Dear Friend,

Late last night stateside and early morning in Rome, Cardinal Burke continued with his return to offering the live (online) Traditional Latin Mass from his private chapel. The Holy Mass, on the Traditional Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr, was offered for all of the intentions that were submitted online, as well as for the tens of thousands of Operation Storm Heaven Rosary Warriors around the world. 

In his homily, His Eminence spoke about St. Ignatius of Antioch, one of the great Martyrs of the early church, who had contacts with the Apostles and had a devotion to Our Lord, which animated every fiber of his being. “His love was finally consumed by his martyrdom. He understood well the passages from the scriptures”, said Cardinal Burke. As his homily unfolded, His Eminence elaborated further on these two points that seemed to resonate in a particular way with the many who tuned into the Holy Mass across Catholic Action platforms.

Cardinal Burke reminded us in his homily that “the love of Christ, is the love that is poured forth from Our Lord’s glorious pierced Heart, the love that is poured forth into our own hearts, because He has first loved us, by dying for us on the cross. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from this love of Our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“Every cross that we bear in our lives is not only fruitful for our own salvation but also brings tremendous graces.”

His Eminence again thanked all those who have prayed for him and asked that we continue to pray to Our Lord and the Blessed Mother for his health.

If you have not joined Operation Storm Heaven, here is the link to become a Rosary Warrior as well as one to forward to your friends and family helping us to march toward our goal of having one million faithful Catholics praying the Rosary in unison with Cardinal Burke on the first of every month.

Our next live Holy Mass for Operation Storm Heaven, which will be offered by Cardinal Burke on March 1, is the Feast Day of the Holy Face of Jesus, also known as Shrove Tuesday. The Nine-Day Novena to the Holy Face will be emailed later in the month.

Yours in Jesus and Mary,
