The Lullaby

Sometimes deep in prayer I feel that I get a little glimpse into the life of the Blessed Virgin and her Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

I saw a beautiful Mother, holding her son, and she was singing a beautiful little lullaby to Him.   Mary would sing this Lullaby to Him whenever he was a child to soothe Him.  Mamma's arms and that sweet Lullaby always brought Him comforted and peace in his childhood.

Later I was shown the most Blessed Mother on Calvary at the foot of the cross.  Jesus has been crucified and was suffering greatly.

Her eyes were riveted on her son.  She wouldn't look away from Him.  She wanted to be 100% present for Him, 100% His Mother.

No one heard it.  She sang it softly, just her lips were moving.  But Jesus had seen that movement of her lips many times.  It was just for Him.

She was quietly singing the lullaby to Him.

Oh Mother, what those eyes have seen and suffered.  Pray for us.

"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?..."

We in the flesh are hindered in such a way that with our senses we cannot perceive eternity.   The God who took flesh in the form of Jesus in order to be like us in all things chose to forgo some knowledge in agreement that such temporarily 'forgetting' was part of the perfection of the plan of God.  As God shielded Moses when God passed by, Moses was denied a knowledge of God because his flesh could not look upon the face of God and live.  So to Jesus while incarnate in the flesh would suffer a 'shielding', or a lack of knowledge of some things that He would have had access to prior to the incarnation and would again gain access at the exact moment of His last heart beat.  This 'forgetting' of certain things for a time was part of God's participation in our humanity and the perfection of His passion on the Cross. The God who knows all could by His own will decide to forgo knowledge in order that an infinite benefit could be given to us by His Passion.

What did Jesus not know?  When Jesus spoke of the sign of His coming and the end of the age He said,  "But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Matthew 24: 36.   

But there was something else He did not know when He went to His passion.  

In the Gospels, Jesus predicts His death in the following way.  Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!" Matthew 20: 17-19

View from the Cross

He did not mention in either of His predictions the great suffering that He would endure when he said, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"  Many Protestant denominations say that at this moment God the Father turned away because He could not look upon the suffering of His son.  This is not so.  If this was so then God would not be God because He would be one who would experience suffering which would bring a reaction or a recoiling from horror.  God is God, He requires nothing, He needs nothing, He is complete in all, He can withstand all.  How could the God who created the universe and knows the most minute future action of all His creatures recoil in horror to a scene placed in an earthly timeline that He had already foreseen and by His will allowed to be?   

Flesh is flesh, and has its limits for suffering for an eternal salvation transaction to humanity.  For a person to receive the opportunity of salvation whether they were alive at the death of our Lord or living 2000 years after the Crucifixion the propitiation that Jesus offered for us must have two qualities.  

It would have to:

1) reach heaven (so it had to be perfect and Holy) and 

2) It had to open heaven for us (So the sacrifice required would have to be equal to the justice demanded for the sinful offense of Adam).  

God received a sacrifice of equal value to His judgement, but this also had to have an eternal value.   God is eternal and we are protected in this life by God to a measure that we do not realize.  We are shielded from perceiving both the rewards and the chastisement of eternity as a consequence of being in the flesh and the world.  One that is Holy and close to God can access the heavenly realm as God allows them to for their instruction and purification and the instruction of others.    The flesh cannot withstand the holiness of God.  "But you cannot see my face, for no one can see me and live."  Exodus 33:20. 

Mystical Perception of Heaven

God allows that our perception of the truth of the Heavenly realm is dimmed for our good.  But this can be accessed  if you love God and obey Him and seek the good of others in a hidden way.   The other side of eternity, the chastisement part also can be accessed by ouija boards, witchcraft, etc.  This is why God was so specific in warning us to not go to psychics and the like.   God wishes us to access eternity on the side of Heaven, not via the devils domain.

