350 Years of the Sacred Heart

POPE LEO Xlll VISION OF 1884

Go back into history – all the way to 1884. In 1884 Pope Leo the 13th had a vision while saying Mass at St. Peters Basilica in Rome. He saw Satan and Christ talking.

Satan said, “I can destroy your Church. – But I need more time and more power over those who are willing to give themselves over to me.

Christ said, “How much time?”

“100 years”

Christ said, “You have it.”

As many of you know this frightened St. Leo so much that he order the prayer to St. Michael said in all the Masses throughout the world. That was October 13th, 1884.

Pope Leo 13th then consecrated the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He then created the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

SATAN’s 100 YEARS OF POWER

Before 1884 the Masons set up the Encyclopedia Britannia to distort history and to make all religion look unscientific. They tried the French Revolution in 1778. Naturalism was already in the world, Carl Sagan’s Materialism, Voltaire’s population vs. food supply, Rousseau (beyond good and evil – superman), Darwin -1858 Gradualism (Not rejected by the scientific world until 1980), Marx and his Communist Manifesto.

In 1867 Marx dedicated his Das Capital to Darwin. Nietzsche wrote his Socialism and Naturalism. Freud developed his Psychology from Darwin and from Freud. From Darwin, there was developed an entire New School System without religion and marking the End of Family unit as we knew it.

World War I started -ending the system of Catholic Kings. 38 Kings were removed from 1911 to 1922. Modernism became the new social norm with no absolutes, no fixed moral order, everything changes, a never ending change downward. World War II started because of Nazism and the idea of a supreme race. Huxley”s Secular Humanism claimed that religion is destined to disappear and Communism, the results of Atheism took 78% of the world.

Tan publishing has a book called “AA-1025.″ It tells the master plan of Communists to infiltrate the seminaries, the priesthood, to even become bishops. But most of all, to change the Catechism and the Mass. (The plan was to make the word “Charity” mean “love” and the word “Church” to mean the meeting of friendly brethren; to make the meaning of Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist depend on one’s faith. In other words, “nothing religious exists outside of creative faith”).

These people infiltrated the seminaries: the Communists, the Masons, the Homosexuals, and the writings of: Karl Rahner 1966, the idealist (idea is real, nothing else) The “Theological Investigations” of Fr. Edward Schillebeeckx (a Dominican priest in 1968) wrote that the Eucharist was a change of sign only.

Our Lady was not inactive during this time.

In 1915 Lucia and three other children (not Jacinta and Francisco) saw a ball of light come down from the sky. In the light they saw an angel. He did not speak. This started the Fatima apparitions.

On May 5th 1917 Pope Benedict 15th published a prayer to Our Lady – for Peace in the world. 8 days later on May 13th 1917 Our Lady of Fatima appeared for the first time.
And on March 25, 1984 Pope John Paul and the bishops throughout the world consecrated Russia and the world to the IHM. Even Russian Orthodox Bishops entered in. A few years later Lucia said, Our Lady has accepted the 1984 consecration and She will keep Her promise.”

This was exactly 100 years after the Vision of Pope Leo XIII. When Satan was granted 100 years to try and destroy God’s Church.

AFTER THE CONSECRATION

After the consecration a strange happening took place. An explosion in Siberia destroyed Russia’s largest ammunition base. This was the heart of its power base and no one knew why.

Five days later on Dec 19, Marshal Ustinov, the Minister of Defense, died or was killed. Three days later Marshal Sodolov, the 2nd Minister of Defense died.

In March of 1985 (one Year after consecration), President Chernenko died and Mikhial Gorbachev was made President. He was the first Baptized Christian President, although still a communist. He instituted glasnost and perestroika (freedom of the press and freedom of religion) This was the downfall of communism. 15 republics were freed from communism, and the Warsaw pact ended.

In 1989, Lucia said publicly that the Consecration was completed and that “God will keep His Word”. That year on Nov 9th, the Berlin Wall came down and Gorbachev met
Pope John Paul ll at the Vatican and promised religious freedom.

The following year, on the Feast of Fatima, May 13th, freedom of religion was made the law of Russia. And on the feast of the miracle of Fatima, Oct 13, Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Two months later, Gorbachev met the Pope in Vatican for the 2nd time. In this meeting, the Pope told him that he knew it was he that ordered the hit on the Pope. Gorbachev asked his forgiveness. (It is this story that Lucia was asked to keep silent about and nothing else.)

In 1991 (March 15), diplomatic relations with the Vatican and Russia were opened and so were Latin-rite churches for the first time.

May 1, 1991 was the 100 anniversary of Rerum Novarum, the encyclical “On the Condition of Human Labor by Pope Leo XII, and the Feast of St. Joseph, the Worker, and the end of May Day as a communist holiday.

On May 13, 1991 Pope John Paul II went to Fatima to thank Our Lady for all the countries that were freed, for saving his life, and for the end of the communist threat to the world.

But on Aug 19, 1991, the communists attempted to overthrow Gorbachev. They picked the wrong day for it was the 74th anniversary of the Aug. appearance at Fatima. On Aug 22, the attempt failed and the communists were defeated. This was the feast of the Queenship of Mary.

Two months later, on Oct 13 (another feast of Fatima), the first pilgrims of Russia went to Fatima. It was Televised in 150 stations in Russia and 350 Radio stations in Russia, and again on Nov 7th, it was televised again.

