Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Happy Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! May She guide us to the Heart of Her Son,  Jesus. I will write soon, maybe tomorrow, on the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!  We need to focus on some hope in this super crazy world we are living in. I hope those who frequent my site have investigated the last three posts on what is really going on. 

We are now going beyond the exterior threats and entering into the interior threats of man. There are many right now. We are truly being attacked on all fronts and should be aware of them. REMEMBER.....if we have true faith in God Who is above all of this....we have nothing to fear.   Remember the prayer of St. Teresa of Avila....

PRAYER OF ST TERESA OF AVILA
Let nothing disturb you, 
Let nothing frighten you, 
All things are passing away: 
God never changes. 
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing; 
God alone suffices.

Speaking of St. Teresa, she too had to deal with the problem that is now again coming to surface......the destruction of books. In her life, she laments the fact that during the Inquisition, certain books were told to be burned....and she had many of them.  She survived emotionally from being separated from these books by realizing and making this prayer to Jesus...now I only have YOU!  

Well, we have a new book crisis going on which I first began to realize when my kids were being homeschooled and we would go to the library to check a book out and were told by the librarian...."Oh, we no longer have a hard copy of that book....you can find it on-line now!"  WOW was my response (who is an avid book lover).....my thoughts were....what is going to happen when the grid goes down.....no books for anyone!

Below are some things to listen to in order to help you understand this threat. I advise EVERYONE to get all the books they can...Pre-Vatican II books, survival books, herbal remedy books, first aid books, DIY books or whatever it is that you feel will be necessary for us when the lights go out.  I have been known to say that of all the things I have....I would love to build a bunker for my books.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us.
​St. Teresa of Avila, lover of books, pray for us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer (as best they can) with smoke, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes. YIKES! This summer should wake a few people up but unfortunately the sheeple like to look away because the mainstream media says we are not to believe our own eyes.  It has been awhile since I have done one of these articles but the current news warrants a looky as to what is happening.

The holiness of the Roman Catholic Church determines the holiness of the world. Need I say more. We have one crisis after another in the Church and in the world....they are related. Our Lady of Fatima said that God allows wars as a punishment for the sins of the world. At Akita Japan, Sr. Sasagawa received the following message on October 13, 1973....(Anniversary of the Fatima miracle of the sun).

"If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge... Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity..."

It looks like we are getting small fireworks at the moment and soon to see the grand finale given to us by God with fire falling from the sky....when this happens....only God knows... it feels very soon.  Until then, many countries are seeing forests, cities, wildlife and homes go up in flames worldwide with record heat, drought and of course high winds (necessary to fuel the flames that are generated from heat...right....you knew that....or by "dry lightening" that strikes the earth in record numbers now).

The Vatican is a part of the Agenda 21....The landmark 1992 meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil brought together over 100 heads of state and representatives from 179 nations with the Vatican to reconcile global economic development with environmental protection. Agenda 21 served as the primary blueprint for this goal, outlining strategies to address human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive, "non-binding" action plan adopted by more than 178 governments at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)—informally known as the Earth Summit—held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from June 3 to June 14, 1992.

Now known as Agenda 2030 because they want most of these ideas implemented before that year. Below is a map....look closely...only the pale green zones are areas where people are allowed to live.....all red zones are off limits. I am in northern Michigan and so according to this map.....I am living in an off limits zone.  Could this be the reason to "evacuate" people from areas and then suddenly their homes are no more...."climate change" seems like a good cover for this.  The Vatican is totally on board with this NWO and is why we are seeing the New World Church emerging from the ashes of what once was the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.....there is a remnant but is the remnant strong enough to endure the persecutions....only with Our Lady's help will we make it and this is why we need to cling to Her like NEVER BEFORE. The Rosary has been given a GREATER EFFICACY according to an interview with the real Sr. Lucy for these trying times. 

Below are some videos for you to do research. Cling to Our Lady and never lose your faith....pray for those who have.....the Rosary is powerful....the greater the problem......the more Rosaries must be prayed!  God bless all of you! Stay strong...in the end Her Immaculate Heart Triumphs and there will be an era of peace! Remain in the state of grace at all times and love the Hearts of Jesus and Mary like never before....life is short....God has all we need to reach Heaven....if we only ask! May we ask through the Heart of Mary!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary......

Today is the feast of the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. How we need to honor them! As we learn from the writings of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Church history, her parents came from a lineage of prophets and holy contemplatives. This could only be. 

