It was Jesus who told us not to worry about tomorrow, Dennis. Sometimes I am inclined to think, 'It's easy for you to say!'. This is indeed SHTF times, but as the hymn says, 'He's a God you cannot hurry'....a God we cannot boil an egg by. I was away camping the last few days and was quite deliberately trying to take it easy, no long treks, no getting up at the crack of dawn , no marches through the night, no fasting. The most I did were long periods in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I forget how long it is since I spent so much time just praying in Church. I woke up one morning to the beautiful peaceful sound of a wood pigeon one morning, it was so peaceful. I don't have many plans, but I know God loves us and He has a plan. I am going to take His hand and trust Him on that. If He is the one who designed wood pigeons to wake us in the mornings , I am sure it must be a very good one.
I don't suppose the good Lord is duty bound to explain everything that is about to happen to us. I wish sometimes He would, but He doesn't have too.
I don't worry about ME as I'm Old-n-Tired and have a lot more days behind then I do ahead ... but I grieve for my Country, Young People and those ... The Majority ... that never had any "oil for their lamps" to begin with ! WE People of Faith know there is a Happy Ending ... but that path to the Finish Line!!!??? GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/putin-orders-northern-fleet-full-alert-exercises-ria-073059816.html MOSCOW (Reuters) - More than 45,000 Russian troops as well as war planes and submarines started military exercises across much of the country on Monday in one of the Kremlin's biggest shows of force since its ties with the West plunged to Cold War-lows. President Vladimir Putin called the Navy's Northern Fleet to full combat readiness in exercises in Russia's Arctic North apparently aimed at dwarfing military drills in neighboring Norway, a NATO member. "New challenges and threats to military security require the armed forces to further boost their military capabilities. Special attention must be paid to newly created strategic formations in the north," Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said, quoted by RIA news agency.
This is what I struggle with somewhat (and it is showcased on MOG ).....getting too caught up in world events that I can't fix or change. I, like most tend to think there is a good or better side and an evil side. More and more I think this is wrong. The only good side is those that side with Christ and live accordingly. There is soooo much media bias and spin you can be made to believe almost anything is true or false. Got to put faith somewhere else, the only other place. When things turn to crap no one is going to care what anyone thinks about who or what cause it only how to endure and can I stand up for Christ even unto death. Once we aren't all arm chair critics sitting at computers our real salt will be tested. 4And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. 5“For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 8“But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 9“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10“At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. 11“Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. 12“Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. 13“But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 14“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk....send us a message from the front lines.......... Anyone pro-war should made to enlist or at least force their kids to ....preferably to the front lines so they can see/feel what killing another human is like. Who do you want to kill first? Russians? Iranians? Palestinians? Here's the link..... http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/eforms/dd0004.pdf
Well MMM, I can't speak for your Family but mine has been in the "Trenches' since the American Revolution! We don't ask or expect thanks but we do expect Support from Our Country and Fellow Citizens when we are ordered into the Fight. From what I've heard from you here, I'm doubting that I want you anywhere near my "Foxhole" when the order comes to "Fix Bayonets"! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
I respect anyone willing to risk there life for a cause they deem rightous. But your reactionary comment is not a proper responce to the point I am making. If Obama said it's time to go attack Canada, would you just obey your orders? Would you have to? Is this right? I think it's fair to ask if the politicians always do the right, moral thing? Are we to fall in line with whatever goverment leader happens to be running the show? Never question? Politicians are the moral superiors to everyone else? You must believe something close to this if you are so willing to follow? Correct? Must military follow orders even if these orders go against the very foundation of their principles or beliefs? The guy standing on the otherside with his gun is likely much like you are......but you are not allowed to even think this way. But the point I am making is simply this if you are pro-war sign up and get busy.....wars are started and run by people that never have to risk their lives in them. I'd like to see the President or our Prime Minister lead the charge into battle......it never seem to be an issue when it's someone elses kids being killed. If you were born in Russia, you'd stand behind Russia, if you were born in Gaza you stand with the Palistinians, if you were born in Iran you stand in defence of Iran.......so I understand everyone has a bias.......an American bias is only natural if from America.... this isn't a judgement at all. I am totally biased in my own way too. I am not afraid to admit it. I wish we could all see things from a much greater view and also a much smaller view......ok ramble done.