But the Holy Flesh of God in the Form of Jesus took the ultimate punishment for us.  His Holy Blood was shed for us.  But like us, Jesus had the presence of God the Father with Him.  On the Cross when He said, “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.”  At this moment, God allowed His son to feel the absence of Himself.  Jesus did not know this was going to happen as Jesus had forgone knowledge of it when He took flesh so that His suffering at this moment could be perfected for us.    This suffering at this moment was infinitely painful for our Lord and Savior.    At this moment God withdrew Himself not because of the pain God the Father experienced in watching the passion of His son for us, but so that the suffering of His Son could reach the ultimate perfection required for our salvation.    If Jesus would have to suffer all things then we know that in order to suffer all things, He would have to suffer in an infinite way for an infinite benefit.  

In Hell the damned suffer the absolute absence of God, this is a great suffering that is difficult to describe.   God is always God and cannot be anything but God.  So God could not suffer the loss of His own presence in Heaven.  But Jesus on the Cross at the moment of His greatest suffering suffered the absence of the Father for the moment when Jesus cried out, “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.”  Jesus is God, He was never without the presence of the Father in all His life on the Earth, but those that would face Hell would have the 100% absence of God for all eternity which is an indescribable suffering.   God in His great mercy and love for us would suffer all things for us, even the absence of the presence of God the Father for a moment so that He would truly understand eternal hopelessness.  This was not done so as to commiserate with those suffering in Hell nor was it done to redeem them, for they cannot be redeemed.  But the infinite nature of this suffering which God allowed was the final perfection of the suffering on the Crucifixtion of our Lord..  

God is perfect, all His ways are perfect, even in suffering.  The suffering of His Son whose Passion is a perfect oblation ever present before the throne of God petitioning God's mercy by His blood. 

St. Michael and the Scales

There is no excel spreadsheet in heaven of all the prayers or good works that you must do to be granted access to heaven.  We can do no action that benefits God in any way, because He is God, He is eternal, already complete and if we could do an action that benefited Him, then in some way He would be found to be lacking in something.  This is why the gift of the sacrifice of God's son, Jesus is completely, free and unmerited, because if all the human beings that have ever lived prayed constantly from their conception to their death could still not open the gates of Heaven and save us from the eternal suffering of hell they way that the blood of Jesus did.  

Yet, God gives us an 'action' plan of salvation.  We are not to just stay in our Churches and 'check the box' of Sunday Mass or Church service and think we are 'done' with God stuff for that week.  Have we basically gone up to God after a week of living the way WE choose and not the way GOD chooses and saying, "So God, are we good?"  These are the lukewarm most in danger of eternal fire because they seek only something for themselves and nothing for their brother or sister. 

This action that God seeks of us is an action of love for another that is completely hidden, between you and God alone.  If you are seeking notoriety, or to tell someone of the good works you do, then your audience is your God, not Jesus.  In being hidden we communicate more effectively  with God and He begins our path of purification.  But what action are we to do if we can do nothing for God?  What did God himself do?  He went forth from the Temple (Church), and preached the word of salvation, healing the sick, not only for their healing and wholeness but to show the truth of God.  But you would say that He was not hidden at these times, and you would be correct.  However, there were far more times that Jesus was hidden and spoke the truth of God and healed the sick that are not written in scripture.   Jesus wasn't doing anything for God, He is God,  Jesus was showing the truth of God and how we are supposed to respond to His word by His love and action for another.   

This is what Jesus is telling us...YOU ARE FOR THE OTHER, serve, pray, teach, heal, raise the dead.   Yes...MIRACLES are possible, but you must be COMPLETELY FOR THE OTHER, seeking NOTHING for yourself but the salvation of the soul that God has put in your path. 

There is a Jesus that you don't know, that can only be revealed through praying and studying the path of the Passion.  Jesus felt the sins of those around Him, and this sin was painful.  Jesus was fully God and His heart suffered feeling the sins of those around Him.   He then offered this pain back to the Father for them.  This was before the Passion.  Jesus was hurting for those in sin long before the Passion, but it is not recorded in scripture.   This is the hidden POURING OUT OF SELF FOR YOUR BRETHREN that Jesus is calling each of us to do.  

It is in this pouring out of self for another in a hidden way that is between you and God alone that our hearts begin the path of purification.  God shapes our hearts to be like either His Son's Sacred Heart, or the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Mother's especially are put on the path of purification toward the Immaculate Heart.  

