Even if you're not Catholic, this is an interesting perspective and the coincidences are worth acknowledging. In any case, I'd say it's a good idea to pray this week for your own protection and for the safety of our country and for the good of the world.
Interesting timing. I was just thinking about this the other day, and then last night this short popped up in my YouTube feed. The actor who played Barabbas in The Passion of the Christ described seeing Jesus when working with Jim Caviezel during the filming of the movie and, when he looked into Jim's eyes, he saw nothing but mercy and love from Jesus. It was so moving that he converted to Catholicism. It made me reflect on how Jesus never looked at anyone with hate, even those who tormented and killed him. If Jesus ever got angry with anyone, it was those who were corrupt and prideful, but he didn't hate them. Here's the short: https://youtube.com/shorts/_t0y1u9cMs0?si=3DB0XqbwDLmkL1eO
I think we all need to reflect on this from time to time. It's easy to hate our enemies, but that's not what Jesus said to do, and it's what Satan wants. How we can accomplish loving our enemies on our worst days, I'm not sure. Sometimes all we can do is pray for the other side, and for all of us, to see the light.
This is a good reminder as I'm about to do some spring cleaning today and tomorrow. The average household cleaner is full of dozens of chemicals we trust the government to approve for safety. It's no wonder so many pets are getting cancer when their paws and mouths are by the floors constantly.
We need a return to the natural.
More needs to be said about this subject. I don't think that the average American realizes how insidious this issue is. Never in the history of mankind has "mental health" been discussed more, and yet actual mental and spiritual health are worse than ever. And kids are taught in the schools to obsess about it. If they're having a bad day, they make excuses about anxiety and panic disorders to get out of the work they need to do. If they're feeling down, it's always depression. If something upsets them, it's triggering their "trauma." There is a formally named disorder for nearly EVERYTHING now, and kids talk about their diagnoses like we used to talk about our hobbies. The constant focus on mental health has weakened two, maybe three, entire generations of Westerners. Teenagers are never taught to be strong anymore because that would be "insensitive" and "traumatic." Resilience is never discussed unless it comes in the form of a pill or a therapist's couch. In my opinion, it's demonic, and it's all part of the grand scheme.
The left has been taking advantage of our Christian compassion and tolerance for decades, as well as the inherent and relative compassion of European people (and those of European heritage). But enough is enough. We are called to be loving and compassionate to others, but not to tolerate evil. Pray for your enemies that their hearts will change, but don't let them destroy your entire civilization and everything good in it.
It's the strangest thing to me how many white liberals slobber over Muslims and can never get enough of bowing to them and their demands. The very people who would kill liberals and their way of life if they had the chance, the last people in the world who would ever support or even tolerate a gay or a tranny. But they're mostly brown and poor, and they're anti-Christian, so the left worships them. It's an illness.
The university system is another pillar of corrupted Western society that will crumble soon. Soon, no one will donate to them and many will no longer send their children to be indoctrinated in them. It's already happening. I encourage all of the teenagers I teach to go to trade schools and learn a real skill. If you want to learn an academic subject, there are dozens of courses available online that are as good or better than what you can learn at a local university. Let these institutions die.
I haven't had any direct messages, but I've had the feeling that some nefarious plans are happening around this eclipse. There's something happening and it isn't good. It may just be the rituals they are planning for that day to start this time of darkness. And it feels very, very dark to me. Possibly an unleashing of demons? I would stay home on April 8 if I had the option, but unfortunately I'll be at work that day. I'm not planning on acknowledging it at all and just going directly home after work. I think it may be a good day to say some extra prayers in the morning and to make the sign of the cross over yourself during the eclipse.
One of my coworkers is flying to the town in Texas where there's supposed to be the best possible view of the eclipse. It's the last thing I'd want to do right now.
Yep, still waiting on the kill shot. But I listened to Art Bell religiously and have never forgotten when Dames described the moment war would cease as everyone looked to the sky. I am looking forward to it. When Q says biblical, I expect it to be BIG.
