Dear Friends in Christ,
“Remember Man that thou art dust; And unto dust thou shalt return!” With these words is the traditional Catholic signed with ashes today, the beginning of Lent. (I have no idea what they now say in the Newchurch.) This simple ceremony is a powerful reminder of the Last Four Things: Death, Judgement, Heaven & Hell. These are the things that should ever be in our minds for at any moment we could, (and will!) be called before the Judgement Seat of Christ.
Where I live in Los Angeles a billboard went up recently that proclaims that Judgement Day is Approaching, May 21, 2011 Pray mightily unto God for His Mercy! It was put there by Harold Camping and his followers. He is one of the Protestant Fundamentalist Date Setters. He has made this pronouncement before for other dates but what gets me are the millions that he gets from good souls all over the country who believe him. What will happen on May 22nd. when the “rapture” ruptures in a spasm of reality that their interpretation of the Word of God is flawed? Sad and tragic for the Cause of Christ and for these souls that do not realize that the real judgement day is coming for all of us- the day of our death! This is the judgement day that we should be concerned about and which Holy Mother Church urges all her children to prepare for with every moment of their lives.
Lent is losing every negative thought in Christ. Renewing our thoughts and lives through prayer, sacrament and the Word of God. May you use this time wisely and pray for others. Sacrifice something on a daily basis and don’t tell anyone what you are giving up! Make a lenten discipline of special prayer, as well and you will be better for it come Easter. For if there is no cross in your life there will be no glory. If there is no crown of thorns there will be no halo of light. If there is no Good Friday there will be no Easter Sunday. Unite all your prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this and every day to the merits of Christ upon the Cross of Calvary, asking Him to forgive you your sins and save us all from the fires of Hell and to save your soul and those whom you love and all with whom you come in contact. Do this simple thing and much good will come to you and others.
In regards to the Abbey of Christ the King in Alabama… As I predicted in this blog some time ago the Abbey has been closed by those who staged the Coup. In fact, I am told that no announcement was made from the pulpit, only a printed announcement on the back of the bulletin. A poor woman who did not read the announcement was doing the Stations of the Cross after the Mass and they called the cops on her!!! Can you believe that?! I can. I predicted these things. They are a real piece of work and need much prayer to save their souls after what they have done. I am sure that they will either sell the Abbey and grounds or turn in over to the Newchurch for a tidy profit. Wait and watch! Watch! Watch! Watch! “He is holding all of this to that final Day.” I am asking for the things I donated to the Abbey to be returned to me. I have gone to my attorney as I have proof that I donated them with the stipulation that if the Abbey was ever closed that they be returned to me. I urge all of the Faithful to demand that their donations be returned, as well as they are now in the hands of infidels. This is all so sad and one can not help but wonder if these Judas priests were planted or made. Only God knows. May He bless the dear Faithful of Alabama as they fight to retain in some way this bastion of kindness and gently Catholic culture that was founded by the late, great Father Abbot Leonard of fond memory. Pray for all involved and pray for me! I remember all of you at the altar of the Lord.
