REMARKABLE MESSAGES – I 


Eleison Comments Issue DCCCLXXV (875)
April 20, 2024


The horror coming threatens massive pain, 
And that is why She warns, again and again.

When it comes to apparitions and messages supposedly coming from Heaven, to be prudent is certainly wise, because God knows, the Devil has so infiltrated the minds of churchmen with the betrayal of the true Catholic Faith by the devilries of Vatican II that these churchmen can hardly any longer be relied on to make a proper Catholic discernment for us between what is and what is not truly from Heaven, as St Paul calls upon us to do in Scripture – I Thess.V, 19–21. But one can be excessively prudent, especially when the normal Church Authority is itself in confusion. One thing is certain: just as there would be no counterfeit bank-notes if there were no genuine notes in circulation, so there would be no counterfeit Messages from Heaven if there were no genuine ones to imitate. It is up to ourselves to do our best to discern. Let us give to a series of recent Messages coming from backwoods Texas, USA, a hearing. 

The series began with an introductory Message supposedly from Our Lady – let the “supposedly” be taken for granted and not repeated in everything quoted henceforth in these “Eleison Comments” from these Messages. The “Comments” have no authority to guarantee the Texas Messages’ authenticity, but they do take them seriously enough to consider them well worth quoting. Let readers judge on their own. Here for instance are a few extracts from the first Message (last time – supposedly) of Our Lady – 

February 8: Children, the battle looms and you are asleep. I come to awake you; as a good mother who, being vigilant and keeping watch over her children, and seeing the increasing danger, shakes her children so that they may not perish without fighting. Children, these are the times announced from of old, in which the thrice accursed serpent will poison many, and interfere in what is Ours, and will rise to confuse the nations with his puppets, his servants, to destroy all that is of God, and to rule in His place. The Devil’s longing to be adored and his hatred of God have driven him to prepare, over centuries, what is now being unveiled before your eyes . . . 

I have come to you, children, time and time again, year after year, to warn you . . . but how few of you have understood me, and placed yourselves at my disposal for Me to form My army of light . . . . Children, there is no time left. The battle, Our counter-attack, begins with these Words, which We give to you as Light, Protection, Guidance and Consolation. Do not ignore them . . . they will give you the guidance that you need, now that My Church is without a shepherd to tend to My sheep, to My children . . . . They want to destroy you, children . . . receive my Words of love and consolation. 

You are wounded, my little children, some more, some less, but all of you carry wounds – from your own decisions, from the hatred of Satan – and all of you need Our healing, all of you need Our help. My children, I give my Jesus to you again, I give Him to you with all my personal Love . . . as your King . . . your Saviour and Redeemer . . . only Him, children. Only He saves. Only He purifies. Only He heals . . . . Do not be confused. Many voices try, and will try, to pass as His. Many say, and will say that they do everything in His name. But look at their works. Look at the fruits, children. DO NOT IGNORE THEM. 

And I, your Mother, will prepare you to receive the supreme Gift of luminous Faith in the centre of your soul to be able to face the present and coming times, in which everything that seemed to be stable will crumble down . . . . Blessed is he who receives these Words and allows them to bear their fruit . . . 

The complete text is rather longer, and the selected extracts quoted above do not convey Our Lady’s sense of urgency, as though we are on the very brink of the great battle due to break out. The little Catholic centre in Texas receiving these Messages has its own website – look up “Mission of Divine Mercy.” 

Truly, Kyrie eleison.

Catechism of Opportune Truths
Number 47 
(Error) Devotion to the saints and especially to Our Lady easily causes the faithful to deviate from truly Catholic piety, which is, par excellence, "christocentric".
(Truth) Devotion to the saints and particularly to the Blessed Virgin in no way leads the faithful to distance themselves from Jesus Christ. It constitutes, on the contrary, an excellent channel, normal and, as far as concerns the Most Blessed Virgin, necessary for achieving union with Jesus-Christ.
Explanation.
Religious ignorance and certain pagan superstitions lead many people to make saints the object of false piety, an abuse which, moreover, is also practiced with regard to Christ Himself. This is what we sometimes observe in certain regions of our diocese or other parts of Brazil. The risk is not strictly speaking in devotion to the saints, but in religious ignorance and, above all, in the superstitions inherited from pagan ancestors. Devotion to the saints and to Our Lady, such as it exists among the majority of pious people in our cities, presents neither exaggeration nor symptoms giving rise to fears that such abuses could occur. Moreover, according to Saint Thomas (IV Sent. d. 45, q. 3, a. 2), our prayers must ascend to the throne of God by the same channel through which divine benefits descend: just as these have taken as a path the intercession of the saints, it is through devotion to the saints that we must approach God.
On the necessary role of Mary in our sanctification, Saint Pius X wrote: "Therefore all we who are united to Christ, and as the Apostle says are members of His Body, of His flesh, and of His bones  [Ep 5, 30], have issued from the womb of Mary like a body united to its head." And further: "If then the most Blessed Virgin is the Mother at once of God and men, who can doubt that she will work with all diligence to procure that Christ, Head of the Body of the Church [Coloss. 1:18], may transfuse His gifts unto us, His members, and above all that, of knowing Him and living through Him [1 Jn 4: 9] ? Finally: "Mary, as Saint Bernard rightly remarks, is the channel[Sermon for the Nativity of the Virgin [De Aquaductu, nº 4] or, if you will,  the connecting portion the function of which is to join the body to the head and to transmit to the body the influences and volitions of the head – We mean the neck" (Encyclical Ad diem illum, February 2, 1904 1).

Is this St Paul Chapel in Evansville, IN? I'm trying to get Mass times or a contact.
