Spiritual Resource: Novena to God the Holy Ghost 2017

This spiritual resource should have been posted on Friday, May 26, 2017, the Feast of Saint Philip Neri within the Octave of the Ascension of Our Lord and the Commemoration of Pope Saint Eleutherius. Indeed, my newest article should have been posted before Friday!

It has been within God’s Holy Providence, however, that a series of problems, including a tire that had gone flat while we were driving on an interstate highway, necessitating an unexpected stop and a futile effort to find a tire shop that had was open for business at a late hour, occurred on the Feast of the Ascension. This had a ripple effect on other plans. Suffice it to say that it has been impossible to do any work (or even look at the few websites I access several times a week) given the difficulties, but I do hope to have the article on the Argentine Apostate’s meeting with President Donald John Trump last week posted by tonight or tomorrow.

 

We began the oldest of all of Holy Mother Church's Novenas, the Novena to God the Holy Ghost in preparation for Pentecost Sunday, May 15, 2016, on Friday night, May 26, 2017. The last day to pray for the Novena, of course, is on the Vigil of Pentecost, Saturday, June 3, 2017.

On the Feast of the Ascension: Christ the King Takes His Throne In Heaven

[A commentary about Jorge's meeting with President Donald John Trump is being written. However, the hour is much too late to complete it. I should have done by late today. Thank you.]

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's forty days' of teaching the Apostles after his glorious Resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday culminated this very day, Ascension Thursday, as He instructed the Eleven as follows before going up into Heaven from Mount Olivet at whose foot He had suffered His Agony in the Garden six weeks before as Saints Peter, James and John slumbered:

"And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." (Matthew 28: 16-20.)

 

 'There is no "expiration" date on this command. Indeed, the commentary in the Bishop Richard Challoner version of the Douay-Rheims Bible explains that the command is in force until Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comes in glory on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead and that His Church could never go astray, meaning, of course, that it is impossible for the Catholic Church to give any impression at all that God is pleased with false religions such as Mohammedanism and Talmudic Judaism, which is what the conciliar "popes" have done consistently in the past fifty years, having reached the point of complete absurdity now under Jorge Mario Bergoglio:

18 "All power"... See here the warrant and commission of the apostles and their successors, the bishops and pastors of Christ's church. He received from his Father all power in heaven and in earth: and in virtue of this power, he sends them (even as his Father sent him, St. John 20. 21) to teach and disciple, not one, but all nations; and instruct them in all truths: and that he may assist them effectually in the execution of this commission, he promises to be with them, not for three or four hundred years only, but all days, even to the consummation of the world. How then could the Catholic Church ever go astray; having always with her pastors, as is here promised, Christ himself, who is the way, the truth, and the life. St. John 14."

The Catholic Church can never go astray. She is infallible. She does not give us any "new ecclesiology" or "hermeneutic of continuity and discontinuity" to deconstruct the meaning of dogmatic truth, thus attacking the essence of the nature of God Himself, or false ecumenism. Her pastors do not esteem the symbols and values and places of false religions and they do not engage in "inter-religious" "prayer" services. Her pastors do not teach that false religions have a "right" from God to propagate their false beliefs publicly and they do not praise those false beliefs for being "able" to "contribute" to the building of a "better" world. Pastors of the Catholic Church insist always and at all times that Catholicism is the one and only foundation of personal and social order with no equivocation, uncertainty, ambiguity or obscurity of any kind. As Pope Pius XI noted in Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928, there is need to "strain" to "find" Catholicism in the pronouncements made by Holy Mother Church:

"For the teaching authority of the Church, which in the divine wisdom was constituted on earth in order that revealed doctrines might remain intact for ever, and that they might be brought with ease and security to the knowledge of men, and which is daily exercised through the Roman Pontiff and the Bishops who are in communion with him, has also the office of defining, when it sees fit, any truth with solemn rites and decrees, whenever this is necessary either to oppose the errors or the attacks of heretics, or more clearly and in greater detail to stamp the minds of the faithful with the articles of sacred doctrine which have been explained. " (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

How has the integrity of the doctrine of the First Commandment been stamped on "minds of the faithful" by the words and deeds of the conciliar "popes"?

