 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.  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
I really do not know how to start this article....it is soon the Feast of St. Joseph and may we pray to him for help and intercession to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for what is coming our way very soon with the Data Centers popping up everywhere and the 6G and the AI Technology....one may ask ..... why is this on a religious site? If all of this continues....we will no longer have the freedom to Love God! (God will have to intervene VERY SOON....and I believe He will) This is worse than a nuclear threat. The following videos show the technology that will take away the freedom that we have to offer our life to God and to practice our Faith in God. Freedom of Will will be over. Of course we know that God is allowing this NOW and we pray that He will intervene SOON to give the world a reset by God and not by man. May St. Joseph and Our Lady protect our children and all those who will ACCEPT this new technology because they are also so exposed to it....more than our generation. May we pray more Rosaries for Mary to intervene in stopping this coming to the world! St. Joseph, pray for us. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Sorry I have been away for awhile. Too many reasons to list here as to why..... and at the current moment .... there is too much to comment on since so much is happening in the skies, in the Church, in our families, in our world .... but I will choose the destruction of the Catholic Church which is not a new topic nor will it be the last time mentioned. I want to give the Detoit Diocese as an example of what has happened and is currently happening SINCE VATICAN II and its New Evangelization! Here is an interview to dissect (listen carefully to his chosen words) and below that a commentary from LifeSite News....evaluation below after you view these! OK hopefully you have viewed these two very depressing videos. The first is an interview of the new Archbishop of Detroit who was placed a little over a year ago when Archbishop Vigneron stepped down, March, 2025. He came from an Arizona diocese where Bishop Wiesenberger was known for the most draconian measures taken in the churches during COVID. Looks like he is the right man of power for this job of destruction!
I do not have an official number for you but the total amount of parishes in Detroit at the moment number 209 and it is estimated that it will be down to close to 50 by the end of 2027 or earlier. The Archdiocese is publishing financial and demographic workbooks for each of its parishes online, ahead of area listening sessions to get community feedback. "I promise you there is no set plan; if there was, we wouldn't be doing all of this work. But we are committed to that transparency, and we're committed to a process that engages every person that wants to be involved," said Fr. Mario Amore who is the executive director of parish renewal for the Archdiocese, the department behind the restructuring process. I believe that all of this waste of time of analysis is a front to make it look like they DID NOT HAVE A PLAN.....but in reality DID. Too cruel to just take the ax to it! He began in March 2025 and went right to work with his destruction of the Diocese by firing three influential professors in August, (five months in). Archbishop Edward Weisenburger was accused of breaking several institutional policies and even civil law in his abrupt firings of three renowned and faithful professors from Sacred Heart Seminary. Weisenburger also came under fire in June 2025 (3 months in) for promulgating a new liturgical policy which significantly reduced the numbers of Traditional Latin Mass offerings in the Archdiocese. While the archbishop said he was simply implementing Tradiitionis Custodes, issued by Pope Francis in 2020, he went much further and prohibited ad orientem in the Novus Ordo form of the Mass as well. In April, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski called the changes “by far the bloodiest reduction I am aware of since TC came into force almost four years ago.” And upon their implementation he has noted that the affected parishes were “powerhouses” sustained by thriving traditional communities and warned that the closures would cause “long-term damage to parishes.” Soooo, this is just one diocese of many in the US and in the world which are going to sustain tremendous reductions in parishes and priests. Notice that in the interview Archbishop Wiesenberger uses such twisted language to make this look like a good thing when it is almost a complete obliteration of the life of the Detroit Catholic Community. How many parishes will be in Detroit in 5-10 years time? Hopefully, God will intervene before that time comes.... chastisement maybe for us all??? I know my children's generation have fallen away from the Church in a huge way since COVID. There is not only a lack of priests but no parishioners that want the Sacraments. In the interview with Archbishop Wiesenberger, he talks about Catholics turning to the internet instead of