Spiritual Food 1412

Dear friends,

Behold a profound Word of Life for the month of December!

‘Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise’ (Lk 3:11).

(http://www.focolare.org/en/news/2014/11/28/parola-di-vita-di-dicembre-4/)

Dear friends,

It is true that we must help our brothers and sisters with material things such as a coat, but today, more than ever, there is needed the word:

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Mt 4:4)!

I offer to you this month what I sent to several priests in my diocese. The article is a little long. But precisely because there is less prayer today than ever before in the history of the world and of the Church, and that there is more sin than ever, even worse, almost total indifference, Satan has more power than ever to be able to disguise “himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14). Thus one of my principle motives to write is to try to help each other to open our eyes in order to not fall into the beautiful lies and underhanded deceptions of Satan who leads us to our destruction. The vast majority of people today have embraced the easier philosophy of life: “Ignorance is bliss”! But if one does not embrace the “dour combat with the powers of evil” (CCC 409) there will be no “bliss” tomorrow and after death for all eternity.

I do not think it was by chance that when Pope John Paul II was asked toward the end of his life to offer one verse from the entire Bible for the people of God, he responded without hesitation: “THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE” (Jn 8:32)! Father, “Sanctify them in the truth” (Jn 17:17)!

I have posted this email to these priests on the Web in English (and Italian), which you can find at:

Best wishes for a Holy Christmas with Baby Jesus, Mary and Saint Joseph! Give great joy to Baby Jesus for His Birthday (not ours!) by spending time with your family before Him in the Tabernacle with the Holy Rosary! Buon Natale!

An Experience of Life:

I was walking home from school when I saw a girl crying desperately on the street. "What might have happen to her?" , I thought. Without hesitation I approached her . I asked her how she was, if I could somehow help her ... She looked up and between sobs began to tell me her story. When she was a child she had lost her mother. This pain was still so strong that she thought that her life no longer had any meaning. And so I let go of my plans in order to think only of her, to love her and be near her . The conversation went on and I told her about myself. I, too , at the age of three years, I had lost my mother.

Over time I realized that my life could not stop on this pain, because I had discovered to have a Father, God, who loves me immensely. This love filled all the voids in my life. I told her how I tried to respond to God's love by loving others in turn. My new friend was so happy that while she waved to me, thanking me, she seemed like another person.

For me, this unexpected meeting was very important. I saw that the experience with Jesus, our best friend, not only made me happy, but it gave me the ability to bring this happiness to others.

‘For with Thee is the fountain of life’ (Psalm 36:9)

(http://www.focolare.org/en/news/2014/10/28/novembre-2014/)

Of course in this passage “Thee” is referring to God. But God is also the Truth: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (Jn 14:6).

Today there is a great attack against the Truth of God. And thus, a great number of people believe to have found the “fountain of life”, but instead it was offered to them the truth (“t”) and not the Truth (“T”) which come from Jesus, the Truth! The damage to souls due to this swapping of the Truth (of God) for the “truth” (of relativism) is enormous!

“The Truth (of God) will make you free!” (Jn 8:32). But the truth of relativismo will make us slaves in the worst way after a little pleasure outside of the Holy and saving Will of God!

“THE CHURCH, THE MOVEMENT AND THE CURRENT TIMES”

An Experience of Life:

Last year a girl in my school told me that she had a sexual relationship with a guy that she encountered on facebook, but had never met before.

I had previously tried to dissuade her from doing this, telling her that it was not the right thing and that she was loosing something very important. I could not do anything else, but she did not changed her mind, still not understanding the consequences of her choice. I was very sorry. This year, being in the same school, I tried not to lose her friendship, even though I did not agree with some of her ideas. One day - I really did not expect it – she came to me and said: "You know, I realize now that last year I made a stupid choice. I have regretted it, now I have another consideration about my body."

At that moment I realized that I was not wrong to have proposed to her a different view, neither had it been useless. This experience made me realize that we should not lose hope, even when we are the only ones to present certain truths.

P:S:

As you know, I am a member of the Marian Movement of Priests. During the International Spiritual Exercises, at Collevalenza – Sanctuary of Merciful Love (Madre Speranza), June 22-28, 2008, Father Michael Gaughran offered to over 200 priests and to over 10 bishops of the movement these words in a meditation, with the title of the meditation, “The Church, The Movement and the current times”:

Marian Movement of Priests

International Retreat, Collevalenza, 2008

The Church, The Movement and the current times

First Meditation

(Draft of the first meditation prepared in English by Father Michael Gaughran for spiritual exercises which are held annually at the Shrine of Merciful Love at Collevalenza (Italy), and here translated into Italian. The dates are when Father Stefano Gobbi received the interior locution from Our Lady.)

THE CLOUDS ARE GATHERING

[We have come to this point]

(We have put in square brackets the additions and/or corrections made by hand by Father Michael.)

Brethren, it is time to talk seriously.

We are going through a period in which many perceive the presence of a threatening atmosphere, both for the Church and for the world. On the one hand they have that threat to the Church herself, of which our Mother has so often warned us about, and for which she offers us there a remedy in the second commitment of the Movement (unity with the Holy Father), that the circular letter of Father Gobbi mentioned. But there's that other sense of threat perceived by many, the general breakdown of society, of morals and of the order in the world. Those of us who are diocesan clergy in touch with the anxieties of our people, know well who much this uneasiness is diffused. The fact is that we are in very serious times. [Is this the time when our mother will lead us out in the open? Only she can let us know. But we have to be ready.] This is why the right of God to rule in His own kingdom is seriously challenged, and we have entered the time of decisive conflict in which that challenge must be resolved. These are our times, times extremely serious for which the Marian Movement of Priests was founded by our Mother, and in which we find our vocation in the Church.

This being the case, it is essential to have a clear idea of what we are and what our Mother expects to receive from us.

Our Mother has described these times in this way:

"Today we live in dark times, because they are trying to reach in every way to compromise between God and Satan; between good and evil; between the spirit of Jesus and the spirit of the world. Many are in danger of becoming victims of this general confusion and even in my Church they would like to spread a false spirit, which is not that of Jesus the Son of God.

Like an invisible toxic cloud expands the spirit of mixing between God and the world, and it arrives to the point of taking away the force to the Word of God, stripping away the strength of the proclamation the Gospel" (December 8, 1982).

