Is Mary's Queenship Biblical By Edward Sri Mary’s queenship can be seen in the great vision described in Revelation 12: “And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery” (Rev. 12:1–2). Who is this newborn child? He is described as the messianic king exercising his dominion. In verse 5, the author of Revelation chose the messianic Psalm 2 to describe how this child will “rule all the nations with a rod of iron” (Rev. 12:5, Ps. 2:9). This royal son is taken up to heaven to sit on a throne (Rev. 12:5), and he ushers in the kingdom of God by defeating the devil: “Now the kingdom of our God has come, for the accuser has been throne down” (12:10). Certainly, this newborn child is the royal Messiah, King Jesus.

Day 232 of 366 in year 2020 📆Wednesday, 19-08-2020 THEME: The Lord is God, keep his Commandments Jesus repeated this law in another way to the people of Israel saying, “you must love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might.” It means that we don’t give part of our heart, or part of our soul to God, or part of our strength to God. Rather, we must give all to him, we must be totally committed to God such that we must be willing to deny ourselves, to pick up our cross and to follow him, this way we become true disciples of Jesus.

Day 231 of 366 in 2020 📆Tuesday, 18-08-2020 ⚜️Theme: Let God Confirm your Hearts in Holiness When we speak of the attirbutes of God, one major thing that comes to our mind is holiness. However, this is the last thing that is found in the life of so many Christians today. It is very necessary that we remind ourselves everyday to live a holy life, because without holiness, we cannot have any place in God’s kingdom.

Day 230 of 366 in 2020 📆Monday, 17-08-2020 Theme: Remain Steadfast in Tribulations Who is a friend of God? The one who remains steadfast in the midst of tribulations. We might claim to be God’s friends or God’s children, but we will only be deceiving ourselves when our actions contradicts the will of God. To be friends of God we have to give up our humanity; every satisfaction of the flesh and connect with the spirit of God.

Happy Feast of Assumption.. • Article: Title: Is Mary the Woman in Revelation 12? Mary is the ever-virgin, mother of God, mother of all believers and Ark of the New Covenant who stands in contrast with the Ark of the Old Covenant that is also depicted as being in heaven in the preceding verse (Rev. 11:19). Even Perry, an Evangelical Christian, admits “As part of the New Testament canon, Revelation’s depiction of the heavenly woman completes the biblical Marian material.” Click on the link on my Bio for complete Article #catholiclife #catholicgifts #feastofassumption #assumption #vaticano #popefrancisuae #catholiccompany #catholicconnect #jcharismaonlinestore https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6ucAhjhpw/?igshid=mgz88jolwgfw

Does Catholic Social Teaching Change? By Mark Brumley (An excerpt from his new booklet, "20 Answers: Catholic Social Teaching") 📆Saturday, 08-08-2020 Like the rest of Catholic teaching, the fundamentals of Catholic social teaching are permanently relevant and unchanging. They reflect the unchanging truth about man. They are part of the fullness of divine revelation Jesus brought to us as God’s definitive Word. “You shall not murder” could not have been a true moral principle in the year 120 but today be wrong. “You shall not steal” couldn’t have been true a hundred years ago but be false today. The essentials of human nature remain the same. God’s plan for humanity remains the same. So Catholic social teaching remains the same. Still, Catholic social teaching can change in the sense in which we say Catholic doctrine “develops.” Over time, doctrine gets clarified in various ways as new questions or challenges arise. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and in response to questions or even objections raised within the Church, the Church deepens its understanding of God’s revelation. It can put its beliefs into new language, drawing on new ideas, to better express its faith, or it can reject new ways of putting things that leave out or contradict things it believes. This process of listening to questions, responding to objections, and expressing the Church’s faith in specific language is part of the development of doctrine. Over time, it is possible for the Church’s beliefs, while remaining fundamentally the same, to develop or change in how they are expressed, with some implications of those beliefs, perhaps previously unrecognized, being spelled out and some ways of presenting ideas once thought helpful being dropped. What is true of Catholic teaching in general is true of Catholic social teaching in particular. Catholic social teaching, while remaining fundamentally the same, can develop. The Church can come to see better the social implications of its beliefs.

At 12:00midnight of 10 January, 2002, at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Chapel, Imeziowa, in our adoration prayer, during this our, I saw a vision of our Lady descending from the cloud without numerous cherubim of heaven.

May the peace of my immaculate heart flow into your souls to clear the evil worries of the world in your souls and give you true peace. May the light of my presence here give you calmness of heart and open your eyes and mind to the true meaning of the mysteries of Silence. I say to you all again, peace from heaven be with you. Children, I come to teach you a little about the mysteries of Silence. To you the living, silence is a mystery. To the saints in heaven, it is the greatest adoration to the Almighty God. Listen to this lesson: in the begining of all things, the presence of the Almighty God dwelth in Silence. This great silence revealed the great mystery of creation. Silence was the light, which inflamed the love of God to make the universe and create man. After creation, silence lived with God in heaven. Children, silence dwells there and will dwell there forever. Eternal father loves this great silence because it was the first companion before creation. All who want to dwell with him must love this great friend of the eternal father, the great silence. In silence, you find the presence of the eternal father. His presence dwells in silence forever.

