This picture of the Holy Father arrived in my email the other day. What a beautiful picture! Are those red shoes I see poking out from underneath his cassock?
Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II were buried in papal red leather shoes. Pope Benedict XVI has restored the custom of wearing red shoes or loafers, which are provided by the pope's personal cobbler.
i wish they'd consider bringing back the papal tiara. and just bringing back the TLM period. no more NO Masses. thta would be a day of glory to God. it really would be. get rid of the NO, and have only the TLM. now that would be wonderful!
well, if the sspx is ever reunited with rome, and bishop fellay ever becomes a cardinal, ( yes there is hope) perhaps he will be our pope one day! all things are possible with God! if one of the bishops of the sspx ever becomes a cardinal, perhaps one day one of them will be pope. and if that ever happens, then the church will completely return to tradition. now this is something WORTH praying for! praise God!
Germans have awesome shoes! I love my Finn Comfort sandals and my Sydney Birkenstocks.
But, Anna B. said that previous Papas' had red shoes, but why? Does it harken back to why Cardinals are called to wear red? For what ever reason, he looks smashing.
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

He does know how to make a grand entrance, doesn't he?
One brick at a time. He's restoring Tradition one brick at a time.
May God give our Pope a long reign.
