    I almost included a comment like this in my post, they sold us out to the globalists in so many other ways already I wouldn’t put this sort of thing past them. We are truly stuck in the middle between 2 evils, it’s scary.

    Mirjana Dragcervic Soldo, charged by Our Lady, to reveal the ten secrets to the world, through Father Petar Ljubicic, talk about them (2011)

    Pe. Petar: How do you evaluate the current situation in the world?

    Mirjana: There has never been a time like this, never before, God has been so little Honored and disrespected as it is now and so little prayed.
    Everything seems to be more important than God That's the reason why Our Lady cries so much. The number of unbelievers keeps growing. Just fight for a better life God is superfluous, inexpensive! So i feel deeply sad for them around the world.. They don't know, they have no idea what to expect. If you could have a little knowledge of the contents of those secrets, you would have converted in time. God always forgives the sincere convert.

    Pe. Petar: Does Our Lady maybe alert us to other things we should do, besides praying and preparing for that time? Something specific?

    Mirjana: Yes, She told me that you need to PRAY A LOT, until the event of the first secret is revealed. But above all, you need to make sacrifices as much as possible, help others to the extent of our capabilities, fast - especially now, before the 1st secret. Our Lady said we are obliged to prepare!

    Pe. Petar: How do you see the situation around you? How do you see young people? I'm referring to those who live with you, and are closer.

    Mirjana: (at that time I was a teenager studying in Sarajevo). Father I wish you knew how I feel sometimes. There are times when I think I might go crazy. If Our Lady wasn't here, I surely would have gone crazy by now. When I see especially in Sarajevo, how they use God and His Name in their oaths, how foolish they are, how they curse God, these persons have no idea what to expect in the near future. As I look at them and pity them, I feel very sad and pray and cry. I pray Mary to enlighten their minds, because as Jesus said: "they truly do not know what they do ... ". . And still the first two secrets are not entirely severe and grave, I mean, not so much as the other secrets.

    Pe. Petar: Are the secrets of a distinct character or more of a spiritual nature?

    Mirjana: Different, Yes, Different. They will be visible. These will be needed to shake up the world a little. Will make the world stop and think

    Pe. Petar: Something like a disaster?

    Mirjana: It won't be anything as big as that. Later - It will be something that will make the world stop and think seriously, it will allow you to see that Our Lady is really here, and that God exists.

    Pe. Petar: After that, there will still be people who will say: "Is this a natural phenomenon or something?" "

    Mirjana: Maybe some disbelievers can say something like this, after the 1st and 2nd secrets.

    Pe. Petar: I'm curious to know if anyone will be able to say, "I feel something will happen soon" or things like that...

    Mirjana: Well, you can see that there are peculiar things happening in the world. People are unhappy, dissatisfied, greed reigns everywhere, hardly anyone admits they have had enough of anything. But none of this gives any clue about secrecy. It's a secret that will speak for itself and doesn't need hints or hints.

    Pe. Petar: Again, regarding the first secret: who sees it or experiences it, will be convinced that it is the manifestation of the secret? Which will these be?

    Mirjana: Everyone who is here or in the place(s) where the secret will be revealed.

    Pe. Petar: Everyone who wants to see and experience this sign or any other secret, will they have to go to the site?

    Mirjana: Well, Father, certainly no one wants to witness disasters. I don't think this sort of thing appeals to the people. To go and see the sign is one thing, but to go and see the suffering is another.

    Pe. Petar: Even so, wouldn't it be desirable that many people were eyewitnesses, even in something unpleasant to see, which is not a common condition or situation?

    Mirjana: Father, it will be obvious. It will be something that people will hear from afar.

    Pe. Petar: Of the ten secrets that you and Ivanka (now in 2011, also Jacov) have received, do you know which ones will be exactly the same for you and for everyone?

    Mirjana: No. The one above the sign is identical, as there will not be six different signs.

    Pe. Petar: About this sign, you say that it will be indestructible, permanent. (Other seers still say, beautiful... )

    Mirjana: Yes, permanent and unbreakable It will be clear that it is not something created, built and brought to Medjugorje.

    Pe. Petar: Will the manifestation of the sign be during the day or at night? Asking this, am I crossing the line on secrets?

    Mirjana: Oh, this is a secret. I can't answer why it rings.... The secret that has specific date and time. I know the exact day and time

    Pe. Petar: Do some people, without any knowledge or anticipation of anyone, feel that something is about to happen and therefore they will come in large numbers?

    Mirjana: I don't know, but I asked Our Lady something for that purpose. During the manifestation of secret, there will be spiritual conversions. There will be people of all kinds: those who had doubts, didn't believe in anything and still others...

    Pe. Petar: Will there still be hardened despite the visible and tangible warnings and signs?
    Mirjana: yes there will be They are those who have closed their souls to God.

    Fr. Petar: Let me touch on a message from Our Lady that is calling attention to our great enemy - satan. Looks like he's upping his attacks, creating chaos and embracing the whole situation.

