biblical support for preparedness

April is the Month of the Holy Eucharist, Part 2

As of Septuagesima (in the trad Liturgical Calendar), we have entered “The Cycle of Easter:  The Mystery of the Redemption,” which remains until next Advent.  This Cycle contains:  Septuagesima, Lent, Passiontide, Easter or Paschal Time and Time After Pentecost.  We are still in Easter Time, a time of great joy, after the penance of Lent, when we rejoice that +++ “It is Finished” +++ and we have so great a Resurrected Savior.

Indeed He is Risen!

We have the Month of the Holy Eucharist, Divine Mercy celebrated this month, and a deeply concerning war going on.  It seems a theme of reparation and mercy is in order right now.  We also have the Major Rogation Day or Greater Rogations on the 25th.  This is an historical day of penance, similar to the Ember Days.  Here are some great links for you to peruse…

Apostolate of Eucharistic Adoration:  Eucharistic Reparation

EWTN UK:  7 Powerful Ways to Make Reparation for the Blasphemies Against Our Lord in the Eucharist

Bishop Schneider’s Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation

From I Am Jesus website:

“Pope Pius VII granted an indulgence to everyone who, with contrition for his sins and with devotion, says the following Act of Reparation to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament…Pope Pius VII, who was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 14 March 1800, to his death in 1823. He reigned during the time of dramatic conflicts with Napoleon, and his spiritual leadership was instrumental in restoring the Church. Immediately upon becoming Pope, he bravely left the safety of Venice for Rome which was still occupied by Napoleon’s army, to face whatever persecution might arise. His papacy brought about the restoration of the Church after the armies of the French Revolution had devastated the papacy under Pius VI. Written at a time when the Church was under attack, Pope Pius VII wrote this beautiful Act of Reparation Prayer for the laity.”

Act of Reparation by Pope Pius VII

Jesus, my God, my Saviour, true God and true Man, with that most profound homage with which the faith itself inspires me, I adore and love Thee with my whole heart, enclosed in the most august Sacrament of the Altar, in reparation for all the acts of irreverence, profanation, and sacrilege, which I may ever have been so unhappy as to have committed, as well as for all such like acts that ever have been done, or which may be done, though God forbid they should be, in ages yet to come.

I adore Thee, therefore, my God, not indeed as Thou deservest, nor as much as I am bound to adore, but as far as I am able; and I would that I could adore Thee with all the perfection of which all reasonable persons are capable. Meantime I purpose now and ever to adore Thee, not only for those Catholics who adore Thee not, and love Thee not, but also in the stead of, and for the conversion of all heretics, schismatics, impious atheists, blasphemers, impostors, Mahometans, Jews, and idolaters.

Jesus, my God, mayest Thou be ever known, adored, loved, and praised every moment, in the most holy and divine Sacrament. I adore Thee every moment, O living Bread of Heaven, Great Sacrament! Jesus, Heart of Mary, I pray Thee send Thy blessing on my soul. Holiest Jesus! Loving Saviour! I give Thee my heart. May all know, adore, and praise every moment, always, the most holy and divine Sacrament.

AMEN.

Reflections on This Week's Rosary Campaign

My husband Don and I just prayed Monday’s Joyful Mysteries for the WEF conference. What continually came to me, with each Mystery, was the glory of the Light of Christ and how it completely overshadows darkness…to the point where darkness seems utterly irrelevant, anathema. Each event happened in a very particular time and place for the benefit of humanity…

“For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.”

John 3:16

In light of the Good News, how can any earthly cabal of evildoers, no matter how powerful, at all disturb us? Christ’s Light fills the whole world. These pockets of evil are like fires which burn themselves out. They always come to naught. They always end in miserable failure.

So let our hearts not be troubled, but let us also be realistic, understanding these times and how we must address them. Especially if there are vulnerable ones in our care, we cannot be willfully blind, which is a sin. We have a duty to them, to know what is happening around us and the implications of it…

“Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season. Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.”

