The Validity of the Holy Mass

The Validity of the Holy Mass

This article is only a few pages of the second part of the article, “Only a Remnant of the MMP Will Remain” (http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/08/only-remnant-of-mmp-will-remain.html), with the title: “The Danger of Don Alessandro Minutella” (https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-danger-of-don-alessandro-minutella.html).

This article was a reply to a couple of emails from a woman “very torn” here in Italy who is part of the Marian Movement for Priests (MMP). The Subject of her email is: “The silence of the Marian Movement of Priests”. Since the MMP is so important to Our Lady, I spent some time in gathering information which regards the problems and the division in the MMP after the death of Don Stefano Gobbi. This woman, Assunta, who had the courage to open her eyes in this period of great confusion, was tempted to follow Don Minutella.

Don Alessandro Maria Minutella (Palermo, Italy, 1973) was a priest of the diocese of Palermo and pastor of the Parish of Pope Saint Gregory at Boccadifalco (Pa). He received his doctorate in dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Sicily with a theses on the relationship between the theology of purgatory and the mystical dark night in the writings of Saint Catherine of Genova. At the Pontifical Gregorian University he continued to complete a doctorate in the history of Christian dogma, with a theses on the Christological-Trinitarian eschatology of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Don Minutella became the head of a traditionalist Catholic group of Palermo, “The Little Nazareth”, which does not recognize the election of Pope Francis. He was notified with a decree of excommunication for “the heresy and crime of schism” on November 13, 2018.

The following is only a part of the original article which speaks about the validity of the Holy Mass:

Satan is pushing many people off the Barque of Peter, the Church, on the “port side” (left side), who do not follow the laws of God infallibly interpreted by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, including not obeying the Liturgical Books of how to celebrate the Holy Mass licitly and validly. But also on the “starboard side” (the right side) of the Barque of Church, Satan pushes many out of the Church, with the hidden attitude of pride to put oneself or ones group above the authentic Magisterium of the Church. These groups have arisen throughout the history of the Church, beginning with the Donatists, but more than ever after the Second Vatican Council, with groups who proclaim that the Novus Ordo Mass is invalid. More recently there are groups who acknowledge and adhere to the Second Vatican Council but have come to realize that the last conclave was not valid (“Pope Benedict XVI Forced To Resign”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/01/pope-benedict-xvi-force-to-resign.html), and thus believe and proclaim to others that if a priest says during the Canon of the Mass the words “Pope Francis”, the Mass is invalid!

This is the moment to remain with Jesus on the cross in this period of in the history of the Church and in this mysterious design of God of the purification of the Body of Christ, the Church (cf. CCC 675-677). It is the moment when true Christians have true humility with Mary at the foot of the cross and do not abandon the crucified Body of Christ by joining a “holy” or “perfect” group better than all the rest.

The following is a brief sketch of the theology of the Church regarding the validity of the Mass.

A Mass of the Roman Rite is invalid: 1) WHEN the celebrant of the Mass is not a validly ordained priest, 2) WHEN the priest does not have the proper intention (that is, the priest has the intention to do what the Church would do), 3) WHEN wheat bread or grape wine is not used, 4) or WHEN the words “This is my Body” or “This is … my Blood” are not SAID (not silently) by the Priest during the consecration of the Mass. (“Soon No More Eucharist!”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/03/soon-no-more-eucharist.html).

THAT WHICH DON MINUTELLA AND OTHERS ARE TRYING TO INSINUATE recently is that if “Pope Francis” does not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, as did many Arian bishops more than 1600 years ago, all the Masses celebrated by priests who say the phrase in the “Eucharistic Prayer”: “Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope (“una cum” – in union with “Pope Francis”) and N. our Bishop and all the clergy” is not valid! It is true that if a priest (or a bishop) “manifests” his intentions openly to not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, then his mass is not valid because “the priest does not have the proper intention”. Regarding “2) WHEN the priest does not have the proper intention (that is, the priest has the intention to do what the Church would do), IF A PRIEST IS TOTALLY DISTRACTED OR EVEN IN MORTAL SIN, THE MASS IS VALID AND THERE IS THE EUCHARIST, even though the priest in mortal sin commits another mortal sin (sacrilege!) because he celebrated in the state of mortal sin. The Mass depends on God, expressed in the phrase in Latin, “Ex opera operato”, otherwise, the Church (and the Mass) would have ended centuries ago, because Jesus founded his Church on twelve sinful apostles, not twelve perfect angels from heaven. The fact that the Church is still here on the earth after more than 2000 years, is a great proof that the Church, the Body of Christ, is not only human but also divine, as Jesus has two natures: human and divine!

Up until a about year ago, Don Minutella limited himself to explaining clearly how “Pope Francis” has promoted many heretical and destructive things. But now he is saying to people that all the Masses are invalid when the priest who during the Mass names in the Canon the name “Pope Francis”!

“EX OPERE OPERATO” is a Latin expression of the Catholic doctrine about the sacraments.

It literally means “by the fact itself of having done it”. It refers to the fact that in the sacraments the sin of the minister cannot invalidate the result of the sacramental action. For example, sacramental absolution given by a priest in mortal sin maintains all of its validity, since the minister has the intention to do what the Church would do.

The use of the expression was developed in the Catholic Church on the occasion of the opposition with the protestant doctrine: Martin Luther held the idea in fact that a priest in mortal sin could not administer the sacraments.

