Today – Good Shepherd Sunday

A+M+D+G

Heard a great sermon today. I can’t remember it all, so I will just use the main ideas and embellish them with my own thoughts, as inspired by the sermon. (The parts that are definitely from the sermon I heard are in italics, but in my own words).

Shepherds in Jesus day were not well thought of – they did not have good reputations. Sometimes they were not even allowed to give testimony in court. Jesus said ‘I am the Good Shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know Me.…” He would even lay down His life for his sheep.

Shepherds make sure their flocks have good food, go and look for them when they stray and get lost, and bring them back to the fold. They stay with them day and night and keep them safe from predators and wolves. The crook is an aid to help rescue them when they are in trouble, or approaching trouble.

Jesus, the Good Shepherd appointed His apostles as bishops – to be shepherds of the flock of the faithful. We call them “pastors”. Jesus gave them 3 main functions – to sanctify, teach and govern – these are to  keep the flock safe from harm.

Sanctify – to make holy by offering the Sacrifice of the Mass and to confect and give the Sacraments;

teach –  the teachings of Jesus Christ laid down by Him and which cannot be changed – to enable the flock to stay safe and reach their eternal reward; 

govern – the structures laid down to enable all this to happen.

 

 

 

The Protestant Reformation of the 1500’s distanced itself from the role of the priest, and therefore of the “Good Shepherd”. They cannot offer up the Sacrifice of the Mass, or the Sacraments of Eucharist and Penance – keeping the flock safe from harm and evil and keeping holy. It is such that their ministry is a job – in which they must use their own personalities to emphasise their homilies and teachings. In doing so, they face the people. Their altar is just a table (without relics) – it is not used to offer up the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ offered up on the Cross. This has crept into our own Catholic Church since Vatican II. When the priest faces the people, they are the centre of attention.

The priest referred to modern shepherds who use “clown” antics to keep the people amused; who wear secular clothing, who are referred to by their Christian name only and  the title of  “Father” is not used.

I, myself, can think of many “clown” Masses – they seem to have been multiplied especially since 2013.

Remember Fr Scheier? He was in an horrific car accident and should have died. He says that his sentence was “hell” when Our Blessed Mother interceded for him. You might think  – what did he do that was so bad?

 See his whole story here: http://www.sign.org/articles/gods-merciful-judgement-a-priests-true-story 

Also see Youtube EWTN: : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VFE8ToVatI

Many of our dear priests have let the spirit of the world infect them: they think that they have to be seen as accepting everything and everyone. Jesus and His teachings are no longer important unless they have been twisted to show that Jesus will show Mercy to every single person, regardless of whether they ask for forgiveness and express their sorrow.

Father told us that the devil once said to St John Vianney: “If there were three such priests as you, my kingdom would be ruined.”

WE MUST PRAY FOR GOOD SHEPHERDS – especially all the modernist cardinals and bishops who are leading the flock astray; and for good priests with courage to proclaim the Truth despite secular modernist and relativist opinions and persecutions.

Jesus does not want any of His beloved “Sacred Servants” to be lost. Remember Jesus’ exhortation to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day at 3 o’clock for all to be saved. We were just reminded of that in our prayer group meeting  a few days ago. See the post entitled “JtM Crusade Prayer meeting on Thursday 27th April, 2017”

PRAYER TO BE SAID BY THE LAITY:

Pope Pius XII  July 17, 1956

O Jesus, eternal High Priest, Good Shepherd, Font of Life, Who by a special favor of Thy most tender Heart hast given to us our priests in order to accomplish in us those holy ideals with which Thy grace inspires our hearts, let Thy mercy, we beseech Thee, come to the aid of our priests.

Grant them, O Jesus, lively faith in their works, unshakable hope in their trials and fervent charity in their intentions. May Thy word, radiant with eternal Wisdom, become through continual meditation, the never failing nourishment of their interior life; may the examples of Thy Life and Passion be renewed in their conduct and sufferings for our instruction and as a light and consolation in our sorrows.

  Grant, O Lord, that our priests, free from all earthly attachments and solicitous for Thy glory alone, may persevere to their last breath in the fulfillment of duty and in purity of conscience. And when in death they deliver into Thy hands a task well done may they have in Thee, Lord Jesus, their Master on earth, the eternal reward of the crown of justice in the glory of the Saints. Amen.

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting on Thursday 27th April, 2017

A+M+D+G

Prayer Theme: Protection

 

Overview of Readings

  1. Bible(NAB) Mark – Introduction to his Gospel. (The paragraph we pointed to spoke about God’s reign breaking into human life. Also when Jesus told Parables, only the believers could understand them.)
  2.  B of T: 30th April, 2011. (We can save the world by praying the Divine Mercy every single day at 3pm; pray not only for those closest to us, but for all God’s children;
  3. B of T: 1st May, 2011 (This reading mentions themes of “Protection” – our Prayer theme today; Eucharist – which was the focus last week and the week before that; and also that of Divine Mercy – the feast day was last Sunday. The date of the Warning is not for us to know; The deceiver’s time is short now; For family members who are in sin, we must try to tell them. Jesus reminds us that we must prepare now for survival in the future, so that we do not have to rake the mark of the beast. Prayer groups are vital; Jesus will give us special graces of protection; Receiving the Eucharist will sustain us to extraordinary levels during the persecution.)
  4. B of T: 30th June, 2014. (The Truth will never die out; warning to clergy against proclaiming an alternative doctrine; the punishment of those who lead souls into error will begin during their lifetime and continue after death; secular humanism will come as a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing and will devour them; when Jesus’ Church turns His Teachings upside down; inside out and back to front, we will know that the time has come for the antichrist to take centre stage. Jesus warns his sacred servants from breaking their oath to serve Him – being obedient to their superiors is breaking their oath to Him. When they do this, they will not Jesus they will be serving.) 

