Happy Feast Day of the Holy Family! I pray everyone had a wonderful experience and moments of Grace from Our Lord as we contemplated on His birth. Events and Signs from God are continuing to unfold before our eyes, and yet most people just keep on living as if nothing is going on, but their own small little worlds that take place in their own families. We have so much suffering going on all over the world, but more importantly Our Lord is suffering the most from all of the sins, blasphemies, and sacrileges that keep growing against Him. As we sit silently in front of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, offer up your suffering to console Him, and unite all of your suffering to His Cross for the salvation of souls. Let us reflect today on what St. Paul suffered as he became an Apostle for God and needed to expiate his sins, while he taught the Gospel to the gentiles. As a Disciple for God, are you allowing a thorn to pierce your side, whether it is physical, mental, or Spiritual suffering? If not, then Surrender yourself to Our Lord today, because we MUST make atonement for our sins, if not now, then after our death in Purgatory if we are saved by God’s Divine Mercy from Hell. Here is 2 Corinthians, Chapter 12. https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/12.htm.
If we reflect on what Our Lord told St. Paul, we know that we must endure suffering in some form to be His Disciples. Why? Because although the Holy Mass is the highest form of prayer and worship to God, the offering up of ourselves and our wills is the greatest act of love back to God to assist Him in His desire to save all souls from eternal damnation. Here are verses 7-10 from 2 Corinthians, Chapter 12 that St. Paul speaks about in his own personal suffering while he was serving Our Lord. “So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.“
St. Paul is telling us that it finally dawned on him, through God’s grace and revelation that our mental faculties must be made weak in order for Our Lord to operate through us as His vessels, this is essentially saying our own wills. This weakness in Paul is not a physical weakness, but a Spiritual weakness. He describes the thorn as a messenger of Satan to torment him. So, although St. Paul did not want to deal with this constant attack of torment from a demon, God showed him that he needed to be made weak, in order to be able to be used by God for the salvation of the gentiles. Could this Spiritual and mental suffering St. Paul endured also be used by God for expiation of his personal sins against Our Lord and the Holy Trinity? Yes, we are discerning that it was, but only God knows how He chooses everything we offer Him in our love of Him.
Since we are getting ready to go through the Warning/Illumination of Conscience, Our Lord is going to reveal to us our sins that we will have to make atonement for at our first death, which is the physical death of our bodies. However, we have a golden opportunity now to make atonement and expiation for our sins, that God has forgiven us because of our repentance, and we must atone for every second we failed to love God with all of our hearts, minds, souls and being. This we have learned from studying the teachings of the Divine Will as given to Luisa Piccarreta. So, this expiation is not only for our sins, but for all of the time we failed to even love God, which is indifference to Him or lukewarmness where we just lived without acknowledging our Creator! This is going to be a very long time for most of us, and unless we begin to live like the Saints now, it will be a longer period of purgation for us in Purgatory. Even better that we not only make atonement for ourselves, but for all of the sins, offenses and blasphemies committed against the Holy Trinity as Our Lord explains to Luisa Piccarreta in the Divine Will. Here is Aaron in the Holy Word of God making atonement for the Israelites. https://biblehub.com/numbers/16-46.htm.
Therefore, Our Lord is allowing three great graces to flow down upon us as we allow ourselves to suffer. We are allowing Our Lord to purify our souls (expiation of our own personal sins) to wash them white in His Most Precious Blood for all of our sins and periods of time in our lives that we have failed to love Him as our Creator, and we are also making atonement for others who are constantly offending the Holy Trinity. Disciples this is a constant offense against God that is crying out for His Justice, and we MUST console Our Lord every opportunity we can get in prayer, adoration, and sacrifice. In addition, God is preparing us for the coming Persecution against His saints. Look how much St. Paul endured all the way up until his martyrdom and did this thorn assist in his preparation! So, at the beginning of this blog, we wrote about emulating St. Paul the Apostle, now we are coming all the way back around to the beginning again with a deeper understanding of St. Paul because of God’s knowledge that He has revealed to us through His Holy Spirit. This is how we must all become His Saints through our suffering and endurance of remaining faithful to God all the way to the end. So, get ready Disciples and start evangelizing now for God! Start handing out Divine Mercy prayer cards and pamphlets about the Warning because we may only have a small window left to serve God for the salvation of souls!
We know that even if we make it to the physical Refuges prior to the Tribulation period, we are all going to suffer in order to wash our robes white. Depending on how far we get into the Divine Will of God now depends on how much we have become His Saints, thus how long we must expiate for our past sins in Purgatory. We know that the more we live in God’s Divine Will, the more likely we will be used by God as His vessel, which also means suffering for us, like St. Paul did as an Apostle, while we are still alive on earth.
However, those of us trying to live in God’s Divine Will as taught to Luisa Piccarreta by Our Lord will also be the first to receive any graces of expiation through paths we have created as the Church suffering in Purgatory from others who are also trying to live in God’s Divine Will and still alive on Earth, who are the Church Militant. It is a constant Grace and Blessing from God proving that we are all serving God as the Church Militant praying and suffering for the poor souls in Purgatory, and as the Church Suffering in Purgatory constantly praying for us on earth, the Church Militant. Thus, the more we align our souls in God’s Divine Will, the more we make paths of holiness to ascend into the Heavenly Kingdom immediately at death, or if we must go and continue to make atonement in Purgatory, are the first to receive the graces through these same paths Our Lord is allowing from those still living on earth in His Divine Will. For those that have never tried to live in God’s Divine Will, but only saved by God’s Divine Mercy from Hell, must stay in Purgatory until God has decided they have expiated their sins and lukewarmness of not loving God as they should have as God’s created. This is a very, very, long time if you have studied the Mystics like Maria Simma, and the last book we spoke about, (Manuscripts on Purgatory, from Two Mystics) from a Nun from Purgatory giving Spiritual direction to another Cloistered Nun still alive on earth, by God’s grace. This book is a jewel, and I can’t seem to put it down. In fact, I am going to read it again, it is just that good! I have also been reading it to my two children, and they are taking it all in to learn how to become a Saint for God! I love it when I can get my kids excited about learning something for God.
Remember, if we make it to the 4th Degree of the Divine Will, concupiscence is removed from our souls, and we are so united to God in His Divine Will, that He brings us straight to Heaven at our death. I would also imagine that the past Saints made it to the 3rd Degree of the Divine Will and were in Union with God, but they did not know about the Divine Will revelation, and some also bypassed Purgatory all together. It seems as if many of us have to make some type of atonement in Purgatory, because of the stains of even the smallest of venial sins. It is fascinating to me personally of how Our Lord uses everything in our lives for our own good and sanctity. Here is an excerpt from the Divine Will, Volume 20 from Our Lord explaining these paths we create for ourselves as learn how to live in God’s Divine Will.
November 3, 1926
As many acts as we do in the Will of God, so many paths do we prepare in order to receive suffrages in Purgatory. I continue to live all abandoned in the adorable Will; and while I was praying, I thought to myself: ‘How I would like to descend into the prisons of the purging souls and release them all, and in the light of the Eternal Will, bring them all to the Celestial Fatherland.’ At that moment, my sweet Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, the more the souls who have passed to the other life have been submitted to my Will, and the more acts they have done in It, the more paths they have formed in order to receive suffrages from earth. Therefore, the more they have done my Will, the more ways of communication they have formed for the goods which are in the Church and which belong to Me; and there is no path formed by them which does not bring, to some a relief, to some a prayer, to some a diminution of pains. The suffrages walk along these royal paths of my Will, to bring to each one the merit, the fruit and the capital that one has formed in my Will. So, without It, there are no paths nor means in order to receive suffrages. Even though the suffrages and everything that the Church does always descend into Purgatory, they go, however, to those who have formed the paths. For the others, who have not done my Will, the paths are closed or do not exist at all. If these were saved, it is because at least at the point of death they have recognized the Supreme dominion of my Will, they have adored It, and have submitted themselves to It. This last act has rescued them; otherwise they could not even be saved. For one who has always done my Will, there are no paths for Purgatory – his path goes straight to Heaven. And one who has recognized my Will and has submitted himself to It, not in everything and always, but in great part, has formed so many paths and receives so much, that Purgatory sends him quickly to Heaven. Now, just as the purging souls had to form the paths to be able to receive the suffrages, in the same way, the living, in order to send suffrages, must do my Will and form their own paths, so as to make their suffrages ascend into Purgatory. If they make suffrages, but they are far away from my Will, since the communication with my Will is missing, which alone unites and binds everyone, their suffrages will not find the way in order to ascend, the feet to be able to walk, the strength in order to give relief. They will be suffrages without life, because the true life of my Will is missing, which alone has the virtue of giving life to all goods. The more the soul possesses of my Will, the more value her prayers, her works, her pains, contain; therefore she can bring more relief to those blessed souls. I measure and give value to everything that the soul can do, according to how much of my Will she possesses. If my Will flows in all of her acts, the measure I take is immense; even more, I never stop measuring, and I give it so much value, that its weight cannot be calculated. On the other hand, if one does not care much about my Will, the measure is scarce and the value of little importance. And if one does not care at all, as much as the soul may do, I have nothing to measure, and no value to attribute. Therefore, if they have no value, how can they bring relief to those souls in Purgatory who recognize nothing, nor can they receive anything, but what my Eternal Fiat produces. But do you know who can bring all the reliefs, the light that purifies, the love that transforms? One who possesses the life of my Will in everything and in whom It dominates triumphantly. This soul does not even need the paths, because by possessing my Will, she has the right to all paths. She can go to all points, because she possesses within herself the royal path of my Will, in order to go into that deep prison and bring all reliefs and liberations. More so, since in creating man, We gave him Our Will as special inheritance, and We recognize everything he has done within the boundaries of Our inheritance, with which We endowed him. All the rest is not recognized by Us – it is not Our stuff, nor can We allow anything to enter Heaven which has not been done by the creature, either in Our Will, or at least in order to do It. Since Creation came out of the Eternal Fiat, Our Will, jealous, allows no act to enter the Celestial Fatherland which has not passed through Its own Fiat. Oh! If all knew what Will of God means, and that all the works, even those which appear to be good but are empty of It, are works empty of light, empty of value, empty of life; and works without light, without value and without life do not enter into Heaven. Oh, how attentive they would be in doing my Will in everything and forever!”
