In the midst of suffering, like the apostles did when they were scourged, they counted all blessings to have suffered something for the name of Christ.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 So the battle is very clearly pitched. And so all we have to do is choose the Sacred Heart,
00:00:04.200 devote ourselves to the Sacred Heart, pray to the Sacred Heart, make reparation.
00:00:14.780 Hey, my friends, it's my privilege to introduce you to someone. You've probably heard about him
00:00:19.020 already. He's a Catholic father of five who's lost two thirds of his farming business after
00:00:25.080 criticizing Pride Month on Instagram. Now, this is the story sort of went viral. His name is Ross
00:00:33.600 McKnight. But it wasn't so much his Instagram post that made him lose all the customers that was so
00:00:43.660 impressive. It was actually his reaction to losing so much of his business. Let me quote that for you.
00:00:52.860 And this is really incredible. If you're wondering, he lost between six and $10,000 per month,
00:00:59.020 which for a small farming business is a very huge portion of his actual business. But listen to this.
00:01:06.800 This was the reaction after losing all of that business because of coming out on Instagram
00:01:11.860 in favor of the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus rather than so-called Pride Month.
00:01:17.680 He said, and I quote,
00:01:20.500 We count it a privilege to have lost much.
00:01:24.840 It is an honor to participate through the suffering of our family in the triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
00:01:31.480 and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
00:01:34.060 He added,
00:01:34.880 We have already seen divine providence working through all of this.
00:01:38.700 And we have already seen that business we lost by rejecting pride beginning to be restored in no small part by fellow Catholics who've reached out to support us and to share in the great victory that it is to suffer for and with Christ the King.
00:01:55.940 Ha! That's incredible.
00:01:59.760 For that reason alone, I wanted to speak with him and bring him to you because that's just amazing.
00:02:05.080 In the midst of suffering, like the apostles did when they were scourged, they counted all blessing to have suffered something for the name of Christ.
00:02:14.420 So, here was his post.
00:02:17.000 This was the Instagram post that cost him all that business and started the whole thing.
00:02:20.680 He said, he talked about the attempted coup of the month of June and he suggested some antidotes to a false pride.
00:02:29.180 Antidote number one,
00:02:30.580 As it is our tradition,
00:02:31.780 Enthrone the Sacred Heart in your home this month and place your family under the protection of the furnace of Christ's most merciful love.
00:02:39.080 Number two,
00:02:40.480 Wear the Sacred Heart as a badge wherever you go.
00:02:43.740 If you know, if you know your history, you'll know that it was meant to be the livery that's the, you know, clothing, if you will, of France and clothing for soldiers.
00:02:55.500 And that was the Vendayans.
00:02:58.780 And that was a movement in a certain area of France sponsored or inspired by St. Louis-Marie, Crignan de Manfort.
00:03:06.140 Anyway, that was my edition.
00:03:08.020 Number three,
00:03:09.440 Pray the Rosary for the Conversion of Souls.
00:03:11.420 Pray it in French, he says.
00:03:12.600 And number four, check out my most recent journal entry on our website.
00:03:18.580 And he ends off saying,
00:03:21.820 For God and the King.
00:03:23.160 For God, the King.
00:03:25.560 And just,
00:03:27.160 it's an incredible thing when people stand for the faith,
00:03:31.740 suffer for the faith,
00:03:32.800 but you do that with a large family
00:03:35.120 and it gets very concerning.
00:03:37.980 It's my great honor to introduce you to Ross McKnight on this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:03:43.200 Hello, dear LifeSite viewers.
00:03:47.360 We are living in a moment of truth.
00:03:49.920 Each day, we encounter the evils of the woke agenda,
00:03:52.840 especially during this month of June,
00:03:54.420 as the woke corporations,
00:03:56.280 they continue to infiltrate our homes via the media.
00:04:00.140 Now, this month,
00:04:01.020 the mainstream media works overtime
00:04:02.360 to spread false teaching
00:04:04.500 and make a mockery of traditional families
00:04:06.940 and the Christian values we hold most dear.
00:04:10.340 But look around.
00:04:11.440 Look at the pushback against Bud Light and Target.
00:04:14.280 People are finally starting to wake up
00:04:16.740 and they're actually looking.
00:04:19.140 They're looking for the clarity and answers.
00:04:21.640 So this is our moment
00:04:23.060 to give the world what they need so desperately.
00:04:27.240 The truth.
00:04:28.640 We have a golden opportunity right now.
00:04:31.860 There's a surge of interest
00:04:33.080 and we need to jump on it
00:04:34.860 to give the public the truth
00:04:36.300 on life, faith, family, and freedom
00:04:37.680 that they so desperately need.
00:04:39.680 But you know what?
00:04:40.180 We can't do that without you.
00:04:41.780 We are in the midst of a quarterly summer fundraising campaign
00:04:45.480 and we are in need of your support,
00:04:47.440 both prayerful and financial.
00:04:48.940 We must raise a minimum of $500,000 before June 30th.
00:04:54.040 So please donate at the link in the description below
00:04:56.760 and be on the lookout
00:04:58.160 as LifeSite will be on the road
00:05:00.640 during this month of June,
00:05:02.320 heading to Los Angeles, to Chicago, to Washington, D.C.,
00:05:05.540 all to shed the light of truth
00:05:07.760 during this critical time.
00:05:09.860 Thank you so much for your prayers
00:05:11.100 and for your support and your dedication.
00:05:14.140 Let's take advantage of this moment
00:05:15.940 and by the grace of God,
00:05:17.480 may our efforts serve Him and His truth
00:05:20.080 and may that bear much fruit.
00:05:22.360 For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston.
00:05:24.420 May God bless you.
00:05:28.440 Ross McKnight, welcome to the program.
00:05:30.420 Thank you.
00:05:31.260 Let's begin as we always do at the sign of the cross.
00:05:33.120 In the name of the Father,
00:05:34.420 and of the Son,
00:05:35.740 and of the Holy Ghost.
00:05:37.200 Amen.
00:05:38.100 Amen.
00:05:38.900 Ross, it is a great honor for me to speak with you.
00:05:41.820 What you did was truly incredible
00:05:43.320 and an honor to our Lord.
00:05:46.100 And we're here actually to learn more from you.
00:05:50.020 Great.
00:05:50.440 Thank you so much for having me.
00:05:51.420 It's an honor to be here with you.
00:05:52.560 For sure.
00:05:54.080 So, let me start off with this.