It is not what we do that merits us heaven, for what we do shall not be weighed on the scales of infinite justice, but WHAT WE DO WITH THE INTENTION IN OUR HEART AT THE TIME OF OUR ACTION, WORD OR THOUGHT. 

The mystery of being hidden, is that right now, you have a hidden heart that only you know.  If you think that God does not see, or know what is deep in your heart, think again.  What is hidden on Earth will be revealed for all to see in Eternity.  

Right now, your hidden heart is either striving for heaven, or striving for hell, you can't straddle the fence with God.    So even if you donate to charity, or volunteer at a homeless shelter, but are in an adulterous relationship, God knows it all.  Don't' think that you can commit adultery and then do 'something for God' to make up for it like charity.  You are still on the road to hell.   God remembers everything we do, say and our intention for our actions FOR ALL ETERNITY.. REPENT while there is still time and return back to God, completely, with thought, word, action...and in the secret of our hearts. 

When you die and face the Judgement, it is your actions, WITH YOUR HEART that will be weighed against the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Will your heart be weighed against this eternal and perfect pouring out of the holy blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and found to be lacking?  Does the devil have his finger on your side of the scale, pulling you to him?

This is also why those that lay their life down for another, the martyrs who offer their life for the reason of love alone go straight to heaven and do not suffer Purgatory because their offering of their very lives for love alone mirrors Christ's offering on the cross.

Time is short...turn your heart fully to God while there is time. 

The Last Age Before the Messiah Comes: The Age of WAR.

In all history of God there have been three ages and we are in the last of the three ages.

The first age was the Age of the Prophets,  This is the age of the creation of Man, the coming together of the Chosen people, the House of Israel, and their purification up to the coming of the Messiah.  We see God crying to His chosen children begging for their repentance and for them to turn away from their sin.

The second age is the Age of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.  This encompasses His holy conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary and continues through His life, miracles, preaching, suffering, death and resurrection.  This age was not completed at the Resurrection of Jesus, but continuing till the present day with the fruit of the apostolic spreading of the Word of God via the Holy Spirit.  

The last age that has started, and is continuous with the Age of the Messiah is the Age of War.  This is the most terrifying of the three ages, because at the end of this age the Lord Jesus returns.  

Whenever there was a danger to God's people, God has ALWAYS sent a Prophet, a Messenger to warn of the danger, and beg the people to repent of their sin and turn back to our Holy God before it was too late.  Too late for what? For Christ's return which is closer than anyone can imagine.

If you understood the terror of the Cross you would listen to me.  What should terrify us is what it truly means that God Jehovah took flesh and submitted to the Crucifixion for our Salvation.  

This brings a great responsibility on our part to be HOLY.  

Yes, God is infinitely merciful and does not desire the loss of one soul, no not one.  But God is perfectly just, and when He returns as the just Judge, there will be no more time for mercy!  Where the economy of the soul is at that moment can determine the souls destination for ALL ETERNITY.   Do not let the light be extinguished at night unless you have reconciled yourself to God. 

God always prepares His people for the next big event in the economy of Eternity.  God sent the Prophets, they were abused, scoffed at, killed.  God sent His Son, and He was Crucified. 
But GOD ALWAYS PREPARES THE WAY for His next arrival!  

But this preparation is very different.  Yes, God is sending messengers to give the hard truth to as many as possible, but there is something more this time.  God is training and preparing Warriors for battle with the demons for the souls of the lost.  The state of sin in the world is so great, it is greater than the time of the flood of Noah. So God is sending those who will lay down comfort and sacrifice in pleading with God for the blackest of hearts.  God does not need those He sends, but by what those sent will have to suffer for the sake of the Gospel and speaking the truth, God will bring souls to repentance and at the same time purify the Warrior for a greater battle ahead. 
==============================================================
Luke Chapter 17:  

26 'As it was in Noah's day, so will it also be in the days of the Son of man.

27 People were eating and drinking, marrying wives and husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and the Flood came and destroyed them all.

28 It will be the same as it was in Lot's day: people were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,

29 but the day Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and it destroyed them all.

30 It will be the same when the day comes for the Son of man to be revealed.

31 'When that Day comes, no one on the housetop, with his possessions in the house, must come down to collect them, nor must anyone in the fields turn back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.


