No one knows the day or the hour but we do have signs.<br /><br />Below are the words of Our Lady to Sr. Lucia, may we take them to heart and pray the Rosary for peace, the reparation prayers, and keep in the state of grace with frequenting the Sacraments (while we still have them).<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">OUR LADY TO SR. LUCIA....</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&ldquo;If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the reign of Pius XI.&nbsp;</span><strong style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)"><font size="5"><em>When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its sins, by means of war, famine, and persecutions against the Church and of the Holy Father.</em>&nbsp;</font></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&ldquo;To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If My requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.&rdquo;</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Here Our Lady warns of the events &ndash; including war! &ndash; to be foreshadowed by the &ldquo;</span><em style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">night illumined by an unknown light</em><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&rdquo;. She also provides the solution for preventing these events: the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart and the devotion of the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. The night of the &ldquo;unknown light&rdquo; occurred. But, unfortunately, Our Lady&rsquo;s requests have gone unheeded, and many of the predicted events have already occurred.&nbsp;</span><strong style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Thus it would seem that &lsquo;the annihilation of nations&rsquo; is looming on the horizon&hellip;</strong><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">By 1938, World War II was about to break out. It would begin &ldquo;during the reign of Pius XI,&rdquo; signaled by &ldquo;a night illumined by an unknown light&rdquo;. On the night of January 25-26, 1938 &ndash; during the reign of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) &ndash; the sky became a brilliant blood-red. Likened to the blaze of a gigantic fire and filling the evening sky, it was seen across Europe and even in parts of North America and North Africa.</span><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Though it was determined by many to be a most extraordinary aurora borealis, this phenomenon exhibited many characteristics not associated with an aurora borealis. It would appear that many simply assigned it that designation because they had no more appropriate term or explanation.&nbsp;&nbsp;And Sister Lucia expressed reservations about it being referred to as an aurora borealis. She wrote in her third memoir on August 31, 1941 that&nbsp;</span><strong style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">no matter what cause the light could be attributed to,</strong><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&nbsp;</span><strong style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&ldquo;God made use of this to make me understand that His justice was about to strike the guilty nations&hellip;&rdquo;</strong><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Here we are with so much pointing to another war, famine and pestilence and much more. Pray, Read, Fast. Pray the Reparation Prayers taught at Fatima daily. Live in God's love and peace knowing that we are His!<br /><br />Below is one short video of sun activity currently happening. I follow Stefan Burns on YouTube who gives daily updates as well below that. I encourage anyone to keep an eye on the skies as Malachi Martin recommended. I always felt that the miracle of the sun had some important significance. The words at Akita also mention fire from the skies. Not to be alarmed....just prepared.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Jesus, Mary, I love You....save souls!&nbsp; &nbsp;(pray this quite often in your day for those dying today and those to die soon)</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Our Lady of Fatima and of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us!</span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBtt91b_xY" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">There are many proofs of Sun Activity...here is one</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LEauAtmBCo" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Stefan Burns Update on the Solar Weather</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minor Rogation Days - May 11, 12, 13 - Famine is Coming - WE NEED THIS!]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/minor-rogation-days-may-11-12-13-famine-is-coming-we-need-this]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/minor-rogation-days-may-11-12-13-famine-is-coming-we-need-this#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 12:32:48 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/minor-rogation-days-may-11-12-13-famine-is-coming-we-need-this</guid><description><![CDATA[ Greetings in Jesus and Mary....FAMINE IS COMING!

