SUFFERING


"Why must we suffer? Because here below pure love cannot exist without suffering. O Jesus, Jesus, I no longer feel my cross when I think of yours."

OUR LADY WARDNED US


 
 “Civil governments will all have the same objective, which will be to abolish and make every religious principle disappear, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritism and vices of all kinds. Let those who are at the head of religious communities be on their guard concerning the persons they are to receive, because the devil will use all his malice to introduce into religious orders persons given to sin, for disorders and love of carnal pleasures will be widespread over the whole earth.”

Our Lady of La Salette

LEND ME MOTHER...


Lend me, Mother, your thoughts, and illuminate my mind with the light of your wisdom. 
 Lend me, Mother, your eyes, to look with them, because if I look through them, I will never sin again. 
 Lend me, Mother, your lips, so that I can pray with them, because if I pray with them, Jesus will be able to hear me. 
 Lend me, Mother, your tongue, to be able to receive Communion, for it is your tongue paten of love and holiness. 
 Lend me, Mother, your hands, so that I can work, so that work will yield a thousand times more. 
 Lend me, Mother, your mantle, to cover my wickedness, because covered with your mantle I must reach Heaven. 
 Lend me, Mother, your Son, so that I can love Him, if You give me Jesus, what more can I wish for? And that will be my happiness for all eternity.

WHAT CHRIST WILL TELL US


"On the day of our Judgment, our Lord will reproach us our little love for Him. You loved Me less than creatures. You did not seek the happiness of your life in Me. You loved Me enough not to offend Me mortally, but not enough to live of Me!

Some say: "But all this is exaggeration!"

Love is nothing but exaggeration; to exaggerate is to go beyond the strict requirements of the law. Love must exaggerate. 

Come! Let us be all taken up with our Lord! Let us love Him a little for His own sake. Let us forget ourselves and give ourselves to this good Savior! Let us sacrifice ourselves a bit! Look at the candles and the sanctuary lamp, which burn without leaving any trace, without reserving anything for themselves."

 Saint Peter Julian Eymard

PRAYERS TAUGHT BY THE ANGEL TO THE LITTLE SHEPHERDS OF FATIMA



“Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.” 
Amen.

BEWARE OF PORNOGRAPHY


It is incredible how even five seconds of a pornographic image can stay in the mind for a lifetime, and many years of Christian formation can be forgotten in a matter of a just moment when we choose to sin. Pornography torments the soul, destroys it and leads it to perdition. It takes away the person’s will, because it leads them to a difficult addiction that enslaves them.

 Unfortunately, someone who is used to watching pornography looks for in a woman what he has seen and reduces her to a simple object that serves for sexual pleasure, since this is what pornography presents, that is, a woman being used as a mere object created for satisfying carnal urges.

  Little by little, the consumer of pornography loses his capacity to love, because every vice leads us away from God who is the one who instills true love in us. The person stops thinking that women should be conquered with affection and respect, because they are human beings who love and want to be loved, instead he thinks that he has to win them to take them to bed and satisfy his own pleasure. The consumer of pornography will not be able to love because true love is sacrifice and self-giving, when spouses come together in the conjugal act, they make a sacrifice of love, they seek to give themselves to each other, and not only to satisfy themselves. It is in this sacred giving that God makes himself present and that He can be glorified.

  Now, if I am a consumer of pornography and I still want to know what it is to love and be loved, can I still do it?

  As long as you continue to watching pornography, you will never be able to experience this because every time you get further away from God, but if you sincerely repent of having offended God so much and you flee from the occasion of sin (that is, if it is necessary, to get rid of your computer, cell phone, television, magazines, records, staying away from certain "friends" or family, etc. for the love of God), seek the life of grace, go to Confession frequently, frequently attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, pray the holy rosary, practice daily mortification and read the life of the saints trying to imitate them, trying with all your heart to detest sin, with these practices you surely can love and be loved, but as with all vice, the virtue of perseverance is necessary, not to give up, nor to believe that as you haven’t fallen into sin for months or years you will never fall into it again, because the reality is that it is a LIFELONG struggle, but one that is worth everything.

DESTROYING THE FAMILY


Family is and will always be the same, the one built by the West on the basis of human nature. So now they go for more. They want, in this final battle, to culminate the modern utopia with the outright abolition of the family, because as long as those authentic marriages that worship God and raise children in true faith persist, heretical modernity will not have fully triumphed. 

 Hence the spread of gender ideology, contraceptives (many of them also early abortifacients), the crime of abortion, free love, divorce, adultery, etc. and everything that goes against this holy Sacrament. 

 Which side are you on in this battle?

PHARISEE OR PUBLICAN?