    Readings from the Book of Truth

    1. People all over the world share the same traits

    30th April, 2011

    I rejoice tonight, My beloved daughter, because of the way in which you obey Me. Your obedience in attending daily Mass and receiving the Most Holy Eucharist is pleasing to Me. You are becoming stronger now in mind and spirit to respond quickly to My Most Holy Will. You still have much work to do to prepare your soul, My daughter, towards the perfection that is required of you. The Warning and global conversion can dilute any torment during reign of antichrist;

    Never fear because I Am guiding you every step of the way.

    My daughter, how I love sinners, how I yearn for their allegiance to Me. I look and I see people with friends and family, happy, with laughter in the home, and I Am filled with joy because My Spirit is present there. Then I look into other homes and I see disarray, sadness, anger and in some cases evil in the form of abuse. And I cry. Because I know that Satan is present in that home. Then I watch and see groups of friends working together for the good of others in their day-to-day life and I Am pleased. I then look at other groups working feverishly for the good of themselves with just one motive.

    That is to generate huge amounts of power and wealth. All their actions have one goal – to look after themselves. And this is usually at the expense of others. Then I weep because I know they are in darkness. And then I watch, with fascination, the intelligent, educated groups who want to convince the world that God, My Eternal Father, does not exist. They rant and present sophisticated arguments as they arrogantly deny Me too. To then witness believers, of lukewarm faith, be sucked into this den of darkness breaks My Heart, so many, many groups with diverse interests, goals, aims. Very few, sadly, invest the time in communicating with God the Eternal Father.

    Faith has deserted many millions of people in the world today. The result is that many people feel confused, don’t know what goals to aspire to, nor look for guidance from My sacred servants.

    This whirlpool of confusion will continue unless My children call on Me to help them. Pray for all My children everywhere. Look around you and you will see that people all around the world are the same. They may be of different nationalities, speak in different tongues and have different coloured skin. They do, however, share similar traits. Some are happy, some suffer, others are full of love, while others are angry and violent. Most people have a sense of humour and experience this at some stage in their lives. So when you look at your own family and friends you will see the very same similarities.

    So if you feel the need to pray for those closest to you, then I urge you to consider your brothers and sisters in every corner of the world. All of you are My children. By praying the Divine Mercy for all My children everywhere, you, My followers, can save mankind from the darkness of Hell. The power of this prayer will guarantee that My Mercy will cover everyone around the world.

    Let Me take all of you to My Paradise. Don’t allow Me to suffer, should I have to leave any of you in the hands of Satan.

    Pray, Pray My Divine Mercy at 3:00 P.M. every single day and you can save the world.

    Your Ever-Merciful Jesus Christ

    2. Russia & China to cause disruption

    1st May, 2011

    My dearly beloved daughter, tell the world that preparations are now underway to prepare souls for the New Paradise on Earth, which I have promised.

    The date for My Second Coming on Earth is not for your knowing. Be assured though that My promises will always be fulfilled. No one can stop My great Act of Mercy to redeem mankind. Satan does not have this power. He, the deceiver, is to be destroyed, My daughter, and cannot survive. His time is very short now. I warn those who follow him through sin, that they have few chances remaining to redeem themselves. They must turn away now from sin if they want to be saved. Those of you followers who may have a family member or special friend who are following a path of sin, then it is your duty to try and open their eyes to the Truth.

    Prepare now to avoid taking the mark of the beast
    Many events both on Earth and in the Heavens are now about to take place, which will turn the course of history. Prepare, all of you, during this time. I have told you before that money will be scarce so please try to prepare your families for survival, so you won’t have to accept the mark. Please do not ignore My pleas.

    Prayer Groups are vital now to protect yourselves and save the world from the persecution of global – political, banking and so-called human rights’ organisations. Their goal is one of power and control over you, My children, although many of you cannot see this. You will though in time. And that time is close. Start preparing for your future survival now and keep in prayer, for I will offer My special graces for protection to all of you. Please do not be frightened for all that will really matter will be your allegiance to Me.

    As the One World Order takes control of the Middle East, you will be astonished at how many countries will be under their control, how many innocent souls will believe that these new regimes will offer them freedom. But this will not be the case.

    Russia & China to cause disruption
    Watch now as Russia and China become the third entity to cause disruption. Very soon now, those of you who have given control of your countries to faceless groups who treat you like puppets, will soon see the sinister groups these political forces, not of God, try to dictate how you live. Defend yourselves through prayer. Every day and every hour I will ease your suffering. Receive Me in the Holy Eucharist and you will gain a strength that will sustain you to extraordinary levels during this persecution.

    I, Jesus Christ, do not wish to cause panic in your lives. But I cannot stand to the side and not warn you of these events. Out of My Mercy, I Am giving you a chance to prepare; not just for your spiritual welfare, but for the livelihoods of your families. To avoid the mark, please prepare carefully.

    The Warning, will without question, ease any such persecutions, because so many will be converted. Pray, pray now for all global conversion, and to dilute any torment that will evolve during the reign of the antichrist and the false prophet.

    Your beloved Saviour
    Jesus Christ

    1. You can only uphold the Truth, for I Am the Truth. Deny the Truth and you deny Me

    June 30, 2014

    My dearly beloved daughter, you, My dear followers, must know that the gates of Hell will never prevail against My Church, although much of My Church on Earth will be crushed, as foretold. But, the Truth can never die. My Word will never die out nor will My Teachings be forgotten by those who are in true union with Me. 

    Only those who remain true to My Word can say they are part of My Church on Earth. Those who applaud any form of tampering of the Holy Gospels or adaptation of My Teachings will no longer be able to claim that they serve Me. Should a holy servant of Mine dare to proclaim an alternative doctrine to the one given to man by My apostles and the prophets, before My Time, they will be immediately expelled. 

    I warn all those who embrace anything, which is deemed to be sacred – but which is formed by human hands and creation – and who accept this as Mine, that I will cast you out, for you will no longer be able to call yourselves My servants. And should you lead souls into error, your punishment will begin in your time and will continue long after you depart from this life. 

    My Anger is unknown to you, because you have yet to witness it. But know this. You who will betray Me already know who you are, for your faith has already weakened. Many of you have already fallen and your weakness will be your downfall. You will betray Me; deny Me and embrace My enemies, for you will be so caught up in the new religion – the secular humanism, which will come as a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing to devour you – that I will be forgotten. Your ambition and desire to please those enemies of Mine, who will rise to great heights, within the echelons of My Church – will blind you to the Truth. This will be the cause of your demise and all those whom you will pull into grave error.

    It is when My Church turns My Teachings upside down; inside out and back to front, that you will know that the time has come for the antichrist to take centre stage. Those who worship the beast will sign their own death warrant and will hand over their free will, a Sacred Gift from God, to My enemies. Once you swear an oath to this new false doctrine, you will be guilty of crucifying Me and your punishment will be severe. 

    Why, you may ask, would you be punished for your obedience to your elders? The answer is simple. When you swore an oath to serve Me, you agreed to uphold the Truth. When you break this oath, because of your obedience to those enemies of Mine to come, then it is not I, Jesus Christ, you will serve.

    You can only uphold the Truth, for I Am the Truth. Deny the Truth and you deny Me. When you deny Me, as a servant of God, you will no longer be fit to instruct God’s children towards their Eternal Salvation.

    Your Jesus

     

GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR HIS REMNANT ARMY (Part 2)– preparing us, guiding us.

A+M+D+G

We know that Jesus chooses our readings each week.

We could not help but notice – the topics, the repetitions, and the timing relevant to church/world events.The readings are chosen after the Crusade Prayers. They are chosen randomly with a prayer to the Holy Spirit first to guide us.

On Thursday 13th April at our JtM prayer group one of the readings we opened up on was  about the coming Abomination of the Eucharist, when a new Liturgy will be introduced with the meaning of the Eucharist changed. See:  https://remnantdisciples.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/jtm-crusade-prayer-meeting-on-thursday13th-april-2017/

On Thursday 20th April, the following week, we again opened up on exactly the same reading about the Eucharist. There was no marker in the book, and the book was picked out randomly from the pile of volumes 1 to 5. The Crusader involved asked “should I open it again?”. DonnaLiane responded and urged her to open it again. She re-opened it and lo and behold – it was the SAME reading. See: https://remnantdisciples.wordpress.com/2017/04/20/jtm-crusade-prayer-meeting-on-thursday-20th-april-2017/

God was trying to tell us something – 2 weeks in a row. Donna explained: “It was because I had learnt from the night before* that God can do the most unlikely thing and give you the same reading twice, that I exhorted and told Mum that He would if He wanted to – and then He did!!

God was laughing at me! Then we were laughing too. 

* It was confirmation of the night before’s reading on the Book of Truth! (answering the problem I had – see previous post “GOD IS ALWAYS THERE FOR HIS REMNANT ARMY (Part 1)”

Then, Donna wrote (on Saturday 22 April):

I woke up this morning)  singing the most unlikely hymn as I was half awake /half asleep. It took me a while to remember all the words (mainly the first line) but I’m sure my angel put it in my head as I DID go to sleep while praying and haven’t heard this hymn in YEARS! Not even a reference to it!

It goes…

” Sons of God

Hear His Holy Word

Gather round the table of the Lord

Eat His Body

Drink His Blood

And we’ll sing a song of Love

Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelulia!”

Email Signed: ‘Joyfully Jesus’ (through Mary)’

Mum replied:

This is a confirmation of the messages we have had in the last 2 weeks about the Eucharist.

Be aware of the Eucharist -and ALL that It is. It is as if the words are for all those who will be faithful to the Truth about Jesus present in the Eucharist.

That Night 

Donna Liane opened on: Hosea 9: 1 – 6 (The Sorrows of Exile).

They have deserted God and the bread and wine won’t nourish them. They won’t offer the sacrifice of the Lord anymore.

And their bread will be like mourners bread. It will make them unclean…

and then their treasures will become overrun with weeds too. They will have nowhere to celebrate on the day of the Lord – the day of solemn festival. They will have gone from the devastation and left into exile by then.

This is a summary, not the actual Passage.

Have a read of the actual words:

1Do not rejoice, Israel,

do not exult like the nations!

For you have prostituted yourself, abandoning your God,

loving a prostitute’s fee

upon every threshing floor.

2Threshing floor and wine press will not nourish them,

the new wine will fail them.

3They will not dwell in the LORD’s land;

Ephraim will return to Egypt,

and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.

4They will not pour libations of wine to the LORD,

and their sacrifices will not please him.

Their bread will be like mourners’ bread

that makes unclean all who eat of it;

Their food will be for their own appetites;

it cannot enter the house of the LORD.

5What will you do on the festival day,

the day of the LORD’s feast?

6* When they flee from the devastation,

Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them.

Weeds will overgrow their silver treasures,

and thorns, their tents.

This is also about the loss of the Eucharist .

We think God is trying to tell us that this is close.

It is urgent that we are prepared – that we warn others!

Only a false Prophet could speak such words – Part 2: Discerning

A+M+D+G

” Every prophet should be discerned, by individuals praying fervently to God for His Wisdom. Prophecy should not be despised, as St Paul said:

“Quench not the Spirit.Despise not prophecies. Instead prove all things; hold fast to that which is  good.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:19-21)

…Over time, I learnt many ways to discern whether someone is a true prophet. And most of all God taught me that it is sheer pride to believe that you ‘know’ what a certain “prophet” would say, because of your knowledge, or intelligence or learnedness or  that you ‘don’t need to know’ or ‘hear’ what he/she has to say.

 To reject His true prophets greatly offends God and arouses His anger. There are plenty of examples of prophecy in the Bible and what happens when people reject His Words and warnings given through prophecy. Read what He says! Do not be ignorant or full of pride.

These are the ways that I have learnt to listen to and discern prophecy and they are all as important as each other.

1. Whether their messages do not contradict any Truths of the Catholic Faith and authentic Church Teaching.

Their words likewise should not contradict the Holy Bible, of course. The words should honour Jesus as we’d expect for Our King and teach or reiterate the truths of our Faith.

These prophets should submit in obedience to a spiritual director. This is so that they themselves can be scrutinised and guided to know what is “of God”, when they are being tested or deceived and to help them discern God’s Will. A good spiritual director has the good of the soul and the whole Church at heart.

2. You will know them by their good fruits (ie. true conversions), growth in faith, hope and love/charity. The Bible tell us that this is a sign of a true prophet.

3. Whether their prophecies come true or are confirmed over the course of time.

Again the Bible tells us this is a sign of a true prophet. This especially applies to specific and unexpected events (not so much to general, expected events such as an earthquake in an earthquake zone.) This does not mean that prophecies involving chastisement cannot be mitigated, reduced, delayed or averted through prayer. They can!  God warns us for a reason. But certainly when specific prophecies can and do unexpectedly come true, they can be considered to be a possible  sign of authenticity. (See Prophecies fulfilled on this website: go to Menu and select category)

4. Whether the prophecies shake you out of complacency.

The Bible warns us of false prophets proclaiming only “peace, peace.”

In fact the Word of God cuts like a knife– even to dividing soul from spirit. If it’s not challenging you, it’s not the Word of God!

5. Other genuine signs and miracles. (Also see ‘Signs and Wonders’ and ‘Worldwide prayer group miracles on this site).

God gives signs. He has always done so. Pay attention to miracles-especially those which cannot be replicated or incited through emotionalism. Even more so when they are verified or experienced by more than one person.

6. Whether they impart with authority the Holy Word of God.

The sheep know their Shepherd’s voice and follow Him. God is not wishy-washy. He has all authority and power in heaven and on earth. He commands. He imparts His exact Words directly to prophets and they say ” The Lord says thus..” You must read your Bible and learn from Him! Do not think that because you have never seen or known of it in your experience, that it cannot be true.

7. Whether anti-fruits are present indicating a charleton. Eg. If they appear to seek personal gain (such as money, status, power or attention) or only gain for God, is important. Look at what they seek to gain. Examine their motives. (See our earlier post ‘Only a false prophet could speak such words: Part 1)

8. Whether the prophet has been greatly changed and affected themselves by their experience. Eg. Are they led to be transformed in holiness? Do they lead good and holy lives? This is best observed over time if possible.

9. Also Jesus says that His sheep know His voice

If you are close to Our Lord and have read many of His Words contained in writings to saints, prophets, seers and visionaries etc as well as the Most Holy Bible, your heart will leap at the sound of your Master’s voice! Inside you may feel a “little flame” burning in your heart whenever you hear the Words that are of the Holy Spirit, just as the disciples on their way to Emmaus felt.

Luke 24:[32] “And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst He spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?”

In all things, pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment, with a sincere heart.

9. A true prophet is never accepted in their hometown.

Jesus said so. They are rejected, slandered and persecuted. The more intensely this occurs, the more the devil is trying to stop them. All true prophets are lied about. The more holy the message,the more intense the attack against it. Be careful not to believe stories. Discover the truth for yourself. If in doubt, ask Jesus!

10. Lastly through (sustained) prayer for discernment (detached from any particular outcome).

It is an offence to God and the pinnacle of pride to not ask God His opinion!! No one is above God. He alone knows the answer to what you seek. Ask and you will receive. He will not give a rock when you ask for bread. He will answer you! Be patient though and offer sustained prayer and fasting.

Discernment is a precious, precious gift from The Lord. When you receive it, be grateful!

Thank Him in the same Spirit and with as much fervency as when you first asked!”

Only a False Prophet could speak such words (Part 1)

A+M+D+G

God has warned us in His Holy Scriptures:

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Lk 6:45).

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked” (Gal 6:7).

“And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God” (Apoc 13:6)…

“For fools speak folly, and their minds plot iniquity: to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.7 The villainies of villains are evil; they devise wicked devices to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right”.( Isaiah 32:6-7)

“And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.” (Rev.13:11)

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”  (Matthew 7:15)

What is a false prophet?

A prophet is one who speaks to us God’s Word as it is given. A false prophet professes to speak the Word of God but does not do so. A “false” prophet professes to speak God’s word – but it is false: twisted, misquoted; falsities inserted, etc.

A false prophet speaks true words of God at times, but when it suits him, he speaks words that are not from God, but implies, or says that they are. He is two-faced. He says what people want to hear. He is a “Janus” or Janus-faced.

Jesus described false prophets as “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. Revelation describes the false prophet as having 2 horns like a lamb. (See Rev. 13:11 above) The Mitre the pope wears can signify the “2 horns”.

Jesus tells us we will know them by their fruits. Some of them are listed below:

The words of the False Prophet belie his true identity:

Other public acts of blasphemy against God or the Saints include his

 

 

  • 2016 : “First, we have Francis accusing John the Baptist of “doubt”, or lack of faith, in Matthew 11: Although John was great, strong, secure in his vocation, “he still had dark moments,” he had his doubts,” said Francis. He claims John began to doubt in prison, even though he had baptized Jesus, “because he was a Saviour that was not as he had imagined him.” (http://www.onepeterfive.com/papal-eisegesis-time-st-john-baptists-doubt/ 

 

 

  • Bergoglio claims Judas was repentant and victimized.

“Bergoglio earlier this week  (April 2016) delivered a sermon at Casa Santa Marta in which he called Judas Iscariot a poor, repentant man, victimized and driven to suicide by unmerciful lovers of the law”. The writer comments: “This stunning attempt to rehabilitate Judas Iscariot, the greatest, most wicked traitor in history and despairing self-murderer, is beyond unprecedented.  It reeks of supernatural evil.” See: (http://www.barnhardt.biz/2016/04/16/gloves-off-paragraph-303-god-wills-mortal-sin-and-bergoglios-sinister-affinity-for-judas-iscariot/  )

 

  • Only a false prophet would contradict the Catholic Church teaching on “hell”: On November 6, 2016, in a midday address after the Angelus in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis suggested that everyone goes to heaven. He said: “The ‘children of heaven and resurrection’ are not a privileged few, but they are all men and all women, because the salvation brought by Jesus is for everyone.”

In an interview published in the La Stampa on December 31, 2013, he said: “Never fear the final judgment, because Christ will always be at our side.”

Likewise, in Amoris Laetitia (297), Pope Francis wrote: “No one can be condemned forever, because that is not the logic of the Gospel!” See: https://veritas-vincit-international.org/2017/02/11/pope-francis-everyone-goes-to-heaven/

  • A true pope would not make fun of any religious orders, let alone those who are attracting many vocations. or use the phrase “superstar” or “postmistress” in reference to the Blessed Virgin.

In referring to religious orders, he said that he worries because  “The Spirit does not follow the logic of human success.” He denounced them as “Pelagians,” who want a return to asceticism and penance, “soldiers who seem ready to do anything for the defense of faith and morality, and then some scandal emerges involving the founder [male or female].”

 

  • Proselytism is solemn nonsense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.

A true Pope would commend to us Jesus’ words:  “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Pope Paul VI affirmed in his letter On Evangelization in the Modern World: “We wish to confirm once more that the task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church” (14). Evangelization is at the very heart of what it means to be followers of the Lord.

  • The false prophet said: “I believe in God, not in a Catholic god”.

 

  • He says: “:We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods.” And also says: “the most urgent problem that the Church is facing is youth unemployment and the loneliness of the old. “

 

  • If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Compare this with Pope Benedict XVI: “Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. … Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ‘swept along by every wind of teaching,’ looks like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards.”

See: http://www.holychoices.org/data/Pope-Frances-False-Prophet.html

 

 

  • For example, when the Bishop of Rome preached at the Domus Santae Martae in May 2013, he said in a homily:  “We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’  But do good: we will meet one another there.”  By “there,” he meant heaven.  In other words, atheists can go to heaven by doing good works. This is clearly error. See: http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2016/10/14/why-pope-francis-is-a-false-prophet/

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting on Thursday 20th April, 2017

A+M+D+G

Prayer Theme: Salvation of Souls

Overview of Readings

1. Bible: Isaiah 19: 16-23 (This reading seems to speaks to us of events today –and of hope for both Christians and pagans. The reading tells about pockets of the people of God in the pagan country of Egypt. There will be ‘an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt.’ ‘The Egyptians shall know the LORD’ ‘…they shall turn to the LORD and he shall be moved by their entreaty and heal them.’)

2. B of T: 2nd 2013. (Greatest persecution is from other Christians: This is the exactly same reading we opened up last week. The lady who opened it noticed and asked whether she should try again. There were no markers in the book. AGAIN, she opened up at that reading. I guess the Lord was trying to warn us, so that we are prepared. We notice that this happens quite often, but not usually so close together. The reading warns us about the new prayers which are to be introduced, and especially the changes to Holy Communion.)

