Pope Benedict in Portugal: Christians, Answer to Secularism is to Re-Evangelize World...

“My children of the world, you stand now upon a hill, a hill that you have built upon humanistic values and materialistic manners, as you sought to build a world of your own, cutting off the light, and building a utopia, built with humanism and socialism, and communism—all under the heading of love and brotherhood, but covered with a blanket of darkness of the spirit. For this, the Eternal Father has allowed you to pursue your own course. The awakening shall come in shock to many.” – Jesus, November 20, 1979

Pope Benedict said in his many addresses and homilies during his recently concluded trip to Portugal that "vast effort at every level" is needed to answer the threat of secularism in Europe, of which abortion and homosexual "marriage" are among "today's most insidious and dangerous threats to the common good".

To the assembled bishops in Fatima on Thursday, he forthrightly called for "a new missionary vigor," to counter "politicians, intellectuals, communications professionals who profess and who promote a monocultural ideal, with disdain for the religious and contemplative dimension of life".

"In such circles are found some believers who are ashamed of their beliefs," Benedict added, "and who even give a helping hand to this type of secularism, which builds barriers before Christian inspiration."

What is needed, he said, is "a vigorous Catholic outlook ... in fidelity to the magisterium...a strong prophetic dimension without allowing yourselves to be silenced."

The theme of the entire three-day visit was the call to all Christians to become personally committed to missionary activity and the re-evangelization of western culture. He called for Christians at every level in the Church and society, to "Bear witness to all of the joy that [Christ's] strong yet gentle presence evokes, starting with your contemporaries".

He asked Christians to display courage in the face of secularist opposition and even their own complacency, saying, "Often we are anxiously preoccupied with the social, cultural and political consequences of the faith, taking for granted that faith is present, which unfortunately is less and less realistic. Perhaps we have placed an excessive trust in ecclesial structures and programs, in the distribution of powers and functions; but what will happen if salt loses its flavor?"

In comments on Thursday to social and pastoral care workers in Fatima, Benedict became even more explicit, praising work to preserve "the essential and primary values of life, beginning at conception, and of the family based on the indissoluble marriage between a man and a woman." These pastoral works, he said, "help to respond to some of today's most insidious and dangerous threats to the common good".

Benedict's call to the Christians of Portugal to defend the spiritual and philosophical roots of their culture came at the same time that Portuguese legislators were preparing to legalize same-sex "marriage". This week Portuguese president Anibal Cavaco Silva signed a law making Portugal the sixth country in Europe to allow "gay marriage".

It has been announced that Pope Benedict's call for the re-conversion of Europe and other western, traditionally Christian countries, will become the work of a new Vatican Office, the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization. This expression was coined by his predecessor John Paul II and an activity that has gained strength in the US.

In an address to religious education teachers in December 2000, then-Cardinal Ratzinger, said the New Evangelization is "the path toward happiness," and "to evangelize means to show this path-to teach the art of living".

“The cross of Christ is to be replaced by the worship of man, no longer the cross of the living God. Man has set himself up as an idol.” – Our Lady of the Roses, February 1, 1973

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/ These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

"THERE IS BUT ONE GOD!"
"There are no gods, My children, upon your earth! There is but one God! You have set up many gods to worship upon your earth, even seeking to make man a god! Can you not remember how the gates of Heaven were closed to you. Why? Because of pride and arrogance and listening to the voice of evil. Your first parents, My children, listened to this voice and fell and succumbed to the evil.
"I understand, My children, I know what lies in the hearts of mankind. They do not give your children the knowledge of your first parents, Adam and Eve. They do not give your children the knowledge of the existence of hell. Can you not understand, My children, why? Without this knowledge, they shall sin and sin shall become a way of life!" - Our Lady, December 24, 1975

GRACES
"In your world now of modernism and humanism, socialism, communism, secularism—all of this, My children, is leading to the unification of man into a one-world religion, a one-world church, and a one-world government to the enslavement of mankind, creating a form of mass atheism in the world. Man is setting up false idols to worship: money, power, materialism. My children, none of this will have any value to you when you leave this world. You must now gather and store your treasures in Heaven if you want and wish to go there. These are called graces, graces given freely for the asking, graces for cures of the spirit before they come over the veil." - Our Lady, July 25, 1977

ENSNAREMENT
"All who have given themselves to the pleasures of the flesh, all who have given themselves to the new modes of humanism and modernism set down for ensnarement of the human race by satan, all those who close their ears to Our voices, shall burn!" - Jesus, May 28, 1975

NOVELTIES
"There are many novelties, there are many abominations and offenses being committed in My Son's houses throughout the world. Man has given himself to experimentation and humanism, and man has not learned from his past or listened to his past Vicars, the Popes of old, who warned of the approach of heresy and modernism. You were given the measures to be guided by to prevent the entrance of the Antichrist into your world and into My Son's Church. But man of God, followers of the cross, you cast the cross down and you stomp upon it!" - Our Lady, February 1, 1977

DECEIVED
"My children, understand that, with all of your modernization and your intent for good, you have been deceived by satan. Humanism and modernism is bringing about bad fruits, My children. A great measure of responsibility shall be given among those in My hierarchy in My Church that have allowed these errors to come in." - Jesus, May 20, 1978

INSANITY
"Man has sought to become a king among nations. And man has sought to destroy My Church upon earth. And he builds himself one that cannot be recognized as being in the light, for it is a church now of humanism. And woe to those who have set themselves up to worship idols, and have commanded through satanism. My children, have you all progressed into insanity? For surely you have been counseled in the past that sin is insanity, and you now shall reap your own harvest in suffering." - Jesus, October 6, 1977

FULL PLAN
"You shall not win souls and neither shall you enter Heaven when you use humanism and modernism and change as your approach. Heaven gave you a full plan for the redemption of souls. You will not change this plan to suit the basic carnal nature of man." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

THE SIMPLE TRUTH
"The Message from Heaven has not been given, My children, to bring fear to your hearts, but to awaken you from your slumber. Many are being misled; many are accepting error and going like sheep to the slaughter; and many follow like ducks downstream. And what solution, My children, do you have now to your problems of discord, disillusionment, and the turning away from My Son's House, His Church? You must return; you must accept the simple truth which has been given to you. Tradition is part of this firm foundation. The modes of modernism and humanism shall destroy the world." - Our Lady, August 14, 1976

TURN BACK
"Awaken from your slumber, My pastors. You will turn back now and retrieve what you have lost when you have succumbed to the errors of humanism and modernism. Do not be filled with pride. Be humble and accept your cross. Acknowledge before mankind that error has been followed, for to err is human, My children. But when you know you have made a mistake, what have you to gain but to follow this road of folly. Turn back and start again." - Jesus, August 14, 1976

On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world.

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
