#89 St. Deusdedit – Prophecy of Pius IX's Canonization – a Warning to Pope Leo XIII and Angelic Pontiff Prophecy




St. Deusdedit gives details of his struggles – Prophecy of Pius IX's Canonization: it will stop calamities destined to strike Rome – a Warning to Pope Leo XIII and Angelic Pontiff Prophecy – Lesson on Spiritual Detachment from All things, How to live Heaven on Earth





Ecstasy of October 24, 1878


I am Pope St. Dieudonné. (Also known as Deusdedit and Adeodatus I) I come to say a word on behalf of Our Lord.


Dear brothers, we suffer everywhere and the cross is seeded under our steps. It rises like a great harvest, it alone blooms at all times. Neither winter nor the ice stops its flowering. I ruled on a Pontifical Throne, I ruled in peace, I ruled in pain. There is always two steps: the summer and winter. I suffered cruelly for the support and the cause of the Church. At every instant we talked and we cried. The storm and the disorders have risen against the Church and its Head. But I did not falter an instant. I governed the Church of God with tears.


I myself asked for the support and comfort (i.e.for the Church?). But all vanished at my word. Everything seemed to run away to allow all the cruel enemies of God to approach, to break the Church and its Throne. I strongly maintained the Holy Church and my duty, seriously threatened. I heard the whistle of the instruments of death all around my prison. Armed with the Crucifix and the statue of the Queen of Heaven, I conquered, I won over my weakness. I was victorious after a terrible struggle.


Almost all the representatives of God have suffered and have been martyrs, held prisoner. Let us pray for our Brother and Father who reigns at the moment (i.e., Pope Leo XIII reigned during the time of this ecstasy). The pain and grief hanging over the Church and the Holy See. The venerated remains of the man who died after so much pain and tears and after a long captivity of pain, tears and imprisonment, (i.e Pius IX) are able to provide, by the force of his holiness, the brilliant visible miracle for the one that currently reigns.”


(Note: Pius IX was forced to flee to Gaeta from 1848 to 1850 and then later considered himself a prisoner in the Vatican to protest against the confiscation of the Papal States. He died in 1878. See post #44 - Prophecy of the Papacy - A Pope in Prison   Of interest, it seems St. Deusdedit is predicting Pius IX would cause a miracle to console Leo XIII. What it was is currently unknown, it could have been a private miracle, the story of which may one day come to light.)



St. Deusdedit continues: “For the holy Pope Pius IX will be elevated one day to a very high sanctity and this sanctity of love and tenderness will stop terrible calamities that are reserved for the Roman city. (I.e. a prediction Pius IX would be canonised, he has already been declared Blessed since 2,000 AD. Apparently, his canonisation will prevent a terrible calamity from striking Rome.)


St. Deusdedit: "Today, in this city, (Rome?) we hear deaf sounds, we see in Heaven these preparations and these arrangements under the odious government of this man, this race, which he has already made suffer so much, so much wailing. Apparently, he promised to support, defend, and provide the reinforcement and support for the captive martyr. But in the bottom of his heart, he thinks otherwise. In the bottom of his heart, a dark secret is hidden and is veiled from the eyes of humans but not those of God!”

:::::::::

Note:“This man” this could be a double prophecy:

    First prophecy: about a government official who was promising assistance but secretly plotting against Leo XIII. Leo XIII had many struggles to contend with regarding the anti-clerical government of Rome and in Italy. Wikipedia gives the following information: “In light of climate hostile to the Church, Leo continued the policies of Pius IX towards Italy, without major modifications. In his relations with the Italian state, Leo XIII continued the Papacy's self-imposed incarceration in the Vatican stance and continued to insist that Italian Catholics should not vote in Italian elections or hold elected office. (...) He had to defend the freedom of the Church against what Catholics considered Italian persecutions and attacks in the area of education, expropriation and violation of Catholic Churches, legal measures against the Church and brutal attacks, culminating in anticlerical groups attempting to throw the body of the deceased Pope Pius IX into the Tiber river on 13 July 1881. The Pope even considered moving his residence to Trieste or Salzburg, two cities in Austria, an idea that the Emperor Franz Joseph I gently rejected."


    Second prophecy: and this could be a prediction concerning the Angelic Pontiff who will also suffer imprisonment and a spiritual martyrdom like Pius IX and Leo XIII. He will have allies that will play him false.

::::::::::

St. Deusdedit continues: “Dear brothers, we have nothing to do but pray and submit for the hour of God is determined. Every man is no more than a grain of dust. To make a miracle of peace and reconciliation in all these threatened powers, (I.e. to bring peace in the Church) do not count, do not rely on the arm of flesh because there is only God who can do what He had promised to set free those powers threatened, divided, revolted.


Now, a word of encouragement and love of God.

Dear brothers and sisters, you also had the experience of earth and of Heaven. You searched the earth for that which to console you and you have found grief, bitterness and pain. You have relied on Heaven and you have found a powerful strength and divine consolations that revived in you in the deepest agony, I mean suffering, despair and pain. Nothing, on earth, can truly console the man who loves God richly and liberally. (I.e only love of God alone can bring true consolation.) Is it those weak creatures who are steeped in a little dust and reign on earth for one hour? Is this the strong soul that will find happiness and love? No, it disgusts the soul. The heart feels a repugnance. The rest of the body does not seek and tries to enter (happiness?) by ties and friendship.


