I think you'd have liked my father very much, he was rock solid in his faith and the last time i was home,regretfully which was almost six months ago,i caused him great distress with my angst about the happenings in the church, yet every single instance or arguement I threw at him his reply was always the same, "the gates of hell will never prevail"!<br /><br />God bless you and keep you close to Him brother, and may St Joseph always intercede for you.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081289185981526013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-74948168849411496322017-10-09T05:08:43.936+01:002017-10-09T05:08:43.936+01:00p.s.

I don't consider myself a victim soul even with the infirmaries that are part of the Cross that I bear; I don't deal with the pain with enough acceptance to be one of Our Lord's victim souls... but I'm working on that. But the pain that I'm dealing with now; physical (gastroparesis and a spine wracked with arthritis), emotional (in dealing with the sale of my home back to by wife for much less than it's worth, a tough decision), mental (I have bipolar affective disorder II and am struggling through a depressive phase), and even spiritual pain over what is going on in the world, I'll be offering all of it up as graciously as I'm able for the repose of your father's soul, and that if he be in purgatory right now, that his transition to the full Beatific Vision in Heaven be a speedy one.

It is Thanksgiving Day in Canada today, so I'm going to be easily able to remember your dad not just today but every year, I will try very hard to remember and will mark it down in my calendar. I have never said a prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows before, but I will right now, and I'll offer any Chaplets of Divine Mercy for the repose of your father's soul as well. I lost my mom quite early, but my own dad only 2 years ago. We had some unresolved issues, but as soon as he passed away suddenly from a heart attack, none of that mattered anymore. I still miss him dearly, so I know a little of how you must feel. Thank you for asking me, I'll be sure to keep faith with that promise and remember him in my prayers every Thanksgiving Day.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-21443700260202130082017-10-08T20:04:13.828+01:002017-10-08T20:04:13.828+01:00Hi Jason, St Joseph is a saint close to my heart a...Hi Jason, St Joseph is a saint close to my heart also so rest assured my friend i will remember you in my supplications to him.<br /><br />If I could ask a favour of you? My father sadly passed away earlier today after a long struggle with illness, he was the man who instilled my love of the faith and although naturally heartbroken,I thank God for hearing his prayers and calling him home. If you could offer a prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows for the repose of his soul,I would be most grateful.

My maybe soon-to-be-ex-wife said that of Irel...p.s. My maybe soon-to-be-ex-wife said that of Ireland as well. Despite some emotional issues of her own (though I'm the pot calling the kettle black), she is a very devout Catholic. She immigrated to Canada in 1999, and just a couple of years ago when she went home for a visit, she was absolutely shocked at how the country had changed so much. Much of her own family that were raised as devoutly as she was hadn't just left the Church, but were atheists now, and even her own mom who taught her the Faith was all in favour of same-sex marriage! She was so down when she got back to Canada, she said something along the lines of "I've been homesick for a place that I've found out hasn't even existed anymore for years already". <br /><br />Even though I'm Austrian ethnically, I'm very proud that my family (who were from Lemberg) became very patriotic and ethusiastic Polish citizens as quickly as Lemberg changed to Lvov at the time of the country's rebirth after the end of the First World War. I still have many family in the area, though it's now part of western Ukraine after the Polish borders changed at the end of the Second World War. My grandma spoke a stange mixture of Polish, German, and Ukrainian in her twilight years, which I learned very well when I was a wee one (I guess her and her grandchildren were the only practitioners in the world!), as her children still communicated with her solely in either Polish or German. So though my link to Poland is a little tenuous, I still feel some pride in that heritage, especially in how Solidarity helped to start the unravelling of the entire East Bloc, and their now incredible devotion against such strong resistence and external criticism. <br /><br />The Polish immigrants in my parish are there even time I make it to Eucharistic adoration, or if I am well enough and can get to morning Mass early enough to pray the liturgy of the hours... it used to just be me, my priest, and a deacon, but it has many of the Poles now, too (and these are people that still have a full days' work ahead of them... I'm on disability and having nothing *but* time but am still often too lazy to go to morning Mass even when I am feeling well enough, let alone early enough to take part in the office of readings before morning Mass. <br /><br />I know it's dangerous