Book of Truth – Prophecies Fulfilled – Part 2

+AM+DG+

B of T6. The Sacraments:

Prophecy:

“All the rules will have been changed; …the sacraments tampered with…” (September 7th, 2014)            

and also

“The second stage will come about when people are denied the Holy Sacraments, as they are meant to be.” (Prophecy from the Book of Truth 20th October, 2013)

Prophecy Fulfilled

 Eucharist, Holy Orders, Extreme Unction, Penance and Matrimony have all definitely been tampered with.

Eucharist, Penance and Matrimony:  “Amoris Laetitia”

People who have divorced and remarried (without annulment) , and others in “irregular” situations (such as those living together) may be able to receive Holy Communion, whilst living in adultery. This will have a ripple effect on the Sacrament of Matrimony, as well as on Penance and on the Eucharist. It makes a mockery of the Sacraments, of jesus’ teachings and of the Ten Commandments.

Eucharist:

  • Pf emphasizes that “unjust discrimination” against gays and lesbians is unacceptable, and he downplays the idea of “living in sin” and suggests that priests should use their own discretion on whether divorced Catholics in new marriages can take Communion. See CNN news at: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/08/europe/vatican-pope-family

In fact, because of his many (unofficial) utterances, many take it that those living in adulterous relationships can approach the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, if they want to.

The latter exchange came up during a prayer service on 15th November, 2015 at a Lutheran church in Rome that had invited the pontiff.

  • On 21st January, LifeSite News reported that after a meeting with the Pope, a Finnish group of Lutherans were given Communion during a Mass, where they were given Holy Communion, even though they had their right hand on their left shoulder. The Lutheran bishop Samuel Salmi said: ““I myself accepted it [Holy Communion].” He added that “this was not a coincidence”.

Penance:

  • Pope Francis ( in a Meeting with priests and deacons of Rome, February 11, 2016): “And here I recommend that you understand not only the language of the word, but also that of gestures. If someone comes to you and feels something must be removed from him, but perhaps he is unable to say it, but you understand … it’s all right, he says it this way, with the gesture of coming. First condition. Second, he is repentant. If someone comes to you it is because he doesn’t want to fall into these situations, but he doesn’t dare say it, he is afraid to say it and then not be able to do it. But if he cannot do it, ad impossibila nemo tenetur [no one is obliged to do the impossible]. And the Lord understands these things, the language of gestures. Have open arms, to understand what is inside that heart that cannot be said or said this way … somewhat because of shame … you understand me….. Often shame makes one mute and … The gesture, the language of the gesture. “

Can we receive absolution without confessing? That is not a true administration of the Sacrament.

Matrimony – (Effects of Amoris Laetitia)

  • LifeSite News Jan. 18th 2017: Anglican Ordinariate: No Communion for unchaste divorced and remarried couples; no ‘at peace with God’ exceptions
  • LifeSite News Jan. 19th 2017: Malta archbishop defends Communion for adulterers: We’re just following the Pope.
  • Remnant Newspaper Jan 19th 2017: Christopher Ferrara’s in ‘Stan Gets Stapled: Is Catholic Answers Becoming Protestant Answers?’ discusses AL and the document of the Maltese bishops: “Guidelines for the Implementation of Chapter VIII of Amoris Laetitia”  that the new pseudo-doctrine of “discernment” permits a Catholic to “discern” that he can receive Holy Communion without ceasing adulterous sexual relations, and that he must be allowed to do so:
  • Rorate Caeli 16th 2017: ‘URGENT – Bergoglian Persecution Begins: Priest is Suspended a divinis in Colombia for criticizing the new papal doctrine on Marriage and the Eucharist’ . On 16th Jan the Bishop of Pereira issued a decree that suspended Father Luis Carlos Uribe Medina from his priestly ministry because he “has expressed publicly and privately his rejection of the doctrinal and pastoral teachings of the Holy Father Francis, mainly regarding Marriage and the Eucharist.”

Holy Orders:

  • Headline: Vatican Approves ‘Transitory’ Gay Seminarians. com  December 8, 2016  

“ The Vatican’s new guidelines for seminarians is relaxing the rules on men with homosexual tendencies. While continuing to exclude from the seminary men with “deep-seated homosexual tendencies,” the new guidelines now allow in seminaries men with a “transitory problem” of “homosexual tendencies. The document, titled “The Gift of the Priestly Vocation,” was promulgated Thursday, December 8, by the Congregation for the Clergy.”