going to Mass for "community". WHAT! He was one of the VERY guilty ones telling Catholics to STAY HOME during COVID and not go to Mass. We better pray for this man's soul and all those guilty of destroying the little faith that was in Catholics before COVID. My own children except one have not gone back to Mass since the COVID restrictions. I know that can not be the only reason for them to stay away.....I am saddened that they are now secular humanists who got college degrees and now look at believing in any religion as ridiculous. I pray for this generation that have witnessed SO MANY SCANDALS and SO MANY PROMOTED HERESIES OUT OF ROME ITSELF! I am not a regular on "Novus Ordo Watch" website but here is a link to information of a very amazing hero during the Vatican II Council....Msgr. Joseph Fenton. Monsignor Joseph Clifford Fenton was a priest of the diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts, ordained in 1930. He taught at the Catholic University of America and served as editor of the American Ecclesiastical Review from 1943-1963. In 1931, he received his doctorate degree in Sacred Theology from the Angelicum in Rome. His dissertation was written under the direction of Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. (d. 1964) and was published in expanded form ten years later as The Concept of Sacred Theology (Bruce Publishing). Of greatest interest to most, of course, will be what Fenton wrote about his struggles against the Modernists during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, when a lot of errors were being fought that later resurfaced at Vatican II, and about the council itself and the theological discussions that took place behind the scenes. Fenton had a direct connection with Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani at the Vatican, which gave him much more influence than other theologians had, and also more inside information. One example of a diary quote from the below link is.............
Msgr. Joseph Fenton died of a heart attack in his sleep on July 7, 1969, less than 5 months before Paul VI’s imposition of the Novus Ordo Missae as the liturgical norm in the Latin rite. The last diary entry is dated March 27, 1969. His death reminds me of the sudden death of Pope St. Pius X when it was revealed to him theat WWI had just started.....he too died of a broken heart! May he rest in peace. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Msgr. Fenton, pray for us! All ye holy priests of Heaven, pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Happy Easter Tuesday. I hate to address this topic but it looks like there will be an escalated war from the demands of our US President. By the end of this day, we could be at the start of a full blown WW3. There is much talk of it and it is hard to prepare because most people who lived through WW2 are gone from us or very elderly. We are definitely in worse shape as a world than the world before WW2. We have many that have apostasized from the True Faith including our Church Leaders and we have far less family farms to depend on for survival. Hopefully, victory gardens WILL BE ALLOWED like they were in WW2. But more importantly, we need to be a people of prayer and faith! My own children are clinging to this world of technology and the neglect of prayer has caused a turning away from God. I am united to Our Sorrowful Mother in tears and prayers over their souls! Many of us are aware of the Briton Stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenny who is only recognized as a victim soul by the Church. Too much doom and gloom for our current Vatican to give her any attention....sad to say! She has been given many prophesies that have already unfolded and continue to unfold. There is a link below showing a four year war that ends with the Three Days of Darkness. It seems that communism has a play in it which we see in all of our surveillance governments, she talks of an invasion from Middle East to Europe beginning with Rome. She talks of it lasting about four years with it ending with the Three Days of Darkness. We keep hearing 2030 as the great reset year. I hope and pray it is the great reset for God. The linked video is very short but to the point and stresses that NOW MORE THAN EVER do we need to be faithful. We all want to be protected from what is to come and according to our conscience and the words of Marie Julie Jahenny; we need to be faithful - faithful to God and Our Lady in what they ask of us....prayer, obedience to the laws of God, sacrifice and fasting for a means of strength and reparation. I will mention here the gift of the Purple Scapular along with the request to remain God's faithful remnant. Included is another short video on this by Fr. Ripperger. Regarding the Purple Scapular, the Mother of God and her son Jesus gave the Purple Scapular to the Catholic mystic, Marie-Julie Jahenny, to protect your family from the worst possible natural disasters and supernatural dangers. Jahenny foretold (along with other Catholic visionaries) that a worldwide "judgment-in-miniature" known as the Warning is coming to the entire world, followed