    • Happy New Year and many thanks to Matthew and Mater Dominici for Cath Info.

    You are aware the abortion act commences in Ireland tomorrow. How one should feel differs to what one must do.

    As you know many have been praying for the demise of the treasonous Irish government.

    I shall be spending the next couple of hours in prayer.

    • We usually eat and play Bingo, while wearing funny hats, for which we have small prizes.

    If we have mass on New Year's Day available, we go. I like to make lots of appetizers on the holy day and we just kind of munch on those throughout the day.

    I usually make a resolution or two.

    How do you bring in the New Year? Any special family traditions?


    Singing Te Deum in church on the 31st. You get a plenary indulgence for doing so.
    Alas I have no traditional church near me, so the indulgence shall not be mine.


    Traditionally, on the 31st was prayed the "Parce Domine" twice then the "Miserere" (Psalm 50) before midnight in repentence for our faults and offences of the past year.  Then the Te Deum was prayed to thank God for his graces and protection.

    This is a good devotion to pray at home if your chapel isn't having Midnight Mass which was also a Catholic tradition.


    That's interesting.  I'd like to do that.  It would also be nice to pray Matins at Midnight.  Many years ago when I was in the Novus Ordo, we had a holy hour of reparation from 11-12, followed by Mass at Midnight.  It must have been a carry over.

     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

    Happy New Year 2014 to all!

    We usually attend the Holy Mass since the Feast of Mary, Mother of God is a Holy Day of Obligation in the US.

     :smile:


    The Newchurchers drew this one out of the hat, with a triple purpose:

    1)  Eliminate the Feast of the Circuмcision (because it's an embarrassment when dealing with our "elder (big) brothers" in the faith, and we are all about feeling good about ourselves).

    2)  Abandon the longstanding Feast of the Divine Maternity on October 11th, which they didn't want to think about every time they recalled their landmark M.R.S. of 1962.  But they had to have a replacement date on the Newcalendar for a diversionary tactic, thus, Jan. 1st became the target date.

    3)  As it were a 'bonus' -- the Eastern Church could be given a nod of recognition, including the Orthodox, who have a significant preference for "Mother of God" over "Divine Maternity."

    You could say there was a fourth purpose, but it's the same one that apples to ALL the Newcalendar changes:  the overall effect of the changes was to instill confusion among the faithful, for that was the most prominent effect of them all, including this one.  They never admitted they were trying to instill confusion, but since the overall effect was just that, and they never did explain any good reason for all the changes, once they were set in place they multiplied in a quasi-feeding frenzy of change throughout the abominable 1960's.  If we think we are having a hard time now, try to imagine the time Catholics were having in the 60's.  A significant number of regular church-goers simply stopped coming to church.  


    Oh -- Happy New Year!  Christ is Born!  Happy Feast of His Circuмcision!

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.
