Glorious Saint Joseph, pattern of all who are devoted to toil, obtain for me the grace to toil in the spirit of penance in order thereby to atone for my many sins; to toil conscientiously, putting devotion to duty before my own inclinations; to labor with thankfulness and joy, deeming it an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts that I have received from Almighty God.  

(May I) work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties; to work above all with a pure intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting which I must then render of time ill-spent, of talents unemployed, of good undone, and of my empty pride in success, which is so fatal to the work of God.  

All for Jesus, all through Mary, all in imitation of thee, O Patriarch Joseph! This shall be my motto in life and in death.   Amen. 

+St. Pius X

Homily #130821b ( 14min) Play – Fr. Elias preaches on the life of Pope St. Pius X, pointing to his humility and poverty in his youth and how this remained a hallmark of his pontificate. He also addresses the fact hat he was a reformer of the Liturgy and liberalized the practices surrounding the Eucharist as a means of finally implementing the Council of Trent.  This is in contrast to the popular conception in some agenda driven circles today that he is the icon of liturgical rigidity.

The post Aug 21 – Homily – Fr Alan: Modernism & Idolatry of the Contemporary first appeared on AirMaria.com.

In the homily for the memorial of Pope St. Pius X (Aug 21), Fr. Matthias explains that Catholic theology admits of doctrinal development but rejects the idea of “evolution” of dogmas that would allow contradiction of established doctrine. Pope St. Pius X reminded us that dogmas cannot change content or meaning with time, and strenuously opposed the theory of the “evolution” of dogmas. Where there is contradiction between a theological opinion and an established dogma, there is no continuity, no development, no greater understanding of Catholic doctrine. There is simply mutual exclusion: both teachings cannot be true.

Catholics should be discerning enough to recognize and reject risky theological opinions which claim to develop dogma, but actually, contradict already-established doctrine in meaning and content.

Ave Maria!

Mass: St. Pius X – Mem
