Announcing: The Feast of God the Father, December 31st
The Feast of God the Father
Creator of the Universe
To Be Celebrated Annually, December 31st
Beginning December 31, 2023
December 12, 2023
St. Joseph Partners
Over the course of two millennia, the Roman Catholic church has accumulated feasts honoring thousands of saints and occasions. The church however has chosen not to institute a feast honoring God the Father who has created the Universe and loves humanity with such fathomless depth that He sent His only son Jesus to die for mankind so that we may be reconciled.
Over the centuries countless believers attempted to address this injustice within the church calendar but all such efforts have been rejected by the bishops of the church. No justification is needed to institute such a feast honoring the Father, and no explanation is possible to have allowed such a wrong to have continued.
And so, standing on the ancient church principle of Vox Populi, the voice of the people, we sidestep the logjam of grace that is the church’s bishops and proceed with what the faithful have known is just and appropriate for millennia, initiating The Feast of God the Father to be celebrated December 31, 2023, for the first time and annually thereafter worldwide.
December 31st, the Seventh Day within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord Jesus is the last day of the calendar year, a fitting fulfillment of the words of our Savior who said, “The last shall be first” (Matt. 20:16). We seek to honor God the Father, Yahweh, Abba, whose greatness is of such unique measure that even Jesus from a young age cited that He Himself served the Father (Luke 2:49, John 17:4).
The timing of this feast may be more than coincidental with our Father who is a God of great precision. Consider that in 1777, George Washington claimed Heaven visited him and his troops in Valley Forge, rescuing our nation from what seemed a hopeless defeat. Exactly 246 years before Heaven’s rescue of Washington and the American colonists, the miracle of Guadalupe occurred with Heaven’s first rescue of the Americas in 1531. Perhaps better known as the greatest miracle since scriptures have been written, the Miracle of Guadalupe transformed Latin America from pagan worship with widespread human sacrifice to a Christian continent. The
Miracle of Guadalupe occurred 492 years ago today, and is still visible to visitors, still unexplainable by science and an historical remnant of the event that triggered the largest Christian conversion since Christ’s Ascension.
This year, 2023, marks the mirror opposite time frame from the Father’s rescue of George Washington and the Miracle of Guadalupe. 2023 marks yet another 246 years since Washington’s miraculous encounter as described by the Library of Congress. May this feast bring honor to the Father as He deserves, be a balm for His Heart amidst a world that offends Him so greatly and mark yet another rescue of mercy for America and the world from pagan religions and tyranny.
While St. Joseph Partners has no authority within the church hierarchy to initiate such a feast, we call upon the faithful worldwide to join us as we send our praise to Heaven, celebrating and blessing God the Father with prayer in our homes, places of work and individual parishes. The refusal of Catholic bishops to initiate this feast while proceeding with public celebrations honoring pagan gods such as Pachamama by the alleged bishop of Rome reveals the spirit of the bishops. The bishops’ refusal to end the abuse of children, the bishops’ refusal to lead our youth to an intimate relationship with our Savior Jesus through Bible study, their fostering of indifference towards Christ’s explicit command to celebrate the Eucharist (Luke 22:19), their choice to devastate vocations by their mismanagement of seminaries, the bishops’ removal of key teachings from scripture by Jesus, their deliberate isolationism of parish priests and their cancellation of faithful clergy who are spurring revival are just a few of the bishops’ rancid fruits that have ambushed the church in a manner akin to the devastating ambush at Pearl Harbor.
Collectively the bishops’ actions reveal their identity as the wolves in sheep’s clothing Christ warned believers to guard against. While clearly some bishops remain followers of Christ, a not insignificant number of today’s bishops are committed servants of satan. Our Savior was explicit, telling Christians that we will recognize these double agents of spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-20) not by their deceptive words but by these cancerous fruits (Matt. 7:16 and Matt.7:20).
