Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... This title is quite scandalous given that we are still in the Octave of Pentecost. Poor Hearts of Jesus and Mary. There is so much happening in the world and in the Church that is blatantly against God. Papa Provost just gave us a new encyclical...."Magnifica Humanitas". The age of Man over God continues....which began in a significant way after Vatican II and the New Mass were introduced to the world. Bishop Strickland wrote on this new encyclical on his website Pillars of Faith.... Commentary by Anthony Stine on Return to Tradition..... Mentioned in Anthony Stine's commentary is an action by Pope Francis that ignited some of the things coming out of the Pontifical Academy of Life in Rome.... Warning signals in 1907 from Pope St. Pius X (an incorrupt saint) given to us by God for this exact time in history....for our guidance and sanity during these troubling times. BE ASSURED TRADITION AND BEING A TRUE TRADITIONAL ROMAN CATHOLIC ARE WHAT GOD WANTS OF US....MAY WE REMAIN SO!!!! Added to this article is related the following.....G. K. Chesterton was a man who did a great job with his wit and knowledge to make many points clear during his time here on earth. God rest his soul and give him a reward for all the good he did. There is a man today who has decided to use Chesterton's past wisdom to look at the current craziness through his lens...I think it is worth viewing his work. It seems that he started this channel only about a year ago...I pray it grows for people to see the foolishness of what is going on today. Below is one of his videos regarding Mary as seen as Co-Redemptrix. All of his videos are worth viewing and are short and to the point...I hope you enjoy and frequent his work...... Let us not give up hope and let us implore the Holy Spirit to guide all those in Rome to REMAIN (or become) Catholic. May Our Lady, Help of Christians and Good St. Joseph pray for all of us in the Church.....to be the magnanimous Catholics God wants all of us to be. May we fight to remain Catholic and promote only those Traditions and Truths that Jesus Christ gave to the Roman Catholic Church!
All ye holy angels and saints, pray for us. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray and protect us. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy upon all of us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... May we begin with a prayer: Come Holy Ghost into our minds that we may know the things that are of God. Come Holy Ghost into our hearts that we may love the things that are of God. Come Holy Ghost into our souls that we may belong only to God. Sanctify all that we think, say and do, that all will be for the greater glory of God. At Pentecost the Apostles with the presence of Mary became infused with the love and tender gifts of God through the indwelling of the Spirit in a very powerful way similar to that of our Confirmation in order that they may love the Faith, teach the Faith, defend the Faith and die for this Faith! We receive Sanctifying Grace at the Sacrament of Confirmation and it is the greatest gift of the Holy Ghost! It gives to the soul a resemblance to God, corresponding to His infinite sanctity, and imprints upon it the supernatural likeness of God. Through grace, the soul is clothed in such heavenly beauty that, in comparison, all earthly beauty seems vile. The value of Sanctifying Grace cannot be expressed. St. Thomas Aquinas says, “The least grace outweighs all the riches of this world.” This is astonishing since it seems that all those around us including our own family members and friends would rather seek the things of the world than to seek and ask God for the greatest gift in the universe – Sanctifying Grace!! Staying away from the Sacraments and praying to God leaves one's soul void of God....void of peace.....void of love and all the gifts the Holy Spirit gives to a soul in sanctifying grace. So what is this Sanctifying Grace that we should seek above the empty treasures of this world? Sanctifying Grace makes us a friend of God. If we die in this Grace – we will be happy FOREVER IN HEAVEN! This should be everyone’s goal! We will become partakers of His Heavenly Kingdom! Now, since all the treasures of Heaven and earth are comprised in God, and God is of infinitely greater value than anything created, it makes perfect sense that if man receives God Himself as a reward for Sanctifying Grace, he must have gained infinitely more than all the treasures of the world! The soul is elevated so high by Sanctifying Grace that it becomes a true child of God. “Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God.” (1 John 3:1) This is the knowledge that led the saints and continues to lead the saints to give their whole lives to God in His service on this earth so as to be happy with Him in the next. Nothing compares! The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Love, proceeding from the Father and the Son. The dispensing of Sanctifying Grace is the great work of God’s love. Hell and all its inhabitants try to rob us of this precious jewel, for the fallen angels realize its value and do not want us to share in it. How often we sell this precious jewel for a trifle found on this earth!! May we pray for the grace to NEVER sell this precious jewel for mortal sin. May we pray for the grace to know that this jewel makes us richer than all the wealth the world can give. May we place ourselves into the hands of the Spouse of the Holy Ghost – Mary. May She protects us from the wiles and deceits of Satan who labors daily and LONGS TO ROB US OF THIS TREASURE!! Are we unhappy? Are we still seeking happiness? Are we not content with life? Are we anxious or fearful? The means of happiness lies in all Christians going about each day seeking the means of acquiring Sanctifying Grace with greater zeal than the worldlings go about seeking money and worldly treasures! May we go forward seeking means of Sanctifying Grace through prayer and the Sacraments of the Church in order for the Blessed Trinity to dwell within our souls more and more each day so that we become living temples of God both NOW AND FOREVER! May we hunger and strive to want the God of Love to dwell within us! Mary, Spouse of the Holy Ghost - pray for us! All ye Holy Angels and Saints - pray for us. Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... Happy Feast Day (tomorrow)! Much is happening in the skies....Malachi Martin, who was priviledged to see the Third Secret but could not share it, always said to look to the skies....so here we are with so much going on today. No one knows the day or the hour but we do have signs. Below are the words of Our Lady to Sr. Lucia, may we take them to heart and pray the Rosary for peace, the reparation prayers, and keep in the state of grace with frequenting the Sacraments (while we still have them). OUR LADY TO SR. LUCIA.... “If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its sins, by means of war, famine, and persecutions against the Church and of the Holy Father. “To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If My requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.” Here Our Lady warns of the events – including war! – to be foreshadowed by the “night illumined by an unknown light”. She also provides the solution for preventing these events: the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart and the devotion of the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. The night of the “unknown light” occurred. But, unfortunately, Our Lady’s requests have gone unheeded, and many of the predicted events have already occurred. Thus it would seem that ‘the annihilation of nations’ is looming on the horizon… By 1938, World War II was about to break out. It would begin “during the reign of Pius XI,” signaled by “a night illumined by an unknown light”. On the night of January 25-26, 1938 – during the reign of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) – the sky became a brilliant blood-red. Likened to the blaze of a gigantic fire and filling the evening sky, it was seen across Europe and even in parts of North America and North Africa. Though it was determined by many to be a most extraordinary aurora borealis, this phenomenon exhibited many characteristics not associated with an aurora borealis. It would appear that many simply assigned it that designation because they had no more appropriate term or explanation. And Sister Lucia expressed reservations about it being referred to as an aurora borealis. She wrote in her third memoir on August 31, 1941 that no matter what cause the light could be attributed to, “God made use of this to make me understand that His justice was about to strike the guilty nations…” Here we are with so much pointing to another war, famine and pestilence and much more. Pray, Read, Fast. Pray the Reparation Prayers taught at Fatima daily. Live in God's love and peace knowing that we are His! Below is one short video of sun activity currently happening. I follow Stefan Burns on YouTube who gives daily updates as well below that. I encourage anyone to keep an eye on the skies as Malachi Martin recommended. I always felt that the miracle of the sun had some important significance. The words at Akita also mention fire from the skies. Not to be alarmed....just prepared. Jesus, Mary, I love You....save souls! (pray this quite often in your day for those dying today and those to die soon) Our Lady of Fatima and of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... FAMINE IS COMING! These Rogation Days of Prayers, Processions, Fasting and Masses are NECESSARY for the world. May we participate as much as we can. First, the Rogation Days remind us that God governs the natural world. Rain, drought, fertility of crops, and the stability of the seasons are ultimately subject to Divine Providence. The faithful therefore rightly ask God to bless the fruits of the earth. Note how this truth is also expressed in the Message of Fatima. The Miracle of the Sun is its most striking example. Second, they express the reality that sin has social consequences. The Church historically recognized that widespread sin could draw down divine chastisement. Public penance and prayer were therefore offered not only for individual conversion but for the protection of entire communities. This truth is likewise affirmed by Our Lady’s Message at Fatima. Her Immaculate Heart is pierced by many thorns which are the sins of men who directly offend Her. Our Lord and Our Lady call on us to remove these thorns by our reparation, especially the First Saturday devotion. Third, Rogation Days affirm the power of public prayer. When the Church gathers as a body to implore God’s mercy, the faithful exercise the communal dimension of the Mystical Body of Christ. As one would expect, this reality is also affirmed at Fatima. Our Lady tells us the prayer of the Rosary can solve any conflict. It is a necessary means for ending wars and having peace in our families. And the proper Consecration of Russia, a public prayer by the united Church hierarchy will be the pivotal event which dramatically brings a period of peace to our war-torn world. God have mercy upon the farmers, please bless these drought stricken lands with rain. Holy Mother Mary, please intercede for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Blessed Mother's Day to all mothers. May we thank the Eternal Father for our own sweet Blessed Mother in heaven who watches over all of us