A Catholic Priest for the "Order of the Virgin"

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. John the Apostle 

Fr. John of the Holy Eucharist, C.D., to the right of H.E. Bishop Tomas de Aquino, O.S.B.


"As the Father has sent Me, I also send you" (Jn. 20.21). "The Son of God appeared that He might destroy the works of the devil" (I Jn. 3.8). "For this I was born, and for this I came into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth, hears My voice" (Jn. 18.37).

Jesus Christ "yesterday, and today; and the same for ever" (Hebrews 13.8). Why the "fabricated" character and position of a Lutheran "presider" in Protestant costume according to the "New Rite of Ordinations" which a "disoriented" Pope Paul VI introduced with his "New Rite of [Worship]" ("Institutio Generalis," April 1969) must be refused and denied recognition as 'legitimate' priests [Neo-SSPX position] - "MANY will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in Thy Name, and cast out devils [at the Confessional and by exorcism] in Thy Name, and done many miracles [by valid Consecration of the bread and wine] in Thy Name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity" (Mt. 7.22-23).

"Trickster" from hell

+
J.M.J.

Octave Day of the Feast of St. John of the Cross - co-reformer with St. Teresa of Jesus of the Carmelite Order, Confessor and Doctor of the Church

'Pontifex' on hell: "Not a torture chamber" (Homily, 25th November 2016, ZenithNews Rome). Wallow as you please then even unto the basest mires of sin.

Condemns himself: "He is a liar and what’s more is the father of lies, he generates lies and is a trickster. He sells it* to you like this and you buy it and in the end he tricks you, deceives you and ruins your life." * the "NEW THEO..." - "Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II-Catholicism" @ the very heart of their need for a "New" 'Mass': a "New" worship.

“‘But father, what can we do to avoid being deceived by the devil?’ ...Never converse with the devil. One does not converse with him... chase.. him away... not dialogue with him,” says the 'trickster' in Papal trappings.

'Pontifex' to youth who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass: "Rigid."

+
J.M.J.

Dedication of the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul


Feast of All the Carmelite Saints: Their examples and merits - in meditation of the yoke of God's law and in living for God alone by perfect self-immolation on the altar of divine charity (from the "Collect" of the Traditional Liturgy).

Traditional Papal Mass
God decreed that His "CEREMONIES" be kept yet the "New" 'Catholic' versions even strike out God's "ceremonies." "Thou hast chosen the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways and keep his ceremonies, and precepts, and judgments, and obey his command.... Therefore love the Lord thy God and observe His precepts and ceremonies, His judgments and commandments at all times... That it may be well with thee... In the land which I will give them for a possession" (Deut. XXVI.17; XI.1; X.13; V.31). The worship of the true Catholic God must be clearly distinguished from the worship of the devil who demands also high altars, incense, and sacrificial offerings. Yet, the ceremonies of Old were but a faint type of our Traditional Latin Liturgy : "Look and make it according to the pattern, that was shewn thee in the mount" (Ex. 25.40) - ours is the pattern of Old. 'Rigidity' as the idiot ogre in papal trappings at the ecumenically "disoriented" Vatican scorns this?

"But if thou wilt not hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep and to do all His commandments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day, all... curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee" (Deut. XXVIII.15). Most certainly, the perverted Antipope will fall as "rigid" as a corpse in fright before that fire and brimstone God will pour upon him but that same kind of chastisement will have blotted him out from the face of the earth before that he stink as rotten pig.

"My people have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water" (Jer. II.13). This is that historical point, since the introduction of the "NEW" Rite of 'Sacraments' (the "cisterns") and 'Blessings' in 1969 by Paul VI, when this figure of the institutional 'official' Church - the mainstream - is fulfilled. Their invented 'Rite' to serve their "no Catholic God" (the 'dynamic' Antipope) holds "NO [grace]." Ours is a ministry that is 'illicit' or 'illegitimate' (not conferring grace because displeasing to God), so they say? The written Word so belies them again. If by their inventions they have forsaken the Very Source of Living Water, see how the pseudo-Pope is lying on this life/death matter in his grand 'DYNAMIC' pretension of what the New 'liturgy' oozing with the 'spirit' of Vatican II could offer. No, we in Catholic Resistance, in our adherence at the least to the same traditional yet always ever new cisterns and channels of divine life of grace, are not the ones suffering 'rigidity' unto eternal death. It is to a church - not to the few remnant - is this Apocalyptic rebuke addressed: "You have the name of being alive and thou art dead!" (III.1).

"Not in common communion..." - St. Augustine

+
J.M.T.

The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field....
(Mt. XIII.24-30)

... But while men are asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat... (v.26), that is, "when the shepherds of the Church grow careless... the devil comes and sows them whom Our Lord calls the seed of evil-doers" (St. Augustine). See the intervention of the Immaculata against the red (Apoc. XII.2) infiltrators of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. II.9; III.9) which, in its attempt to check Christianity, has, since the time of the Apostles, been exposed to be responsible for certain men... secretly entered in... ungodly men, turning the grace of Our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only Sovereign Ruler, and Our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 4) - "The Year 1929"; see also the earlier "blueprint" by the Synagogue for the subversion of the institutional Church from within through the 1789 agents of Freemasonry: "A perilous Catholic voyage".

On a parenthetical note, ungodly men, turning the mercy of Our Lord God into riotousness - thus has pseudo-Pope Bergogreglio, the prince of the precursors of the Antichrist, made explicitly plain the perverted basis of Neo-Catholic ecumenical "disorientation" in its clamor for "diabolical" harlotry : union with heretics, schismatics, the "Synagogue of Satan," the Mohammedans, and the pagans; he declared to the assembly in Sweden of Lutheran justification for libidinous riotousness that the "NEW 'Catholic THEO...'" accepts and does not reject them as they are, overlooking the very errors of their convenient 'Christianity' - see our previous post "Sanctity in the Truth".

