On Sunday August 14th, I was at a Novus Ordo Mass at Our Lady of the Angels for the second time in a month. It’s not my home parish and the celebrating priest was different on each occasion. Something unusual, most likely miraculous occurred.
At the beginning of August, as the priest held up the large white Eucharistic Host for adoration at the Consecration, I noticed a soft but marked golden glow, emanating from the centre, diffused to the edges. I rationalized that there were many candles and lights shining upon the beautiful altar and that it must have been that the light from one of the many sources that lit up the Host from behind, although I did wonder if that was true…
A fortnight or so later, a different priest, unfamiliar to me celebrated the Mass. I had been to Confession about an hour before Mass and they had brought a beautiful statue of Our Lady out to the front of the Church to accompany a Eucharistic Procession planned for after Mass. Later, I realised that it was actually the annual Feast Day of Our Lady of the Angels, on which the church who bore the same namesake, was celebrating that very day.
It was at a later point in the Mass this time, when I noticed something breathtakingly remarkable; what I believe to be a Eucharistic Miracle. This time the priest held in his hands, a small white consecrated Host. This time there was, taking up almost the entire Host, a very bright, golden glow, leaving only a white rim for an edge. It was striking and beautiful; I felt amazed but I dared to rationalise again, “Look how the candles light up the Host and make it glow so beautifully. How amazing that the light hits it in that exact spot..must be a deliberate architectural intention…”, until the priest bent over a little and moved the Host down, still in his hands, to then receive The Blessed Sarament into his mouth and the bright golden glow remained intact, not even even flickering or wavering. This act took mere seconds but the significance of what I had witnessed was profound. I went to Holy Communion and knelt to receive Our Lord on the tongue, feeling moved, but trying to hold it together. After thanksgiving prayers, I did not immediately tell my eldest daughter who returned to my side anything, but by the last hymn, Amazing Grace, we were both shedding tears, moved by inexplicable Grace. At first she thought it was just the hymn or the Mass as a whole overwhelming me; as she felt but I explained later.
If I compared what I saw in terms of ‘the emanating glow’ to anything remotely similar, I would refer to a photo/video I saw of the Eucharistic Miracle at Garabandal 1962, which is imprinted upon my memory. In the photos that I have seen the Communion Host that appears on Conchita’s tongue, seems to glow with a bright, white light. The difference here is that the Host shone with a bright, deeply golden light instead, from It’s centre. For those who believe, in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, no further explanation is necessary. For those who do not, this is certainly not the first or only Eucharistic Miracle, which you will find if you search the topic. It is a belief which is biblical and can be understood- with the eyes of the soul through the assistance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Our Blessed Saviour and Mighty King Who humbles Himself to become Food for our Soul.

The Bishop of Brisbane joins the throng!
A very apt poetical comment by Crusader Will:
Out into the open the dissidents troop –
peddling their poison as the elixir of life.
The parched step up to gratefully drink.
Will no one dash this cup to the ground?
An article appeared today on a few sites – Life Site News today.
Excerpts below:
… There are plans currently underway for national and diocesan synods on marriage and family based on the controversial Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia. …
San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy and Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge have both embarked on the synod pathway with McElroy planning his diocesan synod for October and Coleridge planning a national synod for all Australia in 2020. Coleridge said he expects the national synod to address homosexual “marriage” and “ordained ministry” …
During the Synod on the Family in 2015 Coleridge argued against using the terms “intrinsically disordered” or “evil” to describe homosexual acts. Moreover he argued that the traditional Catholic understanding of loving the sinner while hating the sin “no longer communicates” “in the real world” where sexuality is “part of [your] entire being.” …

A Plea for Extra Prayers/penance/atonement today: Feast of the Assumption
+AMDG+
As many of you will know, today a satanic group will offer up a Black Mass and desecrate and blaspheme a statue of our blessed Mother in Oklahoma, USA. Please try to counteract this with extra prayers and penance ; perhaps Adoration if you are able.
See the details in the TFP petition against this vile and diabolical act at:http://www.tfpstudentaction.org/stop-black-mass-oklahoma-city.html
(More details of the proposed ritual can be found on other sites, but they are too disgusting to even talk about. They will make you violently ill.)
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee,
and for those who do not have recourse to thee,
especially the enemies of Holy Church
Amen.
JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting Tues 12 July, 2016
+AMDG+
Our Prayer theme today: “Discipleship”
The readings are chosen after the Crusade Prayers and after a prayer to the Holy Spirit for guidance and listed below An overview of the readings will be posted below. It is recommended that you read the messages in full by clicking on the link beneath each one.
The Readings today:
- Bible (Douay Rheims)
Ezechiel 4:
A prophetic description of the siege of Jerusalem, and the famine that shall reign there.
