Signs of the Times  

    "The lion roars--
       who will not be afraid!
      The Lord God speaks--
        who will not prophesy!"
                            Amos 3:8


              THE FIRST WOE

   "Woe to those who turn judgment into wormwood
            and cast justice to the ground!
     They hate him who reproves at the gate
            and abhor him who speaks the truth.
     Therefore, because you have trampled upon the weak
           and exacted of them levies of grain.
     Though you have built houses of hewn stone,
           you shall not live in them!
     Though you have planted choice vineyards,
           you shall not drink their wine!

      Yes, I know how many are your crimes,
          how grievous your sins:
      Oppressing the just, accepting bribes,
          repelling the needy at the gate!
      Therefore the prudent man is silent at this time,
          for it is an evil time.
       Seek good and not evil,
           that you may live;
       Then truly will the Lord, the God of Hosts
           be with you as you claim!
        Hate evil and love good,
           and let justice prevail at the gate;
        Then it may be that the Lord, the God of Hosts,
           will have pity on the remnant of Joseph.

     Therefore, thus says the Lord,
            the God of Hosts, the Lord:
      In every square there shall be lamentations,
           and in every street they shall cry,
       Alas!   Alas!
      They shall summon the farmers to wail
         and professional mourners to lament,
       And in every vineyard there shall be lamentation
          when I pass through your midst,
                says the Lord."                        Amos 5:7-17

      "...You are still at the period described by me in my apparition...The struggle between the Woman clothed in the sun and the red dragon has, during these years, reached its highest peak.  Satan has set up his kingdom in the world.  He is now ruling you as a sure victor.
        The powers which are directing and arranging human events, according to their perverse plans, are the dark and diabolic powers of evil.  They have succeeded in bringing all humanity to live without God.  They have spread eveyrwhere the error of theoretical and practical atheism.  They have built the new idols before which humanity is bowing down in adoration: pleasure, money, pride, impurity, mastery over others and impiety.
       Thus, in these years of yours, violence is spreading more and more.  Egoism has made the hearts of men hard and insensitive.  Hatred has blazed up like a scorching fire.  Wars have multiplied in every part of the world, and you are now living in the danger of a new terrible world war which will bring destruction to peoples and nations, a war from which no one will emergy victorious.
       Satan has succeeded in entering into the Church, the new Israel of God.  He has entered there with the smoke of error and sin, of the loss of faith and apostasy, of compromise with the world and the search for pleasure.  During these years, he has succeeded in leading astray bishops and priests, religious and faithful.
