2024-05-21 Reconquest - Strength from a New Pentecost

En Español: 2024-05-21 Reconquista - La Fortaleza de un Nuevo Pentecostés

Regarding our current circumstances:

The Reconquest and the Messages

We believe God has called the Mission of Divine Mercy (MDM), through prophetic Messages and other means, to aid Him in the great Reconquest of the Hearts of His Children and the renewal of His Church.

In discernment and obedience to this call, and after honoring our Archbishop’s request of silence for seven years, our Community began publishing these prophetic Messages, beginning on February 28, 2024. The Messages speak of great Hope, but also of the terrible corruption at the highest levels of the Church.

In one Message, speaking to the Bishops of the great tribulation the Church is undergoing, Our Lord states: You have allowed the usurper to sit on the chair of My Peter – he who is carrying out the Great Treason that will leave My Church desolate. A shocking statement—but one that sheds profound light on the terrible suffering and confusion being experienced by so many of the faithful today. In using the words “usurper” (one who in some sense assumes a position of authority illegitimately) and “Great Treason,” we understand the Lord to be saying that Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) is not exercising the papal office validly and that he is doing grave damage to the Church.

Conflict With the Archdiocese

Unfortunately, the publication of these Messages has led to conflict with our Archbishop who has issued decrees of canonical sanctions against MDM, including withdrawing approval for the Mission of Divine Mercy to function as a Catholic apostolate in the Archdiocese of San Antonio and removing Fr. John Mary’s faculties. (Please see the Archbishop’s decrees and our statements and responses Archdiocesan Decrees and Our Statements and Responses | Mission of Divine Mercy )

We are currently working to resolve this conflict, and we pray in God’s time and through His actions it will be. But above all we believe we must be obedient to God, following the example of our Lord.

Obeying God in an Unprecedented Crisis

The actions of Jorge Bergoglio, his subversion of the Deposit of Faith, constitute an unprecedented crisis in the Church. As St. Thomas Aquinas taught, in such circumstances otherwise good laws followed blindly can cause great harm. There are times when “it is bad to follow the law, and it is good to set aside the letter of the law and to follow the dictates of justice and the common good” (II-II, Q 121, Art. 1).

Due to this unprecedented crisis, we believe God is asking us to continue our public ministry despite the canonical sanctions. We would not do this in ordinary times, but given the crisis we believe we must say with St. Peter, “‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge; for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard’” (Acts 4:19).

Request for Prayer

We ask for your prayers—for MDM, for the Archbishop, and for the Church as a whole. If we are wrong, may the Lord bring us back to the correct path. If we are right, may He help us remain faithful. And may Our Blessed Mother intercede for all of us.

Jesus, we trust in You.
