In Honour of the Most Holy Family (on their Feast Day)

AM+DG

Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the Novus Ordo liturgical calendar. It also happens to fall within the octave of Christmas 🎄 Although it is celebrated later in the Traditional Rite – January 12th, I could not wait to post this!
It is useful for reflection upon this Feast Day which honours that most special family which we can also now claim as our own family- and it helps us welcome the celebration of their relationship to us and one another, with love and joy- just as we welcome Christ at His Birth!

This is a message from our Mother of Salvation about the importance of families, from December 20th, 2014:

The Gift of Love is intensified at Christmas

My dear children, the love of my Son is never more prevalent than it is at Christmas.

At this time, during the celebration of His Birth, He floods souls with His love. It is at this time that you must live the love that was given to you, naturally, as children of God. You must cherish the Gift of Love, which comes from God and share this Gift with everyone you know.

The Gift of Love is intensified at Christmas in the souls of all God’s children and it is at this time you must acknowledge that love begins in the family. My Son was born into a family and this was for good reason. God manifested Himself – not as an individual sent on a mission, with no one close to Him, but within the Holy Family.

Love your families and forgive past transgressions. Love all those, including those who hate you. You can overcome hatred by sharing love and while this may be difficult at time, you will be stronger for it and at peace. Hatred is a negative emotion and drains the soul with a deep sense of unhappiness. It eats away at the core of the soul until it dies. Do not allow hatred to separate you from the Gift of Love, which is the most powerful grace, because it comes from God.

Love one another, as God loves each one of you this Christmas. Pray for those who have carried out any wicked act against you and ask my Son to relieve you of the burden of hatred.

God’s love in all its glory is witnessed in the family, which thrives on love. Such families, fortunate enough to feel love for each other, must spread this love to others who do not have love in their own lives. The person who are reared in a loving family, and who loves with a tender heart, touches the souls of others. This is how God’s Love is spread – from within the bosom of the family.

It was from the heart of a loving family, that my Son, Jesus Christ, set about in His Mission on earth to redeem man from sin. And so, this Christmas, I ask that you love one another and ask my Son to bless all families with the graces to love each other more.

The love that is present in a family can overcome all obstacles placed before it by satan. It is the family – the foundation of God’s Love – that is despised by satan. It is the family that is targeted by the evil one and he will do anything to destroy the family unit.

Love and unity in a family is a great Gift from Heaven and you must strive, always, to remain united at all times.

Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation.

Thoughts for the Fifth Day of Christmas: St John Henry Newman and the Lesson of Joy

AM+DG

(continued from yesterday’s post: Thoughts for the Fourth Day of Christmas)

The second lesson is that of joy, as Newman relates.

“Fear not,” said the Angel, “for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” And then, when he had finished his announcement, suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.”

Such were the words which the blessed Spirits who minister to Christ and His Saints, spoke on that gracious night to the shepherds, to rouse them out of their cold and famished mood into great joy; to teach them that they were objects of God’s love as much as the greatest of men on earth; nay more so, for to them first He had imparted the news of what that night was happening. His Son was then born into the world. Such events are told to friends and intimates, to those whom we love, to those who will sympathize with us, not to strangers.

How could Almighty God be more gracious, and show His favor more impressively to the lowly and the friendless, than by hastening (if I may use the term) to confide the great, the joyful secret to the shepherds keeping watch over their sheep by night?

Christmas is a day of great joy, one in which the poor and lowly of the world are lifted up and become heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven. No matter our social status in the world, God loves us and calls us back to himself.

This is the great joy of Christmas, which all the world can partake in.

Thoughts for the Fourth Day of Christmas: St John Henry Newman and the Lesson of Lowliness

AM+DG

 

St. John Henry Newman wrote in a sermon:

There are two principal lessons which we are taught on the great Festival which we this day celebrate, lowliness and joy … So that we have on the Feast of the Nativity these two lessons—instead of anxiety within and despondence without, instead of a weary search after great things—to be cheerful and joyful; and, again, to be so in the midst of those obscure and ordinary circumstances of life which the world passes over and thinks scorn of.”

Newman explained these two lessons in light of a passage from Luke where the angels bring “good tidings of great joy” to the lowly shepherds.

“Why should the heavenly hosts appear to these shepherds? What was it in them which attracted the attention of the Angels and the Lord of Angels? Were these shepherds learned, distinguished, or powerful? Were they especially known for piety and gifts?

Nothing is said to make us think so. Faith, we may safely say, they had, or some of them, for to him that hath more shall be given; but there is nothing to show that they were holier and more enlightened than other good men of the time, who waited for the consolation of Israel.

