Powerful Devotions of Salvation

Let us remember the First Friday and First Saturday of the month. Let us take part in the devotions in order to reap the tremendous fruit and graces promised by Our Lord and Our Lady. In order to receive the benefit and guarantee of eternal salvation, we need to do the following:
   
    1) Confess our sins at least 8 days before or after the First Friday and Saturday

    2) Receive Holy Communion with the intention of reparating the sins committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (it is not necessary to participate in the Mass, though it is recommendable)

    3) To keep Our Lady company for 15 minutes by praying the rosary and meditating on its mysteries.

Why did Our Lady ask for 5 first Saturdays of each month? To reparate 5 types of offenses and blasphemies against her Immaculate Heart:

    1) blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception

    2) blasphemies against her Perpetual Virginity

    3) Blasphemies against her Divine Maternity, refusing, at the same time, to receive her as the mother of all men

    4) the sins of those who publicly seek to infuse indifference, scorn and hate against Mary in the hearts of children

    5) the sins of those who directly violate her sacred images

Those who complete this devotion are promised by her the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of their death.

There are some people who have theological problems with the devotion of the First Saturdays. They ask: how is it possible for Mary to promise salvation to someone? I answer with the following: How is that in history, there have been religious writers who were so bold as to declare that God literally chose and sent people either to hell or heaven? Who are they to "guarantee" and "confirm" someone's eternal destiny? if they can make such a statement, then, it is no problem for Mary to save someone from hell. After all, she has in her hands all of God's graces. An extremely rich banker is not worried about the sort of loans he can make out. He possesses the wealth necessary for this. Mary has, at her disposal, all the graces she needs to bring someone to heaven. She can set the conditions that she pleases.

Others will say that this way of doing things is simply too easy. Remember the lesson of Naaman the Syrian? He did not want to wash in the Jordan to cure his leprosy because he wanted something more complicated to do. His servant begged him to accept God's offer, knowing that God is very simple in what He does. Now, why should we complicate something that God has simplified, just to prove to ourselves that it has some value to it? Are we trying to say that we can do it better than God Himself? Further, the devotion of the five first Saturdays is not as easy as it seems. To try to get someone to be in the state of grace requires a strong will and heart. Not many are willing to do so. Another objection is that those who will do the first Saturdays will fall back into sin. It might occur, but God will permit them to suffer greatly during their lives in order to receive the necessary purification to prepare them for salvation.

A Minor Problem?

Would the Principal of Cypress Lake Middle School allow Michelle Heinkle to pass out leaflets that remind her friends of the heroic courage of those firemen who gave their lives to save others during the 9/11 attack? I think that many people would have no qualms about that; on the contrary, they would probably even encourage and praise her for the idea.

Now I ask: "why so much vehemence, hatred, aggressiveness, criticism and spiteful attitudes towards this poor little girl who simply wants to warn and inform others about the ugly and degrading reality of baby murder? Does the issue of abortion continue to haunt, sting and prick the conscience of the pro-choice blood hounds?"

What if the school was going to catch on fire or someone called to make a bomb threat? Would Michelle (aware of this) be prohibited to warn everyone of the danger, just to respect the "right" of those who are not in favor of protecting lives (like the arsonist who will set the school on fire) and who has, in this case, the freedom to exercise his pro-choice convictions to destroy others?