If you want to save a lot (of effort), if you want to possess Heaven on earth, flee creatures, flee conversation, stay away from their presence and put yourself in the presence of Him who is Almighty and Eternal. Our souls are suffering from mortal attachments. The crying of the soul is like a pure gold that spreads before the Lord as the aroma of the sweetest perfume. God's love is so powerful, so strong, so united, so sweet and fragrant that to withdraw the soul from the love of God is like plunging it into the mud and corrupt water.


Follow this road of love, live (as) solitaires in love, solitary in the presence of God. It is in solitude that the Shepherd saw Heaven open and the sheep contemplate its beauty. I compare the love of creatures to bird lime because once they are rooted in this mad love that is without merit or profit, they can not withdraw, it is stuck on all sides, the clothes themselves are stuck.

Next sentence, closest translation: All it takes is something very little to become an attachment that is made by human hands. (I.e. even the little things of the earth can become an attachment if we allow them.) One keeps, by this attachment, their soul and heart in deprivation. By this (earthly) love, they hold the gates of Heaven closed ... I am not defending (against) charity, (I.e. because we do need things) on the contrary, but I do not like this attachment, these supports that are only posts of earth. (I.e. stakes tying us to earth. We must be careful not to allow even necessary things of earth tie us down.)

Live in love, sigh to see Love. Glide in love like an eagle that, for strength to rise, approaches the rays of the sun. Be like it, imitate it. We are on the earth to fly to God, to love God and to live His love.

Courage, dear brothers and sisters in the cross! But the fruit will be so beautiful in heaven, once entered, you will wish to be human again to suffer on earth as Heaven is so beautiful, Heaven is so sweet, the happiness of heaven is great! I leave you at the foot of the Cross in the loving tenderness of Jesus and his Sacred and Adorable Wounds that are sources where your souls draw strength …

O Crux Ave, it is at the foot of the Cross where God's love reigns and the happiness of souls ...”

Note:

A Roman by birth, Saint Deusdedit (St. Adeodatus I) became pope in 615 AD. During his pontificate a pestilence raged in Rome and he worked to relieve the plague-striken. In all ancient Benedictine menologies, he is called a Benedictine monk, but there is no evidence of this. Feast Day Nov. 8

The Webmasters of the “Sanctuary / Friend of Marie-Julie Website” also remind us that: “… the seventh century was a difficult period for the Church as it began to establish its autonomy while new governments formed from the remnants of the larger Empires after their collapse. After waves of persecution of the early centuries, after the great storm of heresies, after the barbarian invasions, the Ship of St. Peter held fast. But other dangers loomed on the horizon: Islam and the ambitions of the powerful of this world. St. Deusdedit, (also known as St. Adeodatus I), was one of the first twenty popes who ruled the Church during the seventh century. Do not forget them! They do not forget us, as this ecstasy shows.”

#88 St. Primus - Prophecy of a BLOODTHIRSY CENTURY of Diabolical Inventions


St. Primus gives a dire prophecy of a bloodthirsty century with diabolical inventions that once again foretells Pope Leo XIII's vision of 'Satan's Century'.





Ecstasy of October 23, 1878


I am Saint Primus, martyred with St. Félicien. I was martyred by the hand of the famous emperors who made so many martyrs. I was martyred for refusing to associate with those miserable and impious idolaters, and for refusing to not believe in Jesus Christ. Saint Felician was martyred in a different way. He was beheaded. First, I was seized and I was introduced to the book on which weak Christians committed their souls to Hell by signing and renouncing Jesus Christ and Heaven. As soon as the servants of the furious Emperor presented me the pen and the book, I said aloud: "No, I will not renounce my God, I will never condemn his Church. I do not want to lose my soul."


Then all the Christians who had apostatized rushed upon me with rage and vengeance. They pierced my veins, especially those of my heart and chest, and with my blood they wrote on the book of Satan. But it was not by my hand or by my will, I was innocent. Then the Emperor ordered me to drink the blood of their idolatries, otherwise I would be pierced by the sword. I objected and said that I did not want to stain my soul with the blood of demons. The Emperor had me pierced anew with arrows.


(Note: My translation could be incorrect but he continues on to say:) I was the first (martyr) to be pierced with arrows. I was also the first to be put to death by the double-edged sword that spilled so much Christian blood.


The Emperor then had my body removed saying it was a plague and a foul stench because he did not like Christian blood. ... I was dragged out of sight of the emperor and was thrown into a deep pit where I (remained) for several days. But Christians who knew the place, they removed me and gave me burial.


Now a word on behalf of Our Lord.


Our adorable Lord has Himself prepared a large number of martyrs on earth by suffering and pains of all kinds. These (souls) are very advanced. They have made great progress in the Holy Will of God. Under the emperors, the land was thirsty for the blood of Christians. Today men are thirsty, Lucifer is thirsty, the earth is thirsty and souls are hungry for flesh and blood! The earth has been so well watered with the blood of martyrs in every age!


Dear Brothers of the Cross, look at this epoch as a remarkable century, when the earth drinks, and the pavements, streets and fields, the blood of the true Christian and also the blood of the bad Christian. Their blood will mix, but their odour is distinctive. The name of Jesus Christ will be written in the blood of true Christians while the rage of men and devils cry fiercely in the blood of the wicked and in that of the perverted and soiled Christian.


