Only the Spirit of the Lord can overcome the power and the victorious force of the huge Red Dragon, which, in this century of yours, has broken loose everywhere, in a formidable way, to seduce and ensnare all humanity.

The huge Red Dragon is atheistic communism which has spread everywhere the error of the denial and obstinate rejection of God. The huge Red Dragon is Marxist atheism, which appears with ten horns, namely the power of its means of communication, in order to lead humanity to disobey the ten commandments of God, and with seven heads, upon each of which is a crown, signs of authority and royalty. The crowned heads indicate the nations in which atheistic communism is established and rules with the force of its ideological, political and military power.

The hugeness of the Dragon clearly manifests the vastness of the territory occupied by the uncontested reign of atheistic communism. Its color is red because it uses wars and blood as instruments of its numerous conquests.

The huge Red Dragon has succeeded during these years in conquering humanity with the error of its theoretical and practical atheism, which has now seduced all nations of the earth. It has thus succeeded in building up for itself a new civilization without God, materialistic, egoistic, hedonistic, arid and cold, which carries within itself the seeds of corruption and of death.

(practical atheism: synonymous with free-market materialism)

The huge Red Dragon has the diabolical task of taking all humanity away from the Dominion of God, from the glorification of the Most Holy Trinity, from the full actualization of the plan of the Father who, by means of the Son has created it for His glory.

The Lord has reclothed me with His light and the Holy Spirit with His divine power, and thus I appear as a great sign in heaven, a Woman clothed with the sun, because I have the task of taking humanity away from the dominion of the huge Red Dragon and of bringing it back to the perfect glorification of the Most Holy Trinity.

[Revelation 13:1-8 Then I saw a wild beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems and on its heads blasphemous names. The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had paws like a bear and the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave it his own power and throne, together with great authority. I noticed that one of the beast's heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. In wonderment, the whole world followed after the beast. Men worshipped the dragon for giving his authority to the beast; they also worshipped the beast and said, Who can compare with the beast, or come forward to fight against it?

The beast was given a mouth for uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, but the authority it received was to last only forty-to months. It began to hurl blasphemies against God, reviling Him and the members of His heavenly household as well. The beast was allowed to wage war against God's people and conquer them. It was likewise granted authority over every race and people, language and nation. The beast will be worshipped by all those inhabitants of the earth who did not have their names written at the world's beginning in the book of the living, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.]

My Immaculate Heart becomes today the sign of my sure victory in the struggle which is being fought out between the followers of the huge Red Dragon and the followers of the Woman Clothed with the Sun.

In this terrible struggle, there comes up from the sea, to the aid of the Dragon, a beast like a leopard.

If the Red Dragon is Marxist atheism, the black beast is Freemasonry. The Dragon manifests himself in the force of his power; the black beast on the other hand acts in the shadow, keeps out of sight and hides himself in such a way as to enter in everywhere. He has the claws of a bear and the mouth of a lion, because he works everywhere with cunning and with the means of social communication, that is to say, through propaganda. The seven heads indicate the various Masonic lodges, which act everywhere in a subtle and dangerous way.

[Pontifical Constitution In Eminenti of Pope Clement XII, April 28, 1738:

We have resolved and decreed to condemn and forbid such Societies, assemblies, reunions, aggregations or meetings called either Freemasonic or known under some other denomination. We condemn and forbid them by this, our present constitution, which is to be considered valid forever. We command to the faithful to abstain from intercourse with those societies ... in order to avoid excommunication, which will be the penalty imposed upon all those contravening to this, our order. None, except at the point of death, could be absolved of this sin except by us or the then existing Roman Pontiff.

Pontifical Constitution Providas of Pope Benedict XIV, 1751, afffirmed that the condemnation of Freemasonry was irrevocable and was to be applied to the future as well as to the present.

Encyclical Ecclesiam a Jesu-Cristo, of Pope Pius VII, 1821, reiterated against the Freemasons the condemnations pronounced by Clement XII and Benedict XIV.

Encyclical Quo Graviora of Pope Leo XII, March 13, 1825 condemned the society called Freemasonry, as well as all other Secret Societies.

