 1. The Liturgy.

     The Liturgy of the whole of last week was about ‘being perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect.’ This is required for the salvation of one’s soul. Christ said so. 

      To be perfect means to know what are all the commands of Christ, to know how to observe them, and to actually obey or observe them…. until we can love our enemies.

       Where can you find the commands of Christ? From the Gospels of the Masses every Sunday and every day of the week. To miss one command of Christ by missing one Gospel in a missed Mass makes one’s Faith imperfect and salvation is doubtful. 

       Where can we find ‘how to obey those commandments?’ The ‘how’ was, also, given by Christ to the first Christian communities but the evangelists did not write it down because it was too long. St. John wrote that the ‘how’ could fill up the libraries of the world. Fortunately the first holy bishops, called the Fathers of the Church, found time to write it down. We have them all, now. 

        How do we put these commands into practice. This is the third element of Faith found in the Apostolic Commission, and this is called ascetical theology. This is difficult to do. But these are all found arranged to be observed in proper order in the Liturgy of the Mass. 

       To know all the commands of Christ, to know how to observe them, and to actually put them into practice……is to serve God, alone. It, also means, loving God alone, the consequence of which is that one will hate the world and will never serve the world. Christ said; you cannot serve two masters. You will surely love one and hate the other. 

        He who loves the world, i.e. anything in the world, like money, position, etc, he will surely hate God, his wife, children, friends and all  men in the world.  Since all men can really be divided into ‘those for Me and those against Me,’ the world can really be divided into those for God and those against God, the devil. You cannot serve two master; God and the devil. You will love one and hate the other. 

2. St. Augustine’s ‘aversion ad Deo, conversio ad creaturam, ‘ and vice versa.

      The above command of Christ was explained by St. Augustine in this way. If a soul is converted to God he will have aversion towards everything in the world. On the other hand, if a soul is converted to the world or loves the world, he will hate everything that is of God and hate all his neighbour, his wife, children, etc. 

     Love of God is in the spiritual level. Love for worldly things, which is in the natural level, cannot co-exist with something spiritual. According to one’s preference, the other one will be excluded. 

     All men are born loving the world, therefore, hate God and all their neighbour. Man needs the help of God to turn around and love God through a process wherein that will turn him gradually from the love of the world to the love of God. The Liturgy from Ash Wednesday up to Pentecost shows man how to go about it. 

3. A simple formula.

     The Fathers of the Church in commenting upon the words of Christ in the New Testament pointed out the way to turn around from the love of the world  to love of God. First, follow the easier path as presented by the Liturgy from Ash Wednesday up to Holy Week as graphically presented in the Rule of St. Benedict. Secondly, proceed towards the more difficult path as presented by the Liturgy from Holy Week to Pentecost as presented in the Rule of St. Romuald.

       Note that the Liturgy contains always the commemoration of a saint or event in the Life of the saints. These commemorations are examples in the life of the saints on how the main message of the Liturgy is put into actual practice.

       The Rule of St. Benedict was observed both by St. Benedict and St. Romuald. So the same Rule is for beginners, like St. Benedict, and for the perfect, like St. Romuald. Because the Rule of St. Benedict contains the entire Liturgy from Ash Wednesday up to Pentecost. The latter saint, simply observe the same identical Rule in a deeper way; While some followers of St. Benedict who were beginners, prayed the Psalms in the Old Testament way, the followers of St. Benedict who were advanced like St. Romuald prayed the Psalms in the New Testament way.  They prayed exactly the same Divine Office. 

 4. Serving the master perfectly.

     The Liturgy of the last week had been emphasising the need to be ‘perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect.’ To deserve to go to heaven, a follower of Christ must ‘perfectly’ serve God and have ‘aversio’ towards ‘creaturas.’ To serve God means to love God with all your mind, all your heart, all your will and all your strength. In short, there must be, absolutely, no place for worldly creatures in one’s mind, heart, will and strength. 

       Today, that is impossible. We live in a era where mankind loves the world, is caring only for the world and who is, in fact, worshipping the Mother World. All have chosen their master. Very few have chosen God; so few we cannot even find them. Almost all have chosen the world whose prince is Lucifer; thus most have consciously chosen to be the subject of its prince. 

              

 1. The Liturgy of the Mass.

      Why is daily Mass necessary? To go to heaven we must love God. Christ said; ‘If you love Me, keep My commandments.’ Where do we find all the commandments of Christ that we must know and observe? In Divine Revelation. Is it enough for us to read the Bible, master and obey the commands of Christ as found there? No. We don’t just read the Bible. We learn our religion from the official teaching of the Church as laid down in the Liturgy of the Mass.

2. The order in obeying the commands of Christ.

     There are several commands of God the Father in the Old Testament and several commands of God the Son in the New Testament. Both are available in Divine Revelation or the Bible. But to find those commands in the Bible, learn how to obey them and actually obey them is total confusion. And St. Thomas said so. He said that God had intentionally jumble up all the commands of God in the Bible so that nobody can know them, nobody can interpret them correctly and nobody can obey them. In short, We can learn how to love God by obeying His commands through the Liturgy of the daily Mass. 

      God had, intentionally, jumbled up all the commands in Scriptures to confuse those false preachers who intend to use Christ’s teaching  to enrich themselves as all false preachers do. Most of them are millionaires with private jets. God made it in such a way that no false preacher can be a source of salvation. The Liturgy of the Catholic Church, also, describes who our true preachers should be. 

3. The proper order in learning and obeying the commands of Christ.

     The commands of Christ are all jumbled in total confusion in the four Gospels. Its proper interpretation, given by Christ, Himself, is not found in the Gospels. Though given by Christ to the first Christian community verbally, it was later on written down by the Fathers of the Church. The best experts in Scripture cannot know the proper order in observing the commands of Christ and its proper interpretation. Christ, alone, can teach souls both……in prayer during the Liturgy.

4. The Liturgy is the official school house of Catholic teaching. 

     The teachings of Christ is presented in the form of commandments and in proper order, from the easiest to the most perfect within the Liturgy of the Mass. The soul must follow this regimen zealously and with haste. Never slacking, never stopping, and never regressing. 

     To aid the soul to progress to perfection ‘as the Heavenly Father is perfect’ the Liturgy informs the soul the steps; in what step the soul is and the next step the soul must take. So his progress is continuous, keeping in mind the words of St. Thomas; the soul who stops, regresses. So the soul must continue to progress.

      The Liturgy shows all the steps from the first, for beginners, to the last, for the perfect. And in proper order. This proper order is not found in the Gospel purposely. 

5. For example, during the on going pandemic. 

    Let us take an example on how the Liturgy works. Two years ago, God was going to chastise the world for its sinfulness. Before He chastised the world, the Liturgy prepared the world with Ash Wednesday. The pandemic was going to be like an angel of death; people will be dying over the entire world. Since this pandemic is a chastisement to remind the world that it has sinned and in danger of going to hell, the Liturgy taught how sins are forgiven according to the New Testament, on Ash Wednesday last year, just before the pandemic. 

