St Joseph Protector of The Church and the 3rd Secret of Fatima


Historical Timelines Link
 St. Joseph and Vatican II
 Fatima  with May Day
 The Conversion of Russia




   St Joseph Protector of the Church
Named Patron of Workers on May Day 1955








Originally I wanted to prepare a simple post to honor St. Joseph who has been a great aide to me in my physical and spiritual trials. I already covered the significance of his appearing at Fatima during the Miracle of the Sun in a previous post. St. Joseph's Appearance at Fatima Announces A Crisis of Fatherhood in Society & Church!

However as Divine providence would have it in my search for a photo of St Joseph Patron of a Happy Death I came across the History of May Day and decided to share what I just learned for others who also may not be aware of the historical background of the event and how it was used as a propaganda tool by the communists. There are those who today are supporting the idea that May 1st to be commemorated for the Victims of Communism. I think St. Joseph patron of a Happy Death and of workers would not be offended to share the day the Church has given to him to honor these many martyrs some for God and church others for love of neighbor and country.
The following historical events analyzed in the light of the Fatima Message, in my opinion, link St Joseph's appearance at Fatima with the 3rd secret of Fatima.  Studying the Historical events in the unfolding of time  one can see that St Joseph's appearance at Fatima is also linked  by Divine Providence  to the Second Vatican Council and the cold war.





St. Joseph  was named Patron of the Universal Church  and protector of the the second Vatican Council in 1960. This event in the unfolding of providence  linked St. Joseph with the 2nd Vatican Council. Remember that Lucia was told that the 3rd secret was not to be opened until 1960 and we would understand why. Those living at the time did not make the correlations with Fatima and the council. The pope probably did as he read the secret and decided not to reveal it. It was within his right as Christs Vicar not wanting to give the enemies of the church reason to fulfill a prophecy. Those who detracted the pope for this are in error!  
  
In spite of my best intentions not to make this post a long involved post well here it is another long post that I hope will be beneficial to help us see the finger of God writing in the historical events that have taken place during and in the unfolding of providence after the apparitions of Fatima ended. Meditation on the historical events that have taken place during and after the apparitions have ceased have helped to confirm and sometimes add a new urgency to the messages given at Fatima that God wishes to convey to humanity.

Fatima and Communism 
           in Historical Context


 In the apparitions of our Lady over the years there exists a certain correlation between Marian apparitions and specific historical situations of the times. For example Lourdes and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. La Sallette and the approaching famine. Fatima and the World Wars. Knock, the Second Vatican Council and the Eucharist.  Our Lady the spouse of the Holy Spirit is sent to convey a message from the finger of God to help us see the writing on the wall.  Sometimes with words sometimes with symbols.

St. Joseph's appearance at Fatima during the miracle of the sun did not take place by happen stance! Just a sort of nice addition or after thought by God!  The holy trinity just talking amongst themselves and saying: "O well lets send St. Joseph to bless the world with Jesus." In previous posts we discussed that God does nothing without meaning.  There is a deep significance in each approved Marian apparition in its historical context but there is also a deeper hidden significance that can, need we say may only be uncovered in prayer and meditation.  God was indeed telling us something when he sent St. Joseph during the Miracle of the Sun


Over time the church with the help of the Holy Spirit reflects on these appearances of Our Lady and  discovers God’s finger writing once more.  They are not coincidences! God has a purpose in everything he does. A message to proclaim in the timing of the appearances as well as within the historical context. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be increased. Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand." Daniel 12:9-10


In the past while meditating on the appearances of Our Lady in the approved Marian Apparitions and placing them in the historical context of the time: From Guadelupe to Fatima A prophetic Mystery.  We learned that we must also meditate and reflect on the events surrounding the approved Marian apparitions in its historical context of the moment as well as in the unfolding of time.  There are often hidden meanings, in some instances that God wishes to be revealed at a later time, in the unfolding of human history.

These  may also convey dire warnings as  in the book of Daniel: "Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand in fear as it wrote:  " Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin. This is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians." Daniel 5:26-28

      A Brief History of May Day
A Historical Timeline 

Today for most there is an assumption that May Day began and is a holiday  celebrated only in communist countries like Cuba or the former Soviet Union. Most Americans don't realize that May Day for "workers" has its origins here in this country and it also stemmed from pre-Christian pagan rituals  with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries.