33 Anyone who tries to preserve his life will lose it; and anyone who loses it will keep it safe.

==============================================================
Now is the time for Holy Souls, innocents, that will willingly lay down their comfort for the sake of the conversion of sinners.   We can no longer deny that we are at war with the devil for the souls of the lost.  We can do nothing for God but we can plead to God and sacrifice something of comfort for our brother in penance for his or her sin.   

The Prophets and Preachers of this age must speak the truth of God, and the Warriors will make war on the Earth battling the devil.  Woe to those who are called to preach the Gospel at this time and reject this call!  

With the Stations offered for a Country, a City, or just to bind a great sin in the way God would have it bound, if our heart is aligned with love for God and seeking only the salvation of lost souls then we can be in our own home church, and at God's will , we can wage war against the demon on the whole Earth.   

With the Holy Mass, the Stations, and the Holy Rosary, if God allows it, the Catholic can change the face of the Earth.   (The trick is you must remain hidden). 

With God with us and with St. Michael the Archangel and the Holy Angels to defend us, who can come against us?  The Rosary is my weapon, humility is my shield and Holy Confession and Holy Communion are my armor in this fight.  

We have been prepared for the Messiah, we have had the Messiah come, and now...we are preparing for the return.   Do I know when this is? No. No one does, and if they say they do, they are either a liar or deceived by the devil.  

"When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the Earth?"  This is our hourglass so to speak, the only measure given us of a possible timing of His coming.  As the world becomes more atheistic and secular, so is the time so much shorter for our repentance and/or conversion before our Lord comes again. 

Now is the time to be AWAKE!

THE EXCHANGE*

The truth of our Salvation is far more terrifying on this side of the Cross than for the Jews before the Incarnation of God in the flesh.  

When you study His Passion, you only begin to understand the truth of what His Blood truly means to both those who accept Him and those who .....reject Him.

When you have touched the edge of Eternity and faced a second of your own future Judgement you are never quite the same again. This is why those that claim to be mystics and have messages from Jesus or Mary but then try to get WEALTH from these claims of mystical knowledge are LIARS.   When you have touched the edge of heaven, you never fully want the things of the earth again, because everything that sparkles is so dull compared to the beauty of Heaven.

I have sure knowledge of God's existence and He has confirmed every promise made to those who love and also fear Him.  I cannot prove His existence, because that is not how He works.  Do not ask God to provide you proof of His existence, ask Him to provide proof of His love, and then watch what happens in your life.

THE EXCHANGE

In the beginning God created with His word, and it was good.  Satan created with his word, and it was evil.   Adam and Eve listened to the devil and by their free will chose death and sin to come into the world.  Man, through Adam had EXCHANGED intimate relationship with God for a stain of sin and death that would be generational.

Because of the unfaithfulness of His people, God allowed His people to go through many tribulations and suffering in order to bring them to a state of purification.  He did this by the creation of life through a holy act of sexual creation.  (The "begat"s in the bible).  With each "begat",  This purification of the hearts of the Jewish people in one lineage (David) led to a heart so pure that the heart of the woman that had the potential to be a holy vessel for God himself to come into her womb.  At God's intervention, at Mary's conception, God made the chosen vessel of the Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, to be Immaculate, or free of the original sin of Adam in her Mother's womb.  

At the exact moment that Mary was perfected to be God's vessel of our Salvation, God rained His blessings on the Earth by sending an angel to say to her, "Hail Favored One!", and with her yes, the story of our Salvation begins.  She was always the first to say yes to Jesus.  She was presented with an EXCHANGE of her own, for this unplanned pregnancy could potentially cost her suffering and even her life.  God in His goodness sent her a protector in the form of Joseph her husband.  

At the conception of Jesus in the womb of the Holy Virgin Mary (for God cannot come into any place that is not holy) the EXCHANGE began.

God EXCHANGED heaven for flesh, and at His death on a Cross, God would leave a permanent sign of the way to heaven through the EXCHANGE.  The sign of this exchange is NOT an empty cross, but one with our Lord on it in His suffering.    

When Moses held up the snake on a wooden staff, those that looked upon it were healed.  Jesus even compared His passion to this event. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that whoever believes may in Him have eternal life."  [John 3:14-15].

