In this terrible dark night, for the New Year 2019 the work program has been dictated to the Island of Patmos from the Blessed Apostle Peter: “Your enemy, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that your brothers around the world suffer the same sufferings as you "

Thank you dear Father Ariel. May the Lord bless you and protect. Silvia
Great article, father ariel!
To his friend John I would like to say something about the persecution, obviously without detracting from the specification that has already done p. Ariel. She does not see the 'steps', but know that the world hates the Church and its affairs with unimaginable hatred, despite the fact that many of the members auditioned to like with enormous efforts. Try to read the comments on the Church in the various online newspapers like the Done: They would realize that if they could get their hands on the Church and its members would do it in pieces. Just do not do it, in my opinion, still superstitious fear, exactly the same fear they had of Jesus. But when, like Judas Iscariot, some of the corrupt was talking about p. Ariel, will kick off, that fear will disappear and what Jesus said was the persecution that was unprecedented.
Thank you Father Ariel.
Today's article is prophetic.
In particular I was impressed by the final part:
"Maybe soon we will make the end they did many Jews during the Second World War. And we will do different but similar end for the devilish work of those ecclesiastical Goebbels and complacent laymen who are now attached as polyps of the Chair of Peter, just like narrates the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel of the Supreme Pontiff Leo XIII╗.
I feel inside me that may be plausible that ends in persecuzione.Non I see, however, steps that can lead to what.
Forgive me if I have seemed in this case a curious…
In your opinion, how can you switch from the current environment to that of religious persecution for those who remain faithful to the doctrine?
Dear John,
first of all we, when we speak of persecution, as well as when we speak of martyrdom, always think – after all rightly – the martyrdom of blood, or the persecution of Christians more or less hidden in the catacombs.
I think we need to enter the order of ideas that future persecution and possibly imminent or perhaps already begun will be other, for instance: indifference to those who announce the true evangelical doctrine, the resulting ostracism or reduction to silence and the state tax impotence; the de facto exclusion from the community without any possibility they could neither defend nor an explanation about the reasons and so to follow… All of these, are not perhaps the worst forms of persecution, especially when it is no longer persecuted for the Church but inside the Church?
Reduce then the faithful devotees or authentic men of God, in such a state for their entire lives, It is perhaps no worse than a bloody martyrdom that is solved with a stroke of a firearm or a run that lasts only a few seconds?
In short, I believe that we will face persecution and martyrdom worse, than we were used, because over the centuries, Satan, It has been further refined and deeply.
Thanks to advance, almost alone, a Torch of Faith in the prevailing darkness of everything is permitted…
thank you.
Thank you, because of this vibrant, sorrowful reflection. A provident spiritual parachute, a flame of hope to guide our feet into the dark night, making lighter the load of our cross.
