Mary Magdalene Was Not A Prostitute ~ Women, Do You Know Your Place In Life?

About 30 years ago, I took a Biblical Andragogy course through the Worcester Diocese. This was a deep study into the Old Testament taught by a Jesuit priest. I wanted to throw the book at him. It seemed to me that Jesuits pulled apart everything I ever learned about the Bible in all my previous Bible Studies and whatever was left, well, that was what was left of my faith.

This concept was echoed by another well respected priest when I confided in him that the Jesuit approach was disheveling my faith. This priest went on further to say that with the multiplication of the loaves and fishes on the mountain when Jesus fed 5,000 people, that it was possible that the people had anticipated being gone for the day and took their own loaves and fish along with them. Was this humanly possible? Yes, but it was eroding my understanding of Jesus and the Bible.

Today, I can appreciate pulling apart what was spoon fed to me as a child.

Yesterday I mentioned that the first eleven verses of John 8 were a story added later for effect. There was a reason for this.

Remember in the Gospel of Philip, that he writes that Jesus loved Mary Magdalene more than the other disciples. This infuriated Peter and some of the others. Also remember that for the first 364 years after Jesus walked among us, women were allowed to be priests, preach and teach, AND hold the breaking of the bread ceremony, along with being able to baptize people.

It was not until the numerous Councils of Nicaea, Laodicea, Trent, among others, that the voice of women was suppressed in the fledgling church. It seems it began with changing the rules to hold sacred services, by not allowing women to bathe with men, nor could they all of a sudden approach the alter as they had been doing since the time of Jesus. Rules were added later by men with definite agendas.

Also do not forget that at that time, the bishops were working very closely with the patriarchal rulers of Rome. Women were not allowed in Roman leadership positions, other positions women were relegated to, but not public service in any capacity, religious or otherwise.

Suddenly women were expected to know their place, which was behind men. Jesus never sanctioned this change, nor did God, Father of Jesus Christ, nor the Holy Spirit. Rome did not rule all the known world but wanted to. Women had known times of matriarchal society.

Jesus never taught that women were above men, nor that men were above women. He taught mutual respect for every individual, even those people not of Jewish background, such as the Samaritan woman at the well.

The addition of verses 1-11 in John 8 came later, I have discovered in my Bible studies spanning 50 years, to emphasize and place women in a negative light, in the role of the constant sinner, unworthy of equality and religious public service.

Men wrote the story in Genesis, blaming women for what is called Original Sin. The actual Original Sin is the fault of the fallen angels raping women, of Genesis 6:1 fame, then blaming women for “eating the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden.” Sound familiar?

Being raped by the is not the fault of any woman, then or now. History has been repeating itself ever since.

Equality is the key point that Jesus Christ was revolutionizing the thought of his time. It is just as poignant today.

Women, you are worthy, worthy of love, life, liberty, and equality in this world. You are not less than a man. You are not more than a man. Women, you are equal to men. This is the teaching of Jesus.

Many religions claiming to be the Religious Right, or in the right, are not following the teachings of Jesus, which they proclaim that they do. They are picking and choosing which words of Jesus and the other apostles to follow. If you research this, you will see it is the writings of Paul, who was trained as a patriarchal Pharisee, who changed the words and intention of Jesus, not Jesus himself.

Why is this important today?

The role of women is still under attack 2022 years after Jesus Christ walked among us. Jesus taught everyone to continue to teach, preach, and hold public service, public and otherwise.

Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. She was the closest, faithful companion of Jesus. She is a shining example to all women of how to breathe, walk, and talk with dignity, respect, honor, valor, peace and love without conditions, rules, and regulations placed as restrictions to Universal Life. It is the quiet, sincere presence of Mary Magdalene, who stood valiantly at the foot of the cross, alongside of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

You are worthy. You are worthy of life, love, and abundance.

If personal safety is an issue, CALL someone. With staying home, abusive situations can escalate. No one has a right to harm you.

What are the signs we need to watch out for?

• The other person always criticizing you.
• The other person always telling you what to do.
• Having to answer to the other person.
• Having to keep to the time schedule of the other person.
• Always having to ask for permission to think, say or do anything.
• Having the other person always manipulating you.
• We all have the God-given right to life. We all have the right to live our lives the best way we see fit. We do not need to live our lives under someone’s thumb.

