Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Blessed Feast day of the Holy Name of Jesus!! I am posting today a talk by Fr. William Casey (below link)which is very relevant for today even though it was from a few years back. He talks about how we are to not be afraid and to start making changes today and not put them off till tomorrow. That is the New Year's failure that we all have encountered....putting it off......putting it off....putting it off. May we ask Our Lady to give us the necessary graces to serve God above all things and to do His most Holy Will daily starting today. May we grow in grace and may that be our goal until we are before Him on our judgement day.....For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of souls. Enjoy the link below and pray your daily Rosary begging Our Lady for help!

Blessed New Year to All! How to begin. We have so much chaos in the world and in the Church. This is a great time to be alive! We are called to be magnanimous in virtue and we can not acquire that without the Church...Her Sacraments...Her Tradition...Her Devotions. We are called to be sons and daughters of the One True God and fight for souls now more than ever. (Jesus, Mary, I love you ....save souls!) We can walk confidently with Our Lady; She will always bring us to Her Son! If we are not consecrated to Jesus through Mary and we do not live that consecration; we will be subject to so many temptations that we may not remain steadfast in our Faith. Below is a homily done in Advent but is perfect for the start of the new year. May we trust in the path of the Catholic Church that God has given to us with all of its treasures! May we not find ourselves slumping over the scandals that are all around us. May we take our banner with the words "Jesus and Mary" and go into battle like Joan of Arc with complete confidence that all is either willed by God or allowed by God.....and may we fight the good fight as St. Paul says we are to do! KNOW WE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE! Blessed New Year to all of you! Greetings in Jesus and Mary! Wow ... it has been so long since I posted...Sooo Sorrryy!! We had a busy month visiting kids downstate and I got the flu coming back. Thanks be to God for the "I" vitamin that we so call it! You know, the forbidden horse medicine. I take it now for any virus because the flu viruses "in my opinion" are all weaponized and mutating now. It WORKS! You get back on your feet fast and it stops the replication of the virus in the body which can cause all kinds of havoc! So MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Not so sure it will be a Happy New Year but we are ready for the challenge because GOD IS IN CHARGE and we were created for such a time as this! May we Consecrate ourselves and our families to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! At Christmas, I love to always meditate on the fact that Jesus was born in a manger....(a feeding trough) and in Bethlehem (House of Bread) .... .nothing by chance here! He came as the Living Bread come down from Heaven! Below is a beautiful prayer to pray as you receive Holy Communion! Always invite Mary to receive Jesus for you in your soul before each Holy Communion....so that She may receive Him and offer all our prayers....It is living a true Consecration to Jesus through Mary! "With ardent desire, O my Jesus, will I receive You into my soul in Holy Communion. Oh, that my heart were as pure and holy, as full of love for You, as that of Your most pure Mother, that thus I might receive You even as Mary received You from the hands of St. John! But alas, my heart loves You so little; it is so full of sin, so void of all virtues, so attached to the pleasures and goods of this world. O Mary, my dearest Mother, at this important moment I confidently turn to You. Holiest Mother, I pray You to lend me Your Heart, Your Heart so beautiful, so pure and immaculate, Your Heart full of love and humility, that I may be able to receive Jesus with the same sentiments with which You did receive Him. Come, O Mary, Yourself to me, and receive Jesus in me. You can do so, O loving Mother, on account of the dominion You do exercise over all hearts. O Jesus, true Son of God, I believe in You! O Jesus, my only refuge, I hope in You! O Jesus, my sovereign Good, I love You! And because I love You, I am sorry for ever having offended You. (If you cannot receive sacramentally, make an act of desire to receive spiritually) O Jesus, Who on account of Your special love for Mary do still long to take Your delight and rest in Her, and do desire to take this rest even in my soul, which is poorer and more wretched than was the stable of Bethlehem....behold, in humility and love, I lead You into the Heart of Mary and present You to Your Mother. O my dearest Mother, I give You the most noble of gifts, the same gift that the Heavenly Father presented to Your maternal arms, in Your virginal bosom, and enclose Him with greatest reverence in Your sweetest Heart. O Mother most admirable, adore Him, love Him, thank Him for me and in my name. I ask for nothing else than to belong wholly to You and to Your Son, now and forever. O Jesus, living in Mary! Come and live