Introit

Ps. 54

Cum clamárem ad Dóminum, exaudívit vocem meam, ab his, qui appropínquant mihi: et humiliávit eos, qui est ante sǽcula et manet in ætérnum:  jacta cogitátum tuum in Dómino, et ipse te enútriet.

When I called upon the Lord, he heard my voice, even from the battle that was aginast me:  yea, even God that endureth for ever shall hear me, and bring them down:  O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee.

Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam, et ne despéxeris deprecatiónem meam: inténde mihi et exáudi me.

Save me, O God, for thy Name's sake, and avenge me in thy strength.

The Collects

Deus, qui omnipoténtiam tuam parcéndo máxime et miserándo maniféstas: multíplica super nos misericórdiam tuam; ut ad tua promíssa curréntes, cæléstium bonórum fácias esse consórtes.  Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

O God, who declarest thine Almighty power most chiefly in shewing mercy and pity, mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure.  Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Collect of St. Hyacinth

 O God who dost gladden us by the annual solemnity of blessed Hyacinth, Thy confessor, mercifully grant that we who celebrate his heavenly birthday may also imitate his example.

Collect for the Octave of the Assumption:

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui Immaculátam Vírginem Maríam, Fílii tui Genitrícem, córpore et ánima ad cæléstem glóriam assumpsísti: concéde, quæsumus; ut ad supérna semper inténti, ipsíus glóriæ mereámur esse consórtes.  Per eúmdem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

Almighty and everlasting God, who hast taken up into heavenly glory both the body and soul of the Mother of thy Son, the immaculate Virgin Mary: grant, we beseech thee; that we may in such wise set our affections on things above; that we may finally attain unto fellowship with her in glory.  Through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Collect for the Octave Day of St. Lawrence.

Excita, Domine, in Ecclesia tua Spiritum, cui beatus Laurentius Levita servivit: ut, eodem nos repleti, studeamus amare quod amavit, et opere exercere quod docuit. 

Stir up within Thy Church, O Lord, the Spirit which blessed Laurence Thy deacon obeyed: that therewith we too may be filled and may strive to love what he loved and may put in practice what he taught.
 
The Epistle 
I Cor. 12: 2-11

Fratres:  Scitis, quóniam, cum gentes essétis, ad simulácra muta prout ducebámini eúntes.  Ideo notum vobis fácio, quod nemo in Spíritu Dei loquens, dicit anáthema Jesu.  Et nemo potest dícere, Dóminus Jesus, nisi in Spíritu Sancto.  Divisiónes vero gratiárum sunt, idem
autem Spíritus.  Et divisiónes ministratiónum sunt, idem autem Dóminus.  Et divisiónes operatiónum sunt, idem vero Deus, qui operátur ómnia in ómnibus.  Unicuíque autem datur manifestátio Spíritus ad utilitátem.  Alii quidem per Spíritum datur sermo sapiéntiæ álii autem sermo sciéntiæ secúndum eúndem Spíritum:  álteri fides in eódem Spíritu: álii grátia sanitátum in uno Spíritu:  álii operátio virtútum, álii prophétia, álii discrétio spirítuum, álii génera linguárum, álii interpretátio sermónum.  Hæc autem ómnia operátur unus atque idem Spíritus, dívidens síngulis, prout vult.

Brethren:  Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.  Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.  And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.  And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:  but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.


The Gradual and Alleluia

Ps. 16: 9-10 and 3

Custódi me, Dómine, ut pupíllam óculi:  sub umbra alárum tuárum prótege me.

Keep me as the apple of an eye:  hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

V.  De vultu tuo judícium meum pródeat:  óculi tui vídeant æquitátem.

V.  Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.

Ps. 64: 1

Allelúja, allelúja.  Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion:  et tibi redde tu votum in Jerúsalem. Allelúja.

Alleluia, alleluia.  Thou art worthy to be praised, O God, in Sion; and a vow shall be paid thee in Jerusalem. Alleluia.

