A great storm is coming!

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 12:28:36 GMT

THERE is a GREAT STORM coming upon the EARTH: By Philip Illsley.

I started to write this in April 2018:

There is a Great storm coming upon the Earth This is why we must all take advantage of this time of Mercy to wipe our souls spotlessly clean and to be prepared for “The Great Storm “ coming upon the earth. I have sensed for many years now that this Great Storm is coming, and not just the storms of mother nature, but the one’s created by man himself, economic, social, and political storm’s that will change the face of the world. As one moves towards the eye of the storm the more powerful the winds become as

we see daily today what is happening in the whole world today are we all not witnessing the

unfolding of “ The Seals of Revelation”

An event or a series of events that according to St John in the book of Revelation, Take PEACE away from the earth so that people would slaughter one another. Look at the Land grabbing of Russia in the Crimea and the Ukraine and Russia’s relationship with Syria, and look at the recent nerve agent attack by Russia in Salisbury on Sergei Skripel and his daughter Yulia and the all too familiar nerve attacks on the people of Syria.

The leaders of Russia and Syria have no hesitation in using any means including the use of these “ Banned “ nerve agents. Russia’s War of words with the West there is NO Doubt that Mr Putin the Russian Leader wants back all that his predecessors gave away.

Look at the tensions in North and South Korea

Palestine and Iran, these or a combination of them all could begin World War 3.

Many Popes have warned this, and is precisely the Plan of The Masons, The Illuminati, and those secret societies that seek One world order to “ Communize “ The whole world, There motto is “ Order out of Chaos ”

Our Blessed Lady, “ The Queen of Prophets “ has foretold at Garabandal, That Communism would come back Communism would again appear and cause great suffering before its reign of terror is Suddenly Ended, And this is the First Warning at Garabandal ; “ The Tribulation of Communism “ Led by Russia.

“ A ration of wheat costs a days pay” very simply this seal speaks of hyper inflation throughout the whole world. Many leading Economists and market experts are coming out one by one speaking in the most dire terms of another economic crash in the near future that would be horrific leading to civil upheaval everywhere. And the European Union is in danger of imploding as nation after nation turns to the Far right like the recent election in Italy.

Economic collapse and chaos leads to massive deaths by the sword famine and plague.

A Global Pandemic has been forecast and expected for many years now and it is often amidst disasters that viruses spread most rapidly whether it is Ebola, or Avian Flu emerging at the end of this “Anti Biotic Era “ these superbugs are poised to spread world wide and cause major fatalities.

CHRISTIANITY; also becomes a central target the growing distain towards Christianity and today through Islamic Jihad Christians are being Martyred in many parts of the world.

<image002.jpg>

As all of these events above converge all causing tremendous world wide upheaval.

“ A Great Shaking Occurs”

As the Heavens are peeled back and the Judgement of God is perceived in the interior of every soul. It is an Illumination of conscience.

“ A Warning” that brings us all

to the eye of the storm.

Again this is what Our Blessed Lady the Queen of Prophets foretold at Garabandal in the 1960’s.

There was silence in Heaven for about half an hour; ( Rev 8.1)

“ DO NOT BE AFRAID “ My Friends is written in the bible 365 TIMES :

That is a daily reminder from God, To Live every day Fearless and we do this by being close to God.

The Trials that are coming particularly to the Church and the whole world will require a great grace for us all to keep our faith and to keep and strengthen our faith so that we will

Not Be Afraid.

It is the same grace given to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to strengthen Him an Angel from Heaven appeared to Him ( Luke 22.43)

This great Grace will wake up souls and SHAKE them from their Darkness.

Our Lady at Medjugorje has pointed many times in Her Monthly and yearly message to the world to prepare for a “ Blessing” Pray with humble devotion obedience and trust in the Heavenly Father.

Trust as I have trusted when it was said to Me that I will bring the Blessing of the promise, may out of your hearts and from your lips always come forth “ May Your Will Be Done “

Therefore trust and pray so that I can intercede for you before the Lord For Him to give you the Heavenly Blessing and fill you with The Holy Spirit. This also invokes the Vision of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich 1774- 1824 in which she saw from Marys Immaculate Heart.

A Grace flowing to the Church that gathered souls to Christ;

On March 18th 2016, Our Lady of

Medjugorje confirmed this theme with Mirjana revealing that the grace that is coming is two fold in nature.

Through your love for My Son and through your prayer, I desire for God’s Light to illuminate you and God’s Mercy to fill you.

In this way, I desire for the darkness and the shadow of death which wants to encompass and mislead you to be driven away.

I desire for you to feel the joy of the Blessing of God’s promise. Our Lady is indicating through Her Messages at Medjugorje that God is going to pour out a grace that will eradicate fear while giving us a taste of the joy that lies ahead.

My Friends Our Lady is preparing Her Children Her Army of Prayer Warriors to go into the darkness of our times and Free Souls for Christ. She is preparing Her Children, for a great Blessing that will flood the world;

Cry out She says; In The Name of the

Heavenly Father that He may illuminate you with the Holy Spirit and through the Holy Spirit you will become a spring of God’s love.

All those who do not know My Son, all those thirsting for the love and peace of My Son, Will drink from this spring.

What is coming is a blessing that will culminate in a global outpouring of the Holy Spirit;

This will destroy the power of Satan and usher in a “ New Springtime” a renewal of the face of the earth in which; “ The Divine Will “ Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. When The Divine Will Reigns on Earth – Heaven Touches the Earth.

This important Prayer came from God to the Visionary; Vassula Ryden on Feb 13th 2016: To Help us all back to Our Father: URGENTLY

Asking for this Prayer to be said sincerely !

<image007.jpg>

“ Yahweh, My God” Let my prayer reach You. hear our cry of Mercy and for help, Forgive those who have no faith in You, my God, and no trust either in Your Power to Save us; Do not blast the lights out of our days, withering with it in a flash the earth, but in Your Fatherly Compassion pity us, and forgive us;

Do not allow the evil one to shed our blood like water; forgive our guilt, express Your anger, remembering our weakness; Hold back Your angels of disaster, giving us one more chance to prove ourselves worthy of Your Kindness; I put my trust in You Amen.

How Gladly will I receive this Prayer; This Prayer that will make, Me Relent ! Daughter I will Bless all those who will Sincerely Pray this Prayer; Let this prophecy be heard; The Day and The Hour belong to Me Your God; This is what you will tell to those who will ask you the time and hour of My Justice.

LOVE – LOVES -- YOU :

The Title “ Lord of Hosts comes from the Hebrew expression” “ Yahew Sabaoth “ and is used hundreds of times to refer to;

“ GOD THE LORD OF HOST’S IS WITH US”

“ Yahweh Sabaoth” God of Host’s Who is like unto Your Might and Faithfulness; I Love you

Pray for Pope Francis 1st and be Loyal to our Pope.

WE MUST ALL TODAY pray for Pope Francis 1St and be loyal to our Pope because he is the voice of God for all Humanity and he who listens to him Listens to GOD and he who is with Pope Francis is With CHRIST and he who is Not with him is in ERROR. True Catholics see in His Authority as Pope a great Gift from Heaven some Do Not believe in his Infallibility as Head of the Universal Church and THINK they have the right to REFUTE his works and His teachings and MOCK HIM he who DESPISES HIM DESPISES CHRIST !

Marjana and Philip Illsley in Medjugorje

Marjana has said that it hurts me to hear these critics because The Pope Is Pope and I believe with all my heart that the Holy Spirit gives us the Pope we need and that we should love Him and Pray for Him and Philip Illsley agrees . Philip says we must all pray for Our Pope and be loyal to Him and his responsibility as head of the Church surpasses all human strength and which Divine assistance is Indispensable. This assistance from God comes to him through the intermediary of all Our Daily Prayers for Him.

The Last warnings for all Mankind

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 11:53:32 GMT

Our Mothers warnings tell us to wake up that Divine Retribution is coming for our Sins

Our Mothers warnings tell us all to wake up to the fact that hard times are coming in the form of Divine Retribution for the sins of all mankind. Make no mistake that whatever lies ahead for all mankind is because many are far from God today and many dont even believe He exists and all mankind have brought these foretold chastisements upon themselves simply because of our sins. If mankind had responded to the warnings from Our Mother at La Salette, Fatima, Garabandal, and today from Medjugorje we would not have anything to worry about we would all be in God's hands but mankind has not listened and the whole world is being overtaken by evil and God must act for the sake of the good. We must all come closer to God and Pray that whatever is comming maybe mitigated by Universal Prayer.

WHY it is vital that the Laity ACT NOW in this cause for Canonisation of Teresa Helena Higginson.

Philip Illsley.

This School Teacher Mystic of the Catholic Church her cause for Canonisation was taken to Rome in 1937. In Feb 1949 a letter confirmed there was no obstacle to this cause; “ It is still on the books awaiting its time “ But we are still waiting.

Pope John Paul 2nd said in his letter for the New Millennium ( Novo Millennio Ineute) In Teresa we have a marvellous example of Holiness. As a School Teacher she is a powerful patron for the teaching profession in these times. It seems clear that after so many years Teresa’s time has come her mission is to lead us back to God and a noble future founded on

A deeper appreciation of The Wisdom of Christ.

MY FRIENDS it is Now up to us; The Laity to Act

there is a great gentleman in Liverpool called Bob Doyle, who is in regular contact with the Vatican promoting Teresa’s cause. It is UP to US all who may read this to get involved in spreading this Great Devotion to; To the Sacred Head of Our Lord Jesus Seat of Eternal Wisdom. And say the prayers Daily.