We do not need to live our lives in debilitating fear, obligation and guilt of someone else injuring ourselves or themselves in some way.

There are suicide prevention hotlines. There are abuse hotlines. There are mental health providers.

You and I, unless we are specially trained with degrees in these mental health fields, are not trained to deal with these real life and death matters. Yes, we care about the people in our lives. We serve no one when we shut ourselves down along with the manipulating and/or mentally sick person. That is not helping.

What will lift us out of despair?

1. Acknowledge your feelings. Feelings are not right or wrong, they just are.

2. Decide to change your feelings from those of despair, depression, helplessness or any other dysfunctional negative feelings that are binding you into fear and immobilization. You can do this.

3. Realize that deciding not to stay stuck with despair, depression, helplessness or any other dysfunctional negative feeling does not invalidate the feelings, nor you.

4. Make a conscious choice as to what feeling you want to have, the next lighter feeling in freedom which you can think.

5. Focus only on the feeling you are planning to achieve. Notice I did not say “trying” to achieve. The words “trying” is an open door to failure. It is a way out for you to be able to say, “At least I tried.” Do not “try” to do anything. DO IT. Realize that you can be happy, right where you are, in a line waiting for food, and speaking with others in life-affirming statements on the streets, which bring about other possibilities and opportunities not yet realized.

6. Organize your thoughts, words and actions. Be the change you wish to see in the world around you. By encouraging others in positive ways, you encourage yourself. As long as you are living, breathing and moving, you have the ability to change despair into functional conversations with positive plans to help yourself and others. Make sure you use your voice to VOTE. No one can take away your human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

7. Know that you are not alone. Even if you remain wearing masks and social distancing, we can reach out by cell phones and social media, zoom, Skype and many other current ways to build each other up, support noble ideas for the common good of all people; and change ignorance into intelligence. Where there is darkness, shine your light of a smile, encouraging words to yourself and your family and friends, and be the Light on the hill for all to see by.

I only chose 7 suggestions out of a thousand I could mention. Perhaps one of these triggers another thought, which then brings you to an even better thought. Go with the next highest vibration of thought to lift you out of despair.

It all begins with a DECISION to feel better. These times are tough, but they are not the end. You are stronger than you realize. We grow in character when we face tough times.

I used to pray for patience, a lot, until I realized one day that by praying for patience, I was inviting in adversity, so I could practice my patience! That is when I DECIDED to claim and fully realize, that I had all the patience I needed. It worked! I simply needed to act on that realization in order to move forward and create abundance of all good things in my life, compared to only witnessing the adversity.

We can re-build our lives. We cannot bring back those who have lost their lives, of course, but we can take the necessary next steps forward in our healing process. Now is not forever. There is so much we can do to help ourselves, and others, in this time of uncertainty.

Choose only thoughts, words and actions based on LOVE and LIGHT. All else harms you and the whole of humanity.

TRANSUBSTANTIATION = MULTI-DIMENSIONAL TRANSFORMATION

What exactly is it that we ought to be doing?

Please begin by taking a deep breath, several of them, especially if you are Catholic or of Eastern Religion religious philosophy. There is nothing I am going to say here that goes against the meaning of the word, “transubstantiation,” as described by the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes the word, “transubstantiation” as: the miraculous change by which according to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox dogma the eucharistic elements at their consecration become the body and blood of Christ while keeping only the appearances of bread and wine.

An example was also cited, using the word “transubstantiation” in a sentence as: “Found in Catholic doctrine, transubstantiation is when the substance of bread is turned into the substance of the body of Christ during the eucharist.” — Marya E. Gates, Vulture, 10 Aug. 2021

The first known use of the word “transubstantiation” comes from the 14^th century, as in the sentence: “When the Protestant reformers in the 16th century rejected the Catholic teaching that the bread and wine substantively became the body and blood of Jesus, Catholic Church leaders affirmed the teaching, called transubstantiation.” — New York Times, 26 June 2021

Why am I bothering to go through these understandings of the word transubstantiation?

The Catholic Church is not wrong in teaching that physical substance can be physically and spiritually transformed into something of a higher vibrational frequency through intention, thought, and the spoken word. It happens every day at morning Mass all over the world.

