THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron saint - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

It is not by chance that Archbishop Lefebvre wrote in his Spiritual Journey, “in the designs of the infinite wisdom of God in the re- alisation of the redemption - of the re-creation, of the renovation of humanity - the Cross of Jesus is the perfect, total, definitive and eternal solution by which all will be resolved.” One can well say that all the benefits of humanity come from Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ crucified! It is a resurrection of fallen humanity by virtue of the Blood of Jesus Christ. This is the first part of the message of Fatima.

Mary pointing to heaven

The first words of the Blessed Vir- gin Mary are these: “I come from heaven.” With these words she draws our attention to the fact that the eternal goal of every man is heaven. The seven and half billion men who live upon the earth, all that were and all that will come

The Immaculate Heart is the last hope

The Blessed Virgin Mary, instruct- ed by God, offers us a last means of salvation: devotion to her Im- maculate Heart. Why to her heart? Because God is charity. Why to her Immaculate Heart? Because we live in a world that has fallen into a neo-paganism, into a moral deca- dence that the world has never seen before.

Dear pilgrims, we accept in imitation of the three seers, Lucia, Fran- cisco and Jacinta, all the pains of this pilgrimage - the heat, the lack of sleep tonight [during the all night adoration] - to save many souls, to obtain that the Church emerges from its present state of crisis and sees a new springtime. And we ask, as representatives of our respective nations, salvation and peace upon them all. Amen.

22 September - October 2017 Both Ulf and Birgitta were Third Order Franciscans.

Magnus Ericsson became king in 1332, and Ulf became one of his closest aides, as Birgitta’s father had been to the king’s father. Mag- nus married Blanche of Namur in 1335, and Birgitta’s wisdom and vitality saw her appointed to be teacher and governess to the royal family. For Magnus she drew up a rule of life like to that of Louis IX: daily to hear Mass, recite the Lit- tle Office of Our Lady, to think on Christ’s wounds five times. In the temporal realm, she stipulated Fri- day as a day-in-session, when the king would hear the petitions of his subjects.

Heaven's Ambassador

After Ulf’s death in 1343, Birgitta desired a still-holier life. Our Lord commanded her to tell Magnus that He wanted a new convent built on his property in Vadstena, south-west of Stockholm to house no more than sixty nuns, thirteen priests, and some Brothers; the entire sum equalling the twelve Apostles and seventy-two disciples of the Gospel. A full Rule was also

23 revealed for these cloistered nuns, whose holy lives would appease the divine wrath over the proud, covet- ous, and concupiscent lives of the Swedes, of whom he asked humility and temperance.

To the wishes of heaven, Magnus was receptive but he could not re- solve himself away from his sinful ways, until, as Our Lord predicted, in 1349, Sweden was chastised by the Black Death. One third of its population perished in no time. Fe- ver gave way to boils, fetid breath, vomiting of blood. In response Magnus swore on the relics of Saint Erik at Uppsala in Uppland “to keep the law towards young and old, towards born and unborn, towards friends and foes, towards present and absent.” But soon after, at a divinely inspired attempt to colonise and evangelise Finland, Magnus committed the sin of Saul in the book of Kings and accepted an oath and a ransom for the lives of a defeated enemy, only to see them return a year later and take back what he had gained.

But Birgitta saw none of this, for Our Lord called her to Rome in the Spring of 1349. Amongst the causes to which she was Heaven’s ambassador were the pope’s return from Avignon, his promulgation of her

Our Lady's message to St. Bridget Pilgrim for Pope Urban V who died three months after returning to Avignon. Throughout her life she was the re- cipient of many heavenly messages from Our Lord, Our Lady, and the On the feast of St. Dominic, 4th August, Miss Bridget Bevan received the habit of the Dominican Teaching Sisters of Brignoles, France. Her new name in religion is Sr. Philomena. Her brother, Rupert (below, left) was ordained a deacon on 29th June at Ecône, Her other brother, Bernard, has finished his first year at seminary. Also on the feast of St. Dominic, 4th August, Miss Molly Kane (above left) received the habit of the Dominican Teaching Sisters of Fanjeaux, France. Her new name in religion is Sr. Anne of Jesus. She joins Sr. Anthony-Jo- seph (Katrina Sudlow) in the novitiate. Both were on the Fatima Pilgrimage.