by great chastisements. Our Lady urged all of us to prominently display this "unknown" Purple Scapular on a wall in our homes. Those who do this "will see their family and home protected... from fires, chastisements, storms, and darkness. They will have light as if it were as plain as day." She said it is "like a lightning rod beneath which the blows of divine wrath will not strike." Even intruders bent on harm will be struck down. Below is also a link to obtain your Purple Scapular. This link contains another video of detailed explanation and the prayers to be prayed. It would be great if you could obtain one for your home and those of your loved ones....but as Fr. Ripperger states....one needs to remain faithful and be a child of prayer for its protection. May we pray to Our Lady, Queen of Peace as we enter into this time of chastisement and purification. May She pray for all of Her children to remain faithful and to help bring many many souls to the Heart of Jesus beginning with our own loved ones who have been deceived and have gone astray. Blessed Easter Tuesday!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Blessed Easter to all! Easter brings tremendous hope...which is greatly needed today when there is so much to cause feelings of hopelessness as we see a world and a Church in chaos. May the following words and link below of Bishop Sheen shed some light in a dark world..especially since this was done at wartime and we are now again in wartime.....Blessed Easter to all!! "His enemies remembered that He had said that He would rise again, but they were certain He would not. They were afraid that the Apostles would come and steal away the Body and then say He had risen. Guarding against such deceit, they went to Pilate, asking him to set a watch of soldiers about the tomb for three days, in addition to which they would attach their own official seal to the stone before the entrance. Pilate acceded to their request. Then the Evangelist Matthew fittingly closed his Gospel with the most ironic sentence in literature: “And they departing made the sepulcher sure.” The seal was placed on the sepulcher, and a great stone was rolled in front of the door. His enemies took every precaution against fraud, but could take none against Divinity. As they made their way down Calvary’s hill, such thoughts as these ran through their minds: “Now, His fishermen can go back to their nets and their boats; their Kingdom is a mockery! As for their Master, His Heart was so pierced that blood and water came from it. Our vigilance and that of the soldiers will not permit any one to steal away the Body. He who said He had life in abundance is now dead; He Who said He could summon twelve legions of angels to His assistance now is cold as death; He Who said He could raise up a child of Abraham from a stone is now buried under stone. The Impostor is dead! How wonderfully effective is a Roman death! Nothing can survive a Crucifixion! He will never rise again! Is that true? Can one rise from the dead? Does not the very fact that He was born in a stranger’s cave and buried in a stranger’s grave prove that human birth and death are equally foreign to Him? Look about at nature. Is not the springtime the Easter Day of the Good Friday of winter? Has not all death within itself the germs of life? Does not the “falling rain bud the greenery”? Does not the falling acorn bud the tree? Why should all creation rise from the dead and not the Redeemer of creation? Therefore – The God of creation rose on that first Easter morn! (Taken from "The Divine Romance" by Bishop Sheen, 1931)  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Good Friday .... The day Jesus offered up His whole being for the sins of the world and to open the gates of Heaven for us to live with Him for all eternity! This article is for the most part a repeat of a previous article because I love the reality of Jesus and Mary working together for our salvation...The CO-REDEMPTRIX word needs to be said here.....WOW....how sad the state of the Church is today to deny Our Lady such a title! It is absolutely embarassing that Rome wants to strip Her of this! My focus today will be on Mary during this great time of suffering in being at the side of Her Son Jesus. The Heart of Our Dear Blessed Mother was always united to Her Son Jesus....She is His Mother....She suffered His Death in Her Immaculate Heart since the sight of Her Sweet baby in Bethlehem....for She knew what lied ahead for both of them. At Christmas, we hear the song, "Mary Did You Know". It is a moving song but not very accurate. Mary had to have known what was ahead for both of them or Her fiat to being the Mother of God would not have been honest. God allowed Her to know the future in order for Her fiat to be real..to be honest...to be sincere. She knew what was ahead for Jesus and for Herself. Fr. Faber quotes from "City of God' by Mother Mary Agreda which many saints have read from and it is approved. He mentions that Jesus actually went to Her for Her blessing before His Passion commenced because both knew this was the time of His Sacrifice. In all humility, She