Hello Everyone: Tomorrow will be Trinity Sunday. It is important to know that the prayers taught to the children address the Blessed Trinity. These Reparation Prayers are needed today more than ever. When the Angel came to the children of Fatima, the Angel’s first words to the three children in Spring 1916 were: “Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.” He then taught them the following prayer: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you.” While the children were playing at the well in Lucia’s parents garden during the summer of 1916, the Angel came a second time. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Pray, pray very much! The most holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices constantly to the Most High.” Lucia then asked how they were to make sacrifices. “Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners. You will thus draw down peace upon your country. I am its Angel Guardian, the Angel of Portugal. Above all, accept and bear with submission, the suffering which the Lord will send you.” On the third visit of the Angel in Autumn 1916, he was holding a chalice in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the Chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down beside the children and made them repeat three times the following prayer: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of you the conversion of poor sinners.” Then, rising, he took the Chalice and the Host in his hands. He gave the Sacred Host to Lucia, and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did “Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.” That prayer to the Most Holy Trinity is certainly very beautiful and powerful. We could say now that it would seem to have been taught for our times, when the tabernacles in many churches are surrounded today by emptiness and indifference and many carry on as if Jesus were not present with all the chatter taking place in front of the tabernacle. The Angel teaches us through the three children to be attentive to the Real Presence and to make reparation for those who do not, so that we too can live a life of faith, hope and love. We observe many communions received with no regard for confession and one wonders how many sacrileges are perpetrated by receiving Jesus with mortal sin on one's soul! How great this wound which has surely contaminated the whole Church and paralyses it, halts it, and makes it impure and so very sick! Over one hundred years since the Angel's visit to Fatima, humanity in 2018 is mounting a greater denial and rebellion against God. The tolerance of Catholics to disobey the Ten Commandments and choosing to sin is driving many Catholics away from the church including some religious. The Sacrament of Confession and the neglect of family prayer (The family Rosary) are replaced for the quest for pleasures. Social Media has now replaced the Family Rosary for most Catholic countries. The pride of the social media, influenced and run by the enemy, gloat about their successful relentless campaign to create the environment for mortal sin to flourish under the so called ‘new freedoms and rights’ such as divorce, abortion and homosexuality, made into law around the world. These are the tenets of communism. The infiltration of the Church spoken of in the Talks section of this website for this weekend speaks of who this enemy is and how Our Lady warned us. Below are its tenets. May we pray our Rosary and pray these prayers of Reparation and ask Our Lady to protect our Faith, Our Families, Our Country. May She crush the head of the serpent and may Her Immaculate Heart Reign and Triumph so that Jesus may Reign in the hearts of all of mankind.

Hello Everyone:
This is a beautiful topic. I have to first say that it is in the writings of St. Maximillian Kolbe that I first understood to a greater extent Mary as the Spouse of the Holy Ghost. He writes so beautifully on this. In a quick sentence, he states that when we call upon Mary – it is never without the Holy Ghost because they cannot be separated. This is so beautiful because God is contained within Mary. Mary is the vessel that brings us God. This helps us to understand Her as the Mediatrix of all Graces. It was above all at the Incarnation of the Son of God that Mary became the true Spouse of the Holy Ghost for She conceived the Eternal Word in the power of the Holy Ghost. Through Mary, with Mary, and in Mary, the Holy Ghost brought forth the God-man, and in like manner, He brings forth, every day, to the End of Time, the elect children of God. St. Louis deMontfort says, “The Holy Ghost imparted to Mary His immeasurable gifts, and has made Her the dispenser of all His Graces, so that She distributes His gifts and graces to whom She wills, as much as She wills, and how and where She wills. No grace is given by Heaven to man except through her virginal hands.” St. Bernard and St. Alphonsus and many other theologians hold the same opinion. Mary was present with the Apostles at Pentecost and prayed with them during the nine day Novena preceding this great day of grace. It was chiefly due to Her prayers and ardent desires that the Holy Ghost came down with such treasures of grace. Through Mary we must seek grace, for She is the Spouse of the Holy Ghost and all graces are dispensed through Her hands. Since God is Love - let our prayer be: Mary teach me to love with Your love – let me love with Your Heart! Her passions, her thoughts, her actions will be placed into the hearts of her children. We should endeavor to have no thoughts and desires but the thoughts and desires of Mary. This desire is not wrong since Mary’s desires are always the desires of God – Her will is perfectly united to God’s. It should be the desire of every child of Mary to look forward to when their soul is really and truly united to God so strongly that He will be able to make use of it as He wills, knowing that there will be no obstacle put in the way of the working of His Holy Ghost. We must strive to constantly keep watch over our hearts and to keep them pure and our souls empty of everything that is not of God. We must be vigilant in asking Mary to