+JMJ+


Hello, welcome to the page of Friends of Missionary Traditional Catholic SSPX - Kuching Sarawak. The Mass is held in monthly basis and those who wish to experience the unchanging, authentic Catholic Mass you are most welcome. You also may drop your inquiries via FB Messenger or email at [email protected]. Here's a little history about Catholic Mass. The Catholic Mass was codified in the

year 1570 by Pope Pius V and it established the guidelines for the celebration of the Tridentine Mass, which became the standard form of the Catholic Mass for centuries. For many years, with Quo Primum the Mass stayed the same way. But over time, especially after Vatican II (a big meeting of Catholic leaders in the 1960s), the Church made some changes to the Mass, allowing it to be celebrated in different languages and with some updated practices. These changes have caused detrimental effect on the way we worship God. Hence the results: the unity is lack of belonging - respect of Tradition is no longer respected as it has modernized by liberals - Faith is watered down due to influence of secularism and - compromise of belief and many more. As a matter of fact, the core beliefs or practices of Catholicism or faith tradition have become less strong, pure, or rigorous over time. We lost ourselves at the end. Therefore, one of the key points is the UNIVERSAL RULE which defines Quo Primum established a uniform way to celebrate the Roman Catholic Mass, which became known as the Tridentine Mass or the Traditional Latin Mass. It was meant to standardize how the Mass was conducted across the Catholic Church, especially after the reforms of the Council of Trent. The universal language for the Mass is Latin which is known as the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHUCH. In addition, Quo Primum (Pope Pius V, 1570) granting to all priests of the Latin Rite the right to celebrate the Roman Mass in perpetuity. Nothing can be changed at all. Here is the abstract of Quo Primum by St. Pope Pius V: -
"We likewise order and declare that Prelates, Administrators, Canons, chaplains and other secular priests, by whatsoever name they are called, or regular priests of any order, may not be obliged to celebrate Mass in any other way than that which we have ordered; and that they cannot be forced or compelled by anybody to change this missal, and that this present letter cannot at any time be revoked or modified, but that it shall always remain firm and valid in its force." -The Perpetual Indult of St. Pope Pius V 14 July 1570. SSPX
As a result, the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) was founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre as a response to changes in the Catholic Church following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). It is known as a priestly society that focuses on celebrating the Tridentine Mass and oppose the newer form of Mass (Novus Ordo) introduced after Vatican II. Its main objective is the FORMATION OF HOLY PRIESTS using the methods that the Church always used: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, “The Mass of All Time”; the preaching of the Catholic Faith and Catholic morals; the endowment of grace by the administration of the sacraments of the Catholic Church; Catholic doctrine drawn from the best sources; community life in charity and prayer. Other objectives why SSPX was founded: -
I) Preserve the Traditional Latin Mass. II) Preserve Tradition. III) Defend Traditional Catholic doctrine. IV) Train Traditional priests. V) Resist modern influences. With deepest gratitude and appreciation to the founder of Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre for his unwavering dedication to the preservation of the Traditional Latin Mass and the timeless teachings of the Catholic Church. His steadfast leadership and dedication to upholding the sacred traditions and his courages stand for the faith that have touched the lives of countless people all around the world. Through the work of SSPX, many Catholics have the opportunities to experience the beauty and reverence of the Mass as it has been celebrated for centuries. Dear faithful in Christ, if you are looking for reverence, holiness and sacred tradition, come and attend to experience the beauty of Latin Mass. Pax Vobiscum.
------------

The Society of St.Pius X is not under jurisdiction of local Archdiocese of Kuching rather is an independent priestly society with canonical approval of Holy See in November 1, 1970.

The Catholic priest keeps his gaze focused on the altar and the Missal Book to symbolize his role as an intercessor offering sacrifice to God on behalf of the people.

When greeting the congregation, a downcast gaze expresses deep humility and mystical reverence, acknowledging that he is a humble servant leading the worship of God.

The specific reasons for this posture and focus include:

🙏 Representing the People to God:

During the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the priest acts in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) and as a mediator. His gaze and attention are directed toward the altar—the site of the holy sacrifice—because he is offering prayers and the sacrifice of Christ to the Father, not addressing the congregation.

😶 Custody of the Eyes: In Catholic spirituality, custodia oculorum (custody of the eyes) is a long-standing spiritual discipline.

