HAPPY FEAST OF POPE ST. PIUS X!
A feast day of the Order, as he had served as Grand Master while being pope.

Pope Saint Pius X, at your core, you were a pastor and a shepherd of souls who loved the poor and desired all people to come to know Christ. Pray for me, that I may be used by God for great things, by doing every small thing with great love. Pray for our Holy Father, the Roman Curia, all clergy and religious, and the entire Church. Pray also for the poor and abandoned, those without faith, and those newly converted. May your prayers win many souls for God, just as your actions did while you served Him on earth. Pope Saint Pius X, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.

Happy Feast Day of St. Helena!
Among the official feasts of our Order of the Holy Sepulchre, we also include that of Saint Helena, mother of Constantine, a woman of faith whose witness led the Roman emperor to Christ, bringing an end to the era of persecution against Christians. We also owe to Helena and her love for the Holy Land the initial construction of the churches built on the principal sites of Jesus’ life in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, particularly the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, whose name we bear with honor.



Happy day to our friends at Gran Magistero - Ordine Equestre del Santo Sepolcro di Gerusalemme!

Pope Benedict XVI wrote (2005) that, “precisely because Mary is with God and in God, she is very close to each one of us. While she lived on this earth she could only be close to a few people. Being in God, who is actually within all of us, Mary shares in this closeness of God.” She “knows our hearts, can hear our prayers, can help us with her motherly kindness. She always listens to us… We can always entrust the whole of our lives to this Mother.”
