Obama's America 2016


 Dinesh D'Sousa, President of King's College in New York City, attempts to explain who Barack Obama is. He digs down into the roots of Obama's heritage and taps upon the evolution of Obama's philosophy. D'Sousa also presents the psychological mind of America, its purpose of why Obama was elected in the first place.

The movie is based upon the book Dreams From My Father (authored by Barack Obama in 1995), interviews with various close associations of Barack, his mother Ann Dunham, and his father Barack Obama Sr. and other family relatives, as well as the results pulled from the research of Obama's actions and decisions made as President of the United States.

"Restless Heart"

This Fall, 2012, a new movie is coming out. It is about Saint Augustine, one of the greatest Doctors of the Church, son of Saint Monica, and who once lived the life of a pagan. It is said that Saint Monica prayed, with a sorrowful heart for her wayward son for 20 years. The fruit of patience , tears and prayers produced conversion of heart and a Master of Faith, for the Catholic Church.

"For The Greater Glory"

"For the Greater Glory", a true story about the Cristados, a rebellion in Mexico soon after Russia's revolution in Russia in 1917. President Callas of Mexico was removing the Religious Fredom from his people. Mexican Catholics were persecuted, priests were killed if they continued to say Mass.   If you have not seen this movie, you must see it.

Peter O'Toole's performance sets the stage for the events that lead into the Cristado War.
                                                            Peter O'Toole as Fr. Christopher

GENERAL ENRIQUE GOROSTIETA, who lead those rebelling agianst President Callas, was portrayed by Andy Garcia.
                                                                       


Jose Luis Sanchez Del Rio, the young boy, having already been beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2005, is up for canonization. Mauricio Kuri could not play a sweeter young boy facing the ugly atrocities which led to the Cristado War.


People of all faiths need to be reminded what happens when a Government no longer allows its people to practice its faith with Freedom. Christians are reminded the Mandate Christ gave, to teach all Nations about Christ's Kingdom. This movie is a must see movie!!!

   Viva Cristo Rey!

As Forthnight for Freedom begins today, in response to the HHS Mandate in the United States, Catholics are praying for the removal of this burden as it goes against the consciences and teachings of the Catholic Church, and just as seriously, it is an attack on the Freedom of Religion.

Priest and Doctor of the Church, Saint Anthony of Padua

Within one year of his death, Saint Anthony was canonized Saint. He died on June 13th, 1231.


                                                  Incorrupt tongue of Saint Anthony of Padua
                                                        Basilica of St Anthony, Padua, Italy

"O blessed tongue, which has always blessed God and caused others to bless Him, now it appears evident how great were your merits before God!" 1263, Words of Saint Bonaventure when St Anthony's tongue was discovered incorrupt.

Christ the Blessed was willing to give proof of the great sanctity of His most faithful servant St. Anthony, as well as to show how men ought to listen devoutly to his preaching by means of irrational animals. On one occasion, amongst others, he made use of fish to reprove the folly of faithless heretics, even as we read in the Old Testament that in ancient times he reproved the ignorance of Balaam by the mouth of an ass.

St. Anthony was once in Rimini [Italy] where there were a great number of heretics. Wishing to lead them to the light of the veritable Faith and the way of truth, he preached to them for several days and reasoned with them on the Catholic Faith and Holy Scriptures. They not only resisted his words, but became more hardened of heart and obstinate, refusing to listen to him any longer.

Seeing this, St. Anthony, by divine inspiration, went down to the shore where the river runs into the sea. From the bank between the river and the sea, he started to preach to the fish in the name of God, and said:

The fish come to listen to the preaching of St. Anthony
"Listen to the word of God, O ye fishes of the sea and of the river, seeing that the faithless heretics refuse to do so."

No sooner had he spoken these words than suddenly so great a multitude of fish, both great and small, approached the bank on which he stood, that never before had so many been seen either in that sea or that river. All kept their heads out of the water and attentively gazed at the face of St. Anthony. All were arranged in perfect order and most peacefully, the smaller ones in front near the bank, after them came those a little bigger, and last of all, where the water was deeper, the largest.

