Step By Step to Pope Pius XIII

If a Catholic still feels that such a condemnation has not been made, very formally by the Church to date, We must inform him that he is very much mistaken.  The Holy Roman Catholic Church firmly condemned the Novus Ordo as not being the Catholic Church well before Our election to the papacy.  If that had not been done there could have been no valid election for the Pope.

Besides judging the Novus Ordo Church to be a Protestant Church, the Catholic Church had to deal with all the phony papal elections, before the Catholics could proceed.  It was judged, from all that could be learned, that none of those attempted “elections” succeeded in electing the true Pope.  Hence, the chair of Peter was truly vacant.

Furthermore, it was known that every single Cardinal living, when Pope Pius XII died, had also passed away. Hence, Cardinal electors no longer existed on the face of the earth.

With Mr. Ken Mock’s able leadership, the election process went on for years.  Things looked good for an election with Us and Father Herman Adam as the two priests who would be side by side as clerics for the election, although others could also have been candidates.  The Catholics with Us in Our circuits and at home in Wisconsin just slept through the election preparations on the internet.  All at once a new problem surfaced.

Father Herman Adam became a serious problem.  It was discovered that Fr. Adam was working for the Novus Ordo Bishop of Trier in Germany and Fr. Adam proudly stated that he was “incardinated” in this Novus Ordo diocese.  When that became known, the true Catholics in the election process became dismayed over the treachery, and they dismissed Father Adam and Ken Mock, who kept him on, while knowing he was a Novus Ordo priest.  If Father Adam had been elected Pope, the world would have had a new entity, a “Pope” who already had his own Pope, i.e., “Pope” John Paul II.

Once that foreign element, namely, Mr. Mock and Fr. Adams, was removed from the pre-conclave activities, the Catholic directors of the election called for movement on the election process.  Then the Devil went to work. For while Ken Mock and Father Adam were in the election process, the Devil had no fears of a successful election.  But with the prospect of a valid pope being elected, the Devil unleashed all the powers of hell in an attempt to stop the election.

What happened under the influence of the Devil?  There was a large schism.  Why did they leave? They opposed the election then in     process. We learn from the Apocalypse, 13, 7: “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.”  If per chance all the faithful had remained, there could have been an electoral element that could have brought doubt upon the election, namely, a group of families united as a clique. This group could have controlled the outcome of the election, and possibly could have given the papacy to a non-Catholic. This, of course, would have been yet another false pope. The departure of these schismatics was actually a blessing in disguise, as it left behind a group of Catholics who were united not by blood but by faith.

It was because the election was made by true Catholics of faith (not blood friendship/unity) that We became Pope.

By way of recapitulating, it is certain that the Novus Ordo Church was declared a non-Catholic sect before the papal election that elected Us Pope.  If that had not been done, if the Novus Ordo were the true Catholic Church at the time of the papal election, We would not have become the Pope.

Once again, some individuals have asked Us to condemn the now existing Novus Ordo Church.  Why go through the process of again condemning the Novus Ordo?  It was condemned by the Church years ago. Our letters and encyclicals have over the years brought this fact to your attention.  In Our encyclical, “Ecclesia Catholica,” we have excommunicated the 4 false popes of Vatican II, and have reiterated the essence of the Catholic Church.

The Novus Ordo was made at bogus Council Vatican II (1962-1965) as published in SIXTEEN DOCUMENTS. It made seven new sacraments in two volumes entitled THE RITES.  In 1983, it produced a new CANON LAW. Finally, in 1994 it published the Novus Ordo CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.  All these four programs prove beyond doubt that the Novus Ordo Church is not the same Church that existed at the time that Pope Pius XII died in 1958, and it is not the same as the Church as now exists under Us.   We follow not only in name but also in deed the teachings of Pope Pius XII and all the true Popes of history. We have very specific documents on the invalidity of the Novus Ordo Mass (even when said by a validly ordained priest), on the Novus Ordo baptism being invalid, on the Novus Ordo Holy Orders being invalid for the same reason that Anglican Orders are invalid.   Pope Leo XIII defined this fact in his Encyclical ”Apostolicae Curae.”  We have a specific document dealing with the validity of marriages during the vacancy of certain jurisdiction 1958 to 1998 and after that time, namely now.  Study Our works placed before the world on Our website, http://www.truecatholic.us/.

