Mother of God

Yes, I think its true BC, things are moving fast. I was wondering if anyone has noticed anything unusual in many peoples behaviour in the last few months or maybe it is only here in Belfast or my imagination?

For instance last night as I was going to work in the hospital and was driving to work along a busy city road I was halted two crowds of young people busily beating each other with sticks in hand to hand fighting. There is a kind of desperation a sense of, 'somethings going to happen lets make the best of things'. The devil knows that heaven is about to intervene directly and like a cornered rat is leaving behind his disguise as they are useless now, hence things like direct attacks on Catholic Church's and the Catholic Faith.

I believe everyone now in their heart of hearts know that this era is coming to a dramatic close. For instance I saw videos of President Obama shortly after he took office and I have no doubt I saw great fear in his eyes and the same thing in the eyes of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Its as if everything, all history was coming to some kind of final conclusion.

Its as if the world around us were 'shivering'.

Padraig,
I am surprised at the number of marriages that are hitting the rocks especially as some of the pople I know in this ituation are prayerful people who have done great work for the Lord. Its shocking. Everybody seems to be complaining about the difficult husbands but none of them seem to realise that they too are being difficult. Satan is really gaining ground. A lot of prayer needed. I have felt especially fearful at times lately, waking up with a horrible feeling. I constantly hang on to my rosary beads and it gets me through. The little blue book is my life saver.

Mary

Mary, it's interesting you mention marriage. Jesus spoke of it in today's Gospel.
"It was also said,
Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.
But I say to you,
whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful)
causes her to commit adultery,
and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

It's a sad statement on our society how it views marriage, not as a sacrament, but as something that can be redifined or tossed aside. But Jesus spoke of the sanctity of marriage. another sign of our times.

Many of the structures and supports will come crashing down.
western civilization has abdoned the one true God for false illusions
and false idols.

The seven deadly sins surround us and are eating the heart out of western civilization.

Pride is at the heart of all sin; individual pride and societal pride.
We have built up a civilzatiion based on the glories of man. We have conquered
the atom and our DNA, we can tamper with the very essence of life and we glory in
the technological revolution. All will soon come crashing down.
Pride is also known as Vanity - all around we see the glorification of the body;
the cult of the body; the desire to look beautiful is paramount yet so many souls are corrupted
by mortal sin true and beauty is lost.

Envy is is a disordered desire and we see the clamour for 'celebrity status' ; everyone
desires their moment of glory.

Gluttony - there is an obesity epidemic yet children go hungry in Africa.
There is a binge drinking culture as many consusme inordinate amounts of alcohol
and our hospitals are full as a consequence. The police are stretched to the limit of
endurance to cope.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Pornography abounds.
Every perversion is permissable - GLTB; gay, lesbian, Transgender, bi-sexual sex -
perversion by any other name. And child abuse is rampant - Paedophiles are treated leniently
by the courts and demanding their rights.

Anger is manifested all around. Road rage, air rage.
Deliquent kids who have delinquent parents causing chaos in the
classrooms; teachers attacked even in primary grade; Children
killing children. Mothers killing the child in their wombs.
Hospital casualties are full of victims of crime.

Greed - greedy bankers, politicians, sportmen who desire wealth and then
more wealth. Money, money has become a god. Corruption, stealing and tax
evasion is rampant.

Sloth - laziness - many too lazy to kneel to say a prayer or get up
for Mass!!

One sense that we are on the edge of a precipise, a bit like Humpty Dumpty waiting
to be pushed off the wall!

I just noticed on of Jessica's messages which appears to have scriptural support {the Three days Darkness, I suppose}

'The time is coming when the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shine'.


Matthew 24:29 KJV Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Revelation 6:12 KJV And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Acts 2:20 KJV The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

Here's a clip with more scriptural references.....I notice by the way the Darkness comes at the END of the tribulation:

The Visions and Prophesies of Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais (19th century, France)

She had a vision of a dialogue between Our Lord and Lucifer and the latter said :

"I will attack the Church. I will overthrow the Cross, I will decimate the people, I will deposit a great weakness of Faith in hearts. There will also be A GREAT DENIAL OF RELIGION. For a time I will be MASTER of all things, everything will be under MY CONTROL, even Your temple and all Your people."

