Prayer Intention for Bishop Tissier de Mallerais

We ask for prayers for His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais.

On the morning of Saturday 28 September, after the Angelus, he fell on the stairs of the seminary in Ecône and lost consciousness. He is currently in hospital.

He suffered a fractured skull accompanied by internal haemorrhaging, but his condition has stabilised.

He is gradually coming out of the induced coma in which he had been placed, and his prognosis is no longer life-threatening.

Although still unable to communicate, he is responding quite encouragingly to medical requests.

Further tests are under way to determine the extent of the damage. Hospital staff are optimistic, but his condition remains serious, and the consequences of the trauma uncertain.

We thank all the faithful for their prayers for this intention.

UPDATE

Unfortunately, the news about Bishop Tissier de Mallerais is not good.

His Lordship has still not regained consciousness, and this is worrying, as it is now five days since the doctors stopped the sedatives.

The evolution of the situation is in the hands of Divine Providence.

Prayers are needed more than ever.

The following sermon for the Feast of Christ the King was delivered by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), on October 29, 1989 in Dublin, Ireland. 

Today we must pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ, we must pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary to remain true Catholics and to do everything possible to be­come saints. We must come to church frequently, pray in our church, receive the graces of the sacra­ments in order to become saints, to sanctify our souls and to go to heaven with all the members of our families and all those who kept the Catholic Faith here on earth and now enjoy the happiness of heaven.

The Mysterious Origins of Lent
The Mysterious Origins of Lent

by Angelus Press

Catholics today understand the Church’s observance of Lent and Holy Week has undergone significant changes over two millennia.  But how, and when did the practice begin?

Geography, divergent spiritual traditions, and even differences in calculating the date of Easter (Pascha) contributed to diverse liturgical practices across Christendom—practices which themselves have morphed within the local churches from which they originally arose.