Encyclical Traditi, of Pope Pius VIII, May 21, 1829, renewed all the condemnations of his predecessors, repeating that all Masonic Sects are issued from the "well of perdition."

Pope Pius IX renewed the condemnation in the following terms:

We hereby confirm before you the Constitutions of Our Predecessors and in virtue of Our Apostolic Authority we hold up to reprobation and We condemn this Masonic Society and all other societies of the same order which, although different in appearance, but pursuing the same aim against the Church or legitimate Civil Power are constantly being formed. It is our order that all Christians of any standing whatsoever, of any rank or high appointment and over all the earth should be informed that the said Societies are forbidden and reproved by us, and incur the same sentences and condemnations as those that are specified in the former constitutions of our Predecessors.

Encyclical on Freemasonry, Human Genus, of Pope Leo XIII, April 20, 1884:

The partisans of evil seems to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons. No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself...

As Our predecessors have many times repeated, let no man think that he may for any reason whatsoever join the masonic sect, if he values his Catholic name and his eternal salvation as he ought to value them. Let no one be deceived by a pretense of honesty. It may seem to some that Freemasons demand nothing that is openly contrary to religion and morality; but, as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful...

Pope Pius XII made a specific reference to Freemasonry and Illuminism in his address to the Seventh Week Pastoral Adaptation Conference on May 23, 1958:

The roots of modern apostasy lay in scientific atheism, dialectical materialism, rationalism, illuminism, laicism, and Freemasonry - which is the mother of them all ...

The successors of Pius XII approved the Code of Canon Law of 1917 which explicitly condemned the Masons: "All those who enroll their names in the sect of Freemasons or similar associations which plot against the Church or the legitimate civil authorities incur by this very fact the penalty of excommunication, absolution from which is reserved simply to the Holy See." (Canon 2335).

The revised Code of Canon Law of 1983 stipulates: "An apostate from the faith, a heretic or a schismatic incurs automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication." (Canon 1364). "One who joins an association which plots against the Church is to be punished with a just penalty; one who promotes or moderates such an association, however, is to be punished with an interdict." (Canon 1374).

Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Masonic Associations, Nov 26, 1983:

THE QUESTION has been raised whether the Church's position on Masonic associations has been altered, especially since no explicit mention is made of them in the new Code of Canon Law, as there was in the old code ...

The Church's negative position on Masonic associations ... remains unaltered, since their principles have always been regarded as irreconcilable with the Church's doctrine. Hence joining them remains prohibited by the Church. Catholics enrolled in Masonic associations are involved in serious sin and may not approach Holy Communion.

Local ecclesiastical authorities do not have the faculty to pronounce a judgment on the nature of Masonic associations which might include a diminution of the above-mentioned judgment...

The Supreme Pontiff John Paul II approved this declaration, deliberated at an ordinary meeting of this sacred congregation, and ordered it to become part of public law ...

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect

From "Introduction to Freemasonry", given to those entering the First Degree:

"Freemasonry's symbols and teachings go back to the very childhood of the race ... to such diverse ages and places as China four-thousand years ago, the priesthood of ancient Egypt, and the Jews of the Captivity."

The new Mason learns that "Freemasonry is veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols" that he is "the property of the Lodge" and he "obligates himself for all time." He further learns that Masonry "is an analogy of man's advent from prenatal darkness into the light of human fellowship, moral truth, and spiritual faith." Entry into Masonry is a "spiritual rebirth;" the Lodge is a "world unto itself; a world within a world, different in its customs, in its laws and its structure from the world without."

He is informed that the Bible is "a symbol of all holy books of all faiths," and that in the Masonic Lodge he will hear "humble petitions to the Great Architect of the Universe, finding his own deity under that name."

In the initiation ceremonies of the Knight Kadosh (30th) Degree, the candidate stabs a skull with a papal tiara, and a skull on which is a crown, saying, "Down with imposture! Down with crime!" Integral to that initiation is a requirement that the candidate swears to "strive unceasingly ... for the overthrow of superstition, fanaticism, imposture and intolerance" ... "to undergo the sentence which may be pronounced against me by this dreaded tribunal, which I hereby acknowledge as my Supreme Judge." Finally, in the fourth oath, the Knight Kadosh focuses again on the "cruel and cowardly Pontiff, who sacrificed to his ambition the illustrious order of those Knights Templar of whom we are the true successors."

