"The House of God" or
"The House of Man"?
"The Bread of Life"
"He who is not with
Me is against Me." (Matthew 12:30)
“Once, after
receiving Holy Communion, I heard these words: ‘You are Our
dwelling place’. At that moment, I felt in my soul the presence
of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I
felt that I was the temple of God."(St.
Faustina, Diary 451)
I woke up this particular morning with a
very "heavy weight on my shoulders." I am sure all of us have experienced periods in our
lives where we felt overwhelmed with our responsibilities etc.
Now that our last child has left home, I recently made the
decision to repair the areas of our home that needed repair. If
you have raised children, you will most certainly understand
that your home will have taken quite a "beating" over the years!
For the past month I have taken on the "seemingly endless" task
of repairing all of the drywall damage throughout the house -
mudding, sanding, priming etc to prepare the walls for the much
needed repainting. The knicks, tings and divets are absolutely
everywhere! If any of you know anything about repairing drywall,
it requires quite the skill, time and effort to get it
perfectly blended! Being the perfectionist that I am, makes it
quite the chore! There are a lot of seemingling endless walls,
trim and doors etc needing repair! Not to mention, this is
absolutely one of the messiest jobs on the planet - dust flying
everywhere, no matter how hard you try to contain it, yuk! The
following gospel verse most certainly came to mind this morning.
“Come to Me, all you
who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew
11:28)
Needless to say, I had a lot on my mind
(the other areas of your life don't just disappear), as doing
any kind of renovations to your home with the associated
disorder and mess is stressful and exhausting as I am sure most
homeowners can attest! When I woke up this morning, I felt so physically exhausted in that I simply did not have the
energy to get up to go to church, so I fell back to sleep. Much
to my horror, I realized later, that today was the mass being
offered for a family friend who recently passed away and I had
missed it! Even though I had gone to the liturgy mass the day
before, it was no consolation at all. I felt just horrible, even though I am sure that God understood.
Once I did finally get up out of bed, I decided to go for a
walk in the early afternoon, to pray the rosary and the chaplet
for this family friend. I decided to stop by a park to rest and
reflect on the beautiful bright sunny day (but terribly cold)
and give thanks to God. Little did I know that Jesus had
something else planned for me today.
As I had just finished praying the rosary,
I heard some footsteps behind me so I turned around and said
"hello" to the man walking behind me. We chatted
for a few moments about the weather and then he asked me if I
went to the local Catholic Church. I responded by telling him
that I did and then he informed me that he was a parishioner
there also. He said that he went to the church this
morning and that when he got there, someone came out and
informed him that the church was closed. He thought that the
mass was still at 10 AM on Sundays so had arrived a little late.
I told him that he must have been misinformed, in that the
church was not closed, but rather the Sunday mass time had
changed to 9:15 AM. I realized that he was late for mass,
however it is beyond me why someone would tell a fellow
parishioner (or any one for that matter) that the church was closed? I
can't imagine that the Lord would be happy about one of his
children being turned away from His Father's house in this way!
As we conversed some more, I learned that
he had not been to church since it had been closed previously
and was watching a televised mass instead. Then he continued to
say that he often worked on Sundays and couldn't always attend
mass on that day anyways. Therefore, I suggested that he attend
the Saturday evening mass at 7:00 PM instead .To this he
responded saying, "It doesn't matter, it is too cold
and I'm not going to start up the car just to make a short trip
to church." I was rather surprised to hear this response as
I had expected he would have wanted to take advantage of the
Saturday evening mass.
I recommended that he pray the rosary (if
he wasn't already doing so). Then I showed him the rosary that I
carry in my coat pocket when I go for a walk. He let me know
that he had rosaries and religious statues all over his house -
I got the feeling that he did not pray the rosary or he would
have certainly said so. I pointed out to him that it is good
that you have these religious objects but that you must use them
to get closer to God and receive His graces through them.
Well as much as I don't enjoy
admonishing people and the backlash I usually get afterwards, I
could not ignore Jesus pulling at my heart strings! This is one
of His children after all (we all are)! As one can guess, the conversation went
downhill after that. I very sincerely tried to explain to him
that as Catholics we need to attend mass weekly in order to
fulfill the Sunday obligation. Then he responded by
saying "I can do the same thing by watching mass on TV." I
insisted, "No you can't, as you are not able to receive the
Holy Eucharist, unless you attend mass." My response
did not seem to faze him in the least! Then I explained that
Jesus states this truth in John 6 - He is the
"Bread of Life!"
"I am the bread of
life. No one who comes to Me will ever hunger; no one who
believes in Me will ever thirst. In all truth I tell you, if you
do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you
have no life in you. Anyone who does eat My flesh and drink My
blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the
last day." (John 6)
This did not faze him either and it was
obvious he was not happy with what I had said to him. Then he
started walking away. Once he was several feet away from
me, he turned around and did the sign of the cross upon me with his hands and
uttered a "blessing".Rest assured, it
did not feel "genuine" to say the least! It felt more like a "curse" as his
words prior were definitely not coming from The Holy Spirit! Therefore I had no choice but to return the "blessing" thus
invoking "The Precious Blood" to put me at ease.
It was obvious to me that God had
allowed me to see "the state of this man's soul" and
unfortunately, as I discovered, it was not a healthy one! The
fact is there is only One Truth and One Jesus Christ. Jesus is
the Word Incarnate, the Eternal Word and cannot be changed to
accommodate man.If you look at the world all around us,
man has taken away Jesus' Crown to make it his own. Worse, "The
House Of God" is becoming "The House of Man"(and you know who else,
hiding in the shadows, feeding on the minds and hearts of those
that allow him to)! We need to listen to The
Virgin Mary's many warnings to, "Repent and return to God," before it is too late!
"And thou saidst in thy
heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above
the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in
the sides of the north. I will ascend above the height of the
clouds, I will be like the most High." ( Prophecy of Isaias
(Isaiah) 14:13-14)
"Why were you looking for
Me? Did you not know that I must be in My Father's house? (Luke
2:49)
The Jews gathered round him
and said, 'How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense?
If you are the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus replied:
"I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in
My
Father's name are my witness; but you do not believe, because
you are no sheep of Mine. The sheep that belong to Me listen to
my voice; I know them and they follow Me. I give them eternal
life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them
from My hand. The Father, for what he has given Me, is greater
than anyone, and no one can steal anything from the Father's
hand. The Father and I are one." The Jews fetched stones to
stone him. (John 10:24-31)
"Anyone who is not against
us is for us. If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink
because you belong to Christ, then in truth I tell you, he will
most certainly not lose his reward. But anyone who is the
downfall of one of these little ones who have faith, would be
better thrown into the sea with a great millstone hung round his
neck." (Mark 9:40-42)
“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life.
(John 8:12)
“And you shall call upon
Me, and you shall
go: and you shall pray to Me, and I will hear you. You shall
seek Me, and shall find Me: when you shall seek Me with all your
heart. And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will
bring back from your captivity, and I will gather you out of all
nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to
which I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah
29:12-14

Revelation: February 16/2022
"The Mother of
Mercy's Warning of Chastisement"
"I bear a special love for Poland, and if she
will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and
holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare
the world for My final coming." (Diary 1732)
"Mother
of Mercy"
"Noah's Ark"
Jesus said to St. Maria
Faustina Helelna Kowalska: "I am
prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to
them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation.”
(Diary 1160)
The icon of
“Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn” (Vilnius, Lithuania -
previously part of Poland) has become associated with the
messages of Divine Mercy as that is where Jesus instructed her
to paint the image of Him, the way He appeared to her in her
room one evening. Eight years after, the icon was
conferred the title of “Mother of Mercy.”
In her Diary:
Divine Mercy in My Soul, St. Faustina writes of a mystical
experience involving the icon in The Gate of Dawn Chapel. On
November 15, 1935, Saint Faustina was at The Gate of Dawn Chapel
participating in the last day of the novena before “The Feast
Day Of The Icon, November 16”."On the evening of the last day
[November 15] of the novena at Ostra Brama, after the singing of
the litany, one of the priests exposed the Blessed Sacrament in
the monstrance. When he placed it on the altar, I immediately
saw the Infant Jesus, stretching out His little arms, first of
all toward His Mother, who at that time had taken on a living
appearance. When the Mother of God was speaking to me, Jesus
stretched out His tiny hands toward the congregation. The
Blessed Mother was telling me to accept all that God asked of me
like a little child, without questioning; otherwise it would not
be pleasing to God. At that moment, the Infant Jesus vanished,
and the Mother of God was again lifeless, and Her picture was
the same as it had been before. But my soul was filled with
great joy and gladness, and I said to the Lord, ‘Do with me as
You please; I am ready for everything, but You, O Lord, must not
abandon me even for a moment.’” (Diary, 529)
As my insurance was coming up for renewal within
the next couple of months, I began shopping around for quotes
with the intention of finding a local insurer as I desired a
more personal touch. The first business I went to requested to
see my driver's license as part of their process. Much to the
agent's surprise, he noted that my birthdate was November 16. He then commented, "I have never met anyone that shared
the same birthdate as me." Well, if you can imagine, much to
my surprise as well, I replied,"Neither have I."The Image of "The Mother
of Mercy" immediately came to my mind as her feast day is also November 16
(see private revelation dated
January 1, 2021).
Then the agent started discussing the various coverages they offered.
He
started off by discussing flooding insurance and spent a lot of
time on "overland flooding" in particular. A very strange
and uncomfortable feeling came over me, as "Noah's Ark"
also entered my mind. After we left the office, this strange,
uneasy
feeling remained with me as I just couldn't shake it.
Then a few days later, during supper one evening, a family member mentioned
that he
watched a video in which a priest named Fr. Kramer
apparently claimed that he knew what the complete 3rd Secret of
Fatima was, basically a chastisement (flood).
On the following evening, another family
member came over for dinner and made the comment that "Russia had a bomb in the ocean with the capability
to cause a major tsunami with the possibility of flooding the
entire world!"
God often speaks to me through other
people and therefore I am sharing this recent warning coming from
Our Blessed Mother Mary "The Mother of Mercy" (Vilnius, Lithuania
- City of Mercy - The place where Jesus
instructed St. Faustina to paint The Divine Mercy Image). Notice Mary's
warning comes to me just prior to the recent Russian invasion
of the Ukraine.Lord have Mercy on us!
'In Portugal the dogma of
the faith will always be preserved,"ETC"'
- Sr. Lucia dos Santos of Fatima
"The oceans would vapourize and millions
would die from one minute to the next." - Pope John Paul
II

the world has never seen before, the coming persecution worse
than ancient roman persecution and tribulation worse than the
flood." - Pope Piux XII
Message From Our Lady
Regarding Chastisement
The Apparitions of The Blessed Virgin Mary to
Sr. Agnes Sasagawa
in Akita, Japan, October 13, 1973
The Virgin Mary to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa:
"My dear daughter listen well
to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superiors. As
I previously told you:
if men do not
repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible
punishment on all of humanity. It will be a punishment greater
than the deluge (Flood in The Book of Genesis), such as one that
has
never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out
a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing
neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves
so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which
will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My
Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary,
pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests. The work of the
devil will infiltrate, even into the church, in such a way, that
one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against
bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and
opposed by their confreres. Churches and altars will be sacked.
The church will be full of those who accept compromises and the
devil will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the
service of the Lord. The devil will be especially implacable
against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so
many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in
number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.
With courage speak to your superior. He will know how to
encourage each one of you to pray and to accomplish works of
reparation ..." (This particular
excerpt from the message of Akita is what in fact convinced
Cardinal Ratzinger that this was indeed a true apparition site,
the refection of The 3rd Secret of Fatima.)

Marian Apparition has been in the back of my mind for several
years now. Keep in mind, The Virgin Mary
says "IF," therefore, it is wise we all listen to her now

and The St. Michael Prayer daily!

"The Holy Trinity"
"Where The Spirit of The Lord Is There is Freedom." (2
Corinthians 3: 17-18)
Today we had the most
beautiful and mild sunny day which was a nice break from the
bitter cold weather. Therefore, I decided to go outside on the
patio to enjoy the warm sunshine while I prayed The Divine Mercy
Chaplet at the three o'clock hour (the first time I sat out on
the patio since winter
began). Before I began to pray, I just sat there with my
head leaning back on the chair, eyes closed, soaking up the heat
coming from the sun in the sky . I thought to myself, this is
absolute bliss and I could just sit in this spot forever,
absorbing the heat and contemplating God. Through the sun I can
truly sense the presence of The Lord and it brings me great joy
and peace. The light and heat of the sun truly feels like God's
comforting embrace.
As I looked at the nature all
around me and thought, it is spring now, and soon all of the
trees will grow their new leaves and the animals will soon be
out and about. I meditated on how nature always renews itself to
its original life and beauty even after the winter when
everything seems to be dead and gone. This is a sharp contrast
to material things which simply cannot compare to God's
creations. For example, I looked at the patio doors and how the
caulking had eroded and needed redoing and how the stain had
warn off of the decking and needed to be repainted,etc The
"home to do list" just never seems to end as "work" is lurking
in every corner indoors and out! Hence the reason, material
things will never truly satisfy us. God has much greater things
in store for us in heaven and we should remember to never lose
sight of that. Everything in this world is transient including
our own lives. Hope, everlasting life and beauty lies with God
alone and our relationship with Him.
"Do not
store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and
woodworm destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But
store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth
nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and
steal. For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be
too." (Matthew 6:19-21)
Next I thanked God for all of
the graces He has given me throughout my life. Today, being the
day that the government covid mask mandates ended was especially
liberating and I thanked Jesus for answering my prayers in this
regard. I thought about how the children would finally be able
to experience some return to normalcy in their lives as it has
been particularly difficult and painful for them.
On a
side note, Wednesday, March 23, 2022 was the first day I was
able to enter the church without wearing a mask (mind you one
person, the one that follows me around like a prison guard,
ordered me to put one on, however, today, I totally disregarded
her as the Lord had finally answered my prayer :-)!). There were a lot of people there that were enjoying this
"freedom" as much as I was. However, when I
attended the following Sunday mass I couldn't believe that
almost 2/3 of the people there still wore their masks?! Anyway,
as I was walking out at the end of mass, I noticed a friend of
mine still wearing her mask too which rather surprised me. When
I asked her why,
she responded by telling me that as long as people in the church
were wearing masks, then they would too.
Well in all honesty I was
rather surprised and disturbed by their response and some words
just spilled out of my "italian" mouth (which I have now come to
believe to be "The Holy Spirit" although at the time, I
thought I should have kept my opinion to myself!). I had
suddenly remembered what my daughter had told me recently
regarding wearing masks in church - her comment was, "why would
anyone in church be that fearful and want to wear a mask in
church when you have "Divine Disinfection" there?!
(referring to the body and blood of Christ in the tabernacle!)."
I surely couldn't disagree with that statement! God often speaks to me through people as I have mentioned
before. So, I made the same comment to my friend, although she was not receptive to what I said
at all it seemed.
"Now this Lord is the
Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
And we, with our unveiled faces reflecting like mirrors the
brightness of the Lord, all grow brighter and brighter as we are
turned into the image that we reflect; this is the work of the
Lord who is Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3: 17-18)
Just as I was
about to begin praying the chaplet a seagull came out of nowhere
from my right and flew over the patio and over the roof (my
left). I could not believe what I had just seen, as I have never
seen seagulls out when there is still snow on the ground and I
have been living here a very long time! Then a few seconds
after, a second seagull came from the same direction and flew by
me, following the same path as the first one before! At this
point I felt the presence of God The Father and The Son. Then I
wondered, what about The Holy Spirit? Then all of a sudden a
third, smaller seagull came from the same direction and
flew by me, following the same path as the first and second ones
before (as if it was following its parents)! It certainly
looked like a family - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Wow, I
realized that I was in the presence of "The Holy Trinity"
that took the form of the seagulls - I rejoiced in The Lord!
They were the most glistening white seagulls I have ever seen!
Their almost completely white feathers seemed to sparkle like
diamonds, and they seemed to just float effortlessly across the
sky in front of me, so beautiful and amazing! If one could
define the word "freedom" with an image, this would definately
be it!
Well as unexpected as this
mystical experience was, it was not totally surprising
considering I have had previous mystical experiences with
seagulls in 2021. Also, the evening before I had a discussion
with a young, inquisitive adult family member at Sunday dinner
regarding "The Holy Trinity." She explained that "The
Orthodox Church believes the Holy Spirit "proceeds from God the
Father," while for Catholics, the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the
Father and the Son." This young adult asked me what I thought
the Catholic explanation of The Holy Trinity was.
I explained to her that "The Holy
Trinity" is "The Love" between "The Father and The Son." I also
added that God modelled "The Family" after "The Holy Trinity" -
The "father" and the "mother" love each other so much, that a
"third" person is produced (the "child").To keep a
long story short, she was not fully satisfied with my
explanation and kept trying to debate this with me to the point
that we were just going in circles. Then,
I asserted that, "The Holy Trinity is a mystery and to
understand it completely, I would have to be God, which I am
not." Then I quoted Mother Angelica stating,
"Who can
understand God? Trying to understand God is like trying to put
an ocean into a peanut shell which is impossible!" Finally,
I told her to look up high on the foyer wall at "The Divine
Mercy Image" and to read the inscription below the image (as
that is what Jesus is telling you to do now) - "Jesus I trust
in You." And on that note, the debate ended! Thank you
Jesus!

