Holy Communion for divorced and remarried undermines Sacrament of Matrimony says Pope Benedict...
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed
himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also,
My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession.
"What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose
his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor,
but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of
mortal nature!"
- Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1976
LifeSite News reported on July 28, 2005:
In a speech to priests of the diocese in which he is vacationing, Pope Benedict XVI reiterated Catholic teaching that members of the flock who have been divorced and remarried are in an irregular situation regarding the sacraments and may not receive Communion.
The Catholic Church still holds that remarriage after divorce, though extremely common, is the moral equivalent of adultery, and so bars a person in such circumstances from receiving Communion.
“I would say that a particularly painful situation is that of those who were married in the church, but were not really believers and did so just for tradition, and then finding themselves in a new, nonvalid marriage, convert, find the faith and feel excluded from the sacrament,” he said.
Protecting the feelings of people in such situations, however, is not held as sufficient reason to admit them to Communion. Calling modern marriage a sacrament that is frequently “celebrated without faith,” the Pope reiterated that for a priest to give Communion under such circumstances would only serve to further undermine the integrity of marriage.
“We know that the moment we give in out of love, we harm the sacrament itself, and its indissolubility appears weakened,” Pope Benedict said.
Pope Benedict cited the collapse of the moral order in the 1960’s as the source of so much moral confusion in and out of the Church. He said the situation of the divorced and civilly remarried is one that is “particularly painful,” and commented that the situation is so difficult that he also suffered from it.
Pope Benedict said that even if divorced and civilly remarried Catholics cannot receive the Eucharist, they are part of the church and are loved by Christ; and that suffering out of love for God and for the Church is “a noble suffering.”
While participating at Mass without receiving Communion is not optimal, he said, “it is not nothing; it is involvement in the mystery of the cross and resurrection of Christ.”
"My Son is much grieved, My child, in the manner in which many come to Him in His House. They come with disrespect. They do not have love for Him in their hearts.
"My child, please, they lead themselves onto the road to satan. They must not accept My Son with sin in their hearts. Many do not go to Our representatives. They accept My Son with sin on their souls! Shout it, My child, from the roofs: you must honor the Eucharist!" - Our Lady of the Roses, November 23, 1974
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
DISSOLVEMENT OF MARRIAGE
“My child, you have been much concerned about the dissolvement of many
marriages now in your country. It is truly a sad happening among mankind, My
child, for it is the hand of satan reaching in and capturing the souls of
many. What God has joined together in holy Matrimony, let no man place
asunder. The liberal attitudes now prevalent in My Son's House bring many
tears to Our hearts, for they will lead many souls onto the road to hell.
"Accept your cross, My children, as you struggle through your life with
your spouse. When you are united in the holy bond of Matrimony, you are
responsible for the soul of your spouse. Unto death shall you part, and only
unto death will you part.” - Our Lady, May 15, 1976
REPENT NOW
"I repeat the words of all Heaven, and those who are upon earth--voices
crying out to you in the wilderness: Repent now, while there is time, for
your time is running out. Abortion is murder! Adultery, promiscuousness,
sexual aberrations shall neither be condoned nor reasoned as being right,
when they are wrong! These abominations are condemned by all Heaven.” -
Our Lady, October 6, 1979
FASHIONABLE IN U.S. TO LIVE TOGETHER IN SIN
"This I can tell you--because We are much grieved as We look into the
hearts of the mothers and fathers throughout the world--not many are in the
light. Families are disintegrating; the state of marriage is becoming
nullified. Now it is fashionable in the United States, and many nations of
the world, to discard the Sacrament of Marriage and to live together in sin.
This, My child and My children, cannot be tolerated. Man must come back to
the laws of his God, or he will be destroyed." - Our Lady, May 17, 1986
HOMOSEXUALITY
"Since women have exchanged their roles as women, preferring to be as
men, and have abandoned their true, true value of life--have abandoned their
role as a mother to carry the creation of their God within their wombs,
they, therefore, will also find that their husbands and sons will find
rejection of women, and men will seek lustfully pleasures with men, known,
My child, as homosexuality. And they will be given and abandoned to their
lust, until all creatures upon earth would live in fear. Women then will
find themselves turning lustful eyes to women--lesbianism, My child. And
then will set in all manners of iniquity: murders, covetness, idolatry,
adultery! O My child, the evil abounds upon earth!” - Our Lady, September
28, 1974
ADULTERY OF HEART
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly
foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does
not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly
commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must
live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures
are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
"Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this
little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974
LICENTIOUS LIVING
"O My children, and the nation of the United States that I have placed
My mantle upon to protect you, a country of so greater in abundance
materialistically, but now, sadly, My child and My children, falling fast to
satan: immorality and all manner of licentious living, given over to
murders, abortions, adultery, homosexuality, pagan worship. O My child, the
list would grow longer and longer. In all justice to mankind and in all
honor to your God, can you say that you do not warrant a just punishment?” -
Our Lady, June 18, 1981
TEN MAJOR COMMANDMENTS
"You must understand that the merciful heart of the Father is always
extended to you. You must pray more. You must read and act upon the
Commandments of your God. They can neither be added to, nor modified, nor
taken away. The Ten major Commandments must be followed. And I can see, My
children, that you break many now, and ask for the hand of a wrathful God
upon you. Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not steal! Thou shalt not worship
false gods! Thou shalt not commit adultery! Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's wife! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods!
"My children, on and on I could go on, enumerating the major sins of
mankind. However, since you understand that sin is insanity, to those in the
light, it will appear as though the world has become a snakepit. And I say
'snake,' for it well covers the work of Lucifer.” - Jesus, November 25,
1978
BABYLON THE GREAT
"We want the world to know again that there was a locution given to My
child, Veronica, and it talks of this: Sodom and Gomorrha. Does this seem
similar to you, My children: are you not living now among the realms of
Sodom and Gomorrha? And what happened to that adulterous city? It was
destroyed, just as Babylon the Great shall be destroyed, also.” - Jesus,
October 6, 1988