These Rogation Days of Prayers, Processions, Fasting and Masses are NECESSARY for the world. May we participate as much as we can.<br /><br />&#8203;First, the Rogation Days remind us that God governs the natural world. Rain, drought, fertility of crops, and the stability of the seasons are ultimately subject to Divine Providence. The faithful therefore rightly ask God to bless the fruits of the earth. Note how this truth is also expressed in the Message of Fatima. The Miracle of the Sun is its most striking example.<br /><br />Second, they express the reality that sin has social consequences. The Church historically recognized that widespread sin could draw down divine chastisement. Public penance and prayer were therefore offered not only for individual conversion but for the protection of entire communities. This truth is likewise affirmed by Our Lady&rsquo;s Message at Fatima. Her Immaculate Heart is pierced by many thorns which are the sins of men who directly offend Her. Our Lord and Our Lady call on us to remove these thorns by our reparation, especially the First Saturday devotion.<br /><br />Third, Rogation Days affirm the power of public prayer. When the Church gathers as a body to implore God&rsquo;s mercy, the faithful exercise the communal dimension of the Mystical Body of Christ. As one would expect, this reality is also affirmed at Fatima. Our Lady tells us the prayer of the Rosary can solve any conflict. It is a necessary means for ending wars and having peace in our families. And the proper Consecration of Russia, a public prayer by the united Church hierarchy will be the pivotal event which dramatically brings a period of peace to our war-torn world.<br /><br />God have mercy upon the farmers, please bless these drought stricken lands with rain.<br /><br />Holy Mother Mary, please intercede for us!<br /><br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://fatima.org/news-views/the-theology-of-rogation-days-and-sacred-processions/" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Explanation of the Rogation Days</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jud8UZfh59E" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Video of Explanations of Rogation Days</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/uploads/9/8/8/0/98808958/rogation_litany_prayers__1_.docx" > <span class="wsite-button-inner">Rogation Prayers to Print</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother's Day - Holy Mother Please Pray For Catholic Families to Remain Catholic]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/mothers-day-holy-mother-please-pray-for-catholic-families-to-remain-catholic]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/mothers-day-holy-mother-please-pray-for-catholic-families-to-remain-catholic#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 03:10:28 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/mothers-day-holy-mother-please-pray-for-catholic-families-to-remain-catholic</guid><description><![CDATA[ Greetings in Jesus and Mary...Blessed Mother's Day to all mothers.

May we thank the Eternal Father for our own sweet Blessed Mother in heaven who watches over all of us day and night!&nbsp;<br /><br />As we all know, there is a crisis in the Catholic Church and in the world. We no longer know what a mother or a father is today....nor do we know their roles. There is so much confusion that we need to pick up our Rosaries as Our Blessed Mother has asked and DAILY pray the Family Rosary! If the entire family is not present...it should still be prayed for the sake of the graces needed today. Those that have adult children are experiencing the break from the Catholic Faith. The Rosary needs to be prayed by the parents of these adult children with confidence that the promises of the Rosary will bring them back....in God's time.<br /><br />Here are some words from Bishop Sheen on the family in relation to the society. I feel this is pertinent today as we are at war now and it is highly probable to escalate. At the end of this year, December 2026, there will be an automatic draft for all males 18 to 25..are we ready for the sacrifice...are our young men ready for the sacrifice. In this world of "Me, Myself and I"; we will take a great loss in this nation and in the world from the lack of self-sacrifice. The young people today feel victimized by everything. They can no longer take ownership of their own faults and weaknesses. They can no longer seek their help in God because we now have sciences with great "experts". Is God preparing to give us a great reset with the hard times we have coming on the horizon? May our dear Blessed Mother guide us to Truth....to Her Son...through our praying of the Rosary....<br /><br />Words of Bishop Sheen....