I don't know the day or the hour, but is apparent from all the indicator's, of Matthew 24 and of approved and alleged messages of this time, that we had better have our oil lamps lit.
The Catholic Church’s Push for a Multicultural Utopia Gets Weird By Susan D. Harris Motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who they claim was himself a migrant and a refugee; the Catholic Church is set to kick off their “Share the Journey” campaign on September 27, 2017. With left-leaning Pope Francis at the helm, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) intends to instruct all Catholics to get with the program and accept all kinds of immigrants in the U.S. -- or face eternal damnation. Worse yet, I’m going to outline how the Catholic Church is putting young people through questionable psychological exercises in an odd game of “be the refugee.” Hot off the presses and hitting a church near you comes the pamphlet, “Our Faith Teaches: Welcoming the Refugee and the Migrant.” The pamphlet begins the church’s two-year mass education effort to condition (especially United States) Catholics to support programs like “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) and apparently accept “global migration” by any immigrant group -- no questions asked. The “Share the Journey” website first introduces us to immigrant “Ruth” -- a name obviously meant to invoke the Biblical Ruth who was widowed and then followed her mother-in-law into a strange land -- and famously gave the world, “Whither thou goest, I will go.” Today’s Ruth, however, sadly “lived in the shadows” until President Obama introduced DACA. We are told that, “Over 780,000 youth have received protection from the DACA program since its inception by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2012.” The USCCB official statement is pretty clear on the subject and reads in part: The cancellation of the DACA program is reprehensible. It causes unnecessary fear for DACA youth and their families. These youth entered the U.S. as minors and often know America as their only home…This decision is unacceptable and does not reflect who we are as Americans…As people of faith, we say to DACA youth -- regardless of your immigration status (emphasis mine), you are children of God and welcome in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church supports you and will advocate for you. So they aren’t just welcoming illegals into the church spiritually and offering hot meals, they’re also saying “come to us and we’ll help you fight the government.” It’s much bigger than DACA, though. Over the next two years, the Catholic Church will attempt to convince every adherent to its faith that its long history of social justice is culminating in forcing every country, (but especially the United States) into accepting any and all illegal immigrants in the name of Jesus Christ. One of the two greatest commandments was, after all, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” (the name of the church’s first upcoming campaign for immigrants and refugees and if one fails to comply, that would obviously be a sin; and Jesus -- the scorned migrant -- was crucified for the forgiveness of our sins. If you think this is too over-the-top, consider that the “Social Justice” part of the church’s catechism is being invoked with a heavy-handedness not seen since its inception. From Article 3, Social Justice, we find the phrases: “Distribution of wealth…” “Social justice is linked to the common good…” “Society ensures social justice by providing the conditions that allow associations and individuals to obtain their due.” “The duty of making oneself a neighbor to others and actively serving them becomes even more urgent when it involves the disadvantaged, in whatever area this may be…This same duty extends to those who think or act differently from us.” “These differences belong to God's plan, who wills that each receive what he needs from others…These differences encourage and often oblige persons to practice…sharing of goods; they foster the mutual enrichment of cultures.” “The equal dignity of human persons requires the effort to reduce excessive social and economic inequalities” (In an interesting aside, this article comparing Socialism to Catholicism, then subsequently rejecting the idea, reads like it was written in 2017 rather than 1913.) This scrutiny of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is done now owing to the church’s current in-your-face activism and their upcoming agenda which begins with the “week of prayer and action for migrants and refugees.” Set to run from October 7-13, the main webpage prominently features a Muslim woman; and since all of the pictures beneath her appear to be of Muslims, one assumes they are the only type of “immigrant and refugee” that the church is concerned with. The toolkit offered for “prayer and action” has instructions for implementation at Mass, in Catholic schools, on college campuses, and at community-wide events. At Mass, one can obtain a “Global Migration” prayer and commitment sheet. This contains a prayer not for the refugees, but to condition the person praying into taking some kind of action on behalf of the refugees. Realizing it’s going to go against some people’s grain, you are even instructed to ask God to “Continue to call me beyond my comfort and into encounter.” Then you sign the commitment sheet as an informal contract that you are going to become an immigration activist. The sheet is officially stamped by the USCCB, Catholic Charities U.S.A., and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). It also suggests asking a representative from your local “Catholic Charities office (immigration legal services or refugee resettlement) to say a few words at the end of Mass.” The “Schools” program encourages Catholic high schools across America to become CRS Global High Schools; but wait…there’s more…you can choose the Silver, Gold or Platinum commitment level. For the Gold or Platinum, CRS will provide a certificate for graduating seniors “recognizing them as Global Advocates.” At this point, it appears your child has learned nothing in high school except how to be an immigration rights activist after repeatedly being immersed in the “Encounter migration” mentality. more.....
