After many struggles to get the domain to work properly, I think that I finally have www.ProclaimTheKingdom.com reliably up and running. My goal with this website is to compile, in one un-cluttered and easy to use website, all of the most important materials related to the revelations on the Divine Will given to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, and to not include anything tangential. Please promote that website and feel free to consult it any time you are in need of anything related to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta!

Speaking of Kings, a certain blogger who opposes the Era of Peace (erroneously referring to it as Millenarianism) has just published a nearly 3,000 word tirade against Mark Mallett and myself for allegedly “ignoring” the prophecies of the Great Catholic Monarch (despite the fact that we explicitly acknowledged them in our last webcast, which this blogger himself links to). Remember that the various attacks against the Era — promoted by this blogger and a few others — are completely refuted in Part Three of the free eBook, The Crown of Sanctity and, more recently, in the video I mentioned in my last post on CountdownToTheKingdom, embedded again below. 

[On Amillennialism: While I address this point in the video and the book, I’d like to here briefly draw attention to the fact that the Kingdom on Earth — the Reign of the Divine Will — the Imminent Glorious Era of Universal Peace — need not have anything to do with Millennial beliefs at all, one way or the other. Augustine’s Amillennialism certainly has much truth and wisdom in it (happy feast of St. Augustine, by the way!). And although I do not think Amillenialism has the whole truth, nevertheless you can, if you really must, side 100% with Augustine and his Amillennialism — which he presented as a mere opinion that anyone is free to disagree with while still maintaining orthodoxy — and still 100% believe in this Glorious Era of Peace on account the unanimous consensus of private revelation, papal Magisterium, and above all, the Our Father prayer itself. The teachings of most of the other Fathers of the Church on the Millennial Era in accordance with Revelation 20 are certainly a nice reminder of the truth of the Era, but are by no means necessary to be 100% certain of the coming of the Era.]

As I said in the webcast, I do not focus on prophecies of the Great Catholic Monarch simply because my goal in writing on eschatological matters is not to arbitrarily speculate about what is coming, but rather to spiritually prepare my readers for what is coming and encourage them to participate in bringing about its arrival. It just so happens that there is little or nothing that you need to do to prepare for the Great Catholic Monarch or bring about his emergence. (There is much, on the other hand, that you must do to prepare for the Warning, Chastisements, and Era of Peace.) 

I do believe in the prophecies of the Great Catholic Monarch.

However, as a number of contradictions exist between these prophecies, I have not bothered to delve deeply into them in order to present a coherent picture; it simply hasn’t appeared to me to be worth the time. The Monarch may arise any day now, and help prepare the Church and the World for the reign of the Antichrist and cause a sort of a mini-Era of Peace to occur beforehand (though I prefer to refer to it as a “reprieve” or, as Mark Mallett puts it well, an “eye of the storm”), that is, before the Great Chastisements and Glorious Era of Peace. Though some seers have referred to this reprieve as being quite short — perhaps only several weeks long — that is by no means so lofty a prophecy as to be considered an inseparable element of the “prophetic consensus,” and I see no reason to outright dismiss the notion that it could be much longer. Another popular Catholic Eschatological Timeline now making the rounds is extremely similar to the one we have up at CountdownToTheKingdom, with the only major difference being that, instead of a “reprieve,” it refers to a “minor Era of Peace.” If that floats your boat, go with it — though I personally continue to prefer how we have it shown on CTTK.

Indeed, the world and the Church are now in desolation, and I see no reason to despair of hoping that a great Catholic Monarch would arise to help facilitate the explosion of the graces associated with the Warning throughout the world, an explosion that itself will look like an Era of Peace compared to what we see now. But it will most likely not be The Glorious Era of Peace — the universally promised Reign of the Divine Will on Earth as in heaven. That will require a coming of Christ in grace to establish His Kingdom, which, as Christ Himself said in the Gospel, “is not of this world” and which, therefore, cannot be instituted by any human person, no matter how Great of a Catholic Monarch he may be.

Indeed, it is that Coming of Christ in Grace that we pray for when we ask “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!”

For in doing so, we are obviously not merely begging Him for His Second Coming in the flesh to put an end to the world and commence the Last Judgment!! That would be a rather strange prayer to offer, given how much still needs to happen before The End. No, first, Christ must have His Kingdom on earth! Only upon so having His Kingdom on earth may He, as Scripture says, hand the kingdom over to His Father at the end of time. 

“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.” 1 Corinthians 15 22-25. 

