![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Blessed Feast day of St. Mary Magdalene. May we ask for her intercession during these trying days on earth. I am posting this article today because there are reports that Sr. Sasagawa is dying and is in need of our prayers as she parts to her reward. Michael Matt from The Remnant just posted a vintage video of Michael Davies explaining what happened during the Second Vatican Council. Here we are some 60 plus years later and we can see that the Freemasons have hijacked the Council. He does a great job of explaining the important points of it. (Link Below) This video is important for this article on Akita which followed Fatima in their dire warnings which Our Blessed Mother gave to us. It helps us to understand now why they have all been ignored. The infiltrated Rome has silenced Our Blessed Mother. Below is a video of an interview done by Father Elias Mary of the Franciscan of the Immaculata regarding the coverup of the apparitions at Akita in the 1970's regarding a chastisement by fire because of the apostasy in the Church and a lack of repentance and reparation of the people of the Church and the world. In Akita, Japan, on Saturday, Oct. 13, 1973 — the anniversary of Fatima’s Miracle of the Sun — Our Blessed Mother gave a dire warning for the world. In part, she said: "My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. … As l told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead." She also told her the following........ "The only arms that will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confrères … churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord." AKITA EUCHARIST PRAYER (To be added on this website to our daily prayers) Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist, I consecrate my body and soul to be entirely one with Your heart, being sacrificed at every instant on all the altars of the world and giving praise to the Father pleading for the coming of His Kingdom. Please receive this humble offering of myself. Use me as You will for the glory of the Father and salvation of souls. Most Holy Mother of God, never let me be separated from Your Divine Son. Please defend and protect me as Your special child. Amen. Like Fatima, we are called to a Consecration to Her Immaculate Heart by wearing the Brown Scapular and praying our Rosary during these very trying days in the world and in the Church. At Fatima, Eucharistic Adoration and belief in the Real Presence were stressed in the reparation prayers. Therefore, we need to go to as many Tridentine Masses as we can to offer reparation as well as the prayers taught. Promote wearing the Brown Scapular and teach others the prayers of the Rosary. Now is the time to be diligent in answering the requests of our good Mother and Queen. Below are the videos.....you may need to listen to them more than once because there is so much to understand and pray about. May Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us!

![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary: St. Elijah is an important Feast in Carmel, July 20th – a Prophet used by God to steer people clear of false gods. How we need this Prophet today! Elijah stood up boldly for God in a time when idolatry had swept his land. In fact, his name means "My God is Yah(weh)." The false god Elijah opposed was Baal, the favorite deity of Jezebel, wife of King Ahab of Israel. To please Jezebel, Ahab had altars erected to Baal, and the queen murdered God's prophets. Elijah appeared before King Ahab to announce God's curse: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word." (1 Kings 17:1) Then Elijah fled to the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan River, where ravens brought him bread and meat. When the brook dried up, God sent Elijah to live with a widow in Zarephath. God performed another miracle there, blessing the woman's oil and flour so it did not run out. Unexpectedly, the widow's son died. Elijah stretched himself on the boy's body three times, and God restored the child's life. Confident of the power of God, Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the false god Asherah to a showdown on Mount Carmel for it to once again rain. The idolaters sacrificed a bull and cried out to Baal from morning until nightfall, even slashing their skin until blood flowed, but nothing happened. Elijah then rebuilt the altar of the Lord, sacrificing a bull there. He put the burnt offering on it, along with wood. He had a servant douse the sacrifice and wood with four jars of water, three times, until all was thoroughly soaked. Elijah called on the Lord, and God's fire fell from heaven, consuming the offering, the wood, the altar, the water, and even the dust around it. The people fell on their faces, shouting, "The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God." (1 Kings 18:39, ) Elijah ordered the people to slay the 850 false prophets. Elijah prayed, and rain fell on Israel. Jezebel was furious