Submit Your Intentions, Feb. 1 Solemn Pontifical High Mass

Dear Friend,

In less than a week, Cardinal Burke will celebrate a very special (and rare) Pontifical High Mass, on February 1, at 11:00 AM Central Time. All are invited to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine to assist at this Solemn High Mass. https://www.guadalupeshrine.org/events For those who will be viewing on a computer or smartphone, a link will be sent the day before. 

What intentions will you be submitting, which will be included in the full ceremonial, Pontifical High Mass, offered by Cardinal Burke?

Be assured that His Eminence and thousands of Operation Storm Heaven Rosary Warriors from around the world will be praying for your intentions in their Holy Rosaries.

The February 1 Pontifical High Mass is the older, traditional, Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite that has been celebrated for centuries. 

Here are some interesting facts:

~ Only a Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal or Pope can celebrate a Pontifical High Mass.

~ Cardinal Burke will process in the sanctuary wearing a surplice and his religious clothing as a Cardinal, not yet fully vested for Holy Mass. A Cardinal's red skull cap will be worn and not a bishop's mitre.

~ Vesting will take place during the Holy Mass.

~ His Eminence’s hands will be ceremonially washed by four clerics. Gloves will cover his hands. 

~ His Eminence will be wearing liturgical pontifical sandals on his feet, as well as liturgical stockings, also known as buskins.

~ When Cardinal Burke will be sitting and preaching, he will be on a chair called a “faldstool” which will be placed in the middle of the sanctuary. 

~ A Master of Ceremonies, clerics, deacons, subdeacons and altar boys will be present. 

~ Everything will be sung.

If you have never assisted at a Pontifical High Mass, please mark your calendar to either attend in person or view online, on February 1 at 11:00 AM Central Time. For those who have requested to view the High Mass at a later time, you will be able to watch the recording.

Submit your intentions for His Eminence to remember in this High Mass:

Thank you for being part of Cardinal Burke's Rosary Crusade, Operation Storm Heaven. There are 15 Promises Our Lady gave to those who pray the Holy Rosary. Therefore, I encourage you to recite the Holy Rosary every day as Our Lady requested, if you do not do so already. Our website has extensive content for your review, as well as the prayers and mysteries: https://www.catholicaction.org/the_rosary

If you have questions on the Pontifical High Mass, such as the significance of the various vestments Cardinal Burke will wear, the faldstool, or any other comments, I will be happy to answer them.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