     If the world listened, learned and obeyed the daily Gospel lessons from Ash Wednesday up to Easter, like Nineveh, God would have restrained His hands and not chastised the world. There would have not been a pandemic. The lesson on how to prepare one’s soul to repent to stop the chastisement was taught by the Liturgy in its Sunday and daily Masses from Ash Wednesday up to Easter. 

     No priest, bishops and not even Pope Francis preached the necessity of the virtue of Penance from Ash Wednesday. So God let His hand fall and the world was chastised with this pandemic. Since the world had not stop sinning and refused to acquire the virtue of Penance (as described by St. Thomas of Aquinas) the pandemic continues. As such, it has no end. It could go worse into another chastisement. Maybe a great earthquake, a super volcano or even a world war. 

      Though there was Sunday and daily Masses before the pandemic, it seems that no one preached the 50 commands of Christ from Ash Wednesday up to Easter. Because no one knew those commands, how to observe them and how to obey them, which is the work of evangelization as described by Christ in His Apostolic Commission to His apostles. Evidently, no one knew the commands of Christ and the proper order in observing those commands. Not last year and not this year. 

      These things can be learned in the Liturgy of the Mass. Why did God cancel the Liturgy world wide. There were no Sunday and daily Masses. As Ezechiel wrote; when God sees that people are not interested in saving their souls, God does not send good preachers and teachers. Both preachers and listeners remain totally ignorant of the way to salvation. 

      A few may really be interested in saving their souls, God, personally intervenes on their behalf. This is extraordinary, but it often happens today.

6. Sunday Mass, alone,  cannot perfect the Faith.

    To be saved, a soul must have perfect repentance and perfect Faith enlivened with Charity. Faith and Charity is obedience to all the commands of Christ. The commands of Christ is given in each Gospel of the Mass, both during Sundays and daily Masses. So those hearing Mass on Sundays only cannot learn seven commands every week. Ignorance of seven commands, the soul cannot have perfect Faith enlivened with Charity, i.e. he cannot be saved. Having missed the Gospels of the Sunday and daily Masses for the last two years during the pandemic, nobody can know all the commands of Christ. No such person can be saved. And that is you and me. 

7. What are you going to do about it?

     In your locked down home, study the Liturgy of the Mass with you Daily Missal. Read the Gospel. Look for the correct interpretation from the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, short cut, Summa theological, by St. Thomas of Aquinas can combines all the Fathers and doctors of the Church. Then put it into practice. 

     The pandemic is a test, if you do the above or not. If you do it, there is nothing to worry. 

      

  1. The Liturgy.

      Jesus Christ, always, reminded the Jews that He came not to abolish the Law but to perfect it. His whole preaching consists in perfecting the Old Testament Law to introduce the New testament, the era of grace. The Old Testament spirituality could be learned and obeyed without the aid of grace. But the New Testament cannot be understood,  learned and obeyed without the help of God’s grace. 

       Salvation is ‘to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect,’ and this is in the supernatural level where grace is greatly needed. So we see in today’s Gospel Christ seeing the Pharisees obeying the life of repentance according to the Old Testament and unable to rise up to the supernatural level to observe the life of repentance of the New Testament. Thus their sins could not be forgiven. 

       St. Thomas of Aquinas distinguished the Old Testament repentance which St. John the Baptist said could not forgive sins, to the New Testament repentance that Christ would introduce which alone could forgive sins. Catholics, today, go to confession using the Old Testament repentance, thinking wrongly that that can forgive sins. No wonder God had cancelled all confession during the two years pandemic because everybody has got it wrong. Everybody has remained in the state of sin that will surely sent them to hell and nobody knows it, because those who are supposed to teach this doctrine, the priest, bishops and Pope Francis, don’t know it themselves. Proof? Nobody has preached the New Testament life of repentance correctly up to today. Check it up in all the videos in You tube and in treatises in the Internet. None!

         It could be somewhere in the Internet but I have not found it yet. But I see it in the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church in my library. Let us see the life of repentance according to the Old Testament and, then, see the life of repentance perfected by Christ in the New Testament which alone can forgive sins and consequently perfect a soul ‘like the Heavenly Father is perfect,’ the requirement for the salvation of soul.

2. Old Testament life of repentance.

     As taught by St. John the Baptist, the life of repentance consist in Prayer, fasting and good works.  These are all in the natural level; prayer is praying the psalms in the natural level asking for long life, material prosperity and good health. Fasting is giving up of physical things like food and drink. Good works is feeding and giving drink to the hungry and thirsty. These three acts accompany sorrow for sins and purpose of amendment never to sin again. St. John said, this did not forgive sins.

3. New Testament life of repentance.

    Consist in attaining the spiritual virtue of Penance through a life of prayer, fasting and good works done by the spiritual faculties of the soul. Prayer is the lifting up of the mind and heart to God. Fasting is giving up the desires of the mind and heart. Good works is performing the spiritual works of mercy towards others. Everything is in the spiritual level. The New Testament life of repentance must be done together with the Old Testament life of repentance. What forgives sins is the latter and not the former. 

     Christ, as St. John the Baptist said, came to perfect the Old Testament repentance and introduce the New Testament repentance which is essentially an act of grace that really forgives past sins. 

4. The error of the institutional church and the pandemic.

     The institutional church, i.e. the Vatican, your diocese and your parish teach that sins are forgiven through the Old Testament repentance, while omitting entirely the New Testament developing of the virtue of Penance. St. Thomas noted this great error; in that the O.T. repentance does not forgive sins. It is the New Testament repentance that gives grace and the virtue of Penance that forgives sins.

      God sent the Corona virus that cancelled all confessions, was to remind mankind that the forgiveness of sins cannot be attained by any other way except through the New Testament repentance through the attainment of grace and the virtue of Penance that can be easily attained through an environment of being locked down in one’s home. 

5. The Pharisees bogged down in the Old Testament.

     Christ, in the Gospel, was correcting the Pharisees for being bogged down in the Old Testament and unable to enter into the New Testament, thus could not have their sins forgiven. They were bogged down in the natural level and unable to rise up to the spiritual act of repentance. 

     Of course, one needs grace to receive the grace of Penance and rise up to the supernatural level of the New Testament, which the Pharisee could not do. Our priest, bishops and Pope Francis are in the same state; they have remained in the natural level, like concerned on global warming, and are unable to rise up to the spiritual level. Unable to rise up from the natural level, they are unable to remain in the natural level. For to be bogged down in the natural level is to be punished to regress to the unnatural level. 

