THE VOICE OF TRUTH PART 659 EPISODE 2 - THE ACTIVITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NEW ERA

THE VOICE OF TRUTH PART 659 EPISODE 2 - THE ACTIVITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NEW ERA

Van Anh: Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Men and Women , and viewers who are seeking truth.

Greetings, Father Martino. In the previous video, Father Pedro shared with us about the Holy Spirit's work in the life of Jesus Christ; Father Paul spoke about the Holy Spirit's work in the lives of those chosen by God in His plan of salvation. Now, could you please share with us how priests and religious orders today live under the influence of the Holy Spirit? Please, Father.

Father Martino:

Greetings, Van Anh.

Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Men and Women , and viewers who are seeking truth. I am Father Martino Mai Anh Tuan.

Dear viewers,

God is all-knowing, from above, He sees how His children are living. He especially sees that the shepherds in the Church, as well as men and women religious, are gradually straying from His path, gradually losing the essence of their vocation. This is because they do not let the Holy Spirit guide them, but allow Satan to infiltrate and guide their thoughts and actions. Therefore, today, God wants us, as His prophets, to point out the wrongs of the pastors, as well as the religious who are currently being controlled and tempted by Satan, and how successful Satan has been in them. We say this not to accuse or condemn anyone, but only to expose Satan's schemes and bring them to light, so that they no longer have the opportunity to act on those chosen by God, so that they may know how to live up to their noble calling.

And now, I would like to point out Satan's schemes that have been very successful in many places among God's pastors:

First, regarding the passion of lust: Satan has been very successful with bishops, priests, and men and women religious, when they are not vigilant in recognizing and controlling Satan's temptations. Without prayer in union with God, to have the strength to recognize Satan's temptations, without fasting, sacrifice, prayer, and mortification to atone for sins, one cannot control Satan's temptations of lust. Let us ask ourselves, have the bishops, priests, and men and women religious today controlled their bodies, or are they still indulging in the lustful desires of the flesh, through thoughts, glances, and actions?

Some priests and bishops in the Church, as well as religious in religious orders, have corrupted their chastity because of lust, and have created new life. But because they want to protect their reputation and position, they want to cover up their mistakes and have cruelly destroyed those lives without any remorse. It is a grave sin to destroy the lives that God the Father has given. This is an offense to God the Father Himself, for only God the Father is the Creator of life, and only He has authority over those lives. So, how can those who lead the flock in such actions set a bad example for the laity?

And there are even some pastors who live like people in the world: having wives and children secretly. These people are trying to deceive the world, but they cannot deceive God. Let us ask ourselves, what will become of this sin when we stand before the judgment seat?

Second is setting a bad example for the flock through the indulgence in food and drink: Pastors must be role models for the flock to follow, yet some still indulge in alcohol at parties, thereby tarnishing the image of the shepherd, setting a bad example for their flock, to the point that they have to exclaim: "Father drinks, Father enjoys himself, Father likes places of entertainment and luxury, Father even goes up to the altar to offer Mass smelling of alcohol, so I should be allowed to drink too, I should be allowed to have fun too…" Let us ask ourselves, when the laity exclaims that, do the pastors feel any remorse, or do they continue to be controlled by Satan's conscience and argue that pastors are also human, also have weaknesses and sins, so it's not a big deal?

Thirdly, the passion for money: most pastors today are caught up in this passion, so they are busy accumulating wealth for themselves, to satisfy their bodies and forget about those who are suffering, who are working hard and struggling, who have to worry about food and clothing every day and night to support their families. Is this like the image of a poor Jesus Christ?

Look at the poor Jesus Christ, He became poor to accompany, to love people, even though He was not poor. He gave all His poverty so that the poor could be sympathized with and loved. Some pastors today are luxurious, with rich villas, expensive cars, and luxurious pleasures like tycoons, so is it worthy of the poor image of Jesus Christ?

Next, is the passion for fame and power: When not daring to abandon the path of sin, when not daring to speak out against the falsehoods of this world, when not taking off one's sinful self, when not daring to let God cut away the thorns, the pride, the arrogance, the anger, the discomfort, the hatred, jealousy, envy among the pastors. It is the pastors who have not dared to speak up to defend the truth, defend the truth, defend justice, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to fight against the forces of Satan.

