Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is a controversial day in the Modern Carmelite Communities. If fact, his feast day is taken from many of their calendars because they choose to ignore Tradition and claim it is just a legend. Many modernist Carmelite authorities (some passed away now) have believed that the promotion of the small Brown Scapular "was an abuse". They began to view it as only a habit meant for the religious and friars of the Order. They began to say that it was promoted with the intentions of viewing it as a "good luck charm". In order to stop this from happening.....they just stopped promoting it!  Do you see it being promoted? (Link below on a book that gives details to the history of the Brown Scapular and the scandals it has encountered by its suppression. The book title is "The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Authenticity and Definite Proof" by Rosalia Vitale Kehrig...they are hard to find now but I have a link for a download below)

An encouraging book to search for but is not in print anymore is "Take This Scapular". It was put together by the O Carm Fathers in 1954 in order to help the laity celebrate the 1957, 700 year anniversary of the Brown Scapular, and help them promote enrollment in the Brown Scapular! WOW! Did we do that 50 years later at a time when heresies were running rampant....certainly not!

On 13th October 1917, in her final apparition to the little shepherds of Fatima, the Blessed Virgin Mary came attired as Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding up the Brown Scapular. As Sister Lucia reminds us: “Our Lady held the Scapular in her hands because She wants us all to wear it”. And “to wear” the Scapular is the outward sign of a sincere inner desire to avoid all occasions of offending Our Blessed Lord by our sins. This is why the Brown Scapular is closely linked to Our Lady’s warnings and appeal to us at Fatima. By wearing it, we are showing our consecration to Her Immaculate Heart and asking Her for Her protection during these trying times. Do we need protection in these trying times? It is also a way to remind ourselves that we daily belong to Her and it is a means of constant prayer to Her for Her guidance and protection from the evil snares set daily all around us.

Please help promote enrollment in the Brown Scapular. One need only be enrolled once by a priest and they are enrolled for life. The first Scapular needs to be blessed for this enrollment and then when it gets worn....it is to be burned or buried (since it is a sacramental). The subsequent scapulars do not need to be blessed but can be if you wish.

Below are links to help you with more info on the Brown Scapular.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!
St. Simon Stock, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

This article is not a happy one. In conversations with my close friends, I have stated many times that it would be nice to write a "fiction" book on the state of the world IF THOSE INSTRUCTED BY HEAVEN DID AS THEY WERE TOLD! France was told to consecrate itself to the Sacred Heart 100 years before the King and Queen were guillotined and the Freemasons threw out the Monarchy and set up a New Republic.
Lucia informed her Bishop that the Pope in Rome was suppose to reveal the Third Secret in 1960 (because it would be more clear to the world then). BUT below is the story of what happened.

I have taken these segments from the book The Fourth Secret by Antonio Socci.....

ACTIONS DONE BY POPE JOHN XXIII (Canonized by "Pope" Francis in 2014)

"After having read it (The Third Secret), in the face of the Madonna's request that Her words be revealed to the world in 1960—the message of the Queen of Prophets not being to his liking—Pope Roncalli decided to do exactly the opposite: He decided to bury the message and not to give any explanation, either to the Church or to the world. Finally, as we have seen, he caused to be attached to the envelope from Sister Lucia his heavy opinion, destined to weigh down upon his successors, according to which the message “could be a manifestation of the divine and could not be.” As if to insinuate that it involved the fantasies of a nun. Nevertheless, it was precisely in 1959 that signs and news of extraordinary graces continued to be linked to a pilgrimage in Italy of the statue of the Madonna of Fatima, the coldness of Roncalli was evident. “The statue of the Madonna of Fatima,’ writes Frere Michel, “arrived at Rome on September 14. It remained there until the 17th. During these three days, great solemn ceremonies were conducted at the Flaminio Stadium, at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and at the Basilica of St. John Lateran. The Mayor of Rome welcomed the Virgin of Fatima. The crowds flocked in to see Her. But Pope John XXIII did not move. He did not pronounce even a single word of welcome to the Virgin, who visited his diocese at the end of a triumphal voyage around the world.” Pope Roncalli did not even wish to receive the proposal by the Bishop of Leiria to renew the consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary performed by Pius XII.".........

