    Saint Francis, hoeing his garden, was asked what he would do if he knew the world would end tomorrow. 'Continue hoeing my garden,' said the saint.

      I agree with the Saint. Way back when Obama was elected, and ever since, I've felt like the world is hanging by a thread and one day God will cut that thread. But rather than fret, I just keep on living my life trying to humbly grow in holiness by offering daily tasks and pains to God, praying several rosaries daily, reading good spiritual books which are nurturing rather than frightening and attending Latin Mass. I do have blessed beeswax candles because that is a Catholic thing to do. And living in FL we always have a week or more of food. But after all, God is in control of everything. Do with me what Thou wilt, Lord.

    I lived on the east coast of Canada for 5 years. A week's stockpile of food, water, candles & "storm chips" is just common sense. Nothing's changed for me, except that now I get my candles blessed, a tradition that goes back long, long ago. I will echo some comments: you are calling the blessed candle, a sacramental - superstitious. I have not heard any reports that the candle will do anything more than provide light. And there is nothing saying people with Blessed candles won't suffer. No need to go over the top, but what's the harm in being prepared - spiritually & physically.

      Yes, and that goes both ways. The people who don't believe in the 3 days of darkness have a bigger obsession (with the people who believe it) than the believers themselves have in the proposed events. In truth, no one knows for sure whether or not it's true, so the best option might be to avoid the topic altogether. In Kennedy's case, he's a fool for even bringing it up. It's like having a discussion on whether or not aliens really exist. If you don't know and you can't know, what's the point?

    There are plenty of other, more tangible, and realistic reasons to have a contingency plan in case of emergency. For example, the Texas deep freeze that left people without power and water for days is a reason to “prep” for grid failures. Yet, if people are worried about an alleged prophecy, the best thing to do is to PRAY and do PENANCE for the conversion of sinners. That can turn God’s wrath away from us.

      Also good to have some in case of supply change break up . Just like the story of a flood and a man was on the roof of his house . People came in boat and wanted him to come in the boat , but he refused and said God promised to help him . This went on for 2 more times . Then he perished in the flood and when he met Peter at the gate , he ask him . Why did God let him die when he promise he would help him . Peter said he sent you 3 boat with helpers and you refused the help . So it,s not wrong to have a couple of months of provisions in case a situation has poped up .

    I have no idea if this is true or not. However I have Always lived my life with this motto, “It’s better to have and not need than to need and not have.” So I have my blessed candles that are not a “good luck charm” so I can live through this time. They are candles that will get me out of the dark during the possible 3 days of darkness just like I use candles when the power goes out.
    Kennedy you do seem to forget about the blood of the lamb painted over the doorposts of the Israelis in the OT. You said there has never been anything like the windows covered or the blessed candles in history. The Angel of death passed over those houses. Have you forgotten?

      That represents the blood of the spotless Lamb of God, which is satisfied with the reception of Holy Communion in a post Moses new Christian World which is the one we're living in so on that sense I'm with him. We're no longer bound by the law of Moses. We are bound by the New Covenant. The Blood of the Lamb on the "door posts" of our souls is really all we need, not beeswax candles or what not.

Some of these responses sound a bit judgy. I hope my children get in the right place with God before they die. There are so many looming catastrophes right now, I am trying to be as reasonably prepared as I can. But I won't be a worry wart, I keep my eye on the prize and that is Jesus.

    I am SOO glad you're doing a podcast on this subject Kennedy! So much Catholic common sense! We are already being persecuted but it can and will escalate. That said, I am pretty sure with the state that the Church of Christ is in at the moment, NO private revelations will be either approved or disapproved due to the possible negative content and/or 'warnings' to our men of the cloth. Very few of our Bishops are going to look at a private revelation that chastises them. Too many of them are compromised and too full of pride and arrogance. We the laity are to KNOW our faith, and LIVE our faith to the best of our ability, with scripture, sacraments, daily rosary, and begging for the grace to live God's will. God will judge us all on the state of our HEART, striving to live out our salvation 'with fear and trembling' as St. Paul says.