One must never read these words in a hasty manner, because they describe for us the true dimensions of the attack that was launched against the Church, which we were called to defend with all our weakness and poverty. If you do not let ourselves be penetrated by the seriousness of what she is telling us, the answer to our Mother will be, at best, below what is needed. When we read in the words of our Mother that they are trying to reach a compromise between the things of God and the things of Satan, it is clear that what is planned is nothing less than a complete demolition of the Church in our times. [total destruction. In the East, demolition] [8 dicenihre 1975].

Our Mother speaks of a kind of toxic cloud that generates confusion everywhere, in all that is good, and which stifles the spirit of Jesus in His people; and this we can see in the confusion in doctrine and morals that are taught in the Church by educated people, producing a vision of the Church that has nothing to do with the Church of Jesus Christ. This obscures the clarity of vision of men, depriving them of the ability to discern right from wrong, to see the distinctive good that comes from Jesus, the Word of God, from that which is human and inspired by the devil. A total demolition, in which an entity known as the Catholic Church will continue to exist, with all its outward appearance, rituals and vestments, and ways of working and exercising an authority, but without the supernatural trace of the teaching of Jesus. It will be the exponent of the works of Satan. As we have said they will try to oust God from His own creation and eliminate His right to reign in His own kingdom. Regarding all of this we can already say that we have been testimonies, in the light of the prophetic messages given to us by our Mother, while we have contemplated the progress of confusion, the lack of discipline, the division and persecution and, at times, even the rebellion in the Church, up to a point that we would not have thought possible.

It will be, as one hopes, the completion of the challenge or boasting of Satan, as we are told by the prophet Isaiah:

"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High’.” (Is 14:12-14).

[This is the desire of the adversary: the direct worship to himself]

Of course then the prophecy tells of the consequences of this arrogance:

“But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit. 16 Those who see you will stare at you, and ponder over you: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, 17 who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?' 18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb; 19 but you are cast out, away from your sepulcher, like a loathed untimely birth” (Is 14:15-19).

A terrible attack, which causes immense damage, which culminates in the defeat of the evil one. We are before the prophecy of the Antichrist, and this is the nature of our times and the times of this Movement. It was entrusted to us in these times, as a Movement of her priests, a special responsibility, and it is necessary that we strive to understand the great seriousness of involvement in which we find ourselves; otherwise we will not have that determination of heart needed to be fully engaged. One finds this in the messages.

These things are not very diffused [in public] by the high authority of the Church (presumably so as not to appear alarmists), but even so Cardinal Karol Wojtyla shows us a sign of how they are alive and dear to the heart of the Church, November 9, 1976, a few months before being elected as Pope John Paul II:

Today we are facing the biggest battle that mankind has ever seen. I do not think that the Christian community has fully understood this. Today we are facing the final battle between the Church and the anti-church, between of the Gospel and the anti-gospel. "[It is worth asking: do we know that many do not believe this?]

[THE ANTICHRIST]

The coming of the Antichrist and the man of iniquity. How else to interpret the words of the future pope, "the Church and the anti-church, the Gospel and the anti-gospel'': the final battle against the very Word? In a Movement like ours, so closely involved, such words must not be read but absorbed and taken to heart. In one of the earliest messages our Mother she tells us:

"What must these my sons, formed by me, now do, called and for the first time gathered together? They must be prepared, they must be ready: - For my orders, because soon I will call them and they will all have respond to me, ready to be used by Me to extreme defense of my Son, of Me, of the Gospel and of the Church.

They will be the salt in a world fully corrupted and the light in the darkness that has invaded everything. - To strive, because my Adversary will unleash his army against them and fight with them and will pursue them with a frightening combat. They will be ridiculed, despised, persecuted and some even killed. But I will always be with them and I will protect them and defend and comfort them, wiping each of their tears as only a mother know how. - To defend the Pope, already so alone to carry the cross of the Church; but the time will come when, like Jesus on the way to Calvary, he will be abandoned by almost everyone. Then these children of mine will be his comfort and his defense, and they will win with Me with the greatest battle of the Church" (September 23, 1973).

The ''extreme defense of my Son", "the greatest battle of the Church ", words that echo those of Cardinal Wojtyla. One has the impression of having arrived. I would say that these are the times of the great conflict with the anti-christ, the times for which our Mother has prepared us.

While this battle is described in terms which seem to imply even physical violence and force, and indeed this is not excluded (we can think of our own Servant of God, Father Nazarene, as well as others), we are talking about something much deeper and more subtle. We are dealing with the interior of the heart of humanity and of the Church, which is at stake. Nor should we look at this as something that concerns only the future. For years the silent assault is taking place. It is a direct assault against the Church at every level, but the attack which primarily regards us in the Marian Movement of Priests is, of course, the one directed against the priests. This is the most important part of the attack, and we can offer our compliments to the devil by saying that he knows his infernal job well! While it is true that we priests remain poor human beings invested with powers infinitely greater than we are, the fact is that we carry in our hands, in the sacraments of Life, the salvation of the world and the total response to the work of the devil: we bring Jesus Christ our Savior, living and working in us. He understands the Church and her spiritual reality better than any of us, and He is well aware that if one causes serious damage to the priesthood, or even if one succeeds in removing one priest from the exercise of his vocation, one inflicts serious damage. Here it is not necessary to repeat the horrendous statistics of the loss of priests and religious which occurred mainly after the Second Vatican Council, but the fact is that there was an attempt to strip the Church of a great number of her priests. But it is not simply a matter of numbers.

[IT IS AN ATTACK ON THE TRUTH OF GOD.]

It grew gradually. It is enough to think of a subtle change that happened around the time of the Second Vatican Council. With the arrival of the “experts” there developed the fashion of theologians (Note 1), regardless of whether or not they deserved the name; the fact that they had published a book, in general that was enough. This continues and, with this, the center that guides the Church in the minds of many, has shifted from where God had placed it, in the hierarchy, the Pope and the bishops in union with him, and became the various opinions of all sorts of writers. [The students collected the books.] So, this has had an impact not only on the priests, but also on seminarians in many universities. This is the first part of the attack: the attack on the truth of God, the foundation of the Church.

