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

Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Blessed Easter to all! Easter brings tremendous hope...which is greatly needed today when there is so much to cause feelings of hopelessness as we see a world and a Church in chaos. May the following words and link below of Bishop Sheen shed some light in a dark world..especially since this was done at wartime and we are now again in wartime.....Blessed Easter to all!! "His enemies remembered that He had said that He would rise again, but they were certain He would not. They were afraid that the Apostles would come and steal away the Body and then say He had risen. Guarding against such deceit, they went to Pilate, asking him to set a watch of soldiers about the tomb for three days, in addition to which they would attach their own official seal to the stone before the entrance. Pilate acceded to their request. Then the Evangelist Matthew fittingly closed his Gospel with the most ironic sentence in literature: “And they departing made the sepulcher sure.” The seal was placed on the sepulcher, and a great stone was rolled in front of the door. His enemies took every precaution against fraud, but could take none against Divinity. As they made their way down Calvary’s hill, such thoughts as these ran through their minds: “Now, His fishermen can go back to their nets and their boats; their Kingdom is a mockery! As for their Master, His Heart was so pierced that blood and water came from it. Our vigilance and that of the soldiers will not permit any one to steal away the Body. He who said He had life in abundance is now dead; He Who said He could summon twelve legions of angels to His assistance now is cold as death; He Who said He could raise up a child of Abraham from a stone is now buried under stone. The Impostor is dead! How wonderfully effective is a Roman death! Nothing can survive a Crucifixion! He will never rise again! Is that true? Can one rise from the dead? Does not the very fact that He was born in a stranger’s cave and buried in a stranger’s grave prove that human birth and death are equally foreign to Him? Look about at nature. Is not the springtime the Easter Day of the Good Friday of winter? Has not all death within itself the germs of life? Does not the “falling rain bud the greenery”? Does not the falling acorn bud the tree? Why should all creation rise from the dead and not the Redeemer of creation? Therefore – The God of creation rose on that first Easter morn! (Taken from "The Divine Romance" by Bishop Sheen, 1931) Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Good Friday .... The day Jesus offered up His whole being for the sins of the world and to open the gates of Heaven for us to live with Him for all eternity! This article is for the most part a repeat of a previous article because I love the reality of Jesus and Mary working together for our salvation...The CO-REDEMPTRIX word needs to be said here.....WOW....how sad the state of the Church is today to deny Our Lady such a title! It is absolutely embarassing that Rome wants to strip Her of this! My focus today will be on Mary during this great time of suffering in being at the side of Her Son Jesus. The Heart of Our Dear Blessed Mother was always united to Her Son Jesus....She is His Mother....She suffered His Death in Her Immaculate Heart since the sight of Her Sweet baby in Bethlehem....for She knew what lied ahead for both of them. At Christmas, we hear the song, "Mary Did You Know". It is a moving song but not very accurate. Mary had to have known what was ahead for both of them or Her fiat to being the Mother of God would not have been honest. God allowed Her to know the future in order for Her fiat to be real..to be honest...to be sincere. She knew what was ahead for Jesus and for Herself. Fr. Faber quotes from "City of God' by Mother Mary Agreda which many saints have read from and it is approved. He mentions that Jesus actually went to Her for Her blessing before His Passion commenced because both knew this was the time of His Sacrifice. In all humility, She fell to Her knees to receive His instead. The two knelt in prayer together and each blessed the other. HOW BEAUTIFUL! My article today will be thoughts taken from Father Frederick Faber's book..."The Foot of the Cross". I highly recommend all of his books but this one covers all seven of the Blessed Mother's dolors in a very deep and poetic way. Fr. Faber wrote books, hymns and poems and died at a fairly early age....I was astounded that he had accomplished so much before he was called home. Father Faber explains that with each dolor...there is a distinct grace and love that increases in the soul of Mary. Each dolor as it comes, falls upon greater love, and also upon love that has suffered more, and therefore gives Her a great capacity for suffering because of that increased LOVE. Because of the many mystical gifts the saints have experienced over the ages, we can be certain that by a miraculous grace Mary assists, in spirit, at the Agony in the Garden, sees our Lord's Heart unveiled throughout, and feels in Herself, and according to Her measure, a corresponding agony throughout His entire Passion. What does God allow Her to see... physically... spiritually...... She sees the treachery of Judas, in spite of Her intense prayers for him. She hears the voice of Jesus, She hears also the blows given to Her Beloved. She hears the sound of the scourging, She sees Him at the pillar, and the people around Him sprinkled with His Blood. She sees the guards of Herod mock the Everlasting. She has beheld the ruffians in the guard room celebrate the cruel coronation of the Almighty King. She heard Pilate say, "Behold the Man". She heard the wild blasphemies against Jesus by His own people which still rings in our ears and echoes down through the centuries. Fr. Faber beautifully says, "Never had maternal love sat on such a throne as that one in Mary's Heart." When the moment has come for the meeting on the way to Calvary. Jesus halts for a moment. He lifts the one hand that is free, and clears the blood from His eyes. Is it to see Her? Rather, that She may see Him. His look of sadness, His look of love. She approaches to embrace Him. The soldiers thrust Her rudely back. Oh, misery... and She is His Mother! For a moment She reeled with the push, and then again was still, Her eyes fixed on His, His eyes fixed on Hers; such a link, such an embrace, such an outpouring of love, such an overflow of sorrow. She follows Him all the way to Golgotha and witnesses the falls, the jeers, the kicks, the trampled on Precious Blood, the insults; ALL the pain and suffering of His Way of the Cross. Can anyone deny the fact that She is our Co-Redemptrix??? Fr. Faber ends with a message to all of us. He states the following...."Would it not be an unproductive day in which we did not meet our Lord? For is not that the very meaning of our lives? If the day is meant for the sun to shine, it is but half a day, or rather it is night, if only the material sun shall shine, and the Sun of justice also rise not on us with health upon His wings. We go out to meet Jesus in every action of the day; but we require this fourth dolor to admonish us that we must rarely expect to meet Him except with a Cross, and that a new one. It is always with the Cross that we encounter Him. Why, then, are we so amazed when crosses come??? When it has happened thus so often, do we not see that it is a law, a law of the kingdom of grace, and that not to perceive it is to lose half its blessing, by missing the promptitude of obedience? What cross we shall meet today we know not and sometimes we cannot guess. But we know that if we meet Jesus we shall meet a cross, and evening will find us with the burden on our backs but with Jesus and Mary at our side. Some men meet Him, and turn away. Some see Him far off, and turn down another road. Some come close up, and leap down the precipice at the side, as if He were a destroying angel blocking up the way. Some pass by, pretending they do not know Him. He has been walking cross-laden in thousands of earth's roads today; but He has had a few honest greetings. Some follow in the sullenness of servile obedience, and drag their cross, and it jolts upon the stones, and hurts them all the more, and they fall, but their falls are not in union with those three of His upon the old Way of the Cross. Few kneel down and kiss His feet, and take the cross off His back and shoulder it and walk by His side, singing Psalms and smiling with the knowledge of mingling their love and reparation with their Lord and Savior. Oh the beauty of that day's sunset to such as these! So let us embrace our cross as Mary, Our Mother did, and follow Jesus to Heaven...our true Home! No one's face is toward Heaven when it is not toward Calvary....but it must be done in union with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the spirit of LOVE and REPARATION! Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix, pray for us and lead us to Jesus so that we, like You, will be at the Foot of the Cross! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Today is Holy Thursday and it begins the three days with all of its mysteries that we have been preparing for all of Lent. In the liturgical rites of Holy Thursday, the Church helps us to relive the last parting hours of our sweet Jesus in the Upper Room, the hours of great love and importance in giving us Himself in the Holy Eucharist, the great gift of the priesthood and at last -- his agony in the garden before He is arrested. I am covering these as I did in the past. I was privileged to read as a teenager, St. Alphonsus’ great works of “The Glories of Mary” and “The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ". I realized Jesus wants us to be with Him at this time on Holy Thursday evening. (St. Margaret Mary honored every Thursday night of the entire year with Reparation) Since then, by the grace of God, I have honored this time from the Holy Mass till Midnight on Holy Thursday – to be with Jesus in His agony – to pray with Him. If we were truly lovers of our Lord and Master, we would all be there on Holy Thursday not only at the service but during the time of Adoration between the Mass and Midnight, when Our Lord is in His Agony in the Garden. His own apostles fell asleep and one of his apostles betrayed him. It is the time when His entire Passion and Death are presented to Him and He views all of our sins and sees how little His sufferings would help poor mankind for the sole reason ------ they will reject and spurn His love. He suffered enough to save us all – but MANY will be lost for the sole reason – MANY will REJECT HIS LOVE! Don’t you want to be with Jesus at this moment? Don’t you want to console His aching Sacred Heart? There is no measure of time with God. We can be like St. Mary Magdalen and offer our constant love and adoration. We can be like St. John and tend to the sorrows of Our Lady all the way to the cross. We can be like St. Veronica who wipes His face by offering our love and reparation as He Himself asked for in the Golden Arrow Prayer. And most of all, we can be imitators of our dear Queen and Mother who was always present to Jesus with Her prayers. Another great gift is the gift of the Holy Eucharist which also demands our reparation as we have learned at the apparitions of Fatima. Jesus gives of Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. He did not have to do this. He gives Himself in an unbloody way at Mass but does He suffer any less?? NO – absolutely NOT. He makes Himself vulnerable – as a little white host FOR CENTURIES – to be loved yes by some but He is subjected to MANY MANY SACRILEGES by priest and people alike! We all know what those are – I do not want to list them here. May we pray the Fatima Reparation Prayers today especially! May we pray them always to console the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! (These can be found on this website) Finally, we cannot forget the great gift of the priesthood. Today more than any time in history is the priesthood