Revised, The Eucharistic Miracle of Gruaro Italy-1294 Bishops, Priests Please Help Stop the Abuses!!



As far back as the Council of Trent  the teaching on the Holy Eucharist being Christ in all of its parts: "If anyone denies that the whole Christ is contained in the venerable sacrament of the Eucharist under each species and under every part of each species, each minute particle when the separation has been made: let him be anathema (DS 1653)

Eucharistic Miracle of Gruaro-Valvasone

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.”
  



The following is my personal testimony of the Litany of ongoing abuses still taking place  within the church some recurring on a daily basis.  

Over the years I have been distraught over the incomprehension of good Catholics who are blinded as to cause and effect how we treat God and his blessings being withdrawn from men. Look at the state of affairs in our country. The evil spirit is using both democrats and republicans both sides are wrong!

God himself is in the Blessed Sacrament and we continue to treat him as if he was nothing but a casual piece of bread. There is a causal effect from the numerous sacrileges occurring with the blessed Sacrament and our inability to defeat the daily murders taking place in abortions.

The baby in the womb is an Image of God, (Imago Dei ) and these are  also victims to the hedonism of the times. It is  my opionion that these babies murdered in the womb are Every much  victims for the body of Christ  in the Blessed Sacrament as the Holy Innocents, killed by Herod were victims for his mortal human life while he lived on earth. 

 Apostasy from Truth

We have slipped down the slipper slope of apostasy from truth, error and sacrilege. If we truly believed what the church has taught for centuries  regarding the Blessed Sacrament we would do everything to bring these abuses to an end. 

A veritable Litany of Abuses

The following Eucharistic abuses I have had the unfortunate experience to witness were reported when this post was first published in 2009. Since that time I am updating this post in 2013 and I am aware that our new archbishop has finally corrected the following sacrilege that was ongoing for years. A priest in my archdiocese told us about in a homily when he was frustrated at the lack of results to correct the abuse.  A Mass of Reparation was offered at the offending parish. They were pouring the left over consecrated blood into the sacristy drain. Thats OK except for the fact that the drain was not going directly into the ground it was connected to the city sewer.  Yes  unbelievable Our Lord let this happen and for many years the precious blood of Jesus was mixed with mans sewage waste! It is unfathomable for me to comprehend that this took place for years when many people had reported it. Finally the new archbishop had the courage to confront the offending priest and parish to correct the situation! How many more similiar offenses are taking place.

How long O Lord will You endure this generation!

I have witnessed a hospital chapel where Our Lord was strewn on the floor and particles were visible in the glass tabernacle on the corporal. Down the hall was a vacuum cleaner! I consumed all of the particles on the ground and took the largest one to the Sister Chaplain telling her she would be responsible before God for all of the lost particles. Her reply: "If I am responsible for  all of the lost particles I would never get anyone to become a Eucharistic Minister."

How many times I have come across extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist who are not properly trained for their commission by their bishops or pastors.  

Captioned A Halloween Mass --My Jesus Mercy!

They were never taught to purify their pyx so consecrated particles remain and our Lord is carried to unspeakable places even into the rest rooms.  One deacon was upset with me when I went up to him one day and asked him what he was doing letting Our Lord rest on the Cafeteria table in the pyx as he stopped to smoke a cigarette. His reply: "God is everywhere and I take him to the bathroom when I have to go!"  


I am not in agreement with some of the posts by Tradition in Action Blog  but this one is worth noting. They posted the following article: "On November 26, 2006 at Corpus Christ Parish, Aliso Viejo, California, Fr. Fred Bailey promoted a Halloween Mass. At the event, the Eucharist was distributed by a woman dressed as a devil, above; canticles were sung from the pulpit by a witch, and some of the musicians were also in satanic costumes. At the end of the Mass, Fr. Bailey himself appeared in a Barney costume to bless the attendees The worst aspect of this clownish-satanic Mass was the desecration of the Holy Eucharist. To watch a video on that Mass click here

I have also traveled in the past to many places in the US, Canada as well as Europe and have witnessed similar abuses. How long will the Lord tolerate us? How long will he put up with us? 

