Another era of persecution
Message to John Leary
Friday, October 17, 2008
(St. Ignatius of Antioch)
Jesus said: My people, in the last few weeks you have had feast days of the Early Church Fathers and other doctors of the Church.
You can study their rich theology in their writings.
Many Christians were martyred in the Early Church because of a prevailing persecution by the Roman Emperors.
Today, YOU ARE LIVING IN THE EARLY BEGINNINGS OF ANOTHER ERA OF PERSECUTION THAT WILL LEAD UP TO THE TRIBULATION TIME OF THE ANTICHRIST.
As you look at this world through the eyes of faith, you can see the INCREASE IN EVIL, a loss of faith, and an increase in immorality.
The evil ones are taking advantage of the weaknesses of mankind, and they will bring to ruin all of those souls who are not taking care of their spiritual lives.
Daily prayer and My sacraments are your best source of strength and grace to fight off the temptations of the evil ones.
Be alert to whether you are improving, staying the same, or decreasing in your religious fervor.
You must continually improve in your holiness if you intend to become a saint with My help.
Do not remain stagnant or lukewarm in the faith, or you will be lost to the evil ones.
Call on My help every day so you can remain on the right path to heaven.
