The Mystical Encounters Of John Paul II Karol Wojtyla, John Paul II, was not only a spiritual leader, but he had a direct channel to the Divine, a mystical connection that transcended the limits of the earthly. Imbued with a magnetic charisma and a bearing that seemed straight out of the big screen, he was much more than a Pope; he was a prophet for our time. His most intimate collaborators witnessed his supernatural spiritual life and a deep comunion with God that few could fully understand. Guided by the Virgin Mary, his pontificate was marked by prophecies that are unfolding before our eyes today. And advice that invites us to reject hopelessness and trust in God’s final victory. Here we will explore the supernatural gifts that John Paul II had, his deep connection with the Virgin Mary, and the prophecies that he left us for our time and that are marking our future. https://spiritdaily.org/blog/mystics/66610
Satan knows that he can't win, but his hatred of God and mankind (especially the Woman) spurs him on. He strikes at God by assaulting the human race. He has weapons of annihilation ( abortion) and weapons of addiction (pornography). JoeJerk has stooges among humans who do his bidding because it feeds their own lust for power and dominance. We are on the verge of a war that will bring death and destruction into the towns and cities in which we live. If he can't deter us from faithfulness to Christ, he will do all he can to make us suffer. What drives him nuts is not that God prevents him from such diabolical strategies, but rather the children of the Woman who clothe themselves in meekness, hope, and love, who remain little, who rather than fleeing from the Cross, are willing to pick up their crosses in imitation of the Son of God. The Evil One rejected God's Plan at the beginning. Let us, mere flesh and blood, confound him by following God's Plan. JoeJerk can only flee in the face of our embrace of humility. 1 Peter 5: 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. 11 To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
I entirely agree, as you say God uses our littleness to confound satan. But there is something here, something very interesting and I have no clue what it is. Somehow God created a trap within the Church for satan. This is how God likes to operate, he baits evil into hanging itself by its own devices. I get the sense that somehow when satan entered the church, he opened the door for the Holy Spirit to take him out. Isaiah 24:18 And it shall come to pass, that he that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken
The most surprising step downwards is "man not made in God's image", because modernists like to give the impression that they, and only they, possess the gift of omniscience. Perhaps they mean God is not worthy of them.
Yes - we have a man in charge of the Church who believes that Divine commandments are mere rules and ideals that can be ignored on a whim.
Our Lady told me that prayer is the Bread of Faith. Without prayer Faith dies out. Like a guttering candle. I think this is the central problem, people, especially our higher clergy and theologians, are simply not praying enough..or maybe not even praying at all. Without prayer Faith is like a guttering candle going out. How can we have a Living Relationship with a God we never talk too?
Does anyone think that a possible reform of the papacy - aiming to restructure the papal primacy in light of synodality - will have consequences for the mechanism of choosing the next pope?
Many of them being the hippies that they are, they are totally out of date and behind the times. Could anything more cringeworthy be imagined than a folk Mass? Folk music itself, as it exists in the eyes of modernist churchmen is a derivative of that 'people's' music propagated by the American communist party in the 1950's and early '60's. It has very little to do with real folk music. Some of the latter would probably be suitable for a Mass, for example the work of Sean O' Riada, but most would not, nor, in fairness, did it ever pretend to be. Modernism itself is a completely obsolete outcrop of Logical Positivism, a philosophy of absolute scepticism which denies the reality of anything that cannot be empirically proven. It offers no proof itself, merely scoffing as false at anything which can't be proven. Logical Positivism is as dead as a dodo. It has been for a very long time. It was primarily a product of a group of Viennese philosophers known as the Vienna School. They formulated this philosophy in the nineteen twenties. They were, of course, all atheists, eagerly looking to rationalise a philosophy upon which to hang their prejudices. Unquestionably, they were very clever. They fooled many. On the fringes of this group was a devout Lutheran from an orthodox Lutheran family. He wasn't studying philosophy, but mathematics. Not only was he too quite clever, but orders of magnitude more intelligent than the rest. In the nineteen thirties, he provided a mathematical theorem (a theorem is regarded as fact and intrinsically proven and not to be confused with 'theory') which not only showed unequivocally that Logical Positivism is false, but conveniently and ironically provided the logical positivists with that for which they always loudly demanded...irrefutable proof. His name was Kurt Goedel, and he gave us his Incompleteness Theorem of mathematics. With the death of Logical Positivism also died all philosophies and schools of thought which based their epistemology upon absolute scepticism, accompanied with a demand for undeniable and absolute proof. Goedel had shown that almost all knowledge, and more particularly higher knowledge, is beyond proof in a universe that is considered to be rational. This extraordinarily significant and fundamental fact has been very slow in filtering through to the mainstream of epistomology. For example, its implications in the field of physics were clearly pointed out in 1966 by (Father) Stanley Jaki, but only struck home in the mind of the alleged great genius Stephen Hawking around the turn of the century, although his subsequent theorising seemed to show he still lacked comprehension of the implications. To conclude, the scoffing scepticism of the modernists is left without a leg to stand upon, but they don't have the slightest notion that this is the case, nor, unfortunately, do most of those who oppose them. Let us pray for the dawning of the Truth.
When I went to Cologne, Germany years ago, I saw a square of his bloodstained cassock simply (and evidently, not securely) displayed in the famous Koln Cathedral. I was saddened to learn later that it had been stolen…
I was listening to a piece on St Pope Pius X today. They mentioned something about the saint that touched me. The Pope was talking to a French Bishop in whose Diocese was a famous French intellectual who had been excommunicated for being a Modernist heretic. Pope Pius asked the Bishop that if the heretic took a step towards the Bishop that he should take two steps to him. In other words to be kind and understanding. Like the father of the prodigal son. This reminded me not to be to hard on these poor people. Hard in the sense of defeating the heresy itself. But kind in the sense of seeking these poor poor peoples salvation. Harsh to the sin. Kind to the sinner. I think I myself tend to be too harsh on them. But they really bring out the cranky side of me. I shall try to be kinder to them as people. But not to their ideas. I hate the thought of anyone winding up in hell.
