When a Pope Flees Rome: Fatima & Other Prophecies


Benedict XVIs resignation
and the upcoming conclave
to elect a new pope deserves
attention of the Catholic
kind, issuing from prayer,
study, and action - as
opposed to the (usual)
yellow journalism that blows
everything out of proportion.
When we consider the Pope's
selection of words that he with full freedom" did "renounce" the ministry of the Bishop of Rome (etc.) - we can
only take him at his word. We may or may not agree that a Pope "should" resign when
he no longer feels up to the task. For now, that is a topic I will leave to other Catholic
writers. Perhaps it is my practical Italian side but, in my view, the deed is done and
now the Church needs a new and very holy pope.
And so, I again return to "Petrus Romanus, Fatima and the Third Secret Vision which
describes a mysterious "bishop dressed in white. May we also keep in mind that the
apparitions of the Virgin of Fatima (approved by the Church as worthy of belief) offer
to mankind highly efficacious spiritual solutions which the Malachy prophecies do not?
Simply stated, Our Lady of Fatima asked for the following: Worldwide devotion to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, papal promulgation of the Five First Saturdays of
Reparation, the public dissemination of the Third Secret Text, and the collegial
consecration of Russia (and Russia alone) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Individual Catholics can and do respond to other Fatima requests (daily Rosary, daily
duty offered in penance and for the conversion of sinners, the wearing of the Brown
Scapular, conscientiously working not to offend the Lord our God any longer, and
taking part in First Saturday devotions where they might be offered, or otherwise
trying to privately make the intentions when the public intentions of required
Confession, Holy Mass, Rosary, and 15 additional minutes on the 15 Rosary mysteries
of the Redemption) . However, only a Pope can take action to fulfill the other
requests of the Fatima Virgin.

Also available IN PAPERBACK at


Amazon, "Fatima: The Signs and the
Secrets" is a unique book that draws in
the reader for a closer look at the
intriguing signs of the 1917 Fatima,
Portugal apparitions.
An easily-readable, stimulating, and
spiritually inspiring work, the book
examines what Pope Benedict XVI called
Fatimas prophetic mission, quoting
from Divine Revelation and Church
Doctors and providing the necessary
insight into the meanings of the many
mysterious signs seen or heard at
Fatima (a cloud, a golden orb, rainbow
colors or stars in the sky, etc.) through the
months of June-October, 1917.
Written by Marianna Bartold, an
experienced researcher, Catholic
publisher, Latin Mass magazine editor,
and Catholic Family News' columnist for
"Secrets of the Catholic City," there is no
other book like it!

From the same author, Marianna Bartold:


Learn about the "secret" coded
language on the miraculous Image of
Guadalupe that converted millions of
Aztecs. But does the Miracle on St. Juan
Diego's tilma also contain an
Apocalyptic message? (Kindle version)

In my first article on Petrus Romanus, I wrote about the most famous (and
controversial) prophecies which allegedly predict a line of popes. The list was
supposedly written by St. Malachy of Ireland (1094 A.D. - 1148 A.D.). The popes, listed
by attributes (not by name) are said to be the last popes - either in historical time
or the end of a certain period of time. The main problem is a question of validity,
since the Malachy prophecies were supposedly "lost" for a few centuries, only to be
discovered in the 16th century.
It was then that Arnold de Wyon (also spelled "Wion") claimed to have found the
prophecies and published them in a very large book known as the "Lignum Vitae,"
which translates from Latin to English as "Ironwood Life." However, another version of
the story says the prophecies were written by someone else (presumably Wyon) who
gave the credit to the respected but deceased Malachy. Another problem arises when
it is claimed that St. Bernard, a good friend of St. Malachy's and in whose arms the
saint died, never made any mention of Malachys papal prophecies. (Incidentally,
there are other prophecies of St. Malachy which are not contested as truly his.)

Keeping It Catholic - The Blog!: When a Pope Flees Rome...

http://keepingitcatholic.blogspot.de/2013/03/when-pope-fle...

