Heresiarch Martin Luther - Spiritual Pervert

28. Was it members of Opus Dei that proposed Martin Luther for canonization?

29. Why hasn't the Vatican ever condemned Opus Dei prosletyzing techniques that violate the 4th and 8th commandment?

30. Is this because Opus Dei has become the Vatican?

31. FBI spy Robert Hanssen was reported to have discussed with American Opus Dei advisors outside of the confessional of his communist spying activities. Why didn't these American members turn him in?

Opus Dei "Zombie Zealot" member and self-confessed communist spy Robert Hanssen’s sinister crime against America was viewed at first as, "Exceptionally grave" by U.S. officials in regards to the harm inflicted on U.S. security before they knew the depth of his betrayal. Now, some analysts call Hanssen the most damaging spy in U.S. history. It has also been reported that Hanssen may have helped Terrorists obtain "former" Soviet Union Nuclear materials on the black market. Hanssen was paid more than a million dollars by America’s enemies for this Opus Satanas "Work of Satan" espionage career. It is documented that before this Opus Dei member [Hanssen] was caught "red" handed spying by the FBI, he had confessed his Benedict Arnold lifestyle to an Opus Dei Priest, who told him to give the money received from his past dark dealings to charity. [It does not take much imagination to guess where Hanssen’s blood money ended up.-The Webmaster]

32. Why hasn't the FBI brought charges against Opus Dei for its well-publicized complicity?

33. Is it because the FBI was headed by Louis Freeh, a known Opus Dei operative?

34. Is that why Freeh resigned on the heels of the arrest of Hanssen?

35. How did spy Hanssen and his wife reconcile their perverted sexual practices in their marriage with Opus Dei membership?

36. Was it because they were told by their Opusian spiritual directors that there was nothing wrong with it?

37. Is someone who uses anti-communist words, but engages in communist actions, a communist?

38. Does he speak like an anti-communist in order to conceal his communism?

39. Is someone who uses catholic-sounding words, but engages in anti-catholic actions, anti-catholic?

40. Does he use catholic sounding words to conceal his anti-catholicism?

41. In defining his members' mission, why does Msgr. Escriba teach Genesis wrongly and point to man's pre-fall status in regard to "work", as if man had the same pre-fall status now? Is this not the heresy of pantheism?

42. If we are in a pre-fall status, would there be any real need for Our Lord Jesus Christ?

43. Is that why the Opus Dei cross is empty?

44. From this teaching, Escriva extrapolates the notion that "work" becomes the pivot upon which the task of sanctification turns. Does this mean there is no salvation for the unemployed?

45. If professional work is the pivot upon which membership is obtained, is Msgr. Escriva stating that salvation for the professional worker can only be found in and through Opus Dei, the place where they must bring home the bacon?

46. Why are Opus Dei's Catholic-sounding teachings only slightly askew from true Catholic teachings?

47. Is it so Catholics who join up won't notice?

48. Do talmudic and cabalistics teachers say that when the jewish messiah comes, non-jews are to be the slaves to jews or eliminated?

49. If one draws all the reasonable inferences from talmudic teachings about the jews, can non-jews be anything else but slaves or dead slaves?

50. Is the enslavement of Opus Dei lay members, who must turn over their salaries to Opus Dei, a sign that the jewish messiah has come?

51. Is that what Rabbi Kreiman saw in the teachings of Msgr. Escriva that the rabbi called "talmudic?"

52. Is that why Msgr. Escriva handed out whips to his Catholic members and told them to beat themselves?

53. Do Msgr. Escriva’s talmudic teachings have any connection with the recently published Vatican document that we must acknowledge the coming of a jewish messiah as taught in talmudic books?

54. Is that why we no longer may convert the jews?

55. For wouldn't a messiah, even a talmudic jewish one, come to convert us and not the other way around?

56. But doesn't Catholicism teach that the Messiah already came?

57. Next time Our Lord Jesus Christ comes, doesn't He come in glory and in judgment?

58. If that's how Our Lord Jesus Christ is going to come the second time, who is this jewish "messiah" that is coming for the first time?

59. Why did Opus member Navarre Vals publicly tell the Catholic world that our acknowledgment of a coming jewish messiah and Hebrew scriptures, including talmudic books, is now "official" Catholic teaching?

