ASSOCIATION of the PRECIOUS BLOOD POST OFFICE BOX 15851 TALLAHASSEE, FL 32317-5851 USA THIS ISN’T JUNK MAIL! We’ve missed you all so much! So much has happened in the past four years since our last newsletter went out! We have a new Pope and a new Bishop; I was crushed in a serious car accident, but later, was unexplainably healed of all my injuries! Even while I was out of the office recovering, the devotion continued to spread into now 55 countries; we’ve moved to a beautiful new larger location (but the same PO Box!); we now have 7 priests working with us; we have been doing 30day mission trips around the USA teaching this powerful devotion in churches, homes and even pool houses, consecrating a multitude of souls to the Precious Blood of Jesus and producing an army of prayer warriors (continued on page 4) OPEN AND SEE ALL THE BLESSINGS! Father Yozefu-Balikuddembe Ssemakula, or Fr. Joseph, is the author of “The Healing of Families.” He was ordained to the holy priesthood in 1993 in Kampala, Uganda. After a few years of service in his home country, he was part of a grand First Evangelization effort in Darfur, Sudan, for 10 years. He is serving in the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, Florida, and is currently a graduate student of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. He has been involved in the ministry of prayer for the healing of (cont. on page 2) WE WELCOME A NEW POPE… OUR 1ST NEWSLETTER IN 4 YEARS! WE’VE MISSED YOU! ~PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST~ ~SAVE US AND THE WHOLE WORLD~ The first Pope of the Americas and the first Jesuit Pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, hails from Argentina. The 76-yearold Archbishop of Buenos Aires, born there on 17 December 1936, is the son of Italian immigrants. His father Mario was an accountant employed by the (continued on page 4) 2012A YEAR OF FAITH 2013 Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, declared a Year of Faith beginning on October 11, 2012 and ending on The Feast of Christ the King, November 24, 2013. According to a decree made public October 5, 2012, Benedict XVI granted a Plenary Indulgence for the occasion of the Year of Faith. The indulgence will be valid from the opening of the Year until its end. The actual text of the decree, in case you missed it, is as follows: "The day of the fiftieth anniversary of the solemn opening of Vatican Council II, the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI has decreed the beginning of a Year especially dedicated to the profession of the true faith and its correct interpretation (continued on page 4) KNOW YOUR ENEMY Many of you have experienced what some refer to as the “full wrath of hell” being unleashed against you since you picked up this devotion. Many priests we have spoken to have confirmed that this is normal. Satan fights the things that deal a death blow to him and his earthly “kingdom” much harder than he would fight a thing that only scratches the surface. This is rational. He is a creature, created by God and limited in his scope of power and influence by the very fact that he is a created being. He is not God’s equal. Not even close. Who was Lucifer before he fell (continued page 13) …AND A NEW BISHOP! Most Rev. Gregory L. Parkes was ordained and installed as the Fifth Bishop of PensacolaTallahassee on June 5, 2012, having been appointed to the position by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, on March 20, 2012. Bishop Parkes 48, was born in Mineola (continued on page 5) THE HEALING OF FAMILIES SEMINAR ARCHDIOCESE OF MIAMI CONDEMNS QUEENSHIP BOOK (continued from page 1) families for several years in the US. He has recorded wonderful results for both families and clergy who’ve attended the healing seminars. Come and join us! To order your book by phone, mail or on the web, see our contact info in the letterhead of this newsletter. All times are Eastern. Mark your calendars! As many of you already know, I am the author of the book put out by Queenship Publishing. I edited material, researched and brought in more material, decided on layouts, fonts, colors, artwork, and order of assembly. I worked on it for 7 months for sometimes 15-20 hours a day. I was assisted by the Secretary General of the Nigerian Apostolate and the visionary, Barnabas Nwoye. I have in my possession all the proper paperwork allowing me to use all the prayers of this devotion for the creation of that book. They even provided message books to me. I sent the finished manuscript to TAN Books, 3 Leaf Printing and Queenship Publishing to get quotes on having the finished book printed. The first two sent letters with quotes and other helpful tips, but Queenship Publishing made numerous changes to the text then printed my book and put it out on the market without so much as a verbal agreement.

