Vol. 2 Teachings of St. John Vianney to the Priests

My dear priest brothers, I plead with you tonight - reinstate the TRUE TRADITION OF FAITH in the hearts of the flock entrusted to you. Do not be swayed by the false agendas of dissenters. Do not be confused to think that you must collect large amounts of money, but trust in God's Divine Providence. You will be given everything you need and more"

Saint John Vianney - Holy Love

 

January 10, 2003 – St. John Vianney is here and says… “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, when you pray for priests, pray that they become more holy, and that their hearts open to see where they are weak. For they are not holy by virtue of their vocation, but because of their vocation they are to work on their personal holiness so that they can help others. My sweet and merciful Jesus desires to draw every priest deep into the Chambers of the United Hearts. I will bless you with My Priestly Blessing.”

 

April 11, 2003 – Second Friday Rosary Service to Pray for Priests… “Praise be to Jesus… My brothers and sisters, during this tumultuous time, priests need to cling to their Heavenly Mother with self-effacement. And with great ardor, they need to pursue Holy Love. For I tell you, the Holy Mother is calling with much energy ALL the priests of the world into Her Immaculate Heart which is Holy Love and the First Chamber. I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

June 13, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, pray for all priests who feel that their ministry is ineffective. This is a trap of discouragement that Satan lays for priests, and many have fallen into it. Pray for priests who are already discouraged and consider abandoning their vocations. St. John extends his Priestly Blessing.

 

July 11, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My dear priest brothers, I plead with you tonight – reinstate the TRUE TRADITION OF FAITH in the hearts of the flock entrusted to you. Do not be swayed by the false agendas of dissenters. Do not be confused to think that you must collect large amounts of money, but trust in God’s Divine Providence. You will be given everything you need and more. Tonight I extend to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

August 8, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, I desire that you pray and sacrifice for the priests and the Church hierarchy as well, that all that is concealed in darkness be brought into the light. Until this occurs, priests will be regarded with suspicion instead of the respect they deserve. My brothers and sisters, pray very hard for these intentions. I am praying with you. I am extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

September 12, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, tonight I tell you that every priest has a vocation within a vocation which is to lead his flock in the two great commandments of love – love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself. This is Holy Love. I tell you that Holy Love is the passkey to the Gate of Heaven and the Heel that will crush the head of the Serpent. How important then that this be made known! I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

October 10, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My dear brothers and sisters, please realize in this age of self-centered secularism, all priests must answer a vocation within a vocation. Every priest is called to personal holiness. The priest that does not answer this call is not a good priest and does not fulfill his priesthood the way Heaven commands. Pray for priests! Pray for priests! I’m imparting to you My Priestly Blessing.”

 

November 14, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, tonight pray, pray that all priests observe the sanctity of the present moment by pursuing personal holiness. This can only be accomplished through humility and complete surrender to Holy Love which is God’s Divine Will for each soul, but most especially for priests. Tonight I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

December 12, 2003 – “Praise be to Jesus. (He nods at everyone, then continues…) My brothers and sisters, whole Dioceses could be converted if Bishops would adopt this spiritual journey and put it in the hands of their priests. Parishoners would follow it readily, for they are thirsty for a spirituality that will lead them deep into the Heart of Jesus. Make this known. St. John extends to us his Priestly Blessing.

 

January 9, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus. Tonight I have come to help you understand that all priests are on the front lines of spiritual warfare. They are attacked on all sides and must remain faithful despite opposition and every kind of compromise. I have come to help you see that the way to be strong is through prayer and sacrifice, and take as your breastplate the armor of truth. Never disdain one of these dear priests, but pray for them. I am blessing you.”

 

February 13, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, pray for your priests for they are much under attack. When I speak of priests, I include Church hierarchy. Vocations become compromised when priests allow Satan to let them worry more about money and friendships and power than in saving souls. But if all priests cling to the Divine Will of God which is Holy Love itself, their vocations will be safe in the Heart of their Savior. I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

May 14, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, today it is true vocations are attacked on many fronts, but always these attacks are against Holy Love in the heart. For while each person is called to holiness through pursuit of Holy and Divine Love, it is even more important for priests and seminarians. Pray that priests have holy discernment to realize how they are being attacked, and to know which is good and which is evil. Tonight I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

June 11, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus. Tonight I tell you that priests who draw their flock into the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus will succeed in converting many souls. Priests that downplay the centrality of the Holy Eucharist will lose many souls. (St. John extends his hands out over the priests in the apparition room. Then he says…) “I’m blessing the people here with My Priestly Blessing.”