Anna's great-grandfather was a prophet. Eliud, her father, was of the tribe of Levi; her mother Ismeria was of the tribe of Benjamin. Anna was born at Bethlehem, but afterwards her parents moved to Sephoris, four hours from Nazareth where they had a house and land. In her fifth year, Anna was, like Our Lady, taken to the school in the Temple, where she remained twelve years. She was brought back home at the age of 17. After her mother died, her father moved to Zabulon where Anna married Joachim. Joachim's father was called Matthat and was the step-brother of Jacob (father of St. Joseph) and of Joses. Anna was about 19 when married to Joachim.

Anna and Joachim lived very frugally - and gave to all that was asked of them. They lived with her father for a time but they soon moved out on their own and lived holy lives of sacrifice and offering for many years without conceiving a child until God sent to them Our Queen and Mother - Mary. Both went through many trials and humiliations before this great blessing to them which proves to us that great graces are not met without many prayers and tears. Anna was about 43 when God answered their prayers and she conceived.

During this barren time, Joachim offered many sacrifices in the temple which seemed to prove unfruitful so he went into solitude and prayer with his herds in the pastures. Anna was very distraught and while home alone, she too prayed to God. Both prayed night and day for God to hear their prayers. Soon, an angel appeared to both separately since they were not together during these months of prayer. They were both told that God has heard their prayers and sighs and has answered their prayer. Anna saw the word MARY written on the wall by the angels for her to give to her child. 

Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich explains that it was shown to her that the Blessed Virgin was begotten by her parents in holy obedience and complete purity of heart, and that thereafter they lived together in continence in the greatest devoutness and fear of God. She was at the same time clearly instructed how immeasurably the holiness of children was encouraged by the purity, chastity and continence of their parents and by their resistance to all unclean temptations; and how continence after conception preserves the fruit of the womb from many sinful impulses. In general, she was given an overflowing abundance of knowledge about the roots of deformity and sin which in today's world is very difficult to understand but makes sense. We see so much sin in the world today and do not know how to fight it.

It was made known to her that both Anna and Joachim were full of joy, fervor and gratitude to God when they thought of His compassion towards them. Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich saw them praying together with tears. May we live by their example and do all that we can to imitate these dear holy parents who were greatly blessed by God!

St. Anne and St. Joachim, pray for us!
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I am posting this as a repeat from previous years during this great feast day because it gives info on this great saint of the Carmelite Order.

St. Elijah is an important Feast in Carmel, July 20th – a Prophet used by God to steer people clear of false gods. How we need this Prophet today!

Elijah stood up boldly for God in a time when idolatry had swept his land. In fact, his name means "My God is Yah(weh)."

The false god Elijah opposed was Baal, the favorite deity of Jezebel, wife of King Ahab of Israel. To please Jezebel, Ahab had altars erected to Baal, and the queen murdered God's prophets.

Elijah appeared before King Ahab to announce God's curse: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word." (1 Kings 17:1)

Then Elijah fled to the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan River, where ravens brought him bread and meat. When the brook dried up, God sent Elijah to live with a widow in Zarephath. God performed another miracle there, blessing the woman's oil and flour so it did not run out. Unexpectedly, the widow's son died. Elijah stretched himself on the boy's body three times, and God restored the child's life.

Confident of the power of God, Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the false god Asherah to a showdown on Mount Carmel for it to once again rain. The idolaters sacrificed a bull and cried out to Baal from morning until nightfall, even slashing their skin until blood flowed, but nothing happened. Elijah then rebuilt the altar of the Lord, sacrificing a bull there.

He put the burnt offering on it, along with wood. He had a servant douse the sacrifice and wood with four jars of water, three times, until all was thoroughly soaked.

Elijah called on the Lord, and God's fire fell from heaven, consuming the offering, the wood, the altar, the water, and even the dust around it. The people fell on their faces, shouting, "The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God." (1 Kings 18:39, ) Elijah ordered the people to slay the 850 false prophets.

Elijah prayed, and rain fell on Israel. Jezebel was furious at the loss of her prophets, however, and swore to kill Elijah. This brought on a dark night for him despite all of this success. When Queen Jezebel sent her men to hunt him down for slaughtering most of her false prophets, at the showdown in Mount Carmel, Elijah went into hiding and despair and begged God to take his life (1 King 19:1-4). Instead, the prophet slept, and an angel brought him food. Strengthened, Elijah went 40 days and 40 nights to Mount Horeb, where God appeared to him in a whisper.

Elijah was both a man of prayer and action. He lived in Mount Carmel to savor the delights of deep contemplation and left it only when sent by God to do His bidding. He was a man of no compromise, a man who spoke the truth when it wasn’t popular, a man who allowed himself to be guided by his zeal for the Lord God of Hosts. He was also a man of deep compassion and sensitivities.
 