[1] And thou, O son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee: and draw upon it the plan of the city of Jerusalem. [2] And lay siege against it, and build forts, and cast up a mount, and set a camp against it, and place battering rams round about it. [3] And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel. [4] And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity. [5] And I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days three hundred and ninety days: and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
[6] And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for a year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee. [7] And thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be stretched out: and thou shalt prophesy against it. [8] Behold I have encompassed thee with bands: and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. [9] And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. [10] And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it.
[11] And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it, [12] And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man. [13] And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out. [14] And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth. [15] And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat’ s dung for man’ s dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith.
[16] And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress. [17] So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.
Book of Truth:
2. Mother of Salvation: The antichrist, upon his announcement, will declare that he is a devout Christian
23rd August, 2013
…There is an organized attempt being made to wipe out Christianity and this takes many forms. …. These other creeds will be given great support when they plead for justice, in the name of their rights as citizens. What this will do is to spread further the sins which are abhorrent to my Father.
People will be forced to accept sin in their countries and it will become an offense for Christians to object to these laws. Christians will be viewed as being uncharitable, right wing and out of touch with the human rights of others. …
… Sin will cause disease of the flesh in many nations, as the judgements of the Seals are declared by the Saviour of humanity and poured down by the angels of the Lord. Many will be killed in atonement for the wickedness of man. This purification will continue until there will remain only those who are immune to death because of their love for God.
Christians will suffer greatly in a number of ways. Their faith will be taken away from them and in its place an abomination will be witnessed. Their pain, which has already begun, is the same as that experienced by my Son, at this time. Then, they will have to witness an astonishing sight, as the antichrist, upon his announcement, will declare that he is a devout Christian. He will use many extracts from the Bible in his speeches to the world. … Out of his mouth will spill many sweet and comforting words and he will appear to be a godsend, in that he will be seen to amend the wrongs against Christians. He will carefully construct how he is perceived by Christians and especially Roman Catholics, for these will be his main target.
All will admire the antichrist and his so-called christian acts, gestures and his perceived love of Holy Scripture will make him instantly acceptable by many. He will draw all nations together and set about holding ceremonies for other religions and, in particular, pagan organizations, so that they can work together to bring about world peace. He will succeed in uniting countries, which had been enemies up till then. Silence will be heard in war torn countries and his image will appear everywhere. His final, great achievement will be when he brings all those nations he unites, into the domain of the Catholic Church and all other Christian denominations. This unification will form the new, one world religion.
From that day forth, Hell will break loose on Earth and the influence of demons will be at its greatest level since before the great flood. …outside of the churches they will indulge in sin openly, for no sin will shame them. Under the hypnotic direction of the false trinity – the trinity created by Satan – they will crave every kind of sin as a means to sustain their newfound appetite.
This wickedness will include sins of the flesh, where nakedness will be acceptable, as man will become involved in obscene sins of the flesh in public places. Murders will be common and committed by many, including children.
Satanic worship and black masses will take place in many Catholic Churches. Abortion will be seen as a solution for every kind of problem and will be permitted right up to the day of birth.
…. If you are seen with a true Cross you will find that you have committed an offense, because you will be breaking the law. The law in your lands will become a dual law – where politics and religion will be entwined in the new world order.
… So infested will they become that they will betray brother, sister, mother and father, to the authorities, if they should remain loyal to Christianity. Your only hope, children, is prayer to sustain you through this period.
I urge you to keep all holy objects, rosary beads, blessed candles, holy water, a copy of the Bible and the holy daily Missal along with the Crusade of Prayer book. You must keep the Seal of the Living God in your home and on you if possible. My Medal of Salvation will convert those who wear it and they will be shown Mercy by my Son. I now request you, child, to have the Medal of Salvation produced now and a Scapular of the Seal of the Living God made.
…
Go in peace, children, and be calm as this trial will, because of the Mercy of God, be short. Trust in me, your Mother, as I will be with you always during your trials. You will never be alone.
Your Mother, Mother of Salvation

Overview of the Readings:
The Bible reading from Ezechiel speaks of a siege against Jerusalem and the famine and lack of food, which seemed to mean the punishment God was sending them, with Jeremiah warning them. Their food had to be measured out to survive. Ezechiel had given them instructions according to God’s prophetic Word,
The second reading from the Book of Truth warns us about the advent of the antichrist. It describes how sin will become widespread and acceptable; how Christians will be viewed as uncharitable; how wearing a crucifix will be a crime; of satanic worship, black masses, and of how family members will betray each other to the authorities. Our dearest Mother reminds us how to protect ourselves: – by keeping with us “all holy objects, rosary beads, blessed candles, holy water, a copy of the Bible and the holy daily Missal along with the Crusade of Prayer book.” As well as Seal of the Living God in our home and on us, as well as the Medal of Salvation which will convert those who wear it. The Scapular of the Seal is also mentioned.
