The 93rd Sixth Fatima Apparition of October 13, 1917

During the night of 12-13 October it had rained throughout, soaking the ground and the pilgrims who make their way to Fátima from all directions by the thousands. By foot, by cart and even by car they came, entering the bowl of the Cova from the Fátima-Leiria road, which today still passes in front of the large square of the Basilica. From there they made their way down the gently slope to the place where a trestle had been erected over the little holm oak of the apparitions. Today on the site is the modern glass and steel Capelhina (little chapel), enclosing the first chapel built there and the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima where the holm oak had stood.

As for the children, they made their way to the Cova amid the adulation and skepticism which had followed them since May. When they arrived they found critics who questioned their veracity and the punctuality of the Lady, who had promised to arrive at noon. It was well passed noon by the official time of the country. However, when the sun arrived at its zenith the Lady appeared as she had said she would.

    "What do you want of me?"

    I want a chapel built here in my honor. I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day. The war will end soon, and the soldiers will return to their homes.

    "Yes. Yes."

    "Will you tell me your name?"

    I am the Lady of the Rosary.

    "I have many petitions from many people. Will you grant them? "

    Some I shall grant, and others I must deny. People must amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend our Lord any more, for He is already too much offended!

    "And is that all you have to ask?"

    There is nothing more.

As the Lady of the Rosary rises toward the east she turns the palms of her hands toward the dark sky. While the rain had stopped, dark clouds continued to obscure the sun, which suddenly bursts through them and is seen to be a soft spinning disk of silver.

    "Look at the sun!"

From this point two distinct apparitions were seen, that of the phenomenon of the sun seen by the 70,000 or so spectators and that beheld by the children alone. Lucia describes the latter in her memoirs.

After our Lady had disappeared into the immense distance of the firmament, we beheld St. Joseph with the Child Jesus and Our Lady robed in white with a blue mantle, beside the sun. St. Joseph and the Child Jesus seemed to bless the world, for they traced the Sign of the Cross with their hands. When, a little later, this apparition disappeared, I saw Our Lord and Our lady; it seemed to me to that it was Our Lady of Sorrows (Dolors). Our Lord appeared to bless the world in the same manner as St. Joseph had done. This apparition also vanished, and I saw Our Lady once more, this time  resembling Our Lady of Carmel. [Only Lucia would see the later, presaging her entrance into Carmel some years later.]

This would be the last of the apparitions of Fátima for Jacinta and Francisco. However, for Lucia Our Lady would return a seventh time, in 1920, as she had promised the previous May. At that time Lucia would be praying in the Cova before leaving Fátima for a girls boarding school. The Lady would come to urge her to dedicate herself wholly to God.

As the children viewed the various apparitions of Jesus, Mary and Joseph the crowd witnessed a different prodigy, the now famous miracle of the sun. Among the witnesses there were the following:

    O Seculo (a pro-government, anti-clerical, Lisbon paper):

    From the road, where the vehicles were parked and where hundreds of people who had not dared to brave the mud were congregated, one could see the immense multitude turn toward the sun, which appeared free from clouds and in its zenith. It looked like a plaque of dull silver, and it was possible to look at it without the least discomfort. It might have been an eclipse which was taking place. But at that moment a great shout went up, and one could hear the spectators nearest at hand shouting: "A miracle! A miracle!

    Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bareheaded, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws---the sun "danced" according to the typical expression of the people.

    Standing at the step of an omnibus was an old man. With his face turned to the sun, he recited the Credo in a loud voice. I asked who he was and was told Senhor Joao da Cunha Vasconcelos. I saw him afterwards going up to those around him who still had their hats on, and vehemently imploring them to uncover before such an extraordinary demonstration of the existence of God.

    Identical scenes were repeated elsewhere, and in one place a woman cried out: "How terrible! There are even men who do not uncover before such a stupendous miracle!"

    People then began to ask each other what they had seen. The great majority admitted to having seen the trembling and the dancing of the sun; others affirmed that they saw the face of the Blessed Virgin; others, again, swore that the sun whirled on itself like a giant Catherine wheel and that it lowered itself to the earth as if to burn it in its rays. Some said they saw it change colors successively....

    O Dia (another Lisbon daily, edition of 17 October 1917):

    "At one o'clock in the afternoon, midday by the sun, the rain stopped. The sky, pearly grey in colour, illuminated the vast arid landscape with a strange light. The sun had a transparent gauzy veil so that the eyes could easily be fixed upon it. The grey mother-of-pearl tone turned into a sheet of silver which broke up as the clouds were torn apart and the silver sun, enveloped in the same gauzy grey light, was seen to whirl and turn in the circle of broken clouds. A cry went up from every mouth and people fell on their knees on the muddy ground....

    The light turned a beautiful blue, as if it had come through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, and spread itself over the people who knelt with outstretched hands. The blue faded slowly, and then the light seemed to pass through yellow glass. Yellow stains fell against white handkerchiefs, against the dark skirts of the women. They were repeated on the trees, on the stones and on the serra. People wept and prayed with uncovered heads, in the presence of a miracle they had awaited. The seconds seemed like hours, so vivid were they.

    Ti Marto (father of Jacinta and Francisco)

    We looked easily at the sun, which for some reason did not blind us. It seemed to flicker on and off, first one way, then another. It cast its rays in many directions and painted everything in different colors--- the trees, the people, the air and the ground. But what was most extraordinary, I thought, was that the sun did not hurt our eyes. Everything was still and quiet, and everyone was looking up. Then at a certain moment, the sun appeared to stop spinning. It then began to move and to dance in the sky until it seemed to detach itself from its place and fall upon us. It was a terrible moment.

    Maria de Capelinha  (one of the earliest believers):

    The sun turned everything to different colours---yellow, blue and white. Then it shook and trembled. It looked like a wheel of fire that was going to fall on the people. They began to cry out, "We shall all be killed!" Others called to our Lady to save them. They recited acts of contrition. One woman began to confess her sins aloud, advertising that she had done this and that.... When at last the sun stopped leaping and moving, we all breathed our relief. We were still alive, and the miracle which the children had foretold, had been seen by everyone.

