THE ALL-SEEING EYE

Many religions have used the image of an "eye" as a religious symbol. The "all-seeing eye" can be traced back to ancient Egypt and the eye of Horus.


The Catholic Church added a "triangle" around this pre-Christian image/symbol and surrounded it with "rays of light" to show that God Is Trinitarian -- that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are Three Divine Persons Who are One Divine Being. The All-Seeing Eye was an explicit image of the Holy Trinity in Christendom.

Supper at Emmaus, Jacopo Pontormo (1525)

"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him, upon those who count on His mercy (Psalm 33:18)." For centuries, this Catholic symbol was understood to be the "Eye of Providence" -- the "All-Seeing Eye" of God (watching over us).

Aachen Cathedral in Germany, Charlemagne (786)

Freemasonry appropriated the Eye of Providence or All-Seeing Eye to "neutrally" represent god (by whatever name one may believe in). And the use of this symbol as uniquely Masonic first appeared in the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor (1797). To the Freemasons, the All-Seeing Eye represents the Great Architect of the Universe.

Great Architect of the Universe (1797)

Most Freemasons do not really understand the symbols of the Craft; they are "intentionally misled by false interpretations" regarding these. The true meanings of Masonic symbols are "reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry." _ Albert Pike (33rd Degree Mason and Occultist), Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

The "Princes of Masonry" know that the All-Seeing Eye -- the Great Architect of the Universe -- is the Eye of Lucifer, the Morning Star, the Light-bearer. This is the hidden mystery that is revealed to those of the higher degrees.


Freemasons revere Lucifer, the Morning Star, the Light-bearer who brings light, knowledge and intelligence to mankind. Freemasons are deceived to believe that Lucifer is a god. They revere the beautiful archangel Lucifer before his fall. They do not recognize him as "Satan." And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

How you have fallen from the heavens, O Morning Star... In your heart you said: "I will scale the heavens... I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will be like the Most High!"
No! Down to Sheol you will be brought to the depths of the pit! (Isaiah 14:12-15)

Lucifer is the light of Freemasonry. Lucifer is the god of the Masonic Temple. Freemasonry is Luciferian illumination. "And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be (Matthew 6:23)."


Today, Evangelical fundamentalists accuse the Catholic Church of paganism -- and much worse. They don’t realize that they are listening to the wrong voice! Although both Catholicism and Freemasonry have used the All-Seeing Eye as a symbol, only the ignorant equate the two.

All who viciously attack the Catholic Church will discover how wrong they have been -- in this life, or the next.

“There are not even 100 people in this country who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they think the Catholic Church to be.” … “If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated…” _ Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

The Catholic Church has condemned Freemasonry for centuries. And the Church's position is clear:

"The Church's negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion." _ DECLARATION ON MASONIC ASSOCIATIONS, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (November 26, 1983)

"Eight popes have issued pronouncements condemning Freemasons or those activities and principles identified with Freemasonry: Popes Clement XII, Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Leo XII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI, Pius IX and Leo XIII have condemned Freemasonry and its principles. Both the 1917 (article 2335) and 1983 (article 1374) Code of Canon Law have imposed the penalties of excommunication and interdict on Catholics who become Freemasons.
One must bear in mind that most newcomers to Freemasonry are for the most part oblivious to the ultimate goal of the society. In his encyclical Humanum Genus Pope Leo XIII stated that the unsuspecting newcomers to the secret society are most likely unaware of their ultimate goals and should not be considered partners in the criminal acts perpetrated by Freemasonry.
Nota bene (Note well): Throughout her visions Blessed Emmerich specifically mentions the "Illuminati" and the "Freemasons" as secret societies most dangerous to the Catholic Church." _ Rev. Joseph L. Iannuzzi, STD, Ph.D.