Forgiveness Has A
Condition
"Go and sin no more." (John
8:11)
"Lack of Father Hood"
On this particular evening I
was speaking with a long time friend on the telephone. She confided in me that her
young grandchild was becoming very rude and disrespectful
towards her and that this situation was becoming very painful
for her. I had suggested to her that it would be a good idea to
communicate this with her husband (the grandfather) and her
child (the parent) first before
asking me for any advice. She responded by informing me
that she had already done so, but to no avail.
The grandmother went on to
say that she asked her husband, "Do you think that our
grandchild is misbehaving because he is not being disciplined by his parents at home?"The grandfather was
silent, hesitant to respond, so the grandmother prodded further,
"A
simple yes or no answer will do." The grandfather's
response to the grandmother was a question,"Do you remember
the gospel at mass today (referring to Jesus and the adulteress woman, John
8:1-11)?" He then became angry and further questioned
her, "Are you trying
to entrap me with this question, like the scribes and pharisees
tried to entrap Jesus with their question (once again, referring
to Jesus and the adulteress woman, John 8:1-11)?"
Rather shocked by the
grandfather's reply, the grandmother then said, "I am
confused by your response, as I do not understand how this
gospel would apply in this situation?" The grandfather
retorted, "Jesus said: "Has no one
condemned you? ... Neither do I condemn you."(John 8:1-11)
After hearing the
grandfather's responses, the grandmother realized what was really
going on in his mind - he felt guilty of his own sin, as he had not disciplined their own children, rather he left that up to
her. This grandmother understood how important discipline was
when raising their children. Unfortunately, the grandfather was
not able to discipline his own children as he considered his
children his "friends" andwanted to be "liked
by them". As a result, once their children grew older and
into their teenage years, the children started to disrespect her
- she was seen as the "dictator" and he was seen as their
"friend." This created division within their
own family and now it is appearing that the same problem (sin)
is being carried over to the next generation, their grandchildren. According
to the literature, your parenting style is naturally
influenced by your own childhood experiences. This
situation demonstrates a "lack of fatherhood"
which I believe is a
serious problem in our society today and a grave sin in God's
eyes. It seems that the current attitude among many parents is
that children should be the ones to make all of the important
decisions in their own lives with respect to religion,
lifestyle, their gender,
etc Children growing up in this undisciplined environment come
to internalize the "I want to be me, I want to be
free"philosphy of life which is not in line with Christianity.
While God's greatest gift to us is our "free will", He has also
given us "The Ten Commandments" which demands discipline. God
called them "Commandments" for a reason and therefore, they are
not open for debate and revision.
Regarding Matthew Kelley's own mystical experiences he states:
"God's providence is complete. I don't think that it is a
coincidence that at a time when there is such poverty of
fatherhood in our culture that God as Father would manifest
in the way he has manifest because we need to rediscover the
role of fatherhood in our lives, in our society, in each family
because so many of the problems in society can be traced back
almost directly to the poverty of fatherhood in the home."
( Matthew Kelly, Catholic Mystic and father of five children) (YouTube
Video Link: "Life is
Messy," Matthew Kelly: full interview - Fr. Mark Goring, CC)
This "Lack of Fatherhood"
problem not only exists within the The Family but also
within The Church which translates to a "Lack of Shepherding"
which was acknowledged by The Honorable Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
According
to Archbishop Fulton Sheen Satan's 3 Shortcuts To Hell are #1 -
Permissiveness, #2 - Wonders (Suprises, Marvels) #3 - The
Temptation of the Church ("Satan says theology is politics. Why
bother with theology, God, the transcendant, the mystery of
redemption? The only thing that matters is politics.") '"The Devil's goal with these 3 shortcuts, is the complete
destruction of the church and human freedom ... the very dignity
and free will that God intended for all of us ... and finally,
the loss of eternal life in heaven with Him. Satan deceives and
convinces the world not to be concerned with the Divine, but
only with the social and political order. The disciplinary
character of Christianity (via the cross) has moved to the
totalitarian states. … And holding as it were the shiny globe of
the world in his hands, satan said: "all these kingdoms are mine.”'(The
Honorable Archbishop Fulton Sheen)YouTube Video Link: Satan's 3
Shortcuts To Hell and Complete Destruction of Human Liberty -
Judas - Fulton Sheen
"I am the Good Shepherd:
the Good Shepherd is one who lays down his life for His sheep."
(John 10:11)
Now back to my story with
reference to the gospel of John 8:1-11, Jesus and the
adulteress. The grandmother's most important question to the grandfather came next. She asked him,
"And what did Jesus say after he said that to the adulteress
("Has no one condemned you? ... Neither do
I condemn you.")?
The grandfather was stumped by this question and it was
obvious to her that he did not know. The grandmother
replied, '"Jesus said, "Go and sin no
more."' (John 8:1-11)
And on that note, the grandfather became speechless.
However, the grandfather
continued to question the grandmother the next day. It is obvious
that his soul was very restless over the conversation they
had the day before. He asked her,"Does that mean that when I
go to confession, my sins are not forgiven then? And if so, why
should anyone bother going to confession as we are all sinners?The grandmother then
advised him to go to his parish priest and ask him those
questions as he would be the best one to advise him.
At this point in our
conversation, the grandmother asked me how I would have answered
these questions regarding the sacrament of confession. I informed her as follows,"Venial
sins are washed away when receiving Holy Communion, however,
mortal sins require going to Confession.
Confession is not a revolving door,
especially where mortal sin is concerned as that would not be
true repentance.
God doesn’t listen to those who do not follow His commandments.
Therefore, all the praying and service any person/s is/are doing within the church and beyond
are useless without obedience to the ten commandments of God,
especially The 2 Greatest Commandments of Jesus:
"Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy
whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and
the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments
dependeth the whole law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:3-40)
Regarding
sin, Jesus
tells St. Faustina: "I am Thrice Holy, and I detest the smallest
sin. I cannot love a soul which is stained with sin; but when it
repents, there is no limit to My generosity toward it. My mercy
embraces and justifies it. With My mercy, I pursue sinners along
all their paths, and My Heart rejoices when they return to Me. I
forget the bitterness with which they fed My Heart and rejoice
at their return." (Diary, 1728)
Regarding
sin, Jesus also tells St. Faustina: "Tell
sinners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from
My Merciful Heart, they will fall into My Just Hands. Tell
sinners that I am always waiting for them, that I listen
intently to the beating of their heart ... when will it beat for
Me? Write, that I am speaking to them through their remorse of
conscience, through their failures and sufferings, through
thunderstorms, through the voice of the Church. And if they
bring all My graces to naught, I begin to be angry with them,
leaving them alone and giving them what they want." (Diary,
1728)

Jesus wants our
hearts! Ultimately, everyone
has a conscience and free will and is
capable of choosing to go towards the light (Jesus)
or darkness (Satan). To make progress in the spiritual life, one
must grow in holiness - keeping in mind, God is "Thrice Holy"
and Heaven is His home. Therefore if
one wants to get to heaven one has to choose to become holy. So
how can one become holy if one does not place the
period after "Go and sin no more?"This
is obviously an impossibility.
"When one is in a
state of mortal sin, works
have no merit in heaven nor on earth and God eventually pulls
the graces (coming from the sacraments, etc).
This separation from God leaves one open
to diabolical influence (evil). " -

"Descent,
disobedience, the kiss of death, the absolute kiss of death ...

have a positive moral obligation to give the ascent of faith to
church teaching not descent.

Unforgivable Sin: "We normally
attribute to The Father Strength and Power. We normally
attribute to the Son, Wisdom. But to the Holy Spirit we normally
attribute Goodness. Thomas Equinas says a sin against the Father
who represents power and strength is a sin of weakness and
therefore is forgivable. Sins against the Son of Man are
forgivable for Jesus is wisdom, therefore sins of ignorance are
forgivable. But when one sins through absolute malice, through the
very choosing of evil, it is a sin against The Holy Ghost, as it
is against Goodness itself which is attributed to The Holy
Spirit." Sins against the Holy Spirit are not forgivable."

I will finish this entry by
saying that I have
previously written much of what I have spoken about here and so
have many others, most importantly, The Virgin Mary, Mother
of God. There have been several Marian Apparitions and
Mary's message is always the same "Repent and return to God."
Why would Mary keep repeating the same message if her children were
listening to her? I have come across many Christians that
believe that "humans are sinners and not capable of not
sinning" or that "there is no such thing as sin" and
that there is no need for repentance as "Jesus has saved us by virtue of His death on the
cross". Finally there are those that believe that
"the sacrament of confession is a revolving door (no
conditions)."These are the people that forget/reject that most
important last statement Jesus made to the adulteress, to "Go and sin no more"
(this is His condition). This condition is necessary as
otherwise there will be no grace and therefore no growth in holiness, which is a
requirement for entering heaven. This entails obedience, discipline, sacrificeand suffering -
embracing The Cross, not running from it. As long as Jesus reigns
in our hearts and we "listen to Him", He will be our guiding light and strength during
this difficult journey here on earth.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the
only Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”(John
1:14)
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit He cuts away, and every
branch that does bear fruit He prunes to make it bear even
more.You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have
spoken to you. Make your home in Me, as I make mine in you. As a
branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of
the vine, neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the
vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me, with Me in
him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do
nothing. Anyone who does not remain in Me is like a branch that
has been thrown away – he withers; these branches are collected
and thrown on the fire, and they are burnt. If you remain in Me
and My words remain in you, you may ask what you will and you
shall get it. It is to the glory of my Father that you should
bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples. As the
Father has loved Me, so I have loved you. Remain in My love, If
you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I
have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I
have told you this so that My own joy may be in you and your joy
be complete.This is My commandment: love one another, as I have
loved you. A man can have no greater love than to lay down his
life for his friends.You are my friends, if you do what I
command you.I shall not call you servants any more, because a
servant does not know his master’s business; I call you friends,
because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from
My Father. You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I
commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will
last; and then the Father will give you anything you ask him in
My name. What I command you is to love one another." (John
15)
"While he was still speaking, behold, a

