St. Ignatius Loyola: The Eucharist And The Chasuble Canon Benjamin Norman I.C.K.S.P.
The Saints’ Attributes Saint Ignatius Loyola is remembered in the first place as the founder of the Society of Jesus, or simply, the “Jesuits,” and one of the greatest saints of the CounterReformation. He was born in 1491 at the castle of Loyola, in the Spanish Basque region. As a youth and a young man he was quite affected and extravagant in his dress, and filled with dreams of military glory. He went on to become a soldier, and while defending the citadel of Pamplona against a French siege in 1521, his shin was shattered by a cannon ball. His garrison then lost courage and surrendered, however the French troops took good care of him and his leg was operated on. He was then put in convalescence. Ignatius’ health initially took a turn for the worse and he fell under a fever, but on the eve of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul his condition unexpectedly began improving. He asked for books of military feats but was brought the Lives of Christ and of the saints instead. Impressed, he began to think that he could rival all these We are pleased to have received many positive comments about the new magazine size of CatholicVoice.

holy men and women in works of penance. The seeds of inspiration to pursue a life of Christ-like perfection had been planted. One of his first resolutions was to complete his education. He humbly bore the embarrassment of studying among schoolboys far younger than he at Barcelona, and in 1526 went on to study philosophy at the University of Alcalá. In the winter of 1537 he set out for Rome with several companions, with the aim of offering his services to the Pope, during which he experienced a Heavenly vision of encouragement. It was shortly before or after this event that he had the idea to form a religious order under the title of “The Company of Jesus.” It was finally decided by Rome that they would be known as “The Society of Jesus,” and the Papal bull of their founding was promulgated the 27th September 1540. The Jesuits have always been distinguished by having in their constitutions the charter of specific apostolic works, including undertaking foreign missions at the pope’s bidding, the education of youth of all classes, the instruction of the ignorant and the poor, and ministering to the sick and to prisoners. One of the most important works of Saint Ignatius’ life was the publication of “The Spiritual Exercises,” a series of retreat-oriented meditations which to this day still form the core of many retreats all over the world, known in the saint’s honour as “Ignatian” retreats. These meditations are very concise; they are written as a handbook for a priest who explains them to the retreat-goers. Their goal is to help those on retreat to discern the will of God for their lives, and to obtain for them the courage and the strength to follow God’s will. The saint passed on to his eternal reward in Rome in the year 1556. He contracted the Roman fever and succumbed to it a short time later, on the 31st July of that year. It is on this day that his feast day is traditionally kept. He was canonised by Pope Gregory XV in 1622, and his body lies to this day under the Pozzi altar in the Church of the Gesù in Rome. Saint Ignatius Loyola is invoked as the patron of soldiers, educators, those participating in religious

retreats, as well as a host of dioceses in countries including Spain, the United States and the Philippines. He is a saint who spent a significant portion of his life in search of earthly glory, notably on the battlefield. His subsequent conversion and rapid growth in holiness remind us that the only glory that truly counts is that with which we hope to be crowned one day in Heaven, by Our Lord Himself. His attributes in Christian works of art are most often the Holy Eucharist, with the saint depicted during the celebration of his Mass, or with him experiencing a Heavenly vision in the course of the Mass. He is frequently shown in a very ornately-decorated and ample chasuble, the most prominent priestly vestment of the Mass. He is also frequently painted wearing a black priestly cassock and roman collar, with a black cape as well, sometimes with a badge with the letters “IHS”, an adaptation of the Greek abbreviation of the name of Jesus. One of the most well-known edifices erected in honour of this saint is the Basilica of Saint Ignatius Loyola, built next to the house where he was born in Azpeitia, in the Basque region of Spain. The house itself has been turned into a museum on the grounds of the basilica. Prayer: “O God, Who to spread the greater glory of Thy name, didst, by the means of blessed Ignatius, strengthen the Church militant with a new army: grant that with his help and through his example we may so fight on earth as to become worthy to be crowned with him in Heaven. Through Christ Our Lord, amen.”

