The First Display of Power by the
Mediatrix of All Graces!
‘And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth
heard the salutation of Mary,
the infant leaped in her womb!’
Luke 1:41
Who is a “Christian” today versus who was a “Christian” in the 1st Century is so vastly different, the two claimants would not recognize one another.
As those who have visited this web site often know, we are dedicated to pointing out “What is Truth” — not based on what we believe; but based on something far more certain in the fact of what the Scriptures clearly teach, in conjunction with the Saints, and the messages over the centuries of Jesus and Mary.
By combining these three, one gets the full Truth.
We are sorry if that offends anyone — but, too bad. We are into defending — at all costs — Jesus and His Mother. That means calling a spade a spade and exposing the heretics and liars wherever they may reside, including within the Catholic Church. (We see there are those who are afraid and want to break their ties when we “name names!” That’s okay. If it’s too hot, get out of the kitchen! These people will find that they are only being tested by God as to their real commitment and it is found lacking!)
Today, so many are afraid of appearing “disobedient” that any talk of Truth of how far astray the Church has gone from the teaching of the Saints — not the teachings of this web site — get uncomfortable. We are not interested in anyone’s “comfortability” factor. We are interested in bolstering the faith of the faithful and challenging the “Doubting Thomases.” And by your e-mails and comments, we are grateful that we are doing that. The experiences so many are having today within the Catholic Church are so reprehensible we cannot believe that it will be much longer before our God takes decisive action. And action that just does not include exposing the hierarchy for who they are through the pedophile scandal, but from also removing those who are abusing their power.
Those who — through personal and timid concerns — continue to sit on the proverbial “fence” will find that the Lord Himself will force them personally to one day take a stand. And when Jesus forces the issue, one better be prepared to listen to Him; not the voices of those who claim to represent Him. In this regard, one cannot just “report” the news of weeping icons and statues without putting into context the reasons why these events occur.
And those who think the Catholic Church has no part in the weeping of Jesus and Mary are in for a rude awakening. It is not our message at La Sallette that “Rome will lose the faith.” That message, as well as the ones about “ecclesiastical masonry” come from none other than the Queen of Heaven Herself!
Here is a lesson for all who truly believe in the Lord as He Himself experienced. If you are speaking the Truth, the first thing one can expect from those around you — no matter what their relationship to you or what they “claim” to believe — is their desire to SILENCE you! “Oh, you can’t say that! That’s just your ‘opinion’! Who told you that? What right do you have to make that claim?”
The list of excuses goes on and on. The reality is, these people cannot handle the Truth. Even when that Truth comes from the Mother of God! They may “claim” they do — but actions speak louder than proverbial “words”!
The same is true in “protest-ant-ism” — that “all-knowing” theology that rejects anything to do with the real interpretation of Scripture or the true history of the Universal Church.
In this regard, we want to take note of the fact that May 30 was the Feast of Pope St. Felix I, a martyr who governed the one and only true Church of Christ from 269 to 274. There is an incredibly important reason to make sure we — unlike the hierarchy of the Church today — do not forget the contributions these incredible Saints made to what is left of the true Church today. (Did anyone go to Mass on the 30th and hear about St. Felix from anyone in the Church that day? If you did, please let us know!)
For St. Felix is among the “proof positives” of how off base protest-ant-ism has taken Christianity, and how neglectful Catholicism has become.
Do you ever notice how these “fundamental” Christians or “born-again” types will argue that once the Church was legalized by Constantine the Great in 312, the faith became tainted with paganism and was not the true belief of the “early” Christians? This theory of theirs is such absolute nonsense it is pathetic. One only need study history to see how false their claim is.
And St. Felix is part of that proof that modern-day protest-ant-ism is a false theology that engages in half-truths, untruths and downright blasphemy, despite what the lackeys of ecumenism want us to believe!
