10.13.24 – Finding Joy Amidst Adversity In The Truth Of Love

Transcript

[Music] At age 10, Father Andre escaped Christian massacres by living in caves and mountain Lebanon with his family. Today, Father Andre works tirelessly to encourage American leaders to keep God in the public square, defending religious freedom at home and abroad so that all might live in peace for the glory of God. Founder and President of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, Father Andre has learned the secret to safety, joy and peace. Love God and one another. Now, let us spend 33 minutes on the Lord’s day, retuning ourselves to the truth of love in the hands of God. Praise me the most holy name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now and forever and ever in the hand. Good Holy Son, the morning, my dearly beloved brothers, in the Lord and I wish that we spend the rest of the day in which we, as Christians, all over the world, we praise the Lord and we thank Him for giving us our salvation. This is a day that initiates the entire week. This is a day after the Sabbath day in which we begin first and praise the Lord, seeking the Kingdom of Heaven and the righteousness of God’s Kingdom, then throughout the entire week, everything else will be added for us. For those who are listening to the show for the first time, I want to renew my welcome to you. And I hope you can go to our website, MissionOfHopeandMercy.org, that is MissionOfHopeandMercy.org, and please sign up to receive our frequent emails. I want to also ask you for a big favor, what should we love, say to the people in us, mission of God, or that is of hope, mercy, and the purpose of this is to give us as to how you wish. And that we can’t end it in episodes. Today, because the story we got disconnected, so today we will continue to spell the petition and the Father. It seems in fact, and closer to the merits of Christmas, merits in terms of doing an accomplished mission in the world, presidential elections in the United States, and also in many other nations in the world. It seems that humanity comes more and more aware of the difficulties and the many challenges, the many tribes, the many lies, the many deceits, and the many treatments that we as a humanity are facing. Just look around from the natural disasters to hurricanes, to war, there is a break, I’m a larger and larger, a new force that actually attack people, new forms, and kind of bombs are being dropped, whether by size, whether by weight, whether by depth in the earth, and by the effect of what they cause as damage. Of course, there is something going on and we in the United States we count that the outcome of this presidential election, which we are heading towards on the first Tuesday of November, that we will do more peace, we will pursue more law and order, and we will have more unity, we will have more lasting, we might say, economic stability for our nation, that we can, on our stability, the best of our values as Americans, which are always founded on our Judeo-Christian principle of life. So today, on the show, I like us to speak a little bit more about the miracle of the sun, you know, today is October 13th. October 13th is a very important day of many Catholics in the world. It doesn’t really go back to an actual feast day, to an commemoration, but it’s a miracle, it’s an event. The miracle of the sun at approving extra-ordinary supernatural miracle as a historical event, which actually took place in Fatima, in Portugal, back on October 13th, 1970. And if I were to describe the phenomenon, I ask you definitely to go on the search engine, and you can only internet search for the miracle of the sun, Fatima 1917, it will tell you all about it. The good things, and of course the interpretation of this phenomenon, but we know for fact that during that day, there was a dancing for the sun in the sky. Yes, the sun danced in the sky. But remember that day, now, the hurricanes and weathercast, the broadcast for that day in 1917, which people saw, was a heavily rainy day. There was rain all over the place in Portugal, specifically in the areas of the Fatima town, where there were those three little shepherds to whom our lady, our lady, Queen of Peace, we call her our lady, according to Catholic tradition and Orthodox tradition, we call her the Stéococos or Mary the Mother of God. She was appearing probably since May of 1917, all the way until October of 1917 on monthly basis, on the date of the 13th of every month. And of course, there, and her apparitions in Fatima, she announced a plan of kings that God the Father wanted to establish for all the nations of the earth. She also gave it to these little shepherds and the names of the three little children to whom our lady appeared in Fatima, were Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. And with that, a story on a spiritual level, it tells that our lady kept asking these little children to pray the rosary for the peace and the world for the end of the first world war, the ending of the first world war. And of course to save people from health. We are told that three secrets that our lady gave to these little children, our lady showed them the image of hell, our lady told them how will the first world and she predicted also that a skinned world war would begin if people do not repent. And also, in a third secret, there’s this package of multiple secrets of global cosmic, geopolitical and religious persecution events. And phenomena that might happen in the world that unless people really pray for peace, unless people awaken and they do what we call illumination of conscience, that the worst is yet to happen and that humanity will suffer and then many nations will become politically wiped out from existence and people will suffer all around the world. And all of this concluded in these visions that lasted every 13th of the month, May, June, July, August, September is the only month our lady could not appear to the children because the children were actually in jail. Not sure if it was August 13 or September 13, but as the children were aiming to go to the place where our lady would not really appear to them, the socialist regime of Portugal took those little children and put them in jail. So