Vatican Prefect Concerned About Ongoing Secularization of Religious Orders...
"In the Mission from Heaven, you must give yourselves over fully to the spirit. The more you become attached to worldly gain or endeavors, seeking the material before the spiritual, the farther you will go from the truth." - Jesus, May 30, 1977
CNA reported on February 17, 2011:
Religious orders face continued pressures to “secularize” and this threatens their identities and their mission in the world, according to the retiring leader of the Vatican’s office on religious life.
In a Feb. 16 interview with Vatican Radio, Cardinal Franc Rode warned that secularization that “has penetrated many communities and consciences.”
“Secularization,” he said, “is expressed in prayer (that is) often formal and without meditation and it damages the concept of obedience, introducing a certain “democratic” mentality that excludes the role of legitimate authority.”
Cardinal Rode, a Slovenian, is stepping down as prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for religious, a position he has held since 2004. He will be replaced by a Brazilian, Archbishop Joao Braz de Aviz, who was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI on Jan. 4.
Cardinal Rode told Vatican Radio that religious communities have been “hotbeds of spiritual liveliness and missionary dynamism” throughout the Church’s history.
The “great reforms” within the Catholic Church have been pushed by religious, he noted. Religious have historically been the most persecuted, but also “the most canonized,” he added.
In travels to Latin America, Africa and Asia in recent years, Cardinal Rode said he continues to see an “admirable devotion” among the many varieties of religious men and women of the world, which number around 1.1 million.
The situation in the religious communities of the world is not all roses, however. “Religious life is in difficulty today and this must be recognized,” said the cardinal.
It also threatens to turn works of charity into pure social service, which he said causes harm to the proclamation of the Gospel.
In such an atmosphere, “a society of well-being” is pursued over questions of eternity, explained Cardinal Rode.
He warned that there are signs of secularization all over the globe, but that they are most prominent in the West.
Cardinal Rode said that since his appointment he has been working on “seeking to overcome this mentality of secularization and reasserting the fundamental values of consecrated life - making of religious men and women ... a force of renewal of the Church.”
He has turned both to the “healthy strengths” of traditional communities and the “new spiritual currents” of the more recently founded communities in the process.
The cardinal expressed his confidence in the new religious communities cropping up in places such as France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Peru and the U.S. which are “surging against the spirit of secularism.”
“These communities give great importance to prayer and to the fraternal life lived in community; they insist on poverty and obedience: all take the religious habit, a visible sign of their consecration,” he explained.
“(They) call man to his transcendent destiny and constitute a force of renewal, of which the Church has a great need.”
VOWS DISCARDED
"Please, my sisters, return your garments to the floor! Your example is not one of piety and chastity. Your vows have been discarded. You enter into a world that has been given to satan. Retreat from this world. Go back to your life of prayer. Better a life of solitude than a life of eternal damnation.
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
"Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974

