PRIDE IN JUNE IS PRIDE IN CHRIST

Jacinda Ardern was so proud to be the first NZ Prime Minister to march with Gay Pride, 2018 

  

“If this absolutely ignominious and abominable vice is not immediately stopped with an iron fist, the sword of Divine wrath will fall upon us, bringing ruin to many.” 

Well it took a few centuries, but the sword of Divine wrath has most certainly fallen now on New Zealand, known not so long ago as "Godzone". 

Jacinda Ardern heralded our descent into the kingdom of the Antichrist with her oh-so-proud participation in Auckland's Pride Parade in 2018 and "Chippy" Hipkins - being neither a deep thinker or a quick learner and by no means a man of God - with his sad friend Shaneel Lal (whom Kiwibank saw fit to call Young New Zealander of the Year, and Mental Health NZ to adopt as their poster boy) has dragged this country even deeper into the mire.

St Peter Damian was writing of the perversion and degradation of the sin of sodomy in 1049, when corruption was rife, especially in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. In his letter to Pope Leo IX he was very clear that his concern, and the primary concern of the Holy See also, was the salvation of souls. 

The saint distinguished between the various forms of sodomy and the stages of sodomical corruption beginning with solitary and mutual masturbation and ending with interfemoral (between the thighs) stimulation and anal coitus, noting that there is a tendency among prelates to treat the first three degrees of the vice with an "improper leniency," preferring to reserve dismissal from the clerical state for only those men proven to be involved in anal penetration. 

The result, Damian states, is that a man, guilty of the "lesser" degrees of the vice, accepts his milder penances, but remains free to pollute others without the least fear of losing his rank. The predictable result of his superior's leniency, says Damian, is that the vice spreads, the culprit grows more daring in his illicit acts knowing he will not suffer any critical loss of his clerical status, he loses all fear of God and his last state is worse than his first.

(A) religious superior guilty of sodomy has not only committed a sacrilege with his spiritual son, but has also violated the law of nature. Such a superior damns not only his own soul but takes another with him, Damian states.

Without fail it brings death to the body and destruction to the soul. It pollutes the flesh, extinguishes the light of the mind, expels the Holy Spirit from the temple of the human heart, and gives entrance to the devil, the stimulator of lust. It leads to error, totally removes truth from the mind. ... It opens up Hell and closes the Gates of Paradise.

This disease erodes the foundation of faith, saps the vitality of hope, dissolves the bond of love. It makes way with justice, demolishes fortitude, removes temperance, and blunts the edge of prudence. http://www.catholictradition.org/deceit-damian.htm

God always knew Lucifer's fiendish plan for the month of June in the twentyfirst century. So He made it over to the Most Sacred Heart of His Divine Son. With eyes opened to the gravity of the sin celebrated not just in New Zealand but the world over, in June, faithful Catholics must now do what we can by prayer, fasting and penance to reclaim June for Jesus. 

The month of June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It’s already been claimed for His Majesty for centuries, and the Kingdom of His Sacred and Eucharistic Heart already holds sway over the universe since His glorious Ascension to His Throne – how much more a single month in the calendar year?

Our readers don’t need to be made aware what this month has become.

The good news is that it almost feels like God already knew this filth would happen, and already charged June with the liturgical power necessary to soften hardened hearts, and save souls and societies.

From the Apostles Fast, to the Octave of Corpus Christi, the Sacred Heart in the center, with the summer bonfire for St. John (that proto-martyr for marriage!) and Peter and Paul, culminating in First Vespers of the Feast of the Precious Blood (whose collect is an invocation against demons).

It dawned on me recently, that our two lay sodalities, the Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation and the Fellowship of St. Nicholas, act with one purpose in this month, according to the first intentions of our Patroness, Our Lady of Fatima under her Russian icon. And so we’re spending all of June focusing on the spiritual greatness thereof, and this June is only the beginning.

1. Restore the Apostles Fast in your Domestic Church and Parish

We wonder why there is so much demonic activity in our society. Actually, His Majesty has already explained that: a demon of this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting (Mt. xvii. 20).

Let’s swallow the hard truth: it is because of our lukewarm penance that God is punishing us by unleashing demons in society. Read the Holy Scriptures (start with Judges). Read the message of Fatima.

This is how this works.

The answer is simple, but not easy. If we do not do penance, God will continue to pour out His wrath until we do. Therefore, brethren in Christ, hear the word of the Lord from the greatest of Prophets:

Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire (Mt. iii. 7-10)

I know fasting is hard – that’s the point.

Actually it's hard to start with, but it soon becomes habit. A reader of this blog now deceased used to say his years of fasting led to a distaste for food. He didn't feel like eating any more. But he lived to a ripe and very active old age. 

But don’t worry, you can join our lay sodality (English and Spanish) to do it together with other traditional Catholics from around the world! Fasting has a long tradition in Christendom of being done together to strengthen ourselves to complete it, and to corporately petition God.

OK, fine, but what is the Apostles Fast? It’s one of the things that God gave us in June centuries before June was usurped by Satan.

One of the most ancient features of June is the great feast of Peter and Paul. This is a universal feast on June 29, in both the Latin and Greek rites, which includes a significant fast of preparation from Monday after Trinity through the Vigil of Ss. Peter and Paul, June 28. This fast is not as strict as Lent, and the Latin custom was always a local custom (like St. Michael’s or St. Martin’s Lent).

If you can’t make the whole month, you can still join our sodality and follow the Tier 1 rules (required), and just add a little for the Apostles Fast every June: add Wednesday abstinence to Friday this year. Next year, add Mondays too, etc.

It’s better to attempt some fasting for penance and reparation with good intent and fail, than to do nothing during June. We have to make reparation to Almighty God for sins committed in June, which cry to heaven for vengeance. Do you want fire to come down from heaven and consume your city? I sure don’t. So let’s act like it.

And this fast is a perfect opportunity – in the month of the Octave of Corpus Christi before the Feast of the Precious Blood! – to offer fasting as Eucharistic Reparation in line with our central lay sodality, founded by Athanasius Schneider.

Crusade

I wholeheartedly support and bless this necessary and very important lay initiative for eucharistic revival in the Church of our day.
-Bishop Athanasius Schneider

The Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation is a lay sodality run by OnePeterFive in partnership with Benedictus and Mass of the Ages.

This crusade was called by His Excellency, Bishop Athanasius Schneider in June of 2020 in response to the profanations of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament during the COVID crisis. Now he has also added the intention of the reversal of Traditionis Custodes. 

A crusade is a spiritual war called by the clergy, but waged primarily by the laity. It is time to fight for the central dogma of our faith, which is under attack perhaps more than any other dogma: the Real Presence of Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.

   We offer all these intentions to Our Lady of Sorrows who stood at the foot of the Cross and likewise sees the continued abuse of her Son in the Blessed Sacrament, that she may purify these efforts and offer them to God by her hands. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee, and for those who have no recourse to thee – especially the enemies of Holy Church!
