First Friday devotion

 FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION ❤️AND SAINT MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE 🙏❤️

“Announce it and let it be announced

to the whole world,

that I set neither limit, nor measure,

to My gifts of grace,

for those who seek them

in My Heart.”

The words of the Our Lord Jesus Christ

to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

In May 25, 1671, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque entered the monastery of the Salesians in Paray-le-Monial. She professed her vows in the Order of the Visitation of Our Lady on November 6, 1672. Margaret Mary was soon to be recognized by her love for Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

In the years 1673-1674, she had visions of Christ who showed to her his compassionate and bleeding heart, bottomless abyss of love for men: this will be the foundation of the Catholic devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Margarita understood that private revelation she received is a Divine will which she couldn’t just keep it for herself. She told her Superior about it and to the competent Church authorities, who thought it so strange that sent it to be examined by some experts. The result: she was treated as a “visionary. From this moment onwards, part of her daily cross was to obey and remain at their disposal. Nevertheless, Father Claude de la Colombiere, superior of the Jesuits believed and encouraged her when she opened her soul to him in a retreat he preached to the Visitation nuns.

Margarita is a nun in whom one can trust: a nun who was always sick, very shy, timid but dependable for any work entrusted to her. She was a nurse, a teacher of the students of distinguished families living at the school, head of the novices, and among those considered to be the superior.

During the octave of Corpus Christi of 1675, she witnessed the apparition of the Sacred Heart of Jesus who told:

“BEHOLD THE HEART WHICH HAS SO LOVED MEN THAT IT HAS SPARED NOTHING, EVEN TO EXHAUSTING AND CONSUMING ITSELF, IN ORDER TO TESTIFY ITS LOVE; AND IN RETURN, I RECEIVE FROM THE GREATER PART ONLY INGRATITUDE, BY THEIR IRREVERENCE AND SACRILEGE, AND BY THE COLDNESS AND CONTEMPT THEY HAVE FOR ME IN THIS SACRAMENT OF LOVE. BUT WHAT I FEEL MOST KEENLY IS THAT IT IS HEARTS WHICH ARE CONSECRATED TO ME, THAT TREAT ME THUS.

THEREFORE, I ASK OF YOU THAT THE FRIDAY AFTER THE OCTAVE OF CORPUS CHRISTI BE SET APART FOR A SPECIAL FEAST TO HONOR MY HEART, BY COMMUNICATING ON THAT DAY, AND MAKING REPARATION TO IT BY A SOLEMN ACT, IN ORDER TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE INDIGNITIES WHICH IT HAS RECEIVED DURING THE TIME IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED ON THE ALTARS.

I PROMISE YOU THAT MY HEART SHALL EXPAND ITSELF TO SHED IN ABUNDANCE THE INFLUENCE OF ITS DIVINE LOVE UPON THOSE WHO SHALL THUS HONOR IT, AND CAUSE IT TO BE HONORED. “

After experience, Margaret Mary did all she could in promoting the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with all the means at her disposal: by letter, person conversations, communicating favors, distributing small prayer cards, writing to the chaplain of King Louis XIV to ask him to consecrate himself, his family and the palace to the Sacred Heart. She tried to get the approval to celebrate the Mass of the Sacred Heart. She spread God’s Will in a special way to the nuns and priests. The devotion began in of Paray-le-Monial  and from there to the Salesian communities in Dijon, Moulins, Saumur; then, Lyon and Marseille; then to Europe and America. The result of this activity is an explosion of fervor and a desire to seek holiness. She did not succeed, nevertheless, without bitter difficulties and obstacles from those who were influenced by Jansenism and by those who considered unnecessary a new practice of piety.

The devotion to the Heart of Jesus propagated by Margaret is not a surge of sentiments nor is founded on feelings which are at the same time sugary and fleeting. She understood that the love for Jesus Christ suffering in the Garden has to be expressed by atonement and reparation for the offenses committed all the time. It is to participate in the pain, anguish, loneliness and abandonment that Jesus suffered for the sins of mankind. This is carried out with desires of fidelity and of personal purification, in continuous search of the Eucharist to accompany Our Lord, in a living desire  of communion, and in the need to live dying unto oneself for God’s glory and for the salvation of mankind,  thus, counteracting the destructive work of sin. For this reason, the devotion’s message to the Christian world consists in simple and strong practices impregnated with firm faith, and at the reach of anyone: Mass, frequent Communions, visits, prayer and holy hours.

Margaret Mary died on October 17, 1690.

Pope Benedict XV canonized her on 13 May 1920. In the Bull of canonization an explicit mention of the promise of final perseverance to  those who communicate on the First Friday of nine consecutive months was made.

St Gertrude

 St. Gertrude And The Poor Souls 

St. Gertrude entertained a deep compassion for the souls in purgatory. At Holy Communion she besought our loving Savior with tender, fervent petitions, to be merciful to these dear sufferers. Once, before Communion, as she reflected with heartfelt pity on the sufferings of the holy souls, it seemed to her that she descended with Our Lord into the depths of purgatory. There she heard Jesus say: "At Holy Communion I will permit thee to draw forth all to whom the fragrance of thy prayers penetrates."  After Holy Communion Our Lord often delivered more souls than she dared to ask for. Once Gertrude prayed with particular fervor for the faithful departed, on asking Our Lord how many souls His mercy would deliver, she received this reply: "My love urges Me to release the poor souls. If a beneficent king leaves his guilty friend in prison for justice's sake, he awaits with longing for one of his nobles to plead for the prisoner and to offer something for his release. Then the king joyfully, sets him free. Similarly, I accept with highest pleasure what is offered to Me for the poor souls, for I long inexpressibly to have near Me those for whom I paid so great a price. By the prayers of thy loving soul, I am induced to free a prisoner from purgatory as often as thou dost move thy tongue to utter a word of prayer !"  Our Saviour also instructed Gertrude for whom she should pray most. On the day when the community commemorated in common the death of their parents, our saint saw the happy souls ascend from dense darkness like sparks from a flaming forge. She inquired if all these were relatives. Our Lord replied: "I am thy nearest relative, thy father and thy mother. Therefore, My special friends are thy nearest relatives, and these are among those whom I have liberated."

The weight of one mass

 This is one beautiful story you must read. 

The Weight of One Holy Mass

"The following true story was related to Sister  Mary Veronica Murphy by an elderly Nun, who heard it from the lips of the late Reverend Father Stanislaus, SS.CC.

...One day, many years ago, in a little town in Luxembourg, a Captain of

 the Forest Guards was in deep conversation with the butcher, when an elderly woman entered the shop. The butcher broke off the conversation to ask the old woman what she wanted. 

 

She had come to beg for a little meat but had no money. The Captain was amused at the conversation which ensued between the poor woman and the butcher.

 "Only a little meat . . ."

 "But how much are you going to give me?"

 "I am sorry I have no money, but I'll hear Mass for you."

 Both the butcher and the Captain were very good men, but very indifferent about religion, so they at once began to scoff at the old woman's answer.

"All right, then," said the butcher. "You go out and hear Mass for me, and when you come back, I'll give you as much meat as the Mass is worth."

 The woman left the shop and returned later. She approached the counter and the butcher seeing her, said, "All right, then, we'll see,"

 He took a slip of paper and wrote on it, "I heard a Mass for you." 

He then placed the paper on the scale and a tiney bone on the other side, but the paper was showing as being heavier than the bone... Next he placed a piece of meat instead of the bone, but still the paper proved heavier.

