The Very Few Faithful Catholics Will Be Persecuted Terribly By Other Catholics!
The greatest example and model for true Christians is the last three hours of Christ on the cross. Christ spent 30 years with Joseph and Mary in His hidden life, three years in His public life, and three hours on the cross in order to redeem the world. Perhaps the most difficult and repulsive things for our human nature is to be humiliated and to suffer. This is exactly what Christ chose for Himself and for His authentic followers. Before Christ, death by crucifixion on the cross and humiliation was abhorred. Without faith the cross is only an instrument of torture. But Christ sanctified all He did and the cross and humiliation for the faith became the straight path to God and to eternal life. “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (…)” (1Cor 1:18-25).
Christ in His infinite wisdom does nothing by chance even though many Christians believe they are more intelligent than God! In the history of Christianity there has been a great number of Christians who have tried to put aside and reject humiliations and suffering for the faith in many simple and sophisticated ways while seeking to convince themselves that they are good Christians and saved. But the cross remains the royal highway to true peace and to eternal life. So many Catholics believe they are more wise and “prudent” than Christ’s divinely guided Catholic Church that Christ left us here on earth.
The early Christians of the first centuries of the Church believed that the true Christians were the martyrs for the faith who imitated Christ crucified fully. Many Christians lamented when there was no longer a dictator to offer them the possibility of the gift of martyrdom after the Emperor Constantine signed the Edict of Milan (313) and so many went into the desert to embrace a life of sacrifice and solitude with God. History shows that Christianity remains more vibrant under persecution than without persecution. “Poland, 67% of the population went to confession before Easter (2018) (http://www.lafedequotidiana.it/polonia-67-della-popolazione-si-confessato-pasqua/?fbclid=IwAR3H2343k4XJtXQbE9CrHb3Ob1bO7dBzq61675U0y4I6XA7Yhnpx1ib4trc).
The more graces and responsibility God has given to us the more good or harm we can do depending on if we obey God or obey ourselves or others. Referring to the great responsibility of priests and bishops, the saints John Chrysostom, John Eudes and Athanasius said that the road (or the floor of hell) to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of bishops are the lamp posts that light the path!
TAKE COURAGE FRIENDS. Jesus and Mary are nearer to us when we are in great suffering if we do not lose hope and we continue to pray and to live our prayer: “THY will be done”, not “MY will be done”! The next few years will be more difficult than in any time in human history, in this period of the great “APOSTASY” before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess 2:3). We are quickly arriving to the great prophecy to which Jesus referred to (Mt 24:15) in the Book of Daniel: “And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.” (Dan 12:11; 7:25; 9:27).” There will be no valid Mass in all the public Catholic churches in the world for 1290 days! We are the “generation” (Mt 24:34) of which Jesus spoke about: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be” (Mt 24:21)! “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place” (Mt 24:34).
Very few Catholics realize the great gravity of “Pope Francis” refusing to dialogue with any cardinal, bishop, priest, professor or layman who is not in agreement with “Pope Francis”! A very good example of this is the “Dubia” (November 2016) written by four Cardinals regarding grave problems with “Amoris Laetitia”, not being in harmony with Divine Revelation explained by the Church for 2000 years. The Truth of God does not change with the whims of the passing world! In “Amoris Laetitia” there was no concern over the GREAT DAMAGE to the children of separated parents which was always a major point in the perennial teachings of the Church; “Amoris Laetitia” only sought to justify the desires of the adults who want to change partners. This is false love WITHOUT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, without regard to the very negative effects (hidden or covered up) on others due to our egotistical choices! If we believe it or not, we will all be held responsible for our actions for all eternity in indescribable happiness (heaven) or in unspeakable pain (hell)!
St. Thomas Aquinas quoting of St. Augustine, in his commentary on the right of subjects to resist flaky superiors, recalled that in St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, he rebuked the first pope, St. Peter, “to his face because he clearly was wrong” (Gal 2:11-14). There being an imminent danger for the Faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects. Thus, St. Paul, who was a subject of St. Peter, questioned him publicly on account of an imminent danger of scandal in a matter of Faith. And, as the Glossa of St. Augustine puts it (Ad Galatas 2.14), “St. Peter himself gave the EXAMPLE to those who govern so that if sometimes they stray from the right way, they will not reject a correction as unworthy even if it comes from their subjects.” (Summa Theologiae, IIa IIae, Q. 33, A. 4).
If I realize and believe that the Truth comes from God not from me, and I have a little virtue, especially humility, I should be willing to listen to someone who says to me that what I wrote or said was not in harmony with what God has revealed to us throughout human history (called Divine Revelation), while quoting documents of the Church. But if I believe or feel that the truth comes from me, I will not be willing to dialogue with anyone not in agreement with me, as have done all the dictators in the history of the world. By throwing out the precious laws of God, we quickly go toward “might makes right” as it is in hell!
The fundamental punishment from God is to give us religious leaders who tell us what we want to hear! The great majority of Christians today want a Christianity without the cross, even though Christ told us: “Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Lk 9:23 14:27; Mt 10:38; 16:24; Mk 8:34). We read about this great punishment in The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis (Assisi) (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html). What is more important, to be happy for all eternity or to be happy only for this very short life?
God gave us the Ten Commandments for our good, not for our harm. Since very few Christians today live the Ten Commandments and the Gospel of Christ, the families and society are quickly falling apart into the hands of the dictatorship of the New World Order. In this situation, the gospel for the great majority of people today is the TV, the highly controlled mainstream media.
The Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, wrote in 1948:
“[Satan] will set up a counter church which will be the ape of the [Catholic] Church … It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and EMPTIED OF ITS DIVINE CONTENT.”
“We are living in the days of the Apocalypse, the last days of our era. The two great forces – the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of the anti-Christ – are beginning to draw battle lines for the catastrophic contest.”
“The False prophet will have A RELIGION WITHOUT A CROSS. A RELIGION WITHOUT A WORLD TO COME. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church.”
“Christ’s Church the Catholic Church will be one; and the false Prophet will create the other.”
“THE FALSE CHURCH WILL BE WORLDLY, ECUMENICAL, AND GLOBAL. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association.”
“A world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all Divine content, it will be the mystical body of the anti-christ. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from our Bishops.”
MEDJUGORJE: "SHE SHOWED ME THE FUTURE"... THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT THE "COMING PERSECUTION"

