Traditional Latin Mass this Sat. 9:00 A.M. April 18th
Leonine Prayers Said at end of every Low Mass
St. Louis IX Pray for us
( The Priest Hernandez speaks)
WELL mayst thou say that these are fearful times,
Therefore be firm, be patient! There is strength,
And a fierce instinct, e'en in common souls
To bear up manhood with a stormy joy,
When red swords meet in lightning! But our task
Is more and nobler! We have to endure,
And to keep watch, and to arouse a land,
And to defend an altar. Think on this,
And gird your hearts with silent fortitude,
Suffering, yet hoping all things.