"The message of Fatima evidently was felt to be profoundly embarrassing by one who was preparing to agree to what he thought to be a masterpiece of diplomacy and ecumenism: a pact with the Kremlin to have two Russian Orthodox observers at the Council, guaranteeing to that regime, in exchange, that the Council would not formulate any condemnation of Communism or the Soviet system.” Beyond the judgment (the worst possible) that one must give to this compromise of the “moral liberty” of the Catholic Church and of the Council itself, and moreover in return for a mess of pottage (two orthodox observers well-chosen and controlled by the KGB), one remains horrified in the face of a Council—what is more, a “pastoral” council, and thus one occupied with the historical reality of the Church—that pronounces itself on everything, but does not proffer a single word on the ideology of a regime that since 1917 had realized (and was still realizing in those years) on a planetary scale the most immense and bloody work of eradication, extermination, and persecution of the Church in its bimillenial history."

(My comment - this is beyond belief! Very traitorous and must have made the Virgin Mary weep over the insults to Her Son Jesus!)

ACTIONS DONE BY POPE PAUL VI (Canonized by "Pope" Francis in 2018)

The decisions and choices of John XXIII were also followed by his successor Paul VI, who—for his own part—added the annoyed and public rejection of Sister Lucia: “It is said that Lucia that day at Fatima asked for a meeting with the Pope,’ recalls John Guitton, who was his friend and confidante. The Pope responded brusquely: “Address yourself to your bishop. According to his French friend, “Paul VI had a sort of generic aversion for visionaries. He maintained that, since revelation is complete, the Church has no need of these things, to which one must not give an exaggerated importance.’ Are the “little ones” chosen by Mary despised? Are prophecies despised? Aura Miguel has observed that on the day he rejected a meeting with Sister Lucia, the last living visionary of Fatima, at the Portuguese sanctuary, Paul VI “received that evening civil and military authorities, members of the government and the diplomatic corps. The Pope also held an audience with the Portuguese episcopate, with representatives of Catholic Action and with other Christian churches. Returning to the Monte Real Airport, he found the time to make a visit to the monastery of Batalha.’’ Why did he have time for everyone except she whom the Madonna had chosen as Her messenger? Fifteen days later in response to a question by John Guitton: “What impression do you have of Lucia?”, Pope Montini gave an answer in which everything shows through: “Oh, she is a very simple girl! She is a peasant without complications.” The aristocratic Montini, the intellectual of French formation, did not mention that the Madonna had chosen that girl as a depository of Her exceptional message to the Church and to humanity. He saw in Lucia only “a peasant.”

It was precisely Montini—the Pope according to whom “the Church does not have need” of the extraordinary assistance of the Madonna and can do without Her maternal aid—who shortly thereafter had to recognize dramatically that, within a few years of the Council’s conclusion, the Church was in the process of “autodemolition.”” Paul VI even shouted out desperately his apocalyptic feeling that “from somewhere or other, the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God” Then he added bitterly: “Tt was believed that after the Council there would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. Instead there came a day of clouds, tempests, of darkness.” Pope Montini hinted at some self-criticism (“The opening to the Church became a true and proper invasion of the Church by worldly thinking. We have perhaps been too weak and imprudent”). However, it was seen quite clearly who had opened the door to the world and to the “smoke of Satan.” In fact, he persisted in error: The most devastating of the errors was the traumatic “coup detat” by a “minority revolution” that imposed the liturgical reform (with its thousand abuses), hailed by Paul VI but clearly not blessed by God. The prohibition of the millennial Latin liturgy of the Church was effectuated by a decision that contravened even the documents of the Council. The modality and contents of this “coup detat” have had disastrous effects on the orthodoxy and faith of the people, while—as the writer Guido Ceronetti has noted—that folly “pleased Communist authorities... who were not stupid, having in their bestial ignorance of the sacred perceived that a crack had been opened.” Paradoxically, even then the enormity of the error was recognized more by the world of culture, even lay culture, than by the ecclesiastical class, who were sometimes modernists, and in other cases superficial and ignorant, or opportunistic and cowardly. The harshest factual judgment on the methods and contents of this reform was given by a pastor as conciliar as Joseph Ratzinger: “I am convinced that the ecclesial crisis in which we find ourselves today depends in great part on the collapse of the liturgy, which sometimes comes to be conceived ‘as if God does not exist’: as if it no longer matters whether God is there and is seen and heard in it. But if in the liturgy there no longer appears the communion of the faith, the universal unity of the Church and of her history, where does the Church appear in her spiritual substance?”

