[@blueskyart]

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for the Archdiocese to just read all of the messages? This disgusts me that they required bureaucratic reports from you rather their providing pastoral engagement to you. Father, I understand how painful this must be for you and your community. Many of us viewing this have felt the pain of being orphaned by our bishops. The truth of Jesus Christ understood through the Catholic Church in all of her Sacred Scriptures, Traditions, and Liturgy are still true. These types of actions by an Archdiocese only draw me closer to the Church, ironically enough. I see your mission and I respond with faith. May God bless you all. We live in extraordinary times. Keep on going.

[@candaceorr7517]

God bless you too, Father. I agree that our Lord Jesus Christ is the only one that can guide the Church, of course. I pray that more people and clergy would open their hearts and minds and see these messages as a help and hope to us all.

[@julieanneloth6884]

God, Through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Power of the Holy Spirit, Established His Church on earth with the structure of Her Head, St. Peter and his successors, along with those Bishops united to him. This is basic Catholic teaching. Those who teach otherwise place themselves outside of the Family of the Church. This priest of the Missionaries of Divine Mercy, by his own words, signals clearly his disobedience to his rightful authority - Archbishop Gustavo. He uses the same arguments as the heretic and schismatic Martin Luther. He is placing himself, his discernment, above all others - he may as well call himself Pope, since he placed himself as his own authority. In doing so, he has led many astray, including his own blood family members. 🤔 May God have Mercy upon all and each one of us, for we like sheep, have gone astray. Fiat.

[@user-zx6oj7uz8w]

Thank you Father, I stand with you and MDM. I’ve never seen anyone so methodical, clear and thoughtful in their response as you. This same thing occurred in the Cleveland Diocese and the community is now over 30 yrs old. The diocese read a few messages and that was it and said nothing supernatural and we don’t have any spiritual theologian to look at this and then sent out letters to all priests and faithful not to go there. Holy Love Ministries has grown worldwide by the grace of God. They were calumniated instead of studied. So they too have persevered and carried their cross for over 30 years.

[@anthonymckinney9904]

That's because Holy Love Ministries isn't Catholic.

I have been following Christians in Brazil, visionaries reporting messages from Jesus and Mary. I thought they were Catholic,but I guess not. Anyway I take them seriously and I take the messages you have shared seriously. When it comes to the Christians in Brazil, I found it refreshing to not be filtered by the church. I thought maybe Jesus and Mary were reaching out to them because Catholic was not reaching many and in your case, stonewalled. They have grown and blossomed. I’m following you closely too. Aloha

[@vbitar5521]

We are receiving many prophetic messages for our salvation to individuals listening intently to God and his Mother. We have been intimidated to ignore these messages even through they contain no heretical content. These are private messages and can be taken by their fruits…to pray. But intimidation keeps us removed from the spiritual benefits for us as individuals and all God’s children. Thank you Father John Mary for delivering the messages despite the opposition. We pray for you while you bear this cross.

[@kathycollart7793]

I am grateful that you shared this, Fr. We too have had similar struggles and - though sad to see your own sufferings - it was helpful to see the tactics of the enemy in Texas that's working on your religious leadership as well as ours, too. The enemy causes our leaders to ignore mystical phenomena in the Church in these times and only focus on administrative things. We are in a different state suffering from similar misunderstandings (especially calumny against our priest, thus leading other Bishops and teaching institutions away from the hope they once had due to the falsehoods of the superiors because of their voluntary ignorance). Also, there were no meetings to find out more in the 10 years of fruitful ministry, no one-on-one meetings before the malignment, removal, and the uncorrected calumnies and misguided judgements (like misconstruing deliverance with unapproved exorcisms) by superiors nor the bishop (in fairness, who took his lead from the superiors). No checking into the clear signs of God and Our Lady's amazing fruitful work of healings, the restoration of faith and hope of even suicidal youth due to mystical, phenomenal Holy Spirit outreach. Those of us who have been witnesses to the Truth must watch in incredulity how the Truth is being trampled WITHIN the Church itself. We must decide that the Truth is more important than half-baked, voluntary ignorance that the leadership currently has displayed, which grieves us because we want to please them, but we must please God and Our Lady first. We've had 76 hours a week of SOLEMN Adoration since 2020! This kind of prayer commitment rose from the dregs of our almost abandoned mission over 10 years ago -all because of our priest who's been unfairly maligned and sent away by leadership. Yet the fact that so many prayer warriors still have kept Jesus company in our little country mission for 4 years -everyday for 12 hours, 6 days per week, and 4 hours on Sundays) is a miracle in itself! "By the fruits you will know them," Jesus says. You are not alone and we will be praying for you. Please pray for us, too. Viva Christo Rey! Viva La Virgin de Guadalupe! ❤️❤️

