New Catholic DictionaryNews from Ned DoughertyGreetings from Ned Dougherty!

Today, August 1, 2005 is a landmark day for me and for what I believe to be my mission in life. For today, I have received interior locutions from Jesus, Mary, and St. Michael. (See messages below).

Many recent wake-up calls seem to have done little to make people stop and think about the fact that they have a mission in life that does not necessarily include running to the mall, upgrading to a larger SUV, or keeping up with their neighbors? spending addictions. Since September 11th, people seem to be returning to life as usual, and they have become teflonated to the dark realities of the world. We continue to be caught up in this swirl of negative energy that keeps growing at such a dizzying and quickening pace that life itself has taken on a surreal reality. We all seem to have been caught up in a negative wave of materialism and spending that is removing us from focusing on why we are here on Earth.

Since the Asian Tsunami of December 26, 2004, and prior to the recent terrorist attacks in London and Egypt, I had been warning during my speaking engagements that we were experiencing a False Sense of Quietness that would not last forever.

Now, the messages that I have received today indicate that this False Sense of Quietness may soon be shattered.

God bless you and your family in these perilous times!

Message from St. Michael the Archangel ?

addressed to the People of the United States of America

The time has come for your nation to make a stand. You are now at the crossroads of the new millennium. The decisions you make as a nation and as a people will determine the fate of humanity from this time forward. You have allowed your government to become corrupted by the materialism and greed of the world. The time is now to reverse this tide.

Around the world there are peoples who are being ravaged by hunger and sickness and disease. Yet, you stand by as a nation and do little or nothing. You devote your resources only to the conflicts that will result in the fortunes of war for your own selfish war profiteers. They see no profit in feeding the hungry so they do not help them. They only help themselves. These profiteers of war are pillaging your country and destroying your ideals for their own personal reasons. They are the power brokers of the world who are attempting to manipulate and control others for their own personal profit. They must be stopped and you as a people have the power through prayer to stop them. Your nation cannot continue on the path that it is going. If you do not reverse the trend, you will be destroyed like all major civilizations of the past ? to be covered over by the waters or reduced to ashes and dust through time.

Your greatest calamity is your denial of the sanctity of life. At both ends of life and throughout life you ignore that every human being is a gift from God that is to be cherished and honored. Each and every life, all of human life has value ? not one life has more value than the other.

Yet, you are destroying life at its conception and manipulating life in scientific experimentation. You are doing exactly what has been done by other great civilizations of the past and these activities resulted in their destruction. And they will also result in the destruction of your nation and people.

You are given the opportunity at this point in history to make a choice to clearly be on the side of God or to continue on a path that is against His Divine Will. As a people, the choice is yours to make. Do not allow the power brokers and politicians to make these decisions for you when you realize that their decisions are wrong. Your first allegiance is to your God while their allegiance is to materialism and greed.

You must rise up as a nation and protest the policies that do not recognize the sanctity of life. You must return God and His commandments to your government, your institutions, and your schools. You cannot allow the present conditions to continue.

You children are being raised in a secular atmosphere that has no recognition of God. They are losing a connection to their spiritual self worth and identity. If the present course continues, you will be a nation of soulless beings, devoid of any connection to God and then the destruction and the death will follow. Or you can rise up against the secular minority and restore your God and Creator as the rightful leader of your people and initiate the steps that will lead to the Era of Peace.

But time is running out. You must respond soon!

– St. Michael the Archangel.

Message from Jesus of Nazareth

My cup runneth over! The weight of the sins of humanity has become too much for me to bear. You must reverse the course of humanity now to avoid terrible consequences. The weight of sin is causing the whole world to tremble. The might of my sword cannot be held back. I do not want a punishment for my people but I am powerless to stop you from reckless acts of free will that are endangering humanity?s existence.

You must return to a life of prayer and reflection. With the whole world in prayer and reflection, you may usher in the Era of Peace. It is out of my hands as the Son of the Creator, because the weight of your sins has become too much for my arms to bear. I have deep devotion and love for all my people but they now deny me in greater numbers. The folly of this path will lead to destruction and death.

The mechanisms are already set in motion – not by my Divine Will – but by the natural course of the Universal Laws that were created to control and determine the course of man?s destiny depending upon man?s response to God?s call to live a life of love for God, for self, and for all brothers and sisters. In the absence of this love, there is only darkness ahead.

You are entering the gravest of times in the history of humanity. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Pray for an end to abortion. Pray for the conversion of sinners. Pray for the salvation of the world. For only through prayer, will the world be saved from the sins of humanity. I love you my children and wish you God?s speed in saving the world!

