Public Messages Dictated by Jesus and Mary and Joseph

to their Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even

for September 2002

August 1, 2002

"My Dear Children, you do not need to be confused over what you remember and what you do not understand concerning the events to come. Just reread the messages. I have told you directly and indirectly of all events. It is just that some have created their own scenarios of what they think will occur and what they think does not always match what has been stated. It is there in print for you to digest, for as I have stated it, it will occur. Be then assured that, what you read is the proper way to consider it.

These days so many want to speak of what they know to others, some of whom do not understand or believe. Why do you do that? I have asked you to pray for others and let God in His time help others to believe. They will, you know. But leave it to God to help them when He thinks their Faith can understand truth from fiction. I will speak of this a little later in My lesson. - Jesus"

August 1, 2002

"Dear Children, as Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, has counseled you in the ways of the True Faith, I wish to speak about the practices of the Faith leading to Heaven. I do this also to counteract the Modernists' views and to encourage each one of you to prepare yourselves for the times ahead when you lack True Priests and the True Sacraments. You will be on your own. You will be afloat in the mire of Modernism.

Sweet Children, these times and the times ahead are those which will need your full attention to details. You will need to find a traditional Priest for Confession. Go as often as you can. Go to Holy Mass and Communion. Say your prayers and especially pray for your Soul at least one day a week. Pray for others also. Do not forget to pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory.

Remember no one or group can save your Soul, only you can save your Soul. Remember that amidst the crowd of Modernists who treat the Holy Mass as a social gathering, you remain quiet and prayerful.

We will discuss this further. - Mary"

August 1, 2002

"Sweet Children, I, Joseph, shall give you lessons asked of me by the Eternal Father. He continues to ask that I explain and encourage the True Faith. He asks me to alert you to the tragedies coming forth from the Modernists. The changes are not good, My Children. They are losing in the Grace you need to sustain you and the many who receive Grace from the Catholic Liturgy and Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. - Joseph"

August 1, 2002

"You see, My dear Children, there is a time for each person to actually take to heart that which you have been given. You are so eager to share My and My Mother's Holy Words. We, with St. Joseph, try very hard to advise you, the ones who believe, because you believe and because you are chosen to believe. This is the reason you receive the messages. You have a very important role to play, work to do in the future. It is to explain to many what is taking place and why. But that job will not come to you for some time and I will announce it when you are to do so.

 

For now then. My Children, be at peace and speak only to those who also receive the messages about them if you must. It is hard for you to understand, perhaps, but each person will be called to understand and believe, but not all at the same time. Let God decide when and where and how. Let Him make Himself known to others as He wishes. My Children, this could include both family members and your friends and acquaintances.

I hope you now understand. - Jesus"

August 1, 2002

"Sweet Children, these days you find many who do not know the Faith. They treat the Faith with casual regard and believe their lives merit Heaven when all the time they engage in sinning. They have no regard for sacrifice or sustained prayer. They do not seek Confession. They are very casual about their lives and sin.

The days are coming, and are here for many, in which they believe the new ways are the Catholic ways, yet these new ways are like a whole new religion. They are not Catholic. They are not taught the Catholic ways in the True Catholic Faith.

It is a Commandment of God, the first Commandment, that you seek to know God and your Faith. Yet so few seek this understanding and treat their Religion as casually as they regard what dinner to make or clothes to buy. This casualness has been encouraged by the evil one as it leads to forgetfulness. Yes, people forget how to pray, that they should pray and what happens if they do not pray. There are many in Hell who could testify to the need to pray, for without prayer in one's life, there is no Godliness in one's life. Prayer is the key essential element to get to Heaven. - Mary"

August 1, 2002

"My Sweet Children, you have a tradition, a history, in the Catholic Faith and Religion. You have thousands of years of examples, of Saints and Holy Angels. You have much information to discern Truth from fiction. Do not let yourselves be dissuaded by fast talking Modernists or laity who feel they are right, because the Truths of the Faith shall stand forever. The Truths of the Faith are good and True because God designed them and what He does is correct and the best.

