When the Sacrifice is No Longer Greater

Posted on by

 

At the end of November, I shared with you the powerful counter-witness of Kirsten and David MacDonald against the strong tide of the culture of death that is sweeping through Canada. As the country’s suicide rate soared through euthanasia, Kirsten — bedridden with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) — became a prisoner in her own body. Yet, she refused to take her life, instead offering it up for “priests and humanity.”  I went to visit them both last week, to spend time together watching and praying in the last days of her life.Continue reading →

Taking Back Your Health

Posted on by

 

I think it was no coincidence that, as governments around the world were declaring a “pandemic”, the Lord put a fire in me to write Taking Back God’s Creation. It was a powerful “now word”: it is time to acknowledge again the wonderful gifts God has bestowed on us for our health, healing, and well-being within creation itself — gifts that have been lost to the iron fist of the Big Pharma complex and their abetters, and to a lesser degree, the occult and New Age practitioners.Continue reading →

The Mystery of the Kingdom of God

Posted on by

 

What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took
and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.
(Today’s Gospel)

 

Every day, we pray the words: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” Jesus would not have taught us to pray as such unless we were to expect the Kingdom yet to come. At the same time, the first words of Our Lord in His ministry were:Continue reading →

Who is the True Pope?

Posted on by

 

Recent headlines from Catholic news outlet LifeSiteNews (LSN) have been shocking:

“We shouldn’t be afraid of concluding that Francis isn’t pope: here’s why” (October 30, 2024)
“Prominent Italian priest claims Francis is not the pope in viral sermon” (October 24, 2024)
“Doctor Edmund Mazza: Here’s why I believe the Bergoglian pontificate is invalid“ (November 11, 2024)
“Patrick Coffin: Pope Benedict left us clues that he did not validly resign” (November 12, 2024)

The authors of these articles must know the stakes: if they are right, they are on the vanguard of a new sedevacantist movement that will reject Pope Francis at every turn. If they’re wrong, they are essentially playing chicken with Jesus Christ Himself, whose authority resides with Peter and his successors to whom He has given “the keys of the Kingdom.”Continue reading →

The Coming Counterfeit

Posted on by

The Mask, by Michael D. O’Brien

 

First published, April, 8th 2010.

 

THE warning in my heart continues to grow about a coming deception, which may in fact be the one described in 2 Thess 2:11-13. What follows after the so-called “illumination” or “warning” is not only a brief but powerful period of evangelization, but a dark counter-evangelization that will, in many ways, be just as convincing. Part of the preparation for that deception is knowing beforehand that it is coming:

Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets… I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. (Amos 3:7; John 16:1-4)

Satan not only knows what is coming, but has been planning for it for a long time. It is exposed in the language being used…Continue reading →

The Itty Bitty Path

Posted on by

The gate is narrow
and the way is hard
that leads to life,
and those who find it are few.
(Matt 7:14)

 

It seems to me that this path has become narrower, rockier, and more treacherous than ever before. Now, the teardrops and sweat of the saints begin to emerge beneath one’s feet; the true test of one’s faith becomes a steeper incline; the bloody footprints of the martyrs, still damp with their sacrifice, glisten in the fading twilight of our times. For the Christian today, it is a path that either fills one with terror…. or calls one deeper. As such, the path is less trampled, evidenced by fewer and fewer souls willing to take this journey that, ultimately, follows in the footsteps of our Master.

A letter from a reader…

Just watched your video with Daniel O’Connor.  Why is God delaying His mercy and justice?!  We live in times more evil than before the great flood and in Sodom and Gomorrah.  The great Warning would seem to “shake” the world and result in major conversions.  Why do we continue to live in so much evil and darkness in this world, where believers can barely stand any more?!  God is AWOL [“away without leave”] and satan is slaughtering believers every day, and the assault does not end… I have lost hope in His plan.

The Popes and the Dawning Era

Posted on by

 

The LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said:
“Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning
and shown the dawn its place
for taking hold of the ends of the earth,
till the wicked are shaken from its surface?”
(Job 38: 1, 12-13)

We thank you because your Son is to come again in majesty to
judge those who have refused to repent and acknowledge you;
while to all who have acknowledged you,
worshiped you, and served you in penitence, He will
say: Come, you blessed of my Father, take possession
of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning
of the world.
—St. Francis of Assisi,The Prayers of Saint Francis,
Alan Name, Tr. © 1988, New City Press

 

THERE can be no doubt that the pontiffs of the last century have been exercising their prophetic office so as to awaken believers to the drama unfolding in our day (see Why Aren’t the Popes Shouting?). It is a decisive battle between the culture of life and the culture of death… the woman clothed with the sun—in labor to give birth to a new era—versus the dragon who seeks to destroy it, if not attempt to establish his own kingdom and “new age” (see Rev 12:1-4; 13:2). But while we know Satan will fail, Christ will not. The great Marian saint, Louis de Montfort, frames it well:

Dear Holy Father… He is Coming!