Come all (by divine command) to the “harbor of truth and unity of faith.”  It is a dogma of the Catholic faith (not recognized in the Novus Ordo, of course) that: “Outside the Church there is no salvation (no going to heaven).”

By Their Fruits You Shall Know Them

If one cooperates with the Holy Ghost in the ways of salvation he will perform the good works known as The Fruits of the Holy Ghost.  Catholic prayer books and catechisms enumerate them: Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Longaminity, Goodness, Benignity, Mildness, Faith, Modesty, Continency, Chastity.  Spiritual writers tell us that anything that one does under the influence of actual grace, which is done with buoyancy and good cheer is a fruit of the Holy Ghost.

We knew a man who suffered very much, and yet he was always happy.  He told Us that he could not understand the youth of today.  He said that he always enjoyed his work, and he felt no need to run after diversions as the youth of today do.  His “enjoying his work,” could be called fruits of the Holy Ghost.  He has passed away, and We are inclined to believe that he is “enjoying his work” in heaven. Now that the faith is scarce and weak even in those who have it, we see a perpetual running after what could be called “Fruits of the Holy Ghost,” but they do not know it.  One sees slogans in schools, “say no to drugs.”  When pregnancies and syphilis run rampant one hears the call “say no to sex.”   If they only knew that the Catholic Church has the answers to their problems, they could have the just euphoria of the gifts of the Holy Ghost in this life and continue in that joy forever in heaven.  On the contrary, if they try to make things work in this life without God, they divide their time between drudgery in work and euphoria in recreation (sinful or neutral) with a termination likely in hell.

Catholics should examine their consciences as to the presence or absence of the fruits of the Holy Ghost in their lives.  Do you rise with joy in the morning?  Do you pray your morning prayers with a holy buoyancy?  Do you perform your daily duties with joy? For where there is charity there is no degrading misery or drudgery.

You should understand that a fruit is the result of your own work, and thus it is useless to pray for such, as if the Holy Ghost will give them to you as some kind present (gift).  A fruit is performed under the influence of grace, and how it is performed will determine if it is a fruit of the Holy Ghost.

Are You a Professional Spiritual  Photographer or An Amateur in the Trade of Eternal Salvation?

We remember the cartoon where a lady buying a camera told the clerk that she did not want a difficult camera, but she just wanted one that clicks.  Contrast this with a professional photographer who gets wonderful pictures because he knows exactly what he is doing.  He knows the values of film speed in purchasing his film.  He knows lens openings, shutter speeds, light values and so forth.  Professionals demand that camera companies do not make their cameras to work automatically.  They know what goes into a fine picture, and no automatic system can produce what they want.  A novice photographer wants a simple camera that just clicks.

We shall carry this parable into the spiritual life.  A simple soul lives a simple spiritual life in a hit and miss fashion.  He does not know how the spiritual life works, and likely he does not care.  It is possible to get to heaven in such simplicity, but it is probable that such a person will not rise to high sanctity.

The person who is professional in his spiritual life knows what graces there are, and what they do.  He knows how his soul works, in the natural way and in the supernatural way.

Let us look into the soul of man.  Man has in his soul (working with the body) an intellect and free will.  That equipment is like a computer.  The computer is useless unless it has programs that perform on command.  Generally, the programs are known as software.  The computer has a memory bank, but that does not perform the functions of writing a letter or communicating by email.

In the human soul the intellect and free will (in the non-elevated state) are similar to the naked computer.  We now come to added “functions” given to the intellect and free will.  These functions are given together with sanctifying grace at baptism, and they remain as long as sanctifying grace remains (lost only by mortal sin).   The software, so to say, in the soul, numbers seven in all.  They are the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, and the moral virtues of prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude.  The theological virtues deal with man’s relation to God – knowing Him, hoping in Him and loving Him.  The moral virtues help man observe the moral order, in order to stay out of mortal sin and persevere in doing good.

To make all the virtues work better there are seven gifts of the Holy Ghost, namely: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

Ask the Holy Ghost to bolster your virtue of prudence with the gifts of wisdom and counsel, thus judging rightly on what must be done before God and man.  Also, ask the Holy Ghost to bolster your virtue of fortitude with His gift of fortitude, in order to stand fast in the entire moral order.