Physical bread and wine are transformed into spiritual food, as all believers agree. This is a perfect example of ordinary bread, or in this case unleavened bread if we’re being truly authentic to the ritual of Jesus at the Last Supper, transmuting, transforming, transubstantiating into the multi-dimensional qualities and properties of the Love and Light of Jesus, which is the same Love and Light of the Source of All Creation.

This is known to be a sacred moment, receiving the Eucharist believed by many to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But is it truly human flesh we are eating and human blood we are drinking?

This metanoia experience for each individual is a deeply spiritual and personal interaction with their sacred roots and beliefs. It is the consecration of everyday items, such as bread and wine, into something elevated to a sacred status that is the point here.

Consecration means to make or declare sacred, to devote irrevocably to the worship of God by a solemn ceremony, or by blessing with intention. Notice this all takes place starting with the intention to do so, by thoughts, words, and actions.

But it is not only the priest who has this role in life. It is not only the priest who believes this.

How literal did Jesus intend his words to be taken and understood?

What exactly are we to do in memory of Jesus?

Is it literally the reenactment of the Last Supper?

Is it only the priest who is to do the “Do this in memory of me?”

Are the congregations who believe in this way to be simply bystanders and recipients of the bread and wine multi-dimensionally transformed into spiritual food by only ordained special people?

Are there other words of Jesus that we are to do in his memory?

Did Jesus mean that literally we are to eat his physical flesh and drink his literal blood, or did he use a metaphor to illustrate the spiritual reality that the unleavened bread he used and the wine on the table of the Last Supper, were to be our spiritual food of Love without conditions, and the drink of non-judgment, lived out on purpose in each of our lives, or only those of the ordained special people?

In the breaking of the bread, did he mean for us to literally break the bread?

It’s about sharing, not hoarding. It’s about empathy and compassion, not justification of hardened hearts filled with human reasons and human logic of why we should not help the unfortunate among us, why we ought not to make fun of others, nor put men, women, and children in cages for political purposes.

“There, but for the grace of God, go I.“

On one hand we all know this to be true. On the other hand, we split hairs tripping the seeming paradoxes of Jesus meant “this,” or Jesus meant “that.” Look at the numerous brands of Christianity, and other myriad religions, for example.

Then there are conscientious people of integrity who choose not to follow in the footsteps of human religious institutions, preferring to follow in the footsteps of Jesus rather than man. These ones who do not fit the profile of a particular brand of religion often seek and find personal growth in spiritual development, as opposed to abdicating the God-given free will usurped by leaders of various religion organizations, no matter how well-meaning they may be, or slivers of truth they might have.

If transubstantiation transforms and transmutes bread and wine into the spiritual substance of Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit, then aren’t we all discussing non-human interaction? Since God is not terrestrial, then this transubstantiation is this a multi-dimensional transformation, is it not?

Religions may be as old as the sun, but the New Paradigm welcoming in multi-dimensional transformation IS EXACTLY what takes place on every Catholic altar every day since the Last Supper.

The Catholic Living Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, Wheaton, Illinois, sixth printing in 1965, quotes Jesus in Luke 17:20-21, “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘When will the Kingdom of God begin?’ Jesus replied, ‘The Kingdom of God isn’t ushered in with visible signs.’ You won’t be able to say, ‘It has begun here in this place, or there in that part of the country.’ For the Kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus did not say you will find the Kingdom when some other religion tells you all about it, as if it is on the outside of you, or in some like-minded religion.

Yes, I know, many bibles over 2,000 years have gone back and forth, changing the original Sanskrit and Aramaic words to “among” rather than the original “within” you in this Luke 17:20-21 verse. But the most recent understand, including the most modern versions of the King James Bible, are now correcting the wording back to its original intention. Shall we go by the scribe’s manipulation of the word “within,” or shall we go with the actual word used by Jesus? The Interlinear Bible of Hebrew, Greek, English translations agrees that this word is “within.”

This means that the Kingdom of God is within you. It is also outside of you, because the Love and Light of the Source of All Creation is within the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms of Earth, as well as every other thing in the galaxy, universe and cosmos. However, it is not only in religious men of the day pontificating their religious viewpoint.

The Light and Love of God is within each one of us, animating us. When this Energy known as the Presence of God calls Itself back to Itself, we drop our body as a change of garment for our Soul, until the next round of incarnation, unless we finally got the Loving and forgiving right this time, and we ascend just as Jesus taught us to do.

