‘More souls go to hell because of sins of flesh’

A PRIEST has said that in our days the devil has been good at keeping the focus of many people away from the “signs of the times.” There’s modern technology to run after and possess, there’s a fashionable philosophy that preaches “love yourself” as if mankind has been afflicted with the plague of selflessness, there are people made wealthy by wrongdoings and have laundered wealth for legitimacy and even high respectability in mainstream society and have evolved into epitomes for emulation.

Things that human history used to abhor, such as immodesty especially among women, are now dream objectives for young ladies. It is now a big honor to win in beauty contests that impose bikinis, as sine qua non for triumph, ignoring how much transgression of libido this could trigger.

Yet the signs of the times, a term found in the New Testament, are becoming more and more pronounced. Even scientists admit this. Internet, specifically YouTube, are not short of videos of actual unusual phenomena of weird weather, UFO’s, unexplained mass deaths of animals, spreading sink holes, trumpet and other thundering sounds from the sky, bodies of water going blood-red, and so forth and so on.

All these remind us of revelations of the Blessed Mother to the child Jacinta Marto of Fatima (now a saint) as she appeared to her from December 1919 to February 1920 before she died alone in a hospital in Portugal. Amid the future materialism of our days, the Blessed Mother told Jacinta: “Flee from riches and luxury; love poverty and silence; have charity, even for bad people.”

And here’s a statement from the Blessed Mother that ought to be kept in mind: “More souls go to hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason.”

Then a prophecy. The Blessed Mother said: “Certain fashions will be introduced that will off end Our Lord very much.”

And now for our staple, the latest messages of the Blessed Mother from Medjugorje.

Last April 25, the Blessed Mother told visionary Marija as follows:

“Dear children! Today I am calling you to live your new life with Jesus. May the Risen One give you strength to always be strong in the trials of life and to be faithful and persevering in prayer; because Jesus saved you by His wounds and by His Resurrection gave you new life. Pray, little children, and do not lose hope. May joy and peace be in your hearts and witness the joy that you are mine. I am with you and love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

And then to Mirjana last May 2, the Blessed Mother said:

“Dear children: All that my Son, who is the light of love, has done and does, He has done out of love. Also you, my children, when you live in love and love your neighbors, you are doing the will of my Son. Apostles of my love, make yourselves little; open your pure hearts to my Son so that He can work through you. With the help of faith, be filled with love. But, my children, do not forget that the Eucharist is the heart of faith. This is my Son who feeds you with His Body and strengthens you with His Blood. This is a miracle of love: my Son who always comes anew, alive, to bring life back to souls. My children, by living in love you are doing the will of my Son and He lives in you. My children, my motherly desire is for you to always love Him more, because He is calling you with His love. He is giving you love so that you may spread it to all those around you. As a mother, through His love, I am with you to speak the words of love and hope to you-to speak to you the eternal words that are victorious over time and death-so as to call you to be my apostles of love. Thank you.”