CONCLUSION....
Now that so many years have passed since 1960 (65 years). We can see the damage that was caused by NOT CONSECRATING RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART AS OUR LADY HAD ASKED. THIS LACK OF RESPONSE AND PRIDE BROUGHT THESE TREMENDOUS CONSEQUENCES. As stated in previous articles, WE ARE SEEING THAT THIS CHURCH WANTS TO SEE THE LATIN MASS DESTROYED! IN DETROIT ....THEY HAVE TO GO AS OF JULY 1ST. IS THE NEW POPE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS DEMOLITION?Again, I must repeat that it is not about "tradition per se" ...it is about the flow of GRACE in the world with the unbloody sacrifice on the altar of the Latin Mass. I am not a theologian but from all the changes they did to the "NEW MASS" there is always question of its validity. Proper Matter, Form and Intention must be there. They have changed the Form, Some have changed the Matter and Who Knows about the Intention of these Modernists.  Anyone for writing a novel on what would have happened we were obedient to Heaven and its commands???

Let us do our part and daily pray the Rosary, frequent the Sacraments (Latin Mass), pray the Fatima prayers of Reparation DAILY! Know that in the end.....Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph. I am convinced that when there is a renewal in the Church...the New Mass will be no more and only the true Mass will survive. If we must go under until that day comes as in past Catholic History...then we must do that. If we are called to die for defending the true Mass like Edmund Campion and Margaret Clithrow....then Praised Be Jesus Christ for choosing us!

We are sad creatures!   Holy Mother Mary.....pray for us!
And may the day come when all that this Council did will be null and void and may we go back to the pre-Vatican II days of being Catholic! Pray for all those who were lost and are still being lost. May Our Lady lead us back to Her Son and may we remain faithful till the end!  

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is the Feast day of Our Lady of Fatima. It has been 108 years since She first came to give us these Motherly messages of love and warning. It seems like a long time ago but God's time is eternal so we have a different perspective on time than He does. There must be prayers being sent to Heaven although we have seen two World Wars, much persecution, a great falling away from the faith, etc. We are due for another World War if we see what brought on the last two. We also know that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for the very sin that is running rampant today. These are all sober messages...BUT....there is hope. As long as we can still breathe, we can pray and offer reparation. That is what we are all called to do in order to lessen the punishments that sin gives us. It is a great mystery how sin must be repaired for by suffering. The cross teaches us this as well as all the sickness, wars and deaths we have experienced. It is a healthy thing to look at all of this suffering as a means to heal the souls of men....otherwise....we would be too sad to participate in prayer and reparation. It is a great mystery. A mystery the world DOES NOT WANT to understand.

