The spirit of the Pharisees lives on! (1)
Shas' leader says religious physicians cannot violate Sabbath in order to save gentiles' lives, but offers halachic solution to avoid legal repercussions.
What should religious doctors do if a gentile is injured in a car accident on Shabbat and is
rushed to the hospital? According to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, this does not warrant violating the
sanctity of the Sabbath.
During a class on Sabbath halacha relating to religious physicians, the spiritual leader of Shas said that while doctors are expected to do everything in their power – even if it requires violating the Sabbath – in order to save Jews whose lives are in danger, the same does not apply for gentiles.
"If a gentile were to get injured in a car accident during Sabbath, and he is brought to the hospital – Israel must not treat him," he said, explaining that "if the particular procedures come from rabbis (de-rabbanan), then they might be permitted, but if they stem from prohibitions in the Torah (de-'oraita), then they are not allowed, as the Torah forbids to violate the Sabbath for gentiles."

miguel de Portugal comments: This brings to mind the parable about the man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho that fell among robbers:
What is written in the law? how readest thou? He answering,
said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all
thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said to him: Thou hast
answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus:
And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving
him half dead.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion. [Luke 10: 26-33]

Do notice that Jesus is using this parable to teach the fundamental law of Judaism so that no one can say, justifying whatever they wish to justify: We do not believe in Jesus or what He says.
Mr. Ovadia Yosef in his blasphemous arrogance chooses to qualify an unchangeable Divine Law.
As you may see, fanatic Jews add footnotes to fundamental Divine Laws just as fanatic Christians do. Fanatics are just that - fanatics (2)(3). That is their real and only faith regardless of the faith they claim to uphold.

Asteroid 2012 KP 24, a smallish rock about 25 meters (80 feet) across, will pass pretty close to the Earth on May 28, buzzing us at a distance of about 30,000 kilometers (18,000 miles). That's close as passes go, but still a clean miss.(1)

Closest approach is at about 15:00 UTC
(11:00 a.m. Eastern US time) on
Monday, May 28.
It will actually pass Earth closer than our geosynchronous satellites!
At closest approach, it will whiz by at about 13 km/sec (30,000 mph). I will note I calculated most of these numbers based on the JPL site linked above, and they may be refined over the next day or two.
It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey (as so many near-Earth asteroids are) on the evening of May 23/24.

miguel de Portugal comments:
First: Notice the lead time astronomers had before the close encounter - barely 96 hours. It is always a good idea to be "Ready to go" because we assure you - humanity will have less notice than that when "the other shoe drops". (The first shoe was during Noah's time...)
Second: God continues to "Tweet" those who have Eyes to see and Ears to hear. The "official time of the world" has been taken, by convention, as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) (2) We are told that the "Closest approach is at about 15:00 UTC (11:00 a.m. Eastern US time)".
15:00 UTC is translated to 3 P.M. which just happens to be the Hour of Mercy.
THREE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON THE HOUR OF GREAT
MERCY
"I remind you, My daughter, that as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse
yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invite its omnipotence for the whole
world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul.
In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour
of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over
justice."
Our Lord, speaking to Sister Faustina Kowalska in
1938, told her (No.1572 of Sister Faustina's Diary (3)
We pray that those who need to notice such providential match across the entire world, do notice it and act upon it. Is this our last chance to appeal for His Mercy and be heard? (4)
As the Holy Spirit of God descends anew upon each one of you on this Feast of Pentecost seek the answer to that question.

The following was given to miguel de Portugal in two inspirations. The first arrived "garbled" but the second, during the Pentecost Vigil Mass, was complete.
We will make an effort to transmit it for the Glory of God.
In the Pentecost Vigil Mass' Gospel we read:
The following was given to miguel de Portugal in two inspirations. The first arrived "garbled" but the second, during the Pentecost Vigil Mass, was complete.
We will make an effort to transmit it for the Glory of God.
In the Pentecost Vigil Mass' Gospel we read:
And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man
thirst, let him come to me, and drink. [38] He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out
of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Now this he said of the Spirit which they
should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not
yet glorified. [John 7:37-39]
In other parts of the Gospel we also read:
But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will
not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. [John 16:7]
This concept is found in several other parts of the Gospel. That is, Jesus must go through His
entire Journey in Time, up to and including being
Glorified, before the Holy Spirit is sent.
But wait! Something must be amiss. We have heard about the action of the Holy Spirit among men in the New Testament as well as in the Old Testament. In other words, Jesus keeps promising us a Holy Spirit to be sent once He is Glorified, yet that same Holy Spirit has been among men for quite some time already. Remember Simon at the Temple?

