“Saint John Paul II had told us we are living in a Culture of Death,” many years ago, and since then I’ve grown more aware and able to see it’s serpentine grip all around with intensity; sure there is still much good, but, less and less all of the time as that remnant of goodness is being smothered more and more daily; we’ve been seeing how the so called cancel culture is at work, of which this is an example of such nefarious plotting and diabolical design. The ways of the crooked world are not planning life; on the contrary they are seeking to cancel it all. That is the Mandate by the Prince of this world, that beast and most evil one; Satan. I’ve seen far too many people up close and personal including myself and even online that are way too caught up in themselves and superficiality or ego stroking nonsense. They think likes or attention by others online is a sign of value and importance or that they are loved and appreciated. Nothing could be farther from the truth than such poppycock. People are becoming deluded eccentric fools that aren’t in touch with reality or real living and substantive “doing,” as in making a real difference; say the way Mother Teresa did. They think being in the limelight of a group of similar concentric minded people is really accomplishing something when it’s nothing. Lost is the right word, and, the blind leading the blind; daily talking about inconsequential thoughts and opinions that have no bearing on what they “really need to be doing” with their time left on this earth! Any of us can stop living here at any moment and what will be the sum total of those lives that meandered around and fantasized online or used it as a tool to gain acceptance and even money by likes! It’s called wasting one’s life and time. Prime targets for these despots AKA NWO, that are now placing themselves above the fray to control them all like so many barn yard animals.
Wash your robes and do something that’s really worthy of praise; being of “value to God!” The “Culture of Death” is something we have all now become a part of! You must resist its influence while not desiring to be a part of this world, which is growing in its crookedness and deceptions; and is falling away!
Every Mass could be your last on earth. Between today and the next Mass, it may become impossible to ever go to Mass again. We simply cannot take it for granted any longer.
Every sacramental Communion could be your Viaticum. You might not survive to receive Holy Communion again. Remember this possibility. Be conscious of it.
As war is upon us, we must live with death present in our minds, “keep death daily before our eyes” as St. Benedict put it.
Pray the Fourth Glorious Mystery of the Rosary, the Assumption of Our Lady into heaven, and remember its fruit: the grace of a happy, holy, provided death. If you stay in a state of Grace and contemplate each reception of the Eucharist as possibly your Viaticum, then even in the chaos of war, a good, holy death can be possible.

“His Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò” is so painfully aware of the TRUTH and sees clearly all of the impending danger that’s heading toward a global catastrophe the likes of which this world has never seen. This is all very confusing and frightening to most people. But, in the Archbishops own words came the answer that will be the saving grace along with the President of the United States Donald J. Trump which these following words tell us will be the power and glory from God to suppress and defeat this enemy from hell who has deceived many key individuals and massive numbers of minions to implement this plan of diabolical plan of global conquest and control of all the people like they’re nothing more than herd animals;
“The leveling inhumanity of the globalist project will shatter miserably in the face of the firm and courageous opposition of the children of Light.”
Yes there is about to be a rising up by the true freedom fighters and patriots of America as Almighty God in the name of Jesus is speaking directly to His children of light, those individuals who love God the Father though Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior to whom they dedicate their lives to stand in the ready to serve Him and do the Fathers will. This Republic under God was formed by men who were touched by God and in their time they left nations of tyranny and monarchical totalitarian control a world where the masses were treated like subservient nobodies and even subhuman minions of their masters like a form of slavery. I insert a link to an article I wrote many months ago now that spoke to this point and these Founders who faced an arduous task of standing up for what was right and they knew what was right because they were men of faith in God the Almighty the same God you and I speak about, the Judaeo-Christian God and through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior they believed in the plan of redemption, so they took that stand in a new land apart from the tyrants and said no more, and, we are free now standing for life, liberty and justice for all men so we are forming a new Nation under God who will guide and secure it that it may prosper for the people; as they soon would have their Declaration of Independence, for the United States of America a Nation of the People, by the People and for the People! This is why America rose up to be the greatest nation on earth and has done more good for the human cause and freedom than any other.
I would like to add that just over the past weeks I’ve seen how Hillary Clinton an obviously diabolical human keeps ranting about how she was born to be the President and whether it is her or some hidden yet not vocal person that the Left has in mind to rule this Nation if the full blown opportunity arises to topple the government institution as we know it and replace it with more than a lock-down but with absolute tyranny; we at least can be sure whomever it would be is demonically possessed and I can think of a few other likely individuals that might be.
Are we foolish enough to believe that a person who is seeking to be so close to the presidency such as Kamala Harris with her ancestry is some Godsend when literally she is tailor made ancestral lineage for this type of tyrannical world we speak of. https://lawrencemorra.com/2020/08/13/the-total-fraud-candidate-kamala/
Back in March I knew then we were not going to see a simple resolution to what was coming and this was the real deal as they say in terms of it being the time to stand up and be counted.
I’m ready to be counted and will die for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so that I will be with the Father in heaven for eternity if it will come to that!
Brother in Christ Jesus,

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
DONALD J. TRUMP
Sunday, October 25, 2020
Solemnity of Christ the King
Mr. President,
Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America. I am writing to you in the midst of the silence of both civil and religious authorities. May you accept these words of mine as the “voice of one crying out in…

