AN ACT OF MERCY FOR THOSE DYING ALONE FROM COVID-19 St. Jacinta of Fatima also died all alone in a pandemic

Sts. Jacinta and Francisco died in the 1918 Pandemic

Did you know  Sts. Jacinta  and Francisco died in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that swept through Europe. In October 1918, Jacinta told Lucia that Our Lady had appeared to her and promised to take Francisco  and her to heaven soon. Both lingered for many months, insisting on walking to church to make Eucharistic devotions and prostrating themselves to pray for hours kneeling with their heads on the ground as they said the prayer that the angel had instructed them to do.

Francisco declined hospital treatment on April 3, 1919, he died at home the next day. 
After the death of Francisco Jacinta told Lucia that our Lady came to her and asked her if she wanted to convert more poor dinners. She said yes she did. Our Lady said she would be going to a hospital in Lisbon soon where she would suffer very much and die all alone. This thought resonated in her loving heart the fact that once she left home she would never see her parents or Lucia again. This she said is what hurt her the most.

In an attempt to save her life, which she insisted was futile, Jacinta was moved to Ourém Hospital; her condition steadily worsened and, in a successful attempt to transfer her to the children's hospital in Lisbon, Queen Stephanie's Hospital  she was moved first to the care of the small Orphanage of Our Lady of Miracles, in the Lisbon neighborhood of Estrela. She developed purulent pleurisy  and endured an operation in which two of her ribs were removed. Because of the condition of her heart, she could not be fully anesthetized, and suffered terrible pain, which she said would help to convert many sinners. 

ST. JACINTA OF FATIMA ALSO DIED ALL ALONE 
100 YEARS AGO IN THE LAST PANDEMIC

On February 19, 1920, Jacinta asked the hospital chaplain who heard her confession to bring her Holy Communion and administer Extreme Unction because she was going to die "the next night". He told her that her condition was not that serious and that he would return the next day. The next day Jacinta was dead; she had died, as she had often said she would, all alone.

I aways thought Heaven was harsh on our young victim soul. She was a mere babe nine years old. To suffer the physical pains as she did and then to die without the consoling presence of her family could be viewed by some as heartless. Similar to what God asked of Abraham in sacrificing his son. Why did Jacinta have to die alone without her family and the  last sacrament Viaticum?

ANOTHER PROPHETIC SIGN

One hundred years later in the unfolding of Divine Providence the reasons are more clear. St. Jacinta was also chosen to suffer for our time along with Bl. Mother Mariana of Ecuador Mystic and stigmatist (1594-1634) and Marie Julie Jaheney Breton mystic and stigmatist. (1850-1941). Each of these apparitions had a common thread. The evils of atheistic communism. The advance of secret societies such as the Masons and the ultimate Triumph of the Church through the Immaculate Heart of Mary where a time of peace will be given  to mankind.

Our Lady foresaw this pandemic and  warning for the people of our erea and asked if Jacinta was willing to die alone without the consolations offered by her family and the Church. In today's current pandemic scientists understand the ferocious capabilites of the transmissions of this  virus and to protect others  we have to isolate the sick. During the 1918 Flu pandemic that claimed the lives of Jacinta and Francisco this knowledge was not well understood.

Having said all of this I think it is very important that we look once again at the Fatima Message in historical context. Meditating in the light of past approved apoaritins of our Lady. Our Lady of Good Success Message for our time! 1594-1634

BENEDICT XVI AT FATIMA 

Celebrating Mass at Fatima, on May 13th 2010 Pope Benedict XVI said the prophetic mission of Mary's apparitions there has not ended and has special relevance for a world still caught in a "cycle of death and terror." Benedict XVI continued: "We would be mistaken to think that Fatima's prophetic mission is complete. From the earliest times humanity has succeeded in unleashing a cycle of death

and terror, but failed in bringing it to an end. Fatima's message and mission are not over because the need for penance and conversion in the world continues" -Benedict XVI , May 13, 2010 at Fatima

https://www.catholicnews.com/services/englishnews/2010/at-fatima-pope-says-mary-s-message-still-important-for-humanity.cfm

Let us meditate on the importance  on the prophetic messages of Fatima place and meditate on them in light of all the approved Apparitions in the unfolding of Divine Providence. From Our Lady if Good Success to Akita a prophetic Mystery is unfolding.

