Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

The question of the day.....who are we to be obedient to? This is a very important question since we have so many world and Church leaders that believe good is evil and evil is good. We are at that phase in history where everything is turned upside down and we are left CONFUSED...to say the least!

Below is a link to a substack article from Diane Montagne, a Catholic journalist. She is giving a direct address from Bishop Athanasius Schneider to Pope Leo XVI titled:  
A Fraternal Appeal to Pope Leo XIV to Build a Bridge with the Priestly Society of St. Pius X
This text is very long so the link is below for you to view....here are just some clips from it to give you an idea of what is contained in Bishop Schneider’s appeal to Pope Leo XIV. I truly advise you to read it in its entirety....it gives Church history on this and is written very clearly for all to understand that we are in a crisis and IT COMES FROM ROME!  AGAIN....I REPEAT....COULD THIS BE THE CONTENT OF THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA!......A CRISIS IN THE CHURCH WHICH STARTED IN THE 60's WHEN THE SECRET WAS TO BE REVEALED BUT WAS NOT?

"The following words of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre are deeply moving and reflect the attitude of the current leadership and most members of the SSPX:

“We believe in Peter, we believe in the successor of Peter! But as Pope Pius IX says well in his dogmatic constitution, the pope has received the Holy Ghost not to make new truths, but to maintain us in the faith of all time. This is the definition of the Pope made at the time of the First Vatican Council by Pope Pius IX. And that is why we are persuaded that in maintaining these traditions we are manifesting our love, our docility, our obedience to the Successor of Peter. We cannot remain indifferent before the degradation of faith, morals, and the liturgy. That is out of the question! We do not want to separate ourselves from the Church; on the contrary, we want the Church to continue!”

The acceptance of papal primacy as a revealed truth is often confused with the concrete forms—forms that have evolved throughout history—through which a bishop expresses his hierarchical unity with the Pope. To believe in the Papal Primacy, to acknowledge the actual Pope, to adhere with him to all that the Church has taught infallibly and definitively, and to observe the validity of the sacramental liturgy, is of divine right. Yet, a reductive view that equates disobedience to a papal command with schism—even in the case of a bishop’s consecration performed against his will—was foreign to the Church Fathers and to traditional canon law. For example, in 357, St. Athanasius disobeyed the order of Pope Liberius, who instructed him to enter into hierarchical communion with the overwhelming majority of the episcopate, which was in fact Arian or semi-Arian. As a result, he was excommunicated. In this instance, St. Athanasius disobeyed out of love for the Church and for the honor of the Apostolic See, seeking precisely to safeguard the purity of doctrine from any suspicion of ambiguity.

​Extra...related to this subject...regarding  Cardinal Sarrah

Greetings in Jesus and Mary!

Today is the Monday after the First Sunday of Lent! Lots is happening in the world and in the Church. May we keep to our prayers and fasting and mortifications!

Michael Matt just posted a great podcast on his RemnantTV. I have it posted below.

I am also posting an audiobook of "Open Letter to Confused Catholics". This was printed 1986 and you would think it was printed today...well .....almost... because there is ALOT happening in the Catholic Church today that far exceeds the corruption of the past. The bottom line is....this was written barely 20 years since the Second Vatican Council and the fruits of it were already being recognized.....and they are more recognizable today.

I would like to restate here....as I do when I am on this subject....that Our Lady wanted the Third Secret of Fatima to be revealed in 1960 because She said it would be more understood at that time. Pope John XXIII read it and said that it does not relate to his pontificate and then put it in the archives stating that it may NEVER be read.

We all know that Pope John Paul II "revealed" it in 2000 and claimed it had something to do with his attempted assasination. REALLY....after Our Lady said it would be more clear in 1960. It is obvious to all of us NOW that it had everything to do with the Apostasy that we see today. .... THE GREAT FALLING AWAY! The taking away of the Mass and giving us a Protestant Community Meal without a Sacrifice as well as altering EVERYTHING which proved devastating. Of course, Our Blessed Mother would want to warn us!!

Michael Matt mentions St. Edmond Campion, one of the early English Martyrs who died for the Mass and his priesthood against Queen Elizabeth who OUTLAWED the Catholic Latin Mass and punished anyone with treason if CAUGHT offering it or participating in it. Punishments varied from fines, lost land, maimed on the rack, imprisonment, death by hanging and being hung, drawn and quartered like Fr. Edmond Campion was for being caught offering the Eternal Father the Mass of Ages!

