We, Supreme Pontiff, Vicar of Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Servant of the Servants of God, Patriarch of El Palmar de Troya.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, moved by the Holy Ghost, in the present Document, desire to amplify the Infallible Doctrine presented in previous Documents on the Creation of the Most Divine Soul of Christ and the Divine Soul of Mary.

We, as Universal Teacher and Guide of the Church, declare the certain and Infallible Doctrine, that the Most Divine Soul of Christ is, concretely, the Creation of Light.  On the first day, God created Heaven and earth. In this first Creation, before all things were made, God said: "Let there be Light.”  And there was Light.

We wish to recall the beginning of the Gospel of Saint John:

"In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life:  and the life was the light of men.  And the Light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness did not receive it . . .”

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, in accord with the teaching of the centuries, declare that the Word, which is the Word of God, is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. And since all things were created with Him, by Him and for Him, there follows the logical conclusion that the first thing created was the Most Divine Soul of Christ, which from that very instant was espoused with the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. Thus there appears, clear and precise, the Infallible Doctrine that the Most Divine Soul of Christ is the Light that enlightens all, and, being Light from God in sublime union, fills all. On that first day of Creation were created the stars, and in a higher sense, the invisible stars that are Pure Spirits, which Pure Spirits are the Angels. Above these stars there is that most Powerful Star, which is the Divine Soul of Mary, which, as you know, was created before all things, following the creation of the Most Divine Soul of Christ. The Light is a Most Powerful Star called the Sun, and this Sun is the Most Divine Soul of Christ. Having received most powerful rays from the Creator, this Sun spreads them and inundates the Divine Soul of Mary in such wise that the Soul of Mary becomes a Most Luminous Star, which we call the Morning Star. This Star that receives the Light of the Sun, sheds powerful rays over the other lights, the Angels. And these Angels become stars, but stars that receive the Light of the Sun through the Morning Star.

We teach infallibly as certain doctrine this sublime truth:

In creating all things, the Creator was accompanied by the Sun, the Soul of Christ espoused with the Word, and by the Morning Star, the Soul of Mary.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach the Infallible Doctrine that, on the first day, when it is said that God created Heaven and Earth - besides the Creation of all things visible such as heavenly bodies, stars, planets, satellites, etc., - principally and above all these things, is given to us to understand that Heaven is the Most Divine Soul of Christ, and that Earth is the Divine Soul of Mary.

We teach that God, One in essence and Three in Persons, installed Himself, so to speak, in that Heaven which He created through the intimate union in espousal of the Word with the Most Divine Soul of Christ. Likewise, it is certain Doctrine that, as Heaven envelopes the Earth, and in said to be the air we breathe, so does the Blessed Trinity envelope and place the Divine Soul of Mary to the centre of the Triangle, in such wise that the Divine Soul of Mary becomes the Mystical City of God. The Most Holy Trinity dwells in this City, and dwells there with such intimate familiarity, that it fills with astonishment and admiration all who contemplate that august decree of God.

We teach that, in the whole Work of Creation, from the moment when the Divine Soul of Mary is created, She is the Mystical City of God. From that moment God dwells in Her, never to be separated. The Father would say that He could not live away from His Only Daughter. The Only-begotten Son of the Father cannot live unless close to His Mother. The Holy Ghost, the Dove, cannot live apart from His Partner and Purest Spouse, the Divine Soul of Mary, that White Dove, Who, besides being Morning Star, is the Dew that covers the fields by night, the Dew that, through Her espousal with the Holy Ghost, cooperates with Him in the Work of Creation, filling it all.  Such is the familiarity of God with His Mystical City, that this City becomes Temple and Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and, as logical Consequence, Ark of the Covenant.

