We are rapidly moving towards Illuminati/Satanic One World Religion with associated Satanic , 'Signs and Wonders'
Yes so true. But what is even scarier is the fact that the evil one is snatching many good Catholics as well at the moment, as they are mesmerised by teachings that tell them they are divine and don't need the Churches sacraments! By good Catholics I mean Catholics that in the recent past believed in the Sacred Traditions of the Holy Catholic Church and realised the need for the sacraments of the Church. No wonder the Bride of Christ (Our Lords Church) was established by Our Lord and is so important to Our Lord! The Church will be the only opponent with the power to withstand the onslaught of the one world religion. As all cult followers who believe that they are somehow divine or live in a divine power (which is a new age belief), from outside and inside the church will blindly adapt to the Illuminati/Satanic One World Religion because they will no longer be grounded in the truth!. The devil will tell a 1000 truths to subtly sneak in a lie, because he first dresses it up to look plausible! The devil said to Adam and Eve 'God knows that if you eat of this tree, you will be like God'. In other words, You will be Divine! Oh how many Catholics now believe this very subtle lie of the Devil! Divine Mercy of Jesus I trust in Thee. Mary Help of Christians you are our refuge and our Hope. Do not leave us to our own devices Dearest Mother, but keep all Catholics within the protective arms of Our Lords Holy Church. Amen.
I think we're already at the one world religion, what else is the Relativism and global community movement other than a way of equating us in the world as opposed to in Christ? I remember in Kindergarten in the public school system of Virginia in the 90s being forced to stand with the class and sing "we are the world" at graduation, I told my teacher afterwards that I'd lip-synched the words and she was furious.
I wonder if one of the ways we might fight against this is to have Renewal, as Vatican 2 advised and return to our true Catholic Traditional roots. If you look, say at the Eastern RIte Catholics they are clearly themselves. Apart. In the West in the Church however we are from the outside not much different from ,say a thousand Protestant sects. Or even a New Age Tmeple in our CHurches. I saw an old video of Mother Angelica when she started out preaching and she was wearing a kind of modern cut back habit. However as Mother moved on she returned to her roots.She wore a very traditional habit that went back hundreds of years. She was apart. I hate fro instance a religious not to be wearing a habit and whent hey are wearing one I like to see a Traditional one. Also if I walk into a Catholic Church I want to know it is a Catholic Church. As for us Catholic laypeople , it is the little things, like fasting on Firdays and before the great feasts, a return to ancient liturigical practises and living lives that point to us ebing set part and distanced from secular society. I admire our mslim and Eatern Orthodox sisters and brothers for instance for doing this. Eventually we will blend in so much we will become one wih these people and frankly our Western Societies are going to hell in a basket.
Here, for instance is, Mother Anglelica in full rig out. Here she is in the modern post Vatican 2 style, I know which I prefer and which points more directly to God.
One time after Vatican 2 some of the friars played a joke on Padre Pio and told him directions had come from Rome that they were no longer to wear the Franciscan habit. However the old saint burst into tears and it took them ages to comfort him by saying that they were only joking. This huge modern urge to be like everyone else is crazy. The very last thing we need to be in this place and time is to be like the rest of them.
Here is the inside of a modern Catholic Church. Rather like a shopping mall centre. Here is the ancient format. Which is best? Which is more prayerful?
Amen! We're closest to other people when we're most ourselves and that requires a search of self which is solely in Him through the aid of Our Lady. Everything modern seems to have in mind the destruction of microcosms...family, nations, personal boundaries...maybe part of the point is to destroy the need for bridge builders? The monarchies are gone; now the demons rage after the (F)family and the Papacy. I love the picture of Mother Angelica with the cat! I often imagine Benedict XVI with his cats and it makes me smile.
