the Matrix Revolutions.
Which image leads souls
to Heaven: the one above
or the one on the left?
and the
‘father’ of rock ’n’ roll
Others, by their communication with us, seem to think that we shouldn’t be so harsh, as if when people die suddenly there are no places called “hell” or “Purgatory.”
Still others have the audacity to ask whether we have lost the “fear of the Lord,” when, in reality, our work is not for the squeamish or blind.
As believers, we can NEVER lose our fear of the Lord.
The question we raise to any self-respecting believer is: which path do you wish to take?
The path of Mother Teresa or the path of John the Baptist?
Neither path is wrong, but both are certainly radically different than one another.
We choose the path of John the Baptist.
And in that regard we do not seek to comfort but to challenge — whether anyone is a Catholic, non-Catholic (which means one is in a halfway house for Christians!) or unbelievers.
It is unbelievers we are particularly trying to shake up.
So if there are those who are going to question whether or not we “fear” the Lord, read on, for you might learn something.
We, as a culture, are, once again, going to be inundated with images from the Matrix. We, as a web site, have been dealing with numerous responses from those who take objection with our pointing out the symbolism in the film that does not lead one to believe in the true Savior of the world, and, in particular, leads one astray from embracing the Mother of our Redeemer.
Our comments about the film have been used on various other web sites, sometimes as an interesting adjunct to Matrix discussions, and other times berated as material that angers the so-called “reader.”
This is good.
We care not which side of the fence our article sits on.
What we care about is to reinvigorate the mind and soul — to renew a person’s passion.
Whether that passion may fall toward loving our Lord more or blaspheming His Name is not ours to reckon with.
It is the individual.
And in this regard, there are many individuals who do NOT fear the Lord.
Some of their comments regarding Jesus and Mary in response to our articles about the Matrix make believers understand just why and how a soul can wind up in hell for Eternity.
This is where the connection between the Matrix and the “father” of rock ’n’ roll
comes in.
While everyone on the net is well familiar with the film, many may be too young or unaware of the legacy of one Sam Phillips.
The man who discovered Elvis Presley.
Johnny Cash.
Roy Orbison.
Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Pride, ad infinitum.
There is nothing basically wrong with Sam as a human being, except for one simple fact: his legacy.
Sam is the man who put the world of rock ’n’ roll, as we know it, together from his famous 1950’s studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
An interesting story is told about him and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Now Jerry is the cousin of the infamous TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggert.
Jerry also studied to be a minister and scandalized the world when he married his underage cousin.
When Sam Phillips was trying to convince Jerry to record a song, they got into an argument. It was over the classic track, “Great Balls of Fire.”
Jerry, as one who studied and believed he “knew” the Scriptures, told Sam he couldn’t record the song because it was the “devil’s music.”
Sam, claiming to be a believer, countered — believe it or not — that even the devil could save souls!
An ensuing argument between the two resulted in both admitting that they were wrong!
Jerry, of course, recorded the song, and, as any music lover knows, the 45 became an instant hit.
And so we ask, how many souls has “Great Balls of Fire” saved or damned?
What, then, is the point and how does this all relate to the opening of the last sequel in the Matrix trilogy this week?
The answer lies not in our beliefs.
It does not even lie in the Scriptures, although confirming proof can be easily obtained.
The answer lies in the lives of the Saints.
To comprehend this, one must understand that we have been so infected with protest-ant-ism that most people do not pay attention to what occurred in these incredibly important lives. Lives confirmed to us through miracles, apparitions and incorruptible bodies!
And for those who think we have “lost” our fear of the Lord, the lives we are about to talk about are, we believe, even more important than that of Mother Teresa!
They are the lives of St. Louis de Montfort and Blessed Alan de la Roche.
For in their lives an incredible lesson is taught to the world — a lesson that one does not receive in the Matrix or from the life of the “father” of rock ’n’ roll and those he made famous.
And for those who doubt our comprehension of this lesson, then they — whether a Catholic who claims to have the “fear” of the Lord or unbeliever — would have to state that they are denying the words of Jesus and the Mother of God!
For with Her Son, Mary gives us this valuable lesson through two of Her prized slaves!
The lesson can be found in St. Louis’ book, The Secret of the Rosary.
The lesson reveals the “terrible reproach” the Lord chastised Blessed Alan with.
As St. Louis describes it, “One day when he [Blessed Alan] was saying Mass, our Lord, Who wished to spur him on to preach the Holy Rosary, spoke to him in the Sacred Host: ‘How can you crucify Me again so soon?’ Jesus said.
‘What did You say, Lord?’ asked Blessed Alan, horrified.
‘You crucified Me once before by your sins,’ answered Jesus, ‘and I would willingly be crucified again rather than have My Father offended by the sins you used to commit. You are crucifying Me again now because you have all the learning and understanding that you need to preach My Mother’s Rosary, and you are not doing so. If you only did this you could teach many souls the right path and lead them away from sin — but you are not doing it and so you yourself are guilty of the sins that they commit.’ ”
YOU YOURSELF ARE GUILTY
OF THE SINS THAT THEY COMMIT!
This is not the Scriptures.
This is not the Church.
This is the Lord talking directly to one of His Mother’s slaves!
How is our Queen involved in this?
She, too, speaks to Blessed Alan as St. Louis relates, stating, “You were a great sinner in your youth, but I obtained the grace of your conversion from My Son. Had such a thing been possible, I would have liked to have gone through all kinds of suffering to save you because converted sinners are a glory to me.”
So what does this all mean?
And what does it have to do with the Matrix and the “father” of rock ’n’ roll?
For those of limited reading comprehension capability, it will seem like it is all a disconnect.
And for those who are afraid to speak boldly like St. John the Baptist, they will cower in their perceived “fear” of the Lord, hiding their talent in the ground for they know our God is a hard taskmaster.
But for those who wish to grow in the maturity of our Lord with their minds set not on this planet, but on Eternity, one can take the proverbial bull by the horns and learn the lesson!
Our world is desperately dying in the sins of omission!
If there are those who love the Matrix and then want to talk about the Love and Mercy of Christ as if no matter what they or others do, it will be forgiven, they are leading a deaf, dumb and blind life!
For if our Lord could so chastise one of His Mother’s slaves as he celebrates Mass and She, in turn, could speak of the depth of the debt we owe Her for our conversions, we would be poor despicable fools to believe that there will NOT be a price to pay for our sins of omission!
This is where the deception lies.
This is where the Matrix steals souls from Mary.
This is where the “father” of rock ’n’ roll and those he “created” steal souls from Jesus.
We are deaf, dumb and blind fools when we believe there will be no price to pay for these sins of omission.
And do not forget, especially those who are lukewarm Catholics, that we are not stating that these souls will go to hell; but, at the very best, they will wind up in Purgatory and forfeit any hope of an eternal reward!
We, unlike Mother Teresa, will never embrace a leper.
It is not in our nature.
But neither did John the Baptist!
For those who, as we stated before, can only handle the milk of Medjugorje, may our God and Queen bless you.
But for those who comprehend the meat of what the Lord is truly offering those who wish to be “sons of God,” Mother Teresa is NOT our role model.
St. Louis de Montfort is.
Blessed Alan de la Roche is.
John the Baptist is.
And neither of these three Saints would tolerate the scandal of the Matrix nor the legacy of Sam Phillips.
Sam died earlier this year.
We wonder how many people he would advise now to learn the chords and lyrics to Great Balls of Fire.
Or if, instead, he would preach — as he did fervently and “evangelistically” about music — the Song of the Rosary.
Like Blessed Alan, we know our conversion was obtained because our Queen interceded.
We have no right to preach Her Psalter.
We have an obligation.
And Her Psalter will not be highlighted in the Matrix Revolutions.
Her intercession will not be invoked.
And, therefore, those who are leading souls astray with this fantasy world (and believe us, based on those fans of the Matrix who immaturely attacked our defense of Jesus and Mary, that is a kind description) will find that, like the Lord spoke to Blessed Alan, they are Crucifying Him once again.
This leaves the producers, writers, directors, “stars,” and others who have contributed to the film-making process in the same predicament that Sam Phillips found himself in when he faced the Just Judge. For nothing he did in life — nor the forces behind the Matrix — contribute or contributed to the salvation of anyone’s soul.
Sam lost his argument that the devil can save souls.
Only Jesus can.
And Sam, in his legacy, didn’t assist the Lord in this endeavor.
This leaves the important lesson that those who do not assist Jesus’ Mother in converting souls and leading “them away from sin,” are themselves “guilty of the sins that they commit.”
Is it any wonder how souls wind up in hell?
To have the true “fear of the Lord” is to scream from the rooftops the pitfalls that leads one into the fires of Eternity.
Pitfalls found abundantly in the Matrix Revolutions and in the Father-less world of
rock ’n’ roll.
