Microcosm
The above title, microcosm, tells the whole story of each present day generation. If that is not understood we cannot learn from the past. Why is that? It is because each generation is inclined to believe that it is unique, and it cannot learn from the past.The time and geographical setting of Christ on this earth is a microcosm of all generations before and after His time. It means that every generation of people is the same as that with which Christ lived. Except for Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, all men come into this world with the weaknesses of Original Sin, and thus must be ever vigilant against the vices of pride, avarice, lust, envy, gluttony, anger and sloth. An effective way to remember them is using the mnemonic “PALE-GAS” which is the first letter of each of these vices. And knowing them is essential to dealing with them in ourselves and in others.
It must be remembered that Christ is true God and true man. His human nature was so much in subjection to His divine nature that everything He said and did had the divine in it. Hence, as He confronted men burdened with original sin (still unconquered) there was a clash. When the divine demands that the human must be divinized, that is, made perfect and elevated, generally there is opposition. Mankind, in general, wants to remain proud, greedy, impure, envious, gluttonous, angry, and slothful. The divine is most exacting. Men must, with the help of actual grace, overcome pride with humility, avarice with generosity, lust with purity, gluttony with abstinence, anger with meekness and slothfulness with joyful service.
In order to discredit Our Lord, evil men called Him all kinds of evil names. They accused Him of violating the Sabbath. They said He had a devil. They said he “seduced the people.” They accused Him of blasphemy. Christ in turn asked them “why do you tempt Me, you hypocrites.” Christ’s holy and just actions and words demanded conversion, and conversion was something they refused. Christ would not capitulate and His enemies would not capitulate, and there you have the elements of conflict.
Christ came and brought peace to those of good will and misery to those of ill will. The Catholic Church, to the end of time, is, and will be Christ on earth. Just as men of bad will persecuted Christ, so men of bad will certainly persecute the Church. Hence, there will never be a time when the Church is not persecuted.
We are reminded of an incident in the life of Pope St. Pius X. At a seminary he asked the students for the marks of the Church. Right out of the textbooks they answered that the marks of the Church are one, holy, catholic and apostolic. He praised the response. Then he asked them if there are more marks of the Church. All were quiet, for they had no answer. He said there is another mark of the Church, and that is “persecution.” There will never be a time when the Church will not be persecuted.
We shall make an observation that is most shocking. Who was it that opposed Our Lord the most? It was the religious leaders of God’s true Church that condemned Our Lord to death, and they had His execution performed by the civil authority. On Good Friday they lead the general public to despise Our Lord and call for His crucifixion.
The Church as the Mystical Body of Christ went through the very same thing that Our Lord went through, and that occurred before our very eyes. After the death of Pope Pius XII, the true Cardinals of the Catholic Church assembled to elect the next Pope. What did they do? They elected a Freemason, John XXIII, to lead the world to perdition. It was once more, for Christ in the Mystical Body, to receive the call, “Crucify Him!” The general public followed their Cardinals in a false obedience to their destruction. There you have what We started to tell you. The events of history as seen in Jerusalem repeat themselves. We live at the time when the temptation is so great that even the elect are confused until they are enlightened by God after sincere prayer and study.
During the course of history, many true Popes had evil clerics who lead the faithful to abandon the Church. Martin Luther was an Augustinian priest. Henry VIII of England seemed to be a zealous Catholic King. Woe to those who give scandal, and woe to those who fall for scandal. The Apostles as true followers of Christ were persecuted the same way that Christ was persecuted and for the same reasons. They showed forth the divine in their words and actions. To one and all, We tell you that if you live godly lives you will be persecuted. The more you become Christ-like in your words and actions the more you will follow Christ in being crucified.
The microcosm is this. The divine will never change, and much of fallen human nature will always oppose the divine. There you have the formula for war for all time.
Some people tell Us that it is impossible that the true Catholic Cardinals under Pope Pius XII could go into a conclave and bring forth a non-Catholic, a Freemason in the person of John XXIII, as the Pope. In other words the Cardinals told all of us to follow that evil man to perdition.
