Him. Let the truth speak for itself, and may those who have ears, hear.
Positive Entreaty on The Doctrine of Faith for Jesus Christ
In all things relating to Catholicism and Faith, we use the Gospel, the Word of God as the final arbiter in
all decisions. Most specially, we use the words of Jesus Christ because our faith as Christians relies on
Christ. The Gospel is the public revelation of Christ, through it, we know Him more.
John 8:31 “ Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,”If you abide in My word,
then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”
The primary and most important command of Jesus, and that of God as spoken through Jesus is:
Matthew 22:37
37 And He said to them, “You shall love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind”
38 This is the great and foremost commandment.
39 The second is like it, “You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself”
40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the prophets”
The faith and eternal salvation also relies on a few other things as mentioned by Jesus:
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s
wrath remains on them.” John 3:36
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last
day.”John 6:53-55
Jesus said to them, “ I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall never hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst.” John John 6:35 and “Truly I say to you, He who believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life.” John 7:47-48
Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, He cannot enter the
Kingdom of God” John 3:5
“He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they
belong to the Father who sent me. If you follow my commandments, you love me, and the …father loves
you” John 14:24
It is therefore necessary to follow His word, most importantly His commandments to love, and to be
baptized to achieve salvation. Other verses talk of salvation in passing, but Jesus clearly states to follow
His commandments or God’s commandments that one should love God above all else.
ON PRAYER
Jesus teaches us how to pray
Matthew 6:5-6 [Prayer] [6:9-13pp -- Lk 11:2-4] "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the
truth, they have received their reward in full.But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and
pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Luke 11:2 “When you pray, say: Father hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us each day our
daily bread.”
In Matthew 6:13” And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom,
the power and the glory forever and ever Amen.”
Jesus also tells us how effective prayer is:
“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even
greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12
1 John 3:22 “and whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do
the things that are pleasing in His sight.”
Ask and you shall receive, what father gives a stone to those who ask for bread***
Righteous/Just man’s prayer is strong***
Mark 11:23-24 “Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea’
and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted
him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them,
and they shall be granted you”
Note that there was never a mention of intercession. Only in latter Gospels such as Acts, and in the
accounts of saints do they mention intercession.
There is also no account of His recommending, condoning, or otherwise stipulating that one should pray
to His Mother.
There is no account of Jesus recommending, condoning or otherwise stipulating that we should build
statues in His likeness in remembrance of Him.
The only act that he asks to do in remembering Him and being united with Him, is to break bread with
His body and blood.
ON HIS MOTHER, MARY
There was no account that she was taken up bodily. However, if she were, she shares the fate with a few
others such as Enoch, Seth, Elijah and other prophets.
Indeed she was hailed by the angel Gabriel when it announced that she was selected amongst all to bear
Jesus Christ. However, it was more that she was singularly selected but not that she was worshipped.
Today the legions of followers of Mary, and devotees of the Most Holy Rosary are so many that when
taken into account that we have 50 Hail Marys for every 5 Our Fathers, means that we devote more
time and energy to Mary than to God.
Therein lies the problem. Many Catholics are devoted to Mary, and secondly devoted to God. Many
confide in Mary, when it is God who should be loved above all else.
Intercession as a belief has created a chasm between the believer and God. This is unnecessary because
Jesus himself says, “I abide in Him, and Him in me..”*** It was not a simple companionship, nor a
consistency of presence, but God is within us just as Jesus Christ is within us.
The reason for this great devotion, and fervor for Mary, are a series of apparitions from St. Dominic, for
the recitation of the Rosary, as well as the apparitions of Mary leading to that of Our Lady of Fatima.
They call it different names because to use the real name would be to invoke the real identity of that
name. Just as God’s name is holy.
“hallowed be thy name” ***
This is a sacred mathematical configuration of energy that this word invokes. In words and thoughts,
there is power. The heart of said saint or religious personality is therefore a deviation from that person
or in this case, from the true Mary. It is a different word containing a different identity altogether.
If it is a different entity, we look to the Gospel to be our guide. In the first letter of John it says, “By this
you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from
God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus is (not-ommited) from God; and this is the spirit of
the antichrist of which you have heard that is coming, and now it is already in the world.”
