 Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Happy Feast Day!! A day to celebrate. A goal for all of us who long for Heaven and to be with the God Who created us for all eternity....with NO pride, hate, envy, sloth, gluttony, greed, wars, cancel culture, LGBTQXYZ, fashions, fads, NONE OF THE CRAZINESS THAT WE HAVE TO ENDURE HERE ON THIS EARTH! Something to celebrate and look forward to with great hope and anticipation FOR SURE! I have been writing about Purgatory to prepare for the Feast day of All Souls which will be celebrated on Monday because it falls on a Sunday this year. Therefore, after today, I have two more days to talk more about Purgatory. The video posted at the bottom is an audio book on "How to Avoid Purgatory" that runs about a half hour. As I was listening yesterday to this, it seems to have left out a very important thing.....to do ALL THINGS with LOVE for GOD. (maybe I missed it...I will have to listen to it again). The book, "An Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory" does state this and that is why I believe this book holds many truths....mainly because this is emphasized when the sister in Purgatory gives advice to the sister on earth. Below is taken from the book at various parts of the book...... "Before every action, no matter how trivial, ask yourself if what you are about to do will please Him. That is all that matters as far as you are concerned. Any act of indifferene or want of regard on your part wounds Him, whereas a continual remembrance of His Holy presence, a little aspiration to Him, a look, any little attention to give Him pleasure is noticed by Him. Guard your interior well that you may lose none of His graces. Take no notice of your body. Forget yourself. Place yourself in the arms of Jesus and He will never let you be found wanting, only have unlimited confidence in His goodness. If you but realized His power, you would not put limits to His ability. What can He not do for a soul He loves. Never seek to please anyone by your actions, but God only. It is for Him that you must do everything. Let there be no human respect, or ever growing weary...He will grant anything you request of Him. Prepare yourself with great care for Holy Communion, Confession and the Divine Office, in a word, for anything that tends to unite you more closely to Our Lord. I have already told you that God is searching the world over for souls that love Him with childlike affection, full of tender respect, truthfully and from the heart. He finds few such souls, fewer than you would suspect. Souls belittle the Heart of God. They look upon Jesus as too difficult to approach and thus their love for Him remains cold. It is only love that will be rewarded in Heaven. All that is done for any other motive will count as nothing. Let your communications with Jesus be heart to heart. Let no word, no thought, not even a desire come from you that is not according to His adorable Will. If you only knew what that union is that Jesus wishes to contract with your soul, you would never put any hindrance in the way. Renew your love and tenderness for Jesus. Console Him, try to make up to Him for all the affronts He receives in the world. Love Him for all those who do not think of doing so. Jesus expects this of you; will you refuse Him?" ****************************************** All of the above is based on love for God and great advice. I am disappointed about how little is said of the Blessed Virgin Mary but She is not excluded in the book and I have saved that for last to couple with the Sabbatine Privilege. I would like to emphasize that many of the saints have stated that devotion to Our Lady is a sign of predestination. We do not believe in predestination per se. The saints only mean that if you have a devotion to Her....She will not let you escape the arms of Her Son. She will be a good Mother and draw you back when you fall. She will see to it that you die in the state of grace....if you have been faithful to your devotion to Her. I recommend (as in the past) to have a crucifix by your bed and wake up with your first thoughts directed to Him. Hold your crucifix and kiss it tenderly and pray the prayer....I kiss the wounds of Your Sacred Hands with sorrow deep and true, may every move of my hands today be a million acts of love for You. I kiss the wounds of Your Sacred Feet with sorrow deep and true, may every step that I take today be a million acts of love for You. I kiss the wounds of Your Sacred Heart with sorrow deep and true, may every beat of my heart today be a million acts of love for You. I pray that pray for my husband and my children also so that each beat of their hearts that day may be a million acts of love for the Good God that made them and hopefully it will added to their merits on their Particular Judgement Day. Maybe you could consider doing this for your family as well....to please the Heart of Jesus! Our Lady, Mother and Queen of all Saints, pray for us and guide us to Your Son Jesus now and for all eternity!!

 Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Today we will focus on the role of St. Michael with souls. The below information was taken from the book "The Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory". A book of discourses between a religious sister from Purgatory and a religious sister who is asked to pray for her. "We see St. Michael as we see the angels. He has no body. He comes to get the souls that have finished their purification. It is he who conducts them to Heaven. He is the highest angel in Heaven. Our own Guardian Angels come to see us but St. Michael is far more beautiful than they are. You do well to pray to St. Michael and to urge others to do so. One is indeed happy at the hour of death when he has had confidence in some of the saints. They will be his protectors before God in that terrible moment. The best and most efficacious way of glorifying him in Heaven and honoring him on earth is to spread devotion to the souls in Purgatory, and to make known the great mission he fulfills towards these suffering souls. It is he who is entrusted by God to lead the souls to the place of expiation and to bring them to their eternal home after purification. Each time a soul arrives to increase the number of the elect, God is glorified, and this glory in some way communicates itself also to the celestial minister. It is an honor for him to present to Our Lord the souls that will sing their thanks and His mercies through all eternity. I could never make you understand the intense love which the Heavenly Archangel has for his Divine Master, and the love which God in His turn has for St. Michael. Neither can I convey to you a true idea of the love and pity St. Michael has for us. He encourages us in our sufferings by speaking to us of Heaven. Tell the Father that if he wishes to please St. Michael, he will most earnestly recommend devotion to the souls in Purgatory. People in the world do not think of it. When they have lost their relatives or friends, they say a few prayers, weep for a few days and that is the end of it. The souls are henceforth abandoned. It is true that they merit this, for while they were on earth they neglected the dead. The Divine Judge deals with us in this world according to our actions in the former. Those who have forgotten the holy souls are forgotten in their turn. On the feast of St. Michael, he comes to Purgatory and returns to Heaven with a great number of souls, especially with those who had been devout to him in life. MIRACLE OF ST MICHAEL TOLD BY THE RELIGIOUS SISTER.... There was an English woman, who was drowned at Mont St. Michel (in France), and went straight to Heaven. She had the necessary contrition at the momet of death and at the same time the baptism of desire. All this happened through the intercession of St. Michael. What a happy shipwreck!" St. Michael, defender of souls, pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
This information is taken from the Unpublished Manuscript of Purgatory. It is a book about one religious sister appearing to another to ask for prayers and she has been given permission by God to share her experiences for all of us. She claimed the following which seems to coincide with other accounts. In Purgatory, there are several stages but three main levels. In the lowest and most painful, like a temporary hell, are the sinners who have committed terrile crimes during life and whose death surprised them in that state. It was almost a miracle that they were saved, and often by the prayers of holy parents or other pious persons. Sometimes they did not even have time to confess their sins and the world thought them lost, but God, whose mercy is infinite, gave them at the moment of death the contrition nesessary for their salvation on account of one or more good actions which they performed during life. Some are there for their indifference to God all their lives.The difference of this place and hell is that in hell they curse God, whereas in Purgatory, they bless Him and thank Him for having saved them. In the second stage are the souls of those who died with venial sins not fully expiated before death, or with mortal sins forgiven in the confessional but not made satisfaction to the Divine Justice. In this stage there are different degrees according to the merits of each soul. Lastly, there is the Purgatory of desire which is called the Threshold. Very few escape this. To avoid it altogether, one must ardently desire Heaven and the vision of God. That is rare, rarer than people think, because even pious people are afraid of God and have to, therefore, a sufficiently strong desire of going to Heaven. The deprivation of the sight of our loving Jesus adds to the intense suffering in this part. We ardentlly desire complete union with Jesus but He desires it almost as much as we do. The main torment is the absence of Him Who is the sole object of our long-enduring desires. She states that Purgatory is in the center of the globe near Hell. The fire of Purgatory is a purification prescribed by God's justice and that of earth is very mild compared to that of Purgatory. It is a shadow compared to the furnace of Divine Justice. She states that when a soul goes straight to Heaven, its union with Jesus continues after death (from earth). The union in Heaven is much closer and more intimate than that of earth. (In reality, one knows even on earth what to expect when one dies by their knowledge of how close they are in union to Jesus now.) I will end with what she says true sanctity is on earth......It is in renouncing oneself from morning to night, in being a living sacrifice, in constantly putting aside the human self, in allowing God to work in and with you as He pleases, to receive the graces He sends you with profound humility, recognizing yourself quite unworthy of them, to live as constantly as possible in the Divine Presence, to perform all your actions under the eye of God, wanting Him only to be the witness of your efforts and your only reward. This is the sanctity wished for and demanded by Jesus of all those who desire to be His only and to live His life.....all the rest is pure illusion. I will add that the above means of sanctity can be achieved easily by consecrating ourselves to the Mother of God. She will take care of us and lead us to Her Son and supply us with all the necessary graces that we need to achieve our salvation. Each day....moment....should be spent with Her under the gaze of our Heavenly Father... She will then be at our side at our Particular Judgement. Our Lady of the Holy Souls, pray for us!!