The teleconference line is (530)881-1300 The access code is 554675# knowing that he hath but a short time.” (Rev. 12:12). After this he was known as the devil or satan; the accuser, the adversary. He now has one purpose to fulfill in the short time he has left, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10), and “He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.” (John 8:44). You, your loved ones, and all of humanity are now the targets of his bitter rage. He has found four access points into our lives and he never misses an opportunity to ruin our day….or our lives. Join us for our healing seminars in June and again in August, and find out how to lock him out for good and dump the baggage he brought with him. Heal your families of cancer, suicide, diabetes, despair, depression, fibromyalgia, heart trouble, addictions, untimely deaths, mental illnesses, sexual sins, hemorrhoids, sterility rage, accidents, varicose veins and more! Fr. Joseph has documented the healings. This is truly quite amazing! Then, after you and your family are healed, go on the offensive to regain the souls of your straying loved ones and all unrepentant sinners and bring them safely home to Heaven with joy. The Precious Blood devotion is so tremendously powerful, that once your family is healed, you will see marvels. Your prayer will be mighty in drawing down from heaven a shower of good on everyone you pray for. You will begin to change the course of human events for the better once you are released from the shackles of the evil one. And what a difference! We are offering this seminar free of charge, you have nothing to lose. All you need is a phone and a copy of Fr. Joseph’s book. Heal now from the baggage satan has dumped into your life, then once refreshed, we will teach you how to go out with the Precious Blood of Jesus and change the world for the better! BISHOP APPOINTS A CHAPLAIN for the ASSOCIATION of the PRECIOUS BLOOD! On May 14th, His Excellency Callistus V. Onaga, Bishop of the Diocese of Enugu, in Nigeria, appointed Rev. Msgr. Ferdinand Okpalaibekwe as Chaplain of the Association of the Precious Blood of Jesus. This is yet another step forward in the approval process of this devotion. Bishop Onaga, we have been told, approved this devotion by issuing an official statement in November 2012. We are still trying to bring you a copy of that document to share with you so you can share it with your priests and bishops. Thank the Good Lord for opening the hearts and doors that were necessary so that this devotion may soon be practiced by the whole world! We pray for a fruitful working relationship with Msgr. Okpalaibekwe, as we continue to move forward in our ministry. Please remember him in your daily prayers. KNOW YOUR ENEMY (continued from page 13) “Of old time thou hast broken my yoke, thou hast burst my bands, and thou saidst: I will not serve.” (Jeremiah 2:19-20) His heart overflowed with all kinds of evil thoughts, fermenting in him through unchecked pride, until finally, he acted on them. He tempted Eve under the tree of Good & Evil with a conversation that was partly truth, twisted around wicked lies; and she unfortunately succumbed. She repeated this conversation to Adam thus destroy- The first act of gossip, slander & lies on earth, do you see the fruits? ing the peaceful perfection of God’s paradise. For this, Lucifer was cursed by God, cast out of the Garden with Adam and Eve, and after a mighty war with St. Michael, he and a third of the angels were thrust out of Heaven and sent to the earth. “Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, 2 15 attended this seminar recently said, “This is so simple. Why did no one think of this before?” I attended one of these conferences recently. Quite frankly, I was dragged there because it did not interest me. I had already done some “family healing” things in the past and I felt I was good. I didn’t really need another one. Things were hectic at work, I didn’t have the time to spare, yada, yada, yada. Boy, was I wrong! Even if you’ve done some kind of healing program before, this one is comprehensive in that it closes the access points into your life from all four categories that satan can possibly enter, all at the same time. No other healing program closes all the doors at one time that I know of. Only one member of a family needs to participate on behalf of their whole family. My greatest surprise was to learn that many of those doors through which satan enters to mess up your life are actually opened by friends and family members for you! That is why no matter how hard you tried, worked or prayed, you just weren’t getting anywhere. If that sounds like your life, you could use this free seminar! It’s definitely worth your time, and it won’t cost you a dime, just the price of the book! Join us for our teleconference seminar (That’s right, by phone from the comfort of your own home!) and learn how to close these doors and free yourself and your family once and for all. See “Healing of Families Seminar” on page 1 for details. A HEALING THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE What if it was possible to close all the doors through which satan and his minions have access to your life and the lives of your loved ones and make him take his infernal baggage with him? What if you could then fill that void left by his departure with the fullness of the Holy Spirit? Then what if you could seal all those access doors to your life with the Precious Blood of Jesus to keep him out for good? What if the only burdens you had to carry from then on were the sweet, light burdens Jesus spoke of in scripture? “For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.” (Matt 11:30). Wouldn’t that be wonderful!? Well, it is possible, it is happening to the faithful all over the world who are flocking to Fr. Joseph Ssemakula’s “Healing of Families” seminars! Let me tell you, it is not like anything you have participated in before. All of Fr. Joseph’s presentations are liberally footnoted with Scripture. Bring your bibles and follow along. It can be emotionally and mentally demanding for the length of the seminar because you are an active participant, not a silent by-stander. While participants are part of a large group, the seminar is at the same time done privately, no one shares any of their family secrets or bondages, you just write them down, break them, then burn them! Father does not promise that life can be lived totally free from suffering, but when the bitter, despairing, heart-wrenching sufferings satan brings to your life are lifted, (mental, emotional & physical) you have the sweet and light burden of the development of personal virtue and the work of your God-given mission in life. “Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labors to him?” (Job 39:11). By surrendering your life to the working of the Holy Spirit and closing the doors to satan and his minions, life actually runs much smoother, much more peaceful and much easier! You can then offer voluntary sacrifices, mortifications & fastings for the greater Glory of God, the healing and conversion of loved ones, or whatever you desire, much as our early Church Fathers and the Saints did. Your prayers will have a fresh new power since you will have removed all the blockages from the evil one that exhaust you mentally and emotionally and may, at times, drive you to the brink of despair. Your separated family members will have an easier time returning to the Lord once the playing field has been “leveled” and they are no longer living on the “slippery slope.” This is real folks! One Bishop who REPARATION & THE MONTH OF JULY (continued from page 6) throughout the world. The Great Month of July starts out with the Feast of the Precious Blood of Jesus on the 1st. (This Feast was moved and combined with the Feast of Corpus Christi in the Novus Ordo Rite.) Then we have an entire month of reparation prayer offered to Our Heavenly Father during the month dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus: July 