to paint any ethnic group with one brush, either bad or good, but all the Polish people I've ever met have been, just, really saintly seeming people. I can't believe I can't remember her name, but a foreign exchange student from Poland in my last year of high school (who I had a giant crush on haha), was stunningly beautiful, but refused to date because she thought Western ideas of dating were too impure for her sensibilities, but I did go over to her house to watch Dekalog on VHS (I still remembered enough Polish then to half-way understand it, and she helped fill me in on the blanks). If you've never seen Dekalog, it's probably the best TV series I've ever watched in my life, in fact, I'm going to try to track it down to watch it again after all these years (this time with subtitles, haha).<br /><br />I'm posting again just to say thank you once more RC. You are so incredibly kind to offer to pray for me, and it is like our Guardian Angels must have had a talk, because I've never needed the prayers of others in my life like I do now with what I have ahead of me for the next month or two. It makes it doubly so when I was so rude and completely out-of-line to you on that other topic, yet you forgave me so quickly, and now offering prayers for me... you are the kind of Catholic I want to be much more like <3Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-85044146840052359732017-10-08T06:02:56.404+01:002017-10-08T06:02:56.404+01:00Boy, RC, you couldn't have offered this at a b...Boy, RC, you couldn't have offered this at a beter time, as (without getting into detail) I'm in one of the most stressful times I've been in in at least the last year.

I fully concur with your observations on the probability of the new world saving the old, in particular as a european I believe Poland is the last beacon of Catholicism here and a shining example to be followed by all of europe. The Polish strike me as a faithful,holy people and as an Irishman I lament the fact my own country used to be very much like that.<br /><br />If I may be personal for a moment? It seems like you have had many crosses to bear my friend and I admire your resilience and your love of The Holy Catholic church. If there are any particular saints you have a devotion to I'd surely like to send a few prayers their way for your intentions.God bless you brother.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081289185981526013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-23992805254657010162017-10-08T01:37:12.953+01:002017-10-08T01:37:12.953+01:00p.s. Growing up in a country that is a constitutio...p.s. Growing up in a country that is a constitutional monarchy, I used to think that Canada would possibly fuction better as a republic (especially because of the historical enmity Quebecers feel toward the British Crown), but the older I get the more I think maybe even absolute monarchies would be better than what we have today; I can see the connection between the end of the monarchies and the social dissolution and complete lack of morality, especially of the Judeo-Christian type, that exists in the Western industrialized nations today who have almost completely lost the Gospel.<br /><br />I thank Our Lord for countries like Poland, and the many African and Latin American nations, that have still held true to the Church and its teachings.<br /><br />Just a few years ago, going to Mass I would see the parents of the friends that I'd grown up with there... but never the friends. In my mid 40s I would have been considered part of the "youth wing" of our parish, haha, and one of the very few with younger children that would regularly attend Mass (as well as teaching our kids the faith and praying the Rosary and Chplet of Divine Mercy at home, and enthroning the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart in our home). <br /><br />I count my marriage falling apart as the deepest failure in my life (which includes many, many failures, including being a recovering heroin addict, though the physical and sexual abuse I experienced as a child were not insignificant factors).<br /><br />But more on topic, I worried about how are ever-shrinking parish could survive; in s them of 30,000 people it looked liked we'd need to merge with the only other parish in town.<br /><br />But as almost an answer to my prayers, Saskatchewan got a rapidly expanded Filipino community, and the lead are mire full than they were even in my childhood. Everyone I the entire church sings as loudly and unabashedly as the choir (and as beautifully, too). There is a true sense of community back, and sometimes during one of those wonderful hymns it sounds like Heaven come diwn to Earth, just as the Mass in a way actually is. Its as if the old world is being saved by the new in a way... so incredibly grateful fir this!!!Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-34641007620401791502017-10-08T01:14:52.410+01:002017-10-08T01:14:52.410+01:00Thank you so much Jennifer, you're much too ki...Thank you so much Jennifer, you're much too kind, but yes, I fully agree with you and am so appreciative of every member of this mini-community that Emmett's incredible writings have brought together, including the ones I often on opposite ends with on a lot of things.