And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had
seen the Christ of the Lord. And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents
brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, he also took him
into his arms, and blessed God, and said: Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to
thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, [Luke 2:
26-30]
The real question - mystery - is: How come Jesus had to finish His Journey, up to and including
being Glorified, to then be able send something (the Holy Spirit) Who has been seen in action
throughout the Old and New Testament - long before Jesus' Glorification?
The answer to that question is the gift we wish to share with you today.
The Creation of man is explained by the combination of two Biblical statements in the Book of Genesis:
The answer to that question is the gift we wish to share with you today.
The Creation of man is explained by the combination of two Biblical statements in the Book of Genesis:
And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he
created them. [Genesis 1:27]
and
And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of
life, and man became a living soul. [Genesis 2:7]
The key being that God breathed His spirit in what was
essentially an animal (as we have explained in a series of documents
(1)) converting that creature now into His
image - male and female.
Then comes the fall [Genesis 3] and the fallen ones, upon losing the quality of being in the Image of God, essentially go back to their pre Creation in the Image of God state.
In order to return to that "in the Image of God" state, the most grievous sin of betraying God has to be paid and only God "is big enough" to make such enormous reparation.
Jesus comes into the scene.
If the Spirit of God encased in a human body can complete a Journey in Time, in which the reparation of the original grievous sin has been fully made, as only God could, a Journey which includes returning back to Paradise (being Glorified) then, God Will allow, on a case by case basis, the return of His Holy Spirit (His Breath) back into a human creature who had lost that grace millennia ago.
Therefore, after the fall, and up to the time Jesus was Glorified, the Holy Spirit we hear about in the Scriptures is indeed the Holy Spirit of God inspiring, guiding and communicating, BUT NEVER possessing, residing within a human creature.
In a nutshell: Jesus complete Journey made a human creature permeable, so to speak, to the Holy Spirit of God which, of course, is optional as God respects our Free Will.
However, the fact that we are "permeable" to the "Breath of God" does not mean that it is automatically infused and/or if it enters it stays in. The spiritual state of a human creature can change up to the very last minute - in one direction or another.
I pray to God that we have been able to share this gift with you in as clear a manner as it is in my soul.

Regarding "A Threesome of Saviors - A Restricted Circulation
Communication" communication....
From personal observation - whether we speak of politicians or clergy - they seem to be yawning and looking at their watches, collectively. As if awaiting a signal to proceed with sealed plans, of which they are totally 'on board with'. And of which they are in unity on the facilitation thereof. Which they are impatient to do.
As if all they were doing now (in politics, business and the church) were merely 'busy work'; biding their time.
I noted that neatly coinciding with Ratzinger being placed on the throne, priests magically found their cassocks and birettas. And rediscovered Latin words.
And magically became 'orthodox' overnight. Similar happened to liturgical music, as if 'on signal'.
So whatever program, initiative, or random collection of lies is next, awaits the 'signal from on high'. I can easily see both Catholic priests as well as conservative Protestant leaders (especially Evangelicals) eagerly telling their flocks: "there he is", when the False Christ is manifested.
From my experience, I have felt their wrath when I (or anyone) dared to question the agenda they were currently implementing in the past. Anger and barely suppressed rage. Even direct threats of physical violence aimed at myself.
Based on this, it is not hard to imagine how they will react to anyone who DARES say that the False Christ..... is false.

A. We agree with you regarding "they seem to be yawning and looking at their watches, collectively" and "As if all they were doing now were merely 'busy work'; biding their time. " The disagreement comes with the assumption that they are "on board" with what is to come.
What you aptly described, and with which we concur, is not a conscious behavior: Most of the people today - specially leaders - act on a zombie like manner. It is like they have been drugged and are going through the motions in whatever they are involved.... and they really are: They have become mere puppets with the puppet master being satan.
In a document that we published (1) eleven years ago we stated:

In a document that we published (1) eleven years ago we stated:
All of this would be best understood once the reader
realizes that both conspiracies have one single point source; one single master: satan. He
will use .....conspiracies as he prepares the world for the falsification of the second Coming of
Christ; that is, the manifestation of the False Christ
We recommend a careful review of said document (1) in order to better understand the state in which people around us are. The feeling/impression we get is that of existing among the living dead who are awaiting for their bodies to die so that they may be buried since their souls are already dead or in "suspended animation" (members of the Elect whose eyes and ears are still closed).
This perceived state is confirmed every time we come across someone who is not part of "them"; someone who is truly alive and see the reality as it is. Level of education, age, gender, religious affiliation, level of devotion, or nationality cannot be used as a common denominator for such awareness. They come from all groups and they all are in amazement that no one else can see what they are seeing.
Some of them have no idea who they are talking to (m de P); therefore, it is not that they make such statements because the one who is listening to them will be in agreement.
One of the things that the "living dead" have in common: They do not wish to be awaken and may go to extremes to prevent anyone from doing so as you aptly described.

