I’d like to post here a couple videos that recently went up, but not on my own YouTube channel, so my subscribers would not have been alerted: an interview with Fr. Mark Goring and a defense of the Era of Peace against those who attack it, erroneously claiming it is the heresy of Millenarianism. You can click those links or you can see the videos embedded at the bottom of this post.

A certain priest I’ve often quoted has just had published a lengthy two-part criticism of Fr. Michel Rodrigue (in addition to the emails against Fr. Michel that he sent out months ago). I’d like to preempt the inevitable flood of emails I’ll get forwarding this article to me by saying right now that I am aware of this article and I can’t say I’m planning on responding to it. As I said in my last post on this matter, I really cannot afford to devote more time to defending/explaining Fr. Michel or responding to the various issues that surround him.
As I’ve said so many times already; I’m not at all certain of the authenticity of Fr. Michel’s prophecies, nor am I even convicted of their authenticity. I simply think they’re worth noting, discerning, and alerting others to just in case. While I share many of the same concerns regarding Fr. Michel’s prophecies that readers have emailed to me, I still simply have not been able to honestly consider any of these concerns as sufficiently grave — nor any of the criticisms of him that are out there as sufficiently grave — to dismiss Fr. Michel’s prophecies out of hand. And I am, frankly, rather dumbfounded that so many Catholics are sodead set on opposing Fr. Michel. For the umpteenth time: He is NOT telling us to go and build refuges (he’s saying they already exist), and he is NOT telling us to abandon our lives after the Warning (he’s just saying follow your Guardian Angel –– pretty good advice!). Rather, he’s telling us to go to confession, consecrate ourselves to the holy family, and pray the Rosary every day.
If his prophecies are authentic, that’s darn good advice.
If his prophecies are inauthentic, that’s darn good advice.
If his prophecies are authentic, we’ll know that within the next couple months.
If his prophecies are inauthentic, we’ll know that within the next couple months.
So, as I said in my response to Dr. Miravalle’s 10 Points (10 Points I still consider erroneous even in light of this most recent article here mentioned), why not just “wait and see”? (And, in the meantime, take Fr. Michel’s clearly solid advice?)
Frances Hogan, whom you may know from her beautiful and edifying teachings on Sacred Scripture that are often featured on EWTN, has been rallying souls in Ireland — and, indeed, around the whole world — to consecrate themselves to the Divine Will tomorrow, on the Feast of the Assumption (August 15th). I encourage all to join in this consecration!! You can listen to Frances’ excellent teachings on the Divine Will at her website, www.FrancesHogan.com.
I also want to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for promoting the short video ( https://youtu.be/Gtwz0mIukLQ ) I made on Luisa! It is indeed really getting the Divine Will message out there as I had hoped and prayed. I can tell from YouTube analytics that the majority of the exposure is coming from people simply spreading the message through email/social media/forums/etc., but I can also tell that the paid promotion definitely helped. So my deepest gratitude, as well, to all those who so generously donated to help with that! I want to especially thank C.P. (who I am keeping anonymous for now in case she wishes to remain that way) for her incredible generosity. May God reward her and all of you working so hard to proclaim the Kingdom!!! And I know that He will.
But as the purpose of this post was to promote tomorrow’s consecration, I’d like to conclude by sharing with you what Jesus said to Luisa on the Feast of the Assumption in the year 1925:
The true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will. It was the human will that closed Heaven, broke the bonds with its Creator, made miseries and sorrow enter the field, and put an end to the feast that the creature was to enjoy in Heaven. Now, this creature, Queen of all, by doing the Will of the Eternal One always and in everything – even more, it can be said that Her life was Divine Will alone – opened the Heavens, bound Herself to the Eternal One, and restored in Heaven the feasts with the creature. Every act She did in the Supreme Will was a feast that She started in Heaven, it was suns that She formed to adorn this feast, it was melodies that She sent to delight the Celestial Jerusalem. So, the true cause of this feast is the Eternal Will operating and fulfilled in my Celestial Mother. It operated such prodigies in Her as to astonish Heaven and earth, chain the Eternal One with indissoluble bonds of love, and capture the Word even into Her womb. The very Angels, enraptured, repeated among themselves: ‘From where comes so much glory, so much honor, such greatness and prodigies never before seen, in this excelling Creature? Yet, it is from the exile that She is coming.’ Astonished, they recognized the Will of their Creator as Life operating in Her; and, trembling, they said: ‘Holy, Holy, Holy – honor and glory to the Will of Our Sovereign Lord. And glory, and trice Holy – She who let this Supreme Will operate.’