I love the pic with the cat too, can't resist a cat. I'm interested in what you said there about modernity and the destruction of microcosms, and the destruction of the need for bridge builders. Do you know of any resources where I could read more about such a theory? I'm doing research for my thesis at the moment and it sounds like something that would be worth looking into. Thanks!
http://www.fathermike.info/Popes_on_Pets.html Pope St John Paul's Dream About a Cat. "The night before my departure from Canada to New York, which I had never seen, I had a strange dream." But his dream was not of beautiful forests, warm with the summer sun. It was of a crowded city, frigid with the cold of a northern winter. And although he had never been there, his dream captured the way Manhattan looks and feels after a major snowstorm. "It was a terribly severe winter in New York; the city was completely covered with snow. Inhabitants were well off and warmly dressed and walking slowly along roads because cars, due to mountains of snow, could not be operated. I was happy that I could walk on top of the snow on avenues of white. "All my physical effort was spent on walking. To this day, pictures of huge apartment houses on both sides of the avenue are instilled in my mind and the doormen quickly closing and opening entrance doors as though trying to prevent humanity and warmth from escaping. "On top of the snow, I noticed a brown cat emerge from a side street and walk on the snow. I looked closer and, to my surprise, saw that this big cat was being followed by six small brown-and-white kittens, all of them following the big brown cat in a perfect line. The mother cat looked back from time to time to see if her babies were there, but her main concern was to reach the entrance door. I presumed she was trying to find warmth for herself and her children, but as soon as she reached the door, a man in a well-pressed uniform jumped at her with a broom and chased them away. I followed this procession and prepared to deliver a speech to the doorman. I opened my mouth and tried to complain, ‘Where is your proverbial American generosity? Where is your American good heart and fair play? Let them in. Let them in!!’ "I tried to speak, but the words would not come out. Maybe I was afraid of the doorman with the broom. I started searching my cassock pockets for a piece of bread, found some crumbs, and put them on my palms, calling, ‘Kitty, kitty, kitty.’ But the words would not come from my supposedly intelligent mouth. Instead, the wind blew the crumbs from my palm, and I said, ‘What can I do? I can’’t speak to the cats. I can’t speak to the doorman. But there are many hungry birds. They might pick up the crumbs.’ "Again, I walked after the cats, now with a pain in my chest, feeling tremendous cold. On the left, I saw a church building and thought, ‘There we will find help.’ I heard singing, and again, the idea occurred to me that it must be a Catholic church. The music grew louder, as though trying to convince God that they were praying to Him. "The mother cat jumped in front of me and climbed the stairs, followed by her kittens. I raised my head and saw a tall Jesuit priest chasing the cats off the steps. But as I was about to shout at the Jesuit, ‘I am a cardinal!’ and give an order to accept the cats, the mother cat and her offspring ran behind the church because from there came the appetizing aroma of food. Probably there was a kitchen there. But a second Jesuit appeared at the kitchen door and scared the cats away. They returned to the avenue and started walking north. "They walked on the same side of the avenue as the Jesuit church and I followed. Then they reached an imposing red brick church. An Anglican bishop appeared and said to the cats, ‘My dear animal children, please go immediately to the animal shelter. There is food for you there. We Anglican clergy donate lots of money to the animal shelter every year at Christmastime.’ "The mother cat and her kittens didn’t even meow. They knew the authoritative voice of the Anglican bishop. They walked uptown and gradually the luxurious buildings disappeared, together with the doormen, and we saw drab dilapidated apartments. "As they walked and the buildings grew shabbier and dirty, a door was opened, not by a doorman but by an old wrinkled woman in a cotton dress. [She saw the cats] and shouted, ‘Oh, little mother,’ and when she opened her mouth, I saw she had few teeth. She gently ushered the mother cat and kittens inside, who jumped happily about because the warmth of the house embraced them." The narrative ended as the cats found a safe haven with the woman who had little enough, herself. When the Pope concluded his dream, the author to whom he related it did not make any comment on what had been said. But he did write that "I had never seen such a sad expression on the face of this man." Considering that this was the same man who had related the horrors of his young manhood under Nazi occupation, the author’s remark shows the deep impact this dream had on the Pope. If the Pontiff offered a commentary on his dream, Anton Gronowicz does not share it with the reader. But we are told that John Paul began to recite the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love ..., where there is darkness, light, and where there is sadness, joy. Many years after Cardinal Wojtyla had his dream and had become Pope John Paul II, he made a pilgrimage to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis. In the Message of Reconciliation he delivered there, the Pontiff spoke of the Saint’s love for animal, as well as human, beings. And he likened that inclusive love to an anticipation of the Peaceable Kingdom, envisioned by the Prophet Isaiah, a world in which all God’s creatures will live in peace with each other. The Pope also said that the "solicitous care, not only toward [people] but also toward animals and nature in general," that St. Francis demonstrated is "a faithful echo of the love with which God in the beginning pronounced his ‘fiat,’ which brought them into existence." And, the Pope added, "[W]e, too, are called to a similar attitude."