Nay, there is no reason to suppose that they were better than the common run of men in their circumstances, simple, and fearing God, but without any great advances in piety, or any very formed habits of religion.

Why then were they chosen? For their poverty’s sake and obscurity. Almighty God looks with a sort of especial love, or (as we may term it) affection, upon the lowly … To men so circumstanced the Angel appeared, to open their minds, and to teach them not to be downcast and in bondage because they were low in the world. He appeared as if to show them that God had chosen the poor in this world to be heirs of His kingdom, and so to do honor to their lot.”

“Fear not,” he said, “for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

This lesson of lowliness works in tandem with the words of Jesus, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).

God chose not to come as a rich king, riding triumphantly into Jerusalem, but as a poor man, born in an obscure place with no pomp and circumstance to accompany him.

He is a God of the poor and lowly, choosing to raise up those who have fallen.

2 Powerful lessons we can learn from Christmas, according to Blessed John Henry Newman

 

Thoughts for the Third Day of Christmas: Padre Pio’s devotion to the Christ Child

AM+DG

St. Padre Pio loved Christmas. He held a special devotion to the Baby Jesus ever since he was a child.

… Midnight Mass in particular was a joyous celebration for Padre Pio, who celebrated it every year, taking many hours to carefully celebrate the Holy Mass. His soul was lifted up to God with great joy, a joy that others could easy see.

Additionally, witnesses have recounted how they would see Padre Pio holding the Baby Jesus. This was not a porcelain statue, but the Baby Jesus himself in a miraculous vision.

Renzo Allegri recounts the following story.

We were reciting the rosary while waiting for the Mass. Padre Pio was praying with us. All of a sudden, in an aura of light, I saw the Baby Jesus appear in his arms. Padre Pio was transfigured, his eyes gazing upon the glowing child in his arms, his face transformed by an astonished smile. When the vision disappeared, Padre Pio realized from the way I was looking at him that I had seen everything. But he drew close to me and told me not to mention it to anyone.

A similar story is told by Fr. Raffaele da Sant’Elia, who lived next to Padre Pio for many years.

I had got up to go to the church for the Midnight Mass of 1924. The corridor was huge and dark, and the only illumination was the flame of a small oil lamp. Through the shadows I could see that Padre Pio, too, was making his way to the church. He had left his room and was making his way slowly along the corridor. I realized he was swathed in a band of light. I took a better look and saw that he had the Baby Jesus in his arms. I just stood there, transfixed, in the doorway of my room, and fell to my knees. Padre Pio passed by, all aglow. He didn’t even notice I was there.

 

These supernatural events highlight the deep and abiding love of Padre Pio for God. His love was further marked by simplicity and humility, with a heart wide open to receive whatever heavenly graces God had planned for him.

May we too open our hearts to receive the Baby Jesus on Christmas day and let God’s unfathomable love overcome us with Christian joy.”

Glory to the Newborn King!

AM+DG

A prayer to our King, born on Christmas Day

O most glorious, most holy, most adorable Infant Jesus, King of my soul!

Blessed be the hour in which your holy Mother will give you to me as my ransom.

O most beautiful above the children of men give me a heart all glowing with holy desires, love, gratitude, and ardent zeal, since it was for my sake that you were born on earth.

Give me the true spirit of your holy Nativity, a spirit of humility, silence, detachment, docility, meekness, and true and ardent charity.

Bless me then, divine Infant, as you did bless the humble and simple shepherds watching over their flocks; and let me ever remember that it is to the humble, simple, and faithful that you most willingly communicate your choicest gifts. Amen.

 A message of love  from our King

    (from Book of Truth)

Oh what joy it would bring Me were they to turn to Me on Christmas Day

22 December 2014 @ 8:45pm

My dearly beloved daughter, this is a message for the world, for Christmas Day.  As all of you celebrate My Birthday, allow Me to enter your heart on this special day – for this day is Mine. Invite Me into your home as a favoured guest and introduce Me to those amongst your family, friends and neighbours, who may have forgotten about Me. Christmas may be a celebration about Me, but I am ignored amidst the great rejoicings, which take place. Allow mention of Me to gladden your hearts, to bring you joy and to bring you hope for the future – a future I secured for you from the day I was born.

Remind those who no longer revere Me, of the love that I have for them and how I long to be part of their lives again. Oh what joy it would bring Me were they to turn to Me on Christmas Day and ask Me to bring them My Peace and My Love.  If they would come to Me on Christmas Day I would envelop them into the safety of My Divine refuge and never let them separate from Me again.

