JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting, Thursday, 5th May, 2016

+AMDG+

Our prayer theme today:  Faith, Church, Family, Priests, Nations

All the readings, chosen at random after a prayer to the Holy Spirit, are listed below. We will post each message in full, in a separate post each day. An overview of the readings will be posted below.

The Readings today:

  1. Bible: (Douay Rheims)

    Psalm 68 20-37

Book of Truth:

2. One half will not deviate from the Truth. The other half will twist the Truth  (21 November, 2012)

  1. Ecclesiastical masonry has now reached the greatest level of power within My Most Holy Church on Earth (30 September 2013)

4. Heed not the roars of opposition for human opinion means nothing in My Kingdom  (30 August 2014)

 Overview of the Readings

The first reading (Psalm68) was entitled in the Bible “Salvam me fac Deus”. It was the Passion of Jesus (signifying the Passion of the Mystical Body of Christ), which is occurring now and which will increase significantly. There were tears from some, as we listened to the words  – “I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none… gall for my food, …vinegar to drink”.

 David also tells us of the stern Justice of God – “…their table…a stumbling block… let thy wrathful anger take hold of them,… Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;…”

Words of encouragement followed – “seek ye God, and your soul shall live” and “[36] For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance…”

(See Bible reading at the end of this post.)

In the next reading, (from the Book of Truth ), Jesus tells us how vicious is the evil one, who will not easily let go of the souls he has ensnared , and even be a thorn in the side of those who Love Him. But He assures of His love and compassion for these souls. He also makes a list of instructions to help us – chat to Him, offer Him our trials and little sacrifices  etc. He knows we are busy, so He shows us what we can do, by making simple suggestions. He also gives special instructions about spreading the Seal to as many people as we can.

 Whereas Psalm 68 (the bible Reading)  talked about Christ’s Passion, this reading seems to explain in detail of what things this passion will be comprised. This reading now continues to describe the division between those who love Jesus and those who will twist the truth. He warns us of the strategies they will employ: couched language, old-fashioned laws, laws which legalize sin, Christian laws being banned, and lifestyle choices. Jesus particularly describes the women who have aborted their babies and the suffering they will endure, as well as nations who will be punished by God the Father because of these sins,

The reading finishes (it is quite a long one) with Jesus telling us of the very special graces He gives to those who attend daily Mass. Jesus tells us that He yearns for us, He wants to be closer to us, that He is waiting for us and that we will be happier and at peace.

The third reading continues on this theme of the “passion” of the Church and of the  Faith in describing the oaths that priests will have to take. Jesus tells us that “Ecclesiastical masonry has now reached the greatest level of power within my most holy Church on Earth”. Jesus tells us of  a new liturgy –appealing to a secular world, and which will be introduced very quickly and surprise everyone with its swiftness. Objections to it in every diocese will be easily dismissed and the voices of the “loyal servants” will not be heard in public. He tells us that “ecclesiastical masonry has now reached the greatest level of power within my most holy Church on Earth”.

This indeed hurts us to the core of our being that this can happen to our beloved Faith and to the loyal priests who will be helpless. This is just the beginning. Jesus is warning us now, so  it must be very soon.

The fourth and final reading tells us of suffering souls, and how this attracts the evil one because of the graces given to them. Jesus tells us of the gift of discernment, which He describes as the greatest gift and how this gift will help bring Him more souls. Jesus reminds us of his commandment to “Love one another as I love you.” He tells us that if we can’t love our enemies then we will find it more difficult to come closer to Him.

Jesus tells us that we must uphold the Truth at all times – in all adversity. Jesus ends with a stern warning – that we must live our lives according to (all)  His Teachings  – otherwise we can’t say that we really to Him . The result for the mighty and the proud will be the anger of God and ‘the screaming and gnashing of teeth”.

Reading for Today from the Bible:   

(Douay Rheims) Psalm 68 20-37

 [20] Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

[21] In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none. [22] And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.[23] Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumbling block. [24] Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always. [25] Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

(Notes) [23] Let their table: What here follows in the style of an imprecation, is a prophecy of the wretched state to which the Jews should be reduced in punishment of their wilful obstinacy.

[26] Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles. [27] Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds. [28] Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice. [29] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written. [30] But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.

[31] I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise. [32] And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs. [33] Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live. [34] For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners. [35] Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.

