THE TREE OF EVIL “The change and overthrow of reverence for divine laws, disregard for the authority of rulers, lawlessness, unbridled sedition, total lack of restraint of the passions – this is a combination that will result in the overthrow of all things. This change and overthrow is deliberately planned and put forward by many associations: Communists, Socialists and Freemasons.” Pope Leo XIII, 1884 Every conspirator has two things in common with every other conspirator: He must be an accomplished liar and a far-seeing planner. To achieve his goal of establishing a Socialist dictatorship of the proletariat, three things will have to be accomplished:
The Church has been accused of silence when She should have spoken out. St. Paul admonished us to: “Preach the word, be urgent in season, and out of season.” (2 Tim. 4-2) Today, we cannot be silent in the face of a persecution of religion – the cruelest and most widespread in history! The devil goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour souls. Watch and pray, lest you be overtaken! Be on the alert when you hear the promotion of social justice, secularized education, moral permissiveness, divorce, abortion, contraception, euthanasia, homosexuality, sexual license, alternative families, freedom of conscience and integral humanism! The enemies of Holy Mother the Church seek to de-Catholicize the world and destroy the Natural Order. Freemasonry is a secret Society and its true purpose is hidden. Socialism is the bait and excuse to establish a dictatorship of the elite. If we will study Masonry’s world-wide revolutionary activity since 1717, it will be evident to us that their agenda remains the same today as it was then. We will try to expose the evils of the system of Communism by presenting it as a Tree. How do we know that it is an evil tree? We know this by the fruit which it bears. Christ told us, we could recognize the goodness or badness of a tree by the fruit which it produces. Communism has very bad fruit; hatred of God and hatred of one’s fellow man. It brings into use falsehood, cheating, and disloyalty. It is an artificial tree. A tree planted in human blood, nourished by human blood and forever dripping in human blood! We do not want that tree planted in America. It is the Tree of Death! Guard yourself against it and do not let it poison you, your family or God’s Nation: One Nation under God with Liberty and Justice for All! The roots of this evil tree are four-fold: Atheism, Dialectical Materialism, Naturalism and Class Struggle. Communism says, “There is no Law Giver, Creator or Designer.” Religion must be uprooted! Their control over those they desire to rule must be complete. Our soul comes straight from the Hands of Almighty God. We are made in the image of God. Our goal and hope is to be one day present to God, face to face, for all Eternity. This incarnation of Evil sees the U.S.A. as the last major obstacle to its universal dominance. It has infiltrated our country to the very top. Sixteen of the Presidents of America’s Republic have belonged to the Order of Freemasonry. Rationalism and occultism are a vital part of its fabric. Naturalism takes the place of supernaturalism. Only the morality created by man himself is recognized. The Masonic method to question all that is regarded as truth, is carried on continuously. There must be no absolutes. There are no images, no sacrifices, no prayers, no Sacraments, no graces, no priesthood and no worship. Freemasonic Society is not a church. It believes only in Reason and in Humanity. “The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.” Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger CDF – November 26, 1983 One of the most cunning tools put into use is “criticism,” criticism of all that is established: truth, tradition, dogma, family, morals, dress, behavior, modesty, culture and beauty. This is all replaced by free speech, free love, body mutilation i.e. tattoos, piercings, ugliness, greed, welfare, lust and self. A culture of godliness, hard work, family and self-sufficiency is replaced by a ‘share the wealth’ program which is strictly a confidence game to get people to surrender their freedoms to an all-powerful collectivist government. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely! This is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but it is a movement created, manipulated and used by power-seeking billionaires in order to gain control over the world. America’s graduated income tax and central banks are two powerful tools for socializing this country. The Federal Reserve System controls our money supply and interest rates, and can thereby manipulate the entire economy. Nothing runs up a National debt like a World War. The conspiracy has been planning our wars for over five decades. Assassinations, bombings and the manipulations of Wall Street, all make the world safe for international bankers. Financial dynasties establish the Economic Policy of the world. For a hundred years, the USA has been financing and equipping both sides of the war, killing our own soldiers by proxy. Does it make any sense to spend $75 billion a year on National Defense and, then, to deliberately increase the war-making potential of an avowed enemy? It does to the “Insiders”! When egotism and atheism, for the two are identical in the last analysis, dominate a majority of people in the world, war results! When charity, justice and truth prevail in hearts, the danger of war is greatly diminished. A time of deep trouble lies directly ahead. In every period of history, between the fall of one civilization and the rise of another, there is always an interregnum of barbarism. From a political point of view, the war is between the East and the West. From a moral point of view, the danger caused by the common hatred of the West is drawing Islam and Communism together to unite in a war against Christian civilization. What we are witnessing is the Communist tactic from above, and pressure from below: radicalized mobs in the streets below and a giant