My beloved followers, you are My Family, and I am your family. Through My Mercy, I take you into the Bosom of My Beloved Father, who loves you with the passion of a tender-hearted parent. Oh how He loves you and how much pleasure He feels when you acknowledge Me, and call on Me, for My Help.

You mean everything to Me and My Love for you is all encompassing, way beyond your comprehension. It is therefore with a fiery compassion and fierce determination that I will fight for every one of you, to save you from the wickedness of My enemies. I guard your souls with great jealousy and will fight the good fight to bring you safe and sound into My Kingdom. No matter how I am opposed; how much Christians have to suffer humiliation in My Name; however much seduction is placed before you by My adversary – I will win this battle for souls. That is a fact for nothing can stand between God and His children for He will not permit it. The man who does, will be toppled. Hatred will be destroyed and lies will be revealed for the shallowness upon which they were created. The Truth will stand the test of time.

I am coming soon to unite God’s children – His precious family. Lift your hearts, do not allow My foes to dampen your spirit and let hope be your only thought. Have complete confidence in My Great Mercy and be ready to welcome Me, your Saviour and Redeemer, back into your lives.  Rejoice, for My Promises will bring with them a cause for the greatest joy. This Christmas will be joyful, for My Time is short.

Your beloved Jesus

and a message from God the Father:

God the Father: My Son is being sent to claim His Rightful Throne

24 December 2011 @ 6:00pm

”  …

Now that The Warning approaches, I Am also preparing the World, through these Holy Messages, to welcome My Son for the Second Time.

The Second Coming of My beloved Son is close, children. He is being sent to claim His rightful Throne when He will Reign as King of Mankind.

This Glorious Event will be spectacular and is the final part of the plan to save the human race from the evil that exists in your world. Satan will be cast away shortly. His followers and those wicked of heart will be shocked and dismayed. They will be expected to make a choice at that stage. Drop down and plead for Mercy and be saved. Or refuse the great Gift, which will be presented to them.

My children, unite all of you and do not fear ridicule. You are all being guided by the Holy Spirit and are being afforded the protection of the angels and saints in Heaven. It will be up to you, My followers, to proclaim the Word and promise of My Son, Who wishes for these Messages to be spread around the world.

It will also be through your prayers that lost sinners can be plucked from the arms of the evil one.

Children, you are in the early stages of the final battle. Your second chance of eternal salvation is being given to you through the Mercy of My dearly beloved Son. Don’t squander this opportunity. Join as one in union with your family in Heaven to save your brothers and sisters on Earth.

Rejoice this Christmas, for it will be a special celebration as you must now help souls prepare for The Second Coming of My Son, after The Warning takes place.

I love you all, children. Take my Love. Embrace Me, your Eternal Father, Who will do everything possible to take you all into the New Era of Peace.

God the Father”

Paganism: Book of Truth – 28th Sept. 2013

AM+DG

My True Church will be thrown out of Rome and will have to endure a number of years of desolation.

28 September 2013 @ 3:23pm

https://missionofsalvation.com/message-0925/

My dearly beloved daughter, always remind those who believe in Me, but who have no idea that My Second Coming draws close, that they must always be alert to the signs which were prophesied in My Father’s Book, for the time which precedes the Great Day.

The great apostasy is the first sign. This is when belief in the Truth – the Word of God – disappears and when sin is glorified in every part of the world. The sign for when My Second Coming draws very close is when the great apostasy grips My Church on earth from within. When you see those who say that they have been appointed by Me to lead My Church on earth engage in the secular world in order to gain favour, you will know that the changes have begun.  When you see the Great Sacrifice – My Crucifixion – being debated and new meanings attached to My Eucharist, you will know that My Church will be cast into the desert.

By My Church, I refer to those who do not deviate from the Truth and who continue, as before, to accept the Word of God. My True Church will be thrown out of Rome and will have to endure a number of years of desolation. It will be trampled upon by the heathen and will suffer, but by My Grace, it will remain intact and those brave souls who refuse to desert Me will be given extraordinary Gifts by Me. As the abominable, so called ‘miracles’, healings and gestures of false humility and love for humanity are witnessed in the shell of My Church, the true miraculous interventions by Me will be seen.  I will, through My Crusade Prayer Groups, make known to those who scoff and mock them, the Presence of the Holy Spirit. Many miracles will be bestowed upon My Prayer Groups and those who recite the Prayers as a gift to help My beloved disciples cope with religious persecution.

