7 Woes... Mt 23 (2nd. Part: Mt 23,13-24)
Gehenna was a place outside the city of Jerusalem where garbage, dead animals, etc. were thrown away. All of that gave a very bad smell and people burned all that, giving other foul-smelling fumes, the fire was always burning there in various places. It is a comparison that Jesus uses to indicate hell.
--
Here Jesus begins to cry out the 7 "woes" against the scribes and Pharisees because:
1) They closed the Kingdom of Heaven before men. The hierarchy of the Jews, most of the time persecuted ALL the prophets and killed the major prophets. The Pharisees attacked the people God chose to speak to us on His behalf, and they wouldn't let the people follow those prophets, they didn’t help them to follow God, just the contrary.
--
They did this because they did not follow God, but they were stupidly waging war on Him. They still teach today the opposite of God's law, today the Jews think that there is no need to fulfill the 10 Commandments, that they will resurrect holy and perfect because they are children of Abraham. That is a lie taught to them by their father the devil, whom they chose to please and obey, whom they chose as their spiritual father, they love to lie.
--
They do not want to seek God to understand the Truth: that God is Just and loves justice and does not betray Himself. The God cast our of heaven the disobedient angels; Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise because of their disobedience; the three individuals who opposed Moses God brought them alive into the fire of the abyss, they and their families and followers; those who mortally disobey Jesus Christ, who is the True Messiah, and die without confession, God sends them into eternal fire. Jesus is the One who introduces us to the eternal happiness of Heaven IF WE CONTINUE TO OBEY HIM. The Jews, having a whole history of punishments from God, because they disobeyed God almost all the time, they don't understand anything and think that there will be a kind of general forgiveness in the resurrection of the dead, where they are going to be "the superior." That "reset" will not exist. God is just and rewards the good and punishes the bad. He is righteous and does not betray Himself. The adult Jews who came out of Egypt, and murmured against God even though they were about to enter the Promised Land, died without being able to enter that Land and died with a curse, for God said in Psalm 94:11:
Do not harden your hearts as in Meribah, as on the day of Massa in the desert, when your ancestors tempted Me, testing Me, even though they had seen My work. I felt boredom for forty years by that scoundrel, and I said: "They are a people who have a wrong heart and they have not known my ways; therefore I swore in my anger: They will never enter into My rest."
--
Today the Satanists who govern the world want to make a kind of "reset" where they keep all the power, even keeping for themselves our properties and savings, where the justice that was learned from God in the Holy Tradition of the Church no longer rules. The wicked always want to "wipe the slate clean". But God is going to punish the world and purify the Church and the whole planet, terribly. So obey Our Lady of Roses (www.tldm.org) to be protected in the terrible decades to come and be guided by the One Way to Heaven.

• [Concerning the death of the prophets: ^^ Isaiah was sawn off, Jeremiah beaten and imprisoned [and we know from tradition that he was killed by the Jews themselves who forced him to accompany them to Egypt], Ezekiel killed, Micah thrown off the cliff, Amos beaten to death, and Zechariah stoned.^^
--
2) Jesus also reproaches the Pharisees who taught people to swear falsely to deceive the good faith of others. If someone decent, upright-minded heard someone swearing by Temple, he would think that the other was swearing in truth, since the Temple was sacred. But the Pharisees taught that the Temple or the Altar were nothing and only the offering or treasure of the Temple mattered. They were materialistic, they loved matter, money more than God, Whom they did not respect. Today, the race of vipers, which Isaiah denounced, still love money and power and have sex between their eyebrows since childhood.
We had already read in the Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew that the Pharisees taught to break the 4th Commandment as long as the money that was going to be used to care for elderly parents was destined to the Temple. Horrible.
THEY DESPISE THE SACRED THINGS AND LOVE GOD GIVES AND LOOK FOR WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER.
--
3) In this chapter we see that the Pharisees and scribes teach tithing of everything, even things that grow on their own effortlessly, such as mint, or that have little value, such as cumin, while they taught to swear falsely (betraying the eighth commandment). They strain the mosquito (10% of the cumin) and swallow the camel (eternal damnation for betraying the 10 Commandments and on top of that, because they teach others to betray the Commandmentes, which is a mortal aggravating factor). St. Francis of Assisi taught that he who betrays one of the 10 Commandments betrays them all.
--
Jesus teaches that the most important thing is just judgment, mercy and good faith and that the rest (tithing, etc.) should not be neglected.
Righteous judgment is to reason by thinking what is pleasing to God, therefore to do what pleases Him.