There are priests who do not dare to speak up and tell the truth. Even though they know their superiors or bishops have sinned, they do not dare to tell the truth for fear of losing their power, for wanting to keep their seats. I know of a case where a priest knew exactly how that bishop had sinned but did not dare to speak up and let it fade away. And then this priest himself committed that sin. This will lead to sin from top to bottom, from bishops to priests, to seminarians, to the flock. The consequences from top to bottom follow the temptation of Satan to sin against God.

I know that there are many priests and nuns who are motivated by the Holy Spirit and have recognized the work of God the Father in this new era as the truth, but for fear of losing their honor, their power, for fear of being condemned, persecuted, and excluded by the world, they have not had the courage to profess that faith. That is the imprisonment of Satan's control, the very cunning temptation of Satan that prevents those people from coming to the truth.

Some pastors still lack a sense of sin. These pastors have the thought that God is infinitely merciful, so they keep sinning, then go to confession, and God forgives them again. Is that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Because they sin on purpose, and can they be forgiven for sinning on purpose? The pastors themselves still say such things, then their sheep will follow their example and do the same, just keep sinning and God will forgive all sins, and when they die, they will enjoy happiness in heaven. Therefore, there is no need to try, no need to sacrifice, to mortify oneself. The pastors themselves have that thought and their actions have spoken for it. To set a blind example for their flock.

Then there is the abuse of grace: In the Middle Ages, the hierarchy of the Church fell into a state of simony. Today, the pastoral work of building churches and rectories is splendid, and they have also bought benefactor certificates to enjoy the benefits of Mass, to ensure that they will be reduced in punishment later on. Meanwhile, the pastors do not teach the flock to repent. Just put money in there and continue to live the old life, still committing sins against heaven, then try to ask if you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Because the Kingdom of Heaven is not bought with money but must be full of graces and virtues. There is no amount of money that can buy the price of Jesus Christ's blood. Many priests mistakenly think that the more Masses they ask for, the sooner they will go to Heaven. But it is necessary to consider whether the Mass offered is a sacrifice or whether the pastor and the person asking for the Mass are truly living in a way that pleases God to beg Him to answer. That is the mistake of the pastors towards their flock: when they do not advise the flock to repent of their lives, recognize their sins and resolve to give up their sins, know how to fear and worship God, know how to live in love and do good deeds, know how to leave the path of sin and return to God, but only care about material possessions.

Next, you have neglected the ministry of exorcism and healing: Today, you shepherds have diminished the work that God the Father has entrusted to you, which is to exorcise demons and heal the sick and sinners. A very large pastoral aspect. What do the shepherds of God do? Is it just to offer Mass, read the Liturgy of the Hours, and administer the sacraments when someone asks? What do you do with the rest of your time? Do you close your rooms, surf the web, watch entertainment sites? Some of you think that this is fulfilling the role of a shepherd. You are greatly mistaken, you are falling into Satan's great trap of temptation when you do not cast them out of your flock but spend your time having fun and entertaining yourselves on social media, or through tourist visits here and there that you have let Satan prevail. You have forgotten a very large part of the ministry that God himself left to the apostles of old, which is to cast out demons and heal. Have you cast out demons today? Have you prayed for healing by the laying on of hands? This is a very big loophole that Satan has succeeded in on your very person. And on the very pastoral work of the Church.

Next is the spirit of clericalism: When the shepherds of God do not treat their sheep as a loving, gentle, and merciful father, but treat their sheep as an official, dominating a parish, a region, using their power to yell, to force the sheep to do their will.

Today, some shepherds are breaking the first commandment, which is to worship idols when they bow down to images of other religions, when they recognize that Buddha brings salvation to people. The sanctuary is a sacred place of worship, but the shepherds have turned it into a dance floor, organized a lottery, and the priest himself wears vestments to call the lottery; the grotto is abandoned by God and the Mother, allowing the three gods of fortune, prosperity, and longevity to enter, the pulpit preaches things that do not belong to God....

• Dearly beloved, especially the shepherds of God. What I have just mentioned are things that are very offensive to God. Therefore, God wants me to convey His words to you. These are the words of love that God wants to send to you. May the Holy Spirit work on my lips and on your ears, so that the Word of God may penetrate the depths of your hearts, helping you to recognize your mistakes and return to the infinite mercy of God:

“Today, God the Father wants to warn His shepherds, especially those who are at the head of the flock, to stop disobeying the will of God the Father, to stop resisting Him, by neglecting the sheep, by only taking care of themselves without sacrificing themselves to go out and destroy the demons of Satan who are holding your sheep captive. Be concerned with doing the work of God the Father, which is to cast out demons and heal the sheep, they are being greatly oppressed.