1-9th, A Novena in Honor of the Nine Choirs of Angels; July 13-15th, Prayer in Honor of the Most Holy Trinity; July 20-31st, Prayer for the New Israel. Our Lord uses this powerful month of reparation, sacrifice and prayer to turn back the tide of evil enveloping the world. We usually experience a virtual explosion of grace, many wonderful things have happened in this apostolate following the month of July prayers. Also, Our Lord revealed great promises for anyone who completes all the days of reparation during the month. They will be listed in next month’s newsletter. So get prepared, outline your strategy, set up your daily schedule and make this July truly great! Pray it well! 14 BISHOP PARKES SAYS “RISE & FLOURISH AMONG the FAITHFUL” FREE WILL, HEAVEN & HOW TO GET THERE SAFELY On the 50th anniversary of Vatican II and the Opening Day of the Year of Faith, I had the honor of meeting with our new Bishop for the first time, His Excellency Gregory L. Parkes. We spoke of the evangelization the Association has done, with your help, in 55 countries and growing, and yet, we discussed, we have not done anything in our home diocese. On November 30th, I received a letter from His Excellency saying in part, “The Church encourages lay people, like you, to dedicate themselves to the Gospel message through prayer and other spiritual devotions. Our Diocese is blessed with other lay Catholics, as well, who are trying to offer encouragement and hope to everyone they meet along the road of life. The important thing to remember about the Churches’ encouragement is that movements like that to the Precious Blood must first rise and flourish among the faithful. This means that one person at a time, you and your community can positively influence the lives of others to see the virtues of this special devotion to the Precious Blood of Our Lord.” Our good Bishop is asking us to evangelize and share the fruits of this great devotion. We have already done this in 55 countries of the world, so now he asks us to bring this (continued on page 5) Imagine the world as a giant chess match between “good” and “evil.” Here you would see Satan playing against the likes of St Michael or Our Lady, all the while God follows the game with keen interest. Imagine the difficulty of the game if the “good” pieces refused to be moved as requested. Imagine if a pawn wanted to be the queen, a knight wanted to move like a rook, the rook didn’t want to go to the particular space it was moved to and the bishop just flatly refused to move at all! What would be the outcome of this chaotic game? How could good possibly triumph? Look at human life in the time we are living in. Because we have free will, we can move and do and say and think whatever we want no matter how void of truth, love, virtue or fact it may be. Yes, even many Catholics have this problem. We are rebellious chess pieces refusing to allow the Master to move us in a manner that would best win this game for souls. We believe WE know best, or that we would just like to do what pleases us in that particular moment, or we’ll think about God’s idea and even say we’ll “pray about it,” but not really pray at all because our minds are already made up. Yet God has a plan. He WANTS the salvation of every single soul that He (continued on page 6) REPARATION & THE GREAT MONTH of JULY OF SCHISMATICS & VISIONARIES Reparation is a theological concept and one of the deepest mysteries of our Catholic Faith. God, in His Almighty Providence, did not choose to wipe away all trace of our sins completely with the redeeming act of His Son; rather, He judged it better to demand satisfaction for the injuries which man had done to Him. It is better for man's education and spiritual growth that wrong-doing on his part should require an act of reparation. This act brings about humility, compunction, a firm desire not to offend God or his neighbor again, patient understanding when dealing with the faults of others, long-suffering, peace and a host of other good, holy, solid virtues. In our acts of reparation to God for our sins and the sins of others, we join our sacrifices, fastings, mortifications, sufferings and prayer to those of Our Lord and say with St Paul, (continued on page 6) By mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.com & Patricia Fason & “MARIA DIVINE MERCY” “And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”(Matt 16:18) When trials came to the Church in the past, the saints never advocated fleeing the Church, nor open rebellion against her authorities. Jesus would never advocate a war between his faithful and his own Church! Whenever the Church suffered her dark days, Our Lord always raised up a great saint or two to right the wrongs and guide us through them. If you feel we are in those times, pray for that great saint or saints to come forward and right whatever wrongs you see. Pray and sacrifice! Your prayer is meritorious and worth a great deal and the prayers to the Precious Blood of Jesus are the most powerful on earth outside of the Mass. (cont. on page 7) 3 the recitation of the Our Father, the Profession of Faith in any legitimate form, and invocations to the Blessed Virgin Mary and, depending on the circumstances, to the Holy Apostles and patron saints. (C) Each time that, on the days designated by the local ordinary for the Year of Faith, ... in any sacred place, they participate in a solemn celebration of the Eucharist or the Liturgy of the Hours, adding thereto the Profession of Faith in any legitimate form. (D) On any day they chose, during the Year of Faith, if they make a pious visit to the baptistery, or other place in which they received the Sacrament of Baptism, and there renew their baptismal promises in any legitimate form." The traditional norms for receiving an indulgence are listed in our “Quick Guide to Indulgences” which you can cut out and save, on page 13 of this newsletter. WELCOME BACK (continued from page 1) in this country! Miracles have accompanied this mighty devotion everywhere it goes and we will begin to share them with you. If you want us to stop at your church, home or even a park when we are coming through on a speaking tour, please call us at (850) 577-0607 and put your name on the “Mission Stop” list! There’s SO much more to tell, so grab a cup of tea and get comfy because this news will bring joy to your heart! We’re so happy to be able to connect with you again! “Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.” (Psalms 96:11) A YEAR OF FAITH (continued from page 1) through the reading of, or better still the pious meditation upon, the Acts of the Council and the articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.” "Since the primary objective is to develop sanctity of life to the highest degree possible on this earth, and thus to attain the most sublime level of pureness of soul, immense benefit may be derived from the great gift of Indulgences which, by virtue of the power conferred upon her by Christ, the Church offers to everyone who, following the due norms, undertakes the special prescripts to obtain them.” "During the Year of Faith, Plenary Indulgence for the temporal punishment of sins, imparted by the mercy of God and applicable also to the souls of deceased faithful, may be obtained by all faithful who, truly penitent, take Sacramental Confession and the Eucharist and pray in accordance with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. [in addition to one of the following]: (A) Each time they attend at least three sermons during the Holy Missions, or at least three lessons on the Acts of the Council or the articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in church or any other suitable location. (B) Each time they visit, in the course of a pilgrimage, a papal basilica, a Christian catacomb, a cathedral church or a holy site designated by the local ordinary for the Year of Faith (for example, minor basilicas and shrines dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Apostles or patron saints), and there participate in a