at the loss of her prophets, however, and swore to kill Elijah. This brought on a dark night for him despite all of this success. When Queen Jezebel sent her men to hunt him down for slaughtering most of her false prophets, at the showdown in Mount Carmel, Elijah went into hiding and despair and begged God to take his life (1 King 19:1-4). Instead, the prophet slept, and an angel brought him food. Strengthened, Elijah went 40 days and 40 nights to Mount Horeb, where God appeared to him in a whisper. Elijah was both a man of prayer and action. He lived in Mount Carmel to savor the delights of deep contemplation and left it only when sent by God to do His bidding. He was a man of no compromise, a man who spoke the truth when it wasn’t popular, a man who allowed himself to be guided by his zeal for the Lord God of Hosts. He was also a man of deep compassion and sensitivities. God ordered Elijah to anoint his successor, Elisha, whom he found plowing with 12 yoke of oxen. Elisha killed the animals for a sacrifice and followed his master. Elijah went on to prophesy the deaths of Ahab, King Ahaziah, and Jezebel. Like Enoch, Elijah did not die. God sent chariots and horses of fire and took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, while Elisha stood watching. (2Kings 2: 9-12), The story of Elijah is always an inspiring one. He is very relevant to us in our modern age. The basic needs of the human heart never really change. The ways of expressing these needs may vary because of culture and time, but the realities of thirst for the supernatural, search for truth, dissatisfaction with the false gods of power, wealth, ambitions and prestige, longing for a deeper respect for human life, the need to call on a power greater than our own, experiences of fear and despair when faced with forces greater than our own, remain the same. Faced as we are in this modern era with materialism, secularism and intellectual atheism, we most often straddle important issues of our day and adopt a “politically correct” and overly simplistic approach to life’s most important questions. Elijah did not find solutions to his problems by himself but always had recourse to God through prayer. He allowed himself to be filled and guided by God in moments when he sought Him in prayer. He did not weigh the consequences of his actions in the sense of acting only when there was assured victory. He was totally abandoned, docile and trusting that God would finish what he had begun. Even in his dark night of spirit he was docile and humble. He was not afraid to lend a voice to his despair and to acknowledge the fact that he was afraid and inadequate. He desired death because the fight became wearisome. He felt abandoned thinking he was the only one left among the followers of Yahweh. He was ready to give up. Yet, it was through this fear that true courage was born. It was through this emptiness that the cup was filled. It was in this nothingness of man that God was manifested as God. As a Carmelite, we pray that the spirit of our holy father Saint Elijah be given to us. His double spirit of prayer and action is the hallmark of true Carmelite spirituality. In our age of intellectual rationalizations, the voice of this great prophet is once again heard: How long will we straddle the issue? If we believe in God then we must follow him unreservedly, with docility and courage, and trust. What does this mean? It means not counting the cost, not acting only because of assured success, not worrying too much about the good opinions of others. We accept the fact that we will never understand everything that happens to us despite our greatest and honest efforts. We must trust in God – He alone matters. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary! Blessed feast day to all! I am repeating an article done in the past for this great feast day because of the message of the Scapular being a garment of war. Yes, we are at war. This is a very special title for Our Lady. The Carmelite Order IS the Order of Our Lady. The history of it goes back to before Christ on Mount Carmel where the first monks prayed for the coming of the Messiah and for the coming of The Virgin who would give Him birth. It only makes sense that the Eternal Father would have these prayer warriors inspired to pray for the necessary graces needed for the world to receive Our Lady who would then receive the Son of God - our Savior. It is a very beautiful and rich history. It is a great honor and privilege to be a Carmelite! Traditionally, today, many priests will offer either today or the Sunday nearest this day to enroll new members into the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular. Today, so little emphasis is given to this amazing sacramental. For those of us who study God's gift of Our Lady, we know Her amazing place in our salvation. Her yes, allowed the Son of God to be born and die for our sins. We have so much to be grateful for. She was conceived without Original Sin in order