A month or so ago a friend asked me if I could locate a website where he could order a nice big picture of an aborted baby. (Actually, there is no such thing as a nice picture of an aborted baby, but you know what I mean.) He believed that nothing brings home the truth like a picture – whether you’re talking holocaust, auto accident, lynching, starvation – or abortion. He is right, of course. Abortion is so hidden (you’ve seen every other kind of medical procedure but you’ve never seen an abortion on TV, have you?), so secret (your friends have had abortions you don’t know about), so misrepresented (it’s not a baby, it’s a blob, it’s a woman’s right), so ORDINARY, that you NEED a picture to bring the reality home.
I was surprised when my very own daughter, a registered nurse, looked at a photo of an aborted baby and said, “They can’t do THIS, can they?” She, and most people, didn’t know late term abortions are quite legal and, in fact, killer Tiller (who I have written about before) had an abortion facility in Wichita KA that has been targeted for years by pro-lifers because late term abortions were his “specialty.” Most doctors (and their staffs), have qualms about killing a living baby in the womb when it could obviously live outside the womb – when it looks like what it is – one of us – a BABY. I have posted previously a video by nurse Jill Stanek who tells of holding a second trimester aborted baby left to die until it, in fact, actually died.
Well, as I said, my friend wanted a big picture of an aborted baby and asked if I could find someplace online where he could order one. Surprisingly, I didn’t have much luck. The photos were there but few were offered for sale. Just about that time (our God is a God of coincidences) someone gave me some postcard-sized pictures of aborted baby pictures. (I am including three of them, both sides, in this post.) They had been published in Ireland so I put a $20 bill in an envelope and sent it to Sacred Heart House of Prayer, 46 James Street, Cookstown Co., Tyrone, Northern Ireland, BT80 8LT, asking what they had available for sale. I didn’t want to go to the trouble of sending proper Irish money and have always had good luck with pro-life organizations behaving honorably. And if nothing came of it, a worthy cause would have a donation.
In due time a package arrived from Ireland, poorly wrapped, but filled with literally hundreds of aborted baby pictures and literature describing the work of The Two Patricks. It seems that two Irishmen, Patrick O’Kane and Patrick Rushe, met and felt led to minister together. They reputedly regularly receive messages from Jesus, such as this, explaining why they are “The Two Patricks.”
The Ways of Jesus Christ are not our ways. He has told us in many teachings that He, Himself, has brought us together in this mission at different times in our development towards Him, so that we could learn from each other, as well as from Him.
He has described us as two halves of a jewel. It is only when we are one that His Light can shine through us – for anything we do is done in Jesus, for Jesus, and through Jesus.
Their latest messages from Jesus, whose return they say is imminent, are posted on their site. Some of them have also been put on YouTube and can be seen here. The two Patricks have opened a number of houses of prayer in Ireland and Europe. They have a strong pro-life ministry and publish pro-life literature.
All seemed orthodox until I read among their messages the following, dated April 2005:
Soon now your Holy Father will be replaced with one who is not of Me. And he will change much, he will begin the destruction of My Church in earnest. Are you ready to fight for the Truth? Many will fall in this time. Pray, children, that you are not one of them.
John Paul II died on April 2, 2005. Benedict XVI was installed as Pope on April 24, 2005.
A further prophecy of The Two Patricks, now online, reads:
Thursday 14 January 2009
Patrick:
Jesus, I hear that Cardinal Ratzinger is going to try and silence Your Messengers, Prophets, Seers and Visionaries.
Jesus:
My sons and My children, do not be afraid for I have already told you the Truth. He will try to discredit all My Messengers but I will continue to speak for My Army cannot be silenced. I have told within My Scriptures that I do nothing before revealing it to My Prophets, so why would I inspire My Church to silence My Words? I have told you that these men that are not of Me would try to destroy My Word and so this is only another part of their deceit. They have already tried to change My Scriptures into words that are not Mine. They are like the scribes and Pharisees that tried to silence Me by having Me Crucified. They are blasphemers and deceivers and I say do not listen to their lies for their father is the father of lies. They will excommunicate you but know they only seal their own fate for what they have done to Me. I Love you, read My Word 1 and understand what I say. I, your Jesus, Love you.
I don’t know what to make of this. I have liked Benedict XVI and this message is not recognizing him as pope. Perhaps someone with more discernment than I have would like to weigh in on this?
~~~
~~~ Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. — Amos 3:7
Technically, the words that are “from God” do not imply that Benedict XVI is not a valid pope; it’s more like they are saying that he is an evil or corrupt pope.
However, I would put no faith in this prophecy whatsoever. I don’t know why these Patricks think that Pope Benedict is going to silence God’s prophets… he certainly hasn’t been making any moves in that direction, that I’ve seen. Instead, what I’ve seen is him calling Muslims to appreciate the role of reason in life and urging cooperation between Christians and Muslims in causes where we can agree (like the pro-life cause); he’s called Israel and Palestine to peace; he’s met with the victims of clerical sex abuse; he’s called the developed countries to give more aid to those who need it; he gave Obama a copy of Dignitatis Personae, a clear pro-life call; he has written a number of things, some of which have given me some real insights into Christian issues. I see no “destruction of the Church in earnest”; I see a faithful servant of God leading the Church as best he can. He may not make every decision correctly, but I think on the whole, he’s been doing quite a good job, and there is no basis at all for saying he is not of God, or calling him a deceiver or blasphemer.

