Apocalypse, by Michael D. O’Brien When the seven days were over, the waters of the flood came upon the earth. (Genesis 7:10) I want to speak from the heart for a moment to frame the rest of this series. The past three years have been a remarkable journey for me, one I never […]
The test of democracy is freedom of criticism. —David Ben Gurion, the first Israeli Prime Minister CANADA’S national anthem rings out: …the true north strong and free… To which I add: …so long as you agree. Agree with the state, that is. Agree with the new high priests of this once great nation, […]
The Perseus Comet, “17p/holmes” Two days ago, the words “THE STORM HAS ARRIVED” came to mind. Since publishing the writing below on November 5th, 2007, a world food shortage crisis has developed; the world economy has become extremely fragile; the alarm has been raised over new incurable “superbugs“; major storms are pummeling the world; […]
AFTER the first Pentecost, the Apostles were infused with a deeper understanding of who they were in Christ. From that moment on, they began to live, move, and have their being “in the name of Jesus.”
IT is clear that many are having powerful experiences during the Encounter With Jesus events we are giving on our tour through the United States. Here is one such testimony from someone who was “drawn” to an Ohio event this week…
The Two Deaths, by Michael D. O’Brien In this symbolic work, both Christ and Antichrist are depicted, and the people of the times are faced with a choice. Which path to follow? There is much confusion, much fear. Most of the figures do not comprehend where the roads will lead; only a few little children […]
FEAST OF ST. JOSEPH THIS writing was first published on October 5th, 2007. I am compelled to republish it here today, which is the Feast of St. Joseph. One of his many titles as a patron saint is “Protector of the Church.” I doubt the timing of the inspiration to re-post this article is a […]
I WROTE not long ago about Our Lady’s Battle, and the role that a “remnant” is being urgently prepared for. There is one other aspect to this Battle I wish to point out. BATTLE CRY In the battle of Gideon—a metaphor of Our Lady’s Battle—the soldiers are handed: Horns and empty jars, and […]
IN my travels throughout North America, I have been hearing remarkable conversion stories from young people. They are telling me about conferences or retreats they’ve attended, and how they are being transformed by an encounter with Jesus—in the Eucharist. The stories are almost identical: I was having a difficult weekend, not really […]
LOVE REVEALS ITSELF HE was not a righteous man. He was a liar, a thief, and everyone knew it. Yet, in Zacchaeus, there was a hunger for the truth which sets us free, even if he did not know it. And so, when he heard that Jesus was passing by, he climbed a […]
THE body constantly needs a source of energy, even for simple tasks such as breathing. So, too, the soul has essential needs. Thus, Jesus commanded us: Pray always. (Luke 18:1) The spirit needs the constant life of God, much the way grapes need to hang on the vine, not just once a day or […]
At other times, He would lift my heart and press it to His own, and suddenly the sorrow for my sin, the distorted fear of Him, the anxieties of life, the pain of my weakness… all would dissolve in the flames of His Sacred Heart.
…Prayer is the furnace which transforms your inner man into Christ so that it is no longer you who live, but Christ living in you.
The Prodigal Son, by Liz Lemon Swindle ASH WEDNESDAY THE so-called “illumination of conscience” referred to by saints and mystics is sometimes called a “warning.” It is a warning because it will present a clear choice for this generation to either choose or reject the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ before […]
AS I prepare to write more of the vision of hope that’s been laid upon my heart, I want to share with you some very crucial words, to bring both the darkness and light into focus. In Prophetic Perspective (Part I), I wrote how important it is for us to grasp the big picture, […]
THE "word" below is from an American priest at whose parish I gave a mission. It is a message which restates what I have written here several times: the critical need at this juncture in time for regular Confession, prayer, time spent before the Blessed Sacrament, reading of the Word of God, and devotion […]
First published December 25th, 2006… THOSE hands. So tiny, so small, so harmless. They were God’s hands. Yes, we could look at God’s hands, touch them, feel them… tender, warm, gentle. They were not a clenched fist, determined to bring justice. They were hands open, willing to grab whomever would hold them. The […]
THESE are the days when Jesus is asking us to have total and absolute trust. It may sound like a cliché, but I hear this with all seriousness in my heart. We must totally and absolutely trust Jesus, because the days are coming when He is all we will have to lean on.
But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? For he is like the refiner’s fire… (Mal 3:2) I BELIEVE we are drawing nearer and nearer to the dawning of The Day of the Lord. As a sign of this, we are beginning to feel […]
MY recent article called Dead End probably elicited the most email responses from anything I’ve ever written.
On your return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put in your power. I will make him obstinate, however, so that he will not let the people go. (Ex 4:21) I COULD feel it in my soul as we drove up to the U.S. border last […]
The Conversion of Saint Paul, by Caravaggio, c.1600/01, THERE are three words which I feel describe the current battle many of us are going through: Distraction, Discouragement, and Distress. I will write about these shortly. But first, I want to share with you some confirmations I have received.