In the 31st Degree the candidate agrees that the Masonic ideal of justice "is more lofty than the actualities of God." The 32nd Degree teaches that "Masonry will eventually rule the world."]

This black beast has ten horns and, on the horns, ten crowns, which are the signs of dominion and royalty. Masonry rules and governs throughout the whole world by means of the ten horns. The horn, in the biblical world, has always been an instrument of amplification, a way of making one's voice better heard, a strong means of communication.

For this reason, God communicated His will to His people by means of ten horns which made His law known: the ten commandments. The one who accepts them and observes them walks in life along the road of the divine will, of joy, and of peace. The one who does the will of the Father accepts the word of His Son and shares in the redemption accomplished by Him. Jesus gives to souls the very divine life, through grace, that He won for us through His sacrifice carried out on Calvary.

The grace of redemption is communicated by means of the seven sacraments. With grace there becomes implanted in the soul the seeds of supernatural life which are the virtues. Among these, the most important are the three theological and the four cardinal virtues: faith, hope, charity, prudence, fortitude, justice and temperance. In the divine sun of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, these virtues germinate, grow, become more and more developed and thus lead the soul along the luminous way of love and of sanctity.

The task of the black beast, namely Masonry, is that of fighting, in a subtle way, but tenaciously, to obstruct souls from traveling along this way, pointed out by the Father and the Son and lighted up by the gifts of the Spirit. In fact if the Red Dragon works to bring all humanity to do without God, to the denial of God, and therefore spreads the error of atheism, the aim of Masonry is not to deny God, but to blaspheme him. The beast opens his mouth to utter blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His dwelling place, and against all those who dwell in heaven. The greatest blasphemy is that of denying the worship due to God alone by giving it to creatures and to Satan himself. This is why in these times, behind the perverse action of Freemasonry, there are being spread everywhere black masses and satanic cult. Moreover Masonry acts, by every means, to prevent souls from being saved and thus it endeavors to bring to nothing the redemption accomplished by Christ.

If the Lord has communicated His law with the ten commandments, Freemasonry spreads everywhere, through the power of its ten horns, a law which is completely opposed to that of God.

To the commandment of the Lord: 'You shall not have any other God but me,' it builds other false idols, before which many today prostrate themselves in adoration.

To the commandment: 'You shall not take the name of God in vain,' it sets itself up in opposition by blaspheming God and His Christ, in many subtle and diabolical ways, even to reducing His Name indecorously to the level of a brand-name of an object of sale and of producing sacrilegious films concerning His life and His Divine Person.

To the commandment: 'Remember to keep holy the Sabbath Days,' it transforms the Sunday into a weekend, into a day of sports, of competitions and of entertainments.

To the commandment: 'Honor your father and your mother,' it opposes a new model of family based on cohabitation, even between homosexuals.

To the commandment: 'You shall not commit impure acts.' it justifies, exalts and propagates every form of impurity, even to the justification of acts against nature.

To the commandment: 'You shall not kill,' it has succeeded in making abortion legal everywhere, in making euthanasia acceptable, and in causing respect due to the value of human life to all but disappear.

To the commandment: 'You shall not steal,' it works to the end that theft, violence, kidnapping and robbery spread more and more.

To the commandment: 'You shall not bear false witness,' it acts in such a way that the law of deceit, lying and duplicity becomes more and more propagated.

To the commandment: 'You shall not covet the goods and the wife of another,' it works to corrupt in the depths of the conscience, betraying the mind and the heart of man.

In this way souls become driven along the perverse and wicked road of disobedience to the laws of the Lord, become submerged in sin and are thus prevented from receiving the gift of grace and the life of God.

