The idea of a “Great Awakening” or a religious revival has been a recurring theme in Anglo-Saxon evangelical Protestantism, reminiscent of the historical first Great Awakening in the 18th century. This revival signifies a resurgence of religious fervor resulting from mass conversions to Christianity, often referred to as being “born again” through anointed preaching.
Could a similar religious revival be occurring within Catholic Christianity in certain communities? This revival may be spurred by a renewed focus on the Gospel, a more personal encounter with Jesus Christ, a deep connection to the Holy Spirit, and a growing interest in prophetic knowledge from the Scriptures.
Today, Christianity contends with a new “secular religion” that elevates reason above faith, detaching humanity from its Creator and promoting materialistic or pantheistic worldviews that lack the spiritual depth and transcendence sought by the human soul.
Amidst this backdrop, some Catholic circles show a keen interest in a prophesied event known as the “Great Warning,” a call from God to humanity during these pivotal times in salvation history.
This spiritual awakening entails a sudden illumination of conscience for individuals and humanity as a whole, offering a clear revelation of God’s existence and providing an opportunity for personal and global moral realignment with the Creator’s loving will.
The “Great Warning” can be viewed as a supernatural outpouring of the Holy Spirit, preparing Christians for forthcoming trials that aim to purify humanity and restore creation, akin to a “Second Pentecost.”
As the prophet Amos stated, God reveals His secrets to His prophets, and similarly, contemporary prophets have been sending warnings to humanity, urging personal conversion and a return to God.
Following the “Great Warning,” God is expected to manifest His infinite Justice and Mercy, reminiscent of the First Pentecost, offering humanity a sign in the heavens that heralds His impending return as the King of Mercy.
Expanding on the concept of the “Great Warning,” the apparitions of Garabandal hold significant importance, pending approval by the Catholic Church. Here, the Blessed Virgin revealed profound insights about the impending global event, promising a purification preceding a miraculous intervention to save souls.
It is envisioned that the personal nature of the “Great Warning” will prompt individuals to confront their sins and their consequences, leading to a profound self-examination and a spiritual awakening akin to a deathbed reckoning with God’s grace.
In a world increasingly detached from spiritual truths, the “Great Warning” could serve as a wake-up call for humanity, challenging the prevailing deification of man through ideologies that defy the natural order.
It is evident that a spiritual revival is on the horizon, offering hope amidst a world in need of divine guidance. As we navigate these transformative times, may we embrace the dawning of a new spiritual awakening with optimism and faith. NESSUN DORMA!