Now I wish to speak to those who have separated themselves from their Holy Pontiff. You can not do that and remain in the Line of Grace. Though what he may do is not what you may like, he is the key element in the Line of Grace. Follow Pope John Paul II. Know he will live until a True Successor has been installed for the Reign of Peace. The other person who will be elected as Pontiff will be the Anti-Pope. He will destroy the Faith and Church even more. Stay always with Pope John Paul II. - Joseph"

August 1, 2002

"My Children, as We complete these messages for September, We are nearing the end of the tenth year of these messages for this Apostolate. Yearbooks of all the years are available. Now I want to begin now to alert you to the manner in which the monthly messages will be mailed during the eleventh year of these messages. They will be mailed two months at a time. This only costs a little, I assure you. Yet be assured you will receive information you need, all the information you will need, to prepare and plan for events in a timely fashion, as I understand you rely on these messages to be ready.

I am and shall be with you. - Jesus"

Prophetic Messages by Jesus Christ

Given to His Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even

"My Sweet Children, daily I ask you to pray for the Church, the Holy Pontiff, for Bishops, Priests and laity. I especially ask you to pray for the laity who have lost, or never really known, the True nature of the Holy Catholic Faith. So many want great change to occur in the Church, just as Protestants appear to change or alter their Faiths and Religions. So many want an easy way to practice their Faith. It is sad to see this trend made popular by the Modernists. My Children, this Religion of yours must stand forever according to the processes and means given it by God the Father.

So many view the Catholic Church as "old fashion" because they do not see any change in it. But that is the priority element of the Holy Roman Catholic Faith. It does not alter its beliefs and structural processes. It has a Line of Grace through all the Popes from all time of the Church from St. Peter. It does not deviate in its beliefs.

Time was needed to assemble those conditions under which it will function. Once in place, guided by the Holy Spirit of God in the Most Blessed Trinity, it stands as a perpetual guide for Faith in God. It does not change, nor can it. All the Dogmas and Faith Principles shall stand. No modernism can truly change what God has designed. That is the true basis of the Faith.

Knowing this gives it strength. Carrying this out is the work of the Bishops and Priests. Too often and indeed in many places now, there has been a rush to see what can be altered. That is sad for those who do this or put pressure on others to do this are really creating their own faith and religion. With so many changes, the True Faith has been so altered that another faith and religion has emerged. This new modernist faith decreases the basic premises of the Liturgy, of the Sacraments, of Priestly nature, and in so doing creates a schism of beliefs. Many people attend Holy Mass and do not recognize it as the same Holy Mass that they wish to attend for the Modernists have created "new ways" of acting, of speaking, and in so doing have replaced the Holy Presence of God with the holy presence of people.

In these places there is rarely the presence of a tabernacle or images of Heavenly personages. It is a whole new religion they practice based on humanistic principles forsaking the need for Confession of sin or talk of sin. In these places all people go to Heaven and the thought of Hell or Purgatory is not heard, nor even remembered.

My Children, it is so sad for Me to see Catholics put into the position of attending or participating in these false ways, and to be so naive to believe that the Holy Catholic Church could or would allow such practices. It is so sad that Priests of today, who are just ordained in the last decade, believe what they are doing is correct and Dogmatically true. This new generation of Priests have been schooled in the Modernists' views. In fact they have been encouraged to do all they can to make people alter their views of the way Catholics are to believe. It is only those who know what the True Faith stands for, who know the True Faith, who can describe the errors. That is why for years I have asked you to learn what the True Faith is all about. I have asked you to prepare yourselves for these times. I have explained often the great need for you to read the Dogmas and Catechism, to understand the Liturgy and the Sacraments. I have encouraged you to be prepared.

With this message, I am advising you that even greater changes can be expected. It is a time of toil, of woe, for you because the dear Faith, Church and Liturgy that you desire and believe in is now suffering greatly in the hands of the Modernists.

Older Priests try but fail to help because these younger Priests have been thoroughly coached in the new ways, and how to thwart all attempts to "revert" back to the old ways. In some cases there has been great pressure put on older Priests to accept the new ways with the threat of withholding retirement benefits or sick leaves or payments for health and housing. It is very sad. So many ask Me for help and I do, but the Modernists have a firm hold in so many Dioceses now that it is difficult to know what to do, where to help.

