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.

Eucharistic Jesus Wants Our Love and Reparation For Those Who Do Not Love!

"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....

Reparation Prayers of 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.
Book of Eucharistic Reparation by Bishop Schneider
Here is the interview that is worth viewing for all Catholics this June.....
Interview of Bishop Schneider on Eucharistic Love & Reparation
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).
Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Home
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!

Feast of Corpus Christi - Gift of Love!

6/4/2026

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!

Life Offering for the Month of June - Month of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

6/1/2026

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is the moved feast day of the Queenship of Mary in the Traditional Calendar. May we ask Our Good Queen and Mother to help us through a "Life Offering"......especially for those who have strayed FAR FROM THE HEART OF JESUS! I am going to do this not only as an extenion of my Consecration to Jesus through Mary but as a means to help the souls of my children who have strayed from the Catholic Faith! (Read the promises...but know that we must live this with deep Faith and Trust in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for this to be fruitful!)

For this month of June and today's feast of the Queenship of Mary, I recommend the Life Offering to be lived starting with this Month of June to save souls and to hasten the Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the era of peace.....may Our Queen place our life offering before the throne of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus!

The Life Offering is just like Marian Consecration as taught by Our Lord through St. Montfort and endorsed by many Popes. It is just like the Heroic Act for the Souls in Purgatory which Mother Church has enriched with so many Indulgences. The important thing is to offer one's life for love of God and Souls and to persevere.

Mary, our Heavenly Mother, implores those who receive Holy Communion daily, or at least weekly, to offer their lives for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls, that the souls of sinners may not be damned but receive, at least at their last hour, the graces of eternal life. (Remember at Fatima, she showed the children Hell and told them that many souls go there because there is no one to pray and make sacrifices for them!


THE FIVE PROMISES OF OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER TO THOSE WHO OFFER THEIR LIVES TO HER
  1. Their names will be written in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, inflamed by love.
  2. Their life offering, together with the infinite merits of Jesus, can save many souls from damnation. All souls who will live until the end of the world will benefit from their life offering.
  3. None of their family members will go to hell, even if it seems otherwise, because they will receive, in the depths of their souls, the grace of sincere contrition before the soul departs from their bodies.
  4. On the day they offer their lives, their loved ones suffering in Purgatory will be released.
  5. I will be with them at the hour of their death. They will not know Purgatory. I will carry their souls straight to the presence of the Glorious Trinity, where they will live with me in a special place created by God and will rejoice forever.

TEXT OF THE LIFE OFFERING

My dear Jesus, before the Holy Trinity, Our Heavenly Mother, and the whole Heavenly Court, united with Your most precious Blood and Your Sacrifice on Calvary, I hereby offer my whole life to the Intention of Your Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Together with my life, I place at Your disposal all Holy Masses, all my Holy Communions, all my good deeds, all my sacrifices, and the sufferings of my entire life for the Adoration and Supplication of the Holy Trinity, for Unity in Our Holy Mother Church, for the Holy Father and Priests, for Good Priestly Vocations, and for All Souls until the end of the world.

O my Jesus, please accept my life sacrifice and my offerings and give me Your Grace that I may persevere obediently until my death. Amen.



OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER: “My children who offer your lives, make the act of contrition every day! Make it not only for yourselves but for all men. This will continually weaken the power of evil to tempt and will help all souls to free themselves from the slavery to sin.

“If you continually practice contrition for others, this will act as an antiseptic to arrest the spread of the “virus” of sin. It will stop the infection, illness and death of souls. See how great the power of sincere contrition is if it comes from the depths of the heart! It can heal, cleanse and save the life of the soul.

“In addition to contrition for the whole of humanity, unite yourself with my Immaculate Heart to storm heaven with prayer for the forgiveness of sins. Thus, you will become united with me and become genuine and intimate helpers of Jesus as fishers of men.”


PRAYER OF CONTRITION

O my Jesus, I love You over and above everything! For the love of You I am sorry for all my sins. O merciful Love, I ask pardon for the sins of the whole world. United with the Immaculate Heart of our Heavenly Mother, I ask pardon for all my sins and for all the sins of my brothers and sisters that have been and will be committed until the end of the world. My dear Jesus, united with Your Holy Wounds, I offer my life to the Eternal Father according to the Intention of the Sorrowful Mother. Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Mediatrix of all Grace and Mercy, our only refuge and hope, pray for us!

“Souls chosen by the Eternal Father to offer their lives must strive to save as many other souls as possible. This can be done through fervent prayer, through the practice of love, through meekness, humility and self-denial, but above all through the patient acceptance of sufferings. I believe that my Motherly Heart will find among my children souls who love God with the love of the martyrs.

