Father John Hardon - Prophet # 3 of 3

Father John A. Hardon, S.J. – A Holy Man – A Prophet # 3 of 3
St. Francis of Assisi, Oct. 4th, 2004
The following is the third and last of the monthly pro-life messages on Father Hardon’s prophetic talk in Chicago in the year 1995. (for November Bulletin)

Father’s last paragraph shall be first. “Forty six years in the priesthood have taught me many things – I share this with you. Believe! Have deep faith in Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist and He will, I repeat, He will bring back to His heart those estranged from Him no matter how deeply immersed in sin they now be. That is why we can say and say with complete security, the single most powerful means on earth for the conversion of America is for Catholic America to mobilize a crusade of prayer before the Holy Eucharist for the conversion of our beloved nation. I have a short concluding prayer.” We’ll read it at the end.

“One miraculous communication of our Lady after another and especially of Our Lady of Fatima pleading, urging, urging people to be converted to return to the God from whom they have strayed.”… Pray the Rosary is her message.

“ When one learned theologian after another may God forgive them speak now (1995) what they call the fundamental option, clever language, the only mortal sin they claim is the habit of what the Church for centuries has called mortal sins, only the habit of abortion, only the habit of adultery, of perjury, can become if you please a mortal sin.”…

“During his first visit to the U.S. and in Chicago from which I am now speaking the Holy Father pleaded with the American Hierarchy. In the name of God, he told the Bishops will you please I beg you bring your people back to the confessional.”…

“When we pray before the Eucharist we profess to believe… It was God shedding human blood so that we might be spared the fires of hell. All of this we believe as we pray before the Blessed Sacrament either exposed on the altar or reserved in the Tabernacle.” It is the prayer of faith in the Real Presence.

In his famous hymn, Tantum Ergo Sacramentum, St. Thomas Aquinas wants all Catholics to understand this Latin “Praestet fides supplementum, sensuum defectui”, in English, “that faith supply for the defect of the senses.” The apostles said to Jesus: ‘Increase our faith!’ (Lk 17:5)

Here is Father Hardon’s closing prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, present on our altars in the Sacrament of your love, we beg you to restore to your friendship the multitude of wayward sheep, wandering in darkness in the shadow of death. We ask you – Our Eucharistic Lord to have mercy on so many persons who are in danger of losing their souls – by the blood you shed for them on Calvary grant them the humanity to repent so that by repenting, they will merit your reconciliation here on earth and eternal salvation in the world to come. Amen

Here is Pope John Paul II”s message: This Eucharistic Year Oct. 04 to Oct. 05. “start afresh from Christ” by “contemplating more assiduously the countenance of the Incarnate Word really present in the Sacrament.” (Magnificat, Oct. 2004)
