Today’s world is increasingly rotten in its habits and activities. You look over here and see something bad, look over there and see something worse. You often don’t know where to look to avoid seeing obscenities because technology makes it easy to see immoral videos and pictures. If you want to avoid it, you have to avoid being around people. If you are traveling in any way, you are sure to find someone with a mobile phone watching perverse things. What can you do in this case? Well, have your own mobile phone or some other device to watch good and edifying things. This way you overcome the temptation to look at bad things. That is why the True Church of Christ produces many videos so that the faithful can distract themselves by watching publications that edify and encourage them to follow Christ and Mary Most Holy. The videos of the Palmarian Catholic Church represent Heaven, and the perverse videos represent the devil and Hell. Those who are engaged in watching wholesome and good videos will reach Heaven, while those who are engaged in watching immoral things await Hell.
Life is a struggle to save the soul. There are two teams: those who work under the direction of the Holy Ghost and those who work under the direction of Satan. The Holy Ghost inspires the Church to influence society so that there are Churches, schools where the true Faith is taught, and books to instruct the faithful and give them spiritual guidance. The mission of the Church is not only to encourage the faithful to come to Mass on Sundays; it is much more than that. The Church must inspire the faithful so that they act at all times in conformity with God’s will. That is why priestly vocations are extremely important. A holy priest can do immeasurable good for souls by his example and his spirit of prayer and penance. A holy priest is able to influence souls so powerfully that many children want to be like him and decide to imitate him and become priests. That is why Freemasonry was so determined to destroy priestly life and did so with such success that the true Priesthood was almost extinguished.
With the apostasy of the roman church, the true Priesthood was almost extinguished, but God, who is Wisdom itself, knew that Rome would lose the faith and had prepared a number of Priests faithful to tradition to go to the Sacred Place of the Apparitions of El Palmar de Troya, Spain, and there continue the Catholic Church faithful to Holy Tradition. Since the roman church ceased to be the True Church on the 6th of August 1978, there has never been a lack of holy and wise Priests in the Palmarian Catholic Church. Many of them have been canonized for their exemplary service and work in the Church. This Holy Week in El Palmar, we had the ordination and episcopal consecration of very young bishops. Many will mock them saying that they are too young, but Christ gave us an example of wisdom by teaching in the synagogue when He was just 12 years old. Through the mouth of a 12-year-old boy, the Holy Ghost spoke wonders. Now He speaks wonders through the young Palmarian Bishops. Some will ask, “What education do they have?” Well, those who don’t know need to study, but those who know don’t need to study.
It is clear that the Holy Ghost, in giving His light to souls, is the Teacher par excellence. If the Holy Ghost teaches with His heavenly light, then the young Bishops already have an extraordinary level of teaching and preparation. The soul surrendered to God through prayer and penance attains unsuspected graces, such as the gift of being able to teach the Faith and thus guide the faithful. Age does not matter. In the Palmarian Catholic Church, when the Pope sees that a friar is prepared for the priesthood, he has no qualms about ordaining and consecrating him, as long as he has a good knowledge of Church Doctrine. Moreover, the Church needs holy Priests for the most important duty of a Priest, which is the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The Roman Church apostatized by placing too much emphasis on study and too little interest in the spiritual life of seminarians. To avoid falling into sin, it is not necessary to have a university education, but one does need a good spirit of prayer and penance. Prayer and penance are the path to holiness. Besides, a young Palmarian Bishop will always be reading and acquiring knowledge through reading the Palmarian Catholic Doctrine. So, let no one criticize the young Palmarian Bishops. The day will come when they will teach and convert multitudes of people.
What has been said about the wisdom of the young Bishops of the Palmarian Church also applies to the Palmarian Nuns. By their lives of prayer and penance, the Nuns attain great gifts, such as the gift of teaching the Faith, and by their good example, they influence the spiritual life of the faithful of the Church. A Palmarian Nun is truly a spiritual treasure that brings incalculable blessings to humanity. It is impossible to describe and explain the immense value of the spiritual life of a Palmarian Nun. For all the good that a good Christian woman does by her works of virtue, it can never reach the value of the total immolation of a human being in abandoning her own will to submit to the will of a superioress in the religious life. The sacrifice is so great that no one is able to make it, except for she who has been called to religious life to be the spouse of Christ. We had a beautiful ceremony of the Perpetual Vows of three Palmarian Nuns on the 30th of March, Feast of Our Crowned Mother of Palmar, on the 52nd Anniversary of Her first Apparition in El Palmar. An interesting detail is that a short video of this ceremony gained more than a million views in a short time and now has almost 3 million views.
Our efforts to spread the True Faith have achieved great success, as we have said on other occasions. However, recently we have achieved previously unimaginable numbers of views. On one social media platform, a video has now reached 17 million views, and other videos also huge numbers as well. Clearly, Christ is making His Holy Church known to a great multitude of people to give them an opportunity for conversion.
There is a very large group of people who are deeply interested in the Palmarian Church, and are already striving to pray the Holy Penitential Rosary and trying to learn the doctrine of the Church and practice its holy customs. If all goes well, the followers of the Palmarian Catholic Church will be overjoyed with a significant number of conversions.
Many criticize our solemn Processions because we hold them inside the Cathedral, but there are reasons for everything. The next major feast day will be the 16th of July, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This time, the solemn Procession will depart through the main door of the Church at 9:00 p.m. and will pass through our spacious grounds. As long as the dress code is observed, those who wish to visit us are welcome to do so.
Our website has had a large number of visitors lately, doubling and sometimes tripling the normal numbers, due to the extensive media coverage of the Holy Palmarian Church. It appears that God wants His Holy Church to receive continuous publicity. It is very important to understand that Christ intensely loves His True Church, which is the Palmarian Catholic Church. Although He allows people to be misinformed and therefore mock the Palmarian Church, Christ nonetheless lovingly cares for His Church. He protects it and all its members. This is why the Palmarian faithful live happily amidst great contempt from those who spread negative information in the press, television, social media, etc.