The reason for these changes goes back to the Oath against change, against Modernism, taken away after Vatican II. That Oath was made by all Priests before Ordination. It enabled the Church and Faith to persevere in Its beliefs. After the Oath was set aside, change could enter in, and it has. Even now Pope Pius X's writings on Modernism apply. Even now the early Twentieth Century Encyclical of this Pope is relevant, for what he thought would happen, is occurring.

Try, My Children, to understand that Heaven looks upon these conditions with horror, for what God designed is good and should not be dismissed nor altered. All of Heaven looks with fear to the hand of the Eternal Father, who persists in patience and waits and waits. But soon that hand of His will drop and the World of yours will feel its vibrations.

The World has set its course towards, and with the evil one, and his designs. The Modernists in the Church have set their plans to coincide with the World bringing the Church to side with the designs of the evil one in the World. That is the structure of things today. Each side rushing to close the gap between the World and the Church. Once this occurs, there will be great persecution of Catholics trying to hold to the True Faith. True Faith Catholics will be at a loss to find a True Priest, a True Holy Mass, or the Sacraments. I am now forewarning you that these times are at your door. For many they have already taken place.

My Children, it is wrong and without merit, it is invalid for a loaf of bread to be used for a sacrificial offering. No valid consecration can take place. I really do not care who says it is alright. I speak here of those in the places of honor in the Church. It is invalid. No consecration can occur. The Mass is invalid. Do not let any Church authority persuade you this is the "new" way. No, it is not. There is error.

Modernism has taken its toll. The evil one has found a loophole to destroy the Church from within. The smoke of Satan has entered the Church. In fact in some places, the smoke has become solid substance.

It is sad for Me to report this to you, but you must become more aware that you can no longer float as a Catholic toward Heaven. Now you must learn what the True Catholic Faith is and practice the True Faith to get to Heaven.

I love you all. Now learn your Faith. - Jesus"

Prophetic Messages by Blessed Virgin Mary

Given to Her Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even

"Sweet Children, I have begun speaking of the need for all Catholics to be alert to and conduct themselves as True Catholics, not letting the Modernists dissuade you into thinking there are so many "new" ways and in effect altering the purposes and intent of your beliefs in the One, Holy, Roman Catholic Faith, designed by God in the Most Blessed Trinity. The leader of your Faith and Church is Pope John Paul II. No other can take his place, or suggest he or she speaks for the Church. This has become apparent now. There are many who have decided they are more informed and can make numerous changes in the Faith and Church.

This Holy Catholic Church does not intermingle different Religions in Its Liturgy and practices. Its architecture should draw upon Heavenly images and should inspire people to holiness. The buildings of the Church should elevate the mind and heart of Catholics and not be centers for play, work or conventions. The heart of a Church should contain the Holy Tabernacle, crucifix and images of God, His Mother, the Saints and Angels. There should be a set of Stations, Confessional, and ways for people to receive Holy Eucharist in the most reverent manner, only from Priests.

It is very sad to see the total desecration of the ascetics by some Prelates. It is an abomination that Modernism should be regarded as relevant to the Holy Catholic Church. It is appalling to see various deities given prominence in the sanctuaries of Roman Catholic Churches. Such action leads to false notions regarding the Faith. Such action gives the impression there are many Faiths that God the Father chose to design.

This is wrong. There is only one True Faith in God in the Most Blessed Trinity. There is only one Faith and Church that has the Grace, in the Line of Grace, to sustain Human Beings in their quest for Heaven. This Holy Catholic Church provides the grace so that others of different Faiths could come to Heaven. This is the Truth of the matter. No True Catholic can relinquish the call to the True Faith without grievous results.

You see, My Children, I am quite concerned now with many Catholics who so casually divest themselves of their Catholic philosophy and Faith, and follow the Protestant faiths. They think they are all the same. That is not true. They are not all the same. You can not move around to other Churches and faiths freely. You are caught in a very limited way in one Faith, and it is a gift to be a True Catholic. It is necessary once you are a Catholic to stay a Catholic. Those who are Catholics have a special responsibility to others and to their own Souls. Catholics have a special gift of Grace which is rewarded greatly in Heaven and receive the worst of Hell. You have a special place because of this God-given gift of Faith, no matter if you were bom to it, chose it or others chose it for you. You have a gift and you must not disavow it.