    Thank you, Kennedy! Finally a traditional catholic blogger speaking out against this superstition. Back in 1991, at the time of Kuwait War, I've seen people hamstering, also in the belief the "the great purification" or "the 3 days if darkness" were at hand. All people (especially men) with normal common sense were shocked by the brainlessness of this set of mind. Linking such behaviour to the true Faith endangers it greatly. I've seen at least one young man abandoning the Faith for having seen a few times too many of this kind of anti common sense and anti charity madness. A behaviour I also saw in sedevacantist circles. Like: "We're safely on board of Noah's Arc and the rest of you stupid and evil people will perish. Duely so!" This is not the logic of the gospel.

    @user-yz4tx7ig9e 2 місяці тому +48

    Your overall thesis is good - don't live your life by private revelation. Don't let it interfere with your faith or your day-to-day function within prudence.
    But your treatment of this admittedly insane private revelation is glib and partial at best. I get that it's difficult to sum up about 200 years of seers and messages that are at times at odds with one another on the details, but quite frankly I'm surprised at your lack of understanding (although I got a good chuckle out of your Catholic prophecy fan-fic line). I will speak to Jahenny's version as that's the one I'm most familiar with and because that seems to be the version you're directly addressing for the most part.
    Jahenny clearly states in her writings that a spiritual chastisement would precede anything physical, and that it would take the form of bad priests, "the plague of degradation" which seems to be sexual in nature, and an attack on the Mass. After that there would be a series of physical chastisements culminating in the three days of darkness. There would be a lot of warning before anything happened. Her prophecies are part of the larger Great Catholic Monarch/Angelic Pope messages. Some writers have linked the age to follow the three days of darkness to the Reign of the Immaculate Heart. Whether or not you want to accept that is up to the individual.
    There are two big problems with Jahenny's writing. The first you address well - spiritual writing can be very confusing and are often opaque. It would take a lot of careful study to try to figure out exactly what she is attempting to communicate, especially when she speaks to physical steps one can take to prepare for the chastisement in general. But your account of those steps is frankly incorrect and reflect an ignorance of what the messages say even on the surface. The messages, again, provide alleged insight as to what to look for before the Three Days of Darkness. Your attack on the "superstitious" use of sacramentals honestly sounds Protestant. I'm sorry to say that, but that's how it comes across. To say that a sacramental used in faith could never effect a miracle is profoundly ignorant. We might as well commit our statues, icons, and rosaries to the flame if your assertation is true and taken to its logical conclusion, as they are merely distractions from Scripture.
    The other problem is the quality of information available. With Jahenny alone there are several versions of her messages that contradict one another on various points. Let's look at the instructions for the candles first. Some websites say the candles must be 100% beeswax. Others have stated that Jahenny says that no where in her writings. They all agree the candles must be blessed (and thus sacramentals); however, one party holds that the candles must be blessed on Candlemas. while the vast majority of commentators disagree. That compounds the problem of adherence to Jahenny's message considerably. I'm somewhat surprised you didn't come across this in your prior research, since you have spoken about the three days of darkness previously.
    The core of Jahenny's messages concerns maintaining a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as well as promoting reparation for sins and the embracing of suffering. Her spiritual thought is very Passion oriented, possibly because of the physical hardships she endured during her life.
    Now that I've essentially dumped on your video, I do want to say that I think your overall message is extremely important and needs to get out there. There's a lot of miracle chasing going on in the tradosphere. And while some of it is legitimate, much of it probably is not. Our Lord did warn us that as things began to wrap up down here, there would be a lot of people claiming to either speak for Him or be Him but that they were not. We cannot attribute all of these false claims to deceit on the part of the seer - I believe some have been legitimately misled by the evil spirit or even the workings of their own imagination. Nevertheless, the universal theme of preparedness for the End is perennially apropos. Whether one lives to see the General Resurrection or goes to their judgement sooner, the end will come for all of us at one point. We need to be prepared.

      In fact, there's Biblical evidence that the Apostles at the beginning immediately after the ascension of Our Lord thought that He was coming back in a few years. They took Jesus "generation" preaching literally. But as generations passed and nothing happened, they began to realize that Jesus didn't mean that literally the way they thought. Now and after hundreds of generations we know that Our Lord was using a figure of Speech. The important thing is that He is coming back. Specifically how many generations into the future only God knows.

