LUCIA REVEALS THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA

You may be inspired by this message and perhaps inspire others to change:
 October 30, 2008 -Sr. Lucia of Jesus and of  the Immaculate Heart
 Nationality:  Portuguese
 Born:  3-28-1907,  Aljustrel, Portugal
  Died:   2-13-2005-(aged 97)
 Convent of Carmelitas
 Coimbra, Portugal

  
   Regardless of whatever Creed or Religion, it is better to be
   prepared and  be in good terms with GOD,...who created us;
    for we never know when we will be leaving this world.....
                         LAST SECRET OF FATIMA
 The Church has given  permission to reveal to the people   the last part
of the message.  The Blessed Virgin appeared to three children in Fatima,
Portugal
, in 1917........ this is a proven fact;one of these children was
Lucia, (died 2-13-05)
She was a cloistered nun, and lived in a monastery in Portugal.
Lucia disclosed the message for the first time;  to Pope Pius Xll  who,
after reading , sealed it and stored it away without making it public.
Later Pope John XXIII read it and, in the same manner as his predecessor,
he kept it out of the public eye because he knew
that once revealed; it would bring desperation and panic to mankind,

But now the time has come, and permission has been granted from Pope John
Paul II
 to reveal it to the children of God;........ . ........ not to
create panic, but to make God's people aware of this important message
and be prepared.
The Virgin told Lucia:
'Go, my child,
and tell the world what will come to pass during the 1950's - 2000's. Men
are not practicing the Commandments that God has given us. Evil is
governing the world and is harvesting hate and resentment  all over. Men
will  fabricate mortal weapons that will destroy the world
in  minutes!.... .. where half of the human race will be destroyed.
The war will begin against Rome, and there will be conflicts amongst
religious orders...... .....
God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold,
water, fire, floods, earthquakes, winds and inclement weather to slowly
batter the planet.
These happenings will come to pass before the year 2010.!!!!
 "For those who don't/won't believe..... . . this is the time.....
 Your beloved mother told
you:-
 ..........those lacking charity towards others, in words & deeds and
those who do not love their neighbour like my beloved Son has loved you
all ....... cannot survive! They will wish to have died.

God will punish severely those who do not believe in him, those who
despise him and those who did not have time for him."
 'I call upon all of  you to come to my son Jesus Christ.
God will help the world, but all of those who do not show fidelity and
loyalty will be destroyed!'
Father Agustin, who lives in Fatima, said that Pope Paul VI
gave him permission to visit Sister Lucia,a cloistered nun (she did not
leave the monastery nor was allowed to receive any visitors). Father
Agustin said that she received him greatly overwhelmed and told him:
'Father, Our Lady is very sad
because nobody is interested in her prophecy
of 1917,  though the righteous are walking through a narrow path, the
evil ones are walking through an ample road that is leading them straight
to their destruction! Believe me, Father, the punishment will come very
soon.  'Many souls will be  lost and many nations will disappear from the
earth.
But, in the middle of all these, if men reflect, pray and practice
sincerity, good deeds, kindness and respect, the world can be
saved....... . .. However, if men persist with evil ways....greed, hatred,
selfish acts, rivalry, and rif, the world will be lost forever!.
The time has come for all  to pass on the message of our Blessed Lady to
their families, friends, and to the entire world.
Continue praying, make penitence and sacrifices. We are close to the last
minute of the last day and the catastrophes are near. Due to this, many
that were
far from the Church will return to the open arms of the Church of Jesus
Christ.
The joining of the churches will result in one Holy Catholic and
Apostolic Church; ........England, Russia, China, Jews, Buddhists,
Muslims, Hindus,Protestants, etc...... All will return believing and
worshipping God our Creator, in his beloved Son and in Blessed Mother
Virgin Mary.'
                                   WHAT AWAITS US???
Everywhere there will be 'Peace Talks', but punishment will come.
A MAN IN A VERY  IMPORTANT POSITION WILL BE ASSASSINATED AND THIS WILL
PROVOKE THE WAR.
A POWERFUL ARMY WILL DOMINATE ALL THROUGH EUROPE AND THE NUCLEAR WAR WILL
COMMENCE.

This war will destroy everything; darkness will fall over us for 72 hours
(3 days) and the one
third of humanity that survives this obscurity and sacrifice, will
commence to live a new era; they will be good people.

On a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, A GREAT QUAKE will
shake the earth  for 8 hours. This will be the third signal that God Is,
who governs the earth.
The righteous and those who propagate the faith and the message of the
Lady of  Fatima is :
  'ONE SHOULD NOT FEAR, DO NOT BE AFRAID'.

  WHAT TO DO??? : Bow your heads, kneel down and ask God for
forgiveness.  Because, only what is good and is not under the power of
evil
will survive the catastrophe.
In order for you to prepare and remain alive and safe, I will give you
the following signs:
ANGUISH...... ... AND IN A SHORT PERIOD THE EARTHQUAKE WILL COMMENCE...
THE EARTH
WILL SHAKE.....

The  shake will be so violent that will move the earth
23 degrees and then it will return it to its normal position..
Then, total and absolute darkness will cover the entire planet....
All the evil spirits will  be mingling around and free, doing harm to all
those souls that did not want to listen to this message and those who did
not want to repent.

To the faithful souls, remember to light the blessed candles,
prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD
and implore for His infinite mercy....
All will be dark; and IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS
will appear to remind us the price that his beloved Son had to pay for
our redemption.. ...
In the house the only thing that can give light will be the
HOLY CANDLES... Once lit, nothing will put them off until the three days
of darkness
are over.  Also, you should have holy water that should be
sprinkled abundantly on windows and doors. The Lord will protect the
property of the chosen ones....
Kneel down before the powerful cross of my beloved Son, pray the Rosary
and after each Hail Mary you must pray the following:

'Oh God forgive us our sins, preserve us from the fires of hell, take all
souls to heaven, especially those who are in more need of thy mercy.
Blessed Virgin Mary, protect us, we love you, save us and save the
world'.
Pray 5 Creeds and  the Rosary which is the secret to my
immaculate Heart. All those who believe in my words go and take the
message to everyone,

DO NOT FEAR!  FEAR NOTHING DURING THE LORD'S GREAT DAY.
Talk to all, now that there is time. Those who keep quiet will be
responsible for all those souls who will perish in ignorance.
All those who pray humbly the rosary will have the protection of heaven.
Those who are bound to die, I will help them die in peace, and they will
be holy when they
enter the other world.
I wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first
Saturday of each month; to confess and receive Holy Communion; and in
doing so, save the world from its TOTAL DESTRUCTION. ..!!
When the earth shakes no more, those who still do not believe in our Lord
will perish in a horrible way:-
The wind will bring gas and it will disperse it everywhere, then the sun
will rise.
                    Maybe you will survive this catastrophe.
Do not forget that God's punishment is holy and
ONCE IT HAS STARTED YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
!!!!
GOD DOES NOT WANT ANY OF HIS GOOD CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE
SINNERS..... ......... ....
All this encompasses with the  writings of the Holy
Scriptures.. ....
 Read on the New Testament: Lucas  21
- 5:121, 12:19, 20:20,
29:33   Letters of St Paul 3 - 8 - 14 Isaiah 40, 1:5:9.
You must understand that God allows all this to happen. The Pope
and Bishops are now awaiting another message that speaks
about repentance and prayer. Please remember that God's words are not a
threat, .......... but good news.....
Please reproduce these pages and send them to all you know so we all can
have the opportunity to repent and be saved.

We do not know if those receiving this message believe or not in
GOD,....but just think that, if you are receiving this message it is for
a good reason!!.. from God who created us and loves us so much!

Our Creator is giving us the chance to be saved, no matter  what religion
or creed we may be. If you don't believe in this message, at least send
it to others, it costs you nothing.
To all those receiving it, they can have the opportunity to judge and
decide for themselves.
Remember, we can avoid a great deal of evil if we practice the
Commandments that Our Loving Father God gave us.... Just 10 simple ways,
that if we all put into practice we can obtain God's pardon.

