Christ the Word of Life, by Michael D. O’Brien I will choose the time; I will judge fairly. The earth and all its inhabitants will quake, but I have firmly set its pillars. (Psalm 75:3-4) WE have followed the Passion of the Church, walking in the footsteps of our Lord from His triumphal […]
Crucifixion, by Michael D. O’Brien The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, 677 AS we continue to follow the Passion of the Body in relation to the Book of Revelation, […]
“Jesus is condemned to death by Pilate”, by Michael D. O’Brien Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets. (Amos 3:7) PROPHETIC WARNING The Lord sends the Two Witnesses into the world to call them to repentance. Through this act of mercy, we see again […]
Seven years shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. (Dan 4:22) During Mass this past Passion Sunday, I sensed the Lord urging me to repost a portion of the Seven Year […]
IT is only in hindsight now that perhaps Romans Chapter 1 has become one of the most prophetic passages in the New Testament. St. Paul lays out an intriguing progression: denial of God as Lord of Creation leads to vain reasoning; vain reasoning leads to a worship of the creature; and worship of the […]
Elijah Sleeping, by Michael D. O’Brien RECENTLY, I answered your questions regarding private revelation, including a question about a website called www.catholicplanet.com where a man who claims to be a “theologian” has, on his own authority, taken the liberty to declare who in the Church is a purveyor of “false” private revelation, and who […]
First published March 23rd, 2007. AS I prayed this morning, I sensed the Lord offering a tremendous gift to this generation: complete absolution. If this generation would just turn to Me, I would overlook all her sins, even those of abortion, cloning, pornography and materialism. I would wipe away their sins […]
IS the battle in your spiritual life intensifying? As I receive letters and speak with souls throughout the world, there are two themes which are consistent: Personal spiritual battles are getting very intense. There is a sense of imminence that serious events are about to take place, changing the world as we […]
—THE THIRD PETAL— THIS is the third “petal” of a flower of prophetic words that Fr. Kyle Dave and I received in the Fall of 2005. We continue to test and discern these things, while sharing them with you for your own discernment.
Mark’s Book! — Watch the video — THESE are not normal times. Ask the average passerby if “something strange” is going on in the world, and the answer will almost always be “yes.” But what? There will be a thousand answers, many of them conflicting, several speculating, often adding more confusion to the […]
THE DAY OF THE LORD — PART III Creation of Adam, Michelangelo, c. 1511 THE Day of the Lord is drawing nearer. It is a Day when the manifold Wisdom of God will be made known to the nations. Wisdom… hastens to make herself known in anticipation of men’s desire; he who watches […]
I have often written over the past few years of the necessity to stay awake, to persevere in these days of change. I believe there is a temptation, however, to read the prophetic warnings and words that God is speaking through various souls these days… and then dismiss or forget them because they have […]
A LOT is happening in the world since our ministry and family moved to a new location the past couple weeks. The Pope released a new encyclical which has been widely (if not wildly) interpreted. I have not had time to read the document, but hope to later this summer. In the meantime, […]
IT is Canada Day today. As we sang our national anthem after morning mass, I thought about the freedoms paid for in blood by our ancestors… freedoms which are rapidly being sucked into an ocean of moral relativism as the Moral Tsunami continues its destruction. It was two years ago that a court […]
Veronica, by Michael D. O’Brien SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRED HEART WE often have it backwards. We want to know Christ’s victory, His consolations, the power of His Resurrection—before His Crucifixion. St. Paul said that he wants… …to know him and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by being […]
Elijah in the Desert, by Michael D. O’Brien PART of the struggle many Catholics have with private revelation is that there is an improper understanding of the calling of seers and visionaries. If these “prophets” aren’t shunned altogether as fringe misfits in the culture of the Church, they are often the objects of envy […]
The Dream, by Michael D. O’Brien Within the past two hundred years, there have been more reported private revelations that have received some form of ecclesiastical approval than in any other period of the Church’s history. —Dr. Mark Miravalle, Private Revelation: Discerning with the Church, p. 3 STILL, there seems to […]
St. Faustina FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY First published November 24th, 2006. I have updated this writing… WHAT would you say was Pope John Paul II’s central mission? Was it to bring down Communism? Was it to unify Catholics and Orthodox? Was it to birth a new evangelization? Or was it to bring the […]
Canterbury Cathedral, England THERE is a Great Storm coming, and it is already here, in which those things built on sand are crumbling. (First published October, 12th, 2006.) Everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The […]
First published March 8th, 2007. THERE are rumblings throughout the Church in North America about the growing cost of speaking the truth. One of them is the potential loss of the coveted “charitable” tax status the Church enjoys. But to have it means that pastors cannot put forward a political agenda, particularly during […]
Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers… —Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), 675 I have quoted this passage several times. Perhaps you have read it several times. But the question is, are you ready for it? Let me ask […]
But Jesus did say that before His return, there would be incredible activity in the cosmos: There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. … As I wrote in The Coming Counterfeit , I believe that after the Illumination (the Sixth Seal of Revelation ), there is going to rise a False Prophet will paint this miracle of God’s mercy as not a Divine encounter with Jesus, but an encounter with “the Christ within” (meaning we are all gods moving to a “higher plane of consciousness.”)