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Today we will honor St. Gertrude the Great even though her feast day is November 16. She is a remarkable remarkable saint! St. Gertrude the Great, a Benedictine nun whose great love for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus has helped earn her the title of "the Great." Gertrude was born in the same town as Martin Luther. Gertrude was born in Eisleben, Germany on the Feast of the Epiphany in 1256, two centuries before Luther. However, she lived during the same time as many of the great saints including St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Dominic. She entered a monastery school in Saxony when she was five years old where she earned an impressive education and ultimately discerned to become a religious sister herself. She was incredibly smart, earning an education unlike any woman of her time. She admitted in her autobiography that often times, she allowed Christ to take a backseat as she harnessed her skills in philosophy, literature, singing and painting. It eventually led to her feeling lonely and depressed and called her intellectual pursuits a "tower of vanity and curiosity." She refocused her priorities after a mystical encounter with Christ and began to focus on studying Scripture and theological works. Gertrude was a mystic She had many mystical experiences which she recorded in her journals. One was a series of visions of St. John on the night of the Last Supper. She laid her head on the breast of Christ and heard his most Sacred Heart beating and asked John why he didn’t record the experience in the Gospel. He answered saying that this detail had to be reserved for subsequent ages when the world, having grown cold, would need to rekindle its love for Christ’s Sacred Heart. Gertrude wrote extensively about the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her writings helped spread the devotion throughout the Western world. She wrote a prayer that when said, releases 1,000 souls from PurgatoryGertrude had a great devotion to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, whom she frequently wrote about and the need for the living to pray for them. She wrote this prayer, which is especially fitting for the month of November: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen. Gertrude is the only female Saint to be called “the Great” Pope Benedict XIV gave her the title to differentiate her from Abbess Gertrude of Hackeborn and to acknowledge the depth of her writings and theological insight. St. Gertrude died on November 16, 1302 and remains one of the most well-known saints in the West. St. Gertrude the Great, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
It is Oct. 28th and Nov. 3 will be the day we celebrate All Souls Day because it falls on a Sunday this year. I will give more info on Maria Simma because she was frequented by souls from Purgatory to ask for Masses, prayers, and sacrifices. "According to Maria the holy souls have revealed to her the following:
The holy souls have repeatedly told her that the greatest help for them that they can obtain from those here on earth is the offering of holy Mass. Next to the Mass, the holy Rosary and the Stations of the Cross are very beneficial to them. Any sacrifice we make–even the smallest ones– offered specifically for them have a great value in the eyes of God, and greatly lessen their sufferings and time in purgatory. The poor souls have told her that even the smallest prayer or sacrifice is like giving a cool glass of water to a parched sojourner travelling in the driest desert. The holy souls have also told her that there are many, many degrees in purgatory, and that the lower parts of purgatory are the most difficult and the most purifying, and this is where those with grave (severe) sins go–that is, grave sins that have not been forgiven in the sacrament of Confession. As each soul makes reparation for his/her sins that they have committed against God and there fellow man, they are slowly purified and therefore they slowly make progress to the higher levels of purgatory. The souls that appear to Maria are almost always souls that are residing in the higher levels of purgatory. Essentially, the more repentant and sorrowful one is for the sins committed against God and neighbor during ones lifetime, the quicker one progresses from the lower to the higher degrees of purgatory." The highlighted quote above has also been revealed to saints that have had the privilege to talk to souls from Purgatory. It makes sense that there would be different degrees because we have different degrees in Heaven and Hell as well. It is only just. I would like to add that when Our Lady came to Fatima in July, 1917, She showed the children Hell where the souls of poor sinners go because there is no one to pray for them. This would give us the hope that if we pray for our loved ones who are on the way to perdition.....there very likely would be a chance that Our Lady would/could intercede for them and put them in the deepest darkest dungeons of the most pitiful pits of Purgatory. MAY THIS BE OUR HOPE FOR THOSE WE LOVE WHO ARE ON THE WRONG ROAD! Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
There are so many graces in remembering the souls in Purgatory that I will post something on Purgatory each of these 6 days before the feast day of All Souls and one more on the Feast Day which will make 7 posts. To live each day of our lives with them in mind will draw them and ourselves closer to Heaven. Below is a video of some advice from Maria Simma. She was born in 1915 in Sonntag, Austria, Maria was one of eight children who were raised in poverty and began working at an early age. She tried three times to enter the convent but was denied entrance due to her poor health. She claims that the first appearance of a holy soul occurred one night in 1940 around 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. when a strange man walked into her bedroom. Being fearless by nature, she demanded that he leave. When he refused, she chased him and tried to grab him but found herself holding nothing but thin air. She told her spiritual director about it in the morning and he told her if the man returned to ask, "What do you want from me?" The man did indeed return the following night and when she asked him what he wanted, he said, "Have three Masses celebrated for me and I will be delivered." She then understood that he was from Purgatory. Her spiritual director advised her never to turn away the poor souls but to accept whatever they should ask of her. Apparently, she began to have regular visits from the poor sousl and documented this in a book (which has an imprimatur) entitled, Get Me Out of Here, which is a series of interviews with Maria. The holy souls have repeatedly told her that the greatest help for them that they can obtain from those here on earth is the offering of holy Mass. Next to the Mass, the holy Rosary and the Stations of the Cross are very beneficial to them. Any sacrifice we make–even the smallest ones– offered specifically for them have a great value in the eyes of God, and greatly lessen their sufferings and time in purgatory. The poor souls have told her that even the smallest prayer or sacrifice is like giving a cool glass of water to a parched sojourner travelling in the driest desert. She died in 2004.  Greetings in Jesus and Mary......
