There have been problems with our mail delivery service - sometimes it does not even make the Spam Folder of a recipient and is not even returned to us. That means that we have no way of knowing if it reached its destination.
In addition, all mail addressed to a Yahoo mail address is being bounced back because of a Yahoo failure - not ours.
Therefore, if you miss one of our regular mailings, remember that:
The Divine Encouragement - Mon., Wed., & Fri. mailing is

and that...
The For Your Information and Reference - Tue., Th., & Sat. mailing is

The contents of the last document posted.... on the Board will make much more sense now that more events/agendas are on the open.
Seven years after its publication you will now be able to clearly see
The Real Roots of the One World Order
and its solid Germanic Foundation and understand what is really going on within the Western
Powers.
Remember, 'Knowledge is Power'. In this case "Power" means the power to protect oneself from spiritual, psychological and physical harm.
The Honeymoon.... between the two Koreas is becoming more torrid (1) while every type of attack against Russia (2) - short of using weapons - is increasing daily.
When a massive and sustained public relations effort is launched to turn the public opinion against a real or fabricated enemy, military action usually follows.
The balance continues to be tilting towards a Nuclear Apocalypse. This should be more than enough reason to pray more!

The Gospel associated with the Mass honoring St. Mark - Mark 16:15-20 - is one of those Gospel readings which, if not explained, the subconscious will use it to weaken the faith because what it states appears unrealistic and impossible - by word and personal experiences. Let us take a look at the key verses within the whole Gospel reading [Mark 16: 15-18]:
And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He
that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. And
these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall
speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.
First, it contains a very important message: Baptism is not an absolute requirement for salvation, however, the acknowledgment that Jesus Christ is our Savior IS a requirement.
Some of you may already be shocked at our statement regarding baptism so we will use a very simple validation example so you regain your composure.
At the time of the Crucifixion we read:
[39] And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save
thyself and us. [40] But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God,
seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. [42] And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. [43] And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. [Luke 23]
[41] And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. [42] And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. [43] And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. [Luke 23]
Obviously the converted robber had not been baptized but he had no doubt about Who Jesus was - so he was saved.
Now, let us explain it more current and easy to relate terms. A soldier is in the battlefield; he has never been baptized because his parents were not believers. He gets hit and is about to die... but he is still conscious. At that very moment - because prayers offered by people he has never seen or heard about - he recognizes Jesus as our Savior and acknowledges it before expiring. He will be in Paradise with Jesus just like the robber crucified next to Him.
[Remember that scenario when you are praying or offering sacrifices for the conversion of (faceless to you but not to God) sinners. You will only know how many you helped at the very last moment of their lives when you cross the veil and meet them.]
Now, someone may have this question: "What would have happened if that soldier was instantly killed without the opportunity to recognize Jesus as his Savior?"
Here is how that works: If that soldier is counted amongst the Elect - that is, he is already in Paradise in the Eternal Time Frame - before the final body and soul separation he will have the opportunity to make such acknowledgment even if he unconscious/dead to the world.
Now, moving on to the second part of the reading which is the part that subconsciously affects the faith in a very negative manner....
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they
shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall
recover.
According to that statement, if you are a believer you should be able to do all of it in Jesus' Name. Do we have anyone among our readers who has consciously done any of that? Most likely not... yet we know that you are true believers.
Here is how that works - based in many personal experiences: If you find yourself in any of those situations, not by your own doing just to test God but by circumstances beyond your control, any of that will be possible to a true believer by invoking the Holy Name of Jesus.
I would even add a couple more from personal experiences: (a) Become invisible (only) to someone who is a threat to you; and (b) Be able to cross through a solid object (or be transparent to a solid object hurling towards you) in order to avoid a serious tragedy. We are sure that there are many more circumstances where the laws of physics that we know do not apply - but we do not to dwell in them.
What we need to constantly dwell in is the reality of God, His Infinite Power, unmatched Love for His children and that for Him, or with Him, ALL is possible. Yes, ALL!
Should there be a question on any of the above, please let us know and we will try to answer it.
Regarding the recent request for feedback.... Although only half of the List Members responded, we will base our conclusions on them.
Actually, very little adjustments seem to be needed. They follow:
(a) Regarding 'Internet Security matters': We will leave internet security information out
of the For Your Information and Reference mailings, however, it will be sent to the few who
wish to be informed about the subject matter.
(b) Regarding 'Historical matters which have negatively affected the Faith': Such information will be limited to situations which could be useful in helping someone come back to God in spite of the many or certain institutional crimes. Unless, of course, we receive a specific request from a reader to address a particular faith related historical event.

Unless, of course, we receive a specific request from a reader to address a particular faith related historical event.
We sincerely thank those who were able to give us the feedback requested.