There is contrasted with “ex opera operantis”, which to the contrary affirms the necessity of the holiness of the minister for the sacrament to be valid.

In a similar way, the same Council of Trent, defined the infallibility of the pope, which does not depend on the personal holiness of the pope, but on the promise of Christ.

THE TEACHING OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT:

The Council of Trent defined on March 3 1547 against Luther that the sacraments confer grace “ex opera operato” (can. 8), and thus depend on God (can. 7):

“If anyone shall say, that by the said sacraments of the New Law grace is not conferred through the act performed (ex opera operato) but that faith alone in the divine promise suffices for obtaining grace; let him be anathema.” (Sess. VII, ca. 8; Denz 1611).

The phrase “ex opere operato”, as one can deduce from the discussions of the fathers of Trent, does not mean “automatically”, almost as if the sacraments might be magic rites, that act on a person independent of the person’s will, but rather means “independently from the intentions NOT MANIFESTED by the minister”, to which is asked to put exactly the sign “at least with the intention to do what the Church does” (can. 11), that is at least with the intention to carry out the sacred rite.

The purpose of this clarification, wanted by the council, was to take away from the faithful any doubt of conscience on the validity of a sacrament in the case of a minister who “fakes it” in administering the sacrament, but with the intention, non manifested, to not administer it. The Council says: if the minister has carried out correctly the rite (ex opera operato), God has worked and thus “ex parte Dei (= “for that which depends on God”) the sacrament is complete.

For the efficaciousness of the sacrament there can be lacking on the part that depends on the Christian, but regarding the possible bad dispositions that could render the sacrament non efficacious, he cannot not be conscious of, because the bad dispositions must be “manifested” by the minister of the sacrament.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC; ed. 1992, promulgated by Pope John Paul II; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM) explains “ex opere operato”: CCC 1127-1128.

This above all does not mean that every priest who during the Mass names in the Canon the name “Pope Francis” believes as “Pope Francis” believes, that is, this does not mean that all the priests who had an Arian bishop more than 1600 years ago believed AS DID THEIR ARIAN BISHOPS!

Now to put in a difficult situation the simple faithful, TO DEPRIVE TODAY, in a very perverse world, the faithful of the traditional Mass because it is celebrated naming in the Canon the name of “Pope Francis” IS A GREAT IMPRUDENCE AND ERROR, which exposes the conscientious faithful to the proximate risk of not being able to live in the state of habitual grace, depriving them of all the Sacraments administered “una cum”. Holy Mother Church, in the Council of Trent, did the exact opposite, that is, to dispel from the faithful every doubt of conscience on the validity of a sacrament in the case of a minister who “fakes it” in administering the sacrament, but with the intention, non manifested, to not administer it. If there was not this “SILENCE OF THE MARIAN MOVEMENT OF PRIESTS”, there would be much less temptation for the members of the MMP to be deceived by Don Minutella or by other groups or by schismatic traditionalist groups, as Professor Don Ivan Pojavnik wrote: “In addition, by virtue of its ambiguity, the circular letter has led a number of members away from the Movement of Our Lady to another movement. … Don Stefano said, "We must be intelligent children, that is, children with open eyes, and not stupid children, that is, with eyes closed”." The devil wants those few people who have not followed the easy way of “ignorance is bliss” and have struggled to keep their eyes open to the hidden and dangerous pitfalls of the devil, and thus Satan offers subtle temptations that can deprive these people in the state of grace the sacraments or to at least to lead them outside of the true Church which is undergoing the crucifixion with Jesus in the period!

As written above, let us repeat for clarity in this case.

The key phrases which confect the Eucharist are "THIS IS MY BODY" and "THIS IS ... MY BLOOD," which when SAID (not silently) by a priest with the proper intention and matter, truly show the priest acts in the Person of Christ. The other parts of the Eucharistic prayer are, according to St. Ambrose (also quoted in Summa Theologica), ESSENTIALLY PREPARATORY; "by all the other words spoken, praise is rendered to God, prayer is put up for the people, for kings, for others, but when the time comes for perfecting the Sacrament, the priest no longer uses his own words but the words of Christ." St. Thomas Aquinas explains this requirement in great detail in the Summa Theologica (Third Part, Question 78, Articles 1 through 6). Changing the words of the preparatory parts of the Eucharistic prayer is illicit and gravely sinful for the priest, but would not invalidate the Eucharist as long as "This is My Body" and "This is ... My Blood" are SAID (not silently).

This means that if the priest says (not silently) during the Mass, "This is My Body" and "This is ... My Blood," with the proper matter (bread and wine) and intention (what the Church intends to do), the Mass is valid. Thus as St. Ambrose and St. Augustine and St. Thomas tell us, all the other words outside of the words of the consecration, "This is My Body" and "This is ... My Blood," are “ESSENTIALLY PREPARATORY” and thus do not change the validity of the Mass, even if a priest says the words, as he has said since the time of his ordination to the priesthood, in the “Eucharistic Prayer”: “Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with N. (name of present pope) our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy”! This phrase does not at all alter the validity of the Mass as the Church has always taught since the time of St. Augustine!

Thus, totally contrary to what Don Alessandro Minutella says to his followers and to his YouTube viewers, ALL the MASSES celebrated by priests who say the phrase in the “Eucharistic Prayer”: “Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with N. (name of present pope, “Francis”) our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy” are VALID!