Christ the King has taken His throne in Heaven. We must ascend with Him in our thoughts and prayers at all times as we refuse to have our minds and hearts poisoned by the words and the deeds of the false shepherds of the counterfeit church of conciliarism who dare to blaspheme God so regularly and so openly and/or who refuse to open their mouths in defense of the honor and majesty and glory of God when He is so blasphemed and offended.

As the angel made clear to the Eleven as they looked into the sky as Our Lord disappeared from their sight on this day, there is work for us to do:

"They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments. " Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James. All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren." (Acts 1: 6-14.)

Yes, we can't stand around all day long looking into the sky. There is work for us to do before Our Lord comes for us at the moment of our own Particular Judgments, which can come at any hour and on any day, and at the end of the world to judge the living and the dead. 

The work that we have to do is to sanctify and to save our immortal souls as members of the Catholic Church, work that requires us to be attentive to the graces that were won for us on the wood of the Holy Cross by the shedding of every single drop of Our Blessed Lord Saviour Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood and the flow into our hearts and souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces. And to cooperate with the graces that Our Lady sends we must be fortified in prayer, which is one of the reasons that we must keep most assiduously the first Novena in the history of the Church, the Novena to God the Holy Ghost. Our Lady was separated from her Divine Son when He Ascended to Heaven. She was united to Him, however, by means of her reception of His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion. She was united to the Apostles and the others who prayed in the same Upper Room where He had instituted the Holy Priesthood and the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday. She is united to us. She is our Blessed Mother. We need to ask her for all the graces that we need to save and to sanctify our souls as we eschew worldliness, which is the theme of today's substantially revised article, and as we refuse to participate in the fraud of a false religion, conciliarism, that is replete with daily outrages given to her Divine Son, starting with the outrage that is the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo service, and as we make much reparation for our sins and those of the whole world as the consecrated slaves of her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

A blessed Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Chronicling the Adversary's Global Takeover of the Healthcare Industry

This commentary was posted ten minutes before three o’clock in the morning on Rogation Tuesday (and, in some places, the Commemoration of Saint John Baptist de Rossi). A few typogrphical errors have been correct. Additionally, there are links in the body of the commentary below containing Dr. Paul Byrne's edit of the study on which this commentary is based

The commentary provides access to a Palliative Care" Study that is quite comprehensive and very accurate.

Additionally, there are links in the body of the commentary below containing Dr. Paul Byrne's edit of the study on which this commentary is based

I ask those who read this article to do so with care and to consider the facts contained in it as the subject matter is truly one of life and death.

Thank you for your patience.

What?

The Donald is going to meet The Jorge?

I know.

Give me a few days. I’ll get to this as I have a few other things to about the man who touched the glowing orb in Saudi Arabia with characters straight out of Beau Hunks and the man who is the “papal” globalist.

May 22, 2017, Update

Well,, I have almost completed most of the text for my next commentary, which is a detailed examination of contemporary "palliative care" and the organizations responsible for institutionalizing a system of death throughout the American healthcare system.

That is, rather than providing the acutely or chronically ill with treatments to help them recover, "palliative care" as it exists today is designed to condition such people to be placed on a course of "treatment" that is designed to kill them over the course of time. Much depends upon a number of variables (age, economic status, type of illness, suscepetibility to "cooperating" with the "program," etc.). However, the entirely the "palliative care" industry is under the direction of "providers" who have been trained in progams that have been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and by organizations associated with a certain chap named George Soros. Ever hear of him? Ah, yes, I thought that you might have heard the name once or twice before.

My commentary provides access to extensive documentation of the facts about contemporary "palliative care." As Mark Felt, the Federal Bureau of Investigation informant who was one of the principal sources used by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward in their reporting on "Watergate"-related matters for The Washington Post, said, "Follow the money." The money trail in this instance is irrefutable. So are the goals for which the money was spent. The deadly results speak for themselves.

As the forthcoming commentary is very long and in need of just a bit more work before being posted, I beg your indulgence for another day as I have been doing nothing other than working on this project since posting my last commentary five days ago. The time has been taken, however, as this is quite literally a matter of life and death, which is why careful distinctions have been made and the necessary documentation provided.

A commentary on matters related on circus of naturalism will follow later this week. 

Thank you for your patience on this Rogation Day.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Bergoglio the Blaspheming Heretic Lives Down to Expectations at Fatima, part two

The hour is late (or early!) that there is only enough strength left to thank readers for their patience as this long and very detailed commentary was written.