The Gospel
Luke 18: 9-14

In illo témpore:  Dixit Jesus ad quosdam, qui in se confidébant tamquam justi et aspernabántur céteros, parábolam istam:  Duo hómines ascendérunt in templum, ut orárent:  unus pharisǽus, et alter publicánus. Pharisǽus stans, hæc apud se orábat:  Deus, grátias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut céteri hóminum:  raptóres, injústi, adúlteri:  velut étiam hic publicánus.  Jejúno bis in sábbato: décimas do ómnium, quæ possídeo.  Et publicánus a longe stans nolébat nec óculos ad cælum leváre:  sed percutiébat pectus suum, dicens:  Deus, propítius esto mihi peccatóri.  Dico vobis:  descéndit hic justificátus in domum suam ab illo:  quia omnis qui se exáltat, humiliábitur:  et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur.

At that time, Jesus spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Offertory

Ps. 24: 1-2

Ad te, Dómine, levávi ánimam meam:  Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam:  neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: étenim univérsi, qui te exspéctant, non confundéntur.

Unto thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: my God, in thee do I trust, O let me not be confounded.  Neither let mine enemies triumph over me:  for all they that hope in thee shall not be confounded.

The Secret:


Tibi, Dómine, sacrifícia dicáta reddántur:  quæ sic ad honórem nóminis tui deferénda tribuísti, ut éadem remédia fíeri nostra præstáres.  Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculórum.  Amen.

O Lord, who hast instituted this sacrifice to be a remembrance of the effectual continuance of the work of our redemption:  grant, we pray thee, that we may ever be enabled by thee to draw near in worthiness unto these thy mysteries.  Through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.  Amen.

Sacrifícium nostrum tibi, Dómine, quæsumus, beáti Lauréntii precátio sancta concíliet:  ut, cujus honóre solémniter exhibétur, ejus méritis efficiátur accéptum.  Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,

O Lord, we pray thee that the devout prayers of blessed Lawrence may commend our sacrifice unto thee:  that this bounden oblation which we offer in his honour, may by his merits be rendered acceptable in thy sight.  Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God,

The Epistle

Judith 13:22-25; 15:10

 [22] Universi autem adorantes Dominum, dixerunt ad eam: Benedixit te Dominus in virtute sua, quia per te ad nihilum redegit inimicos nostros. [23] Porro Ozias princeps populi Israel dixit ad eam: Benedicta es tu, filia, a Domino Deo excelso prae omnibus mulieribus super terram. [24] Benedictus Dominus, qui creavit caelum et terram, qui te direxit in vulnera capitis principis inimicorum nostrorum: [25] quia hodie nomen tuum ita magnificavit, ut non recedat laus tua de ore hominum, qui memores fuerint virtutis Domini in aeternum, pro quibus non pepercisti animae tuae propter angustias et tribulationem generis tui, sed subvenisti ruinae ante conspectum Dei nostri. [10] Quae cum exisset ad illum, benedixerunt eam omnes una voce, dicentes: Tu gloria Jerusalem; tu laetitia Israel; tu honorificentia populi nostri:

 [22] And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. [23] And Ozias the prince of the people of Israel, said to her: Blessed art thou, O daughter, by the Lord the most high God, above all women upon the earth. [24] Blessed be the Lord who made heaven and earth, who hath directed thee to the cutting off the head of the prince of our enemies. [25] Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God.
 [10] And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:

The Gospel

Luke 1: 41-50

[41] Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus: et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth: [42] et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit: Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. [43] Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? [44] Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. [45] Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino.

[46] Et ait Maria: Magnificat anima mea Dominum: [47] et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. [48] Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, [49] quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus, [50] et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.


[41] And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: [42] And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. [45] And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.

[46] And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

Brethren: I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.

 lake of Genesareth, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. And going into one of the ships that was Simon's, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting, he taught the multitudes out of the ship. Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught." 

And Simon answering said to him: "Master, we have laboured all the night and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net." And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking.

Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. And so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: "Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men." And having brought their ships to land, leaving all things, they followed him.

O demônio existe mesmo? O que diz o Papa Francisco?

O Papa Francisco confirma o que todos os papas e santos da Igreja já disseram: o demônio existe ( 11-10-2013, Gaudium Press). 

O Papa Francisco alertou sobre os riscos que o demônio pode trazer para nossas vidas. Baseando-se no Evangelho onde Jesus expulsa o demônio, o Papa afirmou que a presença do inimigo no mundo "é real e não uma fábula", ressaltando que o Evangelho nos mostra que "os cristãos devem sempre estar alertas contra o maligno". Ele disse: "Alguns padres, quando leem esta passagem, ou outras, dizem que Jesus curou aquela pessoa de uma doença mental. 