  • Archbishop of Santiago ordains two homosexuals to priesthood, knowing they were a couple        December 14, 2016

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain – A new low for the Catholic Church in Spain has been reached with the ordination of a homosexual couple to the priesthood by Archbishop Julian Barrio of Santiago de Compostela. These men, part of an ordination class of six, are not only active homosexuals but are in a public relationship with each other

Extreme Unction:

Mon Dec 12, 2016 ; on LifeSiteNews

Headline: Atlantic Canadian bishops approve last rites before euthanasia: ‘Pope Francis is our model’

“…The document, entitled A Pastoral Reflection on Medical Assistance in Dying and signed by 10 bishops, emphasizes pastoral care more than doctrine, Champagne told the Catholic Register.“Our concern is pastoral accompaniment. Pope Francis is our model,” he said.”

This is just the beginning!!!

Second stage of Schism – Prophecy Fulfilled

+AM+DG+

Are we at the second stage of the schism?

 “The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages.B of T

The first stage will be when only those who truly know Me, and understand the Truth of the Holy Gospels, will decide that they cannot accept lies in My Name….”

The second stage will come about when people are denied the Holy Sacraments, as they are meant to be.” 

 (Prophecy from the Book of Truth 20th October, 2013)

See article on First Stage of schism fulfilled at : https://remnantdisciples.wordpress.com/2016/11/29/the-dubia-schism-and-prophecy/

The Holy Sacraments of Eucharist, Holy Orders, Extreme Unction (Last Rites) are DEFINITELY NOT being administered in the way “they are meant to be.” (see prophecy above).

In the latter case,, while still excluding men with deep-seated tendencies, the rules have been  relaxed so that men with “transitory homosexual tendencies”. See fullarticle at the above link.

Would these examples below also count?

  • Pf emphasizes that “unjust discrimination” against gays and lesbians is unacceptable, and he downplays the idea of “living in sin” and suggests that priests should use their own discretion on whether divorced Catholics in new marriages can take Communion. See CNN news at: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/08/europe/vatican-pope-family

In fact, because of his many (unofficial) utterances, many take it that those living in adulterous relationships can approach the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, if they want to.

AND WHAT ABOUT CONFESSION?

  • “And here I recommend that you understand not only the language of the word, but also that of gestures. If someone comes to you and feels something must be removed from him, but perhaps he is unable to say it, but you understand … it’s all right, he says it this way, with the gesture of coming. First condition. Second, he is repentant. If someone comes to you it is because he doesn’t want to fall into these situations, but he doesn’t dare say it, he is afraid to say it and then not be able to do it. But if he cannot do it, ad impossibila nemo tenetur [no one is obliged to do the impossible]. And the Lord understands these things, the language of gestures. Have open arms, to understand what is inside that heart that cannot be said or said this way … somewhat because of shame … you understand me…..

Can we receive absolution without confessing? That is not a true administration of the Sacrament.

The Holy Sacraments will never be the same again, and this is only the beginning.

Are we at the second  stage of the schism?

Naboth’s Vineyard (and ours)!

+AM+DG+

1 Kings 21: 1-20

Naboth’s Vineyard: God confirms our discussion through a story.

When we opened the Bible reading of Naboth’s vineyard on Oct 20th, it was particularly pertinent to a situation that we just discussing before prayer group.

A fellow Crusader had been persecuted (by the majority) at an RCIA meeting for upholding the truth about practising homosexuals and the responsibilities of priests in not knowingly giving Communion to those in a state of mortal sin. And the same goes for refusing other groups or individuals who do not have the right to demand participation in the Sacrament, while remaining in mortal sin.

When we read this scripture of Naboth’s Vineyard, it spoke to me of this same situation.002-naboth-ahab

Naboth was a righteous man who refused to give his inheritance to Ahab. He believed he had no right to sell his inheritance at all. The inheritance was a vineyard which King Ahab thought he might use for a common vegetable garden. King Ahab was annoyed and petulant at being refused the plot that he wanted. His evil wife, Jezebel, concocted an evil plot to get rid of Naboth and take over the vineyard, which they fulfilled with the help of unrighteous men.