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.
TO CORRUPT AND DEFILE
"You will keep your sacramentals and pray now a constant vigil of prayer. Satan
works now to corrupt and defile the dedicated. Watch, pray, and beware. He roams
in the holy House of God. Many mitres will fall into hell. The love of God dims
in your world. The dedicated are casting their badges off like they cannot run
fast enough into the flames! Are you ashamed to stand as symbols of your Father
in Heaven?" - Our Lady, October 2,
1972
INTELLECTUAL PRIDE
"Rigid discipline is necessary in the rule of all dedicated. Discipline and
obedience to the will of God and not the will of man must be restored upon
earth. Your offenses against your God and your destruction of souls, leading
more onto the path into darkness, have not passed unnoticed by the Father. You
have received your warning.
"Men of God in the House of God,
turn back from your ways of satan! Recognize the hand of satan upon you. Starve
your souls of the demons that you have allowed to enter upon you! Return to
discipline and the rule! You will not take our words and rewrite them to satisfy
the desires of mere man! Have you placed yourself beyond the angels? They, too,
were cast from the Kingdom for their arrogance. Intellectual pride has led you
down the wrong road. Many mitres will fall into hell." - St.
Thomas Aquinas, February 1, 1973
PURPOSE
OF LIFE
"While you are upon earth you are there to do honor and glory to your God in
Heaven. You must know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this world, so that you
will be happy with Him forever in the next." - Our Lady, June 1, 1978
THE DEDICATED ARE
LEAVING
"My child, We watch and
see the houses of My Son crumbling, being destroyed throughout your world. Doors
are closing, convents are emptying, and the dedicated are leaving and falling
into all manner of sin and abominations. Who shall be in the remnant? Only a few
will be saved." - Our Lady,
May 26, 1976
INFILTRATED
"Yes, My child, I spoke to
you of the evil ones who have infiltrated into the clergy. They are not entering
with dedication and spirits of light, but they are bringing in the spirit of
darkness. By their fruits will you know them, My child. I have asked you to be
not fooled by those who wear the garments of the dedicated but have fouled their
garments. You must pray more for the light and recognize the faces of evil about
you, My child." - Jesus,
June 5, 1975
OBEDIENCE
"In the cause of
obedience, pastors and Our dedicated nuns, remember this: you cannot be obedient
to one who has defamed his habit, to one who has cast aside his Faith, to one
who goes forward as a destroyer of souls. The rabat is the teacher of life, but
do not be fooled by those who foul these habits." -
Our Lady, August 5, 1976
COME
FORWARD
"Will you not, My
children, you who are children of the light, come forward and become nuns, nuns
with good hearts, with a good foundation of the Faith and the truth, and nourish
Our sheep?" - Our Lady,
June 18, 1982
JESUS
MADE THE RULE
"Jesus the Lord, your
Lord, my sisters and brothers, has made the rule. You cannot change it to suit
yourselves. You have been blinded by satan. The liberation in your hearts has
been placed there by satan. You gain nothing but your own destruction. Nuns,
those who have accepted the rule and taken the habit, must remain in the habit."
- St. Theresa, October 2,
1975
GARMENT
OF PURITY
"Holiness and piety! Man—men
of God, you must wear your garment of purity, dedication, and piety. What manner
of foul deeds do you perform for the destruction of your sheep! For what?
Material gain and pride and arrogance? You shall be cast into the abyss! Rank
shall give you no advantage when you come over the veil." -
St. Michael, December 24, 1975
WOE
"And woe to the clergy who
has given himself over to worldliness and sin! Woe to the clergy who rejects his
vocation and chooses a life upon earth after he has taken his vows! I say unto
him: the judgment will fall great upon him." -
Jesus, August 4, 1979
MOCKED
"Know now, my brothers and
sisters of religious orders, you will be mocked, you will be scorned, but you
will please the Eternal Father and receive your reward in the Kingdom." -
St. Francis, May 28, 1975
THE
"BUCK-PASSER"
"I see, My children, a
great evil transpiring upon earth. Those who have the power to stop the evil
have chosen to go downstream like ducks upon water, letting everything slide off
their backs, neither caring nor visualizing the future. And why? Because they
have given themselves to the world.
"Just as My Son stood before Pilate and he washed his hands and said: 'This
man is innocent; I see no wrong in him,' however, in his heart he knew of
innocence but he feared reprisal from the crowd, My children; he valued his
life, he loved his sin, and he was too much involved with the pleasures of this
life and the world.
"You see, My children, it is taking place all over again for those in
command in rule. They go along 'passing,' as you say, 'the buck,' each one not
willing to admit his error or his participation in evil, but only too willingly
allowing others to take the blame or the responsibility. And I assure you, My
children, if evil is being allowed, the 'buck passer' is just as guilty as the
original one who had started the evil.
"If you know in your hearts, O pastors, that souls are in danger of being
corrupted, misled, and even destroyed, and you do nothing about it, because you
do not wish to offend your superiors, because you value your life in this world
too much and your good living; I assure you, O pastors, you shall stand before
My Son and He shall not know you. You will be disowned, banished from eternal
life in Heaven, and you shall join your father who is the father of all liars,
satan, and the prince of darkness." -
Our Lady, March 18, 1977
DO NOT
LEAVE
"Do not leave when you are
discouraged by those who satan has sent into your convents. Stand forth as an
example of purity and godliness. You will not be cast aside by your God, as you
will by man, as you stand to defend your God. Pick up your cross and carry it."
- St. Theresa, November 20,
1972
TELEVISION
/ RADIOS
"Modernism must not be a
way of life for Our dedicated. Our nuns have to have discipline, My children. Do
not bring the world into the convents. I ask that the convents remain free of
all television and radios, and return to their prayer life." -
Our Lady, June 18, 1990
FOR GOOD
"Pastors, you shall be
called and shall you stand before, in judgment, the Eternal Father and say that
your teaching has been pure in His sight? Better that you fear your God than
man! Obedience? Obedience is commanded by the Eternal Father for good, not for
evil!" - Our Lady, May 26,
1976

front and back door... The only real protection
against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My
children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and
back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage
within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your
doors." (6-30-84)

crucifixes.)

to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat
of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the
door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance.

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to
help protect our children. 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. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and
protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water
throughout your household. 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."