When they had placed themselves in this order, St. Anthony began to preach to them most solemnly, saying:

“My brother fishes, you are greatly obliged, as much as in your power, to return thanks to your Creator Who has given you so noble an element for your dwelling; for you have at your choice both sweet water and salt water. He gave you many places of refuge from the storms; He gave you yet more the pure and transparent water and the food for you to live. When God, your bountiful and kind Creator, made you, He gave you as a command to increase and multiply, and He gave you His blessing. In the universal Deluge, all the other creatures perished, and you alone were preserved from all harm. He gave you fins to enable you to go where you will.


“To you it was granted, by God’s command, to conserve the life of the Prophet Jonah, and then after three days, to throw him back, safe and sound, on dry land. It was you that gave the tribute-coin to Our Lord Jesus Christ when, because of his poverty, he had not wherewith to pay it. Finally, by a singular mystery, you served as nourishment of the eternal King Jesus Christ, before and after His Resurrection.


“Because of all these things, you are bound to glorify and bless the Lord who has given you blessings, so many and so much greater than the other creatures.”

Hearing these words and teachings of St. Anthony, the fish opened their mouths and bowed their heads, and with these and other signs of reverence they glorified God as much as was in their power. Then, St. Anthony, seeing the great reverence of the fish towards God their Creator, rejoiced greatly in spirit, and said in loud voice:

“Blessed be the eternal God, for the fishes of the sea glorify Him more than the men without faith, and the animals without reason listen to His word with greater attention than the sinful heretics.”

As St. Anthony continued to preach, the multitude of fish increased, and not one left the place it occupied.


At Rimini he was heckled by a heretic who denied the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. St. Anthony challenged the heretic to let his donkey choose between a file of sumptuous animal fodder or the Eucharist. As St. Anthony held the Blessed Sacrament, the donkey approached and knelt in adoration.





 
The news of this miracle spread and the people of the city made haste to go and see it, including those hardened heretics we have spoken of above. The latter, seeing so marvelous and manifest a miracle, were touched in their hearts, and looked for St. Anthony to hear his words.

Then St. Anthony began to expound to them the Catholic Faith. So nobly did he preach that all those heretics were converted and returned to the true Catholic Faith. The faithful, also, were greatly comforted and strengthened in their faith.

After this, St. Anthony dismissed the fish with a blessing, and they all departed, giving marvelous signs of joy as they went. The people also, filled with joy, returned to the city. Then St. Anthony remained some days in Rimini, preaching and doing great spiritual good in the souls of his hearers.

COME HOLY SPIRIT: THE ARTS BREAKING BOUNDARIES AND PRAYER

                                     

THE ARTS


Rita Jahanforuz, a Persian born woman whose family moved to Israel when she was little, sings a message of Peace. She remakes Persian Oldies in Tel Aviv and apparently she is a big hit in Tehran, where underground parties are playing her music. The cultural arts, the heart of a people, unifies a people, tells their story and exposes their soul. John Paul II, freed his polish people reminding them to be not afraid to be who they were meant to be. He repeated this same theme to artists around the world. He recognized the great gift of an artist, that empowered a person to achieve freedom. Again and again he challenged the chains of inordinate power, with the words "Be Not Afraid", "Be Not Afraid".        



Rita singing   <--  click here


When looking up RITA, she apparently has done a few concerts in New York City, Beverly Hills, California at an Israeli Leadership Council, and Washington DC, where she sang "Let Freedom Ring" at Lincoln's Memorial.


On the extreme left, the Communist Party undergoes a transformation,  holding onto its same ideas, but changes in its appearance. The Communist Party-USA admitted on video that The United States of America is a very religious country.  They use a movie, who American actor Mattew Modine, produced called "Jesus Is A Commie". It is a short film presenting quotes and ideas that produce an image that Jesus was a Communist.
                                     
A very conniving approach to recruiting the Youth of America, however many times the Catholic Church has spoken out against Socialism and Communism. http://www.vatican.va/ .  You would think the Catholic Church with its many services across the world helping over a billion people, the poor and the afflicted, would know the devastating effects of Communism upon humanity.