In another of my recent articles, I shared a partial list of the popes (as they appear in
one book of prophecy), so I wont repeat them here. Instead, I'll refer only to the last
two mentioned - "Gloria Olivae" (Glory of the Olive) and "Petrus Romanus" (Peter
the Roman).

Long before Benedict XVI became pope, it seems that many among the Benedictines
believed that "Gloria Olivae" would come from their order or somehow represent their
order. Benedict XVI was not a Benedictine; he was and is an academic. As it turns out,
Benedict XVI chose his papal name in honor of Pope Benedict XV (who reigned
immediately after Pope St. Pius X, ascending the papal throne in 1914 and ruling
during World War I) and St. Benedict of Nursia, who was founder of the Benedictines.
Interestingly enough, the Benedictine crest bears an olive branch, which is the symbol
of a peace offering. Furthermore, it is said that St. Benedict of Nursa prophesied
that, shortly before the world's end, the Olivetans would lead the Catholic Church.
(Technically, an Olivetan an olive branch - refers to a member of the
Benedictines, but some think it could also mean all those who are the spiritual
children of St. Benedict. If that is true, it is then surmised that it is possible that
Benedict XVI could be considered an Olivetan.)
How do some think that Benedict XVI fulfills the alleged prophecy that he is/was
"the Glory of the Olive? One could point to the act of justice which he made on
behalf of the Tridentine liturgy, especially when Benedict XVI coolly stated in his Moto
Propio of July 7, 2007 that it had never been juridically abrogated. Certainly, this
one act has done much for the Church, although it cannot be denied that access to the
Tridentine Rite is still not universal, as it should be. He also extended the olive branch
of peace to the SSPX, lifting the excommunications of the four living bishops (and so it
follows that the SSPX should not be accused of schism, especially by those who speak
of the proper and due filial obedience to the Holy Father).
In the Malachy prophecy, Petrus Romanus (in Latin, Peter the Roman) then follows
Glory of the Olive: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will
reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the
seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people."
(Some versions add the word "Finis" - i.e., "The End." This addition is also questioned
was it added simply to indicate the end of the prophecy or the end of time? Or was it
added by an early printer who published the papal prophecies? Nobody knows.)
While we Catholics should be earnestly praying for a deeply holy Pope's election, it
seems that conjecture of Petrus Romans actual identity is still arousing curiosity. For
now, let's discuss a generous number of "private" prophecies that describe events
surrounding a future pope (who might be Peter the Roman and/or which also may
refer to a bishop dressed in white, as described in the Third Secret Vision).
Everywhere there is war! Peoples and nations are pitted against each other. War,
war, war! Civil and foreign wars! Mourning and death everywhere! Famine over the
whole world. Will Lutetius [Paris] be destroyed? Why, O Lord, dost Thou not stop all
this with Thy arm? Must also the elements be the instrument of Thy wrath? Enough, O
Lord, enough! The cities are destroyed, the natural elements are set loose, the
earthquakes are everywhere. But mercy, mercy for Rome! But Thou hearest not
my entreaties, and Rome also collapses in the tumult. And I see the king of Rome
with his Cross and his tiara, shaking the dust off his shoes, and hastening in his
flight to other shores. Thy Church, O Lord, is torn apart by her own children. One
camp is faithful to the fleeing Pontiff, the other is subject to the new government of
Rome which has broken the Tiara. But almighty God will, in His mercy, put an end to
this confusion and a new age will begin. Then, said the Spirit, this is the beginning of
the End of Time. (The source of this prophecy is unknown, but there exist many
manuscript copies of it dating to the late fifth century, A.D.)

THE SAINT AND HIS BEES

St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098 A.D. - 1179 A.D.)


