(Act 20:28-29) Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

POPE BENEDICT XVI: "Today we see in a truly terrifying way that the greatest persecution of the Church does not come from outside enemies, but is born of sin within the Church."



POPE BENEDICT XVI: Excerpt of Address Upon Arrival in Portugal

 "As for the event that took place 93 years ago, when heaven itself was opened over Portugal - like a window of hope that God opens when man closes the door to him - in order to refashion, within the human family, the bonds of fraternal solidarity based on the mutual recognition of the one Father, this was a loving design from God; it does not depend on the Pope, nor on any other ecclesial authority: "It was not the Church that imposed Fatima", as Cardinal Manuel Cerejeira of blessed memory used to say, "but it was Fatima that imposed itself on the Church."

"The Virgin Mary came from heaven to remind us of Gospel truths that constitute for humanity - so lacking in love and without hope for salvation - the source of hope."

EXCERPT EDITORIAL
: A Time for Prophecy

We live in very difficult times for the Church.  The daily attacks and calumnies against our Church, our faith, and our Holy Father can be difficult to bear.  It can be very difficult see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Sometimes it seems that there is just more tunnel.  But this is not so.  There is hope.  This era of trial will end, and it will end in triumph.  God has told us so, through his prophets.

In the age of the Church there is likely no greater prophet than Jesus' mother, Mary.  A century ago, Mary appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima.  While the story is well known in Catholic circles and even outside them, one important line of the prophecy is often overlooked.  For sure the warnings of suffering are there if we do not heed her requests, but the end is not in doubt.  "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

"In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph…peace will be granted to the world."  This era of attacks on the Pope and the Church, this era of martyrs, this era of schism and dissent will end.  No ifs, ands, or buts.  We have it on good authority.

An era of peace is promised and God keeps his promises.

Let me close by quoting from another who spoke about the end of this era several hundred years ago.  A German priest, not unlike our Holy Father, tells us of a time when all the world will be upside down.  In the 17th century, the Venerable Batholomew Holzhauser wrote this about a generation in the future and it sounds uncannily accurate.

"They will ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge, and for the skill by which the axioms of the law, the precepts of morality, the Holy Canons and religious dogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate arguments. As a result, no principle at all, however holy, authentic, ancient, and certain it may be, will remain free of censure, criticism, false interpretations, modification and delimitation by man."

He said that at the end of this era that calamity would befall the Church.  All would seem hopeless.  But then, then…"
But, by the Hand of God Almighty, there occurs so wondrous a change…that no one can humanly visualize it."

So wondrous a change that no one can humanly visualize it. A triumph for God and his Church. Our Blessed Mother said “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”

Count on it.