We are reminded of important information to remind us what discipleship entails, and what will be required of us. We can’t say that we didn’t know. We have to build up our strength and our resources and our armoury.
Prepare to look after your Health
+AMDG+
This might be difficult – especially for those who refuse the chip (or the ‘mark of the beast’ as it is named in Scripture). If we are part of the remnant, we will be on the outer of society.
We may not have access to our normal medications. Some things you can stock up on, but others you can’t get without a prescription, and (at least here in our country) you can’t fulfill prescriptions ahead of time and keep them in the cupboard. We have to start researching and planning now – to look for natural remedies or health store products that we can store.
Please don’t hesitate to share any ideas/ expertise you may have. You can contact us via the contact form on the menu bar.
Below is the advice from our “Raising Awareness” friend.
Special health needs
Do you or a family member have specific ailments? Asthma, allergies, etc. Assess the needs of those in your family and do your best to have what is needed for as long as possible. Renew prescriptions as soon as refills are available. Ask your doctor for prescription to cover more days to minimize dispenser fees.
Medications & First Aid
Each home should have a standard first-aid kit with the usual bandages and gauzes. What is needed beyond that will vary according to individuals and family. Answer the following and use your answers as a guide:
- Are you prone to illness?
- Do you need prescription medications?
- Is a member of the family prone to injuries?
- Consider what you have purchased medication for in the past 12 months.
- Are these illnesses that recur time after time, seasonally, or genetically?
Personal Hygiene and Toiletries
For this section, the needs will vary, yet the basics will be the same.
Here are checklist items for toiletries and personal hygiene:
- soaps to wash self and to wash clothing;
- toothpaste and toothbrushes;
- shaving cream and razor, if applicable;
- toilet paper, towels, and
- method and tools to wash clothing.
- Ladies may need feminine hygiene products.
- If using an outhouse, toilet paper rolls can be placed in empty coffee tins to keep them dry and spider-free.
Angel of Wrath
I was watching a video on the Third Secret of Fatima and pondering soberly all the implications of why the church did obey The Blessed Virgin by revealing the secret by 1960, and what the church was, and still is, hiding.
Earlier in the day I delivered pamphlets into neighbour’s letter boxes about The Warning as predicted at Garabandal in 1961. At 3 0’clock I prayed the Hour of Mercy prayer and then felt drawn to open St Faustina’s diary for some reading. The passage was most appropriate and stunningly confirmed what I had been reading and reflecting upon. The two particular extracts (highlights mine) are below:
Notebook 1: msg 474
“The following day, Friday, September 13, 1935. 474 In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an Angel, the executor of divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing into his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which was about to strike the earth, and in particular a certain place, which for good reasons I cannot name, I began to implore the Angel to hold off for a few moments, and the world would do penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of the divine anger. Just then I saw the Most Holy Trinity. The greatness of Its majesty pierced me deeply, and I did not dare to repeat my entreaties. At that very moment I felt in my soul the power of Jesus‟ grace, which dwells in my soul. When I became conscious of this grace, I was instantly snatched up before the Throne of God. Oh, how great is our Lord and God and how incomprehensible His holiness! I will make no attempt to describe this greatness, because before long we shall all see Him as He is. I found myself pleading with (197) God for the world with words heard interiorly. As I was praying in this manner, I saw the Angel‟s helplessness: he could not carry out the just punishment which was rightly due for sins. Never before had I prayed with such inner power as I did then…”
Not long afterwards St. Faustina relates the following:
Msg 479:
“My second confession to the Archbishop [Jalbrzykowski]. “Know, my daughter, that if this is the will of God, it will take place sooner or later, for God‟s will must be done. Love God in your heart, have…..” [unfinished thought].”
I cannot help but wonder if this vision given to St Faustina which so frightened her is related to the Third Secret of Fatima and, of course, the Angel in Revelations in the Bible. Is that we are on the cusp of the chastisement? Watching the video and then connecting the events of the day, it seems so. The Lord is drawing our attention to many related things and like bits of an incomplete puzzle, helps us put them together.

JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting Thursday 30th June, 2016
+AMDG+
Our Prayer theme today: “Special Graces”
The readings are chosen after the Crusade Prayers and after a prayer to the Holy Spirit for guidance and listed below An overview of the readings will be posted below. It is recommended that you read the messages in full by clicking on the link beneath each one.
The Readings today:
- Bible (Douay Rheims). Wisdom 2: 10-24
[10] Let us oppress the poor just man, and not spare the widow, nor honour the ancient grey hairs of the aged.
[11] But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth. [12] Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life. [13] He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God. [14] He is become a censurer of our thoughts. [15] He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men’ s, and his ways are very different.
[16] We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. [17] Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be. [18] For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies. [19] Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience. [20] Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.
[21] These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them. [22] And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls. [23] For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. [24] But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world: [25] And they follow him that are of his side.

2. God the Father: I have waited patiently a very long time to gather My children, again, into My Holy Will
27th January , 2014
My dearest daughter of Mine, how much you fear when it is so unnecessary. When I give the world a Gift of this magnitude, it is done out of a sense of duty, which is borne out of My Great Love for all of My children.
I warn you to protect you all. I reveal to you part of Me in every single Message I give you for the world. To you, My daughter, I show My great yearning to become close to My children. I show you My Compassion, My Joy, My Disapproval, My Anger, My Love and My Mercy. Why then, when I reach out like this, do you fear Me? You must never fear a Father Who loves all of His offspring and especially sinners, who openly defile every Law given to you by Me in order to draw humanity into My Tenderness.
Children, be ready to accept My Great Mercy. Open your hearts to welcome Me, your beloved Father. Prepare to greet Me and call to Me every time fear creeps into your thoughts, when you try to come to terms with these Messages. These Messages are unique. They are presented to the world by the Blessed Trinity. They are deemed by Me as being the most important Mission on Earth since I sent My Only Son to redeem you.
This, My Word, should be accepted with a gracious and thankful heart. Welcome My Words. Be content in the knowledge that all that is, remains and always will remain, within My Command. I Am all that Is and will Be. All decisions, as to the future of mankind and the destiny of the world to come, remain with Me. I would never intentionally frighten you, children. What I will do is prepare you for My New Kingdom, so that you are fit to enter it – when all pain and sorrow will be no more.
Be at peace, My beautiful, desirable children. You are everything to Me. I include here all of you. All sinners. All those who will not acknowledge Me. All those who idolize Satan. All My faithful children. Those whose souls have been snatched. You belong to Me, only. I will not let one soul be ignored in this, My last attempt, to prepare the world for the Second Coming of My Beloved Son.
Not one of you will be left untouched by My Hand of Mercy. Allow Me to open your hearts so that you will be blessed by My Hand. Say to Me: “Dearest Father, reach out and touch my body and soul with Your Hand of Mercy. Amen.” I will respond immediately to your call. Go forth, My little ones, and be at peace, for My Intervention will be your saving Grace, no matter how difficult the period ahead will be. I will be waiting to open the Door to My New Paradise, with Love in My Heart, as I beckon you to come to Me, your Father.
I have waited patiently a very long time to gather My children, again into My Holy Will. That Day is close and My Heart rejoices in anticipation of the moment when man comes back to his rightful place beside Me.
Your loving Father, God the Most High.
3. My New Kingdom: You will be lavished with great abundance and will want for nothing
13th May, 2012
My dearly beloved daughter, it is time to understand that My Messages are not to bring fear.They are to bring love. They are also being used, to tell those who commit sin or wrongdoing, that they must redeem themselves in My Eyes, or be lost to Me forever.
How could I not tell humanity the Truth? I realise that you, My daughter, feel a burden from time to time as the recipient of these Divine Messages. You must never allow fear to enter your heart, for it does not come from Me. Have I not told you that there is a wonderful New Era of Peace ahead for all those who love Me? What is there to fear?
Is it worry over your future, your family or not knowing what lies ahead? If so, then you must know this.I love you all. I want all of God’s children to unite as one holy family, together in love.This is why I am communicating now, in plenty of time, to draw you all closer to Me.
To ensure that you will all turn and open your hearts to the love that I have for every single soul on this Earth, I must warn humanity of the dangers they face. If I did not love you, as I do, I would not warn you. My Love is so powerful that it is a Love unknown to any human being, for not one of you could have the capacity to feel the Love that I hold for you. My Love means that I do not want God’s children to suffer.
I will take all of you, who will see the Truth, after The Warning, and show you the Love I have. You and all of those who belong to Me in mind, body and soul will be given the most exquisite Gift, beyond your comprehension.
The New Paradise awaits you, and the Earth, that you may think you will pine for, will mean nothing, when you see the Kingdom that has been prepared.
My children, there is much to look forward to. Fear is unnecessary. Instead consider that you will be given Eternal Life. You will be lavished with great abundance and will want for nothing.
The colours, the scents, the love you will feel for all those around you, the peace within your families, lack of fear, your souls full of the Love of God and your perfect bodies – how could you not desire My Kingdom?
My Kingdom will become your new home, when Heaven and Earth will merge as one, and the dead, who accepted Me as their Saviour, will be resurrected to join with their families, their brothers and sisters in love and happiness.
The relief you will feel when the world of sin, in which you live now, is no longer there, will bring joy, calm and contentment. No more worries, fears, anxieties or sin. You will still have free will, but it will be different. You will be living in complete union with Me, according to the Holy Divine Will of My Father. He has waited patiently for this moment.
I am patiently preparing all of God’s children, so that not one soul is lost. So, My dearest daughter, fear not.
Suffering will not last long. In its place will be the home to which each child of God belongs. That is My Promise to all of you. Do not feel sad, frightened or worried for it is completely unnecessary. Just learn to love Me more. The more you love Me, the more you will trust in Me.Only then will fear leave you. Only then will you truly be free.
I love all of you. Never forget this, especially when you may be worried about the future.
Your beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ
4. Children, do not become discouraged by tales of despair facing mankind
8th August, 2011
My dearly beloved daughter, it is days since i communicated with you.
This was to give you a chance to listen to the advice of My beloved Father, God the Most High, to help you understand the role of suffering to save souls.
The days now are getting shorter as the time for the warning draws nearer.
All is set for the flames of my love, which will envelop the whole world as one.
The angels, the choirs in heaven await now the day of glory when I return to give man his last opportunity to accept my existence and that of my eternal father.Children, do not become discouraged by rumour or tales of despair facing mankind, instead, look to me now and confide in me your fears.
Mankind will be given such a wonderful gift.
Not only will man encounter me, face-to-face but they will be overjoyed to learn and see the truth presented before their very eyes.
This is to be a great day in history when hope and love will be shown to all of you.
Even hardened sinners will fall down and weep tears of remorse.
This is good news, children, for all can be saved if they abandon their pride and ego.
All, through their own free will, are to be united to allow me to enter their hearts so that they can be guided towards the light.For many sinners in mortal sin, this light will burn their eyes and their soul.
It will be painful. If they can only endure the fright of seeing how they offend me, they will become strong and will convert.So, children of my army, I say to you now. Smile, for the event will be the most extraordinary in your lives and your existing love for me and my Eternal Father will infuse your soul.So much love will infiltrate your minds, bodies and souls that you will be renewed in spirit forever.Pray now, for all of you, for the time is short. The world is being prepared now for the Warning so that all will be ready for my great gift.
Continue, my children, with devotion, this month of the salvation of souls, for by the end of August millions of souls will be saved through your efforts.
Remember, children, I am present in your lives every day. Watching. Guiding.
I love all of you.
Remain loyal to my wishes to save tortured souls.
Jesus ChristOverview of the Readings:
These readings today bring us so much joy, and anticipation – so much to look forward to.They tell us of the wonderful gift that God has planned for us. He describes the wonder and beauty of what will come. We must read, and reread these readings often, to remind ourselves. I think we could take excepts and post them up around the house to remind our loved ones. Each and every reading is about the “Special Graces” God has planned for us.
St John the Baptist: JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting Thursday 23 June, 2016
+AMDG+
Our Prayer theme today: “Protection”
Today was an unusual day. It was the vigil of the feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist. (in the Traditional Latin Rite). We didn’t really think too much about it until one of our prayer group opened up my old 50 year old Douay Rheims Bible. The writing was very small, so it was handed over to me to read. I couldn’t believe it!!! It was about St John the Baptist. I guess we should not have been surprised – it is relevant for these times.
As always, the readings were chosen after the Crusade Prayers and after a prayer to the Holy Spirit for guidance. In fact, the next day was the Feast of the Nativity of St John the baptist. (N.B. In the Traditional Rite, some important feasts have a Vigil the day before the feast ). The Gospel Reading for the Feast was the reading we opened up in the Bible the day previously. The reading was as follows:
The Readings today:
1. Bible (Douay Rheims) Luke 1: 59-80
“And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’ s name Zachary. [60] And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
[61] And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. [62] And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. [63] And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered. [64] And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. [65] And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
[66] And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. [67] And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying: [68] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: [69] And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant: [70] As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
[71] Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us: [72] To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament, [73] The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, [74] That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear, [75] In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
[76] And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: [77] To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins: [78] Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: [79] To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace. [80] And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.”
Book of Truth:
2. I will come again on the last day. But I will not walk the Earth beforehand
April 3, 2013
… The Word of God, ignited through this Call from Heaven, will be spread by all your sons, daughters, brothers and sisters throughout the world. The speed of this Mission, which has taken the world by storm, is being fuelled by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
… My Father promised the world the Book of Truth for the end times. … Only the Prophet Daniel was given its contents, but he was instructed by My Father not to disclose its secrets.
Now, … The Book of Truth …brings with it extraordinary graces. It brings you the Truth, not only to remind you of My Teachings, but, to prepare you for the attacks on My Church, which will result in the destruction of souls.
