Then again, there is also May 5th . . .
O God, who raised up Pope Saint Pius V within Thy Church
to uphold the faith
and to provide for a liturgy more worthy of Thee,
grant that, through his intercession,
we may participate in Thy mysteries
with a lively faith and a fruitful charity.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
O God, who for the confusion of the enemies of thy Church,
and for the restoring of the honour of thy worship,
didst appoint thy blessed Saint Pius to be supreme Pontiff:
grant that we, being defended by his intercession,
may so steadfastly follow after thy commandments,
that we may overcome all the devices of our enemies,
and rejoice in perpetual peace and security.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
