Gloria Patri!

Dear friends and families
This morning in Rome we are preparing to leave for the ordination to the holy priesthood of the soon to be Father Yousef Marie and Father Magdala Maria. What a wonderful grace for our Congregation to receive these two brothers as priests. It is also a grace for this "most small institute" to have its first two priests ordained by the Pope's Almoner, Archbishop Pozzo whom we knew so well when he was Secretary of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei. I invite you to join us in thanking the Blessed Trinity for these graces by offering, in the custom of St Alphonsus, three Glory be's...

GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Devotedly
Fr. Michael Mary, F.SS.R.