Let us take a look at a most important Commandment (*)....
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [Matt.22:39] [Mark 12:31] [Matt.
19:19]
_________________________
(*) Only second to "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart"
1st: Many well intentioned Christians try to live it to an extent that their own well being is
endangered.
2nd: Many well intentioned Christians are made to think that if they take some basic - spiritual, psychological and physical - care of themselves they are behaving selfishly.
3rd: The applied modified version of it are the parents who believe that their children come first in their household - even to the parents own expense.

3rd: The applied modified version of it are the parents who believe that their children come first in their household - even to the parents own expense.
Now... can you see satan's finger print on the above?
If you are going to love thy neighbor as thyself... you must love and take care of thyself first! That is not being selfish; that is being practical.
How can you save a drowning neighbor if you do not know how to swim, or do not have any energy left to swim, or are already drowning yourself?
How can you express your Christian love for thy neighbor if you do not love yourself enough to take care of yourself?
How are you going to be a parent worthy of the name if you do not take care of your own basic needs - spiritual, psychological and physical - to then be able to properly raise your children?
First comes God; through Him you are strengthened; and, once strengthened, He can use you to help Him save His world.
A practical example very close to me....
My daughter is a High School Counselor. She has 450 teenage students assigned to her. These students "bring with them" their parents and teachers; that is, any of those parents and/or teachers may also come to her to solve their problems with their children and/or students. She takes her responsibility very seriously - because it is. However, just as serious is the stress associated with it.
How do I apply what we have shared with you above? Always encouraging her to draw closer to God, first and foremost, and then to disconnect during her off hours - relax! Week end getaways with her husband, dinner outings with him or lady friends, quiet times at home accompanied by a glass of wine, and simply avoid any non productive stressful enterprise. I insist almost to the point of nagging her.
How does she start her day? Quiet time with the Lord with Bible on hand. Once she applies all of Dad's recommendations, then she can then go out and love those boys and girls with all her heart and work all the extra hours that need to be worked.... but I make sure that she loves herself first!
In the Gospel... associated, with the Mass offered honoring St. George, was from Matthew 10:28-33. They key verse is verse 28:
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the
One who can destroy both soul and body in hell
As terrible as abortion is before the Holy Eyes of God, the sexual abuse of children is even worse
because it can destroy the soul. Of course most never hears about it unless they run into our
documents addressing that particular issue - Child Sexual Abuse Is A
Greater Sin Than Abortion and Child Sexual Abuse Is Far Worse Than
Abortion . No, we are not making light of abortion - which is the murder of an innocent child.
We are just graphically illustrating how bad sexual abuse of children really is.Please take special note that the above does not mean that an individual who has been sexually abused is destined to hell - only those who already are in hell in the Eternal Time Frame will. However, those who are destined to Heaven may spend a very long time in Purgatory as the result of the sexual abuse if they have not been spiritually assisted before body and soul separation.
The last two documents.... posted in our Board are:

From Mrs. LM @ US
In reference to our recent mailing regarding the harvesting of organs from Syrian children (1), Mrs. LM wrote back....
My heart is aching....
LM
A. So is mine.... but, if you and I (and a few others (2)) feel that way, miserable as we are, can you then imagine how the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary feel after all that they have done for the last 200 years to get Catholicism back on pre Constantine track?
It is not only what They are witnessing now; to that add, Their knowledge of the consequences that humanity's behavior will bring upon all. I cannot stop thinking about that and try to console Them in any way that I am able to.
We invite one and all to do the same. It is the very least that we can do for Those Who love us to an extent which is incomprehensible to us.

We will be sending to each one of you a very simple questionnaire/survey to get the feedback that we do not get otherwise to ensure that my "self" is not interfering in any way with the Will of God regarding our publications and mailings.
We would greatly appreciate that you be straight forward and sincere with your responses. We always welcome constructive critism should there be any. [Should there ever be a day when I would think that everything I do is right and that I know all that I need to know, that would be the first day of my end.]
Did you hear that... NASA again missed a huge Asteroid that passed unnervingly close to Earth?
We only had a few hours of warning.
While the world was busy doing its thing on Saturday, a giant asteroid the size of a football field whizzed by our planet.
NASA scientists noticed the massive asteroid at an observatory in Arizona just 21 hours before it gave Earth a surprise too-close-for-comfort flyby.
Travelling around 106,000 kilometres per hour (66,000 miles per hour) the asteroid was as far away from Earth as half the average distance between Earth and the Moon.
The situation is especially terrifying when considering the sheer size of the asteroid - somewhere between 47 to 100 metres (157 to 360 feet) wide. That is, 3.6 times the size of the one that cleared 2,000 square kilometres (500,000 acres) of Siberian forest in 1908.
And that Siberain asteroid was estimated to have produced about 185 times more energy than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Comments: Hardly enough time to go buy oil for our lamps...

(1) Report
From miguel de Portugal
We have read the entire Apostolic Exortation GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE (1) and here are some brief comments that we feel we should make:
(a) The wording and text surpass the intellectual capabilities of Francis based on what we have seen in several extensive interviews that he has had.
(b) Most theological concepts and explanations seem to have been taken from our pages - even the much mentioned by us lamps and their lack of oil. This is not the first time we have seen this. Now they are even heavily promoting exorcism - something that we have been doing long before Francis assumed the Vatican stage.
Even though John Paul II and I were on "the same page" in his first ten Encyclicals, they never looked as having been taken from the material that we were publishing via regular mail (not Internet) in those days - with the Vatican included in some of the mailing lists.
(c) The description of satan/devil/evil and how it affects humanity is right on target.
Nonetheles...
(d) The usual causes for scandal appear well hidden within the truths to be found in such exhortation. For example, in paragrpah no. 160 we read:
We will not admit the existence of the devil if we insist on regarding life by empirical
standards alone, without a supernatural understanding. It is precisely the conviction that this
malign power is present in our midst that enables us to understand how evil can at times have so
much destructive force. True enough, the biblical authors had limited conceptual
resources for expressing certain realities, and in Jesus’ time epilepsy, for example, could
easily be confused with demonic possession. Yet this should not lead us to an
oversimplification that would conclude that all the cases related in the Gospel had to do with
psychological disorders and hence that the devil does not exist or is not at work.
Notice the above underlined part. The author of the text is referring to the following Biblical text:
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before
him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth
often into the fire, and often into the water.... Then Jesus answered.... bring him hither to me.
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
[Matthew 17:14-17]
In a very subtle manner the author is planting in the soul of the Faithful the corrupting doubt that many of the miracles that we read about in the Gospels were because "the biblical authors had limited conceptual resources for expressing certain realities, and in Jesus’ time epilepsy, for example, could easily be confused with demonic possession"
We should not be surprised at that since, as we have read in many places that:
"....the new superior of the worldwide Jesuit religious order, Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal (the
Black Pope (2)), claims that despite Jesus Christ's words about marriage
(Matthew 19: 3-9), 'no one had a recorder to take down his words,' which must be 'contextualized,'
and that doctrine implies a 'hardness' like 'stone' while 'human reality is much more nuanced' and
'never black and white.' "(3)
In other words, according to them, and obviously based on new age philosophy, the Gospel is to be adjusted to fit our need, desires, deviations and, above all, agendas!

The perfect example... of practicing hollow faith as the public pays tribute at Stephen Hawking's funeral.
When the hearse carrying the body of Professor Stephen Hawking arrived at the university church
of St. Mary the Great in Cambridge, the bell rang 76 times - to mark each year of the renowned
physicist's life. Hawking's family invited around 500 guests for the private service.
Hawking was an atheist. "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail," he once told The Guardian. "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." But because of his deep ties to Cambridge University, his family chose the customary Church of England service given to longtime fellows here. (1)

Comment: Who cares? No one does! It is just a show - yet all pretend to have "some sort" of faith.
What next, is someone going to symbolically baptize satan in the hopes of his conversion?
(sarcasm on) Never mind the scandal Jesus warned us about, after all, the Black Pope says it is never black and white and that Jesus did not have a tape recorder. It's just a matter of contextualized opinion! (sarcasm off)

The 'Missing Link' between.... Bergoglio, known as Pope Francis, and Escrivá -
the abomination of desolation (1) - has been brought to our attention via a
respected by many Spanish Catholic publication. Our translation of the original
(2) follows:
The rest is part of Bergoglio's history....
[Bergoglio challenged Escrivá: "If you are holy, take me out of this well, out of this hole." and next morning...]
An that, brothers and sisters, is how satan fast tracks whomever he needs to use (from an obscure auxiliary Bishop - from an almost Third World country - to almost the Chair of Peter in 13 years!) That is, if God allows it.... which He did.
Do notice that just as God kept Clinton in office for two terms (8 years) - against all odds - to delay the Globalization effort, He also kept Bergoglio away from the the Chair of Peter for eight years by placing Ratzinger on it. When the eight years were finished, Ratzinger resigned.
Eight years in two very related cases... a coincidence? Hardly! If Bergoglio had assumed the Chair of Peter in the year 2005 - not even the Elect could be saved at the End.

Yesterday's Mass readings - Acts 6:8-15 and Jn 6:22-29 - fit so very well our world today that we can almost hear Jesus saying: "What part of this haven't most of you understood yet?"
In the reading of the Acts of the Apsotles we see Stephen taking on certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen,
Cyreneans, and Alexandrians, as well as people from Cilicia and Asia... and they just could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
So.... what did they do? Exactly the same things politicians and the manipulated press as well as the professional agitators do today...
....and has been done since truly Godless men (regardless of what faith they may claim) have walked the Earth.... which, of course, is most of humanity.
Which Jesus confirms through the Gospel that follows.
Most will believe in whatever or whomever fills their belly or justify their actions and not in the Word of God. If only a small percentage believed in the Word of God - defining 'believe' as: striving to live it - we would not recognize the world today.
Nothing has changed! Only a Divine Reset will! Come Lord Jesus and renew the face of the Earth!
and last, but certainly not least....
The Opus Dei Procurator in Rome, Carlos Nannei, spoke in a conference about his relationship with
Pope Francis, which dates back to 1992. Nannei tells how the relationship between Cardinal
Bergoglio and Escrivá was: From believing that he was not a saint to kneeling before his
grave.
...
Nannei tells how he met Bergoglio in 1993 who related to him his relationship with St. Josemaría Escrivá. These are the words that, according to Nannei, Bergoglio pronounced:
The next day the Nuncio calls him in Argentina to tell him that the Pope had appointed him auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. Bergoglio continues:
...
Nannei tells how he met Bergoglio in 1993 who related to him his relationship with St. Josemaría Escrivá. These are the words that, according to Nannei, Bergoglio pronounced:
"The beatification of Escrivá was about to take place and I thought he was not a saint, because
of so many slanderous campaigns against him. I was suffering much. I lived in Cordoba, in a Jesuit
residence, and in a moment of spiritual turbulence. When I learned that they were going to beatify
Josemaría Escrivá I challenged him: If you are holy, take me out of this well, out of this
hole."
The next day the Nuncio calls him in Argentina to tell him that the Pope had appointed him auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. Bergoglio continues:
"I was stunned and that's when my relationship with Josemaría Escrivá began. First I asked for
his forgiveness, and second I started to include him in the Mass; whenever I celebrate Mass alone
I use the Roman Canon and when I say '...Lino, Cleto, Clemente ...' I started to include
Josemaría, I do not know if it is liturgical or not ... "
The rest is part of Bergoglio's history....
Bergoglio was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969.
From 1973 to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits).
(he was on stand-by from from 1979 to 1992)

Have you heard that... the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley made the case for the strikes in Syria saying that the U.S. and allies acted "not as revenge, not as punishment, not as a symbolic show of force" ? (1)
"We acted to deter the future use of chemical weapons by holding the Syrian regime responsible for
its atrocities against humanity", she said.
"I spoke to the president this morning," Haley said, referring to Mr. Trump, "and he said if the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded."
"I spoke to the president this morning," Haley said, referring to Mr. Trump, "and he said if the Syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again, the United States is locked and loaded."
Comments: Of course, no one has confirmed that chemical weapons were used. Some claim that the submerged US government manipulated Mr. Trump to strike Syria using that as an excuse. That is the exact same thing that was done to Mr. Bush to cause him to invade Iraq and find no weapons of mass destruction anywhere.
Now - for the proof of the pudding, as the saying goes....
If the Syrian regime did indeed use chemical weapons, they would not be stupid enough to do it again after what happened to them last Saturday night. If indeed the US submerged government is bent on doing in Syria what they did in Iraq there will be another alleged use of the non existing chemical weapons.
satan has it so easy... just as he had it when he ensure that Stephen be stoned to death.

In yesterday's Gospel - John 6:1-15 - we again read about the multiplication of the bread and fish we are all so familiar with. At the very end of the Gospel we read what seems to be a rather unimportant passage:
The message: Do not waste or misuse the benefits God has bestowed upon you. Save them for another time, otherwise they may not be available the next time you may need them.
We have witnessed at least two instances - which come to mind now because of the magnitude of the events. In these two cases individuals who were well rewarded by God for extending a generous help for the ministry God had called me to fulfill, misused the Heavenly rewards and the consequences were and still are very serious (*). That is why we say that I had know the reality of the message the Gospel gives us in this particular reading without having realized that it was in the Gospel until yesterday.

Have you heard that... Congressman Gowdy claims that a ‘Secret society’ within FBI, DOJ trying to take Trump down? (1)
Comment: Every day that goes by such reality becomes more obvious even to those who would have laughed at it a couple of years ago. What they have not been able to do is connect the dots and realize that the objective of such "submerged government" - as it is sometimes called. Their objective is to bring the U.S. into line with the Globalization plans of the World Masters even if they have to bring the US down as they are trying now causing a military conflict between the US and Russia. Today's attack on Syria may just open the proverbial door to that.
God symbolically prevented the Globalization concept from taking place once before - the objective of the mythical Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) - and He will not allow its manifestation again. This time He will use a much harsher method than breaking down the communications among the builders. May those who have Eyes, See and Ears; Hear.... thus, pray more!

In yesterday's Gospel - John 6:1-15 - we again read about the multiplication of the bread and fish we are all so familiar with. At the very end of the Gospel we read what seems to be a rather unimportant passage:
When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so
that nothing will be wasted." So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with
fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.
Have you ever stopped to think why that was so important as to be included here? As it turned out
- we have known the message it contains for at least two decades but have never realized that it
was in the Holy Scriptures until yesterday.The message: Do not waste or misuse the benefits God has bestowed upon you. Save them for another time, otherwise they may not be available the next time you may need them.
We have witnessed at least two instances - which come to mind now because of the magnitude of the events. In these two cases individuals who were well rewarded by God for extending a generous help for the ministry God had called me to fulfill, misused the Heavenly rewards and the consequences were and still are very serious (*). That is why we say that I had know the reality of the message the Gospel gives us in this particular reading without having realized that it was in the Gospel until yesterday.

Now that FOX News is calling the attention of its readers to the latest claim that the rogue and
elusive planet Nibiru will seriously affect our planet this coming week end....
....maybe a quick read through our document dealing with such
catastrophism may help our readers place all in better perspective. It is hard to believe that FOX
News gets involved in this tabloid type fare.

Have you heard that... Congressman Gowdy claims that a ‘Secret society’ within FBI, DOJ trying to take Trump down? (1)
House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) claims ‘lost’ text messages
between two FBI staffers, disparaging President Trump, made reference to a “secret society”
within the Executive Branch of the US government.
On Monday, Gowdy said that the text messages, between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, mentioned a “secret society” of people within the DOJ and FBI working against President Donald Trump and called for an explanation for the reference.
John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) reiterated this sentiment saying the exchange highlighted the “manifest bias” among top FBI officials.

Comment: Every day that goes by such reality becomes more obvious even to those who would have laughed at it a couple of years ago. What they have not been able to do is connect the dots and realize that the objective of such "submerged government" - as it is sometimes called. Their objective is to bring the U.S. into line with the Globalization plans of the World Masters even if they have to bring the US down as they are trying now causing a military conflict between the US and Russia. Today's attack on Syria may just open the proverbial door to that.
God symbolically prevented the Globalization concept from taking place once before - the objective of the mythical Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) - and He will not allow its manifestation again. This time He will use a much harsher method than breaking down the communications among the builders. May those who have Eyes, See and Ears; Hear.... thus, pray more!

Greetings In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I wanted to write to you and share what has been happening with me of late. I was led to your web site after watching a program on the History Channel, I believe, about the Blessed Virgin. Although its content and innuendo obviously were aimed at distorting Marian devotion, it prompted me to do a web search and I found your site. I devoured it! You verbalize so many things that have been on my mind, and call attention to the state of things I was beginning to think that only I was noticing.
My bothers and sisters, I thank God that you are there!
I am one of the so called “Cradle Catholics” and had wandered far from the institutional church, however not the faith. The flame was dim from despair of the situation in our Church, but it was not extinguished. Your web site was as a breeze to the embers of faith within me. As I read more and more, I felt compelled to locate my Rosary. I've had the same one since my First Communion some 40 plus years ago in the era of the Tridentine Mass. It had fallen into disuse years ago, but I had always taken notice of it as I changed my residence and was deployed across the country and world as a soldier; always taking care to make sure it made the move with me and I could account for its location.
I began to pray it again, although I must humbly admit I had to print out your web page on the prayers and mysteries as my memory of them had dimmed a bit. My prayer life has increased 100 fold! I returned to attending Mass again. I prayed for a confessor and sought out a Priest and made my confession, the first in many, many years. I received the Holy Eucharist for the first time in a state of grace in an equally long period of time. My heart leapt and my eyes filled with tears of joy as the Blessed Host was raised before me. I felt truly like the Prodigal Son returning to the Father.
His Grace and Mercy continued to pour out on me. I was able for the first time in 5 years to speak to my wife about my faith and what was happening to me. She attended Mass with me at Christmas. She had mentioned my using my Rosary in passing one day and that she didn't know the prayers to pray it. I explained what they were and how it was prayed.
......
Thank you for letting me share the above with you. Offer a prayer for me, if it pleases you, that I may continue on the road God has called me back to. I will offer mine for you as well.
Yours In Christ Jesus,
DN

A. Glad to have been here for you to help you in your Prodigal Son return journey to the Father. Thank you! for allowing us to share your letter with all.
The first thing in your communication that struck us was your name - Daniel as the prophet we frequently talk about regarding his interpreting the handwriting on the wall. The second name was no less striking - Noe, which is the Spanish and Portuguese translation of Noah...., yes, "the Noah" so well known for the Ark and the deluge.
It is obvious that you were graced with having placed your faith in God - not on an institution
and/or men. Even though the flame of your faith was dim from despair as the result of the
situation in the Roman Catholic Church, .... it was not extinguished. If your faith had not been
well anchored in God, the return would have been very difficult... How can one "return" to where
one never was? When our faith is fundamented upon the Rock of Christ, nothing, but nothing!,
can possibly snuff it out.
As we have also said - organized religion has a very definite and needed function - to
teach and spread the Good News - but is never to take the place of God. Just as the "The
Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" [Mark 2:27], the
Church was made for man, and not man for the Church. Man was created exclusively by and for
God!
In closing - you may be assured of our prayers as they will accompany you all the way Home.

