Something's brewing among #Catholics in Pennsylvania

[Scott L. Smith, Jr. @scottsmith8100]

From Catholic friends in Pennsylvania re: #TrumpVance2024:
Last night (Thursday, October 10, 2024) we witnessed here in West Chester, PA, an extremely vivid display of the northern lights, or Aurora Borealis. It was absolutely breathtaking!

As I was lying in bed I heard, "Remember what I said in Fatima about the next world war. When the world witnesses lights in the sky the next war is on the horizon"
(paraphrasing as I don't recall exact phrases from the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima or the exact dates of historical events). I believe this was in mid to late summer of 1939 that the northern lights were seen all throughout Europe and then in late fall Germany marched into Austria. Then Poland. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Were the northern lights that were witnessed throughout the continental United States on Thursday, October 10, 2024, Our Lady's Warning to America?

Was it coincidental that President Trump, who had just RETURNED to Butler, Pennsylvania, (the site at which his first [that we know of] assassination attempt occurred on July 13, the day at Fatima in 1917 that Our Lady of Fatima opened the earth and showed the children the vision hell) on Saturday, October 5th (Feast of St. Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy Saint) remembered the attempt, the people injured, and the Patriot killed, with the bell tolling four (4) times, followed by the beautiful "Ave Maria"?

Was it coincidental that, while rallying in Long Island, New York, President Trump received a relic from the True Cross of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior AND The Brown Scapular?

Was it a coincidence that President Trump acknowledged St. Michael the Archangel on His Feast Day, September 29th?

Was it a coincidence that President Trump wished Our Blessed Mother a Happy Birthday on September 8th, the day which the Church recognizes as the Nativity of Our Blessed Mother?

Is it a coincidence that President Trump has a statue of St. Michael the Archangel AND a statue of Our Lady of Fatima in places where he works and lives?

Oh, and after being hit by that bullet, as blood poured from his ear, President Trump rose to his feet, raised his fist, and exclaimed, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" And what did Our Lady of LaSalette say to the children at LaSalette? "FIGHT! Children of the Light! FIGHT!"

I'm not a betting person, but I would say that Heaven is sending more than a few messages.

Ave Maria! Ora pro nobis!

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle ... !

[Scott L. Smith, Jr. @scottsmith8100]

Happy Feast of the Archangels!!
Ask your priest to pray the Pray of St. Michael at the end of Mass today!

Read the story behind the St. Michael's Prayer and the conversation Pope Leo XIII overheard between Jesus and Satan:

In 1886 Pope Leo XIII instituted what would later be known as the “Leonine Prayers” after Mass. These prayers include the well-known Prayer to St. Michael. Pope Leo had a profound vision that sparked its creation.

The vision occurred between 1884 and 1886 and took place during the celebration of Mass. Pope Leo had a visible change come over his face during the vision and one claims that his face was “pale and fearful.”

A cardinal at the time who knew the pope’s private secretary explains that “Pope Leo XIII truly had a vision of demonic spirits, who were gathering on the Eternal City (Rome). From that experience … comes the prayer which he wanted the whole Church to recite.”

Pope Leo witnessed a conversation between Jesus and Satan:

Satan says to Jesus: “I can destroy your Church.”

Jesus replies: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”

Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”

Jesus: “How much time? How much power?

Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”

Jesus: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”

Pope Leo’s vision prompted him to quickly compose the Prayer to St. Michael, and to request its use at the end of Low Masses. The pope lived during particularly turbulent times, and he believed prayer was needed to dispel the darkness that hung over the world. A longer prayer to St. Michael, sometimes known as the exorcism prayer although it was not intended for use in actual exorcism rituals, was approved by the pope 3 years later in two versions, one for clergy and one for lay individual prayer.

St. Michael the Archangel is recorded in the Book of Revelation as, “fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven” (Revelation 12:7-9). Based on this episode in scripture, St. Michael is frequently depicted in art thrusting a lance, spear or sword into Satan, who is often depicted as a serpent or dragon.

Where did the #Bible come from? Most Bible-loving Christians can't answer this! Yet it destroys the idea of Sola Scriptura, because (1) Luther and Calvin *removed* books from the Bible, AND (2) the Bible is the fruit of the Tradition 😱😱 of the Catholic Church.

The best Taylor could do was celebrate the baby's survival after so close a brush with death

[Insider News @InsiderNews]

The best Taylor could do was suggest the patient go to Kansas and Colorado — not an ideal solution.

Sounds like a reason to celebrate 🥂🥂🥂🥂

[Insider News @InsiderNews]

The Tulsa Women's Clinic has mostly sat empty since Oklahoma outlawed abortion last month. Now, they're packing up for good.

@WaltHickey and photographer @MichaelNobleJr talked to Tiffany Taylor, the supervising nurse, about the day Roe fell. ⬇️

[Scott L. Smith, Jr. @scottsmith8100]

Learned this from @amculbreath at Ruth Institute Summit:
- 18.8M black people in USA 1960
- 19M black people aborted from #RoeVsWade to #Dobbs
We've aborted MORE THAN the entire population of blacks from 1960
