Saint Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, was the
disciple of Saint John the Evangelist. Believing that the Church on
earth should resemble that of the heavenly Jerusalem of which Saint
John wrote in his Apocalypse, he established singing in choirs in
his church at Antioch, after a vision of the celestial choirs who
sang in that manner. When the emperor Domitian persecuted the
Church, Saint Ignatius obtained peace for his own flock by fasting
and prayer, although for his own part he desired to suffer with
Christ, and to prove himself a perfect disciple.
He was devoured by lions in the Roman amphitheater. The
wild beasts left nothing of his body except a few bones, which were
reverently treasured at Antioch until their removal in the year 637
to the Church of Saint Clement in Rome. After the martyr’s death,
several Christians saw him in vision, in prayer to Christ, and
interceding for them.
Beware of groups forming that have alienated themselves from their hierarchy...
"My child,
this evening there is one more subject that must be resolved and dismissed
quickly. All over your country and the world, there are groups forming that have
alienated themselves from their hierarchy. I have asked you many times to not
form another church. I have asked you to remain and suffer for all of the souls
upon earth—suffer, even though you know that the Eternal Father watches what is
going on. We do not want a schism. We do not wish that new churches be formed.
Though the meaning is well, they can lead to nothing but destruction and
schism." - Jesus, September 14, 1985
A letter to the Trallians by St.
Ignatius of Antioch:
Ignatius, also
called Theophorus, to the holy church at Tralles in the province of Asia, dear
to God the Father of Jesus Christ, elect and worthy of God, enjoying peace in
body and in the Spirit through the passion of Jesus Christ, who is our hope
through our resurrection when we rise to him. In the manner of the apostles, I
too send greetings to you with the fullness of grace and extend my every best
wish.
Reports of your splendid character have reached me: how
you are beyond reproach and ever unshaken in your patient endurance - qualities
that you have not acquired but are yours by nature. My informant was your own
bishop Polybius, who by the will of God and Jesus Christ visited me here in
Smyrna. He so fully entered into my joy at being in chains for Christ that I
came to see your whole community embodied in him. Moreover, when I learned from
him of your God-given kindliness toward me, I broke out in words of praise for
God. It is on him, I discovered, that you pattern your lives. Your submission to your bishop, who is in the place
of Jesus Christ, shows me that you are not living as men usually do but in the
manner of Jesus himself, who died for us that you might escape death by belief
in his death. Thus one thing is necessary, and you already observe it, that you
do nothing without your bishop; indeed, be subject to the clergy as well, seeing
in them the apostles of Jesus Christ our hope, for if we live in him we shall be
found in him.
Deacons, too, who are ministers of the mysteries of
Jesus should in all things be pleasing to all men. For they are not mere
servants with food and drink, but emissaries of God’s Church; hence they should
guard themselves against anything deserving reproach as they would against fire.
Similarly, all should respect the deacons as
Jesus Christ, just as all should regard the bishop as the image of the
Father, and the clergy as God’s senate and the college of the apostles. Without
these three orders you cannot begin to speak of a church. I am confident
that you share my feelings in this matter, for I have had an example of your
love in the person of your bishop who is with me now. His whole bearing is a
great lesson, and his very gentleness wields a mighty influence.
By God’s grace there are many things I understand, but
I keep well within my limitations for fear that boasting should be my undoing.
At the moment, then, I must be more apprehensive than ever and pay no attention
at all to those who flatter me; their praise is as a scourge. For though I have
a fierce desire to suffer martyrdom, I know not whether I am worthy of it. Most
people are unaware of my passionate longing, but it assails me with increasing
intensity. My present need, then, is for that humility by which the prince of
this world is overthrown.
And so I strongly urge you, not I so much as the love
of Jesus Christ, to be nourished exclusively on Christian fare, abstaining from
the alien food that is heresy. And this you will do if you are neither
arrogant nor cut off from God, from Jesus Christ, and from the bishop and the
teachings of the apostles. Whoever is within the sanctuary is pure; but whoever
is not is unclean. That is to say, whoever acts apart from the bishop and the
clergy and the deacons is not pure in his conscience. In writing this, it is
not that I am aware of anything of the sort among you; I only wish to forewarn
you, for you are my dearest children.
