BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 AMOUN of Nitria and his wife.  (As reported to Lausus, or Palladius, unclear).  I was around 22 years when my folks died.  My uncle forced me to marry.  In my day, to be married in the ceremony includes the decking with a crown, and a marriage chamber ritual.

   But as soon as my bride and I were placed in bed, we made a pact to remain celibate, and virgins.  My wife agreed to this, but desired we remain in the same residence, but different beds.

   For 18 years, we accomplished this.  I made balsam, which was labor intensive.  I spent hours daily, in this vocation, working and praying.

   Later my wife suggested we live apart.  I headed for the mountain of Nitria, and occupied a cell (living space) with two rooms. 

This was in the manner that the Philosopher writer, Philo sayd as the cells of the African Therapeutae.  They had been a Jewish group that preceded Christianity.  I visited my wife two times yearly.

    I lived 20 years in that manner.  I died as a monk, at 62 years of age.

 On one occasion, a rabid boy was sent to me.  Chains held him, as he inflicted injury on himself.  The father bringing him asked for cures.  I said to them, “Why tell me, asking for grace beyond my ability.  The remedy is in your abilities.)

  I told them to pay the widow woman for the ox that was secretly slaughtered, and then the grace of God would cure the boy.”  This, they did, and the boy was healed. 

    At another time, some asked for favor.  I in turn requested they bring me a large water jar, called a dolium.

I could use it to store water for the pilgrims and visitors.  Those asking said they would.  One of them reneged, however, not wanting to “kill his camel” by hauling so large a vessel.

The others requesting grace, made such as a mule train, tied together, to carry the dolium vessel.  They brought them to me.

I told them that the friend who had refused had lost his camel in death while they were returning to me.

   The other travelers who delivered the dolium returned home to find the camel of the recalcitrant promisor had been devoured by wolves.

   The great Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria also reported of me.

At the time when Saint Antony was in the mountain, he sent monks to me.  I was walking back with them, along with my disciple, Theodore.  But I worried about me being naked when we reached the Lycus River (River Lycum), which encompasses a tributary gully to the Nile. 

I talked over the situation, but suddenly through God’s grace, an angel carried me across the body of water.  Still, the other travelers had to swim.

We reached Antony.  In welcome, he said God had shown him many situations in my life.  Antony bade us pray for one another.  He also said I should not return to my place to die.  I did return.  But God graced Antony to see angels life my soul lifted to heaven.

The following is a message from the Blessed Mother of God to Fr.
Stefano Gobbi (#407) dated June 17, 1989. The messages from Our Lady
to Fr. Gobbi carry several IMPRIMATURS from several Cardinals,
Archbishops and Bishops.



THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST: 666

"Beloved sons, you now understand the plan of your heavenly Mother,
the Woman Clothed with the Sun, who, with her army, is engaged in the
great struggle against all the forces of evil, in order to attain her
great victory in the perfect glorification of the Most Holy Trinity.

Join me in battle, little children, against the Dragon, who seeks to
lead all humanity against God.

Join me in battle, little children, against the Black Beast, Masonry,
which seeks to lead souls to perdition.

Join me in battle, little children, against the beast like a lamb,
Masonry, infiltrated into the interior of ecclesial life in order to
destroy Christ and His Church. To attain this end, it seeks to build
a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.

--- Ecclesiastical Masonry receives orders and power from the various
masonic lodges and works to lead everyone secretly to become part of
these secret sects. Thus it stimulates the ambitious with the
prospect of easy careers; it heaps up with goods those who are
starved for money; it assists its members to exceed others and to
occupy the most important positions while it sets aside, in a subtle
but decisive way, all those who refuse to take part in its designs.
Indeed the beast like a lamb exercises all its power from the first
beast, in its presence, and it forces the earth and all its
inhabitants to adore the first beast.

Ecclesiastical Masonry goes as far as even building a statue in honor
of the beast and forces all to adore this statue.

--- But, according to the first commandment of the holy Law of the
Lord, only God is to be adored and to Him alone must every form of
worship be rendered. And so they substitute for God a strong,
powerful and dominating idol. An idol so powerful that it puts to
death all who do not adore the statue of the beast. An idol so
strong and dominating as to cause all, small and great, rich and
poor, freemen and slaves, to receive a mark on the right hand and on
the forehead, and that no one can buy or sell without having this
mark, that is to say, the name of the beast or the number of its
name. This great idol, built to be served and adored by all, as I
have already revealed to you in the preceding message, is a false
christ and a false church.

But what is its name?
--- In the thirteenth chapter of the Apocalypse, it is written, "This
calls for wisdom. Let him who has understanding reckon the number of
the beast: it represents a human name. And the number in question is
666 (six hundred and sixty-six)." (Cf. Rev. 13:18). With
intelligence, illumined by the light of divine wisdom, one can
succeed in deciphering from the number, 666, the name of a man and
this name, indicated by such a number, is that of the Antichrist.

Lucifer, the ancient serpent, the devil or Satan, the Red Dragon,
becomes, in these last times, the Antichrist. The Apostle John
already affirmed that whoever denies that Jesus Christ is God, that
person is the Antichrist. The statue or idol, built in honor of the
Beast to be adored by all men, is the Antichrist.

Calculate now its number, 666, to understand how it indicates the
name of a man. The number, 333, indicates the divinity. Lucifer
rebels against God through pride, because he wants to put himself
above God. 333 is the number which indicates the mystery of God. He
who wants to put himself above God bears the sign, 666, and
consequently this number indicates the name of Lucifer, Satan, that
is to say, of him who sets himself against Christ, of the Antichrist.

333 indicated once, that is to say, for the first time, expresses the
mystery of the unity of God. 333 indicated twice, that is to say,
for the second time, indicates the two natures, that of the divine
and the human, united in the divine person of Jesus Christ. 333
indicated thrice, that is to say, for the third time, indicates the
mystery of the Three Divine Persons, that is to say, it expresses the
mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Thus the number, 333, expressed
one, two and three times, expresses the principal mysteries of the
Catholic faith, which are: (1) the Unity and the Trinity of God, (2)
the incarnation, the passion and death, and the resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ.

If 333 is the number which indicates the divinity, he who wants to
put himself above God Himself is referred to by the number 666.

666 indicated once, that is to say for the first time, expresses the
year 666, six hundred and sixty-six. In this period of history, the
Antichrist is manifested through the phenomenon of Islam, which
directly denies the mystery of the Divine Trinity and the divinity of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Islamism, with its military force, breaks
loose everywhere, destroying all the ancient Christian communities,
and invades Europe, and it is only through my extraordinary motherly
intervention, begged for powerfully by the Holy Father, that it does
not succeed in destroying Christianity completely.

666 indicated twice, that is to say, for the second time, expresses
the year 1332 thirteen hundred and thirty-two. In this period of
history, the Antichrist is manifested through a radical attack on the
faith in the word of God. Through the philosophers who begin to give
exclusive value to science and then to reason, there is a gradual
tendency to constitute human intelligence alone as the sole criterion
of truth. There come to birth the great philosophical errors which
continue through the centuries down to your days. The exaggerated
importance given to reason, as an exclusive criterion to truth,
necessarily leads to the destruction of the faith in the word of
God. Indeed, with the Protestant Reformation, Tradition is rejected
as a source of divine revelation, and only Sacred Scripture is
accepted. But even this must be interpreted by means of the reason,
and the authentic Magisterium of the hierarchical Church, to which
Christ has entrusted the guardianship of the deposit of the faith, is
obstinately rejected. Each one is free to read and to understand
Sacred Scripture according to one's personal interpretation. In this
way, faith in the word of God is destroyed. The work of the
Antichrist, in this period of history, is the division of the Church
and the consequent formation of new and numerous Christian
confessions which gradually become driven to a more and more
extensive loss of the true faith in the word of God.

666 indicated thrice, that is to say, for the third time, expresses
the year 1998, nineteen hundred and ninety-eight. IN THIS PERIOD OF
HISTORY [Emphasis Mine], Freemasonry, assisted by its ecclesiastical
form, will succeed in its great design: that of setting up an idol to
put in the place of Christ and of His Church. A false christ and a
false church. Consequently, the statue built in honor of the first
beast, to be adored by all the inhabitants of the earth and which
will seal with its mark all those who want to buy or sell, is that of
the Antichrist. You have thus arrived at the peak of the
purification, of the great tribulation and of the apostasy. The
apostasy will be, as of then, generalized because almost all will
follow the false christ and the false church. Then the door will be
open for the appearance of the man or of the very person of the
Antichrist !

This is why, beloved children, I have wanted to enlighten you
concerning the pages of the Apocalypse which refer to the times you
are living through. This is to prepare you with me, for the most
painful and decisive part of the great struggle which is on the point
of being fought out between your heavenly Mother and all the forces
of evil which have been let loose.

Take courage! Be strong, my little children. To you befalls the
duty, in these difficult years, of remaining faithful to Christ and
to His Church, putting up with hostility, struggle and persecution.
But you are a precious part of the little flock, which has the task
of fighting against, and in the end of conquering, the powerful force
of the Antichrist.

I am forming you all, defending you and blessing you."

NOTE: We respectfully recognize and accept the final authority
regarding apparitions, locutions and prophecies presently being
reported around the world rests with the Holy See of Rome and the
Magisterium of Holy Mother Church to whose judgment we humbly and
obediently submit.

The web site, era-of-peace, together with its mother web site,
http://home.cfl.rr.com/call2holiness/era-of-peace.html
have been designed to serve a very unique purpose. As discussed in
greater detail on the home page of era-of-peace, it is used in
conjunction with its mother site to assist and guide all of God's
children through the Great Tribulation of the book of Revelation.

Accordingly, primary emphasis has been given to the accumulation of
few archived messages at the era-of-peace web site, as opposed to
many individual emailed messages to members. Our intention is to
build a relatively small base of messages, to facilitate the painting
of the "big" picture as eschatology is realized daily. As new
members join, especially during the foretold confusion associated
with the Warning, they will see for themselves the foretold events
materializing together with supporting evidence.

We invite you to visit the collection of archived messages to view
the picture that is being developed. The archived messages can be