The sick of today should be encouraged by the brave witness of St. Jacinta and call upon her intercession for a cure or the acceptance of God's will for a happy death using the generous indulgences offered by the church for the salvation of the dying who are dying alone and without the consolation of the last sacraments of the church. The church has not abandoned you in union with  the communion of saints you will be assisted if you accept in faith and sorrow for your sins God's will. Following the lead of St. Jacinta who prayed and suffered for all of us poor sinners.

NO ONE DIES ALONE PROJECT
An Act of Mercy for the dying 
from Fr. Philip a priest from Ireland

In the meantime a priest from Ireland has spearheaded a WORK OF MERCY FOR THE DYING AND IS INVITING all to perform an acts of mercy for the dying around the world... those who are dying and have no one be with and pray for them in their last agony.

 “No One dies alone Project”  inspired by Fr. Philip a priest from Ireland. Read more below.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/priest-calls-for-spiritual-adoption-of-victims-dying-alone-from-coronavirus                                               

Everyone in the Catholic World should consider performing

this act of mercy for the countless souls dying each day from COVID-19. It could be one of us or a member of ourfamily who are at hospital and we cannot be present to help them or they for us.

I hope all of you will consider adopting this daily spiritual act of Mercy for the dying during the course of this pandemic. Fr Philip said:

"If families were to pray the Chaplet of Mercy togethor then several dying persons would be spiritually adopted with the one prayer of the Chaplet. Praying the Chaplet for the dying, we will petition Jesus to enfold them in his Merciful Love in their final hours and grant them a strong experience of his consoling presence before they take their leave of this world. -Fr. Philip

No One Dies Alone Project

Earlier this evening I was reading a news report on the SkyNews website which, quoting a doctor in a hospital in Italy, had the headline: “Everyone Dies Alone”.  It was a very sobering and tragically sad report, describing how, because they have to be isolated, those suffering and slowly dying from Covid19 meet their end without the comfort and consolation of their relatives and loved ones.  

https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-everyone-dies-alone-heartbreak-at-the-italian-hospital-on-the-brink-of-collapse-11961130

The medical staff do what they can, but they are overwhelmed by the task that lies before them. When I read that headline, immediately I was stirred to begin this little project.

Inspired by a scene in the Diary of St. Faustina, where she was spiritually transported by the Lord in order to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at the bedside of a dying man she did not know, I would like to suggest that we would each commit to praying the 

Divine Mercy Chaplet each day for the days ahead to spiritually place ourselves beside one of the poor unfortunate men and women who are dying alone in hospitals all over the world because of this virus, some of whom are perhaps not well prepared spiritually for their earthly end.

If families were to pray it then several dying persons would be spiritually adopted with the one prayer of the Chaplet.

Praying the Chaplet for the dying, we will petition Jesus to enfold them in his Merciful Love in their final hours and grant them a strong experience of his consoling presence before they take their leave of this life.  This would be a great act of mercy and love for those who are victims of this virus and who are approaching their end.

Please consider taking part in this project.  There is no need to sign up to anything.  It is a simple movement which, please God, will bear enormous fruit for the souls for whom we pray. I would appreciate it if you were to pass this on to others you know who might be willing to take up this spiritual work of mercy.  In the final weeks of Lent it would be a good spiritual practice to incorporate into our prayer routine.  Below you will find the link to the Sky News Report      

Yours in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Philip

In 1920, shortly before her death at age nine, St. Jacinta Marto reportedly discussed the Alliance of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary put with a then 12-year-old Lúcia dos Santos and said:

"When you are able to say this, (tell the secret) don't go and hide. Tell everybody that God grants us graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary; that people are to ask her for them; and that the Heart of Jesus wants the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be venerated at his side. Tell them also to pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for peace, since God entrusted the pesce of the world to her."

Let us humbly turn to to Our Lady and Sts. Jacinta and Francisco imploring their intercession for the dying and a cure for the Corona Virus.

I think its important tthat we place the Fatima Message and meditate on the messsge in light of  approved prophetic messages of the Church. The ones mentioned as well as Guadalupe. LaSalette, Knock, Akita.  The devils are trying to drown the authentic realties of the approved Marian apparitions by raising up dissenting voices that work outside the authority of the church promoting their own agendas. They offer alternate realities even using new apparitions that do not have full church approval. Fatima has been buried as no longer relevant because of these newest apparitions that do not carry full church approvals. The Fatima Message is ignored

"People will tell you  Look. There He is or He is here. Do not go out or chase after them." Matthew: 24: 23

STAY WITH THE CHURCH AND THE MAGISTERIUM.

