hello brothers and sisters welcome to
mother and refuge of the end times
today we would like to share with you
a message from our lady to pedro regis
come holy spirit
enlighten our minds to discern and to
live in the most holy will of god
in all things that no evil may prosper
through us or against us
in the name of the father and of the son
and of the holy spirit amen
on july 30th 2022
our lady said to pedro regis
dear children
humanity is walking in spiritual
darkness
because men have rejected the light of
the lord
i ask you to keep the flame of your
faith alight
do not allow anything to take you away
from my jesus
flee from sin
and serve the lord faithfully
you are heading for a painful future
days will come
when you will search for the precious
food
the eucharist and not find it
the church of my jesus will go back to
being
as it was when jesus entrusted it to
peter
do not be discouraged
my jesus will never abandon you
when all scenes lost
god's victory will come for you
courage
in your hands the holy rosary and holy
scripture
in your hearts love for the truth
when you feel weak
seek strength in the words of my jesus
and in the eucharist
i love you
and will pray to my jesus for you
this is the message i give you today in
the name of the most holy trinity
thank you for having allowed me to
gather you here once more
i bless you in the name of the father
the son and the holy spirit
amen
be at peace
the transcription of a 1969 radio
broadcast with cardinal joseph ratzinger
pope benedict xvi
predicting her church that will be
simplified again
the future of the church can and will
issue from those whose roots are deep
and who live from the pure fullness of
their faith
it will not issue from those who
accommodate themselves merely to the
passing moment or from those who merely
criticize others
and assume that they themselves are
infallible measuring rods
nor will it issue from those who take
the easier road
who sidestep the passion of faith
declaring false and obsolete tyrannous
and legalistic
all that makes demands upon men that
hurts them and compels them to sacrifice
themselves
to put this more positively the future
of the church once again is always
will be reshaped by saints by men
that is whose minds probe deeper than
the slogans of the day
who see more than others see
because their lives embrace a wider
reality
unselfishness which makes men free
is attained only through the patience of
small daily acts of self-denial
by this daily passion which alone
reveals to a man in how many ways
he is enslaved by his own ego
by his daily passion
and by it alone
a man's eyes are slowly opened
he sees only to the extent that he has
lived and suffered
if today we are scarcely able any longer
to become aware of god that is because
we find it so easy to evade ourselves to
free from the depths of our being by
means of the narcotic of some pleasure
or other
thus our own interior depths remain
closed to us
if it is true that a man can see only
with his heart
then how blind we are
how does all this affect the problem we
are examining
it means that the big talk
of those who prophesy a church without
god
and without faith is all empty chatter
we have no need of a church that
celebrates the cult of action in
political prayers
it is utterly superfluous
therefore it will destroy itself
what will remain is the church of jesus
christ
the church that believes in the god who
has become man and promises us life
beyond death
the kind of priest who is no more than a
social worker
can be replaced by the psychotherapist
and other specialists
but the priest who is no specialist
who does not stand on the sidelines
watching the game
giving official advice
but in the name of god places himself
at the disposal of man who is beside
them in their sorrows
in their joys
in their hope
and in their fear
such a priest will certainly be needed
in the future
let us go a step further from the crisis
of today the church will
of tomorrow will emerge
a church that has lost much
she will become small and will have to
start afresh
more or less from the beginning
she will no longer be able to inhabit
many of the edifices she built in
prosperity
as the number of her adherence
diminishes
so it will lose many of her social
privileges
in contrast to an earlier age
it will be seen much more as a voluntary
society
ended only by free decision
as a small society it will make much
bigger demands on the initiative of our
individual members
undoubtedly it will discover new forms
of ministry
and will ordain to the priesthood
approved christians who pursue some
profession
in many smaller congregations or in
self-contained social groups
pastoral care will normally be provided
in this fashion
alongside this the full-time ministry of
the priesthood will be indispensable as
formerly
but in all of the changes at which wine
might guess
the church will find her essence afresh
and with full conviction in that
which was always at her center
faith in the triune god
in jesus christ
the son of god made man
in the presence of the spirit
until the end of the world
in faith and prayer
she will again recognize the sacraments
as the worship of god
and not as a subject for liturgical
scholarship
the church will be a more spiritual
church not presuming upon a political
mandate
flirting as little with the left as with
the light
it will be hard going for the church
for the process of crystallization and
clarification will cost her much
valuable energy
it will make her poor
and cause her to become the church of
the meek
the process will be all the more arduous
for sectarian narrow-mindedness
as well as pompous self-will will have
to be shared
one may predict that all of this will
take time
the process will be long and beerism as
was the road from the false
progressivism
on the eve of this french revolution
when a bishop might be thought smart if
he made fun of dogmas
and even insinuated that the existence
of god was by no means certain
to the renewal of the 19th century
but when the trial of this sifting is
passed a great power will flow
from a more spiritualized and simplified
church
men in a totally planned world will find
themselves unspeakably lonely
if they have completely lost sight of
god
they will feel the whole horror of their
poverty
then they will discover the little flock
of believers as something holy new
they will discover it as a hope that is
meant for them an answer for which they
have always been searching in secret
and so it seems certain to me that the
church is facing very hard times
the real crisis has scarcely begun
we will have to count on terrific
upheavals
but i'm equally certain
about what will remain at the end
not the church of the political cult
which is dead already
but the church of faith
it may well no longer be the dominant
social power
to the extent that she was until
recently
but it will enjoy a fresh blossoming
and be seen as man's home
where he will find life and hope beyond
death
immaculate heart of mary
pray for us