    I was looking at the place of the apparitions, in a serene, if cold, expectation of something happening, and with diminishing curiosity, because a long time had passed without anything to excite my attention. Then I heard a shout from thousands of voices and saw the multitude suddenly turn its back and shoulders away from the point toward which up to now it had directed its attention, and turn to look at the sky on the opposite side.

    It must have been nearly two o'clock by the legal time, and about midday by the sun. The sun, a few moments before, had broken through the thick layer of clouds which hid it, and shone clearly and intensely. I veered to the magnet which seemed to be drawing all eyes, and saw it as a disc with a clean-cut rim, luminous and shining, but which did not hurt the eyes. I do not agree with the comparison which I have heard made in Fatima---that of a dull silver disc. It was a clearer, richer, brighter colour, having something of the luster of a pearl. It did not in the least resemble the moon on a clear night because one saw it and felt it to be a living body. It was not spheric like the moon, nor did it have the same colour, tone, or shading. It looked like a glazed wheel made of mother-of-pearl. It could not be confused, either, with the sun seen through fog (for there was no fog at the time), because it was not opaque, diffused or veiled. In Fatima it gave light and heat and appeared clear-cut with a well-defined rim.

    The sky was mottled with light cirrus clouds with the blue coming through here and there, but sometimes the sun stood out in patches of clear sky. The clouds passed from west to east and did not obscure the light of the sun, giving the impression of passing behind it, though sometimes these flecks of white took on tones of pink or diaphanous blue as they passed before the sun.

    It was a remarkable fact that one could fix one's eyes on this brazier of heat and light without any pain in the eyes or blinding of the retina. The phenomenon, except for two interruptions when the sun seemed to send out rays of refulgent heat which obliged us to look away, must have lasted about ten minutes.

    The sun's disc did not remain immobile. This was not the sparkling of a, heavenly body, for it spun round on itself in a mad whirl. Then, suddenly, one heard a clamour, a cry of anguish breaking from all the people. The sun, whirling wildly, seemed to loosen itself from the firmament and advance threateningly upon the earth as if to crush us with its huge and fiery weight. The sensation during those moments was terrible.

    During the solar phenomenon, which I have just described in detail, there were changes of colour in the atmosphere. Looking at the sun, I noticed that everything around was becoming darkened. I looked first at the nearest objects and then extended my glance further afield as far as the horizon. I saw everything an amethyst colour. Objects around me, the sky and the atmosphere, were of the same colour. An oak tree nearby threw a shadow of this colour on the ground.

    Fearing that I was suffering from an affection of the retina, an improbable explanation because in that case one could not see things purple-colored, I turned away and shut my eyes, keeping my hands before them to intercept the light. With my back still turned, I opened my eyes and saw that the landscape was the same purple colour as before.

    The impression was not that of an eclipse, and while looking at the sun I noticed that the atmosphere had cleared. Soon after I heard a peasant who was near me shout out in tones of astonishment: "Look, that lady is all yellow!"

    And in fact everything, both near and far, had changed, taking on the colour of old yellow damask. People looked as if they were suffering from jaundice, and I recall a sensation of amusement at seeing them look so ugly and unattractive. My own hand was the same colour. All the phenomena which I have described were observed by me in a calm and serene state of mind, and without any emotional disturbance. It is for others to interpret and explain them.

    Dr. Almeida Garrett, PhD (Coimbra University):

    I was looking at the place of the apparitions, in a serene, if cold, expectation of something happening, and with diminishing curiosity, because a long time had passed without anything to excite my attention. Then I heard a shout from thousands of voices and saw the multitude suddenly turn its back and shoulders away from the point toward which up to now it had directed its attention, and turn to look at the sky on the opposite side.

    Dr. Domingos Coelho (reported in the newspaper Ordem):

    The sun, at one moment surrounded with scarlet flame, at another aureoled in yellow and deep purple, seemed to be in an exceedingly fast and whirling movement, at times appearing to be loosened from the sky and to be approaching the earth, strongly radiating heat.

    Fr. Manuel Pereira da Silva (in a letter to a friend)

    The sun appeared with its circumference well defined. It came down as if to the height of the clouds and began to whirl giddily upon itself like a captive ball of fire. With some interruptions, this lasted about eight minutes. The atmosphere darkened and the features of each became yellow. Everyone knelt even in the mud....

    Senhor Alfredo da Silva Santos (Lisbon):

    We made our arrangements, and went in three motor cars on the early morning of the 13th. There was a thick mist, and the car which went in front mistook the way so that we were all lost for a time and only arrived at the Cova da Iria at midday by the sun. It was absolutely full of people, but for my part I felt devoid of any religious feeling. When Lucia called out: "Look at the sun!" the whole multitude repeated: "Attention to the sun!" It was a day of incessant drizzle but a few moments before the miracle it stopped raining. I can hardly find words to describe what followed. The sun began to move, and at a certain moment appeared to be detached from the sky and about to hurtle upon us like a wheel of flame. My wife---we had been married only a short time- -- fainted, and I was too upset to attend to her, and my brother-in- law, Joao Vassalo, supported her on his arm. I fell on my knees, oblivious of everything, and when I got up I don't know what I said. I think I began to cry out like the others. An old man with a white beard began to attack the atheists aloud and challenged them to say whether or not something supernatural had occurred.

There may have been many former atheists in Fátima that day, but there were plenty in Portugal, nonetheless, to charge hallucination. For those the Lady provided witnesses who were not at the scene and could not have been subject to collective suggestion.

    Alfonso Lopes Vieira (observed the display from a distance of nearly 25 miles):

    On that day of October 13, 1917,  without remembering the predictions of the children, I was enchanted by a remarkable spectacle in the sky of a kind I had never seen before. I saw it from this veranda....

    Fr. Ignacio Lorenco (Alburitel, 11 miles away):

    I was only nine years old at this time, and I went to the local village school. At about midday we were surprised by the shouts and cries of some men and women who were passing in the street in front of the school. The teacher, a good, pious woman, though nervous and impressionable, was the first to run into the road, with the children after her.

    Outside, the people were shouting and weeping and pointing to the sun, ignoring the agitated questions of the schoolmistress. It was the great Miracle, which one could see quite distinctly from the top of the hill where my village was situated---the Miracle of the sun, accompanied by all its extraordinary phenomena.

