Personal Contemplations: Commentary #6 The Silence before the Battle / The Lady in Black (Prophecy) I would like to thank all of our friends who have expressed concern about our well-being, and who have inquired concerning messages from Our Lady and the Holy Trinity. These past 30 days have been a time of prayer, preparedness, discernment, questions, and concerns in many areas of our personal lives. It has been a time given to us by our Lord to be with Our Lady and with Him. We have had a chance to seek a deeper, more intense and intimate relationship with Our Lady and Our Lord Jesus. Amidst all the evil and turmoil going on throughout the globe, God allowed us to seek him for repentance and for clearer answers to our questions and concerns. Currently, we continue to see Biblical prophecy and private messages (such as those revelations in LaSallete, Akita, Japan, Medugorge and other places authenticated by the Catholic Church) rapidly unfolding before our eyes. We must not forget and must include the prophecies of my many Holy Saints that have given us guidance on these turbulent times, such as those of Saint John Bosco, St Padre Pio, St. John Paul II--- among others. You will notice that all of the messages share a common thread and are serving the mission given to Our Lady by God the Father. Satan continues to colossally embroil the world in evil, but must remain somewhat on the sidelines in readiness to cast the dice against a weary humanity. He cannot be given complete authority for his evil to fully plague mankind until God the Father gives His final permission. Satan’s objective, of course, is to destroy each one of us and to take our souls to hell for eternity. He has a surprise coming when God’s children, through the titanic efforts of Our Lady and the Holy Spirit, will rise up like St. Michael in heaven, uttering that renowned battle cry: “Who is like unto God”? by honoring the ONLY God and Michael’s glorious spirit, with that cry of passion and loyalty: “Who is like unto God”? One of the areas I want to address today is the “spirit of fear”. Understandably, many of us are concerned, apprehensive and fearful for our families, our livelihood and our survival. This is a logical human response to the chaos and turmoil developing around us. However, let us note that “fear” is an entity that has no power over you or me. The only power that “fear” has is the power you give to “it”. Fear can be likened to a tiny cockroach. With God’s grace, rebuke it in Jesus’ name and through the Holy Rosary, and we will be more than conquerors of this crippling entity. God and Our Lady are with us and no evil can hurt us unless we allow it. We are being equipped to be St. Michaels for God as our Lord seeks to train all of us with the grace and power to be warriors against evil. All of us are fully equipped to fight evil, but sometimes we just forget or might feel helpless or unworthy. Remember, we have the name of Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Mother, the saints and God’s angels to assist us in our own personal and spiritual battles. Let us refuse to give the dark world control through our individual fears. If we stand alone with God and the whole world is against us ….we are still in the majority and definitely in the right. I truly believe that these 30 days were days of personal spiritual preparation for each of us. We all feel in our hearts and souls what is ahead of us, but we do not have total knowledge or understanding of the nature and scope of the coming storm. Even the Disciples questioned Jesus regarding the same concerns that we are facing today: As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, ' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:3-13 It is extremely important to remember, as events unfold, that we are not alone. We are all now part of a global family of God’s warriors. Thus, this unity of soul and purpose is the reason we are called to pray for each other, dialogue freely with one another, and to reach out to all that might be walking into the darkness and into mouth of satan. The Lady in Black I will first share with you the story of my first encounter in 1982 with the “Lady in Black”: In 1982, I was selected to be the director to a conference held in San Antonio, Texas called Jesus 82. As we have a great number of Hispanics in Texas, the conference was to be bilingual. We had great anointed speakers from all over the world, such as, Ralph Martin, Mother Angelica, Dr. David du Plessis (Superintendent to World-Wide Pentecostal Church- he was invited by St. Pope John XXIII to be a participant at the Second Vatican Council with the rank of a Catholic Cardinal) and many others. Miraculously, we had almost 18,000 brethren who attended the conference. Since I was director, my duty was to accommodate both the English and the Hispanic participants. Now, being Hispanic, you would think that I spoke fluent Spanish (not so). I avoided giving talks in Spanish because I did not want to embarrass myself when sharing the Word of God---I spoke Tex-Mex, not “real” Spanish! We had taken a lunch break, and the Spanish-speaking presenters were to return back