The Few That Are Saved

2008-05-20T21:17:00.000-07:00

"They who are enlightened to walk in the way of perfection, and through lukewarmness wish to tread the ordinary path, shall be abandoned." -Blessed Angela of Foligno

"If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few; that is to say, do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or night, so that they may attain everlasting blessedness." -St. Anselm

"Many begin well, but there are few who persevere." -St. Jerome

12th Imam as Beast of Revelation 17

2008-05-18T21:40:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7hRbWPjRYM

"The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again." (My emphasis)

Revelation 17:8

Does this not describe the occultation and much anticipated return of the 12th Imam by Shia Muslims in the last days?

"Like dawn spreading over the mountains,
a people numerous and mighty!
Their like has not been from of old,
nor will it be after them,
even to the years of distant generations.
Before them a fire devours,
and after them a flame enkindles;
Like the garden of Eden is the land before them,
and after them a desert waste;
from them there is no escape.

Their appearance is that of horses;
like steeds they run.
As with the rumble of chariots
they leap on the mountaintops;
As with the crackling of a fiery flame
devouring stubble;
Like a might people
arrayed for battle.
Before them peoples are in torment,
every face blanches.

Like warriors they run,
like soldiers they scale the wall;
They advance, each in his own lane,
No one crowds another,
each advances in his own track;
Though they fall into the ditches,
they are not checked.

They assault the city,
they run upon the wall,
they climb into the houses;
In at the windows
they come like thieves.
Before them the earth trembles,
the heavens shake;
The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withhold their brightness.

The Lord raises his voice
at the head of his army;
For immense indeed is his camp,
yes, mighty, and it does his bidding.
For great is the day of the Lord,
and exceedingly terrible; who can bear
it?"

Tertullian.org - for these last days...

2008-05-10T17:21:00.001-07:00

http://www.tertullian.org/chi.htm

"Persecution was an ever present danger in Tertullian's time and place. Christians were often perplexed by it. Was it from the Devil? Should they flee to avoid persecution. Tertullian took a tough line as difficult to understand today as it must have been then for he saw even persecution as from God: It never happens without God willing it, and it is fitting-even at times necessary-for Him to do so, to the approval or condemnation of His servants. . . this is his winnowing fan which even now cleanses the Lord's threshing floor-His church, winnowing the mixed heap of the faithful and separating the wheat of the martyrs from the chaff of the cowards... (When persecution strikes), the Church is mightily stirred; then the faithful are more careful in their preparations, greater attention is given to fasts and station days, to prayers and humility, to mutual charity and love, to holiness and temperance. Men have time for nothing but fear and hope. Therefore, it is clear that persecution, which works for the improvement of the servants of God, cannot be blamed on the Devil."

Requiem For Common Sense - Fr. Yves le Roux of St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, Winona, MN

2008-05-05T17:47:00.000-07:00

(Copied with permission of Father le Roux)

Dear friends and benefactors,

Common sense is no more, destroyed by the monstrous god of modern technology.

The famous saying of Descartes, asserting that "common sense is the most shared thing in this world," makes us smile today! What is, indeed, the use of this saying when man learns how to use a computer even before learning the rudiments of grammar and arithmetic? The computer screen is, for the child, not only a physical reality: it cuts him off, often permanently, from the indispensable tools of knowledge which will allow him to judge and understand the reality that surrounds him as an adult.

Caught up in technology, man becomes secretly its slave by subjecting himself to the poor binary language of computers, by unconsciously adopting it as the language of his own thought. Any idea of fine distinctions becomes foreign to him. This is a caricature of real truth, which, in its simplicity, takes into account all the complexity of the real world.

The technological bent of our world has created an artificial man, cut off from reality. Master of the world in front of his screen (without even thinking that the screen performs its own role of "screen" or filter, separating him from the real world!), man lives no more in the concrete world, where he must necessarily submit himself to a higher order. He drifts in an imaginary world, where his desire for domination can infinitely expand itself without risk - thus becoming god and master. At least he believes it to be so! But he is only a sad individual used to having the world revolve around his grandiose person - we see here the perfect and unbearable type of a tyrannical individual making grotesque demands.