Keeping the eyes lowered or closed helps the priest maintain deep interior recollection, avoiding earthly distractions and keeping his mind entirely focused on the divine mysteries taking place.

🙏Humility and Awe: When the priest turns to the faithful to say "Dominus Vobiscum" (The Lord be with you), his lowered eyes show reverence and humility. It reflects the biblical and traditional awe of standing in the presence of the divine. He is not turning to look at or "perform" for the people, but rather to extend a spiritual greeting from God before turning his focus back toward the Lord.

🙏Focus on the Altar and Missal: The altar represents Christ himself. The Missal Book contains the exact, unalterable words and prayers prescribed by the Church. By focusing closely on the text, the priest ensures that the liturgy is offered exactly as the Church intends, maintaining precision in sacred worship.

⚜️Together, these practices ensure that both the priest and the congregation remain centered on God and the heavenly liturgy, keeping the focus on the divine rather than on human interaction.

Outstanding Christian mystic

Under the appearance of a simple nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich (Coesfeld, 1774 – Dullmen, 1824) hides one of the great catholic mistycs of the last centuries. Since her earliest childhood, she was a soul of exceptional kindness, devotion and purity. Her life and her legacy will enlighten for centuries Christianity and all mankind. French writer Léon Bloy said: “If the book “Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich”, written by Father Schmoeger, was read by twenty people in each diocese, God would change the face of the world”. The potential of the legacy of this extraordinary Augustinian nun could not be described any better.

Sanctifying the day of the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker by devotional gathering to honour the silent guardian of the Holy Family — the model of humility, labour, and faithful fatherhood.

✨ Why does this gathering matter to us??
↪️↪️St. Joseph is not only a saint of the past — he is a powerful protector for our times.

In a world that forgets the dignity of work, the sanctity of family, and the duty of men to lead with virtue, St. Joseph stands as a quiet but firm pillar:
• A just man who obeyed God without hesitation (Matthew 1:19–24)
• A faithful worker who sanctified daily labour
• A protector of the Church, entrusted with Christ Himself
To gather in his honour is to:
• Seek his intercession for our families and livelihoods
• Restore the spirit of reverence and discipline in our daily duties
• Strengthen our identity as Catholics who live not for the world but for God.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING A GOOD CONFESSION BEFORE HOLY MASS.

⚠️Why is it crucial?

🌸Restoring Sanctifying Grace: If a person is aware of having committed a mortal sin, they must receive sacramental absolution before receiving Holy Communion. A mortal sin severs the life of God in the soul, and confession repairs this rupture.

🌹Worthy Reception of the Eucharist: Receiving the Eucharist while in a state of mortal sin is a sacrilege. Confession ensures that the reception of Jesus in the Eucharist is an expression of union, not a contradiction of it.

🌿Overcoming Sin and Growing in Holiness: Confession is a sacrament of healing, providing grace to combat habits of vice and helping the individual to become more like Christ.

☘️Providing Peace and Security: The audible assurance of God's forgiveness through the priest's words—"I absolve you from your sins"—lifts the burden of guilt and provides peace.

LOOKING BACK INTO THE HISTORY OF SPREAD OF CATHOLICISM IN SARAWAK (MALAYSIA):

🌍SERIAN - Serian, Sarawak - Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas https://share.google/CYj8SjmEquCstJDXz

Prior to Vatican II (pre-1962), Catholicism in Serian (Sarawak), was characterized by a rapidly growing, missionary-led church focused on indigenous conversion, with the Latin Tridentine Mass and strong school-based evangelization. Growth was driven by visiting priests and dedicated catechists, with the population rising significantly in the 1950s.

Missionary Activity:
The church relied heavily on European missionaries and local catechists who visited rural, indigenous communities. This era saw intensive efforts to expand the faith outside urban centers.

Education Focus:
Catholic schools played a crucial role in the development of the church in Sarawak, acting as a primary channel for conversion.
Liturgical Practices: The Mass was celebrated in Latin, with the priest facing the altar (ad orientem), following the pre-Vatican II Roman Rite.
Rapid Growth: By 1959, the Catholic population in Sarawak had grown to 29,000, supported by mission stations, priests, and sisters.

Pastoral Structure:
The church was highly structured and hierarchical, with a strong emphasis on obedience to the local clergy and the Bishop, and a structured teaching of faith.
