It will begin here

This is exactly what Maria Esperanza warned about that this would spread all over the place like a forest fire and cause never ending wars.

I am thinking that if Reza Pahlavi comes to power in Iran, due to a possible collapse of the Ayatollahs, it would realign the entire Middle East. I find it very likely that he would serve as a bridge for mediation between Israel and all of its Arab neighbors.

 

Well we can have peace in our hearts, even if there is no peace anywhere else.

 

I think there is a genuine possibility that things will get a lot better.

 

Wow. The implications of this are stunning. It makes my head spin.

 

This is very interesting, but the thing is that Venezeula already had oil sanctions as did Iran and Russia. My understanding is that oil was being laundered from Russia, but it was happening via Middle Eastern OPEC countries as well as India, possibly China. Europe has been buying Russian oil the entire duration of the war. What this means for Russia I don't know, but I know China was purchasing 70-85% of Venezeula's oil. So it seems to me that China and Russia are going to be getting a lot closer, and oil in fact will increase in price. Especially if both Iran and Venezuela production slows down due to their current issues.

Also, if China was buying 70-85% of Venezeulan oil it wasn't because Russia was laundering it through Venezeula. Highly inefficient. Russia simply pipes it into China. Russia also does open sea transfers of oil from tanker to tanker in the Pacific.

 

If this is true, my thoughts go to thinking what a cornered person does- either throw hands up or go out in a blaze. Scary times.

 

This is only a side note not relevant to the current topic, but has anyone noticed how everyone who is writing posts like these on social media all sound exactly the same? The writing style is the same--same structure, same voice, same everything. Are they all using AI to write their posts?

 

Please bear with me here. Nothing on the level of this thought has ever happened to me. I don't know what to think and I am scared.

As some of you might know, I am a very weak sinner, and need to put all the details of that weakness out there first to emphasize this.... I have a nature prone to addictions and trouble staying away from my mental weaknesses and bad habits (to movies, to TV, the internet, a video game or two, overspending on frivolous things, of eating too much, for the sinful habit of watching mostly older movies people uploaded in violation of copyright law to the internet, and being guilty of procrastination, oversleeping and having difficulty getting up out of bed to go to Mass on some Sundays and having difficulty with sins of gossip even if it is information about public figures that has been written about somewhere before, sins of personal impurity like impure actions and looking at impure images when severely tempted and the cross and burden of same-sex attraction including a lingering mental unacted upon crush or two due to residual fallout from how abominable and despicable I was as a teenager), I am so self-conscious and scrupulous, I tell little lies to keep myself out of trouble (like saying I did something when I haven't done it yet due to procrastination), I sometimes don't pray very much outside of a few Our Fathers and Hail Marys and pleas to God and Mary to help and save me, I travel in some extremely worldly circles online and have an earthy vocabulary (although I go out of my way never to use the Lord's name in vain), I pray for the souls of those I know but I am too much of a coward to tell people I deeply care for to change their sinful ways or views in public, I have a temper at times, I struggle to forget and fully forgive those who emotionally hurt me in the past, I have a constant fear of the apocalypse (I read a lot of the private revelation messages and I fear the earthquakes, diseases, the spiritual confusion, fear of not having electric, indoor heat and cooling, food and water, and the religious persecution and fear of being without anyone I know with me) and fear that I may die of fright on the day of the warning when I see my sins in full or might fall for one of satan's tricks to trip up the faithful believers), I panic and my mind races in the confessional and I usually for get something I meant to confess which makes me so nervous the rare times that I go up for Communion right after Confession, because most of the time I feel unworthy to go up), I have a troubled mind although I am on medication that still makes me think several times a day that I am unforgivable (due to verbally answering a question of what Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was while under extreme mental duress one night in 2016) I wanted to get to confession last Saturday but a sickness, a common cold that I had from late Tuesday night or Wednesday to now, prevented me from going....and I am definitely months and many sins overdue to go..... I am that bad. That spiritually unsound and sinful, with my only good personality traits (being kind toward everyone I interact with , trying my best not to have any feelings of vanity, not trying to be hard on others and for trying not to have negative thoughts about others,, viewing nearly everyone in my everyday life as being better than me in some way and giving them the benefit of the doubt, wanting to serve others rather than demanding things from them, for putting other's wants and needs above my own for the most part, being extremely distrustful of what the media and society and health groups try to push on people that is contrary to the law of God, being pro-life, anti-abortion, contraception and euthanasia, not having physically having had sex with another for fear of offending God, wishing happiness, grace, and Heavenly salvation for everyone, praying for lapsed Catholics, atheists and agnostics to change their mind about God, for praying for people in actively sinful lifestyles or "transgenders" to realize their errors and come to God for lives of purity and salvation, having a deep loving respect for the Blessed Virgin Mary) come obviously from God's grace or Mary's intercession than anything inherent in me. I know I am bad and weak.

