Domine salvum fac Regem et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te. Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Portraits of Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI of France
Lord, save the King, and hear us when we call upon thee. Glory to the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning and is now, and it shall be, for ever without end. Amen.
Heartfelt thanks to all who braved the inclement weather Saturday evening and joined us in commemorating the 231st Anniversary of the Murder of King Louis XVI of France at Joe's of Avenue U in Brooklyn, New York. For the fifth year in a row, various traditional Catholic and monarchist circles came together to pray, break bread, and remember the martyred King.
Special thanks to Dr. John C. Rao for delivering another stirring and thought-provoking talk about the tragic events of the French Revolution and its catastrophic repercussions today. Chairman of the Roman Forum, you can read Dr. Rao's extensive catalog at For the Whole of Christ or listen to his Church History lecture series via SoundCloud. Vive le Roi!