"Now," continues St. Augustine, "are these seed of evil-doers the heretics, or Catholics of bad lives?" "It is possible," he answers, "to call even the heretics a seed of evil-doers because they have sprung up from the seed of the Gospel, and been begotten in the Name of Christ, though afterwards they have turned after crooked ways and lying doctrines...." Heretics do not stand in the Truth inasmuch as He Who Is the Truth teaches us that the father of lies has no part in Him - no admixture of truth and error, therefore, St. Augustine would refuse and refute, in the succeeding continuation of his sermon, the diabolically disoriented 'official' hierarchs in their ecumenical harlotry on their delusional "New disOrder" of 'partial communion' and 'full communion'  for Our Lord is categorical in His condemnation of these apostates and their heretical buddies: cut off from Me (cf., Jn. XV.6), why a "NEW THEO....", a "New Jesus" (see, "Arch-heretic Luther honored in Rome"); and so is St. Paul, the light to the pagans sitting in darkness: what fellowship has light with darkness, what concord has Christ with Belial, what part has the faithful with the unbeliever (II Cor. VI.14-15)? And a man who is heretic, after first and second monitionsavoid (Titus III.10) - more so after condemnatory sentence by the Church's teaching office.

"Forasmuch as the Lord saith, The field is the world, (and not, the Church,) we may well understand that the seed of evil doers are the heretics, since in this world they are mingled together with the good, not in one common Communion [absolute sense as is demonstrated in the preceding: professing the SAME Faith held always and everywhere according to the SAME TRADITIONAL SENSE, unity of SAME Sacramental life according to the traditional Rite, and unity under the SAME traditional SUBJECTION in true obedience to the Sovereign PONTIFEX MAXIMUS crowned with the tiara], but only under one common name of Christian. But they which are of one faith with the good seed, and yet are themselves worthless, may more fitly be likened to straw than to tares, since the straw springeth from one soil and one root with the good ear.

However, as touching the net cast into the sea, and enclosing a great multitude of fishes, both bad and good, we may well understand that by the bad are meant Catholics of bad lives. For the sea is one thing whereby we may understand to be signified the world; and the net another, which seemeth to signify our Faith, or the Communion of one Church. Between heretics and sinful Catholics there is this difference, that heretics believe a lie, and sinful Catholics believe the truth, but live not as they believe [seeking a convenient 'Catholicism']."

You say you believe the Truth? We charge you, brethren, in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ that you withdraw yourselves [in Catholic Resistance] from them who walk disorderly, and not according to the Tradition which they have received of us (II Thess. III.6)

Sanctity is in the Truth

J.M.J. 

Feast of All the Saints 



"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent bears it away" (Mt. XI.12). In order to be saved, one must embrace and profess the Catholic Faith wholly in all its integrity - thus the Athanasian Creed declares. Our Lord requires in the passage quoted above that this be heroically: only Saints enter heaven.

But if one misses the foundation of authentic sanctity - the Truth - everything is lost... 

The perverted head of the "New 'Catholic' disOrder," in his 'apostolic journey' to Sweden in celebration of the anniversary of Luther's 'Bible-only' revolution reiterates the fundamental principle of the "diabolical disorientation" which the Immaculata pointed out to be pervading the 'official' hierarchy in apostasy (the Apocalyptic woman in ecumenical harlotry: Ch. XVII) - the "NEW 'Catholic' THEO...." ("Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II-Catholicism"). Bergogreglio proclaims: "For us.... it is a priority to go out... and to make felt the tender and merciful love of God, who rejects no one and accepts everyone [except the "Catholic Resistance"!]" (Zenith News). This is the key to the "New One-World-Religion" of the precursors of the Antichrist - 'Alright, let us respect each other's views [the true Religion degraded to the level of one's own OPINION], don't directly contravene dogma; yet, don't give a damn to dogma, stop being dogmatic.' And Bergogreglio, their very prince: "... Moving beyond the [dogmatic] controversies and disagreements that have... prevented us from understanding one another." 

Lesson Bergogrelio rams down the throat of Neo-Catholics ('Catholics' who walk 'in sync' with the currents of the "New World disOrder"): Luther "helped give greater centrality to the Bible in the Church's life" - the Church, "the pillar and ground of the truth" (I Tim. III.15), had been 'somewhat off on the Word'! He justifies "the concept 'by grace ALONE'" of his equally perverted Augustinian buddy by coating it with the Catholic distinction of antecedence, forgetting that Sacred Writ belies the arch-heretic, by his own self-demolishing un-Scriptural standard, with no mention of the very term "alone" - travesty of authentic Catholic Theology grounded on the Eternal Word written AND unwritten (II Thess. II.14).

St. Francis of Assisi: "At the time of this Tribulation, a man, not canonically elected [cf., our post on the "Declaratio" of 'resignation' of Pope Benedict XVI] will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error ["because they received not the love for the truth that they might be saved," II Thess. II.10] ... for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer."

"As My Father has loved Me I also have loved you" (Jn. XV.9), said I to My beloved disciples whom certainly I did not send to temporal joys [and in secure, 'comfy' and convenient 'official'  institutions], but to great conflicts... to contempt [and exiles]..." ("Imitation of Christ," Bk. III, Ch. XXX, 6).

Arch-heretic Luther honored in Rome

J.M.J. 

Feast of "La Madre" Teresa de Jesus - the Great Reformer 
of the Carmelite Order


"I would stand up alone against all Lutherans [with these 'official' hierarchs of Vatican II 'ecumenical' "disorientation"] in order to make them understand their error" (St. Teresa, Spiritual Testimonies, III,8).

"Christians, daughter, must now more than ever do the opposite of what they do" (Our Lord to St. Teresa on the Lutherans, Spiritual Testimonies, XXVI,1). "I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit" (Ps. XXV.5).

The arch-heretic honored in Rome
"It is not my Jesus vs. your Jesus, but our Jesus," so does pseudo-Pope Bergogrelio unabashedly lay down, in his address to the German Lutherans 13 October in Rome, the doctrinal ground for union of the 'official' mainstream 'Church' with those who believe in 'Jesus' of their own delusional fashion. Catholic Jesus: "...HEAR the Church...;" Protestant 'Jesus': READ the 'Bible' (that is, the KJV). Catholic Jesus: "...the Church, pillar and ground of the truth;" Protestant 'Jesus': it is the 'Bible'. Catholic Jesus: "The Bread that I will give IS My Flesh for the life of the world... He who eats My Flesh hath life everlasting;" Protestant 'Jesus': Ridiculous! Vatican II-led apostasy - attempt at synthesis or reconciliation of radically irreconcilables why a "NEW 'Catholic THEOlogy": the ultimate delusion of Vatican II Neo-Catholicism

99th Anniversary of the Apocalyptic apparition of "the Great Sign in heaven" (XII.1) - Our Lady of Fatima.

God confounds the diabolical secret sect of Freemasonry; the Immaculata showed Herself lastly as the Blessed Virgin of Carmel - see more @ "The Great Sign in heaven"

The 'loyalists' of the "New Catholic disOrder" of Vatican II 'ecumenical' "disorientation" do not want Her Message - the Second Part of its Secret She ends with reference to the apostasy of Rome: "In Portugal [NOT in Rome!], the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved, etc." - and falsify its critical importance for this our end-times period; see more @ "Our Lady at Fatima - not a mere 'private' apparition"

"Diabolical disorientation" : Vatican II religious harlotry ('ecumenism')

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Francis of Assisi 

Our Lord revealed to this 'seraphic' Saint of Assisi that He would restore the Church on him - why the Church, in the lessons of her Divine Office today, inculcates with this great Saint: "Blessed is the... man who is found without blemish: who hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures" (Ecclus. 31.8-9).

Since the 'hijacked' Vatican II Council, Assisi therefore has to be the center of the subversion of that restoration by the ecumenical "disorientation" of Rome itself - that the Catholic Religion is only one among the false religions (logical conclusion: the Catholic Religion is therefore also false) authored by one and the same [g]od (logical conclusion: there is no God for if He claims to be "the Truth" He could not author conflicting and contradicting creeds); indeed, there is "no Catholic God" (the pseudo-Pope Bergoglio). It was in Assisi that the 'official' hierarchs proclaimed their apostasy pointed out by the Immaculata at Fatima, Portugal: "diabolical disorientation even among those who occupy responsible positions" - they have overthrown the Catholic Religion from its very foundation: "In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti," the Triune God, that they could stand in league with the "Synagogue of Satan" (Apoc. 2.9; 3.9) and pagans whose "gods are the devils" (Ps. 95.5 - the Sacred Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome, "the greatest Doctor of the Church;" the "New 'Catholic'" versions obviously have to depart from this reading that the 'Word' stand not in contradiction to their ecumenical disorientation).

Traditionally, to those adult converts who come to the Baptismal font that they live in league with Christ Crucified the Church exhorts them:

1) against paganism - "HORRESCE idola, respue simulacra..." ("ABHOR idols and reject their images.")
2) against Talmudic Jewry of the "Synagogue of Satan" - "HORRESCE Judaicam perfidiam, respue Hebraicam superstitionem" ("ABHOR Jewish perfidy, renounce the Hebrew superstition.")
3) against Mohammedanism or Islam - "HORRESCE Mahumeticam perfidiam, respue pravam sectam infidelitatis" ("ABHOR Mohammedan perfidy, renounce THIS EVIL and FAITHLESS sect").
4) against 'Bible-only' Protestantism - "HORRESCE haeriticam pravitatem, respue nefarias sectas impiorum N." ("ABHOR the evil of heresy, renounce the infamous sect of ..."). 

No, the Church has not changed; it appears only to have been eclipsed by the "New 'Catholic' disOrder" of Vatican II (see St. Augustine @ "The Great Tribulation") - the "pseudo-Church" of infiltrated revolutionaries (see "The Year 1929") possessing and instrumentalizing our institutions : the Apocalyptic great harlot "in purple and scarlet" (17.4). "Woe is me, wherefore was I born to see the ruin of my people, and the ruin of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it is given into the hands of the enemies? The holy places are come into the hands of strangers" (1 Mach. 2.7-8).

"What fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the Catholic faithful with the unbeliever?" (2 Cor. 6.14-15)

In the footsteps of "Little Therese"

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus


Our "Little Therese" - as she would have us call her - is held very dear even today because she, in imitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mt. Carmel, is very pleasing to God: God's great pleasure is shining on her and radiating brightly in her who had not refused her Little Jesus anything and gave Him the little she was only capable of and that very generously, without reserve and murmur. This is the crown of that her promised "good" work of spending heaven with the shower of graces she will let fall from the hands of her Immaculate Mother of Carmel - souls who would love God as she has loved Him and made Him much loved.

A blessed Feast to everyone!

'Born again' Catholic

J.M.J.

Feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus




"Unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (from today's Holy Gospel). That is, "not in sense," explains St. Paul (1 Cor. 14.20), as in retardation to childishness; "but in malice be children, and in sense perfect."

Child-like innocence - Christian renunciation of the spirit (the mindset or mentality) of this "New World disOrder" (the "Novus Ordo") as expressed by strange and unruly even to outrageous hairstyles, vulgar and immodest fads in language, behavior and get-up, and the 'rights', preoccupations, hopes and dreams of the citizens of this one-world city which is opposed to the all-encompassing dominion of Christ the King in subjection to the Roman "Pontifex" (but a crowned Sovereign Pontiff - symbolic also of the following second description by the Apostle St. Paul). This form of Christian innocence after the original innocence we have lost is obtained by striving then against the current of perdition sweeping the "New" city of Babylon and the greater part of the 'official' institutional Church (the "New" 'Catholic' City inaugurated at Vatican II) - both in which there is no love of a demandingly absolute Truth: "be not conformed to this world" (Rom. 12.2); this is the true shot at 'trying hard to be holy,' but sanctity is first and foremost God's work: 1) He alone could purify us of everything that is not Him down to their very roots why 2) we need His light in prayer that we resist not His 'operation' on us as we embrace the traditional Catholic discipline of the Spiritual Life, and His almighty aid which flows through our traditional Sacraments.

"In sense perfect." That is, a spiritual man who has "the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2.16) - an intimate of God and of the "deep things of God" (v.10); an intimate of the "deep things of God" - he is not deceived, though, by those who appear to be speaking very 'inspiring' things about God even if they be presented as clad in Papal and other ecclesiastical trappings for the true man of God stands SOLIDLY - not limping or halting, as with the 'official' hierarchs since Vatican II - on God's Word and doctrine: one who stands not in contradiction to the Apostolic "paradoseis" ("Tradition," 2 Thess. 3.16) for there is no change in the mind and judgments of God (God can never contradict Himself).

God's Messengers

+
J.M.J

Feast of the Guardian Angels



Contrary to the current 'devotion' Neo-Catholicism has fostered since Vatican II, God did not assign to each soul a celestial patron and protector for a temporal life Oh so secure that should keep unmolested whatever part of Oh so 'happy' life a neo-pagan-partly-Catholic citizen of the "New World [dis]Order" would 'feel blessed' about. Our guardian angels are assigned to us in view of our entanglement with the proud spirit "who stood not in the truth" (Jn. 8.44). "God made man right, and hath entangled himself with an infinity of questions" (Ecclus. 7.30), that is, "God made man right," explains St. Alphonsus, "in the state of justice [in original subjection to God]; but, by giving ear to [the subtle decepton of the ancient infernal liar], man exposed himself to temptation, and was conquered (Sermon for today, XXth after Pentecost). Let us take very careful note of how the devil has conquered us - from the beginning, he conspired with our senses and played with our passions: subversion from within is his favorite game (as is also against the Church especially through Vatican II 'hijacked' by 'ecclesiastics' infected or perverted by the 'Modernist liberalism' of the revolutionary 'Rights of Man' and diffusing their "diabolical disorientation" in 'official' modernized 'Seminaries, 'Pontifical' Universities and 'Catholic' schools, and of course in their "New" Rite of 'Mass' and other 'Sacraments').

God sends us His messengers to communicate His design for us - the right order of things for us. But we miss this - and how dreadful it is! "He was at the point of death" (from today's Holy Gospel, XXth after Pentecost) - when any passion unregulated by the dictates of reason and prudence enlightened by Faith, takes possession of the heart for this unruly appetite obscures the truth, and makes the soul incapable of distinguishing between good and evil. Souls under the sway of God know what true devotion to Him consists in by the inspiration of their guardian angels: "Give me not over to a shameless and foolish mind" (Ecclus. 23.6) lest I abandon Thy way.

"Deus Sabaoth"

+
J.M.J.

Our Lady of Ransom



The Catholic Church rejoices in today's Liturgy (Our Lady of Ransom) as Our Blessed Mother, always watchful over us, rises to free Her Christian children "from pagan power" ('Collect' of the Liturgy) - through sane pastors of the Church and Catholic statesmen. And she prays that through the intercession of the Immaculata, we may also "be freed from our sins and captivity to the devil" - there is the Divine Mind Which shines brightly in Our Lady and Which She sheds on Her devout children in the truth: to fall into pagan power is to be held captive also by the devil - a terrible chastisement from God for the sin of apostasy.

Pseudo-Pope Bergoglio, heavily drunk with "diabolical disorientation" (Our Lady to Sr. Lucia, C.D.) abandons nations - which have abandoned the true Christian Faith insisting on the all-encompassing dominion of Christ the King - to diabolical captivity: his "no Catholic God" would never intervene against pagan power sweeping them under the cloak of 'humanitarian' and 'ecumenical' solidarity - "No to God of war!" Sacred Writ, however, belies him in that the true God is the same "Deus Sabaoth" (the terrible God of hosts) of OT.

The School of God's Heart

+
J.M.J.

Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary



In today's Holy Mass, we hear the Church supplicating that we celebrate this Feast of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary "with devout minds" in order that we may "live according to [God's] Heart." For to live is to understand - the mind as if delighting in the good it knows in truth - thereby paving a sure road for our heart to thrust itself on the real good with which alone it seeks to take in delightful possession.

"Jesus, MASTER, have mercy on us!" Thus we heard those who are alienated from the Heart of God now appealing to Its tender mercy - the ten lepers yesterday (13th Sunday after Pentecost).   See what the Eternal Word offers them for their cure: "Master!" - they are far from Life for they have corrupted the truth (mixing it with error - the disgusting discoloration on their skin, so explains St. Augustine in the 2nd Nocturn of the Office of Matins) departing from the proven way of life-giving discipline: they wanted themselves to be their own master.

Therefore on the Cross - the throne of God's absolute dominion over us - there we hear: "Son, behold thy Mother;" behold the school of My Heart - the Immaculate Heart of My Mother out of which came THE good a creature could render his Lord and Master: "behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word."

Feast of the Solemnity of the Glorious Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Body and Soul, into Heaven



This day is this prophecy fulfilled: "Arise, O Lord, into Thy resting place: Thou AND THE ARK which Thou hast sanctified" (Ps. 131.8).

"Thou hast prevented our ruin in the presence of God" (Judith 13.15, from today's Lesson). The Blessed Virgin Mary, "full of grace" (Lk. 1.28) when the rest of mankind lost it, has finally occupied the throne once occupied by Lucifer - why the great hatred of the devil against the Immaculata. And She is given us as our bright Moon to radiate upon us the rays of Her Divine Son in the hour of our darkness. How She would prevent our ruin but we would rather go on our own way and so get involved...

"Deaconesses' - Antipope Bergogrelio opposes God's hierarchy

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Lawrence - Deacon and Martyr

'Deaconesses' in the Catholic Church?