To repeat this concept a little more clearly and simply, Jesus is the primary minister of the sacraments, and thus the individual who is administering the sacrament does not have to be in the state of grace to confect the sacrament validly. As an example, a non baptized person and not in the state of grace can baptize validly. But this also holds with regard even to the priesthood and going to Mass. So if you go to Mass and the priest is in the state of mortal sin, the Mass is valid. The Donatists in the time of St. Augustine held that the priest had to be in the state of sanctifying grace in order for the sacrament to be valid. Saint Augustine said no to the Donatists, because it is Jesus Himself who is the primary minister of the Mass, not the priest. And thus even if the priest is in the state of mortal sin, the Mass would still be valid provided that he had the right intention, the right words and the right matter of bread and wine.

Charismatic gifts are given for the sake of someone else. These gifts have nothing to do with the holiness of the individual who has the gift, even though in our humanness we tend to get caught up in that if someone is speaking in tongues or if someone has the gift of healing or whatever, and we think that they must really be holy. This is not necessarily true at all! It is just the person to whom God chose to give that gift. The priesthood is a charismatic gift and thus this gift is given not because of the holiness of the individual, but rather it is given for the sake of other people. Thus if God can use any of the charismatic gifts, even if the person is in the state of mortal sin, and the priesthood is a charismatic gift, that too can be exercised even if the priest is in the state of mortal sin.

What the Donatists said is that both orthodoxy as well as being in the state of grace are necessary for the validity of the sacraments. It was St. Augustine who was the opponent of the Donatists in this case, and he said that since Christ is the primary minister of the sacraments, their objective efficacy and validity do not depend on the subjective state of the minister. What is necessary is that the individual who is performing the sacramental rite confers the sacramental sign through the proper matter and form while having the proper intention. Having said that, the person who is actually performing the sacrament is bound by conscious to administer the sacrament in the state of grace. So the sacrament is still valid even if the minister is in the state of mortal sin, but he is bound by conscience to be in the state of grace when he is saying Mass or hearing confessions or whatever the case may be. To do otherwise would be a sacrilege. So if a priest is in the state of mortal sin when he says Mass, he commits a sacrilege. At the same time however, we need to be clear, that the Church actually says that if the priest, let’s say that a priest goes out on Saturday night and does something really idiotic and now is in the state of mortal sin, what is he supposed to do on Sunday morning? The Church says you say Mass for the people. The priest could come out and say that I’m in the state of mortal sin and so I cannot say Mass. That will not fly too well. The people are there; they have a right to have Mass and the Church says at that point, for the good of the people, the greater good is the good of the people, even though it is a sacrilege on the part of the priest. For the sake of the people of God it is a necessity to have their confessions heard or as the case may be.

Another reason for removing the sacraments from the subjective state of the minister is to provide certainty and peace of mind for the faithful. Think about this for a second. What would happen if every Sunday you came to church and you had to wonder if the priest was in the state of grace or not. Another words, if as the Donatists said that the sacraments are valid only if the priest is in the state of grace, and if he is not, then it is an invalid sacrament, and you did not receive Communion, you did not receive Jesus, according to the Donatists. So what the Church says, you should not have to wonder about whether or not the priest is in the state of grace or in the state of mortal sin, when you come to Mass. The Church tells us that it is the Lord who is going to do this; yes He is going to work through the human person, it is the Lord who is doing it. And therefore we do not have to worry about the subjective state of the priest. The priest has to worry about his own subjective state just as each one of us need to worry about our own subjective state. But it is not our concern whether the priest is in the state of mortal sin or not when it comes to the validity of the sacraments.

Yes, I do believe we will soon lose the Eucharist in all the public churches of the world with a new Roman Missal for the whole world in which the consecration of the Mass will be deleted or there will no longer be the words, "THIS IS MY BODY" and "THIS IS ... MY BLOOD," SAID (not silently). This will happen “before the manifestation of the Antichrist, “the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away, and the “sacrifice and offering” will cease (Dan 9:27), which Jesus foretold (Mt 24:15). This sacrilege is the ultimate “ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION” (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)!” (“The Abomination of Desolation”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html). I personally believe that this will happen around Easter 2021 and will last for three and a half years until the end of the period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) (“Signs of God vs. Signs of Satan”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html). “And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days” (Dan 12:11-12; 7:25; 9:27). PERHAPS “comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days”, which is 45 days after the end of the “abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”, will correspond to the feast day of Christ the King, November 24, 2024, which PERHAPS will be the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the universe!?!

After many years, NEW MESSAGE from AKITA

After many years, a NEW MESSAGE from AKITA

After so many years, Sr. Agnes Sasagawa (born 1930) of Akita; Japan, has received a NEW MESSAGE from her guardian angel on October 6, 2019. After the angel gave a private message to Sr. Agnes, the angel gave her a message for everyone:

“Put on ashes and pray a repentant Rosary every day. You (Sr. Agnes) must become like a child and make sacrifices every day.”

https://mysticpost.com/2019/11/news-after-so-many-years-sr-sasagawa-of-akita-approved-vision-of-our-lady-of-akita-has-received-a-new-message-from-her-gaurdian-angel-on-october-6-2019-warns-we-must-put-on-ashes-refe/

On October 13, 1973, the Blessed Virgin, on the anniversary of the last apparition and of the miracle of Fatima, at Akita, Japan, gave her final message and said to Sister Agnes Sasagawa: “As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms that will remain for you will be the Rosary and Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. WITH THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR THE POPE, THE BISHOPS, AND THE PRIESTS. 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 priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their conferees, churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromise and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them.” (http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

Saint Michael the Archangel at Garabandal, sent by Our Lady, (Spain, 1965) said: “Many Cardinal, many Bishops and many Priests are on the road to perdition and with them they are bringing many souls”! Three years later there was the great rebellion against “Humanae Vitae” which maintained the perennial teaching of the Church that to use contraceptives is a mortal sin!

