WHY AN 'HOUR OF GRACE' WITH A HAKA?

Today faithful Catholics throughout the world kept an 'Hour of  Grace' to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with an uninterrupted hour of prayer. 

"My wish," Our Lady told Blessed Maria Pierina in 1947, "is that every year on the 8th of December, at noon, an Hour of Grace will be installed. Many spiritual graces and physical blessings will be received by those who pray, undisturbed, during this hour.”https://bookofheaven.com/prayers/december-8-hour-of-grace/ 

Sister Pierina, who was requested by Our Lady in many visions to promote the Hour of Grace and devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, was beatified on Sunday, May 30, 2010.https://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2011/10/maria-pierina-de-micheli-holy-face-of.html

In a certain church in the Diocese of Palmerston North a reader of this blog prayed the "undisturbed" Hour of Grace in company with Catholic school children performing an enthusiastic, very loud haka, a shouty teacher and the parish priest - who all exited past the tabernacle (some children running) without genuflecting.

It was a rehearsal for the school prize-giving and included a "blessing" which included no reference to God or Jesus Christ, only to a "star". Above the children assembled in the sanctuary of the church was a large star, put up every Advent to advance towards the crib, once its installed, and arrive on Christmas Eve. This version of the star of Bethlehem is a pentagram, a symbol of the occult, ceremonial magic and freemasonry.

Our reader wondered whether it was a good idea to begin the Hour in the way Our Lady asked while the children were performing a haka. Our Lady requested that Psalm 51 (in the Douay Bible Ps 50) be prayed  kneeling with arms outstretched cross-wise three times. Thinking that could be a bit distracting for the children and even cause giggles, our reader put it off and just prayed the Rosary till after they'd gone.

On the way home memories of nuns who once taught at this school surfaced, and our reader tried to imagine any of them shouting. Ever. Or children, teachers or PPs ever leaving the church without genuflecting to the tabernacle. Or putting a masonic symbol of the occult up in the sanctuary. Nup. Nyet. Never.

So why the change in behaviour? Surely no one in that church this morning could have believed that Our Lord and Saviour, our Redeemer and our Judge, is truly Present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. in the tabernacle. That's basically the reason why so many behave as they do now, in church. 

Like the gentleman at a Requiem two days ago who loudly shared details of his recent op, even the length of the scar on his tummy while standing in the centre aisle, when Our Eucharistic Lord was possibly still present within him and certainly while one Massgoer was still making thanksgiving. 

Catholics have lost the faith and the basic reason for that is the New Mass (Novus Ordo), especially Communion in the hand.

Antipope Francis/Bergoglio is expending all his energies in persecuting faithful Catholics by his motu proprio Traditionis Custodes suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass, and aggravating the haemorrhage of faith from Novus Ordo Massgoers which turns them into once-were-Catholics. 

If you don't believe that, please read this Intervention which John-Henry Westen of LifeSiteNews delivered at the recent hugely successful Catholic Identity Conference in the US:

This short litany of Francis is why I believe faithful Catholics have a duty before God to resist the attempt to undermine defined dogma on the moral questions.

From the very first moment of this pontificate there was scandal.

 

On the right +Daneels, now enjoying his eternal reward (pray for him)

On the balcony with Pope Francis, with that tiny number of the College of Cardinals selected by the new pope to accompany him onto the balcony at his proclamation, was none other than Cardinal Danneels—the cardinal known to be dissident on abortion, having encouraged the king of Belgium to sign a pro-abortion law. He supported gay marriage and wore the rainbow stole, and, if that isn’t bad enough, he is the only cardinal caught on tape encouraging a victim of pedophilic incestuous sexual abuse not to report the abuse to authorities.

On day three the Pope praised the heretic Cardinal Walter Kasper for doing theology on the knees.

He banished Cardinals Burke, Sarah and Mueller. He banished the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, the order of priests who were responsible for offering more traditional Latin masses than any other order apart from the Fraternity of St. Peter.

He publicly praised Italy’s leading abortionist Emma Bonino and met with her so much that this former illegal abortionist turned politician and champion of abortion now speaks at Catholic churches.

He endorsed the UN Sustainable Development Goals, of which #3.7 promotes abortion via the UN code words of “universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services.”

In 2015, he invited a “transgender” couple to the Vatican and called the two females, one of whom had mutilated herself to appear as a man, “married” and happy. He referred to the mutilated woman as “He that was her but is he.”

Under Francis, the Church did a 180-degree about-face on population control. Whereas JPII called on the pro-life movement to fight depopulation at the United Nations, Francis has made the biggest population control advocates like Jeffrey Sachs, Paul Erlich and Ban-Ki Moon speakers at the Vatican itself.

On July 16, 2016, he called cohabitation real marriage and said that it had the grace of real marriage—when referring to some in Northern Argentina who he felt were monogamous in their sexual relations.

 

 

Idolatry 

He committed idolatry with the Pachamama scandal and continued it in Canada with the native shaman invoking one of the four directions to open “the sacred circle of spirits” while the pope and attending cardinals all participated in the pagan ceremony with eyes closed and hands placed reverently over their hearts.

 

 

With Shaman Raymond Gros-Louis

  Pope Francis was asked about “avoiding pregnancy” in areas at risk of Zika virus                          transmission. He noted that contraception was not an absolute evil. Asked for clarification, the Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis was approving use of contraceptives and condoms in grave cases.

And in case that wasn’t clear enough, the Pope has now permitted the so-called Pontifical Academy for Life to openly suggest a change to the Church’s perennial teaching against contraception.

But oh, one might say these are not official documents of the Church—they do not therefore constitute anything magisterial, they can be ignored. Well not so fast.

First there was Amoris Laetitia. And even when some tried to do mental gymnastics to interpret the document in an orthodox fashion, Francis made the heretical interpretation (allowing for communion for remarried divorcees) the official interpretation.

Then, in a little-known passage in his 2018 exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate, Francis teaches the opposite of what Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI taught regarding the pre-eminence of abortion as an issue of moral concern. Speaking of immigration and abortion: “Some Catholics consider it a secondary issue compared to the ‘grave’ bioethical questions.” The Pope added: “That a politician looking for votes might say such a thing is understandable, but not a Christian.” He criticized those who “relativize” these issues “as if there are other more important matters, or the only thing that counts is one particular ethical issue or cause that they themselves defend.”

And in the latest apostolic letter Desiderio Desideravi, which addressed Holy Communion, the Pope said that all that was needed for the reception of Holy Communion is faith. The document was released on June 29—the very day on which the most pro-abortion politician in US history, the so-called Catholic Nancy Pelosi, came to the Vatican and visited with Pope Francis and received Communion at a papal mass. This must be seen against the background of Pelosi’s bishop publicly issuing a decree noting that she must be denied Holy Communion, after a decade of trying to convince her to amend her ways. The Pope openly bashed Pelosi’s archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone, as “lacking a pastoral nature.”

Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland, Kazakhstan Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Dutch Bishop Robert Mutsaerts, and Texas retired-Bishop René Gracida have issued a condemnation of the apostolic letter, citing it as “contradicting the faith” and quoting the Council of Trent, which calls the notion put forward by Francis in his letter “heresy.”

Shall we not join with these heroic bishops and the many learned priests, religious and laity who have begun to resist Pope Francis? If we care about the faith, about our children, and about Francis’s own soul, we must.

 

Blessed Maria Pierina Di Micheli, pray for us!