[DISCIPLINE]

Then let us think about another weapon used by our enemy: the attempt to undermine the discipline for which the Church has always been known. Its members always considered themselves linked among each other by the reins of obedience, and this was its protection. It is rooted in the certainty that the Church is ultimately governed by the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, led by His Holy Spirit, and not just by men, however intelligent, but you could say that, if we thought that the fulcrum of the guidance of the Church - as we have just said - had become the thoughts and opinions of theologians, then it would follow that the Church is founded on human opinion and not on Divna Revelation. [Every man would become pope himself.] This is perhaps the extreme damage that has been inflicted on the Church. The denial, however implicit, of the Holy Founder and His continued presence in the Church through his Holy Spirit, the guide of all. Exclude God from His Church and you have demolished the Church, even thug she may continue to adapt the same outward adornments.

This is the serious truth that underlines these words of our Mother:

"How many of you have stopped to consider His Word. They wanted to penetrate and understand it only with their own human intelligence and have thus inadvertently fallen into the most grave errors. It is not by human intelligence alone that the Word of my Son is to be read. He thanked the Father for having hid the mysteries of His kingdom from the wise and prudent of this world in order to reveal them unto the little ones. It is above all with inner humility, with full docility of the soul, that His Word is to be read and understood. For this, my Son entrusted the authentic interpretation solely to the Magisterium of the Church. This in order to accustom yourselves to this difficult, yet so necessary, attitude of humility and inner docility.

If you will be united to the Magisterium of the Church, if you will be humble and attentive to what She indicates to you, you will always remain in the truth of the Word of Jesus.

Today more and more in the Church there is spread error and it seems by now that there is no more suitable dike to contain it. It is spread above all by many theologians; it is spread by my poor Priest sons. How, today, in the Church, can you be certain to save yourselves from error? Look at my Son crucified and you will be faithful. My Son Who, being God, became obedient unto death on the Cross. Look at His thorns, look at His blood, look at His wounds: they are open flowers on the pain of His obedience.

My dearest children, now that the darkness engulfs everything, you are called to bear witness to the light of complete obedience to the Church: to the Pope and to the bishops united with him" (April 13, 1976).

The lack of discipline arising from a disunity towards the Holy Father and a loss of supernatural perspective in understanding the role of the Church as a teacher, leaves man in the throes of ways of thinking and behaving in ways foreign to the Church. Let us recall the words of Pope Paul VI cited for us by the spiritual director at the beginning of the Blue Book:

"What strikes me, when I consider the Catholic world, that is, within Catholicism, there seems to predominate sometimes a type of non-Catholic thought, and it may come about that this non-Catholic thought, in the inside of Catholicism, might become tomorrow the strongest thought. But i twill never represent the thought of the Church."

Yes, that thought [not Catholic] is in the Church, although coming from outside of the Magisterium; it is alien to her because it is not touched by grace.

Brethren, this is what happened in our Church. Let us be careful to see that the real evil is found not only in disobedience to particular commands, but in the entire attitudes. Our Mother refers to the need to be obedient to the Church even in those things that may seem like small issues, such as wearing the clergyman’s suit. It is not at stake the materale importance of what is required of us, but the question of levity, not to say indifference, in the way in which authority is considered and is set aside. Let us return to the need to see the authority of the Church in supernatural terms, and in the presence of the Lord which underlines the duty of obedience.

[THE SUPERNATURAL NATURE OF THE CHURCH]

Sadly, this lack of the sense of the supernatural has been the cause for some to neglect the seeking of the presence of God in their lives. No doubt, if a man does not lead a life centered on prayer, he can not lead a life as a good priest; such as: how can he properly live and act in the Person of Jesus, if he neglect to seek a union of spirit, alive and humble, with Him? Our Mother warns us about this:

"It is indiscipline, the lack of inner docility to God's will, which manifests itself in breach of your obligations of your state in life; the obligation of prayer, of good example, of a holy and apostolic life.

How many there are, among the priests, who let themselves be absorbed in disorderly activity and no longer pray! The habitually neglect the Liturgy of the Hours, the meditation, the recitation of the Holy Rosary. The limit the prayer to a hasty celebration of the holy Mass.

So these my poor children become internally emptied and have more light and strength to resist the many temptations in the midst of which they live. They are thus contaminated by the spirit of the world and accept its way of life, sharing its values, participating in its secular manifestations, they let themselves to be conditioned by its means of propaganda, and eventually they are covered by its same mentality. Then they end up living as ministers of the world, according to its spirit, which they justify and spread, causing scandal among many believers.

From here is born the widespread rebellion against the canonical norms that govern the life of Priests and the recurrent protest against the obligation of celibacy, desired by Jesus through His Church, and that in these it has been again firmly reaffirmed by Pope" (February 2, 1979).

This message merits a special reflection on the part of all of us, since it contains a wealth of analysis of the situation in the Church today, as a result of the enraged attack by our enemy. But I think we should pay special attention to the sad reference of our Mother to the state of scandal caused among the people. It is true that the attack comes from the enemy, and is primarily directed against the priests - a terrible satanic initiative - but even so we must say that the cooperation that he has received came from the priests, and is not the fault of the laity. Not that everyone might be perfect, and there is need of good pastors, but there has been a lack among many priests a lack of spiritual guidance owed to our people. There is a considerable sense of scandal in the Church today by good believers, in seeing the shortcomings and the divisions among priests and the disloyalty to the Holy Father. We must remember, as our Mother has just told us, that they are ordained to be servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, and not ministers of the world. [We can look at the events of recent years - pedophilia, prestige, opulence - mentioned in the Act of Consecration].

In looking at what we have said, we see taking form that which regards the purpose of the Marian Movement of Priests in the battle declared by our enemy. We have seen, in the first place, the attack on the truth of God and the alienation from the Magisterium which has been brought to many through a false concept of freedom. At the base there has been a loss of the supernatural sense of the Church, that is, the recognition of the presence and the hand and of the conducting authority of Jesus Christ our Lord. She is debased to the level of human society, subject to every whiff of human opinion. The Roman Catholic Church has, as one of its characteristic signs, that of being HOLY, precisely because of this presence and of this divine activity.

