J.M.J.
Feast of St. Joseph
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Confessor
…That which is conceived... is of
the Holy Ghost
(from
today's Holy Gospel, Mt. 1.18-21)
“We
don't understand it,” says the readily posed common objection by
the post-Vatican II generation – and even by a number of elder
Catholic folks - against the Traditional Roman Rite of Divine Worship
in Latin (the Traditional Latin Mass).
When
St. Joseph learned of the Most Blessed and Immaculate Virgin bearing
Child, although he did not knew Her,
he thought of dismissing Her privately rather than exposing Her
publicly – his confession of Her perfect fidelity in chasity but it
was a confession of a perfect soul in “dark night:” how was it
made possible without
offense against God and men? God only answered that the conception of
the Child was entirely by the operation of the Holy Ghost – this
should suffice; and Joseph, a just man that he is, did not murmur,
“I still don't understand...,” for God's work need not conform to
our sens[e]-ible manner of appreciation.
Thus,
the objection, among a host of its possible conclusions, only betrays
that what was proposed to be rather 'rationalized' was already
actually something else:
other than that same perfect
sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost that was the pattern of
the Tabernacle and Temple service of the true God in
the Old dispensation (which was man's preparation to adore at the
foot of the Crucified – the real Lamb of God Who
takes away the sins of the world by the shedding of His Most Sacred
and Precious Blood). From the service
of God – why all the
redeemed, from the Summus Pontifex
down to the least layman, are directed towards the
primacy and centrality of God
“really, truly, and substantially” (The Roman
Catechism) present as our
King before all ages,
delight[ing] to
be with [us], on His exalted
throne [why the traditional Catholic altar is high
– elevated] in His sacred court
[why the Traditional Catholic Sanctuary is arranged as a “royal
court” - not the Protestant celebration 'stage' for
commemorative-Supper-fellowship], cf., our post “The CatholicSanctuary Prefigured of Old – II” - to the service and cult of
man: the “People of [non-'Catholic God' – according to the
'presiding' usurper (why, cf., our post The powers of heaven shall be moved)]” is the one really addressed and made the
“New” focal point of the reverse orientation and direction (the
Immaculata in
battle-array does not
apologize about it: “diabolical disorientation”) and this sense
of the 'spirit' of Vatican II, oozing from its very heart which is
the “New 'Mass'”, was not lost to the subconscious power of the
mind which would only logically require a 'rationalization' of this 'right'. And that
therefore the “New Rite of 'Mass'” is not the work of our eternal
High Priest but a
“fabrication” (Card. Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, Preface
to Msgr. Gamer's “Reform of the Roman Liturgy”) conceived
of perverted men is evidenced by
the impious hands of a Freemason, a dum[b]y of the
Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9;
3.9) - Bugnini, modeling the sanctuary of the “New Church”
temples after the Masonic chambers (cf., our post “Catholic
Sanctuary II”, link already provided above) - assisted by the
heretical leaders of “Bible-only” sectarians [why the interior of
the “New Church” temples do not differ also from their
'table'-furnished ones].
Pope
St. Pius X taught that the Holy Sacrifce of the Mass is “the
perfect and highest form of prayer.” And one of the “royal”
roads to the heights of authentic prayer where there is the pervasion by the Holy Ghost, our Father St. John
of the Cross, in his Ascent of Mount Carmel, teaches: “not by
understanding.”
A most blessed Feast to everyone!