"The God of Peace Will
Soon Crush Satan Under Your Feet." (Romans 16:20)
"The
Requirement of Forgiveness Does Not Cancel Out The Objective
Requirements Of Justice
... reparation for evil and scandal, compensation for injury,
and satisfaction for insult are conditions for forgiveness."
(Dives in Misericordia, Pope John Paul II)
Today was a rather cool day and the weather
appeared to be "all over the map". It was snowing one minute and
sunny the next and there was quite the wind. The word
"erratic" came to my mind. Therefore I decided to sit
indoors and just look outside through the patio door, rather
than to venture outside to pray during the three o'clock hour.
Holy Thursday Mass wasn't until 4:30 pm today as the priest had
to say a mass at his own parish at 3:00 pm so that gave me time
to pray The Divine Mercy Chaplet at home prior to leaving for church.
Before I began to pray, I couldn't help
but to meditate on how Jesus must have felt on that day and the
intense mental and emotional suffering He must have endured in
the garden of Gethsemane. I thought, His emotions must have
surely been "all over the map and erratic" like the weather
outside today - anxiety, fear, sadness, distress, betrayal and
contempt for the sin (evil) that was responsible for Him being
unjustly condemned to death the next day on Calvary. I thought,
Mary along with His disciples surely felt all of these feelings
as well in varying degrees. The more I thought about this, the
more my head started to spin just like the weather outside and I
imagined Jesus poor head spinning around and around - I felt
sick to my stomach. At this point, I did not want to meditate so
intensely on this much longer so I began to pray the chaplet to
put me at ease.
I think most people dismiss and/or do not
realize the fact that Jesus experienced unimaginable mental and
emotional suffering from his abusers even prior to the actual
physical tortures and cruel, unjust death he had to endure. His
ungrateful, unloving, hateful creatures ("hardened hearts") were
surely more than any loving Father or Mother could bare.
I meditated further on how many of our
innocent fellow human beings have physical, mental and emotional
suffering inflicted upon them just like Jesus did. This is
indeed sin which is evil (satan) and that is why it cannot be
tolerated. .With this meditation, God gave me the
inspiration to do another entry on the topic of sin (evil),
forgiveness. and the condition of repentance.
As you may notice, some of this material
is contained in my previous writings and videos. It has become
obvious to me that God has been wanting me to repeat it. As I have been travelling along
on this journey with Christ, I have come to understand what it
is like to be part of the "Mary club" - many do not listen to God's
mother, Mary and she has to repeat the same message "Repent and
return to God" over and over again. She must be getting tired of
it as I know I surely am. This is not surprising though
considering the hatred satan has for Mary, being the one that
"crushed his head with her seed." We better hope Mary will get
her message across soon, for if she doesn't, the chastisements
already in progress will continue and worsen! She can only hold
back her Son's hand for so long! Lord have mercy on
us all at that point!
"The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
prudence." (Proverbs 9:10)
It seems as if the world has gone bonkers,
having no fear of God (His awesomeness and greatness)?! Well the truth is, only Jesus can bring
"goodness, truth and light." Without Him and His Grace, people
will remain in darkness (blind, deaf and dumb).
To get to heaven we have to be holy, no
ifs, ands or buts!
"There
shall not enter into it (Heaven) any thing defiled, or that
worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written
in the book of life of the Lamb." (Revelation, 21:27)
" I understood the great
justice of God, how each one had to pay off the debt to the last
cent." (St. Faustina, Diary 1375)
Do you not realise that
your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and
whom you received from God? You are not your own property, then;
you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the glory
of God." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Our bodies are "temples of the Lord" and
being such, we need to take care of our temples from physical,
emotional and psychological harm (abuse and unrepentant abusers). The
literature demonstrates that disrespect, betrayal, rejection
etc are traumatic and degrades one's self esteem, understandably as
it is part of human nature to desire to be loved.
My italian mother, grandmother and great
grandmother use to warn us with an old italian proverb ...
"vai
con uno storpio e diventa paralizzato tu stesso"
( translation: "Go with a cripple and become a cripple
yourself." meaning: If you hang around someone who is
"spiritually crippled," a grave unrepentant sinner (liars,
cheaters, fornicators, prostitutes, etc, you will become one yourself). In other words,
hanging around a "fallen" soul that will not repent and change
their ways, will make you fall as well (satan is very smart).
Regarding the
mortal sin of fornication (specifically named demons are at play
here, which ultimately can lead to
abortion, "child sacrifice"), Fr. Chad Ripperger, theologian, philosopher and
exorcist states that even if the couple marries, "there
will be no fruit in the marriage." The current
"sexual ideologies" existent in our culture are not in line with
Christianity and the sanctity of the sacrament of marriage. If you look at all the broken
marriages and families all around us, this certainly appears to
be the case during these times.
Jesus’ command to
"turn the other cheek" is simply a command to forgo
retaliation when people offend us. Jesus was telling them not to
retaliate with hatred and returning violence for violence.
Instead, he is directing us to be assertive, stand your ground
and challenge the bully, not to take another beating. Their bad
behaviour is not about you, it is their not knowing how to love,
selfishness, low self esteem, lack of relationship skills,
pleasure seeking, etc. We
often do not know what goes on inside a person to have caused
them to adopt destructive behaviour (their environment).
It is important to distance yourself from
these toxic people -- would you knowingly jump into crocodile infested
waters? We shouldn't let feelings of guilt rule us - as we are
"royal children of God" and worthy of being respected and
loved. Forgive the truly repentant but keep your distance to
protect your "temple" from danger.
Remember, Satan wants to crush all human
souls and he will use those people in our immediate circles to do his dirty work -
those souls that are not in the state of grace and where Jesus
therefore does not reign in their hearts (hardened hearts).
Satan is happy to occupy the minds and hearts of those that do
not allow Jesus to reign in their minds and hearts.
Also, remember that God did give us
authority over scorpions and snakes and dominion over all the
enemy (satan and the demons)!
As Father Chad Ripperger (theologian,
philosopher, exorcist) has often stated,
"the devil is not found behind every rock, however, he is found
behind every other rock."
The scriptures tell us to rebuke evil …
“Be sober and watch:
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about
seeking whom he may devour.”
(1 Peter 5:8)
"You may
be quite sure that in the last days there are going to be some
difficult times. People will be self-centred and grasping;
boastful, arrogant and rude; disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, irreligious; heartless and unappeasable; they will
be slanderers, profligates, savages and enemies of everything
that is good; they will be treacherous and reckless and demented
by pride, preferring their own pleasure to God. They will keep
up the outward appearance of religion but will have rejected the
inner power of it. Have nothing to do with people like that. (2
Timothy 3:1-5)
Keep in mind you are not showing the
abuser/unrepentant person love by acting like everything is okay
as that is a lie - and the chances of that person repenting is zero if
they figure the person is okay with it. Love is not enabling,
coddling or letting someone off the hook or it wouldn't really
be love at all. Forgiveness doesn't mean friendship.
Admonishing sinners is a
spiritual act of mercy.
No one should ever be rushed into forgiveness
for the "fear of getting right with God". We need healthy
boundaries. We need to recognize patterns of unrepentant abuse, gaslighting,
passive aggression and manipulative language that will only
guilt-trip you back into a vicious cycle. We can never
mindlessly open the door again on an abusive relationship.
Remember Jesus Himself
teaches us that there is a condition for forgiveness, "Go and
sin no more." (John 8:11)
Fr. Chris Alar, MIC
states: "Forgiveness Does Not
Necessarily Mean Reconciliation ..." Forgiveness simply means
you let go, you wish them well, you don't have to reconcile but
if you do reconcile you have elevated yourself up to mercy.
Mercy is actually greater than forgiveness." You Tube Video
Link:What Does
Forgive Really Mean? - Fr. Chris Alar, MIC and Pope John Paul II
In
his encyclical Dives in Misericordia (November 30, 1980), Pope
John Paul II noted that the “requirement of forgiveness does not
cancel out the objective requirements of justice” . . . “Christ emphasizes so insistently the need to forgive others
that when Peter asked Him how many times he should forgive his
neighbour He answered with the symbolic number of "seventy times
seven,"(Matthew 18:21-22) meaning that he must be able to
forgive everyone every time.
It is obvious that such a generous requirement of forgiveness
does not cancel out the objective requirements of justice.
Properly understood, justice constitutes, so to speak, the goal
of forgiveness.In no passage of the Gospel message does
forgiveness, or mercy as its source, mean indulgence towards
evil, towards scandals, towards injury or insult. In any case,
reparation for evil and scandal, compensation for injury, and
satisfaction for insult are conditions for forgiveness.”(DM, 14)
Warning - Listen to
Jesus and keep Him close to your heart at all times! ...
On a side note, I can tell you that God has allowed me to
personally witness several "good" even "saintly" souls in
abusive relationships over the course of my life that have
succumbed to "satan", by remaining in abusive relationships
-
addictions, loneliness (eg: parental alienation/estrangement,
abandonment, etc), depression, suicide, mental illness (bi-polar
etc which is most often spiritual,"demonic possession" as
acknowledged by world reknowned, Fr. Chad Ripperger, theologian,
philosoper, exorcist) and marriages in which the abused spouse
also becomes an abuser, in essence the two "become one flesh"
with Satan rather than God (causing a dominoes effect when there
are children). These marriages are indeed sacrileges and sure
candidates for separation, divorce and even annulment in the
Catholic Church.
Therefore, never judge
people that have had no choice but to separate/divorce their
spouse or distanced themselves from friends etc, to protect
their "temple" and their very "soul" from the "evil one". And,
remember the saying "misery loves company" and that is satan's
agenda as He hates us all and does not want heaven for any of
us, even though he does not want it for himself either!
Believe me, God has
groomed, taught and equipped me well ever since I was a child
and for good reason as otherwise I would have surely been unable
to assist Him in this "dangerous mission" to save souls! Keep in
mind the devil and the demons are intensely smarter than we are
so they are extremely toxic and dangerous more than you can ever
imagine them to be. Therefore, without "Jesus, The Lion of
Judah" we are sure to fall into the hands of the evil one, satan.
Never forget we are in an intense spiritual battle, right now. I
can't remember which religious made this comment - they said
that "if we could see the demons all around us right now, we
would see a mass of "black". That is how heavily infested our
world is right now. So stay super vigilant and pray to God daily
asking Him to protect you from the devil's "Deception."
"I urge
you, brothers, be on your guard against the people who are out
to stir up disagreements and bring up difficulties against the
teaching which you learnt. Avoid them. People of that sort are
servants not of our Lord Christ, but of their own greed; and
with talk that sounds smooth and reasonable they deceive the
minds of the unwary. Your obedience has become known to
everyone, and I am very pleased with you for it; but I should
want you to be learned only in what is good, and unsophisticated
about all that is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan
under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you." (Romans 16:17-27)