Organized religions, while they may contain partial truths within their teachings, they also seek to subjugate their congregations, robbing them of their personal power and free will. They manipulate with humanmade threats of eternal damnation; hell, fire, and brimstone. We are born with God-given free will. No one has the right to usurp our free will from us by introducing fear, guilt, or obligation. Some human religious and political groups seek to rob us of the God-given free will with which we are all born, regardless of where we live on Earth. We only need to look at the Crusades, the ethnic cleansing, and the holocausts to see how humankind manipulates the minds of many.

Did I say holocausts, as if there were more than one? Well, among other ethnic cleansings of those who did not believe in the “right” way, we do not see many Canaanites around these days, right?

In The New Living Translation Bible, 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?”

Transubstantiation deals with recognizing that what is done on every Catholic altar in the world every day, is the same Loving Light Multi-Dimensional Transformation we allow ourselves to manifest each and every day by our own intentions, thoughts, words, and actions.

I encourage everyone not to get stuck in semantics, taking sides as if this matter is all separate, assorted into the categories of human understanding. There is more at stake. Our spiritual evolution, elevating the awareness of who and what we actually are, all of us, not just some of us within the box of certain segments of religious or other understanding; all of us are on this journey of enlightenment, culminating eventually in ascension.

While all our paths may be different, we all have the only hands God has to experience in and through us. The beautiful soul of the late Bishop George Rueger told me this in spiritual direction years ago when I ask him what more I could do to better serve God. I was married with five children, teaching CCD, and holding bible studies in my house for adults. We serve God best by living our ordinary lives with an eye towards transforming, transmuting, and yes, transubstantiating our everyday moments into the sacred realities they truly are. We do this by recognizing when the answer to today’s issues is brought to life through empathy and compassion for all, not just for the self or particular group within humanity.

We will all experience the seeds we and others before us have planted. Some of us will experience limitation and darkness. Others of us may learn how to draw upon transubstantiating the vibrations of limitations and darkness into the Living, Pulsating Light of the Source of All through our intentions and thoughts, just as consecrating the bread and wine is multi-dimensionally transformed by intentions and thoughts of the priest into the substance of Living, Pulsating Love without conditions and Living non-Judgment takes place every day in every Mass in the entire world.

We are all looking at the same beautiful, multi-faceted, multi-dimensional transformation/transubstantiation diamond, radiating its blessing and knowledge to everyone who wishes to dig deeper into all the words and actions of Jesus the Christ.

National Shrine of Divine Mercy ~ The Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song ~ Prayer Jesus Gave to St. Faustina

Before the days of COVID-19 … Let’s join in prayer:

The Biography of St. Maria Faustina

(August 25, 1905 – October 5, 1938)

An excerpt from Apostle of Divine Mercy, a biography published by the Vatican.

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, an apostle of Divine Mercy, belongs today to the group of the most popular and well-known saints of the Church.

Through her, the Lord Jesus communicates to the world the great message of God’s mercy and reveals the pattern of Christian perfection based on trust in God and on the attitude of mercy toward one’s neighbors.

Sister Faustina was born on August 25, 1905 in Glogowiec, Poland of a poor and religious family of peasants, the third of 10 children. She was baptized with the name Helena in the parish church of Swinice Warckie. From a very tender age she stood out because of her love of prayer, work, obedience, and also her sensitivity to the poor. At the age of seven she had already felt the first stirrings of a religious vocation. Helen made her first Holy Communion at the age of nine, which was very profound moment in her awareness of the presence of the Divine Guest within her soul. She attended school for three years. After finishing school, she wanted to enter the convent, but her parents would not give her permission. Being of age at 16, Helen left home and went to work as a housekeeper in Aleksandrów, Lodi, and Ostrówek in order to find the means of supporting herself and of helping her parents.

Helen joins Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy

Helen never lost her desire for a religious vocation. After being called during a vision of the Suffering Christ, she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy on August 1, 1925, and took the name Sr. Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament. She lived in the Congregation for thirteen years in several religious houses. She spent time at Krakow, Plock and Vilnius, where she worked as a cook, gardener, and porter.

Externally nothing revealed her rich mystical interior life. She zealously performed her tasks and faithfully observed the rule of religious life. She was recollected and at the same time very natural, serene, and full of kindness and disinterested love for her neighbor. Although her life was apparently insignificant, monotonous and dull, she hid within herself an extraordinary union with God.

