WHAT HAPPENED DURING SATURDAY'S TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS AT SAINT JOSEPH'S
"Be who you are and be that well." ~ Saint Francis of Sales
Thanks be to God for this quiet Saturday morning, and for the small, quiet, hidden, humble, and peaceful Roman Catholic Church that offers the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass every morning.
Thanks be to God for now being strong and well enough to be able to get there.
"Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed." ~ Saint Francis of Sales
The Prayers of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus were offered as usual before the Holy Sacrifice started.
THE WORK OF REPARATION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS AND THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS
"While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things." ~ Saint Francis of Sales
All of a sudden, shortly after the Holy Sacrifice quietly began, the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus paired with the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin was manifested there in church on Mount Calvary at Christ's High Altar in the following manner.
There was a big pit before Christ crucified on the Cross; many souls were in it and more were adding themselves to it by sinning.
Their sin was manifested as dirt that was burying them alive in the pit, and the more they continued sinning without truly repenting, the more buried they became through the misdirected use of their free will.
Eventually, their compounding sins buried them like dirt and so they were unable to get themselves out of the pit.
Your reparation was then manifested as doing the work of a shovel, and this shovel was helping to dig these people out of the pit.
Then all around the pit, shovels were visible in the supernatural there in the natural.
They are tools for all those who are willing to make reparation as Almighty God wills for each one, in imitation of and in union with Christ, and such people help dig out those who have buried themselves in the great pit and as a result, cannot get themselves out.
Works of reparation make atonement for the destructiveness of sin.
"Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue." ~ Saint Francis of Sales
Despite being helped by those making reparation for them, not everyone who was dug out wanted to get out of that pit.
Guess where it leads to forever, that big hole.
WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE CONSECRATION
All was offered to Almighty God as He willed it, in imitation of and in union with Jesus, for one more day since the same took place the morning before and the morning before that, and what He willed for mankind through His will came to us through the Real Presence of Jesus during the consecrations of both Sacred Species.
At the time of the raising of the chalice containing the Precious Blood of Jesus, which was manifested as full of what God willed at this time in human history there at St. Joseph's, it was shown that this chalice was poured in the supernatural there in the natural into that hole manifested before.
Then, it was shown that each of us has such a chalice in union with Christ that is a metaphor for each one's God-given mission or holy apostolate, and what goes into it was poured by our Angels into the hole to help people also.
Show us Your strength and Your will, O Lord.