     Lately in the Philippine news, our bishops went against the government’s effort to build a damn to supply the Catholic Filipinos with potable water and irrigation system to provide more farms to produce food. God’s command is to give drink to the thirsty and good to the hungry. The bishops are not doing that and they even prevented the government to provide both drink and food. If they could perform this work of corporal mercy, should they not allow the government to provide both? The bishops could not and even prevented the government from doing so. 

     Our bishops could not even be as good as the Pharisees who bragged that they gave food and drink to the poor. Christ said; to go to heaven you must surpass the righteousness of the Pharisees. Being worse than the Pharisees, where will they go?

      Not only were they unable to provide spiritual food and drink for the souls of the Filipino soul. They would not provide food and drink for the body. And even prevented the government from providing both. Not only did they descend from the spiritual level. They descended below the natural level so they must be in the unnatural level. So we see them officiating in same sex ceremonies. And a few are known to have affairs with the same sex. 

      Souls can only be saved if they are in the spiritual level. Souls cannot be saved in the natural level. All the more, souls cannot be saved in the unnatural level. So where are our bishops going? And dragging both the government and the people down to hell with them. Does the Fatima apparition on hell look familiar?

6. During the pandemic.

     Today, while millions die, with their faithlessness they spend their time forbidding the Sacraments while teaching no one how to die. Like all faithless people, they have remained in the natural level, occasionally descending to the unnatural level; and never rising to the supernatural level, the level where the Catholic church exists. Are they Catholics?

  1. The Liturgy.

      The Liturgy had been teaching how man must progress from being a slave of original sin and, recently, teaching how one must be perfect to deserve everlasting life in heaven.

      God made man, Adam and Eve, almost perfect. And they could have remained perfect if they passed their test in the garden of Eden. But they failed by disobeying God. This disobedience had been called original sin which all man inherited. This state is the lowest sinful state man can be. 

      The Liturgy had been describing how man can rise up from this lowly state and reach the state of being perfect like God. This is God’s requirement for the salvation of one’s soul after He has taught the human race through the Liturgy how to rise from the state of abominable sinfulness to the heights of being perfect like God. 

2. Of course, man cannot be as perfect as God.

     Man can only be like God. But up to what point? God gave the maximum required for salvation; perfect Faith with love of God, love of neighbour, love of husband, wife, children, friends. Up to love of enemy.That’s it. Christ showed the example on the cross, martyrs showed it in the Coliseum.  Christians, today, are showing it in Egypt, Nigeria, etc. We must show it today.

     We must love our enemies to be ‘as perfect as God.’ And we do it by praying for him that he may be saved. We do not have to do anything else. Just pray for him that he may be converted. Probably he will never be converted but we, on our part, must pray for the salvation of his soul, that we may become as perfect as God. 

3. The stages leading towards Christian perfection. 

    First stage. Each man begins as a child with natural holiness, thus Christ said, ‘unless you become like little children.’ But he loses this natural holiness when he reaches the age of reason and makes his first act of free will to sin. A man becomes a deplorable sinner in the image of Cain. He has the inward tendency to kill ‘the good,’ because of the rising evil in him influenced by original sin. Cain killed his brother Abel, not because he was his brother but because he saw him as ‘pleasing to God,’ a good person. From this stage God taught man to rise up to the natural law with the ‘golden rule,’ to do to others what you want others to do unto you.’ 

      Second stage, the natural law. With ‘do unto others what you want others to do unto you,’ man was given a rule of life to be able to do good to others and avoid doing evil to others. But due to original sin, man keeps on making mistakes on what ‘good’ to do to others and what ‘evil’ to avoid. In fact, in an attempt to worship God they tend to commit more mistakes by worshipping the wrong god and the mistake of offering human sacrifices to the wrong god, like the Aztecs at the time of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. 

       Third stage. To guide man higher, God gave them the 10 commandments in the Old Testament where it is written ‘ not to kill.’ But man continue to kill. It seems mankind was having great difficulty to advance from sinfulness towards ‘perfection.’

       Fourth stage. So Christ was born to begin the era of grace where God, Himself, will teach man what is right and what is wrong, teach him how to choose what is right and give him the power to obey God’s commands that lead towards being ‘perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.’ This last stage is impossible without grace. It is attainable, only, with the help of grace. God, only, requires that man have the proper disposition, which is humility; i.e. man must fully realise that he cannot be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect without the grace from God. Unfortunately, most of the human race believe they can be perfect all by themselves without any help from God. In fact, man’s greatest sin is that he thinks he is god, who, only, needs a little help from science and he can do thing perfectly without God.

4. To be saved.

     To remain in the three lower stages means condemnation. To be saved man must rise up to the level of grace and be ‘perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.’

      To be perfect means to rise up to the level of grace. It means to have perfect Faith, the theological virtue. And to have the beginnings of the theological virtue of Charity. The Liturgy from Ash Wednesday, which was celebrated last year just before God chastised the world with the Corona virus, was meant to teach mankind how to prepare for the eventuality of death due to the virus. We are now in the second year of the Liturgy and man has not learned how to prepare for the eventuality of death. The effort is still in trying to avoid death which could come in a hundred different ways. 

      Here is the complete steps to reach perfection. First, one must live a perfect life of repentance. This is attained when a soul receives from God the virtue of Penance through a life of prayer, fasting and good works. Having attained perfect Penance, a soul receives from God the theological virtue of Faith together with graces and the theological virtue of Charity. The virtue of Charity must be perfected until one receives from Christ the first breath of the Holy Spirit that will enable the soul to love one’s neighbour. With love of neighbour, the soul must rise up to loving parents, husband, wife, children, relatives and friends. And lastly, the soul must love one’s enemies. Loving all the above is from the same virtue of Charity that includes love of God’s creatures. 

     That is the highest perfection that man can achieve with the help of the grace of God. Man does not become as perfect as God; he, simply, become perfect ‘as God is perfect.’ Man imitates in a lower degree the perfection of God. 

       For Catholics, he must be perfect as God the Father is perfect, otherwise, he is not even a Catholic. He cannot do this on his own. He cannot reach this without the grace of God. Thus he must,  in fact, be a contemplative in his way of prayer, to be able to reach this stage. Being a highly spiritual state, no one can see or discern this. It is impossible for most to know who these people are.

        To be ‘perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect,’ is the first requirement for canonisation of a saint. The present Vatican bureaucracy does not know this, thus they are canonising without fulfilling this requirement which make their canonisation process doubtful. All the recent documents for the process of canonisation lacks this requirement, which is present in the process in the canonisation of St. Therese of Lisieux. 

          To be truly Catholic, we must be as ‘perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect.’ Most men are not even observing the 10 commandments of God. Most have not even graduated from being Aztecs, offering human sacrifices. The whole world, like the G7 had even fostered the killing of babies world wide, while US citizens pay taxes to support abortion with the consent of many of the US bishops. Some have not even stopped being Cains, killing the ‘good’ Abel. The human race have not progressed at all towards the life of grace. 