We all need to educate ourselves of this Church history and know what is going on today and take the words of advice from Bishop Strickland which are to fortify ourselves with the sacraments, prayer and fasting in order to ENDURE what is coming to all of us if we do not turn back to Truth and repent of our sins.

Post thought....As we can see from studying Catholic history, Satan has always been attacking the Mass which is the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus being offered to the Eternal Father by the priest (in the person of Christ). If Satan attacks the Mass....there is no offering....if he attacks the priest....there is no victim to offer this sacrifice.  In the eyes of the enemy BOTH have to be destroyed. The thinkings of ALL the Protestants since Luther have been to give us a community meal in the place of a sacrifice. (listen to the audiobook) The Freemasons who wrote the "Alta Vendita" (blueprint to destroy the Catholic Church) knew to attack the Mass. Archbishop Annibale Bugnini who was mostly responsible for the New Mass was found to be a Freemason and Pope Paul VI only reassigned him and did not excommunicate him as he should have done by Canon Law. He also should have revoked the New Mass that was created. CONSEQUENCE: Nothing but destruction over the last 65 years of these infiltrators.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us.
​Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Bishop Strickland on his website....Pillarsoffaith.net has posted yesterday a podcast that is good for all of us to listen to (or read). Below is a portion of it to invite you to listen to it in its entirety. He is warning us that if we do not repent of our sins....God will have to get us on our knees a different way....it has always happened throughout history. Below is a portion of his talk and below that is a link to hear it in its entirety.
As usual - it is articulated very well!
God bless Bishop Strickland!
​Blessed Lent!!

"We have entered Lent. And Lent is not about minor adjustments. It is about survival of the soul. If we want to be among the ten, Lent cannot be casual. If we want to be preserved as a remnant, Lent cannot be symbolic. 
Prayer must deepen.  
Fasting must sharpen. 
Confession must become urgent. 
Homes must be purified. 
Hearts must be examined without excuse. 

Because here is the truth we do not like to hear: 
If God must purify a nation, He begins with His people.  
And if His people will not purify themselves, He allows events to do it for them. That is the pattern of salvation history. 

The Book of Revelation does not begin with plagues. It begins with letters to the churches. “Repent.” Over and over. Repent. Remove the compromise. Remove the lukewarmness. Remove the tolerance of corruption. Or I will come and remove your lampstand. 

That is not metaphor. That is warning. The survival of a Christian people depends on holiness. Not political victories. Not cultural influence. Holiness.  

If we do not become holy, we will not remain standing. If we do not become disciplined, we will not remain free. If we do not cleanse our houses, our houses will be shaken.
  
God was willing to spare Sodom for ten. But He did not negotiate below ten. There is a threshold. And we do not know how close we are to it. Lent may be mercy extended before that threshold is crossed.  

So do not waste it. Do not treat it lightly. Do not offer God token sacrifices while clinging to compromise. This is not a season for cosmetic change. It is a season for radical return. 

History is full of fallen cities. But it is also full of purified remnants. The question is not whether God will preserve His Church. He will. The question is whether we will belong to what remains. 

Will He find ten? Will he find homes that pray? Fathers who lead? Mothers who guard purity? Priests who preach without fear? Bishops who refuse silence? 
Will He find you?  

Lent is the answer we give before Heaven answers for us. Become holy. Or do not expect to survive what follows.  
​
May Almighty God bless you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.  "
Bishop Joseph E. Strickland 

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

If you are to renew your Consecration to Jesus through Mary or make it for the first time - It begins tomorrow - Feb. 20th - March 25th.  This is also a great way to make Lent special as it will run through most of our Lenten days. 

I am going to add something here. There is much talk about the Passion of the Church. We as the Mystical Body of Christ are going through a Passion that is very intense and causing people to act as they did during the Passion of our Lord ---- they are running in fear! If we are to be like St. John at the foot of the cross and make it all the way to the Crucifixion with Our Lord...we need to hold the hand of Our Lady. Only those who were in the company of Mary had the courage to remain with Our Lord till His Death on the Cross. We need this consecration to be like St. John and the Holy Women at this time in history.