Amen.

"CROWN OF ROSES"

I never came to a point asking myself "why do I need to pray the HOLY ROSARY?", because in the first place I am a catholic and all Catholics must know how to pray the rosary. I started praying the Rosary when I was in High School because we were taught how to do it. I came from an RVM school which is ruled by nuns, RVM stands for the Religious of the Virgin Mary, a religious congregation founded by Venerable Ignacia del Espiritu Santo. Our school is not just an academically oriented school but also a spiritually directed place for learning. Anyway, too much for my academic history stuff. Like any other people, I also have reasons why I pray the Rosary. I am not a religious man, you don't have to be religious for you to qualify praying the rosary but keep in mind that when you pray the rosary, your intentions but be sincere so that it will be heard by God through the intercession of Mama Mary.


THE HOLY ROSARY
"Say the Rosary every day...
Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners...
I'm Our Lady of the Rosary.
Only I will be able to help you.
...In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph.
Our Lady of Fatima

With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary.n every apparition (a ghostly appearing figure), the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace.

As I have mentioned in the first paragraph, our intentions must be sincere. Intentions are the reasons why we pray the Rosary. Read the list below as an example:

  • For forgiveness. To ask for forgiveness and to be forgiving.
  • For world peace, respect for human life and for a strong family relationship.
  • For the propagation of God's love and Mercy and to increase our Catholic faith.
  • For our religious brothers and sister (priests and nuns) that they may continue to serve God faithfully.
  • For more man and women who would want to follow Christ and serve Him. (Increase of vocation for priest and nuns).
  • For peace and order of our Country, for our Gov't. Leaders, so that they may be totally converted to God.

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY
 
  • Recite a Hail Mary for an increase of faith, hope and charity on each of the three small beads.
  • Recall the first Rosary Mystery and recite the Our Father on the large bead.
  • On each of the adjacent ten small beads (also refered to as a decade) recite a Hail Mary while reflecting on the mystery.
  • On the next large bead, recite the Glory Be to the Father, the Fatima prayer.
  • Each succeeding decade is prayed in a similar manner by recalling the appropriate mystery, reciting the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be to the Father, and the Fatima prayer while reflecting on the mystery.
  • When the fifth mystery is completed, the Rosary is Customarily concluded with the Hail Holy Queen, and the Sign of the Cross.

THE TWO NUNS



There were two nuns..
One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM),

and the other one was known as Sister Logical
(SL).

It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.
SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for
The past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.
SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.
SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes
at the most! What can we do?
SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.
SM: It's not working.
SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only
logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.
SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and
I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow
Sister Logical.














Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is
worried about what has happened to
Sister Logical.

Then
Sister Logical arrives.
SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here!
Tell me what happened!
SL: The only logical thing happened.
The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me
SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?
SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run
as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.
SM: And?
SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me.
SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?
SL: The only logical thing to do.
I lifted my dress up.
SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?
SL: The only logical thing to do.
He pulled down his pants.
 


 



SM: Oh, no! What happened then?
SL: Isn't it logical, Sister?
A nun with her dress up can run faster than man
with his pants down.

And for those of you who thought it would be dirty!!!
SAY TWO HAIL MARYS!

July 24, 2010 at 10:30pm (A night of prayer and preparation)

After having the prayer service at Cosmopolitan, we went directly to Tibungco in haste because Mommy Dadz was waiting for us (Dannie, Fern and Me). We arrived there after 45min or so and we saw Mommy Dadz and her sister waiting on the other side of the highway. We shouted "mommy dadz!" and she smiled then laughed sabay sabing "SING!". I don't know where and as to when this expression started, that I have to confirm to Fern pa. Haha. Pumunta kami ng Tibungco due to Mommy Dadz request na haharanahin namin ang kapatid niya who will be celebrating his 70th birthday kinabukasan, July 25, 2010.



