IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do
Oh I know you'd give your nicest room
to such an honored Guest
And all the food you'd serve him, would be the
Very best
And you would keep assuring Him, you're glad
to have Him there
That serving Him in your own home, is joy beyond
compare
But- when you saw him coming, would you
meet him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome to
your Heav'nly visitor?
Or would you have to change you clothes before
you let Him in,
Or hide some magazines and put the
Bible where they'd been?
Would you turn off the radio, and hope
He hadn't heard
And wish you hadn't uttered, that last loud hasty
word?
Would you hide your worldly music and put
some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you
rush about?
And I wonder- if the Savior spent a
day or two with you
Would you go right on doing the things you
always do?
Would you keep right on saying the things
you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does
from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep its
usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal
to say a table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing
and read the book you read,
And let him know the things on which
your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere
you'd planned to go,
Or would you maybe change your plans
for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet
your very closest friends,
Or would you hope they'd stay away
until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay
forever on and on,
Or would you sigh with great relief when
He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the
things that you would do
If Jesus Christ in person came to spend
Some time with you

Fr Nicholas Gruner
Now, as I have said, there are Cardinals and other Churchmen in the Vatican and their supporters throughout the world who have a vested interest in seeing that the Consecration of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart to Russia, and not the world, is never done, whatever their individual motives. Socci sees clearly now, without any doubt that the Consecration has not been done as specifically requested by Our Lady. As has Father Nicholas Gruner who is a thorn, the thorn, in their side, so he must be excised by whatever means and relentlessly so. Thus we have the cleverly devised straw man of Father Gruner, who willingly sacrifices himself to be Our Lady's champion as many a Saint and Martyr have and will continue to do until the end of time. His only "crime", that of upholding the rights of God as expressed through Our Lady of Fatima, the Mother of God. The penalty for the crime? An impossible web of intrigue by which he is placed in a special form of double jeopardy, whichever way he answers to these unfaithful prelates, he "is damned". Either find another bishop or else. But the route to finding another bishop to incardinate him has been sealed so that it is impossible at present. Heads, the unfaithful prelates win, tails, Father Gruner loses. Only Satan, the Father of Lies and the infernal enemy of Our Lady is ultimately capable of directing anything this diabolical.
And so, this little housewife in a backwater section of a small rural town in Maine writes an article here and there coming to the defense of Father Nicholas, that is, in reality, in defense of the Mother of God, and therefore the web site she has devoted her end life to is "suspect". Does this discourage me? Dissuade me from my course? Anything but!
I take my cues from Father Gruner, a wholly holy priest, a latter day St. John the Baptist, considered an object of curiosity, an oddity, to those who are of this world, one who must be dealt with because the truth is too hard to bear for those with guilt in this matter; an "angel" of sorts, like St. Michael the Archangel, who leads Our Lady's legions against the powers of Hell, the Consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, an invincible weapon against the gates of Hell; Our Lady is Satan's implacable foe according to Genesis and the Apocaplyse, the beginning and the end of the battle, so to speak; Father Gruner can be likened unto St. Joseph, Our Lady's guardian companion, humbly searching for a "room in the inn"; and he can be said to be like St. Paul, not counting the cost, being all things for the salvation of others, "running the course" unto the finish. Being all things for Father Gruner means taking on all manner of aspersions, calumny, and mockery, not caring about himself, so that Our Lady is served as she ought to be. He champions her, I champion him. Rather than be disheartened by scorn or simple misunderstanding in these tumultuous times, I am so very greatly honored, beyond words to tell and beyond my merit.