This is a bit intense and we are busy people....do not be discouraged if you miss a day...just go over the missed material the next day. Please make this more of a mental exercise of keeping company with Mary throughout your day and this will help you to find the time for the studies and prayers that are required each day. Now more than ever do we need to be doing this Consecration for the guidance and protection from Our Lady Who has been appointed to crush the head of Satan. WE NEED HER!  Please try to follow this and help encourage others. If they miss March 25 then another Marian feast day can be chosen.

I will post the preparation by the week for you to follow under FORMATION - "Consecration to Jesus Through Mary" (you will also find previous years posted there as well). Someday, I will update this website so that it is easier to navigate. The Feast of the Annunciation is the date that St. Louis DeMontfort recommended to make this Consecration. It is when Jesus became incarnate in the Most Blessed Virgin Mary - therefore - it is a great day to offer ourselves to Jesus through Mary.

You will need the book "True Devotion to Mary" by St. Louis deMontfort and the Preparation book. I will post the links below in order for you to find them. You can also find PDF available to make it easy on the computer without a book.

During this entire 33 days we are asked to spend some time reading, meditating on a certain passage and praying. This is broken down into four sections:
 
            12 days – Withdrawing from the World
              7 days  - Knowledge of Self
              7 days – Knowledge of Mary
              7 days – Knowledge of Jesus
 
The book “Preparation for Total Consecration” is our guide as to what each day proposes. The guide can be found at the back of some "True Devotion to Mary" books as well but I have posted a PDF link below.  We can add readings from  “True Devotion to Mary” as we are allowed in our daily lives. It is proposed that we not only say the prayers in the book but try to add a Rosary and if possible – Daily Mass (for extra graces).
 
It is also recommended that making a good Confession before we begin the 33 days and just before the Consecration date would afford us a deeper commitment and more grace. 

There are other methods but I encourage the use of St. Louis deMontfort (and so does the Old Rule of Carmel). It is in the Old Rule that this consecration draws us closer to Jesus through Mary and so it is encouraged. You can find this Old Rule on this website. 

The first week starts on Feb. 20 which is tomorrow - Friday. The first 12 Days is to divest ourselves of the World. This is to understand the conflict that the world gives us. We need to understand the enemies of the Church which are: the devil, the world and the flesh. Contrary to modern ideas - the world is an enemy! This is a new idea for some and it may even be neglected in some forms of Consecration because we have integrated the ways of the world with our religious beliefs causing us to be mediocre which is repulsive to Our Lord. Therefore, St. Louis deMontfort gives us perennial Truth! Times change but the Truth NEVER CHANGES! God's ways yesterday are God's ways today - contrary to popular belief.

THE FIRST TWELVE DAYS
WITHDRAWING FROM THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD
 
The meditations should be made in the presence of Our Lady. We should start these 33 days off by asking her to show us each day what it is we are trying to discover on this journey. The spirit of the world is opposed to the Spirit of God. It is critical to be serious about this section because the more room we clear in our souls, the more room the Holy Spirit has to fill it.
 
Begin the daily meditation not only in the company of Mary but with the desire to start a new life with Jesus through Her. We must wish to give ourselves entirely to Her as He did. Mary is longing to make another Jesus of us. It is by the operation of the Holy Spirit that we will have this new life in Christ. We must draw the resolution from each meditation to desire earnestly to be emptied of the evil spirit, the spirit of the world, and our own selfish spirit, that there may be in us no obstruction to God’s Spirit and to being transformed in Christ. Repeating little prayers throughout the day and keeping the presence of God always before us will be helpful.
 
Throughout the first week, we are to ask Mary to ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten us about what it exactly is that keeps us from her Son. She will expose these things to our mind so that we can renounce them. It is critical that we trust ourselves entirely to God and His grace to accomplish removing the obstacles from our souls. He is more anxious to assist us in overcoming these defects that we are in overcoming them.
 
It is important to understand that everything is God’s grace. We must understand grace and its value if we are to not be of the spirit of the world. Grace is the life of God in our souls – the more grace – the more God dwells within that soul. We should eagerly seek to acquire and preserve this grace. We can acquire it through practicing His presence, prayers, Mass, spiritual reading, acts of love, etc. We can preserve this grace by staying far from sin and going to Confession often.
 
“Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it.” We must have constant recourse to God and not neglect the seemingly smallest grace because the smallest grace is great. We must use all the natural means God has given us in His service but we must remember that it is by God’s grace that we can ever succeed.  An example of the spirit of the world would be for one to always look to self or man for the answer or solution instead of God. And even when the answer or solution is given – the world gives the credit NOT to God who is always the giver of all good things.
 
So our goal during these 12 first days is to come to understand the difference of the world vs. God. The spirit of the world is so a part of our lives that sometimes we do not see where the difference lies.
 
The passages in the “Preparation Book” will help us to come to understand this. Praying the Litany of the Holy Spirit will give us enlightenment to see these differences.
POINTS FOR THE FIRST WEEK

• We are to practice placing ourselves in Mary’s presence
• We are to ask the Holy Spirit continually to enlighten our mind
• We are to trust in God’s grace and to seek it
• We are to see the differences of the spirits of the world/God

 
God bless you in this endeavor. - I will post Knowledge of Self just before this time period begins - under Consecration To Jesus Through Mary and not under Talks.

PS - I do not recommend using the "33 Days to Morning Glory". It is an excellent book to help encourage one to make this Consecration as it gives the lives of four that have made it. It is missing some critical steps that St. Louis wants in order for this Consecration to be fruitful. Again, one can read it for inspiration but the Traditional means of Consecration should be pursued.

God bless you through the prayers and intercession of Our Holy Mother Mary!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

Tody is Ash Wednesday and we are now in Lent. There is so much to pray for. First and foremost, we should all be making resolutions to make this such a holy Lent that we become more unified to God in prayer and mortifications. My question for you today is.....WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.....WILL THIS EVEN BE POSSIBLE?

What am I talking about? Well, we all remember six years ago when the world was turned upside down and you kept hearing "the new normal" everywhere. You also witnessed an immense tyranny of forced medical procedures, whether they be testing or remedies. (Why forced?) Well, the below video will enlighten you and the attached document will educate you. Please share. All of us should know this information.... but I know that most will not want to know because it is too frightening.

I just had a lengthy conversation last night with my son who has left the Catholic Church right after our wonderful Bishops stopped all Masses on the planet...FOR A FULL YEAR! I mysteriously landed on this video done by "Redacted" on Rumble and it may be not only the key to understanding why so many have "changed" but also will give us a clue as to what the future of our Church and world will look like soon.

Once you view this and read the below document, you will wonder how God could allow such a thing to happen. I truly believe this knowledge lets us know that God is about to act swiftly upon the world so that this does not happen to EVERYONE. It looks like it could be the end and we know it is not.....chastisement maybe.

If we can all be aware and more importantly, pray ....especially during this Lent for all those who have already been altered by a medical intervention...and all those who soon will be.

Please be vigilant in prayer and in the protocol for your own health and those of your loved ones. Children are most vulnerable ...both spiritually and physically. We, parents and grandparents must be vigilant. Pray for God's grace and protection. 

May Our Lady, pray for us and protect us from the enemy.
O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every Adoration Thine!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Tomorrow is the Feast day of the Holy Face of Jesus. It is a moveable feast and is always on Shrove Tuesday which is the day before Ash Wednesday. 

Devotion to the Holy Face was revealed by Jesus to Sr. Marie of St. Peter (1816-1848) a Carmelite nun of Tours in France.
The primary purpose of the devotion is to make reparation for sins against the first three commandments:

(The First Sin Against the Holy Face is Denial of God which Freemasonry and Communism has done so much damage to the Roman Catholic Church over the past century...May we pray and offer much reparation for these crimes against the Church!)

Denial of God which includes Freemasonry that has infiltrated our Church, 
Blasphemy - using God's name in vain,
Profanation of Sundays and Holy Days which are all greatly prevalent today.

The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, based on the life and writings of Sr. Marie of St. Peter, was eventually approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1885 who established the devotion as an Arch-confraternity for the whole world.

In January 1849 Pope Pius IX had the relic of Veronica’s veil placed for public veneration in Rome. During this time, the Divine Face appeared distinctly, as if living, and was illuminated by a soft light. Reproductions of the veil were later printed, touched to the original and sent abroad for veneration such as the one printed at the top of this article.