Pray to Our Lady for United States! Shutdown isn't just the Wall! Abortion is advancing. See what Liberal media isn't telling you!

Pledge to say Daily Prayers 

for Our Lady's Intercession!

Things are bad, real bad in our country. The soul of America is at stake. Please ask everyone to pray two Memorares daily. The first for President Trump he needs God's help to fight the forces of evil that are holding the nation hostage. 


The second Memorare for Congress to have a change of heart and to work for the good of the country not for the One world activists. Then if your real generous add a third for the Supreme Court. They are responsible for the mess we are in today. 

Here is What the Liberal Media 

is Keeping from You!

The Government shut down and the circus over the "Border Wall" is front and center in media reporting. However the whole circus in Washington including the current shutdown is really about ABORTION. While the media reports all aspects of the Government Shutdown the radical left is quickly pushing  forward to undo the pro life advances made by President Trump. Since that time in the states where Democrats have the majority. The culture of death has made ferocious advances. 

Please read the headline links provided below. You will see that the whole Government stranglehold in  the nation is really not over a Border Wall. It is really about abortion. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-celebrates-legalizing-abortion-until-birth-as-catholic-bishops-question-cuomos-faith

Nancy Pelosi took the gavel as Speaker for the 116th Congress, and her priority agenda to dismantle the pro-life policies of the Trump Administration take center stage.  Nancy Pelosi’s first act as Speaker of the house was to pass legislation to force Americans to fund abortions. Democrats never miss a chance to promote abortion. And House Democrats, under incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi, slipped language to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business into their bill to end the partial government shutdown. Democrats want to restore the $100 million President Donald Trump took away from Planned Parenthood when he defended its International arm during his first week in office. The Trump policy prohibits taxpayer funding to international groups that promote and/or provide abortions overseas. 

Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Alexandria was interviewed by CNN before she became house speaker when she was asked about her mother's leadership style she didn't mince words: "She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding, That’s all you need to know about her.”  She continued; “No one ever won betting against Nancy Pelosi. You gotta give her credit. No matter what you think about her, you have to give her credit because, think about it, think about all of those presidents she’s endured. The Bush, the Bush, the Clinton—she’s been through it all.”

The president is made the bad guy by Pelosi and the liberal media outlets who support her anti-life agenda. The president just  wants common sense border security. G.K Chesterton said "A sign that a society is in decay or decline is when common sense becomes uncommon"  Democrats are lying about the border situation. Sticking their heels in the mud  over his alleged improprieties while remaining silent about the catastrophic advances the pro abortion groups have made since Nancy Pelosi has taken over as Speaker of the House. Is anyone surprised? You shouldn't be. It wouldn't be so bad if the media at least reported both sides with an objective presentation but they ignore news that they disagree with, March for Life, or slant news even with lies (Covington Teens at March for Life), in orde to promote their own liberal culture of death views.  Think about it, the communist countries do the same?

Life site News is reporting that Nancy Pelosi is to attempting to force Americans to pay for abortions and to funnel taxpayer dollars to the nation’s biggest abortion business. She wants Americans to be forced to fund Planned Parenthood and its International group’s efforts to promote and perform abortions in other countries. https://www.lifenews.com/2019/01/03/nancy-pelosis-first-act-as-speaker-of-the-house-forcing-americans-to-fund-abortions

    Diabolical Disorientation!

Then another slap in the face to pro-lifers on January 22nd,Anniversary of Roe v Wade New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill a few hours after the state Senate and Assembly passed it. The bill he signed Legalized Abortions Up to Birth for basically any reason in New York state, Rochester City Newspaper reports.

Cuomo also gave Sarah Weddington, the attorney in the Roe v. Wade case, a special seat next to him on Tuesday evening, as abortion activists around them cheered, the AP reports.

https://www.lifenews.com/2019/01/23/new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-signs-bill-legalizing-abortions-up-to-birth/ Cuomo also made comments that he hoped other states would quickly follow suite with similar legislation in case the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade. 