Dear brothers, in pain, there will be in this century, many emperors provided with instruments of new invention. Every day, there will be held a diabolical council about these inventions of deadly weapons. But do not fear these barbaric instruments for the power of God can paralyse these corrupt members. Here is what (is being) prepared (by) the agents of the most famous emperors. Here are their designs and their wishes:

They are preparing to say (or declare) aloud to have an end of the "rebels", to unite them all together and make them march in battalions to their temples, 'where they like to say,' they add, 'that their God resides'. They want to achieve the martyrdom of Christians as much as possible in the temple of God and around these walls built with the stone of the Divine Power that has stood every epoch and that will stand still in this century, despite the cruel barbarity.

:::::::::::

We will interrupt the text with an observation / interpretation: St. Primus mentions 'in this century' and 'look at this epoch as a terrible century' when 'new inventions' will come about – not only could this be an indication of the years 1878 to 1978 judging from the date of the ecstasy, but could also refer to 'Satan's Century' that would soon be foretold by Pope Leo XIII, a vision that had not happened yet when this ecstasy took place. (See post #71 St. Gregory the Great – Prophecy Echoing Leo XIII's vision to Come)


 

We must also remember Bl Catherine Emmrich's prophecy that Satan would be let loose about 50 to 60 years before the year 2,000 AD, but that he would prepare for that event 'a time and a time' before then according to her. Notice the age of machines suddenly expanded on a vast scale even before the 50 to 60 years, the early 1900s would see the invention of the airplane and the advancement in weaponry that would be used during WW I and would be further developed during WW2, especially the atomic bomb.


(Image right: descration of churches / religious objects during the Spanish civil war.)


St. Primus warns Marie-Julie Jahenny a time of genocide is coming, when evil leaders will plot in secret using the pretext of stopping rebellion to round up Christians, (Catholics), and march them into churches where they will be martyred, in the places where the Blessed Sacrament resides. These evil agents will mock our belief in the Blessed Sacrament. The“walls built with stone of divine power” referred to must represent the Pope and the clergy, i.e., the unity of the Catholic faith which has weathered every persecution and will never fail. This could be a double-prediction of what eventually happened when Socialism / Communism spread throughout the world and churches were closed and desecrated, from Portugal, Russia, to Spain, to Mexico, etc. under the pretext of granting 'Freedom' to the people. Christians and religious were rounded up and slaughtered. It will happen again as Marie-Julie received warnings of the brutality that will devastate Paris before the return of the Great Monarch. Already, we can see the Leftist agenda of labelling Christians and conservatives as 'intolerant' and 'fascists': is it possible that if any protest is made against these unjust accusations it will be portrayed as social rebellion as a pretext to persecute Christians? This in addition to the prophecy that Marie-Julie also received that "France would become Muslim and deny the divinity of Christ" - indicating militant Islam may also become another agent used to persecute the faithful.

Continuation of the text:

::::::::::

St. Primus: “This is a project, but God judges differently! Indeed, among those who believe they make so many victims, many have succumbed at the moment of the beautiful finish.” (I may have translated that last sentence incorrectly: apparently, the saint says that many who set out to make victims become converts in the end when they see the grace-filled death of many martyrs.)


St. Primus: “Dear Brothers of the Cross, the inventions of hell will begin. They have already begun. But if they come to you, keep your faith and your steadfastness. May your eyes, accustomed to looking at Heaven and heavenly things will not bear these horrible visible inventions that you will also be presented with to (make you) bend under oath. But this course is not much (or a cause) to fear, because they are dispersed supporters (or henchmen). It will be easy to see the end because your lands will remain closed. They will not be open to the looting of the awful pillage of sacrilegious disorder. (I.e. a reiteration that Brittany will be protected.)


If I speak too loudly and too much is because it is necessary to prevent and to warn of all the preparations and secret commitments that plot and that go enter into a force for freedom. (i.e., using the cause of Liberty as a pretext?) To revive your courage, brothers of the Cross do not leave your Crucifix which is a precious and divine book where one draws sublime words of to sustain your courage and to safeguard your Faith. Our Lord made powerful barriers to the gates of His garden of protection. Brittany is where the Lord plants high barriers. The profanation and sacrilegious murder will not pass. Right now, you are all working men and women. You work in the land of the Lord, either in suffering, or carrying your cross, or undergoing the insults and persecution. You are all working men and women employed by the One who controls everything, and who runs it all. You plough your souls and your hearts also. Our Lord gives you abundant graces and abundant blessings to be deposited in the field of your immortal souls. This crop grows in God's eyes. No matter if in the eyes of men it appears withered and dry.


Dear brothers, courage throughout this land of bitterness that is still a flower but soon will no longer be fulfilled and no longer then any emblem or flower or tree. It will be reduced and reversed, by the Justice of God, which men have attracted (upon them) by their crimes and disorder, it will be very hard and very painful for them. They will say: "It is my fault!"

Carry your cross. The climb is difficult. But once on top, you have nothing to fear. Here the blessed rewards await you and a fruitful harvest because you have suffered.”

Notes: Saint Primus was martyred with his brother St. Felician c. 297 AD. According to tradition, they were beheaded on the Via Nomentana under the Emperor Diocletian. They were both Roman citizens. Feast Day June 9.

#87 - St. Desiderius of Vienne – A Generous Martyrdom Releases the Soul from Purgatory – Expect to Suffer - The Cross is a Source of Spiritual Treasure


St. Desiderius of Vienne – A Generous Martyrdom Releases the Soul from Purgatory – Expect to Suffer - The Cross is a Source of Spiritual Treasure





Ecstasy date October 15, 1878



I am a saint Didier, (i.e. Desiderius) Bishop and Martyr of Vienne. I come to tell you a word on behalf of Our Lord.