60. If we acknowledge talmudic teachings, are we considered talmudic jews, slaves to the talmudic jews; or just Catholics who acknowledge talmudic books? [Please see: TalmudUnmasked.com -The Webmaster]

61. But if we acknowledge talmudic books, then wouldn’t we also acknowledge our role as slaves to the jews?

62. In comparing The Way with his own life, doesn't this put Escriva in the "do as I say", not "do as I do"school?

[Note: The book, The Way by Escriva, should certainly be avoided by Catholics who value their Faith. Quotes from the text of Escriva's book cited here, are provided solely to warn the Faithful against this sophist's poisonous prose. -The Webmaster]

63. Doesn't this hypocrisy have something to do with why Our Lord told the Pharisees that they could not escape damnation?

64. How long after writing Maxim No.___. "Do not seek worldly titles….." published in "The Way" did Msgr. Escriva pay 250,000 pesatas for the non-transferrable royal title for himself, "Marquis of Peralta?"

65. Has there ever been a saint in all the history of the Church who required the laity, under obedience to Msgr. Escriva, to beat themselves?

66. Is he the very first saint ever to hand out whips to others?

67. Does the canonization of Msgr. Escriva imply that a sanctity comes from handing out whips to others?

Please Note: The webmaster by applying correct theological principles to the current "visible" government in Rome, holds the view that *John Paul II was a manifest heretic, and thus ipso facto was not a valid pope. In fact he (JP2) for a variety of reasons, such as falling under the ex cathedra condemnation of Pope Paul IV's 1559 A.D. Papal Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, could never have been a lawful pontiff.

Any references to alleged "beatifications" or "canonizations" performed by this usurper of Church property [JP2] are without substance.

68. Why were prime eye-witnesses opposed to the canonization barred from testifying during the canonization process?

Antipope John Paul II and Opus Dei's Portillo, a Mockery of Sanctity

69. Why was Msgr. Escriva's confessor, Portillo, permitted to testify ad nauseum during the canonization process in direct contradiction to the explicitly laid down rule that the candidate's "confessor" may not be called to testify during the canonization process?

70. Why did the Vatican allow a member of Opus Dei to postulate what is supposed to be an unbiased cause for canonization, when such membership presents innumerable temptations toward bias as well as a clear conflict of interest in the duties of the postulator? Was this conflict made even worse by the conspicuous absence of the duties and office of the Devil's Advocate?

71. In light of Pope Urban VIII explicit pronouncement that without the Devil's Advocate, no canonization is valid, why were the duties and office of the Devil's Advocate eliminated from the norms of canonization? 72. Is this because Portillo and other Opus Dei members sat on the committee that had eliminated the duties and office of Devil's Advocate?

"No Devil's Advocate = No Canonization" Tomb of Pope Urban VIII - by Bernini

73. Is Escriva's use of the rose with the cross, a clear Rosacrucian symbol, a coincidence or a sign of its adherence to Rosacrucian occultic beliefs?

74. Is this why early Opus member, Miguel Fisac, stated he was asked to wear a white robe during a mysterious initiation ceremony.

75. Why does Opus Dei use the symbol of the empty cross, rather than a crucifix?

76. Doesn't the initiation rite of the Rosacrucians require new members who are Christians to lay down on an empty cross and be tramped by other Rosacrucian members?

77. Is this why only Opus Dei Catholic members are told that the cross is empty so that they may put themselves on it?

78. Is this why only the Catholic members of Opus Dei are required to beat themselves?

79. What was the reason why Jose Maria Escriba changed his name to (1) Jose Maria Escriva, and then again to (2) Jose Maria Escriva de Balaguer, and then again to (3) Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer and then again to (4) Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer y Albas, and then again to (5) Josemaria Escriva de Balguer y Albas, Marquis de Peralta?

80. If Opus Dei was made a "secular institute" in 1947, why then did it come under the jurisdiction of the "Congregation for Religious?"

81. Was it because it could only get status by being in a religious state with a secular mission?

82. Wasn't that why they were recognized by Rome only as a state in life that seeks perfection?

83. Isn't that why it came under the authority of the Congregation for Religious?

84. Doesn't this mean that it was not "unique" after all?

85. Was it a just coincidence that Msgr. Escriva received his supernatural "calling" to ordain priests shortly before going to Rome to seek recognition and get some kind of status?

