Today Double Feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius

Double Feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Bishops and Confessors
Missa "Sacerdótes Tui"


Almighty, eternal God, Who didst grant the peoples of Slavonia to come to the knowledge of Thy name through Thy blessed Confessors and Bishops, Cyril and Methodius, grant that, as we glory in their Feast, we may be joined with them in fellowship.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, forever and ever.Amen.

Have regard to our prayers, we beseech Thee, O Lord, and to the oblations of Thy faithful, that they may be pleasing unto Thee on the Feast of Thy saints, and may draw down on us the aid of Thy mercy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.

Almost one year ago..

I'm returning over and over trying to correct my daily prayer life, knowing that without prayer and total commitment to God and to my Catholic Traditional Faith there is no salvation.
I need prayer as my daily source of living, but .. alas, there are so many strong temptations like Facebook games or other political preoccupations.. The most important thing is to stay strong and vigilant, to keep myself connected to Faith through prayers. That's why I'm starting blogging again and again.. God keep me praying and blogging.
God bless you all

Prayer to our Lady of Mount Camel ( 7- 15 July)



O blessed Virgin, full of grace, Queen of all Saints, how sweet it is for me to venerate thee under the title of our Lady of Mount Carmel.
It takes me back to the days of the prophet Elias, when thou wast prefigured on Mount Carmel under the form of the little cloud, from which, as it increased, there fell a kindly rain, symbolic of the sanctifying graces that come to us from thee.
Even from the days of the Apostles, thou hast been honored under this mystic title; and today I am filled with joy at the thought that we are united with those first clients of thine, and in union with them we salute thee, saying: O beauty of Carmel, glory of Libanus, thou purest of lilies, mystic rose in the flowering garden of the Church.
Meanwhile, O Virgin of virgins, be mindful of me in my misery, and show thyself my Mother.
Shed upon me ever more and more the living light of that faith which made thee blessed;
inflame me with that Heavenly love wherewith thou didst love thy dear Son, Jesus Christ.
I am filled with miseries both spiritual and temporal. I am straitened by many sorrows in body and soul, and I take refuge, like a child, in the shadow of thy motherly protection.
Do thou, Mother of God, who hast such power and might, obtain for me from blessed Jesus, the Heavenly gifts of humility, chastity, and meekness, which were the fairest ornaments of thine Immaculate soul.
Do thou grant me to be strong in the midst of the temptations and bitterness, which so often overwhelm my spirit.
And when the days of my earthly pilgrimage are accomplished according to God's holy will, grant that my soul may obtain the glory of Paradise, through the merits of Christ and thine intercession. Amen.