Thank you Crow,
What a beautiful and so comprehensive overview of what the true meaning and history of Halloween is with its twists and turns over time of being influenced by various cultures and customs that overlapped or borrowed certain aspects of the holiday. For me what centers on the true beauty of its importance is this “properly to be attended by a reverence for the dead and for life, for the souls and for mortality, all the time accompanied by a joy that flows from the knowledge that our dearest ones are close to us and that death has been vanquished by the Risen Christ.” I love that aspect of the celebration which is to give reverence to our departed loved ones while reflecting on our memories with them as indeed all the saints and martyrs as well, all having gone on to be judged before God and Jesus in the presence of the Holy Ghost and by the redemption by Christ Jesus a New Everlasting Life begins and that our loved ones in so much as we have faith in Jesus Christ and our salvation to eternal life through Him that our loved ones who have passed may surely through our prayers have been given forgiveness for their sins and be in heaven where we hope in our hearts to someday be with them when our time comes to pass on. I think making this sort of timeline or connecting of dots between the here and now with the hereafter as a progression of beauty is a good thing for all ages and it to me shows life and death as always connected for we here in the material world, and one does obviously lead into the other. On this holiday spending some quality time with family members and praying for our departed loved ones and each other as we live our lives in the present is a good faith building tool as I see it, and shouldn’t be put down at all. It’s when over commercialization and concocting of the celebration occurs that it becomes jaded or poisoned in its intent and purpose! Thank you for expanding my horizons about Halloween and I already love the celebration more as this richer understanding helps me to feel close to all those I loved while they were here and have moved on to death and eternity with God the Father I pray and hope through Jesus Christ and feel their love as I know they must through the Father in heaven know I love them.
Happy and a Blessed All Saints Day Halloween to all! 🙏✝️🙏😇❤️

As Catholics we are faced with a question, especially those with young children. Do we engage with Halowe’en, and, if so, on what terms? Do we reject the festivities as a pagan ceremony? Or do we submit to celebrating it in a half-way accommodation by dressing the children as saints, thereby endeavouring to sanctify a festival that is, in the most part, commercialized and empty of meaning?
It may be that the answer is not completely binary and resides in a rediscovery and a reapplication of the traditional Catholic roots of Hallowe’en – that Catholics revisit and recognise Hallowe’en as a Catholic festival which has been appropriated and…

Once I read that corporations are like demons and sort of agreed with that concept but passed it off being too busy to delve into that idea at the time to find out if there was substantial truth to that statement. Now after more life experience and observation of many related truths happening right before our eyes I see how that idea is rock solid when we just look at Big Pharma and what it actually has become with its constant bombardment on TV and elsewhere of non-stop promotions for one drug or another to alleviate this ache or pain, and, look how we now have an opioid crisis with people dying left and right in countless numbers from addition, with so many families ruined because of these individuals becoming overwhelmed by these habit forming narcotics. Many other drugs that people are brainwashed into using daily have very serious side effects over time that ruin health and not the other way around; then requiring still additional drugs being taken in the daily regimen that further damage the body and or mind. While this is happening many of these individuals lose capabilities and interests, even falling out of touch with family, but, more devastating than even that, some lose their faith. I see this simply as Big Pharma are nothing but one of the biggest money making rackets on the planet, and, now even a better tool to defeat the masses or countries from within, not requiring any hostile takeover such as armed conflict and war.
Indeed this COVID 19 Pandemic with subsequent lock-downs and altering of societal behavior to conform to new controls on a global scale, the New World Order is precisely what I’m speaking about here! Big Pharma are Big Drug Pushers, and, most if not all the behind the scenes individuals running it are part of a huge network or as I see it a “manufacturing/distribution organized crime syndicate”getting away with highway robbery and murder on a global scale. Demons we wonder; sure they look like demons by what they do to human life, and, to me they are certainly “an antichrist entity out to subdue, control, ruin and destroy countless lives and ultimately souls.” With this type of culture at work around the planet with absolutely, secularism running rampant, promoting and being facilitated by Big Tech now every second of every day on a massive scale not promoting, God or anything to do with Him, but, rather “faith in technology” as God, and Government coupled with High Tech being our true savior, a narrative that’s saying the ways of the world and man himself are the only thing this side of heaven that can help us and do us any good!
