It was the time of the great bubonic plague, and just before both Asia and Europe were hit with it, there were strange, historic rumblings in Asia.

With the possibility of the avian flu, and the resultant dislocations from the recent events.. Well maybe a chastisement is coming.

Well maybe a chastisement is coming.

Chastisements are part of the prophetic warnings in the messages of Fatima. And although some of the more recent ones have not been authenticated by the church, there have been alleged warnings and apparition messages since then predicting disasters and chastisements of a similar type. With the scandals in the church, mass immorality throughout society, and the diabolical abomination of embryonic stem cell slaughter, the spectre of chastisements of various proportions would tend to loom on the horizon.

Prayer, penance, reparation, and an attentive return to the Christian message would definitely be a good idea at this time. One wonders when some of the bishops will wake up and make the orthodox faith a priority for the church.

"Well maybe a chastisement is coming."

In that case, the safest place for all of us should be right "under the Throne." (In other words, all of should make sure we are right with the Lord in all parts of our lives. "One never knows the day nor the hour...")
