Yes! I remember that! I don’t think they do that anymore, sad to say. We go for vacation every few years and have not noticed TV stations doing it anymore
My Mom Linda, started a group devotion for the Divine Mercy in 2 town churches in Cebu, Philippines. (Naga and Carcar city) in late 1990s. We all really believed that was her calling in this world, to make His mercy known. Up to now, the Divine Mercy group still lives on in our Church. ❤ When She was in comatose, her doctor told us she will never make to morning because she was showing internal bleeding. When I checked her body, my family was in great awe when we saw where the bleeding were. It was the same place were Jesus was hurt. It was on her forehead looked like she was wearing a crown, ribs, wrist and knees. As a Nurse, that was unusual to see. . But after few days my mom woke up and had lived another 6 months of her life. She passed in our home last 2017. ❤ In our Family, we all have devotion to His Divine Mercy. We still pray the 3 o’clock chaplet of the Divine Mercy.. thanks to @Hallow now we can pray it even if I’m in the US.
Great show! I love St. Faustina . I wholeheartily wish more churches would discuss this saint and have the Divine Mercy Chaplet at least 1 time a week.
My Gosh!!!! I just had to pause the video at 14:47 at the mention of the painter having to repaint the face 26 times. In the ancient Hebrew Tradition of Kabbalah, 26 is the holiest of numbers because it represents the unutterable lost translation of the name of God that we pronounce as Yahweh. Its called the tetragrammaton because the hebrew name is YHVH. And in hebrew, the letters were also their numbers. So, when you add YHVH, it equals 26!!! Amazing. And as I said, we actually dont have the proper translation of YHVH anymore, but it is mostly rendered as YaHWeH or JeHoVaH. Amazing!
I started praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and my heart is changed . Learning about St. Faustina has changed me and I love Jesus who is Divine Mercy for us.
Francis Cabrini was unbelievable with how much she traveled for the faith. I love faistinas diary too. The whole divine mercy devotion has an extreme obvious power.
Going back and watching all these older ones, to What you were saying Ryan D, I have 5 kids and before bed readings of the beatitudes, the Rosary and/or Gregorian chant knocks the kids right out 🙏🏻
God bless you all. I recently fell back into a bad bout of anxiety and Our Blessed Lord has always answered with His Divine Mercy. God bless you. Always remember that here, you did His work and helped a suffering man in His affliction.
I have started a men’s Divine Mercy Cenacle at our church and prayerfully hopeful it will drawn more into learning about the blessings of Jesus forgiveness and a plenary indulgence we may receive thru his Divine Mercy.
Your show on census Tino was warming like the sun rays on a cool day and moving to the Heart of Love of God like Niagara Falls I can almost see our Lord and savior whose smile was like whipped cream on a banana split as she said Jesus I trust in you I extend the blessings of the United hearts of the Holy Trinity in Union with Mary Saint Joseph since Christina John Paul II be closed on your journey there and back
The Diary of St. Faustina is a true spiritual gem. Every word, every paragraph, is dripping with spiritual grace. She must be made a Doctor of the Church one day! If you have not read the Diary yet, do yourself a favour and read it! And the Message of Divine Mercy is the singularly greatest revelation and devotion in the Church!
The talking of the JP 100th bday pilgrimage is pulllllinggg at my heart strings. Just go!! Go without me...Really....I’ll be fine😉. @ryandellacrosse what do you listen to with your littles at bedtime?? Really moving, Guys😇 high fives, all around🙌
What would the world do without Divine Mercy, today especially? I pray the chaplet everyday and I trust in Jesus's promises for those who pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy, as he tells encourages us thru Faustina: To ask his Divine Mercy now while we can, his second coming will be one of Justice. Can you imagine that? I rather be rapped in mercy than under the Justice of God! Jesus I trust in you!!!!

Thank you for this video, Yes I’m in a cynnacle Divine Mercy, in my parish which we read the Diary, with some scriptures so we have Bible and Catechism of Catholic Church book and we are on the 3rd workbook which has questions with the Diary, and it’s about St. Faustina life, which she had experienced and can relate into our life’s what she went thru, so the Divine Mercy entails About the Gospel, it’s an Extension of the Mass, because Jesus always ask St.Faustina to write down what He wants to teach us, which is about that Jesus Mercy is the Greatest Attribute than our Sins,Jesus wants St. Faustina to spread His message of His Great Mercy. “ Jesus I Trust In You” And every 3 pm prayer time to ask His mercy” Eternal Father I offer you
Um. Sorry John but the painter took directions from Faustyna, not the shroud. The painting was a representation of what St Faustina saw in her vision. The comparison to the shroud was after.