sacred celebration, or at least remain for a congruous period of time in prayer and pious meditation, concluding with WE WELCOME A NEW POPE (cont. from pg. 1) railroad and his mother Regina Sivori was a committed wife dedicated to raising their five children. Although a prominent figure throughout the South American continent, he remains a simple pastor who is deeply loved by his diocese, throughout which he has travelled extensively by subway and by bus during the 15 years of his episcopal ministry. “My people are poor and I am one of them”, he has said more than once, explaining his decision to live in a small apartment and cook his own supper. He has always advised his priests to show mercy and apostolic courage and to keep their doors open to everyone. The worst thing that could happen to the Church, he has said on various occasions, “is what de Lubac called spiritual worldliness,” which means, “being self-centered.” When he speaks of social justice, he calls people first of all to pick up the Catechism, to rediscover the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. His project is simple: if you follow Christ, you understand that “trampling upon a person’s dignity is a serious sin.”… one sin that many of us are guilty of and all must be careful to avoid! He was elected Supreme Pontiff on March 13, 2013, taking the name of St. Francis Assisi, whose name, Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, means John of Peter the Roman. 4 BISHOP PARKES’ ORDINATION ANNIVERSARY: JUNE 26 A QUICK GUIDE TO INDULGENCES A woman once told me, in reference to the effort she was going to have to exert in gaining a special indulgence from the Church, “God KNOWS that I want it and He’s not going to be caught up in the details. He will give it to me because He KNOWS I WANT IT.” The mere fact that the Church proclaims an indulgence does not imply that it can be gained without any effort on the part of the faithful at all! The more valuable things in this life require a greater effort to obtain. Don’t fall into spiritual indolence (sloth) as the woman above. Rules for Plenary Indulgences; 1. Sacramental Confession, 20 days before or after the prescribed work. 2. *Prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions. 3..*Communion; it is not necessary to attend a Mass, only reception of the Sacrament is required. 4. *The prescribed work. 5. *You must be free from the guilt of mortal sin. 6..*You must have the intention of gaining the indulgence. 7. *You must have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin. (*these items should all be offered or met the same day the indulgence is desired.) Rules for Partial Indulgences; 1. Confession is not obligatory, but you must make your offering at least with a contrite heart. 2. All the rest of the above, marked with an* Indulgences can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other living persons. Only one plenary indulgence can be obtained each day, but unlimited partial indulgences can be obtained daily under the above requirements. One exception is the five-fold scapular with which you can receive 433 plenary indulgences for the deceased each day. See our special offer on page 11. th Please join us on June 26 in honoring and praying for our new Bishop, Gregory L. Parkes. This day will be his 14th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood! Offer your Mass, prayers, Rosaries, Communions, Adoration, whatever you can, and send an email letting us know what you did to PreciousBloodAmerica@yahoo.com or call us at (850) 577-0607. You can also use our teleconference room to join in the Precious Blood prayers with others around the country and the world for the needs and intentions of our good Bishop all day long! We will send him your spiritual bouquet of all that you offered for him on July 1st, the Feast of the Precious Blood, so get your submissions to us quickly! KNOW YOUR ENEMY (continued from page 1) from grace? Let’s look at Ezekiel 28: “Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was thy covering:… gold the work of thy beauty:…were prepared in the day that thou wast created…” Lucifer, which means “shining one” or “morning star,” was created perfect in all his ways, a masterpiece of God’s creation who was ranked among the choir of Cherubim. God had allotted Lucifer a certain amount of power and authority for a special mission above all other angels. “Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire…” Lucifer’s mission from God was to cover and protect. All of heaven and earth were open to him and his authority amongst the angels was second to God alone. But what was he entrusted to protect? Was his mission to protect the earth, which he instead corrupted? Or was he appointed to be the guardian and protector of all of humanity, God’s beloved creatures, whom he is now trying to destroy? Ezekiel continues “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the Mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire.” Lucifer allowed a vapor of pride to enter his heart. It fermented and grew causing all other sins to grow with it: rebellion, deception, destruction, rage and hard-heartedness. In his absolute perfection, unparalleled beauty and supreme intelligence, he could not bear to have to stoop so low as to be the servant of humankind.

On page “ii” of the Queenship book, they claim the copyright is theirs. As you can plainly see that is absolutely not true. The work they printed, however, is not exactly what I wrote. The owner of Queenship, made numerous edits and changes to my work, about 176 of them, filling her version of my book with errors (some theological) that did not originate with this devotion in any way! Note that the date of creation is listed as 2004 on my copyright certificate, this is very important. Queenship’s Imprimatur was cut and pasted from another source. It was not given by that Bishop to that book. You can clearly see this since the Imprimatur is dated June 17, 2001, and my book was not written until 2004 (see above). How did the Bishop grant an Imprimatur three years before I finished writing it? The Bishop has to actually READ the work to give it an Imprimatur! Bishop Ayo-Maria, who is listed as giving the Imprimatur to the Queenship book, is not the Bishop of Enugu where the apparitions are taking place. This fake Imprimatur is the second lie, and there are more… For years we have tried to find someone to help us expose these public deceptions, but the Queenship money machine, and her associates have made our lives very difficult to say the least. They have profited greatly, on the sale of our book, and we receive nothing at all. They have run a slander campaign designed to destroy us literally all over the world. Our only help was God alone, until the Archdiocese broke the story. We know many of you have received wildly scandalous statements from Queenship Publishing and a woman named Aurora Protomartir from Houston, Texas, under the name “Precious Blood Apostolate USA.” If you have received anything in print from either of these groups, please forward a copy to us. If they have slandered us on the phone to you, write down what they said and send it to us. It is time to demand an accounting of their actions. The deception pulled off by these two organizations has prevented us from sending hundreds of thousands of free books into the missions of the world! Think of the souls that could have been saved! We ask you all now for help & prayer. If you purchase a book from Queenship Publishing, not only are you getting a condemned and twisted text of the original, you are supporting piracy against small apostolates who cannot defend themselves from these giant money machines. Every $3.00 given to them, is one less book we can send into the missions. Spread the facts. This devotion itself is good and so is all our work; the copious good fruits testify to that. But the deception these two groups are spreading and the attacks on us and our good name are pure evil. Pray for peace and justice. …AND A NEW BISHOP!

