Pamphlet problems : no priest available

If I would make a pamphlet citing Dominus Iesus and the CDF Notification on Jacques Dupuis saying non Catholics need to convert into the Catholic Church for salvation and if I would want to distribute it among Catholics for their education in Rome,would any Catholic priest allow me to use his name and telephone number as a resource person?
I do not know of any priest who offers the Traditional Latin Mass who would allow me to use his telephone and contact number.I know of a few who refused.
I made the pamphlets. I went ahead. It was some years back. I did not have a place to stay.I knew what I had written in the pamphlet was the teachings of the Catholic Church.It went something like this:The Catholic Church teaches that all Jews,Muslims....need to convert into the Church for salvation ( Dominius Iesus 20, CDF, Notification 2001).But I neeed a telephone number and contact person who would answer questions on this religious subject.I did not have a cell phone and neither do I have one now.
I did not know of any priest who would help.
At that time I would attend the Traditional Latin Mass on Sunday mornnings held by Mons. Ignacio Barreiro at San Giuseppe a Capo le Casa, Rome and the one daily every morning held by Fr. Joseph Kramer FSSP at San Gregerio Murialdo, Rome( I don't know if I have got that name correct).There was an American priest there at that time as Fr.Kramer's assistant.
I asked this young priest if I could use his name and telephone number. He refused.
I told him he was a priest and should not be afraid. My name was already there on the pamphlet.He refused. Also Fr. Kramer refused.
I went ahead and placed their telephone number on the pamphlet and distributed it. The last place I distributed it was at the Church of San Silvestro in Rome, they have Mass in English and are noted liberals.
Fr.Kramer got the expected phone call/s. He was not going to defend Catholic doctrine in public. In private may be.He was not going to defend me.
He asked me to room my computer which I stored at that church and remove anything else I had there.It had to be done by the evening.He was there in the evening, with a scowl, to make sure I followed his instructions.
Summorum Pontificum had been released and this was the first FSSP church.It was small church in a blind alley.Virginia Loda who organises the annual March for Life was among the few people who would attend.
Then I made another pamphlet and I again needed a priest to defend my quotations from Dominus Iesus and the CDF Notification on Dupuis I quoted Mons.Ignacio Barreiro. He had written an article for an SSPX publication.
He got the phone calls.
He told me again to remove my computer, which my sister had sent me, and which I had stored at the HLI office in Rome since I had no place of my own.He was not going to defend what I had written even though it was the teaching of the Church and he was in agreement with it.He did not want me to quote him.
This was all some 10 years back.
Nothing has changed.
I find myself still - as the only person writing on what I have been writing.
At about that time time I was told not to enter the premises of the Regina Apostolorum University Rome because of the same pamphlet which affirms an unpopular subject.No Legion of Christ priest whom I knew would want to be quoted.
So now when I say that Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) is in line with EENS( Feeneyite), the Emperor has not clothes!!-who cares.No one is going to come out in the open and affirm it.
No priest is going to say at the pulpit or in writing that outside the Church there is no salvation and this is the official teaching of Vatican Council II without the strange and made premise.
No priest.
Today morning at Mass the priest prayed for the pope and he prayed for all priests and he prayed for evangelisation.
And I pray for him and all priests here that they may have the courage to proclaim the hard teachings of the Catholic Faith - inspite, of everything.-Lionel Andrades

Questions Mons.Livi should have been asked in the interview with Gloria TV

The lady who interviewed Monsgr.Antonio Livi  1 was not aware of the false premise being used in the interpretation of Vatican Council II by the liberal English bishops 2, the two popes and also Monsgr. Livi and herself.
Otherwise these are some of the relevant questions she could have asked him. I would have asked him these questions in an interview, if I met him. But may be he  would not understand me .First some background theology would have to be explained to him.
Then I would test to see also if he understood me with these questions.His answers to these questions I would have posted it as an interview.

1.Mons. Livi do you agree that there is an  irrational reasoning in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(LOHO) which rejects traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) ? And this reasoning is responsible for the false theology of the popes which you mentioned in the recent  interview with Gloria TV  ?


2. So unlike the popes and saints of the past Mons. Livi do you  consider the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as being physically invisible cases . Or instead, like the liberal theologians in 1949 and then 1965 you, Mons. Livi  will interpret BOD, BOB and I.I as being known people, physically visible examples of salvation outside the Church.?

