#132 - Deadly War and the Future Destruction of Paris – Very Few Will Survive - A Corrupt Clergy Will be Punished

 
Ecstasy Date August 9, 1881


"My children,” said the Virgin Mary, “when crime is at its highest, when the subjects of the formidable enemy will take their place at the Centre (i.e. Paris), the terror and the hand of my Son will already be affecting the walls of this city so guilty - eventhough there are good people - but they will be victims of crimes and iniquities.

My children, do you know the number of those who will escape this infernal deadly war? This, I dare not utter. (i.e., because there will be so few.)

My children, all Christians who will not abscond to hide in secret places, those who prefer to water the earth with their blood instead of going to a country at peace ... the number of those to be protected is written in the eternal throne. (I.e very few of the faithful who decide to stay behind in Paris and not flee to somewhere safe will be protected.) When I look at this figure (i.e. sum), I can no longer be consoled and my heart is pierced with a thousand swords. (i.e., because those who will be protected will be very small.) My children, there will not escape one hundred, no, not one hundred in the middle of this huge guilty city (Paris) ... Count less than twelve, you will have the true figure.

(I.e. The French translation means count twelve less from the number one-hundred – only 88 will survive the destruction of the center of Paris.)


Our Lady:Never was there a pain greater for me. The men will complete up to their last limits the righteous anger of my Son. While these unfortunates rush all my people to the grave, then the world will be under the vengeful lightning of Heaven. (I.e, will the strange thunder and lightening foretold in other prophecy happen during or after this persecution / war against Christians?  See post #59 St. Joseph - WARNINGS: A GREAT APOSTASY - Strange Lighting ,Thunder, Plagues ) My children, work on Sundays! ... Soon they will see no more than a few Christians attend services! The confessionals will be empty ... My children, it is blasphemy that brings hell on earth. I am in sorrow for the clergy. I see that, in a great amount and more of priests, the mind (or spirit) weakens every day. Many pastors are no longer, as were many of our priests, determined to die in honour of their sacred ministry." (I.e. They will no longer die for the Faith, and, they will not be willing to die if necessary to keep the seal of the Confessional intact as would be expected. This will be revealed o Marie-Julie in the ecstasys for September, click here. )

Ecstasy Date, August 9, 1881

(Our Lady voices her complaints to Marie-Julie - possibly a more detailed version of the text above.)


Our Lady: "My children, in this unfortunate time, days of abstinence are no longer kept."

"My children, work on Sundays is making progress every day." (i.e., not that she approves, she means that the worldly acceptance of servile work on Sundays will make rapid progress day by day.)

"My children, it is blasphemy that brings hell on Earth."

"My children, my last plaint, that which puts the sword at the entrance of hearts! I complain of the clergy... My victims, servants and maids, I am well in sorrow for the clergy; it is for Me the greatest sorrow only because for them pardons are so hard to obtain. The priest's life is so high in grace, the gifts he possesses are so powerful that, if they were known, everyone would fall prostrate at their their feet and they would speak with the same respect as if talking to My Son. "


Marie-Julie: "It is true, dear Mother, but the dignity of the priest is no longer respected."


Lady. "But my daughter, many (priests) do not know how to respect themselves, words that tear the heart of the High Priest (i.e Jesus), my children, I see that the spirit weakens every day. The thought of the present time makes it difficult to choose, the side they prefer to follow. My children, many pastors are not, as many of our priests, determined to die in their honour and sacred ministry. They no longer know the true royalty of the souls of our fathers; for the great part, their thoughts, their opinions are for those who now govern this poor country." (i.e., a revelation that the clergy at the time were supporting the republican / secular government of France and were against the restoration of the absolute monarchy.)


Our Lady is crying, saying these words. She continues:


"What a shame ere long will be on the priestly family. What a disgrace for the overthrow of the faith and (to) attach (themselves?) to the laws of these unfortunates of the Center (I.e. The government) that make so much evil and that wants to make the home of My Saints a theatre, a place of hellish abomination. My children, there is only our priests (who oppose it?), the Bishops, the biggest number is in that direction (i.e., following the hellish regime); there is hardly any from the other one (the side of faithful priests), so that it is almost, almost as if there is needed only one second to name them all."


Marie-Julie: “O Good Mother, it is painful when you think of it!”


Our Lady. "O My children, I know well to whom I speak. Oh that my words were heard outside, it would weaken many people because of the weakness of the clergy." (i.e., Many faithful people might lose their courage when hearing these warnings about how weak the clergy has become.)

"My children, do you believe, can you believe that Centre, South, in the East, (In Paris, the South and East of France) the Bishops will abandon the Church without regret, without thinking of anything other than 'every man for himself', in the epoch in which we are (in)?"

"My children, in all the new Bishops, there is not an entire generation of faith, there is above all a belief in the weakness against My Son; they will never be forgiven. They do not deny His powers, but they do not admit that My Son uses the earth to make (all) pass towards the good, the salvation and protection of souls (the social reign of Our Lord). (i.e., They do not believe that Our Lord uses everything on earth for His purpose of saving souls, including natural phenomena and disasters?) Oh, they will be punished for their unbelief and the punishment is in the Hands of My Son. The clergy is weak; the French clergy, a great number shall turn towards the perishable side (i.e., the evil side). The French clergy will be punished because of its levities; shining punishments without measure in the hands of My Son. My children, the French clergy is more responsible because it is more educated (i.e., in spiritual matters), religion is more extensive (with them) than any other country. Catholicism has existed in France when other countries were not very Catholic; for that, they will be punished more severely. But everywhere, the clergy is bad everywhere, my children!"