God ordered Elijah to anoint his successor, Elisha, whom he found plowing with 12 yoke of oxen. Elisha killed the animals for a sacrifice and followed his master. Elijah went on to prophesy the deaths of Ahab, King Ahaziah, and Jezebel.
Like Enoch, Elijah did not die. God sent chariots and horses of fire and took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, while Elisha stood watching.  (2Kings 2: 9-12),

The story of Elijah is always an inspiring one. He is very relevant to us in our modern age. The basic needs of the human heart never really change. The ways of expressing these needs may vary because of culture and time, but the realities of thirst for the supernatural, search for truth, dissatisfaction with the false gods of power, wealth, ambitions and prestige, longing for a deeper respect for human life, the need to call on a power greater than our own, experiences of fear and despair when faced with forces greater than our own, remain the same. Faced as we are in this modern era with materialism, secularism and intellectual atheism, we most often straddle important issues of our day and adopt a “politically correct” and overly simplistic approach to life’s most important questions.

Elijah did not find solutions to his problems by himself but always had recourse to God through prayer. He allowed himself to be filled and guided by God in moments when he sought Him in prayer. He did not weigh the consequences of his actions in the sense of acting only when there was assured victory. He was totally abandoned, docile and trusting that God would finish what he had begun. Even in his dark night of spirit he was docile and humble. He was not afraid to lend a voice to his despair and to acknowledge the fact that he was afraid and inadequate. He desired death because the fight became wearisome. He felt abandoned thinking he was the only one left among the followers of Yahweh. He was ready to give up. Yet, it was through this fear that true courage was born. It was through this emptiness that the cup was filled. It was in this nothingness of man that God was manifested as God.

As a Carmelite, we pray that the spirit of our holy father Saint Elijah be given to us. His double spirit of prayer and action is the hallmark of true Carmelite spirituality. In our age of intellectual rationalizations, the voice of this great prophet is once again heard: How long will we straddle the issue? If we believe in God then we must follow him unreservedly, with docility and courage, and trust.  What does this mean?  It means not counting the cost, not acting only because of assured success, not worrying too much about the good opinions of others.   We accept the fact that we will never understand everything that happens to us despite our greatest and honest efforts. We must trust in God – He alone matters.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Tomorrow marks 775 year anniversary of St. Simon Stock receiving the Scapular from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Today I am posting more from Fr. Terence W Fitzgerald, O Carm. regarding the gift of the Brown Scapular and how Our Lady protects us.

Taken from the book...."Take This Scapular" page 23.

"When Our Lady gave the Scapular, she said that it would be not only a sign of salvation, but also a protection in danger. She was speaking of the most important danger, that of losing God's friendship through sin. In the life of the Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney, there is an example which brings out this fact: One day a young girl came to the Saint to make her confession before entering the convent. He said to her: "You remember, my child, a certain ball which you attended a short time ago?" "Yes, Father," "You met a young man there, a stranger, elegant in appearance and of distinguished bearing, who at once became the hero of the fete? And you wished he would invite you to dance? You were vexed and jealous when he preferred others to you?" "You are certainly right, he preferred others to you." "You are certainly right, Father." "Do you recollect that when he left the assembly you thought you saw, as he walked, two small bluish flames beneath his feet, but you persuaded yourself that it was an optical illusion?" "I remember it perfectly." "Well, my child, that youth was a demon. Those with whom he danced were in a state of serious sin! And do you know why he failed to ask you? It was owing to the Scapular which you did well not to lay aside and which your devotion to Mary impelled you to wear as your safeguard."

In the life of Ven. Francis Yepes, Carmelite Tertiary and brother of St. John of the Cross, hell's hatred for the Scapular is clearly brought out: "One night" Father Velasco, his biographer, tells us, "while he was praying for the conversion of sinners, infernal spirits came to assail him with the most frightful temptations. Finally, seeing the uselessness of their efforts they cried to him in rage: "What have we done to you that you torment us so cruelly? Why do you persuade so many persons to wear and to venerate the Scapular of Carmel? Wait until you fall into our power? You shall pay dearly for it! But the venerable tertiary did not allow himself to be intimidated and quietly finished his prayers. Then he took the discipline, Now, while he was flagellating himself, his Scapular was flicked off and he had no sooner hastened to pick it up and replace it than he heard a fury of demons, as though they felt cheated, crying: "Take it off! Take off the Habit which snatches so many souls from us!" They then cried that three things particularly torment them: the first is the name of Jesus; the second is the name of Mary; and the third is the Scapular of Carmel."

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I said that I would post chapters written by the Carmelite Friars from the book, "Take This Scapular", which was printed in 1949 in preparation for 1951 which was the 700 year anniversary of the Brown Scapular. So lets enjoy their words and enthusiasm from the past for this gift of Our Lady from Heaven since we are not experiencing that in the Modernized Church.

