Anyone, remeber the attributed prophecy that was going around before Carlo's canonization? The one where his mother was supposedly in an adoration chapel and she supposedly received a vision of Saint Francis who said, when Carlo is Canonized God will send the Holy Spirit on the earth and and touch the youth or teenagers with sanctifying grace and a whole new generation of Saints will be born. I was really hoping that was going to happen when he was canonized. Yet, i was skeptical because there was nothing out there in a video, or in a question or answer interview in which Carlos mother actually said this. It was just hear say. Thats why when prophecy is concerned the seer being alive with a video or a written interview saying such things as to a prophecy is a guarantee that they said such a prophecy. Yet with Carlos mother, i have not come across a video or a written interview where she said that she had a vision in an adoration chapel of Saint Francis telling her such things. It was a let down for me, but i never really believed it because i took it as hearsay and not documented proof that his mother said it.
I also was skeptical on how God would send the Holy Spirit and touch all teenagers with sanctifying grace when some teenagers maybe in unrepentant mortal sin. This prophecy kind of bypasses the sacraments. By getting baptized, going to confession to get your soul cleaned and receiving the Eucharist and then being touched with Gods sanctifying grace. In the alleged prophecy the wording seemed to indicate that all you have to do to receive Gods sanctifying grace was to just be an adolescent because the Holy Spirit would desend to earth and touch you. However, as i said that by passes what the church believes you need to do to receive Gods sanctifying grace
I read it in an article back when St. Carlo was beatified, and the original supposed prophecy was that when Carlo was canonized, there would rise a generation of great young saints. It never said anything about all the teenagers in the world getting touched with grace, or that the "fulfillment of all prophecy" would occur, as began to be circulated years later. But yeah, there is no proof that I've seen. I've never seen Carlo's mom personally confirm this.
I cant believe how low society has gone and how long without God intervening supernaturally like He did with Moses in Egypt in which a specific event was given and happened as it was said by Moses. Fatima warnings are over 100 years old, Garabandal in the early sixties, Akita, and Medjugorje. Medjugorje going on for 45 years. Although, Jesus did tell Saint Faustina he is prolonging the time of Mercy for the sake of sinners. At Medjugorje, the Blessed Virgin Mary refers this time we are in now as a time of Grace. I suppose the time of Grace is the time of Mercy Jesus spoke of in the Divine Mercy diary. I remember reading that when referring to the 3rd secret of Fatima Pope John the 23rd or another pope was quoted as saying God taking away Grace. If that happened people would go nuts and war would happen instantly. Dont think everybody's grace would be taken away though. Perhaps all those who are not close to God
I think God came and told Noah the Flood was coming a little over a hundred years before it began. 120 years?
God's timing i have learned is always perfect. Never too soon. Never too late. Is it St Peter who tells us God delays punishment so men can repent? I do believe the blatant display of evil these days is causing repentance in many.
