“[W]hoever acknowledges me before men, I too will acknowledge him before my Father who is in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, before my Father in heaven I too will disown him” (Matthew x, 32-33)

“Although not every Cardinal will be called to give his life in red martyrdom for the sake of the Church and, above all, for the sake of the exercise of the ministry of the Vicar of Christ on earth, he is called daily to be intrepid, to give his life in white martyrdom, steadfastly and courageously defending the Catholic Church and her holy faith in the care of Saint Peter and his successors…

“The Cardinal today is called, in a special way, to assist the Roman Pontiff in announcing all of the truths of the faith, but, in a particular way, the truth regarding the natural moral law to be observed for the good of all in society…

“The Cardinal today is called, in a special way, to assist the Successor of Saint Peter, in handing on, in an unbroken organic line, what Christ Himself has given us in the Church, His Eucharistic Sacrifice… The right order of Sacred Worship in the Church is the condition of the possibility of the right order of her teaching and the right order of her conduct.” (Homily of Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, 22 November 2010)

The Catholic eBooks Project

Provides a library of links to Christian ebooks and texts that may be read online or downloaded LEGALLY and for FREE, and are FAITHFUL to the truths that God entrusted to His one true Church.

The Project is dedicated to the Incarnate Logos:

“In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum… Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis… gratia et veritas per Jesum Christum facta est.” (S. Joannem i, 1, 14, 17)

“Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur… et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum, et regni ejus non erit finis.” (S. Lucam i, 31-33)

Prayer for the Church

O God, our refuge and our strength, look down with mercy upon the people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Saint Joseph her spouse, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in Thy mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of the Holy Mother the Church. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. (From the text of the Leonine Prayers after Low Mass at Sancta Missa)