in Your servants, in the spirit of Your holiness, in the fulness of Your might, in the truth of Your virtues, in the perfection of Your ways, in the communion of Your mysteries; subdue every hostile power, in Your spirit, for the glory of the Father. Amen." Greetings in Jesus and Mary!! Blessed Thanksgiving!! May we give thanks to God for all that He has given to us which is EVERYTHING! Below is an article about the true First Thanksgiving! It is taken from the NATIONAL PARK SERVICE! There are more articles on the internet related to this same FACT! I thought this would be more convincing for those who might think a Catholic site would be bias. As Catholics, we should all know that the Catholic Mass is the best offering to God in thanksgiving for all that He has given to us! I hope you went to Mass this AM...if not.....tomorrow AM is the Feast of St. John of the Cross. (PS...please pray for my daughter Veronica who is 28 tomorrow. She is having a crisis of faith and I pray she comes to find the Truth in Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church. St. John of the Cross, pray for her, who was born on your feast day!) Enjoy the below article and do some more homework...facinating! Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day and May God bless us all! Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament...pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary! Well, we are entering into some dark times in the world and rightly so.....sin is everywhere. We must live in hope because God will not abandon us. We must be faithful and pray constantly for guidance, love and surrender to His Holy Will. The reality of today is...we are no match for Satan or his servants. Compared to them, Christians are in a sorry state. There is no unity among us. We are not even sure if we should fight, and if so, for what? We are plagued with ignorance, laxity and lukewarmness. Our thinking is emotional and illogical. We are not militant. We argue amongst ourselves and rebuke the few who try to awaken us; "Leave us alone and let us sleep!"....and in the meantime, the enemy steals our Church and even our countries from us! Our Blessed Mother who was given the duty to crush the head of the serpent has been begging us for centuries to PRAY...PRAY THE ROSARY! This is stronger than nuclear bombs. Satan dreads prayer and is capable of tempting each and every one of us to sleep...we have all been there. It takes true commitment and sincere love for Our Blessed Mother to pick up that rosary and PRAY it daily and more than once a day. In sharp contrast, we see the enemy working. We see the satanists growing in numbers and the satanic rituals that we hear about...they are real. In the Secret of LaSalette is the message, "And then Jesus Christ in an act of His justice and His great Mercy will command His Angels to have all His enemies put to death. Suddenly, the persecutors of the Church of Jesus Christ and all those given over to sin will perish and the earth will become desert like." Do you oppose this form of Mercy? This is the only hope we have left for ourselves and for our offspring! The world today resembles a cancer patient whose days are numbered. Our Lady of Fatima offered us a preventative medicine but we refused to swallow it. Thus we have left no alternative but for God Himself to operate and cut the cancer out! A message from Our Lady to Sr. Elena Aiello: "Listen attentively, and reveal to all: The wrath of God is near. Soon the world will be afflicted with great calamities, bloody revolutions, frightful hurricanes, and the overflowing of streams and the sea...Arms most deadly will destroy peoples and nations! Clouds with lightning, flashes of fire in the sky and a tempest of fire shall fall upon the world. This terrible scourge, never before seen in the history of humanity will last seventy hours. Godless persons will be crushed and wiped out. "Be not silent, my daughter, because the hours of darkness, of abandonment, are near!" "The rulers of nations make so much ado and speak of peace but instead the whole world will soon be at war...tremendous will be the upheaval of the whole world because men as at the time of the Deluge; have lost God's way, and are ruled by the spirit of Satan." "There will be frightful moments for all, because Heaven will be joined with the earth and all the ungodly people will be destroyed! Some nations will be purified, while others will disappear entirely! ....And all this fire is not that which will fall from the hands of men, but will be hurled directly from the Angels!" (Urgent Warning from Heaven, Two Hearts Book Publishing) "Watch and pray because you do not know the day nor the hour." Matt 24:42 May we be obedient to Our Blessed Mother and pray! Pray the Rosary for peace! Below is a video on the tensions overseas....I found it important to watch because we are being deceived on all fronts...worth investigating. Caution on video....fast forward the segment when he is about to show the human sacrifice...knowing about it and watching it are two things....I advise skipping it but it is important to the information presented. May Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Today we remember all