One day you stole me, nuncia vit Maria,
SPEAKER 01 :
At age 10, Father Andre escaped Christian massacres by living in caves in Mount Lebanon with his family. Today, Father Andre works tirelessly to encourage American leaders to keep God in the public square, defending religious freedom at home and abroad, so that all might live in peace for the glory of God. Founder and president of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, Father Andre has learned the secret to safety, joy, and peace. Love God and one another. Now, let us spend 33 minutes on the Lord’s Day, retuning ourselves to the truth of love in the hands of God.
SPEAKER 03 :
Praise be the most holy name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen. My brothers and sisters, Merry Christmas again and again. Today it is a privilege to say Joyeux Noël pour la nativité de notre Sauveur, le Fils de Dieu, notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. With me here in the studio of Irrevocable for the mission of Hope and Mercy is Xavier. Xavier is a wonderful Frenchman who studied the history and analyzed all the apparitions, the Marian apparitions of Our Lady. that happened in the last 500 years and throughout the recent history of the church, especially after the reform and after the split and the division that happened in France. What did our Lord Jesus Christ speak and say? Why did he ask for the consecration of France 100 years exactly before the French Revolution to Sister Margaret Marie Alacoque? Why did King Louis not respond to the consecration? What happened with the French Revolution? What happened with Saint Catherine de Labouré and the La Medaille Miraculeuse or the Miraculous Medal? What happened then in La Salette in France? What happened after that with Our Lady Notre Dame de Lourdes? With the Immaculate Conception, the Proclamation of Pope Pius? And then what happened after that in Our Lady of Fatima? And after Our Lady of Fatima, what happened in other apparitions, whether in Japan or in Spain? What happened in Medjugorje? where Our Lady came and she said in 1991, Mir, Mir, Mir, in local language, speaking of peace. It seems what today we will be sharing with you in our Irrevocable, in this beautiful podcast, this special podcast that comes today at the end of this year, in the closing of the Jubilee year, is to remove any feelings, of sadness. Jubilee is a very important year. Remember today the Holy Father in Rome closed the Jubilee 25 years into the 21st century have ended today. The Jubilee is a time of rejoicing, is a time of happiness, is a time of forgiveness of debts, is a time of reconciliation, is a time of healing, is a time of pilgrimage. People go to pilgrimage in the 25th year anniversary. We still have 75 years to go within our 21st century. But with that, remember how many people were betting on the ending of the world in the year 2000. Remember how much prophecies of dooms there were in the history of the late 20th century. Remember that the 25th anniversary inside this jubilee year of the 21st century concerns you, concerns your safety, concerns your economic welfare, concerns your houses, concerns peace and prosperity, the family, the faith, the life, and of course, and most of everything else, it does concern the Holy Church. It seems that Our Lady in the last 500 years, what we are looking forward to hear explained by Xavier is Our Lady, whether coming from heaven of course she’s coming by order of the father and of course she’s coming to help and spreading of the gospel of the news confirming the world and the triumph of the sacred heart of jesus christ who is the fruit of the womb who is her immaculate heart when our lady says in the end my immaculate heart will triumph of course she’s speaking about who is in her heart Jesus is her heart. That’s why it is a certainty that in the end her Immaculate Heart will triumph. It seems that Our Lady came to Earth, including in her apparition here in the Americas in the 1530s to Juan Diego in Mexico, Our Lady of Guadalupe. It seems she was doing a reputation management for the Church. Reputation management by means of recentering the church, refocusing the church on the call of her son, on the adoration to her son, on faith in her son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Was the church obedient? Did the church leaders listen to Our Lady? where at the same time in Europe, King Henry VIII was fighting him and Pope Leo X and Martin Lutheran, and Europe was divided. Protestantism and Catholicism brought 200 years of major war. There was a Bloody Mary, as we know, there