in such a way, the apparitions could not take place. The children instead spent a few days inside the jail was worse criminals that there could be found in the area and they were threatened of being executed and killed. But on October 13, the day like today, it was a rainy day. It was pre-announced ahead of time that on that day, our lady will give an obvious sign in extra ordinary phenomenon. A supernatural phenomenon will happen at the sight of all the people who will be gathered in front of the place where our lady was appearing in Fatima Portugal, which is basically inside the prairies or the gardens of one of the people inside the property, basically, but in fields, in front of everyone. And the people came to see the sign except that that day was occupied, was heavy, heavy, heavy rain. High wind, people were sunk in mud and it was so hard to arrive to the place. If you see the movie and watch the movie, you will understand exactly what I’m talking about and you can read also the story of the miracle of the sun in Fatima Portugal on October 13, and they like to date in 1917. And Lucia, Francesco Angesinta, they come to the place where our lady would appear above a little tree. And they started, they knelt down in the mud and they started playing. In all the sudden, there was about 7,000 people. We are told about 70,000 people. The local newspapers even spoke about this phenomenon. They were making fun. What kind of miracle is our lady gonna show? And as the day was filled with rain and high wind and floods in the area. And so it was so difficult for the people who were carrying so many sick people with them to come with the means of transportation which were not really accommodating. In that time, they came to that place and the fields to see a miracle. In all the sudden, as Lucia, Jacinta and Francesco started to pray kneeling down during the Holy Rosary, our lady appears. And then, Lucia points always in the direction. So she’s looking at our lady. Lucia would be looking at our lady. Our lady would indicate with her finger looking at the sun. So, Lucia would tell the people, “Look at the sun and the people laughing.” Like, “What kind of sun we want to look at and it’s raining?” In all the sudden, the rain stops. The clouds disappear and they started making a space. And the sun appears and then the sun started dancing in the sky. And after the sun started dancing in the sky, the sun fell from its place and it started coming down closer and closer towards the people. Many people were screaming and yelling and making the acts of contrition. And these a few seconds, people thought they were gonna experience the death in the fire of hell. In all the sudden, the sun spaced back out and took back its place up in the sky. And the people looked around and there was not one single drop of a humanity or of water, not on their clothes, not on the ground. And there was a complete dry land and a sunny afternoon, after the miracle of the sun took place. And this was the miracle of the sun. Many people from neighbor and towns also they saw the miracle of the sun dancing in the sky. The newspaper reported this miracle of the sun and the miracle of the sun was a key factor in the decision of the Catholic Church and the Vatican to approve of the miracle of the sun and of the divine apparition as a supernatural miracle or phenomenon that our Lady, the Mother of God, the Theotokos, the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, did appear in Portugal in 1970. What I like to talk to you about today, just look at the together we wanna look at the political context in which our Lady came in Portugal in 1917, leading to the miracle of the sun. Because really it makes this story very valuable and very important for us. First of all, this miracle as I said earlier was witnessed by over 70,000 people in Portugal and people in the neighbor and towns in the neighbor and villages in that same country reported actually seeing the sun dancing in the sky on that day. Also the miracle of the sun took place, you know, one month, one month I would say after the local socialist reign in regime had tried to put these children into the jail. So these children were suffering persecution and the people were denied the possibility to come to the place where the children and the apparitions were gathering and they were taken place. So there was an official state or local government led difficulty, oppression and form of persecution intimidation against the children so that these apparitions will not take place. They were even threatened that they would be put to jail. They were actually put to jail and they were threatened to be executed. The children in fact, after they were put into the jail, decided to spend their few nights in jail to pray next to these criminals who were put with them, adults with these little three children. And a story tells us that these criminals repented and they saw the light of heaven. They saw the call of our lady. They did experience this beautiful internal calling and repentance for peace and they regretted their crimes and many of them in fact, as they either spent their days in jail or they can out they ask to be confessed and they repented to Almighty God. So the effect of the prayer of the Rosary was taken place right then and there amongst the worst criminals inside the jail with these three children who operated as the apostles for peace, the apostles for the prayer. This miracle of the sun also came at the time, remember during which the European nations were living in the out of clear room. We were living in the post-François revolution of 1789. We were living after the industrial revolution. We were living at a time where Nietzsche, the German author, the German philosopher had already announced to the world that God is that and said it clearly, God is that. And the miracle of the sun and the apparitions of our lady in Fatima in Portugal in 17 May through October 13 came while the European society had already drifted away from God, believing that God is totally irrelevant. God is no longer irrelevant. In fact, they proclaimed that science is now the master, the Lord, that governs the human existence and all of creation. In fact, the first fruit after the miracle of