In a similar message, Sister Lucy of Fatima said to Father Agostino Fuentes, the postulator of the cause of beatification of Giacinta e Francesco (December 26, 1957): “Our Lady is very displeased because it is not taken into account her message of 1917. Neither the good nor the bad have held them in consideration. Believe me my Father, the Lord will punish the world very soon; the punishment is imminent! Many nations will disappear from the face of the earth, many nations will be annihilated. … The devil knows that the religious and the priests, not living up to their beautiful vocation, drag many souls to hell. … We have at our disposition TWO EFFICACIOUS MEANS: Prayer and Sacrifice. … The third time she said that, the other means exhausted and despised by men, He will give with trembling the last anchor of salvation which is the Most Holy Virgin in person, signs of tears, messages of seers spread in all the parts of the earth. Our Lady said that if we do not listen and if we still offend we will not be pardoned. Father, it is urgent that we realize this terrible reality. WE DO NOT WANT TO FILL THE SOULS WITH FEAR, BUT ONLY IT IS URGENT A RECALL TO REALITY. From when the Holy Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, THERE DOES NOT EXIST ANY MATERIAL, SPIRITUAL, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL PROBLEM that cannot be resolved with THE HOLY ROSARY AND WITH OUR SACRIFICES. To recite it with devotion will be to consol Mary and to wipe away so many tears from her Immaculate Heart. … Our Lady expressly said: “We are approaching the end times”.”

Pope “Joseph” will be killed – Pope Saint Pius X

Pope St. Pius X (1903-14) had two visions that were similar to the Fatima Vision of Sister Lucy.

In 1909, in the midst of an audience with members of the Franciscan order, he seemed to fall into a trance. Moments passed, then his eyes sprung open and he jumped to his feet. "What I have seen is terrifying!” he cried out. “Will I be the one, or will it be a successor? I saw the Pope flee from the Vatican passing over the dead bodies of his priests.” Later, on his death bed, but still clear-headed, another vision came to him and he spoke: "I have seen one of my successors, of the SAME NAME, who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place; but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death. Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts. They wish to efface even God's memory. This perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the last days of the world."

The name being referred to is not the papal name – Pius or Benedict – but rather the baptismal name. The baptismal name of Pope St. Pius X is Giuseppe (Joseph in English) Melchiorre Sarto; the baptismal name of Pope Benedict XVI is Joseph Ratzinger.

(“Saint Peter returns the keys to Jesus”; http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/09/saint-peter-returns-keys-to-jesus.html)

The third apparition of Our Lady at the Cova da Iria-Fatima, on 13 July 1917:

Sister Lucy of Fatima wrote:

“I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.” (Tuy, Spain; 01-03-1944).

“ILLUMINATION OF THE CONSCIENCES”

Several seers tell us that there will be a Great Warning. God will give to men warnings and prodigious signs to shake them from their spiritual torpor; the “illumination of the consciences”

(http://profezie3m.altervista.org/ptm_c2-3.htm)

TESTIMONY OF CONCHITA (Garabandal; September 14, 1965):

“The Warning is something that comes directly from God. It will be visible in the whole world, in every place in which one finds himself. It will be an interior revelation to each of us about our sins. The believers as well as the non believers and the people of every religion, will see it and will feel it”.

(http://www.abbapadre.it/lavvertimento-2/)

“With his divine love, He will open the doors of hearts and illuminate all consciences. Every person will see himself in the burning fire of divine truth. It will be like a judgment in miniature” (Message to Don Stefano Gobbi, May 22, 1988).

“What will come to pass is something so very great that it will exceed anything that has taken place since the beginning of the world. It will be like a judgment in miniature, and each one will see his own life and all he has done in the very light of God” (Message to Don Stefano Gobbi, October 2, 1992).

(http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/)

I would like to emphasize that this “illumination of the consciences” will be “DONE IN THE VERY LIGHT OF GOD”, that is the objective Truth (big “T”), not in the light of subjective or relativistic “truth” (little “t”) which the modern secular mass media communicates to us in a hidden, subtle, but very strong way that there is not sin or hell, or consequences for our “thoughts, words and deeds”!

There will be an IMPORTANT SYNOD before the Great Warning.

The Synod that precedes the Great Warning of Garabandal

(https://gloria.tv/media/DXiQ4o8H6EL)

(http://ducadeitempi.blogspot.it/2014/06/il-sinodo-che-precede-il-grande.html?view=mosaic)

Jesus said to Saint Faustina (of the Divine Mercy): “YOU WILL PREPARE THE WORLD FOR MY FINAL COMING” (Diary of Saint Faustina, 429). Jesus also said to Saint Faustina: “Woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation” (Diary, 1160).