Do not
reject the institutionalized Church of My Son, just because there are some
who have lost the way. Just because some have entered into My Son's Church
to bring about discredit and destroy from within. Do not judge My Son's
Church by the man and the men who run it, but remember: My Son is always
with you.
"Prepare, My children of light, for a great time of
persecution. It will come about that all who follow My Son shall be labeled
as 'crazy,' 'fanatical,' having hallucinations, and all other manners to
commit them and take them from society - a society that is ruled by
Lucifer." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 25, 1978
Our Lady of
the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies...https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/ These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
REMAIN FAITHFUL AND TRUE
"Do not abandon My Son any longer by rejecting His Church. Do not judge My Son's
Church by man. The foundation is My Son, Jesus. And though the walls may develop
cracks, the foundation is solid. Will you not remain and patch these cracks. My
children? We do not wish that you break apart into small groups of discord. No
schisms must take place in My Son's Church. For all who are baptized a Roman
Catholic must die Roman Catholics to enter Heaven. A rejection of the Papacy, a
rejection of the Faith, because of human reasoning shall not be accepted by the
Eternal Father in Heaven. Remain faithful and true forever unto the end." -
Our Lady, November 20, 1979
REMAIN WITH ROME
"We ask you from Heaven not to leave, not to create a schism from your main body
in Rome. You must remain within My Son's Church and pray a constant vigilance of
prayer. Satan and his agents have entered in full battle upon My Son's Church.
Satan has entered into the highest ranks within My Son's Church and the world.
He will manipulate powers, provincials, until he brings about a great
chastisement, because man will not listen and mend his ways." - Our Lady,
February 10, 1977
SHAMBLES
"Up to this time, My child and My children, you know full well that the wishes
and the directives from Rome, from the Eternal Father in Heaven, through Pope
John Paul II, they have been cast aside, each and every individual going his own
way and making My Son's House a shambles." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983
MUST BE
ACCEPTED
"I have given a procedure from the beginning of the Book of life and through
to the end. You must follow fully the procedure. My Church will not be
subdued, though it goes through great trial now.
"I do not want you to leave your parish churches. I want you and counsel
you as your God to remain! If you have any dispute, I ask you for the
preservation of your salvation upon earth, to not cast aside the role of the
priesthood as given through the Apostles, My followers.
"Peter was My first Pope and your first Pope, and as all others who
followed him, they must be accepted. Be they weak or noble, be they with
sanctity or unholiness, they must be accepted and followed....
"I ask you not to judge another. You may counsel, you may give your
viewpoints, but no violence must be used. And I do not want schism. I do not
want any interference from separated brethren in My Church. They must be
brought back. Convert the unbeliever! You must remain united with Rome.
"The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church, for a cleansing
will come about and all that is rotten will fall! And My Church shall be
restored to its former glory!...
"All baptized Roman Catholics must die as baptized Roman Catholics, or
they shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!" - Jesus, June 9, 1979
FAITH AND MORALS
"Many now rebel against their leader, their God-given leader, your Vicar. In
matters of faith and morals, man must not change the God-given laws, coming from
the seat of Peter, and established through tradition upon earth through My Son's
Church." - Our Lady, October 6, 1979
TRADITION A SAFEGUARD
"My child and My children, I need not repeat to you the necessity to retain
tradition. It was like a valve, a safeguard from the eruption of My Son's
Church, a schism, a division within My Son's House upon earth. I cry unto you,
your Mother, as I hasten back and forth bringing you the Message, the counsel
from Heaven. You must recognize—bishops,
cardinals and pastors—you
must recognize what is happening now in My Son's House. There is being rebuilt
before your very eyes another religion, another church of man. No angels are
helping in this building." - Our Lady, September 7, 1978
NEW CHURCH
"You must pray, pray much for your Holy Father. He suffers greatly from
disobedience of those under him in his rule. Yes, My child, it appears now that
there is a form of insanity taking place in Rome, for priests, prelates,
cardinals and bishops, are all running around with their heads in a fog. They
have great plans, My child, to build a new church, a church of man. But My Son
has other plans. Their time is running out. My child, My children, this new
church they are building, but no angels help to build, only demons--they are
building a church of man, using as a foundation the basic carnal nature of
mankind. There is nothing beautiful of spirit; it is all humanistic, My child,
modernistic. And what are they doing but they are building the church of man
with Satan as the director!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1977
EVILS ALLOWED TO ENTER ROME
"It is not the wish of the Eternal Father that there be discord in the Eternal
City of Rome. It is not the wish of the Eternal Father that there be a schism
and splitting of the brethren.