    Fifty or more years ago I was a child of the post-VII era. My parents tried to attend the new, improved rite, but we didn't last long. In the next couple of years, while searching for the next step, we became aware of some of the most bizarre, futuristic imaginings from some Catholic friends (who were also trying to make their way amid the rubble). Today, a couple of these prophecies have staying power: the 3 days of darkness thing, and a component of it by Julie Jehenny, which is the blessed grapes. I know people today who had never seen the inside of a liquor store, bringing bottles of expensive brandy to church for a blessing. Then they had to buy a certain type of grape to soak in it. They believe that they will be able to exist on one soaked grape per day when the 3 days arrive.
    Frankly, I am so surprised by the credulity of these people, but many of them are new to tradition and these interesting 'prophecies' are very novel to them. I am also sorry for them because they refuse to use any logic. These strange prophecies, and others I can't quite remember, haunted my youth and it nearly destroyed my vision of any happy future. I think that even if I believed these things, I would not share them with my children because of the damage it can do to their souls.

      In Revelation 9 it sounds like "demons chasing human" but Gods children have the seal of God on their foreheads (9:4). Nothing about blessed candles and water, rosary and pictures of Mary, covered windows. Only (and the best) seal of God on the forehead.

    Honestly, general disaster preparedness and the current state of the world makes having at least a month's supply of food and water for your family prudent and completely reasonable.
    Keeping blessed candles and rosaries is pretty basic.
    And staying in a state of grace is necessary.
    So, I see no problem in being generally prepared for a potential 3 days of darkness - whatever form it may or may not take - so long as one is not living their life in paranoid fear and disturbing their spiritual peace. Ultimately, we need to all be focusing on how we will try to die a good holy death - whenever God decides our time on earth is up, not putting all our energy into trying to survive a potential future disaster.

      Yes. The candle would be there to provide light. Jahenny also mentions to importance of having a crucifix and images of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts on hand. Most of what she prescribes are sacramentals any devout Catholic would have on hand anyway, the exception being the Purple Scapular. That might have been what Hall was thinking about as that is said to provide protection from the physical effects of the three days of darkness if displayed with prominence in a home and a certain devotion to the Cross and Passion maintained.

I was constantly worried that I would be separated from my family because I work 3rd shift. It also put a major strain on me. I am not in such a great place financially, my mother is 72, has one kidney, that kidney is infested with cancer AND she also has TKD (terminal kidney disease), both the cancer and TKD are at the stage 5 level. Her state of life, along with my own mental wellbeing, we were just stressing out over what would happen. Following the 3d of d was just too much. I pray all the time and beg Christ not to let go of my hand. For my strength is week, but His strength is perfect. I trust in God, no matter what befalls me, God will take care of what is His!!!

    Kennedy I find you to be one of the more mentally grounded voices of reason these days who truly seems to be living a catholic life in these wicked and confusing times. These last years I've become more disgusted with Catholic Inc ( as you rightly coined it ) and feeling alienated more and more with being persecuted by even fellow trads.
    As a Ukrainian ( by blood ) and raised pre V2 trad Catholic I also want to say THANK YOU for choosing to not partake in the soviet propaganda and brainwashing in support of evil, hypocrisy, and anti catholic ( and christian ) behavior that seems to have poisoned many so called "trad" voices these days, which is as much spiritual poison as our 30 pieces of silver guy's anti trad get together.
    It's almost always the eccentric cat lady's and skizoids doing readings at NO gatherings that 9/10 times seem to jump on these doomsday cults and ridiculous and questionable apparations and prophecies like medjagoogoo or babbling in tongues. By the way it was debunked years ago that St Padre Pio ever supported this 3 days thing, it was in news papers and his Order stated he never made these claims.
    I mostly tune into your show, Fatima Center, Fr Mawdsley, 1p5, Fr Charron and a few others of more sound mind. In fact if I recall recently Fr Mawdsley seemed to debunk this 3 days as well in some of his comments on the Divine Will cult videos.
    These days I pray by God's grace that the SSPX will be an option in the far east of Canada, as I find the local NO churches to be full of rabid modernists and little faith, which I find a danger to my own faith.
    God Bless you and keep up the good work, I will say a rosary for you and your family tonight.

