Money. The root of all evil. QUOTE="AED, post: 423659, member: 4896"]It is a HUGE money maker. Some MD's are on video saying as much. Sickening.[/QUOTE]
At 3:36 pm, right now, there is a media set-up getting ready to have a press conference. There is a shelter in place order/ evacuation at the US Senate Building. This may have been the result of a false 911 call. Awaiting further info.
Anyone else feel disoriented? I rarely recognise the world anymore it has changed too much since I was a child. ITV used a man in a news-piece calling him a 'Mum' struggling to pay the water bills If it keeps going this way I would prefer that God takes me home to heaven (via purgatory), I cannot cope anymore with this insanity. I feel like I am living in a Monty Python sketch. God help us all.
It is hard, I agree. I thank God my parents are not alive as I suspect it would be much , much harder on them than for my own generation. I find for myself also keeping myself as much to myself is a big help. I don't really do social media much these days apart from friends and family on Whatsapp. I did used to do Face Book but have long since given up. There is no way I would argue with a self deluded nut either on the net or face to face. If they are that gone I don;t think arguing will bring them back. I also keep myself very much to myself and keep up a good spiritual life and prayers. This helps a lot. I suppose if we can have a good sens of humour about it all would help a lot. These folks are so dead, dead serious about it all. The new Puritans. They remind me of the devil in this; he also has no funny bone. It's funny you mention dying. For the very first time in my life the though occurred to me the other day. What if God were to come to me and say He did not mind what way I choose, if I was offered the chance to die and go home and God was happy no matter which I choose would I choose to die? For the very first time in my life my heart lurched towards wanting death. This is so unlike me. I live a very, very happy, cool life which I enjoy a lot. Every day I wake up I naturally thank God for the great gift of another day. But when I felt that question in my heart, yes, I felt a strong lurch to say, yes, I'd like to leave now. But perhaps this is simply a natural part of getting older and letting go. Or again perhaps it is part of Prophecy and knowing what is heading towards us all down the line very shortly. It is no joke. Or again perhaps as you say it is a little bit to do with feeling like a visitor in a lunatic asylum. Or again it my simply be the Lord reminding me that we are pilgrims. But I have found switching of the noise is a biog help. I feel nowadays like some who is living in another age anther world. It helps I think that people are inclined to make allowances for my age for being so out of sync. But if I do die I will die with a smile on my face, with no despair or anger. I feel a deeps sympathy for people , especially young people who are caught up in all this. Sympathy, not anger .
The only way to keep away from this horrible disorientation is to create a kind of desert of the mind. Dont look at "news" and dont read it. Keep your thoughts and your eyes fixed on Our Lady and Jesus. Get to adoration as often as you can. We are living in times where the insane are running the world. Jesus is the Rock. Chain yourself to Him with the golden chain of your Rosary. This is how i see it anyway. And make the horror and confusion of it all a sacrifice for the conversion of sinners. Our Lady has your back Bobby. Or as they say in the Marines--"she's got your six"
Fr Mark Goring had a good video recently on doing this, called holy obliviousness and how the saints who went out to the desert didn't have TVs or internet and weren't aware of the latest scandals all over the world. So all of their attention could be focused on Heaven. But I totally get how you feel Garabandal! On a kind of related subject, I was listening to a talk about Joan of Arc recently about her trial. One of the accusations against her was that she wore men's clothing and was going around looking like a man. When she was in jail, they made her sign a document promising not to wear men's clothes but men's clothing was the only thing available to her except going naked I guess so when they caught again in men's wear, she was labelled a rebel or heretic. Isn't it interesting how this was a topic back then too? Not in the same way, but what she did was totally shocking for the everyone at the time, On a sadder note I saw this tragic article recently. We musn't forget to have compassion for people who are so misled, maybe it's easier to do this if we go to the desert and foget the images on TV which are shocking and presented to divide us.
When Jesus was tempted in the desert, He eschewed all that the devil had to offer. The devil is still offering it to the people of this world.
I must ratchet up prayer for these poor sufferers. In my total focus on the souls entrusted to me I forget the terrible crosses and sufferings out there. We can offer them to Jesus on behalf of those who don't know to offer them.
I have been pondering just that recently. But being careful to explain to God that His will be done not mine; nevertheless adding that if he wanted to take me, I'd be happy enough to go. Then I remember my wife and children. And I decide that I'm better off just leaving it to himself. Tho if it were just me, I'd go. No bother.... No bother at all.
From Dr.Mercola. They want to control our health and supplements. “ We also discuss a new Canadian bill that could potentially eliminate most nutritional supplements on the market. This, even though there has not been a single reported death in Canada from a nutritional supplement since 1965. You can learn more about this bill in "Discussion Paper on 2023 Health Canada Initiatives."1 Basically, they intend to license supplements as drugs, which means bringing a product to market will end up costing around $250,000 to $500,000. "If you go to your naturopath who's compounding something ... they don't even sell $20,000 of that product per year, so how are they going to pay $500,000 to get it registered?" And, there’s no grandfather clause. They intend to do this for all products, including existing ones. The bill has already passed, so now they’re just working on its implementation. As a result of this bill, naturopaths may not be able to remain in business either, since they’ll have virtually nothing to prescribe, other than whole foods. "The intention is to put [supplements] in allopathic health care control," Khan says.
God may need your around for souls. They really are trying to end lives a little quicker and to have complete dependance on government. Crazy.
