Please see post 117. We need a Catholic prayer ping!

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Instead of attempting to refute me, why not visit the links with your ping list, and do as you do here, all together?

We need a Catholic prayer ping!

My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!
God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.
Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.
We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.
Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.
Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.
May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.
You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.
You love us because God and Christ loved us first.
Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.

If the sorts of things we have been seeing happen in this country within the last year or two don’t convince someone that we are in the end times, then I don’t know what it will take.

Each generation believes they are witnessing the end times. Genocide has plagued humanity for centuries. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by genocide scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. The 20th century toll included the death of 12,000,000 under Hitler, 7,000,000 under Stalin, 1,700,000 under PolPot .... See More. The difference now is that we can witness it on television.

As the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us:

What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.

Even the thing of which we say, “See, this is new!” has already existed in the ages that preceded us.

There is no remembrance of past generations nor will future generations be remembered by those who come after them. ... Ecc 1:9-11

There’s way more Bible prophecy being fulfilled than that.

Israel has again become a nation. The political situation is aligning with what is required for the countries mentioned in end times prophecy to fulfill them.

The technology is in place to enforce, ruthlessly, a one world government using the mark of the beast.

The religions of the world, are moving towards a one world religion.

The prophecy of Daniel that in the end knowledge with greatly increase and men will run to and fro across the face of the earth is happening.

Evil is rising almost exponentially between the violence of islam and the moral collapse almost everywhere in the world. Scripture tells us that as in the days of Noah, it would be at the end. And in the days of Noah, “the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”. We’ve surpassed Sodom and Gomorrah in depravity by all appearances.

It’s not just an isolated incident, here and there. It’s the culmination of MANY factors that are all necessary for that final judgment known as the Great Tribulation, to play out.

This world is ripe for God’s judgment and with the technology we have in place that enables us to almost completely destroy ourselves and have evil take control, against our will. You can continue to blow it off with that platitude, but do so at your own risk.

You raise some excellent points. It's interesting that you should post them today when, the universal Catholic Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday. During the course of Jesus' revelations to Saint Faustina on the Divine Mercy He asked on numerous occasions that a feast day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy and that this feast be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Read More.

In His messages to St. Faustina, our Lord spoke of His Second Coming:

You will prepare the world for My final coming. (Diary 429) 

Speak to the world about My mercy ... It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the Day of Justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fountain of My mercy.  (Diary 848) 

Tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near. (Diary 965).

I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. (Diary 1160)

Before the Day of Justice, I am sending the Day of Mercy. (Diary 1588)

He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice. (Diary 1146).

This morning, Pope Francis issued a proclamation calling for a Jubilee Year of Mercy to begin on December 8. I will be posting it separately.
