Letter from Father Hewko



September 8, 2022

Dear Soldiers of the Church Militant,

This letter is being written on Our Lady’s birthday, September 8, 2022. She is the Morning Star bringing light after four thousand years of darkness since Adam’s Fall. Her Immaculate Conception nine months previous, was the very first glimpse of dawn announcing the shining light of the coming Redemption. Then Her birthday arrived, born a beautiful baby girl from St. Anne, her mother. This day was an immense joy for the Most Holy Trinity, joy to the Person of the Son, Who would be born from Her virginal womb in about fifteen years, joy to the millions of angels, joy to the patriarchs in Limbo and joy to men on earth! Even nature burst in color and laughter at Her birth! “Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and Thy glory over all the
earth!
" Psalm 107:6).

Hunters know the consolation of the crack of dawn, when the animals begin to stir, the glow of light appears and darkness begins to recede. So with the Virgin Mary, Her birth announces the coming victory over darkness when the full shining light of Her Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, will be born and accomplish the great work of the Redemption. He will be crucified, die, be buried and rise glorious at His Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven.

Our Lord said of Himself, “He who humbles himself shall be exalted,” and He was horribly humiliated, even to the extreme of being “a worm and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people” (Psalm 21: 7). He was spit on, punched, cruelly kicked, mocked, brutally scourged, crowned with thorns, executed between thieves and at last, pale and exhausted, He died.

But He Who said “Who humbles himself shall be exalted,” was also exceedingly exalted by His inexpressible Resurrection from the tomb, His Ascension into Glory and forever offering His Sacred Face, Heart and Wounds to the Father. “Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; Who is at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us” (Romans 8:34).

As with the Divine Son, so it is with His Blessed Mother! She too, will share intimately with Our Lord’s humiliations and sorrows. "To what shall I compare thee? Or to whom shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem?... for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee?... All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying (pointing to Christ on the Cross): Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth?” (Lamentations 2:13, 14).

Having shared in Christ’s humiliations, Our Lady of Sorrows will share completely in His exaltation. She will be exalted above all angels at Her Assumption into Heaven and Coronation by Christ Himself! “True to His words: “Who humbles himself shall be exalted.”

But as the head and neck don’t act separate from the body, so too, with the Mystical Body of Christ! The Head is Christ, the neck, says St. Bernard, is Our Lady, and the Body is His Church. All the saints shared in some way in the humiliations and sufferings of Christ and now share in His glory in Heaven. “Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the suffering of Christ, in my flesh, for His body, which is the Church” (Colossians 1:24).

But didn’t Christ suffer everything sufficiently? In His Head yes, but not in His Mystical Body! The Church must still fill up what is lacking for the sufferings of the members of Christ’s Mystical Body. Hence, the desire of Our Lady of Fatima to teach us to offer prayers and sacrifices for sinners so they won’t die unconverted and go to Hell forever. The sufferings of the friends of Christ here on earth can make reparation for sin and help convert poor sinners. This is why Our Lady taught the children of Fatima that simple prayer to say when offering anything up to God: “O, my Jesus, it is for the love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

In this way, when humbled with the Sacred Heart of Jesus we will be exalted with Him and His Beautiful Mother in Heaven! This is His promise! Part of this suffering and humiliation is the sweat and dust from the combat for Catholic Tradition, fidelity to Truth without compromise and rejecting the spirit of the world. Now, as a result of the tyrannically imposed toxic needles, for example, thousands are dying from its
effects. But the children of the Light must reject these because of their intricate involvement in abortion. Hence, they ought to be condemned and Catholics take the crosses that come from refusing them, regardless of what the world says or requires!


In Christ the King,

Fr. David Hewko
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