        And, yet, God said clearly, that only those who are ‘perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect’ can go to heaven. 

         

     

 1. The image of Christ.

     Since Ash Wednesday last year, through Ash Wednesday this year and proceeding towards Wednesday of the 10th Week in Ordinary Time, the Liturgy of the Mass, for a second time around, had been describing the totality of the true Church of Christ by describing a typical school of the Lord’s service as having the following; a good curriculum, consisting in the Plan of Salvation. A good teacher in Jesus Christ, the apostles and the Fathers and doctors of the Church. A good classroom in the Church and a good pupil in humble souls. 

      This is the ideal environ in which a soul is educated in the service of the Lord, as described by St. Benedict in his Holy Rule. And twice now has the Liturgy described this ideal ambiance in response to the Chastisement God had sent through the Corona virus, telling the human race that they are completely in the wrong path, going straight to hell instead. And no one is listening. 

       Here is a description of the whole scenario based on the Catholic Doctrine on ‘Divine Providence,’ explained succinctly by St. Thomas of Aquinas in Prima pars, Q. 22, in just four questions.

       In today’s Liturgy, the Gospel states that souls, especially of priests, bishops and Popes, must know the commandments of Christ, must have obeyed the commands of Christ and must know the perfect element Christ had added to purify the commands of the Old Testament.

       The Doctrine of Divine Providence is one doctrine that contains all the commands of God, observance of the commands according to the New Testament plus the perfected version of the O. T.  doctrine. All Catholics must have complete knowledge of this command because all the rest of God’s commands are based on this one general doctrine. Unbelief in this command is total unbelief on all the teachings of Christ.   

2. The Doctrine on Divine Providence is a doctrine that should accompany a true God. All false gods have no Divine Providence.  

      Without Divine Providence, a god is not a god but a devil. The doctrine states that a true God must be in complete control of everything that He has made. And that means everything, because only a true God can be a creator of everything. He controls everything to lead all creatures with intelligence to be happy here on earth and on the next. 

      So far, only the God of the Catholic Church, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, has been proven through philosophy to be the One, true God. He has created all things and rules all creatures to its one ultimate goal, happiness here on earth and in Heaven. 

3. God allows evil as an specific and minor factor to cause a greater good among rational creatures. His blessing is always upon the good who live according to His Divine Providence. His punishment is upon those who, by their own will, chose to go against His Will.

       As part of man’s test to improve his Faith, God warned the human race that one day He will release Lucifer and allow him to establish a diabolical kingdom to counter the kingdom of God. Of course, Lucifer will not be able to establish a similar kingdom but, only, a very inferior kingdom of evil. St. Augustine described this as the City of Man in contrast to the City of God. Both cities are established right now on the earth. 

4. The City of God.

     The City of God is totally  submissive to god.     The City of God is made up of souls who does the three things that Christ did in today’s Gospel; first, it has knowledge of the commands of God. Secondly, it has obeyed the commands of His Father in Heaven. And thirdly, it has perfected obedience to the commands of the Father as perfected by Christ in the New Testament. All souls, including priests, bishops, cardinals and the Pope should have these three degrees of knowledge. With this knowledge, they make up the true Church of Christ.

     Unfortunately, none of them have it. Neither Pope Francis, neither your bishops nor your parish priests.  You can check it up yourselves. Though you must first know what these three degrees of knowledge are. Most people in the world do not even know what are the commands of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. And definitely they have not obeyed them,  and they do not know the perfected version of the Old Testament command as found in the New Testament.

     There was a project in the Philippines directed to educating all diocesan priests on ‘how to obey the commands of Christ;’ this is the last portion of the Apostolic Commission. After more than 40 years, the project bore no fruits. They could not obey the commands of Christ, which makes up the theological virtues of Faith and Charity. Won’t this mean that no diocesan priest is Catholic?

      This situation makes it difficult to find the true Catholic Church  today. 

5. The City of Man.

      The City of Man whose prince is the devil is going nowhere than down to hell. 

      A. The City of Man begins with a rebellion against the authority of God. This rebellion is inspired by Lucifer who first rebelled against God. It immediately spreads to rebellion against all human authorities. All sins are acts of rebellion. The illegal immigrants begin with rebellion against the laws of their own country; to spreads towards rebellion against the laws of the US and continuous to rebellion against all laws within the host countries. 

      The rebellion begins with pride and spreads wide into countless vices. All crimes and sin in the world are rebellions against the authority of God specifically shown in rebellions to the authority of men. Those immigrants are rebelling against their own countries laws and against the US laws and against the laws of the city they immigrate. God punishes such unrepentant souls by letting them descend further to greater immorality. Such immigrants will just descend from one crime and sin to another. Nothing good will ever come from such. 

     B. They begin to show trademark of their author, Lucifer; Pathologic liar. The City of Man being made up of the children of the Father of lies are pathological liars.  The evident sign of the City of Man is Lying. Lucifer is the father of lies, his children are the children of lies. They lie just like they breath air. It is unimaginable how they lie. They lie in front of proofs to the truth. They lie without butting an eye. Most of them are justices, lawyers and mostly politicians. Occasionally they are members of the hierarchy. They are everywhere because the world has become the City of Man; New York, Quebec, Australia, France, Germany. Sadly, even Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Manila. Lie is the air they breath.

      Though lots of people are enjoying refuting their lies  there is nothing they can do about the lies. These liars do not want to be corrected, they do not want to know the truth. They intentionally lie and, want to believe and keep their lies. The Gospel writes; ‘they are enslaved by Satan.’

      They lie against every truth, of course. It is automatic; they hear a truth and they immediately lie against the truth.    

      C. Bothered by their consciences, they go insane. During the rebellion, as man refuses to repent, his conscience begin to bother him. Knowing well they have cheated in an election they have  guilty consciences which  causes any person to go insane little by little until they totally become psychotic.     Insanity is the sure result when guilty conscience persist due to refusal to repent. The person eventually have a bad death and eternal condemnation.

         D. Lover of money. 

              All sins come from vices. Vices are natural to men  because of original sin. All men have them. And salvation consist in overcoming the temptations to give in to vices. One of the strongest vice is love of money. Everybody loves money. And the rich are looked up to because of their money. He who loves money hates God and all his neighbour; ‘you cannot serve two masters, Christ said. You will love one and hate the other. So if you love money, you have God and all your neighbour, i.e. your own wife, husband, children, parents, etc. Everybody. And that is the reason for all the problems in the world. 

               Everybody has a price. Everybody is paid to do evil. And the good do not have enough money to pay souls to do good. The good hate the worldly way  of life, especially money. They won’t even touch money except to give it away in alms giving. Thus the population of the City of Man are those paid to inhabit that city. They are there for no other reason, but for the money. 

