The Obedience of Faith

Posted on by

 

Now to Him who can strengthen you,
according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ…
to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith… 
(Rom 16:25-26)

…he humbled himself and became obedient unto death,
even death on a cross. (Phil 2:8)

 

GOD must be shaking His head, if not laughing at His Church. For the plan unfolding since the dawn of Redemption has been for Jesus to prepare for Himself a Bride who is “without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:27). And yet, some within the hierarchy itself[1]cf. The Final Trial have reached the point of inventing ways for people to remain in objective mortal sin, and yet feel “welcome” in the Church.[2]Indeed, God welcomes all to be saved. The condition for this salvation are in the words of Our Lord himself: “Repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15) What a vastly different vision than God’s! What an immense abyss between the reality of what is prophetically unfolding at this hour — the purification of the Church — and what some bishops are proposing to the world!Continue reading →

Remain in Me

First published May 8, 2015…

 

IF you are not at peace, ask yourself three questions: Am I in the will of God? Am I trusting Him? Am I loving God and neighbour in this moment? Simply, am I being faithful, trusting, and loving?[1]see Building the House of Peace Whenever you lose your peace, go through these questions like a checklist, and then realign one or more aspects of your mindset and behavior in that moment saying, “Ah, Lord, I am sorry, I have stopped abiding in you. Forgive me and help me to begin again.” In this way, you will steadily build a House of Peace, even in the midst of trials.

The Great Theft

Posted on by

 

The first step towards regaining the state of primitive liberty
consisted in learning to do without things.
Man must divest himself of all the trappings
laid on him by civilization and return to nomadic conditions —
even clothing, food, and fixed abodes should be abandoned.
—philosophical theories of Weishaupt and Rousseau;
from World Revolution (1921), by Nessa Webster, p. 8

Communism, then, is coming back again on the Western world,
because something died in the Western world—namely, 
the strong faith of men in the God that made them.
—Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen,
“Communism in America”, cf. youtube.com

 

OUR Lady told Conchita Gonzalez of Garabandal, Spain, “When Communism comes again everything will happen,” [1]Der Zeigefinger Gottes (Garabandal – The Finger of God), Albrecht Weber, n. 2 but she did not say how Communism would come again. At Fatima, the Blessed Mother warned that Russia would spread her errors, but she did not say how those errors would spread. As such, when the Western mind imagines Communism, it likely darts back to the USSR and the Cold War era.

But the Communism emerging today looks nothing like that. In fact, I sometimes wonder if that old form of Communism still preserved in North Korea — gray ugly cities, lavish military displays, and closed borders — is not a deliberate distraction from the real communist threat spreading over humanity as we speak: The Great Reset…Continue reading →

The Final Trial?

Posted on by

Duccio, The Betrayal of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1308 

 

All of you will have your faith shaken, for it is written:
‘I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be dispersed.’
(Mark 14:27)

Before Christ’s second coming
the Church must pass through a final trial
that will shake the faith of many believers… —
Catechism of the Catholic Church, n.675, 677

 

WHAT is this “final trial that will shake the faith of many believers?”

Hidden In Plain Sight

Posted on by

Baphomet – Photo by Matt Anderson

 

IN a paper on occultism in the Age of Information, its authors note that “members of the occult community are oath-bound, even on pain of death and destruction, not to reveal that which Google will instantly share.” And so, it is well known that secret societies will simply keep things “hidden in plain sight,” burying their presence or intentions in symbols, logos, movie scripts, and the like. The word occult literally means to “conceal” or “cover over.” Hence, secret societies such as the Freemasons, whose roots are occultic, are often found hiding their intentions or symbols in plain sight, which are meant to be seen on some level…Continue reading →

Forward Into the Fall…

THERE is quite a buzz about this coming October. Given that numerous seers around the world are pointing toward some kind of shift beginning next month — a rather specific and eye-brow raising prediction — our reaction should be one of balance, caution, and prayer. At the bottom of this article, you’ll find a new webcast in which I was invited to discuss this coming October with Fr. Richard Heilman and Doug Barry of US Grace Force.Continue reading →

