St. Francis Borgia

The venerable Father Avila, in a letter addressed to the Holy Mother, praises and approves in the highest terms the doctrine concerning prayer and her account of visions, interior speeches, raptures, etc., which are mentioned in this and other works of the saint.

Yepez, Palafox, our own Albin Butler, and the learned writers of the last magnificent volume of the Bollandists, Father Gratian, St. Peter of Alcantara, St. John of the Cross, St. Louis Bertrand, St. Francis Borgia, F. Balazar Alvarez, Father Ripalda, F. Vicenzo Varon, and Dr. Hernandez, both consulters of the Inquisition.

All these and several other learned and celebrated men have exceedingly extolled the interior castle as a production that one might almost style inspired.

To enable the reader to understand the book, I would recommend a diligent perusal of Cardinal Bona's Via Comprendi ad Deum, and also his celebrated thesis, De Discretioni Spirituum.

In like manner, he represents to her other actions as more holy and profitable, to make her conceive a disgust of her present employment.

When some pretended to find fault with this book of St. Ignatius' spiritual exercises, Pope Paul III, at the request of St. Francis Borgia, by a brief, in 1548, approved it, as full of the Spirit of God, and very useful for the edification and spiritual profit of the faithful.

The pestilence which raged in Italy having ceased, Ignatius, after a stay of ten months at Monressa, left that place for Barcelona, neither regarding the tears of those who sought to detain him, nor admitting any to bear him company, nor consenting to accept any money for the expenses of his journey.

He took shipping at Barcelona, and in five days landed at Gaeta, whence he travelled on foot to Rome, Padua, and Venice, through villages, the towns being shut for fear of the plague.

always ready to fly from pole to pole, as the public necessity should require.

The Pope being satisfied with his reasons, the saints obliged all professed Jesuits to bind themselves by a simple vow never to seek prelatures, and to refuse them when offered, unless compelled by a precept of the Pope to accept them.

In 1546 the Jesuits first opened their schools in Europe, in the college which St. Francis Borgia had erected for them at Gandia, with the privileges of an university.

Death was first a chastisement, but today it can be a remedy for sin.

Let us remember the story of St. Francis Borgia.

The sight of a cadaver is what led him to change his life.

Let us remember also the life of St. Louis Marie de Montfort.

Uh, some of it went to Scotland, but most of the big wealth went to Switzerland.

And then when they got control over the Vatican banking through Francis Borgia, uh, Grand Master of the Montesa, uh, order in Spain that was created by the King of Spain to make sure that the Vatican didn't get the Templar wealth in Spain, um, that, that order inherited all of that wealth.

And then in early 1500s, in the 1520s, there's a Francis Borgia, part of the Black Nobility Borgias.

His grandfather-

Okay.

Father Baker, also in his Sancta Sophia, has some excellent and valuable remarks on visions and raptures.

Well, back in the day, popes could marry...

Pope Borgia was married.

St. Francis Borgia.

Thank you.

Shoot the rock.

if now you are careless over your spiritual duties and botch them a botcher you will remain all your life the whole point lies in the established attitude which you take up now they say that the business of kneading dough lies in first putting in of the yeast st bonaventure says in the attitude which one takes up at the beginning in that he remains it is very difficult for an old man to bend himself to that which he was not accustomed to in his youth it is a proverb of the holy ghost a proverb it is says solomon train a youth to go one way when he is old he will not depart from it proverbs twenty two six hence st john climacus came to say that it is a very dangerous thing and a matter of much apprehension when one enters on his course with tepidity and faintheartedness because he says it is a clear indication of a fall to come for this reason it is of supreme importance to accustom oneself to virtue from the outset and to do one's spiritual duties well the holy ghost warns us of this by the prophet jeremy it is a good thing for a man to accustom himself to bear the yoke from his youth lamentations three twenty seven because he will hold to it afterwards and thereby render to himself the way of virtue and goodness easy otherwise he will find it very difficult what thou hast not gathered in the time of youth how thinkest thou that thou shalt find it afterwards in the time of old age ecclesiasticus twenty five five from this first reason follows the second because if all the progress of the religious in future depends on his first formation then all the good of the order depends likewise thereon for an order does not consist of the walls of its houses and churches but of the religious there gathered together and they who are in the noviceship are they who have to be afterwards the whole order for this reason the society was not satisfied with establishing seminaries and colleges where ours are reared in letters and virtue together but has established seminaries of virtue alone where attention is paid to abnegation mortification of self and to the practice of true and solid virtues as being more of a main foundation than letters for this the houses of probation exist being as our father francis borghia says for the novices of bethlehem that is to say the house of bread because there are made the biscuits and provisions for the voyage against the great risks that await us this is harvest time this is the season of abundance these are the years of fertility in which your business is to take in supplies as joseph did against coming years of hunger and sterility oh if the people of egypt had understood and cast up their account and carefully considered what they were doing they would not have been in such a hurry to empty their houses of the wheat which joseph was gathering and locking up in his barns oh if you would take account how important it is for you to come out well provisioned from the house of probation certainly you would not be eager to get out of it quickly but would grieve at leaving it considering how ill you are off for virtue and mortification.

