IT IS IN THE APOCALYPSE (REVALATIONS)

Brother Michel de la Sainte Trinite wrote in his work on the Secrets of Fatima that when he interviewed Sister Lucy of Fatima in person and he hinted for answers from her about the future, Sister Lucy exclaimed that what we want to know is in the Bible. To quote Brother Michel's book: "Sister Lucy herself greatly recommends reading, studying, meditating on the Apocalypse. We have seen that when questioned on the contents of the third Secret [of Fatima], she answered: It’s in the Gospel and the Apocalypse, read them! We even know that one day she indicated chapters 8 to 13 ." [The Whole Truth About Fatima, Volume III, The Third Secret (1942-1960), by Brother Michel de la Sainte Trinite of the Little Brothers of the Sacred Heart.]

My feeling is that the "Secrets" promised at MEDJUGORJE are also in the APOCALYPSE somewhere. Would the SEVEN ANGELS be going to deliver the chastisements predicted at Medjugorje? If we take the words of Saint John in Revelations (Apocalypse) literally, it is going to sound very familiar.

 

 

APOCALYPSE: CHAPTER 8

"The seventh seal is opened. The angels with the seven trumpets.

[1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour. [2] And I saw SEVEN ANGELS standing in the presence of God; and there were given to them seven trumpets. [3] And another angel came, and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God. [4] And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.

[5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings, and a great earthquake.

[6] And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound the trumpet.

[7] And the FIRST ANGEL sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast on the earth, and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

[8] And the SECOND ANGEL sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood: [9] And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

[10] And the THIRD ANGEL sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters: [11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

[12] And the FOURTH ANGEL sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not shine for a third part of it, and the night in like manner.

[13] And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth: by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet."

APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 9

"Locusts come forth from the bottomless pit. The vision of the army of horsemen.

[1] And the FIFTH ANGEL sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. [3] And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power: [4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads. [5] And it was given unto them that they should not kill them; but that they should torment them five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. [6] And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them. [7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle: and on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men. [8] And they had hair as the hair of women; and their teeth were as lions: [9] And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle. [10] And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had over them. [11] A king, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon; in Latin Exterminans, [12] One woe is past, and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.

[13] And the SIXTH ANGEL sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the great altar, which is before the eyes of God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels, who are bound in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men. [16] And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them. [17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision: and they that sat on them, had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire, and smoke, and brimstone. [18] And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. [19] For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents, and have heads: and with them they hurt. [20] And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts."

APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 10

"The cry of a mighty angel. He gives John a book to eat.

[1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. [2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth. [3] And he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not. [5] And the angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things which are therein; and the earth, and the things which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer. [7] But in the days of the voice of the SEVENTH ANGEL, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by his servants the prophets [8] And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking to me, and saying: Go, and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea, and upon the earth. [9] And I went to the angel, saying unto him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book, and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. [10] And I took the book from the hand of the angel, and ate it up: and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [11] And he said to me: Thou must prophesy again to many nations, and peoples, and tongues, and kings." 
 

APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 15

"And the SEVENTH ANGEL sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen."

APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 16

"And the SEVENTH ANGEL poured out his vial upon the air, and there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done."

DUPONT'S SUMMARY OF THE EXPECTED CHASTISEMENT

REMAIN IN THE STATE OF GRACE!

PRAY FOR SOULS!

[Yves Dupont's summary is probably the best outline of the expected Chastisement and what to do about it that I've found. Of course, the one message received by all visionaries who were visited by  the Blessed Mother and other heavenly visitors on the subject of the coming Chastisement is CONVERSION ... PRAYER ... PENANCE.  Heaven wants to save souls!  The urgency is now to save as many souls as possible.  The Ultimate Purpose of Yves Dupont's work is to SAVE SOULS.

NOTHING WE DO TO "GET READY" WILL SAVE US IF WE ARE NOT "READY" SPIRITUALLY ON THAT DAY.  