This is the only apparition of the Lord that I don’t subscribe to. I prefer the Sacred Heart. (Explanation: Private revelations, locutions and apparitions after the death of the last Apostle, are not bound to be believed by the Faithful.)
I agree with Adrian Spencer Elizalde, I don’t believe in the cult of Devine Mercy propagated by Sister Faustina. The devotion was condemned by the Church 3 times in the later part of the 1950’s only to be brought back by JP 2. The devotion fits perfectly with JP 2’s modernist views and teachings. There are many of her writings that contradict Church teaching and even state that she is more favored that Our Blessed Mother. Our Lord gave us his Most Sacred Heart with promises attached to the devotion. The devotion was given to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1674, a time when the Church was truly Catholic. The two devotions most needed in this time of crisis are the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Peter Cho Condemnations of this devotion What is wrong with the Divine Mercy devotion? First, when this devotion fell under the attention of Pius XII, he was concerned not with the prayers of the devotion, but with the circumstances of the so-called apparitions to Sr. Faustina and their content. That is, he was concerned with what Our Lord supposedly told Sr. Faustina and what he told her to make public. Pius XII, then, placed this devotion, including the apparitions and the writings of Sr. Faustina on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Prohibited Books). That list no longer exists, since it was formally abolished on June 14, 1966, by Paul VI. On the one hand, it is unfortunate that it no longer exists. But, on the other hand, if that list were to exist today it would be so vast that it would fill this room. Practically everything that is written today has something objectionable to the Catholic Faith. John Paul II endorses the divine Mercy devotion JPII supported the thrice-condemned devotion So, Pius XII put the writings of Sr. Faustina on the Index of Prohibited Books. That meant that he considered that their content would lead Catholics astray or in the wrong direction. Next, came other prohibitions made by Pope John XXIII. Twice in his pontificate, the Holy Office issued condemnations of the Divine Mercy writings. Today the Holy Office is called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But before it was called the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Its name has changed over several years. This Office - placed under the direct control of the Pope - is responsible for maintaining the purity of the doctrine and, therefore, it watches over the dissemination of different documents in the Church. If the Pope wants to correct the faithful on a particular topic, he usually does this through the Holy Office. So, the proclamations, declarations and documents issued by the Holy Office may be seen as coming from the Pope himself. Not once, but twice under Pope John XXIII, this particular devotion was condemned through the Holy Office. The first condemnation was in a plenary meeting held on November 19, 1958. The declaration from the Holy Office issued these three statements about this devotion: 1. There is no evidence of the supernatural origin of these revelations. This means that the members of the Holy Office examined the content and decided that there was nothing there to indicate the apparitions were supernatural. In an authentic apparition - Our Lady of Lourdes or Our Lady of Fatima, for example - you can look at the content and affirm it can not be definitively said they are of divine origin, but there is enough evidence to say that it is possibly so. On the other hand, in the Divine Mercy apparitions, they said definitively that there is no evidence whatsoever that they are supernatural. This translates, “We do not think that these apparitions come from God.” 2. No feast of Divine Mercy should be instituted. Why? Because if it is based on apparitions that are not clearly coming from God, then it would be rash and temerarious to institute a feast in the Church based on something that is a false apparition. 3. It is forbidden to disseminate writings propagating this devotion under the form received by Sr. Faustina, as well as the image typical of it. So, it was forbidden to even publish the image of Our Lord as Divine Mercy. Now, you have all seen this image, even if in passing, and you would know and recognize it. It shows a strange picture of Jesus that makes me uneasy. I cannot really tell you why. I do not like it. I don't like the face, I don't like the gesture, I don't like the posture, I don't like anything. This was my first impression of this image. I don't want it around because it is, for lack of a better term, creepy to me when I look at it. The image shows multicolored rays, I think they are red, white and blue, coming from His chest region - no heart, just these rays. You have all seen this. Well, that was the image that was forbidden to be published or spread. On March 6, 1959, the Holy Office issued a second decree on the order of Pope John XXIII. It forbade, once again, spreading the images of Divine Mercy and the writings of Sr. Faustina propagating this devotion. It also stated that it was up to the bishops to decide how they were going to remove the images that had already been displayed for public honor. I do not need to say much more about these declarations. Two Popes strongly warned the faithful of a danger in this devotion. Pius XII put it on the Index; John XXIII issued two condemnations through the Holy Office about the spiritual danger this devotion presented to the faithful. Not much more needs to be said on that.
