April 8th is the Feast of the Annunciation! Apparently when March 25th occurs during Holy Week it is transferred to the first suitable Monday after Easter. I had already mentioned I was amazed about the eclipse happening the day after Divine Mercy Sunday; now to find out it occurs on Our Lady’s Feast! Gives me chills. I gave up social media for lent but had to share this! Back after Easter!
Catechism & Apologetics 14/04/2021 Franz Georg Hermann the Younger (1692–1768), “The Last Judgment and the Lamb of the Apocalypse” (photo: Public Domain) Catechism of the Catholic Church 675 – Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576 574 – Cf. Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12. 575 – Cf. Lk 21:12; Jn 15:19-20. 576 – Cf. 2 Thess 2:4-12; 1 Thess 5:2-3; 2 Jn 7; 1 Jn 2:18,22. Diary of St Faustina 83 – “Write this: before I come as the Just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy.” 429 – “You will prepare the world for My final coming.” 635 – (Words of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, to St. Faustina): “…you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him Who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for granting mercy.” 848 – “(My daughter) Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.” (cf., John 19:34) 965 – “Secretary of My mercy, write, tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near.” 1146 – “Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice…” (cf., John 10:7: “I am the Door.”) 1160 – “…I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. My daughter, secretary of My mercy, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim My mercy, but also to beg for this grace for them, so that they too may glorify My mercy.” 1588 – “Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy.” 1732 – “I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming.” https://ewtn.co.uk/ca-what-are-the-...d-to-saint-faustina-concerning-the-end-times/
I believe that the institution of the Feast of Divine Mercy on the "Jubilee of the Incarnation" in 2000 may have been the fulfillment of the Day of Mercy promised by Jesus to Saint Faustina and that John Paul II may have been the spark that would prepare the world for the coming of Our Lord as Just Judge. We are now on the threshold of an ordinary jubilee and are also getting closer and closer to the "Jubilee of the Incarnation" in 2033.
John Waters, in his book 'Bring Back the Bad Roads", brought out this point. He compared abortion and slavery as sharing the quality that one exercised complete power over another human being, in the process denying them their humanity. Unwanted truths can be a real slap on the jaw.
Has anyone noticed that, in the map provided in the original post, immediately to the direct East of Carbondale, the next placename is 'Marion'? Ah well, just another one of those coincidences! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
I heard the solar eclipse is passing through seven towns called Nineveh. There’s a few videos out on it.
Sheila Holm ( evangelical antiCatholic sadly) has several videos out about these eclipses. Its interesting stuff.
