The nations of the G7 economic summit offered Brazil a measly 22 million US dollars to help with combating the fires. It is a laughably small amount of money and the initiative comes from Emanuel Macron who can barely keep the streets of Paris safe and could not prevent the arson of well over 1,000 churches in France, including Notre Dame of Paris. This last one was a lawful property of the Catholic Church that the French Republic appropriated and was never returned. Now the original Notre Dame is lost along with many other church buildings in France that have succumbed to arson.
Why is the Amazon forest on fire. Please trust this South American: some part of the rain forest is always on fire. There are old folk songs written about it. That is due in part that more lightning falls in that area of the world than in any other area. It is impossible to prevent naturally occurring lightning although it would be nice if a bolt from Heaven falls on monsieur le président de la République française for a change.
President Bolsonaro of Brazil declined to the “generous offer” of the very countries that make money destroying the environments of the entire world. President Jair Bolsonaro’s chief of staff, Onyx Lorenzoni, who advised French President Emmanuel Macron to take care of “his home and his colonies.” It is good advice, in my opinion.
The so called Latin America is in dire need of good governance. The rest of the world –including France– could use good administrators also. The planet is a royal mess. In a recent article, Fr. Regis Scanlon pointed a several reasons why mankind may be visited by a divine chastisement soon. I am one that would like to see some kind of order imposed on the inmates running this asylum we call Earth. It is obvious that we cannot govern ourselves. In the meanwhile, the great talents in Rome are planning another Synod. So far, Deepak Chopra has not been summoned but there is always hope.
Maranatha.

Things are “warming up” it seems.
The fires in the Amazon started after a meteor shower. Reported by a friend coming back to Buenos Aires from the area. Argentina armed forces units participated in a security and military assistance exercise in Brazil.

A friend from Uruguay reports fires under the Arctic circle: Alaska and Siberia are experiencing unprecedented and unseasonal forest fires as well. Is this the PRELUDE of the things to come? Fr. Regis’ article is still resonating in my mind.

Thank you Carlos,
Yes, you are right and I think Father Scanlon is right.
People have been fighting against Christ and His Holy Mother for too long. It is becoming unbearable. Even the earth is not able to bear it anymore.
Probably there wil be a chastisement prior to the Second Coming of Jesus.
We have to pray the Rosary with much fervor.

MICHEL BÉLISLE,
Yes we must pray the Rosary. Our survival and most importantly, our salvation, may depend on it. Fires are erupting everywhere: Bolivia, Brazil, Central Africa, Siberia, Alaska … The proportions are beyond epic. This is likely to cause a detectable global drop in temperature as the smoke produces the Krakatoa effect. blocking the sun rays. We were told to raise our heads because our liberation is near. Let us raise our heads indeed. This may be the beginning of our Passover.

Will that Synod cause the chastisement? I’m afraid there are good chances it would.

The United States is already under chastisement and judgment for its sins of the millions of children murdered by their parents, for degrading God’s gift of marriage, for trampling on children’s innocence, and much more. The only possible stopping of this justice, is if the whole country turns in repentance and receives the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
We who “hear”, are working with God in the preparing of ourselves and praying for all others, to be able to go on with Him as things progressively get worse. Take a look at the Democrat Party which has given the go ahead to kill babies born alive from abortion, with the choice left to the child’s mother, to have him or her killed then, or not. It is all uglier than one could ever have imagined.
Our President is but a man, and so as Paul wrote in Romans 7 and 8, we all lament when we do as we wish we would not do, and only Jesus Christ can save us. Paul is acknowledging our adamic nature which remains even after our conversion to Christ. So, the times our President gets a bit grandiose in his tweets, can be forgiven as due to that. We pray for him, for who has had a sinless life, and we keep on asking God to keep him on His plans for him. So far, so good.
I do believe that he will be re-elected in 2020, by God’s mercy.
God bless, C-Marie

Wow…I have just search about the official date of the beginning of the fire…scientists say 10th of this month. In the dawn of days 12th and 13th…there occured above right direct the Amazônia region, the famous Perseidas Meteor Shower…the second strong this year.

Yes. I had a previous email from a friend in Virginia informing me of that. On the 13th uh? That is remarkable, Aprígio! Thanks for the info.
Perseid meteor showers on 13/08/2019 were falling over the Amazon Rain forest when the fires started on 13 August 2019.
If this is significant, I assume we will have some big event on September 13. Let us see what develops!
The Synod begins on the day of Our Lady of Victories, October 7, 2019 and continues through October 13, the 102th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun. Now the Miracle of the Sun was mainly directed to the gentile nations and not to the Church. Signals in the heavens are divided in lunar and solar. Traditionally from the days of Genesis, the Hebrew scholars have assigned solar signs to the nations (i.e. Nineveh’s eclipse during the times of Jonah) and lunar signs to the People of God (first full moon of the spring during the Exodus, the entering into the Promise Land, the Crucifixion of Our Lord, etc.
If this is a Passover for the Church, there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars all the way to Easter 2020. In 2020 it falls on Sunday, April 12. Good Friday is therefore April 10, and the Easter Monday falls on April 13.
This is getting quite interesting. I am sure other inferences could be made but this is enough to motivate us to get ready spiritually reinforcing our prayers, Mass attendance, etc. reception of the Eucharist, etc. I do not think this is “the end” but it may very well be the beginning of the end for the rulers of this world.
Will we be entering the age of peace on April 13, 2020? wouldn’t that be glorious?
I have a personal witness for that. I had some very surprising, nearly impossible to believe personal warnings, certainly a test of my trust in God (always a big struggle for me) This time, I trust. I do trust in Him with all my heart.
Today is my baptismal saint: St. Augustine of Hippo who said: “I trust because it is impossible.” Well, let me repeat that phrase. I trust all my impossibles to Him and I know they will come to pass.
God bless you all!

Thank you for bringing back to our memories the Notre Dame fire in Paris.
I think it was a huge sign. I think it gives credit to Fr Scanlon article about chastisement this year. And I hope it is also the return of Jesus.