 3. Mons. Livi  no more affirms the old exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church since visible for him BOD, BOB and I.I are objective exceptions to traditional EENS while it is not the same for Lionel on Lionel's Blog, why ? What is the difference?

4. Mons.Livi interprets Vatican Council II as a rupture with EENS since LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc refer to known people, saved outside the Catholic  Church, even when there cannot be any such known people, agreed?


5.This is also the official irrational reasoning among liberals  to eliminate the Syllabus of Errors on the Old Ecumenism of Return, the Old Theology based on invisible for us BOD, BOB and I.I and the Old Ecclesiology which was exclusivist and ecclesiocentric.This was the theology of Mons. Livi when he was a professor at the St.John Lateran University, Rome.?


6. Mons. Livi doctrinally has rejected the dogma EENS and so also in practise( pastorally) at interfaith meetings, catechesis for adults, Religion classes at school etc, this would be his understanding of Vatican Council II, a rupture with EENS?


 7. For Mons.Livi Vatican Council II does not  support the Syllabus of Errors on ecumenism, other religions,exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church etc but on Lionel's Blog it does.Why the difference? Both are reading the same Vatican Council II text and the interpretations are different?


8.Mons. Livi does  interpret  BOD, BOB and I.I (which common sense indicates are hypothetical cases) as referring to visible people, saved outside the Church,  in the present times and so in this way is like Fr. Hans Kung s.j,  Fr. Karl Rahner s.j , Fr.Jacques Dupuis s.j and Fr. Joseph Ratzinger ? This is assumed since for him there are objective exceptions to traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus and so the dogma defined by three Church Councils is rejected by Vatican Council II ? There would have to be visible people for them to be exceptions to EENS ? But this is not the interpretation of Lionel ?


9.So on salvation theology it is clear that doctrine has been rejected and changed officially  and this is not being denied by the cardinals and yet Mons. Livi does not comment on this ? Since he makes the same mistake? -Lionel Andrades

Apparition of Mary Photo at Medjugorje







Priest from U.S experiences extraordinary scent of roses at Our Lady's statue in Medugorje which breaks him mystically

(Video Fruit of Medugorje.9:01) As he knelt at the statue of Our Lady, Fr.John, with the American pilgrimage noticed the strong scent of roses.
From that moment he started to see things from another perspective.
He was crying and felt that there was a peace there and something special.
Michael Nolan one of the organisers of the pilgrim also says that Our Lady has been with him at the right time and place many times and has showed her presence and love. He too has smelt the roses many times.
Pilgrims in the group have said that they could not help crying at Mass.The joy and elation was intense.-L.A

All the popes from John XIII have been promoting a heretical theology at Vatican Council II says Mons. Antonio Livi .But many know this. He does not say that without a false premise the theology changes and then Vatican Council II automatically has the Old Theology and Old Ecclesiolgy. This point is still known and explained only on this blog Eucharist and Mission(Lionel's Blog).It is still unknown to Mons. Livi.
In an interview with Gloria TV in Italian he has said that all the popes and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have taught orthodoxy and sacredness but they have all been united on theology.A heretical theology.
He said Pope Benedict has good intentions and pastorally has done good but has made philosophical and theological mistakes.Antonio Livi still is not aware of the precise and subtle error in the rejection of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, with the invisible people are visible premise.
He observes the effects of the use of the wrong premise in Vatican Council II but still is not aware of the precise cause of these non traditional conclusions. It is assuming invisible for us baptism of desire etc are visible and known examples of salvation outside the Church.This is irrational and an innovation in the Church.This error was not made by the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas etc. For them invisible cases of the baptism of desire were also referred to unknown people and so they were never relevant to extra ecclesiam nulla salus. The liberal theologians, Rahner etc made them relevant with the use of this false premise( invisible  cases are real people saved outside the Church)
Like Romano Amero, Msgr. Brunero Gherardino and Mons. Lefebvre he is not aware that the error emerged during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII  and Monsgr.Livi himself makes the same mistake.
Otherwise he would have outright have said that Vatican Council II is in harmony with the past exclusivist ecclesiolgy of the Catholic Church.-Lionel Andrades

Monsignor Antonio Livi Aprile 2018 Espandi

On salvation theology it is clear that doctrine has been rejected and changed officially and this is not being denied by the cardinals and yet no one comments on this.

