Father Michel Rodrigue Facebook Post about the Warning.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here with anyone, I'm new. All I ask is that let's hold back our temperament. So much sadness in these times, people out of work, violence at home because of stress. Let's take a moment to reflect. Especially us...who have been blessed to either be born Catholic or to those who have come to the faith, through the Holy Spirit.

I won't mince words. This priest's prophecies are TERRIFYING. I have a 19 month old and a wife, we are just getting started in our lives. I hope that he's wrong, but what if he isn't wrong? What so terrible that he's exactly asking of us? Really?

To consecrate ourselves to our Holy Mother, to clutch our Rosaries, to ask the Lord for Mercy? The message is terrifying...and let's say it doesn't happen. So what if I have I been duped...Should I regret my consecration to Mary and all the prayers I've made on behalf of my family and humanity?

I get it...the other side of his prophecies if true are DEEPLY disturbing and I can't really wrap my head around what planet earth will look if these things do come to pass. Will my wife, child and I make it? Maybe not. Is it no wonder that my mind recoils at the thought....and perhaps...JUST PERHAPS could it be that my natural inclination or human nature is to look for inconsistencies and to brand this priest a LIAR. That is definitely easier to digest than contemplating the possibility of the world changing as I know it. It has been pointed out that this priest says in October to expect something to happen. A bit vague I know...but he has boxed himself in and come October we will know a bit more.

I hope he is wrong...but I pray for you, me, my family...all of humanity. Let the Lord's Will be done.

 

Sorry Knight, but I’m not playing your game. I’m not the one being discerned on this thread. And the person who is being discerned has been found to be untruthful - by his own Bishop.

The facts have been presented in a very logical and objective way. No one can make you see them if you choose to not to.

I have very thick skin, but I do take offense and get defensive when you accuse our fellow members in good standing of being unchristian.

Again, shame on you for bullying good members here for stating obvious facts.

 

Thank you Knights. Will be praying for you and your family too.

 

Frodo bullying? Really? This is how I see it, again correct me if I'm wrong:

Some folks in this thread: Fr. Michel Rodrigue is a LIAR. No two ways about it. No misunderstanding just a flat-out liar. IMPOSSIBLE for there to be a misunderstanding. <-That's a major accusation.
Me: Wait...let's not jump the gun here, let's not accuse a man...who can't defend himself to be a liar.

PLEASE FRODO...correct my two statements above if I'm wrong. And how again is stating the two positions, bullying?

 

The bottom line is this: without a "worthy of belief" formal declaration from his Bishop, Fr. Michel's prophecies have no more legitimacy than yours or mine. He's a priest in good standing, incardinated in a different diocese than the one where he has been working. That doesn't make him a prophet, especially one whose visions/locutions have been declared by his Ordinary to be worthy of belief.

What I find amazing is that neither the author of the book nor the people controlling the website checked with the Bishop to find out whether he had actually been informed and approved of Fr. Michel's visions/locutions, etc. An email was all it took for some random person to find out where the Bishop stood.

As a matter of interest, how did you hear of Fr. Michel? I had never heard of him until threads about him were started here, which happened shortly after there was a thread promoting that Countdown to the Kingdom website.

 

Your profile says you have been a member since 2018.

 

There were some posts about him here in the Fall of 2019.

 

Thanks. If I read them they didn't make a lasting impression on me. Thank God for small mercies.

 

No ones calling anyone a liar. Many of us are just trying to find out if visions are real or not.

It’s the same thing that happens when the Vatican debates Sainthood. Two groups are asked to debate.

No one should take this too personal. I still haven’t seen or been given proof that Father has said anything wrong.

So, let’s not get too hung up on all this.

It’s interesting to me because I still don’t see the problem. And if God sent us a jovial saint at the end of days. That would be real entertaining.

don’t stress my brothers and sisters it will all work out.

