No. It reminds me of that point after the Nativity in Bethlehem where Jesus, Mary and the baby Jesus had to take Flight into Egypt in order to escape King Herod. This is also mentioned in the Book of the Apocalypse where the Virgin with child had to flee to escape the Dragon. A time whent he Sun is eclipsed and we are left in utter darkness. The Church is like this at the moment. I do feel particularly sorry for good priests and Bishops. If it is hard on us poor laypeople it must be a thousand times worse for them. Still, as the psalmist says, 'Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap'
We really have to pray for our stalwart ones. They are a great gift to us and we just know they are getting hammered from every side. Of course we should pray for all of them and I do but I really try to go an extra mile for our good priests bishops and Cardinals. (Not far enough but I mean to do better)
Yep, started earlier this week, but that's ok, got the armor of God up and went on a blessing spree around the house with holy water, I think even my dogs got blessed
There is a St. Nilus of Sinai (5th century) and the Russian Orthodox St. Nilus the Myrrhgusher (c. 15th century). The prophecy seems to be attributed in a roundabout way to the Russian St. Nilus. St. Nilus (the Myrrhstreamer) is said to have appeared to a monk named Theophanes in the 18th century. The claim is that Theophanes' faith was wavering (not sure if he was possessed) and St. Nilus healed him but didn't reveal his identity straight away. Theophanes claimed to have been given guidance and prophecies by St. Nilus who instructed him to write down everything. Theophanes being illiterate (or barely literate) dictated it all to a monk from Constantinople. The writings filled a 600 page book. The writings were translated and published by another monk in 1906. Here's a link to a website of an Orthodox Christian with some more information: https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2012/05/truth-about-prophecies-of-saint-nilus.html Maybe Theophanes was genuine but it's also possible that he was either delusional or possessed. Anyway, it looks like the prophecy didn't come from St. Nilus of Sinai.
What an interesting site! Thank you Dolours, I love this kind of stuff. The internet can be a real blessing, I would never find this in a Western Library.
Whatever Theophanes' situation, he accessed information that he could not have known naturally and which has turned out to be very prescient. It's good to know that the prophecy is not an invention and that the confusion over it is due to mistaken identity. Thanks for that.
Email from Fr. Richard Heilman on the Day of Prayer and Reparation today, which is also First Friday: " We began our Advent "preparatory" journey with Christ's command to "Stay Awake!" My brothers and sisters, WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS!! This is not unlike the crossroads Israel faced in 1 Kings 18, where we see that they had lost their awe of God. To them, He was a million miles away. They still claimed to follow Jehovah, but He was no longer a part of their daily lives. God knew that only a vivid reminder of His power would awaken these people from their spiritual sleep. So God used Elijah to bring about a turning point in their lives. With the odds stacked against him-one man standing against hundreds of pagan leaders-Elijah showed the strength of God. Our own spiritual slumber, in our times, has opened the way for Satan to advance with his evil agenda. The defining moment came on January 22, 1973, while catching us in this slothful indolence, our nation sanctioned the murder of innocent and precious little babies. The thing about abortion is this: the ancient practice of child sacrifice has resumed in earnest with abortion on demand---only now it's all hidden from our eyes. The babies are no longer sacrificed on the altars of the ancient gods Moloch and Baal. Instead, they are sacrificed on the altars of convenience or material benefits. It is uncanny how much this moment in history resembles the conflict between Elijah and Jezebel; between the power of God and the satanic lie of Baal. Are we under the demonic influence of Jezebel? Jezebel first appears in 1 Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. Baal worship was closely associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sex acts. Jezebel, as a daughter of this perverse kingdom, was raised in an atmosphere where sex was a path to power and influence (sounding familiar yet?). Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel (a type of modern man?). Jezebel then introduced the worship of Ashtoroth to Israel. This god/goddess was a power-hungry goddess of sensuality. Priestess-prostitutes filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The lure of these legal, readily available erotic encounters was more than the men of Israel would resist (does this sound like modern easy access porn to you?). By Jezebel's influence, most Israelites, the northern kingdom, left the worship of God for Baal and Ashtoroth (modern men become dead to God in sin - spiritual sloths - when caught in the repetitive sin of porn and masturbation). The prophet Elijah laments that only 7000 men in the entire nation were not swayed by her control ... ... How many men have left God, in our times - exchanged the power of supernatural grace for sensual pleasure - by simply clicking on to easy access porn sites? How many men have either abandoned their family or refuse to get married at all? The Jezebel spirit is born of rebellion (1960s? Now?). The Spirit of Jezebel is basically a controlling spirit working through the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (The counter forces to these are poverty, chastity and obedience). Other ways a Jezebel spirit can gain power of a nation ... Puts power and politics ahead of people Baal worshippers would propagate child sacrifice (today's abortion) Operates through fear and intimidation (Alinsky's Rules for Radicals) Intolerant of Word of God (Banish God from public sphere, loss of religious freedom) Allows seduction to prevail (Women are tempted, in our times, to look and act seductively) Twists truth; Lies Usurps the law Propagates sorcery; Black magic (New Age, Reiki, crystals, horoscopes, ouija boards, luck charms, etc.) Is any of this sounding familiar? It should. This almost perfectly describes the Motus Operandi of most of the liberal secular ruling class in power today. And so, while we slept, Satan has advanced. Every major institution has been captured by the radical secular left. The media, Hollywood, TV, universities, public schools, theater, the arts, literature - they relentlessly promote the false gods of sexual hedonism and radical individualism. Conservatives have ceded the culture to the enemy. Tens of millions of unborn babies have been slaughtered; illegitimacy rates have soared; divorce has skyrocketed; pornography is rampant; drug use has exploded; sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS have killed millions; birth control is a way of life; sex outside of wedlock has become the norm; countless children have been permanently damaged - their innocence lost forever - because of the proliferation of broken homes; and sodomy and homosexuality are celebrated openly. America has become the new Babylon. Don't be fooled. All political and/or moral battles are, at their essence, about this: The power of death vs. the power of life. We are at war with Satan, who has the power of death. It is Christ who is the author of life. Therefore, herein lies the divine ultimatum: This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live (Deut. 30:19). Will our December 6 "Worldwide Exorcism" be our "Elijah Moment"? All I know is that we simply MUST awaken from our spiritual sleep and restore our awe of God! I will cry out until my dying day ... "When it comes to evangelization, we don't need more programs and talking points and DVDS and books and pamphlets ... WE. NEED. TO. RESTORE. AWE. OF. GOD!! Please, God! Help us!!" I don't know if God will respond to our December 6 prayer with some miraculous event, but I know my prayer will be that God lead us, somehow, to a turning point that recovers our "AWE OF GOD."

Vatican committee asks UN for World Day of Human Fraternity https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/vatican-committee-asks-un-for-world-day-of-human-fraternity-32222 Vatican City, Dec 5, 2019 / 10:00 am (CNA).- Members of a Vatican special committee met with the Secretary General of the United Nations on December 4 to deliver a petition on human fraternity co-authored by Pope Francis and the Sunni Islamic Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed Al-Tayeb. The committee was formed in August, under the auspicies of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. The message from the two religious leaders requested that Feb. 4 be declared the “World Day of Human Fraternity,” and asked the United Nations, along with the Holy See and the Al-Azhar Mosque, to create a “World Summit On Human Fraternity.” The Al-Azhar Mosque is located in Cairo, Egypt, and the Grand Imam of that mosque is considered to be one of the highest positions in Sunni Islam. According to a statement released by the Pontifical Council on Dec. 5, Dr. Antonio Guterres, the secretary general of the United Nations, “expressed his appreciation and availability for the initiative,” and said that he believed it was important to work “at the service of all humanity.” Guterres appointed Dr. Adama Dieng, who is presently the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Adviser for Hate Speech and the Prevention of Genoicde, to work along with a Vatican special committee on the proposed summit and World Day of Human Fraternity. The Holy See’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue formed the committee in late August to work towards the goals for advancing world peace and coexistence laid out in the Document on Human Fraternity. That document was released on Feb. 4, when Pope Francis made an apostolic journey to the United Arab Emirates. The committee, which is led by Cardinal Miguel Angel Ayuso Guixot, contains members belonging to Christian, Muslim, and Jewish faiths. Ayuso Guixot also heads the Pontifical Council. Ayuso Giuxot, in an interview with Vatican News Aug. 26, called the creation of the committee a “significant act” with a “noble” objective, and stated that he believes “fear is the number one enemy of interreligious dialogue.” “The Catholic Church recalls the value of its own identity, of the courage of otherness and the sincerity of intentions,” he said. “It is not a matter of making a ‘melting pot’ in which all religions are considered equal, but that all believers, those who seek God and all people of good will without a religious affiliation, have equal dignity.” “I think the Abu Dhabi declaration is a global appeal to the ‘civilization of love’ which contrasts with those who want a clash of civilizations!” the archbishop said. About three weeks after the superior committee was formed, the Catholic and Muslim members met in the Holy See on Sept. 11 to pray for the victims of the 9/11 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, as well as for the victims of every act of terrorism. According to the Holy See Press Office, the committee chose to meet Sept. 11 