God the Father wants the shepherds today to realize their mistakes, to beat their chests and repent of their sins that have offended God Himself, that have stained and defiled the temple of the Holy Spirit when they are passionate about eating and drinking, passionate about money, material things, and pleasures. Indulging in Satan's temptations to these passions has made Satan gloat over the shepherds of God the Father. O shepherds of God the Father, return to God the Father, do not deviate from the path that Jesus Christ of old walked. Follow Him on the path He walked, carry the cross with Him up Mount Calvary, suffer with Him, and die with Him, to rise again and enjoy glory with Him beside God the Father.

God the Father desires that shepherds emulate Jesus Christ, who sacrificed and relinquished all glory and honor to become human. He integrated with sinners to redeem and guide them back to God the Father. Rescue the sheep ensnared by Satan; bind the wounds of those ravaged by wild beasts. To fulfill this pastoral mission, God the Father urges shepherds to repent for their sins, introspectively examine their souls, and assess if they have renounced and acknowledged their transgressions. Have they transformed themselves into effective instruments for God the Father's use? Are they living in accordance with the pastoral office to which God the Father has called them, or are they still entangled in worldly vanities?

Live in poverty, become impoverished, care, love, and run to the suffering sheep, the sheep in need of food and clothing, the sheep in need of love, the sheep in need of sharing. Welcome them, bend down to bandage their wounds, share your possessions with them, and stop hoarding them in your storehouse. For these riches belong to God, so return them to God by sharing them with the poor. Bend down and wash the feet of your sheep, and always remember that you are placed in the role of shepherd to serve, not to be served.

God the Father wants His shepherds to know how to open their hearts to repent of their sins and to fear God. Always obey Him and return to worship Him alone, the only One. There is no other god but Him. Therefore, O shepherds of God in the world today, do not go to worship any other god, do not burn incense and bow down to any other god, do not encourage any brother or sister to worship any other god, but encourage, advise, and admonish your brothers and sisters to know how to fear God, to know how to return to God and worship Him.

Do not worship any other god, do not worship the god of money, do not worship the god of glory and honor, do not worship material things, do not worship and love the lust of the flesh, but abandon them, wake up and stand up to make peace with God the Father, as David once asked the prophet Nathan to awaken him and beat his chest in repentance for his sins to ask God's forgiveness. Now, God the Father also wants His shepherds to beat their chests and repent of their sins, for they have worshipped the flesh, indulged in lust, indulged in power, wealth, position, and honor. Take care of the flock, work day and night as Jesus once said: "My Father is still working, so I am working too." (Jn 5:17) O shepherds of the Most High God, be willing to sacrifice yourselves to work for God the Father, stop worrying about eating, drinking, and having fun, stop worrying about parties, stop organizing luxurious activities, live a poor and simple life, pay attention to the lost sheep, pay attention to the sheep who are poor, suffering, lonely, and in need of God's mercy. Open your arms and come to them, embrace them, come to them to ask God the Father to heal them, to drive Satan out of their very beings.

O shepherds of God, in order to cast out demons, heal, and preach the Gospel, you yourselves must change your lives, transform yourselves so that the Holy Spirit may work in you, so that you may only speak words of love, so that you may only speak the words of God the Father for your sheep to hear, so that the sheep may have the strength to transform their lives, abandon the path of sin, and Satan may be defeated. You must fast, pray, sacrifice, and make amends for your sins, and be determined to repent of your sins, then you will be able to cast out the demons of Satan in sinners and in the sick. Your hands must be clean so that the Holy Spirit may dwell on your hands, then you may lay your hands and heal those who are sick in body and soul. Examine yourselves to see if you are true shepherds, if you are completely used by God, or if you are still half-hearted. One foot follows the path of Jesus Christ, the other foot walks in the world. Beat your chests in repentance and recognize your sins, stop living in sinful passions, stop living hypocritically, stop living as hired shepherds, but live as true shepherds of Jesus Christ, bringing the flock back, and not letting the wolves come and snatch the sheep. Be brave to stand up and change your life, seek and open your heart to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and believe in the words that God the Father teaches under the activity of the Holy Spirit through the eternal Word of God and the Word of God in reality.

