[All this has all been revealed by GOD throughout the entire history of mankind from its CREATION BY GOD up to today as we face the global pandemic, corona virus, which is a chastisement for the sins of mankind that are committed on the global scale. Also, we must not forget that Our Blessed Mother revealed in Her Fatima Messages that the sins of men would bring about the chastisements which are war, plagues, famines, and bad leaders in the church and throughout the world, etc… According to GOD’S JUSTICE and DUE TO the overwhelming SINS of mankind, we face all these.
If we turn to God in repentance, we will face the mercy of GOD at his appointed time; however, if we do not repent and turn back to GOD, it stands to reason that we will most likely lengthen the time and degree of the chastisements. Also, as individuals, we choose the eternal damnation of our souls if we refuse God’s call to repentance.
In God’s mercy, our Queen of Heaven and Earth also revealed that the commanded CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA WILL BE DONE, and HER IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH (though it will be late). The Blessed Virgin Mary has revealed that we must pray the daily Rosary and wear Her Brown Scapular for these times in which we live. She is Mother of GOD and our Mother.][I have excerpted and rearranged the following long article from LIFESITE NEWS.]
Coronavirus is ‘the killer of globalization’ and a ‘scourge’ from God: Roberto de Mattei
God does not only exist; God is concerned for his creatures, and he rewards or chastises rational creatures according each one’s merits or faults. The Catechism of Saint Pius X teaches: “God rewards the good and chastises the wicked because he is infinite justice....”
But history is not a deterministic succession of events. The master of history is God, not the masters of chaos. The killer of globalization is a global virus called the Coronavirus.
Justice, theologians explain, is one of the infinite perfections of God. The infinite mercy of God presupposed his infinite justice.
Among Catholics the concept of justice, like the concept of divine justice, is often removed. And yet the doctrine of the Church teaches the existence of a particular judgment that follows the death of every person, with the immediate reward or punishment of the soul, and of a universal judgment in which all angels and all human beings will be judged for their thoughts, words, actions, and omissions.
The theology of history tells us that God rewards and punishes not only men but also collectivities and social groups: families, nations, civilizations. But while men have their reward or chastisement, sometimes on earth but always in heaven, nations, which do not have an eternal life, are punished or rewarded only on earth.
God is righteous and rewarding and gives to each what is his due: he not only chastises individual persons but he also sends tribulations to families, cities, and nations for the sins which they commit. Earthquakes, famines, epidemics, wars, and revolutions have always been considered as divine chastisements. As Father Pedro de Ribadaneira (1527-1611) writes: “wars and plagues, droughts and famines, fires and all other disastrous calamities are chastisement for the sins of entire populations.”
“But while men have their reward or chastisement, sometimes on earth but always in heaven, nations, which do not have an eternal life, are punished or rewarded only on earth.”
The great sin of our time is the loss of faith by the men of the Church: not of this or that man of the Church but of the men of the Church in their collective whole, with few exceptions, thanks to whom the Church does not lose her visibility. This sin produces blindness of the mind and hardening of the heart: indifference to the violation of the divine order of the universe.
The priests are silent, the bishops are silent, the Pope is silent.
We are approaching Holy Week and Easter. And yet for the first time in many centuries in Italy, the churches are closed, Masses are suspended, and even Saint Peter’s Basilica is closed. The Holy Week and Easter liturgies will not be drawing pilgrims from all over the world. God, also punishes by “subtraction” as Saint Bernardine of Siena says, and today it seems like he has removed the churches, the Mother of all churches from the supreme Pastor, while the Catholic people are groping confused in the dark, deprived of the light of truth that should illuminate the world from Saint Peter’s Basilica. How can we not see in what the Coronavirus is producing a symbolic consequence of the self-destruction of the Church?
The result may be a collapse of the state and of public authority, leading to social anarchy. But whereas this may look desirable to the globalists longing for one world government, De Mattei argues that it will actually foil their plans.
“Someone might observe that this process corresponds to the project of the globalist lobbies, the ‘masters of chaos’ as Professor Renato Cristin defines them in his excellent book,” De Mattei says.
“But if this is true, it is also true that what emerges defeated from this crisis is the utopia of globalization, presented as the great road destined to lead to the unification of the human race,” he continues.
“Globalization actually destroys space and pulverizes distances: today the key to escaping the epidemic is social distance, the isolation of the individual. The quarantine is diametrically opposed to the “open society” hoped for by George Soros. The conception of man as a relationship, typical of a certain school of philosophical personalism, declines.”
In terms of political and social sciences, the scholar explains that the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic may signal the end of globalization. It may cause the collapse of the Italian medical system and of the supply chains that drive the national economy. The central banks will not be able to prevent the resultant financial disaster.
Saint Bernardine of Siena (1380-1444) admonished: There are three scourges with which God chastises: war, plague, and famine. Saint Bernardine belongs to a number of saints like Catherine of Siena, Bridget of Sweden, Vincent Ferrer, Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort, who warned how throughout history natural disasters have always accompanied the infidelities and apostasy of nations. It happened at the end of the Christian Middle Ages, and it seems to be happening today. Saints like Bernardine of Siena did not attribute these events to the work of evil agents but to the sins of men, which are even more grave if they are collective sins and still more grave if tolerated or promoted by the rulers of the peoples and by those who govern the Church.
At Fatima the Blessed Mother has revealed to us the scenario of our time, and she assured us of her triumph. With the humility of those who are aware that they can do nothing by their own strength, but also with the confidence of those who know that everything is possible with the help of God, we do not retreat, and we entrust ourselves to Mary at the tragic hour of the events foretold by the message of Fatima.
