Thursday, December 5, 2013 Masonic Symbols in Maria Divine Mercy's Seal of the Living God Maria Divine Mercy frequently mentions Masonic influences that supposedly have overtaken the Vatican and where behind the election of Pope Francis. That's one of the frequently raised issues by her followers who like to question the Church authorities and the Pope because, they believe, the Church is run by Free Masons. MDM seems to know quite a lot about Freemasonry. From now famous investigative article written by Saseen who wrote Maria Divine Mercy: The Woman Behind The Curtain, we find out that MDM's Jesus approved of the Seal the Living God, designed by an graphic artist who had Masonic symbols in his stock images. This is the read seal he designed. But what are the origins of this symbol - the cross and the crown? On a Polish Catholic blog 'In Defence of Tradition and Faith' we find an interesting comment, 'The seal of the Living God' that has been published on this page has kept me restless the whole day. I noticed that the seal contains the image of the cross with a crown. I contacted one of my friends, who has given me information that this sign is an ancient Masonic symbol of the Knights Templar" The cross with a crown. If we search the internet we come across such interesting information with a quote from a Freemason Ray V. Denslow: "The Cross and Crown may be said to be confined almost exclusively to the historical degrees in Masonry as exemplified in the various orders of knighthood of York and Scottish rites. In Gaul we find the cross to have been a solar symbol when it had equal arms and angles; to the Phoenicians it was an instrument of sacrifice to their God, Baal; and to the Egyptians, the crux ansata was his symbol of eternal life." (Ray V. Denslow, Masonic Portraits, Transactions of ths Missouri Lodge of Research, vol. #29, p.7---emphasis in the original) Masonic Symbols Source: http://mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.be/
On the same website we read further: The other group that uses the cross and crown emblem is Christian Science. This group was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in Massachusetts but Mason Henry Steele Olcott, who was co- founder of the Theosophical Society with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky,'" was an associate of Mary Baker Eddy.'" Some Eddy Brothers held seances and it was at these seances that Blavatsky met Col. Henry Steele Olcott.'" Mary Baker Eddy herself had married a Mason and this was the only secret society which she allowed other Christian Science members to join.'" She even had some of her material published in the Freemason's Monthly Magazine. "4 Several people connected with Christian Science such as directors and board members and a number of the editors of The Christian Science Monitor were Masons.'" Even the presidents of the Mother Church in 1922-23 and 1923-24 Source: http://www.whale.to/v/cross_and_crown.html And there is another group that uses the crown and the cross symbol. That is Jehova's Witnesses' organisation Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society! Quite an interesting choice - and this is the design that Jesus approved, as we read in Saseen's article?

Friday, December 20, 2013 Renowned Exorcist: Maria Divine Mercy's Visions Undoubtedly False Father Elija Vella, an exorcist from Malta Father Elija Vella was asked about Maria Divine Mercy during a Radio Maria program. Below is the transcript of what he had to say on the subject: Question sent to Fr Elija: "For someone to say she is Maria Divine Mercy and that Jesus is appearing to her and He tells her the Pope is False. How can we find out if this person is genuine or not? Because a number of persons, some of them go to Mass every day, are believing these messages. What do you think?" Fr. Elija: Thanks for asking because this way I will have the chance to reply to several doubts which were also raised on these, let us call them "private revelations". Today there any many who say that Jesus appears to them, Our Lady appears (...). And many times we start to doubt the authenticity of these visions. A vision can be deceptive, from the part of the person who without even knowing wants to have attention brought upon her. She wants everyone to talk about her. So this is deception coming from the person. It can be psychological (a cause), i.e. the mind makes you see and your ear makes you hear that which in truth is not real, but you are convinced that it is real. Naturally, psychiatry calls these hallucinations or illusions. Thus, many are those who often are convinced of seeing or hearing, without any deception from the person. In reality, they are themselves being deceived, because what they see or hear is not real and is just psychological. The third case involves the devil making use of one's fantasy and imagination, and sometimes also uses visions. In reality this is deception .Because in this way, he will be giving messages in the name of Jesus or Mary, but the messages will really be against what Jesus and Mary want. Thus the evil one will be doing his part. Then we have those who have authentic visions, like at Lourdes and Fatima. These are authentic because after many studies even from the part of the Church, they are declared (by the Church) as being real and there is the Divine hand behind them. The Church takes its time to examine before arriving at a conclusion. The Church is very prudent and will not rush to tell you something is authentic. On the contrary it will declare it as false more quickly than to declare as authentic, because it does not want to allow even a doubt of deception. Now how to tell if in the case of a private revelation, if the person is truly authentic or not? You can notice from various factors. The first factor is obedience. When you notice disobedience towards (church) authority, you start to doubt whether this is really authentic or not. Probably it is not authentic. Recently