the sun had occurred and taken place is the fall of the local socialist government. Shortly after, in fact, the local government, the socialist government fell in Portugal. Or we call probably one of the commonest governments or the atheist government fell actually, who was trampled and was taken over. Remember also that during that same year 1917, the first secret that was announced by our lady, according to which when the kids started to train the rosy, that she said soon the world, the war will end, the war will end, referring to the world war one. In fact, if we look at the context of this miracle of the sun, you know, the war ended on November 11 of 1918. So almost one year and one month and a few days after the miracle of the sun had taken place on October 13 of 1917. Also, if you look in the same geopolitical context of Portugal, remember that the first Portuguese republic was established or created in 1910. And I’m not sure if you know what does that mean that the Portuguese republic was created. It was created based on atheist principles. There is no God. It banned the clergy from wearing their outfits, their clerics basically. It banned drinking the bells of the churches. It banned all forms of public worship. It banned the Catholic school education. It confiscated and took over all church properties inside Portugal. And after that, exactly seven years later, when the miracle of the sun happened, our lady predicted the near end of World War One with also the local atheist government ended inside Portugal. Let’s go deeper to something that concerns us today. Is this a historical miracle? With all its effects being concluded, did we come to a conclusion after the miracle of the sun in Fatima of 1917? Or there is still something yet to happen? And this is where the actual mystery actually and the interpretations and if we may call it the discernment is still to happen. Remember, as I said, three secrets were announced by our lady that will take a place or were given to the children in Fatima. Namely, we are interested in a third secret, and a third secret, which was formerly formulated in 1926, almost by Lucia, who gave it to the local bishop, who then gave it to the Vatican. So our lady announces, according to this third secret, that unless Russia, which was commoners by, definitely by 1926, the Bolshevik Revolution had started in 1917 as well and took over the far-range in Russia, unfortunately killing the orthodoxy and the reign of the Soviet Union began with Lenin and with the Stalin after him. Our lady says, unless Russia is consecrated and the great fort to convert, the errors of communism will spread, and the third world war will take place, and this third world war will end much of a humanity most likely. In fact, in the package of the few pages that Lucia was taught to write by obedience to the local bishop to her priest, you know, she put some ensemble or group of phenomena of events will happen in politics, in religion, persecution, there is a global persecution against the Catholic church and against the faith in general, and the cosmic events will happen, days of darkness, some of them interpret that there will be days of darkness, but we know for fact that whatever was announced in the third Sikh or in the Vatican, and it was supposed to be announced by 1962. And of course, the church, for it seems prudent reasons, prudent reasons, because the magnitude that the content of the Sikh could produce on planet Earth was to actually scare the people and somehow, so the church said what we know is that the outcome of the third Sikh would be avoided by prayer and the prayer of the Rosary. So the church actually collaborated with the third secret one when Pope John Paul II consecrated Russia in 1980s and the world for peace, and of course Pope Francis repeated the consecration, and today we ask that this consecration for the sacred heart of Jesus and the triumph of the immaculate heart of Mary will happen in fact in every home, in every nation of the work for the sake of peace and through the prayer of the Rosary. This is Father Andrei speaking to you on this beautiful Sunday morning with our radio show Good Sunday morning was Father Andrei spending these wonderful minutes with one another and each other speaking about this extraordinary and supernatural phenomenon of 1917 that happened in Fatima, which today is a commemoration for this miracle of the Sun trying to gather to determine and to discern what do we lose if we Christian pray for peace do we lose anything whether we believe in this miracle of the Sun or not do we really lose something if we pray for peace what is it that we lose if we pray for the illumination of conscience what is it that we lose if we put our human conduct in a valid way and pray together for peace are really going to lose something but the alternative is bad. If the human behavior remains to continue being corrupt to continue to remain being away from God there is lots of risks that we are taken humanity will fight the thank commandments if we continue to break each one of these thank commandments most likely we don’t have a good harmonious society we will no longer have a peace in our society imagine if everybody steals imagine if everybody fornicates imagine if everybody disrespects God and this honors mom and dad and don’t respect the Sabbath don’t take a day of rest imagine if everybody desires a person’s other person’s property other person’s lives or continue to lie or continue to kill or continue to do the wrong things that they do what kind of society would that be if everyone of the thank commandments is broken so my friends the challenge is that deliver us from evil does not really require a big miracle and a big warning from God to happen whether through our lady and the miracle of the sun or through apparitions of our lady that we as Catholics and Christians through the study of the Bible the recommendation of the moral theology we continue to encourage people to invite the people to live according to the thank commandments live according to specific values do not leave your values because values are necessary thank commandments are important if a humanity wants to ensure a stable future without war a stable future with fear