 Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
We are in the fourth day of our Novena to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I have included an image of the vision of hell because on July 13, 1917....Our Lady showed the children Hell....which proves it is a true reality. Today, I wish to talk about a threat of Communism that seems to surpass the evils of communism experienced so far in all of history which was referenced in the interview of Sr. Lucia by Professor Walsh in 1946 and Fr. Fuentes in 1957. On July 15, 1946, Catholic historian and author William Thomas Walsh conducted a landmark three-hour interview with Sister Lucia, the last surviving visionary of Fatima, at her convent in Vilar, Portugal. This historic conversation was subsequently published in his 1947 book, Our Lady of Fatima. The interview covered critical aspects of the Fatima apparitions, most notably the conditions required for world peace. The key takeaways from the discussion include:
In her famous 1957 interview with Fr. Agustín Fuentes, Sister Lucia warned that without prayer and penance, the errors of Russia—meaning Communism—would spread and overtake every country without exception, causing severe persecution of the Church, the Pope, and loss of faith worldwide. She outlined how the spread of Communism would unfold and affect the world:
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, protect us as we wear the Brown Scapular! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!

 Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
I wanted to share with you through the month of July during this 775 year anniversary of the Brown Scapular, writings from the Carmelite friars in the year 1949 in preparation for the 700 year anniversary of the Brown Scapular. Since we have so many Carmelite friars today who are on the fence or worse about the laity wearing the Brown Scapular.... I felt it would be advantageous to pull these talks out from the past when faith was real and firm. The below quote from the book, "Take This Scapular" is titled Our Lady of Fatima and Carmel written by Fr. Ronald F. Gray, O Carm (pages 163-167) I will not write it in its entirety but give some points of encouragement for us who try to live the Carmelite way of life, prayer, penance and reparation while living the message of Fatima. Here are his words.... "The rule of the Carmelite Third Order in its insistence on penance and mortification is a vivid, a clear and unmistakable response to Mary's most important request at Fatima. Though it is possible to pray the rosary and practice mortification in every state of life, it is by membership in the Third Order of Carmel that we can fulfill perfectly the request to dedicate ourselves and the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The individual can in no more perfect way than by profession in the Third Order openly proclaim to the world and to Mary his or her complete surrender to the ideals and virtues of the Queen of Heaven. The life of the Carmelite Tertiary is entwined with the rosary. In many instances the recitation of the rosary, imposed by force of the Third Order rule, (Old Rule) is so cherished by the Tertiary that for him a Rosary-less hour is an incomplete hour. Rosary upon rosary is the Carmelite Tertiary's answer to Mary's plea for the daily rosary. To consecrate means to dedicate, to surrender, completely. Nobody is more totally and exclusively dedicated to Mary than the members of the Carmelite Order, an Order known and recognized throughout its history as Mary's own Order. Third Order members have completely surrendered themselves by their profession in the Third Order to the aims, ideals, and aspirations of the Carmelite Order, which are to exemplify in the lives of each member the Order's total dedication to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. If the "why" of Fatima is the urgency of a late hour, then the "how" of Fatima is membership in the Carmelite Third Order. By her three famous requests at Fatima, Our Lady could not have more openly endorsed her Third Order of Carmel. "If my requests are heard....Russia will be converted...and there will be peace!" There is hope for the peace of heart and mind desired by all men. You have answered the call of Fatima. By your complete dedication to Mary in Carmel's Third Order you could not have come closer to the Heart of God!" Every chapter in this book is amazing....very Catholic! There is no mention of the Brown Scapular in his address but it is understood that consecration (which is mentioned above) is indeed when we are enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and indicates our consecration to Her Immaculate Heart. Also, Sr. Lucia mentioned that the rosary and the scapular are inseparable. I would like to make a special request......to ask for your prayers for the repose of the soul of a Carmelite friar who when visiting the various Third Order Communities under his charge would tell them that the rosary was not Carmelite and that we were NOT to pray it publicly together...ALSO.....NOT to promote enrollment in the small Brown Scapular amongst the laity.... I personally witnessed both of these requests of him...and was actually one of the inspirations for me to start this website..... his name to pray for is...... Rev. John W. Grennon,O.C.D.August 31, 1946 ~ June 29, 2019 (age 72) Our Lady of the Mt. Carmel and Fatima, pray for us to wear Your Brown Scapular and pray Your Rosary.....and to help promote these devotions! Below is a bonus video of prophecies of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich that you may want to see....it is only an eight minute video. God bless! Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Today starts the Novena to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Time is flying by and so much has happened in the Church and in the world. Let us see what God has in store for us for the remainder of the year! The Novena starts July 7 thru July 15 for the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16th. Below you will find the Novena to follow. Also, I have included a link for the history of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I will try to post more on Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Her Scapular from the book, Take This Scapular. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Fatima, pray for us! Time to Get Ready for the 775 Year Anniversary of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel7/3/2026  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Today is First Saturday and the 250 years of the Independence of the United States. I pray it will be a safe and happy time for those in this country. Please pray for all those suffering from storms, tornadoes, drought and wildfires that are out of control. Looks like "climate change" is at full force this summer. (It is climate change but not sure who is truly behind it all....God is allowing it though and that is why we accept.) I am not sure what the Carmelite Orders around the world are doing for the 775 year anniversary but at least we should be aware and try to share Our Lady's Garment with as many as we possibly can. I wish there were more Catholic Bishops that we could ask to help promote this devotion in his parishes. Not even the Carmelite Friars would do that. Times have modernized so much that one looks at this devotion with skepticism today. May we not be ranked among them. Our Lady came as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on Oct 13, 1917 to the three children during the miracle of the sun. Sr. Lucia stated that the Rosary and the Scapular are inseparable....therefore we should promote both to the world. I will try to post more this month on the Scapular for this great anniversary from the book...."Take This Scapular" which was written by the O Carm Friars to help prepare the Third Order to help distribute and promote devotion for the 700 year anniversary.....so we will repeat many of the addresses made by the friars from 75 years ago since we no longer have friars with this heart today....sad to say! Below are some links to help you order affordable scapulars and to print brochures for distribution.....please share! May Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....
Blessed First Friday! There is so much to make reparation for today. I use to live in the Detroit Diocese where now there is a newly installed, as of March, 2025. a new Archbishop...Archbishop Weisenberger, one of the bishops who fully bought into the Covid restrictions while he was in Arizona and implemented many of the strictest restrictions in the nation. Now in Detroit, the first thing he did was STOP all TLM's outside of ICKSP at the St. Joseph Shrine....(we all sense that with the strong aversion to Tradition and the Latin Mass which Rome has....that these Ecclesia Dei groups will be last in losing the freedom to offer the Latin Mass....it will be a matter of time). NOW, Archbishop Weisenberger is working on closing MANY parishes of the 219 churches that remain. About 90 are chosen to close...early next year he will annouce these closings after many parish meetings held this year in order for it to look like it was a mutual well thought out decision......Is this the Vatican II Springtime or a Freemasonic wrecking ball at work? Below is a link of how Catholic Archbishop Weisenberger is and what kind of State of Emergency we have. Remember, this is the Archbishop who will NOT tolerate the traditional Latin Mass but will embrace heretics. This would be an action (as well as many others we see) for excommunication at one point in Church history....but not today....only those who want Tradition and the Mass of All Ages need to be excommunicated! This should be a clue to all of us that to be excommunicated today is a declaration that you are not excommunicated from being Catholic ....BUT ..... you are excommunicated from the New World Religion! "Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter." Isaiah 5:20 Also, Michael Matt gives us a Catholic outlook on the state of the Church since the consecrations of new bishops with the SSPX in the below link. Tomorrow is First Saturday and our nations Independence Day....250 years. I will post info on the 775 year anniversary of the Brown Scapular July 16th with info on how to obtain Scapulars at an affordable rate to share with a WILLING pastor in enrolling more souls in the Brown Scapular. God bless your First Friday and please continue the Fatima Reparation Prayers! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Well, tomorrow is the big day....actually hours away considering the time differences. Are we in the STATE OF EMERGENCY? Do I need to list it all to bring all the emergencies to light? There were times that I was watching (and all the world as well) Papa Bergoglio actually DESTROYING the Catholic Church. This is and was a great temptation to all of us to weaken....to weaken in our prayers....our reparation....our respect and love for Holy Mother Church...BUT THAT IS NOT GOD'S WILL FOR US ..We are called to be strong....may we be like St. Joan of Arc and watch soldiers falling off their horses in death during the battles BUT STILL marching forward knowing that in the end....GOD TRIUMPHS against the enemy! I do thank God for giving us Archbishop Lefebvre....he died on Marh 25th, 1991. This is the feast day of the Annunciation...a great sign from God that he has blessed him...and I am waiting for the day when his body is exhumed for claiming him a saint of the Roman Catholic Church....and finding his body incorrupt. He suffered for Christ's Church and stood by Tradition and Faith in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Without him......we would not have had a single TLM to go to in this new Synodal Church since the New Mass replaced The Mass in the 1960's. I also thank God for these consecrations of these new bishops tomorrow so that the good works that they have been doing will continue. SSPX are the only foreign missionaries we have left in the world because Vatican II says we are not to share the Catholic Faith anymore. Below is a link from Rorate Caeli site on the letter issued to SSPX from Pope Leo....it is sad and I beg all those who frequent this site to make reparation reparation and more reparation for the crimes committed against the Heart of Jesus and His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. This is not a time to abandon Rome.....and SSPX has not and will not do that....they are Catholic....they feel the suffering Heart of their Savior in all of this and will not abandon HIM....and SSPX has and still prays for the Pope....I would say MORE THAN ANY NOVUS ORDO PARISH IN THE WORLD!!! Please view the links below to get some clarity....PRAY....PRAY to Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces! May God's Will Be Done Now and Forever! Blessed and Praised be Our Savior and King....Jesus Christ! May we take up our cross and follow HIM! Quote of St. Pius X...."Modernism is the synthesis of ALL HERESIES!" (We see it!)  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen. Here are some insightful talks on Fatherhood ....May we pray for all of them. Good St. Joseph....pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus feast day is tomorrow. May we always beg Him for the graces which He has in His Infinite Flaming Heart -burning with Love for all of mankind. He has the graces to make all of us saints - we just have to be open to it and truly want it. Let us not die in spiritual infancy - let us die as saints knowing we are always ready to die and defend Our King in this cold world of indifference and contempt. Let us love Him in return for so great a Love - This is His Will for all us - let us not disappoint Him. Let us come to Him with great confidence and surrender to His Divine Power and Love. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - May Thy Kingdom Come through the prayers and intercession of our dearest Mother and Queen! Grant that I may love you always and then do with me as You Will! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus we adore Thee, we thank Thee, we love Thee - now and forever! ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS I (N.), give and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person, my life, my actions, my pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being save to honor, love, and glorify the Sacred Heart. It is my unchanging intention to be all His and to do all for love of Him. I renounce at the same time with all my heart whatever can displease Him. I, therefore, take You, O Sacred Heart, for the only object of my love, the protector of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for the faults of my life, and the secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the punishment of His just anger. O Heart of love, I put my confidence in You, because I fear everything from my own sinfulness and weakness. I hope for all things from Your mercy and generosity. Destroy in me all that can displease or resist Your holy Will. Let Your pure love impress You so deeply upon my heart that I may never forget You or be separated from You. May my name, by your loving kindness, be written In You, because in You I desire to place all my happiness and all my glory in living and dying in very bondage to you.  "Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Today is First Friday, a day of Reparation to the Heart of Jesus, in the Octave of Corpus Christi. Posted today by "OnePeterFive" is an interview with Bishop Athanasius Schneider about Jesus truly present in the Eucharist and how we are all called to make Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for all the crimes committed against Him. Mention was made of Fatima, which is what this website is all about......Reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary through the Eucharistic Reparation Prayers taught at Fatima.... Bishop Schneider has written a book on Eucharistic Reparation that is newly published by Sophia Institute Press. They are offering a Father's Day discount which is FD2026 (code at checkout) if you want to purchase this book this month. Here is the interview that is worth viewing for all Catholics this June..... Also....worth considering is the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart. Now more than ever do we need our homes Enthroned to the Most Sacred Heart. There is so much going on in the world and in the Church that is threatening our families. Below is a site that has pamphlets to describe the Enthronement and also the Ceremony Prayers (click on link at top of info page of Enthronement to take you to the Ceremony page). I pray for all to have a holy Octave of Corpus Christi, to think about the Enthronement if it has not been done (or a renewal). I pray you will consider the book and prayers of Reparation to the Heart of Jesus as well as frequent the page on my site that has the Fatima Reparation prayers.....taught in 1917 and practiced by the Fatima children.
We see so much evil in the world and at times feel overwhelmed.....may we feel moved to do something with the knowledge that God has given us the means to make Reparation for all these crimes. May we comfort the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, pray for us! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Happy Feast day of Love! Today we celebrate the great gift of Jesus Himself....Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity present in the Most Holy Eucharist. As Catholics, we should be shouting this feast from the rooftops! Are we truly grateful to God for such a gift of Himself? May we choose to make reparation for this ingratitude and all the sins committed against Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist! Yesterday, June 3th started the Novena to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (below). This is one of the most powerful means of reparation we can make for the sins committed against His Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist and at the same time is toward the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is very sad that these sins are happening but at least we have a means to make reparation as best we can for these sins which are.....but not exclusively......receiving and distributing Jesus with indifference and not love, people receiving in mortal sin, politicians promoting abortion, receiving in the hand, distributed by the unconsecrated, priests who are in grave mortal sin, Black Masses, desecration of the Host in many many ways over the centuries. It was to a Visitation nun named St. Margaret Mary who was given the devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and also the request to make a Holy Hour each Thursday night in reparation for all the ingratitude and sins of the world. Thursday is the day chosen by Christ to give us the gift of Himself in the Most Holy Eucharist and also the ministerial priesthood (His victim souls for the Church), These are so related to each other. The Holy Eucharist and the Most Sacred Heart are one and the same. The act of devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of love and atonement. The love of Jesus is dishonored by the ingratitude of men, as He Himself declared in the third great apparition to St. Margaret Mary: “Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love. In return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrileges, and by the coldness and contempt they have for me in this Sacrament of Love.” Then He asked her to atone for these acts of ingratitude by the ardor of her own love: “My daughter, I come into the heart I have given you in order that through your fervor you may atone for the offenses which I have received from lukewarm and slothful hearts which dishonor me in the Blessed Sacrament.” This Novena to the most Sacred Heart is very powerful. This feast always falls within the Octave of Corpus Christi and therefore falls on a different calendar day each year. The relation of the Sacred Heart and Corpus Christi are one and the same. Therefore, Jesus specifically asked that this feast of the Sacred Heart be placed where it is to St. Margaret Mary in order to show mankind that the love He bears for mankind is found in the Real Presence of the Eucharist. This is very beautiful and should increase our love for the Sacred Heart and for Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist. May we increase our Holy Hours especially on Thursday nights if possible. May we participate in this Novena to the Sacred Heart and spread the devotion of the Most Sacred Heart with this Novena, our Holy Hours of Reparation, our participation in the 9 First Fridays, as well as wearing Sacred Heart Badge if possible. May Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us to draw closer to Her Son's Most Sacred Heart with intense fervor and love! |
