Three Strikes and We’re Out?
For us as believers, the Lord has granted us peace.
But for the world, the Lord insists we take a different pathway to peace.
It is, of course, through His Mother, the Woman whom God has declared as His Queen of Peace.
She has proven this role many times through history: restoring peace not only for the sake of it, but more importantly for the victory over forces hostile to Christianity!
The examples are numerous, from Our Lady of Pompeii to Madonna Nicopeia in the 1st Millennium. Through the veneration of these powerful icons, Mary proved Her power and rights as God’s Queen of Mercy and Peace by defeating enemies of the Universal Church.
In the 8th Century, the evil one made a bold and cutting move against his Adversary — the Queen of Angels — by inspiring weak-minded people to believe Mary’s icons were “idolatry.” The result was a disaster for Christians and the rise and domination of islam in the Eastern Empire.
In the 2nd Millennium, Mary continued to bless and grant victory to those who honored Her images — especially with the Holy Child — and believed in Her messages. As Our Lady of Mercy and Guadalupe, Mary “crushed” the serpent and again turned back the horde of islamic fanaticism.
But weak-minded mankind was not interested. Those with more pride than spirit rejected Mary.
Instead, protest-ants in the “reformation” again made the classic mistake of iconoclasm — satan never has a new plan — and followed the devil’s inspirations to dishonor the Woman who had rescued mankind time and again from disaster.
Things for Mary grew worse in the 2nd Millennium as the American and French “revolutions” not only tried to ensure the death of the Church as a temporal power, but also embraced images and icons of FALSE queens! American and French politicians bitterly rejected Mary while embracing the goddess of “liberty.”
Then came the ultimate insult to God and His Mother: a belief formed in the pit of hell and the streets of revolutionary Paris that spread through Europe. Atheistic communism reared its ugly head and, again, the Lord’s Sacraments and His icons, as well as His Mother’s, took a bashing.
There was only one answer to this as again Mary tried to rescue Her wayward children — including a Church swaying under the politics, much like today, of appeasement. Mary, ever the Mother of Mercy, in response to Her children’s needs, tried to show the world the way to peace on this planet.
Confirming for all to comprehend — including Her Son’s Church — that She is the Woman Clothed With the Sun, Mary symbolically appeared at Fatima in an apparition and with a message specifically designed to answer a pope’s request: how mankind can end the Great War and avoid a future conflict.
And Mary, in Her love, told us that the Lord Jesus allows war as a chastisement for sin. The way to avoid it, She explained, was to stop dishonoring God and His Mother and make reparation to Him by praying the Rosary. It was, as She said, the only way to peace.
Mary, as the Queen of Peace — a title officially bestowed on Her by Pope Benedict XV on May 8, 1917, five days before Her first Fatima appearance — warned us that if we did not listen and act upon Her message, a worse war would break out; more horrific than the one that was currently raging, World War I.
If, after the Miracle of the Sun, which occurred on October 13, 1917 in witness of 70,000 people (remember the Lord sent forth the 70 as witnesses to Him?), and then the further lesson of the Holocaust which occurred in World War II isn’t proof of Mary’s words coming all far too true, than that person is more than just weak-minded; spiritually blind, deaf and dumb is apropos.
Unfortunately, that is just what is wrong with so many people in this world — especially our leaders. It is the result of a sin called “pride.” A sin which leads them to discount these messages; to believe that they do not have to follow Mary, or honor Her, or pay attention to Her icons. It is a sin Her Son has caught many a human in. It is His way of testing the hearts and minds of not only the faithful, but the entire human population that ever lived. It is a sin that began with the first fallen angel and continues to separate the wheat from the chaff.
We have now had God confirm for us that Mary is the Woman Clothed With the Sun three times in the last millennium.
First as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Second as Our Lady of Fatima, and third as Our Lady of America. Each time in each apparition, Mary appeared with the sun shining behind Her back.
Three times, despite all the attending miracles and conversions, the world’s majority said, “no, we will not believe.” Indeed, even many ignorant protest-ants have the audacity to claim these miracles and messages are not of God, nor do they come from His Mother; but, they believe, they are “tricks” of the evil one. Nothing could be more insulting to Jesus and Mary and the two Persons who love them the most: the Eternal Father and the Eternal Holy Ghost!
And while the world has failed big time by rejecting Mary not just in Her icons but as the Woman Clothed With the Sun, the Church has fared no better. For the Church in believing and understanding these are miracles and messages from God through His Mother has failed three times to obey our Queen’s instructions. This is a direct result of disobedience to Heaven in the ranks of many of our bishops.
