From the Shrine of St. Michael the Archangel in Italy. A very rare event!
The Sword of St. Michael was brought out to bless the world which has not happened since 1656 during the plague.
A powerful moment of grace with the Eucharistic Benediction of the City and the World and the Sword of St. Michael.
The Sword of St. Michael was brought out to bless the world which has not happened since 1656 during the plague.
A powerful moment of grace with the Eucharistic Benediction of the City and the World and the Sword of St. Michael.

Novena - Oremus It is a post from an SSPX Catholic. Sorry, it looks after the search that this is an old one - 6 April 2020 /covid/. Here is a Google Translate from an Italian news, 'Diventa Reporter' - "On April 6, the sword of Saint Michael the Archangel was carried in procession in Monte Sant'Angelo. An important event, since the sword only leaves the Basilica on St. Michael's Day, September 29th, during the procession in honor of the Saint. The sword came out of the Basilica of San Michele, for an intercession procession, even as far back as 1656 on the occasion of the plague.
Following that procession, the plague epidemic ceased and a monument to San Michele was erected as a sign of gratitude. The column with the statue of San Michele Arcangelo was commissioned by Archbishop Alfonso Puccinelli." Once again, sorry. Where? - "The Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel (Italian: Santuario di San Michele Arcangelo) is a Roman Catholic shrine on Mount Gargano, Italy, part of the commune …More

"AT THE AGE OF ONE YEAR THE INFANT JESUS SPEAKS TO SAINT JOSEPH AND REQUESTS HIS MOTHER TO CLOTH HIM AND ALLOW HIM TO WALK. HE COMMENCES TO CELEBRATE THE DAY OF HIS INCARNATION AND OF HIS BIRTH.
681. During one of the conversations of Mary with Joseph concerning the mysteries of the Lord, the Infant Jesus, having reached the age of one year, resolved to break the silence and speak in plain words to Joseph, who so faithfully fulfilled the duties of a foster-father. As I have already mentioned in chapter the tenth, He had thus conversed with his heavenly Mother from the time of his Birth. The two holy Spouses were speaking of the infinite being of God, of his goodness and excessive love, which induced Him to send his Onlybegotten Son as the Teacher and Savior of men, clothing Him in human form in order that He might converse with them and suffer the punishments of their depraved natures. Saint Joseph was lost in wonder at the works of the Lord and inflamed by affectionate gratitude and …More

"137. Therefore this great Lady considered and inspected profoundly this spacious field of the dignity of Mother of God (Prov, 21, 11) in order to purchase it by her fiat; She clothed Herself in fortitude more than human, and She tasted and saw how profitable was this enterprise and commerce with the Divinity. She comprehended the ways of his hidden benevolence and adorned Herself with fortitude and beauty. And having conferred with Herself and with the heavenly messenger Gabriel about the grandeur of these high and divine sacraments, and finding Herself in excellent condition to receive the message sent to Her, her purest soul was absorbed and elevated in admiration, reverence and highest intensity of divine love. By the intensity of these movements and supernal affections, her most pure heart, as it were by natural consequence, was contracted and compressed with such force, that it distilled three drops of her most pure blood, and these, finding their way to the natural place for the …More

"113. The supernal prince Gabriel, obeying with singular delight the divine command and accompanied by many thousands of most beautiful angels in visible forms, descended from the highest heaven. The appearance of the great prince and legate was that of a most handsome youth of rarest beauty; his face emitted resplendent rays of light, his bearing was grave and majestic, his advance measured, his motions composed, his words weighty and powerful, his whole presence displayed a pleasing, kindly gravity and more of godlike qualities than all the other angels until then seen in visible form by the heavenly Mistress. He wore a diadem of exquisite splendor and his vestments glowed in various colors full of refulgent beauty. Enchased on his breast, he bore a most beautiful cross, disclosing the mystery of the Incarnation, which He had come to announce. All these circumstances were calculated to rivet the affectionate attention of the most prudent Queen.

"The Blessed Virgin put up this little table in the middle of the room, between her sleeping place and the door, rather to the left, in a place where the floor was covered by a carpet. Then she put in front of it a little round cushion and knelt down with both hands resting on the table. The door of the room was facing her on the right, and she had her back to her sleeping place.
Mary let the veil fall over her face and crossed her hands (but, not her fingers) before her breast. I saw her fervently praying thus for a long time, with her face raised to heaven. She was imploring God for redemption, for the promised King, and beseeching Him that her prayer might have some share in sending Him. She knelt long in an ecstasy of prayer; then she bowed her head onto her breast.
But now at her right hand there poured down such a mass of light in a slanting line from the ceiling of the room that I felt myself pressed back by it against the wall near the door. [See Figure 10.] I saw in this light …More

