Prayers for men as Father's Day approaches (5)

As a man, you have assisted at The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and you have received the most Blessed Eucharist on your tongue and when you return to your pew, you pray this traditional prayer which identifies you as one who has been chosen by God to be separated from communion with the ungodly.

Now is not the time for a faux humility, now is not the time to try and intellectually dissolve that which God has accomplished so far in you and desires to perfect in you; you are not like all other men, God has chosen you and you must accept His choice like a man, you must come to know, appreciate, and accept that fact and you must Bless the Lord for having chosen such unworthy men like me and thee.

Now is the time to accept the truth as Divinely Revealed to men; He has set us apart from communion with the Messias-Deniers, Protestants, Schismatics of the East, Apostates, Atheists, and the neo-pagans and we must act like ones set apart and chosen before the foundation of the world; we must be Roman Catholic men who refuse to deceive ourselves or to lie to others about the ineluctable truth that the Holy Roman Catholic Church is exclusive and that if those outside of the Roman Catholic Church desire Salvation and Sanctification (The reasons Jesus established His Church ) then they must convert and try to save their immortal souls.


Invocatio Post Communionem

O Lord God almighty, thy blessed Son! who graciously hearest them that call upon thee in uprightness, who knowest the prayers of those even who are silent; we thank thee for thou hast deemed us worthy to partake of thy sacred mysteries thou hast given to us, for fully strengthening our faith in those things which we so well know, for the preservation of piety, and for the forgiveness of our sins; for the name of thy Christ has been invoked upon us, and we have been joined to thee.

O thou who has separated us from communion with the ungodly, unite us with them that are consecrated to thee, strengthen us in the truth, by the coming of the Holy Ghost, teach us the things we know not, supply our deficiencies, confirm us in the truths we already know.

Preserve thy priests blameless in thy service. Keep kings in peace, magistrates in justice, the air salubrious, thy fruits in abundance, the world in thy almighty providence. Pacify nations that are waging war. Convert them that are astray.

Sanctify thy people; preserve thy virgins; keep in fidelity them that are in wedlock; strengthen the chaste; lead little ones to mature age; confirm the newly initiated; teach the catechumens and make them worthy of initiation; and gather us all together into the kingdom of heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord.


To whom, together with thee, and the Holy Ghost, be glory, honor, and adoration for ever. Amen
