#198 – KNEEL BEFORE YOUR GOD
"For every knee shall be bowed to Me" - Isaiah 45:24
KNEEL BEFORE YOUR GOD
“My children, kneel before your God in the Eucharist. Do not stand like you
stand in meeting halls, but kneel and give Him a just love and observance of
honor.” - Our Lady, July 14, 1979
BEND YOUR KNEES
"In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My
Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled
to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My
House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December
31, 1975
BOW YOUR KNEES
“If you do not bow your knees before your God, you shall be brought down
forcefully to your knees. Clergy! Laymen! Forcefully to your knees!” - Jesus,
July 25, 1979
KNEEL IN PRAYER
"The heads of all households--mothers, fathers will bend your knee now in prayer
with your children. You must now appear to your God with a humble heart, do
penance, make atonement and many sacrifices." - St. Michael, June 18, 1975
HONOR YOUR GOD
"I stress, I repeat the way given by the Father for you in the days ahead:
prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Much is needed. You must bend your knees to
honor your God.” - Our Lady, July 15, 1974
RETURN TO YOUR KNEES
“Do you think that the Eternal Father will allow you to recrucify My Son? I
say to you as your Mother to make amends, do penance, return to your knees,
remove yourselves from your involvement in worldly pleasures and gain and
power—political aspirations for the enslavement of mankind.” - Our Lady,
August 4, 1979
“SO FEW NOW BEND THEIR
KNEES”
"Your world will soon be engrossed in a major catastrophe, such as never
been seen by mankind before--a war so great that none shall escape the effects
of this great catastrophe.
"What can you do, My child? You can pray and pray. Be on your knees. So few
now bend their knees. War is a punishment for man's sins.” - Our Lady, August
14, 1974
“HE WILL NOT LISTEN”
"Pride, arrogance, lust, money, murders--all manner of corruption is set upon
mankind because he will not listen. I will not say cannot listen--he will not
listen. Therefore, he who will not listen must receive a just chastisement, so
his ears will be forcefully opened, and he will bend his knee to his God.” -
Our Lady, June 18, 1981
PRAY ON YOUR KNEES
“I say unto the clergy, My Son’s priests and the clergy of the world: you
have been blinded because of pride and arrogance. Your minds are confused with
worldliness, humanism, and modernism. Pray on your knees! Take your heads out of
the fog now while there is time, for your time is running out. Redeem yourselves
in the eyes of the Eternal Father now.” - Our Lady, August 4, 1979
WHAT IS COMING
“My Son has accepted His cross. Are there so few who will not accept a cross
to save your world now? To save your Vicar now? Woe to the inhabitants of the
earth! Could I take you now and open to you into sight what is coming upon
mankind, you would soon be groveling upon the dust, praying on your knees and
walking on your knees, to avoid the terrible destruction that shall be wrought
by the Ball of Redemption! Many will die in the great flame of the Ball of
Redemption.” - Our Lady, September 28, 1979
BROUGHT TO YOUR KNEES
“O My children, My Mother has cried bitter tears of anguish, for She has
been given full knowledge of what is to be. She has tried to prepare you, to
guide you through countless earth-years of time, to counsel you upon the
direction to Heaven; but you have chosen in your arrogance and pride to build
new religions, even bringing in hedonistic teachings and false gods. For this,
My children, you are abandoned to your folly, and as such, you will find that
you will be brought to your knees, forced to turn back from the wide road that
you have chosen of your own free will.” - Jesus, November 24, 1979
IRREVERENCE
"You will all read the pages set
down by John. You will not be ignorant of the days ahead, for man is always
learning but never reaching the truth. Pray for the light and you will receive
the understanding. Look for My Son and you will be given the way.
"The future--yes, the pages must turn, but you can lessen the suffering and
the losses to Our adversary, satan, if you will but care, if you would set aside
your selfishness and body pleasures to pray and sacrifice for the days ahead
when you will be forced to pray and sacrifice. You will not be asked--you will
be forced to your knees!
"Your God is a God of love and justice. The Kingdom of Heaven was created
for all man, but man will not enter unless he repents on free will, unless he
stops the offenses to the Sacred Heart of My Son. The desecration given Me I can
stand, but you will not show irreverence to your God!” - Our Lady,
November 20, 1971
DO YOU WANT
PUNISHMENT?
"You cannot, you must not
condone sin; you shall not rationalize sin until sin has become a way of life
among you. It shall be brother against brother and sister against sister. Nation
shall rise up against nation. There shall be disturbances of nature of such
great magnitude that many lives shall be lost! You will be forced to your knees,
and only then, in this time of great trial, will you turn back and look for the
light.
