Blessed Mother: The times will be shortened
Before the unpleasant prophecies, I am quoting one of my favorite saints, St. Therese of Lisieux, because regardless of what’s coming to the world, I trust she would come and help if we call on her, for she had said: “I am perfectly sure I shall not stay inactive in heaven. My desire is to go on working for the Church and for souls. That is what I keep asking God and I am certain He will say yes.”
And now to the endtimes mission...
There are good reasons to believe we are indeed in the “last times” of an era. As much could be clearly gathered from
Our Lord Jesus Christ in his message to St.
Faustina Kowalska in
Poland and from the
Blessed Mother in her warnings through Sister
Agnes Sasagawa in Japan. My past columns had dwelt on the messages from these apparitions.
But there are more disclosures from Heaven that hint on the times we are in, including those given by the Blessed Mother to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, founder of the Marian Movement of Priests, whose prophecies are now unfolding.
During the pontificate of John Paul II who is now a saint, the Blessed Mother told Fr. Gobbi as follows.
“When this Pope (John Paul II) will have completed the task which Jesus has entrusted to him and I will come down from heaven to receive his sacrifice, all of you will be cloaked in a dense darkness of apostasy, which will then become general.There will remain faithful only that little remnant which, in these years, by accepting my motherly invitation, has let itself be enfolded in the secure refuge of my Immaculate Heart. And it will be this little faithful remnant, prepared and formed by me, that will have the task of receiving Christ, who will return to you in glory, bringing about in this way the beginning of the new era which awaits you.”
Four years after this message was given, the Blessed Mother also told Fr. Gobbi:
“The times will be shortened, because I am Mother of Mercy and each day I offer, at the throne of Divine justice, my prayer united to that of the children who are responding to me with a ‘yes’and consecrating themselves to my Immaculate Heart… The times will be shortened, because I am your Mother and I want to help you, with my presence, to carry the cross of the painful events through which you are living.
“How many times have I already intervened in order to set back further and further in time the beginning of the great trial, for the purification of this poor humanity, now possessed and dominated by the Spirits of Evil.
“The times will be shortened, because the great struggle which is being waged between God and his Adversary is above all at the level of spirits and is taking place above you… I entrust you to the powerful protection of these Archangels and of your Guardian Angels, so that you may be guided and defended in the struggle which is now being waged between heaven and earth, between paradise and hell, between Saint Michael the Archangel and Lucifer himself, who will appear VERY SOON with all the power of the Antichrist.”
penalties. The mayor said that that under the restrictions set by the ordinance, unauthorized mass gatherings which include cockfights, are not allowed in the town.
The ordinance is in compliance with current restrictions to stem out high risk community transmission.
Just before the new year, some 40 or so men, which included seniors and minors, were arrested in a barangay here for alleged unauthorized cockfighting despite ongoing restrictions.
