discomfort). Now the question I would like to ponder today is whether or not there is a difference and whether or not there is a right way vs wrong way.