--
And of course the things of God (His Presence in His House, His Word, His Laws...) are more important than the things of the world (money, power, etc.) since serving money gives you nothing but emptiness, which leads people to try to fill themselves with more money, power, sex, to sink into more mortal sins and they cannot get out of that dark hole except with prayers and sacrifices of others in state of grace. They get sick and die like everyone else, but they go headlong into hell. On the other hand, those who serve God and not money, many times in their lives feel that God miraculously saved them, and they have peace inside (that peace that others desperately try to have and cannot get, ever) and the faithful to Jesus have the joy that Jesus is risen and loves us and gives us everything we need to go to Heaven.
-----
Unfortunately, the grave sins that Jesus denounces in this Gospel passage have been very current in the Church since the Second Vatican Council.
--
For example, it is written in Ecclesiasticus 9:2: "Do not give your will to a woman, letting her rule over you."
But the Word of God is being despised and the worldly is loved. This Pope, Leo XIV, whom his close associates call Francis 2.0 (after the antipope Francis), appoints women to important positions in the Vatican hierarchy. This is bad judgment, it is going against God's will. These women are in positions, such as the one in charge of the Dicastery for Consecrated Life... they are in positions where men (eg. monks) will have to see them as representing the authority of Jesus Christ. And that's very wrong. THE TEACHING OF GOD IS BEING DESPISED BY THE FEMINIST (SATANIST) CURRENTS OF THE WORLD. And worse, Leo XIV is appointing to hierarchical positions in the Vatican people who do not fight homosexuality, but the opposite... and we know from the Bible that homosexuality brings the wrath of God, that He punishes that with destruction... But we must always stay in the Church, Jesus Christ works miracles for His faithful, His Grace abounds in the worst moments. We must never leave the Catholic Church or we will not get to Heaven.
--
Holy Tradition discerned with just judgment and for example commanded: no woman near the altar. Other healthy things that she (the Church) also commanded were, for example, that only priests could give Communion in a church. Now there are women near the altar, giving Communion (remember never to receive Communion from the hands of anyone other than a duly ordained priest, and always in the mouth), some women carry the Hosts to the Tabernacle... And that's all bad judgment. THEY ARE DESPISING THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST FOR A "DEMOCRATIZATION" OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THAT IS, BY FOLLOWING THE WORLD, WHICH FOLLOWS SATAN.
------
And the other things, e.g. tithing, must not be neglected because they are very important to us, like every Word that comes out of the mouth of God, Who does not change. His laws are eternal. e.g. in the Old Testament (Haggai, all chapter 1) God told the people to bring the tithe and the firstfruits back to His House and they will see how the barns were going to fill up (the people had neglected to give God the firstfruits and the tithe and ended up working and sowing much and harvesting little).
In the past, the Church ordered tithes to be given and there were many religious orders doing many good works: orphanages, schools, homes for the elderly, hospitals... all free and of good quality. Now people do not give a tenth of what they earn and those armies of charity that also fought the demons with their penances and prayers were coming to an end. And it turns out that now people work like animals, both outside the house, and most of them can't save to buy a house and the worst thing is that the children don't get what they need: their mother's love all day at home for them. THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN DESPISED AND NOW EVERYONE IS SUFFERING FROM SHORTAGES: THE CHURCH, THE CHILDREN, THE FAMILIES.
--
We read news all this year about people over 30 years old who live at the home of their parents because they cannot buy an apartment. This came out yesterday: July 1, 2026: ^^Not even having a full-time job today guarantees access to housing. That is the reality of Manuel H., a warehouse worker who works eight hours a day, earns 1,200 euros a month and, even so, sleeps on the street (...) And from Caritas [Spain] they are already warning that this is an increasingly frequent reality.^^ And the worst thing is that when the young adults have a job and a house, those houses are not big enough to house the parents and take care of them in old age, because, among other things, the mother of the family is working outside, and the family is separated and the elderly suffering loneliness in nursing homes, which hurts them a lot. Once I saw the TV out of the corner of my eye and they asked some old people what they wanted as a gift for the Feast of the 3 wise men, some named childhood toys, but one said: "to be with the family".
--
Since people have not tithed for many years, things are going to get worse. There is already talk that in 2029 the "digital euro" will be implemented, where people will no longer own even their savings, which will have “date expire”. When tithing is not given, God punishes with misery.
