If You Can't Say Something Nice About Mary ...
The very words they refuse to believe because it comes from an apparition that originally started with Mary and three shepherd children in a place called Fatima, Portugal. What most protest-ants don’t know — and probably wouldn’t believe anyway — is that the only surviving seer of the 1917 miracle, a woman by the name of Sister Lucia, not only saw Mary, but at various times, the Lord Jesus also appeared to Her. Jesus not only confirmed His Mother's messages, but gave some of His own.
This now leaves the protest-ants who deny the miraculous Fatima apparition of Mary with another perplexing problem. If, as they claim the apparitions are a trick of the devil, then they also have to state that the visions Sister Lucy had of Jesus are false as well. That would completely contradict the Lord’s words in the Scriptures that a “kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.” How could the evil one use not only Jesus’ Mother’s image but images of Jesus Himself and not be divided against his evil kingdom, especially since the messages Sister Lucy received instructed mankind to WORSHIP the Lord Jesus as the Son of God? Conversely, how could the messages NOT be from Jesus and His Mother as the Lord would then be contradicting Himself if He let His enemy use Him to confuse His own people, right?
And remember, that those who deny these messages are not receiving or claiming to receive messages, it is ONLY THEIR OPINION! Nor have they ever investigated the seer personally or witnessed the miracles that attended the apparitions.
So somebody has to be wrong about Sister Lucy and what happened to her — either she received messages and visions from Mary, the Mother of God, and Jesus, the Son of God, or she did not. And please do not forget that the three Fatima visionaries were investigated by the Church and the apparitions and messages approved as miraculous in nature in 1930, and confirmed again in 2000 by someone far more important and spiritual than a “scholar”: his name is Pope John Paul II! He stated that his pontificate was a fulfillment of one of the Fatima prophecies!
To further emphasize the reality of these message and that we can bet all our spiritual dollars on Sister Lucy one need only to examiner her life. Why? Simple. What did Sister Lucy do as a result of the visitations of Jesus and Mary to her? Did she become a rich, worldly, successful businesswoman and/or preacher of the Gospel wearing fancy gold and jewelry as so many protest-ants do?
WRONG! As a result of her incredible experience, Lucia, the 9-year-old child who saw and spoke with the Blessed Virgin and Jesus BECAME A NUN AND HAS LIVED IN A CONVENT EVER SINCE! Sister Lucy occupies her time making Rosaries and Scapulars. She is now in her 90s. So for eight decades, her life has been profoundly changed! Her main task is praying for peace!
When Sister Lucy first saw the Lord and His Mother, she and her cousins were simple shepherd children. How interesting. Who first saw Jesus and Mary that first Christmas? Was it simple shepherd children or the biblical “scholars” of the time? Christ the same yesterday, today and forever!
So what has the Lord said to Sister Lucy regarding those who attack His Mother? It came about that Sister Lucy was asked by her confessor to inquire of the Lord how could He, as a God of Mercy, send people to hell? What an incredible question! So many people reject God on the basis that His Judgment can condemn someone to eternal perdition. Sister Lucy trembled at the idea of asking such a thing of the Lord. But in obedience to her confessor who insisted, she humbly asked Jesus this question.
The Lord, who knew the question was coming, told Sister Lucy that it was EASY for Him to answer this question that perplexes humans! He explained FIVE reasons why he sends most people to hell -- and all of them revolve around the fact that these people HAVE OFFENDED HIS HOLY MOTHER!
Can you imagine this? Some Christians believe that because they say His Name they are going right into Heaven when instead — because they have offended Jesus’ Holy Mother — they might find themselves going straight to hell!
Now don’t get us wrong, we are NOT their judges. He is. But we must understand the incredible deceit that is going on here. The evil one knows how offended Jesus is by those who offend the Lord’s Mother — and the evil one WANTS YOU to offend Mary.
And the evil one is doing a good job of getting people to do that. Just look around and listen to see and hear the evidence. In today's current climate, offensives against Mary are bountiful.
Jesus told Sister Lucy these are the five reasons He sends people to hell for offending His Mother. Here is HIS LIST:
1. They don’t believe in Her Immaculate Conception; they call Her a common sinner like the rest of us and denigrate Her holiness.
2. They don’t believe in Mary’s perpetual virginity. They believe the Mother of God had other children besides Jesus. (Isn’t this the ossuary story?) Why would Jesus be upset by this? As a jealous God, He protects His Holy Mother’s reputation and this includes Her virginity!
3. They do not respect images and icons of Mary and even destroy them.
4. They do not accept Mary as their Queen and as the Mother of mankind.
5. They steal children from Her by teaching them not to honor Her or pray to Her.
Wow. Can you imagine what all those protest-ant ministers face when they personally meet the Lord Jesus after years of teaching children NOT to say, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee”?
This is why we keep talking about the current situation in the media with the "inscription" on this ossuary box that has already been declared a fake by competent Israeli experts.
Yet, what is the world doing, especially again, these so-called “Christian scholars”? Everyone is falling all over themselves to talk about this box and how it is challenging the concept of Mary’s perpetual virginity and Catholic teaching. They disguise themselves under the banner of attacking “Catholicism.”
What they are really doing is falling right into the evil one’s trap and not attacking Catholicism, but attacking Mary. That is a danger no self-respecting Christian should be involved with, whether Catholic, protest-ant or otherwise.
Interestingly, without the seer inquiring, Mary told Sister Lucy that there was another reason Her Son sends people to hell. A sixth reason. Mary said many people go to hell because NO ONE HAS PRAYED FOR THEM!
So we will end this discussion by praying for those who believe they can attack Mary without really knowing the Truth and get away with it. They won’t. None of us will get out of this planet alive — and we will all face Her Son.
Again, we plead with anyone who may read this: how do you want to face Him? How would you deal with people who attack your mother? If you are unsure of this battle, keep a word to the wise: if you can’t say anything nice about Mary, don’t say anything at all!
A prayer for those who attack the Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary.
