(Make the Sign of the Cross before to start reading and read all…) – October 2, 2020
“The time of Divine Patience is coming to an end. This time is dated: 2020. […] The times ahead will be difficult, and we’ll have to learn to make sacrifices with dignity, just as a Christian is supposed to deprive himself without whining.
The complaining Christian has lost the notion of penance, which is a personal privation known only to God. Penance or satisfaction, says the catechism, is:
- Prayer or a good work done to atone for one’s sins.
- Almsgiving.
- Mortification, which is the deprivation of a pleasure.
Penance has been lightened considerably in recent decades, but this has not been a blessing. Penance has always been proposed by the Holy Catholic Church to its faithful to help them in their march towards sanctification.
The Church’s Commandments rigorously proposed penance out of respect for the Greatness, Majesty and Purity of God, prescribing fasting on all the days of Lent and the vigils of holy days of obligation, and abstinence on all Fridays of the year.
Today, abstinence is maintained only on Lenten Fridays, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting days now only exist on these two days. As a result, many Catholics do not remember this recommendation, which is indeed a commandment.
(The rules of the world…)
The faithful are encouraged to follow the rules of the world, and there are those who believe that charity only refers to one’s neighbor.
- But charity relates to our neighbor only because it has God as its object;
- it is because we love God that we love His creature.
Pagans also love their friends or humanitarian causes, but they don’t think of serving God in their neighbor. They don’t serve Him, and their humanitarian action remains in the temporal order. The angels don’t help them in these humanitarian works, which may or may not work according to human skill alone.
Human competence is necessary, of course, but this same competence, implanted in Divine Love for His creatures, makes it meritorious and calls down Divine Love and gratitude upon it.
- Any work done out of love for God and His creative work is rewarded by Him in Eternity.
- • Any work done outside of His love is nothing to Him.
Charitable works are praiseworthy in the sense that they come to the aid of men, their fellow human beings, but any work done for the neighbor as God has taught is an act of obedience and love for Him. This distinction is essential and is taught in Catholic religion lessons.
Charity, like faith and hope, is a theological virtue because it has God as its object.
(The purpose of life…)
Man was created to know, love and serve God, and then to see and possess Him eternally in Heaven.
- Man, on earth, has no other necessity than to serve God in order to enter Heaven to enjoy Him eternally. Any man who ascribes any other purpose to his earthly life is in error.
- The man who lives to amass wealth, forgetting God, is liable to eternal hell.
- The man who works hard to do good, like an atheist, is working for a purpose other than that for which he was created: to serve God in whatever way he can. He may be useful to human society, but he is not in his primary role.
(The duties and fate of rulers…)
The head of state who recognizes the need to lead his country according to Christian laws is serving God and fulfilling his duty of state.
He who declares that God is elsewhere than in the affairs of the nation, is also elsewhere than in his role as a creature whose duty is to serve God and his neighbor for His sake.
This understanding of man’s nature is vital, for blessed eternal life depends on it. Yet in eternity there will ultimately be only two states: happiness in Heaven or unhappiness in Hell.
May you, My dear children, choose the blissful, eternal life. I await you there and love you like the Elder Brother that I am.”

Pray for the Church, its Hierarchies, the validly ordained and consecrated during this time of confusion and apostasy. Do not fall into the trap of division, even with apparent good reasons. Turn your eyes to the lives of saints, such as St. Martin de Porres, St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, the former discriminated against and the latter fought by the same institution. Let their behavior in adversity be an example for you to follow…
“The Church is God’s house. It is forbidden for men to enter here with bare arms and wearing shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter wearing trousers, bare headed, with short, low-necked or sleeveless dresses.”
“Parents, correct the ways if your family, have much dialogue with your children, make time to listen to them as many homes are being lost due to lack of love, dialogue, understanding and most specially for not inviting God. Take God back into your homes, pray my Holy Rosary, as the family that prays together stays together.” 
January 31, 2022 "Heavenly Father, today, I surrender to You my heart. Help me to be Your instrument in the world. Cover me with the Precious Blood of Your Divine Son. Guard me against all evil. Protect me from any evil plan Satan may have for me today. Clothe me in Your Divine Will. Amen"
"O Hearts of Jesus and Mary; I consecrate myself, I consecrate my family and the whole world, to your Most Beloved Hearts. Listen to the supplication which I making to you and accept our hearts in Yours, to be delivered and protected we, the whole world, from all evil and all sin. May the protection of your Two Hearts be refuge, strength, and protection, in the daily spiritual struggles. That the power of your Two Hearts irradiates the world so that it is protected from evil and sin. We willingly consecrate ourselves and consecrate all mankind to your Hearts; sure and confident, for your Great Mercy, to obtain the victory over the forces of evil in this world, and the eternal Glory in the Kingdom of God. Amen"
"O Virgin of Carmel, may the power of your Holy Scapular take away from me the enemy of my soul; bless me, Mother of Carmel, and deliver me from all evil and danger in this world. I ask you O Mother, that in the hour of my death, your Holy Scapular frees me from the fury of the devil and in the eternity, of the eternal fire. Amen" 
"Oh Jesus of Divine Mercy, hear my pleadings to you, for I am here to do your Will"
"O glorious St. Joseph! by your profound humility, by your unalterable meekness, by your invincible patience, by your angelic purity and perfect fidelity that made you a timely imitator of the virtues of Jesus and Mary, I ask you to console me in all my sorrows, to guide me in all my doubts, to defend me in all temptations, to deliver me from all spiritual and material dangers; to extend your arm against all my visible and invisible enemies, breaking and destroying all the snares and barriers that they tend and arm against me. Amen" 
"Oh, blessed Saint Michael, protect us from the attacks and snares of the evil spirits because you know full well that we are poor mortals, fragile and weak, in need of the Mercy of God and of your protection to fulfill the mission that Heaven has commissioned to us. Oh, Saint Michael, may your victorious cry: “who is like God? no one is like God”, suppress and cast into Hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the destruction of souls. Amen"
Most sweet Jesus, redeemer of the human race, look down upon us, humbly prostrate before your altar. We are yours and yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with you, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to your most sacred heart. Many, indeed, have never known you, many too, despising your precepts, have rejected you. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to your sacred heart. Be you king, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken you, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned you; grant that they may quickly return to their father’s house, lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be you king of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one shepherd. Be you king also of all those who sit in the ancient superstition of the Gentiles, and refuse not you to deliver them out of darkness into the light and kingdom of God. Grant, O Lord, to your Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honor forever. Amen.
