May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way. (Ephesians 1:17-23)

Billy Grahamâs friend and pastor reflected on his yearslong friendship with the famed evangelist â and shared the lessons and values he believes the Church can glean from the life and ministry of a man he said mirrored the âvery heartbeat of God.âÂ
âMr. Graham s heartbeat and passion and reflection of the very face of God showed deeply, penetrated my own heart and life,â Don Wilton recalled in an interview with The Christian Post. âI ve never been around a man personally like that, who so deeply and genuinely and consistently reflected the face of God s grace. As a pastor myself, one can only imagine the enormous depth of the blessing that God conferred on me every time I was with him every week.â

For over a year, the whole world has been held hostage by an elite that, under the pretext of the pandemic, intends to create the conditions for the Great Reset and the establishment of the New World Order. This latest revolution, planned by the enemies of God and the human race, is certainly an infernal work, and as such it must be combated by recourse to the spiritual weapons of prayer, fasting, and penance. I exhort faithful Catholics to recite the Holy Rosary daily during this month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, adding this supplication. May the Mediatrix of All Graces, the Queen of Victories, assist us with her patronage in these moments of apostasy and grant us the virtue of Fortitude to resist evil and obtain the conversion of sinners.
