WE NEED NUNS, TOO!

JM+JM

Hi my dear friends, family and acquaintances,

Happy Presentation of the Best Mother in heaven and earth ❤

Will you help my companion and I make Our Lady’s dream a reality? Many of you already know that my name is Jade Banks, I am 31 years old, and my companion is Aflavia Diltz, 26 years old.

I am reaching out to spread the word and humbly asking for help and prayers! We are seeking to find a priest, who celebrates strictly the Latin Mass, preferably the pre-1955 sacraments, who can act as our Father superior, bless our way of life as Carmelite Hermitesses, smothered in Mary, in Her Holy Habit, in the Marian Vow. There are only two of us; we do not desire to create a community, but simply wish to live the same shared rule together, but separate with the same mission (Frodo and Samwise). Our current goal is to live this hidden life in Northern California High Sierra Mountains, if possible, where we might be able to obtain potential property for Aflavia and I, and a space for said priest(s). Aflavia and I simply wish to live in a single hermitage with two rooms, a kitchen and a place to pray the Carmelite 1938 Divine Office, on or near the Mass. We as women know our limitations and desire to be protected and led by an orthodox and charitable Father who believes in our hidden mission.

We make absolutely no secret that we desire to live totally INDEPENDENT of the counterfeit synodal “church” that Our Lady of Fatima warned about in 1917. To be in union with the counterfeit church is NOT to be in “communion with Rome” (as we so annoyingly hear; that’s a synodal talking point by the way), but being in union with Robert Prevost’s counterfeit “church” is actually “union with Babylon”, and the Book of the Apocalypse tells us that in order “not to partake in her sin” we must “depart from her.” This isn’t hard… yet even the sheep lack courage to fight for the truth and choose rather to seek validation from a world that crucified a Perfect Man. As Father Paul Kramer so brilliantly told me, “when the rule of law breaks down it is necessary to operate independently” because “it is better that GOD be obeyed.”

For the last six years, since having departed Carmel of JMJ, I have humbly kept to the hidden life with my only exposure being the Latin Mass and confession. My family has generously sheltered my vocation and in this period of waiting, expectation, healing and preparation I have never given up on being Christ’s bride, and I never will. I will choose none other than the God-Man as my Bridegroom. During this time I have had about 15 opportunities of religious life open up, only for Our Lord to close the door (sometimes slam it in my face 🙄) and keep me on the current path of becoming a Carmelite Hermitess. When I met Aflavia it was a match made in heaven. We have the same shared goal: we wish to offer our very lives for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as Christ’s brides, without compromise of the Mass, Papacy OR the great vow of Charity. I have created a sort of brochure, if you will, of what Aflavia and I are seeking for any priest who desires or believes they are called to be part of this mission for Our Lady. You can read about it all on our website below, as well as purchase a copy of our rule; you can also subscribe for updates:

I started an Etsy shop, where I create holy cards, on the feast of the Magdalen over 5 years ago, as my form of “hidden” work during this time and I wish to carry it over into life as a Carmelite as our form of not being idle. I am so thankful that this shop dedicated to Mary’s 5th Principle wound of making acts of reparation to Her Sacred Images, called ArtForTheSorrowfulHeart, has reached over 3,000 sales with so many kind reviews from Catholics all across America. Mary has indeed blessed this “work of the hands”:

This week, Aflavia and I have chosen to expand and open another shop where we sell candles, aprons, mugs, cups, matted prints and framed art. Perfect gifts for some early Christmas shopping:

Please feel free to spread the word and share our above links with anyone you think might be interested. Or please simply pray for us! That’s the best gift of all. God bless you, and just know that we greatly appreciate you taking the time to read this, pray for us or help us in any way you can. We understand that the Church is in a crisis, destined to enter her final passion, made triumphant in Mary’s victory predicted in Genesis. As my friend Mark so brilliantly told me: Genesis 3:15 about Mary crushing Satan’s head is linked to the rosary. Think about it… “3:15”. There are “3” mysteries and “15” decades. We are seeing Mary’s destiny unfold before our very eyes!

I think what many in the Church fail to remember is that the current state of religious life is very displeasing to God. Even if one devotes their whole life to prayer, but compromise is met either in the Mass or Papacy, it is tainted. This was the kind of sin the Israelites committed against Our Lord in Moses’ time. Today, as in most cases, even if the Law is met, charity is lacking, which makes it count as dung. Moses proves this single handedly, quite literally, when Josue is only victorious in battle because Moses, a faithful defender of God’s Laws, had his hands extended in prayer. When his arms were lowered, even a little, Josue started losing the battle. Remember, fellow readers, that God was ready to wipe out the Israelites for their sins of compromise, but Moses, faithful Moses, was the apple of God’s eye. It was Moses who urged God to remember His covenant to Abraham and his seed (the Church). This is all Aflavia and I wish to do for Mary on a daily basis, if given the chance, there is nothing we wouldn’t zealously do for Her! Even die.
