BLESSING
OF ROSARY
The priest wears a white
stole, and says:
Our
help is in the name of the Lord.
+ Who made Heaven and earth.
= The Lord be with you.
+ And with your spirit.
Let us pray.
Almighty and merciful God, on account of Your very great
love for us,
You willed that your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
should come down from Heaven to earth, and at the angel’s
message take flesh in the most sacred womb of Our Lady,
the most blessed Virgin Mary,
submit to death on the cross, and then rise gloriously from
the dead on the third day, in order to deliver us from Satan's
tyranny.
We humbly beg you, in your boundless goodness to bless and
to sanctify this Rosary, which your faithful Church has
consecrated to the honor and praise of the Mother of your
Son.
Let it be endowed with such power of the Holy Spirit, that
whoever carries one on his person or reverently keeps it
in his home, or devoutly prays to you while meditating on
the divine mysteries, according to the rules of his holy
Society,
may fully share in all the graces, privileges and indulgences
which the Holy See has granted to this society. May he always
and everywhere in this life be shielded from all enemies,
visible and invisible, and at his death deserve to be presented
to you by the most blessed Virgin Mary herself, Mother of
God.
Through the our same Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God
for ever and ever. + Amen. They are then sprinkled with
Holy Water
SHORTER BLESSING OF ROSARY
To the
honor and glory of Mary, the Virgin Mother of God,
in memory of the mysteries of the life, death, and resurrection
of our Lord, the same Jesus Christ,
may this crown of the most holy Rosary be blessed
and sanctified, in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. +
Amen.
(If several Rosaries are to be blessed the plural is used;
use of the stole and holy water are optional)

THE
OATH AGAINST MODERNISM
To be sworn to by all Clergy, Pastors, Confessors, Preachers,
Religious
Superiors, and Professors in Philosophical-Theological Seminaries
I (name) firmly embrace and accept all and everything
that has been defined, affirmed, and declared by the
unerring magisterium of the Church, especially those
chief doctrines which are directly opposed to the errors of
this time.
And first, I profess that God, the beginning and end of all
things, can be certainly known and thus can also be
demonstrated by the natural light of reason "by the things
that are made" [cf. Rom. 1:20], that is, by the visible
works of creation, as the cause by the effects.
Secondly, I admit and recognize the external arguments of
revelation, that is, divine facts, and especially miracles
and prophecies, as very certain signs of the divine origin
of the Christian religion; and I hold that these same
arguments have been especially accomodated to the
intelligence of all ages and men, even of these times.
Thirdly, likewise, with a firm faith I believe that the
Church, guardian and mistress of the revealed word, was
instituted proximately and directly by the true and
historical Christ Himself, while he sojourned among us, and
that the same was built upon Peter, the chief of the
apostolic hierarchy, and his successors until the end of
time.
Fourthly, I accept sincerely the doctrine of faith
transmitted from the apostles through the orthodox fathers,
always in the same sense and interpretation, even to us; and
so I reject the heretical invention of the evolution of
dogmas, passing from one meaning to another, different from
that which the Church first had; and likewise I reject all
error whereby a philosophic fiction is substituted for the
divine deposit, given over to the Spouse of Christ and to be
guarded faithfully by her, or a creation of the human
conscience formed gradually by the efforts of men and to be
perfected by indefinite progress in the future.
Fifthly, I hold most certainly and profess sincerely that
faith is not a blind religious feeling bursting forth from
the recesses of the subconscious, unformed morally under the
pressure of the heart and the impulse of a will, but the
true assent of the intellect to the truth received
extrinsically ex auditu, whereby we believe that what
has been said, attested, and revealed by the personal God,
our Creator and Lord, to be true on account of the authority
of God the highest truth.
I also subject myself with the reverence which is proper,
and I adhere with my whole soul to all the condemnations,
declarations, and prescriptions which are contained in the
Encyclical letter “Pascendi” and in the Decree, “Lamentabili”,
especially on that which is called the history of dogma.
In the same manner I disapprove the error of those who
affirm that the faith proposed by the Church can be in
conflict with history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the
sense in which they are now understood, cannot be reconciled
with the more authentic origins of the Christian religion.
I also condemn and reject the opinion of those who say that
the more erudite Christian puts on a dual personality, one
of the believer, the other of the historian, as if it were
permitted the historian to hold what is in contradiction to
the faith of the believer; or to establish premises which it
follows that dogmas are either false or doubtful, provided
they are not directly denied.
I disapprove likewise that method of studying and
interpreting Sacred Scripture, which disregards the
tradition of the Church, the analogy of faith, and the norms
of the Apostolic See, and adheres to the fictions of the
rationalists, and no less freely than boldly adopts textual
criticism as the only and supreme rule.
Besides I reject the opinion of those who hold that to
present the historical and theological disciplines the
teacher or the writer on these subjects must first divest
himself of previously conceived opinion either on the
supernatural origin of Catholic tradition, or on the aid
promised by God for the perpetual preservation of every
revealed truth; then that the writings of the individual
Fathers are to be interpreted only by the principles of
science, setting aside all divine authority, and by that
freedom of judgment with which any profane document is
customarily investigated.
Finally, in short, I profess to be utterly free of the
error according to which the modernists hold that there is
nothing divine in sacred tradition; or, what is far worse,
admit this in the pantheistic sense, so that nothing remains
but this bare and simple fact to ne assimilated with the
common facts of history, namely, of men by their industry,
skill, and genius continuing through subsequent ages the
school inaugurated by Christ and His disciples.
So I retain most firmly the faith of the Fathers, and shall
retain it until the final breath of life, regarding the
certain gift of truth, which is, was, and will be always in
the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles, not so
that what may seem better and more fitting according to each
one's period of culture may be held, but so that the
absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from
the beginning may never be believed otherwise, may never be
understood otherwise.
All these things I promise that I shall faithfully,
entirely, and sincerely keep and inviolably watch, never
deviating from them in word and writing either while
teaching or in any other pursuit. So I promise, so I swear,
so help me God and this Holy Gospel.