Or, the Great Catholic Monarch may arise during the reign of the Antichrist to fight against him. Or he may arise towards the end of the reign of the Antichrist or immediately after Christ Himself destroys the Antichrist (by a Heaven-sent miracle, not by His physical coming). It matters little to me, as whichever of these scenarios winds up playing out makes no difference to what you and I must do here and now by:

1. Repenting of all of our sins
2. Making a general confession if we have not yet done so
3. Going to confession at least once a month moving forward
4. Praying the Rosary every day
5. Receiving the Eucharist as often as possible — preferably every day, if you can
6. Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet
7. Imploring and Proclaiming the Divine Mercy
8. Striving to Live in the Divine Will 
9. Proclaiming the Kingdom — the Divine Will
10. Consecrating ourselves and our families and homes to the Holy Family and being deeply devoted to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph together

Please do not delay these things any longer. Here we stand, a mere few days away from the long awaited Fall 2020.

(Meteorologically, Fall begins September 1st. In terms of the Equinox, it begins September 22nd). It is not just Fr. Michel saying that the purification will really begin this Fall. It is not just Fr. Michel saying have 3 months of food on hand now. A number of other alleged seers are saying the same thing.

I admit: I hope that Fr. Michel and the other seers saying this are wrong.

There is so much more I want to accomplish to proclaim the Divine Mercy and the Divine Will before the long-prophesied events hit. As I’ve said a million times, I’m still very much discerning Fr. Michel along with you all and I am by no means convicted of his prophecies (even though, in the meantime, I’ll gladly defend him against unjust criticism), notwithstanding the fact that I do find his prophecies worth sharing. His prophecies may wind up being proven false; we’ll see. But I’m not going to be so foolish as to just arrogantly assume he’s wrong, as so many are doing now on account of gossip or unfounded accusations. No, I’m going to consider that he may very well be right, and I’m going to ensure that I have, in my own soul, the sense of urgency that corresponds to the possibility that we might very well right now be living in the very final days of the Time of Mercy. I encourage you all, dear friends, to harbor a similar sense of urgency in your hearts.

Addendum. The aforementioned blogger also makes an erroneous point about the conversion of the Jews, which I also addressed in the Crown of Sanctity, page 376:

I’d like to post here a couple videos that recently went up, but not on my own YouTube channel, so my subscribers would not have been alerted: an interview with Fr. Mark Goring and a defense of the Era of Peace against those who attack it, erroneously claiming it is the heresy of Millenarianism. You can click those links or you can see the videos embedded at the bottom of this post.

Other Announcements:

A certain priest I’ve often quoted has just had published a lengthy two-part criticism of Fr. Michel Rodrigue (in addition to the emails against Fr. Michel that he sent out months ago). I’d like to preempt the inevitable flood of emails I’ll get forwarding this article to me by saying right now that I am aware of this article and I can’t say I’m planning on responding to it. As I said in my last post on this matter, I really cannot afford to devote more time to defending/explaining Fr. Michel or responding to the various issues that surround him.

As I’ve said so many times already; I’m not at all certain of the authenticity of Fr. Michel’s prophecies, nor am I even convicted of their authenticity. I simply think they’re worth noting, discerning, and alerting others to just in case. While I share many of the same concerns regarding Fr. Michel’s prophecies that readers have emailed to me, I still simply have not been able to honestly consider any of these concerns as sufficiently grave — nor any of the criticisms of him that are out there as sufficiently grave — to dismiss Fr. Michel’s prophecies out of hand. And I am, frankly, rather dumbfounded that so many Catholics are so dead set on opposing Fr. Michel. For the umpteenth time: He is NOT telling us to go and build refuges (he’s saying they already exist), and he is NOT telling us to abandon our lives after the Warning (he’s just saying follow your Guardian Angel –– pretty good advice!). Rather, he’s telling us to go to confession, consecrate ourselves to the holy family, and pray the Rosary every day.

• If his prophecies are authentic, that’s darn good advice.

• If his prophecies are inauthentic, that’s darn good advice.

• If his prophecies are authentic, we’ll know that within the next couple months.

• If his prophecies are inauthentic, we’ll know that within the next couple months. 

So, as I said in my response to Dr. Miravalle’s 10 Points (10 Points I still consider erroneous even in light of this most recent article here mentioned), why not just “wait and see”? (And, in the meantime, take Fr. Michel’s clearly solid advice?)

Oh, and, get 3 months of food. Now. Seriously. (And Gisella Cardia just said the same thing)

Frances Hogan, whom you may know from her beautiful and edifying teachings on Sacred Scripture that are often featured on EWTN, has been rallying souls in Ireland — and, indeed, around the whole world — to consecrate themselves to the Divine Will tomorrow, on the Feast of the Assumption (August 15th). I encourage all to join in this consecration!! You can listen to Frances’ excellent teachings on the Divine Will at her website, www.FrancesHogan.com. 

Here is a simple consecration to the Divine Will (if I recall correctly, this one was composed by Luisa at the request of St. Hannibal), formatted beautifully courtesy Barbara Martin. Here is the specific consecration prayer and sheet that people around the world will be using in the powerful initiative being led by Frances Hogan. 

