The Gospel.... on Ash Wednesday [Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18] opens with the following verses:

Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. [Matthew. 6:1]

How can we Evangelize by example without violating such explicit instruction from Jesus?

By 'performing righteous deeds' as a way of life, and not with the intent to impress those around us but, with the intent to do what is right, thus pleasing, in the Eyes of God.

We should be concerned about pleasing God and not offending Him, most specially through causing scandal among those around us.

From Mrs. LM @ US

I stumbled across an article in Catholic Culture. It was a commentary about the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) which was established by Saul Alinsky, Roman Catholic Bishop Bernard James Sheil and, businessman and founder of the Chicago Sun-Times, Marshall Field III. The article stated:

“..this commentary was prepared in response to proposed changes in The Catholic Campaign on Human Development (CCHD) guidelines. It provides information about the IAF which received the largest percentage of CHD grants of any CHD granter between 1992-1997.”

It goes on to state that the philosophy behind the newly established CHD had been influenced by the Catholic leaders, who in turn had been influenced by Alinsky and the IAF, as well as Saul Alinsky's Book: "Rules for Radicals" which was also read by Mr. Obama.

The book opens with a quote about Lucifer, written by Saul Alinsky, calling Lucifer the very first radical.

At the end of that particular section of the article, the unknown author states that the IAF should no longer receive CHD grants. Some Catholic churches, severed their affiliation with the IAF, but some did not and continued their ties with them. These churches are all over the US.

So, “Christian USA,” has brought Divine Justice upon itself and God has given Satan a free hand, right?

LM

A. It is not only "Christian USA" who has caused God to step back and allow the wheels of Divine Justice to go into motion - every nation in the world, in their own way, have done their part with the European nations at the lead.

Let us refresh everyone's memory about the key portions of the Message of LaSalette which will now make even more sense:

The Secret of La Salette (4)

"The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity".
....

"God will strike in an unprecedented way".

"Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! God will exhaust His wrath upon them, and no one will be able to escape so many afflictions together".

" The chiefs, the leaders of the people of God have neglected prayer and penance, and the devil has bedimmed their intelligence".
...

"The society of men is on the eve of the most terrible scourges and of gravest events. Mankind must expect to be ruled with an iron rod and to drink from the chalice of the wrath of God".

......

"In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell; they will put an end to faith little by little, even in those dedicated to God. They will blind them in such a way, that, unless they are blessed with a special grace, these people will take on the spirit of these angels of hell; several religious institutions will lose all faith and will lose many souls".
....

" As the holy Faith of God is forgotten, every individual will wish to be his own guide and be superior to his fellow-men. Civil and Ecclesiastical authority will be abolished. All order and all justice will be trampled underfoot. Nothing will be seen but murder, hatred, jealousy, falsehood and discord without love for the mother country or for the family".
...

"All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principle, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds".

....

"The seasons will be altered, the earth will produce nothing but bad fruit, the stars will lose their regular motion, the moon will only reflect a faint reddish glow. Water and fire will give the earth's globe convulsions and terrible earthquakes which will swallow up mountains, cities, etc.. Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist".

...

"Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious diseases. It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up countries."
....

"The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be led astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening; only faith will survive."

"Now is the time, the abyss is opening. Here is the king of kings of darkness, here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael".
...

"And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified."

From miguel de Portugal

God never ceases to amaze me!

As you have read already, the core of yesterday's Divine Encouragement was the need to have more faith in Him. As it always is the case, I do not select what will be published in any day - He does.... and, as it is frequently the case, yesterday's Mass Gospel [Mark 9:14-29] core message also matched the day's Divine Encouragement message.

And we quote the Gospel:

“O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you?”

and

“‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.” Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!”

Considering the "providential match" I suggest that all of us take that reminder very seriously.

Another interesting aspect that we can find in that Gospel may be found in the following verses:

"I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so."

and

"“Why could we not drive the spirit out?” He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”"

Was Jesus fasting? Was Jesus praying? Of course no! Then, why was He able to drive the evil spirit out? Because when Jesus spoke, it was the Word of God and what the Word of God commands simply happens - just like the Universe came into being.

But wait! Did He not also say....:?

"Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do. Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do" [John 14:12-13]

Do we have a Divine contradiction here?

