  Sensus Fidelium video of Fr Zannetti’s sermon Solemn High Traditional Latin Mass of the Most Blessed Sacrament: In Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus by: Fr. Gregory Zannetti  Pictures of that Mass “The Book of Revelation says “They shall see the Lord face to face and bear His name on their foreheads.” Each time we receive Holy Communion we come Face to face with our Lord. This is the same Face of which is said in the book of Exodus “Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.”. The same Face described in Matthew as “shining like the sun” when Our Lord was transfigured on Mount Tabor. And yet this God of Majesty and Power comes veiled under the tiny white Host so that we can gaze upon Him and be united with Him. It is the most intimate moment of our lives. To St Catherine of Siena, it was revealed that there are three levels of prayer/intimacy between Jesus and a soul; represented by three kisses: The kiss of the Sacred Feet of Jesus, the kiss of the Sac...

The Nature of Marriage     Marriage is ordered primarily towards procreation. We hear marriage is both unitive and procreative. This is true, but the order is important. Procreation is first, unitive (love) is second. Placing these two ends of marriage on equal footing will lead to serious misunderstandings, at best, mortal sin at worst.      Marriage is a covenant.  A mere contract is an exchange- I give you this, and you give me that. A covenant is- I give you all of myself, and you give me all of yourself. In other words, the stakes are higher.  This is not to say marriage is not a contract at all. In fact, the contractual nature of marriage has been under appreciated. Marriage is a matter of justice. A husband and wife give themselves entirely to one another. The body of one spouse, is at the reasonable disposal of the other spouse. Failure to use your body at the service of your spouse can even be as a mortal sin (as is the case for refusing the m...

Opinion: Fr. Gregory Hesse concluded the NOM is illicit, not necessarily invalid.  Definitions: Illicit: not allowed Valid: the Sacrament takes place eg. Orthodox Mass is valid but illicit.  Council of Trent (7th Session, 1547) "If anyone says that the received and approved rites of the Catholic Church, wont to be used in the solemn administrations of the sacraments, may be condemned, or omitted at pleasure by the ministers, or be changed by any pastor of the churches whomsoever into new ones; let him be anathema." Quo Primum - Promulgating the Tridentine Liturgy (Apostolic Constitution, 1570) "let Masses not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal published by Us. This ordinance applies henceforth, now, forever,  throughout all the providences of the Christian world." "this present Constitution...will be  valid henceforth, now, and forever. We order and enjoin  that  nothing must be added...nothing omitted...nor anythin...