           E. To the unnatural.

                From natural sins like adultery, sinful man descends lower to unnatural sins; sodomy, same sex marriage, transvestitism, sex change and bestiality. These unnatural sins, like other sins, are mere sins and can be easily be eradicated through a life of repentance. No one is born  unnatural; everybody is born naturally and can either rise to be children of God or descend into being beasts. Through a life of repentance, the worst beast can be transformed into a saint with the help of grace. There is no excuse for being a beast except that the beast wants to remain a beast. 

6. Just pass the test.

    During this on-going test by God, as from the beginning, man must concentrate on passing the test; not so much to solve the problem. Immigrants must pass their test by remaining where God wants them to be. Solving the immigration problem is not necessary unless it is part of the act of confessing one’s Faith. 

     The descend of sinners to worse immorality will continue till the end of time. The pandemic will continue and could be replaced by worse chastisement; man should just pass the test by living a life of repentance and obtain the gift of Faith from God. That is all God expects from each to pass his test. He does not need to solve any worldly problem. Did the Church the problem of indulgences at the time of Luther? No. It continues up to the present. But God expect all men to pass their test by repenting in the right way; it is upon this that indulgences will work. 

       The angels of death is now upon the world. God is calling everyone to give an account of their lives. Sadly, most are completely ignorant upon what God will based His eternal judgments. It is all in Liturgy, which the Vatican is distorting so man will be completely unprepared to face their Divine Judge. All because they are in the City of Man.

     

     

     

     

         

 1. The Liturgy.

     After teaching the life of repentance, Faith and Charity, from Ash Wednesday up to Ascension, the Ordinary Sundays begun to teach the three steps of evangelization, i.e. on how apostles are supposed to save souls referred to as the Apostolic Commission by Christ. The steps are, first, to go and teach all nations. Secondly, to baptise them. Thirdly, to teach them all the commands of Christ and how to observe them. 

      These three steps may be described in a more specific way as to teach all nations how to reason well in the natural way referred to as philosophy in the form of a syllogism. To teach all nations how to receive the necessary graces from God to proceed to the third step; which is to be able to obey the commands of Christ on Faith and Charity.

2. Putting it in a very personal way.

    To be evangelised properly, I must reason properly that there is only one God and He is the Lord. I must pray for graces from God either through baptism and if I lose the baptismal grace through keeping the baptismal character,  I must live a life of repentance unto the acquisition of the virtue of Penance for the forgiveness of my past sins.

      With this grace, I must proceed to fill my mind with heavenly things and my heart with Divine Charity which consist in loving God and neighbour. 

3. St. Thomas of Aquinas.

    These four things mentioned above, good reasoning, graces, wisdom in the mind and love of God and neighbour in the free will can be attained through the Holy Eucharist as celebrated in the feast of Corpus Christi. The four above things can be attained through the sacrifice of the Mass, from the ‘confiteor,’ through the readings, the consecration and the receiving of Holy Communion. 

     The Liturgy of the Mass, in other words, is the official instrument of evangelization of the Catholic Church. 

     St. Thomas of Aquinas is one saint who attained the four above things through the Sacrifice of the Mass. He is a saint known to reason philosophically very well, to have received countless from God, had acquired great knowledge and wisdom through the celebration of the Mass. Anyone can do the same. He composed countless hymns, poems, prayers and a Mass for Corpus Christi showing through his treatises how the Apostolic Commission of Christ to His apostles can be achieved through the Liturgy of the Mass. 

      The Mass can evangelise souls and it for this reason that the devil had deprived the human race of the Mass during this pandemic. The end of evangelization can be attained through the Liturgy of the Mass even if there is no available priest, bishops or even Pope to celebrate the Mass. The monastic movement did not have frequent Masses and yet monks were very well catechised and the best missionaries like St.Boniface of Germany, and St. Austin of England, St. Bede. Because they lived the Liturgy in their daily lives.

     It is for this reason that the devil had been trying to destroy the Liturgy with abuses but have not succeeded as of now. 

 1. The Apostolic Commission.

     In today’s Gospel, Christ instructed His apostles how to save souls through an Act of mature Faith. Christ’s instruction was in three parts and St. Thomas of Aquinas noted that these three parts must be explained well and be followed in the right order. 

      First, ‘to go and teach all nations.’

      Second, ‘to baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. ‘

      Third, ‘to teach them all My commands and how to observe them.’

2. For the apostles to do first what they are supposed  to teach. 

    The apostles had just undergone this very instruction from Christ. Their training was completed before His Ascension. Thus having undergone the above instruction, Christ, now., commands the Apostles to do the same to the rest of mankind. But wait, Christ tells them to do the same to the rest of mankind after Pentecost, i.e. only after they have received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost…… and not before it. 

     It is known by the whole world that the institutional Church never followed Christ’s Apostolic Commission, even years before  the Council of Trent up to the very present moment. And the present on going pandemic is God’s way of chastising the world. You, Pope Francis, cardinals, bishops priest and nuns, ‘Get your acts together man. You have this My command on how to evangelise  you have not repented, you are going straight to hell. Repent. Believe. Otherwise, if you die right now, you go straight to hell.’ 

      Today, men begun to die. And we would not want to know where they are going. But we can know it easily especially if we are the one’s dying. It all depends if we have observed the Apostolic Commission of Christ as given above, or not. 

3. First, ‘to go and teach all nations.’

    Note that Christ told His apostles to ‘go and teach all nations,’ even before baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The baptism would have no effect unless those baptised are taught. Taught what?

    They must be taught that there is a natural God, and that they must know and obey all His natural commands. This is belief in the Old Testament spirituality which is natural knowledge and available to all men and in fact written in the hearts of all men. No men can say he does not know this because it is imprinted in his soul by God. The commands of God is the famed 10 commandments  given to Moses. All men knows these. But before they can know and obey these 10 commandment, they should believe that there is a natural God whose existence can be proven by philosophy or by common sense, the famed  five proofs of God’s existence by the pagan Aristotle and developed by St. Thomas of Aquinas as the first lesson of the Apostolic Commission.

      So a soul must first know that there is  a god through these five proofs. And believing in the existence of God, a soul must obey His 10 commandments. These are all in the natural level. Then the soul must be baptised so he can receive the graces needed for the next step. 

4. Second, ‘baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.’

    The soul is baptised so that he will receive the graces of Baptism and receive the power to know ‘all My commands, how to observe them, and receive the power to actually obey them.’

     It is impossible to ‘know all the commands of Christ, how to observe them, and actually put them into practice, which make up the mature Act of Faith, without the help of the grace of God. Impossible. So baptism must be valid, it’s graces must not be easily lost, until this last part of the Apostolic Commission is accomplished which gives a soul perfect Faith, the beginnings of Charity, which will make the soul deserving of salvation. 

