“It would be easier for the world to exist without the sun than without the Holy Mass.”
Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
Padre Pio (1887 – 1968) offered the Traditional Latin Mass during his entire priesthood.
The first stigmatized Catholic priest, who bore the stigmata for 50 years. Padre Pio, who died in 1968, never offered the New Mass, created in 1969. He kept celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass til the end of his saintly life.

Padre Pio was born in the village of Pietrelcina, Italy, on May 25, 1887. His parents gave him the name of Francesco Forgione.
In 1902, when Francesco was 15 years old, he entered the novitiate of the Capuchin Friars. He had poor health, but a strong will, and with God’s help, he completed the required studies and was ordained a Franciscan priest in 1910.
On September 20, 1918, Padre Pio received the wounds of Our Lord, in his hands, feet and later on, his side. His long life was filled with hours and hours of suffering, penance, the hearing of confessions and prayer – especially the Rosary.
Padre Pio had a very deep union with God and a tremendous love for the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady. He also had great devotion to his guardian angel and to St. Michael.
For over 50 years, Padre Pio suffered greatly, but he was not one to complain. He still kept his great sense of humour and practised great charity towards all, forgetting about himself. He worked many miracles through his prayers, both during his life and after his death.
All things must come to an end, and Padre Pio died on September 23, 1968.

Padre Pio: "At times during the Mass I am consumed by the fire of Divine Love. My face seems to burn."
Padre Pio never celebrated the "Novus Ordo" Mass of Vatican II. He was very fortunate because he died before Paul VI promulgated the New Mass. He never celebrated the Novus Ordo Missae as he did not live up to its promulgation.
Owing to the era in which he lived, the Mass which Padre Pio offered was according to the Missal as it existed before Vatican II. When the Novus Ordo Rites began to appear in the mid 1960's (finalized in 1969 after his death) Padre Pio continued to celebrate the old. Already over 80 years of age and going blind the only practical way for Padre Pio to offer the Mass was to pray the one he had been celebrating for 50 years.
Padre Pio died on September 28,1968. The Novus Ordo Mass of Paul VI was promulgated on April 6, 1969, but it did not take effect until the First Sunday of Advent, 30 November.

Padre Pio: "How can the mother of Jesus, present at the foot of the Cross on Calvary, who offered her Son as Victim for the salvation of souls, be absent at the mystical Calvary of the altar?"
The Traditional Latin Mass is the true and genuine form of the Mass of the Roman Rite. It was codified by Pope Saint Pius V as the most perfect expression of the Catholic doctrine of the Holy Mass, to remain unchanged for all time. The Traditional Latin Mass is therefore our sacred liturgical inheritance, our living link with the past, and it is the sacred duty of Roman Catholics to guard it from any contamination of error and to pass it on pure and undefiled, in the form they have received it, to future generations.
The use of Latin in the Roman Rite of the Mass in all countries and across the centuries is a powerful symbol of the Church's unity. The Latin liturgy has nourished thousands of Saints and countless members of the Faithful. The use of Latin enables the continued use of the traditional music of the Church;
The Traditional Latin Mass has been praised and defended by many Popes throughout the ages. As international travel becomes increasingly possible, all Catholics can take an active part in the Church's liturgy, anywhere in the world.
The Traditional Latin Mass is not illegal. The Traditional Mass is completely legal and Catholics may attend it with a clear conscience. Pope Saint Pius V granted the right of Catholic priests to use his Missal in the Bull Quo Primum Tempore on July 14, 1570. This Bull has never been abolished (abrogated).
The Traditional Latin Mass is the Mass of the Ages. It is the Mass which has always been offered by the one, holy, Catholic Church. Thus, it is the true and proper Catholic Mass. This is the Mass which has been handed down by the tradition of Rome, the city consecrated by the blood of two princes, the holy apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul. It is the masterpiece of two thousand years of Catholic Tradition, life and worship.
Ephesians 6-12: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places."
Today, a very large majority of the people are attending the false worship of the Vatican II religion, the Novus Ordo Mass. The Novus Ordo Mass was created to entertain people. The New Mass was created by the enemies of God who are now in the highest places in the Church. The Catholic Church was hijacked by Modernists and Freemasons during Vatican II, with one objective – to destroy everything Catholic.
Cardinal John Henry Newmann: “I thank God that I live in a day when the enemy is outside the Church, and I know where he is, and what he is up to. But, I foresee a day when the enemy will be both outside and inside the Church … and, I pray for the poor faithful who will be caught in the crossfire.”

Padre Pio: “When attending Holy Mass, renew your faith and meditate on that Victim who is being immolated for you in order to appease Divine Justice. Do not leave the altar without shedding tears of pain and of love for Jesus who was crucified for your eternal well-being.”
The vast majority of people even our own friends , family and relatives, are persecuting us because of our loyalty to the teachings of the Catholic Church. They are against us and calling us crazy because we worship God in the true sacrifice, the Traditional Latin Mass. Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it. The Novus Ordo mass is always wrong even if everybody attends it.
St. Alcuin: “And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God.' because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness.”

The vast majority of people are calling us crazy because we neither go with them nor the changes of the Vatican II Sect.
St. Anthony: “A time is coming when people will go mad and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad because you are not like us!'.”

Padre Pio: "A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
Padre Pio: "Keep close to the Catholic Church at all times, for the Church alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, in the Blessed Sacrament."
