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 […]

THE explosion of division, divorce, and violence this past year is striking. The letters I’ve received of Christian marriages disintegrating, children abandoning their moral roots, family members falling away from the faith, spouses and siblings caught in addictions, and startling outbursts of anger and divisiveness among relatives is grievous. And when you hear of […]
Jesus Calms the Storm—Artist Unknown FEAST OF THE BIRTH OF MARY IT has been an overwhelming week of encouragement for many of you, as well as me. God has been banding us together, confirming our hearts, and healing them too—calming those storms which have been raging in our minds and spirits. I have been […]
Sacred Heart of Jesus by Michael D. O’Brien I HAVE been overwhelmed with a tremendous number of emails the past week from priests, deacons, layman, Catholics, and Protestants alike, and nearly all of them confirming the "prophetic" sense in "Trumpets of Warning!" I did receive one tonight from a woman who is shaken and […]
Artist Unknown LETTER from a reader: Hi Mark, Mark, I feel we need to be careful when we talk about mortal sins. For addicts who are Catholic, fear of mortal sins can cause deepened feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness which exacerbate the addiction cycle. I’ve heard many recovering addicts speak negatively of their Catholic […]
AFTER Mass this morning, my heart was burdened again with the grief of the Lord. MY LOST SHEEP! Speaking about the shepherds of the Church last week, the Lord began to impress words on my heart, this time, about the sheep.
SO few, it seems, understand the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Church. I want to share with you two true stories to shed light on this most honored member of the Body of Christ. One story is my own… but first, from a reader… WHY MARY? A CONVERT’S VISION… The Catholic […]
PENTECOST WE PRAY “Come Holy Spirit!” So when the Spirit comes, what does it look like? The icon of this coming is the Upper Room: an infusion of grace, power, authority, wisdom, prudence, counsel, knowledge, understanding, fortitude and fear of the Lord. But we see something else as well… something the Church has often failed […]
Helix Nebula THE destruction is, what one local resident described to me as of "biblical proportions". I could only agree in stunned silence after seeing the damage of Hurricane Katrina first hand. The storm occurred seven months ago–only two weeks after our concert in Violet, 15 miles south of New Orleans. It looks like […]
PERHAPS it’s just the mild winter, and so everyone’s outside instead of following the news. But there have been some disturbing headlines in the country which have barely ruffled a feather. And yet, they have the ability to influence this nation for generations to come: This week, experts are warning of a "hidden epidemic" […]
HOPELESS? What can stop the world from plunging into the unknown darkness which threatens peace? Now that diplomacy has failed, what is left for us to do? It seems almost hopeless. In fact, I have never heard Pope John Paul II speak in such grave terms as he has lately.