    Mirjana: He is responsible for the disbelievers. So Our Lady also said to bless the house with holy water on Saturdays.

    Pe. Petar: Do you think atheism is growing or decreasing?

    Mirjana: GROWING UP! A miracle is needed for atheism to decrease.

    I didn't realize that they had removed fasting from both Mark and Mathew

    Douay-Rheims: Mark C9
    [28] And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

    and now:
    * He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”

    Mathew C17-Douay- Rheims:
    . [18] Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out? [19] Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you. [20] But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.

    and now:
    * j He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

  7. "they" did it deliberately and quietly, and then after a decade they will say it is a Mandela Effect, claiming that fasting was never written in the said passage...

    Account Closed: Banks and Businesses Cancel Christians

    When the National Committee for Religious Freedom, headed by former U.S. Senator and Religious Freedom Ambassador Sam Brownback, needed a bank account, they went to JPMorgan Chase. After only a few weeks they learned their account had been closed.

    Multi-Faith Charity Has Its Account Closed. Why?

    “I went in to make a deposit at a branch here in Kansas about three or four weeks after we’d opened up the account,” Brownback told us, “And the teller there said ‘That account’s been closed.’ And I go, ‘What?’ and they said, ‘That account’s been closed. Your funds will be sent to you in a couple of weeks.’ And then later they came back and said, ‘Well, if you’ll disclose who gives more than 10% of your funds to you and your criteria for supporting candidates as a 501c4 we’ll consider re-opening up the account.’

    Brownback says he received an apology letter but still doesn’t know why the bank made the decision.

    “We want some real answers as to why this happened,” Brownback said, “And normally what I found is that most people just kind of slink away and say, ‘Okay, I got de-banked or I got de-platformed, I’ll go do something else or I’ll find another way.’ And we thought, that’s the very reason we exist, The National Committee for Religious Freedom, so you can have a free exercise which includes public or private and should include your commercial transactions too.

    JP Morgan Chase: This Was Not Religious or Political Discrimination

    CBN News contacted JP Morgan Chase about the incident, and they assured us that, “We would never discontinue a relationship because of religious or political affiliation, and we didn’t with this client…We’re not proud of how we handled communicating with this client about what we needed from them, and have apologized verbally and in writing.”

    And while JP Morgan Chase didn’t give us a reason for the account closure either, they did say “We are required by anti-money laundering laws to conduct customer due diligence.”

    Wondering whether it was discrimination, The National Committee for Religious Freedom has set up a website called “Chased Away.” The group is encouraging people of faith to come forward if they’ve been denied service by a company or bank.

    Needed in ‘Woke’ Corporate Boardrooms: People of Faith

    “It also tells me we need to get people of faith in the boardroom,” Brownback said. “I think we need to start campaigns to get a person of faith on every major corporate board in America.”

    It used to be that companies only wanted your business. These days, they may not, if they think you believe in the wrong things.

    Since the 2020 election, banks and corporations have denied service to some Trump supporters, and Christian employees continue to be fired for speaking out about their faith.

    This year the Canadian government weaponized its financial system against citizens protesting COVID-19 restrictions, freezing their bank accounts.

    U.S. Banking Laws Help Cover for Discrimination

    Banking law expert Nicholas Anthony at the CATO Institute believes American banks could do the same thing. Anthony says, “Banks have really a ton of power that people don’t realize, to shut down accounts, to freeze accounts, and to end up holding them for really any number of reasons. And worse yet, it could really be for any reason. And we don’t get to understand why, because there are many cases in which they’re prohibited by law from saying what actually happened.”

    Earlier this year Republican lawmakers warned banks to stop taking liberal positions on social and cultural issues.

    “I’d heard of this happening to literally dozens of groups,” Brownback says. “I’ve had people tell me they got de-banked or an insurance company denied them.”

    Journalist Rod Dreher, author of Live Not By Lies, believes that increasing numbers of companies care more about their stands on social issues than the bottom line, and he believes Christians will be the victims.

    Dreher warns, “Corporations like Walmart, Apple, and others are richer and more powerful than some countries in this world. Because they believe that they’re fighting for virtue, they’re going to use the power that they have within the corporations and every other institution to persecute the church. People think I’m radical for saying this sort of thing, but I’m telling you, it’s coming.”

    Father Hunwicke, certainly not on the progressivist side, sternly takes a different view in this case:

    I have a Catholic Bible that was copy-written in 1958 and published in 1961. The OT is the Douay Version and the NT version is the Confraternity version. It includes fasting in both the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark.

    But I must positively share that my modern Great Adventure Bible by Ascension Press published in 2018 includes the word fasting along with a footnote pointing out some ancient authorities exclude that word.

    Chapter 8 of the Didache (late 1st century) instructs:1 Let not your fasts be with the hypocrites, for they fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but do you fast on Wednesdays and Fridays. This teaching was given to converts.