I was martyred in defence of the Faith, defending the Holy Church and the honour of the Fathers of the Church. I was put to torture for the cause, so to speak in the prime of my ministry. I suffered greatly. But my courage did not betray me because by it was the glory or the loss of my soul. (i.e. he did not lose courage because this was a life and death matter of eternal glory or damnation. Despite the prospect of great suffering, the choice was really no choice at all when the assurance of eternal salvation is at hand.)


When I was condemned, my persecutors gave me a cross on the forehead, tearing my flesh with a sharp knife. After this initial pain, I was put to the torture and three times they put at my feet my episcopal cross so that I would deny my God and my faith. Immediately, I raised my eyes toward heaven, spread out my arms to my God. I told Him publicly, from the depths of my soul: "I am ready to have my body pass under the press and to be milled to Your glory!" This invocation ended up throwing rage into the hearts of my tormentors. There, I was crucified on a kind of iron plate. I was bound, chained and tortured and my body was torn to shreds with fury and rage. My martyrdom was so sweet that I had but one regret, that I would die only once for One I loved so much! Then my head was, for a few days, hung from a tree which was not far from my place of martyrdom and a few souls in the darkness, retrieved my head with respect and closed my eyes, that had adored my Saviour, descending on the Altar, in my dedicated hands. My body remained unburied for some time because the Christians were stoned as soon as they noticed (them perform) a work of charity. It was when the fury died down a little, a few souls collected the scattered remnants of my body and carried them in a shroud. I was finally laid to rest in Christian ground. That is a word about my martyrdom.


Dear brothers, if you could conceive the joy of my soul ascending to my God! Martyrdom frees the soul from Purgatory when it suffers generously.


Now a word on behalf of the Heavenly Bridegroom.


Dear Brothers in the same grace at the foot of the Holy Altar, we have enemies everywhere who work for the glory of our precious progress. (The saint is ironically pointing out that while evil enemies persecute God's people, these enemies are preparing for them more glory!) Rejoice, you who are on the stormy sea when the storm is brewing for a long time! Be brave to the end, because the Good Lord will decide the happiness of His children and also the terrible justice to the thankless souls who forget their benefits. Remember, dear brothers and sisters need to be milled (ground down) on earth as the dead to be resurrected in the pure glory of the earth which is a preparation for eternal glory. Allow yourself to be stoned, torn, insulted for the love of the Great King. Your reward will be beyond your expectations. We must thank, on your knees and the heart, your dear enemies for all the good they procure you, of all the honour that they give you on earth. (i.e. the glory they prepare for you in Heaven when they make you suffer while on the earth.) It is by this means they dig in the heart, a river of love that overflows from all sides. By this means we heal the wounds of the Bridegroom of Calvary.

Persecution existed at all times, but this epoch will be a passage and a remarkable flower for all to see who will be protected by the Bridegroom of Calvary …


Expect to suffer. This will be the beginning of your crowns and a beautiful preparation to receive your triumphant palm. For every soul on earth is a martyr. But love is so strong and so noble in your souls that all this suffering is a fertile seed that will enrich the Treasury of the Church. Oh sweet pain, if you were well known, how your fertility is rich in this world that is nothing but a road of pain! You who are on the Cross, dear brothers and sisters, this cross is not wood, it is precious stones and pearls of love, it is composed of diamonds of heaven, because you have the love of Holy of Holies that fills you with His intoxicating favours.


Courage, hungry soul longing for the Adorable Spouse, a prisoner on the altar! That hunger will be satisfied. God is preparing to collect His harvest. That is why He gives so much pain, tears and sacrifice. The road of Heaven opens. Lift up your eyes to His paternal love for it must be that the suffering flowers are picked from the ground when the Justice of His wrath will break out. That is why the Good Saviour gives so much faith and hope ...”


Marie-Julie: “It is true that the sea is troubled, threats, contempt and persecutions, nothing tarnishes our peace, nothing weakens our Hope.”


St. Desiderius: “This grace is the announcement of a happier one to come, but no longer on earth. It is entirely in the bliss of heaven. Dear Brothers of the Cross, you are stung by the thorns, they are stained with your blood. What mark of charity you give to God on this earth, suffering and praying for your dear enemies! This is the real,the invaluable portion all the brothers and sisters who have suffered and rest in peace! I will retire, by inviting you, dear brothers get close to the great river of love and strength. This river is hidden in the Cross. Approach this Holy Cross that will open the vast treasures of Happiness. This is the River where every soul will find the strength and the love to love …


Fear not! God knows what to do with you. Accept without seeing, without knowing the size and depth of what God gives you. (I.e. as in crosses). Fear not, for the good which you wait for is so great that persecution is a joy and a pleasure. I leave you at the foot of the Cross, this is where you find the strength in the days of bitterness. The Lord will soon water the evil ones with bitterness. Pray for the Church. The storm and the storm roaring around her, but the waves are powerless, because the Lord guards and protects. Carry your cross, dear brothers and sisters, it is the most beautiful portion (I.e, as in inheritance) ...”

Notes: Saint Didier (also known under the name of Desiderius), was a native of Autun, educated at Vienne, where he became archdeacon and then bishop. He was persecuted by the Queen of the Visigoths, Brunhild, who was instrumental in securing his murder at the place now called Saint-Didier-sur-Chalaronne. He was martyred in the year 608. The Visigoth Kings were Arians, and did not believe in the divinity of Christ. Hence their persecution against Roman Catholics. (Feast days, Feb. 11 and May 23.)

