Mark of the Beast

According to The Apocalypse of St John (Revelation), Chapter 14, Verse 9, Douay-Rheims Bible

"These are the times when the followers of him who opposes himself to Christ are being signed with his mark on the forehead and the hand.

 

The mark on the forehead and on the hand is an expression of a total dependency on the part of those who are designated by this sign. The sign indicates him who is an enemy of Christ, that is to say, the sign of the Antichrist. And his mark, which is stamped, signifies the complete belonging of the person thus marked to the army of him who is opposed to Christ and who fights against His divine and royal dominion.

 

Father Dos Santos On Moral Behavior

Fr. Kenneth M. Dos Santos, MIC 

It’s a common belief in modern day society that all organizations be inclusive of everyone. The thought that one’s personal beliefs—and the behavior one chooses to engage in—should be accepted by everyone in the name of tolerance and inclusivity—regardless of whether this behavior coincides with natural law, morality, or religion—only furthers an ideological belief that natural law, morality, and religion have little to offer society and the public realm. This belief has brought into current favor—through the increased secularization of thought—the active pursuit of lobbyists, politicians, and those who harbor agendas, to enact into “law” that which would “protect” the marginalized, or, those they perceive as being marginalized. Governments, institutions, and associations are being forced to accept, include, and welcome those who would live outside the “confines” of natural law, morality, and religious belief. Further, this belief imposes upon society the limiting of personal freedoms.

THE SACRAMENTSA Divine Sense of Humor

No one can ever understand the sacraments unless he has what might be called a "divine sense of humor." A person is said to have a sense of humor if he can "see through" things; one lacks a sense of humor if he cannot "see through" things. No one has ever laughed at a pun who did not see in the one word a twofold meaning. To materialists this world is opaque like a curtain; nothing can be seen through it. A mountain is just a mountain, a sunset just a sunset; but to poets, artists, and saints, the world is transparent like a window pane—it tells of something beyond; for example, a mountain tells of the Power of God, the sunset of His Beauty, and the snowflake of His Purity.

The Evil Roots of Sexual Perversion/Rebellion

Many Christians are unaware of the meaning and significance that Saint Michael’s name bears.

Throughout the entire history of the Church, Saint Michael has been viewed as a protector and guardian.

Our current prayer to Saint Michael, penned by Pope Leo XIII, states specifically:

“Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.”

But what about his name itself?

The name “Michael” is a question, and it bears a great deal of significance for us, and is perhaps

most understood in our current age of debauchery and death.

“Michael” means, “Who is like God?”

My son, will you pray for me?

No one prays for me because I died in great peace, with a reputation for holiness, and my dear sisters certainly believe me to be in Paradise, and do not pray for me. I am on the verge of Paradise, languishing of love; close to my Divine Spouse;