But today, as I was getting out of the shower after getting cleaned up, I feel as though Mary or maybe Jesus was sending me a point of internal speculation on what seems to be unfolding. Everybody here knows that things are bad in the world right now and especially in the Vatican where it seems as though the sharks are about to try to kneecap the liturgy and bring on the abomination of desolation by kowtowing to the spirit and lack of morals of the current age. I fear about this meeting that is about to happen at the Vatican and at the end of the Jubilee year tomorrow, and about the fact that we might be seeing the warning and miracle by mid-April of this year. But then the thought, which must have been supernatural, it wasn't me, had the mental suggestion that what if the Garabandal statement of the pope going to Moscow before the Warning means that the pope won't physically go to Russia, but that the current occupent of the Vatican would sell out the Church to the spirit of the age beginning with that meeting tomorrow. Any thoughts?

 

Maybe I’m talking nonsense, but Khamenei could, in a moment of desperation in the face of an imminent downfall, completely renounce his country’s sovereignty by handing control of military assets and the Strait of Hormuz to Russia and China—or to one of the two.

When Trump attacked the Persian nation last year, there was speculation that the strait might be closed, strangling global oil trade. However, that was not in the strategic interest of Russia and China at the time, since Putin was seeking a favorable deal in Ukraine, and China was maintaining its relationship of mutual economic dependence with the United States. But now Trump seems to be closing off all possible exits.

 

I've noticed this as well. Almost everything is AI it seems.

 

Everything is going to be ok, trust me on this. God loves you so much, He knows your struggles. If you are going to mass most of those sins if not all of them have been removed when you said the act of contrition. While going to weekly or monthly confession is good, know that your spiritual ancestors in generations past might have made it to confession only a couple times a year. The fact that you are actually struggling with your sexual orientation instead of giving into it is incredible. I will pray for you.

It could be that the Pope offers a kind of olive leaf, for lack of a better word, to the Orthodox church (Moscow). I don't know that the spirit of the age is super strong in the Orthodox church though. They are virtually the same as us with the exception of a few things. Same sacraments, Apostolic succession. We really don't know what will happen though and even if we did what can you do other than what you are already doing.

God created you knowing you would be going through these times. So I know you have everything you need to go through them, please try not to be afraid. The cross can get wild at times, but the worst thing that happens is you die and then you don't have to deal with suffering and the nonsense here anymore. Perfect IMO. Keep going forward, keep carrying your cross and if the prophecies scare you I would back off on them. I like prophecy because it gives me hope, not that I am perfect and I will likely catch a lot of flack during the warning. I am exhausted with all the death and violence here.

I once had an experience where it became understood that this universe we live in is nothing special. God can make and destroy universes constantly, but this one we live in is something of a proving ground. Essentially this isn't our true home, Jesus has a place made up for you on the other side. Did you know St. Francis told his brothers to treat money like dust? It's just like that. Everything here is dust. When it is over here for you, you won't give this world a second thought.

 

Propaganda. It can be made with AI, but when several accounts have the same talking points, they are trying to push a narrative. This one seems to be that Russia is bad and Trump is outmaneuvering Russia. Russia won't be able to keep funding their war.

But it seems to me that Russia is going to be making a lot more money off of oil now.

 

I mentioned previously hearing sn interview with a man whose father was KGB and who himself has stayed connected to Russian politics and policies even though a citizen of the US. He says the war in Ukraine will end but Puton's next move is to regroup and then invade Europe. It lines up with Blessed Elena Aiello.

 

100% agree with you. If oil does end up going in price it is only going to help Russia. IIRC many nations are already trading oil outside of the petro-dollar. As we all know, prophecy tells us Russia is going to end up chastising the west in Europe and there is no sign from what I can tell that this is stopping.

Trump and Putin had a summit in Alaska recently and I think a lot of the future has already been hammered out. I think the US will be the dominant force in the Americas, while Russia and China will be in their respective areas. When Russia attacks the EU I think it will be more like liberation.

 

I think these videos are possibly AI, but the content is good. I watched both fully and they give a very different perspective on what is happening in Venezuela. It's more about an attack on the City of London. The following is a short describing a lot of what is happening in Venezuela

This is a longer video on the situation from the same person, Susan Kokinda

 

I have two thoughts on your post:

1. Go easy on yourself
2. It says "be not afraid" in the bible 365 times. It might be useful to meditate on that....

 

I was thinking about a friend who told me she not afraid at all about what is going to happen.

That seems wonderful but for some reason it concerned me so I could not stop thinking and praying about it. Then I wondered about the martyrs who died for the Faith. Were they never afraid? Well imagine if they had never been the littlest but scared what would be the virtue in what they did? Of they were not afraid then it was just too easy and kind of useless.

Also I used to think the saints were the guys who had everything and never felt lost and confused. But what would have been the good of that? It would have been too easy. Nothing would have counted.

We all get lost, we all get frightened. We are all sinners ,even the saints. But the difference between them and most of the rest of us is they were little enough to let God pick them up and run with them in His arms.
