A FORTRESS STRIPPED AND DISGARRISONED

Atheistic Communism and the transformation of society, by means of the current industrial process, and consumer civilization, were excellent weapons in the hands of the Enemy of man, to make all of humanity materialistic and atheistic; they were excellent means to alienate man from God.

The Enemy, who from the creation of man neglected nothing to snatch him away from God and direct him upon the way of perdition, has waged a war, with his intelligence, so superior to that of humans, and he directs it with tenacity and perfidy.

It is just to say that there have been attempts to react, but it is incredible that when the perverse action of the Enemy was increasing, the counteroffensive in my Church was getting weaker. Indeed there was in the Church an external reaction sufficiently active (Catholic movements among workers, students, professionals, etc.) but internally, on the contrary, the interior action of resistance and counterattack was growing cold.

I call you to attention once more: and it is not only a coincidence. Leo XIII who foresaw this great danger, composed an exorcism that could be performed by everyone, by priests and by the simple faithful, in order to detain the enemy advance. Very few were those who profited by it. The majority did not understand.

The Enemy, like a skillful strategist, assaulted the Church, not only from outside (rationalism, French Revolution, Masonry, Socialism, Marxism, etc.) but he also worked skillfully in its interior.

Inward collapse

Recent Popes - remember, for example Pius IX, Leo XIII, Pius X and Pius XII - were great fighters against the diverse offensive movements, that the Enemy advanced, like columns, in several directions. They aimed at the Church, in order to denigrate it and destroy it. Satan sought to destroy it, and he realized the most deceitful action right inside the Church (Modernism, horizontalism, permissiveness, liberation, etc.) and while the external siege became stronger and more direct, on the inside he was seeking to cast down the firm structures of resistance.

Thus the confraternities fell, the pious unions and associations fell, that were born and grew, in order to nourish the life of faith and the life of grace. The pastors did not notice the lack of equilibrium that was being verified in the Church; they did nothing, with a few exceptions, to remedy this with means more adequate for the times. My Church remained like a fortress stripped and unarmed. The cry of alarm, proferred by the Popes, did not always find a prompt and diligent correspondence, that would have diminished and even detained the action of the Enemy.

Run to make repairs

You would not have arrived at this present state; today there would not be Christians who do not even know that they are enrolled in a great army, whose task is to defeat the fearful enemy of your souls, who neglects nothing, provided that he can lead you to the path of eternal perdition.

All of you, your children, your families, now discover that you have been made prisoners, without even having noticed it; without realizing it, you have found yourselves transformed into enemies of your own selves and of the Highest Good, from which, through which and for which you were created. This is the great drama of the Church!

In order to liberate my Church and my children from the tyranny of the enemy, always growing more impudent, it is necessary to awake and to run to make the repairs in what is evil, without any doubt. To relieve and lighten so many sufferings caused by the dominion of Satan over souls, it is necessary to get organized without losing time, to work with humility and with a tenacious faith.

I, Jesus, will give the indications that you should follow!

Meanwhile, to find yourselves once more, (misled and lost in the midst of the anarchy now ruling), use the means that the Virgin, my Mother and yours, gave you in Fatima, in Lourdes and in so many other places: Prayer and Penance! More prayer and conscious penance are needed.

Organize yourselves for this very precise purpose, so that my Merciful Heart and the Immaculate Heart of my Mother and yours, can hasten the final triumph of this immense fight, of this gigantic battle in which Life and Death, Light and Darkness, Truth and Error, are face to face, in a decisive battle.

I bless you, my son.