#86 St. Marius - PLOTS AGAINST the FAITH - Martyrdom is Coming - How to Offer 'Pearls' to God


St. Marisse – Warns of PLOTS AGAINST THE FAITH – A Time of Martyrdom is Coming – How to offer 'Pearls' to God – The Children of the Cross are Protected





Ecstasy of October 14, 1878

I am Saint Marisse (Marius / Maurice?), martyr. I was martyred for defending and supporting the Holy Religion and the Fathers who preached this great doctrine. I supported their cause and defended their innocence before the judges and immediately I was judged worthy of death and I rejoiced. I was tied and I suffered terrible treatment. They twisted my members (of his body) and they tore me to shreds. My wounds were filled with poison. The executioners put the Cross under my feet, but my love for my God did not let me do anything (so) treacherous. My body was placed on an instrument and it was gripped by a type of screws so that it was bruised, battered. I was forced to listen to horrible blasphemies against the holy religion, the temple of God and His Apostles. They managed to pull my heart through a large opening ... I was thrown on the pavement, my body in shreds. In the dead of night, they sent someone to collect my flesh and put it in the cemetery of the Christians.


Now a word on behalf of the Lord.


We are in the land of martyrs, some by the sword, others through trial and patience. But the treasures of God are so great for the soul that serves generously! The old days were terrible for shedding the blood of Christians. The Christian faith was firm and steady, as it is still among faithful Christians. Our Lord, with His Divine love, gives Christians the strength and courage to persevere in the midst of sorrows and anxieties. The time that is (being) prepared is also a preparation that will lead a great number of souls to martyrdom and martyrdom will be on the field, because the Faith is almost extinct in many hearts that await for a time not far off to satisfy their fury and rage (i.e., against God and His people)... But God's plans are also prepared. The power of God is also prepared and man, in his projects, will find a misleading weakness. He thinks he has arrived at the edge of his victories, but God, the Infinite Wisdom, has also prepared everything ... Attacks and treacherous plots are roughly pushed against the Holy Temple of God. But it will resist for God defends the Church and protects it and it will endure as long as her children. (Basically, the Church will last until the end of time, and there will always be faithful left on earth, no matter how small the number.) Let us arm ourselves with courage, also our weapons for combat, as the voice of God is not far.


Marie-Julie: “Good saint, for us, these are the weapons: prayer and the Cross.”


St. Maurice: “The Cross is invincible and everywhere however it has many outrages to undergo. We live assured under the power of God and we have nothing to fear. Our life on earth is a life of merit, suffering and tears. But Heaven is so beautiful that it is a beauty one cannot define. The thought of Heaven revives us and strengthens us. Let us love God and dedicate ourselves to God alone and His Cross. Seek God in all things and trample under foot the rest … We are on earth to learn life (Obviously, he means the way to Eternal Life). Each day we enter a new novitiate, either of pains, joy, or happiness.


All our life on earth is like a shell. It is Our Lord who takes away all that is in the shell, the pearl, for us to put in more. (I.e. when we offer all we do and all the sufferings we receive to God for His honour and glory it is like a shell producing a pearl. The Children of the Cross must continue to give generously.) Fear neither insults nor contempt, or slander, take no notice. It is the means to enrich the property of God and His Graces. This is how the children of the Cross (are): They are all standing, praying to God with fervour. The enemies launch their (arrows) towards them to attain them, (I.e., win over them), but God puts a circle of force around them and what is launched against them does not hit; and the blows fall on those who give them. God defends the flowers of His garden.

Courage! The Cross is your portion. It has always been the portion of the elect. This is the best, the richest. Be proud of the glory! ...

:::::::

Notes: It is difficult to pinpoint which saint this could be. The “Sanctuary / Friends of Marie-Julie” Website proposes St. Marius who died in 270 AD, a Persian nobleman who travelled to Rome with his wife Martha and his two sons, Audifax and Abachum to venerate the tombs of the Apostles. While in the city, they undertook the charitable duty of burying the bodies of the martyrs under the persecution of Claudius. However, Marius died by beheading according to tradition, while this heavenly visitor described a different martyrdom to Marie-Julie. There are a number of saints who are listed with a name similar to Marisse. This could be St. Maurice of the Theban Legion (d. 287, Feast Day Sept. 22), who with a large number of Christian soldiers, was martyred for refusing to sacrifice to the false gods before battle. (Another tradition declares they refused to kill innocent people.) Or, this could be St. Maurice who died with Leontius and Daniel and companions, a group of forty five martyrs who suffered at Nicopolis in 329 AD under the Emperor Licinius. (Feast Day July 10.)

#85 St. Pantaleon - Without the True Faith Man is Always Unhappy – The Difference between Souls Influenced by God or Satan


#85 St. Pantaleon - Without the True Faith Man is Always Unhappy – The Difference between Souls Influenced by God or Satan



Ecstasy date October 1, 1878

I am Saint Pantaleon cruelly put to death for the Faith, for defending the rights of the Church. It is under those barbaric emperors I shed my blood. I was tortured severely. I was sentenced to death after suffering nine interrogations. I had always supported the right of God, and I kept my faith. I received my sentence by the Emperor and judges without fright and without fear. I had a kind of crucifixion terrible with pain and suffering. I had my legs and knees pierced by a sort of iron needle which had three branches. I suffered untold pain, my bones were crushed. In the other part of my body, this is what I had endured. My body was sawn into pieces with a iron saw whose teeth were very long and very sharp. I had my head split in two from the mouth. God gave me the grace to suffer a little less time than many other martyrs who have suffered the same fate. They threw my flesh to animals who refused to feed on it. They ordered to throw me into the river but the Will of God stopped those men. I was brought back (i.e. for burial) by colleagues who risked death in doing so, and I was buried in blessed ground because God saw to that.

