22:25
And here we know the end of our crisis. The Blessed Virgin Mary said, the pope, the Holy Father, and no one else [it must be him not a substitute], must consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and he must do it in the way that she demanded it: and that is, that he must consecrate
Russia specifically, and he must command, as pope, all the bishops of the Church, to unite with him in that consecration. And when he obeys Mary -- it doesn't matter if every bishop disobeys him (that's fine), but
when he obeys Mary, Russia will be converted. There will become a great victory.
23:00
Can we consecrate Russia? We cannot, and we should not. We don't kneel in front of Our Lady and say, "Mary, since the pope won't consecrate Russia, we'll consecrate Russia for him!"
No, we do not. When the priest doesn't come, you can't do the Mass in the absence of the priest. You can't do the absolution in the absence of the priest. Therefore, we can't do the consecration of Russia in the absence of the Pope.
The pope will be converted. And how shall he be converted? He will be converted by the
Conversus Dominum, spoken of by the Council of Trent. In the Gospel of St. Mark, it has these two words. Our Lord walked by St. Peter, on that Good Friday morning, after he had denied Christ three times. He was warming himself by the fire. He was having creature comforts. He was getting along with the people of the world -- when he had turned his back to Christ. But Christ walked by St. Peter, and the Gospel says,
"Conversus Dominum." The Lord converted. The Council of Trent talks about that passage, and it says that we believe conversion happens "when I" turn away from sin, and "I" turn towards Christ. But this is not conversion.
Conversion happens when Christ turns, and when Christ looks at us in our sin, and Christ pours His grace into us and Christ lifts us up out of sin. It is Christ who must convert.
And here, Our Lord walked by,
conversus Dominum, and the Lord turned. And the Lord converted, and the Lord stared Peter in the eyes, and Peter remembered his sins.
24:40
And this will happen one day to Pope Francis, and if not to Pope Francis then to his successor, and we know that it will infallibly happen, because the Blessed Virgin Mary said it will happen.
Don't listen to these modern foolish theologians, pseudo-theologians, who tell you, as Bishop Fellay said recently, it's just a private revelation; you don't have to believe it.
It came from Mary. It came from heaven. We have to believe it. And She said, "Russia will be converted." She said, the pope will consecrate Russia, but it will be late, but he will do it, and therefore we know with an infallible certitude that Mary spoke the truth, and that one day, the Lord shall turn, and the Lord shall look into the face of Pope Francis, if not him his successor, and then he shall remember his sins, and weep bitterly for his sins, and then he shall come back and strengthen the brethren, and then he shall fulfill the power and the request of God.
Remember also, the power of our Church. What do I do, in order to make Christ present on the altar? Is there a special exercise program? A special training, of finger exercises? Mouth exercises? Special training by buying the video from 1999 you can get on the infomercial at 2:00 in the morning, "YouTube - you can say Mass too," by doing it the right way, taking the right medications, you too can become a priest, dial 1-800-266-SAYMASS -- you too, for $19.99 can say mass. Is that where it comes from? Not exactly.
God puts a power into the priest. He puts a power that is identical in all the priests. Like that priest 800 years ago, who did not believe that Jesus was God. He was a wicked priest. He did not believe that [Christ] was in the Blessed Sacrament. And at the altar, he said, at Lanciano, Italy,
"Hoc est enum corpus meum," not believing, and Christ became present as He always becomes present. But then He added another miracle, and the host began to bleed, and the host turned into the visible flesh, and that host has been there for 800 years. So the miracle was performed by the priest who did NOT believe.
What is the power of the priest? What is the power of the Church? It is the power of God, not the power of the priest. God poured His power into this man. Why? We don't know. Only God knows -- but he did it. He chose to make me a priest, and I have the power, the REAL power, to bring Jesus Christ upon the altar. From whence does that power come?
It doesn't come from my exercise program. It comes from heaven. And so, we must remember the power of our Church, that God, who can make a foolish man, make Himself present on the altar. How hard can it be to pour His grace into a wicked Francis? How hard can it be to pour His grace into a wicked Peter, or a wicked Augustine, or a wicked Mary Magdalene, or anyone else He wishes to pour His grace into? And when He pours it in, they shall be converted. Saul of Tarsus was very wicked, the most wicked of all: he became the greatest of the Apostles.
Where is the power of our Church, if we really believe in it? We are lacking the supernatural. We are lacking the supernatural spirit when we say, "Oh, this man, he doesn't have the faith so he can't be the pope," etcetera.
God makes popes. God makes bishops. God makes priests. God makes us baptized. And He can convert whomever He wishes, however He wishes, whenever He wishes. But when He makes things a certain way, He will not change His mind.
The pope must be converted, and the pope must strengthen the brethren. How do we remain faithful to that Holy Father? By saying the words that he should say, recognizing that it is necessary for us, and it doesn't replace his words. We must say,
"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God," and be ready to die for that Christ, recognizing the time will come when the pope says it, and when the pope says it, hell shall be shaken.
We all instinctively know that when the pope says a truth, it has more power than when a bishop says the same truth. And when a bishop says a truth, it has more power than when a priest says the same truth. And when a priest says a truth, it has more power than when the faithful say the same truth:
Because It Matters Who Speaks.
It's the way God made it; it's the way God made the world.
So we pray for the conversion of the pope, and we don't accept any kind of sedevacantism. We pray for the conversion of the pope; we know that one day, it will happen. We just pray that it comes SOONER, rather than later. Then the great victory of Christ will come, because it is not great men that attack and defeat devils, it is only the great God, only the good God. He uses human instruments, appear to us instruments, like a pen is an instrument to write, but it doesn’t think, it doesn't decide the words, and so priests are only instruments in the hand of God, and so likewise the pope. And we must pray that these instruments become converted and no longer block the grace of God, and then the grace will flow through them, and God will convert Russia, and bring about victory in this great crisis, in which we find ourselves now.