Peter Cho Principal error: It presents an unconditional mercy Let me present you with a parallel thought. Our Lord with a halo displaying His Sacred Heart Above, a majestic Jesus with the halo of divinity and a well-defined Sacred Heart gives a clear blessing; below, a worker-like Jesus without the proper halo or a heart makes a gesture more like a "hello" than a blessing A halo-less Jesus with no heart gives off the rays of the divine mercy devotion Consider the true image of Christ Our Savior. Probably the most symbolically rich and accurate representation of Him, besides the Crucifix, is the image of the Sacred Heart, because the image of Our Lord with the Sacred Heart summarizes the whole theology of Redemption. They pierced His Hands, His Feet and His Sacred Heart; the crown of thorns encircles the Heart, which burns with love for man. This was the price He paid, the sacrifice He made for our redemption. He offered Himself because of His burning love for us despite the fact we are ungrateful creatures who rebelled against our Creator. Think about it. He created us and then we nailed Him to a cross even though He was God and completely innocent of any guilt. So, the Sacred Heart encapsulates all this. In the images of the Sacred Heart, He points to this symbolic font of love and mercy for us. The devotions to the Sacred Heart always suppose reparation for our sins. We are sinners, we must make reparation. Despite the promises from Our Lord and the fact that He paid an infinite price for our Redemption, we must make reparation. We should always do penance for our sins and make various kinds of reparation. Now, consider the image of Our Lord representing the Divine Mercy. It is an imitation of the Sacred Heart without the heart. When you pay attention, you notice that in the image there is no heart. There are simply rays coming out of a point above His waist. This symbolizes the error of the Divine Mercy devotion. It preaches that we can expect an unconditional mercy with no price to be paid whatsoever, with no obligations whatsoever. This is not the message of Christ. Christ is merciful. Time and time again, His mercy pardons our repeated sins in the Sacrament of Penance, always taking us back no matter how bad our sins are. And what happens in the Sacrament of Penance? The very name of the Sacrament tells us exactly what happens: to be effective the Sacrament supposes penance. Not only are you there at the Sacrament recognizing your full submission to the Church and your dependence on the Sacraments for forgiveness, but you walk out of the confessional with an imposed penance. You are also often reminded from this pulpit that you must not only fulfill that penance, but you must continually do penance, your own penance. You don't just say a decade of the Rosary and say, “Well, I've done my penance. Now, I can go merrily on my way.” You must always have the spirit of penance for your past sins; you must live with it. The central error of the Divine Mercy is that it promises lots of spiritual rewards with no requirement of penance, no mention of reparation, no mention of any condition. Unfortunately, this corresponds very much with what Pope John Paul II wrote in the Encyclical Dives in misericordia. I do not recommend reading it to any of you, except the most prepared, because it has many misleading things. It re-echoes this mercy with no price, gifts from heaven with no requirements, God's mercy with no mention of penance or reparation for sin whatsoever. Anticipating that encyclical Pope John Paul II already in 1978, the very first year of his pontificate, set in motion the canonization of Sr. Faustina and the institution of a Divine Mercy Sunday feast. As I said before, both Sr. Faustina’s writings and the very idea of having a Divine Mercy feast day had been prohibited and condemned by two previous Popes. Presumption in Sr. Faustina’s writings The writings of the Polish Sr. Faustina herself, published in English in 2007, pose cause for concern. The work has 640 pages and transcribes frequent supposed apparitions and messages from Our Lord. Faustina, John Paul II, and the divine Mercy devotion A new "save-yourself-without-effort" devotion This long thread of statements supposedly from Our Lord to Sr. Faustina has some things that would make a correct-thinking Catholic very uneasy, to say the least. I will exemplify by taking a few quotes from her writings. On October 2, 1936, she states that the “Lord Jesus” appeared to her and said, “Now, I know that it is not for the graces or gifts that you love Me, but because My Will is dearer to you than life. That is why I am uniting Myself with you so intimately as with no other creature.” (Divine Mercy in My Soul, The Diary of Sr. Faustina, Stockbridge, MA: Marian Press, 1987, p. 288) How can we believe that Our Lord has united Himself more intimately with Sr. Faustina than with the Blessed Virgin Mary? At first, we might read this and think, “Oh, that's beautiful.