The Approaching Darkness
April 2, 2022
Vision
On March 31, in prayer I saw what I thought was a repeat of a vision I had last Fall. In the earlier vision, I had seen a darkness coming over the whole earth, like a blanket. At the time, I also saw bright lights coming from the earth, which were the light of Faith of God’s chosen people, those who surrendered to Christ, and took up their cross, and the light of Faith.
In this recent vision, I saw a much deeper darkness, that was also much thicker coming over the earth. This darkness was putrid, and induced fear in many of those who were carrying their light of Faith. Many of those filled with fear surrendered their light, and walked away.
Those who had been strengthening their light of Faith by growing more daily in their spiritual practices, were buffeted by the darkness, but their faces became like steel as they refused to be overcome by it, and their lights continued to grow in intensity.
Prophetic Message
My Beloved Disciples, the darkness that has been approaching has now formed, as the evil one proceeds unfettered at this time towards his goal to destroy the Father’s Creation.
He will not succeed, but will wreak much havoc on the world, and upon my chosen ones, for whom he has the greatest hatred.
Many will flee from the destruction in fear. But, unlike the apostles, who all fled, many will be able to stand. The apostles did not have the Holy Spirit, as I have sent to you. They also did not have 2,000 years of Church history and teaching to gird them.
Like the apostles, who later all returned except for the betrayer, many, though not all of those who run away in fear, will return, at an appropriate time. 4.
This is the hour of the Passion of My Church. Stay with me, throughout My Passion. Meditate on My First Passion and Death, as My earthly body, the Church goes through her passion.
The apostles could not grasp that I must die, before there could be new life in the Resurrection. You have the knowledge that My Death on the Cross, though tragic on its own, was necessary for the Resurrection and the new day.
My Mother did not abandon me for an instant during My Passion and Death, and was the first one to whom I announced My Resurrection. Remain beneath her mantle of protection throughout these trials. 5.
Her Immaculate Heart will triumph over the evil one!
“When we find ourselves in some grave danger, we must not lose courage but firmly trust in God, for where there is the greatest danger, there is also the greatest help from Him Who wants to be called our "Help" in times of peace and in times of tribulation.”
― St. Ambrose
Excerpts from readings from 5th Sunday of Lent, Cycle C, April 3, 2022. These reading excerpts provide context and confirmation for the vision and prophecy received earlier in the week, which are above.
First Reading - Isaiah 43:18-21
Thus says the LORD, . . .
“Remember not the events of the past,
the things of long ago consider not;
see, I am doing something new!
Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
In the desert I make a way,
in the wasteland, rivers.
Wild beasts honor me,
jackals and ostriches,
for I put water in the desert
and rivers in the wasteland
for my chosen people to drink,
the people whom I formed for myself,
that they might announce my praise.”
Psalm 126:3-5
R. The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. 1.
Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those that sow in tears
shall reap rejoicing.
Second Reading - Philippians 3:8-14
Brothers and sisters:
I consider everything as a loss
because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things
and I consider them so much rubbish,
that I may gain Christ and be found in him, 2.
not having any righteousness of my own based on the law
but that which comes through faith in Christ,
the righteousness from God,
depending on faith to know him and the power of his resurrection
and the sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death,
if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
It is not that I have already taken hold of it
or have already attained perfect maturity,
but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it,
since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ Jesus.
Brothers and sisters, I for my part
do not consider myself to have taken possession.
Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind
but straining forward to what lies ahead,
I continue my pursuit toward the goal,
the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus.
Verse Before the Gospel
Joel 2:12-13
Even now, says the Lord,
return to me with your whole heart;
for I am gracious and merciful. 3.
Notes:
- “We are filled with joy. Father Sam Johnston, whose funeral we celebrated recently, often said in difficult times: “I may not be happy, but I am joyful.” This provides further context for the difficult times we are in, and for the message above from Jesus, which confirms the times, but also the triumph of Mother Mary’s Immaculate Heart.
- In the prophecy, we may well lose all Things, but beneath Mary’s mantle of protection, we can cling to our hope in her triumph, and in remaining faithful to Jesus.
- In the prophecy, many will turn away like the apostles, and may return like them, as well. He is gracious and merciful to those who come to Him, because it is His desire that none be lost.
- This reminds us of the selection of the 300 warriors for Gideon. The ones who did not make that final cut, as it were, were called on to rout the foe, after the initial battle fought by the 300.
- Beneath Mary’s mantle of protection, is the Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and the Sacraments. We may again lose access to the Sacraments, but the Rosary and Chaplet we will have with us always.