Against this division and alienation, our Mother demands of us the commitments that we assume in the Movement. In these days, in his circular letter for this year, as well as in what he chose to speak about in his retreat, Don Stefano paused on the second of those commitments: the union with the Pope and the hierarchy united with him. In this aspect, our Mother has offered to us the necessary refuge to escape from the alienation from the Truth of which we have spoken, for the Lord has granted us the truth through the person of the Holy Father, His guardian. together with the hierarchy united with him. Then she asks us to form this union in the Truth in those souls that are entrusted to our pastoral care, spreading the spirit of consecration to her Immaculate Heart among the faithful.

That unity she seals in the first of our commitments: the consecration to her Immaculate Heart. That heart she promised us as a refuge in the storms that surround us ("My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God"), and, in entrusting ourselves to her heart, we offer ourselves to be nourished by her holiness, by her knowledge, by her wisdom, so that we live a life that is hers, because it is lived with her and in her.

It is here that we find the gift that our Mother is doing for her Son in the battle in which the Church is involved. We have said that the attack is subtle, directed against the inner or the heart of the Church.

["Fear not, I repeat: you are mine and Satan will not touch them. You are in my garden and no one will snatch you from my Immaculate Heart.

The hour has arrived, thug, in which you will be called much greater sufferings: persecution, imprisonment, for some the offering of your life. Soon you will have to live moments that you could not withstand if next to you there was not your Mother.

Now you must prepare yourselves. For this, today, with solicitude I ask from you only docility, prayer and suffering" (February 11, 1978).]

Note 1:

When Pope John Paul II replied bluntly in response about many bishops who do not believe in the Devil: “Anyone who does not believe in the Devil does not believe in the Gospel”, the Vatican's chief exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, was asked in his interview of 2001: “Again, ARE YOU SAYING THAT MANY BISHOPS AND PRIESTS ARE NOT, CONSEQUENTLY, CATHOLIC?” Amorth replied: “Let us just say that they do not believe a Gospel truth. So, if anything, I would stop them propagating a heresy. But, to be clear about this, a person is officially a heretic if he or she is accused of something and persists in the error. No one today, given the situation in the Church, is accusing a bishop of not believing in the Devil, or in demonic possession or of failing to appoint exorcists because he does not believe. And yet I could give you the names of so many bishops and cardinals who, on their appointment to a diocese, stripped exorcists of their faculty to perform the rite. Or there are bishops who openly say they don’t believe, that these are things of the past. Why is that? UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE HAD THE INSIDIOUS INFLUENCE OF CERTAIN BIBLISTS and I could mention some illustrious names. We who are in daily physical contact with the ‘other world’ know that this influence is evident in numerous liturgical reforms. (For example?) The Second Vatican Council asked that some texts be revised. Disobeying this command, they set about re-writing them completely with no thought for the danger of making things worse instead of better. So many rites came off badly from this mania to throw out the old and start from scratch, as if the Church to date had always conned us and as if only now the time had at last come of the great geniuses, the super theologians, the super-biblists and the super-liturgists who know what the right thing is for the Church. This is a lie: the last Council simply asked that the texts be revised, not destroyed.” (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879; http://www.vaticans.org/index.php?/archives/61-An-interview-with-the-Vaticans-chief-excorcist,-Father-Gabriele.html).

John 6:35

Dear friends,

Behold a profound Word of Life for the month of October!

‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hungry, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst’ (Jn 6:35).

(http://www.focolare.org/en/news/2014/09/28/ottobre-2014/)

We are seeing more and more what Our Lady predicted in 1973 at Akita, Japan:

“The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see CARDINALS OPPOSING CARDINALS, bishops against other bishops. … The Church will be full of those who accept compromise …” (http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

We need this “Bread of Life” more than ever!!!

A great number of people have willing slid down the easier path of relativism and thus do not realize the great danger of changing the doctrine of the Church and the catastrophic consequences; Satan understands this very well! It is easier to close ones eyes to reality and to not fight to our last breath to seek the uncomfortable truth tied to the cross of Christ and thus deceiving ourselves that there are no consequences now and after death. If it is allowed to be able to change one doctrine of the Church, in principle, the door is opened to change all the infallible doctrines of the Church and the divine damn of protection (the laws of God - natural and supernatural), crashes. BEHOLD THE DESTRUCTIVE HIDDEN POISON IN THE NAME OF CHARITY (FALSE), misguided compassion, false mercy, false ecumenism! Satan always offers 95% or 99% truth but with 5% or 1% false truth to destroy his victims, otherwise people would realize the deception and consequent destruction. It only takes a drop of poison in a glass of wine! “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14).

Here is the apostasy that Saint Paul warned us about that is now manifesting itself more and more openly:

Before the second coming of Jesus Christ “that day will not come, unless THE REBELLION (APOSTASY) COMES FIRST, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God” (2Thess 2:3-4).

Visit: “The FALSE POPE – Saint Hildegard” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/02/resignation-of-pope-benedict.html).

Thus it is very important to have certain principles well at hand in order to discover the Truth which makes us truly free (Jn 8:32) among the very numerous underhanded deceptions so as to be able to understand which cardinals offer us the Truth from God and not beautiful easy lies. Because the Truth is Jesus (Jn 14:6) Who is God and thus does not change as the world, many people and Satan desire! Read again “Who Decides The Truth?” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html). This article showed Cardinal Ratzinger and Cardinal Caffarra against Cardinal Kasper, and the new (12-30-2013) General Secretary of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Monsignor Nunzio Galantino, who said: “I DO NOT IDENTIFY WITH the expressionless faces of those who recite the Rosary outside the clinics who practice interruption of pregnancy” [“l’interruzione della gravidanza”]. And when the journalist asked the new General Secretary: “What is your wish for the Italian Church,” GALANTINO RESPONDED, “That we can talk without taboo about any subject, of married priests, of giving the Eucharist to divorced persons, homosexuality, starting with the Gospel and giving reasons for their positions.”

NOW, MORE RECENTLY, there is the dismaying appointment (September 2014) of Cardinal Blasé Cupich to the Archdiocese of Chicago who has spoken in the same way as Kasper and Galenatino!

The new book, "Remaining in the Truth of Christ", by Cardinals Muller, Burke, Caffarra, Brandmuller, De Paolis declare inadmissible the proposal to allow Holy Communion to divorced and remarried Catholics. Also Cardinals Scola and Pell express the same teaching of the Church.

But look how the mass media criticizes these 5 cardinals as well as seeking to distract us from the most important and fundamental question, that is, what is right and wrong according to God!?! Instead the mass media seeks to draw our attention to things that are irrelevant, seeking to put doctrinal questions aside or in the same category as political questions, some are from the left, some are from the right, etc., as if Truth is not immutable!

Today the priests who preach the whole gospel and all of the teachings of the magisterium of the church are labeled ridged and old-fashioned, insensitive, lacking in compassion, divisive, judgmental, moralists. While at the same time the ones who maintain a culpable silence, the ones who tell their people what they think they want to hear are seen as understanding, sympathetic, pastorally sensitive and merciful.

Do we believe that God gave us the 10 Commandments and all of Divine Revelation only to torture us or for our true good?!? Do we trust ourselves or do we trust our Creator Who loves each of us immensely?!?

An Experience of Life:

We do not want to remain indifferent to what is happening in the world. When a few years ago there was the earthquake in Pakistan, the thought of so many people in the cold, with no home, continued to pester me. But what could I do being so far away?

Talking with my wife Licia, we came up with the idea of selling bread and send the proceeds to the earthquake victims. We also talked to several friends who were very happy to help us. So for a week, in the evening our house was transformed into a bakery. To those who entered intrigued by this we explained the reason for this sale and many bought bread.

In doing this experience to help others, together we realized that perhaps we ourselves received the greatest help. Many in our country were happy to collaborate in various ways and new friendships were born among us.

P.s.

I would like to offer you some words of Our Lady to Father Stefano Gobbi, in the context of a meditation, in order to help us understand the signs of the times and the deceptions of Satan who is very astute. But first, it would not hurt to read again, “The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/masonic-plan.html), to see how many of these revelations are very similar.

As you know, I am a member of the Marian Movement of Priests. During our International Spiritual Exercises, at Collevalenza – Sanctuary of Merciful Love (Madre Speranza), June 22-28, 2014, Father Quartilio Gabrielli offered to us 200 priests and 10 bishops of the movement these words in a meditation, with the title of the meditation, “The Church Mystery of Christ”:

THE CHURCH MYSTERY OF CHRIST

Dear Father Bishops, Priests brethren, I think it is very timely to meditate on the "Mystery of the Church" in the light of the Messages of the book "To The Priests – Our Lady's Beloved Sons" (POLBS), in these very troubled times for the Church.

The Mystery of the Church of Christ

That the Church is "Mystery" St. Paul states openly in his letter to the Ephesians (3:5). Here, in fact, the "mystery" is indicated as to its content, as the community of Jews and Gentiles in one Church, because in it the Gentiles have become fellow heirs and members of the same body, and partakers of the promises (to the Jews) in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.

From this it follows that the Church belongs essentially to the mystery of Christ; rather it is itself this mystery, in communion with the Lord His Spouse, a real mystery and therefore a reality that comes from God. But "mystery" in Pauline terminology means eternal design of God and its concrete revelation and implementation in the history of salvation, the Church by its character of "mystery of mysteries" that embraces all of creation and has as its aim to "unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth" (Eph 1:10).

The Catechism of the Church (for adults) so defines the Church: "God created the world for the sake of communion with his divine life, a communion brought about through the “convocation” of men in Christ, and this “convocation” is the Church. The Church is the goal of all things, and God permitted such painful upheavals as the angels’ fall and man's sin only as occasions and means for displaying all the power of his arm and the whole measure of the love that he wanted to give to the world.”

“Just as God’s will is creation and is called “the world,” so his intention is the salvation of men, and it is called “the Church”.” Clement of Alexandria) (CCC 760). St. Ambrose in his commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke gives a beautiful definition and explanation "As Eve was formed from Adam's side, so the Church was born from the pierced heart of Christ who died on the Cross"

So we can say with St. Paul that the Church has two functions: a cosmic function and a function of salvation. Cosmic function: God gives Christ "as the Head" of the Church which is his body, “that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Eph 3:10).

The second function which for Paul is dominant, is the function of salvation. The Church, in the first place, is a mystery of salvation. Its vocation is to transform "in the one new man" in the Body of Christ, who alone was sacrificed on the Cross for the reconciliation of all, humanity divided into two hostile groups (Jews and Gentiles) and man divided in himself between flesh and spirit.

So the Church, by its spiritual reality, has its first origin from the eternal plan of God, but in the implementation of that decision, it has its origin in the sacrifice of Christ: this new Eve came out of the side of the new Adam expired on the Cross.

The Church then had its first manifestation before the world on the day of Pentecost, when the Lord, having ascended to the Father, sent the Holy Spirit on the first community, gathered in prayer with the Apostles and Mary, the Mother of Jesus. And from that day Jesus Christ pervades with his hidden action: He is the source and the form of its life. The force then that sustains it, as St. Paul says, it is the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13).

In conclusion: the Church as a mystery, that is the Body of Christ, is an objective reality united to Christ. It is the only new man in which Christ has remade divided humanity, and this one new man is none other than Christ himself, the whole Christ with the Head and the Body (1Cor 12:12), that is the perfect man to which stature we must all raise ourselves (Eph 4:13), in the same way that all through Baptism we put on Christ and we become "one in Christ" (Gal 3:27).

Therefore, Christ and the Church are mystically, but really a person: Christ the Head, the Church his members. From Him, who is the Head, "in whom dwells the fullness of the Godhead” (Col 1:18), the Holy Spirit descends who gives life to all the members, giving rise to ministries and spiritual charisms. Towards Him" grows” the entire Body in order to complete itself in Him, "the perfect Man" to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ "(Eph 4:13-15).

What is the Church

The Church is not "a thing", you can make your own, dominate and lead it according to human planned designs: the Church is Someone. "The Church who mystically lives among you” (POLBS: 28 January 1977).

The Church is united to Christ in such an intimate relationship so as to form with Him only one thing: we can say that she is the prolongation over the centuries the Incarnation, the continued implementation in time Jesus’ life redeeming and renewing the world.