These days, there are many in the Catholic Faith who think it can change and want it to change. No, that, � it can not do wisely. It is a Religion designed in Heaven for all time. The current social trends can not, should not, influence It, nor Its Liturgy. Women can not be Priests. The Holy Hosts must be only wheat and water, not loaves of bread. Only the Priest can consecrate the hosts and wine to bring about Transubstantiation, that is the True Presence of Jesus Christ � Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity � on the altar that you receive in the Holy Eucharist.

Awareness of the True Presence and the reverent reception of Holy Communion has become lost in the minds and hearts of Catholics. The True Presence can not be brought about by anyone except a duly-ordained male Catholic Priest. The True Presence is not believed by many who do not know their Faith, nor take the time to think about this Truth. It is so sad to see My Holy Son's Presence so desecrated, so unloved, so maligned, not only by Priests, but by the laity also, as they grab the Holy Hosts and consume Him with grievous sin on their Souls. He hurts. He is battered. He falls victim daily to so many sinful acts of sacrilege.

In addition to these errors, Heaven observes how lost some of My Children are to the Truths of the Faith. Many say they would like their Religion to be "easier." They do not want to think about it. It should be easy to go to Heaven. My Children, there is only one easy way to Heaven and that is martyrdom for the Faith.

Jesus Christ is your key example of the life which leads to Heaven. His life of suffering was to show you that it takes time and energy, prayer and virtue, to cleanse your Souls sufficiently to get to Heaven. Heaven only has those whose Souls are clear and pure. Your Religion should provide you the basis for holiness demanded to get to Heaven. For thousands of years your Faith and Church provided you the basis, the Sacraments and the Liturgy to help you get to Heaven. Now these basic elements of Faith are being destroyed. You must understand this and recognize what you must do to get to Heaven. You must recognize that there is no easy way to Heaven. There are no shortcuts really. You have a Faith and Church which must be preserved by you. You are on your own now. You must study and learn the Truths of the Faith and follow them.

My Children, it is with deep regret that I must speak so harshly to you, but the times are rough, and so many of you become confused so easily. You want to believe that what the Priests are telling you is correct because it makes life easier. I am saying that the path to Heaven is not easy. Your Religion and Faith must be learned and followed. Do not be remiss in thinking you are less than Priests when it comes to the Truths of the Faith. Many of you have learned and experienced more than many Priests have, even though they have received degrees and ordination. Neither can you think that because you are old, and the young have new ways, that you should follow them in the new ways. No. You must stick to the old ways, the True ways of the Faith.

Don't either let some younger people get you down because they laugh at you or say you are old-fashioned. 0 no, do not let them get you down or feel you also must change. Please, No. Do not change from the True ways of Faith. You just tell them that you'll be in Heaven before them. They will say, "yes, because you are old." You say, "No, I will go to Heaven, and see if you make it." Do not let them bother you because you know the Truth.

I love you all, My Children. Stay with the True Catholic Faith. - Mary"

Prophetic Messages by St. Joseph

Given to His Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even

"Sweet Children of the Most Pure Heart of St. Joseph, I am Joseph, asked by the Eternal Father to give you monthly thoughts of His mind and Heart in order for you to conform more completely to His Divine Wishes. We have done so for close to ten years now and each year you can see Our Eternal Father's wishes become more specific and more direct for your Spiritual health. He is somewhat worried, if I can call it that, for He sees the Catholic Faith lose Its Grace and more and more Catholics lose their drive, their enthusiasm, to practice their Faith to be ready, more ready, for Heaven.

In these days of Church turmoil and the events of the World more evidently warlike, there is a greater need for your personal efforts to gain Grace rather than lesser. Due to this need, He has asked me again to speak about your efforts and the need for you to become more earnest as Catholics to save your Souls and the Souls of those around you. This, then, is the emphasis I have given to this lesson.

