The Readings today:

  1. 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.

    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.

     

The End Times – we have been warned! Part 1: Key events and Signs

+AMDG+

The time will come soon, as things deteriorate in the world, and/or after the Warning, when we will be called upon to evangelise /explain what is happening. People will be confused and not know what is happening. Many will not be familiar with the Bible and the references to the events  referred to therein. Of course, there are also many other prophecies – particularly by saints of the Catholic Church – many of them hundreds of years old. We will need to prepare and be ready with the information people will need.

The key events, which are referred to in the Bible

Joel 2:28-31                      

“And it will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophecy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. And even on the male and female servants I will pour our My Spirit in those days.

” 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.

Bishop Schneider’s advice to Parents

+AMDG+

In a recent article Bishop Schneider has acknowledged the fears and the reality of what is to come – the ‘sexual anarchy’ which will be disguised as gender rights, and marriage equality. We fear for our children.

The insane laws are coming fast – here in this country, they have tried to bring in a programme of education  to apply to schools called ‘Safe Schools”. It is meant to be an anti-bullying strategy – but of course it entailed things hidden from the eye. Fortunately Christian groups brought it to the public’s attention, and it has been amended somewhat. The good news is that it is optional, but a list was published and 2 schools that have taken it on are actually “catholic”.

Bishop Schneider has laid out a survival plan for Catholic parents who find themselves in a secular, relativistic, and hostile environment but who simply want to raise their children to become future citizens of heaven.

Bishop Schneider said that to survive in a heretical wasteland, Catholic parents must:

  1. See persecution as a grace from God for becoming purified and strengthened, not simply as something negative.
  2. Become rooted yourself in the Catholic faith through study of the Catechism. 
  3. Protect your family’s integrity above all else.
  4. Catechize your children as your first duty.
  5. Pray with your children daily, such as litanies and the Rosary.
  6. Turn your home into a domestic church.
  7. In the absence of a priest and Sunday Mass, make spiritual communion.
  8. Withdraw your family from a parish spreading error and attend a faithful parish, even if you have to travel far.
  9. Withdraw your children from school if they are encountering immoral danger in sex-ed.
  10. If you cannot withdraw your children, establish a coalition of parents to fight for that right.
  11. Fight for parental rights using available democratic tools.
  12. Be prepared for persecution in protecting your children (see first point).

The bishop said that being a Catholic “family” in the truest sense of the word is the key to survival.

Reading for Today from the Book of Truth: “ Mother of Salvation: Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man “

+AMDG+

This message was the third one  opened at JtM CPG meeting on Tuesday 19 April, 2016, after a Prayer to the Holy Spirit.

 Reading from the Book of Truth:

Mother of Salvation: Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man   

(19 September 2014)

 My dear child, it has been foretold that many False Prophets will arise and that, during this time, they will spread untruths about the word of God. They will arise in their hundreds of thousands and be endorsed by those who claim to represent My Son’s servants. They will preach in small, as well as large, groups and you will know them by the false prophecies, which they will reveal to the world. They will be seen as very holy people, and some will say that they have great healing powers of the flesh as well as the spirit.

Some will wear the garments of holy men and they will promote a new missal, which will deviate from the truth. Many people will be confused by their teachings, as they will mix their false claims with part of the truth. One of their objectives will be to be seen to prepare the world for the second coming of Christ and they will create great anticipation of this event amongst My Son’s followers.

But, it will not be My Son, Jesus Christ, they will be preparing God’s children to welcome. No.  It will be the Antichrist. Grave errors, will be revealed by them in connection with the Book of Revelation as they will twist the contents of this holy book. Few will know that they are being fed lies and the greatest untruth, which they will proclaim, will be this. They will say that Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, will make himself known in the world soon. That he will come in the flesh. That he will walk amongst his people and that he will raise them up on the last day. This could never happen for My Son, who came in the flesh, the first time, through his birth, will never come in the flesh at his second coming. Beware of the man, who declares himself to be the Son of Man, who calls you to him, for he will not be from God. My Son will come in the clouds just as he left the Earth during his ascension into Heaven so, too, will it be on the last day.

Your Beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation

Thoughts /  Reflection

 This reading warns us against the antichrist to come and the false prophets who will prepare us for his coming. These latter will actually preach in groups, but they will mix error with truth – and people will be confused. Our Lady also warns us against the new missal, which they will be promoting. Our dearest Mother is warning us what to expect. She tells us the errors they will be spreading, so that we will be caught in the ant-christ’s web.

Forewarned is fore-armed!!

God is my Search Engine and His Answer is Swift!

