Children, Heed Her Warnings

If I didn't see this on Terry's blog, I would never have known it happened.  I haven't heard a word about it elsewhere.  I don't know why.  Perhaps it's because there is concern about inviting copycats - I don't know. I invite all of you to make acts of reparation and pray the Litany of Reparation to the Blessed Sacrament.

The apparitions of Our Lady of Akita as well as the messages she conveyed were formally recognized by the Church by then-Cardinal Ratzinger.  I can only imagine how much more she weeps as the world has decayed since those apparitions at an alarming rate.   The punishment she foretold will cause the living to envy the dead.  I don't know about you but there are people in my immediate family who are in serious jeopardy of not even making it to Purgatory.   Thus what frightens me most is not that I won't survive this punishment but that it will occur before loved ones have asked for forgiveness and merited a chance for salvation.  The signs are all around that the hand of the Heavenly Father is more and more difficult for Our Lady to contain and that even she will soon be unable to prevent Him from inflicting a punishment "worse than the deluge."

More and more weather events will take the good along with the bad and wreak havoc on the economy.  Americans will continue to yawn as yet another school shooting breaks out.  Perversion is not only legalized but encouraged and disguised as love.  Abortion continues to be viewed as healthcare.  The fruits of abortion on demand will continue to be seen in countries like India, where baby girls have been aborted to the point where  the men outnumber the women in such alarming numbers that depraved animals gang-rape and mutilate women.  And the satanists will be further emboldened to desecrate Jesus in His Sacrament of Love.  
Changes in my own life point to a more difficult future.   We're much better off than some, but still a broken hip or a cancer diagnosis away from financial ruin.   Our parish church is in danger of being closed and there is little that can be done short of a miracle to save it.  The people moving into the neighborhood have no time for God, let alone Mass.  When the old people succumb to the "biological solution" that none of us can avoid, there will not be enough people left to keep the parish afloat.  We bury more people than we christen.

That is, unless some event happens to leave them so desperate, they will finally turn to God and beg Him for mercy.  We saw this happen a bit after 9/11.  For a time, people went back to church and everywhere you looked,  billboards implored God to bless America. But then we got fat and content again and decided we didn't need God's help after all.

In my own head, I hear voices constantly.  I had a vision of someone with very cold eyes following me, and popping out from behind every corner, intent to devour me in whatever way he could.  Trials happen with such frequency that it is as if the Voice of God has been scrambled and I can no longer hear Him, except to constantly remind me what an utter disappointment I am, and I know full well that voice is not His.

I plow ahead the best I can.  Through the grace of  Jesus Christ, I pray the Rosary with more attention than I ever could before.  But I have to beg for His help every time, or I wind up just saying the words and dwelling on my problems instead of the Gospel mysteries.  I also have faith in Our Lady and her promises, so even if I feel nothing, I know I'm doing something that pleases her, though it may not necessarily impress her.

I entreat you to commit to your daily Rosary with a greater fervor than ever.  Make every sacrifice you are able to make and offer it up in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of  Mary. Ignore every voice that doesn't echo our Master's.  Remember that our shepherds, especially the Pope, don't need a daily critique.  They need our prayers.  We're beyond the point of discussion and debate.  Don't waste your time writing and/or reading anyone who calls themselves Catholic but spends more time tearing down than they do building up.  There is no time to waste.

Awhile back my dear friend Richard suggested that a reason I might not be progressing spiritually is because of the weak Novus Ordo Masses I attended daily.  This is not a jab at the Novus Ordo.  It is an admonition to steer clear of bad liturgy and if that means going to the Traditional Latin Mass, stop making excuses and find one.

I want to save souls, but of more urgency right now is making reparation to Our Lord.  Mass, Confession and Adoration.  If you won't do it for Him, who will?

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who dost deign to remain with us in
Thy wonderful Sacrament to the end of the world, in order to
give to Thy Father, by the memory of Thy Passion, eternal glory,
 and to give to us the Bread of life everlasting: Grant
us the grace to mourn, with a heart full of sorrow, over the
injuries which Thou hast received in this adorable Mystery,
and over the many sacrileges which are committed by the impious, by heretics and by bad Catholics.
Inflame us with an ardent zeal to repair all these insults to which,
in Thine infinite mercy, Thou hast preferred to expose Thyself 
rather than deprive us of Thy Presence on our altars, Who with God
the Father and the Holy Spirit livest and reignest one God,
world without end. R. Amen.

  1. We are indeed living in scary times. Keep praying and trust. Have confidence. The Holy Spirit prays in us because we don't know how to pray as we ought and we can only do our best to be attentive - but don't be discouraged by distractions and worries - of course you know that from Therese.

Comments which reflect true Christian charity are always welcome. Comments which attack the Pope, the Church, priests or other bloggers will go in the dustbin, especially if they are anonymous. Thank you and God Bless you!
