The whole 3 days of darkness things is twice as scary in a house where pretty much every room has window coverings that do not completely do their job.

Curtains are expensive, and good curtains that are actually big enough, are even more expensive. :faint:

We had to get all new curtains for our house -- the previous owners didn't know what energy-efficient curtains even were!

We got some of ours from Linens & Things when they closed (real good discount on some of those!), some others 20% off at Linens & Things while they were still in business. Then we got some at Bed Bath & Beyond on clearance and/or with a 20% off coupon.

The ones in my office are thick like a comforter, they completely cover the windows and they go all the way down to 1 inch from the floor. If you pry them open you can feel the cold air they're protecting you from!

They are certainly expensive if you pay full price for them.

We have a number of windows uncovered, which causes intermittent pangs of anxiety. There are some protected areas, that is if we all went there at once. :shocked: I can just imagine somebody disobeying, dragging their feet, going back for a pet.

There are no curtains at my house. I guess we will have to buy some one of these days.

I have been wondering for some time what will happen to my cat during the event. I have forgotten what someone is supposed to do in order to protect their pet during the three days of darkness. Perhaps we could let it in and put it in an un-used part of the house if we have to, though that may not work. She's a little hyper...

The book of Wisdom says that during the fiery hale that fell on Egypt, before the Exodus of the Israelites, that the animals that were in the midst of the storm were left unharmed, but most especially those animals that afflicted the Egyptians in the plagues. The animals that belonged to the Egyptians that didnt have enough protection were destroyed. For some I dont think any shelter helped much since houses and buildings were destroyed in the hale-storm.

I would most definitely make use of some sacramentals on my animals before the 3DD. I dont know if I would bring them into the house or not. They would have to be fed if I wasnt able to put out enough food for them. But since Im not going to be able to feed them for 3 days, the angels had better go out there and feed them for me!

Though I know God will preserve all forms of life, I worry about all of the beautiful (and tasty) plant varieties and animal breeds that we may lose when those days come. Monsanto and the industrial farm have already done enough damage to the genetic diversity of the market's gene-pool. Monsanto is definitely going to be incinerated with all of it's "fruits".

I have blinds,but several windows in new house still not curtained.
Some say bring in pets-cats,dogs,etc....would do like C-S states on any farm animals......

I have a closet that is in middle of upstairs, rather dark-have a kneeler in there, some rosaries and other objects, plus my first class relic of St. Andrew.....is dark enough to hide...might want to invest in a new set of ear phones.....

Wow, that is amazing that you have a first class relic of St. Andrew.

I read something else very interesting about the Three Days of Darnkess yesterday. Apparently, no one will be able to sleep while it is happening. I guess that's not all that surprising, though considering the average person would practically be passed out after about a day without sleep, I would imagine God will make it to where no one feels tired until it is all over.

In such a situation where your survival hangs in the balance, I think your body is going to be well inebriated with enough adrenaline to keep you awake for a long time. There might be a few people who will be able to get a little bit of sleep, but in a life and death situation like that I am going to be wide awake and alert. And considering the various frightening noises you will be hearing coming from outside, your going to be speculating what they are.

Hope my hair doesn't turn gray. I wanna earn gray hair, not get it free!

We can only rely on our Guardian Angels to somehow alert us to be at home and ready to roll right into our little holy spot.

The gutteral sounds of demons and then the demons disguised as children begging for help :scared2: that would keep you awake.

Never would obedience be so important, animals included.

Here is something I received via e-mail from "The Apostolic See" (some kook -- I think Pope Augustine?) Anyhow, it has some interesting points, even if "the messenger" isn't normally a worthy source.

There has been much said about December 21, 2012. Today we present another interesting corollary, to fulfill perhaps to the full the potential mystery in this prophecy. For it is written:

“But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

December 21, 2012 is Winter Solstice. December 22, 2012 is the Jєωιѕн Sabbath. In some years Winter Solstice actually occurs on December 22, rather than the 21st. Finally, December 23, 2012 is the Christian Sabbath.

The three days of darkness and the judgment of God then? Do the brethren see how it all seems to come together- the alignment of the sun with the dark rift on December 21, 2012- and this prophecy from Holy Scripture, or is it merely a coincidence? Is it further a coincidence that winter and the Sabbaths combine to form THREE DAYS? (THE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS PREDICTED BY THE SAINTS?)

Therefore brethren take heed that your flight be on these days- "Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath,for then [in these days] there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will". (Matthew 24:20-21) There will be no such tribulation ever, such as will occur in those three days of darkness."

Our Lord further declares that those days are cut short for the sake of the elect of God. Short from what? Why, from Christmas day! As it is written:

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter [Dec 21, 2012], neither on a sabbath day [Dec 22-23, 2012]: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

"except those days should be shortened" there should not a single human survive. Christmas day is the true symbol of new birth and new life. Christmas day is the symbol of light coming into a dark and sinful world. It is upon this day that the three days of darkness should actually end, since Christ Himself is the light. But, due to God's mercy, Christ will cut the tribulation short. The shortening is from Christmas day to Christmas Eve.

Brethren, if Christ were to deal the full brunt of His great wrath, then the beginning of the judgment would be on the cold Winter Solstice Day predicted by the saints until Christmas day itself. Yves Dupont states clearly that the saints predict that the three days of darkness will begin on a cold Winter (i.e. Winter Solstice). But if God were to allow His wrath to remain long upon the earth, not a single man would be saved. If God allowed His tribulation to last until Christmas day, the actual symbol of Christ's light coming to the world, then all men would already be slaughtered. This result would be just, but it would not result in the proclamation of God's mercy.

Therefore, for the elect's sake, Christ will shorten it by one day. So that instead of four days of darkness, it will be only three days of darkness. These days will end on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. This way, a few men will survive the judgment. The new birth of a holier world united under the Monarchies and Governments formally allegiant to Christ would then begin early.

Thus, the Church calls upon all men to prepare themselves for the Great Tribulation- which if these calculations are correct, will be occurring in just under two years. If these calculations are not correct, then it must be construed as an intriguing coincidence that there are so many alignments in this three day period.

Thanks for that. Prophecy of future events is part of God's Mercy.

It is now Feb 2011...you can take it to the (non-Fed-Reserve) bank that things will be hairier than most can fathom between now and Dec 2012. Hold fast...

Love and godspeed to all...