“ But later it may hit you, “Wait a minute, Our Lord united Himself more intimately with Sr. Faustina than with any other creature? Our Lady was the Immaculate Conception, but she was also His creature, she was created by Him as the rest of us were, albeit with the greatest exalted position free from original sin from the very beginning.” And now are we expected to believe that Our Lord told Sr. Faustina that He is more united to her than anybody else, even the Blessed Virgin Mary, and certainly more than all the other Saints? This affirmation smacks of pride in itself, let alone the assertion that it came from Heaven. This type of presumption is present in many other cases. Our Lord supposedly addressed Sr. Faustina on May 23, 1937, with these words: “Beloved pearl of My Heart.” What bothers me about this is that it is pure saccharin. Look how Our Lady speaks to Sr. Lucia or to St. Bernadette. It is not as “beloved pearl of My Heart.” It is impossible to imagine Our Lord stooping to saccharin language. Our Lord is Christ the King, Creator of the universe, and ruler of all that is. He does not say things like “beloved pearl of My Heart.” Let me continue. Then, He said: “I see your love so pure; purer than that of the angels, and all the more so because you keep fighting. For your sake, I bless the world.” (ibid., p. 400) First of all, except for the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are not free from original sin and, therefore, we are not capable of a love purer than the angels. Nazi soldiers march on Warsaw Nazi soldiers invaded Poland after Sr. Faustina announced a blessed world - above, they are marching on Warsaw As for blessing the world, that might be fine. If we had one real saint in the world, then the Lord will give us blessings for that one real saint. This is not my objection. My objection is that this revelation was in 1937; the world was on the verge of World War II, which Sr. Lucy had already been forewarned of by Our Lady at Fatima: if Russia is not consecrated, and man does not convert, then this big disaster will befall mankind for their evil ways and their sins. At that moment, we were about to see that disaster descend from Heaven, yet Our Lord tells Sr. Faustina, “For your sake, I am going to bless the world.” Was World War II a blessing on the world? Since her native Poland did not go unscathed by the German invasion, it does not seem likely that He actually blessed the world. Another example: Sr. Faustina claimed that Our Lord told her that she was exempt from judgment, every judgment - particular judgment and the general judgment. On February 4, 1935, she already claimed to hear this voice in her soul, “From today on, do not fear God’s judgment, for you will not be judged.” (ibid., p. 168) Now, nobody but the Blessed Virgin, as far as I know, is free from the general and particular judgment. St. Thomas Aquinas, according to the pious story, had to genuflect in Purgatory before going to Heaven. I don’t know if this is fact, but it is a lesson for us that nobody is exempt from any kind of judgment. And add to these examples the preposterous affirmation that the Host jumped out of the Tabernacle three times and placed itself in her hands, so that she had to open up the Tabernacle and place it back herself: “And the host came out of the Tabernacle and came to rest in my hands and I, with joy, placed it back in the Tabernacle. This was repeated a second time, and I did the same thing. Despite this, it happened a third time.” (ibid., p. 23) It makes it sound like a hamster that has gotten out of its cage. “Oh, no, here it is again. I have to go put this back now.” How many times has the Church declared that the hands of a priest are consecrated to handle the Sacred Species, and what kind of lesson would you be giving to the world by this example of the Host leaping into her hands so that she had to place it back in the Tabernacle herself? Our Lord does not contradict His Church by word or by gesture. And this would be a little bit by both. She related what happened, but the gesture itself would be Our Lord contradicting the Real Presence and everything it represents.
Peter Cho A lack of Catholic spirit In short, the whole Divine Mercy devotion does not represent a Catholic spirit. The Catholic spirit is one of making constant reparation in penance for our sins, of praying for the graces of God, for the mercy of God in this life. Let me close by saying that it is the background of this devotion that is questionable. You do not just institute a particular devotion with its own feast day based on something that has been condemned for very good reasons in the recent past. When you look at the prayers of the Divine Mercy devotions, they are perfectly orthodox. There is nothing heretical or presumptuous in these prayers. But just remember the reason why it has been condemned and why we do not recognize Divine Mercy Sunday is because of its past, not because of the content of the prayers. It is very important to know this, because it is one of many things that were brought back in modern times that were condemned in the past. And this is not a case of the Church changing her mind. It is a case of a representative of the Church doing something he should not be doing
Peter Cho The book of Truth is the Holy Bible. The Catholic Church was established by Our Lord himself and is the only way of salvation. Tradition and sacred scripture is where the deposit of faith is contained. There have been a number of approved apparitions over the past two thousand years since Our Lord ascended into heaven. Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Akita being the most recent and both fall in line with the Traditional teachings of the Church. There have been many false apparitions which should be avoided or they could lead one away from the truth.