Matthew 24:45

So, in the grand scheme of things, the machinations of evil are like a drop in the ocean of God’s love and the wondrous world in which we live. However, in earthly time and space, these are the challenges we must rise to, to win our Heavenly reward.

Tuesday’s Sorrowful Mysteries showed me something I never thought about before. Each Mystery of Our Lord’s Passion involves the shedding of His Precious Blood. The ground of this earth was soaked with His Blood, sanctified and redeemed by it. Evil can hold no sway over us now. It has lost all its power completely. We must only enter into this Mystery, the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church. How obscene for evil to think it can override or overwrite the Blood of Christ. We already have the victory!

Wednesday’s Glorious Mysteries illumined something similar to the Joyful Mysteries. Evil cannot stand the Light. Heaven is so enthralling as to make evil and any earthly suffering insignificant. This is how the martyrs go to their deaths. Each Glorious Mystery involves an event of spectacular wonder and importance. The demons cannot look at such things. They recoil, run away, hide…in the darkness, under rocks, under the ground. St. Patrick, when returning to Ireland triumphant, drove all the snakes away. This of course, is a metaphor for driving away sin.

The World Economic Forum and their ilk must persecute the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church because they cannot coexist with her. The two are diametrically opposed, traveling in opposite directions, eternally. No common ground. Which is why all of society’s systems are becoming inversions of what they should be: the medical system is no longer about health, the academic system is no longer about learning, the political system no longer serves the people. The sane folk left must engage in fight or flight at this point. There are no other options when the human condition has reached its boundaries.

“And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:5

Deo Gratias!

The Luminous Mysteries take us on the journey of Jesus’ ministry, the telling of the Good News, ending in the Last Supper, immediately prior to the Passion. 3 of the Mysteries involve Sacraments, one is Our Lord’s teaching and the other, the revelation of His glory. The dark forces of this world, which have acquired so much power due to the sins of mankind, have no use for any of this. In fact, they actively work against Christ, His teachings of love and peace and His Holy Church.

The World Economic Forum stated 8 years ago, that by 2030 “Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.” This prediction is coming true right before our very eyes. They mean what they say and a strategy is being systematically implemented. Western values of morality and human rights came from Christendom. We are arguably living in a post-Christian society, or even worse, a degraded form of “Christianity.” A world redeemed by Christ’s Blood and in rejection of it, must suffer the consequences.

The images presented here are from the Rebel News video:

Who’s All Here at the World Economic Forum?  Touring the Davos Promenade.

This is a 25-minute video, in which Ezra Levant of Rebel News and his team, walk through the outdoor Promenade of this year’s World Economic Forum.  Every year, this lovely skiing village in the Swiss Alps, is transformed into a mall of globalist propaganda as the world’s powerful people meet to decide the future.  This look into the belly of the beast is quite eye-opening.  It shines a light upon darkness, if you have the eyes to see the truth behind the lies. 

In this footage, they discuss child trafficking, along with clips of Klaus Schwab suggesting an end to free elections and Yuval Harari referring to “useless people” with a look of disgust on his face.  Levant describes the WEF as “a parallel crypto-government…this is a bad ideas laboratory that is being pumped into the arteries of the world, into every country.”   

Apparently, the WEF Promenade also has its own laws in place during this annual week.  Distributing Christian literature is illegal, while a Shamanic ritual is performed at the actual conference.  Christians were removed from the Promenade by police and told to go elsewhere in the city.  Rebel News speaks to these peaceful people:

World Economic Forum EXPELS Christians

Here’s an article by Catholic News Agency describing the Brazilian pagan ritual:

Shamanic Ritual at World Economic Forum:  What Spirit Rules in Davos?

For a group of people who are known for their dislike of tradition, it is ironic that this presentation invoked respect for “the wishes of our ancestors.”  I guess they’re selective.  This Shamanic rite included the participation of those in attendance at the Forum.  None of this is surprising if you’ve done the research on these cabals of influential leaders…the road leads straight to Hell and it gets extremely dark.  They are showing their true colors and still your neighbor down the road has no idea and doesn’t want to hear it…and won’t even realize there’s a problem until it’s too late.  The poor ignorant tribal people will not have the opportunity for conversion at Davos, unless they manage to run into the Christians by accident.