If you will notice, rarely do these apparitions recommend a return to God. Often they recommend a
devotion to “The immaculate heart of Mary” else the “Sacred heart of Jesus”
The apparition is asking for devotion to itself. Quoting from the Account of Fatima by the Congregation
of the Doctrine of Faith, the apparition says, “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.
To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.”
Our lady of Lourdes accounts, “Bernadette related that the apparition asked for prayer and penitence
for the conversion of sinners.”
Saint Marguerite Marie Alocoque was reqested to meditate on the agony of Jesus in the Garden
as well as to consecrate herself and others to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The last part of the
prayer given her says,”
the grace of having my name written in Your Heart,
for in You (the sacred heart) I desire to place all my happiness and glory,
living and dying in bondage to You.
Amen.
Sister Faustina received this message,” "Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the
signature: "Jesus, I trust in You". I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then
throughout the world. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish”
Devotion, according to the Merriam Webster as it is understood by the common man is “an act of prayer
or private worship- usually plural” and, “the fact or state of being ardently dedicated and loyal”
It is a deviation to our one true commandment and obligation as Catholics: to love God above all else.
Just for emphasis, I quote Jesus “ The foremost is, ‘HEAR O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND
WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH’
The second is this, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment
greater than these.”
True devotion must belong to Him, and Him alone, with our whole heart. When we spend more time
praying to another entity or name, even if it is allegedly closely related to God, it is not God.
When asked how to inherit eternal life, Jesus references the old scripture of Exodus, ”You know the
commandments, ‘DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE
WITNESS, DO not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’ ”Mark 10:19
The same commandments put primacy also on the commandment , “I am the LORD your God,
who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3
“You shall have no other gods before[a]
me” In Exodus 20:2 (before can also mean *besides)
God’s identity is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus asks for the love of the Father to
come down to us as it does to Him. (high priest prayer)*** Though they are consubstantial, Jesus
recognizes the difference of identity between Him and the Father. What more between God and the
Immaculate Heart or a body part of any particular deity?
The deviation of faith is astounding in magnitude, counting the number of apparitions as well as the Hail
Mary’s that are prayed in contrast for Our Fathers. Note that the love and example of Mary and the
saints are not in question, but rather, the importance that we give them, and the practice of intercession
itself.
The apparitions also promise everything from miracles, salvation and protection from war and
destruction, for the prayers and devotion to them. They say that prayer, specifically to them, is the
answer.
"Pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace in the
world . . . for she alone can save it." (Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917)
"God has placed peace in her hands, and it is from the Immaculate Heart that men must ask
it." (Jacinta, shortly before her death)
"Jesus wishes to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world. I promise
salvation to those who embrace it." (June 13, 1917, Friday. Our Lady of Fatima)
On the contrary, Jesus has told us already how to pray as mentioned above. Moreover, He states:
Matthew 6:7 “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard
because of their many words.”
It is not possible that others are the way with which we achieve contact with God because Jesus has
declared, “I am the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the father but through me”John 14:6
If the apparition seeks to mediate between ourselves and Jesus, it is a moot point. Moreover, Jesus
affirms His presence:
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
John 15:7
Abiding in each other means there is no need for an interpreter or conduit. He could not have stated the
closeness of each person to Jesus more plainly.
Matthew 19:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
If no one comes to the father except through Jesus, and if we follow His commandments and believe in
Him, then Jesus shall abide in us; and that Jesus himself taught us how to pray, the relationship and
dynamic of interaction between us and God was created and sealed by Christ himself.
The relationship is encapsulated in The High Priest prayer of John chapter 17. (Please see full reference
for best understanding) Excerpts:
“And I am no more in this world and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee, Holy
Father, keep them in thy name which Thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as We are
one.”11
“Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.” 17
“I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they
may all be one even as Thou Father art in Me, and I in Thee, that they may also be in Us; that the world
may believe that Thou didst send me.” 20-21
Jesus asks those born of spirit, as well as those who believe in Him to be sanctified in the name, the
truth, glory, and the love between the Father and Son. He asks that we be one with Jesus and God, in
complete and perfect unity. In this way, through Jesus Christ alone, we gain entrance to eternal life.
This relationship is made present by Jesus, and holds fast for now and all eternity, every time we pray.
The very cornerstone that our faith as Catholics or Christians is the centrality of Jesus as our salvation.