The Holy Spirit is at work in the work of God the Father in this new era. The Holy Spirit is working on the Archangel Michael to write the Word of God in reality. The Holy Spirit works on you, those in the Army of Light. But the very shepherds of God the Father do not recognize the work of the Holy Spirit. Look at the fruits of those who work for God the Father in this new era, and you will see the power of the Holy Spirit at work here. Then when the day comes to appear before God the Father, you will have to answer before God the Father. Then God the Father will say to you: you have denied the work of the Holy Spirit, you have denied the graces that God the Father has given to your brothers and sisters. Moreover, you have condemned, tried to suppress, tried to oppose, tried to eliminate, and prevented people from receiving the grace of the Holy Spirit right at the work of God the Father. Today, God the Father calls on the shepherds who are against His work, wake up! Do not resist the graces and power of the Holy Spirit in this new era, lest on that day you will be judged and cast out of the love of God the Father.”

These are the loving messages of God for His shepherds.

• Văn Anh: Dear Father, besides priests, I also see religious orders. What does God want us to know about them? Father Martino, please share more with everyone.

Father Martino: Regarding religious orders, God the Father sees that many of them today have fallen into depravity. When entering the vocation of Consecrated Life in a religious community, they forget their main purpose, which is to seek the Kingdom of Heaven, to accumulate the treasures of the Kingdom of Heaven, which are good deeds and virtues, to live the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Instead, they are only concerned with enriching themselves, accumulating material possessions to fill their communities and their orders. They only perform their duties perfunctorily, just to finish the hour, to follow the rules, forgetting that their souls and bodies must be entirely dedicated to God the Father. They even seek ways to gain material benefits for their religious communities, instead of enriching themselves with the treasures of Heaven before God by amending their behavior, abandoning their sins to become perfect before God the Father, according to His call: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Worry about accumulating the treasures of the Kingdom of Heaven by saving souls for God the Father, instead of just accumulating for yourselves.

And to this day, contemplative and cloistered religious communities have significantly reduced their prayer time with God the Father. Some communities even combine several hours of prayer into one reading to avoid waking up at night, prioritizing their health over spending time with God the Father. They do not sacrifice, fast, and do penance, yet they still compare, calculate gains and losses, envy, and are jealous within the religious community. These are the worldly passions of Satan that have crept into that very religious community. Now, God the Father calls His children in Consecrated Life to bravely stand up and abandon the path of sin, to reform their lives, to fast and pray, to renounce worldly passions and pleasures. Pray and contemplate with God the Father even more so that He may give you the strength to change yourselves, to convert your lives, to be humble, to lower yourselves, to love and forgive. Always be simple and little to please God the Father right here on earth, everywhere and at all times. Ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to open your hearts to receive the work of God the Father that is active in this world. Come to Him so that He may drive away Satan, who has been clinging to you for so long, so that you may recognize the light of God. Only then will you be able to hear the teachings of God and put them into practice.

The pursuit of power, fame, material possessions, and wealth has become rampant within religious orders. Therefore, religious orders must wake up and return to God the Father. Look back at the essence of your religious life in Consecrated Life, dedicate yourselves to God the Father, strive to enrich yourselves with the treasures of Heaven before God the Father by living as witnesses of God through the Eight Beatitudes, return to the fruits of the Holy Spirit, learn about and run to the gifts of the Holy Spirit at the House of God the Father. Run to the male and female servants of God the Father in this new era. And run to the Angels of God the Father so that these people, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, will support and help you escape from Satan's captivity, eliminate them so that you can listen to what God the Father teaches. Otherwise, you will continue to live under the concealment of Satan within your bodies. Abandon the path of worldly glory and honor and seek the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the true happiness for mankind.

Today, in both male and female religious communities, there exists the situation of homosexuality. Satan succeeds greatly over these individuals because they have not repented for their sins before God the Father, because they do not know how to sacrifice, mortify themselves, practice abstinence, fast, pray, and make amends. How did the saints of old sacrifice, fast, pray, and mortify themselves to overcome the passions of lust and defeat Satan? Let us ask, how many priests and religious men and women today sacrifice, mortify themselves, practice abstinence, fast, and pray constantly to God the Father to recognize their sins and resist the temptations of Satan?