keep us humble. She will teach us that every grace given to us by God through Her should be faithfully attributed to God alone. God will then be able to use us for His greater glory knowing that He can trust that the work will be done in union with the Heart of Mary since that soul has been molded by Her. How happy we will be once we are founded in truth seeing the things of God by the light given to us by the Holy Ghost through the prayers and intercession of Our Mother Mary. This is the greatest effect of the Total Consecration. St. Louis de Montfort states that Mary’s faithful servant who advances not to the first, second or third step alone, but who makes this devotion their habitual state are souls given graces so great that these graces may be in some sense compared even to those enjoyed by our first parents in their state of innocence. This happy state is not gained without conflict, without struggle, without great molestations from the evil one. However, those who place themselves into the hands of Mary are placed securely and are protected so strongly from any assaults as long as we have recourse to Her – She will crush Satan’s head. May we seek the Spouse of the Holy Ghost, Mary, in order to be united to God in the most perfect and secure way. Mary, Spouse of the Holy Ghost, pray for us! Hello Everyone: Today is the Feast of St. Simon Stock for Carmelites - or is it? In the post-Vatican revision of the liturgical calendar, the memory of Simon Stock -- which was earlier celebrated with explicit mention of the vision -- was totally suppressed. However, in 1979, a Spanish Carmelite monk fought to put it back and once again the Carmelites were permitted an optional memory on condition that no mention be made of the “ problematic scapular vision.” BUT ----- the Fatima children claim Our Lady of Mt. Carmel appeared to them and had the Brown Scapular in her hands along with a Rosary on October 13, 1917 during the visions after the miracle of the sun. And what about the 750 years of miracles! The problem lies with the fact that since the 1200's the libraries had suffered fires and damage and there is nothing but what was passed on to the neighboring European countries about this astounding Brown Scapular and Our Lady's Promise. Consequently, the enemies of the Church (which are alive and well today but sadly within the Carmelite Order itself) are trying desperately to discredit the Scapular and keep it from the use that was popularly known and experienced among Catholics. Sadly, many do not know about the Scapular now. Many priests are no longer enrolling their parishioners and parents do not give it attention. It is a means of help for us from Our Lady. By wearing it, She is given the permission to pray for us in need. Yes, the condition for help has always been petition. By wearing the Scapular it is a way to say - "Holy Mother Mary, pray for me always as I wear this." That is where the power lies - in Her prayers for us. Please refer to link on this website for more information about the Brown Scapular which Our Lady gave to St. Simon Stock. Hello Everyone:
Sorry this image is so big - but today is a big day! It is both a day to celebrate Our Lady and Her intense love for us and also a day to mourn the enemies attack on this message of love which unfortunately has come from within the Church Herself! The Fatima message is a treasure from Heaven given with great love to the Church by the Mother of the Church in 1917. It is not the property of a single group within the Church. It has been certified by the Church as being in perfect harmony with the Gospel. The movement to crush communism and all its errors must come from the bosom of the Church and it must be led by Our Lady who is appointed by God to crush the power of the demon. The Fatima crusade is to be then a conquering army. Our Lady intended the urgent appeal to be addressed to all Catholics without exception and especially to the priests and religious to help lead the people in this great battle against the enemy. (The public miracle of the sun - proves this!) We must find in our own conscience the strength to be generous, to obey the impulse to do something noble, something worthwhile with this fleeting life. Soon, we will all be standing before our Judge and Lord. As Our Lady had foretold, error did spread and is still spreading from Soviet Russia. The second world war has taken place. The Church has been persecuted as never before in history, and the good have been martyred in millions. The final series of the prophecies has still to be fulfilled, namely the suffering of the Holy Father, the annihilation of various nations, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the conversion of Russia to Christianity and the promised age of peace. The Fatima message is not to be buried. We can still do as Our Lady has asked. We can start with our own consecration and commitment to saying the daily Rosary and wearing the Brown Scapular and getting more to do the same. We can pray the prayers of Reparation taught to the children for the sins committed daily against the Blessed Sacrament and to help mitigate the loss of souls to Hell for all eternity. This duty alone should make us feel useful to God. Pope Benedict XV in April, 1918, in a letter to the Portuguese Bishops, referred to the occurrences at Fatima as, “an extraordinary aid from the Mother of God.” We have the miracle of the sun, October 13, 1917 and the incorrupt body of Jacinta (maybe Lucia when she is exhumed). Our good God has given us proof that we need to listen to our Mother and do all that we can to obey Her. The power to change this sinful world lies in God’s grace and mercy. May we seek to ask our dear Mother Mary to intercede for us and beg God’s mercy through our prayers and obedience to this Message of Love from a dear Mother for Her wayward children. May we pray for the Church to have militant Prelates, priests and laity who will come forward for Our Lady and demand that this message be obeyed. Since Vatican II and its message of tolerance to the enemies of the Church, we are falsely led to believe that there is NO SPIRITUAL COMBAT between Christ's Church and the world. For too long have these men been allowed to pursue and promote their false vision of a Church reconciled to the world rather than a world reconciled to the Church of Jesus Christ. For too long have these men yoked the Church to the utopian notion of world peace among men of all religions or no religion at all, rather than the true peace that can only come when the souls of men are conquered by the grace of CHRIST THE KING, which He deigns to mediate to men through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and through the Holy Roman Catholic Church - the true Holy Roman Catholic Church!! MAY THIS BE OUR PRAYER TODAY TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN!! WE PRAY THAT SHE MAY INSPIRE AND SEND US GOOD AND HOLY PRELATES AND PRIESTS TO PROMOTE THE FATIMA MESSAGE! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. Hello Everyone: This website is for Our Lady of Fatima and Her message and for all those who wish to fulfill her requests by practicing true Carmelite Spiritualiy. This message has been greatly ignore for many reasons but mainly - for the reason of ignorance and for the reason of malice. The Freemason who were at Fatima Portugal at the time of the apparitions actually had to witness the miracle of the sun. For those who were stubborn - it mattered little. They were the ones who infiltrated the Catholic Church to suppress the Truth from the people - one of those truths was Fatima. The message is very relevant for us today. We can truly benefit from all that was revealed and therefore; the enemy that is now in Rome, wishes to keep it silent. Below is a link to the Fatima Crusader. It is a talk that was done in the year 2004 but it contains so much knowledge for us today. It was given almost 15 years ago but it is more relevant today because we are nearer its fulfillment. Please take time to read it - it is filled with truth. God bless! Hello Everyone: Since this is the month of Our Lady, this piece of history is worth telling because we are in desperate need of another saint such as St. Pius V who truly knows that Our Lady can crush the head of the serpent with the use of her mighty weapon – The Rosary. Of course, we know that it is only by the power of God that these miracles can be achieved. Mary on Her own can do nothing without God – She is filled with God’s grace and has been appointed the humble handmaid to crush prideful Satan and his cohorts. When Saint Pius V was Pope in 1566, Christendom faced extreme peril. The Huguenots had been waging a particularly violent war in France since 1562; the Spanish Netherlands exploded in revolt later in the year; England, having gone from schism to heresy, was openly assisting all the anti-Catholic forces; but the greatest danger came from the Muslim aggression throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. After the defense of Malta, the powerful Ottoman fleet continued to raid Christian lands. Ali Pasha, commander of the naval forces in Malta, captured Chios, the last Genoese position in the Eastern Mediterranean and murdered the ruling Giustiniani family. For three days, the Mohammedans roved over the island, massacred all the inhabitants and destroyed everything Catholic. Two boys in the Giustiniani family, aged ten and twelve, were martyred. The younger boy, almost cut to pieces, was told to hold up one finger if he wished to apostatize and live. He clenched his fists so tight that they could not be opened even after death. Saint Pius V increasingly asked for more prayers from pious Catholics, especially from the monks and nuns in their cloisters. A devotion to which he gave special attention was the Rosary, so much so that he was called the “Pope of the Rosary.” In fact, the great saint secured the uniformity of recitation of the Hail Mary through a Papal Bull published in 1568. Prostrated on the cold stones before a crucifix and with deep groans, the holy Pope appealed to God for guidance. The Pope then went into the chapel to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. When he reached the Gospel of Saint John, he began to read, “Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomem erat Joannes!” (“There was a man from God whose name was John!”).Turning his face toward the Virgin, he paused and realized that the commander of the crusade was to be Don Juan of Austria. In the middle of September, the largest Christian fleet ever assembled sailed out from Messina in Sicily to seek out and destroy the Muslim fleet commanded by the Sultan’s brother-in-law, Ali Pasha. Saint Pius V granted all members of the expedition the indulgences of crusaders. Not one of the 81,000 soldiers and sailors had failed to confess and receive Holy Communion. They prayed the Rosary and brought a statue of Our Lady as a means of begging for Her intercession. The Holy League had achieved an overwhelming victory in the largest sea battle fought up to that time, The Battle of Lepanto. Miraculously, the Ottoman Empire lost about 240 galleys and saw 30,000 killed. The League suffered a trifling 12 galleys sunk; 7,600 men were killed. At the time the battle was won, Saint Pius V was studying financial sheets with the papal treasurer. He rose, went to the window and looked toward the east. When he turned around his face was radiant with supernatural joy, and he exclaimed, “The Christian fleet is victorious!” After human agencies verified the news two weeks later, Saint Pius V added the Feast of the Holy Rosary to the Church calendar and the invocation Auxilium Christianorum (Help of Christians) to the litany of Our Lady, since the victory was due to Her intercession! We are in great peril today with the loss of Faith, the Great Apostasy, abortion, homosexuality, fallen away clergy and laity. WE NEED OUR LADY! WE NEED THE ROSARY! We also need the Consecration of Russia as Our Lady of Fatima has asked. May we all be diligent in praying our Rosary and asking her for the gifts of healing and peace. May we pray for the Immaculate Heart of Mary to Triumph so that Jesus may reign in the hearts of all men. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary and of Fatima - pray for us!! |
