Final True Cross Battle Begins!

Volume XXVII, Number 10
April 13th, 2023

Happy Easter after the best Lent ever!

I loved your reactions to my message on Good Friday about how, at our lowest point, almost a dozen "Emergency Cyrenes" were sent by Our Lady in response to your prayers and reparations.

This ensured the connection of the arduous, four-month California "beam" of Operation True Cross.

My purpose today is to announce the departure time this Sunday for the final 1,000-mile Florida "beam" from the La Leche Shrine in Saint Augustine, Florida (below).

Holy Week Timing

If you missed my last message due to the Holy Week timing, it contained some very cool photos and my strong spiritual intuition that the divine intervention we are seeking may have already been secured on "heaven's calendar." Enjoy it here:

California Beam Connected!


Carry the Cross with Us on Divine Mercy Sunday


On April 16th, Divine Mercy Sunday, we will begin the triumphant Florida Beam of our living Crucifix of Reparation over our nation.

We'll start with a brief prayer before departing on foot promptly at 10:00 am from outside the little "Historical Chapel" on the centuries-old grounds of the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche (101 San Marcos Avenue, Saint Augustine FL 32084).

Please gather at the Historical Chapel by 9:45 am.

Your family and friends are welcome to join us. If you can make it, for the first mile or two, everyone will have the opportunity and the profound honor of briefly carrying our reliquary containing a fragment of the actual cross Jesus bore up Calvary and upon which He shed his Precious Blood to atone for all sins.

What to Think About


On Easter Sunday Saint Paul's advice struck me as a pitch-perfect treatise describing the theological foundations of Operation True Cross. (3 Colossians is very brief, and I invite you to take a few moments read his entire letter.)

In the excerpts that follow, imagine the context as our rapid and diabolical cultural, political, and economic deterioration—while keeping in mind that the powerful exorcism prayers and reparations you have been offering have been received by God during our hidden and aggressive word-of-mouth movement:

"Set your minds on the things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Saint Paul goes on, "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry."

Then he warns, "On account of these the wrath of God is coming."

He concludes, "Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward... for the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality."


Pray with Tens of Thousands


Before you pray, I invite you to take a breath. Raise your heart to heaven. Connect. Please join me and so many others in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...

Mother Mary, please take our prayers to the throne of heaven,
purified through your Immaculate Heart as a perfect offering.

Eternal Father, we offer the body, blood, soul, and divinity of your dearly beloved son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and those of those of the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us.
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Guardian Angel of America, pray for us.
Our Lady, Queen of Victory, pray for us.
Jesus Christ, King of Kings, deliver us from evil.

Amen.
Every Knee Shall Bend

Until next time, keep praying, my hardy Cyrenes and Veronicas. Apply yourself, confidently and steadily, to God's will for you on this day.

Nothing can stop us now—except fear and sloth.

Take heart—Our Lady is executing her august plan on numerous battlefronts, and even if I were to die on this particular one, others will take up the Holy Cross and complete the final Florida beam.

Every knee shall bend!

Even during Easter Season, within the bounds of prudence, keep offering reparations, novenas, self-denials, and alms to atone with Christ for our own sins and the sins of others who will not, at this point, atone for their own.

Keep up the good work of getting the word out to your groups, lists, family, and friends. You've been doing a wonderful job distributing the Daily Prayers to Save America. In human terms, this is your movement.

Join me in pressing the advantage with confidence. Keep smiling. Love everyone.

With Saint Anthony,
and Saint Veronica,
and Saint Charbel,
and Saint Gabriel,
