Why Devotion to the Immaculate Heart?

Our Lady of Fatima is Not Optional!!

In her epic interview with Fr Augustine Fuentes 26th December 1957, St Sr Lucia said she was given lights about the Most Blessed Trinity which she was not permitted to reveal.

I now think I know what those are, and, at the risk of tossing pearls before the Proverbial Swine, I am going to reveal them.  Yesterday, I was reading the Roman Catechism concerning the Trinity...

The Roman Catechism says that God "contemplating and understanding Himself, begot the Son like and equal to Himself".  Well, at the risk of making the Roman Catechism sound heretical, not exactly.

 John the Evangelist is ever insistent that "God is Charity", and as perfect Charity I assert that, Just as God cannot deceive, He cannot look inward at Himself, but only outward at the Other.

Recall that it is Lucifer who looked INWARD at himself, and admired himself to the exclusion of God.  This is the antithesis of charity, which looks ever outward.  That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ...

(And that is why the Greatest Commandment is that "You shall love the Lord Your God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength", and why we love even our enemies as ourselves.)

...gave us a New Commandment, to Love our Neighbors as Ourselves, and why He said that there is no greater act of charity than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.

So God the Father looks Outward and Begets the Son, and the Holy Ghost Proceeds (is not Begotten- the distinction is mysterious) from the Father and Son Loving and Embracing  Each Other.

(Here one notes that this "act" is eternal and unchanging. As we say in the Gloria Patri: "As it was in the Beginning, is Now, and Ever Shall Be." Not in the past, but in an eternal present.)

(That is why Our Lord Jesus Christ said: "My Father worketh until now; and I work" [St John Chapter 5, Verse 17].  That is why St John also said "In the Beginning was the Word...")

(Now, in expositing all this, one must beware of very dangerous ground, for one will be tempted to believe in Universal Salvation, seeing as Our Lord Jesus Christ "led death away captive...")

(But, in the Eternal Sacrifice, Our Lord very clearly said, when He consecrated the Chalice of His Most Precious Blood: "For You and For MANY..."  WORDS MEAN THINGS!!!  NOT ALL WILL BE SAVED!!!)

(And, as an aside, that is why Tielhard de Chardin's "Omega Point" and his "Noosphere" and "Vital Immanence" are such despicable heresies.  They all act as though God is changing and "evolving"!!!)

Returning now to the main discussion, The Trinity, as Pure Charity, ever looks outward, and their "next thought" (recall we are talking in terms of eternity) is Our Lady, God's Greatest Masterpiece!!

Our Lady, who is the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, and Spouse of the Holy Ghost, alone enjoys this special relationship with the Most Holy Trinity.  Lucifer saw this, and was jealous!

In the Natural Order of Creation, Our Lady was so much inferior to Him.  She had not his power, nor his wisdom, nor his understanding or intellect.  She was so much closer to Nothingness...

But it would please the Everlasting God to stoop down and become a Mere Creature through the instrumentality of Our Lady, and for this God would create the race of men, that in the fullness of time...

He might be worshiped and adored by both men and all living things (to the extent that is possible in brute animals) for His stupendous act of infinite charity in becoming, as it were, Nothingness.

The Center of Fatima is not the Conversion of Russia and a certain period of Peace for the World.  NO!!  What is most important is this: "God wishes to establish devotion to My Immaculate Heart."

God is charity, and as such does not even want us to think of Himself, because we are weak creatures immersed in an ocean of sin.  We tend to see God as unjust and overbearing and narcissistic...

...and we tend to see his Law as constricting and depriving us of so much enjoyment and bliss.  And so He gives us His Mother to contemplate, so full of tenderness, of devotion, pleading for mercy...

Oh how she communicated her ardent desires and ocean of tears and sorrows (as recorded in the lamentations of Jeremiah) to little Jacinta, who wanted to do nothing but sacrifice for "poor sinners"!!

The detractors of St Louis Marie de Montfort used to complain: "Your Disciples ignore Jesus in the Tabernacle, and run to the Altar of Our Lady.  They substitute Our Lady for God!"  Dumb Protestants!!

Whenever we have TRUE devotion to Our Lady, We truly admire God, who "outdid Himself" in creating the wonder that is Our Lady, Bright as the Sun, Fair as the Moon, Terrible as an Army in Battle Array!

(Now we can also understand why Lucifer hates women in general and motherhood in particular.  This is why he loves Sodomy and Depravity, and goads men to bestial lust and impurity of every sort...)

(This is why Satanic rituals are steeped in all many of bestial and obscene acts united with the shedding of blood, and why pornography always ends in ritual murder and the lust to destroy, destroy..)

(And this is why Lucifer drowns his dupes in an ocean of lies.  He most subtly distorts everything.  But the more he tries to mutilate and disfigure Holy Mother Church, the more Our Lady shines!!!)

Ever since Our Lady appeared at Fatima, the supernatural twilight that covered the world even then has deepened.  Vatican II unleashed fog and darkness- the Smoke of Satan!!- into the Church.

And the ongoing Great Sacrilege and Abomination of Desolation that is the "Novus Ordo Missae" has plunged the world and the church finally into the inky blackness of deepest night.  But amidst...

...this obscuring of the Light of Faith the Evening Star, the Stella Abends, of Our Lady of Fatima shines more and more brightly, a beacon guiding the Barque of Peter to eternal shores.

And Lo! this becomes the Morning Star, the Stella Matitudina, that heralds the Dawn of the Sun of Justice.  And that is why we must do everything to cultivate devotion to the Immaculate Heart!!

All the other "apparitions" are just so much noise and nonsense.  They are sterile, either stating the obvious consequences of impiety,worldliness and loss of faith, or looking to a restoration...

... of a mere temporal prosperity, of the "times of the nations" which we now see passing away.  Soon the wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and swords be beaten into plowshares...

But in the meantime, as we see Holy Mother Church, in her temporal aspects, having been crucified, now laid in the tomb, let us stand with Our Lady at the tomb, and return with her to the cenacle...

Let us not be like the Apostles and Disciples- the Bishops and Priests- who doubted and were led astray.  No, let us stay with Our Lady in the Cenacle, for greater storms are coming...

Antichrist is rising, and many shall be deceived, even those who think themselves good Catholics, because they have not discerned, but have preferred the enjoyments and pomps of this age...

The Antichrist shall speak wondrous things, and make peace between all nations, and introduce to the world prosperity and peace and worldly paradise.  But beneath it all shall be deception and death.

The Antichrist will deny the New Testament and the New Covenant, and will rather preach that He is the synthesis of Man and Creation, the fulfillment of the longings of all religions.

We rather remain firmly convinced that our destiny lies beyond the grave, and that, by becoming nothing in this world, but rather embracing the cross, and shedding our blood when the time comes...

...That we will then inherit the stars, as it were.  He who is not willing to shed his blood, he who does not have the courage to rise above the enslavement of the Beast; he will die the Second Death.

And so, wearing the Brown Scapular, and with Rosary in Hand, let not the tempest, nor things below, nor deceptions, nor unjust condemnations, deter us from the ascent of Mt Carmel.  Viva Cristo Rey!