Father Leon said: “Our Lady loves you and she looks at you like you are the only child in the universe, and that she loves you so powerfully, so deeply. (…) I do not know how she does it, it is very overwhelming. I was in tears seeing her and listening to her. (…) Before She left she asked me: 'Are you willing to suffer?" (…) Then She showed me the future. She said a time is coming when almost every Catholic will be ashamed of the words of Jesus. She said VERY FEW CATHOLICS WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL, VERY FEW. AND THOSE WHO DO WILL BE PERSECUTED TERRIBLY BY OTHER CATHOLICS. Then she said. 'do not go looking for me, I will come to you when you are dying." Fr. Leon.

At the end of each Hail Mary we say: “Pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.” At the hour of our death the devil does all he can to push us into the mortal sins of despair or into presumption.
Pope John Paul II said to a group of pilgrims in Fulda, West Germany, in November 1980, speaking about the secrets of Fatima, that: “We have to be prepared to suffer, before long, great trials which will require of us the disposition to sacrifice even our life for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is still possible to diminish this trial (predicted at Fatima), but it is no longer possible to avert it, because only in this manner can the Church be effectively renewed. How many times has the renewal of the Church been brought about in blood! It will not be different this time.”
Dear friends, our first priority must be to get to heaven for all eternity. By doing this, we will also help others and the whole world.
A VERY GOOD HELP IN THIS PERIOD of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) when the Body of Christ, the Church, will be crucified (CCC 675-677), and of the great APOSTASY before the manifestation of the Antichrist (2Thess 2:3), is: “To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons”, commonly referred to as the “Blue Book” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).
Almost twenty Cardinals and more than 150 Bishops, more than 50,000 priests and religious, have followed the Marian Movement of Priests (MMP), receiving by way of the book which contains the messages, precious teaching from the Mother of God, in this devastating attack of the ecclesiastical Masonry on the sound doctrine of the Church and the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy Eucharist.
Many bishops have given their Imprimatur to this book. You will find in these messages of Our Lady revealed through Don Stefano Gobbi a resemblance to the writings of Saint Louis de Montfort, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and to the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, with the sweetness that only the Mother of God, and the Mother of each of us, could communicate to those open to the caresses of Our Lady!
Many of my web sites are blocked by those who control the world today! Thus you might try Google to find each year of this Blue Book (as well as OTHER ARTICLES OBSCURED by NW0 hackers), with key words such as: Gobbi, beloved, priests, 1973, etc.
If you have difficulty in finding the 27 web sites comprising the whole Blue Book of 25 years of messages of Our Lady, you might try:

I would highly recommend that you read slowly one meditation from this Blue Book each day so as to let Our Heavenly Mother form and prepare you for this period of the purification of the Church and of the World.
SAINT PADRE PIO said: "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the HOLY MASS." This saint also said: “The ROSARY is the weapon for these times”! A good CONFESSION (a Sacrament) is more powerful than an exorcism (a sacramental)! “One day through the Rosary and the (brown) SCAPULAR, I will save the world” – Our Lady to Saint Dominic (1214).
May God bless you and Our Lady protect you!