<br /><em style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)"><strong>"Every child has a fundamental right to a real mother and father. The flesh and blood originators of life alone can put into play those spiritual forces which are essential for the development of the child. Social culture also demands a permanent bond between man and woman, for no civilization can endure without responsibility and loyalty to one&rsquo;s trust. When 50 percent of married couples feel that they can throw overboard pledged loyalty in order to suit their own pleasure or convenience, then the hour has struck when citizens will no longer feel a need to keep their pledge to America as citizens. Once a citizenry does not feel bound to the most natural and democratic of all self-governing commonwealths, the home, it will not be long until it ceases to feel bound to a nation. When a Mrs. White is ready to call herself Mrs. Brown, then it will only be a short time before Americans will be calling themselves Soviets. The traitors to the home today are the traitors to the nation tomorrow. A people who are not loyal to a home will not be loyal to a flag.<br /><br />The permanence of the bond is necessary also for sacrifice. So long as a nation of families learns to renounce the &ldquo;mine&rdquo; in the &ldquo;ours&rdquo; of their offspring, there is strength. The family then becomes a training school in self-discipline; it crushes egotism for the sake of the group, as all members learn the supreme lesson of living with others for the sake of others. But if there is the slightest disagreement resulting from the eating of crackers in bed, or if the other party fails to give pleasure, or if the desire of greener pastures makes the present grazing less appealing; if every emotion, whim, appetite, and fancy has a right to be satisfied even at the cost of another person; then what shall happen to the sacrifice so necessary for a nation in time of crisis and conflict? The fewer sacrifices a man is required to make, the more loath he will be to make those few.&nbsp;<u>His luxuries soon become necessities, children a burden, and the ego a god.&nbsp; Where will come our heroes in a crisis, if we no longer have heroes in the home? If a man will not put up with the trials of a household, will he put up with the trials of a national emergency?</u>&nbsp;Once the need of sacrifice for maintenance of the home is uprooted, there is simultaneously uprooted the need of sacrifice for the maintenance of a nation. Only a nation that recognizes sweat, toil, hardship, and sacrifice as normal aspects of life can save itself, and these virtues are first learned in the home.</strong>"</em><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">May we all pray the Family Rosary for the coming war, famine and pestilence about to engulf the earth for our crimes !&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;Dear Mother Mary - pray for us!!</span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Brown Scapular - Fr.

This July 16th, 2026 will be the 775 year anniversary of receiving the Brown Scapular from Our Lady so we need to do our part in trying to promote it.<br /><br />I am posting a link below of Fr. Howard Rafferty, O Carm talking about Our Lady of Fatima and the Brown Scapular. He is a TRUE hero of Carmel. He did so much to promote Our Lady's messages and Her Brown Scapular. With all the chaos going on right now in the Church and in the world.....listening to these words from him are a breathe of fresh air! WOW - HOW WE NEED PRIESTS LIKE HIM TODAY!!<br /><br />I took the following words from the website....Scapularofmtcarmel.com........<br /><br />On August 15, 1950, Father Howard Rafferty spoke with Sister Lucy regarding the Fatima message and it's connection with the Brown Scapular:<br /><br /><strong>Sister Lucy:</strong><br /><em>"Everyone seems to think that there are only four conditions of the Fatima Message ...there is one more condition - the wearing of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel."</em><br /><br /><strong>Father Rafferty:</strong><br /><em>"You mean that if one did all four things, but did not wear the Scapular [of Mount Carmel], he/she would not fulfill what Our Lady asked for at Fatima?"</em><br /><br /><strong>Sister Lucy:</strong><br /><em>"He could not fulfill what the Blessed Mother asked for at Fatima if he refused to wear the Brown Scapular!"</em><br /><br /><strong>Father Rafferty:</strong><br /><em>"Do you mean to say that the wearing of the Brown Scapular is not just something Our Lady would like us to do, but that it is essential to the Message?"</em><br /><br /><br /><strong>Sister Lucy:</strong><br /><em>"Exactly! One could not follow the Message of Fatima unless he/she fulfilled the five conditions, one of which is the wearing of the Brown Scapular all the time -- day and night."</em><br /><br /><strong>The four main advantages to be derived from the wearing of the Brown Scapular</strong><br />1. It is a safeguard and pledge of special protection in dangers of soul and body (which has been proved by many miracles).<br /><br />2. It is a sign of salvation, which means that a person wearing this scapular at the moment of death would be saved and would not go to hell. Thus for the just man on his death bed, Our Lady would obtain the grace of final perseverance; for a sinner, she would obtain the grace of conversion and the restoration of the state of grace, either by providing a priest to hear his confession, or by obtaining the grace to make an act of perfect contrition.<br /><br />3. We can be confident of a quick release from Purgatory.<br /><br />4. We acquire the right to a participation in all the good works, penances and merits of the members of the Carmelite Order.</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJDYZnAdOwc" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Fr.

