Byron, Does this really follow along with what Mari Loli stated, “God doesn’t want this to happen so quickly “? I’m not saying that I understand these prophecies better than anyone else but it seems to me that God will act to prevent the destruction of the Church that Cardinal Mueller is warning us about. Again, this is just my opinion. I also have not ruled out 2023, iow I don’t think that the synod document necessarily needs to be completed first. I find it very interesting that Cardinal Mueller made the comparison to Arianism and that April 13th, 2023 is the feast day of St. Hermengild who was martyred for not accepting communion from an Arian bishop. I also wonder what might happen if Pope Francis steps down before the final synod document is completed. Right now he is taking all of the heat and dancing around things pretty well but a new pope may be more progressive and go along with nearly everything, God may need to act sooner than later.
Perhaps we do more good simply by being what we are than by what we say. By the Christian witness of our life. Just by being kind and loving. There is so little of it about today. On one level things of course are very bad and grim. On another there are signs of hope everywhere. One thing that is giving me huge hope is one simple word. Penance. At the moment I cannot afford to heat my home, so it is cold. I cannot afford to take a hot bath in the mornings so I take a shower. They are only very little things, still I feel them. These are little Penances that everyone gets the chance to offer up and I am sure all good Catholics are. These are signs of the fires of purification burning around us, which if we freely embrace will change ourselves, the Church and the entire World. These are huge, huge signs of hope. Thank you Lord for a cold home as winter approaches. May it enkindle in me a warm, loving heart. Daniel 3:70 Ice and snow, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. Prayer to St Michael for the poor priest.
This really hits home for me. I've learned the hard way that I can only be who God made me to be; not what others think I should be or should be doing. The story of the Good Samaritan reflects this, imho.
I wondered if Pope Francis can turn the next conclave into a synodal process in which dioceses can somehow elect the representatives of the episcopal conferences that will participate; something that distorts the concept of a monarchical papacy.
I have a quick question on this. Mari Loli from garabandal said the warning will come when things are at their worst. So I figure after the warning things won’t continue to get worse but start to get better…. What are your thoughts on that?
There's a reason God chose to have Jesus betrayed by His own apostle into His passion. When we suffer our own betrayal as a Church, we can take solace in knowing Christ knows our suffering intimately. "Judas, do you betray me with a kiss?" No matter what happens, we know Christ is with us...and it will lead to something good and beautiful. And I think it's important to remember that down to the last moments before His betrayal, Christ was washing the feet of Judas. We are called to go humbly and charitably into these times, not only because Christ did, but because we ourselves are guilty of betraying Jesus with every sin we've committed. We are no innocents being led to the slaughter.
Psalm 93: (DR) 93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. 93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me. 93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul. 93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment? 93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood. 93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
If ever we needed someone to blow the Trumpet of Warning, the Shofar at the moment, it is now. Sound the Shofar!
With the Rosary we have the whole of Scriptures in our hands. When we gaze upon the Cross we have the whole Teachings of Scripture and the Church in single glance.
If this compromise takes place after the Warning I can see some churchmen trying to include everyone in the Church. Here is the thing though, the church opens her doors to everyone saint and sinner alike but reserves only Catholics that are in the state of grace to receive communion. Many Catholics do not believe in being in the right disposition (state of grace as well as proper fasting) to receive the Body and Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord. So, to the many, their incorrect way of thought is that everyone should be included at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Everyone is invited to Mass, but not everyone is invited to Holy Communion. To those who fornicate. No communion. To those who are living with their girlfriend/boyfriend. No communion. To those in an active homosexual relationship. No communion. To those that are in an adulterous relationship/Divorced (without an annulment). No communion. To those that are in active grave sin. No Communion. This is perhaps one of the things that the Synod will attempt to change. It appears that some of the princes of the church are already changing the mass, but I wonder what is the exact thing that will tear the temple veil in two so to speak. Perhaps this is what is to happen? Pope Pius XII “We believe that the present hour is a dread phase of the events told by Christ. It seems that darkness is about to fall on the world. Humanity is in the grip of a supreme crisis.” “Mankind must prepare itself for sufferings such as it has never before experienced.” This comment comes from the Pope who lived through World War I and World War II! He expressed dismay at what he saw facing humanity in the not so distant future, describing those times as “the darkest since the deluge.” “I am worried by the Blessed Virgin’s messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a Divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the true Faith of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past.”“A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, ‘Where have they taken Him?’” The red lamp burning in Catholic Churches signifies that God is really present before them in the Most Blessed Eucharist – Pope Pius XII is here prophesying that the Most Blessed Sacrament will no longer be able to be found in the ‘Catholic’ churches “
There sometimes come a moment when we red pill. When the scales fall off our eyes and we see something for what it really is, for good or evil , truly see it for the very first time. In Ireland there is a Party called Sinn Fein which is appears about to be about to take control of Government in the North and in the South of this little island. My father was a vice President of Sinn Fein and founder editor of its newspaper, 'Republican News.' But years and years ago and they kicked him out at once. Sinn Fein supports abortion and sexual perversion and mass immigration with a unholy zeal. Fair enough most political parties in the West do. But my red pill moment with these truly evil people came when I saw the President of Sinn Fein , Mary Lou McDonald and their head in the North , Michelle O'Neill jump up and down for joy and exultation, laughing when they found abortion was to be brought into Ireland. The scales fell of my eyes because I knew all at once the extent of the evil I was facing. That these people are pure evil and that they hate the Church and that they hate me and mine. That they are straight from hell and work for the powers of hell. Once the scales fall of, they won't come back on again. It is the same with powers that be in the Church. The scales have fallen off and they won't go back on again. I have red pilled.
As far as I can see everything is a target for these evil wicked people. Everything. Everything ..and everyone.
Evil is everywhere. https://gothamist.com/news/cuomo-signs-historic-abortion-law-celebrates-by-turning-one-wtc-pink
Yes. Me too. You can't un-see it once it reveals itself. What boggles my mind are the people around me who don't see it or can't see it.