12 MIND CONTROL

14th August 2020
The Mind Controllers Are After Your Children Part 3 - John Lacken Please pause for one moment and offer up one Ave for our bishops. Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen Jesus Christ is being profaned in the way that the most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is being offered in many of our churches. The Irish government and the insurance companies now set restrictions on how Catholics are to be allowed to worship Almighty God. In most of our Catholic churches in Ireland, Catholics are forbidden to receive Holy Communion according to the norms of the Catholic church. This is to comply with government directives and insurance company policies, but it is contrary to Church law. On page 8 of this issue, you will read that Bishop Athanasius Schneider has launched an International Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation, in response to these many abuses. On page 28, we also give brief details of some of the other abuses that people have called to tell us about. We encourage as many faithful Catholics as possible to write to their bishops if they are refused Holy Communion on the tongue or if they witness other liturgical abuses. We do not expect much to change on account of these letters, but it is important that faithful Catholics create a record of these abuses as a witness to our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. We a l s o e n c o u r a g e f a i t h f u l Catholics to support our Latin
Mass communities who continue to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with reverence for Our Blessed Lord and who continue to allow the faithful to kneel in worship and adoration of Him whom they will receive on the tongue. It is always possible that our Latin Masses could be taken away from us in these uncertain times, so now is the time to support these communities. If you are not a regular Latin Mass attendee, then now is also a good time to begin to experience the Mass as it has been celebrated for centuries, through times of plague, times of persecution, times of famine and times of war. It may take a little bit of getting used to, as one has to make an effort in order to be able to participate fully in the Latin Mass. But this effort will be more than generously rewarded by God. Please also support those diocesan priests who are still willing to give Holy Communion on the tongue. Satan is always on the lookout for priests to attack because he hates the sacramental work that they do and it is important for these priests to know of our support. It is always easy to be critical and there is never any shortage of critics when one seeks to promote the Catholic Faith, but apart from justified criticism which seeks to correct error, we must also seek to build up those who are struggling and to encourage our priests. What we are witnessing with regards to the ‘new’, corona virus method of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass should not really come as a surprise. These recent articles have been looking
at how the mind controllers, that is those who wish to undermine and destroy Christendom, carry out their plans. These people, and the organisations they found and fund, seek to destroy all that is Catholic. They serve their master, the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning, who has realised for a long time, that the main opposition to his plans comes from the teachings of the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ whom he hates. It is possible that some of those who do satan’s bidding do not fully realise what they are involved in. Indeed some of them may sincerely believe that what they are doing is inherently for the good of mankind. But sadly, they are deluded and deceived by their cunning master. As part of the plan to take down Christendom, it is necessary to break the Christian habits that have been formed over generations and to replace them with new habits which are dictated by the ruling classes. The global lockdowns achieved this purpose. The daily routines of citizens were completely disrupted, and faithful Catholics were forbidden to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or to go to their local church to pray and to worship Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The lock-down restrictions were lifted on condition that the citizens adopted new habits. The wearing of masks, which prevents us from seeing people’s faces, was first of all suggested and then became mandated by law with penalties for those who refuse to obey. We must observe social distancing. We must not shake hands with one another.

MIND CONTROL 13

School children are to be isolated from each other and will not be allowed to play any games which involve physical contact. No more Holy Communion on the tongue. There is another agenda behind these restrictions that is being hidden under the guise of protecting one another ’s health from an apparent grave danger. In the face of this alleged grave danger we are assured that our government will act as our saviour from evil. The Irish government has increased our dependency on their supposed charity, which they distribute from our pockets, and the government has sought to further weaken our dependency on Jesus Christ by declaring that religious services and practices are nonessential. The general unemployment benefit was increased by more that 50% from €203 per week to €350 per week. The government also introduced a scheme to pay up to 70% of employees wages. This creates an increased dependency on the government, and the government in turn, becomes ever more dependent on the financial bondsmen who lend them the enormous sums of money needed to pay these bills. We are being enslaved. During the lock-down, essential services were allowed to remain open, yet our Catholic churches were closed by our bishops. What this tells the general population is that the Catholic Church is a nonessential service which has no role in defending and protecting people from plagues or from any other troubles that may befall mankind. The Church is then portrayed as just another social and charitable institution which has no role to play in safeguarding mankind. The relentless propaganda tells you that the government, and only the government can save you from
From Amárach Government Survey - source gov.ie this harm. This is one of the statist errors spread by Russia. The Irish government closely monitors the reactions of Irish citizens to the ‘new normal’ that they wish to create, in order to make sure that their plans are effective. The market research company ‘Amárach’, whose chief executive officer was based in Leinster House as political director of the Fine Gael party from 2008 to 2010, is paid from our taxes to produce weekly reports on how well Irish citizens are complying with the government’s covid directives (see image from the report above). The report tracks where people get their ‘trusted; information from in relation to Covid-19. Not surprisingly, in this age of media control and propaganda, the top three sources are; the Department of Health; the HSE; and the World Health Organisation. The top media source for information is the government controlled RTE with the liberal Irish Times coming in third. Online, the heavily censored Facebook and Twitter are the top sources for covid news. Nothing fake to report there. The totalitarians seek to have total dominance. No dissent is permitted
in certain areas, and only a little dissent is tolerated in other areas. These government funded national surveys are carried out in order to check the rates of compliance. I do not believe that the Gardaí will be called in to enforce the unjust laws that insist on the wearing of face masks whilst shopping, because the reports have shown them that there is already a growing 70% compliance rate with the mask directives. Strict, heavy-handed enforcement in this case, could prove counter-productive to their efforts at ushering in the ‘new normal’ In order to defeat the ‘rebels without a mask’, they tell us in their official literature and mask propaganda, that we should not judge those who cannot wear face masks. This effectively neutralises those who seek to go shopping barefaced as a form of protest. The government seeks to diminish belief in, and reverence for, Jesus Christ, and thus the government ban on receiving Holy Communion on the tongue which is being enforced by our bishops. Those who insist on distributing Holy Communion in the hand only, accuse those who resist