This is always the more difficult mission, “And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.” (Matt 13:57). Bishop Parkes went on to say, “Be assured of my prayers and I ask you to keep me in your prayers as well. With every best wish, I am sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Gregory L. Parkes, Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee.” To honor our Bishop’s wishes, we will begin a series of talks introducing devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus to the local faithful in our area. These talks will be available LIVE on teleconference for the rest of you. Please support us, and our good Bishop, with your fasting and prayers as we begin this new evangelization.

He does not WANT to lose a single one, but having given us the great gift and responsibility of free-will, we are allowed to, and actually do make dozens of choices daily without ever thinking of the ramifications of our casually disobedient or horrifically sinful acts. But what if we DID act, move and live according to His Will alone and not our own passing fancies? “Oh well, I just want to squeak inside the backdoor of heaven,” I have heard many say. But if you aim so low, what if you miss completely?! “None of my friends are going to heaven, so why should I even try!” Yet so many sinners are saved daily through the reparation and prayers of a small but powerful army of prayer warriors operating world-wide. What a surprise to find at your judgment that all your friends were saved by the sacrifices and prayers of people they did not even know, but there was just not enough left to save you! What a horror! There will be nothing you will be able to do at that time to rectify the situation! Do not let your salvation be determined by the kind efforts and sacrifices, or lack of them, of strangers. Take matters into your own hands for your family and loved ones. The difference between heaven and an eternity of separation from our Loving Father, Our Dearest Mother Mary, Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, all the angels, saints and our loved ones, ALL that is good, holy, desirable and beautiful in this world and more; is SO great! There is NO decision more profoundly important on the face of this earth than working out your own personal salvation. Yet so few souls have given it more than a brief passing thought as above. What do we do? Simple. We have found, researched about and/or personally tested powerful prayer methods, sacramentals and natural remedies, none of which are condemned by the Catholic Church, and we will report our findings to you through this series of newsletters. We will warn you when the Church cautions against something or someone. In this way, we can all find and follow the safest path for ourselves and our loved ones through this “dark valley” that we are treading. For the serious prayer warrior, we will show you the most powerful manner to bring the greatest number of souls to salvation. In all things, PRAY and TRUST in the Lord. He wants all possible good for you. “Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labors to him?” (Job 39:11) that it is I, “who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church” (Colossians 1:24). There is nothing “wanting” in Christ’s sacrifice at all, rather we should look at that word as “want” meaning “desire.” Jesus forged a path for us to follow and it is His desire that we offer up our sufferings in reparation for our brothers and sisters who are in need in the world, just as He did. The Holy man Job did this also, “And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned.”(Job 1:5). God the Father, has ordained that we are to make voluntary acts of reparation to His justice for all the offences committed against Him throughout the world, such as abortion, murder, euthanasia, sins of the flesh, etc. These acts of reparation, when offered in union with the greatest act of reparation the world has known; the sufferings, crucifixion and death of Our Lord Jesus, and the untold sufferings of his Mother Mary as she stood at the foot of his Cross; these holy acts will repair the relationship between God and man and bring about a great peace in the world. Any holy action offered in union with the Blood of Jesus, has the power to calm the wrath of the Eternal Father and bring healing and peace. Set aside a regular time for reparation and spend some quiet time in prayer or Adoration, asking God to forgive you and your whole family for their faults and failings. Pray the prayer of Daniel, “We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.” (Dan 9:5). You will see a profound difference in your life and the lives of your loved ones if you do! Prayer warriors will find that days of reparation for abortion, for government leaders, for scandals in the Church, for those who are gravely ill, etc., will draw down oceans of grace on the sector of humanity that they target. Life as we know it can be dramatically changed for the better. Try it! And see the difference you can make! In the Catholic Church, the third Friday of every month is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus. It is a day of reparation to make amends to God’s justice for the sins committed against the Eucharist and the Precious Blood of His Son (continued on page 14) 6 ROSARIES: From Jerusalem: Item #600-605 come gift boxed!