In protest-ant-ism, they must make the claim — in order to discredit the Catholic Church of today — that Christianity made a wrong turn when the Roman emperor Constantine legalized this once-outlawed belief. Because, if protest-ants made the claim that the Church was in heresy previous to this event, one could easily accuse them of being the liars they are because CHRISTIANS WERE LOSING THEIR LIVES OVER JESUS previous to the Edict of Milan (313 A.D.).
One cannot exactly accuse those in the early underground Church who gave up their lives for Jesus as heretics and maintain one’s own legitimacy, can one?
Well, Pope St. Felix I lived previous to the Edict of Milan. And Pope St. Felix, like those popes before him, gave up his life as a martyr for the faith.
But before Pope St. Felix died, he did something very interesting and historical. This martyr “commanded” all priests in the Universal Church to celebrate Mass over the tomb of the Christian martyrs who came before him! The reason the Catholic Church today should be saying Mass over a relic of a martyr and/or Saint embedded in the Altar is because of the decree of Pope St. Felix I! (As well as the fact that the Lord Himself said the first Mass — His Last Supper — over the tomb and relics of His ancestor, King David!)
But how many NEW — or should we say “modernized” Catholic Churches —even contain a relic of a Saint in an Altar! Instead, the opposite is true! As the beautiful architecture of the Church has been streamlined into a nightmare of masonic art, the relics of the Saints have not only been removed from the former glorified Altar, but many have been DISCARDED! Discarded as if they are worthless or meaningless.
And then they have been replaced by a modern “altar” without a Tabernacle in the middle; for in the “new” Church, it is more important to have the ability for the “creature” to get a view of the musicians playing the trite music that supposedly “worships” the Lord! What a farce! Does anyone really believe that Jesus SANG the Lord’s Prayer?!!! Every time we attend Mass and the congregation “sings” off key the Our Father, we want to gag. We are sure the Lord does, too!
This brings us to the Truth about Mary — Jesus’ Mother. For this is the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Her cousin Elizabeth. Her cousin who was beyond child-bearing years; but, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit, Elizabeth, like Sarah, conceived a son in her old age.
That son was to grow up and be St. John the Baptist. The cousin of our Lord. And the very man who will anoint Jesus in the Jordan River and speak the immortal words, “Behold, the Lamb of God; behold, Him who taketh away the sin of the world!”
(John 1:29)
John was a man the Lord raised up to be, as Jesus said, the greatest prophet who ever lived! John’s father, Zachary, was a priest in the Temple. Yet, it was John who would challenge the status quo of a priesthood that was no longer pleasing to God. A priesthood that had exceeded its bounds and was about to be made null and void and replaced with a New Covenant. (Is Jesus showing us an example here about our current failed priesthood and the hierarchy that supports it as we all know we are about to enter a “New Era”? P.S.: the death of John Paul II could be a key to this event!)
Yet, as we once pondered before, John baptized Jesus, but who baptized John?
In fact, who baptized Mary?
In reality, these are pretty simple answers if we but believe and have the faith of a child. The Person who baptized Mary is none other than — drum roll, please — the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit Himself. When did this occur? Mary was baptized when She was conceived in Her mother's womb and confirmed after She spoke Her immortal words, “Behold, the Handmaid of the Lord. Be it done to Me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38). Then the Holy Ghost, as promised, came upon Mary, and the Power of the Most High overshadowed Her! (see Luke 1:35).
It is extremely important that we comprehend what the word “overshadow” means. Does it mean to cast a shadow over a person in this instance? NO!
In this case, what the Holy Spirit is doing to Mary is to “shroud” Her. He is putting His “Mantle” around Her! Indeed, this incredible act by God — which cannot be said of any other woman in the Bible — is done to really “hide” Mary, to “conceal” Her role, “obscure” it, “screen,” “mask” it, and throw a “veil” over it.
Why?
Because Mary is God’s greatest SECRET weapon!
Everyone claims to love God, but here is the ultimate test!!! Do you love Me, He asks all believers; well, then how do you feel about the Woman I chose to be My Mother and Queen!!! And many fail this ultimate test!