Without fasting, sacrifice, mortification, atonement, and constant prayer to recognize Satan's actions, it is impossible to overcome him. He will lead you into sinful passions and lust, so God the Father calls upon his priests and religious to run to His work in this new era, the time of the Holy Spirit's activity. It is God who will drive Satan out of you. It is God who will come to renew your souls, so that Satan must disappear, so that Satan must step out of you when you recognize the light and love of God, when you are determined to abandon the path of sin, when you are determined to recognize sin, when you are determined to live and act according to what God the Father teaches, which is to fear and obey His will and repent of your sins.

• Dear everyone, this concludes my sharing. I apologize to the Fathers and brother priests for speaking so strongly about this matter. However, this is the truth that God wants me to speak out about, like an alarm bell for the Church to awaken to the insidious plots of Satan, who is constantly trying to destroy the Church, the place of those chosen by God. I bid you farewell.

Văn Anh: Thank you, Father Martino, for informing us about the current state of the elite within the Church today. This is a very sad reality. I think God and Mother Mary must be heartbroken about this. If only these individuals would open their hearts to respond to God's call to repentance and return to Him. To continue Father Martino's sharing, God wants Father Đaminh to raise the issue with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding the aforementioned situations, and once again affirm his belief in the work of the Holy Spirit in this new era. Now, I would like to invite Father Đaminh to share.

• Father Đaminh's sharing.

What does the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith say?

Your Excellencies, Reverend Fathers, Reverend Brothers and Sisters, and dear audience seeking truth. What Father Martino just shared has raised some questions in me:

- Is the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith aware of the fact that the majority of pastors today are more focused on self-indulgence than service?

- When many pastors preach a distorted Gospel, does the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith say anything?

- Specifically, when Bishop Emmanuel Nguyễn Hong Son stated that "Buddha brings salvation to humanity," it caused opposition from many Catholics and outrage from many others. How did the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith explain this?

- When some priests turn the house of God into a place for organizing games and entertainment, how does the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith explain this?

- The pulpit is where the pastor, representing Jesus Christ, proclaims the Gospel, shares the good news of God's salvation, guides the people of God on the path to holiness, teaches about the examples of the saints... Yet, some pastors exploit it to scold parishioners, to assert their authority, or to praise an ordinary person as a saint. So, I ask, does the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have any solutions to help their brothers recognize these serious mistakes and weaknesses?

Yes, those are my personal concerns, as well as the anxieties of many people regarding the mistakes of pastors and religious in today's world. Therefore, I earnestly hope that the Church, as well as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, will seek to understand the work of God the Father, because this is truly a work that comes from God, without any falsehood. Once again, I want to affirm this, because I am the one who lives here, witnessing every day the miracles that the Holy Spirit is performing.

To know the truth, please come and observe what is happening here, and you will see how the Angel Raphael and we work day and night, and under whose direction we operate. And you will see that everything we do is out of love for God and neighbor.

What God the Father has said is not hidden but is always brought to light for all to see. God wants us to present to everyone, especially the pastors of God the Father, everything that has happened and is happening here. The teachings that God the Father gives us every day through the writing of the Angel Raphael, through his use of demons to work, through the visions of brothers and sisters who have received special graces. For example, I can share how God teaches us to prepare homilies for Mass. God has had the demon speak for three years, providing all the daily Gospel readings. God calls them "God's Word for Everyone" - broadcast on the "Road to Heaven" channel every day during the 3 p.m. prayer time. These are all reflections that closely follow the daily Gospel readings, teachings that do not deviate from the teachings of Jesus and the Apostolic Church.

To see that it is the Holy Spirit who has come in this age to help people understand more about the Word of Jesus Christ, and to reveal more about the things that Jesus did not say, "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now," now, the Word of God realized through the handwriting of the Angel Raphael is the Word of the Holy Spirit in this age to help people live and do what God the Father teaches, in order to lead people to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth.

I ask you to look back and consider all that the work of the House of God the Father has done and said, then you will understand why the more the House of God the Father is condemned and forbidden, the more boldly and courageously it speaks out, speaking all that God teaches, we really do not hide anything. Why is that? Is it not clear evidence of the age of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit at work in small, weak and sinful people, simple people, who do whatever the Holy Spirit tells them to do, without question, without calculation. Because they understand that this obedience is true and beneficial to souls, and they believe that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, no force can destroy it. For if "we were silent, the very stones would cry out!" (cf. Lk 19:40).

