One\u00a0of the central functions\u00a0of this writing apostolate\u00a0is to show how Our Lady and the Church are truly mirrors of one\u00a0<\/em>another\u2014that is, how authentic\u00a0so-called “private revelation” mirrors\u00a0the prophetic voice of the Church, most especially that of the popes. In fact,\u00a0it has been a great eye-opener for me to see how the pontiffs, for over a century, have been paralleling the Blessed Mother’s message such that her more personalized warnings are essentially the “other side of the coin” of the institutional warnings of the Church. This is most evident in my\u00a0writing\u00a0<\/i>Why Aren’t the Popes Shouting?<\/a><\/p>\n

In my last writing<\/em>\u00a0Raise Your Sails<\/a>, I recounted how Our Lady has been giving strong warnings on “the last night of the year”. Well, so too did Pope Benedict in an unforgettable speech in 2010 before the end of the New Year. It is more\u00a0relevant, more imminent today than ever, as the nations begin to brace for a Third World War. Such is the fulfillment of the Second\u00a0Seal of Revelation when the rider upon a red horse is <\/em>“given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another.” [1]<\/sup><\/a>Rev 6:3-4<\/span><\/span>