to the stage at 1:00 p.m. I was on time, waiting for the speakers to show up, but no one arrived. We waited 10 minutes, 20 minutes and still no one had arrived. I had to make an executive decision and asked the Lord “what do I do”? He told me very clearly to get up and to tell the people “I love them”. Reluctantly, I did as I was told. As I got to the podium, I started to speak fluent Castilian Spanish. I knew the Lord was at work then! As I was talking, an inner voice told me to jump off the stage in order to pray and bless the people. As I was praying and blessing people, they would fall like the wind blowing gently on a wheat field. There were healings and deliverances taking place because the Holy Spirit was touching the hearts and souls of His people. As I was walking down the aisle doing this, I noticed a small lady, about 5-feet 2-inches, all dressed in black. Her hands were together in prayer, and she was holding a black rosary between her thumbs. I could not see her face but she was dressed completely in black clothing. While the people were gently falling like tender feathers, she stood firm and prayerful. As I continued down the aisle, I kept looking back, and she remained in the same position. After almost 20 minutes of praying and touching people for healing, I came back to the Lady in Black. She had disappeared. Now, why did I share this story with you at this time? At 3:30 a.m. on the morning that the “blood moon” was happening, my eyes simply opened, and I saw the same “Lady in Black”. She shared with me the following message: “My son, the chastisement has already begun. These first signs are the droplets of rain that you are seeing. Sin has almost overtaken the hearts of mankind. I can no longer hold back the hand of my Son. Sadly, the fulfillment of all my messages and revelations are now coming to pass. I have given my beloved children 30 days to prepare themselves spiritually for what is coming upon mankind for its evil and wickedness. I am heartbroken for my children that they have not heeded my warnings and who seek evil instead of my love. There will be many catastrophes throughout the world that have started and will continue to increase. Mankind will be subjected to extreme changes in weather as has never been experienced since the deluge. No one will escape the horror and the darkness of evil. Many will die horrific deaths and my anointed saints will suffer martyrdom. Many will die at the hands of other men. Wars will escalate throughout the world. Famine, droughts, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanos and destruction of cities world-wide is taking place. Coldness and darkness will cover the earth. Evil and sinister men and women have developed man-made plagues and pestilences that will cover the entire world. Plans are in motion for the invasion of many nations. The United States of America will be a primary target. Satan will be given permission to empty his demons from hell. The antichrist will reveal himself very soon. My Refuges throughout the world have already been prepared, but the human eye cannot see them. At the appropriate time, I will open the spiritual eyes of all my children who have heeded my messages and heard my call. Please continue to pray and do not stop praying. I am with each of you and my grace protects you. I am always with you and you will never be abandoned. Seek faith in your prayers, and please place your complete trust in my Son Jesus. We are all the family of God.
I can no longer hold back the Hand of my Lord. I love you and am with you. Pray, pray, pray.” It was not easy to share with all of you what I heard this October, and what I must now share. Many have written and asked when the warning, the chastisement and other events might occur. My response remains the same: let us not worry, but remain in prayer and in a good relationship with Our Lord while we discern our personal preparations and missions. I once asked our Lord when things would take place. I was shown a mountain range. Then, I was asked which mountains were first, second, third, etc. I could not answer. Like those mountain ranges, the events that are coming will be part of the landscape of our time-noticeable but impossible to accurately identify from a distance. Like the biblical bridesmaids, we must now remain vigilant and ready in the darkness. Your brother in Mary and Jesus, John ********************************************** \ Johnnie Hernandez Hernandez – very good friend and visionary Just to let you know that my Spiritual Director has prayed, discerned, and given his permission to send this message out. A few people always want to know if I’m under a Spiritual Director to oversee my ministry. Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2014 2:00 PM To: Johnnie Hernandez Juanito, I just read this very beautiful and necessary message of Mercy and Love. Therefore, know that you have my full endorsement to send it out as soon as possible. As always, may God be glorified and souls sanctified. God love you. Spiritual Director for Johnnie Hernandez On Oct 18, 2014 1:42 PM, "Johnnie Hernandez Hernandez" Padre, Please read and discern the following message JESUS gave to me while I was climbing the mountain, ‘Enchanted Rock” on Monday, October 13th, the Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions. This morning, JESUS asked that I send it to you for your discernment. Please let me know as soon as possible if I should send it out or not. A MESSAGE FROM JESUS: I believe it’s time to share with you what JESUS shared with me while I was in meditation in solitude with Him when I traveled to Texas. Our Vacation, or should I say, my wife’s vacation and our 37th Wedding Anniversary was time most needed for me with JESUS. I took no laptop, limited my phone contacts, and gave all my attention to my wife Sonia, and to my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS the CHRIST. While in my prayerful communication with JESUS, He asked me to climb the Mountain with Him on Monday, October 13th, the Anniversary of Fatima. I drove to Enchanted Rock outside of Fredericksburg, Texas. When we lived in Texas, we used to travel there with our two children. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ench...al-area-fredericksburg#qwn3kirVA-D-5M0_DCxjLg The climb was hard for me because I’m old, out of shape, and did not have the proper hiking shoes I needed. Nevertheless, JESUS accompanied me to the 500 foot summit. The LORD talked most of the two hours it took me to climb and descend, and He allowed me to ask Him questions as well. One of the questions I asked my Savior was about Pope Francis. Why is Pope Francis allowing all this chaos to continue within the Roman Catholic Church; most especially with this Synod on the Family? My Merciful JESUS said: “My little brother, what you are seeing is the beginning of the Passion that the CHURCH must endure before my ‘Second Coming’. The Scriptures must be fulfilled. The cleansing of the Church has to occur before I gather My Remnant for the ‘Era of Peace’. Pray much for My Vicar, Pope Francis. He is being guided by My Spirit and the Blessed Mother, but he needs much prayer from you, the faithful. Satan believes he will finally defeat My Church, but this will never happen. Many complain of My Vicar’s ways of currently leading My Church. Even though it seems as if he is about to betray his Triune GOD and Holy Mother CHURCH; this will not happen. What you are seeing is the final assault of My CHURCH from within. Think back to the vision of Saint John Bosco guiding the Ship between the two pillars; the Pillar of My Eucharist on the right and the Pillar of Mary Most Holy on the left. All the small ships are the Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, Religious, and Laity within the CHURCH attacking My CHURCH through My Vicar. Many articles are being written unjustly against Him. They are wrong in doing so. If they think of themselves as being so holy and faithful to GOD, they should be on their knees praying for My Vicar. My flock should pray for themselves, their Pope, Cardinals, Bishops, Priest, and Religious. They should prepare themselves for the coming Tribulation. They should pray for their seminarians to become good, holy, Marian priests instead of attacking their Pope. Your heartfelt prayers will lessen the Passion that Holy Mother CHURCH must endure. Pray too, that Pope Francis will install the 5th and final Marian Dogma of ‘Co-redemptrix, Advocate, and Mediatrix of all Graces’. Pope Francis is closer to the Blessed Mother than you know. Help him enter into Her Immaculate Heart. Little brother, tell everyone to pray through the Immaculate Heart of our Mother Mary, through Saint Joseph, through Saint Michael. They are your greatest Intercessors in these ‘End Times’. Pray for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to come now so that Mary, who is commissioned by GOD to crush the head of the serpent, satan, will do so very soon. Pray, asking GOD the FATHER that through His great mercy to grant the illumination of conscience for every man, woman, and child above the age of reasoning. This greatest act of GOD’s mercy will usher in the necessary conversions throughout the world. It will lessen the Chastisements necessary to cleanse and purify the world. Tell the faithful to pray for My Vicar. When you attack My Vicar, you attack Me, your Triune GOD. I love you little brother; my death on the Cross is proof of that; Go in My Peace and blessing. My grace is sufficient for you; for all of you, My CHURCH.” Your brother in Jesus and Mary, Johnnie
You know it is not just John who is placing forward massages of the greatest urgency from heaven just at the moment. There is a general consensus of messages from all over the place giving the same urgent warning. Time to get to confession. Time to pray. Time to step back a little. Spiritually bright eyed and bushy tailed !!
I read all of this today before Mass and I think it would be hard for anyone to deny we are in some extraordinary times. As you all know I am a Christian music fan and this song by Matthew West called Strong Enough is in my head today. I know I am not strong enough, but I know who is!
I really love this old clip from the film, 'Sergeant York', with Gary Cooper, it gets me stamping my feet.