The persecution I speak of is mainly a spiritual one. My true disciples, and I mean all Christians, of every denomination, everywhere, will watch in great sorrow when they have to bear witness to the great deceit, which will descend over the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church will embrace the secular world and will declare mortal sin to be no more.  Sin will not be acknowledged and in order to deceive the innocent, they will be told that it is not difficult to enter My Kingdom. Confessions will stop in the present format. People will be told to ask for redemption in their own way, and as such, many will not then bother to ask for My forgiveness. They won’t do this because they will no longer accept that sin is caused deliberately and, because of this, that God will forgive all. This is the error which was foretold and which will lead millions into the fires of Hell and they will be led there by the false prophet and the antichrist.

Soon, all pagan feasts and festivals will be integrated within the Catholic Churches everywhere. Pagans and those who hate God will be invited onto the altars in front of the tabernacles. This feast will be declared to be the new form of Communion – all God’s children joining together in order to respect each other’s beliefs and human rights. You, My followers, will be asked to show respect for those who want to destroy My Presence in the Holy Eucharist. You will be accused of being anti-Christian if you do not embrace paganism. This is how you will all be fooled. This is how I, Jesus Christ, will be desecrated. They will do the same in schools, in order to banish Christianity. They will do the same in political circles, when everything to do with Me will be wiped out. No other religion will be targeted with such hatred. Christianity, because it is the Truth, will be destroyed.

What you do not realise is, that by becoming willing participants in this wicked desecration, that your souls will be darkened and in time you will forsake your own salvation.

Betray Me and I will forgive you. Deny Me and I will forgive you. But, when you desecrate Me and swear allegiance to the beast, you become completely separated from Me and you will find it impossible to accept My Mercy.

Your Jesus

The Smoke of Satan and the Fires of Hell

AM+DG

The smoke is no longer on the horizon – the fires are burning all around us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A while ago we posted “The smoke on the horizon”. Read it here:

https://remnantdisciplesjtm.com/2019/08/11/the-smoke-on-the-horizon-part-1/ 

Well now the fires are burning – in our land (in fact they are surrounding us) and in our church.

The conditions beforehand:

In Australia, we have had years of drought. Our farmers have had no rain, their crops, cattle and sheep have died despite the best intentions and efforts of people 1000’s of kms away, trucking fodder to the farmers.

On top of this there has been no significant rain this year – which means the soil is dry, and the grass and other vegetation is dry, and of course our eucalyptus trees explode into flame very easily.

Of course, we know that God is in charge of the weather. Why has this happened?

In recent years, we have seen horrendous laws against God spreading across our nation. Laws to recognize same-sex union, abortion until birth, euthanasia laws in some states, laws against the Seal of Confession, transsexual gender content in our schools….. In Sydney, for decades now, we have been ‘celebrating’ the gay Mardi-Gras parade through city streets each year – thousands go into the city to watch the pageantry. The TV hypes it up – shows the preparation for days beforehand, the actual parade on the day, recaps afterwards…

We always pray that there will be one of our summer storms – with rain and hail, thunder and lightening – to wash it all away and send them skeltering – but God doesn’t work that way. Some churches will have Adoration and Prayer vigils on the night that the parade occurs, trying to make some sort of restitution.

It is evident that we have lost sight of God and He is reminding us. We used to be a Christian Nation. The only thing that has not yet been successful is to remove the Lord’s Prayer from Parliament. They have tried a few times, but it is still there. Woe betide us if this happens!

The country is on high alert!

Well now the fires in Australia are burning – they are surrounding us. (see the map above) The country is ablaze – fires in every state. Never has there been so many fires and so many of them put on “catastrophic” list. Lives have been lost, and many homes. The fires came fast- in many cases without warning. a strong wind helped make it very unpredictable.It is unprecedented.

The farmers in the outback were already experiencing severe drought – no rain, no grass/feed for the cattle/ sheep and animals dying. Now more of their stock has been lost to the fires and many homes destroyed. We still had hope, but this will definitely cause a severe shortage of wheat and meat – a famine and huge price hikes in the cost of these foods.

Sign of God’s Wrath

This, no doubt, is part of the chastisements. One fireman in Qld. said it was like “the gates of hell”. They will blame it on climate change, but God controls the weather. We are helpless. About a week ago, there were intense fires spreading rapidly in northern NSW and Qld but there was a fall of snow at Mt Hotham in Victoria. (i.e. November, instead of usually between June and August).

These events are just one country but things are happening all over the world. We have done much to displease our God – His Hand has to fall in Justice in order to save his children.

People are waking up. Events in Rome during October – Paganism and idolatry in Vatican – supported  the (pope) FP and his cohort of bishops – has knocked us out of our comfort zone. We are experiencing God’s wrath. These events demand widespread Reparation by God’s faithful people.