After my evening prayers, on Thursday 14th April, I opened my Bible on Jeremiah 42: Flight into ‘Egypt’.

I did not understand what this passage might mean for me or us, and I instantly but unaffectedly asked The Lord, in my heart, “Who is Egypt?” There was such a clear, stern warning in this passage, but I couldn’t interpret it. Unexpectedly, an answer came instantly into my mind: “The One World Church”. It was not my thought. It came out of nowhere- quicker than lightning! Hence this interpretation and warning for those who profess to be believers and are asking for God’s help and guidance in these difficult times; are you listening to His answers? If you go into the One World Church (as represented by Egypt) and refuse to listen to God’s Word of prophecy, (when the church begins to fall into ruin) you will die by famine, plague and sword (possibly in the Chastisement?). Do not desert the small remnant. The Lord Himself will increase you in number and feed you- against all odds. All of this is there in this warning; read the passage below with open eyes.

Jeremiah 42

42 Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near:
2 And they said to Jeremias the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us.
3 And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do.


4 And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you.


5 And they said to Jeremias: The Lord be witness between us of truth and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
6 Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom me send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.


7 Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
8 And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
9 And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:
10 If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you.
11 Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land.


13 But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God,
14 Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell.
15 For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there:
16 The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.
17 And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.
19 This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.
20 For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
21 And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.

 

Thank you God for warning us against ‘Egypt’. Grant us the courage instead to follow and listen to Your Plan for us in the times ahead. Amen.

God is my Search Engine; not Google. Part 3

On Saturday April 2nd, a combination of groups voluntarily gathered together in a large regional serious prayer meeting for some hours . As a Catholic, it is not hard to spend a long time in prayer; in communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as we have a rich tradition of prayer from which to draw. The mood was sombre, for we spend Holy Week reflecting on Christ’s Passion and Death which assists us to recall and confess our sins with deep and true contrition, better appreciating the gift of Salvation wrought for us on Good Friday on the Cross. We love Jesus, we rejoice in His Victory and His Rising and we feel immense gratitude for this Gift, especially in view of our unworthiness. Our aim, on this first Saturday after Easter, which fell the day before Divine Mercy Sunday, was to pray for the many different groups of souls, that they may receive of His Salvation too, in these difficult times and before it’s too late. With the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia less than a week away, our other immediate concern was that all Christians would see and uphold The Truth of God’s Word, despite the errors which would likely be spread through this modernist assault, disguised as ‘mercy’. We felt, and fear, the ominous rumble of God’s Wrath.

That evening, after our prayer meeting, I opened on:

Wisdom 18: 14-25 (Douay Rheims Bible) 

[14] For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, [15] Thy Almighty Word leapt down from heaven from thy royal throne, as a fierce conqueror into the midst of the land of destruction.

[16] With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth reached even to heaven. [17] Then suddenly visions of evil dreams troubled them, and fears unlooked for came upon them. [18] And one thrown here, another there, half dead- shewed the cause of his death. [19] For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish and not know why they suffered these evils. [20] But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue.

[21] For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. [22] And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oaths and covenant made with the fathers. [23] For when they were now fallen down dead by heaps one upon another, he stood between and stayed the assault, and cut off the way to the living. [24] For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. [25] And to these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for the proof only of wrath was enough.

I believe this is about the coming Chastisement (made clear in verse 20) which follows on from The Warning (or Illumination of Conscience) ( see verses 14-19) confirming that those who will die at ‘the Warning’, may be saved by proclaiming their faults as they are dying, due to the visions (of their guilt) given to them.

Death and chastisement will touch some of the faithful as well (verse 20). But  Christ will shorten the chastisement through His Mercy for the sake of the elect (verses 21-25).

We had been praying by name for those who need healing in body, mind and/or soul (Crusade Prayer 94)  and also for souls who may die during the Warning (Crusade Prayer 1- My Gift to Jesus to Save Souls) which is connected to this interpretation.

I know some people think scripture has only one meaning which can either be applied at the time or to the future, and will think that the passage was only about the Egyptians.  However, some passages as Jesus clearly shows us in the Gospels, applies to both! He Himself fulfilled prophecies in a new way that some had thought already fulfilled like a closed book.  And he Himself, and later His apostles opened the scriptures before our very eyes, that we would see the Eternal Word in the amazing way God created it- as a Living Word and yet the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow.Later this understanding of scripture was confirmed to me through another website quoting the Catechism.