St. Hildegard was "officially" canonized during Benedict XVI's papacy. (She was also
proclaimed a Doctor of the Church, joining three other women who are canonized
saints and also Doctors of the Church - St. Catherine of Siena, St. Terese of Avila and
St. Therese of Lisieux, commonly known as "The Little Flower of Jesus.")
Coincidentally, St. Hildegard was a member of the (womens) order of Benedictines. A

very gifted woman, she was a healer and a prophetess. Now, since canonizations are
not supposed to be an arbitrary process (the Church doesn't "make" saints like an auto
factory "makes" cars!), it's intriguing to know that, in the centuries since her death,
she was always considered a saint (and usually called one). However, and as already
mentioned, only in the past year was she canonized - by Pope Benedict XVI.

Suchbegriff eingeben...

Recently, it was said that Benedict XVI "turned to the writings of the 12th century
visionary with her sharp critique of clergy and the church [sic] during her own 12th
century milieu as a contemporary diagnosis for the sins of its priests in the global sex
scandal." In other words, St. Hildegard (like St. Catherine of Siena) was no coward
and so she did not hesitate to openly correct the clergy when they deserved it. In one
of her prophecies, St. Hildegard stated:
ST. FELIX AND THE SPIDER

"The time is coming when princes and peoples will renounce the authority of Rome.
Individual countries will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German
Empire will be divided. Church property will be secularized. Priests will be
persecuted. After the birth of Anti-Christ, heretics will preach their false doctrines
undisturbed, resulting in Christians having doubts about their Holy Catholic Faith."
(Did anyone else catch that last part? St. Hildegard implicitly stated that Christians
are those who adhere to the Holy Catholic Faith.)
Saint Felix and
the Spider

She also said, "Toward the end of the world, mankind will be purified by sufferings.
This will be true especially of the clergy, who will be robbed of all property...When
the clergy has adopted a simple manner of living, conditions will improve."
Now, onto other prophecies about a future pope, the dangers to the entire Church,
and related subjects.

The great monarch and the great Pope will precede the Antichrist. The nations will
be at war for four years and a great part of the world will be destroyed. The Pope will
go over the sea carrying the sign of Redemption on his forehead. The great Monarch
will come to restore peace and the Pope will share in the victory.

Brother John of the Cleft Rock (1340 A.D.)


"Toward the end of the world, the tyrants and the hostile people will suddenly rob the
prelates and clergy of the Church of all their possessions and grievously afflict and
martyr them. The ones who heap the most abuse upon them will be held in high
esteem. The clergy cannot escape these persecutions, but because of them all
servants of the Church will be forced to lead an apostolic life. At that time the Pope,
with the cardinals, will have to flee Rome under trying circumstances to a place
where he will be unknown. He will die a cruel death in exile. The sufferings of the
Church will be much greater than at any previous time in historyGod will raise a
holy Pope over whom the Angels will rejoice. Enlightened by God, this man will
reconstruct almost the entire world through his holiness."

"The Church will sink still deeper until she will at last seem to be extinguished, and
the succession of Peter and the other Apostles to have expired. After that, she will
be victoriously exalted in the sight of all doubters." He (along with Dionysius Ryckel)
also foresaw that "the Church will be punished because the majority of Her members high and low - will become so perverted."

"Someday a Pope will flee from Rome in company of only four cardinals and come to
Koeln [Cologne]." [Coincidentally, World Youth Day 2005 took place in Cologne, in
which Benedict XVI participated. During that same visit to Cologne, he also visited a
Jewish synagogue. It was his first visit to his native Germany in many, many years. The
prophecy above mentions that a Pope will some day flee to a place where he is
unknown. Is it possible that the citizens of Cologne would not recognize the Pope,
whoever he may be? One way or the other, it is difficult to answer that question with
certainty.]

(1774 A.D. 1824 A.D.)