And another attack aimed at the Catholic Church
Reading Angels and Demons, I wasn’t so much struck by the work’s bigotry as by how badly it was written. The cliched style is the literary equivalent of cotton candy. And for someone with so much animus toward religion, Brown employs the deus ex machina more frequently than the Old Testament.
But more disturbing is Brown’s commingling of fact and fiction disguised as fact, aimed at convincing his readership that the Catholic Church is vehemently, even violently anti-science, and therefore anti-progress and anti-reason.
By fiction disguised as fact, I don’t mean standard historical fiction techniques like creating new characters against a backdrop of actual historical events. I mean massively altering or fabricating historical events and chronologies. For instance: virtually every historical fiction writer fudges dates a little, but Brown shifts key timelines by more than a century.
Perhaps Brown counts on most of us to be too lazy or obtuse to fact-check his work on the Internet. And judging from his hordes of unquestioning fans (and, usually, myself), he’s probably right.
So, I got off my duff (a matter of speech — I actually sat on my duff throughout this ordeal) and actually (gasp) looked up some of the claims Brown makes in Angels and Demons.
Here are just a few inaccuracies (hardly an exhaustive list) I picked up in several exhausting minutes on the Web:
Brown claims: Copernicus was murdered by the Catholic Church.
Fact: Copernicus died quietly in bed at age 70 from a stroke, and his research was supported by Church officials; he even dedicated his masterwork to the Pope.
Brown claims: “Antimatter is the ultimate energy source. It releases energy with 100% efficiency.”
Fact: CERN, the lab which plays an important role in his story, actually debunked this claim on their website: “The inefficiency of antimatter production is enormous: you get only a tenth of a billion of the invested energy back.”
Brown claims: Churchill was a “staunch Catholic.”
Fact: Any history buff could tell you that Churchill wasn’t Catholic, he was Anglican; nor was he particularly religious. The only things Churchill was staunch about were cigars, whiskey, and defending the British Empire.
Brown claims: Pope Urban VII banished Bernini’s famous statue The Ecstasy of St. Teresa “to some obscure chapel across town” because it was too racy for the Vatican.
Fact: The statue was actually commissioned by Cardinal Cornaro specifically for the Cornaro Chapel (Brown’s “obscure chapel”). Moreover, the sculpture was completed in 1652 — eight years after Urban’s death.
Brown claims: Bernini and famed scientist Galileo were members of the Illuminati.
Fact: The Illuminati was founded in Bavaria in 1776. Bernini died in 1680, while Galileo died in 1642 — more than a century before the Illuminati were first formed.
This last falsehood bears further examination, because the Illuminati are so integral to the plot of Angels and Demons. The great Baroque artist Bernini is also a central figure in Brown’s tale.
It may seem like a small “white lie” to change the timeline so drastically, and to make Bernini a key player in an Illuminati plot against the Catholic Church. But Bernini was an extraordinary Baroque artist who deserves better than Brown’s treatment.
Imagine that someone made a film that portrayed Steven Spielberg as a closet anti-Semite and Holocaust denier. Movie fans would be justifiably outraged.
But Dan Brown wrote a book (soon to be a movie!) identifying another great artistic virtuoso, Bernini, as a secret atheist who hated the Catholic Church. In reality, though, Bernini was a devout Catholic who went to mass every day and pursued the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, which include up to five hours of daily silent meditation.
In one of the movie trailers (since taken down — I wonder why?), Tom Hanks chastises Vatican officials — “You guys don’t even read your own history!” — for not knowing about “La Purga,” the branding and execution of four Illuminati scientists in 1668.
The irony’s so rich, it could pay off the national debt. Because, you see, it’s Hanks’ character who doesn’t know his history. Repeat after me: there were no Illluminati before 1776

IT IS TIME TO PROGRESS BACK TO LATIN
It is interesting as I read through all of the comments regarding the N.O. Mass and the E.F. Mass. There were some that talked about other impacts during that time, like material satisfaction, general lack of formation, etc....
His point is that these conditions that we see now, loss of faith, lack of formation, worldliness are all fruits that were born from the radicalization of the Mass. The Sacred Liturgy is the linchpin of the Catholic Faith. Do not forget that at Mass we travel back in time to that moment on Calvary when Our Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. How can you focus your mind and travel back when you have tons of people glad handing each other, holding hands, and walking up into the sanctuary to help distribute communion.
The N.O. Mass was turned into a self worship Mass by radicals. When done properly it can be a very beautiful Mass, but lets face it, nothing will ever quiet the mind as well as the E.F. The mind must be quiet so that the soul can receive its weekly (wishing it could be daily) repair and grace. Otherwise your are just going to a weekly gathering of your favorite Sunday club. It is highly unlikely that anyone is spending much time thanking God for another week to try to perfect their soul when the focus is so horizontal.
By bending to the world we have let our culture lose the respect and sanctity of Sunday, the workplace and public schools respecting Holy Days. Not to mention the very direct and purposeful development of vocations to the Priesthood.
One other mention I will make here is that there is literally no argument for Mass in the vernacular. Latin is universal, it is easily understood and is the base language from which many languages were derived. If I am travelling in another country and they are saying Mass in their local language I am out of touch. If they are using Latin, I am in touch. Also having to focus on what is going on and following the Mass in your missal you begin to get a much deeper understanding and appreciation for what is occurring before you. Not to mention that the wording used at Mass when verbalized in the vernacular loses some of its impact through familiarity. It happens when we become too "familiar". The Latin makes a person work harder at prayer and when assisting at Mass. The N.O. and use of vernacular allows a soul to become slouchy and dare I say slothful.
Anyway, the slow and steady move back to the Extraordinary Form is exactly what the Catholic Church needs, if you are not being provided this opportunity you should immediately petition your Pastor or Priest, as our Pope has decreed it is not necessary for us to receive permission from the Bishop to have the Latin mass said each week.