as “a sign of the will to build life and fraternity where others sowed death and destruction.” *** And here's Edward Pentin's article about the recent news related to Peter's Pence: Dec. 6, 2019 | http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edwa...ested-peters-pence-funds-in-elton-john-biopic Report: Vatican Invested Peter’s Pence Funds in Elton John Biopic According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the investment in the film came via Vatican funds channeled through a Malta-based investment fund run by an Italian financier who lives in Switzerland. Edward Pentin The Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera has reported that Vatican prosecutors are investigating how funds from Peter’s Pence have been allegedly invested in loss-making enterprises as well as a movie censored in some countries because of its explicit homosexual scenes. In the latest in a string of recent stories involving financial misconduct at the Holy See, the Secretariat of State reportedly invested more than $1 million in the movie Rocketman, a biopic of the singer Elton John, and $3.6 million in Men in Black: International. The first major Hollywood studio release to include an on-screen homosexual sex scene, Rocketman was censored in a number of locations, including Russia, Malaysia, Samoa and the Cook Islands, as well as temporarily on Delta Airlines. Peter’s Pence refers to financial support offered by the faithful to the Pope, which according to the Vatican are “destined to Church needs, to humanitarian initiatives and social promotion projects, as well as to the support of the Holy See.” According to the Corriere della Sera article, written by Mario Gerevini and Fabrizio Massaro, the movie investments are just a small amount of the Vatican’s funds, millions of which are reportedly handled by an investment company in Malta called the Centurion Global Fund. The head of the fund is Enrico Crasso, a 71-year-old Italian financier and recipient of a papal medal who lives in Switzerland. Gerevini and Massaro allege that Crasso has been a “reference point for many financial transactions,” that he “managed the Vatican coffers for years,” and been the recipient of “millions of euros in commissions.” Their report goes on to say he has managed to raise 70 million euro through investments, some of which are “nothing short of speculative.” In particular, the article singles out Crasso’s 6 million-euro stake in Italia Independent, a company owned by Lapo Elkann, the grandson of the late Fiat company-owner, Gianni Agnelli. The newspaper says the deal currently “looks like a loss.” More significantly, the article alleges Crasso played a “central role” in the 2014 purchase of a luxury London property, made through a 200 million-pound speculative loan taken out by the Secretariat of State. The deal, which led to a substantial commission for the main broker of the deal, Italian financier Raffaele Mincione, has drawn widespread criticism, with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, admitting it was “rather opaque” and that the Vatican is “working to clear everything up.” According to Corriere’s report, Crasso’s fund also made various other multimillion-euro investments in Italy, including 1.3 million euro in an Italian internet start-up that lost 39,000 euro in 2018. The company’s president has “important contacts” in the Secretariat of State, Gerevini and Massaro write. The fund’s largest investment is 16 million euro in the Swiss-Swedish technology giant ABB, while it also made loans worth 4.5 million euro to a small construction company in Rome. Overall, Gerevini and Massaro write that at the end of last year, the Centurion fund “had lost 4.61%, that’s about €2 million. And most of that ended up in executives’ pockets by way of commissions.” Asked what the precise connection is between the Secretariat of State and Crasso’s fund, the Vatican told Corriere della Sera that “investigations are in progress, and lines of enquiry which may help clarify the position of the Holy See with respect to the aforementioned funds and any others, are currently being examined by the Vatican judiciary, in collaboration with the competent authorities.” In his new book, Giudizio Universale (Last Judgement), Italian investigative journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi writes that, according to Cardinal Angelo Becciu, former deputy of the Secretariat of State, only 10%-15% of Peter’s Pence goes to charity. The rest, he said, is used to fund the maintenance of Church structures. Nuzzi’s book reveals that much is opaque, assets are mismanaged, and the annual contribution by the faithful to Peter’s Pence is declining. In October, the Vatican denied claims Nuzzi makes in his book that the Holy See risks default over its structural deficit. The Vatican hasn’t published a budget since 2015 and has been without an in-house auditor since the previous one, Libero Milone, was ousted in 2017. Milone, whom the Vatican exonerated of wrongdoing last year, said he was framed and dismissed because he was getting too close to uncovering financial corruption in the Curia. Similar mismanagement of Vatican funds is not new. In 2012, then-Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone pushed the Vatican, against professional advice, including from then Vatican Bank president, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, to invest 15 million euro in convertible bonds with Lux Vide, an Italian film company founded by Ettore Bernabei, a friend of Cardinal Bertone. Although the company made films suitable for the family and on the Catholic faith, the investment resulted in a 15 million-euro loss to the Vatican Bank.
