    Would I be considered paranoid if I were to propose that sinister person/persons involved in the occult may be behind the disappearances? I hope for the sake of Dominica that I am wrong.

    What is needed are more prayers.
    Watch out for those who are involved in obeah, witchcraft and the likes. These are displeasing to God. Those who practice them forfeit Heaven.
    Catholics you know these prayers. Pray them for this purpose: The Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be To The Father and Memorare.
    There is nothing wrong in teaching others to pray Catholic prayers they do not know. We are all God’s and the Blessed Virgin Mary’s children. God does not discriminate. He wants everyone to learn those prayers. Who knows? As He ordained, they may be prerequisites for entering Heaven. :lol:

    Isaiah 40:31 – They that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength. They will soar as with eagles’ wings. They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
    Psalm 27:14 – Wait for the Lord, take courage be stouthearted, wait for the Lord.
    Luke 18:1 – Then He told them a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary.
    Therefore, pray on.

    These type of people that take over Dominica, Dominicans have to start watching their backs. Some form of evil stuff is going on. Are they looking for souls? Heavenly father cover Dominica under the blood. Mr. Joseph i pray that you find your way home. In jesus name.

      You never know who they are. Be careful who you befriend and where you go. They may appear to be friendly and kind but underneath is something else.
      Do not eat and drink and accept gifts from people you do not know. Stick to family food and gatherings.
      As people grow older they should become wiser. There is unsuspecting evil everywhere. Always pray for God’s protection.
      If you are a Catholic, make use of the Holy Water. Some years ago, the Mother of God said to a visionary, “Restore the use of Holy Water in your home.” This is a message for everyone of us with no exception. It definitely wards off the enemy of our souls, the devil and wickedness of people. There are some stories about that; also wearing the Brown Scapular which She gave to St. Simon Stock in the ancient days. Again, it is for all of us. All come from God.
      I have the information and booklet. You can Google this information. I have noted the Internet has everything we want to know.

    What is really going on in little Dominica?? All these people disappearing some with no trace, this is cause for grave concern. I hope the authorities are paying close attention. DNO can you do a story on the number of missing persons in the last few months? If possible get up to date pics, what they were last seen wearing, date and time last seen?

      They said he was “spending time” there not “residing”. Please read before you type.

      I do hope that Joko along with all the other missing people are found, and in good condition. Joko was full of life and laughter. There was never a dull moment when he was present. I feel for the family.

    Prayer for the safe return of missing people

    Jesus, You beheld your mother’s distress when at age 12 you disappeared for just three days, have mercy and help lost ones returned home unharmed.
    Lord, bless all those who hearts are much troubled, and grant a positive outcome to the present events. Amen!

    Prayer for a missing person

    We put our hope in the Lord
    He is our protector and our help.
    We are glad because of Him.
    We trust in His Holy Name.
    May your constant love be with us, Lord,
    As we put our hope in You.
    Psalm 33: 20-22

    Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
    “There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”
    To me, this means no situation can remain cloaked in secrecy or uncertainty. No one is lost to God. His all-knowing, all-seeing love is on duty 24/7.

    “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
    Scripture about encouragement:

    Prayer for Those Whose Loved Ones Are Missing
    Loving God, the hope and protector of all humankind; bless those whose loved ones are missing. The agony of not knowing whether someone is living or dead is a daily torture. The uncertainty of life’s future relationships hangs in limbo. Hope rides a roller coaster. Yet each day must be lived. Give unto your people the blessing of your grace that they may face each day with courage and hope. Guard their families from further danger and harm and hold them in the blessing of your love. Amen.

    This time I will state something bad is definitely occurring in Dominica with the disappearances of some people. This is suspicious. They cannot be coincidental. Who could be doing that to them? Dominicans have reason for concern.
    Was the elderly man who disappeared at Pointe Michel (if I recall) at the time of the bi-election ever found? Did he return home?
    The man whose body was recently found floating in the sea off Mahaut how did he die? Nothing more was stated about him as to the cause.
    What I can state is, God knows. Whoever you are who cause their disappearance and whatever else, in the Most Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, CEASE your wickedness! The day will come when you will severely pay for your wickedness. I am blatantly stating, in Satan’s cauldron of everlasting fire. You think you do such harm and will get away with it? Oh no! This is atrocious and taking advantage of vulnerable people. You will not escape your just judgment and recompense.