So then, what do you think would be the mission of such earthly power in the hands of the few, those with the controlling influence, like these Tech Giant CEO’s and communist regime leaders, who are to me some of the most vile atheist antichrist minions calling themselves human progressives, but, are not; like a Bill Gates the Microsoft giant or Jack Dorsey CEO of Twitter who have no problem promoting wicked political figures like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
along with their support network while shooting down any conservative like our President Trump with any of his supporters every chance they get and in so doing this certainly proves to me they are absolutely antichrist earthly minions working not for our good, but, for the bottom line, and not just the corporate one but for the Devil’s “bottom-line” and his plan to devour all the souls he can; which goal we can see he has a leg up on Big-Time, now that Big Tech is the most useful device that it’s become to influence and control; along with nonreligious mindsets fused with using pharmaceuticals daily making for the coming of a planet of walking dead zombies out of more and more humans; daily! Walking Dead, not just like in Sci-Fi, humans with no minds, but, most important and tragic, no love or faith in God anymore, dead in “Christ Jesus; the only true answer that there ever was or will be to save any human being’s soul from eternal damnation!”
Now hoards of humans are flocking to this new God and signing on doing and even becoming what it preaches to them! Like BLM or ANTIFA mobs backed by Corporations, acting like stupid, destructive, heartless, soulless morons carrying out missions of defiant, rebellious destruction and mayhem for their master! Folks look around its simple to see we are on the precipice and the human race is heading-to-hell-in-a-hand-basket faster than we can say lickety-split! So many individuals are now poisoned by this false culture’s venom of lies, or clever deceptions, and, won’t even listen to anything about God and Jesus, “just plain outright atheists that are perfect to play into the hands of monster, demonic, totalitarian, atheistic government machines like the CCP” that tells the small numbers of Christians within the population of billions in China, to give up Jesus and God, or you don’t eat or get any housing anymore. And, of course we know that is just the tip of the iceberg, because hidden there in that totalitarian country are the many cases were individuals are rounded up and never seen again; snuffed out for what they believe in or say.
Folks we are facing a rapid decline of humanity into an abyss of sin! And, human abortion, was and still is the “canary in the mine-shaft” warning, but, not enough people listened or cared to stop that movement dead in its tracks, so now, we see the consequences of not paying heed to a blatant in your face warning, such as “the annihilation or snuffing-out of purely innocent almost perfect beings, the unborn humans,” like they are just excess tissue to be disposed of! That in fact is what Planned Parenthood had told and I’m sure still tells many females who are deciding to abort. I’m positive God is so done with this mess on the one hand, and, the human race in general terms! He would have ended this whole God forsaken mess already if it wasn’t for people like you and me that do not give into this evil that’s circling in all around us, but, instead proclaim the name of Jesus Christ daily, “denouncing all of these sins and atrocities,” calling them out for what they are, always willing to pray and do the Lord’s will to the very end.
Like the Saints and Martyrs have done throughout the ages and still do; I think of Joan of Arc as she was being burned alive crying out “Jesus” and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that she committed her heart to “Jesus Christ” all the way to the very painful end! She became a stark message and proclamation of what is happening in this fallen wicked world; serving to tell us all to take care and go the right way! This one example of which there are so many more throughout time proves to me on its face that God is real, and, Jesus Christ was and is who He claimed to be, so there is no contest here; you either turn to Him God Almighty in the name of and through His Son Jesus Christ; and plan on joining Them in heaven for eternity, or you can have the consequence of being doomed to the eternal pits of hell. This is the only reason God the Almighty hasn’t snuffed out this whole God forsaken mess yet, because of course there are still many of us worth saving here that He won’t give up on! And so like the one lost lamb that the Good Shepherd went searching for and found, bringing it back home into the fold; that is what our loving Jesus is doing now, gathering us up to be brought home before it’s too late when at that time the demons will close in with the Devil to devour all those that didn’t want to be bothered and preferred being zombies!