It is the mystery of the Mercy of God which she contemplated in the word of God as well as in the everyday activities of her life that forms the basis of her spirituality. The process of contemplating and getting to know the mystery of God’s mercy helped develop within Sr. Maria Faustina the attitude of child-like trust in God as well as mercy toward her neighbors.

Sister Faustina was a faithful daughter of the Church which she loved like a Mother and the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. Conscious of her role in the Church, she cooperated with God’s mercy in the task of saving lost souls. At the specific request of and following the example of the Lord Jesus, she made a sacrifice of her own life for this very goal. In her spiritual life she also distinguished herself with a love of the Eucharist and a deep devotion to the Mother of Mercy.

The Secretary of God’s Mercy

The Lord Jesus chose Sr. Maria Faustina as the Apostle and “Secretary” of His Mercy, so that she could tell the world about His great message, which Sr. Faustina recorded in a diary she titled Divine Mercy in My Soul. In the Old Covenant He said to her: 

“I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart.” (Diary, 1588)

In an extraordinary way, Sr. Maria Faustina’s work sheds light on the mystery of the Divine Mercy. It delights not only the simple and uneducated people, but also scholars who look upon it as an additional source of theological research. The Diary has been translated into more than 20 languages, including, English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Castilian, Brazilian, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian, Dutch and Japanese.

Jesus asked Sister Marie Faustina to paint him with the red and white rays with the words, “Jesus I Trust In You” at the bottom.

With the help of Fr. Sopocko, St. Faustina found a painter to fulfill the request Jesus had made to her in one of the visions – to “paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You” – and in 1934 the painter Eugene Kazimierowski created the original Divine Mercy painting under St. Faustina’s direction.

The image shows Christ with his right hand raised as if giving a blessing, and the left touching his chest. Two rays, one pale, one red – which Jesus said are to signify water and blood – are descending from his heart.

Sister Maria Faustina, consumed by tuberculosis and by innumerable sufferings which she accepted as a voluntary sacrifice for sinners, died in Krakow at the age of just 33 on October 5, 1938, with a reputation for spiritual maturity and a mystical union with God. The reputation of the holiness of her life grew as did the cult to the Divine Mercy and the graces she obtained from God through her intercession. In the years 1965-67, the Investigative Process into her life and heroic virtues was undertaken in Krakow and in the year 1968, the Beatification Process was initiated in Rome. The latter came to an end in December 1992.

On April 18, 1993 our Holy Father, John Paul II raised St. Faustina to the glory of the altars. She was canonized on April 30, 2000. St. Maria Faustina’s remains rest at the Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy in Krakow-Lagiewniki.

Warnings From Heaven by http://pedroregis.com/en-us/mensagens/

5,075 – Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace, transmitted in 1/21/2021 (apelosurgentes.com.br)

Suppose you happen to hear somebody saying; “Men have prepared the virus of death and my poor children will experience great sufferings. There will be no barriers to contain its advance”, what would be your immediate response? I am asking this question in the present context of coronavirus spreading like wildfire. I am not going deep into the question of where the virus originated from. Whatever be the true reason behind the outbreak of the pandemic, one thing is sure, the spread of virus was a manmade disaster. Geographical barriers cannot stop its spread.

After seeing the relentless advance of COVID-19 and all its variants, most of you will agree that the initial statement was surely a warning message from heaven. What you guessed is correct. It was a warning from heaven about the outbreak of a deadly disease in the world. But I need to add something more. The message was given to a man in Brazil by Our Lady Queen of Peace 17 years ago. To be precise, it was message number 2594 given by Mother Mary to Pedro Regis of Brazil on October 25, 2005. Perhaps some among us has read about it somewhere, sometime earlier but forgot it over time.

When we see the doors of churches shut all over the world, online services, priests finding it difficult to offer Mass, and the faithful lamenting about not getting the Blessed Sacrament, we may wonder how unexpectedly these things happened. It was not in our wildest dreams that we would not be allowed to enter our parish church and attend Mass. But it happened. When we were sitting complacent, thinking that everything was going well, it fell like a bolt from the blue. There was no warning, it was so unexpected, you may think. Now read the following:

“An order will be given and the doors will be shut. Those who are consecrated will not be permitted to fulfill their duties and the faithful will weep and lament.” It is not from the newspapers of the past week. It was a message given to Pedro Regis (message no 2990) on 04/29/2008.

