Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

May we begin with a prayer:

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

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

The value of Sanctifying Grace cannot be expressed. St. Thomas Aquinas says, “The least grace outweighs all the riches of this world.” This is astonishing since it seems that all those around us including our own family members and friends would rather seek the things of the world than to seek and ask God for the greatest gift in the universe – Sanctifying Grace!!

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

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

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

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

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I pray all are well. This is a busy time for me to get the garden in order for summer.  I have been consumed in getting things cleaned up and then getting my flowers and vegetables planted for summer growth. Watching things grow helps one grow closer to God and His miraculous powers! May Our Lady watch over our gardens!

Today is the Feast of Mary Help of Christians! This was a miraculous devotion that was greatly promoted by St. John Bosco and the Salesian Order. Her Basilica is in Turin, Italy. We need Our Lady under this title which is very needed today now more than ever.  She has always come through for all those who have asked for Her help. Never was it known that anyone who has implored Her help or sought Her intercession ...... has been left unaided.  May we turn to Her at this time of great need for our families, our parishes, our countries and the entire world. She can miraculously help us with all the grace of God that He so generously gives to Her for us. May we thank the Eternal Father for the gift of Our Lady during this month of May.

Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I pray all Mothers had a beautiful Mother's Day yesterday. May we always appreciate and love our dear Blessed Mother in Heaven who does so much for us!!

Today is the Feast day of St. Isidore, patron of farmers. What a perfect feast day to start these Rogation days!! (below is a link on St. Isidore) I had first posted info on the lost Rogation days tradition in 2020. With talks of food shortages and reports of bad weather and droughts; we need to bring this back. What is it??? Well, today begins an old Tradition in the Church which is to ask God for protection from calamities through prayer, fasting and processions (which we can do in our homes).  I wish it was more well known and more publicized by our bishops to at least have homes honor these days with fasting and prayer especially at this time in history. We have locusts swarms in parts of Africa and Asia, we will have famine because of it and we have the destruction of much of our food supplies, earthquakes, tornadoes, droughts and other natural calamities are on the rise and intensifying; and not to mention more tyranny and lost freedoms to come. This is a perfect time to beg God to give us the necessary graces to make it through these trying times with prayer and fasting.

 I am giving three links at the bottom for you  (1) some history and (2) a homily of this Catholic history gone by the wayside and (3) a document to print copies of the prayers to be done at home if you feel called to participate -which can be beautifully done in a procession. (As well as a link related to St. Isidore...whose feast is today, May 15th).

"Rogation days were days which were instituted to appease divine justice, ask for protection, and invoke God's blessing on the harvest. They are divided into the "major" and "minor" rogations, with the latter being the three days before Ascension Thursday -- and hence, this very Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 

The Rogation Days are the 25th of April, called Major, and the three days before the feast of the Ascension, called Minor. The Major Rogation, which has no connection with the feast of St. Mark (fixed for this date much later) seems to be of very early date and to have been introduced to counteract the ancient Robigalia, on which the heathens held processions and supplications to their gods. St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) regulated the already existing custom. The Minor Rogations were introduced by St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne, and were afterwards ordered by the Fifth Council of Orléans, which was held in 511, and then approved by Leo III (795-816). "               Taken from The Catholic Encyclopedia, "Rogation Days"

May Our Lady Help of Christians, help us!
St. Isidore, pray for us!
All ye Holy Angels and Saints, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

This is an important feast day...it is not only the feast of Our Lady of Fatima but also the feast of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

We know the story and we know the message (if not ...please check out my archives).

There is no doubt that we are living in some very trying times and that we need the help of our Blessed Mother who came often to tell us what to do to remain faithful to God. The only way to conquer evil is with Love and since God is Love...We are to turn to Him and the best way is to ask Our Blessed Mother to lead us to Him in the most perfect way.