00:05:58.420 Did you have any hesitation
00:06:00.140 before saying what you did about Pride Month?
00:06:03.960 I think we all do.
00:06:07.220 You know, we're wondering what the consequences
00:06:08.540 of what we say will be.
00:06:10.120 I've said, you know,
00:06:11.860 things promoting the Sacred Heart in the past
00:06:13.540 and, of course, promoting
00:06:14.800 the major feast days of the church
00:06:17.580 on our Instagram feed.
00:06:19.160 And my customers, generally speaking,
00:06:21.340 you know, they don't have to go far
00:06:23.160 to find out what I think about things
00:06:25.480 or what I believe.
00:06:26.660 So, I think we knew at some point
00:06:31.380 there would be some issue between us
00:06:34.100 and our client base.
00:06:35.820 It just so happened that this was that time.
00:06:38.820 So.
00:06:39.600 Yeah.
00:06:40.220 Yeah.
00:06:40.660 Now, your response was so stunningly beautiful.
00:06:47.340 In the face of, you know, a hit to your family
00:06:51.360 before, you know, any kind of comeback on that,
00:06:56.040 you know, it was really threatening your family.
00:06:58.260 Your response was basically the Apostles' response
00:07:02.340 after they left after being scourged for Christ,
00:07:06.160 that it's a privilege for your family
00:07:09.060 to suffer for Christ.
00:07:11.140 First of all, stunning.
00:07:13.760 That was so moving.
00:07:16.180 I loved it.
00:07:17.820 But it's hard, too, because unlike the Apostles,
00:07:22.680 it's not only you.
00:07:24.460 It's you and your wife and your kids.
00:07:27.820 How did that play out in your mind?
00:07:30.360 Oh, my goodness.
00:07:31.840 So many thoughts, I think, went through my mind
00:07:35.620 from the moment where I was standing there
00:07:37.820 actually processing products, slaughtering chickens.
00:07:42.440 You know, I'm just a farmer.
00:07:43.780 I was slaughtering chickens.
00:07:44.840 That's what we did.
00:07:46.560 So slaughtering chickens for many of which
00:07:49.400 were going to one of these accounts.
00:07:50.700 We're supposed to go to one of these accounts.
00:07:51.900 We had an arrangement throughout the summer
00:07:53.880 where we were going to drop off
00:07:55.460 a significant number of birds weekly.
00:07:57.840 So I'm standing there actually doing the thing
00:08:00.780 and realizing that bees don't have a place to go now.
00:08:03.500 You know, a lot of them don't have a place to go now.
00:08:05.040 So there was definitely that feeling of kind of just,
00:08:07.980 you know, dismay and and fear, certainly.
00:08:14.040 And certainly disappointment, I guess,
00:08:17.980 because I one of these people,
00:08:19.780 the first one who actually dropped their orders with us,
00:08:23.320 I have a longstanding relationship with.
00:08:25.100 And then later that day,
00:08:28.020 we were running late on preparing to receive
00:08:31.320 some young birds to raise that, again,
00:08:35.160 many of which were supposed to go to one of these accounts.
00:08:38.160 And so we're shoveling bedding out of this,
00:08:41.500 this building, you know, and it's getting dark.
00:08:44.640 And we're, you know, it ends up that
00:08:46.800 we have to turn on a light in there
00:08:48.300 because it's getting dark.
00:08:48.940 We're just shoveling dirty bedding out of a building,
00:08:51.140 you know, for birds that, you know,
00:08:53.120 we don't exactly know what to do with.
00:08:55.580 And so it was all just rather mad.
00:08:58.340 And I was about to lose my mind for sure.
00:09:01.320 I think, you know, I kept reminding myself
00:09:03.740 that God's going to provide,
00:09:05.680 but you don't obviously feel
00:09:07.600 that that's going to happen in the moment.
00:09:11.360 But the tremendous, I mean,
00:09:13.440 tremendous amount of graces is,
00:09:15.680 I have to thank God for the tremendous amount of graces
00:09:17.760 that I've been given in that moment and after it.
00:09:21.520 And then, you know, like you mentioned,
00:09:23.980 you referred to the situation rapidly developed
00:09:27.540 in the opposite direction over the succeeding days.
00:09:30.800 And so, yeah, divine providence
00:09:33.420 has been astounding to witness, certainly.
00:09:37.380 So tell us about that.
00:09:38.440 So in one day you get basically chopped off.
00:09:41.900 They were your two biggest clients, were they not?
00:09:44.320 I'd say there were two significant clients.
00:09:47.760 I guess my, I still, as far as I know,
00:09:49.920 I actually haven't spoken with them.
00:09:51.500 As far as I know,
00:09:52.240 I still have one of my significant clients,
00:09:55.620 although they don't typically buy from us
00:09:58.100 during the summer.
00:09:58.840 They buy our main item,
00:10:01.720 which is the fat into ducks and the foie gras.
00:10:03.740 They buy that during the season,
00:10:05.040 which runs from October to about the end of April,
00:10:07.780 sometimes into May.
00:10:10.280 So I haven't spoken with them yet,
00:10:11.820 but I don't think it's going to be an issue.
00:10:14.420 We'll see.
00:10:15.060 But yeah, so we did lose those two significant accounts for us,
00:10:20.840 which we only have three restaurant accounts.
00:10:23.280 That's how tiny an operation we are.
00:10:24.800 And then we do some retail sales.
00:10:26.540 So it definitely was, I mean, it was a scary thing.
00:10:31.420 But like I said, yeah, things changed quickly.
00:10:34.960 And we're very blessed.
00:10:35.500 So tell us, first of all,
00:10:38.400 what is it exactly that you do?
00:10:41.220 Describe your business for us,
00:10:42.440 because I think a lot of people are wondering,
00:10:44.160 what?
00:10:44.860 I feel like it's Fargois,
00:10:46.280 and he actually is a farmer.
00:10:47.940 And how does that work?
00:10:49.220 Okay, yeah.
00:10:49.880 I understand that this is a very strange topic,
00:10:53.000 because so the whole farming world in general,
00:10:57.880 trying to make a living producing,
00:11:00.740 you know, something that comes off of a farm
00:11:03.940 on an extremely small scale is a difficult thing.
00:11:07.040 And so we ended up,
00:11:08.680 I think also by Providence,
00:11:10.780 choosing to produce foie gras,
00:11:12.380 which is a specialty.
00:11:13.900 It's a luxury food item.
00:11:15.900 You know, it is expensive to buy.