… Without the Book of Truth, you, My disciples, would be like lambs being led to the slaughter, … The Power of My Holy Spirit, the thunder of My Voice, the miracles I will divulge and the proof of the authenticity of these Messages will win over the souls of millions.
… My warning to you now is to listen to the prophecies. Any man who claims to be Me, or any man who tells you Jesus walks the Earth in human flesh, is a liar. My Time will come when I descend from Heaven in exactly the way in which I ascended on My last day on Earth…”
Your Jesus

3. Call to Clergy: Prepare My flock for My long awaited Second Coming on Earth
27th January, 2012
…when you work for Me you will be persecuted, for mankind will not like to hear the Truth, as I reveal it to you, in these, the end times…. My Voice will be heard all over the world. …man will be able, finally, to free himself from the shackles of evil, placed around his ankles, by Satan. As the Truth will penetrate the souls of My children... it will, unfortunately, cause division.
My beloved sacred servants, priests and all religious clergy, within the Holy Catholic Church, know that I love all of you. So many of you have given up your lives for Me, with generousity of heart. You will need to lean on Me now. You must pray for guidance to remain strong in your faith and for discernment at all times. Never take your eyes off Me, for one moment. I need you to prepare My flock, in order to welcome Me, during My long awaited Second Coming on Earth. You will need to persevere and not allow your love for Me to be dissuaded, no matter how much pressure you are put under.
You are my true disciples and I must urge you to take up your weapons to save My Church. This very Church, founded on the Rock, by My beloved disciple, Peter, will never fail. The enemy may believe it to be destroyed, but that would be a foolish assumption….My daughter, I give the world this Crusade of Prayer, for the Catholic Clergy to recite.
Your beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ, King of all Mankind

God the Father: Without me you cannot exist
28th October, 2014
…know that there is only one God. Only one. …. Any other god is an abomination in My Eyes … So many religions have been founded by fallible man, and this has caused much confusion…I created every living thing. I also created My Heavenly Hierarchy from which I threw out those angels who defied and betrayed Me. Many of these fallen angels communicate with My children who have created a new age form of spiritualism.… Such spiritualism will expose your souls to evil spirits whose only desire is to destroy your souls.… All they do is savage your souls like wild beasts and then leave you empty and bereft of any love. …. For once they gain access to your souls, they will torment you and goad you into demonic acts. …When you place false gods before Me, and do this because of your selfish desire to seek pleasure, power and control of your destiny, you are guilty of breaking My First Commandment.
…The Truth was first given to the world when paganism was rife. The Truth was given to the world with the birth of My Son and generations were converted. The Truth is being given again to the world now, as the great apostasy strangles the souls of those who believe in My Son, and at a time when paganism is rife again. …Finally, peace will reign again and I will unite those who choose to come with Me.
Your beloved Father
God the Most High

Overview of the Readings:
The Bible reading spoke to us directly about our mission and the role of St John the Baptist for us today. – “for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: [77] To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins”.
In speaking of this reading, what struck us was that as a result of his mission to prepare the way of the Lord, whilst defending God’s law regarding Marriage, he was beheaded. He is indeed a prophet for our times.
The second reading focuses on the book of Truth. In it, Jesus tells us that it has spread to millions in just 2 years. It concentrates on the importance of the B of T for us: of the extraordinary Graces we receive; in order to make the proper preparation needed; of the miracles and power of Holy Spirit which will win over millions. It also warns us to listen to the prophecies and to warn us against the antichrist. “...My warning to you now is to listen to the prophecies. Any man who claims to be Me, or any man who tells you Jesus walks the Earth in human flesh, is a liar. My Time will come when I descend from Heaven in exactly the way in which I ascended on My last day on Earth….” It is a warning to be aware of the ac and his claims. The amazing cloud formation at Medjugorje on 6 June seems to remind us of the latter statement. See post last week entitled ‘Heavenly Sign’.
The next reading reminds us that when we work for Christ, we will be persecuted. It reminds us that the Truth will cause division. Jesus calls out especially to the clergy: to love Jesus; to lean on Him; to pray for guidance and discernment; to remain strong in our Faith and to persevere no matter how much pressure we are put under. Jesus gives CP 22 for Catholic clergy to recite.
The last reading reminds us that there is only one God. It warns us against New Age Spiritualism. God the Father tells us that paganism is again rife and the Truth is being given to the world now – which is the only thing that can lead us to the new heaven and the New Earth.
These readings today focussed on the protection we need – the book of Truth and the things we need to be protected against – New Age pagan practices, and the antichrist.
Thanks and Praise be to Thee O Lord Jesus Christ!