Thanks John for sharing your recent message. It is not so much new news, but a reaffirmation of what we have been told before with more urgency. The part that draws my attention was our Lords desire for us to pray rigorously for the 5th dogma to be defined by Pope Francis. Our Blessed mother deserves this acknoledgement. I believe, it is essential in order for the world to know that it is through Mary's actions, that she will crush the head of satan in the very near future. By Holy Father defining this dogma the whole world will here the truth of God's plan. For me it is simply a question of what he will do first, define the final dogma on Mary or consercrate Russia to he Immaculate Heart as requested at Fatima nearly 100 years ago....or perhaps he will do both at the same time!
Interesting...Pope Francis could declare the 5th dogma all by his lonesome, right? But the consecration of Russia must be done in union with all the Bishops. Don't think that unity is possible yet, judging by the Synod.
True. The dogma will be declared Ex Cathedra 'from the chair' of the Pope. The consecration will be done, as you say, in union with whatever bishops remain loyal to him at the time. Seems to me both will be done at the 'last hour', which will bring upon us the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Charlie is convinced that it will take place late in 2017, which does not seem long away, but Pedro Regis' messages say repeatedly "long years of suffering"..... not many, but l-o-n- g.
A new message from Deacon John. 9th Personal Contemplation: The Time is Now! My Dear Friends in Jesus and Mary, It has been awhile since I have shared with you. Now, I have a strong longing to reply to the numerous emails that I have received from so many of you-----fromcountless holy homes and hearts throughout the world.Many of you are concerned (and rightly so) as you witness the unfolding national/world developments. We all seek answers and direction as to what we need to do spiritually and physically to prepare and respond to Our Lord and Blessed Mother as events continue to unfold. In response to what many of you have asked, as to “why have you stopped writing the messages and teachings?”-----I was spiritually directed to wait and allow God’s children to digest information and find individual answers, and topray that each of you wouldsee what is occurring beforeour eyes relative to your individual lives and situations.The Lord wants each of us to grow spiritually and become His warriors,so that when the time comes to “move, act or stay”, we will be open to His message and direction. The first step is always to seek a sincere, deep and openrelationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Seek our Blessed Mother, who is always with us, and we will be protected under Her Immaculate Heart. At this time, the completion of Matthew Chapter 23 is upon us. Matt: 23:8All this is only the beginning of the birth pangs. We are at the end of the birth pangs. Spiritually, I discern one of our tasks now to be fromEzekiel 33: 1: 17 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows, 2 'Son of man, speak to the people of your country. Say to them, "When I send the sword against the people of that country, take one of their number and post him as a watchman; 3 if he sees the sword coming against the country, he must sound his horn to warn the people. 4 If someone hears the sound of the horn but pays no attention and the sword overtakes him and destroys him, he will have been responsible for his own death. 5 He has heard the sound of the horn and paid no attention; his death will be his own responsibility. But the life of someone who pays attention will be secure. 6 "If, however, the watchman has seen the sword coming but has not blown his horn, and so the people are not alerted and the sword overtakes them and destroys a single one of them, that person will indeed die for his guilt, but I shall hold the watchman responsible for his death." 7 'Son of man I have appointed you as watchman for the House of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, warn them from me. 8 If I say to someone wicked, "Evil- doer, you are to die," and you do not speak to warn the wicked person to renounce such ways, the wicked person will die for this guilt, but I shall hold you responsible for the death.9 If, however, you do warn someone wicked to renounce such ways and repent, and that person does not repent, then the culprit will die for this guilt, but you yourself will have saved your life. 10 'Son of man, say to the House of Israel, "You are continually saying: Our crimes and sins weigh heavily on us; we are wasting away because of them. How are we to go on living?"11 Say to them, "As I live -- declares the Lord Yahweh -- I do not take pleasure in the death of the wicked but in the conversion of the wicked who changes his ways and saves his life. Repent, turn back from your evil ways. Why die, House of Israel?" 12 'Son of man, say to the members of your nation, "The uprightness of an upright person will not save him once he takes to wrong-doing; the wickedness of a wicked person will not ruin him once he renounces his wickedness. No one upright will be able to live on the strength of uprightness, having once taken to sinning. 