[36] For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance. [37] And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Notes:[36] Sion: The catholic church. The cities of Juda, etc., her places of worship, which shall be established throughout the world. And there, viz., in this church of Christ, shall his servants dwell, etc.

Vatican II Reforms: Appeasement of the Disobedient- the Ripple Effect

+AMDG+

A number of the reforms after the Vatican Council were authorized, but not by Vatican II. (See previous posts entitled “Which Changes did Vatican II authorize? Parts 1,”… 2 and … 3 “respectively.) Many of these “were authorized only after stubborn disobedience”.

“For instance, Pope Paul VI, in his Memoriale Domini of 29th May, 1969, allowed national Conferences of Bishops to ask him for permission to legitimate ‘Communion in the Hand’. But in this very document the Pope recorded that two thirds of the world’s bishops were against it! Clearly, it would NOT have been approved by Vatican II. The dissenters learnt their lesson: ‘disobey long enough and you’ll get what you want’. “(Newsletter of Cardinal Newman Catechist Centre: No 161; 5th April, 1999; p. 5,   Editor -The Rev. B.J.H. Tierney.)

Communion in the Hand was first introduced by Protestant reformers in the 16th century to give credit to their disbelief in the ‘Real Presence’, and also the Catholic priesthood. In the 1960’s , Holland – under the influence of Protestantism, (without permission), adopted this practice and began to spread its errors around the world. After a survey of the world’s bishops in response to this problem, Pope Paul VI said : “From the responses received, it is thus clear that by far the greater number of bishops feel that the present discipline [i.e., Holy Communion on the tongue] should not be changed at all, indeed that if it were changed, this would be offensive to the sensibility and spiritual appreciation of these bishops and of most of the faithful.”

Although  the pope would not authorize Communion in the hand. He was, however, open to bestowing an indult –under certain conditions:

first, an indult could not be given to a country in which Communion in the hand was not an already established practice;

second, the bishops in countries where it was established must approve of the practice “by a secret vote and with a two-thirds majority.”

Beyond this, the Holy See set down seven additional regulations; failure to maintain these regulations could result in the loss of the indult. The first three regulations concerned:

1) respecting the laity who continue the traditional practice (of receiving kneeling and on the tongue),

2) maintaining the laity’s proper respect of the Eucharist, and

3) strengthening the laity’s faith in the real presence.   See more at: (http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2014/03/truth-about-communion-in-hand-while.html  )

As we can see, all the rules were disregarded, and what should have been the exception, spread like wildfire.

Needless to say, this practice led to other abuses:

– the taking away of the altar rails, where one would kneel to receive Communion;

No Communion plate, leading to fragments being dropped and scattered on the floor;

This, together with the abandonment of many of the other  liturgical signs such as extraordinary ministers and acolytes – all of whom could now touch and handle, not only the Sacred Host and Precious Blood, but also the Sacred vessels;

Less bells being rung to alert us to the Mystery taking place;

Shaking hands, turning around and speaking, RIGHT AFTER the Consecration (the most solemn part of the Mass); etc

  These all led to a relaxation and loss of belief in the real presence The sense of the Sacred has been lost – people gossip before Mass begins, they don’t genuflect before the tabernacle; quite often you can’t even SEE the tabernacle. Jesus, Who is present is ignored and very little respect or acknowledgement of His presence is given. Not many people can be seen praying before Mass – (it’s too noisy anyway!) It’s all very sad! Poor Jesus!!!

The proposals of Amoris Laetitia, therefore make me shiver in my boots! Haven’t they learned their lesson?  – Or perhaps they have. For the changes which will now come into effect – the sky is the limit!

QUOTES about Communion in the hand:

“Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, (to)  recently suggest(ed)  the policy of giving Communion in the hand be revised or “abandoned altogether.” It is Archbishop Ranjith’s belief that the introduction of this practice after Vatican II has resulted in indifference, outrages and sacrileges toward our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, causing great harm to both the Catholic Church and to individual souls. (See the full article at: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=8616  )

Pope John Paul  II:

“It is not permitted that the faithful should themselves pick up the consecrated bread and the sacred chalice, still less that they should hand them from one to another.”  , Inaestimabile Donum (April, 1980) –

. In Dominicae Cenae (Feb. 1980), he stated: “To touch the sacred species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained.”

Padre Pio — St. Pio of Pietrelcina :

— Received Only on the Tongue, and never said a Novus Ordo Mass.

St Thomas Aquinas:

“. . . out of reverence towards this Sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest’s hands, for touching this Sacrament. Hence, it is not lawful for anyone else to touch it except from necessity, for instance, if it were to fall upon the ground, or else in some other case of urgency” (Summa Theologiae, III, 82, 3).

Pope Benedict XVI (quoting St Augustine):
Encyclical Sacramentum Caritatis, no.66  (“Sacrament of Love”), teaches:

 “No one eats that flesh without first adoring it; we should sin were we not to adore it” (Enarrationes in Psalmos 98, 9).

Kneeling indicates and promotes the adoration necessary before receiving the Eucharistic Christ.”

Reading for Today from the Bible “ And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels..” “

+AMDG+

This message was the third one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The second reading was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

Bible:(Douay Rheims) 2 Chronicles 5: 2-7

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
[3] And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
[4] And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
[5] And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.
[6] And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
[7] So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
[8] For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.
[9] And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.

Which changes did Vatican authorize? Part 3.

1. Changes authorized in the Sacraments of Initiation

i) Revised rites for Baptism and Confirmation SC§§62, 66-71 (but with entire new rites for just 3 particular cases §§68, 69)

ii) Vernacular can be used, 63

iii) Catechumenate restored, §64

iv) Parents’ and godparents’ roles SC §67

v) Baptismal water may be blessed each time, SC §70

vi) Confirmation renewal of baptismal promises and within Mass, SC §71

vii) No changes in First Holy Communion at all.

2. Changes not authorized in the Sacraments of Initiation:

i) Baptism:  Option of total immersion for adults and children

ii) Confirmation ‘form’ (formula) changed to “N. Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit” as in the Eastern Rites.

iii) Priests may give Confirmation to catechumens and converts.*

This Website editor’s note: *( Note that priests now (at least here, in this country) routinely administer Confirmation regularly to all – not just to converts and catechumens -(with the permission  of the bishop, when  the Bishop cannot make it to all the parishes). In fact, we consider it a privilege, if the Bishop; is able to do the Confirmation himself.)

3. Changes contrary to Vatican II:

i) Invalid Baptismal formulas without ‘Father’ and ‘Son’ or said by others as priest pours water.* ii) Some absurdities with RCIA: sending catechumens out at the Offertory (and catechists even missing Mass!); failure to instruct them in Confession.

iii) First Communion without first Confession contra  CCC  §145;

iv) First Communion delayed a year or two contra Cod of Canon Law c. 914 (cf. c.11).**

This Website editor’s note: *i) A few years ago, in another State, it was found that a priest had, for 20 years, been baptizing “In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer and the Sanctifier”. All these people had to be recalled and rebaptised.

iv) ** I made my First Communion at the Age of Reason i.e. at 7 yrs of age. My children and grandchildren were all at least 8 years old at First Confession, which is often up to a year before First Communion and often there is no ‘Second Confession’ before the Sacrament of First Communion.!) I have heard even of First Communion before First Confession.!!!

Reading for Today from the Book of Truth: ” On that day, I will gather the Living.”

+AMDG+

This message was the second one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The  first reading of the  JtM CPG meeting was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

2. On that day, I will gather the Living

19 November 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, in many Christian lives, I have become like an embarrassing relative who must be catered to, from time to time, but kept out of sight, at all times. This is how many of those who were born Christians, and who have fallen away from me, view me now.

I am of little consequence, and yet when they are in trouble, they will call out to me, involuntarily, because it is second-nature to them.

Why, oh why, can they not accept me? What has separated man from me? Why have My sacred Servants failed to bring them to me?

My suffering is the same today as it was during my passion and now those who have remained true to me will shortly desert me. They will do this because they will begin to re-evaluate their understanding of who, exactly, I am and what my Covenant truly means – all because of the heresies to come.

All homage to me, in My Churches, will soon be reduced to a mere nod in my direction. They will no longer genuflect before my tabernacles. They will not bow before me or kneel, nor will they pray before my corpus on the Cross, for it will not be my image they will be asked to venerate.

I will be scourged and made to look ridiculous. My words will be turned into the most peculiar verbiage and the truth of My Death on the cross will be thrown out.

My presence is still on Earth at this time.You must not desert me, for when you do, My Light will be extinguished and then you will become engulfed with darkness.