    I feel incapable of describing what I saw and felt. I looked fixedly at the sun, which seemed pale and did not hurt the eyes. Looking like a ball of snow revolving on itself, it suddenly seemed to come down in a zigzag, menacing the earth. Terrified, I ran and hid myself among the people, who were weeping and expecting the end of the world at any moment.

    Near us was an unbeliever who had spent the morning mocking at the simpletons who had gone off to Fátima just to see an ordinary girl. He now seemed to be paralyzed, his eyes fixed on the sun. Afterwards he trembled from head to foot and lifting up his arms fell on his knees in the mud, crying out to our Lady.

    Meanwhile the people continued to cry out and to weep, asking God to pardon their sins. We all ran to the two chapels in the village, which were soon filled to overflowing. During those long moments of the solar prodigy, objects around us turned all the colors of the rainbow. We saw ourselves blue, yellow, red, etc. All these strange phenomena increased the fears of the people. After about ten minutes the sun, now dull and pallid, returned to its place. When the people realized that the danger was over, there was an explosion of joy, and everyone joined in thanksgiving and praise to our Lady.

CatholicTV in the Archdiocese of Boston Announces October 2010 Telethon
Innovative station celebrates 50 Years of “History and Faith in the Making”

Bridget Gabrielle Hylak*

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 29, 2010, Boston, Massachusetts USA —


On October 1, 2010, CatholicTV in the Archdiocese of Boston will broadcast one of the most unique, live television broadcasts in the nation via its annual telethon. The Catholic TV telethon typically involves an almost unheard-of 12 hours of live television, and last year’s broadcast included musical performances by Catholic artists from across the U.S., as well as a special visit by Boston’s beloved Cardinal Sean O'Malley.



The Catholic TV broadcast network has been spreading the Catholic message through modern media for decades, and recently celebrated 50 years of programming excellence. Winner of the prestigious Gabriel Award in June 2010 for “Religious Television Station of the Year” presented by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals, and recipient of individual honors this year for specific productions via New York’s “Telly Awards,” CatholicTV was the first diocesan, and the first full-time Catholic television station, in the world. Under the auspices of then Archbishop Richard Cushing, CatholicTV's first program was broadcast the morning of January 1, 1955 when the Archbishop celebrated a Pontifical Low Mass in their new studios on Granby Street in Boston, Massachusetts.



CatholicTV currently reaches all corners of the globe, particularly via their online presence, and features great preachers and theologians as well as the weekly audience with the Pope, Octava Dies, and all papal journeys. Visitors to CatholicTV.com enjoy a live stream of the network's faith-filled, family-friendly, programming, including the daily Mass and Rosary, as well as over 1400 archived versions of many of the network shows that are available for free download, embedding or on-demand viewing in high quality Flash video.


Most recently, three new state-of-the-art developments are helping the network directly respond to the call of Pope Benedict and his predecessor "to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources which, alongside traditional means, can open up broad new vistas for dialogue, evangelization and catechesis" (The 44th World Communications Day, May 2010).



CatholicTV’s web “widget” (a portable chunk of code), called CatholicTVjr, is a compact version of the network that can be freely and easily embedded into any website.  Be it a diocesan, parish, school, agency or personal site, this clever widget can help any website come alive with a Catholic presence.



Evidencing the network’s broad online and international presence, the Archdiocese of Pondicherry (India) was the first to put CatholicTVjr on their website. Many other innovative dioceses around the world have followed suit, thus offering a treasure house of quality Catholic programming to their visitors. With a single click of the mouse, for example, visitors to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s website open into a pop-up screen in which they can watch CatholicTV live via this widget, and access its huge library of archived videos, all while remaining on Philadelphia’s own site.



A second cutting-edge development recently launched at CatholicTV is their new “app” for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The free, mini-application allows digital device owners to “carry” their Catholic faith by providing the online Mass every day, the Rosary from around the nation and the world, brief reflections to bolster the faith, and news about what's happening and upcoming in the Catholic world.  A second CatholicTV app was released this August at the Catholic New Media Celebration, held at the Archdiocese of Boston’s Pastoral Center.



Probably the most innovative of all of the network’s recent endeavors, however, is its launch into the world of 3D programming – far ahead of its broadcasting colleagues even in the secular media.



In its own faith-filled description of this latest “3Development”, the CatholicTV Monthly – a free magazine and viewer's guide available in print and digital versions – pointed out, “The Easter mystery into which we have all been baptized is three dimensional. Our faith is based on the bedrock of our understanding that God is One, yet three persons… Our faith is not a flat picture we hang on the wall…[it] is alive and brilliant with color and dimension…” To that end, www.3DCatholicTV.com <http://www.3DCatholicTV.com> offers a host of its programs in 3D that enrich and inspire the mind, soul and senses (with or without the “cool” glasses!).



CatholicTV has enjoyed a year of tremendous growth and well-earned recognition, under the direction of Station Director Fr. Robert Reed and General Manager Mr. Jay Fadden <http://www.catholictv.com/Jay-Fadden.aspx> . Its upcoming telethon this Friday, October 1, which will air from 9AM-9PM eastern time (USA) and will also be broadcast live online, promises to be a living display of hard work, joy, prayer and hope for the network’s future. Tune in and please spread the word!



Viewers wishing to access CatholicTV in their area can visit http://www.CatholicTV.com online for a live broadcast feed 24/7. In the US, potential viewers can visit an interactive page and select their city and state to see if they can watch CatholicTV in their area.

“Weep not for me but for your children”. Today our world seems to be ruled by the forces of death and destruction. We find ourselves in a Valley of Tears. We have been betrayed by our world leaders.

Isn’t it time we turned our hearts and minds to God and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. But perhaps the problem might be that most people don’t really like themselves and so it is very difficult to love your neighbor if you don’t like (love) yourself.

We have allowed the forces of satan to rule this world when it might be better if we prayed as often as possible “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven”.

Father we cry out to you to help us by establishing your Kingdom. We know that you don’t work for us but will work with us. So perhaps if more people turned off their TVs and turned to prayer maybe You will renew the Face of this Earth.