2425 The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with "communism" or "socialism." She has likewise refused to accept, in the practice of "capitalism," individualism and the absolute primacy of the law of the marketplace over human labor.207 Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds; regulating it solely by the law of the marketplace fails social justice, for "there are many human needs which cannot be satisfied by the market."208 Reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended. Taken from The Catechism of the Catholic Church

So, William Jasper of  "The NewAmerican" had this to say about CPUSA's use of an Episcopalian priest, Rev. Tim Yeager:
"The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), naturally, finds Modine’s new film “inspiring,” and uses it in a live-stream online video of a recent presentation entitled, Was Jesus a Communist?  The program featured Communist Party functionary Roberta Wood as host, along with Rev. Tim Yeager and Pat Flagg as the commentators.
Rev. Yeager, of Grace Episcopal Church in Oak Park, Illinois, is Chairperson of the Communist Party USA’s Religion Commission. Pat Flagg is a member of the Commission. Yeager is also Financial Secretary/Treasurer of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local Union 2320. In addition to his national CPUSA and union activism, Yeager is also an activist in Chicago-area politics, such as the Occupy Wall Street movement.Jesus is a Commie, the movie, is shown in many cities across the USA."

Video from CPUSA featuring Rev. Yeager admitting Jesus was a communist and how the people of the United States are a religious people.

CPUSA of course also realizes that they must also change their language, to appeal to the youth, so as not to appear as the old Communist Party the United States opposed in the 1950's. This is stated in YCPUSA.

"We have to recognize and put into context the language that Lenin uses in the text. During Lenin’s time period, there was still armed struggle being waged in different countries and the Soviet Union was just coming out of a civil war. The language and phrases that Lenin uses such as “iron discipline” of the Party and the “ruthless” struggle against the capitalist class reflects the climate of intense and deadly struggle that was taking place. Today, we would not use this type of language when discussing the work of the Party and the types of struggles that we are involved in.

Making all of these connections is more of an art than a science and the world communist movement continues to debate, discuss and develop the ideas started within Lenin’s work."
Taken from Young Communist League USA http://yclusa.org/article/articleview/1832/1/319/ 


The Arts as you can see can be used to express the beauty of God, His Love for mankind,  and Love between humanity, or used as a tool to disillusion those seeking Truth. 


                                         

PRAYER



The Arts must  be guided by prayer, the communication to and with God, our Creator, otherwise one will be a wreckage on the surf of life.
May the prayers of those who are calling on God's protection and assistance for Religious Freedom, for Life of the Unborn babies, for the Sanctity of Marriage between one man and one woman,  inspire those in the arts to "Be Not Afraid" to reign in the Culture of Peace and Life.

Come, Holy Spirit
English
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

"IN THIS SIGN, YOU SHALL CONQUER"


I happen to come across this and thought I would share. It has to do with the Holy Name of Jesus, IHS. Since, President Obama proved, from the beginning of his presidency, he did not respect Catholic Conscience with the act of removing IHS from his speech @ Georgetown University, We as Catholics should use IHS to defeat Obama. "In this sign you shall conquer." Please read to understand:  "In Hoc Signo vinces" – "In this sign, you shall conquer" 


"After three nails were added under the insignia (together with a cross above), some noticed that the inscription now contained a “V” below the IHS – so that we see IHSV. (see image on the side) In this form it was adopted by St. Ignatius as the symbol of the Jesuits.
IHSV was interpreted to mean In Hoc Signo Vinces, “In this sign, you shall conquer”. It was taken as a reference to the victory which Constantine won against Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge on 28 October 312. Before the battle, the future Emperor saw a sign in the sky (probably the Greek chi-rho X-P, the symbol of “Christ”) and heard the words εν τουτω νικα, which is Greek for “In this [sign], you shall conquer”. The phrase was translated into Latin and it was noticed that the first letters of each word added up to IHSV – thus was born the legend that IHS stood for Constantine’s vision and the Christianization of Rome.
Most certainly, in the Holy Name of Jesus we shall conquer every enemy – and the last enemy to be destroyed is death itself."

BISHOPS ISSUE CALL TO ACTION TO DEFEND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Urge strong lay involvement

Outline threats to First Freedom at all levels of government and abroad

WASHINGTON—The U.S. bishops have issued a call to action to defend religious liberty and urged laity to work to protect the First Freedom of the Bill of Rights. They outlined their position in “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty.” The document was developed by the Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), approved for publication by the USCCB Administrative Committee March 13, and published in English and Spanish April 12.


