\nOur Lady’s love and protection over the Barque of Peter, the faithful Church<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. (John 16:12)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE\u00a0<\/strong>following is the third and last part of what can be summarized in the word “Prepare”<\/em> that Our Lady has laid on my heart. In some ways, it’s as though I have prepared 25 years for this writing. Everything has come into more focus over the past few weeks\u2014like a veil has been lifted and that which was seen dimly is now clearer. Some things I’m going to write below may be hard to hear. Some, you may have already heard (but I believe you will hear with new ears). This is why I have begun with the beautiful image above that my daughter recently painted of Our Lady. The more I gaze at it, the more strength it gives me, the more I feel Mamma with me… with us. Remember, always, that God has provided Our Lady as a sure and safe refuge.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, I was taking a walk on our country road when, in a split-second, I “understood” that no one\u00a0<\/em>is going to make it through this Great Storm<\/a> except by \"\"grace alone<\/em>. All our theological smarts, knowledge, and understanding, all our personal gifts, skills and cleverness are not enough; Divine Providence alone<\/em> will carry God’s people through these times as much as the ark carried Noah and his family. In other words, one could be an Olympic swimmer, but unless you’re in the Ark, you won’t be able to tread the waters of this Storm.<\/p>\n

So, it seems to me that a good followup to this writing will be a simple teaching on how to enter the Ark, stay there, and help your children and others get on board. Sound good? With that, then, let’s take hold of Our Lady’s mantle, wrap it around ourselves like a blanket, and hide beside her like a little child. Because I feel it is her hand upon me to write the third part of this series, and thus, she who will nurture us with the wisdom, light and understanding we need to know that everything\u2014<\/em>the suffering, the glory\u2014all lies within the plans of Divine Providence. After all, you are Our Lady’s Little Rabble<\/a><\/em> and she is now personally training us.

Allow me to take you now on a little journey, one the Lord has brought back to me in flashes a few weeks ago, weaving together a mosaic of warning to prepare His Bride, the Church. I apologize again that this series is longer than usual, but I think the mature reader can grasp the necessity of the content at this time in the world (and all of this I resubmitted to my spiritual director again before publishing this).<\/p>\n

THE ADVERSARY<\/p>\n

When I was a young boy, perhaps only 3-4 years old, my parents had just put me to bed. The light was off and the door was closed. I looked up at the light fixture on the ceiling, at a small red reflection on it. It began to grow and grow until I realized I was staring into the face of Satan. I cried out, and my mother came and held me in her arms as I shook.<\/p>\n

For some reason, the Lord has brought this memory back to me several times recently. It seems the devil found an adversary in a little boy who would someday consecrate his life to the Woman of Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12:1 to help her crush that vile head.<\/p>\n

DREAM OF THE LAWLESS ONE<\/p>\n

Twenty years later, at the beginning of my music ministry around 1993, I had an unforgettable dream. When Covid-19 was declared a “pandemic” in March, resulting in the closure of churches around the world and near martial law across the entire globe, the Lord reminded me again of that dream. This time, however, I distinctly heard in my heart: “Interpret this more literally now…” <\/em>I have published this in the past<\/a>, but I have bolded<\/strong> some details that I left out at the time because I thought they were insignificant\u2014until now:<\/p>\n

\n

I was in a retreat setting with other Christians, worshipping the Lord, when suddenly a group of young people walked in. They were in their twenties, male and female, all of them very attractive. It was clear to me that they were silently taking over this retreat house. I remember having to file past them through the kitchen<\/strong>. They were smiling, but their eyes were cold. There was a hidden evil beneath their beautiful faces, more tangible than visible. <\/em><\/p>\n

The next thing I remember is emerging from solitary confinement. There were no security guards but it was like I had to be there and, eventually, left of my own accord.<\/strong> I was taken to a laboratory-like white room lit with bright white light. There, I found my wife and children seemingly drugged, emaciated, abused in some way. <\/em><\/p>\n

I woke up. And when I did, I sensed\u2014and I do not know how\u2014the spirit of \u201cAntichrist\u201d in my room. The evil was so overwhelming, so horrific, so unimaginable, that I began to weep, \u201cLord, it can\u2019t be. It can\u2019t be! No Lord\u2026.\u201d Never before or since then have I experienced such “pure” evil. And it was the definite sense that this evil was either present, or coming to the earth\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

My wife awoke, hearing my distress, rebuked the spirit, and peace slowly began to return…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The “more literal” interpretation came to me quickly: The “retreat center” represents the Church today. The people who walked in did so uninvited\u2014they simply told us what to do. I clearly remember walking through the kitchen<\/em> past a line that blocked access to the cupboards and fridge, that is, the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. Their \"\"faces were beautiful, but evil lingered beneath. That is, we are being told now that “control” over nearly every aspect of our lives is “for our own good.” The confinement without guards<\/em> can easily be understood as “self-isolation.” Last, the most disturbing and perhaps most difficult part of the dream was how my family seemed “unworldly” disfigured. This part is hard for me to explain; but it was like there was a “new evil” that did this. This was followed by the actual<\/em> revelation of Antichrist. [Note: the “Antichrist” spoken of in Scripture and Tradition is <\/em>a real man. See footnote.] [1]<\/sup><\/a>Refuting the idea that he is not, Church Doctor St. Robert Ballarmine stated: “For all Catholics actually perceive Antichrist to be one certain man, but all the previously mentioned heretics, <\/em>in a manner peculiar to them, teach Antichrist not to be a single person, but rather the antichrist to be a single throne, or tyrannical kingdom, or the apostolic chair of those who preside over the (Catholic) Church.” \u2014Opera Omnia, Disputationem Roberti Bellarmini.