scorned, mocked and scandalized! POOR POOR JESUS!! We have many Judases and for those dear priests who are faithful – they are suffering as Our Lord and Master. If we all knew what a priest truly is – we would have greater reverence and we would encourage our boys to beg Jesus to call them there and to at least offer their lives and to ask if it truly is God’s Will for them – but no – Satan has caused such havoc to the priesthood that many would never dare recommend this to their sons. POOR POOR JESUS! What is a priest? A priest walks in “persona Christi” – he is another Christ! He brings us Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. He brings us the sacraments that we all need – Baptism, Penance, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders and Extreme Unction. Without a priest we would not have Jesus truly present in the Eucharist – they are inseparable! There are many things to be upset about that came about during the Second Vatican Council but this is truly despicable – the loss of love for the priesthood. To raise the people up and to lower the priest was intentional by the ecclesiastical Freemasons who infiltrated the Church. One of my friends just told me that her granddaughter was the only one in the class that could explain the difference between the priest and the rest of the laity that help serve at the Mass. This is where the Second Vatican Council has brought us and where the present Vatican regime wants us. In conclusion – we need to make Reparation, Reparation, Reparation! May we spend time today with our sweet Jesus in His Agony in the Garden. May we watch with open eyes and open hearts to the sacrileges that have caused such sadness to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. May we offer up to God ourselves, as the saints of old have done in order to love Him with our whole heart, mind and soul! Oh Most Holy Trinity, My God, My God, how I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament! Thank you Jesus for Your love for us – we are sorry for lack of love in return. Give us the grace to love You always and then do with us as You will. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Mother of priests – pray for us!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... Today is Tuesday of Holy Week. We are drawing closer to Triduum which should be for all Catholics a time to rest one's head near the Heart of Jesus like St. John. May we comfort Him in His current agony that we see all around us at the moment. May we make reparation for the sins of our fallen away family members that wound His Heart. May we make reparation for the sins of the Church as we see it betray Our Lord like Judas did. There is so much to repair with our prayers, fasts and reparations. I am including an article that first appeared in Crisis Magazine that TFP Tradition Family Property has reposted for more to view.....and now I am doing. It is in a link below. It is about the history of the ancient Trappist Monastery that just announced its closing as of 2028. This article contains thoughts on HOW TO SAVE the monastery. I would like to add that the ideas in the article are good for the entire Church. Many dioceses in the USA are going to announce hundreds of more parish closures...I am sure in the rest of the world as well. We need to pray for a renewal and I can only stress that the ideas in the article found in the link are basically that the "New Springtime" only occurred for the Freemasons.....not the Roman Catholic Church! The Religious Liberty Document of Vatican II is one of the reasons why we are where we are. The Freemasons were watching the numbers of Catholics grow between the 1920'a and 1950's (war time) in America and elsewhere and getting very nervous about the growth of the Catholic Church. The enemies were in high places in the Church already and called for a Council - a pastoral council. (which now they wish to claim supercedes all of Church teachings!) Liberalism which was condemned by a number of pre-Vatican II Popes was now being embraced. Pope Pius X warned of this Liberalism and Modernism in almost everything he wrote. He saw it creeping into the Church and tried very hard to keep it from entering the walls but realized that when he died - if the Popes after him were not diligent - it would come back with a vengeance. What is Liberalism and how do I recognize it - How do I and my family protect ourselves from the poisons of Liberalism? Here are some descriptions and explanations from Professsor Plinio Correa de Oliveira (who I recommend - read all you can of this modern day saint!): Characteristics of the Liberal Catholic What is a liberal Catholic? He is an individual split by two opposed realities, by two radical positions that he accepts but that exclude one another. One is Catholic radicalism, an invitation to sanctity; the other is liberal radicalism, the complete adoration of self and the rejection of any restraints. These two conflicting invitations co-exist in the liberal Catholic. Since he chooses to live in this contradiction, in effect he becomes a Pharisee: He does not want to say “no” to the invitation of God, but above all he does not want to say “yes” to it. He does not say, “God, I want to break with you, to abandon the Faith and to leave the Catholic Church.” He is afraid to say this. He still has some attraction toward these things. He also dishonestly closes his eyes to his veiled concessions. When he makes a concession to liberalism, he does not admit it to himself. Thus he is hypocritical and lies to himself. How this lie presents itself to him? He finds a non-radical interpretation of the Catholic doctrine, an interpretation that does not reach its final consequences. Someone told me that one way to identify a sick tree is to look at the ends of its branches: If the leaves are drying up and only those closer to the trunk are alive, the tree is in the process of dying. If this botanical rule is true, it gives me a metaphor to describe the state of soul of the liberal Catholic. The Catholic contaminated by