And thou shalt pour the oil of unction upon his head: and by this rite shall he be consecrated….and they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. (Exodus 29:7)
Another possible effect of the Motu Proprio could be an increase in Priestly Vocations. The Priestly Orders that offer the Extraordinary Rite of the Roman Mass have many vocations, and are building Seminaries and Monasteries in the midst of this age of destruction. The Extraordinary Mass emphasizes the Sacerdotal/Sacrifical Nature of the Mass, and puts the Presider/Communal aspect in it’s proper context. Father Gabet, the North American Superior of the FSSP, said upon seeing the Old Mass for the first time, “This is something I would give my life for”.

fabulous pictures!
Thank you Jackie.
Excellent photos indeed.
What is the name of the church in the photo that is fourth from the bottom?
I think that was the Seminary in Chicago. I can’t remember where I got it.
Do you think that the photo (the fourth from the bottom) was the Cathedral of St. Raymond in Joliet, IL?

Hello Annig, any relation? I love his work, the tag for the post is “Agemian” so hopefully folks would know who did it.
Annig,
Your Father’s works are tremendous. I am a Commander in the Navy. Over the years I have lived in many different places. During that time I have purchased a few small cases of books that contain your Father’s work from the Confraternity of the Precious Blood. I write some kind words on the inside cover and disperse them to my special friends. Your Father’s work is as compelling today as the day he was inspired to create it. I know you must have heard similar stories.
My family and I hope you read this and I hope it makes you smile.
With Highest Regards
Frank Volpe
Thank you!
