(LifeSiteNews) — A faithful Catholic priest is urging the faithful to turn to a supernatural remedy to the satanic evils of our times, found through the “channels of grace” God has given us.
“Just when it seems like the restrictions are being lifted and life might go back to normal, here comes another crisis,” said the “parking lot priest,” one of the pastors who continued to say Mass during the 2020 church lockdowns said in a sermon shared by The Remnant. “Do not be duped into thinking that this is anything other than these same satanists … They will bring us from crisis to crisis for their collapse and their Great Reset.”
“Can we stop it? Purely humanly speaking, no,” the priest declared.
He encouraged listeners, however, with the reminder that we have even more powerful tools at our disposal than the globalists: the supernatural gifts of God. While the “preternatural world of the demonic trumps the purely natural world in its cunning and power,” the “supernatural trumps preternatural.”
“And we have access to the supernatural,” he said, “through the channels of grace that God has established: the Mass, sacraments, and sacramentals.”
These supernatural gifts also come “through personal channels that God avails to us when we are in a state of grace, particularly through prayer and penance and acts of charity,” he added.
The parking lot priest explained that the globalists are so powerful their power comes from Satan — but this should not be surprising to us, in part because of what Scripture reveals.
In a recent Gospel reading, “Satan put three temptations to our Lord,” including the notable “offer of the kingdoms of the world in all of their majesty, splendor and power.” The important point here, said the parking lot priest, is that Satan “stated that these worldly kingdoms had been given over to him to do with as he pleased.”
While Satan is the “father of lies,” and such an offer was “blasphemy,” he also sometimes mixes in truth with his lies “for an evil purpose,” and Father argued this was the case here, because “after all, our Lord described Satan as the prince of this world,” in St. John’s Gospel.
“A prince, of course, is less than a king. God is king of the universe,” he continued. But God allowed Satan to have a restricted degree of power — not absolute power — over the world so that a “greater good” could come out of it.
While our Lord rejected Satan’s offer, “not everyone has said no to the prince of this world when made a similar offer,” he went on, asserting that all throughout history, powerful leaders have been made such an offer, and in turn have “bent the knee to Satan.”
This is the case now, he argued, with the ruling “globalists” whose “wealth and power” is “staggering in its proportion, no doubt because they bent the knee to the evil one. They are satanists,” he said.
They “have infiltrated, it seems, every aspect of human society and existence,” he said, including the “mainstream church,” which is not only weak and corrupt but “even complicit with those who have bent the knee to the evil one.”
According to the parking lot priest, this is evidenced by the fact that as the globalists “determined that true religion is non-essential” in the face of COVID-19, “so many of our leaders rolled over and denied the faithful access to the principal channels of grace here on earth, the very thing that was needed most: the Mass and the sacraments.”
Our response to all of this should be “to stay on our knees, physically and figuratively,” Father said. “When God allows … evil to seemingly triumph, it’s a message to the world that you’re in rebellion against God, and you are covered in sin. Get on your knees and repent. And maybe like Nineveh, we could be saved.”
“Even in the face of the weakness of the institutional church,” he said, it is “particularly important” that we make use of the “personal shroud of protection,” a kind of “spiritual bubble,” that “goes with us because we are in a state of grace,” as we receive God’s grace “from a variety of channels.”
He emphasized that this is a spiritual protection, not a physical one.
“Let’s open ourselves up, make use of those channels of grace. Let’s respond to the calls to prayer and penance and acts of charity. Let’s keep our own shroud of protection … strong, impervious to what the prince of this world intends,” he concluded.