“We have been staunch defenders of religious liberty in the past. We have a solemn duty to discharge that duty today,” the bishops said in the document, “… for religious liberty is under attack, both at home and abroad.”

Almighty God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday

On April 18th, 1993, the Holy Father Pope John Paul II beatified Sr. Faustina Kowalska at St Peter's Square in Rome. It was the first Sunday after Easter- the very day that is to be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday, according to the Merciful Savior's revelations to Sister Faustina. Sister Faustina gained her official canonization on April 30th, 2000, again it was Mercy Sunday.  In fact it was during this time the Holy Father also announced that the Second Sunday of Easter would now be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the universal Church.

Jesus wished for the world to know of and to be submersed into the ocean of His Mercy. The Lord chose Sr. Faustina as the Apostle and Secretary of His mercy, so she would share the urgent message of Divine Mercy with our troubled modern world. St Faustina's writings produced a magnificent book.

Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul  Maria Faustina Kowalska (Author)

 

Words of Jesus:

"I am Love and Mercy itself (1074)...Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet (699) ...My Mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world (1485)... I let my Sacred Heart be piereced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you.  come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain. I never reject to draw a coontrite heart (1485)...Sooner would heaven and earth  turn into nothingness than wold My mercy not embrace a trusting soul (1777)."

"I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itslef, but radiates them to other souls (1074)."

In 1931, Our Lord appeared to Saint Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the heart, from where two large rays come forth, one red and the other pale. She gazed intently at the Lord in silence, her soul filled with awe, but also with great joy. Jesus said to her:

"Paint an image according to the pattern you see with the signature: Jesus I trust in You... Ipromise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death.I Myself will defend it as My own glory (47,48)...I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You" (327)... I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47).

Jesus I Trust in You


"The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water shich makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross ... Happy is the one who will dwell in their shlter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hld of him (299) ... By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. it is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the stroongest faith is of no avail without works (742)."


When St Faustina had a vision of an angel sent by God to chastise a certain city, she began to pray and received words interiorly as she began to see the Holy Trinity and felt the power of Jesus' grace within her.
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sinds and those of the whole world;  for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world (476)."

As she continued saying this inspired prayer, the angel became helpless and could not carry out the deserved punishment (see 474, 475).

The next day, as she was entering the chapel, she again heard the interior voice, instructing her how to recite the prayer that our Lord later called "the Chaplet". In subsequent revelations, the Lord made it clear that the Chaplet was not just for her but for the whole world.

"Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (1541q) ... Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death (687) ... When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior (1541) ... Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet ony once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy (687) ...I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy (687) Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will (1731)."

The Chaplet may be said at any time, but Our Lord specifically told St Faustina to recite it during the nine days before the Feast of Mercy (the first Sunday after Easter). The Novena would begin on Good Friday, and continue until the Second Sunday of Easter. He then added:
"By this Novena, [of Chaplets] I will Grant every possible grace to souls (796).

Our Lord desires that every soul knows of his great Mercy. He gives a special promise of Mercy, which is complete forgiveness of sins and punishment on the Feast of Mercy.
"I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will got o Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy (1109)."

"Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment (300)."

"The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment (699)."

ANNUNCIATION

Feast of the Annunciation, this year, March 26th, 2012



Dear Friends,

Ordinarily today (March 25th)  is the Solemnity of the Annunciation. It is celebrated this year on March 26th having been superseded by the Sunday liturgy. Because we are now in the season of Lent, Sunday, March 25th, previously called "Passion Sunday",  marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time of Lent. This is the third Sunday of the scrutinies for the preparation of adult converts, and the final Sunday of Lent before the beginning of Holy Week.

Now, getting back to the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord, I have found a most beautiful homily. Before we go on, it is worthy of note that the old church calendar called this feast day; the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The homily comes from a Benedictine Monastary of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Their Life and Charism comes from ‘Men Who Hold Their Gaze Directly Towards God’.  Their spiritual father is St Benedict, one whose gaze was always on the Face of God.
       
                                             "On April 1, 2005, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger gave a conference at Subiaco, the cradle of Benedictine life. Nineteen days later, as bishop of Rome, he assumed the name of Saint Benedict. Pope Benedict’s message at Subiaco identifies what the world needs above all else. “We need,” he said, “men who hold their gaze directly towards God.”

