Celebrating a Votive High Mass for Blessed Emperor Karl of Austria in Brooklyn, New York

Blessed Karl of Austria, ora pro nobis
Oremus. Deus, qui nos beáti Caroli, confessóris tui, ánnua solemnitáte lætíficas: concéde propítius; ut, cujus natalíta cólimus, étiam actiónes imitémur. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum.*
A few pics from Tuesday's Votive High Mass (Missa Cantata) for the hundredth anniversary of the death of Blessed Emperor Karl of Austria (1887-1922) and lecture by Suzanne Pearson, Delegate of the Emperor Karl League of Prayer in the United States, at Holy Name of Jesus Church in Brooklyn, New York.
* Let us pray. O God, who dost gladden us by the annual solemnity of blessed Karl, thy confessor, mercifully grant that we who celebrate his heavenly birthday, may also imitate his example. Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