to be the first tabernacle of Jesus which had to be very pure. She is Immaculate! We need to give Her our gratitude with our obedience to Her wishes which She has given to us so many times throughout Catholic history. It is always the same --- repent, do penance, pray the Rosary and wear Her Scapular! Lucia of Fatima stated that the Rosary and the Scapular are inseparable. We must do both in order to receive the graces given to those enrolled in Her army. Father Daniel Lord, SJ has written so much for us in the years gone by and I will take some of the words he wrote for the nine day novena pamphlet to Our Lady of Mt Carmel given to us in 1947. I quote: "The scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a uniform, the splendid uniform of those who enlist under Christ and Mary to battle evil and defend the right. Almost from the dawn of history uniforms have suggested war. Soldiers wore them when they went out to do battle. Now with the coming of Christ, a new kind of war was emphasized: the war of truth against lies, of right against wrong. Naturally enough in this new war, in which there were armies on the side of Christ, the men and women who pledge to fight the good fight and thrust Satan back into hell came to wear uniforms. These were the religious habits of early Christian times, the special garb worn by priests and brothers and nuns. The scapular of Our Lady is the badge of our allegiance to Christ and His Mother in their fight against the forces of Evil. It has become a distinctive emblem of a Catholic. When Satan, the great and immortal enemy of the human race, won the preliminary skirmish of Eden, the voice of God Himself foretold that the foot of a conquering woman would crush the devil's head. Mary, conqueror of heresies... Mary, triumphant always in the battle with sin... We wearers of the uniform of Mary know the certainty of victory and the clear prospect of eternal peace. Before all observers, that scapular says: "I am a soldier of Christ and of Mary. I am a sworn enemy of evil." Mary watches with eagerness and guards with care those sons and daughters who wear Her uniform and profess by Her scapular their consecration to Her!" Above is taken from Father Daniel Lord, SJ "Mount Carmel Novena" 1947 So we conclude by saying that we should be happy and proud to be able to wear Her Scapular in this battle today. We can't help but think that it is no wonder that the enemy, who now is actually lurking in the Church, has silenced the promotion to this Scapular - EVEN WITHIN THE CARMELITE ORDER! Satan doesn't want a single soul to be wearing it!! Much Reparation is needed for this crime!! Even the Blue Army, that once promoted it - is now renamed "The Fatima Apostolate". It is politically incorrect to talk of an army or being a soldier of Christ ---- we are now called to tolerate evil - everywhere. THIS IS FALSE TEACHING AND SHOULD BE COUNTERED WITH THE TRUTH! May we wear our uniform bravely, courageously and boldly in this battle of good vs. evil, knowing that the Queen of Mt. Carmel is given the grace by God to crush the head of the devil. Let us not disappoint our King and Queen - let us promote enrollment in Our Lady's army which is fighting a very great battle right now against Satan and his cohorts. Let us put on the uniform of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on our bodies and the weapon of Her Rosary beads in our hands so that we can help protect many souls from being deceived by the enemy and present them instead to the Heart of Her Son - Jesus Christ - Our Lord and King. May Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us. All ye Carmelite saints, pray for us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary... These are my thoughts from extensive reading on the Third Secret of Fatima. I need to begin with a bit of history and go back to 1910 and Pope St. Pius X. He was and is a great saint. God was so good to give him to us and we thank God for his wisdom and all that he gave the Church in the way of combatting Modernism. He called it the synthesis of ALL HERESIES! Ok, now we fast forward to May, 1917 and the messages of Fatima followed in October of that same year with the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the beginning of the spread of the cancer of communism in the world. Many of the leadership of the Bolshevik Revolutionaries were Freemasons from the Grand Orient of France and Russia. The star with hammer and sickle are freemasonic symbols. Freemasonry is behind all the evil that has happened in the world for the past centuries and was predicted by Our Lady of Good Success in the 1600's to Mother Mariana to infiltrate every part of society. Nevertheless, we cannot forget that Our Lady of Good Success also gave us a message of hope similar to the messages of Fatima that when all seems lost, She will restore the world and give us the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart against the devil. (We are living in the end times... not