Message as given by our Blessed Mother TIME: 10.30PM. DATE: 6TH FEBRUARY, 1997 During the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Our Lady appeared to us in a vision, holding a beautiful flower in Her hand. She calmly said; “My little children, peace from Heaven be with you. Children accept all your suffering with happiness, try, I say to you, try as much as you can to edit all the messages. Heaven knows all your efforts, Father knows it before giving it to you. Make My Son happy through your effort, that is what motivated Me to come and congratulate you. I will be happy if you read all the quotations that My Son gave you at the beginning of this call, the quotations are Hebrew 12:12-29 and 1 Cor. 10:1-19. Meditate on them, your problems will be solved. My Son loves you all. He wants you to pray; TO PRAY HARDER always. He is waiting for your prayers, see how He looks at you. Offer all your weakness to Him, adore Him always. My children, whenever you come around this Holy Tabernacle respect He who loves you, respect, the Sprinkled blood that saved you, My Son is not happy with this attitude. He said; I will stop you from coming here again”, But I interceded for you and He pardoned you. I beg you My little children, be silent whenever you come around this Holy Tarbernacle, pray and meditate on His agony. Continue this adoration with Mass as usual, respect the Holy Blood on the Altar. Plan this adoration and make it acceptable to My son. My Son will not give any more message or revelation to you again unless you try and edit other messages. If you don’t obey, He might come and take away all the gifts He had given you. I am leaving you now, tell your people to obey the commands of My Son; say the 3.00pm adoration and the Gethsemane hour prayer silently, otherwise, Father will stop them. Peace from Heaven be with you. My Son be happy and smile. Bye”.

Message as given by Our Lord 9TH DAY OF THE NOVENA TIME: 10.30P.M. DATE: 5TH FEBRUARY, 1997 During our final Novena prayers with mass, Our Lord appeared to me with His Crown of Thorns, He showed Me His five wounds and said: “My children honour these wounds, adore the Precious Blood which comes from them. Have mercy on Me in My agony. My childern, listen. I say listen. Some of you displease the Holy Trinity and turn away their spirit from the Holy One God, leaving only the clay for the living God. My children, turn away from this attitude. O! Respect the one above all creation, He Himself. My children, you displease Me much in this attitude. Pray only when you are willing to pray. Never, I say never, pray when you are not willing to pray, rather you make me sad, the Father will not answer your prayer if you displease Him with absent mindedness. My children, I need your prayers always, so, respect Me My son, tell My children to ask for anything for seven minutes, I will answer, (Silence) tell them to ask questions for three minutes. I will answer them. (Silence) I say, you must ask reasonable questions. (A long silence.) My son listen, I need your sacrifice, through it I will work out salvation, but I say to you, you will share with Me in My sufferings, the higher the sufferings, the easier the journey becomes, the more you pray, the wider the devotion spreads, therefore I say to you, be patience. In this end of age, My Father poured the Holy Spirit on His people, also the wicked spirit is being poured to people by the Antichrist. My son, listen. In this end of age the word Penticostal was first formed by the spirit of Antichrist. I say run away from them. Listen again, there is still the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Catholic Church, all who belong to this ROCK, who obey and are holy have the Holy Spirit, charism also belongs to this ROCK. With these: Obedience, humility, love and holiness you possess the fulness of the Holy Spirit. My children, listen. Warn all the charismatics who belong to this ROCK, Satan has entered it. Many have been possessed by the spirit of the Antichrist, I say, be careful. My children, if your question was not answered, wait for Me in your personal reparation prayer by 3.00pm. On the 7th of this month, I will answer you and give you a way out. Be happy that the Father accepts your sacrifice, do the Benediction immediatey.” During the Benediction, I was looking at our priest raising the Blessed Host in the monstrance, Our Lord appeared and said, “I bless you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Message as given by Our Lord 8TH DAY OF THE SECOND NOVENA TIME: 9.10P.M. DATE: 4TH FEBRUARY, 1997 During our Novena prayer, I was transformed in spirit, I saw Our Lord on a Cross, the Sacred Side appeared clearly. There were immediately drops of blood which I counted to be twelve, as soon as that Blood was over, drops of water which I did count to be twelve commenced. The Sacred Head with the Crown of Thorns appeared, Our Lord said: “My children, during your hour of meditation think about My Crucifixion, the Sweat of Blood, the Scourging, the Crown of Thorns, Carrying of the Cross, piercing of My Body and the three hours I hung on the Cross, if you love Me have mercy on Me. My son, I lost twelve drops of Blood and Water for humanity from My Sacred Side, these represent FORGIVENESS and SALVATION to My people Israel. The Blood saved the sins of the whole world. O My children adore My