--
Now, instead of tithing for God, taxes are given to governments of countries that do not seek to serve God but have given themselves over to satan and increasingly promote the culture of death. GOD IS DESPISED AND THE WAYS OF THE DEVIL'S SLAVERY ARE FOLLOWED. An example: in the past, hospitals were free, managed by monks and nuns, then public hospitals of the State took their place, but already in Argentina there is talk that people, in addition to paying taxes... pay for care in hospitals, and that those who use them the most, are the ones who pay the most!! That means that the most helpless, the sickest and those with the most difficulty in working are the ones who pay the most!!! Horrible, because taxes are for society to help the most vulnerable, to have a healthy and humane society. Without going to the extremes that the lazy benefit without studying or working. But it is clear that having rejected the teachings of Holy Tradition, everything rots: souls, peace, society... because we were designed by God and we only have a full life if we love and obey Him.
--
The contempt for God is now general, outside and inside the Church, in many churches the Tabernacle was removed from the main place and placed on a side or in a small chapel inside the church, where almost no one goes, because most of those who are in the Church are a race of vipers posing as Catholics.
--------
Now, as before, they are despising God and loving money. They put the Tabernacle in a side place and look for money, more and more desperately, until there are parishes that sell things inside the Church, I don't say in the atrium (the front courtyard), but inside the Temple, because they are greedy for money... They say that it is for "evangelization" but in the past God was respected and there was all the money that was needed. They are increasingly desperate for money, because God does not bless those who betray Him. And they do more and more offenses in search of the money they covet so much, but I have seen that the parishes that remain faithful to God, they are filled with people who give enough to support dozens of poor people eating every day. But as the rottenness is advancing, now that it is known from the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses that the Holy Spirit should not be invoked directly because so demons are being forcibly called upon themselves... someone made a certain parish where there were many faithful, now begin to invoke the H. Spirit directly over them before each of the Rosaries that they pray there daily... and now there are bad priests in that parrish, and people started to stop going... there are no longer even half the people there were 5 years ago. It seems that the priests and bishops do not understand the basics: OBEDIENCE TO GOD = SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL BLESSINGS.

Something very tragic happened on June 24, 2026—St. John the Baptist’s Day. There was an earthquake in Venezuela, in the La Guaira area. As of today (nearly 10 days aprox.), nearly 1,500 people have died and more than 3,000 have been injured. The problem is that La Guaira—where the earthquake struck most heavily—and the surrounding areas are located at the junction of the Caribbean and South American tectonic plates, making them highly seismically active zones. Since the 1960s, buildings, homes, and other structures have been constructed with seismic-resistant engineering in many countries around the world. But in La Guaira, where there were many buildings for wealthy people, they were not built using that technology. Since the builders were going to sell them at high prices, complete with all the modern luxuries, they should have made them safe as well. They should have loved themselves and the buyers. I suppose that when buyers saw how modern and beautiful the buildings were, they assumed they were built safely; I suppose they bought them “in good faith.” But those scoundrels were only out to make more money and didn’t invest in making the buildings safe. Once again, the lovers of money—who thereby betray God—betrayed the good faith of the people, who thought everything was fine. And on top of that, the saying “neither do they enter nor do they let others enter” comes true since they should have devoted all their resources to pulling the victims from under the rubble, but there were “more soldiers with guns than shovels,” and on top of that, they didn’t let many of volunteers arriving from other countries go in to help. They neither did the good deeds they should have done nor let others do them. Nor did they have just judgment: to think and act pleasing to God, since He commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves (Leviticus 19:18).This is happening because Venezuela spent many years voting for a socialist leader (socialism is satanism), then for his successor, and is now dominated by Russia, China (communists, atheists), and Iran (muslims, infidels)—and atheists, infidels, heretics, and the scandalous serve the devil and not God.
--
THEY ALSO BETRAYED RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, judging and acting pleasing to God, SINCE THEY WERE TO LOVE THEMSELVES AND THEIR NEIGHBOR as God taught in Lev. 19:18
--
What happened in Venezuela was an example that we should not remain calm in our countries when the rulers do not fear God. We must do a lot of prayer and sacrifice, etc., and consider the possibility of going to a better country. But now they are all so rotten, and in the near future things will be so worse, that the Chastisement is coming upon the whole world and there will be nowhere to flee except to be under the mantle of protection of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers (obey Her to be protected during the Chastisement that God is going to send and to be able to reach Heaven one day).
