The Plot Thickens. There's much more going on here than meets the eye. Egypt says it warned Israel days before but was ignored. "Egypt warned Israel days before Hamas struck, US committee chairman says "I don't want to get too much into classified, but a warning was given," the Texas Republican added. "I think the question was at what level." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67082047
Pinchas Lapide in Three Pope and the Jews, about Pope Ven. Pius XII, falsely stigmatized as a "Nazi Sympathizer" by Communist Liars and Slanderers, whereas who actually saved nearly 1 MN Jewish Lives. Pinchas Lapide is himself a Jewish Scholar. Here is the Jewish Virtual Library: " The vindication of Pius XII has been established principally by Jewish writers and from Israeli archives. It is now established that the Pope supervised a rescue network which saved 860,000 Jewish lives - more than all the international agencies put together. After the war the Chief Rabbi of Israel thanked Pius XII for what he had done. The Chief Rabbi of Rome went one step further. He became a Catholic. He took the name Eugenio." https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/860-000-lives-saved-the-truth-about-pius-xii-and-the-jews PPXII should be Canonized. Pope Pius XI's Prayer for the Jews and the Human Race: "Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd. Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism, and refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once thy chosen people. Of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Saviour; may It now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life. Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and honor forever. Amen." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Consecration_to_the_Sacred_Heart_of_Jesus
100%agree. We must always remember the Jewish people gave us Mary and Joseph and Jesus Himself. All the 12 Apostles. The first martyr. The list goes on.
https://onepeterfive.com/messianic-prophecies-evangelization/ "A final prophecy — the Church’s mission to old Israel will ultimately succeed in the end! As St. Benedict’s Center shows, the apostles and fathers have prophesied the return of the Jewish people to Christ one day: The Old Testament contains several prophecies of the end-times conversion of the Jews. The Prophet Osee says this: “The children of Israel shall sit many days without king and without prince and without sacrifice, and without altar, and without ephod and without theraphim. And after this the children of Israel shall return, and shall seek the Lord their God and David their king: and they shall fear the Lord, and His goodness in the last days” (Osee 3:4-5). There are two parts to this prophesy. The first is that the Jews will be without king, prince, sacrifice, altar, ephod, and theraphim. This is a reference to the loss of civil kingship and sacrificing priesthood among the Jews. Regarding this part of the prophecy, Saint Augustine comments, “Who is there who does not see in this a portrait of the present state of the Jewish people?” The second part of the prophecy involves the return of the Jews, about which, Saint Augustine says this: “Nothing can be clearer than this prophecy, in which David stands for Jesus Christ [since He], says the Apostle, is born of the line of David, according to the flesh” (cited in The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jewish Nation, by Father Denis Fahey, pgs. 101-2) … Saint Cyril of Alexandria says this: “Towards the end of time, Our Lord Jesus Christ will effect the reconciliation of His former persecutor Israel with Himself. Everybody who knows Holy Scripture is aware that, in the course of time, this people will return to the love of Christ by the submission of faith[.] … Yes, one day, after the conversion of the Gentiles, Israel will be converted, and the Jews will be astonished at the Treasure they will find in Christ. (Commentary on Genesis, Bk. 5) Let us pray and work for this conversion!"
"8,000 Bombs? 3 days ago, IDF reported having already dropped 6,000 bombs on Gaza. How many thousands more has it dropped since? Do you really think every one of the 7, 8, 9 thousand bombs was targeted at a Hamas hideout or command center, or a rocket launcher? WAKE UP, AMERICA! Do you really think that IDF has that quantity of intelligence at that granular a level--that every one of those thousands of bombs has a terrorist's name on it? It's not possible! Or reasonable. And certainly not if you believe the narrative that Israel was caught by surprise & had no foreknowledge of the initial attack. They're just carpet bombing innocent civilians.

God promised that he would also make Ishmael's descendants a great nation. Then, I wonder if many Muslims will convert to the Church even before the Jews. The woman of Revelation 12 has the moon under her feet (possible defeat of the false Islamic religion); moreover, divine providence feeds her in the desert. This is reminiscent of the story of Hagar, whom God caused a miraculous spring to spring up in the desert.
It is Satanic. Jesus told us that the love of money is the root of all evil. If the info in the link I posted is as accurate as it appears to be, it goes some way to explaining why Israel needed Hamas. There was gas off the coast of Palestine near Gaza. The Palestinians had a deal that would give them half the profits. Two billion dollars would have made the Palestinians financially independent, and the British would have a financial interest. Hamas gets elected, the Israelis say they can't tolerate Hamas getting the profits from the gas, the Brits negotiate with Israel, excluding the Palestinians and Israel invades Gaza. A Palestinian state with oil and gas profits freeing them from dependence on foreign aid wasn't in the interests of Israel and its allies. Of course, the various Muslim countries have also used and abused the Palestinians. Nobody holds the high moral ground there. The more is revealed about the shady dealings in the region, the more Satanic it looks.
Our Lord later revealed to Sr. Lucia that the reason for the five first Saturdays is because of the five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary: 1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception. 2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity. 3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, refusing at the same time recognize Her as the Mother of men. 4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of the Immaculate Mother. 5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. Here My daughter, is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this little act of reparation…and in consideration of it, to move My mercy to pardon souls who have had the misfortune of offending Her. As for you, always seek by your prayers and sacrifices to move My mercy to pity for these poor souls.”
Brave man https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...offers-be-exchanged-gaza-hostages-2023-10-16/ VATICAN CITY, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Pope Francis' representative in the Holy Land said on Monday he was willing to exchange himself for Israeli children taken hostage by Hamas and held in Gaza. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, made his comment in response to a question during a video conference with journalists in Italy. "I am ready for an exchange, anything, if this can lead to freedom, to bring the children home. No problem. There is total willingness on my part," he said. "The first thing to do is to try to win the release of the hostages, otherwise there will be no way of stopping (an escalation). We are willing to help, even me personally," he said. He stressed, however, that he and his office had not yet had any direct contact with Hamas, the militant Islamist group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,300 people. "You can't talk to Hamas. It is very difficult," he said. About 200 people were taken hostage and about a dozen of them are believed to be children. Pizzaballa oversees Roman Catholic activities in Israel and the Palestinian territories as well as Jordan and Cyprus, a region which is home to an estimated 300,000 Roman Catholics. Diplomatic efforts have been intensifying to get aid into Gaza as Israel prepares a ground invasion to destroy Hamas. Authorities in Gaza said at least 2,750 people had so far been killed by the Israeli strikes, a quarter of them children, and nearly 10,000 wounded. Another 1,000 people were missing and believed to be under rubble.
