An amazing prophecy conveyed by a truly great mystic and saint. Thanks to Mark Mallett. Purification is Mercy, is Necessary Our Lady to Servant of God Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970) in 1921: God alone! (Dio solo) It is I, Mary Immaculate, Mother of Mercy. It is I who must lead you back to Jesus because the world is so far from Him and cannot find the way back, being so full of wretchedness! Only a great mercy can lift the world out the abyss into which it has fallen. Oh, my daughter you do not consider what state the world is in and what souls have become! Do you not see that God is forgotten, that He is unknown, that the creature idolizes itself?… Do you not see that the Church is languishing and that all her riches are buried, that her priests are inactive, are often bad, and are dissipating the Lord’s vineyard? The world has become a field of death, no voice will awaken it unless a great mercy lifts it up. You, therefore, my daughters, must implore this mercy, addressing yourselves to me who am its Mother: “Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope”. What do you think mercy is? It is not merely indulgence but also a remedy, medicine, surgical operation. The first form of mercy needed by this poor earth, and the Church first of all, is purification. Do not be frightened, do not fear, but it is necessary for a terrible hurricane to pass first over the Church and then the world! The Church will almost seem abandoned and everywhere her ministers will desert her… even the churches will have to close! By his power the Lord will break all the bonds that now bind her [i.e. the Church] to the earth and paralyze her! They have neglected the glory of God for human glory, for earthly prestige, for external pomp, and all this pomp will be swallowed up by a terrible, new persecution! Then we will see the value of human prerogatives and how it would have been better to lean on Jesus alone, who is the true life of the Church. When you see the Pastors expelled from their seats and reduced to poor houses, when you see priests deprived of all their possessions, when you see external greatness abolished, say that the Kingdom of God is imminent! All this is mercy, not an ill! Jesus wanted to reign by spreading His love and so often they have prevented Him from doing so. Therefore, he will disperse everything that is not his and will strike his ministers so that, deprived of all human support, they might live in Him alone and for Him! This is the true mercy and I will not prevent what will seem to be a reversal but which is a great good, because I am the Mother of mercy! The Lord will begin with His house and from there He will go on to the world…here. Iniquity, having reached its apex, will fall apart and devour itself… Footnotes Footnotes ↑1 The text was written in 1921 but only published after his death in the book Cosi ho visto l’Immaculota (Thus I saw the Immaculate), This volume takes the form of 31 letters – one for each day of the month of May – written to some of the Neapolitan mystic’s spiritual daughters while he was in Rome being “interrogated” by the Holy Office. It is clear that Don Dolindo regarded the writing as supernaturally inspired by an illumination from Our Lady, who speaks here in the first person. ↑2 cf. 1 Pet 4:17 https://www.countdowntothekingdom.com/fr-dolindo-purification-is-mercy-is-necessary/
I love him too... his novena is incredible. This rings so true to where we are and where we are heading.
A wonderful mystic, indeed! Any warning he gave, true though they have proven to be, was always coupled with ultimate hope in God's Mercy!
Amen! I love Fr Dolindo. I pray the Surrender Novena every day. One of my favorite lines in it from Jesus: I will resolve the most difficult situations. Amen. Thanks, Jason, for posting this prophecy.
Don Dolindo was wonderful, such a hopeful message. He certainly practiced what he preached. They persecuted the poor man like crazy just as they did poor Padre Pio.
Imagine a priest or nun or Bishop at the moment who was a saint like Don Dolindo or even someone who was very Holy indeed. I would put money on it that anywhere they lived at the moment and told the truth or lived the truth as Padre Pio and Don Dolindo did they would be totally crushed at the moment. You can be sure of it. There might be the odd one or two who might get away with it, but very few. On this account they serve as Prophetic signs to us lay people. Certainly our own Synodal False Church will persecute Faithful clergy at present. But eventually they, with the aid of the Secular Powers they'll be coming for we Faithful lay folks too. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/beware-the-trojan-horse-in-the-synodal-church
Imagine if Mother Angelica or Fulton Sheen or even Mother Teresa were alive today. They'd be launching nukes at them.
"They will throw you out of synagogue and hand you over thinking they are doing God's Will" words of Jesus
Many prayers for the poor priests , Bishops and Cardinals who have been silenced, slandered and badly treated in the worst possible ways. Poor brave men. The poor nuns too. These people are ruthless.
