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..... Cardinal Raymond Burke has started a Novena (October 8 - December 10, 2025) for all of us to pray and make reparation before the centennial anniversary of when Jesus and Mary came to Lucia to ask for the Five First Saturdays of Reparation. Below is the explanation and below that are the links to prayer the prayer and to read his letter..... “On December 10, 1925, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, with the Infant Jesus at her side resting on a bright cloud, appeared to the Venerable Servant of God Lucia dos Santos, the surviving shepherd child of Fatima, who was, at the time, a Postulant with the Sisters of Saint Dorothy in Pontevedra, Spain… To prepare for the celebration of the centennial, I invite you to join me in nine weeks of prayer, beginning on this coming October 8th and ending on this coming December 10th, the 100th Anniversary of the apparition at Pontevedra.” —Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary! As everyone knows, Michelangelo painted the frescos in the Sistine Chapel. He finished the painting of “The Last Judgment” around 1541 while preparations were being made for one of the greatest councils of the Church: The Council of Trent in 1545. This Council was to launch the counter-Reformation against Martin Luther and his denial of certain doctrines. Michelangelo was an ardent son of the Church. He incorporated in the painting all those doctrines being challenged by the Protestant “Reformers”. One of these doctrines which the reformers denied was honor and devotion to Mary, the Mother of God so the artist put Mary at the right hand of Her Son. Just beneath Her, he painted a huge rosary hanging down over the ramparts of Heaven on which two souls are climbing up into Heaven. Just 30 years later in 1571, the Muslim Turks under Selim the Sot, invaded Europe. Selim was the son of one of the greatest rulers of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent. Suleiman had built a powerful army and navy, one of the greatest ever in the Empire. His son, Selim had inherited his father’s position in 1566 and he became overconfident with power and decided to invade Europe. This battle is known as “The Battle of Lepanto”. On the throne of Peter at this time happened to be a crusading Pope, St. Pius V. He called for a crusade against the Turks. Only a handful responded: Don Juan of Austria, the Spaniards, the Venetians and the small Papal fleet. They were no match for the vast Turkish fleet which outnumbered them three to one! St. Pius V was a Dominican and Dominicans have a great devotion to the rosary so he called for a rosary crusade in Europe to help the Christian forces. On October 7, 1571, the Christian forces under Don Juan and Andrea Doria met the Turks off the coast of Greece, the Gulf of Lepanto, and miraculously defeated them! Andrea Doria had kept a copy of the "miraculous" image of Our Lady of Guadalupe given to him by King Philip II of Spain in his ship's state room. Don Juan confessed that the victory was won not by fighting arms but by praying arms and especially the praying arms of Our Queen and Mother. This Turkish defeat stopped Ottomans' expansion into the Mediterranean, thus maintaining western dominance, and confidence grew in the west that Turks, previously unstoppable, could be beaten. In thanksgiving for this victory, the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary was established on October 7th. Also, to honor this great Dominican pope, St Pius V, all succeeding Popes wear the white cassock of the Dominicans. This story of Lepanto gives Catholic Christians a true understanding of the word: Crusade. When the enemy is about to crush belief in the existence of the true God from nations, Catholics are called to rally the troops and to pray and sometimes to physically fight. If we must fight for just causes, we must be confident that God is going to give the victory in order to maintain the freedom of being able to place Him first in our lives. May we not be ashamed to fight for the Truth when the enemy launches the first hostile attacks against God and His Church. May we be confident and bold in our fight for God and may we trust that Mary will help Her children in this fight. In the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, October 13th, 1917, Our Lady appeared as the Queen of the Holy Rosary. In one hand she held the rosary and in the other the brown scapular. Once she told St. Dominic that the rosary and the scapular would one day save the world. Could that day be today? Let us, during these trying times in the Church and in the world, pick up those rosaries and wear our scapulars. Let us too have a rosary crusade and send our many prayers and petitions to Our Lady of the Rosary for Her help for this nation and the world. We need help against our many enemies both physical and spiritual. Satan is seeking to destroy many souls throughout the world. She can help us defeat the enemy. She is the one who will crush the head of the serpent and lead us back to God. Sr. Lucia has stated that Our Lady has given a greater efficacy to the Rosary for these very dark days.....let us pick them up and pray the prayers and meditate on the Holy Mysteries of Our Lady's Rosary! Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Today is the Feast day of St. Therese! This saint is known as the “Little Flower” – – this expression is to explain the whole concept of the Carmelite Order as being a garden of prayer for warriors who pray in imitation of Our Lady. Also, in her name she takes “Child Jesus” – her humility, her littleness and unconditional love as a little child are virtues we can all ask Our Blessed Mother for and imitate. The devotion of the Holy Face is so very powerful and a devotion of Reparation. Little St. Therese was all of these, a humble prayer warrior devoted to reparation! Below is the prayer that she prayed and that we all need to pray in this day where reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is so greatly needed. Our world is growing colder by the second. It is so easy to see and to feel. Praying this Act of Oblation to Merciful Love will not only be pleasing to Jesus but will draw us ever closer to the furnace of His Love! If we remain ignited in His Love....we can help bring this warmth to the world! May we pray this prayer often and beg the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to ignite the world with their flames of Love to each man's heart. St. Therese, of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, pray for us! Act of Oblation to Merciful Love O My God! Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to Love You and make you Loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in purgatory. I desire to accomplish Your will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory You have prepared for me in Your Kingdom. I desire, in a word, to be saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg You, O my God! to be Yourself my Sanctity! Since You loved me so much as to give me Your only Son as my Savior and my Spouse, the infinite treasures of His merits are mine. I offer them to You with gladness, begging You to look upon me only in the Face of Jesus and in His heart burning with Love. I offer You, too, all the merits of the saints (in heaven and on earth), their acts of Love, and those of the holy angels. Finally, I offer You, O Blessed Trinity! the Love and merits of the Blessed Virgin, my Dear Mother. It is to her I abandon my offering, begging her to present it to You. Her Divine Son, my Beloved Spouse, told us in the says of His mortal life: "Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name he will give it to you!" I am certain, then, that You will grant my desires; I know, O my God! that the more You want to give, the more You make us desire. I feel in my heart immense desires and it is with confidence I ask You to come and take possession of my soul. Ah! I cannot receive Holy Communion as often as I desire, but, Lord, are You not all-powerful? Remain in me as in a tabernacle and never separate Yourself from Your little victim. I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of you to take away my freedom to displease You. If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. I thank You, O my God! for all the graces You have granted me, especially the grace of making me pass through the crucible of suffering. It is with joy I shall contemplate You on the Last Day carrying the sceptre of Your Cross. Since You deigned to give me a share in this very precious Cross, I hope in heaven to resemble You and to see shining in my glorified body the sacred stigmata of Your Passion. After earth's Exile, I hope to go and enjoy You in the Fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven. I want to work for Your Love Alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally. In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne, no other Crown but You, my Beloved! Time is nothing in Your eyes, and a single day is like a thousand years. You can, then, in one instant prepare me to appear before You. In order to live in one single act of perfect Love, I OFFER MYSELF AS A VICTIM OF HOLOCAUST TO YOUR MERCIFUL LOVE, Asking You to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within You to overflow into my soul, and that thus I may become a martyr of Your Love, O my God! May this martyrdom, after having prepared me to appear before You, finally cause me to die and may my soul take its flight without any delay into the eternal embrace of Your Merciful Love. I want, O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to You an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face! Marie, Françoise, Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, unworthy Carmelite religious. Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Well - there is good news about the revival of those going back to Church after the taking of the life of Charlie Kirk. Where sin abounds - grace abounds the more! God is always victorious! I am writing this post to share with you some of the evils that our youth are being tempted with....we know there are so many but some of these evils are being invited by parents into their homes or the lives of their children without knowing the hidden dangers. I can only say that parents need to take time out for family prayer and private prayer so that the Holy Spirit guide them to the Truth and protect their children from the enemy. In this day of technology and all the digital ways, there are so many ways to pollute our minds and hearts with these earthly evils which are so prevalent. Please be aware that there is a movie that is coming out called "The Carpenter's Son". There is another movie that already came out called "Him". Both of these movies are blasphemous and should not be promoted or watched by ANYONE! I truly believe that we are inundated with sin in the world due to the fact that the Catholic Church has and is not doing what God wants them to do.....live virtuous lives, practice the traditional Catholic Faith, and PRAY! (especially the Rosary). Because of all of this, those of us who are aware of this are held responsible for making reparation and praying all the more! Below are a couple of videos of a Christian podcaster on YouTube named Taylor Alesia. If you have teenagers or grandchildren that could benefit from her videos; I highly recommend her because she promotes Jesus without a certain religion BUT articulates well the dangers of movies, music, fashion and trends. She is better received by the youth than this info coming from parents (unfortunately). She not only talks about these dangers but has pointed out at least on three videos that Gnosticism is the religion that so many are falling into because it is promoted in these movies. Gnostics have their own -- perhaps quite startling view -- : they hold that the world is flawed because it was created in a flawed manner. God is not looked upon as perfect and loving. If you know of young parents and/or teens who are engaging in satanic entertainments and are complacent about it, please share this info. What can we do? Always start with offering Latin Masses for those truly gone astray. Pray the Rosary for them. Place a Green Scapular in their possession (somehow: in apartment, car, clothing). They do not have to wear the Green Scapular but it must be blessed and someone must pray the prayer...."Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death." (link below) Also recommended is to obtain the book written by Fr. Ripperger on "Deliverance Prayers" to pray these prayers for your loved ones. (link below) Pray to Our Lady and invoke the Precious Blood of Jesus for your loved ones. May we pray for those led astray by the ways of the world...may they understand the Love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! PRAY THE ROSARY-THE WEAPON AGAINST ALL HERESIES! Bonus article on Checkmate..... Life is sometimes viewed like a chess game. This article is very interesting and gives hope to any Christian because it is a great analogy of how many times we feel trapped and that we believe there seems to be no way out. There is always a way out with God. Great painting to instill hope!