 

July 9, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus. (He greets Fr. G. by nodding, then says to him…) Thank you for coming. My brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for priests to pursue personal holiness, for it is only in this way that their flocks will be converted. They must be an inspiration of virtue to the flock they have been entrusted with. This is the way they will be judged according to the influence in Holy Love that they had on their flock. I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

August 13, 2004 – “Praise be to Jesus… (He looks at Fr. J. and gives him a blessing. Then he says…) My brothers and sisters, I come that you may understand Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Make Him the center of your hearts. Priests will always succeed in their vocations so long as they guard against inordinate self-love. This disordered love keeps them from saving souls. They must be examples of humility. Tonight I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

NOVENA TO THE UNITED HEARTS FOR HOLINESS OF PRIESTS

“Praise be to Jesus. My little daughter–child of God–I have been sent to dictate to you this novena for all priests. It is given to me at the command of the Eternal Now to be prayed for the strengthening of the Church from within through the intercession of the United Hearts. It will return many priests who are compromising their vocations to the path of righteousness–the path of Holy Love. Each day the following prayer should be recited:

Prayer for each day:

“I beseech You–Blessed United Hearts of the Most Holy Trinity, together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary–help me in all of my weaknesses and imperfections. Remind me always that my vocation is a gift from you. Assist me in being an image of Divine Love to all those I minister to. Give to me the gift of touching even the most hardened souls. Amen.”

Day 1 – “Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the infinite power and grace of the United Hearts, I ask for the grace of desiring to be holy. Strengthen this desire in every present moment so that I can inspire deep personal holiness in those I minister to. Increase my love for you, dear United Hearts. Amen.”

Day 2 – “Most Holy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me to inspire those entrusted to my care with this desire towards personal holiness. Give me Holy Boldness to fill the hearts of my flock with this desire. Help me to inspire them by my own example. Amen.”

Day 3 – “Most Worthy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, never allow me to forget, that as a priest, it is my duty to make the sacraments available to my flock, for it is the sacraments [especially the Eucharist and Confession] that protect and encourage personal holiness, and which strengthen whole parishes. Knowing this, I must encourage frequent confession, as well as Eucharistic Adoration. I must never limit their availability out of selfish use of my own time. Help me, dear United Hearts, to place others’ spiritual welfare ahead of my own ease. Amen.”

Day 4 – “Most Holy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as a priest, help me to help my flock to grow in virtue, for the virtues are the building blocks of personal holiness. Help me, dear United Hearts, to educate my flock as to the importance of Holy Love in the present moment, for all virtue is based on Holy Love. Amen.”

(On 5/20/09 St. John Vianney gave the following message and prayer for Day 5:)

“Praise be to Jesus. Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the United Hearts of the Holy Trinity, priests must pray to please God and live in harmony with the Will of God. This is the dictate of Holy Love–Holy Humility. These two virtues are companions; one cannot exist in the soul without the other. The depth of either is dependent upon the depth of the other. Each day priests are tested in these two virtues.”

“Let this be the priests’ prayer:”

Day 5 – “Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, * Most Holy United Hearts, let me not fail in any test of Holy Love or Holy Humility. I must realize that the test is the opportunity God gives me to practice every virtue. I pray to accept the graces I am given to succeed in every test. I pray to be able to teach others to do so. Amen.”

* Recite the prayer given to priests by Blessed Mother on Aug. 18, 2007.

Day 6 – “Most Holy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, today I pray that any disordered desire to be popular with people be taken from my heart. I will not place love of money ahead of shepherding my flock. I will trust in God’s Divine Provision. I pray for courage and Holy Boldness to speak out against all sin, even the sins that have been carried by Satan into the political arena, such as abortion, same sex marriage, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research. Lord, give to me a righteous tongue. Amen.”

 

Day 7 – “Most Worthy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as a priest, help me always to realize the value of self-effacement and poverty of spirit. Help me never to place myself first–my own needs or my own feelings. My personal holiness depends upon my efforts to place God and others first. Assist me, dear United Hearts, in detaching from the false gods of reputation, material gain and intellectual pride, for these are all doorways that liberalism uses to destroy vocations. I petition you, United Hearts, protect me from these traps. Amen.”

 

Day 8 – “Most Holy United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me always to speak and to teach through the Spirit of Truth. In this age of compromise, I need your assistance in combating all heresy against the Tradition of Faith. Help me to stand firm in all that the Catechism teaches, and never to alter my views to please others. Amen.”