Let it not be undone by apparitions.
Quoting from the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith on the Message of Fatima, “The criterion for
the truth and value of a private revelation is therefore its orientation to Christ himself. When it leads us
away from him, when it becomes independent of him or even presents itself as another and better plan
of salvation, more important than the Gospel, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit, who
guides us more deeply into the Gospel and not away from it.”
Let the Mother Church guide our people to righteousness according to Jesus’ words.
“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened, for these things must take place, but
it is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be
earthquakes in various kingdoms, there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of
birth pangs.” Mark 13:8
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Mark 13:31; Matthew 24:35
Most specially in the end of days, let us not deviate from the words our beloved Jesus has taught us. Let
us remain faithful and steadfast servants to His commandments.
On the apparitions
The apparitions that mislead our faith away from God are caused by fallen angels who are given
dominion over this world.
These fallen angels have no respite but seek momentary relief in the prayers of the faithful. It is a surge
of energy and a momentary connection to the light of God. In the prayer of the rosary, they are the ones
most in need of mercy. Their fate has been sealed by God to spend eternity in the lake of fire. They hope
that by the prayers of man, their fate may also be forgiven.
It is necessary to pray for the forgiveness of sin, because it is in this negative state that we meet them.
When one is abundant in love, one is closer to God and heavenly beings. They ask for penance because
in so doing, we put ourselves in the mental state of sin and supplication, which they can relate to or
reach.
In John, it is said,” I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s
sake.” Therefore, it is the work of Jesus that allows the forgiveness of sins. No one else.
Jesus never asked that we contain ourselves in an attitude of servitude, bondage or abject supplication.
He merely said, forgive:
Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Mattew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 9:6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . ."
Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home."
Clearly, the words of Fatima are false and misleading the faithful and devoted of Jesus Christ to worship
and pray to the apparition that may or may not be Mary.
It is His desire, His foremost commandment that we contain love, or devotion, for God alone.
Note that Our Lady of Fatima appears on Friday the 13th
accompanying an eclipse where darkness has
free reign. In the death of Jesus Christ, there was also an eclipse.
The Lady of Fatima shows Hell, but not heaven. This is because fallen angels have no access to heaven,
only hell.
The third vision speaks possibly of John Paul the second, or seeks for us to envision the selected 144,000
whom shall be gathered on a hill at the end of the world, dying under fire. They seek to create this
imagery for the human mind to believe that these things will occur. They are making lies and skewing
the prophecies of the Revelation to incite fear and dissention among the faithful.
They who are angels, belonging to a higher realm of heaven are envious of the gift of eternal life given
to these few humans.
Whatever the Lady of Fatima says is a mixture of lies and truths to mislead the devoted into the traps of
a misdirected faith.
After this all, my message is simply to implore the Catholic Church to return to faith in God and only
God. This and that there is only one way to salvation, and that is Jesus Christ.
If we believe in this, then let us stop misguiding our faithful into prayers for non Gods.
Of Graven Images
Secondly, we have created images of God, the saints and Jesus that are often the object of devotion,
prayers and platitudes.
In the Philippines, thousands prostate themselves on their knees weekly infront of the image of the
Black Nazarene, believing that their wishes will be granted. If it is, then they call it a miracle given to
them by the Black Nazarene. The worship has diverted from God, to a false idol.
There are religious tours where they visit different churches and statues of miraculous reputation. The
love and devotion of our faithful are pure, good and true, but are misled and directed toward idols of
wood or body parts of saints!
Just as Jesus previously referenced the 10 Commandments of Moses, we call to light the second
commandment:
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” Exodus 20:4
This is supported emphatically by
“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set
up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 26:1
Many other references about God despising the graven images in Deuteronomy, Judges, Kings, and
Leviticus are found. Note that in the commandment it is likeness of anything, even that of heaven
above. Usually I would not cite past laws, except that Jesus did call to mind the 10 Commandments.
Therefore, there is no power in these statues, save that of the world. The continuation of having these
statues perpetuate the ignorance of faith.
There are encyclicals that state that by praying to these statues, we pray to that whose name or identity
is on it. That admits to the fact that some do pray TO the statues. In itself, in light of previous Gospel,
any image in heaven or earth that is prayed to is idolatry. Secondly, if this causes the misdirection of
Christian faith, shouldn’t it then be stopped?