SIGN THE PETITION: Excommunicate Andrew Cuomo for Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth

One World Trade Center Glowed in Pink Lights to Celebrate 

To celebrate the passage of the bill by the New York state legislature that legalized abortion through the ninth month of pregnancy the World Trade Center was lit up with pink lights. The bill also rolled back protections for babies born alive after a botched abortions. “The Reproductive Health Act is a historic victory for New Yorkers and for our progressive values,” Cuomo said after the bill’s passage. “In the face of a federal government intent on rolling back Roe v. Wade and women’s reproductive rights, I promised that we would enact this critical legislation within the first 30 days of the new session – and we got it done. I am directing that New York’s landmarks be lit in pink to celebrate this achievement and shine a bright light forward for the rest of the nation to follow.”https://www.lifenews.com/2019/01/23/one-world-trade-center-lit-up-pink-to-celebrate-new-york-passing-bill-legalizing-abortions-up-to-birth/

     "Prayer Warriors Needed!"

A temporary deal was just made to get the Government open for 3 weeks while they negotiate a final budget and the status of the wall. We are not out of the woods! We need committed "Prayer Warriors!" to pray for Our President and Congress throughout his term and into the next election so the demonic anti-life forces will be expelled and we do not become a Communist Nation. "We are fighting against Principalities and Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

We need a Divine Intervention. We need  Our Lady's Help. Heaven will not help us if we do not pray!  Ask our Lady She is the Patroness of the United States.  We will succumb to our very powerful enemies who are waiting to destroy us if we do not humble ourselves in prayer.

  May God  have Mercy on America! 

"O Mary Conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. And for all those who do not have recourse to thee especially the enemies of the church, the free Masons, and for all those who we recommend unto (President Trump, Congress and Supreme Court)"

America Science testifies that the unborn child is  a member of the human family yet you legislate their murder. If it is not stopped laws will soon be enforced requiring Health Care Workers to murder the sick and the elderly as well. These various anti-life bills will ultimately lead to the suppression of pro-lifers’ freedom of speech and conscience as well. Doctors and nurses who refuse to help abort unborn babies could lose their jobs, and pro-life advocates could be persecuted for just speaking out for life.

Wake up America and pray!

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly into the O Virgin of Virgins my Mother. To you do I come. Before you do I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate despise not my petitions for our ( President /Congress / or Supreme Court) but in your mercy hear and answer them.  Our Lady of Fatima, Intercede for us. Virgin most powerful, pray for us!

🙏Oremus, Let us pray!🙏

Fatima Apparitions in August---"I say to you: unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3

Fr. John DeMarchi

The most widely cited descriptions of the events reported at Fatima are taken from the writings of Fr. John John De Marchi, an Italian Catholic priest and researcher.  Fr. De Marchi spent seven years in Fátima, from 1943 to 1950, conducting original research and interviewing the principals at undisturbed length. He later helped build the Consolata Seminary in Fatima and his last years were devoted to meeting pilgrims that he met from all over the world during his years he spent in his mission work for Ethopia.

He wrote many books on Fatima most notable The True Story of Fatima.

 The Following details on the apparition of Our Lady at Vihinos on August 19th are taken from his writings and the Memoirs of Sr. Lucia; Fatima in Lucia's own Words

The Apparitions of Our Lady 

at Fatima in August

The 13th day of August had dawned and everyone  wanted to see and question the children, to recommend their petitions to them, so that we could transmit them to the most Holy Virgin… In the midst of all this commotion, an order came from the Administrator, telling them to go to their aunt's house, where the administrator  was waiting… When they arrived, he interrogated them there,wand made fresh attempts to force them to reveal the secret and to promise that we would not go back to the Cova da Iria… Finally in desperation he had the children arrested and taken to jail.  

Meanwhile, in the Cova at noon on the 13th the characteristic external signs of the Apparition appeared for the benefit of the crowd, the greatest crowd to that time. After they ceased the crowd dispersed, as yet unaware of the trickery of the government taking the children.

While in prison, Jacinta wept bitterly, for she was so homesick for her mother and all the family. Francisco tried to cheer her saying, "Even if we never see our mother again, let's be patient! We can offer it for the conversion of sinners. The worst thing would be if Our Lady never came back again! That is what hurts me most. But I offer this as well for sinners…" The children where once again heroic in their convictions not to betray the secrets that were given to them by the Lady.  The administrator tried bribes, threats of death and locking them in a cell with other "criminals" in order to get them to recant their story. It was to no avail. Despite their ages, their belief in the Lady and their courage was unshakeable.

Their cell mates visibly moved at the childrens plight offered to pray the rosary with them as the pinned a medal of Our Lady to the prison wall.

