Last night I was zipping through Columbus Circle and saw that your planet’s Moon was full.
At it turned out, the last Full Moon of your decade was at 12:12 EST on 12/12.
The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I’m just sayin’.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Locally, GMT, moonrise at 16:18 full at 17:12. Looking from my house, eastward over the sea with a clear sky! It was spectacular.
But, mathematical nitpicker here! : there was no year dot. 1AD to 10AD was the first decade, and 1001 to 2000 was the second millennium. Those who celebrated on January First 2000 were jumping the gun, as are those who are out there having Christmas parties now.
Sorry, Father, but I have to disagree with you.
Since the 20th century began in 1901 and ended in 2000, and the 21st century began in 2001, the first decade of the current century began in 2001 and ended in 2010, and the second decade began in 2011 and will end in 2020. So there will be at least 12 more full moons this decade.
Nice symbolism, but there will still be some further 12 (13?) full moons within this decade, ending as it does on December 31st, 2020.
Imrahil – You might want to sit back with a nice cup of Mystic Monk Coffee as you will soon be schooled in multiple posts about how decades may be counted. :-)
My question, though, was Fr. Z’s use of the term “your planet’s Moon” rather than “our”. Is there something we should know, Father?
Last night the moon was so bright my daughter got up and asked if I had the light on in the back yard and I told her it was the moon. She said it was keeping her awake because it was so bright.
Speaking of Our Lady , check out this timeline of world events and her.

I don’t like to find myself disagreeing with our benevolent dictator, but my decades end in zero too. Fortunately this is not the sort of thing that should divide us as we battle the enemies of Catholicism. (Yes, I just got back from David Carlin’s column.)
Ahem, if I recall correctly, our years are a couple off anyway. Wasn’t Christ actually born around 4 years before… uh… Christ? So 4 BC should actually be AD 1, and this year is actually AD 2023, which means we have about 84 full moons left?
And you thought YOU were pedantic!
On a different note:
“Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time” – Revelation 12:12.
I had a horrible demonic dream (nightmare) last night. I can’t remember the last time this happened. And now I realize it was a full moon. Isn’t the full moon a time when witches and occultists summon demons? Maybe just a coincidence???
The current decade ends December 31, 2020. The last full moon of this decade will be December 30, at 3:28 UTC, i.e. December 29, 2020 10:28 p.m. EST. On the East Coast it will still be the 5th day of Christmas octave, and in Europe it will be the 6th day already.
During the last full moon (Dec. 12, 2019) Luna was in the constellation Taurus, i.e. under the right foot of the Ever Virgin of Guadelupe (according to the constellation pattern on her mantle https://www.myguadalupe.com/symbolism.html).
Crescent moon under the feet of the Blessed Virgin in her image refers to her blessed pregnancy as Mother of the Church.
