Hi everyone,

Before I continue typing I apologize if this is the wrong section of the forums regarding this topic or if any information below is false, because I posted a thread regarding this topic in another forum, however I think “Spirituality” may be the correct section. Also, I apologize if this post is uncomfortable to read, however remember that suffering can be offered as a beautiful prayer to the Lord :).

As many of you may know, Our Lady’s warnings seem to be true today. For example, same-sex marriage, war on religion, lack of reverance towards the Eucharist, lukewarmness of the Faith, contraception, a liberal approach to the Faith, euthanasia, abortion, and much, much more.

Despite all of this, there are many positive things that have occured during this wonderful Year of Faith and New Evangelization.

Although many positive things have occured, I still seem very fearful of the future.

Earlier this year I posted a thread regarding much fear that overcame me after learning more of Our Lady’s warnings, however I have been much more optimistic about the Second Coming of Our Blessed Lord. Also, how wonderful and calming it is to know of Our Lady has a beautiful and loving intercession :D.

Even though I have been more optimistic about the Second Coming of Our Blessed Lord, much fear always overcomes me when I research Our Lady’s warnings. Possibly I conclude this fear is for the souls that are in a state of mortal sin, because it is very, very dangerous for a soul to be in a state of mortal sin :(.

A priest mentioned to me I need to remain very careful when I study Our Lady’s warnings, the Divine Mercy, or any of the twentieth century canonized Saints.

As a young person, it seems very difficult to discern and evangelize correctly, safely, and without confusion in these times. Whenever a situation approaches a young person in these times the best conclusion I find is to remain calm and then judge how to approach the situation. Have any of you been very confused regarding how to evangelize or discern in these times? Although it is confusing as to how a person should approach a situation regarding evangelization or discernment, Our Lady once said that when all hope seems lost, that is when a person understands how to approach a situation.

I am not sure, however one time Our Lady revealed how many souls were being lost to a Venerable person I think, and she was so upset that she fell unconcious. I fear for so many souls, and I love everyone so much I do not want a single person to lose his or her soul :(.

Although none of us know when Our Lord will Return, it seems so evident Our Lord and Our Lady are hinting that it may be soon. Our Lord may not Return for thousands of years, or He may Return tomorrow, the best conclusion I always come to is to remain calm and do as much as possible for Him.

I apologize if this is off-topic, however I listened to a tape recording of a hole in Siberia that is said to be audio of Hell. I do not like to assume, however I think the tape recording is most likely hoax. Does anyone know if the tape recording of a hole in Siberia that is said to be audio of Hell is authentic?

Whenever I tell someone about Our Lady’s warnings and that it is something to be taken very, very seriously they seem to understand but acts as if everyone is going to be saved :(. I become so confused as to why they may not remain very, very serious about Our Lady’s warnings :confused:. Also, I become very confused when someone is afraid to evangelize the Faith, because the Faith contains Truths that are incapable of being defeated :confused:. By reading reflections of the experience’s of the Saints visiting Hell fills me with much fear for souls in a state of mortal sin.

I do not desire for anyone to go to Hell, and I think Our Lady’s warnings need to be taken very, very seriously.

Overall, I pray and hope one day we are all beautiful Saints in Heaven dwelling in the eternal happiness, joy, and love, praising Him forever and ever :D!

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.

Thank you,

God bless,

In Christ,

Golden
 
Perfect faith drives out fear. What lies ahead for us is only the birth pangs (Matthew 24 - entire chapter). We must focus always and everywhere, on what lies beyond the door to eternal life. Remember that Peter only began to sink when he took his eyes off of Jesus and was worried about the wind (Matthew 14:28-31). As to whether or not we will withstand what is coming, we know that we can do all things through Him Who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). As well, we have the consolation of the Holy Spirit, who casts out fear, as He did with the Apostles at the Pentecost (Acts 2). Take heart!

Which reminds me of my favorite verse: **John 16:33 ** “In this world, you will have tribulation. But, take heart, for I have overcome this world.”

Keep doing what you are doing and trust in God’s Mercy! 👍

Specifically offer this as part of your Rosary intention. I would however pray that “Everyone choose to Love God” thereby exercising their free will in choosing to Love God will by extention avoid Hell and not simply a pray that no one go to Hell. :cool:
