The following letter was sent to my friends and relatives after the November elections in the USA.

Dear friends,
What can I say? We did our best! I think we received the answer to the question that I sent to you a few days ago. “Do most Americans want GOD to BUTT OUT?” (http://god-politics.blogspot.com/). I think we now see that the answer is a clear, resounding YES! I personally did not realize how many pro-death laws were being voted into existence in this last election. If I had known I might have been overcome with despair. The election of a pro-death president is only one sign and symbol of how our culture has embraced the culture of death. I think the article “What If?” at Mark Mallett's Blog (11/05/08) is rather interesting (http://www.oltiv.org/2008/11/mark-malletts-blog-110508.html).
We prayed and we fasted, and now we can eat like King David after his son died (2Sam 12:20)! Where do we go from here? I know some people who feel that the only thing left to do is to clean out the cobwebs in our old bunkers we made during the Cuban crisis almost 50 years ago and get prepared. But I think we must above all trust God, pray much, love God and our neighbor completely and offer continual sacrifices as Our Lady of Fatima asked us to do in 1917. I think we should also always continue to seek the TRUTH, to live the TRUTH and to fight for the TRUTH even if the greater and greater majority of human beings on the face of the earth are running from the TRUTH, abandoning the TRUTH and fighting against the TRUTH. Jesus said: “I am the way, and the TRUTH, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me” (Jn 14:6)!
I believe, as many many others do also, that we are about to enter the period of which Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13, as well as what the Mother of God was referring to at La Salette, France (1846); Fatima, Portugal (1917); St. Faustina (1925-1938; Diary 635,1732); Akita, Japan (1973 – 1981; http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm); and more recently Margaret of Jesus (1985-???; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/microchipeng.html; these articles and revelations are slowly being translated from the Italian into English). It is interesting that in the past Our Lady has always indicated that by prayer and penance we can still avert the looming chastisement. But very recently in the revelations to Margaret of Jesus, she said the chastisement can no longer be averted and that it will occur “not in the distant future” or after our life time as so many of us want to believe. I prefer to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, even if the truth is often very difficult for me to understand or hard to accept from my own personal point of view.
Few people today understand or want to understand what sin is. Very few Catholics go to confession anymore. If we do not ask for mercy, we will not receive mercy. Without mercy, there is no way to enter heaven for all eternity. I am a big sinner; I go to confession every day. God will leave us to our own designs, which is what most people want today.
I have amused myself in the past many years by studying prophecy in the Bible and in the writings of the Saints. In a few weeks I hope to share with you a summary of my findings (http://markbeast.blogspot.com/). In the mean time may I very briefly indicate to you a little of what I have come up with.
If you know even a little about the history of the world, the powerful have never been satisfied with the power that they have or had acquired. They always wanted more. Many of the super powerful and past dictators of the world even arrived to the point of wanting to be adored as GOD (Heil Hitler!)! I do not think that anything has changed. The superrich and powerful of today who control the banks and the petroleum and so many other things of the world are not satisfied; they have had an incredible amount of patience, many of them never living to see their final goal achieved. They now have their representatives (puppets) in just about all the key positions in the world except one. From my studies I am convinced that the last key position that they need before they make their greatest move in the history of the world is the Papacy of the Catholic Church. In their pride and arrogance, they feel they are the saviors of the world, even though this same pride renders them blind to the fact that they have become the puppets of Satan. Also in their pride, they are dumbfounded and amazed that with all their tremendous efforts they have not yet been able to put their man in as Pope. Obviously they do not believe in God or in the words of Jesus that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Mt 16:18). But I am convinced that now that they have their men in the key positions in the world, they can no longer wait to try to get their man elected Pope and will thus take over the Papacy by cunning and covert violence.
Saint Hildegard, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the eminent, 20th Century scripture scholar, Father E. Sylvester Berry and many others have indicated that this violence will be done by an evil cardinal and he will then proclaim to the world that he is the Pope. According to the prophecies of St. Hildegard, two thirds of the Christians will believe and follow this evil imposter. St. Hildegard wrote that this will happen immediately before the manifestation of the Antichrist, who together with this false pope, who I believe will be the “second beast” of the Apocalypse (ch. 13 etc.), will subdue the world. A very recent private revelation to Margaret of Jesus indicates the same thing; I am slowly translating some of her writings from Italian into English (http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/microchipeng.html). These events are also indicated by the prophecies of St. Malachy regarding the sequence of Popes. The antichrist will be far more ingenious, resourceful and charismatic than the recently elected president of the USA (http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/nov/081103a.html). Thus I do not feel the greatest show on earth will begin until our present Pope Benedict XVI dies or is clandestinely killed.
I think we are living in great times! I pray every day for the incredible gift of martyrdom. Do you know that the martyrs do not spend any time in purgatory which is far more painful than any kind of martyrdom here on earth (http://purgatory-manu.blogspot.com/)? A great many people will be offered the possibility of martyrdom in this period. Alleluia! Will each of us be ready for this great offer and gift?
Keep the faith, until next time,
Fr. Joseph Dwight
P.s. You might find amusing the attached document, with two photos, which a good friend of mine sent to me. It illustrates my sentiments regarding the recent elections as well as what I think the next few years might be like!

Don't look at the 2nd picture before you read about the first.
This was in the Black Canyon of Gunnison, Colorado and the picture was on the front page of the Grand Junction , Colorado newspaper. Many of us today may just feel like the driver of this pick-up truck after the recent elections …
Look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail on the right side of the picture where the people are standing on the road (pointing).
The pick-up was travelling from the right to the left when it crashed through the guardrail.
It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was travelling. The driver was alright after the accident.
Now look at the 2nd picture below...........................
If this guy didn't believe in God before, do you suppose he believes now?
IF WE BELIEVE, LIVE AND LOVE GOD – WE WIN!!!!
