Since the dawn of the 20th Century, He has revealed—through more prophets than at any other point in history—what is coming. Few listened.
Therefore, Chastisements arrived. We saw two World Wars, genocides, millions of martyred Christians, pandemics, famines, and natural disasters—most of which transpired to an utterly unprecedented degree of destruction.
Still, few listened. The world only grew more mired in apostasy with each passing year.
And now, the time has arrived for God to intervene directly; not only through allowing those Chastisements which are the inevitable result of our sins, but through interventions which can only be called “Biblical,” for they are described in the Bible’s final book. But God does nothing without first alerting the prophets. Therefore these forthcoming interventions have likewise been announced beforehand—especially The Warning—and it is now urgent that souls get their hearts ready.
In a word: “Prepare to meet your God.” This verse is a true admonition; not a mere literary device. We must prepare to see Him:
I made that website a decade ago, inspired by Pope Benedict XVI’s proclamation of the Year of Faith. My goal with it was simply to provide a single URL that anyone—no matter where he was coming from—could be encouraged to go to in order to be evangelized and have whatever sins and errors he likely clings to (if he is an average modern person) be addressed. I asked myself, “If Our Lady came, not as an apparition, but as a website, what would that website look like?” PrepareToSeeHim.org is my best attempt at answering that question. (And indeed, it is written from the perspective of Our Lady.)
Accordingly, this URL is on the back of the Evangelization Cards that my wife and I have so far mailed out hundreds of thousands of. Unfortunately, when Google switched all Google Sites to their new layout last year, it ruined all the website’s formatting, and I have only now finally managed to fix that. I plan to continue improving it in the days ahead, but at least it is now back to being readable. So I’d encourage you to consider sharing this URL with those you feel may be in need of being evangelized — which, let us be frank, is just about everyone today (including those who already regard themselves as devout Christians or even devout Catholics!). My hope is also that immediately after the Warning occurs (I plan to have the website be much better by then, which means I better hurry!), this website will be able to serve as an easy, one-stop resource to help those who are shocked. To help them realize what is needed to make use of the graces they received during the Illumination—why their sins and errors were wrong, and what they need to do to repent and amend their ways. I wanted to make a website where those goals were the sole purpose of the URL (no blog posts, no news, no advertisements, no donation solicitation, etc.—just what is needed to help souls repent of the most pervasive sins and errors.), so that no other clutter would risk hampering this effort.
This is an opportune moment to reiterate what had long been the homepage of this blog (I only switched it to show most recent posts, instead, because I kept getting emails from people who were asking where my recent post was!). The image below is what, for years, anyone who went to dsdoconnor.com would immediately see:
I think it is safe to say that what I wrote there has proven true. I wrote those words first in 2016, precisely when “commentary and debate” had began appearing—to many Catholics—so utterly important as to eclipse all other duties, when in fact such an appearance was just a temptation. Since then, that very temptation has only grown.
Don’t get me wrong, commentary and debate does remain important in some cases, and I’m sure you’ll see plenty of commentary continuing from yours truly.
But it is not The Mission. It is, quite often, a distraction from The Mission. How tragic it is that today we see so many souls—who were once (recently!) so devout, so full of good deeds, so effective at evangelizing, always striving after sanctity, praying constantly, remaining at peace no matter what—now constantly bitter and angry, abandoning their former spiritual practices, absorbed in debate and discord, becoming worldly, concerned only with making sure they have each current event in the Church or the World “figured out,” and doing almost nothing genuinely helpful for the salvation of souls or the coming of the Kingdom. This trend is just another fulfillment of Our Lord’s own prophecy in the Gospel, about the last times, “because iniquity hath abounded, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12)
The moment we have spent 50 years praying for, fasting for, fighting for, marching for, bleeding for, sweating for, and weeping for, has finally arrived. But this also means a serious hastening of the Opening of the Seals of Revelation.
A Screenshot from the SCOTUSBlog website where this was first announced to the world at 10:12am Eastern Time on June 24th, 2022
This is cause for tremendous rejoicing, and above all, for giving prayerful thanks to Almighty God.
