I'm a holy man minus the holiness.--E. M. Forster

(Hat tip to The Ironic Catholic"!)

Sancte Michael Archangele,

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.

Happy Advent...

Don't Forget to read the Bible (Nativity narratives), go to confession, & do good deeds.
Also, Welcome to the Revised Roman Missal translation!! (3rd time's the charm!! ;^}D)
Oh, and "BOO" on St Anthony Messenger Press for putting out the missal cheat card that says NOTHING about the breast striking during the Confiteor AND bowing during the Nicene Creed! ;^{/

Cut 1,000 souls a break!!

Nov. 2, All Souls Day: Jesus told St. Gertrude that 1,000 souls will be releasedfrom Purgatory every time the following prayer is said devoutly: "Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."
