+++ HOLY SATURDAY / THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER +++

Our Sorrowful Mother with 30 Pieces of Silver at Her Feet

30 Pieces of Silver, the Price of the Life of Our Blessed Lord

Yes, that is really 30 pieces of silver. There is something greatly emotional about holding them in your hand. It gives a new perspective on the Gospel account of Judas’ betrayal. It brings tears to your eyes. It is the price of what is priceless. It seems to cut into the collective heart, to the deepest part of what it means to be human…and not just human, but redeemed human. This small heap of silver taps into an inner knowing beyond the conscious mind. Somehow, part of us knows what it is looking at. The glittering in the light. The weight which feels as if it lies upon your very heart. The small amount of value, but the greatest spiritual significance.

“Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you?”

Matthew 26:14

Note: This is about all the silver I own, so don’t come to my house thinking I have a ton of it:) BTW, the weight of this silver coin was 1 lb, 9.6 oz. It really is an experience to hold it in your hands. Think about silver.

Reflections on This Week's Rosary Campaign

My husband Don and I just prayed Monday’s Joyful Mysteries for the WEF conference. What continually came to me, with each Mystery, was the glory of the Light of Christ and how it completely overshadows darkness…to the point where darkness seems utterly irrelevant, anathema. Each event happened in a very particular time and place for the benefit of humanity…

“For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.”

John 3:16

In light of the Good News, how can any earthly cabal of evildoers, no matter how powerful, at all disturb us? Christ’s Light fills the whole world. These pockets of evil are like fires which burn themselves out. They always come to naught. They always end in miserable failure.

So let our hearts not be troubled, but let us also be realistic, understanding these times and how we must address them. Especially if there are vulnerable ones in our care, we cannot be willfully blind, which is a sin. We have a duty to them, to know what is happening around us and the implications of it…

“Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season. Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.”

Matthew 24:45

So, in the grand scheme of things, the machinations of evil are like a drop in the ocean of God’s love and the wondrous world in which we live. However, in earthly time and space, these are the challenges we must rise to, to win our Heavenly reward.

Tuesday’s Sorrowful Mysteries showed me something I never thought about before. Each Mystery of Our Lord’s Passion involves the shedding of His Precious Blood. The ground of this earth was soaked with His Blood, sanctified and redeemed by it. Evil can hold no sway over us now. It has lost all its power completely. We must only enter into this Mystery, the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church. How obscene for evil to think it can override or overwrite the Blood of Christ. We already have the victory!

+++

Wednesday’s Glorious Mysteries illumined something similar to the Joyful Mysteries. Evil cannot stand the Light. Heaven is so enthralling as to make evil and any earthly suffering insignificant. This is how the martyrs go to their deaths. Each Glorious Mystery involves an event of spectacular wonder and importance. The demons cannot look at such things. They recoil, run away, hide…in the darkness, under rocks, under the ground. St. Patrick, when returning to Ireland triumphant, drove all the snakes away. This of course, is a metaphor for driving away sin.

The World Economic Forum and their ilk must persecute the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church because they cannot coexist with her. The two are diametrically opposed, traveling in opposite directions, eternally. No common ground. Which is why all of society’s systems are becoming inversions of what they should be: the medical system is no longer about health, the academic system is no longer about learning, the political system no longer serves the people. The sane folk left must engage in fight or flight at this point. There are no other options when the human condition has reached its boundaries.

“And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:5

Deo Gratias!

The Luminous Mysteries take us on the journey of Jesus’ ministry, the telling of the Good News, ending in the Last Supper, immediately prior to the Passion. 3 of the Mysteries involve Sacraments, one is Our Lord’s teaching and the other, the revelation of His glory. The dark forces of this world, which have acquired so much power due to the sins of mankind, have no use for any of this. In fact, they actively work against Christ, His teachings of love and peace and His Holy Church.

The World Economic Forum stated 8 years ago, that by 2030 “Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.” This prediction is coming true right before our very eyes. They mean what they say and a strategy is being systematically implemented. Western values of morality and human rights came from Christendom. We are arguably living in a post-Christian society, or even worse, a degraded form of “Christianity.” A world redeemed by Christ’s Blood and in rejection of it, must suffer the consequences.

The images presented here are from the Rebel News video:

Who’s All Here at the World Economic Forum?  Touring the Davos Promenade.

This is a 25-minute video, in which Ezra Levant of Rebel News and his team, walk through the outdoor Promenade of this year’s World Economic Forum.  Every year, this lovely skiing village in the Swiss Alps, is transformed into a mall of globalist propaganda as the world’s powerful people meet to decide the future.  This look into the belly of the beast is quite eye-opening.  It shines a light upon darkness, if you have the eyes to see the truth behind the lies. 