13 If I say to someone upright: You are to live, and then, trusting in this uprightness, he does wrong, none of the uprightness will be remembered; because of the wrong-doing, he will die. 14 If, however, I say to someone wicked: You are to die, and he turns back from sin and does what is lawful and upright,15 if he returns pledges,restores what he has stolen, keeps the laws that give life and no longer does wrong, he will live and will not die. 16 None of his previous sins will be remembered against him; having done what is lawful and upright, he will live.17 "But the members of your nation say: What the Lord does is unjust. But it is what you do that is unjust. 18 When an upright person gives up being uprightand does wrong, he dies for it. 19 And when a wicked person gives up being wicked and does what is lawful and upright, because of this he lives. Friends, the above Scripture is for every one of us. We have a responsibility to share with our family, friends and everyone the urgent information on the current times. Do not allow the spirit of fear or anxiety keep you from being the Guard and Watchman for our families and our country. The tempest and the sword are imminent and world-wide,taking place in all areas and countries of the world. I ask you to take note of the last meeting of world leaders that just took place in Panama. What was their agenda? It is not a “conspiracy” in the true sense, but the fruits ofSatan’s plan to enslave us humans-a plan that has been in motion for over 300 years. I have been praying and discerning regarding developing events as you read this writing.The world is increasinglygoverned by anger, hate, and pride; evil rules around us. The chief exorcist from the Vatican, Father GabrieleAmorth posted the following incisive comment recently onFacebook: “Things first happen in the spiritual realms, then they are made concrete on this earth,” he said in an April 8th post on the social media website. Father Amorthsaid, “there are only two spiritual realms: The Holy Spirit and the demonic spirit.” Cardinal George, former Archbishop of Chicagomuch admired for his insight and courage, died on April 17thof this year. In a column in 2012, he prophetically stated “I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.” The events currently occurring and about to occur havebeen carefully planned in the demonic world for over 300 years; know that all their plans are in place and ready to be exposed. If you desire to know more as to how thistravesty started, I will be happy to send you the history of its beginning---from now to the present my email is johnmartinez1952@austin.rr.com It has started: I ask you to DISCRIMINATE and read the following links very carefully. They will give you information of some ofthe major, bold ways Satan/evil is beginning to manifesthis malevolent plans and strategies. One way we are seeing this expression of evil is operation “Jade Helm”, where the US “military” isconducting exercises that they claim to be routine practices. Junction, Texas (only 60 miles from my home) and severalother communities in Texas were placed under military control, although the population was told that it was all pretend drills. Texas, along with various chosen states,have been labeled as “hostile territory”. This quote from a Texas Big Spring resident describes the surreal atmosphere: “This is happening now. The troops are already arriving in April for something that doesn't happen until June! Troops are already jogging in formation through the streets of Big Spring holding AR 15s right now! Very Weird! “ Continued...
Continued from prior message: Operation Jade Helm: Several media networks have noted that the militaryhas, at least temporarily, delayed the operationbased on thewidespread outcry, including clamor in Stars & Stripes, Army Times and the Houston Chronicle. It’s also worth noting that the military has routinely launched exercises in the past in which regions of the United States are identified as hostile for the purpose of “training”. Similarly, consider Bold Alligator, a naval exercise in which thousands of marines and sailors were involved. The most recent version was launched last fall, and included amphibious landings to prevent “insurgent” groups in the fictional country known as Garnet — Georgia and part of Florida in real life — from launching attacks. www.washingtonpost.com © 1996-2015 The Washington Post Read more at:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...deemed-HOSTILE-massive-military-exercise.html. Also, there are attachments related to Jade Helm that follow this commentary. Next, consider the closing of Five Walmarts across different states, suddenly and without notice to employees, at the same time: Read more at:https://www.intellihub.com/are-the-...d-to-detention-centers-for-american-citizens/ Finally, examine information regarding ISIS running training camps on the Texas border:8-Miles from Texas Border! Judicial Watch, the Washington watchdog that monitors the government, released a news report warning that ISIS is running a camp just a few miles from the Texas border. The self-declared Islamic State, also known as ISIS and ISIL, has ragedacross huge swaths of Syria, Iraq, even Africa, and has repeatedly threatened the American homeland. Apparently, they are closer than we think!

