Demands of the Sacred Heart to Louis XIV

And here are the words which I heard about our king:
“Let know to the elder son of my Sacred Heart that, as his temporal birth was obtained by the worship in the merits of my holy Childhood, also he will obtain his birth of grace and eternal glory by the consecration which he will make of himself to my adorable Heart, which wants to triumph over his and, by his mediation, over that of the big of the earth. He wants to reign in his palace, to be painted in his banners and engraved in his weapons, to make them victorious of all his enemies, by bringing down in his feet these arrogant and magnificent heads, to make him triumphant of all the enemies of the holy Church. "

Holy Marguerite-Marie to the Mother de Saumaise (in June, 1689)


Demandes du Sacré-Cœur à Louis XIV

Et voici les paroles que j’entendis au sujet de notre roi:
« Fais savoir au fils aîné de mon Sacré-Cœur que, comme sa naissance temporelle a été obtenue par la dévotion aux mérites de ma sainte Enfance, de même il obtiendra sa naissance de grâce et de gloire éternelle par la consécration qu’il fera de lui-même à mon Cœur adorable, qui veut triompher du sien et, par son entremise, de celui des grands de la terre. Il veut régner dans son palais, être peint dans ses étendards et gravé dans ses armes, pour les rendre victorieuses de tous ses ennemis, en abattant à ses pieds ces têtes orgueilleuses et superbes, pour le rendre triomphant de tous les ennemis de la sainte Église.»

DRAW DOWN PEACE UPON YOUR COUNTRY

… (The first apparition of the Angel, who appeared three times in 1916) We had enjoyed the game for a few moments only, when a strong wind began to shake the trees. We looked up, startled, to see what was happening, for the day was unusually calm. Then we saw coming towards us, above the olive trees, the figure I have already spoken about. Jacinta and Francisco had never seen it before, nor had I ever mentioned it to them. As it drew closer, we were able to distinguish its features. It was a young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, whiter than snow, transparent as crystal when the sun shines through it, and of great beauty. On reaching us, he said:
«Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me. »
Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground, and made us repeat these words three times:
«My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.»
Then, rising, he said: «Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.»
His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them. From then on, we used to spend long periods of time, prostrate like the Angel, repeating his words, until sometimes we fell, exhausted. I warned my companions, right away, that this must be kept secret and, thank God, they did what I wanted.
… (The second apparition of the same Angel) Some time passed, and summer came, when we had to go home for siesta. One day, we were playing on the stone slabs of the well down at the bottom of the garden belonging to my parents, which we called the Arneiro. (I have already mentioned this well to Your Excellency in my account of Jacinta). Suddenly, we saw beside us the same figure, or rather Angel, as it seemed to me.
«What are you doing? he asked. Pray, pray very much! The most holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices constantly to the Most High. »
«How are we to make sacrifices? » I asked.
«Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners. You will thus draw down peace upon your country. I am its Angel Guardian, the Angel of Portugal. Above all, accept and bear with submission, the suffering which the Lord will send you. »
A considerable time had elapsed, when one day we went to pasture our sheep on a property belonging to my parents, which lay on the slope of the hill I have mentioned, a little higher up than Valinhos. It is an olive grove called Pregueira. After our lunch, we decided to go and pray in the hollow among the rocks on the opposite side of the hill. To get there, we went around the slope, and had to climb over some rocks above the Pregueira. The sheep could only scramble over these rocks with great difficulty.
As soon as we arrived there, we knelt down, with our foreheads touching the ground, and began to repeat the prayer of the Angel: «My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You. » I don’t know how many times we had repeated this prayer, when an extraordinary light shone upon us.
(The third and last apparition of the same Angel)
We sprang up to see what was happening, and beheld the Angel. He was holding a chalice in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down beside us and made us repeat three times:
«Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.»
Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hands. He gave the Sacred Host to me, and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so: «Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God. »
Once again, he prostrated on the ground and repeated with us, three times more, the same prayer «Most Holy Trinity …» and then disappeared.
We remained a long time in this position, repeating the same words over and over again. When at last we stood up, we noticed that it was already dark, and therefore time to return home… [FATIMA IN LUCIA’S OWN WORDS SISTER LUCIA’S MEMOIRS (pages 63, 64 and 65)] Translated by Dominican Nuns of Perpetual Rosary.