First, they failed by not consecrating Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart when originally requested in 1929-30 (and even though John Paul II accomplished this, it was still not done according to Heaven’s instructions in conjunction with all the bishops of the world and, therefore, we do NOT have the peace Mary promised because God is not bound to it since our Church did not properly fulfill its obligation).
Second, by failing to consecrate in the 1950s the United States to Our Lady of America in a solemn ceremony by all our nation’s bishops at the then-newly constructed Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. (And we wonder how the evil of JFK’s assassination, which unleashed a new nation of sex, drugs and abortion on demand, came about!)
And finally, by refusing to promulgate the Final Marian Dogma as requested by our Lady to declare Her as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Advocate of the People of God.
Indeed, Cardinal Ratzinger, recently speaking on this matter, stated that he could not envision the promulgation of this dogma because it is not spelled out in Scripture, nor was it clear in the writings of the early Church Fathers! As if that is the only avenue of Divine Inspiration the Holy Spirit uses to bring more Truth into the Church! (Perhaps the cardinal would like to cancel the Divine Mercy Feast because it is not spelled out in Scripture nor is it clear in the writings of the early Church Fathers!) Strikingly, the cardinal’s remarks smacked of that insidious word the “new” Church loves called “ecumenism,” a philosophy which seems more dear to the hearts of the hierarchy than the Queen of Heaven. We would expect this type of statement to come from a protest-ant — not the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith!
In our previous installment, we asked these two simple and obvious questions based on the fact that the Lord did not come to give peace to the world. And so we queried, if there was another way to peace in the world:
* “Can we tap into this resource and secure the peace on Earth He has stated He will one day grant the world?”
The answer is “yes,” if we but turn to Mary. But we, as a world, have not; we have turned from Her.
And therefore, in our secondary query:
* “Did we already miss this opportunity and, if so, is the world now resigned to a fate that is unchangeable?”
The answer is, regrettably, yes again.
For the answer, in reality, is simple. We, as a world, have struck out, not once, not twice, but three times.
Interestingly, Mary told the locutionist, Father Gobbi, that the world had three individual time frames that Heaven was counting since Her Son’s First Coming.
The first was the year 666 as islam raised its ugly head and tried — as it does today, despite what any of our leaders may say — to destroy Judaism and Christianity.
The second time frame was 666 plus 666, which equals the year 1332, the time, Mary explained, when “reason” reared its blank head dispelling belief in the supernatural and people began denying the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
Adding 666 one more time to 1332 and we come up with the year 1998.
Mary said that was the year that sealed the world’s fate. That things would be much more difficult to change by prayer and some things would no longer be able to be changed no matter what.
The fate of the world, according to the Queen of Heaven and Earth, was sealed in 1998, 81 years after Fatima, or almost two hours in Heaven's time frame.
It was a year that saw an antichrist, former president and non-Catholic Bill Clinton, receive Holy Communion 13 days before Easter Sunday from the hands of a Roman Catholic priest; and then, on that very high Holy Christian day itself, after attending protest-ant services, spend the afternoon in the company of a young intern engaged in illicit and immoral activity.
It was a year in which an icon of Mary, blasphemed with elephant dung and pornographic pictures, was hung in a London museum before it made its way to New York City’s Brooklyn Museum the next year.
It was a year that saw too many of our bishops continue their disgusting cover-up of the pedophile scandal as they scrambled to keep this criminal activity under wraps, while at the same time removing our Lord from the center of His Altar.
It was a year, as the end of the 2nd Millennium drew to a close, in which Heaven looked down upon the Earth and God, as in the days of Noah, was displeased with His creation.
At the end of the day (for a day is but a thousand years and a thousand years but day to the Lord), the 2nd Millennium — the second day — the Lord had watched His creation dishonor and ignore the Woman Clothed With the Sun.
The Woman who gave birth to Him.
And the Woman He has given to mankind as our Mother.
In the 1st Millennium, the first day, mankind had rejected and crucified its Savior.
In the 2nd Millennium, the second day, mankind had rejected and dishonored its Mother.
We are not doomsayers, nor prophets, nor seers.
We are realists.
As a creation, we have had three swings of the bat in the 2nd Millennium and, throughout the planet, missed each and every time. If we were at the ol’ ballgame that masons invented and love so much, we would have been called out on strikes.
We have embraced the goddess of “liberty” and rejected the Queen of Peace.
And according to the Virgin and the two-hour warning Heaven has given mankind at Fatima, the clock is now up.
The Great Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy has come and gone and the Lord’s chastisements — in the form of allowing war by taking away His Hand of Protection — are just beginning.
While we continue to lobby the Queen of Peace to intercede, the fate of the world is now sealed.
It is only the fate of the individual that can be changed.
Let us turn to the Mother of Mercy and pray for them all.