was a Bloody Elizabeth, as we know, 40 years of persecution, followed after that by persecution of Christians in Far Asia, in China, in Japan, in the Middle East, and all over the world. Did the world listen to the messages of Our Lady from Lima to Mexico to Japan to France to Africa to Spain to the Middle East to Lebanon? And where does France fit in all of this? It’s a privilege today that in the end of this year At the closing of this Jubilee year of the 2025, you, myself, Father Andre, in the mission of hope and mercy, are joined by Xavier Ayal, who will be explaining to us, praying with us, and taking us on a trip through all the good work that heaven gave in the hands of Our Lady to send to us a message of avertissement we call it, a message of warning, a message of change the course, come back and focus on the love of my son and on his redemption. It is important for Our Lady, it seems, throughout the 500 years of war, that the Church will always remember her son as a son of God in his divine nature, but also as a fruit of her womb, the Word of God who is incarnate. in the flesh. Without further delay, we promised Xavier and myself, and I want to thank Felicia who arranged our communication, our dialogue today at this podcast of Irrevocable with Mission of Hope and Mercy. We want to pray the Angelus to Our Lady. And after we pray the Angelus to Our Lady, we will begin our conversation. Allow me, my brothers and sisters, to open the Angelus with a prayer to Our Lady. taken from the Maronite Syro-Antiochian Rite of the Holy Church. A rite that goes back to the very early centuries of the church. One of the oldest prayers. that the Christians in Antioch, in Damascus, in Syria, in Lebanon, in Tyre, in Sidon, in Byblos, in Beirut, in Holy Land, in Israel, in Jerusalem, in Bethlehem, and in Egypt would say is this beautiful prayer addressed by Saint Ephraim to Our Lady who says, O Holy Virgin Mary, O beautiful lily and fragrant rose, The fragrance of your holiness has filled the whole universe. Pray for us that we may become the sweet perfume and fragrance of Christ, your Son, the Son of God, that spreads throughout the entire world. We offer this prayer, and we offer our incense for the living, that they remain strong in faith, and for the dead, that they be granted salvation. And may we enjoy eternal happiness and praise the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen. Amen. And now, my friends, you and us, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in our little chapel, Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Queen of the Apostles from Lakewood, Colorado, at the Mission of Hope and Mercy Headquarters, and with Xavier from his location, and with you in your homes, let us begin our dialogue on this irrevocable path, as was Father Andrea and Xavier, by praying the Angelus. Angelus Domini, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. In French, voici la servante du Seigneur, qu’il nous soit fait selon votre parole. In Arabic and in Aramaic. Shlom Lech Maryam Amaliyat Taybutu Muram Amech Barakhtu Atev Neshe Wambarakhu Firut Karsikh Muram Bishu Amsheekh Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. O Lord, hear our prayers and let my cry come unto you. Peace be with you and with your Spirit. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Let us praise the Lord and give Him thanks. Let us pray. May the grace of our Lord God spread in our hearts and now that we know through the message of the angel, the incarnation of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, may we be led by his passion and by his cross to the glory of the resurrection, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. best-selling author on Marian apparitions, David Reyes Ariel. Good holy morning to you.
SPEAKER 02 :
Good morning to you, Father, and thank you for honoring me and by inviting me to your podcast channel. It is a privilege to be here with you.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it’s been like a long awaited, I believe, a sign appointed that Our Lady and Our Lord Savior Jesus Christ will that on this day, which will be the last weekend, the last Sunday of the year 2025, that Our Lady probably, and I know for a fact, chose you again and chose our simple name, our simple name in the mission of Hope and Mercy to speak again to all the children of Our Lord in the United States, in Europe, in France, in Lebanon, and in the entire world. What do you believe the message of Our Lady at the closing celebration of the Jubilee year in 2025 and before we begin with 2026 is to the world?
