For those of you who haven't noticed, I was incorrect in my prediction of May 14, 2009 for the Miracle. I will, for those interested, give what will be my last prediction for this event. If it doesn't happen, it will be the last you hear from me until 2012. I wanted to give loyal newsletter subscribers one last 'heads up'.

The Easter season in 2010 is very interesting in regards to being very amenable to being the Warning and Miracle time.

1. It fits the Garabandal 'season' for the Miracle.

2. It aligns (rare) both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox calendars for Easter. This is important, as my idea of the Warning needing to happen when bread and wine are not being consecrated can only happen on a year that Holy Saturday of the two liturgical calendars are the same date. Not lining up had been a concern of mine when predicting 2009.

3. Good Friday April 2, 2010 will be the fifth anniverasry of the death of John Paul II. During the April 2-3 time frame the Warning should occur. My best guess would be on April 3 at 11:11 AM Jerusalem time. No consecration of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ will be going on anywhere in the world at that time. Thus, the Warning can occur.

4. Forty days later, it will be Ascension Thursday, May 13, 2010.

5. That date will also be the 93rd anniversary of the first Fatima apparition and the 28th anniversary of the attempted assasination of John Paul II. There is an excellent chance (with both rumors and canonization process to back it up) that JP II will be beatified at that time. Thus, the clue of a rare church eccleastical event taking place coincident with the time of the Miracle.

6. It will be Blessed Imelda day. She fufills the clue of a young martyr for the Eucharist's feast happening on Miracle day.

7. One can imagine our current grave circumstances coming to fruition such as the the ongoing economic crisis, cloning, geo-politics, global terrorism and global warming to name a few. The clue of the Warning and Miracle coming when events in the world are bad will thus be shown.

I can't take credit for this basic prediction scheme. It closely resembles Ron Conte's prediction at catholicplanet.com. He correctly predicted the current Pope taking the name of Benedict.

May God continue to bless you during these trying times.