This was posted on LifeSite News and a commentary was done by Anthony Stine from Return to Tradition.<br /><br />What they have to say in this declaration is something for all of us to ponder and ask ourselves....&nbsp;why have not&nbsp;the Cardinals and Bishops of the past 60 years&nbsp;written&nbsp; something similar....other than they must be of an indifferent mindset and not really care about the souls that are being lost on a daily basis in the Church.<br /><br />Many dioceses are closing churches in the hundreds and this is all due to the changing of the Mass and all the Sacraments of the Church. The Freemasons have succeeded in their infiltration and have wrecked havoc on the entire Church.<br /><br />Below is a small segment of this document for you to see before examining it in its entirety.<br /><br />"<em><strong>The conclusion is clear: we cannot cooperate with those who claim to be Catholic but spiral ever deeper into apostasy28. No Catholic can. 29 The pirates have boarded the Ark of Peter; there is no room for us on the deck. We must climb to the high mast for safety; there at the cross beam hangs Our Crucified Lord. We will only find shelter in His Open Side: Hide us within Thy wounds, never let us be separated from Thee. Here is a simple truth: We are watching the Church, the holy vineyard laid waste by the enemies within. <u>It has reached the point in which it is impossible for any of us to avoid the influence of the false Vatican II Church.</u> When Modernist bishops, priests and laity around us believe that this false direction is desired by God. When they think that Religious Indifference is a good thing, that Ecumenism means treating error as equal to truth, that the Pope can bless what God has forbidden, and many other abominations, then <u>we cannot partake with them without being in grave danger of losing the Faith ourselves. </u>W<u>e are forbidden to place our Faith in danger.</u> 5 St. Paul asked: &ldquo;What fellowship hath light with darkness? What concord hath Christ with Belial?&rdquo; 30 The answer is: none. There can be no cooperation between those who confess that Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, true God and true Man, is the only way to salvation, and those who teach that all religions lead to the same God. There can be no cooperation between those who uphold the moral law and those who bless what is intrinsically evil. There can be no cooperation between those who offer the traditional Mass and those who have given us a liturgy designed to empty the faith from the hearts of the faithful. We must move on. We must move away from all cooperation with those who have abandoned the Faith and therefore the Church. We must refuse the Modernist hierarchy, the false Second Vatican Council, the false teaching that masquerades as Catholicism31 but is in fact the ancient heresy of indifferentism dressed in modern clothes. St Jerome in about 379 AD, lamenting the overthrow of the Nicaean Creed wrote: &ldquo;The whole world groaned and was astonished to find itself Arian.&rdquo; Evil had taken over most of the Church and the world. Today he would write: &ldquo;The whole world groans and is astonished to find itself Modernist.&rdquo; <u><font color="#2a2a2a" size="5">Alas, there is as yet little groaning among the Faithful while the shouts of the Revolution of 1789 echo its victory over the ancient Catholic structures."</font></u></strong></em><br /><br />May we pray fervently for these apostate leaders to return to the True Church who have been wrecking havoc on the entire Church causing MANY to lose their souls....including our children! May we cling to Our Lady in these times of great apostasy and beg Her for the necessary graces that we, our families, our parishes, our pastors....the entire world needs right now. May we trust ourselves to Her care in guiding us out of these heresies coming out of Rome and may She lead ALL OF US back to Her Son Jesus Christ!<br />&#8203;<br />Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://papastronsay.com/resources/documents/The%20Dogma%20to%20Steer%20By.pdf" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">The Dogma To Steer By</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our Lady of Fatima Predicted the Entire World will be ruled by Communism]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/our-lady-of-fatima-predicted-the-entire-world-will-be-ruled-by-communism]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/our-lady-of-fatima-predicted-the-entire-world-will-be-ruled-by-communism#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 22:18:36 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/our-lady-of-fatima-predicted-the-entire-world-will-be-ruled-by-communism</guid><description><![CDATA[ Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....I hope you are having a great feast day of St. Joseph.