No, we do not. Jesus had not gone to the Father yet.

With that said.... Do you realize the power God has placed on the hands of those who truly believe in Jesus and what He really Is?

The only conditional is that we must defer the manifestation - in manner and time - of whatever we ask to the Will of God.

As the U.S. approached..... the Presidential Elections of 2016, we published a document that should be a 'must read' document now.

It will help understand what has politically happened since then - including the Opus Dei falling off from favor - and what is ahead.

Although is was originally composed by miguel de Portugal as inspired by God, we found it even more interesting and coherent now.

In the First Reading.... of today's Mass [Ecclesiastics 2:1-11] the first six verses read:

My son, when you come to serve the LORD, stand in justice and love, prepare yourself for trials.

Be sincere of heart and steadfast, incline your ear and receive the word of understanding, undisturbed in time of adversity. Wait on God, with patience, cling to him, forsake him not; thus will you be wise in all your ways.

Accept whatever befalls you, when sorrowful, be steadfast, and in crushing misfortune be patient; For in fire gold and silver are tested, and worthy people in the crucible of humiliation.

Trust God and God will help you; trust in him, and he will direct your way; keep his love and grow old therein. [Ecclesiastics 2:1-6]

No; it is not just pious talk. That is exactly the way it really is and, if we follow those crystal clear instructions, the outcome will always be the best.

How do we know with absolute certainty? Because miguel has lived all of it and God always came through - always - without fail!!

From miguel de Portugal

In accordance to the new Judeo Christian New Liturgical Calendar, based on the one that Jesus used, we will begin Lent tomorrow, February 27th. Our Mass reading commentaries will be primarily based on such schedule.

February 23rd

From Mrs. BB @ US
[excerpt from lengthy private communication]

.....

I love God so much and want to give Him Glory.

I'm so tired of appearing crazy.

BB

A. We are sorry about your tiredness about appearing crazy to others, but that is a price to be paid the closer we get to Him.

It can be tempered when we apply what He taught us:

Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you." [Matthew 7:6]

The above quote does not necessarily mean that all "dogs" and "swine" are symbols of unbelievers or bad individuals. It can also be interpreted as those who do not have the same level of spiritual development and closeness to God as the one giving what is holy and casting the pearls.

Haven't you noticed that we sometimes make statements on the mailed posts with a note stating that "The following will not be on the online version" before we share something only with our list members? That is the reason.

From miguel de Portugal

In yesterday's Divine Encouragement post we read:

(the name of "Jesus") Uttered aloud, or in the silence of your hearts, it will alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of Love.

That might sound like science fiction or coming from a super creative Hollywood script writer, however, we want to assure you with absolute certainty that is true. It works that way, even when it happens in the silence of our hearts - we know the supernatural mechanism. So, believe!

From Mrs. IW @ US

A while back you stated something about the Salesians were a group to avoid so I called them to remove me from their mailing list. They admitted to having sold or given my name to other charities. Shocked by all the many requests I receive, I am wondering if you have a list of any others that should be avoided.

Many say they desperately need food money for homeless children, and others are for Indian schools, missions all over the world, etc.

Some offer beautiful birthday and other occasion mass cards, but non Catholics do not joyfully receive such cards. If they would just sell some pretty cards without the masses I wonder if they would make much money doing so. Some of us have non Catholic friends of course.

I went to a charity site online and found out the head, or CEO, whatever, had been paid over $400,000!

Since the religious charities don't have to report such information I decided to call to see what I could find out, such as salary, endowment funds, fundraising %, etc.

Well usually the person in the donation department did not have the information I requested. They offered to take my name and have someone call back, which I don't like to do since I don't own a smartphone that travels with me. The Indian schools did tell me their endowment amounts which they use to help send the graduates to college they said.

Do you have information on any more Catholic charities/missionaries, etc., asking for money?

IW

A. Allow us to take the chance of being acused of non humilty and arrogance, but this is the most graphic way that we can answer your question in general terms.

As I was preparing the leave the world at the invitation from God, whatever I still owned of value - jewlery, artwork and cash - I gave to Catholic "charities". My eyes were still not wide open - even Opus Dei front organizations benefited from it as well as religious-lay organizations promoting (actually using) Marian Apparitions to raise funds.