Friday…the Sorrowful Mysteries once again, on the final day of the WEF conference.  “Deciding Your Tomorrow.”  This sign on the walkway, whatever its specific meaning, crystallizes their whole mission…and the injustice of it.  Who were the decision-makers involved in Our Lord’s Passion?

Jesus, in His Agony, contemplated the suffering He would endure the next day.  In a bloody sweat, He wished for this “cup” to be taken from Him, but acquiesced, “Thy will be done.”  These small men, Jews and Romans, would make the decisions which would ultimately turn upon them.  Satan always works against himself.  We know how the story ends.  This is our story as well…”the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.”  The Jewish leaders made decisions, Judas made a decision, those who yelled for the release of Barabbas, Pilate, Our Lord’s tormentors…they all made decisions.  All were guilty to varying degrees.  But in God’s great plan, these decisions wrought our salvation.

It is hard to understand how, surrounded by the beautiful Swiss Alps, anyone could fail to recognize and praise God’s creation.  How can one look at an unborn baby, so helpless and innocent…and feel nothing?  How can one look at a baby in his mother’s arms and think nothing of releasing bombs upon their heads?  How could all those who participated in the torture and death of Our Blessed Lord, look upon His Holy Face and fail to become enthralled with love?  It’s not our job to understand, just to make sure we are nothing at all like them.

In the month of the Holy Name of Jesus, the World Economic Forum denies this Name.  The workers of evil are so terrified by His Name, they cannot stand to even be near those who speak it.  There is no room for Christ in their hearts because His teachings of love are opposed to their methods of control.  Decisions are constantly being made that affect all of our lives, by those who actively work against Christ and His Church…and in fact all that is good, it seems.  So we must make decisions as well.  Go along with it?  Fight?  Flee?  It is a time for decisions.  And many of these will not be easy.

Just as those plans made long ago by those who thought they could defeat Christ, failed…so too will those made by todays evildoers fail…and the meek will inherit the earth and build a new world, close to God and nature, the Authentic Life…and the Bride of Christ will be restored to her pristine beauty!  

Are You in Idaho??? / Ideas for a Catholic Prepper Event

Modern Homesteading Conference offers two full days of practical, strategic, and proven presentations. It will be held in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on June 30th and July 1st. You’ll gain insights from individuals who have honed their techniques over many years. There will be live demonstrations to bring these concepts to life before your eyes. When it comes to pursuing a self-sufficient lifestyle and turning your homesteading dreams into reality, mere aspirations and online tutorials can only take you so far.

What: Modern Homesteading Conference

When: June 30th and July 1st

Where: Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

The curated lineup of speakers have thrived in challenging northern climates. These experienced individuals understand the unique demands of short warm-weather growing seasons, enduring long winters, and two months of rain scarcity in July and August. They’ve not only managed to feed their families year-round from their homesteads, but have also extended their offerings to provide pasture-raised livestock to others. The speakers will equip you with information for: 

  • Enhancing food production.

  • Leveraging the benefits of herbs for personal and livestock use.

  • Incorporating livestock into your homestead.

  • Mastering the art of preserving food for year-round consumption.

  • And much more!

Thanks to Peak Prosperity for this info. It has been copied from their email.

If you are not in Idaho or the surrounding area, and you have expertise in these topics, please consider chairing a community, diocesan or parish-based event. How do you Catholicize (I just made up that word) it? Obviously, you can come up with your own ideas. I might suggest discussing: Saint Francis, Saint Isidore the Farmer, Saint Fiacre or Saint Hildegard of Bingen…Saint Joseph was a woodworker!…the Ember Days…growing wheat and grapes for the Holy Mass (we should all have these seeds)…how to perform an emergency baptism…Biblical support for preparedness. Also, the Catholic Bug-Out Bag!

We will post it for you, of course. Gotta get the info out for the children of God and their little ones to navigate the coming days!
