I wonder..

I just wonder what this website will be like when the miracle comes and the
Its gonna be exciting. Where do you think youll be on the day of the miracle?

 

In Garabandal? 'Twould be wonderful!

 

Same place I was on 9/11 - at work without radio/ computer or cell phone service not understanding what is going on, hearing only snippets of hurried conversations and trying not to panic.

 

If I am in the same place as I have been shown in my dreams, I will be at home. If when it comes it is the same as my dreams, it will be knock down awesome. But I pity people without Faith who encounter such things. How will they handle them? They will have nowhere to place them in their minds and hearts.

This is why Our Lady has spoken of the great need to convert now, whilst there is time rather than waiting. Sometimes there is no time for waiting.

The events to come are fully described in the Book of the Apocalypse.

 

I think I’d be at home. My instinct would be to get to confession or if I had been recently I would want to pray by the Blessed Sacrament, especially for souls who need it in my family and beyond. Sharing on MOG would be great, especially as we would likely be needed to help others come to terms with what they experienced

 

I don't think we will need to help each other so much as the poor, poor people who come here. When they come we will hardly ever see each other again here except though PM's

I have checked ,as far as I know this little place can take many , many thousands of new comers without crashing. Each of us will have many thousands to help. Even to teach people how to say an Act of Contrition will be a huge, huge good.

Just to teach someone how how to say a, 'Hail Mary,' a great, great thing.

All Catholic sites will be overwhelmed. But the important thing is that we ourselves not be overwhelmed.

It will be like when Noah's Ark finally landed on Mount Arafat.

This is why Our Lady asked that this site be created. Not for now; but for then.

 

Padraig, so beautifully said!
Can you share how this forum was started?

 

I need the Warning to come soon. The sins that surround the society I’m in are horrendous. Where I live there is great faith, but, great apostasy, as well. It’s become so normal for female gay couples to become pregnant with anonymous donors. These wealthy grandparents have set such a terrible example by accepting their daughters’ decisions without a fight. So sad.

 

I hear ya.

 

I was in the doctor's office a few years ago waiting for him to give me a steroid shot, and he pulls out a photo of himself and his "partner" with an empty baby stroller in front of them. He said they were waiting for the surrogate to give birth in a few months. He glanced at me, waiting for me to ooh and ah. Well, the nurse did.

 

I probably would have walked out.

 

Hi Brian - this strikes me as a great idea - perhaps we could start a new thread on this. Would be a useful summary for family members and friends.

 

Yep. Sounds like a good way to advise new people as to what they've just gone thru. Instead of having to constantly post it to every new member...

 

Well it really started by accident.

There was a young theologian from Florida called Ron Conte who had his own website, of which I and a think a few on the forum now were members. I took a notion on writing a story of my conversion and meeting Our Lady. It was called, 'On meeting Mary and learning to pray.' It got picked up and was headlined on, 'Spirit Daily' and was well received.

However a few weeks later I happened to mention something Padre Pio had said. Padre Pio said that at the point of death that folks are given a final chance to choose Jesus. Ron Conte took this badly and said it was heresy. That after death we are judged and sent to our fate. However what Padre Pio was saying that at the point of death, on our death beads, so to speak we are offered a last chance. Not after death.

Anyway after getting booted of and it made me pray to Our Lady about it and in prayer she said I should start a web site, a Home of Mary. She also indicated I should try to be open there about my own prayer life and mystical experiences. I very much did not want to so. But she was very insistent and I could not say no.

At first the website was very,very small, perhaps about ten ten or so people. It is still pretty small, but a lot bigger than then.

One thing I have noticed about it is that it tends to attract very good Catholics who are people of prayer. There are very few big arguments or rows and it seems to be a very loving peaceful place. It is a kind of family place were some people stay many many years. In other words it shows strong signs of a Marian presence.

Another good sign is that I notice people who I suspect are real saints coming and going and this again is a good sign.

One time I got an email from someone in the know who worked at Congress one time who said certain members of the Clergy and Hierarchy knew of the forum and rated it very highly. I have no idea how true this is. However I have no idea if this is true or not; this was before Pope Francis so things may have changed a lot. In Ireland I know it has some fans.

Anyway the forum plows on. Many, many people say it has done a lot of good and has even obtained conversions. So again , as Jesus said, by their fruits you shall know them.

May the winds of the Holy Spirit blow this little home of Mary where ever He will.

 

Its a tough call. None of us know what we will do til we are in the situation. Silence can speak volumes I think.

 

St.Faustina spoke of a few chances to eternal life on the death bed. Our Lord is very merciful. I believe that with all my heart.