Now, would the principal say to her: "Michelle, I am sorry, but you are only allowed to speak of this bomb threat in your own home or backyard! Why, you would upset and scare the children if you were to tell them that someone was trying to burn or blow them up! That would be very disturbing and distracting to their studies. Please leave them alone, it is against school policies to warn someone about bombs, fires and baby-killing! Don't you know what sort of commotion you might start in the school? Soon, you will have a trail of others wanting to complain, too, about cockroaches, mosquitoes or the professor's bad breath in the classes! Can't you see, Michelle, that your desire to spread anti-abortion pamphlets in the school, is simply going to upset and annoy our repressed, senseless, pointless, stupid and meaningless social order? Why, my dear girl, can't you understand that our educational system is designed and programmed to raise ignorant, foolish jack-asses who are, in no way, allowed to think nor reflect upon the world's woes and misfortunes, but must blindly and stubbornly maintain and sustain a lost, financially obsessed, overly saturated materialistic and hedonistic society? You see, Michelle, if you think that an American school is the place to acquire and develop moral and human values, then you are wrong. "Education" is not the proper or the correct word for this institution (we are not leading anyone anywhere). "Molducation" would better express what we do. In this school, we "mold" you into a thoughtless human robot (like a computer) that is simply programmed with information and processed to receive without being allowed to return anything back. Now who are you to dare challenge the system?

The only group that is allowed freedom of action on these grounds is Planned Parenthood. They are the only ones with the right to impose their views of sex molducation on others. NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED! Now, either swallow the system or else get out! Do you somehow get the idea that you live in a democracy? Don't you know that you live in the 21st century of technological progress and judicial dictatorship, and that democracy died on January 22, 1973? Boy, are you behind the times!"

Now maybe one of Michelle's friends might retort in this way to the Principal:

"If there is anyone that is not with it, it is you. Don't you follow the Court decisions? You are the one who is out of orbit. Don't you realize that we minors, now have more rights than you do (thanks to the type of "formation", or should I say, "deformation", that we received in your training camp)? I can have an abortion any time I want, and you nor  my parents can even stick your nose into my business. It is now my personal affair and no one can stop me. I don't have to tell anyone about it. Now if I can kill a baby without notifying my parents or requiring their permission, why should Michelle, too need yours to do what she wants with her pamphlets?"

The Judgment of Future Generations

There was an interesting article written by Dave Gymburch that appeared in the Rome Daily Sentinel to honor and remember the Black Heritage Month.  He pointed out the homes and mentioned the people that had hidden the runaway slaves coming up from the South.

I can imagine Rome, NY in the year 3000. The USA itself will probably be a remnant of a once great country that is reduced to a small nation like the once famous Roman, Spanish, French, British, Turkish and Austrian empires that fell due to moral decay and stagnation. Similar to the world tourists that now visit the ruins of the Roman Forum and Coliseum or the now extinct concentration camps of Germany, Central New York will have people coming from all over the globe to see the now shut down abortion mills (made into monuments in homage of the dead babies) where the American crime organization called Planned Parenthood had executed and exterminated millions of unborn New Yorkers by cutting them to pieces, ripping them apart and burning them alive in their mothers wombs. The future tourists will be shocked to know that such horrible things could have been done to weak and innocent human beings in those past decades.

   In Rome, the future tourists from Cambodia, Peru, Chile, China, Nigeria, India, etc would visit the preserved historical homes of Bea Wall, John Arena, Roger Bartholomew, John Martoccia, Joe Bosco and many other courageous Roman heroes who had heroically defended the life of the unborn in an area where great indifference and coldness on the part of many towards the unborn reigned. The visitors from other nations will frown upon the cowardice of the local newspapers, radios, TV channels who, in those dramatic times, simply closed their eyes and ignored the question of human life and did absolutely nothing in its favor. They would be even more shocked and dismayed to know that historically, the local clergy of all the represented Faiths of the region and the politicians of all levels, did not as much as lift a finger to attempt to save the lives of the unborn. History will judge us all harshly and give a strict verdict as to our role for not coming to the defense of the least of our brothers in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Moral Preventive Warfare

                                                 (A Message to All Pro-Lifers)

Dear Friends of the Unborn,

As many of you know, President Barak Obama, in an animated speech given to Planned Parenthood, said that the group should get off their defensive position in regards to abortion and to start doing some very strong counter-attacking against the pro-life movement. He proposed to help them and vowed to introduce the “Freedom of Choice Act” which would settle the abortion question once and for all. Since we have all been insulted by this arrogant Ivy poison leaf graduate, I believe that it is time for us to begin a moral preventive warfare.

