Pray and Repent in Sackcloth and Ashes: A New Message from Sr. Agnes of Akita

Reports coming out of Japan and published by an EWTN radio affiliate (WQPH Medford, MA) say that on October 6th, the opening day of the Amazon Synod, Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, the seer of Akita (an approved apparition), received a private message from her angel which included a public call to repentance. Sister, who is 88 and suffering from multiple health problems gave the message to another sister who shared it.

Before you read the messages, watch this video by Michael Matt that indicates exactly how vigilantly the hierarchy is to hide the serious messages that warn very graphically of the impending chastisement if we do not repent. 

Random Thoughts for Monday

After dedicating his life to eradicating segregation, would Martin Luther King be thrilled by black students today demanding segregated dorms and spaces?

I'm glad Donald Trump is being tough with the Korean dictator, but I wish he'd stop calling him "rocket man." It's funny, but poking a madman may not be too prudent. It's kind of like poking a mad dog with a stick.

 Just wondering: Will Pope Francis respond to the 62 signatories, clergy and laity, who issued a "filial correction" for his "propagating heresies" or will he give them the Dubia treatment?

Is Pope Francis a Formal Heretic?

Dr. Lamont thinks so.

And what if the pope is, in fact, a formal heretic? What are the faithful to do?

Mundabor suggests how to cope with a heretical pope.

It's not the job of the laity to declare a pope a heretic. But we do have to live with the consequences of confusion and chaos, and the best approach is not to let ourselves lose hope or be discouraged, but to continue to keep the faith and follow Christ according to the teachings of the apostles, the fathers of the Church, and the saints.

Keep in mind that during Joan of Arc's short lifetime there were several popes and several anti-popes. Our difficult times are not unique. But times like this call for courage and constancy. They also call for prayer. And I find St. Teresa of Avila's consoling. She was a reformer who faced tremendous opposition. Her enemies even tried to poison her. But she reminds of of this holy truth, "He who has God finds he lacks nothing; God alone suffices."