Last night, after prayer I watched two very interesting movies:
Earthquake (1a, 1b), and The Grapes of Wrath (2). This was entirely 'by coincidence', as I do not have a TV schedule.
The former is a fictional account of a massive earthquake hitting the greater Los Angeles, California region. The latter is the real life story of the vast thousands of US farmers who were displaced from their land by both natural AND man-made catastrophes. They went into exile, roaming the countryside. Searching for... food, water, shelter, and work.
What little 'work' they could find was in virtual 'FEMA camps' of the 1930s variety. Complete with horrid conditions, official brutality, and starvation wages. (3)
I do not need Daniel to translate the handwriting on the wall here! There was no "coincidence", as God led me to watch these films. God was clearly showing me the imminent "shape of things to come".
May God have mercy upon us all.

The horrors this lady experienced mirror what I personally experienced. Both in my profession, which involved daily contact with clergy (including now globally famous ones), and my experiences as a patient. In the latter, I have been in ICU, regular hospitals, AND in a nursing home. So I have seen with my own eyes (and experienced in my person) all that she documents.
Whether dealing with the Church or various health care facilities, if I DARED to complain.... then I was 'the evil one'. And I then experienced all that she recounts.
This honest and well intentioned nurse has obviously suffered much for justice.... for God. And she shall be in my prayers.

A heroic generation still cries: 'Never

We have chosen to reproduce an entire news report
(1) associated with the release of a new
book, "Subversive Lives" for very specific End of These
Times related reasons. Said book, which took ten years to write, describes the efforts of valiant
Filipinos to secure for their country a just government.
All their efforts and suffering failed to yield the desired results. The survivors/authors are hoping that by publishing the book, the people of the Philippines will avoid the same horrific mistakes. Ryan, one of the survivors and contributors say:
What is even more horrific than what took place is that their past efforts and experiences, as well as the book, will not prevent a replay of what has been the "Daily Bread" of the world since shortly after the waters, of what we know as Noah's Flood, subsided.
Man could achieve that lofty goal only with God, with Whom all is possible. Unfortunately most men only talk about God while a small handful follows the teachings of the Word of God, Who manifested Itself as a human in the Person of Jesus precisely with the intention of breaking that deadly cycle.
So, the reader may ask: What are those "specific End of These Times related reasons" you referred to for publishing this entire news report?
The reasons are to remind those who read our pages that:
(a) Such lofty goal (a just government) can only be achieved with God and through God. There is no other way.
(b) Because man has failed to implement the very simple and straight forward teachings of Jesus Christ, and has no intention of doing so, God will have to step in so that His "Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", which will logically yield a just system, which will then yield the fruit Justice produces: Peace
(c) The authors of the book have given a concise, and from the inside, evaluation of the Opus Dei cult worthy of sharing:
Brethren, let us continue to pray. Be assured that I know - KNOW - that union with God is the only solution and that all else - ALL ELSE - will fail. The world continues to be warned.
All their efforts and suffering failed to yield the desired results. The survivors/authors are hoping that by publishing the book, the people of the Philippines will avoid the same horrific mistakes. Ryan, one of the survivors and contributors say:
"The torturers and killers who have been left untouched
all these years must be punished. Families of the victims must receive just compensation far
beyond the small sum distributed to them last year.
The truth about martial law
and the revolution of 1964-93 must be told to the youth and must serve as lessons for generations
to come."
What is even more horrific than what took place is that their past efforts and experiences, as well as the book, will not prevent a replay of what has been the "Daily Bread" of the world since shortly after the waters, of what we know as Noah's Flood, subsided.