"The more religious a man is, the less he desires to show off his religiosity, to pray loudly or to sound trumpets -and to invite journalists- when he gives alms. The great modesty that prevents us from showing what is best in us comes from the fear of handling that ruins everything. When a man has extraordinary gifts, he has a great desire to appear like an ordinary man, at least religiously.”

YOU SHALL NOT FORNICATE AND YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY


 "Do not err: Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites shall possess the kingdom of God… The body is not meant for fornication but for the Lord… Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a great price. Therefore, glorify and bear God in your body" (1 Co. 6, 9-20).

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO SANT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL


Saint Michael the Archangel, invincible prince of the angelic hosts and glorious protector of the universal Church, I greet you and praise you for that splendour with which God has adorned you so richly. I stand before you in the company of my Guardian Angel, and in the presence of all the Angels of heaven, whom I take them as witnesses of my dedication and devotion to you. I choose you today as my personal protector and advocate and I intend to honor you as firmly as I can. I put myself, my family, and everything that belongs to me, under your powerful protection. 

 Saint Michael the Archangel, I consecrate to you my soul and body. I choose you as my patron and protector. Be my strength and the guardian in my life.   

  Increase the fervor in my heart. Obtain for me the grace to love with all my heart God, my Father; Jesus, my Savior; the Holy Ghost, my Sanctifier, and Mary, my sweet Mother. Assist me by your powerful intercession so that I may imitate your courage and loyalty to God, that trusting in your kind help and protection, I may be victorious over the enemies of my soul and be united with God in heaven forever and ever.  

  Assist me throughout my life to never offend God neither in word, nor in thoughts. Defend me against all the temptations of the devil, especially in relation to faith and purity, and at the hour of death instill peace in my soul and bring it into the eternal homeland.  

  It is little to offer you my service, being as I am a miserable sinner, but I do it with a faithful heart; remember that today on I am under your patronage and ask you to help me throughout my life and to obtain for me the pardon of my many and grave sins, the grace of loving God with all my heart, and the help that is necessary to obtain the crown of eternal glory.   

  Always defend me from the enemies of my soul, especially at the end of my life. Come then, Glorious Prince, and help me in the last fight, and with your mighty protection deliver me from the attacks of the enemy. Amen!

THE PRIMARY DUTY OF CHARITY


"The same applies to the notion of Fraternity which they found on the love of common interest or, beyond all philosophies and religions, on the mere notion of humanity, thus embracing with an equal love and tolerance all human beings and their miseries, whether these are intellectual, moral, or physical and temporal. But Catholic doctrine tells us that the primary duty of charity does not lie in the toleration of false ideas, however sincere they may be, nor in the theoretical or practical indifference towards the errors and vices in which we see our brethren plunged, but in the zeal for their intellectual and moral improvement as well as for their material well-being. Catholic doctrine further tells us that love for our neighbor flows from our love for God, Who is Father to all, and goal of the whole human family; and in Jesus Christ whose members we are, to the point that in doing good to others we are doing good to Jesus Christ Himself. Any other kind of love is sheer illusion, sterile and fleeting.”

DEEPENING TRUE FAITH WITHOUT HERESIES


“It will always be profitable to make an effort to deepen the content of the ancient tradition, doctrine and faith of the Catholic Church, just as the Lord gave it to us, just as the apostles preached and the Holy Fathers preserved it. Indeed, the Church is founded so that everyone who departs from this faith ceases to be a Christian and no longer deserves the name of such”.

 Saint Athanasius, Letter to Serapion

THE EXAMPLE OF PARENTS


  "Parents should set an example for their children, especially when they gather at night to pray the Holy Rosary, on bended knees. From this comes only peace and an abundance of heavenly gifts for the family."

THE COMMANDMENTS MUST BE ABSOLUTELY FULFILLED


The Council of Trent, in its canon XVIII on justification, decrees: 

 “If any one saith, that the commandments of God are, even for one that is justified and constituted in grace, impossible to keep; let him be anathema.”  

   And the Scripture says:  

  “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1st Cor 10.13.)  

  He who has ears to hear, let him hear. God is not mocked!

INTERNAL ENEMIES COLLUDED WITH EXTERNALS ENEMIES DECIDED TO DESTROY THE CATHOLIC FAITH


“We are no longer dealing, as at the beginning, with opponents in sheep`s clothing, but with open and bare faced enemies in our very household, who having made a pact with the chief foes of the Church, are bent on overthrowing the Faith (…)They want to renovate it, as if it were consumed by old age, increase and adapt it to worldly tastes, progress and comforts, as if it were opposed not just to the frivolity of a few, but to the good of society”. 

 Saint Pius X, Sacrorum Antistitum Labels: Modernist heresy, Magisterium of the Church, Saint Pius X
