Padraig! Totally understandable. The state of world and the church is tiring. Saint Therese the little flower said that this happens to souls suffering some of their purgatory on earth.
Padraig, I have read that Conchita from the Garabandal apparitions, asked Our Lady if there is intelligent life in outer space. Our Lady answered, “Yes, they are like men, tainted alike by sin, and also redeemed by Christ just like men.” Glen is the expert on Garabandal, so perhaps he would know if this statement is accurate or not,
Exactly. The one private revelation which impacts me most today is Fatima. Because, as you say, we are seeing what Our Lady said a century ago coming to pass before our eyes. And at the core of all of these revelations is her motherly message to fix ourselves, to convert, truly and deeply, to declare ourselves to God, to confess our sins and understand why this is so important. Without repentance we are lost to Our Heavenly Mother and to her son, Our Lord, who sacrificed all to save us.
The 'paranormal' is the new normal as the Holy Mother pours forth a tsunami of Love from above, to counteract the one that is soon to come below. https://motheofgod.com/threads/eyes-to-the-skys-fr-malachi-martin.5563/page-6 (Refer to page 6 which has apparently been de-linked)
Glen, please forgive me if I am in error, however, it appears my comments are unwelcomed. After the last administrative house cleaning, a marginalization seems to have occurred. I stumble and fall, but get right back up again.
I recall seeing a TV programme, maybe 20 years ago, about a European missionary priest working in India who was able to 'dowse'. He saved many village women from having to walk long distances to carry water by identifying more accessible sources and arranging for digging to create wells. His services were in great demand and he discovered that he could do this by examining maps without having to walk miles to 'dowse'. About this time the Indian government decided to discourage Christian missionary activity by legislating that missionaries based in India had to renounce their nationality and become Indian nationals. When asked if he would do so he said that he had no choice or some poor villages would suffer from insufficiency of, or distance from, water.