Thank you Dear Lord, for coming to us, for keeping us company, for speaking to us, for living with us, and for giving us Your Heart.

Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You Your Son on the Cross, His Nailing and Raising, His Wounds on the Hands and Feet and the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these for us, His extreme tortures of the Body and Soul, His precious Death and its non-bleeding Renewal in all Holy Masses on earth as atonement for all wounds against vows and regulations within the Orders, as reparation for my and all of the world's sins, for the sick and the dying, for all holy priests and laymen, for the Holy Father's intentions toward the restoration of Christian families, for the strengthening of Faith, for our country and unity among all nations in Christ and His Church, as well as for the Diaspora.

Eternal Father, accept as worthy, for the needs of the Holy Church and as atonement for the sins of all Mankind, the Precious Blood and Water which poured forth from the Wound of Jesus' Divine Heart. Be gracious and merciful toward us. Blood of Christ, the last precious content of His Holy Heart, wash me of all my and others' guilt of sin! Water from the Side of Christ, wash me clean of all punishments for sin and extinguish the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Souls. Amen.

The Icon of Kazan


 The Soviet regime was ostensibly committed to the complete annihilation of religious institutions and ideas. Militant atheism was central to the ideology of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and a high priority of all Soviet leaders. Communism required the abolition of religion. Convinced atheists were considered to be more virtuous individuals than those of religious belief.
The state established atheism as the only scientific truth. Criticism of atheism or the state's anti-religious policies was forbidden and could lead to forced retirement, arrest and/or imprisonment.
The history of Christianity in theSociet Union was not limited to repression and secularization. Soviet policy toward religion was based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, which made atheism the official doctrine of the Soviet Union. Marxism-Leninism has consistently advocated the control, suppression, and, ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs.
The state was committed to the destruction of religion, and to this effect it destroyed churches , mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with atheistic propaganda, and generally promoted 'scientific atheism' as the truth that society should accept.



The Icon of Kazan, the most treasured Icon in Russia vanished during the Russian Revolution.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, there was speculation that the original icon was in fact preserved in St. Petersburg. Reportedly, an icon of Our Lady of Kazan was used in processions around Leningrad fortifications during the Siege of Leningrad. There was a conflicting theory that the image had been sold by the Bolsheviks abroad. Although such theories were not accepted by the Russian Orthodox Church, a reputed original (one of several in existence) was acquired by the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima and enshrined in Fatima , Portugal in the 1970s.

In 1993, the icon from Fátima was given to Pope John Paul II, who took it to the Vatican and had it installed in his study, where he venerated it for eleven years. In his own words, "it has found a home with me and has accompanied my daily service to the Church with its motherly gaze." John Paul II wished to visit Moscow or Kazan to personally return the icon to the Russian Orthodox Church. The icon was presented to the Russian Church unconditionally in August 2004. On August 26, 2004 it was exhibited for veneration on the altar of St Peter's Basilica and then delivered to Moscow. On the next feast day of the holy icon, July 21, 2005, the icon of Kazan was placed in the Annunciation Cathedral of the Kazan Kremlin.

The Devotion set up to the Immaculate Heart of Mary


What is the request of Our Lady of Fatima to defeat Communism in the world?

Our Lady came to Fatima in 1917 to warn us that the world and the nations were sinking into serious sin, and this would result in tremendous suffering during the 20th century. She specified that there would be a Second World War, that Russia would be taken over by Communism and spread atheism all over the world, and that the Pope would be shot.

Our Lady told us how to stop the spread of Communism and restore the Christian faith to Russia. Today the Russian government requires prayer and religious education in all the public schools throughout their country. Russian leaders have publicly acknowledged the Queenship of Mary over their country.

Our Lady told us how to restore the Christian culture of the United States after the fall of the Soviet Union. She told us to pray for the conversion of sinners and She gave us a prayer to say every day: “O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee; I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.” She told us to make reparation to God for the sins of our country by offering up all of our daily suffering for the love of Jesus, for the conversion of sinners and as reparation for the sins committed against Her Immaculate Heart.

She requested the we pray the Rosary everyday. She requested the Devotion of the First Five Saturdays to be practiced.

Devotion of the First Five Saturdays

"On December 10, 1925, Our Lady appreared with the Child Jesus to Lucia at the Dorothean Convent in Ponte Verde, Spain.