Bob Doyle needs to know how many people are getting involved in promoting this devotion – So when you send this out to your friends, LET me know how many. So I Can let Bob Know and more importantly Bob can let the Vatican know how Many are getting involved. MIRACLES are needed so any sick people should as for the intercession of Teresa Higginson.

Our Mother Mary tells Us; I come into the world when I see My Children immersed in sin that will lead to the loss of their souls.

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 10:23:21 GMT

Our Mother has given mankind for preventing the Evil in the world today but they have failed to be put into action or believed by many in the Church today !

Have Our Mothers warnings and messages for all Mankind from La Salette in Sept 1846 to Fatima in 1917 to Garabandal in 1961 up to the present day in Medjugorje. Have these apparitions and warnings recieved the recognition they DESERVE - THE ANSWER - IS NO - THEY HAVE NOT! Our Mother wants us all to be reconciled with Her Son Jesus and invites us all to become apostles of Love and goodness in this world without PEACE.  I would URGE all who may read this especially our church leaders and our pastors to seriously resolve to do this TODAY.

The greatest events in the Bible connected to God are periods of 40 days or 40 years.

If the apparitions at Medjugorje continue until 24th June 2021 IT will be 40 years that Our blessed Mother has descended from Her Heavenly throne to this place called MEDJUGORJE !

The Angels - St. Faustina - Diaries

When we read the Diary we encounter the angels

When we read the Diary of St Faustina we encounter the angels

St Faustina mentioned the angels in more than 70 places in her writings. The reason why the fallen angels whose names we do not know are present and mentioned in the Diary is because they were disturbing, interrupting, discouraging and it was their intention that St Faustina would give up writing the Diary. St Michael said “You are hated by evil and the devil”. Sometimes Satan himself would come to her.

A knight

Jesus wanted St Faustina to become a knight and fight for the salvation of souls. If you become more advanced in the Divine Mercy spirit, it makes you more courageous and you know then this is a spiritual fight and it is not easy. Initially, it is pleasing for our hearts to be in the fight for souls but afterwards we realise that this is a spiritual battle. One of the most beautiful sentences in the diary, she said “Every day I begin a day with a battle and I finish it with a battle.”

St Faustina was a mystic and had supernatural gifts like St Padre Pio, those of bilocation, prophecy and reading human souls, but even so she had to contend with spiritual conflict. Daily life was a battle for her, for us this is our way forward to grow in the Divine Mercy devotion.

To be fighters for God we have to call and ask for assistance, we can never fight with our own strength alone. It is impossible and we will be defeated.

St Paul wrote “when I am weak I am strong”. When we are weak we receive the strength from God and the Holy Spirit. The poverty of the heart and then the Holy Spirit will come.

The name Michael

The name Michael

St Faustina said “I look with one eye into the abyss of my own misery and the other eye at the ocean of God’s mercy.” We have two eyes, one eye is to discover our own misery and the other eye is to see God. He is full of love and mercy and He loves us as we are and He comes to help us. That is why we have St Michael the Archangel. The name of St Faustina’s confessor was Michael, the name of the Church in Vilnius where the Divine Mercy image was displayed is called St Michael and the name the Mother Superior who accepted St Faustina into the convent of The Sister’s of Our Lady of Mercy was called Michaela, which comes from the name Michael. St Michael the Archangel appeared to St Faustina only once on his feast day 29th September. On this feast day St Michael is closer to us and we will receive graces.

St Michael the Archangel was sent to us by God for him to be closer to us and offer us graces. St Michael said to St Faustina “Do not fear, the Lord has ordered me to take special care of you,” and then disappeared.

St Faustina had the special protection of St Michael because of her mission, and this protection was also given to her confessor Bl Fr Michael Sopocko who received the Divine Mercy in his soul first. He was a bright intelligent man, a professor of theology and the right man to find out if it was true what was going on in St Faustina’s heart.

Bl Fr Michael had a special grace from God to be the confessor of St Faustina. Today you can walk in the footsteps of St Faustina. In Vilnius she walked along the same streets many times, attending the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy in Ostra Brama, going every first Saturday to the appointment with the painter. Her confessor and Mother Superior sent her for consultations with a psychologist so the doctors could observe her behaviour to determine if she was mentally of sound mind. Bl Fr Michael Sopocko was a great help for St Faustina she wrote “There are lots of things done in this case, that when I think of it, I am amazed Father that you managed to do so. Many things, although it seemed impossible due to accumulated difficulties, I hope that you Father will lead the rest of things and no one else.”

Supporting priests

Supporting priests

She prayed for Bl.Fr Michael Sopocko often doing mortifications for his intentions. For example, she wrote in one of her letters “I put all my soul to help you Father with this great work to establish the Feast of Divine Mercy, with my prayers and burnt sacrifice I will ask for the Lord’s blessing for you my dear Father in this whole matter.” St Faustina was supporting Bl. Sopocko by her prayers.

It is a great teaching that we should support our priests by prayers. Thanks to the prayers of St Faustina, Bl. Fr Michael Sopocko was very able to carry on with this mission and then hand it over to St John Paul II.

In one of her letters she wrote “I wonder what is new, how about your health my beloved Father, it is His will I ask God for your good health.” St Faustina had a very deep care for her confessor, she was aware that so many things depended upon Bl. Fr Michael.

Encountering angels

Encountering angels

St Faustina received a great help from St Michael, her Confessor and also her guardian angel. I was actually surprised to find there are more than 70 places in the Diary where the angels are mentioned. Consequently it means a lot, because when we read the Diary we encounter the angels. They introduce themselves to us.

In the Diary 1200, she wrote “I thank God for his goodness that He gives angels for our companions. How little people reflect on the fact that they have always beside them a guest and at the same time a witness to everything. I thank God for the angels.” St Padre Pio had a great devotion to the angels; he was a great teacher in advising us on how to take the opportunity of using the angels. He said to one of his spiritual daughters “Remember you are supposed to call and invoke your guardian angel a few times each day, so it becomes routine.” Sometimes we forget about calling on our guardian angel.

St Faustina prayed to her guardian angel and the prayer to St Michael each day - the exorcism prayer by Pope Leo XIII. She often experienced the protection of her guardian angel. Once, when she was on a train, she saw an angel present above each of the churches that she passed. Another time when she was acting as a doorkeeper she was worried about the convent and the sisters because of an uprising in the town and asked the Lord to help, instantly she saw an angel. In a vision Jesus said “Immediately I sent my angel to take care of the sisters.” Jesus sends the angels to help us like he did towards St Faustina.

An angel brought Holy Communion to St Faustina for 13 consecutive days when she was ill. It was an amazing mystical experience. We have to go to Church to receive Holy Communion at the Mass by a priest or a Eucharistic minister.

Suffering is sweet

Suffering is sweet

St Faustina wrote “If the angels were capable of envy they would envy of us two things, Holy Communion and suffering.” The angels can only adore Jesus. We can receive Jesus, He is inside us; in our souls by giving us His body and blood. We do not understand the mystery of suffering. When I suffer I usually take a painkiller. Initially when St Faustina was ill she took tablets from the doctor but when St Faustina was dying she did not take painkillers as she wanted to offer her suffering for the salvation of souls because she knew it was powerful.

To understand suffering is a tremendous grace, pleasure and privilege given only to some people. Saints treat suffering as something sweet. This is a great mystery. Suffering is mentioned in the Diary of St Faustina many times, she had this grace and looked forward to the suffering and also for the conversion of sinners. We believe this because it was said by Jesus. Saints treat suffering as something sweet.

Why it is Vital today we all Listen Believe and LIVE Our Ladys messages at La Salette Fatima Garabandal and Medjugorje before it is to Late.

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 15:39:07 GMT

Countless people throughout the world today have found God and come back to Her Son Jesus as a result of Her apparitions at La Salette Fatima Garabandal and Medjugorje. She has given all mankind the remedies for preventing the horrendous Evil that exists in the world Today but they have failed to be administered properly by Many in The Church. Society throughout the whole world has been plaged since the early sixties with the Scourge of Legal abortion and the ending of human life sanctioned by goverments and these Evil fruits are all to obvious today indifference to age Decency and Morality. We Find in these apparitions of our Blessed Mother; an answer to these anxious entrities that God has heard and continues to hear the cries of His people who beseech Him that Good will triumph over evil.
Have these apparitions and messages recieved the recognition they deserve THE ANSWER IS NO ! because of the state of apostasy in the world and in the Church Today the Supernatural is played down and even scorned it is the lack of the Love of the Faith and the Lack of the Love of the Truth we are all living in today.

