Our Lady of Hrushiv, Ukraine & Message (Conditional) on WORLD WAR 3

 For Discernment and Preparation (Spiritual, Physical)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLSTcC00wXE&t=208s

WORLD WAR 3 - PROPHECY - Our Lady of Hrushiv - UKRAINE Seventy-three years after the 1914 apparition, the Mother of God once again appeared at Hrushiv. On April 26, 1987 – exactly one year after the Chernobyl disaster — a bright light covered the church of the Holy Trinity in Hrushiv, and the Virgin Mary appeared over the cupola. A television program even recorded part of this light phenomenon. 
 
Soon hundreds, then thousands came from all over the USSR to view these apparitions which continued every day until August 15. It is estimated that over 500,000 witnessed these apparitions until they ended. The Soviet militia and KGB could not even begin to control the crowds. 
 
The message was a sequel to the earlier one: “I have come on purpose to thank the Ukrainian people because you have suffered most for the Church of Christ in the last 70 years. I have come to comfort you and to tell you that your suffering will soon come to an end. Ukraine will become an independent state.” And once again, the Holy Mother warned of the dangers coming from Russia and asked people to pray for that country. 
 
“Oppression and wars continue to occupy the minds and hearts of many people. Russia, despite everything, continues to deny my Son. Russia rejects real life and continues to live in darkness. If there is not a return to Christianity in Russia, there will be a Third World War; the whole world will face ruin.”
 
Please watch & share.

God Bless Everyone

BLESSED MOTHER MARY REVEALS TO ST. FAUSTINA



Oh, how pleasing to God is the soul that follows faithfully, the inspirations of His grace! 

I gave the savior to the world; as for you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for His Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful savior, but as a just Judge. Oh, how terrible is that day! 

Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The angels tremble before it.

Speak to souls about this great mercy while there is still time for granting mercy, if you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day. 

Fear nothing, be nothing, be faithful to the end. 

I sympathize with you.” (Diary # 635)

Catholic Bishop sees a shrine in a vision and hears an “interior voice” instructing him to “build a shrine” dedicated to the Divine Mercy of Jesus

Madhya Pradesh, INDIA: St. Theresa's Cathedral Inaugurated. Tallest Divine Mercy Statue in India


Madhya Pradesh, October 02, 2013: On Sept. 30, Cardinal George Alencherry unveiled and blessed a shrine featuring a statue of the Divine Mercy of Jesus, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.


“The statue is 43-feet tall and it proclaims that the Lord is ever merciful to all those who seek him,” Bishop Anthony Chirayath of the Syro-Malabarese Diocese of Sagar told CNA Sept. 28.

Some 20 bishops attended the blessing, as well as around 100 priests and religious. When he spoke to CNA, Bishop Chirayath said that “a presence of about 3,000 Catholic devotees of the Divine Mercy is expected, including pilgrims from the U.S., Canada, France, Germany and Italy,” adding that “a great participation of staunch devotees, even of other faiths, is to be witnessed.”





Bishop Chirayat receives a gift of Vision and Interior Voice 
 
Bishop Chirayat explained that the motivation behind erecting this monumental shrine was through his personal experience some years ago.


While on a visit to the Divine Mercy shrine in San Francisco on Oct. 5, 2007, Bishop Chirayath said he saw a shrine in a vision and heard an “interior voice” instructing him to “build a shrine” in Sagar dedicated to the Divine Mercy of Jesus.


“I was neither aware of, nor a devotee to, the Divine Mercy.”


The image of Divine Mercy, based on visions experienced by 20th century Polish nun St. Faustina Kowalska, depicts Jesus touching his heart, from which red and white rays flow, offering the mercy of God to sinners.

The bishop said that locally, people refer to the Divine Mercy of Jesus as “Dayasagar,” or “Ocean of Mercy,” and that local non-Catholics call him “Prabhu,” or “Lord.”



Divine Mercy Shrine in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh
The shrine is located in Khajuria, near Sagar. The statue weighs 1.5 tons and is placed at a height of 45 feet on a 100-foot concrete structure to protect it from violent storms and earthquakes. It is 16 feet wide, three feet depth, and three inches thick. The rays from the heart of Jesus are 21 feet long.


Tallest Statue


“The original idea was to install a statue of only eight feet,” Bishop Chirayath explained, “but later the vicar general and the curia suggested that we install a statue of 40 feet, but now increased to 43 feet.”