 Both men were beginning to feel ashamed of their mockery but continued their game. A large piece of meat was placed on the scales but still the little piece paper held its own. 

The butcher, exasperated, examined the scales, but found they were all right.

"What do you want, my good woman? Must I give you a whole leg of mutton?"

At this, he placed the leg of mutton on the balance, but the paper outweighed the meat. A larger piece of meat was put on, but again the

weight remained on the side of the paper. 

This so impressed the butcher that he was converted, and promised to give the woman her daily ration of meat.

 As for the Captain, he left the shop a changed man, an ardent lover

of daily Holy Mass. Two of his sons became Priests, one a Jesuit and the other a Father of the Sacred Heart.

 Father Stanislaus finished by saying,  "I am

the religious of the Sacred Heart, and the Captain was my father."

 From that incident the Captain became a daily Mass goer and his children were trained to follow his example. Later, when his sons became Priests,he advised them to offer Holy Mass well every day and never miss the Sacrifice through any fault of no fault of their own.

⚜ LET US ALL BE CONSCIOUS OF 

      THE LAST DAYS.

St Anthony

 ST. ANTHONY- FATHER OF MONASTIC LIFE.

Anthony was around 22 years when his parents died. He was entrusted with the care of his younger sister and the house. It was at this time that he made the decision that would change the course of his life. He distributed the inheritance left by his parents and sold his possessions. Part of the sum received went to the poor and the rest was set aside for his sister. After renouncing the world he moved forward, in his ascetic life: renunciations, sacrifices and prayers filled his day, in addition to the time he dedicated to manual work, making mats. In the meantime, great struggles still awaited him  along the path of penance he had embraced. 

The angel of darkness, seeing his virtuous practices, began to tempt him in an ever more explicit way. In order to lead him to abandon his solitary life, he reminded him of the goods he had left behind, of the care of his sister and the pleasures of the world. He showed him the difficulties entailed in the practice of virtue, the weakness of the body and the frequent adversities which man must face because of his evil tendencies, the fruit of original sin. He resisted these assaults with the help of grace, through prayer. He also suffered countless temptations, against the angelic virtue of purity. The devil disturbed him day and night with lewd thoughts and immaginations. Anthony redoubled faith, prayers, fasts and mortification, convinced that this was an endless struggle, which he must wage while on earth. He decided to isolate himself. Having suggested to a friend to bring him food periodically, he entered a tomb and closed it. The devil entered the tomb one night with a multitude of demons, and dealt him such a rain of blows that he was left prostrate on the ground. The next day his friend judging him to be dead took him to the village Church. In the meantime he recovered, Anthony begged him to be taken back to the tomb. The evil spirits appeared to him in the form of fierce animals. With Divine permission, lions, bears, leopards, bulls, wolves, scorpions and snakes tormented him with their horrible noises and aggressions. Anthony groaned with physical pain, but remained vigilant and mocked his tormentors. Raising his eyes he saw ceiling open and a light penetrate the environment. The demons fled and the Saint felt comforted in his afflictions when he recognized the presence of Our Lord. He asked why He did not come to his aid sooner. Our Lord replied, I was here Anthony. I was waiting to see you fight. As you resisted and you did not let yourself be overcome, I will always help you. He went to the desert. The enemy tempted him by making gold and gold and silver before him. Anthony proclaimed with a loud voice that nothing would be able to divert him. He established his new home in Dayr al Maymun. He took with him typical bread that lasted for many months. Demons tormented him but he was not shaken and continued to pray. 

Anthony healed the sick, consoled the afflicted reconciled his enemies and exorcised demons. He defended and supported the Church. During the persecution of Maximinus, the Saint headed to Alexandria to strengthen with his presence. He too wished to die a martyr,  but no one dared to harm him. After exhorting the people of God to be faithful to the True Religion, he returned to his dwelling on Mount Colzim. His last years he spent in meditation. He cultivated wheat and prepared his own bread. Some of his disciples visited him and brought food.

Now close to his death, and over a hundred years old, Anthony was assisted by two of his disciples. He surrendered his soul to God on January 17, the date on which the Church celebrates his memorial.

People will hate you

 "They hate, mock, criticize and deride you because you are a Catholic, because you do publicly the sign of the cross, because you pray your rosary; never be downcast and ashamed, our Lord was also hated and treated with all manner of cruelty but he never gave up. Don't be like them and start arguing and insulting each other, just rejoice because you share in the real suffering of Christ"

Temptation against faith

 TEMPTATION AGAINST FAITH.

CHRIST:

"My child, some persons are seriously tempted to disbelieve what my Church teaches. Such temptations are often caused by the devil, the enemy of Truth. He disturbs my followers because he hates and fears their way of life. He does not bother habitual sinners in this way because he captures them through other sins. Satan inspires many wrong doctrines among those who do not know My Church. Under the appearance of good, these errors appeal to many. Keep close to My Church, and you will never fall into Satan's trap. Whoever disagrees with the word of My Church, disagrees with Me. If you are tempted in this manner, do not become anxious and troubled. Do not let doubts rob you of your peace. Simply put your trust in My Church, and the enemy will be put to flight. Believe My Apostles and their successors. I have guaranteed them from error. "He that hears you, hears Me" I told them. Their work is to continue to the end of time. Submit yourself to Me by faith. I want you to know My truth. I will add knowledge to your soul by grace whenever it is necessary for you. I do not require great learning, nor a deep understanding of My holy mysteries. What I ask of you is a strong faith in My words and a virtuous life".

#MyDailyBread chapter 54.

Remember, the church is not built on the sentiments of men but on the Truth revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ and passed down through his ministers, and NO minister can change the teachings of the Church; not even the Pope. Remain faithful as the heavy wind continues!

Adore the precious blood

 ADORE THE PRECIOUS BLOOD

Many believers think that because Christ has risen, we don't need to follow the way of the cross anymore. This is not true because Christ said it clearly "if anyone wants to be with me, let him deny himself, carry his cross and follow Me" matt.16:24

Now, how can you carry this cross lovingly if you don't recognize the price of our redemption, the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ? How come you reject the Cross but accept only Christ? Impossible! How would you be able to walk through the narrow ways of the cross without learning from the one who set the standard?.... And how can you learn from Christ without feeling what he felt? Surely, you must prove your loyalty through following the path Christ followed. He said "My yoke is easy and my burden light" Matth.11:30.

And that is why Christ didn't water down his teaching on the Bread of Life, the Holy Eucharist even when many of his disciples turned away and left. Jesus didn't panic neither did he call them back because He only wanted those who love Him to listen to Him and follow Him, instead He asked the 12 apostles "and you, aren't you going to leave with them?" John 6:67..

Let us develop great devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. We will conquer the flesh, the world and the devil through this devotion. However, you must remain pure in order to be transformed. It is a mockery to the Lord trying to adore Him with an unrepentant heart full of impurity, jealousy, anger, hatred, unforgiveness, sloth, stubbornness and all forms of immorality.

You will cry sorrowfully when you meditate deeply on the passions of Christ for our sake.

To have devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ is to recognize the value of that which was paid for our salvation. It is the loving reverence to the Precious Blood of our Lord.

You can't merely say "I am sorry Lord for your passion and love for me" without embedding your self in his passion through Adoration and Consolation.

Take your time adore and console Jesus in your homes and in the blessed sacrament.