In the past, Lot's family was evacuated from homosexual Sodom before its destruction. The Holy Family had to flee Bethlehem because there was a murderous Jewish king who killed his own children, the good Jews, and on top of that, that murderer and lover of power wanted to kill Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Through Jeremiah God told the people of Jerusalem to leave Jerusalem and surrender, but they did not listen to Him. In the Apocalypse we read that God's people are asked to come out of Babylon so as not to be complicit in its sins. And Jesus Christ, God, taught us that:
Mk 13,14 "And when you see the abomination of desolation being where it ought not to be, let him who reads understand, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and whoever is on the housetop shall not come down or go in to take anything from his house, and let him who has gone into the field not turn back to take his cloak.”
--
And so it is nowadays, most people despise God and go after the things of the world, to their own misfortune.
--------
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders, because you surround the sea and the land for the sake of making a proselyte, and when he is a proselyte, you make him a son of gehena, double more than you."
--
The Bible is one book: the OT and the NT are inspired by the same one God (The Gospels are the life of Jesus Christ on Earth, which if it were written in detail all the things Jesus, God the Son, did, St. John says that not all the books on Earth would be enough) in the OT God tells the prophet Daniel that wickedness will increase. And we see by whom, by those people who teach their disciples to be more traitors to God than themselves and now dare in the Church to teach and act contrary to Holy Tradition, the faithful Faith that the Church has always had.
--
And here is another example of why Holy Religion is more important than everything material, and how we must obey God to have peace and good:
Even in 1972 the Pope Paul VI chose a Freemason to choose all the bishops of the Church (Freemasons are riffraff who recruit people all over the world offering them work and as they enter more into the organization they end up selling their souls to the devil and that organization ends up controlling large companies, governments, etc. all over the world). The individual Freemason in the Vatican chose the worst individuals he could find for bishops and so is the Church now, betraying the teachings of Jesus Christ who is God. The Freemason was working for the devil until 1984. And as that demonic work left its aftermath in the Church, God gave us signs in the world that something is very wrong: 1984, abortion was approved in Spain; 1994, the Apparitions of Our Lady of the Roses to Veronica ended; 2004, China bought Argentina and had its Tsunami (all of Southeast Asia, up to India, 300,000 dead, on Christmas Sunday); 2014, a year after Antipope Francis was elected, Russia began attacking Ukraine... ; 2024… you will tell me, there is so much that has happened since Benedict XVI was elected pope that the dramas are annual (Pope Benedict XVI had on his coat of arms the "crowned Ethiopian", which is "the crowned devil", but we have Jesus Christ as king).
-------
Once again the Hierarchy of the Church (infiltrated by the race of vipers) now teaches to disobey God in very serious things, e.g. many bishops and priests in the Catholic Church are pro-homosexual (that is: pro-lgtbiq) that is such a great sin that God destroys the countries that accept that and sends homosexuals and pro-homosexuals to hell. God is going to cleanse His Church and the world with much pain for everyone. But since He is a Good and Just Father, He Himself came together with the Virgin Mary (and many more beings from Heaven) in the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, so that those who hear them may be protected from evils under the mantle of the Virgin Mary. Jesus is the Way, and He will continue to lead us till His second coming.
--------
Many priests and other baptized in the Church are Jews who do not believe that Jesus is God and despise the Sacraments, the worst thing is that they work for satan within the Church to destroy everything that the Church built during 1964 years guided by the Holy Spirit. Since they believe in the Talmud, which says that Catholics are like animals, that we can be robbed, etc., they, mistakenly, may think: "Why to confess people if I don't believe in the Catholic religion, and besides, we (they, the race of vipers) have the door of Heaven open because we are children of Abraham? Why waste time on Catholics?"
--
They are like the Communists, like the Nazis, they are the servants of their masters, the One World Planners, who think that when they dominate the world and have the majority dead and those who survive are enslaved, they will be happy. They are the followers of the old man (the devil), who began with his bad advice to Eve teaching her to disobey God and then to his son Cain to kill his brother because he was envious of him... Cain would also think that if he made Abel disappear, he would feel better. But no. Because there is A GOD WHO PUNISHES SINS, and if one dies in mortal sin, that person goes to hell forever, never being able to leave that dreadful place anymore. "There is no peace for the wicked," says the Old Testament. The wicked think they can always escape their problems by stealing or killing or deceiving others, and then they feel worse, because they are filled with darkness, but instead we were designed to carry the Light of God. And since they are too cowardly to obey God against the current of the world, they enter into worse darkness and their father the devil eats their brains with the first mortal sin and then those people are more and more satanic and end up in the eternal burning of garbage: Gehenna (hell).
