Dear Donna, Upon reflection, I want to write again. We are living in such trying times. People have been subjected to the harshest measures for years now, only to learn that these measures haven't helped much. Right now we have a war going on that presents a real threat of escalating into open warfare between superpowers and both sides are spreading propaganda. There is a lot of frustration. Patrick Coffin has an interesting approach to all this. We may not like what he has to say, we may not share his opinion. But his approach is sensible: Think, don’t emote over a hypothesis. Weigh the evidence like a juror at a trial. Here is a link: https://www.patrickcoffin.media/ We may not like the conclusions we have to draw from the facts we are facing. We will not like that the world has gone bonkers, to quote Fr. Mark Goring. But it has. We have to face the facts. We have to face reality, as certain long-standing and newer themes of Catholic prophecy are unfolding before our eyes, such as - 'the Pope has to flee' (long-standing prophecy) - 'the Russian invasion' (long-standing prophecy) - the Third Secret of Fatima having to do with Kiev and Moscow, according to Fr. Malachi Martin (given in the 1990ies) - etc. This is not a happy world that we are living in, but in the end all these calamities will lead to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. God bless!
I realize you addressed your concerns to Donna, but I’d like to add my thoughts. First, Catholics are not obliged to believe in private revelations. Second, there are very few prophecies which have full Church approval. Third, when we read prophecy, we must practice discernment, or else read reams of material that others have written on the subject. We pick and choose what we think fits our situation. We can and often do, reach erroneous conclusions. One example I can cite off the top of my head is the Emmerich vision of two popes. The meaning of that vision concerned two popes from the past, but people have latched onto it today. I think I will leave the rest of my concerns about the Pope in the hands of the Blessed Mother.
I think this pope is very good. But he is very different from his predecessors. Very different. The previous ones were also good, but they had a different profile. When there is a change like this, it is normal that controversies arise. After all, he was the only one who fulfilled Our Lady's request to consecrate Russia explicitly. The others did not (except for John Paul II's attempt).
All are called to holiness. All are called to live in the state of grace. If one sins, then the church calls the sinner to confession, repentance, and the sacraments. The faithful need supernatural grace in their lives in order to avoid the near occasions of sin. That comes primarily from a prayerful life, the sacraments, sacramentals, and living the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Calling the sinner, whether they are a fornicater or sodomite is what the church does. What the church is not and what a servant of the church should never do is celebrate the sin. Be it a pope, bishop, cardinal, monsignor, or priest. “Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament
I was wondering if an unprecedented tremendous solar storm could cause a visible aurora in the skies all over the world.
A few months ago, there was a member, who got kicked out of the forum( I don’t remember his name). That member appeared to be speaking ‘esoteric stuff’ or in Morse code and could not be understood. At the time I thought he was attempting to discuss the signs in the heavens, with out trying to spook people. Lately, I have wondered about Noah and the ark, I am sure many people knew him to be a righteous man. During the time he was building the ark, which could have taken many years, he probably spoke to so many people about something big coming around the bend, pleading with them to change their ways, Matthew 24:37-39, tells us that the people living on the earth at the time of the flood “did not understand until the flood came and took them all away…” In the book of Revelation, The sixth seal involves heavenly bodies doing the unexpected: In the seventh, the lamb opens the last, the seal which contains God's judgement. Other scriptures in the the bible point to these very peculiar heavenly signs, which are the sixth seal. "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord" (Joel 2:31). "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:25-26 “Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.” 5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”Revelation 10 Q: What will cause the perturbation of the heavenly bodies?
