Gospel According to Saint Matthew Chapter 1 18-25

[18] Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. [19] Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. [20] But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

[16] The husband of Mary: The Evangelist gives us rather the pedigree of St. Joseph, than that of the blessed Virgin, to conform to the custom of the Hebrews, who in their genealogies took no notice of women; but as they were near akin, the pedigree of the one sheweth that of the other.

[21] And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: [23] Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [24] And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife. [25] And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

[25] Till she brought forth her firstborn son: From these words Helvidius and other heretics most impiously inferred that the blessed Virgin Mary had other children besides Christ; but St. Jerome shews, by divers examples, that this expression of the Evangelist was a manner of speaking usual among the Hebrews, to denote by the word until, only what is done, without any regard to the future. Thus it is said, Genesis 8. 6 and 7, that Noe sent forth a raven, which went forth, and did not return till the waters were dried up on the earth. That is, did not return any more. Also Isaias 46. 4, God says: I am till you grow old. Who dare infer that God should then cease to be: Also in the first book of Machabees 5. 54, And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain till they had returned in peace. That is, not one was slain before or after they had returned. God saith to his divine Son: Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Shall he sit no longer after his enemies are subdued? Yea and for all eternity. St. Jerome also proves by Scripture examples, that an only begotten son, was also called firstborn, or first begotten: because according to the law, the firstborn males were to be consecrated to God; Sanctify unto me, saith the Lord, every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, etc. Ex. 13. 2.

[18] Christi autem generatio sic erat: cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto. [19] Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam. [20] Haec autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est.

[21] Pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum. [22] Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem: [23] Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium: et vocabunt nomen ejus Emmanuel, quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus. [24] Exsurgens autem Joseph a somno, fecit sicut praecepit ei angelus Domini, et accepit conjugem suam. [25] Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum: et vocavit nomen ejus Jesum.

Isaias (Isaiah) Chapter 7 English

Isaias (Isaiah) Chapter 7 English

The prophet assures king Achaz that the two kings his enemies shall not take Jerusalem. A virgin shall conceive and bear a son.

[1] And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Joathan, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, that Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem, to fight against it: but they could not prevail over it. [2] And they told the house of David, saying: Syria hath rested upon Ephraim, and his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind. [3] And the Lord said to Isaias: Go forth to meet Achaz, thou and Jasub thy son that is left, to the conduit of the upper pool, a in the way of the fuller' s held. [4] And thou shalt say to him: See thou be quiet: fear not, and let not thy heart be afraid of the two tails of these fire brands, smoking with the wrath of the fury of Rasin king of Syria, and of the son of Romelia. [5]Because Syria hath taken counsel against thee, unto the evil of Ephraim and the son of Romelia, saying:

[6] Let us go up to Juda, and rouse it up, and draw it away to us, and make the son of Tabeel king in the midst thereof. [7] Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, and this shall not be. [8] But the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Basin: and within threescore and five years, Ephraim shall cease to be a people: [9] And the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria the son of Romelia. If you will not believe, you shall not continue. [10] And the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying:

[11] Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. [12]And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord. [13] And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also? [14] Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel. [15] He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

[16] For before the child know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, the land which thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face of her two kings. [17] The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days that have not come since the time of the separation of Ephraim from Juda with the king of the Assyrians. [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly, that is in the uttermost parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. [19] And they shall come, and shall all of them rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all places set with shrubs, and in all hollow places. [20] In that day the Lord shall shave with a razor that is hired by them that are beyond the river, by the king of the Assyrians, the head and the hairs of the feet, and the whole beard.

[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep. [22]And for the abundance of milk he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that shall be left in the midst of the land. [23] And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, at a thousand pieces of silver, shall become thorns and briers. [24]With arrows and with bows they shall go in thither: for briars and thorns shall be in all the land. [25]And as for all the hills that shall be raked with a rake, the fear of thorns and briers shall not come thither, but they shall be for the ox to feed on, and the lesser cattle to tread upon.

Isaias Chapter 7 Latin

Prophecy Of Isaias (Isaiah)