MATTHEW 5:43-48

You have heard that it was said, “you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you  may be children of your Father in Heaven; for he makes His son rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you,, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.

Jesus is merely challenging us to be perfect like our Heavenly Father. Yet, he also knows of our human limitations but He wants us to go the extra measure. He is not expecting perfection merely one’s intent regardless of how often one may fail in that attempt.

Plead with Our Lord to take you into His Heart. Plead with Our Lord to let you take a sip from His Cup of Sorrow and Joy so that you may grow in Holiness and FAITH.

Often repeat “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven” ….

Recently I received wonderful news from the Marian Movement of Priests:

Fr. Gobbi is eighty years old and is still traveling. The Blessed Mother performed a great miracle through him in 2008. He conducted cenacles for the whole month of October in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda while traveling with the pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Those countries were at war for fifteen years. From the first cenacle, he promised that if they consecrated their countries to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, there would be peace. Because of this promise that was broadcast on the national news, more than three million people came to the different cenacles that were conducted in open fields. Even some members of Parliament participated at the cenacles. Two months later, all three countries signed a peace agreement.

The Foreshadowing of the New Era
From the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World of the
Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et Spes N. 39)

We do not know the time when earth and humanity will reach their
completion, nor do we know the way in which the universe will be
transformed. The world as we see it, disfigured by sin, is passing away.
But we are assured that God is preparing a new dwelling place and a new
earth. In this new earth righteousness is to make its home, and
happiness will satisfy, and more than satisfy, all the yearnings for
peace that arise in human hearts. On that day, when death is conquered,
the sons of God will be raised up in Christ; what was sown as something
weak and perishable will be clothed in incorruption. Love and the fruits
of love will remain, and the whole of creation, made by God for man, will
be set free from the frustration that enslaves it.
We are warned indeed that a man gains nothing if he wins the
whole world at the cost of himself. Yet our hope in a new earth should
not weaken, but rather stimulate our concern for developing this earth,
for on it there is growing up the body of a new human family, a body even
now able to provide some foreshadowing of the new age. Hence, though
earthly progress is to be carefully distinguished from the growth of
Christ's kingdom, yet in so far as it can help toward the better ordering
of human society it is of great importance to the kingdom of God.
The blessings of human dignity, brotherly communion and freedom -
all the good fruits on earth of man's cooperation with nature in the
Spirit of the Lord and according to his command - will be found again in
the world to come, but purified of all stain, resplendent and
transfigured, when Christ hands over to the Father an eternal and
universal kingdom: "a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness
and grace, a kingdom of justice, love and peace." On this earth the
kingdom is already present in sign; when the Lord comes it will reach its
completion.

In Luke 18:18: “When the Son of Man comes will He find faith on the earth?” Lord, I do believe; help me in my unbelief …so that my faith may  “move the mountain”.

In Luke 18:35-43: “And it came to pass that as Jesus drew near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the side of the road begging. And hearing a crowd passing through he asked what this might be. And they told him: Jesus the Nazarene is passing by. And he cried out: Jesus, Son of David, pity me. And those going before Jesus scolded the man telling him he should be quiet. But he cried out all the more: Son of David, pity me. And stopping Jesus commanded that he be brought to Him. As the blind man drew near, Jesus asked him: What do you want me to do for you? And the blind man said to him: Lord that I may see again. And Jesus said to him: See again! Your faith has healed you. And at once the man saw again and he followed Jesus glorifying God.

Some ask why Jesus does not answer our prayers. But He does according to our faith and more often then not our faith is simply not there. While reading the New Testament our Lord often repeats in various ways: “According to your faith let it be done to you”.

The world is a mess because “we” have lost our way. We have little Faith in Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. So pray not just for yourself and your loved ones but for all children of God. Let Go and petition Our Lord that he may allow you to enter into His Heart so that your weakened faith may become a strong and powerful Faith that will bring joy to Our Lord when He returns. Time is of the essence.  Prepare now while you still have the time for perhaps tonight or tomorrow Our Lord will come for you.

Recently I was in the Bible-Belt of the South. I spent a week in Mississippi and was overjoyed with the love and kindness of the people of this state. It seemed that the Holy Name of Jesus was on everyone’s lips and truly the Name of the Lord is being publicly  and privately glorified by the numerous Houses of Worship in honor of Christ.

I remember the days of the Civil Rights Movement and as you will read in Sacred Scripture from much evil much goodness will arise. And so the South has arisen to embrace all children of God. I was amazed at the love, kindness and respect the people of Mississippi have grown into with the Blessings of Gods Divine Presence. I could feel the Holy Presence of Our God wherever I went. If the rest of the South is like Mississippi then truly the South had arisen while glorifying Our Lord.

Let us pray “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven”.  Let us believe that Our Lord will renew this earth. Let us believe with a greater faith that in this “Valley of Tears” that Gods planet has become will before the end of this decade become a “Valley of Rainbows” for you, your loved ones and all children of God. You FAITH will help bring this about. Imagine a world of peace and justice for each one of us as equals who will partake in our oneness as Gods beloved children.



Do you truly believe that Jesus will hear your prayers and make you holy and be able to raise you and those you love above this present Culture of Self-Destruction and Death.  Too many of our children have been and continue to be falsely guided into this False Era of Self- Destruction and Death.

Unfortunately, we are now reaping what we have sown. We took up the False Mantra of Free Choice and now that Mantra is being applied to all the poor, middle class, and many of the rich, even some of the super-rich. Humanities’ talents and labor are no longer needed by the false rulers of this world.  We are slowly being replaced by technology and robotic humanoids. Instead many of these rulers fill our minds and our hearts with false promises as they enter into their diabolical plot to exterminate 6 billion, 600 million 600 thousand children of God.  So you say it is not so. Simply look about and see how many who had jobs and homes several years ago have no place to call home or a job today, or money for food. Yes, it will become worse for we have little faith. You will seek shelter but there will be no shelter for those with such little faith.