 

My Brother Padraig and Sisters and Brothers,

Asking about the holiness or spirituality of Fr. Rodrigue is perhaps one of the most pertinent points that have been brought up here because it cuts though a lot of clutter to get to something that is very simple, yet essential. To be a man of God (especially of the type that Fr. Michel is positioned as), you have to know Him, Love Him, Adore Him, Glorify Him, and Trust in Him completely. This should then be reflected to others in a very natural and easy way to understand. If he loves God the Father, if he is in complete communion with Jesus Christ and His Cross, and if He exudes the Love of the Holy Spirit as a type of living prayer, then just because we don't know much about his spirituality, it does not mean that we cannot glean the simple truths that Brothers and Sisters in Christ can recognize.

I will look at 2 areas that are a reflection of Fr. Michel's relationship with God, 1.) What is the spirituality of the Apostolic Fraternity of St. Benedict Joseph Labre? and, 2.) What type of spirituality is necessary to be an effective, active exorcist is the Diocese of Amos?

The spirituality of Fr. Michel must surely be reflected in the Fraternity of which he is the founder. Can you imagine back in times past when someone like St. Benedict or St. Francis founded their Orders', what would happen if they said to their followers, "This is how you are to live a holy life, as for myself, I get to do my own thing." The only way that might work, is if the founder chose a life that was even more strict than he/she wanted for his/her religious. In other words, if God is going to bless a new Fraternity, a lot of prayer, fasting and hard work is going to have to be done by everybody (and especially the founder).

In the link below, if you go to the "Our Apostolate" folder you will read what is expected of the Priests that are involved in this Fraternity (there are 2 more branches of the Family and the Consecrated Religious that have there spirituality discussed in folders "Who are We?", "Our Spirituality", and "The 3 Branches..."). If Father Michel expects his Priest's to do what is listed, he is at the minimum doing this or probably a lot more.

• St. Benedict Joseph Labre and St. Jean-Marie Vianny are the patron Saints for the Priests there.
• Morning and Evening Office's with the community where they are located.
• To animate and revitalize Catholics based on the 4 axes of Christian Community set out in the Acts of the Apostles.
• To make the Christian community an entirely evangelizing and animated community of the Risen Christ.
• To live a humble and penitent life of fasting, prayer and charity. Wednesday and Friday are fasting days (bread and water best).
• .... please look at the "Our Apostolate" folder to get the rest in the link below. This is translated from the original French and there is a link provided to go to the Fraternity's original documents.
• https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar9VSXTxWMPlsIViGTFkstzvGtLGJg?e=gr3WXO

If Fr. Michel expects his Priest's to do the above, in all likelihood he will be doing as much or more. I would recommend looking at the other folders I mentioned above because they reflect a heavy Marian devotion and other points that are useful to guide a discernment process. Below the line discusses exorcism and the necessary state of the Exorcist's soul. If this will disturb anyone, do not read below the line, there is enough above it to think about.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Second point to be covered with reference to Father Michel's spirituality or Holiness, is the fact that he is an active, effective exorcist in the Diocese of Amos, Quebec, Canada. You bring up a good question, Padraig, about this Priest's Holiness. If you were to go to war with satan or one of his demon's, what state should your soul be in? If Fr. were in mortal sin, he would not even be able to likely enter the room with the demon. If he were in venial sin, he would be entirely ineffective due to not being in the full, continuous, cooperation of Grace necessary from God to defeat the demon. It is God who defeats the demon, the Priest Exorcist in communion with God, issues God's words to defeat the demon. Any sin would immediately be thrown in Fr.'s face (as the demon can see any sin but those confessed). If Father Michel was a habitual liar about who he was or what he did, he could not be an effective exorcist (even after confession if his contrition was a lie too).

These are some points to reflect upon for all with regard to Father Michel's Holiness. Even though we might not know much, it does not mean that even we little ones cannot come to any conclusions. Only God can recognize God. If we are in Christ, we can see dim reflections even in the most simple acts of God's Creation.

Peace,
Ed

 

You mean this:

Fr. Michel to the audience: "I told my bishop all of my prophecies, including the 7 nuclear missiles that will hit the US. You can write that down."

Bishop: "You what?"

