Lightning Strike - Our Lady is displeased

[Kate Jackson]

I though that this gentleman's letter was interesting from the Tradition in Action website:

Here is a "bullet point" article for you on Islam, Our Lady, lightning strikes, and the last two popes.

1. The town of Fatima is named after a young woman who about a millennium ago converted from Islam to Catholicism in order to marry a Catholic knight.
2. The town of Lourdes is named after a Moorish Muslim warrior who, not wishing to surrender to Charlemagne, instead surrendered to Our Lady, and who converted.
3. Our Lady's rosary defeated Islam at the Battle of Lepanto.
4. A lightning strike upon St. Peter's in the Vatican on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes coincided with Benedict XVI's resignation, which paved the way for Pope Francis.
5. A lightning strike occurred again upon St. Peter's, this past Friday, October 7, on the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, which celebrates the victory at Lepanto over Islam.

Speculative conclusions:

1. Through His Mother, Our Lord wishes to convert Islam and not dialogue with it or suggest that somehow Muslims can be saved in their error.
2. Only by recourse to Our Lady will Islam be defeated.
3. Our Lord is reminding the last two popes, and especially Francis, that the struggle with Islam is approaching a critical stage.

One more thought: The revealed Third Secret of Fatima states that the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Why mention the firing of arrows? Who uses them in combat anymore? Genesis 21:20 describes Ishmael, the son of Abraham and the father of the Arabic people, and thus Islam, as being an archer. Are we being told that a Holy Father and countless religious will be slaughtered by Muslims?