May you answer this call through Christ our Lord 🙏

Temptations

 TEMPTATION: 

GOD tells us that man is born imperfect and  that he must use the opportunities and events in his earthly life to perfect himself as far as possible. He must use them according to the directions of his intelligence and according to the wisdom of God's law. It is not, however, easy to act always with this holy moderation. Man's feelings, moods, sentiments, appetites, and desires are not always willing to obey his intelligence. He sometimes feels too strong a love for some things and too weak a love for other things. This continual tendency to go to extremes is called temptation.

 Temptation is not sin. It tends to draw a man to do what he knows is wrong, or seeks to hold him back from what he knows is right.

 Temptation simply brings out what is in a man. One knows himself better when he has dealt with temptation. It proves his faults and tests his virtues. Just how much he really desires to earn Heaven, is seen by what he does to reach it. How much he really loves God, is seen by how much he is willing to do for God. The first safeguard against temptation is to recognize it, to see it as it really is without its attractive camouflage.

Excerpt from #MyDailyBread Part 3, page 83.

Meaning of consecration

 WHAT IS CONSECRATION?

We are used to hearing from the scriptures "Offer yourself as a living sacrifice, do not conform to the standard of the world..." Rom.12:1-2, this is the dedication of one's life to God's pleasure and service. i.e to sacrifice oneself or the substance of one's life, time, efforts, resources, and sometimes, one's life as an example of love of Jesus Christ. 

Therefore, consecration means making sacred. Setting something or someone apart for holy purposes. A technical meaning of consecration is that one is to set oneself apart from evil, turn to the Lord, and be willing and ready to be used by God. 

Consecration plays important role in growth toward God. It has two parts: man's part and God's part. Man's part is the practical side of consciously separating ourselves from sinful living. God's part of our being consecrated, is to prepare us for His use by actually making us holy. This preparation for holy use may sometimes involve some things seemingly unfavorable to the self, e.g; poverty, detachment or renunciation of the self, loss of fortunes, etcetera. God has to prepare not only the soul but also the body for use in His ministry.

Total Consecration: setting someone apart for holy purposes totally (i.e. for all times, in all things and in all places) without any reserve. God is the One who inspires us to totally give ourselves to Him and all consecration is ultimately to God alone. 

God, however, does not do anything in us or to us without our consent, our free will.

Dear soul, why distancing yourself from HOLINESS? Why giving sin chances? Why waiting to sin for some while ? Why not challenge sin and see God take His part? Why thinking that you are too sinful to consecrate? Come on and face your fear. Why make sin, your killer-your friend while God your Maker and Lover is your enemy?

Probably someone died today, who knows the next?

Render your heart to Mary Queen of all Hearts, and she will render it onto her Son. 

May the Lord help us.

The little way

 THE LITTLE WAY

Many modern christians admire the lives of the Saints, and are aspiring for sainthood through many pious practices. Very many number of believers have resorted to the use of force, stiffness and flight of the company of men to achieve this. Some of these ways, however can bring one to holiness if only it is done following the "Little Way" 

You can not claim to be in the journey of holiness while you are unapproachable, and are always the source of torment to others; flight of men doesn't mean bitterness* towards others, it rather means flight of the sins of men among men. He who conquers the world in the midsts of many struggles is greater than he who conquered through isolation.

It is of this little way that Christ spoke of when he said "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven" and "... learn from me, because I am meek and humble of heart" St Matthew 18:3 and 11:29 respectively.

Sainte Thérèse de l'enfant Jésus (St Thérésa of the child Jesus) provided us with a very simple way to sainthood which she termed the "Little Way". She teaches us to be saints by not stressing ourselves outwardly without any spiritual merits. She teaches finding joy doing the little tasks neglected by the world, performance of duties with love and unselfish desires. 

This “Little Way” consists in performing “little virtues” not seeking grandiose sacrifices to God, but little acts of holiness; like caring for the sick with love, serving others humbly without complaints, forgiving your enemies,  attending to the needs of others even when you are not directly involved, embracing being despised for standing out for the truth, modesty  and purity. 

"You must practice the little virtues. This is sometimes difficult, but God never refuses the first grace—courage for self-conquest; and if the soul correspond to that grace, she at once finds herself in God’s sunlight.

 The "Little Way" is a simple approach to the spiritual life that seeks to do ordinary things with extraordinary love" St Thérésa.

I pray we find joy in following this way provided by this "Little Saint of the Flowers" 🌺🌺🌺 through Christ our Lord 🙏

Renounce satan by virtue of baptism

 "The Christian has an obligation to pursue holiness, by virtue of his baptism. He has to fulfill the promises of his baptism: "I renounce Satan, his scandals, and his sins, and I attach myself to Jesus Christ forevermore." That is not a vain promise but something very serious! As the priest places the white veil on the child's head and gives him the candle, through his godfather and godmother who represent him, he says, "Keep the commandments of God and you will have eternal life. Keep the purity of your soul intact like this white garment in which you are clothed." That is the obligation which the Christian assumes for all of his life, wherever he may go, even if he remains in what we call the world. He is in the world but he should not be of the world."

⚜️Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

Protestant Martin Luther is in hell

 The Nun who saw Martin Luther in hell.

Sister Clotilde Micheli (1849-1911), also known as Sister Maria Serafina of the Sacred Heart, received visions during her life, most notably on November 10, 1883. While in Germany, in a small village, she was looking for a church to pray and reflect in. She found one, and it so happened to be a Lutheran church. Her Guardian Angel came to her and said: "Arise, for this is a Protestant church. I want to make you see the place where Martin Luther was condemned and the pain he suffered as a punishment for his pride." At that moment she saw Luther in the deepest place in Hell. He was on his knees surrounded by huge number of devils with hammers driving large iron nails into his skull. He he was consigned to the fires of Hell for starting the Protestant rebellion.

-------------------------------------------- 💕

Padre Pio also said that Martin Luther is in Hell and Christians today who follow him will meet the same end and those who do not submit themself to the pope and the teachings of the Catholic Church are also going to Hell. St. Padre Pio said that Luther was a great heretic and his fate was horrific and terrifying.

Cure d ars

 In The Confessional 

Even in the months between November and March, the Cure spent eleven or twelve hours a day in the confessional; when the fine weather returned it would be fifteen, sixteen, or even eighteen hours. It has been calculated that from 1830-when the Ars pilgrimage was already drawing crowds that were never to stop arriving, to 1859, the date of his death, the time spent by the Abbey Vianney hearing confessions must have reached a total of eighteen years. It might be irreverent, but it would be strictly accurate to use of him the sporting phrase - and say that the Cure d' Ars as a confessor beat all the records. In the course of his life, he accomplished single-handed what five or six priests together would not have been able to do, and as  Abbe Raymond, who was for eight years his assistant, observed, his labor in the sacred tribunal alone was sufficient to win him canonization. It is, indeed, impossible to weigh up the sum of sacrifices and the degree of heroism that this voluntary imprisonment in a confessional must have demanded from a weak human nature which, even in a saint, has its moments of rebellion and its dreams of freedom and of rest.

Curiosity

 NEEDLESS CURIOSITY:

My CHILD, 

Uncontrolled curiosity draws your attention away from your duties and brings needless distractions. 

It can waste a good deal of time and energy which you might use to greater good. 

It leads to pointless visiting and useless conversations. 

It fills the mind with so many empty distraction, which prevent you from freely receiving the holy thoughts and good desires which God sends you throughout the day.

You would have great peace if you were less curious about things which do not concern you. One who is too interested in the sayings and doings of others, becomes forgetful of the glorious ideal which God presents to him - the ideal of pleasing God in all things and thereby gaining eternal life.

Many things occur during the day which do not help you become a better person. What does it matter whether this one has new clothes or that one has failed in some personal projects?