This is serious! No one is automatically excommunicated for any offense if, without any fault of his own, he was unaware that he was violating a law (CIC 1323:2) or that a penalty was attached to the law (CIC 1324:1:9). The same applies if one was a minor, had the imperfect use of reason, was forced through grave or relatively grave fear, was forced through serious inconvenience, or in certain other circumstances (CIC 1324). Schism is regarded by the Church as a most serious fault, and is punished with the penalties inflicted on heresy, because heresy usually accompanies it. “Between heresy and schism, there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church. Practically and historically heresy & schism nearly always go hand in hand; schism leads almost invariably to denial of the papal primacy." (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10) ~St. Jerome. Isn’t this what MDM is doing? "By false doctrines concerning God, heretics wound faith, by iniquitous dissensions schismatics deviate from fraternal charity, although they believe what we believe.” (On Faith and the Creed 9). ~St. Augustine. If she tricked you with her slick propaganda, visit the link below to view a website that lists her errors in her own words as well as copies of all the Bishop’s letters warning the faithful to avoid her or destroy her books. Listen to our Bishops, they are our shepherds. Obedience keeps one safe from evil. We are living in troubled times but attacking our Pope, bishops, priests and the church is not the answer ..unceasing prayer is! Keep watch & pray. http://mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.com/p/bishopson-mdm.html “Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.” (Matt 10:16) OF SCHISMATICS & VISIONARIES AND “MARIA DIVINE MERCY(continued from page 3) However, you gain no merits, but incur mortal sin for participating in schism and heresy. This new visionary, “Maria Divine Mercy,” or MDM for short, who is not St. Faustina, hides away in anonymity, somewhere in Ireland, refuses to come forward and meet with her Bishop, advocates open rebellion against the Church and even calls Pope Francis "...the imposter, who sits on the throne in My Church on earth..” (message 3/13/13). She plants the demonic seeds of slander, distrust, rebellion and scandal, then sits back in silence and lets the faithful destroy the Church themselves! I have seen numerous emails being sent out by normally faithful Catholics brutally attacking our Holy Father because MDM has convinced a large number of non-discerning Catholics that he is the false prophet of the book of Revelation! Yes folks, really! Aided by the liberal media who do their part in exploiting every action Our Holy Father makes, these Catholics don’t even question the fact that they are committing a seriously grave sin that will bar them from heaven eternally. They simply believe these vicious lies because this woman, whom no one can identify, tells them to! No real prophet in the Church’s history was ever unknown. They had to come forward to be examined by competent authorities to ascertain if they were really called by God, mentally ill or enemies of the Church. True, many of them suffered, but that was part of their call and their mission. God alone was their comfort and He knows what He’s doing. Trust him. This MDM woman apparently does not. Any Catholic who foments schism by repudiating, maligning, disparaging, questioning or rejecting the authority and person of the reigning Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth, as duly elected by the College of Cardinals under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, is in serious flagrant violation of Canon Law. Anyone who knowingly and maliciously encourages and promotes schism automatically excommunicates himself or herself latæ sententiæ a latin phrase meaning “sentence [already] passed” , it is automatic excommunication upon accomplishment of the deed.

WELCOME BACK (continued from page 1) in this country! Miracles have accompanied this mighty devotion everywhere it goes and we will begin to share them with you. If you want us to stop at your church, home or even a park when we are coming through on a speaking tour, please call us at (850) 577-0607 and put your name on the “Mission Stop” list! There’s SO much more to tell, so grab a cup of tea and get comfy because this news will bring joy to your heart! We’re so happy to be able to connect with you again! “Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.” (Psalms 96:11) A YEAR OF FAITH (continued from page 1) through the reading of, or better still the pious meditation upon, the Acts of the Council and the articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.” "Since the primary objective is to develop sanctity of life to the highest degree possible on this earth, and thus to attain the most sublime level of pureness of soul, immense benefit may be derived from the great gift of Indulgences which, by virtue of the power conferred upon her by Christ, the Church offers to everyone who, following the due norms, undertakes the special prescripts to obtain them.” "During the Year of Faith, Plenary Indulgence for the temporal punishment of sins, imparted by the mercy of God and applicable also to the souls of deceased faithful, may be obtained by all faithful who, truly penitent, take Sacramental Confession and the Eucharist and pray in accordance with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. [in addition to one of the following]: (A) Each time they attend at least three sermons during the Holy Missions, or at least three lessons on the Acts of the Council or the articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in church or any other suitable location. (B) Each time they visit, in the course of a pilgrimage, a papal basilica, a Christian catacomb, a cathedral church or a holy site designated by the local ordinary for the Year of Faith (for example, minor basilicas and shrines dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Apostles or patron saints), and there participate in a sacred celebration, or at least remain for a congruous period of time in prayer and pious meditation, concluding with WE WELCOME A NEW POPE (cont. from pg. 1) railroad and his mother Regina Sivori was a committed wife dedicated to raising their five children. Although a prominent figure throughout the South American continent, he remains a simple pastor who is deeply loved by his diocese, throughout which he has travelled extensively by subway and by bus during the 15 years of his episcopal ministry. “My people are poor and I am one of them”, he has said more than once, explaining his decision to live in a small apartment and cook his own supper. He has always advised his priests to show mercy and apostolic courage and to keep their doors open to everyone. The worst thing that could happen to the Church, he has said on various occasions, “is what de Lubac called spiritual worldliness,” which means, “being self-centered.” When he speaks of social justice, he calls people first of all to pick up the Catechism, to rediscover the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. His project is simple: if you follow Christ, you understand that “trampling upon a person’s dignity is a serious sin.”… one sin that many of us are guilty of and all must be careful to avoid! He was elected Supreme Pontiff on March 13, 2013, taking the name of St. Francis Assisi, whose name, Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, means John of Peter the Roman. 