On page 37 of his pamphlet, "The Prophecies of La Fraudais, Part III" which I transcribed for you, Dupont goes on to give an outline of the Chastisement as he expected it to happen some day. Remember that he died in 1979, so he did not know about Medjugorje. Jeanne]

A Summary of a future Chastisement by Yves Dupont

APPENDIX I

Act of God, the Warning, & the Miracle

The most spectacular aspect of the Act of God will be the three days of darkness over the whole earth. The Three Days have been announced by many mystics, viz., Anna-Maria Taigi, Padre Pio [Padre Pio said that he did not announce the Three Days of Darkness, but I put it here in order to be faithful to Dupont's text. We do not really need Saint Pio's testimony, anyway. There are so many other prophecies about it. Jeanne], Elizabeth Canori-More, Rosa-Colomba Asdente, Palma d’Oria, in Italy; Father Nectou, in Belgium; St. Hildegard, in Germany; Pere Lamy, Marie Baourdi, Marie Martel, Marie-Julie Jahenny, in France. (This list is not exhaustive; many more mystics have announced the Three Days.)

The Church does not oblige us to believe in any particular prophecy as a matter of faith, but we are indeed obliged to believe that prophecies may be made even in our own times, for this is in the Gospel: the Holy Ghost will speak to many in the Latter Days.

Moreover, when an identical prophecy has been made by widely separated people in time and space, when this particular prophecy was accompanied by other predictions which have already come to pass, and when the holiness of the mystics in question has been recognised by the Church, we would be foolish indeed not to believe that the prophecy must come to pass. Such is the case concerning the Three Days of Darkness. How else could we explain that an illiterate peasant woman of Brittany is describing the very thing that another mystic in, say Germany or Italy is also describing?

THE PROXIMATE SIGNS

Here are the proximate signs in their probable order of occurrence. This, to be sure, is only my own opinion, and I may be wrong for I am no prophet myself; but, after studying a large number of prophecies, this order appears to me to be the most likely.

1. Flouting of church laws, irreverence and immodesty in church, fall in attendance at church.

2. Lack of charity towards other, heartlessness, indifference, divisions, contentions, godlessness, pride in human knowledge.

3. Breakdown of family life: immorality, adultery, perversion of youth (e.g. homosexuals giving lectures in schools), immodest fashions (e.g. mini-skirts and hot pants, bikinis and see-throughs), people concerned only with eating, drinking, dancing and other pleasures.

4. Civil commotions, contempt for authority, downfall of governments, confusion in high places, corruption, coups d’etat, civil war, revolution.

(The first four proximate signs have already come to pass, at least partly; for we are yet to see civil war and revolution in the West. But the sequence of events is not strictly chronological; there is room for some overlapping. Thus, the 5^th proximate sign seems to have begun also.)

5. Floods and droughts, crop failures, unusual weather, tornadoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, famines, epidemics, unknown diseases (e.g. new strains of viruses.)

THE WARNING AND THE MIRACLE

These will take place between proximate and the immediate signs. Both will be supernatural occurrences, and the Miracle will closely follow the Warning. There will be a solar prodigy; a Cross will be visible in the sky all over the world. The Warning will be associated with the letter “A”; it will not fall on a Feast day of Our Lady, nor on the 18^th of the month.

The Miracle will fall on the Feast day of a young martyr of the Eucharist; this will be on a Thursday evening, and it will coincide with an important Church event.

Since the Miracle is to be seen only in Northern Spain and in Rome, and since the Cross in the sky is to be seen everywhere, it seems that the latter occurrence will take place with the Warning, not with the Miracle. However, the Miracle may also have a Cross in the sky.

During the Warning, everyone will be made aware of his/her own sinfulness, and many will wish to die, but the Warning itself will be completely harmless.

Both the Warning and the Miracle must be viewed as the last act of mercy from God, a final appeal to mankind to do penance before the three days of darkness and the destruction of three-quarters of the human race. At a time when the murder of unborn babies and the sin of Sodom and Lesbos have become respectable and, sometimes, legal, we should not wonder why God is going to punish mankind.

By that time, war and revolution will have already caused a high death toll, and communism will be victorious, but all this will be as nothing compared with the death toll caused by the Three Days.

THE IMMEDIATE SIGN

It will be a bitterly cold winter night in the Northern hemisphere. (Presumably, a very cold summer night in Australia or, by contrast, a torrid night.) The wind will howl and roar. Lightning and thunderbolts of an unprecedented magnitude will strike the earth. The whole earth will shake, heavenly bodies will be disturbed – (this will be the beginning of the Three Days). Every Demon, every evil spirit will be released from hell and allowed to roam the earth. Terrifying apparitions will take place. Many will die from sheer fright. Fire will rain forth from the sky, all large cities will be destroyed, poisonous gases will fill the air, cries and lamentations everywhere. The unbelievers will burn in the open like withered grass. The entire earth will be afflicted; it will look like a huge graveyard.

As soon as you notice that bitterly cold night, go indoors, lock all the doors and windows, pull down the blinds, stick adhesive paper on vents and around windows and doors. Do not answer calls from outside, do not look at (out?) the windows, or you will die on the spot: keep your eyes down to make sure you do not see the windows; the Wrath of God is mighty and no one should attempt to behold it. Light blessed wax candles; nothing else will burn, but the candles will not be extinguished once lit. Nothing will put them out in the houses of the faithful, but they will not burn in the houses of the godless. Sprinkle holy water about and windows: the devils fear holy water. Bless yourself with it and anoint your five senses with it: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, feet, and forehead. Keep on hand a sufficient supply of drinking water and, if possible, food also (but you can live without food for three days.) Kneel down and pray incessantly with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the floor. Make acts of contrition, faith, hope and charity. Above all, say the Rosary and meditate on the sorrowful mysteries.

Some people, especially children, will be taken up to Heaven beforehand to spare them the horror of these days. People caught outdoors will die instantly. Three-quarters of the human race will be exterminated, - more men than women. No one will escape the terror of these days.

But, when all seems lost and hopeless, then, in the twinkling of an eye, the ordeal will be over: the sun will rise and shine again as in springtime over a purified earth.

Some nations will disappear entirely, and the face of the earth will be changed. There will be no more “Big Business” and huge factories which sap men’s souls. Craftmanship will revive, and assembly lines will give way to the working bench.

People will return to the land, but food will be scarce for about three years. Married women will bear many children, for it will be regarded as a disgrace not to have children, - no more “career women”addicted to the “pill.” Unmarried females, - there will be many, will enter the religious orders and form large congregations of Nuns within the reborn Church. Disease will decrease dramatically, and mental illnesses will be rare, for man will have retrieved his natural environment. It will be an age of faith, true brotherhood between neighbours, civil harmony, peace, and prosperity. The land will yield crops as never before. Police will have little work to do: crime will disappear almost entirely. Mutual trust and honesty will be universal. There will be little work for lawyers, either. All the manpower which is currently taken up by the wickedness of the modern world will be released and available for the production of useful commodities. Thus, prosperity will be very great. This wonderful period will probably last 30 years approximately.

As soon as you see the sun rise again at the end of the Three Days, drop to your knees and give thanks to God.


WHAT TO DO NOW

Be warned, SPREAD THE MESSAGE, but do not fear: it would be an offence to God to show lack of confidence in His protection. Those who spread the message will be protected, but the scoffers, the skeptics, and those who dismiss the message because they are frightened, will not escape the chastisement.

Remain in the state of grace!
Pray for Souls

SPREAD THE MESSAGE; do not be put out by those who laugh it off or think you are a bit queer. This is the price we have to pay, for no disciple of Christ can escape scorn or even persecution. Remain in the state of grace. Go to Mass, and regularly receive Holy Communion. Say your Rosary every day. Obtain some wax candles and have these blessed by a Traditionalist priest. Do not buy ordinary white candles, they are not made of wax. Do not trust either a “new-breed” priest to bless your candles. Pray for the Church and for the Pope in particular; it is not for us to judge the Pope, no matter what he does or says, - this is God’s prerogative, but we must pray for him. Say the prayer to St. Michael which Leo XIII composed after witnessing a terrifying vision of Satan’s power. Wear the Brown Scapular and the miraculous medal. Deny yourself some legitimate pleasures and entertainment; many seers insist on this. Eat sparingly, frugally, to sustain life more than to gratify the palate. When the proximate signs are over, i.e. war and revolution culminating in the victory of Communism, when you behold the Warning, then store up food, drinking water, blankets and other necessities.

APPENDIX II

A Puzzling Question

When I speak of the “Act of God” I always mean the Three Days of Darkness which will cause Communism to collapse and which will purify the earth. But, in fact, there will be three separate Acts of God, namely, the Warning, the Miracle and the Three Days. [The Warning and the Miracle are part of the Medjugorje Secrets and were also announced at Garabandal. Jeanne]

How does the battle of the Birch-Tree plain which the Great Monarch will wage against Russian troops fit into all this?

I must confess that I am not cerain at all whether the Birch-Tree battle will take place after the Warning or after the Three Days.

On the onehand, it does not seem that a battle could be waged after the Three Days, nor would it be necessary, since all the wicked will have perished.

On the other hand, if the battle takes place after the Warning, it would seem to indicate that the Great Monarch’s victory will not be decisive enough to eradicate Communism everywhere and that the Three Days will be necessary to achieve this.

Perhaps, then, the Great Monarch’s victory will have the only effect of saving France from a Russian invasion, but Communism itself will collapse only as a result of the Three Days with will come a little later.

However, a further objection arises: some prophets tell us that the Great Monarch will “uproot all Republics” and that he will wage war in the Middle East against the Mohammedans. How could he achieve this between the Warning and the Three Days? Or will this take place after the Three Days? But we have just seen that no wicked will be alive after the Three Days! Moreover, the earth will be utterly devastated, - no roads, no ships, no petrol, no fuel of any sort will be available. No war can be waged in such circumstances.

(Incidentally, the shortage of petrol is likely to be felt long before the Three Days: when the Mohammedans invade Europe, they will first cut off all oil supplies. This is not in the prophecies, but it is reasonable to assume that they will do so. It also tallies with the predictions which say that the Great Monarch will mount a “white horse”; in the circumstances prevailing today, we would expect him to ride in a tank. But if there is no petrol available, the old-fashioned horse is the only possible alternative.)

Perhaps it is only after the Three Days that he will “uproot all Republics,” for the good people who have survived the Three Days may still need human guidance in order not to fall back into the deadly errors of Republicanism and Democracy.

This appears to me to be the most plausible interpretation of the prophecies concerning this particular episode but, as I have said, it cannot be regarded as certain.

These prophecies were compiled by Yves Dupont as excerpts from three French books :

1.“Le Ciel en Colloque avec Marie-Julie Jahenny” (December 1973)

2.“Marie-Julie Jahenny, la Stigmatisée de Blain” (September 1974)

3.“Les Prophéties de La Fraudais” (November 1974)

The prophecies were originally compiled by Fr. P. Roberdel from notes kept by various persons attending the ecstasies of Marie-Julie of Fraudais. The three books are available from: Editions Résiac, B.P.6, 53150, Montsurs, FRANCE.



THE SUMMARY FROM DUPONT'S BOOK,

CATHOLIC PROPHECY :  THE COMING CHASTISEMENT 

by Ives Dupont

(Quoted from) 

Back Cover 

St. Columba (6th century). "Hearken, hearken to what will happen in the latter days of the world!  There will be great wars; unjust laws will be enacted; the Church will be despoiled of her property; people will read and write a great deal; but charity and humility will be laughed to scorn, and the common people will believe in false ideas."

St. Methodius. "A day will come when the enemies of Christ will boast of having conquered the whole world. They will say: 'Christians cannot escape now!' But a Great King will arise to fight the enemies of God. He will defeat them, and peace will be given to the world, and the Church will be freed from her anxieties."

Frontpiece Summary

General Events:

• Not a two-camp war, but a multi-sided war.

• Not a war only, but a world-wide revolution as well.

• Not simply a man-made holocaust, but also a God-sent chastisement, accompanied by cosmic disturbances.

• To last about four years.

Particular Events:

The whole world will be involved in the fighting. A unique feature is the internal disintegration of the Western democracies and the invasion of Western Europe by Arab forces. 

The roles of the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. are not clear in the beginning. The U.S.A. may be involved in the Far-East or at home or both. The U.S.S.R. may want to keep out of the fray at first, while abetting the Arab world, or may be involved in Siberia. 

Civil wars rage in Western Europe. The Church is persecuted; the Pope leaves Rome and dies in exile; an anti-pope is installed in Rome; the Catholic Church is split, leaderless and completely disorganized. Communism is victorious. The Mo- 
hammedans invade Europe and commit innumerable atrocities. 

In the West, however, Christians rally around an unexpected leader, an army officer of royal blood, but their chances seem very slim. 

The natural disturbances begin: floods, droughts, famines. 

A comet approaches the earth: Whole mountains split open; huge tidal waves swallow up low-lying lands; stones fall from the sky; a deadly fog or gas poisons the atmosphere; a prolonged darkness envelops the earth. Two-thirds or three-fourths of the human race is wiped out. 