Throughout the History of Mankind this admirable Pair is present, the Exalted Doves:  the Holy Ghost and Mary. This Pair is present in the History of Mankind in such wise that never is there a moment when They do not preside over the actions of the good. The entire Old Testament is full of the presence of this Pair, since the Holy Ghost spoke through the Prophets. The Holy Ghost leads the Patriarchs, Prophets, Kings and Judges and the People of Israel. The Holy Ghost, Who in certain manner cannot live without the company of His Most Pure Spouse, draws Her to himself with most vehement fire of love and leads Her as inseparable Companion in order to preside with Him over the great events in the History of the Chosen People.

We teach you that the Holy Ghost was not absent from Noah's Ark. He had withdrawn from the world because of the abominable sins of man, but He continued to assist Noah, a just man. As you know, Noah received a Divine Order to build an Ark in preparation for the universal flood. This just man, obedient to the Creator, brought into the Ark a pair of each animal species, as well as his three sons and their wives, and his own wife. All were in pairs:  the humans, man and woman, and then every kind of animal; birds, domestic animals, beasts and so forth.  From this admirable truth, follows a logical consequence that those pairs in Noah's Ark enjoyed the presidency and the leadership of another Pair, composed of the Holy Ghost and of the Divine Soul of Mary. The Holy Ghost was present under the Appearance of a dove, and this Dove had as Companion the Divine Soul of Mary, also in the form of a dove. And it was precisely this Dove that returned with an olive branch in its beak, symbol and figure of Christ. The Holy Ghost Installs Himself in the Ark and, with vehement fire of love, attracts the company of the White Dove, the
Divine Soul of Mary. It is precisely at this moment that We feel incapable of explaining poetically and mystically what then transpires.  In the Ark there are two Doves, the Holy Ghost and Mary. On the one hand, the Holy Ghost, with most vehement love, attracts to His aid, the other two Persons of the Most Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son, - since the Three Persons are inseparable, being one only true God. However, since everything here proceeds in pairs, the While Dove, the Divine Soul of Mary, with most vehement love, attracts the Most Divine Soul of Christ; and there you have the olive branch. In this sublime manner, as the White Dove is the Mystical City of God, wherever this White Dove alights, are installed the Most Holy Trinity and the Most Divine Soul of Christ, espoused with the Word. Thus the Ark of Noah becomes the new Heaven and the new Earth, and thus, in truth, Mary can be given the title of Noah's Ark. God punished the wicked human race with the universal deluge while in certain manner, He created a New Heaven and a New Earth in the Ark of Noah in what it signifies.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, confirm the doctrine of the most erudite Saint Mary Jesus of Agreda, when she magisterially explains the truth on the fulfillment, in the fullness of time, of the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth. And this is accomplished first when the Divine Soul of Mary is conceived through Her parents on earth, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim. With the Conception and the Birth of Mary according to flesh and blood, we have the creation of the New Earth. And since Mary is the Mystical City of God, when this Earth materialises, it attracts with magnet of love the creation of a New Heaven, which is the Incarnation of the Word in Her Most Pure Womb, by the Work and Grace of the Holy Ghost.  As this New Earth is the Mystical City of God, and as there has come to this City the New Heaven, Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Human Nature, intimately united with the Divine Nature, since He is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, - immediately, with most vehement love, He claims the presence of the Father and of the Holy Ghost, since, being one only true God, they, the Divine Persons, are inseparable. In this way, the virginal and most pure Womb of Mary becomes the Temple and Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity, since She is the Mystical City of God.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, in agreement with the same doctrine of the most erudite Saint Mary Jesus of Agreda, confirm that, among other meanings, the New Jerusalem is the Most Holy Virgin Mary.  Mary is the New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven like a city within walls and well fortified, with great fortified towers and twelve gates. The 12 gates are the 12 stars that form Mary’s Crown. They signify, among other things, the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 Apostles, the 12 fruits of the Holy Ghost, the Most Holy Trinity and the 9 Angelic Choirs, the 12 Articles of Faith, and many, many more. This New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven, is clothed in the sun. The Sun is Christ, Whose own merit, for being God, inundates His Most Holy Mother with Light, and such are Her sublime prerogatives. This New Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven has the crescent moon under Her feet, - signifying, among other things, Her powerful light, as Morning Star, to shine in the darkness. This New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven, signifies the Woman announced in Genesis Who crushes the head of the Serpent, the infernal dragon. This New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven with the crescent moon under Her feet signifies also that Mary is a sure bulwark against every kind of heresy. It would be interminable to speak of the New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven since, concerning Mary, sufficient has not yet been said.

