I received a prophecy for my son, and I was wondering what am I suppose to do with it if anything? Am I suppose to report it to the vatican? Follow the instructions(of course)? Has anyone else received this tremendous blessing before? Also if you’ve read my forum saints working in our lives under St. Therese of Liseux then you know this isn’t the first “call” from our Lord. But I’m just wondering is there something I’m suppose to be doing with all these blessings? When we received the prophecy I wasn’t planning to go see the guest speaker at church but at my mother-in-laws insistence I went, and Brendan Case who is called a modern day prophet came up to me and my infant son and said

God revealed this through Brendan Case for my son on September 14, 2009

“The Lord will say this, behold I shall glorify my name in this my son. Raise him to walk in humility, for teach him to be simple and to not desire the things of this Earth, for I will give him much more than things that are here today and gone tomorrow. Humility will be the hallmark of his life, behold my name will be holy within him.”

Does anyone know what I’m suppose to do with these?

Dear one,

I don’t know about anyone else, but I did a bit of research on this guy, and he seems to be one of those people that St. Paul tells us about in 2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

I really think that you should just forget anything he said, and go about your daily life, trying to teach all your children to grow up in the admonition of the Lord.

As far as the prophecy over your son, it is just so vague that it doesn’t mean anything. It’s like the fortune in fortune cookies, or like the daily horoscope in countless newspapers around the world.
 
That’s been my stance all along that all my children are a gift from god, and we will try to raise them all in the Lord, I just wanted to get others advice on this matter, I will take it to our priest, thanks so much to those who have helped.
 
You don’t have to ‘do’ anything about this prophecy (if it really is prophecy). Private revelation is private, not to be publicized. You don’t have to tell anyone else about it, certainly not the vatican!

Actually a prophet isn’t primarily someone who tell the future; it’s someone who calls others to follow God. The advice given is OK but not extraordinary. You could raise all your kids that way.

What this man said certainly doesn’t mean that your son is in some way higher than your daughters. If the man had seen them, he might have said something similar about them. Anyway, leave this in God’s hands. Don’t put any unrealistic expectations on your son. If this was true, you will find out in the future.

If your husband’s family is giving you a hard time, it might be a good idea to talk this over with a priest you trust.
 
It might be safe to look at it this way… If GOD had a message for your son he has

Angels at His beckon call… so I don’t think He needs any human to deliver them.
 
HeavensFlowers…Bless your heart …you received validation from someone outside your family of what you already know- your child is a child of God-as are all your children-and a gift from God to you…it doesn’t matter who it came from or through- it is a validation of God’s love… children don’t belong to us- they are given to us in trust from God…He just took the opportunity to make you aware of it-this is how God works…even though I have a very personal relationship with God and His Son Jesus and deal direct…it was a very pleasant surprise when a woman came up to me in a crowd and placed a small rose quartz in my hand and said- this is a symbol of God’s love while you are helping all these other people…those affirmations are to strengthen your faith that God is personally involved and nothing goes unnoticed… that God’s existence is not just rhetoric and words in old books… know God loves all of you-He used your son to make you and your family aware of his voice and get your attention- forget the nay sayers- it’s the fruits of the spirit that tells you what you are dealing with-and this is all about God’s love-and it could just as easily come from a stranger on the street…(((hugs))) God Bless
 
For those upset with my post. Really read it, like it’s just some piece of advice, not a prophesy, it essentially sais exactly what I interpreted it to be, it’s not me making the statement, just writing it out in plain english.

I do have to back up what Frbrendan stated, it’s clearly drawn way too much attention, something itchy ears want to hear, for it’s different and seemingly new or mystical which has strong appeal on our pop style culture as it currently is.
 
Prodigalson- what you said was hurtful and unnecessary…and you and several others should ask yourselves why you reacted that way to those words… it is not even a prophecy-but rather a blessing and validation of God’s plan and desire for all His children- to be raised to know humility and not put value on the material things in life-to put God first in all things-…the way it was presented to them was distorted by ego a little- God wasn’t saying the child was the messiah-but rather was opening a dialogue with them to work on a personal relationship with God by starting this child on the path to God the right way-and in doing so the rest of the family will strive to meet the same expectations…and a little child shall lead them…👍

The OP said it was a prophecy and makes a big deal out of it and the thread is predicated on that.
Beware of false prophets!

I have to wonder how many real prophets were spat upon and even killed by those who were simply and piously bewarying of false ones.

The message posted is very benign and proper to anyone. Call it prophesy or call it good counsel, it hardly should matter.

Neither does He need for anyone to try to limit how He does things, or to whom He enlists as His messengers.

The following is from a Catholic Blog…

I think he is a little rough around the edges at times: for example, he spoke quite loudly at times, he was often “in our face,” if you will, he unnecessarily swore in church to make a point, and confused people with some opinions about Catholic verses Protestant translations of the bible. I do also plan to write him soon and recommend that in future parish missions, he not begin exposition of the Blessed Sacrament until he is done with his speaking

slatts.blogspot.com/2004/10/bulletin-article-re-brendan-case.html

The article goes on to say people who were prayed over began speaking in tongues
which ofcourse no one could understand…

For what I’ve read so far this runs the flag up the pole pretty high

I disagree. It makes a big difference if the OP believes it is a prophecy rather than simple good advice. That’s why she opened the thread.
 
…as I said earlier- ego stepped in and distorted it a little- it apparently overwhelmed them that this was directed at their family before really contemplating what was actually being said- these words are not new so they are not prophecy-these are words that should ring in all our ears as the Holy Spirit writes them on our hearts-the fact that they were verbalized with this little one as the focus is a reminder to the family… -and now to all of us what God expects of us in this world-it is what He asked of each of His disciples…as far as trying to diminish the words by discrediting the messenger is uncalled for- they are good words and bear good fruit …the important thing is not to lose the message just because you don’t agree with the delivery system…even if this were a man that speaks trash the rest of the time(which has not been proven- only that he appears to be passionate and demonstrative in his methods)- … these words were not…

Well written. I’m not interested in whether the good and noble and uplifting words directed to the particular family were prophesy or not, but the rush to judgmentalism regarding the speaker in question is a concern. Maybe they’re using Ouiji boards or something, which would explain it. 😉

Stylites-…well intentioned but fear based-… thankfully we are All works in progress…👍

Hey, cool it, it’s just an interpretation of what was said, nothing more, not a personal statement or opinion of mine of any kind, that’s all, and if you don’t get it, you are only wanting to create an argument. That said, some of the most simple people I know, are the happiest and I have a very good friend that’s not all that bright, but he has a great big heart and not a shred of malice in his bones. He’s a genuine friend that I respect and care for like a brother.
 
…I’m certainly glad you saw your dear and special friend in those words- your words to the mother however , were offensive and you have to own that- they came out of your mouth…a simple apology with your explanation would have been enough…thanks for the explanation -at least it shows you didn’t mean to be cruel…

It wasn’t meant to be crewl, it was meant to say what was originally said in a different format, plain English. It is not in agreement with what was said, it is in no way endorsing what was said, nor is it my opinion. Get it??? Any more comment on the matter, clearly shows you only want to argue, I absolutely do not, but I will not sit by and be berated for my observation of interpretation.
 
Be at peace with this now- you have more than explained yourself…