The powers of evil are shattered. The Christian Prince leads his growing army to battle and wins victory upon victory. In West Germany he crushes a Germano-Russian Army. Communism collapses everywhere. The Mohammedans are thrown back to the sea. The war is carried to Africa and the Middle East, where the Arab Power is dealt a deadly blow. At this stage, if not earlier, U.S. troops come to the assistance of Western Europe. 

Russia and China are converted to Catholicism, as also the Mohammedans. All non-Catholics return to Mother Church. A holy Pope is elected; he shows great firmness; and he restores all the former disciplines in the Church. 

All the nations of Western Europe unite and form a new Roman Empire, and accept as their emperor the great Christian Prince, chosen by God, who works hand-in-hand with the holy Pope. The triumph of the Catholic Church is universal. 

The whole world enjoys a period of complete peace and unprecedented prosperity in mutual love and respect among people and nations. 

This great peace will last until the coming of the Anti-Christ.

"And they did not understand

Until the flood came and

Swept them all away." (Matt. 24:39)

"This great peace will last 

until the coming of Antichrist."

"...unprecedented prosperity in mutual love
and respect among people and nations."

AFIRE THROUGH PRAYER

Set the Earth on Fire
by Catherine De Hueck Doherty 

The only way to approach faith is on our knees, through prayer. We should not only kneel but be prostrate before him, falling on our faces, imploring, crying, out for growth in faith, so that we may believe ever more firmly, not only in God but also in one another--we who are fashioned in God's image.

Yes, we can reach God very simply when we prostrate ourselves before him. When I come before God like this I am transformed. And I need to be transformed.

Here I am, an arrogant and proud human being, capable of walking on the moon, of making fantastic instruments that send us pictures of other planets. In my arrogance and pride I am once again polishing the apple to eat, so to speak, to prove I am equal to God.

Suddenly, I realize my works are but nothing. God is God, and I am not. I am his creatures, the poor man of the Lord, the poor man of the Beatitudes. I realize that he really meant what he said: "Without me you can do nothing." (Jn. 15:5)

Prostration is humility. It's an acknowledgement of who I am, and who he is. A "prostrated Church" is a Church of what I call the humiliati: the poor, the forgotten, the lonely...

We shall reach God as he reached us, by covering our brokenness with his Incarnation. By incarnating himself, he has made us divine. We partake of this Incarnation through prayer and through the deep silence of the prostrated Church. It is not the silence of passivity, but the silence of fire and flame that possesses any person who approaches the invisible. [Servant of God Catherine De Hueck Doherty (d. 1985) was born in Russia and was the foundress of Madonna House in Combermere, Canada.]

"PRAY FOR YOUR SHEPHERDS!"

Holy Thursday,  Special Day for Priests

"Pray for your Shepherds!"

Holy Thursday,  A Day for Priests

On this day, a special Mass is celebrated, all the priests of a diocese in one place.  By coming and enjoying this liturgy together they may grow in their bond with each other and their bishop, and of course, with Our Lord.

Our Lord and Our Lady know how hard it is to be a Holy Priest and have exhorted their followers to pray for priests.  Today, could we revive our undertaking to pray for priests regularly?

The following prayer was published by Father Peter John Cameron, O.P. in the current issue of Magnificat.  I think it is appropriate every day of the year!  Jeanne

Prayer for Priests

Divine Savior Jesus Christ, who has entrusted the whole work of your redemption, the welfare and salvation of the world, to priests as your representatives, through the hands of your most holy Mother and for the sanctification of your priests and candidates for the priesthood, I offer you this present day wholly and entirely, with all its prayers, works, joys, sacrifices, and sorrows. Give us truly holy priests who, inflamed with the fire of your divine love, seek, nothing but your greater glory and the salvation of our souls.

And you, Mary, good Mother of priests, protect all priests in the dangers of their holy vocation and, with the loving hand of a Mother, also lead back to the Good Shepherd those poor priests who have become unfaithful to their exalted vocation and have gone astray. Amen.

Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring, Soar to uncreated light.

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned, With the fire of life impassioned,

Striving still to truth unknown, Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding, Hark, what peaceful music rings,

Where the flock in Thee confiding, Drink of joy from deathless springs.

Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure, Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.

Thou dost ever lead Thine own, In the love of joys unknown. 



Pray for Priests

Love, Jeanne