Make this review of history. The High Priest and the Sanhedrin
of God’s Church told the people to ignore Christ and to crucify Him, and
the general public did just that. Their action, in little Israel, was the
microcosm of the worldwide apostasy engineered by the Catholic Cardinals
on October 28, 1958 when they gave a bogus Pope to the world for their
perdition. Those who are still in that disastrous church, must get
out of it before it is too late to save your immortal souls.
Three Days of Darkness
The chief source of the following information is taken from the booklet entitled: Marie-Julie Jahenny, The Breton Stigmatist, Marquis de la Franquerie, published by, MMR Publishing, P.O. Box 37348, Omaha, Nebraska 68137.
On parts of pages 43 to 46 one reads the following:
“My dear children, all the souls living in His Divine Heart will run no danger; they will only have a faint knowledge of His anger. They will be enclosed in this immense sea of prodigies and power, during these great blows of divine justice” (August 17, 1905).And Our Lady states:“And Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. ‘The earth will become like a vast cemetery. The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground.’”
“The famine will be great…Everything will be thrown into confusion… The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption… (January 4, 1884).”
“The three days of darkness ‘will be on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross, and Our Lady…’ three days less one night.”
“‘The earth will be covered in darkness,’ says Our Lady on the 20th of September 1882, ‘and hell will be loosed on earth. The thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in my power to die of fear.’”
“During those three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible color it will have in those days of punishment, without dying at once…
“The sky will be on fire, the earth will split… During these three days of darkness let the blessed candle be lighted everywhere, no other light will shine…
“No one outside a shelter…will survive. The earth will shake as the judgment and fear will be great. Yes, we will listen to the prayers of your friends; not one will perish. We will need them to publish the Glory of the Cross” (December 8, 1882).
On the 24th of March 1881, she added: “Those who have served me well and invoked me, who have my blessed picture in their house, who carry my Rosary on them and say it often, I will keep intact all that belongs to them… The heat from Heaven will be unbearably hot, even in the closed homes. The whole sky will be on fire, but the lightning will not penetrate into the houses where there will be the light of the blessed candle. This light is the only thing that will protect you.”
“The candles of blessed wax alone will give light during this horrible darkness. One candle alone will be enough for the duration of this night of hell…In the homes of the wicked and blasphemers these candles will give no light.”
“Everything will shake except the piece of furniture on which the blessed candle is burning. This will not shake. You will all gather around the crucifix and my blessed picture. This is what will keep away this terror.”
Other Sources for Three Days Darkness
From various other sources We have the following information. Three quarters of the human race will die. For those with animals there will be sufficient warning in advance for them to put before their animals food and water for the three days of darkness.Once the divine punishment has begun those in the homes may not open a door to let others into the house. Those outside are among the “foolish virgins.”
You may ask if this crisis will hit the world during this coming Holy Week, some thirty days away? We have no revelation to know if it will hit this year, or if it will pass by for another year or so.
We know of people who treasure their blessed candles in the hope that
they are safe. While they remain in schism, can they say that they
are not numbered among the wicked where the blessed candles will not burn?
From the evidence that is available We feel certain that terrible three
days of darkness will come. Just when they will come We do not know.
Men of science know that on the fifth of May of this year, seven
planets will be lined up to put a tremendous (devastating) pull on the
earth. Consider this, May the fifth is just two weeks after Good Friday.
It is also the Feast day of Pope St. Pius V who wrote the Bull, “Quo Primum”
The Bulla was set to preserve the Holy Mass for all times. It was thrown
out by Paul 6 and Vatican II.

We add this; all should add at least a little to help out along in this
cause. We observed one fault in the book. It has a different
hour count for eating before the reception of Holy Communion. Just
common sense can correct that. The cover is of firm and smooth plastic
which will stand up even if accidentally it gets laid in water or on food.
