Educate yourself on the message of the Marian apparitions, such as the one at Fatima that predicted the Holocaust and Kibeho, Rwanda that predicted the Rwandan Genocide. If the New York Times will report on the Virgin apparitions at Kibeho, Rwanda before the genocide,

Then, knowing what it is that the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary wants you to do: pray for a spiritual director and seek to live out the life of the Gospel. Read on the saints such as St. Therese of Liseux, called by some
“the greatest saint of modern times”, who Mother Teresa, originally named Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, renamed herself after: Her autobiography is called: * The Story of a Soul *
gutenberg.org/etext/16772 . Although she died in aa Carmelite nun at 24 of tuberculosis, she is reported to have said,
“I have reached the point of not being able to suffer any more because all suffering is sweet to me” and on St. Faustina: Divine Mercy in My Soul,
saint-faustina.com/Diary/DMIMS1.shtml , from whom, if I am not mistaken in my stupid ignorance, comes the Divine Mercy chaplet:
ewtn.com/Devotionals/mercy/dmmap.htm. I am only an ignorant, blind, stupid, weak fool so my opinion can be safely ignored

She is one that sought, not only to do God’s will, but to do God’s
“pure will”
As well as on St. Maximilian Maria, who studied philosophy, theology, mathematics, and physics as a college student, before earning a doctorate in philosophy and a doctorate in theology in Rome, while suffering from tuberculosis. He became a priest, changed his name to Maria from Kolbe to venerate the Immaculate Heart of Mary, sheltered 2,000 Jews in his friary during the Holocaust, and when taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp offered to die in place of another man since that man had family and he did not as an abstinent fiar. During his time in the cell, he led the men in songs and prayer. Finally, after three weeks of dehydration and starvation, he was injected with carbolic acid and died. He is reported on the Jewish Virtual Library as Righteous Among the Nations. It shows that no matter how dire the situation God can continue to strengthen us.

Receive the Lord in the Eucharist OFTEN!!! We are very lucky to have this gift to receive often. Some people in third-world countries cannot even if they want to