I have witnessed priests breaking the extra large hosts while held over their heads. Consecrated particles falling into their hair on their shoulders, on the altar and the ground only to be trampled on by the Eucharistic ministers who approach the altar. Later after Mass brushed out of the priests hair the next time he combed it.  Wherever that may be I don't want to think!  Our Lord is present even in the smallest particle of the Host, and in the smallest particle that may fall to the ground.  It is the TEACHING OF THE CHURCH!

A host that leaves excessive particles behind

Then there is the back wards spirit. One parish the people kneel piously  at the  communion rail and even use the Paten. However, those who wish to receive in the hand do so. Unfortunately the priest uses the very large host that he breaks up in small pieces to give to the people  for communion.   After they receive on their hands they promptly use them to help themselves rise from their spot. How many particles are left behind on the communion rail or floor?

Over the centuries  beginning with the Council of Trent countless church documents were written and  concerned with the reverence that we owe to the Blessed Sacrament.  Over and over the church has demanded that we take every precaution that no particle of the Host not even the smallest is left open for desecration in any way.  

Are we living in the Great Apostasy?  2 Thessalonians 2 

God will send them a strong delusion, so they will believe lies since they refused to accept the truth!

Fatima Begins and Ends with the Eucharist!

I firmly believe that we are living in the times prophesied by St Paul in 2ndThessalonians 2  ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
  
Where is the source of our apostasy our  digression from the truth? Where have we preferred a lie for the truth?  Disobedience to the moral teachings of the popes.  We are suffering the moral and social consequences of  the first sin of Adam and Eve by our  own disobedience to the teaching authority of the popes.

Humane Vitea Prophetic Encyclical 

Humane Vitea "so controversial, yet so crucial 
for humanity's future."  Benedict XVI 2008

On July 25, 1968.  Paul VI issued the encyclical Humanae Vitae  on Human Life.  Subtitled "On the Regulation of Birth", 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. 

Humanae Vitae  Controversial as it was,  and still ignored in many liberal Catholic circles, is today regarded as prophetic. Its predictions about the effects of contraception on society are a blueprint for the sufferings of our times.  


First, Pope Paul VI,  stated that "artificial methods of birth control will open  the way of lowering of moral standards for the young and  lead to marital infidelity. Second, the use of contraception will lead to the lowering of respect for women; husbands will regard their wives as mere instruments to serve their own desires. Thirdly, the use of artificial methods of contraception, Pope Paul VI warned, will be a dangerous tool in the hands of government or public authorities who care little about the moral law, and who may force the use of contraceptives on everyone.Look at China and other communist countries. Pope Paul VI  was deeply grieved at the rebellion of many of the bishops of the day and did not issue any additional encyclicals in the remaining ten years of his pontificate.
  
Bishops and priests remember that you will have to account to Our Lord for these abuses of the Blessed Sacrament by those under your charge!

"My God I beg your pardon for all those who do not believe. do not adore, do not hope, and do not love you!  Most Holy Trinity I adore you and I offer you the most precious body, blood soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the outrages sacrileges and differences by which he is offended. By the infinite merits of his most sacred heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary I beg the conversion of all poor sinners." --Angel of Peace at Fatima 1916

BL. John Paul II, soon to be canonized, left us a great legacy on the Holy Eucharist  in many documents warning and pleading with us not to abandon our Faith in the Eucharist or diminish the respect the greatness of this Sacrament deserves. "By giving the Eucharist the prominence it deserves, and by being careful not to diminish any of its dimensions or demands, we show that we are truly conscious of the greatness of this gift. We are urged to do so by an uninterrupted tradition, which from the first centuries on has found the Christian community ever vigilant in guarding this “treasure”. Inspired by love, the Church is anxious to hand on to future generations of Christians, without loss, her faith and teaching with regard to the mystery of the Eucharist. There can be no danger of excess in our care for this mystery, for “in this sacrament is recapitulated the whole mystery of our salvation”. Bl. John Paul II  ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA

What are you doing to defend 

the Body of Christ?

 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!

It is a Wonder That We Finite Creatures Created by an Infinite God are Able to Console Him by Worthily Receiving Him in Holy Communion! The Angel at Fatima taough this to the shepeherd children before the Blessed Virgin appeared to them. They also had a Eucharistic Mission! Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist use Common Sense! Remember Whom you Carry and Where you are Taking Him!

