RESURRECTION

She will raise him from the dead…
                              ... and he will come back in joy.

THERE were a thousand of us at the Mutualité on Sunday 19 November, including toddlers brought by their parents for the Sisters to look after. But they also have their place in the eyes of the Lord, for it is out of their mouths that His praise springs forth… It was therefore a large family gathering, the last of this century and the most joyous, the most consoling ever, taking place as it did under the aegis of the smiling Pope now resurrected from the dead. For, with Her beautiful Secret, Our Lady has truly made us love, admire and revere this good Pastor, so good and so wise, overflowing with solicitude for his flock and already attracting all souls to himself that he might cure the world of its folly with his humour and sensitivity… Thus, this last edition of the year, of the century, of the millennium,… of the bimillennium, commemorates the death and martyrdom of Pope John Paul I. God willing, the edition of January 2001, year 1 of the third millennium of Jesus Christ, will celebrate HIS RESURRECTION, the resurrection that we await for ourselves and also for this Pope.

     There was one particular thought that filled my mind on the morning of the feast of Saint Lucy, while I was completing the proofreading of the present edition – a truly disturbing edition in which we see the devil’s warfare against the Blessed Virgin reaching the point where a Pope can be murdered without anyone batting an eyelid! So what was this thought of mine? It was this, that the Catholic Counter-Reformation in the twentieth century is over. With the twenty-first century the RESURRECTION begins. Everything died with John Paul I and everything will rise again with him.

     As we were looking for a new title to give our monthly journal for the new millennium, I decided to abandon the the title of the CATHOLIC COUNTER-REFORMATION IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY and to close down this great site of works where we have developed the corpus of our CRC doctrine, carefully following wherever the combat waged by Satan against the Blessed Virgin has led us. The previous pages present a stirring review of this combat, the succession of catastrophes, or let us say sorrowful mysteries, suffered by Sister Lucy being not unlike the Passion of her Spouse.

     Now, it is just when everything is dying, as prophesied by the Third Secret of Fatima, that our new title will proclaim the RESURRECTION of the Church, which is no less certain than that of Our Lord Jesus Christ and of those like Lazarus who left the tomb at His command or at the tremor occasioned by His precious death on Good Friday. What a joy it is to turn the page, to enter upon a new epoch! Today, “in a certain sense”, the Counter-Reformation has shut up shop, because the Conciliar Reform, through the grace of this martyr Pope, is about to to disappear. And now there will revive what was thought to be dead, and we will witness the renaissance of the Church. No longer will we have to submit to the devil’s yoke, for he will be hounded out of the Church by the all-powerful grace of the Immaculate. She who is so dear to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, will crush the head of the Serpent. We will witness the victory of Our Lady of Fatima, the victory of the chosen one She carries in Her Heart, as we were shown in the Third Secret. He will be like Joseph, Rachel’s favourite son, in the Old Testament, who, having been sold by his brothers, finally met up with them again, not to avenge himself on them but to save them all.

     Thus his adversaries have themselves fallen into the ditch they had dug for him. Ensnared by their contempt for the Virgin Mary and Her message which they chose to ignore, they will find themselves removed from office by John Paul I, a man of sorrows, detested by Satan’s minions, but beloved of those who are being saved, a new Jesus Christ for the 21^st century, just as Saint Francis was for the Middle Ages.

     According to Our Lady’s own words, the Church will turn back to this holy Pontiff, with an impulse of love for this dear son of Her Immaculate Heart. It it is through him that the Church will be reborn, when Our Lady’s requests have finally been honoured like the clauses of a NEW COVENANT, rich in marvellous promises.

     Clearly this will not take place in a day, but if we have faith, we shall wait in confidence for what She has promised, enduring rebuffs, criticisms and protests from those who refuse to believe. There will be much to suffer, for great events such as these always involve pain. But She will not delay to provide us with supernatural proofs of John Paul I’s Resurrection, and «they will look upon the one whom they have pierced», their hearts stirred deeply within them.

     Immediately after the sad ceremony of 13 May 2000, we felt as though we had died, as though we were lying among the dead. But since then, the light of Christ has shone upon our souls and a new joy has inundated our hearts. Our confidence in the protection of the Virgin Mary is ineradicable, for it is She who began this work of RESURRECTION in 1917 by making Blesseds Francicso and Jacinta our models and Lucy the herald of Her message: Penance, Penance, Penance!

     Perhaps the convulsive gestures that Sister Mary-Lucy of the Immaculate Heart was seen to perform, which we reported above, were a reminder of this cry, a final attempt to ensure that the message was understood, rather like she had acted on 13 October 1917 when, as a young girl, perched on the shoulders of Doctor Carlos Mendes, she shouted out «with great enthusiasm and faith, with an intonation like that of a great prophet: “Do penance! Do penance! Our Lady wants you to do penance. If you do penance, the war will end”...»

     This cry of Lucy’s, which imitates that of the Angel, is clearly addressed to the whole world with its vast crowds of reprobate souls marching into hell, to the Church wherein everything that has absorbed the conciliar reform is dying, and to our unhappy France which is rushing headlong into impiety, immorality, genetic engineering, the idolisation of money and all sorts of crimes. But it is addressed first and foremost to each one of us, Phalangists of the Immaculate, that we may hear it and put it into practice, at an hour when Catholics in China are being hunted down, imprisoned and tortured; when Catholics in Indonesia must flee their villages, to die of cold and hunger, or else be ritually martyred by the Moslem militias; when Catholics in South Sudan are seeing their churches, their schools and orphanages shelled.

     We must make our way to God, in order to receive the grace that flows from the Blood of these martyrs, through penance, that is to say by turning back to the only throne that is still standing, the throne on which sits the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, in accordance with the Good Pleasure of the one true God and Saviour of the world, Jesus Christ.