In this case, I thought the vineyard represents the Holy Eucharist (and the Church: Her traditions and Magisterium) which is our inheritance. We have no right, like Naboth proclaims, to give it away. This makes some people angry and somewhat petulant; that we will not give what is Holy (the Vine; which is Jesus’ Body and Blood in the Eucharist and the vineyard: His Church) to those who stubbornly remain in a state of mortal sin and are therefore not entitled to receive of the Sacraments.  It rouses them to plot and plan ways to take what they are not entitled to.

PF was also annoyed that the plot to change the conditions for reception of the Eucharist at the Synod, failed. The common vegetable garden represents the intention he really has, which is to replace The Lord’s Vineyard’, with common bread by changing the words of The Consecration and deviating the meaning in the hearts and minds of followers and in the Church practices.

Notice what God draws attention to next…

Afterwards though, the Lord sent Elijah the Tishbite to meet Ahab at the vineyard as he was about to take possession of it, telling him to say, ‘You have already committed murder, do you now also dare to take possession of what is not yours?’

Continuing this interpretation, the sin of murder represents all mortal sin, and by inference all those in an unrepentant state of mortal sin!

Do you dare…? He says, through Elijah.

Those in a state of mortal sin are warned by God that they should NOT take possession of what is not theirs for the taking– adding Sacrilege to mortal sin. The passage continues with a warning prophesy against Ahab:

Then say to him, ‘This is what the LORD says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’ ”

20 Ahab said to Elijah, “So you have found me, my enemy!” “I have found you,” he answered, “because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD”.

We cannot hide from the Lord if we do evil, even if we think our desire is a ‘reasonable request’ or a ‘wise move before men’.  The priest must not acquiesce to ‘Jezebel’s’ pressure (in the dissenting congregation) but respect and protect the Eucharist and our inheritance; in fact the whole of the Church’s Teaching, Magisterium and Her Traditions.

We must be ready to resist the current ‘king’ (pope and other church leaders) even through false accusation and death, as Naboth did, and also to fulfil our role like Elijah the Tishbite, when we are called to do so.

We must unveil the plans and deeds of wicked men, warn them in the Name of God and admonish them.

Sowing division in the Church… PF’s (FP’s) homily – The REAL source of division.

+AMDG+

st-wolfgang-and-devilMy daughter emailed me and said: “This article is deceptive and needs comment! It is FP who attacks the Body of Christ and true teachings/True Christ but instead, like the devil, he turns everything on its head! This needs exposure. I’m hoping you can do an article?”

Well, this article and another one (Pope Francis evangelise with your whole life – don’t proselytise on Sept, 9, 2016) sure put the fire into me! I will only comment on the first article. I didn’t know what to write, but here goes.

The original article was “In his homily at morning Mass, Pope Francis told the faithful Monday that Satan is out to divide the Church by sowing ambition, jealousy and greed among its members.” by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.12 Sep 2016 at http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/09/12/pope-francis-devil-wages-dirty-war-destroy-church/.

I will reproduce the article in black, with my response under each paragraph in red and Donna Liane’sresponse in light blue.

________________________________________

(The Headline) In his homily at morning Mass, Pope Francis told the faithful Monday that Satan is out to divide the Church by sowing ambition, jealousy and greed among its members.

He usually aims accusations like these, for some reason, at Traditionalists. And when he can’t, he aims it at everyone in the Church- without basis. If he wants to name Bishops, cardinals etc doing that, then he would have to name his own! As far as Traditionalists and the ordinary devoted laity go: What ambition; except for Christ? What jealousy- except to guard the Holy Eucharist with singular love and devotion? What greed, except to secure the maximum number of souls for Christ and His Heavenly Kingdom?

If it’s Satan who is out to divide the Church, then who is Satan using to cause the division; to bring in ideas and practices that are contrary to Christ and His teachings?

Commenting on the Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians, where Paul reprimands the early Christians for their quarrels, factions and infighting, Pope Francis said that “the devil has two powerful weapons to destroy the Church: divisions and money.”

In the church of today – guess who started the divisions?! Guess who introduced divisive theories and tactics? E.g. at the Synod. How is money causing division in the Church? I have no idea what he is talking about. He talks about the poor, and economic inequities … is that what he is talking about? He is just making a ridiculous assertion, that the enemies of the Church will grab hold of, and applaud. People don’t see the Marxist bent – the communism that Our Lady of Fatima warned us against.

On the one hand, the Pope said before a group of faithful in the chapel at the Saint Martha residence where he lives in the Vatican, divisions destroy the Church by attacking its unity. This happened from the beginning, when “ideological and theological divisions tore at the Church.”