When the Third Secret was to be revealed in 1960; Pope John XXIII read it and said it would never be revealed and claimed that they are not "doom and gloomers". Well, ignoring the facts won't change them. We can dream all we want that this life is filled with sandy beaches of summer fun and nights filled with drink and dance BUT the reality that sin exists and must be repaired for should be a Church priority. There is no doubt that the 3rd Secret had everything to do with the apostasy that began in 1960 against the Truth Catholic Teachings and the substitution of The Mass with a happy clappy New Mass and the removal of catechism on sin and hell. All the Sacraments were changed. How we bless Holy Water is changed. Our children are the victims of this. My own children claim that I fed them "religious trauma" and that while in the world they feel guilty while  "having fun". OK ---we can have fun....I have fun BUT we need to listen and take heed to the WARNINGS that come from Our Good Blessed Mother who only wants what is best for our eternal salvation.  I told my children who have shared this with me....that they need to take that complaint up to our Heavenly Mother Mary....I am only sharing what it is She has come to Warn us of.

If "religious trauma" is all the warnings of what is to come....what kind of "religious trauma" will come to those who do not take heed with their prayers and reparation? What "religious trauma" will come to many for all eternity who refuse to live as the children of God and His Holy Mother?

After World War II, there seemed to be a revival in Catholic Faith. Archbishop Fulton Sheen had his own radio show to teach the masses (including those outside the Faith that converted). We had Father Patrick Peyton doing Rosary Rallies for tens of thousands here in America and abroad. We had the Blue Army started by Mr. Haffert that helped promote the Fatima messsage in a profound way around the world. (It is now called the Fatima Apostolate. Do we have soldiers of Christ after modern Confirmations? "Army" "soldiers" - these words might hint that we are at war. War? War with who? "The devil does not exist anymore and hell is empty!)

After WWII we saw a time of booming Catholicism. If you were a Freemason (the enemy) in Europe or in the states and saw this rise; would you not stand up and say ENOUGH. The infilitrators in the Vatican and all around the world did their best to get a new Council going to make changes that would destroy Christ's GROWING Church.....What happened? New Mass, no veils, no communion on the tongue and you receive standing and the Host is placed in your unconsecrated hands, tabernacles off to the side or IN THE BACK. No emphasis on confession because heck we don't sin anymore and what is better - there is no hell. The catechism was no longer taught in schools. Public schools threw out prayer. God was being stifled inside and out of the Church. Churches closed, few new priests, nuns, sisters, schools, missionaries. convents, monasteries etc. We saw it all and if you did not see it....look it up....it happened.

So here we are 108 years later still waiting for the Consecration of Russia, The Reign of Her Immaculate Heart for the era of peace that we all so desperately want and need.

So today, let us be like Sr. Lucia who prayed the Fatima prayers of reparation until her dying day (whenever that was). May we be faithful to Our Lady and pray the prayers that were taught as well as the daily Rosary and the wearing of Her Brown Scapular so that we can be in Her Army fighting the good fight against evil and winning for God many souls.

Pray for the Reign of the Immaculate Heart.....who knows....maybe this Pope will (with all the bishops) consecrate Russia the proper way. Our Lady said it would be done and that it would be late.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

A day to honor life! Mother's bring life into the world and nourish it. A great day to honor Our Blessed Mother who has given us Jesus and continues to nourish us with graces until we are finally in Heaven. May we thank the Eternal Father for giving us so good a Mother!

I am going to share some passages from the book, "Fatima or World Suicide" since we are in this Novena to Our Lady of Fatima to demonstrate the love Mary gives through Her intercession.....

The author of the book states....."At one o'clock in the morning on May 13, I saw a young man of nineteen approach my confessional. "Father,' was his astonishing request, "I want you to hear my confession, give me Holy Communion, and baptize me. " I spoke some words of encouragement to him, and made an appointment with him for a later hour. "I came here to see what it was like,' he explained, "but perceiving the faith and fervor of the pilgrims, I have felt something within me which urges me to become a Christian like them!"

On another occasion, the Bishop of Leiria was imparting the Eucharistic Blessing to the sick when a distinguished looking gentleman was seen kneeling among the sufferers, as if he wanted to receive that Benediction. He was told it was exclusively meant for the sick. "I know that well," he replied, "but alas! I am sick of soul." Greatly touched, his Excellency stopped, raised up the Monstrance, and made over the kneeling figure a great Sign of the Cross. A sick soul had found the way to healing!"

