![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Tomorrow starts the very powerful Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus. The Feast Day is always Shrove Tuesday - the day before Ash Wednesday which means the date changes each year. This is a Carmelite devotion that offers Reparation - therefore it is highly recommended to do. I have added a new section under "Devotions" at the top with information on the Novena and various prayers - (link below for easy access). There are so many graces given to this devotion that it can not be more highly encouraged for as many to participate as possible. We need the miraculous intervention of the Most Holy Face of Jesus Devotion! PROMISES 1) By my Holy Face you shall work miracles! 2) By my Holy Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners! 3) Nothing that you ask in making this offering will be refused to you. 4) If you knew how pleasing the sight of My Face is to My Father. 5) As in a kingdom you can procure all you wish for with a coin marked with the King's effigy so in the Kingdom of Heaven you will obtain all you desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face. 6) Our Lord has promised me that He will imprint His divine likeness on the souls of those who honor His most Holy Countenance. 7) All those who honor My Holy Face in a spirit of reparation will, by so doing, perform the office of the pious Veronica. 8) According to the care you take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemies, so will I take care of yours, which has been disfigured by sin. I will reprint therein My image and render it as beautiful as it was on leaving the Baptismal font. 9) Our Lord promised me that all those who defend His cause in this work of reparation, by words, by prayers, or in writing, He will defend them before His Father, at their death He will purify their souls by effacing all the blots of sins and will restore to them their primitive beauty. The Veil of Veronica is a precious relic of the Catholic Church which is preserved and venerated at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Over the course of years, the Church has permitted certain other images of the Holy Face to be touched to this True Image in Rome and has given to the faithful who venerate them the same indulgences as if they were to kneel before the actual Veil of Veronica in Rome when it is on display. These “copies” of the actual Veil of Veronica bear a red wax seal on the lower portion of the picture. The image here is one such copy which was given to Leo Dupont (early 19th century) and before which he burned an oil lamp as a sign of his love. The Image of the Holy Face of Jesus on the Veil of Veronica is very expressive of the love of the Heart of Jesus for us! See how much He loves us that He would allow Himself to be mistreated so! Yet the image on Veronica’s Veil also preserves the memory of the love which Veronica had for Jesus in braving an angry crowd of people hostile to Jesus. It was Our Lord’s way of showing how pleased He was with her act of courage and devotion. What will Our Lord fail to do for us if we honor Him with a like devotion? How many miracles of grace will He not perform through His Holy Face to touch our hearts and the hearts of our loved ones and draw us closer to Himself? Join us during this Novena to give Him the love and gratitude which are due to Him as our merciful Savior and Redeemer. Below is a little history but please visit the Devotions section on this website for more and for the actual Novena. In Tours, France a young Carmelite nun, Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre (1816-1848), received a series of revelations in the 1840s from Our Lord about a powerful devotion He wished to be established worldwide – the devotion to his Holy Face. The express purpose of this devotion was to make reparation for the blasphemies and outrages of the ‘revolutionaries’ of that time, the blasphemies of atheists, freethinkers and Masons, and for blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays by Catholics. We read in her autobiography: “Then He unfolded His Heart to me, concentrating therein the powers of my soul, and addressed me thus: ‘My Name is everywhere blasphemed; even little children blaspheme it.’ And He made me understand how that dreadful sin pierced and wounded His Heart more than all other crimes. “By blasphemy, the sinner outrages Him to His Face, attacks Him openly, and pronounces upon himself his own judgment and condemnation. Blasphemy is a poisoned arrow, wounding His Divine Heart continually. He told me that He would give me a “Golden Arrow” with which to wound Him delightfully and heal the poisonous wounds caused by sin.” Our Lord then dictated to Sr. Mary the following Golden Arrow prayer, assuring her that every time she said it, she would lovingly wound His Heart. THE GOLDEN ARROW May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in Heaven, on earth and in under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen. Our Lord told Sr. Mary on March 16, 1844: “Oh if you only knew what great merit you acquire by saying even once, ‘Admirable is the Name of God!’ in the spirit of reparation for blasphemy.”