The Epic Battle between St. Michael and Lucifer that took place in Heaven is still being waged on Earth!

Today is the memorial to our Guardian Angels. Did you thank your Holy Angel for never leaving you even when he witnessed your most grievous sins. Your Holy Angel stood by your side grieivng and yes maybe even wanting to avange the honor of God but he did not he stood by waiting and praying for grace that God will open your eyes and you will repent! If you had a conversion experience this was also due to your Holy Angel who guided you to the people that would help you. Just like St Augustine who  through the prayers of his Mother St. Monica was led to St Ambrose whose homilies St. Ambrose helped awaken in St Augustine the light of faith!'  Similarly, our guardian angels  protect, defend and guides each of us through the warfare that is still taking place on Earth. 

The same war that began in Heaven at the beginning of time in the book of between St Michael and the Good Angels who cast Lucifer and the bad angels out of Heaven. Rev. chapter 12. St. John writes of the great conflict at the end of time, which reflected the battle in heaven at the beginning of time in the book of Genesis.  I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15 

 Did you thank your  Guardian Angel today? 

It is he who will lead you through this life and the epic battle still waging around us between the good and the bad angels. Man is also a participant in this epic battle still being fought in time on earth. Man has a choice in time for and against good and our holy guardian angel wants us to be with then beholding the face of the father in Heaven!  to the Judgment seat of Christ.The battle that took place in heaven at the beginning of time will wage on earth  until Christ returns and makes his enemies his footstool. Each human person will also have his choice in this same battle either for God and His will or for mans will. "O Angel of Christ, my holy Guardian and Protector of my soul and body, forgive me all my sins of today. Deliver me from all the wiles of the enemy, that I may not anger my God by any sin. Pray for me, sinful and unworthy servant, that thou mayest present me worthy of the kindness and mercy of the All-holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ, and of all the Saints. Amen".  An Eastern Orthodox prayer to the Guardian Angel

The Epic Battle between St. Michael & Lucifer that took place in Heaven still waged on Earth!

Fall of the rebel Angels by Frans Floris

⁷ And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels: ⁸ And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹ And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night. ¹² Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Rev.12:7-12

Woman of the Apocalypse Peter Paul Ruben

The Woman of Genesis 3:15 and the Woman with the Dragon in Rev.:12 can viewed as the Church founded by Christ and/or the Virgin Mary who is the Mother of Christ and Mother of the Church.

Meditations on these verses should be made with both interpretations present because both are interchangeable. For me I can see more that Our Lord is referring to the Church of God that he left behind on earth when he ascended to Heaven. Her offspring are those who are baptized that the devil is seeking. The rivers of water the devil spews from his mouth are the heresies, the lies that make good evil and evil good. The devil uses them to try to destroy the church by these deceptions. 

Pope Francis & Benedict XVI 

Entrusted the Vatican City State 

to St. Michael the Archangel last July

This was a significant action taken by the Pope and may also signify that the pope is reinforcing the words of Venerable Paul VI.  The church is in the midst of the epic Battle of Revelation Chapter 12  with the forces of evil in the world. Evil "whose smoke has entered into the very confines  of the church. As  Pope Francis entrusted the Vatican City State to St Michael the Archangel he said :"Though the devil always tries to disfigure the face of the Archangel and that of humanity, God is stronger, it is His victory and His salvation that is offered to all men. We are not alone on the journey or in the trials of life, we are accompanied and supported by the Angels of God, who offer, so to speak, their wings to help us overcome so many dangers, in order to fly high compared to those realities that can weigh down our lives or drag us down. In consecrating Vatican City State to St. Michael the Archangel, I ask him to defend us from the evil one and banish him. "  Read more....

Venerable Pope Paul VI 

and the MYSTERY OF EVIL

 

This battle and deceptions were notably assessed and written about by the Venerable Paul VI as early as 1972 in a General Audience given on November 15 of that year.

 CONFRONTING THE DEVIL'S POWER  

"What are the Church's greatest needs at the present time? Don't be surprised at Our answer and don't write it off as simplistic or even superstitious: one of the Church's greatest needs is to be defended against the evil we call the Devil.

