Sodom and Gomorrah live right here in America.
MESSAGE #2930 from the Blessed Mother October 27, 2006
My daughter, This message is for the world. I say to my children, prepare, prepare and do your part for the salvation of souls. Time is moving quickly, so please listen to my heavenly plea.
The United States will be punished as so many have turned away from God. Evil has become widespread because so many are giving in to the world. So many are making up their own rules, to satisfy their needs. America, you have been warned and there is but little time to get down on your knees and pray.
Please, dear Cardinals, Bishops and Priests, take this message seriously. Join hands and do your part so more souls are saved. Wake up your flock and promote more prayer. Wake up your flock and let the world know that hell exists. Sin has become widespread and you must do your part to make the truth known. The Commandments must be followed or you will see destruction like never before.
Increased violence and bloodshed will rule the streets without more prayer, fasting and penance. Many youth are on the wrong path because so many parents are ignoring Heaven’s call. Cult groups are forming and many young children have joined hands with them. The world is becoming darker because so many are not living their vocation. Lack of prayer, lack of unity is why Satan has become so vicious.
I am here to wake my children because I truly see behind closed doors. Prayer is truly needed, so please respond and pray more. Pray and plead for God’s mercy upon this darkened world.
My daughter, please let the world know that time is short for saving souls. Teach my children to prepare spiritually for the coming trials, persecution and storms. Relay my messages so my children repent and reform their ways. I am here to assist my children, but they in turn must pray. I am here, so please respond and make the Gospel known. Please respond and know that I am truly here for you. Amen.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
1968 The Law of the Gospel fulfills the commandments of the Law. The Lord's Sermon on the Mount, far from abolishing or devaluing the moral prescriptions of the Old Law, releases their hidden potential and has new demands arise from them: it reveals their entire divine and human truth. It does not add new external precepts, but proceeds to reform the heart, the root of human acts, where man chooses between the pure and the impure, where faith, hope, and charity are formed and with them the other virtues. The Gospel thus brings the Law to its fullness through imitation of the perfection of the heavenly Father, through forgiveness of enemies and prayer for persecutors, in emulation of the divine generosity.
1707 “Man, enticed by the Evil One, abused his freedom at the very beginning of history." He succumbed to temptation and did what was evil. He still desires the good, but his nature bears the wound of original sin. He is now inclined to evil and subject to error:
Man is divided in himself. As a result, the whole life of men, both individual and social, shows itself to be a struggle, and a dramatic one, between good and evil, between light and darkness.
Reading (Isaiah 1:4,10, 16-20) - A Rebellious Nation
Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on
Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong,
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
Excerpts of Homily by Fr. Robert Altier Second Week of LentTuesday March 9, 2004
In the first reading today as the prophet Isaiah begins by saying, Hear the word of the Lord, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of your God, people of Gomorrah! we have to be very clear, first of all, that Sodom and Gomorrah by this point had been destroyed for hundreds and hundreds of years. It is not like there were two places on the face of the earth anymore called “Sodom” and “Gomorrah”; but rather as examples of the worst kind of sin, this was the title that was used to demonstrate to Israel the gravity of her sins.
Well, if we look at our situation today as we have rampant problems in America with the grossest forms of impurity – we now have judges declaring that it is okay for people of the same sex to be getting married; we have all kinds of difficulties going on in America as we try to justify every kind of unfortunate action – we are the ones who would have to say, “Sodom and Gomorrah live right here in America.” And how many people, getting caught up in the lie, are running around saying, “Well, I can’t be the one to judge; I don’t want to discriminate.”
It is a bunch of nonsense. We have to be able to look at what the truth is and we have to be very clear about it. But what happens is we wind up giving in. Not that we support, necessarily, what is being done; but we do not oppose it either. These are the ones about which Our Lord says, Be either hot or cold, or I will spew you out of My mouth, because we refuse to stand up for the truth. The Lord desires that we would be upright, and that is exactly what He is expecting of us. But instead, if we want to waffle and if we want to play a little game, we are going to be held responsible on the Day of Judgment for not doing what is right, for not standing up for God.
But if we humble ourselves, that is, present the truth, then we are going to be exalted. So we need to pray. We need to ask God to show us our sinfulness, to show us our hypocrisy, to show us the places where we are seeking ourselves and our own will rather than His. We need to ask, “Show me where my scarlet sins, my crimson red actions are standing between You and me,” so that we can get them confessed, we can change our lives, and we can make all of that white as snow;