"My children, do you want punishment? Can you not give up your way of life,
a sinful life, to save your soul, your spirit? Shall you destroy your eternal
life with Us for the few short years you all have upon your earth? When you
leave your body you have full consciousness. You will understand then, only too
late, what you have given up.
"There shall be much gnashing of teeth and weeping in the days to come. It
is only through a merciful Eternal Father that you have not received the Ball
upon you, but it is coming. The prayers of the faithful have gained several
reprieves, but the balance is heavily to the left.” - Jesus,
April 17, 1976
FORCEFULLY
"Penance will be sent upon the
world. In the mercy of the Eternal Father a heavy penance will be sent upon
many.
"My children, before this battle of the spirits is over you will all
recognize the value of suffering. If you do not bow your knees before your God,
you shall be brought down forcefully to your knees. Clergy! Laymen! Forcefully
to your knees!
"My Mother has been coming to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. She
sends you and strews among you many roses. Many have thorns; the thorns are
always with the roses. And you will always find, My child and My children, the
cross beneath the roses. The road to Heaven is the way of the cross. Pick up
your cross and follow Me. The way is narrow, and very few remain on it. Many are
called, but few can be chosen.
"Remain constant, My children. Fidelity--remain faithful and true, and you
will be saved." - Jesus,
July 25, 1979
FINAL BATTLE
"My child, I have cautioned you
in the past and I repeat Myself for your welfare and the continued progress of
your work, your mission from Heaven, to close your ears to those who seek to
destroy the Mission from Heaven with idle tales of gossip and untruth. Know, My
child, that satan is staging his final battle against all of the children of
God. The warnings given from Heaven have not been accepted by all, but I assure
you, My children, that soon--and very soon, I say--you will all be forced to
your knees.” - Our Lady,
December 24, 1976
EXPERIMENTATION
"Experimentation and all manners
of abomination being committed in the name of humanism and modernism--for what
but destruction! You travel about like the chickens without heads, flapping your
wings in pride and arrogance, for your heads have been taken off. And those with
heads, they extend into the clouds, dark clouds above them, blinded by their
arrogance, blinded by their pride! Get down to your knees and take off this
pride and arrogance that has made you blind to the truth!” - Our Lady,
December 24, 1976
HIGHEST PLACES
"There will be sent upon your
earth a great Warning of great magnitude. It will be recognizable to all. Many
will see and still not believe. Pray for those who have covered themselves with
blindness. When I speak to you, My child, of blindness, it is the state of the
spirit. The world of man has lost sight of the road to the Kingdom. Man no
longer honors My Son upon his knees. Should you not return to the rule, you will
be forced to return to your knees.
"I have been sending the word from the Father throughout the world. Many
seers carry the word to the multitudes.
"Your world and your country wallow in a cesspool of error, corruption, and
debasement. Satan has set among you in the highest places of rule, giving them
power for the destruction of human souls. These agents of hell have been placed
in your schools to destroy your young; in your government to bring you to your
knees before one who is not of God; and sadly, his agents have entered into the
House of God to do battle.
"Michael must be returned to the House of God immediately. Man's free will
has cast him aside. He will not be returned unless man asks.”- Our Lady,
September 13, 1973
TURN BACK
"O My children, My Mother has
cried bitter tears of anguish, for She has been given full knowledge of what is
to be. She has tried to prepare you, to guide you through countless earth-years
of time, to counsel you upon the direction to Heaven; but you have chosen in
your arrogance and pride to build new religions, even bringing in hedonistic
teachings and false gods. For this, My children, you are abandoned to your
folly, and as such, you will find that you will be brought to your knees, forced
to turn back from the wide road that you have chosen of your own free will.
"As My Mother counseled you through many earth-years of visitations to you,
that when a country gives itself over to Lucifer, discarding all knowledge of
true faith and the Commandments of the Eternal Father, that country will be
destroyed. The hand that will be set upon your country shall be heavy. My Mother
has pleaded your cause to Heaven, but how many have listened to Her? How many
have been willing to sacrifice their own selfish desires to save mankind? Too
few, My children, I say too few! The balance is heavily to the left, leaving
Heaven no recourse but to allow you to continue upon the road to your own
destruction.” - Jesus,
November 24, 1979
WORDS UNHEEDED
"If the words of My Mother go
unheeded to this ungrateful generation, I assure you it will not be long before
you will be forced to your knees! Hasten, harken, and listen, for the warnings
given to you are urgent! The sands of time are running fast out, and you will
not have another chance to turn your hourglass.” - Jesus,
February 10, 1975
FIERCE
DESTRUCTION
"If I could receive permission
from Heaven to open for you to all see the fierce destruction that is fast
approaching your country and the world, you would come to your knees; you would
walk on your knees to My Son in the Eucharist. But no! You continue making the
same errors as in the past. You call down upon you a just chastisement.
