"Blood will flow in the streets." That was a prophecy I often heard over the years, from this seer, that apparition or that locutionist. I always associated the bloodshed with revolution - specifically Communist revolution - and war. For some reason, I never thought of it in terms of terrorism - such as what happened in the Patriot's Day Bombing. Blood was all over the sidewalk and street - it flowed in the street that day.
When these things happen, human nature seeks a way to make sense of it, we grasp at all sorts of explanations as to motive - who perpetrated the crime - why? We need to make sense of it for ourselves. Catholics usually look to heaven to understand why. Many wonder if God gave us a warning we may have missed or ignored? Were the prophecies we heard speaking about what is happening in our time?
I wonder...
"When you seek first his kingdom, all else is given you beside. Listen to his voice, speaking in your heart and do what he says."