This imaginary world has its own laws, its own morals, its own criteria of truth. Each man moves within a universe that is rigorously personal. This solitary isolation is only the last misadventure of a civilization dying by asphyxiation. when men are no longer subject to an order superior to themselves and when they maintain between each other only spasmodic and extremely minimal relationships, society itself is not far from its breakdown. We already live in this strange world, a world that the philosopher Marcel de Corte accurately called "dissociete": "dissociety," where man, reduced to the solitude of his poor individuality, becomes foreign to the world and to himself.

Man, indeed, locked up in his world because of the omnipresent tyranny of images which do not leave him time to reflect, each day loses the vital contact with reality, source of balance and...of common sense!

The essential link between man and the concrete reality that surrounds and dominates him grows blurred, in favor of an imaginary world that is violently imposed upon him by the proliferation of modern means of communication and information. Man finds difficulty in establishing a living relationship - let us dare to use the term, a carnal relationship, a relationship of flesh and blood - with the real world which has become foreign to him. This loss of contact with reality is tragic. Reality, by raising a carrier against man's morbid inclination to egotism, is the only protection man has against himself.

This barrier was nothing other than common sense. A man who knew that he was naturally dependent did not have the insane hearning to rise above himself. He fit with ease in the order of the universe and drew from it his force and his balance.

But times have changed: now is the reign of disproportion, in which man, intoxicated by his technical successes, lives in a disincarnated world that tries to delay its unavoidable defeat by attempting a dazzling and dazing escape into the future.

The barrier that was common sense is now broken. Man has become nothing more than a frail raft, tossed around at the medias' whims. The Mass has been said: it was a requiem mass.

We take note of it; painfully, because the disappearance of common sense is only the twilight that heralds the disappearance of man.

In Christo Sacerdote and Maria.

Amazing Testimony of Worldwide Corporate-Governmental Corruption

My dear reader,

If you want to get as clear a picture as you can of the congruence between the 17th and 18th Chapters of the Book of Revelation and the modern global economic system created in large part by United States businessmen over the course of the past century:

Read the whole of the 17th and 18th Chapters of the Book of Revelation. Then, view the following long interview with John Perkins. This is a very liberal, leftist, and I think anti-Christian website, yet, the information he gives from his own experience is invaluable for understanding what is going on in the world today.

This book is a must must read for Catholics living in these last days. This book is truly amazing. It left me in a state of awe and wonder for days. It is the life of victim soul Sister Josefa Menendez, a nun of the Society of the Sacred Heart at the Convent of Les Feuillants, Poitiers, France, in early 20th century. The way Jesus and His Mother relate with Josefa and with us through her, is absolutely breathtaking. Other than Holy Scripture, I have never read anything like it.

If you ever wonder if Jesus really loves you, and if you have a hard time experiencing this love, read this book.

My Interpretations of St. Malachi's Prophesy of Popes since Pope John XXIII

2008-02-11T19:44:00.000-08:00

Pope John XXIII: Pastor et Nauta or "Shepherd and Sailor"

It is well-known that this Pope opened the door to Vatican II. He initiated it. On the one hand he was shepherd, on the other, he was like a typical young sailor who acts with abandon to his sensual appetites, not sufficiently thinking about the possible consequences of his actions.

Pope Paul VI: Flos Florum "Flower of Flowers"

Malachi Martin characterizes this Pope as being weak. He gave into the Modernist voices all around him instead of listening to the Truth of the Church which he knew so well. At the end of his life, he was a broken man. He realized his part in ruining the Church. His famous quote "the smoke of Satan has entered the Sanctuary" is his awakening to the realization of what transpired during his Pontificate. He did nothing to undo the damage done. He was a flower of flowers. In others words, he was effeminate. See: http://www.traditioninaction.org/ Put "Montini Homosexual" in the website search.

Pope John Paul I: De Medietate Lunae "of the Half-Moon"

Pope John Paul I's Pontificate was cut short. He was not able to complete the good work he had started. All signs point to the probability that he was murdered. He wanted to undo the damage done during Paul VI's Pontificate. According to Malachi Martin's classic book The Jesuits: the Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church he was beginning to confront the Jesuit Order and stop them from spreading their modernist/communist errors throughout the world. Like the cycle of the moon, he was not able to complete his cycle as Pope.

