Santità, esiste una visione del Bene unica? E chi la stabilisce?
«Ciascuno di noi ha una sua visione del Bene e anche del Male. Noi dobbiamo incitarlo a procedere verso quello che lui pensa sia il Bene».
Lei, Santità, l’aveva già scritto nella lettera che mi indirizzò. La coscienza è autonoma, aveva detto, e ciascuno deve obbedire alla propria coscienza. Penso che quello sia uno dei passaggi più coraggiosi detti da un Papa.
«E qui lo ripeto. Ciascuno ha una sua idea del Bene e del Male e deve scegliere di seguire il Bene e combattere il Male come lui li concepisce. Basterebbe questo per migliorare il mondo».

“Per chi non crede in Dio la questione: [del bene e del male] sta nell’obbedire alla propria coscienza. Il peccato, anche per chi non ha la fede, c’è quando si va contro la coscienza. Ascoltare ed obbedire ad essa significa infatti decidersi di fronte a ciò che viene percepito come bene e male. E su questa decisione si gioca la bontà o la malvagità del nostro agire”.

Pope “Consecrates” World to Immaculate Heart with no mention of “Consecration” or the “Immaculate Heart”

Pope Francis’ October 13 Entrustment

No Mention of “Consecration”, No Mention of
“Immaculate Heart”, No Mention of “World”

by John Vennari

“Pope Francis Consecrates World to the Immaculate Heart”. This was the headline from EWTN, from Vatican Radio, from the National Catholic Register, and other Catholic news outlets.

Unfortunately these headlines are not accurate. Pope Francis’ “Entrustment” ceremony at the Vatican on October 13, 2013, contained no mention of “Consecration”, no mention of the “Immaculate Heart”, and no mention of “world”.

While any public Papal devotion to Our Lady is welcome, it must be said that Pope Francis did not consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart, but made a kind of general “Entrustment” to Our Lady. This despite Father Nicholas Gruner’s good and valiant efforts to spread awareness in Rome for the proper Consecration of Russia in the weeks immediately prior to the Pope’s ceremony.

We will first look at Pope Francis’ October prayer, and contrast it with the Consecration prayer of the Bishops of Portugal in the 1930s.

Act of Entrustment to Mary
Pope Francis: October 13, 2013

Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima, with renewed gratitude for Your maternal presence we unite our voice with that of all the generations who call You blessed.

We celebrate in You the great works of God, Who never tires to incline with mercy on humanity, afflicted by evil and wounded by sin, to heal it and save it.

Accept with the compassion of a Mother the act of entrustment which today we make with confidence, before this Your image to us so dear.

We are certain that each one of us is precious to Your eyes and that nothing which dwells in our hearts is unknown to You.

Let us reach Your sweet gaze and receive the consoling caress of Your smile.

Guard our life in Your arms: bless and strengthen every good desire; revive and foster faith; sustain and illumine hope; create and enliven charity; guide all of us in the path of holiness.

Teach us Your same preferential love for the  small and the poor, for the excluded and the suffering, for sinners and the lost: gather all under Your protection  and give all of us to Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus.[1]

Compare this “Entrustment” with the impressive, militant Consecration prayer by the Portuguese Bishops. Their prayer is a kind of “gold standard” of Consecration that we can rely on to contrast any other such prayer in our time. On May 13, 1931, three hundred thousand of the faithful came to Fatima for the Bishops of Portugal’s Consecration of Portugal to the Immaculate Heart. Their prayer reads:


  “The Shepherds chosen by Your Son to watch over and feed in His name the sheep He has acquired at the price of His blood — in this ‘Land of Holy Mary’, whose name cannot be pronounced without pronouncing Your own — come today — as the officials and consecrated representatives of their flocks, and in an act of filial homage of faith, love and trust — to solemnly consecrate the Portuguese nation to Your Immaculate Heart. Take it from our fragile hands into Your own; defend it and guard it as Your own property; make Jesus reign, conquer and rule in it. Outside of Him there is no salvation.”

 “We, the pontiffs of your people, feel a terrible storm raging around us, threatening to disperse and destroy the faithful flock of those who bless You because You are the Mother of Jesus. Afflicted, we stretch out our suppliant hands towards Your Son, as we cry out: ‘Save us, O Lord, for we perish! …’

 “Intercede for Portugal, O Our Lady, in this grave hour when from the East blow furious winds, bringing cries of death against Your Son and against the civilization founded on His teachings, deceiving minds, perverting hearts, and lighting the fires of hatred and revolution in the world. Help of Christians, pray for us!”

“Intercede for Portugal, Our Lady, in this troubled hour when the unclean waves of an open immorality, which has even lost the notion of sin, exalt the rehabilitation of the flesh in the face of the very Cross of Your Son, threatening to choke in this world the lily of virtue nourished by the Eucharistic Blood of Jesus. Virgin most Powerful, pray for us!