One of these truth-speakers is Charlie Johnston, and I highly recommend you read his articles, especially the current writings on current/futureevents:https://charliej373.wordpress.com/ However, let’s all exercise much thoughtfulness and discrimination in seeking “truth”, and guard our minds and hearts, as there are certainly false seers and visionaries. Sadly, some may be seeking and building their own kingdom, and may become angry when questioned. Some may want attention or may have undue pride. I highly encourage you to read this article from Spirit Daily, written by Michael Brown: “BEHIND 'FALSE' APPARITIONS CAN BE NOT JUST DELUSION BUT INTENSE EVIL SPIRITS”.http://www.spiritdaily.com/. Let us stay strong, courageous and united in prayer to our Jesus and Mary, John
New message from John Martinez 11th - Personal Contemplation About Our Holy Father: Pope Francis …… My Dear Friends, I thank all of you for your prayers and emails. I have been delighted to continue meeting and communicating with many of you from different parts of our country. We are truly a widespread but cherished community of believers, sharing, listening, lifting each other up through the stormsthat are now slowly but clearly assailing all of us. Please know that it is not that I do not wish to writeregularly. From the very beginning of my calling, I havebeen called to be the Watchman (Ezekiel 33: 1 – 33) andlookout for our God. I can only write as directed by Him---to make you aware of major spiritual events as they unfold. It was the Holy Spirit who baptized me with His Love and has blessed me with several of His gifts. It was Jesus, in the form of a little white lamb, who introduced me to Our Blessed Mother. She then took me aside,patiently teaching me and showing me many futuristic events that would occur. For over 34 years, I have been obedient to God and to Our Lady. Please know that I am asimple,lowly and imperfect messenger whom God the Father has called. I am allowed to write only when I am directed to do so as the times begin to unfold (Matthew 24: 1- 51). One of the first teachings that I was given from Our Blessed Mother was that part of my future mission was to share her immense, incomprehensible love for all of her children. She also instructed me to tell my fellow brethren throughout the world that she has had been placed in charge by God the Father to prepare us spiritually for the coming chastisement. I’m clearly not the exclusive recipient of this information; she has appeared in many church-approved apparitions to warn us precisely about these times, and to assure us that Her Immaculate Heart was our “Refuge”. She emphasized to me that I would need to carefullyDISCERN everything in my spiritual journey. She allowed me to see the evil that satan has placed in the hearts and minds of God’s children, and has expressed her pain and tears atthe suffering that Her Son Jesus has endured. The pestilence of evil that satanhas unleashedupon mankind, who has willingly cooperated with his trickery,is leading usto that“Final Battle”. She shared that thousands of good men and women had been chosen by the Holy Spirit to help Herbuild an army of warriors to fight the tough spiritual battlesupon us and those severe teststo come. She also warned me that there were many deceitful sons ofsatan that have and will continue trying to sowdeception and confusion among God’s children. In Her teachings, she emphasized the need todiscern andpray.She indicated that the “signs” that I needed to look for would come from three different sources: 1.) The Holy Father 2.) Jerusalem/Israel and 3.) Her apparitions in Medjugore. By watching these three indicators, I would see God the Father’s plans begin to unfold. As I discern the occurrences of the last month and pray, I feel called to ask each of you: PleasePray for Pope Francis and his mission. Lately, the Holy Father has been intensely attacked;some have accused him of misleading our Catholic Church and distorting our faith. Yet, Pope Francis has been given to us by God Himself. Please….we must not join forces with those individuals that are being deceived by satan, the evil one who wants to bring division, deception and falsewords to all of us. Our Lady has directed us to PRAY for Pope Francis andfor the completion and fruition of the work that he was given to him by God. We must not disparagethe toughwork he has before him, but assist him spiritually with our prayers. Yes, there are those around him in high places of authority that are responsible for discord, deception,confusion and strife within the church leadership. We must continue to stand for what is right and not obsess or become consumed by this battle----a battle that is Our Lord’s to fight and win. Only He can conquer this; we cannot. Many prophecies deal with the very clash currently occurring within our church. For example, this shaking of our church was prophesied in an approved apparition by the Roman Catholic Church in Akita, Japan: THE MESSAGE OF OUR LADY OF AKITA (1973 - 1981) The first message received by Sister AgnesKatsukoSasagawa on June 6, 1973, was a call for prayer and sacrifice for the glory of the Father and salvation of souls. The second message, August 3, 1973, was for prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices to soften the Father's anger. The third message on October 13, 1973, the actual anniversary of the final visions and miracle of Fatima is as