É verdade que antigamente se podia confundir epilepsia com estar possuído pelo demônio, mas é igualmente verdade que o demônio existe! A presença do demônio está na primeira página da Bíblia e também no final, com a vitória de Deus sobre ele". Para resistir às tentações do inimigo, o Papa aconselhou três caminhos: "não confundir a verdade", pois "Jesus luta contra o diabo; e este é o primeiro critério". 

O demônio é o pai da mentira, e quando mente fala daquilo que lhe é próprio”, disse Jesus (João 8,44). São João diz que “Jesus veio ao mundo para destruir a obra do demônio” (1 João 3,8). Como, então, negar que ele não existe e que não age? O segundo caminho indicado pelo Papa seria seguir fielmente a Cristo, pois "quem não está com Jesus está contra Jesus". 

O terceiro é a vigilância do nosso coração: "porque o demônio é astuto e nunca é expulso para sempre". “Vigiai e orai, pois o espírito é forte mas a carne é fraca”. Para que os cristãos não sejam "ingênuos", o Pontífice explicou a estratégia do diabo: ele diz "Você é cristão, tem Fé, vai adiante que eu não volto. Mas depois, quando você está acostumado e se sente seguro, ele volta". 

Francisco disse que "O Evangelho de hoje [11-10-13] começa com o demônio expulso e termina com o demônio voltando! É como um leão feroz, que nos circunda. Isto não é mentira". Ele tentou até mesmo Jesus; São Pedro disse que ele é como “um leão que ruge a nosso redor buscando a quem possa devorar” (1 Pedro 5,8) O Papa ainda alentou: "Peçamos a Ele (Jesus) a graça de levar a sério estas coisas. 

Ele veio lutar por nossa salvação e venceu o demônio! Não façamos negócios com o demônio; ele tenta voltar para casa, se apoderar de nós. Não devemos relativizar, mas vigiar, sempre e com Jesus".

As 14 Estações da Via - Sacra - The 14 Stations

As 14 Estações da Via - Sacra

“Todos os santos, porque amaram a Jesus Cristo, esforçaram-se por santificar o mais possível o tempo de carnaval”.

“Por este amigo, a quem o Espírito Santo nos exorta a sermos fiéis no tempo da sua pobreza, podemos entender que é Jesus Cristo, queespecialmente nestes dias de carnaval é deixado sozinho pelos homens ingratos e como que reduzido à extrema penúria. Se um só pecado, como dizem as Escrituras, já desonra a Deus, o injuria e o despreza, imagina quanto o divino Redentor deve ficar aflito neste tempo em que são cometidos milhares de pecados de toda a espécie, por toda a condição de pessoas, e quiçá por pessoas que lhe estão consagradas. Jesus Cristo não é mais suscetível de dor; mas, se ainda pudesse sofrer, havia de morrer nestes dias desgraçados e havia de morrer tantas vezes quantas são as ofensas que lhe são feitas.

É por isso que os santos, a fim de desagravarem o Senhor de tantos ultrajes, aplicavam-se no tempo de carnaval, de modo especial, ao recolhimento, à penitência, à oração, e multiplicavam os atos de amor, de adoração e de louvor para com o seu Bem-Amado. No tempo do carnaval, Santa Maria Madalena de Pazzi passava as noites inteiras diante do Santíssimo Sacramento, oferecendo a Deus o sangue de Jesus Cristo pelos pobres pecadores. O Bem-aventurado Henrique Suso guardava um jejum rigoroso a fim de expiar as intemperanças cometidas. São Carlos Borromeu castigava o seu corpo com disciplinas e penitências extraordinárias. São Filipe Néri convocava o povo para visitar com ele os santuários e realizar exercícios de devoção. O mesmo praticava São Francisco de Sales, que, não contente com a vida mais recolhida que então levava, pregava ainda na igreja diante de um auditório numerosíssimo. Tendo conhecimento que algumas pessoas por ele dirigidas, que se relaxavam um pouco nos dias de carnaval, repreendia-as com brandura e exortava-as à comunhão frequente.

Numa palavra, todos os santos, porque amaram a Jesus Cristo, esforçaram-se por santificar o mais possível o tempo de carnaval. Meu irmão, se amas também este Redentor amabilíssimo, imita os santos. Se não podes fazer mais, procura ao menos ficar, mais do que em outros tempos, na presença de Jesus Sacramentado ou bem recolhido em tua casa, aos pés de Jesus crucificado, para chorar as muitas ofensas que lhe são feitas.