financial pincer to control the American middle class which is being squeezed to death. Change is the key word; by change these groups mean Socialism! Radical students are not going to take over the government; what they are going to do is to provide the excuse for the government to take over the people. More repressive laws will be passed to “keep things under control.” Socialism is not a movement of the downtrodden masses but of power hungry elitists. Revolutionaries target the youth! The tools being used by the Craft in our Public Schools are many; sex education being the leader. Parents are often times designated as ‘Enemy #1’ – Report them! Don’t listen to them! Disobey them! Freedom of thought and conscience prevail. Their view of the Universal Republic or World Government will not come as a surprise to anyone. The League of Education is Masonic; most fraternal organizations are essentially Masonic. The hour of Freemasonry has tolled! From afar, they recognize no tradition, experience or social stability. Free thinking is their social model: Liberty, Equality and Fraternity! Have you not seen this on the most current USA Postal stamps? Liberty frees man from the authority of the natural and supernatural order. Equality frees man from authority for all are the consensus of religious, philosophical, moral and political truths. “The chief dogmas of Freemasonry are so greatly and manifestly at variance with reason, that nothing can be more perverse.” Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus – 1884 This dark sect has infected our homes like a mortal germ which contaminates the wellbeing, fertility and very life of society. We see the permanent personification of revolution in a deep rebellion against the established order, against God and His Church. Every class in society is affected and the goal is the overthrow of the whole religious and political order of the world which Christian teaching has produced. Their goal is to make human nature and human reason mistress and guide. The authority which guides them does not come from God; it comes from the devil and therefore is illegitimate. Time and again, we see in its wake, bloody persecutions and the closure of religious schools and institutions. Occult practices are adopted: Pantheism is directly opposed to the dogma of creation and substitutes for it the deification of man. Reincarnation is a new doctrine introduced which is incompatible with Catholic teaching. Spiritism is the occult science which suggests spirit mediums are the go-betweens of the living and the dead. All Spiritist practices are forbidden. Satan never appears as he is but always hides himself as an Angel of Light, as a Comforter or as the Spirit of Truth. This Father of Lies, in order to deceive, becomes an angel of Peace. Inter-religious relations and negotiations are his forte! Our society is pervaded with rationalism and a refusal to submit to natural and supernatural divine order. Occultism and witchcraft are gaining great popularity not only among our youth but also among business men and religious. Suicide is skyrocketing. Let us protect our souls from these dangers by avoiding all mediums, fortune tellers, ouija boards, magic, tarot cards and superstition. The Freemasons codified the Declaration of Human Rights in 1789 which has replaced the Ten Commandments! The French Revolution was their masterpiece and the battlefield was the Catholic Church: Exterminate Her! Ven. Pauline Jaricot lived in those times and her answer to the Exterminator was the Rosary, the Eucharist, the Miraculous Medal, missionary zeal and St. Philomena!!! The struggle today is between two camps: the forces of good and the forces of evil. We must take sides! Christ said, “He who is not with Me, is against Me.” The sons of light must match and surpass the fanatic enthusiasm of God’s enemies. We must, with a new and determined purpose, promote in every human heart the Reign of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom of Justice, Truth and Love. The pardon of Christ, the peace of Christ and the joy of Christ must be given to all men and to all nations, and God must reign over them. Any other plans for peace are futile. Our efforts, then, must NOT be spent in being anti-Socialist, anti-Communist or anti-Masonic, but we MUST become each and every day more and more pro-God! We must wear the identifying mark of those who belong to Him – LOVE. The poison of hate carried by the members of the city of darkness must never be ours. Love must be the instrument we use to reshape the world in the image of its Creator. We must win by the charity of God, by His justice and by His truth. Amid the darkening clouds which gather ominously on our national horizon, a shaft of dazzling blue appears and offers us radiant hope for the future. This shaft of blue is Mary, the Immaculate Mother of God, to whom our country has been solemnly dedicated. Two thousand years ago, Incarnate Light dawned upon the pagan Roman world. Christ came through Mary! She is His gift of Peace to the world and this Peace is contained in her Immaculate Heart. She is the Woman clothed with the sun, the Woman strong as an army in battle array, invested with the mission to do battle against the powers of darkness. We, the Children of Mary, fight under the banner of Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of all Graces. Her battle plan is undefeated and impenetrable. If we encircle this dark night of the 21st Century with the Light of Divine Truth, plunge it into the flames of Redemptive Love, and if we respond with total commitment, we can be infallibly sure of victory. Only then, we will be able to pass on to our children the noble Tree of Liberty that they may: Live in Freedom and for God! (Excerpts from “AN EVIL TREE” by Agnes Murphy) |

