FLASH from the New York Times (NYT): Was this part of the prophecy on the beginning of tribulations to happen this October, as mystic Fr. Michel Rodrigue had warned in his message earlier this year?
The NYT story this week said: “ROME — Pope Francis expressed support for same-sex civil unions in remarks revealed in a documentary film that premiered on Wednesday, a significant break from his predecessors that staked out new ground for the church in its recognition of gay people.
“The remarks, coming from the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, had the potential to shift debates about the legal status of same-sex couples in nations around the globe and unsettle bishops worried that the unions threaten what the church considers traditional marriage — between one man and one woman.”
But to go on with what I have already prepared previously for this section:
If there is a mystic whose prophecies I will share without a bit of hesitation, they are those of Luisa Picaretta (April 23, 1865–March 4, 1947), a contemporary of St. Padre Pio Padre (May 25, 1887-September 23, 1968). Luisa was officially declared by the Vatican as Servant of God.
In 2016, the Holy See declared there was no impediment to the beatification and canonization of Luisa who wrote in 36 volumes in a book known as Book of Heaven the messages she has received mostly from Jesus Christ. There was a time when three books related to her was placed in the Vatican’s Index or list of forbidden books, but it should be clear that these books were not in her 36 volumes. Besides, in 1966, the Index was abolished by the Vatican.
Apart from her candidacy for certain sainthood, there is St. Padre Pio as testament to her saintliness, thus, credibility. When the three books associated with Luisa was listed in the Index, Padre Pio wrote her, saying: “Dear Luisa, saints serve for the good of souls, but their suffering knows no bounds.”
At times burdened by the number of people who wanted to see him in his monastery in San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio would tell them to go to Luisa instead. The good padre had also encouraged the opening of a spirituality center at San Giovanni Rotondo, inspired by Luisa who had by then passed on ahead of him.
So what are some of the prophecies, particularly those related to our times, relayed to us by Luisa? Here are some of her direct quotes from Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, dated according to when they were given her. (Quotation marks dispensed with for convenience.)
April 30th, 1928:
My daughter, everything you saw [chastisements] will serve to purify and prepare the human family. The turmoils will serve to reorder, and the destructions to build more beautiful things. If a collapsing building is not torn down, a new and more beautiful one cannot be formed upon those very ruins. I will stir everything for the fulfillment of my Divine Will... when We decree, all is done; in Us, it is enough to decree in order to accomplish what We want. This is why what seems difficult to you will all be made easy by Our Power.
May 30, 1932:
And if there was not in Us the Certainty that Our Will would Reign in the creature, in order to form Our Life in her, Our Love would Burn Creation completely, and would reduce it to nothing; and if it supports and tolerates so much, it is because We see the times to come, Our Purpose realized.
June 6, 1935:
My daughter, courage, everything will serve for the Triumph of My Will. If I strike, it is because I want to heal. My Love is so much that when I cannot conquer by way of Love and of Graces, I seek to conquer by way of terror and fright. The human weakness is so much that many times he does not care about My Graces, he is deaf to My Voice, he laughs at My Love. But it is enough to touch his skin, to remove the things necessary to natural life, that it abases his haughtiness. He feels so humiliated that he makes himself a rag, and I do what I want with him. Especially if they do not have a perfidious and obstinate will, one chastisement is enough-to see himself at the brink of the grave-that he returns to Me into My arms.
August 15, 1925 :
...created things feel honored when they serve a creature who is animated by that same Will which forms their very life. On the other hand, my Will takes the attitude of sorrow in those same created things when It has to serve one who does not fulfill my Will. This is why it happens that many times created things place themselves against man, they strike him, they chastise him—because they become superior to man, as they keep intact within themselves that Divine Will by which they were animated from the very beginning of their creation, while man has descended down below, for he does not keep the Will of his Creator within himself.
November 24, 1930:
This is the reason why my Divine Will is as though on the lookout from within the elements, to see whether they are disposed to receive the good of Its continuous operating; and in seeing Itself rejected, tired, It arms the elements against them. Therefore, unforeseen chastisements and new phenomena are about to happen; the earth, with its almost continuous tremor, warns man to come to his senses, otherwise he will sink under his own steps because it can no longer sustain him. The evils that are about to happen are grave...
December 9, 1916:
It seems that one can no longer live in these sad times; yet, it seems that this is only the beginning... If I do not find my satisfactions—ah, it is over for the world! The scourges will pour down in torrents. Ah, my daughter! Ah, my daughter!
May 26, 1927:
Almost all nations live relying on debts; if they do not make debts, they cannot live. And in spite of this they celebrate, they spare themselves nothing, and are making plans of wars, incurring enormous expenses. Do you yourself not see the great blindness and madness into which they have fallen? And you, little child, would want My Justice not to strike them, and to be lavish with temporal goods. So, you would want them to become more blind and more insane.
March 22, 1924:
This is precisely the great scourge that is preparing for the ugly vertiginous race of creatures. Nature itself is tired of so many evils, and would want to take revenge for the rights of its Creator. All natural things would want to place themselves against man; the sea, the fire, the wind, the earth, are about to go out of their boundaries to harm and strike the generations, in order to decimate them.
September 12, 1926:
But the chastisements also are necessary; this will serve to prepare the ground so that the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat may form in the midst of the human family. So, many lives- obstacles to the triumph of my Kingdom- will disappear from the face of the earth...
(Again, my apologies for not including the last part of the Manuscript of Purgatory because of space limitations. The next issue, however, will have it, along with more from Luisa Picaretta. BTW, the surname of Luisa is spelled differently by authors, but I had to choose one.)
