Confusion! Confusion! Confusion!

When Pope Benedict XVI resigned in 2013, I repeatedly heard over and over again one of the strongest interior “now words” I’ve ever received:

You are now entering into dangerous and confusing times.

I spoke at length about this with American seer Jennifer, who received similar words from Our Lord in 2005:

My people, this time of confusion will only multiply. When the signs begin to come forth like boxcars, know that the confusion will only multiply with it. Pray! Pray dear children. Prayer is what will keep you strong and will allow you the grace to defend the truth and persevere in these times of trials and sufferings. —Jesus to Jennifer, November 3rd, 2005

As I wrote in By Our Own Hands, the signs have indeed been piling up “like boxcars,” one after another. Most notably, spiritual confusion began in those days after Pope Francis was elected.Continue reading →

In the clamor of today’s world, fast-paced and saturated with noise, the art of discernment has become tragically lost. In fact, St. John Paul II said,

But wiser people will not be forthcoming unless we learn to hear and discern the voice of God…Continue reading →

The Crisis of the Refugee Crisis

(Video screenshots of ‘refugees’ pouring into Spain from Faro TV, AP. etc.; Fair Use)

 

Watching tens of thousands of young military-aged men, predominantly Muslim, pouring into Spain yesterday was chilling. Some there called it an “invasion.” What does Islam call it?

I published the following in December of 2015, and it remains more relevant than ever as Western leaders continue to destabilize their populations and economies. 

Is it deliberate?

 

It is a ‘refugee crisis’ unseen in magnitude since World War II. It comes at a time when many Western nations have been or are in the midst of elections. That is to say, there is nothing like political rhetoric to cloud the real issues surrounding this crisis. That sounds cynical, but it is a sad reality, and a dangerous one at that. For this is no ordinary migration…

In her many apparitions throughout the world, the Blessed Mother has repeatedly invoked us to:

Pray, pray, pray

It is a form of Hebraic superlative to create emphasis — like “holy, holy, holy.”[1]eg. Isaiah 6:3 What does it mean, though? Is Our Lady asking us to pray more rosaries? Say more Masses? More intercessory prayers, etc.? The answer, I think, is far deeper than that…Continue reading →

A Black Pope?

Were I the devil, at this moment in the Church and the world, I would do my best to discredit the priesthood, undermine the Holy Father’s authority, sow doubt in the Magisterium, and attempt to convince the faithful that they can only rely now upon their own inner instincts and private revelation.

That, simply, is a recipe for deception.

A Great Schism?

Pope Leo XIV/The late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre 

 

On July 2, 2026, the Apostolic See issued ipso facto a latae sententiae excommunication of four priests “ordained” to the episcopate within and by the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), as well as the bishop who acted as co-consecator in the liturgical celebration.[1]zenit.org The priests were elevated to the level of bishop without the express permission and authority of the Pope. The Vatican added:

Clergy and lay faithful are warned not to adhere to the schism of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, as they would automatically incur the penalty of latae sententiae excommunication. —Zenit, July 2, 2026

This has caused new divisions, if not the birth of a new schism in the Church…Continue reading →

Hope and Ultimate Despair

The Lord said to Cain: “What have you done?…
The Lord’s question… is addressed also
to the people of today,
to make them realize the extent and gravity
of the attacks against life
which continue to mark human history…
—POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II,
Evangelium Vitae, n. 10

or on YouTube

 

St. John Paul II’s warning of a rising “culture of death” in the West has proven to be a central prophetic word around which all others find their context. “This struggle parallels the apocalyptic combat described in [Rev 12 of the “Woman” vs. the “dragon”],” he warned. “Death battles against Life: a ‘culture of death’ seeks to impose itself on our desire to live, and live to the full.”[1]Remarks at Sunday Mass at Cherry Creek State Park, Denver Colorado, World Youth Day, August 15, 1993, Solemnity of the Assumption; ewtn.com

A quarter century later, Africa’s Cardinal Robert Sarah rightly declared the struggle as primarily rooted in the West. Indeed, abortion, contraception, assisted suicide, and gender ideology are now considered fundamental human “rights”, even as native populations and birth rates plummet, creating a demographic disaster.Continue reading →

Hope and Holy Abandonment

St. Paul tells us that hope is the fruit of a character that is tried through the furnace of suffering (see Hope in Hopelessness):

…affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope… (Romans 5:3-4)

Therefore, he said, “I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). In other words, it is not enough to simply “endure” our trials, for one can also put up with them, so to speak, in a state of bitter resignation, anger, and resentment, thus producing not hope but despair and other ill fruits.Continue reading →

I turned the corner of the meat aisle in the grocery store. A young man in his early twenties stood there motionless, staring blankly through the glass freezer door at the boxes of hamburgers. The cheapest was about $26 for just six patties (a ridiculous price, given that our province, Alberta, is a major beef producer). Suddenly, as though waking from a stupor, the young man slowly opened another door, grabbed a box of cheap, processed sausage rolls at about a third of the cost, and strode off.Continue reading →

Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea,
but the encounter with an event, a person,
which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.

Iam a cradle Catholic. There have been many key moments that have deepened my faith over the past five decades. But the ones that produced hope were when I personally encountered the presence and power of Jesus. This, in turn, led me to love Him and others more. Most often, those encounters happened when I approached the Lord as a broken soul, for as the Psalmist says:Continue reading →

Many years ago, my family was passing through Saskatchewan, Canada. The area we were traveling that night was renowned for “UFO sightings.” We discussed it in the car with a certain intrigue. Admittedly, I was hoping we might catch a glimpse of a spacecraft as my eyes squinted into the black sky.

Back then, my dad drove a big Dodge car where you could stretch out on the back window sill and watch the clouds or stars pass by. I crawled over the back seat onto the ledge and looked up. Suddenly, there were 6 bright lights in a row, seemingly hovering there. No lamposts, nothing but the lights. And then suddenly, they were gone. Continue reading →

World events are moving faster and faster. Revolutionary change is coming at us like the winds of a hurricane as we approach the eye of the Great Storm. As a watchman, I am amazed at the seismic news stories we track in a single day — the equivalent of a year’s worth of major stories only a few decades ago. Who can keep track of the wars, the sudden imposition of A.I., the soaring costs of living, the divisions in our families and nations, and the crisis of leadership in the Church? These are ferocious winds that, if we’re not careful, can blind, disorientate, and discourage us.Continue reading →

Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius (c. 250 – c. 325) was an influential Christian author of the fourth century who became an advisor to Roman emperor Constantine. He is best known for his apologetic Institutiones Divinae (“The Divine Institutes”), a Christian defense against paganism. He is counted among the Early Church Fathers for both his proximity to the early Church and his orthodoxy. But today, he is becoming better known for what appears to be a stunning prophetic acuity…Continue reading →

We are not facing the end of the world. In fact, we are not even facing the last tribulations of the Church.

If I could collect the tears of all the parents who have shared their heartbreak and grief of how their children have left the Faith, I’d have a small ocean. But that ocean would be but a droplet compared to the Ocean of Mercy that flows from the Heart of Christ. There is no One more interested, more invested, or burning with more desire for the salvation of your family members than Jesus Christ who suffered and died for them. Nonetheless, what can you do when, despite your prayers and best efforts, your children continue to reject their Christian faith creating all kinds of internal problems, divisions, and angst in your family or their lives? Moreover, as you pay attention to the “signs of the times” and how God is preparing to purify the world once again, you ask, “What about my children?”Continue reading →
