A chara deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha, ó scríobh Faoi Léigear go luath i mí Lúnasa ag impí ar do idirghuí agus do ghuí, na trialacha agus na géarchéimeanna airgeadais go liteartha iolrú thar oíche. Fágadh iad siúd a bhfuil aithne acu orainn chomh anáil linn agus atá faoi scóip miondealuithe, deisiúcháin agus costais dosháraithe agus muid ag iarraidh déileáil le triail amháin tar éis na chéad trialach eile. Dealraíonn sé go bhfuil sé níos faide ná an “gnáth” agus níos cosúla le hionsaí spioradálta dian ní amháin chun muid a dhíspreagadh agus a mhíshásamh, ach gach nóiméad múscailte de mo lá a thógáil ag iarraidh ár saol a bhainistiú agus fanacht ar snámh. Sin an fáth nár scríobh mé rud ar bith ó shin - níl am agam. Tá go leor smaointe agus focail agam a d'fhéadfainn a scríobh, agus tá súil agam, nuair a thosóidh an tranglam ag oscailt. Is minic a dúirt mo stiúrthóir spioradálta go bhfuil Dia ag ceadú trialacha den chineál seo i mo shaol d’fhonn cabhrú le daoine eile nuair a bhuaileann an Stoirm “mór”.
agus how close it is. To watch in real-time the collapse of Western civilization is a remarkable and stunning thing. The rapid abandonment of Christian principles, the nose dive into paganism, the disarray of the Catholic Church and the hierarchy, the utter corruption in economics and politics, the hedonism saturating the media, and the shocking embrace of socialist/communist ideology after a century of bloodshed of Marxist experimentation…. all of it, all of it, was predicted by Our Lady. But so too was her Triumph, and it is getting nearer every day, though we have much to suffer yet.
So no, I have not abandoned my readership! Nor, do we see, from the letters I’m receiving and even spontaneous donations, that you have abandoned us. Satan wants us to lose our faith. He wants us to believe that there is no God, that everything is random, that there is no hope—save taking matters into our own hands. But with tears in my eyes and with what breath I have left in my lungs, I declare again that Is é Íosa Tiarna. I declare again that “I believe” every tenet of the Apostle’s Creed and my Catholic Faith. And I renew my baptismal vows, particularly renouncing Satan and the glamour of sin, self-determination, and worldliness. We are living in that time prophesied by Ezekiel where the flock is shepherdless. But that does not mean we are without the Great Shepherd. To whom shall we go, Lord, You have the words of eternal life!
I am still praying for all of you, of course, and beg you to be patient a little bit more. Another week, maybe two, and I can begin to start writing again if God wills it….
Last, we are delighted to share with you a happy moment emerging from this summer of trials—the birth yesterday of our first grandson, Gabriel John Paul, to our daughter Nicole and her husband David:
In the meantime, here is a conference announcement. I will be speaking along with two other fine souls, John Labriola and Christine Watkins. Bishop Robert Barron will be saying the Saturday vigil Mass as well. I believe this is going to be a very, very powerful conference in order to equip those who are still clinging to the Barque of Peter:
