PRAY TASMANIA GETS A WEEKLY LATIN MASS
Précibus Sancti Patrícii, Epíscopi et Confessóris tui, Divínam tuam obsecrámus Majestátem: ut nos te cólere, te adoráre permíttas secúndum ritum Latínum Sanctæ Románæ Ecclésiæ tráditum, cunctis saltem diébus Domínicis et festis:
Acceptábilis tibi sit, Dómine exercítuum, hæc oblátio munda; quam per beáti Patrícii labóres ab ortu solis usque ad occásum magno nómini tuo in géntibus offérri voluísti. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
******
Through the prayers of St Patrick, Thy Bishop and Confessor, we entreat Thy Divine Majesty, that Thou permit us to worship and adore Thee according to the Traditional Latin Rite of the Holy Roman Church, at least on all Sundays and Holy Days:
May this clean oblation be acceptable unto Thee, O Lord of hosts, which, through the labours of blessed Patrick, from the rising to the setting of the sun, shall be offered unto Thy great Name among the nations, as Thou hast willed. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
PRAYERS FOR POPE FRANCIS & ARCHBISHOP JULIAN
Orémus pro Pontífice nostro Francísco. R/. Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
Orémus pro Antístite nostro Juliáno. R/. Stet et pascat in fortitúdine tua, Dómine, in sublimitáte nóminis tui.
******
(Let us pray for Francis our Pope. R/. The Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
(Let us pray for Julian our Bishop. R/. May he stand and shepherd in Thy strength, O Lord, in the sublimity of Thy name.)
OUR LADY OF COLEBROOK
We fly to thy patronage, O Holy Mother of God: despise not our petitions in our necessities, but ever deliver us from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
St Mary of the Cross
St Mary, pray for Australia and Australian Catholics; obtain for us deliverance from the unjust actions of bishops and priests; intercede for us that we may for now bear these trials as our apportioned cross, and at length overcome by patience and fidelity, as you did while on earth; now in heaven, be our advocate by your holy merits and glorious suffrages.
To hand over to others what I've contemplated...
Sicut enim majus est illuminare quam lucere solum, ita majus est contemplata aliis tradere quam solum contemplari.
(S. Thomas Aquinatis, S. T., II-II, clxxxviii, 6, resp.)

Il Papa che parla...
As for the use of the 1962 Missal as a Forma extraordinaria of the liturgy of the Mass, I would like to draw attention to the fact that this Missal was never juridically abrogated and, consequently, in principle, was always permitted.
… it has clearly been demonstrated that young persons too have discovered this liturgical form, felt its attraction and found in it a form of encounter with the Mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist, particularly suited to them.
What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.

PRAYER FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF MATTEO RICCI, S.J. (1552-1610)
Eternal Father, Who didst send Thine Only-begotten Son into this world to redeem mankind, kindly hear our humble prayer, and grant the favour we ask at the intercession of the Servant of God Father Matteo Ricci, an outstanding preacher of the Gospel by Thy providential plan, one of the first to harvest the field made sacred by Saint Francis Xavier; who, as soon as he became a missionary in China, spread far and wide the teaching of Christ, and wisely guided countless souls along the road to salvation and sanctity; may it please Thee, therefore, to glorify him on earth, as we believe he is glorified in heaven, and to add his name to the list of the Blesseds and Saints; for his elevation to the honours of the altar would give greater glory to Thee and to Thy Church, and greater edification to the Chinese Christians who so courageously live their faith and their charity. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Intercession of G. K. Chesterton
God our Father, Thou didst fill the life of Thy servant Gilbert Keith Chesterton with a sense of wonder and joy, and gave him a faith which was the foundation of his ceaseless work, a hope which sprang from his enduring gratitude for the gift of human life, and a charity towards all men, particularly his opponents. May his innocence and his laughter, his constancy in fighting for the Christian faith in a world losing belief, his lifelong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his love for all men, especially for the poor, bring cheerfulness to those in despair, conviction and warmth to lukewarm believers, and the knowledge of Thee to those without faith. We beg Thee to grant the favours we ask through his intercession, [and especially for …,] so that his holiness may be recognized by all, and the Church may proclaim him Blessed. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pater, Ave, Gloria, Credo.
Viva il Pastore Tedesco!