follows: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. "The demon will rage especially against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them." Sister Lucia of Fatima also had a vision of the Holy Father: “The seers then saw in the unapproachable light of God a reflection of someone who, Lucia says, "we had the impression . . . was the Holy Father." With the pope were others climbing a mountain to a rough-hewn cross. Mountains are traditional places where man meets with God, the difficult process of ascending the mountain suggesting the perseverance required to follow God. The ruggedness of the cross depicted in the vision evokes the harshness of the sufferings of Christ and those who share in his sufferings. The journey of the pope and those with him through the half-ruined city suggests that the Church must pass through the destruction that accompanies war, and it evokes the suffering of the pontiff in witnessing this destruction but being unable to stop it. This reflects the experience of many twentieth-century popes.” Our Lady is asking us to support the Holy Father,regardless of what you see in some of the media or read via emails being circulated by detractors of Pope Francis. I repeat: Pope Francis is our rightful leader and has been appointed by God himself. Satan is trying to bring division and discredit His Holiness through various means. This isall part of satan’s strategies----schemes that are unfolding as we get closer and closer to the storm Please Pray for Pope Francis. Your brother in Christ, John Martinez
I'm sure that is why the Pope asks everyone he talks to and meets to pray for him. He knows what's coming soon. And he needs all the help he can get!
There is a plenary indulgence offered after every Holy Mass if you kneel down and pray "For the intentions of our Holy Father and for his protection". Then One Our Father, One Hail Mary and a St. Michael the Archangel prayer. I've been doing it for years. Sometimes I add a Glory Be....
I don't know about the indulgence part but more than a few times a day:..... Lord, I pray for My Comrades in Faith especially for those who are doing their best to bring Me to You. Amen!! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Yes as a child I was thought that but also say ' prayer before a crucifix' Behold O good and most sweet Jesus I cast myself upon my knees in thy sight etcetera.
New message #12 Dear Friends, We all have questions concerning our personal responsibilities, roles and duties as we approach the Great Battle. Many are concerned as to what to do or where to go; we might be distressed about our children and families, or we may wonder about the refuges or have other nagging questions. In emails and communications, many of you have expressed these very normal and legitimate thoughts, concerns and feelings as we approach the coming tribulations. Yet, this is a time to earnestly seek guidance and direction from the Holy Spirit and Our Blessed Mother. This past Thursday at 10:00pm (CT), I brought these concerns to Our Lord before the Blessed Sacrament at our parish, St. Mary’s Catholic Church. I asked the Lord for help and support for all His children who are pleading for direction and guidance. At approximately 10:15pm I felt the presence of our Lady, who with a beautiful and gentle voice, greeted me with unconditional love. In this locution, she appeared as Our Lady of Fatima, confirming that the time has come for her apostles and spiritual warriors to focus on the task that has been given to us by the grace and love of the Father: the formation of her Remnant. The “Remnant” are those of us believers who will come forward and stand up for God as Saint Michael once did in the heavens. She indicated that she is aware of all the suffering and pain that her children are currently experiencing, and she stretched out her hands for graces to go forth to all of us. She asked me to relate to you the following message: “Tell my children not to be afraid, for I am with them. Even if things seem hopeless and beyond help, hold fast to your faith in God, as He has been your protector since He gave you life. Satan will lie and try to convince you to turn away from God, but his trickery, treachery, deception and evil will be coming to an end. I would like for each of my children to make a sincere commitment and truly consecrate their lives to my Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Son will richly bless them and the Holy Spirit will come upon them. Then, I would desire that those of my children that feel a calling from Our Lord, to come forward in faith, and place their complete trust in God the Father. He is commissioning thousands of His children throughout the world with a special grace for these times. The Holy Spirit and I will be alongside each of them. At this time, my request is for my children to form prayer groups in their homes. I want my dear children to invite friends and family to meet in prayer and in fellowship. Do not be afraid of what to do or how to start; however, before you begin, I am asking each of you to discern and pray before my Son in the Blessed Sacrament about this great task. Then, I desire that you begin your preparation by Fasting or Prayer for three Days by focusing on the task that you are about to take. Reflect on your relationship with My Son. Come before the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Spirit will speak to your hearts