On Freemasonry

#2) …At this period, however, the partisans of evil seem to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons. No longer making any secret of their purpose, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself. They are planning the destruction of holy Church publicly and openly…
#10) …Now, the Masonic sect produces fruits that are pernicious and of the bitterest savor. For, from what We have above most clearly shown, that which is their ultimate purpose forces itself into view -- namely, the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.

#4) …The New Age which is dawning will be peopled by perfect, androgynous (hermaphroditic) beings who are totally in command of the cosmic laws of nature. [For example: biotechnology (engineering and manipulating the genetic makeup, the DNA, of organisms) and nanotechnology (engineering and controlling matter at the atomic level)] In this scenario, Christianity (and Christian morality) has to be eliminated and give way to a global religion (a religion of naturalism) and a (totalitarian) New World Order…


THE ILLUMINATI IN THE UNITED STATES

The Illuminati is a name given to several groups/organizations which claim to have links to the original Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society founded on May 1, 1776. The Illuminati -- along with Freemasonry and other secret societies -- allegedly conspire to control world affairs, by planning events and placing people in government in order to gain political power to establish a New World Order.

"Conspiracy theory" has acquired a derogatory meaning and is used to discredit inquiry and dismiss or ridicule one's belief in a conspiracy. But conspiracies do exist!

Today there is much talk about the Illuminati. But does the Illuminati exist today in the United States? The answer is YES.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the Illuminati in the United States.

Some "Current" CFR Members in the United States Include: Joe Biden (47th Vice-President of the United States), Dick Cheney (46th Vice-President of the United States), Hillary Rodham Clinton (67th Secretary of State under Barack Obama), Bill Clinton (42nd President of the United States), George H.W. Bush (41st President of the United States), John Kerry (68th Secretary of State under Barack Obama), Newt Gingrich (58th Speaker of the House of Representatives), John McCain (Senator from Arizona), Dianne Feinstein (Senator from California)... Ruth Bader Ginsburg (United States Supreme Court Justice)... George Soros (currency speculator, investor), Richard Branson (founder of Virgin Group), Rupert Murdoch (founder/chairman/CEO of News Corp and Fox News)... Charles Krauthammer (Fox News commentator and columnist for Washington Post), Heather Nauert (Fox News journalist), Charlie Rose (PBS journalist), Diane Sawyer (ABC News journalist), Lesley Stahl (CBS News journalist)... Angelina Jolie (actress, UN Goodwill Ambassador), George Clooney (actor, United Nations Messenger of Peace)... and Heidi Cruz, wife of presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

This CFR puppet wants to be President of the United States!

Hillary Clinton said, "We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future."


Admiral Chester Ward, former Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy, was a CFR member for twenty years. He became one of its sharpest critics.

[The goal of the CFR is the] "submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful, one-world government... this lust to surrender the sovereignty and independence of the United States is pervasive throughout most of the membership..." _ Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, pp. 144-150 (1975)

"Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition." _ Admiral Chester Ward, Kissinger on the Couch, p. 151 (1975)

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

“For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.” (Ephesians 6:12)

 
“Know that you are now on a great stage where all heaven and earth are watching you. Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you. Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone.” _ Diary of St. Faustina (1760)  

The Rosary is our weapon against the world, the flesh, the Devil and his evil spirits. And living a Sacramental life [Daily Mass (when possible) and frequent Confession] is the best defense we have against the enemy.


POWER OF THE BLESSING

Evil spirits often speak, rant and rave through people. The good news is that we have the power to silence them. When these spiritual attacks occur, immediately respond with a blessing:

“Lord Jesus, please bless this person / 
these people.”

“Lord Jesus, please bless everyone
in this house.”
- etcetera -

The blessing will drive the evil spirits away, and the person will become quiet. (It may take a few moments for the person to calm down, but you will have defused the situation.) When we bless those who curse us, deliverance occurs.

When entering a building
(house, office, store, church…)
Or a car, bus, train, plane…
ALWAYS ASK JESUS TO BLESS EVERYONE.

“Lord Jesus, please bless everyone 
in this place.”