I would just add that you are right to bring up the slaughter of so many of the clergy during the Russian/Communist revolutions, the Civil war in Spain, and the Mexican civil war. Prior to those events, the French Revolution witnessed wholesale slaughter of clergy and consecrated men and women on a scale not seen before. The way the good men and women of the Vendee resisted and witnessed to Christ is an inspiration for all of us. I pray daily for courage like theirs. I would argue that historians would prefer for us to view such events as purely political. The animosity and the irrational vengeance shown towards the Holy Roman Catholic Church, should lead most to conclude that these events were much deeper than surface political differences. It is evidence of the spiritual battle waging about us.<br />Some would argue that even the members of royal families that were put to death as a result of the violent turmoil in France, Russia, and Europe are in fact Christian martyrs. They essentially died for their faith. By their deaths, God was thus removed from daily life and government. I am in no way saying these people lead saintly lives, however, they died because of their Faith.<br />Emmett is indeed blessed with a special comprehension and deep wisdom for amazing insights and connections. And, you, Jason, are just as blessed with a gift for vast knowledge and an ability to share complex issues in a succinct manner. Sorry to hear of your situation. Thank you for using your time wisely and for sharing what you surmise with us. <br />What a wonderful of group of people Emmett has cobbled together!<br />-jenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-1799907705257411872017-10-07T21:42:20.417+01:002017-10-07T21:42:20.417+01:00p.s.

The onky way to eradicate the threat of their nuclear weapons would be an all-out nuclear strike the would wipe out the whole country. And it isn't just Trump... no American president would tolerate North Korea possessing nuclear tipped ICBMs that could hit any part of the continental US.<br /><br />The only thing still up for debate I think is if the US waits for the North to do something as incredibly stupid as shoot down an American plane over international waters, or precede with an unprovoked first strike. Thus is crucial though as China has said that any unprovoked attack would be considered an act of war against China as well, which would likely lead to a much more widespread nuclear holocaust as well as leaving the fragile global economy in tatters. I think Trump's bellicose language is specifically trying to elicit a foolish attack directly against any American assets, so they can nuke the DPRK back into the stone age without China getting involve. Both scenarios are horrific, but directly conflict between the US and China infinitely moreso.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-53187389425060206182017-10-07T20:28:48.103+01:002017-10-07T20:28:48.103+01:00Aww, thank you Bridget!