With respect to the Local Ordinary of the Diocese of Da Lat and the Commission for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church of Vietnam,

Many times God has given us, small people, the first calls of this work to come to you to beg you to "Come and see," but the response has been indifference, rejection, and then condemnation and exclusion. God let us know that Satan has covered your ears and blindfolded you so that you do not understand this work correctly, which is why you have tried everything to extinguish the House of God the Father and prevent those who believe in this place.

One thing that people cannot imagine is that the more the House of God the Father is condemned and excluded, the stronger the spirit of the Holy Spirit becomes on those chosen by God the Father. They love more, sacrifice more, and thanks to that, dear dignitaries, recently God let us know that there are many fallen angels asking to return, a series of Seraphim, gods, managers, demons of all kinds of names, in turn, asking God for forgiveness, to return to serve Him, and know how many souls have been blessed to enjoy happiness with God. That is the joy of us, those who are determined to sacrifice ourselves day and night, and also the joy of the entire Heavenly Court, all creatures on this earth.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, You are Water, Wind, the Fire of love, absolute beauty. The more the fire is extinguished, the more the flame flares up, burning away all filth, breaking down doubt, and I believe that one day, the Holy Fire will touch the hearts of the shepherds who do not yet believe and oppose the work of the House of God the Father.

Why do I dare to affirm that? Dear dignitaries, in this house, every incident, every event that happens in the local Church as well as in the universe, is every time God lets Satan come to tell how their plots have tempted the leaders in the Church. And the Army of Light, the chosen ones, had to sacrifice themselves to ask God to subdue the demons, the specific sacrifice is that God wants us to be determined to repent of our sins, to live more humbly, to be smaller, to work harder, to pray more, and especially to endure the pain of tearing flesh when demons attack the body.

I myself have to endure the clinging torture of demons that makes my whole body ache, but I rejoice in receiving it, because I understand that suffering is beneficial for souls. Because indeed, after each time of suffering, God lets me know how many demons, how many souls He has saved! I thank God infinitely, because this great work has given me that deep, deep joy. Therefore, at the retirement age of 75, although there are many times when I have to stay up all night with intense demon fights to be determined to live each virtue, determined to get rid of each bad habit, especially my hot temper, determined to destroy myself, having no value in front of everyone... But I am still happy, the joy, the happiness that fills me no one can take away.

Dear everyone,

The work of the House of God the Father, is operating under the influence of the Holy Spirit, making people convert and change their lives to return to God. And today, when we make these videos, it is not our purpose to denounce but to speak out about the work of God the Father that is going on in the heart of the Church and operating under the influence of the Holy Spirit. We do not aim to divide but for unity, not to go astray from the faith but to protect the truth of the faith of the Holy Church that Jesus Christ established.

Once again, we earnestly invite the Committee for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church of Vietnam, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Universal Church, and all people around the world to come to the work of God the Father. Here, the Holy Spirit will remind us of what Jesus Christ taught in the past, and will reveal new things. And the first new thing that the Holy Spirit reveals to mankind in this age is that when He uses the Archangel Michael to write the Word of God the Father under the influence of the Holy Spirit; when He grants to the Satans, the demons, His grace, His light to speak the Word of God the Father for all mankind to know; when He uses the male and female servants of God the Father to become prophets to speak the Word of God the Father.

And to be used by God for the devil to speak the Word of God the Father, these people themselves are also moved by the Holy Spirit to be transformed and converted, to become pure and bright, to have no heart, to avoid all occasions of sin, to fear God and to love one's neighbor with all one's soul and all one's mind, then they will become powerful instruments of the Holy Spirit in His work.

Therefore, I hope that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith or those who are condemning the work of God the Father during the time of the Holy Spirit's activity, do not make the same mistake as the Jewish people or the leaders who condemned Jesus Christ, who crucified Him without carefully examining, without opening their hearts to receive, to listen to the Word of Jesus Christ taught. Please do not make that mistake again, do not rush to condemn this work before carefully examining it in simplicity, humility and with a desire to seek the Truth, to be led by the Holy Spirit to the whole truth, that is to be aware of the whole truth of this work is how?