those Carmelite souls that have gone before us. May we not only pray for them today but ask them to pray for us as we journey toward Heaven to be with Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Blessed Mother. On this day, the Order remembers in prayer, and confides to the loving mercy of God, all the members of the Carmelite Family who have died. On it we remember all members of the First (priests and monks), Second (nuns and sisters) and Third Orders (laymen and women) who have passed from this life and are not yet admitted to the Beatific Vision. I ask you to pray for them in union with both the Carmelites of the Traditional Observance and the Discalced Carmelites. Prayer: Lord, You are the glory of those who serve You. Look lovingly on our departed brothers and sisters, united in following Christ and His Mother by the waters of baptism and the bonds of Carmel. In your mercy grant them everlasting sight of You their Creator and Redeemer. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Eternal rest grant unto them, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for them. Greetings in Jesus and Mary! Today is the feast of All Carmelite Saints...November 14th. Tomorrow is the Feast of All Carmelite Souls! I am repeating some of the info that I posted last year for us to renew and repeat which is to focus our attention on becoming saints.....as St. Teresa of Avila said...."Let us be true friends of Jesus because He has so FEW OF THEM." If we have been called to give an intense life of Love and Prayer to God, then we better give it our best shot. We need to make up for so many who do not say..."I love You to God"......day in and day out! AND THERE ARE MILLIONS!.....FOR CENTURIES! This should encourage us to be TRUE LOVERS OF GOD!! Let us be truly obedient, self-sacrificing lovers of the One Who First Loved Us! There is so much coldness in the world and it is intensifying.....may we listen to St. John of the Cross and ...."Put love where there is no love!" Let us throughout our day be as "new" lovers who throughout their day keep their thoughts on the one they love. May we be in union with Him each minute...May we offer our every move to Him. I will post below the link from this website that has daily prayers to say....may we memorize them and say them with pure love in our hearts. First, may we try to receive Jesus at daily Mass and if we can not go to Mass....let us offer Spiritual Communions...even many throughout our day. St. Peter Julian Eymard called Spiritual Communions...kindling for the fire. When we see the fire die down....throw kindling on the fire to keep our love for Jesus vibrant. May we be obedient to Our Blessed Mother and pray the Rosary daily....May we pray Her Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary faithfully (offer this in reparation for the religious who do not and in respect of Her love)...May we wear Her Brown Scapular faithfully and share this knowledge with others even if they reject this advice...maybe someday they will not! It can be a seed planted that Our Lady can nourish with grace! Let us walk in Faith, Hope and Love as true friends of Jesus Christ and of His Most Holy Mother. May we live in imitation of Her as true Carmelites....always in the presence of Our Lord in His service and Love! God does not force anyone...says St. Teresa of Jesus, "but to those who follow Him, He gives them to drink in many ways, so that none may lack comfort or die of thirst!" May we fortify ourselves for the fight and help nourish others with our prayers of reparation. "O Mary, you gave Jesus to the world in silence and retirement; unnoticed, you shared His whole life, His works, His Passion. Teach me the secret of the interior apostolate of prayer and hidden sacrifices, known to God alone....make us saints!" Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, OCD (pray for us) Our Lady of Mt. Carmel...pray for us! Carmelite Saints....pray for us here on earth!!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary… Today is the Feast of Christ the King (in the Traditional Calendar)! What does this mean? As Catholics, we know that we are under the leadership of Our Lord and King and there WAS a time in history before the Protestant Revolution when Catholic Europe was a Catholic society where all decisions by those in nobility and power based laws on Catholic morality. Luther ushered in the “I will not serve” of Satan with his revolt against Catholicism. It was the beginning of individualism and naturalism where man is put before God. We then have the French Revolution with the “Declaration of the Rights of Man”. Fr. Denis Fahey CSSP summarized the Declaration as a formal renunciation of allegiance to Christ the King of the supernatural life, and of membership in Christ’s Mystical Body. He continued: “The French State thereby officially declared that it no longer acknowledged any duty to God through Our Lord Jesus Christ, and no longer recognized the dignity of membership of Christ in its citizens. It thus inaugurated the attack on the organization of society under Christ the King which has continued down to the present day.” The principle that all authority comes from the people is now all but universally accepted throughout the West. The basis of public morality is whatever the contemporary consensus of citizens is prepared to accept. It would be very hard to convince the average Catholic today that his country should not be governed by the will of the people or that our elected representatives are anything more than delegates of the people who voted them into power. Especially since the Second Vatican Council and its documents and its own “government” of the new idea of “synods” which sprang up with Pope Paul VI, we now have a democracy of contemporary consensus of bishops who are not even walking with God! This latest synod on synodality is a great example….we are traveling far from Catholic teaching with each new synod which means FAR FROM THE KINGSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST!! One of the most important books you could read is Fr. Fahey’s book, “The Kingship of Christ and Organized Naturalism”. Fr. Fahey masterfully details the contrast between the Church’s social teachings and organized naturalism, which is nothing more than Freemasonry and the work of other groups which are always striving to make what is now called “Secular Humanism” the dominant ideology ruling the world. They have succeeded to a large degree; but, by reading this book you will not only be better able to recognize their errors, you will be inspired to reverse the gains they have made and help advance the Social Reign of Christ the King! What do we as Catholic do with such a crisis within our country and within our “Church”? According to Hilaire Belloc in his essay, “The Church and the Modern State” published in 1931 he states: “Where there is a conflict between the civil law and the moral law of the Catholic Church, members of the Catholic Church will resist the civil law and obey the law of the Church.” This is also true now WITHIN the Catholic Church. If Papa Bergoglio says we are to accept same sex marriages and allow women priests and deacons.....we are to resist! I have previously written about Freemasonry and there is much written outside this blog about the infiltration of the Freemasons within the Catholic Church – we are to RESIST! Unfortunately, we have uneducated Catholics who believe that if a Pope says it is now true....we are to believe the Pope and NOT Tradition....NO WE ARE TO RESIST!!! We are to KNOW our Faith. Our Pre-Vatican II Faith. WHY? Because it is untarnished and it is the teachings of the Church to maintain the perennial Truths of Tradition. God does not change. Truth is immutable! 1 + 1 will always equal 2 ---- in this century and 20 centuries from now. If we continue to change the teachings of our Tradition that has been handed down through the ages – we get chaos – it will evolve into something unrecognizable......and FAR FROM THE KINGSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST!! How do we restore the Kingdom of Christ? Well, this website was created to share the best kept secret in the Catholic Church and that is Mary! St. Louis deMontfort stated that Christ is not known and loved because His Mother is not known and loved. We need to pray for the reign of the Immaculate Heart in men so that She can usher in the reign of Her Son and our King...Jesus Christ within our hearts and homes and world. This is a perennial teaching of the Church. Notice how during the Second Vatican Council, Our Lady was given a back seat. Proof it was going in the wrong direction. It was a PERFECT time while the Bishops were there to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as She asked at Fatima....but NO...instead it was not done and the Third Secret that was to be revealed to the world was put on a shelf. Pope John XXIII stated that he felt ... it WOULD NEVER BE READ TO THE WORLD. In order for the Reign of Christ the King, we need to consecrate ourselves and our families to Mary's Immaculate Heart during this time in history when Satan and his cohorts are running loose seeking the ruin of souls! How will you protect yourselves otherwise? How is Jesus to reign on the throne of our hearts if Mary does not intercede for us during these days of intense trials? She came to ask for this at Fatima because She knew we would be facing war and punishments for NOT amending our lives and living under the Kingship of Her Son and Our Lord! BUT IN THE END HER IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.....JESUS WILL REIGN! Have a blessed Feast day and place Jesus and Mary on the throne of your heart! Pray your rosary and wear your scapular as a sign of consecration to Her Immaculate Heart. Love Jesus in the Holy Eucharist....where He is truly present!! Sacred Heart of Jesus may Thy Kingdom come through Mary!