If I forget you, Jerusalem … If I forget you, Paul VI, still living (112 years) …

1 On the edges of the rivers of Babylon, we sat all in tears in the memory of Zion.
2 We had suspended our harps to the willows of this country 3 because those that had deported us demanded us a canticle, and our oppressors required one hymn of joy:
“Sing us so one of the canticles of Zion!”

4 How could we sing a canticle of the Lord on a foreign country?
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be paralyzed!
6 Let my tongue remain fastened to my palate, if I do not keep your memory, if I do not put Jerusalem in the first rank of my joys.

7 Against the sons of Edom, remember, Lord, of the day when fell Jerusalem, when they exclaimed: "Destroy, destroy her until her foundations!”
"8 Girl of devastating Babylon, happy the one that will make you the evil that you made us!
9 Happy the one that will seize your little children to crush them against the rock!"(*1)

Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary

In 1571 Turkish Muslims amassed a huge naval fleet of galley ships in the Bay of Lepanto off the coast of Cyprus in an attempt to control the Mediterranean Sea, destroy the Christian fleet and invade the whole of Europe. Don Juan of Austria, the exiled illegitimate son of the king of Spain found himself selected as commander-in-chief of the outnumbered Christian fleet in what history would record as the bloodiest deck-to-deck sea battle in naval history.
Pope St. Pius V, a former Dominican monk, strove to unite the naval forces of Venice, Spain and the Holy See to meet the Muslim threat and entrusted the Christian fleet to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The pope sent his blessing to the fleet commander, Don John of Austria, recommending him to leave behind all soldiers of evil life, and promising him the victory if he did so. Realizing the importance of the impending battle, the pope ordered public prayers, and increased his own supplications to heaven and led the people of Rome in vigils and processions from dawn to dusk as they prayed the rosary to Our Lady of Victory. The rosary became the spiritual weapon of the Christians as thousands joined together in prayer on the day of the Battle of Lepanto, October 7, 1571. That night while meeting with the cardinals, he suddenly stopped and opened the window and looking at the sky, he cried out, “A truce to business; our great task at present is to thank God for the victory which he has just given the Christian army”. He burst into tears over the victory which dealt the Muslim power a blow from which it never fully recovered. The decisive victory in the Bay of Lepanto destroyed all but a third of the enemy fleet and drove-off those that survived the conflict.
Pope Pius V established October 7 as a feast day of Our Lady of Victory in honor of the Blessed Virgin’s assistance in securing the victory, freeing some twelve thousand Christian galley slaves and securing the safety of Europe. In memory of this triumph he instituted the first Sunday of October the feast of the Rosary and added to the Litany of Loreto the supplication “Help of Christians”. He was hoping to put an end to the power of Islam by forming a general alliance between the Italian cities and those of Poland, France, and all of Christian Europe.

Two years later Pope Gregory XIII changed the name of the feast day to Our Lady of the Rosary because it was through the praying of the Rosary that the battle had been won. October became the month of the Most Holy Rosary in the Church’s calendar. Pope Leo XIII added the invocation “Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us” to the Litany of Loreto.





Below, from various historical sources is the account of the battle.

Don John of Austria met his fleet off Messina and saw that he had 300 ships, great and small, under his command. The Pope himself had outfitted twelve galleys and the depth of his war chest had paid for many more. Don John’s eye must have gazed with pride on the 80 galleys and 22 other ships that had been provided by his half-brother Philip II of Spain. Each of these Spanish galleys held a hundred soldiers on top of the rowers who propelled the ship through the water and no less than 30,000 men in the service of Spain would fight at Lepanto. The next largest contingent was that of Venice. No longer the dominating power of yesteryear, the Venetians could still assemble a fleet of more than a hundred vessels beneath the winged Lion of St. Mark standard. The Venetian ships were poorly manned and the necessity of stationing Spanish soldiers on Venetian ships led to friction and in some cases blows.
It was the Venetians, however, who provided the technological cutting edge that was to win the battle. In the Venetian fleet were six galleasses. Broader in the beam than regular galleys and with a deeper draught they were so difficult to maneuver that they had to be towed into battle by speedier vessels. Despite their lethargy of movement, they were the most powerful ships in the Mediterranean. Their broad beam and deeper draught gave them a stability as a gun platform hitherto unknown. On their prow was constructed a kind of walled platform mounted with swivel guns that presaged the armored turrets of later battleships by almost 300 years. The sides and the stern of the galleass were also heavily armed and a wooden deck protected the rowers. On its bow there was a long point that could effectively crush any smaller vessel that was unfortunate enough to be in the galleass’ way. A total of 80,000 men manned the ships of the Holy League. Of these 50,000 toiled at the oars and the remaining 30,000 were soldiers on the decks.
On September 17th 1571, Don John moved his fleet eastwards and at Corfu they heard that the Muslims had recently landed and terrorized the Christian population. They then moved on and as they lay anchored off the coast of Cephalonia, terrible news reached them. Famagusta, the last Christian stronghold on Cyprus had fallen to the Muslim invaders. All the defenders who had survived the assault were tortured and then executed. The news enraged the men of Don John’s fleet and stiffened the resolve of the commanders to engage the Moslems as quickly as possible. There was one other piece of disturbing news: the Moslem fleet under the command of Ali Pasha had been reinforced by a Calabrian fisherman turned Moslem and corsair. His name was Uluch Ali and he was now the Bey of Algiers, that notorious nest of the Moslem corsairs feared by all Christian ships plying their trade in the Mediterranean. Don John moved his force towards the anchorage of Lepanto where he knew the Turk mercenaries would be waiting and during the night of October 6th, with a favorable wind behind him, Ali Pasha moved his fleet westward toward the mouth of the Gulf of Patras and the approaching ships of the Holy League.
The action that was to follow was the biggest naval engagement anywhere on the globe since the Battle of Actium in 30 B.C. and the tactics had changed little since then. Both commanders hoped to rapidly come to grips with their enemy, board them and let the soldiers fight it out to the end. The only major difference was that in 1571 the ships carried guns and those on the galleasses in particular would have a crucial effect. When the Turkish fleet was sighted, Don John split his force into three sections. On the right of the Christian line he placed the Venetians under Barbarrigo, on the left Andrea Doria leading the Genoese and papal galleys. The centre he took for himself. In reserve was Santa Cruz with a force of 35 Spanish and Venetian ships. Before the action began Don John ordered his men not to fire until they were close enough to be splashed by Moslem blood. He also ordered the iron rams to be removed from his ships as he knew that gunfire and close quarter fighting would be of more use than attempts to ram. Two galleasses were towed into position in in front of each Christian division.
The Turks, initially arrayed in a giant crescent-shaped formation, quickly separated into three sections also. The center, under Ali Pasha, pushed forward and the action opened when the cannon of Don John’s two centre galleasses began to do great execution among Ali Pasha’s advancing ships. Seven or more Turkish galleys went down almost immediately. The Turks were not lacking in courage, however, and they pressed on in the face of intense fire from the galleasses, the galleys’ guns and arquebus and crossbowmen on the Christian decks. Ali Pasha tried to come alongside the Christian ships in the hope of boarding and here the legendary steadfastness under fire of the 16th and 17th century Spanish infantryman came to the fore and attack after attack was beaten off by killing shots from their arquebuses. Then Don John gave the order to board Ali Pasha’s flagship. In a wild melee of attack, retreat and counterattack played out on decks awash with the blood of the slain, the air rent by the screams of the wounded and dying. The Spaniards forced their way onto the Turkish galley three times. Twice they were beaten back but finally they stormed the Turkish poop and a wounded Ali Pasha was beheaded on the spot. His head was spitted on a pike and held aloft for all to see and the Ottoman battle flag, never before lost in battle, was pulled down from the mainmast. The Moslem center broke and retired as best it could, their courage forgotten by the elated Spaniards.
On the flanks things had not gone so well. Mohammed Sirocco, commanding the Turkish right, sailed in close to the rocks and shoals of the northern shore of the gulf to outflank Barbarrigo’s Venetian galleys. On the left of the Turkish line Ulach Ali did the same, swinging as close as he could to the southern shore in an attempt to surround Andrea Doria’s ships. Sirocco knew well the waters of the Gulf Of Patras and he succeeded in his maneuver. Barbarrigo was surrounded by eight enemy galleys and fell dead from a Turkish arrow. His flagship was taken and retaken twice and when aid finally came and Sirocco’s galley was sunk, the Turkish admiral was ignominiously pulled from the water and, like Ali Pasha, immediately beheaded. Mercy was a quality not much in vogue in the wars between the crescent and the cross. On the Christian right, Ulach Ali, perhaps lacking the knowledge of local waters that had given Sirocco his initial success, was unable to turn the Genoese flank. He did, however, spot a gap in the line and skillfully brought some of his galleys through and took part of Don John’s center in the rear. The Capitana flagship of the Knights of St. John, its commander skewered by five arrows, was boarded, seized and towed off as a prize of battle. In the Christian reserve, Santa Cruz saw this happening and made haste to recover the captured ship. Uluch Ali, realizing that discretion is often the better part of valor, pulled back leaving the Capitana in Christian hands. Doria’s division had been roughly handled by Uluch Ali’s remaining ships and it was only after Don John had secured the Christian center and came to Doria’s aid that the last of the Algerine ships were beaten back.
The engagement lasted for more than four hours and when the smoke finally cleared it became apparent that this was a major victory for the Holy League and a bitter defeat for the Turks. Almost 8,000 of the men who had sailed with Don John were dead and another 16,000 wounded. On the brighter side 12,000 Christian galley slaves had been released from their servitude to the Ottomans. The Turks and Uluch Ali’s Algerines had suffered much more grievously: at least 25,000 of them had been killed.
The day belongs to Don John, the Holy League and Christendom. When the news of the victory broke, church bells were rung all over in Europe in a spontaneous outburst of joy and thanksgiving.
Vivat Hispania!
Domino Gloria!
Don John of Austria Has set his people free!
Don John pounding from the slaughter-painted poop,
Purpling all the ocean like a bloody pirate’s sloop,
Scarlet running over on the silvers and the golds,
Breaking of the hatches up and bursting of the holds,
Thronging of the thousands up that labor under sea
White for bliss and blind for sun and stunned for liberty.
Cervantes on his galley sets the sword back in the sheath
(Don John of Austria rides homeward with a wreath.)
And he sees across a weary land a straggling road in Spain,
Up which a lean and foolish knight for ever rides in vain,
And he smiles, but not as Sultans smile, and settles back the blade….
(But Don John of Austria rides home from the Crusade.)