(c) The authors of the book have given a concise, and from the inside, evaluation of the Opus Dei cult worthy of sharing:
The book took 10 years to write. Some siblings initially resisted uncovering painful memories.
Lys, Norman, Emilie, Caren, Nathan, Lillian, Jan, Ryan, Jun and Susan
lived through and went up against three authoritarian
systems: the Marcos dictatorship, the CPP when its hard-liners prevailed and the Opus Dei
(d) The neutralization of evil can only be achieved
with God
and through God.
There is no other way -
with any kind of violence occupying the number
one spot in the "Do Not Use" list.Brethren, let us continue to pray. Be assured that I know - KNOW - that union with God is the only solution and that all else - ALL ELSE - will fail. The world continues to be warned.

It is interesting to note
that.....
The Apostle Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot by "casting lots". [Acts 1: 23-26]
It is also interesting that this is not an isolated occurrence to determine the Divine Choice, as you may see below:
Of course, in some cases lots have been cast for determining the course of action regarding an evil deed (Joel 3:3, for example). However, we must remember that evil can only act when allowed by God.
Obviously, the proper use of our Inspired Readings Tableau certainly has Biblical endorsement and you are encouraged to take advantage of it after carefully reading our recommendations on how to use it.

Of course, in some cases lots have been cast for determining the course of action regarding an evil deed (Joel 3:3, for example). However, we must remember that evil can only act when allowed by God.
Obviously, the proper use of our Inspired Readings Tableau certainly has Biblical endorsement and you are encouraged to take advantage of it after carefully reading our recommendations on how to use it.

This is what Spiritual Direction is all
about:
From time to time someone will ask miguel de Portugal:
Just two days ago, in a clearly inspired impulse, miguel responded to a type (b) question from a close cooperator in the following manner:
(a) How soon is "soon"? Can you give me specifics about this or that?; or
(b) Considering what you are aware of, what do you think my priorities should be regarding "X", "Y" and "Z".
(b) Considering what you are aware of, what do you think my priorities should be regarding "X", "Y" and "Z".
Just two days ago, in a clearly inspired impulse, miguel responded to a type (b) question from a close cooperator in the following manner:
Who am I, God?
Let His Holy Spirit guide you.
Let His Holy Spirit guide you.
The individual in question responded:
I asked you a priorities question, and you referred me to
God.
When I read your response, I asked Him, and asked again for confirmation later, during afternoon prayer.
The answer came both times as an immediate intuition, not in sentences or paragraphs.
But what I heard (translating into sentences) was. "If something about those movements/organizations comes to your attention, follow it up. However, do not make a special, detailed effort to do more research on [edited out]. Keep on with your current plans."
These plans include: [miguel was well aware of his current plans but we have also edited out from this publication].
The context that I filled in for the answer was the following speculation: [edited out]
Any comments?

If we had answered your original question, the answer would have been essentially - word for word - what you "heard", to wit: If something about those movements/organizations comes to your attention, follow up. However, do not make a special, detailed effort to do more research on [edited out]. Keep on with your current plans.
The speculation with which you "filled in for the answer" is essentially on target.
What you have witnessed with this exchange is Spiritual Direction as it was intended to be.
If we had responded to your original question it would have been equivalent of Divination as we explained in a certain Document published years ago.

Spiritual Direction is: (a) Teach how to establish and maintain an open line of communication with God; (b) Teach how to recognize and avoid the pitfalls of interference by the evil one; (e) Point out signs of a defective communication, should there have been one so that the directee may "place the call again"; and last, but not least (f) Provide an independent confirmation (from outside of the directee's mind) that the divine Feedback was just that: God answering the directee's request.
Anything else is what most of the "Evangelizers" have been doing for 1,600 years: Control and manipulate the Faithful via guilt and fear.... with a generous dash of brainwashing.
Which brings us to....
One appropriate part from the Sunday Mass' readings and one for today's:
And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came
to meet him, and falling at his feet adored. But Peter
lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
[Acts 10: 25-26]
and
But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the
Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the
Father,
(1)
he shall give testimony of me. And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the
beginning.
These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized. They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God. And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. [John 15:26 - 16:4]

Just brings to mind the sad reality of how the Administration has loved to be "adored" and kill whomever disagreed with their malpractice of Christianity.
Remember: There ia a vast difference between the Administration and the Faith which has reached us in a Pristine manner in spite of the Administrators.

Cardinal Pell says Adam and Eve didn't exist. (1)
Cardinal Pell says Adam and Eve didn't exist. (1)
In comments that may shock some staunch Catholics,
Cardinal George Pell has described the biblical story of
Adam and Eve as a myth.
He appeared alongside renowned evolutionary biologist and atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins (2), on the ABC's Q&A program last night.
Cardinal Pell said the existence of Adam and Eve was not a matter of science but rather a mythological account. "It's a very sophisticated mythology to try to explain the evil and the suffering in the world," he said. "It's a religious story told for religious purposes."
According to Genesis, God created Adam and Eve as the first man and woman and all people are descended from them. Cardinal Pell's explosive comments came after he was questioned about evolution.
He said it was impossible to say when there was a first human.

