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.
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, forever without end. Amen.
On Wednesday evening, members and friends of Sanfedisti gathered in Brooklyn to mark the 233rd anniversary of the martyrdom of King Louis XVI of France. Braving the winter cold, we shared a simple Sicilian meal, honored the memory of the fallen King, and reflected on the enduring lessons of the French Revolution. Conversation turned, as it always must, to the current challenges facing the Church, the nation, and the moral order—connecting past tragedies with present responsibilities in a spirit of remembrance, fellowship, and fidelity. I would be remiss if I didn't thank the guys for including my birthday in the festivities. It was a fun night, and your kindness and generosity were greatly appreciated, mille grazie. Vive le roi!
