Ven. Emmerich says many more things that seem to fit pretty well with what is going on today. I thought that her descriptions of "the Holy Father" were pretty accurate of Pope John Paul II. She says that there will be great tribulation, persecution and martyrdom. But after that the Catholic Church will rise and be more beautiful than ever. Yes, I agree, the physical description is exactly like John Paul II. The description of the Bishops seems, unfortunately, all too true.
Are the quotes you use from Ven. Emmerich's book(s) "The Life of Christ"? I have them in my bookcase, they were a gift, but I've never opened them. I guess I will now!
Thanks so much for the uplifting words, I know that this is a period of tribulation for the Church and I just pray that we can pass on Christ's message and the faith that we hold so dear.
The quotes are from "The life of Anne Catherine Emmerich," available from TAN. Written by a priest. Some of her visions are also published in a book entitled "Catholic Prophecy," also at TAN.
