"When you see clouds building in the west, you say at once, 'A storm shower is coming'; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'It's going to be hot' and so it is. So why is it then that you cannot read the signs of the times?" -- Luke 12:54-56
ARE we now in the times of the Apocalypse? If so, can we still reverse it? Or at least mitigate its prophesied chastisements? Way back on Jan.21, 1984, the Blessed Mother told Fr. Stefano Gobbi: "...these evil plans can yet be avoided by you, the dangers can be evaded, the plan of God's justice always can be changed by the force of His merciful love. Also, when I predict chastisements to you, remember that everything, at any moment, may be changed by the force of your prayers and your reparative penance."
It would seem not enough reparations have been done since then. Last August 11, the Blessed Mother told mystic Pedro Regis:
"Dear children, bend your knees in prayer. You are heading towards a painful future. The traitors to the faith will unite and the defenders of the true Magisterium of the Church of My Jesus will be persecuted and thrown out. I suffer because of what comes to you. Do not stray from the path that I have pointed out to you. My Lord needs your sincere and true testimony. Seek strength in prayer and in the Gospel of my Jesus. Allow the Words of My Son Jesus to transform you. Be obedient and accept the Will of God for your lives. I am your Mother and I love you. Onward without fear. This is the message that I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for having allowed Me to gather you here once more. I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace."
Last August 15, the Blessed Mother also had message for mystic Gisella Cardia, saying:
"Dear children, thank you for being here in prayer, I am [the Lady of the] Assumption, and today whoever asks for graces with an open heart will be heard and answered. Leave the path of sin; be ready, because soon you will have the possibility of seeing the truth. My children, I am always beside you to protect you. The times to come will shake many consciences; do not wait until then - prepare yourselves because everything will be very difficult. Children, you still have a LONG WAY TO GO, but God appreciates even your little steps. Now I leave you with my Holy Blessing, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen."
For the sake of those who missed my past columns, I am sharing anew the message conveyed by St. Michael the Archangel to mystic Luz de Maria de Bonilla last April 25, because the message also speaks of the time of tribulation that we seem to have entered. The message is important for its call for us to prepare for more trials coming. St. Michael said as follows:
"As Prince of the armies of Heaven, I come to you with the word from on high so that you would examine yourselves before the hour.
"Sounds are heard together with new diseases and new vaccines, resounding more than bells, more than trumpets, more than legions, more than weapons, more than human explanation. The People of God must remain prepared: Unity is essential so that the "wave of ideas" would not penetrate the human mind and separate in vain arguments those who have committed to conversion.
"Heaven has alerted you so that you would see the great change in which you are living, being held captive at this time and in times to come. Nothing will be the same: keep in mind that nothing will be the same for man, that is why human beings will seem to be meandering, faced with the new rules of global governance. The masks of those who govern will fall to the ground, and they will be seen as they are -- enablers of this war that will turn into armed conflict.
"Beloved People of God, man is suffering terror in the antechamber of the continued mutations of the manufactured virus, until the evil that has created it is unmasked.
"Humanity is afraid because of having abandoned faith. Children of Our Lord and King of Heaven and Earth: look up, the signs will not delay, Heaven will pour out Its pain. Oh Humanity! You suffer gradually, like one approaching the fire that they have lit with their own hands!
"Satan has taken hold of this generation, subtly blinding men's minds with personal presuppositions, so that humanity would not walk towards Love but towards strife, jealousy, rebellion. The Mystery of Iniquity is already prepared, which will be defeated, but not before the great trial of the Apostasy occurs. People of our King and Lord Jesus Christ: whoever has true Faith will resist and will not apostatize; whoever does not possess true Faith will not resist. You have forgotten that "under the protection of the Most High" you are delivered from the web of evil.
"This is the time of the righteous; even in the midst of suffering they will receive help; this is the Time of times and you must consecrate yourselves to our Queen and Mother, with a true, simple and contrite heart, and in this way the faithful will receive new strength, new fortitude, new victory, since our beloved King and Lord Jesus Christ has given His Mother the scepter of truth in order to separate His people from the weeds.
"Pray, beloved people, pray with the heart, pray with the truth, pray with the soul, pray with the senses, pray, you who have seen how the nations have been overwhelmed by the loneliness that presages a silenced, fearful and helpless humanity.
"Pray, disease has arrived. Pray, through the deceit of assistance, America has become more contaminated.
"The powerlessness of the little ones is highlighted by what is hiding behind the powerful who are gradually subjugating the children of God. Were you expecting a war coming with a great roar? This is why you do not recognize the times of war; they will go from words to deeds, they will blame one another until they raise their weapons and there will be suffering for all humanity.
"I admonish those who do not recognize the signs of the times: wake up, before the great celestial body shines in the sky that, like a beast, is approaching the earth in broad daylight!
"People of our King and Lord Jesus Christ, only those who have true Faith will be able to feel the Divine Presence in difficult times. Convert now! Take heed, I warn you, take heed, convert! Prepare yourselves in the spirit, after the Warning the righteous will be more righteous and the holy will be more holy.
"Love the Love of loves! Worship God, One and Three, you are part of his people. Love our Queen and Mother, take shelter in her, consoler of the afflicted."
