These Last Days News - August 30, 2011

Are You Dying?  Plan Ahead: Priests Scarce for Last Rites...

"My child, We watch and see the houses of My Son crumbling, being destroyed throughout your world. Doors are closing, convents are emptying, and the dedicated are leaving and falling into all manner of sin and abominations. Who shall be in the remnant? Only a few will be saved." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 26, 1976

USA Today reported on April 5, 2011:

In days long gone, Roman Catholic priests regularly made deathbed house calls, even in the middle of the night with little notice, to pray over the dying and anoint them with holy oils.

The candlelight ritual, popularly known as last rites, continues in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice houses and private homes. But it happens less frequently because priests — the only ones who can perform the service — are in short supply.

Although fewer Catholics are seeking what's officially known as the sacrament of anointing of the sick, those who do want it could be at risk of reaching their final hours without the prayer-whispering presence of a Roman-collared priest unless they plan ahead.

"We recommend that whenever you're ill, ask for that sacrament," said retired Cleveland Bishop Anthony Pilla. "So many times people don't want to be anointed because they think that might mean they're going to die.

"But it's not just a sacrament for the dying," he said. "It's for the sick and the recovering."

Pilla said he even recommends the sacrament to expectant mothers, people facing surgery and the elderly. "Ask for the sacrament and trust in God's healing graces," he said.

Frank Fedor, 88, a cancer patient at Hospice House in Cleveland, recently received last rites.

"It's a sacrament that's very important to our Catholic faith," said his daughter, Cheryl Kimmel. "It gives our family a sense of peace."

But for many Catholics today, last rites is an afterthought. In the old days, it was common for a Catholic family to own a last rites kit, which included a crucifix, candles and holy oils.

"It's not such an intense practice as it was," said Pilla, adding, "Institutional religion isn't as valued as it was in other times."

Despite the priest shortage, many hospitals are staffed with at least one full-time priest making daily rounds and a priest on call at night. Hospice organizations also have priests on call.

In many places around the country, "Hospitals have established good links with local parishes," said David Lichter, director of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains, based in Milwaukee.

Lichter said Catholics living in urban areas who want the sacrament have an easier time finding priests. In rural areas, he said, it can be more difficult.

The Rev. Bob McGeeney, a Lutheran minister who heads the chaplain program at Cleveland's St. Vincent Charity Hospital, said the hospital staff asks people who are being admitted whether they want to see a priest.

"A lot of people say, 'Oh, yeah. I didn't think of that.'"

McGeeney said St. Vincent has two priests who are either at the hospital or on call around the clock.

"With the priest shortage, the diocese is trying very hard," he said. "They don't always succeed. But I know they're trying."

The Rev. Brian Bagley-Bonner, a United Church of Christ minister who coordinates spiritual care for the Hospice of the Western Reserve, recalled an incident a few years ago when he urgently needed a Catholic priest for a dying patient in a nursing home.

It was on a weekend when priests throughout the diocese were out of town on a retreat. After calling multiple parishes with no luck, Bagley-Bonner called the diocese's Center for Pastoral Leadership at Borromeo Seminary.

"The center called back within an hour and said, 'Bishop Pilla will be out to anoint the patient.'

"The nursing home staff was all atwitter, saying, 'We've got to clean up. The bishop is coming.' And the family was so pleased that someone of his stature was giving the sacrament."

Bagley-Bonner acknowledged there are times when a patient wanting a priest slips away before one can be found.

"It certainly can be a challenge," he said. "Sometimes it becomes a couple-days process. People need to be aware that the anointing of the sick can be done anytime.

"Try to anticipate. Look at your last days instead of your last hour."

The Rev. Harry Werner, a Lutheran minister who has been the director of pastoral care at University Hospitals for 30 years, added:

"They're now more generous with giving the last rites. There's a change in thinking. It's not like in the Bing Crosby movies where you waited until the last minute."

"The great Council, the Council that has brought forth discord, disunity, and the loss of souls, the major fact behind this destruction was because of the lack of prayer.  Satan sat in within this Council, and he watched his advantage." - St. Michael, March 18, 1976

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm  
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

A GREAT VOID
"The numbers of those in the service of thy Father is growing smaller. Pray for the vocations that are sorely needed. A great void is being created by the loss of vocations, for the little ones are left to wander.
     "My poor children, you desire so much in material things and so little in the spiritual! We look down upon so many homes that are becoming the reason for the destruction of children's souls. The memory of the truth of My Son's existence must be kept in the homes." - Our Lady, December 24, 1970