I had a case in Sicily where we had some private revelations and I was involved to determine the authenticity and the testing which is done on these persons is about obedience. If you do not obey the Church, then that means there is no authenticity. This Sicilian case was declared not authentic because those who were claiming to receive visions, as soon as the (church) authorities gave them some directives or orders, they did not obey them. That is a clear-cut case which is not authentic. One also has to check whether the messages are agree spiritually and evangelically with the Bible. Here we have a case which is very very clear: Jesus tells her (Maria Divine Mercy) that the Pope is false. Jesus will NEVER tell something of the sort to any person. When we start to see that the visions spoke against the Bishop, against priests, against the Pope... Here immediately you can tell that DECEPTION is involved in this case, (Maria Divine Mercy) visions which are not authentic. If you were to tell me Jesus told this person to pray a lot for the Pope because he needs prayers, then such a vision could be authentic. If the vision tells you pray for the conversion of Priests and for the Bishop to be filled with the Holy Spirit, then yes that could be an authentic vision. But if the vision talks against the Pope, against Priests, against the Bishop, we can be 100% certain that they are not authentic. There is DECEPTION involved, perhaps from the part of the devil who uses these things, or the visionary (Maria Divine Mercy) herself is being deceived. She is being deceived in one way or another. We see that here we have to be careful. One cannot go beyond some rules or directives. This is one of the things that make us not just doubt, but we can be certain that these (Maria Divine Mercy's) are FALSE VISIONS. So this person claiming to be Maria DIVINE (Mercy), even here the very name is DECEPTIVE as nobody is DIVINE except for God. Not even the Madonna is divine. When we say DIVINE, only God is divine. How can a human person say I am Maria DIVINE? Not even Our Lady can say something like this. Divinity belongs to God only.As you can see, there are many clear signs that these visions are not authentic. We do not condemn those who believe (in these visions) as surely they do not do this out of evil intentions, they do it out of ignorance and somewhat excessive enthusiasm. They are in error, and let us pray with God's help to discern private revelations so as not to be deceived. That was a very important question, thanks to whoever asked it as I could say a word on this topic. Below is the recording of the radio program with English subtitles: * Fr. Elija Vella was born in St Paul's Bay. He is a member of Franciscan Conventual congregation. Fr. Elija graduated in theology in 1965 from the Lateran University, Rome and has thought theology for some years. He has written various books including "Satana" and "Diavoli e esorcismi". He was nominated by the Archbishop of Malta Mgr Joseph Mercieca as Official Exorcist of the Archdiocese of Malta. He is also president of the Archdiocesan Commission on Occult and Satanism. Father Elija leads prayers, seminars, retreats and spiritual exercises in several countries across five continents Source: http://mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.be/
Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Separated From God? Testimony On 22/11/13 this article was in my news feed: The Automatic Excommunication of Maria Divine Mercy and Her followers After I read that article, in particular the points about automatic excommunication, I felt an interior silence. It was then time for me to drive my children to school (1/2 hour trip) during which I was pondering what I had just read. Whilst I was driving, I saw and felt myself being separated from God, and a question was put to me, “Is this what you want?” In response, I had an overwhelming feeling of grief and from the depths of my soul, there issued out a deep cry... ”no!” I cant even begin the utter grief I felt when I cried out “no” to this question. It is something I will never forget. I immediately went to confession on my return home and have since walked away from these messages and their associated prayers. The Holy Spirit is the author of Canon Law, so would our Lord tell us do do something (in this case rebel against our Holy Father and thereby falling into schism) which violates His own Canon Law thereby excluding us from the sacraments, the very means of our salvation? It would be ironic if this message was indeed one of the many false prophecies as predicted by Jesus when He said that "many will come in my name". It is not up to us, the sheep to do anything but pray and trust. If the worst was to eventuate, that we would have an anti-pope, God himself would take care of the matter, just as he will take care of the matter when the Anti-Christ comes around. Don't forget that whatever purification happens, it will be allowed because the Church needs it(as you observe by the mess in the Church today). What about "pledging allegiance"? We don't pledge allegiance, we consecrate ourselves. And in prayer 33, which Father are we pledging our allegiance to? The Father of truth? Or the Father of lies? To whom do we bow in humble servitude? Up until these messages, I have never heard of these expressions before, the more I ponder them, the more I question, and wonder if this is Satan's way of obtaining allegiance (sneaky as it is) with the promise of paradise just like he promises paradise to those who pledge their allegiance to him in the Masonic Lodges. These and many other questions have plagued me since I turned my back on these messages. Please also view this websitehttp://mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.com.au/ If you are are truly seeking the truth, remember deciding to enter into a schism is serious, it is a matter of eternal life or death… Please… Consider carefully what you are doing.