Prepare to meet the Lord who is coming in Peace, Love and Joy to free you from your enslavement. Do not allow your-self to become discouraged or mislead.  If you or one of your loved ones has become trapped by the trickster into a life of self-destruction through negative behavior then turn to Our Lord with all your heart and pray constantly not just for yourself or your loved one but for all the children of God.  Pray for Our Lord to find a strong a vibrant Faith within our Valley of Tears before He establishes the new earthly Kingdom. As the late St. John Paul II said, “Be Not Afraid”.

Be thankful for what you have and take pity and mercy upon those of great wealth whose hearts have been turned to stone as the expand Freedom of Choice and Choose to Exterminate most of the populous. For many of them, they don’t even realize what they are doing or have done. Some are looked upon as heroes by making billions of dollars but those dollars were made by stepping on the backs and even breaking the backs of their spiritual brothers and sisters. Forgive them and pity them for they have become blind and have fallen asleep in their materialistic world.

Let us pray that Our Lord may change their hearts so that they may share their bounty with those that have so little. May Our Lord help inspire these very wealthy families to take time to help uplift humanity from its misery.  Keep them in your prayers for when they stand before the Almighty, God will expect much of them for they have been given much.

Did you ever wonder why one would want a billion dollars, or a zillion or trillion dollars?  What good does it really do if you become the riches person in the world but find that your heart has been turned in to stone? The rich during the times of Julius Caesar have never gone away. They just became wealthier, as they hid their names and wealth from the world. But once a long time ago God held each one of them, as well as you and I in the palm of His Hand and called each of us by Name. What good does so much materialistic wealth do when the Angel of Death comes.  We were born into this world with great spiritual wealth and we should take great care to protect our wealth as heirs of the Eternal Kingdom.

Let yourself not be deceived by the great deceiver satan. His time of rule is over and now the new era has already begun for those with a strong and powerful Faith. This world can offer you nothing. Only the peace and love of Christ can enrich you with spiritual wealth beyond anything this world can offer you.

As Our Lord pointed out, if we as poor sinners know how to be good to our children, then imagine how much more the Father in Heaven will give us for being His children regardless of our unworthiness.

During this time we have lost our Constitutional Rights to LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Without the right to life and liberty how can we pursue Peace and Happiness? But we can by allowing Christ to take us into His Heart and taste His Joy as we also drink from His Sacred Cup of Sorrow.

Some ask how can a loving God allow such misery. He doesn’t we instead have been given Free Will. For those of you who have lost a loved one know that your loved one has been given the gift of Eternal Life even though you will weep and your tears will flow and your heart will be ripped apart as you participate in carrying your heavy cross. But would you rather have it that God never granted your loved one life. Soon your tears of sorrow will be turned into tears of joy.

As for those that grieve over their abortion(s) know that the life that was aborted remains for what God creates can never be destroyed. Pray for your unborn child and pray for yourself for you did not know what you were doing. Your were fooled by this era of “Self-Destruction and Death”. You were indoctrinated and brainwashed by satan in being allowed to believe in “Freedom of Choice”.  Perhaps you expect too little in forgiving  yourself because you expect too little from Our Lord’s  Fountain of Mercy. Let your Faith make you whole so that your heart may be open to the Holy Spirit. Let your Faith save you for you prayers and petitions for yourself and others are very powerful before the Eternal Kingdom.

As St. Paul wrote: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it even entered into the conception of the human mind what God has prepared for those who love Him”. And where will you find this God. He is everywhere. He dwells within you and your neighbor,  within your loved ones and all the billions of children of God, past, present and future. You are truly blessed and your riches are beyond those of this false and pretentious world. Just look at the models from Hollywood, TV, the media and press that today’s society embraces. So many of these famous people have failed in helping to uplift society but instead have embraced “destruction and death”. Why? Because too many of them have sought greed and believe in their own false-self and pride instead of being grateful by sharing their bounty with their lesser brothers and sisters.

Some of these famous celebrities have become addicted to some form of substance abuse. When they have a child that child might have a strong propensity toward addiction.  They are not bad people nor should we judge them so we may not be judged but instead pray for a greater Faith for them and ourselves as well as all those we hold within our heart, mind and soul. In other words pray for all of humanity past, present and future. Your prayers are very powerful and touch the Heart of Our Living God. Become his number one pest and petition Him constantly by praying, “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven”.

If you been following the media and press and then trusting in what you see going on about you one cannot fail to grasp the severity of our economic situation. It is my belief that we are living though the  beginning Times of Revelation.

Based on my own personal spiritual/religious experiences and many years ago while reading “To the Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” by The Marian Movement of Priests” I decided to invest more time in prayer and Faith Building as well as stock investments. You can find more information about The Marian Movement of Priests by using the search engine on this site or clicking on links. As for my free investment newsletter you might find it enjoyable by going to www.goldendoorways.com or www.debtincomeweatlh.com.  When reading any of my posts you will notice that my emphasis remains on spiritual wealth. Even if you must pester the Blessed Trinity and the Holy Family both day and night then do so. Eventually Heaven will answer your prayers regardless of what you might or might not have done. Remember Jesus said that He has come for the unrighteous and that only God is all pure and all good.

We are in the process of creating a friendlier user design to the Fatima Prayers web site. Perhaps by August or sooner the new site web site will be completed.

As for the new language updates it has been a continuous struggle, but we hope to resume that project this month and limit the number of languages according to Gods Divine Will.

May the Blessings of Our Lord Jesus precede you, be with you now and follow in all you do on behalf of Our Father’s Kingdom.  May Our Lord bestow on you, your family and loved ones the gift of entering into His Heart and tasting from His cup of Joy and being given the gift to share in His Sorrow.

The Sorrow and Joy of Our Lord, Our God

Our Lord weeps for what is taking place and what must continue to take place. We His chosen children have betrayed Our Heavenly Father. We have trampled upon His gifts and turned His land into a desert of death and destruction. His gift of this earth lies desolate and in ruin before all of Heaven. We His chosen children have turned against Him by forgetting why we were given this gift of life.

We have forgotten to take time to enjoy the miracles that happen every day and night. We have forgotten the gifts of the wind and the sun, the stars and the moon. We have forgotten all the wonderful gifts given to us in our humanity, spirituality and nature. We have forgotten the gift of kindness to one another. 

