The devil may be in the details, but the Details of God are from the Mother of God.

The end draws near, my Soul, the end draws near! Yet you do not care or prepare yourself. Time grows short; rise up, the Judge is close to the gates. The time of our life passes swiftly as a dream, as a flower. Why do we trouble ourselves in vain?

This post will show that the Roman Catholic Dogma of the Immaculate Conception was actually articulated by our Lord Himself and scripture. The proof presented here is not complete. There are other proofs, some perhaps yet to be sifted out. Scripture breathes across time. And the title of the Immaculate Conception articulated by the Roman Church in the 19th Century is quite appropriate an answer for the propagation of errors that has plagued societies in the terrains of the Roman Catholic Church since the great schism. The See of Peter had to respond. In fact it was the Mother of God herself who announced the title to Bernadette Soubirou in 1858 in France. Also the eastern titles such as All-Pure and Holy of Holies were common and understood by all before the schism as appropriate for her who is Mother of the Holy Eucharist that fed the baptized.
The story of Adam and Eve is not an option to believe or not by a Christian. The point of the story is that sin was introduced into the world from the choices they made. So before Adam and Eve: no sin and no death. After: sin and death. It is at this moment in time that God revealed her who would crush the head of Satan, the author of sin (Genesis 3:15). The woman who would do this did not receive a name and was not born in the flesh yet but was conceived by God in anticipation of the fall of man from sin. She was conceived by God without sin.
Amazingly our Lord continues with not giving her a name who we know to be Mary His mother (Matthew 1:16). See for example John 2:4 and 19:26. To directly remind us of her who was conceived before the fall of man, before sin was introduced into the world. Conceived without sin. And when specifically asked who His mother was, our Lord is even more explicit:
Luke 11:27-28. As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Luke 8:19-21. Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”
Mark 3:31-34. Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
Matthew 12:46-50. While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Reminding us that she is perfect and without sin. The Immaculate Conception. Sorry Evangelicals. Repent and believe the Gospel.

The truth about the COVID saga that was briefly addressed in this blog has/is being addressed by many now more informed than me. In the interim, I like many have accumulated information on remedies for the post vaccination/COVID/shedding world. I present an incomplete but potentially sufficient list of practical remedies that one can take, many of which can be incorporated into one’s diet. This is presented below and can be downloaded. The vaccine industry’s days are numbered.
The sinister enterprise that was/is the DoD COVID operation is however only timidly documented. Just like the demonic elements that destroyed WTC Building 7 after the unnatural destruction of the twin towers was for hiding evidence, so was the USAF destruction of the Ukrainian bioweapon labs. The first to cover a false flag against New Yorkers and the native population of the middle east; the second to cover a false flag against humanity’s very DNA. The preference is to blame Wuhan and China in keeping with the sequencing of wars. These demonic forces with unnatural, utilitarian, and inhuman financial orders are working on getting to the point where they can say “We have Iran!” like when they announced “We have Poland!” in the 1990’s. Using the cover of “negotiations”, “ceasefires”, and “deals”.
Here is the list. It is especially useful for symptoms that are blood clot related. Many of these protect from the cancers that come from the shot and cancers in general. As stated, some can be used in cooking. In no particular order and with no monopoly over other lists.

“O my God, if only I could indeed importune Thee! If only I had served Thee well so that I might be able to beg of Thee this great favor as a reward for my services, for Thou leavest no service unrewarded! But I have not served Thee, Lord; indeed it may perhaps be for my sins, and because I have so greatly offended Thee, that so many evils come. What then can I do, my Creator, but present to Thee this most Holy Bread, which, though Thou gavest to us, I return to Thee, beseeching Thee, by the merits of Thy Son, to grant me this favor, calm this sea, and no longer allow this ship, which is Thy Church, to endure so great a tempest, Save us, my Lord, for we perish.”

An extract from the intervention of His Beatitude to the Vatican Council on November 18, 1963, criticizing the text for Christian Unity in the chapter “On Ecumenism.”
[The Greek Melkite Church at the Council, Eparchy of Newton, Sophia Press, 2014. p 336]
Ecumenism is an effort for the gathering together of the whole Christian family, that is to say, the consolidation of all those who have been baptized in Christ. It is thus a strictly intimate family affair. Non-Christian are thus not involved. One cannot see what the Jews are going to do in Christian ecumenism, and why they have been introduced to it.
…the Eastern patriarchs have particularly insisted on the undesirability of a special mention of the Jews… The consequences of such an interpretation would be serious for the Christian minority in the said [middle eastern] countries.
In other words, inviting those who trivialize or deny the fundamental work of Christ into ecumenical consideration, will obliterate Christianity.

Feast day fo Saint Papias
Sat Feb 22nd
“Whenever anyone came my way, who had been a follower of my seniors, I would ask for the accounts of our seniors: What did Andrew or Peter say? Or Phillip or Thomas or James or John, or Matthew, or any of the Lord’s disciples? I also asked: What did Aristion and John the Presbyter, disciples of the Lord say? For, as I see it, it is not so much from books as from the living and permanent voice that I must draw profit.”
Saint Papias, quote from Eusebius of Caesarea, Ecclesiastical History, Book 3, Chapter 39

Holy Fathers Athanasios and Cyril
Sat Jan 18th
Troparion of Saints Athanasios and Cyril
You became illustrious by your defense of the True Faith. You abolished all doctrinal error and stood victorious in your fight. By your devotion, you brought wealth and glory to the Church. Therefore you were judged worthy to find Christ God who grants us His great Mercy.
A reminder that Christianity existed before Bible only christian philosophies. Before the printing press. Before widespread literacy of the 20th Century.
“May the life of Mary, who gave birth to God, be for all of you as instructive as if it were written down. Come to know yourselves in her and carry out the good works that you have neglected in the past.”
Saint Athanasios of Alexandria (3rd Century)

A prophecy from the last book of the old order, on the prophet’s feast day:
Malachy 1:10 I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord Omnipotent, and I will not accept sacrifice at your hands. For from the rising of the sun, unto the going down, My name is glorified among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure sacrifice; for great is My name among the Gentiles, said the Lord Omnipotent.”
A reminder to all that the books of the Old and New Testament were chosen based on their use in the Divine Liturgy in the 3-4th Century. For those that are “Bible only” philosophers, therein lies your only link to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Later, certain books were dropped to meet the philosophical “needs” of neo-christians. And if you are Jewish, consider how you are supposed to celebrate Hanukkah, but the book wherein the story comes from, the Book of Macabbies, was dropped by Jews and neo-christians centuries ago. Only Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Bibles tell the story of the Jewish Hanukkah.

On the Feast day of the Holy Innocents, we can invoke this prayer for the aborted. And in our time, those innocent that die in war, especially in the genocide of Gaza.
Prayer for an Aborted Child
Most Merciful Lord, the Giver of Life; we entreat You, look with compassion and tender mercy upon Your children who have been condemned to death by abortion and genocide. You, who said, “Suffer the little children to come to me and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” do now we humbly pray, grant the inheritance of Your Kingdom to the multitude of innocents who have perished in their mother’s wombs by the unjust judgement of men. We beseech you to soften the hearts of people who seek to destroy Your little ones. Pour out upon them Your Divine grace that they may be convicted in their hearts and turn from their evil ways to embrace the True Faith. Upon those that have committed this cruelty: render not unto them according to their deeds, but rather have mercy on them. Pierce their hearts with compunction and make their eyes stream with tears of repentance, joining their weeping with that of Rachel and her beloved children. For You are a merciful God, the Giver of Life and the Lover of Mankind, and to You we render glory, with Your eternal Father and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever.
Amen