SAINT JEROME. DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH. (IVth CENTURY).

Jerome, son of Eusèbe, rich and Christian man, was born at Stridon, in Pannonie, at about the year 331. Early, he came to Rome where he studied under Donat and was baptized. With the aim of perfecting his instruction, he travelled in Gaul at first, where he frequented the scholars of time and copied several works by his own hand; then in Greece, where he studied philosophy, and from there, in all the cities of the East, where was some erudite theologian.
In Constantinople, he became attached to the person of Saint Gregory de Nazianze, and he admits himself that it is at his school that he learnt the sacred letters. Finally he went to visit the holy places and generally all Palestine, together with some Hebrew very well informed into the knowledge of the Writings and places where had happened the facts which they bring back.
After these peregrinations, he retired at about the year 374, in Chalcide's desert in Syria. It was a vast solitude, burned by the heats of the sun. Jerome lived there four years, sharing his time between the reading of the holy books and the exercises of the prayer and the penitence. It is there, that in the recollection of Rome and the faults of his life, he struck his breast with a stone, and that he punished the revolts of his flesh by rolling about on bushes of thorns, where from he got up stained with blood.
Ordered priest then by Saint Paulin, bishop of Antioch, he returned in Rome with this holy prelate and saint Épiphane. They came any three to subject to the decision of the holy pope Damase, very controversial questions in the Church of East. Saint Jerome did not delay being appreciated by the Sovereign - pontiff, who named him his secretary. All the correspondence of saint Damase with the various churches and on ecclesiastical subjects was so the work of our saint.
However the recollection of his dear solitude returned ceaselessly in his thought, and he left again Rome and the noise of the world, to withdraw in a convent of Bethlehem which saint Paula had made build.
There, in the silence of the retreat, he was engaged quite complete in the sacred science and in the meditation, in spite of infirmities and diseases which assailed him. The study of the holy books made with the prayer his only consolation. The reputation of science and virtue went growing everyday, and soon he became the oracle of the whole world. From all the points of the globe one consulted him on the most difficult questions. The pope Damase and saint Augustine often applied to him. His vast learning attracted him respect and universal admiration.
Nobody possessed better than him, not only the knowledge of the Greek and Latin letters, but that of languages Hebraic and Chaldean. In the testimony of Saint Augustine, there was almost no author whom he had read. He pursued error with the heat of the faith and avenged the catholic truth. He translated the Old Testament into Latin and the New in Greek, in the prayer of the pope Damase.
Besides several other translations and several comments, we owe him several productions of his personal genius. He had reached an extreme old age when he was attacked by a violent fever. His friends hurried to come to pay the last honours to him:

"Do you come, does he say to them with a serene face, do you come to warn me that it is necessary to leave? How pleasant to me is that news! Here is, indeed, the precious moment which is going to return me to my freedom for ever. O how people make a false idea of the death, when they paint it so hideous.
"Since Jesus Christ loved her, I love her all the more because she makes shine to my eyes the nearest hope of the happy eternity … Could you feel one day how sweet it is to die having lived well! " He says, and his soul escaped from his body worn out by the penitence as much as by the age, and went to receive the reward of his virtues. This precious death arrived the year 420 of Jesus Christ. The rests of saint Jerome were buried in Bethlehem; later they were transported in Rome and deposited in saint Mary’s Church ad Præsepe.


PRACTICES. - Saint Jerome had a vast and deep genius, a very wide science, a heart at the level of his spirit, and however he was engaged in the practices of the penitence which the society men consider as the sharing of weak spirits. He went away from the world and the pleasures which he offers to his amateurs, because he felt them dangerous. Let us learn, at his school, what we have to make to pay the penalties of our sins.

PRAYER. - Lord, penetrate my flesh and my soul by your fear and your love, so that walking on the tracks of the glorious saint Jerome, we get loose from creatures to live only for you.

(Mass 1) Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (R.P.MARTIN DE COCHEM)

I translate this text from the French version, but, don’t forget, as you will notice, I do not speak very good English. I did this translation with a dictionary and software, so be tolerant and smart! Rectify by yourself when you see a mistake and don’t laugh at me, I am like a dump trying to explain to the firemen that I have seen a fire in a house. Thank you! By the way, this ’house’ is maybe yours.