The Holy Man of Tours - Leo Dupont
Leo Dupont heard of the reported visions of Jesus and Mary by the Carmelite nun Sister Marie of St Peter from 1844 to 1847. Based on this, Dupont started to burn a vigil lamp continuously before a picture of the Holy Face of Jesus based on the painted image on the Veil of Veronica. Dupont used that image because the existence of a clear image on the Shroud of Turin was not known to anyone at that time for the somewhat faded image of the face on the Shroud can not easily be seen with the naked eye and was only observed in May 1898 via the negative plate of Secondo Pia's first photograph. In 1851 Dupont formed the "Archconfraternity of the Holy Face" in Tours. He prayed for and promoted the case for a devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus for around 30 years.

Blessed Maria Pierina de Micheli & The Holy Face of Jesus Devotion & Medal
At the age of twelve, when she was in her Parish Church during the 3pm Good Friday service, she heard a Voice saying quite distinctly:

"No one gives me a kiss of love on My Face to make amends for the Kiss of Judas."

In her childlike simplicity, she believed that the voice was heard by everyone and was pained to see that only the wounds were kissed but not the face. In her heart exclaiming, "Have patience, dear Jesus, I will give you a kiss of love", and when her turn came she lovingly and devoutly imprinted a kiss on His Face. (This is true - on Good Friday - many feel that kissing His face would be too bold but it would be an act of Reparation for the wounds inflicted by these sins. If one is to think you are bold  - then this too can be offered as an act of Reparation in itself because you know that it is done out of love!)

Mother Maria Pierina de Micheli obtained permission from her spiritual Director and although she did not have any financial means to get medals of the Holy Face made. She obtained the permission of the photographer Bruner to take copies of the Holy Shroud as reproduced by him, and she received the permission to do so by the Archdiocese of Milan on the August 9, 1940. Since then the devotion and the medal have been spread worldwide with much enthusiasm, accompanied all the while by wonderful graces, conversions and cures as a testament and heavenly sign of God's institution and approval of both.
​
St. Therese and the Martin Family
This devotion was practiced in France where it began, therefore, the Martin family were one of the first to join in this Archconfraternity of the Holy Face and it became a sweet devotion of St. Therese; so much so that she was inspired to take the full title of:
‘Sr. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face’.

May we make it a devotion of our own for the many crimes committed today. We can not just sit back but be active in making Reparation. The Holy Face devotion is a great means of grace. Please check out more information on this website under Devotions for more information on the Holy Face.

"O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every Adoration Thine." (3 times)

God bless!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Well, here we are in the middle of the Holy Face Novena which is done in reparation for blasphemies, sacrileges, and crimes committed against the first three commandments....as well as Freemasonry and Communism (which fits in as sins committed against the first three commandments.) Ironically, yesterday, we had a meeting in Rome with Cardinal Fernandez and the Superior General of SSPX regarding the approval of more bishops to the Society in order to serve the many souls under their care....but the decision was not for the Flock of Jesus!

An article regarding this meeting yesterday is posted below by Lifesite News. There are more on the internet. This is a very complicated time that we live in. On my latest post, a podcast done by Bishop Strickland on the Second Vatican Council is posted at the bottom....I will post it again below because it is related to the comments and thinking of Cardinal Fernandez during the meeting.....Bishop Strickland is right on target with his observation of how those who currently occupy Rome view the Second Vatican Council. With this in mind, Cardinal Fernandez's statements to the SSPX make perfect sense. This is NOT ABOUT THE SALVATION OF SOULS OR SERVING THE FLOCK....it is about politics and power.     Quote from the Lifesite News article....

"Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, reportedly told Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), that documents from the Second Vatican Council cannot “be corrected.” 

A communiqué from the SSPX General House published Thursday revealed that, while Fernández has proposed dialogue with the SSPX to clarify the “minimum necessary” for the SSPX’s canonical status, the cardinal has already made clear that the Second Vatican Council documents must be accepted in full by the SSPX to reach such “regular” status.".....
So Cardinal Fernandez is saying....I don't care about the flock of Jesus Christ and that they are in NEED of more Bishops.....I want you to swallow the heresies that all the other Catholics have agreed to swallow under obedience to us apostates. (Sorry to say this so harshly....but it is the truth! And I say it harshly because I have family members and friends who would rather retreat, compromise and remain silent from confrontation and CHOOSE NOT to fight for the Truth...I ask you.....what does Jesus, Our King, think about this stand?)

