    Indeed I can.
    The book most widely read on Agenda 21 is "Behind the green mask".
    I read it and even though the book could easily have been written using only half the pages (it dragged on), it was still very informative.
    Also, I recommend a YouTube search. There's hours upon hours of stuff there for free that would probably tell you as much as all the books out there.

    MS7 I could have written 90% of that - and I haven't even hit menopause... I think!
    If it's any help swap 'worthless' for 'unprofitable' and you know you're serving the Lord!
    Sometimes this forum feels like No Man's Land with wounded soldiers limping out to help even more wounded soldiers back to safety. :notworthy:

    I was thinking the other day, that I have been speaking over the past 30 years, of Fatima and trying my best to educate family, friends, faith formation classes and anyone who I think might listen to heavens messages. I just dawned on me that I have been pretty much a failure in my evangelization efforts. Of all the people I have tried to reach, I can pretty much count on one hand the number of people that have taken heaven's messags, listened and changed their lives dramatically. A few have changed, but still do not attempt to fullfull our Lady of Fatima's request for daily rosary and wearing of the brown scapular or monthly confession (as if it was just a whimper from Mary with little to no significance). Most continue to live and act as if they have never heard of or could care less about heavens messages in the past 200 years. I cannot understand how others, unlike myself, were not set a blaze with an overwhelming desire for the sacred once enlightened to truth. I do not feel I was special then or now. Why was I transformed by the Fatima message and few others? I may never understand this mystery or the mystery how so many others whom I have tried to light on fire, remain as indifferent as can be. I feel such pitty for these souls or walking deadmen. To me this is the apsostasy that scripture speaks of. "Will there be anyone left to have faith when Jesus returns?" I believe the answer is few, unless the Warning has a massive effect on souls who are now asleep.

    It seems a miracle like the warning is really the last, the only, hope we all have. Looking at the crowed abortion pro death rally's, the fact that all, ALL, my peers are atheists, only a by sold miracle can we hope to turn things around.

  5. Glenn Beck has an excellent video or two on youtube. You can listen while you surf the web or whatever.

    It's a good thing Our God is the God of the greatest miracles. He is always in complete control! It is always darkest before the dawn and right now we are still at twilight waiting for the sun still to set on everything we used to know.

    F, I have had a similar experience...albeit just decade of efforts, mostly met with blank stares, and the looks as if I'm a cracked pot. I don't know if a single seed has taken root. But if I'm silent about this most important thing, I fail Our Lady, and those The Lord puts in front of me. I'll continue to try to bring the Truth of Fatima to any that will tolerate me...most worldly conversations bore me anyway.

    Mother Teresa said, "The Lord didn't call me to be successful - He called me to be faithful."

    It can be so frustrating not seeing any results in our efforts to promote the faith. But hold onto you hats. When this storm breaks out in full force, and especially after the illumination of conscience, those of us who've been living our faith in full view of the world will likely find the harvest coming straight to our door. What an amazing time to be alive!

    This is important because there is a strong temptation these days, for me anyway, to withdraw from the world completely, rather than live my faith in full view of it. On Sunday our priest closed his homily by giving us an exercise based on the gospel reading; he told us to go home and look in the mirror and ask ourselves "who do people say that I am?" That got me thinking!

    Kathy K,
    you are so right so its important to be ready. Have a stock of rosary beads, holy medals and books. Every time I go to Medjugorje I add to my warehouse of religious goods. Every drawer is stuffed. Family used to think I was nuts but now they are listening and reading as the world grows darker. My daughter recently brought home her new boyfriend. None of his family go to Mass and I was not too impressed but he has resumed Mass since he met my daughter. Maybe its just to impress her but I think its my job to pray for him and his family which I am doing. I think Charlie Johnstone Has a very good slogan ' Take the next right step and be a sign of hope'. The world really needs witnesses to hope so away with negativity. God will WIN.

    My mother was dead set against me marrying my now husband - he was / is a non-practicing Anglican.
    Now I understand why she was against it, but at the time i didn't appreciate her stance.
    But we married, I grew in faith - probably more so than if I was married to a man with a faith stronger than mine (I'm pig-headed.)
    And I am very aware that his conversion depends heavily on my acknowledging God, my taking right steps even if they are only one at a time, and my being a sign of hope.
    Charlie Johnston sums it up so well for me :) - now I have words for what I felt in my heart.
    And the responsibility of being that light or sign of hope helps me to take more 'righter' steps than if I was only worried about my own miserable self (natural inclination is that I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb!)
    But I am very aware that the prayers of those that have gone before me have contributed greatly to my 'seeing the light', so definitely keep praying MaryRose - you may be the only person praying for that man and his family.

    Rick Wiles announced today that he will cease broadcasting the Trunews radio program within the next 30-60 days. He cited Isaiah 26: 20-21:

    Come, my people, enter your chambers,
    And shut your doors behind you;
    Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
    Until the indignation is past.
    For behold, the Lord comes out of His place
    To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
    The earth will also disclose her blood,
    And will no more cover her slain.

    He said the American public has checked out of reality and is living in an alternate state of reality. Rick also said that the Remnant Church doesn’t need more news and information. He said they need to be nourished by eating the Body and Blood of Jesus, and the Word of God. Rick said he is not going off the air…but merely putting “Trunews” on the shelf for a season. Rick promised to broadcast a new type of radio program that is totally focused on Jesus. As a watchman, he said the Lord is telling him to come off the wall and go inside the storm shelter. The storm is here.

    He said he was told by the Lord, "The people don't need any more news. The storm is here." That's exactly what I'm hearing in prayer.

    Exactly what I am feeling too. Time to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm quietly in fasting and prayer.

    I am more amazed at the choice of words from Rick. How else can you eat the the Body and Blood of Jesus unless you are Catholic. What a message to his followers:

    He said they need to be nourished by eating the Body and Blood of Jesus, and the Word of God.

    Exactly what I am feeling led to do as well. Ignore the news (my feeling there it's that it's all noise now and it's "too late" for us to do anything about it). The news just disturbs my peace and mission to get myself and my family spiritually right. I am keeping an eye on the news, but just glancing at headlines to make sure no major event is breaking.

    I even feel like at work I am wasting time that I should be spending on spiritual and physical preparations. Lots of dots being connected in our local Catholic parish lately, have talked to three new families at length and in detail just this past week who all feel the same urgent need to prepare. Keep reaching out to those around you, we need to be in communities to ride out the storm, not alone.

    Mystery of iniquity, as St Paul said. The Spirit of anti-Christ.

    2 Thessalonians 2:7

    The Man of Sin
    6And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;…