To begin with, I must say this is a very
difficult entry for me and it took a lot of praying
and contemplating to hear what The Holy Spirit wanted me to say.
Also, these past few months have been battle after battle with
Satan - you would be utterly horrified if I was to share these
experiences with you, like something out of a science fiction,
or perhaps, more correctly, a horror movie! Needless to say, this left me
rather occupied and wiped out from the sheer exhaustion of it
all! Regardless, The Lord insisted that I go to bat for Him as I
had reluctantly put Him off you could say, so I could recover
and gather more strength for this great battle -
defending "The Holy Eucharist!!
After Easter Mass today, I felt a terrible
sadness at the tabernacle, not only in my own heart but an
unrelenting sadness that could only be coming from Christ's
heart. The photos of St. Maria Faustina and St. Pope John
Paul II were replaced/covered up with two pictures of Mary a couple months
back. It is wonderful that someone added those pictures of Mary,
but why did they have to remove the two pictures that Fr. Josef
(our previous polish priest) had placed there? Surely, there is plenty of room to keep the pictures
there! So what are they going to take away next? The Divine
Mercy Image perhaps? It was really disheartening to see that
they were not even put back for Divine Mercy Sunday (something I
thought would surely happen on that day)?!
Back in 2021 I wrote about how our new temporary priest was
not able to be around after mass since our polish priest left
because he had to attend to his own parish in another town.
Therefore, as a
result, I was informed that I could no longer do private
adoration because he was not present. Well a couple of months
ago this changed and the temporary priest announced that he would now be present
after mass on certain days. Therefore, I asked him if I could
resume private adoration after mass on the days he was there and
he said "yes".
Then the next time I saw him, just as I was
about to do private adoration, he called me into an office room
(a council member was filing papers in there and the priest
asked him to stay as he was about to leave, for the reason I
think many of you can guess! Well needless to say, my
instincts told me I wasn't going to like what I was going to
hear and I felt I was in the presence of Satan so much so that I
had to call on the The Precious Blood of Jesus to put me at
ease! The priest informed me that I would only be able to
go ahead with the private adoration for that day only and no
more, the reason being "You cannot be the exception." (In
other words, "you are the only one doing it.")
I immediately
became upset as I sensed the whole council (and you know who hiding in
the shadows)
was behind this and that the priest was placed "between a rock
and hard place" as the saying goes. Strange thing is I was
able to do private adoration when Fr. Josef (previous polish priest) was
at this church despite the ongoing fuss that the council made so
in addition to the upset, I was in a state of utter disbelief
and confusion as one can imagine!
Considering I am "the exception" (doing private adoration),
all the more reason this should have never happened!
I am not going to apologize for being so
blunt regarding what I am going to say next, as it is the absolute truth according to The Lord
Himself! Jesus demands "silence" and it is disrespectful to
chatter and play music when others are trying to pray. Jesus is most worthy of
worship and to deprive "The Almighty" of worship and comfort in
this way is a "grave injustice" and preventing even a single
"royal child of God" from spending time with her "Abba"
are "mortal sins" (Commandment #1 & 2).
So here I am now, deeply inspired by The Holy
Spirit to defend Our Lord Jesus Christ!
Well as you know Satan absolutely hates "The Divine Mercy" and he
surely does not want me to save any souls! So what better way
than to remove me from private adoration and subsequently, the
most efficacious form of prayer - especially since I am "the
exception!"! He surely outsmarted them all! The
truth is, even one soul
coming before the blessed sacrament can
change the world.
To demonstrate this point, a demon once
lamented to Saint John Vianney that hell had lost 80,000 souls
due to his prayers and sacrifices alone. Saint Vianney did not
need to travel the world and preach. He was a simple parish
priest of a remote village. And yet, he was able to save 80,000
souls through a solitary life of prayer and sacrifice.
Well considering I
am "the exception" it is very obvious and sad that
"adoration" is not on the hearts of many of the people here
at this church.
Or rather,it is the council's (actually Satan's)
way of getting "vengeance" on mein that they see "The
Divine Mercy" and my "private revelations" (with substanitial
"evidence" to back them up, and additional evidence
that I have not felt comfortable sharing publicly), as a threat to their "french"
church. Obviously, deep down, in their consciences, they surely
cannot be that blind to realize that Jesus is speaking to them
through "me" and that it is "He" that is speaking to them,
telling them to open up their hearts to the english speaking
Christians in this town, who would attend mass here if even only
"one english mass" was offered per week. Imagine
the souls that would be brought to Jesus! Even, if God
hadn't sent me here to remind this parish of "The Divine Mercy", they would still be
obligated to obey
"The First Two Commandments of God."
This pitiful state of affairs, is contrary to the Catholic faith where we believe Jesus
is inside the tabernacle, body, blood, soul and divinity!
Surely
everyone should be in a line up for "Adoration" to
experience being "alone with the real presence of God in The
Holy Eucharist!"
I came to the conclusion on this Easter Day, that The Lord will
not rest until this situation is remedied as He continues to
prompt me to speak my mind about it. Even though it was Easter
Sunday, a very sad feeling came over me as I said my goodbyes to
Jesus at the tabernacle. Today of all days, He was looking
forward to me spending time alone with Him there as I have in
the past when Fr. Josef was there. As usual the loud talking etc
after mass made it almost near impossible for me to "hear" and
pray to The Lord. Here we were, two souls, that of "The Creator"
and "The Creature" united in "sadness" and "utter
disbelief."
Many of you know how the
"politics" can be. When parishioners come to dislike a priest,
they call the bishop to make a complaint about him. I am well
aware this
often doesn't end well for many priests. In fact, God has
informed me through a parish member (God often speaks to me
through other people) that a previous priest in this french church was
removed for reasons I would rather not discuss! Although I must
say, this person did say that none of the accusations were
proven ( only when I asked them though and this person still
kept talking about how no one liked him). It appears to me
that many priests are taken "hostage" by the parishioners
(especially the council) these
days and the priests are literally "terrified" of them.
I doubt most priests will have the courage to stand up to a council even though, they do have the final say and by virtue of
their priesthood are expected to act in "persona christi".
So hence, this is a situation in my opinion (and many others,
including religious)
that "The House of God is becoming The House of Man."
In other words, the will of man is given priority over the will
of God."
As I mentioned in my previous writings, the council members (and
a few of the regular parishioners even)
have given me quite the hard time coming to this church
(considering I am not a francophone even though I know enough
french to get by), especially once they
found out who I was and what I claimed my mission to be.
However, as we know, we are all called to evangelize and "Save
Souls." Also, "The Divine Mercy" is a message from God and "The
Heart of the Gospels."This is a situation, where the First and
Second Commandments of God are being broken and I have said this
multiple times to no avail.
There is a sign on the outside of the church that
reads "Love One Another" in "english" and there is a "french
sign" below it that says the same thing." I find this
to be hypocritical, especially, since these signs do not attract
any "english speaking" parishioners at all!!
I know from experience (and
private revelation), "english
speaking" parishioners are not really welcome here and I don't
see anyone else but the "lithuanian woman" and "I" that are "english
speaking" that attend this church and we have both been here for
quite a few years now. Her first language is lithuanian and mine
is italian. She doesn't speak french at all really, but trying
to learn from scratch, poor thing!
Fortunately God has graced me with just enough french to feel
comfortable with it as otherwise this cross would have been so
much harder for me to bare!
The two greatest commandments of Jesus.
"Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy
whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and
the first commandment. And
the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and
the prophets." (Matthew 22:3-40)
How can anyone claim to love Jesus if they do not care about the
needs of their neighbours (especially their spiritual needs
which are more important than our physical needs considering the
fact that we are ultimately "immortal" beings and face judgement
upon our death? Clearly, dismissing the needs of our
neighbours is a mortal sin.
The Church (irrelative of building, language,etc) belongs to
Jesus Christ and His people. God doesn’t listen to those who do
not follow His commandments (Commandment #1 most important!).
Therefore, all the praying and service any person/s is (are)
doing within the church and beyond are useless without love,
mercy and obedience to the ten commandments of God (especially
the 1st Commandment).
"When one is in a
state of mortal sin, works
have no merit in heaven nor on earth" and God eventually "pulls
the graces" (coming from the sacraments, etc) according to Fr.
Chad Ripperger. Jesus wants our hearts! “Disobedience equals No
Holy Spirit ” (Fr. John Corapi) This separation from God leaves
one open to diabolical influence (evil) and "possession".
Ultimately, everyone
has free will and is ultimately capable of choosing to go
towards the light (Jesus) or darkness (Satan).
Due to being "banned from doing private
adoration" for the incomprehensible reason that "I am the
exception"
I have had no choice but to do "public
adoration" before mass or after mass which is quite difficult
with all the noise!
The choir and the new singing duo are practising
their songs over and over again and many parishioners are
talking.
And when they aren't singing, they are blaring recorded music! This was definately not the case when Fr. Josef was here. Surely, these
people can practice at home before they come to church or
set aside a specific day to go to church and practice (I know
they do have scheduled choir practices). Not to mention, some
noise can sometimes be heard from construction going on outside
which is bad enough!
As you know I love music and I love to sing to the Lord,
however, this is a time for silence unless you are doing
"private adoration" and can sing to him by yourself as this
indeed becomes a conversation with the individual and Our Lord
Jesus (and you are not bothering anyone else).
If this is not bad enough, the choir (Sunday
mass) or the singing duo (Saturday liturgy mass) play music and sing
during Holy Communion (and sometimes the music is quite
inappropriate and loud). I often feel like I am in a place of
"entertainment"!This is unjust where Our Lord is
concerned. As you know I love to sing to the Lord, but this is
another time I like silence. I want to walk up to Communion in
silence and I want to go back to my seat and be quiet with Jesus
so that we can communicate with each other. In fact, a family
friend has a similar problem in another parish - too much noise!
Also, I can't ever remember a time, when a catholic church was
noisy, the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out!
On this Easter
Day, as I sat out on the patio during the 3 o'clock hour
to do "The Divine Mercy Prayer" I looked up into the most
beautiful vivid blue, sunny sky and low and behold, as I looked
way up high as far as I could see into the sky (the heavens), I
saw 3 seagulls fly by - The Holy Trinity has been constantly
reassuring me of Their presence. It is only here at my home now
that I can truly experience God in "Silence" via "My Living
Tabernacle - The Host Inside of Me." I suppose this is not a
very good sign for things to come. If certain people
(not doing the will of Christ) get to
control how and when an individual can and cannot worship God
inside a church (God's home),
it will surely lead to having to worship "underground" as has
happened in our history.
Jesus Talks To Silent Souls
Communion, and Adoration (Public
or private) adoration are times when there should be silence so
as to not interfere with souls hearing the voice of God.
Contemplative Prayer (the
highest form of prayer by the way),
according to St. Teresa of Avila, “is nothing else than a close
sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be
alone with him who we know loves us.”
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalms 46:10
"Could you not sit with me but one hour?" Matthew 26:40
St. Maria Faustina On Silence
“The Holy Spirit does not speak to a soul
that is distracted and garrulous. He speaks by His quiet
inspirations to a soul that is recollected, to a soul that knows
how to keep silence. If silence were strictly observed, there
would not be any grumbling, bitterness, slandering, or gossip and
charity would not be tarnished. In a word, many wrongs would not
be done. Silent lips are pure gold and bear witness to holiness
within.” (Diary 552)
"Silence is a sword in the spiritual
struggle. A talkative soul will never attain sanctity. The sword
of silence will cut off everything that would like to cling to
the soul. We are sensitive to words and quickly want to answer
back, without taking any regard as to whether it is God‟s will
that we should speak. A silent soul is strong; no adversities
will harm it if it perseveres in silence. The silent soul is
capable of attaining the closest union with God. It lives almost
always under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God works in a
silent soul without hindrance." (Diary 477)
"Silence is so powerful a language that it reaches the throne of
the living God. Silence is His language, though secret, yet
living and powerful." (Diary 888)
'The Lord gave me to know how displeased He
is with a talkative soul. "I find no rest in such a soul. The
constant din tires Me, and in the midst of it the soul cannot
discern My voice."'(Diary 1008)
"The tongue is a small member, but it does big things. A
religious who does not keep silence will never attain
holiness; that is, she will never become a saint. Let her not
delude herself - unless it is the Spirit of God who is speaking
through her, for then she must not keep silent. But, in order to
hear the voice of God, one has to have silence in one's soul and
to keep silence; not a gloomy silence, but an interior silence;
that is to say, recollection in God. One can speak a great deal
without breaking silence and, on the contrary, one can speak
little and be constantly breaking silence. Oh, what irreparable
damage is done by the breach of silence! We cause a lot of harm
to our neighbour, but even more to our own selves." (Diary 118)
Our tongue can
build others up, or cut them down. Our tongue also has a direct
effect upon our own soul. When the tongue speaks words inspired
by God, we grow in holiness. When the tongue speaks words not
from God, we do great damage to our souls and others. The goal
is not so much exterior silence; rather, it’s interior silence.
Interior silence means that we think and pray before we speak.
It means we are interiorly recollected and in tune with the
voice of God speaking silently and gently within our conscience.
This interior recollection of God is necessary if we are to
dispose ourselves to speak the words of Mercy to others at the
right time and in the right way." (Diary 118)
"God does not give Himself to a chattering soul which, like a
drone in a beehive, buzzes around but gathers no honey. A
talkative soul is empty inside. It lacks both the essential
virtues and intimacy with God. A deeper interior life, one of
gentle peace and of that silence where the Lord dwells, is quite
out of the question. A soul that has never tasted the sweetness
of inner silence is a restless spirit which disturbs the silence
of others. I have seen many souls in the depths of hell for not
having kept their silence;they told me so themselves when I
asked them what was the cause of their undoing. These were souls
of religious. My God, what an agony it is to think that not only
might they have been in heaven, but they might even have become
saints! O Jesus, have mercy!" (Diary 118)
"I tremble to think that I have to give an
account of my tongue. There is life, but there is also death in
the tongue. Sometimes we kill with the tongue; we commit real
murders. And we are still to regard that as a small thing? I
truly do not understand such consciences. I have known a person
who, when she learned from someone that a certain thing was
being said about her, fell seriously ill. She lost a good deal
of blood and shed many tears, and the outcome was very sad. It
was not the sword that did all this, but the tongue. O my silent
Jesus, have mercy on us!" (Diary 119)
"The soul that reflects receives much light.
A distracted soul runs the risk of a fall, and let it not be
surprised when it does fall. O Spirit of God, Director of the
soul, wise is he whom You have trained! But for the Spirit of
God to act in the soul, peace and recollection are needed.
(Diary 145)
"Patience, prayer and silence – these are what give strength to
the soul. There are moments when one should be silent, and when
it would be inappropriate to talk with creatures; these are the
moments when one is dissatisfied with oneself, and when the soul
feels as as a little child. Then the soul clings to God with all
its might. At such times, I live solely by faith, and when I
feel strengthened by God's grace, then I am more courageous in
speaking and communicating with my neighbours." (Diary 944)
Mother Teresa On Silence
Mother Teresa exclaimed, “In
the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer
and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you
are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your
emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer
are souls of great silence.”
“We need to find God and God
cannot be found in noise and restlessness. We cannot place
ourselves directly in God’s presence without imposing upon
ourselves interior and exterior silence. That is why we must
accustom ourselves to stillness of the soul, of the eyes, of the
tongue. There is no life of prayer without silence.”
“In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in
prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know
that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your
nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself.
Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.”
“We too are
called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and
aloneness with God, together as a community as well as
personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts,
and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell
lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and
motionless.”
“We need silence to be alone with
God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep
in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be
renewed and to be transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on
life. In it we are filled with the grace of God himself, which
makes us do all things with joy.”
“If we are careful of silence it
will be easy to pray. There is so much talk, so much repetition,
so much carrying on of tales in words and in writing. Our prayer
life suffers so much because our hearts are not silent.”
One Soul Coming Before the
Blessed Sacrament Can Change the World - Why?
The Church teaches that the most efficacious
form of prayer is prayer in the Presence of Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament. Prayer in the Divine Presence of Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament releases the power, the blessings, and the graces of
God.
The Gospel tells us that everyone wanted
to touch Jesus because power and graces flowed out from Him.
"Now there was a woman who had suffered from
a haemorrhage for twelve years; after long and painful treatment
under various doctors, she spent all she had without being any
the better for it, in fact, she was getting worse. She had heard
about Jesus, and she came up behind him through the crowd and
touched his cloak. ‘If I can touch even his clothes,’ she had
told herself ‘I shall be well again.’And the source of the
bleeding dried up instantly, and she felt in herself that she
was cured of her complaint. Immediately aware that power had
gone out from him, Jesus turned round in the crowd and said,
‘Who touched my clothes?’
His disciples said to him, ‘You see how the crowd is pressing
round you and yet you say, “Who touched me?” But he continued to
look all round to see who had done it.Then the woman came
forward, frightened and trembling because she knew what had
happened to her, and she fell at his feet and told him the whole
truth.‘My daughter,’ he said ‘your faith has restored you to
health; go in peace and be free from your complaint.’ (Mark
5:25-34)
"and everyone in the crowd was trying to
touch him because power came out of him that cured them
all."(Luke 6:19)
The Catechism Of The Catholic
Church - Adoration, Prayer, Sacrifice
Adoration
is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature
before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made
us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from
evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the "King of Glory,"
respectful
silence in the
presence of the "ever greater" God. Adoration of the thrice-holy
and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives
assurance to our supplications. (CCC, 2628)
"HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE"
"The theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity inform and
give life to the moral virtues. Thus charity leads us to render
to God what we as creatures owe him in all justice. The virtue
of religion disposes us to have this attitude." (CCC, 2095)
Adoration
"Adoration
is the first act of the virtue of religion.
To adore God is to acknowledge him as God, as the Creator and
Savior, the Lord and Master of everything that exists, as
infinite and merciful Love. "You shall worship the
Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve," says Jesus, citing
Deuteronomy.13" (CCC,
2096)
"To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute
submission, the "nothingness of the creature" who would not
exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt Him and
to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing
with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is His name.The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on
himself, from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world."
(CCC, 2097)
Prayer
"The acts of faith, hope, and charity enjoined by the first
commandment are accomplished in prayer. Lifting up the mind
toward God is an expression of our adoration of God: prayer of
praise and thanksgiving, intercession and petition. Prayer is an
indispensable condition for being able to obey God's
commandments. [We] ought always to pray and not lose heart."
(CCC, 2098)
Sacrifice
"It is right to offer sacrifice to God as a sign of adoration
and gratitude, supplication and communion: "Every action done so
as to cling to God in communion of holiness, and thus achieve
blessedness, is a true sacrifice." (CCC, 2099)
"Outward sacrifice, to be genuine, must be the expression of
spiritual sacrifice: "The sacrifice acceptable to God is a
broken spirit. . . . "The prophets of the Old Covenant often
denounced sacrifices that were not from the heart or not coupled
with love of neighbor. Jesus recalls the words of the prophet
Hosea: "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice."The only perfect
sacrifice is the one that Christ offered on the cross as a total
offering to the Father's love and for our salvation. By uniting
ourselves with his sacrifice we can make our lives a sacrifice
to God." (CCC, 2100)
St. Pope
John Paul II - Eucharistic Adoration
The underlying theme of the
Church's Eucharistic teaching is the fact of Christ's Real
Presence
"Christ's consoling presence in the Blessed
Sacrament. His Real Presence in the fullest sense; the
substantial presence by which the whole and complete Christ, God
and man, is present."
"The Church and the world have a great need
of Eucharistic Adoration."
“At adoration He grants us a share in Jesus
divine life in a transforming union.”
"Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is an
important daily practice and becomes an inexhaustible source of
holiness. It is pleasant to spend time with Christ, to lie close
to his breast like the Beloved Disciple and to feel the infinite
love present in His heart.”
"I hope that this form of Perpetual
Adoration, with permanent exposition of the Blessed Sacrament,
will continue into the future. Specifically, I hope that the
establishment of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration will be
realized in all parishes and christian communities throughout
the world."
St. Maria Faustina Helena
Kowalska, Of The Blessed Sacrament
“as the wonderful gift of His presence on
earth”. During Mass, “I thanked the Lord Jesus for having
redeemed us and for having given us the greatest of all gifts,
the Holy Eucharist”. “You wanted to stay with us, and so you
left us yourself in the Sacrament of the Altar, and you opened
wide your mercy to us. You opened an inexhaustible spring of
mercy for us, giving us your dearest possession, the Blood and
Water, that gushed forth from Your Heart.” (Diary 1747).
"I will spend all my free moments at the feet
of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. At the feet of Jesus, I
will seek light, comfort, and strength. I will show my gratitude