Now, a word on behalf of Our Lord.

Dear Brothers of the Cross, we are all in this life, the heirs of the glory of Heaven. That is why we must suffer in our souls and our bodies. You who have faith, dear brothers in the Lord, you should be happy! Because it is only in the Faith that makes the happiness of man. Without this Faith, man is always unhappy. God chose you for His instruments on earth. He needs you.


We all know, dear brothers, that all the works of God are traversed (i.e. crossed, as in persecuted), on the earth and exposed to the contradictions of men and the devil. But for us there is something easy to notice, it is that the souls who live for God and persevere in God ascend the degrees of patience and resignation in all the contradictions. Only souls led by God truly have such courage. The soul under the influence of Satan weakens soon, grows bored and rests as a mass of beaten dirt where it can neither hope, nor move, nor live because it is in a torment of despair, the torment of hell. This should reassure you. (i.e., these signs to tell the difference in the movements of the soul and detecting what comes from God should set us at peace.)  It's also a reminder we must never get discouraged when carrying our crosses!  In another vision we learn we displease Our Lord when we let our inner peace be disturbed!  See post

 #76 St. Abraham (of Kidunaia?) to learn more.)

Notes: St. Panteloen is venerated as one of the “Fourteen Holy Helpers”. Like several of the saints that visited Marie-Julie, St. Pantaleon has offered a correct account of his death, and thereby confirmed the assertion that many of the traditional details about his martyrdom are inaccurate legends.


St. Pantaleon, whose names means “the All-Compassionate”, was the son of a rich pagan, Eustorgius of Nicomedia, and had been instructed in Christianity by his Christian mother, Eubula. Afterwards he became estranged from Christianity. He studied medicine and became physician to the Emperor Maximinianus. He was reconverted to the Faith by the priest Hermolaus and afterwards continued to provide his skills as a physcian wihtout charge. Upon the death of his father he came into possession of a large fortune. Envious colleagues denounced him to the emperor during the Diocletian persecution. The emperor wished to save him and tried to get him to renounce his faith, Pantaleon, however, openly confessed his faith, and as proof that Christ is the true God, he healed a paralytic. Notwithstanding this, the emperor regarded the miracle as an exhibition of magic and condemned him.


According to the death-legends now shown to be false, Pantaleon's flesh was first burned with torches; upon this Christ appeared to all in the form of Hermolaus to strengthen and heal Pantaleon. The torches were extinguished. After this, when a bath of liquid lead was prepared, Christ in the same form stepped into the cauldron with him, the fire went out and the lead became cold. He was now thrown into the sea, but the stone with which he was loaded floated. He was thrown to the wild beasts but these fawned upon him and could not be forced away until he had blessed them. He was bound on the wheel, but the ropes snapped, and the wheel broke. An attempt was made to behead him, but the sword bent, and the executioners were converted. Pantaleon implored heaven to forgive them, for which reason he also received the name “All Compassionate”. It was not until he himself desired it that it was possible to behead him.


He died in 305 AD, apparently at Nicomedia. Feast Day, July 27.

#84 St. Michael - The "Pillar of Mud, President Sarkozy" Prophecy - Terror Must Befall France - The Return of the King

#84 St. Michael – the “Pillar of Mud” Prophecy – Terror must befall France – the Return of the King

::::

(Note about these particular visions of St. Michael: the texts for this date (September 29, 1878) have been separated, it is difficult to tell if they are all part of the same vision, or various visions at different parts of the day. Please note, owing to the difficulty of establishing a correct time line, they may not be in the correct order.)

:::::

Text One:

St. Michael grabbed his sword and showed the crowd the Sacred Heart. A terrible cry rises. Men and demons seem mixed: we can no longer distinguish the voices of Christians from that of hell.

Marie-Julie: “Saint Michael, what frightening screams!”

The archangel approaches from the left with the fluttering banner of the Sacred Heart. The cries are redoubled:

The screams: “There is the one who promised to close over us the doors of the abyss!”

They are murmuring and spit in the face of the Archangel. He then turns to the right:

I speak,” he says, “listen to my voice. Death is on your heads. The fatal blow is ready. Look at the Sacred Heart that will be your refuge.”

The right side, (of the crowd) which is as bad as the left, responds:

Better to be enveloped in the Justice of Christ than to recognize His Heart!”

(Observations: Does this refer to all the times when the various governments of France rejected Christ's request through mystics such as St. Margaret Mary to have an image of His Sacred Heart placed on the royal standard?)

The hour of God is not far,” says St. Michael, “this profound terror will (bring about) the triumph of the new France. But this triumph cannot come before (if) Justice is not (pressed down) on this rotten land.

Do not expect anything of him who reigns as king and who, today, sits in the same chair as the others – a chair that bears no mark of a special power or much grander. His mind is in accordance with the thoughts of others, his word to their word, his will to their will. His power and authority are not more than he who is the last. Do not expect anything from this side: he does not deserve any more respect than all the rest.