00:11:19.600 It's also expensive to produce.
00:11:21.580 But it gives us a niche where we can
00:11:23.600 approximate something of a living,
00:11:25.960 you know.
00:11:26.440 And we were helped by friends of ours,
00:11:31.120 Laurent and my lease,
00:11:32.360 who introduced us to foie gras in the first place.
00:11:34.500 And then they actually helped us start the farm.
00:11:36.700 And it's been an interesting journey.
00:11:39.220 But foie gras is the fattened liver of a duck or goose.
00:11:42.200 In the U.S., we're not very familiar with it.
00:11:44.620 And the people who have familiarized us with it at all
00:11:47.800 on any sort of scale,
00:11:49.420 well, they belong to PETA.
00:11:51.240 And PETA hates foie gras.
00:11:52.960 So just keep that in mind.
00:11:54.300 And, you know, if you Google foie gras,
00:11:55.640 probably the first thing is going to be something
00:11:57.940 from an animal rights group.
00:11:59.420 If you want to know about foie gras production
00:12:01.140 and the way that we do it,
00:12:02.160 I would go to our Instagram page
00:12:03.580 and look at the highlight called Gavage,
00:12:05.840 which is G-A-V-A-G-E, Gavage.
00:12:08.960 And you'll see how it's done
00:12:10.440 and how waterfowl physiology and anatomy
00:12:13.820 work in that regard.
00:12:16.340 So it's a beautiful product.
00:12:18.000 It's a beautiful tradition.
00:12:18.920 It's been around for at least 5,000 years.
00:12:22.200 The tradition of producing foie gras
00:12:23.940 from ancient Egypt, through Rome.
00:12:27.060 You know, the, I guess you'd say
00:12:28.820 the Jews actually brought it to Western Europe
00:12:30.780 because they needed a source of kosher fat for cooking.
00:12:35.220 And I don't really know if the chicken
00:12:37.180 or the egg came first as far as the foie gras,
00:12:39.000 but of course that was an added benefit
00:12:40.600 if they were just fattening geese or ducks.
00:12:42.560 And then you find this beautiful golden liver
00:12:44.660 that tastes like,
00:12:46.680 the best way to describe it is meat butter.
00:12:49.160 So if you like meat and you like butter,
00:12:50.600 I mean, I think you're going to like foie gras.
00:12:51.800 So that's what we do is we produce foie gras
00:12:54.920 in a very traditional way.
00:12:56.300 We raise our ducks on pasture.
00:12:57.480 We fatten them for four weeks
00:12:58.560 in the barns at the end there.
00:13:00.440 And then we harvest them.
00:13:02.300 And, you know, I think it's a gift from God.
00:13:04.780 So that's what we do.
00:13:08.500 If you could describe your family for us.
00:13:11.840 Sure.
00:13:12.320 Well, it's myself, my wife, Dorothy,
00:13:15.260 our five children and my parents.
00:13:18.140 And we all live here on the farm.
00:13:19.920 My parents live in kind of the farmhouse.
00:13:22.700 We'd call it it.
00:13:23.480 We live in a barn dominium.
00:13:28.060 So, you know, we kind of live where we work, right?
00:13:31.540 And we're on some acreage here.
00:13:33.800 We have our ducks out in the field.
00:13:35.000 We've got sheep, a flock of sheep,
00:13:36.840 mainly for our family.
00:13:37.920 We raise, we do a little bit of pork
00:13:39.700 and, you know, some household laying flock.
00:13:43.740 And it really takes up most of our time.
00:13:46.520 You know, it's true what they say
00:13:47.540 about the farm life.
00:13:49.480 It's just, it takes up most of your time.
00:13:51.280 You get up, you got things to do.
00:13:53.000 You stop for lunch, go back and do some things,
00:13:55.900 stop for dinner and then do some more.
00:13:58.480 So it's an ongoing task for sure.
00:14:01.660 I actually, I recently was in the field
00:14:04.020 and I, you know, just kind of put on a different shirt
00:14:06.820 and came and sat down to talk with you.
00:14:09.700 But we're all here.
00:14:11.180 Yeah, we homeschool, you know.
00:14:12.460 And we're here in Southeast Louisiana.
00:14:15.660 We love it.
00:14:16.300 We love our culture here and trying to preserve it.
00:14:19.740 So beautiful.
00:14:20.340 What are the ages of your children
00:14:21.920 and how many boys, how many girls?
00:14:23.840 Yeah, I mean, the general ages,
00:14:25.580 they're all under 10, you know.
00:14:27.660 We've got two boys and, sorry, wow.
00:14:32.700 You'll have to pardon me.
00:14:33.720 We have three boys and two girls.
00:14:35.740 Okay.
00:14:36.960 You know, who knows?
00:14:38.080 There might be an extra one.
00:14:38.700 Are they helping on the farm already?
00:14:39.900 Uh, yes, yes, they do.
00:14:43.360 My two oldest definitely do.
00:14:45.380 My son's job is taking care of the household laying flock.
00:14:49.320 So that's kind of an ongoing thing, you know,
00:14:51.780 where if it's not done so well one day,
00:14:54.380 you know, we have to have some conversations,
00:14:55.680 but he's definitely getting there,
00:14:57.140 becoming more responsible, which is beautiful to see.
00:14:59.940 So.
00:15:00.140 Wow.
00:15:01.260 And how old is he now?
00:15:03.280 He's, uh, how old is he?
00:15:05.440 Man, seven.
00:15:06.520 So getting ready for, uh, his birthday is at such a time
00:15:09.900 that he's kind of getting ready to prepare for the sacrament.
00:15:12.220 So of, uh, beautiful first, first Holy communion.
00:15:15.780 So in a farming family, how does it work for mass?
00:15:18.340 How do you schedule that?
00:15:20.440 Oh man, it's crazy.
00:15:22.140 We get up.
00:15:22.940 Um, oh, Sundays are so mad.
00:15:25.540 They're so insane.
00:15:26.280 Cause we get up earlier and run out there
00:15:29.480 and we're just rushing through everything, you know?
00:15:31.880 Uh, cause we don't want to get up at a,
00:15:34.100 at a terrible hour in the morning.
00:15:36.620 Um, running around and getting the cow milked,
00:15:38.860 you know, feeding all the ducks,
00:15:40.480 taking care of the pigs,
00:15:41.760 making sure everybody's got water,
00:15:43.500 um, taking care of the young birds
00:15:45.200 in the brooder houses.