Think of what concerns you, and of any good which you can do for others. Keep your heavenly goal before your mind, as far as your daily occupations will permit. Avoid idle talk and useless activities.

A curious nature, intelligently controlled, has often led men to make great discoveries. Yet, unless curiosity is controlled, it can hurt you forever. 

Your highest interest must be to follow God's Law, and to enter eternal life. 

The less you burden your mind with unnecessary interests, the more you will understand and appreciate your supernatural purpose on earth. 

Too many worldly interest make you forget or disregard your heavenly goal. 

Many sins of omission and carelessness spring from uncontrolled curiosity.

- Fr. Anthony J. Paone SJ

MY DAILY BREAD (1954)

Resolution to become a Saint

 ST. FAUSTINA ON GOODWILL/PURITY OF INTENTION:

“O inexhaustible treasure of purity of intention which makes all our actions perfect and so pleasing to God!” (66).

“O my Jesus, how very easy it is to become holy; all that is needed is a bit of good will. If Jesus sees this little bit of good will in the soul, He hurries to give Himself to the soul, and nothing can stop Him, neither shortcomings nor falls – absolutely nothing. Jesus is anxious to help that soul, and if it is faithful to this grace from God, it can very soon attain the highest holiness possible for a creature here on earth. God is very generous and does not deny His grace to anyone. Indeed He gives more than what we ask of Him. Faithfulness to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit – that is the shortest route” (291).

“I have come to understand today that even if I did not accomplish any of the things the Lord is demanding of me, I know that I shall be rewarded as if I had fulfilled everything, because He sees the intention with which I begin, and even if He called me to Himself today, the work would not suffer at all by that, because He himself is the Lord of both the work and the worker. My part is to love Him to folly; all works are nothing more than a tiny drop before Him. It is love that has meaning and power and merit. He has opened up great horizons in my soul – love compensates for the chasms” (822).

▪︎Jesus to St. Faustina

“This firm resolution to become a saint is extremely pleasing to Me” (1361).

revelation of Jesus to Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

 “What cold, what cold! Warm Me, for pity’s sake – do not let Me freeze anymore!... But do you think it was the cold of the air that made Me freeze? Ah, no! It was the cold of the hearts that made Me grow numb; and it was ingratitude that made Me cry bitterly at My very first coming out to the light. My beloved Mother soothed My crying, although She too cried. Our tears mixed together; and exchanging the first kisses, We poured Ourselves out in love. But our life was to be sorrow and crying, so I had Her place Me in the manger, to go back to crying, calling My children with My sobs and with My tears. I wanted to move them to pity with My tears and with My moans, so as to be listened to."

Why we need mass

 ⚜ WHY GO TO MASS?

1. At the hour of your death, your greatest comfort will be the Masses you attended during your lifetime with fervor and devotion.

2. Every Mass you attended will accompany you in the divine court and advocate for forgiveness.

3. With each Mass you can diminish the temporary punishment you owe for your sins, in proportion to the fervor with which you hear it.

4. With devoted assistance to Holy Mass, you pay the greatest tribute to the Blessed Humanity of Our Lord.

5. Holy Mass well heard supplements your many negligences and omissions.

6. For the holy mass well heard you forgive all the venial sins you are determined to avoid, and many others you don't even remember.

7. By her also loses the devil dominion over you.

8. You offer the greatest comfort to the blessed souls of Purgatory.

9. You get blessings in your business and temporary affairs.

10. A Mass heard as long as you live will profit you much more than many offered for you after death.

11. You get rid of many dangers and misfortunes you might fall into if it weren't for Holy Mass.

12. Also remember that you shorten your Purgatory with it.

13. With each Mass you will increase your degrees of glory in Heaven. In it you receive the blessing of the priest, which God ratifies in heaven.

14. To him who hears Mass every day, God will deliver him from a tragic death and the Guardian Angel will take into account the steps he takes to go to Mass, and God will reward him in his death.

15. During the Mass you kneel in the midst of a multitude of angels invisibly attending the Holy Sacrifice with extreme reverence.

16. When we hear mass in honor of a particular Saint, giving thanks to God for the favours given to that Saint, we can only gain his protection and special love, for the honor, joy and happiness that our good work is Follows him.

17. Every day we hear Mass, it would be nice if in addition to other intentions, we were to honor the Saint of the Day.

18. Mass is the greatest gift that can be offered to the Lord for souls, to remove them from purgatory, deliver them from their sorrows and lead them to joy of glory. - Saint Bernard of Sena.

19. Whoever hears Mass, makes prayer, gives alms or prays for the souls of Purgatory, works for his own advantage. - St. Augustine.

20. For every Mass held or heard with devotion, many souls leave Purgatory, and those left there are lessened sorrows they suffer. - Saint Gregory the Great, Pope.

21. During the celebration of Mass, the sorrows of souls are suspended for those who pray and work the priest, and especially those for whom the Mass offers. - St. Gregory the Great.

22. You can also earn Plenary Indulgence every Monday of the year by offering holy Mass and Communion in suffrage of the blessed souls of Purgatory. For the faithful who can't hear Mass on Monday it's worth hearing Sunday with that intention.

23. It is pleaded that they apply all indulgences in the suffrage of the souls of Purgatory, because God our Lord, and they will reward him this charity.

24. The Holy Mass is the renewal of the Sacrifice of Calvary, the greatest act of worship to the Holy Trinity. That's why it's a must hear it every Sunday and party to save.

Humility

 15 ‘HUMILITY’ TIPS FROM MOTHER TERESA

While she was head of the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa kept a list of ways to cultivate humility for the sisters in her care...

1. Speak as little as possible about yourself.

2. Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.

3. Avoid curiosity (she is referring to wanting to know things that should not concern you.)

4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others.

 5. Accept small irritations with good humor.

 6. Do not dwell on the faults of others.

7. Accept censures even if unmerited.

8. Give in to the will of others.

9. Accept insults and injuries.

10. Accept contempt, being forgotten and disregarded.

11. Be courteous and delicate even when provoked by someone.

12. Do not seek to be admired and loved.

13. Do not protect yourself behind your own dignity.

14. Give in, in discussions, even when you are right.

15. Choose always the more difficult task.

"I worry some of you still have not really met Jesus—one to one—you and Jesus alone. We may spend time in the chapel—but have you seen with the eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love? Do you really know the living Jesus—not from books but from being with Him in your heart? Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you? Ask for the grace; He is longing to give it. Until you can hear Jesus in the silence of your own heart, you will not be able to hear Him saying 'I Thirst' in the hearts of the poor. Never give up this daily intimate contact with Jesus as the real living person—not just the idea."

— Saint Mother Teresa, p.129-30

AN EXCERPT FROM

Manual for Eucharistic Adoration

St john of vianney

 Beelzebub Speaks On THE HOLY CURÉ OF ARS During An Exorcism

.

Taken From the Book Warnings From The Beyond by Jean Marty

.

B: It is necessary to make sacrifices, as a parish priest, Vianney of Ars, used to make them. He used to pray for entire nights when he knew that there were some sheep in his fold who were not living at all according to the Will of God. He used to give everything and sacrifice everything. He did not even sleep in a proper bed. Often, he used to pray for hours in front of the tabernacle... sometimes in order to save only one, single soul.

