Hi Matthew, It was so late last night when I posted on MOG, that I did not see the quoted email you mention above, I thought I was being very careful, but alas no. This morning I was horrified to see it there and have now corrected it. Thank you for trying to alert me. I make so many mistakes, one thing for sure I shouldn't post when I'm tired or emotional. Oh Mary conceived without sin and who suffered for us, pray for us, who have recourse to Thee.
Praying for you Josephine. You are faithfilled and courageous. This is likely coming our way as well. Jesus please help us all. Reading about Germany. Won’t be able to buy and sell soon unless you follow their mandates.
Josephite, HH expresses my thoughts well. You are in my prayers! The Lord is our strength and salvation! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for Josephite and her family and country.
I have two elderly first cousins and about 5 first cousins once removed living in Sydney. I am certain they are full of fear, judging from their emails and sometimes the lack of them. I would say they are about 83 now, the first cousins. I know my late father and mother are praying for them and for all of us. But I am sincerely grateful that they are not alive to see this.
Carolyn, I have not forgotten about you and your family either, you are all in my prayers and Australia is too. I apologize that I missed this thread until now. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen +
Ohhh me too… my dear dad would not be able to take this. He was from the depression era and they were a tough bunch…and they loved our nation. He signed up for the navy before he was of legal age( lied to get in the military to defend his nation). It would have killed him to see what this government is doing.. and the world..,and the church.
I think of this so often... How grateful I am that my dear Grandpa, a veteran who loved his country so much, is already safely gone from this life. He died just before Covid arrived.
Similarly, Geralyn's Dad and Mom passed in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Joseph was in Patton's Army. All of this would have been incomprehensible to them. May they rest in peace because of Your Mercy, Lord!
Thank you all for your prayers. Just a catch up on what is now happening About 5 days ago I learnt about a new legislation called the “trusted digital identity legislation” which will be soon before the Australian Federal Government to be passed as law. This legislation has already passed phase 1 and phase 2, it is now at phase 3 but we can submit objections to or affirmations for, this bill, with the deadline being 27th October next Wednesday. After that, is phase 4, which no doubt will be the passing of the legislation. I have emailed two independent political parties to find out how I should go about addressing my objections to the ‘digital identity legislation’ in the submission form provided on the government site. The submission form suggests that the submissions be based on the “exposure draft” which is 149 pages of gobbledegook. One party got back to me saying they are looking into it and the other party has not replied to my email. I spent one night looking up all that I could on the evils of centralized power, even resorting to George Orwell’s book ‘1984’ and the Aldous Huxley’s ‘brave new world’. Yesterday I got a phone call out of the blue from an old friend who knows what we are facing in the church and the world, I mentioned to her that we have until the 27th October to submit our objections to this digital Identity law, hoping she would say yes let’s do this and get others to do the same, however she said she knows of this bill and that it has already passed the first two phases and no matter how many people or organizations submit objections in phase 3, it will still pass. Then she said, if you submit objections, you run the risk of being targeted by the system, she added we must simply pray and totally rely on God. I don’t know what to do. It feels so surreal, like I’m having a nightmare and can’t wake up. I suppose I should not submit any objections Lord have Mercy
Glenn posted this excerpt on the Garabandal info thread. I know most of us have read this in the past but rereading it today, gives new lights, civil liberties have been stripped from people worldwide and as the Church bows to this totalitarian dictatorship and Our Lord is pushed aside as non-essential, the writing is on the wall IMO. Below the 1982 Interview with Mary Loli, regarding what precedes the warning, my comments in blue. TODAY IN GARABANDAL HISTORY : OCTOBER 19, 1982 October 19, 1982 Interview with Mary Loli. Q. Do you remember what the Blessed Mother said about the communist tribulation that is to precede the Warning? A. It would look like the communists would have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to practise the religion, for priests to say Mass or for people to open the doors of the churches. Sort of sounds like today! Q. Is that what you meant when you said that it would seem as though the Church had disappeared? Sounds like today A. Yes. Q. It would be because of the persecution and not because the people would stop practicing their religion? A. Yes, but I guess a lot of people will stop. Whoever practices it will have to go into hiding. Many of us here in Australia are doing just that. Q. Will this only be in Europe or do you think it will be here in the United States as well? A. I don't know because for me at that time, Europe was the whole world. I just assumed it was that way. The Blessed Mother didn't specify in what place. To me it looked like it was everywhere. I believe Our Blessed Mother inspired Mary Loli to believe it was to be everywhere Q. Approximately 67% of the earth s land is now dominated by communism. Do you think that's sufficient to fulfil Our Lady s prophecy? A. I really don't know. It sounded to me like it would be more than that. Q. In other words you think it will be worse than it is now? A. That's what I thought from what she said but I really don't know exactly. To me it looked like it was every place out there, the places I saw in my mind. In a lot of countries in Europe you can still practice your religion. In 1982, nearly 40 years ago, we could practice our faith. Q. So, the situation in the world is not bad enough for the Warning to happen? A. The Warning is not going to happen yet so it's probably going to get worse. Q. You said that it would be very difficult for priests to say Mass. Was this something that the Blessed Mother told you or was it something that you thought yourself because of the communist tribulation? A. From