Message #3027 to Little Mary - October 16, 2007

A true servant is humble and loving and does not seek control"

MESSAGE #3027 from the Blessed Mother
October 16, 2007

My daughter, Continue to pray, for the world is in need of prayer. Be cautious of those who refuse to join hands and pray the Rosary. Be cautious of those who study the bible, but refuse to live it.

All must pray and live the Gospel. All must join hands and do their part for the salvation of souls. All must serve Our Lord if they truly want to imitate Christ. A true servant is humble and loving and does not seek control. Many
today seek power, but they are not turning to God for guidance.

Please, dear children, let go of pride and jealousy so that God can truly direct you. Let go of your selfish ways and allow God to be in control.

Begin today by truly living the Gospel. Begin today and join hands and work together. God will truly bless those who are humble, loving and faithful to Our Lord. God's work must continue, so please pray and allow the Holy Spirit to
work through you.

Now, please live the Gospel and manifest your love of knowing Jesus. Live the Gospel with simplicity and joy in your hearts. Amen.

Public Message

Our Lady of Emmitsburg

To the World

through Gianna Sullivan

December 2, 2007

 

Little children, praised be Jesus! 

 

Little ones, you are all so precious in the Eyes of God!  God loves you.  He cares for you.  God is with you.  I am with you.

 

Do not be concerned whether there are people around you who support you in your belief, or not.  The authorities of the Church are overwhelmed.  In today's world there is tremendous fear. 

 

You must be the Light of Jesus; and to validate anything, you, in belonging to Mother Church, must live and breathe the Truth.  Your actions, your love, your speech and your prayers all witness to the Truth. 

 

Never fear, but know that an explosion of Light is coming---one where all the world will not only know the Truth, but must live it! 

 

How blessed you are for living your faith!  How pleased I am to be here in this visitation!  As Elizabeth was visited, I visit you.  As this Visitation is at hand, know also that the graces bestowed upon you and all of humanity are here to be received. 

 

Holy, Holy, Holy is God; and holy His children who come to Him bearing gifts and receiving Life!  Peace to you in this precious moment!  Peace and good will for all humanity. 

 

I bless you in the Most Glorious Name of God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit, Whose breath fills you with wisdom, knowledge, humility, patience, perseverance, meekness and fortitude.  You are who you are because God is your Almighty. 

 

He is!

 

Reflection by Fr. John B. Wang

 

Our Heavenly Queen, the Seat of Wisdom, is guiding us with a sure hand toward our salvation.  It seems the time has come for Her to make a clear public statement about the great event variously termed as the "Warning" or "Illumination of Conscience." 

 

In this message, She mentions the "Explosion of Light" that is sure to come.  What is this "Explosion of Light?"  To me, Blessed Mother points to the oft-predicted, extraordinary divine salvific action when the whole world will see the Truth, know the Truth and must live the Truth.

 

Furthermore, our Mother reiterates Her happy visitation to the Emmitsburg area.  As in Her visit to St. Elizabeth, our Mother brings many blessings, gifts and graces for us to share.  What blessed moments these are!  Live and defend the Truth. 

 

Fear not.  Have no human concerns. Wish peace and good will to all humanity in this holy season.  Jesus the Emmanuel and His Mother are with us.

Dreams/Visions - Binary Asteroid, Massive Flooding plus News Reports - by Lec


DREAM OF COUNTRYWIDE FLOODING


Sometime ago before going to sleep, I prayed to God to please show me what is to happen in the near future.  What I meant is not the ordinary run of the mill events but something that is headline hugging or some events that would indicate that these are signs referred to in biblical prophecy. 

 

 

For three successive nights, I dreamt of never before seen events which I want to relate one by one:

First night I saw myself standing on the edge of a river where I saw myself facing the south. 

 

Then my gaze turned upwards towards the Southwest where I saw two dot size unrecognizable objects coming towards the sky above where I stood.  The objects' speed were incredibly fast that in a matter of a second or two, I saw them overhead 15 degrees from where I stood. 

 

These were two huge, mountain size, gray objects.  The zonic boom was so loud I can still vividly recall how frightening they were.  I followed with my eyes the direction where the two objects went to.  Direction was North.

After that, I hurried home to listen to the news from the radio. 

 

I heard the announcer saying that powerful bombs were detonated not a binary asteroid hit.  In the dream, I wondered why the cover up.


Perhaps it's not my direct location that was hit but someplace in the Northern hemisphere. Second night, I had another dream.  I saw myself standing in front of our house in the province.  The sight was extremely distressing.
I saw the house where I spent my early chidlhood days in total ruins. 