4 BISHOP PARKES’ ORDINATION ANNIVERSARY: JUNE 26 A QUICK GUIDE TO INDULGENCES A woman once told me, in reference to the effort she was going to have to exert in gaining a special indulgence from the Church, “God KNOWS that I want it and He’s not going to be caught up in the details. He will give it to me because He KNOWS I WANT IT.” The mere fact that the Church proclaims an indulgence does not imply that it can be gained without any effort on the part of the faithful at all! The more valuable things in this life require a greater effort to obtain. Don’t fall into spiritual indolence (sloth) as the woman above. Rules for Plenary Indulgences; 1. Sacramental Confession, 20 days before or after the prescribed work. 2. *Prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions. 3..*Communion; it is not necessary to attend a Mass, only reception of the Sacrament is required. 4. *The prescribed work. 5. *You must be free from the guilt of mortal sin. 6..*You must have the intention of gaining the indulgence. 7. *You must have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin. (*these items should all be offered or met the same day the indulgence is desired.) Rules for Partial Indulgences; 1. Confession is not obligatory, but you must make your offering at least with a contrite heart. 2. All the rest of the above, marked with an* Indulgences can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other living persons. Only one plenary indulgence can be obtained each day, but unlimited partial indulgences can be obtained daily under the above requirements. One exception is the five-fold scapular with which you can receive 433 plenary indulgences for the deceased each day. See our special offer on page 11. th Please join us on June 26 in honoring and praying for our new Bishop, Gregory L. Parkes. This day will be his 14th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood! Offer your Mass, prayers, Rosaries, Communions, Adoration, whatever you can, and send an email letting us know what you did to PreciousBloodAmerica@yahoo.com or call us at (850) 577-0607. You can also use our teleconference room to join in the Precious Blood prayers with others around the country and the world for the needs and intentions of our good Bishop all day long! We will send him your spiritual bouquet of all that you offered for him on July 1st, the Feast of the Precious Blood, so get your submissions to us quickly! KNOW YOUR ENEMY (continued from page 1) from grace? Let’s look at Ezekiel 28: “Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was thy covering:… gold the work of thy beauty:…were prepared in the day that thou wast created…” Lucifer, which means “shining one” or “morning star,” was created perfect in all his ways, a masterpiece of God’s creation who was ranked among the choir of Cherubim. God had allotted Lucifer a certain amount of power and authority for a special mission above all other angels. “Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire…” Lucifer’s mission from God was to cover and protect. All of heaven and earth were open to him and his authority amongst the angels was second to God alone. But what was he entrusted to protect? Was his mission to protect the earth, which he instead corrupted? Or was he appointed to be the guardian and protector of all of humanity, God’s beloved creatures, whom he is now trying to destroy? Ezekiel continues “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the Mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire.” Lucifer allowed a vapor of pride to enter his heart. It fermented and grew causing all other sins to grow with it: rebellion, deception, destruction, rage and hard-heartedness. In his absolute perfection, unparalleled beauty and supreme intelligence, he could not bear to have to stoop so low as to be the servant of humankind. (continued on page 15) Barnabas & some priests at a Reparation in Nigeria 13 attended this seminar recently said, “This is so simple. Why did no one think of this before?” I attended one of these conferences recently. Quite frankly, I was dragged there because it did not interest me. I had already done some “family healing” things in the past and I felt I was good. I didn’t really need another one. Things were hectic at work, I didn’t have the time to spare, yada, yada, yada. Boy, was I wrong! Even if you’ve done some kind of healing program before, this one is comprehensive in that it closes the access points into your life from all four categories that satan can possibly enter, all at the same time. No other healing program closes all the doors at one time that I know of. Only one member of a family needs to participate on behalf of their whole family. My greatest surprise was to learn that many of those doors through which satan enters to mess up your life are actually opened by friends and family members for you! That is why no matter how hard you tried, worked or prayed, you just weren’t getting anywhere. If that sounds like your life, you could use this free seminar! It’s definitely worth your time, and it won’t cost you a dime, just the price of the book! Join us for our teleconference seminar (That’s right, by phone from the comfort of your own home!) and learn how to close these doors and free yourself and your family once and for all. See “Healing of Families Seminar” on page 1 for details. A HEALING THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE What if it was possible to close all the doors through which satan and his minions have access to your life and the lives of your loved ones and make him take his infernal baggage with him? What if you could then fill that void left by his departure with the fullness of the Holy Spirit? Then what if you could seal all those access doors to your life with the Precious Blood of Jesus to keep him out for good? What if the only burdens you had to carry from then on were the sweet, light burdens Jesus spoke of in scripture? “For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.” (Matt 11:30). Wouldn’t that be wonderful!? Well, it is possible, it is happening to the faithful all over the world who are flocking to Fr. Joseph Ssemakula’s “Healing of Families” seminars! Let me tell you, it is not like anything you have participated in before. All of Fr. Joseph’s presentations are liberally footnoted with Scripture. Bring your bibles and follow along. It can be emotionally and mentally demanding for the length of the seminar because you are an active participant, not a silent by-stander. While participants are part of a large group, the seminar is at the same time done privately, no one shares any of their family secrets or bondages, you just write them down, break them, then burn them! Father does not promise that life can be lived totally free from suffering, but when the bitter, despairing, heart-wrenching sufferings satan brings to your life are lifted, (mental, emotional & physical) you have the sweet and light burden of the development of personal virtue and the work of your God-given mission in life. “Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labors to him?” (Job 39:11). By surrendering your life to the working of the Holy Spirit and closing the doors to satan and his minions, life actually runs much smoother, much more peaceful and much easier! You can then offer voluntary sacrifices, mortifications & fastings for the greater Glory of God, the healing and conversion of loved ones, or whatever you desire, much as our early Church Fathers and the Saints did. Your prayers will have a fresh new power since you will have removed all the blockages from the evil one that exhaust you mentally and emotionally and may, at times, drive you to the brink of despair. Your separated family members will have an easier time returning to the Lord once the playing field has been “leveled” and they are no longer living on the “slippery slope.” This is real folks! One Bishop who REPARATION & THE MONTH OF JULY (continued from page 6) throughout the world. The Great Month of July starts out with the Feast of the Precious Blood of Jesus on the 1st. (This Feast was moved