A maypole in Munich, Germany
Before May Day became a labor holiday it had been a traditional day of pagan festivities celebrating springtime fertility and revelry with early community gatherings. Seeding had been completed by this date and it was convenient to give farm labourers a day off. Perhaps the most significant of the traditions is the Maypole, around which traditional dancers circle with ribbons.  The maypoles were in some way a continuation of a Germanic pagan tradition. One theory holds that they were a remnant of the Germanic reverence for sacred trees, as there is evidence for various sacred trees and wooden pillars that were venerated by the pagans across much of Germanic Europe, including Thor's Oak and the Irminsul. Various Neopagan groups still celebrate reconstructed (to varying degrees) versions of these customs on May 1st.  As Europe became Christianized the pagan holidays lost their religious character and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May Day, or were merged with or replaced by new Christian holidays.

The modern labor protests 
on May Day began  in 
the United States in 1886

 The labor movement starting in the United States with fair treatment of workers and an 8 hour work day is a good end for families but the movement was later exploited by the communists throughout the world to meet their own political ends. 
This 1886 engraving shows beginning of the Riots
May Day in the United States began with and originally commemorated the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in 1886. Chicago police fired at workers who were striking to establish the eight hour work day. Many workers died in the event. The May Day labor movement spread to France



1889
July 14, The hundredth anniversary of the fall of the Bastille, leaders from organized revolutionary proletarian movements of many lands, assembled in Paris to form once more an international organization of workers, patterned after the one formed 25 years earlier by their great teacher, Karl Marx.  They heard from the American delegates about the struggle in America for the 8-hour day during 1884-1886. Inspired by the example of the American workers, the Paris Congress adopted the following resolution: "The Congress decides to organize a great international demonstration, so that in all countries and in all cities on one appointed day the toiling masses shall demand of the state authorities the legal reduction of the working day to eight hours, as well as the carrying out of other decisions of the Paris Congress."  Since a similar demonstration has already been decided upon for May 1, 1890, by the American Federation of Labor at its Convention in St. Louis, December, 1888, this day is accepted for the international demonstration. The workers of the various countries must organize this demonstration according to conditions prevailing in each country.

                May Day in Russia
 1900  
Lenin proceeds to write about the significance of May Day:  Lenin  wrote that May Day was a rallying point for "the irrepressible struggle for the political liberation of the Russian people," for "the class development of the proletariat and its open struggle for Socialism."  In a Weekly Worker of a generation Eugene V. Debs wrote in the May Day edition of the paper, published April 27, 1907: regarding May Day "This is the first and only International Labor Day. It belongs to the working class and is dedicated to the Revolution."

   


The Queen of May 
 Appears at Fatima
1917
Divine Providence sends the Queen of May to Fatima with her requests for World Peace: "If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse war will break out during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions against the Church and the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.

Our Lady spouse of the Holy Spirit is the Hand of God conveying a message to the world powers  and the kingdoms of our era. "Some I will cure others I will not. They must amend their lives and ask forgiveness for their sins." Looking very sad, Our Lady said: "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, because He is already so much offended." Fatima October 13,1917

---World War I ended with a German defeat.

"For the May Day,edition of the Weekly Worker, C. E. Ruthenberg wrote: "May Day – the day which inspires fear in the hearts of the capitalists and hope in the workers – the workers the world over – will find the Communist movement this year stronger in the U. S. than at any time in its history.... The road is clear for greater achievements, and in the United States as elsewhere in the world the future belongs to Communism. The world is nearer to Communism today. We are living in a more advanced period now. Capitalism has swung downward and is progressively moving in that direction. The sharpness of its own contradictions is making its ability to carry on more difficult.  In the Soviet Union the workers will review on May Day the phenomenal achievements of the building of Socialism. In the capitalist countries May Day will be as always a day of struggle for the immediate political demands of the working class, with the slogans of proletarian dictatorship and a Soviet Republic kept not far in the background."  Quote from The History of May Day

On June 17, 1689, Our Lord also told St. Margaret Mary to tell the Catholic King Louis XIV that France must be solemnly consecrated to His Sacred Heart. This command was ignored by the king and also by his heirs and descendants. As a result, France – first daughter of the Church – was not "triumphant over all the enemies of Holy Church" when France was besieged by the “enemies of the Church exactly one hundred years later, on June 17, 1789, the reigning Louis XVI was stripped of his kingly power and authority by the godless “Third Estate” of the French Revolution. Thus the Reign of Terror went into full motion. The king and his entire family (including children) were imprisoned and executed.

