Warning for Today

“Then all the disciples left him and fled.” When you compare the Gospel we had at the beginning of this Palm Sunday service and the Gospel we just read, it’s almost like whiplash between the triumphal entry, and then just a few days later, this crucifixion. And Maria Val Torta, the mystic Maria Val Torta, when she’s speaking about the describing Palm Sunday, she said, “this triumphal entry went to the heads of the apostles and disciples, and they thought, This is it. It’s been a difficult road, but now everybody has joined him. Everybody sees him.”  You know the triumph, we’re just on the verge of the great triumph. And they were thinking that well ,yet Jesus had said some sad things were going to happen, but kind of like that, they put that out of their mind. No, this was the great triumph which was beginning. And Jesus had tried to warn them, but it was so hard for them to accept His words. When I was preparing for this homily, I thought I wanted to see if there’s one of the messages of the reconquest which talks about Palm Sunday. And I found that there was one. Do you know which one it was, and do you remember when it was given? Because it was given at a very particular time. So, it was given, Sister received it last May 16. So that’s just days after the election of Leo. So that’s very significant, because that was a moment which was very encouraging to a lot of people, wanting to hope that the trial of the Church was ending, a great new period was beginning. And so, the message is to help us understand what’s going on right now. So, it’s words which come from love, but which call us to vigilance. I was reading Bishop Strickland, Bishop Joseph Strickland. He right around that time, or shortly afterwards, he wrote a reflection called something like a rose, by any other name, you know, from Shakespeare’s, from Shakespeare’s writings. And what, basically, what he was saying was that there was a great deception, because Leo was using much more traditional trappings and language, but the agenda was basically the same as Francis agenda. And he said that very clearly, and so that has been, it’s actually more deceptive because you have traditional appearances, but a very different agenda. And so, I wanted to read to you that message that the Lord gave, which refers to Palm Sunday. So, it’s a long message. I’ll cut out some parts, but these are words from the Lord, and so they’re simple and very deep. And so, as I’ve often said, we won’t remember everything. We won’t understand everything. But as He said that we don’t have to understand everything, just the fact that we humbly open our hearts with trust to Him permits the words to bear fruit in us, even if we don’t understand and remember everything. And so, this message has two parts. One is from God the Father, and then one is from our Blessed Mother. So, it begins with a call for silence, listening to God and vigilance. And He says, “On Guard, children, the battle has not ended.” So again, this is right after the election of Leo. “The battle has not ended. The hatred against me has not ceased. The blasphemies have not ceased to be uttered. The heresies have not ceased to be pronounced. On guard.” And then He speaks of the Church like a tree, a big tree, but which has become diseased by a corrupted hierarchy. He says, “children, the pruning is coming soon.” So again, remember what Jesus told His apostles clearly what was coming, so they would be prepared. But they were either, they couldn’t accept it, they didn’t want to accept it. So, it made it much worse for them. Here we have Jesus telling us what’s coming to help us, to make it easier, to help us get through that. But again, like then, so many are not listening. And so, though He had tried, they won’t be ready. He said, “the pruning is coming soon, in which all the dry and corrupt branches will be cut down. My tree will need to be cut down to the root, down to the root children, because there is nothing sound in it anymore.” So, he’s talking about the corruption that has been growing and affecting the Church. How many plagues, how many storms, how many satanic grafts, how many attacks has My blessed tree received, set in place to give shelter, nourishment, medicine.” And then He talks about the usurpation in the hierarchy. He says, “I know. I see. I see all children. Do not forget this. What is hidden, what is evident and what is hidden. No one can deceive me. And I say to you, My Church on earth has been usurped in its hierarchy. The poison that satan has introduced in 1001 ways throughout the centuries, has given its quote fruit unquote, and he thinks he has accomplished his victory in appearance, destroying the Mystical Body of My Jesus as he tried to destroy the physical body of My Jesus on the cross.” So he’s saying that the Church is living now what Jesus lived. And so now this is the part where He references the Palm Sunday. He says, “Do not be deceived. Do not remain in the hosannahs. Remember all that we have said to you, you have so soon forgotten it.” That was so true with the election of Leo, we saw that so many people completely forgot what the Lord had said. “Do not forget what came after the apparent victory of the entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Remember children what happened but a few hours later. On guard, what is written, what has been announced from of old, will take place. I have said to you, I will purify My Church. I will restore it. Only I can do so. Do not look for vain hopes and human victories that do not come from Me. With how little tinsel you