We shun the poor from rising to freedom and encourage the worst behavior possible in the history of our humanity!  We have little remorse for those that are beneath us and seek to topple those above us. We have forgotten to be thankful for the gift of having what we have been given.  “Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us …”

Too many have forgotten to thank God for being His Heavenly Heirs, His chosen children. Too many have forgotten to pray for their spiritual brothers and sisters. Too many seek greed and ill gotten materialistic wealth as they step on the backs of their spiritual brothers and sisters. We have become a world of the “living dead” that seek greed while glorifying evilness and destruction via the media and press.

If you had an opportunity to be a saint or a sinner which would you choose?  It is my humble belief that most people would want to be the “godfather/mobster” as opposed to walking in the footsteps of Christ.

Imagine a person who is walking down the street and sees a house on fire and runs inside and saves the people. They all embrace and take great joy in being saved. Yet, the very next day they find out that they practice devotion to different religious faiths and immediately turn against one another.  A few days latter one of the people who had been saved in the fire is walking down the street and sees a house on fire and rushes into the flames and saves the people living there. They all embrace and are overcome with joy. Suddenly the rescuer recognizes one of the people rescued as the same person who had rescued him the previous week. Once again their resentment for one another causes them to part ways because they practice different spiritual paths. 
Isn’t this how most of the world behaves today? Even though we are all children of the same God we resent one another for practicing a faith different from our own faith.

Perhaps it is time we moved away from “religiosity” and moved toward “spirituality” in seeing the Holy Presence of God in each person we meet. Many different paths lead to the Eternal Kingdom and it might be time for humanity to arise and respect those different spiritual paths that seek only to glorify Heaven.

It seems the only time we truly come together as a people of goodness is when tragedy occurs. It seems that if the tragedy is great a greater goodness will occur for a longer amount of time. If you were God would you not send death and destruction to get the attention of your children who have turned your Kingdom upside down in order to save their souls?

Today the world considers the word “good” as “bad” and “bad” as “good”.  We have some how lost our way. We seem to prefer “death” and “destruction” over “joy’ and “love”. We focus on the materialistic and seem to have turned away from the spiritual. Yet Our Eternal Father loves us while He weeps for what He must do to save us.  If you were   God would you not send help in the form of Chastisements in order to save the souls of your children, even if it meant destroying the present earth and creating a new Heavenly Earth? 

It seems that when the stock market is up, and money is plentiful, and the good times are here the churches have few souls in attendance, but when the stock market is spiraling down, the money is gone, and hard times are upon us, we flock in great numbers to our Father’s House of Worship and plead for His Mercy and help.

Yet why should God help His children who have turned against him and embraced so many of His enemies such as war, greed, lust and pride? Yet, even though God grows angry and weeps He remembers that we our human and continually fall into the mud of sin. He sends His Son Jesus who has come to save His unrighteous spiritual brothers and sisters. How lucky and blessed we are to have such a wonderful and loving God.  Our Lord, Our God thank you for all you do to help save us!

There are a few souls who have devoted their lives to building Gods Kingdom. They have sacrificed everything for all of humanity. Thanks to Gods Mercy and Kindness our Chastisement has been softened with the help of their continuous prayers and devotions. These are our priests, monks, brothers, sisters, missionaries, deacons, and others who have taken spiritual vows (and other members of the laity) to devote their time to work without compensation in our Father’s vineyard. Their sacrifices are gifts we fail to grasp. Instead of focusing on their work we focus on all the negativity of this world.

Even though with each passing day it seems that the world situation grows worse we should take delight for soon the time of satan’s reign will be over and the new Heavenly Earth will begin. May Our Lord, Our God,  give each of us additional graces to carry and embrace our daily crosses and tribulations that grow heavier with each passing day by granting us spiritual wisdom, hope and perseverance as we await the new Heavenly Kingdom.

If you prayed today you have nothing to fear for Our Lord, Our God is with you. If you took the words of Holy Scripture and placed them within your heart then why should you fear the day or the night or what crosses or tribulations may be placed upon you?  As Saint Padre Pio said, “PRAY, HOPE AND DON’T WORRY”.  Why not ask Christ right now to allow you to follow in His footsteps, and to remain by your side.

Lord fill-up our small minds and our weak hearts with your Mercy, Forgiveness and Love so we might be more like You. Help us to pray each day and dwell within Holy Scripture. Help us to fulfill our Baptismal vows. Help us to take the higher road so that You might fill our hearts and souls with Your Spiritual Light and Love.

What about Judas who betrayed Christ and then felt such remorse that he went out and hung himself from a tree. Have your ever prayed for his eternal salvation for he still remains as one of your spiritual brothers? Are we not like Judas? Did he not truly love Jesus? Do we not love Jesus? Perhaps he loved Jesus more than you or I! How many of us have betrayed Jesus not just once but on numerous occasions? So let us take some time to remember to ask Our Lord to forgive Judas and grant him eternal salvation.

Jeremiah 12:
“The whole land has become a desert, and no one cares.”

Lord, help me to care and not to plunder for You have given me wealth beyond measure. You have made me your heir. You have made my family Your Heavenly heirs. What more can I ask of you for You have given the Keys to the Eternal Kingdom!

During this month may you be given the graces necessary to pray “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven”.

It is my humble belief that things must grow much worse before the head of satan is chained. Most of the world seems to be in some hypnotic state of being and fails to grasp that God wants us to live as spiritual brothers and sisters as opposed to how we now treat one another. God wants all that is good for us but the world seems to reject goodness and instead embraces all that is detrimental. Some people even believe that the new earth as well as Heaven is sterile and filled Valley of Tears.

Recently I received that latest issue of The 101 Times #83.  The main article begins with “He Made Up His Own Prayer” from The Garabandal Journal, j/f-09 by Dr. Ed. Serrano & Rosalie Turton.  The article goes on to say that St. Faustina made a Novena of 1000 Hail Marys a day for nine days when she wanted something very badly. The article goes on telling how Father Corapi made up his own short prayer that he said 1000 times a day for nine days as his Novena.

Often when I read the prayer requests that people post on this site or think about the problems we face each day I have prayed for a brief prayer that might possibly bring about the world we seek while being pleasing to God.