Dec 8th was the start of the Commonwealth of republics, The end of the USSR.

12 days later, Yeltsin met with the Pope in Rome.

And 13 days after that (on Dec 25th, 1991), the Communist Flag came down for last time over Russia.

Gorbachev resigned and sent a letter to Pope John Paul II.

15 republics were freed from communism.

On Dec 30th, 1991 Lucia wrote that the world will recognize that the defeat of Communism was by Mary.

In 1992, another attempt was made to overthrow the government and Yelson stood against the entire communist army and no one died.

On March 14, 1992 Pravda ended.

Then on Christmas day, 1992 Communism was declared illegal in Russia.

By 1986 87 dictatorships fell throughout the world.

From March 25, 1884 until March 25, 1984 is exactly 100 years. In 1884 Pope Saint Leo XII saw Christ give Satan power for 100 years. In 1984 Pope John Paul II Consecrated Russia and the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Communism fell, 87 other dictators fell.

The Icon of Kazan that was kept in Fatima for 50 years went back to Russia and was placed back in its Basilica by a Moslem Major. The Icon of Kazan is the most sacred of all relics in the Russian World and was smuggled out of Russia before the communists could destroy it along with so much else that they destroyed. This same major built a special church for Our Lady of Fatima.

“The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is the Church. Those who divided it have sinned. Those who are happy with these divisions have also sinned.”

Our Lady of Soufanieh, Damascus, Syria

Since November 22, 1982 in Damascus, Syria, many unexplained Heavenly events have taken and still do take place. A woman named Myrna Nazzour receives messages from the Virgin Mary and Jesus. Oozing of 100% pure olive oil comes from an icon of the Virgin Mary in Myrna’s home. Exudation of the oil from the face and hands of Myrna also happens. Myrna has lived the Passion of Christ many times with stigmatas.

The holy oil that exudes from the icon has cured many people with physical illnesses and has caused spiritual healings. Many reproductions of the icon have also exuded the holy oil in more than 16 countries around the world.

The main message Our Lady of Soufanieh and Our Lord tell us is:

UNITY OF HEARTS

UNITY OF CHRISTIANS

UNITY OF THE FEAST OF EASTER

History

The first liturgical feast of the Sacred Heart was celebrated, with episcopal approval, on 31 August 1670, in the major seminary of RennesFrance, through the efforts of John Eudes.[6]The Mass and Office composed by Eudes were adopted elsewhere also, especially in connection with the spread of devotion to the Sacred Heart following on the reported revelations to Margaret Mary Alacoque and Mary of the Divine Heart.

In 1726 Rome was again asked for a feast with a Mass and Office of its own; this was refused in 1729, but granted in 1765. In that year, at the request of the queen, the feast was received quasi-officially by the episcopate of France. A Mass of the Sacred Heart won papal approval for use in Poland and Portugal in 1765, and another was approved for Venice, Austria and Spain in 1788.

A traditional Herz-Jesu-Feuer (“Sacred Heart fire”) on the slope of Mount Ifinger in South TyrolItaly, 2009.

In 1856, at the entreaties of the French bishops, Pope Pius IXextended the Feast of the Sacred Heart to the Latin Church under the rite of double major. It was to be celebrated on the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi. In June 1889, Leo XIII raised the feast to the dignity of the first class.[7] In 1928, Pope Pius XI raised the feast to the highest rank, double of the first class, and added an octave; the 1955 reforms of the General Roman calendar suppressed, among others, the octave of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. With the liturgical changes in 1969, the feast was assigned the highest rank of solemnity.

The Mass prayers and readings approved on that occasion were replaced with new texts in 1929, and the lectionary published to accompany the 1970 Roman Missalprovides three sets of readings, one for each year of the festive three-year liturgical cycle.

Priests may use this Mass, celebrated with white vestments, as a Votive Mass on other days also, especially on the first Friday of each month (unless falling on a day of higher rank). On this first Fridays it is also common to hold an Eucharistic adoration for a few hours (see First Friday devotion).

In Austria and South Tyrol, the so-called Sacred Heart Sunday, that is the Sunday after the Feast of the Sacred Heart, is also celebrated. Numerous processions take place on this day. Sacred Heart Fires are lit in the Bozen (Bolzano) area of Italy, among others.

Since 2002, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is also a special day of prayer for the sanctification of priests.[8] In 2009, the feast marked the beginning of a “Year for Priests”.[9]

The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary immediately follows on Saturday.[10]

On June 12, 2023, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement: 

This year, on June 16 — the day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a professional baseball team has shockingly chosen to honor a group whose lewdness and vulgarity in mocking our Lord, His Mother, and consecrated women cannot be overstated. This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.[11]

The bishops called on Catholics to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart on June 16, offering this prayer “… as an act of reparation for the blasphemies against our Lord we see in our culture today.”[11]

Date

The solemnity is celebrated on the second Friday following Trinity Sunday.[12] The earliest possible date is May 29, as in 1818 and 2285. The latest possible date is July 2, as in 1943 and 2038. Therefore, it is the last feast date of the year dependent on the date of Easter.

In places where the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christis perpetually transferred from Thursday to Sunday (such as the United States and United Kingdom), it will appear on the local calendar as the Friday after the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.[12][3]
