On Independence Day Do We Look More Like Philadelphia in 1787 or Paris in 1789?

Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat it. What is happening represents the long-planned Marxist plan to overthrow America. The riots are part of the plan -- to create a crisis. Wake up, people! Don't just celebrate Independence Day today, resolve to fight to take back our country from liberals and socialists. Do you know the candidates running in November in your area? Have you looked at their policies? Have you read the platforms of the Democrat Party and the Republican Party? Which is more in line with godly principles?

Is Garabandal Our Final Warning? Mary's Messages are more Relevant than Ever!

The Visionaries of Garabandal

The apparitions at Garabandal are less well know than Lourdes or Fatima but they strike a personal chord with me since the seers, three of whom are still alive, are my contemporaries born in the late 1940s as I was. Our Lady, like she did at Fatima, called for repentance and penance. The messages focused on respect for the Eucharist and warned that many would fail to believe. Mary told the children a very great chastisement would come upon all humanity if people did not change their ways. It was the same message she gave at Fatima and would give a few years later at Akita exhorting her children to repent and do penance.

Houston, We Have a Problem! The Warning of Jonah

Hurricane Harvey makes landfall near
Corpus Christi.

Remember when God sent Jonah to Nineveh to warn the people to repent? After a rocky start with the prophet fleeing in the opposite direction and being punished by being swallowed by a whale and spending three days in penance, Jonah did as God asked. He walked through the city warning the people to repent. They did.

God sometimes uses big events to get our attention and the storm in Houston is a big event. Keep in mind that in 2010 Houston built the biggest abortion mill in the world outside of China right smack dab in the middle of four minority neighborhoods. Here's what Catholic Exchange wrote at the time:

What Is Our Lady Asking of Us? Prayer and Penance!

Four hundred years ago, Our Lady of Good Success appeared to a Spanish nun, Sr. Mariana de Jesus Torres,  in Quito, Ecuador and warned about a crisis in the Church arising at the end of the 19th century and becoming even worse after the middle of the 20th century. I'm going to be studying this approved apparition and sharing about it, not to frighten anyone, but to show how crucial it is to listen to Our Lady and respond to her call for her children to pray and sacrifice. The only solution to these evils is for faithful Catholics to grow in personal holiness and commit to lives of prayer and penance to help make up for "what's lacking in the suffering of Christ." What could possibly be lacking in the suffering of Christ? Our cooperation in his act of redemption. He won't force it, but wants us to offer it by conforming our will to His. What better time to embrace Christ's cross of suffering than during the holy season of Lent? Listen to our Blessed Mother and imitate her "Yes!"
