Be still, and see that I am God…

Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus…

Psalm 45:11

I’ve been a science geek since pretty much day one, and I’ve always been ESPECIALLY fascinated by anything to do with astronomy and astrophysics.  I consider it a great consolation, and CLEARLY of the Divine Providence that here, now, in what appears to be a massive epochal shift at minimum, or the End of All Things at maximum, that we have the technology to not only SEE the physical universe in ways never before imagined, but that such knowledge can be so easily shared and consumed on YouTube.

When I was a very young sapling, while knowing without a doubt that God existed, was PERSONAL, and that Jesus was God, I would become very frightened as I lay awake in bed at night thinking about the vastness of the universe, and especially about TIME, and whether or not time and space were infinite, and what exactly that meant.  These questions, absent the One True Faith in its fullness, were terrifying to me.  And now, here I am forty-odd years later, and I find that which so shook me as a child to be now a massive source of consolation and CONFIDENCE.

A Supernova is when a star exhausts all of its fuel, and since there is no longer the massive OUTWARD pressure of the fusion explosions to offset the massive inward, compacting force of the star’s own gravity, the gravity wins, and the star implodes so violently that it causes shock waves that bounce back out and cause the outer layers of the star to explode.  The amount of energy released in a supernova is simply incomprehensible.

The most well-known Supernova is actually what we now see as the Crab Nebula, the first object listed in the Messier Catalogue.  The Crab Nebula came into existence according to human observation here on earth when its star went Supernova on 4 July, ARSH 1054. It was visible for 642 days, until 6 April, ARSH 1056.  For the first 23 days after the explosion, it was so bright that it was visible in the DAYLIGHT.  The nebula of the remnants of the exploded star were identified first in ARSH 1731 using telescopes, and again in ARSH 1758 by Charles Messier, who tabled it as the first object in his now-famous Catalogue of celestial objects.

There have been EIGHT observable supernovae in recorded history in what we now know is our Milky Way galaxy.  It is now estimated that in our Milky Way galaxy, there is approximately one supernova per century. Current estimates for the number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy now stand at 100 to 400 BILLION stars.  And of those, ONE goes supernova per century.

The Milky Way is BIG, huh?  And supernovae are EXCEPTIONALLY rare events, agreed?

Well, consider this: astronomers now estimate there to be one to two TRILLION galaxies in the universe (and that number keeps climbing as space-based telescopes come online).  Let’s use TWO TRILLION as our number of galaxies, and assume that our Milky Way is an “average sized” galaxy.

So that means that there are TWO TRILLION supernovae per century.
Divide by 100 and you get TWENTY BILLION supernovae per year.
Divide 20,000,000,000 by 365 and you get 54,794,520 supernovae PER DAY.
Divide 54,794,520 by 24 hours and you get 2,283,105 supernovae per hour.
Divide 2,283,105 by 60 minutes and you get 38,051 supernovae per minute.
Divide 38,051 by 60 seconds and you get…

634 supernovae PER SECOND, EVERY SECOND, in the observable universe.

 Take a normal breath. Inhale-exhale. Roughly 1250 stars went supernova as you took that breath.

Folks, the physical universe is BIG. And you know what? God made it EXCLUSIVELY for us. And it can even be said, EXCLUSIVELY for YOU. That’s right. Because God is infinite, it is possible for Him to love each individual as a separate subject, which contains in it the entire universe. He made the entire physical universe for ME exclusively, and for YOU exclusively. Because each of us subsist in a discrete “ocean” of His Love, each of us, and every human being that has ever or will ever exist, are the exclusive cause of the physical universe. (When you start doing business with the infinite, things get weird, hence my use of the adjective “exclusive” which would be a contradiction of terms outside of the domain of the infinite.)

I even have a proof text of this for you, and it will stop you in your tracks. Our Lord told St. Teresa of Avila, doctor of the Church, the following:

“I would create the universe again, just to hear you say that you love Me.”

So if you’re feeling worried or anxious, just take a breath and say to yourself, “1250 supernovae just happened. And He made it, sustains it, and would make it all again, just to hear me say to Him, “I love You.'”

In those two trillion galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, He holds EVERY electron in its valence shell orbit, and holds every atomic nucleus together, and holds every quark that makes up every proton and neutron in place. Consciously.