unceasingly to God for His great mercy towards me." (Diary 224)
“I take refuge in the Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament, and I speak to Him with profound silence.”
(Diary 73)
“I will sing of my pain to You by my silence,
and You will understand me beyond any utterance.” (Diary 1490)
"I spend every free moment at the feet of the
hidden God. He is my Master; I ask Him about everything; I speak
to Him about everything. Here I obtain strength and light; here
I learn everything; here I am given light on how to act toward
my neighbour. He Himself drew me into the fire of living love on
which everything converges." (Diary 704)
“The most solemn moment of my life is the
moment when I receive Holy Communion and for every Holy
Communion I give thanks to the Most Holy Trinity.” (Diary 1804).
“The most solemn moment of my life is the moment when I receive
Holy Communion and for every Holy Communion I give thanks to the
Most Holy Trinity” (Diary 1804).
I am going forward through life amidst
rainbows and storms, but with my head held high with pride, for
I am a royal child. I feel that the blood of Jesus is
circulating in my veins, and I have put my trust in the great
mercy of the Lord. (Diary 992)
"I saw the same rays issuing from the
monstrance and spreading throughout the Church. I asked Jesus
that He deign to light the fire of His love in all souls that
were cold. Beneath these rays a heart will grow warm even if
were like a block of ice; even if it were as hard as a rock, it
will crumble into dust." (Diary 370)
"I saw the two rays coming out from the
Host." (Diary 344)
"When the priest took the Blessed Sacrament
to bless the people, I saw the Lord Jesus.. The Lord gave His
blessing, and the rays extended over the whole world." (Diary
420)
"A Holy Hour before the Most Blessed
Sacrament so pleases the Heart of Jesus, that every man, woman
and child on earth receives a new effect from God’s goodness and
love, all because of a single hour of adoration in His
Presence."
Jesus To St. Faustina
"My child, do you fear
the God of mercy? My holiness does not prevent Me from being
merciful. Behold,
for you I have established a throne of mercy on earth the
tabernacle and from this throne I desire to enter into your
heart. I am not surrounded by a
retinue or guards. You can come to Me at any moment, at any
time; I want to speak to you and desire to grant you grace."
(Diary, 1485)
"Adore in the Most Blessed Sacrament My
Heart, which is full of mercy."(Diary 1572)
"I want adoration to take place… for the
intention of imploring mercy for the world." (Diary 1070)
"My daughter, I want to instruct you on how
you are to rescue souls through sacrifice and prayer.
You will save more souls through prayer and suffering than will
a missionary through
his teachings and sermons alone. I want to see you as a
sacrifice of living love, which only then carries weight before
me. You must be annihilated, destroyed, living as if you were
dead
in the most secret depths of your being. You must be destroyed
in that secret depth where the human eye has never penetrated;
then will I find in you a pleasing sacrifice, a holocaust full
of sweetness and fragrance.
And great will be your power for whomever you intercede.
Outwardly, your sacrifice must look like this:
silent, hidden, permeated with love, imbued with prayer. I
demand, my daughter, that your sacrifice be pure and full of
humility, that I may find pleasure in it. I will not spare my
grace, that you may be able to fulfill
what I demand of you. I will now instruct you on what your
holocaust shall consist of, in everyday life, so as to preserve
you from illusions.You shall accept all sufferings with love. Do
not be afflicted if your heart often experiences repugnance and
dislike for sacrifice. All its power rests in the will, and so
these contrary feelings, far from lowering the value of the
sacrifice in my eyes, will enhance it. Know that your body and
soul will often be in the midst of fire. Although you will not
feel my presence on some occasions,
I will always be with you. Do not fear; my grace will be with
you." "My daughter, I want to instruct you on how you are to
rescue souls through sacrifice and prayer. (Diary 1767)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
"The only time our Lord asked the Apostles
for anything was the night He went into agony. Not for activity
did He plead but for an Hour of companionship."
"A Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration is a
sharing in the work of Redemption."
St. Padre Pio
St. Padre Pio wrote that Jesus appeared to
him saying, “My Heart has been forgotten. Nobody cares for My
love; I am always grief stricken … My priests that I have always
protected, who have always had My favour; they should comfort My
grieving heart; they should help me in the redemption of souls,
instead – who would believe it? They repay Me with ingratitude
and rejection. I see many of these … who hypocritically betray
Me with sacrilegious Communions, stomping on the grace and the
strength that I constantly give them.”
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
"When you look at the crucifix, you
understand how much Jesus loved you. When you look at the Sacred
Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now. This is why we
need Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in every Parish throughout
the entire World."
“Each one of us is a co-worker of Christ - we
must labor hard to carry Him to the hearts where He has not yet
been known and loved...But, unless we have Jesus, we cannot give
Him; that is why we need the Eucharist. Spend as much time as
possible in front of the Blessed Sacrament and He will fill you
with His strength and His power.”
Faithfulness To The
Inspirations Of The Holy Spirit Requires Constant Vigilance and
Prayer
"O Jesus, keep me in holy fear (that is in
fear of committing a sin), so that I may not waste graces. Help
me to be faithful to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Grant
that my heart may burst for love of You, rather than I should
neglect even one act of love for You." (Diary 1557)
The Soul That Responds To
God's Grace
"... the soul's life with God and about its
response to grace. When a soul has been cleansed, and the Lord
is on intimate terms with it, it begins to apply all its inner
force in striving after God. Yet the soul cannot do anything of
itself. God alone arranges everything. The soul knows this and
is mindful of it. It is still in exile and understands well that
there may yet come cloudy and rainy days, but it must now look
upon things differently from what it had up to now. It does not
seek reassurance in a false peace, but makes ready for battle.
It knows it comes from a warrior race. It is now much more aware
of everything. It knows that it is of royal stock. It is
concerned with all that is great and holy." (Diary 120)
Let Us Beware Of Adding
To The Suffering Of Others As That Is A Grave Sin
"I will mention here that those who live with such a person
(suffering soul) should not add external sufferings; for indeed,
when the soul's cup is full, the little drop we may add to it
may be the one drop too much, and the cup of bitterness will
overflow. And who will answer for such a soul? Let us beware of
adding to the suffering of others, because that is displeasing
to the Lord. If the sisters or the superiors knew or even
suspected that a soul was suffering such trials, and they
nevertheless added still other sufferings, they would be sinning
gravely, and God himself would demand an account of them on
behalf of such a soul. I am not speaking here of instances which
of their very nature are sinful, but of things which in other
circumstances would not be sinful. Let us be on our guard
against having the weight of such a soul on our conscience. This
is a grave and common defect in religious life; namely, that
when one sees a suffering soul, one always wants to add even
more suffering. I do not say that everyone acts like this, but
there are some. We take the liberty of passing all sorts of
judgments, and we repeat them when we would do better to remain
silent." (Diary 117)
**NEW** Mother's Day , May 8/2022
"The Divine Mercy Image and
Prayer Are Crucial For The Salvation of Humanity!"
"The Divine Mercy" Message
Is The Heart Of The Gospels (Luke 10:25-37)
The Parable Of The Good Samaritan
“… Master, what must I
do to possess eternal life?
But he said to
him: What is written in the law? how readest thou? He answering,
said: 'Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour
as thyself.'And he said to him: Thou hast answered
right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he willing to justify
himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? And Jesus
answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and
having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way:
and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he
was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain
Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him,
was moved with compassion. And going up to him, bound up
his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his
own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the
next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said:
Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and
above, I, at my return, will repay thee. 'Which of these
three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the
robbers?' But he said:
'He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou
in like manner.' - Luke 10:25-37
"Tell sinners that no one shall escape My
Hand; if they run away from My Merciful Heart, they will fall
into My Just Hands. Tell sinners that I am always waiting for
them, that I listen intently to the beating of their heart ...
when will it beat for Me? Write, that I am speaking to them
through their remorse of conscience, through their failures and
sufferings, through thunderstorms, through the voice of the
Church. And if they bring all My graces to naught, I begin to be
angry with them, leaving them alone and giving them what they
want." (Diary, 1728)
"By means of
this Image I shall be granting many graces, so let every soul
have access to it." (Diary, 570)
"Already there are many souls who
have been drawn to My love by this image. My mercy acts in souls
through this work." (Diary
1379)
Today I woke up
with a very uncomfortable feeling inside of me. Once I entered
the church, I walked to the tabernacle and low and behold, "The
Divine Mercy Image" was gone/covered up (as I had predicted would happen
considering the shrine was slowly being dismantled after the
polish priest left last year)! Talk about disheartening, I felt
sick to my stomach to say the least! The image was covered up by
another image of "God The Father at the top, Jesus on the
crucifix in the middle and the virgin Mary on the bottom." While
I have never seen an image with this combination (normally you
see The Holy Trinity which is already displayed at the bottom of
the tabernacle) I was not upset by it at all. What I was
upset about is that "The Divine Mercy Image" was gone?! So
much for "The Divine Mercy Shrine" that Fr. Josef (our prior
polish priest) had brought to our church (see photos above), a
great grace from God that came from Poland - rejected and so
unappreciated to say the least! I felt within the depth of my
heart and soul, the anger and sadness of God at the ingratitude
of the souls responsible! The will of Jesus (God) was once again
set aside for the will of man. Lord have mercy! Knowing, full
well that God in His permissive will is in control here - This
is a case of Jesus "leaving those ungrateful individuals in this
parish alone and giving them
what they want." Yikes, this is something we surely do not want
to happen! These words of Jesus certainly came to mind:
"And if they bring
all My graces to naught, I begin to be angry with them, leaving
them alone and giving them what they want." (Diary, 1728)
So now, I bring a
small "5x6 Divine Mercy Image" in my purse to church with me - I
will simply not let Satan stop me from venerating "The
Divine Mercy Image" at church and asking God to pour His graces
upon me coming from the image and the taberacle - the graces,
many do not want to accept, in this way consoling the Heart of
Christ.
"I
have come out to meet you, to lavish new graces on you. I am
looking for souls who would like to receive My grace." (Diary,
1705)
"My
Heart overflows with great mercy for souls and especially for
poor sinners.... I desire to bestow my graces upon souls [from
the tabernacle] but they do not want to accept them. You, at
least, come to Me as often as you can and take these graces they
do not want to accept. In this way you will console my Heart."
(Diary, 367)
Jesus' tells us that it is His will that "The Divine Mercy
Image" be venerated publicly in all churches throughout the
world and that every soul has access to it. He tells us that
"The Divine Mercy Image" is a vessel (a fountain of mercy) and
promises that He will grant protection and many graces to those
that venerate the image, especially victory over all enemies. He
further tells us that many souls will be saved through this
image and that the rays coming from the image will shield souls
from the wrath of The Father. This is especially important
during these apocalyptic times we are in now and chastisement
has already begun. Many holy religious have already previously instructed
us to erect "The Divine Mercy Image" on the doors of our homes
for protection (2020).
"Paint an image
according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I
trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in
your chapel, and [then] throughout the world." (Diary
47)
"I promise that the
soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also
promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth,
especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My
own glory." (Diary 48)
"I desire that the
image be publicly honoured." (Diary 414)
"I am offering people
a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the
fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature:
Jesus, I trust in You." (Diary 327)
These rays shield
souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who will
dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay
hold of him. I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the
Feast of Mercy. (Diary 299)
When I spoke about this
to Mother Superior [Rose (note30), telling her] that God had
asked this of me, she answered that Jesus should give some sign
so that we could recognize Him more clearly. When I asked the
Lord Jesus for a sign as a proof “that You are truly my God and
Lord and that this request comes from You,” I heard this
interior voice, I will make this all clear to the Superior by
means of the graces which I will grant through this image. (Diary
51)
The two rays denote
Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes
souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the
life of souls...These two rays issued forth from the very depths
of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance
on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My
Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for
the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him. I desire that
the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. (Diary 299)
"Know that if you
neglect the matter of the painting of the image and the whole
work of mercy, you will have to answer for a multitude of souls
on the day of judgment." (Diary
154)
"I am
giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbour:
the first - by deed, the second - by word, the third - by
prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of
mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this
means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy. Yes, the
first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must
also be acts of mercy, and I demand the worship of My mercy
through the solemn celebration of the Feast and through the
veneration of the image which is painted. By means of this image
I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of
the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of
no avail without works."
(Diary 742)
"By means of
this Image I shall be granting many graces, so let every soul
have access to it." (Diary, 570)
"Already there are many souls who
have been drawn to My love by this image. My mercy acts in souls
through this work." (Diary
1379)
"Oh,
if sinners knew My mercy, they would not perish in such great
numbers. Tell sinful souls not to be afraid to approach Me;
speak to them of My great mercy." (Diary 1396)
"And who knows
anything about this feast? No one! Even those who should be
proclaiming My mercy and teaching people about it often do not
know about it themselves. That is why I want the image to be
solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it
to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it."
(Diary 341)
"When the
image was displayed, I saw a sudden movement of the hand of
Jesus, as He made a large sign of the cross. In the
evening of the same day, (...) I saw the image going over the
town, and the town was covered with what appeared to be a mesh
and nets. As Jesus passed, He cut through all the nets..."
(Diary, 416).
When I was in the Gate
of Dawn attending the ceremony during which the image was
displayed, I heard a sermon given by my confessor. When he began
to speak [Father Sopoćko] about the great Mercy of Our Lord, the
image came alive and the rays pierced the hearts of the people
gathered there, but not all to the same degree. Some received
more, some less, Great joy filled my heart to see the grace of
God. (Diary 417).
"Toward the end of the service, when the
priest took the Blessed Sacrament to bless the people,
I saw Our Lord Jesus as He is represented in the image. Our Lord
gave His blessing, and the rays extended over the whole world.
Suddenly, I saw an impenetrable brightness in the form of a
crystal dwelling place, woven together from waves of brilliance
unapproachable to both creatures and spirits. Three doors led to
this resplendence. At that moment, Jesus, as He is represented
in the image, entered this resplendence through the second door
to the Unity within." (Diary, 420).
"When I received the
article about Divine Mercy with the image [on the cover], God’s
presence filled me in an extraordinary way. When I steeped
myself in prayer of thanksgiving, I
suddenly saw the Lord Jesus in a great brightness, just as He is
painted, and at His feet I saw Father Andrasz and Father
Sopocko. Both were holding pens in their hands, and flashes of
light an fire, like lightning, were coming from the tips of
their pens and striking a great crowd of people who were
hurrying I know not where. Whoever was touched by the ray of
light immediately turned his back on the crowd and held out his
hands to Jesus. Some returned with great joy, others with great
pain and compunction.” (Diary 675).
"Today, I saw two
enormous pillars planted in the ground; I had planted one of
them, and a certain person, S. M. (Sopocko M.), the other.
(...). These two pillars were close to each other, in the area
of the Image. And I saw the Image, raised up very high and
hanging from these two pillars. In an instant, upon these two
pillars, supported both from inside and outside, there stood a
large temple. I saw a hand finishing the temple, but I did not
see the person doing so. There was a great multitude of people,
inside and outside the temple, and the torrents issuing from the
Compassionate Heart of Jesus were flowing down upon everyone."
(Diary 1689).
"Today I saw the glory
of God which flows from the Image. Many souls are receiving
graces, although they do not speak of it openly. Even though it
has faced all kinds of vicissitudes, God is receiving glory
because of it; and the efforts of Satan and of evil men are
shattered and come to naught. In spite of Satan’s anger, the
Divine Mercy will triumph over the whole world and will be
worshipped by all souls." (Diary 1789).
"Tell
sinners that no one shall escape My Hand; if they run away from
My Merciful Heart, they will fall into My Just Hands. Tell
sinners that I am always waiting for them, that I listen
intently to the beating of their heart ... when will it beat for
Me? Write, that I am speaking to them through their remorse of
conscience, through their failures and sufferings, through
thunderstorms, through the voice of the Church. And if they
bring all My graces to naught, I begin to be angry with them,
leaving them alone and giving them what they want." (Diary,
1728)
Today,
the Lord also placed it upon my heart to do a video clip of Fr.
Chris Alar's video that addresses "ab@rtion" (and other evil
acts that destroy life). I had planned to do this video months
ago but kept putting it off for lack of time etc. However,
today, being Mother's Day, I felt Jesus pulling at my heart
strings, prompting me to do it asap! Recently, a family friend from
another parish informed me that our local hospital (previously a
Catholic Hospital) performs 8 ab@rtions per week! Considering
this very grave situation, it is of the utmost importance that
we display "The Divine Mercy Image" in all of our churches, here
and throughout the world - to "counteract this culture of death
and the chastisement that comes as a result. Hence, we need to
venerate "The Divine Mercy Image" and ask Him for
mercy and graces, now more than ever!
"The two rays denote
Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes
souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the
life of souls...These two rays issued forth from the very depths
of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance
on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My
Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for
the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him. I desire that
the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy." (Diary 299)
*Video* The Chaplet of Divine
Mercy Was Given For This! Fr. Chris Alar, MIC
"The devil hates God's Mercy because more
than anything else it brought about the creation of man, the
crown of creation, made in God's own image and likeness, sharing in His Divine
Life."The Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer was revealed by Jesus Christ to
St. Faustina (and the whole world) to counteract
the act that goes against His creation and the punishment
(chastisement) that comes from it as a result." (Fr.
Seraphim Michalenko, MIC - A Giant in The Divine Mercy Movement)
"I am the Lord in My essence and am immune to
orders or needs. If I call creatures into being - that is the
abyss of My mercy." (Diary 85)
"September 16, 1937. I wanted
very much to make a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament
today, but God's will was otherwise. At eight o'clock I was
seized with such violent pains that I had to go to bed at once.
I was convulsed with pain for three hours; that is, until eleven
o'clock at night. No medicine had any effect on me, and whatever
I swallowed I threw up. At times, the pains caused me to lose
consciousness. Jesus had me realize that in this way I took
part in His Agony in the Garden, and that He himself allowed
these sufferings in order to offer reparation to God for the
souls murdered in the wombs of wicked mothers. I have gone
through these sufferings three times now. They always start at
eight o'clock in the evening and last until eleven. No medicine
can lessen these sufferings. When eleven o'clock comes, they
cease by themselves, and I fall asleep at that moment. The
following day, I feel very weak.
This happened to me for the first time when I was at the
sanatorium. The doctors couldn't get to the bottom of it, and no
injection or medicine helped me at all nor did I myself have any
idea of what the sufferings were about. I told the doctor that
never before in my life had I experienced such sufferings, and
he declared he did not know what sort of pains they are. But now
I understand the nature of these pains, because the Lord himself
has made this known to me.... Yet when I think that I may
perhaps suffer in this way again, I tremble. But I don't know
whether I'll ever again suffer in this way; I leave that to God.
What it pleases God to send, I will accept with submission and
love. If only I could save even one soul from murder by means
of these sufferings!" (Diary,1276)
"One day Jesus told me
that He would cause a chastisement to fall upon the most
beautiful city in our country [probably Warsaw]. This
chastisement would be that with which God had punished Sodom and
Gomorrah. I saw the great wrath of God and a shudder pierced
my heart. I prayed in silence. After a moment, Jesus said to me,
My child, unite yourself closely to Me during the Sacrifice and
offer My Blood and My Wounds to My Father in expiation for the
sins of that city. Repeat this without interruption throughout
the entire Holy Mass. Do this for seven days. On the seventh day
I saw Jesus in a bright cloud and began to beg Him to look upon
the city and upon our whole country. Jesus looked [down]
graciously. When I saw the kindness of Jesus, I began to beg His
blessing. Immediately Jesus said, For your sake I bless the
entire country. And He made a big sign of the cross over our
country. Seeing the goodness of God, a great joy filled my
soul." (Diary
39)
I highly recommend watching the above
video clip as Fr. Alar explains the biblical history of "child
sacrifice"(ab@rtion) and its consequence of chastisement. In
fact, suicide, euthanasia, ivf, etc are all linked to Satan's hatred
of Christ. Considering Satan can no longer harm Christ, He wants
to destroy us who are made in His Image and Likeness.
We need "The Divine Mercy Image" and "The
Divine Mercy Prayer" in our churches and in our homes (and
outside our doors), now more
than ever before - don't be fooled by Satan! Pray to God
everyday and ask Him to shield you from Satan's deception.
I also ask for your prayers, that "The
Divine Mercy Shrine" ( a grace that came from Poland, via Fr.
Josef our previous polish priest) be restored in our church -
this particular church being chosen by God to remind our world
of "The Divine Mercy" message given to St. Maria Faustina Helena
Kowalska, February 22, 1931) and "The Heart of The Gospels" . Jesus appeared to St. Faustina in
her convent room and directed her to "paint an image according
to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in
You" (Diary of St. Faustina, 47-48). He attached many promises
to those who venerate this image.

