Bishop Schneider: "As Jews are followers of the Pharisees and of the Talmudic rabbis who rejected Christ, they now adore God in a defective and unfaithful manner."

On May 13, 1820, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (beatified by St. John Paul II) received a powerful and sobering vision:

“I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city [Rome]. I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening... I saw in all places Catholics oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty, churches were closed, and great misery prevailed everywhere with war and bloodshed... Again I saw St. Peter’s undermined... but it was delivered at the moment of greatest distress. Again I saw the Blessed Virgin extending her mantle over it.”

In the same vision, she described priests who became lukewarm or compromised, with many failing in their sacred duties. Yet, she also saw hope: a future Pope — “a mild, but very resolute man” — who would “know how to attach his priests to himself and who drove far from him the bad,” leading to renewal and a Church reaching “from earth to Heaven.”

This private revelation is not dogma, but it has been cited by many as a call to vigilance, reparation, and prayer for the purification of the clergy and the Church.

Today, let us respond with action:
- Pray fervently for priests and bishops.
- Offer the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and Holy Hours in reparation.
- Remain faithful to the true Faith and the Magisterium.

Even in darkness, Our Lady’s mantle covers the Church, and Christ’s promise stands: the gates of hell shall not prevail.

Jesus, have mercy on Your Church! Amen 🙏

Saint Margaret of Castello
1287 - 1320
Feast day: April 13
Patronage: Pro-life movement; the poor, crippled and the unwanted
Saint Margaret of Castello was born in Metola, Italy to noble parents who wanted a son. Because their daughter was born blind and a hunchbacked dwarf she was kept hidden and locked in a room onto the side of the parish church for 16 years, where she was fed through a small window and able to hear Mass and receive Holy Communion through another window. When she was 20 her parents took her to a shrine in Castello, where miracles were reportedly being wrought, to pray for a cure for her birth defects. When no miracle happened they abandoned her. The poor of the city took her in as their own. Margaret had to beg for her food and eventually sought shelter with some Dominican nuns. She died at the age of 33 and a crippled girl was miraculously cured at her funeral. Her body has remained incorrupt.

Throughout her life, St. Gemma was to be favored with many mystical experiences and special graces. She wished to become a nun, but her poor health prevented her from being accepted. On June 8, 1899, Gemma received the stigmata. Gemma often saw her guardian angel, with whom she was on familiar terms and sent on errands. In January of 1903, Gemma was diagnosed as having tuberculosis. She died quietly in the company of the parish priest, on April 11 at age twenty-five.