I also want to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for promoting the short video ( https://youtu.be/Gtwz0mIukLQ ) I made on Luisa! It is indeed really getting the Divine Will message out there as I had hoped and prayed. I can tell from YouTube analytics that the majority of the exposure is coming from people simply spreading the message through email/social media/forums/etc., but I can also tell that the paid promotion definitely helped. So my deepest gratitude, as well, to all those who so generously donated to help with that! I want to especially thank C.P. (who I am keeping anonymous for now in case she wishes to remain that way) for her incredible generosity. May God reward her and all of you working so hard to proclaim the Kingdom!!! And I know that He will.

But as the purpose of this post was to promote tomorrow’s consecration, I’d like to conclude by sharing with you what Jesus said to Luisa on the Feast of the Assumption in the year 1925:

The true name of this Feast should be Feast of the Divine Will.  It was the human will that closed Heaven, broke the bonds with its Creator, made miseries and sorrow enter the field, and put an end to the feast that the creature was to enjoy in Heaven.  Now, this creature, Queen of all, by doing the Will of the Eternal One always and in everything – even more, it can be said that Her life was Divine Will alone – opened the Heavens, bound Herself to the Eternal One, and restored in Heaven the feasts with the creature.  Every act She did in the Supreme Will was a feast that She started in Heaven, it was suns that She formed to adorn this feast, it was melodies that She sent to delight the Celestial Jerusalem.  So, the true cause of this feast is the Eternal Will operating and fulfilled in my Celestial Mother.  It operated such prodigies in Her as to astonish Heaven and earth, chain the Eternal One with indissoluble bonds of love, and capture the Word even into Her womb.  The very Angels, enraptured, repeated among themselves:  ‘From where comes so much glory, so much honor, such greatness and prodigies never before seen, in this excelling Creature?  Yet, it is from the exile that She is coming.’  Astonished, they recognized the Will of their Creator as Life operating in Her; and, trembling, they said:  ‘Holy, Holy, Holy – honor and glory to the Will of Our Sovereign Lord.  And glory, and trice Holy – She who let this Supreme Will operate.’

So, it is my Will that, more than anything, was and is celebrated on the day of the Assumption into Heaven of my Most Holy Mother.  It was my Will alone that made Her ascend so high as to distinguish Her among all.  Everything else would have been as nothing, had She not possessed the prodigy of my Will.  It was my Will that gave Her divine fecundity and made Her the Mother of the Word.  It was my Will that made Her see and embrace all creatures together, becoming the Mother of all, and loving all with a love of Divine Maternity.  And making Her the Queen of all, It made Her rule and dominate.  On that day, my Will received the first honors, the glory and the abundant fruit of Its work in Creation, and It began Its feast, which It never interrupts, for the glorification of Its operating in my beloved Mother.  And even though Heaven was opened by Me, and many Saints were already in possession of the Celestial Fatherland when the Celestial Queen was assumed into Heaven, however, She Herself was the primary cause, having fulfilled the Supreme Will in everything, and therefore we waited for She who had honored It so much and contained the true prodigy of the Most Holy Will, to make the first feast for the Supreme Volition.  Oh! how the whole of Heaven magnified, blessed and praised the Eternal Will, upon seeing this sublime Queen enter the Empyreum, in the midst of the Celestial Court, all circumfused by the Eternal Sun of the Supreme Volition!  They saw Her all studded with the power of the Supreme Fiat; there had been not even a heartbeat in Her which did not have this Fiat impressed on it.  And, astonished, they looked at Her and said to Her:  ‘Ascend, ascend higher.  It is right that She who so much honored the Supreme Fiat, and through whom we find ourselves in the Celestial Fatherland, have the highest throne and be our Queen.’  And the greatest honor that my Mother received, was to see the Divine Will glorified.”

Have more amazing words about Our Lady ever been spoken? And yet, that is scarcely the tip of the iceberg of the glories of Our Lady you will learn about if you dive into Luisa’s Revelations. I’ll give my usual reminders that you can do so with a free audiobook here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf2hTqJx7dg  a free eBook (as a kindle here https://amazon.com/dp/B07P9M3R63 and as a free PDF here https://dsdoconnor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/the-crown-of-sanctity.pdf ). All of the revelations themselves are linked to on the right hand sidebar on this blog. 

I would, however, be remiss to not share what Jesus told Luisa earlier within that same diary entry on August 15, 1925; though I will paraphrase it here for the sake of brevity. After giving an astounding exposition on how the Divine Will operates in all created things; especially how all of material creation is created for man and is, as it were, honored to serve man, particularly a soul who lives in the Divine Will…. He goes on to say how, when man sins so gravely (as he does today more than ever before in history), he casts himself down so low that the elements themselves, in a certain sense, become “superior” to man and chastise man (obviously, this is not because anything in creation can ever surpass man in its own dignity; it is merely because natural things below man lack reason and free will, thus they cannot possibly sin and thereby detach themselves from God as man can). And it is precisely these Chastisements of which the world now stands on the very brink. Mark Mallett and I discussed that in our most recent webcast:
