Thanks to all who have been following this blog and all of those who are about to come. Let me make it clear that no one knows when the final days will be, not even the Son, but only the Father. All we have to do is to “Keep our Eyes Fixed on the Prize” who is none other than Jesus. There is no amount of money, possessions, power or prestige that we will be taking with us when we die. So why are we running around like hamsters in squirrel cages to gain these things which will all be rubbish in the end? It will profit us nothing! That is why we should spend daily prayer time with our Master. If we cannot do that, then we must try to think of Him as we go about our daily...

At times the Lord puts it in my heart to write about different subjects. Would anyone know what the title refers to? Yes, the tongue is referred to by Jesus as a two edged sword. Just think about it. Just one hurtful word can help destroy a person’s self-worth while just one kind word or even a smile can make a person’s day. Think of this. When a word leaves your mouth, it can never be recalled. Therefore, we should always pray that the Holy Spirit gives us the right words to speak. I would suggest that if you have a Bible that you would begin reading the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is where you will learn to develop a close relationship with the Lord. God bless you all for all of the kind words you have written to me. Sincerely in Christ,...

This author is finally back after a long absence from writing my blog. I had to have neck surgery and then I had to go to a rehabilitation facility. It has just been a long road to recovery. We all have to be the hands, feet and suffering servants of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I continue to be in a great deal of pain, but that is par of the course for me. What is happening all over the United States? Raleigh, North Carolina was hit by sixty-two tornadoes! So much damage and desolation as was the case in several other states. The airport in St. Louis suffered major damage as did the airport in New York. Why don’t we listen to what the Lord is trying to tell us? Damage and destruction everywhere! Can we imagine what the End Times will be like? We must pray as a nation and as a country that God’s Hand will be held back from the destruction that is due us...

Many of us may not even know or understand what Armageddon means. According to the dictionary it is defined as, “the place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil (probably so called in reference to the battlefield of Megiddo. Rev. 16:16).” As I watched the news and saw the devastation in Japan, one news reporter said the scene looked like something out of the Apocalypse. How close are we to the end times? Perhaps St. Matthew says it best in Chapter 24;verses 7 and 8,”7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Are you prepared for that last day when all will be turmoil and chaos? Can you not see the signs of the times? There have been so many natural disasters – fires, earthquakes, floods, droughts, famines…. How else can Jesus gain our attention? His Heart cries out and He finds no solace. The author of this blog firmly believes that there is a remnant of the faithful who are praying that this terrible day will not come. If it does, and it will, the faithful will be part of the remnant that will be snatched up to Heaven and will avoid the wrath to come. Will you be one of...

My heart goes out to the Japanese people as they have just experienced the devastating earthquake that measured 8.9 on the Richter Scale followed by the twenty foot wall of water that rushed in and carried debris and people away. My people, these are all pointing to the signs of Armageddon. The End Times are upon us. Are we blind that we cannot read the signs of the times? We are enduring earthquakes all over the world, floods, wild fires that char hundreds and thousands of acres and burning up homes that lie in their path! So many people believe in no God and no devil. Church attendance has dropped off. The devil is having his last field day. Soon he will be chained by the Lord Almighty and thrown into the everlasting pit of fire. Our Blessed Mother, Mary, weeps to see all that is happening upon the Earth. Confess your sins in your heart for we “know not the day nor the hour”. Let us form an army for Our Lord for the forces of Evil are at work. Let us stand with Jesus as the apocalypse nears. We must all be prepared to endure suffering and even martyrdom for the Lord as He gave His Life so readily for...

Alone in the Desert I realize I may be veering off the subject somewhat, but I thought this may be a good time to add one of my very first experiences in the Carmelite Monastery. Sometimes my heart still longs to be there because it was there where I felt closest to the Lord Jesus. However, no matter what state of life we happen to be in, we can still cultivate that close relationship with Him. I entered the Monastery of Discalced Carmelites in Anywhere, U.S.A. in August of 1969. Little did I know that the Lord was going to place a great cross upon my shoulders. Mine is a story about the will and determination of the soul to go on no matter how the odds are stacked against her. Shortly after I entered the monastery I began to get sick. As the days wore on, my throat became sorer and my glands became swollen. When I went to kneel down and kiss the floor before entering the chapel as was our custom, I felt that my throat was going to pop out of my neck and that my head was going to explode. At that point I did not know what to do. Should I wait it out until it passed or should I go to the mother prioress and tell her that I was sick? I finally decided to say something to the mother prioress because I was getting no better. The doctor was called in to the monastery to see me. He examined me and felt that I had a generalized infection and prescribed injections...