Ideological and theological divisions stem from the people who do not want to accept the Faith as it was handed down by Christ to His Apostles with the authority of The Holy Spirit. They want to change the Faith, to suit modern society. Unity is important, but not at the expense of Truth! If you substitute your own ideas, and promote them as being an improvement, you are saying that you know better than God! This is a human-based Church – it is blasphemous and contrary to the unifying Truth found in the Church of Christ.

The devil engages in a “dirty war” by sowing divisions, the Pope said, “like terrorism.” In this way, he spreads “jealousies, ambitions, ideas, but to divide!” he said.

What? Did I hear right? That doesn’t make sense. Who is jealous? What a ridiculous idea. In fact this man continually speaks badly about the Mystical Body of Christ – (jealousies, ambitions, greed). This is blasphemous – the Mystical Body of Christ is sacred, with Christ as the Head. It’s a “dirty war” alright where Francis sows divisions and then blames everyone else. Interesting comparison FP uses: Terrorism controls people through fear. Guess who are silent through fear at the moment? Are all the good faithful Bishops, Cardinals and priests afraid of speaking up against Francis? He has been called a ruthless dictator by those within. He has harshly criticized, silenced dissenters, disbanded, replaced or exiled them. This is the future that good faithful shepherds can look forward to.

These divisions in the Church, Francis said, “do not let the Kingdom of God grow and they do not present the Lord as He is.”

“…present The Lord as He is”? Does he mean ‘merciful’? FP’s mercy is false mercy – mercy without repentance. This is not the true Church. I guess he wants the Kingdom of God to grow with this false mercy. This won’t grow anything except the new One World Church. It is the “church of darkness” as described by Venerable Abp. Fulton Sheen and other saints. When The Lord is presented as He truly is, we see that He is Justice and Mercy and that He is all Holy. He tells us to ‘go and sin no more’.

Satan’s attacks aim to strike the Church at the very center of Christian unity, “the Eucharistic celebration,” Francis said.

All twisted – again!! An attack against the Blessed Eucharist! The CCC teaches that the “Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life.” The Christian Life is not the same as Christian Unity – especially the unity that FP is talking about. This echoes recent events where the Eucharist is being abused as a tactic to allow divorced and remarried people (who do not have an annulment & continue unrepentant in mortal sin) to come back to the Church. He is promoting blasphemous Communion, which St Paul spoke very strongly about. It is he who attacks The Eucharist. The Christian life is based on Christ’s teachings. If a Church teaches something that is against Christ’s teachings, then it is NOT a CHRISTIAN teaching. (e.g. Amoris Laetitia). Our Church teaches faithfully and he seeks to undermine.

He noted Paul’s criticism of the Corinthians who made distinctions between rich and poor even during the Eucharistic celebration. In contrast, Francis said, Jesus “prayed to the Father for unity.”

Yes, unity in Christ’s teachings – i.e. as passed down in His Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, If you follow Christ’s teachings, you are Christian. If you want to make your own rules and adapt Christ’s teachings to the modern world, then you are not Christian. Jesus prayed that all would be one, as He and the Father are One. Unity can only be achieved through The Blessed Trinity.

“But the devil tries to destroy it,” he said.

He sure does! He is cunning, and manipulative, appeals to our vanity and pride, and twists the Truth.

“I ask you to do everything possible not to destroy the Church with divisions, whether they are ideological, or stem from greed, ambition or jealousy.”

This is just what the FP is doing!! (Communion for divorced and remarried; Communion for Lutherans; acceptance of homosexual behaviours, acceptance of adulterous behaviour and fornication …) He claims that we destroy ‘the Church’ with our divisions, which he has, in fact,  himself caused. And then he calls us divisive if we won’t follow the counter-church he seeks to grow from within! Ahh, he is a clever devil!

“And above all, pray and guard the source, the root of unity of the Church, which is the Body of Christ,” he said.

Yes, let’s pray for the unity of the Church, the TRUE church, the Church that is built on Christ’s teachings, and not on the adaptations of man.

____________________________

PF is the FP – that’s for sure. He turns everything on its head –and twists the Truth.

There is another much more academic response to this homily of the FP. It is from Robert de Mattei at :

http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-real-source-of-division-in-church.html 

and is entitled    “The Real Source of Division in the Church”.

