St.
Francis' Letter to all Bishops, Priests and Deacons...
"Less and less honor is being given to
My Son in the Eucharist. Will you not love Him? Express and act upon your love
by comforting My Son in the tabernacles of the world. Visit Him more often, for
He grows lonely in His House. Graces in abundance shall be given to all who seek
My Son in the Eucharist.
"Hasten, repair to the tabernacles of the world, My
children, while the doors of My Son's houses, His Church upon earth, are still
open to you. Many countries shall be deprived of this source of great grace, and
there shall be anguish of heart. Accept this elixir of love, My children--the
Bread of life, the Eucharist." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979
St. Francis wrote this short letter to encourage all bishops, priests and deacons to promote reverence for God, especially in the Most Blessed Sacrament:
We clerics cannot overlook the sinful neglect and ignorance some people are guilty of with regard to the holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are careless, too, about His holy name and the writings which contain His words, the words that consecrate His Body. We know His Body is not present unless the bread is first consecrated by these words. Indeed, in this world there is nothing of the Most High Himself that we can possess and contemplate with our eyes, except His Body and Blood, His name and His words, by which we were created and by which we have been brought back from death to life.
Those who are in charge of these sacred mysteries, and especially those who are careless about their task, should realize that the chalices, corporals and altar linens where the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are offered in sacrifice should be completely suitable. And besides, many clerics reserve the Blessed Sacrament in unsuitable places, or carry It about irreverently, or receive It unworthily, or give It to all comers without distinction. God's holy name, too, and His written words are sometimes trodden underfoot, because "the sensual man does not perceive the things that are of the Spirit of God." (1 Cor. 2:14)
Surely we clerics cannot be left unmoved by loving sorrow for all this; in His love, God gives Himself into our hands; we touch Him and receive Him daily into our mouths. Have we forgotten that we must fall into His hands?
And so we must correct these and all other abuses. If the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ has been left abandoned somewhere contrary to all the laws, It should be removed and put in a place that is prepared properly for It, where It can be kept safe. In the same way, God's name and His written words should be picked up, if they are found lying in the dirt, and put in a suitable place. We all know that we are bound to do this, according to the law of God and the prescriptions of Mother Church. Anyone who refuses to obey should realize that he will have to account for it before our Lord Jesus Christ on the day of judgment.
Anyone who has this writing copied, so that it may be obeyed more widely, can be sure that he has God's blessings.
- St. Francis of Assisi
"Why must you insult My Son? Can you not bend your knees? Is He not your King?" - Our Lady of the Roses, November 21, 1970
The amazing
Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
YOUR KING
"Why must you insult My Son? Can you not bend your knees? Is He not your King?"
- Our Lady, November 21, 1970
BOW YOUR KNEES
"Remember, My child, shout it from the roof. My Son is with you until the end of
your time. It is truly His Presence, His Real Presence, His divine Presence, His
Body and His Blood. Do not treat Him with disrespect! Bow your knees; cover your
head! Do not chew Him!" - Our Lady, June 8, 1974
REAL PRESENCE
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the
Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at
home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you
come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the
offenses to your God! ...
"As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did
not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river
in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come
to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence,
the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977
HONOR
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's
House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into
a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979
RESTORE HOLINESS
"In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My
Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled
to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My
House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December
31, 1975
RESTORE ALTAR RAILINGS
"I have asked you to get down on your knees. Clergy in My Son's House, His
Church, restore the altar railings, that man may be on his knees. For many shall
crawl on their knees in desperation seeking to flee, but nowhere shall they
escape the flames. Restore My Son's Church while there is time. Return the
railings! Have the people make atonement upon their knees to their God!" -
Our Lady, May 30, 1981
