聖若瑟被尊為普世教會的護守者，他以謙遜、信德與勇氣，默默守護聖家，也守護著教會。 讓我們懇求聖若瑟，為整個教會、教宗良十四世和本人轉禱，也守護每位忠於信仰的人。 我們也特別為世界和平，特別是中東的局勢祈禱！#大聖若瑟 #老若瑟 《萬福聖若瑟》 萬福，聖若瑟，你充滿恩寵， 主與你同在。 你在男子中受讚頌， 你淨配瑪利亞胎中的耶穌， 同受讚頌。 聖若瑟，耶穌的養父， 求你現在和我們臨終時， 為我們罪人祈求天主。亞孟。 English Saint Joseph is venerated by the Church as the Patron of the Universal Church. With humility, faith, and courage, he silently protected the Holy Family and continues to protect the Church. Let us especially ask for the intercession of Saint Joseph to guard the whole Church, Pope Leo XIV, and myself, and to protect all those who remain faithful to the faith. We also pray in a particular way for peace in the world, especially for the situation in the Middle East. #StJoseph #oldyosef Hail Saint Joseph Hail, Saint Joseph, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among men, and blessed is Jesus, the fruit of the womb of your spouse Mary. Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray to God for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Italiano San Giuseppe è venerato dalla Chiesa come Patrono della Chiesa universale. Con umiltà, fede e coraggio egli custodì silenziosamente la Santa Famiglia e continua a custodire la Chiesa. Chiediamo in modo speciale l’intercessione di San Giuseppe perché protegga tutta la Chiesa, Papa Leone XIV e anche me, e custodisca tutti coloro che rimangono fedeli alla fede. Preghiamo anche in modo particolare per la pace nel mondo, specialmente per la situazione in Medio Oriente. #onomastico #Giuseppe Ave San Giuseppe Ave, San Giuseppe, pieno di grazia, il Signore è con te. Tu sei benedetto fra gli uomini e benedetto è Gesù, il frutto del seno della tua sposa Maria. San Giuseppe, padre putativo di Gesù, prega Dio per noi peccatori, adesso e nell’ora della nostra morte. Amen.

Un cisma de la FSSPX «causará un daño grave y duradero a la Iglesia» El Cardenal Zen pide a la FSSPX confiar en el Papa León XIV y evitar el cisma infocatolica.com/?t=noticia&cod…

O cardeal Joseph Zen, proeminente defensor da missa tridentina, exortou a Fraternidade São Pio X (FSSPX) a evitar o cisma dando ouvidos às explicações do papa Leão XIV sobre o Concílio Vaticano II. Em comentário publicado ontem (6) na rede social X, o bispo chinês de 94 anos falou sobre as discussões em andamento entre a Santa Sé e a sociedade, que disse que ordenará bispos sem aprovação papal. O comentário de Zen segue os dos cardeais Gerhard Müller e Robert Sarah, que criticaram a sociedade por prosseguir com seu plano de consagrar bispos, desafiando a Santa Sé. “O papa Leão XIV é um homem que ouve”, escreveu o cardeal. “Ele compreende e fará com que seus filhos compreendam que certas coisas perpetradas em nome do chamado espírito do Concílio, mas contrárias à tradição da Igreja, não são conciliares”. Ele disse que até mesmo os tradicionalistas estão divididos sobre as consagrações da FSSPX. “Um cisma deve ser evitado a todo custo, porque causará danos graves e duradouros à Igreja”, disse Zen. “Por outro lado, também devemos respeitar um grande problema de consciência: Como podemos forçar alguém a seguir doutrinas que claramente negam a sagrada tradição da Igreja?” Zen acusou o prefeito do Dicastério para a Doutrina da Fé (DDF), cardeal Víctor Manuel Fernández, de querer “desmantelar as tradições da Igreja”. “A FSSPX foi enviada para dialogar com o chefe do Dicastério para a Doutrina da Fé, mas será que se pode esperar algum resultado desse diálogo?” O cardeal chinês comparou as discussões entre a FSSPX e a DDF à história bíblica de José do Egito e seus irmãos. Zen identificou a FSSPX como José, Fernández como os irmãos de José e o papa Leão XIV como Rúben, que salvou José de seus irmãos. A Fraternidade São Pio X (FSSPX) — que celebra exclusivamente a missa tridentina — publicou uma declaração no mês passado defendendo sua decisão de consagrar bispos e o impasse nas negociações com a Santa Sé. Segundo o direito canônico, um bispo que consagra outro bispo sem mandato papal incorre em excomunhão automática, junto com aquele que foi consagrado. 📌 Siga @acidigital para mais conteúdo católico.