 

He came under furious attacks from the rest of us down there (he points downward), often because of just one soul... and that when he was not at all clever, and was very weak in theology and Latin. The priests of today say to themselves: “We are clever, we are doctors, we know everything better.” But in the final analysis, those are not the things which They are concerned about up there (he points upward). They are not concerned whether someone is clever, or about what he has in his brain, or about what he knows about philosophy and mathematics. Before all else, they consider this: is he a true shepherd? Does he go to look for his sheep, is he ready to give his life and everything that he has for his sheep? That is what Those up there are looking at (he points upward); and the great evil today is that the priests of this time do not do those things any more.

 

There should be preaching again about the Curé of Ars, and about Catherine Emmerich, who, on her bed of pain, did nothing but suffer and pray for the Church. Many other Saints have done that too. Padre Pio has suffered much for the Church and for sinners. It should be proclaimed from the height of the pulpits that it would be better to devote one's time to imitating Christ, rather than to gaining doctorates. 

There must be some of those, it is true. But for the majority, it would be better if they did not study philosophy or mathematics or theology, etc. For many, it would be better to spend half their nights in prayer and invoking the Holy Spirit; to live the true imitation of Christ and the Marian doctrine of Saint Grignion de Montfort, for example: putting their trust completely in the Blessed Virgin, in her Most Pure Heart and in the Sacred Heart of Jesus; to look towards the Cross and do exactly what Those up there wish (he points upward). That would be better than toiling and studying for hours, simply to make an impression before the world... How I have been forced to say that (he shouts!) How I have been forced to say that! 

E: In the name... tell the truth! 

B: Lenin, for example, the Father of the Russian Revolution, has said that it was necessary to give up whole nights and all his time for the Revolution... But many priests do not even do what the unbelievers do. Lenin knew what had to be done to make the Revolution succeed. He gave up everything for that... But, She, the Great Lady, makes me say, the priests of today are no longer prepared to sacrifice themselves entirely, and to sacrifice everything that they have for the people.

 

It is true that they must reckon with this: the more someone sacrifices himself, the more we fight against him. That was the way it was for the priest Vianney. We started a fire in his room. But that is of no consequence, Those up there make me say (he points upward). In spite of everything, Those up there and the Great Lady will be victorious... and the priests who still practice the true priesthood will carry off an incomparable victory.

 

No doctorate, nor any other title, can he compared with the good done by priests who still have the true understanding of souls, and the true understanding of men, and who know how to put themselves in the place of each man. They ask themselves: “What else could I do to save these people? What is the best way to preach? What must I do to bring them back to the practice of the Sacraments?” Naturally, it is necessary at the same time for them to administer the Sacraments in the proper way and according to the ancient rite, so that the heavenly blessing may be attached to them. UNLESS THEY DO THIS, THEY HAVE TO SOME DEGREE LOST GROUND.

 

Heaven must be earned painfully. Christ exercised the true Priesthood in the most perfect, the most pure and the most incomparable way; and His Apostles did too. They did not wonder whether they would be imprisoned or martyred. They had no fear. Our priests, on the other hand, are afraid of losing their position if they do not do exactly what many bishops say, although this is not the truth, and this is not obedience any more according to the way Those up there see it (he points upward). For we have already had to say that, now, one can no longer obey in cases where the command is not what it should be... Ah! This is crazy, that we have been obliged to speak in this way!

 .

E: Can it be said that it is better to obey God than to obey men? In the name...!

. 

B: God MUST be obeyed in preference to men! Did the Apostles have regard for men, Romans or anyone else? They had courage. They went to prison and gave themselves up to martyrdom for Christ...

. 

Where, therefore, among today's Christians, is the Sacrament of Confirmation, the mark of the Soldier of Christ, which they have on their brow? Catholics still bear this mark - and the priests have, in addition, that of their priestly consecration - and they would have the Angels to assist them. Why, for the love of Heaven, don't priests pray to the Holy Angels? Why don't they call on their patron Saints? And Saints Peter and Paul? And all the Apostles and Doctors of the Church? What things they could teach them, or how they could inspire them, if only they were invoked! And, before all else, the Holy Spirit.

. 

The Apostles had no fear of anything and nothing was too high a price for them. They used to administer the Sacraments properly, and they had a great respect for them. That is where you should be looking - towards the first Apostles... not towards those who came later, towards isolated groups who did not live and did not act at all after the example of the Apostles. You must not look towards the mediocre, the negative, but upwards, towards the best and what was done by the best. If you do this, you cannot say: these ones here and those ones there did things well... and no more can you imagine that now the same thing is good. This is a monumental error.

 .

Ah! How we hated this priest of Ars! We were in a terrible rage against him! He was so stupid, he did not even know Latin properly. How was he able to snatch such a great crowd of people away from us - people who, without him, would have come to Hell?

 .

Ah! She makes me say: “If only there were more priests like this Curé (parish priest) Vianney!” It is not money, nor possessions, nor intelligence that count. What does count, is what the priests do, what the state of their soul is, and the way in which they carry out the Will of God. That is what counts, even if they should be the least among men in the eyes of the world, and seem to be of no consequence and to occupy only the lowliest of positions. 

Those priests are much greater in the eyes of Those up there (he points upwards)... than he who wears a bishop's miter, or a cardinal's hat, or anything else you like! Ah! How we have been forced to say that!

 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN ON CRUTCHES IS HEALED!

FRANCE (1834)

Father Bégin, an eyewitness to this cure that took place in Saint-Maur where he was chaplain, wrote a report in which he attested to the following facts:

that the sick person was gravely ill;

that she was cured on March 14, 1834; and

that she declared that she only used the medal and prayer.

One hundred witnesses from the nursing home signed this document.

The bishop of Châlons also added his signature to the document:

“We certify that the testimony of Father Bégin should be taken as wholly trustworthy, as well as that of the nuns and so many others who were eye witnesses and spoke according to their consciences without any other interest except that of stating the truth. Châlons, May 30, 1834 + M.S.F.V., Bishop of Châlons.”

Mrs. C.H., a 70-year-old widow, had been admitted in impoverished circumstances to the nursing home of Saint-Maur because of a bad fall that occurred on August 7, 1833. She walked with great difficulty and even with the help of a crutch needed someone’s arm for support. She also found it hard to sit and only with great difficulty was she able to rise again. It was almost impossible for her to climb stairs, as she had to hold on to whatever she could to do so. She could not bend down or kneel, and had to drag her left leg, as that was where the problem lay.

At the beginning of January, 1834, she was told of a medal that was reported to be miraculous. Described as having, on one side, Mary crushing the infernal serpent and on the reverse of the medal were depicted the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the letter “M” with a cross on top, she also heard of marvelous things that had happened to those who wore it with confidence.

From that moment she felt her heart enkindled with the consoling hope of finding some relief that the wearing of this medal promised to her, and she could not wait for the moment she would receive one. Finally, on March 6, she received the much longed-for medal as a gift from Heaven. She then went to confession in order to dispose herself to receive the favor she desired.

The following day, the first Friday of the month, after receiving Holy Communion, she started a novena to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. She venerated the medal, which she wore around her neck, twenty times a day. In a short while, she obtained a happy answer to her requests. After only seven days of the novena, she felt free from the painful infirmities she had suffered so cruelly for seven months.

We cannot describe the surprise and admiration of everyone on the morning of March 14th upon seeing this woman walk about unaided when the previous evening she had been crippled. She was able to bend down, kneel, go up and down stairs. Everyone cried out: “Miracle!” and was greatly edified by such a prodigious cure. They congratulated her on such a great grace from God and Mary Most Holy.

The Mother Superior, who had taken care of her innumerable times since she had been taken ill and daily witnessed her sufferings, wanted a Te Deum to be sung by the whole community in the house chapel to celebrate solemnly this extraordinary grace. The sick lady remained cured and no longer felt the effects of her former infirmity.