On a side note: This morning (May
14/2022), The Lord woke me up at the 3:00 Hour and told me
(locution) to "Remind them that The Divine
Mercy Image is My Face - The Face of God." The
image, St. Faustina was instructed by Jesus to paint.
The Divine Mercy Image is the
only image that exists that Jesus (God) Himself
instructed man (via St. Maria Faustina Kowalska) to paint.
Therefore, the image and associated prayer, deserve
acknowledgement, the highest
reverence and appreciation in all of The Roman Catholic Churches
throughout the whole world (this is something Jesus Himself
requested).
"He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a
prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just
man, shall receive the reward of a just man." (Matthew
10:41)
"We beg you, our
friends, to pay proper respect to those who work among you, who

Sacrament that this thirst devours me." (Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque)
"Pray, pray very much, and
make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to hell,
because there are none to sacrifice themselves and to pray for

"Do not offend Our Lord and
God any more, because He is already so much offended!"
(The

"Our
lady
pointed out to us which kind of sins offend God most. They say
that Jacinta, when in Lisbon, mentioned sins of the flesh."
(The Words of Lucia, Fatima
In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 111)
I will begin this entry with
the following excerpts from the book, "Fatima in Lucia's own
words" as God revealed many things to me through this work.
It has become a great source of comfort to me.
While I was familiar with
"Our Lady of Fatima" apparitions I had not read
Lucia's memoirs until now.
In the
following excerpt, Lucia tells us about their encounter with an
Angel in 1916. To my knowledge, many private revelations are
proceeded by a visit from an Angel which is an important
indication of their authenticity. This was the case for the
Virgin Mary as we know with the Angel Gabriel appearing to her.
This has been my experience as well, in that I had two private
revelations of St Michael connected with two statues, where I
experienced his spiritual presence as well as that of Satan,
although I did not see them. I
have also had other mystical experiences associated with
St. Michael which I have
mentioned in my previous writings, although I have not shared
them all. Also, my first face to face encounter with Jesus
Christ in my parish Church happened on September 29 (2018) which is
St.
Michael's Feast Day and that was definitely no coincidence!
I will take
this opportunity to mention that I do not believe that the date
"1916" is a mere coincidence either , as it contains the numbers"19" (Covid
19) and "16" ("The Mother of Mercy's" feast day is
"November 16", as is my own birthday). I also find it
interesting that the Virgin Mary always appeared to the children
on the "13th" day of the month. I also find it interesting to
note that the only word I spoke to Jesus on my second face to face encounter with Him
(October 6, 2018) was "Treize" (thirteen) which was in response to
His question, "Quelle
page? (What page?). Page "thirteen" of my missal, was "The
Liturgy of the Eucharist" and I don't believe this is a coincidence
either. Strangely, my first mail box number was "13"
which I hated at the time as I thought this number was
considered a bad luck number. As time went on I learned that the
number 13 in Italy is a good luck number, so being of italian
heritage, I have come to believe this as well.
"We looked up startled to see
what was happening, for the day was unusually calm. Then
we saw coming towards us, above the olive trees, the figure I
have already spoken about, Jacinta and Francisco had never seen
it before, nor had I ever mentioned it to them. As it drew
closer, we were able to distinguish its features. It was a
young man, about 14 or 15 years old, whiter than snow,
transparent as crystal when the sun shines through it, and of
great beauty. On reaching us he said:
"Do not be afraid! I
am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me." Kneeling on the
ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground, and
made us repeat these words three times:
"My God, I believe, I
adore, I hope and I love You! I asked pardon of You for
those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not
love You."
Then, rising, he said:
"Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to
the voice of your supplications." (Fatima, in Lucia's own words,
pg 62)
In this next
excerpt, Lucia tells us about their second encounter with the
Angel. After reading this, I made an instant connection to "The
Divine Mercy Prayer" that Jesus gave to St. Faustina (and the
whole world). Both prayers were given to us for the conversion of
sinners and the salvation of souls. There are also several
references made to "The Divine Mercy" throughout the book.
"As soon as we arrived there,
we knelt down, with our foreheads touching the ground, and began
to repeat the prayer of the Angel:
"My God, I believe, I
adore, I hope and I love you ..." I don't know how many
times we had repeated this prayer, when an extraordinary light
shone upon us. We sprang up to see what was happening, and
beheld the Angel.
He was holding a chalice
in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which
some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the
chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down beside
us and made us repeat three times:
"Most Holy Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the most precious Body,
Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the
tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages,
sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended.
And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and
the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of
poor sinners."(Fatima, in Lucia's own words, pg 64)
Solemnity of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus June 24, 2022
Life On
Earth Is A Great Spiritual Battle.The
following words from St. Faustina's diary came to mind on this
day:
"My child, life on earth is a
struggle indeed; a great struggle for My kingdom. But fear not,
because you’re not alone. I am always supporting you, so lean
on Me as you struggle, fear nothing. Take the vessel of trust
and draw from the fountain of life – for yourself, but also for
other souls, especially such as are distrustful of My goodness.
(Diary
1488)
"But child , you are not yet in
your homeland: So go, fortified by my grace, and fight for My
kingdom in human souls; fight as a King’s child would ; and
remember that the days of your exile will pass quickly , and
with them the possibility of earning merit for heaven." (Diary
1489)
My whole week leading up
to this day was just miserable as it was filled with many hard
fought battles , so much so that I completely forgot to go to
church on this special day and even if I had remembered, I don't
think I would have gone as I pretty much felt like spending the
day crying. I spent the whole part of the morning lamenting to
Jesus about the miserable week and the deep sadness in my soul with
regards to The Divine Mercy Image (and those of Pope John
Paul II and St. Faustina) being covered up by other images at
the tabernacle - and also being banned from Private Adoration as I
have explained previously. I did
not expect such spiritual blindness among other things (namely the parish council). Actually, deep down, I
suppose I did expect this, after all Jesus Himself was rejected to the
point of death!
This is persecution - being banned from
private adoration because the parish council members do not want
me there (even with the priest being present), the reason being
that "I was the only one doing it." This in ujust as It is denying Our
Lord of worship and myself the opportunity to worship The Lord (Jesus
Greatest Commandments #1 &2)! If you may recall in my past
writings, they had made
every effort to prevent me from becoming a parish member, hid the fact that there was an emergency exit
door, leading me to believe that I would be locked in, warning
me to leave as they were locking up, etc. Furthermore, they
tried at every opportunity to get me into trouble when I spoke
my mind regarding evangelization - to include the english
speaking
children of God in our town that have no church here when this
church is half, if not three quarters empty most of the time.
The truth is the council members all have
keys to the church and can do whatever they want there even when
the priest is not there, so it is obvious that I am getting
treated differently not them"- because I am not a francophone.They are taking their "french
language rights" to extremes that is for sure! In fact so much
so that they obviously cannot hear the voice of the Lord Jesus.
It appears that they have more power in this House of God than The Lord Himself, who
would definitely not approve of their behaviour! But "most"
of us know better, in that, it is Jesus who is in full control.
He is likely testing their loyalty to Him and charity for All
of His Children - So far they are failing
miserably! Every single person on this earth is unique and is
important to God. We are all royal children of God! Therefore,
anyone responsible for even "1" soul being lost based on their
"actions" or "inactions" will be accountable to Jesus!
I
have been "silently admonishing" them ever since I was banned from
private adoration. Why bother using words, they will only use
them against me as they have done in the past. Needless to say I am really missing Fr.
Josef at this time, our previous polish priest. I can remember
when I first told him about my private revelations, he looked at
me with such sincerity and told me I was "blessed". He also
encouraged me, telling me that I was free to speak openly about
it.Fr. Josef even moved the image of St. Faustina to a higher place,
directly to the right of The Divine Mercy Image at the
tabernacle (it was on a stand below it prior). He also
introduced a new image of St. Pope John Paul II, directly
next to the left of the Divine Mercy Image.
Oddly,
the second time I met with Fr. Josef, he told me that the
private revelations were not meant to be shared and that they
were meant just for me. This initial contradictory advice coming from Fr. Josef
beckoned me to ask God to provide the evidence I needed to support my claims and therefore the confidence to
share my private revelations (grace) publicly.In time
God answered my prayers and the
evidence to prove my claims was mounting. At that point, I did
experience a big sign of encouragement from The Holy Spirit (via Fr. Josef,
our previous polish priest) when he gave me"The Mother of Mercy Image"
(Lithuania) as I have explained in my previous writings.
Fr. Josef also
came to understand the opposition I was experiencing with
the parish council. Among other things, they were often closing the light on
The Divine Mercy Image when they knew I was going to pray there
and adore Jesus at the tabernacle. It became obvious to me that
Fr. Josef knew what was going on as he would even instruct them
to turn the light back on. He had everything under control and put a stop
to all of this nonsense. I can even remember being there one
evening after Saturday liturgy mass when two parish council members turned
the light off on me such that I had to use my cell phone so I
could see where I was going as it was pitch dark, being
winter at the time (this was after Fr. Josef had left the
parish). It is as though "all hell broke loose" here after
our fulltime priest, Fr.
Josef was gone! I can still remember arriving at church for mass
and seeing him almost always sitting in front of the tabernacle
praying in front of "The Divine Mercy Image". It is obvious that
he had received many graces there from Our Lord Jesus.
I can recall Fr. Josef's (our previous
polish priest) homilies and he always
repeated the statement "Le diable travaille vingt quatre heures,
vingt-quatre heures" translated to english as, "The devil
works 24/7." Considering the private revelations I had of St.
Michael and Satan prior to coming to this church, my soul
instinctively knew when I first heard Fr. Josef say this statement, that
God had brought me to this particular church to be part of His
very important mission to Save Souls. As time went on it became
obvious that I would be immersed in an intense spiritual battle.
Praise be to God that St. Michael is always near!
I reflected on the time, I was reading St.
Faustina's diary and thinking that if I was alive during her
time, I would have been like a puppy dog following her around and
asking her about Jesus (her private revelations) at every
opportunity, what He looked like, His mannerisms etc. Yet in my situation, many in
this parish (and many others) it seems they are not interested
in what I have revealed to them about Jesus, even when
there is undeniable evidence, literally staring them in the
face?! I suppose in some cases, this is because their
souls are not ready to go to the fountain of "The
Divine Mercy," Jesus. For once, they fully surrender to
Jesus, they will have no choice but to get on the path of
holiness which has become a very difficult feat these days,
considering the heavy spiritual battle we are in and which most
are completely unaware of. In this particular case, if they
fully surrendered to God, they would have no choice but to
welcome english speaking children of God by welcoming an english
mass - something they currently refuse to do even for The Love
of God if not for The Love of neighbour?!
I lamented to Jesus about the
incomprehensible injustice of being banned from private
adoration in Our Father's House, feeling like an outcast you
could say. I also lamented about how some people see me as a
"Jesus freak" when I "admonish" them or that
I am "holier than though"
when I choose to ignore (retreat and disengage) those who treat
me disrespectfully and/or whom I feel have bad intentions etc.
I also made it known to God, how I had
regretted sharing my private revelations with my parish (and
some
others outside of the church) and
of how I wished I would have just kept them to myself as this
way things would be more peaceful and joyful for me at church considering
no one knew who I was before and I was at peace. I felt rather discouraged you
could say, to the point of where I thought, what a waste of my
time and energy, especially when they wish I would just go away,
the council in particular!I even regretted admonishing people,
considering all the backlash I have received in return. I felt rather lonely with these
thoughts in that there was no one at this time that I felt would
understand what I have gone through except Jesus
Himself.
Also, I tried really hard to convince myself that
perhaps these private revelations were coming from the devil
himself. Fortunately, as God would have it, this did not work!
Since God Himself has provided me with undeniable evidence as to
the certainty of my private revelations, this line of thinking
was irrational, so provided no escape from the reality of it
all!
Therefore, finding no way to escape all that had transpired
in the last several years, an overwhelming feeling of wanting to
run and hide from everyone so I could be alone and be at peace
filled my soul!On a more positive note, as time goes on, I see this as a
great grace, in that this has opened up a bigger door for more
"contemplative prayer" which is the highest form of prayer. For
this, I am very grateful.
While it was most comforting talking to
Our Lord, feelings of guilt also surfaced in that I
thought to myself how could I complain of these things to Jesus, especially
since He blessed me with such extraordinary graces (private
revelations), which far
outweigh the associated hardship and persecution. Then I
thought, these discouraging thoughts were most certainly coming
from Satan and so I told him to get out of my head and go away, as I
have told him many times before!
Then all of a sudden came this strong
inspiration filled my soul and I felt compelled to
immediately go and search for the book "Fatima - In Lucia's Own Words"
- without a doubt, it was, The Holy Spirit! I
have a whole stack of spiritual books that I have collected and stashed away as I have not
gotten around to reading them all yet. Strange thing is, this is the
only book that I did not buy. It belonged to my in-laws although no one had read it,
as it was brand new, the pages tightly closed with no sign of it
ever having been opened. Somehow it
made its way from my in-laws (deceased) home to our home. I can remember
finding it several years ago amongst a stack of books which we had in storage.
I remember giving my spouse all the books that belonged to his
parents, except for this one. For some reason, which I was
not aware of at the time, I felt compelled to keep it
and store it with my own book collection. I searched every
sealed plastic box where my books were stored however, I could not seem
to find it. Then I started to panic thinking that I had
perhaps lost it, or given it away after all. I frantically
searched every single box again, until finally, there it was and
I breathed a sigh of relief! I just knew in my heart that Jesus
wanted me to read this book and my soul sensed that it would
bring me great
relief and comfort. However, I was so tired that day and for the next
several days, that I could not find the time, nor the energy to pick up the
book and read it.
The following excerpt from
"Lucia's own words" gave me great comfort, in that Lucia felt
the very same discouragement at times.
"I began then to have
doubts as to whether these manifestations might be from the
devil, who is seeking by these means to make me lose my soul.
As I heard people say that the devil always brings conflict and
disorder, I began to think that, truly, ever since I had started
seeing these things, our home was no longer the same, for joy
and peace had fled. What anguish I felt it! I made known
my doubts to my cousins.
"No it's not the devil"
replied Jacinta, "not at all! They say that the devil is
very ugly and that he's down under the ground in hell! But
that lady is so beautiful, and we saw her go up to heaven!
Our Lord made use of this
to allay somewhat the doubts I had. But during the course
of that month, I lost all enthusiasm for making sacrifices and
acts of mortification, and ended up hesitating as it to whether
it would be better to say that I had been lying, and so put an
end to the whole thing.
"Don'tdo that!"
exclaimed Jacinta and Francisco. "Don't you see that
now you're going to tell a lie, and to tell lies is a sin?"
"While in the state of
mind, I had a dream which only increased the darkness of my
spirit. I saw the devil laughing at having deceived me, as
he tried to drag me down to hell. On finding myself in his
clutches, I began to scream so loudly and call on our lady for
help that I awakened my mother. She called out to me in
alarm, and asked me what was the matter. I can't recall
what I told her, but I do remember that I was so paralyzed with
fear that I couldn't sleep anymore that night. This dream
left my soul clouded over with real fear and anguish. My
one relief was to go off by myself to some solitary place, there
to weep to my heart's content. Even the company of my
cousins began to seem burdensome, and for that reason, I began
to hide from them as well. The poor children! At
times they would search for me, calling out my name and
receiving no answer, but I was there all the while, hidden right
close to them even in some corner where they never thought of
looking." (Fatima In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 70-71)
"Alone in the midst of my
sheep, whether on the tops of the hills or in the depths of the
valleys below, I contemplated the beauty of the heavens and
thanked the good God for all the graces He had bestowed on me."
(Fatima In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 78)
The following excerpts
from "Lucia's own words" further comforted and reassured me that
I was doing the right thing by seriously and aggressively admonishing others,
when necessary no matter who they may be. Considering Jacinta, a little six year old girl
had the courage to admonish other children including adults,
boldly defending our Lord, she should be an example for us all!
Even Francisco, although reserved as he was, retreated
from others when he sensed "bad behaviour".
Jacinta
If in her presence a
child, or to even a grownup, were to say or do anything
unseemly, she would reprimand them, saying: "Don't do that, for
you are offending the Lord our God and He is already so much
offended!"
If, as sometimes happens,
the child or adult answered back, and calls her a "pious Mary"
or a plaster saint, or some other such thing, she would look at
them very seriously and walk away without a single word.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why she did not enjoy more
popularity.
She prayed the rosary with
them, and counselled them not to commit sin, and so avoid
offending the Lord our God and going to hell.
When people asked her
questions, she answered in a friendly manner, but briefly.
If they said anything which she thought improper, she promptly
replied: "Don't say that; it offends the Lord our God."
If they related something
unbecoming about their families, she answered: "Don't let your
children commit sin or they could go to hell."
If there were grownups
involved, she said: "Tell them not to do that, for it is a sin.
They offend the Lord our God, and later they could be damned."
(Fatima In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 184-186)
Our Lady pointed out to us
which kind of sins offend God the most. They say that
Jacinta, when in Lisbon, mentioned sins of the flesh. (Fatima
In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 111)
Francisco
He did not rebuke anybody.
All he did was to go aside, whenever he saw anything that was
not as it should be. If he was asked why he went away, he
answered:
"Because you are not
good", or "Because I don't want to play anymore."(Fatima In Lucia's Own Words, Pg 187)
The Age Of Reason
The following week my grandson came over
to my home to spend the day with me. I brought him to
mass with me in the morning. At the end of mass we went
together to the tabernacle.
I always see this as an opportunity
to bring our guardian angels to the tabernacle to enjoy the real presence of
Christ in the Holy Eucharist. According to Fr. Ripperger, our
guardian angels are with us 24/7 and therefore, being unable to
leave our side, only have the opportunity to experience the eucharistic
presence of Christ when we go to the tabernacle. We also
worshipped God by singing the chorus from the song
"Hallelujah Your Love Makes me Sing". Unfortunately, there was loud interference as
usual as a few council members made sure to turn on some loud recorded music when they saw us walking up to the tabernacle
together to see Jesus. I had hoped that they would
have turned off their music and stop talking out of respect
especially for Jesus, but this did not happen and the music and
the talking kept getting louder and louder. Rather than
confront and admonish them (as I have done many times before to
no avail), I decided it was best to just ignore them and sing
all the louder.
When we got back home, I took out some books to
read to my grandson, one of them being the children's book
"Our Lady of Fatima" by Fr. Lovasik S.V.D. as I definitely had the other book
"Fatima in Lucia's own words" in
the back of my mind, knowing that God wanted me to read it asap. This
32 page children's book was a good way of preparing myself to
read the 200 page book.
Before I began reading the book to my
grandson, he mentioned to me that his younger sister was being
mean to him. I've often told him when he misbehaved, that
he was at "the age of reason" and therefore he was capable of
understanding good from bad and that Jesus would only be happy
if he chose to be good. On the other hand, I told him that his
sister was not at the age of reason yet, so more was expected of
him and therefore he should be more tolerant of her. Before I began
to read the book, I told him that the three children Lucia, 9,
Francisco 8 and Jacinta 6 understood the difference between good
and evil (the age of reason being 7) and that is why the Virgin
Mary (The Will of God) showed them the visions of hell, the
place where sinners go. It is obvious that little Jacinta, being only 6 years old,
was spiritually well beyond her years, an "old soul" one could
say, as she was technically not at the age of reason.
In the following excerpt,
Lucia tells us about the vision of hell, Our Lady showed them.
From my experience I find that most adults would rather shelter
children from the reality of hell (and chastisement) for the
reason that it will frighten them. It is obvious from Lucia's
comments that I am on the same page as The Virgin Mary and God.
I believe it is of the
utmost importance to educate children
(from age 7) about the reality of the devil, hell, sin and
chastisement. It seems that some religious feel the same way.
However, from my experience I find most priests would rather
avoid the subject. I myself do not remember ever having a parish
priest that talked about the devil and hell, until I met Fr.
Josef (our previous polish priest).
Most priests preach only about
God's mercy and forgiveness which in my opinion (and others) is
not charity at all.What about His Justice?Remember, there is such a thing as the "sin
of omission" and that is exactly what they are doing when they
do not talk about the devil and hell, thus giving their
listeners only the partial truth. The listeners will then
believe that perhaps the devil and hell are a fairytale or are
of no cause for concern as long as you keep going to church and
receive the
sacraments of communion and confession (like a revolving door). This couldn't
be further than the truth! Hell is real folks! Lucia's, Francisco's
and Jacinta's testimonies prove this! St. Faustina also provided
us with testimony in her diary to prove this, which I have
emphasized many times!
Also, I believe it is of the utmost
importance to educate adults as well, including Christians about the reality of the devil, hell, sin and chastisement ASAP! It seems
that many priests including bishops would rather
avoid the subject for the sake of "not scaring people" and
"political correctness".
Approximately a month ago, I
chatted outside with two female parishioners outside the church after a
weekday morning mass. I expressed how upset I was about The
Divine Mercy Image (and that of St. Faustina and St. John Paul
II) in our church being removed/covered up with
other pictures.
I further expressed how important The Divine
Mercy Image and The Divine Mercy Prayer are as they were given
to the whole world by God (through St. Faustina) to counteract the grave sin of ab@rtion (Fr. Chris Alar). I brought up the subject of R@e v. Wade
and made the
comment, that the world would not be in this mess (under the
hold of the top five demons in hell under Satan, the end result
being ab@rtion (Fr. Ripperger).
I expressed my opinion , that this was directly responsible for the horrible
state our world is currently in now due to ab@rtion which is
most offensive to God.
These
women did not appear to be upset about any of what I had said at
all? In fact, one of the woman said something to the effect that
"each church has its own favourite images to display at the tabernacle." The other woman made the comment,
"You need to
test drive the car first!," referring to "premarital sex"
(fornication). I could not believe my ears, what I had just
heard! Needless to say I was both shocked and appalled at their
reactions! We just came from mass in a "Catholic Church" and
they are "Catholics." I reminded them that premarital sex is
demonic and a "mortal sin" that separates one
from God! This just goes to show that going to church does not
necessarily mean you are on the right path to heaven. Remember God gave us "The
Ten Commandments" for a reason and they are all inclusive and
not negotiable nor revisable, which many people fail to comprehend these days.
Human
Child 11-12 Weeks Preborn
While I am on this
subject, I will relay an experience I had when I was in grade 7
or 8, I can't recall exactly. I remember the girl students at
our school were
gathered in a large room and shown a film on ab@rtion. Although
I cannot recall the film, I vividly remember receiving a pamphlet
that included a photo of a "human garbage can." - a large
garbage can lined with a black garbage bag containing human fetuses,
how awful! I can also remember receiving a small plastic replica
of a human fetus stamped "11-12 weeks Preborn" on its back
(and very obviously a male).
Believe it or not, this plastic baby has somehow managed to
remain with me despite all my moves since that time and
currently sits in my desk drawer although I can't remember
exactly how it got there. However, I do not believe that this is just
a coincidence, but rather a Godincidence. (above photo)
As discussed in the
video clip of Fr. Chris Alar (Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC
teachings regarding ab@rtion) in
my previous entry on May 8, 2022 (Mother's Day):
"The devil hates God's Mercy because more
than anything else it brought about the creation of man, the
crown of creation, made in God's own image and likeness, sharing
in His Divine Life."The Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayer was revealed
by Jesus Christ to St. Faustina (and the whole world) to
counteract the acts (especially ab@rtion) that goes against His
creation and the punishment (chastisement) that comes from it as
a result. Divine Mercy In My Soul , St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
(See Diary 1276, 39)
In this video, Fr. Alar (Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC)
also explains the biblical history of "child
sacrifice"(ab@rtion) and its consequence of chastisement. In
fact, suicide, euthanasia, ivf, etc are all linked to Satan's hatred
of Christ. Considering Satan can no longer harm Christ, He wants
to destroy us who are made in His Image and Likeness.
Egypt Jericho, and Jerusalem
In Egypt: The Pharaoh ordered
the killing of young boys by throwing them into the Nile River.
Their blood began to call out to God for retribution and when
God's judgement came over Egypt, one of the first things to feel
God's wrath was the Nile where these children were put to death,
the life source of all Egypt. God turned the waters of the river
into blood.
God declares: "For those who have shed
the blood of the innocent and the righteous, they will have
blood to drink." (Revelation 16:6)
Jericho: Why did God knock down
and bring down the walls. The answer is, when they found the
ruins of this city when they were excavating, archaelogists
discovered a jar within the walls containing the bones of an
infant. It was learned that the inhabitants of Jericho were
members of a religious cult that practised ritual offerings of
children to an idol god. After the child had been sacrificed its
body was placed into a jar where it was sealed into the city's
wall for good luck. God's judgement upon Jericho had to include
bringing down those walls because the innocent blood of children
cried out from within the walls. The entire city was then purged
with fire.
Jerusalem: Oh Jerusalem,
Jerusalem. In ancient times there was a large idol that sat in
the valley of Hinnom called Moloch that was half bull half man.
An opening was cut into the belly so that fires could be kindled
inside it. As part of the ritual cult, parents would offer their
children to Moloch. This was called passing your children
through the fire. Even though it was forbidden by Moses they
still did it. As strange as it would seem, the wisest of all men in the whole world, Solomon, even he broke the command and
allowed his children to be offered to Moloch. Four hundred years
later the Babylonians surrounded the city and destroyed it.,
including that wonder of the world, Solomon's temple. He used
fire to destroy the children (Moloch) and so when God allowed
judgement to come upon the city, Jerusalem itself was engulfed
in flames and the temple was burned to the ground.
We may have seen this almost happen in
modern day Poland
(See Diary 1276, 39)
"September 16, 1937. I wanted
very much to make a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament
today, but God's will was otherwise. At eight o'clock I was
seized with such violent pains that I had to go to bed at once.
I was convulsed with pain for three hours; that is, until eleven
o'clock at night. No medicine had any effect on me, and whatever
I swallowed I threw up. At times, the pains caused me to lose
consciousness. Jesus had me realize that in this way I took
part in His Agony in the Garden, and that He himself allowed
these sufferings in order to offer reparation to God for the
souls murdered in the wombs of wicked mothers. I have gone
through these sufferings three times now. They always start at
eight o'clock in the evening and last until eleven. No medicine
can lessen these sufferings. When eleven o'clock comes, they
cease by themselves, and I fall asleep at that moment. The
following day, I feel very weak.
This happened to me for the first time when I was at the
sanatorium. The doctors couldn't get to the bottom of it, and no
injection or medicine helped me at all nor did I myself have any
idea of what the sufferings were about. I told the doctor that
never before in my life had I experienced such sufferings, and
he declared he did not know what sort of pains they are. But now
I understand the nature of these pains, because the Lord himself
has made this known to me.... Yet when I think that I may
perhaps suffer in this way again, I tremble. But I don't know
whether I'll ever again suffer in this way; I leave that to God.
What it pleases God to send, I will accept with submission and
love. If only I could save even one soul from murder by means
of these sufferings!" (Diary,1276)
"One day Jesus told me
that He would cause a chastisement to fall upon the most
beautiful city in our country [probably Warsaw]. This
chastisement would be that with which God had punished Sodom and
Gomorrah. I saw the great wrath of God and a shudder pierced
my heart. I prayed in silence. After a moment, Jesus said to me,
My child, unite yourself closely to Me during the Sacrifice and
offer My Blood and My Wounds to My Father in expiation for the
sins of that city. Repeat this without interruption throughout
the entire Holy Mass. Do this for seven days. On the seventh day
I saw Jesus in a bright cloud and began to beg Him to look upon
the city and upon our whole country. Jesus looked [down]
graciously. When I saw the kindness of Jesus, I began to beg His
blessing. Immediately Jesus said, For your sake I bless the
entire country. And He made a big sign of the cross over our
country. Seeing the goodness of God, a great joy filled my
soul." (Diary
39)
"She wrote in her diary that Jesus Himself
said, He was about to destroy one of the most beautiful cities
of Poland like Sodom and Gomorrah on account of the crimes committed
there. Now having read these things in her diary, I asked her
what this prophecy meant, what was the sin?She answered
confirming the things she wrote and responded on account of what
sins God would inflict these punishments, she replied especially
" on account of the massacre of infants not yet born, as the
most grevious crime of all." (Blessed Michael Sopotchko
gave sworn testimony during St. Faustina's beautification process.)
The city of
Warsaw in Poland was found out that it was later found out was
the prominent centre of providing ab@rtions in eastern europe
and ab@rtions were usually done between 8 and 11 pm when St. Faustina had those pains, so the chaplet was given for this.
In September of 1935 St. Faustina wrote,
"In the evening, when I was in my cell, I
saw an Angel, the Executor of God's wrath. He was clothed in a
bright garment; his face was radiant; a cloud under his feet;
out of the cloud came thunderbolts and flashes of lightning into
his hands, and from his hand they went forth and only then
struck the earth. When I caught sight of this sign of God's
anger that was about to strike the earth, especially a certain
place, which I cannot name for legitimate reasons, I began to
beg the Angel to hold back a few moments, and the world will do
penance. But my plea was nothing in the face of God's anger.
Just then I beheld the Most Holy Trinity. The greatness of His
Majesty cut me to the heart and I didn't dare repeat my
entreaty. At that same instant I felt in my soul the power of
Jesus' grace that abides in my soul. When I became aware of this
grace, in that same instant I was carried away before God's
throne. Oh, how great is our Lord and God and inconceivable is
His holiness! I shall not attempt to describe that greatness,
for before long we shall all see Him as He is. I began to
earnestly beg God for the world with words [which I] heard
interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I saw the angel's
helplessness and he could not carry out the just punishment that
was deserved for sins. With such inner power I have never yet
prayed as then. (Diary 474)
The words, with which I was earnestly
begging God, are the following: 'Eternal
Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of
Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for our sins and
the whole world's; for the sake of his sorrowful Passion have
mercy on us.' (Diary 475)
"The following day in the morning, when I
entered our chapel, I heard these words interiorly: 'As often as
you enter the chapel - immediately recite this prayer, which I
taught you yesterday.'When I recited this prayer, I
heard in [my] soul these words: 'This prayer is for the
mitigating of my anger. You will recite it for nine days on the
ordinary part of the rosary in the following manner: first of
all you will say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and I believe in
God. Next, on the "Our Father" beads, you will say the following
words: "Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and
Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in
atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." On the
"Hail Mary" beads you will recite the following words: "For the
sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole
world." As a conclusion you will recite thrice these words:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One - have mercy on us
and on the whole world."(Diary 476)
Our Lady of Fatima -
The Virgin Mary Gives Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta A Vision of Hell
"Our lady showed us a
great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth.
Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like
transparent burning embers, all black and or burnished bronze,
floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by
the flames that issued from within themselves together with
great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like
sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid
shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and
made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished by
their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown
animals all black and transparent. This vision lasted but
an instant. How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind
heavenly Mother, who had already prepared as by promising, in
the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise I
think we would have died of fear and terror.
We then looked up at Our
Lady, who said to us so kindly and so sadly: "You have seen
where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God
wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate
Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be
saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if
people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out
during the pontificate of Pius XII. When you see a night
illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign
given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its
crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the church
and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for
the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the
Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my
requests are headed, Russia will be converted, and there will be
peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world,
causing wars and persecutions of the church. The good will
be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various
nations will be and annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart
will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me
and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted
to the world."
Some people, even the most
devout, refuse to speak to children about hell, in case it would
frighten them. Yet God did not hesitate to show hell to
three children, one of whom was only six years old, knowing well
that they would be horrified to the point of, I would almost
dare to say, withering away with fear.
Jacinta often sat
thoughtfully on the ground or on a rock, and exclaimed: "Oh,
Hell Hell How sorry I am for the souls who go to hell! And
the people down there, burning alive, like wood in the fire!"
Then, she knelt down with her hands joined, and recited
the prayer that our lady had taught us:" O my Jesus!
Forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls
to heaven, especially those who are most in need." (Fatima
In Lucia's Own Words, Pg. 108-109)
St. Agnes (St. Agnes of Rome)The Martyr
(d. 305) Feast Day:
January 21 Patron Saint: of Young Girls, Chastity, Rape
Survivors and The Children of Mary
"Women have never been at
this low amp (degraded) in the history of the world.
Women today are considered tools of pleasure, that's all." -
Mother Angelica
"He (Rev. Dr. Formigao,
Lucia's First Spiritual Director) showed me a holy picture of
St. Agnes, told
me about her martyrdom and encouraged me to imitate her.
"My child you must love
Our Lord very much in return for so many favours and graces that
He is granting you."
These words made such an
impression on my soul that, from then on, I acquired the habit
of constantly saying to Our Lord: "My God, I love You, in
thanksgiving for the graces which You have granted me."
(Fatima In Lucia's Own
Words, Pg 76)
St. Agnes
Is A Role Model For All Women's Power In Christ To Define
Their Own Identities - Free Women
"Agnes chose Christ as her
spouse and refused to worship the gods of the Roman culture. Her
name is mentioned in the Roman Canon (First Eucharistic Prayer)
of the Mass – an indicator of veneration at an early date. She
is often depicted in art with a lamb (Latin agnus). The name
Agnes is actually derived from the feminine Greek adjective
“hagnē” (‘Aγνή) meaning “chaste, pure, sacred”. In Latin, it is
associated with agnus, the word for “lamb”.
Although sometimes in
the past virginity has been idealised and exalted to the
lessening of the sanctity of married women, the following
comment of Robert Ellsberg, in his book Blessed among all women:
women saints prophets and witnesses for our time, is worth
noting:
"In the story of
Agnes the opposition is not between sex and virginity. The
conflict is between a young woman’s power in Christ to
define her own identity versus a patriarchal culture’s claim
to identify her in terms of her sexuality. According
to the view shared by her “suitors” and the state, if she
would not be one man’s wife, she might as well be every
man’s whore. Failing these options, she might as well be
dead. Agnes did not choose death. She chose not to worship
the gods of her culture.
The God she
worshipped set an altogether different value on her body,
her identity, and her human worth. Espoused to Christ, she
was beyond the power of any man to ‘have his way with her’.
‘Virgin’ in this case is another way of saying Free Woman."
"I am the light of the
world; anyone who follows Me will not be walking in the dark,
but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
"On these grounds is
sentence pronounced: that though the light has come into the
world men have shown they prefer darkness to the light because
their deeds were evil. And indeed, everybody who does wrong
hates the light and avoids it, for fear his actions should be
exposed; but the man who lives by the truth comes out into the
light, so that it may be plainly seen that what he does is done
in God." (John 3:19-21)
Humanity
Is Lost Without The Gospel
"For I am not ashamed of
the gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone
who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek. For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to
faith;* as it is written, “The one who is righteous by faith
will live.” (Romans 1:16-17)
Punishment of Idolaters - Darkened
Minds - Impurity - Degradation Of The Human Body
18"The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven
against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the
truth by their wickedness.
19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because
God made it evident to them.
20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible
attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be
understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result,
they have no excuse;
21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as
God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their
reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness
of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals
or of snakes.
24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts
of their hearts* for the mutual degradation of their bodies.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and
worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their
females exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females
and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things
with males and thus received in their own persons the due
penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed
them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper.
29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed,
and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite.
They are gossips
30 and scandalmongers and they hate God. They are insolent,
haughty, boastful, ingenious in their wickedness, and rebellious
toward their parents.
31They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Although they know the just decree of God that all who
practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but
give approval to those who practice them."(Romans 1:18-32)
The True
Disciple
21 ‘It is not those who say
to me, “Lord, Lord”, who will enter the kingdom of heaven, but
the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
22 When the day comes many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, work
many miracles in your name?”
23 Then I shall tell them to their faces: I have never known
you; away from me, you evil men!’
24 ‘Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and
acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on
rock.
25 Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves
against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock.
26 But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not
act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on
sand.
27 Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that
house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’ (Matthew 7:21-27)
The
Golden Rule
12 ‘So always treat others as you would like them to treat you;
that is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.
The two ways
13 ‘Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to
perdition is wide and spacious, and many take it;
14 but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life,
and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:12-14)
**NEW** August 29/2022 - "Jesus,The Name Above All Names"
"The Healer"
Today
I went to visit a family member who recently had a baby.
Approximately a week after the baby was born, she had suddenly developed a very
serious eye infection whereby her eyes were emitting pus to the
point where her eyes were unable to open. Neither of us had ever
experienced something so strange that appeared out of the blue
without any possible explanation. Despite being brought to a
clinic and treated with eye medication, the condition continued
and did not appear to be getting much better from what we could
tell. As I was holding the baby, watching the pus return despite
wiping it away, I became very worried. Therefore I went into my
purse and took out my miniature holy water bottle that I always
carry around with me. This holy water bottle is embossed with
the image of "The Sacred Heart of Jesus" and contains holy
water that had been blessed by my previous polish priest.
I then proceeded to bless the baby with the holy water and asked
Jesus to please heal the poor child's eyes. Then I looked at the
clock to check what time it was as I wanted to get back home
before the rush hour traffic started. It was 3:00 pm ("The
3 o'clock hour") so I decided to leave. Considering I pray
"The Divine Mercy Prayer" daily at this time, I prayed as I drove
home.
In the evening the baby's mother informed me
that blood started coming out of the baby's eyes in addition to
the pus. Despite the fact that there was still two more
days of the eye medication treatment left, the baby's mother became
terrified at the sight and rushed her to the emergency
department at the hospital. The doctor in emergency examined the
newborn baby's pussy and bloody eyes and was baffled by what he
saw. Therefore he immediately contacted The Hospital for Sick
Children Toronto for direction with regards to treatment advice.
Then he proceeded to flush the baby's eyes with saline solution
and prescribed some new eye medication as advised.
Surprisingly this treatment was successful and the condition
cleared up by the next day!
The mother further informed me that while she
was waiting in the emergency waiting room with the baby to see
the doctor about her eyes, she looked down on the floor and
found a business card at her feet with a single word on it,
"JESUS". When I heard that, I immediately knew that The Merciful
Jesus had heard and answered my prayer earlier that day!
And, He left His "calling card"! Thank you Jesus!
A few days later when I next saw the baby,
her eyes were clear, bright and wide open curiously observing
her environment. She was clearly relieved and happy to be able
to see the world again!
"Make your own the mind
of Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, did not count
equality with God something to be grasped. But he emptied
himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings
are; and being in every way like a human being, he was humbler
yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross. And for this God
raised him high, and gave him the name which is above all other
names; so that all beings in the heavens, on earth and in the
underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus and that
every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the
glory of God the Father."(Phillipians 2:5-11)

