Washbourne (1882) the author attributes the following prophecy to St Francis.<br /><br />"Act bravely, my Brethren; take courage, and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase. The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Catholic Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it. There will be such diversity of opinions and schisms among the people, the religious and the clergy, that, except those days were shortened, according to the words of the Gospel, even the elect would be led into error, were they not specially guided, amid such great confusion, by the immense mercy of God… Those who preserve their fervour and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and persecutions as rebels and schismatics; for their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say they are rendering a real service to God by destroying such pestilent men from the face of the earth… Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-78867813331403449032017-03-06T12:46:16.437-05:002017-03-06T12:46:16.437-05:00And yes, Michael Dowd, I believe you are spot on a...And yes, Michael Dowd, I believe you are spot on about the 'New World Order' thingy.TLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185788425122984772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-61380260922736744782017-03-06T10:21:08.217-05:002017-03-06T10:21:08.217-05:00Excellent Carol.

As I've said before, we absolutely have had bad Popes in the past, but a Pope that almost on purpose is actually trying to destroy the Church in order to 'create a brand new one' is something that I don't believe we have ever experienced. This is more than just experiencing a 'bad Pope', this is experiencing a 'DESTROYER', and I don't think I'm overstating the problem. I wouldn't have said this even 6 months ago, but.......it NEEDS to be said NOW! May Jesus and Our Blessed Mother come to our aid! And......may the Cardinals do everything in their power to STOP HIM!! This Pope must be stopped. What are the 'Dubia Cardinals' doing? What are they waiting for? Do we not have enough of them to formally 'correct' this Pope? What is the problem here? Lord have MERCY on Your Church!! Lord, help your faithful Priests and Bishops to 'rise to the occasion' and do their part to rid your Church of DISSIDENTS, and help your faithful laity to do the same.....with Charity and BOLDNESS! AMEN!TLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185788425122984772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-74872760661902249702017-03-06T05:56:51.872-05:002017-03-06T05:56:51.872-05:00Anonymous,

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament becomes a time to “marinate in God’s graces” ... not a rejection, but a “longing” is set in the soul made pure again.<br /><br />So, here’s the point … all the problems of the world can be solved if we, once again, become “strong in God’s supernatural grace.” We are called to make the world a better place, but “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).<br /><br />The world is “spiritually sick” right now, filled with impurities which are causing them to reject God and crave the junk food of worldliness. It’s no wonder our churches are emptying out. The Church simply *must* help people to believe in the supernatural power of God again. Stop the secularization of our faith!! Build churches that point to heaven, not the world. Offer Mass as though we actually believe that is God in the Holy Eucharist.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-35698513582798382492017-03-05T18:46:33.371-05:002017-03-05T18:46:33.371-05:00You better ask yourself how my post went right ove...You better ask yourself how my post went right over your head!TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-5743020482127337342017-03-05T18:43:32.244-05:002017-03-05T18:43:32.244-05:00Anonymous,
