In honor of all the rapturists:
On a serious note, modern Marian prophecy, approved by the Church, has given us a few things to do that are pretty simple and which many good Catholics are not doing, such as
- Getting to confession monthly
- Frequent (and worthy) reception of Holy Communion
- Praying the Rosary Daily
Here is Pope Benedict last year at Fatima:
We would be mistaken to think that Fatima’s prophetic mission is complete. Here there takes on new life the plan of God which asks humanity from the beginning: “Where is your brother Abel […] Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!” (Gen 4:9). Mankind has succeeded in unleashing a cycle of death and terror, but failed in bringing it to an end… In sacred Scripture we often find that God seeks righteous men and women in order to save the city of man and he does the same here, in Fatima, when Our Lady asks: “Do you want to offer yourselves to God, to endure all the sufferings which he will send you, in an act of reparation for the sins by which he is offended and of supplication for the conversion of sinners?” (Memoirs of Sister Lúcia, I, 162).
Fundamentals, boys and girls, fundamentals.

no matter how hard i try, i cannot understand the sense behind “Rapture”
but this one is clear as diamond!
What man, woman, or child wouldn’t want to be a hero/heroine? The message of Fatima offers us that opportunity. To pray (and offer up) the Most Holy Rosary, and make little sacrifices throughout the day for love of your ‘neighbor’, not only helps save their soul from eternal fires, but it saves your soul as well.
The Holy Virgin is asking us to love thy neighbor. To be a hero/heroine(saint) for all eternity! That’s definitely a sweet proposition!!