Save the unborn from the UN
UN Agency wants to keep pro-lifers out of UN Abortion conference…
…help us fight back…
The lobbyist from the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) stalks the UN conference room like a hunter. She circles around and around looking her prey. Her prey is any UN delegate who dares to protect the unborn child from abortion.
This hunter strikes hard and fast whenever a UN delegate dares to stand up to UNFPA and its pro-abortion allies.
My staff has watched her work.
A year ago, a delegate from a very small country dared to take her countries name off of a UN resolution because she feared it would be used to promote abortion. The UNFPA lobbyist pounced:
“If you take your country’s name off this resolution I will make sure your country loses financial support.”
Remember, that most small countries at the UN are desperately poor and need money from almost any source they can get. This is the hammer held over their heads by unscrupulous lobbyists like the lobbyist from UNFPA.
We are there. We know. We watch and then we tell the world.
That is why UNFPA has attacked C-FAM and the Friday Fax on the front page of their website.
That is why UNFPA personnel have said the work of C-FAM and the Friday Fax is CRIMINAL.
Get that, protecting the unborn child is criminal.
That is why when UNFPA just announced an important UN conference in Berlin this summer, they made it clear that the C-FAM and the Friday Fax along with any other pro-life group is not welcome and won’t be allowed in.
The meeting is something called the Global NGO Forum. It takes place on September 2-4 in Berlin, Germany. It will be a preparatory committee meeting for the upcoming 15th anniversary of the Cairo Conference on Population and Development.
This was the conference way back in 1994 where John Paul the Great and pro-lifers from around the world gathered to stop the pro-abortionists from getting a global right to abortion. We banded together and we stopped them. We stopped them at Cairo+5 and we stopped them at Cairo+10.
Now with their powerful pro-abortion ally in the White House, Barack Obama they are back and will stop at nothing to advance a right to tear an unborn child limb from limb.
The reason they hate the Friday Fax so much is that we are always in the room watching them. And then we tell the world about their vicious antics. And the thing they hate the most? We are not afraid of them.
Friends, if you go to the C-FAM website and do a site search on UNFPA you will find dozens and dozens of Friday Faxes about them. You will find research papers. C-FAM and the Friday Fax are among the world experts on the UN Population Fund.
That is why they want to keep us out