In the storm, his voice will cry as loud as the others, against all that God has established. There is no strength in him; they lead him, they have directed him. This is the portrait of this man; he is a pillar of mud. Grieve about it, but do not give it much thought.”

Marie-Julie: “I will not think about it, good Saint Michael.”

St. Michael: “To reinstate the King chosen and destined by God, it is necessary that all those who are present be swept away.

Observations on this first text:
 
It is interesting to note that the voices on the right in the vision who prefer Christ's Justice,which seem to represent conservatives, show that they are just as bad as those on the left. Besides salvation and damnation, only in politics do we hear of a “left” and “right” side, terms that first started in France when conservatives and liberals seperated into different sides of the National Assembly.   People will be “conservatives” in name only during this time foretold by St. Michael?



Many speculate this prophecy of a 'pillar of mud' refers to none other than President Nicolas Sarkosy.

Sarkosy's father was from the Hungarian aristocracy, his paternal ancestors were ennobled by Ferdinand II of Hapsbourg in 1608. Of interest, “Sar” and “Kos” in Hungarian mean “dirt” and “mud” respectively. Sar’ can also mean ‘mire’, while ‘sark’ means ‘pole’! 

 President Sarkozy was raised Catholic, and it might be tempting to think he could be the one to bring back a Catholic monarchy, or some type of moral government, but considering President Sarkozy was married a third time, completely against Catholic teaching, we can see the similarities in the prophecy, if it indeed refers to him.


St. Michael warns he is a “pillar of mud” that rules like a king, i.e. a “pillar” of society, but not pure. As they saying goes, a man of clay.  He is no better than the “others”, his voice will be 'their' voice indicating he will be a puppet for the evil ones that will try and undo all God has established, and that his chair is not high and noble like that of a king's throne, obviously referring to his leadership as President in a liberal, secular democracy. In fact, the French do not view their presidents simply as elected officials, they are viewed and treated as an elected 'king', but obviously, St. Michael is pointing out their error in thinking this!

However, St. Michael says we, as Catholics, cannot expect anything from him, and must wait for God to restore France to its former Catholic glory under its rightful monarchy.

Text Two of St. Michael's revelations (September 29, 1878):


Poor France, look at my flaming sword. It is a double iron, it is sharpened on all four sides. Do you not tremble to undergo such an operation by these sharp blades, this flaming sword? But France is muted. She is become (as one) deaf to the plaintive words addressed to her. She has no more (than) one understanding, (i.e. one mind), that of evil, sin and revenge, because day and night they blow over her their abominations and the belief that she will be saved by the power of these unfortunate treacherous murderers, of those who have tortured, torn, lost. It is they who bear that frightening horn (i.e. a cornocopia?) that contains everything most hellish of Satan.


No, I say it openly, if God had not promised to save France, all these people would be grieving, but the promise of God is to strengthen you and reassure you. You have no fright to fear because you are promised God's help. This region, your regions, will be protected, separated from France in danger of perishing. (i.e., Brittany and the Vendée will be spared.)

Yes, God will save France, but not without justice, or without rigour, it is promised. France will be saved sooner than the majority think - this great party (or majority), it is men who do not trust in God and do not hope in God. France endured in the past few years a burning thirst, but God in His loving mercy has sent suffering on Earth so that, thereby, He is compensated. France still suffers yet this thirst, but it will be refreshed in the blood of its friends and in the blood of its enemies; that is to say that innocent blood will be shed for the cause and for another cause higher again, and the blood of the wicked will also be provided to meet the wrath and vengeance of God.


The hand of God no longer is sustained. So, the Father Almighty has presented the Hand of His son to the Earth because of the crimes, the iniquities piled like mountains one on top of each other. The hand of God weighs down slowly and gently to a certain degree which was recorded by the friends of God in (the) revelations, but when this point is passed, and the Lord's hand touches, He will strike rigorously. God will wait the time He has marked. There, it will not be a long time, everything will be done without the French people (who will) acknowledge God and will return to better dispositions. It will be a terrible epoch that the Earth has never seen (before); no eye, nor any alive, or dead, have seen what is reserved in this next time; no punishment, no anger will ever be seen as the one reserved to be seen by the children of God living in this era of offences and attacks. That punishment will be seen by the eyes of the children of God (but) who will not suffer the terrible revenge; it will be seen by those who must endure it but seen by them shortly, (or for a short time). Their eyes will see a pain that they wished they were closed, never to reopen. (I.e. they will envy the dead.) Oh! if the wicked knew well to penetrate the Justice of the Inexorable Judge, they would shudder, they would gémiraient (groan?) from fear and terror.


You who will see, do not be troubled, for you are destined to see what those who lived centuries before you have never seen. Remember the promise of your merciful Redeemer. I say to you strongly and lovingly to hope in the mercy of God.


The hour of God is not far and this profound terror must be to (bring about) the triumph of poor France. For it cannot triumph, it is impossible, (that is), this triumph cannot come before the Justice of God is weighed down on this spoiled land, corrupted, infected with all sorts of crimes.


I want to tell you this secret: expect nothing, absolutely nothing of men. To restore the King chosen and destined by God,” says St. Michael the Archangel, “it is necessary that those who are in (this present) moment are swept away because the worthy King, this man of God, can not sit in place of the hypocrite king who after many years (of rule?) will no longer stench up the land, at least from above .* (See note below.) The poison is resting on the throne, it must be purified because there is another St. Louis who will sit on the fragrant lily.