So, it is my Will that, more than anything, was and is celebrated on the day of the Assumption into Heaven of my Most Holy Mother. It was my Will alone that made Her ascend so high as to distinguish Her among all. Everything else would have been as nothing, had She not possessed the prodigy of my Will. It was my Will that gave Her divine fecundity and made Her the Mother of the Word. It was my Will that made Her see and embrace all creatures together, becoming the Mother of all, and loving all with a love of Divine Maternity. And making Her the Queen of all, It made Her rule and dominate. On that day, my Will received the first honors, the glory and the abundant fruit of Its work in Creation, and It began Its feast, which It never interrupts, for the glorification of Its operating in my beloved Mother. And even though Heaven was opened by Me, and many Saints were already in possession of the Celestial Fatherland when the Celestial Queen was assumed into Heaven, however, She Herself was the primary cause, having fulfilled the Supreme Will in everything, and therefore we waited for She who had honored It so much and contained the true prodigy of the Most Holy Will, to make the first feast for the Supreme Volition. Oh! how the whole of Heaven magnified, blessed and praised the Eternal Will, upon seeing this sublime Queen enter the Empyreum, in the midst of the Celestial Court, all circumfused by the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition! They saw Her all studded with the power of the Supreme Fiat; there had been not even a heartbeat in Her which did not have this Fiat impressed on it. And, astonished, they looked at Her and said to Her: ‘Ascend, ascend higher. It is right that She who so much honored the Supreme Fiat, and through whom we find ourselves in the Celestial Fatherland, have the highest throne and be our Queen.’ And the greatest honor that my Mother received, was to see the Divine Will glorified.”
I would, however, be remiss to not share what Jesus told Luisa earlier within that same diary entry on August 15, 1925; though I will paraphrase it here for the sake of brevity. After giving an astounding exposition on how the Divine Will operates in all created things; especially how all of material creation is created for man and is, as it were, honored to serve man, particularly a soul who lives in the Divine Will…. He goes on to say how, when man sins so gravely (as he does today more than ever before in history), he casts himself down so low that the elements themselves, in a certain sense, become “superior” to man and chastise man (obviously, this is not because anything in creation can ever surpass man in its own dignity; it is merely because natural things below man lack reason and free will, thus they cannot possibly sin and thereby detach themselves from God as man can). And it is precisely these Chastisements of which the world now stands on the very brink. Mark Mallett and I discussed that in our most recent webcast:
Here at last is the long awaited project!! https://youtu.be/Gtwz0mIukLQ. It is my ardent desire that this video, with your help, will reach many millions of souls, as I’ve finally managed to produce something short enough to have a chance of “going viral.”
Today is the Feast of the Portiuncula; the day on which St. Francis of Assisi received his command from God to rebuild the Church. That command, God speaks to you today… now that the time for the Restoration of the Church through the Reign of the Divine Will is at hand.
As I always say, and I hope you trust me that I mean it (I do) — I have no desire to promote myself; I am certainly the least worthy person in the world to be a bearer of this earth-shattering message of the Divine Will, and if there was any video already out there promoting it that was 1) Under 10 minutes, 2) Geared towards introducing people who know nothing about it, 3) At least somewhat professional and engaging, 4) Up-to-date with the most important recent information (e.g. the publication of The Sun of My Will), 5) Focusing on what is most inspiring and fundamental in the message …. then, instead of making my own video, I’d just be promoting that one. (I sure didn’t want to have to make this: it was an enormous labor of love for me to learn and undertake the video editing, get the software, compile the countless clips,acquire the stock footage and audio, film other footage, etc.) But since I know of no such video in existence, I figured I had to make it myself.
