Well, I am a crank as well cause it makes perfect sense to me padraig. I take very seriously what Our Lady said in places like Fatima and Akita. That said, I am always reminded of Francisco. I have much penance to make. More than I could ever hope to I am sure. I am beginning to think that no amount of talking to people about the spiritual state of things will yield results.
There's a live feed of the aurora borealis at rt here : https://www.rt.com/on-air/403243-aurora-borealis-live-norway/ I'm guessing it's because of the recent solar activity. Very beautiful.
As I sat during mass this morning, I pondered on how I am so angry or upset sometimes when people I thought cared about me, take me for granted. How it is very hard to forgive. Then The thought came to me, "Is this not what I do to the Lord." He gave me a guardian angel to watch over me faithfully through thick and thin. How many things have I taken for granted. I pleaded at that moment for mercy and forgiveness, knowing he will always forgive. I think as brothers and sisters in Christ here on this forum we need each other so desperately in these troubled times. Crewdog, you remind me so much of my father who had passed away 10 years ago. He kept everything very real for me, even during my rebellious times. His eyes were always set on God. There are many new here to this forum that can use your wisdom. Please reconsider coming back
AED, I have been away from the forum for a long time, but reading recently on a regular basis. I logged in simply because of your post. Thank you. I feel as though I would have written exactly the same had I been more erudite. You have encapsulated precisely my own experience. On another note, thanks to you, Padraig, if you read this. You do a very fine job in running this Forum. God bless you and all of you here.
Like Padre Pio I have the most a great love for your country. being not the least blind to her great failings. But I hope... I suspect a great come back . I do indeed ,sir A great, great come back, no matter the moral collapse in Europe, you out step us by a hundred leauges
I know that many people say that because there is no mention of the US in the bible or prophecy that we are doomed to destruction but I say there there is mention. Daniel 11:39 tells us the AC will make war against the strongest fortresses. First though comes the refinement. Just my take mind you.
my reading would be chastisement and recovery by the way where I live in Ireland abortion is totally illegal so is the so called 'marrigiage' of perverts
You're lucky enough to have the Free Presbyterians in charge. More Christian than most Catholics down here.