Padraig, if memory serves me, both Fr. Kramer and Fr. Gruner stated it was Frere Michel's opinion that the consecration wouldn't occur until the Third secret was revealed. They also said that it was Michel's opinion was that Our Lady was 'insulted' that the third secret wasn't revealed in or by 1960 and because of this the consecration would not transpire until reparations for the popes disobedience to Her are done, which is the revelation of the Secret. And that wouldn't happen except during the course of a major war. I also think Iran or Iraq is involved here so this might be that major war. By major i assume it means over an expansion of territory and Ukraine wouldn't fit this. That the secret will be a cleansing of the church, and if people knew what that secret contained, they would fill the church throughout the world and beating their breasts begging for forgiveness. That MUST be one incredible secret, esp. considering Lucy had such difficultly and only be express command by her bishop that she eventually wrote it down. Garabandal says that after the pope goes to Moscow hostilities will break out in Europe/Italy. Fr. Kramer believes Francis is not a pope and he says according to a holy man Antonio Ruffini that the pope after Benedict would consecrate Russia. He suggests too that because Benedict is THE pope who will be chased out and killed from Rome re Fatima's vision of guns and arrows being used, a short period of two and a half years before the consecration of Russia happens. I don't know if this scenario matches what Sister Aiello's vision of a pope on the run, will be killed and the red flag flown over the vatican. Fr. Kramer believes ( I think) that it might be Malachi Martin who said or suggested back in the 90's that an invalidly elected 'pope' would be in the vatican. Amazing that MM would know this. It wouldn't surprise me that the Warning is contained in the secret. It would make sense. I found this in 2013 on this site: >>>"The reason I bring up this interview and comment by Fr. Martin is that the 2014 calendar is the same as it was in 1997. This will not happen again until 2025. Could what ever Fr. Martin was hoping to see in 1997 be coming in 2014? In 1997, Father Malachi Martin told interviewer Bernard Janzen, “... I think the big factor ... is what happens in the skies ... ‘Keep your eyes on the skies’ is a prudent motto. I think ... Our Lady’s sign is going to appear in the skies, soon. I think ... it is going to come as a shock to everybody. ... I think … the Church is going to be hit hard by what appears in the skies.” “Keep your eyes on the skies” was advice Father Martin gave often, but especially during the first half of 1997. For some reason, he expected to see “Our Lady’s Sign,” as he called it, appear in the sky that very spring. Someone asked him if it might be “Hale Bopp,” a small comet that made an appearance that year. “No,” he said. He was expecting a different kind of sign. When it didn’t materialize by the end of June, he told me: “That means it won’t happen for a while yet; we have a little more time.”<<< Makes me wonder if the warning occurs in 2025? The Warning is supposed to happen in the spring; March, April or May i believe... Minus 2 1/2 years is 2023 or 2022 this fall??? If accurate, this means Benedict reveals the secret soon. Very speculative but fascinating stuff.
Ooops. I did my gozintas wrong. If MM thought the warning would occur in 2025 that means we have 3 years , to sweat it out.
Is possible that the warning occurs this Holy Friday? And perhaps the warning will stop the war in Ukraine.
…admittedly, I’m just jumping in, here, so I may be adding two pointless cents. But it’s my understanding from Glenn’s posts about Garabandal that the warning will be an even year, but a few things must come to pass before then, including the pope going to Moscow and hostilities breaking out in Europe when he returns. If up to me, the warning would be tomorrow. The thought of it being possibly years off depresses me. But I’m guessing its not this year, nor an odd numbered year.
There is still a chance it may be this year. Many are saying the Warning may come this Fall after the German Synod. Pope Francis still has time to visit Moscow this year.
Yes. Honestly, I do think it’s very soon. This next Synod is about the homosexual issue against the family. That’s the one told by the Spanish nun close to Conchita. It’s all coming together.
I wish I knew if someone is oppressed will the Warning make a difference? I pray it converts those who are in such mortal sin. I really can’t wait for it to happen. I’m scared too. But we need a major change. There is so much evil everywhere.
Heavenly I want so much to agree with you. I love Bishop Athanasius Schneider and put my trust in his word and views as he is such a good Catholic Bishop and I wish our diocese had a bishop like him. May God continue to protect and bless him. Amen. However, the horrendous thing is, I oscillate...... between believing that Pope Francis is our legitimately elected pope, to believing that this is possibly not the case and that Pope Emeritus Benedict is still the Pope. It is a personal dilemma. This oscillation is something I frankly deplore about myself and as I don't suffer this oscillation with other areas or circumstances in my life, it is a pain I wish I did not have, I find myself asking God to remove this unsure/questioning/curiosity regarding the leader of my most precious gift! my faith! I believe this oscillation may have something to do with what the Lord revealed to me about 3 years ago; The Lord revealed to me that Pope Benedict is the restrainer, spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 6And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. Personally the above knowledge, doesn't make much sense, so since that time, I have tried to work out why and how Pope Emeritus Benedict may be the restrainer? and what this may mean for us? I still don't understand. Since that time, I not only pray for our Holy Father, Pope Francis but also for Pope Emeritus Benedict. I ask the holy angels to watch over Pope Emeritus Benedict in a particular way. I suppose I am hoping to get some sort of clarification regarding the meaning of the restrainer. I find the information in the above video with Father Gruner and Father Kramer, extremely interesting, especially as I have been unaware of this information. May God continue to protect our Dear Pope Emeritus Benedict and lead him and all of us to the safety of the shores of our heavenly home. Amen