We are not talking of just "bubbles, bangles and beads". I had custom fabricated a hefty solid silver halo for a 2/3 actual size statue of Mary upon which twelve gold stars we applied. Each star was set with a one third carat naturally pink diamond. That was used by the recipients as a collateral for some builddings to further their scams.

I was never able to benefit from all the tax credits I got from the IRS for all that was given away between 1985 through 1991 - that is how much it was.... and most of it reached the wrong hands... including the solid gold Rosary - which was a gift to me - that we gave to Mother Angelica before she and EWTN were commandeered by the Opus Dei.

If I were in those "giving shoes" now - with all that I have seen and be showned by God - this is what I would do regarding charities...

1. Ask God to guide your giving hand.
2. Help those within your reach - those whose need you can see, as well as evaluate the appropriate application of the help.

(a) poor families
(b) individuals
(c) priests and nuns who are truly doing God's work - they are very few but they do exist.
(d) local "soup kitchens"

3. As far as cards - what we would do is get some Christian cards - which apply to all Christians and not just Catholics - and send it to whomever with a note reading something like: I have donated two grocery bags of food to XYZ Soup Kitchen for your Spiritual benefit; or I have helped Rev. So and So for a day at Such and Such Bazzar to raise funds for the homeless children for your Spiritual benefit; or, specifically for a Catholic friend - Today I have offered the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary for your Temporal and Spiritual benefit.

Before you give any financial assitance to any Roman Catholic group remember that the U.S. Roman Catholic Church (RCC) spent nearly three billion dollars (1) as 'the price' for raping our children. Do you want to keep helping them? And, if the US RCC had the money for such an expense, consider the fact that the US RCC is poor compared with what they hold in Europe. Remember - we are speaking from 'ground zero' and not from the interior of an air conditioned tour bus.

The faithful have "been had", in more ways than one, for 1,600 years. It is time that they wake up and start helping those in need and those who truly serve Christ (individual priests and nuns included, of course) and not pay for the carnal luxuries of the children of Babylon - those who exploit the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary to their benefit.

From miguel de Portugal

If you really know miguel de Portugal you would know that staying out of the spotlight has been one of his trademarks. Of course, that could have the down side of not getting God's directives out to all who God Wills he does by being an unknown name.

Well, the Good Lord took care of that. We were searching for someone else with the same name - Miguel de Portugal - in Google, and this is what we found out:

There were about 194,000,000 results (0.52 seconds) and the first one was....

www.mgr.org/bio.html

Oct 8, 2018 - Miguel Angel, whose given by God religious name is miguel de Portugal, was born in the first half of the 20th century, from a lineage traceable ...

You can check for yourselves through This Link.

I was floored, as the saying goes. Only God can make that happen!

February 21st

We have prepared... a new and comprehensive Master Index of our documents. They are listed by Name and Topic.

We highly recommend getting familiar with it. It has even helped us tremendously!

In yesterday's.... first reading at Mass we read:

[21] And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done. [22] All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease. [Genesis 8]

and in today's first reading at Mass we read:

[11] I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth. [Genesis 9]

On the surface it appears that there is a contradiction between both statements. First He says that He will not do it again - "...I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done." and in the next chapter he says that: "....all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood,...".

However, there is no contradiction. In the first verses He says: "...destroy every living soul as I have done..". And how did He do it then? With water!

This is categorically confirmed by the second set when He said: "....all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a floods."

Fast forward from the First Book of the Bible to the Last Book of the Bible - Revelations - with a brief stop at the Gospel according to Luke. What do we read there?

[26] And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built. [29] And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. [Luke 17]

and

[7] And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast on the earth, and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. [8] And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and as it were a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood: [9] And the third part of those creatures died, which had life in the sea, and the third part of the ships was destroyed. [10] And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters: [Revelations 8]

Perfect coherence. This time it will not be with water; it will be with fire.

From miguel de Portugal

Have you noticed that when we begin a prayer we pray, as we cross ourselves: In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit when we should really say: For the Glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit?

We should only state: In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit when we Bless someone or an object or act in a certain manner.

When we are offering a prayer we are doing it: For the Glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Have you also noticed that when we pray the Apostle's Creed we state: ...I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,...

