  • St. Alphonsus says that Our Lord always gives us what we ask for in the context of spiritual goods.  So in Preparation for Death he advises to always ask Our Lord for the grace of [Final/Holy] Perseverance as well as for the grace of a great love for God.  Those who do not ask for these goods are likely not to receive them.

    Quote from: St. Alphonsus
    All those who are in heaven are there for this one reason: They prayed, they asked for perseverance. All those who are in hell are there for this one reason: They did not pray and they did not ask the Lord for the grace of final perseverance.


    Prayer to Obtain Final Perseverance

    Eternal Father, I humbly adore and thank Thee, for having created me, and for having redeemed me. I thank Thee for having made me a Christian, by giving me the True Faith, and for adopting me as Thy child in baptism. I thank Thee for having given me time to repent, after my many sins, and for having pardoned all my offenses. I renew my sorrow for them, because I have displeased Thee. I thank Thee also for having preserved me from falling again, as I would have done, if Thou had not held me up, and saved me. But my enemies, do not cease fighting against me, nor will they, until I die. If Thou do not help me continually, I will lose Thy grace again. I, therefore, pray for perseverance till death. Thy Son Jesus, has promised that Thou will give us whatever we ask for in His Name. By the merits of Jesus Christ, I beg Thee, for myself and for all those who are in Thy grace, the grace of never more being separated from Thy Love. May we always love Thee in this life, and in the next.

    Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me. So I hope. So may it be.

    Amen

  • Augustine says:


    I always wondered what ever happened to Fr. Douglas Laudenschlager who was ordained in the late 70's or early 80's. He wrote some articles for the Angelus and then seems to have fallen off the face of the map.


    Fr. Douglas Laudenschlager left the priesthood a very very long time ago. I would say he needs many prayers.

  • Quote from: Augustine
    Apparently the haphazard "transfers', causing felt instability and, believe it or not, a lack of work for many priests is what causes serious psychological problems. Because of the lack of real "missionary" activity to the non-SSPX there is often "nothing to do" after Mass is said.


    Hm, I have seen them mostly overworked. Hard to imagine "nothing to do" after Mass is said.

  • How about Fr. Simoulin (sp?).  He was a French priest who offered Mass in VA Beach mission around 2001-2002.  I'm guessing he was about 40 years old at that time.  He spoke English verywell.  After he left VA Beach I never heard of him again.  He was very well liked and spoke admiringly of the Archbishop.

    Has anyone heard of him?  Where is he?

    Father Simoulin is in France where he a chaplain in the French Navy.  The last I heard he was on their largest carrier, the Charles DeGaulle.  Sadly, I think he must be saying the N.O. Mass.

  • Does the SSPX in Arcadia, Ca., still have Mary Star of the Sea located on the
    upper reservation of Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, Ca? I attended Mass there in the 1980's when Father Donohue was Pastor.
    This was the former Military Chapel.

    I also misspelled Father's name.  It is Father Eric Simonot.

  • These are two separate priests. Fr.Simoulin is still with the SSPX but in semi-
    retirement with the Dominican teaching sisters in Fanjoux. Fr. Simonot is the one who went Novus Ordo as a navy Chaplin but I believe he was with the US Navy. Too early in the morning to remember the exact French spellings!

  • Fr. Tague, Huvar, and Lester were all protégés of Fr. Ramon Angles.

  • That's correct, it was Simonot.  Thank you.  I'll be sure to remember him in my Rosary.

  • Anyone know of Fr. Richard Welch. Ordained long ago (ABL).He was in Minn some years ago but not in the society. After years alone as a true Missionary in the early society I think he was "abandoned" by the society due to "medical" problems due to his being alone like most society Priests were in the early days. Also was in Australia maybe 8-10 yrs ago (not sspx).  Maybe still there???
    Pray for him please.
    Please God, Bless him and the USA.

  • The correct name is WILLIAM Welsh not Richard Welsh.  Father is inactive at present. Needs all the prayers he can get.

    also Fr. Jason Huvar left the priesthood, married and joined the military; going to Afghanistan.

    Jason Huvar is apparently stationed at Fort Hood, Texas now.

    This link includes a picture of him in 2014 (validating that this is definitely the same Jason Huvar) story with picture.

    This link describes his wife and how they met at Mass. Interesting. story with wife
