Resistance setup in France!

 Resistance setup in France! 

 

It is with great joy that we are able to announce the foundation of the Union Sacerdotale Marcel Lefebvre, established yesterday, 15th July, at the Dominican convent in Avrillé (France). HE Bishop Richard Williamson will consecrate the foundation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary during solemn Mass at 11am this morning, 16th July, feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

The association will aid the organisation of the material needs and apostolate of the priests persecuted and abandoned because of their fidelity in the combat for the faith and to the heritage of Archbishop Lefebvre. Fr de Mérode was unanimously named coordinator for France.

We, lay faithful, will have more than ever a determining rôle to play in this combat: a courageous increase in effort in the practice of the virtues in order to merit for ourselves and for our dear priests an abundance of Grace, as well as a generous selflessness in doing everything possible to materially help one another.

Let us begin by joining Bishop Williamson and the loyal priests in their thanksgiving, thanking our Heavenly Mother for having encouraged this edifying priestly union. May She make us worthy of this favour and may She bless and sanctify it so that her Son might reign and souls might resist Satan's every proposition, however subtle.

Deo gratias!