 

It was brought down at its side and came tumbling down to the muddy ground.  Cause - powerful water currents.  Then I saw the scene for the whole town.  There was a never seen before inundation with muddy water the source of which was not shown in the dream. 

 

It was the town proper scene which is at least 3 kilometers away from the coastlines.  I wonder how bad it was in the seashore settlements.

 

My mother and a brother used to live in our house in the province. In the dream, they were no longer present.  In the dream, I felt that they had already moved out of the house before the calamity happened because they were pre-warned. 

 

Now in real life, they are no longer living in that house I am talking about simply because both of them are now dead.  I wrote and posted this dream now for I am wondering if these times that they are no longer around as the period for the materialization of that gloomy dream event.

 

Third night, I saw myself in the main highway coming from the capital city leading to our hometown.  It is a 155 kilometer distance.  Again, it was a distressing sight in the dream of a heavy, widescale flooding.  The main highway became so impassable as the waters rose so high that the only way to escape death was to climb to a nearby hill. 

 

I saw myself hurriedly climbing up the hill.  Then I found myself in a house in a nearby town where I spent my high school days in the same province where I came from.  The town now a city which is an hour and a half drive from the national capital region was also heavily flooded.

 

Fourth narration is from a daytime vision while I was having a short nap in the office.  I saw muddy waters just outside the legislative building where I have my office at about 12 feet deep and had seen also the devastation that was wrought by rampaging floods inside my office's 18 hectare compound. 

 

All trees were brought down to the ground.  If the water level was 12 feet right there in that place which is at least 30 to 40 kilometers away from the coastlines, I was wondering how bad it had been at locations near the sea.

In the dream, I was made to feel that the flooding was of a nationwide scale.

 

Below are the news reports which prompted me to write the dreams and visions I narrated above:

 

Headlines Killer waves By Arnell Ozaeta and Charlie Lagasca Thursday, November 29, 2007

 

From Ilocos Norte to Jolo, huge waves swamped coastal areas across the country the other night, leaving at least four people dead and sending into panic about 5,000 residents.

 

Authorities are still trying to find an explanation for the big waves that struck following several typhoons and a powerful earthquake that rocked Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon the other day.

 

In Batangas, officials said ferries crossing Taal Lake capsized when strong winds brought by typhoon "Lando" triggered huge waves.

 

Three people drowned while about 30 others were rescued.  Six others remain missing.

 

Authorities identified the fatalities as Josie Rabor and Meann Hernandez of Barangay Ambulong, Tanauan City and Helen Hernandez of Malvar, Batangas.

 

The victims were on their way home after attending a fiesta in Barangay Bignay when strong waves pummeled their motorbancas that subsequently sank in the middle of the lake.

A fisherman also perished while five others went missing after their fishing boat capsized off Cagayan's choppy northern coast late Tuesday.

 

Authorities identified the fatality as Ruben Villado of Barangay Caroan, Gonzaga town.

 

Giant waves also swamped villages in Jolo, Zamboanga City and Misamis Oriental in the southern Philippines and the northern provinces of Ilocos Norte, La Union and Pangasinan.

 

Initial reports said nearly 200 houses made of light materials were washed away while more than 2,000 people were evacuated in Zamboanga City.

 

All ferry services between Zamboanga and Jolo were canceled as environment and disaster officials rushed emergency and relief assistance.

 

In the southern coastal village of Sinunuc in Zamboanga, dozens of families fled after waves hit their wooden huts on stilts, sweeping several away and injuring some residents.

Knee-high floodwaters brought by the waves receded from a key seaside boulevard, leaving trash, corals and other debris. 

 

Some inter-island ferries and cargo boats did not dock in a nearby pier fearing more waves, officials said.

 

The local government of Zamboanga City has declared as calamity areas 15 of its coastal barangays that were battered by huge waves.

 

Mayor Celso Lobregat said a total of 1,600 families fled to safer ground.

Lobregat said there were initial reports that an elderly person and a child went missing after they were swept away.

 

The regional disaster coordinating council said 16 towns of Misamis Oriental were inundated forcing some 1,160 families to flee their homes.

 

No casualty or missing had been reported so far.

In Iligan City, at least 200 houses were initially reported destroyed by huge waves which also inundated several barangays in the city late Tuesday.

 

In Ilocos Norte, thousands of residents went into panic as huge waves battered the coastal town of Pagudpud.

