Reading for Today from the Bible “ And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels..” “

+AMDG+

This message was the third one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The second reading was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

Bible:(Douay Rheims) 2 Chronicles 5: 2-7

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
[3] And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
[4] And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
[5] And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.
[6] And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
[7] So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
[8] For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.
[9] And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.

Which changes did Vatican authorize? Part 3.

1. Changes authorized in the Sacraments of Initiation

i) Revised rites for Baptism and Confirmation SC§§62, 66-71 (but with entire new rites for just 3 particular cases §§68, 69)

ii) Vernacular can be used, 63

iii) Catechumenate restored, §64

iv) Parents’ and godparents’ roles SC §67

v) Baptismal water may be blessed each time, SC §70

vi) Confirmation renewal of baptismal promises and within Mass, SC §71

vii) No changes in First Holy Communion at all.

2. Changes not authorized in the Sacraments of Initiation:

i) Baptism:  Option of total immersion for adults and children

ii) Confirmation ‘form’ (formula) changed to “N. Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit” as in the Eastern Rites.

iii) Priests may give Confirmation to catechumens and converts.*

This Website editor’s note: *( Note that priests now (at least here, in this country) routinely administer Confirmation regularly to all – not just to converts and catechumens -(with the permission  of the bishop, when  the Bishop cannot make it to all the parishes). In fact, we consider it a privilege, if the Bishop; is able to do the Confirmation himself.)

3. Changes contrary to Vatican II:

i) Invalid Baptismal formulas without ‘Father’ and ‘Son’ or said by others as priest pours water.* ii) Some absurdities with RCIA: sending catechumens out at the Offertory (and catechists even missing Mass!); failure to instruct them in Confession.

iii) First Communion without first Confession contra  CCC  §145;

iv) First Communion delayed a year or two contra Cod of Canon Law c. 914 (cf. c.11).**

This Website editor’s note: *i) A few years ago, in another State, it was found that a priest had, for 20 years, been baptizing “In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer and the Sanctifier”. All these people had to be recalled and rebaptised.

iv) ** I made my First Communion at the Age of Reason i.e. at 7 yrs of age. My children and grandchildren were all at least 8 years old at First Confession, which is often up to a year before First Communion and often there is no ‘Second Confession’ before the Sacrament of First Communion.!) I have heard even of First Communion before First Confession.!!!

Reading for Today from the Book of Truth: ” On that day, I will gather the Living.”

+AMDG+

This message was the second one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The  first reading of the  JtM CPG meeting was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

2. On that day, I will gather the Living

19 November 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, in many Christian lives, I have become like an embarrassing relative who must be catered to, from time to time, but kept out of sight, at all times. This is how many of those who were born Christians, and who have fallen away from me, view me now.

I am of little consequence, and yet when they are in trouble, they will call out to me, involuntarily, because it is second-nature to them.

Why, oh why, can they not accept me? What has separated man from me? Why have My sacred Servants failed to bring them to me?

My suffering is the same today as it was during my passion and now those who have remained true to me will shortly desert me. They will do this because they will begin to re-evaluate their understanding of who, exactly, I am and what my Covenant truly means – all because of the heresies to come.

All homage to me, in My Churches, will soon be reduced to a mere nod in my direction. They will no longer genuflect before my tabernacles. They will not bow before me or kneel, nor will they pray before my corpus on the Cross, for it will not be my image they will be asked to venerate.

I will be scourged and made to look ridiculous. My words will be turned into the most peculiar verbiage and the truth of My Death on the cross will be thrown out.

My presence is still on Earth at this time.You must not desert me, for when you do, My Light will be extinguished and then you will become engulfed with darkness.

Only those who remain loyal to me can retain my flame and when the light of My Church on Earth is reduced to but just a faint glimmer – then the final call will be heard from Heaven. On that day I will gather the living. The remainder will be left with the enemies of God to whom they gave their allegiance.

No joy will they experience after that.

Your Jesus

These only and nothing else:

ii) Bible Readings – revised and spread over several years – SC§24 and SC§51.

iii) Homily emphasized SC§52

iv) Prayer of the faithful emphasized SC§53

xv) Saints’ dates changed

xvi) Altar girls and feminisation of the sanctuary.

3. Changes contrary to Vatican II

i) Disbelief in the Real Presence, i.e. ‘belief in the real absence’

ii) Altar breads sometimes with illegal or invalid ingredients

iv) Texts altered or manufactured

v) Laity joining in the priest’s parts: doxology, Eucharistic Prayer, even the consecration!

vi) No Communion plate and enforced communion in the hand.

vii) No translations of Entrance, Offertory and Communion psalms,  nor of Offertory verses.

ix) No Latin responses or Gregorian chant taught to laity : cf SC§54 and SC§114 (and no. 6 para therein).

x) Extraordinary Ministers used routinely, without necessity.

  1. xi) Dancing girls, antics, clowns.

This Website editor’s note::  Re vi) Words of Consecration changed *: Since the time this was published, the Reform of the Reform, which took years to complete, has been instigated. The words of consecration (…for many)  and ( …with your spirit); etc. The sad part, we all know, that with current events, the “reform of the Reform” will all have been for nothing!

Reading for Today from the Book of Truth: “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost.”

+AMDG+

This message was the first one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (An overview of the JtM CPG meeting was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

1. “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost

(16th  October 2014)

My dearly beloved daughter, hunger for food that feeds the flesh is a terrible affliction. But, hunger of the spirit, leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost.

When a soul distances himself from me, he will wander and seek out every kind of fulfilment. He will walk to the ends of the Earth, looking for spiritual calm and relief, but nothing can fill this void, only me. He may find temporary relief in all worldly pursuits of relaxation, but never will he find the peace that I can bring.

When I feed a person’s soul with my grace, they will be full of My Love and presence. Although my presence, within the soul, will draw down upon it the venom of evil spirits, who will do all they can to upset it, the soul will not care.

My Love is all you need to feel fulfilled, and my peace, which fills you, is not of this world. It comes with great blessings and the souls, who attain this peace, will never let go of it that easily, once they experience it.

When a person goes to extraordinary lengths to deny me, he is deceiving only himself. To deny me is your own choice. Why then display hatred for me, when you do not believe I exist?

I call on those of you, who are plagued with spiritual battles, to hear my voice as I call out to you now. If you deny me, then remain silent.Do not deny me and then curse me, for if you do this, you are contradicting yourself. You cannot hate something, which does not exist.

If you feel hatred of any kind, don’t you know that this comes from a source, just as love does? Love comes from God. Hatred comes from Satan.

The day when you realise that evil breeds and festers, as it uncoils like a serpent, you will see that it is a real entity. Only then you will finally accept the existence of the Devil. The reason he, Satan, is so cunning is that it is not to his advantage to make himself known.

Were that to happen, you would find it impossible not to believe in God. Open your eyes and see evil for what it is. Know that by denying me, the evil one will use you to fuel hatred against those who love me.

Your Jesus

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting, Tuesday, 3rd May, 2016

+AMDG+

Prayer Group Overview

Our prayer theme today: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will.

All the readings, chosen at random after a prayer to the Holy Spirit,are listed below. We will post each message in a separate post each day.  An overview  of the readings is presented below: 

The Readings today:

1. “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost (16th  October 2014)

2. “On that day, I will gather the Living” (19th  November 2013)

3. Bible:(RSV) 2 Chronicles 5: 2-7 

Overview of the readings:

In the first reading (see below), Jesus tells us of souls looking for fulfilment. He explains that there is only temporary relief in worldly pursuits. He tells us that His peace is not of this world – to be fulfilled, we only need His Love. Jesus describes the souls who deny that He exists, but who, at the same time, hate Him, or curse Him. He tells us that this hate is not logical because you can’t hate something that doesn’t exist. He tells us how the evil one uses people who deny Him to fuel hatred against those who love Him. He tells us that Love is from God, and that hatred is from satan.

Whilst in the previous reading, Jesus talks of the presence and absence of Faith in our souls,  in the next reading, we feel Jesus’ anguished cry “Why oh why can they not accept me?” He tells us that He is treated like an embarrassing relative, who is kept out of site. But these people will call out to Him whenever they are in trouble. He tells us of what is to come. His suffering today is that of His Passion. He asks why His priests have not brought to Him the souls who do not know Him. Jesus tells us that even the holy ones will soon desert Him, when the heresies are promoted. He describes how people will not genuflect or bow before Him, or pray to Him on the Cross (because His image will not be on it). He will be scourged and made to look ridiculous. Indeed, this is already happening. Jesus is getting us ready for the onslaught.

The final reading today was from the Bible. This seems to be more positive. It speaks of Solomon and the tribes of Israel (the remnant?) bringing the Ark of the Covenant, together with all the holy vessels. The Ark was in the most holy place, with priests offering sacrifice (of sheep). It tells us that the poles, which were very tall, could be seen from the holy place, but not from the outside.

(Could this be a follow -on message from the previous reading? Perhaps it speaks of the refuges where Jesus will still be present, with sacred vessels and true sacrifices. These could not be seen from the outside.) As the cherubim covered the Ark (in the O.T. reading), so will the angels protect Jesus’ presence in these holy refuges.

The reading also mentions “the seventh month”. This is a holy number- 7 sacraments, 7 gifts of holy Ghost, etc. We are not sure what this means. Our 7th month is not the same as that of the Jews – but, what we are sure of, is that these events are close.

Next post: Thought for the day: the first reading listed above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reading/Reflection for Today from the Book of Truth: “Democracy to Disappear – Priests will be Martyred”.

+AMDG+

This message was the fourth one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Thursday 28th April, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The third Reading was posted yesterday).

4. Democracy to Disappear – Priests will be Martyred

3 March 2011

O dearly beloved daughter, it is with joy that I welcome your attention this evening. Your absence has pained me somewhat, but I knew you would turn back to me soon. Please listen carefully. While I realize that you are busy with your life, you must understand the sheer urgency of this message.

My word is being given to you in the most historical era since the beginning. For it is in this time that the world will now experience changes never witnessed by mankind to date. Get ready now, My children, wherever you are in the world.

For very soon one of the most precious gifts, out of My Mercy, will now be given to each of you. My warning, which is being given to you, will spread conversion everywhere. When this takes place, after that moment in time when the Earth will stay still, love through the acceptance of the truth will be widespread.

Satan’s followers will find it difficult to defend their wicked behaviour, before the love and light that will shine through you.

But although the great event, which will startle you, brings much conversion, you must still prepare for it. Accept that this prophecy will take place. Very few will deny it both during and afterwards. Yet many will still continue to turn away from me.

The great persecution will follow. Priests will suffer My army of beloved followers will rise bravely and defend my existence. Yet even those who you least expect, including my Christian Church leaders, will side with the evil one and his parasites. They will be seduced due to their weakness of faith.

You will find that those Holy Vicars of mine, my loyal sacred servants, will have to defend their faith. The cruelty, which will be shown to them, will be similar to that I faced by my executioners.

Heed this all of you who follow me. Do not be tempted to follow the path of the traitors, even if you are frightened. Never fall for their false promises. Be brave. Pray for strength. Persecution won’t last long Brace yourselves, believers, for even those closest to you will turn away from the faith.

You may find yourself isolated, laughed at and publicly ridiculed. Ignore their taunts. I will guide you all and protect you, because this time won’t last long. The most painful suffering you will experience will be their disloyalty to me, to the truth. Non-Christian nations will control,

Prayer can help diminish some of the catastrophic events, which will unfold. The persecution, which will be inflicted on those of you who believe in me and my Eternal Father, will be by the nations who are empty of love. Love for God. The only love they hold in their hearts is for the power over less fortunate countries.

Control is their primary aim. Glory, and the pursuit of wealth and ownership over you, your country and those of you, who refuse to denounce me.

Give in, My children, and you will find it very difficult to back track or retrace your steps towards me. This will require tremendous courage in the face of powerful adversity, but win you will.

Should you suffer because of the passion you feel in your hearts for the Love of God, my Eternal Father, then you will accept this with joy in your souls.

Rise of new dictators

Sudden changes in global situations, which up to now seemed like trifle unrest, will now emerge as all out wars. Wars will lead to shortage of food. Democracy will diminish quickly and wicked dictatorships will rise. These dictatorships will, however, be very careful how they are perceived. They will come as peaceful negotiators and as “Saviours” In return for feeding your mouths they will control your possessions, which will then become theirs. You will have to get permission to feed your families. In order to travel you will need a special form of identification and will be asked to accept the mark – the mark of the beast.

Run, My children. Hide. For that’s not all. They will dictate how you pray because it is not to God they turn. These, My children, are Satan’s armies, and they want to steal your souls.

Those of you who believe in me, get ready. Go back to your Churches immediately. Pray to God the Eternal Father. Gather in groups and pray, pray, pray. Ask for reconciliation now, so that when you witness The Warning you will accept, with humility, the state of your souls. You will have nothing to fear.