The statue was commissioned to a Catholic sculptor from Kerala, a state on the southern tip of India, named Poly.


The work was completed with contributions from devotees across India, and without making any appeals or undertaking fund-raising drives, the bishop said.


“People heard of this construction and voluntary contacted us, contributing small amounts.”


In addition, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, rector of the U.S. national shrine of the Divine Mercy, gave a painting of the devotion to the Syro-Malabar Diocese of Sagar. It was installed in the shrine at Khajuria in 2007, and the diocese was then consecrated to the Divine Mercy.



Numerous Miracles 
Since then, numerous miracles have been reported and recorded, particularly among non-Catholics. The shrine has become very popular, and Bishop Chirayath himself has reported being cured there of a malign tumor. He noted that the shrine is contributing to inter-religious dialogue in the area.


The shrine, which already has a perpetual adoration chapel as well as a relic of St. Faustina, will be expanded in the future.


On Oct. 1, Cardinal Alencherry also consecrated St. Theresa Cathedral for the Sagar diocese.

St. Theresa’s Cathedral (formerly known as St. Raphael’s Church) in Sagar (Saugor) Cantonment is the first and the oldest Catholic Christian settlement in the present Sagar Division. The Catholic presence dates back to late 1850s, when European Christians as well as Indian Christians served in the British Regiment of Infantry and Cavalry units of Saugor. Though the first recorded baptism in Sagar (Saugor) was on January 1, 1863, records give witness to the Catholic Christian presence in Sagar (Saugor) Cantonment by the very fact that the first burial of Catholic soldier took place on June 3, 1859 in the Christian cemetery at Sagar Cantonment.


Tallest Statue


The foundation stone of the first Catholic Church known as St. Raphael’s Church was laid by Rev. Fr. Raffaele Mecchi da Livorno OFM. Cap. on December 13, 1874. The church was consecrated by Rt. Rev. Dr. Francesco Pesci OFM. Cap., the first Bishop of Allahabad, on October 24, 1890. When the new Exarchate of Sagar was created on July 29, 1968, it became the official church of the Exarchate. It was formally raised to the status of Cathedral of Sagar Diocese on February 26, 1977, when the Exarchate was raised to the status of a Diocese. The church was closed for reconstruction on August 15, 2010. The cathedral was renamed after the Diocesan Patroness, St. Theresa of Child Jesus on October 1, 2010 and on the very same day, the foundation stone for the present church was laid by His Excellency Mar Anthony Chirayath, Bishop of Sagar. The present rebuilt Church was consecrated by His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alencherry, Major Archbishop of Syro-Malabar Catholic Church on October 1, 2013 and was reopened again for worship. The vibrant Catholic congregation consists of local Catholics and military personnel. St. Theresa’s Cathedral stands as a living witness to Jesus Christ through actions of peace, prayer, love and mercy. This historical Church is open to all.




Salient Features


St. Theresa’s Cathedral Church is an example of perfect cultural and architectural adaptation of Indian as well as Gothic architecture in the Church building. The main theme of this church is Christ-centric. The Church is constructed in the shape of a Cross.


The Wall of the Madbaha or Garbhagriha or the Holy of Holies is built in the form of a Chalice and paten, and in the middle of it, the Salvific suffering of Jesus Christ on the Calvary is depicted in the form of a Crucifix. A wooden relief work of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ is kept in front of the Main Altar in the Madbaha. On the top front arch of the Madbaha, displays the St. Thomas Cross carved in wood.





There are two side altars where the mercy and second coming of Jesus Christ in Divine Mercy and Ascension respectively are presented at the centre in the form of canvas painting. The upper window glasses in the Church show the passion of Jesus Christ for the Salvation of mankind through the Way of Cross. The lower window glasses in the church depict some of the life events of Jesus Christ. The twelve fan frames in the church carry the name of Jesus in twelve languages like Aramaic (the language spoken by Jesus in his lifetime), Hebrew, Greek, Hindi, Urdu, German, Italian, Tamil, Punjabi, Marathi, Telgu and Malayalam. On the top of the Six-edged dome, the symbols of Alpha and Omega are kept to show to the world that Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end. The two bell-towers in the front part of the Church ring out the joy of Good News. The two glass pictures of Mary, who brought forth Jesus Christ to the world and St. John the Baptist, the one who come to prepare the way of the Lord are placed in the front windows of the Church. The baptisry is placed in front of the right side altar symbolizing the Sacraments of Christian Initiation.