Only those who remain loyal to me can retain my flame and when the light of My Church on Earth is reduced to but just a faint glimmer – then the final call will be heard from Heaven. On that day I will gather the living. The remainder will be left with the enemies of God to whom they gave their allegiance.

No joy will they experience after that.

Your Jesus

Summary of the Changes: in the celebration of Mass.

  1. Changes authorized by Vatican II
  2. Changes authorized but NOT by Vatican II
  3. Changes CONTRARY to Vatican II

N.B. ‘SC ‘ refers to “Sacrosanctum Concilium” – chiefly concerned with the Council’s  “Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy” of 1963

1. Changes authorized by Vatican II in the celebration of Mass:

These only and nothing else:

i) Rite of Mass to be revised… with active participation, i.e laity to join in responses and chants – SC§36(2) and SC§50

ii) Bible Readings – revised and spread over several years – SC§24 and SC§51.

iii) Homily emphasized SC§52

iv) Prayer of the faithful emphasized SC§53

v) Vernacular for Bible Readings and Prayers of the Faithful, also for People’s parts permitted – SC§54 and SC§36 (2)

vi) Holy Communion from Hosts consecrated at Mass; and, on special occasions, under both Kinds.

vii) Word and Eucharist: two parts of one whole – SC§56

viii) Concelebration – SC§57 and SC§58.

2. Changes authorized in the celebration of Mass, but not by Vatican II:

i) An entire New Rite of the Mass ( not a revision): replacement rites for the Offertory; Communion and a Penitential Rite replacing ‘the prayers at the foot of the altar’.

ii) Mistranslations (official!) of Latin texts.

iii) Bible readings with skipped verses

iv) A third Bible reading on Sundays, etc

v). Offertory processions – some prior to VCII?

vi) Words of Consecration changed *

ix) Memorial acclamations at Consecration

x) Communion standing up

xi) Communion in the hand

xii) Communion from Extraordinary Ministers

xiii) Indiscriminate use of both Kinds (i.e. Blessed Host and the Precious blood)

xiv) Reduced ‘active participation’ by way of bodily gestures: fewer genuflections, much less kneeling, fewer Signs of the Cross, only one ‘beating the breast’, etc.

xv) Saints’ dates changed

xvi) Altar girls and feminisation of the sanctuary.

3. Changes contrary to Vatican II

i) Disbelief in the Real Presence, i.e. ‘belief in the real absence’

ii) Altar breads sometimes with illegal or invalid ingredients

iii) Sense of the Sacred violated by ‘studied casualness’, idle chatter and no sacred silences.

iv) Texts altered or manufactured

v) Laity joining in the priest’s parts: doxology, Eucharistic Prayer, even the consecration!

vi) No Communion plate and enforced communion in the hand.

vii) No translations of Entrance, Offertory and Communion psalms,  nor of Offertory verses.

viii) Banal music, and ugly furnishings, vessels and investments, etc.

ix) No Latin responses or Gregorian chant taught to laity : cf SC§54 and SC§114 (and no. 6 para therein).

x) Extraordinary Ministers used routinely, without necessity.

  1. xi) Dancing girls, antics, clowns.

This Website editor’s note::  Re vi) Words of Consecration changed *: Since the time this was published, the Reform of the Reform, which took years to complete, has been instigated. The words of consecration (…for many)  and ( …with your spirit); etc. The sad part, we all know, that with current events, the “reform of the Reform” will all have been for nothing!

Reading for Today from the Book of Truth: “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost.”

+AMDG+

This message was the first one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 3 May, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (An overview of the JtM CPG meeting was posted  yesterday) The prayer theme was: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will

1. “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost

(16th  October 2014)

My dearly beloved daughter, hunger for food that feeds the flesh is a terrible affliction. But, hunger of the spirit, leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost.

When a soul distances himself from me, he will wander and seek out every kind of fulfilment. He will walk to the ends of the Earth, looking for spiritual calm and relief, but nothing can fill this void, only me. He may find temporary relief in all worldly pursuits of relaxation, but never will he find the peace that I can bring.

When I feed a person’s soul with my grace, they will be full of My Love and presence. Although my presence, within the soul, will draw down upon it the venom of evil spirits, who will do all they can to upset it, the soul will not care.

My Love is all you need to feel fulfilled, and my peace, which fills you, is not of this world. It comes with great blessings and the souls, who attain this peace, will never let go of it that easily, once they experience it.

