Oh really OK this is not the place for that train of thinking. Bye.I hope to God you don't teach that to the children Sorry guys Im far far too busy with the forum to tolerate rubbish like that so from now on it's an instant ban
Hopefully this means we are still solidly Catholic here. Anyone who read my latest stuff in the Prayer request section knows that our priest has been removed due to an investigation into an alleged assault. I don't believe he has done anything, but it has to be investigated just the same. Since last Thursday evening, I had , well not exactly a vision. Just a sense that my particular Parish is in the crosshairs of the devil himself. Not just the church in general, but mine in particular. This removal of our "shepherd" has left us wide open to an attack. We need to stand up and be counted to be saved from this dangerous time. This is our third Fr. John who has left us for different reasons. Our first Fr. John, who was about my age, was transferred and has since died, the second, actually Fr. Jon, was a convert, has since left the Catholic Church. And now this. I pray that our parish comes together as will be needed to stop the assault. Please pray for us, for the time is short, and we must stand together and not be found wanting. We are all called and are accountable to God for how our lives have been lived. I only pray that I stand up to be counted among the ones who face the assault with the full armor of God and loyalty to our God and King.
It is true they are mostly old at Church now but if you keep your eyes oepn you can still see the young people here and there. Young people who attend daily mass, considering the State of the Church impress me very deeply. In fact anyone who attends daily mass at the moment impresses me. In our Traditional Church I have noticed there are quite a lot of young, very young people coming, especially with their parents. I love the cry of babies at Mass. I love to observe people at Mass, I suspect I am very often regarding the face of a Saint and learn lessons. The Traditional Mass reminds me of the masses of my early childhood, which is a warm blanket of comfort... it takes me back.
Yes, I am afraid a Very Great Persecution of the Church is at Hand, the Greatest in all human history. But the flames of the persecution will leave her pure and shining..
It certainly does indeed sound like you are under attack. Prayers. May God send you a great and holy priest to help things along a little. The Parish Church in the country I attended on Sunday was quite full. But the Parish Priest there committed suicide by hanging himself in the garage when he discovered he had cancer years and years ago. I always think and pray for him when I am passing.
How sad. Years ago a priest from my parish put a bag over his head and drove off a cliff. I don't know why but he was a bit odd so maybe it was a mental illness. Important to pray for them
The dream means your soul/spiritual life is currently strong. Your faith is so strong you would protect Our Lady Fearlessly. The alter crumbling before your eyes...shows that even if the alter burns you would do what you could to rebuild it. God Bless You! God is giving you gifts.
This was neither a dream nor a vision. It was something I felt before Holy Mass one morning about ten years ago, and I never knew how to share it. After this happened I knew something very serious was going on in the spiritual realm but could not explain it. The reading below from this mornings Holy Mass, brought it all back to me, and the reading says what I felt but could not articulate. There was also in my thoughts something like "between the Vestibule and the Altar," and that lingered for a long time afterwards. Don't know why. Reading I Jl 1:13-15; 2:1-2 Gird yourselves and weep, O priests! wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! The house of your God is deprived of offering and libation. Proclaim a fast, call an assembly; Gather the elders, all who dwell in the land, Into the house of the LORD, your God, and cry to the LORD! Alas, the day! for near is the day of the LORD, and it comes as ruin from the Almighty. Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming; Yes, it is near, a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and somberness! Like dawn spreading over the mountains, a people numerous and mighty! Their like has not been from of old, nor will it be after them, even to the years of distant generations.
Thank you and God bless you too, I hope you are right! The dream occured indeed at the time when I have become more engaged in my spiritual life and made progress in tackling my sins, often calling to Mary for help and protection... Sometimes I feel very weak, like there is nothing that can save me from falling into it again (and sometimes I do fall), but the progress is real and I am more and more aware of all those graces I am getting when I stay in the state of grace and frequent prayer. I have another dream experience from around that time of battle with my sins. But it was not really a dream experience because it happened during a sleep paralysis. I was experiencing it from time to time before, but in these months it was more frequent. You may be familiar with what sleep paralysis is or you may have experienced it, but basically when I have it, I feel that I am awake and can see the room, but I can't move or talk and I feel a looming evil presence nearby, or some creepy voices or whispers talking about me. This time it was different (and worse).. I felt like there were demons all around me, screaming inside my head and I really though I will become crazy as it was intensifying. But then for some reason I shouted "In the name of Jesus go away!" and in that instant all became quiet. The worst nightmare became a total opposite... I felt such peace that I can't compare to anything in my life. The most mellow and relaxing peace ever, which I felt like it lasted for almost two hours, without the need to move at all. It sure felt like a peace of heaven I don't know why I shouted that (or how was I able to talk during the paralysis), but I realized that the origin of these experiences, when we are most vulnerable are demonic and that with Jesus's help we have nothing to fear. After that I haven't had sleep paralysis again and this encouraged me to not fear and trust Jesus even more in all aspects of my life. Because he is the only thing that can save us from evil, even during our weakest moments. I hope this will bring some encouragement to those who experience these type of demonic attacks too.
I dreamed that I was watching a Mass on television in front of the Vatican at night (it reminded me of the Holy Week celebration last year), but it was not the pope who was celebrating but a group of simple priests, it caused me some surprise that one of the priests he made a gesture with his hands as if calling on the faithful (whom I did not see) to applaud standing, and instantly the altar candles were lit as if by magic.
I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I met a lady from the South of Ireland recently at a prayer gathering. She told me about one of her prayer group members who got a ‘word’ from the Lord some 10 years ago. He said we would all have to wear masks and we would have different names. Perhaps anyone from Southern Ireland could confirm this?
That is quite hard to confirm. There are prayer meetings all over Ireland. You have have to know which prayer meeting she attended.
Ive already posted about this but i thought i share this here if thats ok. I had a dream the warning happened and my whole family converted. And my brother started watching the fatima movie on netflix lol
But in that dream it stared snowing and the moon moved for some reason it was night time. And my vision was dim. That part didnt make since by the way.
I had a horrible nightmare last night that really shook me up. I can only describe it as being completely evil. There was no real substance or story to my dream, but a terrifying voice of the evil one was overwhelming. I woke up sometime in the night absolutely terrified. I was so afraid to go back to sleep and I even turned on my bedside lamp for awhile. I grabbed my Rosary on my bedside table and began praying the Rosary. I felt instant peace. I just knew Our Blessed Mother was with me at that very moment. It was amazing to go from being terrified, to such instant peace. Just wanted to share that with you all.
PS...I wondered this morning if the reason I had that evil invade my dreams, was because it was First Saturday yesterday and I went to Mass, Communion, Confession and prayed all 20 decades of the Rosary with our Legion of Mary. Maybe someone didn't like that.
