i am absolutley bowled over with this message. AND the prayer. i had just had a conversation on accepting all that comes as a gift from the Hand of God and that the necessary graces will be provided. AND how we limit God in our weakness. What a confirming message for me personally. Thank You Pel for listening and responding.

Pelianito, thank you again fornyour obedience to The Lord. I for one need constantly to repent for not trusting God in what may be coming. As a male and a provider, it is only natural to be concerned for ones family and their needs. I simply am not trusting in the goodness and love that my Father has for me!!! Again, I am so sorry Lord. My task at hand is to love my brothers and sisters.

Pelianito,

This particular message struck me dumb…I woke up this morning after a rather difficult night, and a spiritually trying week. I needed His reassurance: “Do you think I would leave you without graces in your time of need?”…I needed to be remember that it is not my strength that is required but HIS and to TRUST HIM!… “Do you think so little of me?” After a particularly difficult experience, I cried out to HIM: “Lord, where were you when this was happening?” HIS answer is quite clear now: “Do you not see that those I choose and call I hold in the palm of my hand”.

Thank you so much for submitting to HIS will in disseminating HIS messages to us.

May HIS holy countenance shine upon you dear sister!

The message is a beautiful confirmation of the scripture readings today. YES, He will separate the goats from the sheep….but He also is in constant search of those “goats” wishing to be saved by His unfathomable mercy! Dear Father continue to show your gracious mercy to those that hede your call and break down the hardness in hearts of your children that don’t know you or turn away from your gift of mercy.

I just saw something on a secular website that was surprising in that it tends to confirm the messages here, about some big event coming. It had to do with coronal mass ejections from the sun. There is the possibility of a giant solar flare that could reach the earth and wipe out telecommunications and cause overall great havoc.
I don’t know if this will happen or not, or even in our lifetimes, but the speaker spoke about sanctuaries! So this new message from Pelianito is very consoling in the reaffirmation of what we know by faith: that God our Father will always take care of us no matter what.

Sr. Lorraine I have read about that as well. Scientists say it is not a matter of if, but when. There was one that occurred in 1859 that if it happened today would be catastrophic. I think they are saying we are overdue for one. The current solar cycle peaks in 2013.

God only knows what, when or how bad. All we can do is trust in him! Thanks be to God!

i can confirm what you are saying Pelianito re solar flares as i have read much about it. Last year, out of the blue , i was given a few seconds to think of what science lesson i could give a class. I believe i was inspired to teach the class about the Aurora Borealis and we really entered into it and used the internet. Next year is certainly a peak time and just lately there have auroras seen in fairly southern states as we are in a cycle of build up of necessary conditions.
i ended up teaching the same lesson to many groups in the school and cannot help but think i was led to do this. Remember i live in the southern hemisphere and we do not see the Borealis Australis as it is too far away. I just knew i was meant to open the childrens eyes to the knowledge re Auroras. who knows why?

A CME (coronal mass ejection) could wipe out not only communications, but depending on the severity, it could fry our entire electrical grid, and all electrical equipment! We’d be living off the grid for a minimum of 6 months in most places.

Watch for earthquakes in this next month. A seismologist determined that most large earthquakes happen around the solstices. If you just go and peruse the earthquake statistics, it’s pretty obvious that he’s right.

God is so good, gracious and merciful indeed! If you have a few minutes, read this article about one man’s conversion or “reversion” to the Catholic faith. It really sounded to me like he had an “illumination” that might be similar to what many believe to be the coming Illumination of all mankind. I thought it was a beautiful witness to our faith.

“there can be no failure in perfect love.” I just wanted to comment on Father Michael’s homily in my previous post (no time yesterday). Before I saw it, I had heard a priest on the radio talking about the inseparable connection between priestly celibacy and marital chastity. When one of these fails, so does the other. Holy families inspire holy priests and holy priests inspire holy families. That is obvious at St Robert’s here in Omaha. Father Michael’s homily is proof. I see a growing number of families following the Catholic Church’s teaching–perhaps they and thier children will be the “remnant.”

Mimi, June1,

Thanks for posting the “zapped” article. The most interesting thing that jumped out at me about his illumination was that he said, “If I could have called to the mountains to fall upon me to cover me up, I would have done so and welcomed it.”

Compare that to Rev. 6:12-17:

12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale; 14 the sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?”

Dear Peli,

Thank you for this message that you have shared. On Sunday while at mass, and just after communion, Our Lord spoke to my heart with a very similar message. I had been “whining” about my concerns with my children. He reminded me that He holds my family in the Palm of His Hand, and that in these difficult days, to “Lean into Him”.

I’ve been pondering the “Lean into Him” and I keep coming up with the image of a frightened child and what they do… lean into their parent for safety, comfort, protection. What a sweet, loving, PROTECTIVE Savior we have. Thank you Holy Spirit for the confirmation.

So many people that I know are suffering with illness, accidents, family issues… all seems to be scaled up a bit.
We need to remind our loved ones to Lean into Him and Rest in the Palm of His Hand. God is good!

I continue to pray for all of my Peli family, and continually thank God for you all. Such a blessing you’ve been during this storm we are all in.

one more thing I wanted to share… lately I’ve become much more aware of my sinful nature. All the little things I do that offend my God. An attitude here of “I’m better than you”, a comment there “did you hear what she did now?”, a temper flare up, an impatience towards someone while driving (yeah, right after Mass, really?)