*For more information on Divine Mercy Sunday please visit DivineMercy.org. Those who have not heard of The Warning (otherwise known as The Illumination of Conscience or The Great Day of Mercy)  I will post some information for you soon, but in the meantime you might wish to try Google, or better still…God! While this may sound light-hearted, the truth is that discernment and Wisdom are very important, especially in regard to The Warning, so please humble yourself in sincere prayer to accept all God is offering and the direction in which He will lead you. I will be praying for you and with you, dear brothers and sisters +. Amen

 

 

 

God is My Search Engine, not Google: Part 2

Friday 31st March (evening) I opened on Zechariah 14 (16-21).

It is all about the eschatological battle!!
It explains how all will be made holy and The Lord’s sovereignty will be acknowledged and seen by all.

[16] And all who survive of all nations that have marched against Jerusalem, shall go up year by year, to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of Tabernacles. [17] And it shall come to pass, that should one of the races of the world not go up to Jerusalem, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there shall be no rain for that one. [18] And if the family of Egypt should fail to go up and pay its visit, on it will fall the plague which the Lord will inflict on each one of those nations that fail to go up to keep the Feast of the Tabernacles.. [19] Such shall be the punishment for Egypt and for all those nations that fail to go up to keep the feast of Tabernacles. [20] When that day comes, the horse bells will be inscribed with the words “Sacred to the Lord” and in the Temple of the Lord the very cooking pots will be as fine as the sprinkling bowls at the altar. [21] And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall become sacred to the Lord Saboath; all who want to offer sacrifice will come and help themselves from them for their cooking; there will be no more Traders in the Temple of the Lord Saboath, when that day comes.
*The last verses describe in the eschatological renewal, everything will be made holy.
(Bible verse taken from the CTS New Catholic Bible, 2007. The Incorporated Catholic Truth Society).

Explanations below are from The Douay-Rheims Bible:

[16] They that shall be left: That is, many of them that persecuted the church shall be converted to its faith and communion.– Ibid.
[16] To keep the feast of tabernacles: This feast was kept by the Jews in memory of their sojourning forty years in the desert, in their way to the land of promise. And in the spiritual sense is duly kept by all such Christians as in their earthly pilgrimage are continually advancing toward their true home, the heavenly Jerusalem; by the help of the sacraments and sacrifice of the church. And they that neglect this must not look for the kind showers of divine grace, to give fruitfulness to their souls.
[20] The bells or that which is upon the bridle: The golden ornaments of the bridles, etc., shall be turned into offerings in the house of God. And there shall be an abundance of caldrons and phials for the sacrifices of the temple; by which is meant, under a figure, the great resort there shall be to the temple, that is, to the church of Christ, and her sacrifice.
[21] The merchant shall be no more: Or, as some render it, The Chanaanite shall be no more, that is, the profane and unbelievers shall have no title, to be in the house of the Lord. Or there shall be no occasion for buyers or sellers of oxen, or sheep, or doves, in the house of God, such as Jesus Christ cast out of the temple.

All of the above fits with the our understanding of the future when all will be one.

I had no idea how many bible verses deal with the Second Coming and the times we are in. I could never find them all if I tried! So God keeps giving them to me instead. I also would not even have ‘the eyes to see’ in each passage what He was saying, unless He enabled me; in my mind, heart and spirit. It was not always so.
But what I do have, I must share!
In my heart I pray for Wisdom and I ask God what he wants to show me and share with me today or tonight, before opening my Bible. It is true that nothing is inconsequential in the Word of God and that therefore everything I open upon is important, HOWEVER it is not my doing that each passage, from so many different parts of the Bible are on the same theme, each night in a row. And that God confirms what He is saying through others! So, if you are also willing to listen to what He has to share with you today, join me on the journey of the past few days! Each part will be separately posted, so as to allow you time, as God did for me, to pray earnestly and reflect on what God is saying to you…

Reading 1: Thursday 31st March
God gave me this passage to read about “being fed” and led- (Spiritually and physically) by Him… and therefore not worrying in the time ahead!

(Douay Rheims) 1 Kings 17: 2- 24

[2] And the word of the Lord came to him, saying: [3] Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan, [4] And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. [5] So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
[6] And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent. [7] But after some time the torrent was dried up, for it had not rained upon the earth. [8] Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying: [9] Arise, and go to Sarephta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed thee. [10] He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. .
[11] And when she was going to fetch it he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. [12] And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse: behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. [13] And Elias said to her: Fear not, but go, and do as thou hast said: but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me: and after make for thyself and thy son. [14] For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth. [15] She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day
[16] The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias. [17] And it came to pass after this that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him. [18] And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son? [19] And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. [20] And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a so maintained, so as to kill her son?
[21] And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body. [22] And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived. [23] And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth. [24] And the woman said to Elias: Now, by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true.

