I have reached this place. There is literally nothing I can do of myself. Holy hours of reparation seem to me the best thing I can do. I always think of little Francisco of Fatima spending long times in the Church keeping " the little hidden Jesus" company because " He is so sad." And with my morning offering I pray for the rescue and restoration of the Church. Also I make this my Mass intention. And my Rosary intention. Just keepin,' on keepin' on.
He is so right! It's the Silence! None of our Priests speaking out. I'm ashamed I'm in the same place. I am praying more than I ever have in my life. I never thought I could say more than one Rosary, now it is my Anchor.
Padre Pio was a hardy man. It would take something utterly appalling, something unthinkable, to cause him to faint. God intervened in Sodom and Gomorrah. He may do so again. God help us all.
I am kind of sympathetic to the the poor priests. They are kind of at the bottom of the ladder like ourselves. It would be from the Bishops on up would concern me. But I love what Billy Graham said, 'I have read the Bible to the end and it all works out'. Also what Pope St John 23rd said, 'It is Christ's Church and He will take care of it'. I am very much afraid things are going to get far, far worse before they get better. I would really, really encourage all Catholics to do their very best to get to Daily Mass at the present time. We really need this protection. Also the daily rosary.
There are many wonderful laypeople and clergy speaking out. But I am afraid the clergy of the False Church are totally , totally determined to push through their agenda. They believe they are right just as much as we believe they are wrong. I suppose making there videos does some good in alerting a few people and it can be pleasant to vent. But apart from that. .... It is having the power that counts and they have the power in spades. Every little bit of and they are not going to change their minds any time soon. I am not being negative I believe prayer is the answer. We cannot talk people out of being evil, I wish we could.
I suspect a lot of things going on in the Church are directly Satanic. The same thing in the past with Judas.
Yes Mary will break the back of Satan and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will occur. But there will be a lot of deep black water between now and then. I was listening to Fr Ripperger this morning and he claimed that the events in the first part of Malachi Martin's book. 'Windswept House ', actually took place, it involved a Cardinal raping a ten year old girl in the Pope's private Chapel and dedicated it to Satan. Mind blowing. I think in the book that was Cardinal Bernadin.
I remember reading Windswept House. The beginning of the book was the most frightening episode I have ever read.
There is great power in our humble prayers. We may be looking for a specific outcome, but God considers the sincerity of our hearts and responds according to His Will which is always for the best! Psalm 108:1 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul! 2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! 3 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations. 4 For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth! 6 That thy beloved may be delivered, give help by thy right hand, and answer...
One thing that concerns me about events in the Vatican and in the Church in Modern times is the lack of personal discernment especially amongst the higher clergy. If a Catholic is leading a good devout life, say going to daily mass and saying the rosary, keeping the commandments and doing their best, I would expect them to have at least a basic level of Discernment when coming face to face with evil, especially great evil. For as Scripture indicates: John 10:11-18 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” I would expect an even higher level of Discernment amongst the Shepherds. Especially Bishops, Cardinals and Popes. That they would know a bad dude when they met him. To see through them so to speak. But clearly this simply just has not been happening.
Sometimes I wish we, the lay people, would storm the Vatican with our rotten lettuce and tomatoes and let the clergy know we've had enough. Instead I will try to get an extra rosary in for all those corrupt shepards. Regarding the episode of the Windswept House, I am not completely sure but I believe this is that girl. She is a warrior. https://rachelmastrogiacomo.com/interviews/
Here was also this which was a huge, huge scandal in Italy and seems to have high level Satanic Clerical involvement in the Vatican: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Emanuela_Orlandi
