11th Anniversary of Summorum Pontificum

IPadre Catholic Podcasting Posted on July 7, 2018 by Fr. Jay FinelliJuly 7, 2018  

Thank you Pope Benedict XVI for the gift of the Traditional Latin Mass. It has renewed, strengthened and transformed my priestly vocation. In celebration of the 11th Anniversary of Summorum Pontificum, I share with you a few pictures of my 25th Anniversary Celebration that was held on 11 June 2017. I was ordained on 13 June 1992. In those days the Tridintine Mass was the furthest thing on my mind. I though it was just too complicated, and the Latin was way beyond me. That was until I attended a Low Mass and received a special interior grace from Our Lord. Now, there is no turning back.

Second Opinion, always necessary

IPadre Catholic Podcasting Posted on June 19, 2018 by Fr. Jay FinelliJune 19, 2018  

Recently, my father was hospitalized with breathing problems related to his heart. One day after many tests, a very  cheerful young woman came in to talk with my us about his situation. I listened quietly for a while as this woman explained that there really isn’t anything more they can do for him. She went on to suggest that it is time for palliative care. “What is important for you?” “What are you looking for?” She said that he had been to the emergency department several times in the last few months, and there really isn’t anything they can do any more. She suggested that he could stay home, eat whatever he wanted, and they would give him a little morphine to comfort him. What she was trying to say without saying it: “You’re wasting resources, and a burden on the system and your family. Just stay home and die, and we can help you do that.”

That’s when I gave it to her. I said, “I’m a priest, and my parents are very faithful Catholics. We don’t need you to come into our home and kill my father. I and, many other priests know how this works (if it’s not guided by solid Catholic ethics).” They figure you are old, useless, wasting resources, and a burden to your family. When they get tired of you, you get a bigger dose of morphine than necessary and your heart stops. It happened to one of my aunts. I have seen people deprived of nutrition and hydration in local facilities. They aren’t going to do it to my family!

I upset her so much, she cam back a few minutes later with her supervisor. I gave her the same medicine. I know they were not happy, but I really don’t give a hoot. Another woman came in when I wasn’t there yet. So they got my point. The next day, a doctor came in and suggested a catherization, but they would have transfer my father to another hospital since they did not have the capability where he was.

After being transferred to the other hospital, they administered other medications to prepare him for the procedure. Today, they did the Catheterization. They found his heart to be weak but not damaged. There was no need for stints, and it is treatable with medication. The doctors changed his meds and said that his heart would begin to heal within a few weeks or months. This situation gives a few really good lessons. First, you need to stand up for yourselves and your loved ones. Second, get a second opinion. And last but not least, trust in the Lord. We are in God’s hands, and “nothing is impossible with God.”

26th Anniversary of Ordination

IPadre Catholic Podcasting Posted on June 13, 2018 by Fr. Jay FinelliJune 13, 2018 1

26 years ago, on the Feast of my baptismal patron, St. Anthony of Padua, I was ordained to the priesthood by the Most Rev. Louis E. Gelineau at the Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul, Providence, Rhode Island.

May classmate Fr. Soars and I have both survived. Pretty good odds, thank God. Pray for us and for all priests!

Invocation of the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

℣. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
℟. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

or in Latin

Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium: et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.

℣. Emitte Spiritum tuum, et creabuntur.
℟.Et renovabis faciem terrae.

Oremus.

Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere; et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum.