In addition to all our other spiritual prayers and devotions I have begun a Nine Day Novena of 1,0000 prayers each day of the following:

         “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”

I invite you to join me in this simple prayer. You like myself can pray some of the Novena in the morning, later in the day and later in the evening.

Imagine what our world would be like under the NEW KINGDOM according to Our Father’s Will.  We wouldn’t be watching our children die because of substance abuse or some medical or mental illness. Instead we would live in a Valley of JOY instead of this present Valley of Tears.

Imagine living in a world with all those whom you carry in your heart. Imagine living in a world of joy, peace and happiness.

Please join me and if you want to make a Nine Day or Thirty or Forty Day Novena or a Perpetual Novena as you ask God to guide you. Whatever you do on behalf of Our Father’s Kingdom may the Blessings of Our Lord Jesus Christ precede you, be with you now and follow you throughout your earthly journey.

As the bible says in the end times there will be no place to run or hide from the wrath that will descend upon the world. I believe this time is quickly approaching.

It is good to invest in financial wealth and health, but more importantly in the spiritual health of yourself and your family. It is wise for us to remember that God doesn’t work for us but will work with us. It has also been said that God helps those that turn to God in sincere prayer. Even if your prayer is just a momentary thought God will hear you and respond. Knock until the Doors of Heaven open to you and those you love.

It is my belief that satan’s plan is to exterminate 6 billion, 600 million, 600 thousand children of God. This diabolical plan is scheduled for implementation within the next 10 to 15 years. We are quickly being replaced by humanoids, robotic technology and nanobots. God gave the world these gifts to uplift society and bring His children into His Divine Light. Instead satan and his followers of about a half a billion have a different plan. They want to place you on the Titanic 666 as they seek to be human gods.

However, God has sent over 6 billion (almost 7 billion) of His human imperfect angels to turned to Him in prayer. You are one of those angels. Regardless of what you have done or not done you are and always will be a child of God. Before you were born He held you in the palm of His Hand and called you by name. At that time God allowed you to choose your daily trials and tribulations. He also gave you Free Will to say yes I will embrace my cross (the cross you chose) or I will not, and instead will stumble and fall from its weight but will try as best I can. Whatever you choose remember that God Loves You. He Loves you with such a powerful Love that He sent His only Son (Jesus God the Son) to show you the Way, the Truth and the Light. Jesus came for the unrighteous not the righteous. He is always with us especially when we stumble and fall into the mud (sin) of life.

I am not one to advocate one religion or to judge any other person, but isn’t it time we returned to our Houses of Prayer, and instead of fighting amongst ourselves and pointing fingers at one another, we might be better to seek the Divine Light and Wisdom of God in order to help establish His Kingdom on earth. However it takes courage to work in Gods Vineyard and even greater courage to expect nothing in return except suffering, ridicule and persecution. For as the world crucified Christ expect nothing less for the work you do amongst the wolves who have come to us disguised as sheep. They have infiltrated all levels of life, and today we find our world not as a reflection of Gods Love, but instead a world of sadness, great suffering and even greater sorrow. We dwell in the Valley of Tears.

How many more of the innocent most die from starvation? How much more innocent blood most cover the hearts of humanity and stand before God as an abomination? How many more most die by believing in the 24/7 false propaganda of satan that is destroying this world and causing even the children of God to fight amongst themselves over silly and meaningless issues, while we allow satans empire to grow and engulf this world in the darkness of sin? Our real fight is with satan not with one another. Let us stand together respectful of one another with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the Sacred Heart of Mary leading us in this Great Spiritual Battle against satan and his followers.

As we fret over senseless issues our children are surrounded 24/7 in a culture of death while depression overtakes their future. Let us join together in prayer and come together as spiritual brothers and sisters respectful of each others life style. God created each one of us for a purpose and so it might be better to open our hearts, minds and souls to Our Creators Divine Light and find one's own purpose instead of trying to be gods in judging others, for in reality we are but little children who seem to take great delight in gossiping and pointing fingers in judgment of one another. Remember each time you point your finger at another three of those fingers point back to you.

In order to enter the Divine Light you must not seek it but simply go into the silence within yourself. Try to reach a level of total stillness. Do not ask for anything for God already knows what you need. If the Divine Light does not descend and engulf you try again and again until It does. Keep knocking on Heaven’s Door and the Door will open as you become one with God.

Be not afraid of what is taking place during these times for the entire world as you knew it as a child has changed and will continue to change. Within the next decade the world you presently know will be totally different. In order to best prepare for this transformation turn to God and all will be well for you, and your loved ones living or deceased, regardless of the Darkness that is rapidly engulfing the world. The followers of satan have a plan for a one world currency and a one world religion. Do not allow yourselves to be fooled by these false leaders. Already world markets, world currencies, governments, and entire countries and Nations are being destroyed. But you have the God given Power to seek and find God through prayer and meditation. Cover yourself and those you love in the Sacred and Holy Cloaks of Jesus and Mary.

Whenever you pray or turn to God or enter into any House of Gods it is a Divine Gift for it is not you but it is God who has called you to that state of dwelling to be with Him. Be at peace for you are here at this page, reading this article, not out of your own will but because you have been called through Divine Grace.

God will eventually hear your prayers, but remember many of us have turned from God and so you will need time to prove that you truly are a seeker of His Truth and Light for one must reap what one has sown. Too many seek wealth, pleasure and personal gratification while neglecting their spiritual growth and the spiritual health of their brothers and sisters who are in need of human kindness.

Would you be willing to give up your eternal salvation if you knew that all of Gods Children would be then able to enter into Heaven? How can anyone work in Gods Vineyard and seek eternal salvation knowing that even one soul or many of one's spiritual brothers and sisters that number in the billions may not be there with you? Wouldn't your sorrow be too great that you simply would not be happy knowing that so many were suffering the fires of hell? Isn't that what this world is becoming .. . a living hell? Let us join together to stop this from happening. If someone slanders you or causes you spiritual agitation go to God and seek His Divine Will. Forgive anyone who hurts you for they know not what they are doing or how they are interfering in Gods Plan. Pray for them and their loved ones. Pray for Gods Kingdom to be established on earth as it is in Heaven.