* PAST - * PRESENT - * FUTURE

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:17:48 GMT

* Past - The Fatima apparitions foretold the second world war as a punishment and ended with two Atom bombs destroying two major cities. Russia continued to spread her errors and mankind awaited the 3rd secret of Fatima to be revealed in 1960 may were dissapointed when Pope John 23rd chose NOT to reveal the 3rd secret. * PRESENT - * FUTURE to be revealed Now

The Last apparition at Fatima to Lucy was on the 18th June 1921 and on this very Date 18th June 1961 40 years later the apparitions at GARABANDAL began and Our Lady called these messages THE LAST WARNINGS and foretells catastrophe if the wold still refuses to Listen. Her final message again on this date June 18th 1965 began with these word many CARDINALS BISHOPS and PRIESTS are leading their flocks to Perdition HELL ! and That confusion would reign in the CHURCH and that in the end few would believe ! It seems to me this statement is the TIMES IN WHICH WE NOW LIVE. * PRESENT - AT GARABANDAL Our Mother prophesied THREE GREAT EVENTS - The Warning - The Miracle- The Chastisement . The Chastisement would only occur if the world still refused to repent after the WARNING and The MIRACLE. THE WARNING shows us all our sins before God and will make us all aware of God it is a direct intervention from God and is a taste of Eternity and a sign of the future. * FUTURE - THE MIRICLE will take place above the Pines at GARABANDAL within a year of the WARNING. The MIRACLE will be Eucharistic and will convert the whole world, it will be a revelation of God's MERCY and millions will see it on the day and all at the pines the sick will be cured and all UN - BELIEVERS will Believe. THESE LAST WARNINGS were given over 58 years ago and are NEAR .

God The Father of all Mankind His time is Now He is coming Now.

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 18:34:27 GMT

Our Father in Heaven is our true Father and the time has now come for all mankind to come to know Him to better understand Him and to seek Him and Love Him.

Why daily prayer is vital

Wed, 10 Jul 2019 14:25:41 GMT

Why Daily Prayer is Vital today because this is the antidote to Satan and all his evil in this world today

Daily prayer is our living relationship with God and when this prayer is from the heart it is speaking to God like a friend and Listening to Him speaking to us. In daily prayer we are opening our heart to Him who is infinate love and casting upon Him all our cares and fears and letting Him love us lead us and guide us this is the only antidote to Satan and all his evil today. The big problem facing the whole world today is that many have abandoned daily prayer and this is why there is so much evil in our world today. The greatest people on this earth today are those who pray and have a daily prayerful life. These people are winning souls, they are saving souls, they are healing souls, and they are renewing their parishes as the Holy Spirit inspires and guides them and it is only through this daily prayer that we are able to understand our role in God's plan to save all Mankind.

Just Returned from a wonderful Pilgrimage to Garabandal where I had the Great Pleasure of meeting Mr Thomas Fahy at the house of Sanctification there.

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Thu, 23 May 2019 16:09:34 GMT

Our Lady the Queen of Prophets who appeared in Garabandal in 1961-1965 image below Mr Thomas Fahy at the house of Sanctification in Garabandal.

Our Blessed Lady The Queen of Prophets appeared in a tiny village called San Sebastian De Garabandal in Northern Spain in the early 1960's. I want to make you all aware of the approaching and gravely serious events made known at Garabandal that have no precedent in human history and their eternal consequences for all people on earth today and especially for the many people who are far from God today who are completely OBLIVIOUS to what is going to happen. THE TIME IS NOW very close at hand for the unfolding of these CATASTROPHIC EVENTS foretold by Our Lady 58 years ago.

And each passing day brings them closer to their Time - Wake up Mankind

Our Mother of Divine Love and Merciful Jesus have been appearing throughout this world these last 150 years giving warnings for all mankind to return to The Father Now before it is to late. They tell us the hand of God is weighing heavily upon the whole world because mankind does not want to bring an end to its sins. THEY SAY DEATH stands beside us all THEY SAY do NOT Mock these words and warnings you hear because they are warnings from Merciful Jesus and the Mother of Divine Love FULL OF LOVE ! BUT MANKIND my friends today is NOT LISTENING ! Just as in the days of Noah BUT it is NOT WATER that will purify the world now BUT FIRE ! And each passing day brings them closer to their TIME ! WAKE UP MANKIND WAKE UP AND STOP SINNING

The denying of God and the withdrawl from God we are seeing in the world today

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 16:37:11 GMT

Man has never been more sinful and sick than he is today all because many are far from God today

Man today is pulling darkness down upon himself and he is more degraded today than ever before. The family is being diminished today along with the Holiness of marriage. And we see the pleeding of many today for Abortion Assisted Suicide Euthanasia and same sex marriage with these we are undermining our future and rushing headlong into destruction. Man today is in great misery and torment all because many are far from God today and many dont even believe God exists. We all want a new and better world but this is NOT possible without God in IT ! Wake up mankind to what is happening in our world today - Before it is too Late !

God is Love and the Era of Love

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 16:38:45 GMT

Our World today my friends needs Love

This world today of ours is like one big immense hospital which is so sick in mind in body in heart and in soul and Love is the answer but there is no Love without God in our lives because God is infinate Love and the Era of Love is nearer than many of you may think. This past century God has been lifting lifting the veil more and more sending His messengers of Love His prophets to help us all comprehend our role for all of us in The Era of Love. One such Prophet is Luisa Piccarreta Jesus told her how few people there are on Earth who base their life on Love. Jesus told her that everything depends on Love and the necessity of Love teach the true life of Love on Earth in which is found all the beauty off creatures and this is the most beautiful thing that they can give Me be faithful to Me for the time is short Justice wants to vent its fury and creatures provoke My Justice.

This Vision of Pope Pius 9th

philip.illsley@gmail.com (Philip Illsley) — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 19:15:51 GMT

There will come a great wonder which will fill the world with astonishment

This great Pope reigned from June 1846 to his death in 1878 and he was the longest reigning Pope in the history of the Church serving over 31 years.In his vision he said there will come a great wonder which will astonish the whole world and that this will preceeded bt the Triumph of Revolution the Church will suffer much and her servants and her chieftain will be mocked scourged and martyred. Thus great wonder I believe is the Great Universal Warning foretold by Our Blessed Mother at Garabandal and Medjugorje and this is known as the Illumination of our consciences where everyone over the age of seven will see our sinful self before the judgement Throne of God. This is to be preceded by The Triumph of Revolution which is the Tribulation of Communism led by Russia again foretold by our blessed Mother at Garabandal. It is the Great Universal warning that Stops the Tribulation of Communism led by Russia and corrects the consscience of the whole world. WAKE UP ! and see what is happening in the world today with Russia because I truly believe that this is nearer than many of you may think

Our Rosary is probably lying in a draw in your home or maybe hanging from the rear view mirror in your car; But my friends we have to use them! Mary tells us those who perserve in praying the rosary will rceive all the graces they ask of Me. I promise them My Special protection and the rosary is a powerful sheild against Hell. I will deliver promptly from Purgatory the fervent souls of the Holy rosary and they will enjoy a special glory in Heaven.

The first sermon of Jesus at the age of 3

Thu, 27 Dec 2018 00:00:00 GMT

The first Sermon by Jesus at the age of 3 in his exile in Egypt.
Jesus told Luisa: 'My exile in Egypt was not without conquests'.

When I was about 3 years old from our little hovel, I could hear the children playing and shouting in the street; and as little as I was I went out in their midst. As soon as they saw me they ran around me competing with themselves for who could get close to Me. Because of my beauty the enchantment of my gaze and the sweetness of my voice were such that they felt enraptured for love of me. So they would throng around me loving me so much that they could not detach themselves from me. I too loved these children so I gave my first sermon to these little ones, adapting myself to their tiny capacity- since when love is true, it not only tries to make itself known but also to give all that may render one happy in time and Eternity. More so since possessing innocence they could understand me. And would you like to know what my sermon was about?

I said to them - My children listen to me. I love you very much and I want to make known about your origin. Look up at Heaven, up there you have a celestial Father who loves you very much and who was not satisfied to be your Father only from Heaven – to guide you, to create for you a Sun, a Sea, a flowery Earth to make you happy; But loving you with exuberant love He wanted to descend inside your hearts, to form His Royal Residence in the depth of your souls making himself sweet prisoner of each one of you. But to do what? To give life to your heartbeat, breath, and motion. So as you walk, He walks in your steps; He moves in your little hands, he speaks in your voice… and because he loves you very much, as you walk, or move – now he kisses you, now he squeezes you, now he hugs you and carries you triumphantly as his own dear children. How many hidden kisses and hugs our Celestial Father does not give you!

But since being inattentive you didn’t let your kiss meet his kiss and your hugs meet his paternal embrace, He remained with pain that his children neither hugged him nor kissed him. My dear children do you know what this Celestial Father wants from you? He wants to be recognised within you as having his own place in the centre of your souls; and since he gives you everything – there is nothing he does not give to you, - He wants your love in everything you do. Love him! Let love be always in your little hearts, your lips, your works, in everything - and this is the delicious food which you will give to his Paternity.

He loves you very much and wants to be loved. Nobody can ever love you as he loves you. It is true that you have a Father on earth but how different from the love of the Celestial Father! Your father on Earth does not always follow you, watch over your steps, or sleep together with you; neither does he palpitate within your heart and if you fall: if you sleep, he watches over you; and even if you play and do something impertinent, he is always with you and knows everything you do. Therefore love him very, very much! and getting more excited I told them, "Give Me your word that you will always, always Love Him!" Say together with me; "We love you Our Father who art in the Heavens, We Love You Our Father Who dwells in Our Hearts!"

Jesus told Luisa; My Daughter, at my words some of the children remained moved, some enraptured, some squeezed themselves to me so much that they wouldn’t let me go. I made them feel the palpating Life of My Celestial Father inside their little hearts and they rejoiced and made feast because they no longer have a Father who was far away from them, but inside their own hearts. And to make them firm and give them the strength to depart from Me.

