Alert: Volcano eruption in La Palma could result in mega-tsunami

Prayers for Brian - and for his family. Ave Maria....

 

Ohhhh…beautiful Carol!

 

Same here AED….trusting Jesus!

 

I’d bet we’ve all been there. The world is weighing many down now.

 

Yes AED…it’s like our souls need kick started. Life’s a bit overwhelming now with so much in crisis….

 

Brian,
This is very difficult but continue to trust in the Lords merciful love. Satan is attacking us through our families but God's mercy will defeat him. I met a friend recently. She is an exceptionally good and pious lady. She was so upset because her daughter wants to 'unbaptise' herself.
Keep praying for mercy. This is the moment to really trust.
Jesus I Trust in Your Merciful Love.

 

Your suffering and offering it up for her will be her return Brian. I’m doing the same. Trust Jesus….

 

Thank you for the e-book link Carol. Oh, what wonderful photos, the scenery is just magnificent!

 

I know how you feel Brian. Plenty of us in the same boat. Let’s keep praying for each other. It’s all we can do.

 

I think we should pray that this will not be as bad as it could be or as bad as the world deserves.

 

Young people are enduring an unprecedented tsunami, to use a topical word, of satanically-inspired, anti-Catholic propaganda in an era in which the Church has broadly abandoned opposing it. In most cases, it seems to me, there's a lot of invincible ignorance. Please God, the scales will fall from the eyes of your daughter and many others, before too long. Keep on keepin' on.

 

I'm in the same boat Brian... My daughter told me the same thing years back and then it felt like a "lash of a whip" to which I spun around and deeply felt an "AARRGH"( which is much deeper than a plain ol' "OUCH")!

The crosses placed on our backs by our own family members seem to be the hardest to carry!!

We are all ...on this forum ...seems to me....really dragging these days under a heavier and heavier load. I was indulging myself in a pity party the other day and came to the realization that there is not...one....single...drop of "JOY" in my life!!
The thought that this could go on for years is..... unbearable!

But then I think about what Jesus went through.... He lived for 33 yrs knowing full well what awaited him. That thought must have been a constant "shadow" following him everywhere. How depressing THAT must have been!!

I always respond to thoughts like that with.... "Yea...but he was GOD and I'm NOT!!"

As I'm complaining about this state that I'm in... I remembered that I promised him that I would bear my crosses for the salvation of the souls my family and the souls of this sinful world.
Soo.... I pick myself up out of my hole ....dust myself off and continue on with the battle! Amen

 

Those pictures are stunning Carol. They remind me of the old western movies I used to watch as a youngster. I loved America from those movies.
I'm glad to say I've visited many times. And worked there for a few summers too. I saw America - the real America. Absolutely amazing.

 

Agree, Indy.

 

Ellen you are describing the long spiritual marathon we are on to a T. I even said that to the Lord--that very thing. As my life was seemingly coming apart in my early 3o's I told Him how upset I was that He had not answered my prayer. Not only not answered it but made it worse. (Thats how it seemed to me) I ended up with a "It's not fair!!!" The quiet Voice spoke in my heart "It wasn't fair when I hung on the cross." And then my horrifying response--"but You are God. You can do it. I cant!"
And then a grudging "all right. If that's Your Will in this then all right. To Whom could I go? You have the Words of everlasting life."
The very next day the whole problem was solved. Not just solved but better than I had asked for or imagined. I was very chagrined. I told Him how sorry I was about my behavior. And all He said was "Remember this." It was said with a kind of loving amusement--like this might happen under different forms on through my life and to remember He knew what He was doing.. And it was wonderful advice. It built my faith. I realized all that comes from His Hands is given with love. If we don't get the answer we want there is ALWAYS a reason. He is our Father. Surrender our own understanding.. Trust trust trust. And live in peace.

 

Sorry- will pray for her conversion and return. It’s a big cross Brian- prayers for you as well.

 

Thanks John. You’ve been quite an excellent source of information- much appreciated!

 

Did not realize all of that. Thanks for those details.

 

I was pondering that it does not seem right for sea to invade land prior to start of 10 secrets of Medjugorje. How long can volcanoes continue erupting? Could this event be delayed by weeks or months? I think we will witness an important event for St Michael’s feast tomorrow, but likely not one of major events as it would have been announced by Medjugorge.
