Pope Benedict Details How Greatest Teachers of Faith Persevered Through Greatest Tribulations...

These Last Days News - April 6, 2011

"The battle, My child, will accelerate very shortly for there will not only be a great war of weapons of mankind, but it will be known soon throughout the world as a religious war." - Our Lady of the Roses August 21, 1974

Christian News Wire reported on March 28, 2011:

The greatest teachers of the Catholic Faith lived in times just like our own, which Pope Benedict XVI demonstrates in his new book, Great Teachers. They provided people – including misdirected clergy and religious – much-needed direction in times fraught with scandal and strife, and guided the Church through pervasive confusion and discouragement to renewal and strength.

Among some 12 saints, abbots, and theologians profiled for their stalwart faith and appreciation for Gospel truth, Great Teachers focuses on two 13th-century saints – St. Francis of Assisi (founder of the Franciscans) and St. Dominic Guzman (founder of the Dominicans). Both were convicted by personal holiness to make the case for a return to Gospel poverty, deeper Church unity, and renewed evangelization – especially throughout the European university system.

It is a strangely similar scenario to the one the Church finds herself in today.

A commonality among the great teachers in Benedict's book is their agreement on Truth, which the faithful tend to drift from in times of plenty, trendy relativism, and "distraction."

Even the great St. Francis of Assisi was tempted to enjoy his carefree worldly lifestyle. But after an illness, he experienced a spiritual conversion which eventually led him to abandon that way of life. Christ Himself – in three mystical experiences to Francis as he was praying before a crucifix – told him, "Go, Francis, and repair My Church in ruins." The pope goes on to clarify in the book, "At that time, the Church had a superficial faith which did not shape or transform life, a scarcely zealous clergy, and a chilling of love ... Yet there at the center of the Church in ruins was the crucified Lord, and he spoke: he called for renewal."

Renewal hinges on Truth, however, and people's disposition to see and live by it.

"All who continue in the battle ahead must accept martyrdom. it does not, My child, necessarily mean death of your body, but it will mean persecution. Stand fast in the faith. Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1974

The awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

WASHED CLEAN
"The saints and those who were washed clean by the blood of martyrdom, they join all in Heaven crying for vengeance against deceitful mankind and the abominations that offend the Eternal Father--abominations in the House of God!" - St. Michael, September 13, 1974

IN THE FEW
"Many martyrs, My child, shall come in the days ahead, and defenders of the Faith. Carry your crosses, My children, for those who will be saved shall be in the few." - Jesus, November 20, 1975

IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978

MANY GREAT SAINTS SHALL RISE
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
     "Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!
     "Amen, amen, I say to you: unless mankind returns God the Eternal Father to his life, he will not have the years of two hands to count upon!
     "The present generation, My child, shall pass through this crucible of suffering. Many great saints shall rise from this persecution.” – Jesus, June 5, 1975

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."

    Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