Meditation on the Cross

This is a beautiful meditation on the Cross from “America Needs Fatima”

The story is of a Spanish knight, leaving his castle, his wife and child behind in order to lead his men to fight the Moors.He is captured and enslaved.

He does not know if his family knows of his whereabouts, in order to raise ransom money to free him. A life-sized Crucifix hangs above the town, for the pure purpose of being blasphemed and spat upon. He vows that if he is freed, he will return for the Cross. After 10 years, when it seems that he can be freed, he has a huge decision to make  – to choose between the Cross and his family!

“The weight of the Cross” is a beautiful meditation on the Cross.

Prayer before a Crucifix

BEHOLD, O kind and most sweet Jesus,

I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight,

and with the most fervent desire of my soul,

pray and beseech  Thee that Thou wouldst impress upon my heart,

the lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity,

with true repentance for my sins and a firm desire of amendment:

whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself

and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds,

having before mine eyes the words which of old,

the prophet David spoke in prophecy of Thee, O good Jesus:

They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones [Psalm 21, 17, 18].

Say Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be for the Catholic Church and the intentions of the Holy Father.

A plenary indulgence, under the usual conditions, may be gained by those who shall say this prayer with devotion before an image of our crucified Redeemer.

A partial indulgence may also be gained for each devout recitation.

God provides!

Last week, my husband and I embarked on a long car trip to attend a wedding in a small town, approx 8.5hrs North of where we live.  We planned to travel between 10am and 6.30pm with minimal stopping. Before we left I had already been on the road for approx 2 hours+ due to morning drop offs , so I was pleased that he would drive and I could rest most of the way.

Halfway through the journey we accidentally took a wrong turn which put us on a different, much longer route. It added at least 2hrs 15 mins more and a long, gruelling, dark, foggy, twisting road towards the end.

We did not discover the error until we had travelled an hour on the inland route and annoyed, but optimistic enough at that stage, we decided to continue.

As we passed through a beautiful sunny Country town, I noticed an impressive original 19th century sandstone convent with beautiful stained glass windows called St Joseph’s of Lochinvar. This convent had belonged to the Sisters of St Joseph, to which order our dearly beloved St. Mary of the Cross (Mackillop) had belonged. It had been a very large convent with many nuns. Perhaps our daer saint, had even stayed there.It had an auction notice  explaining that the “contents” would be auctioned on the Saturday to come – (i.e. in 2 days’ time).

Immediately I started thinking…”What a rare, unique opportunity to find some religious items that Jesus said we need, such as sacred vessels and maybe even a tabernacle!” But the wedding was on Saturday! How could this be done? I asked my husband whether, if my mum were to buy a few things from the convent auction, we could possibly pick them up for her on our return trip, the following Tuesday, if the auctioneers agreed to hold them? Forgetting where we were, he agreed.

I pondered the likeliness of all this working, which also relied on online bidding being available but all I could hear was L.(prayer group member) saying over and over to me, “Donna, we need a tabernacle! Where are we going to get one?” after many prayer group gatherings. And I always thought, “Why on earth does she keep asking ME?!  That’s not something I can do!”

Nevertheless her nagging stayed in the back of my mind, and I couldn’t let this opportunity pass without trying!

So I sent a short text and  email to my mother. My mother’s story follows:

I received Donna’s text. I was pretty busy, so I didn’t have much time to think about it, but I did pass it on to others in the prayer group. The next night, a thought came into my head, that Donna didn’t pass by this auction on purpose. She was meant to see the sign. Then I remembered that just a few weeks before, our prayer group readings were all about the desecration of churches and I remembered the discussion that followed amongst us.

This was my comment at that time “So to sum up – get ready for the changes and the deceit. Go to Adoration while you still can! Gather up many Crosses, Crucifixes and Bibles. And it sounds as if we should be on guard for when they throw out the gold tabernacles – rescue them if we can.” (See Post JtM Crusade Prayer Meeting 25th February, 2016). I can’t believe that I had that thought 2 weeks previously!

Wow!!! We are meant to follow this auction up and try to get some tabernacles. A few of our group drove up to the auction the next day. I decided to put in an online bid – then I watched and participated in the auction live on the screen.

I managed to get a tabernacle and so did another person in our group. I was worried that people would be after the tabernacles for their scrap metal value – but the group from our prayer group who went up there, said that it seemed like the people bidding for the tabernacles were all Crusaders.

When Jesus tells us to prepare – we must do so. After all, He is present at each prayer group, guiding us. He goes to a great extent to show us the way, if we just stop and listen.

Thank you, Lord. I am glad we listened and didn’t ignore your gentle signs. Amen.