the end of the world.) In the Italian 1859 document, the Alta Vendita, (link below), the freemasons write a blueprint on how to destroy the Catholic Church. The Popes of that time that knew of it wrote against freemasonry in encyclicals. Portugal, at the time of the apparitions, was under freemasonic rule in their government. The children were persecuted by the authorities but they lessened their attacks after the public miracle of the sun for all to see and believe. There is so much written about this mess but I have posted a video below that was done for SisterLucyTruth.org and explains more of what I would like to say here in greater detail....please listen! My Quick Conclusion The Fatima message was suppressed by the Vatican freemasonic infiltrators in order to bring us to our present day of using the Catholic Church as an instrument for a One World Church of a One World Order. Bishop Rudolph Graber wrote in his book Athanasius and the Church of Our Time, written in 1974, a quote from a prominent Freemason who declared that "the goal of Freemasonry is no longer the destruction of the Church,, but to make use of it by infiltrating it". I think they have accomplished their goals. Therefore, with so many clues and so much history; we can conclude that the Third Secret was about an apostasy within the Church that would take place at around 1960. This is precisely why Pope John XXIII would not share the secret with the world as Our Blessed Mother had asked and permanently placed it in the archives claiming that we are not "doom and gloomers". All of the Vatican II Popes wanted to silence Fatima because of its doom and gloom message of apostasy within the Church which would come from the top. JPII, at first, never wanted to address Fatima; but after his attempted assassination on the feast day of Fatima, May 13, 1981; he made an attempt and consecrated the world. Unfortunately, he too, agreed to the Second Vatican Council and put more faith in dialogue than Our Lady's promises...very sad to say. The below video expresses the timeline of why they needed to take Sr. Lucia out and put in an imposter so they could dismantle the Church with the Second Vatican Council. The freemasons knew that there is NO WAY the REAL Sr. Lucia would have tolerated what was going on. God only knows what happened to her. Presently, we are now at the threshold of a great chastisement for the crimes that were committed since 1917 within the Church (which could happen very soon). Only Our Lady and Her Rosary can save us now. May we continue our reparation prayers, our Rosaries, and live the Fatima message of the First Saturdays until we have no more time. After listening to the below video, one can see why Papa Bergoglio is excommunicating real Catholics and letting the heretics and real schismatics run loose. One can see why the Latin Mass must go. One can see why we had to endure all the destruction of convents, seminaries, monasteries, schools, churches, etc. One can see why we witnessed the CHANGES to all the sacraments, to blessing holy water with no exorcisms, to the changes of the Divine Liturgy and the Mass, to the calendar, to the Constitutions of all the Orders, to the destruction of devotions etc etc. Let us remember what Sr. Lucia stated in her last interview with Fr. Fuentes.....good people don't heed the message and bad people keep sinning. The laity have had no leadership with watered down sacraments and a changed Mass and thus have not received the proper graces to overcome becoming lazy and complacent. She stated that we need to take charge and do penance and pray because our leaders will not ask for this. (The reason for the image of our Sorrowful Mother on this article) We are to be diligent and pray, fast and do penance. We are to be obedient to God and His Blessed Mother as best we can and share this message. We must remember that in the end Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and there will be a restoration but I am sure it will not be easy so we must fortify ourselves and our families for this battle between the devil and Our Lady so that Her Son can reign in the hearts of all men. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us! Please watch and read the links below....God bless all of you! Orients of France and Russia Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Third Apparition of Fatima...July 13th. It is the day that Our Lady gave the three shepherd children the 3 Secret of Fatima. Yesterday we covered the first two and today we are covering the Third Secret. Of course, the Third Secret has never been revealed. Sad to say, this message has been suppressed as soon as Rome received it from Lucia's superiors. There is so much to unpack for this that I have to spend three articles on this with two pertaining specifically to the Third Secret. We are at an advantage today with history to look at since the visit of Our Blessed Mother to Fatima Portugal in 1917. If we could write a novel about what could have been if Church authorities and holy laymen did what our dear Blessed Mother came to ask for......WHAT A WORLD WE WOULD BE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW!!!!!! The true Church of Jesus Christ, the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church has great influence over the world and rightly so. All graces flow from Heaven to Earth thru her. If the Church is sick, the world is sick. If the Church is vibrant with holiness and grace, the world is vibrant with life and happiness. This is the reason for the attack by the devil upon the Roman Catholic Church. Remember that Pope Leo XIII had a vision of the Devil with Our Lord..... God gave the devil 100 years to TRY to destroy her. This is quite the mystery. Life is a mystery. We are to remain faithful, no matter what we are faced with in this battle for souls. Well, back to the messages. Regarding the first two secrets, Our Lady was proven right about another war erupting after WWI and by 1943 Josef Stalin was at work at exporting his ideas of communism to the rest of the world. In June of that same year of 1943, Sr. Lucia at the age of 36 came down with pleurisy and her bishop had asked her to write down the 3rd Secret in case she should die before it is revealed. She was reluctant and on Jan 4, 1944 Our Lady appeared to her and confirmed that it is the express desire of Our Lord that she share the secret with Bishop da Silva. She turned over a one page document in a sealed envelope in her own handwriting along with the notebook that it came from to her Bishop. Sr. Lucia asked him to promise that it would definitely be opened and read to the world either at her death or in 1960, whichever would come first. As we all know.... it was not revealed in 1960...more on this later. Cardinal Ottaviani, as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1967 stated that he had read the Third Secret and that it was written on a single sheet of paper. Cardinal Ottaviani had the privilege to ask Sr. Lucia in 1955 why it was not to be opened before 1960. She told him, "because then it will seem clearer and because the Blessed Virgin wishes it so." Arriving at the Vatican on April 16, 1957 from the Bishop in Portugal, the Secret was undoubtedly placed by Pope Pius XII in his personal desk, inside a small wooden box bearing the inscription Secretum Sancti Offici (Secret of the Holy Office). Later that year in December, 1957, Father Fuentes interviewed Sr. Lucia and it was published in 1958 with an imprimatur of his Archbishop Sanchez of Vera Cruz, Mexico...Sr. Lucia told Father... "Father, the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad. The good continue on their way but without going any importance to Her message. The bad, not seeing the punishment of God falling upon them, continue their life of sin without even caring about the message. But believe me, Father, God will chastise the world and this will be in a terrible manner. the punishment from Heaven is imminent." Tomorrow I will write about the message being suppressed and why. 'Below is taken from World Apostolate of Fatima website of the message as given to us in 2000 by Rome (believed to be edited/parts removed) tomorrow we will go over this... Third Part of the Secret: An Angel with a Flaming Sword The Third Part as written down by Sister Lucia on January 3, 1944: “I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through His Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine. After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’ And we saw in an immense light that is God, something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it, a Bishop dressed in White. We had the impression that it was the Holy Father. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... I pray all are well as we are into the fourth day of our Novena to Our Lady of Mt Carmel. We are also well into the summer months and approaching July 13th which was the 3rd apparition date of Our Queen and Mother to the three little shepherd children of Fatima. It was an important apparition date as She had revealed so much to the children that day. In fact, so much, that the authorities of Fatima kidnapped the children before the 4th apparition in August and threatened to take their lives if they did not share what Our Lady told them in July. What was revealed to the children Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta on July 13th, 1917? (below taken from the World Apostolate of Fatima (Blue Army) website).... On July 13, the three children assembled at the Cova and again saw Our Lady over the holm oak tree. Mary told them again to come each month and said, “Continue to pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, because only she can help you.” She promised in October she would tell them who she was and perform a miracle for all to see and believe. Then continued, “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’” (The Sacrifice Prayer) The First and Second Parts of the Secret: A Vision of Hell and Prophecies As she spoke these words, Mary opened her hands and rays of light from them seemed to penetrate the earth, revealing to the children a terrifying vision of hell full of demons and lost souls amid indescribable horrors. This vision of hell was the first of the three-part secret of Fatima. The children looked up to the sad face of the Blessed Virgin, who spoke to them kindly: “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. 