Bishop Strickland Implores Us to Remain in God’s ‘Wondrous Love’ and Never Abandon the Church(VIDEO)...

REMAIN STEADFAST
"My Son placed upon earth representatives. They will counsel in truth or answer to the Father for their fallacies, for their abominations, for their half-truths, and for their falling into all the false modes of modernism and humanism which We find prevalent among many.
"We ask all to remain steadfast and do not leave their home parishes. The heart of the House of God is the coming of My Son through the Consecration of His Host. "My children, I repeat: do not leave your parish church, but remain as an example. The Eucharist, My Son, is always with you. Comfort Him, as His heart is torn by the many abominations being committed in His House and by many of His clergy.
"It will not be an easy road for you and all who carry the light. The forces of darkness are great upon your world now, but remember, My children, at the end of this battle, it will be victory for Heaven and all who have given themselves as children of God and remain faithful and true." - Our Lady, March 18, 1973

LifeSiteNews.com reported on April 28, 2024:

On this week’s special two-part episode of The Bishop Strickland Show, Bishop Joseph Strickland discusses why we must not leave the Church over scandal, Christ as the fulfillment of the Commandments, and the Eucharist.

The episode consists of clips from Strickland’s recent talks, primarily from a spiritual warfare conference held in California last month.

In the first clip of the first part, Strickland says we should not leave the Church because of scandal. He begins his remarks noting that both bishops (during their consecrations) and priests (when installed at parishes) promise to defend the deposit of faith. He further says that if doing so gets them in trouble, they should get in trouble, since the deposit of faith must be guarded.

After alluding to the differences between men and women, Strickland adds that all must defend the deposit of faith: “In this confused time where the roles of men and women are blurred by too many, let us be reminded of that basic charge we all share. And for you who are husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, to know how much you need each other, to do the guarding together, to urge each other on, and to inspire your pastors.”

Speaking to the concept of spiritual warfare, the bishop observes that one of the main battles we face is defending the faith. He further observes that too many are tempted to leave the Catholic Church, to which he says, “We must, with our lives, with our witness, with our words, with our energy, do all we can to say, ‘Never! Never leave the Church, the Body of Christ.”

The second clip featured in the first part sees Strickland discuss how Christ is the fulfillment of the Commandments.

For the bishop, it is “absolutely essential” for us to see that we are in a war, with the battle being waged against Christ and the Commandments. Speaking to the Commandments themselves, Strickland recalls that Christ came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it: “He is the living covenant, and so out of fidelity to Christ, we have to all be willing to engage in this war.”

The greatest warrior for the Catholic faith and life in Christ is Our Lady, who gave us our “marching orders.” Strickland says “the Blessed Virgin Mary is the model of the warriors that we’re called to be. Not bellicose in the sense of using weapons that destroy, but strong in the truth that sets us free and makes us live.”

We must, furthermore, “stand strong” in the truth that is Christ, fighting the spiritual war even in the “simplest” and subtlest of ways, loving our children as Our Lady loved Christ. The bishop adds that her greatest gift is “that she was simply there, at her Son’s side.”

Lastly, Strickland says one of the best ways we can enter the spiritual war is by fervently praying for our priests to be Marian and Eucharistic. For him, we must pray especially that priests “embrace” the Domine, non sum dignus of the Latin liturgy, recalling that we will never be worthy, but that Christ died to make us worthy.

“We are obligated to honor His death and resurrection by seeking to turn from sin and to live this deposit of faith that He incarnates for us,” he says.

The second part of the episode is part of a homily on the Eucharist that Strickland gave during a Lenten Mass, as well as another talk from a different spiritual warfare conference – this one dealing with St. Joseph as the Terror of Demons.

Strickland begins by addressing how we may have failed to live up to our Lenten resolutions, but he notes there may be something good in falling short after setting up “high goals” so we can reach perfection. Even if we know we are unlikely to reach perfection, we should still strive for it.

Similarly, there are those that maintain that the ideal for approaching the Eucharist is “too idealistic.” Strickland responds that one can never be too idealistic when discussing entry into the Sacred Heart. “It is the model of challenge for all of us to enter into this way of the suffering servant that is Jesus Christ,” he says.

The bishop examines the readings from the Mass in this light, beginning with Jeremiah the prophet. Strickland observes that Jeremiah, the other prophets, and the Israelites likely had no conception of how God would fulfill the prophecies He gave them, not just sending the Messiah and greatest of prophets, but sending His Son, who in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity is Himself the foundation of the New Covenant. Meanwhile, people today and throughout Church history “fail to really live and appreciate the wondrous love of God and what He offers us in His own Son.”

Upon inviting us to more fully embrace the reality of Christ’s Eucharistic Presence, Strickland turns his attention to a reading from the Epistle to the Hebrews, beginning with the phrase, “In the days when Christ Jesus was in the flesh,” which to him “says very simply but profoundly exactly what we believe” about the Incarnation and Redemption.