We, as cantor of the glories of Mary, pledge Our word that We will dedicate Our Pontificate to the exaltation of the glories of Mary in order that, as She becomes known, She may change the face of the earth. And, as when We pray to the Holy Ghost, We invoke Him to come to vivify and renew the face of the earth, as also We beseech the White Dove, the Divine Mary, that She too come and renew the face of the earth, - and thus this Pair are inseparable. The

two Doves, hovering over the face of the earth, continue changing, preparing and straightening the ways of the Lord.  The Divine Mary is the Precursor of Our Lord Jesus Christ in His return to earth. Therefore, the Holy Ghost and the Divine Mary are preparing the absolute Reign of Christ on earth after His return. To this end there will take place beforehand the Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as prelude to the arrival of Antichrist, the final persecution of the Church, the destruction of Antichrist by the breath of Christ, the Second Coming of Our Lord, and the establishment on earth of the Messianic Kingdom, with the complete triumph over Satan and all his followers, the demons. In this Kingdom there will be true peace, since the demon, Satan, the ancient serpent, with the whole of his tail of infernal stars, has been chained in the pool of sulphur for eternity of eternities, never again to tempt men.  In this Kingdom of Peace, there will be no death, since death will have been totally conquered. There being no death, the inhabitants, after a long period on earth, will be taken up to Heaven without knowing the corruption of the flesh. In this glorious Messianic Reign on earth, there will no longer be warfare, no one will dispute over territories, nations and countries will not be necessary, we will live perfectly content in whatever part of the world, without any desire or longing for any other part or nation or region, since all the earth will be ruled directly by Our Lord Jesus Christ as absolute King, and by the Divine Mary as Queen. There will be no desert areas, since in all the world there will be abundant vegetation and everything necessary for mankind. No one would desire to go from one place to another, or acquire the land where he lives, since the Kingdom of Christ will include the whole earth, and His action will satisfy all the inhabitants.  Christ the King will be the joy of mankind. He will be seen with great frequency, and will appear in many places, as He did during the 40 days between the Resurrection and the Ascension. No one will suffer sickness or sorrows or affliction. No one will hate another, all will love one another in Christ. Work will not be a burden nor a curse but will be accomplished with joy and exultation.  The work itself, through the action of Christ, will augment the peace and joy of mankind. No one will work for greed, all rather will perform their proper work. All will have what is needful . No one will experience laziness. On the

contrary, work will be seen as a blessing from God, since Christ will let Himself be felt in the work. In certain manner, Christ will become more present in the work of each one. Inclemency of weather will not cause distress. There will be neither cold nor heat, not that these will not exist, but rather they will not be felt. The earth everywhere will receive dew at night, for the growth of plants. There will not be troublesome rain.  The dew will be timely and will cause no damage. The animals will not hurt anyone, not even the animals that today we call wild beasts. There will

prevail the Franciscan ideal of calling each thing as brother or sister. The dove will be as lovely as the hyena. The dog will be as much brother as the lion. The wolf will be as much brother as the panther. Men and animals will act fear one another.  The presence of God will be the delight of the inhabitants of the earth. This presence will be felt by all and all will rejoice in contemplating the joy of other inhabitants of the earth and the graces the Lord distributes; and no one will feel envy towards his neighbor.  Sins of the flesh will not exist, and married life will be in harmony

with the Divine plans in the creation of the first pair. They lost this grace because they disobeyed the Creator.  The inhabitants of the earth will multiply beyond all expectation, until it reaches the number decreed by God.  All sins will have disappeared from the face of the earth, since the time for the tempter to tempt men is come to an end. Though all will love God, there will be different degrees of love. One who loves God to a lesser degree, will still do so with perfect love.  And so begin the ascending degrees of love.  According as each one has loved God, will be his degree of

glory in Heaven, - since all is measured by love.  All this that is to come, so admirable and wonderful, was the plan of God for men since Creation, which Adam and Eve lost by disobedience. In this Messianic Kingdom on earth, the inhabitants will have infused knowledge, just as did our first parents, although they lost it by sin.