Psalm 133 A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, upon the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life for evermore. biblegateway.com Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
Commentary for Psalms 133 The excellency of brotherly love.
“We cannot say too much, it were well if enough could be said, to persuade people to live together in peace. It is good for us, for our honour and comfort; and brings constant delight to those who live in unity. The pleasantness of this is likened to the holy anointing oil. This is the fruit of the Spirit, the proof of our union with Christ, and adorns his gospel. It is profitable as well as pleasing; it brings blessings numerous as the drops of dew. It cools the scorching heat of men’s passions, as the dews cool the air and refresh the earth. It moistens the heart, and makes it fit to receive the good seed of the word, and to make it fruitful. See the proof of the excellency of brotherly love: where brethren dwell together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing. God commands the blessing; man can but beg a blessing. Believers that live in love and peace, shall have the God of love and peace with them now, and they shall shortly be with him forever, in the world of endless love and peace. May all who love the Lord forbear and forgive one another, as God, for Christ’s sake, hath forgiven them.”

When an Oct. 14New York Poststoryfeaturingpotentially damaging claimsagainst Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was suppressed by Twitter and Facebook, questions of Big Tech censorship were propelled into the national conversation.
For some voters, it may have been the first time such concerns were considered. But for religious conservatives who use social media as a place to share their views and convictions, theNew York Postincident was merely a high-profile reinforcement of a truth experienced on a regular basis: Big Tech companies wield unprecedented control over public discourse and have a tendency to censor viewpoints not shared by the…

Justice Clarence Thomas administers the official Constitutional Oath to Barrett at White House
The United States Senate has officially confirmed Judge Amy Coney Barrett as a U.S. Supreme Court justice in a 52-48 vote, despite pushback from Democrats who fought to stop the Republican-led upper chamber from moving forward with President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ahead of Election Day.
Every GOP senator voted for Barrett’s confirmation except Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), who joined Democrats in arguing that the nomination of a new justice should be made by whomever wins the presidential election on Nov. 3.
What are the details?
Ahead of the actual vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), declared from the floor that “today…will go down as one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate.”
He went on to warn Republicans, “You may win this vote… But you will never, ever, get your credibility back. And the next time the American people give Democrats a majority in this chamber, you will have forfeited your right to tell us how to run that majority.”
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) gave a history of what has occurred in recent decades in the confirmation of justices, and explained to the chamber in his speech following Schumer’s: “The reason we were able to do what we did in 2016, 2018 and 2020 was because we had the majority.”
Vice President Mike Pence had originally been expected to preside over Barrett’s confirmation vote in the Senate, but those plans were changed after several of Pence’s close aides recently tested positive for COVID-19. As The Hill pointed out ahead of the vote, 52 Senate Republicans were “expected to vote for Barrett, which means the vice president” was not needed to break a 50-50 tie. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) served as Senate president during the proceedings.
The Associated Press reported that Justice Clarence Thomas administered the Constitutional Oath to Barrett, 48, before a crowd of about 200 on the South Lawn at the White House.
Fox News noted that “Thomas has long been considered one of the more conservative justices on the Court, along with Barrett’s mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia.”
Shortly after the vote occurred, the Supreme Court sent out a news release announcing that Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the Judicial Oath to Barrett in a private ceremony in a conference room in the court building on Tuesday, and that a formal ceremony will take place in the actual courtroom at a later date.
According to The New York Times, Justice Barrett “could start work” at the Supreme Court as early as Tuesday, once she has taken her oaths.
Roll Call reported that Barrett’s confirmation “boost[s] the long-running advantage for justices appointed by Republican presidents from 5-4 to 6-3, which [means] the liberal wing would have to pick up at least two votes from the conservative wing to find any victories in cases on ideologically divisive issues.”