We are to get to all the Senators and Federal representatives before he does. There are basically four types of politicians on Capitol Hill, independent of their party standing:

a)     The first are those who have a Faith in God and belong to a particular religious congregation. We should all write to them and show how abortion is fundamentally inconsistent with religious practices and the following of God’s laws. We should have their pastors enter in contact with them and pressure them to be authentic in the following of their Faith by rejecting abortion in all its forms. The Catholic hierarchy is to come into contact with Catholic politicians and firmly enlighten them on the question of abortion and the inconsistency of supporting abortion as followers of the Church. 

b)    The second group is those who are married and have small children of their own. We should write to these and show them how abortion affects all children, family values and the foundation of society. We should have them reflect on the fact that abortion is murdering someone else’s child and if they could really accept that in their conscience.

c)     The third group is those who have a sense of moral and human values and human dignity. We must reinforce their moral position and show them the horrors of abortion and how it is so opposed to all the values we hold dear in life and threatening to undermine all of society.

d)    The fourth are those who do not give a hoot at all for human life and simply are there to defend the interests and high profits of financial organizations of the abortion industry. To these must be shown the disasters they are bringing on the nation by their attitudes and decisions. Those who are Catholics and have this mentality should be excommunicated in order to shake them into their senses in regards to baby killing.

The pro-life organizations of each State should contact their Federal political representatives and invite them to their meetings, talks, dialogues and lectures. They should enlighten and strengthen them on the question of human life and abortion. Obama, as senator, was invited to a Planned Parenthood meeting. Did any pro-life organization invite him to their meeting? Once all the pro-life groups have come in contact with their political representatives, they should gather their material together on a national level and see with how many they can really count with. If they gained a majority, then we can breathe easy because Obama will not be able to get the proposal through. It is time for Jesus to spit into the toilet these lukewarm souls that serve no purpose society or the Church.

USA: A Privileged Nation

Compared to the Third World Nations around the Globe, the USA is, despite all its economic drawbacks and complaints, still in a very high privileged material position. In Third World countries, inadequate sanitation is the cause of frequent plagues and diseases that lead to thousands of deaths. Our sanitation system is fairly good and the water we utilize is generally safe for our health. Even though supermarket prices may go up, we never lack food and are even notorious, on the average, for over-eating. African nations do not have the luxury of abundant food at their convenience.  The southern part of Brazil is comparable to the USA in regard to the consumption of food, but in the central and northern part of the country people only have one meal a day. Clothes are not lacking in Brazil, but their quality is inferior to those of the USA. Shirts, pants, socks, underwear, etc from America last forever, but Latin American garments crumble into pieces after a few weeks of use.

Many Americans complain that they cannot afford health insurance, but Third World countries don’t even have doctors, nurses or hospitals. That which is called a “hospital” In Latin America is more comparable to an open meat market than anything else. If you are lucky enough to have a doctor examine you after a few months of waiting in a line of hundreds of patients, you still have to wait another few years to have your surgery done. This is the “Medicaid” program of Latin America. Young people in the USA gripe about the fact that college costs are extremely high. 70% of young people in Brazil do not even finish junior high school. They remain on the streets unemployed and get themselves involved in drugs and crime. Latin American society provides them with no educational opportunities or prospective future at all.

Many Americans complain about unemployment. This is misleading, however. Unemployment could mean a lack of a job or a lack of a job status. Jobs are abundant in the USA, but job statuses are limited. When an American whines about the fact that he is unemployed he is really saying that he did not find work that pays 15,000 dollars a month instead of 3,000 dollars a month. That is the psychological “crisis” that he is going through. What if he were to come to a third world country and sweat his brow all day long just to earn 250 dollars a month? Maybe after that he might even appreciate just earning a thousand dollars a month.