April (1)
March (17)

On May 13, 1820 (Take note of the date 97 years before the first Fatima apparition,
to the day!): I saw also the relationship between the two popesI saw how baleful
would be the consequences of this false church. [Catholics know there cannot be two
popes. What is meant by the relationship between the two popes? Was Venerable Anna
Katerina seeing a vision of a reigning pope and a retired, living pope? And what does
she mean by this false church?] Of this false church, she said: I saw it increase in
size; heretics of every kind came into the city [presumably, the city of Rome]. The
local clergy grew lukewarm, and I saw a great darknessThen, the vision seemed to
extend on every side. Whole Catholic communities were oppressed, harassed,
confined, and deprived of their freedom. I saw many churches close down, great
miseries everywhere, wars and bloodshed. A wild and ignorant mob took to violent
action. But it did not last long.
Once more, I saw the Church of Peter was undermined by a plan evolved by the
secret sect, while storms were damaging it. [Remember Benedict XVIs comments
about steering the Barque of Peter through tempests?] But I saw also that help was
coming when distress had reached its peak. I saw again the Blessed Virgin ascend on
the Church and spread her mantle. I saw a Pope who was at once gentle, and very
firmI saw a great renewal, and the Church rose high in the sky.

In August, 1820, Venerable Emmerich saw a vision that brings to mind a vision later
seen by Blessed Jacinta of Fatima in 1917 (which, at the appropriate point, I will later
insert):

I see the Holy Father in great anguish. He lives in a palace other than before and
he admits only a limited number of friends near him. I fear that the Holy Father will
suffer many more trials before he dies. I see that the false church of darkness is
making progress, and I see the dreadful influence it has on the people. The Holy
Father and the Church are verily in so great a distress that one must implore God day
and night.

In other visions from August to October, 1820, Ven. Emmerich said: I see more
martyrs, not now but in the futureI saw the secret sect relentlessly undermining the
great Church. All over the world, good and devout people, especially the clergy, were
harassed, oppressed, and put into prison. I had the feeling that they would become
martyrs some day. Then I saw an apparition of the Mother of God [could this be a
reference to the future apparitions at Fatima?], and she said the tribulation would be
very greatThe Church is in great danger. We must pray so that the Pope may not
leave Rome; countless evils would result if he did. In those days, Faith will fall very
low, and it will be preserved in some places only. [At Fatima, Our Lady introduced
the Third Secret with these words: In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be
preserved, etc. This warning strongly indicates that only in parts of Portugal will the
dogma of the Faith remain. That is, while parts of one nation in the entire world will
remain faithful, it is also likely that it will also be preserved in some places like
individual homes.]

In 1822, Ven. Emmerich also stated: I saw the battle also. The enemies were far
more numerous, but the small army of the faithful cut down whole rows [of enemy
soldiers]. During the battle, the Blessed Virgin stood on a hill, wearing a suit of
armor. It was a terrible war. At the end, only a few fighters for the just cause
survived, but the victory was theirs.

INFALLIBLE INSPIRATION

Blessed Anna Marie Taigi (19th century wife, mother, and mystic)
Blessed Taigi foretold the three days of world-wide darkness, which is one of two
great punishments that will affect the whole earth. What is especially interesting is
that all of the following quotes were included in the documents of her
Beatification:
God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and
other evils, it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. There shall
come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights.
Nothing can be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly,
but not only, the enemies of religion.
It will be impossible to use any man-made lighting during this darkness, except
blessed candles. He, who out of curiosity, opens his window to look out, or leaves his
home, will fall dead on the spot. During these three days, people should remain in
their homes, pray the Rosary, and beg God for mercy.
All the enemies of the Church, whether known or unknown, will perish over the
whole earth during that universal darkness, with the exception of a few who will be
converted. The air shall be infected by demons who will appear under all sorts of
hideous forms.
Religion shall be persecuted, and priests will be massacred. Churches will be closed,
but only for a short time. The Holy Father shall be obliged to leave Rome.