SPEAKER 02 :
In my opinion, Father, after having and continuing to work with some of the messengers that God has chosen here on earth, to spread this call of conversion, this urgent call of conversion, I would say, that the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the name of her Son, asks all the faithful, first and foremost, not to be afraid, but to convert now, now before it’s too late. For indeed, the events that have been foretold, for which we’ve been forewarned now for, as we mentioned ever so capably a few moments ago, the moments of prophecies are upon us. There is time still to convert, which means principally to convert by consecrating ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Christ, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to return to the Holy Sacraments of the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church. Not just Roman, let’s say to the Catholic and Apostolic Church, particularly. for those who are not Catholics yet or Christians, baptism. Then most importantly, most importantly, holy confession, frequent confession. And most of all, as a cornerstone of the call that is being placed upon us, to go back to the Holy Mass and to receive our Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, while believing that we are truly receiving His Body and Blood, His Soul and His Divinity, in this particular instance which we must use as an opportunity of gravity, being before Him, receiving Him in a state of grace, properly confessed, cleansed, and I wouldn’t say worthy, for none of us are. But that is indeed what is required of us, what we are invited to do, to go to our Lord Jesus Christ’s banquet. And… It appears to me that this particular transmission that is being transmitted throughout the world, particularly in Lebanon, which I believe of all the places you mentioned, is undoubtedly the one that is under greatest pressure. It is of the utmost importance. And I’ll finish simply by, if you permit me Father, by sending something, a message to our fellow Christians in Beirut, in Lebanon, in France. With your permission, my father. Of course, of course. France is watching you, the true France, the one that is silent, the one that is waiting, the one that gave up at the foot of the cross is watching you from afar, praying for you. And the day will come when the one we are waiting for will manifest himself and will also come to your aid. You are not alone. We love you and we will not forget you and we will stay with you in prayer. Thank you, my Father.
SPEAKER 03 :
My dear brothers and sisters, and a message in French. First of all, welcome my brothers and sisters from all over the United States and from all over the world. We are about 3,000 people who joined us now in this beautiful, irrevocable podcast, which is happening live on our channel. on Acts for the Mission of Hope and Mercy. Please share the link. I promise you this dialogue is going to be very interesting. It’s going to be very big. It’s going to be very, very, very important. And it’s going to be very important for you, for your sake, for your safety, for your homes, for your families, for your friends, for the peace in the United States. It’s going to be revealing, revealing how on a very intimate level, we as human beings, and live can prepare ourselves and I’m going to ask Isaiah to explain to you what does it mean to have illumination of conscience illumination of conscience it is very important to understand those principles those, I do not want to call them ideas, but it’s a mechanism that heaven gave to us in our hands, illumination of conscience. What does it mean? And what are we about to see in the world? And how is this different from being a message of doom versus being a message of hope for us? Instead of being an announcement of darkness, it is actually an awakening. a warning for us how to remain in a state of grace, as Xavier said. Through what? What forms of prayers? What is the connection to the Eucharist? So, we are a little bit selfish, Xavier and myself, because the relationship between France and Lebanon has been historic. has been even before the crusades believe me even before the crusades and as you know when the crusades were announced in the year 1099 they were announced by the pope in france not in rome they started in a beautiful basilica cathedral in the southeast of France, in the Central Massif. And when the very first Crusades landed in the Middle East, not using airplanes, but their naves basically, they landed in Lebanon, in Tripoli, not Tripoli, Libya, which is in Africa. You know, we have to be good now in our geography and history. But they landed in Tripoli, North Lebanon, Raymond Gilles and the first Crusades. When they arrived to the seashores of Tripoli in North Lebanon, the city in which I was born, And that’s, you know, my story by now a little bit, I guess. They thought they were going to be received with the sores and with the murders and with the killings, and they’re going to go into a bloody big battle. As they approached the seashore on the little islands to see Tripoli in North Lebanon, They noticed the beautiful big white flags. They noticed the sign of the cross. They noticed giant human beings known as the Marada, Maronites Marada, meaning