Thanks :-) Today is not too bad, just feeling sad and powerless about Terri.

I never thought I would be in favor of a Catholic monarchy. Today I took a step in that direction.

The godless and corrupt rule our nation.

Do not despair, that is what the evil one wants. With every headline I must fight the tendency to do just that.

You may find something in that book about "when our Lord lies in Our Ladies lap, then..." An old prophecy.

The feast of the Annunciation this year falls on Good Friday. May be something to that, maybe not.

You do know that Terri was allowed to receive the Annointing of the Sick (host) through her feeding tube before it was disconnected?

**I've only scanned the book so far. I can't find many references to the US except that we will send troops to save Europe and the Pope will flee overseas. **

Amazing. But will this be Peter, the supposed last Pope, who is really and anti-Pope?

Keep in mind I've only started, but so far I understand that a Pope (maybe this one) will flee to Germany and then overseas (America?) An anti-pope will be installed but I don't think elected. Catholics will be forced to choose. One prophecy even states there will be three--a German, Italian and a Greek. The Church will schism. The real Pope dies in exile and the Church is leaderless. Somehow the loyal Cardinals elect a new Pope who is firm, kind and restores the Church disciplines.

I don't believe the last Pope Peter will be an anti-pope. I think he is the strong leader who restores the Church. The Pope who flees may be this one or the next.

I mean that, really. I'm bizarre like that; I actually believe that those are three of the greatest prayers that can be said. They all beg for eternity.

I'm absolutely convinced that if anyone said those particular prayers once a day for the rest of their lives, they would never be lost.

It was posted last week. The word Communion might be in the title.

When they took the tube out the first time, they wouldn't let a priest see her. But this time they did.

It's actually very interesting to collect all the prophecies of the saints of the Church and lay them out on the table. There are dozens and dozens of texts that bear remarkable similiarity to each other. They are virtually homogenious.

They all speak of Catholic monarch who will reunite civil society under submission to the Roman Pontiff, who in turn, will uphold dogma and tradition. They all talk about a large scale conversion of Protestants, Jews and Muslims to the Catholic Faith. They all talk about the re-affirment of the social kingship of Christ, but that it will be short lived and begin to be attacked not from within like this time, but from without as in physically and as in martyrdom.

Right, my wife says she did receive Holy Communion. I didn't know that. That's great.

Not the same as Last Rites, but I'm sure she has received that too.

Well, what more could one ask for, really.

The Catholic monarch is supposed to be a French or German army officer of royal blood. I think he becomes king or emperor at the age of 40. He is out there somewhere now.

I haven't seen much on the fate of the US which makes me wonder.

If we can send troops to Europe we must survive in some form.

I don't know. I just know what everyone knows whether they admit it or not:

We're here; it's now.

Call me selfish, but when it comes to prophecy I don't pray for the world to survive any chastisements, or to be included in the survivors. I pray for the grace to accept and bear any suffering that may come, because surely I deserve it, and then some. Mainly I just pray for the grace of a happy death for me, my family and all whom I love in a fraternal Christian way. (That includes you guys of course.)

Lord whatever horrors may come please let me die in a state of grace with Your Name on my lips.

You are mistaken about the form of the sacrament of Extreme Unction. Holy Communion is separate sacrament, unto itself.

Extreme Unction

I. ACTUAL RITE OF ADMINISTRATION

As administered in the Western Church today according to the rite of the Roman Ritual, the sacrament consists (apart from certain non-essential prayers) in the unction with oil, specially blessed by the bishop, of the organs of the five external senses (eyes, ears, nostrils, lips, hands), of the feet, and, for men (where the custom exists and the condition of the patient permits of his being moved), of the loins or reins; and in the following form repeated at each unction with mention of the corresponding sense or faculty: "Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed [quidquid deliquisti] by sight [by hearing, smell, taste, touch, walking, carnal delectation]". The unction of the loins is generally, if not universally, omitted in English-speaking countries, and it is of course everywhere forbidden in case of women. To perform this rite fully takes an appreciable time, but in cases of urgent necessity, when death is likely to occur before it can be completed, it is sufficient to employ a single unction (on the forehead, for instance) with the general form: "Through this holy unction may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed." By the decree of 25 April, 1906, the Holy Office has expressly approved of this form for cases of urgent necessity.

She received both the Annointing of the Sick and Holy Communion as far as I know. I looked for the proof last night but could not find it.

I know there were two sacraments received. I just mispoke.
