Chris, this posting was an absolute tonic for my soul. Yesterday I was beset by a terrible depression. Am I crazy? Losing my my mind? Perhaps this is a dream. Maybe this attempt to make us doubt the truth and embrace absurdity is like MKUltra for Catholics. One of my constant requests of the Lord is that He permit me to stay with Him in the garden of agony where He was so alone and where He felt abandoned and then dove into the cesspool of our sins. I want to not abandon Him and if possible experience a little of what He felt. Yesterday was what I can only describe as horrible but I kept telling Him to help me hang on. This morning some of the weight was lifted but I felt weak and weary. If we allow our minds and the need for truth to be separated from our souls, we will be shipwrecked. Bottom line: Pray without ceasing, hold the line of Truth and have gratitude for all the Lord's blessings especially one Chris Jackson.

You're on to it, Sister, Karen! Today all the Vatican theatrics is akin to "MK Ultra," that 20 yearlong CIA program of mind control by drugs, hypnosis, isolation, verbal abuses and other terrors.

Your constant request to our Blessed Lord to allow you to be with him and to comfort him in the garden of agony touched me. Bless you!

Just remember: "Whenever evil arises, God raises up brave men and women to oppose and overcome it."

Thanks for your encouraging words!

The "false shepherds" are modern day Pharisees. They dress in the scarlet or purple robes of cardinals or bishops or the white cassock of the papacy, but underneath, there is no faith. They are unbelievers, neither entering themselves nor allowing others to enter, as Jesus said.

Excellent, again!

"The Church today is full of men who want to govern without doctrine."

One needs to make the important distinction between the Catholic Church, which we call "the Church," and the counterfeit church of Vatican II.

The Miraculous Medal was designed in heaven, and therefore we can be sure that it was designed with meticulous care to detail. That medal depicts Our Lady's foot as being behind the head of the serpent, not as crushing its head. In this she is shown as having total domination over the serpent. But the victory, and the crushing of the serpent's head, is brought about by her Son. The crushing of the serpent's head was prophesied in Genesis 3:15, and in fact that verse has always been seen as the first scriptural promise of a Redeemer. If it does not refer to Christ as the One who crushes the head of the serpent, then it could not be a promise of the Redeemer.

Genesis 3:15 deliberately uses very specific language. The head is the seat of the intellect. The serpent had used its intellect to insinuate to Eve that God's nature is essentially that of being self-serving. To crush the head of the serpent is to prove instead, in an irrefutable way, that God is love. And this is exactly what Jesus did when He died for us on the cross. No one else could do this, because only the action of God can prove the nature of God.

Knowing the truth about God's nature is the truth that sets us free. Knowing God is everlasting life for us, as Jesus said. Knowing that God is love is the culmination of the Gospel in our minds and hearts.

St John wrote, "God is love". The Gospel culminates in this truth. As St Paul wrote, if a person does not have love, all the other virtues he may have profit him nothing. St Paul also writes that love is not self-serving, and Christ certainly showed us that God is not self-serving but rather serving. "The Son of man has not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

St John lived with our Blessed Mother as her son after Jesus on the cross established their relationship as mother and son. Perhaps it was she herself who said to John that God is love.

Just threw out fake miraculous medals as stars were under her feet, not around her head.

Not a real Miraculous Medal.

I wonder if they came from Medjugorje?

Susan Sherwin's avatar

Can't remember where it came from. Possibly in church. Heard some may be cursed per caller on Relevant Radio. Yikes.

Mother Mary would have lived with John and his Mom, whose Mom was at the foot of the Cross. John's Dad has not been mentioned in the Bible for a while, so maybe he had died already. If his Dad was gone, then probably John as head of the house, would have inherited their home, and would have been the head of the household.

I expect they, John, Mother Mary, James, and John's Mom all traveled back home from Jerusalem, after Pentecost, during which waiting time John and James would have looked after the womenfolk.

Also, remember that John's Mom did ask Jesus if her sons could have special treatment in His Kingdom, so we can know that John's and James' Mom knew Jesus very well.

And, Remember the miracle of the fishes when their nets broke, and after they came ashore, Jesus, Peter, Andrew, James, and John all went to their homes and families to explain God's plan for the menfolk, and that all would be taken care of by God during their absence, plus, they would come back and visit from time to time.

So, we give thanks to our Father, again, for His provisions for our Blessed Mother Mary, for meeting every need she had, and for the needs of others.

God bless, C-Marie

Once again the oratory all that is Catholic in prose.

Another excellent article, Chris, and just in time for Passion Week. May we all cling to this and remember that men pass away as dead grass, but Jesus is the same today, yesterday, and forever.

Mr. Jackson; what a powerful article. Thank you.

The line that pierced my heart was "And so Christ hides Himself and goes out from the temple."

It was not just that He went out, but that WE drove Him out! We allowed the V-II ape of the church to create a barren desert in the same buildings where once was found the literal physical presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But is no longer there.

My God, My God, why did I abandon YOU! Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned.

I thank God daily for CMRI and SSPX, for without them, we would have nothing but a wasteland devoid of Life.

Mike Lewis: "They don't seem to realize that Leo is more progressive than Francis. He could wash the feet of twelve Trans people on Holy Thursday, but the headline will simply be that he's returned it back to a church in defiance of the mean modernist Francis."

Too many of the revolutionary men within positions of power are indeed bound by ambition, fear,

salaries, access, and also sins. There who are those fighting for women’s ordination, care of the Earth, blessings for sodomy, inculturation , a “different church“, etc…while they fight for these things, instead of fighting for the salvation of souls, they are playing into the hands of the enemy, who is all about anything but God. They are not hiding it anymore, but are in plain sight and many are being rewarded for it.

We keep in mind that truth does not change; God does not change. We cling to what has been handed down to us. I often pray to know the path of true obedience as, sadly, obedience has been used as a cudgel for destruction over these past decades. In particular, false obedience has wiped out communities, convents, institutes, and Orders. The faithful need to be able to discern how to obey God rather than man, and that is difficult when it is a superior as blind obedience is no longer a virtue when it is used for destruction and corruption.

Yet we are not to lose hope! We are not to fall into despair and depression. We are to stand fast. Our Lady, the Mediatrix of All Graces, will help us to remain close to her Son who is The Truth.

Michael of the Cross's avatar

Yes, we absolutely must discern how to obey God rather than obey the evil men who manage the rotting, putrid corpse of V-II, regardless of the cost.

"Do not imagine that God is passive [or powerless] because He is patient."

Christ will prevail when the circumstances are ripe. All of the Jews had become either passive or fallen away, being God's Chosen People in name only. Except for a select few. And with that select few Christ conquered the world. He did it once. He will do it again.

RosaryKnight's avatar

Yes, and Christ will do it through His Mother and Queen, and ours, who crushes the head of the Serpent. It will be the promised triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, per the Message of Fatima.

One of the effects of Vatican II was the Judaization of the majority of the Hiarchcy in the Catholic Church just as the Philosemite and Freemason Pope John XXIII hoped for.

Some little known info on the Judaization of the V2 church under "Saint" John XXIII is in this new interview: "The Vatican II Church is Jewish! Part II" - Gary Giuffré Interview