Judging by that first article, Freemasonry is now in the driving seat in the Vatican. What they're proposing has nothing to do with Catholicism, that's for sure. The 'Church of Nice'. Those in the Vatican that are trying to appease the Mohammedan crocodile (remember all the Mohammedans around the world, including New York itself, dancing with joy on 9/11?), should take note of the appeasers murdered on London Bridge last week by one of those they were appeasing. Are we even surprised that the Vatican is sponsoring sodomy porn? Are they even remotely bothered by this revelation? I think they're delighted it's been revealed.
I was shown something in prayer a few days ago. An apple on a silver platter, beautiful in its perfection. Then as I watched the apple, right before my eyes became rotten and full of worms. So much so that within seconds it became a putrid evil smelling soup, right before my eyes. Then I heard a Word of warning that things are about to change very, very swiftly in the Church and in the World. That events are to accelerate. That the evil are to become devils incarnate, the bad to become swiftly totally evil. To gird myself for the Gates of Hell itself to open and a tidal wave of Satanic Power to fall upon us.
I cannot "like" this post you made, but I can say that the epiphany I had in October dove tails with this and the tidal wave you were shown manifests itself upon us as our persecution. And that it's going to come hard and fast. What you were shown here is going to happen and much sooner than many think. It's why the exorcists called for the fasting/prayer/reparations today. It's why I think we're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic by spending time discussing whether this prophet or that one is right or wrong, or fretting about what new diabolical acts come to light from Rome. It's upon us, could be today, next week, next year, but it's here. But fear not, God has a plan and if He didn't allow us to suffer from what is coming, how would he reclaim those who are so lost? They'd only continue circling the drain if things were allowed to go unchecked. But until He intervenes, we do have some wood to chop
It was also shown to me that many, many people at present, particularly in the Church are making the final choice for evil...are becoming totally, fully possessed by evil. Demons incarnate. This may indeed has happened in former times..such as at the Last Supper when we are told of Judas, that Satan entered into him. But now it is falling like snowflakes in a winter storm. Many souls given to total evil. Bishops and Cardinals. We are very, very innocent about what has come upon us. Hell's Gates the Flood Gates are open. We have, all off us no idea about what is just about to befall us. The World itself has made a decisive choice for Evil. As has the majority of the Church. I would say now, I hope I am wrong even most of our higher clergy follow the Dark Path. There might have been a time that by hedging your bets and keeping quiet you might have been judged merely bad and cowardly. No more. It is a choice of God's road or the Highway to Hell. The Huge greater Majority choose Hell and do so more and more totally big time. They have willed to follow Satan. Think about that.
Unfortunately you are right. Evil is manifesting, I keep going back to what the 4 exorcists heard to lead them to make the call that they did for all of us to pray and fast today. They independently heard the same thing from 4 different people they were performing exorcisms on. So dire that they called for today's prayer (I pray we are all doing this today!). Evil is manifesting itself openly and we see leaders who literally look possessed. Look at what Nancy Pelosi does with her arm at about the 30 second mark of this video from yesterday, she looks possessed and has no control of her arm:
This is it. Even when I look at their faces now I can see total pure evil right in front of me. They do not even have to open their mouths to speak. Nanci Pelosi is a very good example. Another good example is Prince Andrew, the good friend of World Satanist Epstein. Pope Francis is another good example, the best of all totally, totally evil. Look as his eyes, dark, dark, dark. The same with Pope Francis or Pelosi. Dark, dark, dark.