Yes, praise God for you all, but my dear brother and Priest, consider the following. In lieu of what has happened to Archbishop Vigano and many who, it appears to me, in my opinion, have been treated grossly unfairly by Rome, it is just a matter of time (I fear) before he, the pope, excommunicates you. Oh, how I hope I am wrong, maybe I am, but I do not say this lightly, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the ape of the Church seems to have arrived. Be prepared, gird up your loins, God loves you. If you haven't already, begin building a plan of action. Start now! A great starting point could be to learn from what Mother Angelica did to ensure her ministry survived. I believe you guys are probably already doing all of this, I just wanted to confirm you and lift you up in this effort. Remember, Jesus was treated much worse! However, because of His death and resurrection, we walk with the boldness of our Faith in the Sacred Wake of His Divine, super-abundant Grace, Mercy, and Love. I believe and pray an awesome victory will come for you. DO NOT FEAR!!! I lift you all up before the Sacred Heart of my Master, JESUS, with my beautiful Mom, Mary, Saints, and Angels at my side. We are with you do not give up, fight to the end! Mary Sweet Lady, my Mother, love, encourage them, be their Refuge! FATHER GOD, MY ABBA, WHO IS LIKE YOU, No one, Papa, no one. There is nowhere for me to go but YOU!! And so, I come to you, to implore you Master, to help these beautiful Catholic Christians who are your consecrated sons and daughters, your followers. I beg you, Papa, protect them and the Lay Christians helping them, if you have not already, YOU MUST (sorry, Papa, please) do something very special for them. Please, Mighty One of Heaven, please... I love you, Abba. I know you have heard me... God bless you, my dear friends, Jesus Peace be with you, and may His peace reign in your hearts...

You must submit and be obedient to the authority of the church. Humility and obedience is key and valued by heaven. If these messages are from heaven, don't worry about trying to convince. That's not your job. God will find a way but only through your obedience and humility. There are many shepards who are being persecuted, stripped of their faculties and positions. Those priests are obeying in great humility and suffering. God will reward them and they are earning merit. By remaining obstinate and disobeying, you are causing division, which is exactly what the devil wants.

As frustrating as it is waiting for your public responses, I am glad to see the delay. It shows you are not acting rashly. I am more inclined to believe your messages due to your patience and care in the matter.

[@PioDoria]

Dear Father John Mary, on the day of your ordination the bishop asked you, "Do promise respect and obedience to me and my successors?" Jesus said to St. Faustina, if it was a matter of obeying him or her confessor, he wanted her to obey her confessor. In principle, I don't think a private revelation can ever warrant an act of disobedience to the Bishop whom you have vowed to God you would obey. This has never been the way of the Church. I cannot think of a single example in our Catholic tradition when a saint has acted in this way, can you? Your video seems to be caught up in more polemics, "arguing and wrangling" as St. Paul said, about words and letters and who said what. Is this the fruit, endless in-fighting? Is it possible that you have given in to human weakness and impatience in disobeying your bishop, and that this will actually slow any genuine progress the Holy Spirit desired, such as the retreats you provided for people? Holiness itself is certainly better than posting something that cannot be called anything more than "supposed divine messages" on youtube. Yes, the devil knows all our weaknesses and can be that cunning in leading even very holy souls to break their vows. Whereas obedience to legitimate authority has always been the sure anchor of obedience to God's will for the saints and in our whole Catholic tradition. Would God set a new precedence for us now in these most difficult of times? I have no connection with you or your diocese, I am a very simple soul, humbly submitting this comment for your prayerful consideration- with a Hail Mary! Peace and blessings, in the Holy Spirit.

[@bajone02]

I believe Fr. Foster is within full rights to defend this small group that heaven very likely brought together many years ago. He is not maligning his bishop for the sake of argument but pointing out v e r y c a r e f u l l y and respectfully where the human falacies exist out of the bishop's office. YOU have not been given the charge from heaven that MDM has, so please sit back and do not judge or try to armchair direct. Heaven will judge MDM's action soon enough, agreed. I repeat the connect I made in its own post .... Please see Daniel O'Connor's recent YT post "Bishops vs God's seers in 2024 & what WW3's Cause will REALLY Be ...". Wowza!! Tho Daniel speaks about three other mystic cancellations, MDM fits the profile as well. Heaven Will respond!!! In the last 30 min or so Daniel points out what signs to watch for so you know to prepare with grace and supplies!! Do not wait too long....