There are four side doors and one Main Door. On the Main door, there are two logos sculptured namely Year of Faith and St. Theresa’s Cathedral. Since the Cathedral is being consecrated in the Year of Faith, it is relevant to show at the main door of the Church, that this historical building in the City of Sagar stands for Christian faith. Top of every door, there are pictures of musical instruments in glass work which symbolize worship, welcome, praise, sacrifice, sharing and listening to the word of the Lord.


There are four statutes namely Mother Mary, St. Joseph, St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Theresa of Child Jesus. These statues are kept on two side altars in the Church. 

A holy relic (bone) of St. Theresa of Child Jesus is place in the middle of the left Side Altar. The Holy Myron or the Holy Chrism is placed in middle of the right side Altar.





The tabernacle on the main altar symbolizes the Arc of the Covenant. It stands as a symbol of the great promise of the Lord in the Old Testament in the Bible. On the top of the Tabernacle, the Great ten commandments of the Lord are engraved. There are two angles standing at both side of the tabernacle as a symbol of protecting the Arc of the Covenant.


The Cathedra or the Bishop’s official Chair is kept on the right side of the Altar. It is the throne (thronos) of the bishop in his cathedral church, on which he presides at solemn functions.


The glass pictures in the steel railings at the balcony in the Church show seven sacraments of Christian life.


A museum of Christian monuments of Sagar is displayed in the left side bell-tower and an another display of “Glimpses of History – Sagar Cathedral” in the right side bell-tower of the Church. The antique articles like vestments, flags, books etc. are displayed in the balcony of the Church.


There is a shrine dedicated to Mary of Good Health in the right side of the Church. A flag mast or the Dhwaj (or) Dhvaja Stambha is erected in front of the Church.

Divine Mercy Devotion - while there is still time

Do you wish to work with Love for love, with Mercy for mercy

Your help is urgently needed to spread the Message of God's Mercy and Love ... "while there is still time."

In this lifetime we may never know the many number of souls that will be saved by our simple act ;

in the next life, God's loving works  will be fully revealed and how our obedience to His call made a difference to His plan of salvation;

but nevertheless, while we're here in this momentary life on earth,  we know that the angels and the entire heavenly court rejoice the moment we say "YES" to God's call and we work to spread the Message of His Divine Mercy. 


PLEASE  ACT  NOW !  

Our Lord Jesus Christ said:  "Tell all souls about My Divine Mercy."

"Souls who spread the honour of My mercy I shield through their entire life as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a judge for them, but the Merciful Saviour..." (1075-Diary of St. Faustina)


The Divine Mercy Devotion

Our Blessed Lord appeared to Saint Faustina and revealed His Divine Mercy for the world.
Here are some excerpts of conversations with the Lord from Blessed Faustina's diary.


The Image

"I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature:"Jesus, I trust in You".

"Paint an image according to the pattern you see with the signature:" Jesus, I trust in you.

"I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world."

"I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish."

"I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory."

The two rays denote Blood and Water. "The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls.

These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross."



The Feast of Divine Mercy

"I want this image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, the depths of My Divine Mercy will be open to all."

"Whoever will go to confession and Holy Communion on that day will receive complete forgiveness of sin and punishment. Mankind will not enjoy peace until it returns to My Mercy."

"Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy."


The Divine Mercy Chaplet

"Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this Chaplet; the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who say the chaplet."

"Say unceasingly this Chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy."

"When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just judge but as the Merciful Saviour"

"My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you."

 
The Novena

"On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls."

"On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls---none have I excluded!"

"The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy."


The Hour of Mercy

"At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion."

"As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice."


The Acts of Mercy

"I demand from you deeds of mercy which are to arise out of love for Me."

"You are to show mercy to your neighbours always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse yourself from it."

"I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbour:
the first - by deed, the second - by word, the third - by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy."

"Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul."

"If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the Day of Judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy"

Divine Mercy 

Adorable Mercy of God
Jesus said to St. Faustina:  
“What you have written about My Mercy is but a drop compared to the ocean. 
I am love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for my Mercy.” 

See (Is.1: 18)
"And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool. "

Jesus says:
“Let the greatest of sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in my bottomless mercy.


