Requiescant In Pace

Joannes Paulus p.p. II

Deus qui inter summos Sacerdotes famulum tuum Ioannem Paulum ineffabili tua dispositione connumerari voluisti: praesta, quaesumus; ut, qui Unigeniti Filii tui vices in terris gerebat, sanctorum tuorum Pontificum consortio perpetuo aggregetur. Per eundem Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivat et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus: per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

God, who in thy transcendent providence wast pleased to cause they servant John Paul to be numbered among the supreme pontiffs, we pray thee to admit him, who on earth was vicar of thy only-begotten Son, into the company of holy pontiffs now and for evermore: through the same Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: world without end. Amen.

Marcellus Lefebvre
(Archiepiscopus)

This photograph was taken by Bishop Fulham at the Church of Ss Peter and Paul, Edge Lane, Liverpool UK in 1990
Here Archbishop Lefebvre is seen preaching at the Mass following the solemn blessing of the Church by His Grace.

(It was at the foot of this altar that Bishop Fulham had made his first profession of faith as a Catholic
and was received into the Church by Rev. Andre Lemieux - a priest of the Society of St Pius X - the previous year.)

Deus qui inter apostolicos Sacerdotes famulum tuum Marcellum pontificale fecisit dignitate vigere: praesta, quaesumus; ut eorum quoque perpetuo aggregetur consortio. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivat et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus: per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

God who in raising thy servant Marcel to the dignity of a bishop, didst give him a share in the priesthood of the apostles, we pray thee admit him now and for evermore into the apostolic company: through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: world without end. Amen.

Another photograph taken by Bishop Fulham after the Mass was concluded.
Here the Archbishop is greeted by the faithful outside the Church.
The Photograph was taken immediately prior to Bishop Fulham venerating the Holy Bishop's ring.

Out of humility it was the Archbishop's custom to conceal his choir cassock under a simple black overcoat
even on days at the seminary of St Pius X, Econe, CH, when major ceremonies were to take place later in the morning.