I blessed those children renewing upon them Our creative power – Invoking the power of the Father , the Wisdom of myself the Son and the virtue of the Holy Spirit – and I told them go – You will return, so they left – but they would come back the following days almost in a crowd – a throng – of children, they set themselves to spy when I was about to go out and to see what I was doing in our hovel. And when I went out they would clap their hands, making feast and shouting so much that my Mother, would come out the door to see what was happening.

Oh how enraptured she would remain, in seeing Her Son speaking to those children with so much Grace, She felt her heart bursting with love and could see the first fruits of my Life down here, since none of these children who listened to me – not a single one of them was lost. Knowing they had a Father inside their hearts was like a deposit, to be able to own the Celestial Fatherland – to Love that Father who was in Heaven as well.

Words of Wisdom Pearls of Gold from the Book of Heaven

“THE PROMISE OF THE RESTORATION of the DIVINE WILL to all HUMANITY AND THE RETURN of MAN to HIS ORIGINAL STATE”

The Lords prayer to the Father that His Kingdom come is part of the deposit of our faith. When Jesus taught the Our Father to His Apostles and asked them to teach them to others, He wanted everyone to pray for the most important thing to Him That His Fathers name be given the highest respect and honour and that the Fathers Kingdom come to be restored to the souls of all men on earth as it was in Adam and Eve’s time. This is what has occurred now in these times with unprecedented clarity in the 36 volumes of “BOOK of HEAVEN “ and in the writings of Lusia Picarreta. Where Our Lord and The Holy Spirit explain the reasoning for withholding this great Gift and clarity until these times.

“ FROM THE TIME OF THE FALL of ADAM until THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION of MARY NO ONE COULD do the WILL OF GOD as it is in HEAVEN”

Because no one possessed the Gift of The Divine Will and after Marys Assumption into Heaven again no one has been able to do the Will of God as in Heaven – UNTIL The Father granted His Sons Prayer in Lusia Picarreta by giving her the Gift of the Divine Will.

All the Saints before Luisa did the Will of God as it is done on Earth

BUT NOT as it is DONE in Heaven. Our Father in Heaven has NOW opened the doors to all humanity to return to the order the place and the purpose for which we were all created just as He did in the Beginning with Adam and Eve. HE CHOSE to open these doors through one individual on Earth LUISA PICARRETA; and through her to all who know about it and desire it and who are disposed and want to participate in this Divine Way of Life.

CLERICAL APATHY TOWARDS THE DIVINE MERCY

Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:03:17 GMT

Why do so many priests still not believe in the Devotion
to the Divine Mercy or Divine Mercy Sunday?

For those who still turn a deaf ear to these revelations for our time, I have heard the excuse put forward that the life of the Church has always been about devotion to the Mercy of God, so why do we need a new devotion about the same thing?

It is clear that mankind has failed to listen to God and many have turned their back on Him. This whole world is on the precipice of Divine intervention and chastisement. This is why Jesus is urgently appealing to us and has given an extraordinary message revealed through St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, with promises to attract modern people back to their Faith and the Father.

Many priests still maintain that the Feast of Divine Mercy should not take place within the Octave of Easter. Their opinion being that Divine Mercy devotions are private revelations which conflict with the Churches Liturgy during Easter. Those who still hold this opinion do not understand the true nature of the Divine Mercy Message or the actual status of the Feast of Divine Mercy since the canonisation of Saint Faustina.

Firstly, the Feast of Mercy is not a private devotion but a public Feast Day formally established by Pope John Paul II with the approval of three Vatican Congregations on the 5th May 2000. This decree clearly states that Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated in St. Peters Square as an official Feast Day for the first time on Sunday 22nd April 2001.

Secondly, on the question of conflict with the Churches Liturgy during Easter, the answer is that Jesus chose this day because it is already a day of celebration of His Divine Mercy and so, does not conflict with the Liturgy of the Day. The Scripture lessons on this Sunday centre on God’s Divine Mercy. The Gospel account is of Jesus appearing in the upper room and bestowing authority to forgive sins. The Responsorial Psalm is taken from Psalm 118 which sings of the Mercy of God enduring forever.

In the Divine Mercy image itself we have a picture of the Risen Christ pointing to his heart that has been pierced out of which flows the precious Blood representing the Eucharist and the water representing the washing away of sin through confession, with the Lord also significantly raising His right hand in blessing. It is a celebration of the Sacraments that Jesus has just instituted through his Passion, Death and Resurrection.

Thirdly, Divine Mercy Sunday is not a new Feast Day but is the renewal of an ancient one practised in the early Church that celebrates Christ rising from the dead and thereby bringing everlasting life. In the early church the newly baptized, newly born in Christ, wore white robes until the Sunday in White (Dominica in Albis) the octave day of Easter, symbolizing their innocence. The Feast of Mercy once again celebrates the white innocence we receive by the Covenant of Mercy.

St. Augustine calls these days "days of mercy and pardon" (#156, Dominica in Albis) and the Sunday "the compendium of the days of mercy." And then, referring to the setting aside of the white robes, he warns, "Let not our interior purity be lessened as we set aside its exterior symbols." (Source: click here Theology of the Feast )

In the earliest liturgical document in existence, 'The Apostolic Constitutions', St. Thomas the Apostle writes ' After eight days (following the feast of Easter) let there be another feast observed with honour, the eighth day itself on which he gave me, Thomas, who was hard of belief, full assurance, by showing me the print of the nails, and the wound made in His side by the spear'. (For source click here Apostolic Constitutions Book V Chapter XIX )

On Divine Mercy Sunday Catholics can receive the Greatest Indulgence that Christ has given to the Church to offer to His people
If we go to Confession and Communion on this day we not only receive the forgiveness of all our sins but also the forgiveness of all the punishment those sins may have incurred due to Divine Justice. This Great Indulgence is only available once a year, on Divine Mercy Sunday.

It is vital we all take advantage of this time of Mercy to wipe our immortal souls spotlessly clean so we can obtain the Blessed Homeland of Heaven. On this Great Feast Day we receive The Spirit of Divine Mercy which heals the wounds of the human heart and brings down the barriers that separate us from God. The Spirit dispels the distrust that separates us from one another and reunites us with the Father's love. This my friends is Divine Mercy in our souls. We must never miss this feast.

Jesus said to St. Faustina "He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice". (Diary entry no. 1146)

It is not easy to see the world through another person's eyes, and we must strive to do that every day.

The last warnings for all Mankind
from Mary the Mother of God

Mary the Mother of God and the Mother of us all has been on pilgrimage with the Universal Church these last 200 years or so in Her numerous apparitions on Earth, giving important messages and warnings to all Mankind to return to Her son Jesus before it's too late. Above image ©Ana Rey www.anarey.es

We find in apparitions at La Salette, Fatima, Garabandal, Akita, Rhwanda, Medjugiorje and other places, that God has heard the cries of His people, who beseech Him for good to triumph over evil. Have these messages and warnings received the recognition they deserve, the answer is NO. Because of the state of Apostasy in the world today, which Mary foretold at Fatima, and the lack of 'love of the truth', in todays world the supernatural is played down and even scorned.

Mary has given all Mankind the remedies for preventing the evils which exist in the world today but these have failed to be administered properly by many in the Church. This is because there exists in the Church today an anti-Mary, anti private revelation bureaucracy which abhor anything connected with devotion to Mary. They fail to see the great graces and fruits coming from Her apparitions and that they answer a great spiritual need.

Why so much opposition to such happy news as a visit from our Mother?
When will we all wake up to Our Mothers calls to return to God and the Church? Over the years I have been shocked and upset by the lack of interest and distrust shown by many Catholic priests and laity regarding Her many apparitions and the wonderful fruits coming from them. I say to these people is it an illusion to think that in these grave times that Jesus should not send His Holy Mother to prepare us and to lead us all back to Her Son. Jesus who appreciates strong and sure faith, will, I am sure, reproach these people for their negative faith, just like He reproached Thomas the apostle when He said: "you believe Thomas because you have seen, Blessed are those who believe, but have not seen." (John 20:29)

Mary was the first child of God to offer Her Yes to Our Father. Mary brought Jesus, Our Saviour into the world, and by guiding all her children to offer their Yes to the Father, She truly crushes the head of the serpent, who seduced all mankind into disobedience and exile from God (Gen 3:15). Because of this woman my friends, we the children of God Our Father will once again, as it was in the beginning of time dwell with Him in Paradise. She is the Mother of all Hearts and the Mother of all Creation co-operating with Gods plan for our redemption and uniting all of us with Our Father, acting as an intercessory helper for all the Children of God.

With God truly living in us, Mary's Immaculate Heart will have triumphed. We the exiled prodigal children will finally be restored to Our Fathers Home and His Kingdom will have truly come on earth as it is in Heaven, the fulfilment of the Lord's Prayer that Christians have been praying for over 2000 years "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven'. (Matthew 6:10)

Our Mother tells us in all Her apparitions that the Holy Rosary is our greatest weapon to defeat Satan and all his evil. This is the means to usher in 'The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary'. Why do many ignore Her words? Is it because of spiritual laziness? Mary asks all of us to wake up from the slumber of our souls and Pray, Pray, Pray, My Children. A simple Rosary She says can work miracles in the world and in our lives.

This miraculous remedy (The Rosary) is probably lying in a draw in your home, or even hanging from your rear view mirror in your car! My friends we have to use them! She tells us ' those who persevere in praying the rosary will receive all the graces they Ask of Me. I promise them My Special Protection and the rosary will be a powerful shield against hell. I want all who say the rosary to find light, and the fullness of Grace in life and in death. They will all take part in the Merits of The Blessed, I will promptly deliver from Purgatory the fervent souls of the Holy rosary and the true Sons and Daughters of the Rosary will enjoy a special Glory in Heaven'.

