Life is like a pendulum, there are ups and downs. During the ups it seem a never-ending happiness, and during the downs, tears are shed. To me, there were more downs, when I did not have the connection with the Lord.
I would like to share the reflection of Alvin Barcelona of the Kerygma Family, a very inspiring one:
… God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. – Revelation 7: 17
A lot of things that happened to my life only made sense when I found God.
Before, they just seemed to be unexplainable, unwanted and undesirable events.
My parents separated when I was just a kid. I was sick of epilepsy when I was in high school. My father died when he and my mom were about to reconcile. And a host of painful, traumatic events happened one after the other. The heaviest was when I almost died of a possible incurable disease.
Yet, now I always proclaim, “I have a great life!”
I really do.
Because when I found God, my life changed — from seeing only the sad, ugly and painful things to noticing the happy, beautiful and victorious events that were also happening to me. I just didn’t see it until God wiped away my tears.
With God in your life, the tears from your eyes will be tears of hope, peace and joy! Alvin Barcelona (alvinbarcelona@gmail.com)
REFLECTION:
Are you shedding tears of sorrow and pain, anger and bitterness? Let God wipe them away. Today.
Lord God, I offer to You my past. Let me live in the present in Your Presence! And let me be excited about the glorious future You have for me forever. Amen.
When you are down, try to read a story like this to lift you up!

:Don't ignore the signs of the times before it's too late
This is an excerpt from the messages of Vassula Ryden of tlig:
Iceland Volcano, Meteor in USA and Prophecy Update & Explanation
From Vassula:
On the 14th April 2010, the Eyjafjällajokull volcano erupted producing as we all heard an ash cloud. The region around that volcano was evacuated. Some people took videos nearby and one could not see properly a few meters ahead as clouds of ashes were in the atmosphere. Everything was grayish and covered with ash. The economy of the air-traffic was tragic as many plane cancellations were done and millions of dollars were lost daily. Fruits, fish and other products were rotting in the warehouses. Travelers were stranded all over the world.
This particular volcano years back when it erupted it never stopped spitting its ashes for one and a half year. As I’m writing this article, we are still waiting to see when this will come to its end.
However, worse will befall on this earth if people still, like Pharaoh, will ignore the signs of the times and it will be too late.
On the 14th April 2010 a bright ‘star’ was seen in the horizon in the Midwest of the USA. It was spectacular! Many videos were taken and in youtube one can watch them (see links above- editor).
God knew about this meteorite heading close to earth. One should ask ‘why has God given to us in November 28, 2009 a prayer that mentions the ‘star at the horizon?’ I think it was so that if we prayed this prayer, (and we did) it would spare us from disaster. I have learnt with time that God has a measuring rod and that He is a God that listens to bargains. Just like Abraham (an expert of bargaining) and the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. God said to Abraham that He would be ready to spare these two cities even if there were only 10 good people in it; but there were none, except Lot and his family. God measures with his measuring rod everything: He measures our love, our faith, our prayers, our behavior; our sincerity, our compassion for others, our charity, He measures his time of mercy with us; He measures our time for conversion, etc. and what He knows for sure: is that we are not like Abraham who knew how to bargain with Him. That’s a fact. As He knows we are like wet noodles and limp, in our blurred mind we don’t even try to bargain with Him; He even puts the bargaining words in our mouth to say them! This is in the prayer He gave us on the 28th November 2009! Otherwise who says that the meteor was not intended to hit the earth and cover us with ashes if it did? He had put in our mouths the words: “lash not on us Your wrath” twice, otherwise if His wrath was lashed out, “the waters will run dry and nature will wither.” Yes, if that meteor hit the earth that night it would have done this sort of damage. As it said in the prayer, “the flames would turn the earth into a waste.” It could have hit by night anywhere, even any major city like Chicago , in the Midwest United States , as the prayer said, “and ashes will fall as snow in winter covering Your people like ghosts.”
In the prayer that was asked by God, God puts in our incapable mouths the pleas, “take Mercy on us God and do not assess us harshly.” Then, reminding Him of the faithful and those who love Him, to take in consideration at least these ones. This prayer was given to us to use it and bargain with God. We did; this prayer was prayed all over the world as we have prayer groups all over the world. It was a ‘bargaining’ prayer I would say. That’s what God wanted to hear from us, and with this, I believe, He diminished His wrath and in His mercy the impact of such a meteorite. Everything was diminished and the volcano of Iceland started to blast out its ashes in all the European skies paralyzing all aircrafts to fly for over a week. The companies lost millions of dollars a day. People as it was the beginning of holidays were stranded by the thousands, sleeping at airports, taking land transport taking days to reach destinations. It was not a small issue. This week they allowed just a few to fly, but we do not know yet how long this volcano can go on spitting dust and ashes and what will happen.
As I previously said: perhaps too that this was just a small ‘aperitif’ of what can really happen to us, a prelude, if we don’t shape up. The ‘main course’ is for later on. Many people, for sure, around the world are living in apathy and in a spirit of lethargy without God. They have put God in a drawer and made sure they locked it up and swallowed the key. No chance of opening it. Many ecclesiastics are forbidding God to speak to His people as He does now, and advise the faithful not to listen either, forbidding them to attend to meetings of TLIG and thus preventing them from knowing God’s Will. They are not better than Jesus’ disciples in their disbelief. When Christ resurrected and “appeared to the Eleven,” the Bible says, (Lk 16: 14,15) “while they were at table, He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they had refused to believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
What do you think Jesus will do again to their hardened hearts and to their disbelief? Will He congratulate them for their disbelief under the pretext of being prudent: ‘Good, you’ve done so well in keeping my faithful away from listening to Me!” No, He would reproach them, yes indeed, as He did then to His own disciples.
On the 18th February 1993, God is warning us saying:
"The sixth seal is about to be broken and you will all be plunged into darkness and there will be no illumination for the smoke poured up out of the Abyss will be like the smoke from a huge furnace so that the sun and the sky will be darkened by it; and out of My Cup of Justice I will make you resemble snakes; vipers. I will make you crawl on your belly and eat dust in these days of darkness; I will crush you to the ground to remind you that you are not better than vipers... you will suffocate and stifle in your sins; in My anger I will tread you down, trample you in My wrath! (...) When the hour of Darkness comes, I will show you your insides; I will turn your soul inside out and when you will see your soul as black as coal, not only will you experience a distress like never before, but you will beat your breast with agony that your own darkness is far worse than the darkness surrounding you. I will make human life scarcer than ever before; then when My wrath will be appeased, I will set My Throne in each one of you and together with one voice and one heart and one language you will praise Me, the Lamb."
We are given time, once again, to repent before the wrath of God falls on us. In Fatima apparently and in Akita’s messages our Lady was warning us about a Chastisement of fire to come on us if we do not change our heart and truly follow God. God’s wrath will be shown with fire. This will be the Chastisement explained in the True Life in God messages. Why would God, so loving, some people would say, do this to us? The Lord Jesus replied when this question was put to Him by me, “If you die, it is because of your apostasy.” Yes, Apostasy provokes God’s Justice and although He gives us time, one day, Jesus said, the Father will cry out: “Enough!”
This prophecy or warning if you want to call it that way, about the chastisement of fire, cannot be taken away anymore, the Father said, "nothing can be subtracted from it". It is too late to withdraw it entirely, but what we can do is to diminish the power of this scourge by prayer, repentance and change of life to live holy. We are called to lead a True life in God. God can relent, just like He did with Nineveh.
The True Life in God messages are not prophecies of doom and gloom. God gives them to us in these times of mercy to shape us up; they are a call out of the sublime Love of God. God will not allow us forever to offend His Holy Name and live godless. This is the reason why He comes, in His mercy, to give us many warnings.
In Christ,
Vassula