as to what to do. Pray about a group leader, someone who you feel in your hearts will direct you in this task, then, select a day to meet once a week as there must always be order and harmony in your group. Do not be discouraged if only a few of those invited come, for the Holy Spirit will open doors and guide you. Invite those whom God has placed in your hearts, and let your prayer groups be open to non-Catholics, fallen-away Catholics and even non-believers. God’s call is for all. Always start by giving praise and glory to the Holy Trinity. Follow with the Rosary and read Holy Scripture to one another, but do not compromise the teachings and doctrine of your Catholic faith. I am asking you, my son (John), to be available to help all my children, regardless of state, country, denomination or distance. You are to teach others what I have taught you from the beginning of your calling. Be at peace, my beloved children, for you are one of many threads that will form my Remnant. Many of you are ready, and have been waiting for direction from Heaven. Always give all glory, praise and honor to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Pray, pray and pray.” "So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace." Romans 11:5 About My Teachings from Our Blessed Mother From the beginning, my instructions and training from Our Blessed Mother were to prepare me for these times. There are some areas that I have already shared in our writings; other areas I am shown and will understand as God’s plan unfolds. Other parts of His plan I was not shown, or if shown aspects of it, must wait to see if or until the Lord is ready to reveal it. As I have previously shared, it took 34 years of private revelations (with the exception of my Spiritual Director) until I was permitted to share aspects of the coming storm in August of 2014. I have experienced much in my journey, and I was happy to know that Our Lady and the Holy Spirit are now touching the hearts of thousands of our brethren throughout the world. Our Lady has indicated to me that I am to teach, proclaiming God’s word as a humble servant of God. My lessons have not been from books but from life-sharing experiences. Part of my mission is to know and accept that I personally have control of nothing, but to trust in Him, confident that my life and service belongs to God alone. He is in control of all, and I trust Him and only Him. One of several tasks of my personal mission is to help each of you as you start a home-based prayer group, if you pray and feel called to do so. I have attached information from the early Catholic Church (at the end of this contemplation), which was started in homes by simple, God-loving Christians who were guided by the Holy Spirit. Of course, the times of the early Church are different from today. Today, Our Lady is preparing us to fight the Storm that is upon us, but with her magnificent help and support. The United States has never experienced the full assault of a physical war. We have been blessed by God and He has protected our homeland from the horrific assaults of coast to coast war in our land (even our civil war was limited). But, this blessing will not last. The troubles that are coming will be world-wide, and no country will be exempt. This will be a battle with evil itself, and the world will experience the full pestilence of Satan's demons. It will be both natural and supernatural. A global war is coming, but do now allow dispair to consume you. Always have hope for God has a better plan for the world, and you are a crucial part of His plan. And who is the remnant so talked about in the Bible and so readily discussed these days? Throughout His Word, God has made it clear that He would foster a group of people, those He would bring to Himself, a true people who would obey Him, trust Him and follow Him. Consider these scriptural verses: Isaiah 1:9 If the LORD of hosts had not left us a small remnant, we would have become as Sodom, would have resembled Gomorrah. Revelation 19:10 I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t! I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brothers who bear witness to Jesus. Worship God. Witness to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” The true remnant church of God obey Him and keep His commandments, and they have the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 14:12 Here is what sustains the holy ones who keep God’s commandments and their faith in Jesus...' The Remnant Church will not just have faith in Jesus, they will be keeping the faith of Jesus. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. John 15:10. Thus, we are the remnant, the church of Christ, the keepers of the faith. I ask you to pray for me so that I can give my all to the mission and service to God through Our Blessed Mother. Those of us answering the call by Our Lady and the Holy Spirit will be protected under her mantle. Thus, the reason for the start of home-based prayer groups and the coming together of the Remnant. In the addendum, I have included information pertinent to home-based prayer groups. My dear friends, I will continue to write on this subject in the coming days. If anyone has questions, concerns or thoughts, I will be happy to visit with you regarding prayer groups in your home. You can email me atjohnservantofGod@austin.rr.com or you can call me at 1-830-456-9608. Your brother in Jesus, John Continued...