liberalism does not reach the final consequences of the principles he professes. He tends to soften any doctrine that bothers him. For example, when he speaks of Hell, he says: “Yes, I know that many people go there, but my family and friends, who are all fairly decent people, will probably not go there. After all, they have good qualities…” If someone argues: “But Hell is filled with people with some good qualities,” he does not reply and becomes deeply resentful. Harboring resentments is, in fact, another characteristic of the liberal mentality. The liberal Catholic is exceedingly resentful; he does not argue, he moans. Later, he will take his revenge and stab you in the back through intrigues or slanders. If you touch on the subject of Purgatory, noting that souls suffer a lot there, he replies: “Yes, but the mercy of Our Lady is so great that no one really knows how long God would make a soul suffer in Purgatory.” In practical terms, he transforms Purgatory into a place where God does not punish but only scares naughty souls a little, like parents who give their children "time outs". If you bring up the obligation we have to accept Catholic dogma or become heretics, the liberal Catholic will answer, “Yes, but the dogmas have to be interpreted broadly so that almost no one really falls into heresy.” (including Popes) There is always a minimization, a restriction to avoid reaching the final consequences and not reach a more complete and richer understanding of Catholic truths. This attitude of soul evolves. That is, no liberal Catholic remains in the same position. It is like a leprosy that progresses and eventually consumes the whole person. If the person has a long life, at its end he will have lost or almost lost the Faith. Summarizing, these are the basic characteristics of the liberal Catholic:
MY COMMENT: The above is very true and we could write more on this - a book actually! We need to be aware of what liberalism is and try very hard to learn the true teachings of the Catholic Church (pre-Vatican II) and stick to these teachings in order to live and die a Catholic. and not fall into this apostasy. The Catholic Church has suffered a mortal blow with Vatican II liberal thinking but by the grace of God it is not dead! IT IS A MIRACLE the Catholic Church still has a remnant!! Our Lady of Fatima did say that in the end Her Immaculate Heart would triumph! She will triumph over this great Apostasy which is the fruit of this Liberalism. One more reason not to get discouraged! We have to fight more than ever for the social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In this battle, we are not alone; we have with us all the Popes up through Pope Pius XII inclusively. All of them combated Liberalism in order to deliver the Church from it. We also have the entire celestial army of angels and saints to intercede for us. We have Our Lady Who will crush the head of the serpent. We have to build up while the others are demolishing! How can we do this - REPARATION! Someone has to make reparation for this mess - who will do it? That is what this site is all about - May we make this Holy Week ...one of Reparation. Pray the Fatima Reparation prayers daily - they can be found on this website. Let us console the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and not give up. We have the power to help win souls for Heaven - let us do that as Our Lady has asked the Fatima children to do! Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary - pray for us. All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Tomorrow is the Feast of the Sorrows of Mary. This is a day given to us in the Church to meditate on what Our Lady went through as we enter into Holy Week and meditate on the Passion and Death of Her Son. Below, I have taken thoughts and paraphrased from the writings of Rev. Reginald Garrigou-LaGrange and his book, “The Love of God and the Cross of Jesus”…... If one wants to know how far suffering caused by sins can go, look to the Heart of the Blessed Mother. Her sorrow is measured by Her love for God, for Jesus and for souls. The greatest saints who made great reparation for the sins of the world do not compare in merit to the Heart of Mary. She was created full of grace far surpassing the grace of all the saints and angels combined. Our Blessed Mother surpassed all other souls in charity from the moment of Her conception because She was conceived Immaculate and full of grace! It is hard to imagine that we are all created to give God glory but fall short. His entire creation gives glory...the stars, the moon, the sun, the planets, all living beings on earth. We should all be beaming with love for God YET many souls which are so precious to Him…..turn aside from God and do not EVER love Him. More than that many blaspheme Him, are cold to Him, are indifferent to Him and sin against Him their entire lives. When we meditate on the sufferings of Christ in His entire Passion from the Agony in the Garden to the Crucifixion; we can also meditate on the love Our Blessed Mother had for Her Son and how She keenly felt all of His pain both physical and spiritual because of Her perfect soul and because She was so united to the Will of God. We can honestly say that She suffered more keenly than any stigmatist has ever suffered. Mary became the Queen of Martyrs because, after Jesus, She has endured the greatest martyrdom in Her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Because of Her Immaculate Heart, She acquired more merit by Her simplest actions than all the martyrs achieved by their most difficult and painful deeds. How then can we ever estimate the value of Mary’s compassion and sufferings at the foot of the cross? How can anyone ever imagine that She is NOT the Co-Redemptrix of the human race??? Can any human deny this? Very sad to say, those who do not know of the Passion of Jesus and the Passion of Mary at the foot of the cross can deny this! Mary at the foot of the cross gave Her fiat just as She did at the Annunciation. In union with Her Son, She TOO became a victim for