Mary is such an attentive Mother to Her children. She is always there to hear our needs; but we need to be attentive to Her as well. Fatima is the call of God's Mother for a renewal of fidelity to prayer and penance. Pray the Rosary. Pray the Rosary is what Our Lady of the Rosary asks. This was the Blessed Mother's repeated request not only to the children of Fatima but wherever She visits. We are called to bear the sufferings God wants to send to us in reparation for sin and for the conversion of poor sinners. Are you a parent of one or more children who have strayed away from the Faith? We can be sorrowful with Our Blessed Mother and beg Her to intercede for us to obtain conversions like the ones stated above. Devotion to Mary and the Rosary have often turned the tide when defeat and destruction of Christendom seemed absolutely inevitable. She is the one appointed by God to crush the head of the serpent. We must go to Her in confidence but at the same time unite our sorrows with the Sorrows of Mary as She has witnessed countless souls being lost over many centuries.....

"Pray, pray very much and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because there is no one to make sacrifices for them." (Our Lady of Fatima to the children)

May we obey Our Blessed Mother's words and pray and make sacrifices for our children who have lost their way.

Blessed Mother's Day to all of you self-sacrificing mothers!

Thank you Eternal Father for so good a Mother!  We love Her!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

The Church will be treated as Jesus was --- betrayed! Is the Bride of Christ in those days? Denying the Holy Sacrifice on the Cross is the biggest battle of Satan!  This means replacing the "unbloody sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross" in the Sacramental Mass with an empty gathering.

Below is a post that Anthony Stine made today on his 'Return to Tradition' channel on Youtube. He reads from the book, "The Keys of This Blood" by Malachi Martin in 1991.  It is WORTH listening to until the end (45 min video). I will listen to it again because it has too much in there to absorb.  We are living in a great apostasy and the Church we have in Rome is betraying Jesus Christ and His true teachings. The consequence has been and is a slow compromise of the true Faith...leading many unaware sheeple over a cliff. There is so much we can say here; but of course the most important loss is in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (and the destruction of belief in the mediative role of the Blessed Mother). PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK on this if you have not already. If you truly seek the history of how we received a "New Mass" in relation to the teachings of St. Pope Pius X on how modernism is the synthesis of all heresies.....you can only conclude that all the changes that were made over the years to this New Mass were done to destroy the Faith in Christ's flock....I stand firm in this! The proof is there. (Last link at bottom)

Like Anthony Stine states at the end of this video.....all we can do now is PRAY that this new Pope will receive graces. We pray that through the prayers and intercession of Our Blessed Mother that this new Pope and all of us will remain faithful to Her Son. Pope Leo XIV gave his opening statements to us with an invocation to Mary and a Hail Mary....May we all pray to Her that She shower him with untold graces!!!!

Another thing that I want to mention is the betrayal of Our Blessed Mother at the Second Vatican Council.  (I will post below a link to "The Rhine Flows into the Tiber" PDF). I advise you to read the chapter on The Schema on the Blessed Virgin Mary found starting at page 90 to 95. It is very telling on where the Second Vatican Council was going. For all of us here who have a devotion to Mary, we know of Her powerful intercession. We know that as they were entering into the Couniil...the devil was unleashed and corruption was (and still is) found everywhere. We know that Our Lady wanted the Third Secret of Fatima to be revealed in 1960 and it was NOT. We know that with all that were present at the Council.....the Consecration of Russia as requested by Our Lady for world peace could have easily been done AND WAS NOT. We now see what has transpired since that date and can only conclude that the Third Secret was related to the mess of this apostasy coming out of Rome. Even if the authorites disobeyed Our Lady in NOT revealing this Third Secret to all of us......THOSE AUTHORITIES SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HEED TO ITS WARNINGS AND PONDERED AND PRAYED OVER THEIR SCHEMING PLANS TO MODERNIZE THE CHURCH AND UNDERSTAND ITS DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

Here is a little from this book on the Schema meant for Our Lady. Note before you read this that a document JUST FOR OUR LADY was planned but was turned down by the moderators for the following reasons....

