Intention of Pilgrimage 2013

Intention of the SSPX 7th Official Pilgrimage to Akita

Ave Maria!

My dearest Brethren,,
This year, the Society of Saint Piux X consecrates itself officially to Saint Joseph. The SSPX or-ganizes many pilgrimages in honor of the Chaste Spouse of Mother of God, all over the world.
Especially the district of France makes many activities for his honor, since France was consecrated to Saint Joseph by King Louis XIV on March 19, 1661.
For our district of Asia, the year 2013 is declared as the year of Archbishop Lefebvre together with the devotion to Saint Joseph. We want to make this pilgrimage in this same spirit. Our district Superior Fr. Couture, as well as Novice Master of Saint Bernard, Iloilo, Fr. Daniels will join us. Let me explain our spirit:

(1) Inspiring is the story of “Garden of Mary” at the Servants of Holy Eucharist in Akita. When Fr Yasuda wanted to make it there was the challenge of the finance. He entrusted the realization of this project to Saint Joseph. Then, Sr. Agnes had an apparition of her Guradian Angel telling her the importance of devotion to Saint Joseph. Encouraged by this, Fr Yasuda was used to have sisters to pray to Saint Joseph, and each time there was necessary for the Garden, big financial help arrived. “literally as if they came from Heaven” says Fr Yasuda.

It is certain that Our Lady will be pleased that the members and the faithful of the SSPX have the devotion to Saint Joseph. This certitude makes us to offer this pilgrimage in honor of the Patron of the Universal Church.

(2) In the District of Asia, the year 2013 is made as the year of Archbishop Lefebvre. Our Founder said in 1990:
“We must make up our minds if we too want to collaborate in the destruction of the Church and in the ruin of the Social Kingship of Christ the King, or are we resolved to continue working for the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ? …We too have chosen to be Counter-revolutionary, to stay with the Syllabus, to be against the modern errors, to stay with Catholic Truth, to defend Catholic truth. …This fight between the Church and the liberals and modernism is the fight over Vatican II. It is as simple of that. And the consequences are far-reaching. The more one analyzes the documents of Vatican II, and the more one analyzes their interpretation by the authorities of the Church, the more one realizes that what is at stake is not merely superficial errors, a few mistakes, ecumenism, religious liberty, collegiality, a certain Liberalism, but rather a wholesale perversion of the mind, a whole new philosophy based on modern philosophy, on subjectivism. …I think we have truly a strength and a base to stand on which do not come from us, and that is what is good - it is not our fight, it is Our Lord's fight, which the Church has carried on. So we cannot waver. Either we are for the Church, or we are against the Church and for the new Conciliar Church which has nothing to do with the Catholic Church, or less and less to do with it.”
On Oct 13, 1973, Our Lady of Akita speaks also the same opposition:
“The work of Satan will infiltrate even into the Church, where cardinals will oppose cardinals and bishops against bishops. Priests who venerate me will be scorned and attacked by their confreres. Altars and churches will be sacked and the churches will be full of those who compromise. Many priests and religious will abandon their voca-tions by the temptations by Satan. Especially Satan is working to influence souls consecrated to the Divine Father. The perdition of many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins continue, there would be no longer the forgiveness of sins.”

(3) For the Catholic Church, for the new Holy Father, let us make this pilgrimage.
"Pray very much for the Pope, Bishops, and Priests. Since your Baptism you have always prayed faithfully for them. Continue to pray very much...very much.” (Our Lady of Akita)

Let us go to Our Lady of Akita this year again, with these intentions, for the honor of Saint Joseph, to defend and keep the spirit of Catholic Faith, for the Catholic Church, for the Holy Father. May God bless you all the pilgrims of Akita!

The first message, July 6, 1973
"My daughter, my novice, you have obeyed me well in abandoning all to follow me. Is the infirmity of your ears painful? Your deafness will be healed, be sure. Does the wound of your hand cause you to suffer? Pray in reparation for the sins of men. Each person in this community is my irreplaceable daughter. Do you say well the prayer of the Handmaids of the Eucharist? Then, let us pray it together."
"Pray very much for the Pope, Bishops, and Priests. Since your Baptism you have always prayed faithfully for them. Continue to pray very much...very much. Tell your superior all that passed today and obey him in everything that he will tell you. He has asked that you pray with fervor."

The second message, August 3rd, 1973
My daughter, my novice, do you love the Lord? If you love the Lord, listen to me.
This is a crucial message. Convey it to your superior. Many men in this world are saddening the Lord. I desire people who would console the Lord. In order to appease the wrath of the Heavenly Father, I desire, with my Divine Son, souls who would make reparations on behalf of sinners and the ungrateful by sufferings and through poverty. In order to make known that the Divine Father is in ire towards this world, He is about to inflict a great chastisement on the whole mankind. With my Divine Son, many times I have tried to appease His wrath. By showing the sufferings of His Son on the Cross and His Precious Blood, by offering a cohort of souls who console and love dearly the Divine Father, the victim souls, I have been holding Him. Prayers, penance, poverty and courageous acts of sacrifice can soften the wrath of the Divine Father. I desire this also from your community. Honoring the poverty, and amid your poverty, be converted and for the reparation of the ingratitude and insults done by so many people. Pray from your heart the prayer of the Eucharistic Servants, and practice it, offer it for the work of redemption. Make the best use of one's ability and current position and offer them with all these.
Even in a secular institute, prayer is necessary. Already souls who want to pray are being gathered. Pray in order to console the Divine Lord fervently and steadfastly without attaching too much importance to the type (of the institute).
After a silence:
"Is what you think in your heart true? Are you truly decided to become the rejected stone? My novice, you who wish to belong without reserve to the Lord, to become the spouse worthy of the Spouse, make your vows knowing that you must be fastened to the Cross with three nails. These three nails are poverty, chastity, and obedience. Of the three, obedience is the foundation. In total abandon, let yourself be led by your superior. He will know how to understand you and to direct you."

The third message, October 13th, 1973
My dear daughter, listen to me carefully. And relay this to your superior.
(After a moment's silence)
As I had told you before, if men do not repent, the Heavenly Father is going to inflict a great chastisement upon mankind. It must definitely be a punishment greater than the Deluge, such as has never been before. Fire will plunge from Heaven and a large part of mankind will die through this calamity. The good as well as the wicked will die, sparing neither priests nor the faithful. Survivors will have such terrible hardships that they would envy the dead. Then, the only weapons which will remain for us will be the Rosary and the sign left by my Divine Son. Every day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the bishops and priests.
The work of Satan will infiltrate even into the Church, where cardinals will oppose cardinals and bishops against bishops. Priests who venerate me will be scorned and attacked by their confreres. Altars and churches will be sacked and the churches will be full of those who compromise. Many priests and religious will abandon their vocations by the temptations by Satan. Especially Satan is working to influence souls consecrated to the Divine Father. The perdition of many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins continue, there would be no longer the forgiveness of sins.
Have courage to tell this to your superior. Your superior will then order everyone to pray fervently by telling them one by one that they must engage in prayers and work of redemption.
Today is the last time that I will communicate with you with my voice. From now on, obey the one sent to you and your superior.
Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. It is only I who can help you from the coming calamities. Those who will rely on me will be helped.
