Heralds of the Second Coming: Our Lady, the Divine Mercy, and the Popes of the Marian Era from Blessed Pius IX to Benedict XVI
"Stephen Walford'sHeralds of the Second Comingwill be a beacon of light to many, exhorting all to watch and pray that those who will go through the 'great tribulation' may persevere with courage."--Cardinal Ivan Dias, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples; Cardinal Member, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"Stephen Walford's new book achieves the very important goal of rendering modern apocalyptic discourse accessible to faithful Catholics of our time; a work of faith and scholarship."--Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson, Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine"InHeralds of the Second Coming, Stephen Walford presents compelling evidence through papal statements and saintly witnesses that Heaven is seeking to prepare us for the coming of Jesus and is desperately trying to get our attention before it is too late!"--Fr. Donald Calloway, M.I.C., S.T.L.; author ofNo Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy"Stephen Walford roots his study in a careful reading of the texts of the popes of 'the Marian era' and reads the many apparitions of the Blessed Virgin over the last century and a half as an urgent summons to humanity to welcome the Gospel of God's undying and merciful love. I warmly recommend it."--Rev. Professor Thomas J. Norris, Member, International Theological Commission"This book provides a careful, sensitive, and responsible treatment of the seldom noticed eschatological themes in recent papal writings. A greater sensitivity to the 'signs of the times' will be just one of its good fruits. Much food for thought."--Ralph Martin, S.T.D.; author ofThe Fulfillment of All DesireandWill Many be Saved?