［懷念李東彪修士］ 我與李東彪修士差不多同一時間進入鮑思高神父的大家庭，我1944年進入上海慈幼備修院，也是1944年，李修士因為打仗，由九龍步行到香港仔工業學校，餓極的他得到慈幼會給他麵包。彪叔時常說，到今天仍記得修會給他那塊麵包的滋味。 而「麵包，工作，天堂」正能總結這位良善心謙修士的一生。慈幼會給他麵包，他則以一生去為這個大家庭服務——彪叔早年曾在不同的慈幼會學校教授工科，之後協助會省工作，又打理得修院井井有條，照顧神父修士的飲食，每朝早會與工友一起打掃操場中跌落的樹葉；而每年的聖誕節，大家都會期待他搭建的大型馬槽。 《人似浪花》中的歌詞如是說：「人似浪花，片刻失去，昨天的你，會否相聚？明天路向，不知道望哪方去。」今天，李東彪修士正在踏上天堂的道路上。讓我們都效法他，努力服務，承行主旨。 明天路向？會否相聚？當然會，就是在天父家中。#SDB #CIN #RIP #SalesianBrother （本文為本人原創作品，歡迎轉發分享，但請註明出處，並請勿擅自修改或以個人名義重新發表。謝謝！）

SSPX Update 25.0: Cardinal Zen has published a statement on the SSPX going ahead with the Episcopal Consecrations Cardinal Zen seems to be more sympathetic like Bishop Schneider on the topic saying 'Let us place our trust in Pope Leo". Here it is in full and translated: "It seems that even traditionalists are divided over the SSPX case. This is very understandable; there are two things to consider. What's the problem with conscience? "What's wrong with you?" "So how can the case be resolved? The SSPX were sent to dialogue by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, but is there any hope from this dialogue?" Reading the first reading and the following psalm response from today's Mass, it seems to me that one can see it this way: Joseph ─ SSPX Joseph's brothers ─ Cardinal Tucho Reuben ─ Pope Leo (perhaps with the help of His Excellency Schneider) ""Joseph's brothers hated him." What's the point of disfavoring the Church's traditions? What's the point? So is there no hope left? There's Reuben, the good brother! There's Leo, the good Father! The unity of God's family is dear to him! But what if his children don't accept the Council?" "Pope Leo is someone who listens! He understands and will make his children understand that certain things perpetrated under the name of the so-called "spirit of the Council," but contrary to the Tradition of the Church, are not of the Council!" "What TLM Mass? Clearly, it is a mistake to want to eliminate it! The Novus Ordo did not respect the intentions of the Council Fathers (His Excellency Athanasius Schneider has gathered abundant evidence on this). Pope Benedict, when he speaks of a "reform of the reform," admitted the possibility of the two forms of liturgy of the Roman Mass mutually enriching each other." "Let us place our trust in Pope Leo; he began his catechesis on the Council Documents; it is to them that we must all return!"

El Cardenal Zen pide la intervención de León XIV en el caso de la Fraternidad de San Pío X: “probablemente Tucho estaría contento de verles excomulgados”. “¡Leon XIV es alguien que escucha! Entiende y hará entender a sus hijos que ciertas cosas perpetradas con el nombre del llamado "espíritu del Concilio" , pero contrarias a la Tradición de la Iglesia, ¡no son del Concilio! ¿Y la Misa tradicional en latín? ¡Obviamente es un error querer eliminarla! El Novus ordo no respetó las intenciones de los Padres Conciliares (S.E. Athanasius Schneider ha recogido abundantes pruebas al respecto)" El purpurado Advierte también: “Tucho, que tiene la intención de deshacer las tradiciones de la Iglesia, ¿cómo podría no odiar a la SSPX? ¡Probablemente estará encantado de verlos excomulgados!”.

