Fighting Communism

CommunismArchconfraternity of the Holy FaceHoly Face Devotion

For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.  James 1:23-24

I have been reading a book called The Secret of the Holy Face, The Devotion Destined to Save Society, by Father Lawrence Daniel Carney III. The author points out how this devotion is meant to combat communism. All these years the Lord drew me to this devotion, even using tragedy to bring goodness and a blog named Veil of Veronica. I thought, ”of course”. This is the devotion to usher in the Divine Will and combat what’s being thrust upon the world. The movement of sexual perversion and identifying yourself that way, coupled with climate change, the nebulous blob that seems to ask that all humans just die for the sake of the planet, and we find ourselves on the brink of a new world without God.

 This all too imminent danger, Venerable Brethren, as you have already surmised, is bolshevistic and atheistic Communism, which aims at upsetting the social order and at undermining the very foundations of Christian civilization – DIVINI REDEMPTORIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI
ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM – March 19, 1937

Without God and doing what he asks, we forget what we look like. His Holy Face brings us back to relationship, with Him and with one another.

To be clear, I do not condemn people who struggle with same sex attraction, or even those who don’t know their proper identity, after all, their struggles are real. Therein lies the brilliance of this God ordained devotion. When you look at the Holy Face of Jesus you can see that you are in relationship with a real person. When your loved one stands in front of you struggling, you can see you are in relationship with a real person. You can pray and guide a real person to their true identity. The demonic driven agenda, however, you must oppose on all fronts. Our true identity lies in the fact that we are children of God. Anything else is perversion. You can label yourself whatever you want, but truth is a person and that person is Jesus Christ, and until you know Him you actually know nothing, especially not yourself.

Additionally, I actually do believe our environment is poisoned, but not from the CO2 we breathe out, rather, it is from the sin of our hardened hearts that we breathe out. A pure heart that loves God has a God who can pour his power into weakness and make the environment their dominion. A sinful unrepentant hard heart reaps what it sows, and the environment around them becomes desolate. Again, a mere look at the Face of God and you will see back a true identity and a Kingdom of heaven; a Kingdom of Love where all of creation shouts for joy.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
    let the sea roar and all that fills it;
    let the field exult and everything in it.
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
   before the Lord, for he is coming,
    for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
    and the peoples with his truth. Psalm 96:11-13

It is time to look at His Holy Face. It is time to see that He is the one who calms and keeps the storm. Promulgate this devotion. Jesus Himself left us His face during the Passion with the Veil of Veronica, in His death on the Shroud of Turin, and in His resurrection on the Veil of Manopello.

By looking at His Face we can see his Sacred Heart, we can see the love in His heart for us. We can ask Him to help us love others as He loves us. It is this relational knowing of God that can crush communism. Place His Face where all can see.

 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

  2. Finnian-JohnI was struck by the ”brevity” of this treatise, as it holds such power in Truth. Truth has no need for some sort of wordy explanation. Pilate was blind to the Truth when he opined: ”what is Truth?”…as he was really looking for some ”wordy” explanation. He (like many) think truth to be a mere ”thing” to find. No, Truth is NOT a mere thing as you said…but a Person…Jesus!Many years ago when I ”tried” marijuana, I remember feeling ”evil” all over almost immediately. I began to panic and ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. What I saw in the mirror only escalated my panic into very great anxiety. I saw ”evil” (itself) looking back at me (in the mirror) from my own eyes!I was terrified, honestly. Why so? Because (though) I liked the feeling of being high, at the same time I was hating the evil that I physically perceived through the mirror in my very being…(ergo addiction).I did not know what to do. I was extremely scared. I felt that I had died. Then I remembered the ”power” of the crucifix that I’d known as a young child when I went through a (life threatening) major surgery in the hospital…and how the crucifix hanging on the wall of my room brought me such immense comfort over my fears at that time.With that memory, I searched for and found my small crucifix and gazed at it with great sorrow for what I had done. Immediately that ”feeling” of evil left me. It was like I even ”felt” it leave. I then went back to the bathroom and looked in the mirror again. Yes, it was in fact gone! I saw no evil looking back at me!I would ”like” to report that I lived happily ever after beyond this incident but that is not the truth. I went on to struggle for quite some time with that ”liking” of evil as I described. A spiritual director once told me that ”evil tastes good” and that’s why we do it. He went on to say that we must lose our ”taste” for evil in our spiritual journey. How true! It takes time (God’s time; not ours)…and His grace!I take no pride in what I had done. I have experienced great shame in some of the choices that I have made in my life. However I share this experience as my way of verifying the absolute Truth of what you have said about the Holy Face…and its power to ”restore” sanity.I love the reading the Old Testament story of the bronze snake that was mounted on a pole to save the people: Numbers 21: 8-9. It ALWAYS reminds me of how Jesus rescued me by way of that crucifix many years ago. I could expound on the depth of meaning within that scripture quite a lot. It is ”rich” with so many ”human” conditions!The whole point is that there must be many like me who are in desperate need to be ”released” from the captivity of evil choices…but do not know the way.Your treatise provides the ”key” to that door. What I hope to add to your well written presentation is a very real personal ”witness” to the effectiveness of (using) that key!God bless!SvaraGilla
    1. veilofveronicaFinnian-JohnThank you for sharing. These writings usually start forming in my head while I am doing some ordinary task. Yesterday I was mowing the lawn when it all came over me. I too was struck by how short it was, but I knew it was enough. Gods Holy Face speaks quickly when someone is in need.Gilla

  4. MarkMarkMany may not know the meaning behind the name ”Veronica”. Many know the story of a woman named Veronica wiping the face of Jesus and getting the image of Jesus’ face on the cloth. This name is closely related with this event. The name is composed of 2 root words, the Ver has the same root word as verify, and that is ”Vera” it means ”true”. The second part comes from the word ”Icon” meaning image. The name Veronica (Vera Icon) literally means ”True Image”. In a very real sense we are all called to be a True Image of Jesus. This blog is well named!Svara1
    1. veilofveronicaMarkThank you for the comment. I remember when my friend Veronica died all those years ago, focusing on how the name meant True Image and how what Saint Veronica did for Christ was beautiful and courageous considering what was happening.

Under vissa omständigheter som utlöser dem, stänker dessa minnen, dessa känslor, dagligen och överväldigar oss som plötsliga starka känslor som vi inte kan innehålla och tvinga oss att bete oss irrationellt. Ibland kan de också orsaka oss vissa fysiska tecken och till och med sjukdomar. I sådana fall talar vi om psykosomatiska sjukdomar. Sömnlöshet, huvudvärk, buksmärtor och andra delar av kroppen, allergier, andningsproblem och olika inflammationer, och till och med cancer, kan vara konsekvenserna av vissa psykologiska traumor från barndomen. Medicin, psykologi och psykiatri hjälper redan till stor del till att förstå dessa problem och är mycket bra på att diagnostisera. Men ibland mer ibland kan de lindra och behandla dessa svårigheter. I andliga övningar för inre helande accepterar vi vården och motsätter oss dem inte. Men vi försöker uppgradera dem och komplettera dem med andliga medel. Vi ber Jesus att med sin kärlek hela våra sårade hjärtan, våra inre sår, smärtsamma minnen från vårt förflutna. Hans helande kärlek kan först upplevas i en grundlig bekännelse och i en djupgående gemenskap av eukaristin. När vi förlåter andra befriar vi oss själva först och helar oss själva. Genom tal, i bönatmosfären, i tillbedjan inför den Allraheligaste, i begrundan i tystnad över Guds ord, genom att skriva en personlig berättelse, försöker vi upptäcka rötterna till våra emotionella, fysiska och sociala problem. Dessa rötter förs sedan till Jesus i olika personliga och gemensamma böner, i en ödmjuk begäran om att röra vid och läka dem. Vi ber honom också att hjälpa oss att förbättra vårt sätt att tänka och leva och att behålla vårt helande. Han leder p. Mia Kekić DJ. Tack för att du registrerade dig. Ansökan skickades in!

Titus Brandsma: časnikar, mučenec, svetnik 20. stoletja Mojca Masterl Štefanič Za vas piše: Mojca Masterl Štefanič Sv. Titus Brandsma: časnikar, mučenec, svetnik 20. stoletja Sv. Titus Brandsma. FOTO: Wikimedia Papež Frančišek je med včerajšnjim slovesnim bogoslužjem na Trgu sv. Petra v Vatikanu razglasil deset novih svetnikov. Med njimi je tudi Titus Brandsma, nizozemski duhovnik iz reda karmeličanov, pa tudi časnikar, mistik in mučenec, primeren zavetnik spletnih časnikarjev in blogerjev. 7 stvari, ki jih je dobro vedeti o novem svetniku: 1. Čudež na njegovo priprošnjo vključuje sobrata karmeličana. Ko je p. Michael Driscoll, karmeličan iz ameriške zvezne države Florida, leta 2004 prejel diagnozo melanoma 4. stopnje, je vedel, na koga se bo obrnil: začel je moliti za priprošnjo bl. Titusa Brandsme, mučenca iz nacističnega koncentracijskega taborišča Dachau. Duhovniški kolega je p. Michaelu podaril relikvijo drugega reda, košček črne tkanine iz Brandsminega talarja, ki si jo je p. Michael vsak dan pritisnil na čelo, ko je molil za ozdravljenje. Prestal je že številne operacije, da bi mu z obraza odstranili manjša rakava znamenja, tokrat pa je bil rak že zelo razširjen. Kirurgi so mu odstranili velik melanom z glave in vratu, pa tudi 84 bezgavk in slinavko. Po mnenju zdravnikov je imel zelo malo možnosti za okrevanje. In vendar je okreval. Preiskovalna komisija v škofiji Palm Beach je več kot leto dni analizirala njegovo ozdravljenje, pogovarjala se je z zdravniki p. Michaela in drugimi medicinskimi izvedenci ter 12 patrovimi župljani in dvema duhovnikoma. 25. maja 2021 je senat odločil, da je duhovnikovo ozdravljenje res čudežno, in svoje poročilo so poslali v končno preiskavo vatikanski Kongregaciji za zadeve svetnikov. 9. novembra je ta kongregacija potrdila kanonizacijo in svojo odločitev posredovala papežu Frančišku. Dva tedna pozneje, 25. novembra, je papež pooblastil kardinala Marcella Semerara, prefekta omenjene kongregacije, naj izda odlok, s katerim je bil čudež potrjen – to je bil še zadnji korak na poti k kanonizaciji. 2. Kot časnikar je bil Titus Brandsma neustrašen. Titus Brandsma je spregovoril vsakokrat, ko se je zdelo, da se vsi drugi tiho obračajo stran. Pripravljen se je bil sam zoperstaviti vladi, ki se je upirala volji ljudi. Ko je v 30. in 40. letih prejšnjega stoletja živel in delal na Nizozemskem, družbena omrežja še niso bila razvita. Kar je papež Janez Pavel II. imenoval »digitalna celina« – ta nov način komuniciranja prek meja –, je bila tedaj stvar domišljije. Kljub temu je Titus Brandsma, duhovnik karmeličanskega reda in časnikar, uspel na široko komunicirati z nizozemskimi verniki. Delal je kot urednik svojega krajevnega časnika in kot cerkveni svetovalec katoliških časnikarjev pri približno 30 nizozemskih časnikih. Kip novega svetnika. FOTO: Vatican Media 3. Poleg časnikarskega dela je bil tudi akademik. P. Brandsma je predaval na več univerzah po Nizozemski, v nizozemščino je iz španščine prevedel delo sv. Terezije Avilske. Bil je eden od ustanoviteljev Katoliške univerze v Nijmegnu (danes univerza Radboud), kjer je predaval filozofijo in zgodovino misticizma, pozneje pa je bil njen rektor. Bil je priljubljen zaradi svojega velikodušnega duha in znan po svoji nenehni dostopnosti vsem, ki so iskali njegov nasvet. 4. P. Brandsma je avtor množično razširjenega pastoralnega pisma nizozemskih katoliških škofov, v katerem so obsodili antisemitizem, brali pa so ga v župnijah po vsej državi. V Nemčiji so se skupaj z deportacijo prvih Judov iz Nizozemske pojavljala nizkotna čustva. Nizozemski škofje so v pismu predstavili ostro nasprotje med katolištvom in nacizmom ter pokazali, da sta obe ideologiji povsem nezdružljivi. V Hitlerjevi Nemčiji odziv nacistov na pastoralno pismo ni bil takšen, kot so upali nizozemski škofje: več kot 3.000 judovskih spreobrnjencev v katoliško vero je bilo deportiranih iz Nizozemske. 5. P. Brandsma je pisal in govoril proti nacističnim protijudovskim zakonom o zakonski zvezi in propagandi. Leta 1942 so p. Brandsmo aretirali, potem ko je poskušal prepričati nizozemske katoliške časnike, naj ne tiskajo nacistične propagande (kar je zahteval nacistični okupator). Nemci so mu ponudili možnost, naj temu ne nasprotuje in bi lahko mirno živel v svojem samostanu, vendar je njihov predlog odločno zavrnil. FOTO: Vatican Media 6. P. Brandsma je umrl kot mučenec. P. Titus Brandsma je bil februarja 1942 premeščen v koncentracijsko taborišče Dachau. Julija istega leta je bil usmrčen s smrtonosno injekcijo. Medicinski sestri, ki mu je dala injekcijo, je odpustil in ji podaril rožni venec. Čeprav takrat ni bila verna, je pozneje postala katoličanka. 7. Njegov god obhajamo v mesecu juliju. Titusa Brandsmo je papež Janez Pavel II. za blaženega razglasil leta 1985, v karmeličanskem redu pa njegov god obhajajo 27. julija. Ob njegovi beatifikaciji je poljski papež dejal, da je »na sovraštvo odgovoril z ljubeznijo«. ”Maria, titta på oss!”” Det står till dig: ”Maria, titta på oss!”” ”Det blommar redan för dig, det luktar för dig, en bukett små blommor, Mary!” Vi har gått in i maj månad, som är tillägnad vår himmelska Moder Maria. Den här månaden läser vi marhas, sjunger Marjis dikter och vänder oss till Maria med särskild uppmärksamhet. Den första marman var nattvarden 1851 ”Marias säregenhet i maj månad är tillbaka till 1500-talet, och regelbunden fromhet utvecklades först på 1700-talet. Den första spaten var nattvarden i Ljubljana 1851 vid seminariets seminarium. Hängivenheten spred sig snart till andra institutioner och församlingar, bland annat utanför Ljubljana, och tog snabbt en stark vändning för folket. Andakten, som de började namnge efter majonnäsblommorna, partytältet, utfördes snart utanför kyrkan – i byn, i kapellen och i skyltarna”, skrev Niko Kurent i boken Slovenernas festliga år. Šmarnice är fortfarande en av de mest populära folkfromheterna i Slovenien. FOTO: Tatjana Splichal Under de kommande dagarna kan vi också vända oss till Maria genom att be nästa bön, skriven av den pensionerade påven Benedictus XVI. Bönen publicerades ursprungligen i Youcat Prayer Book för ungdomar. Maria, du sa ditt ja, du lyssnade på Jesus, och du känner ljudet av hans röst och hjärtat av hans hjärta. Du, stjärnan danica, berätta om honom och berätta för oss hur du följde honom på trons väg. Maria, som bodde med Jesus i Nasaret, präglar sina känslor i våra liv: hans öppenhet, hans tystnad, att lyssna till Guds ord och göra det till ett verkligt fritt val. Maria, berätta om Jesus, att hon från våra ögon kommer att återspegla friskheten i vår tro och kommer att förtöja hjärtan hos alla som möter oss – som du gjorde med ditt besök hos Elizabeth, som vid en hög ålder gladde sig med dig gåvan av ett nytt liv. Maria, jungfru magnificata, hjälp oss att föra glädje till världen, och som i Kana, uppmuntra alla unga människor som ger sig till sina bröders bästa att bara göra vad Jesus säger åt dem att göra. Maria, se på de unga människorna för att bli kyrkans bördiga jord. Han ber att Jesus, som dog och uppstod, ska återfödas i oss och förvandla oss till en natt full av ljus som är dränkt av honom. Maria, Guds Moder, din himmelska port, hjälp oss att rikta blicken uppåt. Vi vill se på Jesus. Vi vill prata med honom. Vi vill förkunna hans kärlek till alla.

Saint Verena Bütler (1848-1924) a Swiss Roman Catholic professed religious and the foundress of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Mary, Help of Christians, – from a bio: Mary Bernard (Verena Bütler) was born in Auw, in the Canton of Argovia, in Switzerland, on the 28th of May 1848 and was baptised on the same day. She was the fourth child of Henry and Catherine Bütler, modest but exemplary country people, who educated the eight children born of their marriage in the love of God and of neighbour. Gifted with excellent health, Verena grew up happy, intelligent, generous and a lover of nature. She began to attend school at seven years of age. The fervour and commitment with which she made her First Communion, on the 16th of April 1860, remained constant in her for the rest of her life. Devotion to the Eucharist would, in fact, form the foundation of her spirituality. Having completed her elementary studies at the age of 14, Verena dedicated herself to farm work and experienced affection for a worthy young man with whom she fell in love. On feeling the call of God, she broke off the engagement in order to turn completely to the Lord. During this period in her life she was granted the grace of enjoying the presence of God, feeling Him very close. She herself said: ”To explain this state of soul to someone who has never experienced anything similar is extremely difficult, if not impossible”.

They do not inhabit separate cities of their own, or speak a strange dialect, or follow some outlandish way of life. Their teaching is not based upon reveries inspired by the curiosity of men. Unlike some other people, they champion no purely human doctrine. With regard to dress, food and manner of life in general, they follow the customs of whatever city they happen to be living in, whether it is Greek or foreign… Christians love all men, but all men persecute them. Condemned because they are not understood, they are put to death, but raised to life again. They live in poverty, but enrich many; they are totally destitute, but possess an abundance of everything. They suffer dishonor, but that is their glory. They are defamed, but vindicated. A blessing is their answer to abuse, deference their response to insult. For the good they do they receive the punishment of malefactors, but even then they rejoice, as though receiving the gift of life. They are attacked by the Jews as aliens, they are persecuted by the Greeks, yet no one can explain the reason for this hatred… Christians love those who hate them just as the soul loves the body and all its members despite the body’s hatred. It is by the soul, enclosed within the body, that the body is held together, and similarly, it is by the Christians, detained in the world as in a prison, that the world is held together. The soul, though immortal, has a mortal dwelling place; and Christians also live for a time amidst perishable things, while awaiting the freedom from change and decay that will be theirs in heaven. As the soul benefits from the deprivation of food and drink, so Christians flourish under persecution. Such is the Christian’s lofty and divinely appointed function, from which he is not permitted to excuse himself. Amen Lijepo je što postojiš 4 m · Kada je metak pogodio moje srce, nisam umro.

Sve je u Duhu.” (Od Uskrsa do Duhova) Foto: Laudato – koncert Progledaj srcem https://l.facebook.com/l.php… services/liturgy/saints/2008/ns_lit_doc_20081012_verena_en.html?fbclid=IwAR259_9kOGfc00SBV-BFsfZAv7ShqD2c7YvW5vgAUwf8ekF68sXHQpGAVcU https://www.medjugorje-info.com/…/primite-blagoslov-oca…