In this footage, they discuss child trafficking, along with clips of Klaus Schwab suggesting an end to free elections and Yuval Harari referring to “useless people” with a look of disgust on his face.  Levant describes the WEF as “a parallel crypto-government…this is a bad ideas laboratory that is being pumped into the arteries of the world, into every country.”   

Apparently, the WEF Promenade also has its own laws in place during this annual week.  Distributing Christian literature is illegal, while a Shamanic ritual is performed at the actual conference.  Christians were removed from the Promenade by police and told to go elsewhere in the city.  Rebel News speaks to these peaceful people:

World Economic Forum EXPELS Christians

Here’s an article by Catholic News Agency describing the Brazilian pagan ritual:

Shamanic Ritual at World Economic Forum:  What Spirit Rules in Davos?

For a group of people who are known for their dislike of tradition, it is ironic that this presentation invoked respect for “the wishes of our ancestors.”  I guess they’re selective.  This Shamanic rite included the participation of those in attendance at the Forum.  None of this is surprising if you’ve done the research on these cabals of influential leaders…the road leads straight to Hell and it gets extremely dark.  They are showing their true colors and still your neighbor down the road has no idea and doesn’t want to hear it…and won’t even realize there’s a problem until it’s too late.  The poor ignorant tribal people will not have the opportunity for conversion at Davos, unless they manage to run into the Christians by accident.

Friday…the Sorrowful Mysteries once again, on the final day of the WEF conference.  “Deciding Your Tomorrow.”  This sign on the walkway, whatever its specific meaning, crystallizes their whole mission…and the injustice of it.  Who were the decision-makers involved in Our Lord’s Passion?

Jesus, in His Agony, contemplated the suffering He would endure the next day.  In a bloody sweat, He wished for this “cup” to be taken from Him, but acquiesced, “Thy will be done.”  These small men, Jews and Romans, would make the decisions which would ultimately turn upon them.  Satan always works against himself.  We know how the story ends.  This is our story as well…”the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.”  The Jewish leaders made decisions, Judas made a decision, those who yelled for the release of Barabbas, Pilate, Our Lord’s tormentors…they all made decisions.  All were guilty to varying degrees.  But in God’s great plan, these decisions wrought our salvation.

It is hard to understand how, surrounded by the beautiful Swiss Alps, anyone could fail to recognize and praise God’s creation.  How can one look at an unborn baby, so helpless and innocent…and feel nothing?  How can one look at a baby in his mother’s arms and think nothing of releasing bombs upon their heads?  How could all those who participated in the torture and death of Our Blessed Lord, look upon His Holy Face and fail to become enthralled with love?  It’s not our job to understand, just to make sure we are nothing at all like them.

In the month of the Holy Name of Jesus, the World Economic Forum denies this Name.  The workers of evil are so terrified by His Name, they cannot stand to even be near those who speak it.  There is no room for Christ in their hearts because His teachings of love are opposed to their methods of control.  Decisions are constantly being made that affect all of our lives, by those who actively work against Christ and His Church…and in fact all that is good, it seems.  So we must make decisions as well.  Go along with it?  Fight?  Flee?  It is a time for decisions.  And many of these will not be easy.

Just as those plans made long ago by those who thought they could defeat Christ, failed…so too will those made by todays evildoers fail…and the meek will inherit the earth and build a new world, close to God and nature, the Authentic Life…and the Bride of Christ will be restored to her pristine beauty!  

January is the Month of the Holy Name of Jesus ~ Nomen Christi!

Holy Church in her wisdom, begins the secular New Year honoring Mary, Mother of God, imploring her much-needed intercession along with the Circumcision of Our Lord in the traditional calendar.  The significance of the Circumcision is twofold:  Our Blessed Infant Lord, though the Son of God, was still subject to the Law and this is the ritual in which He received the Name “Jesus,” meaning “God saves.”  This Name invokes both the identity and mission of Christ. 

Following the Circumcision, we celebrate the Holy Name of Jesus, which is also the theme of the Month of January.  We begin a new year contemplating the Name of Christ Jesus.  We honor His identity as the Second Person of the Holy Trinity and His mission as our Redeemer, the shedding of His innocent Blood at the Circumcision, a reminder of His Sacrifice upon the Cross.  What better way to start a new year than to flee to Our Lord and His Mother! 

“Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Matthew 6:33

Epiphany of Our Lord is held on January 6th, in both the trad and new calendars.  The feast of the Holy Family is Sunday, the 7th, which is also the new feast of the Baptism of Our Lord.  The trad feast of the Baptism is on the 13th.  Our Lady of Prompt Succor is honored on the 15th.

Septuagesima Sunday is the 28th, beginning the short season of Septuagesima, a preparation for Lent.