May we ask for his intercession during these trying times. I have an article on him just before this one. I had to address this topic of communism...it ties into the article I wrote just before St. Joseph day...on AI.<br /><br />Below are some proofs that Communism is taking hold of the world...which if we have our eyes open have been seeing it slowly happen before our eyes.<br /><br />It seems that the visit of Our Lady of Fatima would have something to do with Communism since She came at the time Russia was coming up with their plans. She is a good and loving Mother who came to warn of this grave danger entering into the world. Our Lady told Sr. Lucia that if we do not live as she has asked...first, consecrating Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, praying the Rosary, making Eucharistic Reparation, doing our First Saturdays (which by the way is tomorrow) that Communism will control the world. Sr. Lucia told Fr. Fuentes this in his interview with her in 1957 and he immediately asked......even in the USA? Her response was yes!<br /><br />Below are some videos to see how this is progressing and the solution of course would be to go to our First Saturday devotions, pray our daily Rosary for Peace and make the Consecration of yourself and your family to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with the Enthronement. Placing ourselves and our loved ones in their care will bring peace in accepting God's Will and trusting in His gentle care for all of His children.<br /><br />Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!<br />Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta...please pray for us!</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C4vjxKPNIc" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">This is China NOW - The World TOMORROW</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoTlAasqI4I" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Prepping us for 15 minute cities - No Gas, No Car</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbAm3z3Gbpc&t=916s" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Digital Banking - Turning It Off for You</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpRIy8pJ6wk" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Tax on your Home Equity - USA Hooray!</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[St. Joseph - Patron Saint of Workers]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/st-joseph-patron-saint-of-workers]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/st-joseph-patron-saint-of-workers#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 07:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/st-joseph-patron-saint-of-workers</guid><description><![CDATA[ Greetings in Jesus and Mary....Blessed Feast day of St. Joseph, The Worker!I want to start by asking you to read the article before this that was just posted on the evils of AI and how it will affect those who want to love God above all things.

May St. Joseph, pray for the Church and the entire world!!<br /><br />I chose this image because as leader of the Holy Family, Joseph did at times comfort the Child Jesus and now more than ever do we need fathers who work for their families....comfort their children who are suffering like no other time in history! I am repeating some words spoken in the past. It is important to talk about the relationship of Joseph and Mary on the feastday of St. Joseph the Worker because he worked for the Holy Family. Mary and Joseph should be examples for all married couples even though they were equiped with amazing graces that none of us will ever have....but with God all things are possible and we can work and pray to come CLOSE to this relationship that Joseph and Mary had in their marriage. In today's so very CONFUSED world ..... we need St. Joseph....we need Our Lady! Whether we are married or not, but especially if we are married. The graces available to all of us through their intercession are bountiful!!!<br /><br />Mary and St. Joseph's spousal love for each other was like no other between husband and wife. Of course, we know that Our Lady is God's Masterpiece and was created without sin. This helped St. Joseph to be a man of tremendous prayer and virtue. This makes them role models to look up to and to imitate for all married couples. Even though both were virgins, their example in the virtues and in their perfect interior life in union with God is a great example all couples should try to imitate. Joseph was chosen by God to be Mary's faithful spouse and guardian. Grateful was the Heart of Mary to the Eternal Father for this great gift.&nbsp; Mary loved her role as a homemaker, wife and mother because She always embraced God's Will. Their relationship of love, duty, and prayer are truly miraculous because of the graces that the Eternal Father gave to both of them to be living examples of a perfect Holy Family. St. Joseph's responsibilities, were always carried out with perfect humility and love because of his response to God's heavenly graces. When it was time for St. Joseph to be taken from this earth, it is claimed that St. Joseph died a peaceful death even though he was leaving Jesus and Mary whom he was appointed to guard and protect. He had perfect submission to God's Holy Will knowing that God's ways are perfect. He trusted that God would provide.