     But, almost all souls were baptised without being taught the natural proofs of the existence of God and obedience to His 10 commandments. Because most are baptised as babies. Nobody can talk to them and as babies, they will understand nothing. 

     So they receive the character of the Sacrament of Baptism but not the graces. Without the graces, they cannot know the third part of the Apostolic Commission which is the New Testament spirituality. They never become Catholics…..from the Council of Trent, up to the present. No one is becoming Catholics. Except for a very few exception through a direct intervention of God.

      The first and second steps can be interchanged. A soul may, first , be  baptised and then taught the natural proofs of God’s existence and obedience to the 10 commandments of God. This soften happens when the child grow and enter the seminary. 

     Then the soul can proceed to the third,  with the grace from Baptism, to know all the commands of Christ and how to observe them. Then to actually obey all the commands of Christ, thus receiving perfect Faith and the beginnings of Charity that will make them deserving of eternal life. Mission accomplished. 

      Both of the above steps never happened. Souls were neither taught before baptism the existence of God through the five proofs and to obey His ten commandments. Neither was he taught the same, after Baptism. The child kept the character of Baptism but never received the grace of the sacrament. The soul never receive the power from grace to know the commands of Christ and how to observe them. Unable to observe them, the souls of Pope Francis, souls of bishops and priests,  never received the Catholic Faith. They were never evangelised according to the Apostolic Commission given by Christ to the  Apostles. Never, before the Council of Trent when it was first noted, never up to the present, that is obvious to all observers of today’s Gospel. Check it up in all the videos  in You Tube. Mankind was never evangelised according to the Apostolic Commission of Christ to His Apostles. 

       How was the world evangelised? According to some dumb heretics. Mankind did not even reach first base. The second, third and home run bases had always been empty. What a boring game. Only the Popes, up to Benedict XVI filled the bases. 

       Even if the , first, ‘teaching of all nations’ was done properly and Baptism was done properly, it is greatly possible that the baptised could have, immediately, committed actual sin. In which case, he has the baptismal character but does not retain the graces of baptism. Without the grace, the soul cannot proceed to observing the commands of Christ in the New Testament. He cannot, still, enter the Catholic Church by obeying all Christ’s commands and how to observe them. He cannot merit everlasting life. 

5. Everybody disobeyed Christ’s Apostolic Commission.

    If one of the three elements of Christ’s Apostolic Commission had not been observed well, there is no evangelization; there is no salvation of souls. 

    If the first and/or the second elements are not observed, the most important third element cannot be observed well. There will be no love in the world. Christ prophesied that thing will, indeed, happen these days, the decaying of Faith and the waxing cold of Charity. The world today is rotten, dark and cold. So what do we do ?  God, in His great goodness and kindness, made a floating plank in case the ship sinks.  It, also, goes in three steps. First, that we know our sins based on the rule of conscience given to all men. This is the Golden Rule; do not do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you. Secondly, live the live of the virtue of Penance as described by St. Thomas of Aquinas. He differentiated this from the Sacrament of Penance. 

     St. Augustine described the life of Penance as a life of prayer, fasting and good works. This way of life leads a soul to know and obey the commands of Christ that leads to perfect Faith and the beginnings of Charity. 

     This life of the virtue of Penance takes the place of Baptism; it takes away all past sins and makes the soul deserving to receive ample Divine graces from God to perfect its Faith and the enlivening virtue of Charity. The soul is now deserving of eternal life. 

6. Mankind is doing neither. 

     The world is doing neither; neither the Apostolic Commission nor the substitute, the life of repentance, practiced in the monastic movement. Most monks are no longer monastic. They are worldly. 

     In short, mankind does not the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Spirit. Nobody knows the Blessed Trinity, the God of the Catholic Church, because nobody is doing it right. 

7. The pandemic Chastisement if God’s way of saving mankind. 

    The pandemic is not saving mankind. It is merely supplying the perfect atmosphere to the salvation of one’s soul, e.g. the fact that families stay at home together, that all schools where most heresies and error are taught are closed, that there are no jobs where men learn to love money the source of all evil, all entertainments for the flesh are closed, social distancing with sinful neighbours, are cancelled.

8. The devils had been set loose. 

    As God directed, the devils had been set loose to test all men. And God have given him extra powers to tempt mankind. This time God will allow the devil to posses his subjects, worldly people. 

     The signs of Lucifer. God will allow Lucifer  to get his own way, i.e. to establish his own kingdom, the City of Man. Here lies, murder, treason will rule. It will be man’s rebellion against God, i.e. man will do his own will in rebellion agains the will of God. Man’s will , as it always had been will go against God’s will. This battle of wills will fill the whole earth. 

     While Lucifer controls all sinful men and attacks all good men, God will watch until mankind had been divided between the left and the right. When all are in place……..Just concentrate in what  place you are. 

      

                

 1. The Liturgy

     The Liturgy of Ascension had been describing the Catholic Church that Christ had just established; what was the plan of salvation it would be accomplishing, who would be its teachers, where would its classroom be and what kind of pupils it will have. The Sunday and weekdays had been describing who would be its teachers, Jesus Christ first and foremost and the apostles as His successors. 

       The Liturgy today emphasised its teacher again, Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest. As High Priest of the Catholic Church, Christ had three functions according to St. Thomas of Aquinas. First, He would take away the sins of the people. Secondly, He would give them the gift of Faith. And thirdly, He would give them the virtue of Charity. 

        Thus the successors of Christ, the Pope, Bishop and priest should do the same for the Church to be worthy priests of the  Church of Christ. Thus, the Pope, bishop and priest should teach the people how to acquire the virtue of Penance for the forgiveness of their past sins. This consist in living a life of Prayer, Penance and Good works as described by St. Augustine. Acquiring the virtue of Penance is not the same as the sacrament of Penance. The virtue of Penance that should accompany the sacrament is what forgives sins.

         Secondly, the Pope, bishops and priests should teach the people, what Christ commanded the apostles to do, to teach them all the commands of Christ as enumerated in the New Testament and how to obey them, as written down by the Fathers of the Church, that the people may acquire the virtue of Faith. 

         Thirdly, the Pope, bishops and priests should teach the people how to acquire Charity, first, by receiving the first breath of Christ, to empower them to love their neighbour and secondly,  to receive the Holy Spirit to empower them to love God above all things. 

2. Nobody is doing these. 

    Neither Pope Francis, nor the bishops and priests are performing these functions because of the pandemic. The few who are brave enough to celebrate Mass are neither doing these functions. The problem is deeper in that no one seems to know these functions. They are not heard either in preachings nor in written articles. Neither are they found in recent encyclicals or apostolic exhortations. It is due to this ignorance that the present pandemic cannot be contained because it is a chastisement from God informing the Pope, bishops and priests that they do not know how to be good priests. 

       These functions were last seen and heard in the writings of Pope Benedict XVI and John Paul II. After that they were never heard again.

3. The Jews lost their priesthood.

    One of the punishment given by God due to the infidelity of the Jews is that their priesthood was abolished. Is the Catholic Church undergoing the same chastisement. The Catholic Church lost its priesthood during the ongoing pandemic. During the slow reopening of Churches, are they performing the functions of Christ the eternal High Priests. The way things are going, they are not. The priesthood of the Church is gone. Except for a select few that is directly sustained by God to serve the very little church Pope Benedict had been alluding to. 

     St. Thomas of Aquinas had clearly described the functions of the priesthood of Christ. His present successors are not following suit. As the parable of the vineyard showed, when the owner of the vineyard saw that the workers were unfaithful, what did He do? He took away the vineyard from the unfaithful workers and gave to others who would tend to it. Isn’t the world wondering, where is the true Catholic Church?

         

 1.  The Church. 

      During the Ascension, Jesus had completed the image of the Catholic Church that He had just established. That was the job He was sent by the Father to do.  The Liturgy described how that Church looks like, its teachings, its teachers, its classrooms, its pupils. 

      Tuesday and Wednesday shows with the commemoration of St. Gregory VII, St. Bede and St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi how the Church look like years after its establishment.

      St. Gregory VII, the Pope, shows how a Pope should look like. St. Bede shows how a priest should look like. St. Mary Magdalene shows how a layman should look like. All of them have one thing in common which united them into one Church. They all knew the commands of Christ as enumerated in the New Testament; they knew how those commands should be put into practice; and they put into practice all those commands. In short, they recipients of the Apostolic Commission Christ gave the first Apostles and they put them into practice. They conformed to the image of the Church,  Christ established before He ascended to heaven. 

      How does our Catholic parish or diocese look like? How does the Vatican look like?  Nowhere near the Church before the Ascension and nowhere near the Church of Gregory VII, Venerable Bede and Mary Magdalene de Pazzi. In fact, just the opposite. 

2. The Catholic Faith. 

     The Catholic Faith is established by obeying the Apostolic Commission given by Christ to the apostles. The last two phrases are the significant points whose goal is for listeners to make an Act of Catholic Faith; ‘teach them all that I have commanded, and how to observe them.’

      The Catholic Faith is to know all the commandments of Christ as found in the New Testament, and how to observe them as taught by Christ to the first Christian communities  but written down later by the Fathers of the Church. 

        For the above Faith to be alive, it must be enlivened by Charity which consist in obeying the commandments of Christ. Theologians describe this as Faith and Charity, or Faith and Good works. There are approximately 82 commandments of Christ as found in the Gospel of Matthew. True Faith with Charity consist in obeying all of them.

         The image of the true Catholic Church described before the Ascension of Christ to heaven is that the Pope must have mastered all the 82 commandments of Christ and have obeyed them. He must, in turn,  teach these to the cardinals, bishops and priests, who in turn must master them and obey them. And lastly they must teach these commandments to the laity in the dioceses and parishes, who, in turn must obey all of them. 

          When Pope, cardinals, bishops, priests and lay people have obeyed them all, then God will send them the Holy Spirit to unite them into One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. This is how the true Catholic Church looked liked before the Ascension; this is how it should look like today. But it does not look like this today; not before the pandemic,  more so during this pandemic. 

           During the ongoing pandemic, neither the Pope, nor the cardinals and bishops, nor the priest or nuns, nor the laity have heard the commandments of Christ as laid down in the Liturgy of the Mass since the last two Holy Weeks up to today, Tuesday of the 8th week of Easter. No one is showing he has the Catholic Faith, except a very few who have it through a very special intervention of Almighty God. 

3. Proof of what Cardinal Ratzinger wrote in the 1980s on the ‘crisis of Faith,’ in his best selling ‘Ratzinger Report.’

    In the above treatise, Ratzinger noted that the crisis in the Church is due to lack of Faith.  Unbelief or the sin against Faith is the greatest sin. Through unbelief, man remains in sin and becomes totally incapable of progressing forward. Chastisement is a punishment for unbelief.

 4. The sin of unbelief during the Corona pandemic.

      The present pandemic is a chastisement from God for man to see what is his sin. His sin is unbelief and the punishment is condemnation according to Christ. What does the world not believe in? It does not believe in the Divine Providence of God, i.e. in that God controls all of creation. That God decides when a man lives and when he dies. And nobody can change God’s Providence. 

      Man may wear anything; he may wear a mask, a face shield, a gas mask, a hood. He can wear anything and that is alright. He can observe social distancing and live in the opposite side of the earth if he wants.

5. The Church.

      But Faith consist in that man must believe that God dictates who the virus will infect and who will not be infected; who will die and who will live. And most importantly, who will go to heaven when he dies and who will go to hell.

       Faith, also, consist in believing that there is a direct Will of God wherein He willed to create the Chinese and the Americans. And that there is a permissive Will of God that made Him allow the Chinese to make the Corona virus and for the Americans to have a new President.  

      Faith consist in believing that God allowed the Corona pandemic to test the Faith of all men with the end of rewarding the faithful while punishing the unfaithful. True Catholics are those who believe in this Divine Providence of God and have passed this on going test of Faith. 

6. He who does not believe in God’s truth will believe in every lie.

    He who does not believe in Divine Providence but believes in every lie does not belong to the true church completely established by Christ before His Ascension. 

7. The reaction of the whole world shows it has no Faith.

     This reaction of unbelief is more pronounced in the institutional Catholic Church; The behaviour of the Vatican and almost all Diocese and parishes is total unbelief in the doctrine of Divine Providence. 

      There is nothing wrong with the face masks, face shields and social distancing. It is the reason for wearing and doing these that shows no Faith. One can use five masks and shields and still believe in the doctrine of Divine Providence. Unbelief is an act of the mind and will; it is not a physical act. 

       There is nothing wrong with not attending Mass if one is ill. But it is a sign of unbelief if one misses Mass due to fear of the virus; ‘fear not what can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Fear God who can kill both body and soul.’ God kills those guilty of unbelief. Unbelief was the Chosen People’s greatest sin when Christ preached to them. 

        Christ, Himself, prophesied that an age will come when people will experience ‘decay of Faith’ and the ‘waxing cold of Charity.’ Perfect Faith goes hand in hand with Charity; both are theological virtues that go together. Both are needed for salvation, because God  gives the virtue of Charity, only, to those with perfect Faith. That is why God did not send the Holy Spirit, the author of Charity,  on Pentecost until the apostles had perfect Faith which they had before Christ ascended to heaven.

        Most of mankind, today, do not have Charity, i.e. love of God and neighbour. St. Augustine wrote; if you do not love God, you will hate everybody. So what we have is hate crimes. And the only love man know is ‘love of concupiscence,’ the love one has for another for what pleasure he can get from the other. 