We have already explained all that has to be explained about Adam and Eve in our documents Creation vs Evolution - Part 1 and Part 2 which Pell obviously missed.
The statement made by Pell are, in essence, wrong (3), uncharitable, scandalous and a true reflection of the mental state of a strong candidate for the non Elect group. We have had no indication from God to share the above mentioned documents with Pell which, in itself, "speaks volumes".
We found the claim that it "was impossible to say when there was a first human" quite amusing, considering that soon we will be publishing a document which not only will pin point - within 400 years - when God infused His Spirit in man, but also the time - within 400 years - when man went from an animal state to a human state in preparation for the infusion of the Divine Spirit.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, it will be published only in Spanish. If anyone is willing to provide us with a "turn key" (that means: All we have to do is publish it) translation into English, let us know and then we will publish it in English too.

Prior to engaging in the Sacrament of Reconciliation pray as follows:
(a) Ask God to guide you to the confessor He wants you to go to. (This, of course, is not
necessary for those who already have an established confessor.)
(b) Ask God to move you to confess all that He Wills that you "discharge" in the confessional.
(c) Ask the Holy Spirit of God to illuminate the confessor so that he may speak the words God wants you to hear and that you understand them and act upon them in the manner God Wills it.
(d) Pray for the conversion of the confessor - even if you have not seen him yet. Also for his protection from demonic attacks. (Most of what has happened amongst the religious, clergy and hierarchy is because the faithful seldom pray for them. Since many of them are too arrogant to ask the faithful to pray for them, they a re mostly unprotected since their own prayers are usually wanting.)

The Divine Encouragement posted yesterday (1) came as an amazing confirmation for the advice I gave a young single person last night who was needing to be reminded that keeping all of God's commandments is not to be viewed as a punishment but rather an honor, a challenge, to serve God as faithfully as possible, especially while being tempted to break a commandment.
We as Christians must be authentic or we cannot be effective in bringing souls to Christ. In this he will also protect his soul, his heart, his reputation, and at the end of the day, a clear conscience is his reward.
He thanked me profusely for being there for him. Thank YOU for your endless work to keep us on the right track, that we may stay in the Light, to be light to others.
Love,
KH
A. You kind words, and desire to share with us, Glorify God.

Regarding you post on this same forum dated May 4th
(1) about the mechanism of
forgiveness...
One of the problems I have had is that I felt like forgiving those who hurt me so much was casting pearls before swine. It did not feel like a holy endeavor to further humiliate myself before people I perceive to be evil.
However, in the light of the facts that:
....the reason for "...forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" becomes crystal clear.
If I focus on loving these people, even from afar in prayer, then I can bring out the "S" in them, which can overcome the wounds that the Principalities and Powers and other evil spirits took advantage of, and bred upon, like an infection. When these people did those things to me, they were controlled by these spirits to a large extent. I know this is true from my own shortcomings and how difficult is was to overcome certain things.
So, since I want to go to Heaven, it seems like a no-brainer. The evil they caused to me is because of all the wounds they have. They may have even Legions [] still working against them at all times. They might be in a prison that they cannot escape from. Lots of money and possessions makes it even harder for them to get out.
Therefore, hating them because they don't have the same spiritual advantages as I do, would really not be Christ-like at all. If I hadn't been attacked by my brother, for example, I may have died years ago in a state of complacency and sin. And since hell is a place dominated by fallen angels, they would torment me especially.
So, my friend, after I send this, I think I will get on my knees and for the first time pray for my father without anger. He is still alive, so maybe he just needs to be forgiven before he goes on. Maybe I will help take away some of his punishment. I hope I will.
I wouldn't feel bad about it if some of my suffering was applied to bring out his "S" before it is too late.
You guys are special, what you are doing is so great.
Thanks!
IW
A. If this is a sample of what God can do through us, I would give my "Yes" to God one thousand times again.
Having reviewed you horrific early life history, your understanding and acting upon the theo-logic of Sin and Forgiveness (assuming, of course, that it was not a passing flash but a new beginning for you) can only be qualified using the parable of the prodigal son:

And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my
father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger? I will arise, and will go to my
father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: I am not worthy to
be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And rising up he came to his father. And
when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to
him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son. And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry: Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. [Luke 15: 17-24]

From (Mrs.) RM @ Puerto
Rico
The contents of the News Commentary posted on May 4th
(1) left me speechless!
Jose Luis de Jesus appeared for the first time in our (Puerto Rico's) mass media almost 10 years ago. It was a promotional media "tour" in the same fashion the artists promotes their music. He appeared in the prime time TV programs at that time. Before then, no one knew about him.
He presented himself as having a big group of followers proclaiming that sin was destroyed at the crucifixion, therefore, sin did not exist any longer. That is probably the reason his follower are "learning how to live happy"!!!!!
At the time of his appearance, I gave it no importance since it appeared to be more of a fictionional character, just as one rehearses his theatrical personage . I did not even finish watching the interview. The general perception was that he was mad.
The first time you talked about him on your pages some time ago, I was surprised. In that moment I thought that I was missing something about this person. It is now, with the news commentaries of May 4th, that I notice the real purpose of his function. The evil one is gathering his forces! You named him correctly: "a demon entity".
Praise be The Lord for your pages and comments. He is showing Mercy to his people through your work!
RM
A. Your kind words Glorify God Whom we strive to serve. We say "strive" because miguel wishes that he could do more but Time Frame limitations make it impossible.
Your "from Jose Luis' birth place" report is indeed interesting and invaluable. It tells us that he had been at work for quite some time since prime time TV programs are reserved for those who already have a "real face" in some parts of the world. That, in turn, makes the story from the Philippines even more believable since those interviewed said that their experience happened 22 years ago.
It also reminds us that - like with Rasputin and Hitler - a demonic-powered individual, when allowed by God, can become a real negative influence in spite of how mad, stupid and/or ignorant they may seem initially.

Regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation....
In addition to what we have published (1) about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, there are two more points that we wish to discuss.
One: We have heard confessors, at the time when the Absolution is given, saying (paraphrasing some): By the power given to me by the Church I absolve you... etc.
Only God can forgive. Therefore, the power the confessor is invoking was given to him by God as part of his ministry and not by an institution.
Two: We must remember the following parable:

Two: We must remember the following parable:
Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and
the other a publican.
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted. [Luke 18: 10-14]

The keys to Divine Forgiveness is the
acknowledgment of one's sins, the sincere repentance and last, but not least!, renewed effort to
avoid sin.
No, we are not recommending to skip the confessional and do it "on direct" as exemplified by the above parable. We have already discussed the merits of confessing one's sins to another human, but there are already situations where the confessor is no longer available or is an outright fraud. In which case, one will have to resort to "on direct" confession.
We know of individuals in a small Portuguese town - daily Mass and Rosary individuals - who have just given up on the local priest's lack of time for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and conduct their Sacrament of Reconciliation privately kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament..... and this was 10 years ago already and in very Catholic Portugal. Imagine the situation today.

[First Saturday
of the Month]
I found this video (1) in YouTube wherein
two homeless Philippines gave testimony about knowing that RFID
(2) was already in used in remote and
secret places of their land, since some time ago (they said: since they were children).
I could not found any corroborating information that the RFID's been already in used back then.
I am relying in the translation into English that appears as subtitles in the video. The video was uploaded on April 24, 2012. In the description box of it, it is said that the testimony was recorded on April 17, 2012. Maybe some of your readers could be a more trusting source.
I know RFID are being used for tracking people, children, sick people and others, in a voluntary fashion. But this video relates the chipping as forced, as a form of mind control and also with some kind of tattoo (a 666 mark) made in the forehead of the people already chipped.
RM
A. We had the translation and other location and cultural related facts checked. They are believable.
However, to us the hardest part to believe was the "666" tattoo until.... someone sent to us a news report from Canada which we posted in News Commentary page dated May the 4th. The confirmed existence of such insanity (that of Jose Luis de Jesus (3)) lends the missing credibility to the YouTube video.

I know RFID are being used for tracking people, children, sick people and others, in a voluntary fashion. But this video relates the chipping as forced, as a form of mind control and also with some kind of tattoo (a 666 mark) made in the forehead of the people already chipped.
RM
A. We had the translation and other location and cultural related facts checked. They are believable.
However, to us the hardest part to believe was the "666" tattoo until.... someone sent to us a news report from Canada which we posted in News Commentary page dated May the 4th. The confirmed existence of such insanity (that of Jose Luis de Jesus (3)) lends the missing credibility to the YouTube video.