In these most difficult times is it not better to be a beggar than a thief and a destroyer of God’s Kingdom? Anything of this world is but a passing moment and what is most important is your soul and the souls of your spiritual brothers and sisters regardless of how they might treat you. Try to remember that if you walk in the footsteps of Christ you will be ridiculed, mocked with false charges most likely brought against you by even those whom you consider to be your spiritual brothers and sisters. During these times of intense trials and tribulations satan's plan is for the good to fight against the good. Isn't that what is happening more and more each day?

If the world hates you for speaking up for Gods Kingdom know that the world also hated Christ for preaching the Good News. If you are hated by the world it means you are on the right path. Do not become discouraged or seek to cover yourself in darkness. If the false gossip and malicious lies become too great and you slip into sin simply get up and return to the Heart of Jesus. Every time you are knocked down look upon it as a Blessing from God and return again and again to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

For those that have lost a loved one because of substance abuse of any type know that God is well aware that the wolves in sheep’s clothing filled the mind and heart of your loved one with false propaganda and your loved one is now with God. Today we have become a Culture of Death and yet God knows that those who have fallen victim to satan are the innocent lambs.

The Love of the Blessed Trinity knows no limits especially in these Final Days of this Great Spiritual Battle that has descended upon the entire world. God has already won this Battle and satan's time is ending. Soon the new earth will come forth and be ruled by God and His People.

Try to remember that you are a child of God and regardless of what you have done turn to God in the stillness of your inner self. Try to remember that if you are suffering it will only be for a little longer for God will not abandon His Children even though many of His Children have abandoned Him. His Love for you and all those that have gone before you and will pass on after you, is too great and He will once again hold you in the Palm of His Hand and call you by Name. You will no longer suffer in sorrow or dwell in the Valley of Tears. All will soon be well for all is well in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You are very much loved for you are a child of God.

The Sermon on the Mount; The Beatitudes

Matthew 5 (New American Standard Bible)

"When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are hose who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you".


We have entered into a new era of Darkness that is enveloping the world. Our numerous leaders don't seem to have a clue on how to solve the many issues facing the people of the world. However we have the answer by turning to the Blessed Trinity and the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The media is filled with false hopes and promises while many of our children have been mislead as we have become a "Culture of Death" that many of our children and grandchildren are being lead into. Satan is stealing their lives by the thousands. As the late Pope John Paul said many times "Be Not Afraid". This is the time to engulf yourself and your family in the Divine Light of Heaven.

The world stock markets continued to plunge on Friday and will probably have a mini Bull Market rebound while the public buys and Institutional selling continues. It is best to prepare for what lies ahead by arming yourselves and your family with prayer by entering into God's Divine Light.

For those interested in my stock market commentary you can access my free web site at www.goldendoorways.com. Once you enter the Home Page click on Enter and then click on Finance. This is a work in progress so please be aware that I am aware that there is some fine tweaking that needs to be done but progress is being made. Within the next few days OR BY MID FEBRUARY you should be able to also click on "Spirituality" WHERE YOU WILL FIND WWW.FATIMAPRAYERS.COM.

May Our Lord seal you and your family with His Blessing for all you do on behalf of His Fathers Kingdom. You are Gods children, the imperfect human Angels that God has sent into the world to help in the ongoing battle against the satanic forces of our time. You have been called to prayer. Jesus came for the unrighteous not the righteous. So don't be concerned if you have fallen often into the mud of life but instead rejoice in knowing that you are a child of God. Jesus awaits you in the Confessional, in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and in Holy Communion while attending Mass. We enter into the world with nothing and leave all our possessions behind as we exit this world except for our many acts of Kindness and Prayer for Gods Kingdom and for all of Gods Creation. So take some time to mediate on the Beatitudes of Matthew.

JANUARY CURRENT NEWS 2010

Today we invite you to open your eyes and see that all Biblical prophecies are now upon us. This is a great time for being filled with joy in knowing that satan’s reign of power is almost over. You need to choose whether you will stand with God or satan.

Please remember that you are not only the Children of God but the Human Imperfecet Angels that God has sent by the billions to help chain satan and lead to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart in the world.

Do not be concerned with your sins, but instead seek Confession, and know that before you were born you were held in the palm of God and called by Name. That all you are going though in carrying your cross you accepted before you were born. You are Gods imperfect children and He Loves you even greater for your human failures. This is a time for greater prayer and simply accepting all the sufferings that you go through by offering them to God’s Word “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done on earth as it is in Heaven”.

At this time satan’s power, the adversary of Our Heavenly Mother, is growing and more powerful. God has revealed to us that satan plans on exterminating over 6 billion people within the next 10 to 30 years. This God will not allow to happen but your prayers and sacrifices are needed to stop this diabolical plan.

If you look at how we are being treated by all world governments and even some of our religious leaders it is a mockery of God and His Word. In the near future the scientists are preparing humanoids, robotic machinery and nanobots that will replace humanity. Those in power will marvel at these future accomplishments and decide that most of humanity is no longer needed.

What do you do with something that becomes obsolete? So humanity is about to become obsolete. By prayer you can help stop this madness! Look about you at

how many jobs are now being replaced by technology. Imagine what life will be like for your children and grandchildren.

It is time for you to choose to stand with God or satan. Go back to your house of prayer and seek Divine Intervention. Lift up your eyes to the Mother of God and ask for her help. She will not refuse you regardless of how many times you have fallen into the mud (sin) of merely being human. You are Her children and she loves you in a special way. Go to her now.

Also know that our liberation is close and growing closer. Be Not Afraid as the late Pope John Paul said many times. Even with the darkness falling upon us more and more will enter into the Divine Light of God by simply going into silence and awaiting The Divine Light. Let this Light embrace you and guide you. When you become engulfed with it be not afraid even if you later run back to sin. You must proceed slowly and trust in God.

Do not be afraid if you are despised, persecuted and rejected for your belief in God during these extreme times. Walk along the road of contempt for the world and for yourselves and instead embrace love and humility for all of Gods children. Judge no one so you may not be judged. Remember when you point your finger at another three of your fingers point back to you.

You have been betrayed and mislead by those in power. Seek instead the Word and Will of God and all will soon be right. Have confidence and hope for your liberation is near.