Most Precious Blood and Water from My Sacred Side through this Holy Chaplet of My Precious Blood. “O My children adore My Precious Blood and Water from My sacred Side through this Holy Chaplet of My Precious Blood. My children I have done it, your joy will not be complete yet, no one will fully believe you, I have hardened their hearts. Unless you obey My command; your joy will not be complete. I command you to edit all My messages you have not done it, I also commanded you to pray, no one prays much some of you are not praying. My children, you will not start the pilgrimage unless it is approved by the Bishop and the Church. It will not be approved by the Bishop unless you edit all My messages. I warn you all never to submit this prayer to the Bishop if you did not pray much for it. Pray much, I say pray much, offer all your prayers for it. My people, your prayer is not enough. If you do not pray till the time comes, I will hold back My Chaplet and allow destruction to come, then many people will die, hopefully some will survive. My children, pray. That is why I called you to share in My suffering and bring down God’s mercy through your prayers. I will not tell you anything about the pilgrimage now until the third Friday of this month. Today, you can reveal My messages and Chaplet to My people, individuals and even devotioners. I say, the pilgrimage will not come unless you obey and pray. I command you to pray. I bless you all. Peace be with you.”

April 27, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- Porn has been sold to us as harmless fantasy, incapable of causing any conceivable harm to men or women. In fact, some sexologists tell us it is a panacea that cures all sexual ills. Wrong. Modern porn, particularly as presented on the Internet, qualifies as a ‘supranormal stimulus’, a term Nobel winning behavioral biologist Nicolas Tinbergen described decades ago. He found that birds, when presented with plaster eggs that were larger and painted brighter than normal eggs, would try to roost the artificial eggs. They ignored their real eggs. When he constructed artificial female butterflies with more attractive wings than normal females, the male butterflies would ignore the real females and try to mate with the fake ones. Sound familiar? Men and women are trying to mate with computers more than ever before, and as 3-D and 4-D technology becomes more realistic, this will likely only accelerate. Goggle systems like Oculus Rex, combined with haptic technology and ectoskeleton body suits, will continue to, as Naomi Wolfe said, make real naked women look like ‘bad porn.’ A Business Wire article about RealTouch, a haptic porn system, asked “Will a New Gadget for Men Make Women Obsolete?” Porn is a powerful learning medium, with a strong dopamine reward kick. A study published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2014 showed that the more porn consumed per week, the greater the shrinkage in brain areas associated with reward. Another study in PLOS ONE in 2014 out of Cambridge University reported that 60% of subjects addicted to porn had erectile dysfunction with real partners, but no problem when masturbating to porn. Sound like the butterflies? None of this is surprising to neurobiologists, but some sexologists, desperate to vet porn as harmless fantasy, author papers remarkable for the convoluted calisthenics they go through to preserve this illusion. An example is the paper described in theNewsweek article “Is Porn Ruining Men’s Sex Lives?” (Brown, 4/4/15). The paper by Nicole Prause and James Pfaus purports to prove that porn can’t cause erectile dysfunction. It is patched together from four different studies, none of which actually addressed erectile dysfunction! As Linda Hatch PhD points out, this paper lacks any real substance yet offers unwarranted, sensational conclusions. Prause and Pfaus cobble together various populations, which appear to be carefully chosen to avoid acknowledging what prominent urologists say is a growing problem in a subpopulation of young men. A response has also been published on a site called RebootNation.org, where thousands of young men describe their experience with porn-induced erectile dysfunction. Prause and Pfaus have entirely missed this subpopulation, which is astonishing given that a number of studies in the past couple of years reveal alarming ED rates of ~30% in young men (and teens)! Compare that with a 5% ED rate in a cross-sectional study of 18-59-year old men, done just prior to the advent of the Internet. In his book “The New Naked,” Cornell urologist Harry Fisch warns, "When I say that porn is killing America's sexual behavior, I am not kidding, nor am I exaggerating. I see the detrimental and grave effects of porn on men and women and their relationships every day in my office, and I hear about it every time I go on the radio. I'm particularly blunt about this topic because I believe porn is ...harming every aspect of sexual health. … A man who masturbates frequently [to porn] can become unable to have sex.” Harvard urologist Abraham Morgentaler said, “It’s hard to know exactly how many young men are suffering from porn-induced ED, but it’s clear that this is a new phenomenon, and it’s not rare.” It is also troubling that in addition to being blind to the woes of young men, Prause and Pfaus seem uninterested in the