O meio para adquirires um tesouro imenso de méritos e obteres do céu as graças mais assinaladas, é seres fiel a Jesus Cristo em sua pobreza e fazer-lhe companhia neste tempo em que é mais abandonado pelo mundo. Como Jesus agradece e retribui as orações e os obséquios que nestes dias de carnaval lhe são oferecidos pelas suas almas prediletas!”

(LIGÓRIO, Afonso Maria de, Meditações).

Latin Mass- 3rd Sunday of Advent

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

SAINT EUSEBIUS
Bishop and Martyr

DOUBLE, FIRST CLASS / ROSE or PURPLE

Guadete means "Rejoice." Anticipated joy over our Savior's coming breaks through all our serious Advent preparation. Although it cannot be entirely repressed, our joy is yet restrained for two reasons: 1. Like John the Baptist, even the most fervent person feels a great unworthiness either to be a friend of Christ or to be His apostle. 2. Very often our joy is dulled by unnecessary anxiety. We let our peace of soul depend too much upon persons and events and circumstances, and too little upon God's infallible and tender care.

INTROIT Philipp. 4:4-6 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice! Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety; but in every prayer let your petitions be made known to God.
Ps. 84:2. O Lord, You have blessed Your land; You have restored Jacob from captivity.V. Glory be . . .Rejoice in the Lord ...

COLLECT
Hear our prayers, O Lord, and enlighten the darkness of our minds by Your coming on earth; who lives and rules with God the Father . . .Commemoration of SAINT EUSEBIUS

Eusebius was bishop of Vercelli in northern Italy in the middle of the fourth century. St. Ambrose says that he was the first in the West to introduce the practice of community life among secular clergy. Eusebius was exiled to Palestine and Cappadocia by Emperor Constantius for his defense of St. Athanasius and his opposition to the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ. Though greatly mistreated in exile, [he won the title of martyr for his grievous sufferings] the courageous bishop survived the ordeal and, on the death of the Emperor, took up the fight for the Church once more. He won other enemies, however, by urging clemency toward repentant Arian bishops, the very ones who had been a cause of his exile. St. Eusebius died in peace at Vercelli in 371 A. D.

O God, who gladdens us each year by the feast of Your blessed martyr bishop Eusebius, mercifully grant that we who celebrate his birthday may also enjoy his protection. Through Our Lord . . .

EPISTLE Philipp. 4:4-7
Brethren: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety, but in every prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God. And may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

GRADUAL Ps. 79:2, 3, 2
O Lord, enthroned above the Cherubim, stir up Your might and come.
V. Take heed, you who rule Israel, you who are shepherd over Joseph.

Alleluia, alleluia! V.
Stir up Your might, O Lord, and come to save us.
Alleluia!

