“I ask you not to remain silent
when you meet with wrongdoing, but to speak out and act to correct a situation
that is offensive to your God and destructive to your soul.” - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979
The Catholic Thing
reported on November 12, 2011:
by Robert Royal
I am not a big fan of taking the long view. It may sometimes be
wise, even necessary, in human terms. But I’m far more attracted by what is
probably the most neglected of Jesus’ sayings: “I have come to bring fire on
the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” (Lk. 12:49)
The U. S. bishops are meeting in Baltimore this week for their
annual get-together. The scuttlebutt is that they will be mostly discussing
matters internal to the Church in America. If they were asking my advice –
for some reason, they seem to have forgotten to call – I would strongly urge
that they begin with a collective session oflectio divina about kindling
fires.
I’d also suggest a few other things. To start with, forget about
being nice. It doesn’t work. Be gentlemen. Be kind. But forget nice. As
learned Latinists, you no doubt know that the word comes fromnescius, which
means ignorant. It came, early in modern languages, to mean foolish. Today,
an idiomatic translation might be: clueless.
Kindness, of course, is a different matter entirely. Our Lord was
kind – kind enough to tell people the truth. His combination of hard and
soft is always what we need. Nietzsche, who was brought up among fussing
women in a wishy-washy Protestant pastor’s home, emphasized the need to be
hard. Like all heretics, he had a point, but rode it a bit too hard to the
neglect of other truths.
Christianity, as Nietzsche noted, has been becoming overly
feminized, as has the developed world. Mary is the model Christian and the
people who have been pushing the Communio theology are right: our first
orientation has to be passive, to receive what God is telling us as the
Virgin received the Word into her womb.
Women are quite capable at times of some of the masculine virtues,
of course. But forget the politically correct notion that there are no
specifically male and female virtues. In the normal course of things, when
the refrigerator needs to be moved, it’s father and son, not mother and
daughter, who should do the heavy lifting.
And in the middle of the night, if there’s a noise downstairs that
sounds like a burglar, you don’t nudge your wife and say, “Your turn. I went
down to check last time.” Be men. Think big. Act big, too. Play big-league
ball.
The LCWR, the media, and other softballers will continue to try to
thwart you with talk of patriarchy and the old boys’ club. Be true
gentlemen. Listen to all sincerely, but listen to God more.
Beware of the two great distortions, bordering on heresies, in our
time:
– “Judge not.” Yes, that’s in the Bible, but Christ had
no difficulty also stating the difference between right and wrong.
In fact, you may have noticed that there’s more than a little holy
anger in the Gospels and dire prophetic warnings to individuals and
whole groups. Christ is the model. Are you going to follow Him or
take the easy way, the one that only seems compassionate? (See
“nice” above.)
– “But Jesus welcomed everyone.” Yes, he did, but on His
terms, not theirs. If Christianity means just accepting everybody as
they already are, indeed as they demand to be accepted – evil
capitalists and mean orthodox Christians excepted, of course – why
have a Church at all? The politicians are already quite prepared to
tell everyone (with the same exceptions just noted) how wonderful,
unless it’s “amazing,” they all are. Leave that sort of thing to the
snake-oil salesmen.
Be clear about this. The person who invented the phrase, “It’s
better to light one candle than to curse the darkness,” was no real
Christian. Jesus does both, and Catholics are practitioners of the both/and,
not the either/or.
Do you think Mother Teresa would have thought she’d done enough if
she had just picked up beggars in Calcutta and not also talked about the
callousness of heart and self-indulgence of the wealthy nations who were –
safely, legally, and far from rarely – doing away with their own children in
the womb?
Be prepared to suffer for the Faith. The world will always play the
role it must when it hears the truth. Welcome fair criticism, but accept it
in the right spirit. When John Paul II called for a “purification of memory”
as we approached the beginning of the new Christian millennium, he was
utterly frank about the Church’s past sins. But he never let humility and
truth turn into a kind of “Kick Me” sign on the Church’s back.
Know that many Catholics, and non-Catholics, are with you. Seek
them out. And the best way to do so is to lead from the front. The apostles
knew it was a bad idea, in a sense, for Jesus to go into Jerusalem at the
end. But they saw who He was, what He was willing to risk, and they were
willing to risk much themselves so that at least they could die with Him.
I know several of you, and know that some of you know all this. But
we need you to inspire even more of your fellow bishops.
You have lifetime tenure and jobs that make a real difference. Most
people are stuck in humdrum tasks that don’t seem to mean very much. This is
an exciting moment in Catholic history that offers opportunities for all the
imagination, intelligence, and daring that you can bring to the many
challenges at hand.
So make the most of it. Cherish it. Blessed are you.
"... when a
priest tells you that you do not have to speak up ... because you are judging
another person, and you should love your neighbor, and therefore never set him
up to be judged, you are not judging. If a person is doing wrong, and you tell
him in a kind manner, a charitable manner, that they are committing a sin, and
that they will lose their soul and go to purgatory, or even hell, that is not
judging. You are helping and loving your neighbor. What is love?"

