JUST A SUGGESTION... Maybe get a grass roots campaign of the faithful together for a candle light vigil in front of the weak Bishops/priests rectory. no yelling and screaming, a ROSARY crusade....like the Old Testament and Jericho !
This came thru prayer, ALL GLORY TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST !!! im not smart enough to make these connections but thank you
There is an Irish visionary, I won't mention a name in case it causes ruffled feathers; anyway this visionary had said homosexual marriage would be recognised in Ireland. And if I remember correctly also; as in the countries that bring in euthanasia, Ireland would follow down that road too. We do need to continue with the requests of Our Lady to Fast, Pray the Rosary, Regular Confession, Holy Eucharist. Eucharistic Adoration. 5 first Saturdays would be a good start in reparation. And 9 first Fridays. God does not ask us to win the battle; but stay faithful. He has already won the battle. We His servants are watching the events Christ already saw in the Garden of Gethsemane when He took on the sins of humanity from Adam to the last man. That is not to say we resort to despondency or despair, but keep watch and pray, that God may not put us to the test lest we fail... and fail to find the courage to ask for His forgiveness.
The more i sit and think about this the more i am convinced that we are entering into the era of mass apostasy within the Church, i also think the Pope and the Vatican know this and are trying to prepare us for what is coming down the line.This is one of the reasons for the Special jubilee Year of Mercy on the 8th December, there are many people today who will not only will need this Year of Mercy but without it many more souls will be lost. This Pope more than any other Pope has talked openly about the Devil and how the Devil is manipulating human society to its downfall, he has also dropped a few hints to what we can expect in the very near future . In his Nov. 28 2014 homily, he spoke of the present as a period of “general apostasy.” Mighty forces anxious to keep God from being worshipped seek to convince Christians to take a “reasonable and peaceful road” by obeying “worldly powers” bent on reducing religion to “a private matter,” he said. Describing the ensuing persecution of the Church as “a calamity,” the pope said: “It will appear to be the triumph of the prince of this world, the defeat of God. It will seem as though he has taken over the world [and become] master of the world.” As for the persecuted Christians, he added, they are “a prophetic sign of what will happen to everyone.” Pope Francis emphasizes that the persecution of religion he envisages will involve the shedding of blood. In his Nov. 18 homily, he cited the Old Testament Book of Maccabees, which tells of the martyrdom of faithful Jews and cautioned today’s believers against subscribing to an “adolescent progressivism” that encourages the abandonment of faith. “Do you think there are no human sacrifices today?” he asked rhetorically. “There are many, many of them. And there are laws that protect them.” Remember we already know wins this war so we need to pray for all the souls who don't even know that there is a war going on, these poor souls are depending on all our PRAYERS for their very salvation. So let get the big guns out and include these poor souls in our daily Rosary.(Please Don,t Forget The Irish)
Once, quailing in the face of the enormity of the work that lay ahead, St. Patrick was graced with a vision: He saw the whole of Ireland lit up with the brightest rays of Divine Faith. This continued for centuries, and then clouds gathered around the devoted island, and, little by little, the religious glory faded away, until, in the course of centuries, it was only in the remotest valleys that some glimmer of its light remained. Saint Patrick prayed that the light would never be extinguished, and, as he prayed, the angel came to him and said: "Fear not: your apostolate shall never cease." As he thus prayed, the glimmering light grew in brightness, and ceased not until once more all the hills and valleys of Ireland were lit up in their pristine splendor, and then the angel announced to St. Patrick: "Such shall be the abiding splendor of divine truth in Ireland." http://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/the-aftermath
The power of prayer is beautiful. So beautiful. When it is said from a pure heart he or she is serenading to God's heart. The music of Heaven is Love. God bless!
So what is next, will it be hate speech in Ireland for Padraig to have this forum which is anti-homosexual marriage?
So let get the big guns out and include these poor souls in our daily Rosary.(Please Don,t Forget The Irish)[/quote] Eamonn, well said ! The people of the world may forget Ireland, But Catholics the World over will never forget Ireland !!!