His concluding paragraph states:

“Divisions however, have their source in the two-forked language of the Devil and are defeated most of all by the truth: the truth of the Faith and morality, but also the truth of language and behaviour, which means renouncing all lies, falsification and reserve, following the teaching of the Gospel “[…] let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of the evil one.” (Matthew, 5 v 37)

A Eucharistic Sign on the Feast of Our Lady of the Angels

On Sunday August 14th, I was at a Novus Ordo Mass  at Our Lady of the Angels  for the second time in a month. It’s not my home parish and the celebrating priest was different on each occasion.  Something unusual, most likely miraculous occurred.

At the beginning of August, as the priest held up the large white Eucharistic Host for adoration at the Consecration, I noticed a soft but marked golden glow, emanating from the centre, diffused to the edges. I rationalized that there were many candles and lights shining upon the beautiful altar and that it must have been that the light from one of the many sources that lit up the Host from behind, although I did wonder if that was true…

A fortnight or so later, a different priest, unfamiliar to me celebrated the Mass. I had been to Confession about an hour before Mass and they had brought a beautiful statue of Our Lady out to the front of the Church to accompany a Eucharistic Procession planned for after Mass. Later, I realised that it was actually the annual Feast Day of Our Lady of the Angels, on which the church who bore the same namesake, was celebrating that very day.

It was at a later point in the Mass this time, when I noticed something breathtakingly remarkable; what I believe to be a Eucharistic Miracle. This time the priest held in his hands, a small white consecrated Host. This time there was, taking up almost the entire Host, a very bright, golden glow, leaving only a white rim for an edge. It was striking and beautiful; I felt amazed but I dared to rationalise again, “Look how the candles light up the Host and make it glow so beautifully. How amazing that the light hits it in that exact spot..must be a deliberate architectural intention…”, until the priest bent over a little and moved the Host down, still in his hands, to then receive The Blessed Sarament into his mouth and the bright golden glow remained intact, not even even flickering or wavering. This act took mere seconds but the significance of what I had witnessed was profound. I went to Holy Communion and knelt to receive Our Lord on the tongue, feeling moved, but trying to hold it together. After thanksgiving prayers, I did not immediately tell my eldest daughter who returned to my side anything, but by the last hymn, Amazing Grace, we were both shedding tears, moved by inexplicable Grace. At first she thought it was just the hymn or the Mass as a whole  overwhelming me; as she felt but I explained later.

If I compared what I saw in terms of ‘the emanating glow’ to anything remotely similar, I would refer to a photo/video I saw of the Eucharistic Miracle at Garabandal 1962, which is imprinted upon my memory. In the photos that I have seen the Communion Host that appears on Conchita’s tongue, seems to glow with a bright, white light.  The difference here is that the Host shone with a bright, deeply golden light instead, from It’s centre. For those who believe,  in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, no further explanation is necessary. For those who do not, this is certainly not the first or only Eucharistic Miracle, which you will find if you search the topic. It is a belief which is biblical and can be understood- with the eyes of the soul through the assistance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Our Blessed Saviour and Mighty King Who humbles Himself to become Food for our Soul.

A Sign on the Feast of Corpus Christi

+AMDG+

Last Thursday (26th May 2016), there were about 8 of our Crusade Prayer Group at Mass in the morning. After Mass and Adoration, we have our weekly Prayer meeting at a prayer group member’s home. It was the Feast of Corpus Christi (according to the Traditional Calendar). Two of the prayer group members (L. And E.) were kneeling next to each other with a space between them. Unknown to the rest of us, something happened during Mass. L told E. later, that she felt someone brush past her just at the Consecration. She felt it on her upper arm and a wisp of her hair also seemed to just fly up near her face.

Now these spiritual occurrences are not new to our prayer group. Over the last few years, we have had varied experiences (which you can read under ”Signs and Wonders”). About 2 hours later, the prayer group was assembled at my house for the meeting at my place. As it was Corpus Christi, we said the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. I was sitting behind, and to the side of my daughter. Her little boy would sometimes come in to whisper something in her ear, then walk back out to play. He can always be heard.

 On this occasion, while praying the 5th Luminous Mystery –  the institution of the Eucharist , I felt someone brush past me, against my left upper arm. I was kneeling, (L. was also kneeling that morning at Mass). I had my eyes closed, but I didn’t open them, as I did not want to be distracted from my prayer.  I thought  that maybe it was my little grandson, but I thought that he was very quiet – I realized I didn’t hear any footsteps.