An Apostolic Timeline

JUST when we think God should throw in the towel, He throws in another few centuries. This is why predictions as specific as “this October” have to be regarded with prudence and caution. But we also know the Lord has a plan that is being brought to fulfillment, a plan that is culminating in these times, according to not only numerous seers but, in fact, the Early Church Fathers.Continue reading →

The Breaking Point

Posted on by

 

Many false prophets will arise and deceive many;
and because of the increase of evildoing,
the love of many will grow cold.
(Matt 24:11-12)

 

I REACHED a breaking point last week. Everywhere I turned, I saw nothing but humans ready to tear one another apart. The ideological divide between people has become an abyss. I truly fear that some may not be able to cross over as they have become utterly entrenched in globalist propaganda (see The Two Camps). Some people have reached an astonishing point where anyone who questions the government narrative (whether it’s “global warming”, “the pandemic”, etc.) is deemed to literally be killing everyone else. For instance, one person blamed me for the deaths in Maui recently because I presented another point of view on climate change. Last year I was called a “murderer” for warning about the now unquestionable dangers of mRNA injections or exposing the true science on masking. It’s all led me to ponder those ominous words of Christ…Continue reading →

Church On a Precipice – Part II

The Black Madonna of Częstochowa – profaned

 

If you live in a time that no man will give you good counsel,
nor any man give you good example,
when you shall see virtue punished and vice rewarded…
stand fast, and firmly stick to God upon pain of life…
— Saint Thomas More,
beheaded in 1535 for defending marriage
The Life of Thomas More: A Biography by William Roper

 

 

ONE of the greatest gifts Jesus left His Church was the grace of infallibility. If Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32), then it is imperative that every generation know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what the truth is. Otherwise, one could take a lie for truth and fall into slavery. For…

…everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. (John 8:34)

Hence, our spiritual freedom is intrinsic to knowing the truth, which is why Jesus promised, “When He comes, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you to all truth.” [1]John 16:13 Despite the flaws of the individual members of the Catholic Faith over two millennia and even the moral failures of Peter’s successors, our Sacred Tradition reveals that the teachings of  Christ have been accurately preserved for over 2000 years. It is one of the surest signs of Christ’s providential hand upon His Bride.Continue reading →

The Last Standing

THE past several months have been a time for me of listening, waiting, of interior and exterior battle. I have questioned my calling, my direction, my purpose. Only in the stillness before the Blessed Sacrament did the Lord finally answer my appeals: He is not done with me yet. Continue reading →

Babylon Now

Posted on by

 

THERE is a startling passage in the Book of Revelation, one that could easily be missed. It speaks of “Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth” (Rev 17:5). Of her sins, for which she is judged “in an hour,” (18:10) is that her “markets” trade not only in gold and silver but in humans. Continue reading →

The Path of Life

“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through… We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel, of Christ versus the anti-Christ… It is a trial… of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization, with all of its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations.” —Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II ), at the Eucharistic Congress, Philadelphia, PA; August 13, 1976; cf. Catholic Online (confirmed by Deacon Keith Fournier who was in attendance) “We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through… We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel, of Christ versus the anti-Christ… It is a trial… of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization, with all of its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations.” —Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II ), at the Eucharistic Congress, Philadelphia, PA; August 13, 1976; cf.

We are now facing the final confrontation
between the Church and the anti-Church,

WE are living in an hour where nearly the entire Catholic culture of 2000 years is being rejected, not only by the world (which is to be somewhat expected), but by Catholics themselves: bishops, cardinals, and laity who believe the Church needs to “updated”; or that we need a “synod on synodality” in order to rediscover the truth; or that we need to agree with the ideologies of the world in order to “accompany” them.Continue reading →

Day 15: A New Pentecost

Posted on by

YOU’VE made it! The end of our retreat — but not the end of God’s gifts, and never the end of His love. In fact, today is very special because the Lord has a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit to bestow upon you. Our Lady has been praying for you and anticipating this moment as well, as she joins you in the upper room of your heart to pray for a “new Pentecost” in your soul. Continue reading →