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary! "Millions may hurry along the streets of great cities absorbed in their business or pleasure or sorrows, with never a thought of God. yet the only True God is no less real. It is He Who sustains them in their existence. Men must be brought to be conscious of the fact of God's existence, of their utter dependence on His power and love and mercy, and of their MORAL OBLIGATION to shape their daily lives according to HIS MOST HOLY WILL." Quote taken from a radio address of Pope Pius XII to the members of the Eight National Congress of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in Boston Oct. 26, 1946. The above quote was given 77 years ago and still holds true today! Many people have desired an intimate relationship with God but struggle to acquire it even after being faithful to prayer and following the commandments of God. Practicing the Presence of God is something I propose today....and especially today because we are living in trying times and are tempted to give in to the enemy. If we practice this on a continual basis throughout our day....the Presence of God....we are less likely to sin and grow cold in our faith and love. Try to keep God company throughout the entire day...all that you see....all that you say and do. The exercise of the presence of God is for all men at all times. If we find it difficult to keep His Presence in our minds then there is the added option or added exercise of keeping holy cards, images and prayer cards scattered around your surroundings. One can put them in our car, rooms of the house, at the entrance of doorways and on our personage. This is why wearing the Brown Scapular and holy medals is so crucial....it is always a reminder to us of who we are, Who we belong to and where we are truly going. I bring this subject up today because we are getting into serious waters of conflicts in the world. If we are not totally connected to God at this time with our thoughts and prayers....it will be difficult to navigate through these days. WW3 is in its beginning days with more intensity to come. As Our Lady of Fatima said at Fatima, war is a chastisement allowed by God for the punishment of the sins that both you and I know are escalating daily. Our own Papa Bergoglio is on a path to serving Satan rather than God We are in need of a Great Reset and it will happen by God .....not by Klaus Schwab and WEF! All of this will end with a Restoration which will be for His greater glory and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! I have included two videos below...one by NYPrepper who I believe gives the best updates on the details happening in this war around the world...Below is his latest update. I highly recommend you click into him daily if you want detailed updates. Also, there is a video about this WW3, the 3 Days of Darkness and the Restoration. I believe this priest does an excellent job on this presentation and covers most of what we need to know ..... and more importantly WHAT WE NEED TO DO!! PLEASE SHARE!! Bottom line is that we need to get right with God, trust in His love and mercy, know that He is in charge. We all know that throughout human history, God has had to chastise the world with war in order for them to come back to reality; and it is a mystery that sin needs reparation for the crimes done. If we are called to be martyred at this time...God's Will Be Done! If we are to live to see the Restoration...God's Will be Done! Keep up the Sacraments and the prayer life, keep up the Fatima prayers of Reparation and repeat often....Jesus, Mary, I love You...save souls! OUR LADY OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY ......PRAY FOR US! Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... This post is a repeat from one that I have done in the past with some minor changes. Tomorrow is the feast of St. Teresa of Jesus of the Order of Carmel. She is known as the great reformer which she is. At her time, the Carmelites were lax and not as disciplined as in previous times. Our Lord wanted her to make reforms to bring it back to prayer and austerity for His greater glory and for the salvation of souls. Below, I have included a clip on her vision of hell. This was more of a means of inspiration for her to take on all the sufferings WHICH WERE MANY in order to achieve what God had intended for her to do in order to reform the Carmelite Order and draw souls to Him and to help Him and Our Lady win many many souls through their prayers and sufferings. Do we need another reform???? NOW MORE THAN EVER - not just disciplines but practices of devotion as well. This makes it more important and more dire than in the days of St. Teresa!! We are being denied the very principles that the Carmelite Order was built upon. Needless to say - this is the reason for this website. We are living in a time when it is difficult in the Novus Ordo Church to allow such a reform to happen - The friars that are in charge want to go forward and modernize like our Papa Bergoglio. Tradition is looked upon as backward. I have met with resistance in the Carmelite Order to any notion of going back to Tradition. I believe it will happen in time - until then -- we have to deal with the modernists and do what we can behind closed doors. St. Teresa pray that we may have determined determination to draw close to God and unite ourselves to His Holy Will in imitation of our Blessed Mother! Our Lady of Mt. Carmel pray for us. St. Teresa pray for us. NOTE: This vision of hell is to help all of us endure all the sufferings in this life so that we can be with our Lord and our Lady in the next. May we strive to do the Will of God and nothing else as St. Teresa did. |