I use only the basis of God’s true word and public revelation. Let not my own humanity, or your
accumulation of power hinder understanding.
Again in Jesus’ words,
Mathew 23: 8-11
8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your teacher and you are all brothers.
9 And do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10 And do not be called leaders; for One is your leader, that is Christ.
11 but the greatest among you shall be your servant.
Severity of the Damage:
Our lady of Fatima asked that the whole world be consecrated to it. This is an offering of self, body mind
and soul, to her: She who is not God.
This was enacted by Pope John Paul the Second, when he consecrated the whole world of all eternity
into the hands of the Mother. “ The Holy Father desired to make more explicit during the Holy
Year of the Redemption the Act of Entrustment of 7 May 1981, which had been repeated in
Fatima on 13 May 1982. On 25 March 1984 in Saint Peter's Square, while recalling the fiat
uttered by Mary at the Annunciation, the Holy Father, in spiritual union with the Bishops of the
world, who had been convoked• beforehand, entrusted all men and women and all peoples to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in terms which recalled the heartfelt words spoken in 1981:
O Mother of all men and women, and of all peoples, you who know all their sufferings and their
hopes, you who have a mother's awareness of all the struggles between good and evil, between
light and darkness, which afflict the modern world, accept the cry which we, moved by the Holy
Spirit, address directly to your Heart. Embrace with the love of the Mother and Handmaid of the
Lord, this human world of ours, which we entrust and consecrate to you, for we are full of
concern for the earthly and eternal destiny of individuals and peoples.
In a special way we entrust and consecrate to you those individuals and nations which
particularly need to be thus entrusted and consecrated.
… The power of this consecrationlasts for all time and embraces all individuals, peoples and
nations
… How deeply we feel the need for the consecration of humanity and the world’our modern
world’in union with Christ himself! For the redeeming work of Christ must be shared in by the
world through the Church. (In union with Christ should be through Christ or TO Christ)
… From famine and war, deliver us. (Now Mary is being asked to deliver them from famine and
war!)
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. “
Countless other apparitions have asked for consecration, for shrines or temples to be built there,
because they would want to be worshipped. Even St. Marguerite was asking that the Church consecrate
the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
As Jesus says
They will cause to mislead you, even the devoted if possible”***
I ask that the whole world then be liberated from this consecration, and instead be consecrated to God,
Yahweh, our true God and father or Jesus or the Holy Spirit. I ask also that we lead our devoted back to
God, Jesus Christ and in constant communion with the Holy Spirit, who is the only one Jesus has left to
guide us from the most high.
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to
us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1 John 4:6
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give
the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Revelations 2:7
May the Holy Spirit Guide you and your choices.

Treatise of faith

  • 1. Disclaimer: I seek only to share this insight given to me, in order that God’s people may more closely commune with Him. Let the truth speak for itself, and may those who have ears, hear. Positive Entreaty on The Doctrine of Faith for Jesus Christ In all things relating to Catholicism and Faith, we use the Gospel, the Word of God as the final arbiter in all decisions. Most specially, we use the words of Jesus Christ because our faith as Christians relies on Christ. The Gospel is the public revelation of Christ, through it, we know Him more. John 8:31 “ Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,”If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” The primary and most important command of Jesus, and that of God as spoken through Jesus is: Matthew 22:37 37 And He said to them, “You shall love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind” 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, “You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself” 40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the prophets” The faith and eternal salvation also relies on a few other things as mentioned by Jesus: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” John 3:36 “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”John 6:53-55 Jesus said to them, “ I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” John John 6:35 and “Truly I say to you, He who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life.” John 7:47-48 Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, He cannot enter the Kingdom of God” John 3:5
  • 2. “He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. If you follow my commandments, you love me, and the …father loves you” John 14:24 It is therefore necessary to follow His word, most importantly His commandments to love, and to be baptized to achieve salvation. Other verses talk of salvation in passing, but Jesus clearly states to follow His commandments or God’s commandments that one should love God above all else. ON PRAYER Jesus teaches us how to pray Matthew 6:5-6 [Prayer] [6:9-13pp -- Lk 11:2-4] "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Luke 11:2 “When you pray, say: Father hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread.” In Matthew 6:13” And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever Amen.” Jesus also tells us how effective prayer is: “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12 1 John 3:22 “and whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.” Ask and you shall receive, what father gives a stone to those who ask for bread*** Righteous/Just man’s prayer is strong*** Mark 11:23-24 “Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you” Note that there was never a mention of intercession. Only in latter Gospels such as Acts, and in the accounts of saints do they mention intercession.
