These talks were first presented by Fr. McGrath in his former parish at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in 2020. They were updated this year and were given in our two churches in the Fall of 2021. They speak of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and how she tried to warn us and protect us from the various things we are experiencing even now in our church and in our world.
The freedoms so long cherished in the West are rapidly deteriorating, but these freedoms are an early phase of what is still to unfold. In order to understand our times, we must see the machinations of those who are working "behind the scenes" to move nations and peoples into a plan that will diminish the claims of Christianity and lead to persecution.
In order to understand the way forward in the Church today, we must understand the premises in these talks and see them as emblematic of the grave difficulties we face in order to make decisions about our future as individuals, as parishes, and as the Church universal.