I give to God the Love of all creatures and all created things. All creatures both great and small reflect a piece of the Glory of God! Like the beautiful sounds of a symphony, the resonance of the tiny triangle heard only as a minor tone, has its part to play in the breathtaking whole of the concerto! and its as needed as all the other instruments to complete and compliment the magnificence of the musical masterpiece!
A New Heaven and a New Earth .Revelation 21:1 1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.…
We await here in this valley of tears! Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail, Our life, Our sweetness and Our hope. To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus! O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, Oh Holy Mother of God that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
Padraig, I can't remember which thread you posted the little video of Kathleen Kilbane, the little Saint of Achill. I ordered the book and just finished reading it, what a sad tale, and much pain and sorrow that poor little girl endured. I plan on meeting her someday in heaven and she will get a big hug from me. I also have lots of songs to teach her . I'm sure she has a great time now playing with the child Jesus. Thank you for sharing that, I'm sure Kathleen is thanking you for it. JMJ
It was a very sad story, but very sweet too. A glimpse into other holyLives in other times and places. I was impressed and touched by the Brother who wrote it too. It reminded me how short life is. We only have so much time to gather our flowers, then back home. I wish I could have given her a big hug.
A friend just sent me this youtube....can't vouch for all the implications (and esp. do not favor always linking Pope Francis with the infiltration of the Vatican....esp. since he's been so courageous trying to expose the filth) but it seems to fit the topic here generally and what is occurring in our world today:
Yes I 've heard of Pike. it's so difficult really. What to beleive and what not to believe about these secert groupings. About Satanists generally I hve no doubt. But trying to tie down exact evidence ofthte illuminati and their proceedings. By their very natre they are very secretive by their very nature. But I heard one story that sruck me. it concerned an English lady form a noble welthy family from England , living in Medugorje. She said that her father had been a Mason / Stanistat at a very high level and that herfather had abused her and used to bring his firends round to abuse her from a very early age. she said that in Masonary even Masons don;t know what is going on til they are made 33rd degree and then they are clued in. This , it seems to me to be ture. But if you asked me for hard evidence I would struggle. But yes I believe Pike , I believe these groups exist and effectively control the world. We believe ourselves to be free but in many respects this is not true. It is these people who are control. By the way this does not depress me. The world has always been in the power of Satan. We find freedom in God. It's just the way it is. But people talk of Freedom too easily, with no idea at all of what is going on. Much of what we think of as Freedom is totally illusory.
Adoremus, There is a huge chasm separating the NWO culture from that of Catholicism. The first embraces uniformity/selfishness while the Church embraces unity/love. The Church is a reflection of the Triune God while the NWO subscribes only to conformity. Think of 1Cor 12: 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. MOG forum is an example of this unity. We come from different hemispheres, countries, and cultures; we serve the Church in various capacities and apostolates; but, Our Lady and the Holy Spirit bind us together here in love and faith. May each of us strive to keep it so. Sometimes a thread needs to be shut down or a member is asked to leave, but I dare say that happens only when selfish inflexibility and pride have replaced love and care. Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
The strange thing Terry is that the Modern West prizes individuallity about community, yet as you point out this seems to result in us being more the same than ever, political correctness for instance. The saints were the true individualists.