day and night! As we all know, there is a crisis in the Catholic Church and in the world. We no longer know what a mother or a father is today....nor do we know their roles. There is so much confusion that we need to pick up our Rosaries as Our Blessed Mother has asked and DAILY pray the Family Rosary! If the entire family is not present...it should still be prayed for the sake of the graces needed today. Those that have adult children are experiencing the break from the Catholic Faith. The Rosary needs to be prayed by the parents of these adult children with confidence that the promises of the Rosary will bring them back....in God's time. Here are some words from Bishop Sheen on the family in relation to the society. I feel this is pertinent today as we are at war now and it is highly probable to escalate. At the end of this year, December 2026, there will be an automatic draft for all males 18 to 25..are we ready for the sacrifice...are our young men ready for the sacrifice. In this world of "Me, Myself and I"; we will take a great loss in this nation and in the world from the lack of self-sacrifice. The young people today feel victimized by everything. They can no longer take ownership of their own faults and weaknesses. They can no longer seek their help in God because we now have sciences with great "experts". Is God preparing to give us a great reset with the hard times we have coming on the horizon? May our dear Blessed Mother guide us to Truth....to Her Son...through our praying of the Rosary.... Words of Bishop Sheen.... "Every child has a fundamental right to a real mother and father. The flesh and blood originators of life alone can put into play those spiritual forces which are essential for the development of the child. Social culture also demands a permanent bond between man and woman, for no civilization can endure without responsibility and loyalty to one’s trust. When 50 percent of married couples feel that they can throw overboard pledged loyalty in order to suit their own pleasure or convenience, then the hour has struck when citizens will no longer feel a need to keep their pledge to America as citizens. Once a citizenry does not feel bound to the most natural and democratic of all self-governing commonwealths, the home, it will not be long until it ceases to feel bound to a nation. When a Mrs. White is ready to call herself Mrs. Brown, then it will only be a short time before Americans will be calling themselves Soviets. The traitors to the home today are the traitors to the nation tomorrow. A people who are not loyal to a home will not be loyal to a flag. The permanence of the bond is necessary also for sacrifice. So long as a nation of families learns to renounce the “mine” in the “ours” of their offspring, there is strength. The family then becomes a training school in self-discipline; it crushes egotism for the sake of the group, as all members learn the supreme lesson of living with others for the sake of others. But if there is the slightest disagreement resulting from the eating of crackers in bed, or if the other party fails to give pleasure, or if the desire of greener pastures makes the present grazing less appealing; if every emotion, whim, appetite, and fancy has a right to be satisfied even at the cost of another person; then what shall happen to the sacrifice so necessary for a nation in time of crisis and conflict? The fewer sacrifices a man is required to make, the more loath he will be to make those few. His luxuries soon become necessities, children a burden, and the ego a god. Where will come our heroes in a crisis, if we no longer have heroes in the home? If a man will not put up with the trials of a household, will he put up with the trials of a national emergency? Once the need of sacrifice for maintenance of the home is uprooted, there is simultaneously uprooted the need of sacrifice for the maintenance of a nation. Only a nation that recognizes sweat, toil, hardship, and sacrifice as normal aspects of life can save itself, and these virtues are first learned in the home." May we all pray the Family Rosary for the coming war, famine and pestilence about to engulf the earth for our crimes ! Dear Mother Mary - pray for us!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Today is the feast of the Apparition of St. Michael the Archangel but since the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13th and St. Simon Stock is May 16th is coming up soon......I hope to post a few articles through these feastdays promoting The Brown Scapular. This July 16th, 2026 will be the 775 year anniversary of receiving the Brown Scapular from Our Lady so we need to do our part in trying to promote it. I am posting a link below of Fr. Howard Rafferty, O Carm talking about Our Lady of Fatima and the Brown Scapular. He is a TRUE hero of Carmel. He did so much to promote Our Lady's messages and Her Brown Scapular. With all the chaos going on right now in the Church and in the world.....listening to these words from him are a breathe of fresh air! WOW - HOW WE NEED PRIESTS LIKE HIM TODAY!! I took the following words from the website....Scapularofmtcarmel.com........ On August 15, 1950, Father Howard Rafferty spoke with Sister Lucy regarding the Fatima message and it's connection with the Brown Scapular: Sister Lucy: "Everyone seems to think that there are only four conditions of the Fatima Message ...there is one more condition - the wearing of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel." Father Rafferty: "You mean that if one did all four things, but did not wear the Scapular [of Mount Carmel], he/she would not fulfill what Our Lady asked for at Fatima?" Sister Lucy: "He could not fulfill what the Blessed Mother asked for at Fatima if he refused to wear the Brown Scapular!" Father Rafferty: "Do you mean to say that the wearing of the Brown Scapular is not just something Our Lady would like us to do, but that it is essential to the Message?" Sister Lucy: "Exactly! One could not follow the Message of Fatima unless he/she fulfilled the five conditions, one of which is the wearing of the Brown Scapular all the time -- day and night." The four main advantages to be derived from the wearing of the Brown Scapular 1. It is a safeguard and pledge of special protection in dangers of soul and body (which has been proved by many miracles). 2. It is a sign of salvation, which means that a person wearing this scapular at the moment of death would be saved and would not go to hell. Thus for the just man on his death bed, Our Lady would obtain the grace of final perseverance; for a sinner, she would obtain the grace of conversion and the restoration of the state of grace, either by providing a priest to hear his confession, or by obtaining the grace to make an act of perfect contrition. 3. We can be confident of a quick release from Purgatory. 4. We acquire the right to a participation in all the good works, penances and merits of the members of the Carmelite Order. Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... The below information is taken from a document written by.... The Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, a traditionalist Catholic congregation based on Papa Stronsay in Scotland, who have issued a document denouncing Paul VI through to Leo XIV as “papal pretenders,” and condemning the reforms of the Second Vatican Council as having “brought about a major schism from the Mystical Body.” The community – often called the “Transalpine Redemptorists” – was founded by Father Michael Mary Sim in 1987 under the auspices of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X, at the encouragement of Cardinal Édouard Gagnon. It was reconciled with the Vatican in 2012 and has operations in the U.S. and New Zealand. I have copied some of their document for you to read to get an idea of where they are going with it. They are very brave and very Catholic to state what they are saying here. The document in its entirety is in a link below. This was posted on LifeSite News and a commentary was done by Anthony Stine from Return to Tradition. What they have to say in this declaration is something for all of us to ponder and ask ourselves.... why have not the Cardinals and Bishops of the past 60 years written something similar....other than they must be of an indifferent mindset and not really care about the souls that are being lost on a daily basis in the Church. Many dioceses are closing churches in the hundreds and this is all due to the changing of the Mass and all the Sacraments of the Church. The Freemasons have succeeded in their infiltration and have wrecked havoc on the entire Church. Below is a small segment of this document for you to see before examining it in its entirety. "The conclusion is clear: we cannot cooperate with those who claim to be Catholic but spiral ever deeper into apostasy28. No Catholic can. 29 The pirates have boarded the Ark of Peter; there is no room for us on the deck. We must climb to the high mast for safety; there at the cross beam hangs Our Crucified Lord. We will only find shelter in His Open Side: Hide us within Thy wounds, never let us be separated from Thee. Here is a simple truth: We are watching the Church, the holy vineyard laid waste by the enemies within. It has reached the point in which it is impossible for any of us to avoid the influence of the false Vatican II Church. When Modernist bishops, priests and laity around us believe that this false direction is desired by God. When they think that Religious Indifference is a good thing, that Ecumenism means treating error as equal to truth, that the Pope can bless what God has forbidden, and many other abominations, then we cannot partake with them without being in grave danger of losing the Faith ourselves. We are forbidden to place our Faith in danger. 5 St. Paul asked: “What fellowship hath light with darkness? What concord hath Christ with Belial?” 30 The answer is: none. There can be no cooperation between those who confess that Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, true God and true Man, is the only way to salvation, and those who teach that all religions lead to the same God. There can be no cooperation between those who uphold the moral law and those who bless what is intrinsically evil. There can be no cooperation between those who offer the traditional Mass and those who have given us a liturgy designed to empty the faith from the hearts of the faithful. We must move on. We must move away from all cooperation with those who have abandoned the Faith and therefore the Church. We must refuse the Modernist hierarchy, the false Second Vatican Council, the false teaching that masquerades as Catholicism31 but is in fact the ancient heresy of indifferentism dressed in modern clothes. St Jerome in about 379 AD, lamenting the overthrow of the Nicaean Creed wrote: “The whole world groaned and was astonished to find itself Arian.” Evil had taken over most of the Church and the world. Today he would write: “The whole world groans and is astonished to find itself Modernist.” Alas, there is as yet little groaning among the Faithful while the shouts of the Revolution of 1789 echo its victory over the ancient Catholic structures." May we pray fervently for these apostate leaders to return to the True Church who have been wrecking havoc on the entire Church causing MANY to lose their souls....including our children! May we cling to Our Lady in these times of great apostasy and beg Her for the necessary graces that we, our families, our parishes, our pastors....the entire world needs right now. May we trust ourselves to Her care in guiding us out of these heresies coming out of Rome and may She lead ALL OF US back to Her Son Jesus Christ! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... I hope you are having a great feast day of St. Joseph. May we ask for his intercession during these trying times. I have an article on him just before this one. I had to address this topic of communism...it ties into the article I wrote just before St. Joseph day...on AI. Below are some proofs that Communism is taking hold of the world...which if we have our eyes open have been seeing it slowly happen before our eyes. It seems that the visit of Our Lady of Fatima would have something to do with Communism since She came at the time Russia was coming up with their plans. She is a good and loving Mother who came to warn of this grave danger entering into the world. Our Lady told Sr. Lucia that if we do not live as she has asked...first, consecrating Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, praying the Rosary, making Eucharistic Reparation, doing our First Saturdays (which by the way is tomorrow) that Communism will control the world. Sr. Lucia told Fr. Fuentes this in his interview with her in 1957 and he immediately asked......even in the USA? Her response was yes! Below are some videos to see how this is progressing and the solution of course would be to go to our First Saturday devotions, pray our daily Rosary for Peace and make the Consecration of yourself and your family to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with the Enthronement. Placing ourselves and our loved ones in their care will bring peace in accepting God's Will and trusting in His gentle care for all of His children. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta...please pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Blessed Feast day of St. Joseph, The Worker! I want to start by asking you to read the article before this that was just posted on the evils of AI and how it will affect those who want to love God above all things. May St. Joseph, pray for the Church and the entire world!! I chose this image because as leader of the Holy Family, Joseph did at times comfort the Child Jesus and now more than ever do we need fathers who work for their families....comfort their children who are suffering like no other time in history! I am repeating some words spoken in the past. It is important to talk about the relationship of Joseph and Mary on the feastday of St. Joseph the Worker because he worked for the Holy Family. Mary and Joseph should be examples for all married couples even though they were equiped with amazing graces that none of us will ever have....but with God all things are possible and we can work and pray to come CLOSE to this relationship that Joseph and Mary had in their marriage. In today's so very CONFUSED world ..... we need St. Joseph....we need Our Lady! Whether we are married or not, but especially if we are married. The graces available to all of us through their intercession are bountiful!!! Mary and St. Joseph's spousal love for each other was like no other between husband and wife. Of course, we know that Our Lady is God's Masterpiece and was created without sin. This helped St. Joseph to be a man of tremendous prayer and virtue. This makes them role models to look up to and to imitate for all married couples. Even though both were virgins, their example in the virtues and in their perfect interior life in union with God is a great example all couples should try to imitate. Joseph was chosen by God to be Mary's faithful spouse and guardian. Grateful was the Heart of Mary to the Eternal Father for this great gift. Mary loved her role as a homemaker, wife and mother because She always embraced God's Will. Their relationship of love, duty, and prayer are truly miraculous because of the graces that the Eternal Father gave to both of them to be living examples of a perfect Holy Family. St. Joseph's responsibilities, were always carried out with perfect humility and love because of his response to God's heavenly graces. When it was time for St. Joseph to be taken from this earth, it is claimed that St. Joseph died a peaceful death even though he was leaving Jesus and Mary whom he was appointed to guard and protect. He had perfect submission to God's Holy Will knowing that God's ways are perfect. He trusted that God would provide. Thus, with St. Joseph's example; God is glorified by sacrifice, by sorrow, by suffering. Our sweet Mother Mary gives us also an example in her release of St. Joseph from this world. May we all turn to St. Joseph for a holy and happy death; and may all mothers, and wives turn to Mary for comfort as She is the Mother of Sorrows and can supply comfort. May we thank God for giving us the gifts of Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph. PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH Dear St. Joseph. we as children of Mary turn to you with love and entrust ourselves to your protection and care. Guard us from the dangers of this world. Keep us innocent, truthful, loving and prayerful. We trust that you will use your powerful intercession with God on our behalf. Please protect the husbands and fathers of the world. Pray that they may turn to God to seek the graces needed to give protection and guidance to all those in their care so that they may all journey toward Heaven. Grant us your blessing and assist us now and at the hour of our death. In imitation of you, we pray that we may have a perfect submission to our own death as God wills it to be. St. Joseph ... pray for us and all fathers of families...make them true leaders. |
