LETTER FROM THE DISTRICT SUPERIOR
In 1889 the future Pius X, then Bishop of Mantua, spoke in praise of
Christian peace in one of his sermons:
‘Let us ask for peace, peace as it is understood and desired by the chil-
dren of God: this is a peace worthy of the name, which Holy Scripture
in no way separates from Truth , Justice and Grace: it is the tranquil
performance of the Christian law, the peaceful development of works
of faith and charity, the public affirmation of the truths and the precepts
of the Gospel, the conformity of human laws and institutions with the
doctrines and moral teachings of Jesus Christ, the unceasing resistance
to the prince of darkness and all those who propagate his perverse max-
ims.’
Later, as pope, Pius X feared that there would be an all-out war in
Europe. Indeed Cardinal Merry del Val testified that on many occasions
Pius X had in 1911 and 1912 predicted the unleashing of the Great
War. When it became clear in 1914 that war was imminent the pope
was profoundly shaken nonetheless. When the Austrian Ambassador
My dear brethren,
6
came to announce the declaration of war on Serbia and asked for a
blessing for the imperial armies Pius X replied: “Tell the Emperor that
I can bless neither war nor those who have desired war. I bless peace.”
On August 2nd the Pope published an exhortation, which was to be his
last pontifical act, urging Catholics of the entire world, whichever
camp they belonged to, to turn to “Him from Whom alone help can
come, Christ, the Prince of Peace and mankind’s all merciful Mediator
with God.” The pope’s soul was indeed torn by the most painful sor-
row for the salvation and life of so many individuals and peoples, and
all the testimonies agree that the outbreak of the World War pro-
foundly shattered Pius X and that the news of the first battles over-
whelmed him with suffering. Suffering from a bronchial-pulmonary
condition the pope offered his poor life as a holocaust so as to prevent
the massacre of so many of his children. Fortified by the last Sacra-
ments he expired on August 20th uttering an act of trust in the Ve-
netian dialect, “Jesus, Joseph and Mary, I give you my heart and my
soul.”
***********
Whilst the centenary of St Pius X’s ‘birthday into heaven’ should be a
joyful occasion, it is alas marked by ongoing conflicts in different parts
of the world, not least in the Middle East, precisely because man seeks
an absence of war rather than that true peace of which Bishop Sarto
had spoken.
Hence our thoughts and prayers are with those suffering in Iraq and
Gaza, not least ‘those of the household of the Faith.’ Details of how to
sponsor a Christian family may be found on the website of the Saint
Thomas the Apostle Chaldean Catholic Eparchy in the United
States at: www.helpiraq.org as well as at "Adopt a Christian from
Mosul" campaign at asia.news.it/en
In preparation for St Pius X’s feastday on 3rd September I have in-
cluded a novena prayer and litanies elsewhere in this newsletter. As
per this issue’s ‘servers’ corner,’ it would be laudable for the Relics of
our heavenly patron to be exposed for veneration in our different chap-
els and churches in the course of this centenary year.
Winners of the St Pius X centenary raffle will be announced on 3rd
7
September, the first and second prizes being places on the Society’s
October 2014 pilgrimage ‘in the footsteps of St Pius X.’ This pilgrim-
age concludes with the Christ the King weekend in Lourdes, whose
precise schedule can be found on the Society’s website dici.org
The three day event is offered in thanksgiving for the gift of the Faith
and for the grace to conserve fidelity to the combat for Tradition, for
the reign of Christ the King, for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, and for the Holy Catholic and Roman Church.
In attendance will be the three bishops of the Society of St Pius X , the
major-superiors the international seminaries, and representatives of
the traditional religious communities.
For other news:
Saint Michael’s School
The school again obtained excellent results in the public examinations
having achieved a 100% pass-rate in grades A-C at GCSE level.