 Mary's Last Years 

The Blessed Virgin lived about fifteen years after our Lord's Ascension. Yet, there were never any wrinkles or signs of age in her lovely features, which always remained just as they were when she was in her thirty-third year. As time passed, Mary became more and more serious and recollected. No one ever saw her laugh, but she did occasionally smile with a very touching expression. She became quite thin and pale, for she slept very little, often only half an hour, and she ate only very light meals consisting usually of nothing but plain bread and sometimes a little fish. 

When she appeared among the Apostles on important occasions, she wore a large, white mantle and veil and a long sky-blue scarf ornamented with embroidery. Usually, she wore a simple, white robe. But she put a black veil whenever  she went along the sorrowful Way of the Cross in Jerusalem, for she regularly made devotion pilgrimages to all the places which her Divine Son had made holy by His suffering during His Passion. 

St. Peter insisted that Mary should attend the first meeting of the assembled Apostles and disciples, at which he announced that they would pray together to the Holy Ghost for ten days before deciding the difficult question that confronted them. On the first and last day, he celebrated Mass and distributed Holy Communion. The Blessed Virgin personally cleaned and decorated the hall of the Cenacle for the first of these ceremonies. But during the ten day, she retired to her room where she remained without eating or speaking to anyone. 

At this time, she had a mystical experience in which she was shown Lucifer and all his companions being obliged to hear the Almighty God announce to them that the Mother of the Savior would always defend His Church from their attacks. Then the Lord told her to exercise her authority and drive the demons back into the abyss, while the Holy Trinity assured her that the Church would ever be assisted by the omnipotence of the Father, the wisdom of the Son, and the love of the Holy Ghost.

 The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: if I gave you power to change

something from the past, what would you change?

The first of them, with great apostolic fervor, replied: "I would prevent you from making Adam and Eve fall into sin so that humanity could not turn away from God."

The second, a man full of mercy, said to him: "I would prevent you from God and you will condemn yourself eternally".

The third of them was the simplest and, instead of responding to the tempter, he got on his knees, made the sign of the cross and prayed saying: "Lord, free me from the temptation of what could be and was not".

The devil, giving a raucous cry and shuddering with pain, vanished.

The other two, surprised, said to him: "Brother, why have you responded like this?"

He replied: "First: we must NEVER dialogue with the devil . Second: NOBODY in the world has the power to change the past. Third: Satan's INTEREST was not to prove our virtue, but to trap us in the past, so that we neglect the present, the only time  God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with Him to fulfill His will ".

Of all the demons, the one that catches the most men and prevents them from being happy is that of "What could have been and was not".

The past is left to the mercy of God and

the future to his Providence. Only the present is in our hands. "Live in the moment"

 "He who desires to go on advancing from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace, should meditate continually on the Passion of Jesus. 

There is no practice more profitable for the entire sanctification of the soul than the frequent meditation of the sufferings of Jesus Christ.” - St. Bonaventure

 OBEDIENCE TO THE CHURCH MAGISTERIUM THE PADRE PIO WAY 

Imagine this Padre Pio was sacked by the Vatican and was told he can no longer say mass in public but still did, he refused to give the Holy Mass in the vernacular but instead only the TLM. Imagine him giving interviews left and right to EWTN Raymond Arroyo @ EWTN World Over live , or Lifesite news Fox news etc etc  and portray himself as an upholder of Truth of the tradition of the Church and insinuates that the Holy Father is a usurper a fake Pope  a heretic and the anti Christ and still continue to be in the limelight kneeling in a plaza with all the TV news cameras news videos surrounding him etc  .. but Padre Pio didn't all of that narcissism and he never said anything against his superiors the Pope  he just kept his silence obeyed the Catholic church and for 10 years he was inside his room in the convent alone and isolated ,he kept his silence prayed the Rosary and trusted Jesus alone. 

Saint Padre Pio gives us a modern example of how, even when we disagree or do not believe the decisions made are for the best, we should still obey. As Padre Pio worked to build a hospital ( Casa sollievo della sofferenzo) to ease suffering and care for the poor, those jealous of his attention and following sought to steal the money and push Pio out of control of the leadership of the hospital. Pio remained silent and obeyed. He remained focused on the main thing, which was his personal obedience to God and others. The attention gained by the stigmata and miracles reported under Pio caused the Church leadership, even some of his own religious brothers, to lie on him and put him through unnecessary investigations. Pio still did not defend himself or fight back. He was obedient. As a result, he was justified in the end, even to the point where his leadership of the hospital was restored and he even received dispensation from his vow of poverty by Pope Pius XII in order to enable him to oversee expenses of the hospital. Pio, in another sign of obedience, gave the hospital to the Vatican. 

False accusations by his own religious brothers led Pio to be ordered to stop celebrating Mass publicly and he was to celebrate it only privately in his room. He obeyed. He was separated from his spiritual advisor and was to never contact his advisor again. He obeyed. When he was allowed to finally say Mass publicly again, it was only to be at a 4 a.m. Mass so the leadership could reduce the size of the crowds gathering there (or at least they hoped it would, but it failed). Padre Pio obeyed without questioning. 

When the world seemed to be attacking Pope Paul VI for accusations of heresy because of changes to the Mass, Padre Pio once again showed his obedience for the Pontiff and the Church by writing a letter to the Pontiff himself. The letter to Pope Paul VI was the last letter written by Padre Pio. He died 11 days later. However, ironically for our time, the letter addressed the lack of obedience the Church and the Pontiff faced. In his letter, Pio wrote to Pope Paul VI: “I well understand what profound afflictions you carry in your heart these days for the lot of the Church, for world peace, for the many necessities of the people, but above all for the lack of spirit of obedience of a certain number of Catholics as the enlightened teachings that you, assisted by the Holy Spirit, and in the name of God, have given us. Permit me, as your humble spiritual son, to offer you my daily prayer and suffering, imploring God to comfort you with His grace in order that you may go forward, in your straight and arduous path, in the defense of those eternal truths to remain unaltered with the changing times. I thank you also, in the name of my spiritual children and prayer groups for the clear and decided words you have given us in Humanae Vitae and I reaffirm my faith, my unconditional obedience to your illuminated instructions. May Our Lord concede the triumph of the truth, peace to His Church, tranquility of heart to all the people, health and prosperity to Your Holiness, in order that with the passing of these clouds the Kingdom of God may triumph in all hearts through your apostolic work as Supreme Pastor of all Christianity.” 

Many have heard of St. Padre Pio’s battles with the devil, suffering of the stigmata, and perhaps even his work with the hospital. However, it is his greatest legacy of simple obedience that makes this friar more relevant for our time than ever before. This simple, poor friar who offered himself for others and loved others more than himself, forgave those who attacked him and lied on him even if they never asked, and sought only to do the will of God, left us the greatest lesson in the way to holiness. Obedience.

My  lord and my God Jesus I am so grateful that You lived a life of perfect obedience to the Father and that You offered that life to Him as payment for my sins. Please, through Your Holy Spirit, convict me when I am tempted to disobey and give me the strength to obey instead.

I ♥ PADRE PIO

 SALUS CREDENTIUM - SALVATION OF THE FAITHFUL ~   AUXILIUM CHRISTIANORUM HELP OF CHRISTIANS 

IN THE PROPHECY OF SAINT JOHN BOSCO WHO IS THE FLAGSHIP COMMANDER MANNING THE BARK OF SAINT PETER?  WHICH IS BEING ATTACK  FROM ALL SIDES  DIRECTIONS IT IS BISHOP STRICTLAND OR THE POPE? ARE YOU WITH THE POPE OR WITH STRICTLAND?