And while He’s doing that, He is in rapturous attention of your every thought and feeling, always respecting your free will as a sovereign being, and coming down on the altar at every Mass to be close to you in the Eucharist, and waiting for you in the confessional to forgive your sins, if you will just only say that you are sorry and mean it. And then, while sustaining the physical universe, clicking off over a thousand supernovae for every breath you take, He also reposes in the Tabernacle of every Catholic church in a ciborium, under the appearance of bread wafer, hoping like a lovestruck youth that you will walk in the door and… acknowledge His existence. Maybe even tell Him that you love Him. Or that you will stay and hear Mass and be present at the foot of the Cross in ARSH 30 as He dies in The Eternal Sacrifice for love of you, so that you might be with Him forever – IF you so choose, freely.

Inhale. Exhale. 1250 supernovae.

And you worry? You worry about a bunch of imbecilic perverted criminals? You tell yourself that “God has been beat. His Church has been destroyed.” REALLY? Do you REALLY believe that? You REALLLY believe that Antipope Jorge Bergoglio and now Antipope “FtR” PERVost and the Roman Antichurch Queeria “beat God”? Or ever could?? That’s a laugh line if ever there was one, folks.

Everything that happens is driving toward a greater good. This Antipope/Antichurch situation WILL resolve. And you should pray and work toward being a part of that resolution, because God put you here in this time and place for exactly that.

The accelerated advances in astrophysics and cosmology have matched EXACTLY the temporary reign of Satan as revealed to Pope Leo XIII in ARSH 1884. Why? Maybe so you could read this post and know that God’s love for you is greater than the entire universe, and so you could be reassured and edified at any moment, in any place, including a prison cell or concentration camp, simply by taking one breath.

Inhale. Exhale. 1250 stars just went supernova. And He made it and sustains it all for me, and would make it all again just to hear me say that I love Him.

Hang in there, folks.

As always, I hope this helps.

Sacred Cardiology – on the Feast of the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

As research on Diabolical Narcissism revealed, the demonic, murderous hatred that narcissists have for other people revolves around human beings who, unlike them, are capable of and have a massive capacity to love, and who experience all of those emotions which derive from love, including sadness and mourning, most especially the capacity to empathize and mourn for others. Diabolical Narcissists, by a free choice and movement of their will, have purged themselves of love, are thus incapable of empathy, and thus only experience the demonic emotional palate of anger, hatred, jealousy and fear. They invariably accuse people who experience normal emotions of being “needy”, “insecure”, self-absorbed”, “manipulative” and “emotional blackmailers”, and, ultimately, of being “crazy”. This is a species of gaslighting, a hallmark tactic of pathological narcissists.

We know from the example of Our Immaculate Mother, conceived without Original Sin, who suffered more than any non-divine human being, and the words of Christ Himself that those who mourn are blessed, and will be comforted, that the Narcissists’ contempt for those who love and are normally, humanly affective is, in fact, diabolical.

Now we just said that the Blessed Mother suffered more than any mortal person before, or since, or yet to come. And science, specifically cardiology, has just recently identified that people can and do die of a “broken heart”, meaning from intense sadness and suffering. It is called “Broken Heart Syndrome”, or Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. It is a completely different physiological event from a myocardial infarction, or heart attack, even though the symptoms and outcome (heart failure) are exactly alike. It centers on abnormal movement of the interior heart wall of the left ventricular apex. Remember that. It is going to be important in a minute.

So, if Mary Immaculate did indeed suffer more than any mortal person ever, WHY DIDN’T SHE DIE OF A BROKEN HEART, WHICH IS A VERY REAL THING?

Well, as was initially covered in the Science of the Immaculate Conception and Assumption essay, cells pass from every unborn child to the mother, and then persist in the mother’s body for the rest of her life. Now, we all thought that factoid was pretty spectacular by itself, right? Oh, just wait until you hear THIS:

Some of the cells passed from unborn children to their mothers are STEM CELLS. These stem cells persist in the mother’s body for the rest of her life, and when a trauma happens to the mother, the stem cells from the baby spring into action, migrate to the area where help and healing are needed, where they then undergo cellular maturation and integrate themselves into the mother’s tissue. Guess what the most common locus for these healing events is?

Her heart.

The Blessed Virgin didn’t die of grief because she carried in her body stem cells from Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which grafted themselves into her Immaculate Heart and kept her from dying of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. His stem cells kept her from dying of a broken heart – until she had completed the course of her earthly life and it was time for her to be assumed body and soul into heaven and crowned its Queen by her Son.