Many deny Jesus on the Cross, and protest that He is no longer on the Cross.  True, but if Jesus compared himself to the event in the Old Testament, and did not instruct us to remove the image of the snake on the pole that represented His passion, then we must study the Lord's passion with Jesus ON THE CROSS.    Not to re-crucify our Lord, but to study the ULTIMATE SIGN OF THE EXCHANGE, and find our way to our own final suffering and passion as He wills it.    Only by studying the sign allowed by God which is Jesus ON the Cross can we fully walk the path that is laid before us and drink the cup of suffering that may be presented to us.  

The EXCHANGE  is simple.  A life for a life.  

God came and by His will laid down His life for us, submitting His flesh completely to the will of God, as God allowed His Passion to progress.  He did this not because He had to, not because it was something He could do for His Father, but because the LOVE in His heart brought forth His willingness to lay down His life for all of us. 

 Jesus didn't just begin pouring out His life for us at His Passion, He began pouring himself out at the beginning of His ministry.  Feeding the poor, healing the sick, raising the dead,  showing us not only holy poverty but God's providence in that holy poverty.   In His poverty Jesus paid his bills in holy obedience.  (The temple tax). 

As the shadow of the Cross passes over us, we know that we too must walk our own path to Calvary, not exactly as He did, but as we have been assigned and placed on this Earth and to the best of our abilities.  

Jesus did nothing for Himself, and we see Him teaching and giving all for others, pouring Himself out for others through all His Ministry.  All of this was like the previews to what the final destination would be, but the message from all of it is the same.  

The road to heaven is to pour yourself out for another because of love for God and the one you pour yourself out for.  In order to seek the salvation and the good of another because you love God so much you would not wish to feel the heart of God hurt by the loss of a soul to hell for all time.  Knowing that you can do nothing for God, but as you love Him, you know that His heart will be moved by your love to work in the life and salvation of those you pray for. All of this must be done to seek NOTHING FOR SELF.  We only pray for a few crumbs from the Master's table to fall to us at the judgement.  This is giving a life for a life.  

This is what the Saints knew, and tried to teach us.  Fasting, prayer, works of charity, and with the greatest love of God in the hearts of the Saints, even miracles.   When we see the life of a person completely make a 180 degree turn, and every aspect of the person's life changes to reflect the life God wishes for us, we are witnessing a soul who has accepted the EXCHANGE.    St. Augustine of Hippo is one of these. 

The Saints that embraced Holy Poverty, Obedience, and Chastity, giving all that they had for love alone to God and others, where those that also realized the terrifying aspect of the Cross.

The terrifying aspect of the Cross is that before the moment of His Ascension into Heaven was 100% of God's mercy poured on the Earth in the form of the Blood of His Son.  On the judgement side of the Cross will be the Judgement of God when He returns.  Each of us will be presented with His Passion and Crucifixion in comparison to how we have lived our own Passion in our lives in our book of life.

While we live, we are still on this side of the Cross, the side of His love and Mercy.  We have time to repent and preach to other's the importance of studying the Passion of our Lord on the Cross so that those who would, will accept the gift of the EXCHANGE.

Look at the world.  How many are shirking the EXCHANGE in their lives, leading lives of complete "me, me, me..." selfishness.  This self centeredness leads to so many sins; adultery, lying, stealing, murder, all sexual sins.  How many are on the path of destruction because they wish their own will and not Gods.  

Jesus taught us this also.  

The Innocent must pay for the guilty.

Holy hidden souls are needed that love God and are willing to do much Penance and offer sacrifices for the sake of the Salvation of those who are running headlong into eternal damnation. 

If we have someone we love who is not saved, or living an atheistic life, then if we say we love them, we can offer some small sacrifice and do penance for this soul.   All of this must be completely hidden from the eyes of others, for if we seek acclaim for our holiness, we have cut off our communication with the ONE who can actually do something about the one we love who is lost.     

The time of  seeking mercy by the Holy Passion and Crucifixion of our Lord is a limited proposition.   There will come a time when our Lord will say..."That's it, time's up. "  

Do the sacrifice now, do penance now, for the one you seek to know God, and never give up on those that are lost, even to your last breath.

