Countdown to the Kingdom

I’ve almost put my boxing gloves on several times. Then I go back and look at what I wrote, and, shall we say, remove the gloves? My Guardian Dear is most certainly being given a run for his money!

 

Thank God for our Guardian Angels.

 

Pedro – Heading for War

Our Lady Queen of Peace to Pedro Regis on September 24, 2020:

Dear children, onward without fear. You are not alone. The way of holiness is full of obstacles, but the Lord will never leave you on your own. Be men and women of prayer. When you are far away, you become the target of God’s enemy. Strengthen yourselves in the hearing and living of the Gospel. Seek the Mercy of My Jesus through the Sacrament of Confession, for only thus you can receive Him in the Eucharist. Be attentive. You are heading for a great war.* Stay with Jesus. Leave the darkness and remain in the Light of the Lord. Your victory is in Jesus. Do not stray from Him who is your Only Way, Truth and Life. Give me your hands and I will lead you to holiness. Courage. Those who remain faithful to the true Magisterium of the Church of My Jesus will be saved. This is the message that I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for having allowed Me to gather you here once more. I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace.

*When this message was given yesterday, President Vladimir Putin of Russia announced that, today, there would be “war games” with China, Russia, and other countries “amid fresh tensions with the West.”[1] Note that China and Russia, in particular, have been mentioned by several seers as key players in a conflict with the West. For example, this message from Gisella Cardia and this one from Jennifer, as well as these “now words” from Mark Mallett on China here and here. Likewise, read A Time to Weep on what the popes have been warning about war.

 

ETA,

I am hesitant about the primary interpretation of this message. Why? When I read, ...You are heading for a great war*, I immediately assumed a man-made war. The note appears to confirm this. Later in the message, however, it states: Your victory is in Jesus... This alludes to a spiritual battle I believe, for unlike a Zeus, Jesus doesn't throw lightning bolts or missiles for that matter; He wins through the Cross. And notice how we are to fight: with prayer. Also, we are the target of what enemy: not Russia, but satan! So I believe, the primary message is: we need to focus on spiritual warfare!

Thus I ask: who composed the note: Pedro or CTTK? It appears to be CTTK, at least I think so. They were a little quick on the draw in my opinion (pun intended!)

Canticle of Canticles 6:9 Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?

 

Yes, I would say that the mention of staying faithful to the true Magisterium of the Church and how to prepare for such a coming "war" gave emphasis to the Spiritual level of battle to be faced. Of course the fear factor mentioned could be included since the outcome of even that war could be persecution on the physical level as well and even then perhaps also a physical martyrdom. When true Christians are targeted after the "new" order is established, which would also include the apostatized institutional church, there could also be strong physical wars in various places that use that strong war like force against them.

 

There is a Paradigm is the lives of the saints and of their works as Mark Mallett has indicated that they are attacked by the devil and those whom the devil has raised up against it, them. THis musch is true. But wher ethe Paradigm appears to differ in the Case of Countdown to the Kingdom as compared to that of the saints is this.

In the case of the saints they, in imitation of Jesus fell silent in the face of attacks.

In the case of Countdown to the Kingdom not only have they not been silent, but also outspoken in their own defense but even in praise of their own works, which they extol highly.

This is another thing about all that I find very,very troubling. I could not imagine , for instance St Andre Bessett, Padre Pio or Solanus Casey doing this. They just went quiet. No defense at all.

In contrast Countdown to the Kingdom is like a little army marching out to go to war to justify themselves with real vim and fury. Like a roused hive of angry wasps. Not simply defending themselves and their works but imputing diabolical inspiration to those who dared to critique them.

Jesus and the saints may have been silent before their accusers, not so the folks at Countdown to the Kingdom.

Not even an itsy bitsy little bit silent.

I'm not quite sure how to square this circle. Are they and their works too important for such silence?

 

Hi Christy,

- Yes we agree he was banned in 3 dioceses. History will tell if he was a prophet or just a fool for Christ, and he could be either as far as I know, but Jesus spoke specifically about this very thing. "And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country." Let's not forget the dozens or even 100's of diocese he was gladly and warmly welcomed into in USA and Canada.

- MM felt called to this roll as you likely know. I know he runs many if not most of his writings through his spiritual director. Something few seem to do. Is he truthful in saying he does? (eg. Fr. Michael?) I would hope so, he more than most seem to understand what God would have against him if he was lying to the faithful. I believe he is well studied and researched, you only have to read a few writings to see this. As for channeling the Holy Spirit (inner locutions), we are all called to do this, some are very in tune with the spirit and it is my belief from what I've read he is. Can he be mislead? Can he make mistakes? Can/could he be wrong in some discernments? Yes, yes and yes. MM has written many times his fear of misleading the flock and often won't even post something for weeks or months praying on it and getting an ok from his spiritual director.

- You use the word "teacher" of the faith. Never read or heard or thought that before. I don't think he is a teacher of the faith at all, that is for priests, bishops etc. We all know the faith already and if I have questions regarding faith I bring it to my priest not MM. I see him as someone who helps link our modern times we live in with our faith using all manner of sources. Focusing more on church teaching, popes, mystic, historical prophecy and even more modern prophecy. We are all called (not just the priests and bishops) to not despise prophecy but test it and keep what is good. This is the point everyone choices to live or die on and could argue about for eternity.

- you seem to blame MM for broadcasting Fr. Michael. Fr. Michael's talks were everywhere including on MOG long before CTTK ever existed. Padraig you are in trouble allowing it be broadcasted here! I think they dropped the ball on this one too! Christine should have done this homework for her book! Watching much of Fr. Michael I kept thinking, show me even one brother or sister of his, the actual name of people he has exercised, etc. Everything has come from Fr. Michael alone and I have never saw/read about one other source close to him verify anything! That being said, personally, I can filter the spiritual advise from the questionable prophecies relatively easily. I realize many can't and therefore they do have an obligation to vet those they broadcast within reasonable limits. Although no other site has ever done any vetting either and all of the seers on CTTK, not one originates on CTTK so you have to factor that too.

Does Prophetic consensus have to be a theology or is it just logical? A bunch of seers from around the world saying much the same thing. Isn't that all it means?

All too often I read heated critiques among and about other Catholics and see it sort of like robbers looting your house as you argue at the dinner table. Like the bible says "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Sorry to ramble. All the best and God bless!

One last point, I'm not surprised they don't have time to take and respond to comments and critiques. You could turn that into a fruitless, pointless full time job!! I am certain they happen on MOG and check out what is being said about them and other places but expecting them to respond to every comment isn't realistic. I fully understand why this bothers people and therefore they become a take them or leave them thing.

 

The Acts of the Apostles is story after story of not being silent in the face of attacks but I do get your point. Is what people would like to see from them is some obvious humility? The prophets of the bible certainly never backed down. I see their role more closely to prophet than saint. Bottom line if they are right we will know soon enough. If wrong they will be VERY wrong! I am certainly not saying they are either!! More likely, well meaning, flawed Catholics at best.

 

Jesus replied to honest critique but fell silent in the face of wicked intent and slander. Which is one reason we call Him the Lamb of God,

Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

The saints who follow in the path of Christ did the same thing. They fell silent.

The folks at Countdown to the Kingdom themselves claim that they too are a victims of diabolic slander yet themselves fall far from silent; quite the reverse.

We are all flawed. Hopefully most of us are well meaning. That does not leave us above being critiqued and entering into open and honest discussion about such critique.

It is true we will know soon enough what is what. In which case the rush to man the barricades by the Count Down to the Kingdom folks puzzles me. It seems illogical since , if they are right time will soon enough be proved right. Why this rush to circle the wagons?

 

I'm going to leave this thread now. I don't wish to go round and round in circles repeating the same points.

Bye.

 

Ellen, just to let you know I agree with what you have written.

I have found if someone on the forum has a grudge against any alleged seer, alleged messenger or now it appears writer, you are wasting your time expecting a charitable exchange. You could even find yourself cancelled (the now word).

The only safe peaceful way forward is to ignore any purported discernment, because it is like watching a victim torn to shreds, and you as well, if you dare try to defend the victim in vogue.

Don't let any internet stranger get under your skin. Lets face it, they can be 99% on target and still be doing the devils work for him with that other 1%.

Be at peace. And God bless.

 

And on the Lord’s Day you raise a blessing at the end of your unkind words towards others woven throughout this post?!

"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!”

 

There is nothing unkind in a straight observation. If the cap fits, wear it. I am sure Saint Michael would agree. Peace!

 

You are in denial. And you’re still being nasty but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not seeing that. Getting ready for Sunday Mass now.

 

A Bible verse to ponder on a Sunday morning, Julia.

Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

He did??????

 

Seems we have a few "comment victims" here as well!! Ha!

 

My issue...

MM writes way too long

i can never finish

therefore i can’t comment

But i guess i just did


Lol

FR. RODRIGUE RESPONDS TO BISHOPS


I note Fr. Rodrigue uses the word "collaborate" rather than "obey" or "submit."

September 23, 2020

On the liturgical feast of Saint Padre Pio

After having read the public letter of September 3, 2020 published by Bishop Gilles Lemay from the Diocese of Amos, I would like to reiterate my fidelity to the teaching of the Catholic Church to all the faithful who read this letter.

I have been a priest since June 2, 1989, incardinated in the diocese of Hearst. In May 2011, I met Bishop Gilles Lemay to share with him the spiritual experience of the call to found a semi-monastic fraternity currently known as the Apostolic Fraternity of Saint Benedict-Joseph Labre. I arrived in the diocese of Amos on August 1, 2011. According to the original verbal agreement, which was for a period of three years, I was appointed pastor of the Cathedral of Amos and of Christ the King parish on August 15, 2011. In September 2011, I also accepted the parish-mission of Pikogan.

In 2014 at the request of the Bishop, I happily extended the cure for these same parishes for a period of two years. There, I met parishioners of great pastoral collaboration.

It was on June 20, 2012, that the Bishop granted the Approval Decree of the Apostolic Fraternity Saint Benedict-Joseph Labre.

In 2016, I accepted the cure of the parishes of St-Félix-de-Dalquier, St-Dominique du-Rosaire and Sacré-Coeur de Matagami, which according to the agreement, allowed for the development of the Apostolic Fraternity of Saint Benedict- Joseph Labre, located in St-Dominique-du-Rosaire.

In 2019, I preached a spiritual retreat in California which was featured on the Countdown to the Kingdom website. Besides personal messages, the teaching given was based on the messages of the Virgin Mary approved by the Church and in accordance with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, article 7, no 668 to 682.

A confusion has crept into the understanding of this retreat concerning an approval by Bishop Gilles Lemay regarding the messages contained in these conferences. I myself had this confusion corrected. The owners of the Countdown to the Kingdom

website have responded positively and put the comment on their website. I thank them very much.

Besides this, I never claimed that I was the exorcist of the Diocese of Amos. However, whenever I had to do a ministry in this area, I always asked for the approval of the Bishop. I know my pastoral and ecclesial responsibilities well.

In regards to the Apostolic Fraternity of Saint Benedict-Joseph Labre, the project continues to grow and fulfill the Will of the Father in its trust placed in the Hearts of Jesus and of Mary. It is in the joy of the Holy Spirit that we grow together. Our address has not changed and our phone number is still the same. You will find all the information on our website benoitlabre.org. As for the Studium St-Joseph, it

remains online to meet the pressing needs for quality education.

I reiterate my desire to collaborate with the Bishop, the Magisterium of the Church and to maintain a fraternal bond with all people of different circles here, in the United States and with people around the world who support us. Abitibi Témiscamingue was the privileged place for our foundation. In this beautiful region of Quebec, inhabited by people strong in the Holy Spirit, we are happy to be here and to stay here.

Thanks everyone,

Michel Rodrigue, Fabl

Superior of the Apostolic Fraternity of Saint-Benedict-Joseph Labre
