    Personally, I would beware any messages that give information like a news agency.

    Daughters of the Lamb is an outgrowth of the Intercessors of the Lamb that were shut down and dispersed by the Archbishop of Omaha. Be careful.

    I appreciate everyone's comments. :D

    Light of Mary heard again about a "comet" on April 30th from Our Lord:

    "My beloved children:
    A comet will show up that will convulse all humankind"...


    Prophesied for a long time, John Leary has heard the same, a comet is coming. So, John is NOT true but Light of Mary is?

    Here we go again, three messengers have heard of a Midwest quake. Personally, I am not sure on
    the Chosen Child of Chicago yet but I will be when we actually have a "good president." In my last post, another repeated prediction of the Chosen Child since 2012, "race riots." This is happening!

    I didn't know Daughters of the Lamb, those seers on the site are rejected by the Archbishop of Omaha. But one of them, the messages about living in the Divine Will given to Daughter of the Divine Will sure lines up.

    Is the "Midwest devastation" a quake in this 2010 message to Carol Ameche? Something is going to happen in the heart of the U.S.

    Excerpt from a message to Carol Ameche
    7-6-10

    "My dear one, please write. It is I, your God and Father, come to tell you things about your future. I am pleased with your prayers and obedience. Please remember to encourage all to pray for those going into eternity in these huge events, that they will choose Me and My commandments, repent and spend time in Purgatory before being taken into Heaven. Our people will need time to recover, which will require several years after this huge loss of life and an earthquake in CA that will follow the Midwest devastation and completely change the shape and lifestyle of this country. You need to adapt a life of MORE PRAYER. You will be more convinced of My words, as you see these events begin and changes in your life. You have remained faithful and strong in your mission to Our people. ...

    Prayer breakfast speakers urge supplication for religious liberty, family
    By Matt Hadro
    Washington D.C., May 7, 2015 / 05:23 pm (EWTN News/CNA)
    Prayer is sorely needed as existential threats face faith, the family, and religious liberty in the U.S., Catholic leaders insisted at a prayer breakfast held in the nation's capital on Thursday.

    “The crisis of marriage and family today cannot be separated from a crisis of faith and a crisis of meaning. And so we must pray for our nation and for our families,” said Bishop Richard Malone of Buffalo at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on May 7.

    The prayer breakfast has taken place each year in Washington, D.C. since 2004. Catholic leaders in business and politics, as well as bishops, priests, and religious attend. Attendance at the 2015 breakfast was estimated at over 1,000. Past speakers have included President George W. Bush, Sean Cardinal O’Malley of Boston, and Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore.

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) joined Bishop Malone in addressing the crowd about the need for prayer, as challenges are presented to religious liberty and the family in today’s “crisis of faith,” as Bishop Malone said.

    Abbott, a Catholic, shared his deeply personal story of a horrific accident that left him confined to a wheelchair as an adult. He prayed that God would grant him “the best possible outcome.” God answered his prayers, but not in the manner he expected.

    “[God] responded by giving me challenges that made me stronger,” Abbott said. “I learned, as it turned out, that faith doesn’t mean trusting God to stop the storm. Instead it means trusting him to strengthen us as we pass through the storm.”

    In the same way, the Church in the U.S. must pray for strength to weather the storm that threatens its ability to practice the faith in public, he said.


    “In America today, we are in a time of great need. There is an urgent need to pray, now more than ever, especially the need to pray for our religious liberties,” he insisted, citing the contraception mandate, legalized abortion, and the push for acceptance of same-sex marriage.

    “We see these assaults of faith continue across the entire country. We see this with the Catholic Little Sisters of the Poor being forced to choose between a law being imposed upon them by their government or instead choose to follow the law of their Lord,” he said, referring to an ongoing lawsuit between the nuns and the federal government over their being forced to violate their consciences and provide their employees coverage of contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortions through a third party.

    Yet through prayer there is hope, he added, quoting Pope Francis and exhorting the faithful to prayer.

    “I have found that there is no force as indomitable, as formidable, as prayer to almighty God. And as Pope Francis has said, and I quote, ‘To not pray is to close the door to God so that he can do nothing.’ He went on and said that ‘On the other hand, in the face of a problem, a difficult situation, a calamity, is opening the door to the Lord so that he can come in.’”


    The family also faces a crisis of faith, Bishop Malone insisted. Recent Popes have connected this crisis of faith with a crisis of the family, he added, noting that faith and family are interwoven.

    “The family needs to be reawakened and supported in its vocation and its mission,” he said, noting that young Catholics need to be taught to pray in order to be goods husbands and wives as adults.

    He also noted the importance of “a close accompaniment that encourages baptized married couples to rely on the grace received in the sacrament and that demonstrates the Church’s great affection and esteem for the vocation of marriage.”