Wow! I wonder if Papa Frankie is loosing the plot? He says that there is, 'Too much faggotry in the Vatican'? Well whose fault is that? (He's in charge). The last time he used the term faggotry he apoligised for it. But a few days later he uses the same term again? Weird. Also he said homosexuals are not to be admitted to seminaries and then wrote a letter to a homosexual seminarian telling him he should go ahead with his priestly vocation. Even Michael Loftus is shocked. I sense Michael is getting tired popeexplaining the unexplainable. Its all nuts.
I have been doing more study on scripture trying to find out some things. I found out that the name "Jonah" means dove, which we know represents the Holy Spirit. - Jonah was sleeping in the boat when the storm came on. - Jesus was sleeping in the boat when the storm came on. - Jonah was woken by the captain because of the storm. - Jesus was woken by the apostles because of the storm. He also rebuked the storm the same as He did demons, which tells me the storm of Jonah was brought on by demons. - Jonah was swallowed by a huge fish and went into the depths for 3 days. - Jesus dies on the cross. Then Jesus went down to hell, smashed down it's gates, and rescued souls. He also now holds the keys to death and hades. - Jonah was spit up by the huge fish - Jesus was resurrected from the dead. - Jesus also told Peter to catch a fish, which would have a coin in it's mouth, which would pay the temple tax. This coin was a silver coin worth 4 drachma. Enough for both Peter and Jesus. This coin had an image of the god Melqart on it, who is the son of ba'al and astarte. This god is also the god of dying and resurrection. Which likely indicates that the fish that swallowed Jonah represented a demon that tries to ape Jesus. As well, God has to command the huge fish to spit up Jonah. - St. Peter is also known as Simon bar Jonah - When Jonah prophesied to Nineveh, he said the chastisement would come in 40 days. - Jesus stayed with the apostles until the Ascension 40 days later. 10 days later the Holy Spirit Descended. Jesus tells us that the Holy Spirit could not come unless Jesus Ascended. I get the sense that Jonah represents the mystical body of Christ on earth. It's possible the mystical body of Christ is used as bait to be consumed by evil. It gets swallowed up, but evil can't consume it because it is marked by the Holy Spirit. We also know that what is rendered unto Caesar is Caesar's, and what is rendered unto God is God's. When Jesus said he would only give the sign of Jonah, that could also mean he was going to give the sign of the Holy Spirit. So the mystical body of Christ gets taken down into the depths, only to be spit up again three days later. But it also seems like the Holy Spirit goes down into the depths of hell too.
If I was conducting a party at home and there had been drink taken and one of the guests complained about too many , 'Faggots' in seminaries I would be concerned. Why? Because it is an insulting inflamatory term which might cause punches to be thrown. However if the same guest apologised I would be relieved and write it off to too much drink. However I would be determined to keep an eye on the guy. If a little while later the same gentleman said there was too many faggots in the Vatican, I would be sure he was drunk and escort him (by force if necessary) out the front door. Sure by this stage he was either drunk or mad and sure to start a fight. Papa Frankie is at the biggest party in the World. Billions of people are listening to him. He is supposed to be the most influential Religious Leader on the Planet. Yet he used the terms , 'Faggots' , twice in a few days. I assume he is not drunk. But is he , I wonder, entirely sane? Opiate pain killers? Can you imagine Pope Benedict or Pope St John Paul 2 using the term, 'faggots', like this in a million years?..and not once but twice in a couple of days..and in public? There is a screw gone loose, no doubt about it. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/faggot faggot 1 [ fag-uht ] Phonetic (Standard)IPA noun , Slang. Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a contemptuous term used to refer to a gay person, especially a gay man. Offensive. a contemptible or dislikable person.
I wondered if he's under the influence of any medication he takes for one of the many health problems he has.
I am old enough to have noticed very bad people who are about to die (and I suspect have gone to hell) acting in weird, praeternatural, spooky, bizarre ways. Just like Papa Frankie is currently doing. Others have noticed this in the dying too and this kind of behaviour is recorded in the Medical Literature. I must look it up. They have some kind of name for it. Because most Western Doctors have no sense of the supernatural they term it an abreaction. I think it's a sign of where the dying are going. Spooky. Spooky. Very, very , Spooky What next?
In order to lose something, one has to have it in the first place. Either that, or this is an example of what is known as 'gaslighting'.
Pope says he wants to visit Turkey for Council of Nicaea anniversary By Reuters June 28, 20248:03 AM GMT-3Updated a day ago Pope Francis greets the crowd on the day he holds a weekly general audience at Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican, June 26, 2024. REUTERS/Yara Nardi/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab VATICAN CITY, June 28 (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Friday he wanted to visit Turkey next year to celebrate the anniversary of the first council of the Christian Church. "It's a trip that I desire to go on, with all my heart," the pontiff told a delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in Istanbul, a Vatican statement said. The early centuries of Christianity were marked by lively debate about how Jesus could be both God and man, and the Church decided on the issue at the First Council of Nicaea - now known as Iznik - in 325. Earlier in May, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who is based in Istanbul, said Francis was planning to visit the city before heading to Iznik. The Pope's travel agenda for this year includes a September trip to Asia and Oceania, the longest of his 11-year papacy, with stops in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore. At the end of September he is expected in Brussels and Luxembourg for a 4-day trip. Get the latest news and expert analysis about the state of the global economy with Reuters Econ World.