It does not take a genius to figure out that with the way communications are today on social media and the internet, and also how fed up Catholics are with Rome and its betrayal to Christ the King.....there will be increased Catholics walking away from these apostate leaders in Rome....they will have the mindset of Archbishop Lefebvre, Bishop Strickland, Archbishop Vigano and the like, which is...WE ARE NOT LEAVING THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH...WE WILL ALWAYS BE OBEDIENT TO THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF MOTHER CHURCH.....BUT WE WILL NOT BE OBEDIENT TO HERESY AND APOSTASY. 

This act of Consecrating new Bishops for SSPX could be a "Turning Point" in the Church. It is time to make a decision...are we willing to continue to act as though this "Synodal Church" is of Jesus Christ OR WILL WE BE FAITHFUL TO CHRIST THE KING AND HIS TRUE CHURCH!

Many dioceses in the USA and throughout the world CONTINUE to CLOSE MANY CHURCHES. Detroit is within a year to almost cut in half its existing parishes. What will be left 10 years from now???? Remember the "Alta Vendita"...The Freemasons want the Catholic Church DESTROYED. They have climbed over the fortress wall of our Church and now "under obedience" we are suppose to watch them destroy Her. Is this what Jesus Christ ...Our King wants of us? Listen again to the talk below by Bishop Strickland after reading this post. WE MUST PRAY ....DO PENANCE....DO REPARATION...and BE FAITHFUL TO THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF OUR ROMAN CATHOLIC FAITH.

May Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us...Who has warned us of this day!
O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine....be every Adoration Thine!!!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary......

Tomorrow is a great feast. Our Lady came to ask for praying of the Rosary and penance and to declare that She is ....The Immaculate Conception! The messages we can take away from this visit are many but my favorite is the fact that Our Lady came and claimed: "I am the Immaculate Conception". This is still a controversial topic among both Catholic and Protestants alike - even though it is a dogma of our faith and therefore - one is obliged to believe it. In light of the recent declarations from Rome that we are NOT to call Our Mother - Co-Redemptrix or Mediatrix of All Graces, I am shocked that they did not add this title in there as well. With the modernists pushing for evolution making Adam and Eve a likely myth .....we are left hanging with the thought...WOW, if there was no Adam and Eve as stated in Scripture (that now needs to be rewritten) THEN we were NOT born with Original Sin.  SSSOOO, my question is....how can Our Blessed Mother come and state....."I Am The Immaculate Conception".......if in their minds.....we were ALL born immaculately conceived? (PS...if those in charge in Rome who took these titles away from Our Mother BELIEVED THAT SHE WAS THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION ---- they would NEVER take away these titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces!  ...my opinion)

In 1858, in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl, starting on Feb. 11 through July 16th (Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel). She began by praying the Rosary with Bernadette (only Bernadette prayed the Hail Marys). Our Lady had asked that penance be done and told Bernadette that She did not promise her happiness in this life – only in the next. She told her to drink from a fountain in the grotto, where we now have a spring of miraculous water for all the Church to benefit (AND HELP TO BELIEVE).

Our Lady revealed Herself as the Immaculate Conception on March 25th (Feast of the Annunciation) and asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception had just been given to the Church by Pope Pius IX just four years prior in 1854. We may conclude that this apparition helped the skeptical faithful (and/or priests and religious) to accept the True Teachings of Mother Church.....and we can turn to this time in history (as at Fatima) to listen to Our Good Mother and get catechized! And if down through history, Rome decides to change Church Teachings and Tradition......WE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL...because God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

It is very feasible that controversy ensued even among the so called "scholars" of the Roman Catholic Church. It is exciting that Our Lady had to come and straighten them out. Also, in order for all to believe, God permitted a miraculous spring in which many are healed.

Let us not forget to pray our daily Rosaries and offer much reparation for the sins of the world - especially for abortions and for all crimes committed everywhere inside and outside the Church. Our Lady needs our prayers and sacrifices to help Her win souls for Christ and His Church. Let us not be indifferent to Her plea and may we not fail Her and truly strive to be Her devoted children.

Please pray for the leadership in the Church from the Pope on down. May they be given the grace to hold to the Truth and to pass it down through the ages.
​
​Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette -  Pray for us!!

(Listening to the below talk....ask yourself....Can the present Rome accept the messages of Lourdes or Fatima?)

