I fear that our beloved Pope Benedict may not be with us much longer. I hope I am wrong.

Mankind has succeeded in unleashing a cycle of death and terror, but failed in bringing it to an end… In sacred Scripture we often find that God seeks righteous men and women in order to save the city of man and he does the same here, in Fatima, when Our Lady asks: "Do you want to offer yourselves to God, to endure all the sufferings which he will send you, in an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended and of supplication for the conversion of sinners?" (Memoirs of Sister Lúcia, I, 162).

Very telling words.

"Seven years".

The premise is astounding. It calls to mind that feeling one gets after being slowly dragged to the crest of a great roller coaster, just as the center of gravity tips forward but you can't see anything in front of you...a sheer drop into an abyss that you know will end but is none the less terrifying and exhilirating for it.

God does prepare his people. Hang on to your hats, sports fans.
