GREATEST SIN
"The forces of evil loosed upon your world gathered to try to stop the good work from Heaven. My child, it is a lesson for all that vanity and pride comes before the fall. You understand, My children, that man has a free will and is allowed to exercise it. And the greatest sin among man is pride. The angels in Heaven that joined Lucifer, satan, were cast out of Heaven as they became arrogant and sought to be God."
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, June 4, 1977
DIVEST YOURSELF
"In order to reach the Kingdom of the Father, you must divest yourself, remove all pride and worldly searching. You must become as confident, as trusting as a child. Know that all is yours for the asking. Believe and you will be given the way."

The Lesson of Sodom and Gomorrha...
BishopJosephStrickland.Substack.com reported on July 1, 2025:
By Bishop Joseph Strickland
Today’s reading from the Book of Genesis confronts us with one of the most sobering moments in Sacred Scripture: the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha by fire and brimstone raining down from Heaven. The cities were consumed, not simply by natural disaster, but by divine judgment. The cry of sin had reached Heaven—and the Lord answered with justice.
“And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven” (Genesis 19:24).
Lot and his family were warned. They were urged not to linger:
“Arise, and take thy wife, and the two daughters which thou hast: lest thou also perish with the wicked of the city” (Genesis 19:15).
But even as angels urged them, Lot hesitated. The temptation to delay, to look back, to soften the warning—this remains a deadly temptation today.
Our world stands in a similar place. We are drowning in a culture that celebrates impurity, mocks God’s law, and defies the natural order. And yet, we go on as if there will be no reckoning. We brush aside Heaven’s warnings. We hesitate.
The sin of Sodom was not merely about lust. It was about pride, rejection of God’s design, and the complete inversion of truth and goodness. It was the final stage of a people who had forgotten God and made idols of their passions. And let us not deceive ourselves: such sin cries out to Heaven still.
The fire that fell was not only punishment—it was a sign. A sign that God is not mocked. A sign that wickedness has consequences. A sign that Divine Mercy does not eliminate Divine Justice.
“And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt” (Genesis 19:26).
She looked back. She could not let go. How many today, even those in the Church, hesitate to leave behind the ways of the world? How many still turn back toward what God is calling them to flee?
Brothers and sisters, the Gospel is good news—but it is not soft news. The same Lord who came to save us is the One who warned us that the days of Lot would return (cf. Luke 17:28–30). And we are living in them now.
The Lord is patient. The Lord is merciful. But His warnings are not empty. His justice is real. And His call is urgent.
+Joseph
"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell."
- The Bayside Prophecies
St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