![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary... The burning issue for us who follow the Fatima message is the convincing of our fellow Catholics that the spiritual renewal of all of us is the urgent answer in this critical hour. Even the secular world senses that we are at the precipice of self-destruction. Our Lady came to Fatima to give us the solution to this wandering away from Her Son. One of the reasons for Her coming to Fatima was to be revealed in 1960 by Pope John XXIII in the Third Secret. He read it and said it may NEVER be read to the world. WHAT WAS IT? (There is a documentary below done awhile ago with an update done 15 years ago following that documentary..... two videos) It is obvious to all of us now that we have witnessed what has transpired over the years since 1917. We have seen the pieces of the puzzle; and the puzzle is almost complete. The Freemasons have written a blueprint before 1917 to destroy the Catholic Church because it belongs to Jesus Christ and is the moral compass for the world. Two months before Our Lady came to Fatima was the start of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in March 1917. This was the launch of communism. Satan and his minions have infiltrated the Church with these errors and brought it to this point that we see now. The Fatima message calls us to make reparation and pray for sinners so that wars may be averted. Our Lady told us that wars are allowed by God as a punishment for sin. The formula given to us at Fatima is the instrument which is to crush the serpent's head, and bring about the coming triumph of Jesus Christ through Her Immaculate Heart. Obviously, Satan had infiltrated the Vatican to such a point that it has silenced Fatima, locked up the Third Secret in its archives, put the real Sr. Lucia away and brought out an imposter that would go along with their lies. They silenced Fr. Gruner and gave us Fr. Fox to take his place and play his cards right by only stating what the Vatican deemed worthy to repeat of the Fatima message to keep the masses happy. And last but not least.....the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart has been thrwarted and never done the way she had wanted it. (During the Vatican II sessions....this could have easily been done with the Bishops being there.) Consequently, it has been hidden, treated with contempt, rejected by God's chosen people ........as was the Messiah Himself! But Our Lady herself has forshadowed its appearance and its success. It will be embraced by the generality of Catholics and many non-Catholics....at some point in history. It will bring about the Triumph of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart and the era of the true peace that is to come. What will this new Christian social order, referred to in so many prophecies , be like? It will be an age of mass conversions, as St. Louis predicted, with vast numbers of the non-Christian races enbracing Christianity. This will be a golden age of Mary and will allow Christians to carry their crosses with far more ease, with far more merit and far more glory. Enlightened as to the shortest, easiest, most perfect and secure path to Jesus, modern man will travel this "via immaculata" with great strides, without retracing his steps, with lights and graces unknown to those who try to reach perfection in other ways. This then, is the new City of Man which lies just over the horizon, beyond, perhaps, the dark clouds of Satan's final triumph. This is the great age which is being brought closer to us with every consecration of a soul to Mary's Immaculate Heart, with every resolution of a soul to pray and do penance as Our Lady so urgently begged us to do at Fatima. .... May we resolve to be a part of this hope and become true Children of Mary by being obedient to her requests at Fatima......pray the Rosary, Consecrate yourselves by wearing the Brown Scapular, offer the Reparation Prayers, practice the First Saturdays and love Our Lord truly present the Blessed Sacrament! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! St. Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta, pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... First, I would like to say that there is news that Papa Bergoglio is not in good health at the hospital.....it is amazing that this is happening to him at a time when the crimes of Rome are slowly but surely being released to the world. HE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS AND SACRIFICES FOR HIS DEATH-BED CONVERSION! May we be a part of those prayers which are needed immediately! Now to the bad news! We have already heard of the scandalous things of the past with Cardinal McCarrick, the Obama Admin. and the Vatican's connections to the NGO's which fund human trafficking, immigration, etc. (Links below) Archbishop Vigano has asked that the CIA investigate the findings of DOGE and the NGO's linked to the Vatican. This is very scandalous for all Catholics and I pray that all of you keep the Faith and know that we are called to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as true Catholics trying to live a life of grace for the glory of God. We must not let this news break us or family members. If you experience a temptation to give up on your Faith or see it happen to others....pray to Our Lady who is appointed to crush the head of the serpent! Pray that She protect all Catholics as this news breaks out! May we remain faithful to God and our Catholic Faith and do not let Satan win. Yesterday was Septuagesima Sunday. It comes from the Latin for "seventieth." It falls roughly within 70 days of Easter Sunday. It is the third Sunday before Lent. In the traditional calendar, we prepare ourselves for Lent for the three weeks leading up to it. This is a Lent that we need to truly take seriously... START NOW. May we pray to make good resolutions and pray to Our Lady to keep them. Pray for the Church during this massive crisis.....which has been going on for decades but is now coming (WE PRAY) CLOSE to an end. Let us pray for it to be replaced with a renewal! Please sign the Petition Link Below to STOP FUNDING NGO's linked to the Vatican. Tomorrow I will post how the 3rd Secret of Fatima was Silenced.....now we know why. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary....pray for us! ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... I will begin with a thanks to all of you who may have said a prayer for my daughter Theresa who was expecting on Feb. 11th. She gave birth to a baby boy Emeric at 9 PM that night. Praise be to God and the prayers of our Blessed Mother....may Our Lady grant the parents the grace to baptize him (and his sister) in this Jubilee Year. There is a St. Emeric. He was the son of St. Stephen in Hungary and both were canonized together as St. Emeric died young at 24 from an accident but there are reported miracles at his grave site so he was deemed worthy of canonization with his father. Now to the headlines.....A link is below informing us of Papa Bergoglio's recent trip to the hospital today because of his on-going bronchitis. As we know, he has a part of a lung missing from an operation in his 20's. Being 88 with this condition is miraculous. He has had on-going breathing problems and loss of balance for the past few months. (details in the article linked below). This post is to ask all to consider praying for his conversion before he is called to the next life. He must answer for alot and we must pray for his repentance and make reparation for his actions. There is no doubt about that. We have solid evidence that he has made many decisions that are the result of multiple souls lost. May we be consumed with daily prayers and rosaries for him as the probability of see him being taken from us this Jubilee Year are great. May we also pray for a holy replacement. I am sure that they already know who is going to replace him; but God is in charge. If we are to suffer still with a lack of leadership......know that it is allowed by God as a chastisement to His Church that has turned away from Him and deserve more pain for reparation. May we live in the hope of the reign of the Immaculate Heart and a renewal in the Catholic Church that will come.......some day! We may not deserve to see this immediately but may we endure the sorrows and pains that it will take to repair for our past sins before we see this glorious day! Our prayers, sacrifices and penances can bring this day closer! If some may wonder why I always call him Papa Bergoglio, it is because I am convinced that he was never canonically elected as our Pope. I am not in a position to say what that means. I only know that we are to be faithful to the TRUE TEACHINGS of the Catholic Faith....to pray with great charity for him and to wait to see what God has in store for His Church which He has not abandoned....nor will He. The Remnant Catholic Church may be very small now but it DOES exists! We may very soon see a time where we have to go underground. We know that we have many apostate Bishops and maybe another Apostate Pope soon. We may have to go underground to have holy priests offer the Latin Mass and give us the sacraments as in the days of old under similar circumstances to certain regions of the earth......we may NOW see a global underground! May we be prepared for this day....physically, spiritually and emotionally! I encourage all to read about the Catholics who endured the Reign of Queen Elizabeth 1. The heroic Catholics who opened their homes to Latin Masses and were punished, if caught, along with the priests who came to offer the Mass. GET YOUR HOMES AND HEARTS READY!!! Below is a video of how to set up for Mass...pay attention to what is used and you may want to consider obtaining these things in your home now before it is too hard to obtain later. Many Catholics are already prepared for this day! "O Heart of my dearest Jesus, most worthy of my love and adoration, with an ardent desire to atone for the great and numberless outrages committed against You, especially in the Blessed Sacrament, I offer and consecrate to You, in union with Mary and through Mary, my heart with all its sentiments, love and affections. O Holy Mother of God, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, pray that my union with my indwelling God may daily grow more and more intimate, and that the Holy Spirit may here on earth transform me in and through Your Immaculate Heart into a living image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Eternal Father, give me the grace to be inflamed with the fire of Divine Love, and to love Mary ardently, as Her most devoted children have ever loved Her so that She may lead me to Your Son Jesus Christ in the most perfect way." O Most Holy Trinity, please give graces to Papa Bergoglio to make a death-bed conversion before you call him to his judgement. May Our Lady intercede for him so that She may beg you for the graces needed for his repentance and conversion to Your Love. We ask this through the merits of Your Son Jesus Christ and of Our Holy Mother Mary. Please be merciful to his soul. Amen. ![]() Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... I have been away from this website for awhile and I apologize. I live in the woods and depend on a small device for my internet service because satellite does not work well out here. Well, my device went bad and the service to get it replaced was bad. I was beginning to think the worst. BUT I AM BACK! There is a great Verizon rep here in town locally and could help me far better than the reps on line. Blessed Feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes - one day late! Our Lady came to give us the message of prayer and penance. It is a message for today as well! I was fortunate to get to Mass at the Carmelite Monastery even though we were getting snow and the roads were not good.....Our Lady protected me and got me there with a little extra time. Thank you, good Mother! This is the Jubilee Year now with many graces available to all of us. We need to get MORE serious and take advantage of these graces with more prayer, fasting, pilgrimages (plan one! Even if it is local), Eucharistic Adoration and many more Masses - especially at those locations designated by your diocese for Jubilee indulgence locations. (Each diocese has a list - check it out). We have some heartbreaking news from Michael Matt from the Remnant (link below). This is pertaining to the activities in the Middle East and Trump's involvement. USA was involved to a huge degree (158 billion in military aid since 1948) before Trump got in and is now asked to keep the ball rolling. We are run by the Zionists here in America and have been for years. Listen below! America first or Israel first??? Also, there is bad news for Detroit's newly appointed Bishop! Article below from Lifesite News. This will not be good for those who wish to be true Catholics by attending the Latin Mass. Heaven only knows what he will do to that after you read this woke article below. I moved farther north from the Detroit Diocese. so I am no longer a part of it. although I am still registered at the St. Joseph Shrine in Detroit so that we can participate there while we visit our adult kids who still live there. Also, I hope to be buried from that parish someday.....God willing! We know that God is in charge! All things happen for a reason but we need to increase our prayers so that the just chastisements coming to the different parts of the world will be mitigated or lessened. Especially pray for the salvation of souls with the prayer.....Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls!! I am praying that with the USCCB being defunded by the US Federal Government that we will see less activity by our woke bishops. I pray God is allowing this to wean away from the troubles that have erupted since Vatican II and make room for us to go back to Tradition and the True Catholic Church. May Our Lady lead us back to Jesus and away from illegal immigration and climate change! I hope to write more this week from my studies and readings and to make up for lost time. May all of you have a blessed day and keep all of this in prayer. May we live for GOD ALONE as Our Lady did and beg Her to teach us how to pray! Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us! PS --- My daughter Theresa is expected her third child (a boy) any day now. Please say a little pray for a healthy delivery, mom and baby. THANK YOU! |