The Holy Archangel says:


The corpses of the enemies of the king will be trampled under the feet of those who will accompany him to the throne where he must reign, restoring peace to bloom everywhere again, however, there will remain enemies standing when the king will take possession because he must come in during the course of the storm. But he will be brought safe and sound because the Mother of God will protect him as her own son and has reserved for him to inherit a merited crown that will delight him. The days of exile will be long and cost dearly to the faithful and Catholic King, but he will be more richly rewarded. Let men affirm and say he will never return. Listen to them and ask them if they are prophets.


Children of the Cross, when the reign of this King arrives, France will be much weakened and depopulated, but God will reward France by many wonders after having been sifted and made to suffer. Peace will reign everywhere. After these terrible misfortunes reserved for France, all other powers will also have their punishments because it is the renewal of the entire universe. There will be (all) and everywhere, in corners of the Earth inhabited by my other children, chastisements and punishments of God because then peace will reign everywhere. (i.e., the great peace cannot come unless the earth is purified by chastisements and suffering.) There are powers, (i.e. countries, governments, officials ?) that I cannot name, who will suffer for years because this terrible disorder of threats and abominations, all this is nothing but punishment from God that sins attract.”


Marie-Julie: “The Holy Archangel then shows me the banner of the Sacred Heart that I have always seen.”


Saint Michael: “This is how we march on the borders of France, bearing the banner and the sword. I hold under my feet all the enemies of God and all (that is of) Freemasonry. I will exterminate them and the Justice of God will complete (it) and will crush them under the weight of His anger. Meanwhile, marching to France and on the borders of France, we will accomplish our duty.


When it is completed, when the kingdom of God will commence and peace restored, we will march on Rome for France must devote itself to the defence of the Holy See. The new Holy Pontiff is much more exposed, more threatened than the one I received. (i.e., the Holy pontiff will be more threatened and persecuted than his predecessor.) By attacking his holy Temple, they strongly make an attempt on the life of the Pontiff. If he is not a martyr by the hands of barbarians, it is that God will make (by) him a shining miracle that has no name. This spite also comes from your France. Never (before) was the storm so strong, so powerful against other pontiffs as that against him. He is already a martyr before undergoing martyrdom. He suffers before the time has appeared, but he offers his body and the blood of his veins for all his tormentors and those who make strong attempts, terrible (plots) on his life. What exiles (he has) to suffer, as that which martyrs endure.



Pray hard, with tears implore the mercy of God. It is (high) time, and even time passes. Cry, moan in pain on so many friends who will fall by the blade of the sword, (by) mine, and (by those) of the warriors driven by rage.”

Observations / Notes: (*) Who is this “hypocrite king” that “stenches up the land”? The Sanctuary / Friend of Marie-Julie Website says this revelation of a 'hypocrite king', refers to Napoleon III, but Napoleon the Third was already defeated, the Paris Commune had happened and the Third Republic installed by the time Marie-Julie had this vision.

The 'hypocrite king' could be President Patrice de Mac-Mahon, who was in office from May 24, 1873 to January 30, 1879. He was the only monarchist of the Third Republic, and apparently supported the restoration of the monarchy, forwarding the Count of Chambord as the new king. Chambord was the younger son of Charles X. Charles X was the younger brother to Kings Louis the XVI and XVIII, therefore the Count of Chambord was the last of the legitimate claimants to the throne under the Bourbon dynasty. President Mac-Mahon was also of aristocratic blood, a Marquis, and he was later created Duke of Magenta by Napoleon III.


However, if St. Michael's words were referring to President Mac-Mahon, it appears President Mac-Mahon's attempts to restore the legitimate monarchy the previous year were not genuine, or not pleasing to God. In 1873, MacMahon and other royalists planned to present the Count of Chambord to the National Assembly and have him proclaimed king, but as a constitutional monarch.  However, the Count refused, saying he would never forsake the White Flag of the absolute monarchy with the fluer-de-lys for the Tricolour of the revolutionaries, and rejected any plan to rule under a Republican organized monarchy. A crisis ensued the following years as all plans to restore the monarchy failed after this, entrenching the Republicans and sealing the defeat of the royalists.


We also note that while Mac-Mahon tried to suppress Republicanism in France in support of a royalist restoration, he put an Orleanist in office as Prime Minister, the Duc du Broglie, (i.e., a supporter of the Orleans claim to the throne), and according to Marie-Julie's visions, an Orleanist would never hold the throne as that family turned traitor and supported the Revolutionary cause against King Louis XVI, occasioning his murder. So, it appears the President was not willing to cut ties with the Masonic branches who wanted to control any restoration of the monarchy under their democratic systems. In any case, St. Michael stressed no human endeavour will be able to restore the French monarchy, and warned we are not to place false hopes in any human attempt, rather, we must wait for God to work the miracles He promised to sweep away the secularised governments imposed on France since the Masonic Revolution. God promises another great and holy king like St. King Louis, a descendent of the “King and Queen Martyrs” as Marie-Julie told the Marquis de le Franquerie. Above we learn the King he will be a saintly man, and in matters of government will not be infected by Masonic principles and will restore the Ancient Regime by God's power.  In fact, he has already been named: Henry V, the Count of Chambord whom the Republicans rejected.  In other texts we learn Our Lord promises to RETURN HIM TO HIS SUBJECTS, (click here for more info).