Although there will be a part three of this series, I do want to complete my commentary on "palliative" care, which itself will take about as long as this current article to complete.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Update on the Feast of Saint Ubaldus

Work is proceeding in a methodical manner on part two of "Bergoglio the Blasphemer at Fatima," It is turn, ing out to be a long commentary that requires extensive documentation. Most of this afternoon and evening today, Tuesday, May 16, 2017will be spent completing the article for posting. Thank you for your patience.

As this is the Feast of Saint Ubaldus, who was the Bishop of Gubbio, Italy, and who died about sixty years before Saint Francis of Assisi tamed the notorious "Wolf of Gubbio," the account of his life in the readings for Matins in today's Divine Office is very instructive:

Ubald was born of a noble family at Gubbio in Umbria, and well established in godliness and learning from his earliest years. When he was a young man, it was often proposed to him to marry, but he never abandoned his determination to preserve his virginity. After that he was ordained Priest he divided his inheritance among the poor and Churches, and embraced the Institute of Canons Regular of St Austin. This Institute he brought to Gubbio, and for some time led therein a most holy life. When the fame of his saintliness had got noised abroad, Pope Honorius II. set him, contrary to his own wishes, over the Church of Gubbio, and he was honoured with consecration as Bishop by the hands of the said Pope himself, in the year of our Lord 1129.

When Ubald came to live as Bishop in Gubbio, he changed his way of life in no wise from that which he had led before, but his virtues began to be more eminent because his word and example were now more able to benefit his neighbours, to whom the shepherd of their souls was a pattern, not by outward showing only, but from his heart. He ate little, dressed simply, and slept upon a hard and very poor bed. He "always bore in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus," (2 Cor. iv. 10,) while he daily fed his soul in unceasing and earnest prayer. Hence he acquired such wonderful meekness, that when he was most grievously wronged and insulted he not only took it patiently, but, by a strange impulse of love for them, embraced his persecutors with every proof of affection.

Just the space of two years before Ubald passed away from this present life, he was tried as gold in the furnace, by grievous bodily weakness, and, day after day, amid the sharpest sufferings, he never ceased patiently to give God thanks. He rested in peace on the sacred day of Pentecost, in the year 1160, having for many years governed with great praise the Church which had been entrusted to him, and glorious for good works and miracles. Pope Celestine III. numbered him with the Saints. His strength is most chiefly shown in the casting out of evil spirits. His body hath remained without corruption for all these ages, and is reverenced greatly in his native town by Christ's faithful people. To them he hath more than once shown himself good at need. (The Divine Office, Matins, Feast of Saint Ubaldus.)

We pray to Saint Ubaldus in a time when evil spirits abound and certain types of moral corruption are taken as having "elements" of true "marriage." 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Ubaldus, pray for us.

 

 

Bergoglio the Blaspheming Heretic Lives Down to Expectations at Fatima, part one

Bergoglio has now left Fatima after busily blaspheming Our Lady and distorting her Fatima Message in such a blatant way as to betray him as one of the proudest and boldest conciliar revolutionary we have seen since the death of Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958. He had an able assistant in his work of blasphemy and distortion in the person of the conciliar Vatican's Secretary of State, Pietro "Cardinal" Parolino.

This is part one of a three-part commentary. It was published at 1:44 a.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2017, the one hundredth anniversry of Our Lady's first Fatima Apparition and the Feast of Saint Robert Bellarmine.

Although work on part two is proceeding, it is simply not possible to complete it as it is now past 11;10 p.m. on May 13, 2017. Prudence dictates a cesation of work, which will resume tomorrow afternoon. Part two will cover Bergoglio's "homily" at the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service, which was followed by the conciliar "canonization" of Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Bergoglio, true to the demons that infest his soul, tried to make the holy Jacinta and Francisco in witnesses in behalf of conciliarisim, although he was a bit more subtle than it had been on Friday, May 12, 2017, at a candlight service at the Shrine of the Apparitions. Part-three will cover the press conference that he held yesterday afternoon while flying back to Rome. 

Thank you for your patience. 

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Saint Robert Bellarmine, pray for us.

Saint Boniface the Martyr, pray for us.

