Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

I am sorry that I am posting this late. I have been sick the last couple of days and still am not well as I write this. I received the DVD ...."Pray" for a Christmas gift. It is about Venerable Father Patrick Peyton. The link is below if you would like to purchase it......every Catholic family should view it....around the world. We need another Fr. Peyton today.

Below is a small video of one of his Rosary Rallies (BEFORE VATICAN II) in 1961. This was the Catholic Church before the destruction of the Freemasons. We need a renewal. We need to go back to Tradition, the Rosary and Sacraments and God.

I pray that after all of you see this video, that you will buy the DVD on his life. It is done so very well and there are miracles in it. There is no doubt that this man is a saint that we in America should be proud of and that we should pray to him now!

Can you imagine the Freemasons around the world and in America watching the numbers of Catholics grow with Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Radio and TV broadcasts and Father Peyton's Rosary Rallies.  BREATHTAKING!  You can hear the Lodges around the world and in the Vatican shouting......."WE HAVE TO OPEN THE VATICAN II COUNCIL AND BRING MODERNISM IN TO DESTROY THE CHURCH.....HURRY !"

If you look at the statistics......they plummeted when Vatican II was implemented and continues. Here in Michigan, we lost dozens and dozens of parishes, convents, schools and seminaries. It is that way throughout the world. BUT GOD WILL PREVAIL. May we pray for a renewal....and for the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!!

Blessed Feast day to all and may we pick up our rosary and pray it with our families or if they will not join you.....you pray it for them!

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary pray for us.
Good St. Joseph pray for our men, our fathers, our priests!
Dearest sweet Baby Jesus, bless our nation and the whole world!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

This article is about the canonization of 16 nuns who died at the end of the French Revolution. This seems like the wrong article to write during the Octave before Christmas but we are going to celebrate (as Bishop Sheen would say....the only baby born to die). Jesus came to us on Christmas day to one day offer His Life for our eternal salvation. Well, if one looks at that fact then this article is truly pertinent for today as these heroic women gave their lives to end the Reign of Terror.

Not only is this history good to study and to obtain a devotion of prayer to these good saints, but we need to know the history of the times. There was CENSORSHIP, PROPAGANDA, FEAR TACTICS, AND FINAL PERSECUTION FOR ALL TO WITNESS SO THAT THEY WOULD BE COMPLIANT TO THE NEW GOVERNMENT. Does this sound familiar? Are we about to see the days of the guillotine again??

These nuns on May 27, 1906 were declared beatified by Pope St. Pius X. Yesterday, December 18, 2024, Pope Francis has officially declared the 16 Discalced Carmelite nuns of Compiègne, executed during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, as saints through the rare procedure of “equipollent canonization.” The equipollent, or “equivalent” canonization, announced by the Vatican yesterday, recognizes the long-standing veneration of the Carmelite martyrs, who met their deaths with unwavering faith on July 17, 1794. 

Gathering this information below has brought to my memory of how my children, during homeschooling, were asked to read and write a report on the book, "The Song at the Scaffold". Some of my children no longer go to Mass and consider what I taught them to be "religious trauma". The world seems to dangle  fancy tinsel with may licentious freedoms defended.....but the reality is......this is all tinsel with eternal consequences. Why give up the gold of Heaven for the tinsel of the world. (Below is a video to explain the differences of the world's view of liberty and God's.)

The three links below will give you info on this amazing event of 16 nuns giving their lives as an offering to God to end the "Reign of Terror".  This is critical info for our times as we are entering into the days leading up to the persecution of Catholics AGAIN! Even in our own Church, we have the infiltration of Freemason satanic minions trying to destroy the Catholic Faith. GOD WILL PREVAIL! God allowed these precious souls to offer their lives to end the persecution in France and to allow the Catholic Faith to still be practiced in France by a miracle of God's grace through these heroic souls.  Approximately 30,000 priests, nuns and laity died during this reign of terror. Of course, this number is what is released. God knows the real number. Are we willing to die for the Faith as these precious souls were??? May we now pray to these souls for PERSEVERANCE AND FAITHFULNESS AND FORTITUDE!

Holy Saints of Martyrdom during the Reign of Terror, pray for us.
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us to persevere to the end!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

The O Antiphons are mentioned as early as the sixth century A.D., and they had entered common use in liturgical celebrations in Rome by the eighth century. Sometimes called the “Greater Antiphons,” these verses are recited at Vespers, one each evening, between December 17 and December 23. Each antiphon is based on a different title for Jesus taken from the Old Testament— titles like Emmanuel, Key of David, Dayspring, and Wisdom. When gathered together, as they are in this hymn, these titles give voice to the Israelites’ longing for the Messiah, as well as our own longing for Jesus to come—both at Christmas and at the Second Coming. 

If Advent is slipping by from us without the intensity of prayer that we had hoped for; this is the time to click into the below link to pray each day now until Christmas. The chant is included and beautiful to listen to as we pray the prayers and meditate on the words.