Thank you Emmett for letting me go on with all my speculating about Catalonia being a potential lynch pin in the prophecies of civil war and revolution breaking out beginning in France and Italy almost simultaneously. I know Spain or more specifically Catalonia aren't named in those prophecies so I'm kind of going out on a limb, and maybe even shoehorning the crisis over Catalonia in to a bigger prophetic event than it is, but I appreciate being able to go so very off-topic in the comments sections to share information with and between other readers (it's also nice to talk about something that isn't as devisive, but the goings-on with Pope Francis I see as much as you as being a prophesied event coming to pass).Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-19294686819309338722017-10-07T09:02:01.582+01:002017-10-07T09:02:01.582+01:00It is worthy to note that a major bastion of the R...It is worthy to note that a major bastion of the Republican forces and thought was centred in Catalonia, with Barcelona being somewhat their unofficial capital (George Orwell, who fought on the side of the Communists and Anarchists in Spain, details this in his book "Homage to Catalonia"). The war ends just prior to the outbreak of even greater war (which was indeed proceeded with an supernatural Aurora Borealis which did not coincide with any solar activity that could explain it), The Second World War, which Spain mostly sits out of other than the volunteer Azul ("Blue") Division used on the Eastern Front against the Soviets. <br /><br />After the end of the Second World War, we have many more Marian apparitions during the Cold War echoing that of Our Lady of Fatima, with many also believing that the 1984 Consecration performed by Pope St. John Paul precluded at the last moment a general and full-out nuclear war between the West and the Communist Bloc which would have fit in quite well with the "the living will envy the dead" phrase, as well as being very tied in with the imagery of the apparition to Sr. Lucia at Tuy in 1944 (at least in my imagination with the lance being very much like an ICBM and the head that detaches being very much like MIRVs). <br /><br />Our Lady of Akita is worthy of special note for what will befall mankind, which I think I see the beginnings of happening right now). There is more, but skipping ahead, we see Spain breaking apart again, threatening to take it back to the divisions on the Iberian Penisula before the Reconquista... and the Spanish Civil War is very commonly referred to as the "Dress Rehearsal for the Second World War". <br /><br />The events unfolding day by day in Catalonia is bringing back the spectre of another full-blown civil war in Europe proper, something that only a relatively short time ago would have been just unthinkable. The earthquakes in Mexico I think are tied to Fatima by way of how Spain brought the Faith to the New World, as are the ones in Japan as the Akita apparitions are so tied to Fatima as well, especially when looking at the 1944 Tuy apparition as an integral part of the entire Fatima message (as well as the fact that the Akita 3rd message, the one so mirroring the message of Our Lady of Fatima, occurred on Oct. 13, 1973, 56 years to the day after the Miracle of the Sun).<br /><br />That was a dense reading that was a bit rambly, so I'll leave it at that, but Spain seems to be an oculus that tie many of the other events between 1492 and our present day together in a way that isn't exactly clear until trying to take in the entire picture at once. Please pray with me for a peaceful resolution in Catalonia; Dear Jesus, please fill the hearts of all those in Spain on either side of this issue with Your mercy and kindness, that a peaceful resolution can be reached, and that if more conflict is to come, that it not spread to other countries or areas outside of Spain, but more than anything, as always, Thy will be done, Amen.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-56012288921050095512017-10-07T09:01:50.294+01:002017-10-07T09:01:50.294+01:00Thank you so much Jennifer for such a nice comment...Thank you so much Jennifer for such a nice comment... and thanks for pointing out the wave of new states splitting off (mostly from the Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian empires at the end of the war, which is getting very close to its hundredth anniversary). Great connection with the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. I don't usually think of it as so linked to the Enlightenment and the French (and also in a way, the American) Revolutions, but now that you write that connection down I'm kind of amazed I hadn't thought of it before!!<br /><br />So, as a rough time line, we have the unification of Spain and the Reconquista removing the last Islamic kingdom from Spain in 1492, and hot on the heels of that, the first Spanish trip to the Americas with Columbus, which ultimately peaked (spiritually) at least with the conversion of the entire Mayan nation through Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. <br /><br />Next big event 1617 and the start of the Protestant heresy, which as you so aptly pointed out led ultimately to the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799, which further led to the system of European monarchies being replaced by Republics. 