Living Under the Adversary's Rules, part two

As tomorrow is the one hundredth anniversary of Our Lady's first apparition in the Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portgual, which will be marred by the presence of a figure of Antichrist, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a veritable poster-boy for the errors of Russia, I thought it useful to expand on the last article published on this site to demonstrate the chaos in which we find ourseleves at this time has many anteceent roots, including those found right here in the United States of America with "religious liberty" and "freedom of conscience."

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for.

Saints Nereus, Achelleus, Domatilla, and Pancratius, pray for us. 

Living Under the Adversary's Rules

President Donald John Trump issued an executive order on religious liberty six days ago. This is a not-so-little commentary on that order.

Athough the hour is late, I do want to call the attention of this site's readers to excellent post at Novus Ordo Watch Wire on the "bad popes" error that so many in the "resist while recognize" movement continue to make. 

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

May 9, 2016 Update: Feast of Saint Gregory Nazianzen within the Octave of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph

Although I am working on very long and detailed commentary on President Donald John Trump's May 4, 2017, Executive Order to "protect free speech and religious liberty," the commentary requires another full day of work before it can be completed. 

I do not write in "sound bites," which means that I try to be thorough and comprehensive in my commenataries. Although it is taking me longer than in the past to complete such commentaries, I am trying to provide food for Catholic thought beyond the emotionalism of any given moment. All I can do is to ask your patience and beg your forgivenss as I continue work on the next article, which will be followed by another commentary on the American death industry.

My hope is to finish the death-care industry commentary before Friday, May 12, 2017, the Feast of Saints Nereus, Achilleus, Domitlla and Pancratius, as the false "pontiff," Jorge Mario Bergoglio, will arrive in Fatima, Portugal, on that day to begin his two days of deconstruction and misrepresentation of Our Lady's Fatima Message on the one hundredth anniversary of her first apparition, which took place in the Cova da Iria near Fatima on May 13, 2017.

In order to prepare those who access this site now and again for the lies and blasphemies that Bergoglio will utter in Fatima, it might be useful to review On Full Display: The Modernist Mind, which discussed the deconstruction, distortion and misrepresentation that his predecessor, Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, used to undermine Our Lady's very physical presence in Fatima, no less her entire message.

As today is the feast of a bishop and doctor of Holy Mother Church who is honored by both West and East, Saint Gregory Nazianzen, today's readings from the Divine Office might be edifying for the readers of this site:

Gregory, to whom, is commonly given, on account of his extraordinary depth of sacred learning, the title of "the Divine", was a noble Cappadocian, born at Nazianzus in that country, and educated at Athens along with St. Basil, with whom likewise, when they had acquired knowledge in divers branches of earthly learning, he gave himself up to learn the things of God. This they did for some years in a Monastery, framing their opinions, not out of their own heads, but according to the interpretation arrived at by the wisdom and decision of the ancients. They were both distinguished by power of doctrine and holiness of life, they were both called to the duty of preaching the Gospel of truth and, through the Gospel. they both begat many sons unto Christ.

Gregory after a while returned home. He was first made Bishop of Sasima, and afterwards administered the Church at Nazianzus. Then he was called to rule the Church of Constantinople. That city, which he found reeking with heresy, he purged, and brought again to the Catholic faith. But this, which deserved for him the warmest love of all men, raised up many enemies. Among the Bishops themselves there was a great party against him, and to still their contentions, he, of his own free will, gave up his see, saying with the Prophet Jonah: "Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea so shall the sea be calm unto you for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you," i. 12. So he went his way back again to Nazianzus, and when he had seen that Eulalius was set over that Church, he gave himself up altogether to think and write concerning the things of God.

He wrote much, both in prose and verse, with wonderful godliness and eloquence. According to the judgment of learned and holy men, there is nothing in his writings which anywhere strays from the line of true godliness and Catholic truth, and not a single word which any one can justly call in doubt. He was one of the latest champions of the doctrine that the Son is of one substance with the Father. No one has ever won greater praise for goodness of life, neither was any man more earnest in prayer. During the reign of the Emperor Theodosius, he dwelt in the country after the manner of a monk, and unceasingly taken up with writing and reading, until, in a good old age, he laid down his earthly, to enter on an heavenly life. (Matins, The Divine Office, Feast of Saint Gregory Nazianzen.)

The same cannot be said of the conciliar "popes," can it?

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Saint Gregory Nazianzen, pray for us.