    Iraqi nun's visa denial raises questions for US state department
    By Kevin J. Jones
    Washington D.C., May 8, 2015 / 05:03 am (EWTN News/CNA
    http://www.ewtnnews.com/catholic-news/US.php?id=12047

    Sister Diana Momenka, a Catholic nun from Iraq, intended to visit the U.S. to talk about the persecution of religious minorities in her country -- until the local U.S. consulate denied her visa application.

    Now the Department of State is facing questions about whether that action has interfered with efforts to help persecuted Christians and other minorities.

    “Sister Diana represents tens of thousands of Iraqi Christians, forced to convert or die or flee their homes. She’ll tell us the truth about what’s happening,” U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) told EWTN News May 7.

    “Like thousands of other Christians in the region, Sister Diana is a victim of ISIS,” Collins said in a May 5 letter to Secretary of State John Kerry. “She has devoted her life to helping other victims and advocating for them.”

    Collins, a member of Congress’ Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, is investigating the rejection of her visa application. He said the state department’s actions indicate that it does not believe sharing her story with policymakers and others “merited even the consideration of her application.”

    “Rather, it appears the State Department has chosen to continue to largely ignore the persecution of Christians at the hands of ISIS,” he charged. “I find that unacceptable.”

    ( my note)....If Sister was only Muslim !

    A Prayer for Our Country
    [​IMG]

    O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care.

    Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection.

    Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people. Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.

    Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God's law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

    O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life. Amen.

    And in addition, the prayer written by the first bishop of the US, John Carroll of Baltimore (another God-incident given what is going on there now), is still as pertinent as when he owned it in 1791:

    We pray, Thee O Almighty and Eternal God! Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.

    We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, Pope N., the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the government of his Church; our own bishop, N., all other bishops, prelates, and pastors of the Church; and especially those who are appointed to exercise amongst us the functions of the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways of salvation.

    We pray Thee O God of might, wisdom, and justice! Through whom authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment decreed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude the President of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he presides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion; by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy; and by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government, so that they may tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessing of equal liberty.

    We pray for his excellency, the governor of this state , for the members of the assembly, for all judges, magistrates, and other officers who are appointed to guard our political welfare, that they may be enabled, by Thy powerful protection, to discharge the duties of their respective stations with honesty and ability.

    We recommend likewise, to Thy unbounded mercy, all our brethren and fellow citizens throughout the United States, that they may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the observance of Thy most holy law; that they may be preserved in union, and in that peace which the world cannot give; and after enjoying the blessings of this life, be admitted to those which are eternal.

    Finally, we pray to Thee, O Lord of mercy, to remember the souls of Thy servants departed who are gone before us with the sign of faith and repose in the sleep of peace; the souls of our parents, relatives, and friends; of those who, when living, were members of this congregation, and particularly of such as are lately deceased; of all benefactors who, by their donations or legacies to this Church, witnessed their zeal for the decency of divine worship and proved their claim to our grateful and charitable remembrance.

    To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and everlasting peace, through the same Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.

    But no matter what God's plan is for Al Gore, the other Senators, or my neighbor down the street or on the other side of the world, I have been commanded to love them. For me this is not an easy command even for those in my life and I KNOW it's not so easy for them to love me too :). But, of course it's a different love - it Agape Love - and I know it what I want and I pray I use the grace I received to continue on the path to fulfill the command of Jesus.

    GospelJN 15:9-17
    Jesus said to his disciples:
    “As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
    Remain in my love.
    If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
    just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
    and remain in his love.

    “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you
    and your joy might be complete.
    This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
    No one has greater love than this,
    to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
    You are my friends if you do what I command you.
    I no longer call you slaves,
    because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
    I have called you friends,
    because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
    It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
    and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
    so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
    This I command you: love one another.”

    I don't want to be skeptical, but the words Al Gore and now Raul Castro use language that deals more with a personality and political views than a true conversion. I pray hard for this Pope.

    Holiness attracts. The most wicked person on earth was made to know, love and serve God.

    When I was a devout heathen, I would see Pope St. John Paul II on television and my heart would go out to him like a magnet. I kept waiting to hear him say what I wanted to hear supporting modernism and relativism, then I would get angry when he upheld the teachings of the Church. It was a great case of cognitive dissonance.

    People are putting their own agendas onto Pope Francis, but I have every confidence that he will not say what they want to hear. All this adulation is just Palm Sunday before Good Friday.

    One has to wonder whether these political leaders think that Pope Francis is different in the sense that he will not hold a strong line when it comes to 'rigid' church teaching of the past. I think these politicians do indeed think he is softer on Church doctrine and because of that they feel they can gain an advocate, just as many cardinals, bishops and priests have become to them in the past few decades. At some point, they will find they are wrong and like Kathy said, Palm Sunday will be over and Good Friday for our Holy Father will begin with the rest of the Catholic faithful.

    Pope Francis is different. As Cardinal Bergoglio, he supported same-sex civil unions. He talks about compassion for homosexuals, but not about the sinfulness of homosexual acts.