The O Antiphons suggest to us a means of petitioning prayer continually talked about on this site. Since Our Lady of Fatima warned  that communism would come if we did not repent and pray, the following is pertinent. Even though we have a new president coming in next month; dangers lurk around us because of the sinfulness of man. May we pray for the mercy of God and the coming Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that Jesus may reign on the hearts of all men.

When the encyclical Divini Redemptoris of Pius XI against Communism was published in 1937, the Pontiff noted in it that the world was in such a bad state that it was in danger of falling to a state lower than it was before the Redemption. And indeed, we can say that it fell. From 1937 to this date, the catastrophe has happened. The many evils described by Pius XI have only increased since his time. The world redeemed by Jesus Christ is now at a lower state than before His coming.

Professor Plinio Correa de Oliveira states:   "In this situation we long for a restoration so radical that it is similar to a redemption. We hope for a renewal of the fruits of Redemption applied to the needs of our times. We have need of the punishment of those who despise Our Lord and have infiltrated into the deepest recesses of His Church. If they could, they would destroy her. We also call for those who can convert to be regenerated and reconciled with Our Lord. We need the Reign of Mary to be implanted. 

So, for us, in the days that precede Christmas, these antiphons should express an appeal and a plea to the Infant Jesus to hasten a stronger and more triumphant and invincible action to re-implant His Kingdom on earth - with Mary, in Mary and through Mary. 

We should ask Our Lady to obtain this from her Son. We also should ask her to increase our hope that this will happen. In this way, we will pass this week in expectation of these graces as Our Lady was waiting for the graces of Our Lord’s coming before the feast of Christmas. "

May we pray these antiphons with great love and hope. Also, may we keep up our daily Rosaries in order to pray for peace. 

​Our Lady of Expectation - pray for us!!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

Blessed Feast day to all of you. I am snowed in today with an additional 9 inches that fell last night. Thanks be to God for the internet and the availability of Live Masses!

The below link is to all things Our Lady of Guadalupe! Browse this site for all information.  Here are some facts taken from this site to celebrate the day. and may we pray to Her for the miracle of the end of abortion .....worldwide!

Did you know?

• Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Saint Juan Diego on December 9, 10 and 12, 1531.
• The image left on Saint Juan Diego’s tilma is the only true picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe in existence.
• The image has remained intact with all its original vibrancy for 475 years. The natural life span of a cloak made with fiber from the agave or maguey plant is only about 30 years.
• The image is a pictograph which could be read and understood by the Aztec Indians.
• Our Lady appears as a beautiful young Indian maiden and Queen.
• Her eyes are looking down with humility and compassion. She is human, not God.
• She is wearing a blue-green mantle (the color worn by royalty) covered with stars.
• The stars signify she comes from heaven – the Queen of Heaven. The constellations are in the exact position as appeared before dawn on the morning of December 12, 1531.
• Her robe is colored rose or pale red and covered with Aztec flowers, symbolic of an Aztec princess.
• In the center of her robe, overlying her womb, is a four petal quincunx flower in the shape of a cross which is the sign of the Divine and the center of the cosmic order to the Aztec. The Virgin’s Baby, Jesus, is Divine and the new center of the universe.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

I pray everyone is having a holy Advent. The season always goes so fast. I felt the need to post the link below from LifeSite News because of its richness and wealth of knowledge that we so desperately need today related to our dear Blessed Mother. May we spend the rest of these Advent days with Her in anticipation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Blessed Advent to all of you and May our Blessed Mother watch over and pray for all of us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is First Friday of December and a couple of days away from the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. At a time when we are feeling so OVERWHELMED with all going on around us in the world and in the Church; may we turn to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Below are some important words regarding the power of the devotion to the Sacred Heart and how this devotion is necessary to be the warriors of Christ that we need to be in this time of Spiritual War with the help and intercession of our good Queen and Mother Mary!

In the mid-17th Century, Our Lord appeared to a simple 24-year-old nun of the Order of the Visitation of Our Lady at Paray-le-Monial. “Behold this Heart which has so much loved men,” He said, and through St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, He invited the whole world to return to this divine intimacy and friendship by means of devotion to His Sacred Heart.  It is a message of mercy and love!!

So often devotion to the Sacred Heart, when fostered, is only encouraged for individuals or families. There is a real and sincere devotion that has developed around the Promises made to individuals who make the reparatory communions on the First Fridays and who make the solemn enthronement of the Sacred Heart in family homes. But this is still not the ideal requested by Our Lord Jesus Christ, who as Master of the parts of the social body, i.e. individuals, families, and even institutions, must evidently also be Master of the whole human society.

All nations, too, are the work of God and belong to Him, and hence Christ is their Master, Lord and King. The Heart of Jesus wants to reign in the very heart of nations, and in the first place those who rule and represent them, who should recognize this dominion and submit to it. This submission should be more from love than from a sense of duty, not so much because Christ has a right to demand it from rulers, as because they desire to submit to His love.