And what a fitting day for such a great victory: June 24th is usually the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (This year, however, due to the Feast of the Sacred Heart, John’s Nativity was moved to the 23rd)
If Roe v. Wade is overturned on Thursday—the Vigil of the Nativity of John the Baptist—both the Solemnity itself and the Mass Readings sure would be Providential: pic.twitter.com/wiW5zscJvq
John the Baptist, as we all know, leapt in his mother’s womb upon the approach of Christ – in His own mother’s womb – when Mary came to Elizabeth at the Visitation. He thereby gave powerful testimony not only to Christ’s Divinity, but also to the sanctity of unborn children.
His “Divine Mercy will triumph, and will be worshipped by all souls.” (St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul.) And that is today’s actual liturgical Feast this year — the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (tomorrow’s Feast, and deeply united with today’s) will Triumph on earth. The most important element of that Triumph is its casting into hell the so many evils that dominate the world today. And no evil is so diabolical and pervasive as abortion.
But today is also a time for a sober recognition that the Devil is going to fly into an utter rage over the humiliating defeat he just suffered.
… and brace yourself spiritually, because the Devil is about to fly into a rage the likes of which the world has never seen. This is a good sign, for it shows that he knows his time is short. Respond to his tantrum with redoubled zeal for God's glory.
The outlets of this rage will be numerous, but one outlet of his fury has already been made explicit: the group going by the name “Jane’s Revenge,” and other groups (e.g. “Ruth Sent Us”), who have promised vandalism and violence against the Catholic Church, the Mass, Catholic Priests, and the Faithful if and when Roe v. Wade is overturned.
I see no reason to suspect they are or were joking. Indeed, they already have vandalized numerous pro-life pregnancy centers and disrupted numerous Masses, merely due to the anticipation that Roe v. Wade would be overturned. What do you suppose they’ll do now that it actually has been?
The Seals of Revelation’s Sixth Chapter are opening before our eyes. I have written and spoken much about that these last two years. To those “professional Catholics” who despise prophecy and categorically reject any Apocalyptic considerations with catlike reflexes (and catlike critical thinking), I implore undertaking an exercise: Open Revelation 6, and write a piece of imaginative fiction describing a time in which its contents begin to be fulfilled:
Peace taken from the earth (Seal 2)
Hyperinflation– a day’s worth of wheat requiring an entire day’s wages to purchase (Seal 3)
Widespread death through famine, plague, violence (Seal 4)
Widespread martyrdom of the Faithful, whose death cries out to God for vengeance (Seal 5)
Mini-Judgment Day (The Warning: Seal 6). Stay tuned for the arrival of this one.
Well, your work of “fiction,” if written honestly, just described today.
Clearly we have seen – but, still, have only seen the beginning – the global opening of the Seals 2, 3, and 4. (Seal 1, on the other hand–the rider on the White Horse–is held by Catholic Tradition to be positive–Christ conquering souls–and we have seen that these last decades in the extension of the Time of Mercy). We have also seen the opening of the Fifth Seal of Martyrdom in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. But this Fifth Seal has only creaked open relatively lightly in the West.
I suspect that this ruling overturning Roe v Wade– though an enormous good and a great blessing in itself – will push further open (perhaps even wide open) the door to the Fifth Seal in the West, and serve as the opening event of Great Persecution prophesied for the Apocalyptic Times we are now entering.
(One example of the flyers that have been popping up everywhere)
Abortion is the greatest institutional evil in history. It is the crown jewel in the Devil’s diabolical desires for the world, and Roe v. Wade was abortion’s single biggest sustenance; at least, it was abortion’s most widely revered symbol of domination. This decision’s overturning, of course, does not end abortion, but it does signal the beginnings of the End of an Era.
The Devil knows this, and he only has so much restraint. This blow to his plans will push him past those limits. If he has held back from certain types of open persecution in certain places up until now – knowing that this tends to generate great saints – he will not be able to resist any longer.
What this demands of us, therefore, is above all a “Call for the Endurance of the Saints” – which is a repeated admonition in the Book of Revelation. A call to remain absolutely assured that God is 100% in charge, and to remain absolutely steadfast in our Faith and Trust in Him – our striving to do and live in His Will – no matter what happens.
