The Battles Are Waging; The War Is At Its Height. Believers Are Called to Be Wary and Faithful Could this truly be a time when we will have some great symbolic, spiritual, "message" that will be so clear, so obvious and so shattering that it will rip the veil of darkness and cause a great epiphany to occur in the hearts and minds of non-believers and cynics worldwide? Think on this:
The world is so troubled now - the unrest, dissention, criminal, and immoral behavior are at a pinnacle. Our emotions are racing over events that cause even the most logical of persons to search for answers, and question the reason for the suffering and extreme ugliness that we have been observing in the past few months. Even those who understand that there is a tremendous battle being fought on the spiritual level between good and evil find it constantly challenging to hold onto complete faith in God's power over such strong forces that are now at hand.
The target of the strongest fight is the most holy of the land - our dear, loving, Holy Father, Pope John Paul III. Our strongest and most constant prayers are needed not for ourselves but for all of God’s strength and all of God's blessings be directed to him so that he can avenge the enemy who is longing to celebrate his demise. Without the presence and guidance of this holiest of men, evil will burst into an even more frightening rampage. There will be fights among even the holy men in the Vatican for power. There will truly be a turmoil in the Church, and gleeful laughter from the darkest souls and immoral spirits who will celebrate the world's loss of God's most powerful representative.
*************Terri Schiavo is caught in this battle because she is an easy earthly target and through her husband, whose soul has become one with the demon, evil has created a worldwide conflict that has caused an extreme chiasm between people of faith and non-faithful alike. When Terri passes those who will be the most sorrowful will be weak and be easily swayed to disbelieve in and question God's power and goodness. There will be many who will turn against God if Terri is not saved; and there will be the non-believers who will gleefully point at what they claim is a fallacy: that God is all powerful. They will stand ready to collect newly fallen souls into their ranks.
Terri's fight is a prime, planned event of the devil's most devious, deceitful, design. It is not a coincidence that these two people are suffering together while the whole world watches. Whatever the outcome, whatever the time of their deaths, we must all remain ever vigilant, be most fearfully aware, and pray with the greatest fervor than at any other time in our own recent history.
St. Michael the Archangel, arm us well. Keep evil thoughts and from filling our minds, and fill out hearts and souls with love. Help us to remain faithful believers through the trials that are now upon us. Keep the light shining brightly for us that we may always find our way in the thickening fog that will settle around us. Fill us with the courage of the Holy Spirit as we face our enemies who wait steadfastly to steal our faith and our belief in God’s profound love. Amen.
