6. To the Catholic Church I

Easter, 2016 (after receiving Holy Communion)

"To all members of the Catholic Church from the supreme pontiff to the lowliest layperson regardless of their position in the Body of Christ and to the world at large -- Thus says the Lord, the Most High, the slain unblemished Lamb of God who lives and eternally reigns Supreme:

I will speak a parable as I did when I walked upon the earth.  Let those with ears hear!

THE MASTER and owner of a large estate was absent for quite some time, even though he was to be wedded upon his return.  In spite of his delay, his bride nevertheless waited patiently and hopefully.  She occupied herself by doing everything she could to prepare for the wedding and the feast to follow the marriage ceremony.  She sought to make everything exquisite and perfect as befitted her groom.  Time and again she went over the guest list, each time adding numerous persons so that the number of guests constantly grew.  In anticipation of the groom's imminent arrival, she engaged in all her preparations attired in her beautiful wedding gown.

Now there were rebels, outcasts from the estate, who, from the very beginning, had sought to ruin the wedding by making the bride unworthy of the groom.  They tried every tactic to defile the bride but without success.  The rebel leader secretly sent messengers to those who were least loyal to the groom and his bride.  But they were always discovered and expelled from the ranks of the servants.  The rebels also stirred up dissension among some of the servants and these were either expelled or left of their own accord.  Yet, although the groom's estate was overrun with dissidents, the manor house remained secure and the bride safe due to the diligence, integrity and honesty of the servants who were steadfast in their loyalty to the groom and bride.

Since their efforts were not accomplishing their goal, the rebels devised a two-pronged attack on the manor house.  On one hand they planted thorn bushes and poisonous plants all around the house while simultaneously having some of their most loyal disciples infiltrate the ranks of the servants by acting properly and hiding their true sentiments.  These infiltrators made subtle suggestions for small changes to the manor house that seemed both innocent and innocuous.  But they gave the false impression of being completely loyal and devoted to the groom and his bride.  Consequently they moved up the ranks of the servants until they reached stations of authority.  Once these positions had been acquired the early infiltrators saw to the admission of droves of their fellow travelers into the ranks of the servants in various capacities.  These too moved up in the ranks until the rebels equaled or surpassed in both number and authority the loyal servants of the groom and bride.

Finally, the number of the chief rebel's disciples who had risen to the highest levels was such that they were in charge of the groom and bride's servants.  They even named several of their comrades in succession as their leader.  Although all these false servants knew what was planned, their initial leader got everyone together to finalize the strategy.  As soon as the meeting ended they gleefully put their plan into action.  They roughly shoved aside, intimidated, persecuted and silenced most of the loyal servants and then proceeded to gang rape the bride and tossed her nearly lifeless body into a manure pit.'

So, when he arrives, what will the groom do to the false servants who molested his bride and putrefied her gown?  And what will happen to those ostensibly loyal servants who failed to fight to the death to defend the groom's honor and to protect his bride?

It is the Lord who speaks!

I am that groom.  And, if you don't realize it, My estate is the universe, My manor house is the Catholic Faith, My bride is the Catholic Church, her gown is her holiness embroidered with all her Magisterial doctrines and teachings with her liturgies, prayers and practices and her jewels are the sacraments.  All these I bought for her at the dearest price because I love her as I love Myself.  I am on my way and not far off.  I am the Good and Chief Shepherd.  Beware hirelings lest I arrive at a moment when you least expect!  Be advised, I will not be anywhere near as lenient as I was to the moneychangers in the temple of Jerusalem.  Know that I have reserved a special place in hell for those shepherds of souls who lead My flock astray.  The day of the outpouring of My just wrath is rapidly approaching.  Throughout time I have promised there would be a loyal and steadfast remnant of faithful.  Only they will be spared the most severe of beatings.  You in positions of authority within My Church have abandoned the things of heaven and the salvation of souls for the things of the world and public acclaim.  You have made a mockery of the Mass; have committed sacrilege with My Body and Blood; have diluted, distorted, denied or ignored doctrine, have misled the faithful with half truths and vague and incomplete references and more, much more.  In doing so you have placed yourselves and those in your care on a very slippery slope leading to the Abyss.  I repeat the question I asked in Galilee, 'What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?'  Repent!  Do penance!  Seek My forgiveness and beg for My Mercy.  Restore My Church in every way to true and authentic Catholicism.  Perhaps I will relent and not destroy you.  But remember, My Justice will be satisfied!  My Mercy trumps My Justice only where true repentance; contrition, penance, humility and reparation are embraced!

I, the Lord, have spoken.

So ends this message.