Our Lord asked Lucia to "Have pity" on the Heart of her "Most Holy Mother" and to offer acts of reparation.

Then Our Lady said:  "Look, my daughter, at my heart encircled with thorns, with which ungrateful men peirce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me, and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in the First Saturday of five consecutive months, confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rossary, with the intention of making reparation to me."

Each of the Five Saturdays is offered in reparation for the five ways Our Mother's Heart is Blasphemed. In a letter given by Sister Lucia to Fr. Jose Bernardine Gonzalves on June 12, 1930, she said that while in the convent chapel on the night of May 29-30, Our Lord revelaaed the reason for the five Saturdays.
"My daughter, the motive is simple: there are five ways in which people offend, and blaspheme against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
1) The Blasphemes agaiinst the Immaculate Conception.
2) Against her virginity.
3) Against the divine maternity, refusing at the sam time to accept her as the Mother of all mankind.
4) Those who try publicly to implant in the children's hearts indifference, contempt and even hate agaiinst this Immaculate Mother.
5) Those who insult her directly in her sacred images."

Our Lady of Fatima called Communism an Error to Three Little Children and Supplied the Reparation


What I am about to say may sound naïve, but Our Lady of Fatima pointed out, and named distinctly and directly, Russia. It was in Fatima where She showed how to remove the error of Communism in the world. The solution to erasing Communism from our society is Reparation to Her Immaculate Heart.  Our Lady of Fatima said during the coinciding 6 months of Communist takeover, "If my words are not heeded, Russia will spread her errors throughout the world." "If my requests are fulfilled, Russia will be converted and there will be peace....," Our Lady's requests were made the time of the Communist takeover in Russia, May 1917 to October 1917.

The take over in Russia only took 6 months, is it not interesting that in the same six months all of the events of Fatima occured? The urgency of Our Lady's message and warning ended with the  punctuation mark of the great Miracle of the Sun. How could the simple children of Portugal understand the evils of communism in a far way place like Russia at the same time it was going on? This in itself should draw attention to the goings on of Fatima. Jacinta while on her death bed, strongly urged Lucia to make sure the world was told that the only way to Peace was through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It seems to me that the American people do not know or have forgotten what Communism has done to people in other Nations. It also seems that Americans (Catholics) are not aware of the solution, but the communists know both. JPII having defeated the Communist regime in Poland with the arms of Truth, realized after being shot on May 13th, was the Pope referred to in the Third Secret. It is interesting how the KGB was found to be linked to his assassination attempt. It was at this time that JPII took a calculated step in fulfilling the request made by Our Lady of Fatima: "Consecrate Russia to my Immaculate Heart". JPII not only conquered the communist regime in Poland with the arms of Truth, but he also threw the mortal weapon at the heart of the blasphemous heart of Communism, by Consecrating Russia on March 25th, 1984, Feast of the Annunciation. Today, Russia teaches God in the public schools. But it doesn't end with the Consecration, it is only part of the solution. It may sound simplistic, but the solution is devotion to our Lady’s Immaculate Heart in the way that She asked. It is the Only way; Our Lady said it and Jacinta’s last words said it. JPII has stated as have Pope Benedict, that the messages of Fatima are more important now than ever. In response to their convictions, the Vatican has placed a permanent decree on the World Apostolate of Fatima, in October 7, 2010 to teach the world as part of the New Evangelization. It is interesting to note, that the lifestyle which leads to the act of abortion is mirrored in complete opposition by a lifestyle which leads to the Act of Reparation to our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. How many Catholics practice the First Five Saturdays? As naïve or simplistic as it may sound, we have been told what to do to fight Communism: Our Lady pointed to it, Jacinta pointed to it, Jesus pointed to it in February 1929, JPII pointed to it and BXVI is pointing to it now with the Permanent Decree to teach it. Learn the devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart and start practicing it. Remember, the Miracle of the Sun, the greatest miracle ever in the history of the world (after Jesus) was the exclamation point to the urgency of the Message. World Apostolate of Fatima, is an International Association of Pontifical Right, headquartered in Fatima Portugal with a U.S. National Headquarter in NJ. It is the only Church approved Fatima devotional. It is the devotional that Our Lady requested to be set up to Her Immaculate Heart, for which purpose Sr Lucia lived "a while longer". Learn it and practice it now! It is what Our Mother wants. It is for World Peace.