Exiles of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans FIRST published September 7th, 2006, this word has grown in strength in my heart just recently. The call is to prepare both physically and spiritually for exile. Since I wrote this last year, we have witnessed the exodus of millions of people, particularly in Asia and Africa, due […]
LIKE the dawning of the Sun, is the rebirth of the Latin Mass. FIRST SIGNS The first signs of morning are like a dim halo on the horizon which grows brighter and brighter until the horizon is engulfed in light. And then the Sun comes. So too, this Latin Mass signals the […]
St. Michael the Archangel FOR your reference, a powerful letter from one of the successors of the Apostles on the occult, its dangers, and what we must do to guard ourselves against the "wickedness and snares of the devil."
MODERN mystics and seers tell us that after the so-called "illumination of conscience," in which everyone on the face of the earth will see the condition of his or her soul (see The Eye of the Storm), an extraordinary and permanent sign will be given at one or many apparitions sites.
MEMORIAL OF THE QUEENSHIP OF MARY DEAR friends, Forgive me, but I wish to speak for a brief moment about my particular mission. In doing so, I think you will have a better understanding of the writings which have unfolded on this site since last August of 2006.
Mark & Lea Mallett OVER the past several days, since we publicly appealed to you for financial help in our ministry of evangelization, there has been a touching outpouring of love, affection, and help from so many. We simply want to say how blessed and moved we are by your support on so many […]
Our Lady of Combermere, Ontario, Canada Tell me what agreement there is between the temple of God and idols. You are the temple of the living God, just as God has said:
OVER the past couple of weeks in particular, the meditations here have likely been difficult for you to read—and truthfully, for me to write. While pondering this in my heart, I heard: I am giving these words so as to warn and move hearts to repentance.
Noah’s Ark, Artist Unknown THERE is a quickening of events in nature, but also an intensifying of human hostility against the Church. Yet, Jesus did speak of labor pains which would be “only the beginning.” If that is the case, why would there be this feeling of urgency which so many people sense about […]
Pope John Paul II with his would-be assassin THE measure of love is not how we treat our friends, but our enemies. THE WAY OF FEAR As I wrote in The Great Scattering, the enemies of the Church are growing, their torches lit with flickering and twisted words as they begin their march […]
I am writing you today from the Divine Mercy Shrine in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, USA. Our family is taking a brief break, as the last leg of our concert tour unfolds. WHEN the world seems to be caving in on you… when temptation seems more powerful than your resistance… when you are more […]
WHEN I wrote The Great Meshing before Christmas, I concluded saying, …the Lord began to reveal to me the counter-plan: The Woman Clothed with the Sun (Rev 12). I was so full of joy by the time the Lord was finished speaking, that the plans of the enemy seemed minuscule in comparison. My […]
THE common mantra today is, “You have no right to judge me!” This statement alone has driven many Christians into hiding, afraid to speak out, afraid to challenge or reason with others for fear of sounding “judgmental.” Because of this, the Church in many places has become impotent, and the silence of fear has […]
AS I wrote the Hard Truths the past two weeks, like many of you, I openly wept—struck with a deep horror of not only what is happening in our world, but also the realization of my own silence. If "perfect love casts out all fear" as the Apostle John writes, then perhaps perfect […]
Ottawa, Canada First published April 14th, 2006. If the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any one of them; that man is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the […]
"Passion of the Christ" I HAD thirty minutes before my meeting with the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration at the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. These are the nuns founded by Mother Angelica (EWTN) who lives with them there at the Shrine. After spending time in prayer before Jesus in the […]
THROUGH a series of divine interchanges, I was to play a concert tonight in a war refugee camp near Mostar, Bosnia-Hercegovina. These are families that, because they were driven from their villages by ethnic cleansing, have had nothing to live in but little tin shacks with curtains for doors (more on that soon). Sr. Josephine Walsh—an indominable […]
Road to St. Pietro "St. Peters Basilica", Rome, Italy I AM off to Rome. In just a few days, I will have the honor of singing in front of some of Pope John Paul II’s closest friends… if not Pope Benedict himself. And yet, I feel this pilgrimage has a deeper purpose, an expanded mission… […]
Photo by Michael Buehler MEMORIAL OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI I HAVE many Protestant readers. One of them wrote me regarding the recent article My Sheep Will Know My Voice in the Storm, and asked: Where does this leave me as a Protestant? AN ANALOGY Jesus said He would build His Church on “rock”—that is, […]

Jesus Mocked, by Gustave Doré, 1832-1883 MEMORIAL OF SAINTS COSMAS AND DAMIAN, MARTYRS Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. (Mark 9:42) WE would do […]