Chosen by Moses to lead the people of God into the promised land, * you led them through the waters of the Jordan. * Thus, by your actions as well as by your name * you foreshadow the saviour, who leads us through the waters of baptism. * O holy prophet, Joshua, * beg him now to save our souls.

PRAY FOR THE REUNION OF ANGLICANS WITH THE SEE OF ROME
V/. Pray for them, O Holy Mother of God.
R/. That they may be one in the Church of thy Son.
The Collect for the Anglican Use
O HOLY Ghost the Lord, who on Pentecost gavest the Church the gift of tongues that Christ might be known, loved and served by peoples of divers nations and customs: watch over the Anglican heritage within thy Church, we pray thee, that, led by thy guidance and strengthened by thy grace, that Use may find such favor in thy sight that its people may increase both in holiness and number, and so show forth thy glory; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Son, one God world without end. Amen.

the extraordinary form of the roman rite in perth, western australia
The Traditional Latin Mass is celebrated daily at St Anne's, Perth, Western Australia, by Fr Michael Rowe, official Latin Mass Chaplain of the Archdiocese of Perth. Sunday Masses are at 7.30am (Low), 9.15am (Missa Cantata) and 11.15am (Low). Confessions are heard before all Sunday and weekday Masses, and afterwards if need be. Weekly programme includes sung Mass on feast days, Holy Hours with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and the Holy Rosary before all Masses. Fr Rowe also travels to Bunbury once a month to supply the Traditional Mass in that diocese. For more information please contact Fr Rowe on (08) 9444 9604.

Well knowing your interest in history/theology etc I thought I would take the opportunity to bring to your attention something that "False Coyne" (h/t to you for the apt moniker!) is plugging on Catholica.
I refer to Fr Donovan's piece on the trial of Pope Formosus - a very interesting piece truly deserving of a "Fisking" if ever there was one!
http://www.catholica.com.au/gc2/dd/017_dd_271109.php
Briefly I have noted that:
i. Donovan doesn't refer to any actual period sources on the historical events but rather relies on modern narrative histories - a sure sign of a quality historian if ever there was one including use of Wikipedia!
ii. he makes this interesting claim which is completely wrong and undermines his "Eurocentric" argument from the outset:
"Vatican II was the first Council in which bishops other than Europeans participated. Indigenous bishops gathered from around the globe in solidarity with the Pope, a Church in the power of the Spirit."
-if Fr Donovan had bothered to consult the attendance list at Vatican I Council he may have been surprised to note that there was attendance by several Eastern Catholic prelates who were not European eg. Patriarch Youssef comes to mind who championed Eastern Catholic (read non-Latin) rights!
iii. This interesting gem:
"Vatican II is under revision and the reasons forthcoming from Church authorities are little better than those presented against Formosus."
-Fr Donovan obviously hasn't heard of the hermeneutic of rupture/continuity debate that Benedict XVI has been conducting in his papacy...
iv. This flight of fancy which is interesting for conservative Catholics to consider that this is how the liberal folks who hold positions of power in the Catholic education structures regard them:
"If the judgement of Pope Formosus can be attributed to "fanatical hatred", it is feasible to suspect that the revision of Vatican II might have a similar motivation."
v. And an "interesting" welcome to potential Anglican converts:
"The Australian (23 Nov 2009) reported that as many as "450 Anglican parishes" from England and Wales were considering joining Catholic community. "Traditional Anglicans" disenchanted by their Church's "ordination of women and gay bishops." Is the Catholic Church to set aside Vatican II and become a haven for European malcontents or will it follow the vision of Vatican II to be a voice for the marginalised of the world?"
Looks like you've been spammed Josh!

I have deleted the detestable spam! At least on one's own blog one is master.
As an antidote to the effects of our work-obsessed times under Kevin 24/7, I suggest looking up a piece on Godzdogz, the English Dominican student blog, on the neglected virtue of eutrapelia. (Ifnothing else, it will make a good party trick to test your friends' knowledge of St Thomas!)
