The rescued US aviator is a man of courage and great faith. The message he sent, “God is good” confirmed his identity to the American rescuers, since his fellow airmen know him as a religious person. Down on Good Friday and bleeding profusely, he treated his wounds and scaled a cliff 7,000 ft. He hid in a crevice on Holy Saturday and was finally rescued at dawn on Easter Sunday!
. All I know is we pray for each other. Even if we disagree on things, we lift each other up and pray for others. I include all I'm my Rosary daily! Everyone![/QUOTE]
Well thank you, Padraig, for this forum. You and I have had our own skirmishes but I am grateful for you, what you started and continue here, and for how God and Our Lady work through us to help each other. I think of you fondly as like my hot-headed, very Catholic uncle. I hope you don't mind!
What a wonderful and inspiring reminder that God is with us, ever-moving, ever working all things to good for those who love Him.
[/QUOTE] It's wonderful to know Our Lady can handle it because everyone of us is her child! I love you Mom!
Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: “You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait" Mar 22: "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran." Mar 24: "We’re making progress." Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away." Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO." Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences." Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing" Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon." Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen." Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences. Apr 5: Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fu-kin’ Strait, you crazy ba-tards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP April 6: "We're doing unbelievably well," he says of the ongoing war against Iran. "The entire country (Iran) can be taken out in one night – and that night might be tomorrow night," he says. April 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again".
Mario next year will be our 20th anniversary on this forum. I can only say it has been a gift and a lifeline to me. Thank you Holy Mother, Thank you Pádraig, Thank you Terry, Thank you Brian K, thank you John. Thank you Garabandal who was also a very early member. I'm sure there are others. Sorry if I have forgotten earlier members. This forum is helping to prepare us and walk us through these difficult times. I bless and today will pray for you all at Mass, past members and present. Alleluia He is Risen
Thank you for this beautiful post maryrose. I am praying today for all forum members too. Allelia He is Risen.
The many, many prayers, rosaries , and Masses said for Alyce and I here on the forum after our accident absolutely sustained us and helped us survive, heal and I truly believe were instrumental in helping us forgive. The prayers here were added to the deluge of prayers we were recipients off from literally around tge world. I was and remain humbled by this. In short, this forum through its members loved my wife and I even-though we never met anyone in person.The Holy Spirit is alive here. I know it because I will never forget the inspiration of John and others who felt something was wrong b/c they did not hear from me in a while. And tgen Prayslie and HH tracking me down to then share with rest of forum about our accident. This is the heart of this place. Its a Mother's Heart! Our Lady is here. So despite our humanness which can yes cause squabbles, this is a home/ the home of Our Lady- a home full of men and women who love each other as brothers and sisters of Our Lord. So, I take this moment again to thank you all for your prayers and ask anyone on this forum that I may have offended for your forgiveness. with my prayers and love in Christ Jesus!
Though the President seems to have always had the ability of speaking off the top of his head, his present incoherence is troubling.
I agree. Praying for the teetering world right now and conversions for the most hardened sinners. But especially those in charge who can make OR break peace. May our Mother intervene for us and guide us all toward the light and salvation of our Lord.
I just had a crazy thought. What if Trump has gone wacko on purpose? What if he knows that the GOP will lose the House and maybe even the Senate in November. If that happens, he knows he will be impeached so go wacko now so that his party has to remove him for health reasons and then Vance is President. It becomes much harder to impeach Vance and then whomever his VP pick would be (prob Rubio) to then add in the sucession, the speaker of the house which would be a democrat. This move buys time for 2 more years before you have a potential Democrat presidency and congress where so many laws will change and preserve bascially one party rule for the next 20+ years. That is a something this country can't have whether it is one party rule democrat or republican. Anywho just a crazy thought. Maybe not even that in depth, maybe he just wants to be removed for his own ego or even worse he has gone completely wacko for real and WW3 may be upon us. No matter what all we can do is storm heaven!!!
I am a member of the Right to Life Party here in the USA. But in contacting the Congress I obviously have to deal with Democrats and Republicans. I've just sent letters to the 2 Democratic NYS Senators calling for action regarding what I consider the President's dangerous rhetoric of late. I was a little more refined, but I think in this regard citizens should stand up and demand that this war end immediately. Peace is our goal, not a crushing, irreversible blow against "the enemy".