Many say, we don’t know Her. We don’t want to know Her. We can’t stand Her. We will not accept Her as our Queen. We will not have this “woman” rule over us! We will not honor Her. We will not thank Her. We will ignore Her!!!
But these retorts and comments are all wrong. And they are not scriptural. They are false and of the devil — the first one who denied Mary Her rights as God’s Queen!
How can we be so sure?
Because there is someone far more important than any protest-ant preacher or Catholic theologian. Far more important than any priest. More important than any pope. More important than any web site or “opinions” of any persons.
That person is in the Scriptures.
That person is someone whom the Lord called the greatest of all prophets.
That someone is, of course, St. John the Baptist. The very man God Himself will use to anoint His only-begotten Son!
And what did St. John do when he was still in the womb of his mother, St. Elizabeth?
AT THE SOUND OF MARY’S VOICE, ST. JOHN LEAPT IN THE WOMB OF HIS MOTHER!
St. John did not leap, according to the Scriptures, because the Infant Jesus was already within the Womb of His Mother (although we are sure this was God as the Holy Child, doing what He loves to do best: acting through Mary)!
St. John did not leap because He heard the Voice of the Lamb of God.
He leapt in his mother’s womb because he heard the voice of Mary!
In reality, we must completely comprehend that St. John did not leap because nothing happened when Mary “saluted” her older cousin Elizabeth, who was “filled with the Holy Ghost.” A salute that Elizabeth gave despite the traditions of Israel that the young were to salute the old! Instead, the mother of the greatest prophet gave homage to her young kinswoman by “crying out with a loud voice,” and exclaiming, “And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:41-43)
And why did God not only allow this event to occur, but ensured it was recorded in Scripture for us?
God allowed St. John to leap in his mother’s womb and record for us that his mother was “filled with the Holy Ghost” to explain, not for Mary’s sake, but for our sake, the importance of Jesus’ Mother’s role in salvation. “For behold [in other words, pay attention, biblical idiots] as soon as the voice of thy [Mary’s] salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy!” (Luke 1:44)
And the reason St. John leapt for joy over the greeting of Mary to the Baptizer’s mother is simple. It is something the Church and the Saints have taught for many centuries.
It defines the role of Mary as the Mediatrix of All Graces.
For when the Holy Ghost “overshadowed” Mary, She took on a subservient role to the Spirit of God. But a subservient role in which God dispenses His graces through the Hands of the Mother of Jesus!
And, in reality, it is Mary who baptized St. John the Baptist and cleansed him from Original Sin! The first display of power by the Mediatrix of All Graces!
That is why Elizabeth is astounded that the “Mother” of her Lord should “come” to her! “Because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to Thee by the Lord”
Luke 1:45.
Today, we have those in protest-ant-ism who are betting their farm — that is, their eternal salvation and rewards — on believing they know what “those things” are that “were spoken” to Mary by “the Lord.” They are throwing their dice against the odds of the teachings of the 1st-millennium Church, the Saints — such as Pope St. Felix I — and the messages of Jesus and Mary!
They, and today, many in the Catholic Church as well, believe they know all the “great things” God has done for Mary (Luke 1:49).
And those “great things” do not include the necessity for any of them to bow down, honor and pray to Mary in order for Her to help us get to Heaven. Instead, they ultimately bow down to the Church, the pope, the cardinal, their local bishop or priest, rather than appear to be “disobedient.” (These people know Mary spoke of “ecclesiastical masonry,” but God forbid we should identify who they are!)
In reality, St. John was the first to recognize what “great things” God has done for and to Mary. And St. John was the first man God used to challenge the authority of the corrupt hierarchy that was currently ruling during the time of Jesus and Mary!
In this critical view, as Sacred Tradition in the Church and the Saints teach us, on that day that Mary came to Her cousin Elizabeth, St. John did not hear the greeting of the Church, the pope, the bishop, or the priest; instead, he heard the greeting of Mary to his mother while yet in the womb — and he knew instinctually he would not have to be baptized.
