Pope St. Gregory the Great

TAKEN with the author’s permission from the forthcoming book, PLANNEDemic – The Great Pandemic Farce of 2020, by Hugh Akins [Check www.ca-rc.com for availability]:

Catholics, Christians and patriots are well advised to contemplate the heroic and effective action taken by Pope Saint Gregory the Great, who in the Year of Our Lord 591, faced a pestilence that took many lives, even the life of his predecessor on the Chair of Peter a year earlier.

Saint Gregory certainly did not tell his large flock to cease attending public Masses, to stop exercising the virtues of faith, hope and charity, to quarantine themselves in their homes, to avoid all contact with those stricken with the plague, to practice social distancing, to comply with every despotic mandate to come down from godless authorities bent on the destruction of Christianity.  No! The Saint and Vicar of Christ called for the entire city of Rome to assemble for a large public procession to beg God’s protection and healing.    

President Trump, the CDC, Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo of New York, and practically every other governor today would have had the Saint arrested for violating their sinister Police State lockdown orders!

Pope Saint Gregory the Great would still not have budged, as today’s popes and bishops have done, and even many traditional pastors, closing the doors of their churches like so many cowards and traitors. [Editor: St. Gregory also did not reject the Catholic faith.]

 No, not he, the true man of God that he was.  

“On that day the faithful…walked through the streets of the city praying and singing… The plague was so potent at that time that 80 people collapsed and died as they walked…

“Pope Saint Gregory met them upon their arrival [at the church of Saint Mary Major], joining them in prayer as he took his place with them holding aloft the miraculous image of Our Lady painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist.  As the procession neared the Vatican the participants all saw Saint Michael the Archangel standing upon the cupola of Hadrian’s mausoleum as he sheathed his flaming sword.  It was a sign that the chastisement had come to an end, and at once the heaviness in the air abated and the air itself seemed to freshen and clear.

“Indeed, at that moment the plague ended as the faithful rejoiced and lifted up their voices to thank the Mother of God.”

I have read that the sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France is closed due to the pandemic. The healing waters of Our Holy Mother are now unavailable to the faithful suffering illness for fear of catching a virus.

Fortunately, the Mother of God will never obey the lockdown orders of tyrants.

Her Immaculate Heart beats in time with those who suffer and will shed its graces on all those who sincerely ask for them. I think  of those who are suffering not just from illness but from extreme loneliness and anxiety.
