1. "Sicut in Cælo et in Terra"  (On Earth as it is in Heaven)
   by Robert T. Hart  (56 pgs.)

   COMING  SOON!
   (Pending ecclesiastic approval of The Secret of the Divine Will)

   Two thousand years ago, Our Divine Saviour, Jesus Christ, hid as in secret, the Sanctity of Living in the Divine Will in the prayer He left
   us.  He did this so that all Christians in every age might pray that it be manifest:  Advéniat Regnum Tuum.  Fiat Volúntas Tua.  Sicut in
   Cælo et in terra — "Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done on earth as it
   is in Heaven."

   Throughout Church history, Christians everywhere have faithfully prayed this prayer.  But who among them has really known all that he has been praying for?  The full meaning has been kept from us and remained hidden in the secret counsels of the Trinity.  Yet now, through the spiritual diary the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta — known as the Book of Heaven — a clearer meaning of these words has been made known to us.  We now know that in this prayer we are calling Our Heavenly Father to send us his Kingdom that all might come to do the Will of God here on earth in the same manner that it is done in Heaven.  Already today, Holy Mother Church has honored a number of holy souls that have lived this spirituality in various manners.  These would include souls such as: Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Ven. Concepción de Armida, Servant of God Archbishop Luis Maria Martinez, St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament, St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, Bl. Dina Bélanger and still others.

   If what we have said so far has left you intrigued, you may wish to download the introduction booklet to Luisa's spirituality offered below.  This booklet, Sicut in Cælo et in Terra, is an abridged version of the book, The Secret of the Divine Will, by Robert T. Hart (available from The Center for the Divine Will — NOTE: Both the The Secret of the Divine Will and the abridged downloadable booklet will only begin to be available after the book has received ecclesiastical approval).  While it does not contain all the details and doctrinal support found in the full version, it does contain enough information to get you started in both understanding and practicing this sublime spirituality of Living in the Divine Will.  And, even with the condensing there remains at least minimal documentation to show that this doctrine of Living in the Divine Will is in conformity with traditional Catholic Church teaching.  The booklet is offered free of charge in a downloadable PDF format.  After downloading, it will then be easily printed into a handy booklet for one's own use and for free distribution.

2. "Attention Catholics"  by Robert T. Hart  (48 pgs.)

   "Attention Catholics" contains many helpful reminders of what we must believe and what we must do to save our souls and to be pleasing
   to God.

   Part I  consists of important truths upon which we all need to meditate: Death and Judgment, the Reality of Hell and of Purgatory, and the Wonderful Reality of Heaven.

   Part II  consists of helpful reminders of  what every soul needs to do to be pleasing to God: in one's prayer life, in the House of God, when receiving the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Penance, and in one's manner of dress.  (The section on one's manner of dress is a condensed version of the booklet on modesty offered below.)
   

   Finally there is an Appendix consisting of an extensive Examination of Conscience.

3. "Those Who Serve God Should Not Follow
   The Fashions"  — A treatise on modesty for our times
   by Robert T. Hart  (40 pgs.)

   The title of this booklet is taken from the very words of Our Lady of Fatima.   It contains the Church's true teaching about Christian modesty which has been almost completely forgotten in our day.  There are virtually countless quotations from the Saints and from the Popes.

   Our Lady of Good Success appeared to a holy nun (Mother Mariana) in Quito, Ecuador in the 17th Century with a message of warning which She specifically addressed to our time.  The following words are taken from this Church approved apparition: "…in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury which, acting thus to snare the rest into sin, will conquer innumerable frivolous souls who will be lost.  Innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women, and in this supreme moment of need of the Church, those who should speak will fall silent."  Yet Our Lady has not been silent; thus those who wish to serve God must listen to Her and take heed.

   Today we greatly underestimate just how much Almighty God deplores immodesty.  The following passage from the book Hell, by Fr. Schouppe, S.J., helps us to get the proper perspective:

   "...a noble lady, who was exceedingly pious, asked God to make known to her what displeased His Divine Majesty most in persons of her sex.  The Lord vouchsafed in a miraculous manner to hear her.  He opened under her eyes the Eternal Abyss.  There she saw a woman a prey to cruel torments and in her recognized one of her friends, a short time before deceased.  This sight caused her as much astonishment as grief: the person whom she saw damned did not seem to her to have lived badly.  Then that unhappy soul said to her: 'It is true that I practiced religion, but I was a slave of vanity.  Ruled by the passion to please, I was not afraid to adopt indecent fashions to attract attention, and I kindled the fire of impurity in more than one heart.  Ah! If Christian women knew how much immodesty in dress displeases God!'  At the same moment, this unhappy soul was pierced by two fiery lances, and plunged into a caldron of liquid lead."  (Fr. F. X. Schouppe, S.J., Hell, p. 81.  Rockford IL: TAN Books & Publishers, 1989 [Emphasis added].)