Today, I say this strongly because I see that God is very sorry for the sheep who are lost, who are being controlled by Satan and are living in the suffering of sin. When they have received the work of God with simple faith and changed their lives by living according to the words God has taught, they are condemned, judged and excluded by the very shepherds of God. I wonder if the priests who are doing this are living the true spirit of a shepherd?

That is what I share to ask you, bishops, priests and religious men and women to look back at your lives and recognize the work of the Holy Spirit that is taking place right here on earth so that you may be converted and transformed by the Holy Spirit Himself. I sincerely thank you for listening to me share. I would like to greet you.

Van Anh (After Father Dominic shared)

Thank you, Father Dominic.

Dearly beloved,

In the face of the current situation and the transgressions of priests, as well as of men and women religious in the Church today, as Father Martino just presented, God the Father has chosen Father Dominic to offer words of contrition to atone to God the Father on behalf of the ranks of priests as well as all humanity. Now, I invite you to a moment of silence to reflect, to acknowledge our sins that have offended God and our neighbors, and to unite with Father Dominic in offering this act of contrition to God the Father, asking for His forgiveness.

Father Dominic prays.

Dear God the Father, I thank you because today, you have given me the grace to repent of my sins, particularly those common to us priests.

You have loved and called me into Your work while I was a sinful priest. You have forgiven all my sins, pruned my thorns, transformed my soul, given me the strength to abandon my vices, and granted me joy, peace, and complete happiness in Your heart.

Now, before Your Holy Face, I bow my head to confess my own sins, as well as those common to my brother priests.

Father,

+ In my relationship with You:

I have not feared You above all else. Therefore, throughout my life as a priest, I have lived in pride and arrogance. When You blessed me with the ability to manage the parish well, build many facilities, organize catechism classes for all ages, conduct activities for associations, and share joys and sorrows with parishioners in their lives, I became arrogant and complacent, thinking that these achievements were due to my own abilities, not Your gifts. Many times, I forgot to glorify Your name and instead sought my own glory, polishing my reputation with outward appearances while lacking inner substance.

Precisely because I have not believed what I read and have not lived what I teach, this sin has led to many others.

I have carelessly used the authority You bestowed upon me to act arrogantly towards parishioners, forgetting that You are the one who controls everything, and I am but a useless servant.

I have used the grace You granted me to enhance my own prestige, to profit myself, to make my name known while Yours was obscured.

+ Regarding myself:

I have ruined the body You gave me with unhealthy vices such as smoking, indulging in alcohol, overeating, and drinking excessively, deluding myself into thinking these were necessary for social and pastoral work. I have let these vices control my behavior, setting a bad example for the flock You entrusted to me. These vices have caused me to lose control of myself, making me short-tempered and harsh with parishioners instead of being gentle and humble like You, who are gentle and humble.

I have used the resources You provided me with extravagance, such as in my use of vehicles, phones, etc., and I have used them to sin. I have not been vigilant and have allowed myself to be entangled in unhealthy relationships. I have indulged in browsing the internet and consuming news not for pastoral needs but to the point of committing sins of lust in thought, word, and deed, staining the soul that You consecrated on the day of my ordination.

During parish and association meetings, I have focused only on outward appearances to satisfy my desire for food and drink or to relieve stress, forgetting the true purpose of bringing lost souls back to You, just as Your Son, Jesus, dined with sinners to bring them back to You.

I have not wholeheartedly followed in your footsteps, Father, in living a life of poverty and simplicity. Instead, I have indulged in a life of comfort. The love and care of the parishioners, who have generously provided me with material possessions, food, and drink, have led me to become self-absorbed, concerned only with my own well-being, getting enough sleep, my health, my future, and so on. As a result, I have not fully dedicated myself to serving your flock according to your will.

Moreover, regarding others, I have failed to fulfill the duty you entrusted to me, Father, to bring many souls to you. This is due to the negative examples I have set through my sins. In my pride, I have sought perfection, demanding obedience from the parishioners, wanting them to follow my will instead of yours.

My irritability and frustration have tarnished the image of a good shepherd within me. I have looked down upon my fellow parishioners. There have been times when I have used the pulpit to assert my authority, to impose my will upon them. I have even scolded your sheep to satisfy my own anger, instead of preaching your Word. Lacking humility and self-abasement, I have rarely dared to apologize to the parishioners.

