'There will be a great war and the faithful soldiers will fight in defense of the truth' One old Irish Grump and two Japanese Akita's at the ready.
Yes, that is the one, Padraig! Two Japanese Akitas who eat chicken dinners. and probably people ankles.
Well they say dogs take after their owners. I better see a head shrinker. Next time I head for Rome I intend to bring them with me.
They are really great protectors and have saved my neck a few times now. The last time was a month or so ago when I was walking the park at night. A young guy crazy on drugs shouted at me from the dark in the trees. I ignored him and he ran towards me screaming and shouting. The dogs went on alert. They are not really barkers they just kind of freeze and stare hard. I warned him he would get chewed up really bad if he came closer. He circled me but the dogs circled with him. He eventually wandered off. I have noticed this with folks on drugs a few times , I think the demons inside them know folks who pray and recognise them and drive on the people they own to attack. Akitas are the National dog of Japan and were used as war dogs, to hunt bears , as guard dogs and to pull sleds. I have owned large dogs before like German Shepherds and Rottweillers but Akitas are the canine version of an automatic shotgun. As far as guarding is concerned you do not have to tell them anything they just do. Did you know that St John Bosco had an angelic dog who used to protect him? I think his name was Grigio. He saved St John's life a few times. https://www.fisheaters.com/animals11.html Was it an angel or was it a dog? The life of Don Bosco furnishes us with a remarkable and interesting story of what appears to many an angelic intervention in saving the life of this servant of God from the fierce attacks of the Waldensian heretics, who made several attempts to assassinate him. These heretics were furious at the good done by Don Bosco and sought by violent means to rid themselves of his influence. Some of their adherents were men of the lowest and most vicious type, and these they hired to carry out their nefarious designs. When returning home one night through a bad and dangerous part of the town, he saw a magnificent dog of huge size following him. At first he was frightened but quickly came to see that the dog was friendly. The animal walked by his side and accompanied him to the door of his house and then went away. This happened five, six or eight times. He called the dog Grigio. What did it mean? He was soon to learn. Hastening home by himself, some time after the first appearance of the dog, two shots were fired at him by an assassin from behind a tree. Both shots missed their mark, but his assailant then rushed at and grappled with him. At that moment, Grigio appeared and sank his teeth into the flesh of the would-be murderer, who fled away shrieking with pain. On a second occasion, two men lay in wait for him and threw a sack over his head. This time it seemed all was over with him, but Grigio unexpectedly came to his rescue and jumped at one of the ruffians, seizing him by the throat. The other fled in terror. Don Bosco had then to liberate the first from the fangs of Grigio, who still held him by the throat. A third time, no less than twelve hired assassins, armed with clubs, lay in ambush, into which Don Bosco walked unawares. Again, escape seemed impossible, but once more Grigio bounded into the midst of the group, and his fierce look and savage growl proved enough. The men made off as quickly as they could. Sometimes the dog entered Don Bosco's house, but always with some reason, either to accompany him on a night journey or to prevent his leaving the house. No amount of animal instinct could explain these unexpected appearances of the dog. On one of these occasions, when Don Bosco tried to go out, the great dog lay across the door and growled in such a menacing way that St. John was forced to remain at home. And it was well that he did so, for shortly afterwards a gentleman arrived to warn him not to leave the house on any consideration, as the heretics lay in wait to kill him. As long as the persecution lasted, Grigio never failed to be at his post and when the danger passed he was seen no more. Whence he came or whither he went no one knew. Ten years later, Don Bosco had to go to the farmhouse of some friends and had been advised that the road was dangerous. "If only I had Grigio," he said. At once the great dog appeared by his side, as if he had heard the words, giving signs of the greatest joy. Both man and dog arrived safely at the farmhouse and went into the dining room, where the family invited Don Bosco to take part in the evening meal. The dog lay down. No one thought any more of him. When the repast was finished the master of the house proposed to feed the dog. But he was gone! Doors and windows had been closed; how did he go? In 1883, that was more than thirty years after the dog's first appearance, he appeared once more in a different locality to guide Don Bosco, who had lost his way. How [are we to] explain those wonderful appearances of the dog, at the most opportune moments and in different localities? Surely we may believe that this was angelic intervention. [Especially is this so because the great dog was never known to eat.]
