This episode is part 1 of an attention-grabbing conversation between Dr. Peter Howard and Prof. Daniel O'Connor. They discuss elements of Daniel's latest book, "Thy Will Be Done" that directly relate to the times in which we live and how we are entering very close to the "eye of the storm" as the seals of Revelation 6 are playing out real time before us today.

[@majorpuggington]

McCarrick was under JP II... and Judas was under Jesus. Pow, great point Doc.

[@christinawhite9256]

Jesus I trust in you 🙏

[@jackieo8693]

Since I have been praying to live in the divine will, I have a lot less dear.

[@Imganna]

I went to see Bishop Sheens tomb & museum. I left there wanting to know everything about him. I was so incredibly inspired by his love of GOD, it brings me to tears. He has my heart thats for sure. Im sad I didnt live at his time here on earth. I understand my catholic upbringing better though and the ways my parents raised me. My parents were inspired by Bishop Sheen. Maybe this is why I was baptized in a Byzantine Church. God Bless you

[@majorpuggington]

Its amazing there are antichrist powers in the Vatican that literally put a stop to his beatification in the 11th hour. End times stuff.

[@kayroserey1678]

Dr.. O'Connor, Jan 2020 began a dark desolation for me, The Reject Nun. Hallucinations/visions began. The symbol in place of my picture began to haunt me. I am not special, just a sick person doing the best I can. Abandoned by my Church. Pray for me, but my Hallucinations say I am part of this Army of God. So I am here if you need. You have my prayers.

[@nawaldepaul2331]

Is fear of dying a blasphemy? I’m always fearful of getting sick and dying. I love the Lord and I pray everyday but I am still fearful .

[@majorpuggington]

There is a healthy fear of death and judgment and an unhealthy obsession with it. A lot of people during the pandemic were exposed as having an unhealthy obsession with "safety." It borders on pathetic, the lack of trust and common sense shown by the fearful masses. Pray to trust God's specific will for your life. Look up the prayer to St Joseph for a happy and holy death.

[@kathyprewitt7386]

Oh dear soul, God is hearing you! The evil one is allowed to taunt us in our weaknesses. But prayer drives him away. Keep your eyes on Jesus and Mary and Joseph. Just keep praying! I pray you do have at least 1 other person to pray WITH YOU! I try to focus on others and find something humorous in life. It helps to break that cycle in your head. I will write your name down and pray for you! We are ALL sinners who MUST KEEP trying till the Lord comes. I wish Jesus' Joy for you! God bless! Kathy

[@elitav4238]

Ask Mother Mary for the grace of Contrition for sins, go to confession if possible once a month, go to mass often an receive Holy communion, read bible, the Gospels. This is the full Armor of God. Pray to St Joseph for a happy and holy death.. Say everyday Jesus, I Trust in you🙏

[@susantindell3567]

Not having fear in future makes sense. But when Daniel said everything God has allowed in our life is according to His plan does NOT take in account of the free will of others. How can you align that every single solitary abuse by others, especially abused children as God's will for one. He can later use the bad for His /our good. But that doesn't mean He deliberately willed a child to be abused.

[@joaneoe3952]

Is there an e copy?

[@thistledownz.2982]

He says " don't worry" but ...then says...

[@Rome_77]

