“… Cardinal Brandmüller suspected it was the former, and asserted we are “witnessing a new form of the classical Modernism of the early 20th century.”
But such an understanding of development is “sharply opposed” to “genuine” Catholic understanding, he said, adding that it “is to be emphatically stated that the instrumentum laboris * contradicts the binding teaching of the Church on decisive points, and is therefore to be qualified as heretical.”
“Inasmuch as even the fact of Divine Revelation is here being questioned, or misunderstood, one also now has to speak, additionally, of apostasy,” he added.
The document uses “a purely immanentist notion of religion” he said, and that Christian words and notions are used “as empty words.”
The instrumentum laboris “constitutes an attack on the foundations of the faith” in a way not thought possible before, he concluded.
“It must therefore be firmly and decidedly rejected,” Cardinal Brandmüller said.”
“ Sunday, July 20th, 2014, 16:45….
Rise, all of you, and hear My Voice now as I tell you this. Everything that I taught you, as being Sacred, will be pulled asunder. Many of you will find it confusing when so many Teachings, given by Me to My Church, will soon be dismissed as being not for these times. The times you are facing ahead will bring much anguish, for you will not be given the direction upon which My Church was built. The edifice will crumble, the faith of My sacred servants will be weakened, beyond your capacity of understanding, and all Truth will be demolished. Man-made doctrine will not feed your soul. Only I, Jesus Christ, can feed you with the Faith, which will make you fit to follow Me. Whatever you are told, you must always remain true to Me, for I will always remain loyal to you. …”
The Book of Truth:
“ Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014, 16:50
My dear children, my Son, Jesus Christ, is not loved by humanity as He once was. The indifference to His Existence has developed into a distaste of all Who He is, all that He represents and all that He promised. This has brought me much pain and sorrow.
As apostasy grows and spreads, He, Jesus Christ, will be denounced by every nation, until those who love Him and who follow His Teachings will be unable to declare their allegiance to Him, without having to suffer ridicule, mockery and slander. Those who are loyal to Him will be unable to proclaim the Truth unless they spend time in prayer, begging Him to help them to cope with the opposition they will have to face every day.
In order to remain loyal to Jesus Christ, you must love Him unconditionally. To love Him truly is a great blessing and is also a Gift from God. To those whose love for my Son has weakened, I ask that you recite this Prayer.
Crusade Prayer (160): Help me to love You more
O Jesus of mine, Saviour of the world, help me to love You more.
Help me to grow in my love for You.
Fill my heart with Your Love and Compassion,
so that I can attain the Graces to love You in the way that You love me.
Fill my ungrateful soul with a deep and abiding love for You
and all that You represent.
By the Power of Your Graces help me to love my neighbour
as You love every child of God
and to show compassion to those who are in need of Your Love
and who are without faith.
Unite me in union with You, so that I can lead the Christian life,
which You taught us by Your example during Your Time on Earth. Amen.
Love my Son, children, and He will spread His Love, so that every child of God will be drawn into His Great Mercy.
Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene
Lectionary: 603
Reading 1 SGS 3:1-4B
On my bed at night I sought him
whom my heart loves–
I sought him but I did not find him.
I will rise then and go about the city;
in the streets and crossings I will seek
Him whom my heart loves.
I sought him but I did not find him.
The watchmen came upon me,
as they made their rounds of the city:
Have you seen him whom my heart loves?
I had hardly left them
when I found him whom my heart loves.
OR 2 COR 5:14-17
Brothers and sisters:
The love of Christ impels us,
once we have come to the conviction that one died for all;
therefore, all have died.
He indeed died for all,
so that those who live might no longer live for themselves
but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh;
even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh,
yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.
Responsorial Psalm PS 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9
O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
to see your power and your glory,
For your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips shall glorify you.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
You are my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to you;
your right hand upholds me.
R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
Alleluia
Tell us Mary, what did you see on the way?
I saw the glory of the risen Christ, I saw his empty tomb.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Jn 20:1-2, 11-18
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping.
And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb
and saw two angels in white sitting there,
one at the head and one at the feet
where the Body of Jesus had been.
And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “They have taken my Lord,
and I don’t know where they laid him.”
When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there,
but did not know it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?
Whom are you looking for?”
She thought it was the gardener and said to him,
“Sir, if you carried him away,
tell me where you laid him,
and I will take him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned and said to him in Hebrew,
“Rabbouni,” which means Teacher.
Jesus said to her,
“Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
But go to my brothers and tell them,
‘I am going to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.'”
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples,
“I have seen the Lord,”
and then reported what he told her.”

Final Instructions
17 I urge you, brothers and sisters,[a] to keep an eye on those who cause dissensions and offenses, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them. 18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,[b] and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded. 19 For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise in what is good and guileless in what is evil. 20 The God of peace will shortly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.[c]
21 Timothy, my co-worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.[d]
22 I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.[e]
23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.[f] …”

The Purpose of the Parables
10 Then the disciples came and asked him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 He answered, “To you it has been given to know the secrets[a] of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 13 The reason I speak to them in parables is that ‘seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.’ 14 With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah that says:
‘You will indeed listen, but never understand,
and you will indeed look, but never perceive.
15 For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
so that they might not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away.[b] 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. 23 But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.””