Holy Trinity and Our Lady of Fatima at Tuy, Spain, June 13, 1929
"Grace And Mercy" "The Immaculate Heart of Mary"
(left image)
Early this morning after I
awoke and finished praying the rosary, I started thinking about
some mystical experiences I have had late this summer and fall,
basically signs in nature that offer reassurance of God's
constant presence and love in our lives here on earth. I have
been debating for some time as to whether I should share them or
not. Then this morning, I felt inspired by the Holy
Spirit to write about them. As I have mentioned, I pray the
Divine Mercy Chaplet at the 3 o'clock hour daily. My favourite
spot to pray and contemplate God is outdoors on the patio as
that is where I feel God's presence is undeniable in the
abundant nature all around! Here is where I have had several
mystical experiences.
Before beginning to write, I
began to search for some images that I could use for this entry.
The very first image that caught my eye was the one shown above
left, "The Vision of the Most
Holy Trinity and Our Lady of Fatima at Tuy, Spain."This was the first time I have ever
set my eyes on this particular image inscribed with the words
"Grace and Mercy". Naturally I was sotaken by this
image that I could not help but to do some research on it
immediately! Afterwards, I quickly made the connection between
this image (left image) and The Divine Mercy Image (right image), The Merciful Jesus
revelation to St. Faustina,
February 22, 1931, whereby Jesus instructed her to paint His
image).
As you will notice in the "Tuy,
Spain" image, Mary is shown holding The Rosary and
standing under the right arm of the cross (The Holy
Trinity). Also notice the writing on the left side of the cross,
"Grace and Mercy." Jesus is the new Adam, Mary is the new Eve, The Ark of
The New Covenant. It is important to note that while I
later recalled having seen another similar image which appears to be a variation of this
"Tuy, Spain" (left) image perhaps, it is severely lacking and
inaccurate in comparison. It is this one that
accurately represents St. Lucia of Fatima's vision as
described in her own words that I have quoted below as described
in Volume II of Frère Michel’s book, The Whole Truth About
Fatima.
"And the angel answering,
said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power
of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the
Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of
God." (Luke 1:35)
'Once after
Holy Communion, I heard these words: "You are our dwelling
place." At that moment I felt in my soul the presence of the
Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I felt
that I was the Temple of God. I felt that I was a child of the
Father. I cannot explain all this, but the Spirit understands it
well. Oh Infinite Goodness, how low You stoop to Your miserable
creature!' (St. Faustina, Diary 451)
"I knew more
distinctly than ever before the Three Divine Persons, the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But their being, their
equality, and their majesty are one. My soul is in communion
with these Three; but I do not know how to express this in
words; yet my soul understands this well. Whoever is united to
One of the Three Persons is thereby united to the whole Blessed
Trinity, for this Oneness is indivisible." (St. Faustina, Diary
472)
On June 13, 1929, while still a Dorothean Sister, Sister Lucy dos Dores — little Lucia of Fatima
— received, at her convent in Tuy, Spain, a revelation of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, which was, as well, a revelation of
the Blessed Trinity.
It was at this time, at the most solemn
apparition of the whole series of Fatima apparitions, that Our
Lady said to Sister Lucy:
“The moment has come in which God
asks the Holy Father to make, and to order that in union with
him and at the same time, all the bishops of the world make the
consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to
convert it because of this day of prayer and worldwide
reparation.”
Here is Sister Lucy’s own account of it:
“The Reverend Father Gonçalves sometimes came to our chapel to
hear confessions. I made my confession to him, and as I felt at
ease with him, I continued to do so during the three years he
remained there as superior.
“At this time Our Lord informed me that the moment had come when
He willed for me to make known to the Holy Church His desire for
the consecration of Russia and His promise to convert it… The
communication took place in this way:
“I had requested and obtained permission from my superiors and
confessor to make the Holy Hour from 11:00 until midnight from
Thursday to Friday.
“Being alone one night, I knelt down before the communion rail
in the middle of the chapel to say the prayers of the Angel,
lying prostrate. Feeling tired, I got up and knelt, and
continued to say them with my arms in the form of a cross. The
only light came from the sanctuary lamp.
“Suddenly a supernatural light illumined
the whole chapel and on the altar appeared a cross of light
which reached to the ceiling.
“In a brighter part could be seen, on the upper part of the
Cross, the face of a man and His body to the waist;
“On His breast was an equally luminous dove,
“And nailed to the cross, the body of another man.
“A little below the waist, suspended in mid-air, was to be seen
a Chalice and a large Host onto which fell some drops of Blood
from the face of the Crucified and from a wound in His breast.
These drops ran down over the Host and fell into the Chalice.
“Under the right arm of the Cross was Our Lady with Her
Immaculate Heart in Her hand… (It was Our Lady of Fatima with
Her Immaculate Heart… in Her left hand… without a sword or
roses, but with a crown of thorns and flames…).
“Under the left arm (of the Cross), some big letters, as it were
of crystal clear water running down over the Altar, formed these
words: “Grace and Mercy.”
“I understood that it was the mystery of
the Most Holy Trinity that was shown to me, and I received
lights about this mystery which I am not permitted to reveal.”
“Then Our Lady said to me: ‘The moment has come when God asks
the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the
world, the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart,
promising to save it by this means.’
“‘So numerous are the souls which the justice of God condemns
for sins committed against Me, that I come to ask for
reparation. Sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.’
“I gave an account of this to my confessor, who ordered me to
write what Our Lord willed to be done.”
(Volume II of Frère Michel’s The Whole Truth About Fatima, pages 461-555)
Noah's Ark - God's
Covenant With Man and All Living Creatures
Humming Bird, Chickadee,
Canada Geese, Seagulls!
I remember praying on one
occasion and a humming bird suddenly came out of nowhere and
hovered for several seconds, approximately two feet, directly in
front of my face! I took great delight in watching this!
On another occasion I
remember a chickadee bird landed on a patio chair directly
beside me
and
sat there observing me for several
seconds. I was instantly filled with joy!
If you may recall my seagull
experiences in my previous writings, I have recently had similar
experiences with seagulls. On two days I once again experienced
a swarm of seagulls circling over and around my house. Also,
I often see just a single seagull flying by when I look out of a
window in my home, peaking outside of my doors, or when I am on
the patio praying.I have come to believe that the
"single seagull" symbolized the "Oneness" of The Holy Trinity.
God's presence is ever so strong, when I see and delight in the
seagull with its soulful cry!
On one occasion, I can
remember telling God, that I wished I was able to see the Canada
geese close up as they fly by. In the fall there are many flocks
of these geese flying overhead daily, however, they are flying
so high that it is impossible to get a good view of them - you
can only hear their loud distinctive honking which reminds me of
a traffic jam, so funny! Then one day, what a surprise I had! A
small flock of Canada geese flew over my patio at a shockingly
low elevation, just skimming the roof of my house just over the
patio, such that I could finally see them up close in
their flight! It was such an amazing sight - their bodies and
wings stretched out, the intensity of their eyes and their beaks
opening and closing, honking loudly as they flew by! Nature,
especially animals are my passion and therefore to me, it was
like getting a "bouquet of geese".Thank you Jesus!
Two Double Rainbows!
(October 18 and November 9, 2022)
On two days, I along with
another family member saw "double" rainbows shortly after
the 3 o'clock hour when we went outside on the patio. They were
absolutely amazing and the sunlight shone brightly all around
them enveloping our house! On the first day, we also saw a huge
swarm of seagulls flying in a huge cluster (ball) in the sky
next to the double rainbow, literally hundreds of them, circling
so close together that they looked like a swarm of bugs rather
than birds! God's presence was undeniable and my soul rejoiced
in The Lord!
"God spoke as follows to
Noah and his sons, 'I am now establishing my covenant with you
and with your descendants to come, and with every living
creature that was with you: birds, cattle and every wild animal
with you; everything that came out of the ark, every living
thing on earth. And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that
never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters
of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate
the earth.' 'And this', God said, 'is the sign of the
covenant which I now make between myself and you and every
living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set
my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant
between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the
earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall
the covenant between myself and you and every living creature,
in a word all living things, and never again will the waters
become a flood to destroy all living things."" When the bow is
in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal
covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that
is, all living things.' 'That', God told Noah, 'is the
sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all
living things on earth.'"(Genesis 9:8-17)
Jesus On
The Cross - The Sign Of God's New Covenant
"The great flood is a testament to God’s
hatred of sin and his determination to wipe it from the face of
the earth.The first flood swept away the evil from the surface
of the earth, but not from the hearts of the ark’s passengers.So
an even greater act of salvation was needed, one that was more
radical, that penetrated to the very “root” of evil. God himself
would enter into our world in the form of a man, and engage in
hand to hand combat with the father of lies.On the cross, the
sign of this New Covenant, Jesus decisively vanquished sin and
its patron, letting loose from his own pierced side a stream
that was more powerful than the ancient waters of Noah and
Moses.Through faith and immersion in this mighty water of
baptism, sin can finally be scoured not just from the skin but
from the heart. Baptism puts to death not men, but the old
humanity, separated from God and infected with the disease of
disobedience.The New Covenant is the promise that God makes with
mankind that He will forgive sin and restore communion with
those whose hearts believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is
the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is
the basis of the promise." (Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Dr.
Italy, Catholic Speaker)
“I am Thrice Holy, and I detest the
smallest sin. I cannot love a soul which is stained with sin;
but when it repents, there is no limit to My generosity toward
it. My mercy embraces and justifies it. With My mercy, I pursue
sinners along all their paths, and My Heart rejoices when they
return to Me. I forget the bitterness with which they fed My
Heart and rejoice at their return.” (Jesus to St. Faustina,
Diary 1728)
"Thus says Yahweh:
With heaven my throne and earth my footstool, what house could
you build me, what place for me to rest, when all these things
were made by me and all belong to me? - declares Yahweh. But my
eyes are drawn to the person of humbled and contrite spirit, who
trembles at my word." (Isaiah 66:1-2)