become distracted,” with how little tinsel appearances, clothes, ceremonies, “with how little tinsel you become distracted, with how few words you are confused and forget, my words that come forth from My heart out of love for you. Children, you are under attack. My Church is under the most vicious, the most subtle, the cruelest attack of satan and his servants. This attack is about to reach its peak, and what you see as victory and hope is but the eye of the hurricane. The closer a lie is to the truth, the more dangerous and harmful it is.” So, He’s saying that the deception under Leo is actually more dangerous than that of Francis, which was more apparent. “My children. I love you. I have gathered you in my heart so that with me, you participate, cooperate in the restoration of all that is created. Remain then with Me in the awaiting of My action, seeing as I see, knowing that everything is in My hands without fear or anxiety.” Let Me repeat that,without fear or anxiety – “and the security that you are Mine. Remain with Me. I take you up on the High Rock, so that you can see what is taking place around you the way I see it, so that you can understand what is truly taking place. So that you may be ready for battle, so that you may be outside of the smoke with which satan has filled everything, creating confusion, fear, treason. Your Father loves you. Let this truth be engraved in you. It is the main root, the holy sap that gives life to all. Let this truth cast out all fear, all anxiety, vain questionings, the bonds with sin, with your own pride. This truth is summed up in one person, in My Jesus. Contemplate His face.” So, we have you know during this time, the face from the Holy Shroud. “Contemplate His face, contemplate His wounds, contemplate His heart, contemplate His words, contemplate His love and obedience to Me. Contemplate his death, contemplate His resurrection, contemplate His living presence among you. Children, contemplate this truth, pure, holy, immaculate. Let His gaze fillyou. Let His blood cover you, let His light illuminate you. Unite your wounds to His, place His name in your hearts and minds as a shield. Do not cease to gaze on Him, to love Him and you will not cease to gaze on Me. Again, vigilance. Do not fear. I am your Fatherwho loves you. I am your all powerful God. Trust Me. Everything is in My hands, My blessing descends upon you, My army. I love you.” And then after the message from the Father, there is a shorter message from our Blessed Mother. “My little children, your mother sees the anguish of your heart. What does this election mean? Is it valid? Are there not good signs? Is this an answer to our prayers? What about so many prophecies? Were they false? And how many more questions churn in your hearts? Children, be at peace. Make silence. Await the action of our God. We have said to you that we have a plan. We have said to you that this plan advances without stopping. We have announced to you the beginning of the reconquest, the opening of this phase of our plan. Wait. Be attentive. Do not let yourselves be deceived by appearances, nor by false words. Can the wolves give birth to a lamb? No.” That’s a very strong statement. Can the wolves give birth to a lamb? Again, this is coming right after the Conclave and election. “Children, in the face of the reigning confusion, in the face of the events that seem so contradictory, hopeful, terrifying, do not lose peace. Come and take refuge in my heart. The newly born Church took refuge in my heart after the death of my Jesus. In my heart, faith was preserved. In my heart, pierced by so many lances, hope was preserved, And the truth was preserved, the truth that few at that moment were able to receive and accept, that Jesus had to die in order to rise on the third day, opening the gates of heaven to the Children of God with His blood. Today, too, children, you must take refuge in my heart as everything crumbles down, as the Church quote dies unquote, in the expectation of being purified and renewed. In my heart is faith, hope and the truth. Here you can breathe pure air after the fetid smoke of satan. Here you can see with clarity after the darkness of the confusion that reigns in the world at this time. Here you can be in silence and listen to the voice of the Father after the deafening noise of the enemy’s lies. Come again and again to this refuge that is given to you. Do not be afraid. Come. In my heart You can pray, adore and be strengthened for the battle.” Then she talks about prayer for priest, and then she concludes. “Walk without fear. The time of timidity and fear has ended. This is the hour of the brave children. This is the hour of those who love Jesus. My little ones, I love you. Your Heavenly Mother blesses you. Be at peace. Be attentive. Be on guard, children.” And so, this message was a strong call to vigilance, to be on guard, but not to fear, but on the contrary, to live these times with hope and with peace founded on the rock of the love of Jesus Christ. And so, I’m just going to end with a prayer that the Father gave in this message. If you want to, you can close your eyes and unite your hearts to this prayer. So, the Father gives this prayer so that we can pray it to Him. Eternal Father, Grant us your light to see how you see through all deceit, curse and confusion. May your light cast out all darkness and allow us to see what you see. Grant us peace in the midst of the storm. May Your will be done in us. Strengthen us for the battle, and cast out of us all spirits of fear and pride. We are your army. We trust in You. Amen.
