So, from the beginning of 2007 until 2009, taking a break after the beginning of that year, and starting up again in January 2012, I have been blogging,
As my regular readers know, contemporary issues were big in the first two years, with an emphasis on the growth of holiness in the second set of years.
Many other sites which are more famous than my little blog are now taking over themes, as people are waking up.
I really do not have to write about tribulation or persecution, as those issues are now painfully obvious.
I have written all I can write at this time on the way to perfection.
Lately, in my private studies, I have been reading about the overlap of mental illness and healthy spirituality. I am, as you regulars know, reading Father Chad Ripperger's monumental work.
In the past several months, what is obvious to me are these points, which have formed the background of so many posts.
1) People are becoming either better to best, or worse to worst. There is no longer any leisure for the middle ground among Catholic.
2) Many Catholics are bound up by sin and family sins, including curses and habits of sin. Those who are willing to break away and cooperate with the code-breakers will accept the Truth. Others will not.
3) The time of mercy is coming to an end, with the time of great tribulation looming.
4) We are all called to holiness. The remnant will and are responding. I meet saints daily, including three here in this area; true saints.
5) Community is a necessity. Where it does not happen, people will be truly isolated and caught in the midst of great evils
6) Those who are waking up are choosing the "better way" of Mary of Bethany-contemplation.
7) The nations of the world are becoming prisons, interfering with the freedom of travel of many, if not most citizens, either because of war and tensions, or new rules. We are losing freedoms daily.
8) Most priests miss the signs of the times and are not leading the sheep or feeding them as the sheep need.
9) Many people's lives will be changed in the next several months, so that the normal life of Catholicism we have experienced for years in free countries will seem like a happy dream.
10) I am not sure what else I can share, except that we must free the captives of sin NOW through prayer, action, suffering, penance.
Pray for me as I find the new direction to which God is calling me on the blog and off this blog.