I have chosen the chapter titled, "The Scapular and the Conversion of Sinners" written by Fr. Terence W. Fitzgerald, O. Carm. This is not the entire chapter but only some of its paragraphs.......

"The Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is one of the most efficacious means used by our Mother to save souls. There are innumerable cases on record of how the Scapular has literally snatched sinners from the very jaws of hell. "

An example taken.........

" The following example illustrates the power of the Scapular. "Doctor Francis Zaldia, former President of Republic of Colombia, was an eminent lawyer very much opposed to the Catholic Church. He always belonged to the liberal party, which in that country, as in most countries is hostile to the Church. To him, partly, the expulsion of the Jesuits had to be ascribed. Nevertheless, he had a son who was educated very carefully and finished his studies at the American College of Rome. The Colombian studied for the priesthood and was particularly devoted to the most holy Virgin. Although he prayed to Our Lady incessantly for the conversion of his father, all his efforts seemed in vain. After the young cleric had been ordained a priest, he returned to his native country. A few years after his son's return, the old ex-President became hopelessly ill, but gave no indication that he wished to die as a Christian; on the contrary he awaited death unconcernedly. This almost exasperated the priestly son who stood near the dying father's bed. Making a final effort, the young priest said painfully: "Dear Father, what human skill could do has been done. Do you not want any spiritual assistance whatever? Please, take this Scapular!" The dying president, accepting the offered Scapular, soon made his Confession and declared that he wished to die a son of Mother Church."

There is another miracle in his article that I will post tomorrow. May we keep each other in prayer and try to promote enrollment in the Brown Scapular as Our Lady has asked of us at Fatima in her last apparition on Oct. 13, 1917. Below is the prayer formula to take to a priest with your Brown Scapular to be enrolled if you have not been enrolled or would like to ask your pastor to enroll those who are interested in your parish....this can be done any time of the year but this month of July would be a great time to celebrate the anniversary and save souls in honor of our Lady of Mt. Carmel and of Fatima for the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

​Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Fatima, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

We are in the fourth day of our Novena to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. I have included an image of the vision of hell because on July 13, 1917....Our Lady showed the children Hell....which proves it is a true reality.

Today, I wish to talk about a threat of Communism that seems to surpass the evils of communism experienced so far in all of history  which was referenced in the interview of Sr. Lucia by Professor Walsh in 1946 and Fr. Fuentes in 1957.

On July 15, 1946, Catholic historian and author William Thomas Walsh conducted a landmark three-hour interview with Sister Lucia, the last surviving visionary of Fatima, at her convent in Vilar, Portugal. This historic conversation was subsequently published in his 1947 book, Our Lady of Fatima. 

The interview covered critical aspects of the Fatima apparitions, most notably the conditions required for world peace.

The key takeaways from the discussion include:

• The Consecration of Russia: Sister Lucia clarified that Pope Pius XII's 1942 consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was not entirely satisfactory. She emphasized that Our Lady specifically requested the consecration of Russia in union with all the Catholic bishops of the world. 
• The Spread of Communism: When Professor Walsh asked if "every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism" based on Russia's errors, Sister Lucia answered simply, "Yes". 
• Visual Descriptions: She provided intimate details about the apparitions, describing the Angel of Peace as having a supernatural presence and Our Lady as a figure made entirely of light.

​
In her famous 1957 interview with Fr. Agustín Fuentes, Sister Lucia warned that without prayer and penance, the errors of Russia—meaning Communism—would spread and overtake every country without exception, causing severe persecution of the Church, the Pope, and loss of faith worldwide.
​ 
She outlined how the spread of Communism would unfold and affect the world:

• Global Takeover: Fr. Fuentes asked Sister Lucia if this meant every country, without exception, would be overcome by Communism. She replied directly: "Yes."
• Failure to Heed the Message: She lamented that humanity was not paying attention to the Virgin Mary's requests. Because her warnings were largely ignored, she noted that the "errors" (namely the atheism, materialism, and societal destruction inherent in Communism) would infiltrate all nations.
• The Instrument of Chastisement: She explained that Russia would be chosen by Heaven as an instrument of chastisement to punish the entire world, if the conversion of that nation was not obtained beforehand. 
• The Root of the Spread: Sister Lucia emphasized that this spread is a spiritual battle, asserting that the devil is in the mood for a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin, and is targeting priests and religious individuals to drag souls to hell. 
• The Remedy: When Fr. Fuentes asked what the solution was, she stated that the Blessed Virgin had given a "new efficacy" to the Holy Rosary. She asserted that there was no problem in the world or in families that could not be resolved by praying the Holy Rosary.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, protect us as we wear the Brown Scapular!
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