Why would I worship Yahweh the sumerian God of jealousy. I'm not sumerian or hebrew neither are any of you (from my understanding) Why should I not worship my own cultures gods?
@@JPX7NGD Yahweh is a pagan god from modern day Iraq came from the sumerians later adopted by the jews. The entire old testament is pagan Hebrew. Yahweh was the sumerian god of jealousy who was so jealous all other gods in the pantheon were banned. So people giving up ethnic gods and culture to adopt a non ethnic god being told there ancestors are demons is christianity. Europeans where forced to convert or die and even then the only way christianity could get more support was by appropriating pagan Hollidays yule, Easter, new years, Halloween, ect. So your ancestors gods in your blood are demons and you need to worship the middle eastern pagan god of jealousy sorry that just doesn't work.
@@tyvovo so you fell for the third rate lies of heretics (in this case freemasons) and dishonest historians (in this case, also freemasons)? you are either demonically attacked or you are full of so much shame over sin, you believe anything you hear.
@@JPX7NGD I just stated facts. I know more about Christianity then 95% of Christians. Freemasonry was a medieval created organization along major trade routes. They also define themselves as abrahamic believers on the uni-God Yahweh. And have worked closely with Catholics, and jews. Nothing to do with ancient European paganism but they were subverting it. They are just another example of abrahamic religions being subversive.
The divine mercy prayer is ridiculous powerful and effective. It's one of those prayers that can instantly calm someone and give them confidence in God
In the Philippines, every 3 o’clock, the hour of Jesus’ death, they stop all televisions and radios to say the divine mercy prayer.
Yes! I remember that! I don’t think they do that anymore, sad to say. We go for vacation every few years and have not noticed TV stations doing it anymore
We still do it
@@vhynnnn i thought the goverment was muslim
TheMar1007 The Philippines is 80% Catholic.
That's why the Philippines is blessed.

Faustina means the 'fortunate one' or 'blessed one.' So, her religious name must mean something akin to 'Sr. Blessed Maria'?
Okay, Thats funny! 21:08

Fr. Rich often has books in front of him, and I always wonder what they are lol.
The Shroud is almost the same as the "Divine Mercy Jesus" because the painter used the Shroud as reference.
Um. Sorry John but the painter took directions from Faustyna, not the shroud. The painting was a representation of what St Faustina saw in her vision. The comparison to the shroud was after.
lol...where did you hear that??
Sorry but if my daughter wanted to become a nun even if I payed for college or whatever I support my child's heart.
First
This is the only apparition of the Lord that I don’t subscribe to. I prefer the Sacred Heart. (Explanation: Private revelations, locutions and apparitions after the death of the last Apostle, are not bound to be believed by the Faithful.)
You do realize that devotion to the Sacred Heart and Divine Mercy are one and the same thing right? How can you believe in one and not the other?
I agree with Adrian Spencer Elizalde, I don’t believe in the cult of Devine Mercy propagated by Sister Faustina. The devotion was condemned by the Church 3 times in the later part of the 1950’s only to be brought back by JP 2. The devotion fits perfectly with JP 2’s modernist views and teachings. There are many of her writings that contradict Church teaching and even state that she is more favored that Our Blessed Mother. Our Lord gave us his Most Sacred Heart with promises attached to the devotion. The devotion was given to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1674, a time when the Church was truly Catholic. The two devotions most needed in this time of crisis are the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Condemnations of this devotion
What is wrong with the Divine Mercy devotion?
First, when this devotion fell under the attention of Pius XII, he was concerned not with the prayers of the devotion, but with the circumstances of the so-called apparitions to Sr. Faustina and their content. That is, he was concerned with what Our Lord supposedly told Sr. Faustina and what he told her to make public.
Pius XII, then, placed this devotion, including the apparitions and the writings of Sr. Faustina on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Prohibited Books). That list no longer exists, since it was formally abolished on June 14, 1966, by Paul VI. On the one hand, it is unfortunate that it no longer exists. But, on the other hand, if that list were to exist today it would be so vast that it would fill this room. Practically everything that is written today has something objectionable to the Catholic Faith.
John Paul II endorses the divine Mercy devotion
JPII supported the thrice-condemned devotion
So, Pius XII put the writings of Sr. Faustina on the Index of Prohibited Books. That meant that he considered that their content would lead Catholics astray or in the wrong direction.