“Lord Jesus, please bless everyone 
I come in contact with.”

This will prevent the enemy from using others against you. Evil spirits cause people to behave badly. But you can protect yourself.

Before answering the phone
and before making a call,
ALWAYS ASK JESUS TO BLESS
THE PHONE CALL -- TO BLESS
THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END.

“Lord Jesus, please bless
this phone call.”

“Lord Jesus, please bless _____ 
(the person you are calling).”

This will prevent the enemy from interfering with your conversation. Evil spirits cause confusion, misunderstandings, arguments… But you can protect yourself.

PLEADING THE BLOOD OF JESUS
(APPLYING THE BLOOD OF JESUS)

A Defensive Prayer for Protection

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my spouse and children.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my family, home and property.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my church and on all church property.” 
- etcetera - 

Evil spirits, and people under their influence, will avoid everything covered with the Blood of Jesus.

An Offensive Spiritual Weapon for Deliverance

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on my mind. 
I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every thought in my mind.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on
my body.”

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every evil spirit attacking my mind 
and body.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on
the air and atmosphere in this place.”

Use this spiritual weapon when you are harassed by impure thoughts, attacked with strong temptation, tempted to commit sin… when thoughts distract you during Mass, interfere with your prayer life, torment you during the night, preventing a good sleep… when you are afflicted with depressive or obsessive-compulsive thoughts… when your thoughts falsely accuse you of wrongdoing… when your thoughts are overly critical of yourself… when your thoughts become confused or “out of control”… when your thoughts are not your own…
 

 
St. Faustina Kowalska

From the Diary of St. Faustina, “Divine Mercy in My Soul”: Conference on Spiritual Warfare, Cracow-Pradnik

June 2, 1938 _ “My daughter, I want to teach you about spiritual warfare. Never trust in yourself, but abandon yourself totally to My Will. In desolation, darkness and various doubts, have recourse to Me and to your spiritual director. He will always answer you in My Name. Do not bargain with any temptation; lock yourself immediately in My Heart and, at the first opportunity, reveal the temptation to the confessor. Put your self-love in the last place, so that it does not taint your deeds. Bear with yourself with great patience. Do not neglect interior mortifications. Always justify to yourself the opinions of your superiors and of your confessor. Shun murmurers like a plague. Let all act as they like; you are to act as I want you to.

Observe the rule as faithfully as you can. If someone causes you trouble, think what good you can do for the person who caused you to suffer. Do not pour out your feelings. Be silent when you are rebuked. Do not ask everyone’s opinion, but only the opinion of your confessor; be as frank and simple as a child with him. Do not become discouraged by ingratitude. Do not examine with curiosity the roads down which I lead you. When boredom and discouragement beat against your heart, run away from yourself and hide in My Heart. Do not fear struggle; courage itself often intimidates temptations, and they dare not attack us.

Always fight with the deep conviction that I am with you. Do not be guided by feeling, because it is not always under your control; but all merit lies in the will. Always depend upon your superiors, even in the smallest things. I will not delude you with prospects of peace and consolations; on the contrary, prepare for great battles. Know that you are now on a great stage where all heaven and earth are watching you. Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you. Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone.” (1760)

ORIGINAL PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

VISION OF POPE LEO XIII

One day, after celebrating Mass, the aged Pope Leo XIII was in conference with the Cardinals when suddenly he sank to the floor in a deep swoon. Physicians who hastened to his side could find no trace of his pulse and feared that he had expired. However, after a short interval the Holy Father regained consciousness and exclaimed with great emotion: “Oh, what a horrible picture I have been permitted to see!”

He had been shown a vision of evil spirits who had been released from Hell and their efforts to destroy the Church. But in the midst of the horror the Archangel St. Michael appeared and cast Satan and his legions into the abyss of hell. Soon afterwards Pope Leo XIII composed the following prayer to Saint Michael.


PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
(The Original Version)

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.
V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
R. As we have hoped in Thee.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”