"Jesus, in the Gospel, gave to himself His most complete definition, claiming to be the Truth, the Way and the Life. (...) Like Jesus, also the Church founded by Him, which forms his Mystical Body , is Truth, Life and Way."

Our Lady explains this His statement:

"Jesus is the Truth because He reveals the Father, He tells us His definitive Word, He brings all of all divine revelation to Its perfect completion. (...) Jesus is the Truth, because it is He - the Living Word - source and seal of all divine revelation. (...) the Church is the Truth, because to she alone Jesus has entrusted to guard, in its integrity the whole deposit of Faith. He has entrusted it to the Church hierarchy, that is, the Pope and the Bishops united with him. (....)

Then the Ecclesiastical Masonry acts to obscure His divine word, by means of natural and rational interpretations and, in an attempt to make it more comprehensive and well received, empty it of all its supernatural content. In this way errors are spread in every part of the Catholic Church. Due to the diffusion of these errors, today many drift away from the true faith, effectuating to the prophecy that was made by me at Fatima: "The times will come when many will loose the true faith - the loss of faith is apostasy." The ecclesiastical Masonry acts, in a subtle and diabolical way, to lead everyone to apostasy.

Jesus is the Life, because He gives us the same divine life, with the Grace merited by Him with the Redemption, and institutes the Sacraments as efficacious means of communicating Grace (...)

The Church is life, because she imparts Grace and she alone possesses efficacious means of Grace, which are the seven Sacraments. She is life especially because she alone has been given power to generate the Eucharist, by means of the ministerial priesthood and hierarchy. (...) And so the ecclesiastical masonry, in many subtle ways tries to attack seeks to attack the Church's devotion to the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Regarding the Eucharist the ecclesiastical masonry valorizes only the aspect of Meal, it tends to minimize its sacrificial value, it tries to deny the real and personal presence of Jesus in the consecrated hosts. For this reason all external signs are gradually suppressed, which are indicative of the faith in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, such as genuflections, the hours of public worship ...

The task of ecclesiastical Masonry is to justify sin, to present no longer as an evil but as a value and a good. So it is advised to perform sin, as a way to satisfy the needs of ones nature, destroying the root from which can arise repentance ... The pernicious result of this cursed cancer, which has spread throughout the whole Church, is the disappearance of individual confession everywhere. The souls are led to live in sin, rejecting the gift of Life, that Jesus has offered to us.

Jesus is the Way, which leads to the Father by way of the Gospel. The ecclesiastical Masonry favors exegesis, which give it the rationalistic and naturalistic interpretations, through the application of various literary genres, so it is torn apart in each of its parts. Eventually you come to deny the historical reality of miracles and of his resurrection and one questions the Divinity itself of Jesus and his saving mission. After having destroyed the historical Christ, the beast with two horns similar to a lamb, seeks to destroy the mystical Christ which is the Church. (...)

The Church is the Way, because she leads to the Father by way of the Son, in the Holy Spirit, on the path of perfect unity. (...).

The ecclesiastical Masonry seeks to destroy this reality with false ecumenism, which leads to the acceptance of all the Christian Churches, stating that each of them possesses a part of the Truth. It cultivates the design of founding a universal ecumenical Church, formed from the merger of all Christian denominations, among which the Catholic Church. (...)

As the Father and the Son are one, so you should be one among yourselves. Jesus wanted that His Church to be a sign and instrument of the unity of the whole human race. The Church is able to be united, because it was founded on the cornerstone of its unity: Peter and the Pope who succeeds to the charism of Peter. (...) The Church instituted by Christ is one only: the one Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, One, founded on Peter. "(13 June 1989)

Thus the four properties: Unity, Sanctity, Catholicity, and Apostolicity, are not only the essential characteristics of the nature of the Church, but as far as being externally visible and easily recognizable, they are also distinguishing marks of the true Church of Christ.

The true Church of Christ is the Divine authority constituted and recognized by the four notes that in the "Apostles’ Creed" we say we believe. Among the Christian churches only the Roman Catholic Church has these four notes; is therefore the only true Church founded by Christ.

Current Crisis In The Church

"This Masonic infiltration, in the inside of the Church, was already predicted by Me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would introduced himself at the highest level of the Church." (13 June 1989).

"I announced to you the great combat between Me, the Woman clothed with the sun, and the enormous red Dragon, which has led humanity to live without God. I also foretold to you the devious and dark work, done by Freemasonry, to draw you away from the observance of the law of God and thus make you victims of sins and vices. Above all, as Mom, I wanted to warn you of the great danger that threatens the Church today, due to the numerous and diabolical attacks that are being made against Her to destroy her.

To achieve this goal, the black beast that rises from the sea there comes to help from the earth a beast which has two horns like a lamb. (....) The beast with two horns like a lamb indicates the Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is, the ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. (...) If it is the task of Masonry to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false gods, the purpose of ecclesiastical Masonry is rather to destroy Christ and his Church, building a new idol, namely a false Christ and a false church."

The most affected by this crisis have been the Priests, many of whom have let themselves be seduced by error; and the error led them insensibly to infidelity.

"My poor children, how much pain they give to Me! Priests of my Son and by now no longer believe in my Son and continually betray Him. Priests called to be ministers of Grace, and who now habitually live in sin: their lives are an unbroken chain of sacrileges. Priests sent to proclaim the Gospel of salvation and that now they have become propagators of error.

Priests to save many souls and how many, how many souls they lead on the road to perdition! This is the hour in which the abomination of desolation has truly entered the holy temple of God." (July 9, 1975)

"In the name of progress some Priests have become only ministers of the world and live according to the world. For prayer they have substituted disorderly action; for mortification the continual seeking of comforts and pleasures; for holiness the progressive sinking into sin, especially sins of impurity, which are increasingly committed and justified. They have become walking corpses, whitewashed tombs that still call themselves Priests, but my son Jesus no longer recognizes them as such.