During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus nailed
upon the cross amidst great torments. A soft moan issued from
His Heart. After some time, He said:
“I thirst. I
thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter, to save
souls.” (Diary,
1032)
“Come to Me,
all of you.” (Diary, 1485)
“The loss of
each soul plunges Me into mortal sadness.”(Diary, 1397)
8 Guidelines Drawn
From The Secret of the Rosary, St. Louis de Montfort:
Begin with purity of intention. You
should be in a state of grace or at least trying to come into
that state. Otherwise, Jesus might say, “This people honors me
with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me (Mark 7:6).
“Say the Rosary to persevere in righteousness and so that you
may rise from your sins,” as St. Louis reminds us (p.136). It’s
not that God can’t hear us; it is that we can’t hear Him if we
have earplugs in our ears.Mortal sin can close your ears
to the voice of grace.
Be attentive to what you are saying. You should try to get rid
of distractions that are within your control; there are,
however, distractions that are beyond your control, like your
imagination, noises, young children, etc. He just suggests that
you create the time and space necessary for speaking to God
heart to Heart. Once you find the inner room within your heart,
know that you can pray at any time since He will be anywhere you
go (p. 137). Strive to persevere despite distractions, dryness, or the
distaste for prayer. This is where the spiritual battle comes
in. Realize that the battle against evil begins in the human
heart. We begin to overcome evil if we can learn to fight the
battles that come to us in prayer (pp.139-142).
Invoke the help of the Trinity and the Woman He created to be
our mother. Ask the Holy Spirit for His help in praying, put
yourself in God’s presence, meditate on the Life Moment of Jesus
you’ve chosen before saying anything, and ask for Mary’s
intercession to see at least one virtue clearly in the Mystery
that you have chosen (pp. 142-144).
Reverence and humility will always be necessary to honor the
Lord. The Rosary should be done with reverence, if possible,
kneeling (pp. 147- 148).
It is very helpful to pray the Rosary with others because the
weak are helped by the strong, the lukewarm are energized by the
fervent, the overanxious can be helped by the calm and
methodical, the distracted can be helped with the focused, the
sick are aided by the well, the young are helped by the
experienced, etc…. However, the Rosary is always attended by Our
Lady, the Trinity, and the Holy Ones, so you are never alone
when you pray (pp. 149-153).
Realize the graces that come from praying the Rosary. When done
everyday, it strengthens perseverance, faith, hope, and love. It
will also help you practice humility, thanksgiving, confidence,
and trust in our Lord (pp.154-161).
Resolve to continue praying no matter what because our Church,
our families, our neighbors, our friends, the lost and
forsaken–the Mystical Body!–needs you (pp.161-167).