In order to do his mission as the Baptizer, Mary — “overshadowed” by the Holy Ghost — was used by God to cleanse St. John of Original Sin. That is why he leapt for joy in his mother’s womb. For Jesus and Mary, while they choose to work within the Church, do not always have to do so — for the Son of God, as He proved to the Israelites, is Lord of the Sabbath!
Does anyone believe St. John leapt for joy because he heard the sound of a woman’s voice?
No, he leapt in his mother’s womb because he had been cleansed from the stain of Original Sin through the Power of the Holy Ghost acting through Mary as the Mediatrix of All Graces!
The very same sin St. John will cleanse others from as he baptizes with water in the Jordan River. And here is a lesson for protest-ants. For while the Bible records Jesus being baptized by St. John, IT WAS UNNECESSARY! For Original Sin is NOT a sin Jesus needed to be cleansed from! For Jesus is the spotless Lamb of God. But as an example of baptism for us, the Lord allowed Himself to be baptized by His cousin. And the Most Holy Trinity will do this explicitly so that St. John might spiritually see Jesus anointed as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
In this historical look at the Truths of the 1st Millennium Church, Saturday is not the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin. It is more important that we remember Saturday was originally known as the Feast of Mary as the Mediatrix of All Graces. In fact, Pope Benedict XV, the secret pontiff behind the reason for Mary’s apparition at Fatima, granted this feast to be celebrated throughout the United States. There is a whole Mass dedicated to Mary as the Mediatrix.
How many will attend this Mass? How many priests will offer it?
We will hear of this great Truth about Mary from our hierarchy?
The answer, of course, is no. We do not even hear of Fatima from most of them. And we are now in a situation that despite all the talk about the “Final Marian Dogma,” Cardinal Ratzinger recently stated he saw no reason for this dogma to be promulgated. He had the unscriptural nerve to state that there was no “scriptural” basis for it. Nor did “Sacred Tradition” support it. Nor was it good for the sake of “ecumenism”!
Really, Cardinal Ratzinger? Perhaps we are not reading the same Gospel of Luke? Perhaps we do not read the same comments from Saints.
We really don’t care what anyone thinks about our web site — that is, of course, expect for One. The Lord Jesus.
And, after reading the Scriptures about the Blessed Virgin and St. John, researching the Sacred Traditions and the Saints, we cannot comprehend how anyone in the “Catholic” Church could make such a statement. No matter what their position.
Unless, of course, one was not trying to please God and one was, instead, trying to please the creature.
We have a different concern. A concern that the Church stop trying to please the United Nations, the schismatic “churches,” the ecclesiastical masons within its ranks, and the so-called faithful who think if one should say one “bad” thing about the Church or voice one concern that it is heresy or blasphemy. The Church, as it has proven by scandal after scandal, is NOT spotless! Only Jesus and Mary are!
Instead, it is time for Pope John Paul II — before he moves to his eternal reward — to stop listening to a hierarchy that is more interested in ecumenism than it is in the Truths of the Church, the Saints and the Scriptures.
It is beyond time for the Final Marian Dogma to be declared that Mary is the Mediatrix of All Graces, Advocate of the People of God and “Co-Redemptrix.”
It is time for the Church to make up for its past sins since Vatican II and please its Lord — not its hierarchy.
It is time for the Church to stop disobeying its Queen, from Her requests as Our Lady of Fatima, to Our Lady of All Nations, to Our Lady of America.
It is time for those, whether within or without the Catholic Church, to either get on the side of Mary all the way or face the consequences — not from us, but from the Just Judge, who is about to weigh the deeds of all.
It is time to stop just reporting about weeping icons and statues and put an end to Mary’s tears.
We pray, may the Lord Jesus not find us lacking — instead of being lackeys to “ecumenism” — in the defense of His Mother!
