Select St. Michael the Archangel Novena – Day 9

St. Michael the Archangel Novena – Day 9

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, we honor you as a powerful protector of the Church and guardian of our souls. Inspire us with your humility, courage and strength that we may reject sin and perfect our love for our Heavenly Father.

In your strength and humility, slay the evil and pride in our hearts so that nothing will keep us from God.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray that we may be protected from the snares of the devil, that we may avoid all occasions of sin.

St. Michael the Archangel, you are the prince of angels but in your humility you recognized that God is God and you are but His servant. Unlike Satan, you were not overcome with pride but were steadfast in humility. Pray that we will have this same humility.

It is in the spirit of that humility that we ask for your intercession for our petitions…

(state your petitions)

“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

My View For Awhile: First leg

And so it begins.

Lord, thank you for this day.

The realization that I have forgotten a couple things just rolled over me. I shall have to remedy this with swift errands and/or orders. It isn’t mission critical but it’s pesky and should be easily remedied.

Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for my readers and benefactors.

Sts Cosmas and Damian – my confirmation name saints – intercede in their favor with God for their true needs.

UPDATE

Can I just add that I thoroughly appreciate getting a text when my bag is loaded on the plane.

Daily Rome Shot 1132 Waking Giancarlo – Sending Giancarlo. Some Greek and Latin

Waking Giacarlo in the sala of the Archconfraternity with the recitation of the Office of the Dead.

If you enlarge, you will see a sign on one of the candles written in ancient Greek.

It is

ΘΑΝΏΝ
ΑΣΤΈΡΑΣ
ΟΙΚΟΝ
ΕΧΕΙ

Just to help, that’s something like, “now dead he has a dwelling in the stars”

I am not sure where this is from, but I have a suspicion it’s an ancient epigram.

Removing the pall, you can see also a larger version of the other epitaph on the other candle.  In Latin.

 

Which is…

IOHANNI CAROLO CRASSO
ARCHISODALITATIS
SANCTISSIMAE TRINITATIS IN URBE
CAMERARIO
LATINARUM GRAECARUMQ LITTERARUM PERITO
SACRARUMQUE CAERIMONIARUM MAGISTRO
IN EOD AUGUSTAE TRIADIS TEMPLO PEREGRINATOR
DIUTINA AEGRITUDINE FIRMITER SUSTENTA

QUI TAM RECTE VIXIT QUAM PIE EXIIT
ANNOS XLIII MENSES VIII DIES X
LACRIMARUM TRIBUTA MAESTARUM
REQUIEM IN PACE
BEATAE GLORIAM AETERNITATIS 
LUCTUOSI OPTANT SODALES

It’s a lovely inscription.   Giancarlo, who taught Latin, would probably have enjoyed you giving your own accurate yet smooth version, as Foster would have said.

I missed his funeral by a few days.

Daily Rome Shot 1131 – Clerical Guyabera!

Thanks go out to an unknown reader who sent some items from my wishlist.  No slips were included in the box and or the envelope, so I don’t have a clue as to who you are or how to send a thank you note.  So… if you recently sent something and didn’t hear from me, thank you.  The angels know who you are and you are included in my prayers.

Hey Fathers!  How about a clerical Guayabera shirt?

In churchy news… Ed Pentin has a piece at the National Catholic Register about newly appointed consultors for the Dicastery (Congregation) for the Doctrine of the Faith.  HERE   In the list of appointments, I didn’t see either a native English speaker or an African.  Most are Italian.  A couple of them would never have entered into my strangest imaginations to appoint.

This is worth a read.  At the UK’s Catholic Herald, an article about how Francis wrote to the Cardinals telling them to tighten the belt and work for zero deficit.  They are going to have to resort to “seek external resources to cover operating costs” and then those who do well should “contribute to cover the general deficit”.   Also, he has urged “mutual collaboration and synergies”.   There’s a really interesting point at the end of the article about a “Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican”.  Check it out.

Card. Pell was not available for comment.

Something popped across my screen that I did  four years ago, namely, my reading of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 44, from my daily Twitter series of all of the Bard’s Sonnets. Yup, I did them all, 154.  I threw in some other poets too, for variety, like GK Chesterton, and  That was a fun project. I was challenged my one of you readers to do it because Patrick Stewart was doing it during COVID Theater.

Latin Collect for St. Pio, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina – 23 September

It took some time but I dug up the Latin Collect for St. Pio, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Pio of Pietrelcina 23 Sept

Collecta

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui sanctum Píum, presbýterum, crucis Fílii tui singulári grátia partícipem esse donásti, et per eius ministérium misericórdiae tuae mirabília renovásti, concéde nobis, ut, eius intercessióne, passiónibus Christi iúgiter sociáti ad resurrectiónis glóriam felíciter perducámur. Per Dóminum nostrum.

This could be used in the TLM.

Corpus Christi Watershed has a PDF with the chants for his Mass with the 1962 Missal.  HERE  The Introit is Os iusti.    The readings assigned in the NO are (EP) Gal 2, 19-20 (GOSP) Mt 16:24-27.