exploitation of the people used to make porn. Ana Bridges and her coauthors recently found that of the top 250 renting and selling porn movies almost 90% show aggression towards women. No wonder porn performer Jenna Jameson, when asked what she would do if her daughter wanted to go into porn, said “I'd tie her in the closet… It's not something that any parent would choose for their child.” Today, if Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle, he would still use a meat industry to illustrate exploitation, but the setting would be Los Angeles instead of Chicago. And if Tinbergen were alive, he wouldn’t even need to prepare the eggs or the fake butterflies. He could use human beings. We are more than brainstems. We aren’t just a collection of dopaminergic neurons designed to fire until we stop. We have a highly evolved neocortex, a telencephalon. We can think and feel. We can love. We want to attach, to belong, and the robot will never suffice. As Cicero said, “If emotion be eliminated, what difference is there, I say not between a man and a brute, but between a man and a rock, or the trunk of a tree, or any inanimate object?” Or a screen or robot? We can do better, and with solid research I think we will. I believe the neocortex will win and human emotion, love, and connection will triumph. Hopefully we will get there sooner rather than later. Dr. Hilton is a neurosurgeon who speaks and writes on neural mechanisms of addiction. He is on the board of directors of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.

We can do better, and with solid research I think we will. I believe the neocortex will win and human emotion, love, and connection will triumph. Hopefully we will get there sooner rather than later.

Message as given by Our Lord 7TH DAY OF THE NOVENA TIME: 9.00P.M DATE:3RD FEBUARY, 1997 As we were praying, in spirit I found myself on a mountain, there I saw Our Lord nailed on the Cross. Blood was flowing out from all the wounds in His body. After sometime the whole place was covered with cloud, Our Lord wore a red robe, and a Crown of Thorns on His head, He said: “My son: let My youths return to Me, O My youths return to Me, return to Me, return to Me. O! Return. Leave all your sinful ways, return to your God, stop fornication, stop fornication – Stop!! Stop!! Stop abortion, I say stop abortion. Let all My people leave adultery. My people make promises to Me and break them, they promise that they will change their lives, but they continue to lie, murder, steal and commit adultery, Crime increases and there is one murder after another. I say stop sin. “My son, the prayer of innocent children disturbs heaven, their cry pains Me much, they say, “Let the time come, let the time come soonest to strike justice, Let the hour come that the Father will reward the world. They continue praying all the time, let the end come, let the end come soonest. Father bring the world to an end so that you will reward the world.” Then I saw a larger number of children who were praying and were surrounded by a few number of Angels. My son, the blood of those who are murdered in this world curses your land – the whole nation of this world, that is why evils are over evils there, sin increases and there are no remedies. For theses evils the Father will send a great Chatisement to the world to purify and bring it to a new state of life, then the new Garden of Eden will appear. He continued, “let all people return to Me. If humanity will change their lives through My Precious Blood, I will save them. My son, pray this Chaplet for the innocent souls of the unborn children, pray this Chaplet of My Precious Blood for them. I promise to save and welcome them in heaven, through My Precious Blood I promise to baptize them and save them. My son, Money, money has destroyed the world. Many souls are lost forever because of money. My son, a man murders his brother because of money, man sacrifices his body to the devil because of money, the same man abandons the living God and worships creature man only because of money. Who is man? I say, Humanity change your lives, leave all your evil ways and come back to your Lord. Come back to Me, I say come back to Me. My son, if humanity will not repent and change its way of life, the Chastisement will come.” Then I saw again the underground world, they were all preparing to come out. Our Lord said, “I will allow this kingdom to rule My people if they do not come back to Me.” I looked again and I saw a great number being slaughtered by the agents of the evil one. He said, “pray and console My Precious Blood, I will hide you in My precious Blood during the hour of persecution. My son, I warn you all to live a complete holy life, live a prayerful life always. I am willing to receive your prayers always. Abstain from meat every Friday and keep watch at least an hour in the midnight of Thursday to Friday, pray for the conversion of the whole world, pray for the lost sheep, pray for non-Catholics, pray for them, through My precious Blood, I promise to bring them back to the new love and unity in My Holy Church. My son, have mercy on Me and pray. On the 5th of this month you will come by 8.00pm, with zeal and happiness. I love you. I bless you.” The vision of the red dragon then appeared, it poured fire from its mouth and destroyed many people, I then shivered and woke up.