I have been lazy, desiring to be served rather than to serve.

I have been caught up in the trends of the times, the stories circulating online, and social issues. I have brought these matters to the pulpit to attract attention, to satisfy the fleeting amusement of the parishioners, to glorify myself while overshadowing your glory, Father.

I have shown favoritism among the parishioners, frequenting the wealthy more than the poor. A good shepherd must always love and seek out the lost, the lowly, the weak, the sick, and the suffering. However, I have done the opposite, and this has caused harm to many souls that you entrusted to my care.

Father, these are also the sins that we, your priests, have committed against You today. Now, we humbly ask for Your forgiveness. Allow me, on behalf of all priests worldwide, to express our remorse to You. We apologize for the times we have used the pulpit to satisfy our pride, fame, and personal gain, instead of proclaiming Your words of love, the power of Your Word in the Scriptures and Tradition.

We apologize for the current state of priests, which has caused You pain: Power, fame, passions, luxurious living, especially the lust fueled by the use of stimulants like alcohol, watching inappropriate films, leading to indulgence in desires that contradict Your expectations for us. As a result, we have been controlled by Satan through witchcraft. Many priests are victims of love spells, a form of erotic magic that plunges them into sinful lust, unable to escape. I apologize for emphasizing this sin, as its consequences are significant, and the opportunities to commit it are abundant. The perpetrators have many opportunities due to their work and location. Accomplices are also easily tempted, as a simple text message or phone call can arrange everything. And once they have sinned, they try to cover it up, and because of their duty to perform their ministry, they do not have time to receive the sacrament of reconciliation, causing countless sacrileges. Thus, every day, countless Masses are offered by impure souls and unclean hands. This does not please You and does not benefit souls, so punishment falls upon us. Father, forgive us. Have mercy on Your priests. Have mercy on Your Church. Do not look upon our sins, but upon our frailty, upon the souls of our brother priests who are suffering because of their infidelity to the promises made on the day of their ordination. We ask You to open the hearts of priests so that they may recognize their sins and quickly return to You. Please preserve the Catholic faith in its purity, as it was in the beginning when You established it. Keep Your priests close to Your Sacred Heart.

Please protect Your Church, which is under the control of Satanic forces and their allies. Renew Your ranks of priests, for in the midst of the trend of secularization, the so-called elegance and sophistication, priests do not boast of virtue but of cars and material possessions. It is this very depravity that makes their souls writhe in agony under Satan's control, wanting to break free but unable to.

Therefore, Father, You have ushered in a new era to gather all Your children into one flock. We praise and thank You for Your love and for choosing and calling us, for opening our hearts to receive Your work in this new era, so that we may be transformed, recognize our transgressions. Now, we ask You to also have mercy on the priests and on Your Church.

Please illuminate the path for the hierarchy of the Church so that they too may see Your grace in this new era and recognize the truth of this work as coming from You. May they lead the flock on the path You have set for us from the beginning, the path of Jesus Christ, the way of the cross, to bring souls back to You, to build together a complete Faith in Your Holy Spirit.

Now, we implore You to have mercy on sinful humanity! Please preserve the faith of those who are walking in this work. Grant them Your Holy Spirit and strength so that they may resolutely live according to Your teachings and bear witness to You in this new era. Through them, may the Church recognize the truth that comes from You, that it is the Holy Spirit who transforms and sanctifies, who illuminates and perfects the work of Redemption of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen!

After Father Đaminh finished his prayer: Father Đaminh's prayer of repentance and thanksgiving concluded the priests' sharing session. And I thank God for allowing me to meet you in these sharing sessions. Through the times of contact and sharing with you, I realize that you are living witnesses who are following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, the true shepherd. And when you bravely seek the truth, and live the truth, you are ostracized, rejected, condemned, and accused by your fellow priests. However, you still do not back down, but always bravely and boldly bear witness to the work of God the Father and proclaim this new era, so that souls who are going astray from the direction of God the Father may receive the grace to return to God the Father, to receive the blessing of the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth, which is to live in peace and happiness. You are the people chosen by God in this new era.

I sincerely thank you and wish you all the best in bravely and boldly bearing witness to the love of God the Father, and bringing many souls back to God the Father.

Jesus, I trust in You
