For years I have been warning that the world as we know it is going to change. I have quoted extensively from Catholic prophecy to this end. Mark Mallett has written an interesting post entitled "The World is Going to Change" which may be found at his Blog. He warns, as I have repeatedly, that many even in the Church cannot read the signs of the times because they have been desensitized. He writes:
"The spirit of the world, which is rightly called the spirit of antichrist, is so thick and pervasive, that many even in the Church do not see it. We have collectively been numbed not only to the reality of what is unfolding around us, but we "devout Christians" do not realize how far we have fallen. Jesus’ words come to mind:
I hold this against you: you have lost the love you had at first. Realize how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (Rev 2:4-5)
What is the love we had at first? It was a burning zeal for souls. This thirst for souls is what led our Savior to the Cross, it is what drove St. Paul across land and sea, St. Ignatius to the lions, St. Francis to the poor, St. Faustina to her knees. The heartbeat of the Christian should be the heartbeat of the Savior: a desire to save souls from the fires of hell. When we have lost this desire, we have lost our heartbeat, and Christians, the Church, will seem as nearly dead.
It is in this climate, in fact, that an angel from God now warns you and I: the Church has been handed over for her purification, and the instrument of this purification will be a world order that controls. How? Through a spirit of fear. For the opposite of love is fear. Love is free, it gives, it believes, it trusts. Fear chains the mind, it clutches freedom, it doubts, it refuses absolutes, and trusts no one. Thus, the environment, the economy, plague and war will become the catalysts of this purification, that is, the seals of Revelation. They are becoming the means by which mankind will be controlled, whether the crises are real or man-made."
This chastisement which is coming upon the world has been fashioned by human hands. It is Our Lady who has said so repeatedly.

There is spiritual blindness. So many are wrapped up in the cares of the world that they have become blind to spiritual realities. Others simply don't care.
Amen, so be it. I pray many will be granted the gift of perserverance, myself included.
I agree whole heartedly
We will all need to pray for the gift of perseverance Sanctus. Calvary is fast approaching.