Father Rahner stated....."Were the text to be accepted as it stood, he contended, "unimaginable harm would result from an ecumencal point of view, in relation to both Orientals and Protestants." It could not be too strongly stressed. He said, "that all the success achieved in the field of ecumenism through the Council and in connection with the Council will be rendered worthless by the retention of the schema as it stands."

"What he attacked especially was the schema's teaching on the mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the title "Mediatrix of all graces" which it gave the Blessed Virgin."

NOTE -- there were some heroes at the Council who defended Our Lady but the moderators got their way!

May we always know that God has alreay won the victory! We, as His soldiers, must still fight many battles before the end.....but know that in the end ---HER IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPTH!

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

We have a new Pope from America. May we pray for his holiness and guidance of the Holy Spirit through Our Blessed Mother.  

American-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, 69 years old from Chicago, has been chosen by the conclave to be the next pope. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV.

On this feast day of Our Lady Mediatrix of all Graces.....he invokes her aid in his opening statement and prays a Hail Mary.  We may have hope even though he has been declared a liberal choice and has made decisions to prove this.  (Video below)

​KEEP PRAYING FOR HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH THROUGH OUR BLESSED MOTHER!!!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Today is day 4 of the Fatima Novena for May 13th. May we pray for all the intentions held in the Immaculate Heart of Mary which I am sure She is praying for a Holy Pope...may God's Will be done even if he "allows" more of a chastisement upon the Church with another "Pope" like the last one. God's Will be done...He is all knowing and all wise....and all loving! Blessed be the Name of God!

Today I will write a little about my favorite saint who is second to St. Therese. Little sweet St. Jacinta. She was such a sweet little soul and was found to be incorrupt as well; which should give us insight as to how the Good God viewed her love and sacrifices! May we read about her and follow her examples!

Below are exerpts from the book, "Fatima or World Suicide" written in 1950 by Rev. Wm. C. McGrath, P.A.

"A specialist from Lisbon who happened to be visiting Fatima suggested that Jacinta be brought to the Capital city for an operation. She told them that it was useless; that she was not going to get better because the Blessed Lady had told her that she was going to die soon. Nevertheless, she was taken to Lisbon but before entering the hospital was placed into the Orphanage of Our Lady of Miracles. the Director of this orphanage was a Franciscan nun, Sister Mary of the Purification, but because of the persecution then raging in Portugal, she was not permitted to wear religious garb. To Lucy she was madrinha, or little godmother. 

It was at this orphanage, before her last stay in the Lisbon Hospital that little Jacinta was favored with some of the most extraordinary apparitions of the Blessed Virgin and her statements to Sister Mary clarify even further the messages of Fatima concerning war and her horror of sin. One day as she entered Jacinta's room, the child earnestly pleaded with her to come back later.

"Please do, little godmother, for right now I am expecting the Blessed Virgin."

On several occasions the good Sister questioned her little patient concerning the nature of these later revelations.

"What did the Blessed Mother tell you about the war?" she asked one day: "Why is such a terrible scourge permitted by God?"

Jacintan grew very thoughtful and serious. "Our Blessed Lady said that war is nothing but a punishment from God for the sins of men. And she said, little mother, that now she can no longer hold back the Hand of Her Son in Heaven from striking the world in terrible retribution."

The Blessed Mother, who knew that her appeal would not be answered by her own children in Europe, now revealed that Europe was doomed.

"And sin? Did Our Lady say anything more about it?"
"Yes. She said that more souls were going to Hell because of sins of impurity than any other."
"But child," added the Sister, "do you know what it means to be pure?"
"Yes. To be pure in body means to be faithful to the virtue of chastity. To be pure in spirit means to refrain from all sin, not to look at what is of no concern, not to lie or steal, always to be truthful regardless of the cost."