The children were returned to the doorsteps of the parish rectory on the 15th of August. On Sunday the 19th of August. They were with the sheep in a place called Valinhos. It  was located on the side of the same hillock opposite Aljustrel where the angel  had appeared twice to them in 1916.  Valinhos was  a little farther north and closer to thier home. Around 4pm they felt something supernatural approaching them in the breeze that enveloped them. Moments later, they saw Our Lady.

The Shrine built where Our Lady appeared August 19th.

"What do you want of me?" Lucia asked again

"I want you to continue going to the Cova da Iria on the 13th, and to continue praying the Rosary every day. In the last month, I will perform a miracle so that all may believe."

"What do you want done with the money that the people leave in the Cova da Iria?"

I want you to have two ardors [litters to carry statues] made, for the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. I want you and Jacinta to carry one of them with two other girls. You will both dress in white. And then I want Francisco, with three boys helping him, to carry the other one. The boys, too, will be dressed in white. What is left over will help towards the construction of a chapel that is to be built"

I would like to ask you to cure some sick persons," Lucia continued.

Some I will cure during the year." our Lady replied

Then, looking very sad, she  Lady said: "Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to Hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and to pray for them."

Having said that she departed as she had on the other occasions rising slowly towards the East.

  
 SACRIFICE YOURSELVES 
FOR SINNERS

YOU HAVE SEEN HELL 

WHERE THE SOULS OF POOR SINNERS GO  

"Sacrifice for sinners and repeat many times, especially when you make a sacrifice: O my Jesus, this is out of love for you, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary!"  

© Original Drawing for Speramus-We Hope

The vision of hell in July by now had thoroughly absorbed the children with  Mary's plea for prayer and penance. They did everything they could to answer it. They prayed for hours while lying prostrate on the ground and went as long as they could without drinking, in the burning heat of the Portuguese summer. They also went without food, as a sacrifice for sinners, to save them from hell, the vision of which had so profoundly effected them. They even knotted some pieces of old rope around their waists as a form of mortification, not removing them day or night. 

In September Our Lady had to tell them that God did not want them to wear the rope at night.The rope was worn around the waist and It was one of the most painful mortifications the children offered for the conversion of sinners. Also, they did not eat snacks and abstained from drinking water. But the greatest sacrifices were the sacrifices the mission of Our Lady demanded: the humiliations, curiosity, annoyance of the people, unending visits, questions, persecutions, ridicule, and even prison. 

Photo taken after the July apparition the Children had seen a vision of Hell!

May these Blessed Children from Heaven intercede for us who have  sinned  much to obtain for us a part of their spirit of penance. Our eternity depends on it!  " I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish."   Luke 13:3

Francisco the Contemplative

 

 The Apparition at Valinhos was a  joy for Francisco. He had been tormented by the fear that she would never return because they missed their appointed time with Our Lady on the 13th. Lucia said in her writings that Francisco told her: "Most likely, she, (Our Lady) didn't appear on the 13th, so as to avoid going to the Administrator's house, maybe because he is such a bad man."

                                                                                                              

PUBLIC PENANCE PROJECT

+

A PUBLIC PENANCE PROJECT

On Pentecost Sunday I posted another Post on the need to make reparation for the Sacriliges occuring daily against the Blessed Sacrament. Describing them in more detail and linking them in providence to the Fatima Message and the call to Eucharistic Reparation.  The post was up for only 3 days and during that time I made a few minor corrections and then I lost a large portion of the post into cyberspace. My notes and extra copies that Blogger sends to your e-mail inbox also disappeared. All I had left were the tweets on twitter that highlighted the topics.  I was very discouraged because I am not an accomplished writer and the whole post for me was quite a feat to be able to put what was in my heart in writing and hope that people in authority who could make changes would read it and take action to make necessary corrections.

I surmised I made the devil mad swallowed my pride and tried to remind myself that God is very capable of using other better means to accomplish his will. I spent some time offering it up knowing I will never be able to replace it in its original format. But my faith said that God can use my Acceptance however imperfect to bring about a greater good than my words will ever be able to do.

Fatima Sacrifice Prayer

So I prayed the Fatima Sacrifice Prayer taught by the Angel to the children however hard and bitter it felt in my heart and on my lips: "O my Jesus it is for Love of you in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners!" Now it took Faith and Hope that God will bring good out of my poor efforts and my apparent failures.

A Necessary Work

Public Atonement

The following days I came across the following post and this also is a good work, an important work a necessary work. A call to make public atonement for the sins of some of the members of the church in order to appease the justice of God for the failures of some of the members of the church.