Tomorrow is the Feast of Christ the King! I am going to repeat some of the info previously covered in years past on this site....because it deserves repeating at this time when the Kingship of Jesus Christ is under serious attack. As Catholics, we know that we are under the leadership of Our Lord and King and there WAS a time in history before the Protestant Revolution when Catholic Europe was a Catholic society where all decisions by those in nobility and power based laws on Catholic morality. Luther ushered in the “I will not serve” of Satan with his revolt against Catholicism. It was the beginning of individualism and naturalism where man is put before God. We then have the French Revolution with the “Declaration of the Rights of Man”. Fr. Denis Fahey CSSP summarized the Declaration as a formal renunciation of allegiance to Christ the King of the supernatural life, and of membership in Christ’s Mystical Body. He stated: “The French State thereby officially declared that it no longer acknowledged any duty to God through Our Lord Jesus Christ, and no longer recognized the dignity of membership of Christ in its citizens. It thus inaugurated the attack on the organization of society under Christ the King which has continued down to the present day.” The principle that all authority comes from the people is now all but universally accepted throughout the West. The basis of public morality is whatever the contemporary consensus of citizens is prepared to accept. It would be very hard to convince the average Catholic today that his country should not be governed by the will of the people or that our elected representatives are anything more than delegates of the people who voted them into power. Especially since the Second Vatican Council and its documents and its own “government” of the new idea of “synods” which sprang up with Pope Paul VI. We now have a democracy of contemporary consensus of bishops which are not even walking with God! This latest synod on synodality is a great example….we are traveling far from Catholic teaching with each new synod. One of the most important books you could read is Fr. Fahey’s book, “The Kingship of Christ and Organized Naturalism”. Fr. Fahey masterfully details the contrast between the Church’s social teachings and organized naturalism, which is nothing more than Freemasonry and the work of other groups which are always striving to make what is now called “Secular Humanism” the dominant ideology ruling the world. They have succeeded to a large degree; but, by reading this book you will not only be better able to recognize their errors, you will be inspired to reverse the gains they have made and help advance the Social Reign of Christ the King! What do we as Catholic do with such a crisis within our country and within our “Church”? According to Hilaire Belloc in his essay “The Church and the Modern State” published in 1931 he states: “Where there is a conflict between the civil law and the moral law of the Catholic Church, members of the Catholic Church will resist the civil law and obey the law of the Church.” This is also true now WITHIN the Catholic Church. As previously written (and there is much written outside this blog) about the infiltration of the Freemasons within the Catholic Church – we are to RESIST! We are to KNOW our Faith. Our Pre-Vatican II Faith. WHY? Because it is untarnished and it is the teachings of the Church to maintain the perennial Truths of Tradition. God does not change. Truth is immutable! 1 + 1 will always equal 2 ---- in this century and 20 centuries from now. If we continue to change the teachings of our Tradition that has been handed down through the ages – we get chaos – it will evolve into something unrecognizable and far from the unchangeable God WHO IS TRUTH. How do we restore the Kingdom of Christ? Well, this website was created to share the best kept secret in the Catholic Church and that is Mary! St. Louis deMontfort stated that Christ is not known and loved because His Mother is not known and loved. We need to pray for the reign of the Immaculate Heart in men so that She can usher in the reign of Her Son within our hearts and homes and world. This is a perennial teaching of the Church. Notice how during the Second Vatican Council, Our Lady was given a back seat - (literally at the end of a document Lumen Gentium). Proof it was going in the wrong direction because Our Lady was given the role of crushing the head of Satan.....who will be unleashed at this time. We need to consecrate ourselves and our families to Her Immaculate Heart during this time in history when Satan and his cohorts are running loose seeking the ruin of souls! How will you protect yourselves otherwise? She came to ask for this at Fatima! Have a blessed Feast day and place Jesus and Mary on the throne of your heart! Pray your rosary and wear your scapular as a sign of consecration to Her Immaculate Heart. Sacred Heart of Jesus may Thy Kingdom come through Mary!!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
