From Sadie's Desk.........100% Catholic! Smorgasbord Catholics will be highly irritated!
Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
As we approach the Good Friday of the Church, the world, and our own personal Good Friday, I am just sending this as a reminder that we are all in this world suffering together. We are not the Church Triumphant, who are already in heaven (and helping us if we ask), nor the Church Suffering, (who have passed away and perhaps are in purgatory), we are in the Militant, suffering here on earth, fighting for the truth of church, fighting to become saintly, so that we can either go to one or the other place mentioned above.
I said fighting for the truth, and that is a truth that many do not want to hear. When I would travel and give speeches, that is all I spoke. I would plug in to the Holy Spirit and He would speak the TRUTH OF JESUS through me. Often times I didn't know what I said because Jesus gave me a prayer to pray before every conference and yes, I would be plugged into the Holy Spirit. I never prepared anything beforehand.
Years ago, a priest was given a parish in the Los Angeles area, and he was preaching on mortal sin. A woman stood up in the middle of his homily and said "You're a liar!", she went to the Bishop and poof! The priest was given, as a punishment, a parish in Mexico. He was not a diocesan priest.
The title of my newsletter says "Smorgasbord Catholics will be HIGHLY irritated. I have that in the title because I too, was once a smorgasbord Catholic......meaning that you pick and choose what you want to believe regarding Catholicism. You don't realize, as I did not, that if you reject one point of the faith, you reject it ALL.
When I came to that realization, I challenged to Lord. Most today would act like they know better than the church and are experts in all things Catholic, instead of asking for help. I basically challenged the Lord on the issues I had problems with. I said, "Well Lord, than show me why, what and where I can find the knowledge that I need."
Be careful what you pray for.
Shortly afterwards I began to receive certain magazines, video tapes (yes, that is how long ago it was), articles that answered all the questions I had. Information I had not subscribed to!
The catechisis for the last 50, 60 years has been so bad most people just don't know their faith. If priests has been preaching from the pulpit years ago the TRUTH of our faith and traditions, not worried about their tax exemption status or being politically correct, I don't think the world would be in this bad of a situation.
If the people running the church had not decided to be run it like a corporation, families would be encouraged to have more than 1 or 2 children, because we would still have the orders of nuns teaching, making it easier and more affordable to send their children to Catholic school. Destruction of the family unit has always been the evil plan.
Recently at a prayer meeting, a mother shared that she had to pay more than $100.00 dollars for her child to receive First Communion! What if a family had 5, 6, 7 or more children? I believe for Confirmation it was $200.00+
It would cost them a small fortune in today's world. Who can afford to live decently in today's world unless you have two incomes. Gone are the days of living off the land, and being there to raise your children.
I had to take my child out of "Catholic" (and I use that term loosely) many years ago, because it was being run by a lesbian nun, and they would come home saying that the teacher said there is no devil....there is no hell. As St. Padre Pio said, they'll believe it when they get there. I have since learned some schools have non-Catholics teaching, running the school.....my children at that time were 5 and 6 years old. Now they are in their 30's.
Tell me what does that parent hope to gain if the child does not learn true Catholic teaching to guide them through life? It is no better than going to government public schools to have your child be indoctrinated to Communism. Everything they are trying to teach in schools falls under Communism, for the most part.
I'm sorry, but the evil agenda is to indoctrinate and sexualize our children from K through higher grades, making it possible for the children to do things without parental knowledge, and I think that is reprehensible!
The kids are taught to have hatred for our country, hatred for white people, privileged people, race, offenses for what was done centuries ago, reparation, tearing down of statues, (you know like the Nazi's did in WWII, try to re-write history, and lets not forget how to do anarchy in the higher grades. There have been a number of "grab and go" robberies here in California. They can steal up to $900 + dollars worth of articles, with no fear of getting caught, arrested or tried. Oh, and this is a blue state run by Democrats for many, many years as you well know.

PRIESTS have been the key for humankind....had they done it right, we would not be going through all these hard times.
All these issues could have been avoided if priests had the courage to speak the TRUTH years ago.
Some people have never heard of mortal and venial sins and what they are;
Making a good (with a HOLY PRIEST) EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE;
Learning what the 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE (not the 10 suggestions)
These are just the beginnings of where to start.
But this year is a good year to make a GENERAL CONFESSION in preparation for Easter. A Norbertine priest told me once you take the 10 Commandments and hit the highlights, (I hate to think that is all I had before, the highlights of sin) sins of each one of the 10 Commandments to make a General Confession. It is one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had. Of course I made an appointment with my priest to do this, it is not your normal confession.
We look forward to the end of evil....it will be the beginning of a New Dawn, a simple world such as we have never known.
Of course we still have a ways to go, but I'm excited. I await with hope, joy and expectation. Our children and grandchildren will live in the Era of Peace....perhaps some of us will not make it. Perhaps some of us want to live in this Era ....not me. Our real home is heaven. And I want to go home
The Mark of Thau is like the cross of the Franciscans. Although this is the old testament and God is addressing Israel, we understand that God is talking to us. "ancient men who were before the house......in my New American Bible 1970 version it says "begin at my sanctuary"...that means the priests.
This book and verse of the bible was given to me many years ago in one of the messages Jesus gave.
Ezekiel 9:6- 11 6] Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who were before the house. [7] And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city. [8] And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem? [9] And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. [10] Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head. [11] And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
THE MARK OF THAU CROSS - is what we receive when we make our consecration. When we truly give our fiat to Jesus and Mary. It is invisible on us, but the angels can see it! Much like when the angels could see the blood on the houses and PASSED OVER the houses that were marked with blood in the Old Testament, which we know is Passover.
. The following is one prayer of consecration. There are many that you can look up on Duck Duck Go or Google
Act of Consecration to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I consecrate myself and my whole family to You. I consecrate to You: my very being and my whole life…All that I am…All that I have…and all that I love. To You I give my body, my heart, and my soul. To You I dedicate my home and my country. Mindful of this consecration, I now promise You to live a Christian way of life by the practice of virtues. O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, accept this act of consecration, which I make out of pure love for You.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me! Immaculate Heart of Mary, be my salvation! Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Your merciful heart! Amen.
What we do to draw closer to Jesus, and to Mary, the Holy Spirit knows. What is right for one cannot be for the other. Each of us has our own journey. Like when Simon of Cyrene was chosen to help Jesus. That's you and me. If and when things get difficult, I pray we all know what to do. But most important is our spiritual life. Our soul. So do not worry, just pray and the Holy Spirit will lead you all to that which you are to do. All for the glory of God!
Pray the rosary, wear your scapular, receive the Eucharist. You are all loved in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Pray for our beloved priests. Pray for a cleansing of our church. (Bella Dodd, head of the Communist party in the 30's and 40's wrote School of Darkness, explaining how she sent 1500 men from the communist party into seminaries to become priests. They have destroyed from the interior of the church) Pray for an end to the craziness we are now going through. Pray for an end to the madness politicians are trying to force upon us. Pray for good leaders. Most of all, pray that we are holy!
This has been kind of a review for the choir : ) which I am sure you all passed!
Until next time, have a wonderful Holy Week
Love in the Two Hearts, Sadie