Little little offenses (in my mind) but the Holy Spirit has been awakening me as to how much these offend Him. Little little drops of water when compiled over time, accumulate to larger bodies of water. This is how sin has caught me unaware. This is good, though, this is what I ask of Him… show me how to please you? and what really offends you? He is leading me deeper into the desert.

Lean into him…I like that Terry. Thank you Jesus!

I too have been running from fire to fire at work, in my personal life. Last night for a good portion of the night I prayed, “Jesus I trust in you.” And I too have become more aware of my weaknesses and have been greatly ashamed of them. If these venial sins can cause me so much pain, how horrible will be the pain of those who have sinned mortally.

One night while lying in bed not able to sleep I asked the Lord to show me my sins. He not only showed me my sins especially those dealing with other people but also the ramifications those sins had on others—-not unlike dropping a pebble into a lake and seeing how the waves moved out from the center. It was so horrible that I asked Him to take it away. I could not face it, and I had no idea the harm that simple comments or lack of charity caused to others. What an eye opener. Thank God for confession.

When at adoration today, I had the book He and I by Gabrielle Bossis with me. I asked the Holy Spirit’s guidance as to what to read and I turned to something Jesus had told her during a holy hour. It read:
“Avoid the little faults. Ask me to help you to see them more clearly, in their true light, like a window in sunshine. You will not dare to repeat them; you will be on the watch not to hurt me. And when you notice that you have done wrong, you will ask me to forgive you. My heart has seen everything and is ready to forget because it listens to your words of distress and humility. Oh, the power of repentance! The sacrifice that pleases Me is a cleft and contrite heart. Such a heart I do not despise. So be My very little one.”
These words really touched my heart and it’s wonderful to have them confirmed by Terry, Peli and Carol. Thank you!

Hi, again, everyone!

I wanted to share three articles with you. The first is heart-wrenching: http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/28/why-a-mother-wishes-she-had-aborted-her-son/?iid=obnetwork

I couldn’t keep quiet and commented on it. I’m June1111 in the comments. I hope I did well by all Catholics and by the Lord.

The second article is a beautiful rebuttal to the first: http://www.ncregister.com/blog/simcha-fisher/choice/

And this one ties into both of these articles: http://littlecatholicbubble.blogspot.com/2012/03/mystery-of-suffering-and-personal-story.html

The moral of the story? Redemptive suffering is beautiful, useful and necessary. Lord have mercy, especially on those that hate You.

Peli, I agree, the shame that is felt with awareness of these offenses seemed unbearable the other night. I couldn’t help but think of Our Lord asking us to pray for others to prepare for the Illumination so that they can bear the weight.

June1, This is a horrible story you shared. As a father of six (ages 0-10) I do not regret any one of my children, and I would not trade one day of their lives for any amount of money. I tell you: I am really concerned for my children growing up in this world.

We started our St. Louis De Montfort Consecration on February and I was really struggling at first…I think Stan attacks me as I try to grow in my spirituality …. and I fall sometimes too…..

There is so much hate in the world, even among us Catholics (me too)…. I avoid the homeless when I go to church sometimes …so glad He does not avoid me in my time of need.

I was on CAF the other day and I was saddened so much by the responses about a man who is struggling with sexual sin. I suspect all men, to some degree, struggle with this (yet, there is no escape). It’s on TV, in stores, greeting cards, radio, the computer, and one image can lead to another can lead to another. An alcoholic can avoid bars and buying alcohol, and a gambler, the casino…. but there is no way to avoid sexual images. They are everwhere, and I have even seen inappropriate dress in church. I contineu to notice this as I try to grow in purity but it is so hard. Pray for our men, because Stan is unrelenting in attacking them … so glad He is merciful.

Sorry for the ramble

Have you guys seen the latest Medjugorje message, the one that was released today? It has a different feel to it. Our Lady specifically says this is a time of trial for us. Kind of makes me feel better to know everyone in Heaven sees our sufferings. Nothing is in vain. It’s just hard to remember that when you’re in the thick of things.

Terry, regarding your comment of “Lean into Him”
Recently I heard a faith filled woman speaking about her struggle when she suffered the loss of her son. Her priest advised her to “Lean into Him” (Jesus). As difficult as this time was for her, she received grace to get through it. Interesting that the same words should come up again. I sense they are important words for us. He definitely is with us through all things.

Something I felt the Lord tell me at adoration recently is, “Walk slowly and carefully.” Meaning, I think, that these days are not days to do anything rash, but to be deliberate and cautious. Dangers are all around. So are temptations. Lord Jesus we trust in you.

I just finished reading chapter 7 of HUNGER FOR GOD by John Piper: A HUNGER FOR GOD
http://dwynrhh6bluza.cloudfront.net/resources/documents/1591/hfg_all.pdf?1281041095

Chapter 7 Title: FASTING FOR THE LITTLE ONES
Abortion and the Sovereignty of God Over False Worldviews

It’s such a beautiful and meaningful piece, I can’t begin to summarize it. It’s full of the hurt in the culture of death of our present generation and of the longing and hope in God’s Sovereignty to overturn this false worldview through which we find ourselves swimming as in so much muck. Against which we feel so helpless. But all power is in His Hand, and He can overturn our distress and will overturn our distress when with our prayer and fasting in humility, the time is right for his victory.
It seems for the last few weeks that everything is on hold–almost like I’m holding my breath for something to happen, the way you feel when a hurricane is hovering over you and you’re in the eye of the storm. That stillness is full of expectancy and some trepidation because you know that all hell will be breaking loose, but don’t know exactly when.
Let us persist in prayer, brothers and sisters; as Peli says, “Walk slowly and carefully.” Danger and grief are imminent, but greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
