This blog site is devoted to the defence of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, by exposing the false and invalid Second Vatican Council as a non-Catholic heretical Council. We have zeroed in on the one piece of arsenal which most of us have overlooked and failed to employ over these past 40 years since the Vatican II sect was installed in Rome. The one weapon that strikes more terror into the enemies of the Church is the Bulla of Pope Pius II, Execrabilis, which he issued on February 15th, 1460.

According
to the visions of St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) Our Blessed Mother
promises to grant seven graces to those who honor her and draw near to
her and her Son every day by meditating on her dolors (sorrows) and
entering into her grief.
1.“I will grant peace to their families.”
2. “They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries.”
3.“I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.”
4. “I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose
the adorable will of My divine Son or the sanctification of their
souls.”
5.
“I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy
and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.”
6. “I will visibly help them at the moment of their death. They will see the face of their Mother.”
7.
“I have obtained this grace from My divine Son, that those who
propagate this devotion to My tears and sorrows will be taken directly
from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be
forgiven and My Son will be their eternal consolation and joy.”

The Seven Sorrows
1. The Prophecy of Simeon
How great was the shock to Mary's Heart at hearing the
sorrowful words, in which holy Simeon told the bitter Passion and death
of her sweet Jesus, since in that same moment she realized in her mind
all the insults, blows, and torments which the impious men were to offer
to the Redeemer of the world. But a still sharper sword pierced her soul.
It was the thought of men's ingratitude to her beloved Son. Now consider
that because of your sins you are unhappily among the ungrateful.
2. The Flight into Egypt
Consider the sharp sorrow which Mary felt when, St.
Joseph being warned by an angel, she had to flee by night in order to preserve
her beloved Child from the slaughter decreed by Herod. What anguish was
hers, in leaving Judea, lest she should be overtaken by the soldiers of
the cruel king! How great her privations in that long journey! What sufferings
she bore in that land of exile, what sorrow amid that people given to idolatry!
But consider how often you have renewed that bitter grief of Mary, when
your sins have caused her Son to flee from your heart.
3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple
How dreadful was the grief of Mary, when she saw that she
had lost her beloved Son! And as if to increase her sorrow, when she sought
Him diligently among her kinsfolk and acquaintance, she could hear no tidings
of Him. She forthwith
returned to Jerusalem, and for three long days sought Him sorrowing. Great
be your confusion, O my soul, who has so often lost your Jesus by your
sins, and has given no heed to seek Him at once, a sign that you make very
little or no account of the precious treasure of divine love.
4. The Meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross
Mother, so tender and loving, meets her beloved Son,
meets Him amid an impious rabble, who drag Him to a cruel death, wounded,
torn by stripes, crowned with thorns, streaming with blood, bearing His
heavy cross. Ah, consider, my soul, the grief of the blessed Virgin thus
beholding her Son! Who would not weep at seeing this Mother's grief? But
who has been the cause of such woe? I, it is I, who with my sins have so
cruelly wounded the heart of my sorrowing Mother!
5. The Crucifixion and Jesus's Death on the Cross
Look to Calvary, whereon are raised
two altars of sacrifice, one on the body of Jesus, the other on the heart
of Mary. Sad is the sight of that dear Mother drowned in a sea of woe,
seeing her beloved Son, part of her very self, cruelly nailed to the shameful
tree of the cross. Ah me! how every blow of the hammer, how every stripe
which fell on the Saviour's form, fell also on the disconsolate spirit
of the Virgin.
6. The Taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross:
Consider the most bitter sorrow which rent the soul
of Mary, when she saw the dead body of her dear Jesus on her knees, covered
with blood, all torn with deep wounds. Who would not pity thee? Whose heart would
not be softened, seeing affliction which would move a stone? Behold John
not to be comforted, Magdalen and the other Mary in deep affliction, and
Nicodemus, who can scarcely bear his sorrow.
7. Jesus is Laid in the Tomb
Consider the sighs which burst from Mary's sad heart
when she saw her beloved Jesus laid within the tomb. What grief was hers
when she saw the stone lifted to cover that sacred tomb! She gazed a last
time on the lifeless body of her Son, and could scarce detach her eyes
from those gaping wounds. And when the great stone was rolled to the door
of the sepulcher, oh, then indeed her heart seemed torn from her body!