Padraig will this be a war within the church ie spiritual as presently with true believers expelled or does Our Lady refer to a war between nations. I'm a bit confused and apprehensive. What's your insight?
You know Mary I have been studying Catholic Prophesy for most of my life and thought I knew a thing or two about what occur in the future until the last few years when events began to shape up within the Catholic Church and it suddenly hit me that I Had been looking at things back to front. I had thought that the Chastisement would come about because of the wickedness in the world. But instead of which , (which I should have know from places like Akita and Fatima) the Chastisement will come about not because of what is happening in the World (mostly); no what is about to occur is because of what is happening in the Church. I believe we get incredible insight into this in the words of Jesus which are in fact incredibly Prophetic: Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Now the , 'Salt of the Earth is of course the Church. But notice what Jesus says at the end, 'It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.' So with the present generalised Apostasy and Heresy of the Vatican we have moved into the phase of the Chastisement . This comes in two ways. The Church herself will be, 'trampled underfoot' because she has apostciised and given up the Faith of our Fathers marrying the Church to the world; an abomination. So the world which the present Liberal Vatican so loves is about to turn on the true Church (those who remain Faithful) and tears her so lke so many raging lions Again Jesus refers to this period when He says: Luke 18:8 The Persistent Widow …7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help? 8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?” 9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:… In other words Jesus is prohetically referring to the Great Persecution which is about to occur and tells us, 'He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf' In other words the Great Perescution leads on to the fullness of the Chastisemnt when the world pulls down the Fire from Heaven on their own heads. We also see this in the Book of Revelation when the smoke of the prayers of the Martyrs goes up before God demanding Justice: Revelation 8:4 The Seventh Seal …3Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel. 5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were rolls of thunder, and rumblings, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.…
Again the Justice of God which is about to be exercised comes in several forms. I think it is well described in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Or to put it more simply we are about to have everything up to and including the kitchen sink thrown at us. However this Chastisement is in two forms, so to speak. One in the natural order and one in the supernatural . In the natural order events such as wars and famines and plagues, great Earthquakes. But in the supernatural, the direct intervention from God such as fire falling from heaven. This was well described at Akita and Fatima. {8:6} And the seven Angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves, in order to sound the trumpet. {8:7} And the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burned. {8:8} And the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like blood. {8:9} And a third part of the creatures that were living in the sea died. And a third part of the ships were destroyed. Visionary Pedro Régis: “Blood will fall from above and fire will flow on waters.” (Message 3260 from Our Lady of Peace, Anguera, Brazil; 01/01/2010)
I pray that I, my family and all of us will get the grace to withstand. A.C Emmerich saw the early martyrs she observed the ancient Romans were made of steel both persecuted and persecutors. Parents saw their children being tortured and never flinched. She lamented the softness of christians of her own time. What would she say of us now who live lives of luxury. I dread to think how I would fare if tortured. I just now trust in God to help me and not test me past my strength.
Well Mary as the old Irish saying goes, 'God gives the back for the burden'. Our forefathers suffered and died for the Faith for many centuries and you saw how the tree of the Church was well watered with the blood of the martyrs. The difficulty in looking towards the future is that we are not there yet. Since we are not ther eyet we ahve not been given the graces we require for those times as yet. Yesterday if gone, tomorrow has not come yet. We have only the now and it is for the now that God gives us the graces for. Jesus warned us not to worry and get caught up to much about worrying about the future:
You know there is one very telling comment from Sr Lucia and the other young visionaries at Fatima, they said, 'Our Lady never smiled once in all her appearances'. Nope never smiled once. We should store these words up in our hearts, They tell us something.
Going to Fatima next month, first time ever. I think it will be a very different experience from Medjugorje. Our Lady is always so encouraging to us there and yes smiling. So time to get serious.
Thankyou for all of this. I knew a bit about St. John Bosco but loved reading the details. Your dogs are beautiful and noble but I can see the fierceness. We leave in a few weeks for Japan and I am hoping to get to Akita. There is a shrine there I believe. We're your dogs difficult to train?