prosperity for all a stable future where we can fight against poverty against the problems in our society to promote the real meaning of social justice that today the world is counting to try to fight against and to try to actually serve in matter to serve the migrants serve the poverty support in a world producing a better human health for a humanity you cannot accomplish any of that without the thank commandments we cannot accomplish any of that without internally desiring peace we cannot achieve any of that without being fair and square with one another and deciding to live in a responsible behavior of a freedom a responsible behavior through which we live according to a code of ethics and eliminated conscience otherwise we will be accomplishing loss of armarchy in this world so deliver us from evil the seventh petition in a prayer of the our father depends first and foremost on our behavior so let us pray that humanity will adjust its behavior as we insurmount of the Lord the Lord is the earth and its fullness the world and all its peoples the people who set us up others he made it firm so remember with that the Lord is in control and we have to collaborate with the divine will by putting our acts together and living as a people of a peace doing acts of peace desiring peace and living in the life otherwise the end might happen not through a nuclear bomb not through a big cosmic event but because of the corruption of our human behavior so we do have a responsibility to behave well for the sake of our families for the sake of our future and the world of peace and this is my prayer please do not forget to go on our website and encourage the work of the mission of hope and mercy that is mission of hope and mercy dot org we count on your support so we can continue doing the good work we’re doing in the Middle East supporting the persecuted Christians and trying to promote the culture and the civilization of peace of a freedom and of faith and the elimination of our conscience according to God’s will according to the 10 commandments to what the bible tell us again go on our website mission of hope and mercy and please find ways to help us let us pray together to thank God for this wonderful day of holy Sunday and almighty God bless us all we can give peace joy and victory in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and now my friends in the last few minutes I want us to go to song 24 and together I want to seek of peace so that says our homes our cars our places of work have you thought of them as hopefully have you ever thought to consecrate your homes to consecrate your place of work consecrate the city the streets where you are walking the coffee shops where you go to frequent the restaurants where you go to eat have you ever thought that a blessing the food before you eat and thank God for the gift of food after you eat actually means a lot to heaven it helps us sharing with God prosperity that was given to us to share the goodness of the earth according to God’s will with other people on plan of earth remember every move we make every initiative we do on a spiritual level has effects it resonates in this world and it gives this world one more day of light consequently my friend it is important that we look at these phenomenons whether through the apparitions of our lady or through our own personal spiritual and religious experience that we do to show and to know and to realize that we are participants in the Lord’s will when we ourselves obey God’s divine will we invite the Lord to make an entry into our hearts into our bodies by of the Holy Spirit then by opening up was love towards one another I look at the situation in the Middle East and as you can tell I’m still avoiding to speak about the world that is happening in Lebanon in Israel in Palestine in Syria and Iraq and Ukraine and Russia I do not want to speak about those things because you hear them on the news every day but I want to speak about something more unique how can we stop these words from happening is to open a door for heaven to act on planet earth how can we open this door for heaven to act on earth what is the very first thing do you know what the principle that God used to create us as a human beings when God said in the book of Genesis let us make man in our image and the likeness this is the key that I am interested in the more we act with knowledgeable information that we have been created according to God’s divine will in his image and in his likeness so in our body in our soul in our spirit and we were given dominance we were given this dominance to go and dominate it was given to Adam to nominate to create the names of all the animals it was given to Adam and to Eve to procreate and all the sudden we see us at every step of the way giving up our role giving up our dominance bring up the source of our existence which is God rejecting God is crazy it’s like a group suicide it’s so ill-sighted so we as a Christian in the world whether on this radio or everyone else who you can make this message reach to we have an obligation when we go to vote in our presidential election in the United States when you vote to your mayor when you vote to your city council and you vote for the president of the United States you have an obligation to vote not only be in a citizen of your country of our country in the US we have an obligation to remember I am voting reflecting in me who lives in me who created me who gave me dominance in this earth who gave me the thank him manness you have to vote according to your Christian conscience knowing that you have been created in God’s image and in God’s likeness and in such a way when you vote of course unfortunately it is a fact that sometimes we have to choose the less certain vote but yet more so we have to choose the best good the best good and the best good that is we vote based on who protects life and life is from the womb to the tomb we vote based on the fact for the one who can enable us to promote world peace and the peace cannot be fake the peace has to be a peace based on God’s will and when the peace is based on God’s divine will it’s a peace that actually perpetuates salvation remember we are here on planet earth and we are passing through this earth