TO His Holiness, Pope Francis:

 

Dear Holy Father,

Throughout the pontificate of your predecessor, St. John Paul II, he continually invoked us, the youth of the Church, to become “morning watchmen at the dawn of the new millennium.” [1]POPE JOHN PAUL II, Novo Millennio Inuente, n.9; (cf. Is 21:11-12)

…watchmen who proclaim to the world a new dawn of hope, brotherhood and peace. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Address to the Guanelli Youth Movement, April 20th, 2002, www.vatican.va

From Ukraine to Madrid, Peru to Canada, he beckoned us to become “protagonists of the new times” [2]POPE JOHN PAUL II, Welcome Ceremony, International Airport of Madrid-Baraja, May 3rd, 2003; www.fjp2.com that lay directly ahead of the Church and the world:

Dear young people, it is up to you to be the watchmen of the morning who announce the coming of the sun who is the Risen Christ! —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Message of the Holy Father to the Youth of the World, XVII World Youth Day, n. 3; (cf. Is 21:11-12)

Medjugorje… and Hairsplitting

Posted on by

All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
(Ecclesiastes 1:8)

 

IN recent weeks, the Vatican has surprised many with announcements pertaining to the mystical realm. The late Fr. Stefano Gobbi, who founded the Marian Movement of Priests, was declared a Servant of God and his Cause for canonization opened; the canonization process of another Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, was issued a nihil obstat to proceed after a brief pause; the Vatican affirmed the current bishop’s judgement regarding the alleged apparitions at Garabandal that “there are no elements to conclude that they are supernatural”; and the phenomenon surrounding the decades-old and ongoing apparitions at Medjugorje were given an official ruling, namely, a nihil obstat.

Love Grown Cold

THERE is a Scripture lingering on my heart for months now, one I would consider a chief “sign of the times”:

Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold. (Matt 24:11-12)

What many people may not connect is “false prophets” with the “increase of evildoing.” But today, there is a direct connection.Continue reading →

Apostasy… From the Top?

In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things,
that the great apostasy in the Church begins at the top.

—Cardinal Luigi Ciappi,
—cited in The Still Hidden Secret,
Christopher A. Ferrara, p. 43

 

 

IN a statement on the Vatican’s website, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone provided an interpretation of the so-called “Third Secret of Fatima” suggesting that the vision had already been fulfilled by the attempted assassination of John Paul II. To say the least, many Catholics were left perplexed and unconvinced. Many felt there was nothing in this vision that was too astonishing to be revealed, as Catholics had been told in decades prior. What exactly disturbed popes so much that they allegedly kept the secret hidden all those years? It’s a fair question.Continue reading →

IF we seek Jesus, the Beloved, we should seek Him where He is. And where He is, is there, on the altars of His Church.

This Great Scattering

Woe to the shepherds of Israel
who have been pasturing themselves!
Should not shepherds pasture the flock?
(Ezekiel 34:5-6)

 

IT’S clear the Church has entered a period of great confusion and division — exactly what Our Lady predicted at Akita when she said:

The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. —to the late Sr. Agnes Sasagawa of Akita, Japan, October 13th, 1973

It follows that if the shepherds are in disarray, so too, will be the sheep. Spend an hour or two on social media and you’ll find Catholics openly and bitterly divided in unexpected ways.Continue reading →

Luisa’s Cause Resumes

Posted on by

 

A storm has swirled of late around Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta. Her Cause for canonization was reportedly “paused” earlier this year due to a private letter from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) to another bishop. The Korean bishops and a couple others issued negative statements against the Servant of God that were theologically weak. Then a rash of YouTube videos appeared from a priest calling the messages of Luisa, which bear some 19 Imprimaturs and Nihil Obstats, “pornographic” and “demonic.” His bizarre rants (more “toxic radical traditionalism“) played well into those who have not properly studied the messages of this Servant of God, which reveal as it were the “science” of the Divine Will. Moreover, it was a direct contradiction of the Church’s official position that remains in effect to this day:

When We Doubt

SHE looked at me like I was crazy. As I spoke at a conference about the Church’s mission to evangelize and the power of the Gospel, a woman seated near the back had a contorted look on her face. She would occasionally whisper mockingly to her sister sitting beside her and then return to me with a stupefied gaze. It was hard not to notice. But then, it was hard not to notice her sister’s expression, which was markedly different; her eyes spoke of a soul searching, processing, and yet, not certain.Continue reading →

A Man-Made Famine

HAY season is just wrapping up for me (which is why I have been absent of late). Today, as I was heading to the last field to harvest, I was taking notice of the crops around me. As far as the eye could see, almost all of them are canola. This is (now) a genetically modified seed that is sprayed with glyphosate (aka. Roundup) several times before harvesting.[1]Glyphosate is now linked to sperm reduction and cancer. The end product is not something you can eat, at least, not directly. The seed is turned into various products such as canola oil or margarine — but not an edible like wheat, barley, or rye.