us, a victim conscious of the gravity of the offenses to be expiated, a victim of boundless generosity, not only giving Her whole self BUT offering Her only Son….so much dearer to Her than life itself! Because Mary was so pure and immaculate and with no need for reparation for Herself, She was an absolute innocent victim who offered to God expiation all the more acceptable to Him and profitable for mankind. Her whole spiritual treasure has become ours….the Church’s treasure where we can obtain its fruits and indulgences. Mary bore the pains of spiritual childbirth when Jesus confided to Her the motherhood of our race in the person of St. John: “Son,” said Jesus to John, “behold your Mother,” and to Mary, “Woman, behold your son.” Mary no longer physically suffers in Heaven but is continually praying for us...Her children. She is our Queen and our Mother and will help each and every child here on earth who reaches out to Her. It is a condition to receive Her help that She receive our prayers for ourselves and the entire world. Our prayers are critical for Her to be a true Mother and be able to help more children. It is only through our prayer and sacrifice that She can help us. All the graces that She obtains from God, She dispenses to Her children….thus becoming the Mediatrix of All Graces. Can anyone deny this title to Her??? Looks like some ignorant of these facts can. We can conclude that having a true devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary means that we are predestined to Heaven. Why? Mary will see to it that we repent of our sins before death and that we not only do that but serve Her as Her children by offering our prayers and sacrifices for the sins of others as well….thus bringing to Heaven more souls to please the Heart of Jesus. May we live our consecration to Jesus through Mary by doing all in imitation of Her and begging Her to show us the way to Jesus and to guide us to His Most Sacred Heart. Who better knows this way to His Heart than the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. She has been completely united to Him in ALL OF HIS SORROWS….making Her both Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces. ADDED THOUGHT.... One of my favorite meditations is...NOT ONLY the fact that The Heavenly Father created Mary for Jesus to be born into this world and to die on the cross for our sins BUT it is also amazing and beautiful that Mary is THE ONLY SOUL that has fulfilled the true Will of God perfectly by being united to Him ALWAYS. She has also given constant PURE ADORATION to God where all other humans fail...and even if we do adore...it is not as perfect as the Adoration coming from Our Queen and Mother. It is an amazing thought that at least ONE SOUL HAS LOVED GOD AS IT WAS INTENDED TO...BUT it is also a great sorrow that we as a human race fall short and are so very imperfect..and even if the ENTIRE human race were to fail....The Most Holy Trinity has MARY!!!!!...We must remember while still on this earth..... we EACH have a free will to offer God more...can we offer Him more??….Holy Mother Mary, help us to love God with Your Heart!! Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... I did not know if I was going to be able to post anything today. I had a router problem and no internet for four days....great days to do more spiritual reading! Tomorrow is the blessed Feast of the Annunciation. This is the day that St. Louis de Montfort recommended that we Consecrate ourselves to Her Immaculate Heart and become Hers in time and in eternity! After all, it was this day that Jesus Himself became Hers!! If we are to live in imitation of Jesus and be true Christians....there is no other way....and no surer way to Heaven! May we live with Mary always and may She always draw us closer to Her Son Jesus daily! Below are some writings of St. Louis deMontfort taken from "True Devotion to Mary".... First text: “Those who undertake this holy slavery should have a special devotion to the great mystery of the Incarnation of the Word. Indeed, the Incarnation is the mystery proper to this practice, insomuch as it is a devotion inspired by the Holy Ghost: * First, to honor and imitate the ineffable dependence that God the Son was pleased to have on Mary, for His Father’s glory and our salvation. This dependence appears in a particular way in this mystery, where Our Lord Jesus Christ is a captive and a slave in the bosom of the Most Holy Virgin, and depends on her for all things. * Second, to thank God for the incomparable graces He has given Mary, and particularly for having chosen her to be His most worthy Mother, the choice which was made in this mystery.” (True Devotion to Mary, Montfort Publications, 1975, p. 165). Second text: “Time does not permit me to explain here the greatness and grandeurs of the mystery of Jesus living in Mary, in other words, the Incarnation of the Word. I will content myself to say these few words. We have here the first mystery of Jesus Christ – the most hidden, the most exalted, and the least known. It is in this mystery that Jesus, in concert with Mary, has chosen all the elect. For this reason, her womb is called by the saints aula sacramentorum, the room of the secrets of God. From this mystery, He has wrought all the subsequent mysteries of His life …. Hence, this mystery is the summation of all mysteries and contains the will and grace of all. Finally, this mystery is the throne of the mercy, the liberality, and the glory of God.” (Ibid., p. 167) I will conclude with the plea of Mary Herself to Mother Mary Agreda in the "City of God." Our Lady told Mother Mary Agreda that the greatest prayer we can say and that pleases Her the most are prayers of thanksgiving to the Eternal Father for ALL that He has chosen to give us through Her Immaculate Heart! At this time in history where there is so much evil and it seems that Satan is winning the battle, may we focus on the great graces that God has afforded us ...especially through Mary. May we be truly thankful for Jesus, for all the graces we have received and will receive. May we be thankful for the coming promised Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart! May we live in joy and great hope! Blessed be the Most Holy Trinity...now and forever! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Ite ad Joseph - Go to Joseph, he has the treasures of Jesus in his hands through the prayers and intercession of his spouse Our Blessed Mother!! We know St. Joseph is the Patron of the Universal Church thus making him the guardian of the Holy Eucharist since while on earth....he was the guardian of Jesus (and Mary). There is so much to ask St. Joseph for today and always. As the Patron of the Universal Church....may we pray to him to ask the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to pour forth many graces into our souls and into the souls of all those who are our leaders. May he protect our priests so that they will be holy and give us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass where we can receive the true Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some traditions in the Church compare St. Joseph (Guardian of the Most Blessed Sacrament) to St. Joseph of the Old Testament who stored grains and helped carry the people through the seven year famine. Below is a video explaining a third feast day that is also given to St. Joseph and celebrated in some communities especially the Carmelites...this year it will be April 22 which is the Weds before the Third Sunday of Easter. The history of this moveable feast is below. Reasons for honoring St. Joseph: Holy Church honors St. Joseph through a special devotion in his role as Spouse of Mary and adoptive Father of Christ. In those days, God charged him to provide for the various needs of the Holy Family, and that is the reason why the faithful confidently recommend themselves to him in their temporal necessities. Since St. Joseph was the Head and Protector of the Holy Family, he was proclaimed Patron of the Universal Church by the Blessed Pope Pius IX on the 8th of December 1870. We especially invoke St. Joseph on account of his admirable purity in order to obtain or partake of this beautiful virtue. He is patron of the interior life because he spent his life in the company of Jesus and Mary: a life of union with God, a life of faith, of humility and of work thus is he the patron and model of workers. He is moreover, the patron of a good and holy death, since he had the blessing of dying in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Very important today is the fact that he is also called "Terror of Demons". We have so many demons roaming the earth and together with Our Lady and Her Rosary...may we ask him to thrust into hell all the demons causing havoc in the world spreading world atheism even within the walls of the Universal Church! St. Joseph pray for us and defend us against these demons! Below is a beautiful prayer - God bless and Happy St. Joseph Day!! St. Teresa of Avila, pray to St. Joseph for us! Holy Mother Mary, intercede with St. Joseph for us during these very trying times in the Roman Catholic Church! PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH OFTEN RECITED AFTER THE ROSARY To you, O blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction, and, having implored the help of your thrice holy spouse, we now with hearts filled with confidence earnestly beg you also to take us under your protection. By that charity, where you were united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which you did cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech you and we humbly pray, that you will look down with gracious eyes, upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His blood, and will aid us in our need by your power and strength. Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, O most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And even as of old you did rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God's holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under your patronage, that, following your example, and strengthened by your help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen. Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
I am not posting a picture because it is above this article and this post is long but needed in a world grown cold! Ihave posted tomorrows information for the last week of study of this Consecration under Formation Heading (and link below). The below information is on the Cross which is the greatest act of love done for humankind. It is a great mystery which many die never fully understanding it nor even come close to wanting to. The study of Jesus for the St. Louis deMontfort Consecration does emphasize the love of the Cross and the relation to the Holy Eucharist. Below is a little review. May we keep each other in prayer during these final days before our renewal or our first Consecration. We need this Consecration NOW more than ever. Without Our Lady....we will never make it to the foot of the cross....we should desire to be like St. John and be at the foot of the cross with Mary...Our Mother. Those who do NOT have a TRUE devotion to Mary will scatter in fear in the coming days and years as we witness the Passion of Jesus' Bride....the Church. Many are leaving...scared...confused...upset....just like the crucifixion of Jesus over 2000 years ago. May we cling to Our Lady and ask Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix to take us as Her children and make us Her own. Is it any wonder that the enemy of the Church would want these titles stripped from Our Queen and Mother???? Let us wipe the Face of Jesus with our prayers of Reparation and cling to His Mother whom He gave to all of us at the foot of the Cross.....God bless! (I listen to the book on tape of Anne Catherine Emmerich's Passion of Jesus during Lent...a suggestion for this week and the remainder of Lent...link below...God bless) THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST Those who truly love Jesus want to share in His sufferings. They want to know His Heart. They want to