Like Archbishop Lefebrve, Fr. Nicholas Gruner was a hero for the Church and Our Lady of Fatima at a time when the freemasons who infiltrated it wanted to destroy as much as they could in the Catholic Church for the future date of a "Great Reset" which Pope Francis is working on now. Fr. Gruner was demonized by the infiltrators in Rome for trying to promote the Fatima message which has been suppressed very much by those who should be promoting it. (Sr. Lucia is still not canonized and do not hold your breath about it) A magazine, The Fatima Crusader, was promoted by Fr. Gruner to help the people to understand the message and to live it. Below is a short video of his work within the Church for the greater glory of God and for the salvation of souls and to help promote the Fatima message for Our Lady whom he loves so very much!

Fr. Gruner saw the Third Secret as being a complete vindication of the traditionalist movement. Obviously, in Fr. Gruner’s understanding, the Third Secret was a condemnation of Vatican II, the New Mass, many of the clergy of the post-conciliar Church, and an indication that a man or men designated as pope would be the ones actually pushing the apostasy in the Church. What was Our Lady warning us against? The New Doctrine, the New Mass, the New Priesthood, and the New Popes.

Reading the above paragraph and knowing that Our Lady wanted the Third Secret revealed to everyone no later than 1960.....will give us a clear picture of why the freemason infiltrators wanted him gone and why they never told us the 3rd Secret in 1960. This should give us ALL a greater zeal to live out the Fatima message and teach it to others.

Our Lady of Fatima asked for us to be consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart. A way to fight the evil in the world is to consecrate ourselves to Our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart. She asked for this through Sister Lucia. Another modern saint that came after 1917 also brought us a consecration prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This was St. Maximillian Kolbe. Below is a very short but beautiful homily on this consecration that St. Maximillian preached through his Militia Immaculata. 

Have a beautiful feast day and may we live out our consecration as well as teach it to others so that we may build up Her army to fight the minions of Satan who are winning souls and causing them to be lost for all eternity. We must pray, as Our Lady had asked in order for souls to be saved! She is depending on our prayers!! And remember that in the end ... Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph!  God is always in charge and is allowing all that we suffer as a chastisement for the sins of the world. May we offer all to Him through Her Immaculate Heart for the reparation of sin... no matter what we are called to offer Him! He gave us His life....we can give Him ours!

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

I hope all are enjoying the great weather we have so longed for at the end of winter. We are in May, the month of Our Lady. I pray you are offering a Novena before the Feast of May 13 which is not only dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima but also Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. May we pray our rosary daily.

To help us in our prayers to Our Lady, I have included these two links below to show that there is an enormous apostasy going on within the Catholic Church. THERE ARE MORE....I encourage all to seek these out.

May we remain faithful to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith. May we remain faithful to our Tradition....go to as many Latin Masses....while we still have them....offer many Spiritual Communions and many rosaries for the conversion of our Pope and all those involved in this destruction of Christian culture.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
Good St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, pray for us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus...have mercy upon all of us!

The below video from Tradition in Action Media is #5...I encourage all to view more on YouTube.

Sorry I have been away from writing. I was crazy busy planning a wedding shower for one of our daughters which we had this past Sunday.

I am giving you this article because every time I am at Mass, I always have the thought that I want to write about this. The changes to the Mass can only be justly covered in a big book....not a little article....because there are so many changes.  I encourage all to read and study those changes.  I highly recommend Angelus Press for these books.

When we get to the Last Gospel, I am so amazed at how this sums up our faith and what we are to experience as we go back into the world after the Mass is over. I am not going to dissect this but would like you to reread this with the imagination of an enemy of Christ (freemason). One can see how the freemasons wanted this GONE as well as the Leonine Prayers which follow. I have even heard of priests who come into a Novus Ordo parish where it was a practice to pray the St. Michael prayers at the end of Mass; and the new priest informs the parishioners that they will no longer be praying that....obviously....we no longer need St. Michael because the devil is NOT active in his parish or in the world. YIKES.  I think I would get up and go to a new parish.

Well...below are the words of the Last Gospel at the end of a Latin Mass...please read and see how the modernists that have invaded the Church would want this GONE! This Gospel alone would prevent religions outside of the Catholic Church from being accepted. Maybe I will continue these changes in the coming weeks to help people become aware...the two Masses ARE NOT THE SAME. Please share!

Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament pray for us!
(Novena to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament found in link below...Feast May 13th)

The beginning +︎ of the holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.

That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.