Authorities said 725 families were evacuated as waves destroyed two houses in Barangay Pasaleng of the town.

The Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) led by Ilocos police director Chief Superintendent Leopoldo Bataoil said a total of 1,207 families were affected by the big waves that battered the region.

 

OCD Regional chief Armando Duque said in the entire western coast of Luzon, which was jolted by a magnitude-6 earthquake past noon Tuesday, more than 5,400 people fled to safety and government emergency shelters after their communities were swamped.

 

In the coastal town of Bolinao, Pangasinan, many villagers feared that a tsunami struck because of last Tuesday's earthquake, but authorities immediately explained through local radio that stormy weather out at sea was the reason for the turbulent coasts, Duque said.

 

Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council chief Pat Orduna said about


200 families in the coastal towns of Lingayen, Binmaley, San Fabian and
Dagupan City had been evacuated.

 

Search and rescue operations, meanwhile, were continuing for two air force pilots whose plane was believed to have crashed in the South China Sea in the Spratlys on Monday while searching for a missing fishing vessel with 27 people aboard.  The fishermen have not been found.

 

Puzzling Many were puzzled by the waves because typhoon "Mina" (international codename Mitag), which lashed northern Luzon on Monday, had weakened into a storm then blew out of the country toward southern Japan, causing weather to improve since Tuesday.

 

"Many thought that there may have been a tsunami so authorities had to tell them that the waves were caused by the weather disturbances," OCD Region I chief Armando Duque said, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro said government scientists are still trying to determine the cause of the huge waves, which struck a day after a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Luzon, and after an earthquake hit Indonesia late Monday.

 

Teodoro urged local officials to continue monitoring their coastal areas and carry out "preemptive evacuations" if there was a resurgence in big waves.

 

Chief government forecaster Nathaniel Cruz of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) explained the big waves were apparently generated by strong northeast monsoon prevailing in the country.

 

"Even with Lando and Mina gone, the northeast monsoon will continue to be strong and the possibility of big waves is always there," Cruz said.

Cruz clarified the huge waves that inundated most of the western parts of the country were not caused by last Tuesday's tremor.

 

He said tsunami occurs only several minutes following an earthquake.

 

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs)
director Renato Solidum said the earthquake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami.

 

Tsunamis are huge waves which are caused by earthquakes and underwater landslides, much like the historic Dec.  26, 2004 tidal wave that struck countries in South Asia bordering the Indian Ocean.

 

Pagasa senior weather forecaster Robert Sawi said generally improving weather conditions are expected to prevail over the country starting today.

Cruz said the tropical depression

n outside the Philippine area of responsibility is unlikely to enter the country.

The weather disturbance was earlier predicted to enter the country this week to be named "Nonoy" once it enters the Philippine territory.

 

As of 4 p.m.  yesterday, the tropical depression was located 1,410 kms east of extreme northern Luzon.

Lando, on the other hand, has weakened into an active low pressure area and was located 690 kilometers northeast of Virac, Catanduanes.

 

Mina has also dissipated over the Philippine Sea but its effects are closely being monitored for possible re-generation by Pagasa.

 

Storm warning signals in all areas affected by the storms were lifted.

The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said Lando left a total of 19 people dead.

Of the 19 casualties, seven were from Camarines Sur, one from Camarines Norte, three from Palawan, two from Apayao, two from Kalinga, three from Cagayan and one from Isabela.

 

The NDCC also reported Lando left over P162 million damage on infrastructures and over P109 million estimated damage in agriculture.  ?  with Lino de la Cruz, Roel Pareno, Helen Flores, Cecille Suerte Felipe, Vic Alhambra, Edu Punay, Jun Elias, Claudio Dacquer, Eva

 

MONSTER WAVES WARNING ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA The monster waves that were predicted for this week started rolling in Tuesday.  Waves were 10 feet and bigger and only expected to get larger over the next 24 hours, when they are predicted to get as high as 20 feet. 

 

At least five rescues have been made to keep surfers from washing into the Ventura Pier.  People were warned to stay off jetties and not to let their children into the ocean because the waves and the currents are so strong. 

 

"When it gets this large, something exponentially bad can happen." The swell is expected to continue through Friday, peaking today.

Here is another From CNN News: UNPRECEDENTED HIGH TIDES BEING REPORTED FROM ALASKA TO INDIA EARTH CHANGES WARNING AS REPORTED BY CNN NEWS DEC 04, 2007 KILU, Papua New Guinea (AP) -- Squealing pigs lit out for the bush and Filomena Taroa herded the grandkids to higher ground last week when the sea rolled in deeper than anyone had ever seen.