and combined with the Feast of Corpus Christi in the Novus Ordo Rite.) Then we have an entire month of reparation prayer offered to Our Heavenly Father during the month dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus: July 1-9th, A Novena in Honor of the Nine Choirs of Angels; July 13-15th, Prayer in Honor of the Most Holy Trinity; July 20-31st, Prayer for the New Israel. Our Lord uses this powerful month of reparation, sacrifice and prayer to turn back the tide of evil enveloping the world. We usually experience a virtual explosion of grace, many wonderful things have happened in this apostolate following the month of July prayers. Also, Our Lord revealed great promises for anyone who completes all the days of reparation during the month. They will be listed in next month’s newsletter. So get prepared, outline your strategy, set up your daily schedule and make this July truly great! Pray it well! 14 BISHOP PARKES SAYS “RISE & FLOURISH AMONG the FAITHFUL” FREE WILL, HEAVEN & HOW TO GET THERE SAFELY On the 50th anniversary of Vatican II and the Opening Day of the Year of Faith, I had the honor of meeting with our new Bishop for the first time, His Excellency Gregory L. Parkes. We spoke of the evangelization the Association has done, with your help, in 55 countries and growing, and yet, we discussed, we have not done anything in our home diocese. On November 30th, I received a letter from His Excellency saying in part, “The Church encourages lay people, like you, to dedicate themselves to the Gospel message through prayer and other spiritual devotions. Our Diocese is blessed with other lay Catholics, as well, who are trying to offer encouragement and hope to everyone they meet along the road of life. The important thing to remember about the Churches’ encouragement is that movements like that to the Precious Blood must first rise and flourish among the faithful. This means that one person at a time, you and your community can positively influence the lives of others to see the virtues of this special devotion to the Precious Blood of Our Lord.” Our good Bishop is asking us to evangelize and share the fruits of this great devotion. We have already done this in 55 countries of the world, so now he asks us to bring this (continued on page 5) Imagine the world as a giant chess match between “good” and “evil.” Here you would see Satan playing against the likes of St Michael or Our Lady, all the while God follows the game with keen interest. Imagine the difficulty of the game if the “good” pieces refused to be moved as requested. Imagine if a pawn wanted to be the queen, a knight wanted to move like a rook, the rook didn’t want to go to the particular space it was moved to and the bishop just flatly refused to move at all! What would be the outcome of this chaotic game? How could good possibly triumph? Look at human life in the time we are living in. Because we have free will, we can move and do and say and think whatever we want no matter how void of truth, love, virtue or fact it may be. Yes, even many Catholics have this problem. We are rebellious chess pieces refusing to allow the Master to move us in a manner that would best win this game for souls. We believe WE know best, or that we would just like to do what pleases us in that particular moment, or we’ll think about God’s idea and even say we’ll “pray about it,” but not really pray at all because our minds are already made up. Yet God has a plan. He WANTS the salvation of every single soul that He (continued on page 6) REPARATION & THE GREAT MONTH of JULY OF SCHISMATICS & VISIONARIES Reparation is a theological concept and one of the deepest mysteries of our Catholic Faith. God, in His Almighty Providence, did not choose to wipe away all trace of our sins completely with the redeeming act of His Son; rather, He judged it better to demand satisfaction for the injuries which man had done to Him. It is better for man's education and spiritual growth that wrong-doing on his part should require an act of reparation. This act brings about humility, compunction, a firm desire not to offend God or his neighbor again, patient understanding when dealing with the faults of others, long-suffering, peace and a host of other good, holy, solid virtues. In our acts of reparation to God for our sins and the sins of others, we join our sacrifices, fastings, mortifications, sufferings and prayer to those of Our Lord and say with St Paul, (continued on page 6) By mariadivinemercytrueorfalse.blogspot.com & Patricia Fason & “MARIA DIVINE MERCY” “And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”(Matt 16:18) When trials came to the Church in the past, the saints never advocated fleeing the Church, nor open rebellion against her authorities. Jesus would never advocate a war between his faithful and his own Church! Whenever the Church suffered her dark days, Our Lord always raised up a great saint or two to right the wrongs and guide us through them. If you feel we are in those times, pray for that great saint or saints to come forward and right whatever wrongs you see. Pray and sacrifice! Your prayer is meritorious and worth a great deal and the prayers to the Precious Blood of Jesus are the most powerful on earth outside of the Mass. (cont. on page 7) 3 knowing that he hath but a short time.” (Rev. 12:12). After this he was known as the devil or satan; the accuser, the adversary. He now has one purpose to fulfill in the short time he has left, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10), and “He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.” (John 8:44). You, your loved ones, and all of humanity are now the targets of his bitter rage. He has found four access points into our lives and he never misses an opportunity to ruin our day….or our lives. Join us for our healing seminars in June and again in August, and find out how to lock him out for good and dump the baggage he brought with him. Heal your families of cancer, suicide, diabetes, despair, depression, fibromyalgia, heart trouble, addictions, untimely deaths, mental illnesses, sexual sins, hemorrhoids, sterility rage, accidents, varicose veins and more! Fr. Joseph has documented the healings. This is truly quite amazing! Then, after you and your family are healed, go on the offensive to regain the souls of your straying loved ones and all unrepentant sinners and bring them safely home to Heaven with joy. The Precious Blood devotion is so tremendously powerful, that once your family is healed, you will see marvels. Your prayer will be mighty in drawing down from heaven a shower of good on everyone you pray for. You will begin to change the course of human events for the better once you are released from the shackles of the evil one. And what a difference! We are offering this seminar free of charge, you have nothing to lose. All you need is a phone and a copy of Fr. Joseph’s book. Heal now from the baggage satan has dumped into your life, then once refreshed, we will teach you how to go out with the Precious Blood of Jesus and change the world for the better! BISHOP APPOINTS A CHAPLAIN for the ASSOCIATION of the PRECIOUS BLOOD! On May 14th, His Excellency Callistus V. Onaga, Bishop of the Diocese of Enugu, in Nigeria, appointed Rev. Msgr. Ferdinand Okpalaibekwe as Chaplain of the Association of the Precious Blood of Jesus. This is yet another step forward in the approval process of this devotion. Bishop Onaga, we have been told, approved this devotion by issuing an official statement in November 2012. We are still trying to bring you a copy of that document to share with you so you can share it with your priests and bishops. Thank the Good Lord for opening the hearts and doors that were necessary so that this devotion may soon be practiced by the whole world! We pray for a fruitful working relationship with Msgr.