I didn’t say anything. I thought that whenever something happens, someone else always notices something. We always stay and chat, but no-one mentioned anything.It was on my mind, however, and 2 days later, I decided to ask E. whether she had noticed anything unusual at the Prayer Meeting. She told me to be specific. I told her what happened. She was surprised. She told me what had happened to L. at Mass on the Thursday morning at Mass. It was the same experience!

We were both motivated to tell the same person about our individual experience.

We were both kneeling at the time.

We were both focussed on the Eucharist.

We both felt the ‘brushing past’ on our upper arm – we were kneeling, (He) was walking past us.

It was a special Feastday. It seemed that he Lord wished to impress upon us the importance of, and the Real presence in, the Holy Eucharist. Perhaps we need to make more reparation against blasphemies and sacrileges against the Blessed Sacrament. Interestingly, the prayer  theme for the day was “Special Graces”. We indeed are very blessed.

Thank you Lord for being with us and guiding us.

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory!!!

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting, Tuesday, 10th May, 2016

+AMDG+

Our prayer theme today:  Discipleship

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

1. Bible: (Douay Rheims) 1Cor.1:30 – 1Cor 2:1-16

2. Good Friday is the Day I desire, and this year, especially, to be remembered for what it really means    (5 April 2012)

3. I died for you. Because of this you must trust Me now    (19 December 2012)

Prayer Group:  Overview of the Readings

The Bible reading from St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians talks of wisdom, which comes from God.It speaks of the Spirit which is in us (that comes from God)and that helps us to discern spiritual things. St Paul, as a disciple teaches us of what is important as a disciple and how we need the wisdom that comes from God, not an earthly, sensual wisdom. The Spirit of God helps us to “know the things that are given us from God”. He reminds us of our reward “That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.” The reading  talks of St Paul teaching “Christ crucified”

The second reading (from the Book of Truth) is also about the Crucifixion. Jesus tells us that His death was a very special gift to us, as also at the last Supper, when He gave us another special and unique gift – that of being able to receive Him in Holy Communion.  He tells us that  receiving Holy Communion at Mass strengthens our Faith.

Jesus asks us to accept His gifts – to accept Him – to not deny Him or forsake Him. He asks us to reflect on the REAL truth of his teachings. This reading is very appropriate at this time when His teaching about the Eucharist is being twisted (Amoris Laetitia).  He tells us that we have to accept the Crucifixion (that He died for our sins) as well as the gift given to us at the Last Supper (i.e. the Eucharist). He gives us a warning – that  if we don’t we will starve our souls of the food of life.

The last reading again talks of the Crucifixion that He died for us and that we must trust Him. Jesus again asks us not to turn away from Him; that we must not doubt the prophecies and that we (as disciples) must impart every single word of them. Jesus warns us that we will be bullied to reject the messages and to reject the truth as heresy. (In other words, we must be very clear what is Truth and what is heresy.) Jesus tells us that evil spirits will torment us and pull at us.

Jesus tells us never to give up and that He will embrace us to give us the courage we need!

The theme for today was “discipleship”, and indeed, the readings chosen for us by the Holy Spirit today emphasized our role as disciples – what we must do and what we will face and how Jesus will support and strengthen us.

 

 

A passing thought and the Holy Spirit to guide us.

It never ceases to amaze me how Jesus is really with us all the time as He promised to the Prayer Groups. Sometimes, it is just a passing thought and you disregard it. But we have to listen  and identify the Holy Spirit speaking to us.

When my daughter has a thought, she jots it down in an email to me. Her mobile phone is ever with her. Before she goes to bed (usually late at night) after a busy day with her children, she opens up a book (Bible, Saints, Book of Truth, etc) at random to see what God might say to her. Following is an example of what happened yesterday. God is really trying to lead us and reminds us to prepare.

Sun 20th Sept. 2015
Early in the day:
My daughter, sent me this message in an email:

“I’ve been thinking about the feeding (the Eucharist) for 1290 days. We need to order communion wafers for our own families under our roof. If more come, we will share what we have. I’m thinking I’ll need about 2000 wafers minimum. And/or we learn to make them? At least they can’t be found or uncovered if they aren’t stored…? “

In the evening of that day:

My daughter  on opening up the Book of Truth Book 2, besides the first reading, which related to a TV show she had seen earlier, she looked at the reading above it, which related to her email to me earlier in the day.