 

That was so careless of the Countdown website or of the book author not to get a direct response from the bishop before publishing their story. All they did was to get the word of Fr. Michel

 

From Bishop Lemay:

1.) “I have to tell you that Fr. Michel NEVER SUBMITTED to me any of his locutions and visions for discernment or approval.”

2.) Moreover, I learnt about his teaching while reading some reports on the website (Countdown)

3.) I did not and I do not approve his teaching with regard to his locutions and visions.

4.) It is UNTRUE that he receives the full support of his bishop as written in the Countdown to the Kingdom website and book.



In my observation, I believe that Countdown website is guilty of not consulting the local bishop first.

 

Good bye.

 

Just another question, did the Bishop really give him authority to be an active exorcist? He is the leader of his Fraternity Order and this involves a lot of work already. And yet the bishop still gave him powers to conduct exorcism? We took the word of Fr. Michel that he is an exorcist but never verified it from his diocse.

 

Ed, Isn't there a problem because all the information (above) comes from Fr. Michel, and his followers? That means it is not objective, from the outside, but put out by friendly "sources."

Also, your "second point" is what you think "he should be," not what you know he is. We can't "reflect" or "come to conclusions" on this at all, until his bishop makes a study/another annoucement.

I think Fr. Michel should first come to an agreement with the bishop. Having the bishop making a public statement, that he didn't know what Fr. Michel was doing, is giving scandal to the Church, I believe.

I read somewhere Satan can pretend humility, but he cannot pretend obedience... If the bishop's statment posted on the thread is accurate/true, Fr. Michel must make things right with his bishop, before anything else. I am disappointed with Mark Mallett & others to leave the material up in the face of a public dispute!

 

Back to the topic of this thread.....

Fr. Michel is only one of Mary's choices for apostles of the last times:

Within a message from God the Father:

My daughter, Mary, has already called the apostle of the last times [Note: Fr. Michel also heard St. Michael the Archangel call the Church to “pray with the Mother of God for the apostles of the last days to rise!” Hence, Fr. Michel is not the only one called to witness to these “end times”].
....................

Interesting:

Fr. Michel Rodrigue talks about building the two monasteries God the Father asked of him for The Fraternity of St. Joseph Benedict Labre (Fraternité Apostolique Saint Benoît-Joseph Labre) in the diocese of Amos, Quebec, Canada

Seven years ago, when I was given this new mission to be the founder of this new ministry, God gave me five years [to build a monastery]. After five years, I was taking care of three parishes. I had the whole city of Amos on my back. I was alone. Nobody helped me. When I was assigned to three other parishes where I built the new monastery, they replaced me with six priests. “Sorry, Father,” I told God, “We are in the fifth year, and I’ve done nothing. I am guilty.”

He said, “I will give one year more.”

I said, “Father, You’re so great.”

He said, “But this year will be a year of mercy.”

I went to the bishop and said, “Father, He said to me He would extend my time, and you must release me now from the city of Amos and the other, and I will go for the new.

And he said, “Okay, I will do it. What did He say?”

He said that we will have a year of mercy.

“That’s impossible. Michel, we just finished one holy year with St. Paul. The pope will not announce another.”

I said, “Yes, we will have it.” So, a month and half later, the year of mercy was pronounced.

 

I look at the daily messages from Heaven for over two decades now because they say so beautifully who God is and of His love for humanity. And yes, God warns. Similar to what Knight expressed, I was really depressed last night after checking some of the messages. Are we at the Great Tribulation we have been warned ahead about for so long? I wouldn’t want to be a current prophet right now.

I think God would speak through many souls since we are in the end times. And He has to or does because there is so much disbelief in current prophets.

Also, last evening something happened again. Every time, I learn something new when I read Monsignor Charles Pope’s homilies. Is it a gift for writing and/or is it Monsignor is touched by God the Holy Spirit? Ha, well that would be both then. Here is his latest. Can one apply it to the surprise of worldwide Covid-19? This is why I am grateful for current and older private revelation. God speaks, every day. He would tell us of His one plan but maybe not absolutely everything for a good reason.

And you believe that Fr. Michel and his Bishop had this conversation when nobody asked the Bishop if this ever happened?