Liberal Democrates = Communists
Nancy Pelosi has stated that she wants to "redistribute the wealth" of
America, by taxing the money earned in the 401k and retirement accounts. If
you take one look that the empty eyes(the windows of the soul) of Mrs Pelosi,
you will know what an empty brain she has.
To start with Mrs Pelosi, that money that is put into the retirment accounts,
and later forced to be taken out by the federal government to be taxed as
income at 70-1/2 will then be taxed on a double scale. The money saved in the
retirement accounts is taxed upon being taken out, she wants to tax the growth
of the money in the retirement account on any interest it earns while in the
retirement account. Once that money growth is taxed on the interest or any
other growth, IT CAN NOT, AND SHOULD NOT BE TAXED AGAIN WHEN WITHDRAWN.
she and her socialists in congress have been there all through President Bush,
and were still making the laws through the Senate and the House of
representatives. This congress has had the worse record of any other congress
since the start of our government, at the point that the "Polls"(who never
tell the truth) stated that President Bush had the lowest ratings he had ever
had, THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES HAD AN EVEN LOWER RATING. For our
voters (I believe that this was election was hijacked by Acorn ..et al.)
to keep the same terrible congress in place while electing a neo Muslim,
Socialist, America hater,
has removed any check and balance that our founders had put into place to
ensure that the country would always have a body to balance any of the parties
in power. This is not the case now,and is a legal form of Dictatorship,
without being called that. By forcing the American people to be taxed
unmercifully, is what had happened to the great Roman empire as they had
complained that
"we are taxed even on the air we breath". This super taxing will not only
destroy the American capabilities of recovering, but will threaten the whole
world, which is what brought down the world in the Great Depression.
In addition to the American people not having the resources to rebound, nor
having the spending abilities to keep our economy solvent, in addition the
U.N. had always been supported by the American people. Obama, and Pelosi and
their Socialistic agenda will tax the American people to death, inorder to
spend YOUR MONEY as they feel they would like to spend it. Sound like
DICTATORSHIP? It does to me, as the Americans will be giving their hard earned
wages, and retirements to people to enjoy themselves. They talk about the
rich, but look at how those people live, and spend your money. Billions on
"Global Warming", which a majority of scientists disagree is happening, and
which was the brainstorm of a disgrunted failure, Al Gore, who saw a way to
gain some spotlight in the world, without having to be chosen for it. And true
to form, proving what a large amount of idiots are in the world,they jumped
into the "Sky is falling, the Sky is falling" scenario, and
all of those looking to make money, to blame those that have money through
years and years of hard work, to have someone to blame for their failures, and
to bring them down to their levels. Which of us would not want to stay home
and not have to go out to work, and still have a nice house, car, money to
spend?
They tried this approach with the welfare system, and all it did was to create
drug users,
malcontents, feeling of be useless in the society,and to get involved in
criminal behavior.
The United States was at its best when people worked hard at whatever job they
had, felt a pride in whatever job they did, and were proud of the products
they produced. Now we are being told that as hard as you work, you will have
most of it taken away from you, and given to those who do not want to work, or
can not find a job as the CEO of a company, and not start out as a beginner in
that company and work their way up the ladder.
WAKE UP AMERICA, THIS CHANGE THAT YOU HAVE IS NOT THE CHANGE YOU THOUGHT YOU

Pope Benedict XVI All to receive the Host on their knees, and on their tongue
While the Holy Father has made it clear that the reception of Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue is his preference and is now his practice at Papal Masses, as you can see in the video below, Msgr. Jim Lisante has recently tried to mandate that First Communicants at his parish may only receive Holy Communion in the hand.
At the meeting for parents of First Communicants at his parish this last month, Msgr. Lisante apparently informed the parents that their children could only receive their First Communion in the hand at their First Communion Mass in May. After all, they were told, the apostles didn't receive Holy Communion at the Last Supper on the tongue.
Fortunately, an astute observer---appointed under the previous regime---was able to convince the pastor that forcing children to receive Communion in the hand is against Church law, something our easygoing, "make-it-up-as-you-go-alo ng" pastor, a former Chancery official, and a long-time monsignor,(having been appointed in his early 30's) didn't seem to know.
As it stands now, thanks to the quick intervention of the above-mentioned observer, the 2009 First Communion class will be instructed on the reception of Holy Communion both in the hand and on the tongue, and the latter option will be available to them at their First Communion Mass.
Are we to believe Bishop Murphy's claim that Msgr. Jim Lisante is the best possible choice for the spiritual lives of the people of Our Lady of Lourdes when, in addition to distorting the Church's teaching on marriage and family, as has been amply demonstrated on this blog, he can't even seem to get the Church's discipline straight on the manner in which Holy Communion is to be distributed?
Now here's a thought: Since we all know Bishop Murphy has invested too much political capital in Msgr. Lisante to ever admit he has made a serious mistake in sending him to OLL, how about him asking instead for the resignation of the 3-member clerical panel who ostensibly recommended this disastrous mismatch in the first place?
Just askin'....

At the meeting for parents of First Communicants at his parish this last month, Msgr.
