Eternal Liberty vs. Worldly Liberty ..... 16 Martyrs of Compiegne CANONIZED!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

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

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

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

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

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

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