Quote:The Green Markets North American Fertilizer Index, already high, jumped 16% last Friday. Urea, a major fertilizer ingredient, went up 22%. Potash, another major ingredient (Russia is the top producer), increased 34% in Brazil, the world’s leading fertilizer importer. The price for standard “starter fertilizer” 10-34-0 is up 49% from a year ago and likely to go much higher.

Bloomberg analyst Alexis Maxwell calls it “a slow-moving disaster.”

The issue is that farmland without fertilizer is vastly less productive. Without fertilizer, corn and wheat yields in the United States would decline by more than 40%. But as prices promise to go much higher, farmers will either have to skimp on fertilizer or raise prices of their own products a lot.

Then, too, there are skyrocketing prices for gasoline and diesel, which are essential for today’s mechanized farming and for getting food to consumers. Add these increases in cost and decreases in production to the shortages likely to come from the Ukraine invasion, and we’re looking at really dramatic increases in food prices.

In the event that anyone doubts the continued progress of the SSPX towards modernist Rome, there is an "official announcement" on their website detailing that Fr. Pagliarani met with Francis on February 8th. One wonders why this announcement was made six weeks after the fact and on the same day as the blasphemous "consecration",  when we should rather be honoring Our Lady and her Divine Son in the mystery of the Incarnation. One also wonders how it is possible to share polite conversations and memories of Argentina with the enemies of the Church, rather than denouncing the heresies of Vatican II. This is yet another scandal and betrayal of the spirit Archbishop Lefebvre. God bless our faithful priests, few though they may be, who are fighting on the front lines for Truth without compromise in the spirit of their Founder!

Dear Oblates, Friends and Benefactors,

I am writing to warn you about the false consecration that Pope Francis will carry out with many bishops of the world. It will use a formula of "consecration" that has as its purpose the "false peace”, using as a means to obtain it, a "consecration" of the Church, of humanity, and especially of Russia and Ukraine.

To begin with, the formula is ambiguous, it uses at the same level and without distinction, human peace and Divine Peace; human unity merges with Divine unity. The aforementioned consecration for "human unity" mixes this with the true consecration that will not be done, which is what the Blessed Virgin of Fatima has been asking to be done for 93 years, a consecration that implies asking for the separation of Russia from the rest of the world, to deliver it to Divine unity…so that Russia may belong to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! So that through Her it will belong to God, and not to purely human unity! (UN) that Jesus Christ never promised or sought.

This consecration is modernist, blasphemous, lying, hypocritical, and ambiguous. This formula implies that the Blessed Virgin Mary agrees to work for a false ecumenism of religious freedom. It implies that the Blessed Virgin Mary seeks Masonic peace. It implies that the Blessed Virgin Mary identifies with the Pachamama by also applying to Mary Most Holy the title that is applied in Chile to the Pachamama by the Mapuas, from being "Land of Heaven" to "Mother Earth”.

Pope Francis seeks with this "consecration" to align Russia and Ukraine with the "new world order" that seeks "peace", "the dreams of peace of the peoples and the hopes of the young" (Goal of the UN).

In other words, it seeks to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the service of the new ideologies and the new Abrahamic religion. In the formula is included the word "fraternity" with a Masonic sense, attributing with blasphemy to the Blessed Virgin, Queen, the mission of "showing the peoples the path of fraternity". It is the same "peace" and "fraternity" of the UN to which Francis has asked us to submit on several occasions.

This “consecration”, being humanistic and ecumenical, necessarily seeks to consecrate us NOT to the Living God, but to the universal "god", "to the god of the world", to the god of the new world order, to Satan. In short, this event will be a diabolical prodigy with appearances of a miracle seeking to "deceive even the elect.”

In view of such great enthusiasm, I call on all of you and all Catholics not to join this "consecration." What we can do in reparation and obedience to the Blessed Virgin and to Our Most Holy Redeemer is to offer fasting, penance, prayer, and mortification this same March 25 in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary for this unspeakable outrage towards their beloved and most sacred Hearts.

Let us make this offer as requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary to the children in Fatima:

"O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

Whatever we do in the day offer it to console the Heart of Mary and repeat throughout the day this ejaculation: "Immaculate Heart of Mary, be the salvation of my soul." It is the prayer that Jacinta made all the time.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, forgive such an offense, and may she convert our hearts and have mercy on us in the great and imminent punishment announced by the apostasy and prevarication of Catholics who did not want to listen to or obey our Mother of Heaven.



With my Blessing,

Rev. Father Rafael OSB

CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

My dear friends,

There is much being said about Pope Francis' upcoming Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart on March 25, 2022. Since the text of the formula being used was released a few days ago, it has caused a myriad of emotions.

Some believe that there is enough of the 'essentials' of Heaven's request to possibly fulfil the requirements (e.g. see here). If this is true, wouldn't it be incredibly ironic that one of the most corrupt popes in history (Pope Francis) may be the one to fulfill, more closely than Pius XII or JPII, the necessary requirements for the complete Consecration?

Others think that the formula and other requirements are not being completely done, that Francis' Consecration will fall into the same category as the Consecrations of Popes Pius XII and John Paul II - that of an incomplete Consecration (see here). 

On the other hand, the sedevacantists and any one else who denies Francis is the pope, are screaming that this is a sacrilege because of the Conciliar verbiage and because of Pope Francis' errors.

Where the truth lies we don't know. We may have a better idea after the Consecration. 

But whatever the outcome, the very best we laity can do is to try tomorrow to honor Our Lady, to make prayers of reparation, to offer ourselves to the Immaculate Heart, and to pray especially for the clergy, for it was to the pope and the bishops this dictate was given. 

Let us leave aside all the clamor. Let us follow the advice of Fr. Hewko and Fr. Ruiz, who remind us to humbly offer our prayers in reparation to the Immaculate Heart. The rest is in God's Hands. He has foreseen all that will occur. March 25th is the Feast of the Annunciation. Let us imitate the great humility of Our Lady as She was greeted by the Angel Gabriel, whose feast is today. And may God's will be done.