The Gift

Posted on by

 

In my reflection On Radical Traditionalism, I ultimately pointed toward a spirit of rebellion in both the so-called “extreme conservative” as well as “progressive” in the Church. In the former, they only accept a narrow theological view of the Catholic Church while rejecting the fullness of the Faith. On the other hand, the progressive attempts to alter or add to the “deposit of faith.” Neither is borne of the Spirit of truth; neither is in keeping with Sacred Tradition (despite their protests).Continue reading →

On Radical Traditionalism

THERE is no question that a post-Vatican II revolution of “progressives” has wreaked havoc in the Church, ultimately levelling entire religious orders, church architecture, music and Catholic culture – manifestly witnessed in all things surrounding the Liturgy. I have written much about the damage to the Mass as it emerged after the Second Vatican Council (see Weaponizing the Mass). I have heard first-hand accounts of how “reformers” entered into parishes late at night, white-washing iconography, smashing statues, and taking a chainsaw to ornate high altars. In their place, a simple altar covered in a white cloth was left standing in the middle of the sanctuary — to the horror of many churchgoers at the next Mass. “What the Communists did in our churches by force,” immigrants from Russia and Poland have said to me, “is what you’re doing yourselves!”Continue reading →

Ask, Seek, and Knock

Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you…
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father
give good things to those who ask him.
(Matt 7:7-11)


Recently, the writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta have been cast into doubt, if not slanderously attacked, by certain radical traditionalists.[1]cf. Luisa Attacked Again; One claim is that Luisa’s writings are “pornographic” because of symbolic imagery, for example, of Luisa “suckling” at the breast of Christ. However, this is the very mystical language of Scripture itself: “You shall suck the milk of nations, and be nursed at royal breasts… That you may drink with delight at her abundant breasts!… As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you…” (Isaiah 60:16, 66:11-13) There was also a leaked private communique between the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and a bishop that appears to have suspended her Cause while the Korean bishops issued a negative but strange ruling.[2]see Is Luisa Piccarreta’s Cause Suspended? However, the official position of the Church on the writings of this Servant of God remains one of “approval” as her writings bear the proper ecclesial seals, which have not been revoked by the Pope.[3]ie. Luisa’s first 19 volumes received the Nihil Obstat from St. Hannibal di Francia, and the Imprimatur from Bishop Joseph Leo. The Twenty Four Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ and The Blessed Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will also bear the same ecclesiastical seals.Continue reading →

Defending Vatican II & the Renewal

Posted on by

 

We may see that attacks
against the Pope and the Church
do not only come from outside;
rather, the sufferings of the Church
come from inside the Church,
from the sin that exists in the Church.
This was always common knowledge,
but today we see it in truly terrifying form:
the greatest persecution of the Church
does not come from external enemies,
but is born of sin within the Church.
—POPE BENEDICT XVI,
interview on flight to Lisbon,
Portugal, May 12th, 2010

 

WITH a collapse of leadership in the Catholic Church and a progressive agenda emerging from Rome, more and more Catholics are fleeing their parishes to seek out “traditional” Masses and havens of orthodoxy.Continue reading →

IN 2012, as my flight soared above California, I felt the Spirit urging me to read Revelation Chapters 17-18. As I began to read, it was as though a veil was lifting on this arcane book, like another page of thin tissue turning to reveal a bit more of the mysterious image of the “end times.” The word “apocalypse” means, in fact, the unveiling.

What I read began to put America into a completely new biblical light. As I researched the historical foundations of that country, I could not help but see it as perhaps the most worthy candidate of what St. John called “mystery babylon” (read Mystery Babylon). Since then, two recent trends seem to cement that view…

What Have You Done?

The Lord said to Cain: “What have you done?
The voice of your brother’s blood
is crying to me from the ground” (Gen 4:10).
—POPE ST JOHN PAUL II, Evangelium Vitae, n. 10

And so I solemnly declare to you this day
that I am not responsible
for the blood of any of you,
for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you
the entire plan of God…
So be vigilant and remember
that for three years, night and day,
I unceasingly admonished each of you
with tears.
(Acts 20:26-27, 31)

 

After three years of intensive research and writing on the “pandemic,” including a documentary that went viral, I have written very little about it in the past year. Partly due to extreme burnout, partly a need to decompress from the discrimination and hatred my family experienced in the community where we formerly lived. That, and one can only warn so much until you hit critical mass: when those with ears to hear have heard — and the rest will only understand once the consequences of unheeded warning touches them personally.

On Deliverance

Posted on by

 

ONE of the “now words” the Lord has sealed on my heart is that He is allowing His people to be tested and refined in a kind of “last call” to the saints. He is allowing the “cracks” in our spiritual lives to be exposed and exploited in order to shake us, as there is no longer any time left to sit on the fence. It is as though a gentle warning from Heaven before the Warning, like the illuminating light of dawn before the Sun breaks the horizon. This illumination is a gift [1]Heb 12:5-7: ‘“My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges.” Endure your trials as “discipline”; God treats you as sons. For what “son” is there whom his father does not discipline?’ to awaken us to the great spiritual dangers that we are facing since we have entered an epochal change — the time of harvest. Continue reading →