“My children, even during the greatest trials, hold my motherly hand with unbounded trust. Come together with me to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: He is your strength on your earthly pilgrimage. Thus, strengthened by Him daily, you will march toward your eternal dwelling place of happiness where you will recognize each other in glorious ecstasy, you who sacrificed your lives for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Then my Holy Son will embrace you to His flaming Heart, and He will immerse you in the ecstasy of the united love of the Trinity. In this state of eternal bliss, you will rejoice forever, together with those souls who were able to gain eternal life because of your selfless life sacrifice.


“Hope and love, because God is with you. My children, each offered life is pleasing to God. Therefore, do not limit your sacrifice. This should be your life slogan: Give more and love better!"

Our Lady, Queen and Mother, pray for us!

Is the Roman Catholic Church....Still Catholic?

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

This title is quite scandalous given that we are still in the Octave of Pentecost. Poor Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  There is so much happening in the world and in the Church that is blatantly against God. Papa Provost just gave us a new encyclical...."Magnifica Humanitas". The age of Man over God continues....which began in a significant way after Vatican II and the New Mass were introduced to the world.

​Bishop Strickland wrote on this new encyclical on his website Pillars of Faith....

Pillars of Faith - Bishop Strickland May, 2026
Commentary by Anthony Stine on Return to Tradition.....
Another Commentary on Current Actions from Rome May 2026
Mentioned in Anthony Stine's commentary is an action by Pope Francis that ignited some of the things coming out of the Pontifical Academy of Life in Rome....
Letter of Papa Bergoglio to the Pontifical Academy of Life
Warning signals in 1907 from Pope St. Pius X (an incorrupt saint) given to us by God for this exact time in history....for our guidance and sanity during these troubling times. BE ASSURED TRADITION AND BEING A TRUE TRADITIONAL ROMAN CATHOLIC ARE WHAT GOD WANTS OF US....MAY WE REMAIN SO!!!!
On the Doctrine of the Modernists...Pope Pius X
Added to this article is related the following.....G. K. Chesterton was a man who did a great job with his wit and knowledge to make many points clear during his time here on earth. God rest his soul and give him a reward for all the good he did. There is a man today who has decided to use Chesterton's past wisdom to look at the current craziness through his lens...I think it is worth viewing his work. It seems that he started this channel only about a year ago...I pray it grows for people to see the foolishness of what is going on today. Below is one of his videos regarding Mary as seen as Co-Redemptrix. All of his videos are worth viewing and are short and to the point...I hope you enjoy and frequent his work......
Mary's Roles in Question - Chesterton's Jest
Let us not give up hope and let us implore the Holy Spirit to guide all those in Rome to REMAIN (or become) Catholic. May Our Lady, Help of Christians and Good St. Joseph pray for all of us in the Church.....to be the magnanimous Catholics God wants all of us to be. May we fight to remain Catholic and promote only those Traditions and Truths that Jesus Christ gave to the Roman Catholic Church!

All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray and protect us.
​Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy upon all of us.

Feast of Pentecost - Come Holy Ghost!

5/23/2026

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

May we begin with a prayer:


Come Holy Ghost into our minds that we may know the things that are of God.
Come Holy Ghost into our hearts that we may love the things that are of God.
Come Holy Ghost into our souls that we may belong only to God.
Sanctify all that we think, say and do, that all will be for the greater glory of God.


At Pentecost the Apostles with the presence of Mary became infused with the love and tender gifts of God through the indwelling of the Spirit in a very powerful way similar to that of our Confirmation in order that they may love the Faith, teach the Faith, defend the Faith and die for this Faith! We receive Sanctifying Grace at the Sacrament of Confirmation and it is the greatest gift of the Holy Ghost! It gives to the soul a resemblance to God, corresponding to His infinite sanctity, and imprints upon it the supernatural likeness of God. Through grace, the soul is clothed in such heavenly beauty that, in comparison, all earthly beauty seems vile.

The value of Sanctifying Grace cannot be expressed. St. Thomas Aquinas says, “The least grace outweighs all the riches of this world.” This is astonishing since it seems that all those around us including our own family members and friends would rather seek the things of the world than to seek and ask God for the greatest gift in the universe – Sanctifying Grace!! Staying away from the Sacraments and praying to God leaves one's soul void of God....void of peace.....void of love and all the gifts the Holy Spirit gives to a soul in sanctifying grace.

So what is this Sanctifying Grace that we should seek above the empty treasures of this world? Sanctifying Grace makes us a friend of God. If we die in this Grace – we will be happy FOREVER IN HEAVEN! This should be everyone’s goal! We will become partakers of His Heavenly Kingdom! Now, since all the treasures of Heaven and earth are comprised in God, and God is of infinitely greater value than anything created, it makes perfect sense that if man receives God Himself as a reward for Sanctifying Grace, he must have gained infinitely more than all the treasures of the world! The soul is elevated so high by Sanctifying Grace that it becomes a true child of God. “Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God.” (1 John 3:1)  This is the knowledge that led the saints and continues to lead the saints to give their whole lives to God in His service on this earth so as to be happy with Him in the next. Nothing compares!

The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Love, proceeding from the Father and the Son. The dispensing of Sanctifying Grace is the great work of God’s love. Hell and all its inhabitants try to rob us of this precious jewel, for the fallen angels realize its value and do not want us to share in it. How often we sell this precious jewel for a trifle found on this earth!! May we pray for the grace to NEVER sell this precious jewel for mortal sin. May we pray for the grace to know that this jewel makes us richer than all the wealth the world can give. May we place ourselves into the hands of the Spouse of the Holy Ghost – Mary. May She protects us from the wiles and deceits of Satan who labors daily and LONGS TO ROB US OF THIS TREASURE!!

Are we unhappy? Are we still seeking happiness? Are we not content with life? Are we anxious or fearful? The means of happiness lies in all Christians going about each day seeking the means of acquiring Sanctifying Grace with greater zeal than the worldlings go about seeking money and worldly treasures!  May we go forward seeking means of Sanctifying Grace through prayer and the Sacraments of the Church in order for the Blessed Trinity to dwell within our souls more and more each day so that we become living temples of God both NOW AND FOREVER! May we hunger and strive to want the God of Love to dwell within us!

Mary, Spouse of the Holy Ghost - pray for us!
​All ye Holy Angels and Saints - pray for us.

Our Lady of Fatima - Her Warnings Are Her Actions of Love!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

Happy Feast Day (tomorrow)!  Much is happening in the skies....Malachi Martin, who was priviledged to see the Third Secret but could not share it, always said to look to the skies....so here we are with so much going on today. No one knows the day or the hour but we do have signs.

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).

OUR LADY TO SR. LUCIA....
“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. 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. 

“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.”

Here Our Lady warns of the events – including war! – to be foreshadowed by the “night illumined by an unknown light”. 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 “unknown light” occurred. But, unfortunately, Our Lady’s requests have gone unheeded, and many of the predicted events have already occurred. Thus it would seem that ‘the annihilation of nations’ is looming on the horizon…

By 1938, World War II was about to break out. It would begin “during the reign of Pius XI,” signaled by “a night illumined by an unknown light”. On the night of January 25-26, 1938 – during the reign of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) – 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. 
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.  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 no matter what cause the light could be attributed to, “God made use of this to make me understand that His justice was about to strike the guilty nations…” 

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!

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. 


Jesus, Mary, I love You....save souls!   (pray this quite often in your day for those dying today and those to die soon)

Our Lady of Fatima and of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us!

There are many proofs of Sun Activity...here is one

Minor Rogation Days - May 11, 12, 13 - Famine is Coming - WE NEED THIS!

5/11/2026

0 Comments

 
Picture
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.

​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.

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’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.

Third, Rogation Days affirm the power of public prayer. When the Church gathers as a body to implore God’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.

God have mercy upon the farmers, please bless these drought stricken lands with rain.

Holy Mother Mary, please intercede for us!

Mother's Day - Holy Mother Please Pray For Catholic Families to Remain Catholic

5/9/2026

0 Comments

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! 

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.

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....

Words of Bishop Sheen....
"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’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.

The permanence of the bond is necessary also for sacrifice. So long as a nation of families learns to renounce the “mine” in the “ours” 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. His luxuries soon become necessities, children a burden, and the ego a god.  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? 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.
"


May we all pray the Family Rosary for the coming war, famine and pestilence about to engulf the earth for our crimes ! 

 Dear Mother Mary - pray for us!!

The Brown Scapular - Fr. Rafferty,          O Carm visit to Sr. Lucia - Aug. 15. 1950

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is the feast of the Apparition of St. Michael the Archangel but since the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13th and St. Simon Stock is May 16th is coming up soon......I hope to post a few articles through these feastdays promoting The Brown Scapular. 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.

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!!

I took the following words from the website....Scapularofmtcarmel.com........

On August 15, 1950, Father Howard Rafferty spoke with Sister Lucy regarding the Fatima message and it's connection with the Brown Scapular:

Sister Lucy:
"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."

Father Rafferty:
"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?"

Sister Lucy:
"He could not fulfill what the Blessed Mother asked for at Fatima if he refused to wear the Brown Scapular!"

Father Rafferty:
"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?"


Sister Lucy:
"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."

The four main advantages to be derived from the wearing of the Brown Scapular
1. It is a safeguard and pledge of special protection in dangers of soul and body (which has been proved by many miracles).

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.

3. We can be confident of a quick release from Purgatory.

4. We acquire the right to a participation in all the good works, penances and merits of the members of the Carmelite Order.

Fr. Rafferty, O Carm on Fatima & Brown Scapular