Saint Francis of Assisi warned us over 800 years ago of “a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html):

“2. The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of others, will wither to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error.

7. Some preachers will keep silent about the truth and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.”

(http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/01/pope-benedict-xvi-force-to-resign.html)

“Rome will lose the faith and will become the seat of the Antichrist” – Our Lady of La Salette (1846).

Over 400 years ago Our Lady of Good Success warned us:

“Thus I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and shortly after the middle of the 20th century…the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of morals… As for the Sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with His Church, it will be attacked and deeply profaned. FREEMASONRY, which will then be in power, will enact iniquitous laws with the aim of doing away with this Sacrament, making it easy for everyone to live in sin and encouraging procreation of illegitimate children born without the blessing of the Church… IN THIS SUPREME MOMENT OF NEED FOR THE CHURCH, THE ONE WHO SHOULD SPEAK WILL FALL SILENT.”

Regarding what Our Lady of Good Success said, “In this supreme moment of need for the church, the one who should speak will fall silent”, it is very interesting that Our Lady said “the ONE who should speak”; she did not say, “the ONES who should speak”, or “those who should speak”, that is, not a group of bishops, but ONE PERSON. Today people are well prepared for this underhanded and very devastating deception of silence after many years of silence about sin and about the consequences of sin on the part of almost all the fathers of the families, of the priests and of the bishops.

(“The False Pope Will Fall Silent”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/09/the-false-pope-will-fall-silent.html).

The seer of Itapiranga, Brazil, Edson Glauber, with permission from his bishop, in the presence of his confessor, said on Februare 16, 2018:

Our Lady told me that the times are very difficult. As I said in Amazonia, I say also to you: that which still holds back to a certain extent the evil, as long as he is alive, is Pope Benedict. When Pope Benedict dies … poor humanity! I can say this with all sincerity. When Pope Benedict goes away … poor Church and poor humanity! And we must pray much. What is his name? Joseph. The month of Saint Joseph arrives … one never knows if Saint Joseph might come to take him in his month, or on his feast day …” (The feast day of Saint Joseph is March 19! Glauber did not indicate the year.)

And we must be always prepared, as if – Our Lady said – the last days of our life: in the grace of God, receiving the Eucharist, confessing always and asking for the light of the Holy Spirit. And I said in Amazzonia, before the altar of your house, kiss the pavement three times and ask: “Lord, that I may never loose my faith in the moments of difficult trials that will arrive soon in the world” (…)” (http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2018/03/email-bloccate-controllo-del-nom.html).

Glauber affirmed that with the death of Benedict XVI the devil will go wild.

Our Lady Queen of Peace (Anguera) has warned us many times that the Eucharist will be taken away:

“Dear Sons and Daughters, your life here on earth is, in truth, a continual succession of encounters with My Son Jesus, but the encounter most important with Jesus you have in the Eucharist. Value the Presence of My Jesus. There will come the day in which the Precious Food in many places will be taken away. Times will come when YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH MY JESUS WILL BE GIVEN IN SECRET, thanks to the Faithful Ministers who will remain firm in the truth. The time announced by God through Daniel will come. Be attentive. …” (Message 4442, given on 03/16/2017) (“Soon No More Eucharist Anguera”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/03/soon-no-more-eucharist-anguera.html; https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2017/03/18/soon-no-more-eucharist-anguera/).

Message from Luz de Maria, October 5, 2019:

“This generation teeming with sin is not being punished by god – no !, the chastisement has not yet come. The earth, unstable as it is, will be deviated by the breath of a star that will pass nearby without your being able to announce it, and here will be man’s lament” (https://littlepebble.org/2019/11/03/message-to-luz-de-maria-5-october-2019/).

I believe that this message is referring to the Dark Star around which Nibiru orbits and will pass very close to the Earth about five years after this message! Visit:

Regarding this period of great crisis, Our Lady revealed to Don Stefano Gobbi:

“MY ADVERSARY WILL ONE DAY THINK THAT HE IS CELEBRATING A COMPLETE VICTORY: over the world, over the Church, over souls. It will be only then that I will intervene – terrible and victorious – that his defeat may be all the greater when he is certain in his conviction that he has conquered once for all. What is in preparation is so extraordinary that its like has never happened since the creation of the world. That is why everything has already been predicted in the Bible. The terrible struggle between me, the Woman Clothed with the Sun, and “the Red Dragon” (Rev 12), Satan, who has now succeeded in seducing many souls…” (October 18, 1975; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

Our Lady communicated to Don Stefano Gobbi on November 22, 1992 (“To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):

“My beloved ones and children consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, listen to the words of your heavenly Mother, who is gently preparing you and leading you to live through these events, because the times which were foretold to you by the prophet Zechariah have now come. `An oracle of the Lord: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand against the little ones. `An oracle of the Lord: In all the land, two thirds of them will be cut off and perish; and one third shall be left. `I will pass this third through fire; I will refine it as silver is refined, test it as gold is tested. `It will call upon my Name, and I will hear it; I will say:"This is my people.” And it will say: “The Lord is my God.” ‘ (cf. Zech 13:7-9)”

“I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand against the little ones”. I believe that this coincides well with the prophecies of the FALSE POPE, who will corrupt “the little one”, especially those who have been abandoned by their parents and their pastors who have the vocation from God to protect the souls entrusted to them.