We Hold Our Future in our Hands
We will accept and do penance or
God will do it for us!

They agree with the message of Fatima that we hold our future in our hands. It is up to us what happens. If we follow the simple requests of Our Lady do penance and pray we shall save our souls and others. If we do not, I believe we are headed towards the a divine chastisement and annihilation of nations. These are prophesied in symbols during the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima. The people at that time thought it was the end of the world and begged pardon for their sins. The chastisement will come in order to purify us for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the new spring time in the church that John Paul II saw. We will accept and do penance or God will do it for us! Is it possible that our inability to Cap Gulf Oil haemorrhage and another future world economic collapse is part of the beginnings of these cleansings. Men do not need God until they are on their knees. 

The Following Articles Merit Consideration

First Catholic News Service CNS published an article below on a special period of Eucharistic adoration to be held at the Vatican in reparation for the abuse scandals and for the healing of this wound within the church.

Then ALWAYS Catholic Blog started a Public Penance project also below.

This is what Our Lady of Fatima would want. This is also the root of the Eucharistic Sacriligies occuring daily today. Infiltration of our seminaries by unfaithful priests many ordained who did not have a vocation. Others attacked  after wards by the evil spirit who has a greater power over souls today who give themselves to him by mortal sin. See the vision of Pope Leo XIII and the inclusion of the St. Michael Prayer after Low Mass

Locution of  Pope Leo XIII

Different versions but all agree that the Pope after appearing in shock  and shaken up said that he suddenly heard voices- one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation: The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroy your Church." The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so." Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power." Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?" Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service." Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will."



      

          Eucharistic Adoration at Vatican

              In Reparation for Abuse

CNS Post May 27, 2010 by John Thavis

(CNS photo/Michael Alexander, Georgia Bulletin)

VATICAN CITY- The Vatican is hosting two hours of eucharistic adoration “in reparation for abuses committed by priests and for the healing of this wound within the church

The service in St. Peter’s Basilica this Saturday will feature an hour of silent adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, an hour of prayer and meditation, and a solemn blessing at the end.

The unusual initiative was organized by Catholic university students in Rome. Sources said the event was originally planned for the small Church of St. Anne inside Vatican City, but that it was moved to St. Peter’s at the suggestion of Cardinal Angelo Comastri, who is archpriest of the basilica.

So far, however, the Vatican has not publicized the event. Invitations have been forwarded by email and spread by word-of-mouth.

The hour of prayer and meditation will be led by Msgr. Charles Scicluna, an official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith who deals directly with cases of priests accused of abuse of minors.

Msgr. Scicluna's Address
Prayer Service for Priests

"The Child Image of Innocence"

VATICAN CITY, MAY 30, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of the meditation delivered Saturday by Msgr. Charles Scicluna, promoter of justice for the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, during a morning of adoration of the Most Blessed sacrament to pray for the sanctification of priests at St. Peter's Basilica in
Rome.

Do not be an obstacle in their way to me!
Do not Hinder their Spiritual Progress!
Do not let them be Seduced by Evil!

Accepting the kingdom of God like a child is to accept with a pure heart, with docility, abandonment, confidence, enthusiasm, and hope. All this reminds us of the child. All this makes the child precious in God's eyes, and in the eyes of a true disciple of JesusInstead, how barren and sad the world becomes when this beautiful image, when this holy icon is crushed, broken, muddied, abused and destroyed. The deep cry that comes from the heart of Jesus echoes: "Let the children come to me and do not hinder them" (Mark 10:14). Do not be an obstacle in their way toward me, do not hinder their spiritual progress, do not let them be seduced by evil, do not make children the subject of your impure greed.

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea" (Mark 9:42).

After having taken a Profession of Holiness, Anyone who Destroys others through Words or Deed would have been better off if their Misdeeds had caused them to Die in Secular Dress!
                                                                   +
Gregory the Great says this about those severe words of Jesus: "Mystically expressed in the millstone is the hard and tedious rhythm of secular life, while the deep sea signifies the most terrible curse. Thus, After having taken a profession of holiness, anyone who destroys others through words or deed would have been better off if their misdeeds had caused them to die in secular dress, rather than, through their holy office, being imposed as an example for others in their sins. Without a doubt, if they had fallen all by themselves, their suffering in Hell would be easier to bear. "

But the Lord, who does not enjoy the loss of his servants and does not want eternal death for his creatures, immediately adds a remedy for condemnation, a drug for the disease, relief from the danger of eternal damnation. His are the strong words of the Divine surgeon that cuts to heal, amputates to cure, prunes so the vine bears much fruit: And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off" (Mark 9:43). "And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off" (Mark 9:45). "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out" (Mark 9:47).

