Hi Sam I have just completed yet another 33 day Consecration of myself to Jesus thru Mary according to the format you posted on MoG in 2014/15. I will renew it tomorrow after Holy Mass. Alongside this I have also completed my consecration to The Holy Cloak of St Joseph for the Pope and the Church to persevere in unity and truth. Not boasting - just expressing my gratitude for all graces received over the years. In Garabandal Our Lady said St Joseph is the greatest saint in heaven. I have to agree. Thank you for posting Fr Gaitley’s format of Marian Consecration all those years ago.
Thank you. There was a Rosary procession at our local Church last week at which 600 people attended which was quite something. I missed it and forgot all about it.
'A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a Sign but the only sign I will give them is the Sign of the Prophet Jonah. Then He went away from them'. Matthew 16:4 So once again no sign. I am disappointed I must admit. But maybe in order to get a Great Sign we have to be a little bit worthy of it. As they say, I live in hope. Hopefully it is still coming down the tubes. Our Lady did say at one apparition site, 'I have buried you in Signs'. Which I guess is true. The greatest Sign I am finding in my own life at the minute is the people at Church. I love to watch them, I think some of them are very, very Holy indeed. Just ordinary Catholic people doing ordinary Catholic things. But such a Great Light in these Dark times. It's so easy in Church to turn over a stone and find a little diamond. I smiled very broadly last night at Communion. I was subject to a bit of a witch hunt in Church for letting my phone sound notifications and since them have been very,very careful to switch to Flight Mode. But someone forgot and their phone rang. All heads swivelled in that poor persons direction. So happy, it gets me of the hook a little. The devil in me wished I had list of phone numbers so I could ring many of the hard liners during Mass and make life difficult for them. Maybe in heaven. The Lord made me laugh at prayer during the week. I was asking him for a Special Grace and He said right out of the blue, 'Are you asking me or telling me?' Such a dry sense of humour. Our God can be such fun.
You're welcome Joe and congratulations on your completion of the 33 day Consecration of yourself to Jesus thru Mary. Have a very blessed reconsecration day!
Thank you Sparrow . We have some — 4 - parishioners from here who went to a mass on the 13 th to either Montreal or Toronto - I’m not sure which one to the mass.
From Mark Mallett. A Word On This October… Numerous alleged seers around the world claimed that they received messages from Heaven that this October would bring significant “tribulations” and/or “signs.” As we warned in our webcast October Convergence, such specific predictions ought to be considered with great caution as specific timelines rarely seem to come to fruition. That would not seem to be the case as of this mid-October. In the webcast October Warning, we detailed some of the significant events that have already occurred this month, including the controversial comments of Francis on blessing same-sex unions, and of course, the beginning of a war in Israel. In October Convergence, we introduced Valentina Papagna of Australia to whom Our Lady allegedly said a sign would be given this October that would be seen around the world. Is the Israeli war that sign? Fr. Oliveirawas told in June this year that “this period will not come with a bang, but will be gradual and will spread slowly throughout the world. The war that has started will increase…” Again, we ask if the escalation in Israel, which is beginning to drag in all the same nations as the war between Russia and Ukraine, is perhaps what Our Lady is referring to? At the end of September, Our Lady allegedly told Gisella Cardia, “…from the month of October onwards events will be increasingly forceful and will continue rapidly. A strong sign will shock the world, but you need to pray.” Again, who can say definitively what this is referring to? But the massacres and bombings in and around Gaza have truly shocked the world. When Jesus allegedly told American Sondra Abrahams this past spring that in October this year “fire would fall from the sky” and that there would be “serious problems at the Vatican,” is this a reference to the raining down of missiles in Israel and a reference to the current Synod and papal remarks? In all of the above, the entire world has witnessed these events through technology, even if they occurred regionally. We also pointed out in October Convergence that Fr. Oliveira says Our Lady promised: “On October 13, I will give you a sign as you asked me to do; that is why I have shown you this date.” On both our website (in a footnote) and in that webcast, we explicitly stated that “This may be a personal sign, not necessarily a public manifestation” and that this date should be taken “with a grain of salt.” Indeed, our translator says that the word “you” is singular in the original language. Still, some people were expecting a sign on the 13th, and indeed, some people have written us who claim to have seen the “miracle of the sun” and even Our Lady on that day. But if true, these are personal graces that we would be hesitant to attribute to a fulfillment of the words above in terms of a “public manifestation.” Let’s bring everything back into perspective. As Daniel O’Connor, Mark Mallett, and Christine Watkins of Countdown to the Kingdom have repeatedly stressed here, the most essential thing is to remain in a “state of grace”, to listen to the directives and admonitions of Our Mother that are merely echoes of Catholic spirituality found in magisterial teaching, and to be courageous witnesses who are light to the world. As Daniel said in a recent blog: I know that some are quite worried about next month… Let us indeed be spiritually prepared, in case October does indeed wind up being a major turning point in the Purification. Repent of your sins! Get to confession! Strive to Live in the Divine Will as never before! Pray, pray, pray! But let us also not assume anything. I certainly am not doing this. If Heaven really wanted all the devout to go about canceling all their plans for some given month, it would have no trouble making that call superabundantly clear. As far as I can tell, it has not done so. Not even the most recent Medjugorje message gave any indication of that… —September 27, 2023; dsdoconnor.com In that regard, we add the final caveat. Several seers around the world, but most notably, Medjugorje, have claimed to have received “secrets” that will indeed be revealed on a certain date. Given that the Ruini Commission established by Benedict XVI concluded that the initial apparitions at Medjugorje were indeed supernatural in origin,www.vatic https://www.countdowntothekingdom.com/a-word-on-this-october/

A post by Lucas Gelásio made three days ago on his Facebook page caught my attention, in which he mentioned a supposed prophetic message that an anonymous nun received in April this year. The message (revealed after the start of the war) describes a war with persecution of the Jews. Frankly, this seems like a "magical rabbit's hat", which will throw up some surprises as world events progress.
On April 10, the northeastern nun had a dream that she felt was a revelation. She gave me the content on May 15th. In the dream, she saw herself in the middle of a devastating war scenario. There was a great persecution of the Jews. The nun then heard the voice of the Virgin Mary telling her to bring all the Jews to Her. While everything was destroyed, the nun tried to take the persecuted to a Marian sanctuary, which she cannot say. On the way, amid bomb explosions, he found a Jewish girl and, despite the risks, he started trying to save her. He also saw modern instruments of war, including a flying device that detected where people were hiding, even in underground shelters. She managed to take many refugees to the sanctuary. There he saw Our Lady, who said to him: — Bring Me all the Jews, because I am the Mother of them all, of Christian Jews and of those who are not Christians. I will save them! Here the dream ended. As soon as I received this report from the nun, I asked her for more time to discern. I contacted some priests in-depth in theology to ask whether it would be a doctrinal error to say that Mary is also the mother of those who are not Christians. After several consultations and research, I was convinced that everything is in accordance with the Doctrine of the Church. In a famous medieval song, Cantiga de Santa Maria 167, the scene of a Moorish woman from Borja who cried over the death of her son is described. Seeing the Christians ask Mary for help, the Muslim woman decides to do the same and, taking the little corpse to a place of pilgrimage, receives the miracle of the child's resurrection. Given the grace achieved, he converted to Christianity. The chorus of the song says: “Whoever trusts in the Virgin and prays to Her vehemently, She will benefit him, even if it is of another law in belief.” So let us pray that Mary, mother of all humanity, helps the persecuted. And, through Her too, may everyone receive the great grace of loving the Holy Church. #Faith #VirginMary #Prayer #Rosary #Catholic Church #Revelation #conversion https://www.facebook.com/1000012994...yVdbfLbYrGLSHMpAt4Me5shzHqRMEBFAF1gl/?app=fbl
Lorena, who seems to receive rather apocalyptic and unusual messages, we must admit, was alledgedly been warned by St Michael on the 9th of October that Halloween [31 Oct] will be marked by a great increase in satanic activity and to seek Confession before then.
Many here are still on the fence with regards to some seers, Fr O included. Yet, even as we listen to the voices in favour as well as against each one, it is the Holy Spirit's nudge within each one of us which we must ultimately rely on in discerning which prophetic voice is God's own voice speaking to us. It would not be to our benefit to trust the word of a select few who either endorse or condemn someone. I read an article yesterday, written gently, thoughtfully and with charity regarding the times we are in. I was drawn to the humility of the writer - always a marker to me. https://www.thebestcatholic.com/202...tober-2023-my-personal-prophetic-experiences/