“Two thirds of them will be cut off and perish…” This means two thirds will lose their immortal souls in this period, and the third that saves their souls will pass “through fire; I will refine it as silver is refined, test it as gold is tested”! Right now there are very few people who have the courage to take the risk to open their eyes to the signs of the times so as not to be hypocrites (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3; 24:32-33,51), to go against the tide of the great majority, strongly manipulated by the highly controlled mass media, who have taken the easy way of being “politically correct”, and in particular today, in the Catholic Church (“Politically Correct in the Church – EWTN”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html)! In this period of the crucifixion of the Church, the purification of the Church and of the world, we are called to not flee from the sufferings that Jesus offers and shares with us, but to offer our lives for the Body of Christ, the Church, as did Mary, the “Queen of martyrs”, at the foot of the cross with Jesus totally covered with blood and wounds and humiliations and abandoned by almost everyone. Thus most of the very few who remain faithful to the uncomfortable truth in this period will later offer with their blood the grace for the conversion of many others so as to arrive to the prophesied one third who will save their immortal souls for all eternity. “The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians” – Tertullian.

FALSE SECURITY - Maria Divine Mercy - MDM

FALSE SECURITY - Maria Divine Mercy - MDM

Although I have written much on the topic of discernment of private revelation due to the journey of life that God has led me through, recently several people have expressed their disappointment that I do not approve of Maria of Divine Mercy (MDM), with the “Book of Truth” (BOT). Many people who approve of the BOT also approve of “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/), which is approved by hundreds of bishops and cardinals and thousands of priests since 1973.

In this article I would like only to offer briefly why I do not approve of Maria of Divine Mercy along with various references regarding the problems with Maria of Divine Mercy.

With the encouragement of my parents, I spent three years in a group associated with a false Marian apparition in the United States at Necedah, Wisconsin. At the end of this experience I wrote a book on private revelations which included several chapters on discernment of private revelation (“The Catholic Church and Private Revelation”; http://priv-rev.blogspot.com; http://necedah-cult.blogspot.com ; Wikipedia: “My Personal Reasons Why I Left The Shrine At Necedah, Wisconsin”; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necedah_Shrine). This book was instrumental in helping several hundred people leave this cult in Necedah, Wisconsin in 1983.

One can also visit an article that I wrote in April 2015 about a false seer who I met here in Italy:

In Italian: “Discernimento – Veggenti Falsi” (http://cibo-spir.blogspot.it/2015/04/discernimento-veggenti-falsi.html).

Prophetic private revelations are so important that Satan seeks in every way to diminish their divulgation, influence and effect. In 1882, Christ revealed to the stigmatist, Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais, France that: "In the last days, a seemingly unlimited amount of FALSE REVELATIONS will arise from hell like a swarm of flies; a last attempt of Satan to choke and to destroy the efficacy of the TRUE REVELATIONS by false ones."

This indicates that these revelations are important enough for Satan to try to diminish their effectiveness in helping to alert souls of the very great dangers in this period of time when even “the elect will be deceived if possible” (Mt 24:24). But this also indicates that there are many false revelations and thus one must be wise and prudent especially in regards to recent revelations in which the proper Church authorities have not made any pronouncement yet.

St. John also tells us: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1Jn 4:1).

In my written works on private revelation (see: http://necedah-cult.blogspot.com and http://priv-rev.blogspot.com) I quoted St. Thomas Aquinas, the "angelic doctor” of the Church, who tells us, in regards to private revelation that, "The prophets who foretold the coming of Christ could not continue further than John, who with his finger pointed to Christ actually present. Nevertheless as Jerome says on this passage, 'This does not mean that there were no more prophets after John. For we read in the Acts of the apostles that Agabus and the four maidens, daughters of Philip, prophesied. John, too, wrote a prophetic book about the end of the Church; and at all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine of faith, but FOR THE DIRECTION OF HUMAN ACTS." (Sum. Theol.II-II, 174, 6).

Our Lady told us: “Darkness, with a thick, cold fog, has entered the Church, obscuring it in the splendor of its truth. For this reason, every day, my word is forming you to the spirit of wisdom, that you may always see, in the light, the truth which my Son has taught you and proclaim it with courage to all in its integrity. The time has now come when only the little children, consecrated to my Immaculate Heart and entrusted completely to their heavenly Mother, will have the gift of keeping themselves intact in the faith and of bringing to the true faith the souls entrusted to them” (February 9, 1985; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

This is why Satan offers “a seemingly unlimited amount of FALSE REVELATIONS will arise from hell like a swarm of flies”. Also in this period, there will be a just punishment for our great disobedience and rebellion against God and against His holy Laws, in particular in the last 50-60 years, to the teachings of the Church, especially those regarding sexual morality.

In this period of “Darkness, with a thick, cold fog, which has entered the Church, obscuring it in the splendor of its truth”, we need the guidance of our Heavenly Mother.

But there are many false seers today! In the Blue Book, “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”, Our Lady tells us:

“Today, many are the FALSE PROPHETS who are spreading lying messages in order to cast many of my children into anguish and fear” (December 1, 1985).

“Satan has sought in many ways to destroy it (Marian Movement of Priests, MMP), by stirring up opposition and criticisms against it, persecutions and obstacles, subtle snares on the part of FALSE VISIONARIES and false messages, which have succeeded in misleading a great number of my poor children” (June 19, 1993).