   Therefore, for many Catholics today, this booklet is a "must read" if they want to save their souls "in these unhappy times."

4. "The Novus Ordo Question"  by Robert T. Hart  (52 pgs.)

   "The Novus Ordo Question" Contains information and facts about the New (Novus Ordo) Mass little known to the general Catholic population.

   This booklet was initially written by the author as a letter to himself.  He wrote it as an aid to help him reason out his gut-level feeling that perhaps he (and Catholics in general) should not be attending Novus Ordo Masses, but instead, seek out only the trustworthy Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass.  Certainly the sacrileges one almost always has to endure while attending the New Mass are difficult to endure.  Yet, in researching the subject, he found there was something deeper and more objective to The Novus Ordo Question than just having to personally endure sacrileges or to participate in practices that, in his own opinion, did not build up the Faith.

   For instance, the former head of the Holy Office, Cardinal Ottaviani, stated in his famous letter of alarm to Pope Paul VI concerning the New Mass: "...the Novus Ordo Missæ...represents, as a whole and in detail, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Holy Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent, which, by fixing definitively the 'canons' of the rite, erected an insurmountable barrier against any heresy which might attack the integrity of the Mystery."

   He also found that Pope Benedict XVI has shown clear displeasure with the Novus Ordo.  In his book The Spirit of the Liturgy (written when he was the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith), he called the New Mass a "fabricated liturgy...a banal on-the-spot product," which has divorced itself from the proper "organic, living process of growth and development" that takes place "over centuries."  (Ratzinger, J., The Spirit of the Liturgy, pp. 165-6.  San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2000.)

   The author found many other surprises which have serious and far reaching effects contributing to the current crisis in the Church.  For those who have not already looked below the surface to discover the grave problems with the Novus Ordo (even in its original Latin form), we believe this booklet will be a real eye-opener!  Once read, we believe you will want to copy this booklet and distribute it to fellow Catholics.

   How many Catholics do we see today who attend the New Mass weekly (or even daily) and yet — because the "insurmountable barrier" has been removed allowing for the present "attack on the integrity of the Mystery" — are losing their Faith!  For instance, many such souls have lost their Catholic belief in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament.  It would also seem that the majority have lost their understanding of the Divine Sacrifice that takes place at Mass!  To avoid the guilt of silently participating in sacrilege and to safeguard our Catholic Faith, should faithful Catholics avoid this New Mass and rather attend only the Traditional Latin (Tridentine) Mass or the un-tampered-with Liturgies of the Catholic Eastern Rites?

   This then, is "The Novus Ordo Question"!  As long as the present crisis in the Church continues, each one must decide before God how he will answer that question...

5. "Mortalium Animos" — On Religious Unity
   Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius XI  (20 pgs.)

   "Mortalium Animos" was published by Pope Pius XI in 1928.  Never having been revoked, it remains the Church's true and authoritative teaching on Religious Unity (Ecumenism).

   This encyclical is short and easy-to-read.  It contains sensible, down-to-earth instruction clearly conveying the Church's perennial teaching on this subject.  In today's atmosphere of religious indifferentism and false ecumenism, it is vital reading for all Catholics desiring to remain true to the fullness of the faith.

   For, the new "Ecumenical Venture" promoted by today's churchmen (which is not a doctrine demanding an assent of Faith), stands in direct opposition to the Church's perennial teaching.  Cardinal Kaspar, the head of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity has stated: "Today we no longer understand ecumenism in the sense of a return, by which the others would 'be converted' and return to being 'Catholics'" (Adista, February 26, 2001).

   But in contrast, in Mortalium Animos we find Pope Pius XI confirming again what has always been the mind of the Church on Religious Unity: "The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it."  He also stated: "In reality beneath these enticing words and blandishments [which promote the modern idea of ecumenism] lies hid a most grave error, by which the foundations of the Catholic faith are completely destroyed."

   Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe took this teaching to heart, never giving way to the spirit of religious indifferentism.  To acheive Christian unity he proclaimed that it was the goal of his Knights of the Immaculata (the Blessed Virgin Mary) to convert all people, whether Protestant, Jew, or Muslim to the Catholic Faith.  Thus, he wrote in his diary on April 23, 1933:

   "There is no greater enemy of the Immaculata and Her Knighthood than today's ecumenism, which every knight must not only fight against, body and soul, but also neutralized through diametrically opposed action and ultimately destroy" (Cited in The Immaculate, Our Ideal, Fr. Karl Stehlin, p. 37.  Warsaw: Te Deum, 1995).

   Pope Pius XII would again confirm that this is the mind of the Church in his 1949 Instructio: "True reunion can only come about by the return of the dissidents to the one true Church of Christ" (Instructio [The Instruction from the Holy Office on the Ecumenical Movement] Dec. 20, 1949).

6. "We Have Found The True Faith" 
   by Robert T. Hart  (40 pgs.)

   The purpose of "We Have Found The True Faith" is simply to make known to all who seek the truth, the one, true religion revealed by God (i.e. the Catholic Religion).  For, only by coming to know the truth Faith can one embrace it, live by it, and thus come to save their souls in the unending bliss of eternal life that God has promised to those who love Him.  "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"
   (John 8:32).

   Additionally, we have added a sermon by the renowned 19th century Jesuit, Fr. Arnold Damen, entitled "The Church or the Bible" clearly showing that it is impossible that the way of salvation is through the Bible alone (Sola Scriptura) as the Protestants all teach.  As stated in the introduction to this sermon:

   Every sincere Bible reader deserves to know the true relation God has established between His Church and Holy Scripture.  We, therefore, invite all who love the Bible to read Father Damen’s exposition with an open mind, lest while reading the Scriptures "they wrest them to their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:16).

   "We have seen the True Light, we have received the Heavenly Spirit, WE HAVE FOUND THE TRUE FAITH, worshipping the Undivided Trinity, for the Trinity has saved us!"
   (Catholic Byzantine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom)

7. "The Mystery Of The Wizard Clip" (40 pgs.) 
   — The narration in this booklet is taken from Father J. M. Finotti’s valuable collection of documents entitled "The Mystery of the Wizard Clip" (Baltimore, 1879, 143pp.).

   "The Mystery of the Wizard Clip" is "One of the most wonderful manifestations of God’s benevolence during the struggles of the primitive Church in these United States —" such is the impressive estimate of the learned Jesuit scholar, Father Joseph M. Finotti, concerning the extraordinary but little known spiritual drama which took place some 200 years ago near Martinsburg, West Virginia.

   And in fact, in the year 1797, on a farm near the present Middleway, Jefferson County, West Virginia, a Lutheran family was saved from diabolical persecutions by a Catholic priest and then instructed in the Catholic religion by a mysterious, invisible Voice from the other world, that continued for seventeen years to enlighten, guide, and inspire these former Protestants and their Catholic friends to live as fervent and model Christians.  Frequently during those years, this mystic Voice, whose "influence was always beneficial," communicated timely warnings, prophecies, and messages of charity and mercy for many persons, which resulted in numerous conversions.  That such seemingly miraculous phenomena did actually take place has never been questioned by serious historians.

   As the events of this true story bring to light the teaching of the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation, it seemed appropriate to include Rev. Michael Muller's "Questions And Answers On Salvation," first published in 1875.  As the truths of the Salvation can never change, the teaching contained in this article remains just as valid today as it was in the 19th century.  Distribute this wondrous story of the Wizard Clip so that many others may benefit from its revelations.

8. "The Last Times" by Fr. Jacques Emily  (16 pgs.)
         (To send for printed copies see contact information next to icon below)*

   "The Last Times" is a serious but touching letter from a pastor of souls to his flock.  His purpose for writing this letter is simply the fatherly concern he has for them during these times of so great danger to their eternal salvation.

   Drawing on three of Our Lady's authentic messages (La Salette, Fatima & Quito), Fr. Emily states: "My priestly heart wants to echo once more for your souls the words of Our Heavenly Mother...."  As these messages were given us by Our Lady specifically to guide us through the present times, Fr. Emily uses them to point out the dangers that currently surround us as well as the means given us by Our Lady to protect ourselves from these dangers and thus save our souls.

   In this booklet Fr. Emily also briefly reveals the diabolical Masonic plan that has been crafted to corrupt man and to destroy the Church.  Once having understood this, the reader will easily see that that plan has already been greatly and successfully put into effect.

   While making it clear that the times are, indeed, more dangerous than ever for our souls, he insists there is no need for discouragement.  Rather — as he pleads from his priestly heart — we must only heed the voice of Our Heavenly Mother.
