Call to Prayer For Priests


The paragraph below is taken from the Vatican Insider and you can read the rest of the article on the Link below.  For us it is important to pray for Fr. Helmut Schuller (picture on right) and all the Priests in Austria who are causing great harm to themselves and to the Body of Christ.  Their salvation is at stake and we need to pray for this now as it is doing great harm to the whole Church.  Each day we can pray for Fr. Schuller especially and for all those Priests in this movement.  Of course we can do more, by offering the Holy Mass, praying the Holy Rosary, the Stations of the Cross, the Contemplation of the Passion of Christ, the Litany of Saints, the Divine Mercy, and so many other prayers and we can offer our daily sufferings and fast for Mercy for our Church at this time and for all Priests.  

The bishops talk to Rome about the danger of a schism following the ‘Appeal to disobedience’ by Father Hellmut Schüller

GUIDO HORSTROME

Monday afternoon (23rd of January), in the Vatican there was a meeting between the top figures of the Austrian Episcopal Conference and the  representatives of the Roman Dicasteries to discuss the movement led by  Hellmut Schüller.

This movement is supported roughly by three hundred clerics and it openly disobeys the Roman Catholic Church with theories bordering on heresy, moreover now it wants to spread abroad creating an international net open to priests of other nations and continents.


For Pope Benedict and the Roman Curia it is time to take action against this separatist movement.  Schüller himself, inseveral interviews, did not deny his will to disengage from Rome and he added that there are priests from other countries like France, Germany and Australia wanting to join the initiative.

Eucharistic Miracle - Weiten-Raxendorf, Austria 1411

In the parish church of Weiten, a thief broke into the sacristy and got hold of a consecrated Host that he slipped into one of his gloves. According to reports from the village of Weiten, the theft occurred in 1411. The thief then mounted his horse intending to make for the nearby village of Spitz. Instead of taking the main road, he chose a side road that passes through the valley of Mühldorf and is known as “Am Schuß.”

When he arrived at the spot (that today is marked by a chapel in honor of the miracle) his horse halted and would not move, no matter how much the man beat him. Some laborers working in the surrounding fields came to help.

But there was no way to make the horse move; it stood still as a statue. Then without warning, the animal leaped to a gallop, and the Sacred Host hidden in the rider's glove dropped to the ground without anyone noticing.


A few days later, a Mrs. Scheck from Mannersdorf passed by the spot and saw the Host encircled in a strong light. In great wonder, she picked up the Holy Eucharist and noticed that the consecrated Host was broken in two Parts but remained joined together by threads of Bleeding Flesh.  Greatly moved and at her own expense, in thanksgiving, she built a small chapel on the spot. As news of the miracle spread, many pilgrims came to the place. Later, it was necessary o build a bigger church to honor the precious reliquary in order to contain the great crowds that came every year on pilgrimage.
