Psalm 1: The happiness of the just and the evil state of the wicked.
"Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper. Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just. For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish"

Psalm 22:
God's spiritual benefits to faithful souls.
1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. 2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: 3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake. 4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. 5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
[1] "Ruleth me": In Hebrew, Is my shepherd, viz., to feed, guide, and govern me.
6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

"Heresy starts with an attempt to annihilate them that remain faithful; when it has grown tired of open persecution, it vents its spleen in insults and calumnies; and when these do not produce the desired effect, hypocrisy comes in with its assurances of friendly forbearance."
A person who was praying to St. Peter and St. Paul to give him knowledge about the Church came across our videos in “an unexplained manner”. He posted this comment on our video Faustina & The Divine Mercy Deception, and he said it’s all making sense.

@LouieVerrecchio In the Rituale Romanum, priests are told not to believe revelations demons make about hidden things, future events, or other matters. Ripperger does so and teaches them as fact.
@LouieVerrecchio Thank you for writing this. One of the most terrifying things that Ripperger and others in the NO sect do as well is to completely ignore the Church’s instructions on how to deal with demons.
Miracle of the Candle: (From St Bernadette Soubirous, by Abbe Francois Trocu)
Two most attentive observers remained close to Bernadette: M. Jacomet, who, with a view to a report, did not miss a single one of her actions: Dr Dozous, who followed her 'step by step, his eyes constantly fixed on her' to study her case once more at leisure.
"Bernadette smiles, she bows [noted the Commissioner], then she climbs up the space that separates her from the grotto and takes up her position there, motionless, smiling and bowing at intervals."
The last phase of this seventeenth Apparition was marked by what has generally been termed 'the miracle of the candle'. Bernadette, on the testimony of Dr Dozous, 'was holding a large blest candle, alight'. Her cousin, André Sajous, informs us that it was 'a twenty-sous candle'. 'As the Apparition continued,' adds Julie Garros, who was present, 'the candle gradually slipped down so that the flame was playing on the inside of her hand.' Jean-Marie, Bernadette's little brother, remembered 'seeing this very clearly as it passed between her fingers'. A big schoolboy of thirteen, Bernard Joanas, who eventually succeeded M. Pomian as chaplain to the Hospice in Lourdes, had managed to worm his way through to within two yards of where Bernadette was kneeling. 'Her face,' he related, 'was hidden from me by the doctor's body. But I saw his hand gripping the child's arm as if to feel her pulse, and at the same moment I saw the flame of the candle passing through her fingers and licking her hand. As soon as the fact was noticed, those near her shouted in patois: "My God, she is burning herself!"" And young Joanas heard the doctor's stern com- mand: 'Leave her alone!' 'Her hand was then left in the flame for several minutes.' 'Bernadette meanwhile made no movement.'
At last, to the great relief of the onlookers, the ecstasy ended and down fell the candle. Abbé Joanas reports: 'I can still see Dr Dozous taking the child's hand; still see him rub it with his right sleeve (there must have been a little smoke on it); still hear him exclaim in a loud voice, "There's nothing." These words were passed rapidly back to the furthest part of the crowd and caused a wave of excitement approaching delirium.'
Meanwhile the doctor carried on with his experiment.
"Addressing the woman who had taken the candle [he recorded], I asked her to relight it and give it back to me. I immediately put the flame of the candle several times in succession under Bernadette's left hand, and she drew it away very quickly, saying to me, 'You are burning me.' I report this fact just as I saw it, and as several others, who were like me close to Bernadette, observed perfectly. I report it exactly as it took place, without attempting any explanation of it."
The impressive 'miracle of the candle '-which, according to reliable witnesses, had already had at least one precedent at Massabielle--instead of being a miracle on its own, could it not be simply one of the effects of a miracle more wonderful still: the ecstasy of Bernadette in her contemplation of the Virgin Mary? As mystical writers teach, the 'absorption in God' that is produced by ecstasy, is able to effect the 'suspension of the senses, even of the external senses' to such a degree as to render them completely impassible. Is it not recounted of St Thomas Aquinas that, being enraptured for a long time in God, he failed to notice that his torch was burning his fingers?

Also, Trent Horn, a faithless heretic, is completely uncharitable in his response, allowing the protestant to feel good about being on the road to hell!
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Sess. 8, Nov. 22, 1439, ex cathedra:
"...Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity."

John 3:5 mockers deceive people by ignoring many facts that contradict their position and by misrepresenting the true witness of the Church on the necessity of baptism. Here's early Church father St. Maximus of Turin on baptism. In their delusion the John 3:5 mockers condemn this position as heresy.
St. Maximus of Turin, Sermon 65, c. AD 423: “For before a catechumen is baptized, he lies like water, cold and pallid, but a member of the faithful is vigorous and ruddy like wine. A catechumen, I say, is like water that has no taste, no smell, and no value; which avails not for use, delights not for refreshment, and passes not to be kept. For just as water, when kept too long, turns interiorly worse, rots and stinks, so too the catechumen, when he remains a catechumen for too long, turns interiorly worse, becomes worthless and is lost. For the Lord said, ‘Unless one is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.’ (Jn 3:5) But he who does not enter the Kingdom necessarily remains in Hell.”
St. Maximus of Turin was an early Church father who lived in the 5th century. In 1784, by the order of Pope Pius VI, his sermons were published. He took part in a number of important early councils, including a Roman Synod in 465 where his signature appears after the pope’s signature. St. Maximus teaches that unbaptized catechumens are not inside the Church and cannot be saved without the Sacrament of Baptism.

"Secularization" has not ushered in an era of enlightenment; it has made way for new gods and new cults that may yet make the secular weep. As René Girard put it: "[T]he modern process of stamping out religion produces countless caricatures of it." https://t.co/yK8mOSeeHk