“Intercede for Portugal, Our Lady, in this hour of passions and doubts when even the good run the risk of being lost … Unite all the Portuguese people around Your Son, in the love of the Church and also in the cultivation of virtue, in respect for order and fraternal charity. Queen of Peace, pray for us.

“Remember finally, Patroness of our country, that Portugal once taught so many lands to proclaim You blessed among all women. In remembrance of what it once did for Your glory, Our Lady of Fatima, save it, by giving it Jesus, in Whom it will find Truth, Life and Peace.”[2]



As a result of this Consecration, which clearly used the words “Consecration,” “Immaculate Heart”, and plainly noted the objection of the Consecration: “Portugal” – and also mentioned the contemporary evils that needed to be opposed –  Our Lady graced Portugal with what has been called a three-fold miracle of conversion: 1) The restoration of Catholic life; 2) the restoration of Catholic social order; 3) the miracle of Peace: Portugal was spared from the ravages of the Spanish Civil War raging right next door, and Portugal was spared from the horrors of the Second World War.[3]

Signs to Watch For – Food For All Program

Food Sovereignty – A Brief Introduction

 

http://rajpatel.org/2009/11/02/food-sovereignty-a-brief-introduction/

One sign to watch for: Francis and the Antichrist (Maitreya = Raj Patel) will announce a “Food For All” program.

You will see one hint of this with a recent press release which includes “Food Security.” You will find the term Food Security used much in the future.

silly game

President Barack Obama said that the United States “should take military action against Syrian targets” in a Rose Garden address Saturday. However, he said he would seek Congressional approval when Congress returns from recess.

really a global catch 22…

  • Ogni numero di magia è composto da 3 parti o atti. La prima parte è chiamata “La Promessa”. L’illusionista vi mostra qualcosa di ordinario: un mazzo di carte, un uccellino, o un uomo. Vi mostra questo oggetto. Magari vi chiede di ispezionarlo, di controllare se sia davvero reale, sia inalterato, normale. Ma ovviamente… è probabile che non lo sia. Il secondo atto è chiamato “La Svolta”. L’illusionista prende quel qualcosa di ordinario e lo trasforma in qualcosa di straordinario. Ma ancora non applaudite. Perché far sparire qualcosa non è sufficiente; bisogna anche farla riapparire. Ora voi state cercando il segreto… ma non lo troverete, perché in realtà non state davvero guardando. Voi non volete saperlo. Voi volete essere ingannati. Per questo ogni numero di magia ha un terzo atto, la parte più ardua, la parte che chiamiamo “Il Prestigio”. (John Cutter)
  • Osserva attentamente. (Alfred Borden)
  • Non dirlo mai a nessuno. Ti pregheranno di svelare il segreto, ma appena glielo dirai, non conterai più niente. Sono stato chiaro? Niente. Il segreto non fa colpo su nessuno. Il trucco che c’è dietro invece è ciò che conta. (Alfred Borden)

“The Prestige”

Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called “The Pledge”. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course… it probably isn’t. The second act is called “The Turn”. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough; you have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call “The Prestige”.”

 

Messaggio da Medjugorje – Guerra in Siria

sembra che la notizia di un Messaggio da Medjugorje relativo alla situazione in Siria sia falsa.

La Francia e la Gran Bretagna si defilano, Obama chiede l’appoggio del Congresso. Sembra di nuovo il solito gioco delle tre carte.

Se l’attacco ci sarà davvero è molto probabile che si inneschi qualcosa che va oltre “l’autunno arabo”

 

Imagine suddenly realizing that everything you remember isn’t what you lived through. You have no idea which memories are yours and which aren’t. Where do the fake memories end, and where it’s really your life?

Chemical Attack Weapons Supplied By Saudi’s Prince Bandar

Reported by Associated Press journalist DALE GAVLAK.

GAVLAK has been a Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press for two decades and has also worked for National Public Radio (NPR).

Excerpts from article at link below:

Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in providing rebels, whom they have vehemently backed at every turn, with chemical weapons, is no surprise given the revelations earlier this week that the Saudis threatened Russia with terror attacks at next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi unless they abandoned support for the Syrian President. (Snip)

“From numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families….many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the (deadly) gas attack,” writes Gavlak.

“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” one militant named ‘J’ told Gavlak.

His claims are echoed by another female fighter named ‘K’, who told Gavlak, “They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them. We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”

Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of an opposition rebel, also told Gavlak, “My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” describing them as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.” The father names the Saudi militant who provided the weapons as Abu Ayesha. (Snip)

“More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government,” writes Gavlak.