Are you an atheist or an agnostic?
If you are an atheist or an agnostic, please read this reflection from Fr. Steve Tynan,MGL, from beginning to end.
LORD, TO WHOM WILL WE GO?
The question with which Peter responds to Jesus’ own question if they, His apostles, would stay or leave, is one that we would do well to ponder every time we think about abandoning our faith for anything else. It is the most sobering of all questions as the answer is frighteningly stark. If Jesus is not the answer, then God help us, if there is a God. To abandon faith in Christ is really to abandon the understanding that there is a God because if Jesus, the one sent by the Father to redeem humanity, is not worthy of being followed and obeyed, it is impossible to conceive of a better option!
Yes, people reject belief in God all the time these days but I tend to think that a lot of them are rejecting a particular concept of God they have constructed that is not worthy of belief in the first place. To have full knowledge of God, of who He is and what He offers us, and then reject Him, is virtually inconceivable to me. There are people who seem to walk this path as well, but they are very few and their salvation is in grave doubt. It is not a path to be recommended to or by anyone.
Peter’s answer tells us that deep down, he and the other disciples have realized that there is something in their faith in Jesus that has become irrefutable to them and they are willing to stake their lives on it. And they will, as the opportunity for martyrdom arises in all of their lives except John. We capture here something of the essence of faith — that it is a relationship with a living person, God. It is neither an abstract concept nor an optional extra for our lives. Faith is essential to our humanity and until we discover it personally there will always be a type of restlessness within. It is quite easy to see this restlessness within the lives of so-called atheists; how I wish it were just as easy to be able to reveal it to them and show them the solution. Fr. Steve Tynan, MGL
Reflection Question:
What part does faith play in my life? Have I really given over everything I am to my faith response to God or do I still seek to control certain aspects of my life?
Father, You have created us to be in relationship with You and we will be restless until we respond in faith to Your love.
St. Egbert, pray for us.
My eldest son and middle son are an atheist and an agnostic. I pray unceasingly for them, that they may see the light of Jesus before the Lord's second coming.

Vassula write the word aids,
AIDS?
Yes, replace it by the word Justice; 2 My Chalice of Mercy has brimmed over, and My Chalice of Justice is full, do not let It brim over! I have told you before that the world is offending Me, I am a God of Love but I am also known to be a God of Justice; I loathe atheism!
Our sins can be forgiven, ask for mercy.
St. Paul was a Christian persecutor, but he eventually turned his ways and turned to God!
We could be like St. Paul. We might be sinners now, but God is waiting for His prodigal children. Ask for His loving mercy.
Below is a re-production of Tina Matanggihan's Bible reflection on St. Peter & St. Paul at The Kerygma Family.
PETER AND PAUL
St. Paul is considered as one of the Fathers of the Church, next to St. Peter, but they’re very different. While Peter had been with Jesus from the start of His ministry, Paul came after. Peter was devoted to Jesus’ teachings while Paul was dedicated to persecuting Christians. In the end, God worked through Paul and he became a saint.
People can be classified as Peters and Pauls today, too. There are the Peters, who have always been a believer, have always known God, have been trying to be good ever since they were young. These are the people who grew up knowing Jesus early in life, so following Him is the natural thing to do. And then there are the Pauls, who start out knowing Jesus but in a different and a bit negative way. They’re the ones who couldn’t grasp who Jesus was, and in turn either persecute the Peters, or just plain ignore them. But when God reveals Himself to them, they’re just as devoted to Him as the Peters are.
I think that’s why God chose the two saints to be the Fathers of the Church, to show that whatever your background, God works in you and through you.Tina Matanguihan (tina.matanguihan@ gmail.com)
REFLECTION:
Regardless of whether you’re a Peter or a Paul, God loves you just the same.
As I have said before, reforming relying on our own strength is difficult. Ask God's help.

Our Lord Jesus' message through Vassula Ryden on sins
Many indeed ask what sins? sins that I have mentioned and sins of your blasphemy against My Holy Spirit, sins of your rebellion and of your division, sins of perversion that are an abomination in My Eyes, sins of prejudice, sins of contempt, of corruption, of haughtiness, of pride, sins of degradation and of lethargy, the world is polluted with sin; understand now how My Sacred Heart is offended and is in pain; master your thoughts and sin no more; never forget Me, Vassula, and let My people know of My warnings; I am here; ictlig

What have been prophesied have been happening.
..."we are very near the events that have been foretold that are facing humanity and that they are outside our door; events that are drawn by the world’s wickedness, selfishness, lack of love, events that result from the world’s rejection of God’s Word, their spite, hypocrisy, and godlessness."This is the warning of our Lady. Please heed the call of our Lord Jesus!