But it is also a call to:
“Be Sober, Be Vigilant” (1 Peter 5)
TheVigilants.com
I made “The Vigilants” last month, inspired by the utterly catastrophic moral failure of the Uvalde Police Department, as a call to men everywhere to prepare both their bodies and their souls to always stand ready to be the Good Samaritans; no matter what the situation calls for – not standing by idly expecting official first responders to do the job demanded by the circumstances at hand.
But now I think that, although Uvalde was my immediate inspiration for starting the Vigilants, the real purpose for it in God’s plan was because of what was about to transpire in the diabolical rage against the Church that will be stirred up by Roe v. Wade’s demise – and the corresponding call of the Faithful everywhere, but men especially, to stand physically and spiritually ready for acts of heroism in defending the innocent.
If indeed groups like “Jane’s Revenge” make good on their promises to violently attack Catholic Masses throughout the nation (though we can assume, in this age wherein the entire Western World tends to move like a single piece of machinery, that this rage will not be restricted to America), then this means that men everywhere must be ready to defend not only their fellow Massgoers, but also the dignity of the Holy Sacrifice and the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
All three are even worth sacrificing our lives to defend: Innocent people indeed, but also the Sanctity of the Mass, and the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
This is a task above all ill-suited to an unspiritual man who, attached to the things of the world and lacking zeal for and devotion in the Faith, would only seek to preserve his own life in an extraordinary situation.
But it is also a task ill-suited to a man who, even if he is capable of doing otherwise, nevertheless allows his body to become weak and incapable. Therefore:
Men, Stand up.
Be ready.
Prepare your soul for heroism and, if needed, martyrdom.
Prepare your body to fight to defend the innocent.

I’ve been doing these walks for over 8 years (I started DWMoM itself in 2015, but started the forerunner apostolate in 2014), and it only just occurred to me to give livestreaming one walk a try. My reason for doing so was simply to show an example of what a DWMoM walk can look like, so as to clear up any mystery and illustrate just how easy it is. But a comment someone made on the YouTube video (thanks, Mary!) got me thinking: there is another, perhaps more important thing the livestream did. It enabled those who were watching, live, to pray for all those I came across just as I was doing.
Anyway, I am eager to get my reader’s input on this. I don’t want to bother my YouTube subscribers with a bunch of videos they might not be interested in, but I don’t want to pass up on what may be a great opportunity of grace, either. So if you have an opinion on this, feel free to vote in this poll:
This week’s first readings at Daily Mass detail the machinations of King Ahab’s evil wife, Jezebel. The prophetic significance and timeliness of the “Jezebelian” admonitions is extraordinary and unmistakable. Jezebel’s own corrupt qualities describe the modern world—which proudly appropriates her antics—whereas Jezebel’s fate in the Old Testament (as well as the New Testament prophecies regarding the apocalyptic “Jezebelian” society in which we now live) tells us what will soon come of the corrupt world that follows in her footsteps. More on that in a moment; first, a few words on the historical Jezebel.
Jezebel’s villainy is one for which equals are difficult to find. She seduced her husband, the King of Israel, to nationally institute the gravest of all sins into God’s Kingdom: idolatry. Not any idolatry, either, but idolatry of its most perverse form—the explicit worship of the “god” (demon) Baal. She persecuted, purged, and killed the true prophets of God, as well as those Israelites who remained steadfast in the Faith, and she protected and promoted the false prophets of this demon, doing her utmost to cause the spiritual destruction of the entire people.
Her evil was such that God promised she would be destroyed in a most gruesome way, with the dogs eating her corpse such that it would be unrecognizable, and that her bloodline would end.
Some time after she had Naboth murdered (so that her husband Ahab could claim Naboth’s vineyard), Elisha—who had received the prophetic commission from the unmatched Elijah—sent Jehu to command the Israelite army and execute Divine vengeance upon Jezebel. When Jezebel heard news of his imminent arrival, she adorned herself with makeup (2 Kings 9:30) in hopes of seducing Jehu from her high balcony. This attempt failed, and upon arriving, Jehu called out from the ground below:
“Who is on my side!? Who!?” (2 Kings 9:32)
…at which point some of Jezebel’s own servants were inspired to stand up and be counted. Jehu commanded them to be the executors of God’s wrath, the Bible tells us what happened next:
So they threw her down; and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled on her. Then he went in and ate and drank; and he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.” But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. When they came back and told him, he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, ‘In the territory of Jezre′el the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the territory of Jezre′el, so that no one can say, This is Jezebel.’”