The Greatest Victory on the Earth

He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover* with you before I suffer."

Why. Why did He desire it, and for how long? He is God, how long can God desire one Passover? I'll tell you how long, since the fall of Adam and Eve. Before there was a Passover, God desired this one. Why this one? Because it is a sacrifice offered that would NEVER be rejected by God.

If you read the Old Testament, there were sacrifices offered to God that were rejected by God. Many times He says he will not accept their burnt offerings because of their sin. Many hear an angry God, I hear a God hurt by our sin because He is so much in love with us. Did God have to reject the burnt offerings of the Jews because of their sin? Yes. If God is perfectly just, by God's own word, there were times when God did not accept the offerings from the altar at the temple.

So what did God desire? God desires a heart offered to Him for the people He loves. A heart so great, so poured out that their was no human heart on the earth that could offer such a perfect heart to God. So God fashioned His own heart through the lineage of Jesus through thousands of years until the perfect heart was conceived in the womb of a Virgin. Birthed of flesh, God's own heart, the Sacred Heart, beat and began to be poured out to God for those He loves.

Now we are here, at the Passover, the moment God had waited for for so long. Although Jesus must suffer, it was not His suffering He was anxious for, .....it was this, the first Mass. Yes He knew of His suffering, and predicted it many times, but did not express eagerness for it. (Who would?) Yet He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.." 

God through this Passover was transforming the Passover to a perfect oblation that would always be accepted by God, and NEVER rejected. By God's true and real presence, body, blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Eucharist, offered to the Father for all people on the Earth, a perfect, spotless oblation that would never be rejected by God was put in place.  God is perfect, and He will never go against His word. We must remember God said that "...cursed is anyone who hangs on a tree." An oblation would need to be offered to God to overcome this so that the cross would be our salvation and not our condemnation. 

If we think logically, we can see this is true. If God's word is true, then there would have to be an oblation offered to God that was perfect, pure, and holy, that God would never reject. This would have to be the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, mere bread and wine would not have done it. In the past, offerings were rejected, but the body and blood of our Lord Jesus would never be rejected. Jesus's body and blood are so precious to the Father, otherwise He would not have formed them as He did in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

God in the Old Testament did not desire to reject the burnt offerings of the Jews He loves, but because God is perfect, His justice is perfect and in relation to the gravity of their sin, God's perfect justice demanded it. It is the same as the souls in Purgatory. God does not desire to see the suffering of those He loves so much, but His perfect justice demands it.

This is the Passover, the Last Supper. This is our High Priest, Jesus offering His Body and Blood to the Father so that the cross can be not our condemnation but our salvation. 

 After the sin of Adam and Eve, the heavens where closed. Jesus was opening the Heavens at the Last Supper, but they would not be able to stay permanently opened until after His final oblation, the cross.

Soon, the flesh would be flogged, and painfully nailed to a Cross.  Think about that.  God in the flesh would pour all out in suffering for us.  God is perfectly just, and by His love of the Son, if the Holy Mass had not been offered to the Father first, then at His Crucifixion, by God's perfect justice, we would have been destroyed. 

The greatest witness of God's perfect love and mercy for us is that humanity continued after this moment.....  

God can do anything He wants.  If He gives us the Holy Mass before the Cross, there is a reason for it.    God requires nothing, He is God, so if God does something on the Earth, it is for our benefit.  

The Holy Mass is not greater than the cross, but provides us a path to the cross, and a union with the crucifixion of our Lord like no where else on the Earth. 

Now you know how great the Holy Mass is that God gives us.  

Jesus is not re-crucified, but in the Holy Mass we re-present God with the oblation of His son, and say, "God remember the Cross and be merciful to us."  And by the real presence of God in the Eucharist offered to God, an perfect oblation is offered to God that God will never reject.  No matter the sins of either the Priest or the people, God will always accept the body and blood of  His son in the Holy Eucharist as an oblation for our sins.  Not just Catholics, but all people on the Earth benefit from each and every Holy Mass.

The Holy Mass IS THE GREATEST VICTORY UPON THE EARTH.

Go to Holy Mass!