“What was right will be wrong and what was wrong will be right!”
From an article I read about the risks and damaging health consequences associated with continually wearing masks which are doing more harm than good by restricting proper unencumbered breathing; resulting in a flooding of the body with one’s own expelled CO2, which is in many cases leading to hypoxia or even actual irreversible brain damage. What follows is what I see as strikingly imperative and inspired words that are pointing to the obvious; yet much of which is being ignored, even in the face of so much darkness and evil that’s rising up all around us.
Excellent truthful article which clearly defines the great risk and danger that government officials, so called health experts and agencies like the WHO have caused for massive populations around the globe. I think it’s a sin what’s happened because of some extremely nefarious greedy human beings by their actions or misinformation campaign which has been a global atrocity like the world has never seen. This fact to me indicates clearly that the human race has entered into a countdown one way or the other because nothing will be the same again like the old normal or get back to how things were. Back in March through my own deductive logic, prayer and research I saw the writing on the wall and knew we had powerful influential puppeteers if you will, at work setting the stage for population control and then much more sinister plans to follow. I wrote several articles and some information I came upon I’d like to share; with just this one in particular article from April, with special attention being given to what Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi mentioned toward the end of the piece, for what he had to say about the pandemic and the China Wuhan Corona Virus with subsequent lock-downs. And here gauging from what this highly regarded Virologist in Israel says, Professor Jihad Bishara the director of the Infectious Disease Unit at Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital, has stated that this Wuhan Virus or COVID-19 is not as bad as the common flu which is much more highly adaptable and intelligent than this current one that has the world going into lock-down mode, which is way over the top as a preventative measure. Remember, the Dems live and act like heathen self-serving godless people so with hardly any conscience to speak of they have no qualms with generating panic or hysteria if it will enhance their own bottom line which is always a corrupted one! People who become pathological liars do so because they have told so many lies they must continue to lie in order to cover the fact of their previous lies and not be found out.
“Oh, what atangledwebweweave, whenfirstwepractice todeceive!” (Sir Walter Scott, 1808).
Here are a few highlights of what the Professor had to say to The Times of Israel.
“I’ve been in this business for 30 years,” Bishara said in a Channel 12 interview. “I’ve been through MERS, SARS, Ebola, the first Gulf war and the second, and I don’t recall anything like this. There’s unnecessary, exaggerated panic. We have to calm people down.”
“People think this virus is going to attack them all, and then they’re all going to die,’ says Prof. Jihad Bishara. ‘Not at all. In fact, most of those infected won’t even know it”
“People are thinking that there’s a kind of virus, it’s in the air, it’s going to attack every one of us, and whoever is attacked is going to die,” he said.
“That’s not the way it is at all. It’s not in the air. Not everyone [who is infected] dies; most of them will get better and won’t even know they were sick, or will have a bit of mucus.”
“But in Israel and around the world, “everybody is whipping everybody else up into panic — the leaders, via the media, and the wider public — who then in turn start to stress out the leaders. We’ve entered some kind of vicious cycle.”
“He urged the public to internalize that “we’re talking about a virus that is not airborne. Infection is via droplet transmission… Only if you are close to someone who has the virus, and you get the saliva when he sneezes or coughs, can you get ill. And if you don’t then maintain personal hygiene,” primarily by washing hands.”
“He said the virus did not appear to be “too intelligent” — unlike flu, “which is very intelligent, it changes, adapts, and it infects people via their airway passages.”
“Bishara said some of the harsh steps taken in Israel — which has essentially closed its borders, limited gatherings to no more than 10 people, closed all educational facilities, and shut down malls, restaurants and places of entertainment and culture — were motivated by the leaders’ acknowledged awareness that the Israeli health system will buckle under any further strain.”
“People can die from the coronavirus just like people die every year from the flu and other respiratory illnesses but that doesn’t mean everyone who gets it will die. As a matter of fact, most people will recover and move on with their lives just fine.”
“The mass panic and shutting down of society is truly way over done. It boggles the mind.”
“Awaken to the Truth”
Again please keep in mind my correlating many science fiction stories or movies with this overall situation in my article, “The Invaders; the Seen and Unseen”I did because I always had an extensive background in films coupled with career pursuits along with my particular interest in the Sci-fi genre and could see the sinister methods of diabolical type characters in these stories about alien beings as more akin to demonic entities and how some of the nefarious humans I mention are very much behaving in similar sinister calculated ways, as well the pathogenic microbial invaders that wreak all of this havoc upon we humans. I never got to the point of wearing masks frequently but was approached in a few retail stores and said due to health issues I’m exempt, but, that can be problematic if they want to be hard about it. In one bank they called police; so strange how in the past anyone in a bank with face covering would have been a suspected robber, but now they want masked bandits walking around! The CEO of the bank later apologized and said there’s been so much overreaction on both sides of the fence and some customers have been extremely belligerent, so thusly some managers get nervous and don’t want the customers who are the worrying kind about the virus, to be put off by an unmasked customer so often just call police. Funny though, I was the only customer in this very small quiet branch at the time. I had been a customer for decades along with having a few different accounts and investments with them, but, hadn’t been there in two years, and, didn’t know anyone on duty. Later I was thinking of removing all my of my accounts, but, then it all calmed down after this conversation I had with the officials of the bank; they even wrote me a letter and sent a small gift! I told the CEO what I now tell any management anywhere, that I bring a kerchief when in business establishments and prefer to not have any restrictions on my breathing at all; but if they insist I will wear this one item loosely on my face which seems to work well for me and does satisfy their temporary policy. Thank you for addressing this issue! https://lawrencemorra.com/2020/04/28/satans-venom-from-the-evil-snake-and-serpent-from-hell-that-even-tempted-jesus-in-the-garden-of-gethsemane/
The old saying; “A family that prays together stays together.” Here we see; The family that does crime together; lies together!
In a subsequent response to this same situation I had the following to say which cuts to the chase of what I’m hoping will be the greatest takeaway.
I’m more than happy to offer anything I can of value to shed light on the current situation. I tend to go on and certainly am known as a man of many words, but, I would rather be guilty of saying too much in this most unprecedented time than to be mute or brush it off. This is a crisis like no other and it will only get worse! Look how the evil in our own federal government where some officials who are guilty of numerous felonies already, fight tooth and claw ruining a nation in the process of attempting to hide their crimes; so arrogantly willing to breach all ethics, principles and the law to cover-up their iniquities! Look how they are so determined to prevent this most gracious brilliant Justice Amy Coney Barrett who certainly stands for the highest moral standards with integrity; from being appointed as a new SCOTUS Justice.
I say all of them are so afraid of justice and will do anything in their reach to prevent it, but, it’s hopeless for such guilt laden individuals to escape God’s judgment, so all they do is futile which only serves in further self-incriminating and condemning, resulting in their convicting themselves with their own tongues and actions. And just like you said, “Now you, without a mask, were treated like the bandit of old. Times have changed, and, not for the better.” Yes, a good person gets treated like a scoundrel, and, a great Justice is being belittled or shamed because of her “FAITH in GOD!” Times have changed drastically for the worst! Time to prepare for judgment; Do Not Tarry!
“What was right will be wrong and what was wrong will be right!” Timothy 2 3 states, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, (despisers of those that are good,)
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
Who with their faculties and wits about them cannot see this is precisely how it is now, in this present time, with this rebellious generation; like no other time?
He gave to all freely who will believe in Him as their only hope of salvation from all iniquity; He is our Lord, Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ!
“If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23,
Jesus doesn’t say to us seek a life of selfish comfort and ease but He instead calls us to a battle, to face all adversities of this life and material world that is so heavily influenced by the Devil. He says clearly to us to give up our own plans and to follow Him without reserve or any discount; even to death.
Apostle Paul reminded us, “Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.” Philippians 3:7-8
Salvation by faith means commitment and trust and saying I commit my life to Jesus Christ and trust Him alone as my Savior and Lord.
“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my “brothers,” you did it to me.” (Matthew 25:40
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Amen.