Mercy For Tormented Souls
My daughter, write about my mercy toward tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to my mercy delight me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to my compassion, but on the contrary I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. 

Write:  
Before I come as a just judge, I first open wide the door of my mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of my mercy must pass through the door of my justice…” (1146)


Assignment to St Faustina

Jesus said to St. Faustina: 
Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for Mercy for the whole world. “Run through the whole world and tell of my Mercy”

These are the words said by Jesus to St. Faustina. “To the souls who spread the honour of My Mercy…at the hour of death, I will not be a judge for them, but a merciful Savoir” (1057)


Prayer most pleasing to Jesus
“The prayer most pleasing to Me, is prayer for the conversion of sinners … this prayer is always heard and answered.”(1397) 
“Tell souls about the great Mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of justice is near” (965). 
“I am giving mankind the last hope of salvation; that is, recourse to My Mercy” (998)

The above words show to us clearly how anxious is Jesus to forgive the sinners.


Rage of Satan

During a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, St. Faustina was appealing for divine Mercy for the repentance of hard hearted sinners. With great unction, she had been praying during the adoration, that through her powerful prayer, she could pull away many sinners from the clutches of the devil. Divine Mercy Prayer was her main prayer and that too for the conversion of sinners. 
After the adoration, St. Faustina found herself surrounded by a pack of huge black dogs, which were jumping and howling and trying to tear her to pieces. Instantly she realized they were not dogs but demons. One of them spoke up in a rage, “because you have snatched so many souls away from us this night, we will tear you to pieces.”

Sr. Faustina answered, “if that is the will of the Most Merciful God …” As soon as the demons heard the mentioning of the ‘Most Merciful God’, they all ran away saying “let us flee, the Almighty is with her” And they vanished like dust.(320)


Divine Mercy Chaplet – A Mission
On Friday, Sept. 13, 1935 the Lord revealed to Sr. Faustina a powerful means to obtain God’s Mercy for the world. Because of divine wrath, an angel was going to strike and destroy a particular part of the world. Sr. Faustina implored the angel to hold off for a few moments and that the world would do penance. She was mysteriously taken before the awesome presence of the Most Holy Trinity and she prayed and interceded with such inner power as never before.

As St. Faustina was praying with repeated entreaties one could see the helplessness of the angels to carry out the just punishments, which are due for sins. When St. Faustina said this prayer, she heard the following words: This prayer will serve to appease my wrath. You will recite it for nine days, on the beads of the rosary. “This Chaplet mitigates God’s anger, as He Himself told me” (1036)
In her own words: “I am conscious of my mission. My constant endeavour is to plead for Mercy for the world. My sacrifice is nothing in itself, but when I join the same to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it becomes all powerful and has the power to appease divine wrath…the painful passion of the Son of God constantly turns aside the wrath of God.

Disciples of Divine Mercy
We are the sons and daughters of Divine Mercy; if we want to be perfect disciples of the God of Mercy, we also should exercise deeds of Mercy. Jesus wants us to show Mercy to our neighbours always and everywhere. We should not shrink from this obligation.


How to be merciful to others?

Towards our neighbours, we should exercise our Mercy in the following ways:
1. By deed,
2. By word,
3. By prayer- in these three degrees is contained the fullness of Mercy.

This is an unquestionable proof of our love for Jesus.


Zeal for the conversion of sinners

The culmination of our mercy is manifested in the fervent recitation of divine Mercy rosary and Novenas. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to His mercy. The first Sunday after Easter is the feast of mercy, but there must also be acts of mercy. 

Jesus says:
“I demand the worship of my mercy through the solemn celebration of the Feast and through the veneration of the Image. By means of this image, I shall grant many graces to souls…even the strongest faith is of no avail without works.”(742). 

 
During the retreat, St.Faustina got an inspiration: “I shall fight all evil with the weapon of mercy. I am being burned by a desire to save souls. I traverse with the world’s length and breadth and venture as far as its ultimate limits and its wildest lands to save souls. I do this through Prayer and sacrifice. I want every soul to glorify the Mercy of God” (745). 

Sister realized that in her great desire to save souls, she must become a pure victim of love; the path is marked by Jesus. The path of suffering, contempt, ridicule, persecution and humiliation would be her step stones to ascend the peak of holiness and apostolic zeal.