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 pontificate of Pius XI. 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 crimes, by means of war, famine and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.” “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. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.” The Third Part of the Secret will be covered tomorrow July 12th separately in another post just before the anniversary of this apparition which is July 13th. (Third Part of the Secret: An Angel with a Flaming Sword) Our Lady told Lucia not to tell anyone about the secret at this time, apart from Francisco (who only saw Our Lady but never heard her speak.....a topic for another article. Why?) Before the apparition ended, she gave these final words: “When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: ‘O my Jesus! Forgive us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’” (The Decade Prayer) So this was a truly important apparition to the children. These first two secrets were guarded very well by the children. Of course, we know that our Good God took the lives of Jacinta and Francesco to Heaven a year later. Lucia wrote these messages down in a memoir and revealed them to her superiors in 1929 who then shared them to the world. So not only was the third secret held off for the future...the first and second as well. Possibly, God was reserving knowledge of the vision of hell for a time when the dread doctrine of eternal damnation would be little thought of and discounted in the preaching of the Gospel. Although the words of Our Lord are absolutely unequivocal and unambiguous on this subject of an eternal hell of fire, the modern world closes its ears and turns away its eyes from the dreadful reality. By refusing to think of hell, the modern world imagines it has abolished hell....a pathetically unreasonable attitude to take in a matter so serious. The doctrine of hell was of course guaranteed by the miracle of the sun. None of us will be able to complain at our judgment that we did not know that hell exists. In fact, I was just at a family member's funeral recently and the wife of the deceased asked for a Rosary the night before his funeral ..... which is totally commendable today!! But she asked that the Fatima prayer at the end of the decade be avoided because not many would participate and it is no longer "standard". Are the words offensive today because of the mention of hell? Is not the Hail Mary even telling of a need for help at the hour of our death? Why pray for help at the hour of death or ask Our Lord to save us from the fires of hell? Aren't we all going to Heaven? Well, many have caught on to the Hail Mary as a prayer that also gives us a reality of hell or Purgatory after death for some souls and refuse the Rosary altogether. I will continue tomorrow on the Third Secret since this is too much for one article. May Our Lady of Mt.. Carmel, Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us! Saints Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta, pray for us. O my Jesus! Forgive us, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’” ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... We are already in the month of July 2024. 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 this week as I had a super busy week last week and could not get to posting anything. Please pray for Archbishop Vigano and all those at the Vatican. This is a very critical time in the Church. Please also pray that many heroic Priests, Bishops and Cardinals will step forward to share and support the truth as Archbishop Vigano has. It is the only way to move forward...in truth. Also, pray that there will not be a ban from Rome on the Latin Mass come this July 16th. This is truly a critical time. Prayer, Penance, Fasting and Reparation are needed. May we all participate. Have a blessed Sunday and a fruitful Novena. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... The Catholic Church is in serious trouble and if we do not wear our Brown Scapular and pray our Rosary and find a Latin Mass, we will be at risk of being deceived by this "New Church" which is evolving and has been evolving for the past few decades. I have been a home schooling mom from the 1990's-2010. The motu proprio Summorum Pontificum came in July, 2007 when I was almost done with home schooling my children. I began to study the difference and decided to only go to the Latin Mass but this was difficult for my children since they were raised with the New Mass. They were not willing to change. They also saw and heard of the priestly scandals, even local ones. They continued to go to the Novus Ordo on their own until college years gave them "great knowledge" and then they began doubting their faith. Then came "COVID lockdowns" and they were told NOT to go to Mass for one full year. When the year was over.......their faith in the need for Mass was over. THIS HAPPENED TO MANY CATHOLIC FAMILIES THAT I KNEW. (5 of my 6 children no longer go to Mass on Sunday.) It was and still is devastating. I continue to pray and beg Our Blessed Mother to help them to seek the Truth and come to understand the Latin Mass. I have supplied books but to no avail. THIS HAS BEEN TRAGIC because it is an eternal one. Many mothers and fathers feel betrayed. I have encouraged many to read the book, "Open Letter to Confused Catholics" by Archbishop LeFebvre.(below) The below short video just released by Michael Matt is very good to hear. May we pray, be strong, and take heed. The plans of destruction have worked on our children ...... may we pray for their souls. They are after the young souls today like never before. God help them through the prayers and intercession of our Blessed Mother. If there are young parents reading this or if you know of young parents with small children; please help them to understand that they must go to a Latin Mass and stay far from the New Mass if they want graces to penetrate the souls of their children. PS....Below I am including an extra video about a mother in Florida who had a 13 year old girl come home to say that she wanted to be a boy. I am including this because ALL school districts except 3 in Florida have this agenda to HELP students come to this same conclusion. This is in ALL 50 STATES. OUR NATION IS TAKEN OVER... FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE USA....THEY ARE COMING YOUR WAY IF THEY ARE NOT THERE YET! BEWARE NO MATTER WHAT SCHOOL YOU ARE ENROLLING YOUR CHILDREN. May Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Well, here we are in 2024 and living in a time of profound cancel culture. Why not? If the devil is running rampant and deceiving the majority of humans today; he must cancel out those who are walking in truth. There is no other way and when you belong to Satan; the means of how you are doing it are irrelevant. I just posted two days ago Campion's Brag; which are the thoughts of St. Edmund Campion when he was tried in England; on how he was only doing what God had called him to do and should not be punished by the authorities for doing it. Here we are in 2024. We have people being thrown off of social media platforms for their opinions that go against the fake news. We have schools and hospitals going against parents who want the best for their children. We had government, education systems, businesses, all let go of people who refused the COVID injections. We have adult children still cancelling their parents for not wanting the COVID injections or for religious or political disagreements. We have pro-life heroes getting thrown in jail for YEARS but yet real criminals go free. We have patriots in jail STILL from January 6th for being invited into the capital to peacefully protest a stolen election FROM three years ago...still NO TRIAL for some. We have a past president of the USA getting tried for all sorts of things... ANYTHING to get him to be cancelled while the sitting president is guilty of HIGH TREASON. We have a sitting Pope of Inclusion; who wants to cancel another cleric (an Archbishop) for calling out the damage, lies and just wanting truth in the Roman Catholic Church. Everyone is invited to this new Church that Bergoglio is creating BUT NOT TRUE TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS. This claim against this Archbishop comes just before the Latin Mass will be banned in the entire world by this Pope of Inclusion (if we do not pray and make sacrifices) All of this seems to be leading to a worldwide fight of GOOD vs. EVIL; TRUTH vs. LIES. There is talk about internment camps around the world to be used for dissidents. The internet will soon be purged of all dissidents. Is the next World War going to be like World War II but instead of concentration camps just being in Germany and Poland, we will have them world wide.....paid for by citizens tax dollars? May we pray to Our Blessed Mother for peace. She has warned us many times over the centuries that it would come to this. We have not listened to our Mother. Does anyone listen to their mother? Let us pray for Archbishop Vigano who has spoken out as a true hero about what is happening in our Church, in God's Church (link below). He knows that time here on earth is short and that we are to stand before God someday and answer for our actions (or lack of). Let us all take heed to the example Archbishop Vigano is giving us. We do not want to be lukewarm or compromising Catholics. We want to be set on fire for Truth and for Jesus Christ and