  • 3. There is also no account of His recommending, condoning, or otherwise stipulating that one should pray to His Mother. There is no account of Jesus recommending, condoning or otherwise stipulating that we should build statues in His likeness in remembrance of Him. The only act that he asks to do in remembering Him and being united with Him, is to break bread with His body and blood. ON HIS MOTHER, MARY There was no account that she was taken up bodily. However, if she were, she shares the fate with a few others such as Enoch, Seth, Elijah and other prophets. Indeed she was hailed by the angel Gabriel when it announced that she was selected amongst all to bear Jesus Christ. However, it was more that she was singularly selected but not that she was worshipped. Today the legions of followers of Mary, and devotees of the Most Holy Rosary are so many that when taken into account that we have 50 Hail Marys for every 5 Our Fathers, means that we devote more time and energy to Mary than to God. Therein lies the problem. Many Catholics are devoted to Mary, and secondly devoted to God. Many confide in Mary, when it is God who should be loved above all else. Intercession as a belief has created a chasm between the believer and God. This is unnecessary because Jesus himself says, “I abide in Him, and Him in me..”*** It was not a simple companionship, nor a consistency of presence, but God is within us just as Jesus Christ is within us. The reason for this great devotion, and fervor for Mary, are a series of apparitions from St. Dominic, for the recitation of the Rosary, as well as the apparitions of Mary leading to that of Our Lady of Fatima. They call it different names because to use the real name would be to invoke the real identity of that name. Just as God’s name is holy. “hallowed be thy name” *** This is a sacred mathematical configuration of energy that this word invokes. In words and thoughts, there is power. The heart of said saint or religious personality is therefore a deviation from that person or in this case, from the true Mary. It is a different word containing a different identity altogether. If it is a different entity, we look to the Gospel to be our guide. In the first letter of John it says, “By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus is (not-ommited) from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist of which you have heard that is coming, and now it is already in the world.”
  • 4. If you will notice, rarely do these apparitions recommend a return to God. Often they recommend a devotion to “The immaculate heart of Mary” else the “Sacred heart of Jesus” The apparition is asking for devotion to itself. Quoting from the Account of Fatima by the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith, the apparition says, “You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.” Our lady of Lourdes accounts, “Bernadette related that the apparition asked for prayer and penitence for the conversion of sinners.” Saint Marguerite Marie Alocoque was reqested to meditate on the agony of Jesus in the Garden as well as to consecrate herself and others to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The last part of the prayer given her says,” the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You (the sacred heart) I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You. Amen. Sister Faustina received this message,” "Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You". I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish” Devotion, according to the Merriam Webster as it is understood by the common man is “an act of prayer or private worship- usually plural” and, “the fact or state of being ardently dedicated and loyal” It is a deviation to our one true commandment and obligation as Catholics: to love God above all else. Just for emphasis, I quote Jesus “ The foremost is, ‘HEAR O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH’ The second is this, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” True devotion must belong to Him, and Him alone, with our whole heart. When we spend more time praying to another entity or name, even if it is allegedly closely related to God, it is not God. When asked how to inherit eternal life, Jesus references the old scripture of Exodus, ”You know the commandments, ‘DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, DO not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’ ”Mark 10:19
  • 5. The same commandments put primacy also on the commandment , “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me” In Exodus 20:2 (before can also mean *besides) God’s identity is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus asks for the love of the Father to come down to us as it does to Him. (high priest prayer)*** Though they are consubstantial, Jesus recognizes the difference of identity between Him and the Father. What more between God and the Immaculate Heart or a body part of any particular deity? The deviation of faith is astounding in magnitude, counting the number of apparitions as well as the Hail Mary’s that are prayed in contrast for Our Fathers. Note that the love and example of Mary and the saints are not in question, but rather, the importance that we give them, and the practice of intercession itself. The apparitions also promise everything from miracles, salvation and protection from war and destruction, for the prayers and devotion to them. They say that prayer, specifically to them, is the answer. "Pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace in the world . . . for she alone can save it." (Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917) "God has placed peace in her hands, and it is from the Immaculate Heart that men must ask it." (Jacinta, shortly before her death) "Jesus wishes