Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette, the most beautiful flower of the Hapsburg family was cruelly abused by her Republican jailers before she surmounted the platform to the jeering of a multitude with wavering steps, slightly trembling, as Hillaire Belloc describes her for posterity. Her once beautiful auburn hair disheveled and matted, yet she walked with the pitable dignity of a woman who'd been cruelly beaten but was not defeated. The Republican organs of propaganda had whipped the crowd into a frenzy of hate for this woman and she was condemned to die without proof, stripped of her children who'd later be murdered and preceeded in death by her beloved husband, the King.

The youthful courage of this gentle and sweet woman will be remembered in eternity and her noble death will be remembered long after the lies told about her have receeded like a bad dream.

And she forgave France, as did her spouse.

I visited her house a few weeks ago, ran through her gardens and rowed a boat down her grand canal! It took her poor husband 7 years to consummate the marriage.

She, and most, if not all, of the martyred Catholic French were wearing the Brown Scapular ofOur Lady of Mt. Carmel. Their executioners termed it "an anti revolutionary sign."

Voila, exactement. This is precisely why all is not lost for France today, their simple act of forgiving France means The Holy Kingdom of France will again receive the Davidic Bourbon ruler, had they not forgiven France, it would have ended forever for France.
All power to rule flows through the descendant David, period, end of story. This is why when he (Great French Catholic Monarch) returns, all rulers on the earth will submit to him and his holy rule because he is descended from David. Even many perfidious Jews will see, understand and convert at that time but not all of course, not until after Antichrist. Lord let me live in the time of the Great Holy Monarch.

My wife and I before we were married in 2007 had a picnic in the field just behind her house. It was good to be close to the home that made this beautiful saint happy while on earth.