86. Was it a supernatural "calling" that gave him the idea to ordain priests, contradicting his own unique plan for Opus Dei, before taking that trip to Rome?

87. Or was it because Msgr. Escriva could not otherwise get any juridical recognition from Rome?

88. How is it that the first three priests of Opus Dei, including Portillo, were ordained only 18 short months after Msgr. Escriba "asked them" to become priests?

89. Did the Bishop who ordained them put them in a speed-reading seminary?

90. Why does Msgr. Escriva and Opus Dei say that "...they call Opus Dei men to become priests only on an as needed basis?"

91. Before that trip to Rome in 1947 to seek recognition, were those first priests called by Msgr. Escriva on an "as needed" basis?

92. Wouldn't this kind of calling contradict the Catholic teaching that man receives his calling to the priesthood from God?

93. Wouldn't this make Opus' "ordaining priests on an as needed basis" a calling from a boss other than God?

94. Would that mean that Msgr. Escriva and Opus Dei are earthly bosses who are usurping the rights of God?

95. Does anyone know of any other earthly people who want to usurp the rights of God and become gods on earth?

96. Did Msgr. Escriva think he was God when he asked Portillo and the other two men to become priests?

97. Did Portillo and the other two men believe that Msgr. Escriva's "request" was God's request?

98. Did they think Msgr. Escriva was God?

99. Is that why Msgr. Escriva is called "THE" father?

September 12th is the Feast Day of The Most Holy Name of Mary

THE TRUE CHURCH MUST INVOKE THE MOST HOLY NAME OF MARY TO TRIUMPH
September 12, 2005 AD
(TCW)

Minneapolis - Sept 12- In Today's Catholic World (TCW) in order to give fit honor to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to also to encourage the much persecuted members of the Church in eclipse (not to be confused with the Apostate Vatican II Sect) celebrates the glorious Feast of The Most Holy Name of Mary. The True Church must invoke The Most Holy Name of Mary, in order to Triumph!

It is said: And the Virgin's name was Mary. Let us speak a few words upon this name, which signifieth, being interpreted, Star of the Sea, and suiteth very well the Maiden Mother, who may very meetly be likened unto a star. A star giveth forth her rays without any harm to herself, and the Virgin brought forth her Son without any hurt to her virginity. The light of a star taketh nothing away from the Virginity of Mary. She is that noble star which was to come out of Jacob, whose brightness still sheddeth lustre upon all the earth, whose rays are most brilliant in heaven, and shine even unto hell, lighting up earth midway, and warming souls rather than bodies, fostering good and scaring away evil. She, I say, is a clear and shining star, twinkling with excellencies, and resplendent with example, needfully set to look down upon the surface of this great and wide sea.

The Most Holy Name of Mary

O thou, whosoever thou art, that knowest thyself to be here not so much walking upon firm ground, as battered to and fro by the gales and storms of this life's ocean, if thou wouldest not be overwhelmed by the tempest, keep thine eyes fixed upon this star's clear shining. If the hurricanes of temptation rise against thee, or thou art running upon the rocks of trouble, look to the star, call on Mary. If the waves of pride, or ambition, or slander, or envy toss thee, look to the star, call on Mary. If the billows of anger or avarice, or the enticements of the flesh beat against thy soul's bark, look to Mary. If the enormity of thy sins trouble thee, if the foulness of thy conscience confound thee, if the dread of judgement appal thee, if thou begin to slip into the deep of despondency, into the pit of despair, think of Mary.

COUNTERFEIT CHURCH RUNS FROM SUFFERING AND CROSS: SANCTIONS SPIRITUAL SENSUALISM
September 5, 2005 AD
(TCW)

Steubenville, OH Sept. 5 - The so called "Charismatic Movement" is condemned by the True Catholic Church. The "feel good goo" of this anti-Traditional "worship" is not mere "kid stuff" but in fact is a one way ticket to eternal shipwreck for the misguided soul (of any age) who hops aboard its no way out, no way home, bandwagon.

"Then, I saw that everything that pertained to Protestantism was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the Catholic religion fell into complete decadence ... and they all contributed to the work of destruction. -Prophetic Vision of Venerable Anna-Katrina Emmerick (1774-1824 A.D.) Augustinian Nun, Stigmatist.