2 Kings 9
Behold the Judgment of the Harlot. God is Just.
I am not, however, intending to convey a history lesson here. This about the present and the future; and it is not a mere lesson, but rather a sure prophecy.
Modern society is now Jezebelian to the very core: in its perversity, its sexual immorality, its mindless lust for power, its persecution of the truth and those who proclaim it, its infiltration even into the Church of God, its murder of innocents, and its promotion of the false prophets of demons (e.g., those who proclaim the Diabolical Quantum Leap.)
Therefore it is perhaps unsurprising that Jezebel herself has become an object of fascination and esteem in today’s culture. The fact that she is now explicitly revered and imitated instead of denounced is itself a testimony to today’s apocalyptic moral and spiritual degeneracy:
In recent years, at least 20 songs named “Jezebel” have been released in major albums. The last one was described—by its creators (the Finnish rock band “the Rasmus”)—as “an homage, a tribute, to the strong women of today, who own their bodies, who are in charge of their sensuality, their sexuality…” Jezebel’s promiscuous reputation is presented as a model to imitate, and her being “in charge of her body” pays homage to the Molochesque modern religion of child sacrifice–abortion.
Jezebel (.com) is a very popular news website launched in 2007, named in honor of the Biblical harlot. It has published an uncountable deluge of articles supporting every evil one can name; but above all, abortion. It has called for the months ahead in 2022 to be a “Summer of Rage” in support of the murder of unborn children, and has promoted many evils that are simply too revolting for me to even detail here. Hundreds of thousands of people follow “Jezebel” on social media.
In March of this year, none other than TIME magazine published an article defending Jezebel and denouncing the Bible for its “misogynistic logic of patriarchy,” castigating its “incorrect” account of Jezebel herself, and dismissing the Prophet Elijah as a “fundamentalist.” The author of this TIME article laments that “Jezebel’s only crime” was that she “regarded Elijah as an equal.” Such utterly twisted words as these would be surprising to see even in the comments section of the blog of some Satanist or Wiccan living in her parents’ basement; yet, in 2022, we see them exalted in the largest weekly news magazine in the entire world.
God, of course, knew what would come of society when He inspired each word of the Bible; particularly the Book of Revelation. He knew that, 2,000 years after that book was written, the whole world would be flooded by this unholy spirit of Jezebel. And this is why He authored the following words of Revelation’s second Chapter to the Church in Thyatira:
“I know your works, your love, faith, service, and endurance, and that your last works are greater than the first. Yet I hold this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her harlotry. So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works. I will also put her children to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of you what your works deserve. But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not uphold this teaching and know nothing of the so-called deep secrets of Satan: on you I will place no further burden, except that you must hold fast to what you have until I come.”
Revelation 2: 19-25
Now, most of the prophetic elements of Scripture have multiple valid interpretations. The passage above is, of course, a direct admonishment to an actual historical Church (“Diocese,” you could say) in Thyatira, during the first century. But it is also an allusion to what the Book of Revelation later describes in Chapter 17; the Harlot with whom
“the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk.”
Revelation 17:2
This Harlot, in other words, seduces the entire world into immorality and idolatry. It is precisely the tentacles of her evil, spread across the globe, that enable the Beast (the Antichrist) to exercise his diabolical dominion over the earth. Ironically, however, the Beast also hates the Harlot and will himself be an instrument of her downfall. (Or perhaps it is not ironic: evil is hatred to the very core; it hates God, it hates good, but it also hates other evil people. There is no fellowship in hell; all there hate each other, and the evil of the earth today hate each other too, even in the midst of superficial and fake camaraderie.)
This downfall, we see described next in the Bible:
“…the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor. And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons … all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion …the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness.” Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues…”
Revelation 17,18
Two admonitions for us stand out in the passages above from Revelation 2, 17, and 18.
First: Do not even tolerate Jezebel. Hold fast in the Faith, without compromise, until Christ comes.
The LGBT lobby—in both the world and the Church—might appear so powerful as to now leave us with no choice but to surrender to it.
But that appearance is false.