"In the midst of the immense expanse of sea, two mighty columns of great height arise a little distance the one from the other. On the top of one, there is the statue of the Immaculate Virgin, from whose feet hangs a large placard with this inscription: Auxilium Christianorum - 'Help of Christians'; on the other, which is much higher and bigger, stands a Host of great size proportionate to the column and beneath is another placard with the words: Salus Credentium - 'Salvation of the Faithful" Dream of Don Bosco 

“The flagship commander – the Roman Pontiff- standing at the helm, strains every muscle to steer his ship between the two columns, from whose summits hang many anchors and strong hooks linked to chains. The entire enemy fleet closes in to intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs, firearms, cannons. The battle rages ever more furious. Beaked prows ram the flagship again and again, but to no avail, as, unscathed and undaunted, it keeps on it course. At times, a formidable ram splinters a gaping hole in its hull, but immediately, a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash.

“Meanwhile, enemy cannons blow up; firearms and beaks fall to pieces; ships crack up and sink to the bottom. In blind fury, the enemy takes to hand-to-hand combat, cursing and blaspheming. Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped up, but struck a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the enemy, and wild rejoicing seeps their ships. But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope’s death coincides with that of his successor’s election. The enemy’s self-assurance wanes.

“Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns; first, to the one surmounted by the Host, and then the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. At this point, something unexpected happens. The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling each other.

“Some auxiliary ships, which had gallantly fought alongside their flagship, are the first to tie up at the two columns. Many others, which had fearfully kept far away from the fight, stand still, cautiously waiting until the wrecked enemy ships vanish under the waves. Then they too head for the two columns, tie up at the swinging hooks and ride safe and tranquil beside their flagship. A great calm now covers the sea. ” (Memoirs, Vol. VII. Pages 107-108).

The Two Pillars are  the Holy Eucharist and Devotion to Our Lady 

BUT WHAT DOES OUR LADY SAYS ?  THERE WILL BE A GREAT SCHISM MANY OF MY BELOVED  CHILDREN WILL TURN AGAINST THE POPE 

Our Lady Of the Rosary in Anguera 

Pray for the Church of my Jesus. It will suffer because of great persecutions. Many of my beloved children will turn against the Pope. There will be a great schism. True doctrine will be denied even by members of the hierarchy

List of all prophecies

May 9, 1995 – “…Cardinals and bishops will turn against the Pope, many will lose the faith, but as I have said, hear the voice of him who is truly the successor to the chair of Peter. The Pope is betrayed by his closest collaborators. There are few who have the courage of Peter, but many who have the courage of Judas. Pray! I repeat, Pray! The decisive time is coming…”

May 28, 1996 – “…I also invite you to obey your ecclesiastical superiors. Don’t back away! Go to meet my Son Jesus. Pray! Pray for my beloved firstborn son, the Pope John Paul II. I want to tell you that the Church of my Jesus will pass through a crisis such as has never been seen since its foundation…”

January 1, l997 – “…Pray for the Church of my Jesus. It will suffer because of great persecutions. Many of my beloved children will turn against the Pope. There will be a great schism. True doctrine will be denied even by members of the hierarchy. Pray. The Church of my Jesus will be attacked, it will be the target of great attacks. Only the faithful, the true faithful, will remain firm. Don’t be frightened by what I say. You need to hear this so that when it happens you will remember that I foretold it. Don’t lose hope. You who are with me will be supported and protected…”

January 4, 2005 – “…There will be a great tempest, and the great vessel will be struck. Now is the time of the great tribulations I announced to you in the past.

November 14, 2006 – “…Humanity lives in the darkness of spiritual blindness. The action of the devil will lead many to lose the true faith. You will yet see horrors on earth. The Church will be persecuted. The throne of Peter will fall, but in the end the just will conquer. …. A great religious war will come, and the faithful will be thrown out. Love the truth and defend it. The Lord is at the side of His own. Courage.”

March 22, 2007 – “…The Church will be shaken and there will be a great division.”

March 31, 2007 – “…Men will try to break the key and there will be great confusion.”

April 5, 2007 – “…Pray for the Church of My Jesus, because the time of great sufferings is drawing near. Pray for the successor of Peter. The time of great suffering for him is coming. Many of his own will abandon him.”

 FINAL EXORCISM OF NICOLA AUBREY. 

The 8th of February, the day appointed by God on which Satan was to leave Nicola forever, arrived at last. After the solemn procession, the Bishop began the last exorcism.

"I shall not ask thee any longer ", said the Bishop to Satan, "when thou intendest to leave, I will expel thee instantly by the power of the Living God, and by the Precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, His beloved Son, here present in the Sacrament of the Altar".

"Ah, yes!" shrieked the demon. "I confess that the Son of God is really and truly present.  He is my Lord and Master. It tortures me to confess it, but I am forced to do so". Then he repeated several times, with a wild, unearthly howl: "Yes, it is true I must confess it. I am forced to leave, by the power of God's Body here present.  I must...I must depart. It torments me that I must go so soon, and that I must confess the truth. But this truth is not from me; it comes from my Lord and Master, who has sent me hither, and who commands and compels me to confess the truth publicly ".

The Bishop then took the Blessed Sacrament in his hand, and holding it on high, he said, with a solemn voice: "O thou wicked,  unclean spirit,  Beelzebub! Thou arch-enemy of the Eternal God! Behold, here present, the Precious Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Lord and Master! I adjure thee, in the name and by the power of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, who is here present; I command thee to depart instantly  and forever from this creature of God.  Depart to the deepest depth of hell, there to be tormented forever.  Go forth, unclean spirit,  go forth- ..behold here thy Lord and Master!"

Satan tried to escape from the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. All present trembled with terror, especially when they heard the wild cry of the demon, which sounded like like the loud roar of a wild bull. They fell on their knees, and with the tears in their eyes, began to cry out: "Jesus have mercy!" The Bishop continued to urge Satan. At last the evil spirit departed. 

Many a heretic also said: "I believe now in the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament; I have seen with my eyes! I will remain a heretic no longer.  Accursed be those who have until now kept me in error! Oh, now I can understand what a good thing is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!"

 BECAUSE MANKIND HAS DECIDED FOR DEATH.. - OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE 💀 🖤 😔 

🌹  In her message dated October 25 2022 to visionary Marija on that day, the Blessed Mother said:

"Dear children! The Most High permits me to be with you, and to be joy for you and the way in hope, BECAUSE MANKIND HAS DECIDED FOR DEATH..

*That is why He sent me to keep instructing you that without God you do not have a future. Little children, be instruments of love for all those who have not come to know the God of love. Witness joyfully your faith and do not lose hope in a change of the human heart. I am with you and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." (End of quote.)

🔥  Elsewhere, in Italy on Oct. 19, 2022, the tone of urgency was also in the message of the Blessed Mother through mystic Valeria Coppini, urging that youths be told about the reality of hell. She said:

“My dearly beloved little children, today I ask you to speak about hell, especially to young people. They do not admit that the pains of hell exist; they talk about it among themselves and laugh at those who inform them about this eternity, which is full of pain alone. Dear children, help me to make these young people of mine understand that eternal pains are real, just as eternal joys are real, whereby my children who are obedient to God’s Word will enjoy the love of their Creator forever.