Extracts, p. 115-116. (p. 115) When in the Last Supper, he (Jesus Christ) established the Blessed Sacrament, he did not want to make it either in only once, nor under a single species, but he wanted to consecrate twice and under two species, and this to remind us more sharply his death, though under the species of the bread the blood is too present and the body is under the species of the wine. (It is us - The Knight Yannick - who underline!)
However, by the consecration under the two species and the power of the sacramental words, only the body is called under the appearance of the bread and the blood under that of the wine; so as to represent sharply the separation from one with the other, what is the death itself, although, I repeat it, by concomitance, the body is also under the species of the wine and the blood under the species of the bread.
Lanscicius writes on this subject: “As the death arrives by the separation of the blood from the body and that Jesus Christ died on the Cross from this natural separation, in the Mass too, his death is represented to us by the separation of his body and of his blood.”
By dying under the eyes of his Father, Jesus (p. 116) testifies Him of the same perfect obedience as by dying on the Cross. If he had been submitted in all, nothing cost as much to his human nature as to make himself "obedient until the death, and in the death of the Cross (Philip. II 8). “Also this obedience was so pleasant to God that, to reward him, "God supremely brought him up and gave him the name which is over any name (Philip. II 9). As I have already said it, this perfect obedience, the Saver offers it to his Father during the Mass and with it the magnificent virtues which he practised during his agony: his perfect innocence, his profound humility, his unvarying patience, his burning charity to his heavenly Father, as to his executioners, his enemies, all the sinners.
Jesus shows also to his Father the bitter pains which he bore on the Cross, his unspeakable agony, the dismays which upset him, the disrupted members, the stab of the spear which pierced him the Heart. All this, he represents it as sharply as if he was still on the Calvary. And as he had then calmed the wrath of his Father and had reconciled Him the world, he still touches this paternal Heart in our favour at each Mass and pursues so the work of our salvation.
See as well, according to the holy doctors, the big profit that this mystic death assures us. (It is us - The Knight Yannick - who underline!)
Saint Gregory says: “This sacrifice protects the soul of the eternal loss by renewing the death of the Son of God.” …

XVI 1 I said to you these things so that 'the hatred of the world' is not for you an occasion of fall. 2 They will chase you away from the synagogues; and even the hour approaches where whoever will make you die will believe he worships God. 3 And they will act so because they did know neither the Father nor me. 4 But I warned you and I said to you these words, so that, when the time has come, you remember that I said them to you. (John XVI 1-5) (Bible Yann v1)

Devotion

Exercise in the devotion. Physical gym is not useful in much thing, whereas devotion is useful for everything, because it has the promise of the present life and of the life to come. (I Tim IV 8)

Small critical study

Small critical study of two passages of the review ' Facteur X ' Nº 2 treating of paranormal, UFOs, mysteries, secret files, presenting itself so: Editions Marshall Cavendish: qualitative sign. French edition.

Let us go to the page 41 of the article ' Predictions for 2000 ' which goes from the page 40 to the page 43.

Page 41, in the box presented as titled 'further inquiry': Countdown of announced disasters, we read (I quote the text of the review which we put in italic):

' Numerous seers predicted disasters near 2000. But, according to them, what does it have exactly to occur and when?
. On 1999: The Adventists of the 7-th day, the Jehovah's Witnesses as the seer Fatima asserted all that world would disappear this year. '

My reaction, to this reading:
What? ‘As the seer Fatima???’
But Fatima is not a woman, is not a seer, as asserts it in an erroneous way the review Factor X. Fatima, it is a place of apparitions which is in Portugal, recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.

We continue to read this box presented as titled 'further inquiry': Countdown of announced disasters (I still quote the text of the review which we put in italic):


' On 2000: … The Christian seers Saint Malachie and Garabandal fixed the end of times in this date. '
My 'second' reaction, to this reading:
What? ‘The Christian seer... Garabandal???’But Garabandal is not a man, is not a seer, as asserts it in an erroneous way the review Factor X. Garabandal, as Fatima, is a place of apparitions, but in Spain near Santander, while Fatima is in Portugal.

Answer to the former question

Answer to the former question

Answer: It was C - St John the Baptist - who said: « No one can have anything unless God gives it to him!», which means:
" Nobody has the right to appropriate to himself (to take upon himself) any other title that the one that has been given to him by the Eternal ! " (St John III 27)

Peter and Jesus (St Matthew XVI 13 - 20)

Peter and Jesus (St Matthew XVI)

13 Arrived on the territory of Caesarea of Philippe, Jesus questioned his disciples: "According to the people, does he say, who is the Son of the Man?"