"However, because of the times and the sins of mankind, the world of your
peoples has gone into deep darkness of spirit. Much error confounds and confuses
all. It is the wish of the Eternal Father that you remain steadfast and by
example continue to fight with prayer, penance, and atonement, the evils that
man has allowed to enter upon the world and the Eternal City of Rome." -
Jesus, February 10, 1976
MUST BE ACCEPTED, FOLLOWED
"Peter was My first Pope and your first Pope, and as all others who followed
him, they must be accepted. Be they weak or noble, be they with sanctity or
unholiness, they must be accepted and followed....
"I ask you not to judge another. You may counsel, you may give your
viewpoints, but no violence must be used. And I do not want schism. I do not
want any interference from separated brethren in My Church. They must be brought
back. Convert the unbeliever! You must remain united with Rome.
"The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church, for a cleansing
will come about and all that is rotten will fall! And My Church shall be
restored to its former glory!" - Jesus, June 9, 1979
MANKIND ON PATH OF SCHISM
"The Eternal Father in Heaven is watching as mankind is setting himself fast
upon a path of schism. There will be much strife within the Eternal City, My
child. You must keep a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, April 10,
1976
BATTLEGROUND
"The world has now become a battleground of the spirits. You must not become
engrossed in inconsequential, minor matters involving your salvation, My
children. I refer to the separation of your brothers and sisters from My Son's
Church, as they are misled. They are misled because it is not the plan of the
Eternal Father to have a schism, a breaking away from My Son's Church." - Our
Lady, March 18, 1976
STAND BEHIND YOUR VICAR "I have wandered throughout the world crying to My children, and My tears
fall upon you, for as I have cried for obedience to your Eternal Father in
Heaven, and also to Our Pope, Our poor Vicar, who suffers much at the hands of
the enemies of your God.
"You must pray for your bishops, you must pray for all the clergy, and
especially you must stand behind your Vicar, Pope John Paul II, because there
will be another attempt upon his life." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983
PETER'S DESCENDANTS SHALL RULE
"You must not compromise your Faith, My children, by bringing in those who have
separated themselves from your true Church. This Church was founded by My Son,
and He set a leader, a Pope, among you.
"Peter and his descendants shall rule. There shall not be set up a
governing body of hierarchy!" - Our Lady, November 20, 1975
UNEVENLY YOKED
"My children, do not compromise your Faith. Do not join with the enemies of My
Son. And I say unto you: All who know of My Son and deny that He is the Christ,
they are the Antichrist. Birds of a feather will flock together. Do not become
unevenly yoked. You must not gather all churches with the one true Church, for
you cannot do this now. You are deceived, and you are deceiving.
"You must not compromise your Faith. You cannot lower your standards and
bring others into My Son's Church, for you bring in all manner of heresy and
abominations. By your example did you gather Our sheep, and by your example now
do you scatter them." - Our Lady, June 5, 1976
CANNOT SEPARATE
"I beg you, pastors in My Son's House, to wash your garments in suffering and
prayer, for you have sullied them in your quest for worldly power and riches.
You must divest yourself of all self-seeking, and return My Son's House and
gather the sheep into one fold, but not gather them at the expense of Tradition.
"You cannot separate Tradition from your Faith, My children. The past
leaders of My Son's Church, His House, the popes, had given you counsel to
strengthen this House. You cannot cast this counsel aside for modernistic
tendencies and modes." - Our Lady, August 19, 1978
PRAY FOR POPE
JOHN PAUL II
"My child and My children, charity must be exercised at all times, but this
charity does not mean that you must compromise the Faith or the doctrine of
My Son's Church.
"You will all pray for your Holy Father in Rome, Pope John Paul II. There
is a devious and diabolical force now trying to tear asunder My Son's
Church. The laity must now go forward and save My Son's Church." - Our
Lady, June 18, 1979