We are living in trying times. Our Lady of Good Success in Quito Ecuador warned us of these days and asked Mother Mariana to make reparation for these days way back in the 1600's because it would be so bad and there would be few souls OFFERING THE NEEDED REPARATION. Also, we have Our Lady of Fatima, giving us the three secrets which we know contained the message of an Apostasy in the Church....also restated in Akita Japan because Rome would not release such a telling statement to the world because they were carrying out this Apostasy (which continues at full throttle today). The below videos were just put out in the last couple of days and have much information about what is to be expected if we continue on this path. We must pray and offer up to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary our prayers and sacrifices. If anything we should be prepared for what is to come because as we see....MANY ARE LOSING THE FAITH! We can not lose the faith...we must remain faithful and strong and couragous during this time of great battle against good and evil. It is a very trying battle since the worst enemies are now within the Catholic Church. This makes it very difficult to get up in the morning but we must pray to Our Lady and receive Our Lord spiritually and sacramentally in the Most Holy Eucharist for strength! I use to listen to Ann Barnhardt when she just started out 15 years ago and have drifted away from her. She is quite harsh but we all must agree she is truthful. She makes a point in this interview that Truth IS Jesus ...... because He is the Way, The Truth and The Life. We can not be indifferent to the Truth. She has much to say....it gave me an update of her thoughts since I stopped frequenting her website. The saddest part of the entire interview (which is long) is the end where she talks about what is physically going on in the Vatican. It only makes sense and when we experienced the "Pachama" event.....WE SHOULD HAVE ALL WROTE WITH OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS TO ROME. I am convinced that since that happened a couple of months before the Plandemic, a curse was put on the world by our own (Pope). MANY HAVE LEFT THE FAITH SINCE THE PLANDEMIC AND THE CLOSING OF OUR CHURCHES FOR A WHOLE YEAR! Now they are just sweeping up the rest of us, especially the Traditional Catholics who did not buy into the injections and hunger for the REAL MASS! We are a threat to their plans of Mass Destruction for a One World Church of Synodality....to usher in the New World Order which Rome has been complicit in for decades! Our Blessed Mother has warned us but also stated that She would act when we look like we have reached bottom. PRAY FOR THE REIGN OF HER IMMACULATE HEART SO THAT JESUS MAY REIGN ON THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN! Prepare this week for the great feast of CHRIST THE KING with prayers, fasting and sacrifices! Also, we have a Mike Matt video....who also can be harsh but these two souls are warriors at a time when most are so very very sleepy. We can learn from them and be encouraged to remain strong in the battle for souls for Jesus! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and place us in Your Heart to never be taken from It! Jesus, Mary, we love You, save souls!!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
The destruction of what is left of the Catholic faithful is in full swing. Below is a video explaining MUCH of what is going on. This is in one diocese but this is going on all over for one goal....the destruction of the Catholic Faith to incorporate the One World Church which will come with the One World Order. I was just informed that a diocese near me is going to cut their parishes BY HALF by the year 2027. WHAT? SSSOOO what is going to happen to the other half of these parishes.......GONE BY 2030?? St. Teresa of Avila's feast day is tomorrow, October 15th. She wanted to stress that the main intention of prayer for all Carmelites is for the Church...She is a Daughter of the Church. Lots going on and unfolding before our eyes. Things are happening very fast so we need to be diligent in our prayers and sacrifices for the good of Christ's Church. Please listen carefully to this video...there is alot to swallow in it and so many hints of what is to come. PRAY AND RESIST (These men are not on the side of Jesus Christ) Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Today is the feast day of the Miracle of the Sun...Oct. 13, 1917...a public revelation. Below is a 55 minute documentary from "America Needs Fatima" of this date in history. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Sr. Lucia, Jacinta and Francesco, pray for us!. |