To the seven theological and cardinal virtues, which are the fruit of living in the grace of God, Freemasonry counters with the diffusion of the seven capital vices, which are the fruit of living habitually in the state of sin. To faith it opposes pride; to hope, lust; to charity, avarice; to prudence, anger; to fortitude, sloth; to justice, envy; to temperance, gluttony.

Whoever becomes a victim of the seven capital vices is gradually led to take away the worship that is due to God alone, in order to give it to false divinities, who are the very personification of all these vices. And in this consists the greatest and most horrible blasphemy. This is why on every head of the beast there is written a blasphemous name. Each Masonic lodge has the task of making a different divinity adored.

The first head bears the blasphemous name of pride, which opposes itself to the virtue of faith, and leads one to offer worship to the god of human reason and haughtiness, of technology and progress.

The second head bears the blasphemous name of lust, which opposes itself to the virtue of hope, and brings one to offer worship to the god of sexuality and impurity.

The third head bears the blasphemous name of avarice, which opposes itself to the virtue of charity, and spreads everywhere the worship of the god of money.

The fourth head bears the blasphemous name of anger, which opposes itself to the virtue of prudence, and leads one to offer worship to the god of discord and division.

The fifth head bears the blasphemous name of sloth, which opposes itself to the virtue of fortitude, and disseminates the worship of the idol of fear of public opinion and exploitation.

The sixth head bears the blasphemous name of envy, which opposes itself to the virtue of justice, and leads one to offer worship to the idol of violence and war.

The seventh head bears the blasphemous name of gluttony, which opposes itself to the virtue of temperance, and leads one to offer worship to the so highly extolled idol of hedonism, of materialism and of pleasure.

The task of the Masonic lodges is that of working today, with great astuteness, to bring humanity everywhere to disdain the holy law of God, to work in opposition to the ten commandments, and to take away the worship due to God alone in order to offer it to certain false idols which become extolled and adored by an ever increasing number of people: reason, flesh, money, discord, domination, violence, pleasure. Thus souls are precipitated into the dark slavery of evil, of vice and of sin and, at the moment of death and of the judgement of God, into the pool of eternal fire which is hell.

Now you understand how, in these times, against the terrible and insidious attack of the black beast, namely Masonry, my Immaculate Heart becomes your refuge and the sure road which brings you to God. In my Immaculate Heart there is delineated the tactic made use of by your heavenly Mother, to fight back against and to defeat the subtle plot made use of by the black beast.

For this reason I am training all my children to observe the ten commandments of God; to live the Gospel to the letter; to make frequent use of the sacraments, especially those of penance and eucharistic communion, as necessary helps in order to remain in the grace of God; to practice the virtues vigorously, to walk always along the path of goodness, of love, of purity and of holiness.

Beloved sons, today you are calling to mind my second apparition, which took place in the humble Cova da Iria in Fatima, on June 13, 1917. Even as of then I foretold to you that which you are living through in these times. I announced to you the great struggle between me, the Woman Clothed with the Sun, and the huge Red Dragon, which has brought humanity to live without God.

I also foretold to you the subtle and dark work, carried out by Freemasonry with the purpose of separating you from the observance of the law of God and thus making you victims of sins and of vices.

Above all, as a Mother, I have wanted to warn you of the grave dangers which threaten the Church today, because of the many and diabolical attacks which are being carried out against Her to destroy Her.

[Revelation 13:11-12 Then I saw another wild beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a ram and spoke like a dragon. It used the authority of the first beast to promote its interests by making the world and all its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.]

To attain this end, there comes out of the earth, by way of aid to the black beast which arises out of the sea, a beast which has two horns like those of a lamb.

The lamb, in holy scripture, has always been a symbol of sacrifice. On the night of the exodus, the lamb is sacrificed and, with its blood, the doorposts of the houses of the Hebrews are sprinkled, in order to remove from them the punishment which on the contrary strikes all the Egyptians. The Hebrew Pasch recalls this fact each year, through the immolation of a lamb, which is sacrificed and consumed. On Calvary, Jesus Christ sacrifices Himself for the redemption of humanity; He Himself becomes our Pasch and becomes the true Lamb of God who takes away all the sins of the world.

