Dear brothers and sisters,

The Pope’s Homily at the site of Typhoon Yolanda is a touching example of the heart of a true shepherd. Here is an excerpt from Mass celebrated today in Tacloban, the site devastated 14 months ago by Typhoon Yolanda:
…Many of you have asked the Lord, “Why Lord?” And to each of you, to your heart, Christ responds from his heart upon the cross.

I have no more words to tell you. Let us look to Christ. He is the Lord. And he understands us because he underwent all the trials that we, that you have experienced.

And beside the cross was his mother. We are like this little child just there, who in moments when we have so much pain, when we no longer understand anything, all we can do is grab hold of her hand firmly, and say, Mom, as a child does to his mother when he or she feels fear. It is perhaps the only word that we can say in such difficult times: Mother, Mom.
Let us together hold a moment of silence. Let us look to Christ on the cross. He understands us because he endured everything. And let us look to our mother, and like that little child, let us grab hold of her mantle, and with a true heart, say Mother. In silence, let us say this prayer. Say to the mother what you feel in your hearts.

We are not alone. Let us know that we have a mother Mary and our great brother, Jesus. We are not alone. And we also have many brothers who in this moment of catastrophe came to help you. And we too, because of this, we feel more brothers and sisters because we helped each other.

This is what comes from my heart and forgive me if I have no other words to express this.

But please know Jesus never lets you down. Please know that the love and tenderness of Mother Mary never lets you down. And holding on to her mantle and with the power that comes from Jesus’ love on the cross, let us move forward, always forward. And walk together as brothers and sisters in the Lord, forward/QUOTE]

Keep leaning forward never turning back!

Also I thought this post by a priest on Mystics of the Church was interesting. I came upon it looking for opinions as to the validity of the content in the book "To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons by Father Stefano Gobbi.

Dear Brother,

Thanks for the link. If you have not already read the excellent article on Fr. Gobbi HERE, I encourage you and others to read it. It clarified for me some controversies about Fr. Gobbi.

Well I can’t explain this. It works on the thread " Can you watch this and not believe? " on the Philosophy Forum, it is the first post. The same link is there and it works, I just tried it.

Here is the difference (excluding the )) between the link you posted in #2 post (above):
whispersintheloggia.blogspot…storm-and.html/

And this link that works:

No biggie! It happens to everyone sooner or later in these end times 🙂