"We must repeat with the utmost energy in


these times of social and intellectual
anarchy when everyone takes it upon
himself to teach as a teacher and
lawmaker - the City cannot be built
otherwise than as God has built it;
society cannot be setup unless the Church
lays the foundation and supervises the
work; no, civilization is not something yet
to be found, nor is the New City to be built
on hazy notions; it has been in existence
and still is: it is Christian civilization, it is
the Catholic City. It has only to be set up
and restored continually against the
unremitting attacks of insane dreamers,
rebels, and miscreants. OMNIA
INSTAURARE IN CHRISTO. ("To restore
all things in Christ.")

1910
Issued by the only canonized pontiff in 500
years,
Pope St. Pius X

"Unless the Lord keep the city, he


watcheth in vain that keepeth it."
~The Holy Bible, Psalm 126:1

KING OF THE CATHOLIC CITY

She then spoke of events in France that presage the increasing chastisements:
France shall fall into a frightful anarchy. The French shall have a desperate civil war
in the course of which even old men will take up arms. The political parties, having
exhausted their blood and their rage without any satisfactory settlement, shall agree
to the last extremity to have recourse to the Holy See. Then the Pope shall send to
France a special legateIn consequence of the information received, His Holiness
himself shall nominate a most Christian King for the government of France.

http://keepingitcatholic.blogspot.de/2013/03/when-pope-fle...

After the three days of darkness, St. Peter and St. Paul, having come down from
Heaven, will preach in the whole world and designate a new Pope. A great light will
flash from their bodies and will settle upon the cardinal who is to become Pope.
Christianity then will spread throughout the world. He is the Holy Pontiff, chosen by
God to withstand the storm. At the end, he will have the gift of miracles, and his
name shall be praised over the whole earth. [Since Blessed Anna Marie foresaw that
those days will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of religion, the inference
here is that the pope who appointed a King for France will have died, possibly a victim
of the Three Days darkness. Perhaps he resigns but it is more likely he died. The
question is: Why is there not a conclave of cardinals to elect the new Pope? Are they
also dead? This last sentence also implies the literal, heavenly assistance of the two
great saints, martyred in Rome Peter, the first pope, and Paul, the Apostle to the
Gentiles, whose souls will appear to resemble their bodies.]

To Whom every knee shall bend...


QUEEN OF THE CATHOLIC CITY

Blessed Anna Marie concludes this prophecy by saying, Whole nations will come
back to the Church and the face of the earth will be renewed. Russia, England, and
China will come into the Church. [It seems, then, that the earth will be renewed
spiritually and materially, for many prophecies of the chastisement known as the
Three Days darkness declare that dead bodies will outnumber the living and the world
itself will be almost rent asunder by earthquakes, catastrophic flooding of oceans,
seas, and rivers, and tempests like tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunamis.]

The Virgin & Queen Mother, Our Lady


Mary

Bishop George M. Wittman (19th century)


Very sad times are coming for the Holy Church of Jesus Christ. The Passion of Our
Lord will be renewed in a most painful manner in the Church and in her supreme
Head [the Pope]. Brutal hands will be laid upon his person. Secret societies will work
great ruin, and they will exercise a great financial power.

Hail, full of grace...

Blessed Jacinta of Fatima in 1917:

STEWARD OF THE CATHOLIC CITY

I saw the Holy Father in a very big house, kneeling by a table, with his heard buried
in his hands, and he was weeping. Outside the house, there were many people. Some
of them were throwing stones, others were cursing him and using bad language. Poor
Holy Father, we must pray very much for him.

The Vicar of Christ, Steward of the


Catholic City

Sometime later in the same year, Jacinta said to Lucia and her brother, Francisco:
Cant you see all those highways and roads and fields full of people, who are crying
with hunger and have nothing to eat? And the Holy Father in a church praying before
the Immaculate Heart of Mary? And so many people praying with him? A few days
afterward, she asked Lucia: Can I say that I saw the Holy Father and all those
people? Lucia promptly answered: No. Dont you see thats part of the secret? If
you do, theyll find out right away!

