From the Tridentine Documentary's Chapter 1, "Sacrificial Selflessness"

Either the rest of the material for the Tridentine documentary's script will be manifested soon or the release date will be extended until Christmas 2025, as work on the 40th book in the Traditional Catholic Mystical Wedding Theology for Every Soul Series, "The Miraculous Catch of Fish on the Feast of St. Joseph," suddenly interrupted the completion of the script. Such wonders!

 

"THIS IS CATHOLIC COURAGE: THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN" SCRIPT, AN EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1, "SACRIFICIAL SELFLESSNESS"

“Jesus sacrificed Himself alone on Calvary for our salvation, but on the altar He wishes to associate us with His immolation; for, if the Head is sacrificed, the members must be sacrificed also.

Let a poor creature offer in expiation to God his sacrifice and even his life. What value could this have? None, because we are nothing.

But if this offering is united to Jesus’ offering, then it becomes, with Him, by Him, and in Him, an acceptable sacrifice to God the Father.

Then, when we return to our duties, the remembrance of the offering we have made in the morning will help us to be generous in accepting our daily trials, great or small.

The thought that at every moment of the day and night, Jesus is immolating Himself on our altars will urge us to continually unite our sacrifice with His, and will stimulate us to live as real victims in union with the Divine Victim.

What strength and generosity the soul will draw from this living, constant participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!”