Man's Fatal Tempter

There are many things we do know, however, about this diabolical world, things that touch on our lives and on the whole history of mankind. The Devil is at the origin of mankind's first misfortune, he was the wily, fatal tempter involved in the first sin, the original sin. That fall of Adam gave the Devil a certain dominion over man, from which only Christ's Redemption can free us. It is a history that is still going on: let us recall the exorcisms at Baptism, and the frequent references in Sacred Scripture and in the liturgy to the aggressive and oppressive "power of darkness." The Devil is the number one enemy, the preeminent tempter.

So we know that this dark disturbing being exists and that he is still at work with his treacherous cunning; he is the hidden enemy who sows errors and misfortunes in human history. It is worth recalling the revealing Gospel parable of the good seed and the cockle, for it synthesizes and explains the lack of logic that seems to preside over our contradictory experiences: "An enemy has done this."He is "a murderer from the beginning, . . . and the father of lies," as Christ defines him. He undermines man's moral equilibrium with his sophistry. He is the malign, clever seducer who knows how to make his way into us through the senses, the imagination and the libido, through utopian logic, or through disordered social contacts in the give and take of our activities, so that he can bring about in us deviations that are all the more harmful because they seem to conform to our physical or mental makeup, or to our profound, instinctive aspirations.

Venerable Paul VI with President John F. Kennedy

This matter of the Devil and of the influence he can exert on individuals as well as on communities, entire societies or events, is a very important chapter of Catholic doctrine which should be studied again, although it is given little attention today. Some think a sufficient compensation can be found in psychoanalytic and psychiatric studies or in spiritualistic experiences, which are unfortunately so widespread in some countries today. We can presume that his sinister action is at work where the denial of God becomes radical, subtle and absurd; where lies become powerful and hypocritical in the face of evident truth; where love is smothered by cold, cruel selfishness; where Christ's name is attacked with conscious, rebellious hatred,where the spirit of the Gospel is watered down and rejected where despair is affirmed as the last word; and so forth.”

This was audience given by Venerable Paul VI in 1972.  How much deeper men have fallen and embraced the darkness of sin and error! What will it take to deliver us from it? The Divine intervention foretold at Fatima during the Miracle of the Sun? A purification by fire? 

Sts. Michael, Garbriel and Raphel

September 29^th  was the Feast of Sts. Michael, Garbriel and Raphel. This years feast fell on Sunday and the Sunday Mass usually takes precedence. However, If you were fortunate enough to participate in the Extraordinary or Tridentine form of the Mass you were able to celebrate the Feast of the Dedication of St Michael the Archangel. A double First Class Feast  may take precedence over the Sunday Mass. St Michael had his day in Divine providence  this year in the Extraordinary form of the Liturgy!

Around  530 A.D., on September 29^th , Pope Boniface II dedicated a church in the great circus, at Rome, to St. Michael the Archangel.   This particular Church was named after St. Michael to show the power of martyrdom and how it converted pagan Rome to the Christian faith. Previously in Italy, In the year 492, St Michael had appeared in a cave on Mt. Gargano in the region of  Foggia in the Kingdom of Naples. St. Francis of Assisi knelt at the entrance to the cave and could not bring himself to enter because of the holiness of the site.  St Michael appeared at Mt Gargano as the head of the heavenly army to remind us of that Great epic battle that took place in heaven at the beginning of time is still being fought today on Earth! 

The Hebrew meaning of Michael is, Who is like God, denoted the combat which took place in Heaven between the archangel and Lucifer. As we have fallen through sin into the power of satan it is St Michael’s mission along with our holy guardian angels to continue the fight for our deliverance.  And since Christ's coming the Church has ever venerated St. Michael as her special patron and protector. She invokes him by name in her confession of sin, summons him to the side of her children in the agony of death, and chooses him as their escort from the chastening flames of purgatory to the realms of holy light. 

When Antichrist shall have set up his kingdom on earth, it is Michael who will unfurl once more the standard of the Cross, sound the last trumpet, and binding together the false prophet and the beast, hurl them for all eternity into the burning pool.

The battle that took place in heaven at the beginning of time will wage on earth  until Christ returns and makes his enemies his footstool. Each human person will also have his choice in this same battle either for God and His will or for mans will. 

Holy Michael the archangel defend us in battle that we perish not in the dreadful judgement!--Amen. Maranatha -Come Lord Jesus
