Father Nicholas Gruner, RIP
Father Nicholas Gruner, RIP
April 29: It is my sad duty to announce the sudden death of Father Nicholas Gruner
He died suddenly late today of a heart attack while working at his Fatima Center office.
At the moment, I do not know more than this. Please re-visit our page for updates.
And please remember Father Gruner in your prayers, a good friend and a true Catholic Crusader.

O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, Father Nicholas Gruner, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the Altar, and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labors. This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our Lord. Amen.

Yes it is sad, :( for us! But I am so Happy for him :)
We have now a most powerful and devoted ally in Heaven!!
It is to me a sign things will be going south quite
quickly. And Fr, Gruner was given the best seat of all to
help and intercede for us poor wretches still left in this
veil of tears. I don't believe Fr. Gruner was spared anything
to me he suffered so much to an extent we cannot fathom.
He was Her chosen vessel he was Our Mother's son. And
he fulfilled his mission well. Now it is still up to each of us
to keep spreading the Fatima message to help convert sinners.
Eternal rest grant unto Father Gruner O Lord, may he rest in
peace. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Alley, you are so right. This article on this website reveals some of what Fr. Gruner suffered in Our Lady's service:

I had met him several times at conferences he gave near South Bend, Ind. He spoke with such clarity and love for the
Queen of Heaven to honor her requests for the consecration, that you knew he was a holy priest. He himself lived very
humbly and frugally...wearing patched up cassock and meager meals. He gave his all for the honor and glory of Our
Lord and for his beloved Queen. We pray that he was received in heaven as a "good and faithful servant" and is in
the presence of the Blessed Trinity and all the angels and saints!

I just found this yesterday. It's an archive of Fr. Gruner's old radio shows.

Father Paul Kramer has finally spoken on the death of his dear friend and colleague Father Gruner:
The curial mafia in Rome are surely pleased to hear of the demise of their nemesis, Fr. Nicholas Gruner. They would not be pleased, but in fear and trembling if they understood the providential design of the divine Wisdom; their "gladness shall be turned into mourning" (Baruch 4:34): God has withdrawn Our Lady's messenger -- the "tempus acceptabile" (2 Cor. 6:2), in which God gave them the "dies salutis", i.e., the time of opportunity to repent, is over. The messenger of penance and reconciliation is withdrawn -- the "tempus acceptabile" will now be followed by the "dies irae" -- the "great and terrible day of the Lord" ( magnus enim dies Dominiet terribilis valde et quis sustinebit eum - Joel 2:11) - "11 And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it?"
A fear and trembling thought for those whom he addresses I would think.

So true Joseph.
Joseph Wilson said:We must all do penance and make reparation for our sins and those in Rome.

Still Father Kramer's words remind me of a story one of the sspx priests told some years ago which happened in the Phillipines.
He said that many years ago ( I forget the exact number of years but it was something like 70 or 80) a priest was offering Mass on a Sunday and it was in a fishing village there. It was interrupted by someone saying that there was a lot of fish to be had that day and the fisherman at the Mass left to get their share.
The priest was justifiably angry and went out to where they were fishing and cursed the waters and from that time on for the next 70 or 80 years there was no fish to be had at that spot.
Then one day some 8 or 10 years ago one of the sspx priests wanted the men of that village to go on an Ignatian Retreat. He knew about the curse and told them that if they went on retreat he would lift the curse.
They went, he lifted the curse, blessed the waters and the fish came back.
For some reason Father Kramers words bring me to mind of the first priest who cursed the waters. A fear and trembling statement for those whom he addresses. May they all find the Lord and do His will+ And may we do penance for our sins and convert to Our Lord God with all our hearts+

'And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.' - St. Matthew 3:1
I recently returned from Rome, where I went to attend the February installation of the new cardinals. But while I was there, something unexpected happened - something soul-shaking! - that I did not expect!
I spoke with Father Gabriel Amorth, the world's most famous living exorcist. His words shook me as few things ever have!
Father Amorth told me that we have but a SHORT TIME left before the chastisements predicted by Our Lady of Fatima begin to rip our world apart in ways we can hardly imagine!
HOW LONG? LESS THAN 8 MONTHS!
Father Gabriel Amorth told me that unless the consecration of Russia is performed - AS OUR LADY ASKED! - by the end of October 2015, the dark prophecies of Fatima may well come to pass any day after that!
Why did Father Gabriel Amorth tell this to me? So that Our Lady's Apostolate will raise its voice - as never before -
TO SHOUT THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
And to do this, we must stand together. We must marshall all of our resources, all of our strength, and
WAKE THE WORLD FROM SLEEPWALKING TO ITS DOOM!
There are no accidents. All is Providence! Father Amorth is, at 85, still the chief exorcist of Rome. He has performed tens of thousands of exorcisms and written several books on the subject. He was the handpicked successor of Father Candido, his famed saintly predecessor who himself had special spiritual gifts. Father Amorth knows we are in the final battle with satan and the time is short.
I have met and spoken to Father Amorth many times over the years. This is the first time he has ever told me in plain language how much time we have left - exactly - before the manifest chastisements of the world could begin!
...
In His loving mercy, Our Lord has already given our generation many chances to turn from evil and falsehood before we bring about our own destruction.
BEFORE HE CHASTISES, OUR LORD ALWAYS WARNS US IN THE WORDS OF HIS PROPHETS AND SAINTS!
In the spiritual desert of our time, Our Lord has sent us - A MOST DIRE WARNING! - from one even more exalted in the hierarchy of Heaven than John the Baptist!
How important is the Message of Fatima?
OUR LORD CHOSE - HIS MOTHER - TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA!
Let us keep this fact squarely in front of us whenever we consider this message! IT IS THE MOTHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO SPOKE TO US AT FATIMA! Would Our Lord have sent His Mother to us if the message had not been of the greatest importance!?!
...
Can Our Lord, who loves and honors His Mother above all creatures, be pleased by the way Her Message has been received by His Church? By His ministers? Imagine how you would feel were your mother to be dishonored, slighted, even insulted!!!
OUR LORD'S WRATH MUST BE GREAT - AND GROWING!!! AND EACH DAY THAT OUR LADY'S WORDS ARE IGNORED BRINGS US CLOSER TO A CHASTISEMENT TERRIBLE BEYOND IMAGINATION!
Truly, the Church's leaders, by failing to obey Our Lady and consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, have placed the world - and billions of souls! - at risk!
...
WE HAVE TO WARN THE WORLD!
...
Father Amorth's words should resound in our hearts. We must act now. The clock is ticking!
Yours in Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
Father Nicholas Gruner
