“My child, watch and pray, then pray some more! Ready your lamps, trim the wicks and do not let apathy extinguish your flame. Instead, keep the light of faith burning brightly so that in the darkness the lost will find their way home. You do not know what is coming. Only grace can help you, but I have poured out grace abundantly; those who ask will receive, shaken down and overflowing. Open your hands and I will fill them. Then, knowing there is no end to what I give, go therefore and do the same. Let grace spill from your abundance to assist those who do not know how to ask. My child, do not tire of praying for the lost. Many are those who have prayed for you. In gratitude for the mercy shown to you, bring to my merciful heart each soul and especially those most in need of my mercy.”

Lord Jesus, this worthless sinner has much to be thankful for. By your grace I offer you all those whose hearts are far from you and all the lukewarm souls that anger you so much. Jesus I trust in you. Save souls! Amen.

“My beloved child, do not be deceived! Much will astonish you in the days and months to come. Remain steadfast in the faith. Cling to the robes of my Mother, for she will keep you safe from the lies and tricks of the enemy. Many souls will be deceived. Much persecution is to come to those who will not worship the beast. Pray my child! Cling to the rosary. Fast and pray for souls. There is much to come, much to endure before the resurrection and the Sabbath rest. Trust in me and cling to my Mother. This alone is your safety.”

Jesus I trust in you. I cling to the robes of our Mother and implore your mercy on the whole world. May the light of truth shine forever! Jesus I trust in you. Amen.

“My child, you do not know the evil plots that are being hatched against my faithful ones. If you knew, you would scarcely believe it, for the venom comes from the source of evil itself. There is much to come, but my children must remain steadfast in their faith. Pray for strength, not just for yourself, but for all those whose faith is weak. Pray that you and they will not be put to the test. My child, receive the sacraments often, for they will strengthen you. Be at peace, for these things will not last. I am near.”

Jesus, help us! Angels and saints, pray for us and strengthen our faith. May we not be put to the test, O Lord, but may all who are tested be strengthened in faith, courage, and fortitude. Holy Spirit, be with us always. Amen.

1 John 4:15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.

“My child, do you comprehend the beauty and simplicity of this promise? Can you fathom the love and humility of your God, who stoops to the level of mere creatures on a solitary act of faith? But that is what your Lord does. To those who believe in him and acknowledge that Jesus, Son of God, has come into the world, all of heaven is granted. For where God is acknowledged, there he is, and where he is, there dwells the unity of heaven, the Gloriana*. Conversely, my child, where Jesus is not acknowledged, but is denied openly, there disunity, disharmony, and chaos abound. Where heaven is absent, hell rushes in. My child, pray for souls and pray for the world, for Christ is being denied as never before. Heaven weeps.”

O my God, Jesus, Son of the living God come in the flesh, I believe, hope, and trust in you, and I ask pardon for all those who do not believe, hope, or trust in you. For the sake of his sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.

(*Gloriana: The angels and saints in perfect communion with the Blessed Trinity; the perfect unity of heaven.)

1 John 4: 4 You belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

“My beloved, keep this firmly in mind when you are tempted to despair. Memorize this verse and let it strengthen you in the time of trial when the enemy will appear to be winning. The God of the resurrection lives in you, my child-Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Then what can disturb you? Stand firm, solid in your faith. Trust in him who gave sight to the blind and called Lazarus from the tomb. Remain at his feet, rest your head on his lap and your loving Father will tenderly stroke your head as an only child. Little one, do not be afraid. I am with you and I love you.”

Thanks be to God! You are the one true God, giver of all hope and joy. Jesus, I trust in you. Father, I love you. Holy Spirit, give me all the gifts I need and that you desire to give me for the sake of the kingdom. Amen.

Nehemiah 6:16 …our enemies lost much face in the eyes of the nations, for they knew that it was with our God’s help that this work had been completed.

“My child, keep in mind whose power is at work in you. Do all for his glory. Labor faithfully with this in mind and you will know peace. The work of God is mighty, even when it appears insignificant, even when the fruits seem hard and slow to ripen. Trust in me. Yoke yourself to me. Have faith. Your enemy will not prevail. Cling to me, for I love you.”

My Jesus, I trust in you. I yoke myself to you. Keep me faithful. Give me strength and perseverance. I accept your free gift of love and cling to you. Jesus in Mary I love you. Amen.