The cry of Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary “Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going so far as to exhaust and consume Itself to prove to them Its love” is a call of conversion not only to men or families, but also to nations. In a certain way, it was the restoration of Christendom that was being placed within the reach of the King and nobility of France. The plan of Our Lord was to touch all nations and all social classes, beginning with France, First Daughter of the Church. Thus would the Sacred Heart be the cornerstone of a new Christendom. (sadly, this plan failed with France and Freemasonry spread not only in that nation but throughout the world)

There is a tendency in our days to emphasize the goodness, gentleness and pity of the Magnificent Heart of Jesus, Who is certainly moved by the weakness and distress of those whom He loves. But the good shepherd is also a hero and a warrior; and His love is essentially a contending kind of love. The Heart of Christ longs to win a battle. As He said in the Gospel, He did not come to bring peace to the earth, but the sword.

At the time when Our Lord chose to make His revelations to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in the mid-17th Century, the influence of Jansenism was strong among the religious and intellectuals. Jansenism emphasized God’s justice and severity with little emphasis on His willingness to forgive or His divine mercy. The Jansenist doctrine was born from a spirit of pride and self-sufficiency. It suggested man could not receive anything from God without having first merited it morally or intellectually. It was an attempt to harness the infinite largesse of God to the small confines of  the finite limits of the understanding of man.

Our Lord gave the gift of His Sacred Heart to the world to counter this harsh and puritanical spirit that has survived even to our days. In the Sacred Heart of Jesus man finds pardon for the past, peace for the present, hope for the future. The mercy of this Heart, the fountain of all living waters, is so superabundant that even in what seems to be the most irreversible and hopeless moral situations, man can find in this devotion a possibility of pardon and a full return to the life of grace and peace.

The key to the Sacred Heart was given by Our Lord to St. Gertrude: that all can be won with unlimited confidence and unbounded desires. She understood that confidence is the key that opens the treasures of the infinite mercy of God. To her confidence alone, she attributed all the gifts she received. Our Lord Himself told her: “Confidence alone easily obtains all things.” Once when St. Gertrude was troubled with temptation, she implored divine assistance. Our Lord comforted her with these words:

“Anyone suffering from human temptations, who flees to My protection with firm confidence, belongs to those of whom I can say: ‘One is My dove, My chosen one out of thousands, who has pierced My Heart with one glance of her eyes.’ And this confidence wounds My Heart so deeply that were I unable to relieve such a soul, it would cause my heart a sadness which all the joys of Heaven could not assuage … Confidence is the arrow which pierces My Heart, and does such violence to My love that I can never abandon her.”

Hand in hand with confidence Our Lord desires that we become men and women of great desire - an unlimited desire for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary. St. Gertrude taught the great secret for our times: that Our Lord “accepts the will for the deed”. “The goodwill in undertaking a work to fulfill My desire, notwithstanding the difficulty met with, is most agreeable to Me, and I accept the goodwill for the deed. Even if he be unable to succeed, I will reward him as if he had accomplished it,” Our Lord revealed to her.

With the Sacred Heart, all can be won by an unlimited confidence and unbounded desires.
Our Lord accomplished the desires of His friends in proportion to their earnestness and intensity. He accepts the desires of His friends as if they were realized. This is a key for the latter days, when men, weakened by sin and overwhelmed with the problems and chaos confronting them from every direction, feel incapable of an action proportionate to the need.

Thus has this devotion been given to the Church to help to form the warriors who will come to confront the Anti-Christ and his followers. These will be the Apostles of the last times, described by St. Louis Grignion de Montfort:

“In a word, we know that they shall be true disciples of Jesus Christ, walking in the His footsteps of poverty, humility, contempt of the world, charity, teaching the narrow way of God in pure truth, according to the holy Gospel, and not according to the maxims of the world; removed from any human concerns, without attachment to anyone; sparing, fearing and listening to no mortal, however influential he may be. They shall have in their mouths the two-edged sword of the Word of God. They shall display on their shoulders the bloody standard of the Cross, the Crucifix in their right hand and the Rosary in their left, the sacred Names of Jesus and Mary in their Hearts, and the modesty and mortification of Jesus Christ in their own behavior.

“These are the great men who are to come; but Mary is the One who, by order of the Most high shall fashion them for the purpose of extending His empire over that of the impious, the idolaters and the Muslims. But when and how shall this be? God alone knows.”

The Sacred Heart of Jesus wants to inspire the hearts of men of our days with a great combativity and a great desire to accomplish the deeds of which it can seem we are not even capable. These will be the sons and daughters of the Blessed Mary: it was from Her Immaculate Heart that Christ drew His humanity. His Heart began its first beating within the pure virginal womb of Mary who was conceived without original sin. How could God be placed in the womb of a woman who was for even an instant the slave of the devil through sin?? No, She was created special. She was His first Tabernacle!  No human heart will ever be more closely attuned to the Heart of the God-Man than was, and is, that of His Mother. And just as the prayers and desires of Mary hastened the coming of Our Lord, so the prayers and desires of Our Mother with Her children will shorten the days of tribulation, and will hasten the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart! May we pray to be Her children!

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee!
O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, HAVE MERCY ON US AND HEAR THE CRIES OF YOUR MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN FOR THE REIGN OF HER IMMACULATE HEART SO THAT YOU MAY REIGN ON THE THRONES OF ALL OF OUR HEARTS!!
