https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/house-mass-banned HOUSE-MASSES BANNED by Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th. • ChurchMilitant.com • March 18, 2020 Faithful Catholic struggles to understand why I sent this headline to a priest friend, who is currently on the road to four states to provide home masses for faithful for whom he provides spiritual direction, whose home dioceses have stopped public masses. His response: “Elizabeth I banned them, too, but Saint Edmund Campion said them anyway.”
The United States is practically in darkness. Only 15 diocese of the 177 have masses. https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/house-mass-banned
A chink of light, Jo, and please God your father will make a speedy and full recovery. March 19th is the feast of St. Joseph. This from the Dominicans' Facebook page: Vigil of St. Joseph at St. Saviour’s. Guardian of the Holy Family, protect our families. BEHOLD a faithful and wise servant, whom the Lord hath set over His household. V.Glory and riches shall be in his house. R. And his justice shall endureth for ever and ever. Let us pray: O God, who by Thine unspeakable Providence didst vouchsafe to choose Blessed Joseph to be the Spouse of Thy most holy Mother: mercifully grant that as we venerate him for our Protector on earth, we may be found worthy to be aided by his intercession in heaven. Amen.
Boy, emotions and fear are beginning to run really high for some people. I have to remember this, and try to be patient and loving with others who are really spiraling with fear. It is sad to be on the receiving end of this when you are trying to do something nice for someone and they yell or insult you. I hope not to do this to anyone myself. Imagine how our Lord felt.
I know but please try to prayerfully remember this. You and I have had years to try to wrap our heads around what is now upon us. Now, think how they feel? Trust God and help each person one at a time, the best you can.
Carol, you were right about march 18 being an important date... it ended The 2nd of the months visits from Our Lady to one of the Medjogore visionaries. I believe this is a big, big thing...
Things are gathering pace.. This virus; the significant changes to everyday life, as well as the loss of Our Ladys '2nd of the month' visits may not be the end... but I believe they are monumental signposts on the road to where we are going.. These times are frightening.
no, not the end. As I know you understand as well, Our Lady’s withdrawal today signifies rather, the beginning
This from the Times of London: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chinese-scientists-destroyed-proof-of-virus-in-december-rz055qjnj There's one month's unlimited access to their website but you have to sign up. I won't be signing up but there's enough in the part that's visible to give the gist of it. Here's the part which can be read without signing in: Chinese scientists destroyed proof of virus in December Chinese laboratories identified a mystery virus as a highly infectious new pathogen by late December last year, but they were ordered to stop tests, destroy samples and suppress the news, a Chinese media outlet has revealed. A regional health official in Wuhan, centre of the outbreak, demanded the destruction of the lab samples that established the cause of unexplained viral pneumonia on January 1. China did not acknowledge there was human-to-human transmission until more than three weeks later. The detailed revelations by Caixin Global, a respected independent publication, provide the clearest evidence yet of the scale of the cover-up in the crucial early weeks when the opportunity was lost to control the outbreak. Censors have been rapidly deleting the report from the Chinese internet.
“Most of Those Infected Won’t Even Know It” – Israeli Virologist Tells World Leaders to Calm Unnecessary Panic over ‘Exaggerated’ Coronavirus The cases of the coronavirus jumped to 9,225 in the US on Wednesday. The number of deaths blamed on the virus is 150 in the US. The number of estimated deaths from the flu this year, based on numbers from the CDC is 22,000. Top Israeli virologist Prof. Jihad Bishara, the director of the Infectious Disease Unit at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, said this week most people will recover from the coronavirus without even knowing they were sick. Dr. Bishara said global leaders and the media need to quit pushing panic and calm people down. The Times of Israel reported: A leading Israeli virologist on Sunday urged world leaders to calm their citizens about the coronavirus pandemic, saying people were being whipped into unnecessary panic. Prof. Jihad Bishara, the director of the Infectious Disease Unit at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, said that some of the steps being taken in Israel and abroad were very important, but the virus is not airborne, most people who are infected will recover without even knowing they were sick, the at-risk groups are now known, and the global panic is unnecessary and exaggerated. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years,” Bishara said in a Channel 12 interview. “I’ve been through MERS, SARS, Ebola, the first Gulf war and the second, and I don’t recall anything like this. There’s unnecessary, exaggerated panic. We have to calm people down. “People are thinking that there’s a kind of virus, it’s in the air, it’s going to attack every one of us, and whoever is attacked is going to die,” he said. “That’s not the way it is at all. It’s not in the air. Not everyone [who is infected] dies; most of them will get better and won’t even know they were sick, or will have a bit of mucus.” But in Israel and around the world, “everybody is whipping everybody else up into panic — the leaders, via the media, and the wider public — who then in turn start to stress out the leaders. We’ve entered some kind of vicious cycle.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...necessary-panic-over-exaggerated-coronavirus/
Praying for your father. May the Lord guide the hands and hearts of all who treat him and may the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around him and hold him close.
From the blog non veni pacem: Is Coronavirus the demon spawn of Pachamama? Posted onMARCH 15, 2020 Giuseppe Pellegrino@pellegrino2020 Here is a provocative thesis, that of course there is no way to "prove" - The closing of St. Peter's Basilica and the cancellation of Holy Week services is directly related to the demonic pachamama idol worship there last October. Thoughts on this anyone? Klaus Peper: BenedictusΧριστοῦVIcarius@folcmar What a coincidence: #Pachamama and #coronavirus. 1/ Scientists from Hong Kong estimate that on January 25th there were already 75815 people infected by the coronavirus and that the number of infected people doubled every 6.4 days. ...https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30260-9/fulltext#%20 … The regression model on the 6.4 days of doubling suggests the virus was “born” the day after the Pachamama demon worship Mass at St. Peter’s. Fascinating.
Good reminder to try to understand what our bishops are struggling with. Praying for them and being charitable is the right path.