the resilience, the resilience, which were the Maronites in the East. And the last time the Church of Rome and the West had ever heard that the Maronites, who are the only Christian form in the Middle East, that survived all the Muslim conquests from al-Khulafa al-Rashidun and before him, Muhammad since 622, all the way to the Umayyads, all the way to the Abbasid regime and the second Abbasid regime. It was the Maronites. The last time Rome and the West had ever heard of Christians in the Middle East from the disciples of Saint Marin was in the year 517. A little bit after the Council of Chalcedon, which happened in 451, there was this huge massacre. happened in the Apamea, the Asi River, a river that flows from the Bekaa Valley, not far from Baalbek or Heliopolis, and it goes all the way inside Syria, and it goes down to Antioch, inside Turkey. The disciples of Saint Mary, who stood for their faith in the Nicene Creed, defending the two natures of Jesus Christ, perfectly divine, perfectly human. On July 31st, 350 monks of them were killed. The library in northern Syria of Apamea and the monastery of St. Mary was completely destroyed by the Jacobites and the Monophysites, a sect that is within Christianity who did not believe at the time in the faith of Rome. and the disciples of St. Mary ran away and they hid in the caves in the mountains of Lebanon. And on the way going, the head bishop of the monastery of St. Mary wrote a letter to Pope Hormizda I, which reached him in the year 517. So that’s like over 50 years after, 60 years after the Council of Chalcedon. in which he says, we, the disciples of St. Mary, suffered a great ordeal of a bloodbath. The Jacobites came on us and they killed the 350 monks. They burned our library, which kept the gospel in the Aramaic language, the very first gospel that we believe was written. And that gospel only survived because of the work of St. Ephraim the Syriac, by the way. And then, now we’re running, he tells them in a letter to the mountains of Lebanon, to hide in the caves under the cedars of God, covered by the snow of the holy mountain of God. And Europe and the Pope thought that this was the end of Christians in the Middle East. In 622, Muhammad came and Al-Dawa came and the Muslim conquest politically and militarily was so bloody it came all the way until it started exposing the pilgrims who came from Europe to Jerusalem to major dangers. And you know the story with Saint Bernard. You know the story of the establishment of the Knights. You know the story of the First and the Second, the Third and the Fourth Crusades. And you know the story of Saint Francis who met with a Sultan somewhere in Egypt. You know the story how it happened after that. But a French event amidst all of this happened between King Louis IX, St. Louis. We have the city in St. Louis, Missouri here. St. Louis himself, when he went on the Crusades to the Middle East, He took his place in Lebanon and he stayed in the Valley of the Saints in Kan Nubin and in Wadi Qadisha, the Valley of the Saints, which is underneath exactly the historical cedars of God in high mountains of Lebanon, which now has a huge snowstorm and they are covered under feet and feet and feet of snow. And there, as a token to dedicate his crusades for the the victory of our Lord, he dedicated his staff, the crozier of the King of France, to the monastery of St. Anthony the Great and the Valley of the Saints of Cozhaia. And this is to tell you, he also left a big bull, a decree, an imperial decree from the King of France. He said, I, Louis IX, from my blood and the blood of all the kings to come, For the future to come, for all the friendship people, I pledge and I promise in the saint and holy monastery that I will protect, that France will protect and will always stand to protect the Maronite nation, the Maronite people and the Maronite church representing the Christians who had remained in the Middle East for centuries and until ever and ever. This is the type of relationship that we have between France and Lebanon. That’s why I had to do this introduction, unfortunately, but eventually it’s a good one for you to learn a little bit of the history as American friends. What do we expect today from the United States and the Middle East? What do we expect today from the president of the United States, for the Christians in Lebanon, from Emmanuel Macron and the French president? So for Xavier to say the true France, the historical France, the faithful France still stands, even though from far. even from under the ashes because even the french people today are suffering from the consequences of the french revolution from the hate to our lord and savior jesus christ the hate to our lady the burning one church after the other not only the burning of notre dame de paris that happened under the first administration at the time in 1920 2019 or 18 i believe something like that But also, you know, two few days ago, they tried to burn the historical church in the sanctuary of Notre Dame de Lourdes, where Our Lady appeared to Bernadette. And there in 1858, she revealed, or 1864, she revealed she is the Immaculate Conception. And all of this, we will cover today with Xavier. So after this introduction, your comment, Xavier, and all what I said.