3. B of T: 15th June, 2011 ( Intellectual snobbery: Jesus warns us about getting involved in debates on God’s Word – where people who say they love Him, try to analyse it and think they know best. This is the sin of pride. He warns us to stay humble. He tells us that this only causes division amongst His followers. People who do this won’t be able to draw close to Him. This message repeats the message of the [previous reading – that is: ‘Never persecute others in My Name, especially your fellow Christians.’)

Bible Reading

1. Bible (NAB)

On that day the Egyptians shall be like women, trembling with fear, because of the LORD of hosts shaking his fist at them.k 17. And the land of Judah shall be a terror to the Egyptians. Every time they think of Judah, they shall stand in dread because of the plan the LORD of hosts has in mind for them.

18. On that day there shall be five cities* in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one shall be called “City of the Sun.”

  1. On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the LORD near its boundary. 20. This will be a sign and witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, so that when they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and deliver them. 21.The LORD shall make himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day; they shall offer sacrifices and oblations, make vows to the LORD and fulfill them. 22. Although the LORD shall smite Egypt severely, he shall heal them; they shall turn to the LORD and he shall be moved by their entreaty and heal them.n

23On that day there shall be a highway from Egypt to Assyria; the Assyrians shall enter Egypt, and the Egyptians enter Assyria, and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

 

Readings from the Book of Truth

  1.  The greatest persecution will be inflicted by Christians upon Christians

November 2, 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, I must urge all of God’s children to join in union and pray for My Church on Earth.

My Heart heaves at this time, for there is great hatred being shown to those who are practicing Christians. The persecution of Christians will continue in all countries and this includes all those who have, at this time, the freedom to practice their homage to Me. The greatest persecution will be inflicted by Christians upon Christians. The scourging of My Body on Earth will be at its worst from within, as brother will turn against brother and sister against sister. You will soon see the declaration of the new prayers, which will be introduced by the new liturgy. 

The main changes will refer to the Holy Communion, where it will be presented as something, which bears little resemblance to My death on the Cross, when I gave up My Body for all sinners. By declaring that Holy Communion means the joining together of all of humanity, as one before God, you will insult Me, because this would be contrary to the Truth. The Truth no longer means the Truth, because so many spread lies, exaggerate and do not understand how easily the Truth can be tampered with. When twisted, in a subtle way, many will not notice the changes, when the Truth is not adhered to. Lies will take the place of the Truth, divide the human race and create the separation from God, which will lead to destruction.

Always cherish the Truth, because without it the sun will darken, the moon will no longer present light when night falls and the stars will no longer shine in those days which will signal the final darkness, before I come to reclaim My Kingdom.

By then, only the Truth will save you.

Your Jesus

 

  1. Intellectual Religious Snobbery offends Me

15th June, 2011

Today, My daughter, I want to warn those devoted followers of Mine, who publicly proclaim My Name, to follow the Truth of My Teachings and to tread carefully. I love all My followers and especially those who show humility at all times.

I become frustrated, however, when solemn and earnest Christians, who speak My Word, try to analyse My Teachings in a loud and dictatorial manner. Not enough is it to spread My Word, they feel they must bring My Teachings into a human intellectual debate, which serves only one purpose.

To prove to others that they are more qualified to understand My Most Holy Word. So intent are they to prove that they are right in their discernment, that they divide My true followers. Their solemn and earnest devotion to Me can often render them impotent in their real love for Me, which should always stem from humility.

They must keep their loud voices, full of intellectual criticism, quiet. They must stop, listen to My Voice and resist the urge to prove their knowledge of spiritual matters to others. When they do this they are guilty of the sin of pride. They do not know Me at all. Because they do not take the time to stay quiet and humble themselves before My Eyes, which are all-seeing. Until these solemn followers of mine become little in My Eyes and lower themselves before Me, I will not be able to draw them to Me.

Glorify Me. Honour My Word. Follow My example. Never persecute others in My Name, especially your fellow Christians.

Your beloved Teacher and Saviour
Jesus Christ

Stations of the Cross – Lord what have they done?

A+M+D+G

This is how the Stations of the Cross Devotion should be prayed.

jesusviacrucis

But this is not what happened on Good Friday.

At first, I was really mad…now, I am just really sad!

A friend brought to me a version of the Stations of the Cross that was used in a local parish on Good Friday.

I have seen modern versions of the Stations in various churches. Some have added a fifteenth station – the Resurrection. I don’t like it, but I can live with it.

Many have replaced their traditional depictions of the Stations with more modernist type portrayals, but they still have the SAME titles for each station. But this one was like  nothing I have ever seen!

It is like everything is progressing in a downwards spiral very fast. Another Crusader friend has shown me her Church Bulletin and the prayers of the faithful. Another has been horrified at the so-called “prayers” of the faithful (which are now prescribed and printed in a book)! I guess this is so that everyone is clear on what the agenda is supposed to be.

We have seen during this papacy, a few off-the-cuff comments here and there, twisting of the words of the Gospel,  little doubts expressed about Jesus’ intended meaning, a few footnotes sprinkled with words misquoted from a saintly pope and taken out of context, many negative aspersions cast on “traditional’ Catholics – a little drop of poison and before long, the whole lot has been tainted and is deadly!

Now one of our most loved devotions has been poisoned. I can’t believe what they did to the Way of the Cross! I shouldn’t be surprised, I should have seen it coming – they added Stations, they left some out. They mixed them all up. They feel empty! There is no expression of sorrow for sin or plea for mercy or forgiveness.

After the prayer intentions of each Station, instead of “have mercy on us” the response was “We thank you Lord”. The prayer intentions seem at first sight generally okay, but the emphasis is wrong. We should be expressing our sorrow and asking for mercy and forgiveness for what our sins have done. One glaring prayer that stood out – “Jesus, for turning to prayer and not violence in your anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane’ – We thank you Lord’ !!!.Why would Jesus turn to violence – He was the Son of God, not just a criminal or terrorist!!!

                                                  *(Click to download excerpt: Modern Stations of Cross )

There are no beautiful meditations for each Station, as is found in every version of the Stations I have ever read, such as that of St Alphonsus Liguori, or St Padre Pio, or St Faustina’s Way of the Cross, or that of Plinio Correa de Oliveira etc – only a “meditative silence” is inserted in the booklet. We need to be firstly guided by the thoughts of holy people such as of the aforementioned  not just simply thrown into an empty vacuum of our own thoughts that we could still be dwelling on, and tainted by the secular world. 

The stations that were completely ignored:

Jesus is condemned to die

Jesus falls the First Time

Jesus falls the Second Time

Jesus falls the Third Time

Jesus meets His Mother

Veronica wipes the Face of Jesus

Jesus is taken down from the Cross

These are very holy and significant events, To omit them is tantamount to ignoring their importance, or even denying that they ever happened. It is especially significant in contemplating the meaning of them for us in guiding us in our everyday lives.

Stations that are renamed and/or renumbered:

Jesus is buried (versus ‘Jesus is laid in the tomb’).

The new title, seems somehow more disrespectful. He actually wasn’t buried – put in a grave and covered over with dirt, as the term ‘bury’ implies. Laid in the tomb is not only more accurate, it is more gentle and implies a much more respectful picture of what occurred.

Jesus is stripped and nailed to the Cross.

Two Stations have been combined into one. The stripping is not even mentioned in the reading, nor is the nailing. The title seems to be just lip service to what happened.  It simply says “When they reached the place of the skull, they crucified him there and the two thieves…” Obviously our modern society can’t contemplate the horrific and cruel nailing to the Cross to which our Saviour subjected Himself because He loved us. So the simplest words are chosen from the Gospel. Combining the two concepts into one, also waters down the whole event and makes it a little more insignificant.

Jesus before Pilate (versus Jesus is condemned to die).

The scriptural text chosen is John 18: 33-37: It is indeed Jesus before Pilate but NO MENTION of Jesus being condemned, just the discourse about Him being a king.

The women of Jerusalem weep for Jesus (versus Jesus consoles the women of Jerusalem or Jesus comforts the weeping women of Jerusalem, or Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem).

This doesn’t at first sight to be so different. But the emphasis is now on the women  instead of on Jesus.

Jesus dies on the Cross

This is now the eleventh Station. I don’t know why, but somehow this is significant. It should be the Twelfth Station. It is the one at which we always kneel. However, Donna Liane offered an explanation and explained why it seems significant:

*“It’s the emphasis upon the parts. There are equal parts or divisions which culminate at the 12th station (an even number.) The two extra stations are additions which reflect on the other two significant moments after He dies. 

They are part of Mary’s suffering or passion, as relates to Jesus’ Passion. And belong also to His followers or disciples. The traditional structure echoes that of a sonnet which has three quatrains which develop the problem or story, and ends with a closing couplet. 

A sonnet is a love poem. All traditional stories spend most of their time in building up to a climax followed by a shorter denouement. That is why being the eleventh Station seems unbalanced and somehow wrong.”

Jesus is helped by Simon of Cyrene Vs. Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to Carry his Cross.

The adapted version omits the essential part “to carry His Cross”. Without this phrase added, it just sounds like a day to day event.- Simon helps Jesus.  This phrase  “to carry His Cross”  underscores the merit of Simon’s action.

New Stations that were added:

Jesus is arrested

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Jesus is whipped and crowned

The good thief

Mary and John

Summary:

Traditional Stations of the Cross      Vs.

Let’s make up our own Stations.

First Station:

          Jesus is condemned to Death

                                                                      Jesus is Arrested

Second Station:

          Jesus Bears His Cross

                                                                      Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Third Station

          Jesus Falls the First Time

                                                                      Jesus Before Pilate

Fourth Station:

          Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother

                                                                      Jesus is Whipped and Crowned

Fifth Station:

          Simon Helps Jesus to Carry the Cross

                                                                      Jesus Carries the Cross

Sixth Station:

          Veronica wipes the Face of Jesus

                                                                      Jesus is helped by Simon of Cyrene

Seventh Station:

          Jesus Falls the Second time

                                                                      The Women of Jerusalem weep for Jesus

Eighth Station:

          Jesus Consoles the Women of Jerusalem

                                                                     Jesus is Stripped and Nailed to the Cross

         

Ninth Station:

          Jesus Falls for the Third Time

                                                                      The Good Thief

Tenth Station:

          Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

                                                                      Mary and John

Eleventh Station:

          Jesus is nailed to the Cross

                                                                      Jesus Dies on the Cross

Twelfth Station:

          Jesus Dies on the Cross

                                                                     Jesus is Buried

Thirteenth Station:

          Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross

Fourteenth Station:

          Jesus is laid in the Sepulchre

 

This is another sign of things to come.

Expect many more changes and manipulations.

The changes to the Mass are coming. Have your eyes open! Do not be deceived.

Listen carefully to any new ways of expressing thing. The language can be easily manipulated to change the meaning.

We are getting very close to the fulfilment of more prophecies:

They are slowly but surely removing our Blessed Mother from the scene. They left her at the foot of the Cross, but omitted her meeting Jesus on the Way of the Cross.

Jesus, Son of God, suffering and dying for our salvation has been transformed into the story of a man being crucified.

         

“We adore thee of Christ and we praise Thee

Because by Thy Holy Cross

Thou hast redeemed the world”.

Have mercy on us, Lord have mercy in us!

Comments of other Crusaders, to whom I sent the draft:

(Crusader L) “ no adoring the Cross.: Because of the Cross You have redeemed the world”. No mention of redemption. 

No asking for mercy either. I was petrified.. CHURCH HAS FALLEN

St. Catherine of Sienna: We have had enough of exhortations to be silent!

Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see the world is rotten because of Silence”

Donna Liane: It made me feel sad just reading about it!  It was like they butchered them! 

If they feel they can change a long held tradition and “improve” then what’s to stop them doing it to the Gospel or doctrine or any other thing? It’s pride that makes them feel they can improve anything! It’s wrong! 

*Yes “Jesus dies” should be 12th (Station) I think I can explain why. (see insert above under ‘Stations that are renamed and/or renumbered – Jesus dies on the Cross’)

Prayer Theme: Faith, Family, Nations

Overview of Readings

  1. Bible: Wisdom of Ben Sirach 50:25-29 (Ben Sirach speaks of wise instruction and proverbs he has written, which if we take them to heart, we will be able to cope with anything because the “fear of the LORD” is our lamp.)
  2. B of T: 2nd Nov. 2013. (persecution of the Church, new prayers, changes to meaning of Holy Communion; cherish the truth; without it sun will no longer shine…)
  3. B of T: 10th April, 2012 ( The time for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is close. Our Blessed Mother speaks of the new false pope who will denounce the messages of Jesus, and of Our Lady’s appearances and her role as Co-Redemptrix. The false pope will fool bishops, priests and cardinals; importance of fasting and Rosary; never fear future, we will be protected.)

 

Reading from the Bible 

  1. Bible (NAB) 50: 25-29 
  1. My whole being loathes two nations,

the third is not even a people:*

  1. The inhabitants of Seir* and Philistia,

and the foolish people who dwell in Shechem.e

  1. Wise instruction, appropriate proverbs,*

I have written in this book—

I, Yeshua Ben Eleazar Ben Sira—

as they poured forth from my heart’s understanding.

  1. Happy those who meditate upon these things;

wise those who take them to heart!

  1. If they put them into practice, they can cope with anything,

for the fear of the LORD is their lamp.

3. The Mother of Salvation: The time for me to crush the serpent is drawing nearer

10th April, 2012

I am your beloved Mother, Queen of the Earth. I am the Immaculate Conception, the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, Who came in the flesh.

My child, the time for the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart is close.

The time for me to crush the serpent is drawing nearer, until the day when Satan and his demons are cast into the wilderness, much confusion will erupt on Earth.

For believers in my Son, it will be a time of torment. They will be pulled into two different directions, by the Catholic Church.

One half will believe, out of duty, the need to follow the false prophet, the pope who will follow Pope Benedict XVI.

He, the beast, is dressed like a lamb, but is not from my Father, God the Most High, and will fool poor souls, including priests, bishops and cardinals.

Many will follow him and believe him to be sent by God to rule over His Church on Earth.

Sadly, many souls will follow his teachings, which will be insulting to My Father.

Others, filled with the Holy Spirit and given the Graces of discernment because of their humble souls, will know instantly, that an imposter sits in the Church in Rome.

The new false pope is already scheming, even before he ascends to the Throne of the Seat of Peter, to denounce the Teachings of my Son. Then he will denounce me, the Blessed Mother of God and ridicule my role as Co-Redemptrix.

My child, your role is going to become even harder than before. For many of my children are very confused. The insults you face every day, the torments you endure on behalf of my Son, will increase.

Never be afraid to tell the world the Truth, my child.

You are being made stronger, as a result of the physical and mental suffering you accept on behalf of my Son, in order to save souls.

Every effort, especially by one division in the Catholic Church, will be made to dismiss my Messages given to you.

Your obedience and loyalty to me and my beloved Son, will be tested as never before. This may lead you to pull away, but should this happen it will not last long.

Pray, my child, for all of God’s children, who through no fault of their own, are being pulled into the final battle for souls.

All of this must come to pass for it is contained in my Father’s Book.

All the angels in Heaven protect you, my child, in this somewhat lonely Mission.

Always remember how important prayer is.

Pray, pray, pray, for without prayer, especially the recital of my Holy Rosary, Satan can pull you away from the Holy Word of my precious Son.

Remember also the importance of fasting, for it keeps the deceiver at bay.

Without regular prayer, my children will find it hard to remain close to my Son.

Never fear the future, children, for once you remain close to my Son you will be protected and given the necessary Graces to prepare your souls and those of your families, for the New Era of Peace foretold so long ago.

Your beloved Mother

Queen of the Earth

Mother of Salvation