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

This talk by Bishop Strickland is very telling.....may we listen to this modern day saint....may we pray for him and those like him at a time when truth is looked upon as divisive and something that should be ignored so that compromise be embraced...all in the name of mercy for unifying with those who choose not to walk in Truth.

May we be faithful to Truth and embrace the Cross because we choose to live as Jesus Christ and His True Apostles did.

May we pray our Rosaries for peace in the Church and in the world.

May Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Blessed Sexagesima Sunday! Tomorrow starts the Holy Face Novena before Lent! Time certainly flies!  (link below).
​
When the Modernists were condemning Tradition and the Traditional Latin Mass....Archbishop Lefebvre stated......"I am obligated to pass on what was given to me!"  

I would like to share some info on the SSPX. When I was younger and growing up in the Novus Ordo Church, I remember hearing of the SSPX and how they were in schism with Rome. I use to think "Wow, how tragic that they took the name of one of my favorite saints...Pope St. Pius X". I felt that they had tarnished his good name.....such as the rainbow was hijacked by the LGBTQXYZ group.  It wasn't until the 2007 Motu Proprio by Pope Benedict XVI that I (like many others) began my studies of "what happened" to our Mass of All Ages.

I bought books and more books. (link below for this website's Latin Mass info). I felt like I was robbed as well as anyone else who cared to investigate what really happened and why. As I was now going to both the Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo, I began to see the differences (as well as read about them). I read the book written by Archbishop Lefebvre titled, "Open Letter to Confused Catholics". Highly recommended this book for anyone that is confused....are there confused Catholics out there??? (link below to purchase one)

The history of Archbishop Lefebvre is amazing. (link below) He came from a large Catholic family and they were daily Mass goers with FIVE vocations out of 8 children. He came from a family of prayer, catechesis and an intense sacramental life. Catholic families should all strive to be like this because....... in the end....only our eternity is worth investing in. (Could the daily offering of the Sacrifice of the Mass be the result of 5 vocations??) He died on March 25,  1991 at the age of 85. A FEAST OF OUR LADY! I can't wait for them to exhume his body (someday) to see if God has allowed him to be incorrupt for all the modernists to see how God approved of this man's work for the salvation of souls.

Some are still against this man because of the pushback that came from Rome at a time when they wanted to replace the Mass with a "new" Mass.....a "modernized" Mass that Pope St. Pius X wrote against. St. Pius X called modernism the synthesis of ALL HERESIES and wrote MUCH against it. Consequently, we now have SO MUCH division throughout the world and throughout these past 60+ years since these innovators in Rome gave us this "new" Mass. So many orders, seminaries, vocations, religious convents and sisters, schools, churches and last but not least families......ALL DIED because of it.  And the ironic part is that Pope Leo and his assistants in Rome want to extinguish the TLM COMPLETELY so that ONLY the "new" Mass can exist........ in order for the Church to have UNITY!  YIKES .... That sounds like complete annihilation of what is left of the Catholic Church!  How about getting rid of the culprit...the "new" Mass is what caused the disunity......We had unity before they modernized everything. (Pope St. Pius X is incorrupt - could God be giving us a sign that what he shared with the world was TRUTH! Modernism is the synthesis of ALL HERESIES).

There are so many books written on this...every Catholic has an obligation to read about what had happened.....how the Vatican II Council was hijacked by the progressives.....how the "New" Mass was written by a Freemasonic prelate named Annibale Bugnini. (link on him below).

I wanted to post this to help the confused become unconfused. I also needed to mention that Our Lady had warned us that this would take place....mainly because we have turned away from God in prayer and worship. (link at bottom of the previous article - could this have been the Third Secret that Rome WOULD NOT SHARE in 1960?)

I will end with the point that Archbishop Lefebvre was a great blessing from God. He always put God first and the salvation of souls. Everything he did was with this in mind.....not like the modernists. If he was not brave enough to stand against the modernists who were dismantling the sacrificial Mass and giving us a community meal in its place......we would not have the FSSP or ICKSP, or the other traditional orders that give us the Latin Mass. We can thank him for that and that is what this podcaster on the below video points out at the end. Below video of information is worth listening to.

May we keep all of this in prayer and please start your novena to the Holy Face of Jesus tomorrow for the feast day which falls on Feb. 17th this year (Tuesday before Ash Wednesday).

​Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
