"Directives"
#15
HOLY MATRIMONY
"THE GIFT
OF THE SACRAMENT is at the same time a vocation and commandment
for the Christian spouses, that hey may remain faithful to each
other forever, beyond every trial and difficulty, in generous
obedience to the holy will of the Lord: 'What therefore God has
joined together, let no man put asunder.'" - Familiaris Consortio,
Pope John Paul II, Nov. 22, 1981
JOINED
- "The act of marriage blessed by the Father must not be dissolved
to suit mankind in his carnal nature and loss of the knowledge of
God. What God has joined together no man shall place asunder." -
Our Lady, December 28, 1974
DESPICABLE
- "The Eternal Father has given mankind a set of rules, and in
discipline they must be obeyed. It behooves Me to say that My
heart is torn by the actions, the despicable actions, of My
clergy. I unite, as your God, man and woman into the holy state of
matrimony. And what I have bound together no man must place
asunder. And what do I see but broken homes, marriages dissolved
through annulments! It has scandalized your nation, and it is
scandalizing the world. Woe to the teachers and leaders who
scandalize the sheep!" - Jesus, May 3, 1978
PROPAGATION
- "The act of the union of the flesh was created as the means
for the propagation of life upon your earth. We have seen the
defaming of this sacred ritual of your God. You fornicate like
animals, and when you sin you will not stand up and accept the
fruits of your vulgarity. "The union of the flesh will produce as
the Father has deemed it. Should you use this in any manner
contrary to the laws of your God, you shall reap what you have
sown." - Our Lady, May 10, 1972
HUMANAE VITAE*
- "The encyclical of Pope Paul on birth control is true and
must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of
sin. There shall be no excuse for the murder of the unborn. Sin
has become a way of life among mankind, but Heaven does not
condone murder. Heaven cannot condone sin, though the Eternal
Father in His mercy is most merciful and long suffering and
forgiving." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976
STRENGTH
- "The strength for souls will be found in the family circle."
- Our Lady, December 31, 1972
ANNULMENTS
- "Families are disintegrating. I must tell you now, My
children, the family must be returned to the holy state it was
constructed for. We shall never approve nor accept marriage and
cohabitation without marriage. We shall not accept the annulments
that are being given now to so many without due cause." - Our
Lady, September 27, 1986
COMMON-LAW
- "O My child and My children, never have We seen from the
beginning of time a world in such chaos. And also, I shall not
speak with words that affright your heart, my child, but I wish it
known that this new modern role of what they call 'marriage
without marriage'-which means living as 'common-law,' I
understand, My children shall not be tolerated in Heaven. It was
never the plan of the Eternal Father that man and woman shall live
as animals.
"Fornication shall never be accepted. There is no excuse for
fornication. If you cannot remain celibate, better then that you
must then be married. It is better, My child and My children, to
be married than to burn in hell. "I also ask that all of My
children of the world review the Ten Commandments." - Our Lady,
November 1, 1985
BLACK CLOUD
- My children, when My Son returns upon your earth, will He
find even a flicker of faith left in the hearts of mankind? In the
days of Sodom, so too were men giving themselves over to all the
pleasures of the flesh: eating, drinking, marrying, giving in
marriage. All manner of sinful lusts were being committed. Men
shameful with men, women casting aside their role of motherhood
and lusting after women. As it was in the days of Sodom, so now is
this black cloud over America. - Our Lady, July 14, 19 79
SACREDNESS
- "The sacredness of marriage and the married life of man and
woman must not be destroyed by debased sensuality. It is a private
consummation between man and woman and the family. It is not an
object of derisive laughter and scornful jokes, My children. "Your
actions are observed by the Eternal Father Who looks into your
heart Pure thoughts, pure mind, pure spirit-what goes into the
heart will come out." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975
FAMILY
- "Pray constantly your Rosary, your beads of prayer to
Heaven. Remain unified in your family lives. The institution of
your country-the great foundation is based on family life. Destroy
the family and you destroy your country." - Our Lady, June 18,
1980
DISINTEGRATION
- My children, if you could only recover the peace and quiet
of spirit that was once much evident in your homes and now has
been replaced by all manner of creations of Satan, creations that
distract the minds of the innocent....
"The parents of many have fallen into the error of feeding the
body and starving the young souls. These souls, in the eyes of the
Eternal Father, are young flowers that must be nourished with pure
waters of truth, purpose, dedication to the road place them on the
road that will lead to the eternal Kingdom of God your Father in
Heaven." - Our Lady, July 24, 1976
DO HONOR
- "Families, bring honor to your homes. Fathers, be a father;
discipline your children. Mothers, do not discard your role as the
mother. Why have you sought to stand side by side with your
husband without being subservient to him? You have lost your
honor. The example you give to your children can lead them nowhere
but into the darkness. A strong tree will bear good fruit. A tree
that is fed with impure waters will not grow to maturity, but will
die and wither on the vine." - St. Joseph, March 18, 19 74
ARTIFICIAL MEANS
- "Man shall not seek to create life by artificial means, for
you destroy the very nature of your humanity. And you shall
receive for such actions a just punishment, in chastisement from
the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, October 6, 1979
PRAYER
- "We are quite pleased with the words the Spirit sent unto
man that the family that prays together will stay together, My
child. No truer a message was ever coined. The family that prays
together will stay together." - Our Lady, June 18, 1974
Annulment
Statistics
"There are 431,000,000 members of the Roman Catholic Church under
the jurisdiction of the Pope. The decrees of nullity granted by
the Roman Rota over a period of years has the surprisingly low
figure of 16 for a yearly average of decrees of nullity."
"In 1968 there were 450 Catholic marriage annulments in the U.S.,
but 48,000 in 1981!"
"More than 61,400 U.S. Catholics were granted annulments in 1989,
the last year for which figures are available."