Promoting the Worker to sacrifice themselves for the state and its power.  Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1.  The pope held up to Catholics and other Christian believers the teachings relating to Joseph and the Holy Family. He frequently stressed the  patience, persistence, and hard work of St. Joseph as admirable qualities which Christians should adopt and follow.

The Secret of Fatima opened
by John XXIII and not revealed

St. Pope John XXIII


1959
August 17Pope John XXIII had the envelope  with the 3rd secret of Fatima  brought to him at Castelgandolfo. It was said that he did not immediately open the envelope but stated: "I am waiting to read it with my confessor." The secret was read a few days later, with Assistance in reading the Portuguese given by Monsignor Paulo Jose Tavarez of the Secretariat of State. Later John XXIII had it read by Cardinal Ottaviani, Prefect of the Holy Office.
Note: Towards the end we will discuss in more detail the controversy by the followers of Fr. Gruener chastising successive popes for not revealing the secret. If you look at the historical events of the day. The cold war heating up ect, the popes aware of the contents of the secret did not want to make it a self fulfilled prophecy so decided not to reveal its contents. They have the keys to the kingdom to bind and loose no one else!

1960
February 2, it was suddenly learned through a simple Portuguese press agency communique that the 3rd secret of Fatima would not be published, and that it probably never would be disclosed.  

The Cold War Heats UP! 


1961

July 25 HUMANAE VITAE (On The Regulation Of Birth). Pope Paul VI. Encyclical Letter Of His Holiness Pope Paul VI. The encyclical re-affirmed the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church regarding abortion, contraception, and other issues pertaining to human life. The encyclical has been controversial because of its prohibition of all forms of artificial contraception, and did not set will with the new cultural revolution taking place. Pope Paul VI did not issue any additional encyclicals in the remaining ten years of his pontificate.   Pope Benedict in 2008 stated that  Humanae Vitae Controversial & Crucial for Humanity's Future    
  
 Christian Europe becoming Muslim

Recent Catholic convert, Magdi Allam, recently asserted that it is relativism that has caused the growth of Islam in the West. Excerpts from (CNA).- "Magdi Allam, warned this week that Islam is growing as a result of the ideology of relativism that pervades the West and claims that there are many truths instead of one unique Truth. 

I believe relativism is a part of the problem but not the real cause. Catholics need to face the fact that Christian Europe is falling because Catholics disobeyed God and the Church by not following the teachings of Pope Paul VI in Humane Vitea.  Non westernized Muslims as a whole do not contracept and they do not abort their babies. 


The birthrate in western nations are dropping quickly well below the "replacement rate" — that is, an average of 2.1 children born to every woman. A recent demographic study shows 1.3 live births per woman in Catholic countries like Portugal and Spain where Muslims are making great in roads. The declining population created a need for an imported work force and Muslims are very happy to immigrate and fill in the gaps we have created by our disobedience to the church.    The Muslim population in Spain will grow by 82 percent by 2030 as the number of people converting to Islam has shown an increase over the past seven years, a new survey shows. See Video: Spain is becoming Muslim Country....Islamic Empire is returning!  



1970's Clown Masses
One would like to believe Masses like these are isolated incidents, but there is evidence that abuses like these (and other reprobated liturgical abuses) are quite common in the United States and abroad. How long is such nonsense to be tolerated? How many warnings from the Holy See condemning such actions need to be written, promulgated, and ignored, before more concrete action is taken? The abuses have to stop.  I believe we are being punished by God because of them. It is part of the reason we have not stemmed the tide with abortion Read more....

1972, June 29

    Smoke of Satan entered Church!

Paul VI  asserts that he has the feeling that “from some fissure the smoke of Satan has entered into the temple of God” (da qualche fessura sia entrato il fumo di Satana nel tempio di Dio (Insegnamenti [1972], 707).


Ven. Paul VI Fatima, 1967
1972, June 29  Pope Paul VI in his homily given on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul made a famous remark about the “smoke of Satan” entering into the temple of God. The full text of the homily was not reproduced in the Vatican collection of Paul VI’s teachings (Insegnamenti di Paulo VI Vol. X, 1972). Instead, a summary of the homily was given. 
Within the summary, however, there are some direct quotes from the Pontiff. Two of these are memorable for their references to Satan and the preternatural.

This state of uncertainty even holds sway in the Church.  There was the belief that after the Council there would be a day of sunshine for the history of the Church.  Instead, it is the arrival of a day of clouds, of tempest, of darkness, of research, of uncertainty.  We preach ecumenism but we constantly separate ourselves from others.  We seek to dig abysses instead of filling them in.  How has this come about?  The Pope entrusts one of his thoughts to those who are present:  that there has been an intervention of an adverse power.  Its name is the devil, this mysterious being that the Letter of St. Peter also alludes to.  So many times, furthermore, in the Gospel, on the lips of Christ himself, the mention of this enemy of men returns


Later, Paul VI is also quoted as saying:We believe … that something preternatural has come into the world specifically to disturb, to suffocate the fruits of the Ecumenical Council, and to prevent the Church from breaking out in a hymn of joy for having recovered in fullness the awareness of herself (Crediamo … in qualcosa di preternaturale venunto nel mondo proprio per turbare, per soffocare i frutti del Concilio Ecumenico, e per impedire che la Chiesa prorompesse nell’inno della gioia di aver riavuto in pienezza la coscienza di sé (Insegnamenti [1972], 708).  Read more:

1980's Eucharistic Reforms begin but not followed just like Humane Vitea was not followed by the bishops and the people in 1968. 

April 17,  Inaestimabile Donum  Instruction Concerning Worship of the In 1916 the Angel of Portugal came to Fatima and taught the Children how to make reparation for sacrileges against the Eucharist. This was not taking place in 1916 it has started to take place since Paul VI said the Smoke of Satan entered the church! It's time to stop the wave of liturgicalEucharistic Mystery Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship Approved and Confirmed by Bl. Pope John Paul II.





 Fatima Begins & Ends with the Eucharist

Adoration and Reparation
In 1916 the Angel of Portugal came to Fatima and taught the Children how to make reparation for sacrileges against the Eucharist. This was not taking place in 1916 it has started to take place since Paul VI said the Smoke of Satan entered the church! It's time to stop the wave of liturgical experimentation and liturgical abuse that has overtaken the Catholic Church in many parts of the world. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass needs to be celebrated with reverence and dignity. Clown Masses and Halloween Masses (with Barney Blessings) demonstrate an appalling ignorance as to what really and truly takes place during Holy Mass: The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.  

In 244 Origen taught: "Reverence should be given to the smallest particle of the host.  I admonish you as you take part in the Divine Mysteries, when you have received the Body of the Lord; you exercise every care lest a particle fall and any of the consecrated gift perish. You are guilty, and rightly so, if any of it be lost through negligence.” 
 
I have come across extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist who are not properly trained for their commission by their bishops or pastors.   

They were never taught to purify their pyx so consecrated particles remain and our Lord is carried to unspeakable places even into the rest room. I have witnessed priests breaking the extra large hosts while held over their heads. Consecrated particles falling into their hair on their shoulders, the altar and the ground only to be trampled on by the Eucharistic ministers who approach the altar. 


It is my belief that the church and the world are suffering because of how we treat the Blessed Sacrament. Is is also a central part of the Fatima message. It is how the message began in 1916 with the apparition of the Angel.  If we do not correct the abuses we will like Sr Lucia said bring the punishment upon ourselves. 


"Since we did not heed this appeal of the Message, we see that it has been fulfilled, Russia has invaded the world with her errors. And if we have not yet seen the complete fulfillment of the final part of this prophecy, we are going towards it little by little with great strides. If we do not reject the path of sin, hatred, revenge, injustice, violations of the rights of the human person, immorality and violence, etc.-And let us not say that it is God who is punishing us in this way; on the contrary it is people themselves who are preparing their own punishment. In his kindness God warns us and calls us to the right path, while respecting the freedom he has given us; hence people are responsible”. Sister Lucia 1982


Lord I beg you remove the blindness from our eyes so that we can see the abyss we are descending into before it is too late. The events of 9/11 and the world wide financial melt down are all warnings. Bishops and priests instruct your extraordinary ministers and choose them well! Listen to our Lady and make reparation for these sacrileges!

Historical Events
Leading to Dissolution
of the Soviet Union

Pope Pius XII and the popes after him in subsequent years consecrated and reconsecrated the world and later Russia but never in union with all the Bishops of the world. Our Lord stipulated this condition so the world would know that this grace came from the Immaculate Heart of his Mother. Even the pope has to be exactly obedient to a higher authority when it is requested by God.

