THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT WARNINGS FROM THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY CAN NEVER BE THOUGHT ABOUT ENOUGH IN THIS EVIL AGE IN WHICH WE LIVE.
SOMEONE HAS GIVEN A THUMBS DOWN TWICE TO THIS REPLY IN OTHER POSTS and which is REPEATED HERE AGAIN, AND I AM SO AWARE OF THE REASONS FOR THIS;
at CATH INFO we have so many good Catholics but we also have these: shills, AA-1025 TYPES, INFILTRATORS as BELLA DODD WARNED US ABOUT, DUPED ONES, ETC.
PRAISE, HONOR, GLORY and THANKS TO JESUS CHRIST and HIS and OUR MOTHER FOR THEIR GRACIOUS WARNINGS TO US AS FOLLOWS:
Our Lady of La Salette on the 19th of September
(1846) appeared to two youth, Melanie and
Maximum on a Mountain in La Salette,
France. Her words, spoken through Her
tears to them, are chilling and include many
admonitions that may give an answer.
If my people do not wish to submit
themselves, I am forced to let go off
the hand of My Son. It is so heavy and
weighs Me down so much I can no
longer keep hold of it.
I have suffered all the time for the
rest of you! If I do not wish My Son
to abandon you, I must take it upon
Myself to pray for this continually. And
the rest of you think little of this. In
vain you will pray, in vain you will act,
you will never be able to make up to
the troubles I have taken over for the
rest of you.
Our Lady then went on to explain that the
reason for Her continual prayers results,
in part, from failure to honor the Lord's
Day (Sunday) which is against the Third
Commandment of God; and for those taking
the name of God in vain, against God's
Second Commandment. Then Our Lady
continued with a greater concern:
The priest, ministers of My Son, the
priests, by their wicked lives, by their
irreverence and their impiety in the
celebration of the holy mysteries,
by their love of money, their love of
honors and pleasures, the priests
have become cesspools of impurity.
Yes, the priests are asking vengeance
and vengeance is hanging over their
heads. Woe to the priests and to
those dedicated to God who by their
unfaithfulness and their wicked lives
are crucifying My Son again!
God will strike in an
unprecedented way. Woe to the
inhabitants of earth! God will exhaust
His wrath upon them, and no one will
be able to escape so many afflictions
together.
The chiefs, the leaders of the
people of God have neglected prayer
and penance, and the devil has
bedimmed their intelligence. They
have become wandering stars which
the old devil will drag along with
his tail to make them perish. God
will allow the old serpent to cause
divisions among those who reign
in every society and in every family.
Physical and moral agonies will be
suffered.
Italy will be punished for her
ambition in wanting to shake off the
yoke of the Lord of Lords ... Churches
will be locked up or desecrated .•• Woe
to the Princes of the Church who think
only of piling riches upon riches to
protect their authority and dominate
with pride.
The civil governments will have
one and the same plan, which will be
to abolish and do away with every
religious principal, to make way for
materialism, atheism, spiritualism, and
vice of all kinds.
Well, you got a thumbs-up from
me. This is so accurate that it reads like something written after the fact (and I am
not suggesting this is the case).
The part about the priests needs to be put up on those big digital billboards --- but first of all, the bishops would throw a fit (is this something we need to care about?) and the Jack Chick-reading fundamentalists would have a field day with it (ditto).
And as far as CV being part of this chastisement... an infinitesimally small portion of the world population has gotten sick, an even smaller portion has died, people are losing their jobs (some temporarily, some possibly permanently), and some people are going stir-crazy at home. The sick and dead part, that speaks for itself. Jobs --- carry-out restaurants, Walmart, and grocery stores are hiring, hey, it's honest work, it's better than nothing, and many people are over-extended anyway (bought more house than they need and can afford, in slavery to the mortgage and consumer debt monster, accustomed to a lifestyle that nobody needs in order to live and to flourish). Cabin fever? Hmmm... Rosary, reading the Bible and traditional Catholic books, educating oneself online even on worthwhile secular topics, gardening, home improvement, cooking and baking, exercise in the yard and one's neighborhood... the list goes on.
I will concede that being an old retired guy, who's a homebody to begin with, makes it easy for me to sit back on my high horse and spout off about what other people should be doing. But if lack of work and inability to go out and about are hard to bear... penance, offering one's sufferings, accepting it as temporal punishment, that's just Catholicism 101.