Pope John Paul II: De Labore Solis "of the Labour of the Sun"

Pope John Paul II is known for the vast amount of travelling around the globe he did throughout his Pontificate. He worked very hard in his mission to create world peace and stop communism. However, he did it on the world's terms. While he was busy globetrotting, his Church was disintegrating at a rapid rate. He did nothing to stop the spread of communism in his own Church! The irony is killing. Malachi Martin writes of a "Judas' Complex" in his book The Keys of this Blood, about the mission of John Paul's Pontificate. He therefore labored not for Christ, the Son. He worked on the world's terms under the sun. The labor of the sun, not the Son!

Pope Benedict XVI: De Gloria Olivae "Glory of the Olive"

Pope Benedict XVI is slowly bringing the Church back together again, because he is beginning to stand up for the Truth. By his actions he is offering an olive branch to the Society of St. Pius X. He is reaching out to the Orthodox Church. He is trying to unify Holy Mother Church without compromising her Truth.

I think the work Pope Benedict is doing is preparing the faithful for the coming Tribulation. He is making a last effort to strengthen the faithful and prepare us for a time that will test even the elect!

Apocalyptic Verses from the Bible Pointing to Global Warming

2008-02-03T18:17:00.000-08:00

Isaiah 24:5-6 -

"The earth mourns and fades,
the world languishes and fades;
both heaven and earth languish.
The earth is polluted because of its
inhabitants,
who have transgressed laws, violated
statutes,
broken the ancient covenant.
Therefore a curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants pay for their guilt;
Therefore they who dwell on earth are scorched,
and a few men are left."

Revelation 16:20 - "Every island fled, and mountains disappeared."

Jeremiah 51:42 - "against Babylon the sea rises, she is overwhelmed by the roaring waves!"

Luke 21:25-26 - "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves."

Revelation 16:8-9 - "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. It was given the power to burn people with fire. People were burned by the scorching heat and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent or give him glory."

Revelation 11;18 -

"The nations raged,
but your wrath has come,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and to recompense your servants, the
prophets,
and the holy ones and those who fear
your name,
the small and the great alike,
and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

All quotations are from The New American Bible.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Scripture?

2008-01-15T20:18:00.000-08:00

The following are Scripture verses from Genesis to Revelation that I think relate to Iran and the West, specifically the United States. I think the following Scripture in Genesis is the first apocalyptic writing in the Bible, and the first to point to our current crisis with Iran:

Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Then Isaac his father answered him:
"Behold, far from the fertile earth
shall your dwelling be,
and away from the dew of heaven on high.
By your sword you shall live,
and you shall serve your brother;
But when you become restive
you shall break his yoke from your neck." Genesis 27:38-40

Does this not describe Islamic culture in the Middle East? Do they not serve the West through corporate oil interests with little benefit to the majority? And are they not now increasingly restive? Much of the Middle East is desert "far from the fertile earth."

"I am stirring up against them the Medes,
who think nothing of silver
and take no delight in gold..." Isaiah 13:17

"The Medes dwelt with the Persians in the land now known as Iran." (Commentary notes from The New American Bible)

"Ahmadinejad appealed to the people. He is seen as an honest and simple man. According to reports, he lives so modestly that his personal assets include only a 30-year-old car, an even older house, and an empty bank account. Ahmadinejad projects the image of a humble and devout man. He is motivated, not by wealth or power, but by his conservative Islamic ideals." (http://www.khouse.org/, 8/8/06)

"Sharpen the arrows,
fill the quivers;
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of Media's kings;
Babylon he is resolved to destroy."
Yes, it is the vengeance of the Lord,
vengeance for his temple." Jeremiah 51:11

"The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself;
I will fill you with men as numerous as
locusts,
who shall raise over you the vintage
shout!" Jeremiah 51:14

Our borders are very porous. They say another "9/11" is inevitable. They say it is not a matter of if, but when. No one doubts that it could be an inside job using suicide bombers.

Dedicate peoples to war against her:
the king of Media,
Its governors and all its prefects,
every land in his demain.
The earth quakes and writhes,
the Lord's plan against Babylon is carried
out,
Turning the land of Babylon
into a desert where no one lives.
Babylon's warriors have ceased to fight,
they remain in their strongholds;
Dried up is their strength,
they have become women." Jeremiah 51:28-30

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is definitely dedicated to achieving the destruction of the United States. He believes he has been given a divine mission by Allah to help usher in the arrival of the 12th Imam.