Although we really should state: "....suffered under the High Priest Caiphas...." After all it was Caiphas who was behind His crucifixion and not Pilate as you can see here.

These anomalies show up when we are praying with mind and heart and not just repeating words mechanically as we have been taught to do. It is amazing what becomes clear when we meditate/contemplate as we pray.

February 19th

In the pre Gospel Alleluia... of yesterday's Mass we read/hear:

I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father except through me. [John 14:6]

Such a simple line, yet, a very powerful warning/notice/judgment to all of humanity.

What "no one comes to the Father except through me" really means, in common language, is: Whomever does not accept Jesus as the true and only Messiah will simply be separated from God Eternally.

We all must, through the example of our lives, invite all who may find themselves around us, at one time or another, to accept Jesus for what He really is - The One and Only Messiah.

As we have pointed out in a lengthy document, Islam gives credit to Jesus for most of what He Is....

"O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus..." S. III. 45

"And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel." S. III. 48

"a Word from Him (God) ... Will be Christ Jesus..." S.II.45

Mohammed further stated that God the Father said:

"And (appoint him) an apostle (messenger) to the Children of Israel, (with this message): [ In the following statement it is Jesus speaking, according to Prophet Mohammed's account]

"I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's leave... (I have come to you) to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear God and obey me." S.III.49

...except for being the One and Only Messiah... and there is where their problem lies.

However, if an individual who has been "Evangelized by others' examples", at very last moment before expiring, thinks to him/herself something like: "After all, Jesus is indeed the Messiah" - he/she will make it to the Father.

Therefore, we should never prejudge anyone. We should just focus on Evangelize to all we come across by example .

From miguel de Portugal

We took it as a compliment that from all the visitors - from 50 different cities worldwide - to the New Barbarian Order alert , only 60 % went on to read the recording transcripts. The main text body must have been clear enough. May God be Praised!

The First Reading... for Sunday's Mass was from Jeremiah 17:5-8:

Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh,
whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth.

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord.

We must understand that God is not cursing anyone.

Those who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh automatically turn their hearts away from the Lord and - since there is no vacuum in the Spiritual world - satan moves in to influence them, thus becomes cursed.

In the Gospel for the same Mass - Luke 6:17, 20-26 - we read:

Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.

This does not necessarily mean financially poor. It means poor in spirit. That is almost no "self" left in him/her.

Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied.

This does not necessarily mean physically hungry. It means hungry for justice - for what is right.

Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.

This means that, when we are His, we will feel a touch of the sorrow He feels as He sees His children suffering unnecessarily.

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.

What a better way to identify those who are not of God? If they did not identify themselves clearly, we would really be in danger.

All of the above is indeed Good News! It is a shame that such Good News have been withheld from most children of God for over the last 1,600 years.

By the way, miguel de Portugal practiced his two professions for six years after his conversion (before leaving the world behind) thus was submerged in the world while inside the "Kingdom's protective bubble" (*) thus he can certify, from personal experience, all of the above... and the results were simply amazing.

________________________
(*) Said "Kingdom's protective bubble" is activated when one places - without fanaticism, but with firmness - God first, above everything and all. God will never - EVER! - abandon anyone who does that - here in the world and beyond.

February 16th

The following is.... a portrait of a turning point in history.... Apocalyptic history, that is.

When the working of satan...... is assumed to be the work of God.

Learn how to tell the difference.

Today's... Psalm response is:

In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Who can, in all sincerity, chant that five times when most continue to reject such notion by word and deed?

It would be more sincere if it read:

In every age, O Lord, you have been available as our refuge but we have rejected it by rejecting Your Word.

February 14th

From RC @ USA

The Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31 - the parable of Lazarus and the selfish rich man - reminds us why most will not believe you.

The rich man did not "get it" since he was not a Child of God. God's Children can hear Him when He calls.

God's Children are not without fault, but when the time comes, they will get the message, if for no other reason than God insists that they do; whatever it takes, God will get them to listen.

In the case of the rich man and his brothers, not only did they ignore Moses and the prophets, but truly, they would not have believed even if a man rose from the dead to tell them the truth.

The rich man and his brothers would insist that the risen man was "not a face they recognized" and that that same man lived in "an alternate reality."