Just in case you have time or find any of these interesting relating to this overall topic.
These are the words of a madman as I see this current imposter in the Vatican, talking the camouflaged language of the NWO; one world order totalitarian rule. Preface to accomplishing the ultimate goal of ushering in the antichrist and enslavement of the human race. We need only keep in mind this is the man that has no problem with being in lockstep with the CCP atheist monsters agenda of global dominance and control. These are the same people and false Pope who have been working closely with the criminal politician fake Catholic Joe Biden who advocates full term day of delivery abortion and same sex marriage while he’s lived the life of a political racketeer for decades now, and, who Jorge Mario Begoglio AKA Pope Francis endorsed as the best person to be the president of the United States! The collusion and plan is so obvious and blatantly evil. Obviously they’re getting their marching orders from the same source!
God help us we are in the most provocative and precarious of times ever! Hell itself has opened its gates wide to pull all of humanity down into it!Industrialized full global scale abortion is by itself an obvious sign in our collective face that humanity is teetering on the brink of annihilation!Full term, day of delivery murder of innocent human beings is being advocated even by our leaders like the evil Joe Biden who this false Pope advocates for! Do you get my meaning!

Kathleen… thank you for this very detailed explanation about the visitations of the Blessed Mother Mary! There is so much to learn from my perspective not being knowledgeable enough about these events outside of the Fatima appearance to the three children. But I still feel in my heart that the “Blessed Mother is no doubt a most precious “advocate and messenger” for our heavenly Father. I see her intersessions as being at the apex of what angels have performed as heavenly messengers throughout history by the sheer importance of who she is in God’s heavenly kingdom family, but, also because she had been an earthly human being and the mother of Christ Jesus which sets her apart and “above all the angels.” She is truly a most beautiful being who loves humanity and only wants what our Father in heaven wants, thus she is in the ready to serve Him at any time. So who better than her to be the “most blessed mother messenger advocate” for God’s Children on earth! To me it’s a no brainer as the saying goes, so obvious, that yes even a child’s mind can fully relate to it and appreciate this “gift from God our Father in heaven; all because of the birth of Jesus our Savior having occurred in the first place,” “The Immaculate Conception,” of “Mary; who is Most Blessed among All women, as the only means by which Jesus was to come into this world to provide the redemption for our eternal salvation.” Thanks be to God! Amen. It is very comforting knowing that until the “Second Coming” happens we have Mother Mary the most direct link between Jesus and the Father with humanity being there for us, bringing God’s love and directives where and when He the Father sees fit. This truth along with her uniquely special position in God’s kingdom to advocate for us who are still living in this fallen world of sin and vast corruption! I know from firsthand experience that she can and has made a world of difference in helping us; I know she brought me closer to Jesus and the Father, inspiring more faith in my heart, and, just like a great mother she feels sadness and sorrow when we are in such dire need of heavenly protection! I love her, and I’m so grateful for her love and kindness to me and anyone that she pleas to the Father to help and protect. Amen. Brother in Christ Jesus, Lawrence Morra III
Tradition tells us that Saint James the Greater, brother of Saint John, had a great devotion for the Virgin Mary, who in turn favoured him with her special protection.
Mary of Agreda, a 17th-century Spanish nun and mystic, recounts two interventions of the Virgin Mary supporting the apostle in his mission of evangelizing Spain: – The first time was in Granada, where a pagan mob attacked Saint James as soon as he arrived, killing one of the twelve disciples travelling with him who had tried to protect him. Saint James and his disciples went on preaching nonetheless. Then the townspeople seized them, put them in chains, and led them out of the city to kill them. They were about to cut their throats, when James called on the help of Jesus and His Blessed Mother to save them. Our Lord ordered a thousand angels to go with His mother (who was still on earth at the time) to assist the apostle. The angels immediately took Mary to Spain. Seeing the Virgin Mary, the apostle prostrated himself as best he could before Her, for he was still chained up in bonds. She said to him: “James, my son, faithful servant, courage! Rise up and be free.” His chains and those of his disciples were immediately broken. The pagans, still holding their knives aloft, fell to the ground where they remained for some hours without any sign of life.
The second time was in Zaragoza where the Virgin of the Pillar is venerated. James was resting with his disciples on the banks of the Ebro River. A procession of angels was heard from afar. The men were all surprised and delighted at this sight. The angels carried a small marble column and a statue of the Blessed Virgin. Then Mary said to James: “James, be blessed and filled with joy!”—to which the angels replied “Amen.”—And: “My son James, God has chosen this place to build me a shrine. I promise great favour and protection to all those who come here to praise God and pray with faith and devotion. As a guarantee of this promise, my statue will be placed on this pillar and it will remain there, along with the faith, until the end of the world. Start building it as soon as possible, and when you it is completed, you will leave for Jerusalem, where my Son wants you to offer Him the sacrifice of your life at the place where He gave His.”Saint James bowed down. The angels celebrated with him the inauguration of this first shrine, which became the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, a place of many miracles, including the famous “Calanda miracle” in which a man miraculously recovered his amputated leg.
The Virgin of the Pillar is celebrated on 12th October as a National feast day for Spain and all Hispanics with great parades and solemnity.

What is Inconceivable or Incomprehensible to the Human Mind
“God is Matter Not of This Realm”
by Lawrence Morra
Thank you Father George W. Rutler and Catholicism Pure and Simple…
This writing is quite beautifully profound and inspiring giving us such wisdom with insight! It stimulated my heart and imagination to try and explain something I pondered a while ago and haven’t shared but with a few others. To what is inconceivable or incomprehensible to the human mind as we are told in Holy Scriptures about God; how then would the mere eye perceive that absolute reality with its physical limitations; and truth be known to understand matter not of this realm? As comprehended in my mind one late evening as best I could, what is God like to behold, and actually be in His Holy Absolute presence? Then as I was becoming sleepy and drifting off into unconsciousness I heard a strong male voice declare to me that, “God is matter not of this realm!” Surely I thought an angel delivered from God a fraction of the truth that was boggling my mind, and from my science knowledge, I gain an insight that God IS; He is truly more real and tangible than this fleeting present state or existence is to us; more than complete and apart from the actual present tense; yet infinite and physically present in the now simultaneously; He is the Alpha and the Omegathe Beginning and the End, there is nothing that exceeds God or that is more than God in any way shape or form and even our wildest imagination, because He is complete and full of all that IS and belongs to the Greatest of All things or Anything that can be conceived Now and Forever! But, yet I also know from all of this that if this is what my mere imperfect mind can fathom about God, I have also experienced in this life what I know about God and His word to us more vividly and beyond my capability to explain what He IS by knowing Him in my (heart); here is where I feel His presence and know Him like my best friend or companion that words cannot explain or describe well enough, other than to say I know His love and it is beyond powerful; it is my reason and will for living!I love you so much Lord God and I’m so sorry for my inadequacies and would do much more if I were able to, but, that is yet to come, while I must remain in this state for my allotted time to eventually join You there in Your heavenly eternal kingdom where all will be understood as I join You as a child of the Light and Love of our Creator God the Almighty, in Jesus Christ, You as His Son in the flesh and presence of men, I know this in my heart to be the Absolute Truth. Amen.
Child of God and Brother in Christ Jesus,

Post Script: Please take the time to read this additional article.
Of the many scientific contributions made by priests, including Father Copernicus’s heliocentrism and Father Lemaître’s “Big Bang” theory, some would rank higher the invention of champagne by DomPérignon. Something close to it had already been invented by monks near Carcassonne in the Abbey of Saint Hilaire in 1531. They were Benedictines like Pérignon, but he replaced wooden stoppers with corks and developed thicker glass bottles that enabled the production, a century or so later, of what we now call champagne.
When Dom Pérignon first tasted what he had done to Pinot Noir in 1693, he shouted: “Come my brothers, I am tasting the stars!” Stretching that a bit, it is a good description of the Christian encountering Christ. It is more than Archimedes shouting “Eureka!” when he discovered a principle of hydraulics, because it is an embrace of eternity. So Saint Peter…