“Do not let yourselves become distracted or enticed along other roads, because today many are those who are spreading FALSE MESSAGES and untrue visions” (March 22, 1995).

“Travel this road with me. I am leading you along it that, at the moment of greatest darkness, you may find there my light. Do not let yourselves be drawn aside by vain curiosity; do not look for other confirmations” (September 8, 1977).

The “Prophecy of Saint Francis” (Assisi) tells us (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html):

“2. The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of others, will withered to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error.

Even though we have been deprived of the guidance of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope, in this period, if we follow only our human opinions and judgments regarding private revelations, WE COULD EASILY BE DECEIVED, including myself! Thus not only prayer is very needed, but also in depth study of the discernment regarding private revelations. One of the fundamental criteria in this discernment, which can be found in the article “Private Revelation” (https://priv-rev.blogspot.com/), is humility and obedience. We find in the classic book for our times, “True Devotion to Mary”, by St. Louis de Montfort, that Mary in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), is forming her army of the truly humble, while Satan takes the rest, those who are not seeking the truth outside of their own heads or of their group, and are not willing to dialogue with those of good will who are not in agreement with themselves.

It is not enough that a private revelation offers some prophecies that have come true, because also Satan knows well his own plans in this period when Satan has tremendous power to deceive, especially in the last three and a half years of this period when there will no longer be the Eucharist in all the public churches in the world (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/the-eucharist-in-catacombs.html; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/03/soon-no-more-eucharist.html; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html).

The “angel of light”, Satan (Jn 8:44), offers seemingly good things and prophecies and 95% truth, so as to insinuate that all is orthodox and OK, while inserting and promoting in a camouflaged way very grave errors in doctrine which will cause great damage, as does a few drops of poison in a nice glass of wine. We are living in a world more full of falsehoods than ever before - beautiful deadly lies from “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44), presented as if they were the truth, hidden destructive deceptions - such as the devil, hell and sin no longer exist!!! The great majority of the pastors today “are all DUMB DOGS, they cannot bark” (Is 56:10), and thus do not warn the sheep of the very sly wolf, Satan, and his very numerous collaborators! These poor pastors, who seek to please men instead of God (Jn 5:44; Mt 6:1-6, 16-18; Gal 1:10), offer misguided compassion and half truths (which are worse than lies!), especially to speak only about mercy without “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (Jn 8:11; 5:14)! Our Lady continually asks us to PRAY FOR PRIESTS AND BISHOPS! In ‘Amoris Laetitia’ and in the two preceding synods, there was no mention or concern of the great harm done to children of separated parents (personal responsibility), but only the desires of the adults.

We are constantly brainwashed by just about all the means of social communication which are very often instruments for the moral corruption of consciences, for the diffusion of vice and obscenity, for rebellion against all authority, and for sin which is now proposed as a good and as something of value. The youth are pushed to have more noise outside and inside of themselves in many ways. There are also many strong methods of convincing the youth (and also adults, manipulated to be “politically correct”, also in the Church!) that they are worth something only if they are recognized on stage in “X Factor”, “Italy’s God Talent”, and similar movies, which makes it very difficult to seek and to hear the subtle voice of the Holy Spirit within themselves so as to discover their great worth and value and guidance in the love and union with God.

The fundamental criteria is true humility as Saint Louis de Montfort tells us and which is explained in much greater detail in the private revelations of Our Lady through Don Stefano Gobbi: “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/). Our Lady continually tells us that we must become little children in her arms “with complete abandonment and with the greatest confidence in your immaculate Mother” (February 2, 1981, etc.). Without true humility, there is always spiritual blindness and obstinacy in not listening to anyone not in agreement with ourselves. This is the moment to be with Jesus on the cross and Mary at the foot of the cross in this period of the purification, of the crucifixion of the Body of Christ, the Church (cf. CCC 675-677)! What did Mary do during the scandal of the crucifixion? What must we do during the crucifixion of the Body of Christ, the Church, so as to imitate our Sorrowful Mother? Jesus was a priest on the cross and very often in the Blue Book one finds the words of the heavenly Mother who prepares her “beloved Sons”, the priests, for the same great vocation of our Lord Jesus, of our “immolation” with Jesus!

Mary is the great general with more than five stars in this great battle between “the woman clothed with the sun” and the “great red dragon” (Rev 12), not a particular priest such as Father Joe or Don Minutella or Don Laurent L. or the Bishop Fellay (the superior of the SSPX)!!! With the “Arch of the Covenant” of the Old Testament the walls of Jericho came tumbling down (Joshua 5:13 – 6:27). The “Arch of the Covenant” of the New Testament is Mary, who carried in her womb God for nine months. How many times in the Blue Book Our Lady tells us that we priests must become little children in the arms of Mary, repeated often by Don Stefano Gobbi, “two month old babies in the arms of our Heavenly Mother”! It is Our Lady who God has chosen to crush the head of the serpent (Satan) in the period of time (Gen 3:15)!

Also in this period of great crisis socially, politically, economically and spiritually, there is more than ever before a great human DESIRE TO FIND STABILITY AND SECURITY, which can be only found in true humble abandonment to God through His Mother Mary in each present moment, NOT in the false security which Satan offers us in many ways. Part of our just punishment in this period, as indicated above by the prophecy of Saint Francis of Assisi, is to lose the guidance of the Pope, that is to lose the gift of security in the guidance of an apparent living Pope. In the history of mankind, there are numerous examples of people and groups clinging on to false securities which were not based on true trust in God but in themselves and in their own groups; these groups range from the early Donatists in the time of Saint Augustine to Protestants sects (“Once saved always saved!”) to numerous recent schismatic groups.