Three concluding points:

1. Women who have murdered by abortion their unborn children have been healed later in life by stem cells donated by the very children they murdered.

2. The locus of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the heart is the interior wall of the left ventricle at the apex. This is literally “the bottom of your heart”, or the “depths of my heart”.

3. All of the Eucharistic miracles involving the Host manifesting as flesh that have been tested have yielded the same results. The flesh is that of a human male, blood type AB+, and the cells are myocardium – that is, interior heart wall.

Our Blessed Lord comes to us in the Eucharist, and will graft our broken hearts with His own flesh, just as He did with His Mother. But we have to love Him, which means follow His Law and confess our sins, and have hearts that are capable of breaking, and which we allow to be potentially broken in the first place by loving others.

…Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
…Qui sanat contritos corde, et alligat contritiones eorum.
PSALM 146

Blessed Feast of the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Lady of Sorrows, Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.

Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary, which Pope Innocent XI made obligatory throughout the entire Western Church in ARSH 1684 as an act of Thanksgiving for the deliverance of Christian Europe from the musloid hordes at the Battle of Vienna the year before in ARSH 1683.  King John III Sobieski placed his army under the protection of the Mother of God, the Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, and she delivered the victory.  

In Vienna, a new pastry was invented to celebrate the great day.  This new pastry was made in the shape of the vanquished musloid half-moon crescent.  We now call this pastry by its French name: croissant.  Heh.  The Viennese, in a further delicious dig, also served their scrumtrulescent new pastry with the exotic new beverage: coffee – which came from the vanquished Turks.  Double heh.

Croissant and coffee:  truly the breakfast of champions.

Mary, Help of Christians, slayer of the Pachamama demon, pray for us.

There are two separate questions: Who did it, and perhaps more overarchingly, WHO LET and/or IS LETTING IT HAPPEN?

Chabad/Mossad/CIA/Freemasonry/Antichurch – all just names for operational wings of global Satanism. Islam doesn’t have a seat at that table – they’re the primary retard mercenary force, not operational leadership.

A Green Flag attack is a type of False Flag, in which enemy forces are clandestinely facilitated in an attack on a group by the group itself, and then the group knowingly allows the attack to happen, seeking to capitalize upon the fallout, namely consolidation of power and the financial gain to the ruling class.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a Green Flag. Pearl Harbor was a Green Flag. The hijacking of the Second Vatican Council was a Green Flag. 9/11 was a Green Flag. The Obama cabal usurpation was a Green Flag. The Bergoglian usurpation of the Papacy and ongoing occupation of the Vatican was a Green Flag. The CovidScam was a Green Flag. The October 7, ARSH 2023 Gaza attack was a Green Flag. The ongoing “migrant” invasions of North America and Europe are Green Flag attacks.

In each case, the Chabad-Mossad/CIA/Freemason/Antichurch Luciferians in various iterations baited and enabled mercenaries to attack, and then permitted the attack with fully conscious malice aforethought to unfold to their evil advantage.

Green Flags give the luciferians plausible deniability and the ability to remain disguised under the mantle of “victimhood” and belonging to the very groups they are seeking to destroy.

I keep physical mementoes of the worst events of my life and, as needed, look at them.  Modern “psychology” would claim that this is some sort of sadistic ritual, but modern “psychology” is pretty much satanic – so, make sure you factor that into the calculus.  No, I look at reminders of horror, tragedy and human evil just to make sure that it still elicits pain, because the day that it doesn’t, I will know that I am either becoming or already have become a monster too.

This is why it is important on the 11th of September to look at videos like these, and make sure that the pain and anger remains evergreen.  It wasn’t a movie.  It was real, and those are real people jumping, because in the span of a few minutes on a beautiful late-summer morning, they were forced to make the decision as to whether it was better to fall a quarter of a mile to their death or to burn alive.  Around 200 chose to jump.