“Seek and You Will Find; Climbing to the Light of Hope”
by Lawrence Morra
God’s Mercy is Beyond All Earthly Imagination
We gain a glimpse of that Mercy by Jesus Christ on His Cross!
Oh God yes; so beautiful and true! It’s so easy to get caught up in the frenzy or actually the turmoil of the wayward fallen world. As it is always so easy to make a mistake but much more difficult to correct or undo the wrong. The cost or consequence of our loss is like a heavy weight or anchor tugging and holding us back from climbing up out of the deep crevasse into which we have slipped, leaving us surrounded by so much challenge and harsh reality of our plight, but thankfully with the constant light and ray of hope above us toward which all of our greatest effort should be applied in a heroic climb to that only place of absolute truth and happiness which we have fallen from; our rightful place and home. We should be driven in our hearts to return there where all love awaits us. Amen.
I must mention here what added tremendous and remarkable inspiration that came my way as I was preparing to reblog this profound article by one of the Blog Site’s authors.
Oh my God; Kathleen… what a wonderful experience and pilgrimage that must have been to actually be involved and present in a blessed and holy event such as this! You are truly blessed to have been there and your faithful participation with all the others brings blessings and graces to so many! Thank you for being so strong in your faith and determined to follow the Lord’s will as you did and are doing now; you give me courage and show me how much more I can and must do! Pope Benedict XVI did a tremendous service for our Father in heaven and for humanity in carrying out his mission the beatification of Cdl. John Henry Newman.
So beautiful and empowering to all who will turn to our Lord in faith with hope and joy in their hearts. Thank you very much for this inspiring comment and the sharing of your blessed actual involvement in this beatification of Cdl. John Henry Newman and his ultimate sainthood. I was just in the process of preparing to reblog this amazing article of yours and this comment suddenly appeared from you! I was going through some old files looking for this specific one that I’m referring to here so that I can incorporate this highly significant story about another saint that I truly love and admire for her unbelievable devotion and beauty of heart! It has tremendous significance in my own life because of something that occurred in recent years, a personal turmoil, when on October 19th some years back I was attacked by evil which brought into focus some highly important facts and history that God obviously wanted me to be focused upon in my journey, which changed my course in a dramatic way in order to awaken me more clearly and profoundly to His will. She is as I see it associated not only with this time of the year and the major events that brought about the instituting of “North American Martyr Day” and how my severe experience also occurred on this precise day of October 19th and then a little while after that, my meeting a local Native American woman of the Catholic faith by divine intervention, who bears the same name of Kateri whom I’m speaking about here.
I put this all together and as a reblog hopefully it will serve the purpose that our Lord wants it to.
Now I briefly outline what I see as highly important connections and parallels between this article about our beloved Saint John Henry Newman and two other saints. The first I’ve mentioned above in that brief bio and now I turn to the other, “St. Isaac Jogues, S.J. (10 January 1607 – 18 October 1646) was a missionary and martyr who traveled and worked among the Iroquois, Huron, and other Native populations in North America. He was the first European to name Lake George, calling it Lac du Saint Sacrement (Lake of the Blessed Sacrament). In 1646, Jogues was martyred by the Mohawk at their village of Ossernenon, north of the Mohawk River.
These two remarkable saints I had not been aware of until a fateful event occurred in my own life that immediately brought them into my consciousness. A consecrated woman of the Catholic Church that I met a short time after my fateful day, where she was doing some temporary work, pointed all of this out to me when she became aware of the date I was attacked! I have touched on this personal experience in previous writings but here I just want to mention my own ordeal only to promote worthy attention to these two saints who to me bring to the fore “The North American Martyrs and Saints” who show us by their devotional faith in Jesus Christ along with their personal sacrifice and offering of their entire lives; as a great illustration of what Saint John Henry Newman has pointed out by such great devotion to the will of God during his time on earth we can see by his own example, which was also how these other saints were able to overcome what I mentioned at the start; “so much challenge and harsh reality of our plight,” when we can plainly see from the historical record, and, what Saint John Henry Newman repeats in his most profoundly beautiful realization and recognition; by our Savior’s words from His own mouth on the cross at Calvary,“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Saint Newman brings to our attention the reality of how dire the circumstance and consequence of our human plight is, but, how powerful the saving grace and MERCY of our Lord and Father in heaven actually is by saying this to all of us!
“O Lord, we urge Thee by Thy own dear words, “Lord and Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Teach them now, open their eyes here, before the future comes; give them faith in what they must see hereafter, if they will not believe in it here. Give them full and saving faith here; destroy their dreadful delusions, and give them to drink of that living water, which whoso hath shall not thirst again.” Amen.
So, now I say to all who hear and listen to our Lord’s merciful words from the cross that Saint Newman is precisely correct and by example in the same manner we see from these historical figures of great faith, how their steadfast perseverance of “FAITH” is what makes the difference and overcomes all difficulties or hardships this life or the devil himself may toss upon any of us; that we are able to overcome, there is no doubt about it!