As in the days of the Old Testament, we cry out to Him to spare us and to come soon.

The smoke is no longer on the horizon, the “fires of Hell” are lapping at our feet.

It seeks to destroy our lives and our souls.

and, as Pope Paul VI feared, way back in 1977 that “the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.”It seems he was correct.

Indeed, that smoke is now a raging  fire from Hell.

God’s Wrath:

In the Book of Truth, we are told:

  • 27 December 2012 @ 6:20pm

https://missionofsalvation.com/message-0654/

“…The time for the changes, as foretold, when the earth will turn; the planets will change and the climates will no longer be predictable, is upon you. …”

  • 11 February 2014 @ 11:41pmhttps://missionofsalvation.com/message-1044/“…I have begun the next plan to bring awareness to all of God’s children of the great new world, which awaits you and this preparation will be in stages. The first stage is purification. This will mean disruptions, climate changes, upheavals and a terrible apostasy, which will sweep the Earth. These will all take place at the same time. Then, My Church will fall and only the Remnant will hold on to the Truth and bear witness to My Holy Word. …”
  • 24 November 2014 @ 3:30pmhttps://missionofsalvation.com/message-1273/“… The earth, infested by their evil ways, will groan in pain and with this will be witnessed by a great upheaval. Every wicked act of desecration, which they will inflict upon My Body, will be manifested through changes in the climate, failure of crops, changes in the atmosphere and a deluge of such magnitude, there will be few nations on earth that will not be touched by their actions. My Father will inflict great suffering upon them. …”
  • 2 January 2014 @ 8:40pmhttps://missionofsalvation.com/message-1007/“… Many wars will now escalate and storms and earthquakes will mount, until the Roar of My Father’s Wrath is felt everywhere…”
  • 24 May 2014 @ 9:20pmhttps://missionofsalvation.com/message-1133/”...When the First Commandment is broken by My Church on Earth – the final bastion of My Father over His children – the world will witness the worst chastisement since the flood. Once paganism grips My Church, this will mark the final chapter.

    When God’s children love themselves and preen before Him, He weeps bitter Tears. But, when He is replaced in the hearts of all by paganism and a false god, His Wrath will be unprecedented. …”

  • 12 November 2013 @ 8:30pmhttps://missionofsalvation.com/message-0966/“… The first sign will be that the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Beside it you will see a second sun. Then the weather will cause the world to shake and the changes will mean that many parts of the Earth will be destroyed.

    Wars will spread; earthquakes will shake the four corners of the Earth and famine will grip mankind and every wicked gesture and insult made before God will result in a terrible chastisement. …”

 

 

Paganism: Messages from the Book of Truth

AM+DG

We will be posting  messages from the Book of Truth which speak about paganism in the Christ’s Church.  I think we were all shocked – so shocked as never before during this papacy. The events of Oct 4th- Feastday of St Francis will never be erased. But we were warned many times in the Book of Truth that this would happen. Countless events that were prophesied have come true. (see our prophecies fulfilled section – although there is much to update here.)

Many more things will take place – until the new World Church is established and based on paganism. In these messages, Jesus focusses on various aspects of paganism – how it will happen, who it will affect, the effects on individuals and what we must do to avoid being drawn in. God has always warned His people in times of danger through his prophets.  Over the next few weeks, we will be posting at least 30 messages.)

If you have not already read our post on the aforementioned events, you can do so at: https://remnantdisciplesjtm.com/2019/10/24/once-paganism-grips-my-church-this-will-mark-the-final-chapter/

A preview from Book of Truth messages:

Paganism will be enforced on all of God’s Churches and woe to the man who stands up to defend the Truth of God.”

“They will spread and promote paganism. God’s children, who accept their laws, and their teachings, will become infested with their evil ways. (10 October 2012 @ 9:50pm)

“It is not the collapse of the Catholic Church, which will soon become evident, which will divide the world. It will be their involvement in the creation of a New World Church, a one-world religion, which will introduce paganism and idolatry.” (13 Feb. 2013)

The paganism which has gripped humanity at this time is at its highest since before the time I, Jesus Christ, was born on earth.” ( 22 Feb.2013)

“The Word according to God will be pulled apart as paganism sweeps the Earth”(16 April, 2013)

“Paganism will thrive. But because it will be influenced and led by the evil one, it will be careful not to show its true colours. It will be presented to the world as a new form of social justice – a new form of humanism,…” (19 May, 2013)

When they curse God they hold black masses, many of which are held in secret and attended by powerful people, including those who say they serve God in His churches.” (21 June 2013)

Forewarned is fore-armed!
