    AN,

    I just tried the link of this clip at Spirit Daily and it worked fine.

    Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
     
  3. Do you know I was not able to see it play even there? So, I tried going directly to the YouTube channel where it originated and, viola! I’ll provide the link in case others come across a similar glitch. Pretty fascinating to watch because of the timing of the illumination— first, right before the explosion so as to get someone’s attention to start their video, and then directly after the explosion. That did not look like a faltering light to me. But, then again, I am biased!

  6. Earthquake felt in North Carolina brings reading during Sunday Mass to life

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CNS) — Scripture really came alive Aug. 9 for Catholics in Charlotte.

    A 5.1-magnitude earthquake originating near Sparta was felt in Charlotte a little after 8 a.m. Sunday — just as parishioners at St. Gabriel Church were listening to the first reading of Sunday’s Mass:

    “At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, ‘Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.’ A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD — but the LORD was not in the wind.

    “After the wind there was an earthquake — but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire– but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

    St. Gabriel’s pastor, Father Richard Sutter, texted the Catholic News Herald, Charlotte’s diocesan newspaper, to say that they felt the earthquake during the 8 a.m. outdoor Mass, just as the lector was reading the words, “After the wind there was an earthquake — but the LORD was not in the earthquake.”

    According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Aug. 9 earthquake occurred about 2.5 miles southeast of Sparta, and had been “preceded by at least four small foreshocks” that had started about 25 hours earlier.

    The pastor of the Catholic mission in Sparta, Father Cory Catron, said everything was well and no damage is apparent.

    “Made for good homily material, though,” he said.

    Father Catron said he had felt some of the foreshocks in the area earlier, too.

    In his homily, he joked about being worried that the next thing to happen would be fire — a pastor’s nightmare — but he also used the opportunity to remind people that God is constantly present in our lives, and we must not be distracted by the noise and problems of the world around us, but listen for His voice in the stillness.

    “God is found in the silence,” Father Catron said, and he encouraged people to pray.

    The quake also came at a poignant moment for parishioners at St. Mark Church in Huntersville: the sign of pPeace.

    Father Melchesideck Yumo was saying the 7:30 a.m. Mass, where he had just given a homily on finding God’s peace amid the storms of life: “There are a lot of storms on this journey, like the present pandemic and all of the strange happenings around the world. What do we do amidst these storms? We can follow the example of Peter, and pray, ‘Lord, save me.’ We pray to God because He is in control of everything in heaven and on earth. Jesus walked on the water today in the Gospel to show that everything is under His feet. Our faith should help to dispel every fear. For Jesus says, ‘Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid.'”

    Video from the church’s livestream camera showed very slight shaking and a couple of parishioners looking around in a reaction of curiosity, just as Father Yumo says, “The peace of the Lord be with you always.”

    The Sparta quake was felt as far south as Atlanta and as far north as Virginia, according to the USGS.

    The USGS notes that “large earthquakes are relatively uncommon in the region,” although “moderately damaging earthquakes strike the inland Carolinas every few decades, and smaller earthquakes are felt about once each year or two.”

    The last similar magnitude earthquake in the area occurred in 1916, a 5.2-magnitude quake in the Great Smoky Mountains, according to the USGS.

    Just wondering if any one else has noticed this happening. Pouring rain in a cloudless sky. Happened to me and my husband a couple of weeks ago and I looked up at the sky and there were no clouds. I've seen a few posts on Fb of this happening. My grandson just posted pictures of this happening{he lives in another state}. Here's one of his pictures of it with a rainbow in a tree.

    I have been puzzling recently over a Covid vaccine and huge warnings over it. My understanding is we will not be "forced" to get the Mark until AFTER the Warning.

    So let's take that concept apart.

    Sorry I don't have time right now to put this in a more directly appropriate thread for covid or the Warning.

    Funny you should bring this up...I was watching the news last night, and there was a report about people in Florida seeing lightening bolts on a cloudless, sunny day. Very strange. On another weather note, it has been an unusually hot and humid summer in my neck of the woods, day after day of high temps. Rain has been nearly nonexistent, as we have managed to miss all of the usual summer downpours in my corner of the state. Our lawn looks like straw. :(

    Similar here.

    It's our "rainy season."

    Storm clouds start building around Noon.

    At night we either get a) nothing or b) brief burst of thunder/lightning/rain (less than 10 minutes' duration). Usually a) -- nothing.

    Yes, it does spell it out. I was referring to
    the intensity and virulence of the evil.:cry:

    Summer is monsoons and this year there are none. It's hot with no rain and few clouds. Unless we will have a late monsoon season, very, very dry.