00:15:46.060 So it's, it's a mad rush.
00:15:48.540 It's a dash.
00:15:49.320 And then we, uh, we try to make it to 9am mass
00:15:51.920 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
00:15:53.060 which is where we attend the, uh, traditional Latin mass.
00:15:56.440 Beautiful.
00:15:57.720 Oh, okay.
00:15:59.560 So life itself is kind of a, a struggle,
00:16:03.380 a happy struggle, but a struggle nonetheless.
00:16:05.500 Yeah, it's definitely a struggle.
00:16:07.820 So this, um,
00:16:12.380 sort of, uh, upset in the middle of it all,
00:16:15.280 if you don't mind me asking it,
00:16:17.920 and if you're not able to say,
00:16:19.780 um, let me know,
00:16:21.100 but the reaction of your wife,
00:16:23.240 this is a hard thing for the family
00:16:25.260 when the family gets hit with something.
00:16:27.440 That's that, and that can create a lot of tension.
00:16:30.320 What was the, uh, reaction of your wife on this?
00:16:33.820 My wife is a beautiful and virtuous woman.
00:16:36.820 And, uh, she,
00:16:38.980 she, she had kind of a physical reaction that day.
00:16:42.180 She was down with a migraine,
00:16:43.560 like couldn't really get up and do anything really bad migraine.
00:16:46.920 Um, and, you know,
00:16:48.100 up and down trying to take care of the children,
00:16:49.980 knowing that I had a ton of work to do.
00:16:51.600 We were behind on a lot of things that day.
00:16:54.180 So it was all just,
00:16:55.040 it was a complete and utter chaotic disaster here.
00:16:58.100 Um, but she's, I don't know.
00:17:02.640 Um, I, I think I may have married one of the best women alive
00:17:07.180 because she's patient and forbearant, um, forbearing, I guess.
00:17:11.740 English is such a strange language.
00:17:13.520 Um, and, and has tremendous faith in divine providence.
00:17:19.580 And I just, is, she's always, it's never really,
00:17:25.040 there's not much criticism, you know, something goes wrong.
00:17:28.540 It's usually just support.
00:17:31.060 So yeah, she's remarkable.
00:17:34.340 She's a remarkable woman.
00:17:35.680 Probably going to be a saint.
00:17:37.780 That is awesome.
00:17:39.320 So a couple of days in, um, so this happened,
00:17:44.000 major threat to you.
00:17:45.180 What happened, uh, in terms of the gives and go?
00:17:49.500 Oh, right.
00:17:49.800 So a friend of mine set that up and, uh, yeah,
00:17:54.260 that just kind of went nuts, uh,
00:17:56.140 because the way it happened is, is he had gotten,
00:18:00.160 okay, this is, this is the first kind of divine providence story.
00:18:04.320 So we had told our friends in our community,
00:18:06.800 and we have a private membership association,
00:18:08.600 uh, that this had happened.
00:18:11.260 We'd lost these accounts and they started coming to the farm
00:18:14.580 and buying inventory to help us out basically,
00:18:17.180 because they knew we didn't have a place for it to go.
00:18:19.120 And so individuals were coming,
00:18:20.320 buying like 10 chickens here, five chickens there.
00:18:23.100 Um, and then at the farmer's market that same week,
00:18:26.420 you know, people buying ducks.
00:18:27.820 And of course, every,
00:18:29.280 most people love our foie gras pate, understandably,
00:18:32.300 and come and buy that.
00:18:34.400 Uh, so we, we had a lot of support from our immediate community.
00:18:38.180 Uh, but I had thought that,
00:18:40.480 that this friend of mine, Harrison had come over to the farm
00:18:43.000 because he had heard that we were going through this.
00:18:46.340 And it turns out that he hadn't,
00:18:48.160 because I just started talking to him as if he knew.
00:18:50.020 And he was like, wait, what are you talking about?
00:18:51.920 You know, I'm, I'm just here to buy some stuff and whatever.
00:18:54.700 Um, I was in the, he, he was just around town.
00:18:57.200 He was in, he was in town.
00:18:58.400 He wanted to buy some things.
00:18:59.740 So he stopped by the farm and ended up hearing this.
00:19:02.020 He got so angry, you know, with righteous anger
00:19:04.260 and went on Twitter and, and posted something.
00:19:07.260 And that's where the federalists picked it up.
00:19:08.960 And then, you know, Fox and friends and it spiraled from there.
00:19:12.540 Um, and then he, at some point set up the gifts and go.
00:19:16.600 And then that exploded.
00:19:17.840 And so that's why I say, you know, we've been well taken care of
00:19:20.960 and can really have nothing but gratitude at this point.
00:19:24.400 It, it just, it went from a situation where we only expected to have to work very hard
00:19:30.620 to figure out how to keep our business afloat
00:19:33.480 to, um, sort of being overwhelmed with generosity, um, and the love of God, you know?
00:19:40.560 So you wrote so eloquently, you spoke so eloquently.
00:19:45.040 Do you have like a theological background or where that come from?
00:19:47.800 Or how did you, how did you formulate what you said?
00:19:52.660 It's very kind of you to say, because I feel very scatterbrained most of the time.
00:19:56.500 Um, but I would say, like I said, there, there were just so many tremendous graces, um, through
00:20:04.340 all of this.
00:20:04.920 And of course we can only attribute that to the sacred heart because he takes care of his
00:20:10.000 own.
00:20:10.960 And, um, you know, like, you know, I, I just, I want that to remain front and center here.
00:20:18.740 If we can continue all of us to make reparation and pray to the sacred heart, make our novena
00:20:23.160 enthrone our home, maybe start that nine months devotion.
00:20:27.100 That's, that's obviously what he's asking for.
00:20:29.040 That's what he's asking for here.
00:20:30.060 Just like us talking right here, you know, about this, that's, he wants to be promoted
00:20:35.340 and he's going to be promoted throughout the world.
00:20:37.240 Describe, describe the, the devotion if you would.
00:20:40.180 Yeah.
00:20:40.460 So, um, it's older than this, but you know, I think most people are familiar with the story
00:20:44.500 of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, um, and her visions of the sacred heart and how it, it appeared
00:20:51.180 to her and she described it in her letters.
00:20:53.900 Um, this is a simplified version, right?
00:20:55.980 That the, uh, the Vendayon, the counter-revolutionaries, the Catholic and Royalist counter-revolutionaries
00:21:02.140 during the French revolution, they wore this patch.
