Sermon for the Fourth Saturday of Lent: On the Minor Orders of Exorcist and Acolyte, by Bishop Faure.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Dear Reverend Father, Dear Father, Dear Brother, Dearly beloved Faithful:
On this Saturday of the fourth week of Lent, as we are about to confer the second Minor Orders of Exorcist and Acolyte upon our dear brothers, Saint John writes in today’s Gospel that Jesus spoke to the multitude of the Jews, saying: "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life." "If you did know me, you would know my Father also." It is because they do not know the Father that they refuse to recognize the Son. The light of life, the light of the world, is our Lord. It is the Faith.
What you will need, my dear friends, as you ascend the steps leading to the priesthood—especially in this age of universal apostasy—are the virtues of Faith and Fortitude. Saint Peter, the first Pope appointed directly by our Lord Jesus Christ, tells us: "Be strong in faith," for strength is manifested in faith, in the witnessing of the faith.
But why is faith the source of strength? Because faith shows us things in a supernatural way. It is the light of the Holy Ghost that makes us see celestial things—the great realities, the only realities worth having—the faith that allows us to see true realities through the temporal things that surround us.
Following original sin, we are blind. The eyes of our spirit are closed to the true realities. "Fides," Saint Paul tells us, "est argumentum rerum non apparentium." Faith is, in a sense, the vision of things that do not appear to the eyes of our body. And that is why those who have lost the faith think there is nothing beyond the things we see, the apparent things. They do not want to believe in the realities that are not apparent.
The Reality of the Invisible
It is faith that allows us to believe firmly in invisible things. In the Creed, we affirm our belief in God, the Creator of things visible and invisible. What we see is but a small thing—smoke that dissipates, th ings that will quickly disappear, as will our poor bodies. However, reality is in God. He is everything, even in the things we see. If we had the vision of the angels and the elect, then yes, we would see the full influence of the Creator within His creatures.
Faith makes spiritual realities appear to us in their relationship to temporal realities. Furthermore, faith reveals the supernatural realities that God Himself has uncovered for us through His Word, the Only Begotten Son of God, through Revelation. God, therefore, willed to let us penetrate into the Holy Trinity, into His mystery, which could have remained hidden from us for eternity. God has revealed to us—an extraordinary grace—His Holy Trinity, making us His sons.
"I will not now call you servants... but I have called you friends." Henceforth, God treats us as His sons and, consequently, reveals to us the secrets of His paternity—His celestial paternity which will be our joy, our admiration, and our happiness for eternity.
Soldiers of the Faith in a Tragic Age
But beware: noblesse oblige. Let us be attentive to what God expects of each of us at every moment. We must not fear the things of this world, nor the vicissitudes of this tragic era of general apostasy, nor the enemies of God and the Faith. These enemies are primarily the demons who guide these wicked men. Let us have only one fear in the world: offending our Lord by our infidelities.
Confirmation made us soldiers of Christ, soldiers of the Faith. You must be those "arguments of faith" of which Saint Paul speaks, as consecrated persons filled with the Holy Ghost, with the Spirit of God. You will be a source of faith for others through the holiness of your life and your prayer. You will teach the faithful to love God, to better know our Lord Jesus Christ, and to be filled with gratitude for all He has conceived and done for us—even offering His life as a witness to the truth and the faith—and to teach us the necessity of the sacraments and the necessity of sacrifice.
The Order of Exorcist
As an Exorcist, you will have, by the grace of the sacrament, the power to cast out demons. Do the bishops of today—the Conciliar bishops, in their majority—believe that demons exist? They no longer want to speak of the devil, nor of Hell, and sometimes not even of morality. That is why they suppressed this order of Exorcist.
In the exorcisms of Baptism, people are afraid to think of the existence of the devil. And yet, today more than ever, the devil is the prince of this modern world and takes possession of the souls of the young and old alike, even within the Church. The greats of this world are utterly corrupt, as shown by the global corruption network of [Epstein]. Consider also the multiplication of ѕυιcιdєs among the young. Today, the highest viaducts must be surrounded by iron bars to prevent the youth from throwing themselves into the void.
Consequently, this order you are about to receive will be very necessary for you to recite with great efficacy all the exorcisms you will have to read during Baptisms, in making holy water, and in all blessings. For since original sin, the devil is the prince of this world, and he holds, in a sense, all the elements of this world. This is why they must be blessed. This is why the faithful, like the priests, must distance themselves from everything that can put us under the direct influence of the world and the devil: the Internet, mobile phones, all screens. The priest needs to belong entirely to God.
The Order of Acolyte and the Crisis of Idolatry
As for the Acolyte, the acolyte is nothing other than the light of God. Light must extend around him. The devil hates the light, for it is in him that the darkness of this world did not receive the light that came into this world: our Lord Jesus Christ. The world was made by Him, yet under the sway of the devil, the world did not receive Him.
As today, the knowledge of the true God is disappearing. Men are turning toward the cult of nature, of Pachamama. Today, even in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, there has unfortunately been a procession with this idol. Today, for many churchmen, it is a matter of "saving the planet" more than saving souls or saving one's own soul. We have seen [Pope Francis] solemnly bless a block of ice in a basilica against global warming.
When our Lord came to earth, the cult of idols and idolatry reigned in Rome. Only a small minority was ready to receive the Messiah: the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, the aged Simeon, Saint John the Baptist, the Magi from the East, and the shepherds who listened to the choir of angels: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will" who love the truth and await their Savior.
The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart
Their Savior appeared in the humility of a stable because there was no room for them in the inn. Similarly, today, men have forgotten God; they have corrupted their ways in immorality, even within the Church. They no longer love the truth. The world has grown old; charity and the love of God have grown cold. The light of faith and the love of truth are eclipsed. There are no longer saints or doctors who, like Archbishop Lefebvre, recall the faith of ancient days.
Many, even among the Cardinals, priests, and bishops, walk the path of perdition—the path of false ecuмenism, in the name of which they lead a great number of souls astray. They even go so far as to attack the prerogatives of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mediatrix and her Co-redemption, as depicted, for example, on the Miraculous Medal of the Rue du Bac.
This attack on the Most Holy Virgin Mary shows to what extent the Modernist enemies of our Lord and the Church have succeeded in infiltrating the very summit of the hierarchy, so that "Rome may lose the faith," as was announced at La Salette and in Quito, Ecuador, in the 17th century, where the role of Masonry in the programmed general apostasy was already mentioned.
But once again, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. At the hour when all seems lost, at the hour when the Antichrist and the antichrists appear to have triumphed, then will come the hour of the Resurrection. The light of the truth of the Faith will triumph over the darkness and cast the devil into Hell. "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen
