I ask for your prayers. While praying after Holy Mass I was struck by two lines in the reading from First John. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared... I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth. Most of us on the Forum would agree there are now any number of antichrists in the world. Unlike John's audience, however, many Catholics of our day don't know truth from fiction, nor the signs of the times. About seven years ago, I talked with a wonderful lady who oversees a local Catholic radio network about running a weekly program on Catholic education/homeschooling, but it never materialized. Today, time is of the essence and I feel as if the Lord was asking me to educate the local Church on the signs of the times. The show should contain the following ingredients: 1) the role of private revelation 2) the Marian Age in which we live 3) Consecration to the Two Hearts 4) Economic turmoil and other concerns 5) The promises and warnings of Our Lady 6) Personal response and reasonable preperation Each ingredient could be presented in an hourly segment that would include an opportunity for audience feedback. It sounds wild, but the last time I mentioned my concerns to my spiritual director, he said that I should only go public if the platform was credible. Please pray as I seek confirmation and also pray for the meeting I'll have with Carol Fisher. It would be her network on which the show would be broadcast. The urgency of the hour requires action, now! Thanks! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Wow!!! That's really wonderful Terry and is a great, great source of joy and consolation to me, the Hand of the Lord is most certainly present here. For what it's worth, may I prayerfully advise. as I myself as been prayerfully advised, is that you withdraw for a while before this Apostolate and kneel at the feet of Our Blesssed Lady and seek her Counsel..to go to the Desert.. I believe she has a few words to say to you before speaking.... pray a few rosaries before speaking (Prayer of Solomon] 191. God of my fathers, God of mercy, you created all things by your word, and by your wisdom you formed man that he might have dominion over all the creatures you have made; that he might govern the world in fairness and justice and pronounce judgement with an upright heart; give me this Wisdom that sits with you on your throne. Do not exclude me from the number of your children for I am your servant and the son of your handmaid, a man who is weak and short-lived, with little understanding of judgement and laws. For even though a person be considered perfect among the children of men, he is nonetheless worthless if your Wisdom does not dwell in him. 192. It is your Wisdom who has knowledge of your works, who was with you when you made the world, and who knows what is pleasing in your sight and shows what is right according to your commandments. Send him then from your sanctuary in heaven and from the throne of your majesty, for him to be with me and work with me so that I may know what is pleasing to you; for he possesses the knowledge and understanding of all things. He will lead me in all my works with true perception, and by his power will guard me. My actions then will be pleasing to you and I will lead your people with justice and be worthy of the throne of my father; for what man can know the designs of God, or can discover what is his will? The thoughts of men are unsure and their plans uncertain, for a perishable body weighs heavily upon their soul, and the earthly dwelling depresses the spirit disturbed by many cares. We understand only with difficulty what is happening upon earth and we find it hard to discern even what is before our eyes. How can we know what is happening in heaven, and how can we know your thoughts unless you give us your Wisdom and send us your Holy Spirit from heaven so that he may straighten out the paths of those living on earth and teach us what is pleasing to you. Lord, it is through your Wisdom that all those who have been pleasing to you since the beginning of time have been saved. (Wis 9.1-6, 9-19) 193. To vocal prayer we must add mental prayer, which enlightens the mind, inflames the heart and disposes the soul to listen to the voice of Wisdom, to savour his delights and possess his treasures. For myself, I know of no better way of establishing the kingdom of God, Eternal Wisdom, than to unite vocal and mental prayer by saying the holy Rosary and meditating on its fifteen mysteries. St Lpuis De Montford
Padraig, Great advice and a great prayer. Thanks! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for me! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
