US Priest: Our ‘Biggest Misjudgment’ Amid COVID was to Close Churches, Suspend Sunday Obligation...

WILL STAND
"Do not be deluded, My children, by the agents of satan among you in human form who preach doctrines of devils. The truth has been given to mankind through the ages. The Holy Roman Catholic Church of My Son will stand. The members shall be reduced to few. Only a remnant, My child, shall carry the banner Faithful and True. But the gates of hell shall fight a heavy battle against My Son's Church, but they shall not succeed." - Our Lady, May 14, 1977

DOORS WILL CLOSE
"My children, My heart bleeds; I cry bitter tears to see the manner in which mankind has reduced My Son's House of worship and adoration to a meeting place of all manner of demons and abominations, defilement of My Son's eternal Body and Blood.
    "My children, unless you restore My Son's House to its former glory, with holiness and piety, discipline and dedication, the doors will close, for a House in darkness wears a band of death about it.
    "My children, the gates of hell shall not prevail against My Son's House. My Son is always with you. If you are seeking Him, He shall not abandon you, My little children. Ask and you will be given the way: believe and you will find the light." - Our Lady, July 25, 1977

DESTRUCTION OF SOULS AND THE CHURCH
"Do not leave holy Church. Do not fall away from the Church for the sins of man. Only My Rosary holds back the darkness.
    "Your way of life in your country has been planned by satan for the destruction of all souls, with the destruction of the holy Church of My Son and the divinity of My Son. The gates of hell will not prevail against My Son's Church!" - Our Lady, September 14, 1970

LifeSiteNews.com reported on August 25, 2020:

by Rev. Michael P. Orsi

We’re certainly not through with the “Great Pandemic.” However, we’ve reached a point where we can reflect on some of the ways in which we’ve reacted to the contagion as a Christian community.

As they say, “hindsight is 20/20.” So we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves over how we’ve dealt with a worldwide crisis involving so many unknowns and scary possibilities.

One thing that’s clear is that, from the beginning, we adopted a “scientific mentality” in our decision-making processes. That’s understandable, since the threats we faced were medical, and the primary guidance received was from Dr. Fauci and his health-science colleagues.

But all along, we’ve had far too little concern for the transcendent dimension of life. Consequently, spiritual health has suffered. Probably our biggest misjudgment was the decision to close our churches and suspend the Sunday Mass obligation.

We could have maintained a regular worship schedule, or something like it. Reasonable, sensible adjustments would have provided a significant measure of protection.

Anyone whose health was compromised, or who feared they might be endangered by coming to Mass (or endangering others), would have had an automatic dispensation from attending — which is the Church’s regular, commonsense rule anyway.

Instead, we’ve tended to take a similar “scientific” approach to worship and devotion. Very clever use has been made of video streaming, social networking, and other online applications. This is to the good, in that it’s introduced pastors who were behind the communications curve to ways in which technology can supplement traditional ministry.

The downside is that people were still denied the encouragement of sharing their faith in community. They were left to feel cut off from their fellow believers, and kept from reception of the Eucharist, an experience that’s caused much emotional deprivation.

We also should have placed greater emphasis on prayer, fasting, and other pious practices — even organizing rosary processions (properly distanced). All of these would have called upon the long history of intercessory prayer so well established in Church tradition.

Such expressions of sacramentality have been tried in scattered parts of the country. I know of one Michigan priest who’s been making a weekly march through his parish territory carrying the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance. The effort actually yielded increased parish membership during the lockdown.

These kinds of projects haven’t been undertaken nearly enough. They would have helped to calm fears and bound Catholics more tightly together in faith, even as we stood apart physically.

I don’t wish to disparage medicine or diminish the importance of science and technology. Judeo-Christian tradition has always honored human intellect and its capacity to develop ways of lengthening life and making it better.

But in our anxiety about this new and mysterious plague, and in a well intentioned effort to operate our parishes responsibly, we’ve been too ready to compromise faith for the sake of civic duty. Now that seems almost laughable, in light of the massive numbers of people filling the streets in various protests and demonstrations (not to mention riots) perpetrated during the pandemic.

I realize that in many places keeping up something closer to full operations could have meant defying, state or municipal mandates. A few non-Catholic churches did it — though they didn’t always do it wisely, with some deaths as the price of their resistance.

Perhaps we were being called to risk a certain kind of legal martyrdom for the sake of religious liberty. Many people have paid a price for our reluctance. And there might be long-term consequences of the failure to stand our ground.

