Through prophesy we know there is great sufferings in store for the church (you and me and the Catholic Church as a whole). However, we also know through prophesy that there will be many conversions and also the Christian churchs shall unite (even foretold by Our Lord Himself in scripture ). John 10:16.........even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.16"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.17"For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. These different prophesies are the two sides of the same coin! The sufferings of the church go hand in hand with its renewal! God is warning us of coming chastisments but He is also giving us reassurance of His continued presence and all this will not be for naught. How could it be? God is pure Goodness and Love. When evil abounds so too, do great graces from God! It makes sence that both must happen side by side. There is much hope and many graces in store for the church.
God bless these people. They have such mercy in their hearts. I will pray for them, and make a donation. Thanks for sharing this. I prefer to donate to actual people who are doing God's work now, than to an organization, which may or may not be helping those in need. And God Bless Mother of God for participating as a way to make these efforts known.
I featured Quis ut Deus' request on my site yesterday. I had a couple of notes asking if a wasn't facilitating a soft invasion of Europes by Muslims - particularly when in Dallas last month, I adamantly said that tight screening processes must be put in place and the Arab World must be pressed to take in many of the refugees - for there is an invasion involved here. Here is how I made the call: I looked up news information on the work Joby is doing. The people he rescues are largely families Mom, Dad and children. In southern Europe, the huge columns of refugees are about 90% comprised of young males. Those are not primarily refugees, but an invading force. When I saw that Joby was rescuing families, I was pleased to highlight and support his efforts. Faith, family and freedom - those are my watchwords....and family is at the center.
I like the way Charlie that you teach - easy to remember phrases, which is good as I have a terrible memory for verse. My Dad has memorised over 100 poems verbatim and he is 75. I cannot even recite one and I am 52!! Acknowledge God, Take the next right step and be a sign of hope to those around you: Faith, family, freedom (with family at the centre). Europe will die but be resurrected through faith, family and freedom.
Joby and others have been flooded with loads and loads of hate mail today and he is thinking of giving up his Aid Work. Please pray for all these good people. So sad, Hatred breeds hate.
God bless us an save us. Why would anyone want to hate mail someone who wants to risk their own safety to help others. One might not be on board with his cause; but he deserves respect for stepping up to the plate, and being a real man in an effeminate culture.
I am deeply sorry to hear that some are focusing their anger on Joby. But the hate mail will pass - the good he has done from a generous spirit will endure.
Thank you Padraig for the prayers, yesterday was indeed an extremely difficult spiritual and mental roller coaster, It is very hard after such evil to show the world that what Joby and others are doing is the right thing, Joby is intending to head back to greece in the next day or two I think he needs to do this for himself as trying to convince the world to help can be exhausting.. As I stood on the sideline I could clearly see how satan's plans unfolded hour by hour, Isis had not just one victory yesterday but many, it succeeded not only in murder and terror of the french people it also achieved terrorising the people who had fled them and also the people who are helping those that have fled but this evil is very clever it used the people against the people by spreading hate,, God help all of us here we have a very big battle ahead of us, we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit to show us the truth and the wisdom to overcome the evil enemy..
Please have him contact Glenn Beck's charity for this cause. It's called the Nazarene fund. He might be able to direct money that he is raising through his organization for this exact cause.. Many folks are making monthly donations to fund this project. Glenn may be able to help in a big way . We cannot turn our backs on these poor souls! Some things are out of our hands to control....this is not one of them. They are desperate....and we can help. It's one of those crises that Cries out to God for us to show mercy through our charity. Joey might want to contact: http://www.glennbeck.com/2015/09/09/the-nazarene-fund-frequently-asked-questions Glenn Beck's organization is screening these folks in a big way....making sure that the funds are used to help Christian victims!! Be assured that they know what they are doing!
"I would like, when the time comes, to have a space of clearness that would allow me to beg forgiveness of God and of my fellow human beings, and at the same time to forgive with all my heart the one who will strike me down." Thank you Padraig his story and above quote gave me great strength today I hope that this strength is infectious to Joby and others when we meet later today..
Thank you for the link Beth, I have made contact with Glenn and await his reply ..Please God God Bless you John
I donated to Glenn Beck's Fund as soon as I heard about it! As I have said before!: "Yeah! He is one of those awful Mormons! Ya Know!! ... So much worse than the "Catholics" who vote for the Political Parties of Abortion, Sexual Perversion and godless Socialism every two years!" ..... Right!!?? GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Praying they can help! Because of the attacks in Paris, he is worried that folks will not continue to support this....people need to understand that they are helping Christians who are being killed by ISIS! They need to understand that they are also coming for us! Pray for our world!
Wow Pope Francis arrives in Greece to visit Lesbos camp http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36060360 I hope Joby and the entire crew of volunteers are inspired,encouraged and blessed by Pope Francis visit. Amen..
I hope and pray he keeps safe. Offering up mass for himself and all the poor immigrants; I understand they have even the children under lock and key now. That can't be good.
Amazing!!! Pope Francis has taken 12 refugees back home on the plane with him to live in the Vatican. What an astonishing, wonderful act. Bless him and this will do the reputation of the Church wonders, maybe the best act so far of his Poniticate. Ten gold stars. I am so proud to be a Catholic when I hear this. Mr Wonderful, lost in admiration. Best Pope ever. Wow!! The Church will reap huge Kudos for this. I am sure this was not his intent but this will set the entire world by its ears. Superb. Brilliant, awesome act of charity. My hero. You just can't argue with spontaneous charity like this, the work of a saint, someone very close to God. Wow!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36063300