"Saint Michael says that Satan will have possession of everything for some time and that he will reign completely over everything ; that all goodness, Faith, Religion will be buried in the tomb. . . Satan and his own will triumph with joy, but after this triumph, the Lord will in His turn gather His own people and will REIGN and TRIUMPH OVER EVIL and WILL RAISE UP from the tomb the buried Church, the prostrated Cross. . . "

Marie-Julie saw that "there will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. CONFUSION will be everywhere..."

"All the works approved by the infallible Church will cease to exist as they are today for a time. In this sorrowful annihilation, brilliant signs will be manifested on earth. If because of the wickedness of men Holy Church will be in darkness, the Lord will also send darkness that will stop the wicked in their search of wickedness. . . "

On November 27, 1902 and May 10, 1904, Our Lord and Our Lady announced the conspiracy to invent the "New Mass":

"I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight. When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since Me. The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration.. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting Tthe kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH."

Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption... "
( January 4, 1884).

"The three days of darkness "... will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady. . . ." three days less one night."

"The earth will be covered in darkness»", says Our Lady on 20th of September 1882, "...AND HELL WILL BE LOOSED ON EARTH. Thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in My Power, to die of fear."

"During these three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible colour it will have in those days of punishment without dying at once... "

"The sky will be on fire, the earth will split... During these three days of darkness let the blessed candle be lighted everywhere, no other light will shine.... "

"NO ONE OUTSIDE A SHELTER.. will survive. The earth will shake as at the judgement and fear will be great. Yes, We will listen to the prayers of your friends ; NOT ONE WILL PERISH. We will need them to publish the glory of the Cross.... "(8th of December 1882)
.
" THE CANDLES OF BLESSED WAX ALONE WILL GIVE LIGHT during this horrible darkness. ONE CANDLE alone will be enough for the duration of this night of hell... In the homes of the wicked and blasphemers these candles will give NO LIGHT."

"And Our Lady states : "Everything will shake except the piece of furniture on which the blessed candle is burning. This will not shake. You will all gather around with the crucifix and my blessed picture. This is what will keep away this terror."

"During this darkness the devils and the wicked will take on THE MOST HIDEOUS SHAPES... red clouds like blood will move across the sky. The crash of the thunder will shake the earth and sinister lightning will streak the heavens out of season. The earth will be shaken to its foundations. The sea will rise, its roaring waves will spread over the continent..."

"THE EARTH WILL BECOME LIKE A VAST CEMETERY». The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground."

"Three-quarters of the population of the globe will disappear. Half the population of France will be destroyed." (Marquis de la Franquerie, Marie-Julie Jahenny)

This is also interesting; apparently the stock markets are going to crash in a one hour event:

My child, go forth and tell My people that it will be one single hour of events that will bring your financial institutions to a halt.

But I see back in December 2003 she had a vision that President Bush would be murdered.....and of course that never happened...

Thats a turn off

Padraig, these prophecies are unnerving. Do you have any more material relating to the following portion of the prophecy ...?

"I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight. When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period...

The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration.. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting Tthe kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH."

Marie Julie Jahenny of La Fraudais's prophesies are often used by ultra traditionalists to refer to the mass since Vatican ii the New Rite of Novus Ordo. They claim that the because of the words used render the consecration of the mass invalid and that the Pope himself is not a true Pope and neither are our Bishops. Therefore, they say that the bread and wine are not transubstantiated and do not become the body and blood of Christ. In addition to this Marie Julie's revelations are not approved by the Church . Because of this there is a tendancy to dump her.

But in fact I believe her prohesies may be true, not as regarding Vatican 2 but as regarding the emerging and coming schism within the Catholic Church. We have numerous people in the Church who are, effectively Protestants but continue to practice as though they are Catholics in good faith , but are not.

