CHRISTIANITY / CONTEMPLATIVES / NUNS

I give to you the testimony of Mary Faustina "Tina" Gorham.  She has a very special announcement that we all need to hear: she is becoming a nun!  She enters the convent on June 27, 2024. 

So who are "The Benedictine Daughters of Devine Will", the order that Mary Faustina has decided to join???  They are an order that seems to be inspired by Catholic mystic Luisa Piccarreta, who had an AMAZING revelation about God's divine will.   The Mother Superior: Mother Garbrielle, is an incredible woman, and she explains what's involved in the teachings about The Divine Will.  Very interesting stuff!

CHRISTIANITY / END-TIMES / MEDJUGORJE

Until very recently, the Virgin Mary was constantly appearing to four people in Medjugorje in the tiny country of "Bosnia and Herzegovina" in the former Yugoslavia.   

They have told us that they have TEN SECRETS about the future, and those secrets will be revealed in due time.   The first three secrets are basically going to set the state, and then the next seven secrets will reveal the wrath of God against the inhabitants of earth.   The visionaries are in their late 50's right now, and it is believed that these secrets will most likely be revealed in the next few years.   The apparitions began when they were young teenagers during the civil wars that broke-out after the disintegration of Yugoslavia back into a collection of small nations.   These visions gave people a lot of hope in a time of great violence and misery.  

There is certainly a feeling amongst concerned Christians world-wide that we are headed for the end-times.   Whether or not these visionaries are for real, only God knows.

CHRISTIANITY / MARY / APPARITIONS 

Well, this is worth considering.   The Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Agnes in a convent in Akita, Japan, and had a few words of warning to share.  

to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa

August 3, 1973

"My daughter, my novice, do you love the Lord? If you love the Lord, listen to what I have to say to you."

"It is very important...You will convey it to your superior."

"Many men in this world afflict the Lord. I desire souls to console Him to soften the anger of the Heavenly Father. I wish, with my Son, for souls who will repair by their suffering and their poverty for the sinners and ingrates."

"In order that the world might know His anger, the Heavenly Father is preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind. With my Son I have intervened so many times to appease the wrath of the Father. I have prevented the coming of calamities by offering Him the sufferings of the Son on the Cross, His Precious Blood, and beloved souls who console Him forming a cohort of victim souls. Prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the Father's anger. I desire this also from your community...that it love poverty, that it sanctify itself and pray in reparation for the ingratitude and outrages of so many men.

Recite the prayer of the Handmaids of the Eucharist with awareness of its meaning; put it into practice; offer in reparation (whatever God may send) for sins. Let each one endeavor, according to capacity and position, to offer herself entirely to the Lord."

"Even in a secular institute prayer is necessary. Already souls who wish to pray are on the way to being gathered together. Without attaching to much attention to the form, be faithful and fervent in prayer to console the Master."

After a silence:

"Is what you think in your heart true? Are you truly decided to become the rejected stone? My novice, you who wish to belong without reserve to the Lord, to become the spouse worthy of the Spouse, make your vows knowing that you must be fastened to the Cross with three nails. These three nails are poverty, chastity, and obedience. Of the three, obedience is the foundation. In total abandon, let yourself be led by your superior. He will know how to understand you and to direct you."

October 13, 1973

"My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior."

After a short silence:

"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.

"The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them"

"With courage, speak to your superior. He will know how to encourage each one of you to pray and to accomplish works of reparation."

"It is Bishop Ito, who directs your community."

And She smiled and then said:

"You have still something to ask? Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior."

"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved."

CHRISTIANITY / HEALING

Can THE VIRGIN MARY heal us?  Most Catholics will say yes, most Protestants will say no.   

Father Chad Ripperger explains how Mary can help us heal.  This is a surprisingly deep lesson in regards to Mary and the sorrows she had to deal with being the mother of Jesus.