fell to Her knees to receive His instead. The two knelt in prayer together and each blessed the other. HOW BEAUTIFUL! My article today will be thoughts taken from Father Frederick Faber's book..."The Foot of the Cross". I highly recommend all of his books but this one covers all seven of the Blessed Mother's dolors in a very deep and poetic way. Fr. Faber wrote books, hymns and poems and died at a fairly early age....I was astounded that he had accomplished so much before he was called home. Father Faber explains that with each dolor...there is a distinct grace and love that increases in the soul of Mary. Each dolor as it comes, falls upon greater love, and also upon love that has suffered more, and therefore gives Her a great capacity for suffering because of that increased LOVE. Because of the many mystical gifts the saints have experienced over the ages, we can be certain that by a miraculous grace Mary assists, in spirit, at the Agony in the Garden, sees our Lord's Heart unveiled throughout, and feels in Herself, and according to Her measure, a corresponding agony throughout His entire Passion. What does God allow Her to see... physically... spiritually...... She sees the treachery of Judas, in spite of Her intense prayers for him. She hears the voice of Jesus, She hears also the blows given to Her Beloved. She hears the sound of the scourging, She sees Him at the pillar, and the people around Him sprinkled with His Blood. She sees the guards of Herod mock the Everlasting. She has beheld the ruffians in the guard room celebrate the cruel coronation of the Almighty King. She heard Pilate say, "Behold the Man". She heard the wild blasphemies against Jesus by His own people which still rings in our ears and echoes down through the centuries. Fr. Faber beautifully says, "Never had maternal love sat on such a throne as that one in Mary's Heart." When the moment has come for the meeting on the way to Calvary. Jesus halts for a moment. He lifts the one hand that is free, and clears the blood from His eyes. Is it to see Her? Rather, that She may see Him. His look of sadness, His look of love. She approaches to embrace Him. The soldiers thrust Her rudely back. Oh, misery... and She is His Mother! For a moment She reeled with the push, and then again was still, Her eyes fixed on His, His eyes fixed on Hers; such a link, such an embrace, such an outpouring of love, such an overflow of sorrow. She follows Him all the way to Golgotha and witnesses the falls, the jeers, the kicks, the trampled on Precious Blood, the insults; ALL the pain and suffering of His Way of the Cross. Can anyone deny the fact that She is our Co-Redemptrix??? Fr. Faber ends with a message to all of us. He states the following...."Would it not be an unproductive day in which we did not meet our Lord? For is not that the very meaning of our lives? If the day is meant for the sun to shine, it is but half a day, or rather it is night, if only the material sun shall shine, and the Sun of justice also rise not on us with health upon His wings. We go out to meet Jesus in every action of the day; but we require this fourth dolor to admonish us that we must rarely expect to meet Him except with a Cross, and that a new one. It is always with the Cross that we encounter Him. Why, then, are we so amazed when crosses come??? When it has happened thus so often, do we not see that it is a law, a law of the kingdom of grace, and that not to perceive it is to lose half its blessing, by missing the promptitude of obedience? What cross we shall meet today we know not and sometimes we cannot guess. But we know that if we meet Jesus we shall meet a cross, and evening will find us with the burden on our backs but with Jesus and Mary at our side. Some men meet Him, and turn away. Some see Him far off, and turn down another road. Some come close up, and leap down the precipice at the side, as if He were a destroying angel blocking up the way. Some pass by, pretending they do not know Him. He has been walking cross-laden in thousands of earth's roads today; but He has had a few honest greetings. Some follow in the sullenness of servile obedience, and drag their cross, and it jolts upon the stones, and hurts them all the more, and they fall, but their falls are not in union with those three of His upon the old Way of the Cross. Few kneel down and kiss His feet, and take the cross off His back and shoulder it and walk by His side, singing Psalms and smiling with the knowledge of mingling their love and reparation with their Lord and Savior. Oh the beauty of that day's sunset to such as these! So let us embrace our cross as Mary, Our Mother did, and follow Jesus to Heaven...our true Home! No one's face is toward Heaven when it is not toward Calvary....but it must be done in union with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the spirit of LOVE and REPARATION! Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces and Co-Redemptrix, pray for us and lead us to Jesus so that we, like You, will be at the Foot of the Cross!