When COVID-19 and its newer variations spread from one nation to another, remember this message of Mother Mary. “Now is the time of the great tribulations. An epidemic will spread to various nations and my poor children will experience a heavy cross” (message no 2626 dated 10, 1, 2006).

When we see China, Italy, England, the United States of America, and the entire world struggling with COVID-19 and the death toll on January 10, 2022 crossing 5,500,000, remember Our Lady’s message no 3807 of April 16, 2013; “Death will pass through Italia and my poor children will carry a heavy cross. Similar events will occur in Lima.”

When I skimmed through the messages for preparing this article, one thing that caught my attention was that certain messages were repeated multiple times. They were messages about the importance of sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession. Every message was a call for holding on to sacraments so as to get the strength to tide over the period of trials. And the second most repeated messages were related to the impending time of trials. Our Lady has been giving us warnings for the past many years.

Not everyone in the world is Catholic. But humanity can take these words of wisdom and apply them to our lives. Confessing the thoughts, words, and actions we have done wrong, the hurts we have caused to ourselves and others, all these can be rectified by acknowledging our mistakes and asking for forgiveness, both from ourselves and others.

Then make time for spiritual communions, those moments we carve out of the day to commune with Christ deep inside our hearts. Life is more than the daily tasks and more than the mundane minutes of each day. Spiritual communions can take place while driving, going for walks in nature, and taking that moment over a cup of tea in a quiet room or even in a busy coffee shop.

The third most repeated messages are about the need to be faithful to the true magisterium of the Church. Our Lady has warned that efforts are on to change the teachings of the Church with an ulterior motive. Everything will be done in the guise of good intentions.

The problem arises when the magisterium of the Church prohibits all the teachings of Jesus Christ, which are locked away in the vaults of the Vatican Library, including the travels of Jesus to the monasteries in India and in the mountains of Tibet. Important information has been hidden from everyone in the world for thousands of years, since 364 AD. The closest thing we have to understand is all the excluded words of Jesus from modern-day scripture. It is vital to discover and allow yourself to read the scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt; as well as the Books of Enoch, which Jesus quoted from over 100 times in today’s bibles.

One thing special about the messages given to Pedro Regis by Our Lady of Peace at Anguera was that specific places were mentioned on many occasions. For example; difficult times for Kenya (2594), Great suffering from Karachi (2602), Columbia stumbling and drinking the cup of pain (2602), Kosovo to be in ruins (2605), Naples living the anguish of a prisoner (2614), Cyprus going into suffering ( 2617), Malta shedding tears for its children (2617), Rome losing glory and fame (2622), throne of Peter to fall (2622), screams of help from Bethlehem (4829), messages about Bologna in Italy (4871) etc.

The reason Rome will be losing its glory and fame, and the throne of Peter predicted to fall, is because they have not adhered to all the teachings of Jesus Christ. When you pick and choose, then omit the words you do not wish to follow, then you weaken the message of Christ. All the world can see this.

Believe me, I have picked around a hundred messages only at random from a total of more than 5,075. If I could catch the names of the above places when I rushed through these hundred odd messages, imagine how elaborate are the messages Our Lady gives us.

Details about Pedro Regis and the messages he received from Our Lady are available in apelosurgentes.com.br. While going through the messages, what struck me most was the similarity or rather repetition of the messages Our Lady gave to humankind in La Salette ( 1846), Lourdes (1858), Fathima (1917), Amsterdam (1945), Monte Chiari ( 1947), Garabandhal ( 1961), Akitha ( 1973) and Medjugorje(1981) with those given to Pedro Regis.

Our Lady is the Virgin of the Revelation. She opens the secrets of prophecies for her children. This is to enable them to wage relentless war against the devil and his minions in the end times. That is exactly the reason why the devil is so angry with us. ‘Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus’ ( Rev. 12;17).

Satan – that ancient dragon – knows what is going to happen in the immediate future. He also knows that Mary’s children have got the gift of discernment from the Holy Spirit. It is difficult for him to ensnare them like other gullible and credulous men and women.

That is why we need our Mother’s help now. She will reveal the inner meanings of every signs of the times so that her children are not caught unawares.

SEAT OF WISDOM, PRAY FOR US