Earth at Twilight IT seems the whole world is crying out in jubilance that we are entering a “new era” with the inauguration of President Barack Obama: an “era of peace,” renewed prosperity, and advanced human rights. From Asia to France, from Cuba to Kenya, it is undeniable that the new president is […]
Artist Unknown I have updated this writing which I first published October 19th, 2007: I HAVE written often that we need to stay awake, to watch and pray, unlike the slumbering apostles in the Garden of Gethsemane. How critical this vigilance has become! Perhaps many of you feel a great fear that you […]
Carl Bloch, The Transfiguration First published June 13th, 2007. WHAT is this great grace that God will give to the Church in The Coming Pentecost? It is the grace of the Transfiguration. THE MOMENT OF TRUTH Surely the Lord God does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. (Amos […]
Peter’s Denial, by Michael D. O’Brien From a reader: My concern and question is within myself. I have been raised Catholic and have also done the same with my daughters. I have tried to go to church practically every Sunday and have tried to be involved with activities at church and in my community […]
“Two Deaths” — the choice of Christ, or Antichrist by Michael D. O’Brien First published on November 29th, 2006, I have updated this important writing: AT the beginning of my ministry about fourteen years ago, I had a vivid dream which is coming again to the foreground of my thoughts.
Martyrdom of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Artist Unknown JESUS reveals the reason for telling His disciples of coming tribulations: The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered… I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. (John 16:33) However, one might legitimately ask, “How is […]
First published November 19th, 2007. TWO things. The future is one of hope; and second—the world is not about to end.
Set the trumpet to your lips, for a vulture is over the house of the Lord. (Hosea 8:1) PARTICULARLY for my new readers, this writing gives a very broad picture of what I feel the Spirit is saying to the Church today. I am filled with great hope, because this present storm will […]
The Rescuer by Michael D. O’Brien Because you have kept my message of endurance, I will keep you safe in the time of trial that is going to come to the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one […]
St. Michael the Archangel — Michael D. O’Brien THIS writing was first posted in December of 2005. It is one of the core writings on this site which has unfolded into the others. I have updated it and resubmit it today. This is a very important word… it places into context so many things unfolding […]
Jesus and the Children by Michael D. O’Brien THERE has been a tremendous response to my letter written to you a couple weeks ago called It’s Time. I wrote how, over a year ago, I received an interior word from the Lord that He wanted me to produce a television show to speak the […]
Look Up!, by Michael D. O’Brien IN the wake of the U.S. and Canadian elections, many of you have written, tears in your eyes, broken-hearted that genocide will continue in your country in the “war on the womb.” Others are feeling the pain of division which has entered their families and the […]
This writing has been on the forefront of my thoughts since the day it was written (and it was written in fear and trembling!) It is perhaps a summary of where we are at, and where we are about to go. The Seals of Revelation are likened to the “labor pains” Jesus spoke of. […]
“The Perfect Storm”, source unknown First published March 26th, 2008. From subsistence farmers eating rice in Ecuador to gourmets feasting on escargot in France, consumers worldwide face rising food prices in what analysts call a perfect storm of conditions. Freak weather is a factor. But so are dramatic changes in the global economy, […]
Stock market brokers responding to turmoil THE COLLAPSE OF THE ORDER As I drove through the United States two years ago on a concert tour, I marveled at the quality of living I witnessed in nearly every state, from the caliber of the roads, to the abundance of material wealth. But I was taken […]
I KNOW many of you—according to your letters—are going through tremendous battles right now. This seems consistent with just about anyone I know who is striving for holiness. I think it is a good sign, a sign of the times… the dragon, thrashing his tail at the Woman-Church as the final confrontation enters […]
THE COMING ERA OF PEACE — PART III THE first Mass reading this past Sunday (October 5th, 2008) resounded in my heart like thunder. I heard the sigh of a God mourning over the state of His Betrothed: What more was there to do for my vineyard that I […]
First published April 24th, 2007. There are several items on my heart which the Lord has been speaking to me, and I realize that many of them are summarized in this previous writing. Society is reaching a boiling point, particularly with anti-Christian sentiment. For Christians, it means that we are entering the hour of […]
Christ Grieving Over the World, by Michael D. O’Brien FROM a letter I recently received: I have read your writings for 2 years and feel they are so on track. My wife receives locutions and so much of what she writes down is parallel to yours. But I have to share with you that […]
Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Artist Unknown MORE letters continue to come in from reader’s whose Marian statues have a broken left hand. Some can explain why their statue broke, while others cannot. But perhaps that is not the point. I think what is significant is that it is always a hand.
First published January 18th, 2008… IT is important to understand that the words I speak here are merely echoes of one of the central warnings Heaven has been sounding through the Holy Fathers this past century: the light of truth is being extinguished in the world. That Truth is Jesus Christ, the light […]
"My Secret Place", by Yvonne Ward DEAR brothers and sisters, Warm greetings in the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. For almost three years now, I have been writing on a regular basis the words which I feel the Lord has placed in my heart for you. The journey has been a […]
THERE is more coming on the Seven Year Trial series which I am continuing to write and pray about. In the meantime, more signs of the times…