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Today is Holy Thursday and it begins the three days with all of its mysteries that we have been preparing for all of Lent. In the liturgical rites of Holy Thursday, the Church helps us to relive the last parting hours of our sweet Jesus in the Upper Room, the hours of great love and importance in giving us Himself in the Holy Eucharist, the great gift of the priesthood and at last -- his agony in the garden before He is arrested. I am covering these as I did in the past. I was privileged to read as a teenager, St. Alphonsus’ great works of “The Glories of Mary” and “The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ". I realized Jesus wants us to be with Him at this time on Holy Thursday evening. (St. Margaret Mary honored every Thursday night of the entire year with Reparation) Since then, by the grace of God, I have honored this time from the Holy Mass till Midnight on Holy Thursday – to be with Jesus in His agony – to pray with Him. If we were truly lovers of our Lord and Master, we would all be there on Holy Thursday not only at the service but during the time of Adoration between the Mass and Midnight, when Our Lord is in His Agony in the Garden. His own apostles fell asleep and one of his apostles betrayed him. It is the time when His entire Passion and Death are presented to Him and He views all of our sins and sees how little His sufferings would help poor mankind for the sole reason ------ they will reject and spurn His love. He suffered enough to save us all – but MANY will be lost for the sole reason – MANY will REJECT HIS LOVE! Don’t you want to be with Jesus at this moment? Don’t you want to console His aching Sacred Heart? There is no measure of time with God. We can be like St. Mary Magdalen and offer our constant love and adoration. We can be like St. John and tend to the sorrows of Our Lady all the way to the cross. We can be like St. Veronica who wipes His face by offering our love and reparation as He Himself asked for in the Golden Arrow Prayer. And most of all, we can be imitators of our dear Queen and Mother who was always present to Jesus with Her prayers. Another great gift is the gift of the Holy Eucharist which also demands our reparation as we have learned at the apparitions of Fatima. Jesus gives of Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. He did not have to do this. He gives Himself in an unbloody way at Mass but does He suffer any less?? NO – absolutely NOT. He makes Himself vulnerable – as a little white host FOR CENTURIES – to be loved yes by some but He is subjected to MANY MANY SACRILEGES by priest and people alike! We all know what those are – I do not want to list them here. May we pray the Fatima Reparation Prayers today especially! May we pray them always to console the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! (These can be found on this website) Finally, we cannot forget the great gift of the priesthood. Today more than any time in history is the priesthood scorned, mocked and scandalized! POOR POOR JESUS!! We have many Judases and for those dear priests who are faithful – they are suffering as Our Lord and Master. If we all knew what a priest truly is – we would have greater reverence and we would encourage our boys to beg Jesus to call them there and to at least offer their lives and to ask if it truly is God’s Will for them – but no – Satan has caused such havoc to the priesthood that many would never dare recommend this to their sons. POOR POOR JESUS! What is a priest? A priest walks in “persona Christi” – he is another Christ! He brings us Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. He brings us the sacraments that we all need – Baptism, Penance, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders and Extreme Unction. Without a priest we would not have Jesus truly present in the Eucharist – they are inseparable! There are many things to be upset about that came about during the Second Vatican Council but this is truly despicable – the loss of love for the priesthood. To raise the people up and to lower the priest was intentional by the ecclesiastical Freemasons who infiltrated the Church. One of my friends just told me that her granddaughter was the only one in the class that could explain the difference between the priest and the rest of the laity that help serve at the Mass. This is where the Second Vatican Council has brought us and where the present Vatican regime wants us. In conclusion – we need to make Reparation, Reparation, Reparation! May we spend time today with our sweet Jesus in His Agony in the Garden. May we watch with open eyes and open hearts to the sacrileges that have caused such sadness to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. May we offer up to God ourselves, as the saints of old have done in order to love Him with our whole heart, mind and soul! Oh Most Holy Trinity, My God, My God, how I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament! Thank you Jesus for Your love for us – we are sorry for lack of love in return. Give us the grace to love You always and then do with us as You will. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Mother of priests – pray for us!! |