Let us Pray – Lord, we are Yours and we Surrender everything to Your Divine Will, which is also Your Divine Love. We are nothing and submit our nothingness into Your Allness. We offer up everything in our works, suffering, and love of You and the Holy Trinity and unite them to Your Cross that You continue to carry for the salvation of all souls. We offer up our pains for a lost soul today and for Your Divine Will so that all of our acts of suffering can be used by You to either assist a poor soul in Purgatory, or for a lost soul on earth that needs to come into Your Sacred Heart. We all know that we must continue to make atonement for our current past sins that You have forgiven but must repair the damage we have caused in our Relationship with You. We ask that You continue to lead us deeper and deeper into Your Divine Will as You know what we must still atone for and how we must expiate these past sins and to become Your Saints in full and complete union with the Holy Trinity. Thank You Lord, for the gift of suffering as a Divine Currency, and we will continue to fuse all of ourselves in Your Divine Will. We also pray that Our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph pray for us and guide us as the Holy Family working for the salvation of all souls. We ask this of Our Heavenly Father, in Your name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Here are the latest messages given to Pedro Regis from Our Blessed Mother. https://afterthewarning.com/messages-from-heaven/pedro-regis/2023/december/27/there-will-be-victory-for-the-church/.
Kate, a follower of the blog, has sent us an excerpt from the Book, After the Warning to 2038, about a message given to Pedro Regis about Iran striking Israel. This is a very real possibility, and here is what Kate sent us, and what we wrote about a year ago about Iran striking the United States. https://afterthewarningto2038.com/latest/will-iran-destroy-jerusalem.php.
Here is the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) video that Kate sent us showing that it is an ancient Islamic belief that Iran will destroy Israel before the Mahdi returns as the 12th Imam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ywcW9A_zgc.
We agree with you Kate, that it is very likely that Iran will strike both Israel and the United States as an act of WWIII. Of course, for the United States not to retaliate in defense of Israel, we would have to be struck by another Country first or simultaneously as has been prophesied by Father Michel Rodrigue about us in the United States being attacked by Iran and North Korea. Father Michel Rodrigue did not specify how this attack would come from North Korea and Iran, but this was one of his prophetic messages. We also did a post about this based on St. Hildegard’s prophetic messages of the United States colonies in the east being attacked by a Lion and a Tiger. Here is the post we did on this a year and a half ago. https://liveandloveforjesus.com/2022/07/24/holy-mass-celebrated-at-st-marys-parish-in-ottawa-canada-analyzing-older-messages-from-luz-de-maria-about-the-united-states-of-america-and-comparing-them-to-the-prophetic-messages-from-saint-hild/.
Kate did a fantastic job of doing the research in Pedro Regis’ personal website of tracking down the message from 4/26/2005. Great Job Kate proving that Pedro Regis did actually prophesize this that was mentioned in Bruce Cyr’s book, After the Warning to 2038. Here is the message from Pedro Regis himself. https://www.apelosurgentes.com.br/en-us/mensagens/ano/2005/.
So, more proof that these modern-day prophets that we have in this blog are bringing us the Truth about what is going to happen as these events continue to unfold. God of course can diminish or change the outcome of any chastisement through our prayers and suffering, just as He did with World Wars I and II with the suffering that Luisa Piccarreta offered up as a victim soul. Please keep Israel and the United States in your prayers today.
Here is Whitney Webb again on Redacted with Clayton Morris speaking on a possible cyber-attack false flag to interrupt the presidential election process in 2024. What is important to remember is that if we have a false flag event, that gives us an appearance is from another country like Iran, will this give Iran the excuse to retaliate with a nuclear weapon? The deception just keeps growing and growing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUY6ruDZH9k.
Here is also a fantastic summary of interviews conducted by U.S. Grace Force over the course of the year in 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM_ip9vrRXA&t=37s.
Here is the latest Jason A you tube video on the scary increase of intelligence of ChatGPT month after month, and how we don’t realize how rapidly technology is advancing right under our noses. Stay away from advancing technology! We did a post on this several years ago, and now this is more important than ever. In this video, the Scientists are creating robots with human emotion now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdD9Sfdsyqw&list=UUDATi9UrhqjfVNxIKNizOiQ&index=1.