NOVENA TO THE HOLY GHOST Those who devoutly assist at the public novena in honor of the Holy Ghost immediately preceding the Feast of Pentecost, may gain: (1) An indulgence of 10 years on any day of the novena; (2) A plenary indulgence, if they take part in at least five of the exercises on condition of Confession, Communion and prayer for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff. Those who make a private novena in honor of the Holy Ghost either before Pentecost or at any other time of the year, may gain: (1) An indulgence of seven years once on any day of their novena; (2) A plenary indulgence on condition of Confession, Communion and prayer for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff at the close of the novena; but if a public novena is held, this indulgence is available only to those who are lawfully hindered from taking part in it. (Enchirdion Indulgentiarum No. 284) FIRST DAY Holy Spirit! Lord of Light! THE HOLY GHOST Only one thing is important – Eternal Salvation! Only one thing, therefore, is to be feared – Sin! Sin is the result of ignorance, weakness and indifference. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Light, of Strength, and of Love. With His sevenfold gifts He enlightens the mind, strengthens the will and inflames the heart with love of God. To ensure our salvation, we ought to invoke the Divine Spirit, daily, for “The Spirit helpeth our infirmity. We know not what we should pray for as we ought. But, the Spirit Himself asketh for us.” PRAYER Almighty and Eternal God, Who hast vouchsafed to regenerate us by water and the Holy Ghost, and hast given us forgiveness of all sins, vouchsafe to send forth from Heaven upon us Thy sevenfold Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Fortitude, the Spirit of Knowledge and Piety, and fill us with the Spirit of Holy Fear. Amen. The Prayers below are to be offered, daily, after the Novena meditation. ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY GHOST On my knees, before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself, soul and body, to Thee, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice and the might of Thy Love. Thou art the strength and light of my soul. In Thee, I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Thy light, and listen to Thy voice, and follow Thy gracious inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee and ask Thee, by Thy compassion, to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus, and looking at His five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood, and adoring His opened side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee. Give me grace, O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere: “Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth.” Amen. A Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into Heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of thy apostles and disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal; the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the Light of Thy Divine Truth; the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven; the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation; the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints; the Spirit of Piety that i may find the service of God sweet and amiable; the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit! Amen. (7 Our Father, 7 Hail Mary, 7 Glory Be) SECOND DAY Come, Thou Father of the poor! b The Gift of Fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us dread nothing so much as to offend Him by sin. It is a fear that arises, not from the thought of Hell, but from sentiments of reverence and filial submission to our heavenly Father. It is the fear that is the beginning of wisdom, detaching us from the worldly pleasures that could in any way separate us from God. “They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts and, in His sight, will sanctify their souls.” PRAYER Come, O Blessed Spirit of Holy Fear, penetrate my inmost heart that I may set Thee, my Lord and God, before my face forever; help me to shun all things that can offend Thee, and make me worthy to appear before the pure Eyes of Thy Divine Majesty in Heaven, where Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the ever Blessed Trinity, God, world without end. Amen. THIRD DAY Thou, of all consolers best, THE GIFT OF PIETY The Gift of Piety begets in our hearts a filial affection for God as our most loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect, for His sake, persons and things consecrated to Him, as well as those who are vested with His authority, His Blessed Mother and the Saints, the Church and its visible Head, our parents and superiors, our country and its rulers. He, who is filled with the Gift of Piety, finds the practice of his religion, not a burdensome duty, but a delightful service. Where there is love, there is no labor. Come, O Blessed Spirit, possess my heart. Enkindle therein such a love for God that I may find satisfaction only in His service and for His sake lovingly submit to all legitimate authority. Amen. FOURTH DAY Thou in toil art comfort sweet; THE GIFT OF FORTITUDE By the Gift of Fortitude, the soul is strengthened against natural fear, and supported to the end in the performance of duty. Fortitude imparts to the will an impulse and energy which move it to undertake, without hesitancy, the most arduous tasks, to face dangers, to trample under foot human respect, and to endure without complaint the slow martyrdom of even lifelong tribulation. “He that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.” PRAYER Come, O Blessed Spirit of Fortitude, uphold my soul in time of trouble and adversity, sustain my efforts after holiness, strengthen my weakness, give me courage against all the assaults of my enemies, that I may never be overcome and separated from Thee, my God and greatest Good. Amen. FIFTH DAY Light Immortal! Light Divine! THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE The Gift of Knowledge enables the soul to evaluate created things at their true worth in their relation to God. Knowledge unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness, and points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of God. It shows us the loving care of God