Cardinal Vince Nicols through his silence supported the euthanasia of  Alfie Evans and will deny that he supports euthanasia. He also supports the irrational reasoning of the Letter of the Holy Office 1949(LOHO) which rejects traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and he will NOT deny it.
Cardinal Vince Nicols will give the Eucharist to politicans who support abortion and he will deny that he supports abortion. Unlike the popes and saints of the past he will not consider the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I) as being physically invisible cases. Instead like the liberal theologians in 1949 and then 1965 he will interpret BOD, BOB and I.I as being known people, physically visible examples of salvation outside the Church. He will not deny this.
Cardinal Vince Nicols will give the Eucharist at Mass to practising homosexuals but if it is said that he does not consider the homosexual act a mortal sin, he will deny it.But if it is said that he no more affirms the old exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church since visible for him BOD, BOB and I.I are objective exceptions, he will not deny it.
So Cardinal Nicols interprets Vatican Council II as a rupture with EENS since LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc refer to known people, saved outside the Catholic  Church, even when there cannot be any such known people.This is the official irrational reasoning in England, to eliminate the Syllabus of Errors on the Old Ecumenism of Return, the Old Theology based on invisible for us BOD, BOB and I.I and the Old Ecclesiology which was exclusivist and ecclesiocentric.
So the Archdiocese of Westminister doctrinally has rejected the dogma EENS and so also in practise( pastorally) at interfaith meetings, catechesis for adults, Religion classes at school etc.
This will not be denied by Cardinal Nicols or Archbishop Malcolm McMahon O.P, the Archbishop of Liverpool, who overlooks Catholic education in Britain.
I repeat -Cardinal Nicols will suppport the Eucharist being given to the divorced and married and will say that doctrinally in general he is against it, like he is against euthanasia.But he will not support the Syllabus of Errors on ecumenism, other religions,exclusive salvation in the Catholic Church etc, and he does not deny this.
He does not also deny that he interprets BOD, BOB and I.I (which common sense indicates are hypothetical cases) as referring to visible people, saved outside the Church,  in the present times. So in this way, like it was for Fr. Hans Kung s.j, Fr. Karl Rahner s.j , Fr.Jacques Dupuis s.j and Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, there are objective exceptions to traditional extra ecclesiam nulla salus and so the dogma defined by three Church Councils is rejected.
There have been so many reports on line on the importance of affirming Catholic doctrine, with reference to moral theology and in particular Amoris Laetitia and the liberal cardinals have denied that they reject doctrine.
But on salvation theology it is clear that doctrine has been rejected and changed officially  and this is not being denied by the cardinals and yet no one comments on this.

Priest and Former New Age Enthusiast Warns Catholics Away from Eastern Meditation


Priest and Former New Age Enthusiast Warns Catholics Away from Eastern Meditation


This article about a priest who dabbled in transcendental meditation for 18 years before coming back to the Faith, comes as a wake-up call to so many Christians who are casually introducing Eastern meditation techniques into their prayer lives. Many of these practices are not as innocent as they appear!