The video below shows a man who attempted to bomb a Catholic priest from St. Isidro Labrador Parish who was blessing the local residents in the city of Mascupana , Mexico with the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday, 14th June, 2020 but got himself blown instead. The priest can be seen in the red vehicle carrying the Monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament, closely followed by the bomber in the smaller vehicle.

2020➖ Day 184 of 366 Day 3 of Precious ❣️Blood Novena 📆Friday, 03-07-2020 THEME: All Precious Treasures are Hidden in the Thorny way of Life During this Hour, I saw a vision of the Holy face of Jesus Christ, which emanated from the blessed sacrament. The agonizing Jesus calmly said; "My children, learn this lesson and be faithful to your God. Look! Rose flower is the most beautiful flower on earth, yet it has thorns. For anyone to get the beautiful flower, he must pass through the thorns. I say, he will suffer many difficulties before he can pluck the rose or even touch the petal. See again, my children, bees produce sweet honey and have powerful sting to protect their valuable honey. If anyone must collect the sweet honey, he must first defeat the painful sting of the bees. Children, no valuable thing under the sun is kept in an easy place. Even my father when he chose to redeem the old Israelites, he chose the desert way for them. To possess the promised land, they passed through the red sea of great terror. In the desert they suffered many trials. When they moved to capture the land they fought many battles. Children, I say, there is no valuable thing in that place of pleasure and enjoyment. There is no valuable thing in that easy way of life. All the precious treasures of heaven, are hidden in the thorny way of life. See, I chose the Calvary way, the way of sorrow, the bloody way, full of pains and agony, for your salvation. There is no other way of salvation I found, than the painful way of salvation. Children, do not reject the Calvary. Though the way is painful, the end is full of happiness. Children, to attain the valuable state of perfection, I have given you a precious rose flower that is being protected by the thorn of its branches. Anyone who must pluck this rose of purity must suffer the pains of the thorns of the rose. When you read the message of purity, you will see the thorny way of perfection I am teaching you now.

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣➖Day 184 of 366 Day 2 of Precious ❣️ Blood Novena 📆Thursday, 02-07-2020 THEME: I WELCOME YOU ALL INTO THE OCEAN OF MY LOVE Today being the opening day of the five days and nights of reparation prayer for the month of September, in our prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision, Divine Light, which shone out from the blessed sacrament, exposed on the altar. There appeared that agonizing Jesus hanging alive on the cross. Precious blood poured out from the wounds. After a while cloud came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Holy Face of Jesus christ, who calmly said, "My beloved children, I welcome you into the ocean of my love. You are blessed to escape the bonds and burdens of this iniquituous world to be in my presence. Peace be to your souls. Peace be to your wounded hearts that share my agony. Peace be to your troubled beings. I say peace to you my children. As I had reminded my son Barnabas, in the desert, I am reminding you all to throw away your humanity, which you are carrying in your hearts. I say throw away the burden of humanity, my children, so that you can learn my lessons. I called you to renew this sinful world. See, I have given you the rise of perfect purity. I want to you gather the petals of this rose that are scattered everywhere in the world. In these days, I will like you to learn the lessons of the saints and live by them. These are the petals I called you to gather. Pick them; do not neglect them. I will allow you to learn the lessons of the Holy rose well; so the messages I will give you will be by 2:00am. everyday of this reparation programme. Children, let nothing take away your sprit. Let nothing disturb you from gathering this holy rose of purity. I say, be humble, so that my graces and blessings will be of use. I bless you all in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Remain in my peace." Immediately, the vision passed. This was Jesus' second message of the first lesson on 11th September, 2001, at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Chapel, Imeziowa. #jcharismaonlinestore #bloodofjesus #jesuslovesyou #catholiclife #catholiccompany https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJVmnPDlNm/?igshid=bct5ehh3d789

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣➖ Day 183 of 366 Day 1 of Precious ❣️ Blood Novena 📆Wednesday, 01-07-2020 First Message of the First Lesson: Date: 📆Thursday, 01-03-2001 Time🕧: 12:30pm Venue: Desert of Mount Carmel, Olo. Theme: The Importance of Interior Life. During this hour, our Lord appeared to me in a vision and said: "My son, the knowledge of heaven is the hope of eternal life. The love of God is the ladder to heaven. Those whom their humanity overburdens cannot understand the mysteries of love. You cannot hear the voice of the spirit within your soul because you are nearer to your true living being. (Truly, I understand clearly the lesson of the sprit within my soul). A pure soul sees clearly the meaning of life, and lives in true joy. 'Remain closer and closer to your true living being'. Listen to the voice of your soul and learn about heaven. I leave you not to disturb your lesson. I bless you". Immediately, the vision passed, and there was a heaven rainfall That was Jesus' message in a vision to Bro Barnabas Nyowe. Jesus talked about what matters most having a pure soul, in order that we can come to understand the true meaning of life, and live a life of true joy. In John 15, Jesus said, "I have said all these that your joy may be complete" asking his disciples to remain in him, bearing fruits and never be cut off. We must through away the burden of our humanity and accept or shoulder the York of Christ, which easy and light. #mostpreciousblood #mostpreciousblood #jcharismaonlinestore #preciousblood #catholicgifts #catholiclife #iamromancatholic #romancatholicchurch #catholiccompany #catholichomeschool https://www.instagram.com/p/CCG-8nmD6hN/?igshid=uccttxeqp0kh