continued.... Remember, it was Pope Francis who urged everyone to change their attitudes towards immigrants/migrants/refugees from one of “defensiveness and fear” into a “culture of encounter” so we could “build a more just…world.” On college campuses, the plan gets a little more…weird. Students are instructed to organize “solidarity prayer vigils” and sign personal “advocacy letters.” They’re also told to hold “simulation experiences” in which groups of students form “refugee families.” They are then led through nine “stations” (reminiscent of ‘stations of the cross’) where they are forced to make difficult choices so they can “empathize” with refugees. Colleges can find other suggestions at the CRS “I Am Migration” webpage; or through the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. They’re urged to utilize social media to promote #ShareJourney. They can also visit Cabrini University’s WeDidNothingWrondg.Org -- an “Educational Simulation about Syrian Refugees created by the University’s “CRS Ambassadors.” (St. Frances Cabrini is the patron saint of migrants.) This program leads students through a more intensive course with “Refugee re-enactors” who “orient” the student then send them through a “smuggling” situation and a “journey obstacle course” which afterward requires a “journey debriefer.” Then it’s on to the “Reflection Area” which of course leads straight to the “Advocacy Area” -- because there’s no way they expect your personal reflection to lead to anything but advocacy. When the programming is complete, the human propaganda machine spits out a committed immigration rights activist and a passionate Global Advocate. (There is no mention of whether counselors are available should this exercise have a negative, profound or unwanted effect on the participants.) Lastly, organizing community-wide prayer vigils is encouraged, as well as praying the Rosary in accordance with the Catholic bishops of the United States pastoral letter, “Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity.” When Catholics do this, they are entering “into the mystery of the Mystical Body of Christ” because: As St. Paul teaches in his first letter to the Corinthians, the mystery is that we are made part of that Body through our Baptism. By learning to celebrate our individual differences while embracing our union with others, we grow not only in our understanding of Jesus, but in the knowledge of our own true selves. Of course there’s money involved too. The website set up to create Global Advocates who will fight for all migrants, legal and illegal, is asking for donations. “Share the Journey” has a “Help Now!” button with an option to “Help in the U.S.” When you click it, it doesn’t mention migrants or refugees at all. It simply reads “Catholic Charities U.S.A. -- Donate to help us end poverty.” As professor and columnist Victor David Hanson wrote: The history of nations is mostly characterized by ethnic and racial uniformity, not diversity… America is history’s exception… When immigration was controlled, measured, and coupled with a confident approach to assimilation, America thrived… The history of state multiculturalism is one of discord, violence, chaos, and implosion. The Catholic Church doesn’t seem to be teaching any of that in their instruction pamphlets. Instead they seem destined to systematically integrate the entire world into what they believe will be a multicultural utopia…apparently by the authority of God himself. Susan D.

The headline is a lie.....she did NOT say a mega tsunami would hit this week. Sister Lucia did not say when it would happen.
Wow. That is extremely disturbing. Why such a massive effort on this, when they are mostly silent on abortion? Why not make a huge effort like this on helping unborn babies?
Let's all go to Vatican city and claim asylum. Think of the benefits of having citizenship of the only Catholic state in the world.
Seriously, do you think they would give me the apartment vacated by the priest recuperating from his drugs and sex orgy? That was Pope Benedict's apartment when he was Prefect of the CDF but considering the recent shenanigans I might be afraid of things going bump in the night. Maybe an exorcism would be in order before I move in, or would they pull the red carpet out from under me if I dared suggest it?