As we discussed a “Marian Triad of the Months” from August to October, we now celebrate a “Christological Triad of the Months” from December to February:  The Divine Infancy, the Holy Name and the Passion of Our Lord.  Please note, these “triads” are not official Church ideas, but something unique to this Apostolate.  We strive to see how these months tie together theological themes and present an opportunity for prayer and meditation. This ministry also has a special dedication to the Holy Name and Our Lady of Fatima.

Traditional Catholic Calendar for January

New Year’s Blessings to all! Let us pray for a holy, happy and healthy 2024 and think positively about the coming year.

DNA Contamination in Covid Shots: Very Serious Problem / Thoughts for the Day

“Our blindness is monetizable by anybody who doesn’t suffer from it. To the extent that we are slowed down in realizing what is taking place, other people will have placed bets and they can transfer our wealth by knowing what…events are going to take place.”

“The word that we need to focus on is ‘counter-intuitive.’ In the circumstance where you are being presented a false dichotomy…the same puzzle that humanity has faced for centuries, and you’re about to do it again and you know that it’s a cycle that doesn’t go anywhere good, and is only getting more dangerous based on new weapons…you can be certain that the right move is going to involve a healthy dose of the counter-intuitive. You’re gonna have to think some thought that sounds wrong at first. You’re gonna have to make some move that people are gonna swear is immoral or unbearably dangerous…You’re gonna have to do something unexpected to break out of the trajectory…”

bret weinstein

…or maybe in our case, with the illumination of the Holy Ghost, the word is intuitive. Not to toot my own horn, but I never thought for a moment that those Covid shots were at all safe…and have you seen the recent reports of DNA contamination? (see links below)

Words from Saint Paul for our Times

The Armor of God

The breastplate of justice

The shield of faith

the helmet of salvation

the sword of the spirit

“Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints…”

Ephesians 6:11-18

22 Years: 9/11 Prayer, Song, Scripture, & Meditation

Light a candle and pray with your family, sometime this week…

O Most Holy Trinity, we light this candle for all the victims of that terrible day, 22 years ago.  We pray for those at the World Trade Center, including the 2 planes, those at the Pentagon, including the plane, and those on the plane in Pennsylvania.  We pray for the first responders who gave their lives.  We give to Thee all those who died or suffered in any way, along with their loved ones.  We remember also, those who continue to live with physical and mental disability.  May they all be healed and brought close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  May we never forget them.  We also lift up to Thee, those responsible for  these horrific crimes against God and humanity.  May they be brought to repentance and mercy. 

God bless the United States of America, and may we become once again, a nation respecting the laws of God, the sanctity of life and all human rights.  Lord have mercy upon us.

Amen.

Song:  Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

and with fear and trembling stand;

ponder nothing earthly minded,

for, with blessing in His hand,

Christ our God to earth descendeth,

our full homage to demand. 

King of Kings, yet born of Mary,

as of old on earth He stood,

Lord of Lords, in human vesture,

in the Body and the Blood.

He will give to all the faithful

His own Self for heav'nly food. 

Rank on rank the host of Heaven

spreads its vanguard on the way,

as the Light of Light descendeth

from the realms of endless day,

that the pow'rs of Hell may vanish

as the darkness clears away. 

At His feet the six-winged seraph,

cherubim with sleepless eye,

veil their faces to the Presence,

as with ceaseless voice they cry,

“Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord Most High!” 

(Picardy/Moultrie) 

And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.  And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed…Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows…And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come…For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be…And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.  So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors…Watch ye therefore, because ye know not what hour your Lord will come…Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season…Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. 

Matthew 24 

On that day 22 years ago, 2,996 people died and many more suffered, as Our Lady of Sorrows looked on from Heaven.  She continues to watch over her children with the love and compassion of her Immaculate Heart.  She understands the Foot of the Cross.  And she leads us to the joy of the Resurrection.  Death is never the end of the story. 

The “candle” Saint Francis refers to is the soul illumined by the Light of Christ.  As the hymn states:  “…the Light of Light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the pow'rs of Hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.”   

Our Lord’s prophecy in this Gospel chapter refers to the End of Time.  We do not know where we are in that timeline, but it is clear that the world is changing.  Even if we are not at “The End,” the words above are still relevant to our times.  We are seeing unprecedented sorrows, the global reach of the Gospel and unnatural endeavors which have never been attempted before.  We are told to be watchful.  We are told to prepare and provide for those in our care.  If we heed these commands, we will be deemed “blessed” and win our heavenly reward! 

Saints of September 11th, Protus, Hyacinth, Paphnutius and Adelphus…pray for us!

Luke 7:11 and Our Lady of Sorrows

“And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.  And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.  Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.  And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.  And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.  And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.”

Luke 7:11

Above is the Gospel passage for today, the 2nd Sunday in this month of Our Lady of Sorrows.  Do you notice anything?  This account of one of Our Lord’s miracles of raising the dead, foreshadows the Passion and the Resurrection.  Mary was a widow at the foot of the Cross, which is why Jesus gave her to Saint John, to be cared for by him.  Her Son was crucified, but raised after 3 days!  She never lost hope, trusting that this was part of God’s great plan for the redemption of the human race. 