Saint Apollonia was a Christian martyr who suffered in Alexandria, Egypt, during the violent persecution of Christians in the year 249 AD, under Emperor Decius. She is especially venerated as the patron saint of dentists and those suffering from toothaches, owing to the nature of her martyrdom.
Life and Martyrdom
During a brutal uprising against Christians in Alexandria,
the pagan mobs captured many faithful and subjected them to cruel
torments. Among them was Apollonia, an elderly Christian virgin who had dedicated her life to God. The persecutors, filled with hatred for the Faith, shattered her teeth with stones and forcibly extracted others as a form of torment.
After enduring this torture, she was given a terrible choice: renounce Christ or be burned alive. Rather than betray her Lord, Saint Apollonia willingly leapt into the flames, embracing martyrdom with unshakable faith. Witnesses were astounded by her courage and devotion.
Saint Apollonia became one of the most invoked saints for those suffering from toothaches and dental ailments. In sacred art, she is often depicted:
Holding a golden tooth or a pair of pincers with a tooth in them, symbolizing her suffering.
The Amazing Story of the Hiroshima Eight who survived the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima because we were living the message of Fatima.We lived and prayed the Rosary daily in that home, said Father Schiffer who died on March 27, 1982 — 37 years after that eventful day.
Early
on August 6, 1945, a lone American B-29 Superfortress bomber circled in
a vividly blue sky over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The
unsuspecting inhabitants on the ground barely glanced at the plane. They
were unaware of the deadly payload it was about to unleash on them,
ushering in the atomic age with unimaginable death and destruction.
As one single bomb neared the ground, a city died in an instant.
Houses crumbled, people evaporated, an immense ball of fire shot
skywards, and a terrible wave of super-heated gas bulged out from ground
zero, flattening buildings for miles.
Amongst the unsuspecting inhabitants of Hiroshima was Fr. Schiffer, a
Jesuit missionary assisting the many Catholics of that city. On the
morning of August 6, 1945, he had just finished Mass and sat down at the
breakfast table.
As he plunged his spoon into a freshly sliced
grapefruit, there was a bright flash of light. His first thought was
that a fuel tanker had exploded in the harbor, as Hiroshima was a major
port where the Japanese refueled their submarines.
Then, in the words of
Fr. Schiffer: “Suddenly, a terrible explosion filled the air with one
bursting thunder stroke. An invisible force lifted me from the chair,
hurled me through the air, shook me, battered me, whirled me round and
round like a leaf in a gust of autumn wind.”
Next thing he remembered
was that he opened his eyes and found himself on the ground. He looked
around, and saw there was nothing left in any direction: the railroad
station and buildings in all directions were gone. Yet, the only harm to
him was a few slight cuts in the back of his neck form shards of grass.
As far as he could tell, there was nothing else physically wrong with
him.
The
small community of Jesuits to whichFr. Schiffer belonged lived in a
house near the parish church, situated only eight blocks from the center
of the blast.
When Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bomb, all
eight members of the small Jesuit community escaped unscathed, while
every other person within a radius of one-and-a-half kilometers from
ground zero died immediately. The house where the Jesuits lived was
still standing, while buildings in every direction from it were leveled.
Father Hubert Schiffer was 30 years old when the atomic bomb exploded
right over his head at Hiroshima. He not only survived, but also lived a
healthy life for another 33 years!
How did this group of men survive a nuclear blast that killed
everyone else, even people over ten times further away from the blast?
It is absolutely unexplainable by scientific means. An interesting
detail is that this group of Catholic clergy was made up of ardent
enthusiasts of the Message of Fatima. They lived the Message. Was their
fidelity to Our Lady rewarded by this stupendous miracle of their
survival?
Even more astonishing is that the story was to be repeated a few days
later at Nagasaki, the second Japanese city to be hit by an atomic
bomb. In both Hiroshima and Nagasaki the survivors were Catholic
religious.
Most other buildings were leveled to the ground, even at 3
times the distance, but in both cases their houses stood – even with
some windows intact! All other people, bar a handful of scattered
mutilated survivors, even at thrice the distance from the explosion,
died instantly. Those within a radius ten times the distance of the
Jesuits from the explosion were exposed to fierce radiation and died
within days.
After the American conquest of Japan, U.S. army doctors explained to
Fr. Schiffer that his body would soon begin to deteriorate because of
the radiation. To the doctors’ amazement, Fr. Schiffer’s body showed no
radiation or ill effects from the bomb. All who were at this range from
the epicenter should have received enough radiation to be dead within a
matter of minutes. Scientists examined the group of Hiroshima Jesuits
over 200 times during the next 30 years and no ill effects were ever
found.
“We
believe that we survived because we were living the message of Fatima.
We lived and prayed the Rosary daily
in that house.” Fr. Schiffer feels that he received a protective shield
from the Blessed Virgin, which protected him from all radiation and ill
effects.
Fr. Schiffer attributes this to his devotion to Our Lady, and
his daily Fatima Rosary: “In that house the Holy Rosary was recited
together every day.” Secular scientists are dumbfounded and incredulous
at his explanation. They are sure there is some ‘real’ explanation.
However, over 60 years later the scientists still have not been able to
explain it.

The Infant of Prague is a 16th-century wax-coated wooden statue of the
Child Jesus, believed to have originated in Spain and brought to Prague
by a princess. It was donated to the Carmelite friars in 1628, and over
the years, it has become a symbol of devotion, with many claiming
miraculous blessings through its intercession
Prayer to the Infant of Prague
O merciful Infant Jesus! I know of Thy miraculous deeds for the sick ... In view of the innumerable graces and cures granted ... through the veneration of Thy Holy Infancy ... particularly in the statue of Prague ... I exclaim with the greatest assurance: O most loving Infant Jesus, Thou canst cure me is Thou wilt! Extend Thy holy hand and by Thy power take away all pain and infirmity.