Chapter 7 The prophet assures king Achaz that the two kings his enemies shall not take Jerusalem. A virgin shall conceive and bear a son. [1] Et factum est in diebus Achaz, filii Joathan, filii Oziae, regis Juda, ascendit Rasin, rex Syriae, et Phacee, filius Romeliae, rex Israel, in Jerusalem, ad praeliandum contra eam: et non potuerunt [2]debellare eam. Et nuntiaverunt domui David, dicentes: Requievit Syria super Ephraim. Et commotum est cor ejus, et cor populi ejus, sicut moventur ligna silvarum a facie venti. [3] Et dixit Dominus ad Isaiam: Egredere in occursum Achaz, tu et qui derelictus est Jasub, filius tuus, ad extremum aquaeductus piscinae superioris in via agri Fullonis; [4] et dices ad eum: Vide ut sileas; noli timere, et cor tuum ne formidet a duabus caudis titionum fumigantium istorum, in ira furoris Rasin, regis Syriae, et filii Romeliae; [5] eo quod consilium inierit contra te Syria in malum, Ephraim, et filius Romeliae, dicentes: [6] Ascendamus ad Judam, et suscitemus eum, et avellamus eum ad nos, et ponamus regem in medio ejus filium Tabeel. [7] Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Non stabit, et non erit istud; [8] sed caput Syriae Damascus, et caput Damasci Rasin; et adhuc sexaginta et quinque anni, et desinet Ephraim esse populus; [9] et caput Ephraim Samaria, et caput Samariae filius Romeliae. Si non credideritis, non permanebitis. [10] Et adjecit Dominus loqui ad Achaz, dicens: [11] Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo, in profundum inferni, sive in excelsum supra. [12] Et dixit Achaz: Non petam, et non tentabo Dominum. [13] Et dixit: Audite ergo, domus David. Numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo? [14] Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum: ecce virgo concipiet, et pariet filium, et vocabitur nomen ejus Emmanuel. [15] Butyrum et mel comedet, ut sciat reprobare malum, et eligere bonum. [16] Quia antequam sciat puer reprobare malum et eligere bonum, derelinquetur terra quam tu detestaris a facie duorum regum suorum. [17] Adducet Dominus super te, et super populum tuum, et super domum patris tui, dies qui non venerunt a diebus separationis Ephraim a Juda, cum rege Assyriorum. [18] Et erit in die illa: sibilabit Dominus muscae quae est in extremo fluminum Aegypti, et api quae est in terra Assur; [19] et venient, et requiescent omnes in torrentibus vallium, et in cavernis petrarum, et in omnibus frutetis, et in universis foraminibus. [20] In die illa radet Dominus in novacula conducta in his qui trans flumen sunt, in rege Assyriorum, caput et pilos pedum, et barbam universam. [21] Et erit in die illa: nutriet homo vaccam boum, et duas oves, [22] et prae ubertate lactis comedet butyrum; butyrum enim et mel manducabit omnis qui relictus fuerit in medio terrae. [23] Et erit in die illa: omnis locus ubi fuerint mille vites, mille argenteis, in sinas et in vepres erunt. [24] Cum sagittis et arcu ingredientur illuc: vepres enim et spinae erunt in universa terra. [25] Et omnes montes qui in sarculo sarrientur, non veniet illuc terror spinarum et veprium: et erit in pascua bovis, et in conculcationem pecoris. source: drbo

GENESIS III 15

¹³ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'

¹⁴ Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this, Accursed be you of all animals wild and tame! On your belly you will go and on dust you will feed as long as you live.

¹⁵ I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; it will bruise your head and you will strike its heel.'

¹⁶ To the woman he said: I shall give you intense pain in childbearing, you will give birth to your children in pain. Your yearning will be for your husband, and he will dominate you.

¹⁷ To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat, Accursed be the soil because of you! Painfully will you get your food from it as long as you live.

¹⁸ It will yield you brambles and thistles, as you eat the produce of the land.

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face will you earn your food, until you return to the ground, as you were taken from it. For dust you are and to dust you shall return.'

²⁰ The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live.

²¹ Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them.

²² Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!'

- Juanito, mon cher enfant où allez-vous ? demanda-t-elle. 

- Ma Dame et mon enfant, répondit-il dans son dialecte, je vais à la Messe à l’église et étudier et apprendre les divins mystères que nous enseigne le prêtre. 

-Je veux que tu saches avec certitude, mon cher fils, que je suis la parfaite et toujours Vierge Marie, Mère du vrai Dieu, de qui provient toute vie, le Seigneur de toutes choses, créateur du ciel et de la terre. J’ai un immense désir que l’on construise, en mon honneur, un temple dans lequel je manifesterai mon amour, ma compassion et ma protection. Je suis votre mère pleine de pitié et d’amour pour vous et tous ceux qui m’aiment, me font confiance et recourent à moi. J’écouterai leurs plaintes et je soulagerai leur affliction et leurs souffrances. 

« Écoute ce que je vais te dire, et que cela pénètre ton cœur: Ne laisse jamais quoi que ce soit te déprimer, te décourager. Ne sois pas troublé ou écrasé par ton chagrin. Ne crains aucune maladie, vexation, anxiété ou douleur. Ne suis-je pas ici, moi ta Mère? N'es-tu pas sous mon ombre, sous ma protection ? Ne suis-je pas ta fontaine de vie ? N'es-tu pas blotti dans les plis de mon manteau ? Dans mes bras ? Y a-t-il autre chose dont tu aurais besoin ? » (décembre 1531)

GARABANDAL

Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharistic. You should turn the Wrath of God away from yourselves by your efforts. If you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts He will pardon you. I, your mother, through the intercession of St Michael the Archangel ask you to amend your lives.

You are now receiving the last warnings. I love you very much and do not want your condemnation. Pray to us with sincerity and we shall grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the passion of Jesus.

Our Mother Mary through the intercession of St Michael GARABANDAL