The only way that the government can keep its citizens ("We the people") from becoming a nation of paranoids is by debunking Conspiracy Theories which, in reality, are not just theories.... and that makes sense.
What does not make sense to us is that, since April 1st there has been a rush to read our document "We, the people" to the extent that it became the fourth most visited document in our domain. All we know is that the traffic may have been spurred by a post on someone's Facebook account but there is no trace regarding what country the traffic generated was from.

In the Gospel.... of yesterday's Mass [John 3:16-21] we read:
As we have mentioned before when quoting other parts of the Gospel.... The above gives many a false sense of security because the key to it is the definition of "believing in Him" which only is one: "striving to live His Word".
We should all make an effort so that - as the opportunity arises - we clarify to our brothers and sisters the reality that Salvation is not an automatic process once one's name has ben entered into a church official ledger.
Also, you must remind whomever is willing to listen to you that the often heard/read term "only-begotten Son of God" is not just a literary expression. It clearly states that Jesus is the only Way to the Father and that there is only One of Him - not different versions of Him.
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him
might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

Our comments regarding Francis latest Apostolic Exhortation - GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE - that were published yesterday were not an evaluation of the entire Exhortation since we have not read it with the exception of the paragraphs where the words "hell" and "devil" appeared. Once we read the entire text we will comment upon it as a whole.

Once we read the entire text we will comment upon it as a whole.
In a recent Mass.... we read the Gospel [John 20:19-31] in which Jesus appeared to His disciples at time when Thomas was absent.
Then ...
...a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although
the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."
Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."
Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."
Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
This gave poor Thomas the reputation of being a doubter - the proverbial "doubting Thomas". Someone that 'had to see to believe'. Then, the Faithful "walk away" from that Gospel thinking that the others were Blessed [Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed] and Thomas was not.
Really? What about the time when those same ones in that same room - now thought of as being Blessed believers - did not believe Mary Magdalene nor the two who met Jesus on their way to Emaus [Mark 16:9-15] when they came and told them that they had seen and spoken to Jesus?
How many of you have fallen for the promoted error that Thomas was a doubter while the rest were Blessed believers?
Are you aware that.... in a well "swept under the carpet" comprehensive global study of sexual behavior, British researchers radically demolished some preconceptions about sexual behavior?
They had expected to find the most promiscuous behavior in regions - like Africa - with the
highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases. However, that was not the case, as multiple
partners were more commonly reported in industrialized countries where the incidence of such
diseases was relatively low.
“There’s a misperception that there’s a great deal of promiscuity in Africa, which is one of the potential reasons for HIV/AIDS spreading so rapidly,” said Dr. Paul van Look, director of Reproductive Health and Research at the World Health Organization, who was not connected to the study. “But that view is not supported by the evidence.” (1)

What then?
Perhaps what Kenyan ecologist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, claim is true: the AIDS virus was a deliberately created biological agent.
"Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with
monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.
"Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet," Ms Maathai told a press
conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing
deforestation across Africa. (2)
That she is biased because she is African and black? Hardly! After all....
On April 21, 2003, an article was published in reputable newspapers exposing the reality that a
South African scientist was offering for sale to the FBI deadly bacteria.
This traveling salesman of death travels the world selling, to the best bidder, what was
developed under his directorship - during the apartheid days in South Africa - to allegedly
decimate their "undesirable population". (3)
Brethren, we do not posses enough imagination to come up with such perfectly matching stories nor the manpower to search for them in the Internet. Only God can do it for those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear.
May God have Mercy on His Elect!

Have you heard that.... a priest spent $45K on indoor pool for lavish estate?
A Catholic priest accused of embezzling more than $5 million from his central Michigan church
spent about $100,000 on an indoor swimming pool and stained glass windows for his six-bedroom,
12-bathroom home, according to a lawsuit seeking to recoup some of the money.
In addition to the $45,000 indoor pool and nearly $55,000 in stained glass windows, the Rev. Jonathan Wehrle spent more than $134,000 on landscaping at his 10-acre (4-hectare) estate in Williamston and other properties, according to the lawsuit filed by Princeton Excess and Surplus Lines Insurance Corporation, which insures the Catholic Diocese of Lansing.

Comments: Obviously the man is deranged, but that is not our real concern. Our real concern is that the Bishop under which he served did not realize that this man was insane and that he was stealing money from the parish.
Should we be surprised how the abuse of children went undetected for so long? "Long" as in centuries!
Remember this - not unique - story the next time you tithe in your local parish so as not to fall in the same trap miguel fell very early after his conversion... before his eyes had been opened to what a financial scam institutionalized religion was - always noting very few exceptions.