No way. Enough reliable prophecy to know what is coming. ''Here the hammer stroke will fall hardest''. Gandalf
A proper activism by the Church should involve helping people in their own lands. Little is known in terms of such a violent uprooting of people from non-Western Civilisations en masse from their own traditional lands and way of life. We do know that the people brought from Africa to America in the nineteenth century, albeit against their will, claim to still have massive problems. The US should consider itself fortunate that its major source of refugees is a primarily Catholic one. Europe faces conversion into a Middle-East type entity, but, no matter how foolish is the policy of the Church, I think we in Europe are getting what we deserve for a century of virtual suicide, firstly by killing one another and more finally by refusing to reproduce ourselves. The Church's well-intentioned foolishness may well be God's punishment for us. What has been 'Western Civilisation' in the last few centuries is really only a parody of what was known as Christendom and which was fatally wounded by the Reformation. This parody has degenerated into wholesale corruption. Maybe it's part of God's plan for the whole Babylon to collapse in warfare and chaos, death and disease, a complete annihilation of the old dying order. There are approved prophecies of two huge Chastisements. We may be about to enter the first of these, perhaps already in the early stages. It may take centuries for another civilisation to reassemble itself from the ashes and dust of our present one. There might be few of what we would now call European Westerners left-so be it, such things aren't crucial and we did have our chance but quite blew it. No matter how long it takes for order to return, God has as much time as it takes. I wonder if all this talk about antichrist and the imminent end of the world doesn't have a little Western pride in it, as if what happens to the US and Europe is all that matters. The approved Catholic prophecies seem to tell us that we are nowhere near world's end. The seeds of the Faith have been sown in Africa and China, for example. They may be the future, perhaps we in the West are finished. If so, we finished ourselves.

I find it a bit unsettling that the last hurricane was named Jose (Joseph) and this one is Maria (Mary). Plus the places they are destroying all have names associated with Catholicism - the Virgin islands, all named after apostles/saints... Guadalupe, etc. It's as though there is a spirit of mockery in these storms. I heard a woman who witnessed the destruction of Barbuda say that there was a demon in the hurricane. I would well believe it.
Yes. I thought the same thing Adoremus. God is permitting this clearly and it is certainly a chastisement but even the name hurricane refers to a bad spirit. It is as if here too the Restrainer has been removed.

EXPOSED: Hillary Clinton Moved 800K From Her Campaign To Help Fund ANTIFA September 18, 2017 by Lucian Wintrich 368 Comments Hillary, who long during the campaign trail condemned “dark-money” Super-PACs, has funneled over 800K from her Campaign over to one of these very same outfits. It has been revealed that the failed presidential candidate’s Super-PAC, “Onward Together”, is heavily backing “resistance” and Alt-Left extremist groups such as ANTIFA. In building investigations, Daily Caller first discovered that Hillary transferred a mass sum of money from her campaign over to Onward Together: Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed 2016 presidential campaign to Onward Together shortly before announcing the group’s launch in May, documents the campaign filed with the FEC reveal. Now, today, it has been revealed by Offended America exactly where that money is going: Daily Caller reached out to five different Antifa linked groups, and only one was willing to deny donations from Onward Together. Soros-linked group, Indivisible, denied receiving financial support from Clinton or Onward Together. “Onward Together has not given any financial support to us,” Helen Kalla, an Indivisible spokesperson, wrote to Daily Caller. Kalla added that Clinton’s group has “been amplifying and highlighting our work through their digital networks,” which she explained has consisted of “retweeting [Indivisible], and they’ve highlighted our work via their emails to their list too.” According to Federal Election Commission documents, Hillary Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed political campaign “Hillary for America” to her new Super-PAC “Onward Together”, before she announced the existence of the PAC in May, 2017. Amid other disturbing details, it’s now been revealed that “Onward Together” is a 501(c)4 “Social Welfare” organization, which means that it’s not required to disclose many of the details of its operations to the public or disclose who its donors are. By receiving campaign funds, and then furnishing the funds to Antifa terrorist groups, Clinton may have implicated many of her supported in a crime. Hillary Clinton, now too old to run for office, will go back to doing what she’s always done best, round up money from anonymous sources, and then use that money to influence elections and peddle power. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...clinton-moved-800k-campaign-help-fund-antifa/
