MARY, OUR MOTHER

Mark's back with another of his posts that hits the nail on the head! I'm sure many of you agree with him, as I do, that's for sure! I've just read two books relating to what Mark is relating to, one is titled "Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping" by a Friend of Medjugorje (www.mej.com) and the other is titled "Tower of Light" by Michael H. Brown, author of "The Final Hour" (www.spiritdaily.com). Both of these books are pretty much proclaiming the same theme as Mark; we are about to receive a Divine Intervention into the world's affairs; "a correction of the conscience of the world." They are both a good read with many facts regarding the evils that are threatening us these days. I certainly learned a lot of things that had passed me by. I guarantee that you will too! By the way, "Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping" was my favorite of the two!

The Cosmic Surgery

PRAYING before the Blessed Sacrament, the Lord seemed to explain why the world is entering a purification that now, seems irreversible.

Throughout the history of my Church, there have been times when the Body of Christ has taken ill. At those times I have sent remedies.

What came to mind are those times when we are sick with a cold or flu. We sip some chicken soup, drink fluids, and get much needed rest. So too with the Body of Christ, when it has become ill with apathy, corruption, and impurity, God has sent the remedies of saints—the chicken soup of souls who reflect Jesus to us, moving hearts and even nations to repentance. He has inspired movements and communities of love to bring about healing and newfound zeal. In these ways, God has restored the Church in the past.

But when cancer grows in the body, these remedies will not cure it. The cancer must be cut out.

And such is our society today. The cancer of sin has overtaken nearly every facet of society, corrupting the food chain, economics, politics, science, medicine, the environment, education, and religion itself. This cancer has embedded itself into the very foundations of culture, and can only be "cured" by completely removing it.

REAPING AND SOWING

Part of the purification will be the result of humanity "reaping what it has sown." We are already seeing these consequences unfold before our very eyes. The culture of death has left the populations of the Western developed nations depleted, and worse, the dignity of the human person denied. The culture of greed, on the other hand, has evolved into societies which are driven by profit, resulting in increased poverty, slavery to the economic system, and the destruction of the family through materialistic forces.

And the prospect of a devastating war continues to loom, making the "Cold War" look rather warm in comparison.

But the purification and restoration of the environment, food chain, soil, oceans and lakes, forests, and air we breath is a surgery of cosmic proportions. It means that many of the harmful systems and technologies we currently use to manipulate and dominate nature in an exploitive way must be removed, and the damage they’ve done healed. And this, God will do Himself.

In the end, we must understand this purification as something good, ultimately, an act of mercy. We already know the end of the story. Just as a pregnant mother knows the joy which is coming, she also knows she must go through the labor pains and delivery.

But the painful process will bring new life… a coming resurrection.

God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions, and other evils; it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. —Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, Catholic Prophecy, P. 76