The beast has on its head two horns like those of a lamb. To the symbol of the sacrifice there is intimately connected that of the priesthood: the two horns. The high priest of the Old Testament wore a headpiece with two horns. The bishops of the Church wear the mitre - with two horns - to indicate the fullness of their priesthood.

The black beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry; the beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church.

[... referred to in the `3rd secret' -?]

If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry on the other hand is that of destroying Christ and His Church, building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.

Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God, He is the Word Incarnate, He is true God and true Man because He unites in His divine Person human nature and divine nature. Jesus, in the Gospel, has given His most complete definition of Himself, saying that He is the Truth, the Way and the Life.

Jesus is the Truth, because He reveals the Father to us, speaks His definitive Word to us, and brings all divine revelation to its perfect fulfillment.

Jesus is the Life, because He gives us divine life itself, with the grace merited by Him through redemption, and He institutes the sacraments as efficacious means which communicate grace.

Jesus is the Way which leads to the Father, by means of the Gospel which He has given us, as a way to follow to attain salvation.

Jesus is the Truth because it is He - the living Word - who is the font and seal of all divine revelation. And so ecclesiastical Masonry works to obscure His divine Word, by means of natural and rational interpretations and, in the attempt to make it more understandable and acceptable, empties it of all its supernatural content. Thus errors are spread in every part of the Catholic Church itself. Because of the spread of these errors, many are moving away today from the true faith, bringing to fulfillment the prophecy which was given to you by me at Fatima: 'The times will come when many will lose the true faith.' The loss of the faith is apostasy. Ecclesiastical Masonry works, in a subtle and diabolical way, to lead all to apostasy.

Jesus is the Life because He gives grace. The aim of ecclesiastical Masonry is that of justifying sin, of presenting it no longer as an evil but as something good and of value. Thus one is advised to do this as a way of satisfying exigencies of one's own nature, destroying the root from which repentance could be born, and is told that it is no longer necessary to confess it. The pernicious fruit of this accursed cancer, which has spread throughout the whole Church, is the disappearance everywhere of individual confession. Souls are led to live in sin, rejecting the gift of life which Jesus has offered to us.

Jesus is the Way which leads to the Father, by means of the Gospel. Ecclesiastical Masonry favors those forms of exegesis which gives it a rationalistic and natural interpretation, by means of the application of the various literary genres, in such a way that it becomes torn to pieces in all its parts. In the end, one arrives at denying the historical reality of the miracles and of the resurrection and places in doubt the very divinity of Jesus and His salvific mission.

(e.g., rewriting the Bible, the Order of the Liturgy, and hymns so as to use "inclusive" or "gender neutral" language)

After having destroyed the historical Christ, the beast with the two horns like a lamb seeks to destroy the mystical Christ which is the Church. The Church instituted by Christ is one, and one alone: it is the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, founded on Peter. As is Jesus, so too is the Church founded by Him which forms the mystical body, truth, life and way.

The Church is Truth, because Jesus has entrusted it to it alone the task of guarding, in its integrity, all the deposit of faith. He has entrusted to it the hierarchical Church, that is to say, to the Pope and to the bishops united with Him. Ecclesiastical Masonry seeks to destroy this reality through false ecumenism, which leads to the acceptance of all christian Churches, asserting that each one of them has some part of the truth. It develops the plan of founding a universal ecumenical Church, formed by the fusion of the christian confessions, among which, the Catholic Church.

(Cardinal Bernardin's "Common Ground Project" comes to mind)

The Church is Life, because it gives grace and it alone possesses the efficacious means of grace, which are the seven sacraments. Especially it is life because to it alone is given the power to beget the Eucharist, by means of the hierarchical and ministerial priesthood. In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ is truly present with His glorified Body and His divinity. And so ecclesiastical Masonry, in many and subtle ways, seeks to attack the ecclesial devotion towards the sacrament of the Eucharist. It gives value only to the meal aspect, tends to minimize its sacrificial value, seeks to deny the real and personal presence of Jesus in the consecrated Host. In this way there are gradually suppressed all the external signs which are indicative of faith in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, such as genuflections, hours of public adoration and the holy custom of surrounding the tabernacle with lights and flowers.

