Frightful Times

Storm clouds begin to cover the light of the moon in Medjugorje. In a time like today, when the light is being suppressed, it is difficult to see the way out.

In 2007, a time when many still did not see the wisdom of these words, a Friend of Medjugorje prophetically wrote the following. Keep in mind that the following was written 9 years ago:
 

“…We are in frightful times. Signs everywhere give evidence that our time is unlike any time in the history of the world. Yes, there have always been wars, persecutions, atrocities, and difficulties. But never in history has the mind of man been so advanced and yet been so deceived, swayed into mediocrity, devoid of wisdom, elevated in the comforts of life higher than any king of the pre-modern past, the meaning of marriage so meaningless, families so dispensable, friendships so superficial, the future so insecure, unsure, and so bleak. Yet, the mentality of modern man is that his developments are good. Man is not consciously aware that he is being herded along like cattle to the slaughterhouse. He is totally unaware while being entertained, pleasured, and engrossed in technologies (watch cell phone users in public) which are preoccupying man as a cat charms a bird with his tail before he pounces upon it, the bird never being aware of what the cat’s intention was. This holds true also for the prayerful. The prayerful think they are aware, but are just now beginning to wake up, realizing the difficult situation we are in…”¹ 

Christians are now waking up from their dreamy sleep, not from a nightmare, but to a nightmare. And we call out to our Mother who comes to save us. But, She has further plans:

July 30, 1987 

“… I want to save you and, through you, to save the whole world…”

In a time that seems like it is becoming so dark, we are to be the light, that there is a better way, Her way, in Her time.