The ministerial hierarchy in the Old Testament was but a shadow of its reality - the New Testament ecclesiastical hierarchy in which "the Holy Ghost hath placed... bishops (Gk: episcopoi) to rule the Church" (Ac. 20.28). A woman - Miriam, the sister of Moises - dared to stick out her proud head that women should occupy also a responsible post in the divine ministry and she was cursed.

Even at the Apostolic age, no woman was extolled as an ordained minister like the Deacon St. Stephen by mention especially in the Acts of the Apostles. The Spirit of Truth teaching through St. Paul: "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence... Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church" (1 Tim. 2.12,11; 1 Cor. 14.35) - a Deacon has authority to preach: therefore, there can never be a 'Deaconess' in the mind of God, there may be a 'deaconess' but in the butt-head of Antipope Bergogreglio.

And even in the all-male ministers of Old, not everyone could touch the Ark and the "loaves of proposition" - always placed on a table: why the tabernacle is reserved on the high altar at a traditional Catholic sanctuary. Unconsecrated hands - and of a woman* - can not touch the Sacred: the doctrine and discipline of the Fathers as synthesized by St. Thomas Aquinas. The hands of a Deacon though not yet consecrated may distribute Holy Communion but by authorization of a priest for the latter's aid. *The Sacred Host coming out of the tabernacle to repose on the hands of Sr. Faustina was nothing but the devil's telltale - why the Holy Office twice, under Pope Pius XII and Pope John XXIII, condemned the 'Divine Mercy' thing: not supernatural in origin, that is, not of God.

It is useless to pray for the prince of the accursed precursors of the Antichrist - Antipope Bergoglio; being a 'Jesuit' perverted in the school of the "New" 'Catholic Theology', he knew Catholic Theology through and through all too well down to its foundations but not only did he vomit it out, as is required by that diabolical school, but vomited it out with palatable twists and turns of popular rhetoric for easy peddling among those fascinated by the "New World disOrder" yet need God still though for a false religiosity and devoutedness (FEELING 'blessed' and 'inspired', stopping only at the mere 'sense' of the sacred, by a god nothing essentially different from a pagan deity principally serving as temporal-goods/favors-dealing-patron). "For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, have moreover tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, and are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making Him a mockery" (Heb. 6.4-6).

Our dear "Little Therese," in her "Story of a Soul," related that she desired the priesthood for the honor and glory of God and His Church and the salvation of souls but she would rather readily submit to the infallibly irreversible divine judgment on that matter as Catholic Tradition consistently expresses and maintains it. Only the pseudo-Catholic Church could dare stand in contradiction to it, protesting: "Vatican II 'aggiornamento'" (come on, let's move on with the times!). Settling for the office of a Deacon was for her, logically, altogether out of the question either. The stupid Antipope is fond of her - in the "Novus Ordo" version of her.

The One Necessary Change

+
J.M.J.

Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ - "His Face did shine as the sun: and His garments became white as snow" (from the Holy Gospel, Mt. 17.1-9).

There's only one change, one real growth and progress that matters in this life - our more perfect transformation into and conformity with Christ: "unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ" (Eph. 4.13), "Be ye perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt. 5.48).

How's the seed of divine life (sanctifying grace) implanted in us at Baptism? That's the only thing we can bring with us before God when our time finally ends up sooner or later. And we can only go to our place among the Blessed in heaven when God is pleased to see in us that Life that has borne all the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Ghost in their full flower (the Beatitudes). "GROW* in grace, and in the knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Pet. 3.18). All our efforts are in vain when this is overlooked and neglected.

* There's no instant perfection ('Born-Again' Protestantism). It's highest possible degree attainable here is at the end line of our life - at our last breath. Many are still at the beginning stage of the Christian Life and therefore should be struggling to rise from their sins - especially from their habits of sin, occult or not - and from their imperfections; they are still in the First and Second Mansions of St. Teresa's "Interior Castle". These souls are not the downfall of the Catholic Church. Patience...

Today, being a First Saturday, may the repeated prayers in the Holy Rosary Our Immaculate Mother earnestly recommends to us work to strike repeatedly in effacing from us every resemblance still to that filthy proud infernal spirit who is the devil.

To stand in the truth...

+
J.M.J.

Feast of the Prophet Elias
General and Father of "the Order of the Virgin"




Another "proper" solemnity in the Teresian Carmel (traditional pre-Vatican II "Divino Afflato" calendar) - the others being that of the Bl. Virgin Mary of Mt. Carmel (July 16), of St. Teresa of Jesus (Oct. 15), and of St. John of the Cross (Nov. 24); four "proper" solemnities - another privilege for the Teresian Carmel; "Novus Ordo" OCDs no longer keep this as such.

"The Lord is near to all them who call upon Him: to all who call upon Him in truth" (from the "Gradual" of the Mass, Ps. 144.18). See how the Sacred Writ qualifies the terms of divine friendship; the first condition, for in another place, "you are of your father, the devil... from the beginning... he stood not in the truth" (Jn. 8.44).

Three Carmelite Friars at the other side of the world have fled the "New" 'Catholic' DisOrder - the "pseudo-Church" (Bella Dodd, ex-Sec. Gen. of the Communist Party of America who embraced the Catholic Faith, cf., our post "The Year 1929") built on the false 'Modernist liberal' god of the "New 'Catholic Theology'" poisoning vocations, especially, and countless souls led by false obedience to drink from its very source and expression, that is, the "New" 'liturgy' (the "New Rite" of 'Sacraments', particularly the "New" 'Mass' designed by a Freemason with his Protestant collaborators that has become the "norm" by hierarchical dissimulation) - to join the Catholic Resistance. May we persevere in this battle for the Rights of the true God of our General and Father Elias unto the obliteration of that sacrilegious "table" set up for that "abomination of desolation" (Mt. 24) in its "dress rehearsal" stage.

The Queen of Heaven "set in battle array"

+
J.M.J.


Solemn Commemoration of the 
Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mt. Carmel



A Great Sign appeared in heaven, a Woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under Her feet, and on Her head a crown of twelve stars (Apocalypse 12.1).