The Heresy of Charismaticism is reprobated by the Church, as it falls under the Catholic Churches overall condemnation of the heresy of Liberalism. Fr. Felix Salvany in his classic book, Liberalism is a Sin, wrote:

"Piety itself does not escape the action of this pernicious naturalistic principle; it converts it into pietism that is to say, into a parody of true piety, as is painfully seen in the pious practices of so many people who seek in their devotions only the sentimental emotions of which they themselves are able to be the source. They are devout over themselves, worshiping their own little sentiments and offering incense to idols graven after their own image. This is simply spiritual sensualism, and nothing else. Thus we see in our day in so many souls the degeneration of Christian asceticism, which is the purification of the heart by the repression of the appetites, and the falsification of Christian mysticism, which is neither emotion, nor interior consolation, nor any other Epicurean foible of human sentiment, but union with God through a supernatural love for Him and through absolute submission to His holy will.

Therefore is it that the Catholicity of a great number of people in our times is a Liberal Catholicity, or, rather, a false Catholicity. It is really not Catholicity, but mere naturalism, a pure rationalism; it is in a word paganism disguised in Catholic forms and using Catholic language." Liberalism is a Sin, by Fr. Felix Salvany

What is the Gift of Tongues? (TCW) provides a brief look (below) at St. Vincent Ferrer's life and writings to give the reader the proper Catholic understanding regarding this, by and large, totally misunderstood matter.

St. Vincent Ferrer, Confessor
(1350 – 1419 A.D.)

St. Vincent writes:

"The soul that attaches itself to these false consolations falls into very dangerous errors, for God justly permits the devil to have power to augment in it these kinds of spiritual tastes, to repeat them frequently, and to inspire it with sentiments that are false, dangerous, and full of illusions, but which the misguided soul imagines to be true. Alas! How many souls have been seduced by these deceitful consolations? The majority of raptures and ecstasies, or, to call them by their proper name, frenzies of these forerunners of Antichrist spring from this cause." - St. Vincent Ferrer, Treatise on the Spiritual Life

Roncalli Founder of Vatican II Sect
SSPX to "officially" join Eucuminist Counter-Church

First time in 47 Years, Roncalli Regime Breaks Silence on 1958 Conclave "Irregularities"

["Vatican" Spokesman "Cardinal" Pompedda] ...added that the traditionalists should explicitly recognise “the validity of papal elections from the death of Pius XII up until today”. Cardinal Pompedda observed that some traditionalists have questioned the validity of papal elections during that period.

POPE SIGNALS END TO SCHISM WITH LEFEBVRISTS
September 3rd, 2005 AD
The Tablet

Italy Sept 3 - POPE BENEDICT XVI this week met the leader of the only religious group to go formally into schism since the Second Vatican Council, apparently to explore ways to heal the 17-year-old rupture and bring him and his followers back into full communion with Rome. The Pope received Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior of the Society of St Pius X (also known as Lefebvrists), at his Castel Gandolfo residence on Monday. Dr Joaquín Navarro-Valls, the Pope’s spokesman, said the meeting took place at Bishop Fellay’s request and was conducted “in a climate of love for the Church and a desire to arrive at perfect communion”. The statement downplayed the significance of the 35-minute meeting but hinted that it was the start of more regular contacts. “While knowing the difficulties,” the spokesman said, “the desire was shown to proceed by degrees and in reasonable time.”

Afterwards, Bishop Fellay said the meeting took place in an “atmosphere of calm” and was “an opportunity for the Society to manifest that it has always been attached – and will always be – to the Holy See, Eternal Rome”. The bishop said his group, which boasts some 450 priests and nearly 180 seminarians in 26 countries, prayed that “the Holy Father might find the strength to put an end to the crisis in the Church and ‘restore all things in Christ’”.

The ultra-conservative Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre founded the Society of St Pius X in 1970 as a means of preserving the use of the Tridentine Mass, which the bishops of the Second Vatican Council – almost unanimously – voted to reform. But the group soon displayed that its attachment to the so-called Old Rite was only one feature of its more serious rejection of some of the major elements of the Council, especially ecumenism and interreligious dialogue.

After Archbishop Lefebvre refused to close his seminaries, Pope Paul VI in 1976 suspended him “a divinis” from celebrating the sacraments. Two years later the newly elected Pope John Paul II began efforts to accommodate the traditionalist group, going so far as granting a still controversial indult for the limited use of the Old Rite, which most liturgists at the time believed had been replaced by the post-Vatican II Mass. Pope John Paul’s efforts, aided principally by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, were eventually rebuffed by Archbishop Lefebvre, who incurred automatic excommunication in 1988 when he defied the Pope and ordained four bishops.