I just received a message from a friend, of a conversion of someone who was a MDM believer , and changed her mind because of an interview MDM gave,and an interview Conchita ( of Garabandal ) gave,comparing what it is like after experiencing an apparition with Jesus. Here is the post I recieved....Praise God ! "I thought this group might be interested in this comparison also... We had been talking in another group about how after false visionary maria divine mercy had an apparition she said she felt drained and tired etc... according to the radio interview that Rosary Lovey transcribed. Well here is a description given by Conchita one of the Garabandal visionaries talking about how she felt after her ecstasy experience with Blessed Mother... (Conchita's ): — What did you feel during the ecstasies? — A very great peace and happiness! — If after a call you would have said, "Today I don't wish to see the Virgin," what do you think would have happened? — Oh! I never thought of doing that! Nor would I have thought of doing it for any reason. — What did you feel after a vision? — When I finished seeing the Virgin, it was as if I had left heaven . . . with a great desire to love Jesus and Mary, and to speak about them to people, which is the only thing that can give us joy: hearing and speaking about the Virgin. [Extract from Garabandal 1967 by A.M. de Santiago.(Edition Circulo-Saragossa) Conchita added these lines to her answers: «July 18,1966 — Forgive the poor writing, but I don't have much time . . . Today there is a fiesta going on in the village.» http://www.ourlady.ca/info/book2/two2d-Epiphany.htm Now compare that to what MDM stated in her radio interview...This was the quote that a commenter mentioned from the MDM interview... "I’m still overwhelmed, because, when you’re in his presence, it’s a light and it’s an energy that comes out and that drains you." Conchita was joyful about her experience but MDM was 'drained'. ??????? ( how can one be "drained " after being in HIS presence?
Thank you Glenn, and it is not only Conchita who feels that way after an apparition but also the visionaries of Medjugorje. So the MDM followers should really start waking up !
Elisa, Does this bother you? PROGRESSIVIST DOCUMENT OF THE WEEK Italian Freemasonry officially supports Pope Bergoglio The day after the election of Pope Francis I, the Grand Orient of Italy (GOI), which represents Freemasonry in that country, issued a formal communiqué praising him for the first egalitarian measures he took on the day of his election. The document also made public the Freemasons' expectations that the new Pope shall lead the Church on the democratic path desired by Masonry. This attitude was registered on the official GOI website. A photocopy of its webpage is found below, followed by a enlarged copy of the part referring to Francis I. The photos are preceded by our translation of the Italian, in blue. Communiqué Rome, March 14, 2013 Grand Master Raffi: "With Pope Francis, nothing will be more as it was before. It is a clear choice of fraternity for a Church of dialogue, which is not contaminated by the logic and temptations of temporal power" "A man of the poor far away from the Curia. Fraternity and the desire to dialogue were his first concrete words. Perhaps nothing in the Church will be as it was before. Our hope is that the pontificate of Francis, the Pope who 'comes from the end of the world' can mark the return to the Church-Word instead of the Church-Institution, promoting an open dialogue with the contemporary world, with believers and non-believers, following the springtime of Vatican II." These were the comments of Gustavo Raffi, Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, at the beginning of the pontificate of Francis, in the world Jorge Mario Bergoglio. "The Jesuit who is close to the least ones of history," Raffi continues, "has the great opportunity to show the world the face of a Church that must recover the announcement of a new humanity, not the weight of an institution that closes itself off in defense of its own privileges. Bergoglio knows real life and will remember the lesson of one of his favorite theologians, Romano Guardini, for whom the truth of love cannot be stopped. "The simple cross he wore on his white cassock," concludes the Grand Master of Palazzo Giustiniani, "lets us hope that a Church of the people will re-discover its capacity to dialogue with all men of good will and with Freemasonry, which, as the experience of Latin America teaches us, works for the good and progress of humanity, as shown by Bolivar, Allende and José Martí, to name only a few. This is the 'white smoke' that we expect from the Church of our times."