THE OATH AGAINST MODERNISM
Sacrorum Antistitum
To be sworn to by all Clergy, Pastors, Confessors, Preachers,
Religious
Superiors,and Professors in Philosophical-Theological Seminaries.
Ego N. (Nomine) firmiter amplector ac recipio omnia et singula, quae
ab inerranti Ecclesia magisterio definita, adserta ac declarata
sunt, praesertim ea doctrinae capita, quae huius temporis erroribus
directo adversantur.
Ac primum quidem, Deum, rerum omnium principium et finem, naturali
rationis lumine per ea quae facta sunt, hoc est per visibilia
creationis opera, tamquam causam per effectus, certo cognosci,
adeoque demonstrari etiam posse, profiteor.
Secundo, externa revelationis argumenta, hoc est facta divina,
in primisque miracula et prophetias admitto et agnosco tanquam
signa certissima divinitus ortae christianae religionis, eademque
teneo aetatum omnium atque hominum, etiam huius temporis, intelliegentiae
esse maxime accommodata.
Tertio, firma pariter fide credo Ecclesiam, verbi revelati custodem
et magistram, per ipsum verum atque historicum Christum, cum
apud nos degeret, proximo ac directo institutam eandemque super
Petrum, apostolicae hierarchiae principem, eiusque in aevum
successores aedificatam.
Quarto, fidei doctrinam ab Apostolis per orthodoxos Patres eodem
sensu eademque semper sententia ad nos usque transmissam, sincero
recipio; ideoque prorsus reicio haereticum commentum evolutionis
dogmatum, ab uno in alium sensum transeuntium, diversum ab eo,
quem prius habuit Ecclesia; pariterque damno errorem omnem,
quo, divino deposito, Christi Sponsae tradito ab eaque fideliter
custodiendo, sufficitur philosophicum inventum, vel creatio
humanae conscientiae, hominum conatu sensim efformatae et in
posterum indefinito progressu perficiendae.
Quinto, certissime teneo ac me etiam, qua par est, reverentia
subicio totoque animo adhaereo damnationibus, declarationibus,
praescriptis omnibus, quae in Encyclicis litteris Pascendi et
in Decreto Lamentabili continentur, praesertim circa eam quam
historiam dogmatum vocant.
Idem reprobo errorem affirmantium, propositam ab Ecclesia fidem
posse historiae repugnare, et catholica dogmata, quo sensu nunc
intelliguntur, cum verioribus christianae religionis originibus
componi non posse.
Damno quoque ac reicio eorum sententiam, qui dicunt christianum
hominem eruditiorem induere personam duplicem, aliam credentis,
aliam historici, quasi liceret historico ea retinere, quae credentis
fidei contradicant, aut praemissas adstruere, ex quibus consequatur,
dogmata esse aut falsa aut dubia, modo haec directo non denegentur.
Reprobo pariter eam Scripturae sanctae diiudicandae atque interpretandae
rationem, quae, Ecclesiae traditione, analogia fidei et Apostolicae
Sedis normis posthabitis, rationalistarum comentis inhaeret,
et criticem textus velut unicam supremamque regulam haud minus
licenter quam temere amplectitur.
Sententiam praeterea illorum reicio, qui tenent, doctori disciplinae
historicae theologicae tradendae aut iis de rebus scribenti
seponendam prius esse opinionem ante conceptam sive de supernaturali
origine catholicae traditionis, sive de promissa divinitus ope
ad perennem conservationem uniuscuiusque revelati veri; deinde
scripta Patrum singulorum interpretanda solic scientiae principiis,
sacra qualibet auctoritate seclusa, eaque iudicii libertate,
qua profana quaevis monumenta solent investigari.
In universum denique me alienissimum ab errore profiteor, quo
modernistae tenent in sacra traditione nihil inesse divini,
aut, quod longe deterius, pantheistico sensu illud admittunt,
ita ut nihil iam restet nisi nudum factum et simplex, communibus
historiae factis aequandum: hominum nempe sua industria, solertia,
ingenio scholam a Christo eiusque Apostolis inchoatam per subsequentes
aetates continuantium.
Proinde fidem Patrum firmissime retineo et ad extremum vitae
spiritum retinebo, de charismate veritatis certo, quod est,
fuit eritque semper in episcopatus ab Apostolis successione;
non ut id teneatur quod melius et aptius videri possit secundum
suam cuiusque aetatis culturam, sed ut nunquam aliter credatur,
nunquam aliter intelligatur absoluta et immutabilis veritas
ab initio per Apostolos praedicata.
Haec omnia spondeo me fideliter, integre sincereque servaturum
et inviolabiliter custoditurum, nusquam ab iis sive in docendo
sive quomodolibet verbis scriptisque deflectendo. Sic spondeo,
sic iuro, sic me Deus adiuvet et haec sancta Dei Evangelia.

