Did you also notice that the if you add the numbers of todays date - 2+1+3+2+0+0+5 - you get - 13!

Thats awesome! For the record, for those who may not know, the 13th is significant in that, as sassbox and thor related,...................

Our Blessed Mother told Lucia - "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at this same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterwards, I will return here yet a seventh time.’

Sister Lucy, please pray to Our Lord and Our Lady for us all.

It's also just the 13th of the month anyway...

[Mark in the Old South]

Sister Lucia and her message reminds me of the 8th station of the cross. Christ carried the cross to Golgotha now it is the Church's turn. Just as Christ warned the weeping women of Jerusalem to not weep for Him but to save their tears for themselves and their children. The Church had to warn the world to repent and weep for their sins, Sister Lucia gave voice to that call.

It was after that Christ fell for the third time, as the Church has fallen, weakened.

We will be striped of everything next. Some see the Churches striped of their sacred things with the modernization of the Churches.

We can not stop what comes after that, but bear with it to the end. We had a chance to stop it all in 1960. But Peter hesitated to strike the Rock just as Moses hesitated. Moses was punished for that so now must we all for our failures.

Rejoice. This will be an age of Saints. Read the book of Esther. Mordecai saved the King of Persia and was rewarded with the robes of the king, a kings crown riding the king's horse with a prince of the empire shouting this is one the king wishes to honor. That prince was none other than Aman who wished to kill all the Jews, Mordecai most of all. Funny how God works.

Our KING was clothed in his own blood, a crown of thorns, carrying a instrument of death. All the while mockers and scorners laughing, saying here is one who would be king of the Jews. But the story does not end there. A great Lady, modest even though she was a Queen exposed the evil man. He met his end and so did all the enemies of the Jews, though they took none of the spoils. There was a dream as well of two Dragons, one Aman and the other Mordecai. Will China play a role that is unexpected? Remember what John the Baptist's father said in his Canticle when speaking of the Saviour. His name will be Orient. Could he be speaking of a later time, remember the Old Testament did and many missed the signs of the times when IHS was born. They only wanted to see the signs they liked and flattered their egos.

[Rosary]

Also the # 13 there were 12 apostles and including Our Lord it made a HOLY 13! And the Lady of Fatima chose this 13th of the month to take Sr. Lucy and appeared to the 3 children on the 13 of Oct. feast of the Holy ROSARY...had to add that !!