What more incentives do we need to say the Rosary daily! The family who prays every day builds a great barrier against evil and the destroyer. That great barrier is Jesus and Mary. They stand guard over us and our homes. When Satan tries to infiltrate our homes he sees that Jesus and Mary are there and he is terrified and he flees! But a family who do not pray have no barrier, no protection. If we don’t have Jesus and Mary at the centre of our lives and families, then the destroyer comes. Neither your job, house or money will scare him away. ONLY Jesus and Mary will drive him out. It is better to have Jesus and Mary in poverty, than to have wealth without Jesus and Mary.

When Mary chose the village of Medjugorje, She said in one of the first apparitions, ' Here I have found true believers', the only wealth these families had was Jesus. She said 'I love each one of you as I love my son Jesus, you are a part of me! I am with you, and unceasingly pray for you that your life may be a reflection of Heaven on Earth'. Our Mother is perfect in Her Holiness and she wants to give all Her Children, Gods greatest gift to Her - Holiness.

DEVOTION TO OUR HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS

Sat, 20 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Angels are not cute or fluffy. They resemble God, being pure spirit in nature,
and have been ministering to Mankind since the Fall.

Today my friends, it is vital that we all pray daily to our Holy Guardian Angels to intercede for us, to help us and guide us all through these difficult times as evil is becoming the uncontested dominator on earth.

All our Guardian Angels are assigned by God to every human being at the moment of our conception. Our Guardian Angels are closest to the material world and human beings. They deliver our prayers to God and return with God’s answers. They are the most caring and social beings who assist those who ask for help. We must never forget they are always in action looking after us and in fulfilling God’s plan for the whole world and for all mankind. We must never forget either that a single guardian angel even the smallest of all is more powerful than all the demons of hell put together because our guardian angel has God with him and the demons do not.

Simple Small Prayers
Say each day as many times as possible to your Guardian Angel;

Angel of God my Guardian dear to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen, Fiat.

Central colour image: ©Thomas Blackshear - 'Watchers in the Night' 2001.

Prayer to our Guardian Angel
My good Guardian Angel who comes from Heaven; God has sent you to look after me. Shelter me under your wings, lighten my path and direct my steps and never leave me. Stay always near me and defend me from all harm and all evil. Above all, help me in the last struggle of my life and deliver my soul so that with you I may praise, love and contemplate the goodness of God for ever and ever. Amen Fiat.

Be like an Angel my friends!
Look for ways to serve God
Be there when God needs you
Speak to others about His Mercy
Give directions
Help those in need
Worship God always

We must never forget
The universe created by God is built with many floors. God in His Infinite Mercy calls us to fill those floors all the way to the top and to occupy those places which He cast out the evil spirits. Every child’s birth is a new act of creation, of someone who will praise God, every conception and birth of a child is an incredible event in creation and all the universe bows over the mother, the woman and her new born child.

There is another dimension to all of this; Angels are not born, the number of evil spirits does not increase, they have strictly determined numbers. The growing world of God’s children is composed exclusively of people. This is why the devil stands irritated and annoyed over a woman who gives birth, so it should come as no surprise to any of us that he will go to great lengths to destroy every conceived human being and all the power of evil attacks the weakest human an unborn baby! He wants to destroy every human being through abortion and we must do all we can to defend the woman and the child because only in the woman will life be created.

Stop the Great Sin 'the Abomination of Abortion'
God is on our side and man will increase in number until we fill all the top floors in God's House, to occupy the empty floors left by the ones who FELL FROM HEAVEN is the great battle being fought on earth today. Weak beings like us will take our place there and we will attain an even higher dignity, that of children of God; this dignity does not apply to angels, they are only God’s servants.

The Devil is at work in the world today and is it any wonder that Our Blessed Mother tells us that our sins today are far greater than in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. This generation is the most sinful in the history of the world. Today, we are living in a world, far from God and many of us are not turning to our celestial friends, our Guardian Angels, that God has posted at our side to help and guide us all back to God. Every Guardian Angel knows God’s special plan for everyone of us. Many parents today complain about not being listened to by their children because they prefer to listen to friends of their own age. This is why it is vital that all young people pray to their Guardian Angels. Parents please read and reflect on this. In confident prayer to our angels we will obtain results and miracles. But we must ask in faith through prayer. Encourage your children to say daily prayers to their Guardian Angels and you will see changes in their attitude and lives.

THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER

Sat, 30 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

'The Lords Prayer' James Tissot (1836-1902)

'It is simply impossible to lead, without the aid of prayer, a virtuous life'.
Saint John Chrysostom

Why every person ought to pray
If every person prayed we would all be doing the Will of God, and this would bring about the harmony of His Will on earth. When we live within the will of God we are all united in its order and harmony but when we step outside the will of God, we are all of us stumbling in the chaos disorder and darkness of our human will which is prone to evil. We all know that Jesus is pure love. As pure love He can transform everything, so we say to you: Jesus, we are all yours, Lord do with us our Will maybe painful or seem unfair.

We know that your ways are not mans ways and only you can see the grand scheme of things. Only you know the whys of our Cross’es because you are God and Love us all with an infinite love. You will give us all your blessing in every situation if we ‘Trust in You’ and do your Holy Will always. Doing the will of God can never hurt us and can never harm another. Doing your will and trusting in you will enable us all to become fountains of living water in the midst of a thirsting world. We can only hear the will of God by spending time with him in daily prayer.

Prayer for a clean heart and Heavenly wisdom:
By Philip Illsley Oct 1999
O God strengthen me by the grace of your Holy Spirit, make me firm within my efforts to be Holy. Empty me of all unnecessary worry and anxiety, and do not let me be carried away by desire of anything whatsoever, whether worth having or otherwise. Make me realise that all things are passing away and that I too must follow them. Give me your Heavenly Wisdom to seek you, find you and understand you above all things. Fill me with the gift of your Holy Spirit to do your work on earth and bring many souls with me to Heaven. Amen, Fiat. (This prayer has always kept me on the straight and narrow path)

Why every soul ought to pray:
From the diary of Sr. Faustina 'Divine Mercy in My Soul' (entry 146)
Prayer - 'A soul arms itself by prayer for all kinds of combat. In whatever state the soul may be, it ought to pray. A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so it may rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer'.

Without prayer there is no love, forgiveness, compassion, or mercy. Prayer is the way out of every situation, which has no way out. Our Mother keeps urging us at Medjugorje to pray for our shepherds, our priests 'My Children do not ever forget to pray for your shepherds' 10/2/2017. The visionary Mirjana said on May 5th 2008 ‘From this moment that we are living now until Her Triumph there is a bridge and that bridge are the priests’ . Mirjana also said that Our Lady says we should pray for priests so that the bridge will be firm.

Prayer for Priests:
Lord Jesus, your priests are sacred and are priests forever. In trust Jesus, and in love, I offer my daily life to you as my daily sacrifice of prayer for all your priests but especially for all priests in the world who are not living up to the ministry they have received. Bless them Lord and all your priests. Lord Jesus use me to help them and love them in any good way. I can be near them now and always Blessed Trinity. Amen, Fiat. Mother Mary Queen of Priests pray for them.

Our priests are sacred and are priests forever. Please say this prayer daily.

DO WE WANT SAINT NICHOLAS OR SANTA CLAUS?

Sat, 23 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Should we perpetuate a myth
or reclaim Christmas

Caution: this post could contain information that if read by children could be upsetting. This is not our aim.

The name 'Santa Claus' is an Americanization of the Dutch word Sinterklaas, which does translate to Saint Nicholas (source catholic.com). The problem is that St. Nicholas has been turned into a gross caricature, and it's the caricature that is more popular and beloved than the truth.

The commercialisation of Christmas has come with the advent (pun intended) of mass media. Coca-Cola in the 1930's took the existing caricature of 'the bIg bearded man in a red suit' and popularized it through advertising, until this image became the standard for St. Nicholas. Now the focus becomes not on the gift God has given us, but on how many material gifts we can receive. It's kind of ironic that one of the tag lines used to sell Coke is:- 'You can't beat the real thing'.

Who was St. Nicholas?
St. Nicholas of Myra was a fourth-century Catholic bishop in Turkey. He participated in the First Council of Nicaea - where he was famously purported to have slugged the heretic Arius for denying Christ's divinity - and has been considered a patron of children for his generosity to them during his lifetime. For example, he is said to have provided dowries for three girls who would have been sold into slavery if they could not make good marriages.

Is it harmless?
It's up to individual parents, but in terms of the faith, as the Church, in communion, as the body of Christ and as individual Christians is it right to perpetuate a myth? I think it does damage a child's unconditional trust in its parents. As a child ages, once it becomes clear we have been lying to them about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, how will they trust anything else we tell them?

Importantly, children brought up in the faith can start to doubt the truth, 'Well if that's not real, what about God?'. We sow doubt into them. We know children can be very blunt and cruel at times, so we do not want them using the truth in a vicious way by telling other kids that things they love and cherish aren't real. We would actually be causing them to sin, by using the truth in a cruel way. No doubt, there is some discernment to be made in families, schools and Churches about how we educate our children about Christmas.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church entry 2485 states:-
By its very nature, lying is to be condemned. It is a profanation of speech, whereas the purpose of speech is to communicate known truth to others. The deliberate intention of leading a neighbour into error by saying things contrary to the truth constitutes a failure in justice and charity. The culpability is greater when the intention of deceiving entails the risk of deadly consequences for those who are led astray.