“The Society of St Pius X … has always disapproved of the indefatigable efforts of Pope John Paul II towards ecumenism, efforts which have led to a weakening of the Faith and of the defence of Truth,” Bishop Fellay wrote in a message upon the Pope’s death last April. The Tridentine Mass, in essence, was codified at the Council of Trent as part of the Catholic Church’s answer to the Protestant Reformation.

When Benedict XVI was elected Pope, Bishop Fellay said it was “a gleam of hope that we may find a way out of the profound crisis which is shaking the Catholic Church”. The superior of the Society of St Pius X said he hoped that “the two-thousand-year-old Tradition of the Church, forgotten and mistreated during the last 40 years, may regain its place during this Pontificate, and that the Traditional Holy Mass may be re-established in all its rights, without restrictions”. Robert Mickens, Rome

TCW's Commentary on this Story:

The Editor of In Today's Catholic World (TCW) has commented extensively on the fact that the SSPX position is illogical and is simple 101 Schism (i.e. mortally sinfully schismatic). (Please see (TCW's) news posts regarding the Schismatic SSPX on Aug. 29 & Aug 30 2005) Anyone who does not see this basic theological reality does not (purposely?) have their thinking cap on.

What is the most striking aspect of the news post above, is the quote from the “Vatican” non-authority bearing "Cardinal" Francesco Pompedda, where he attempts to enforce confused Catholics, to not question the now documented facts of "irregularities" at the papal conclaves going back to 1958.

This is truly a bombshell admonition by the unlawful usurpers holed up in Rome. Many true Catholics have known and/or are now learning the evidenced truth that at the 1958 Conclave, an anti-pope named Angelo Roncalli (that put himself off as "pope" John XXIII) unlawfully usurped the Papal Throne and unleashed a revolution which has thrown the "Church" and the temporal sphere, for more than 40 years now, into an unprecedented era of suffering and disorder. The consequences of Roncalli's Revolution (which are currently being carried on by, and through the heretic "Cardinal" Ratzinger) are the more than probable damnation of millions upon millions of eternal souls.

Is it any wonder why the enemies of the Church, all lauded their man, anti-pope John XXIII as "Good" Pope John... ?

(TCW) presents the Prophecy of St. Frances of Assisi to it's readers to show this usurpation of the Papacy was predicted for centuries and hopes to encourage the True Catholics remaining to persevere, as victory will come if we practice constancy.

St. Francis of Assisi Warned About this Era of Darkness

St. Francis of Assisi: "The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death.... Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer." (Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis Of Assisi, Washbourne, 1882 A.D., p. 248)

Blessed Anna Maria Taigi Predicted a Miracle Will Restore the True Papacy

BLESSED ANNA MARIA TAIGI PREDICTED A FORTHCOMING MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION TO RESTORE TRUE PAPACY
September 2, 2005 AD
(TCW)

Minneapolis Sept. 2 - Many members of the True Church have asked the Editor of TCW:

"Yes, it is clear that Roncalli to Ratzinger were (is in the case of ben16) anti-popes, but how will the true papacy be restored?

The Truth on the Matter is:

Cardinal Siri was the Pope from 1958-1989 (He chose the name Gregory XVII)

There is evidence he passed on the Pontificate

If a/the True Pope can not be found now, the Church does have a method of electing a True Roman Pontiff

The Church's Teaching on how to elect a true Pope in a grave/emergency situation: “During a vacancy of the Apostolic See, neither the Church nor the Council can contravene the provisions already laid down to determine the valid mode of election (Cardinal Cajetan, O.P., in De Comparata, cap.xiii, no. 202). However, in case of permission (for example if the Pope has provided nothing against it), or in case of ambiguity (for example, if it is unknown who the true Cardinals are or who the true Pope is, as was the case at the time of the Great Schism), the power ’of applying the Papacy to such and such a person’ devolves on the universal Church, the Church of God.” (ibid., no. 204) (The Church of the Incarnate Word by Monsignor Charles Journet)

In a addition there is Blessed Anna Maria Taigi's Famous Prediction of how a True Pope will be elected:

Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi foretold that after an unexampled period of time, of suffering [this would include the reign of terror inflicted by the conciliar anti-popes from 1958 to 2005 i.e. from Roncalli to Ratzinger] that the True Church [i.e not to be confused with the Apostate Vatican II sect] is now undergoing... that the glorious restoration of the True Papacy will in fact take place, though as of yet, at an unknown future time. (see text of prophecy below)

Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi (19th Century)	After the Three Days of Darkness	St. Peter and St. Paul, having come down from Heaven, will preach in the whole world and...		Designate a new Pope	A great light will flash from their bodies and will settle upon the cardinal who is to become Pope	Russia, England, and China will come into the Church

"After the three days of darkness, St. Peter and St. Paul, having come down from Heaven, will preach in the whole world and designate a new Pope. A great light will flash from their bodies and will settle upon the cardinal who is to become Pope. Christianity, then, will spread throughout the world. He is the Holy Pontiff, chosen by God to withstand the storm. At the end, he will have the gift of miracles, and his name shall be praised over the whole earth. Whole nations will come back to the Church and the face of the earth will be renewed. Russia, England, and China will come into the Church." (Prophecy of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769-1837 A.D.) who was Beatified by Pope Bendedict XV in 1920.)

Blessed Anna Maria Taigi
(1769-1837)
Beatified by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XV, on May 30, 1920

A model for wives, mothers, and the family, Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi conquers Napoleon I and the rationalism of the secular world while offering herself as a victim of expiation to the Almighty— in return, God opens the future to her in visions and prophecies...

(September 1, Feast of St. Giles, Abbot) The Seven Sorrows Devotion St. Gabriel of The Sorrowful Mother said he was never denied any petition that he confided to the Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) Pray to the Sorrowful Mother for the Sorrowing Church In a last but anxious appeal the Pope (Clement XIII 1758-1769) entreats all the Bishops in the Catholic world to link their efforts with his own and to beseech all Christian Princes to take in hand the defense of the Sorrowing Church, "Gementis Ecclesiae Causam Exposcite." Listen attentively, 23 years before 1789 (year of the French Revolution) the Church was in tears, due to the threats held out by Freemasonry; who can vouch for the assumption that 23 years remain to us before the Judeo-Masonry of the 20th century will add to the tears being shed by the Church -- blood tears similar to those shed during 1793? But this time it will not be in France only, but throughout the whole world. Is this not the time to speak again of the Sorrowing Church? (Monseigneur Jouin, (Speech) - Papacy and Freemasonry, December 8, 1930 A.D.) TRUE CATHOLICS MUST DEFEND THE SORROWING CHURCH September 1, 2005 AD (TCW) Minneapolis Sept. 1 - The Editor of In Today's Catholic World (TCW) deems it prudent to go to the solution for the constant confusion and disorder seen almost everywhere around us. This confusion greatly offends Our Lord and Our Lady, and is dragging innumerable souls to Hell in its evil embrace. The Solution is: The Blessed Virgin Mary. At the final apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima on October 12, 1917 A.D., where the stupendous Miracle of the Sun took place before 70,000 people; the three shepherd children saw Our Lady appear (during that final vision), with St. Joseph and the child Jesus (The Holy Family), as Our Lady of Mount Carmel and as Our Lady of Sorrows. In today's perilous times of unprecedented persecution leveled against the Church (not to be confused with the apostate Vatican II ecuminist false "church", headed by antipope Ben16), it is imperative to ask Our Lady, under Her Title of Our Lady of Sorrows, to hasten to the True Church's assistance now, to help us overcome the counterfeit Catholics who have usurped our buildings (i.e. Churches) and continue on all fronts to profane God's name with a vengeance. To help win the victory, the timeless Devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows is presented below: The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and dolors [sorrows]. The devotion was passed on by St. Bridget. HERE ARE THE SEVEN GRACES: I will grant peace to their families. They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries. I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother. I have obtained (This Grace) from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy. Mater Dolorosa SEVEN SORROWS The prophecy of Simeon. (St. Luke 2: 34, 35) The flight into Egypt. (St. Matthew 2:13-14) The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple. (St. Luke 3: 43-45) The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross. The Crucifixion. The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross. The burial of Jesus. The Angelic Salutation (Hail Mary) Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