Fr. Bill Kneemiller
After decades of his own involvement, Father Bill Kneemiller, a Catholic priest and former teacher of transcendental meditation, is issuing a strong warning to the faithful about the dangers of dabbling in Eastern meditation techniques.
“I have not publicly written about this before because it has taken time to come out of this New Age involvement,” Fr. Kneemiller said in an article published in The Catholic Messenger, the newspaper of the diocese of Davenport, Iowa.
Fr. Kneemiller became involved in the New Age just after high school. “As far as my faith life, Catholicism was OK but I wanted to get a spiritual high,” he said.
He started out by reading a book on yoga entitled, Heaven Lies Within and rationalized that even Jesus said similar words.
From there, he started practicing the Eastern meditation technique known as transcendental meditation (TM), a Hindu technique centered upon the repetition of a mantra that is used for the purpose of achieving “pure awareness” or transcendental consciousness – a unique state of restful alertness – which is believed to be a person’s innermost Self.  Fr. Kneemiller became deeply involved in TM, traveling to several countries and spending close to a year overseas studying the technique and advanced programs.
He met New Age gurus such as Deepak Chopra and Johnny Gray, author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and thought it was wonderful that a group of Trappists were promoting TM [known as centering prayer] and that priests were also endorsing it.
“Everything seemed OK at the time because I was taught it is just a technique which enriches everyone’s own religion and the mantra used for this meditation practice was a meaningless word,” he said. “It would be decades before I learned that mantras are names of Hindu gods.”
After 18 years of involvement with Eastern meditation, he started to attend a family rosary group that taught “prayer from the heart” and it completely changed his concept of prayer. What he once thought was just a “rote practice” suddenly became “a conversation and relationship with Christ.”
As a result, “the New Age-culture started sounding unusual, even strange,” he said, and eventually stopped practicing TM and entered the seminary.
Soon after his ordination, while attending a healing Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport, a priest said a prayer of deliverance over him and told him he had to denounce the mantra he had used in TM.
In 2010, he attended a healing conference in Chicago where he met another priest and former meditation teacher, Father Bob Thorn, a parish priest from Wisconsin, who warned him that he was still under the influence of those meditation techniques.
“He went on to explain that I needed to denounce every Hindu god that is invoked in the meditation ceremony.  I realized he was right. The transcendental meditation ceremony is filled with dozens of invocations to gods, such as ‘Brahma, Shiva’… you name it; it’s there in the ceremony in which everyone is taught the technique.”
Three priests helped with the deliverance prayers, two of which were known to be some of the most skilled exorcists in the world.
“The priests recommended that I denounce each god and proclaim Jesus Christ as savior, which took about a quarter of an hour.  I did this, and the priest did a casting-out prayer. The healing session was a profound gift and grace. Wow, the effects of spiritual healing! That night, I slept like a baby.
Then, the next week, and in subsequent months I have felt lighter and freer than I have ever experienced in my life.”
He began almost immediately to preach against New Age practices.
“I could never recommend anyone using Eastern meditation for any reason at all,” he said. “But, I also now see many intrusions of New Age thought, or re-formulated Hinduism in our culture, and some in our parishes.”
He issues the same warning contained in the 2003 Church document entitled: “Jesus Christ, the Bearer of the Water of Life: “Many people are convinced that there is no harm in ‘borrowing’ from the wisdom of the East, but the example of transcendental meditation should make Christians cautious about the prospect of committing themselves unknowingly to another religion (in this case Hinduism).”
“There is no problem with learning how to meditate but the object or content of the exercise clearly determines whether it relates to the God revealed by Jesus Christ … or simply to the hidden depths of the self,” the document states.
Catholics should not be dabbling in the New Age, Fr. Kneemiller says, not only because of the dangers, but because we have all we need in Jesus Christ.
“Our Church’s teachings remind us that we have in the person of Jesus Christ a trustworthy and sure guide, true man and true God, and source of all goodness!”

“Voglio farti vedere il luogo dove Martin Lutero è condannato e la pena che subisce in castigo del suo orgoglio”.

“Voglio farti vedere il luogo dove Martin Lutero è condannato e la pena che subisce in castigo del suo orgoglio”.

Nel 1883 Suor Maria Serafina Micheli (1849-1911) beatificata il 28 maggio 2011, fondatrice dell’Istituto delle Suore degli Angeli, si trovava a passare per Eisleben, nella Sassonia, città natale di Lutero. Si festeggiava, in quel giorno, il quarto centenario della nascita del grande eretico ( 10 novembre 1483) che spaccò l’Europa e la Chiesa in due, perciò le strade erano affollate, i balconi imbandierati. Tra le numerose autorità presenti si aspettava, da un momento all’altro, anche l’arrivo dell’imperatore Guglielmo I, che avrebbe presieduto alle solenni celebrazioni.

La futura beata, pur notando il grande trambusto non era interessata a sapere il perché di quell’insolita animazione, l’unico suo desiderio era quello di cercare una chiesa e pregare per poter fare una visita a Gesù Sacramentato. Dopo aver camminato per diverso tempo, finalmente, ne trovò una, ma le porte erano chiuse. Si inginocchiò ugualmente sui gradini …

… d’accesso, per fare le sue orazioni. Essendo di sera, non s’era accorta che non era una chiesa cattolica, ma protestante. Mentre pregava le comparve l’angelo custode, che le disse: “ Alzati, perché questo è un tempio protestante”.

Poi le soggiunse: “Ma io voglio farti vedere il luogo dove Martin Lutero è condannato e la pena che subisce in castigo del suo orgoglio”.

Dopo queste parole vide un’orribile voragine di fuoco, in cui venivano crudelmente tormentate un incalcolabile numero di anime. Nel fondo di questa voragine v’era un uomo, Martin Lutero, che si distingueva dagli altri: era circondato da demoni che lo costringevano a stare in ginocchio e tutti, muniti di martelli, si sforzavano, ma invano, di conficcargli nella testa un grosso chiodo.

