The Hour of My Great Sorrow....

"You Shall Not Kill." [Exodus, 20:13]

"It is the hour of my great sorrow for humanity, so ill and so reduced to slavery by the spirits of evil.
The diabolical powers are ruling the earth and producing everywhere the wicked fruits of their dark reign. And thus this humanity has again become pagan, after almost two thousand years of its redemption and of the first announcement of the Gospel of salvation.
Faithlessness and impiety again cover it; sins wound it; evil poisons it; pride rules it; impurity seduces it; egoism and hatred enchain it; Satan reduces it more and more to slavery and reigns over you with his diabolical power.
This is the hour of my great sorrow for all this poor humanity, under the control of the spirits of evil, because the hour of its great chastisement has now come..."

The Hour of Calvary

Let us pray for our fellow Catholics--these holy martyrs--both priests and faithful who were murdered during Holy Mass on October 31, 2010 in Iraq...and let us remember, that terrorism (anti-christ) will be consumed by the Holy Fire of Christ Himself!


Rome May 1, 1994

"The hour of Calvary has now arrived...

The hour of Calvary has arrived for the Church, called to offer herself in holocaust and to be immolated on the cross of her bloody martyrdom.
The hour of Calvary has arrived for this poor humanity, which is already beginning to live the painful hours of its chastisement.
The hour of Calvary has arrived for you, my beloved ones, because you have now entered into the conclusive time of the great tribulation. As Mother, I am leading you each day to the fulfillment of your priestly immolation..."

Prayer for Courage

Dear God give me courage for, perhaps, I lack it more than anything else.
I need courage before men against their threats and their seductions.
I need courage to bear unkindness, mockery, contradiction;
I need courage to fight against the devil, against terrors, troubles,
temptations, attractions, darkness and false lights;
against tears, depression and, above all, fear.
I need Thy help, dear God.
Strengthen me with Thy love and Thy grace.
Console me with Thy blessed presence and grant me the courage to persevere--
until I am with Thee forever in heaven....Amen.

By your Holy and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, deliver us from Evil!

Instruments of My Mercy...

Anniversary of the fourth apparition at Fatima [August 13, 1982]

"Beloved children, I am turning my merciful eyes upon you. I am the Mother of Mercy, of Fair Love and of Holy Hope, and my Immaculate Heart trembles with preoccupation for you. How many dangers are menacing you; how many snares my Adversary is setting for you!
In this hour of his rule and his triumph, numerous indeed are my children who are exposed to the danger of being eternally lost.
You see in what a grave situation you find yourselves today: humanity has rebelled against the God of love and is walking along the road of hatred and of sin, which is put forward as something good through the means of social communications.
You are living in a corrupted and unhealthy atmosphere, and you succeed with great difficulty in remaining faithful to the commandments of God, which lead you to walk along the road of love, flee sin and live in grace and holiness.
Thus each day the number of my poor children who allow themselves to be seduced by unbridled egoism, envy and impurity grows greater and greater. The easiest victims, and those who are less guilty, are the young people whose unhappy lot it is to be living at this time when the world has become worse than at the time of the flood.
That is why I feel that I am a gentle and merciful Mother especially to my young children, and I am sowing in their lives words of confidence and salvation. I am opening up their souls for a greater thirst for good; I am opening up their hearts to the joyous experience of true love and self-giving; I am healing their numerous wounds, while I encourage all those who are good to come to their help through prayer, good example and penance.
If you, my beloved children, suffer and pray with me, you will succeed in leading many souls each day along the road which leads to paradise. You then, O children consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, must be today the instruments of my maternal mercy.
'How many souls go to hell because there is no one to pray and sacrifice for them!,' I said to Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia when I appeared to them at Fatima.
Today I say: how many souls you can save from the fire of hell and lead to paradise if, together with me, you pray and sacrifice each day for them!...It is above all in this, my merciful work of salvation and yours, that the triumph of my Heart is being brought about."

Meditation: "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek. For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live." Romans, 1:16-17
Prayer: Lord, save us from false hopes and deceptive remedies. Only in the paths You point out for us can we find wholeness and salvation.

I Reveal My Secret...

Mexico City, Mexico [October 13, 1990]

Anniversary of the last apparition at Fatima

"Today you are recalling my final apparition, which took place in Fatima, on this very day in 1917, and which was confirmed by the miracle of the sun.
Today I announce to you that there is about to be born the new Church of light, which my Son Jesus is forming for Himself in every part of the earth, so that it will be ready to receive Him, with faith and with joy, in the proximate moment of His second coming.
The glorious reign of Christ, which will be established in your midst, with the second coming of Jesus in the world, is close at hand. This is His return to glory. This is His glorious return, to establish His reign in your midst and to bring all humanity, redeemed by His most Precious Blood, back to the state of His new terrestrial paradise.
That which is being prepared is so great that its equal has never existed since the creation of the world. Prepare yourselves with humility, with faith, with intense prayer. Prepare yourselves by gathering together, each and all, in the spiritual cenacle of my Immaculate Heart. Prepare yourselves in silence and in expectation.
I reveal my secret only to the hearts of the little, the simple and the poor, because it is being accepted and believed by them. For this, Jesus is working powerfully in these times, to prepare His coming in the lives of the simple, the poor, the pure, the little.
With a small number of these children, the Lord will soon restore on earth His glorious reign of love, of holiness and of peace."

"Fire Will Fall From Heaven" by Sis. Agnes Sasagawa

Messages from the Holy Mother of God in our time {1973-81}...

Your labor is not in vain...1Cor. 15:58b

All persons, not just Catholics, can know from the scientific and medical evidence that what grows in a mother's womb is a new, distinct human being. All persons can understand that each human being--without discrimination--merits respect. At the very least, respecting human life excludes the deliberate and direct destruction of life--and that is exactly what abortion is.
Catholics are also pro-life because our Christian tradition is pro-life. As Pope John Paul II said, Christians believe that "all human life is sacred, for it is created in the image and likeness of God." Aborting an unborn child destroys a unique creation which God has called specially into existence.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith in it's Declaration on Procured Abortion [1974; paragraphs 11-12] states:
"The first right of the human person is his life...It does not belong to society, nor does it belong to public authority in any form to recognize this right for some and not for others; all discrimination is evil...
"Any discrimination based on the various stages of life is no more justified than any other discrimination...In reality, respect for human life is called for from the time that the process of generation begins. From the time that the ovum is fertilized, a life is begun which is neither that of the father nor of the mother; it is rather the life of a new human being with his own growth" --and dignity.
Since its beginnings, Christianity has maintained a firm and clear teaching on the sacredness of human life. Abortion was rejected in the earliest known Christian manual of discipline, the Didache.
Early Church fathers likewise condemned abortion as the killing of innocent human life. A third century Father of the Church, Tertullian, called it "accelerated homicide." Early Church councils considered it one of the most serious crimes. Even during periods when Aristotle's theory of "delayed ensoulment" led Church law to assign different penalties to earlier and later abortions, abortion at any stage was still considered a grave evil.
When biologists in the 19th century learned more about the process of conception, the Church altered its legal distinction between early and late abortions out of respect for reason and biology.
Since that time, science has only further confirmed the humanity of the child growing in the womb. Official Church teaching insists, to the present day, that a just society protects life before as well as after birth.
--National Conference of Catholic Bishops/Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities

"You shall not murder a child by abortion, nor kill it after birth."
Letter of St. Barnabas, 2nd century AD.

Prayer: Lord, bless all those who will march this year for life, and the many more who labor for life in their own communities every day.