His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. And if we are to be persecuted for it by our families, our friends, our pastor, our community, our Vatican; then rejoice for your reward in Heaven will be great! (for all eternity!) But the most important reason is to serve God above all things..... showing Him our unfailing, uncompromising love! One can see now....so many years later....that Cardinal Josef Suenens. one of the moderators of Vatican II, was correct when the Council finished and he proudly said, "Vatican II is the French Revolution in the Church". (Meaning the Declaration of Man by the Freemasons.... and that they had dethroned God) We have seen nothing but horror since it happened. Remember that Our Lady had asked that the Third Secret of Fatima be revealed to the world in 1960. Pope John XXIII read it himself and declared that this may never be given to the public. WAS IT THIS? ...... and was it the reason that to a huge degree, the message of Fatima has been ignored by Rome! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! St. Edmund Campion and all heroic saints, pray for us! Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... I just saw this on Life Site News and am repeating it here and will put a link at the bottom. Please continue to pray the Reparation Prayers of Fatima, and pray with great sincerity as we are about to enter into some turbulent times. God is in charge and as long as we hold Our Blessed Mother's hand....She will guide us and give us the strength we need to do God's Will....whatever it may be. If you have children in your home be sure to help strengthen their faith in a loving and just God and a true love for their Blessed Mother. Depending on their age, explain what is going on in the world so they accept God's Will. This, as well as your prayers for them, will bring them peace. God bless all of you and love God with your whole heart, mind and soul! Taken from Life Site News dated June 20, 2024...... "Catholics are being called upon to partake in a worldwide Rosary novena to restore peace in the world. From June 24 to July 2, Catholics around the world will partake in a nine-day Rosary novena, appealing to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to avert a Third World War and restore peace. “We are in WWIII,” the website promoting the initiative declared. “President George Bush Jnr said as much back in 2005, and Pope Francis said the same in 2013. In the first week of June 2024, Germany and the US gave Ukraine permission to use their weapons to strike inside Russia, and France is considering sending troops to Ukraine.” The novena is being led by a faithful Catholic who told LifeSiteNews she would like to remain anonymous, saying, “my sole motivation is simple – to do my best to stop WWIII.” “The Middle East is a tragedy, and one can never rule out a confrontation between China and Taiwan. And North Korea? Let’s pray no country uses nuclear weapons – there is no such thing as a limited nuclear war,” the website explains. “It makes little difference who started down this path. Our Lady warned the children at Fatima in 1917, ‘war is the punishment for sin’. A hundred years later, the world is awash with every type of sin imaginable,” it continues. “For this reason, we all share some of the responsibility for this calamitous situation,” the website declares. “Unless the world turns back to God; humbly asks for forgiveness and mercy; and cries out in one voice to heaven to help end this madness, we must accept the consequences – the possible annihilation of a great part of humanity.” The novena follows the directive of Pope Benedict XV, who reigned during WWI. During the devastating war, Pope Benedict called on Catholics to join him in a novena to Mary, Queen of Peace. Before the novena was even completed, Our Lady appeared to the three young children at Fatima, Portugal, on May 13, 1917. Later, on October 13, 1917, around 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun, which some say is the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection. The First World War ended the next year in 1918. The new Rosary novena includes Pope Benedict XV’s same novena prayer: “To Mary, then, who is the Mother of Mercy and omnipotent by grace, let loving and devout appeal go up from every corner of the earth – from noble temples and tiniest chapels, from royal palaces and mansions of the rich as from the poorest hut – from blood-drenched plains and seas.” “Let it bear to Her the anguished cry of mothers and wives, the wailing of little innocent ones, the sighs of the generous heart; that her most tender and benign solicitude may be moved and the peace we ask for be obtained for our agitated world,” it concludes. Each day of the novena, Catholics are asked to pray Pope Benedict’s prayer, the Rosary, and a short intention which can be found on the website. “If you want peace in the world, go home and love your families,” the website quotes St. Teresa of Calcutta. |
