Dream of a Restored Church
I frequently think that the return of Christ may be imminent, especially since it seems much of Matthew 24 has been fulfilled in the past 100 years and how much of 2 Thess 2 has been fulfilled in the past 10 years. But a dream (literally a dream) this past week pumped the breaks on that expectation. I decided against writing that entire dream here in my blog, and I certainly don't claim it was a private revelation, but I can say that the joy, peace, truth, love and light in the life of Catholics in that dream reminded me of the following approved private revelations on the restoration of [...]

How Christians Should Mock Death
“For when one sees human beings, who are weak by nature, leaping towards death, neither shrinking from its corruption nor fearing the descent to hell, but with an eager spirit challenging it and not flinching from torture, but rather for the sake of Christ preferring instead of this present life zeal for death; or if one were to watch men and women and young children rushing and leaping towards death on account of their devotion to Christ, who is so silly or who is so incredulous, or who is so maimed in mind, as to not understand and reason that it is Christ, to whom human beings are bearing witness, [...]

Life Update 2021.09.25
This summer, I was blessed to be the chaplain for a couple weeks on the set of an upcoming movie by Metanoia Films called Cabrini. They filmed it in New York State (not NYC.) It is a big-screen-targeted movie on the life of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini and much of it takes place in lower Manhattan around the turn of the century. The set above is part of the re-creation of Five Points where St. Cabrini served the Italian immigrants of New York City. (Not that I think anyone should watch Godfather 2, but I believe the set above of Cabrini rivaled that of Coppola's 1974 movie.) The director Alejandro [...]

‘The Prophesy of St. Francis’ and the ‘Franciscans of the Immaculate’
This is a prophesy of St. Francis of Assisi. Notice it is sourced at the end: “Act bravely, my brethren; take courage and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase. The devils will have unusual power; the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who obey the true Supreme Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal ears and perfect charity. “At the [...]