Pray too, for your family and friends, your children, your neighbours. All of them need to prepare. So many will then be converted when they witness the truth of my existence. So many will not be able to withstand the shock when they see how they have offended me. Others simply won’t care.

The hours are ticking now. Ask me to help you Signs, all of which have been foretold, are around you, children. See them and accept them for what they are.

Uprisings. Earthquakes. Floods. Climate change. They will now escalate.Money is now becoming scarce so too will your food.

Do not believe that all is lost, for when you ask me for help, your prayers will be answered. I will hold you all by the hand and help you through this turmoil. But you must open your hearts. Block any attempt to seduce you into joining in the evil one’s plotting.

Retain purity of heart and mind. Be humble in your outlook. But never be afraid to defend your right to believe in me. Time to prepare your souls The time is ready.

Go now, My children, and prepare your souls. Seek, through the sacraments, the graces needed to sanctify your souls. Then ask me to take you in my arms and ask for salvation.

My Love and compassion for each and every one of you is beyond your comprehension. The Warning, one of the most gracious gifts I can give you all before the final judgment even takes place, must be welcomed by you.

Be thankful that you are being given this wonderful gift.Because when conversion takes place in every corner of the world, you will then be truly ready for the new Heaven and Earth, which will then merge as one – my Paradise and the glorious inheritance each one of you is entitled to share – should you so choose.

Await my warning now, My children.For the time is drawing very close now.

Your loving Saviour, Just Judge and merciful Jesus Christ

Reading/Reflection for Today from the Book of Truth: “The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God “

+AMDG+

This message was the third one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 28th April, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The second Reading was posted yesterday).

3. The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God.   (10 September, 2013)

My dearly beloved daughter, don’t you know that, as more of you follow My Messages, you will be tormented by those who wish to silence My Voice?

As this Mission continues, by the Command of My beloved Father, every effort will be made by those, especially in My Church on Earth who oppose these Holy Messages, to force you to stop following them. These objections will increase and every kind of twisted logic, arrogant denial of the Truth and falsified theology, will be used to drown out the Voice of God.

The more you are hated, My disciples, the more you are loved by God, because only those who follow Me and live their lives according to My Teachings will suffer in this way. If you are exalted, favoured and chosen by the world as a living saint, where no fault is found or the error of your ways publicly identified, then you are not chosen by God, for you defy what is expected of God’s servants. Without expressing the Truth and by twisting My Truth, in order to excel yourselves in the eyes of the world, you will be thrown to one side while I seek out My true servants. 

My true servants love Me and are moved by My Holy Spirit. Their sorrow, which is expressed in their eyes, because they suffer with Me, can be seen clearly by those who have been given the Gift of the Holy Spirit themselves. Never do these pure souls condemn others or try to block the Word of God, for they are incapable of doing this.

You must pray hard at this time – all of you – for these holy servants of Mine are under attack because of Me. I stand with them, but many will fall and crumble under the pressure to remain silent when they are forced to present to their flock the doctrine of lies to come.

Your Jesus

Reading/Reflection from the book of Truth for Today: Hear My Call and prepare for the pouring out of My Holy Spirit

+AMDG+

This message was the second one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Thursday 28th April, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The Bible Reading was posted yesterday).

For your reflection:

2. Hear My Call and prepare for the pouring out of My Holy Spirit

1 May 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, My Love for all of you means that I now pour the Holy Spirit, once again, over humanity, to entice them to open their hearts.

Many souls will feel the power of the Holy Spirit pour over them in mind, body and soul, very soon.

This is essential in order to wake up all of God’s children to the truth.

Some people will now see the world in a different way.

Then they will begin to question everything.

No longer will they be willing to remain slaves to masters, whose only goal is to control them, for personal gain.

No one will be able to ignore this pull of the Holy Spirit.

All of Heaven awaits, so that the moment of enlightenment will create a new dawn, a new beginning.

The lies you are being confronted with hide a master plan, born out of a world alliance, designed to control all of your countries.

By making your country rely on giants to feed their families you will become slaves.

Already they are taking away everything you own, but you are blind to this.

Now, with the gift of the Holy Spirit, millions will see through this mask of deceit and oppose these wicked, masonic controlled groups.

This gift will give you the armour you need to throw this army off the trail of your destruction. Hear My Call and prepare for the pouring out of my Holy Spirit.

Your beloved Jesus