Several Holy Fathers interpret "the hand," "the foot," and "the eye" as a friend dear to our heart with which we share our life, to whom we are bound by ties of affection, harmony and solidarity. There is a limit to this relationship. Christian friendship submits to the law of God. If my friend, my companion, a person dear to me is for me an occasion of sin, a stumbling block for me in journey, I have no other choice. According to the criterion of the Lord, this relationship must be cut. Who would deny the agony of such a choice? Is this a cruel amputation? Yet the Lord is clear: It is better for me to go alone in the Kingdom (without a hand, without a foot, without an eye), than to go with my friend "into hell, into unquenchable fire" (Mark 9:43; cf. Mark 9: 45,47). ....
            

      'Whoever is near me, is near the Fire'

"A Father of the Church, Origen, in one of his homilies on Jeremiah, reports a saying attributed to Jesus, not contained in the sacred Scriptures but perhaps authentic, which he puts thus: 'Whoever is near me, is near the fire' (Homilies on Jeremiah, L. I [III]). In Christ, in fact, there is the fullness of God, who in the Bible is compared to fire. We just observed that the flame of the Holy Spirit burns but does not destroy. And nevertheless it causes a transformation, and it must for this reason consume something in man, the waste that corrupts him and hinders his relations with God and neighbor.
 
  This effect of the Divine Fire, Frightens Us

"This effect of the divine fire, however, frightens us, we are afraid of being 'burned,' we prefer to stay just as we are. This is because our life is often formed according to the logic of having, of possessing and not the logic of self-giving. Many people believe in God and admire the person of Jesus Christ, but when they are asked to lose something of themselves, then they retreat, they are afraid of the demands of faith. There is the fear of giving up something nice to which we are attached; the fear that following Christ deprives us of freedom, of certain experiences, of a part of ourselves. On one hand, we want to be with Jesus, follow him closely, and, on the other hand, we are afraid of the consequences that this brings with it.

 Be Touched by the Fire of the Holy Spirit!

    The Suffering it Causes is Necessary

      For Our Transformation!

"Dear brothers and sisters, we always need to hear the Lord Jesus tell us what he often repeated to his friends: 'Be not afraid.' Like Simon Peter and the others we must allow his presence and his grace to transform our heart, which is always subject to human weakness. We must know how to recognize that losing something, indeed, losing ourselves for the true God, the God of love and of life, is in reality gaining ourselves, finding ourselves more fully. Whoever entrusts himself to Jesus already experiences in this life peace and joy of heart, which the world cannot give, and it cannot even take it away once God has given it to us.

"So it is worthwhile to let ourselves be touched by the fire of the Holy Spirit! The suffering that it causes us is necessary for our transformation. It is the reality of the cross: It is not for nothing that in the language of Jesus 'fire' is above all a representation of the cross, without which Christianity does not exist.  Read More....

         A Grass Roots Call for Public Penance

In several recent statements, Pope Benedict has said the response to the sex abuse crisis in the church will require openness, adoption of new measures to protect children and spiritual reparation.

In a letter to Irish Catholics earlier this year, he asked that eucharistic adoration be set up in every diocese, so that “through intense prayer before the real presence of the Lord, you can make reparation for the sins of abuse that have done so much harm.

A PUBLIC PENANCE PROJECT                       

    To Make Spiritual Reparation

PUBLIC PENANCE PROJECT

Posted May 29 by Always Catholic Blog

Please everyone, talk to all you know, especially your Bishops and priests … a movement is beginning. We need to beg mercy and call down grace to strengthen and sanctify the clergy and faithful. With all the scandal for so long in the Church along with the progressives and liberals, we need to act quickly and storm heaven to mitigate what will surely befall us shortly from our complacency and arrogance.

Beginning with Bishops to lead by example and backed up by all clergy and faithful; we need to begin a movement of at least a quarter hour a week of  PUBLIC PENANCE. 15 minutes of CONTRITE PROSTRATE PRAYER in front of the Blessed Sacrament. If we do not beg mercy and grace for strength, conversions and in reparation …. our future will be our own doing.