Next, came other prohibitions made by Pope John XXIII. Twice in his pontificate, the Holy Office issued condemnations of the Divine Mercy writings.
Today the Holy Office is called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But before it was called the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Its name has changed over several years.
This Office - placed under the direct control of the Pope - is responsible for maintaining the purity of the doctrine and, therefore, it watches over the dissemination of different documents in the Church.
If the Pope wants to correct the faithful on a particular topic, he usually does this through the Holy Office. So, the proclamations, declarations and documents issued by the Holy Office may be seen as coming from the Pope himself.
Not once, but twice under Pope John XXIII, this particular devotion was condemned through the Holy Office. The first condemnation was in a plenary meeting held on November 19, 1958. The declaration from the Holy Office issued these three statements about this devotion:
1. There is no evidence of the supernatural origin of these revelations. This means that the members of the Holy Office examined the content and decided that there was nothing there to indicate the apparitions were supernatural. In an authentic apparition - Our Lady of Lourdes or Our Lady of Fatima, for example - you can look at the content and affirm it can not be definitively said they are of divine origin, but there is enough evidence to say that it is possibly so. On the other hand, in the Divine Mercy apparitions, they said definitively that there is no evidence whatsoever that they are supernatural. This translates, “We do not think that these apparitions come from God.”
2. No feast of Divine Mercy should be instituted. Why? Because if it is based on apparitions that are not clearly coming from God, then it would be rash and temerarious to institute a feast in the Church based on something that is a false apparition.
3. It is forbidden to disseminate writings propagating this devotion under the form received by Sr. Faustina, as well as the image typical of it. So, it was forbidden to even publish the image of Our Lord as Divine Mercy.
Now, you have all seen this image, even if in passing, and you would know and recognize it. It shows a strange picture of Jesus that makes me uneasy. I cannot really tell you why. I do not like it. I don't like the face, I don't like the gesture, I don't like the posture, I don't like anything. This was my first impression of this image. I don't want it around because it is, for lack of a better term, creepy to me when I look at it.
The image shows multicolored rays, I think they are red, white and blue, coming from His chest region - no heart, just these rays. You have all seen this. Well, that was the image that was forbidden to be published or spread.
On March 6, 1959, the Holy Office issued a second decree on the order of Pope John XXIII. It forbade, once again, spreading the images of Divine Mercy and the writings of Sr. Faustina propagating this devotion. It also stated that it was up to the bishops to decide how they were going to remove the images that had already been displayed for public honor.
I do not need to say much more about these declarations. Two Popes strongly warned the faithful of a danger in this devotion. Pius XII put it on the Index; John XXIII issued two condemnations through the Holy Office about the spiritual danger this devotion presented to the faithful. Not much more needs to be said on that.

Principal error: It presents an unconditional mercy
Let me present you with a parallel thought.
Our Lord with a halo displaying His Sacred Heart
Above, a majestic Jesus with the halo of divinity and a well-defined Sacred Heart gives a clear blessing; below, a worker-like Jesus without the proper halo or a heart makes a gesture more like a "hello" than a blessing
A halo-less Jesus with no heart gives off the rays of the divine mercy devotion Consider the true image of Christ Our Savior. Probably the most symbolically rich and accurate representation of Him, besides the Crucifix, is the image of the Sacred Heart, because the image of Our Lord with the Sacred Heart summarizes the whole theology of Redemption.
They pierced His Hands, His Feet and His Sacred Heart; the crown of thorns encircles the Heart, which burns with love for man. This was the price He paid, the sacrifice He made for our redemption. He offered Himself because of His burning love for us despite the fact we are ungrateful creatures who rebelled against our Creator. Think about it. He created us and then we nailed Him to a cross even though He was God and completely innocent of any guilt. So, the Sacred Heart encapsulates all this.
In the images of the Sacred Heart, He points to this symbolic font of love and mercy for us. The devotions to the Sacred Heart always suppose reparation for our sins. We are sinners, we must make reparation. Despite the promises from Our Lord and the fact that He paid an infinite price for our Redemption, we must make reparation. We should always do penance for our sins and make various kinds of reparation.
Now, consider the image of Our Lord representing the Divine Mercy. It is an imitation of the Sacred Heart without the heart. When you pay attention, you notice that in the image there is no heart. There are simply rays coming out of a point above His waist. This symbolizes the error of the Divine Mercy devotion. It preaches that we can expect an unconditional mercy with no price to be paid whatsoever, with no obligations whatsoever. This is not the message of Christ.