“I am sad: I suffer much for these little children of mine, so I ask you not to leave me on my own in these last times. Pray and make others pray, especially for priests, that they would take this difficult task to heart: it is especially up to them to bring to my Son all the young people who are far from the Church and therefore from God. For you, the times are being fulfilled; your [present] world will come to an end to make way for what is spiritual on earth.

“My children, I know that I can count on you who follow my teachings; always be consistent in your way of behaving and of awakening consciences that are far from God. May the Holy Mass always be in the first place in your lives, as Jesus will act through you. I love you, my dearly beloved children; I am always close to you and I pray to Jesus that He would grant you all His love. I give you my great love. Your true Mother.” (End of quote.)

🔥  Meanwhile, allow me to share some quotes from the Blessed Mother during her apparitions in Fatima, Portugal in 1917:

“I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not continue to offend Our Lord, Who is already too much offended.”

“If my requests are not granted, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions against the Church. Many good people will be martyred, there will come another great war, and various nations will be destroyed.“

“Wars are a punishment for the sins of mankind.” 🔥 💣 

“More souls go to Hell because of the sins of the flesh than for any other reason.”

“Certain fashions are being introduced that offend Our Lord very much.”

“Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.”

“Say the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world. And after each decade say the following prayer: ‘O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy.'”

“Pray, pray a great deal, and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because they have no-one to make sacrifices and pray for them.”

“God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”

“I promise to help at the hour of death with the graces needed for salvation those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries, with the intention of making reparation to my Immaculate Heart.”

“Tell everybody that God gives His graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask graces from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her... In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, Russia will be converted and there will be peace.

I ♥ MARY

 "Confession is more powerful than an exorcism. One is a sacrament and the other is a blessing. One confession is worth 100 exorcisms. The devil wants to destroy the soul and the soul is healed by confession. If people want to decrease the work of Satan, they should increase the use of confession. Once the confessional line gets thin, the activity of Satan increases. To decrease the work of Satan, increase the use of confession." ~ Msgr. John Esseff (Exorcist 40 years)

 “THERE ARE MANY SAINTS TO WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN THE POWER TO ASSIST US IN THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE, BUT THE POWER GIVEN TO SAINT JOSEPH IS “UNLIMITED”: IT EXTENDS TO ALL OUR NEEDS, AND ALL THOSE WHO INVOKE HIM WITH CONFIDENCE ARE SURE TO BE HEARD.”  

—Saint Thomas Aquinas

Oh Glorious SAINT JOSEPH, thou who hast power to render possible even things which are considered impossible, come to our aid in our present trouble and distress. Take this important and difficult affair under thy particular protection, that it may end happily. (Name your request)

O dear Saint Joseph, all our confidence is in thee. Let it not be said that we would invoke thee in vain; and since thou art so powerful with JESUS and MARY, show that thy goodness equals thy power. Amen. 

Saint Joseph, Friend of the SACRED HEART, pray for us.

 BEWARE OF THE LIES OF SATAN 

Lies of the devil we hear daily,  that can make our soul perish in Hell for eternity. 

1 - It's not a sin. Don't worry about it. 

2 - Jesus is relationship not religion, religion does not save.

3 - There are no absolute truths.

4 - The devil doesn't exist.

5 - We are all children of God. Every one will be saved. 

6 - All religions lead to God.

7 - Why follow the truth revealed?, If you can have a ′′ god ′′ at your convenience.

8 - Dogmas tie us to ignorance.

9 - Why confess to a man who can be more of a sinner than you. 

10 - All priests are rapists and they're there for the money.

11 - It's my body, my choice. I decide.

12 - Why baptize a baby?, wait until he grows up and ask him if he wants to be a Christian.

13 - God doesn't care about you. 

14.- Hell is an invention to scare you to obey and not question. 

15 - Purgatory is an invention of the Church to bring money to the faithful.

16 - Don't go to Mass, it's a pure waste of time. 

17 - It's your life and no one can tell you what to do. 

18 - Why do you confess if you will sin again?.

19 - Marry?, For what?, love is without commitment.

20 - Look at you, you've sinned a lot, God will never forgive you.

21 - You're going to sin again so why bother repenting?

Let us make the most of today's life and turn back to God.

 Christians who wish to escape the rigors of Purgatory must love the mortification of their divine Master, and beware of being delicate members under a Head crowned with thorns .On 10/2/1656 , in the province of Lyrons, Father Francis of Aix , of the Society of Jesus , passed away to a better life.He carried all the virtues of a Religious to a high degree of perfection. Penetrated with a profound veneration towards the most Blessed Trinity , he had for particular intention in all his prayers  and mortifications to honour this August Mystery ; to embrace by preference those works for which others showed less inclination , had a particular charm of him. He often visited the Blessed Sacrament , even during the night, and never left the door of his room without going to say a prayer at the foot of the altar. His penances, which were in a manner excessive , gave him the name of the man of suffering. He replied to one who advised him to moderate them, 

" The day which I should allow to pass without shedding some drops of my blood to offer to my God would be for me the most painful and the severest mortification. Since I cannot hope to suffer martyrdom for the love of Jesus Christ , I will at least have some part in His suffering."

Another Religious, Brother Coadjutor of this same order, did not imitate the example of this good Father. He had little love for mortification, but , on the contrary, sought his ease and comfort, and all that could gratify the senses. This brother, some days after his death, appeared to Father d' Aix, clothed in frightful haircloth, and suffering great torments, in punishment for the faults of sensuality which he had committed during life. He implored the assistance of his prayers, and immediately disappeared.

Another fault against which we must guard, because we so easily fall into it, is the unmortification of the tongue . Oh! how easy it is to err in words! How rare a thing it is to speak for any length of time without offending against humilty , meekness, sincerity , or Christian charity! Even pious persons are often subject to this defect; when they have escaped all the other snares of the demon , they allow themselves to be taken , says St. Jerome , in this last trap ---- slander.

 St. Teresa in her works speaks of a Religious who set the highest value on the smallest indulgence granted by the Church, and endeavored to gain all in her power. She led otherwise a very ordinary life, and her virtue was of a very common order. She died, and the saint, to her great surprise, saw her soul ascend to Heaven almost immediately after her death, so that she had, so to say, no Purgatory. When St. Teresa expressed her astonishment at this, Our Lord made known to her that it was due to the great care she had taken to gain all the indulgences possible during life. " It was by that means, " He added, " that she had discharged almost the whole of her debt , which was quite considerable, before her death; and had therefore appeared with great purity before the tribunal of God."

 The following is related by Father Cepari in his Life of St. Magdalen de Pazzi. A professed Religious, who , during her last sickness,had been most tenderly cared for by St . Magdalen, died, and as it was the custom to expose the body in the church, Magdalen felt herself inspired to go and look upon it once more. She went, therefore , to the grid of the chapter room, whence she could see it, but scarcely had she done so, than she was ravished in ecstasy, and saw the soul of the departed sister take its flight to Heaven. Transported with joy, she was heard to say," Adieu, dear sister; adieu , blessed soul! Like a pure dove, you fly to your celestial home, and leave us in this abode of misery. Oh, how beautiful and glorious you are!Who can describe the glory with which God has crowned your virtues ? What a short time you have passed the Purgatory!Your body has not yet been consigned to the tomb , and behold!your soul is already received into the sacred mansions. You now know the truth of those words I so lately addressed to you ," That all the sufferings of this life are nothing in comparison with the reward which God has reserved for His friends." In the same vision, Our Lord revealed to her that this soul had passed but fifteen hours in Purgatory , because she had suffered much during life, and because she had been careful to gain the indulgences granted by the church to her children, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ.