And therefore, Father Francis Borgia says that such an aim, or are glad at shortly going out of the novitiate, shows signs of want of judgment and lack of understanding of their need of good preparation.

They make light of the day's work that is before them, since they so lightly take the risk of rushing into it unprovided.

oh how rich and laden with virtues does our father take us to be when we are to leave the house of probation so he supposes in the constitutions he appoints two years of probation and experiment wishing the novice during that time to think of nothing else but his spiritual advancement seeing no other books and studying nothing else but what may forward him in self-denial and growth in virtue and perfection he is supposed to go out at the end of that time so spiritual and fervent such a lover of mortification and recollection so devoted to prayer and spiritual exercises as to need even to be restrained therein he therefore advises such persons when they go to the colleges to abate somewhat of their fits of fervor during the time of their studies not to make such long prayers nor do so many mortifications our father supposes one to leave the noviciop with so much light so much knowledge of god and contempt of the world so fervent and devout and inwardly carried to spiritual things as to need to be checked in his pace by these cautions do you then endeavor to go out such make the most of this time so precious that perchance never in your life will you have such a time again for gathering spiritual riches let not so good time pass in vain nor lose any part of it ecclesiastic's fourteen fourteen one of the great favors that the lord does to those whom he draws to religion in their tender age a favor for which they owe him infinite thanks is that it is then very easy for them to apply themselves to virtue and religious discipline a tree while it is tender at the beginning may be easily shaped so as to grow into a very beautiful tree but afterwards when you have let it grow in its own way and become crooked and awkwardly spreading you will break sooner than guide it into the shape you want and such it will remain as long as there is life left in it so it is easy to shape and direct one of tender age and turn him to what is good and by accustoming him to it from the time that he is small it will be rendered very easy for him afterwards and so he will go on and ever persevere in it it is a great thing for stuff to be dyed in the wool because then it never loses its color who can restore it to its whiteness says st jerome the wool that has drunk in a purple dye and another says an earthen jar long retains the odor of the first liquor poured in it the scripture praises king josiah for that when yet a boy he began to seek the god of his father david second chronicles thirty four three a person of note and master-general of the order of preachers relates that a certain religious appeared some nights after his death to another religious his companion all in glory and leading him out of his cell he showed him a great number of men clad in white and encompassed with light who carried very fair crosses upon their shoulders as they went in procession towards heaven a little after he beheld another procession fairer and more resplendent than the former each member of which carried a far richer and a more beautiful cross in his hands and not on his shoulders as the former did after that a third procession passed still more glorious and admirable than the two former for all their crosses were of a surprising beauty and they carried them neither on their shoulders nor in their hands but an angel going before carried his cross for him so that they followed with much alacrity and joy the religious astonished at this vision asked an explanation his companion answered that the first who carried their crosses upon their shoulders were those who had entered religion at a mature age The second who held their crosses in their hands were those that entered in early youth, and the last who marched with so much freedom and cheerfulness were those who, when they were small children, had renounced the world and embraced a religious life.

Goya pintó el cuadro años más tarde, en 1814, al terminar la guerra de la independencia, por iniciativa propia, para recordar el sufrimiento del pueblo.

Sabéis que Goya para mí es uno de mis pintores preferidos porque, eh, [risas] ha hecho cuadros como el cuadro de San Francisco de Borja y el moribundo impenitente, que era buenísimo.

Mmm, [chasquido de lengua] y entonces, las claves para el análisis.

El héroe anónimo, el hombre de camisa blanca con los brazos en cruz, centra la mirada.

Then I know there's another group of y'all more closely aligned with the likes of Christopher Dean, who not only see everything that we've already talked about thus far, but more than that, you understand how any meaningful discussion on black nobility really needs to include a robust exchange on how they quote unquote allegedly.

shaped Western civilization by influencing Renaissance culture, influencing modern banking, corporatocracy, and the three international sister cities, Vatican City, the City of London, and Washington, D.C. See, you see the connections between the Medici, the Borgia, Orsini, Colonia, and other families to Renaissance patronage, as well as papal authority, financial systems, and the broader infrastructure, and how all of that later fed into global control mechanisms such as central banking, the Committee of 300, and ultimately the creation of the New World Order.

Well, listen, we're going to talk about that and so much more, including how the black nobility really ties back into the three sectors of the satanic control matrix.

That being individual control through education, societal control through the net industrial complex and ultimately global control through the rise of the new world order built upon the three pillars of government, finance and religion.

and the number of popes that each of them produced because they're tied into the Vatican, right? Like now we're starting to see all this overlap with the power centers as we get closer to modern day.

So the names or these families are the Aldobrandini, which provided one pope to the Vatican.

The Borgia had two popes.

Breakspear had a pope.