Amos 6:11 Indeed, the LORD has given the command to shatter the great house to bits, and reduce the small house to rubble.

“My child, there is much to come and indeed it is here already. The time of reckoning is upon you. The leveler has been released over the earth. My children must not fear. I myself will come to the aid of those who call on my name. Those attached to their excesses and earthly comforts will have much anxiety. Those whose hearts belong not to the things of earth, but to the kingdom of God will know peace even in turmoil. Do not be afraid! I have said this my child in every voice that will carry the message. There is no need for my children to fear. Even if they have to suffer, it will be sweeter than any earthly prize, for the hosts of heaven will descend and assist them. One angel in a fiery furnace was able to keep my servants safe (Daniel 3). How much more will the heavenly host accomplish for those who praise my name without ceasing! Child trust in me and be at peace.”

Lord Jesus I trust in you! Grant courage, strength, and peace to all who call upon your name. Have mercy on us all. Help us to praise your name unceasingly, without fear. Lord Jesus have mercy. Amen.

“My child, do not be afraid. These prodigies are not beyond the power of your King. Trust in him and you will see greater things than this. Elisha had the mantle of a great prophet, but you have Christ dwelling you. Then pray, hope, and trust. Your King and Lord loves you. Do not be afraid!”

Lord I ask pardon for the fear that grips me when I think of what is coming. Help me to stay in the present where you dwell. Jesus I trust in you! Amen.

Dream 2: The next night I dreamed of the same river in Edmonton. This time I was walking with someone I know who has rejected the faith. I was telling him about the dream as we walked across the river on a wide, solid bridge made for cars. Suddenly the bridge turned off at a right angle into the little wooden bridge of my dream. I said to my companion, “The dream was true!” I felt called to choose the “narrow way”.

When I entered these dreams into my prayer journal, I said, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening. In your mercy reveal the meaning of these dreams.”

“My child, when you see these things happening* you will know that it is time to ‘hunker down”. The persecution will be upon you. The river represents the lies that will flood the earth. The wooden bridge is the church, solid now, but a time will come when it will be submerged–still there, but invisible. The rope is your faith. Hold onto it and you will be safe. Not only that, but through your prayers and love, you will be able to rescue those who may have let go of their faith. The second dream has the two of you on a wide and easy path over the turbulent waters. But a time will come when you will need to choose the narrow, hazardous way. Continue to pray and fast, my child, that your faith may not fail you.”

Lord, my God, I thank you for your care of this unworthy sinner. Lead me. Guide me. Set my feet firmly on the path that leads to you. Sweet Guardian Angel, be with me. Guide me. Amen.

(*The river in Edmonton flooding severely.)

The same day I wrote this in my journal, the following text was posted on Spirit Daily regarding the election of President Obama: “But there is a cloud, a spiritual darkness, that descends and vexes and rains into the river of uncertainty. Where will that river–that rising water flow? We don’t know who Obama is yet…” I felt this was a confirmation of my two dreams.

“My beloved, do not be afraid. Events are now in motion that cannot be stopped. Evil has been given much power by this generation. What has been sown will now be reaped to the great detriment of the entire human race, of the earth, and all on it. Child, now is the time to ‘hunker down’*. Be prepared for hardship and sorrow. Be ready and pray!”

Lord Jesus, protect us! Have mercy! Help me to fast as I pray. I am weak, but you are strong. Give us all we need, O Lord, and hep us to help each other. Amen.

(*To hunker down is to take a defensive position, to lie low, and to be ready to take flight. Hunkering down involves staying alert, keeping our eyes open, and praying more. The more we pray the more we are able to trust God who alone is our help and salvation, and the more we will be disposed to know and follow his will. Personally speaking, I would not make any drastic changes in my life unless I felt certain that it was God’s will, or unless forced to by circumstances. If possible I would prayerfully consult with a holy priest or other faithful, Godly person before doing anything. These are dangerous times. More than ever, we must rely on the gifts of prudence and wisdom. My feeling is that there is not much we can do in a material way to avoid what is coming on account of sin, but that spiritually God’s faithful are in a very good position. He will be our help and our shield. Call on him and he will answer. No matter what happens, God’s team is the winning team. Jesus we trust in you!)