We’re seeing signs of it already in the vandalism that’s occurred to some church buildings and religious statuary. These incidents can be understood only as efforts to intimidate Catholics into silence on certain issues and movements that faithful people would be expected to oppose.

The upcoming election is also a factor. Joe Biden touts his Catholicism in order to blur a long history of abortion advocacy. Kamala Harris continues to demonstrate her well known opposition to Church teaching. And our willingness to curtail ministry for the sake of public health may suggest that we can be muzzled in other ways.

Fortunately, there are indications that pastors of conservative outlook may be questioning their traditional aversion to preaching on political topics. As lines harden over the coming months, parishes could hear some interesting homilies.

But politics aside, as we look ahead to the next phase of living with contagion (until we can overcome it completely), we need to bear in mind all we’ve learned so far. We should also remember that death, and the threat of death, provides opportunities to ponder the reality of our limited time on Earth and our responsibility to spend that time in ways pleasing to God. We’re much too inclined to deny death, both as individuals and as a society.

In the Church’s attempts to celebrate life and keep people’s spirits up during these past trying months, we didn’t make nearly enough of the “teaching moment” nature provided. And that has been a great loss during the “Great Pandemic.”

We can do better.

STAY AND FIGHT
"My children, parents of the young, remember: you have nothing to gain but sorrow if you neglect the rearing of your children in sanctity and holiness. Do not expect to find this holiness in My House now, My children, but do not run away. Stay and fight! Retain My Church! The numbers will be reduced to the few, but better, My children, there be few with quality than quantity with nothing." - Jesus, May 14, 1977

ALMOST A COMPLETE DESTRUCTION
The pastors, the shepherds whom We have given control over Our flocks of young souls, are leading many into error, and placing these young souls on the road to eternal damnation.
    "You must not, as shepherds, compromise My Son's House. I say compromise, because you are contaminating the pure waters; you are bringing in errors that can lead to almost--I say almost--a complete destruction of My Son's Church.
    "Recognize, My pastors, the signs of your times. You have fallen asleep. Delusion has been set upon you because of pride and arrogance. O Our sleeping pastors, you have fallen into error because of pride and arrogance." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

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.

"YOU ARE RECRUCIFYING MY SON"
"What manner of abominations do you, Our pastors, permit in My Son's House? You are recrucifying My Son. You work like rodents to destroy. You are subversive to undermine My Son's House. Restore it before it is too late!
    "Can you not strip yourselves, O pastors, of your pride? Can you not humble yourselves and admit you have worked in error, rationalizing sin, rationalizing error to the destruction of the young souls and those entrusted to your care? Pastors, shepherds, you are scattering Our sheep!
    "The prophets who have been sent to you in the past ages of time, they gave you the building from the foundation, My Son. You are allowing the walls to crumble. You are changing the Book of life, your Bible, to suit your own purposes. Do not allow those who do not have the grace of the light to write and rewrite the Bible." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

REMOVE THE BLINDNESS
"You, pastors of little faith, you have become symbols of worship among yourselves. Man is now building his own cross. Shall you set up man to be worshipped in the body? And what has become of the soul?
    "The Eternal Father will chastise those He loves. Are you, in your arrogance and pride, wishing this upon mankind? O My children, take the blindness from your hearts, and look upon the destruction you have wrought within My Church, within the hearts of those who trusted you to guide them. You have taken this trust given to you by Heaven, and what have you done? You have cast it aside, and you, too, My pastors, shall meet the fate of the fallen angels. Many mitres shall fall into hell!" - Jesus, September 28, 1976

SOUL DESTRUCTION
"I have heard the words of scorn and derision that have followed the message that I give to the world, My child. It is sad that this warning is being ignored by many. I have come as a Mediatrix between God and man. I have been sent by the Father to warn you that unless you change your ways and go back onto the narrow road set forth by the Father, I can no longer hold back the punishing hand of My Son. There are many seers throughout the world now who have been given the light and are instruments for the dispersal of My message throughout the world.
    "Priests in the houses of My Son, why do you waste your time trying to disprove My warnings to the world? You are rationalizing My supernatural manifestations. Pride and arrogance have set many onto the road to destruction, soul destruction.
    "It is sad, My child, that those who have the most power to do good are using this power now to destroy the young souls. Shout, My child, My message from the rooftops. The time is growing short. There will be a gross, immense, terrifying to many, Warning to mankind. And if mankind does not heed this Warning, a great Chastisement coming from the heavens shall be set upon mankind." - Our Lady, December 24, 1974