La suora pensava: se il popolo in festa vedesse questa scena drammatica, certamente non tributerebbe onori, ricordi, commemorazioni e festeggiamenti per un tale personaggio.

In seguito, quando le si presentava l’occasione ricordava alle sue consorelle di vivere nell’umiltà e nel nascondimento. Era convinta che Martin Lutero fosse punito nell’Inferno soprattutto per il primo peccato capitale, la superbia.

L’orgoglio lo fece cadere nel peccato capitale, lo condusse all’aperta ribellione contro la Chiesa Cattolica Romana. La sua condotta, il suo atteggiamento nei riguardi della Chiesa e la sua predicazione furono determinanti per traviare e portare tante anime superficiali ed incaute all’eterna rovina.

Se vogliamo evitare l’Inferno viviamo nell’umiltà. Accettiamo di non essere considerati, valutati e stimati da quelli che ci conoscono. Non lamentiamoci, quando veniamo trascurati o siamo posposti ad altri che pensiamo siano meno degni di noi. Non critichiamo mai, per nessun motivo, l’operato di coloro che ci circondano. Se giudicheremo gli altri, non siamo neppure cristiani.

Se giudichiamo gli altri, non siamo neppure noi stessi. Confidiamo sempre nella grazia di Dio e non in noi stessi. Non preoccupiamoci eccessivamente della nostra fragilità, ma del nostro orgoglio e presunzione. Diciamo spesso col salmista: “Signore, non si inorgoglisce il mio cuore e non si leva con superbia il mio sguardo; non vado in cerca di cose grandi, superiori alle mie forze” (Salm. 130).

Offriamo a Dio il nostro “nulla”: le incapacità, le difficoltà, gli scoraggiamenti, le delusioni, le incomprensioni, le tentazioni, le cadute e le amarezze di ogni giorno.

Riconosciamoci peccatori, bisognosi della sua misericordia. Gesù, proprio perché siamo peccatori ci chiede solo di aprire il nostro cuore e di lasciarsi amare da Lui. E’ questa l’esperienza di San paolo: “La mia potenza, infatti, si manifesta pienamente nella debolezza. Mi vanterò, quindi, ben volentieri delle mie debolezze, perché dimori in me la potenza di Cristo” (2 Cor. 12,9). Non ostacoliamo l’amore di Dio nei nostri riguardi col peccato o con l’indifferenza. Diamogli sempre più spazio nella nostra vita, a vivere in piena comunione con Lui nel tempo e nell’eternità.

Clotilde Micheli nacque a Imer (Trento) l’11 settembre 1849 da genitori profondamente cristiani; a 3 anni come si usava allora, ricevette il Sacramento della Cresima, a Fiera di Primiero dal vescovo-principe di Trento mons. Tschiderer; a 10 anni ricevé la Prima Comunione.

A partire dalla sua giovinezza la vita di Clotilde Micheli sembra un romanzo ottocentesco, in realtà la Volontà di Dio plasmava quest’anima predestinata, facendola vagare da un posto all’altro, alla ricerca di come realizzare la rivelazione fattagli dalla Madonna il 2 agosto 1867, mentre a 18 anni era in preghiera come al solito nella chiesa di Imer.
La Madonna le manifestò la Volontà di Dio che venisse fondato un nuovo Istituto religioso, con lo specifico scopo di adorare la SS. Trinità, con speciale devozione alla Madonna ed agli Angeli, quali modelli di preghiera e di servizio.

Seguendo il consiglio di una donna saggia e prudente di Imer, Costanza Piazza, Clotilde si recò a Venezia per consigli spirituali da mons. Domenico Agostini, futuro patriarca della città lagunare, il quale consigliò la giovane ad iniziare l’opera voluta da Dio, invitandola a stenderne la Regola.

Ma essa presa dal timore di non riuscire, strappò le lettere di presentazione e ritornò ad Imer. Nel 1867 si trasferì da sola a Padova, qui rimase per nove anni fino al 1876, seguendo la guida spirituale di mons. Angelo Piacentini, professore del locale Seminario, cercando di capire meglio la chiamata ricevuta.

