As Cardinal Mercier said : "When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere."                                                                                  From Cardinal Sarah : "In order to avoid hearing God's music, we have chosen to use all the devices of this world. But heaven's instruments will not stop playing just because some people are deaf."                                                                                              Saint John-Paul II wrote: "The fact that one can die for the faith shows that other demands of the faith can also be met."                                                 Cardinal Müller says, “For the real danger to today’s humanity is the greenhouse gases of sin and the global warming of unbelief and the decay of morality when no one knows and teaches the difference between good and evil.”                                                  St Catherine of Siena said, “We've had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues - I see the world is rotten because of silence.”                                                  Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”                                                Brethren, Wake up!

VISIT OF THE GRAND MASTER TO THE SOVEREIGN PONTIFF

It is a pleasure to be able to share a video of the recent official visit of His Most Eminent Highness the Grand Master to Pope Benedict in the Apostolic Palace on 25th June 2011, in connexion with the feast of our Blessed Patron Saint John the Baptist.  The Grand Master makes regular less formal visits to His Holiness regularly throughout the year.

Fra' Matthew presented the Pope with, among other gifts, a finely bound copy of the new Regulations and Commentary on the Code and Constitution of the Order.


Ad multos annos!
