How Do I Hear God’s Voice?

A couple of my readers recently sent a great question along these lines:

Jesus tells us that His sheep hear His voice (John 10:4). Personally, I’ve tried to establish that connection with God, and I keep trying to open up that two-way conversation, but so far His voice seems distant. Maybe my problem is that I’m talking too much and not listening enough. I’m not giving up — I’ll keep trying. The reason I’m writing is that I’m wondering if you could share your thoughts?

Funny you should ask this, because I just said to my bishop recently, “It seems like the Lord is quite silent these days.” But is He?Continue reading →

…it will be men themselves who will
provoke the imminent conflict,
and it will be I, Myself,
who will destroy the forces of evil
to draw good from all this;
and it will be the Mother, most holy Mary,
who will crush the head of the serpent,
thus beginning a new era of peace;
IT WILL BE THE ADVENT

—Our Lord to Fr. Ottavio Michelini,

December 9, 1976

because your redemption is at hand.
(Luke 21:28)

The New Tree of Knowledge

Blow the horn in Zion,
sound the alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming!

The land before it is like the garden of Eden,
and behind it, a desolate wilderness;
from it nothing escapes.
(Joel 2:1, 3)

The faster we move toward the end of this era, the closer we come to the beginning. The trial humanity is collectively facing is essentially the same one Adam and Eve faced in the Garden: the choice between obedience to the Creator and His designs… or to eat from “the tree of knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9). Today, this ancient tree has taken on the form of artificial intelligence and its false promises.Continue reading →