“And by the way, mum, remember my earlier prompting tonight about preparing for the Eucharist for the times ahead, which I emailed you about? The second place my eye fell was the reading before it:

Book 2 (P 294) Extract below: (From message of June 1 2012 “The Seal of the Living God, My Crusade Prayer33 is your lifeline.”)

“The rest of you must plan to protect your family and your allegiance to the Holy Eucharist and the Mass…My Masses must continue.
Those of you who know this, must gather in numbers now and start the preparations. The sooner you prepare, the more graces you will be given to grow your ranks around the world.”

And the message ends with:
“This is why you must ignore the obstacles presented to you; the persecution, the pain, the horror of evil by the hands of others.
All that matters is the saving of souls.
Your Saviour Jesus Christ.”

You see, it wasn’t a random thought. Jesus was reminding us that we must prepare – not only for the provisions of food, but for the Bread of LIfe – the Eucharist and the Holy Masses.

Amongst our prayer group, we have 2 or 3 homes who are indeed preparing for this. Some of us have donated to others, so that we will have a choice of places to go to, and a back up if something happens. Amongst us, we have vestments and sacred vessels. One person has a tabernacle. But none of us have bought any communion hosts yet – we have all mentioned it several times, but not done it yet. Here is God reminding us of what is important.

Regarding the Communion hosts, my daughter wondered if we could make them. But we need to research this – I know there are special requirements regarding the ingredients that are used, and we need a special thing (like a waffle iron). I don’t know what it is called. Apparently this is the old way of doing it.

So there is lots to think about and plan for. Let’s not leave it to the last minute.

Let’s try listening to the inner promptings of the Holy Spirit.

Pilgrimage Part 8 cont.- Eucharistic Adoration and other activities

12th July

Eucharistic Adoration and other Activities

Yesterday, after Mass in the morning, we went back to hotel and ‘veged out’ because we were exhausted from the previous day.

We found out at short notice that Ivan would broadcast his recent message.
We had radios that translated it into various languages – we just had to tune in. What stands out from his message is “Before you can pray really well, you have to pray more often.” After his talk, the parish priest gave a sermon – also with translations. He is also a very humble and holy man. He enlarged on Ivan’s topic from Our Blessed Mother.

In the evening, we went down to the church and went to Confession to one of the many priests there. We went inside the church just as a wedding was ending so we said a Hail Mary for the new couple. We took a picture of the beautiful statue of Our Lady outside.

20150711_212932(0)We went outside because we heard beautiful singing. Around the statue of Our Lady was a crowd of people – maybe a few hundred – singing hymns. There was a man with a trumpet, and a man with a guitar and 2 nuns and 2 priests leading the singing.

We all swayed and waved our arms or held hands. We couldn’t understand the words but we could feel the meaning. Some were to Our Lady and some to Jesus. This was at 9 o’clock at night.

You could feel the love. When it finished, we went over to the large outside area as Adoration was to start shortly. It seemed like just a few hundred people Outside seating empty before Adorationinitially but, within 10 minutes, the place was packed with people. Every seat was full – 2 or 3 times as many as for the Adoration the night before.  There were maybe 4000 people or more.

As before, there was a respectful atmosphere.  Blessings from heaven just pour out onto this place. No-one spoke or moved.  Adoration was from 10pm to 11pm. The format was as the night before: short paragraphs of spoken text in 6 different languages; a short silence; then a chant – also in 6 different languages. This lasted for an hour.

This place is so holy and the people who come here so full of faith.

The monstrance was huge and the Host
as big as a bread and butter plate. A light behind the host illuminated it.

I would not have missed any of this for the world. What a blessing to be here! And to see so much Faith and love.

 

Receiving Jesus’ Heart – Corpus Christi

(Jesus says)
“…The Eucharist is the Heart of God.

It is My Heart.

I gave you My Heart at the Last Supper.

I always give it to you, provided you want it…

When in a woman’s womb a child is formed. What is formed first of all?

The heart.

So it is with the life of the Spirit.

You will not give the Christ unless you form His Heart in yourselves by loving the
Eucharist –which is Life and true Life…

I communicate … pulsations to your hearts when you receive Me.

Your carnal and intellectual heaviness does not let you perceive them, but I give them to you.

Open yourselves entirely to receive Me…

My Heart is a living Eucharist.

Where does love start from?

From the heart.

What is the Eucharist?

It is love.

When you think then of the Eucharist, you can say to yourselves,

“This the Heart of Jesus’ Heart”…

(Maria Valtorta, 1944)