In these days of negligible faith you no longer have priests in parishes around the world, but We can suggest help for those who want to learn how to progress in sanctity.  There is a classical book in the spiritual life called:  “The Spiritual Life, a treatise on ascetical and mystical theology,” by Adolphe Taquerey, S.S., D.D imprimatur 1930. It has 750 pages, @ $32.50 plus p/h $5.00.  Purchase from TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., P.O. Box 424, Rockford, IL 61105 (800) 437-5876.  Thank God that this book is back in print, after being out of print for many years. Deo gratias.

There is another book on the spiritual life that We just finished reading, for Our own spiritual perfection.  The title is: “Guidance in Spiritual Direction,” by Charles Hugo Doyle, 298 pages. The imprimatur is dated l956.  The publisher that brought this treasure to print is: Roger A. McCaffrey Publishing, P.O. Box 1209, Ridgefield, CT 06877, @ $25.95 plus p/h $2.95. Order the book from ROMAN CATHOLIC BOOKS, P.O. Box 2286, Fort Collins, CO 80522.  The purpose of the author of this book was to encourage priests to do their duty of giving spiritual direction, for God ordained that men are to be directed (as spiritual directors) by other men (priests only) who are guided by God.  When these men are generally unavailable, as is the case today, the next best thing is that those desirous of becoming Saints can study this book and find nearly all the advice they need.  This book plus prayer can lead one to great strides along the path to advanced sanctity.

Both the above authors, Adolphe Tanquerey (1854-1932) and Charles Hugo Doyle, do a marvelous service in explaining the process of saving one’s soul and above all how to become a Saint of the highest order. That these two books have been reproduced for those of good will in these our times, is seen by Us, as a special act of divine providence. 
 

There is something very touching in Sixth Station of the Cross, where Veronica presents her veil to Jesus to wipe His sacred face. Jesus’ face was very much disfigured by Blood, spittle and bruises. Our Lord receives her veil, wipes His face on it, and returns it to Veronica with His disfigured face imprinted upon it.  That veil with the imprint of Christ’s face upon it has been a sacred object of adoration throughout the ages.

In order to bring the devotion to the Holy Face of Christ to the faithful, more forcibly, Our Lord chose a devout Sister, Sister Mary of St. Peter, a Carmelite Nun in France, to propagate this devotion to His Holy Face, as seen imprinted on the veil of Veronica. Once again, in the order of divine providence, there is a book available to learn of this devotion and how to practice it to your own greater advancement in holiness, plus having success in your undertakings.  This book is: “The Golden Arrow, the revelations of Sr. Mary of St. Peter.”  It is the autobiography and revelations of Sister Mary of St. Peter (1816-1848) on devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. The imprimatur is 1954.  Order this book from TAN Books and Publishers as given above, @ $12.50 plus p/h $3.00.

Knowing that all the readers of this newsletter will not be purchasing this book, We shall give you the prayer found in the opening of this book:

The “Golden Arrow” Prayer

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this “Golden Arrow” as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.

Each chapter in the book unfolds more and more revelations which were given by Our Lord to Sister Mary of St. Peter.  It is Our hope that the zealous of heart (who can afford it) will purchase this book and add their work also to the spreading this devotion.

The book gives a detailed account of how the devotion spread, and how it almost failed.  Her superiors in the Carmelite Order forbad Sister Mary of St. Peter to even think of her divine calling, believing that she was deceived.  On top of that she had an interview with the Archbishop of her diocese, and he was opposed to the devotion, not believing that it was from heaven.

With the devotion unable to proceed Sister Mary of St. Peter died at the early age of thirty-two.  Thereafter a wealthy and devoted man, Leon Dupont of Tours, set up a private chapel in his home with the image of the Holy Face prominently exposed for adoration.   Before it he always kept a vigil lamp burning, and the oil had curative powers.  People from far and wide came to visit his home in order to pray before the sacred picture.  Many miracles were wrought through praying before that Holy Picture.  After the death of Leon Dupont his home was turned into a chapel, dedicated to this devotion, honoring the Holy Face of Christ.

Finally, the matter was brought to the attention of Pope Leo XIII who gave to it his wholehearted endorsement.  He gave his formal approval through the formality of a Papal Brief.

The devotion flourished until shortly before the First World War, and since that time it has floundered.  It is Our wish that even Our few Catholics will take it upon themselves to revive this devotion in their private lives.  When more formalities can be had, We intend to set up a center for the devotion where members can register, thus making it a Pious Association. We place this in the hands of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Who continually makes reparation for mankind before His Father in heaven.
