The Church, a seamless tunic woven by the Immaculate Conception

The Virgin Mary wove Her Son’s tunic in one piece after ‘weaving’ Him into Her virginal womb. At the Council of Ephesus, She prevailed against the heresy of Nestorius when the people acclaimed the Theotokos. Yet, She did not triumph without the Pope! For he is the voice of the Church.

The Virgin and the Dragon

Saint John the Apostle’s grandiose vision of a Woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under Her feet and on Her head a crown of twelve stars is one of the scriptural foundations of the Church’s faith in Mary as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces.

Deus Mariæ: Total Theology by Father Georges de Nantes (1)

In response to Cardinal Fernandez’s note Mater Populi Fidelis, let us return to our Father’s brilliant series of lectures on “Total Theology.” He had announced: “The most beautiful lecture of my life!” It recaptures the entire tradition of the Church above and beyond the outdated “minimalist-maximalist” debate initiated at the Second Vatican Council.

Third Petition to Pope Francis

I am addressing myself to you once again like the widow who keeps bothering the judge in the parable whom you quoted as an example. Is it not you in person who said that the Blessed Virgin is above the Pope? This is what gives me the boldness to dare to entreat Your Holiness to obey Our Lady, Mother of every one of us, forever! The salvation of souls and world peace are at stake!

The Reparatory Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

On December 10, 1925, Our Lady of Fatima appeared to Sister Lucy and, beside Her, borne by a luminous cloud, the Child Jesus. The Most Blessed Virgin showed her a Heart encircled by thorns which She was holding in Her hand : “ Behold, My daughter, My Heart surrounded by thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and their ingratitude. You at least try to console Me. ” Then the Most Blessed Virgin taught her what she should do to console Her. Will you also, at least you, make these acts of reparation to remove the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce the Immaculate Heart of Mary at every moment ?

Ps 4 : The joy of sacrifice

This psalm can only be understood if we apply it to Jesus, who immolated Himself in a sacrifice of justice « for the many ». However, He knows that He will rise on the third day, in the glory of the Face of His Father, whose light He will one day make shine on us as well.

Ps 17 : Prayer against foreign invasion

VERSE 1. “Yahweh-Sedeq”, « He is Justice », a name that Jeremiah gave to the « wise king » who « will execute justice and judgement in the country. In his days, Judah will be saved and Israel will dwell in security. Here is the name with which He will be called: “Yahweh our justice”. » [...]

Infallible ? The precedent set by Saint Philomena.

In 1961, Pope John XXIII struck the feast of St. Philomena, from the calendar, refused to include her in the martyrology, and did away with her proper Office and Mass. To admit that Blessed Pius IX erred in establishing the cult of St. Philomena amounts to recognising that the cause of saints is not covered by infallibility.

Interpretation of Sūrah 1

4. “ For me, Issy Is He. ”

“ I entered the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice and I found my best master after my father, Fr. Vimal, my incomparable friend. He was an incomparable man, in his simplicity, in his perpetual joy, in his pugnacity and in this whole immense field of religious life, of the life of the Church. I always received from him the right, the profound answer that made me what I am, with a joy that freed me from all the difficulties of our time. ”