In Friday's Mass Gospel reading - Jn 21:1-14 - Jesus again revealed himself to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
As in all previous ones He could not be recognized by the way He looked.
Have you ever wondered why or what message He was delivering to them, and is to us?
He is alerting us that in our lifetime we will actually come face to face with Him, even though we may not recognize Him by the way He will manifest Himself. Now read the following words from Him and you will then fully understand what He meant:
I can vouch for such reality since I have experienced it without being aware of it at the time. Just yesterday - over 30 years later - I have realized that in one of the instances He actually tested me in the fulfillment of the following repeated message...
....since I was delaying my entering into Mass while tending to this poor man laying on the ground by the door of the church. When all was said and done and I finally entered into the church to participate into what I thought was a Mass almost a third of the way through, Lo and Behold! the Mass was about to start. Time had been stopped by God since the Mass was staring at the right time.
Please, do not take this information lightly. I cannot begin to imagine how I would feel if, after crossing the veil, He showed me the times - even if it were only one - that I turned my back to Him while on this side of the veil.
Have you heard that.... the Center for Disease Control (CDC) just found 'nightmare bacteria' in 27 states? (1)

For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a
stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in
prison, and you came to me. Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee
hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger, and took
thee in? or naked, and covered thee? Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of
these my least brethren, you did it to me. [Matthew 25:35-40]
I can vouch for such reality since I have experienced it without being aware of it at the time. Just yesterday - over 30 years later - I have realized that in one of the instances He actually tested me in the fulfillment of the following repeated message...
Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice.
For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.[Matthew 9:13]
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts. [Hosea 6:6]
And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent. [Matthew 12:7]

This week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report warning of over
221 new instances of superbug infections involving “nightmare bacteria” in 2017 - a number
that’s startling given that at present there are just 12 superbug infections recognized by the
World Health Organization. The term “nightmare bacteria” has been used in the past to describe
these especially rare antibiotic resistant genes - it continues to apply.
Comment: We shared this news report (1) with a collaborator who had been a nurse all her professional life - hospital and nursing homes service included - and this is what she responded:
When I retired in July, 2012, all of the suberbugs described in the

They’ve been around a lot longer than people realize.
That is how well informed the public is even on life and death matters.

Previous research has found babies more likely to die in the U.S. than in other developed and affluent nations, but the current study offers fresh evidence that this is true even for infants born at the very end of pregnancy when they should have excellent survival odds.

In the Holiest Season of the year and in what has to be one of the most moving Liturgy of the Easter Triduum - the Easter Sunday Vigil Mass - satan slipped his poison and the Faithful - blindly obedient by decree - intone it every single year.
In The Exsúltet of Easter Vigil Mass the Faithful joyfully proclaim:
That is - the faithful are inspired to rejoice about the fall of man so that we could gain such a redeemer as Jesus. A necessary sin? This is sheer insanity.
Brethren, we must remember that the brain is to be used, under the illumination of the Holy Spirit of God, to draw closer to God while avoiding the snares of satan, which are everywhere.
Believe it or not but..... Former President Clinton has publicly admitted to meddling in Israel's 1996 elections.
Comment: Let's see how the World Masters manage to blame Mr. Trump and the Russians for such behavior by a sitting U.S. President back in 1996. (sarcasm on) They may even resort to the Parallel Universe theory. (sarcasm off)
We do have to admit, however, that such action contributed to the often referred to ten year delay for the establishment of the New World Order - thus ten less years of intense suffering.

Believe it or not but..... Former President Clinton has publicly admitted to meddling in Israel's 1996 elections.
At a time when the United States continues to be embroiled in a lengthy investigation into alleged
Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections, former US President Bill Clinton admitted
that he himself once meddled in a foreign election, specifically in Israel. Clinton’s
interference in Israeli elections would be the first of two times in which a sitting Democratic US
President would make an apparent attempt to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Clinton made the revelations in an interview published on Tuesday and conducted by Israel’s Channel 10, in which worked to boost the campaign of the late Israeli President Shimon Peres during Israeli elections in 1996. That year, Is
“It would be fair to say that I tried to help Peres win the elections, and I tried to help him in such a way that I would not be openly involved,” Clinton said in the interview referring to Israeli elections in 1996. That year, the Israeli prime minister was to be elected directly for the first time on a separate ballot from the parliamentary elections. (1)

9/11 deniers, denouncers of the New World Order, anti Globalist, not to mention miguel de Portugal, (1) are called the fools of our age....
...until, of course, the theories fundamented in rock come to pass (2)....
then.... all of those who persist living in denial (3) and denounced such
behavior as foolishness will claim that they "...saw it coming."
Brethren, the rank and file of humanity is getting quite boring and repetitive.
Why should we be puzzled by the events God allows upon humanity (4) in the hopes of waking it up from the same slumber Peter, John and James surrendered to at Gethsemani? [ Matthew 26:36-45].