Congratulations also go to Old Michaelian Charlie Flynn who won a
gold medal for boxing at the Commonwealth Games this summer in
his native Scotland. His courage was not restricted to the boxing-ring
as he publicly manifested his Faith by making the sign of the cross on
the awards-podium as well as wearing prominently the Brown scapu-
lar for his media interviews.
Vocations
I am happy to announce also that one of the boys from the school, by
name David Seeber, who passed his A-levels this summer, has been
accepted at the Society’s seminary in Flavigny, France. Additionally
member of staff Mr Jeffrey Godber will be joining the Traditional
Capuchins, also in France, and plans to enter as a Postulant this au-
tumn. Also, Mr Charles Byrne of Ireland is set to recommence his
studies at the Society’s American seminary of Winona. Hence we do
well to pray for the perseverance of these new candidates as well as
for our existing four seminarians in Econe and Winona.

Rosary Tallies
The Society’s international Rosary Crusade, which ended on Pente-
cost Sunday, resulted in a grand total of over six million rosaries, with
some 49,453 coming from GB and 18,500 received to date from Ire-
land. Deo gratias et Mariae!
Canterbury pilgrimage
Many thanks for the generous second collection towards this year’s
successful Canterbury pilgrimage. Totals from the different Priories
are to be found elsewhere in this newsletter. A record 150 pilgrims set
off from Rochester on the two and a half day walk to Canterbury, with
some 200 souls in attendance on the final day.
Athlone
Just as this newsletter goes to press on the Fesat of the Immaculate
|Heart of Mary, I just have received news that at long last the planning
permission has been granted for the renovation of Court Devenish
House. Fr Walliez, the new prior, sang a Te Deum in Corpus Christi
Church to mark the occasion!
With every good wish and blessing,
Father Paul Morgan
Superior

Strange to the Convert
Money Money plays a very prominent role in the Catholic Religion. The priest of-
ten mentions it from the pulpit and sometimes in vigorous language. Hardly
has the money offered at the door stopped tinkling when the Offertory col-
lection begins, and that is only just finished when the Post-Communion col-
lection starts. Then there are whist drives, jumble sales and raffles. On top
of these, parish football pools may be an embarrassment to one trained in a
Protestant notion of gambling.
Necessary
It is all necessary. The expenses of a parish are enormous. There are no
‘Livings’ in the Catholic Church, no ancient endowments, central funds or
state aid in this country, on which to rely. Moneys and salaries and the up-
keep of the Church, house and property must come from collections taken at
the Offertory of the Mass. The priests’ house is really flats for two or three
bachelors and separate apartments for housekeeper and maid. It is expen-
sive. Most parishes have a large debt on the church to pay off and the inter-
est to find yearly. Nearly all have two schools to maintain and some as
many as four. Very many have to build one or two schools, receiving inade-
quate financial support from the Government. With such demands on them
and no sources of revenue outside the parish, the parish priests cannot be
fastidious about appeals for money.
Desirable
It is desirable that money should play a prominent part in the life of the par-
ish. The collection is not merely the obtaining of money to meet the bills. It
is a practical way in which the Christian can identify himself with the sacri-
fice offered at the altar. The man gives the price of a short period of his
weeks labour, the woman the price of a loaf or a small object of clothing for
her children, the young; the price of a simple pleasure. That is a proof of
their love.
There is a close connection between the money and the Mass. It builds the
church and maintains it, provides the vestments, chalice, bread and wine and
supports the priest. The giving of it is an important act of religion and even
if a parish had no financial worries, a collection would still be desirable.
Money should be integrated with the service of God. It is sanctimonious to
be disgusted with the jingling of coins during Mass.

How to Converse continually and familiarly with God
Chapter 2: Why have you loved Me?
