After such knowledge, what forgiveness?
Recently, we discussed the vanishing possibility of repentance (here) for the wretched men who have usurped power in the Church. We suggested that Our Lady’s prophecy at Akita, “If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them” might well be applied to this time of stubborn persistence in grievous sin.
The following will not be read by those who could profit most, for as we wrote in our earlier post, they are hardened in their conviction that their perverted lifestyles are sufficient unto themselves. Like dung beetles they have formed their own paradises from filth and are content there, spurning the Light, spurning His grace and His truth.
No matter how vast the indifference of the world, the truth remains and it is most clearly grasped in the Mysteries of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Sorrowful Mysteries of Our Lady’s Rosary occurred over 2,000 years ago, and in fact, are with us still. For those who take the trouble to look, He is there in the garden and still He prays in anguish for us, knowing that we, His own, His beloved, betray Him still. Only now, instead of in an olive grove, He is in abandoned tabernacles, ignored even by His own who are consecrated to Him. The blows of His scourging resound through the millennia. Attend with your heart!
No? You cannot perceive it? Kneel then with Mary, Queen of the Sorrowful Mysteries. Ask her to help you, not for you to see this vision, but to know it with her mind and heart. When once you know, really know in your inmost being, these awful blows upon His innocent back, on His poor shoulders, you will always feel, never not feel them reverberating through your deepest being, with every blasphemy against Him, with every attack on His Sacrament of Love, every sneer at Him or most especially at His beloved Mother.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.
You must enter this way. Do not delay. The fact that very few will read this is all the more of a responsibility for those who do! Why are you here? What did you expect? After 2,000 years of His Passion, of His loving reparation, what have we done? What response from us? What are you doing? You cannot serve Him now unless you are united with Mary, become heart of her Immaculate Heart, mind completely united with her mind, which is always in union with Him.
There is nothing left to us but this Passion and Death. It can only be accomplished through Mary with her children. If we fail to grasp this, fail to act on it, there will be no forgiveness. We have this knowledge and with it comes this Cross.
The Sorrowful Mysteries are essential now. Do not try to visualize them, as people who have been too long immersed in television and movies do. If you ask Our Lady, she will enlighten your heart and your mind, and you will know these mysteries. That must be your goal. Now the first three Sorrowful are about Reparation for concupiscence* of the eyes, concupiscence of the flesh and the pride of life, and once you enter fully into their meaning, you may pass on to the last two which are your own Way of the Cross. You must accompany the Lord and His Holy Mother on this way. It is the only way.
To understand the Sorrowfuls we turn to the Mother Our Lord has given us: Only with Mary, she alone shared every moment of His Passion with Him, uniting her will with His, adoring Him for us. She did not sleep through His time of agony, for her pure heart was joined with His – those two hearts are united still! Only she can take you there, to the Garden, and on the rocky path to the Place of the Skull. She will share with you her sorrow as she held Him, once His life had ebbed away, indeed, she holds you now, with Him. Trust her! You cannot do one thing worthwhile except for this. This is everything. Trust Mary.
* For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1 John 2, 16)
Soon, it will be too late. Trust Mary. She awaits us now.
† Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of our hearts, Mother of the Church, do thou offer to the Eternal Father the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the conversion of poor sinners, especially our Pontiff.
† O Virgin Most Sorrowful, Mother of Mercy, intercede for us now and at the hour of our death!
† Most Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Save our priests!
† St. Joseph, protect us, protect our families, protect our church.

I worry about the “hardened convictions” and lack of acknowledgement, and no contrition of so many in the hierarchy.
This lent, for those who are aware of the above problems, is time for prayers, penance, and fasting. In the hopes that the hardened hearts will humbly submit to their pride and arrogance and return to the fold “renewed.”