Christ is merciful. Time and time again, His mercy pardons our repeated sins in the Sacrament of Penance, always taking us back no matter how bad our sins are. And what happens in the Sacrament of Penance? The very name of the Sacrament tells us exactly what happens: to be effective the Sacrament supposes penance. Not only are you there at the Sacrament recognizing your full submission to the Church and your dependence on the Sacraments for forgiveness, but you walk out of the confessional with an imposed penance.
You are also often reminded from this pulpit that you must not only fulfill that penance, but you must continually do penance, your own penance. You don't just say a decade of the Rosary and say, “Well, I've done my penance. Now, I can go merrily on my way.” You must always have the spirit of penance for your past sins; you must live with it.
The central error of the Divine Mercy is that it promises lots of spiritual rewards with no requirement of penance, no mention of reparation, no mention of any condition.
Unfortunately, this corresponds very much with what Pope John Paul II wrote in the Encyclical Dives in misericordia. I do not recommend reading it to any of you, except the most prepared, because it has many misleading things. It re-echoes this mercy with no price, gifts from heaven with no requirements, God's mercy with no mention of penance or reparation for sin whatsoever.
Anticipating that encyclical Pope John Paul II already in 1978, the very first year of his pontificate, set in motion the canonization of Sr. Faustina and the institution of a Divine Mercy Sunday feast. As I said before, both Sr. Faustina’s writings and the very idea of having a Divine Mercy feast day had been prohibited and condemned by two previous Popes.
Presumption in Sr. Faustina’s writings
The writings of the Polish Sr. Faustina herself, published in English in 2007, pose cause for concern. The work has 640 pages and transcribes frequent supposed apparitions and messages from Our Lord.
Faustina, John Paul II, and the divine Mercy devotion
A new "save-yourself-without-effort" devotion
This long thread of statements supposedly from Our Lord to Sr. Faustina has some things that would make a correct-thinking Catholic very uneasy, to say the least. I will exemplify by taking a few quotes from her writings.
On October 2, 1936, she states that the “Lord Jesus” appeared to her and said, “Now, I know that it is not for the graces or gifts that you love Me, but because My Will is dearer to you than life. That is why I am uniting Myself with you so intimately as with no other creature.” (Divine Mercy in My Soul, The Diary of Sr. Faustina, Stockbridge, MA: Marian Press, 1987, p. 288)
How can we believe that Our Lord has united Himself more intimately with Sr. Faustina than with the Blessed Virgin Mary? At first, we might read this and think, “Oh, that's beautiful.“ But later it may hit you, “Wait a minute, Our Lord united Himself more intimately with Sr. Faustina than with any other creature? Our Lady was the Immaculate Conception, but she was also His creature, she was created by Him as the rest of us were, albeit with the greatest exalted position free from original sin from the very beginning.”
And now are we expected to believe that Our Lord told Sr. Faustina that He is more united to her than anybody else, even the Blessed Virgin Mary, and certainly more than all the other Saints? This affirmation smacks of pride in itself, let alone the assertion that it came from Heaven.
This type of presumption is present in many other cases.
Our Lord supposedly addressed Sr. Faustina on May 23, 1937, with these words: “Beloved pearl of My Heart.” What bothers me about this is that it is pure saccharin. Look how Our Lady speaks to Sr. Lucia or to St. Bernadette. It is not as “beloved pearl of My Heart.” It is impossible to imagine Our Lord stooping to saccharin language. Our Lord is Christ the King, Creator of the universe, and ruler of all that is. He does not say things like “beloved pearl of My Heart.”
Let me continue. Then, He said: “I see your love so pure; purer than that of the angels, and all the more so because you keep fighting. For your sake, I bless the world.” (ibid., p. 400) First of all, except for the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are not free from original sin and, therefore, we are not capable of a love purer than the angels.
Nazi soldiers march on Warsaw
Nazi soldiers invaded Poland after Sr. Faustina announced a blessed world - above, they are marching on Warsaw
As for blessing the world, that might be fine. If we had one real saint in the world, then the Lord will give us blessings for that one real saint. This is not my objection.
My objection is that this revelation was in 1937; the world was on the verge of World War II, which Sr. Lucy had already been forewarned of by Our Lady at Fatima: if Russia is not consecrated, and man does not convert, then this big disaster will befall mankind for their evil ways and their sins.