Socialism and Communism in America




Barack Hussein Obama has received praised by the Communist Party USA for getting the ball rolling, found in an article dated January 29th, 2010. In the 2008 presidentail election, Barack Hussein Obama was in the Socialist Party voting lever.
"A better and peaceful world is possible — a world where people and nature come before profits. That’s socialism. That’s our vision. We are the Communist Party USA." http://www.cpusa.org/
"The core forces for social change on a mass level have to see themselves as an organized and disciplined force that is not only blocking the extreme right-wing by voting for Obama, but is positioning itself to fight for the progressive programs the country needs.
As Mary Kay Henry, president of SEIU, said upon endorsing Obama for re-election, "We will fight shoulder to shoulder alongside working families across this nation. We will show the one percent that they aren't the only ones willing to fight for America's future."

Sound familiar? Does it not seem like this is what Americans are seeing happening to our own country through the actions of Obama under the guise of "Change"?  American core ethics of Freedom of Religion being destroyed by the latest HHS Mandate. Years of erosion to God in public schools.  Other ways are the attack on God by removing Him from the public square through the aetheists America.  The American families are constantly under attack through pornographic images found everywhere through magazines, television, public schools teaching same sex marriage as normal. The Morals are being attacked by Planned Parenthood though their educational tools. It seems as though Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness is slowing disappearing, and the defining line between right and wrong is being erased by the same forces.

"The 2012 election is shaping up to be an epic battle in a debate about what kind of country do we want to be. As shown by the campaign in Ohio, the labor movement is gearing up for its biggest mobilization ever." http://www.cpusa.org/the-power-of-the-99-in-201/
The following statements are taken from Internationalist Socialist Review. 
http://isreview.org/issues/32/crisis_theory.shtml

"Economic Crisis" CAPITALISM IS an economic system that is inherently crisis-prone."..."For Marx and Engels the only solution was democratic economic planning–socialism"... "Marx and Engels did not believe that capitalism would produce socialism of its own accord."If the working class accepts the consequences of every crisis, then the capitalist system will persist until it produces the "common ruin" of all. And so a revolution is not a given, or simply up to the course of history. As Marx and Engels once argued, "history does nothing...it ‘wages no battles.’ It is man, real, living man who does all that, who possesses and fights; ‘history’ is not...a person apart, using man as a means to achieve its own aims; history is nothing but the activity of man pursuing his aims."81 Our aim must be the overthrow of the crisis-ridden system of capitalism and its replacement with socialism."

Receives Award from Communist Party-Chicago, Illinois

Every Catholic Pope from 1846 to our present age, 2012 have denounced Socialism and Communism.

The following list are the Encyclicals written by the corresponding Popes about the errors and evils of Communism and Socialsm.
Pius IX :"“You are aware indeed, that the goal of this most iniquitous plot is to drive people to overthrow the entire order of human affairs and to draw them over to the wicked theories of this Socialism and Communism, by confusing them with perverted teachings.”
(Encyclical Nostis et Nobiscum, December 8, 1849)"

Leo XIII : “They [socialists, communists, or nihilists] debase the natural union of man and woman, which is held sacred even among barbarous peoples; and its bond, by which the family is chiefly held together, they weaken, or even deliver up to lust.
(Encyclical Quod Apostolici Muneris, December 28, 1878, n. 1)


Pius X : "“But stranger still, alarming and saddening at the same time, are the audacity and frivolity of men who call themselves Catholics and dream of re-shaping society under such conditions, and of establishing on earth, over and beyond the pale of the Catholic Church, ‘the reign of love and justice’ ... " A mere verbal and chimerical construction in which we shall see, glowing in a jumble, and in seductive confusion, the words Liberty, Justice, Fraternity, Love, Equality, and human exultation, all resting upon an ill-understood human dignity. It will be a tumultuous agitation, sterile for the end proposed, but which will benefit the less Utopian exploiters of the people. Yes we can truly say that the Sillon, its eyes fixed on a chimera, brings Socialism in its train.”
(Apostolic Letter Notre Charge Apostolique ["Our Apostolic Mandate"] to the French Bishops, August 15, 1910, condemning the movement Le Sillon)