Jon, I think you miss the point. Perhaps you did not watch the previous 5 video's which lays out a much differnt picture then the one you portray. The "physical damage" is what takes place before and after the Warning. Conchita said, 'things will be at its worst, before the Warning and then comes the Chastisements from heaven. Much if not most of the 'physical damage' prior to the Warning is man-made.
Maybe so. I admit I do not have the patience to listen to this man speak English for very long, so i skip through and read the slides. But, it does seem in the video you posted, that he is marking 11-16-16 as a definitive astronomical date that he put on a timeline as equivalent to the Warning & 6th Seal. At the same time he appears to state a pole shift and global earthquake on the same date...then he covers the interior aspects of the Warning only, and does not mention the exterior aspects (which we know don't match the disastrous effects he has just described)...
Sometimes war is needed...the question is when is the right time. Could someone have stopped Hitler sooner. How many people were just like mmm? You can't go to war after the fact. Isis has crossed the line, therefore there is no other way to respond. Mmm says let the middle east handle itself. Well Isis wants to destroy all jews and christians. When is the right time? May Gods Will be Done
The CCC makes it clear that there are legitimate circumstances where self defense and war us acceptable. Avoiding war 2307 The fifth commandment forbids the intentional destruction of human life. Because of the evils and injustices that accompany all war, the Church insistently urges everyone to prayer and to action so that the divine Goodness may free us from the ancient bondage of war.105 2308 All citizens and all governments are obliged to work for the avoidance of war. However, "as long as the danger of war persists and there is no international authority with the necessary competence and power, governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed."106 2309 The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. The gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time: - the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; - all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; - there must be serious prospects of success; - the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modem means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition. These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good. 2310 Public authorities, in this case, have the right and duty to impose on citizens the obligations necessary for national defense. Those who are sworn to serve their country in the armed forces are servants of the security and freedom of nations. If they carry out their duty honorably, they truly contribute to the common good of the nation and the maintenance of peace.107
I think everyone understand the just war principle. The question is, who is just? America with all its sin? Europe? Sure there is Islamic terrorists that are doing the bidding for Satan, but one could argue that the abortion mills in America have killed billions more than all of radical Muslims to date and they are substantially more horrid than beheading. I feel we are in an era where guns and nukes are not the answer. We are living in the end times, where the battle is being first and foremost fought in the invisible world and the evil in our world is going to be defeated only by prayer and penance.
Fr Apostali last nite spoke about a report released from China...400 MILLION Abortions China claims! That's more than the US population ....I just cant grasp that number

Because we do not know the way to peace. Luke:19:41 The Lament for Jerusalem. As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes." Fatima: Second apparition of the Angel: It occurred in summer, when the seers were playing near the well of Lucia's house. The Angel said to them: "What are you doing? Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High." The children asked: "How must we sacrifice ourselves?" The angel said: "Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. By this you will bring peace to your country. I'm its Guardian Angel, the Angel of Portugal. Above all accept and bear with submission all the suffering the Lord will send you." Blessed Virgin Mary: "Recite the rosary every day to obtain the peace for the world and the end of the war." "Tell them to pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for peace, since God has entrusted it to her." Blessed Jacinta of Fatima Padre Pio: "Hand me my weapon." As Immaculee said in her book on Rwanda, "If only we had listened."

"He who lives by the sword will die by the sword", who's ignorant words are these? Of all the messages from heaven going back to La Sallette in 1846, how many times have you heard our Blessed Mother to take up any other arms then the rosary? Has heaven been asking us for guns and nukes or rosaries (our weapon) and scapular (our armor)? Who is the ignorant one? The one doing the will of God or the one who thinks more violence will end the apsotacy and evil in the world?
Fatima, From the begining of time man has had war. The old testement is full of stories. But prayers and wars go hand in hand. Again, I state, do we just let isis clear the countries of jews and christians. Once they have cleared the middle east...their sites are focused on Europe. When Hitler started, no one believed he would continue throughout Europe. We must proclaim evil when evil has taken over a whole group. As for those that think the US is evil because of abortion...I agree the spirit of the anti-christ is everywhere. But prayers and fasting is trying to change that. But when demons/evil has actually gathered a physical army one must fight. May Gods Will be Done