Please remember: all of the calls of Heaven are utterly urgent, but the ultimate key to them all is precisely these revelations on the Divine Will entrusted to The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta. It is the Divine Will that gives infinite power to the various devotions and practices that Heaven is asking of us (e.g. the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Fasting, Consecration to and Devotion to the Holy Family). It is only these revelations to Luisa on the Divine Will that not only speak of the coming Era, but, moreso, through the very power of the proclamation of the revelations themselves, bring about that Era – first in the hearts of individual believers, and soon over the whole world.
If you want the Chastisements to be mitigated as much as possible and the Era of Peace to come as quickly as possible (and, along with it, the Salvation and Sanctification of souls — which of course is always our ultimate goal), then the single thing you can do to most powerfully and rapidly ensure that these goals are attained is to proclaim the Divine Will. With this video, I hope, there is finally something that has a shot at this very proclamation “going viral.” If this the proclamation of the Divine Will does reach the whole world — and it’s up to you to make that happen — then I assure you, you can just watch God operate in the world more astoundingly than you ever thought possible. Today.
What you can do to help:
Please click on the link above (or again here) to open the video within YouTube itselfso that you can give it a “thumbs up” (that is, a “like”) and perhaps make a comment as well. This will help YouTube’s algorithms promote it more
Post it to social media!! I have no Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., so I’m relying on you guys to get this “trending” on these platforms!
Email it out to people
Please don’t feel pressured to do this, but if you like, you can donate. The Divine Will shall primarily spread not by money, but by souls filled with love and zeal proclaiming it. That being said, paid promotion doesn’t hurt, and thanks to some donations I received recently (a special thanks to Janette, Joanne, and Teresa!) I was able to afford some stock footage and I’m finally able to afford to do a little paid promotion. If you’d like to contribute to that promotion, I’ll assume that any donations made via the link above for the next few days are earmarked for the promotion of this video (unless otherwise noted). Note: the donation will say it’s going to “St Joseph Mechanical Solutions LLC” or perhaps to my wife, Regina’s, email address. But that’s actually just my paypal account and I’ll indeed use the donation to promote this video. Again, here’s the link to donate if you’d like to do that

Perhaps a few people who are already well acquainted with Luisa and who watch this video may be tempted to take issue with what it leaves out. Indeed, in this video I do not focus on the Chastisements, or on the more difficult aspects of Living in the Divine Will. Please understand that we must proclaim the Divine Will with what is especially inspiring about it. I have not been at all quiet about all the other aspects of the message: just see my free eBook, The Crown of Sanctity, if you need to be reassured of that. But consider, for example, the matter of proclaiming even the Faith itself: no wise evangelist proclaims the Gospel by first delineating a detailed and rigorous explanation of all the virtues one must have to fully live the Gospel, nor does he lead by quoting the many strong condemnations of various vices one finds throughout the New Testament, or the apocalyptic discourses of Our Lord in the Gospel of Luke that prophesy the great trials. Rather, any wise evangelist begins his proclamation with the kerygma — that is, announcing the saving power of Jesus Christ in His Incarnation and Redemption. So too, in proclaiming the Divine Will, we must lead with the most exciting and inspiring fundamentals of the message: the fact that the greatest sanctity possible — which brings along with it perfect and uninterrupted love, joy, and peace — is now available for the asking, and that the universal reign of this very sanctity, which is none other than the fulfillment of the Our Father prayer itself, is about to dawn upon the whole world… as soon as enough people want it and ask for it.
This is the most astounding message one can comprehend; it is the greatest possible news imaginable, and it just so happens to be completely and irrefutably true. In proclaiming it, Jesus wants us to take advantage of how groundbreaking and earth shattering this message is. TAKE HIM UP ON THAT OFFER!
Let’s make sure that every person on the planet has seen this video.
PS: Although creating it cost me dearly (in money, time, and effort), I don’t make a penny off of this video being watched. I’ve completely disabled YouTube’s “Monetization” feature for my channel, so no ads should ever appear with it. If they do, they were put there by YouTube without my approval (they sometimes find ways to sneak ads in there unfortunately).
PSS: Yes, although there is much stock footage, my own 4 kids also had their acting debut in this video ;-)