'Your neck is nobly erect and beautifully held high, because the righteousness of your whole soul is directed to me and sways with my will, since it was never inclined to any sin of pride. Just as the neck inclines with the head, so too your every intention and act bends to my will. Your breast was so full of every virtuous charm that there is no good in me that is not in you as well, for you drew every good thing to yourself by the sweetness of your character, at the moment when it both pleased my divinity to enter into you and my humanity to live with you and drink the milk from your nipples. Your arms were beautiful through true obedience and endurance of toil. Your bodily hands touched my humanity, and I rested in your arms with my divinity.
Your womb was as pure as ivory and was like a space made out of gems of virtue, for your constancy of conscience and faith never grew lukewarm and could not be damaged by tribulation. The walls of your womb, that is, of your faith, were like …More

'The Son speaks: ”I am crowned king in my divinity without beginning and without end. A crown has neither beginning nor end; thus it is a symbol of my power, which had no beginning and will have no end. I had another crown, too, in my keeping: I myself, God, am that crown. It was prepared for the person who had the greatest love for me. And you, my most sweet Mother, won this crown and drew it to yourself through righteousness and love. The angels and other saints bear witness that your love for me was more ardent and your chastity more pure than that of any other, and that it was more pleasing to me than all else.
Your head was like gleaming gold and your hair like sunbeams, because your most pure virginity, which is like the head of all your virtues, as well as your control over every illicit desire pleased me and shone in my sight with all humility. You are rightly called the crowned queen over all creation - ”queen” for the sake of your purity, ”crowned” for your excellent worth. …More

Mystery of Annunciation and Most Holy Mary in the eyes of Her Divine Son Jesus ~ St. Bridget of Sweden

“Blessed be you, my most beloved Mother! My angel Gabriel said to you: “Blessed art thou, Mary, among women!” And I bear witness to you that you are blessed and most holy above all the choirs of angels. You are like a flower in a garden that is surrounded by other fragrant flowers, but surpasses them all in scent, beauty, and virtue. These flowers are all the chosen men from Adam to the end of the world which were planted in the garden of the world and shone and smelled in manifold virtues. But among all of those who were and who will afterward come, you were the greatest in the fragrance of humility and a good life, in the beauty of the most pleasing virginity, and in the virtue of abstinence. For I bear witness to you that you were more than any martyr at my suffering, more than any confessor in your abstinence, and more than any angel in your mercy and good will. Therefore, for your sake, I will enroot and fasten my words like the strongest pitch in the hearts of my friends. They …More

Adam’s Sin & Mystery of Redemption - St. Catherine of Siena ~ God the Eternal Father speaking.

'And as I have told you many times, I wanted to make it possible for you to reach this goal. Heaven had been closed because of Adam's sin. He did not know his own dignity, considering with what ineffable love and providence I had created him. So he fell into disobedience, and from disobedience into impurity, because of pride and his desire to please a woman. For he was so concerned about pleasing and bowing to his companion, even though he did not believe what she said, that he consented to disobey My command rather than offend her. And this disobedience has been and is the source of all the evils that have come after it. All of you have been infected with this venom. (Later I shall tell you how dangerous this disobedience is so as to recommend obedience to you.) So, to take away this death, dearest daughter, I gave humankind the Word, My only-begotten Son, thus providing for your need with great prudence and providence. I say "with prudence" because with the bait of your humanity and …More

'Open your mind's eye and look within Me, and you will see the dignity and beauty of My reasoning creature. But beyond the beauty I have given the soul by creating her in My image and likeness, look at those who are clothed in the wedding garment of charity, adorned with many true virtues: They are united with Me through love. So I say, if you should ask Me who they are, I would answer," said the gentle loving Word, "that they are another Me; for they have lost and drowned their own will and have clothed themselves and united themselves and conformed themselves with Mine.'
'There are as many different death- dealing fruits on these trees of death as there are sins. Some are food for beasts: These are people who live indecently, using their bodies and minds like pigs rolling in the mud, for that is how they roll about in the mud of lust. O brutish souls!

Fernandez and Co. thinks our dignity is infinite. Liar! If it were so there wouldn't be need for God to visit the shadows of the Earth and make satisfaction for our first failure. God the Father to St. Catherine: "That sin /original sin/ demanded infinite satisfaction. In order to make satisfaction to Me (because I am infinite), and for past, present, and future humanity, human nature, which had sinned and was finite had to be united with something infinite."

Humility is the soil in which the tree of love grows. God the Father to St. Catherine of Siena:

'Wherefore I reply that this is the way, if you will arrive at a perfect knowledge and enjoyment of Me, the Eternal Truth, that you should never go outside the knowledge of yourself, and, by humbling yourself in the valley of humility, you will know Me and yourself, from which knowledge you will draw all that is necessary.'
'After the soul has come to know herself she finds humility and hatred for her selfish sensual passion, recognizing the perverse law that is bound up in her members and is always fighting against the spirit.'
And one more from the Source of Life:
'Charity, it is true, has many offshoots, like a tree with many branches. But what gives life to both the tree and its branches is its root, so long as that root is planted in the soil of humility. For humility is the governess and wet nurse of the charity into which this branch of discernment is engrafted.'