And sometimes these are the ones most esteemed, those who manage to be promoted, those who are put in positions of responsibility. Those who still remain faithful, are typically the most persecuted, the most overlooked and are sometimes deliberately marginalized." (10 March 1977)

"Now Satan has pitched his tent even among the ministers of the Sanctuary and caused to enter the abomination of desolation in the holy temple." (November 20, 1976)

"These are the times of the great battle between Me and the powerful army at the orders of the red Dragon and of the black beast. Marxist atheism and Masonry lead this gathered army in order to lead all humanity to the denial and to rebellion against God. At the head of this army is the same Lucifer, who repeats today his challenge to place himself against God in order to be worshiped as God." (October 13, 1985)

Marxist atheism has not only led many faithful to the death of faith, but, even many priests have subscribed to it, subverting the truth of the Gospel, denying the divinity of Christ and therefore the divine origin of the Church.

"(The Church) will be abandoned especially by many of her ministers and by many of her children. She will be mocked, betrayed, given into the hands of her enemy and who wants to destroy her. There will be some of her own ministers to deliver her into the hands of the executioners." (November 25, 1975)

The Four Sure Signs of Crisis in the Church

A) Confusion

"(...) the first sign of crisis is the confusion that reigns ... the confusion has spread within the Church, where everything is subverted in the dogmatic, liturgical and disciplinary fields." (January 28, 1979)

There are revealed truths which the Church has defined with her infallible authority: immutable truths and many of them are part of the true and actual mysteries. Today there is put into question: communion to remarried, priestly celibacy: the Church is plagued by the tyranny of relativism. Our Lady says:

"Man must receive these truths with humility through an act of pure faith and firm trust in God who has revealed them and proposes them to men of all ages through the Magisterium of the Church." (January 28, 1979)

Today one wants to understand everything, even the mystery of revealed truth, to receive only the part that is understandable and reject that which is not rationally understandable, to adapt the Gospel to our times and whims, in order to render it, says Our Lady "deceptively acceptable to all".

"In this way one corrupts the Truth with error. Error is spread in the most dangerous way, that is, as a new hub and updated to understand the Truth; and you end up subverting the same truths, which are the foundation of the Catholic faith. These truths are not openly denied, but they are received in an equivocal way, joining to the doctrine the most serious compromise with error never before done." (January 28, 1979)

B) Indiscipline

The second sign of the current crisis in the Church is indiscipline, spread on all levels, but especially in the Church.

"Indiscipline, lack of inner docility to God's will, which manifests itself in breach of the obligations proper to ones state in life; the obligation of prayer, of good example, of a holy and apostolic life. How many there are, among the priests, those that… and no longer pray! They habitually neglect the liturgy of the Hours, the meditation, the recitation of the Holy Rosary. They confine prayer to a hasty celebration of the Holy Mass. In this way these my poor children are interiorly emptied and no longer have light and strength to resist the many pitfalls in the midst of where they live." (February 2, 1979)

They become "contaminated" by the spirit of the world, they share its way of life, its values and its mentality: they end up living as ministers of the world, according to its spirit, thus causing anxiety among the faithful. Hence the widespread rebellion against the laws of the Church which govern the life of priests and increases the protest to the obligation of celibacy desired by Jesus through His Church. Indiscipline then extends to the rules of the Church regarding liturgical and ecclesiastical life.

"Today, everyone tends to govern themselves according to their own taste or arbitrary whim and with what scandalous facility they violate the rules of the Church, yet repeatedly reaffirmed by the Holy Father, as the requirement for priests to wear the clerical garb.

Unfortunately - continues Our Lady - sometimes the first ones who continue to disobey this requirement are precisely the pastors and it is from their bad example that indiscipline is rampant in every sector of the Church. "(February 2, 1979).

C) Division

The third sign of crisis is the division in the Church. Throughout history, the Church has often been "torn apart” by schisms that led many believers to separate from her. But Our Lady has always obtained from Jesus the Grace to preserve the unique prerogative of her interior unity.

"But in these times my Adversary, with his smoke, has even managed to obscure the light of this her prerogative.

The inner division occurs among the faithful themselves who put themselves often against each other in an attempt to defend and proclaim the truth better. And so the truth is these betrayed because the Gospel of My Son can not be divided. This inner division sometimes leads also the priests to put themselves against priests, Bishops against Bishops, Cardinals against Cardinals, as never before as in these times Satan has managed to break into the midst of them, ripping apart precious bond of their mutual and reciprocal love."(February 11, 1979)

D) The Persecution

The Church is persecuted by the world in which she lives and works.

"They are the true enemies of God, those who have consciously made put themselves against God, to lead all of humanity to live without Him, who more and more persecute the Church. Sometimes She is persecuted in an open and violent manner ... But in these times, the Church is often put under a much greater trial; she is persecuted in a subtle and painless way, slowly taking away the oxygen she needs to live. Then they try to lead her into compromise with the spirit of the world, which in this way enters into her interior and thus conditions and paralyzes the vitality.

The collaboration has mutated often in a more subtle form of persecution; the ostentatious show of respect towards Her has become the surest way to strike Her. They have come to discover the new technique to make her die without clamor and without shedding blood.

The Church is persecuted even in her interior, especially on the part of those children who have come to compromise with her Adversary. The adversary has managed to seduce even some of her own pastors. Even among them there are those who knowingly cooperate in this design of interior and hidden persecution of my Church." (March 3, 1979)

However, this trial of inner persecution of the Church will serve for her complete renewal: from the trial the Church will come out more purer and more humble, more enlightened, stronger.

Severity of the crisis in the Church

The Heavenly Mother for some time, has denounced insistently and in many ways the gravity of the situation: the Church of Jesus throughout plagued by the wicked contagion of infidelity and apostasy. Outwardly all is tranquil, in the Church it seems that everything is in place and that all is well; but in reality it is pervaded by a wider and wider lack of faith, which extends everywhere creating a great and terrible apostasy. This great crisis currently in the Church Our Lady has announced openly since 1975:

"At Fatima I indicated that my Immaculate Heart, as a means of salvation for all humanity. I traced the way back to God. I was not listened to. Now I want to offer you My Immaculate Heart as your only refuge in the very painful moments that await you ... The crisis going on now in my Church, will deepen until open rebellion especially on the part of many of my children who participate in the Priesthood of My Son Jesus. Darkness, which already greatly thickens, will become deep night upon the world." (November 9, 1975).

