54-Day Rosary Novena for the Arrival of the Great Pope

Some of us are doing a 54-day rosary novena starting Friday, July 23 and ending on September 14 (the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross and eve of Our Lady of Sorrows).

The intention is in response to Mary's request during the approved apparitions of Our Lady of Good Success. She appeared in the 15th and 16th centuries to Sister Mariana in the Conceptionist Convent, warning of times ahead (the 20th century) when things would look very bleak for the Church and the world:

“Unbridled passions will give way to a total corruption of customs because Satan will reign through the Masonic sects, targeting the children in particular to ensure general corruption...

“The sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with the Church, will be thoroughly attacked and profaned. Masonry, then reigning, will implement iniquitous laws aimed at extinguishing this sacrament. They will make it easy for all to live in sin, thus multiplying the birth of illegitimate children without the Church’s blessing….

“Secular education will contribute to a scarcity of priestly and religious vocations.

“The holy sacrament of Holy Orders will be ridiculed, oppressed, and despised, for in this both the Church and God Himself are oppressed and reviled, since He is represented by His priests.

“The devil will work to persecute the ministers of the Lord in every way, working with baneful cunning to destroy the spirit of their vocation and corrupting many. Those who will thus scandalize the Christian flock will bring upon all priests the hatred of bad Christians and the enemies of the One, Holy, Roman Catholic, and Apostolic Church. This apparent triumph of Satan will cause enormous suffering to the good pastors of the Church…and to the Supreme Pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth who, a prisoner in the Vatican, will shed secret and bitter tears in the presence of God Our Lord, asking for light, sanctity, and perfection for all the clergy of the world, to whom he is King and Father.

"Unhappy times will come wherein those who should fearlessly defend the rights of the Church will instead, blinded despite the light, give their hand to the Church’s enemies and do their bidding. But when [evil] seems triumphant and when authority abuses its power, committing all manner of injustice and oppressing the weak, their ruin shall be near. They will fall and crash to the ground...

“Then will the Church, joyful and triumphant like a young girl, reawaken and be comfortably cradled in the arms of my most dear and elect son of those times. If he lends an ear to the inspirations of grace–one of which will be the reading of these great mercies that my Son and I have had toward you–we shall fill him with graces and very special gifts and will make him great on earth and much greater in Heaven. There we have reserved a precious seat for him because, heedless of men, he will have fought for truth and ceaselessly defended the rights of the Church, deserving to be called ‘martyr.’”

“At the end of the nineteenth century and throughout a great part of the twentieth, many heresies will be propagated in these lands.…

“The small number of souls who will secretly safeguard the treasure of Faith and virtues will suffer a cruel, unspeakable, and long martyrdom. Many will descend to their graves through the violence of suffering and will be counted among the martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the country and the Church.

"To be delivered from the slavery of these heresies, those whom the merciful love of my Son has destined for this restoration will need great will-power, perseverance, courage, and confidence in God. To try the faith and trust of these just ones, there will be times when all will seem lost and paralyzed. It will then be the happy beginning of the complete restoration…

“Pray constantly, implore tirelessly, and weep bitter tears in the seclusion of your heart, beseeching the Eucharistic Heart of my most holy Son to take pity on His ministers and to end as soon as possible these unhappy times by sending to His Church the Prelate who shall restore the spirit of her priests.”


So we will be praying for this promised pope to come and restore the Church!

I am praying that the next Pope would come in the mold of Innocent III: young and not yet ordained a priest when elected, but had the most essential quality: Holiness.

I pray that the next Pope come from among one of the young, Holy priests around the world.

 

That would be wonderful!

 

You know...it's interesting...I was rereading through everything and Mary doesn't actually call the one coming to restore the Church a "pope." She refers to him as a "prelate." Could it be that a bishop is going to restore the Church? Have I been misinterpreting the prophecy? There WILL be a good pope in the future though, because she mentions a beloved prelate asking the Holy Father to return the Conceptionist Convent to the Franciscans. (This will happen shortly after the Church is restored.) Maybe I should edit the title of this thread to say "prelate" instead of "pope," in case it's not actually a pope?

I wonder if Bishop Schneider has studied Our Lady of Good Success?

 

It's interesting that Innocent III was not even a priest or a bishop at the time of his election. But he was a Cardinal:

"Pope Celestine III had been elected to the papacy in 1191 at the age of 85. In spite of his very advanced age, his pontificate lasted almost seven years. On Christmas Day, 1197 the 91-year-old Pope expressed the wish to abdicate the papacy on condition that his close collaborator Cardinal Giovanni di San Paolo would be elected the new pope. The cardinals rejected the suggestion as inconsistent with the rule that papal elections must be free ones. Shortly thereafter, on 8 January 1198, Celestine III died and the cardinals present at his deathbed immediately started proceedings for the election of his successor.

On the same day that Celestine III had died the cardinals assembled in Septizodium (or possibly in the nearby church of Santa Lucia in Septisolio) in the voluntary enclosure, as reported by pope Innocent himself on a letter on January 9th. This may have been done to guarantee safety and freedom in the election, given the presence and influence of the Germans in Italy. For the first time the electors voted by scrutiny (per scrutinium). Some cardinals were elected scrutineers; they counted the votes, recorded the result and announced it to the rest of the Sacred College. In the first scrutiny Cardinal Giovanni di Salerno received the greatest number of votes (ten), but declared that he would not accept the election to the pontificate. Ottaviano di Paoli also received three votes, but declared his own preference for Lotario. In the second scrutiny the cardinals united their votes in favor of 37-year-old Cardinal Lotario dei Conti di Segni, deacon of SS. Sergio e Bacco, who was the youngest of all the cardinals. He accepted his election and took the name Innocent III. The name was possibly chosen for him by cardinal Graziano da Pisa, as a means to supplant the memory of Antipope Innocent III. Another possibility (hypothesized more recently) is that he chose the name himself, maybe as a reference to his predecessor Innocent II (1130–1143), who had succeeded in asserting the papacy's authority over the emperor (in contrast with Celestine III's recent policy).

On 22 February 1198 the new pope was ordained to the priesthood and consecrated to the episcopate by Cardinal Ottaviano di Paoli, bishop of Ostia e Velletri, and solemnly crowned by Cardinal Graziano da Pisa, protodeacon of SS. Cosma e Damiano." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1198_papal_election ​

Please keep it up, holy people, I will join you on 15 August after my consecration.

 

Those who are praying this, please check in from time to time to keep this bumped! And anyone is welcome to jump in, any time.

My family is praying this not only for the hastening of the arrival of the great Prelate promised by Mary to restore the Church, but for a special protection for all of my and my husband's family from intrusive government control and communism. That we may be kind of hidden in plain sight, if it be God's will.