On 7th July, Thomas O'Hart was ordained a deacon at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, Virginia, USA. He too was a pilgrim at Fatima together with fellow Old Michaelians, Joannes Rehm and Emmerich Jeindl (below right), who are both seminarians at the Semininary of the Holy Family, Zaitskofen, Germany. Pray for them all. Despite the mostly downcast and rainy English summer weather, the number of pilgrims on the Rochester to Canterbury Pilgrimage (28th-30th July) keeps rising and the average age keeps falling. The pilgrimage was for the intentions of the rosary crusade and was expertly organised by the next generation. Rev. Fr. Lindstrom was the pilgrimage chaplain and Rev. Fr. Paul Franks was the director of music.

On the feast of the Assumption we had the singular privilege of welcoming His Lordship Bishop Fellay and most of the seminarians of St. Thomas Aqunas Seminary, Virginia U.S.A. to celebrate, serve and sing the Mass at the Church of the Holy Cross, Woking. The seminarians were passing through the U.K. on their way to the Fatima Pilgrimage. When Bishop Fellay heard of the project, he couldn't resist the idea of celebating Mass in what he claims to be "the most beautiful church in the SSPX!" The Mass was professionally filmed for posterity. Many thanks to the faithful of the chapel who made it a wonderful day. "Right, I'm looking for two volunteers to help with the washing-up!" cries Rev. Fr. Vianney Vandendaele on the boys' summer camp at Colleton Manor, Devon. The camp is an excursion to an innocent world where boys can be boys, where God is honoured and taught, where virtues are nurtured. It becomes more like C.S. Lewis' Narnia each year - not because it is different from previous years, but because the modern world changes so.

The Boys' Summer Camp, 4th-12th August at Colleton Manor. Rev. Fr. Sten Sandmark of Oskarshamn, Sweden (left) and Rev. Fr. Alan Rolph of Alfreton, Derbyshire are on the frontline of the spiritual apostolate. Unable to sprint from chapel to chapel and to live in a maelstrom of activity, they make a total offering of their time in prayer and sacrifice to God for themselves, for their loved ones, for the Society and for all its its faithful. We must thank the good Lord for such a blessing.

Cowboy, Fr. John Brucciani, ends up on home turf as the new Headmaster of St. Michael's School. His Lordship Bishop Bernard Fellay celebrated a Pontifical High Mass on Sunday 20th August.

Fatima Pilgrimage 2017

About 100 pilgrims of the GB District travelled to Fatima for the Society of St. Pius X Pilgrimage to mark the centenary of the apprirations of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Lucy, Francisco and Jacinta. Between 8000 and 10000 pilgrims assembled in "Car Park 14" for the Solemn High Mass celebrated by Rev. Fr. Franz Schmidberger on Saturday 20th August. A procession followed to "Os Valinhos" where the rosary was recited on the spot 100 years to the day that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared. It was truly special.

All night adoration on "Car Park 14" was followed by a Pontifical High Mass at 9:30am celebrated by the Superior General, His Lordship Bishop Fellay. After the Mass, Russia was consecrated the the Immaculate of Heart of Mary by the three bishops of the Society. The pilgrimage closed at "Os Valinhos" with a meditated rosary, litany and act of consecration of the Society of St. Pius X to the Immac- ualte Heart of Mary.

Following the closing ceremony, Rev. Fr. Karl Stehlin, Director of the Militia Immaculatae, lead a ceremony to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the Militia Immaculatae by St. Maximillian Kolbe and six companions. Bishop Fellay gave a short sermon and the members repeated their Act of Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Deo gratias. Rev. Fr. Schmidberger was the celebrant for the Solemn High Mass on Saturday 19th August. About 100 pilgrims came from the GB District, - it was a very happy pilgrimage.

Down to the Reformation it formed a large part of the "Primer or Lay-folk's Prayer-book", and was customarily recited by the devout laity, by whom the practice was continued for long afterwards among the persecuted Catholics. Today it is recited daily by Dominican, Carmelite, Augustinian, and by large numbers of the Franciscan Tertiaries, as well as by many pious laymen who desire to take part in the liturgical prayer of the Church.

47 THE LOGO

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it.