(Does your church have hours for Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament? for Benediction? Where is the tabernacle - on the altar or in a corner somewhere? Read the following on just two of many Eucharistic miracles that have been occurring:)

[BETANIA, BRAZIL: December 8, 1991, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Fr. Otty Ossa Aristizabal, pastor assigned to the Betania grotto, was celebrating mass in the outdoor church. Monsignor Pio Bello Ricardo related to me that as Fr. Otty performed the consecration, he broke the host into four pieces, then elevated them. He placed them on the paten and consumed one of the four pieces. After consuming the one portion, he looked down to find that a spot of blood had appeared on one of the sections.

Medical tests were performed on the blood which proved it to be of human origin. However Bishop Pio did not allow type testing to be performed to determine whether it was type O, etc., because this required an additional blood sample, and more blood than was available. This would have severely damaged the eucharistic miracle. So he opted to forego this test.

Shortly after the evaluation, the Miraculous Host was moved to a small chapel at a Convent near the Diocesan Curiate in Los Teques, where pilgrims flock today to venerate the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.]

[NAJU, KOREA: In the small town of Naju located near the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula, Our Lady began giving urgent messages and signs to Julia Kim. On June 30, 1985, Our Lady's statue owned by Julia began weeping tears, and on October 19, 1986 it began weeping tears of blood. Until January 14, 1992, the statue wept for a total of exactly 700 days. The tears of blood were tested and found to be human blood. Now the statue has been giving fragrant oil. Julia has been given a "garment of fragrance". So, Julia is surrounded by the sweet fragrance of roses. Also, when she kisses a rosary or simply holds it in her hands for a few seconds, it becomes fragrant.

Julia also often undergoes severe pains for the conversion of others and in reparation for abortions and other sins in the world. Several times, she received the Stigmata while suffering the pains of Crucifixion. She has been allowed to experience Eucharistic miracles. Many people, including priests witnessed that the Sacred Host Julia received was turning light brown first and then being covered with blood. Many people began firmly believing in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist because of these miracles.

"Sworn Testimony of Witnesses of Miraculous transformation of Consecrated Host and Wine, changing into living and moving flesh and blood, when Julia Kim received Holy Communion during the Celebration of the Eucharist at the open air Mass, celebrated in the field of the valley amidst the mountains outside Naju, at 5 p.m. on September 22, 1995.

"I, Bishop Roman Danylak, Apostolic Administrator of the Eparchy of Toronto for Ukrainian Catholics in Toronto, Canada, and titular bishop of Nyssa, herewith solemnly testify that I concelebrated the Divine Liturgy, or Holy Mass, with the Reverend Fathers Aloysius Chang, parish priest of the Kwangju Archdiocese in Korea, invited by me to assist during my visit to Korea; and Joseph Peter Finn, retired priest of the Diocese of London, Canada, on Friday, September 22, at 5 p.m. in an open air celebration on the grounds of the valley where a future church is to be erected, God-willing, to the honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Mother of God.

"Following the Liturgy of the Word, I delivered a brief homily for the occasion. After the communion of the priests, Fr. Chang and I administered Holy Communion under both species to Julia Kim and the eleven others. As we continued the distribution of Holy Communion to the others present, we heard a sudden sobbing of one of the women assisting at Mass. The Sacred Host received by Julia was changed to living flesh and blood. Father Joseph Finn, who had remained at the altar during the communion of the faithful, was observing Julia; he noted that at the moment he turned to observe Julia, he saw the white edge of the host disappearing and changing into the substance of living flesh.