Many Americans lost their homes, either through California fires or mortgage swindles. Even so, such homes were real mansions in the price range of 200,000 to almost a million dollar value. People in the third world do not even have homes, but sleep in the sidewalks, under bridges or cardboard houses. A whole lifetime of work will never buy them a home. They will never be able to buy a vehicle, but will depend on the bus and subway system during their entire lives. With a five dollar phone card, an American can speak with the rest of the world for a period of two hours and within the USA for time unlimited at certain periods of the day or week. In Brazil, to call someone in a city 15 miles away for a period of ten minutes costs over 50 dollars. An American can drive his car from New York City to Buffalo, NY and pay about 12 dollars in toll. To go a distance comparable from New York City to Syracuse, NY in Brazil costs 60 dollars. In America, one can tranquilly enter stores, shops, restaurants, parks, etc. with no fear of being robbed or assaulted. In Latin America, one cannot even stand at a bus terminal without having a gun pointed to his head.

After all this, do we still have reason to complain? Is it that we are truly a spoiled nation? Is our problem economic or is it really a psychologically emotional one? What is the cause of our deep dissatisfaction? Do we lack love and affection in our lives and therefore try to fill this abyss with material goods that could never be the solution of such a complex suffering in our heart? One thing for sure, the illusion of thinking that another empty soul like Obama will fill this hole in America is pure foolhardiness.

Heavy Artillery over Brazil

Obama will go down in history as one of the most cynical, slyest, sneakiest, low down, shameless and cold blooded murderer of all world leaders. He is extremely ambitious and wastes not a second in attempting to put the globe under his grasping toes. Brazil for Obama is a big prize and he just can’t wait to see it succumb to his murderous baby butchering plans. His overseas money is hard at work in this country and he is shelling us with heavy artillery.

It is four o’clock in the morning for me and I cannot sleep thinking about the actions of this madman and maniac. On May 12, 2009, the Brazilian Congress approved of a law obligating the health insurance companies of Brazil to pay for free sterilization, oral contraceptives, condoms and IUDs to their contributing members. All this was done in the name of family planning and health!! The above mentioned are nothing more than female mutilations and chemical abortions within her womb. These are things that violate the Brazilian Constitution and her laws that defend human life. On May 13, 2009, the minister of health (who attempted to legalize abortion nine times and failed) put together an abortion video that he distributed freely to the thousands of schools around the country. It is nothing more than a lying propaganda of baby murder taken from the false testimony of 13 women. The minister of health is abusing his authority since his responsibility is to concern himself with the general health of the nation and not to piece together videos promoting abortions. This too, is a violation of the Constitution and the laws of the nation that guarantee the life of the unborn. All of these and future activities are financed with American blood money.

 Hillary Clinton’s visit to Brazil was to convince the political leaders and the people of the country to accept abortion. Obama also uses his clever ways to do this. He smiles his stupid and hypocritical smile and talks his rhetoric about how the blacks in Brazil contributed to her greatness and culture and how he is a part of this too. Then he  gets into women’s reproductive rights and says that the survival of democracy is based on such things, etc. etc. etc. He does everything possible to change the law.  In the meantime, what are the Brazilian bishops doing about the situation? Absolutely nothing!! They have been lulled to sleep. While the devil robs their sheep by the thousands, they spend their time planning pilgrimages to sanctuaries and being completely oblivious to the real dangers that face the country. They are not even aware of the fact that they are caught with their pants down and that abortion will creep into Brazil through the back door. Instead of vigorously reacting to all that is happening and being vigilantly on guard against the activities of the evil one, they are way out into left field.

I do not receive millions of dollars like the Socialist Party in Brazil did from Obama to promote abortion. I only make 350 dollars a month from the parish I work at. I spend 200 dollars of this money on pro-life activities, making anti-abortion videos and distributing them freely to pastors and people of influence in society. That is all I can do financially in regards to the defense of life. I am only a grain of sand on an endless beach. If Brazil is chastised for her wickedness in regards to the injustice towards the unborn by a wrathful God, I am will make sure that I am not around to see the fireworks. I will retire to some lonely spot in the interior of the country and attempt to save my life from the punishment. I have no part in the blood of this nation and I will seek refuge away from all the confusion and destruction that will certainly come.
