It is with great sadness that we continue to see the symbolic attacks against the Mother of God. The news from Britain has not been good (nor is it good in America, or anywhere else in the world).
Recently, without any temporal repercussions (where are our so-called leaders in this?), major media have defamed Jesus' Mother.
First, with the airing by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) of a "Christmas" special on the life of Mary. The depictions of the Blessed Virgin were anything but.
Second, the Times of London seems to feel it too can join the fray as fashion speaks louder than words. This week, they displayed on the cover of their Sunday magazine a scantily clad woman in mock display of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
Of course, as the BBC stated, and we're sure the Times would agree, they had no idea anyone would be offended, let alone God and His Mother. Nor do these organizations, or others like them, nor the people in them, believe they are doing anything wrong.
It is called spiritual blindness.
We encounter it every day of our lives, everywhere, and in every situation. It stems from a disease that has infected every Christian nation. It is an anti-Mary virus, which in reality is anti-Christ. It finds its root cause in protest-ant-ism. First, this virus protests against Jesus in the Eucharist; the next logical protest is to offend the Mother of the Eucharist.
The people who have been infected with this virus will find out they have committed a very serious crime, and unless we wake them up now by spoon feeding them the medication of reality, it will be too late once they have passed on.
This blindness that people suffer so drastically from is part of the Great Spiritual Battle. If we did not actually live our lives, it would be easy for all of us to stand before God and, when He Judges us for a free-will crime, to claim that we NEVER would have done something like that!
"Lord, how could You claim I would offend Your Mother? I would NEVER do something so evil!"
By allowing us to live without interference from Him, we do not prove anything to Him. We are proving it to ourselves. And, depending on our actions, we are gaining or losing eternal rewards.
So when people die and they have made fun of Mary or rejected Her or dishonored Her, they have proven to themselves that they really do not want to be in Heaven with God, for any fool knows Jesus is real (the Shroud proves it!) and a Woman Named Mary is with Him.
How can these people be allowed in Heaven when they have dishonored His Mother? Would you let someone into your home who dishonored your mother?
"Hypocrites, well did Isaias prophesy of you saying, 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me; and in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.' " Matthew 15:7-9.
Interestingly, when the Lord spoke these words to the leaders of Israel at this time, it was in the context of the Commandment to honor thy father and thy mother.
Is there anyone who can be so blind as to not understand that to be close to the Heart of Jesus is to be close to the Heart of His Mother? Have so many who honor Jesus with their lips gone so literally mad with the Scriptures that they do not believe Jesus honors His own Mother in Heaven and they MUST do so also?
Is there anyone at the BBC or the Times of London who would dare publicly dishonor their queen and then expect to get past the guard at Buckingham Palace?
As the virus of protest-ant-ism continues its infectious course, it leads to agnosticism, which leads to atheism, which leads to communism, which leads to -- well, you get the picture. In the BBC's letter of defense to Christians Against Blasphemy, it was noted that the program depicting Mary as anything but a virgin was based on the work of "scholars" and "historians"! In other words, secularists; people who have lost the faith.
How can one be close to the Heart of Jesus when one does not believe in the Eucharist? How can one grow in the love of God and His Mother when the basic gifts given to the 1st Millennium Church are rejected by those who think they know better?
And so, in our quest to please ourselves and our fellow creatures, the Truths of the 1st Millennium have been brushed aside. They have become null and void. Don't let a believer run the religious programming of the BBC, let's ensure fair and equal treatment by having an avowed agnostic run it. We've come a long way since St. Thomas More wrote for an unworthy king; writings which once bestowed the title of "Defender of the Faith" upon the head of a Christian nation.
This, then, is the price the Queen of Heaven and Earth has paid. As the Kingdom of Christ was rejected in the 2nd Millennium, Mary became its primary casualty.
It is the price Mary has paid for Her Immaculate Conception. She has paid through Her tears in Heaven and on Earth.
As the only human being conceived without the stain of Original Sin, God, who is mighty, has done great things to Her; but then He has extracted through Her Immaculate tears great graces for those who do not deserve them. When these people die, it will be Mary who will plead for them. And perhaps, if they have not gone too far in their ignorance, God will have Mercy, not because the people deserve it, but because His Mother requested it. These people will not go to Heaven, but Purgatory, where they will spend thousands of years paying for their crimes.
And when they finally get out and have paid the last penny, there will be one special Person they will thank for Eternity: the Woman they rejected; the Mother of All the Living, the Immaculata, and Mediatrix of All Graces. They will praise God for His Mercy that He allowed His Mother to intercede and pray for them.
This is why She asks us to pray so fervently. Mary told Sister Lucy of Fatima fame that more people go to hell because no one prayed for them. When we pray, Mary as the Mediatrix, uses our prayers, tears and sufferings to plead for souls. Souls who are ignorant. Souls who are asleep. Souls who have been deceived.
Our eternal rewards will be based on how many souls we help Jesus and Mary save.
Those who are not innocent and were willful in their hate for the Mother of God will go directly to hell, for God will not even let Mary plead for them.
But until this test of mankind is over -- a test to determine who will follow the first one, the fallen angel, that rejected the Mother and Her Son -- Mary will continue to cry. As She said in one of Her messages: "My children, what have I done to deserve this?"
She has done nothing to deserve this. It is only the price She has paid for Her Immaculate Conception.
And until mankind recognizes Mary as our Mother, there can be no Christian unity, no global peace, and no end to the world's tears.
For the end of Mary's tears is the end of the world's tears.
We cannot delay any longer. We, as Her children, must rise up in one spiritual voice to our God in Heaven with a strength to compensate for the 6 billion who do not. And with that voice, cry out from one end of the Earth to the other for an end to Mary's tears by imploring our God, Christ the King, to grant us the promise of Her Triumph as She prophesied at Fatima.
And, in the 3rd Millennium, in the restoration of the Kingdom of Christ, for Jesus to
Enthrone our Queen, O King!
Then there will be an end to Mary's tears and ours.