This day, the Queen of heaven, comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array (Canticle of Canticles 6.9), hands to us the Church Militant Her Scapular - sign of eternal alliance with the Apocalyptic Woman prophesied of Old to crush [the infernal serpent's] head [sewer of all errors with their hosts of sins]" (Genesis 3.15); sign of protection for THE REST of Her seed (Apoc. 12.17) who wage battle against all the assaults of the ego, the flesh, the "new world/'catholic' disorder", and of the devil and (her) apostate angels, powers, influences and minions, with all their deceptive half-truths, snares, schemes, suggestions and allurements; therefore, sign of predestination and of salvation: sign of consecration to Her, who, crowned with the Truth of Apostolic Tradition, exposes and crushes the "diabolical disorientation" - this chastisement of all seduction of iniquity to them that perish [who] receive not the love of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2.10)...

"It is painful to see such a great disorientation and in so many persons who occupy places of responsibility... the devil has succeeded in infiltrating evil under the cover of good... in leading... priests and... consecrated souls... into error [the "New" 'Catholicism'** with its new 'priesthood' and new worship based on a "NEW" 'Catholic THEOlogy] ... They are blind men guiding other blind men" (Sr. Lucia, C.D.). And no less than Pope Paul VI, who merely "WISH[ed]" ("volumus" in his "Missale Romanum" of April 1969) his "NEW" Rite of WORSHIP (as if there can be a new god* to be worshipped!) - the "New" 'Mass' designed by the Freemason Bugnini - offered, admitted this: "A sentiment of CONFUSION... spreading AMONG THE CHILDREN OF THE CHURCH, even among the best ones, and sometimes ALSO WITH THE MOST QUALIFIED, WHO EXERCISE THE GREATEST AUTHORITY [read: the one sitting on the Chair of St. Peter!]." - See more @ "Our Lady against the diabolical campaign"
---
* The "no Catholic God" (the true God of the Catholic Faith) finally unmasked by Antipope Bergoglio.

** An attempt at synthesis or reconciliation of the Catholic Religion with today's 'Modernist liberalism' of the 1789 'Rights of Man' - the 'Church' "at the service of humanity" [but 'naturally good' : Masonic 'naturalism' - no wound of Original Sin]."

July 16, 1251, the Immaculata to St. Simon Stock: " RECEIVE, MY BELOVED SON, THIS HABIT OF THY OR­DER: THIS SHALL BE TO THEE AND TO ALL CARMELITES A PRIVILEGE, THAT WHOSOEVER DIES CLOTHED IN THIS SHALL NEVER SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE. BEHOLD A SIGN OF PEACE, A SAFEGUARD IN DANGER, A PLEDGE OF MY ETERNAL ALLIANCE." See more @ "Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and Her Scapular

The New 'Mass' in the eyes of God

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Ephrem
Deacon, Confessor and Doctor of the Church



Note from Rev. Friar John, C.D.:

Bp. Williamson : "Traditional Catholics absorb with their mother’s milk that the new rite of Mass (NOM) is an abomination in the eyes of God.... Then how can God work with it eucharistic miracles...?" ("Novus Ordo Missae - II", Eleison Comments, No. 437, 27th November 2015).

"Greater abominations... men having their backs
turned toward... the Lord" (Ezech. 8.16)
That implies that the New Mass - the so-called 'Ordinary Form' by prevarication - is in reality (in the eyes of God) not the "abomination of desolation" in its "dress rehearsal" (the Bishop referring to our age vis-à-vis the 7th and last age of the Church with the appearance of the Antichrist).

In every VALID Mass, there's already a miracle taking place...

The Queen of Heaven 'uncrowned'

J.M.J.

Traditional Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Her great title, "Mediatrix of All Graces" - sacrificed @ Vatican II in the name of 'ecumenism' (another great Vatican II travesty!).



"I am the Mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. My memory is unto everlasting generations" (Ecclesiastcus 24.24-28).

Apostasy - the fundamental Truth of the Catholic Faith overthrown

+
J.M.J.



Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity - "Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" (Mt. 20.28).

The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ reveals thus the true God - the fundamental truth of the Catholic Religion. As such, the Athanasian Creed (Office of Prime in the Roman Breviary for the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity and on Sundays after Pentecost) declares :

"Whosoever wills to be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish eternally.

Now the Catholic Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity. Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance... "

But Antipope Bergoglio, the "presiding" 'Pontifex' of the "New World Order" (the "Novus Ordo") Vatican II-'Church'':  "I believe... not in Catholic God, there's NO CATHOLIC GOD." - See more @ our post "Estote sapientes"

Truth - first in the order of true Charity

+
J.M.J.




The Descent of the Holy Spirit - "That the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has given Me commandments, so do I" (from the Holy Gospel, Jn. 14.23-31).

"Jesus Christ," says St. Alphonsus, "was given to us as Savior and Master." "Hence," continues the great Doctor, "He came on earth principally to teach us, not only by His words, but also by His own example, how we are to love God - our Supreme Good."

This day reveals to us that Powerful Love Divine Which worked in Him and will work in us - the Spirit of Truth: truth is the first in the order of embrace of the Supreme Infinite Good, "I will espouse thee to Me in Faith" (Hos. 2.20). It is the truth which tells us the real good we ought to desire and take delight in by possession; needless to say, it is also the truth that makes us see through the seeming and apparent good in evil to be teared up and discarded - hence the pains of sacrificing in true love: Divine Charity expurging from our hearts its petty 'toys' that fade into obsolescence and decrepitude, petty 'toys' that perish after they have wearied us. Such is the power of the blazing "charity of God poured forth into our hearts" (Rom. 5.5). "Send forth Your Light, that our hearts like Yours burn bright."

To remain Catholic, stay with the 'official Institution'?

J.M.J. 



Feast of St. Athanasius - Greek Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church
known as "the Voice of Orthodoxy" when the hierarchy of the Church turned almost Arian.

