Saint Catharine of Siena (1347-1380) was the last but one of twenty-four children. In her childhood, she chose Jesus for her Spouse (Epistle). Subjecting her delicate body to frightful mortifications, her only support during her prolonged Fasts was Holy Communion (Postcommunion).

She received, from The Crucified Lord, The Stigmata and Inspired Knowledge concerning the most profound Mysteries of Religion. It was by her persuasion that Pope Gregory XI left Avignon, France, to return to Rome, Italy.

When, like Christ, she had reached her thirty-third year, she entered Heaven with her Divine Spouse to take part in The Nuptial Banquet (Gospel) in The Holy Joys of The Eternal Passover (Introit, Alleluia).

"Let us offer to God, on this day, The Sacred Host embalmed with the Virginal Perfume of Blessed Catharine" (Secret), so that He may grant us, in return, Life Eternal (Postcommunion).

Mass: Dilexisti.

Saint Catharine of Siena, Third Order of Saint Dominic, T.O.S.D. (25 March 1347 in Siena – 29 April 1380 in Rome), was a Tertiary of The Dominican Order and Scholastic Philosopher and Theologian. She also worked to bring the Papacy of Pope Gregory XI back to Rome from its displacement in France (Avignon) and to establish peace among the Italian City-States.

Since 18 June 1866, she is one of the two Patron Saints of Italy, together with Saint Francis of Assisi. On 3 October 1970, she was proclaimed a Doctor of The Church, by Pope Paul VI, and, on 1 October 1999, Pope Saint John Paul II named her as one of the six Patron Saints of Europe, together with Benedict of Nursia, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Bridget of Sweden and Edith Stein.

"The Devil Hates Latin".

The Devil Hates Latin.

A new Novel from REGINA Press

An African is elected Pope, as The Barque of Peter encounters heavy seas.

Everywhere, The Faith and The West are in decline. [Editor: What a surprise !!! ]

Ominously, Occult Practices have corrupted the elites, the Media and powerful men in The Church.

The new Pontiff faces this unprecedented challenge, alone, until an embattled American Cardinal sends his best Exorcist to Rome, a young Dominican Priest with hard experience combating the Devil -- in Latin -- on America's mean streets.

Meanwhile, a US Media mogul, an indifferent Catholic targeted for his Politics, flees America with his family for The Eternal City. There, they find a despondent Society where Italians no longer marry and have children. Indeed, all hope seems lost until a beautiful Roman girl takes a brave stance against the rising tide of despair.

Gritty, fascinating and impossible to forget, "The Devil Hates Latin" sweeps from New England to The Tiber, and, ultimately, to a Renaissance Palazzo nestled in the Green Hills of Umbria, building to a shattering confrontation, as GOOD summons the courage to face the menace of the gathering forces of EVIL.

Jasna Góra Monastery (Polish: Jasna Góra, Luminous Mount, Hungarian: Fényes Hegy, Latin: Clarus Mons) in Częstochowa, Poland, is a famous Polish Shrine to The Virgin Mary and one of the Country's places of Pilgrimage – for many the Monastery is a Spiritual Capital.

The image of The Black Madonna of Częstochowa, also known as Our Lady of Częstochowa, to which miraculous powers are attributed, is one of Jasna Góra's most precious treasures.

The site is one of Poland's National Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as of 16 October 1994  and is tracked by The National Heritage Board of Poland.

Among the Monastery's many treasures and artifacts of interest is the medal from the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize received by Lech Wałęsa, the former Polish President and Trade-Union Organiser.

The pathetic tale of The Catholic Church in Ireland continues to unfold. The latest chapter is that, because of a Priest shortage, there will be "no Masses" said on Tuesday in the entire Diocese of Limerick -- something that hasn't happened in almost two Centuries.

The Diocese and the Media tell us there will only be "Lay-led Liturgies of The Word" (God be praised, this Catholic has no idea what that even is, and will die happy never knowing).

Normally, we wouldn't really care that all the Novus Ordos dried up in a Diocese. Why would we ? We Pray they all die on the vine around the World. But we did find this a good time to correct the Diocese of Limerick and the Media.

There will indeed be Masses said there on Tuesdays. Two of them, in fact, by The Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest CLICK HERE FOR MASS TIMES AND LOCATIONS

You can read the full -- yet incomplete -- story, for the record HERE, BY THE IRISH TIMES.

So, history truly is being made on Tuesdays in Limerick. This will be the first time in nearly fifty years, the first time since Pope Paul VI invented and imposed his committee-made new Mass, on The First Sunday of Advent, 1969, that the only Mass a Catholic can attend in an entire Irish Diocese will be The Traditional Latin Mass.