Examining the passage, Strickland observes that we know Christ in the Flesh through the Eucharist. He encourages us to pray for each other and all in the Church, remarking that “it is a travesty that every Catholic doesn’t say with a resounding ‘Amen’ that we believe and know that in this Tabernacle, in the Communion, in the Eucharist we celebrate, truly the Body and Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ is with us.”

ONLY TRUE RELIGION
"O My children, I will not go into a long discourse now with you about charity and love for your neighbor, but you must understand: you cannot judge your neighbor. You must pray for them. However, you cannot become weak and permissive. You must stand forth as bearers of the light, carriers of the truth. You have been given by your baptism entrance into the only true religion upon earth, the Roman Catholic Church under My Son, Jesus. Though man in his arrogance and pride has forgotten His role and His rule, you must carry it forward. Retain the Faith and the truth in the hearts of mankind." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978

DO NO ABANDON
"Do not abandon My Son any longer by rejecting His Church. Do not judge My Son's Church by man. The foundation is My Son, Jesus. And though the walls may develop cracks, the foundation is solid. Will you not remain and patch these cracks, My children? We do not wish that you break apart into small groups of discord. No schisms must take place in My Son's Church. For all who are baptized a Roman Catholic must die Roman Catholics to enter Heaven. A rejection of the papacy, a rejection of the Faith because of human reasoning shall not be accepted by the Eternal Father in Heaven. Remain faithful and true forever unto the end." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven." Matt. 10:32-33

The 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:

ESTABLISHED BY JESUS
"There are many deceptions taking place among you, and one being the falsification of the manner of the salvation of souls. When I was upon earth, I established the rules and I gave you My Church, My House. However, now I watch as many have gone forward with itching ears and novelty, and they are setting upon the world a new religion." - Jesus, May 20, 1978

MUST DIE WITHIN THE FOLD
"We do not want division within the Church. That will solve nothing. You cannot separate yourself from the Holy Father in Rome. And once you are baptized as a Roman Catholic, you must die within the fold; you cannot reject it. There are many false prophets going throughout the world now seeking to take your soul to satan. They come as angels of light." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

ONE TRUE CHURCH
"My child and My children, you are all My children. I judge you not by color or race, and I do not judge you by your creed; however, should the knowledge of the One True Church be given to you, and the way to Heaven along the narrow road be given to you, you will follow it or you will be rejected." - Our Lady, August 21, 1985

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

YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
"As in the past, rejection has been the start of a fallen man. Sin has become a way of life with many. You live in a delusion if you believe that you can offend the Eternal Father and then gain eternal life in the Kingdom. No, I say to you: many are called, but few are chosen.
   "Ask and you shall receive, believe and you will be given the way. But you must merit the Kingdom. Your birthright was a start, but you must make your way to the Kingdom. Others may gain these graces for you by prayer and acts of sacrifice, but you will accept or reject the key." - Jesus, May 26, 1976

GREATEST OF GIFTS
"You were given the grace, the greatest of gifts to mankind, to be born into or come into by conversion, My Son's Church. And now you go about, O you of little faith, to chip away and chop at the walls until it crumbles. But you shall not remove the foundation, for the foundation is My Son. You are recrucifying Him in His own House." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

ONE TRUE FOUNDATION
"Many questions arise, My child, about My Son's House. There is only one true foundation--that is the House of My Son with Peter as the first ruler and head, and now your Vicar, Paul VI. All others have protested against the law and rule and broken away. They must be returned to the fold. However, My children, you are proceeding along a path of delusion. You will not bring these souls back to My Son's House by changing to meet their standards. Man must change to meet the standards of his God!" - Our Lady, December 6, 1974

REMAIN WITHIN THE FOLD
"My children, do you who have left the road and entered into apostate religions, do you not realize that you have renounced your chance to enter into the Kingdom of your God, Heaven? My children, all who are baptized by the waters of life must remain within the fold!" - Our Lady, September 28, 1978

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

“DO NOT DESERT MY CHURCH”
"My children, you will all recognize the faces of evil. Satan has entered into the highest ranks of My Church. Pray now for your priests: your bishops, your cardinals, your clergy. Many prayers are needed, for many are on now the road to perdition and taking many others with them.
    "My children, do not cast aside your sacramentals. They are your armor in the days ahead. Do not desert My Church. Do not judge it by the man who has stood there in ignorance or in pride and changed it until it will almost be unrecognizable. I am still with you, My children. Do not leave. You must stay and fight. In this manner, My children, shall the sheep be separated from the goats. It is a form of cleansing." - Jesus, July 15, 1977

LEADERS LAX, CORRUPT
"Homosexuality is rampant throughout your country and all of the nations of the world. Your leaders are lax and corrupt. There are very few voices with authority crying out against the sins that shall bring destruction upon your nation and many nations of the world." Our Lady of the Roses, July 14, 1979

"YOU WILL BE REMOVED"
"I am your God, and I say unto you: continue to change My Church and you will fall! You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals. All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism. Nay, no! I say unto you as your God. You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." Jesus, May 23, 1979