As an American, this really hurts me and im sure All Catholic Americans!!! Follow the Money: American Entity Funded Irish Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Campaign VICTOR GAETAN 05/23/2015 Between 2004 and 2014, U.S.-based Atlantic Philanthropies invested more than $17 million to effectively catalyze the homosexual-rights lobby in Ireland. Read more: http://www.ncregister.com/#ixzz3b7DIMUZj WE need to make a daily FORUM prayer against this evil group! or maybe in prayer just add as an intention the AP Groups conversion/fruitless works
Yes but Yes,but who or what is behind these organizations? I feel an increasing sense of unreality as I witness these events. What will the rest of the World think of these events in the West? They will despise us and the Jihadist wolves and others will gather to consume us,confident that we are under God's judgment.
The answer is Yes. The campaign in Ireland was one sided so the result was inevitable. The media, corporate business, the police, and all political parties sided with the Yes campaign. It was David vs Goliath. The lack of democracy was stunning. 27 million Euros was spent in the last few years promoting the Yes side of the debate and effectively we are dealing with propaganda. There was no real debate. The no campaign were Irish citizens. It was was led by some pro-life groups, the Iona Institute and First Families First and of course they were labelled homophobic. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church in Ireland did not put its weight behind the No campaign therefore losing further credibility in my opinion. If you believe in something back up your words irrespective of the cost. With regard to some on the Yes campaign we are dealing with fascists who will not tolerate any opposing view. John Waters of First Families First was absolutely brilliant for the No Campaign. The poor man has been hounded and demonized but that is the way the Yes campaign worked. John Waters has emerged as a hero in my opinion. A hero for truth, a courageous man who stood against the tide and one of the best journalists this island has produced. He makes me proud to be Irish. http://www.independent.ie/irish-new...taking-legal-action-against-rte-30214757.html
I'm in the angry slot at the minute. Very difficult as my husband insist s on listening to all the newscasts gloating over their ,historic stand for equality'. They are now planning to remove protection from unborn child. Guess who was interviewed for his views this morning.bring ,Fr Iggy, God Help Us. I am sickened
I had a Jamaican friend in London known affectionately by all as "blind Charlie." He told me he started each day with a simple prayer, "Have it Your Way." In human affairs law does not exist without sanction. How much more so in affairs of heaven. We see it in the bible. God takes so much then He says "Have it your way" : the tables are turned just as the table of the money changers were turned in the temple. Whenever legislation that opposes God's will is passed this no longer affects only the country that has passed the law. With today's technology it quickly infects the whole world just as any infection courses through the blood, no part of the body can be injured in isolation. How many so called reasonable people have to say "Euthanasia is a good thing, it is a merciful release", "Abortion is a good thing, the poor woman couldn't cope, she was brave to take the decision to abort." "Homosexuality is great, it is just another way to love." "Divorce is good for the children, it spares them the rows." etc etc before God turns away and lets humanity have its own way. With results of votes broadcast across the world millions agree either either aloud or in silence with the ways that oppose the ways of God. Thus billions of human beings attract the vengeance of God as they reject His Holy Spirit. Some say the sin against the Holy Spirit is committed when God's Goodness is accredited to the Devil. This is such a reversal of Truth that no turning back is possible. The gulf is too wide and too deep by the time such a sin is committed. Only God is good and Goodness is a particular attribute of The Holy Spirit. "Receive ye the Holy Spirit -whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven." Only God forgives sins and once the Holy Spirit is taken out of the equation there is no forgiveness. This sin cries out to heaven for vengeance for in this sin salvation is lost and the gift of eternal life rejected. "God made us to know Him, to Love Him and to serve Him in this world so that we may be happy with him forever in heaven." But like the devil and his angels most humans have rejected this plan because it is not made on their own terms. "Vengeance is mine says the Lord." Mercy cannot exist without justice. For the sake of Truth, divine justice demands sanction. The only questions is when and how will this sanction be applied. For some it will already be too late - "depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels." Others will have to endure the Tribulation here on earth and many of them will also end up in hell. "Many are called but few are chosen." That means many will be damned. Far more than will be saved. The time for repentance will have gone. The opportunity lost. Only when we have suffered enough will God intervene and show us His Mercy and His Truth in our souls. Right now I feel the Lord is taking the cord off his waist and getting ready to whip the money changers especially those who have provided money for the type of victory just won in Ireland, those who have paid for the corruption and perversion of family values and true love and those who have gladly accepted their services. They are beyond help. Russia, Communism and ISIS are just waiting for the orders from hell to attack. So many people I speak to feel that the world is on the brink of catastrophic change, even those with no formal Faith. They say things cannot go on they are. I fear they are right but I still believe in my old Jesuit school motto "Ad Majora Natus Sum." I was born to greater things. I hope I am wrong but I do not think we have much time left before Tribulation and The Warning come. We have 5 months for the 5 first Saturdays and the assurance of the graces for final repentance. (I feel a bit uneasy about posting this because it sounds a bit holier than thou and I wonder if it will do any good to the good people who are reading it on this site. I hope I am not just trying to sound clever and knowledgeable but I am tired now after a hard days work so please forgive my shortcomings.)