 

Day 9 – “All Worthy, All Loving United Hearts, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I, your faithful priest, beg your assistance in preparing my flock for the triumphant return of Jesus. I understand that Jesus’ Victory will be a Victory of Holy and Divine Love. Assist me in any effort of propagating these messages of Holy and Divine Love, for I see they are scripturally sound and based on truth. I must encourage others to live in Holy Love, for this is the Gateway to the New Jerusalem, and the path of salvation. Safeguard my heart against discouragement. Fill me with Holy Boldness. Amen.”

 

For handout of Novena to be prayed by Priests ( here… )

For Novena for Lay Faithful to pray for Priests: ( here…)

 

May 22, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. I have come to help you understand the significance of this novena I just dictated to you. Encapsulated within these words is the directive to becoming a good priest. Such a priest places his own personal holiness and the holiness of his flock first. This is the embrace of Holy Love. The priest cannot do this with sincerity and still enjoy the roles of social director, financial director or embrace liberalism. Everything else becomes secondary, even miniscule, to his own journey in holiness and the holiness of all those in his charge. When Jesus looks into the heart of a priest, this is what He searches out. How many priests today live in such simplicity?”

 

May 29, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. I wish to describe to you an arrogant person. Such a person has an unwarranted exulted opinion of himself. He cannot accuse himself of weaknesses or faults, but believes himself to be always on the right path. Such a one easily falls into judging as opposed to discerning. I am telling you these things, for the heart of the world reflects the arrogance that is in hearts today.”

 

June 12, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, as the year of the Priesthood is about to begin under my patronage, I have come to ask that you multiply your prayers for holy priests. Priests can become holier if they perform a self-examination of conscience nightly. Then they will see the importance of the Sacrament of Penance, and they will promote it to their flock. Pray very hard, for priests are very much under attack on all sides. Tonight I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

July 10, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. The Holy Mother sends me tonight with an open invitation to Her Immaculate Heart for all priests who come here [Maranatha Spring & Shrine] during this hour of temptation that weighs upon the fruits of their vocations. Their vocations can be strengthened here through the many graces offered with love, tenderness and care. Tonight I’m imparting to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

July 22, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. My daughter, always seek the vestment of littleness. This is the cloak of humility God desires for you. Those who proclaim judgments against Heaven’s designs upon you will, in time, fall to defeat. Humility is not in ambition, power or control. Humility does not seek self-recognition or the desire to be ‘right’. Littleness desires hiddenness, self-effacement and always embraces truth. Humility is itself the truth of the soul’s place before God, not the soul’s place before the eyes of man. Earthly reputation is passing and does not follow you into Heaven. All that is necessary is Holy Love in the heart, for Holy Love and Holy Humility cannot be separated. To embrace one is to embrace the other. You cannot embrace littleness outside of these two. Self-love remains the enemy of littleness. Remain hidden in the most humble of human hearts–the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

 

September 10, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus… (He raises up both hands like he’s blessing the priests here…) My brothers and sisters, tonight these priests represent all priests to me. I desire all priests surrender their hearts totally and completely to the Chambers of the United Hearts. This is why I have come–why Jesus has asked that this night [Thursday] be prayed for priests. It is through the United Hearts, priests, like all those who follow these Messages, will come deeper into holiness and can greatly assist the spirituality of their flock. Tonight I am blessing you with my Priestly Blessing.”

 

October 9, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, each time before you begin to pray, recall in your heart how much God the Father loves you, that He gave His Only Begotten Son to be given up to death for you. Then recall how much Jesus loves you, that He surrendered everything on your behalf. Always return love to Him Who is All Love. (The Cure motions toward the Crucifix…) Priests should remind their flocks of these truths before they begin to pray. I’m imparting to you my Priestly Blessing.”

 

October 22, 2009 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, I tell you solemnly that each priest has the solemn duty of speaking out against abortion to the general public. Not to do so offends God and causes many sins in the world that the priest is then responsible for. Do not let concerns for popularity, money or esteem keep you, my brother priests, from doing this. I’m imparting to you tonight my Priestly Blessing.”

 

August 4, 2010 – Feast of St. John Vianney… “Praise be to Jesus. Tonight I am speaking to my dear priest brothers whom I invoke – keep your hearts centered on what is above… (He points upward with his finger…) Let your lives be centered on prayer and sacrifices especially the Holy Mass and the Holy Eucharist. Do not get caught up in trendy practices such as yoga or reiki for these are evil. Lead your flock in Holy Love and all arguments and dissension will disappear. I am imparting to you tonight my Priestly Blessing.”

 

October 7, 2010 – “Praise be to Jesus. My brothers and sisters, all priests should have as their priority the administration of the sacraments to their flock, but second and also very important, is that they should be devoted to the holy rosary and spread this devotion. If priests would follow this agenda, there would be no bad priests. I’m extending to you my Priestly Blessing.”
