Today, at a distance of some twenty centuries, Peter’s Successor, the Bishop of Rome, stands before that same empty tomb and contemplates the mystery of the Resurrection. Following in the footsteps of the Apostle, I wish to proclaim anew, to the men and women of our time, the Church’s firm faith that Jesus Christ “was crucified, died and was buried”, and that “on the third day he rose from the dead”. Exalted at the right hand of the Father, he has sent us his Spirit for the forgiveness of sins. Apart from him, whom God has made Lord and Christ, “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we are to be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Thank you Father, for this quote from the magnificent speech of Pope Benedict XVI at the Holy Sepulchre. Deo Gratias.
Father: Please, I need your prayers. Presently I attend a sedevacantist chapel. I go there because it is reverent, blessedly quiet, and quite peaceful. I am not sure what to believe any more. This month of May I have been praying to Our Lady to let me know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what to do.
Will you pray with me and for me please?
Thank you.

Dear Father,
How do we at Our Lady and St. Joseph's parish connect with Golgatha monastery and also those Catholics in Orkney that are not a part of our parish?
It would be wonderful if all Catholics in Orkney were connected!!
Did you know that we now have the Orkney Schola? For now, until the end of May, we are meeting at Our Lady and St. Joseph's kirk at 9:45am. We'll be changing location to West Mainland after but but still meeting every Saturday morning *except* the first Saturday of each month.
Father, would any of you from Golgatha Monastery + our fellow Catholics ever be able to meet up for learning Latin, praying the Rosary and other such devotions, to pray for Orkney and ask God to bring the Faith bursting to life here in our islands? I pray for this every single day... but I feel so very alone in this! And yet how many Catholics are here in Orkney? Plus we have all of you!!
I hope that you see this comment! God bless!!!!

Boniface VIII - Unam Sanctam - 1302
“We are obliged by our faith to believe and to hold that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic; We firmly believe in her, and we confess absolutely that outside of this church there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins… Furthermore, we declare, state, define and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” Denz. #468,469
