A New Face to Traditionalism?

[oneGODoneCHURCH]

No problem. I appreciate your acceptance of my clarifications. I hope the truth of the matter can overshadow your first impressions and become your lasting one.

Our apostolate needs the help of others - prayers, word-of-mouth promotion, and yes, donations and sales. So, if you believe in the work we are doing, please pray for us, offer Mass intentions on our behalf, and spread the word. Our Lord and Our Lady are truly doing good things through this work.

I, am my family, have committed ourselves to a life of religious (and economic) poverty for the sake of the Church and the spreading of Tradition. This isn’t a hobby. Though it is a labour of (divine) love - and I love what I do - it is a life of sacrifice and a (week-to-week, month-to-month) dependency on God’s provision through the generosity of others.

However, though I would like to see our apostolate continue to grow for the salvation of souls, I am content with what Our Lord provides and the pace at which He works in and through us. For I know He blesses what He wills. So I will only do this as long as it is His will.

I wish there were a thousand “MonkRock”'s, but there is truly nothing like what we are doing in the United States (maybe beyond). There are a lot of apostolates out there. Yet, the ones that are active in the life of the mainstream of the Church, are not promoting Catholic Tradition (not to say they are all bad or all that they do is bad; please do not hear me wrong). They are either well-intentioned (though many are not) but are promoting the counterfeit Liberal / Modernist version of the Catholic Faith or doing it just as a job to make money.

In the US (at least), the ones that are faithful to Tradition are not present in any of the national conferences I attend. They tend to stay within their own corner of the Church and “preach” more to the “converted” (those who are already in Tradition). Not that I am condemning them; I am just stating the fact of the matter.

We are trying to be faithful to Tradition but active in the life of the Church. Not that there is agenda beyond being faithful to God, the Church, Tradition, and the salvation of souls, we do want to show that Tradition is not the for the days of old, and just because the baby-boomers abandoned the Faith, Tradition is for all ages for all time. Catholics of Tradition must truly live the fullness of the Faith - yes, Divine Truth but not at the expense of Divine Charity. As St. James said, “Even the devils believe…”

As St. Paul said, how can they hear the truth of the Gospel is sent to preach? Please consider supporting our apostolate.

St. Francis - herald of the great King to those outside the city walls - pray for us.

I have just seen your site for the first time Today. I think it is a ( from what I see) a great ministry.

 

[MONKROCK]

Thank you for your appreciation, and thank for you seeing it as a ministry.

When I first started MonkRock and launched the web site, I took up a lot of space describing MonkRock - its identity and its purpose. For awhile, it seemed counter-productive and just “too much”. It was better to let the products and my conversations (in person) and correspondence (online) do the talking.

However, as of last Fall, I considered it necessary to be as clear (as is needed) to what MonkRock is and the purpose it serves. MonkRock is a ministry, and though we sell t-shirts (among other things), we are not a “t-shirt company”, though our site and booth (on-the-road) looks “cool”, we don’t care to be, and though our tax status is for-profit, it is run more like a non-profit. Note: Transitus will be non-profit.

Please pray for us. Without prayer, it will fail. For even with prayer, if it be not the will of God, it will fail. Please consider making a donation as we are in need of assistance. There is a link on the home page. Please spread the word, as it is the best form of advertising, and we are happy to earn the money we need to do God’s work through our sales.

God bless you.

PS Let us always pray for the Ministerial Priesthood, most especially our Holy Father.

I’ve seen your website and it looks great. You see it as a ministry to evangelize and who can fault that? I’m way older than you, by the way. Don’t have to be young to appreciate what you do.

Our faith should not be brought down to the level of MAN.

Isn’t this what Jesus did by using parables to teach the men of his time on earth? So have we as catholics become so engrossed in tradition that we are above Jesus himself? Think out it, one must be able to spread the word of God on a level that the listner can understand then join the community of faith.
