I wonder..

Shocking. But not surprising. Universities have become paragons of leftist virtue signalling.
They have been taken-over. And now do not teach.
I really hope God enters the frey soon.

 

I do love that new Thread started by BrianK / garabandal! Well, I'm just a recent blow in really. I have not been posting lately as there's a lot of challenging stuff going on for me and my blood pressure is through the roof, my chest has been tight, plus my sleep and other issues are all over the place. I was told I was in danger of a stroke. I have been on BP medication for years. I started retaking some older medication last night which has a side effect of lowering BP, but it is still up this morning. I will book a doctors appointnent today.

A good friend who knows what's happening with me, told me to put the phone away for a few days. I dare say, contemplating Our Lady's messages to the 3 children of Fatima or the Garabandal seers would put one's BP up.

I am thankful for all the likes I received. Sometimes, when I step out of line, I get no likes, or maybe one out of charity - bless you. I suppose that feels like the stony silence and a long drag on the cigarette of miker's mom!

You see, it is in my nature to have question after question piled up, looking for answers. But it seems there is a balance to be struck in building up the faith of others in the Mystical Body of Christ, and airing one's questions which may have the contrary effect on the Faith of others (airing one's dirty linen in public).

Every day, as long as this 'today' lasts, keep encouraging one another. (Heb 3:13)

I was thinking about Padraig's comments on thousands coming to the forum in the future, and it reminded me of Sr. Anne of Yahweh, OCD. Does anyone follow her?

My impression of her is that she borders on being a genius and has great spiritual gifts too. She was a Carmelite but became laicised so that she could set up a new order - Ordo Mater Dei (OMD). The charism of this new Order is to be precisely what Padraig was talking about - a kind of spiritual first responders order.

All of the orders in the Church are based on one of the 6 Rules in existence. E.g. Rule of St. Albert, Rule of St. Benedict etc. Sr. Anne was given instructions to set up a completely new Rule for these 'end times' or 'end of the time'. Actually, the instructions for the setting up of the new Rule were given by Our Lady of La Salette.

One of the distinguishing and highlighting features of the new Order propsed by Sr. Anne, lay apostle, is that it is specifically for lay people although Religious can also be a part of it.

Unfortunately, after years of preparation, Sr. Anne's application to be given faculties for her new Rule and Order under a Bishop has been unsuccessful. I do pray that she will be given faculties someday by a good Bishop. Perhaps it is not surprising that she is having such difficulty obtaining faculties: Our Lady of Salette had some very tough things to say about the state of the Church - just like Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Garababdal, Our Lady of Akita. Bishops nowadays just do not want to hear such things.

InVeritatem, praying that your BP lowers. I had to stop watching the news because I was getting anxiety by seeing all the evil and chaos going on. Went to my doctor and he put me on BP meds because my BP & heartrate was up.

Since there is so much i cant control, I try to live by this:

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Phillipians 4:8

 

I was down with the nurse with my blood pressure last week, so I sympathise. She told me blood pressure rises naturally with age so and not to worry. But yours sounds a little more worrying, prayers.

I started seeing flashing lights in my left eye a few days ago and my Doctor sent me for an emergency appointment to the Optician. He did a big long check and said it was not my eyes. He thought is was from maybe the brain.

My Doctor rang me three times during the day and thinks to leave it to see what happens. Falling to pieces appears to part of growing old. Who knows? May God's Holy Will be done forever and ever.

I have never heard of Sr Anne but will look her up. It is my impression that the more authentic a seer is they more trouble they get landed with.

I would not worry to much about likes or dislikes, that is the road to madness.

 

Yes, falling to pieces appears to be a part of growing old. Prayers for IV and Padraig.

 

The flashing lights is caused by vitreous detachment. Happens mostly to near sighted people with astigmatism. I’ve had it many times. It can be startling. If it gets really bad get it checked out it could cause a tear in your retina. Otherwise just irritating.

 

I have seen rainbow like flashing lights several times. It is frightening when this happens, I thought I was having a stroke, or maybe a detached retina. I was sent to a neurologist who ordered an MRI of the brain. My diagnosis was migraine with aura, and "normal brain shrinkage" which is age related. So now I know I am not "playing with a full deck" . I do not have astigmatism or suffer from headaches, so go figure. I was prescribed medication to take when this occurs, and now I have to see a retina specialist, and neurologist annually.

 

Good info, thank you Katfalls and Jo.

So now I know I am not "playing with a full deck" .
LOL

 

It is certainly no comfort to be told that your brain is shrinking.

 

I stopped watching the news (and TV generally) quite some time ago. I'm in the process of giving up the radio, listening to it less and less. They seem to thrive on instilling fear.
Oh, and you're right about Brian's thread. Its very interesting.. and much needed, I feel.

 

Thanks Brian. This is exactly what it looks like, prisms of light. I would not want to be driving. I’ve also noticed that it happens when I am stressed. Fun times.

 

Greta, like so many woke comes from a wealthy Liberal family who support her to the hilt. How else could she afford to travel the world as she does? I suspect she was tapped on the shoulder by this by the media as a good face.

I see she got arrested recently for protesting against wind farms. Its like falling down a rabbit hole and disappearing forever trying to follow this stuff. No one seems concerned about the poor girls mental health in all this. If I was her father I would be very,very, very concerned.

All this cannot be good for the poor girl.

 

The Optician said it was far too frequent to be this. He thought it was coming from maybe my brain.

I was praying about it to my angel guardian and the sudden though came to my mind that it might be moisturiser which I slap onto my face running into my eyes and causing a reaction.

But anyway I'm not worried, the Doctor said to call him if it got worse. So I'm happy to leave it be.

All this reminds me of a medical series from Scotland called , 'Dr Finlay's casebook which we used to watch years ago. It was written by a very devout Catholic and always had a great moral message.

I wonder if anyone remembers it?

 

Anyone can tell just by looking at her that she is not well. No one seems to care.

 

I will need to watch that this does not turn into a medical forum.

One thing I would advise anybody who is unwell is not to Google your symptoms. Goggle will place you in a coffin quicker than an undertaker.

 

But one thing about the Miracle when it comes which I observed and I believe is mentioned in Scripture. There will be a pause as though an intake of breath when everything will stop. Like say, a rabbit that sees a snake or a deer staring into a cars head lights. A feeling of,

'This is it!'

 

This looks just like what I have been experiencing for years. In my case it is migraine auras. Can be quite annoying, especially when it happens right before I am about to read at Mass.