"You see, children, how much is happening in the Church? Errors increasingly spread, and have also taken hold of the good: the increasing rampant infidelity among the ministers of God and among the souls consecrated to him, the same Hierarchy is cracked in the bonds of charity and in its unity. Above all the Vicar of My Son Jesus is left more and more alone. They slander him, even in forms so vulgar and blasphemous; they criticize him, he is contested, and he is increasingly left alone by my children." (April 3, 1976),

Here Our Lady, as we can all clearly understand, is already referring to what would later happen with the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI: "Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves" (April 24, 2005).

This prophecy made by Our Lady in 1975 about the deterioration of the current crisis in the Church, has already been to a great extent largely fulfilled in our time, in which by we see firsthand the effects of this crisis, by way of the dark plots of the Freemasonry, of the red dragon, and above all of ecclesiastical Masonry. The three beasts have colluded to destroy Jesus and His Church.

I have already said before about the last meeting with Don Stefano, June 12th 2011, the day of Pentecost: he said to us: take the book, get the message "Be Joyful" (October 19, 1975).

"You dear children have been called to live these events. It is the moment in which you must know this, in order to prepare yourselves consciously for the battle. E 'now begins to reveal that part of my plan.

Above all it is necessary that my enemy has the impression of having conquered all, to have by now everything in his hands. Because of this he will be allowed to enter into the interior of My Church and he will succeed in distorting the Sanctuary of God. He will reap the most numerous victims among the ministers of the sanctuary. This is indeed the moment of the great falls for my Beloved children, for my priests. "(October 18, 1975).

"The huge Red Dragon has the devilish task of draw away all of mankind from the dominion of God, from the glory of the Most Holy Trinity, from the full implementation of the plan of the Father ..." (May 14, 1989).

"If the Red Dragon works to bring humanity to do without God, to the denial of God, and therefore he spreads the error of atheism: The purpose of Freemasonry is not to deny God, but to blaspheme Him ... the job of the Masonic Lodges is to operate today, with great astuteness, to bring everywhere humanity to disdain the holy law of God, to operate in open opposition to the Ten Commandments, to take away the worship owed to God alone, to give the cult to false idols ... reason, the flesh, money, discord, domination, violence, pleasure." (June 3, 1989)

"If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false gods, the purpose of Ecclesiastical Masonry is rather to destroy Christ and his Church are building constructing a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church." (June 13, 1989).

The Blessed Mother speaks of the spread of errors that obscure the Church more and more and they are about to lead to an open schism.

"The cause of a such a great diffusion of errors and of this great apostasy are the unfaithful Pastors. They are silent when they should speak boldly, to condemn the error and to defend the Truth. The do not intervene when they must expose the rapacious wolves, who have entered into the flock of Christ hidden under the guise of sheep’s clothing. They are dumb dogs that allow their flocks to be torn apart." (September 8, 1985).

Regarding the many errors spread today, one of the causes is what Our Lady calls "false messianism" and that in the Catechism of the Catholic Church is described as one of the last great trials that the Church will go through before the glorious return of Christ.

"Their only concern is exclusively directed toward social problems, and they forget that Jesus died on the Cross and rose again to bring us the great gift of Redemption and to save souls. In this way the teaching of liberation theology becomes more widespread which is a true betrayal of Christ and of the Gospel." (February 25, 1988)

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church to the number 675 we find: "Before Christ’s the second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers (Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12). The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth (Lk 21:12; Jn 15:19-20) will unveil the “mystery of iniquity”, in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of Apostasy from the Truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh” (cf. 2Thess 2:4-12; 1Thess 5:2-3; 2Jn 7; 1Gv 2:18,22).

This great trial for the Church Our Lady confirms to us in the message of January l, 1993:

"The big test has arrived for the Church, so desecrated by evil spirits, so divided in her unity and obscured in her holiness. See how in her error spreads which leads to the loss of the true faith. The apostasy spreads everywhere.

“A special gift of my Immaculate Heart for these your times this is the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which My Pope wanted to promulgate, almost his brightest and supreme testament. But how many are the Pastors who are groping in the dark; muted by fear or by compromise, and they no longer defend their flock from the rapacious wolves!

Many priestly and consecrated lives are dried up due to impurity, seduced by pleasures and by the pursuit of comfort and well-being. The faithful are attracted by the snares of the world which has become pagan, or by the many sects that spread more and more.

Above all for the Church the hour of her great trial has arrived, because she will be shaken by the lack of faith, obscured by apostasy, wounded by betrayals, abandoned by her sons, divided by schisms, possessed and dominated by the Freemasonry, rendered fertile ground from which will spring forth the bad tree of the wicked man, the Antichrist, which will bring forth his kingdom in the interior of the Church." (Jan. 1, 1993)

Dear Brother Priests: already there is cast the shadow of the Antichrist.

"In this period of history, Freemasonry, assisted by the ecclesiastical Freemasonry, will succeed in its great aim: to construct an idol to be put in the place of Christ and of his Church. A false christ and a false church.

Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will sign with its mark all those who will want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist ... Almost all will follow the false christ and the false church . Then it will be opened the door to the appearance of man or of the person of the Antichrist!" (June 17, 1989).

I would like to conclude with two messages which more than all the others reveal that which is happening in the Church today.

The first I think it is very useful for us to understand it and live it, also because, as you may know. was the last message that Don Stefano wanted to comment on with three of us, before he died. It was the day of Pentecost in 2011: while he was were chatting he told us: "Take the blue book, October 18, 1975: "Be Joyful"; in this message you will find the answers to everything."

"My adversary will believe one day to sing complete victory: over the world, over the Church, over souls. It will only be then that I will intervene - terrible and victorious – so that his defeat might be all the greater, the more secure was his certainty to have won forever.

What is being prepared is so great, that it has never been since the creation of the world; for this all has already been foretold in the Bible...

You, my children are called to live these events ... it is time that I may begin to reveal part of my plan. First, it is necessary that My enemy has the impression of having conquered all, to have by now everything in his hands. For this he will be allowed to enter into the interior of my Church and he will succeed to distort the Sanctuary of God. He will reap the most numerous victims among the ministers of the Sanctuary. (...) "(October 18, 1975).

In my work in the parishes as well as in various ecclesial movements, I recently wrote a couple of articles to encourage people to not slide into the hidden pride of clericalism, both of clergymen and lay people, as well as the great importance in these difficult and confusing time to spend as much time as possible before Jesus in the Tabernacle with the help of Mary.
