Brother Paul TOSF who is in our fraternity showed me a very interesting book last Saturday so I asked him to send me this information.  It concerns the "Fatima" prayer that we say after each decade of the rosary "O My Jesus....." and it was written in 1882 by Rev. Joseph Cacelia. 

The bogus ordo says it wrong and we never really had a lot of information on it but we knew that Bishop Louis would never steer us wrong!! Here is proof positive that the true Catholic Church said this prayer the correct way long before Fatima happened!!!

Little actions are great when they are well done.  A little action done for the glory of God, with a great desire to please Him is more agreeable to Him than a great one performed with less fervor.  We must, then, study especially to do well little things which are so easy, and which offer themselves at every moment, if we would grow in the friendship of God.

Jesus vouchsafes to teach us how to die.  If He in His great hour would have His Mother by Him, how shall we dare to die without her?  In all things must we imitate Jesus, although it be in a sphere so infinitely below Him.  But most of all it is of importance to us to imitate Him in His death.....Let us leave to God, without dictation or even wish, the time, and place, and manner of our death, so only that it be not an unprovided death and above all things not unprovided with Mary.

 Nothing will prepare a smoother death bed for ourselves than a lifelong daily devotion to those who are daily dying.  Mary assisted her Son to die in many mysterious ways.  By His will, and in the satisfaction of her own maternal love, she has now assisted at the death beds of many millions.  She has great experience by this time, if we might speak, and is wonderfully skilled in the science of the last hour.  By prayerful thoughts, by pious practices, by frequent ejaculations, by the usages the Church has indulgenced, let us win a bright and gentle end for ourselves by following Mary everywhere to the death beds she attends.

 History, when truly and fully written, proves that all the notions entertained by our separated brethren on the matter are but the lying artifices of the mischievous, intended to deceive, and that whenever and wherever Luther's abominable principles and his Protestantism triumphed, they succeeded by violence, torture, persecution and the power of wicked princes against the struggle for protestations and the manifest will of the people.  Everywhere that they attained control of the government which they invariably sought, they overthrew religious liberty and imperiously imposed their new-fangled beliefs on the country and on the people thereofThis may seem a very strong statement, but the facts of history confirm it most abundantly.

The Facts of Luther

 Non-Catholics, as a rule are not familiar with the degrading teachings which Luther expounded in his infamous work on "Slave Will."  They have never been given an opportunity to study this volume at first hand and find out for themselves the destructive principles therein advocated.  Their ignorance of the facts has been taken advantage of, and they have been made to believe that their leader, who declared man's will to be a "slave will" was the real and only one who promoted liberty in the sixteenth century, by breaking the fetters of religious bondage and securing for all perfect freedom of conscience and thought.  This view has been repeated so often by the maligners of truth that they have come to imagine that as soon as the people of Europe got the Bible - Luther's Bible, mistranslated, changed, and altered - they abandoned the Mother Church, rushed into the new man-made form of religion of their own accord, and at once established civil and religious liberty for everybody.  The story is fascinating .  It tells against Rome, and therefore thousands upon thousands have been deceived into giving it credence.  What, however, is the hard, cold, plain truth in this case?

The Facts of Luther

St. Ignatius of Loyola trampling on the heretic Martin Luther with the power of the Holy Eucharist. (Church of St. Nicholas, Prague)

"When you become acquainted with his (Luther's) horrible teaching, you will not wonder that to him the word "liberty", which excites a thrill and stirs the deepest feelings of the soul, had little or no significance.
The truth is that Luther rarely spoke or wrote of liberty in the sense in which we know and realize the God given boon.  It is a well known fact of history that he did not favor that freedom of thought which later became the vogue among his progeny.  Liberty, as he understood the word was solely for himself, but not for others.  With him it was a personal matter .  All men were free to differ with the Pope, to reject his teaching, to curse him to the lowest depths, were even invited and encouraged to slay him like a wolf or robber, and wash their hands in his blood and that of his cardinals  and other adherents, but they must not dare to differ from Martin Luther."
