Video of FSSP Priestly Ordinations in Germany

The German-language YouTube channel of the Fraternity of St Peter has recently issued a highlight video of the priestly ordination of seven men, celebrated this past June 15 in the church of Ss Peter and Paul in Lindenberg (Bavaria). The ordaining bishop was Wolfgang Haas, the retired (as of September of last year) archbishop of Vaduz, Lichtenstein, who had just celebrated his golden jubilee of his own priestly ordination. There are several shots of the beautiful custom (not formally a part of the rite) by which the newly ordained priests give to their mothers the cloth which is tied around their hands at the anointing. It is a long-standing custom that the mother of a priest is buried with this cloth in her hands, to symbolize that she gave a priest to God, and will be rewarded for this in heaven. Over 900 people were present for the ceremony. Feliciter, et ad multos annos!
