Wow, Ekim what a beautiful testament. Your love and devotion for your mother earned you some truly special graces. It couldn't have always been easy. We all say we want grace but the minute suffering hits us we want it taken away. We forget that it is not cheap. Your story is so edifying and encouraging, with so much food for thought. God bless your mom.

Myrna is correct. This problem of people being in the dark about a great many things is not limited to the SSPX. I am in constant amazement when I see or hear people who are generally quite intelligent make statements that display an amazing amount of ignorance about actual facts.

Wallflower your comment made me immediately think of this prayer.

PRAYER OF ST AUGUSTINE (Made public by order of Pope Urban VII.)

Before Thy eyes, O Lord, we bring our offences, and we compare them with the stripes we have received.
If we consider the evil we have wrought, what we suffer is little, what we deserve is great.
What we have committed is very grave, what we have suffered is very slight.
We feel the punishment of sin, yet withdraw not from the obstinacy of sinning.
Under Thy lash our inconstancy is visited, but our sinfulness is not changed.
Our suffering soul is tormented, but our neck is not bent.
Our life groans under sorrow, yet mends not in deed.
If Thou spare us we correct not our ways: if Thou punish we cannot endure it.
In time of correction we confess our wrong-doing: after Thy visitation we forget that we have wept.
If Thou stretchest forth Thy hand we promise amendment; if Thou withholdest the sword we keep not our promise.
If Thou strikest we cry out for mercy: if Thou sparest we again provoke Thee to strike.
Here we are before Thee, O Lord, shameless criminals: we know that unless Thou pardon we shall deservedly perish.
Grant then, almighty Father, without our deserving it, the pardon we ask for; Thou who madest out of nothing those who ask Thee.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