The Brown Scapular and The Rosary
There are many scapulars, and each person must determine which one or ones he will put into his devotional life. There is one that every Catholic should be using, day and night, and that is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. As it is used in the Church today it has two origins. First of all, it was given to Simon Stock in England, and through him, by Our Lady’s command to the whole world. On top of that gift to the world, the Church gives the same scapular to us as a sacramental. She adds blessings and indulgences as she sees most becoming.In order to get the added Church blessings and indulgences of the Brown Scapular, one must be enrolled into the scapular by a priest with the proper rite. Some of you who have converted recently do not have the opportunity to get this enrollment. Hence, you can have the brown scapular merely as it was given to God’s children on earth by Our Blessed Lady. If you make or buy a scapular you can wear it over the shoulders as directed, and you will have Our Lady’s special help in life and especially at the moment of death. Our Heavenly Mother promised to all those who wear it as directed, that they will not be lost but will go to heaven. We copy Our Lady’s words as they are written on a scapular before us. It is: “Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” No enrollment is needed to come under the mantle of this most wonderful promise. Just buy (or make) a brown scapular and wear it as directed, over the shoulders.
What goes along with “wearing” the scapular? If one lives in a sinful life he is not a proper wearer of the scapular. A person who lives in schism, likewise, cannot expect his wearing the scapular to get him into heaven. Only those who struggle to live a truly godly life are proper wearers of the Brown Scapular. Hence, they alone will experience Our Lady’s promise: “Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.”
We mentioned that you can make your own scapular. Use brown woolen cloth with any kind of strings, from fish line to chains and of any color.
We suggest a good source for perfect Brown Scapulars. It is the same source as the Prayer Book advertised above. First We suggest added objects of devotion from that source.
- The Pure Wool Brown Scapular and leaflet are seventeen cents each.
- The Rosary is seventeen cents each.
- The Green Scapular is ten cents each.
- The Miraculous Medal is seven cents each.
Just check other sources where Brown Scapulars are sold. Generally they are three dollars each. We suggest a generous amount of support to help continue this service of love.
Those who have the joy of meeting Us be sure to request being enrolled
in the Five-fold Scapular, where one of them is the Brown Scapular.
The Five-fold Scapular is fifteen dollars. We wear it during
the day and at night We wear it as a medal attached to the Brown Scapular.
Those who have been enrolled in the Five-fold Scapular should get Us to
bless any medal, making it the substitute for the real thing. Then
hang it onto the simple Brown Scapular. Thus you greatly increase
your position as a favorite son or daughter of Our Blessed Mother.
While struggling to live a holy life, We dearly hope to have the privilege
to die “wearing” the Five-fold Scapular or at least the wonderful Brown
Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel which has with it the promise of eternal
life. We urge you to never live a minute without it properly worn over
the shoulders (not in the pocket).
Lent
Holy Mother Church is wise in giving us the liturgical year. It leads us to contemplate God’s work on earth from creation to this very time. One of the first things the Vatican II bogus Church did was to destroy Lent. For the most part, all the fast and abstinence laws were removed in the Vatican II church.We presume that you have Our Catholic calendar, or one with all the Church laws of fast and abstinence on it. From the twenty-first birthday until the fifty-ninth birthday, Catholics, (not impeded or dispensed for a good reason), must fast on the days appointed.
Fasting means that one may take but one full meal during the day, and two smaller meals added up being no more than the full meal. An example would be the main meal being ½ pound. Then the other two meals can each be ¼ pound of food. Fast days also require that meat may only be taken at the main meal, not at another meal. When a fish appears that means that no meat may be eaten at all. If there is a half-fish it means that meat may be had only at the main meal. It also means that those who are not bound to fast must abstain from meat except at one of his meals: applying also outside of Lent.
Holy Mother Church also demands that during the Lenten season we have
many acts of penance. Penance is divided into three parts:
prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Catholics are to avoid gala celebrations
and sports. They are urged give up many forms of legitimate recreation,
especially those that cost money.
A Word About Holiness
Holiness is sanctifying grace in the soul. Holiness is comprised of two things: we are more or less holy in accordance to the amount of (1) sanctifying grace and (2) merit that we possess. God created our souls so that they can receive Him, and nothing else can fill the vacuum that He built into our souls. By sanctifying grace we become supernatural children of God, so We can enjoy what God enjoys, namely, the Beatific Vision of God in Himself. That is done by us as creatures elevated to the divine. given March 10, 2000
