IT'S ALL GRACE ...
HOW DEEPLY TRUE IT IS!

We hope to recall the examples
of St. Monica,
St. Therese
and St. Faustina,
and other Holy Saints,
who rescued many souls
from seriously sinful lives,
and helped them get to Heaven,
through the holy power of 
INTERCESSORY PRAYER!

JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER

DID MARY'S PRAYERS OBTAIN THE HELP
OF ST. SIMON OF CYRENE
AND ST. VERONICA?
YES, INDEED!

When we were taught
the Baltimore Catechism
by the holy Franciscan Sisters,
who labored without a salary,
 in St. Anthony of Padua Parish
Grade School (1956 - 1964)
we learned many things about GRACE!
We learned that:

1. We had entered the State of Sancifying Grace through the Sacramental Entrance Rite of Holy Baptism - when we were just little babies!
2. We became adopted sons and daughters of God through the exorcism oath of the Holy Sacrament of Baptism.
3. We were no longer under the power of Original Sin, which was a consequence of the sin of Adam and Eve (Dec 24 is their feast day on traditional Catholic calendars) 
4. We should never violate our Baptismal Vows, but renew them each and every time we entered church - by blessing ourselves with holy water, while saying the same words used in our Holy Baptism.
5. We needed to stay in the State of Sanctifying Grace all of our lives.
6. If we died in a state of grace, then we were on our way to Heaven.
7. If we died, and we were, not in a state of grace, then we were on our way to Hell.
8. In a state of grace, the life of Christ was alive within our souls.
9. And a mortal sin killed the life of Christ within our souls.
10. Mortal sin crucifies Christ within our souls and makes us enemies of God.
11. If we ever committed a mortal sin, we needed to be truly sorry, confess our sins to the priest, make restitution, amend our lives, and firmly resolve to avoid the near occasions of sin in the future.
12. If we remained unrepentant in mortal sin, then we became a slave to sin and to Satan.
13. Grace, in its deepest essence and meaning, is DIVINE SONSHIP and THE INDWELLING OF THE LIFE OF THE BLESSED TRINITY IN ONE'S SOUL, and one enters this state through the Holy Sacrament of Holy Baptism. Through Holy Baptism, one is "born again of water and the Holy Ghost" (John 3: 5). Through Holy Baptism, one is given "power to be made the sons of God," (John 1: 12). Through Holy Baptism, one follows the instructions of St. Peter, the first pope, who said, "...Do penance, and be baptized every one of you..." (Acts 2: 38).
14. One enters the entire Sacramental Life of the Church, which contains all seven (the number of the covenant) sacraments, through the holy entrance rite and the holy exorcism oath of the Holy Sacrament of Holy Baptism!!!
    
    God is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!!! 
       God's Seven Sacraments 
       are HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!!!

You know that God does not change (immutability) and you know that Catholic moral teaching does not change either. So, let us apply the teachings of the Baltimore Catechism to present day leaders and politicians who support the murder of innocent little babies through abortion.

Let us remember
the three conditions
necessary for any mortal sin:
It must be a serious matter;
there must be sufficient reflection;
there must be full consent of the will.

Pro-abortion politicians have committed many mortal sins by their constant support of abortion through the years. They are, as of yet and from all reports, not repentant! The life of grace within their souls is dead, and they are enemies of God. They do not belong to the family of God, but they have put themselves, by their own free will, into the family of Satan.
Their souls are not controlled by holy angels.
Their souls are under the control of demons
(Demonic Oppression of Souls).

By refusing to repent, they have become slaves to sin, and they have gone on to commit other serious sins. They have become spiritually blind, and they perceive evil as good.

The unrepentant Pharisees acted the same way.  They watched Jesus perform a miracle right before their very own eyes, and then claimed that Jesus healed through the power of Beelzebub (See The Gospel of St. Luke 11: 15).

This is what happens to any person who refuses to repent of mortal sin.  They allow themselves to remain under demonic oppression and control.  Was Adolph Hitler in a state of grace when he murdered millions of Jews?

Pro-abortion politicians
are not in a state of grace,
because they assist
in the procurement of abortion.

Abortion is the murder of
a completely innocent little baby.
Abortionists are paid assassins!!!
Abortionists are not ethical doctors!
Authentic doctors heal!
Those who assist in
obtaining (procuring) an abortion
endanger their souls to Hell!!!

 How do you rescue a soul in mortal sin and controlled by demons? You consult the best spiritual director in the entire universe, Jesus Christ, and you follow the example of the saints.