I am sure by now, for those who have read the messages over time, you understand the great need for this and similar lessons. I am sure, by now, you recognize the impact of these Spiritual Directions. It is up to

you now. You are on your own to both discover the True Faith Principles and live them. Due to this fact, We have shared with you aspects of the Faith, ways to holiness and virtue, and paths to Heaven. We do this because so few persons in authority are doing so and because people of the Faith have become lukewarm in their response to the Principles of the Faith.

Therefore I wish to say again that this is no time to be casual or lukewarm. Rather this is a time to be anxious and forthright, and practice the Faith as you may have never done before. What does this mean?

It means, My Children, that you set aside the things of this World and place your life's emphasis upon what matters Spiritually. Mass, Holy Communion, Rosary, Confession, Novenas, daily prayers in a disciplined manner, Holy Hours before the Blessed Sacrament, time spent with Our Lord. These are the essential aspects of a good Spiritual life. In addition it would be wise to review the Commandments and Virtues and live these principles, put them into practice. Turn away from the designs of the World and hold in your minds, the things that are sacred.

Now perhaps you have said or say, I do these things. Well then, you have made a good start. Now call upon Heaven to be with you. Ask Jesus to guide you to the next level of prayer which is meditation. In meditation, you can express your great love for Jesus Christ, God in the Most Blessed Trinity and His Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary, of the Saints and Angels. Ask the Angels and Saints to surround, protect, guide and assist you to live your life as you should to get to Heaven. This they will do.

In the process of praying be sure to consider the ways that Jesus and Mary would act and react in various situations. Let them be your models.

It is so disheartening to observe children who have not been brought up knowing the Faith and how to avoid sinning. Your World offers to these children so many enticements and irregular patterns of thought. Many ignore all but what the World says to them. So many fail to confess their sins because they do not know what sins they have committed. Yet you as parents must express to them what sin is and how to confess. That is your job, your responsibility. If some Children would die without confessing, they would surely die [eternally]. This is due to their very real responsibility as Catholics to know the Faith and live it. Yes, even youth must know what to believe and to practice their Faith. This is a requirement of the Faith.

Sweet Children, you must remember that the Catholic Faith is like no other. It has specific requirements for practice, rules and laws of practice. It is not a casual come-and-go-on-Sunday Faith. It is a Faith which directs your life in ways like no other. It advises you to action. It commits you to act at certain times, such as receiving Confession and Holy Communion during the Octave of Lent. This is a minimal requirement, but put in place so you will confess at least once a year. 0 My Children, We ask you confess much more often � every two weeks at least. We do this so you become aware of your sins, seek to amend them, and offer sacrifice in reparation for your sins. Please choose one day a week to pray in reparation for your sins and to cleanse your Soul.

Dear Children, I am asked to speak bluntly to you regarding these matters because so few have the heart to understand and follow the ways of Faith. So many are Sunday Catholics, and even then there are obstinate attitudes about attending the Holy Mass. These attitudes lead people to accept the socialization offered by Modernists at, before and after Mass, which is a great affront to the Holy Presence of God in the Tabernacle.

0 My Children, this casual way of Faith leads many to forget that they have sinned or they should confess before receiving Holy Communion. So they walk to Holy Communion as casually as if it is just part of what they do in coming to Holy Mass, no matter for them the sins they have committed. Then sin upon sin, a sacrilege if they have mortal sins. 0 My Children, the errors in receiving Holy Communion in sin have grown. Few receive without any sin. Many receive with venial sin. Some also receive who are in mortal sin. It is a great tragedy for Souls, and one you need to watch carefully in yourselves.

Now My Children, I encourage you to become more aware of your own Spiritual growth and those of your children and family. Remind them of Confession times. Say the Rosary together at home. Try to make your homes holy and stay alert to the ways you practice your Faith.

The times ahead will be difficult. The times now are difficult, but you can do what must be done. We are here to help you. Call upon us.

Dear Children, know that We of Heaven look down on you and pray to God the Father to help you overcome all the temptations that your world puts before you. Think always of God and His ways. He is your center, your hope. He will be your reward.

0, if you could see Heaven and recognize what it is and what Hell is like, there would be a great rush to fulfill all that is required to get to Heaven. We are asking you to try much harder to assure your place in Heaven now.

I love you all. - Joseph. Until next month..."