WORLDLY
"Women with vocations, you have become worldly! You have chosen of your free will to degrade your bodies and your habit. Whatever shall become of you, foolish maidens of the world? Return while there is time! Purify your bodies through suffering. Place upon your bodies garments of holiness--down to the floor! You shall not set yourselves to tempt your pastors! Satan has set a delusion among you. You have become maidens of sin.” - Our Lady, September 6, 1975

FIRM DEDICATION
"My children, see My habit given by the Eternal Father. Children of God, in vocations to the sisterhood, whatever shall become of you? You have become foolish maidens without modesty and piety. You run with your heads high in the air in clouds of darkness. You remove your habit and take on the raiment of the world. O My children, you are defaming your vocation!
     "Sisters, do you not understand why you were given a long habit to wear? It was a sign to the world of your dedication. You were to become brides of Christ, My children. And what have you given to the world, but a poor example of worldliness without dedication. You have become of the world; you have proceeded onto the wide road.
     "Sisters in vocations, turn back! Do not become maidens of the world, foolish maidens, but return and be brides of Christ, brides who have been given the key to the Eternal Kingdom of your God.
     "My sisters, without this firm dedication and example of piety and holiness, you cannot induce or lead others into your vocation. The convents are slowly closing. And why, My children? Because there are too few who try to find the real reason. They have succumbed to the lures of the world.” - Our Lady, July 15, 1977

DRIVING AWAY VOCATIONS
"My child and My children, I come once more with an urgent and pleading message to the hierarchy in the Church, My Church upon earth. I want you to know now that We look upon you and find many that do not fall into grace. They are falling out of grace and misleading many of Our sheep.
     "Therefore, I warn you now as your God: You will stop your intricacies within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow many years ago, two thousand years approximately. And why now, two thousand years later, do you deem it necessary to change My Church upon earth? I, your God, say to you, you will be judged accordingly. You will return My Church to its former glory, and in that manner you will have more vocations and more entering the seminaries, and not fleeing from them as they hear the heresies and all other innovations that are going on within My Church. This is My last and final word to My clergy: Change now or suffer a just punishment and banishment.” - Jesus, June 18, 1986

CHANGES
"My children, you must hasten to tell the good sisters that they must not join the world. They are losing vocations because of their changes. They must restore their habit worn to the ground. It was an example of great strength and piety for others and brought many vocations to the convents. Have you not realized the fruits of your endeavors to become modern? Good sisters, return and restore the convents." - Our Lady, April 1, 1978

HOLY PRIESTS NEEDED
"There will be many manifestations given to those who have taken over the role as disciples of the latter days for My Son. The people must now save My Son's Church. This battle upon earth has been given now to the people, and through the people shall you bring back My Son's Church to its former position of holiness, piety, and numerous entrances into the vocations. Many holy priests are needed.” - Our Lady, August 19, 1978

MODESTY AND DISCIPLINE
"My sister, Veronica, you must continue. And please counsel my sisters in vocations that they have fallen asleep. They must remove the blindness from their hearts. They have been misled! Modesty and discipline must be a rule of habit." - St. Theresa, October 1, 1977

SHORTAGE OF TEACHING NUNS
"My child, I have tied the knot, the belt, to represent the carrying of My beads of prayer on the dress of the dedicated. The vocations have fallen, My child. Our young children, their souls are darkening daily because there is a shortage, a severe shortage, My child, of teaching nuns. Whatever shall become of the young souls for Heaven? The Eternal Father has a plan to remove many young souls before the corruptive forces will come upon them.” - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

CHASTISEMENT
"The sin of pride and the arrogance of many in My House, Church, have set a pattern of soul-destruction among the young. I have asked that all who have been given the glory from the Eternal Father to follow My road as pastors, shepherds of Our sheep--there is much lacking in their direction. I do not have to give a listing by name; the plan of the Eternal Father shall reach those who permit and commit evil in their vocations.
     "We ask that all remain steadfast in their missions. We ask that all do not leave now, but remain and await the Warning that will soon be given to mankind. We do not wish a separation or a division among Our sheep. You shall not compromise your Faith. You shall not be misled into error in the name of humanism and modernization.
     "Heresy abounds in My House. All manners of aberration and impurities are being tolerated by My pastors. I say unto you that you must now clean your House! No man who has been chosen from among the multitudes to be a representative from Heaven shall use his rank, his vocation to gain worldly treasures and fall into the pattern of worldly living to the sorrow of those souls entrusted to him. You must awaken now from your slumber. I repeat: cleanse My House now, or I shall set a Chastisement upon you!” - Jesus, March 18, 1976

    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds.