Catholics must understand that the true faith of the Catholic church often stands in direct contrast to the teachings of the bishops. Catholics must also recognize that our obedience is to Jesus and not to our bishops. Whenever bishops or any authority within the church contradict Jesus, it is the duty of believers to disobey what clergy tell us. As Thomas Jefferson whose brilliant writings framed the establishment of the United States on principles aligned with those of the church succinctly articulated on his own personal seal:
“Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.”
We call out to the millions of Catholics who have understandably left the church in light of the hypocrisy and evil of our bishops. Rather than letting evil run you out of the church laughing at your departure, we invite you to send evil into conniptions, come back to the church, so that you may partake in the Eucharist and stand alongside us as we fight our bishops for the restoration of the church Jesus Himself founded.
For Catholics who may feel conflicted about opposing our bishops, realize that in addition to Christ Himself warning us that evil would seethe from church leadership, St. Paul wrote the same:
I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Acts 20:29
Such has been the perspective of many of the great Saints of the altar throughout history such as St. John Chrysostom:
There are [not] many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish."
It is also the shared perspective of countless saints who will one day be elevated to official Saints of the altar such as Rev. Fulton Sheen:
“Who is going to save the church? Do not look to the priests. Do not look to the bishops. It’s up to you [the laity].”
As well as Mother Angelica:
“I’ll blow the [EWTN global broadcast studio] up before I let you [Catholic bishops] get your hands on it.”
Catholics also need to understand that the USCCB is a failed modern experiment of unnecessary bureaucracy. Not only did the church grow and flourish without such regulation for centuries, but the concept of communist-style central planning that the USCCB exhibits stands in direct contrast to the age-old principals of subsidiarity in the church:
1883 The teaching of the Church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity, according to which “a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co-ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good.
1884 God has not willed to reserve to himself all exercise of power. He entrusts to every creature the functions it is capable of performing, according to the capacities of its own nature… The way God acts in governing the world, which bears witness to such great regard for human freedom, should inspire the wisdom of those who govern human communities. They should behave as ministers of divine providence.
1885 The principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism. It sets limits for state intervention. It aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies. It tends toward the establishment of true international order.
Believers, let us confess and repent from breaking Christ’s explicit command to us to avoid naivete:
“be as shrewd as serpents”
Matt. 10:16
The laity’s naivete has been the ammunition evil has used to ambush the church. The dumbing down of catholic laity by our bishops led to the exact outcome Christ predicted –
"You are [easily] deceived, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God."
For patriots who love their nation and are not inclined to make the effort or take to heart the need to volunteer for the church’s renewal with your focus on America first, let us recall from scripture as well as history that as societies disintegrated, the root cause was abandoning God’s commands. It was only when the church returned to God’s commandments that His grace proceeded from Heaven and the Lord rescued nations and believers from circumstances that seemed hopeless.
We ask our brothers and sisters in the Greek, Russian and Protestant churches to join us in praying and fasting for our victory in bringing about the restoration of the Roman Catholic church. May the Spirit descend upon us, bless our effort to renew Catholics’ intimacy with the Lord and bless our effort to imitate our Savior by driving the money changers and evil from our church leadership.
Please take a moment now and unite with us in prayer to honor the Father and ask the Father to return to our church, to America and to all of the nations in the world where believers repent and call out to Him. Let us honor the Father with joyous celebration and ask Him to reject our world’s leadership and again govern our land, rescuing His people. Let us honor Him as Creator of the Universe on December 31st:
PRAYER TO GOD THE FATHER, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE:
Heavenly Father, Yahweh, Abba, Creator of the Universe, we praise Your Holy Name. We bless You for Your magnificent design and handiwork that spans from corner to corner of this awe-inspiring universe of which you are Divine Architect. Amidst such immensity, Your love penetrates the tiniest crevices of each human heart overflowing with care about every detail in our lives. We thank you for your incomprehensible love for us, manifested most clearly through Your request of Your only son Jesus to die for us, restoring Your bond with humanity.
Abba, we return to you like prodigal children, repenting of our sins.