We settled and rested for a while sa bahay ng kapatid ni Mommy Dads. They served us food and drinks, they were very hospitable and kind to us. They laugh at our jokes and kami lang ata ang gising nong time na yun. After eating we sat down and discussed what songs we are going to sing. I volunteered to read the Introductory part of the Liturgy/Para-liturgy, and then suggested some songs to sing for the "HARANA". Walang makikitang pagod sa mga mukha ng mga tao sa loob ng bahay, I do not know if they were just very excited for tomorrows' Harana or talagang di lang talaga sila pagod kahit maraming ginawa sa buong araw. Basta ako excited ako! Haha. First time ko kayang mangharana! We have already the songs listed in a sheet of paper, then we started to sing the songs according to its order. Napuputol lang bigla ang practice pag sumisigaw si Fern ng "SING!" in the middle of the song. Talaga nga namang nakakatawa dahil narin sa reaction ni Mommy Dads.


Si Dannie naman, pagod at inaantok pero dahil sa mga bunganga namin di siya makatulog tapos dinagdagan pa ng alarm clock na sobrang lakas dahil sa tahimik na ang paligid. Nag aalarm ba naman every hour? Haha! It was already 3:00am ng tumunog ulit ang alarm clock, "Mag 3 o'clock prayer muna tayo" sabi ni Mommy Dadz. We are devotees of the Divine Mercy kaya kami nag ti-three o'clock prayer. Apart from being a member and devotee of the DIVINE MERCY dinadasal talaga dapat ang 3o'clock prayer for all Catholics. It is very sad to know na MARAMI PARIN ANG HINDI NAKAKAALAM NG 3O'CLOCK PRAYER. "Can we do the chanting instead of just reciting the chaplet of Mercy?" sabi ko. And all of them agreed.


Before we started to pray the 3o'clock prayer and chant the chaplet of Mercy, we first gave our general and personal intentions. It took, I think almost an hour for us to finish the entire prayer. Marami kasi kaming mga intentions, not only for ourselves but for others too. We haven't noticed the time, 4:30am na pala. "Dannie maligo kana at ako na ang sususod" sabi ko. Pagkatapos naming maligo lahat, nagmamadali na kaming umalis kasi alas singko (5:00am) na kaya! When the sun rises, parang wala na ang essence ng Harana. Haha. Dumating kami sa bahay ni Kuya William, anak ni Tito Tiago.


Sa bahay kasi ng anak niya isi-celebrate ang birthday niya. We started to sing the first song, THE BIRTHDAY SONG of course! Medyo matagal kaming pinagbuksan, mga halos kalahating oras yata yun. Lahat ng dumadaan na kapitbahay nila tumitingin sa amin, pero pinagpatuloy parin namin ang pag kanta. Hay! Sa wakas! Pinagbuksan din kami ng dawalang babae, pinapasok kami habang patuloy kaming kumakanta.


I read the introductory part of the Liturgy after singing all the songs, and then Mommy Dadz for the next part of the Liturgy, then Dannie for the Gospel reading. Fern was tasked to play the guitar. Of course ako sa vocals and Fern too. Haha. We offered prayers and wishes to Tito Tiago. After the prayer and the Liturgy they served us food again, wooh kainan na naman! Alas 7:00 na ng umaga.


"S. Estela, ito si Carlo yong friend mo sa facebook", sabi ni Mommy Dadz. S. Estela is an RVM sister (Religious of the Virgin Mary). Marami akong kilalang RVM sisters and I also have an RVM best friend. "Ah ikaw pala si Carlo, kaya pala familiar yong mukha mo", sabi ni S. Estela sabay tawa. Dannie and Fern went to the room and sleep habang ako, nakikipag usap and nakikipag kwentuhan kay S. Estela. We shared stories of our lives, ni di nga ako nakaramdam ng antok kasi sobrang saya namin. Halos tawa lang kami ng tawa.


Lunch time na, all were gathered para kumain. The prayer was lead by a pastor, kaibigan at kapitbahay ni Kuya William. Pagkatapos dasalan ang pagkain, masaya kaming nag kakantahan ng Happy Birthday song para kay Tito Tiago. Nakikita kong napakasaya niya, mabait siya and he is also a humble servant of God nong hindi pa siya na stroke. He used to be a lay minister in a GKK or BEC. Mabait din ang asawa niya sa amin, lahat sila very accommodating. Di nga bisita ang turing nila sa amin kundi parang kapamilya na rin.


