This man is a monster. But he is also a soul Jesus loves and died for so that he may have eternal life. We need to pray and make reparation for his conversion as difficult as that may be. We can only do this by deciding not to look at him through the lens of our memories of his actions, but rather to look at him through the lens of our memories of Jesus on Calvary. Can you imagine meeting him in heaven and Jesus saying he is only there because of your prayers and sacrifice? Think of the happiness of Jesus with a soul snatched from hell.
Truth! A very good reminder. When Jesus says we must forgive the "aught against any" he is not excluding this man or any other sinner. We must make an act of will to forgive and send up a prayer for his soul. The commandant of Aushwitz--mass murderer--received the grace of repentance two days before his execution in a Polish prison. And guess who had prayed for him? St Maximikian Kolbe and the men who died with him in the starvation bunker. God honors prayer! ( Fr Reehil tells the story--Rudolf Hoess raised in a devout Catholic home but turned from his faith and joined Hitler as a very young man. His sins were as public as it gets. Yet God spoke to his heart and Hoess received the grace to ask for forgiveness. An interesting addendum to this. The priest they found to hear his confession was praying in front of the original image of Divine Mercy when they found him. It was Good Friday!!! And...other priests had refused to go because of the heinous crimes the man had committed. )
Good reminder. That was the purpose of this thread. Will it happen again? Hopefully not but given how easy it was to brainwash millions of people to accept rules that were clearly absurd and contrary to human dignity I’m not holding my breath. In Germany I understand police officers were patrolling the streets arresting people who were walking with family or friends and not observing the 6 foot distance rule.
It was a rehearsal in my view. A beta test to see how people would respond to abject fear and we saw it. The whole population became easy to control. Having gone through it and having hind sight i hope it helps me and all of us to discern the next move on the part of the worldly powers to take control.
Exactly. I don’t want to sound negative but I think the results exceeded their expectations. But ultimately God is in control.
I think they will not get away with it as much the next time as a lot of people have woken up. The biggest problem is that we are all controlled by the banks. It is difficult to live without an account & in reality the banks own and control our money. They have the power to debank us at any time on a whim. We are ultimately slaves of a banking system.
I have come to think that a lot of this was about making money…at any cost. Big Pharma appears to be creating new contagious diseases through satanic ‘gain-of-function’ experiments and making ‘vaccines’ for them in advance of letting them loose. For this, they can persuade all politicians (that aren’t assassinated-Japan) to indemnify them. If these ‘vaccines’ create further illnesses, it’s just another opportunity for them to sell ‘cures’. They’re not going to go away quietly, I think.
I so admire people who can say they are sorry. But I hope this while thing makes them think a little deeper next time round. James 1:5: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.
I'm curious as to what you all think. Why did some people overcome all the pressure to conform and take the vaccine? I know everyone who refused was in different positions and had varying religious beliefs. But in all cases and I remember all to well the pressure to conform was very intense
My husband and I were talking about this just yesterday. There was a very palpable feeling of evil during Covid...So many things that were troubling in the spirit. One of the biggest ones was how quickly the churches shut down, how long people were dispensed from Mass, how they took away our holy water for longer than a year! But my husband and I were specifically remembering how people were driven to such fear that they turned against each other. Early on, there were a few people who chose not to live in fear and venture into the public without a mask. It was such a blessing to run into these few and be able to exchange smiles. But almost immediately, whoever was controlling the narrative and fueling mass panic came up with a way to disparage these few unmasked people: "They don't care about YOU! They could be asymptomatic carriers, spreading Covid to others, and it is unloving and irresponsible to not be wearing a mask..." It made my head spin to see how quickly they came up with that. So now, people were being told they shouldn't be encouraged by others' lack of fear...they should be angered by their supposed lack of care for their fellow humanity. And that really, really worked, because people could then cover up their own fear with a sense of moral superiority: "Look what I'M doing to flatten the curve. Look how much I care about others with this mask on my face and refusing to come within 6 feet of anyone." During that time, I was walking up to a grocery store, and a woman passed out. Her head hit the concrete with a sickening thud, and I began running to her to see how I could help. There were people all around, and many stopped to stare and pull out their phones, but not one of them came within 6 feet of her. She wanted to sit up, so I supported her head and tried to help, but it was difficult by myself. That moment really stood out for me as I looked around at all the masked faces 6 feet away--the people so quick to judge others for not caring about humanity. Eventually a young man came to help me. He also was not wearing a mask. Now that's not to say that everyone who wore a mask was living in fear. Many of us were following rules, obeying our governors, forced to do so to get into stores and buy our groceries. You could tell people's hearts, the way some tried to smile behind their masks at you vs. glaring at you for approaching the 6 foot invisible barrier. But by the time the vaccines rolled out, there was already a precedent set; they'd learned how to make the majority conform through moral superiority and masked fear. If the crowds had not fallen into line behind this easy way to cloak their fear AND feel superior to others, the institutions and governments wouldn't have had the power to make the vaccines mandatory. As it is, many of us were faced with losing our livelihood over it. Some were able to take that stand; others weren't. Our situations were all different. My husband was faced with it himself, and we had already had that talk, about what we were willing to lose. We were so fortunate that he and his coworkers were able to band together and refuse. Too many of them refused, so the vaccine mandate had to be dropped. If only there were a way, when this happens again, for humanity to band together in true lack of fear and true love for each other. It will take the grace of God. Only He can do it, when more people turn to HIM for their comfort and guidance than they do to the world and its institutions.
I frequently see people still wearing masks, not many but a few. And the Gov Health Department is still pushing the booster here. When the whole thing kicked off I was in adoration one eve and I asked the Lord what was behind it. Immediately I received an answer. A spirit of fear and a spirit of leprosy. I kinda expected the fear but the leprosy surprised me. I was at a funeral mass for a close friend the following day in a very well known church and the pp shouted at me when I tried to receive on the tongue. He was full of fear and I was like a leper to him. I'm sure most of you who didn't take the jab were increasingly treated like outcasts in your communities.
One of the most tragic things of all were the old people who had to die without family at their bedside and often without a priest.
