Bayside seer, Veronica Lueken
There are so many similarities to
how public 'visionaries'
act today during 'ecstasy'.
The choice.
Fr. L and Mark Shea and many others are predicting four years of badness after the elections.
Charlie Johnston has been predicting THE Storm for years - details might be off - but ...
All the mystics say so too.
Then a friend sent me this:
The choice.
It's our choice. We have been going towards this, little by little for decades. Choice by choice.
When God, in the beginning, created man, he made him subject to his own free choice. If you choose you can keep the commandments ... it is loyalty to do his will. There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him. - Sirach 15:14-17It's our choice. It's never more apparent than during an election.
Avoid the echo chamber online - it simply adds to the confusion.
If you are worried about what is happening, read the stories of people who know what they are talking about - people of faith who have been through war and terror and persecution. Read people like Alfred Delp SJ, Walter Ciszek SJ, Corrie Ten Boom, Immaculee Ilibagiza, and others - these people have lived through events so horrible, yet they witnessed to their faith in Jesus. Their witness is an example for all to live by.
"Strive to enter through the narrow gate" - and quit complaining.
Only recently have I learned to be grateful to have grown up with abuse and anti-Catholic taunts, even from my own family. To have experienced mockery for my devotion, to be laughed at for trying to live according to Catholic teaching, and called out as a hypocrite for having failed to do so - and rightly so. Yet what a grace all of that is - it seems to have prepared me to not be surprised when confronted by all the 'turmoil' so many fear and complain about today. It has helped me not to become disquieted when similar taunts recur today.

Purported miraculous photo from Bayside,
depicting the 'stairway to heaven'.
LOL!
A miracle from heaven? I thought it was a roller coaster ride of some sort.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, with regards to what may come, let it be so. Let the fire from heaven fall to purify hearts/minds. Let that same fire renew the face of the earth. I hope many can endure, myself included. I admire those who have survived persecution in the Middle East, Africa, Pakistan, China, etc ... they are ready.
What is coming is coming no matter who gets into office but then again it not happen for another one hundred years.
That list is interesting and makes sense too. Let's keep praying!
I am sitting here and I am taking myself to task for making light of this post of yours, Terry. I cannot even begin to imagine what it will be like to lose everything and everyone but like you posted,

The hope of those brothers and sisters who have gone through the fire of persecution and who remain hopeful in their deliverance ... that is what I admire.
My motto still despite myself:
"Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer" St. Paul
I'm a little disappointed. I thought the stairway to heaven would be a little...flashier, somehow. This looks like the conveyor belt on our grain elevator.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
I'm taking the elevator with St. Therese :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Good catch,Angela. :)

DeleteI will never be able to "unhear" that now!
DeleteAccording to The Daily Telegraph: "Around 800 soldiers along with tanks, armoured vehicles and drones will now head to Estonia in the spring in a Nato effort to reassure the Baltic states over Russian aggression." Yep, that sure will deter the Russians no end. 800 British soldiers must have the Russian Army quaking in its boots. (I speak as a British citizen.)
