JUST<\/strong> as one will be blinded by flying debris if he tries to stare into the furious winds of a hurricane, so too, one can be blinded by all the evil, fear and terror unfolding hour by hour right now. This is what Satan wants\u2014to drag the world into despair and doubt, into panic and self-preservation in order to lead us to a “saviour.”<\/em> What is unfolding right now is not another speed bump in world history. It is the final clash of two kingdoms, the final confrontation<\/em> of this era between the Kingdom of Christ versus<\/em> the kingdom of Satan…<\/p>\n

\n

We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the Gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. <\/strong>\u2014Eucharistic Congress for the bicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, PA, 1976; cf.

This writing is perhaps the most sobering thing I’ve ever written in a long while. Please, do not count the words, but count the grace it is that we still have time to sit together in Our Lady’s school. Let’s cover this writing and our minds with God’s protection as we pray three times:<\/p>\n

THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT<\/p>\n

Let’s remember where we are headed! Christ’s coming kingdom is a Kingdom of the Divine Will<\/em>\u2014for we have been praying for its \"\"arrival for 2000 years: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”\u00a0<\/em>It is essentially a restoration or “resurrection<\/a>” of what was lost in<\/em> man in the Garden of Eden: that union of the human will with the Divine Will that was more than mere obedience but a participation in the life of the Holy Trinity. Thus, what is coming…<\/p>\n

…is a sanctity completely different from other sanctities… the sanctity of Living in My Will is identical to the [interior] life of the blessed in heaven<\/em> who, by virtue of living in My Will, enjoy within each of themselves My indwelling, as if I were there for each one alone alive and real, and not mystically, but really dwelling within them.<\/strong> \u2014Jesus to Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, The Gift of Living in the Divine Will in the Writings of Luisa Piccarreta<\/em>, Rev.