00:21:03.880 It says, Dieu le roi, God, the King, uh, the simplified version, but it, it has, of course,
00:21:09.800 the, uh, crown of thorns around it, right?
00:21:12.300 The, there's a piercing in the heart, and then there's also the flame around the cross
00:21:17.720 here and the symbol of God's, you know, burning, consuming love for all mankind.
00:21:23.640 And of course, also that imagery of the heart as it expands with love for mankind being pierced
00:21:29.300 by the crown of thorns, right?
00:21:30.640 Wounded by, um, our sins, but just unable to contain itself with love for us.
00:21:36.840 So, um, there was also, there's also the story of how heaven had asked, she had been asked
00:21:43.540 to send a letter to the King of France and inform him that his job was to consecrate himself to the
00:21:49.320 Sacred Heart and to emblazon the Sacred Heart on the royal arms of France.
00:21:55.100 So really, the Bourbon arms are supposed to have the Sacred Heart smack dab in the middle, right?
00:22:00.700 And, uh, that did not happen.
00:22:02.800 Louis XIV, the Sun King, you know, he didn't do it for whatever reason.
00:22:06.220 And then, of course, the French Revolution happened very soon after that, relatively speaking,
00:22:13.100 uh, the beheading of Louis XVI, who, who we know he did, uh, consecrate himself to the Sacred
00:22:19.920 Heart right before his execution.
00:22:21.440 But I believe we know from Fatima that that was considered too late.
00:22:26.780 Yeah, it was a hundred years.
00:22:28.460 Right.
00:22:28.780 It was a hundred years to the day that, uh, they didn't do it, that the royal family was
00:22:34.020 removed from the palace later to be killed.
00:22:37.940 Um, amazing.
00:22:39.520 A little bit scary on that score because, um, our Lord in 1929 compares that, uh, actually
00:22:45.260 1931, he, he appears again to sister, uh, Lucia in the convent and says, Hey, um, they're
00:22:52.160 following in the footsteps of the King of France and they will suffer a similar fate.
00:22:56.380 Right.
00:22:58.040 Yeah.
00:22:58.620 So that's something that still hasn't, and, you know, I'm, I'm, I don't, I'm not an
00:23:03.200 expert on private revelation or anything, but, um, it's, it seems to me, it's something
00:23:08.800 that's still not really been fulfilled.
00:23:10.400 That request hasn't really been fulfilled.
00:23:12.360 Uh, and yet the heirs of the bourbon line are still alive.
00:23:17.380 And so it seems to me at any point, you know, if they wanted to, they're the only ones with
00:23:21.380 the authority to change the Royal arms.
00:23:23.700 And so, um, they could do that, you know, and, and I imagine that would be a great thing,
00:23:29.800 you know, and that God would honor that.
00:23:31.760 So.
00:23:33.800 Hello friends to celebrate the momentous overturning of Roe v.
00:23:37.220 Wade.
00:23:37.500 We at life site have minted just under 10,000 of these brand new limited edition pro-life
00:23:42.460 silver rounds.
00:23:43.220 Now each round is stamped with the image of the Supreme court of the United States, featuring
00:23:48.320 the date that the high court delivered this historic victory.
00:23:51.180 And on the front of our pure silver rounds, life sites, logo surrounded by a brilliant
00:23:54.680 sunburst and draped with olive branches.
00:23:56.420 They, of course, commemorate our 25 year anniversary of life site news.
00:24:00.280 We began in 1997 in September.
00:24:03.080 So September of 2022 was 25 years.
00:24:05.560 These one ounce silver rounds are available from our partners at St.JosephsPartners.com,
00:24:10.960 where you can fulfill all of your silver and gold needs in this perilous time.
00:24:15.120 May God bless you.
00:24:17.800 You had listed four antidotes to false pride, um, and they all revolve heavily around placing
00:24:23.880 our trust in our Lord and our Lady.
00:24:25.600 Um, so why did you think that, uh, you should include these antidotes rather than just pointing
00:24:31.640 out the dangers of pride month?
00:24:33.860 And what were the antidotes?
00:24:35.760 Ah, yes.
00:24:36.420 So you bring up a beautiful point is that the battle is very clearly pitched, right?
00:24:42.080 We have on the one hand, we have God is love, right?
00:24:45.240 And here's the image of his love, the Sacred Heart, and the month of June being dedicated
00:24:50.420 to the Sacred Heart by Pope Blessed Pius IX in 1856.
00:24:55.140 And then on the other hand, the love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love,
00:24:58.560 is love, infinite regress, illogical, irrational, you know, statement, and of course, illogical,
00:25:04.120 irrational movement that is based on pure desire, pure will, and therefore only, can only
00:25:09.820 be supported by rage and cancellation and force.
00:25:14.040 Um, so, so the battle is very clearly pitched.
00:25:16.480 And so all we have to do is choose the Sacred Heart, devote ourselves to the Sacred Heart,
00:25:20.540 pray to the Sacred Heart, uh, make reparation.
00:25:23.060 That's, it's, it's very simple and it's beautiful to have something so simple.
00:25:26.800 God is simple.
00:25:27.540 I believe, uh, you know, that's, that's the, what we get from Aquinas in general, despite
00:25:32.100 the giant books that he wrote.
00:25:33.780 But, uh, uh, so it's, it's a beautiful thing.
00:25:38.220 The battle's pitched and we know what to do and, and we just have to do it.
00:25:41.420 And so it, it's certainly an antidote, you know, and it's, it's very clearly so.
00:25:44.720 It's, here's the anti-love and here is love itself.
00:25:50.180 Indeed.
00:25:52.180 Um, so, uh, question for you, why pray the Rosary in French?
00:25:57.780 Oh, well, you know, I'm, I'm just plugging for Louisiana culture there.
00:26:01.600 I'm, I'm, I'm very, um, I'm very protective of, of my culture in my state.
00:26:07.480 And it's because I've witnessed, you know, I've been, I've been on the, uh, I guess,
00:26:11.640 non-receiving end of that failure to transmit.
00:26:15.600 Um, and that, that phrase is really good.
00:26:18.260 And, and talking about this, I believe I get that phrase from Brandon Sheard, who's a, uh,
00:26:23.000 also kind of in the agrarian movement.
00:26:24.760 He runs a business called Farmstead's Meatsmith, also a traditional Catholic.
00:26:28.020 So he, um, but he says, you know, he talks about the failure to transmit and it really only
00:26:33.380 takes a generation.