Against the schismatic Orientals (the self-styled "Orthodox") who deny the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff over the Universal Church - in one of the numerous instances of forced exile of this venerable Patriarch of Alexandria, he appealed to the authority of Pope Julius who restored him to his episcopal see.

And now, when the hierarchy of the Church turned almost 1789 revolutionary perverts (cf., our post "The Year 1929") - against the same pseudo-ecclesiology (false doctrine on the Church) current in the mainstream 'Novus Ordo' (New World Order) 'Church', as with the mainstream 'SSPX', which equates the Church to her institutions (churches, seminaries, monasteries and convents, schools, charities, etc.): "to remain Catholic is to stay with the 'officials'"...

New Life in Christ

+
J.M.J.




"All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth" (Mt. 28.18).

We must bear in mind, says St. Thomas Aquinas in his "Meditations," that our old life is one consumed in worldly standards and by an age-long experience in sin. But the new life is the heavenly life, renewed from day to day by the grace of God, "be renewed in the spirit of your mind" (Eph. 4.23) so that it stands up to the current of the 'New World disOrder', "be not conformed to this world" (Rom. 12.2). To them who "walk in newness of life" (Rom. 6.4) Christ bequeaths the Easter peace: "Pax vobis" (Jn. 20).

The "Easter Sacrament" (from the "Collect" of today's Mass) is His mighty work in which is transubstantiated the bread into the Flesh of His Heart (as authentic Eucharistic miracles consistently offer) and the wine into His Blood but stops there when It is only validly done so; licitly (in that manner only pleasing to God), then this Sacrament ought to bring about this newness of life by transformation into His image, likeness, and life (subject to the pace of divine dealings with us and ours with His grace - not the instantaneous re-coating Protestant 'Bible-only' believers and like-minded 'liberal free-thinkers' erroneously imagine it to be).

A blessed Easter!

Yet Carmel lives on...

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary



"I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness..." (Jer. 4.26).

In giving an account of the first mission of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers in the Philippines, Fr. Sebastian ("A Man Shall Scatter," 1957) wrote this in his foreword:

"Discalced Carmelites on the missions, how come? I thought...' People are always asking.

On the Feast of St. Joseph (tomorrow's) 1581, St. Teresa of Jesus (of Avila), the reformer of Carmelites, earnestly approved a decree published by Fr. Jerome (Gracian), the Provincial. Thus it begins: 'Inasmuch as Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ... commanded His Apostles to go unto the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature... it is good for all of us, both religious and priests, who succeed the disciples of the Lord in the Ministry, to have always in our hearts this hunger and thirst for souls... And IT IS GOOD FOR US CARMELITES TO ATTEND most particularly and with great zeal to the salvation and TO THE EXTIRPATION OF HERESIES AND THE CONVERSION OF GENTILES, because we are called imitators and successors of the zealous Prophet Elias.'"

Could there be a contradiction between the  'Catholic' spirit and the Teresian Carmel's? "Today, we no longer understand ecumenism in the sense of a return, by which others [heretics and schismatics] would 'be converted' and return to being 'Catholics'. THIS WAS EXPRESSLY ABANDONED AT VATICAN II [speaking of 'ChurchES' in GS and the false religions as also means of salvation in UR]" ('Card.' Kasper of the so-called 'Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity'). Could the 'Church' and her 'OCD religious' abandon a doctrine of the Eternal Word? As was prophesied and prefigured of Old, the 'institutionalist mainstream' (those whose reality of the Church is equal to her  'official' institutions) would depart and so the Prophet Jeremias continues: "...and there dwells not a man in them" (v. 29).

"One must first be a Catholic before he becomes a Carmelite" (Fr. Jerome of the Mother of God, C.D., in his retreat on the Rule of Our Lady).

But then, the good Lord did "not utterly destroy" (Jer. 4.27)...

"Cast out the bondwoman..."

+
J.M.J

4th Sunday in Lent  



Cast out the bondwoman... (from the Lesson, Gal. 4.22-31). 

Bergoglio to the schismatic Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo sect: "We are brothers and sisters in [c]hrist" (29 Feb 2016). But the Christ of Apostolic "Paradosis" (Tradition, cf., 2 Thess. 3.6): They that are not with Me are against Me (cf., Mt. 12.30). To justify their being with the Christ, the foul-mouthed 'Pontifex' insisted on equating them with the CHURCH: "today, the blood of many martyrs of all the ChurchES has become the seed of [Vatican II 'ecumenical'] unity." The Word of God belies him: "I will build My CHURCH...;" and that the blood of heretics and schismatics cannot be the blood of Christian martyrs: "...Nobody can be saved no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the #Catholic Church." - The Eternal Word through Pope Eugene IV speaking "ex cathedra", in the Council of Florence, Session 11, Feb. 4, 1442 - See more at: "The Great Tribulation"

It is the "pseudo-[Catholic] Church" of Masonic and Communist infiltrators (cf., "The Year 1929"), that Apocalyptic "harlot...in purple and scarlet" (Apoc. XVII), that is 'brother' and 'sister' to these "sects of perdition" (2 Pet. 2.1).

"Be not ashamed to say the truth" (Ecclus. 4.24)

+
J.M.J.

Third Sunday in Lent


"The devil was dumb..."

The devil leads souls to their eternal damnation but not with their eyes open as to the malice of sin (never mind the rights and claims of God) that they may not see the evil they seek under the seemingly true and good: for their own malice blinded them (Wis. 2.21); and, falling into sin, he makes them dumb, that through shame, they may conceal their guilt in Confession. Thus, the devil drives souls to hell by a double chain: of transgression wherein we would be as gods on the judgment seat over what is good and evil; and, of a still greater sin of sacrilege in concealing our sins before the tribunal of Our Lord - at the Confessional.

Set a door, O Lord, round about my lips (Ps. 140.3). We should keep a door to our mouth, says St. Augustine, that it may be closed against detraction, calumny, blasphemies, swearings and cursings, immodest and idle talk; silence and restraint against these things is an act of virtue; but, silence in confessing our sins with contrite heart is to be silent on our ailing soul in which fatal (mortal) ulcers and gangrenous sores are festering.

