TODAY MORE THAN OTHER TIMES IT IS URGENT TO PRAY FOR CATHOLIC PRIESTS.

 

His Holiness Pius XII, CELEBRATING HOLY MASS

When it is thought that not even the Blessed Virgin can do what a priest can do; 

When it is thought that not even the Blessed Virgin can do what a priest can do;

When it is thought that neither the angels, nor the archangels, nor Michael, nor Gabriel, nor Raphael, nor any prince of those who defeated Lucifer can do what a priest;

When it is thought that only a priest can forgive sins and that what he binds at the bottom of his humble confessional, God, bound by His Own Word, binds him in heaven, and what he unties, at the same moment unleashes God;

When it is thought that Our Lord Jesus Christ, at the Last Supper, performed a miracle greater than the creation of the universe with all its splendors, and that was to convert the bread and wine into His Body and His Blood to feed the world; and that this marvel, before which angels and men kneel, can be repeated every day by a priest;

 When it is thought that humanity has been redeemed and that the world subsists because there are men and women who feed every day on that Body and that redeeming Blood that only a priest can perform;

When it is thought that a priest when celebrating at the altar has an infinitely greater dignity than a king and that he is neither a symbol, nor even an ambassador of Christ, but rather it is Christ himself who is there repeating the greatest miracle of God;

When you think that the world would die of the worst hunger if it were to lack that little bit of bread and that little bit of wine;

When you think that this could happen, because priestly vocations are lacking; and that when that happens the heavens will be shaken and the earth will explode, as if the hand of God had stopped supporting it; and the people will howl with hunger and anguish, and will ask for that bread, and there will be no one to give it to them; and they will ask for the absolution of their sins, and there will be no one to absolve them, and they will die with their eyes open by the greatest of terrors;

When you think that a priest is needed more than a king, more than a military man, more than a banker, more than a doctor, more than a teacher, because he can replace everyone and no one can replace him;

When you think about all this, one understands the immense need to promote priestly vocations;

One understands the eagerness with which in ancient times each family longed for a priestly vocation to emerge from their womb, like a rod of tuberose. "

When one thinks and meditates on all this, one understands the urgent need to pray for Catholic priests, who are fewer and fewer offering the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass as God intended.

 That is why we ask you dear readers to raise your prayers for these few Catholic priests so that God protects them from the evil one and his hosts whose purpose is to end the true Sacrifice of the Mass.

If these worthy ministers of God stop celebrating the Sacrifice of the Mass, divine wrath will be unleashed on earth because there will no longer be mediators between God and man, what a sad day that will be. Are we prepared for that day when the true Sacrifice of the Mass ceases? Do we not already feel and live the ravages in the world due to the lack of true and holy mediator priests between God and men? It remains to take a look at the world to verify what the psalmist says: “God looks from heaven to the sons of men, to see who is intelligent and seeks God. But they have all gone astray together and have become depraved. There is not one who does good, not even one. " (ps. 13. 1-3)

Note. This year many good priests who are friends of mine have died, others are in a coma and others intubated, your prayers are necessary for those of us who are still healthy and, please, ask your relatives and acquaintances to pray for us and for vocations.

You know well that our prayers are especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, thank you in advance, your servant:

 R. P. Arturo Vargas Meza.