When a person goes to extraordinary lengths to deny me, he is deceiving only himself. To deny me is your own choice. Why then display hatred for me, when you do not believe I exist?

I call on those of you, who are plagued with spiritual battles, to hear my voice as I call out to you now. If you deny me, then remain silent.Do not deny me and then curse me, for if you do this, you are contradicting yourself. You cannot hate something, which does not exist.

If you feel hatred of any kind, don’t you know that this comes from a source, just as love does? Love comes from God. Hatred comes from Satan.

The day when you realise that evil breeds and festers, as it uncoils like a serpent, you will see that it is a real entity. Only then you will finally accept the existence of the Devil. The reason he, Satan, is so cunning is that it is not to his advantage to make himself known.

Were that to happen, you would find it impossible not to believe in God. Open your eyes and see evil for what it is. Know that by denying me, the evil one will use you to fuel hatred against those who love me.

Your Jesus

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting, Tuesday, 3rd May, 2016

+AMDG+

Prayer Group Overview

Our prayer theme today: Protection for Church, Faith, Priests, Families, Nation, and Submission to the Divine Will.

All the readings, chosen at random after a prayer to the Holy Spirit,are listed below. We will post each message in a separate post each day.  An overview  of the readings is presented below: 

The Readings today:

1. “Hunger of the spirit leaves the soul empty, miserable and lost (16th  October 2014)

2. “On that day, I will gather the Living” (19th  November 2013)

3. Bible:(RSV) 2 Chronicles 5: 2-7 

Overview of the readings:

In the first reading (see below), Jesus tells us of souls looking for fulfilment. He explains that there is only temporary relief in worldly pursuits. He tells us that His peace is not of this world – to be fulfilled, we only need His Love. Jesus describes the souls who deny that He exists, but who, at the same time, hate Him, or curse Him. He tells us that this hate is not logical because you can’t hate something that doesn’t exist. He tells us how the evil one uses people who deny Him to fuel hatred against those who love Him. He tells us that Love is from God, and that hatred is from satan.

Whilst in the previous reading, Jesus talks of the presence and absence of Faith in our souls,  in the next reading, we feel Jesus’ anguished cry “Why oh why can they not accept me?” He tells us that He is treated like an embarrassing relative, who is kept out of site. But these people will call out to Him whenever they are in trouble. He tells us of what is to come. His suffering today is that of His Passion. He asks why His priests have not brought to Him the souls who do not know Him. Jesus tells us that even the holy ones will soon desert Him, when the heresies are promoted. He describes how people will not genuflect or bow before Him, or pray to Him on the Cross (because His image will not be on it). He will be scourged and made to look ridiculous. Indeed, this is already happening. Jesus is getting us ready for the onslaught.

The final reading today was from the Bible. This seems to be more positive. It speaks of Solomon and the tribes of Israel (the remnant?) bringing the Ark of the Covenant, together with all the holy vessels. The Ark was in the most holy place, with priests offering sacrifice (of sheep). It tells us that the poles, which were very tall, could be seen from the holy place, but not from the outside.

(Could this be a follow -on message from the previous reading? Perhaps it speaks of the refuges where Jesus will still be present, with sacred vessels and true sacrifices. These could not be seen from the outside.) As the cherubim covered the Ark (in the O.T. reading), so will the angels protect Jesus’ presence in these holy refuges.

The reading also mentions “the seventh month”. This is a holy number- 7 sacraments, 7 gifts of holy Ghost, etc. We are not sure what this means. Our 7th month is not the same as that of the Jews – but, what we are sure of, is that these events are close.

Next post: Thought for the day: the first reading listed above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reading/Reflection for Today from the Book of Truth: “Democracy to Disappear – Priests will be Martyred”.

+AMDG+

This message was the fourth one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Thursday 28th April, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit. (The third Reading was posted yesterday).

4. Democracy to Disappear – Priests will be Martyred

3 March 2011

O dearly beloved daughter, it is with joy that I welcome your attention this evening. Your absence has pained me somewhat, but I knew you would turn back to me soon. Please listen carefully. While I realize that you are busy with your life, you must understand the sheer urgency of this message.

My word is being given to you in the most historical era since the beginning. For it is in this time that the world will now experience changes never witnessed by mankind to date. Get ready now, My children, wherever you are in the world.