At that moment, we were about to see that disaster descend from Heaven, yet Our Lord tells Sr. Faustina, “For your sake, I am going to bless the world.” Was World War II a blessing on the world? Since her native Poland did not go unscathed by the German invasion, it does not seem likely that He actually blessed the world.
Another example: Sr. Faustina claimed that Our Lord told her that she was exempt from judgment, every judgment - particular judgment and the general judgment. On February 4, 1935, she already claimed to hear this voice in her soul, “From today on, do not fear God’s judgment, for you will not be judged.” (ibid., p. 168)
Now, nobody but the Blessed Virgin, as far as I know, is free from the general and particular judgment. St. Thomas Aquinas, according to the pious story, had to genuflect in Purgatory before going to Heaven. I don’t know if this is fact, but it is a lesson for us that nobody is exempt from any kind of judgment.
And add to these examples the preposterous affirmation that the Host jumped out of the Tabernacle three times and placed itself in her hands, so that she had to open up the Tabernacle and place it back herself: “And the host came out of the Tabernacle and came to rest in my hands and I, with joy, placed it back in the Tabernacle. This was repeated a second time, and I did the same thing. Despite this, it happened a third time.” (ibid., p. 23) It makes it sound like a hamster that has gotten out of its cage. “Oh, no, here it is again. I have to go put this back now.”
How many times has the Church declared that the hands of a priest are consecrated to handle the Sacred Species, and what kind of lesson would you be giving to the world by this example of the Host leaping into her hands so that she had to place it back in the Tabernacle herself?
Our Lord does not contradict His Church by word or by gesture. And this would be a little bit by both. She related what happened, but the gesture itself would be Our Lord contradicting the Real Presence and everything it represents.
Peter Cho
A lack of Catholic spirit
In short, the whole Divine Mercy devotion does not represent a Catholic spirit. The Catholic spirit is one of making constant reparation in penance for our sins, of praying for the graces of God, for the mercy of God in this life.
Let me close by saying that it is the background of this devotion that is questionable. You do not just institute a particular devotion with its own feast day based on something that has been condemned for very good reasons in the recent past.
When you look at the prayers of the Divine Mercy devotions, they are perfectly orthodox. There is nothing heretical or presumptuous in these prayers. But just remember the reason why it has been condemned and why we do not recognize Divine Mercy Sunday is because of its past, not because of the content of the prayers.
It is very important to know this, because it is one of many things that were brought back in modern times that were condemned in the past. And this is not a case of the Church changing her mind. It is a case of a representative of the Church doing something he should not be doing
Peter Cho
The book of Truth is the Holy Bible. The Catholic Church was established by Our Lord himself and is the only way of salvation. Tradition and sacred scripture is where the deposit of faith is contained. There have been a number of approved apparitions over the past two thousand years since Our Lord ascended into heaven. Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Akita being the most recent and both fall in line with the Traditional teachings of the Church. There have been many false apparitions which should be avoided or they could lead one away from the truth.
Why would I worship Yahweh the sumerian God of jealousy. I'm not sumerian or hebrew neither are any of you (from my understanding) Why should I not worship my own cultures gods?
Which is your culture?
pagan "gods" are all demons. Worship God instead.
@@JPX7NGD Yahweh is a pagan god from modern day Iraq came from the sumerians later adopted by the jews. The entire old testament is pagan Hebrew. Yahweh was the sumerian god of jealousy who was so jealous all other gods in the pantheon were banned. So people giving up ethnic gods and culture to adopt a non ethnic god being told there ancestors are demons is christianity. Europeans where forced to convert or die and even then the only way christianity could get more support was by appropriating pagan Hollidays yule, Easter, new years, Halloween, ect. So your ancestors gods in your blood are demons and you need to worship the middle eastern pagan god of jealousy sorry that just doesn't work.
@@tyvovo so you fell for the third rate lies of heretics (in this case freemasons) and dishonest historians (in this case, also freemasons)? you are either demonically attacked or you are full of so much shame over sin, you believe anything you hear.
@@JPX7NGD I just stated facts. I know more about Christianity then 95% of Christians. Freemasonry was a medieval created organization along major trade routes. They also define themselves as abrahamic believers on the uni-God Yahweh. And have worked closely with Catholics, and jews. Nothing to do with ancient European paganism but they were subverting it. They are just another example of abrahamic religions being subversive.
WHY do you have the BLASPHEMY of bobble-heads, most especially so of Our LORD Jesus Christ !!! ???
Grow up
False visions of Faustina'. And ye know it..
