Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us rejoice in the consecration of a true Catholic bishop for the Mexican people. Enjoy these photos of the blessed event, and may God richly bless you all.



The Consecration of His Excellency Bishop Luis Alberto Madrigal

The Examination "The ancient rule of the holy Fathers teaches and ordains that he who is chosen to the order of bishop, shall be with all charity examined diligently beforehand concerning his faith in the Holy Trinity, and shall be questioned concerning the different objects and rules which pertain to this government and are to be observed, according to the word of the Apostle: 'Impose hands hastily on no man.'".


Confiteor


Gloria in Excelsis Deo



Prostration of the Bishops at the Litany of Saints


Each Bishop imposes his hands and says: "Accipe Spiritum Sanctum"

"For the adornment of our minds fulfills what was expressed by the outward vesture of that ancient priesthood, and now brightness of souls rather than splendor of raiment commends the pontifical glory unto us."

The Anointing of the head and hands of the new Bishop



"Receive the staff of the pastoral office, so that in the correction of vices you may be lovingly severe, giving judgment without wrath, softening the minds of your hearers whilst fostering virtues, not neglecting strictness of discipline through love of tranquility."


"Receive the ring, the symbol of fidelity, in order that, adorned with unspotted faith, you may keep inviolably the Spouse of God, namely, His Holy Church."


"Receive the Gospel and go preach to the people committed to thee, for God is powerful to increase His grace in thee, He who liveth and reigneth, world without end."

Thank you, dear Brother, for posting these beautiful pictures!

Now no heretic (modernist and "traditionalist" alike) can deny that the true Church which is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic has another Bishop.

Neither can anyone doubt, thanks to the great gift of Almighty God given through Bishops Louis and Giles, that the Mexican sheep have again a pastor auténtico, a true shepherd.

May the goats (besides those of the Novus Ordo) that remain in their over 30 different, heretical "traditionalist" flocks and who perservere in their willing, satanic disobedience receive their proper sentence as Our Lord promised, related in Matthew 7:23.

Feliciter, ad multos annos Monseñor Madrigal!

Thank you for sharing the pictures of the Consecration of His Excellency Bishop Madrigal. I know the Consecration has been uppermost on the parishioners' minds at Corpus Christi.

The chapel is very beautiful. What is it named?

Dear Jane,
The name of the mission church is Iglesia de Sacra Nombre, the CHurch of the Holy Name.

It is true that all those in Mexico who style themselves Catholic must indeed submit to the authority of this true Bishop if they hope to save their souls.

May God bless and keep you.