WOE TO THE PASTORS
"My children, can I bring you a message of joy when My heart is torn by the murders and the loss of respect for your elders? Children against parents, parents going about, running to and fro, marrying and giving in marriage, living adulterously, consorting with evil, with homosexuals and lesbians! What manner of life do you show for your children to make example of? Woe to the parent that scandalizes his child. It is better if that parent had died in his mother's womb! Woe to the pastors that scandalize the children! They shall burn in an eternity of hell for their deception!" Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1977

READ YOUR BIBLES
"Your word of homosexuality can be explained by the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Read in your Bibles or consult your clergy. Find yourselves, My children, a humble, pious clergy. Many have fallen away from the Faith." Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1992

PASTORS HELD RESPONSIBLE
"We hold the pastors of My Son's House, We hold them as being responsible for the fall of the children. Be ye warned now, My children, that woe to the man who has this responsibility upon his conscience and his soul. Scandals have been brought into the lives of your children. Perversion, homosexuality, immorality, perverted sex, My children-where shall you stop but at the abyss!" Our Lady of the Roses, December 7, 1977

"I am your God, and I say unto you: continue to change My Church and you will fall! You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals. All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism. Nay, no! I say unto you as your God. You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." - Jesus, May 23, 1979

SATAN ENTERED THE CHURCH
"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

CAPITULATION
"My children, the forces of 666, the forces of darkness now are gathering to do full war with all of the children of God in the light. It will be a battle that will call for great spirit, great sacrifice. And one must retain the knowledge of the Faith, for it will give you necessary strength in the battle.
    "In Rome, the Eternal City of the hills, My children, the forces are gathering to bring about the capitulation of the Seat of Peter to communism and atheism, all promoted in the name of humanism. My children, all this is coming about fast because man has neglected sacrifice and prayer.
    "A delusion has been set upon mankind. The Eternal Father has deemed that man shall go along now and reap what he has sown. Man is forever searching for peace--peace of heart, peace in armaments. But the more he cries for peace the farther he flies from it. There shall be no peace upon earth unless man returns to his God.
    "The state of your world has been reduced by the immorality. The state of your world is capitulating now to all of the forces of the octopus that will seek to bring about a one-world religion and a one-world government under a supreme dictator of evil." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

TRAITORS IN THE VATICAN
"Your newspapers, even those who call themselves Catholic, have fallen. They have now been given to the enemies of God, for when they seek to destroy the Church of the Son of God, they are enemies of God, and they are of the Antichrist.
    "Make it known, my child, that you all now are proceeding in the days of the Revelations. All will come to pass as given in the Book of life. There are many seers now throughout the world who will carry the message forward. Many must accept martyrdom, but the glory beyond the veil far exceeds the suffering of earth time.
    "Control--you must know, my child, and tell the world that satan has control now of many major positions in the House of God, in the Eternal City of Rome. Traitors surround your Vicar. His sufferings are great.
    "Already they have chosen his successor. But pray, my children, pray much that he does not be removed, for woe to the world! The crucifixion of the Mystical Body of Christ! Woe to mankind!" - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

HAVEN FOR HERETICS
"Hasten, harken, and listen! The Message from Heaven is going throughout your world. The Queen of Heaven, your Mother, has come to your earth to bring you the admonition from Heaven. Each man shall accept or reject this message in his free will. The sheep shall be separated from the goats.
    "Rome, Eternal City, the light is dim. Rome, haven for heretics and all manners of abomination, shall you not cleanse yourself before the Eternal Father places His hand upon you in chastisement? You have opened your doors to all manner of evil spirits.
    "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

ONLY THROUGH HUMBLENESS
"My children, the forces of evil are gathering in the Eternal City of Rome. You must all pray a constant vigilance. Your Holy Father has accepted a heavy cross.
    "The Message from Heaven has entered upon the Eternal City. It is only through humbleness of heart and prayer that those who have a high station in My Son's House will understand the errors they have fallen into and will turn back now while there is time. They have consorted with the enemies of God. The road to hell is often paved with good intentions, My children, but you have been deluded by many.
    "In your striving to bring peace and brotherhood, you have lost your way, O pastors of My Son's houses. There shall be, without prayer, a battle: bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, and all that is rotten shall fall." - Our Lady, May 29, 1976

GREAT DARKNESS COVERING ROME
"There is a great spirit of darkness covering the Eternal City of Rome. I, your Mother, as Mediatrix between God and man, implore you now to turn back, for you are creating your own destruction. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!
    "My children, pastors in My Son's House, you must not compromise your Faith! What manner of church are you creating? Who has yielded My Son into the hands of the enemies of God?
    "My children, the time is growing short. There are many victim souls now in your world who have carried the balance, the balance that grows heavily to the left. When the peak of iniquity is reached, know that the final cleansing of mankind shall be at hand!
    "My children, I cannot, as your Mother, refrain from bringing to you the facts. I give you hope in My Son. Remain with Him at the tabernacles in your world. I bring you confidence from My Son, that if you persevere you will overcome all of the evils now rampant in your world." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

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.

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."