"My children, many have said My message is a frightening one, but what can
I tell you but the truth? Gladly would I come to you with words of cheer, but I
can only extend to you words of courage and caution.” - Our Lady,
July 15, 1978
APOSTASY
"Woe, woe, woe to the
inhabitants of the earth! They shall reap the fruits of their labor. The crops
shall rot! Mankind shall feel a sword upon his world.
"The Eternal Father has endured your apostasy, your arrogance, your heresy
much too long! As an errant and ungrateful generation given to sin and
abominations of the flesh, you shall be forced to your knees by trial.” - St.
Michael, July 15, 1975
GREAT TRIALS
"O My children, My heart is torn
that you will not turn about and get down to your knees. Throughout your world
now there will be great trials set upon mankind: upheavals of nature, discord in
governments, nations at war, fire raining from the sky! My children, you ask for
peace, but you are traveling to your own destruction as you build up armaments
to kill your brothers and maim!” - Our Lady,
July 15, 1977
A HIGHER POWER
"Mothers, and fathers too, have
gone astray in these dark days. Materialism has replaced spiritualism, and that
is why the many catastrophes are being allowed upon your earth. There will be
more floods with death, more volcano eruptions with death, more accidents that
are not accidents, until you will surely come to your senses and realize that
there is a higher power working at this time to bring you to your knees.” -
Our Lady, June 18, 1986
ROME IN DANGER
"O My children, Rome is in great
danger. There is much deceit throughout the hierarchy. It will be cardinal
against cardinal and bishop against bishop, for satan has set himself in their
ranks.
"Prayer is the most powerful force now given in your world to stop the
advance of 666. My children, if I could open to you a scene in small measure of
the coming Chastisement, I would not have to, as your Mother, beg you to listen
and act upon My counsel; you would go to your knees and make your way to My Son
in pleading.” - Our Lady,
May 28, 1977
SHALL YOU BE
FORCED?
"There will be many
manifestations throughout the world. There will be many chosen as My voice-box.
Before the final Chastisement each man will have had and made the choice, had
the opportunity to choose between My Son and satan. The forces of evil are
gathering fast for the final battle. Satan knows that his time is short.
"Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice: is this too much to ask of you in the
face of the reality of what lies ahead for your country and the world? Shall you
be forced to fast and starve your bodies? Shall you be forced to your knees with
disaster?
"I have long been a guardian and Patroness* of your country. It has
prospered and become a symbol to the world. However, now it has blackened the
cross, and it has made itself up as a center for the worship of man and worldly
treasures. The example of those in authority has been debased. The example of
many in authority has set many onto the road to hell. Nothing has gone by
unnoticed by the Father.” - Our Lady,
August 14, 1973
*In 1846, eight years before Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Sixth Council of Baltimore formally chose the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived without sin as the Patroness of the United States.
“ON THEIR KNEES”
"My child, the earthquakes will
increase now. There will be one in New York. Now, My child, I tell you this to
prepare. You are allowed, My child, to experience all that mankind can suffer.
How well you listened to Us when We told you to place on your shelves cans of
food, jars of water, blankets. You found it very cold, My child, without heat
and without light, and without any form of recreation other than to pray. And
that was God's way of letting the world know that they will be on their knees;
and one of these days they will be praying, for many the first time in many
years. But why, My children, must We allow all these disasters to happen to you,
and have to bring you to your knees in prayer? Can you not listen, and can you
not seek for the truth, all who call themselves atheists, and those who have
half-hearted interest in religion at all? They call it a thing of the past. It
is not a thing of the past, but it is a means for your salvation. Accept it and
you will be saved; reject it and you will be lost.” - Jesus,
October 5, 1985
PRIDE
"I shall not give you a long
discourse on your offenses, but I give you fair warning now that the sand is
about to pass through the hourglass, and your time is running out! Amen! Amen! I
say to you, as your God: penance, atonement, and sacrifice now! Cleanse your
souls by penance, or you shall be forced to your knees to do penance!
"The Eternal Father shall chastise those He loves. Shall you be counted
among the sheep or the goats, bishops? Strip yourselves of your pride and your
arrogance! For pride is a more formidable barrier against sanctity than even
outright licentiousness! Pride comes before the fall, and all that is rotten
shall fall!
"The kernels that survive in a storm often fall on rocks and don't bloom
and bring forth and bear fruit. But now, as I look upon My House, My Church upon
earth, I find you have opened the doors to thieves and robbers. All manner of
heresy abounds now in the hearts of man. You have turned from your God, and you
are forming false gods of worship based on a humanistic way of life.” -
Jesus, October 2, 1979
“DO NOT WAIT”
“Many are not listening now, My
child, as many rejected My words years ago.
"Do not wait, My children, until you are forced to your knees. Come to Us
now, for your reward will be in far greater abundance, filled with graces,
graces far beyond what your human mind could comprehend.
"Measure for measure will be given unto you for your works and your actions
to your brothers and the safeguarding of your immortal soul and the souls
entrusted to your care. And if you have the mercy of heart and the goodness of
spirit, you will share this light with others.
"Light your candles, My children, with Me. Search with Me through the
darkness. Bring the Message from Heaven to the world. These candles, the lights
of wisdom and love, shall be lit throughout the world. Every country shall have
the knowledge of the truth. The Gospel, the words of the Father, shall go
throughout the world before you receive the judgment.” - Our Lady,
September 28, 1974
“FALL TO YOUR
KNEES”
"Soon your world will face a
complete change. Many will be taken out of the world. Your country and the world
will be cleansed by the Father. When this cleansing is complete in stages, those
who remain will set up the Kingdom with My Son. You have hastened, with your
sinfulness, a great disaster to come.
"I ask you now, as Queen of Heaven and guardian of your country and the
world, to keep and promote a constant vigilance of prayer. Only in this manner
can you avert what is fast coming upon you. O My children, if you could see what
is there, beyond your celestial heavens, heading fast upon you, you would fall
to your knees." - Our Lady,
September 7, 1973
MAN MUST KNEEL
“All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My
Son’s House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned
into a meeting hall.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1979
"IS HE NOT YOUR KING?"
"Why must you insult My Son? Can you not bend your knees? Is He not your
King?" - Our Lady, November 21, 1970
RESTORE ALTAR RAILINGS
"I have asked you to get down on your knees. Clergy in My Son's House, His
Church, restore the altar railings, that man may be on his knees. For many shall
crawl on their knees in desperation seeking to flee, but nowhere shall they
escape the flames. Restore My Son's Church while there is time. Return the
railings! Have the people make atonement upon their knees to their God!" -
Our Lady, May 30, 1981
THE VATICAN SPEAKS ON
KNEELING FOR HOLY COMMUNION:
The 1980 instruction approved by Pope John Paul II, Inaestimabile Donum, states:
"When the faithful communicate kneeling, no other sign of reverence towards the Blessed Sacrament is required, since kneeling itself is a sign of adoration." (#11)
On October 25, 2001 Cardinal Medina Estévez (former Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments) admonished the American bishops to ". . . protect those faithful who will inevitably be led by their own sensibilities to kneel, from imprudent action by priests, deacons, or lay ministers in particular, or from being refused Holy Communion for such a reason. . ."
On February 25, 2003, the Congregation for Divine Worship gave this reply to Jane Elliot:
This Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has received your letter dated 9 December 2002, related to the application of the norms approved by the Conference of Bishops of the United States of America, with the subsequent recognitio of this Congregation, as regards the question of the posture for receiving Holy Communion.
As the authority by virtue of whose recognitio the norm in question has attained the force of law, this Dicastery is competent to specify the manner in which the norm is to be understood for the sake of a proper application. Having received more than a few letters regarding this matter from different locations in the United States of America, the Congregation wishes to ensure that its position on the matter is clear.
To this end, it is perhaps useful to respond to your inquiry by repeating the content of a letter that the Congregation recently addressed to a Bishop in the United States of America from whose Diocese a number of pertinent letters had been received. The letter states: "... while this Congregation gave the recognitio to the norm desired by the Bishops’ Conference of your country that people stand for Holy Communion, this was done on the condition that communicants who choose to kneel are not to be denied Holy Communion on these grounds. Indeed, the faithful should not be imposed upon nor accused of disobedience and of acting illicitly when they kneel to receive Holy Communion".
This Dicastery hopes that the citation given here will provide an adequate answer to your letter. At the same time, please be assured that the Congregation remains ready to be of assistance if you should need to contact it again.
With every prayerful good wish, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Mons. Mario Marini Undersecretary