It would be never ending to speak of this sublime question of the Kingdom of Christ on earth. We have only mentioned a tiny part of the great reality. Later, We shall teach more about the Parousia and the Kingdom of Christ on earth.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, wish, in the present Document, to treat the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  We confess that it is with fear and trembling that We enter this terrain, since We would desire to possess a great intellect and poetic gifts in order to be able to speak on this sublime mystery of Faith. We shall try to explain several questions on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, with those few or many talents God may freely have given Us. We shall try to be brief in this section on the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar, since others, with better pens, have written about so sublime a mystery.

We avail Ourselves of the Present Document to proclaim several dogmatic definitions on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in which is perpetuated the Sacrifice of Golgotha.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, with the Authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, with that of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and of Our own, solemnly and infallibly declare, proclaim and teach the following truth of Faith. Namely:

The essential parts of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass are:

The Consecration of the two species, the Communion of the celebrant, and the Offertory. These are essential parts in the sense that, if one of these be lacking, there is no sacrifice.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, with the Authority of Our Lord Jesus Chris!, with that of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and of Our own, solemnly declare, proclaim and teach the following:

If anyone date to deny that any one of these three parts is essential, let him be anathema.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach the infallible doctrine that the Consecration of both species is the supremely essential part, and that the other two are essential, not in symbol or semblance, but in true reality.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach infallibly that the Consecration must be of both species, whereby Calvary is vividly represented, in that the Blood was separated from the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is, as well, certain doctrine that the particle which at the fraction of the Consecrated Host is mingled in the Blood signifies and vividly represents the Resurrection.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, declare the impossibility of transubstantiation by transmission or contact of one species with the other. In order to have the Sacrificial reality in the supremely essential part, one must under obligation consecrate both the bread and the wine. To be sure, the words of Consecration over the bread effect the Transubstantiation into the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who becomes present integrally, with His Blood, Soul and Divinity. If one omits the words of Consecration over the wine, it continues to be only wine. In order that the wine undergo transubstantiation, the Priest must pronounce the words of the formula for the Consecration of the Chalice,. It remains quite clear that there is no transubstantiation by transmission or contact.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach infallibly that the celebrant must receive the sacramental species in order to effect the destruction of the Victim, without which destruction there is no Sacrifice.  This truth is most wisely supported by Holy Mother Church when, in Her discipline, She ordains that if a celebrant sickens or dies after the Consecration, another Priest must continue, even an excommunicate, if there be no other available.  Through this wise discipline can be understood that this part of the Mass is essential to the Sacrifice, inasmuch as the Church would not without reason impose such a discipline, seemingly absurd, - as to require even an excommunicated Priest to celebrate.  If it were not an essential part, there would be no such grave obligation to receive the sacramental species.  This imperative obligation makes it clear that it is essential to the Sacrifice.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, declare infallibly that receiving the sacramental species by the celebrant is of Divine Law, since the Divine Master, Our Lord Jesus Christ, taught this when at the Last Supper He instituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, declare infallibly that the Offertory is an essential part of the Sacrifice.

We call to mind that the Offertory of the Latin Tridentine Mass of Saint Pius V offers the light to understand that it is an essential part of the Sacrifice. In the prayer of the Offertory are spoken the words, ‘this immaculate host,’ entreating the Heavenly Father to receive it as an acceptable and pleasing Sacrifice. The Church, who has composed the Holy Tridentine Mass in most wise manner could not have used the words, 'this immaculate host’ if they referred to mere bread. The bread could not be immaculate if it did not become the Host that is the Propitiatory Victim perpetuating Calvary.