by Vassula Ryden
April 2010
One of many examples in Scriptures of how God reacts in times of rebellion and apostasy is from Jeremiah 4: 23-28. Jeremiah says:
"I looked to the earth, to see a formless waste; to the heavens, and their light had gone. I looked to the mountains, to see them quaking, and all the heights astir. I looked, to see no man at all, the very birds of heaven had fled. I looked, to see the wooded country a wilderness, all its towns in ruins, at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of His burning anger. Yes, thus speaks Yahweh, "the whole land shall be laid waste, I will make an end of it once for all; at which the earth will go into mourning, and the heavens above grow dark.."God had been warning us unceasingly to return to Him and reconcile with Him and with one another. Christ has been pleading with His church to reconcile and unite. He has been asking the shepherds now for over 25 years in the messages of ‘True Life in God’ to repent and reconcile, bringing forth unity by unifying the dates of Easter. The whole world is decaying in its evil and its apostasy, transgressing not only God's Law, but all that is Holy, unceasingly offending God. Why, then, is anyone surprised when the grace of the Holy Spirit increases in these times of darkness to help us? But Darkness is persecuting the Light once more. Obstacles, persecutions, accusations, mockery, slander, prohibitions and calumnies were pouring out from several people, all these years, as I was trying to testify and pass on to the world the Word of God, making it an extremely difficult mission. Many of these people thought they were doing a holy duty to God...
It is written in Scriptures that: "
In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God." (Jn1:1) "The Word was the true Light that enlightens all men; and He was coming into the world. He was in the world that had its being through him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own domain and His own people did not accept Him."(Jn1:9-11).
Through all these years, Our Lord has tried to awaken a true understanding in all of us by repeatedly giving us reminders: recalling what was said in the past by the holy prophets and His own commandments. His calls, as well as our Blessed Mother's, were calls to repentance, peace, love, unity and a life of prayer. Our Lord came and still comes in this manner into the world to enlighten all those who have gone astray, but to this day very few recognized His graceful presence and fewer still accepted His call. He did not neglect to come first to His own domain, among His own, but flesh in its hardness of heart and incredulity rejected Love once more. To this day, very few are those who accepted Him entirely in His merciful call of repentance, not only diminishing His mercy but rejecting it as well and not allowing Him to reign in their hearts.
The world today has an attitude, just like Pharaoh's, of rejecting, in their stubbornness and disbelief, all that is Holy. Of others, our Lord says their behavior is worse than that of Sodom and Gomorrah.
In the year 1991, 11 September, exactly 10 years before the great disaster of the two towers in the USA, our Lord, looking at the earth with displeasure, warned us in these words:
"
And I, for My part, My Eyes look down at the world of today, searching nation after nation scanning soul after soul for some warmth, for some generosity and for some love but very few enjoy My favor. Very few bother to live a holy life and the days are fleeing and the hours are now counted before the great retribution (...) (Jesus suddenly changed tone and after waiting a few seconds, with a tone very grave that left me in awe said: "The earth will shiver and shake and every evil built into Towers (like the towers of Babel) will collapse into a heap of rubble and be buried in the dust of sin! Above the heavens will shake and the foundations of the earth will rock! The islands, the sea and the continents will be visited by Me unexpectedly with thunder and by flame. Listen to My last words of warning, listen now that there is still time. Read our Messages and stop being scornful or deaf when Heaven speaks (...) Soon, very soon now, the Heavens will open and I shall make you see the Judge."(September 11, 1991)
On the 11th September 2001 the world was scarred with the fall of the two towers, taking away so many lives, among them many innocent people. Horrific apocalyptic scenes were shown to the world, and despite this horror that came upon us, instead of truly turning to God and repenting, the world became worse than before and was set for war. Instead of understanding that this happened because of our own faults, sins, guilt, apostasy and the world's rejection of God, we continued to listen to Satan and go on his way rather than the way God was showing us.
Then, before that, several times Christ again was warning us about the tsunami. The first one is as early as 1987, September 10th:
I wrote in my notebook: "Suddenly Jesus reminded me of a dream I had last night and had forgotten. It was the vision I saw lately, but it appeared worse in my dream". The Lord then said:
"Listen, I have let you see the vision in your sleep, to make you feel it. No, there is no escape!"I wrote: "I remember when I saw it coming like a giant wave. I tried to run and hide, knowing it's impossible." Then I asked our Lord: "But why do this, if you love us? Why?" He answered:
"I am known as a God of Love, as well as a God of Justice." I asked: "What can we do to stop this?" God answered: "tremendous amendments are required now from all of you. Uniting and being one. Loving one another, believing in My Heavenly Works, for I am among you always."The tsunami news shocked and dismayed all of us, but no one can say that God did not send us warnings. When warnings were sent by those He chose as mouthpieces, many were saying: "We have no need of these warnings; we have the consolation of the holy books of the Fathers and the Holy Bible in our possession. We never lack to offer sacrifices and prayers either, so what has Christ to tell us more than what He has given us?" And they shut their ears.
On the 24th December 1991, on the eve of Christ's birth another message was given to us by Christ who was very offended:
"I come today and offer all mankind My Peace, but very few listen. Today I come with peace-terms and a message of Love, but the peace I am offering is blasphemed by the earth, and the Love I am giving them is mocked and jeered in this Eve of My Birth. Mankind is celebrating these days without My Holy Name. My Holy Name has been abolished and they take the day of My Birth as a great holiday of leisure, worshipping idols. Satan has entered into the hearts of My children, finding them weak and asleep. I have warned the world..."(December 24, 1991)Christ is showing us that He is very offended when we celebrate Christmas as a mere holiday without His Holy Name and without remembering the real cause; Christ's Birth.
At Christmas every Christian is asked to celebrate Christ's birth by rejoicing and going to Church and celebrating the Holy Name of our Saviour and Redeemer. Many, in their apostasy, celebrate and worship the Christmas tree instead, exchanging gifts, eating until sick, and amusing themselves to folly.
After that date there were several warnings.
Another warning was given to us on the 18th February 1993:
"See the days are coming when I am going to come by thunder and fire but I will find, to My distress, many of you unaware and in deep sleep! I am sending you creation, messenger after messenger to break through your deafness, but I am weary now of your resistance and your apathy. I am ever so weary of your coldness; I am weary of your arrogance and your inflexibility when it comes to assemble for unity - you filled and overflowed now the Cup of Stupor. Intoxicated by your own voice you have opposed My Voice but it shall not be forever - soon you shall fall for you have opposed My Voice by your voice, misleading nonsense; naturally My Church is in ruin because of your division (...) the earth will shake and like a shooting star will reel from its place, extirpating mountains and islands out of their places. Entire nations will be annihilated; the sky will disappear like a scroll rolling up as you saw it in your vision daughter. A great agony will befall on all the citizens, and woe to the unbeliever! Hear Me: and should men say to you today: "ah, but the Living One will have Mercy upon us, your prophecy is not from God but from your own spirit", tell them: although you are reputed to be alive, you are dead; your incredulity condemns you, because you refused to believe in My time of Mercy and prohibited My Voice to spread through My mouthpieces to warn and save My creatures...(February 18, 1993)According to the scientists, when the earthquake happened under the sea, the whole earth shook, stopped for a split second and went out of its normal axis. The island of Sumatra and other islands too, moved several meters from their original place. One of them was thought to have disappeared altogether, but was then rediscovered in another place.
Then on the 7th February 2002 again a last warning came from God; here is an excerpt:
"My Imperial Reign is at your very doors, but are you ready to receive Me?Our Lord is warning us that, because of our apostasy, we are endangering the cosmos - not only the earth, but the entire cosmos, provoking nature to rebel against us.
With largesse and with royal prodigality I laid out a banquet of spiritual food to revive your spirit; when I was there, waiting for you to feed you by My Own Hand to save you from death, you refused to come forward; considering therefore, your reluctance to a true (repentance) metanoia, and how you have shown hostility instead towards My warnings, what former scenes of wailing took place (on the 11th September 2001) are nothing in comparison to the sorrowful mornings that lie ahead of you; sorrowful mornings that will be drawn by your own hand (...) (you are) endangering not only the earth but the stability as well of the whole cosmos;" (...) I see from above how your designs will turn against yourselves; the world already is tasting the fruits of its own course, provoking to rebel with convulsions, drawing upon yourselves natural catastrophes choking itself with your own scheming.
But this is not all, our Lord is warning us of a still worse events to come if we do not change our hearts and return to God. The Lord says;
"You see daughter, I will soon reveal My Justice too. My Plan has a determined time. My Merciful calls have also a determined time. Once this time is over, I will show everyone, good and evil that My severity is as great as My mercy, that My wrath is as powerful as My forgiveness. All things predicted by Me will pass swiftly now - nothing can be subtracted from them..." (February 19, 1993)Our Lady said that the earth is in danger and will suffer with fire. God’s wrath cannot be sustained any longer and it will fall on them because man refuses to break with sin. That God’s Mercy all of these years were to draw as many as possible to Him, extending His Arm to save them but few only understood and listened. That His time of Mercy will not hold much longer and the time is coming where everybody will be tested and the earth will spew out from within it rivers of fire and the people of the world will understand their worthlessness and their helplessness without having had God in their hearts. God is firm and true to His Word. The time has come where the household of God will be tested and those who refused His Mercy will taste God’s Fire. (I asked here about the people of the Church who persecute us and are blind to His Works of Mercy) Our Lady said that these too will undergo what they deserve.
January 7th, 2008, our Lady woke me up around 3.10 am and made me understand that at this time Christ was being attacked. The message of our Lady was that we are very near the events that have been foretold that are facing humanity and that they are outside our door; events that are drawn by the world’s wickedness, selfishness, lack of love, events that result from the world’s rejection of God’s Word, their spite, hypocrisy, and godlessness.
Our Lady continued to speak about sacrifice. She has asked me to remind everyone that God our Creator asks us to commit ourselves more to Him and that to be converted is not enough without sacrifice and steady prayers; that if one says they are converted and found God through "True Life in God" they should offer more sacrifice as an act of immolation. There are various ways of showing God their love and generosity; that no one can say "we are true life in God people" without offering sacrificial love; that those who truly love God are blessed and should not fear in those days. Our Blessed Mother said that those who persevere through hardships are blessed; that She is pleased with all the priests (the clergy) who share and promote those Works of God (as those of True Life in God and who are open to the Spirit) and should remain confident because they received special graces from the Spirit of God and that through the Spirit they grew stronger in the Lord and to His plan of salvation. That Christ grants them His peace.
If any one serves and immolates himself as an offering, the judgment that is to come by fire will not be so severe upon them for in their spirit they will be enjoying the call of God that brought them to life.
Our Lady said that many have fallen away but many will be raised. Many have failed to keep the Word of God secured in their hearts and transgressed the Word given to them not only through the messages of True Life in God but through the Word given to them in the Scriptures as well. 28th November 2009 the Lord called me and gave me a prayer that I had to distribute, asking us to pray it and ask His mercy. This is what our Lord said: Address Me Vassula in this way:
"Tender Father, lash not Your wrath on this generation, lest they perish altogether; Lash not on Your flock distress and anguish, for the waters will run dry and nature will wither; all will succumb at Your wrath leaving no trace behind them; the heat of Your Breath will put aflame the earth turning it into a waste! From the horizon a star will be seen; the night will be ravaged and ashes will fall as snow in winter, covering Your people like ghosts; take Mercy on us, God, and do not assess us harshly; remember the hearts that rejoice in You and You in them! Remember Your faithful and let not Your Hand fall on us with force, but, rather in Your Mercy lift us and place Your precepts in every heart. Amen"On the 14th March 2010, the Eyjafjällajokull volcano erupted producing as we all heard an ash cloud. The region around that volcano was evacuated. Some people took videos nearby and one could not see properly a few meters ahead as clouds of ashes were in the atmosphere. Everything was grayish and covered with ash. The economy of the air-traffic was tragic as many plane cancellations were done and millions of dollars were lost daily. Fruits, fish and other products were rotting in the warehouses. Travelers were stranded all over the world.
This particular volcano years back when it erupted it never stopped spitting its ashes for one and a half year. As I’m writing this article, we are still waiting to see when this will come to its end.
However, worse will befall on this earth if people still, like Pharaoh, will ignore the signs of the times and it will be too late. On the 18th February 1993, God is warning us saying:
"The sixth seal is about to be broken and you will all be plunged into darkness and there will be no illumination for the smoke poured up out of the Abyss will be like the smoke from a huge furnace so that the sun and the sky will be darkened by it; and out of My Cup of Justice I will make you resemble snakes; vipers. I will make you crawl on your belly and eat dust in these days of darkness; I will crush you to the ground to remind you that you are not better than vipers... you will suffocate and stifle in your sins; in My anger I will tread you down, trample you in My wrath! (...) When the hour of Darkness comes, I will show you your insides; I will turn your soul inside out and when you will see your soul as black as coal, not only will you experience a distress like never before, but you will beat your breast with agony that your own darkness is far worse than the darkness surrounding you. I will make human life scarcer than ever before; then when My wrath will be appeased, I will set My Throne in each one of you and together with one voice and one heart and one language you will praise Me, the Lamb."We are given time, once again, to repent before this prophecy comes on us. Although God says, "nothing can be subtracted from it", we can still diminish the power of this scourge by prayer, repentance and change of life to live holy. We are called to lead a True life in God. God can relent, just like He did with Nineveh.
The True Life in God messages are not prophecies of doom and gloom. God gives them to us in these times of mercy to shape us up; they are a call out of the sublime Love of God. God will not allow us forever to offend His Holy Name and live godless. This is the reason why He comes, in His mercy, to give us many warnings.

Drug & Cameron Douglas
Five years in jail for Michael Douglas's son for selling drugs
Judge handed out the term, which was less than the expected minimum sentence, after a series of heartfelt pleas from members of the Douglas family
Paul Harris in New York
guardian.co.uk
Cameron Douglas, the 31-year-old son of movie star Michael Douglas and the grandson of screen legend Kirk Douglas, was yesterday handed a five-year jail sentence for drug dealing. New York judge Richard Berman handed out the term, which was less than the expected minimum sentence, after a series of heartfelt pleas from members of the Douglas family. Berman said the sentence was Cameron Douglas's "last chance to make it".
His father was in court to watch sentence being passed after details of a letter he wrote to the judge were released to the public. In the five-page handwritten missive, Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar for his role as Gordon Gekko in the film Wall Street, described his son's struggle with addiction and blamed the pressure of living with a celebrity name. As the son of Spartacus star Kirk Douglas, Michael wrote, he was painfully aware of the weight of familial fame. "I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father. I'm not sure I can comprehend it with two generations to deal with," he wrote.
The letter provided a rare glimpse into the private life of a family who have carried a Hollywood A-list name for two generations. In his missive, he blamed his "bad marriage", his parenting skills and his film career for making him an absentee father. That led Cameron Douglas to abuse drugs from an early age. "I don't want to burden you with a litany of my son, Cameron's, rehab history, beginning at 13 … We do know, however, that genes, family and peer pressure are all a strong influence on a substance abuser," the letter said.
In one touching segment, Michael Douglas said that spending time in jail had left Cameron clean of drugs and allowed father and son to connect. "For the past eight months I have cherished my two hours a week in-person conversation with Cameron [at the jail]. He's sober! I get to witness the wonderful young man he can be," he wrote.
Other members of the family also wrote letters of support. His stepmother, British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, praised his behaviour in the family. "What is wrong is wrong, but may all these positive attitudes prevail," she wrote. Kirk Douglas, now 93, said it was his dying wish to see his grandson turn his life around. "I am convinced that Cameron could be a fine actor and a person that cares for others. I hope I can see that happen before I die," he said.
Cameron Douglas, a part-time actor and DJ, had admitted selling cocaine and methamphetamine at a hotel in New York's Meatpacking district. The offence usually carries a minimum of 10 years in jail, unless the judge decides on leniency. Cameron Douglas's lawyers had argued he had only been dealing drugs in order to finance his crippling heroin habit.
In addition to the jail time, Cameron Douglas must also pay a $25,000 fine and do 450 hours' community service. Once out of jail, he also faces a five years in a supervised release programme.
Chemical Drug is addicting, and so is cigarette, and so is lust, and so is food, and so is medicne.
If we are far from God, we cannot do it alone (overpower the addicting lure of the devil on us). I sympathize with people who need the love of their family and the loving mercy of God. CALL on JESUS and you will be reborn!

Meeting our Lord - when?
Some children die at infancy, others during their teen, adulthood or senior years.
What about you, when are you going to meet the Lord? Are you ready? If you're going to review your life, what have you done?
My father is going 88 in December 2010. I asked him the same question and he responded that may be the reason that he is still alive is that he has not grieved other people. His motto: "Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you."
To sum up the Lord's commandment, love God as you love your neighbor.
How do we love God? Attend Church service every Sunday, don't do hard work on this special day, don't harm other people physically and emotionally, don't harm their property. Help other people in times of need.
We do not know when we are leaving this world. It may be today, tomorrow, the next day or weeks or months or years. We have to be ready all the time.
My church mate, Sis. Lulu, passed away in her senior year.
I saw her two days prior to her death and she looked alright.
Below is the story on the passing away of a tobacco godfather,Cuban Alejandro Robaina. Was he ready?
Havana, Cuba (CNN)-- Alejandro Robaina, considered a legend among Cuban tobacco growers, died Saturday, according to Cuban cigar company Habanos S.A., which produced cigars named for him.
Robaina was 91. He was diagnosed with cancer last year and died on his farm in the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio, said Habanos spokesman Jose Antonio Candia.
Robaina's tobacco leaves are considered some of the best in the world. In Cuba, he was called "The Godfather." His deeply wrinkled face smiled out from billboards, T-shirts and boxes of Vegas Robaina cigars, among Cuba's finest. A box of premium Vegas Robaina cigars can fetch more than $500 on the international market.
But the man behind the smile was also a simple country farmer who got up at the crack of dawn every day to survey his fields until cancer slowed him down.
"I wouldn't say I've triumphed, but I've done something with my life," he told CNN in 2008. "The first thing is to love the land, take care of the land."
Robaina's family have farmed tobacco continuously since 1845 on the plantation. Under Robaina, business flourished, and the plantation had some of the best yields in the region, producing highly-prized wrapper leaves used for the outer layer of cigars.
Cigar aficionados around the globe called him the dean of Cuba's cigar industry and every year thousands of visitors made the two-hour trek from Havana, hoping to share a stogie and a glass of rum with "the Don."
Robaina kept his lands even when many ranches were nationalized after the 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro.
"I had a very strong conversation with Fidel 18 or 20 years ago," Robaina said in 2008. "He asked if I would join a big cooperative since I had so many workers, and I told him no.
"For me tobacco growing had to be in the family, done with love. Because in the big cooperatives, everyone's the boss, nobody worries as much as the grower."
Now, almost all of Cuba's tobacco farms are private, according to the Agriculture Ministry. And they generally take their lead from Robaina, planting and harvesting on the same days he did.
"I like to sow during a waxing moon, and harvest in a waning moon," he said.
Robaina said he'd been smoking cigars since he was 10 years old. "When I get really old, I'll stop smoking the strong stuff," he said.
In 1997, Cuba launched the Vegas Robaina brand, named in his honor. They're made from the golden wrapper leaves grown on Robaina's plantation but are rolled in a separate factory.
Like most of Cuba's cigars, they're largely exported. Because of the U.S. trade embargo, however, Cuban cigars are off-limits in America.
Robaina said in 2008 he hoped that policy would end during his lifetime.
"Of course I have hope they'll open up the market," he said. "Cuba's willing to send cigars and they're willing to smoke them. They're going crazy because they can't smoke cigars from here."
Robaina will be buried Sunday, said Candia.

Iceland Volcanic Eruption
The second volcanic eruption in a month's time in Iceland, under ice this time.

Volcanic ash: Your stories of travel disruption
BBC News
Airline passengers are facing massive disruption after an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption in Iceland grounded flights to and from the UK.
Stranded travellers have been sending their stories to BBC News.

Volcanic ash disrupts UK flights
Here are some of your comments:
I was due to travel to Dublin leaving Southampton airport at 0650 (BST). My flight was cancelled along with 90% of the other flights from this airport this morning. I have been placed on the next available flight at approx 1430 this afternoon however there are no guarantees that, that flight will go ahead either!

Currently stuck at Abu Dhabi airport, waiting to fly to Manchester. We have no idea how long we will be here.
James Pickles, UAE
Birmingham airport staff told us "no flights taking off today and probably not tomorrow either". At 0540 Ryanair staff didn't seem to know what to tell us and just suggested I wait. I didn't see the point of hanging around all day so went home.

VOLCANIC ASH CLOUD
The eruption in the Eyjafjallajoekull area is the second to occur in a month
This eruption has released ash to significantly greater heights
Volcanic ash contains tiny particles of rock and even glass, which can wreak havoc with machinery

At Schiphol Airport they are handing out badly photocopied A4 letters to passengers like myself, whose flights (Birmingham in my case) have been cancelled, telling them that cancellations for "extraordinary circumstances such as meteorological conditions" are "exempt of compensation payments".

In this image made available by the Icelandic Coastguard, Wednesday April 14, 2010, smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters.
The eruption is the second in Iceland in less than a month
Was due to fly back to Heathrow today from Shanghai but both Virgin and BA flights have been cancelled as it is expected that Heathrow will be closed this afternoon. Desperately trying to find other ways home as I have to be back in Peterborough by mid-morning Friday. Going to try via Hong Kong, Frankfurt and hopefully Heathrow will be open early tomorrow! All Hong Kong to London flights fully booked!
Mark Hazlehurst, Shanghai, China
I was booked to travel to Iceland tomorrow as a tourist to see the eruption. Looks like it's coming to me!
Alan Simpson, Johnstone, Scotland
We were on a BA flight leaving Los Angeles for Heathrow. We boarded and then 30 minutes later we were told about the situation, and that the flight was delayed indefinitely. We have disembarked and BA have put us up at a hotel at the airport. No eta of rescheduled flight. Many people are really cheesed off about the cancellation - mainly because they feel that we should have never boarded the aircraft.
Janet, Preston
I am in Iceland trying to travel back home today. I think it's going to be a very long day, even if my flight leaves and arrives at Heathrow (it's already over an hour delayed) my onward flight to Edinburgh doesn't look like it will be flying. It's very frustrating.
Florence Kennedy, Edinburgh
We were due to fly from Luton airport to Faro at 0645 this morning. When we arrived at Luton at 0430 departure boards were saying flight cancelled. Monarch finally told us at about 0605 that today's flights were cancelled. We are now back home in north London.
Tony Geoghegan, London
My flights were cancelled this morning. I was due to fly from Frankfurt via Heathrow to Aberdeen. BA call centres in the UK are overstretched, Frankfurt airport called this morning recommending not even attempting to fly to Heathrow due to both possible cancellations of England flights as well as chaotic situations at train stations and other public transport. I am now rebooked for Saturday but they also said as long as the volcano carries on erupting, there is no guarantee that flights will go.
Anni, Aberdeen
I arrived at East Midlands airport this morning for a flight at 0650 to Amsterdam. I was allowed to check my bags in, then five minutes later the notice that the flight was cancelled came up on the display. There was a large queue at the customer services desk and there was a father and daughter behind me who also had their flight to Paris cancelled. The mood of the people was very angry. However, we were offered a free transfer to another flight or a full refund. All in all, these things happen. We don't need another Polish plane disaster and sometimes people forget that safety procedures are there for a reason.
Bryan Duggan, Leek , England
Our flight from Shanghai to Heathrow today was cancelled due to the ash. I am travelling as part of a group of 40 school students from Twickenham. We were not told of the ash until the departure time came and went, but so far BA have dealt with it excellently. As soon as the flight was cancelled the whole group was bussed together to a decent hotel and lunch was laid on. It has made what could have been a very difficult situation for the teachers, with the group splitting up, no food and no money etc, into a very easy extra night organised by BA.
Daniel Kyle, Twickenham, UK
Having experience of the effects of dust upon gas turbine aero-engines, I believe that the hazard has been somewhat overstated. Whilst flying through volcanic dust should be avoided, provided aircraft don't fly directly through the dust cloud there is no reason to suspend flying activity altogether.

Volcanic ash disrupts UK flights
Here are some of your comments:
I was due to travel to Dublin leaving Southampton airport at 0650 (BST). My flight was cancelled along with 90% of the other flights from this airport this morning. I have been placed on the next available flight at approx 1430 this afternoon however there are no guarantees that, that flight will go ahead either!

Currently stuck at Abu Dhabi airport, waiting to fly to Manchester. We have no idea how long we will be here.
James Pickles, UAE
Birmingham airport staff told us "no flights taking off today and probably not tomorrow either". At 0540 Ryanair staff didn't seem to know what to tell us and just suggested I wait. I didn't see the point of hanging around all day so went home.

VOLCANIC ASH CLOUD
The eruption in the Eyjafjallajoekull area is the second to occur in a month
This eruption has released ash to significantly greater heights
Volcanic ash contains tiny particles of rock and even glass, which can wreak havoc with machinery
A 1982 BA flight unknowingly flew into an ash cloud, shutting down all four engines

Been hanging on to BA call centre now for almost two hours. NATS website has crashed.

At Schiphol Airport they are handing out badly photocopied A4 letters to passengers like myself, whose flights (Birmingham in my case) have been cancelled, telling them that cancellations for "extraordinary circumstances such as meteorological conditions" are "exempt of compensation payments".

In this image made available by the Icelandic Coastguard, Wednesday April 14, 2010, smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters.
The eruption is the second in Iceland in less than a month
Was due to fly back to Heathrow today from Shanghai but both Virgin and BA flights have been cancelled as it is expected that Heathrow will be closed this afternoon. Desperately trying to find other ways home as I have to be back in Peterborough by mid-morning Friday. Going to try via Hong Kong, Frankfurt and hopefully Heathrow will be open early tomorrow! All Hong Kong to London flights fully booked!
Mark Hazlehurst, Shanghai, China
I was booked to travel to Iceland tomorrow as a tourist to see the eruption. Looks like it's coming to me!
Alan Simpson, Johnstone, Scotland
We were on a BA flight leaving Los Angeles for Heathrow. We boarded and then 30 minutes later we were told about the situation, and that the flight was delayed indefinitely. We have disembarked and BA have put us up at a hotel at the airport. No eta of rescheduled flight. Many people are really cheesed off about the cancellation - mainly because they feel that we should have never boarded the aircraft.
Janet, Preston
I am in Iceland trying to travel back home today. I think it's going to be a very long day, even if my flight leaves and arrives at Heathrow (it's already over an hour delayed) my onward flight to Edinburgh doesn't look like it will be flying. It's very frustrating.
Florence Kennedy, Edinburgh
We were due to fly from Luton airport to Faro at 0645 this morning. When we arrived at Luton at 0430 departure boards were saying flight cancelled. Monarch finally told us at about 0605 that today's flights were cancelled. We are now back home in north London.
Tony Geoghegan, London
My flights were cancelled this morning. I was due to fly from Frankfurt via Heathrow to Aberdeen. BA call centres in the UK are overstretched, Frankfurt airport called this morning recommending not even attempting to fly to Heathrow due to both possible cancellations of England flights as well as chaotic situations at train stations and other public transport. I am now rebooked for Saturday but they also said as long as the volcano carries on erupting, there is no guarantee that flights will go.
Anni, Aberdeen
I arrived at East Midlands airport this morning for a flight at 0650 to Amsterdam. I was allowed to check my bags in, then five minutes later the notice that the flight was cancelled came up on the display. There was a large queue at the customer services desk and there was a father and daughter behind me who also had their flight to Paris cancelled. The mood of the people was very angry. However, we were offered a free transfer to another flight or a full refund. All in all, these things happen. We don't need another Polish plane disaster and sometimes people forget that safety procedures are there for a reason.
Bryan Duggan, Leek , England
Our flight from Shanghai to Heathrow today was cancelled due to the ash. I am travelling as part of a group of 40 school students from Twickenham. We were not told of the ash until the departure time came and went, but so far BA have dealt with it excellently. As soon as the flight was cancelled the whole group was bussed together to a decent hotel and lunch was laid on. It has made what could have been a very difficult situation for the teachers, with the group splitting up, no food and no money etc, into a very easy extra night organised by BA.

Having experience of the effects of dust upon gas turbine aero-engines, I believe that the hazard has been somewhat overstated. Whilst flying through volcanic dust should be avoided, provided aircraft don't fly directly through the dust cloud there is no reason to suspend flying activity altogether.

"Modus operandi", Philippines
Not only is disaster around, but evil people are around to traumatize us.
I got this message and I'd like to share it with everybody so that you would be wary of this operation.

Dear all,
I cannot stop myself from sharing this with all of you.
Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from
Maxis and he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place.
As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone.
After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce
his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from
my family members and the others were from the number that had called me
earlier - 3954380.
I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me
whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from
someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for money to let me
free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud
asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for
money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a
police report.
Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my
cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep
calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police
report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams
reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred
the money! And it is impossible to get back the money.
Be careful as this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!! Those guys
are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut
down your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your
family or friends might receive the same call.
Be Safe and Stay Alert!
Please pass around to your family and friends!
If we solely depend on ourselves for protection, these people can overcome us. There is no greater protector than God. You only have to ask! Pray harder!!!

Another urgent message of the Lord
Disaster is around us, the latest of which is the Solomon Islands and Spain quakes. Let's heed the call of the Lord.
Here's another message of the Lord to Vassula Ryden of tlig.org released only recently.
Urgent Message Given Shortly After the Prayer
December 14, 2009
Vassula writes:
This past Saturday here in Rhodes we have our prayer meeting. Not everyone was present that day but some only. Towards the end we took up the prayer of the 28th November and we all prayed it. After that we took the Greek bible (that was brand new) and I opened it. My finger went on Ezekiel ch. 7, verses 1-14. While reading it we all felt that it was like we were reading again the prayer! A continuation. When I opened the English bible so that I read it (as my Greek is not that perfect) I had a book mark just there. What we understood from this is that the Lord was trying to emphasize the seriousness and urgency of His previous message which is the prayer. After the prayer we opened the TLIG messages to read. Also there, Christ was emphasizing our prayer. I opened on September 13, 2002 and my eyes fell on the following passage: "O Judgement Day! when My Son will shine above in the sky!" until the end.
The next day on Sunday, as I sat at Church, after 5 minutes or so, I heard the Lord call me and speak to me. My worry was that I would not remember to write what He said. Our Lady in the end said just a few words. But, our Lord made me understand that I do not have to worry because He will remind me when I will write His words, in fact He will lead my hand again. So this is what Jesus Christ said yesterday and today, Monday 14 December His Words were written.
Testify my child on My behalf and in My Name, and speak and tell this generation:
do not listen anymore to false prophets who keep stroking you with caresses telling you that all is well and that you have improved when you, at the same time who call yourself a Christian do not behave like one, for you hardly act on My Words in the Gospel; for I tell you, if your virtue in being a Christian goes no deeper than the godless ones, My Father, not recognizing Me in you will never allow you to enter in Our Kingdom! My Father's wrath will unleash on you; have you not learnt that My severity is as great as My Mercy? You who sell yourself to your surrounding as a good Christian, giving them this false image of Christianity, when you are just the opposite, you will be uncovered and your sin as well; and you, you whose tongue never stopped judging unjustly, your sin will recoil on your own head; My anger rages against your sort and I will judge you for your conduct as it deserves;
you who cannot forgive and forget as I forgive and forget, My Father too will hold that sin against you! Yahweh is near, coming with all speed, so tell Me, where will you hide? To lead a sinful life is to belong to the devil; you have learnt in which manner you will be judged when you are unwilling to reconcile with the one you still hold a grudge against him; I tell you, this sin of unwillingness to come to terms with the one you hold responsible, will be bitterly paid by you till the last penny; have I not said: you must love your neighbour as yourself and even more that you must learn to love your enemies? Well, what have My Eyes been witnessing? I have been witnessing a meager lot who truly follow My ways, but the majority are in sin and doing Satan's work; do not deceive yourselves, for in these coming days you are bound for destruction because you are not following My Word ; if anyone refuses to this day to obey My principles My Father too will refuse him an abode in heaven; and you who have taken My Name , yet act in violence, anger and pride, that same scourge your sharp tongue used on your brothers, you will receive likewise and your sin will condemn you; and you who still sleep in your apathy and lethargy do not think that I have not noticed you, you will be ranked among the pagans and you will be reaping what you have sown;
as for the apostates, they will taste the fire of hell! My Father's wrath is lit up with this evil and pervert generation; how can I hold back His Arm furthermore from lashing on you? Turn back from your evil ways was Our constant theme, but good and bad have been refusing to abandon their ways of life; the good for not taking My Words seriously in these messages and acting on them, the bad for refusing to be saved, refusing My Mercy, refusing My Hand; tell Me what will you do when you realize that Day that you are mere clay and that clay without My Presence within you, you are nothing but dust?
disaster is just around the corner and the foliage will turn dry; amend all of you your conduct and actions, let not destruction overtake you; take the right course and stop your abominations and your perversions; set your heart on Me your Lord, if not you will crumble down in ashes like a burnt city;
now, even if I distressed you, even for a mere moment, it was out of the greatness of the love I have for you; I want to lead you to repentance and save you; I want lips that are clean to invoke My Holy Name, especially in these days where My Holy Name will be profaned and mean nothing to many while they celebrate My birth without honour and praise; repent all of you and focus on Me; and pray that this generation's guilt will not be the cause of your destruction; otherwise the Father's wrath will lead Him to cry out: Enough! And His fiery rage will cover many nations and the world will disintegrate; happy the man who listens to Me now and purifies himself; I will support him;
I am Jesus Christ and am the Author of these Messages and I am known to govern you with lenience; I am known to flower you if you are willing and if need I water you with My Tears; I am known as the Good Shepherd who never abandons His sheep; I lead you into green pastures, but when treaties are broken, witnesses that I am sending despised and rejected, could I keep silent? When I know you are heading to a fatal destruction, would I not react? On that Day of the Father's wrath those who had forgotten Me, will remember Me; and they will be treated accordingly;
Many indeed ask what sins? sins that I have mentioned and sins of your blasphemy against My Holy Spirit, sins of your rebellion and of your division, sins of perversion that are an abomination in My Eyes, sins of prejudice, sins of contempt, of corruption, of haughtiness, of pride, sins of degradation and of lethargy, the world is polluted with sin; understand now how My Sacred Heart is offended and is in pain; master your thoughts and sin no more; never forget Me, Vassula, and let My people know of My warnings; I am here; ic

Follow and write down all that My Son has given you, never fear;

Urgent Prayer Given on 24th Anniversary of TLIG
November 28, 2009
I was asked by our Lord to give this message I received today (24th anniversary of TLIG) to everyone so that it is translated. This is not all the message, it's much longer, but I was asked to give just this prayer to translate as well and distribute.
Address Me Vassula in this way:
Tender Father, lash not Your wrath on this generation, lest they perish altogether;
Lash not on Your flock distress and anguish,
for the waters will run dry and nature will wither;
all will succumb at Your wrath leaving no trace behind them;
The heat of Your Breath will put aflame the earth turning it into a waste!
From the horizon a star will be seen;
The night will be ravaged and ashes
will fall as snow in winter,
covering Your people like ghosts;
Take Mercy on us, God,
and do not assess us harshly;
Remember the hearts that rejoice
in You and You in them!
Remember Your faithful and
let not Your Hand fall on us with force,
But, rather in Your Mercy lift us
and place Your precepts in every heart.
Amen