00:26:34.280 In this case, we're looking at two generations where my great-grandfather was the last one
00:26:38.340 in our family to speak French fluently.
00:26:40.760 And so for our, my generation, it's recovering that has to be very intentional.
00:26:46.780 So.
00:26:47.160 Est-ce que tu parles français?
00:26:48.980 Oui, je parle un peu.
00:26:50.280 Oui, et vous?
00:26:51.100 Ah, c'est très bien.
00:26:52.300 On peut faire le reste de cette interview en français.
00:26:55.100 No, I'm just kidding.
00:26:56.120 I don't know if I would go so well because I'm still learning, but, um, it's anyway,
00:27:03.420 it's, yeah, it's, it's this beautiful tradition of, um, it comes from two elements, really more
00:27:09.320 than two, but the two main elements are the Acadians, right?
00:27:12.360 Who came down from Nova Scotia.
00:27:14.400 It was religious persecution.
00:27:15.760 It was political persecution.
00:27:17.000 But I think what is not properly emphasized is the religious persecution.
00:27:22.540 When you read about the Acadians in modern textbooks, of course, they're not going to
00:27:26.380 swear loyalty to a Protestant King, like that's not going to happen.
00:27:29.100 So they wander down to Louisiana and end up here.
00:27:32.600 And the first thing that happens is the French governor who's governing on behalf of the Spanish
00:27:37.140 at that time sends them a priest and they build a church.
00:27:41.880 And that is St. Martin of Tours in St. Martinville, Louisiana, historic, historic church.
00:27:48.240 And, uh, so it was that you can't really separate the culture of Louisiana from its Catholicism.
00:27:55.120 The minute you do that, you start to forget what you're about.
00:27:58.020 And it's like, wait, what is it that we're preserving?
00:28:00.060 So there's a lot of secular efforts around to kind of preserve French, you know, preserve,
00:28:04.080 you know, the food, the cuisine, but what it's lacking is the glue, which is the faith,
00:28:09.260 because everything stems from that.
00:28:10.740 The love of life in general stems from the faith.
00:28:14.120 So, uh, but no, so, so, so the French, uh, the French rosary is something that was once
00:28:20.720 heard throughout the land in Louisiana.
00:28:22.460 So that's why I'm encouraging that, of course, is, uh, our culture is so tied to, uh, to our
00:28:28.680 French heritage, which cannot be extricated from the eldest daughter of the church.
00:28:33.380 That's, that's, that's where we come from.
00:28:35.460 Exactly.
00:28:36.140 Exactly.
00:28:36.680 I, I pray that you guys keep up with that and, and thank you for doing that because the
00:28:42.900 land of Quebec here in Canada, where I'm from, um, has a very sad metamorphosis because they,
00:28:50.880 unlike France, didn't have the French revolution, but they had their own in 1960.
00:28:55.680 That is what we call the silent revolution, which was an antichrist revolution like none other.
00:28:59.720 And funny enough, they almost completely abandoned the faith in, in the worst of ways.
00:29:06.520 In fact, they, they went from being the most Catholic place pretty well on earth to one
00:29:11.160 of the most anti-Catholic places around.
00:29:13.520 Their swear words are mostly Catholic phrases.
00:29:19.360 Tabernacle, they, tabernacle is a swear word.
00:29:22.740 La sang Vierge, the, the holy version, virgin.
00:29:25.620 They, they, uh, call a swear word, um, and others.
00:29:29.160 So it's really unbelievable.
00:29:31.940 But the one thing they did is they went crazy on the language.
00:29:35.760 So they made laws so that you couldn't have English signage on stores.
00:29:39.940 You have to have French only and so on and so forth.
00:29:43.360 It's because I think anyway, they had to cling on to something of their culture so as not to
00:29:49.080 lose it completely because they abandoned the faith.
00:29:50.900 They have nothing else.
00:29:52.120 So they went insane about the language.
00:29:56.100 Yeah.
00:29:56.800 Unbelievable.
00:29:58.120 No, it makes sense.
00:29:58.820 It's, it's a similar thing here.
00:30:00.400 Uh, there's even a new, now we have, again, we have a Louisiana public broadcasting.
00:30:04.740 We have, we now have a French language, um, a show, but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just,
00:30:12.400 it's sort of like you can palpably sense that vacuum, you know, of culture because it's just,
00:30:18.680 okay, why the language in isolation?
00:30:21.120 And it's just strange.
00:30:23.000 It's where, what is it connected to, right?
00:30:25.420 Well, the Acadians and the French Creoles who came over and brought their Catholicism.
00:30:29.400 So it's, uh, it's bizarre.
00:30:31.100 So, so I see, you know, in some way, my, what I see somewhat my, my role to be in some small
00:30:38.700 way is, um, yeah, providing the context for everybody.
00:30:42.900 If you, if you lose your faith, you can forget about the rest because none of it matters.
00:30:47.820 I mean, not to be, um, so dark, but you might as well, you know, jump off a cliff.
00:30:55.040 You don't have the faith.
00:30:56.620 Life is not particularly good or interesting or valuable if you don't understand the meaning
00:31:01.620 of it.
00:31:03.300 So anyway.
00:31:05.380 So what did Catholicism look like previously, uh, in Louisiana?
00:31:12.380 And, um, what is your family doing to, to bring it back?
00:31:15.940 Sure.
00:31:17.060 Um, so I guess to answer the last question first, this last Sunday, uh, I was supposed
00:31:22.800 to be there long story.
00:31:24.860 Um, I was coordinating a sacred heart procession for our, um, our Latin mass community.
00:31:29.900 It's a, it's a public association of the faithful.
00:31:32.960 Nice little loophole.
00:31:34.300 So, um, we, we did that.
00:31:37.340 Um, I have to thank all the people who stepped up.
00:31:39.580 We got stranded with car issues that are all figured out now.
00:31:43.600 Um, but that was beautiful.
00:31:46.260 And that's definitely something that's very important.
00:31:47.800 You know, we flew the, uh, the flag with the symbol, um, of the Vendée and we flew
00:31:52.400 the, uh, Carillon Sacre Coeur, which I know you're very familiar with, uh, and Joan of Arc's
00:31:57.800 standard as well.
00:31:58.820 Um, and carried an image of the sacred heart.
00:32:01.340 So many thanks to all those men out there who, who filled in for me and did it so beautifully.
00:32:07.080 But, uh, that's something that was very important to me because it's such an, it's emblematic,
00:32:11.980 um, of, of the two, right?