&nbsp; Thus, with St. Joseph's example; God is glorified by sacrifice, by sorrow, by suffering. Our sweet Mother Mary gives us also an example in her release of St. Joseph from this world. May we all turn to St. Joseph for a holy and happy death; and may all mothers, and wives turn to Mary for comfort as She is the Mother of Sorrows and can supply comfort.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">May we thank God for giving us the gifts of Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph.</span><br /><br /><u><strong><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH</span></strong></u><br /><br /><em><strong><span style="color:rgb(123, 140, 137)">Dear St. Joseph. we as children of Mary turn to you with love and entrust ourselves to your protection and care. Guard us from the dangers of this world. Keep us innocent, truthful, loving and prayerful. We trust that you will use your powerful intercession with God on our behalf. Please protect the husbands and fathers of the world. Pray that they may turn to God to seek the graces needed to give protection and guidance to all those in their care so that they may all journey toward Heaven. Grant us your blessing and assist us now and at the hour of our death. In imitation of you, we pray that we may have a perfect submission to our own death as God wills it to be.&nbsp; St. Joseph ... pray for us and all fathers of families...make them true leaders.</span></strong></em></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray the Rosary for the Church & The World's Current Scare - Technocracy]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/pray-the-rosary-for-the-church-the-worlds-current-scare-technocracy]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/pray-the-rosary-for-the-church-the-worlds-current-scare-technocracy#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:41:42 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.traditionallaycarmelites.com/talks/pray-the-rosary-for-the-church-the-worlds-current-scare-technocracy</guid><description><![CDATA[ Greetings in Jesus and Mary....I really do not know how to start this article....it is soon the Feast of St. Joseph and may we pray to him for help and intercession to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary forwhat is coming our way very soon with the Data Centers popping up everywhere and the 6G and the AI Technology....one may ask ..... why is this on a religious site?

The first is an interview of the new Archbishop of Detroit who was placed a little over a year ago when Archbishop Vigneron stepped down, March, 2025. He came from an Arizona diocese where Bishop Wiesenberger was known for the most draconian measures taken in the churches during COVID.&nbsp; Looks like he is the right man of power for this job of destruction!<br /><br />I do not have an official number for you but the total amount of parishes in Detroit at the moment number 209 and it is estimated that it will be down to close to 50 by the end of 2027 or earlier.&nbsp;The Archdiocese is publishing financial and demographic workbooks for each of its parishes online, ahead of area listening sessions to get community feedback.<br /><br /><strong><em>"I promise you there is no set plan; if there was, we wouldn't be doing all of this work. But we are committed to that transparency, and we're committed to a process that engages every person that wants to be involved,</em></strong>" said&nbsp;<span style="color:rgb(16, 16, 16)">Fr. Mario Amore who is the executive director of parish renewal for the Archdiocese, the department behind the restructuring process.</span><br /><br />I believe that all of this waste of time of analysis is a front to make it look like they DID NOT HAVE A PLAN.....but in reality DID.&nbsp; Too cruel to just take the ax to it!<br /><br />He began in March 2025 and went right to work with his destruction of the Diocese by firing three influential professors in August, (five months in).&nbsp;<span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Archbishop Edward Weisenburger was accused of breaking several institutional policies and even civil law in his abrupt&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/detroit-archbishop-fires-renowned-conservative-professors-from-sacred-heart-seminary/">firings</a><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;of three renowned and faithful professors from Sacred Heart Seminary.</span><br /><br />Weisenburger also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/detroit-archbishop-shuts-down-most-latin-masses-bans-ad-orientem-worship/">came under fire</a>&nbsp;in June 2025 (3 months in) for promulgating a new liturgical policy which significantly reduced the numbers of Traditional Latin Mass offerings in the Archdiocese.<br /><br />While the archbishop said he was simply implementing&nbsp;<em>Tradiitionis Custodes</em>, issued by Pope Francis in 2020, <strong>he went much further and prohibited&nbsp;<em>ad orientem</em>&nbsp;in the Novus Ordo form of the Mass as well</strong>.