Disasters , Diseases, Terrorism, Despair, Mother Mary's message
Disaster happened all over the world, earthquake, tsunami, wildfire, mine cave-in, hurricane collapsing houses because of faulty foundation, floods brought by rain, the volume of which is good for one month, but it rained continuously in one day (like Ondoy.
Deadly diseases caused by virus or bacteria, are coming out with no cure yet. Ten per cent of the cause of death of the population is the invading microbes. However,
what is tragic is 90 per cent is caused by free radicals coming from the food that we eat, pollution, unhealthy lifestyle (excessive drinking, smoking, stress, lack of rest and sleep, no exercise).
Terrorism, an attack to God's people and property, has not stopped.
In all the above , some people are despairing, which at times, lead them to taking of one's God-given life!
The second coming of the Lord is imminent. Look at the signs.
Below is the message of our Lady through Vassula Ryden on January 7, 2008.
Message of Our Lady
January 7, 2008
Last night at 3.10 am our Lady kept me awake until 4.00 am to give me a message for all of us. Our Lady made me understand that at this time Christ is being attacked more than any hour. Our Blessed Mother spoke to me from 3.30 am until 4.00 am. I was not asked to get up and write it immediately and I was concerned I would forget what She was saying to me but She said that She would remind me when I would write it and send it to you to broadcast it. This is what the message was:
The first part of the message concerned me personally and the rest was for the public. The first part of Her message to me was a reassurance and a consolation. Our Lady told me that She is always by my side especially in these difficult times where Satan is lashing out his anger on me and to the whole world. That God is ever so near me and loves me and that heaven is not blind to the difficulties and the pains of fire that I am going through, but that God needs these immolations and sacrifices; that God is faithful to His Word and that She would be happy to hear me praying more consistently the Rosary... then She said, "be recollected in your prayers..."
The second part of the message is the following:
That we are very near the events that have been foretold that are facing humanity and that they are outside our door; events that are drawn by the world's wickedness, selfishness, lack of love, events that result from the world's rejection of God's Word, their spite, hypocrisy, and godlessness. The earth is in danger and will suffer with fire. God's wrath cannot be sustained any longer and it will fall on them because man refuses to brake with sin. That God's Mercy all of these years were to draw as many as possible to Him, extending His Arm to save them but few only understood and listened. That His time of Mercy will not hold much longer and the time is coming where everybody will be tested and the earth will spew out from within it rivers of fire and the people of the world will understand their worthlessness and their helplessness without having had God in their hearts. God is firm and true to His Word. The time has come where the household of God will be tested and those who refused His Mercy will taste God's Fire. (I asked here about the people of the Church who persecute us and are blind to His Works of Mercy) Our Lady said that these too will undergo what they deserve.
Our Lady continued to speak about sacrifice. She has asked me to remind everyone that God our Creator asks us to commit ourselves more to Him and that to be converted is not enough without sacrifice and steady prayers; that if one says he or she was converted and found God through "True Life in God" they should offer more sacrifice as an act of immolation. There are various ways of showing God their love and generosity; that no one can say "we are true life in God people" without offering sacrificial love; that those who truly love God are blessed and should not fear in those days. Our Blessed Mother said that those who persevere through hardships are blessed; that She is pleased with all the priests (the clergy) who share and promote those Works of God (as those of True Life in God and who are open to the Spirit) and should remain confident because they received special graces from the Spirit of God and that through the Spirit they grew stronger in the Lord and to His plans of salvation. That Christ grants them His peace.
If any one serves and immolates himself as an offering, the judgment that is to come by fire will not be so severe upon them for in their spirit they will be enjoying the call of God that brought them to life.
Many have fallen away but many will be raised. Many have failed to keep the Word of God secured in their hearts and transgressed the Word given to them not only through the messages of True Life in God but through the Word given to them in the Scriptures as well.
Then Our Lady said: "Vassula, whosoever judges you, they too will be judged severely by God. Continue to look forward in receiving the Word of God in your ear and be happy, my child, your Mother will never abandon you". (Then our Blessed Mother reminded me of the vision I had when I saw my spiritual wedding with Christ when I was very young then and how She had received me joyfully with smiles to arrange my wedding dress by pulling here and there and fixing my hair to be in perfect shape and appearance to for her Son, Jesus Christ.) "Speak fearlessly and do not fear those who oppose you. The Lord and I bless you, and we grant you peace and love."
This is all. Please meditate and read it carefully.

She has asked me to remind everyone that God our Creator asks us to commit ourselves more to Him and that to be converted is not enough without sacrifice and steady prayers; that if one says he or she was converted and found God through "True Life in God" they should offer more sacrifice as an act of immolation. There are various ways of showing God their love and generosity; that no one can say "we are true life in God people" without offering sacrificial love; that those who truly love God are blessed and should not fear in those days. Our Blessed Mother said that those who persevere through hardships are blessed; that She is pleased with all the priests (the clergy) who share and promote those Works of God (as those of True Life in God and who are open to the Spirit) and should remain confident because they received special graces from the Spirit of God and that through the Spirit they grew stronger in the Lord and to His plans of salvation. That Christ grants them His peace.
If any one serves and immolates himself as an offering, the judgment that is to come by fire will not be so severe upon them for in their spirit they will be enjoying the call of God that brought them to life.
Many have fallen away but many will be raised. Many have failed to keep the Word of God secured in their hearts and transgressed the Word given to them not only through the messages of True Life in God but through the Word given to them in the Scriptures as well.
Then Our Lady said: "Vassula, whosoever judges you, they too will be judged severely by God. Continue to look forward in receiving the Word of God in your ear and be happy, my child, your Mother will never abandon you". (Then our Blessed Mother reminded me of the vision I had when I saw my spiritual wedding with Christ when I was very young then and how She had received me joyfully with smiles to arrange my wedding dress by pulling here and there and fixing my hair to be in perfect shape and appearance to for her Son, Jesus Christ.) "Speak fearlessly and do not fear those who oppose you. The Lord and I bless you, and we grant you peace and love."
This is all. Please meditate and read it carefully.

"7 things Yo' Momma never told you about church history"
Friday, April 2, 2010 3:54:47
From: Perry Marshall
This Saturday morning April 3 I'm giving a
workshop called "7 things yo' momma never told you
about church history" in Oak Park Illinois and
you're invited to come. 9:30am-12:30pm.
I'll select 7 huge "anchor points" - 7 monumental
ideas and events that changed civilization. You'll
see with new clarity how the world has been
transformed in a positive way:
1. What ancient people really believed about the
earth, science and astronomy (this one's a big
surprise - it's NOT what you've been told!)
2. Why Jesus is the most written-about, most
argued about person in history... and why the
stories we have now can in fact be trusted
3. Faith and Science in 1200 AD, 1700 AD, and
2000
4. The true story behind those "extra" books the
Catholics stuck in the middle of the Bible, the
Most Powerful Bible Verse they never taught you in
Sunday School
5. The #1 idea in the American constitution came
from the Bible. Trace the history of the world's
most dangerous idea
6. How we got the Bible we read today - a list
of urban legends, and the truth of what actually
happened
7. The printing press, the protestant
reformation and the evolution of technology
Whether you agree or disagree... regardless of
your perspective... we will discuss, examine and
THINK. All points of view are considered and all
are invited to attend. Bring a friend if ya want.
Cost: Free
Date: Saturday April 3
Time: 9:30-12:30pm
