War with Iran: How to Prepare?

The most responsible thing I can do is say “prepare accordingly,” and to do so with prayer.

I’m not going to tell people to freak out or to hoard as much as they can. You are responsible FOR YOU. You make the decisions and live with them.

No one has a crystal ball, at least I don’t. Unlike some others, I do not claim to be receiving special messages (be very cautious about such people). Not knowing the actual future, all I can say right now is:

Prepare for supply shortages and inflation. Pray the Rosary every day (you don’t have to do it perfectly, just do it, the Blessed Mother knows you are human and probably dealing with a lot, as we all are).

The Holy Rosary will give you great peace of mind and help mitigate more chastisement. People must turn back to God, or further calamity will surely come. (My personal opinion is that the Chastisement began with the dropping of the atomic bombs upon Japan, Lord have mercy +++ that is not to say the poor people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bore any greater guilt than the rest of us.) Physical conditions always follow spiritual conditions. “As above, so below.” We have been playing God with reproductive technology and many other things. We can only conclude the hour is very late.

Prepare for the worst. Expect the best.

Our Lady of Fatima foresaw these times and gave us the antidote in her requests!

Pray for peace! Pray for the unborn, for we will never have peace with violence in the womb.

Another Take on Trad Persecution (you've probably never heard)

When considering negative occurrences in the Church, and there have been many, needless to say…we must ask ourselves, “Why is God allowing this? He said the gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church. He said He would not leave us orphans.” So we must believe Him. He must have a plan. We may never know the plan, but it can’t hurt to ask for understanding. And we know Satan always defeats himself in the end. His “greatest” moment, the Crucifixion of Our Lord, was also his greatest undoing.

Could it be that the persecution of the Tridentine Mass will actually become a protection? We might envision a world in which the Church is attacked by the state. Churches locked down (sound familiar?), property confiscated, maybe worse…as Don McLean prophesied, “The church bells all were broken.” If the traditionalists are already sent away and quarantined in our own little ghettos (as Taylor Marshall likes to say), this may serve as a protection. The government won’t be looking for the crappy once-Protestant chapel, in the middle of nowhere. They will go after what is most visible. They will attack our most prominent symbols of power and influence. They will wrench the Holy Eucharist from the hands of the unworthy (this is not to say all who attend the Novus Ordo are unworthy, many are very holy and I attend it myself at times, but it ought to be common knowledge that there is a great crisis of faith and knowledge among many Catholics, who receive Our Lord less than properly disposed). The wheat and grape crops will probably die from famine or direct intervention in this world of chastisement. The state doesn’t always know the true purpose of what it’s doing, but the Devil does. He never forgets his true enemy.

Those self-sufficient rural Catholic communities may wind up being preserved and untouched. God needs His Church to continue…a smaller, but holier Church. Would He do any less than protect His own most faithful?

So yes, let’s fight for what is right and just. But if it doesn’t go our way, we must trust in God, His Providence, Omniscience and Omnipotence. Trust and humbly accept our sufferings, if we must, until that day of triumph!

“In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