    I would like to add that the tendency of those Catholics who regret much of what has come forth from Vatican II in the realm of Church practice, would tend to look at anything connected to the Council negatively. Thus the tendency to support the "fasting" camp in the above clip, since the trend to exorcise the word fasting came subsequent to the Council. The source posted by member, Prayslie, on the other hand, shows that the issue based on ancient manuscripts is much more complicated.

    The primary reason that I'm going to return to a more demanding fasting regimen is based the Didache's stress on fasting. Even Chapter 1 instructed new converts to even fast for those who persecuted them!

    I'm a wimp, so fasting on bread as recommended by Our Lady in Medjugorje will be good for me. I'm been procrastinating for too long. I'll let you know how I'm faring at the end of Advent.o_O:love::LOL:

    The simplest answer to the "and fasting" question is that some ancient textual sources have those words and some don't. But, for Catholics that is not important. The Vulgate has always had the words "and fasting" in those verses. The Vulgate is the official text of the Bible according to the Council of Trent.

    Why use the Vulgate? Because St. Jerome had access to many more ancient source texts in his day (300s AD) than do modern Biblical scholars. Many of those ancient source texts were lost because the Vulgate was the standard Bible for almost 1700 years. All of the Catholic Church Magisterium is based on the standard Vulgate text, not some other version of the Bible.

    Protestants promote the use of the other textual variants because they disagree with the Catholic Church teaching on many issues. One of the big issues they disagree with us on is...you guessed it...the importance of fasting!

    The man in the John Henry Weston video recommended fasting on bread and water on Wednesdays and Fridays. He mentioned using a whole wheat bread (as I recall) having some protein in it. He also said you can dip it in oil or use butter. That surprised me.

    Of course, it's generally best to go as close to the original text as possible, but we must not fall into the trap of rejecting all textual analysis. That most of it is errant, and has been demonstrated so to be, doesn't mean that even the most diligent of human transcribers could make a rare slip. The acceptance by traditionally minded Catholics of the possibility of a rare, occasional error in text (inevitable given that every version of the Bible is non-identical to any other) only lends us more credibility when it comes to opposing those progressivists who would radically redact biblical text, in my opinion.

    On a different subject, I am encouraged just a little by the apparent partial climbdown by the Chinese authorities regarding their lockdowns. Surely, if true, this represents a certain pushback within the CCP against Xi and his attempts to wrest perpetual, absolute power for himself?

    It's no harm to witness the abolition of the 'morality police' in Iran. An absolutely pharisaical organisation. A modesty that has to be imposed by brute force is surely not a modesty at all, a concept that, within certain prescribed limits of common public decency, has only real meaning when voluntary.

    I like this lady, she is a watcher.

    However I just wanted to share an inspiration which is to be careful not to assign "predictions" to anyone nor believe what the leaders are saying but rather to turn over the God all of the future. He Alone owns it all and what happens to us if for Him to decide not anyone else. I didn't listen to the whole interview, just the beginning where she says that the globalists want to do this or that and that it all started with the lockdowns - which I don't agree with. It started way, way before that and the people of God need to see our part in it.

    What I see as a Christian is that we are truly the generation like the Israelites in Egypt who are held captive. I see the movements of Europeans into the colonies (Americas, Australia, etc) as the equivalent of Joseph inviting his brothers into Egypt and giving them land. The Kings in Europe then were Christian and the people who moved into the colonnies were Christian too, so like brothers of Joseph the 2nd in command under the Pharaoh. Many of our ancestors went to the Americas in a time when there was famine in Europe and they were given the best lands there, on the surface out of charity but not really since the powers wanted to cultivate them on large scale (the powers are those above the Kings, the Pharaohs in short). That is when Our Lady of Guadelupe appeared in Mexico launching what many think is the age of Mary on Dec 21, 1531 (note 500 year anniversary in 2031)

    Over the centuries, the people "prospered" materially but declined spiritually and intellectually and now we are so obviously dumbed down and slaves in a dehumanized system that is replacing people with machines, forcing us into unwanted treatments, intruding on sacred ground (ex mariage, family...) But who allowed all of this? We did because we wanted to have our cake and eat it too (Esau's bowl of lentils), which is why we need to repent and pray for help with a repentant heart, not say ooh it's those evil leaders, it's them who did this because that is not entirely true. Had we stayed faithful, God would have spared us the chastisement (Fatima promise), but despite it all, God is still with us through Our Lady of Medjugorje.

    God is leading us out of Egypt but it isn't easy and we are not doing as Our Lady is asking us to do! The you-know-whats forced on us all are like the snakes in the desert that killed thousands of Hebrews for having complained and rebelled against God.

    What next? A physical move or a spiritual one? I lean towards the latter, in the notion of the Divine Will - but that is just me.

    Let's continue to watch and pray!

    ETA: I believe that apparitions that gave us Graces along the way, like the Lourdes apparition, is the equivalent of Moses striking the rock to give us Water! If only the Church would study this stuff spiritually. There may be a reset going on, but there is also a Great biblical Replay going on too!!
