Saints Come to the Rescue of the Little Remnant Following Heaven
Message of St. Anthony of Padua given to Mario D'Ignazio, Seer of the Blessed Garden of Brindisi, Italy on August 3, 2023
Pray, pray. Strip away the distorted self for God.
Put God at the center of your life. Abandon the world, evil, sin. Saints come to the rescue of the Little Remnant following Heaven, Church of the Last Times formed by members who will sanctify themselves in time.
Purify yourselves by praying the ROSARY. The Rosary works miracles in you.
Believe, believe in Jesus the Good Shepherd. He saves, frees, heals those who invoke Him with a sincere heart.
Follow the Divine Mother, the Immaculate Conception, Queen and Coredemptrix. She was the First Tabernacle of Jesus, First Christian and Disciple of CHRIST-GOD.
Offer up rosaries, rosaries, rosaries.
Love the Child Jesus, adore Him, imitate Him.
The Times are iniquitous, full of evil. The ten kings of the Antichrist will rule the world. Do not fear, go ahead. Do not despair, go forward.
Do not retreat, seek peace of heart. Praise Yahweh, praise God. The Antichrist will come at the End Times.
Prepare hearts to receive the Divine Spirit, the New Pentecost will be there. Pray, love, fast, make amends.
Entrust yourselves to God the Father Most High. Believe in the Gospel, meditate on it.
Pray for those who err. Correct with charity.
Pray to the Child Jesus. Amen.
Prayer to the Child Jesus
given by St. Anthony of Padua to Mario D'Ignazio on Aug. 3, 2023
Divine Child, Eternal Son of the Father, accept my prayer.
Hear my supplication and grant it.
Be for me strength and protection in trial, in distress. Leave me not alone, comfort me, deliver me from iniquity.
Purify me, make me one with You, Holy Word.
Glory to You, honor and power to Your exalted Name.
Bless me and all mankind in danger of losing faith.
Guide Your flock, give peace to afflicted hearts. Amen.
Saint Anthony of Padua
About six hundred and fifty years ago, in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, a boy was born who was named Ferdinand at his baptism. He was usually called Ferdi for short.
Soon it turned out that Ferdi was a bright boy. At school he was far ahead of the other children, and the answers he gave were always correct. This was because he paid close attention in class. He also read all the books he could get his hands on. So it is understandable that when, at the age of fifteen, Ferdi was given the choice of becoming an officer or a statesman, he chose neither, but went to the monastery just so that he could keep on learning. In fact, he wanted to become a great scholar.
When Ferdi had studied for eight years, he received holy priestly ordination, and soon after that he was to become a professor. However, things turned out differently. Just at that time, the mortal remains of five Franciscans, who shortly before had suffered martyrdom as missionaries in Africa, were brought back to Portugal with great festivities. At the corpses of the heroes of the faith, Ferdi came to the conclusion that it would be far more honorable to become a martyr. He therefore entered the Franciscan Order, and from then on he took the new monastic name of Anthony.
From the first hour that Antony spent with the Franciscans, he was eager to go to Africa as a missionary, to suffer martyrdom for the faith as quickly as possible. Ambition drove the young religious on this erroneous path; he wanted to become famous, no matter what the cost.
Finally, the superiors gave in to the persistent urging of the striver. Gladly, Antony boarded the ship in Lisbon and sailed, as he thought, towards fame, but things turned out differently. Everything went wrong for him. He arrived in Africa seriously ill. For a long time he hovered between life and death. There was no possibility of preaching the Gospel, nor of martyrdom, and so the conviction rose in Anthony that God did not want him to be a missionary. At the same time, he was increasingly filled with the thought that the true and real glory of a Christian consists in poverty and humility and lowliness. It was the same with Christ, who was God and became man. From now on, therefore, the young man with a big heart wanted to strive for this glory alone.
Antonius went home. But a storm drove the sailing ship off the right path, and instead of landing in Lisbon, the ship was stranded on the Italian coast. Again, everything had gone wrong, but now Antony was on the straight road to true Christian glory in lowliness, for in Italy no one knew him, no one knew of his scholarship, and so poor had he become that he had nothing but the torn habit of his order.
Then Anthony decided to walk to Assisi, where at that time a large number of friars gathered around the holy founder of the order, Francis. The young friar set out, and when he arrived in Assisi, strange and unnoticed, he disappeared in the crowd of friars, for no one knew anything of his scholarship, and when the assembly dispersed, one of the superiors, out of kindness, took care of the apparently ignorant friar and brought him to a poor monastery. There the stranger was to assist the older monks as a serving brother. There, then, Antony had found glory in lowliness according to Christ's example.
But after a year, according to God's providence, everything turned out quite differently again. Once upon a time there was a primicentennial. Many friars, Franciscans and Dominicans, were present, and the bishop asked one after another to preach a solemn sermon. But one after the other apologized, saying that he had not studied the sermon and that he could not speak unprepared. At last the bishop called upon the brother Antony, whom everyone thought ignorant. Antony resisted at first, saying that he would rather clean the kitchen dishes, he was good at that. But when the bishop insisted, the simple brother began to speak. At first he spoke simply and plainly, so that the Franciscans were already beginning to feel ashamed before the Dominicans who were present. But then the fire came over the preacher, and he spoke so warmly and enlighteningly that all declared afterwards that they had never heard such glorious words in their lives.
From that hour Antony had no rest. Everywhere he had to preach. Wherever he appeared, people rushed in droves. Up to thirty thousand listeners were sometimes counted at his sermons. His words were quite sharp when necessary. But more often he spoke with love and gentleness. Countless people changed their lives in response to his sermons. Envy and hatred disappeared, and where previously evil deeds were rampant, good works flourished. Antony especially took care of the poor and the oppressed, and he still does, because otherwise millions of people would not turn in thousands of needs to the one who became one of the greatest emergency helpers of all times.
On June 13, 1231, St. Anthony died in Padua, where he spent the last part of his life and where he was buried, after a life full of work in the service of God and man.
