Now Is The Time Of Mercy

“Now is the time of Mercy.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with the Lord.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with our family.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with everybody.”

“Not Tomorrow.”

“Because Tomorrow never comes.
When Tomorrow comes that is today.
So why wait for Tomorrow.
You have to be ready now.”

(Loving Message of Jesus Christ through Stanley Villavicencio)

Bro. Stanley is giving testimonies of his encounter with Jesus Christ since 1993. His testimonies are sanctioned by the Catholic Church and you need to hear him speak to really be touched by the message of love of the Lord. What really caught my attention and curiosity is that in one of his encounters with Jesus, he said that Jesus told him that he will see His Second Coming in his lifetime. Could it be a coincidence that New York Times just published an article about the The Final Days and talks about the mayan prophecy of December 21, 2012 as the end of the Earth cycle:

“We’re coming to an end time beyond anything that anybody has ever imagined,” Rod said with a trembling urgency. “The scientists right now, they’re not even studying the real causes. The Kyoto treaty and CO2 have nothing to do with anything.”

“Coast to Coast AM” is an overnight radio show devoted to what its weekday host, George Noory, calls “the unusual mysteries of the world and the universe.” Broadcast out of Sherman Oaks, Calif., and carried nationwide on more than 500 stations as well as the XM Radio satellite network, “Coast to Coast AM” is by far the highest-rated radio program in the country once the lights go out. The guest in the wee hours that February morning was Lawrence E. Joseph, the author of “Apocalypse 2012” — billed as “a scientific investigation into civilization’s end” — and he came on the air to tell the story of how the ancient Maya looked into the stars and predicted catastrophic changes to the earth, all pegged to the end date of an historical cycle on one of their calendars, Dec. 21, 2012.

“My motto tonight,” Noory intoned at the beginning of the program, “is be prepared, not scared.” What followed was a graphic recitation of disaster scenarios for 2012, including hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by solar storms, cracks forming in the earth’s magnetic field and mass extinctions brought on by nuclear winter. The only hopeful note of the night was struck when an unnamed caller asked Joseph what he thought about recent Virgin Mary apparitions in Bosnia.

This coming Sunday at 8pm in DZMM 630kHz, Inner Mind on Radio Jaime Lichauco continues to discuss this Mayan Prophecy (if you are interested). Going back to Stanley, the Lord said that His Second Coming will be preceded by a period of Great Mercy where everyone will be given a chance to receive His Mercy for those who embraced it. Jesus Mercy is Free and anyone can receive it as long as you are alive. It is clear and simple. When you are dead, Justice takes over and you will pay for your sins. You have to read all the related posts below so that you can fully understand where I’m coming from.

Stanley said that Salvation is for everyone despite whatever religion you are coming from. He compared the Roman Catholic Church as like an express lane in the supermarket where it is a shorter distance to heaven. The main reason for this is that we believe in Plenary Indulgence where the punishment for all forgiven sins are erased forever. This only happens during the feast day of the divine mercy which is the Sunday after Easter Sunday. All you need to do is repent and confess your sins, and receive the Holy Communion to avail of the Plenary Indulgence on the feast day of the Divine Mercy. (see Falling In Love with His Divine Mercy by Suzette Kho).

Bro. Stanley gave a talk about his near death destimony in his Cebu accent but he was able to clearly deliver the message of love of Jesus Christ. This is Bro. Stanley’s last talk in Manila and he will be coming back in November. For those who missed Bro. Stanley’s Testimony, you can read his story here: Stanley Villavicencio’s Near Death Testimony. I also took some notes from the Q&A so that I can share with you some practical tips you can immediately apply in your daily life.

• You cannot appreciate my mercy until you experience the misery of sin.
• Jesus looks for people who ask forgiveness, repent their sin, and live a new and better life.
• He who saves a soul saves his own.
• Pray as if it was your last prayer.
• Salvation is a free gift from God. Religion will only guide us to salvation.
• Plenary Indulgence is total erasure of punishment of all forgiven sins. This happens on the feast of the divine mercy which is the Sunday after Easter Sunday.
• We can pray for ourselves, other people, and for souls who are in purgatory.
• No prayer is wasted.
• Purgatory is a cleansing area which is part of heaven.
• When we offer a thanks giving mass, offer it to 1 to 2 persons specifically (name).
• Mercy is only available when we are alive.
• You cannot ask for forgiveness for sins not committed.
• Miracles happen because of our Christian Faith

After the talk, there was a Veneration of the Divine Mercy and Mama Mary’s Lady of Guadalupe image where everyone will have a chance to pray in honor of the Divine Mercy. There have been stories of Jesus coming out of the photograph or Mama Mary is opening up her beautiful blue eyes. In the end, in a private interview with Bro. Stanley, I ask him what is the Message of Jesus Christ to all of us. He said these beautiful message of love:

“Now is the time of Mercy.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with the Lord.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with our family.
Now is the time for us to reconcile with everybody.”

“Not Tomorrow.”

“Because Tomorrow never comes.
When Tomorrow comes that is today.
So why wait for Tomorrow.
You have to be ready now.”

Amen. Do you believe?

As Jesus said, He who saves one soul saves his own. I actually risk sounding like a chain letter blog post where I end this message with please forward this message to all your friends and family so that they can be saved. It is up to you. I’m here to spread this message of Love that touched my heart so that somehow, in my own little way, you can be touched as well.