For this reason, in the "Novus Ordo Missae" (the "new" Mass), the true Offertory was abolished, substituting a prayer of presentation of gifts, fruit of the earth and of the hands of men.

We remind you, most dear children:

The heresiarch Luther abolished the Offertory, substituting prayers similar to these of the "New Mass."  Without any doubt, the “New Mass" of 1969 is a Lutheran supper and not a sacrifice. Therefore they call it banquet, agape, or celebrating the Eucharist, celebrating the liturgy, etc.

We recall the discipline of Holy Mother Church, establishing:

If the celebrant becomes gravely ill or dies, and the Priest who replaces him does not know at which part the Mass was interrupted, he must make the Offertory mentally.

This discipline shows that it is essential.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach that, in the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, the Lord performed the Offertory, although this is not recorded in the Gospels. However, this truth appears indirectly in Sacred Scripture and is confirmed by several important and holy mystics and doctors.

We teach, as Universal Doctor of the Church, that In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ in His prayer made the offering of Himself as Propitiatory Victim to the Eternal Father, reaffirming this offering in the words: "Thy will be done, not mine.”   And if that were little, all His life on earth was a continual Offertory.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, with the Authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and of Our own, solemnly declare, proclaim and teach:

In the prayer (of the Canon of the Mass), 'Supra quae propitio. . .,’ when naming the High Priest Melchisedech, the same Angel is designated who is mentioned in the following prayer, ‘Supplices te rogamus, omnipotens Deus; jube haec perferri per manus sancti Angeli tui. . .’

We teach, as Universal Doctor of the Church, the infallible doctrine that this Angel, charged with bearing the Sacrifice to the Altar in Heaven, is Christ Himself, - as similarly, We teach infallibly that the mysterious Personage, the High Priest Melchisedech, is the Second Person Himself of the Most Holy Trinity.

We remind you, most beloved children:

When Sacred Scripture speaks of Melchisedech, there appears no genealogy.  He comes without beginning and without end, and thus He appears as someone eternal, - which could not be said of a mere mortal. This High Priest Melchisedech appears and disappears mysteriously in Jerusalem. The sacrifice He offers is of bread and wine, and His Priesthood is eternal; His Priesthood is distinct from the Levitical Priesthood. The Patriarch Abraham offers tribute to Melchisedech, and so forth.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, with the Authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with that of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and of Our own, solemnly declare, proclaim and teach the following:

If anyone dare to deny the Eternal High Priest Melchisedech is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, let him be anathema.

If anyone dare to deny that the Angel Mediator that bears the Victim to the Altar of Heaven is Christ Himself, let him be anathema.

We, with the Authority with which We are vested, ordain that henceforth it is obligatory for all Priests to change the hitherto called minor elevation into a high elevation, maintaining the Sacred Host in vertical position over the Chalice.

We, since the first Mass We celebrated, have done this, urged or inspired by God, and having in ecstacy seen this elevation as high and not low.

We remind the faithful that this was customary in former centuries, and was altered when the elevation at the Consecration was introduced.

We, as Universal Doctor of the Church, teach infallibly that this second elevation vividly represents the acceptation of the Sacrifice by the Eternal Father, as also the Angel who bears the Victim to the Altar of Heaven.

We teach as well the infallible doctrine that this sound elevation vividly represents the glorious Ascension of the Lord into Heaven after the Resurrection. It also represents the descent of His Second Coming with great power and glory. Hence the urgent necessity that this elevation be high in order to be seem and adored by all the faithful in representation of that day when their enemies will become a footstool under their feet.

Given in Seville, at the Apostolic See, 22^nd October, Feast of Christ Reparator, in the Year of Our Lord MCMLXXIX.