"Fr. Chang and I returned to Julia. The host had changed to dark red, living flesh and blood flowing from it. After Mass, Julia shared with us that she experienced the Divine Flesh as a thick consistency and a copious flowing of blood, more so than on the occasion of previous miracles of the changing of the host into bleeding flesh. We remained in silence and prayer; all present had the opportunity of viewing and venerating the miraculous host. After some moments I asked Julia to swallow and consume the host. And after the Mass Julia explained that the Host had become large and fleshy; and that she consumed it with some difficulty. The taste of blood remained in her mouth for some time. I then asked that she be given a glass of water, from the miraculous source of water nearby. As she drank the water, her finger touched her lips, and a trace of blood was visible on her finger. She rinsed her finger in the water and drank it." (Signed by Bishop Roman Danylak, Fathers Joseph P. Finn and Aloysius Chang, and others present)

On October 31, 1995, Julia visited the Vatican together with Monsignor Nam Ik Paik, Julio (her husband), Rosa (her eldest daughter) and Raphael Son (a seminarian). They attended a private Mass celebrated by the Holy Father. There also were several people from France who had also been invited. During Mass, Julia and her companions were allowed to sing hymns in Korean. At Communion time, another Eucharistic miracle occurred. As in most of the previous Eucharistic miracles through Julia, the Sacred Host turned into live Flesh and Blood on her tongue.

The process of this miracle was observed by Msgr. Paik. He testified that, as the Sacred Host was turning into Flesh, it also became larger and formed the shape of a heart. He said that the shape was the same as in the 11th Eucharistic miracle that had occurred in Naju on September 22, 1995 during the Mass celebrated by Bishop Roman Danylak from Toronto and two other priests.

Immediately after the Mass, the Holy Father came to Julia and witnessed this miracle. He blessed Julia and her companions.

Julia also relayed the Blessed Mother's message to the Holy Father, in which Our Lady asked him to teach the importance of the Sacrament of Confession and the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist to all.

[Our Lady, Mother of the Eucharist: Eucharistic miracles associated with Marisa Rossi, Rome, Italy, June 1993 to present - see http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/6832/index.html]

[Others: See http://www.pitt.edu/~aagst8/mir/a3.html]

The Church is Way because it leads to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit, along the way of perfect unity. As the Father and the Son are one, so too must you be one among yourselves. Jesus has willed that His Church be a sign and an instrument of the unity of the whole human race. The Church succeeds in being united because it has been founded on the cornerstone of its unity: Peter, and the Pope who succeeds to the charism of Peter. And so ecclesiastical Masonry seeks to destroy the foundation of the unity of the Church, through a subtle and insidious attack on the Pope. It weaves plots of dissension and of contestation against the Pope; it supports and rewards those who vilify and disobey him; it disseminates the criticisms and the contentions of bishops and theologians. In this way the very foundation of its unity is demolished and thus the Church becomes more and more torn and divided.

[Revelation 13:13-17 It performed great prodigies; it could even make fire come down from heaven to earth as men looked on. Because of the prodigies it was allowed to perform by authority of the first beast, it led astray the earth's inhabitants, telling them to make an idol in honor of the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second wild beast was then permitted to give life to the beast's image, so that the image had the power of speech and of putting to death anyone who refused to worship it. It forced all men, small and great, rich and poor, slave and free, to accept a stamped image on their right hand or their forehead. Moreover, it did not allow a man to buy or sell anything unless he was first marked with the number that stood for its name.]

Ecclesiastical Masonry receives orders and power from the various Masonic lodges and works to lead everyone secretly to become part of these secret sects. Thus it stimulates the ambitious with the prospect of easy careers; it heaps up with goods those who are starved for money; it assists its members to exceed others and to occupy the most important positions while it sets aside, in a subtle but decisive way, all those who refuse to take part in its designs. Indeed the beast like a lamb exercises all its power from the first beast, in its presence, and it forces the earth and all its inhabitants to adore the first beast.

Ecclesiastical Masonry goes as far as even building a statue in honor of the beast and forces all to adore this statue.

-But, according to the first commandment of the holy law of the Lord, only God is to be adored and to Him alone must every form of worship be rendered. And so they substitute for God a strong, powerful and dominating idol. An idol so powerful that it puts to death all who do not adore the statue of the beast. An idol so strong and dominating as to cause all, small and great, rich and poor, freeman and slaves, to receive a mark on the right hand and on the forehead, and that no one can buy or sell without having this mark, that is to say, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This great idol, built to be served by all, as I have already revealed to you in the preceding message, is a false church and a false christ.

But what is its name?

