"The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one, universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail."
"Then I had the sweet assurance that Mary is the Church; the Church, our mother; God, our father; and Jesus, our brother."
Mel Gibson used scripture and the writings of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich to make the movie the Passion of the Christ.
Today, February 9, 2025, is her Feast Day and so I’ve decided to just highlight some of her experiences she has written about considering she revealed that saints are particularly powerful on their feast days and should be invoked then.
She saw the strong link–even long after their deaths–between holy souls in Heaven and their descendants here on earth, lasting even centuries.
She saw that many saints come from the same families, the antiquity of which often extends far back into the Old Testament.
She revealed that Our Lord suffered from the wound in His shoulder more than from any other.
She continually saw a false church, and wicked men scheming against the Catholic Church and doing much harm–both in her own time and in the future.
She saw in a vision the enemies of the Church tearing it down and trying to build a new one on strictly human plans–but none of the saints would lend a hand. Later, this church of men is destroyed and the saints of God join in to rebuild the true Church of God, which becomes more glorious than ever before.
She saw the revival of the priesthood and the religious orders after a period of great decadence.
Quotes of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich
"Man's value before God is estimated by the dispositions of his heart, its uprightness, its good-will, its charity, and not by keenness of intellect or extent of knowledge."
"If the Church is true, all in her is true; he who admits not the one, believes not the other."
"Mass badly celebrated is an enormous evil. Ah! it is not a matter of indifference how it is said! . . . I have had a great vision on the mystery of Holy Mass and I have seen that whatever good has existed since creation is owing to it."