The last line about greater culpability is important to our modern world. We all tell 'white lies' which we think aren't lies because they don't do any harm. But who's to know what the true impact is on a child's mind and mentality when they find out something they cherished isn't real. I remember when I found out about Father Christmas and it left me really sad. Did I get over it, of course, now I don't blame my parents and did it really affect me in any deep way, maybe not, but we're all different. We have to ask ourselves do we want to live with lies and secrets or by the truth, after all 'the truth will set you free' (John 8:32).

The truth of Christmas
Christmas is a shortened form of Christ's Mass, Nativity, meaning 'birth' (from the Latin nativitas) of Christ, celebrated through the Mass. Notice that when you say the word Christmas, it becomes Chris-mas. I find it interesting that the letter which becomes silent is the 't', which resembles a cross. If we truly want to put Christ back into the centre of Christmas, maybe we should say Christ-mas rather than Chris-mas or use the longer form of the phrase and refer to it as Christ's Mass. There can be no doubt as to who this refers to and how we are to celebrate His birth. Merry Christ's Mass.

WE CAN'T HAVE CHRIST OR CHRISTMAS WITHOUT MARY

tom@everydaychristianmarketing.co.uk (Tom Evans) — Sat, 23 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Holy Virgin, by God's decree, you were called eternally;
that he could give His Son to our race. Mary, we praise you, hail full of grace.

Nothing is impossible to God
(Matthew 19:26, Luke 1:37, Mark 10:27, Zechariah 8:6, Jeremiah 32:17;27, Job 42:2, Genesis 18:4)
I am contradicting my own statement by saying actually, you could have Christ without Mary because God can do anything. Jesus could have appeared instantly in the Roman province of Judea as a 30 year old man and set straight off on his mission. Yet, God ordained that a human being would help him, so he could enter the womb and become a baby that has to be looked after, taught things and grow up. God ordained that a human being was to take part in the incarnation. The question becomes why?

1. you could contribute it to the nature of a God who is willing to humble Himself in such a way.
2. you could also say that God in the Word by humbling himself this way takes part in every facet of human existence. Not that God doesn't know what the human condition is, but the incarnation of God by this method is truly human, so he is truly our brother and not just the Divinity appearing out of thin air in a human form. Jesus Christ is true God, and true man.
3. the incarnation happens this way as pre-ordained fulfilment of prophecy given at the very beginnings of creation in Genesis, chapter 3:15 'and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel'. (Douay Rheims Bible)
4. just as Christ is the New Adam (Romans 5:12-18) , Mary by her obedience to God unties the knot of disobedience created by Eve, and in so doing becomes the New Eve. (Source Ireneus)

The Ark of the Old Covenant
Made of setim wood (an incorruptible acacia), it was overlaid with purest gold, and a golden crown around it. Gold is a symbol of purity. God even ordains the Ark should not be touched (Numbers 4:4-6, 15-20). God was precise with keeping the Ark pure. Would he not also make sure the Ark of the New Covenant (Luke 22:20) which carried the incarnation be pure and worthy of his indwelling presence as well? (source catholicity.com)

In the Old Testament as a sign of the divine mystery present in the midst of Israel, the pillar of smoke and fire (the Shekinah Glory), hovered over the Ark of the Covenant (Ex 40:35) , in the New Testament the shadow of the Most High envelops & penetrates the tabernacle of the New Covenant, the womb of Mary. 'The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God'. (Luke 1:35). As the Ark of the New Covenant (Hebrew 12:24) she is seen in Heaven (Revelation 12) as the dragon, seeks to make war (enmity) with the rest of her seed. (source catholic.com)

My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour
In Luke 1:46-55, Mary proclaims the Magnificat. Because Mary says ‘my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour’ some have argued Mary couldn’t be without sin, if she was, she wouldn’t need a saviour. Mary, like any other human being did indeed need a saviour. It is God Almighty who ‘saves’ her from the stain of original sin, a grace uniquely granted to her. How can Mary be the ‘Handmaid of the Lord’ (Luke 1:38), worthy to carry the deity, if she was a stained tabernacle?

'God has formed the soul and body of the Virgin Mary
full of the Holy Spirit, so that she is without all sins'
Martin Luther's Works (vol 52, pg 39)

We are told to judge a tree by its fruit (Matthew 7:16-18, Luke 6:43-45). Mary is a tree that restores life to humanity, because the fruit from this tree is blessed. 'In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!' (Luke 1:42). The Saviour himself announces that unless we eat of this fruit we will not have everlasting life (John 6:53-55). This is exactly why you cannot have Christ without Mary.

By Mary's consent the Divinity is conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit, it may sound rude to reduce the incarnation to human genetic processes, because we know it is more than that, however it is true to say that an egg from Mary's ovaries became fertilised. There is a beautiful wonder to be discovered in this. The DNA of the body of Jesus is completely provided by his mother. At the moment of an egg's fertilisation a baby's genetic make-up is complete, including its sex (and who says that life doesn't begin at conception. You could even say that Jesus is also Immaculately conceived, but in a different meaning that what is applied to the Blessed Mother).

The God of the impossible appears
Since a mother can provide only X chromosomes (she is XX), if a Y sperm fertilises the egg, the baby will be a boy (XY), if an X sperm fertilises the egg, the baby will be a girl (XX). In yet another glorious mystery of the incarnation, Mary provides the physical matter needed to form a human being, but she cannot provide what determines the gender of the child. But with God, all things are possible, and by the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary like the Ark in the Old Covenant, an impossible event becomes possible (because there is no sperm used) and yet within 24 hrs the egg begins dividing into many cells that will eventually form a human male child. (Source webMD)

The Ark of the New Covenant now contains exactly what was in the Old Ark. The Word of God (Ten Commandments), the Bread that comes down from Heaven (the Manna from the desert) and the Eternal High Priest (the staff of Aaron - High Priest). The contents of the Ark of the New Covenant however are complete perfection, 3 in 1, and yet one and the same, God himself, Immanuel. Yes, God is truly with us. Blessed be God, Blessed be his Holy Name, Amen.

THE BOOK - THE FATHER SPEAKS TO HIS CHILDREN

Tue, 19 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

The first time in the history of the Catholic Church that a
private revelation from God the Father has been recognised as valid.

I invite all who read this to enter into the mystery of God the Father. We are all privileged to live in a time and age when his Divine person is brought before us. We have experienced for the first time in history a 'Year of God the Father' proclaimed by Pope John Paul II in 1999. Our spiritual journey is intended to move us always in the direction of Our Father. Jesus tells us: 'I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of Him who sent me, and this is the will of the him who sent me. that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day'. (John 6:38 -39)

Our return to the Father.
Ordained by God as a process that begins with our Mother Mary who lovingly guides all her children to her son Jesus, who mercifully lifts us all up on his cross to Our Father. The Holy Spirit purifies us and refines us so God our Father can come and dwell in us as a living temple, and we in turn can dwell in Him. To do this we must, unlike our first parents Adam and Eve, offer our unconditional 'YES' to God our Fathers will, for it was in saying 'NO' that all mankind was exiled from Paradise and the intimate presence of God.

If we say yes to Our Father and purify, consecrate and rededicate ourselves to him individually and collectively, he comes to us all in a way we could never imagine. We learn how to do this by reading and studying a great book given to all mankind by the Father through Mother Eugenia.

Who is Mother Eugenia Raviso 1907 - 1990?
In 1932 an Italian nun called Mother Eugenia Raviso had visions of God the Father. Her most important legacy is 'The Message of the Father', the only private revelation made by God the Father and recognised as authentic by the Church. The Bishop of Grenoble, the Right Reverand Alexandre Caillot, set up a board of experts in 1935 to conduct a diocesan enquiry which lasted ten years. The Bishop stated 'I believe that the hand of God is in all this and after ten years of research, reflection and prayer. I bless the Father for having deigned to choose my diocese as the place for such touching manifestations of His love. Its object is to make God the Father known, honoured and loved by all his children and by the institution of a special feast day which has been requested by the Church'.

What the Father has desired.
'I desire My image in every home; I wish to place every family under My special protection. I desire a feast day'. There is no feast day dedicated to the Father and no Church on earth dedicated to Him. The Father desires a Sunday dedicated to Him in a special way under the title of 'God the Father of all Mankind'. The Father chose the 1st Sunday of August, to be dedicated to honouring God’s paternal nature under the title of 'Father of all Mankind'.

Why has the Vatican not instituted this feast day?
I believe the request for this feast day has been before the Vatican for over 70 years. We must ask the question: What is happening after all this time? There is no Church in Christendom dedicated to God the Father, Why? We need to organise a petition to send to the Vatican for the feast day of the Father of All Mankind. We celebrated this Mass in Cardiff, Wales in honour of the Father on the 1st Sunday of August in 2011 and received the approval of our Bishop George Stack. While we are still waiting for the Vatican, you can contact your local Bishop and parish priest to do the same, asking them for permission to celebrate this beautiful consecration feast for God Our Father in your own diocese. God the Father told Mother Eugenia 'I cannot give my Beloved Son another time to prove My love for men! I am coming now, coming among them in order to love them and to make them know this love'.