comfort His Heart. This is who Mary is. Our Consecration will lead us to experience this sharing of the “cross”. One cannot be united to Christ if we are not united to the cross. Jesus cannot be seen in this life without the cross. It gives Jesus consolation to know that He can share this passion of horrible human ingratitude with His Eucharistic souls. It is a means of reparation. If we truly love Him and want to console Him whom we love, how can we deny Him the gift of ourselves in sharing in His passion. We must ask Him like St. Francis of Assisi to not be allowed to die without sharing in that love for the salvation of souls by uniting ourselves to Jesus' Passion for the glory of the Father. The highest love for the Father is the complete accomplishment of His Will in the perfect and personal participation by every soul in the sacrifice of Jesus. Since Mary was the only soul who perfectly accomplished this union with Jesus on the cross, it is only wise to seek to accomplish this ourselves with Her, in Her and by Her. To love the Cross, we must see Jesus on it and understand the personal and indestructible ties that bind Him to it. To love the Cross, we must experience the sweet and strong attraction which Jesus Crucified exercises over souls, as He Himself promised in John 12:32 when He said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to Myself.” When man is abandoned to himself, he hates pain but when the fire of the Holy Spirit burns within his soul, there is nothing he loves so intensely. It seems like madness but that madness is the madness of a God in love, who willed to die for us and who left on earth this sublime folly for us to share in. The Holy Spirit, who communicates the science of the cross and infuses love for it in souls; also gives to chosen souls a participation in it according to His loving designs. We must remember that martyrdom itself without love means nothing. Hell is suffering but it is sterile, desolate and full of despair. In order for sacrifice to have value, it must be the fruit of love and to have infinite value, it must be the fruit of infinite love. All the souls who wish to share in the sacrifice of Jesus, all who wish like Him to offer themselves to the Father in their Holy Communions must offer themselves through the Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit with His Spouse, Mary who unites our poor sorrows with the infinite sorrows of Jesus, mingles our blood with the Divine Blood, nails us to the Cross with the Divine Victim and fuses our hearts with the Divine Heart of Jesus. It is important to understand that the Eucharist is the sacrifice of Calvary – the sublime mystery of the Cross. (Which is why the attack on the Latin Mass - the world (led by Satan) hates the Cross) Jesus unites with us in the Eucharist and asks us to prolong His Passion, His martyrdom, His immolation to “complete what is lacking to the Passion of Christ” Col 1:24. The crucifixion of Christ, in anyone who is His member, is fruitful, supremely fruitful in obtaining graces of salvation for souls and for glorifying the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ to whom belongs all honor and glory. In conclusion, when Jesus left the earth to go to the Father, He wanted to stay with us until the consummation of the world, so He instituted His Sacrament of Love – the Eucharist. When we partake of this great Sacrament, we are called to be Eucharistic souls, like Mary. We partake in the sufferings of Christ on the cross as He cries “I thirst”. We are called to be Jesus in the world but since Jesus was formed in the Immaculate Womb of Mary, we cannot nor will we be formed by the Holy Spirit other than in this same pure Womb of our Heavenly Mother - mystically. In order for Mary to form Jesus within us, we must imitate Her loving abandonment, Her immaculate purity and her hidden life of prayer. We must always say, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to Your Word.” During this week, may we pray the Angelus (hopefully three times at 6 am, noon, and 6 pm) as our Novena before this great Feast Day of the Annunciation and our Consecration. During these trying days in the world and in the Church, may we truly be motivated to take Our Mother's hand and allow Her to lead us to Jesus....to the Eucharist...to the Cross. This is why the attacks on the true Mass. Satan knows where Jesus is and how souls are saved from him. With Our Lady, we can feel confident that She will guide us through these storms. St. Louis deMontfort predicted these days and how ONLY those in the company of Mary will make it to the foot of the Cross...all others will hide in fear. St. John was the only apostle standing with Mary. She has been appointed to crush the head of the serpent! Let us make this Consecration with true confidence and complete love and surrender to the Divine Heart of Jesus.....for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.....and let us make a REAL THANKSGIVING TO THE ETERNAL FATHER FOR THE GREAT GIFT OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER AND HIS DIVINE SON WHO TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF THE SINS OF THE WORLD AND DIED ON A CROSS FOR US! WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR....AND HOPEFUL FOR! Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces, pray for us! Our Lady, Co-Redemptrix, THANK YOU! Greetings in Jesus and Mary, My purpose in writing about this is because I would like to compare the Traditional Latin Mass goers with the people of the Vendee region of France. The Vendeans were solidly Catholic …. mostly peasant farmers. They had the influence of St. Louis Marie DeMontfort who was from the same area. They refused the religious attacks that the new French Republic (Freemasons) were thrusting upon the entire country. (details in the link below..too many to record). The story of the Vendee is read by Michael Davies below...it starts a little dry but PLEASE listen to this...it is the evil we see today by the Freemasons...THEN they killed this entire region...TODAY they have mutilated our Faith...our children are scandalized...GOOD priests are defrocked...Catholic schools closed...parishes CLOSED....etc...you know what is happening now...compare this to this story of the killing of priests, women, children and men. Pay attention to what they did physically did to LIFE to the sacrament of MARRIAGE and BAPTISM...and compare to what they do now. IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO...THIS IS LENT...ENDURE THE SHOCK AND MAKE REPARATION! Here we are in 2026 and the attacks by the Freemasons now are coming from within the Church. They have penetrated the walls of the Vatican for some time now and they have thrust their “New Church” upon us. We are now witnessing the final days of their so-called plan (Alta Vendita ….blueprint to destroy the Catholic Church). It is in its final stage. The Freemasons, when they wrote the Alta Vendita knew that this would take a number of years to accomplish but were willing to do the work of Satan. We did have Popes that wrote against the Freemasons and warned us to warn our children so that generations of Catholics would be aware and guard their Faith. These modernist infiltrators ONLY look to their Vatican II changes...everything else is null and void. All must claim allegiance to the new Constitutions of the New Republic (like the French Revolution). These modernists ONLY look to their "NEW" Mass and will NEVER accept the unbloody Holy Sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary being offered at a pre-Vatican II Mass. They want it dead and all those who celebrate it also gone. The attacks on the Mass, its priests, its people are a NEW VENDEE revolution massacre. A bit of history.......Jesus asked for the Consecration of France to His Sacred Heart on June 17, 1689, through revelations to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque at Paray-le-Monial. He requested that King Louis XIV consecrate the nation, place the Sacred Heart on his royal banner, and build a church in its honor. THE CONSEQUENCE....almost 100 years to the day, the French Revolution began, July 14, 1789…..because the King of France denied Jesus this Consecration and his grandson received the guillotine...and the rest of the world received the Freemasonic influences. Presently, we have a parallel. ….Sr. Lucia received the specific request for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary from the Virgin Mary on June 13, 1929, during an apparition in Tuy, Spain. This fulfilled a promise made during the July 13, 1917, apparition at Fátima, where the request was first mentioned as part of a message to prevent the spread of Russia's errors. We know the Consecration was never done properly and they had the chance to do it in 1960 when the Third Secret was SUPPOSE to be revealed and it would have been possible since the Vatican was full of prelates for the Second Vatican Council in 1962….but NO...another disobedience. THE CONSEQUENCE, We are seeing the death of the Roman Catholic Church without the bayonets...but just with lukewarmness and obedience to stupidity and decrees from Rome that go contrary to the Catholic Teachings of the Church. Will we see a final blow in 2029 when the Synod of Synodality is proposed to be released with its final decrees? Will the New Vendeans rise up and fight for Jesus Christ and His True Church? We have seen so much destruction since 1960...and the Freemasons must be jubilant …. and the Hearts of Jesus and Mary suffer because of the silence and complacency of His Shepherds and His flock. WHERE ARE THE TRUE SOLDIERS? Some quotes from the “champions” of the Second Vatican Council…. Cardinal Suenens (Freemason) exclaimed, “Vatican II is the French Revolution in the Church. He also stated, “One cannot understand the French or the Russian revolutions unless one knows something of the old regimes which they brought to an end… It is the same in church affairs: a reaction can only be judged in relation to the state f things that preceded it” Also, “The Second Vatican Council marked the end of an epoch; and if we stand back from it a little more we see it marked the end of a series of epochs, the end of an age”. Fr. Congar stated, “The Church has had, peacefully, its October Revolution.” He also stated, “The Declaration on Religious Liberty states the opposite of the Syllabus.” Fr. Gelineau stated, “The reform decided on by the Second Vatican Council was the signal for the thaw… Entire structures have come crashing down… Make no mistake about it. To translate is not to say the same thing with other words. It is to change the form. If the form changes, the rite changes. If one element is changed, the totality is altered.., of must be said, without mincing words, the Roman rite we used to know exists no more. It has been destroyed.” There were true soldiers of Christ...16 Carmelite nuns that ENDED THE FRENCH REVOLUTION by offering their lives to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to end this. Can we too end this Revolution? May we offer, this Lent and always, REPARATION AGAINST THESE FREEMASONS WHO CURRENTLY HEAD OUR ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH... (Link below of sisters story) Every Catholic today needs to do his homework...Read or listen to the Open Letter to Confused Catholics...(Chapter 14 is about this Revolution on the Church.) May we remain diligent in our Lenten practices, Go to the Latin Mass while we still have them. Pray the Rosary, Pray the Prayers of Reparation of Fatima and the Holy Face, offer up our daily duty to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. REMEMBER THAT IN THE END...HER IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH….But until then...there will be suffering for all the sins committed against the Bride of Christ and their disobedience to Our Lord’s commands. Be humble...pride kills. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Martyrs of the Vendee, pray for us! All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us! O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration thine! |