(3) According to Wikipedia:
José Luis de Jesús Miranda (born April 22, 1946 in Ponce, Puerto Rico) is the
founder and leader of Creciendo en Gracia (Growing In Grace International Ministry, Inc.), based
in Miami, Florida. He claims to be both Jesus Christ returned and the Antichrist, and exhibits a
"666" tattoo on his forearm. He has referred to himself as "Jesucristo Hombre" which translates to
"The Man Christ Jesus".
In early 2007 he claimed that he was the Antichrist. He states that the term is appropriate because people are no longer to follow the "Jewish teachings" of Jesus of Nazareth, but rather to follow the Apostle Paul's teachings through De Jesús. According to De Jesús, "Antichrist" means "no longer following Jesus of Nazareth as he lived in the days of his flesh".
Most recently, followers have shown their support by getting "666" tattoos on their bodies. "666", de Jesús says, is not a sign of the Devil (he preaches that the Devil was destroyed), but the number of the Antichrist. A gallery of followers tattooed with the number of his name, 666, may be seen on his official website.

I don't think I will be very good at spreading the devotion to the
Two Hearts until I am able to forgive.
Please keep praying for me. Know that I also am taking up your cause as I am beginning to pray more.
I just read in a Blog:
I am sending the above quote because I wanted you to know what was going on with me. Things are getting kind of anomalous. That is probably a good sign.
This brings to mind part of a joke: A devout non-Catholic thinks that an easy life is a sign of God's favor. A devout Catholic believes that a hard life is a sign of God's favor.
It seems to me that a hard life would be more Scriptural. I just remembered about the vine, the branches and the pruning, and how facing opposition is foretold.

I just read in a Blog:
Well, if someone DIDN'T do anything wrong to you then you
wouldn't need to forgive them right? In other words, you can ONLY forgive someone if they HAVE
done something wrong to you. That's the point.
Real forgiveness is for real sin.
The first step to forgiving others is to recognize that no-one has done anything to you that even comes CLOSE to the offenses that you have committed against almighty God.

A. Our Lord Jesus Christ "comments" on the above through St. Luke:
And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said:
Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of
God.
Blessed are ye that
hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are
ye that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed
shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you,
and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice;
for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things did their fathers to the
prophets. But woe to you that are rich: for you have your consolation. Woe to you that are filled:
for you shall hunger. Woe to you that now laugh: for you shall mourn and weep.
Woe to you when men shall bless you: for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you. And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every one that asketh thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.
And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner. And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also do this. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? for sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much. But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful, and to the evil. [Luke 6: 20-35]

From miguel de Portugal
Remember what we have often said: Loving your enemies does not mean that you want to socialize with them. It means that you should sincerely wish the best for them - their conversion - and you pray for them in all sincerity. Even do them a favor, if the situation arises.
Regarding forgiveness: As opposed to the often incorrect popular belief, forgiving does not necessarily mean forgetting any more than we should expect that a healed wound did not leave a scar. Some spiritual wound, like physical wounds, leave permanent scars which cannot be forgotten. However, when we sincerely forgive, the spiritual wound begins to heal and will not "become infected" and cause more damage. It may not be forgotten, but its memory will generate pity and and not hatred.
Jesus showed us the key to forgiveness at the cross when He said: Father, forgive them for they not know what they do.
Think of it - If they had know that Jesus was the Word made Flesh, would they have murdered Him? Of course not!
The question is: Why do some humans act in such an evil manner? Once we fully understand what is going on, it will be a lot easier to forgive the transgressor(s) and pray for them.
We, in the Name of God, revealed that mechanism nineteen years ago. It is a shame that so many are still ignorant of it.

We have recently received two letters from a long time visitor to our pages. One deals with the validity of the Eucharist found in churches these days as well as the validity of the other Sacraments, like that of Reconciliation. Following you will find a response that we were going to mail to him but which God moved us to post on this page for all to read.

Following you will find a response that we were going to mail to him but which God moved us to post on this page for all to read.
Since we have extensively covered the issues regarding the validity Eucharist in today's churches
and of the other Sacraments, like Reconciliation, it will be a little while before we discuss them
again on the Private FYI&R page. There is simply so much that we can do and, when we enter
into repeating the already published and discussed information, we have to be quite severe
regarding priorities.
We have provided, through the very hard work of a cooperator, what you will find in This Page. An excellent Search tool which we strongly encourage all to use.
Search what we have published regarding the issues that concern you and then, let us know what else you need to know about those subjects that we have yet to clarify. Then, as God allows it - He is the One Who manages my time, which really became His time starting on October 13, 1991 - we will try to clarify the issues further, if necessary.
I regret my great limitations. I sincerely wish we could do more, but, as it is, it is short of miraculous that we can even do what we manage to accomplish on a day to day basis - obviously, through the Grace of God.