what I remember, it was something she said. Q. And the Virgin said that it would seem as though the Church had disappeared? A. Yes. Q. Did the Blessed Mother ever say anything about the Holy Father having to leave Rome at the time of the Warning? A. No, but what it looked like to me — maybe at this time I was confusing in my mind what I was seeing and what the Blessed Mother was saying to me because it's been so many years — but what it looked like to me was that the Pope couldn't be in Rome either, you know what I mean, out in the open. He was being persecuted, too, and had to hide just like everybody else. The pope was persecuted too and had to hide like everyone else, sort of like in lockdown mode? Q. You said that when the Warning comes, the planes would stop in the air and that all engines would stop. Is this what the Blessed Mother told you? A. She said that everything, everywhere, for a moment would stop and the people would just think and look inside themselves. Q. Will there be any noise with the Warning like a wind blowing? A. The way I saw it at the time, it was more like a big silence, like a sense of emptiness. Everything was very silent. That's the way I saw it. Q. Seven years ago you said that the Warning was soon. Many people thought that it would have happened by now. What would you say today? A. It is soon. Everything looks soon to me because time goes by so fast. Q. You're the only one who knows the year of the Warning. Did you ever tell it to anyone else, like a priest for example? A. No. GARABANDAL MAGAZINE (1982) Reprinted From Garabandal Interational Magazine October-December 2004
Yes ' soon' can mean a thousand years or even 2000 years, Why? I believe it is because mankind looks at Gods works , as man looks at his own works something that is to happen is always in the now and soon. To God who lives outside of time, everything present is in the eternal now which is the heavenly realm. However, Jesus told us on earth to look at a number of physical events (in the sky's and around us), to know when these last times (on earth) will occur. This leads us to Our Lady's Apparitions over the years and what Our Blessed Mother has said and forewarned us about. We are to remain faithful when all seems lost, this will be hard, but this is the calling of the faithful! Jesus, Mary and St Joseph I love you, save souls.
Oh, I can see clearly what you’re dealing with…and it’s what the world will be dealing with. Digital everything,…including currency is in the works globally. I believe this control mechanism has been in the works globally for some time and although this is coming to your nation first, yours won’t be the last. When every nation allows the most personal violation of your human rights and liberties to be infringed upon via the vaccine mandate, then it’s reasonable to assume that they will continue to encroach on every right. What’s coming is bad and I believe it’s the world we all feared was coming for a long time. The forces we’re in engaged in this battle with are spiritual and our remedy is spiritual. I’m not saying that we surrender to this, we absolutely should not. We fight the good fight however best we can. But because this is a spiritual evil that we are up against, we must fight this on a spiritual level. Repeatedly we’ve been told that the rosary is the weapon and we fight this war on our knees first. If the war were are facing is the institution and installation of the NWO, then this global form, THE MOTHER OF GOD members will be United in this together. We will be universally under attack for the same control for our sovereignty and spirituality. We need to be United now and praying for the destruction of the evil forces who would try to impose the NWO and seek control over every aspect of our life. I believe that this pandemic has spiritual roots. The world governments have used this as a tool to exercise and expand control over our human right with mandates. People from numerous nations are protesting the mandates and passports. If our rights are lost on this one crisis, then do not expect to retrieve these right back. Government will never reissued rights already conceded. They will only progress to usurp even more…and that will be with the digital identity, digital currency, digital everything. Once they achieved digitizing every aspects of our life, they will have data to manipulate the institution of the NWO. This is just my opinion, but each and every day, it’s looking more and more like we are not facing a national crisis, but a global crisis….and we’re all familiar with the leftist mantra, “ Don't let a good crisis go to waste”. If this is part of prophecy, then regardless of the outcome, if we’re on Gods side, we’re on the right side. We will need enormous amounts of grace to get through this….as your expressed frustration and most recent attempts to object to the digital identity demonstrate, this is just the beginning. This is going to be hard….
It is what the Lord expects of us...to stand against the tide. But does this mean that all authentic believers should end up in "the Coliseum?" I really don't know. Look at the different responses of Josephite and her friend. Her friend doesn't want to be targeted by the system. Josephite is considering voicing her objections which may result in her being targeted. If Josephite does so, does that mean she is more faithful to Christ than her friend? (She must be faithful to what Jesus asks of her). Is the point of that compromise which equates with unfaithfulness, the same for each one of us? I'm not sure, because we have entered into the realm of personal conscience. As the noose tightens, those of us on MOG might make different choices; some of us might move further down the road toward persecution than others. If we do, are we more right than those who don't? Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren." How many disciples fled in the Garden? How many disciples were at the foot of the Cross? Most apostles acquiesced. Yet Jesus' Mercy won out and 120 disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost! Let us call each other on, but let only He Who is the Sifter of hearts be the Ultimate Judge. I think this means that each of us must seek out a mentor (i.e. spiritual director) as these days unfold to help us in our personal choices. This will help prevent us from judging others, or condemning ourselves as not holy enough. Mary, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!
Beautifully and tenderly expressed, Mario. I agree. We are all not called to the same battles. The key to knowing is in our discernment, in listening to our conscience.