<br /><br />In April, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/DrKwasniewski/status/1912533864381063294">called</a>&nbsp;the changes &ldquo;<em>by far the bloodiest reduction I am aware of since TC came into force almost four years ago.&rdquo;</em> And upon their implementation he has&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/DrKwasniewski/status/1933627295022841997">noted</a>&nbsp;that the affected parishes were &ldquo;powerhouses&rdquo; sustained by thriving traditional communities and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/DrKwasniewski/status/1933627295022841997">warned</a>&nbsp;that <em><strong><font size="5">the closures would cause &ldquo;long-term damage to parishes.&rdquo;</font></strong></em><br /><br />Soooo, this is just one diocese of many in the US and in the world which are going to sustain tremendous reductions in parishes and priests. Notice that in the interview Archbishop Wiesenberger uses such twisted language to make this look like a good thing when it is almost a complete obliteration of the life of the Detroit Catholic Community. How many parishes will be in Detroit in 5-10 years time? Hopefully, God will intervene before that time comes.... chastisement maybe for us all???<br /><br />I know my children's generation have fallen away from the Church in a huge way since COVID. There is not only a lack of priests but no parishioners that want the Sacraments. In the interview with Archbishop Wiesenberger, he talks about Catholics turning to the internet instead of going to Mass for "community". WHAT! He was one of the VERY guilty ones telling Catholics to STAY HOME during COVID and not go to Mass. We better pray for this man's soul and all those guilty of destroying the little faith that was in Catholics before COVID. My own children except one have not gone back to Mass since the COVID restrictions. I know that can not be the only reason for them to stay away.....I am saddened that they are now secular humanists who got college degrees and now look at believing in any religion as ridiculous. I pray for this generation that have witnessed SO MANY SCANDALS and SO MANY PROMOTED HERESIES OUT OF ROME ITSELF!<br /><br />I am not a regular on "Novus Ordo Watch" website but here is a link to information of a very amazing hero during the Vatican II Council....Msgr. Joseph Fenton.&nbsp;<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)">Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton was a priest of the diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts, ordained in 1930.

In 1931, he received his doctorate degree in Sacred Theology from the Angelicum in Rome. His dissertation was written under the direction of Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. (d. 1964) and was published in expanded form ten years later as&nbsp;</span><em style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006APENM/interregnumnow-20" target="_blank">The Concept of Sacred Theology</a></em><span style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)">&nbsp;(Bruce Publishing).<br /><br />&#8203;Of greatest interest to most, of course, will be what Fenton wrote about his struggles against the Modernists during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, when a lot of errors were being fought that later resurfaced at Vatican II, and about the council itself and the theological discussions that took place behind the scenes. Fenton had a direct connection with Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani at the Vatican, which gave him much more influence than other theologians had, and also more inside information.<br /><br />One example of a diary quote from the below link is.............<br /></span><ul style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)"><li><em><strong>&ldquo;The sense or feeling of this gathering seems to be entirely liberal. I am anxious to get home. I am&nbsp;afraid that there is nothing at all that I can do here. Being in the council is, of course, the great experience of my life. But, at the same time, it has been a frightful disappointment. I never thought that the episcopate was so liberal.&nbsp;<font size="5"><u>This is going to mark the end of the Catholic religion as we have known it.</u> There will be vernacular Masses, and, worse still, there will be some wretched theology in the constitutions.</font>&rdquo; (Oct. 31, 1962)</strong></em></li></ul><span style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)"><br />Msgr. Joseph Fenton died of a heart attack in his sleep on July 7, 1969, less than 5 months before Paul VI&rsquo;s imposition of the&nbsp;</span><em style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)">Novus Ordo Missae</em><span style="color:rgb(58, 58, 58)">&nbsp;as the liturgical norm in the Latin rite. The last diary entry is dated March 27, 1969. His death reminds me of the sudden death of Pope St. Pius X when it was revealed to him theat WWI had just started.....he too died of a broken heart! May he rest in peace.<br /><br />Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!<br />Msgr. Fenton, pray for us!<br />&#8203;All ye holy priests of Heaven, pray for us!</span></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://novusordowatch.org/2014/08/diaries-mgr-joseph-clifford-fenton/" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Msgr.

