Signs of the Times  

  (Take note of the Dates of these messages and all that has happened since....

   BATTLE FOR MEN'S MINDS:
     "There is at the moment a war of ideas.  It is no longer races and nations that are at issue; the fight is for the spirit. (see Eph.6)  Have no doubt about this."  (Feb. 11, 1951)

  "The Church should take advantage of these (modern means) to win the mind of the world.  There will be others to cater tot he body.  The Church must influence the mind.  This is a ost opportune moment; for mankind is seeking.  The attack is no longer directed against nations, but against the minds of men."  (Feb. 14, 1950)  (see this week's 'sound bytes' and Q&A about NWO which relates to our time)

    "To France, Belgium, the Balkans and Austria, I say, do not let your mind be formed in the wrong way."  (Feb. 11, 1951)

     "Try to read the SIGNS OF THE TIMES youlive in and realize what the struggle is about.  Realize that it is a struggle for men's minds,  This is the time of the spirit.  The fight is hard and bitter, but the True Spirit will triumph."  (Oct. 5, 1952)


  THE CROSS:
     (In a vision)  We continue quite a long way into the garden until we come in front of a large cross.  "Take it up," the Lady says, "He has gone before you."  I refuse and feel as though the people of the whole world did the same and turned their backs upon the cross.  "Come," She says again. 

    I now see a radiant figure in a long garment walking in front of us.  He drags a very large cross.  He goes on His way with the Cross but no one follows Him.  "Alone."  There He walks alone in this world.  It will get even worse until the moment when something dreadful will happen and all at once the Cross of Christ will stand in the center of the world.  I see swastikas around the Cross--I see them falling.  Then stars--they also fall; sickles and hammers--everything falls beneath the Cross.

    All at once I see the Lady again in front of me with the Rosary and she says " "Keep on praying, all of you."  She points to the Cross and says, "The whole world will have to go back to it, great and small, poor and rich--but it will be difficult!"

     Now I see the globe before me and placing her foot on it the LAdy says, "I place my foot on the world.  I shall help them and lead them to the proper goal but they must listen."  (Oct. 7, 1945)

      "Resist the wrong spirit."  (Apri. 6, 1952)


CHURCH TEACHING AND PAPAL ENCYCLICALS:
    Suddenly I see our Pope and beneath him in the Vatican.  Then I see the entire Church of Rome and in the sky is written, ENCYCLICAL LETTERS."  "That is the right way," the Lady says to me emphatically.  "But," she adds sadly, "They are not being lived up to."  (Oct. 7, 1945)

      Then I see St. Peter's.  The Lady says, "The doctrine is correct."
       "People, do help the Holy Father.  Imitate his example.  Follow the precepts of the Encyclicals.  Let the world be filled with their teaching!  For then the spirit of untruth,lies and deception will be frustrated."  (Dec. 8, 1952)


LAITY - MEN AND WOMEN:    "And now I speak to the women of the world:  Women of the world, do you know what being a woman means?  'Sacrifice.'  Adandon your self-seeking and vanity and  try to lead to the Cross, the center of everything, your children and all those who are still wandering at pasture...And now I speak to the men of the world:  From you, men, should come the strength and the will to lead the world to the Sole Prince of this world, the Lord Jesus Christ..."  (May 31, 1951)

    With a compassionate look upon her face, She points to the women (in the vision), shakes her head and says (as though addressing them), "Are you yet conscious of your role?  You women must set the example.  Come back to your womanliness."  Now the Lady looks at the men and says, "I have one question for you, men: where are the soldiers of Christ?"  (Nov. 16, 1950)

    MASS:
       "Before the Lord Jesus Christ returned to the Father--before the Sacrifice of the Cross began--the Lord Jesus Christ  gave to the nations of the whole world the 'daily miracle.'  Now the Lady casts a searching glance over the globe and very slowly asks, "How many are there...(pause) who experience this great wonder?  They pass this miracle by.  The daily Sacrifice has to have its place at the center of this degenerate world."  (March 20 1953)


    PEACE:
     "Listen, mankind: You will preserve peace if you believe in Him.  Make this known." (Apr. 21, 1945)

     The Lady...has a child in her arms.  It is as though the Lady suddenly came down and now I see her standing on the globe.  This globe keeps rotating under her feet.  The Lady looks at me and says, "Come, follow me...I want to bring HIM (indicating the Child Jesus) into this world again.  But they don't want Him.(the latest public attack on Christianity/Christmas and the manger scene this week regarding the sign that was allowed to be displayed in WA denouncing "religion as harmful...etc.") 
    "Do bring Him back to mankind.  There must be a return to Him first of all before true peace can come," she stresses the word, "true."  Religion will have a hard sruggle and they want to tread it under foot.  This will be done so cunningly that scarcely anyone will notice it.  BUT, I give you warning." (March 23, 1946)

    "True Peace, nations, that is the kingdom of God.  God's kingdom now is nearer than ever."  (May 31, 1955.)