to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world. I promise salvation to those who embrace it." (June 13, 1917, Friday. Our Lady of Fatima) On the contrary, Jesus has told us already how to pray as mentioned above. Moreover, He states: Matthew 6:7 “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.” It is not possible that others are the way with which we achieve contact with God because Jesus has declared, “I am the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the father but through me”John 14:6 If the apparition seeks to mediate between ourselves and Jesus, it is a moot point. Moreover, Jesus affirms His presence: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7 Abiding in each other means there is no need for an interpreter or conduit. He could not have stated the closeness of each person to Jesus more plainly. Matthew 19:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
  • 6. If no one comes to the father except through Jesus, and if we follow His commandments and believe in Him, then Jesus shall abide in us; and that Jesus himself taught us how to pray, the relationship and dynamic of interaction between us and God was created and sealed by Christ himself. The relationship is encapsulated in The High Priest prayer of John chapter 17. (Please see full reference for best understanding) Excerpts: “And I am no more in this world and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee, Holy Father, keep them in thy name which Thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as We are one.”11 “Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.” 17 “I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one even as Thou Father art in Me, and I in Thee, that they may also be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.” 20-21 Jesus asks those born of spirit, as well as those who believe in Him to be sanctified in the name, the truth, glory, and the love between the Father and Son. He asks that we be one with Jesus and God, in complete and perfect unity. In this way, through Jesus Christ alone, we gain entrance to eternal life. This relationship is made present by Jesus, and holds fast for now and all eternity, every time we pray. The very cornerstone that our faith as Catholics or Christians is the centrality of Jesus as our salvation. Let it not be undone by apparitions. Quoting from the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith on the Message of Fatima, “The criterion for the truth and value of a private revelation is therefore its orientation to Christ himself. When it leads us away from him, when it becomes independent of him or even presents itself as another and better plan of salvation, more important than the Gospel, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit, who guides us more deeply into the Gospel and not away from it.” Let the Mother Church guide our people to righteousness according to Jesus’ words. “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened, for these things must take place, but it is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various kingdoms, there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” Mark 13:8 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Mark 13:31; Matthew 24:35 Most specially in the end of days, let us not deviate from the words our beloved Jesus has taught us. Let us remain faithful and steadfast servants to His commandments. On the apparitions
  • 7. The apparitions that mislead our faith away from God are caused by fallen angels who are given dominion over this world. These fallen angels have no respite but seek momentary relief in the prayers of the faithful. It is a surge of energy and a momentary connection to the light of God. In the prayer of the rosary, they are the ones most in need of mercy. Their fate has been sealed by God to spend eternity in the lake of fire. They hope that by the prayers of man, their fate may also be forgiven. It is necessary to pray for the forgiveness of sin, because it is in this negative state that we meet them. When one is abundant in love, one is closer to God and heavenly beings. They ask for penance because in so doing, we put ourselves in the mental state of sin and supplication, which they can relate to or reach. In John, it is said,” I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.” Therefore, it is the work of Jesus that allows the forgiveness of sins. No one else. Jesus never asked that we contain ourselves in an attitude of servitude, bondage or abject supplication. He merely said, forgive: Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Mattew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 9:6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . ." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." Clearly, the words of Fatima are false and misleading the faithful and devoted of Jesus Christ to worship and pray to the apparition that may or may not be Mary. It is His desire, His foremost commandment that we contain love, or devotion, for God alone. Note that Our Lady of Fatima appears on Friday the 13th accompanying an eclipse where darkness has free reign. In the death of Jesus Christ, there was also an eclipse. The Lady of Fatima shows Hell, but not heaven. This is because fallen angels have no access to heaven, only hell. The third vision speaks possibly of John Paul the second, or seeks for us to envision the selected 144,000 whom shall be gathered on a hill at the end of the world, dying under fire. They seek to create this imagery for the human mind to believe that these things will occur. They are making lies and skewing the prophecies of the Revelation to incite fear and dissention among the faithful. They who are angels, belonging to a higher realm of heaven are envious of the gift of eternal life given to these few humans.
  • 8. Whatever the Lady of Fatima says is a mixture of lies and truths to mislead the devoted into the traps of a misdirected faith. After this all, my message is simply to implore the Catholic Church to return to faith in God and only God. This and that there is only one way to salvation, and that is Jesus Christ. If we believe in this, then let us stop misguiding our faithful into prayers for non Gods. Of Graven Images Secondly, we have created images of God, the saints and Jesus that are often the object of devotion, prayers and platitudes. In the Philippines, thousands prostate themselves on their knees weekly infront of the image of the Black Nazarene, believing that their wishes will be granted. If it is, then they call it a miracle given to them by the Black Nazarene. The worship has diverted from God, to a false idol. There are religious tours where they visit different churches and statues of miraculous reputation. The love and devotion of our faithful are pure, good and true, but are misled and directed toward idols of wood or body parts of saints! Just as Jesus previously referenced the 10 Commandments of Moses, we call to light the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” Exodus 20:4 This is supported emphatically by “Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 26:1 Many other references about God despising the graven images in Deuteronomy, Judges, Kings, and Leviticus are found. Note that in the commandment it is likeness of anything, even that of heaven above. Usually I would not cite past laws, except that Jesus did call to mind the 10 Commandments. Therefore, there is no power in these statues, save that of the world. The continuation of having these statues perpetuate the ignorance of faith. There are encyclicals that state that by praying to these statues, we pray to that whose name or identity is on it. That admits to the fact that some do pray TO the statues. In itself, in light of previous Gospel, any image in heaven or earth that is prayed to is idolatry. Secondly, if this causes the misdirection of Christian faith, shouldn’t it then be stopped? I use only the basis of God’s true word and public revelation. Let not my own humanity, or your accumulation of power hinder understanding.
  • 9. Again in Jesus’ words, Mathew 23: 8-11 8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your teacher and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called leaders; for One is your leader, that is Christ. 11 but the greatest among you shall be your servant. Severity of the Damage: Our lady of Fatima asked that the whole world be consecrated to it. This is an offering of self, body mind and soul, to her: She who is not God. This was enacted by Pope John Paul the Second, when he consecrated the whole world of all eternity into the hands of the Mother. “ The Holy Father desired to make more explicit during the Holy Year of the Redemption the Act of Entrustment of 7 May 1981, which had been repeated in Fatima on 13 May 1982. On 25 March 1984 in Saint Peter's Square, while recalling the fiat uttered by Mary at the Annunciation, the Holy Father, in spiritual union with the Bishops of the world, who had been convoked• beforehand, entrusted all men and women and all peoples to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in terms which recalled the heartfelt words spoken in 1981: O Mother of all men and women, and of all peoples, you who know all their sufferings and their hopes, you who have a mother's awareness of all the struggles between good and evil, between light and darkness, which afflict the modern world, accept the cry which we, moved by the Holy Spirit, address directly to your Heart. Embrace with the love of the Mother and Handmaid of the Lord, this human world of ours, which we entrust and consecrate to you, for we are full of concern for the earthly and eternal destiny of individuals and peoples. In a special way we entrust and consecrate to you those individuals and nations which particularly need to be thus entrusted and consecrated. … The power of this consecrationlasts for all time and embraces all individuals, peoples and nations … How deeply we feel the need for the consecration of humanity and the world’our modern world’in union with Christ himself! For the redeeming work of Christ must be shared in by the world through the Church. (In union with Christ should be through Christ or TO Christ)
  • 10. … From famine and war, deliver us. (Now Mary is being asked to deliver them from famine and war!) From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. “ Countless other apparitions have asked for consecration, for shrines or temples to be built there, because they would want to be worshipped. Even St. Marguerite was asking that the Church consecrate the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As Jesus says They will cause to mislead you, even the devoted if possible”*** I ask that the whole world then be liberated from this consecration, and instead be consecrated to God, Yahweh, our true God and father or Jesus or the Holy Spirit. I ask also that we lead our devoted back to God, Jesus Christ and in constant communion with the Holy Spirit, who is the only one Jesus has left to guide us from the most high. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1 John 4:6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Revelations 2:7 May the Holy Spirit Guide you and your choices.
