The Miracle of the Illumination of All Consciences

A "mystical saint" would never come close to suggesting those in adultery could receive Holy Eucharist. This is diabolical disorientation that Sister Lucia said would take place in the end times. Yes, only diabolical disorientation would suggest what God the Father gave us in the 10 Commandments, what his Son Jesus clearly taught on adultery in the Gospels and what 2000 years of magisterial teachings taught on adultery is all of a sudden called "mercy". Only the same devil that gave Adam and Eve half truth could some how make deadly sin merciful. Now we see what Jesus said, that even the elect would be deceived.

 

I'm not saintly enough to take that stance. When I am judged... I don't want that on my shoulders. Is adultery a sin of course. It is just as bad as looking lustfully. I am no way clean enough to accept that battle. But I praise you Fatima for being so strong. May God be merciful when it is time for you to be judged.

Did Sister Lucia ever refer to the 'end times'? I am not aware that she ever did. I am aware of the growing disorientation and her references to it but still await the 'era of peace' that she said Our Lady promised rather than anticipating the end times that will follow it.

If the Rosary is an effective defence against 'diabolical disorientation' as Lucia indicated then, if we persist with it, we are guaranteed not to fall into heresy and to recognize it when we see it. We can also say, with great confidence, that those who are disorientated do not say the Rosary and have ignored Our Lady's requests to do so and are therefore responsible for their own situation to a great extent. We are in two camps, those who try to follow Our Lady's requests and are protected and those who do not and so are not.

 

Sr. Lucia, told Fr. Fuentes in 1957:

“Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world but she made me understand this for three reasons. The first reason is because she told me that the Devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Hence from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the Devil. There is no other possibility.

“The second reason is because she said to my cousins as well as to myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others.

“The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence, God always, before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies. Now, when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever then, as we say in our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with a certain trepidation the last means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother. It is with a certain trepidation because if you despise and repulse this ultimate means we will not have any more forgiveness from Heaven because we will have committed a sin which the Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Spirit. This sin consists of openly rejecting with full knowledge and consent, the salvation which He offers. Let us remember that Jesus Christ is a very good Son and that He does not permit that we offend and despise His Most Holy Mother. We have recorded through many centuries of Church history the obvious testimony which demonstrates, by the terrible chastisements which have befallen those who have attacked the honor of His Most Holy Mother, how Our Lord has always defended the honor of His Mother.”

"Sister Lucia told me: The two means to save the world are prayer and sacrifice.

"Regarding the Holy Rosary, Sister Lucia said: Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin, in these last times in which we live, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that we cannot resolve through the recitation of the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.

"Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Most Holy Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, goodness and pardon and as the sure door through which we are to enter Heaven." (La Verdad sobre el Secreto de Fatima, Fr. Joaquín Alonso).

 

For anyone who has special concerns or needs, the last paragraph on the Holy Rosary should be a boost of joy in knowing all our worries are for not, if we pray the rosary daily with love.

 

When is the last time anyone here heard a priest encourage people to say the Rosary? I haven't heard it mentioned in years apart from a few weeks ago when the priest at Mass, after praising Pope Francis for something or other, told us that real prayer is about having a personal relationship with Jesus and not saying rosaries or novenas, rattling off a load of formulaic prayers. Apparently, praying the rosary or novenas and having a personal relationship with Jesus are mutually exclusive. I suppose he meant that quality is better than quantity but he chose an unfortunate way of getting his message across. He doesn't strike me as one of those "spirit of Vatican 11" priests.

 

Our new parish priest has instigated the Rosary after Sunday mass. About a third stay.

 

When has a sermon been preached on the Rosary and how to say the Rosary?

Teach people to pray and they will become saints.

 

The Rosary is prayed either before or after Mass in very many parishes here but I have never seen a priest participate. Neither have I ever seen a priest at adorations except on the extremely rare occasions when adorations conclude with Benediction. I suppose the shortage of priests is to blame.

Nowadays a personal relationship with Jesus appears to exclude the traditional prayers. I think we're meant to have a casual chat with God. Praying to the Blessed Mother and saints might be a deterrent to the Lutherans so don't hold your breath waiting for sermons on praying the Rosary. Perhaps the Church is about to invent a Facebook or Instagram model for socialising with God?

 

We

We just received a new priest a month ago, so far he has mentioned sin and confession, Fatama, the rosary, our heavenly mother and the importance of prayer in his homilies. Hard words for the liberals but I am feeling really blessed right now.

 

You are blessed.

 

I just discovered a new to me person named John Mariani and saw that others mentioned something about him in the past. His most recent message I find to be in sync with so much lately about what is coming to the US. What he says about meditating on Christ's Passion every day resonates so much to me of late. Time to get back to daily stations of the cross!

September 8, 2023
Dear Readers
I got a message from the Blessed Mother on September 8th she came down with a Navy Blue Vail on and with her right arm raised to the heavens.
This is what she said... My child I want you to know that the Eternal Father is very pleased with you. As you know the warning is getting close and that God’s justice has fallen upon the country.
This country is about to see things that has never been seen before and you must be prepared for the persecution of the Church.
You must pray for your bishops that they have a firm stance and belief in the Gospel. Tell my children that they must meditate on Christ's passion every day. It is through doing this that you will be able to overcome the fear in the coming times.
And then she said my child I know you have been going through a lot but don’t let the little things of this world distract you and turn you away from my son Jesus Christ.
Offer up your struggles to me and I will help you get through it. Do not go into despair. Heaven loves you very, very much.

This was the first time I saw the Blessed Mother since 2020.