Amendment Supplement
Dear Kathleen…I woke very early today doing what I do many times on such occasions asking God to help me see more clearly what I’m missing or perhaps what I should have done a better job with. On this occasion it was specifically about this blog and how yesterday I had to finish what I could and then return to it so I can finalize what I had started to say. Thankfully we can edit these works and so today I add this following script to the reblog. Thank you again for being so faithful to our Lord and having the dedication along with the key “perseverance” to do the work you do. Again I say, it’s an inspiration for me. God bless you.
Saint Kateri’s Shrine
Skennon ko:wa
This is an old Mohawk blessing. Pronounced She:kon (Say go) Skennon ko:wa (Skennin go wah), it means Hello, Great Peace be with you!
The River where Kateri was Baptized and spent much of her life and the exact location where Jogues, Jean de Brébeuf, “St. Isaac Jogues,” along with six other missionaries were martyred is what is now called the St. Lawrence River in New York into which their bludgeoned bodies were tossed. For me an interesting connection is how Kateri was canonized in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI and 2012 was the beginning of my personal journey or struggle with the aftermath of the attack/injury of October 19, 2011 on North American Martyr Day, and how a great American doctor a truly blessed instrument of God was there to help me at the beginning of 2012 during my fall through many years of having to fight the ensuing illness and the system for my own survival, even having to be my own attorney for my subsequent workers rights; I’m absolutely positive to serve God’s purpose and plan. And how she with her husband after my recovery moved to Canada within a short distance of this region where much of Saint Kateri’s life unfolded so long ago. The doctor was only there within my area like an angel, an instrument of God’s, when I most needed her to be; which meant the world to my recover and successful perseverance, over all obstacles! Even the simple fact that one of the authors of this Blog Site Kathleen was attending the blessed occasion and beatification of Cdl. John Henry Newman to his ultimate sainthood and as she stated “From my mother’s house in Kent (south east England) a bus load of parishioners had travelled overnight to Birmingham. It was miserable weather, drizzling with nonstop rain, and as we’d had to be there in Cotton Park hours before Pope Benedict XVI arrived, we were all pretty soaked through by the time the shout went out that he was arriving. As soon as the popemobile appeared the clouds cleared, seemingly miraculously, and the late summer sun shone down upon us. Yes, Pope Benedict gave a very moving homily at the beatification Mass; he said he had always been a great admirer of the erudite cardinal’s writings and charitable works.” These connections are ordained by God.
To me these many connections are all ordained and absolutely parts to the big plan as our Father in heaven divinely intervenes and allows many events or circumstances to unfold in order that His will can be done or carried out by His faithful! I can see how Saint Kateri suffered with a continuous physical affliction from the aftermath of having contracted and surviving the smallpox epidemic of her time; and how I after this attack/injury had struggled with a very difficult aftermath and now even a physical manifestation I deal with all shows me clearly that “perseverance” is the key to our time on earth and to never quit or allow the harsh realities to get in the way of our mission, which is to Love and Serve our Father in Heaven! If we do that to the best of our abilities then there is nothing to fear or be sad about at all, because just like beautiful Saint Kateri said with her last dying words, “There are reports of her appearing to three different individuals in the weeks following her death. In one instance, Kateri appeared kneeling and holding a wooden cross that shone like the sun. In another, a knock on the wall awakened a sleeping woman. She heard Kateri’s voice asking if she was awake and then Kateri said,“I’ve come to say goodbye; I’m on my way to heaven.”“Witness’s say that minutes after her death, Kateri’s scars disappeared and she became radiant and beautiful.” ncregister.com
Another site explains well her passing:
“It was during Holy Week of 1680, that Kateri’s health was failing. She performed extreme mortifications of the body, and offered it up. Soon the people around her knew she had only a few hours left, so the villagers gathered together, accompanied by the Priest to provide last rites. She died on Wednesday of Holy Week, April 17, 1680 around 3pm at the age of 23 or 24. She died in the arms of her friend Maria-Therese. Her final words were “Jesus, I love you”.
“The people around her noticed a physical change to her body. About 15 minutes after her death, her face that was so marked and scared by smallpox from her childhood, suddenly changed and became in a moment “so beautiful and white”. Three people, her mentor – her companion – and her Priest, all reported that Kateri had appeared to them in the weeks after her death. Her stepmother reported that she appeared “kneeling at the foot of her mattress, holding a wooden cross that shone like the sun”. Her companion Maria-Therese reported that she was awakened at night by a knocking on her wall, and a voice asked if she were awake, adding, “I’ve come to say good by, I’m on my way to heaven”. She was asked to go and tell the Priest she was on her way to Heaven. The Priest reported seeing Kateri at her grave, he said, “She appeared in splendor, for two hours. He gazed upon her, and her face lifted toward heaven as if in ecstasy”.
People argue and fight each other claiming superiority or some special privileges over one another since the dawn of the human race, but, in actuality we are all part of the Greatest Story Ever Told and the Master Potter’s Plan. We should be humbled and ask, “What can I do for you Lord today; how can I better serve You and not the folly or foolishness of this conflicted confused world of sin which is fallen from on high?”
Lawrence Morra
This link will bring you to a site where a very good accounting can be found that will I’m sure allow you a glimpse into the actual life and times of Saint Kateri.
Like grace, faith is difficult to understand because it is not easily imagined. In this meditation, Saint John Henry Newman draws a picture of faith in the image of a man in darkness: “Faith is the first step towards salvation…It is a divine light; by it we are brought out of darkness into sunshine; by it, instead of groping, we are able to see our way towards heaven.” Without this light, we would never begin on the path to God.
Yet, there is a sense in which God is searching for us on this path, for it is He who gives us this light, which is why God is called the author of our faith according to Newman. He is also the finisher and perfecter – Newman explains that this is why the man who already had faith asked Jesus to “help Thou my unbelief” (Mark…
