    I try not to be a pessimist, but I'm beginning to believe that fearmongering, and an extension of covid-19 with social distancing, is part of the NWO playbook. Having advanced their worldwide agenda this far, they are not about to slow down now. Trump may stall their plans to some degree, but all this I believe is allowed by God to bring us to the precipice when the Warning will take place. Whoever thought a society could so easily be fooled? Never in my wildest dreams did I foresee or anticipate such manipulation.:( Enforceable vaccination is on the horizon. What will we choose when that time comes? An increasing number will realize what we realize, but ultimately God wants us to realize our impotence so we can surrender it all to the Two Hearts. I admit it is scary because the descent has steepened so quickly.

    Remember:

    Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

    Prayer and fasting should be our course of action, now.

    Lord have Mercy on the blind and grant Fortitude to those who see!

    You are completely correct. About everything. And the “descent has steepened so quickly.”
    The plans were afoot for decades, but meetings to plan for what to do during pandemics were held in 2019 with Gates Foundation, Johns Hopkins, et al.
    The message was given to Sr Agnes in early October.
    Pachamama in October. Covid right after that.
    Thank you for a very poignant post, Mario.

    Federal judge allows religious gatherings in NY

    ALBANY – The state cannot limit outdoor religious gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a federal judge in Albany ruled Friday.

    Senior U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe ruled in favor of two upstate Catholic priests and three orthodox Jewish congregants in Brooklyn who asked the judge for an injunction on June 10 to keep the state and city of New York from enforcing restrictions on their religious gatherings. The suit was filed against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

    On June 15, Cuomo modified an executive order to allow non-essential gatherings of up to 25 people. Two days later, de Blasio authorized his city agencies to enforce the governor’s order.

    In his ruling, the judge said Cuomo and de Blasio could just as easily have discouraged the large public protests that took place following the police killing in Minneapolis of George Floyd. That could have been done, Sharpe wrote, not to condemn the protesters’ message but in the name of public health.

    “They could have also been silent,” Sharpe stated. “But by acting as they did, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass protests are deserving of preferential treatment.”

    Sharpe said Rev. Steven Soos and Rev. Nicholas Stamos, who hold masses in Glens Falls, Massena and Nicholville, have had to turn away parishioners or hold more masses per day than are possible. Drive-in masses have not helped, the judge said.


    Sharpe said the executive order has been a burden to the friends and families of people getting married or laid to rest. And the citing the objections of Orthodox Jewish congregants Daniel Schonbrun, Elchanan Perr, and Mayer Mayerfeld, the judge said synagogue prayers require a minimum of 10 males aged 13 or older, which prevents females and younger males from attending events.

    The judge said allowing outdoor graduations of up to 150 people was another exception that was not allowed for religious groups.

    “Having carefully reviewed the relevant issues, and with a firm understanding that the executive branch response to the pandemic has presented issues with a degree of complexity that is unrivaled in recent history, it is plain to this court that the broad limits of that executive latitude have been exceeded,” Sharpe stated.

    The federal Department of Justice issued a statement later Friday from Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division.

    "Today’s federal court decision is a win for religious freedom and the civil liberties of New Yorkers," he said. "Government cannot discriminate by protecting free speech and the right to assemble while threatening or limiting religious exercise –- it must protect all rights guaranteed under the First Amendment."

    People are not taking the virus seriously. I see many people on the street without keeping a safe distance, without wearing masks. There are regrowths. This virus is spreading. We will pray because it is very necessary

    Love that this Judge has done this ! I have a question, not sure if this is where I should place it, however, yesterday I finally was able to go to a live Mass at my Church, since there aren't more than 100 people or 25% capacity for daily mass, I made the sacrifice after not sleeping most of the night to get up at 6:00 am and make it to the 7am mass. I wore the mask as we are required to do even though that too is a sacrifice for me. When I reached the door of the church, I was approached by a young woman holding a bottle of hand sanitizer, I informed her that I can not use that and was told by her that she cannot allow me to go into the Church. I felt that this was an unjust rule as no where does it say I MUST use hand sanitizer or I will not be allowed entrance so I went in anyway against her wishes an sat in the back of the Church. I was so upset I could hardly concentrate did on the mass itself and I was very sorrowful. I did not know if I was going to participate in Holy Communion because I cannot bring myself to take the host into my unconsecrated hands , however by at the time of Communion again I was approached by this time an usher asking me if I was going to receive Communion and I stated No I wasn't and again he proceeded to shove the sanitizer into my face telling me I had to use this , even after I told him that I was allergic to it and could not use it and that I was NOT going to Communion, he continued with forcing me to use it, so I had to leave the Church. I told them that was wrong and they knew it. I'm not sure what to do about this except write a letter to the Bishop and the Pastor of the Church. No where that I know of in the city that I am in are you required or forced to use hand sanitizer, it may be recommended but not mandatory. So so wrong.

    Jane,

    Welcome to our little Forum!:) I have not seen a post from you before.

    This setup is so uncharitable!

    Rules are safety boundaries. Simply said, one of the rules cannot apply to you. I do not know in what diocese you live, nor the boundaries established by your Bishop. You should speak first to your pastor; that would be the proper order. But when clarifying your questions, you need to know if your Pastor's rules coincide with the Bishop, and secondly if the "ushers " were following the dictates of the Pastor.

    From what you say, it appears your Bishop does not allow Holy Communion on the tongue. Is that right?

    Safe in the Father's Arms!

    Well, myself and my five children have the coronavirus. :unsure: Praise the Lord, it has been somewhat mild. Three of the kids seem to be over it already, but three of us still have symptoms. God have given me such a great grace in that I haven’t been fearful during the quarantine or during this recent infection. (I know this comes from praying the rosary as a family nightly since the start of the quarantine in March.) The devil is really trying his best to steal my peace as I fight off concern that our symptoms could take a turn for the worse at any time. I have some pre existing health issues that I’m hoping won’t complicate things.

    Please pray for a speedy recovery for all of us. And please also pray that my husband remains healthy.

    Thank you dear MOG friends and prayer warriors!!

    In my church no one uses any hand sanitizer and only saw one person with a mask. We are in southern Alabama.

    The hand sanitizer should be used unless we are allergic to it. The mask as I understand it is helpful in reducing "viral load" if you are exposed. Or to protect others if you are sick. Sadly the left as usual has politicized all of this so many Americans are resisting. The same with Holy Communion. I dont know what to say about that except I'm complying with the Bishop out of respect even if I have to only make a spiritual communion.