On May 13 1981 
Pope John Paul II is shot in St. Peters Square on May 13. During the long months of suffering and recuperation in Gemelli Hospital, the Holy Father requests and studies more deeply documents relating to Fatima. His determination to consecrate Russia with bishops of the world grows stronger. In leaving the clinic he remarks: I have come to understand that the only way to save the world from war, to save it from atheism, is the conversion of Russia according to the message of Fatima.

May 13, 1982 
Pope John Paul II invites the bishops of the world to join him in consecrating the world and with it Russia to the Immaculate Heart. Many Bishops do not receive the invitation in time for the Pope's trip to Fatima, where he accomplishes the consecration. Sr. Lucia later says it did not fulfill the conditions.

October, 1983 
Pope John Paul II, at the Synod of Bishops, renews the 1982 Consecration. This also did not fulfill the conditions as many bishops were not present and were not asked.

Collegial Consecration in Rome
March 25, 1984 
Finally Pope John Paul II, has the statue of Our Lady in the little chapel brought to Rome and in advance sends invitations to every bishop to join him on this date "united with all the pastors of the Church in a particular bond whereby we constitute a body and a college, "consecrates" the whole world, especially the peoples for which by reason of their situation you have particular love and solicitude." shortly after events began to take place that led to the rapid dissolution of the former Soviet Union.

Note:  This was also 100 years after the Vision of Pope Leo XIII  
on October 13, 1884.  Pope Leo XII had a locution hearing Satan and Jesus conversing. Satan boasted to Jesus he would destroy his Church and was granted 100 years to try and destroy God’s Church. It was after this that the pope composed the prayer to St. Michael, which was prayed after each Mass at the foot of the altar.

December 30, 1991
Sister Lucia is reported saying that the defeat of Communism was through Marys intercession.


Russia was converted
from Communism to relative
Freedom of Religion.

Its conversion is ongoing and free. God respects the free will of men. They have freedom to convert or reject the faith. Our Lady never said that Russia would be converted to Catholicism. She said, simply, that it would be converted and a period of peace would be given to the world. If you examine the Historical Events that took place leading to the final dissolution of the Union of Soviet Union It would be impossible for you not to see that God’s hands were involved in the dismantling of the Soviet Union. Beginning on May 13, 1984 just two months after the pope made the consecration in Rome, an explosion took place at the naval base in Russia! God is speaking in providence!


Those who follow Fr. Gruner still argue that Russia was, not converted and the consecration was never made. These people are misleading many from the truth and into disobedience and possible loss of their Catholic faith to disobey legitimate church authority.  They also Argue that the popes were wrong in not revealing the 3rd secret in 1960.

October 11,1992  in an interview that  took place between Sr Lucia and Anthony Cardinal Padiyara of India, Bishop Francis Michaelappa of India, and Fr Francisco Pacheco of Fort Ceara, Brazil. Sr Lucia was asked by Cardinal Padiyara,
"Do God and Our Lady still want the Church to reveal the Third Secret?" Sr Lucia answered, "The Third Secret is not intended to be revealed. It was only intended for the Pope and immediate Church hierarchy. Our Lady never said that it was to be revealed to the public by 1960 at the latest. The Secret was for the Pope."
In Conclusion the Church has suspended Fr. Nicholas from his priestly faculties and is unable to offer Masses at Fatima. As far as I am aware this suspension has not been revoked. In following the Fátima message one must choose between Fr. Gruner’s example of disobedience to legitimate ecclesiastical authority, or Sr. Lucia’s heroic example of obedience to the Church during a difficult time in Church history.

I would like to conclude what I only started out to do to  invoke St Joseph the model worker who God sent to Fatima during the Miracle of the Sun The church invokes  also you as the Terror of Demons, and her Protector. I also invoke you as the Patron of a Happy Death for all of us when we end the work God has given us in this life. 



O Blessed St Joseph, you were blessed to yield your last breath in the fond embrace of Jesus and Mary. When the seal of death shall close my career and end the work God has given me in this life to do. Please come holy father, with Jesus and Mary to assist me in that hour. Obtain for me this only solace which I ask for, to die like you encircled in their holy arms. Into your sacred hands living and dying, Jesus, Mary and Joseph I commend my soul. Amen