Pagkatapos ng kainan, may kantahan na naman. And take note, hindi siya basta-basta kantahan lang coz it's a live band, hindi videoke. Talagang napaksaya ng araw na yun. May inuman din, siyempre di naman talaga nawawala sa mga party ang inuman. Si Dannie nga nalasing, si Fern naman di umiinom, ako konti lang, si Mommy Dadz namumula na ang pisngi, lasing na ata eh. Haha.


Alas 5:00 na ng hapon, I asked Dannie kung mag sisimba ba siya kasi lasing na siya at parang di naman ata bagay pumasok sa simbahan ng lasing. Pero sabi niya "Gusto ko talagang magsimba, cge na tara na!". Wala kaming nagawa ni Fern kundi isama siya. Haha.. "Sister, tara simba tayo", sambit ko. "May mass ba dito Carl?" tanong ni sister. "Yes sister meron, sa Simbahan diyan sa unahan", sagot ko naman. Sabay-sabay kaming pumunta sa simbahan. Ako, si Fernan and Dannie, si S. Estela and pinsan niyang si Ate Arlene.


After the mass bumalik kami sa bahay para kumanin ng dinner. Parang doon na ata kami nag breakfast, lunch and dinner eh. Haha.. Kapal namin noh? Haha. Halos lasing na lahat ng tao pag balik naman galing ng simbahan. After the dinner, umupo kami sa sala and we watched TV, pero useless din kasi di namin marinig yong TV dahil sa lakas ng tugtog ng banda. Haha. Para kaming kumakain ng matabang na ice cream. Haha. Past 8:00pm na, I asked S. Estela, "Uuwi na tayo sister?". Sinabi ko kasi sa kanya na ihahatid ko siya sa Provincial House kasi gabi na nga. "Sige Carl uuwi na tayo", sagot niya. I woke up Dannie kasi tulog na tulog after naming mag simba eh, si Fern naman is ready na, si Mommy Dadz nag hihintay lang na may magsabing uuwi na.


Nasa kanto na kami lahat, nag -aantay ng jeep. Si Danni, Mommy Dadz and anak niyang si Rose will not come with us kasi ibang route ang sasakyan nila. So naiwan silang tatlo kasi nauna na kaming sumakay ng jeep, kami nila Fern, S. Estela, ako and Ate Arlene. Sa R. Castillo kami dumaan while sila Dannie and Mommy Dadz is papuntang Buhangin. Unang bumaba si Ate Arlene tapos si Fern. Kami ni S. Estela ang huli. We arrived at the PH at around 9:30 in the evening.


Nasa labas si Kuya Angel and yong Driver ng St. Marys Tagum. Kuya Angel is the secretary of S. Dalen, stay in siya sa Provincial House kaya siya ang nagbubukas at nagsasara ng gate. Inantay ko pang pumasok si S. Estela bago ako umuwi. Pagkatapos niyang pumasok, nagkekwentuhan muna kami nila Kuya Angel and yong driver ng SMC. Balak nilang mag inuman and they invited me, I refused to go with them kasi nakakaramdam narin ako ng pagod so I went home.

HE WILL MAKE A WAY


I am so much in love with this song. It reminds me of not giving up, of trusting all to HIM for HE WILL REALLY MAKE A WAY FOR ME; for US ALL. We can't deny that sometimes we tend to lose hope, feeling of giving up and even blaming HIM for our unanswered prayers. I know that some other people are also having the same feelings like mine. But why not TRUST HIM instead, He never fails, He always fulfill His promise to us. We just have to wait, pray and of course do something to make things happen and leave the rest to GOD for HE WILL SURELY MAKE A WAY FOR US. Remember that God is always working in us, sometimes we can not see it because we were blinded by the things not pleasing to our eyes. Find time to play this song. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY.



God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today