Something like this, and far worse, will happen again.  The (((((luciferians))))) have had nothing but success with their Green Flag attack strategy, with zero negative consequences to themselves. They will not only continue, but they will increase the intensity. Nuclear weapons. Smallpox. Dam breaks. EMP attacks. The possible list is long, and growing. You might be caught up in it. If you aren’t in The Church, get in.  If you are in, stay confessed. St. Benedict said, “Keep death daily before your eyes.” Mentally prepare to die, and to possibly die in horrible, sudden circumstances, and pray the Fourth Glorious Mystery of the Rosary every day, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the fruit of which is a happy, holy death, which CAN be had in even the worst circumstances IF one is prepared.

I’ve been listening to that Kevin Cosgrove call (linked on AB’s site) every September 11th for at least 20 years. At this point, it’s just something I need to do. Whatever doubts I may express about what happened that day, there’s no doubt about what we’re hearing on the other end of that telephone. None. It’s the most gut-wrenching piece of audio in existence.

What would make this perfect is if Pastor Kaden had said, “Yeah, we Eucharist too, where Jesus becomes bread.”

But then, even Pastor Kaden wouldn’t be ignorant enough to say something THAT mouth-breathingly stupid. Or evil.

Leo XIV tells Perpetual Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament that their life is "completely dedicated to the continuous and silent adoration of a God who has become bread…" – https://t.co/8s3cQMHK7D

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, Giotto, Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, ARSH 1305

This is the explanatory preamble from my missal for today’s feast, the Nativity (birth) of the Blessed Virgin Mary (nine months to the day after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, naturally).  I thought it quite beautiful and timely, for those of us feeling the weight of the darkness of these days:

At the time of Mary’s birth the whole world was plunged in darkness.  The heathen nations were steeped in vice and pride.  The Jews, beloved of God, had strayed from Him.  Everywhere there was sin and gloom, no bright spot on the face of the earth.  But when Mary was born a light arose amidst the darkness:  the dawn of the glorious day that was to usher in the Redeemer.

Remember, The Blessed Virgin was born with the egg that would be fertilized by the Holy Ghost and thus incarnate Our Lord already in her ovary, fully-formed with half of Our Lord’s DNA, just waiting.  

Who knows what foundations and groundworks He has laid on the earth and in our lives, already extant or partially so, just waiting to be completed and realized in the fullness of time according to His will?

Welp, she’s not a feminist anymore.

Go Clean Up the Kitchen, You Stupid, Stupid Woman (reprint on the Feast of St. Martha because this one is not merely evergreen, but gets better every year…)

Women, unchecked and uncontrolled, ruin everything they take over. You MUST keep the womenfolk under control.

The one about WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE

Apparently today is “International Women’s Day” or some such nonsense, which means that I’m morally obliged to repost my essay on the terminal societal cancer that is women’s suffrage.

Crosspost by permission: The Thinking Housewife on Ten Myths About Women’s Suffrage.

“…the ugly ones included.”

Mailbag: A Wife Repents – “the most potent, troubling parts of my marriage/child rearing, have been due to my usurpation of my husband’s rightful authority.”

Li’l Joey Tailor (Giuseppe Sarto – “sarto” means tailor in Italian, harkening to the English word “sartorial”) grew up to be Pope St. Pius X. Today is his feast day.

The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of the Church is the timidity, or rather the cowardice of the faithful.

…the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer. […] Indeed, the true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists.

It is an error to believe that Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and to all men, but rather that He inaugurated a religious movement adapted, or to be adapted, to different times and different places.

If there were one million families praying the Rosary every day, the entire world would be saved.

If the Angels could envy, they would envy us for Holy Communion.

The daily adoration or visit to the Blessed Sacrament is the practice which is the fountainhead of all devotional works.

The Church alone, being the Bride of Christ and having all things in common with her Divine Spouse, is the depository of the truth.

I accept with sincere belief the doctrine of faith as handed down to us from the Apostles by the orthodox Fathers, always in the same sense and with the same interpretation.

The proposition that the principal articles of the Apostles’ Creed did not have the same meaning for the Christians of the earliest times as they have for Christians of our time is hereby condemned and proscribed as erroneous.

It is impossible to approve in Catholic publications of a style inspired by unsound novelty which seems to deride the piety of the faithful and dwells on the introduction of a new order [novus ordo] of Christian life, on new directions of the Church, on new aspirations of the modern soul, on a new vocation of the clergy, on a new Christian civilisation.

Pope St. Pius X, pray for us, for the Holy Catholic Church, usurped by an Antipope and in terrifyingly visible eclipse, and for the Petrine See which you so gloriously occupied, vacant these 1342 days.