 

What was happening?  "I don't know," the sturdy, barefoot grandmother told a visitor.  "I'd never experienced it before."

 

As scientists warn of rising seas from global warming, more and more reports are coming in from villages like this one on Papua New Guinea's New Britain island of flooding from unprecedented high tides.  It's happening not only to low-lying atolls, but to shorelines from Alaska to India.

And Hawaii too Giant Wave Impact - Hawaii [link to visz.rsoe.hu] Giant waves on Maui today damaged facilities at two north shore public beach parks and injured one tow-in surfer, county officials said in a news release. 

 

Baldwin Beach Park and Ho'okipa Beach Park were both closed at 2:30 p.m.  and will remain closed until the areas are declared safe by ocean safety personnel. 

 

At Baldwin Beach Park, wave faces were reported to be 60 feet to 70 feet on the outside reef and a tow-in surfer sustained severe cuts and a possible compound fracture to his leg, officials said.  Two lifeguard vehicles   a wave ski and an ATV   were picked up by the shorebreak and thrown against a picnic pavilion door at Baldwin Park

 

The door was broken, and sand washed into the open-air pavilion.  The waves caused substantial damage to the shoreline with sand piling up in the men's restroom and debris littering the park, according to officials.

 

"It's rubber boots country in the back parking lot," said Leland Parker, maintenance supervisor for the Coastal Section, East Parks District.  "The waves are washing into the parking area and the water just gets backed up, with nowhere to go." At Ho'okipa Beach Park, wave faces were at 30 feet to 50 feet, according to Archie Kalepa, ocean safety operations supervisor. 

 

Waves washed up the steep stone wall into the pavilions, carrying sand and debris.  "When it's this big, it's actually a lot easier to convince people to stay out of the water," Kalepa said.  "It's the people onshore who have to be extremely careful ?  no one should ever turn their back to the ocean, even when they think they're standing in a safe zone."

 

Kalepa also reported that two surfers were rescued at Honolua Bay on Maui's northwest side.  Surf was estimated to be breaking in the 30-foot range

 

What is causing the worldwide waves?
MONSTER WAVES WARNING ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA Quote The waves get a bit higher that time of year.  NEVER in recent memory have I seen them at or above this level.  While LA County seems to be avoiding them for now, I don't think it will be so for much longer.

 


It's getting nasty out there.  I drove over to
Santa Monica VERY early this AM to have breakfast w/ a friend before hitting the Apple Store in the 3rd St Promenade shopping area.

 

I was early and my buddy was late.  I parked on Ocean Blvd just south of Wilshire at about 7:10 this AM.  I got out of the car and took in the panorama of the pier and the palms and then noticed the LOVEed waves - I had NOT seen the weather warnings nor heard them on the car radio. 

 

Let me tell you that a little after high tide today it was DEFINITELY kicking up some waves out there.  I can't guess how high they were.  But I know what this place looks like in "normal"

weather and this IS NOT WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY.  NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

 

The vista that I saw made me inwardly upset - more than was reasonable for some reason and I found it desirable to order a Mimosa instead of just OJ with my breakfast this AM. 

 

Then I had a 2nd one.  Now I do NOT normally drink.  A glass of Champagne on New Years eve, and maybe a half glass of really good wine if I'm dining out and someone orders something really rare, costly and wonderful.
Not quite completely abstaining but LOVEed close.

 

For me to have a Mimosa is a once in a year or two event.  To order a 2nd one?

Something upset the hell out of me, and somehow it didn't all register until much later on today when I got online at GLP and read this post.

 

Then one of those "ah ha" moments hit.  Now at least I know what I found so upsetting and could not put my finger on it earlier this AM.  It was the waves being so 'out of the ordinary' and while it registered it didn't register as real danger, yet. 

 

As I think about it, however, I think that it does represent danger for the LA/SD/Ventura/Santa Barbara costal areas.  It may suddenly get much worse than expected or than what they're admitting they expect.

I mean hell, if parts of I-5 in Washington and Oregon are still under 10' of water, you can bet your butt that something is going to happen here too. 

 

And I don't think we've go long to wait.

Just my weirdness/denial/and then the Ah Ha stuff that kicked in.
My "sense" of it is one of danger and I know that's probably irrational and yet it persists.

 

SCRIPTURE QUOTE Luke 21:25-27 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear.