    You kept saying it's not even close to Dogma. Prophecies are not supposed to be nor need too. It's not superstition either. Several of your points are not accurate. There are 2 happenings before the 3 days of darkness. The prophecies, of course, are not scripture. No one says they are, nor need to be.
    Several are approved by the church, some are not, but they are not disapproved. It's not a sin to believe them, this the church tells us. You are almost mocking prophecies. Messages from our Mother Mary and Jesus. You have a right to your opinion your delivery, however, is questionable and close to being pompous. You left so much out, that tells the whole story. No one who follows these prophecies believes a candle is going to save them. If you had done any study of these prophecies in their totality, you would not present them in the light you did.

    Kennedy, how is this any different than Akita and fire falling from the sky wiping out a great part of humanity. Restoration would have to happen after that also. Only a few would be left. Also you are misinformed on the 3 days. There will be a sign in the sky before it happens, which at that point maybe the church would declare something. It's not to be dismissed because it doesn't make sense to you.

    • @user-ym3ur9nc7o
      @user-ym3ur9nc7o Місяць тому

      Akita like Fatima is approved and Fatima was witnessed by many many people. We also know the messages are essentially the same, and most importantly the "IF man does not" part along with the message of hope.
      God is not going to allow evil or the devil to win, he may allow things to be known to others as in using it for example in the conversion of others which is what I believe to be one of the reasons we are seeing so much blatant evil exposed to the entire world these last few years without it even trying to hide it's face anymore.
      The chastisement can be mitigated, it cannot be prevented unless man does what Our Blessed Lady asks AND the correct way of consecrating Russia as to Heavens desire. We know WW2 was a chastisement ( nor were the N the good guys back then either ) for the gravity of mans sins offending God.
      We know wars are the result of mans sins.
      Heaven does NOT lie and we know "it will be late but Russia will be consecrated", in the end Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and a period of peace will be granted to the world BEFORE the true and final end times comes.
      Look around us, is the world turning back to God ? adhering to his unchanging eternal laws ? can man ever save himself ? NO.
      That is why we must focus on the Rosary, The Brown Scapular and Penance.

    However, I don't know the future, so I want to have the things prepared if the darkness comes. I am trying to live as Catholics have lived in the past ...ie trying to live in a state of grace because the only end that matters is the one when I die and have to be personally judged. That's really terrifying once one develops a better sense of how sinful one actually is.

And I'm not worrying about "what happens if I'm at the grocery store when the three days of darkness hits?" (MJJ did describe signs leading up to the 3 days, btw.) I have no more superstitious trust in a candle as i do with my brown scapular. (Btw the sabbatine privilege attached to the brown scapular, what level of doctrine is that promise? Is that just a way for Catholics to avoid suffering?)

    I've been arguing for a spiritual interpretation of these prophecies. The truly terrible punishment is not the death of the body, but the death of the soul and loss of heaven. If we look out the "windows" of the church into the world, or if we abandon the "blessed candles" of the traditional mass, then we put our souls at risk. The three days might be three decades for all I know or just symbolic of completion.
    If it is physical, then I think I'd rather have the good Lord take us home, because the aftermath would be impossible for us to survive. There's no way our family is farming or hunting enough to feed ourselves without outside help with as many little ones as we have. 😅

    Hello, Mr Kennedy. I always love your take on things. Regarding the 3 days of darkness. From what I've read there is a warning before the 3 days and before the warning certain events are to occur:A. 1. The pope visits Moscow, and shortly after wars crop up in different places, 2. The lead sear, (who is about 74 years old, now) is suppose to give a warning of the 3 days. 3. Everybody dies, Catholic or not who are outside or look outside. B. After the 3 days there are a couple predicted miracles, one, is everybody receives "illumination of Conscience", where God shows the state of the soul if they are destined for heaven, Purgatory or hell, should they die in that state. C. Another miracle will take place in a location where the prophecy took place, a visual sign.
    That said, I'm not too much into it.. I've got my own doubts..

    It will come maybe not this year or next - for sure just be ready spiritually and that’s all you can do. If you survive then good if you don’t then pray what you’ve done is enough to save you. Trust in the Divine Mercy.

    Thank you! So easy to get caught in the web. If the evil one can’t get you to leave the faith he’ll use the faith against you.🙏🏻