The readings are chosen after the Crusade Prayers and after a prayer to the Holy Spirit for guidance, and listed below An overview of the readings will be posted below. It is recommended that you read the messages in full by clicking on the link beneath each one.
The Readings today:
- Bible (Douay Rheims) Acts 2: 37-47
http://../code.js[37] Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? [38] But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. [40] And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation. [41] They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. [42] And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all. [44] And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common. [45] Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
[46] And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart; [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
Book of Truth:
2. For My Followers who denounce these Messages
5th July, 2011
My dearly beloved daughter,
Today is a special day, for it pleases me to tell you that those whose faith has been strengthened by my messages can be assured that their daily recital of the Divine Mercy is saving souls.
My children must never forget that prayers, when said with sincerity and from the heart, will always be heard. Prayers are always listened to and any special intentions are fulfilled according to My most Holy Will. Children please continue with your prayers because they will help ease the period of the great chastisement.
My father is now ready to take over his holy kingdom and commence his reign once again when the new paradise on earth emerges.
The evil in the world right now has never been so intense. …
Satan has many followers. They, his followers, in many instances are not aware as to how he influences every thought and deed at all times during any one day. If my children could only see the amount of demons present in such men they would be sickened. They possess many of my children, the only visible signs being through their evil deeds. Pray, pray now, my followers, that those poor, lost souls can be saved during the warning.Between now and the warning all I ask of you, children, are your prayers and especially the recital of the Divine Mercy.
My father will save souls if you dedicate yourselves to saying this once a day, preferably at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. …If it is satan who you believe influences these messages then why would he ask you to pray, to seek forgiveness, to receive the Holy Eucharist? Then you will know that this is impossible. The deceiver will influence my followers firstly, to encourage them to deny my word because he knows that it will be their rejection of My most Holy Words of Love that will hurt me most. Reject satan and his wicked ways now. Turn to me. …

3. Mother of Salvation: Think of life as a stage between birth and the New Glorious Kingdom
29th August, 2014
… Those who accept the existence of evil do not believe in God’s Love nor do they accept the existence of the evil one. Only those who manage to overcome evil in all its forms truly understand the power which evil has over people’s words, deeds and actions. It is only when a soul is disentangled from the influence of evil that he can be set free. True freedom can only be achieved when you accept the Truth. If you do not accept the Word made Flesh, that is my Son, Jesus Christ, then you will never be free.
Children you must fight evil in all its deceitful forms but it is not easy to identify it clearly. Satan is the king of lies. He is the deceiver who manages to convince the world that he does not exist. He always presents the Truth as being an evil thing and he will convince the weak amongst you that evil can be justified always. You must never allow yourselves to be deceived, for the Truth was given to the world and is contained in my Father’s Book. Anything, which deviates from the True Word of God, must be avoided. Do not listen to those who tell you that an evil act is a good thing, or that it must be accepted because of the times you are living in.
The human race has not changed. Sin has not changed. All that has changed is man’s reluctance to accept God as his Creator. ..

Overview of the Readings:
In the Bible today, we are reminded of things that are to come. It reminds us of the importance of doing Penance. It mentions “this perverse generation” – (seems very appropriate). The “breaking of bread from house to house” reminds us that in the near future we will be obliged to go ‘underground’ in order to receive the Holy Eucharist. We have to be prepared.
The reading from the book of Truth emphasizes the importance of prayer – particularly the Chaplet of Divine mercy. Jesus speaks to those who believe these messages are from the evil one. (Good to remember when we are faced with this accusation.) We have to remember that the evil one is very intent on attacking the faith of Jesus’ followers first.
The second reading from the Book of Truth also focuses on the evil one and the acceptance of evil and sin, which is happening in the church – the Eucharist, Prayer and the evil of sintoday. Our dearest Mother, alerts and warns us to stay true to teachings of Jesus.
The readings today tell us of what is important in our Faith – the Eucharist, Prayer and the existence of the evil one and his deceptive ways.

” And I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire, and columns of smoke
Matthew 24: 6
And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: [8] Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name’ s sake. [10] And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
The remnant:
Joel 2: 32
[32] And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem shall be salvation, as the Lord hath said, and in the residue whom the Lord shall call.
Book of Truth:
Daniel 10:21
“But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.” (USCCB – U .S. Conference of Catholic Bishops)
“ but I shall tell you what is written in the book of truth.* No one supports me against these except Michael, your prince,”
Seal of the Living God:
Rev. 7: 204
[2] And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [3] Saying: Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads. [4] And I heard the number of them that were signed, an hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel. [5] Of the tribe of Juda, were twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Ruben, twelve thousand signed: Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand signed.
Rev 14:1
[1] And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their forehead.
Mark of the Beast
Apocalypse (Revelation) 13:18
Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six.