I just read the story about the insect drones seen by antiwar protesters in 2007.(1)
Are we looking at a symbolic - or literal - fulfillment of Rev. 9:3-11?
LP
A. In reality, it could be an enhanced symbolic fulfillment as well as part of a literal one. The "Big Brother" syndrome has become the most ravaging ever increasing worldwide plague of the last decade while, the actual locust (and similar insects) plagues have also been devastating in many parts of the world in recent years. You may want to take a look at what National Geographic had to say back in 2005 (2).
This may be a good time to review how Biblical prophecies are fulfilled (3a,b) since they are fulfilled in God's Way, and not in man's way, as we expect them to be. This exercise will help us to spot the fulfilling prophecies right before our eyes.

Regarding your recent statement that: "The only thing left to do is pray for ourselves and others and to strengthen our faith to enable us to navigate through these most dangerous and treacherous waters of the Apocalypse. There is nothing else to do that will produce any kind of good fruit."
Miguel, Why so negative? The World is negative enough. Christians are to be positive and filled the joy of the Holy Spirit. The End is near but the door has not yet been closed. Now is the time to bring those stubborn family members and friends who have hardened their hearts to Jesus Christ, to wake them out of their slumber. This will be "producing good fruit". The Holy Spirit is being outpoured today, use this time wisely!
Never give up on Jesus and the miracles he can perform in someone who has a hardened their heart, Jesus doesn't give up on us.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With
the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow
in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to
perish, but everyone to come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:8]
People need to repent of their ugly sins and stop offending God. They must turn away from chasing their fleshy idols of (hours of TV, Hollywood movies, sports, shopping for the latest gadget, gossiping, drinking, partying etc.. ) and live right for Jesus Christ's sake.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee
from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say
to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise
up children for Abraham" . [Matthew 3:7-9].
May the grace of Jesus be with you,
Mrs. B.
A. Did you miss what we meant by "The only thing left to do is pray for ourselves and others and to strengthen our faith to enable us to navigate through these most dangerous and treacherous waters of the Apocalypse."
Is that negative? No, dear sister, that is being constructive and realistic.
To announce or proclaim the adversities that are ahead is not "negativism". The Scripture is full of examples where the prophets announce, in The Name of God, the adversities that awaits humanity. On the other hand, the false prophets in the Scriptures, did the contrary. The last ones, tried to proclaim what was sweet to the ears of the people, although it was opposed to the duty of the true prophets.
Will we say that God was "negative" because of the message given by His prophets? No, He was not! On the contrary, He was Merciful because He allowed nothing that was not announced before. The announcements of the different chastisements were His way of claiming His Glory to all of those who forgot that He is in charge of all the destinies. We are now in the same situation of our predecessors!
In the end, the prophesies are not the property of the prophets; they belong to God and are to be proclaimed how and when He deems it appropriate. The prophets are only His instruments, the tool at His hands to reach His people. Who are we to judge the ways of God? Our ways aren't His and neither they are better than His!
Do "the Eyes to See and the Ears to Hear" depend on being positive or negative about the reality that surround us? Have you realized what it means "to be in a worst situation than in Noah's time?" Are you prepared to deal with demons, as near as your family members or close friends? Are you prepared to struggle with catastrophes, scarcity of food, plagues and wars and the mark of the beast - all at the same time?
People who know what is to come are the ones better prepared with greater faith, fervent prayer and able to help those in need during the time of test.
I strongly suggest that those who believe that in These Times what is needed is (false) positivism, should think about if they are prepared to give good fruits in the middle of the Tribulation. Remember, character is formed through the adversities we find in our lives, and These Times can be hardly called "positive" in the short term analysis.
Were the prophets of the Old Testament lacking the illumination of the Holy Spirit? Did they not suffer because the announcements they made in the Name of God where not heard? In such situation the only joy we can expect to have is to know that one is fulfilling the Will of God and that a few, the Elect, will listen and act upon the warnings and recommendations thus minimizing their suffering.
"Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth
not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by
it, the most peaceable fruit of justice." [Hebrews 12:11].
My the Holy Spirit of God help you understand the full message of this response.