Read Mark 9: 13-28 (in the Latin Vulgate, please). Jesus ends by saying, "This kind (of demon) can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." This is the type of demonic control that we are confronting in the souls of our leaders.

Now read Mathew 12: 43-45 for more instructions from Jesus about the diabolic thinking and actions of demons.

The demon considers your soul as his "house", his place of habitation, "and when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man" that demon tries to re-enter with seven other spirits more wicked than himself.

These seven other demons
are most likely the demons of
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS:
pride, covetousness (greed)
envy, lust,
gluttony, anger and sloth.

(see Mathew 26: 40.)

Our Lady Of Grace
This beautiful picture is an inspirational depiction
of the many wonderful graces and blessings
available to us
through the intercession
of The Blessed Virgin Mary.

      HERE IS A MOST BEAUTIFUL PRAYER: 

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
Our Life, Our Sweetness,
and Our Hope. 
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.  
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this vale of tears. 
Turn then, Most Gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us,
and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

     Oh clement, Oh loving, Oh sweet Virgin Mary!  
Pray for us, Oh Holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ!

LET US PRAY!

Oh God, Thine only begotten Son,
by His life, death and resurrection,
has purchased for us
the means of eternal salvation.
(not "the reward" of eternal salvation!) 
Grant we beseech Thee, Oh Lord,
that by meditating
upon these mysteries,
of the Most Holy Rosary
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may both imitate what they contain,
and obtain what they promise,
through Christ, Our Lord.  Amen.

MARY WAS THERE
WHEN JESUS WAS TAKEN DOWN
FROM THE CROSS

*******

NOW LET US DISCUSS
HOW TO RESCUE SOULS
IN DANGER
OF ETERNAL DAMNATION!

You rescue a soul under demonic control just as
Jesus says, and just as St. Monica teaches us
with her son, Augustine!!!

St. Monica persevered in prayer and
offered many Masses for many years
to rescue Augustine from PAGANISM! 

 
St. Monica with her prodigal son, Augustine

St. Monica prayed for many years to covert her son from Paganism.  We can accellerate this process by getting large numbers of people involved in intercessory prayer in every church in America.  There is stength in numbers!

MODERN DAY PAGANISM
IS EVERYWHERE
IN MODERN DAY AMERICA TODAY,
OR HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED?

*******

St. Therese, the Little Flower,
teaches us a similar lesson
by gaining the grace of repentance,
through intercessory prayer,
for the unrepentant prisoner
who was scheduled for execution!!!
 


A BEAUTIFUL HOLYCARD OF ST. THERESE

An authentic photograph of St. Therese
which shows her devotion to
THE CHILD JESUS AND
THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS!

IF INTERCESSORY PRAYER
WORKED SO WELL
FOR THE LITTLE FLOWER,
THEN IT CAN ALSO WORK FOR US, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS 
ORGANIZED IN CHURCHES!!!

*******

St. Faustina was declared the very First Saint of the entire New Millennium, so that we would follow her example and practice MERCY!!!

An artist's rendition of Jesus appearing to St. Faustina

A beautiful picture of Saint Faustina,
who is known as
"THE APOSTLE OF DIVINE MERCY"

Jesus taught St. Faustina this:
"THE GREATER THE SINNER,
THE MORE HE IS ENTITLED
TO MY MERCY."

It takes
perseverance in prayer,
and fasting and almsgiving
to rescue the souls
of great sinners 
infested with demons.

So, my dear fellow Catholics,
when are we going
to get real, get Catholic,
 get merciful and get busy
rescuing pro-abortion politicians
and other leaders
who are so sinful???

 JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!

DO NOT PLACE
YOUR TRUST IN
SINFUL POLITICAL LEADERS

PLACE YOUR TRUST,
YOUR FAITH, YOUR HOPE
IN JESUS CHRIST,
YOUR REDEEMER!

NOT IN FALLIBLE MAN!!!

A One Hour A Week Prayer Group
in every Catholic parish 
is what we ask of you,
along with a little extra fasting,
and a little extra almsgiving,
dedicated to the purpose
of rescuing the world
with the POWER OF PRAYER 

Is one hour per week
of extra intercessory prayer
too much to ask???
(see Mathew 26: 40)
"WHAT?  COULD YOU NOT
WATCH ONE HOUR WITH ME?"

IF JESUS ENDURED ALL OF THIS
AGONY AND SUFFERING,
THEN CAN WE NOT ENDURE
ONE HOUR A WEEK OF HOLY PRAYER
WITH OUR CHIDLREN
IN CHURCHES ALL OVER AMERICA?