14 They answered: Some say that it is John the Baptist; others Elijah; others Jeremiah or some other prophet. "

15 " And you, does he say to them, who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!"

"17 Then Jesus resumed: "You are happy (blissfull), Simon, son of Jonas, because it is not the flesh and the blood which revealed you this, but my Father who is in Heavens.

18 And I declare to you: You are Peter, and on this stone, I shall build my Church, and the doors of the hell will not prevail against her.

19 I shall give you the keys of the celestial kingdom: all that you will tie on the earth will be tied in heavens, and all that you will untie on the earth will be untied in heavens. "

20 Then he ordered his disciples not to say to anybody that he was the Christ.

(St Matthew XVI 13-20)

I Cor. I 17

" Christ sent me to preach the Gospel without resorting to the skill of public speaking, so that the Cross of the Christ should not be reduced to nothing “Bible Yan version 1”


1 Without resorting to the skill of public speaking! Well, but it does not have to be a reason not to look for the best possible text of the Bible because it is on these texts that I lean to develop thoughts.
2 For the moment, here is where I am: I look for a Bible in French, the text of which should be the closest translation possible of the Latin text of Vulgate.
3 When I write “Bible Yan version 1 ", it means that I read several texts of the same passage and that no one completely satisfied me. Because of it, I tried to make a text the closest possible to what I think is being the truth.
4 I do not try to make a text of me; I try to approach the most possible of the truth by pure love for the truth.
5 If I notice an error or a possibility of improvement, I shall restore the same passage under a new version: version 2, version 3, etc.
6 When I preserve the text such as it is in some translation, I always quote the source.
7a Add to this the fact that after that I translate the French text into English whose language I do not dominate indeed. So be indulgent, sisters and brothers in the Christ.
b If somebody drowns himself or is suffering in a fire, I prefer a citizen who speaks badly and who calls the fire brigade or tries to help than a perfect speaker who lets the man drown himself or die carbonized and who continues quietly his road.

I Corinthians II, 1-5

I Corinthians II, 1 When I came to you, my brothers and sisters, to preach God's secret truth, I did not use big words and great learning. 2 For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially his death on the cross. 3 So when I came to you, I was weak and trembled all over with fear, 4 and my teaching and message were not delivered with skilful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God's Spirit. 5 Your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God's power.(Good News BIBLE, the Bible societies / Harpercollins)

Pope Paul VI is still alive and he is 112 years old!

( I, 1) Dear Christians all around the world! (I, 2) My intention in this blog will be to speak to you about GOD. My English is very simple but I don't worry about this. I speak enough English to be understood by people of good will. (I, 3) The GOD I will speak of is called by millions of people, OUR FATHER. Yes, GOD is really the FATHER of anyone that wants to be His son or His daughter and that observes the rules He gave us. (I, 4)If I speak about HIM it is because a long time ago he showed me He exists and He is stronger than I. Since then I have tried with more or less success to be a good christian and a better man. All this I will tell you in the days to come. (I, 5) If you read me you will understand my confusion sometimes with the current opinion totally different of mine. I am a Catholic Roman Survivalist Christian (we are not many but 'few' too, said Jesus, will be the number of people that will save their soul!).(I, 6) 'Catholic Roman Survivalist Christian', that means for us a Christian that believes that Pope Paul VI is still alive and consequently Mr Ratzinger who acts in the name of Benoît XVI is, in our humble opinion, not wanted by GOD. (I, 7) I don't judge Benoît XVI, the story of each soul is in the secret of GOD, I just say: « Benoît XVI, you are not my father, my father is Paul VI, still alive!» (I, 8) All this seems very strange, isn't it? - But, tell to me some people, if Paul VI still lives, he should be 112 years old? - Yes, and? Abraham lived 175 years and Adam 930 years (Gen V 5).