Thia is one of the main reasons why conversions are falling off and our Church's are becoming empty, because the fullness of the Faith is no longer taught from very many of our seminaries, Universities, schools, colleges and pulpits, more pf concern this New Protestantism has very, very, strong roots in our Religious Orders. This is much more dangerous than during the so called 'Reformation' when the various Protestant sects came right out in the open and marched away from Rome. In some sense their influence was greatly reduced by this in that their heresy was obvious. Not so now, when their poison was within. Our present Holy Father and Pope John Paul took a strong stand against this but there will come a time when the pay off from remaining within the Church will not equal that of going out to outright schism. One of the very first things these schismatics will do at the urging of the devil will be to rewrite the Order of the Mass so that the Consecration is invalidated as Marie Julie suggests.

I speculate that this schism will take place under a future Pope who will throw the gauntlet down to these new Protestants by insisting they conform to Orthodoxy. Perhaps by reinstiituting some kind of Oath as Saint Pope Pius 19th did. Its even possible Pope Benedict will do so:

'THE OATH AGAINST MODERNISM

Given by His Holiness St. Pius X September 1, 1910.

To be sworn to by all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries.

I . . . . firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day. And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:90), that is, from the visible works of creation, as a cause from its effects, and that, therefore, his existence can also be demonstrated: Secondly, I accept and acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion and I hold that these same proofs are well adapted to the understanding of all eras and all men, even of this time. Thirdly, I believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ when he lived among us, and that the Church was built upon Peter, the prince of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors for the duration of time. Fourthly, I sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport. Therefore, I entirely reject the heretical' .......

Its funny we should be writing about this . I woke up late yesterday and so had to go down to my ultra modern Catholic Parish Church yesterday to mass, something I avoid as much as a possibly can. The local PP must have been away on holiday and a member of a religious order said mass and preached the sermon. After listening a little while I placed me hands over my ears as what he was saying was pure poison especially on the Feast of Corpus Christi. Sadly hands over ears or not I could still hear what he was saying.

One of the things he said was that the purpose of the Renewal of Vatican 2 was to back to the 'pure' faith and practices of the primitive Church. This is pure Protestantism and exactly what the Protestant 'Reformers' wished to do. Thus the Traditions of the Church grown in wisdom and grace are discarded. So for instance if we follow such a model we ask ourselves the question, continually what did the Early Christians do?

Did they have statues? No So dump the statues.

Our Church has no statues.

Did they have religious pictures? No . So dump the pictures.

Our Church has no Holy Pictures.

Did they have devotional practices. No .

Our Church now has no devotional practices.

In fact in many respects my local Church is much more Protestant in many ways than very many Protestant Churches which have returned in many cases to Traditional Catholic Practices.

The Preacher highly praised our Church for its art and architecture. This not surprise me in the least.

Marie Julie was given a special scapular that you can hang in your home for protection during the terrible chastisment to come. I got one some years ago and I have it hanging up in my hallway. It is made in France by an order of nuns and you can get it here

Thomas,

A clear, concise 54-page book addresses this very issue. It was published by St. Andrews Productions in 1997.

The Prophecy of Daniel by Thomas W. Petrisko.

Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!

Hey Mario,

Thanks! I will be sure to get a copy of this book.

I saw the following posted on the "Words from Jesus" website today and it struck a chord with me:

8/2/09

My child, I want to share with you the importance of a soul coming to Mass in a state of grace. When a soul is in mortal sin and receives My Most Precious Body and Blood I am reduced again to the scourging at the pillar.

Oh how My heart suffers when a soul does not receive Me with great purity. When a soul receives Me in purity I then emanate great light from it for all the world to see for I am Jesus the light of the world.

Perhaps that is why we echo the words of the Centurion at Mass: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed."

Lord, forgive me for the times that I came to Mass and received you unworthily...

I admit to slight moments of panic often before receiving communion , for what a guest to welcome into my home!! May God have mercy. The only thing that gives me courage to go up for the host is His great love and mercy. I know He loves and wants very, very much to come.