Is our military not stretched beyond it's capacity? The Federal Government has had to hire soldiers through private companies in order to meet the demand for military personnel. Our soldiers have been on two and three tours of duty. They are tired. Where is the enthusiasm among the general populous to join the fight and win the "war on terror" as in World War I and II?

"Though Babylon scale the heavens,
and make her strong heights inaccessible,
destroyers from me shall reach her, says
the Lord.
Hear! loud cries from Babylon,
dire destruction from the land of the
Chaledeans;
For the Lord lays Babylon waste,
stills her loud cry,
Though her waves were roaring like mighty
waters,
and their clamor was heard afar.
For the destroyer comes upon her,
her heroes are captured, their bows
broken;
The Lord is a God who requites,
he will surely repay.
I will make her princes and her wise men drunk, her governors, her prefects, and her warriors, so that they sleep an eternal sleep, never to awaken, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts. Thus says the Lord of hosts:

The walls of spacious Babylon shall be
leveled utterly;
her lofty gates shall be destroyed by fire.
The toil of the nations is for nothing;
for the flames the peoples weary
themselves." Jeremiah 51:53-58

"Though Babylon scale the heavens, and make her strong heights inaccessible, destroyers from me shall reach her." Does this not describe what happened on 9/11?

The 12th Imam, the Mahdi?:

The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer. It will come up from the abyss and is headed for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world shall be amazed when they see the beast, because it existed once but exists no longer, and yet it will come again. Revelation 17:8

"Shiites hold that the Mahdi is Muhammad ibn Hasan, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad born in the 9th century and the 12th and final Shiite Imam. As a devout Shiite, Ahmadinejad believes that the 12th Imam was hidden away by Allah at a young age and will someday emerge to bring justice and peace by establishing Islam throughout the world. After taking office Ahmadinejad allocated $20 million for the expansion of the Jamkaran mosque, a religious pilgrimage site where Shiites can drop messages to the "Hidden Imam" in a holy well.Ahmadinejad ardently believes in the imminent return of 12th Imam, which he anticipates will happen in the next two years. He believes he has a personal role in ushering in the return of the Mahdi and is preparing Iran for Judgment Day. Understanding this perspective is vital to understanding the Iranian threat." (http://www.khouse.org/, 8/8/06)

"Then he carried me away in spirit to a deserted place where I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was covered wtih blasphemous names, with seven heads and ten horns." Revelation 17:3

"The woman seated on a scarlet beast" implies a dependent relationship. Is not the United States' economy dependent on Middle Eastern oil?

"The ten horns that you saw and the beast will hate the harlot; they will leave her desolate and naked; they will eat her flesh and consume her with fire. For God has put it into their minds to carry out his purpose and to make them come to an agreement to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished. The woman whom you saw represents the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth." Revelation 17:16-18

Are there not alliances of anti-western leaders forming? Have we not seen the strange bedfellows of Venzuelan President Chavez and Ahmadinejad appearing before the whole world in their expressions of brotherly affection and common goal of the desctruction of the United States? What about the recent discovery that North Korea has been helping Syria build a nuclear power plant?

"Depart from her, my people,
so as not to take part in her sins
and receive a share in her plagues,
for her sins are piled up to the sky,
and God remembers her crimes."
Pay her back as she has paid others.
Pay her back double for her deeds.
Into her cup pour double what she poured.
To the measure of her boasting and
wantonness.
repay her in torment and grief;
for she said to herself,
'I sit enthroned as queen;
I am no widow,
and I will never know grief.'
Therefore, her plagues will come in one
day,
pestilence, grief, and famine;
she will be consumed by fire.
For might is the Lord God who judges
her."

"The kings of the earth who had intercourse with her in their wantonness will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her pyre. They will keep their distance for fear of the torment inflicted on her, and they will say:

"Alas, alas, great city,
Babylon, might city
In one hour your judgment has come."

The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because there will be no more markets for their cargo;.... " Revelation 18:4-11
