I was forwarded an email from America Needs Fatima, with the subject line "How to post a billboard in honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus." They have started upon a wonderful way of honoring the Sacred Heart during the month of June!

Quote:Dear [...],

If you are fed up with how the homosexual movement has hijacked the month of June, here’s an effective way to win it back for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Join Catholics in posting Sacred Heart billboards all across the country.

Post a billboard(s) in your area by following these simple steps:

• Choose the location of your billboard.
  
• Call the billboard company and reserve it for the month of June. A static billboard is better than a digital one. (Get a discount when you call Brian Fenn at 321-368-6071 at Clear Channel Outdoor. Mention America Needs Fatima.)
  
• Fundraise among family and church friends. Send a circular email to everyone you know. Ask people to send you a check, and/or start a GoFund me page, or GiveSendGo.
  
• Download and send this artwork to the billboard company.
  
• Expand the number of billboards as God blesses your fundraising efforts with extra funds.
  
• Report back to your donors with billboard results.
  
• Call 888-317-5571 if you need help.
  

This June, our goal is to have 1,000 billboards posted all across America to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus. If you prefer to donate instead of posting your own billboard, please go online www.anf.org/fatima or send a check to America Needs Fatima at Attn: Raymond Drake, PO Box 251, Spring Grove, PA 17362.

Your donation will help America Needs Fatima post more billboards and win back the month of June for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Thank you.

In the Eleison Comments published today [April 20, 2024] entitled Remarkable Messages I, Bp. Williamson continues to elicit astonishment and confusion. 

Here we go again.

After promoting Garabandal (to this day never approved by even the Conciliar Church) and insisting on the belief in various Conciliar Eucharistic 'miracles' we are [shouldn't be?] surprised to find His Excellency promoting another Novus Ordo group, the Mission of Divine Mercy, whose self-proclaimed charism "is the role of prophecy."

And there is no mistaking this group as traditional. On their FAQ page, they answer the question: "DO YOU OFFER THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS? No.  We offer the Novus Ordo  Mass.

Another sign of their firm Novus Ordo adherence is in their description of the Cross on their emblem which they describe as "The Cross of Light:  This signifies the Light of the New Evangelization."

So here we have a group of Novus Ordo religious and laity, named after a condemned devotion (Divine Mercy via Sr. Faustina), functioning as a solely Novus Ordo group - not even a whisper of an indult-esque or traditional orientation, with a self-proclaimed 'charism' of faith via prophecy.

And 'messages' from this group, dear friends, is who a 'traditional' bishop is promoting. Something isn't right here...

And even when reading the 'messages' one is reminded of the usual Novus Ordo style of language. 

But without further ado, Bp. Williamson's Remarkable Messages I:

Quote:ELEISON  COMMENTS  DCCCLXXV  (April 20, 2024) : REMARKABLE  MESSAGES  –  I

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.

The horror coming threatens massive pain,

And that is why She warns, again and again.

Quote:There is an ideal for which true men live, and for which, if need were, they would die. Not to its profit do they look or to any material gain that it can give. Its power over them comes not from pleasure, nor is ambition the secret mainspring of its strength. Without it, wealth has no worth, pleasure no charm, fame no fascination, success no crown. Without it, prosperity crumbles to the value of the dust, and all the finer flowers of human life wither beneath the breath of bitter but just contempt. With it, misfortune may become noble, suffering worshipful, disaster magnificent. It can give to trifles a preciousness greater than gold can buy; it can transform hardship into happiness; and round the worst failure it can throw the glory of a true triumph. For, ideal though it be, it has a strange practical power. It is the one test which inexorably unmasks the liar, the knave, or the animal, amongst men, and which faithfully reveals the true, the good, and the noble. It is honour… It is more than a dutiful obedience to truth and right. Honour is a chivalrous allegiance, an enthusiastic loyalty, a death-daring devotedness, to what in truth is most delicate and to what in right is most refined. A man of honour is a hero of the highest type and of the most sterling worth.

Quote:For [God] will render to every man according to his works:  to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life (2:6-7).

As per their usual, LSN gives an indult-esque commentary but regardless, it is very sad to see more and more Latin Masses being taken away...

Baltimore archbishop says Latin Mass will be suppressed at all parishes, FSSP Mass will continue
Archbishop William Lori announced that a Vatican indult allowing parish Latin Masses will expire in August and that the traditional Mass in his archdiocese will soon be relegated to a single shrine in Baltimore.

ST. JUSTIN MARTYR
DIALOGUE WITH TRYPHO

Chapter 1. Introduction


While I was going about one morning in the walks of the Xystus, a certain man [Trypho], with others in his company, met me.

   Trypho: Hail, O philosopher!

And immediately after saying this, he turned round and walked along with me; his friends likewise followed him.

  Justin: What is there important?

  Trypho: I was instructed by Corinthus the Socratic in Argos, that I ought not to despise or treat with indifference those who array themselves in this dress but to show them all kindness, and to associate with them, as perhaps some advantage would spring from the intercourse either to some such man or to myself. It is good, moreover, for both, if either the one or the other be benefited. On this account, therefore, whenever I see any one in such costume, I gladly approach him, and now, for the same reason, have I willingly accosted you; and these accompany me, in the expectation of hearing for themselves something profitable from you.

  Justin: (In jest.) But who are you, most excellent man?

Then he told me frankly both his name and his family.

  Trypho: Trypho, I am called; and I am a Hebrew of the circumcision, and having escaped from the war lately carried on there I am spending my days in Greece, and chiefly at Corinth.



  Justin: And in what would you be profited by philosophy so much as by your own lawgiver and the prophets?