What you guys are really getting at is the biblical meta-narrative known as optimistic eschatology or “historical optimism”… in Protestant circles it’s contrasted with the doom and gloom premillennial dispensationalist view. Protestants call the viewpoint Postmillennialism (historical optimism). I just don’t see the need to fixate on Luisa Piccarreta’s private revelations. Historical hopefulness should be shared by all Catholics because it’s the overarching theme in the Bible, it’s all over sacred tradition especially Augustine, the Franciscans, Fatima and Pius X, and it was re-emphasized by Vatican II with its missionary focus to Christianize the world.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN. THIS WAY OF PRAYER BRING THE KINGDOM INTO MANIFESTATION IN OUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS WHOM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STATES IS THE ONLY NAME WHICH CONTAINS THAT WHICH IT SIGNIFIES (CCC2666) IE. HE IS REALLY PRESENT. THIS FULFILLS THE INTENTIONS OF THE LORD'S PRAYER. AN ANCIENT WAY OF UNITING MIND, BODY, AND SOUL WITH JESUS BRINGING ABOUT WHAT EASTERN CHRISTIANITY CALLS DIVINIZATION MEDITATION THE THE NAME IESU (Jesus) This type of meditation should not be confused with various eastern methods of mediation which attempt to empty the mind. It is a prayer in which the whole mind, heart and intentions are focused on the Word of God, Jesus. Thoughts that distract from this focus are gently released and the attention is again returned to Christ. God is an infinitely great and all-perfect being. God is the Creator and Renewer of men, Sovereign Master over men, angels, demons and all created things, both visible and invisible. Such a notion of God teaches us that we ought to stand prayerfully before Him in deepest reverence and in great fear and dread, directing toward Him all our attention, concentrating in our attention all the powers of the reason, heart, and soul, and rejecting distractions and vain imaginings, whereby we diminish alertness and reverence, and violate the correct manner of standing before God, as required by His majesty (John 4:23-24; Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:29-30; Luke 10:27). Meditation on the Name of God has numerous references in Holy Scripture. Meditation on the Name “Jesus” has been practiced continuously in the Christian tradition since ancient times. Eastern Orthodox Christians call this practice the “Jesus Prayer” and use it as either a phrase or just focus on the name “Jesus”. The name and presence of Jesus has been empowered by God to transmit the Being of God to mankind. Jesus is the complete and only image we have of God. All that is God is embodied in Jesus. Jesus’ whole emphasis was to strive for internal change or metanoia. In the current times this tradition has been formalized in the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, scriptures, and Eastern Orthodox teaching among other Christian schools of thought. Fr. Thomas Hopko, Dean Emeritus, St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Seminary. “For ancient Christianity and for Eastern Orthodoxy through the ages, the very name “Jesus, Yesu, ” is the presence and the power of the Person of Christ himself. When you say that name, he is there. When you invoke that name, Jesus is present. His power is present. His might is present. His saving power is present. He is present! It’s a parousia. It’s a parousia before the presence of the Lord at the end of the ages, and at the end of the ages is when every knee in heaven and on earth will bow down before him to the glory of God the Father.” Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church CCC 2666 But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God received in his incarnation: JESUS. The divine name may not be spoken by human lips, but by assuming our humanity The Word of God hands it over to us and we can invoke it: “Jesus,” “YHWH saves”. The name “Jesus” contains all: God and man and the whole economy of creation and salvation. To pray “Jesus” is to invoke him and to call him within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies. Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him. CCC 2724 Contemplative prayer is the simple expression of the mystery of prayer. It is a gaze of faith fixed on Jesus, an attentiveness to the Word of God, a silent love. It achieves real union with the prayer of Christ to the extent that it makes us share in his mystery. The author of the cloud of unknowing states it as follows: It is what you are to do. Lift up your heart to the lord, with a gentle stirring of love desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts. Center all your attention and desire on him and let this be the sole concern of your mind and heart. Do all in your power to forget everything else, keeping your thoughts and desires free from involvement with any of God's creatures or their affairs whether in general or in particular. Meditating on the name “Jesus” clearly fulfills this instruction. Matt 6:6 where Jesus describes how to pray, furthers this understanding. The only way given to man to pray to the Father, is through Jesus who is the mediator between mankind and the Father. Jesus is the only image, Name Logos (Word) of the Father. “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Rom 10:13; for “whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Acts 2:21; ‘and it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Acts 3:16 “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all. John 14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. A monk of the Eastern Church writes the following in his book On the Invocation of the Name of Jesus: Even in the act of invocation of the Name, its literal repetition ought not to be continuous. The Name pronounced may be extended and prolonged in seconds or minutes of silent rest and attention. The repetition of the Name may be likened to the beating of wings by which a bird rises into the air. It must never be labored and forced, or hurried, or in the nature of a flapping. It must be gentle, easy and~ let us give this word its deepest meaning-graceful. When the bird has reached the desired height it glides in its flight, and only beats its wings from time to time in order to stay in the air. So the soul, having attained to the thought of Jesus and filled itself with the memory of him, may discontinue the repetition of the Name and rest in Our Lord. The repetition will only be resumed when other thoughts threaten to crowd out the thought of Jesus. Then the invocation will start again in order to gain fresh impetus. Following is a description of the method of meditating on the Name, Jesus. When meditating on the name, we are using the vocative case in Greek and Latin. This case is used in calling upon Jesus and has no corresponding case in English. (The nearest English translation would be “Come to me Jesus”) The vocative (addressing Jesus) case in Greek was Iesou, and in Latin Iesu, both of which are pronounced “Yay soo” (yesu). This is the way Jesus was invoked for thousands of years, the way his name was written on his cross and in the New Testament, and is still the way his name is pronounced in many countries of the world. There was no “J” sound until fairly recently. The aim of hesychasm is to establish a deeply personal relationship with Christ. It is a prayer, not a technique. I NSTRUCTION FOR JESUS PRAYER Practice contemplative prayer twice per day for 20-30 minutes or as long as you feel drawn by the Holy Spirit. The discipline of a regular prayer period is helpful however. 1. Mentally use the personal Name of God “Yesu” as a prayer word, a reminder of your intention to allow the real presence and action of God within. Do this effortlessly without resisting anything. 2. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Settle briefly, for about 30 seconds, and silently and mentally to yourself, call on the Name “Yesu” 3. Don’t control the mind. Just think of the Name “Yesu” easily, effortlessly. And if at any time you seem to be forgetting the name “Yesu”, don’t try to hold on. Let it go. Rest in the silence, if thoughts come, easily, effortlessly, come back to the Name “Yesu”. 4. At the end of the mediation period, stop thinking your prayer word and remain in silence with your eyes closed for 2-3 minutes. This is very important. Failure to rest and gradually come out of contemplation may result in headaches or other uneasiness.