Please submit an official petition for the God the Father Feast Day Approval here

CATHOLICS SHOULDN'T IGNORE THE GRACE OF DIVINE MERCY

Sat, 16 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

No Catholic should miss the great graces we receive on the Feast of Mercy
8th April 2018 - Divine Mercy Sunday

Our late great pope, now St. John Paul II at the canonisation of Saint Maria Faustina in Rome in April 2000 said, 'that by this act today I pass on the message of Divine Mercy to the new Millennium. I pass it on because I want people to know the better face of God and that of his Divine Mercy'.

In St. Peters square on Divine Mercy Sunday (22nd April 2001) John Paul II declared it as an official feast day for the first time. This approval was given to the Church on the 5th May 2000 in the form of a decree. As an official feast day it is a public feast with the approval of three Vatican congregations. Yet people still turn a deaf ear to this great feast day and the wonderful grace we can receive only on this day that any punishment our past sins may have incurred are completely wiped away. I have heard some say that the Church has always been about devotion to the Mercy of God, so why do we need a new devotion?

In todays world it is very clear that mankind has failed to listen to God and many have turned there back on God. The whole world is on the precipice of Divine intervention and Divine chastisement. This is obviously why Jesus is urgently appealing to us in a new way and has given us an extraordinary message revealed through St. Faustina with extraordinary promises attached to help attract modern man back to their faith and back to the Father.

On this Feast of Mercy we receive the Spirit of Divine Mercy
It is this Spirit of Divine Mercy that will heal the wounds of the human heart. The Spirit of Divine Mercy will pull down the barriers that separate us from God and will dispel the distrust that separates us from each other. The Spirit of Divine Mercy restores the Fathers love for us and our love for the Father. It amazes me that some priests still maintain that the Feast of Divine Mercy should not take place within the Octave of Easter, their opinion being that Divine Mercy devotions are still just private devotions which conflict with the Churches liturgy during the Easter Octave, but this is an opinion that does not understand the actual status of the feast of Divine Mercy and its message. Since the canonization of Saint Faustina this feast day is no longer just a private devotion but a public feast day that has been formally established by the Vatican through John Paul II.

Jesus chose this day the first Sunday after Easter because it is already a day of celebration of his Divine Mercy and therefore does not conflict with the liturgy of the day (read here Feast after Easter?) , and the scripture lessons on this day centre on Gods Divine Mercy, The Gospel for the day is of Jesus appearing in the upper room and bestowing authority to forgive sins. The Responsorial Psalm is 118 , and sings of the Mercy of God enduring forever.

In the writings of Saint Augustine (read theology of the feast) we can see in the early Church the Sunday after Easter was held as a great feast day in celebration of the Merciful Love of God. In fact it could be said that Divine Mercy Sunday is not a new feast that conflicts with Easter but is the renewal of an ancient feast day of the Church that celebrates Gods Mercy as the image of Divine Mercy displays a Risen Christ bringing everlasting life to all Mankind, which is Divine Mercy initself.

When we go to confession and communion on this feast day we not only receive forgiveness for all our sins as usual in confession (Download Confession Guide) , but we receive the grace of Divine Mercy which is the cancelling of all the punishment those sins may have incurred to satisfy the Divine justice. This great indulgence is only available one day a year - Divine Mercy Sunday – Please don't miss it! (See the details of our celebration of this feast day in Cardiff, Wales on our events page ).

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
Our Lord told Sister Faustina 'At the hour of death I defend anyone who says this Chaplet and for anyone who is near to death for who this chaplet is being offered I will defend as my own glory'.

Jesus said to Sr. Faustina: 'Unceasingly recite this chaplet I have taught you, whosoever will recite it will receive Great Mercy at the hour of death. By means of it you can ask and obtain anything, if what you ask for is compatible to My Will. I want the whole world to know my infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy'. (Diary entry 687).

'Whoever says this chaplet I will guard through their life like a mother guards her infant and at the hour of their death I will not be the just judge for them but the merciful saviour'. My friends be active in works of love, forgiveness, mercy and a daily prayerful life. Only through the Christian life can this momentum of evil throughout the world today be brought to a halt. Repeat daily as many times as you can Jesus I Trust in You - Take Care of Everything.

SEND US YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS here and our Divine Mercy prayer groups will pray for your intentions.

TO THE DETRACTORS OF MEDJUGORJE

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

To all doubters and detractors of Medjugorje,
I urge you to wake up to what is happening there.

Medjugorje my friends is a great gift from God and His call to Holiness
Our Mothers message to the whole world on 25th July 1987:- 'I beseech you to take up the way of holiness, God cannot have less than a Holy People; be Holy as I am Holy'. Our Mother asks us every day to study the Scriptures. They are a means to have 'His Holy People'. Medjugorje is a massive aid to make us all 'That Holy People'.

This great gift from God of Mary's presence in Medjugorje is such an impulse to Holiness that it makes us all want to return to Jesus and His Church, to 'Seek Holiness' to decide for God, decide for holiness. Without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). I have been blessed with the opportunity to lead the Welsh Pilgrimage to Medjugorje and have been there 51 times. Each visit has been unique and memorable in my own personal journey of faith. We are sometimes called a pilgrim people because we are all travelling along the road of life to our destination with God Our Father. Our own search for holiness and happiness is really a search for God, and only God can fulfil our dreams. We can only be certain of reaching holiness, happiness, and peace in our lives if we travel along life’s pilgrim road of faith together with God.

Many Graces and Blessings Received
Many who have joined our Pilgrimage to Medjugorje have enjoyed experiences of inner peace, tranquillity and a feeling of belonging, cleansing, conversion and healing. Very few people leave Medjugorje without experiencing spiritual regeneration and dramatic and lasting changes in their lives. I cannot hope to capture in words what I and many others have experienced in Medjugorje. Words failed St. Paul and other evangelists, but the words that give me a sense of Christian authenticity regarding Medjugorje are these, 'By their fruits you shall know them' (Mathew 7:20) and 'Taste and See that the Lord is Good' (Psalm 34:8).

Whatever preconceived ideas people and priests may have about the apparitions at Medjugorje, they are in my view, just those, preconceived! My own encounter with this great oasis of peace, happiness, love and repentance, with its visionaries, villagers, priests and pilgrims has been grace filled and uplifting. I have been changed for the better. Mary presents herself as both the the Servant and Messenger of God. The message she brings does not convey any new teachings but echoes those of the Gospel and the Church. The basic message of Medjugorje is:

PEACE through commitment to God. PRAYER Holy Mass and the Eucharist. CONVERSION repentance and fasting.

This is God’s merciful call echoing all the time in Medjugorje. He loves us and wants us all to be happy with Him for all eternity. I really do hope and trust that all doubters and detractors will lay aside their years of disinterest in Medjugorje and choose to go and see for yourself.

Wonderful News
The Papal Envoy to Medjugorje Archbishop Henryk Hoser (8th Dec 2017). Today dioceses and other institutions can organize official pilgrimages to Medjugorje. Pope Francis has said ' I am full of admiration for the work the Franciscans are doing In Medjugorje they do a huge job of welcoming pilgrims. Every summer they organise a youth festival where over 50,000 young people come from all over the world with more than 700 priests there. There is a massive number of confessions, They have over 50 confessionals which are not enough. These are very deep confessions'. This is a phenomenon and what confirms the authenticity of the place is the large amount of charitable institutions that exist around the sanctuary. Henrkyk Hoser said 'what I find touching is that all the seers have turned to family life – In our day and age the family is of enormous importance – all of them have a family and those who were teenagers at the time of the apparitions are already grandmothers. 37 years have now passed'!

At Medjugorje our Blessed Mother is leading all her children back to her son Jesus. The greatest events in the Bible connected to God are periods of 40 days or years. If these apparitions continue to June 24th 2021 It will be 40 years that our Blessed Mother has descended from her Heavenly throne to this village. This will have God’s seal of approval on them. This outcome will be the same as God leading the Jews through the desert to the promised land for 40 years. This will be the beginning of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Era of Peace. This is not the end of Time, it is the end of satan’s time.

Mary's greatest truimph will be in leading all her children back home and restoring us all to God our Father. Mary was the first child of God to offer her YES to the Father. By guiding all her children to offer their YES, she truly crushes the head of the serpent who seduced mankind into disobedience and exile. Because of this woman my friends, the children of God will once again, as it was in the beginning of time, dwell with Him in Paradise.

When Mary chose the village of Medjugorje she said 'I have found true believers'. The only wealth these families had was Jesus. Mary said 'I desire to take you by the hand and walk with you in the battle against the evil one. God doesn’t want anything else for you, only your surrender – PRAY and do that which the Holy Spirit is telling you to do'. Mary is perfect holiness and she wants to give all her children on Earth God’s greatest gift to Her. - HOLINESS.

THE MIRACULOUS POWER OF PRAYER

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

'Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray,
believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you'. (Mark 11:24)

When we pray my friends we must believe that our prayers will be answered and faith is the answer that we will receive. Whatever we ask for in prayer we have to believe that we will receive. “Ask and believe that you will receive, believe and you will have life through His name" (John 20:31).

Many of us today want the problems and difficulties that we face in our lives resolved in an instant! We spend some time in prayer and our problems are not resolved. Many give up and stop praying, cultivate patience and ask for it, as patience is a Divine virtue If we all knew how patient God is with us, our faith in daily prayer will become more fervent and sincere. Our daily prayer will also become more numerous and miracles will become a part of our daily prayer life.