I hate to address this topic but it looks like there will be an escalated war from the demands of our US President. By the end of this day, we could be at the start of a full blown WW3. There is much talk of it and it is hard to prepare because most people who lived through WW2 are gone from us or very elderly. We are definitely in worse shape as a world than the world before WW2. We have many that have apostasized from the True Faith including our Church Leaders and we have far less family farms to depend on for survival. Hopefully, victory gardens WILL BE ALLOWED like they were in WW2. But more importantly, we need to be a people of prayer and faith! My own children are clinging to this world of technology and the neglect of prayer has caused a turning away from God. I am united to Our Sorrowful Mother in tears and prayers over their souls!&nbsp;<br /><br />Many of us are aware of the Briton Stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenny who is only recognized as a victim soul by the Church. Too much doom and gloom for our current Vatican to give her any attention....sad to say! She has been given many prophesies that have already unfolded and continue to unfold. There is a link below showing a four year war that ends with the Three Days of Darkness. It seems that communism has a play in it which we see in all of our surveillance governments, she talks of an invasion from Middle East to Europe beginning with Rome. She talks of it lasting about four years with it ending with the Three Days of Darkness. We keep hearing 2030 as the great reset year. I hope and pray it is the great reset for God.<br /><br />The linked video is very short but to the point and stresses that NOW MORE THAN EVER do we need to be faithful. We all want to be protected from what is to come and according to our conscience and the words of Marie Julie Jahenny; we need to be faithful - faithful to God and Our Lady in what they ask of us....prayer, obedience to the laws of God, sacrifice and fasting for a means of strength and reparation.<br /><br />I will mention here the gift of the Purple Scapular along with the request to remain God's faithful remnant. Included is another short video on this by Fr. Ripperger.<br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">Regarding the Purple Scapular, the Mother of God and her son Jesus gave the Purple Scapular to the Catholic mystic,&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.catholicity.com/scapulars/marie-julie-jahenny-FAQ.html">Marie-Julie Jahenny</a><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">, to protect your family from the worst possible natural disasters and supernatural dangers. Jahenny foretold (along with other Catholic visionaries) that a worldwide "judgment-in-miniature" known as&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.catholicity.com/books/thewarning.html">the Warning</a><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">&nbsp;is coming to the entire world, followed by&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.catholicity.com/cds/apparitions.html">great chastisements</a><span style="color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">.</span><br /><br />Our Lady urged all of us to prominently display this "unknown" Purple Scapular&nbsp;<em>on a wall in our homes</em>. Those who do this "will see their family and home protected... from fires, chastisements, storms, and darkness. They will have light as if it were as plain as day."<br /><br />She said it is "like a lightning rod beneath which the blows of divine wrath will not strike." Even intruders bent on harm will be struck down.<br /><br />Below is also a link to obtain your Purple Scapular. This link contains another video of detailed explanation and the prayers to be prayed. It would be great if you could obtain one for your home and those of your loved ones....but as Fr. Ripperger states....one needs to remain faithful and be a child of prayer for its protection.<br /><br />May we pray to Our Lady, Queen of Peace as we enter into this time of chastisement and purification. May She pray for all of Her children to remain faithful and to help bring many many souls to the Heart of Jesus beginning with our own loved ones who have been deceived and have gone astray.<br /><br />&#8203;Blessed Easter Tuesday!</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra3uAKXMlkg" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Marie Julie Jahenny Prophesy for Our Times</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div style="text-align:center;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-large wsite-button-normal" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzn13A15Y9g&t=23s" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Fr.