PASTORS HANDING OVER CHURCH TO ENEMIES OF GOD
"I repeat: you must pray for your bishops, pray for your cardinals--you who claim you are members of the Church of My Son, His House upon earth. Many pastors have buried their heads in the sands. They are blind of spirit, and why? Because they do not pray. They have given themselves over to worldly pursuits. They do not pray. They do not stay in the spirit but have become of the world, seeking gold and silver and honor and power among men, until in their pursuits they are handing over My Son's Church to the enemies of God.
    "Do you not recognize, My children, pastors in My Son's House, that satan is among you? He has come as an angel of light, deluding you with promises of humanism and modernism for mankind, promises of success and the salvation of souls for whom? For Lucifer!
    "When one becomes blind of spirit, you walk then in darkness. A house and a church in darkness, My children, wears a band of death about it! A church that falls into heresy and continued error will close its doors." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

WHEN THEY SUCCUMB TO THE DARKNESS
"Pray much for your rulers, your government, your schools, and My Son's houses throughout the world. A House, a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. Many will close their doors when they succumb to the darkness. Pray, My child, a constant vigilance of prayer. Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice, My voice cries, for the time grows short. The sands are running out, My child." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

A SOCIALISTIC CHURCH
"Unless you restore My House, My Church, to its former glory your doors will close, your clergy will be persecuted, and only a remnant shall be left. Is this what you want, you who consort and try to form a socialistic church upon earth? No angels are building it with you; they are demons." - Jesus, July 25, 1979

MANY SHEPHERDS GIVEN TO THE WORLD
"My houses upon earth, churches, will undergo a great trial. It will be truly a test of faith. Many of My shepherds have given themselves to the world of the flesh and satan.
    "My Mother has gone throughout your world with a warning from the Eternal Father for mankind. She has met with much resistance because the hearts of many are hardened, and their hearts are blinded to the truth.
    "My Mother extended to you the way. You cannot leave this way and seek another, for you are fast then going into the darkness.
    "All My churches upon earth--all that go into darkness will fall. All that descend into darkness will close their doors. A House in darkness wears a band of death about it." - Jesus, June 5, 1975

"YOU SAY NOW THERE IS NO HELL"
"You say now there is no hell. Where do you think Lucifer was cast? And those who followed him? He was cast from the Kingdom of the Eternal Father, as you, too, shall be cast from the Kingdom. And where did he go? Deep into earth, setting up a kingdom, gathering the straying sheep by error, deception, heresy, untruth, delusion.
    "No! You shall not mislead My sheep; you shall not open My doors and greet a separated brethren with their errors and their corruption. You must convert, but you shall not convert by compromising the Faith.
    "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! Your times are such as have never been seen in the times of mankind. You sin in a manner far more foul than in the times of Sodom and Gomorrha. And whatever shall become of you? As in the time of the Flood the world was cleansed, you shall receive a baptism of fire.
    "Can I come to you--may I enter your hearts with words of cheer while My heart is torn with grief? The abominations committed in My House far exceed the measures of sacrifice mankind does now.
    "Clergy in My houses, where are your straying sheep? Can you not reprimand the evil doer? Shall you consort with satan, allowing all manner of foul conduct and abominations in My House? Cleanse your House now, pastor, for you are being judged. The Eternal Father looks into your heart; your time grows short.
    "All that is rotten will fall, and a Church or House in dark­ness wears a band of death about it. A House in darkness will close its doors." - Jesus, November 1, 1975

EXPERIMENTATION, HUMANISM, MODERNISM
"Bishops, awaken from your slumber! In your permissive behavior, you are sending many souls onto the road to hell! Unless you turn back from these ways that displease the Eternal Father, you, too, shall carry your mitres into hell.
    "Shall My Son return and find even a small flicker of faith left in the hearts of mankind?
    "Heresy, O mournful heresy! Abominations and filth seeping like cesspools, overflowing into My Son's Church! Corruption, evils diabolical! Cleanse My Son's Church now, or He shall return and take you in hand! He shall cast you from His Church. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. The doors will close. But the foundation, My Son, shall never be lost to mankind! And you pastors who have set yourselves to discredit facts of the existence of punishment and hell, shall you receive your lesson the hard way?
    "I say now, as your Mother--I plead to you, as your Mother, in the short time given to you, to restore My Son's Church!
    "Experimentation, humanism, modernism are all coming from the deep pit of hell! The way to the Kingdom is a simple way filled with thorns--meaning, My children, that you must strip your human nature of all corruption and corruptive forces and searchings. You may live in the world, but you must not succumb to the world. You must not darken your spirit." - Our Lady, May 15, 1976