Consider that no one-whether friend or brother, father or
mother, lover or spouse-loves you more than your God. And
divine grace is the inestimable treasure through which vile
creatures and servants like ourselves become dear friends of
our Creator. “For she is an infinite treasure to men! Which
they that use, become the friends of God.” (Wis. 7:14) It was
for the purpose of increasing our confidence that He
“emptied Himself” (Phil. 2:7), so to speak, humbling Himself
to the point of becoming a man in order to live in familiar
converse with us. “He conversed with men.” (Bar. 3:38). He
went so far as to become a little Babe and to live in poverty
for our sake. He even placed Himself under the species of
bread so as to be with us always and in the most intimate un-
ion. “He that eateth My Flesh, and drinketh My Blood, abideth
in Me, and I in him.” (John 6:57)
In short, so great is God’s love for you that He seems to love
no one but you. And therefore, you should love no one but
Him. [That is, we should love only God with an absolute love
which supersedes every other consideration.] You should be
able to say to Him: My Beloved to me, and I to Him.” (Cant.
2:16). My God has given Himself entirely to me, and I give
my whole self to Him; He has chosen me for His beloved,
and I choose Him from among all for my only love. “My Be-
loved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands.” (Cant.
5:10)
Often, therefore speak to God in these words: “O my Lord,
why have You loved me so much? What good do ou find in
my poor self? Have you forgotten the injuries I have done
you? But since You have treated me with so much love-for
instead of having condemned me to Hell, You have given me
graces without number-I will henceforth love no one but
You, my God and my all. What grieves me most in my past
21
First Holy Communions and Baptism for the Chevrier fam-
ily at St Joseph’s London 10th August 2014
Extract from: “How to Converse continually and familiarly with God”
by St Alphonsus Liguori)
Offenses. O my loving God, is not so much the punishment I
have deserved, as the displeasure I have given You, Who are
worthy of infinite love. But you never reject a repentant and
humble heart . “A contrite and humbled heart, O God, Thou
wilt t despise.” (Ps. 50:19). Now indeed I wish forno one else
but You alone in this life and in the next. “For what have I in
Heaven? And besides Thee what do I desire upon
earth?...Thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my
portion forever.” (Ps. 72:25-26). You alone are and will al-
ways be the only Lord of my heart and will; You alone my
only good, my heaven, my hope, my all. “Thou art the God of
my heart, and the God that is my portion forever.” (Ps. 72:26).

NEWSLETTER FOR THE ARCHCONFRATERNITY OF ST STEPHEN
Servers’ Corner Relics
“Now!”
The relics of the saints may be exposed in any
church or oratory. Generally they are placed on
either side of the altar cross or between the altar
candles. They are placed here where an office is
to be celebrated but it is unbecoming to leave
them there all the time. They can also be ex-
posed near to the altar or placed upon a side al-
tar as long as the Blessed Sacrament is not re-
served there. They are not to be placed on of just
in front of the tabernacle.
When the Blessed Sacrament is exposed any
relics on the altar or in the sanctuary should not
be exposed.
The priest who exposes the relics is to wear a stole. It should be red for those of a
martyr, or of a martyr along with other saints, or white for non-martyrs. Two torch-
bearers accompany the relic when carried to the place of exposition.
In front of any publicly exposed relics at least two candles must be lit; a votive
lamp does not suffice. For relics exposed between the altar candles, it suffices that
the candles required by the office be lit. The reverence shown to a saint’s relic thus
exposed is a simple bow.
The priest may incense the relics at the beginning of their exposition and prior to
their reposition. He blesses the incense as per usual, and incenses them with two
double swings of the thurible, bowing before and after. However, when the relics
are exposed between the altar candles, they are incensed after the altar cross but
without bowing to them.
It is permitted for the priest to present the relics for the veneration of the faithful at
the communion rail. The priest holds the reliquary in his right hand and this is
kissed (BUT NOT LICKED!) by the faithful starting at the epistle side. The priest
wipes the reliquary with a purificator in his left hand from time to time.
It is permitted to give a blessing with the relic. Wearing his stole and also a cope if
desired, the priest holds the reliquary in two hands and in silence traces the sign of
the cross over the faithful.