GOSPEL John 1:19-28
At that time, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: "Who art thou?" And he confessed and did not deny: and he confessed: "I am not the Christ." And they asked him: "What then? Art thou Elias?" And he said: "I am not." "Art thou the prophet? And he answered: "No." They said therefore unto him: "Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?" He said: "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias." And they that were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him and said to him: "Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?" John answered them, saying: "I baptize with water: but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose." These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Temple of Divine Love.21:29 (editado) - Público Re-post from Roberto Quijano A PRIEST SENTENCED TO HELL BY JESUS CHRIST!!! THIS IS A TRUE TO LIFE STORY OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO MET AN ACCIDENT, DIED AND WAS IN FRONT OF THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF THE LORD AND WAS SENTENCED TO HELL BUT WONDROUSLY SAVED BY THE BLESSED MOTHER. TAKEN FROM A DOCUMENTARY FILM OCCURRED IN AMERICA!!! IN 1985, FATHER STEPHEN SCHEIER, A CATHOLIC PRIEST, HAD A HEAD ON COALITION WITH A TRUCK AND FOUND HIMSELF BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD WHERE HE SAYS HE WAS CONDEMNED TO HELL. AS HE RECALLED, MOST OF THE TIME IN HIS HOMILY, HE TALKED ONLY ABOUT PEACE, LOVE, AND JOY. NOT MORALITY, DOGMA, AND WHAT THE CHURCH IS ALL ABOUT. (HE FAILED TO MENTIONED ESPECIALLY THE DANGEROUS SINS SUCH AS ABORTION, ADULTERY, LIVE IN, FORNICATION, DIVORCE, MURDER, DRUG ADDICTION, ARSON, DRUNKARD, WATCHING BOLD MOVIES, MASTURBATION, HOMOSEXUALITY (GAYS & LESBIANS) (1COR.6:9), GOSSIP, SLANDERING, LYING, PRIDE, LOVE OF MONEY, TREACHEROUS, TRAITORS, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION (MAT.5:22), SACRILEGE, OBSCENE DRESSES OF WOMEN WEARING MOSTLY DURING HOLY MASS, MUSIC THAT ARE INSULTING TO GOD AND ALL THE SINS THAT MIGHT ENDANGER THE SOULS.) THE REASON WHY HE DID NOT MENTIONED THE ABOVE, BECAUSE SURELY MONEY WON’T COME IN. IF HE WANTED TO HAVE MONEY IN, HE SHOULD HAVE TO TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. IN THE JUDGMENT SEAT, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE JESUS, BUT THERE WERE MUCH SAID WITH REGARDS TO HIS LIFE. THE ONLY THING HE DID, UPON HEARING PECULIAR INSTANCES, HE JUST INTERNALLY ACCEPTED EVERYTHING. ALL TRUE AND NO REBUTTAL. WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REVEALED ABOUT HIS LIFE, JESUS SAID TO HIM THAT THE SENTENCE THAT HE WILL HAVE FOR ALL ETERNITY IS HELL… AND HE THOUGHT INTERNALLY TRUE… KNOWING WHAT HE DESERVED… THEN, AT THAT MOMENT, HE HEARD A FEMALE VOICE. THE VOICE SAID, “SON, WOULD YOU PLEASE SPARE HIS LIFE.” OUR LORD SAID, “MOTHER, HE HAS BEEN A PRIEST FOR TWELVE YEARS FOR HIMSELF AND NOT FOR ME. LET HIM REAP THE PUNISHMENT HE DESERVES.” AFTER THAT, THE PRIEST HEAR HER SAY… IN RESPONSE, “BUT SON, IF WE GIVE TO HIM SPECIAL GRACES AND STRENGTHS, AND COME TO HIM IN WAYS THAT HE IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH, AND SEE HE BEARS FRUIT, IF DOES NOT, THEN YOUR WILL BE DONE!!!” THERE WAS A VERY SHORT PAUSE, AND JESUS SAID, “MOTHER…HE IS YOURS!!!” AS HE CONTINUE WITH TEARY EYES, THE PRIEST SAID, “HER SON GAVE THE HUMAN RACE TO HER AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS WHEN HE SAID, ‘WOMAN, BEHOLD YOUR SON!’ AT THAT MOMENT SHE DIVULGED ALL OF US AS HER CHILDREN. WE HAD ADVOCATED HEAVEN, THE ADVOCATE TO WHOM THE GOD THE FATHER, AND HER SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HER SPOUSE ARE UNABLE TO SAY NO TO HER. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO SAY NO TO HER!!!” THE BLESSED MOTHER MARY SAVED THE PRIEST CONDEMNED BY JESUS TO HELL, AND THERE IS NO ORDINARY PERSON CAN DO THAT…NOBODY!!!

Jesus and Virgin Mary speak about Modern Mass.

On November 27, 1902 and May 10, 1904

 Our Lord and Our Lady announced the conspiracy to invent the "New Mass": 
 «I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight.» 
 «When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since Me. 
The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration.. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting the kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH.»
 Marie-Julie Jahenny (June 1881). 
 "In their [priests] aberration, they will break their oaths. The Book of Life contains a list of names that ‘rends the heart.’ "Because of the little respect it has for the apostles of God, the flock grows careless and ceases to observe the laws. The priest himself is responsible for the lack of respect because he does not respect enough his holy ministry, and the place which he occupies in his sacred functions. The flock follows in the footsteps of its pastors; this is a great tragedy. "The clergy will be severely punished on account of their inconceivable fickleness and great cowardice which is incompatible with their functions. 
    "A terrible chastisement has been provided for those who ascend every morning the steps of the Holy Sacrifice. I have not come on your altars to be tortured. I suffer a hundredfold more from such hearts than any of the others. I absolve you from your great sins, My children, but I cannot grant any pardon to these priests."