[Revelation 13:18 A certain wisdom is needed here; with a little ingenuity anyone can calculate the number of the beast, for it has a number that stands for a certain man. That man's number is six hundred sixty-six.]

-In the thirteenth chapter of the Apocalypse it is written, 'This calls for wisdom. Let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast: it represents a human name. And the number in question is 666 (six hundred and sixty-six).' With intelligence, illumined by the light of divine Wisdom, one can succeed in deciphering from the number, 666, the name of a man and this name, indicated by such a number, is that of the Antichrist.

[1st John 7 Many deceitful men have gone out into the world, men who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. Such is the deceitful one! This is the antichrist!]

Lucifer, the ancient serpent, the devil or Satan, the Red Dragon, becomes, in these last times, the Antichrist. The Apostle John already affirmed that whoever denies that Jesus Christ is God, that person is the Antichrist. The statue or idol, built in honor of the best, to be adored by all men is the Antichrist.

Calculate now its number, 666, to understand how it indicates the name of a man. The number 333, indicates the divinity.

(Recall that the writings of the apostle John in Revelation were for an audience to whom some numbers held symbolic significance, for example to the Hebrews, 7 signified perfection, 1000 signified infinity)

Lucifer rebels against God through pride, because he wants to put himself above God. 333 is the number which indicates the mystery of God. He who wants to put himself above God bears the sign, 666, and consequently this number indicates the name of Lucifer, Satan, that is so say, of him who sets himself against Christ, of the Antichrist.

333 indicated once, that is to say, for the first time, expresses the mystery of the unity of God. 333 indicated twice, that is to say, for the second time, indicates the two natures, that of the divine and the human, united in the divine Person of Jesus Christ. 333 indicated thrice, that is to say, for the third time, indicates the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Thus the number, 333, expressed one, two and three times, expresses the principle mysteries of the Catholic faith, which are: (1) the Unity and the Trinity of God, (2) the incarnation, the passion and death, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If 333 is the number which indicates the divinity, he who wants to put himself above God himself is referred to by the number 666.

666 indicated once, that is to say, for the first time, expresses the year 666, six hundred and sixty-six. In this period of history, the Antichrist is manifested through the phenomenon of Islam, which directly denies the mystery of the divine Trinity and the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Islamism, with its military force, breaks loose everywhere, destroying all the ancient christian communities, and invades Europe and it is only through my extraordinary motherly intervention, begged for powerfully by the Holy Father, that it does not succeed in destroying Christianity completely.

666 indicated twice, that is to say, for the second time, expresses the year 1332, thirteen hundred and thirty-two. In this period of history, the Antichrist is manifested through a radical attack on the faith in the word of God. Through the philosophers who begin to give exclusive value to science and then to reason, there is a gradual tendency to constitute human intelligence alone as the sole criterion of truth. There comes to birth the great philosophical errors which continue through the centuries down to your days. The exaggerated importance given to reason, as an exclusive criterion of truth, necessarily leads to the destruction of faith in the word of God. Indeed, with the Protestant Reformation, Tradition is rejected as a source of divine revelation, and only Sacred Scripture is accepted. But even this must be interpreted by means of the reason, and the authentic Magisterium of the hierarchical Church, to which Christ has entrusted the guardianship of the deposit of faith, is obstinately rejected. Each one is free to read and to understand Sacred Scripture according to one's personal interpretation. In this way, faith in the word of God is destroyed. The work of the Antichrist, in this period of history, is the division of the Church and the consequent formation of new and numerous christian confessions which gradually become driven to a more and more extensive loss of the true faith of the word of God.

666 indicated thrice, that is to say, for the third time, expresses the year 1998, nineteen hundred and ninety-eight. In this period of history, Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to put in the place of Christ and of His Church. A false christ and a false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first beast to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the purification, of the great tribulation and of the apostasy. The apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will open for the appearance of the man or of the very person of the Antichrist!

This is why, beloved children, I have wanted to enlighten you concerning the pages of the Apocalypse which refer to the times you are living through. this is to prepare you with me, for the most painful and decisive part of the great struggle which is on the point of being fought out between your heavenly Mother and all the forces of evil which have been let loose.