Day 14: The Center of the Father

SOMETIMES we can get stuck in our spiritual lives due to our wounds, judgments, and unforgiveness. This retreat, thus far, has been a means to help you see the truths about both yourself and your Creator, so that “the truth will set you free.” But it is necessary that we live and have our being in the whole truth, in the very center of the Father’s heart of love…Continue reading →

Day 11: The Power of Judgments

EVEN though we may have forgiven others, and even ourselves, there is still a subtle but dangerous deception that we need to be sure is rooted out of our lives — one that can still divide, wound, and destroy. And that is the power of wrongful judgments. Continue reading →

IT says in First John:

We love, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

This retreat is happening because God loves you. The sometimes hard truths you are facing are because God loves you. The healing and liberation you’re beginning to experience is because God loves you. He loved you first. He will not stop loving you.Continue reading →

Day 8: The Deepest Wounds

Posted on by

WE are now crossing the halfway point of our retreat. God is not finished, there is more work to do. The Divine Surgeon is beginning to reach the deepest places of our woundedness, not to trouble and disturb us, but to heal us. It can be painful to face these memories. This is the moment of perseverance; this is the moment of walking by faith and not sight, trusting in the process that the Holy Spirit has begun in your heart. Standing beside you is the Blessed Mother and your brothers and sisters, the Saints, all interceding for you. They are closer to you now than they were in this life, because they are fully united to the Holy Trinity in eternity, who dwells within you by virtue of your Baptism.

Yet, you may feel alone, even abandoned as you struggle to answer questions or to hear the Lord speaking to you. But as the Psalmist says, “Where can I go from your Spirit? From your presence, where can I flee?”[1]Psalm 139:7 Jesus promised: “I am with you always, until the end of the age.”[2]Matt 28:20Continue reading →

Day 6: Forgiveness to Freedom

LET us begin this new day, these new beginnings: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Heavenly Father, thank you for Your unconditional love, lavished upon me when I least deserve it. Thank You for giving me the life of Your Son so that I may truly live. Come now Holy Spirit, and enter into the darkest corners of my heart where there still lingers painful memories, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Shine the light of truth that I may truly see; speak the words of truth that I may truly hear, and be freed from the chains of my past. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.Continue reading →

The Iron Rod

READING the words of Jesus to Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, you begin to understand that the coming of the Kingdom of the Divine Will, as we pray each day in the Our Father, is the single greatest objective of Heaven. “I want to raise the creature back to her origin,” Jesus said to Luisa, “…that my Will be known, loved, and done on earth as It is in Heaven.” [1]Vol. 19, June 6, 1926 Jesus even says that the glory of the Angels and Saints in Heaven “will not be complete if my Will does not have Its complete triumph on earth.”

The Wind Storm

Posted on by

A different kind of storm blew in upon our ministry and family last month. We suddenly received a letter from a wind energy company that has plans to install massive industrial wind turbines in our rural residential area. The news was stunning, because I had already been studying the adverse effects of “wind farms” on human and animal health. And the research is horrifying. Essentially, many people have been forced to leave their homes and lose everything due to adverse health effects and the absolute demise of property values.

By His Wounds

JESUS wants to heal us, He wants us to “have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). We may seemingly do everything right: go to Mass, Confession, pray every day, say the Rosary, have devotions, etc. And yet, if we have not dealt with our wounds, they can get in the way. They can, in fact, stop that “life” from flowing in us…Continue reading →

Revival

Posted on by

 

THIS morning, I dreamt I was in a church sitting off to the side, next to my wife. The music being played were songs I had written, though I’d never heard them until this dream. The entire church was quiet, no one was singing. Suddenly, I began to quietly sing along spontaneously, raising up the name of Jesus. As I did, others began to sing and praise, and the power of the Holy Spirit began to descend. It was beautiful. After the song ended, I heard a word in my heart: Revival. 

And I woke up. Continue reading →

The Great Refuge and Safe Harbour

WHENEVER I write of “chastisements” or “divine justice,” I always cringe, because so often these terms are misunderstood. Because of our own woundedness, and thus distorted views of  “justice”, we project our misconceptions on God. We see justice as “hitting back” or others getting “what they deserve.” But what we often don’t understand is that the “chastisements” of God, the “punishments” of the Father, are rooted always, always, always, in love.Continue reading →
