THE DEVIL IS AT IT AGAIN

THE DEVIL IS AT IT AGAIN

Fr. Richard Voigt (Resistance)

Do you know him as the deceiver, or the tempter, or the demon?  Under whatever name you
 place him, his goal is always the same:  to damn.  Yes, he does not want anyone of us to achieve the salvation which God desires for us.  He lost out.  He is miserable and wants us to join him in
 his miserable state.  If we do not expose him, then he wins.  If we do expose his tricks, then
 we can win our salvation.  So consider what temptations he placed before the Son of Man, our
 Lord and Savior.  Through this study we should be able to recognize his work against the Mystical
 Body, the holy Church.

Romans 7:5
For when we were in the flesh,
the passions of sins,
which were by the law,
did work in our members,
to bring forth fruit unto death.

First temptation deals with our instincts and passions which are represented by the divine hunger for souls that drove Jesus into the desert to fast and pray.  Only by fasting and praying can we rid ourselves of the demons that threaten us.  Some demons can be cast out using the name of  Jesus; others demand prayer and fasting on the part of the exorcist.  In this moment Jesus is brought to the temptation to be a Bread King.  Change these rocks into loaves of bread and feed the flock.  They will come in droves for "free-bies".  We are a people conditioned for entitlements
 and the deceiver is tempting our Lord to gather in the sheep by giving into their instincts.  Let  the passions run wild; give them what they want and they will come running to be with you. Be a Bread King and rule the material order.  Our Lord destroys the deceit with the answer
 that not by bread alone does man live but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of
 God.  First method to keep on track for salvation:  study and pray over the Word of God.

 Second temptation offers another short cut to Jesus from the cross.  Do you want to know how
 to gather in the sheep?  Go to the top of this temple and cast yourself down for it is written
 that the angels will gather you up and not the least bruise will touch your littlest toe.  In other
 words be an entertainer.  The people will watch you float down and cry out: "Wow!  Do it again!"
 Let their pleasure for excitement be satisfied by your miraculous machinations and they
 will follow you.  But don't go to a cross; it's so messy!  Our Lord is encouraged to become a
 super star and He calls Satan to task and chooses to be a Super Scar.  Second method to conquer the evil one:  love of the Cross.

Jesus offended ALOT of people...
Matthew 5:37
But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no:
and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

 Third temptation is most apparent in our "politically correct" mind frame.  Our Lord and the tempter are placed on the highest of mountains and all the world in its glory is shown to our Lord.  All these will I give Thee if Thou but fall down and worship me.  The temptation is clear:  worship a demon and  reap a material kingdom.  Our Lord could be a president, a dictator, a tyrant.  He could rule in any  way, shape or form He desired.  One simple act of adoration purchases all these created souls.
 Jesus' answer is clear:  "Begone Satan, God alone shall thou worship."  The devil left Him.
 Third method of victory over Satan:  worship the true God.

 Now these are the temptations and the methods of conquering the evil one.  Yet today the
 three temptations have overrun the Mystical Body due to the infiltration of satanic minded prelates
 occupying the seats in the Vatican.  Vatican II became a Jewish construct to manipulate and
 destroy the one Faith and substitute a false act of worship which adores the person of man.
 Man has grasped at the things of this world as more appealing than the eternal life promised
 by fidelity.  Man in his new worship style seeks to be entertained by the liturgical committees that
 infiltrate every parish and diocese in the United States and beyond.  Mass is no longer the
 eternal sacrifice of Christ but a last supper focused upon keeping the flock fed and entertained.

"...the audacity and frivolity of men
who call themselves Catholics and dream of re-shaping society...What are they going to produce? What is to come of this collaboration? A mere verbal and chimerical construction in which we shall see, glowing in a jumble, and in seductive confusion, the words Liberty, Justice, Fraternity, Love, Equality, and human exultation, all resting upon an ill-understood human dignity." Pope St. Pius X on the Vatican II Sillonists

Now consider the third temptation which seeks to make politics into a new theology.  Our bishops have become little dictators over the flock.  Everyone seeks their little kingdom.  Now we have  bishops who will aid the government in bringing illegal children into America for a reward of  $6380 for each one placed in a foster home.  We have cardinals and bishops waving a socialist flag and calling for more entitlements.  Our schools are bent upon receiving funds from the  marxists educators by simply watering down the Faith and removing acts of worship.
  

“What could be clearer? We must [according to Rome] henceforth obey and be faithful to the Conciliar Church, no longer to the Catholic Church. Right there is our whole problem: we are suspended a divinis by the Conciliar Church, the Conciliar Church, to which we have no wish to belong! That Conciliar Church is a schismatic church because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship… The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or the faithful adhere to this new church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Reflections on his suspension a divinis, July 29, 1976)

 

 Every temptation Jesus rejected the New Church loves and lives.  More souls are waking up to the reality that Christ is no longer sovereign in His own Church.  Perhaps it no longer is His Church but  the Church of the New Order.  It is called the Conciliar Church, the Church of the New Advent.  Its  new worship exalts man but sacrifices to the one who grasped at equality with God.  If only souls  could discern the temptations and act in such a way as to cut through the smoke screen of the deceiver.  Yes, we will be a smaller Mystical Body but we will preserve the Faith and save our
 souls.  This is more important than falling into false worship and becoming apostates.  We can be sure to save our souls only by confirming all that the Mystical Body has taught and continues to  teach.  Reject the new inventions and hold to the Truth.

 May you enter into this Lent with a generous spirit and a desire to increase your love for God.

 In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
 
 Fr. Richard Voigt
