RICHARD COLLINS REQUIESCAT IN PACE

RICHARD COLLINS 

REQUIESCAT IN PACE

Richard Collins the author of the Linen on the Hedgerow, as you are probably already aware as sadly passed away.

Like others, I think he was an wonderful man. 

Anyone who has read his blog can testify that he was devout, loyal to the Church and Her teachings, he was a defender of the One True Faith, and he had a great sense of humour (even with the knowledge that we are knee-deep in a crisis in the Church today). He certainly kept me going with a cheery word, and was always ready to answer my questions when organising Latin Masses. He also gave us his heart felt support, with the work we are doing in Lincolnshire, to return the authentic Catholic Faith, in this spiritually barren part of the world. 

Last Thursday, a final Latin Mass was said at Richard's bedside. He died fortified by all the rites of Holy Mother Church, and his final moments were accompanied by his family praying the holy Rosary.

Please pray for the repose of his eternal soul and for his family.

THE CATECHISM OF POPE PIUS X & ON MODERNISM

THE CATECHISM OF POPE PIUS X

Q: Where are the members of the Church to be found?

A: The members of the Church are found partly in heaven, forming the Church Triumphant; partly in purgatory, forming the Church Suffering; partly on earth, forming the Church Militant.

It is too long for this post so click here for the Catechism of Pope Pius X

Pope Pius X On Modernism

Despite a relatively hard reputation Pope Pius X was in reality an extremely kind man, and Pope, who was born poor and who said that he wanted to "die poor". The video contains a talk concerning Pope Pius X and modernism.

'Moments ago these were frightened men who gathered only behind locked doors, in secrecy. They were huddled together in fear. But now they go forth to the crowds and boldly proclaim Christ. They have gone from fear to faith, from cowardice to courage, from terror to testimony'.

Ascension Thursday in the Latin Rite & The Litany of the Saints in Latin.

THE LITANY OF THE SAINTS IN LATIN.

There is no reason to post this today apart from the fact that it is a work of great beauty... 

In the Traditional Latin Rite it is Ascension Thursday

THE CROWNING OF MARY QUEEN OF HEAVEN

THE CROWNING OF MARY
QUEEN OF HEAVEN

By his encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam, Pope Pius XII, recognising traditional precedents, proclaimed the "Queenship of Mary". While May devotions may differ in various countries, the Marian title Queen of May exists identically in several countries as manifested in Marian songs such as:

Hail Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May! O spotless, blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. Your children, humbly bending, Surround your shrine ... 

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!

Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

GOD OR ATHEISM

WHICH IS MORE RATIONAL?

An excellent 5 minute university module video which encorporates St. Thomas Aquinas' theological proofs of the existence of God.

"The conclusion that God exists doesn't require faith. Atheism requires faith. It requires faith to believe in everything coming from nothing. It takes only reason to believe in everything coming from God."
