Virgin Mary,
Mother of the Church
by Father Luigi Villa Th.D.
Many Christians are now fleeing from the "Mother Church" because they no longer love or pray to the "Mother of the Church."
Even in the new texts of the Holy Mass, unfortunately, the most holy name of the Mother of God is encountered very few times. Already in the "Confiteor," she is no longer mentioned. Also, at the end of the offertory, the prayer to the Holy Trinity and, therefore, also the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was abolished. After the "Pater Noster," the phrase "the intercession of the Blessed ever Virgin Mary" has been removed from the new version of the "Libera Nos."
What purpose, then, does the Council's declaration serve, that Mary "collaborated in the work of the Redeemer in a completely unique way, in obedience, faith, hope and with ardent love, to restore the supernatural life of souls? Therefore, is she not our mother in the order of Grace"?
[“…In this singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope and burning charity in the work of the Saviour in giving back supernatural life to souls. Wherefore she is our mother in the order of grace. This maternity of Mary in the order of grace began with the consent which she gave in faith at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross and lasts until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this salvific duty, but by her constant intercession continued to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation.(15*) By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and cultics, until they are led into the happiness of their true home. Therefore, the Blessed Virgin is invoked by the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix.” Lumen Gentium n. 61-62.]
What is the point of the Fathers' confession that Mary "occupies the highest place in the Holy Church after Christ and is, nevertheless, especially close to us" (n. 54), if continuous efforts are made to obscure this truth?
In the conciliar text, the Fathers also warned: "All the Christian faithful should earnestly implore the Mother of God, that she, who helped with her prayers in the beginnings of the Church, now exalted in heaven above all the Blessed and all the Angels, in communion with all the Saints, may intercede with her Son, until all the families of the nations are happily united in one people of God, to the honor of the Most Holy and undivided Trinity" (n. 69).
Clearly, the conciliar text is not open to misinterpretation; and therefore it is clear that those who no longer want to understand the Immaculate Conception give a different interpretation to original sin; it is clear that those who want to "explain" Mary's virginity only as a symbol do not feel able to affirm the divinity of Christ; it is clear that those who want to "rethink" the Assumption of Mary also question the resurrection.
It's strange that these people call certain truths concerning the Virgin Mary "peripheral," as if they could be separated from authentic Christian [Catholic] faith. Strange! Because whoever attacks the former also attacks the latter. Isn't the phrase "born of the Virgin Mary" even now present in the "Apostles' Creed"?
In the face of such a mystery, every human word, that is irreverent, should be silent.
Vatican II said of this mystery: In the order of Grace, Mary is our mother, since she took part in the work of the Redeemer in a singular way, in obedience, in faith, in hope and with ardent love, to restore the supernatural life of souls.
And this "restoration" the Virgin has always done, through the Christian centuries. Even today, bent over the world, as over a seriously ill son, she has asked (Lourdes, Fatima) and is asking for: prayer, penance, sacrifice, the recitation of the Holy Rosary, reparatory Communion. But the world, nowadays, thinks of everything except praying, doing penance, reforming one's life.
And so, the devil is carrying out his plan: Bishops betray the Faith; Catholic theologians question the Divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary Most Holy, the existence of angels and demons, original sin, hell, the primacy of Peter and hold a hundred other errors of dogma and morals.
A real cesspool!
One hundred years ago, a defrocked priest, a Freemason and apostate, the former Canon Roca, or Rocca, launched a diabolical plan in France. Through subversive writings, he envisioned and proposed a renewal of the Catholic Church, to be implemented along these lines: suppression of the cassock; marriage of priests; revision of dogmas, in view of universal progress; upheaval of the Liturgy; reduction of the Eucharist to a simple symbol of universal communion; abdication of the old Papacy and the old Priesthood, in order to form the new priests of the future; professing a super-religion, humanitarian and socialistic.
The head of the Satanic Order of the Illuminati, Nubius, wrote: "We have undertaken corruption on a grand scale; the corruption of the people through the clergy, and the corruption of the clergy through us, for the purpose of burying the Church"
More than the work of man, it is the work of the devil, who is playing his best cards and whose hatred of God makes him dream of suppressing Him, in order to reign supreme over the world.
And how many, today, help him to triumph!
Thus, distanced from prayer, from the Sacraments, from Grace, Russia – as Our Lady of Fatima predicted – will remain the scourge, chosen by God, to punish humanity.
Progressive apostasy has now led to the apostasy of religion, to a frightening disorientation in the clergy and religious, who will drag countless souls to perdition.
Unfortunately, even the warnings and invitations to conversion from Our Lady of Fatima have remained a dead letter.
Just look at the spread of immoral women's fashion, marital infidelity - legalized almost everywhere with divorce; the pornography in the press, cinema and performances in general; the impressive increase in homosexuality; look at the Satanic trade of the "pill"; drugs, which are undermining even genetics; the ever-growing betrayal of much of the clergy (rebellions, marriages, perversions) and of countless religious souls...
"But, in the end, my Heart will triumph!", the Virgin Mary assured, at the conclusion of Her message in Fatima. The Church of Her Son, that is, will not be buried, because Christ's assurance always holds true: "the gates of hell shall not prevail."
The devil has declared war on God, but GOD will always be the VICTOR!
And so, O "Mother of the Church," Virgin Mary, thou who "alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world," ["cunctas haereses sola interemisti in universo mundo"] conquer, again and soon, this new Satanic seed of discord, that is demolishing, piece by piece, the Church of Thy Son!