Please good catholic people DO NOT listen to or have anything to do with “the to patricks”
years ago when i came back to my faith I heard about them and got involed in there house of prayer in wembley london, they were convincing speakers to listen to and i was taken in by them but little buy little i realised that what they was saying that jesus had told them in places was doctrinally incorrect there are to many to mention but one is that jesus said to them “I and the holy spirit are the same person” If you carefully read your catisism you will find many errors in what jesus Apparently told them. They also made a false prophecy that pope John Paul II would go into hiding and then retake the position of pope after the false pope(Pope Benedict acording to them) was put to flight. In one message supposidly from jesus, jesus mentions the soap opera “Eastenders” and how watching “eastenders will not give you eternal life” All the two patricks have caused is division among catholics. In a nutshell pope Benedict XVI is a validly elected and faithfull pope, the two patricks on the other hand are false prophets and are not to be trusted.

I personally know the two patricks, and in my opinion, those that do not believe in there messages are those who cannot handle the truth, eg they speak out about the sin of living together and homosexuality to name just a couple and there prophecy about the pope is in the book of revelations. I have been going on a regular basis to the house of prayer for 14 years an have never known the to mention a message about Eastenders, but is Eastenders really good for catholic to be watching? it is FULL of immorality, Adultery, Abortion, Homosexuality it give out the empression that no-one in life keeps and unplanned baby and no-one ever stays faithful or married and it never shows the true after affects of abortion.
and as far as the message about the pope goes they also said that Jesus said if u dont believe it WAIT AND SEE. Well im seen a few things that dont impress me with pope benedict, for one the line in his book can clearly be mis-interpretated that the catholic church allows contraception in 3rd world countries. and the what they said about the prophets being silenced is turning out to be right many prophets have stopped speaking out about the thing people dont want to hear, I also no priest’s personally that have been told to not speak out about Abortion as it may offend,

i would like to reply to the comment about the two patrick i have been going to house of prayer for 15 years i have found to patrick’s tell it as it is they talk about heaven and hill and purgotory this is something you do not hear at mass any longer they talk about your wrongdoing is and feelings whenever i tell you what is mortal sin such as living together out to stayside marriage and homosexuality abortion these are all mortal sins but when was the last time you hear a priest is at mass talking about these things they don’t young ones going to mass do not get taught the way we did so somebody has to tell them the truth and the patrick’s do just that as far as the only spirit is concerned where we not told they were three persons in one god. is what the patrick’s r telling us ANY different? . but i find great peace in the house of prayer. if you read your babel you will find that most of the things the part it is a telling you is that in the babel the problem as people want to pick and choose what they want to believe that god Father patrick and people like youth 2000 they have priest’s who tel young people exactly hope is and hold nothing back and we have thousands of people who go to their retreats so we really do need people like this. it should be enough in answer to

I didn’t know. I have a friend who gets abortions reguarly, she acts as if it is not different than going for a shot. I was prochoice, I would never do it, but for others… it is their body. But, those picyures are something that I will never forget.

Ir’a not her body, it’s her child’s body. It may even be a different sex. Someone is being killed. We will never know what (or who) might have been.

I have been reading much of what the Two Patricks have to say and I have to say that I find their message to be deeply disturbing. Not disturbing in the way they hope but I find it a distortion of the true message of the loving face of God as revealed to us in the love and life of Jesus. Their wedsite is called ‘an invitation to love’ but frankly I find little of the love of God there – only fear. Jesus never forced anyone to love God so I don’t think He will start now. He invited people to love God. I cannot love someone that I am in terror of. That is not love. To frighten or terrorise anyone into loving God is false and pointless. I find the theology, the spirituality and misinterpretation of Scripture by The Two Patricks deeply disturbing, deeply unhealthy and not in line with the Gospels.

We must love now, it`s no good turning to Jesus through the fear that events will bring in the future. That`s why these messages are given, not to cause fear, but to bring us back to His ways before the worst things come.