Picadillo, it is not because the enemy uses praising language towards the Pope, that the Pope will also follow the steps and/or recommendations of the freemasonry.
I feel like the pressure is getting to MDM ,and she will be exposed for who she really is , a fake , this year. Many concerned Catholics are requesting a ruling from their Bishops, putting more pressure on MDM as several Bishops have condemned her already.
Hasn't she already been expossed though? Now it is up for her followers to believe in what was already revealed to the world. Once in awhile I will click on the facebook likes of the people on this forum and when it goes to their facebook page it still shows many so far that like or link to her page. It is time people to pray and not be deceived by this false mystic.
What amazes me is the way those MDM followers react when you tell them that you do not believe in MDM or when you say that you trust in Pope Francis. They cut off every contact as if we become a danger to them... It is a terrible division among real catholic faithful people, that MDM is creating !
The exposure has started, but what is needed is condemnation on a large scale by church authorities,(maybe even the Vatican ) to the point where there is so much overwhelming evidence against her, all will see the truth.
Then all that we can do is pray for them for Mercy. It sounds like I need to dedicate a few chaplet's of Divine Mercy to them in the coming days. Once the weeds start in a garden it takes some time, work and patience to get rid of them before they choke out the rest of your plants.
Elisa/MS7, But it does make me feel uncomfortable that the head freemason of Italy feels the same way about the pope as I do. One of us is wrong, no?
Reminds me of Scar, the lion... Scar The Lion King The evil brother of Mufasa will do anything to become King of the Pride Lands, even if it means killing his brother and his nephew Simba. Although he only succeeds in murdering Mufasa, he convinces his nephew that it was his fault, leaving Simba to live with the guilt of his father’s death and tells the cub to “run far away, Simba, and never come back.”
MS7, Great analogy and great graphics. I pray you are correct, I just don't like the blurring of the lines.

the latest from MDM: http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.c...begin-this-spring-as-my-son-has-instructed-2/ Mother of Salvation: These apparitions will begin this Spring, as my Son has instructed Friday, January 24th, 2014 @ 20:05 My dear child, let it be known that I will make one more appearance at all the Marian grottos, which were approved by my Son’s Church, over the centuries. I will make myself known in Sacred sites, which will include Lourdes, Fatima, La Sallette and Guadalupe. I will also appear at Garabandal. These apparitions will begin this Spring, just as my Son has instructed. I will be seen, by chosen souls, with the sun behind my head. There will be twelve stars encircled and woven around the crown of thorns, which was worn by my Son during His Crucifixion, placed upon my head, as a sign for all to follow my example. My role is to lead all of God’s children along the Path of Truth and take them to my Son. When these apparitions take place, there will be no doubt, especially amongst those who pay homage to me, that I speak the Truth when I say that soon the final Path, which will bring you to my Son, in these the end times, will be through the Book of Truth. When you follow me, your Mother, I will take you and guide you towards my Son. My Son has promised many miracles, so that He can open your eyes to the prophecies He gave the world, through my own Mission. Many do not accept that I appeared at these special apparition sites and dismiss their importance in the salvation of souls. When I appear one last time at these sites and present myself as the Mother of Salvation, you will know then that this Mission is my last and that all apparitions lead to this final one to bring the world the Salvation, which is the birthright of every single person. Rejoice, for these days are close and when you hear of these things, then know that this prophecy, when fulfilled, could only have come from me, your beloved Mother, the Mother of Salvation, Mother of God. Your beloved Mother Mother of Salvation 'I will be seen by chosen souls' - by people planted at these sites I'd say. What evil nonsense - telling people the only path to follow is her Book of Truth!
