"If a Man is ashamed of me and "MY
DOCTRINE", the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in
HIS GLORY and that of his Father and his Holy Angels I assure you,
there are some standing here who will not taste death until they
see the reign of God!"
Luke 9:26 & 27
When I saw all the people
gathering, talking, promoting and buying the DaVinici Code book and then the major
motion picture, I thought it was almost as if I was in a dejavu
like when 9/11 happen. Just like 9/11, I thought how easy we
forget. On 9/11 we were brought to our knees but we did not stay
there very long! With the DaVinci
Code being a Best Seller and now a major motion picture, it
was as if we had forgotten all about the movie, The Passion that spoke the Truth about
our Savior and his Salvation he won for us through His suffering
and death. There were those that were saying they just wanted to
see the DaVinci Code or
read the book for entertainment. Excuse me, but if there was
a movie made about your mother or your child full of insults and
lies, would you actually pay money to entertain yourself with such
a movie about those dearest to you, none the less Your Very Own
Savior?! Fr. John Corapi, S.O.L.T. once said, "Do not peer
into the Darkness too long, least you become enveloped by
it!" The majority of the movie goers are the young
adults. If WE are not teaching our children the true history
about our faith and stand firm for it, then WHO will teach them,
Sony Pictures!
During the DaVinci hype St. John's
Bosco's famous dream,"The
Two Columns in the Sea"
kept coming
to me because the
Dream talks about A GREAT BATTLE that will go against the Church
and it will be fought with ammunition consisting of not only guns
but BOOKS! Think about all the blasphemous movies and books that
are slandering Our Lord and His Holy Church, and ask yourselves, do
we want to be apart of that?!
This was a protest that was
started and promoted by TFP "The American Society for the Defense of
Tradition, Family and Property"

THE TWO COLUMNS IN THE SEA,
SAINT JOHN BOSCO
"On
a vast sheet of water I see an innumerable fleet of ships in
battle array... These ships are armed with cannons, with lots of
rifles, with incendiary materials, with other arms of all kinds and
also with BOOKS, and they
advance against a ship very much bigger and higher than themselves
and try to dash against it with the prows or to burn it or in some
way to do it every possible
harm.
The Ship of the Church As escorts to that majestic fully
equipped ship, there are many smaller ships, which receive commands
by signal from it and carry out movements to defend themselves from
the opposing fleet. The Two Columns In
the midst of the immense expanse of sea, two mighty columns of
great height arise a little distance the one from the other.
On the top of one, there is the statue of the Immaculate Virgin,
from whose feet hangs a large placard with this inscription:
Auxilium
Christianorum-"Help of Christians"; on the other, which is
much higher and bigger, stands
a Host of great size proportionate to the column and beneath is
another placard with the words: Salus Credentium-"Salvation of the
Faithful". The Holy Father The supreme commander on the big ship is the
Sovereign Pontiff. He, on seeing the fury of the enemies and
the evils among which his faithful find themselves, determines to
summon around himself the captains of the smaller ships to hold a
council and decide on what is to be done. THE CONCLAVE All the captains come aboard and gather
around the Pope. They hold a meeting, but meanwhile the wind
and the waves gather in storm, so they are sent back to control
their own ships.... The pope stands at the helm and all his
energies are directed to steering the ship
towards THOSE TWO
COLUMNS from
the top of which and from every side of which are hanging numerous
anchors and big hooks, fastened
to chains. THE BATTLE
All the enemy ships move to attack it, and they try in every way to
stop it and sink
it: some with writings or
BOOKS or
inflammable materials, of which they are full; others with guns,
with rifles and with rams. The battle rages ever more
relentlessly. The enemy prows thrust violently, but their
efforts and impact prove useless. They make attempts in vain
and waste all their labor and ammunition; the big ship goes safely
and smoothly on its way. Sometimes it happens that, struck by
formidable blows, it gets large, deep gaps in its sides; but no
sooner is the harm done than a gentle breeze blows from the TWO
COLUMNS and the cracks close up and the gaps are stopped
immediately."
So what this
dream says to me is that the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit through the Magisterium of the Church: the Holy Father, Bishops, etc. It also shows the the two pillars, "The Holy Eucharist" and "The Blessed
Virgin Mary" also are very important and have power and if we have a devotion to those two, we
will also be guided and protected in our faith! In reflection, we should then pray
daily, the Rosary and go to Mass as often as possible, and pray for
the Church, the Clergy and especially the Pope for his intentions
and protection.