The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
COUNSEL "In charity, you
will counsel, but you must also, My child, admonish the wrongdoer." - Our
Lady, April 9, 1977
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
SIN OF
OMISSION “The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or
hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission
will commit many to hell. Among them there will also be mitres.” -
Our Lady, October 6, 1980
NECESSARY TO
REPEAT? “My child, is it necessary for Me to repeat My words? Have I not reached
the world with an essence of the truth? The truth lies in every man's heart,
for every man has been given an inbuilt conscience from the Father. However,
of your own will can you shut off your contact with your Father, for you
give yourself to the world.” - Our Lady, February 1, 1974
NOT ONE
PERSON “You will always remember, My child and My children, that when the
struggle to remain on the narrow path has 'taken all out of you,' as you
say, you must remember that eventually you will all be held accountable for
your soul. There is not one person who can follow you at the same time over
the veil and stand up for you when you are being judged. For every man,
woman, and child of conscionable age will be their own master towards their
soul. In other words, My children, you must have your God-given conscience
forward and placed before you always.” - Jesus, March 18, 1983
TARNISHED “You must realize, My children, that he who does not recognize My Son as
his Savior shall not be given the keys to the Kingdom. My Son has given you
all in the Father an inborn conscience and guide. You will not be misled by
satan or his agents or by his enticements if you do not throw away the
graces that have been given to you. Your souls will only become tarnished if
you fall from this grace or cast it willfully away. Then you will become
blind, My children. All of you can become blind where you will no longer
recognize truth.” - Our Lady, March 25, 1972
NO OTHER
RECOURSE “There is no other recourse, My children. You have all been given an
inborn conscience. You must reject the plan of satan and not succumb to his
lures. The world about you has become the playground of satan and his
agents. Your world is in darkness; Our Church is in darkness. But We still
carry the light. And all who follow Me, My children, will be led out of this
darkness.” - Our Lady, April 1, 1972
SIN AGAINST
THE HOLY SPIRIT “The greatest sin that man has on his weakening conscience is a sin
against the Holy Spirit. And this is being committed not only in lay life
but in the ranks of My clergy.” - Jesus, May 13, 1978
THE PLAN “You cannot in your human nature understand the plan of your God, your
Creator, but you can with your inborn conscience know in your hearts that
you have misled, O bishops and cardinals, Our sheep! Turn back, I say unto
you, for you shall be punished.” - Jesus, May 20, 1978
FALSE OBEDIENCE
"Pray for your bishops, your priests, who are under great attack by
reason of false obedience." - Our Lady, December 7, 1977
GROSS ERRORS
"Be it known to all men upon earth that the Antichrist has entered now
among you. Be it known to Our bishops and cardinals: (I do not include
Pope John Paul II at this time, because he is under the domination of
his bishops and cardinals.) I look upon My Church at this time, and I
find gross errors.
"I tell you now,
all bishops and cardinals of the world: My Church shall not be defaced.
You shall not defame My name. I will allow this to continue but for a
short time. If you do not acknowledge Me properly before the world, I
assure you I will not acknowledge you before the Father; and you will
not have eternal rest with My Father in Heaven." - Jesus, October 2,
1989
SMOKE OF SATAN "I ask you as your God to cast away your pride. Admit there has been
error. Listen to your Vicar who stated that the smoke of satan had
entered My Church....You are blinded, My hierarchy. You seek to bring
all into My Church, but this must be by conversion. You are allowing all
manner of heretics and the antichrist forces to enter among you. You are
being deceived. Awaken from your slumber." - Jesus, September 28,
1978
FATIMA "How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest
realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that
satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978
EXHORTATION "This dear Holy Father is the one in Rome who is suffering now at
the hands of his own. His bishops will fight bishop against bishop;
there will be cardinals against cardinals; and Satan has set himself in
the midst." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986
FLICKER OF FAITH "Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer for your priests,
cardinals, bishops, your clergy, for a great test, a delusion has been
set amongst them to test their valor, to test their holiness, to test
their fidelity to My Son's Church!" - Our Lady, May 23, 1979

suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of
life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
"I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day
now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all
the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But
do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words
will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

Packet... Our Lord stated we must
have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the

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. This

Crucifix on 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)

of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)

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."