Apocalypse (Revelation) 16:2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men, who had the character of the beast; and upon them that adored the image thereof .
False prophet:
Apocalypse (Revelation) 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast, and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.
Rev 13:11
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
The antichrist :
Matt. 24:15
[15] When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
Matt. 24:16-24
“Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let him who is on the house top not go down to take anything from his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. But woe to those who are with child, or have infants at the breast in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation such has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor will be. And unless those days have been shortened, no living creature would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days have been shortened. Then if anyone says to you behold here is the Christ, or there he is, do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible the elect.”
That we may know these wolves when they come, let us understand what to look for.
Deuternomy 13:1-4
“If a prophet arises … and tells you of signs or wonders and if the signs and wonders take place, and he says, ‘Let us follow other gods which you have not known and let us worship them‘ You must not listen to the words of that prophet… The Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love Him with all your heart, and with all your soul. It is the Lord your God you must follow…”
Deuteronomy 13:6-7
“If your very own brother, or son or daughter, or the wife that you love, or you closest friend secretly entices you saying, ‘Let us go and worship other gods,’ gods that neither you or your fathers have known, gods of the people around you whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other, do not yield to him or listen to him…”
2 Thess. 2:12-15
Verse 9 says, “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the works of Satan, displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders…”
Revelation 13:13-15
“And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men, because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image of the beast for honor. Who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”
( Verses 16-18, brings us to the prophecy in which all are forced to receive the mark of the beast, for without the mark no one will be able to buy or sell. )
Matt. 24:25-28
“Behold I have told it to you before hand. So if anyone says there he is in the desert, do not go, or here he is in the inner room, do not believe it. For as lighting comes from east to west, so will be the coming of the son of man, (Jesus). Wherever there is a carcass, there the eagles will be gathered.”
New One World Religion:
Rev.13:
[15] And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast should speak; and should cause, that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast, should be slain.
Rev. 17 (1-18)
“And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters, [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the wine of her whoredom. [3] And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. [5] And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth”.
[6] And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration. [7] And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not. [9] And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings: [10] Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
[11] And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast. [13] These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast. [14] These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful. [15] And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.
[16] And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire. [17] For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
New One World Govt.
Question: “Does the Bible prophesy a one-world government and a one-world currency in the end times?”
Answer: The Bible does not use the phrase “one-world government” or “one-world currency” in referring to the end times. It does, however, provide ample evidence to enable us to draw the conclusion that both will exist under the rule of the Antichrist in the last days.
In his apocalyptic vision in the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John sees the “beast,” also called the Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 13:1). Combining this vision with Daniel’s similar one (Daniel 7:16-24), we can conclude that some sort of world system will be inaugurated by the beast, the most powerful “horn,” who will defeat the other nine and will begin to wage war against Christians. The ten-nation confederacy is also seen in Daniel’s image of the statue in Daniel 2:41-42, where he pictures the final world government consisting of ten entities represented by the ten toes of the statue. Whoever the ten are and however they come to power, Scripture is clear that the beast will either destroy them or reduce their power to nothing more than figureheads. In the end, they will do his bidding.
John goes on to describe the ruler of this vast empire as having power and great authority, given to him by Satan himself (Revelation 13:2), being followed by and receiving worship from “all the world” (13:3-4), and having authority over “every tribe, people, language and nation” (13:7). From this description, it is logical to assume that this person is the leader of a one-world government which is recognized as sovereign over all other governments. It’s hard to imagine how such diverse systems of government as are in power today would willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler, and there are many theories on the subject. A logical conclusion is that the disasters and plagues described in Revelation as the seal and trumpet judgments (chapters 6-11) will be so devastating and create such a monumental global crisis that people will embrace anything and anyone who promises to give them relief.
Once entrenched in power, the beast (Antichrist) and the power behind him (Satan) will move to establish absolute control over all peoples of the earth to accomplish their true end, the worship Satan has been seeking ever since being thrown out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12-14). One way they will accomplish this is by controlling all commerce, and this is where the idea of a one-world currency comes in. Revelation 13:16-17 describes some sort of satanic mark which will be required in order to buy and sell. This means anyone who refuses the mark will be unable to buy food, clothing or other necessities of life. No doubt the vast majority of people in the world will succumb to the mark simply to survive. Again, verse 16 makes it clear that this will be a universal system of control where everyone, rich and poor, great and small, will bear the mark on their hand or forehead.
One world currency:
Apocalypse (Revelation) 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
(Three) days of Darkness:
Joel 2: 31
[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come.
Joel 2:10
“Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles, the sun and the moon are darkened and the stars no longer shine.”
The New Paradise
Matthew 25:31-34
[31] And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. [32] And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. [34] Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
2 PETER 3:1-13
1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
