Dark Horizon for Peace, Pope Says in World Address

“For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.”- 1 Thessalonians 5:3

VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul said on Thursday that the horizon for peace in the world was dark and that humanity found itself gripped by fear of an uncertain future.

But, speaking to diplomats in his annual ``state of the world'' address, he said the world needed a process of healing so that violence would not be heaped upon violence.

In his wide-ranging address, he also said fighting terrorism was legitimate and that killing in God's name was blasphemy. He told Israelis and Palestinians that the ``law of retaliation'' would get them nowhere.

``The horizon indeed appears dark,'' the Pope told diplomats from most of the 172 countries that have relations with the Vatican in his address in the frescoed Reggia Hall in the Apostolic Palace.

``Those who have lived through the great movement toward freedom and the changes of the 90s are surprised to find themselves gripped today by fear of a future which has once again become uncertain,'' he said.

``As this year begins, we are tragically aware that humanity finds itself in a situation of violence, suffering and sin.''

The September 11 attacks on the United States and their effect on world peace prospects dominated the Pope's address.

``The legitimate fight against terrorism, of which the abhorrent attacks of last September 11 are the most appalling expression, has once again let the sound of arms be heard,'' he said.

Barbarous aggression and killings, the Pope said, pointed to the need for self-defense and the most effective means of eradicating terrorism.

But the world community had to ``search for the factors underlying such (terrorism) acts.'' He also spoke of the need to ''bring about a process of healing in order to overcome fear and to avoid evil being added to evil, violence to violence.''

AFGHANISTAN NEEDS HELP

He urged nations to help the newly installed government in Afghanistan to achieve a lasting peace.

The Pope again firmly rejected the concept of killing in God's name. Islamic militants such as Osama bin Laden -- who Washington blames for the September 11 attacks -- have used religion to justify terrorism.

``Killing in the name of God is an act of blasphemy and a perversion of religion... Terrorist violence is a contradiction of faith in God,'' he said.

But he said the fight against terrorism should not distract from other pressing problems.

The Pope said he was worried about the growing tensions between Pakistan and India, the financial and political crises in Argentina, and the armed struggles and health emergencies decimating Africa's people.

Turning to the Middle East, the Pope said Israelis and Palestinians must get back on the track to peace or face being mired in hatred forever.

He said man was to blame for making the Holy Land ``a land of fire and blood.''

``No one can remain indifferent to the injustice of which the Palestinian people have been victims for more than 50 years. No one can contest the right of the Israeli people to live in security,'' he said.

``Weapons and bloody attacks will never be the right means for making a political statement to the other side. Nor is the logic of the law of retaliation capable any longer of leading to paths of peace,'' he said.

``One against the other, neither Israelis nor Palestinians can win the war. But together they can win the peace.''

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...

NOT TO FRIGHTEN YOU
"My child and My children, you cry for peace. I come to you as a Mother of peace. My messages to you are not to frighten you, but they are to reveal to you what will happen if you do not act now upon My counsel, My Mother's counsel to you. I expect you to think of this, and consider what is more important to you: to have a life filled with glory, and money, and materialistic things? Do you think, My children, that you will take them with you? You will come from your world, the earth, with nothing, just as you arrived in it." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985

MOTHER OF PEACE
"My child and My children, there is not much more that I can say to you. My words have gone throughout the world, and how many have acted upon them? I come to you as a Mother of peace, a Mother of love. My tears have been shed upon you all. I will not give up the incentive to want to save every child upon earth. I shall wander to and fro wherever My voice can be heard, and bring to the world the final message before the end of the age." - Our Lady, October 6, 1988

YOU DISARM FOOLISHLY
"There are cries of peace and brotherhood going throughout your world, My children; but there is no peace, there is no brotherhood, for the plotters are at work. They constantly arm themselves; and you, being deceived, My children of America, you disarm foolishly!" - Our Lady, December 6, 1975

FOLLOW THE RULES
"You have in your midst a group united to promote peace and security. You cry 'peace and security' and there is no peace or security; for there shall not be peace or security unless you follow the rules given by your God. Man shall not replace them by a man-made set of rules based on humanism and modernism. The way to Heaven is a simple way, and in your sophistication you reject it." - Jesus, May 3, 1978

UTOPIA?
"My children, the world, your world cries peace, peace, when there is no peace, for they are looking for peace without their God. In their arrogance, as satan whispers to them, they believe that they have risen far above their God and can establish a utopia upon earth. They run about like chickens without heads, crying peace, peace, and love and brotherhood. Better that they get down upon their knees and ask their God for enlightenment." - Our Lady, November 1, 1976

How can we protect our homes, families and loved ones in the uncertain days ahead?
We will be spared of earthquakes if we keep crucifixes on all our outside doors.
    Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84)

Heaven’s Home Protection Packet...
Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the "Heaven’s Home Protection Packet" there are instructions, four crucifixes, and a tube of special cement for wooden or metal crucifixes. Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling.

Crucifix to guard entrances to home…
Jesus - "I must reveal, My children, to the world again, that you are to keep a crucifix on your front door and your back door. All entrances to your home must be guarded by the crucifix. There has not been one home on Long Island that had a crucifix on its door that did fall to any evil. I do not speak of the trees, My child; I speak of mankind. You did not know a major disaster as has happened, My children, in Mexico. You see, My child, I set you down in that area to bring the word to mankind, and it was through these words that many listened and the passed through the horrible experience of a hurricane." (10-5-85)

Keep the sacramentals that have been given to you through the ages of your world's time...
Jesus
- "I bless you, My children, and I diffuse among you the graces for conversion and cure. Keep the sacramentals that have been given to you through the ages of your world's time. They have been given for reason. Do not cast them aside, for when you do thus you will cast aside your protection against satan and his agents who are loose now in full battle upon earth." (2-10-73)

Keep your sacramentals about your necks...
Our Lady
- "Keep your sacramentals about your necks. I say about your necks, not for decoration, but because many shall flee with only what they have on their bodies!  It is now a supernatural protection, My children, that you have: your medals, your scapulars, and even your Rosary, your beads of prayer about your neck, your children's necks and all those who wish to be saved.
    "The monuments, the statues, must be kept in your homes.  As it was in the days of old, the angel of death shall pass by those who retain the monuments in their homes." (5-18-77)