......Added to her suffering was the sight of the immodest attire of visitors and attendants, so terrible in view of the recent words of Our Blessed Lady, and the sophisticated views of some of the doctors who "had never seen a soul" and aired their godless attitude in hearing of the dying visionary of Fatima.

"Fools," she would say, "fools who know so little of what awaits them in eternity. If they could only understand, how much they would do to change their lives while there is still time."

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us and this conclave!
St. Jacinta, pray for us!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

I pray all are well and enjoying Spring that has sprung. Living in Northern Michigan, we just now see our daffodils and they are sooo appreciated. Today is the anniversary of my First Holy Communion 57 years ago and it seems like yesterday....well....almost! Time goes so fast! Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar!

My husband and I just came back from visiting our daughter, grand daughter and son-in-law who is a fourth generation wheat farmer in Colorado. We did a little procession near his worst crop because they are in a serious drought! We did it on the feast of St. Joseph the Worker! May he intercede for them and beg God to give rain to the parched earth! (Please pray - thank you!)

Today starts the Novena to Our Lady of Fatima for the feast day of May 13th. I hope this week to write more on Fatima. Below is a link to help you pray the Novena. May we pray it with the Most Holy Rosary as Our Lady came identified as Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary at Fatima.

We have much to pray about but it is a glorious time to be alive during this Jubilee Year and be a part of the remnant that will pray for God's Will to be done! May we accept what is to come and be given the graces to endure the hard times that will come before the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

Let us pray for the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that Jesus may reign in the hearts of all men!

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

Please pray for  Pope Francis has died today, aged 88.
The Holy See Press Office announced the news, writing:
A short while ago, His Eminence Cardinal Farrell announced with sorrow the death of Pope Francis with these words:
“Dear brothers and sisters, it is with deep sorrow that I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.
At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the Father’s house. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church.

Please pray for his soul and the decisions being made in this Roman Catholic Church!

God bless all of you this Easter Monday!

Blessed Marie - Eugene....pray for us!

​

Greetings in Jesus and Mary.....

Blessed Easter to all!  Here we are going to concentrate on why Baptism during the Easter vigil. St. Paul writes to the Romans: "Do you not know that all we who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? For we were buried with Him by means of baptism into death, inorder that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be so in the likeness of His resurrection also." (Rom. 6:3-6) By baptism, therefore, we are linked mysteriously with the death and the resurrection of Christ.  The selected readings from the Old Testament on the Easter Vigil show how wisely God prefigured our rebirth in Christ through baptism, and in former times they were to bring to the mind of the catechumens the glorious effects of baptism and the significance of the approaching hour of grace. Then comes the "Blessing of the Baptismal Water" with symbols of deep meaning. Clothed in their white baptismal robes, with burning candles in their hands, the newly baptized proceed  from the baptistry into the church, there to celebrate with the faithful of the congregation the Holy Sacrifice for the first time and to receive their First Holy Communion.

In holy baptism we, too, for the first time died with Christ unto sin and rose again to a new life. Today, let us never forget: dying and rising again with Christ must dominate our entire life on earth, must constantly reach greater depth and perfection. The holy season of Lent, now behind us with its penance and mortification, was nothing else than a renewed dying with Christ, to the end that we might  rise again on Easter Sunday with Him as new men, more firmly established in grace and spiritual life.

"If you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life shall appear, then you too will appear with Him in glory." (Col. 3:1-4)

Every Easter here in this world with all its jubilant joy is only imperfect. Perfect and full consummation will be ours only when the eternal Easter morn begins to dawn for each and every one of us who lives for Christ alone.

May we live in joyful hope for our Easter and may we take our Baptismal promises seriously by living in God's grace until He finally calls us home.

Blessed Easter to all of you!  God bless!!

Holy Mother Mary, Mother of the Risen Lord and Mother of us all .... pray for us!