(2) For example and For example and For example
(3) The "joys" of denial
(4) A few examples
The reason..... that at times we forget to highlight the Devotions of the First Friday of the Month and First Saturday of the Month is because miguel de Portugal practices those devotions on every Friday and every Saturday of the month and not just the first Friday and Saturday.
No; it is not because he may think himself "holier than thou". It is because that is the least he can do to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary whose generous and eternal offers are mostly rejected by those who should know better.
Every Friday, invoking the communion of saints in union with the Mystical Parish Members, a Mass is offered as an act of reparation for the offenses committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus - offenses for which His Divine Justice demands reparation before He will work the pleasure of His Mercy on the offending souls. On Saturday likewise is done in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We encourage one and all to also do so. We cannot offer enough acts of reparation to the Most High Who has done so much for our own benefit - certainly not for His!

From miguel de Portugal
As the result of the enhanced vision that God has granted me in relation with the pain that I have been enduring since the beginning of Lent, another apparent mystery has been resolved.
In a politically incorrect manner we must say that....
Of course there are enough conspiracy theories attempting to explain that. Those theories go from blaming the fluoride added to the tooth paste to the effects of contrails (which do exist, by the way). However, in a flash, the reason became crystal clear to me. The reason for such apparent dumbness and very real denial is the rapid decline of faith.
In very simple words....
What is taking place - at all levels and in all areas of society - is so frightening and overwhelming that unless we believe in the reality of a Supreme Power that can modulate it in response to our prayers and sacrifices, the only choice left is to go on denial.
It logically follows that, as real faith continues to die at an accelerated rate - enhanced by the addiction to the new technologies - denial must increase if we are expected to emotionally survive the fear reality would generate.
Denial - and its offspring, dumbness or numbness - causes us to not be consciously aware of what is obvious and most dangerous:
Now I fully understand why God insists that our focus - through The M+G+R Foundation publications - be: first and foremost, help revive the almost dead faith amongst Christians; and secondly, ensure that the information that we have published throughout the last twenty years is available to all of the Elect no matter where they may be in the world. They will recognize it as true and act upon it. As for the rest, the following words from Our Lord Jesus Christ...
...still applie just as they did when He uttered them. A reality that causes no discomfort to us because I could never love them as God loves them, yet, He is the One Who allows them to remain in the dark.
One of the many.... perfect examples of what we address above has to do with former President Clinton.
Mr. Clinton is an open member of and/or participates in the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg group (1). It is no secret - unless you are on full denial - that the ultimate objective of all three groups is the Globalization of the world population/government/faith.
However, another father of the Globalization effort - Mr. Gorbachev - has blamed Mr. Clinton in no uncertain terms for delaying the establishment of the New World Order by ten years. (2)
Why did that happen? Because God chose to grant us such delay so that the period of intense suffering would be reduced by those many years. How do we know that for a fact? Because it was miguel de Portugal the instrument that God used, first, to get Mr. Clinton elected and then, maintain him in office for eitght years in spite of the Lewisnky snare.
As we have said many times: When there is a will, there is a way, but.... if it is God's Will, get out of the way!!
By the way - miguel had no idea what was the purpose of the volume of communications (and many of the responses) with the White House for all those years. We only found out when Mr. Gobachev made his public complain. (2)
God is the Supreme Power that can control and modulate everything in response to our prayers and sacrifices. Unfortunately, another of Jesus' statement perfectly applies to today:
To which we add: And the talkers are just too many and very irritating.
The labourers needed are precisely those who have real faith and allow God to use their prayers, sacrifices and material resources to minimize the suffering of the world as it collapses into almost oblivion.
So we ask: Where do you stand? Your answer is to be given to God - not us.

Isn't it interesting that.... Mr. Trump - Mr. 'anti Globalization' himself - is not a member of, nor participates in the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg group? (1)
That is coherence and that is why he is being brutally attacked by them.

From (Mr.) IW @ US
During my journey toward salvation, the devil put in my head that I have suffered way more than Jesus did, physically...
I honestly believe this to be true. A few really bad days, of pain, are much better than years of pain...
However, God prevailed....
It was not so much Jesus' actual pain that mattered, but the pain of a Father Who allowed His Son to suffer it, for the good of mankind.
Score: God: 1, devil: 0

A. Thank you for sharing with us part of the struggles experienced during your journey. Quite a different perspective, but very coherent with the Divine Realm.
To that pain of the Father we must add the pain that the Virgin Mary would have to endure, and about which She was informed from the very beginning during the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple:
Regarding the Earthquakes.... for the month of March and YTD
With only three months it is hard to compare with the numbers for last year and the previous three. Nonetheless, using the actual count of earthquakes we can make the following estimates.
The level of greater than 5.0 in the Richter scale earthquakes has continued the pace set for the entire 2017 year.

There is no doubt that the masses seem to be getting dumber every day and the level of denial
continues to increase at a frightening (if one loves thy neighbor as thyself) rate.

will be lost [Matthew 25:1-12].

For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them

thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be
revealed. [Luke 2: 34-35]