For very soon one of the most precious gifts, out of My Mercy, will now be given to each of you. My warning, which is being given to you, will spread conversion everywhere. When this takes place, after that moment in time when the Earth will stay still, love through the acceptance of the truth will be widespread.

Satan’s followers will find it difficult to defend their wicked behaviour, before the love and light that will shine through you.

But although the great event, which will startle you, brings much conversion, you must still prepare for it. Accept that this prophecy will take place. Very few will deny it both during and afterwards. Yet many will still continue to turn away from me.

The great persecution will follow. Priests will suffer My army of beloved followers will rise bravely and defend my existence. Yet even those who you least expect, including my Christian Church leaders, will side with the evil one and his parasites. They will be seduced due to their weakness of faith.

You will find that those Holy Vicars of mine, my loyal sacred servants, will have to defend their faith. The cruelty, which will be shown to them, will be similar to that I faced by my executioners.

Heed this all of you who follow me. Do not be tempted to follow the path of the traitors, even if you are frightened. Never fall for their false promises. Be brave. Pray for strength. Persecution won’t last long Brace yourselves, believers, for even those closest to you will turn away from the faith.

You may find yourself isolated, laughed at and publicly ridiculed. Ignore their taunts. I will guide you all and protect you, because this time won’t last long. The most painful suffering you will experience will be their disloyalty to me, to the truth. Non-Christian nations will control,

Prayer can help diminish some of the catastrophic events, which will unfold. The persecution, which will be inflicted on those of you who believe in me and my Eternal Father, will be by the nations who are empty of love. Love for God. The only love they hold in their hearts is for the power over less fortunate countries.

Control is their primary aim. Glory, and the pursuit of wealth and ownership over you, your country and those of you, who refuse to denounce me.

Give in, My children, and you will find it very difficult to back track or retrace your steps towards me. This will require tremendous courage in the face of powerful adversity, but win you will.

Should you suffer because of the passion you feel in your hearts for the Love of God, my Eternal Father, then you will accept this with joy in your souls.

Rise of new dictators

Sudden changes in global situations, which up to now seemed like trifle unrest, will now emerge as all out wars. Wars will lead to shortage of food. Democracy will diminish quickly and wicked dictatorships will rise. These dictatorships will, however, be very careful how they are perceived. They will come as peaceful negotiators and as “Saviours” In return for feeding your mouths they will control your possessions, which will then become theirs. You will have to get permission to feed your families. In order to travel you will need a special form of identification and will be asked to accept the mark – the mark of the beast.

Run, My children. Hide. For that’s not all. They will dictate how you pray because it is not to God they turn. These, My children, are Satan’s armies, and they want to steal your souls.

Those of you who believe in me, get ready. Go back to your Churches immediately. Pray to God the Eternal Father. Gather in groups and pray, pray, pray. Ask for reconciliation now, so that when you witness The Warning you will accept, with humility, the state of your souls. You will have nothing to fear.

Pray too, for your family and friends, your children, your neighbours. All of them need to prepare. So many will then be converted when they witness the truth of my existence. So many will not be able to withstand the shock when they see how they have offended me. Others simply won’t care.

The hours are ticking now. Ask me to help you Signs, all of which have been foretold, are around you, children. See them and accept them for what they are.

Uprisings. Earthquakes. Floods. Climate change. They will now escalate.Money is now becoming scarce so too will your food.

Do not believe that all is lost, for when you ask me for help, your prayers will be answered. I will hold you all by the hand and help you through this turmoil. But you must open your hearts. Block any attempt to seduce you into joining in the evil one’s plotting.

Retain purity of heart and mind. Be humble in your outlook. But never be afraid to defend your right to believe in me. Time to prepare your souls The time is ready.

Go now, My children, and prepare your souls. Seek, through the sacraments, the graces needed to sanctify your souls. Then ask me to take you in my arms and ask for salvation.

My Love and compassion for each and every one of you is beyond your comprehension. The Warning, one of the most gracious gifts I can give you all before the final judgment even takes place, must be welcomed by you.

Be thankful that you are being given this wonderful gift.Because when conversion takes place in every corner of the world, you will then be truly ready for the new Heaven and Earth, which will then merge as one – my Paradise and the glorious inheritance each one of you is entitled to share – should you so choose.

Await my warning now, My children.For the time is drawing very close now.

Your loving Saviour, Just Judge and merciful Jesus Christ