      There is no Charity because there is no perfect Faith upon which Charity is based. And there is no perfect Faith because man has not repented of their sins; it is for this reason that God sent the on going Corona virus pandemic, because man has not repented for his sins. And why has man not repented? Because he does not know his sins. How come he does not know his sins? Because he does not know the commandments of Christ, the violation of which is called sin. If Pope Francis and most of the US bishops do not know that abortionist cannot receive Holy Communion, demonstrators will not know that looting is wrong. 

8. How does the true Catholic Church look like. 

    It should look like the day before Ascension Day as described above. We must have a Pope like Gregory VII,  priests like Venerable Bede and a laymen like Mary Magdalene of Pazzi. Is the present institutional Church like that? Reading how the Church look like before Ascension, and reading the lives of the above saints commemorated  in today’s Mass………..it is not. 

     

  1. St. Thomas described pure human love as the love of concupiscence, i.e when one loves another person for the pleasure or benefit he can get from the other. This is the worldly kind of love one hears in love songs and see in movies. It is the only kind of love the human race seems to know. 

      This worldly kind of love is actually hate of God in which case a man really hates everybody and the whole world, St. Augustine wrote. Christ, Himself, prophesied that a day will come when there will be a decay of Faith and the waxing cold of Charity, that there will be no true love in the world due to the decay of Faith. 

       St. Thomas described love, i.e Charity as friendship. It is a relationship between two person where each benefit the other physically and spiritually. The relationship is based on both the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Both are rendering to the other acts of corporal and spiritual works of mercy, the latter being the more important givings. 

        True Christian love is called Charity; this is a supernatural and theological virtue that is infused in the soul by God. Charity is not man made. It is God who infused it with man’s cooperation. 

2. Where is ‘love?’

     The love of concupiscence, or commonly called lust, is everywhere. It has even filled the Church in the form of pedophilia, sodomy and other sexual perversions. And even the Vatican office is filled with them, which shows Christ’s prophecy fulfilled that, today, there is no Faith and no Charity in the institutional Church. In fact, Pope Francis, at the beginning of his papacy gave that well know papal speech declaring that the Catholic Church no longer is based on the three theological virtues, specially Charity. 

       Pope Benedict XVI, himself, wrote ‘Deus Caritas Est’ where he mentioned that the institutional Church seems to be ignorant of true Charity. He gave St. Vincent the Paul and mother Teresa of Calcutta as example of souls who knew what was Charity, in the last paragraph of his encyclical. 

       And, indeed, if anyone takes down any treatise on Faith, Hope and Charity, it is noticeable that the institutional Church have none of them. Of course, the true Church has them but nobody knows where the true Church is today. 

3. Why it is impossible for souls to have Charity.

     The theological virtue of Charity is an infused gift from God. Nobody can acquire this on his own. God gives this to anyone who has done three things; first, he has known all his disobediences to the commands of Christ. Secondly, he has perfectly repented for his sins through a life of prayer, fasting and good works, according to St. Augustine. Thirdly, he has made a perfect Act of Faith. 

      These three steps are none existent today. Nobody knows what are their sins. Sins are disobediences to the commands of Jesus Christ and nobody knows what are the commands of Christ. Not even priests and bishops. Not even Pope Francis. There are 82 commandments taught through the Liturgy and 50 commands from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost. 

       Christ’s Apostolic Commission commanded the apostles ‘to teach all My commands and how to obey them.’ And nobody has done it. Check You Tube for published homilies. No one did it right. How do you expect the laymen to know them. No way. None of them know the commands of Christ. So nobody knows what are their sins. How do you expect anyone to repent for their sins when they do not even know their sins. 

       Unable to repent for their sins, all souls cannot receive from God the infused virtue of Faith. Without perfect Faith, Charity is impossible. That is why the world is filled with hate crimes because there is no true love, the source of which is God the Holy Spirit. 

4. The two breathings of Christ. 

     In the training of the apostles, Christ taught them what were sins, then He taught them how to repent, not according to the repentance of John the Baptist, but the repentance of the New Testament through the acquisition of the virtue of Penance, develop in them perfect Faith and then  breath on them twice; the first time is before Easter, the second time is during Pentecost. 

     On Easter, Christ gave His followers the virtue of Charity that enabled them to love one’s neighbour. On Pentecost, Christ gave them the power to love God. 

      To love one’s neighbour, like husband and wife, parents and children, etc, comes from the Holy Spirit, not from man. Christ said; ‘receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them.’ Any soul who have reached this state of spirituality where he possess perfect Faith and love of neighbour can have all their past sins forgiven and merit heaven. All priests and bishops are supposed to reach this stage of spirituality other wise, as Christ mentioned, they cannot forgive sins because the forgiveness of sins was given, only, to those who receive this breath of Christ. 

       To love one’s neighbour with Charity is a power than comes from the Holy Spirit. It is not given to all. It is not humanly attainable. It is given only to those with perfect Faith. With the present age that is described by Christ and Pope Benedict XVI as having a crisis of Faith, there is no Charity, there is no love. Today’s world have only hatred. 

        The love of neighbour, as an act of the Holy Spirit, is the goal of all Christian soul. The love of God given by the HOLY SPIRIT on Pentecost is given to few. Only to those with important roles in developing, maintaining and defending the true Catholic Church. Today, no one seems to have this. Definitely none of the Charismatics who really do not have the Holy Spirit because they have not gone through the steps one, two and three mentioned in the Liturgy.

        It is ideal that all true followers of Christ should receive the two breathings of Christ that will empower them to love neighbour and love God. But, today, neither of these two loves are present in the institutional Church. They are present in the true Church, which, however, no one knows where they are because no one knows how Faith, Hope and Charity look like. Though thoroughly spiritual concept these three theological virtues have visible signs which are impossible to detect except for those who have some degree of true Faith. 

5. The pandemic.

     The on going pandemic, now in its second year, is God calling the human race to know their sins, repent and make an act of perfect Faith; otherwise, if they get the virus and die, they could go straight to hell. But nobody is getting the message right; not even the bishops and not even the Pope. Those who are supposed to teach the human race how to prepare do not know how to prepare. 

     Well, this has been the punishment God have given mankind whenever man refuses to repent. The Liturgy of the Mass up to today, the Feast of Pentecost where the Liturgy, does not speak of Pentecost but of  Easter, repeats the sign by which we can know that we have perfect Faith and with the great possibility of having love of neighbour in that Christ have given us the first breathing, the Holy Spirit, that empowers us to love our neighbour, not with a human love, but with a love by which Christ have loved us……that we love our neighbour with a Divine Love that enable us to teach our neighbour, our husband, wife, children…..how to repent that leads to perfect Faith.
