Mensajes Secretos y Profecias escondidas de la Santisima Virgen MariaDesde 1986 al presente, el Vaticano ha mantenido el mismo mensaje traído desde el Cielo por diferentes mensajeros a través de largas distancias y continentes. Este mensaje es un eco de las graves amonestaciones y llamadas a la humanidad para que se conviertan y encuentren refugio a través del lenguaje de la verdad , el cual amenaza a la paz en el mundo.Actualmente, en el 2024, el mensaje de La Virgen de la Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fátima, Garabandal, Akita y Medjugorje, y sus secretos, revelan un significado de divina importancia, al igual que las prevenciones entregadas por la santísima Virgen Maria que advierte sobre un catastrófico desastre global que ahora es inminente. El temor de la iglesia al asustar a las masas, la falta de acción y la decisión del silencio romano - fundado más en miedo que en cuidado - ha llevado a millones creyentes a la oscura ignorancia, y esto ha conllevado a la falta de conversión, oraciones, y intersección por la paz.Este libro es una propuesta para relevar la luz, y cuestionar a la humanidad para reaccionar a la llamada de advertencia de nuestra amada madre quien compasivamente busca la salvación de sus hijos.

This book offers a faithful English translation of An-Nazarat ('The Reflections') by Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti, a distinguished essayist from the era of the Nahda, or the Modern Arabic Literary Renaissance in Egypt. Al-Manfaluti's magnum opus, first published in 1910, is a rich collection of short stories, essays, and a few adapted translations, originally featured in Egypt's al-Mu'ayyad newspaper.With a sharp, reflective eye, al-Manfaluti captures the vibrant tapestry of life, inviting readers to explore the intricate interplay of cultural identity and the dynamic evolution of society. His works, which John A. Haywood describes as spanning the 'whole gamut of current ethical and social problems,' offer a glimpse into the early 20th-century Egyptian zeitgeist, touching on themes of political nationalism, pan-Islamic aspirations, and religious reform.Al-Manfaluti's unique, almost highbrow style, with its distinct lustre, sets his writings apart. Abdul-Sattar Jawad compares him to the Romantic essayist Lamb, noting al-Manfaluti's use of personal reminiscences, stories, interest in the natural past, and prose poems, often reinforced with verse quotations.Hailed as a genius in the art of literary composition and prose-writing, and a leader in pure stylistic diction, al-Manfaluti's An-Nazarat remains a seminal work for those interested in the Middle East and the Nahda period, a melting pot of social and literary significance.

Attacks that would effectively destroy all three countries.When the cartels realize that they, too will be destroyed by the Jihadist offensive, they renege on the partnership they had forged with the Muslims and eventually join forces with Brady's small group.

If I knew how to draw a picture of how I feel, I would pick up a pencil and paper and begin sketching.If I were capable of sculpting a solid figure of my thoughts, I would grab a hammer, some stone or granite, and start chiseling away.If I could choreograph a dance or even a fight explaining what I want to say, I would rise, do some warmup exercises, and start moving.Since I am able do none of these things, but I can write in a way that happens to have a rhyme and rhythm to it, that's exactly what I do.This is to place into the world the love, despair, and everything in between that would otherwise stay hidden inside, where it would do very little good. I believe everyone can find such an outlet, a medium or forum that allows us to feel freedom.