– Jesus of Nazareth

Message from Our Lady of Light

My dear son,

Many months have passed since I visited with you atop the mountain at La Salette. I planned that night for you because you have a very important mission ahead of you in my honor. I asked you to heed my words to you on that evening that ?My intentions here at La Salette have not been honored by my priests.? (November 30, 2004)

It was at La Salette that I first chose to speak through the children to the world. I wanted the world to understand the gravity and importance of my messages at La Salette and to see those messages through the children?s eyes so no one could accuse them of making up stories. But my words at La Salette were not heeded by the world.

As I told you, my son, there is a timeliness and timelessness in my messages to the world. I led you to my places of appearances so that you would understand what I have been trying to tell the world for many ages.

Now we are in perilous times in the world. I warned you of the conditions that were being created around the world because of the sin. You have been shown the images that would result from the shaking of the world. I showed you why my Son?s arms have become so heavy, just as I had done before for the children of La Salette.

You saw the images of destruction from the Asian Tsunami in advance and of other tsunamis yet to come, if the world does not convert and return to the arms of my Son.

For now His arms are becoming too heavy again for me to bear or for you my children to bear. It is because of the weight of the sins of the world that by Son?s arms are becoming so heavy. Unless there is a substantial world wide conversion in these times, the world will be shaken again resulting in more death and destruction.

The time is now to pray for the conversion of sinners, for the conversion of the world, and a return of mankind to the principles of a good and holy life as shown by my Son, Jesus, and His Holy Family.

For in these times, you need to heed the example of the Holy Family in another time. Remember, my son, that there is a timeliness and timelessness to my messages and the messages of the Holy Family as provided through Scripture.

Only with a return to God by humanity and the embracing of Godly principles as exemplified by my Son, Jesus, will the world be saved from terrible destruction and death. We are in the worst of times for humanity and we cannot continue on the present course.

You must reach out to your brothers and sisters and ask them to pray for world peace and to pray for an end to the destruction and carnage from both the geophysical and geopolitical events. You must pray so that your prayers begin to influence the political leaders and power brokers of the world so that they begin to understand that they cannot joust with God?s plan for humanity.

Your prayers are more powerful than you realize. You must emphasize that Prayer, Prayer, Prayer will change humanity for the better and usher in the Era of Peace.

I will be leaving you now but I will be with you until the end of time. You must remember that you are not to hold back any longer. The times are too grave now.

I wish to be known in America as the Lady of Light and through this title I will convey my messages of love and peace for all of mankind!

– Our Lady of Light

End Notes from Ned:

I have been procrastinating; actually I have been detached from the writing process because of the distractions of life. There is too much material within me that needs to be written down and I have been holding back. The process of writing for me requires tremendous concentration and a removal of me from the realities of every day life.

I asked many of you to pray for me to return to the writing process. I was strongly inspired to believe that August 1st was the deadline for me to return to the writing. I assumed that I would be writing material for the several books on which I have been sporadically working. However, I was not anticipating that I would be receiving interior locutions from Jesus, Mary, and St. Michael.

I actually began to write material at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island in Eastport, New York http://www.ourladyoftheisland.org on Sunday morning, July 30th. Later on during the day, I realized that I was being quietly but strongly urged to return to ?Sugarloaf? to Pennsylvania where the actual inspired writing would begin. I drove to Hazleton, PA on Sunday evening and the inspired writing came to me on Monday morning, August 1st ? just as it had been planned!

The Messages from St. Michael the Archangel and Jesus of Nazareth were received in the morning. I knew that a message was forthcoming from Our Lady but the inspiration did not come to me in the morning. I left the residence and walked down Elm Street to St. Gabriel?s Church for the noon Mass and prayed before Our Lady?s statue following the Mass. Upon returning to the Elm Street residence, I began to pray and meditate to Our Lady and went into a deep sleep for most of the afternoon. When I awoke, the message from Our Lady of Light came to me.

I returned to St. Gabriel?s Church at 6:00 PM to participate in the Eucharistic Adoration and to pray for discernment in my writings. Upon leaving the Church after 7:00 PM, I walked back up Elm Street and turned to look down the hill towards the Church. The sun was still high in the sky above the twin spires of St. Gabriel?s Church and I experienced the Miracle of the Sun. When I experience the Miracle of the Sun, I view the Eucharistic Host prominently positioned within the outline of the spinning sun. Many times I experience the rays of the sun turning a violet color ? the color of the rays of Divine Mercy. At approximately 7:30 PM, I experienced this phenomena again as I stood on Elm Street.

I believe that this particular gift of the Miracle of the Sun was a confirmation for me that I needed to convey the Messages from Jesus, Mary, and St. Michael to you on the very same day that they were given to me. I am reminded that I am not to hold back any longer.

Incidentally, I visited La Salette in the French Alps on the night of November 30, 2004 where I had a very personal experience with Our Lady. She first appeared at the same site in the French Alps to the children of La Salette (Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud) on September 19, 1846. I was born exactly one hundred years to the day on September 19, 1946 in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. There are no coincidences!

God bless!