Full text of Cardinal Zen's X post: The SSPX Case Friday, 2nd week of Lent Faced with the SSPX case, it seems that even traditionalists are divided. This is very understandable, as there are two things to consider: A) Schism must be avoided at all costs, because it will cause serious and lasting damage to the Church; but on the other hand, B) We must also respect a major problem of conscience: “How can we force someone to follow teachings that clearly deny the Holy Tradition of the Church?” So, how can the case be resolved? The SSPX has been sent to dialogue with the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, but is there any hope for this dialogue? Reading the first reading and the following responsorial psalm from today's Mass, it seems to me that we can see it this way: Joseph = SSPX Joseph's brothers = Cardinal Tucho Ruben = Pope Leo (perhaps with the help of His Excellency Schneider) “(Joseph's) brothers hated him.” How can Tucho, who intends to undo the traditions of the Church, not hate the SSPX? He will probably be happy to see them excommunicated! So is there no hope? There is Ruben, the good brother! There is Leo, the good Father! The unity of God's family is close to his heart! But what if the children do not accept the Council? Pope Leo is a good listener! He understands and will make his children understand that certain things perpetrated in the name of the so-called “spirit of the Council,” but contrary to the Tradition of the Church, are not of the Council! And what about the Traditional Latin Mass? It is clearly a mistake to want to eliminate it! The Novus Ordo did not respect the intentions of the Council Fathers (His Excellency Athanasius Schneider has gathered abundant evidence in this regard). When Pope Benedict speaks of “reform of the reform,” he has admitted the possibility of mutual enrichment between the two forms of the Roman Mass liturgy. Let us place our trust in Pope Leo, who began [his Wednesday general audience] catechesis on the Council documents, to which we must all return! #SSPX #PopeLeo x.com/cardjosephzen/… @CardJosephZen

Cardinal @CardJosephZen on the SSPX Affair: Trust Leo rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2026/03/cardin…

Cardinal Joseph Zen, an outspoken conservative prelate, has urged the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) to avoid schism by listening to Pope Leo XIV’s explanations of the Second Vatican Council. catholicnewsagency.com/news/270291/ca…

NEW: Cardinal Zen on the SSPX. Warns against a schism but adds: “one must also respect a major issue of conscience, ‘how can one force someone to follow teachings that evidently deny the Holy Tradition of the Church?’” “Tucho, who intends to undo the traditions of the Church—how could he not hate the SSPX? He will probably be delighted to see them excommunicated!” Cdl Zen urges trust in Pope Leo XIV to resolve the situation

Il Caso SSPX Venerdi 2 settimana di Quaresima Davanti al caso dei SSPX sembra che anche i tradizionalisti siano divisi. Il che è molto comprensibile, ci sono due cose da considerare. A Un scisma bisogna evitare con ogni sforzo, perchè causerà un serio e duraturo danno alla Chiesa; ma d’altra parte B bisogna anche rispettare un grosso problema di coscienza, “come si può obbligare qualcuno a seguire degli insegnamenti che evidentemente negano la Santa Tradizione della Chiesa?” Allora come si può risolvere il caso? Gli SSPX sono stati mandati a dialogare con il capo del Dicastero della dottrina di Fede, ma c’è un minimo di speranza da questo dialogo? Leggendo la prima lettura ed il seguente salmo responsoriale della messa di oggi mi sembra si possa vedere così: Giuseppe ─ SSPX   i fratelli di Giuseppe ─ Card. Tucho Ruben ─ Papa Leone (magari con l’aiuto di S.E. Shneider) “i fratelli (di Giuseppe) lo odiavano”. Tucho che intende disfare le tradizioni della Chiesa, come può non odiare i SSPX? Sarà probabilmente contento di vederli scomunicati! Allora non c’è più speranza? C’è Ruben il fratello buono! C’è Leone, il Padre buono! Unità della famiglia di Dio gli sta a cuore! Ma se i figli non accettano il Concilio? Papa Leone è uno che ascolta! Capisce e farà capire ai suoi figli che certe cose perpetrate con il nome del cosidetto “spirito dell Concilio”, ma contrarie alla Tradizione della Chiesa, non sono del Concilio! E la messa TLM? Evidentemente è un errore volerla eliminare! Il Novus ordo non ha rispettato le intenzioni dei Padri Conciliari (S.E. Athanasius Schneider ha raccolto abbondanti evidenze al riguardo). Papa Benedetto, quando parla di “riforma della riforma” ha ammesso la possibilità dell’arrichirsi a vicenda delle due forme di liturgia della Messa Romana. Mettiamo la fiducia nel Papa Leone, ha iniziato la catechesi sui Documenti del Concilio, è ad essi che dobbiamo tutti tornare! #SSPX #PapaLeone #Tucho #Shneider #liturgia oldyosef.hkcatholic.com/?p=2269
