As I was praying the Rosary last night, I found myself deep in the Agony in the Garden with our Lord. If anyone has ever been in a car wreck, remember the split second before the crash how the normal reaction is to stiffen up and brace for the impact. Then imagine seeing the crash, years before it happens and not being able to change the events because it was God’s will for it all to come to pass, for the salvation of the souls involved. Then think of knowing about every car wreck years before and not being able to change a thing but only the souls heart in regards to the outcome. Souls of your children, family, friends and enemies. Now imagine the only way to save these souls from eternal harm, is your death at the proper time, when the Father calls you home. For me, it puts into perspective the amount of agony our Lord carried with him through out His life, to save us. Not what sin did to Him, by crucifying His body, which caused even more agony but the souls who were given the ability to see through His eyes, and continue to do so today, still not believing. Not to mention, He had to become sin, in order for God the Father, to turn His eyes away and allow our Lord to die on the cross! Our Lords ENTIRE life with us, and before coming to be man, revolved solely around God the Father. He is God the Father! Putting to the test His own creed! Not just His creed but all He IS! Much in the same way God killed his own creation (Animals) to make leather garments for Adam & Eve after they fell from grace, the pain I imagine can only be described as excruciating both mentally and physically.
Every droplet of blood that fell, every molecule contained in the droplets from our Beloved Savior, fell like acid dissolving the sin of men, disfiguring sin, making it known for what it is for all eternity.
As I pondered this while praying last night, I couldn’t move past the embrace by and strengthening of our Lord by the Angel sent from The Father. I could see the angel embracing our Lord and placing a kiss on His cheek. So lightly and loving the embrace. Mercy from above, then to return in a smaller amount from St. Veronica’s veil later on, to finish God’s divine plan of salvation. I could feel Our Lord trembling from the cold, warmed by the embrace sent from Abba. Easing the pain in advance of the carnage that would become His body. Abba Father, sending this loving embrace to His Son, before the kiss of death could be planted by Judas. Abba Father physically saying to the Son, I love you and I will see you soon.
O Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer, Son of the living God, behold, we kneel before Thee and offer Thee our reparation; we would make amends for all the blasphemies uttered against Thy holy name, for all the injuries done to Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, for all the irreverence shown toward Thine immaculate Virgin Mother, for all the calumnies and slanders spoken against Thy spouse, the holy Catholic and Roman Church. O Jesus, who hast said: “If you ask the Father anything in My name, He will give it to you”, we pray and beseech Thee for all our brethren who are in danger of sin; shield them from every temptation to fall away from the true faith; save those who are even now standing on the brink of the abyss; to all of them give light and knowledge of the truth, courage and strength for the conflict with evil, perseverance in faith and active charity! For this do we pray, most merciful Jesus, in Thy name, unto God the Father, with whom Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen

Now we can know the true God. The woman of Revelation 12 is now here. God is precise: It is a woman Rev 12 that delivers the true word John1:1, Rev 12:5, Rev 12:13 who restores Acts 3:21 all things to the world before Christ’s return. This woman exposes the lies of Satan who has deceived the whole world Rev 12:9. This woman creates a new thing in the earth by fulfilling God’s promise to Eve Gen 3:15, Jer 31:22, Isa 14:16. Moses and Elijah are together with the word Matt 17:3 they all three are in this one woman. She is like unto Moses Num 12:3. She was raised up Acts 3:22 from the Laodicean church that becomes lukewarm because they refused to hear her Rev 3:14-17. She is bold like Elijah Matt 17:11, Luke 1:17. As Elijah was alone declaring the true God to the people 1 Kings 18:22 so also her witness alone turns the hearts of the fathers to the children Mal 4:5-6 to prepare a people for the Lords return before the great and dreadful day of the Lord Matt 17:3, Luke 9:30. Those who will not hear Acts 3:23 the true word of God she now deliveres to the world free of charge, as a witness, at the heel of time from the wilderness Rev 12:6 will not be allowed inside the walls of God’s coming kingdom from heaven Rev 21. This true testimony of the true value of the blood of the Lamb delivers the truth that not one child of God will be put in a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5. God created evil Isa 45:7 to teach his children the knowledge of good and evil Rom 8:7, Gen 3:22 so that at their resurrection they become a god Matt 22:29-30, Ps 82:6. Prove all things. You cannot rightly judge this unless you read all that has been written by this woman first Pro 18:13. http://minigoodtale.blogspot.com Check out the bruising of Satan and the reason for all of mankind’s sufferings.

Matthew 17:12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
The woman of Revelation 12 is my Holy Mother Mary. The mother of my King. She gave birth to our Lord and He was snatched up by God at the second of CONCEPTION. From that second of conception by the Holy Spirit, Mary the Mother of My Lord crushed the head of the evil one. Simply on account of her saying yes to God.
I LOVE your comment Val. Peace!
