Mag-ingat para di makuryente

POPE FRANCIS (source: charismanews.com)

Piyesta ang mga media organization na lantarang anti-Catholic kada may pronouncement si Pope Francis.

Kanya-kanya sila sa pag anggulo ng balita na pabor sa kanilang motibo.

Lalo na dito sa pinakahuling pananaw daw tungkol sa abortion at homosexuality ng Santo Papa. 

Nakikita ng media ang gusto nilang makita. At, sinusulat nila ito na sadyang may kulay para mas maraming malinlang at maligaw.

Pansinin ninyo, di lang mga international news organizations ang nag misinterpret – pati mga local media nakisawsaw.

Nagulantang tuloy sila nang malathala naman ang pag excommunicate ng Papa sa Australiyanong pari na pabor sa gay marriage. Tila bang nagbubunyi sila na sa wakas ay naging liberal na ang Roma dahil kay Pope Francis pero – bigla silang nalito nang pinarusahan ang isang pari sa isang isyu na related sa homosexuality.

Ito ay patunay lang o indikasyon na mali ang pag-aakala nila sa tunay na mensahe ng Santo Papa.

Kaya tayong mga practicing Catholics, huwag po tayo basta basta maniniwala sa mga makulay na binabalita tungkol sa ating pananampalataya. Alamin muna natin ang source, at saka natin basahin o panuorin ng maigi ang kabuuan ng sinabi ng ating mahal na Pope Francis.

Tunay na marami tayong matututunan sa ating bagong Pastol pero mas mabuti na mag-ingat tayo na hindi tayo maisahan ng mga may masamang balak.

Himayin ninyo ng maigi ang mga lumalabas na balita at pagnilayan ninyo. Magdasal at humingi ng gabay ng Banal na Espiritu para sa discernment.

Ang hanapin ninyo ay ang consistency ng mensahe. Ang katutohanan ay magkakaayon. Kahit paano mo pa baliktarin yan … pareho pa rin. Consistent.

Eh kung di nagtutugma ang mga pronouncements, pananaw, o kilos … tiyak yan, mali ang pagkakaintindi sa tunay na espiritu ng mensahe.

“Be not afraid,” ang sabi ng dating Papa Juan Pablo II. Huwag po kayong mababahala dahil hindi po pababayaan ng Diyos na magtatagumpay ang mga nagkakalat ng mga kamalian tungkol sa ating pagiging Katoliko.

Kailangan lang po na manatili tayong dilat, alerto, at mapanuri.

Our Commitment is Needed Now!

In a special letter to the Bishop of Fatima, issued on October 1, 1997, Pope John Paul II said: "On the threshold of the third millennium, as we observe the signs of the times of this 20th century, Fatima is certainly one of the greatest."

The Holy Father then points out that in this great sign we are presented with an alternative: WAR or PEACE.

He says one of the main reasons Fatima is one of the greatest signs of these times is "because its message announces many of the latter events and conditions them on the response to its appeals."

We will not have the promise without the response. And Our Lady seems to be traveling the world to evoke our response.

Indeed, the visit of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue to you brings a special RESPONSIBILITY. As the Holy Father has said, the triumph depends on OUR response. And if we have had Our Lady's visit do we not have a special obligation to respond?

After some 25 million persons around the world responded by making the basic pledge -- Daily Rosary & Five First Saturdays ... we had the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Also, in that October 1997 letter, the Pope said that she is anxious "to save mankind from self-destruction." 

And, he also said that, "in Our Lady of Fatima, God is now giving a refuge to the world: the refuge of her Immaculate Heart."

Fatima, Portugal 1917

As you already know, the Mother of Jesus, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, appeared to three children at Fatima, Portugal during the summer of 1917. Beginning on May 13th and again on the 13th of each month until October 13th, Mary gave the world a message called the "Peace Plan from Heaven"; calling us to CONVERSION, PRAYER, and PENANCE.

"If what I tell you is done, manny sinners will be converted and there will be peace."

" ... Pray, pray a great deal and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them."

On July 13th the Virgin promised a great miracle on October 13th "so that all may believe." The great miracle of the sun occurred as foretold on that day with about 100,000 people gathered at Fatima witnessing it, including atheist newspaper reporters who acknowledged it as a miracle in the Portugese press.

The Message of July 13th also warned that by failing to do as she asks; we will suffer from "wars, famine and persecution of the church."

"The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; and various nations will be annihilated. Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

On May 13, 2000, Pope John Paul II declared two of the three children "Blessed," during a ceremony at Fatima attended by hundreds of thousands. He spoke of the urgency of the message in the new millennium and said it places "a burden on the church" because of its gospel call to reparation.