even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in every circumstance of life. Guided by its light, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of God beyond all else. “Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it.” PRAYER Come, O Blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the Will of the Father; show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for Thy glory and my own salvation, looking ever beyond them to Thee, and Thy eternal rewards. Amen. SIXTH DAY If Thou take Thy grace away, THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING Understanding, as a Gift of the Holy Ghost, helps us to grasp the meaning of the truths of our holy religion. By Faith, we know them but, by Understanding, we learn to appreciate and relish them. It enables us to penetrate the inner meaning of revealed truths and, through them, to be quickened to a newness of life. Our faith ceases to be sterile and inactive, but inspires a mode of life that bears eloquent testimony to the faith that is in us; we begin to “walk worthy of God in all things pleasing, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” PRAYER Come, O Spirit of Understanding and enlighten our minds that we may know and believe all the mysteries of salvation; and may merit at last to see the eternal light in Thy Light; and in the light of glory to have a clear vision of Thee, and the Father and the Son. Amen. SEVENTH DAY Heal our wounds, our strength renew; THE GIFT OF COUNSEL The Gift of Counsel endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what must be done, especially in difficult circumstances. Counsel applies the principles furnished by Knowledge and Understanding to the innumerable concrete cases that confront us in the course of our daily duty as parents, teachers, public servants and Christian citizens. Counsel is supernatural common sense, a priceless treasure in the quest of salvation. “Above all these things, pray to the Most High, that He may direct thy way in truth.” PRAYER Come, O Spirit of Counsel, help and guide me in all ways that I may always do Thy Will. Incline my heart to that which is good; turn it away from all that is evil, and direct me by the straight path of Thy Commandments to that goal of Eternal Life for which I long. Amen. EIGHTH DAY Bend the stubborn heart and will, THE GIFT OF WISDOM Embodying all the other Gifts, as Charity embraces all the other Virtues, Wisdom is the most perfect of the Gifts. Of Wisdom, it is written, “All good things come to me with her, and innumerable riches through her hands.” It is the Gift of Wisdom that strengthens our Faith, fortifies Hope, perfects Charity, and promotes the practice of Virtue in the highest degree. Wisdom enlightens the mind to discern and relish things divine, in the appreciation of which, earthly joys lose their savor, whilst the Cross of Christ yields a divine sweetness according to the words of the Savior: “Take up thy cross and follow Me, for My yoke is sweet and My burden light.” PRAYER Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their exceeding greatness, power and beauty. Teach me to love them above and beyond all the passing joys and satisfactions of earth. Help me to attain them and possess them forever. Amen. NINTH DAY Thou, on those who evermore THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY GHOST The Gifts of the Holy Ghost perfect the supernatural virtues by enabling us to practice them with greater docility to divine inspiration. As we grow in the knowledge and love of God under the direction of the Holy Ghost, our service becomes more sincere and generous, and the practice of virtue more perfect. Such acts of virtue leave the heart filled with joy and consolation and are known as Fruits of the Holy Ghost. These Fruits, in turn, render the practice of virtue more attractive and become a powerful incentive for still greater efforts in the service of God. PRAYER Come, O Divine Spirit, fill my heart with Thy heavenly Fruits: Thy Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Benignity, Goodness, Longanimity, Mildness, Faith, Modesty, Continency and Chastity that I may never weary in the service of God, but by continued faithful submission to Thy inspiration may merit to be united eternally with Thee in the love of the Father and the Son. Amen. O, Holy Ghost, I offer Thee the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, His most Precious Blood, the sorrowful, humble, pure, obedient and Immaculate Heart of Mary, to repair for all my offenses and negligences. I consecrate myself unreservedly to Thee. I place all my trust in Thee. Help me to make Thee better known and loved throughout the world. Give me an intense zeal for souls to console Jesus, strengthen my love and confidence in our Blessed Mother. |

Share Your Gift of FaithFor centuries, our cherished Catholic faith has been passed from person to person, parent to child, etc. Each of us carries in our heart a special memory of how God first graced us with the knowledge of the faith and how Our Blessed Mother, Saint Philomena, Venerable Pauline Jaricot and other saints changed our lives and brought us closer to Christ. In our work in the Universal Living Rosary Association, we see first hand how millions of souls are currently living without that knowledge of God and are living outside of His grace. We have been given a beautiful opportunity to carry out Christ’s work and pass on our faith and blessings to others who would otherwise never be introduced to Our Lord, the Savior of all mankind. Just as we pray for the souls in Purgatory who have no one to pray for them, we should also make it a part of our life’s mission to pass on our faith to as many souls as possible who have no one else to pass it on to them, who don’t know Our Lord and His promise of salvation.
This is the box we send out to the foreign Missions $77.95. It contains Rosaries, Scapulars, Miraculous Medals, Cord & Oil, Newsletters, Calendars, Catechism books, 2 TAN books, large color prints, lists and encouragement for our Promoters. |