Never, never, never, never, never give in to anything opposed to God's Will.
Second: “Come out of her, lest you share in her plagues!”
As each day seems to bring news of the most corrupt and apostate among the Church's hierarchy being rewarded with promotions and honors, it would behoove us to remember precisely how the wheat and the chaff are separated.
Increasingly we hear voices in the Church–including every level of her hierarchy–insisting, flatly contrary to Jesus’ direct exhortation in Scripture, that we tolerate Jezebel. Let those who thus advocate dare not say they were not warned, when they see that their toleration of this harlot and her impurity causes them to partake in her own Divinely-ordained downfall.
“Love the sinner, hate the sin,” may often be difficult to live out, but the principle is not complicated, and loving the sinner never means accepting the sin (still less supporting “pride” in that sin). But the Harlot holds great power today, and she readily shares her ill begotten gains with those in the Church who advance her agenda. It is precisely the lust for this power and this praise from the Jezebelian world that has seduced so many in the Church (both in her pews and her hierarchy) to tolerate and accept her immorality.
Have no part in it. “Come out of her!” as Jesus begs us in the Book of Revelation, “lest you share in her plagues!” Her plagues are coming. They are coming so very soon. You–dear soul now cooperating with Jezebel– have very little time to “come out of her.”
Are youin any waycooperating with abortion, “LGBT” pride, pornography, contraception, fornication, adultery, Paganism, atheism, institutional evil, etc.? Jesus is begging you, “Come out of her, my people!” His mercy is infinite, and whoever you are–no matter how deep within Jezebel you have sunk–you can be forgiven and healed. But the time in which that Mercy is available is very rapidly drawing to a close.
Immediately after the passages above, The Apocalypse goes on to describe the extreme and sudden downfall of this Harlot. After her defeat, St. John describes:
…The mighty voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
Revelation 19
Indeed, the tale I tell now is not a sad story. It is a tale of victory.
As heavy thunderstorms here in New York (the "Birthplace of Pride") suddenly burst forth out of nowhere, on this first day of "Pride Month," I am reminded of the following passage in Luisa's writings.
Therefore, please do not assume that I consider any particular mystic/seer as authentic unless 1) I have specifically said so, or 2) He or she has been given a “constat de supernaturalitate” approval (not merely published books/messages that got Imprimaturs) by the Church, or 3) He/she has since died and his/her cause of Beatification has been formally opened. (And remember that, even among the living seers I have quoted approvingly, I still feel I am “only discerning” most of them; though I do feel quite confident in, for example, Medjugorje’s authenticity). Even more importantly, don’t assume I disbelieve in a mystic/seer unless I’ve specifically said so, either!
Even some of today’s “big name expert” theologians in Catholic mysticism/private revelation believe in certain alleged mystics/seers that I do not. But I’m not going to get any more specific than to say that. Worry not; you don’t need a knucklehead from New York named Daniel O’Connor to tell you who is and is not authentic among the countless living alleged seers. I am certainly not worthy of even attempting to fill that role. You’ll be fine so long as you:
Be careful to avoid the lies of what I call the “Diabolical Quantum Leap” (Tragically, some alleged “seers” will indeed promote tenets of that; and some of have already done so),
Remember that an individual private revelation can be a mixed bag (unlike Public Revelation, which is 100% Holy Spirit)– a compilation of some legitimately supernaturally-inspired insights, with some subjective (even accidental) insertions from the human intellect of the recipient, and even with some diabolical deception (especially if the seer is not under careful, constant, in-person spiritual direction from a Catholic priest whom he/she always obeys absolutely.)
Spend the vast majority of your private revelation reading time with those texts that are indisputably entirely authentic (e.g. revelations like St. Faustina’s, Bl. Conchita’s, Bl. Dina Belanger’s, Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta’s; apparitions like Fatima/Heede/Akita/Kibeho/etc.; mystics like St. Maximilian Kolbe, Servant of God Archbishop Luis Martinez, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity )
If we had the faintest notion of the incomprehensibly glorious eternal value of suffering in union with Christ, it is all we would want to do. Let us focus less on seeking to end our sufferings, and more on seeking to suffer with joy in the Divine Will for the salvation of souls. pic.twitter.com/A88RuedVF3
