The thing I notice is that everything is falling apart. Nothing is working now as it used to. For instance in work we trace hospital notes by means of a little electronic tag we place on them. That way we know were they are all the time and in a huge big hospital we really need this. But we often cannot get the tags anymore and run out. The tags are ordered from China and with the lockdowns there they are not getting through. Things just keep failing.
One certainly wouldn't disagree if one was trying to catch a plane in Dublin Airport these days...and it's not just Dublin.
One of their big things seems to be travel. They've a particular bee in their bonnet about us travelling. I reckon that's one of the first things that will permanently disappear. As things come more and more into focus we get to see the depths of their depravity. For instance, they want guns removed from the 'normal' American people (this must be a big stumbling block for them). I hate to say this, but there is evidence to suggest that they deliberately allowed those kids to be murdered in that Texas high school the other day... If this was the case --- OMG!
I keep seeing empty store shelves. Except for Dollar General, the made in China stores seem to never run out. Our big grocery store was out of bottled water this weekend. And coffee and peanut butter and other things.
I think this Winter will tell the tale. If it is a hard Winter, watch out. https://nursingnotes.co.uk/news/wor...esperate-attempt-to-support-struggling-staff/
I was at confession at midday, such a real joy. There were a few good souls there. Let me keep our Churches and the Sacraments and I will already be in heaven. Though I suppose there will shortly come a time when these too will be taken; till then I am already in heaven when I am there... Lord let me go hungry, but never for your Church...I never appreciated Our Holy Mother the Church as I do at the moment, when it is entering its own Passion and Death..but also its Resurrection in the Immaculate Heart of Mary....
Alex Jones was sued by the families of the Sandy Hook school shooting for defamation. He called it a false flag. He lost in court and the money amount will be decided this August. We have to be very careful.
I'm glad your prayers are being answered with speed. It has been a hard year for you and you've fought your way through.
I would advise people not to be travelling abroad at the moment. You may not get back home. Be sensible. It's purest common sense. It will be no holiday being stuck in some foreign country forever an ever and not to see your homeland anymore. With little money, friends of kinfolk to look after you. A stranger in some foreign Land, begging God to get you out of the fix you're in through your own blind. stupid, p ie eyed, wandering fault. God gave you commonsense. Use it. I wouldn't go too much further than my own two feet would take me at the moment. Psalm 32:7-8 – For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.“
I feel the same way. Daily mental prayer at the Blessed Sacrament and turning off the world has brought me so much peace and joy. The world can fall apart, but the Indwelling Trinity is my resting place. Heaven can begin in Faith on earth. Fear not He has conquered the world.
Good posts, Padraig and Carmelite. My priest always says, “if you don’t like coming to church, then for sure you won’t like Heaven.”
Thanks Seagrace, I think I must thank the many prayers of others for helping me through the last year as well, without those prayers we would all sink. There does seem to be so many graces around these days. Example, I was at a funeral last weekend it turns out the most hardened atheist I work with (he even dresses like a BLM antifa type), his wife is also related to my uncle in law who passed away. At the start of mass I could see the atheist being quite stubborn and dismissive as usual. I was a few rows behind him. I prayed for him during mass. Although it might have been mainly the amazing choir as my uncle was in the choir but at the end of the mass there was not a dry eye in the crowd. I never heard Ave Maria sang to well. Well, at the end I could see the death metal type, black dressed athiest even bless himself, I could not believe it. Even at the dinner he came up and spoke to me, he normally avoids me at all costs. Thank God.
So true about travel, they are determined to keep us locked up. Travel is not only ridiculously expensive, but it's chaos. Hundreds of domestic flights were cancelled on this holiday weekend leaving many travelers stranded. It is painful to even think about the events surrounding this school shooting, I have a grandson in the 4th grade so this hit close to home. Very suspicious indeed for law enforcement to wait long enough for the killer to slaughter children and their teachers. It doesn't make sense for trained professionals to behave like this especially when children are in peril. This is not normal.
I am traveling to Portugal in June with my family. It all came together in unexpected ways with much prayer. I hope visiting Fatima, Santiago Spain and other blessed sites will strengthen my family’s faith. I trust that we will be protected and will get back home safely.