We ask you for the blessing of a renewed relationship with You that reaches the depths of intimacy just as You designed for us to enjoy while living under your care and protection.
Grant us the grace to hear Your Spirit gently guide us in every area of our lives. Allow us to savor Your presence in this life as You bring the deepest joys, peace, and meaning to each one of us. You are what our hearts long for. Dearest Father we have been fooled into believing that if we rejected Your commands, and that if we welcomed the pagan worldly gods of your fallen angel, that our inclusivity was love.
We repent of the sins of accepting false gods and rejecting your commands.
We invite You to return along with King Jesus and Your Spirit of wisdom to be sovereign over each of our lives, our church, over the United States of America, and over each nation in this world where believers call out to You.
Father just as the Jewish people overwhelmingly accepted Jesus, manifested as Israel laid out their palms and adored Him as He entered Jerusalem but were then deceived by the evil and intimidation of the Pharisees, we have been deceived by the evil of our bishops and government. We confess that You alone are the sovereign Lord. Father disregard any dismissive words and behavior You may receive from the Pharisees and Pilates of our day who try to keep You, King Jesus, and The Spirit from us. Your children call out to You – come and rescue us as a Father would rescue his children when in peril. Following in the footsteps of America’s founders as we have been unable to gain justice in the courts of humanity, we “Appeal to Heaven” and Your Divine court room of justice. Reveal Yourself once again as the Lord of Hosts, i.e., the Lord of the Armies, who rescues His children. You are most welcome with us.
Dear Father, we have asked the church’s bishops to institute a feast day honoring You. It is an injustice that your church, which has feasts for thousands of your believers has deliberately chosen not to have a feast day honoring You. Father covering ourselves in the blood of King Jesus, blood that has restored us to you, we push the USCCB, and other pagan and satanic worshipping church authorities across the world that have kept us from direct relationship with you, aside. With our prayer we enter into Your majestic throne room as sinful and unworthy children, laying palms at Your feet and adoring You as the earliest Jewish believers adored Jesus. Standing upon the millennia old tradition of Vox Populi, Voice of the People, as heirs to Your kingdom through King Jesus, we proclaim a feast in your honor, to be celebrated each year on December 31, the final day of the calendar year, saving You the greatest, for last each year.
Holy Spirit fill us with all your good gifts. Help us to praise the Father as He deserves with the love that He cherishes. Holy Spirit of Truth, help us to see ourselves as The Father sees us, and to want what He wants, embracing truth in every area of our lives. Bless the institution of this new tradition honoring the Father on December 31 each year that it may be celebrated in the hearts of believers across the world and bring you great joy and honor that spills into our lives every day of the year. We pray this in the sweet name of our savior, King Jesus.

Suggestions for honoring God the Father on December 31st.
If you desire as we do to deepen your relationship with the Father, experiencing intimacy with Him, and the blessings of abundance He bestows on those who submit to Him, we suggest:
1) Daily Repentance – Asking the Holy Spirit each day to both show us our sins and help us avoid them in the future so as not to offend the Lord any more with our behavior.
2) Daily Prayer – Resolve to not let another day of your life pass without carving out time to pray. We suggest we imitate our Savior by rising early in the day, praising the Lord with the first fruits of each day and reading scripture. We also suggest reciting the biblical meditation of the rosary, praying it to God the Father daily. Most importantly celebrate the Eucharist, the summit of all prayer whenever possible. We encourage all to respond as Jesus asks and “watch at least one hour with [Him]” in prayer daily. – Matt. 26:40
3) Weekly fasting – We maintain a detailed repository of information about fasting at www.StJosephPartners.com/fasting and encourage believers to fast weekly as 1st century Christians wrote all believers are obligated to do. Recall that before Catholic bishops re-wrote scripture in the 1960’s, clearly one of Jesus’ most important teachings for the ages was that fasting is necessary to overcome evil whenever it is strong as it is today. Jesus taught that prayer without fasting will lose every time evil is strong.