Recently there are many new groups (even supposedly Catholic, with the Rosary?!?) and movements all over the Web and Facebook which offer wellbeing and all the solutions to our problems (without Christ the Truth!) and are leading us quickly, with beautiful words, slogans and pictures, toward a One World Religion, based on a false ecumenism in which there is a reductionism to the lowest common denominator so that the Catholics, with the fullness of the Truth and means of Sanctification (VCII, LG 8), will have to forfeit our most precious means of sanctification, especially the Eucharist, and the fullness of Truth, in order to be all united in the name of “love” and “mercy” and “universal brotherhood”, but without the Truth, Who is Jesus Christ (Jn 14:6)!?! As one of many examples, we find on a Slogan Picture of “True Life in God” (www.TLIG.org): “Unity in Diversity All worshipping GOD around ONE altar”. We are being quickly manipulated and brainwashed to arrived to the point of “The Abomination of Desolation” when the Liturgy of the Mass worldwide will be radically changed and rendered INVALID with the excuse of “Unity in Diversity All worshipping GOD around ONE altar”. Very few will realize this catastrophic loss of the Eucharist but they will see immediately the devastating effects even though they will not know the cause of the great overwhelming change!!! At this point there will be no Eucharist in all the public churches of the world for the last three and a half years of this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), when “the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away, and the “sacrifice and offering” will cease (Dan 9:27), which Jesus foretold (Mt 24:15) (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2018/04/the-abomination-of-desolation.html), and we will see fulfilled chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation in which all will be led to worship the Antichrist!

By now today, the society has arrived so spiritually and morally low that a great number of people believe that the only solution is to offer and welcome more and more compromises, and to put aside those things in which we are not all in agreement, especially the Eucharist, Mary, the documents of the Magisterium of the Church, summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults (CCC), in particular regarding sexual morality. It is precisely now that the world needs, more than ever before, these “means of sanctification”, especially the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, found only in the Church founded by Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church. It is precisely now, when Satan has succeeded in spreading more than ever before his beautiful lies, as if they were the truth, and half truths (which are worse than lies!), that we need the infallible guidance of the true and authentic Magisterium of the Church! “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into ALL THE TRUTH” (Jn 16:13), not half truths, such as mercy without conversion, as if we are animals without responsibility and without an immortal soul!!!

OUR ONLY TRUE SECURITY is true humble total trust in Jesus through “the Ark of the New Covenant”, the Immaculate Heart of Mary. “At the time of Noah, immediately before the flood, those whom the Lord had destined to survive his terrible chastisement entered into the ark. In these your times, I am inviting all my beloved children to enter into the Ark of the New Covenant which I have built in my Immaculate Heart for you, that they may be assisted by me to carry the bloody burden of the great trial, which precedes the coming of the day of the Lord” (“To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”: July 30, 1986; March 15, 1993; December 8, 1996; December 31, 1996). “The IMMACULATE HEART, (…) ark of the new Covenant, (…) is found ONLY here in the TABERNACLE where Jesus is truly kept” (August 21, 1987). This is our true security, but we must live, moment by moment, our consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which means extreme abandonment in our Heavenly Mother (February 2, 1978; July 30, 1974; July 29, 1979), not in ourselves, ready to suffer everything for love of Jesus. As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he could walk on water; as soon as he took his eyes off of Jesus, Peter sank into the water (Mt 14:27-31)! Mary helps us keep our eyes and hearts TOTALLY on Jesus!

In this period there will be a great and eternal separation among all living human beings. The first beast, the Antichrist, along with the second beast, the False Prophet, will deceive those who will willing receive the mark of the beast and who will worship the image of the beast (Rev 19:20; 13:16). The truly humble, who truly trust in God, not in themselves, will receive “the seal of God”. It is the angels who are to seal “the servants of God on their foreheads” (Rev 7:3) with “the seal of God” (Rev 9:4), NOT the “Seal of the Living God” by way of a supposed seer, Maria Divine Mercy, MDM! This “seal of God” will be given to those who truly live faith, hope, charity and humility, so as to have true union with the crucified Body of Christ (CCC 675-677), with Christ crucified and Mary at the foot of the cross so that Jesus and Mary will be with each of us in our immolation in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21)! This is our true and only security, NOT A SEAL ON A PIECE OF PAPER distributed by a supposed seer, Maria Divine Mercy, MDM!!! “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15, 23; 15:10; 1Jn 5:3; 2Jn 6). THIS IS OUR REAL AND TRUE SECURITY!!!

“If any, after having consecrated themselves to me, have come to a halt, it is because they have no longer listened to, meditated upon, or lived my messages” (November 9, 1984). Our Lady did NOT say: “it is because they did not have the Seal of the Living God on a piece of paper” from a supposed seer!?!

Thus I would encourage everyone to read more than once the whole Blue Book, “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”, as well as to study the proper criteria of discernment of private revelations. Below, in the Appendix, you can find various web sites that offer information about the serious problems with the supposed seer, Maria Divine Mercy, MDM.
