18 June 2008 - A good day!


"18th June, 2008 -
A good day!"


I received a kind message from Jean-Paul,
a Catholic in France,
regarding our canonical status.

He alerted me to this post:
and the response made to it by
Professor Luc Perrin of the Strasbourg University.

I made the following reply to Jean-Paul:

Dear Jean-Paul

Thank you for your kind email and your hope that our community will flower in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Thank you too for your concern and fraternal charity. Please thank Professor PERRIN on our behalf for his insights and expertise on these matters.

On Friday, 18 June, we will celebrate the second anniversary of our coming into undisputed Communion with the Holy See through his Eminence Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos. Professor PERRIN says that it is a long time to have waited without a canonical structure; a record. ("Bref deux ans sans statut, c'est à ma connaissance unique dans l'histoire des sociétés traditionnelles.")

Still, to all our friends we say that since we continue to rejoice in our decision of two years ago and have not the slightest regret for making such a good choice, and since 'patience hath a perfect work', I invite you to be glad with us this Friday, 'being confident of this very thing, that He who hath begun a good work in' us 'will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus'.(Phil. 1:6)
To Whom alone be Glory, Praise and Thanksgiving for ever.

Devotedly
Fr. Michael Mary

P.S. I will post this also on our blog.

Dear Fathers and brothers of the Transalpine Redemptorists,
what a joy to hear that you and the FSSPX will be canonically established at the same time.
The Pope of Christian Unity is truly a great Pontiff!
God bless

"Let nothing disturb thee; nothing affright thee. All things are passing. God never changes. Patient endurance attaineth all things. In whom God possesses, nothing is wanting. Alone, God suffices." (St. Teresa of Avila)

The Transalpine Redemptorists have the living experience of St. Teresa's beautiful bookmark. Your Order is a beautiful example of fidelity and patience. May our Good God reward you with a bountiful harvest. God bless each and everyone of you!

An Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops, Priests, Religious and Faithful

Image
Dear Catholic Soul, We have just concluded our General Chapter where we considered our Congregation and its vocation in the Church and in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand where the Bishop had decreed its expulsion. The attached letter expresses the convictions of our Congregation. This is not a task we embrace lightly. We have considered the array of possible punishments that the hierarchy may use against us - all mentally terrifying really, yet buttressed in the knowledge that the hierarchy has broken with the chain of command, which renders it human, and spiritually null. But when Our Lord’s honour is at stake, silence becomes a form of betrayal. We therefore take up this work with trembling hearts but with firm conviction, desiring only to defend the Holy Name of Jesus Christ and the purity of His Spouse, the Church. “ Every one therefore that shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father Who is in Heaven. But he that shall deny Me before men, I will ...