Our celebrant at the Tridentine Mass in Glen Cove, New York, brought light to this scripture.  He mentioned that the crowd would have been astonished by Our Lord touching a dead body, as this was considered unclean.  He drew the parallel to us when we are in a state of sin.  Christ reaches out to us in our misery, to lead us to the sacrament of Penance and the great peace that follows.  It is a bathing of the soul.  We are all that young man, given back to our Holy Mother Church, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Another point Fr. Daniel made, was that once you are forgiven, it is time to become a witness.  As soon as the boy was raised, he spoke.   How important this is in our own time, as the world has forgotten all that is good and Godly.  Let us courageously speak of the love and mercy of the Most Holy Trinity to all the world and transform the face of the earth!

RFK Jr. & Abortion

RFK Jr., the son of Bobby Kennedy, who was killed in Los Angeles, 1968, is campaigning for President of the United States on the Democratic ticket. The Washington Post claims he already enjoys 20% of this party’s support. He is also attracting many on the “right,” due to his centrist leanings and promise to secure our freedoms, in post-Covid America. He has straddled the fence on abortion in the past, but has now fallen decidedly against the unborn. Have a look at these 2 articles…

Robert F Kennedy Jr. Supports Abortion

The Hole in the Heart of RFK Jr.’s Extraordinary Book

Sadly, RFK Jr. is a Catholic who purportedly attends Mass daily and even wrote a children’s book on his patron saint, Francis of Assisi, in 2005. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. would do well to contemplate the words of Holy Scripture, perhaps speaking of these very times…

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.”

Apocalypse 3:15

A Deep Dive into Biblical Typology with Dr. Taylor Marshall

Dr. Taylor Marshall joins Anthony and Rob to do a deep dive into how the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament through biblical typology.

March 27th, 8:00 PM LIVE! US ET

“Avoiding Babylon [YouTube] was started during the height of the COVID 19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity.”

My husband and I know Anthony Abbate from our local Tridentine Masses that we attend on Long Island. He’s a great guy and has a beautiful family. We are really excited about Dr. Marshall on the upcoming show. My husband is also a regular in the chat…please give his channel your support and tune in!

WEF 2023 Part 2

[Edited since posting.]

We might ask ourselves: “Should we be looking at the World Economic Forum at all?” We must maintain the perspective that this is only one manifestation of the spiritual warfare now upon the world. God has one unified Church. Satan has many factions all over the world, which he even pits against each other for his own ends…

“Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?”

Luke 11:17

The WEF is simply one part of this System to destroy Christendom and usher in…something else. These minions have operated in the shadows for centuries. But as Satan’s power rises due to rampant sin, a time must occur when the authoritarian structure becomes obvious. This is now beginning and the WEF is part of it.

Being that we are dealing with an evil genius of an angelic nature, we must always ask ourselves, “Am I falling right into a trap? Am I doing exactly what it wants? Who benefits?” What might be the negative results of looking at the WEF? There is often the element of distraction. “Look over here,” while something is going on elsewhere…the classic magic trick. Turning our attention to certain presentations can also distract from the positive things we should be doing, by taking up too much of our time. There can also be a provocation to push-back, or even violence, which gives them the excuse to crack down harder and say, “Look at these right wing white supremacist conspiracy theory terrorists!” Of course push-back is important, but understand it may not go well for you (look at the truckers in Canada). And there is the potential for despair…becoming traumatized, demoralized and paralyzed. Oh, and let’s not forget deception…is what’s being presented even true?

On the other hand, ignorance isn’t always bliss. One could say, “This is just a bunch of sci-fi freaks having fun in Davos with their chocolate-covered strawberries and Rothchild wine.” This might be fine it they weren’t actually beginning to implement these insane agendas. We can’t hide our heads in the sand. This is happening. If we don’t care about ourselves, we at least have a duty to our children, to the future. It must be exposed. Once we know what is happening, we can develop a counter-system to respond effectively. This can only be fight or flight. We must all ascertain at this time which option God is asking of us.

“You have to understand there are people using 5th generation warfare [military-grade psychological/information operations]…they have this crazy view that you have to first destroy the old before you can bring in the new…their model is “Let’s wreck all this [then] we build back better,” but they don’t know what they’re messing with…if you break it, you can’t do any building back…the chance of them not breaking this is closing in on zero…which means you need to know who’s your tribe, who can you trust, where’s your food coming from, how are you gonna heat your home, who do you want to be…

understand the game, extract yourself from the game and become a participant in the new game.”

Dr. Chris Martenson

Have a look at Chris Martenson’s website above. He’s been putting out great content, encouraging a positive attitude and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of community…it takes a village!