Alla morte del Piacentini nel 1876, Clotilde Micheli si recò a Castellavazzo (Belluno) presso l’arciprete Gerolamo Barpi, il quale conosciute le intenzioni della giovane, mise a sua disposizione un vecchio convento per la nuova fondazione.
Nel 1878 Clotilde stava per subire con un sotterfugio, un matrimonio combinato, per cui avendolo saputo, se ne fuggì in Germania ad Epfendorf nel Wurttemberg, dove i genitori si erano da poco trasferiti per lavoro.

Rimase in Germania sette anni, dal 1878 al 1885 lavorando come infermiera presso l’Ospedale delle Suore Elisabettine e facendosi notare per la sua carità e la delicatezza usata verso gli ammalati. Dopo la morte della madre nel 1882 e del padre nel 1885, decise di lasciare definitivamente la Germania e ritornò ad Imer suo paese natio.
Due anni dopo, questa irrequieta donna di 38 anni, insieme alla cugina Giuditta, intraprese nel maggio 1887 un pellegrinaggio a piedi verso Roma, facendo tappe a vari Santuari Mariani, con devozione e spirito di penitenza, sempre intenzionata a verificare ancora la Volontà di Dio, circa la fondazione ideata.

Ad agosto giunsero a Roma e ospitate dalle Suore di Carità Figlie dell’Immacolata (Immacolatine) fondate da Maria Fabiano; la fondatrice conosciuta Clotilde più profondamente, la convinse a prendere l’abito del suo nascente Istituto, promettendole di lasciarla libera se si fosse attuato il suo disegno giovanile.
Clotilde prese il nome di suor Annunziata e rimase fra le Immacolatine fino all’inizio del 1891, ricoprendo anche la carica di superiora dal 1888 al 1891 nel convento di Sgurgola d’Anagni.

La sua discesa verso l’Italia del Sud proseguì nel 1891, arrivando ad Alife (Caserta) su invito di padre Francesco Fusco da Trani, francescano conventuale, che intendeva proporre a Clotilde la realizzazione di una fondazione ideata dal vescovo mons. Scotti, ma lei constatò che il progetto del vescovo, non concordava con quello che sembrava essere il disegno di Dio su di lei.

Dopo essersi spostata a Caserta ospite di una famiglia che la sosteneva, Clotilde passò nella vicina Casolla con due giovinette che si erano unite a lei. Dopo alcuni mesi, il vescovo di Caserta mons. De Rossi, principe di Castelpetroso, autorizzò la vestizione religiosa del primo gruppo di cinque suore, che avvenne con la presenza di padre Fusco il 28 giugno 1891, la nuova Istituzione prese il nome di Suore degli Angeli, adoratrici della SS. Trinità.
La fondatrice Clotilde Micheli aveva 42 anni e prese il nome di suor Maria Serafina del Sacro Cuore. Un anno dopo un primo nucleo di suore fu inviato a gestire un orfanotrofio a S. Maria Capua Vetere (Caserta), che divenne anche la prima Casa dell’Istituto, seguita poi da altre opere, volte ad aiutare l’infanzia e la gioventù abbandonata.

Ma per madre Serafina cominciò, a partire dalla fine del 1895, un periodo di sofferenze fisiche, che dopo un intervento chirurgico molto delicato, sollecitato dallo stesso vescovo di Caserta, la indebolì vistosamente. Nel frattempo dopo varie vicende fu aperta nel giugno 1899 la Casa di Faicchio (Benevento) che in seguito diventerà l’Istituto di formazione della Congregazione. Madre Maria Serafina fu impegnata a realizzare altre opere ad un ritmo sostenuto che la indebolì ulteriormente, tanto da costringerla a non muoversi più da Faicchio.

Come quasi tutte le fondatrici di Congregazioni religiose, anche lei ebbe molto a soffrire moralmente per le incomprensioni patite anche all’interno stesso del suo Istituto, e il 24 marzo 1911, consumata dalle sofferenze fisiche morì nella Casa di Faicchio, dove è tumulata.

Per la santità della sua vita, che aumentò dopo la sua morte, le sue Suore degli Angeli avviarono la causa per la sua beatificazione, con il nulla osta della Santa Sede del 9 luglio 1990 e che procede presso la competente Congregazione per le Cause dei Santi. Il suo carisma di prescelta con un intervento della Vergine nel lontano 1867, l’accompagnò per tutta la vita e si diffonde tuttora nella sua Congregazione, come dono dello Spirito Santo: “Come gli Angeli adorerete la Trinità e sarete sulla terra come essi sono nei cieli”.