We are on the threshold of an Orwellian Statist New World Order: Canada legalised same sex marriage in 2005: below is an outline of some of the consequences ----- Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada, it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents. It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checking for hate speech. The plaintiff making the complaint has his legal fees completely paid for by the government. Not so the defendant. Even if the defendant is found innocent, he cannot recover his legal costs. If he is found guilty, he must pay fines to the person(s) who brought forth the complaint. If your beliefs, values, and political opinions are different from the state’s, you risk losing your professional license, job, or business, and even your children. Look no further than the Lev Tahor Sect, an Orthodox Jewish sect. Many members, who had been involved in a bitter custody battle with child protection services, began leaving Chatham, Ontario, for Guatemala in March 2014, to escape prosecution for their religious faith, which conflicted with the Province’s guidelines for religious education. Of the two hundred sect members, only half a dozen families remain in Chatham. Parents can expect state interference when it comes to moral values, parenting, and education—and not just in school. The state has access into your home to supervise you as the parent, to judge your suitability. And if the state doesn’t like what you are teaching your children, the state will attempt to remove them from your home. Teachers cannot make comments in their social networks, write letters to editors, publicly debate, or vote according to their own conscience on their own time. They can be disciplined or lose any chance of tenure. They can be required at a bureaucrat’s whim to take re-education classes or sensitivity training, or be fired for thinking politically incorrect thoughts. When same-sex marriage was created in Canada, gender-neutral language became legally mandated. Newspeak proclaims that it is discriminatory to assume a human being is male or female, or heterosexual. So, to be inclusive, special non-gender-specific language is being used in media, government, workplaces, and especially schools to avoid appearing ignorant, homophobic, or discriminatory. A special curriculum is being used in many schools to teach students how to use proper gender-neutral language. Unbeknownst to many parents, use of gender terms to describe husband and wife, father and mother, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and “he” and “she” is being steadily eradicated in Canadian schools. Which Is More Important: Sexual Autonomy or the First Amendment? Recently, an American professor who was anonymously interviewed for the American Conservative questioned whether sexual autonomy is going to cost you your freedoms: “We are now at the point, he said, at which it is legitimate to ask if sexual autonomy is more important than the First Amendment?” Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian citizens were supposed to have been guaranteed: (1) freedom of conscience and religion; (2) freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (3) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (4) freedom of association. In reality, all of these freedoms have been curtailed with the legalization of same-sex marriage. Wedding planners, rental halls, bed and breakfast owners, florists, photographers, and bakers have already seen their freedoms eroded, conscience rights ignored, and religious freedoms trampled in Canada. But this is not just about the wedding industry. Anybody who owns a business may not legally permit his or her conscience to inform business practices or decisions if those decisions are not in line with the tribunals’ decisions and the government’s sexual orientation and gender identity non-discrimination laws. In the end, this means that the state basically dictates whether and how citizens may express themselves. Freedom to assemble and speak freely about man-woman marriage, family, and sexuality is now restricted. Most faith communities have become “politically correct” to avoid fines and loss of charitable status. Canadian media are restricted by the Canadian Radio, Television, and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which is similar to the FCC. If the media air anything considered discriminatory, broadcasting licenses can be revoked, and “human rights bodies” can charge fines and restrict future airings. An example of legally curtailed speech regarding homosexuality in Canada involves the case of Bill Whatcott, who was arrested for hate speech in April 2014 after distributing pamphlets that were critical of homosexuality. Whether or not you agree with what he says, you should be aghast at this state-sanctioned gagging. Books, DVDs, and other materials can also be confiscated at the Canadian border if the materials are deemed “hateful.” Dawn Stefanowicz. April 24, 2015.
It would be a great honouw and privledge to go to prison for the LordLorHowever Jesus said be asinnocent as doves but clever as a aerpent