00:32:13.760 United.
00:32:14.100 It's very closely connected to Catholic France.
00:32:17.160 And also of course is a universal symbol of, of Catholic devotion.
00:32:22.600 So that, that's something that's, that was very important to me that we accomplished.
00:32:26.300 And we, we finally did this year.
00:32:27.740 And so hopefully every year it grows and becomes a bigger event.
00:32:30.460 We'll probably, I'll probably start inviting people from outside the chapel.
00:32:33.720 But, um, and what did it look like in the past?
00:32:37.200 You know, it's interesting.
00:32:37.960 It's, it's almost something that I'm still recovering.
00:32:40.760 I have my, my great, great, great grandfather who, who came over from Osh, France, the Southwest
00:32:48.360 of France, which is funny enough, foie gras country.
00:32:52.060 Um, he wrote a, he wrote a brochure called Rome or Malta, Rome or Malta.
00:32:58.860 And, uh, it discusses the overthrow of the thrones and the altars, right?
00:33:04.660 That phrase that we hear a lot from like Michael, Matt, Michael Davies, you know, all these
00:33:08.280 gentlemen, uh, probably Archbishop Lefebvre as well.
00:33:12.300 And, uh, just talk, it's almost like he's writing a letter why he's leaving France and coming
00:33:17.840 to Louisiana and needless to say, he was a man of great devotion, of great faith.
00:33:23.280 And in his obituary, which we still have, we know that he died venerating the crucifix.
00:33:30.200 Um, and so I guess, like I've mentioned before, it's just something that wasn't really like
00:33:34.060 viewed as an element of your life that you could compartmentalize and separate out from,
00:33:42.320 um, you know, going and eating.
00:33:45.220 And so we have this tradition, many have probably heard of Réveillon in New Orleans and it's
00:33:50.860 the, you know, the Christmas day, Christmas Eve, Christmas day feast, right?
00:33:54.360 Everybody's starving because they fasted all Christmas Eve and it's time to eat.
00:33:58.100 And so it's like this middle of the night feast, right?
00:34:01.680 Um, so that's something that's very prevalent.
00:34:05.600 I mean, that was something that, that everybody would have known about.
00:34:07.620 And now it's almost like we're learning about it from its use as a marketing tool, uh, as
00:34:13.640 that's, that's now commodified the culture.
00:34:16.400 And so it's now, it's like this event in New Orleans that goes on for like a week and we
00:34:20.980 call them the Réveillon day, the restaurant industry calls them the Réveillon dinners.
00:34:25.080 And it just makes no sense because it's just, we're just eating all the time.
00:34:28.560 Oh, this is our Réveillon menu.
00:34:29.840 It's like, no, Réveillon is one thing.
00:34:31.600 And it happens at one time.
00:34:33.120 And it's part of the, the fasting and preparation for, for Christmas.
00:34:37.980 So that was something very, very common here.
00:34:40.900 Um, and from our Italian, uh, influence here in, in Louisiana as well, the St.
00:34:46.020 Joseph altars, you know, are very prevalent at that time of year.
00:34:49.820 So those are just a couple elements.
00:34:52.360 Yeah.
00:34:52.760 But when there's a due detest that happens every year, um, there's a procession down the
00:34:57.360 bayou commemorating the arrival of the Acadians.
00:34:59.520 So it's on boats.
00:35:00.520 It's really neat.
00:35:01.880 Beautiful.
00:35:02.240 Okay.
00:35:02.920 So I have to ask because we've tried it.
00:35:05.100 You've got all these little kids.
00:35:06.660 Have you ever actually done the proper Réveillon?
00:35:10.000 No.
00:35:11.220 Yeah.
00:35:13.540 Totally impossible.
00:35:15.100 No, one day.
00:35:16.260 One day.
00:35:16.780 We did this thing.
00:35:17.860 Okay.
00:35:18.500 So I have to tell a personal story only because it's so, um, appropriate right now.
00:35:23.780 So my wife and I had all little kids like you.
00:35:28.560 Um, and, uh, we would always bring them to the midnight mass.
00:35:33.340 And yes, after we do a sort of Réveillon, the priest there would often have a little Réveillon
00:35:38.360 back at his place.
00:35:39.100 But, and, you know, we'd bring everybody.
00:35:41.280 But nonetheless, there we are with the little kids.
00:35:43.560 Now we're walking into the midnight mass.
00:35:45.820 It's always a midnight mass on, uh, on Christmas.
00:35:48.480 And, um, my wife over here is somewhat saying, oh my gosh, I can't believe those people are
00:35:53.900 bringing their little kids.
00:35:54.720 They've got a baby.
00:35:55.880 What are they doing?
00:35:57.000 And my wife was like, oh, we'll show them.
00:36:00.200 So we'd go in and, um, believe it or not, we, um, you know, they had the baby and, uh,
00:36:08.460 I put down my, my, um, trench coat so the baby could sleep, um, on the coat.
00:36:14.760 And unfortunately the baby was sick in the coat.
00:36:17.300 And so it was a challenge.
00:36:21.380 Yeah.
00:36:21.580 Um, but nonetheless, we, we did that the whole way through.
00:36:24.280 We did midnight masses with the little kids.
00:36:26.480 Um, but, um, it's tough.
00:36:29.740 Yeah, no doubt.
00:36:30.820 No, they go straight this last year.
00:36:32.980 Yeah.
00:36:33.180 Straight to bed.
00:36:34.860 You know?
00:36:35.960 Um, in fact, I think I may be remembering the Easter, uh, vigil because I don't think we
00:36:42.520 did midnight mass last year.
00:36:43.740 No, we did.
00:36:44.360 We did this year.
00:36:45.240 We did do a midnight mass, but yeah, straight to bed, straight to bed.
00:36:47.940 Oh my goodness.
00:36:48.600 No, no.
00:36:49.460 When they're older though, definitely.
00:36:50.720 I can't wait till they're older because, uh, because of the, you know, just because we
00:36:54.660 raise our own pigs and we've got the fattened ducks.
00:36:57.440 It's just going to be, we're going to do something glorious.
00:37:00.460 I can't wait.
00:37:01.500 It certainly will be amazing.
00:37:04.680 So, okay.
00:37:06.760 Question for you about Catholic businesses, um, even families standing.
00:37:12.560 Against what really is an attack on the sacred heart, because this month for whatever they
00:37:18.320 call it for essentially, it's that this month is about the sacred heart.
