TIA Videos, Ratzinger’s Suit & Consecration
Monumental Gift
I just finished watching the trailer for the 2nd video, and cannot shake the profound sense of wonder at how it is I could have been given the monumental gift of a connection with you and TIA. Those videos bring me near tears and I become choked up.
This, at a time when almost all of my siblings have made it very clear they wish to have nothing more to do with me. They pretend to care but their hearts are stone cold and have no interest in what I have learned about the battle going on in our Holy Mother, our Church.
I sometimes battle against a strong sense of loss over the relationships I once had with them and several others of my blood family, but my husband reminded me this morning that they are of the devil and have no interest in genuinely coming to the call of Jesus & Mary. How can they not see? How can they not notice? Yet nothing but silence from them for many months. I cannot be sad about the loss of my relationships with them any longer. They have walked away and I must go along a different course – a course of life or death, the only battle worth fighting. I only hope my efforts will bear good fruit in this battle that will soon come to an end.
Thank you for all you are doing to help lead the battle against the evil in our beloved Church. May you continue to gather those who wish to fight this battle with you, for Holy Mother, the Church, those who will never turn back; those who know what is at stake.
With continued prayers for all who love TIA and all that is good. Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered and those who hate Him flee before His face! Continue to do the work you do so well – serve our Blessed Mother and her beloved Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ!!
E.S., Ph.D.

Keep a Ratzinger ‘Holy Card’ with You
A friend sent me the photo below of Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in a suit while travelling in a cableway.
I am suggesting all the traditionalists and conservatives who love Benedict XVI to make a holy card of this picture for them to venerate it every time they think he is a great man. Whenever they say the solution for Francis' mess is to return to the “great” Benedict XVI, they should take their holy card from the pocket and kiss it.
Doing so, they would reveal consistency, because Benedict was always a progressivist. The naïve ones who believe he is a great conservative are just promoting Progressivism. If they want to be consistent let them show that they love what Ratzinger really represents.
Keep up the good work.

Did Pius XII Consecrate Russia or Not?
Mr. Homer Sweeney's article on Our Lady of Fatima's request in 1917 brought up some good points but left a few out. Our Lady asked that Communions of reparation be made to her Immaculate Heart on five consecutive Saturdays, she called for penance to be done. The consecration of Russia was again mentioned and called for in 1929.
A book by Father John Murphy written in 1952, The Meaning of Devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart, said that a very important aspect of devotion to her Immaculate Heart was our personal consecration to her heart. He did not mention the 1929 request of the Pope in union with the bishops, because it was not common knowledge outside of the Vatican until 1967.
As the consecration of the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was the most important act he said he did during his Pontificate, so Pope Pius Xll consecration to Mary's Immaculate Heart during WWll was the most important up to 1952. Pope Pius Xll did consecrate Russia specifically a year later. For some of us that one was done late but done by the Pope as Our Lady said it would in 1917 during the July apparition.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us
S.M.

Mr. Sweeney responds:
Mr. S.M.,
Thank you for your interest and comments regarding Our Lady of Fatima.
In 1917 Our Lady told the seers that she would come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart. The request came to consecrate Russia on Thursday June 13, 1929, when the Blessed Virgin told Sister Lucy,"that the moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the bishops of the world, to make the consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means."
When Pius XII consecrated Russia in 1952, he did not include the bishops of the world as requested by Our Lady. This was verified by Sister Lucy when she told Fr. Fuentes in 1957 "Father, the Blessed Virgin is very sad because no one has paid attention to her Message either good or bad."
Shortly after Pius XII consecrated Our Lady to the world, the fortunes turned on the battlefield in favor of the allies.
To my knowledge the Vatican has never acknowledged 1929.
The First Five Saturdays are part of the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary which Our Lady promises the graces for salvation. Our Lady came to save our souls and told us to say the Rosary daily and make the devotions to her Immaculate Heart.

I give this donation in honor of the glorious St. Michael the archangel, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ. St. Michael, fortress of the Church Militant and bulwark of orthodox believers, pray for us.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. May they give much honor and glory to God and be a strong weapon to fight the devil's deceits in these horrible days.
It is so wonderful to be able to hear and to see you.
