    I had an experience some years ago of having the company of an angel for a few weeks. He showed me how I was offending the Lord in my thoughts and especially in my words. One more prominent trait was my tendency to give half stories in conversation, to tell someone something that I wasn't totally sure of being true, and which would cause them to worry. He invited me to get into the habit of running every thought and word past him first and that I would know by the peace or unease in my heart whether it was hurting the Lord. Needless to say my vocabulary capacity lessened a great deal.

    Father Ripperger says that if you pray to your Guardian Angel to show you some faults he will be very,very keen to do so.##

    We also know this from the writings of the saints and mystics that this is true. St Frances of Rome is a great example:

    https://www.reuters.com/resizer/v2/...ae70be1140cfa1ef8b6d4f7c&width=960&quality=80

    I would be too afraid to do such a thing. Very afraid of what he might tell me.

    I had a friend one time who asked God to send him suffering to save sinners. When he told me what he had done I must have shown my shock on my face. When he asked me why I told him I would be terrified to make such a prayer.

    Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian posted a letter to Americans on X on April 1. :

    In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

    To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life:


    Iran – by this very name, character, and identity – is one of the oldest continuous civilisations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination.

    Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers–and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbours – Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it.

    The Iranian people harbour no enmity towards other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness–not a temporary political stance.


    For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful – the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented.

    Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran – a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war.

    Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done – and continues to do – is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defence, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression.


    Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’etat – an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalisation of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians towards US policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression – twice, in the midst of negotiations – against Iran.

    Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled – from roughly 30 per cent before the Islamic Revolution to over 90 per cent today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives.

    At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people’s lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible.

    This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behaviour? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country “back to the stone ages” serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States’ global standing?

    Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the US government – choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor.

    Attacking Iran’s vital infrastructure – including energy and industrial facilities – directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran’s borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution.

    Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar–shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests?

    Is “America First” truly among the priorities of the US government today?

    I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation – an integral part of this aggression – and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants – educated in Iran – who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

    Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures–resilient, dignified, and proud...

    The biggest joke in Trump’s speech was saying that regime change in Iran was not the goal of the military operation and that the country’s new leadership is less radical.

    I believe panic will spread like wildfire once the effects of the crisis caused by the war begin to impact the Western banking sector. Perhaps not in the United States, but in Europe, a “Lehman Brothers effect” may occur in the coming months.

    There seems to be very strong mystical/prophetic undercurrents to all that is happening at the moment. This war centres between the Jews and Persia and is such a strong scriptural type. I take it that it is prefiguring of the Jews being defeated and driven once again into exile. Only this time it will lead the Jews to mass conversion and acceptance of the Messiah.

    Another sign is that the climax of this war comes at Passion/Eastertime. In fact the first, 'Boots on the ground', may actually come on Good Friday! How much is a sign is that? Moreover this Good Friday appears to be the exact date Jesus died:

    https://spiritdaily.org/blog/on-what-date-did-jesus-actually-die/

    These events moreover are gravely affecting the entire World and appear to mark the final great onset of the Tribulation and the downfall of the Great American Empire and the long prophesied Fall of Babylon which is the USA and the West.


    Revelation 18



    The Fall of Babylon the Great
    18 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried [a]mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the [b]abundance of her luxury.”

    4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins [c]have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered [d]to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived [e]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who [f]judges her.

    The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall
    9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

    11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have [g]gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches [h]came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’

    19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she [i]is made desolate.’

    20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you [j]holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”

    Finality of Babylon’s Fall
    21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”

    I woke up this morning, thinking about the land invasion. It will really test the authority of the officers, who will likely be hand-picked ‘Christian’ Zionists. Will they be able to stop their men from surrendering in what will be a hopeless situation? This is presuming that the attackers even survive to that point.

    It seems that Hellset has fired the army chief-of-staff, no doubt for being found guilty of sanity. His choice of a successor is not going to be based on competence, but on finding someone fanatical enough to pursue the reigning ideology.

    Something wicked this way comes.

    I must add that all this is happening on an Easter weekend when Christians are being denied entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

    Since Zion Don’s Iran War 2.0,

    Third Temple Pete has fired:

    Gen. Randy George (4-star, Army Chief of Staff) — asked to retire immediately/ousted from his post.

    • Gen. David Hodne (commanding general of Army Transformation and Training Command).

    • Maj. Gen. William Green (2-star, Army Chief of Chaplains).



    what do I know but Randy George probably has forgotten more about ‘warfighting’ than Hegseth has ever learned from being in NG units fighting massively outgunned/disadvantaged guys in sandals with AKs...

    They lie about and conceal the number of those US soldiers killed, allegedly, it is a very large number; 27 bases were hit, more than half of them completely destroyed, hotels with soldiers were also struck, etc. They are transporting them to Germany, and Israel is not allowing the use of its shelters for American soldiers, who have to dig trenches themselves…


    They are probably using various AI algorithms on the internet to block posts from families and remove different videos. I was following a reliable Telegram channel, and it was taken down immediately during the war; the police showed up at his door and at the doors of everyone who collaborated. I’m talking about the Middle East—information only comes through Russia… That’s the reason why the owner of Telegram was arrested about a year and a half ago in France and jailed, and he had to give them access to IP addresses and the algorithm for Telegram.

    Russian Embassy Outraged After US-Israeli Strikes Damage Orthodox Church In Tehran

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/r...israeli-strikes-damage-orthodox-church-tehran

    I have no doubt at all that US and Israel will attack on Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter, and Easter Monday… That would be truly demonic, in line with Jewish and Trump’s general behavior and the people around him… Putin declared a ceasefire for Christmas, and we’re talking about a man who is a former communist. So-called self-proclaimed Christians have no mercy, neither toward God nor toward people.

    He who takes up the sword shall perish by the sword!

    The utter defeat of the USraeli forces in this illegal massacre would be a just outcome. I pity especially the young American soldiers who no doubt voted en mass for Trump and his empty promises. These Zionists, christian and otherwise are unhinged loon bins who are calling down judgement on themselves. No one wants to see suffering and death but it is extremely difficult not to hope for a massive Iranian victory. If it could be specifically targeted to the warmongers it would be a dream come true.

    I think a lot of US soldiers, including senior officers, are getting out of it all by filing conscientious objector status. I think there was pretty well a mutiny on one of their aircraft carriers.