Many of us today operate by our human nature “I will believe it, when I see it attitude” . God operates by the supernatural, believe it and you will see it! Nothing is impossible to God (Luke 1:37), if our faith and our confidence in Him are great and sincere then God, who can and will do all things, will answer with more than we ask for, but in His own time. God knows us better than we know ourselves because He created us all in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:27). He knows and He sees everything, that is why He will only give us what is good for us. Our faith can move mountains (Mathew 17:20), so ask with Faith and you will receive (Matthew 7:7-8).

Pray from the heart my friends and pray with faith. Do not just repeat words as the prayer is empty, be sincere and think about what you are saying and whom you are addressing in prayer. Then the miracles will happen.

Hebrews 11:6 - ' And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.'

Hebrews 10:22 - 'let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.'

James 1:5-8 - 'If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord.

POPE FRANCIS

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Pray for Pope Francis that the Holy Spirit will guide him and help him in his struggle to Kick out Freemasomry from within the Church

We must all pray for our Pope, Francis the 1st, and be loyal to him. Pope Francis is the voice of God for all humanity, he who listens to the Pope listens to God. Only by listening can peace and harmony be restored, this is why the Pope is called 'The Vicar of Christ on Earth'. The Holy Spirit is the soul of the family of God, the Catholic Church, and he who is with Pope Francis, is with Christ, and he who is not with him is in error.

His responsibility as head of the Church surpasses all human wisdom, and which Divine assistance is indispensable. This assistance from God comes to him from the intermediary of our daily prayers for him. The cross which weighs on his shoulders is very heavy and it is the duty of every Catholic to help him carry it. This is why we must all pray for him and love him.

True Catholics see in his authority as Pope a great gift from Heaven and many today do not believe in his infallibility as Pope when he speaks as Head of the Universal Church. They think they have the right to refute his works, to blame him, and to mock him, 'He who despises him, despises Christ' (Luke 10:16) . It is a duty to listen to him in what he commands, counsels, or desires. For whoever listens to him 'Listens to Christ'. - By Philip Illsley.

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER

Thu, 07 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Words of wisdom, pearls of gold, from the book
'The Father Speaks to His Children' - Imprimatur Vatican 1989.

Our Father Says:
"Everything I am saying to you is intended to make you realise that I come to carry out this work of love. Raise yourselves to the dignity of children of God and learn how to respect your own greatness. I will then be your Father more than ever, the most loveable and merciful of Fathers."

"I have come to bring peace with this work of love. I will let a ray of peace fall upon anyone who honours me and trusts in me. So that he will be relieved in all his troubles, all his worries, sufferings and afflictions, especially if he calls me and loves me as his Father. If families honour me and love me as their Father, I will give my peace together with my providence."

"If workers, businessmen and artisans invoke and honour me, I will give them my peace and my strength, I will show myself to be a good and merciful Father. If each Christian community invokes and honours Me, I will give it my peace."

Excerpts from the 'Father of Mankind'
which can be downloaded at the footer of this post.

Page 59:
"I will show myself to be a most loving Father and through my power I will ensure the eternal salvation of souls. If all Mankind invokes and honours me I will bring down upon it the spirit of peace like a benevolent dew."

"If all nations invoke and honour me there will be no more discord, nor wars, because I am the God of peace and where I am, there no war can be."

"Finally you know that I can do everything because of my power. Well, I am offering this power to all of you, to use now and for eternity. I will always show Myself to be your Father, provided that you show yourselves to be My children."

"What do I desire to achieve with this work of love, if not to find hearts able to understand Me. I am holiness of which I possess the perfect and full expression; I offer you this holiness, of which I am the author, through my Holy Spirit, and I instill it in your souls through My Son’s merits. It is through My Son and the Holy Spirit that I am coming to you and into you, and it is in you that I seek My repose."

"To some souls the words, I am coming into you will seem a mystery, but it is not a mystery! Because having instructed My Son to institute the Holy Eucharist, I intended to come to you every time you receive the Sacred Host."

Page 60:
"Of course nothing prevented me from coming to you even before the Eucharist, as nothing is impossible to Me! But receiving this Sacrament is an action that is easy to understand and it shows how I come to you."

"When I am in you, I can more easily give you what I possess provided you ask me for it. Through this Sacrament you are intimately united with Me. It is in this intimacy that the outpouring of my love make my holiness spread into your souls. I fill you with my love then you have only to ask me for the virtues and perfection you need and you can be sure that in those moments when God is reposing in his creatures nothing will be refused you. Since you know my favorite place of rest, are you not going to offer me it ? I am your Father and your God ; will you dare refuse me this? Oh do not let Me suffer because of your cruelty towards a Father who is asking you for this one favour for himself."

"Before ending this message, I want to express a wish to numerous souls who are consecrated to my service. You priests, and religious, are those souls. You are dedicated to my service whether in the contemplative life or in charitable and apostolic works. For my part this is a privilege granted through my goodness; for your part, it is faithfulness to your vocation, together with your good will. You know all the difficulties that have to be overcome to win a soul, this is the effective means of helping you to bring a great number of them to me, this means is that of making me known, loved, and honoured by men . I want you to be the first ones to start doing this. What joy for me to enter first the houses of priest’s and religious!"

"What joy to find myself as Father amid the children of my love ! I will be everything for you. I will satisfy all your needs, most of all I will be the Father who receives your requests, who lavishes His love His benefits and His universal tenderness upon you. Do not refuse me this joy which I desire to enjoy with you I will give it back to you a hundred fold and since you will honour me I will honour you too by preparing great glory for you in my kingdom."

"I am the light of lights; where it penetrates there will be life, bread and happiness. This light will illuminate the pilgrim, the septic, the ignorant. It will illuminate you all. O men who live in this world of darkness and vice, if you did not have my light you would fall into the abyss of eternal death."

"Finally, this light will lighten the ways which lead to the true Catholic Church for its poor children who are still victims of superstition. I will show myself as a Father to those who suffer most on earth, the poor lepers. I will show myself to be a Father of all those abandoned the outcasts of every human society. I will show myself as a Father to the afflicted, the sick, and above all those who are in agony. I will show Myself as a Father to all families, to orphans, widows, prisoners, workers, and the young."

"I will show Myself as the Father of Kings, the Father of their Nations. You will all feel my goodness and my protection. You will all see my power."

I love You my Father and I give myself to you. Please take care of everything – because love pays for everything.

THERE WILL BE A GREAT WONDER...

Tue, 05 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

There will come 'A Great Wonder' which will fill the world with astonishment!
The vision of Pope Pius IX in 1878.

This great Pope reigned from 16th June 1864 until his death in 1878. He was the longest reigning elected Pope in the history of the Catholic Church serving for over 31 years. In this vision of Pope Pius he said; Since the whole world is against God and his Church, it is evident that he has reserved the victory over his enemies to himself. This will be more obvious when it is considered that the root of all present evils is to be found in the fact that those with talents and vigor crave earthly pleasures and not only desert God but repudiate him altogether, thus it appears they cannot be brought back in any other way except through an act that cannot be described to any secondary agency and thus all will be forced to 'look to the supernatural' .

There will come A Great Wonder which will fill the world with astonishment. This will be preceded by the triumph of revolution. The Church will suffer exceedingly and her servants and her chieftain will be mocked, scourged, and martyred. When Pope Pius mentions 'there will come A Great Wonder that will fill the world with astonishment', this my friends I believe is the great universal warning foretold by Our Blessed Lady the Queen of Prophets at San Sebastian De Garabandal in 1961.

This is otherwise known as the 'Illumination of our consciences' where everyone over the age of seven will see their sinful selves as they stand before the judgement throne of God. This will frighten all humanity, it will be like a fire that will not burn our flesh and it will last a short time, but for us all it will seem much longer. It is meant to be a purification, the revelation of all our sins, for each and everyone of us to see our sinful self as we stand before God. What we will all feel in our hearts will be worse than sorrow, it will not kill us, but some may die by the emotion created within, on seeing their sins and how they offend God.

Pope Pius also said that this will be preceded by the Triumph of Revolution which I believe is again what Our Lady the Queen of Prophets also foretold at Garabandal, the tribulation of Communism led by Russia. Our Lady again foretold that communism would come back and cause great suffering before its reign of terror is suddenly ended. The visionaries at Garabnadal were shown a brief period of time in Europe, suddenly Italy, France and Spain would be overrun by Communism. She said there would be persecution of the Church and the Holy Father would have to flee Rome. The tribulation would be an awesome time for the Church and priests would be in hiding. Remember what Pope Pius IX said; "the Church would suffer exceedingly and her servants and her Chieftain will be mocked, scourged, and martyred." What stops this tribulation is the 'Great Universal Warning', the Illumination of our consciences.

Please believe me when I say that this Great Universal Warning preceded by the tribulation of Communism is nearer than you all may think. I believe it is very close and we all need to wake up to what is happening in the world. Pope Saint John Paul II warned us at Feluda in Germany in 1980 that we cannot stop the coming tribulation it is to late; but we can mitigate it by daily prayer and if we stop sinning! All of us must go to war with sin and we must all pray the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily!

We have been given powerful weapons from Heaven to defeat Satan and all his evil but we must use them and pray daily without fail. These prayers in The Divine Will take on infinite value and power because it is Jesus and all of Heaven who is praying with us. Jesus said: "One prayer in the Divine Will is worth more than a lifetime of Prayer in the Human Will." – this is the power that has been given to us. - By Philip Illsley.
