Episode #67: Why is there so much darkness in today’s world? Is it part of a planned strategy? The answer is yes. In this live presentation recorded on March 14, 2020, Terry Modica shares the story of how she learned this a long time ago from a satanist high priest who converted to Christ. Members of Generational Satanism have been infiltrating places of influence for decades in order to gradually and subtly convince everyone that evil is good and good is evil. Now that their plan has been realized, God is saying, "Enough!"
Near the end of this episode, Terry talks about a painting she made and the message of faith in it. You can see it here:

In times of uncertainty and confusion, Fr. Paul talks about clinging to the Peace of Christ.
Questions Covered:
- 16:46 - What do you suggest for those of us who do not have Mass or Churches to go to? What can we do in our family life to bring the peace of Christ into our homes?
- 22:17 - Jesus is known as the Prince of Peace, but he also says he does not come to bring peace, but the sword. How can we reconcile these two things in our world today?

- 45:23 - If I follow the 10 Commandments and pray the Rosary every day, am I living in the peace of Christ? If I am a Catholic in my heart but I was baptized in another Church, would you hear my confession or give me the Eucharist? I attend Mass but am not Catholic. I want the peace of Christ.
- 49:42 - Where can I look for a spiritual director?

“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”

Episode #66: How well are you handling the lifestyle changes forced upon us by the coronavirus? The COVID-19 virus is a calling to trust God. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can discover the blessings he is bringing from it (according to Romans 8:28). Consider the timing: It’s happening during Lent for a divine reason. God in his great mercy is doing something amazing. This episode reveals what that is.
Terry Modica also shares the story of Saint Roch, who is a Patron Saint for stopping plagues.

Category: Lent, Servant Songs Tag: Bible reading, lent, obedience, prophecy, suffering
The author of the Letter to the Hebrews tells us that “Whom the Lord loves he chastises” (12:6). In the third Servant Song centuries before, Isaiah prophesied that the Lord’s Servant would endure suffering without complaining. By embracing sorrow without losing heart and by accepting discipline as instruction, the Servant would gain a share of the holiness of God.
As a result, the student would become a teacher. Having learned at the feet of the loving and merciful Lord, the Servant now instructs the nations in the ways of obedience and discipleship. But most of all, he models fidelity and long suffering. Remarkably, the Servant’s sufferings have not led him to turn away from God; he neither feels abandoned nor betrayed. Confidently, he stands before those who mock him, knowing their power will wear away like a threadbare garment, while God’s help lasts forever. The proof of discipleship, he says, is walking in darkness without any light, save that of faith in the Lord! Woe to those who walk by their own light, trusting neither the Lord nor his Servant. They do so at great peril, he says, risking utter destruction.
