The following is a message issued January 18, 2024, the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter in the Traditional Roman Rite, by Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary of Saint Mary in Astana, Kazakhstan:

Praised be Jesus Christ!

Dear faithful Catholics, especially those who suffer as they witness our Holy Mother Church live through an unprecedented crisis. Dear Catholic fathers and mothers of families! Dear Catholic young people! Dear innocent Catholic children! And especially dear religious contemplative Sisters, the spiritual gems of the Church! Dear Catholic seminarians! Dear Catholic priests, who are “the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus”!

The confusion within the Church has reached such a point that we must pray to the Lord with the words of Esther: “We have no helper but you” (Esther 4:31/14:3 Vulg.). Therefore, let us take refuge in the Immaculate Heart of Mary through the daily Prayer to implore Holy Popes. Let us cry out with the psalmist: “Arise, O Lord, why do You sleep? Arise, O Lord, help us and bring us salvation!” (Ps. 43:23).