1848 is a big year for revolutions across Europe after a period of serious tensions and unrest (not unlike the world today actually), which led to Marx and Engels and the beginnings of capital "C" Communism. <br /><br />Next, the First World War, just prior to having broken out (and a result of ethnic tensions between Serbia and what they saw as Austro-Hungarian interference in the Southern Slavic lands still relishing their new freedom from the Ottoman Empire). Of course, a very big one, the appearance of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917, and subsequent appearances to Sr. Lucia for years afterwards, mentioning Russia, Spain and Portugal specifically as needing prayers for conversion. Also the promise that if people's hearts do not turn toward her Son, an even greater war preceded by a great light over Europe. <br /><br />Next, the Soviets seize power in Russia, and after securing their victory, attempt to take over all of Western Europe (only Poland stopped them at the so-called Miracle of the Vistula in 1920, a battle I'm proud to say my Austrian grandfather from Galicia, now Western Ukraine, fought in as a regimental commander in the Polish army, and a victory he at least always maintained to my grandma belonged to the intervention of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa). <br /><br />Next, as well as the mass killing of clergy, both Catholic and moreso Orthodox in the CCCP, the slaughter of clergy on an awful scale under the Revolutionary government in Mexico, then the even more awful Spanish Civil War, where the Republican government encouraged the murder of clergy on a level not seen since the Diocletianic Persecution (I find it a terrible crime of history that the Spanish Civil War is portrayed as a fight against fascism, which it absolutely was not, with the Falange delagated to the smallest role Franco could force on them in actuality, and much of Franco's extreme actions being out of necessity to stop the slaughter of clergy). <br /><br />Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-7104203212425869172017-10-06T21:01:34.225+01:002017-10-06T21:01:34.225+01:00Jason et al,

Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us.<br />Jason, brilliant connections you are making. Another came to mind, the separatists' movements prevalent throughout Europe one hundred years ago and the Russian Revolution all sync with the Blessed Mother's warning at Fatima. Just as now, one hundred years later we have on the anniversary of Fatima, separatists' movements throughout Europe and real possibility of revolutions/aka civil wars, in Europe and in United States. Along with the 500th hundred anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, which directly paved the way for the French Revolution, and most other world conflicts since and conflicts within the Catholic Church, we are witnessing historic times in the making.<br />May God abundantly bless and protect all here, Amen.<br />-jennifer<br />Curious lyrics to "In Dream" from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack -<br /><br />When the cold of Winter comes<br />Starless night will cover day<br />In the veiling of the sun<br />We will walk in bitter rain<br /><br />But in dreams<br />(But in dreams)<br />I still hear your name<br />And in dreams<br />(And in dreams)<br />We will meet again<br /><br />When the seas and mountains fall<br />And we come to end of days<br />In the dark I hear a call<br />Calling me there<br />I will go there<br />And back againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-7554639206993267412017-10-05T21:34:12.908+01:002017-10-05T21:34:12.908+01:00Sorry, I meant to address you as Sr. Marianne!Sorry, I meant to address you as Sr. Marianne!Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-88009447531741095542017-10-05T21:33:39.846+01:002017-10-05T21:33:39.846+01:00I agree with that assessment, too, wholeheartedly ...I agree with that assessment, too, wholeheartedly Marianne. If the prophecies of an Islamic invasion (of an actual military type) happen, a built-in fifth column already exists in places like France and others that have a large fundamentalist Muslim component that don't seem at all interested in integrating into their host countries. This may sound bigoted and politically incorrect to note, but it's simply a matter of fact.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-33535122046085464792017-10-05T21:27:08.343+01:002017-10-05T21:27:08.343+01:00Jason R., thank you for your interesting comments ...Jason R., thank you for your interesting comments about Spain.<br />I have the Desmond Birch book too, and I think that the "civil war" in France and other parts of Europe has already begun, with the large influx of Muslims. France has had several terror attacks, without counting the more frequent acts of violence like burning cars. That doesn't get as much coverage but there definitely is a divide. The soft invasion of Muslims has increased greatly due to the refugee crisis the past couple years. Europe will only see more violence as this progresses.Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195314713288191226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-41810424879041697992017-10-05T21:22:15.353+01:002017-10-05T21:22:15.353+01:00I've got some other commitments today, but I&#...I've got some other commitments today, but I'd like to make a kind of timeline of crucial events since the unification of Castile and Aragon right up to the present crisis in Catalonia in kind of point form to make it more digestible for a casual reader; if you are able and interested, Colin, would you be interested in summarizing the part related to Fatima as you have a really great understanding of it?Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.com