00:37:24.500 Catholic families are confronted all over the place.
00:37:27.980 Businesses are.
00:37:30.360 What advice do you have for them?
00:37:33.720 Oh, goodness.
00:37:35.820 That's such a difficult question.
00:37:37.380 You know, it's the question's always what's worldly prudence and what's, you know, uh, the
00:37:42.400 prudence that comes from faith.
00:37:44.080 And, you know, it, it's not like, I suppose we're not, you know, yelling at people on the
00:37:52.280 street corners, what it is that we believe.
00:37:54.420 It's just that there are times and seasons when, um, you know, it, it doesn't make sense
00:38:00.500 not to say something because what else is there, right?
00:38:05.100 You know, art, the tradition of producing foie gras, even it wouldn't have flourished.
00:38:10.020 I don't think, why is it considered a French delicacy?
00:38:12.880 I don't think it, it could have flourished unless there was a long-term stability under
00:38:17.320 a Catholic monarch and the, you know, a healthy and strong and, um, I guess, well-to-do peasantry
00:38:25.980 really.
00:38:27.180 Um, and it's, so that's a Catholic thing, right?
00:38:30.480 What is, what is the point of all these things that we do for culture, for society, for each
00:38:35.360 other, you know, just living day to day, if we can't even, um, have, uphold those things
00:38:42.800 when the, the rubber meets the road.
00:38:46.100 And so I don't, I don't really want to produce foie gras in a society that's, doesn't have
00:38:53.400 a hope of, of a renewal of faith, um, or doesn't have a hope of restoring the culture.
00:38:59.360 And so, you know, forget it, I guess, if, if I can't, if I can't be, um, profoundly and
00:39:07.180 overtly Catholic, uh, and produce foie gras, which I see also as things that are completely
00:39:12.660 tied together and can't be separated.
00:39:14.440 Um, then I don't, I don't see a point to it that, like I've mentioned before, I just
00:39:19.960 don't, it doesn't particularly interest me anymore.
00:39:22.720 I'm not interested in a completely secularized society and, and dealing with people who are
00:39:28.700 completely godless all the time.
00:39:31.020 You know, I still have to deal with them.
00:39:32.180 We have to evangelize, of course, but it's just that those who are going to appreciate
00:39:36.840 most, um, this type of work and how it's tied to theology and how it's tied to penance and
00:39:43.120 how it's tied to, um, Genesis itself and the command to, uh, you know, tend the earth and
00:39:49.600 keep it.
00:39:50.000 Um, that's what makes it beautiful and sharing that with people who appreciate that.
00:39:54.400 So, yeah, I think it's, it's almost like it, it chooses the moment chooses you.
00:39:58.760 Right.
00:39:59.620 Um, and so I think most of us will know when it's time to, to say something in a, in a very,
00:40:08.400 yeah, overt and external way, um, to where we're sending a message to everyone around us.
00:40:16.560 Um, I don't know that I could give any advice.
00:40:19.940 I don't know that I'm qualified to give advice in general, but I'll just say that that's my
00:40:25.520 experience.
00:40:26.460 Um, and that's the way I see it.
00:40:28.460 Yeah.
00:40:29.500 Any second thoughts?
00:40:31.920 So if you could go redo all of this, would you do the same thing?
00:40:36.880 Well, it's an unfair question because the results were, the, the results were not what
00:40:42.680 we expected, right?
00:40:43.780 It turned from a very dire situation, like I mentioned to an extremely positive one.
00:40:48.200 So yes, of course I would do it again, but, uh, but yeah, I, I have to say I'm the greatest
00:40:57.140 honor is to serve the King, right?
00:41:00.540 And you and I are men and we both know what it's like to be a little boy who wants to be
00:41:04.260 a knight.
00:41:06.060 And you're probably also familiar with Charles Cologne and his statement on when we become
00:41:12.080 monarchists.
00:41:13.000 It's really not that we become them.
00:41:14.440 It's when do we stop being them so that we had to be become monarchists a second time
00:41:18.080 when we get older.
00:41:19.560 And it's because we're sort of hardwired to want to serve the King and, um, and fight
00:41:24.140 for him, you know?
00:41:24.980 So it's, it's a tremendous honor and I don't deserve it.
00:41:29.520 And I feel extremely blessed in, in so many ways to just, uh, have been able to have that
00:41:36.300 one moment of usefulness if it even was useful or, or I guess just to just God allowing me to
00:41:43.040 be part of it.
00:41:43.860 Right.
00:41:44.440 Because he doesn't need me and doesn't need any of us.
00:41:46.680 So just having been allowed to be part of, of the promotion of the sacred heart and having
00:41:51.440 been allowed to fight in one moment for, um, the King of heaven and earth.
00:41:56.400 Yes.
00:41:56.800 A tremendous honor.
00:41:59.920 Beautiful.
00:42:01.360 Ross McKnight.
00:42:02.220 What a, what a joy to speak with you.
00:42:03.880 Thank you for standing for the faith.
00:42:05.240 Thank you for standing for Christ in this month of the sacred heart.
00:42:08.140 Well, thank you for all you've done.
00:42:10.240 Um, I mean, we're all, we're all kind of fighting as brothers in arms here.
00:42:13.740 Right.
00:42:13.980 And just trying to be faithful.
00:42:15.600 So thank you so much for all that you do.
00:42:17.900 God bless you.
00:42:18.420 Amen.
00:42:18.780 Ave Maria.
00:42:20.040 Ave Maria.
00:42:21.120 God bless you.
00:42:21.860 And you know what?
00:42:23.300 Let's, let's finish off.
00:42:24.800 We don't normally do this, but since you do, let's, let's pray the Hail Mary in French,
00:42:28.620 to, to, to honor your tradition.
00:42:31.800 Excellent.
00:42:32.240 In the name of the Père and the Fils and the Saint-Esprit.
00:42:34.900 Amen.
00:42:36.140 Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâce.
00:42:38.260 Le Seigneur est avec vous.
00:42:40.500 Vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes.
00:42:42.800 Et Jésus, le fruit de vos entrées, est béni.
00:42:45.960 Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous, pauvres pécheurs, maintenant et à l'heure
00:42:51.960 et à l'heure, ainsi soit-il.
00:42:54.960 Et au nom du Père et du Fils et du Saint-Esprit.
00:42:58.200 Amen.
00:42:59.540 God bless you, Ross.
00:43:00.460 Thank you.
00:43:01.640 God bless you.
00:43:03.080 And God bless all of you.