https://www.voanews.com/a/stanislav-petrov-who-averted-nuclear-war-dies-at-77/4035266.html Stanislav Petrov, Who Averted Nuclear War, Dies at 77 September 19, 2017 12:09 PM FILE - Former Soviet missile defense forces officer Stanislav Petrov poses for a photo at his home in Fryazino, Moscow region, Russia, Aug. 27, 2015. Petrov, a former Soviet military officer known in the West as "The man who saved the world'' for his role in averting a nuclear war over a false missile alarm, died in May at age 77. MOSCOW — Stanislav Petrov, a former Soviet military officer known in the West as "the man who saved the world" for his role in averting a nuclear war over a false missile warning at the height of the Cold War, has died at 77. Petrov's German friend, Karl Schumacher, said Tuesday that he died on May 19. Schumacher called Petrov earlier this month to wish him a happy birthday, but was told by Petrov's son Dmitry that his father had died. The Russian state Zvezda TV station only reported the death on Tuesday. Petrov was on night duty at the Soviet military's early warning facility outside Moscow on Sept. 26, 1983, when an alarm went off, signaling the launch of several U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles. The 44-year-old lieutenant colonel had to quickly determine whether the attack was real. He chose to consider it a false alarm, which it was. The incident was particularly harrowing as it happened at one of the tensest periods of the Cold War when the Soviet Union appeared to genuinely fear a surprise U.S. nuclear attack. A few weeks earlier, the Soviets had shot down a passenger plane flying to South Korea from the U.S., suspecting it of spying, killing all 269 people aboard. The United States, after a series of provocative military maneuvers, was preparing for a major NATO exercise that simulated preparations for a nuclear attack. In a 2015 interview with The Associated Press, Petrov recalled the excruciating moments at the secret Serpukhov-15 control center when the fate of the world was in his hands. "I realized that I had to make some kind of decision, and I was only 50/50," Petrov told the AP. The responsibility was enormous. If he had judged it a real launch, the top Soviet military brass and the Kremlin would have had no time for extra analysis in a few minutes left before the incoming nuclear-tipped missiles hit Soviet territory. They would have likely ordered a retaliatory strike, triggering a nuclear war. "It was this quiet situation and suddenly the roar of the siren breaks in and the command post lights up with the word 'LAUNCH,'" Petrov told the AP. "This hit the nerves. I was really taken aback. Holy cow!" Within minutes of the first alarm, the siren sounded again, warning of a second U.S. missile launch. Soon, the system was reporting that five missiles had been launched. Petrov recalled standing up as the alarm siren blared and seeing that the others were all looking at him in confusion. "My team was close to panic and it hit me that if panic sets in then it's all over," he said. Petrov told his commander that the system was giving false information. He was not at all certain, but he was driven by the fact that Soviet ground radar could not confirm a launch. The radar system picked up incoming missiles only well after any launch, but he knew it to be more reliable than the satellites. The false alarm was later determined to have been caused by a malfunction of the satellite, which mistook the reflection of the sun off high clouds for a missile launch. Petrov was not rewarded for his actions. In fact, he received a reprimand for failing to correctly fill the duty log and retired from the military the following year. Although his commanding officer did not support Petrov at the time, he was the one who revealed the incident after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. If Col. Gen. Yury Votintsev had not spoken out, Petrov said he himself "would have forgotten about it like a bad dream." After his story was told, Petrov has received accolades, international awards and became known as "the man who saved the world." But his role won him little fame in his homeland. He continued to live in a small, unkempt apartment in the Moscow suburb of Fryazino. There have been no official reports or statements about his death from any Russian government agency. Schumacher said it was important for him to let the world know about Petrov's passing because "we owe this man a lot."
7.1 earthquake just hit Mexico. Wonder if Dutch will go on line to explain this one....after the 3 or so that just hit Mexico recently.
