Im starting to un-follow friends (not delete them) that post disturbing photos and videos because it takes me several weeks to pray through it. I know what those who suffer these horrors are going through and I suffer with them through it. At the same time Im glad I know about these situations because it forces me to pray for them and for those in similar horrors. But please make sure to post that prayers and intercession is needed for these situations and then post what the situation is without showing the horror of the video or photo so that you do not inadvertently spread the darkness associated with it. At least this is what I do so that others are not drawn into the darkness of the situation as I am. But this is where I am and others may not understand my point of view. That is ok. I am just forewarning everyone that this darkness is spreading and is going to get much worse. Do not be afraid. Just as when the sun is setting and the darkness begins to fall we need not fear. The moon shines in the night and just so, Our Lady, who is seen as the moon for she completely reflects the Light of the Sun when darkness comes, comes in the darkness to aid us and guide us back to the Light that once guides us during the day. Do not fear as the darkness grows either for the darkest hour is the one just before the sun begins to rise again. We must go through this (unless society rapidly turns back to God) for this is, for many, the only way for them to wake up from their slumber and come back to their senses before it is too late. It is a time of purification and repentance, a time of the new evangelization and for our lights to shine even more brightly than before! The Light shines more profoundly in darkness and draws many towards it when all seems lost and hopeless just as ships lost at sea and in danger of crashing against the rocks are always focused on the Lighthouse to guide them to safety and back to calm waters. Our Lady is the Woman clothed with the Sun and it is time to turn to her and seek her protection. “We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God’s Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously…” Karol Cardinal Wojtyla, Notable & Quotable, Wall Street Journal (Nov.9, 1978), 30.