Shortly before her death, Blessed Jacinta said : If men will repent, God will pardon
them, but if they do not amend their lives, there will come upon the earth the most
terrible chastisement ever known.
Pray much for the Holy Father!

Pope St. Pius X

(died 1914 A.D.)

In 1909: What I have seen is terrifying! Will I be the one, or will it be a successor?
What is certain is that the Pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the Vatican, he will
have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests!

THE PROMISE OF OUR LADY OF


FATIMA

In 1914, he again had a vision: I saw one of my successors by name fleeing over the
corpses of his brethren. He will flee to a place for a short respite where he is
unknown; but he himself will die a cruel death.

In the Third Secret Vision, the pope walks half trembling and with halting step,
indicating advanced age. As for Pope St. Pius Xs vision, it may be that a future pope
will take the name of Pius, but there is another consideration, which may or may not
be of significance: Pope St. Pius Xs baptismal name was Giuseppe Sarto; in Italian,
Giuseppe means Joseph the baptismal name of Pope Benedict XVI. (Fatima and

http://keepingitcatholic.blogspot.de/2013/03/when-pope-fle...

The foundress of the Calabrian nuns and a stigmatic, Sister Aiello was told by the
Virgin Mary:
Russia will march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her
flag over the dome of St. Peters. Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution
and Rome will be purified in blood for its many sins, especially those of impurity.
The flock is about to be dispersed and the Pope will suffer greatly.
The Blessed Virgin Mary also spoke to Sr. Elena of the Three Days Darkness, which
other prophecies indicate shall arrive toward the end of a period of great tribulation
and is sent by God to end the man-made chaos on earth. If these "private" prophecies
(and others mentioned here) are true, it seems that the Three Days' Darkness will
come before the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart and the promised
triumph of the same.
On a Good Friday, the Virgin said: Clouds with lightning rays of fire and a tempest of
fire will pass over the whole world and the punishment will be the most terrible
ever known in the history of mankind. It will last 70 hours. The wicked will be
crushed and eliminated. Many will be lost because they stubbornly remained in their
sins. Then they will feel the force of light over darkness. The hours of darkness are
nearsome nations will be purified while others will disappear entirely. [Let us also
recall that Our Lady of Fatima foretold, if Her requests are not heeded, the
annihilation of nations.]

Our Lady of Akita (October 13, 1973; 56th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun):
In Akita, Japan, a wooden statue of the Virgin perspired, wept tears, and also issued
blood from its right hand a total of 101 times. (Akita was investigated and approved
as worthy of belief.) Sister Agnes Sasaga, a deaf nun, interiorly heard the Virgin
Mary speak to her on many occasions. In October of 1973, the Virgin of Akita said:
As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Eternal Father will
inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than
the deluge, such as one will never have been seen before. Fire will fall from the sky
and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing
neither priests nor faithful.
And so we return to the most important Marian apparition in the worlds history
to Fatima and its Great Secret, which opened with a particular Vision and closed
with yet another Vision. The last and Third Secret of Fatima includes a vision
which begins with an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave
out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire. The Church and
the world still await the publication of the Virgins words that describe this mystifying
Vision.

In the Great Secret of Fatima, Our Lady foretold many terrible things, all of which
were conditional upon the collective response of the Church to Her requests. All of
the warnings have come to pass except the annihilation of nations and the other
chastisements which the Third Secret Vision portends. And why has this happened?
Because like the ancients of Old Testament times, not enough people are remaining
faithful to God and to the one true Church which He established.

After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and
a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand;
flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on
fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated
towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the
Angel cried out in a loud voice: Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in
an immense light that is God: something similar to how people appear in a
mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White we had the
impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and
women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a
big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before
reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half
trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for

the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the
mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of
soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died
one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and
various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the
Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in
which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls
that were making their way to God.

This is the third part of the Message of Our LadyIt will be very sad for everyone,
not one person will rejoice at all if beforehand the world does not pray and do
penance, said Sr. Lucia, the eldest Fatima visionary, in the famous 1957 Fr. Fuentes
interview. She also spoke of Our Ladys sadness, because no one has paid any
attention to her Message, neither the good nor the bad. The good continue on their
way but without giving any important to Her Message. The bad, not seeing the
punishment of God actually falling upon them, continue their life of sin without even
caring about the Message.
But believe me, Father, God will chastise the world and this will be in a terrible
manner. The punishment from Heaven is imminent.

Fatima: Still in Eclipse

Hi Marianna,
I just wanted to note that the term, "lignum vitae," has its roots in medieval devotional literature,
and in that sense translates as "tree of life," another term for the cross of Jesus. I only know this
because I was geeky enough to specialize in medieval literature during grad school.

I also want to say that I enjoy reading your blog posts very much. I discovered you a little too late
for my own family's homeschooling adventure (I taught my three sons during the 90s). But I
appreciate your well-written and well-researched posts, qualities that sometimes are a bit lacking
in the blogosphere. God bless!

Hello, Hawks:
Thanks for sharing with my readers the meaning of "lignum vitae." Wouldn't you know, I had
considered writing an explanatory paragraph or two on the book's title, but decided against it
since the article is so long. Btw, I think your form of "geekiness" is awesome. :)
It's heartening to know you're enjoying my blog posts and I do thank you for saying so. As for
homeschooling, as of 1990, we were doing the same. Again, I really appreciated your comment.
Thank you and may God bless you and yours always!

ON CHARITY

Master, which is
the greatest
commandment in
the law? Jesus
said to him: Thou
shalt love the Lord
thy God with thy
whole heart, and
with thy whole
soul, and with thy
whole mind. This
is the greatest and
the first
commandment.
And the second is
like to this: Thou
shalt love thy
neighbor as
thyself. On these
two
commandments
dependeth the
whole law and the
prophets.
~Mt 22: 36-40
And now there
remain faith, hope,
and charity, these
three: but the

greatest of these
is charity.
~1 Cor 13: 13
But above all
these things have
charity, which is
the bond of
perfection...
~Col 3:14
Now the end of
the commandment
is charity, from a
pure heart, and a
good conscience,
and an unfeigned
faith.
~1 Tim 1:5
But the fruit of the
Spirit is charity,
joy, peace,
patience,
benignity,
goodness,
longanimity.
Mildness, faith,
modesty,
continency,
chastity. Against
such there is no
law.
~Gal 5:22-23
For this is the
charity of God,
that we keep his
commandments:
and his
commandments
are not heavy.
~1 John 5:3
Charity is
defined as the
greatest of the
theological virtues,
by which we first
love God above all
things for His own
sake and our
neighbor as
ourselves, for the
love of God.
~My Catholic

1953
On

friendship:
Not everyone
who spares is a
friend, nor is
everyone who
strikes an enemy.

word, but with its

meaning of pure
love, it sums up

relation to God
and to his
neighbor."
~St. Aelred of
Rievaulx
"Charity unites us
to God. . . . There
is nothing mean in
charity, nothing
arrogant. Charity
knows no schism,
does not rebel,
does all things in
concord. In charity
all the elect of God
have been made
perfect. "
~Pope St.
Clement I
"Charity is a
greater virtue than
obedience. "
~St. Thomas
Aquinas
"Love God, serve
God: everything is
in that."

His Majesty love
us that He will
reward the love
we show to our
neighbors by
increasing our
love of Himself
and that in a
thousand ways."
~St. Teresa of
Avila
"At the end of our
lives, we shall all
be judged by
charity."
~St. John of the
Cross
"It is an act of
charity to cry out
against the wolf
when he is among
the sheep."
~St. Francis de

"O most loving

teach me to be
generous, to serve
You as You
deserve: to give
and not to count
the cost, to fight
and not to heed
the wounds, to toil
and not to seek for
rest, to labor and
not to ask for any
other reward save
that of knowing
that I do Your holy
will."