DIES IRAE
by Father Thomas de Celano, OFM, (1185-1260) Translated by
William J. Irons, (1812-1883)
Tuba mirum spargens sonum per
sepulchra regionum, coget omnes ante thronum.
________________________
1. Day of wrath, O
day of mourning!
see fulfilled the Prophet's warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning.
2. Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth ,When from Heav’n the Judge
descendeth, on whose sentence all dependeth!
3. Wondrous sound
the trumpet flingeth, thro' earth's sepulchers it ringeth, all
before the throne it bringeth.
4. Death is struck
and nature quaking; all creation is awaking, to its Judge an answer
making.
5. Lo, the book, exactly worded,
wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
6. When the Judge His seat attaineth
and each hidden deed arraigneth,
nothing unavenged remaineth.
7. What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding
when the just are mercy needing?
8. King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
9. Think, good
Jesus, my salvation
caused Thy wondrous incarnation;
leave me not to reprobation!
10. Faint and weary
Thou hast sought me, on the Cross of suffering bought me; shall such
grace be vainly brought me?
11. Righteous Judge,
for sin’s pollution grant Thy gift of absolution
ere that day of retribution!
12. Guilty, now I
pour my moaning,
all my shame with anguish owning:
spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning!
13. From that sinful
woman shriven,
from the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.
14. Worthless are my prayers and sighing; yet, good Lord, in grace
complying, rescue me from fires undying.
15. With Thy favored
sheep, oh, place me!
nor among the goats abase me, but to Thy right hand upraise me.
16. While the wicked are confounded,
doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
call me, with Thy saints surrounded.
17. Low I kneel with
heart-submission,
see, like ashes, my contrition;
help me in my last condition!
18. Day of sorrow,
day of weeping,
when, in dust no longer sleeping,
man awakes in Thy dread keeping!
19. O, God, to judgment called are guilty men:
20. Merciful Jesus, grant rest unto them!
(Alt. Spare, Lord Jesus — in mercy spare them!
Amen.

Day of Wrath
1. Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla
2. Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando Judex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!
3.Tuba mirum spargens sonum
per sepulchra regionum,
coget omnes ante thronum.
4. Mors stupebit et natura
cum resurget creatura,
Judicanti responsura.
5. Liber scriptus proferetur,
in quo totum continetur,
unde mundus judicetur.
6. Judex ergo cum sedebit
quidquid latet apparebit:
nil inultum remanebit.
7. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
quem patronum rogaturus
cum vix justus sit securus?
8. Rex tremendæ majestatis
Qui salvandos salvas gratis
salva me, fons pietatis.
9. Recordare, Jesu pie
quod sum causa Tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die.
10. Quærens me, sedisti lassus:
redemisti Crucem passus:
tantus labor non sit cassus.
11. Juste Judex ultionis
donum fac remissionis
ante diem rationis.
12. Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
culpa rubet vultus meus:
supplicanti parce, Deus.
13. Qui Mariam absolvisti
et latronem exaudisti
mihi quoque spem dedisti.
14. Preces meæ non sunt dignæ;
sed tu bonus fac benigne
ne perenni cremer igne.
15. Inter oves locum præsta
et ab hædis me sequestra
statuens in parte dextra.
16. Confutatis maledictis
flammis acribus addictis
voca me cum benedictis
17. Oro supplex et acclinis
cor contritum quasi cinis
gere curam mei finis
18. Lacrimosa dies illa
qua resurget ex favilla
19. Judicandus homo reus
huic ergo parce, Deus:
20. Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.
Amen.

This is a new page, a beginning only
that we present for the use of Traditional Catholics— more Latin blessings, sacramentals, oaths, etc. will very soon
follow.
Most often Catholics since
Vatican II do not have the knowledge — or the resources — to
understand how Rosaries, religious medals, and other objects must be properly
blessed by a Priest — and nearly all Priests since the corruption of
Vatican II and the institution of the vernacular as the language of
the local (rather than the universal) Church, do not know how
to bless what is brought to them — and largely rely on awkwardly
improvised blessings, rather than the sacramental
blessings legitimately authorized and conferred by Holy Mother
Church for every appropriate object brought to Priests for the
Church’s blessing — not the Priest’s own blessing. We hope to redress this present absence of what has
always been a source of encouragement in using the sacramentals
that the Church offers Her children for their devotion — and yes — their
protection from evil.