God has made sin shameful that we may abstain from it but gives confidence in confessing it by promising us pardon if we confess our sins with compunction of heart. The devil, on the contrary gives confidence to sin by holding out false hopes of pardon - speaking by the putrid blasphemous mouth of the muddle-headed Antipope Bergogrelio: "the [g]od of justice does not condemn" (cf. our post, the "NEW 'Catholic THEOlogy'" of Vatican II: "The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II-Catholicism") for he ever waits our conversion, seeks not the separation of sinners; after sin, he inspires shame to prevents its exposure by Sacramental Confession.

The foolishness behind the shame the devil inspires in a sinner is refuted by the written Word of God: there is a shame that brings glory and grace (Ecclus. 4.25). Before a secular tribunal, our acknowledgement of our guilt brings condemnation; but, before the tribunal of Our Lord is our pardon and the crown of eternal glory. How could we be afraid of the reproof of our Confessor and yet fear not the rebuke of the Eternal Omniscient Judge at the hour of death and on the Last Judgment: I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will show thy wickedness to the nations (Nah. 3.5). "The devil," says St. Ambrose, "keeps an account of our sins to charge us with them before God." To "prevent such accusation, we must anticipate our accuser accusing ourselves before our Confessor that no accuser could stand against us before the tribunal of Our Lord."

If we excuse our sin, according to St. Augustine, we shut it up within our soul and therefore we shut out pardon for even just one single mortal sin we refuse to deplore before God's tribunal; thus, we suffer, according to St. Alphonsus, an anticipation of hell.

To cast out this dumb devil, the finger of God - the Spirit of Truth - points out and exposes to us the point of our departure and separation from God under the light of the truth. The finger of God presents to and convinces us of a hard truth our ego, with all its vainglory, pretensions, love for what is easy, convenient, comfortable, and the emotionally good, evades. This very moment - this moment of the truth - is the moment of our salvation. This is the ground of our saving union with Him Who is the Omnipotent. This is that pure ground of the Lord and Savior where the lying spirits have no part whatsoever (against the 'ecumenical' madness of the disoriented Rome and Menzingen). For thy soul, be not ashamed to say the truth (Ecclus. 4.24). The truth is not only for the good of one's soul; it is the good also of others' - wherefore, Catholic Resistance must also speak not only against the "New World Order" but also against the pseudo-Church of Vatican II (a 'Church' for the "New World Order" of Freemasonry) and the 'extraordinary' integration into that same poisoned pasture prepared for the precursor of the Antichrist - the Antipope in Rome - being pursued by the mainstream-SSPX hierarcy, alongside sedevacantism

Christian Redemptive Suffering

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. John of Matha



Lord, that I may see (Lk. 18.41).

The Holy Gospel for the past Quinquagesima Sunday announces the approaching Passion and Death of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is not the first time, though. Holy Church points out what St. Luke noted: the Apostles did not understand and the word was hid from them. The Apostles did not understand, imagining the Savior's mission to be like another pursuit of an earthly conqueror which is for the rebuilding of Israel; they were dreaming only of triumphs and of occupying the first places in the kingdom. The Savior's Passion and Death, then, was a cause of upset and scandal for them.

It is not by chance that immediately after the prediction of the Savior's bitter Passion and a most humiliating Death on the Cross, St. Luke recounts the healing of the blind man of Jericho. We are blind to the mystery of the redemptive suffering by the Cross for it strikes us in what we hold most near and dear - takes away from us what is not God and that which does not lead to God:

Pride of self-excellence and sufficiency - we extol our reason, talents, abilities, good qualities, intelligence on a pedestal of superiority but for which God does not provide a good solid ground; God does not require it yet and with a position in the service of Him and His interests (in which the interest of eternal happiness of others forms part). The Apostles in the Gospel were not so much concerned with the interest of identifying the reestablishment of the kingdom of Israel with the establishment of the reign of God in individuals and societies than as with the great privilege of having a say in the affairs of the kingdom.

Purely material ideal of life - we dream of earthly prosperity the "New World Order" offers with its comforts and pleasures even unto luxury: the fine food for the lusts of the flesh.

These cry out by silent or outspoken complaints against the arrangements of Divine Providence especially communicated to us by our legitimate superiors who stand in the place of our true God; or, by thousand pretexts and excuses of subterfuge or subtly planned ways of subversion to pursue rather their own alternative designs which, because out of the way of God's designs and order and devoid of the word of our legitimate superiors, must run into stupid inconsistencies by contradictions (the foundation of the religion of Antipope Bergogrelio, of the Fellayite 'SSPXism', and sedevacantism).

Let us not run the path of delusion. Can we be imagining that a new road is to built for us? Let us ask not to be exempted from this redemptive suffering of the Cross.

Salvation is in the "Blood of the Lamb"

Apocalypse XIV now unfolding (cf., our posts "The Wine of the Wrath of God" and "After Pope Benedict XVI, the 'Last' Roman Pontiff?"). The divine chastisement of world-wide conflagration (Lk. 17.29-30, cf., our post "Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, and the Annihilation of Many Nations") to annihilate the 'super-power' and cities and nations drunk with the wine of its immodesty, impurity, fornication, homosexuality, and blasphemies (Apoc. 14.8) is imminent - the close of our end-times period (distinct from the consummation of the world, Mt. 28.20).

They... have made them white in the Blood of the Lamb
(Apoc. 7.14) ... All things... are cleansed with Blood: and without shedding of Blood there is no remission (Heb. 9.22).

The Blood of the [Divine] Lamb can be availed of in the traditional Rite of the Sacrament of Penance (cf., our post "On Concealing Sins in Confession") and of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist (the Traditional Latin Mass). Go to our traditional Catholic Mass Centers (links on the left-side bar of this site). Flee to the mountains... (Mt. 24.16).