SPEAKER 02 :
It was absolutely lovely, Father. I would say even necessary for you to discuss this matter in this step. Merci, mon Père. No, what I wish to say, it’s a difficult act to follow. It’s a beautiful expose. If I were to say anything at all regarding the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, from the time that Father discussed with Marguerite Marie à la Coque, under the reign of his Altesse royale, Louis XIV. It was indeed a manifestation and apparitions of our Lord Jesus Christ, who already at that time, being able to know the present and the future, knew what was afoot. He knew what was necessary, not merely for the Catholic Church, for France, but as well for the world. And one of the things, as most of you who are watching us today already know, our Lord did ask France, where the time was personalized through the person of its monarch, Louis XIV, to consecrate France to his sacred heart and to place upon every banner involving the French military a sacred heart upon every single war flag that every French army unit flew while in active duty. Unfortunately for France, this request by a Lord was utterly ignored, or possibly passed by the Hand, and the consequences we, who are French, unfortunately know quite bitterly. 100 years, sometimes thereafter, came the French Revolution, which, as we all know, was an inspiration and as a result of a movement that overtook part of the French nobility by the first French lodgers of Freemasonry, which initially started in 1717 in Scotland, later to be developed throughout the country of England, particularly London. So from that moment forth, heaven entered into a cross blade fight with its principal enemy. And this fight shows as a battlefield France, particularly because as Father explained it earlier, France, since the very early years of its history, particularly through his, son Altesse royale Louis IX, King Saint Louis, has become, and even before I would dare say, even from the crowning and the baptism of the first king of France, Clovis, who was the first king of the Gauls. From that moment on, with the baptism of Clovis by his Excellency Bishop Saint-Rémy, France took upon itself a particular vow, that of defending the Catholic Church and the faith. From that moment forth, France, or the Kingdom of France, was known as the Church’s eldest daughter. As we mentioned before, with Marguerite, Marie, Alacoque, this was the beginning of everything. It was the initialization of a future announcement, an avertissement, as father said, an admonition of sorts, where France was to fall on its knees in humiliation. With the fall and the execution of two of its principal monarchs, their Altesse, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, who despite all the propaganda and all the history books today, were not as they were pictured, were not the horrible monsters and careless monarchs as they are depicted to be by the winners of the spoils, but rather they were monarchs who were dedicated to a certain idea of France, of love, to the point that even the countrymen within the countryside of France fought and rose, saying with one single voice, non, vive le roi. And I take for an example the peasants, the people of the countryside of Vendée, the people of the countryside of Bretagne, of Chignon, of Doremy, of Gascogne, of Bourgogne, of Picardie, who rose all together, men who didn’t even know yet how to even write their names, took their pitchforks, took their weapons and said, Vive le roi, vive la reine, vive Jésus-Christ. The message of the Virgin Mary was sent, the brain fog sometimes thereafter. Beginning perhaps with La Salette, which took place, if memory serves, please do correct me, Father, on September 19th, 1846, if memory serves, was only one apparition. was a message, another call of conversion. But yes, it was a call of, as Father said a few moments ago, an illumination of conscience. To take conscience, first of all, of the times we were living, and to take conscience of what we were warned was about to happen in the next 200 years thereafter. One of the secrets of La Salette, and I don’t want to monopolize the floor, Father, you speak ever so beautifully, please take over whenever you see fit. I tend to be somewhat long-winded, so please take over, I beg you. But there was one of the principal messages of Our Lady of La Salette was the call and the announcement of an upcoming great monarch who would be a direct descendant of the Altesse Royale Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. His task, we are told, through the Blessed Virgin Mary, would be to come back to France when France would be on its knees and at its lowest point in its history. And the purpose of this king would be not only to re-establish France to its glory of yesteryear, but most importantly, the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, which the Blessed Virgin Mary said would come to fall as well, where seeing its capital, Rome, lose its faith. seeing the seat of St. Peter being temporarily occupied in accordance with the messages of the Virgin Mary and Antichrist.