If God will not give one the Grace to see, it will not happen.

For the Children of God, they know, not believe, that Miguel is right. The end of Our Times is anticlimactic at this point. We know enough to know how it ends, the details are best left to God.

Peace and Best wishes!

RC

A. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and the opportunity to Glorify God.

You stated: "...whatever it takes, God will get them to listen." That is indeed the case since "Pain is the megaphone that God uses for the deaf to hear" and, as we have stated many times, to minimize the suffering of the Elect (i.e. reduce "whatever it takes") is one of our functions. The faster the slumbering Elect wake up, the less they will suffer.

We take this opportunity to shed more light upon the referenced Gospel underscoring the fact that "If God will not give one the Grace to see, it will not happen."

The parable in question is the only parable where the main character has a name - Lazarus. Now, let us see why by highlighting a specific quotation from said parable:

"And he (Abraham) said to him (the dead rich man): If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead."

"Fast forwarding" to the Gospel according to John, Chapters 11 and 12.

In them we see that Jesus raised a dead, and already decomposing, Lazarus almost at the gates of Jerusalem. There were many witnesses and many people were converted when they witnessed Lazarus' resurrection. A little later we see that Jesus dined with Lazarus and sisters in His way to Jerusalem where He would be crucified in about six days.

In spite of the astonishing miracle He had performed at the gates of Jerusalem, He was crucified because "... neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead."

Perfect Divine coherence in the Holy Scriptures.

It is amazing,... but not surprising, that a TV station in Spain, financially associated to the Spanish Catholic Church, which "....broadcasts the Pope's blessings live from St. Peter's Square, also has space for Tarot (1) (card) readers and other fortune tellers".

The owner of Canal Català, Nicola Pedrazzoli, told El País (a major Spanish daily) that he does not consider it strange that a channel which defends 'traditional values' and has a 'marked Catholic identity', should produce spaces dedicated to Tarot and fortune tellers.

Actually it is not surprising if one sees the type of advertisements the Catholic Right news print media carries - sometimes on the front page.

We have considered reproducing some of them and publishing them for your review, but we find them so offensive that we could not even do that.

By the way - this sitation is even worse in Portugal. The most read Portuguese daily has a Personal Classified section that should cause the sale of the newspaper to be banned for minors! Pure filth.

Coherence? What coherence? (2) That is only applicable to the traditionally blind and docile sheep when "they" want the blind and docile sheep to act in a certain way.

However, we must admit that all of that is perfectly coherent with the plans revealed by Dr. Richard Day back in 1969. Is anyone out there listening?

From miguel de Portugal

Surely you remember reading....

[47] ....that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. [48] But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more. [Luke 12]

The reading "And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required" may cause some discomfort in many and that is why it needs to be understood... under the following light....

If you place the best fine steak before a starving toddler and he dies of starvation because he is still incapable of eating it, nothing will be required from the toddler, but much will be required from whomever was careless enough not to realize that, even in the simple matter of eating, there is a learning process.

Remember....

[80] And the child (John the Baptist) grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel. [Luke 1]

and

[39] And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth. [40] And the child (Jesus) grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him. [Luke 2]

So, children of God, don't despair; never give up! (1) The ones who need to be truly concerned are the ones who were supposed to teach you to eat the fine steak! Even those who were counted among the Elect will have to experience a very lengthy "roasting period" in Purgatory.

As for you... Continue to strive (2) no matter how difficult it many be because, if your heart is in the right place, He is right at your side helping you with every breath you take while you are trying to do the Will of God. You will be judged based on what you are capable of understanding and acting upon.

Be at peace, all will be well as long as you sincerely do your part.

From Mr. SJ @ USA

I hope you can continue to indulge my questions, as they are directed to me, and even though I do my best to to properly respond, I am sometimes at a loss to elaborate to someone else's satisfaction.

Can you expand on the premise of a "Mystical Parish" and whether there is a precedent for this, or is it a manifestation or result of the times we live in?

My wife's father, an elderly (93 yr. old) retired permanent Deacon, continues to berate our participation in our Mystical Parish, to the extent of insisting we risk our souls and must confess our participation, when he and my elderly and ailing Mother in Law, would benefit greatly by becoming members themselves. Their health and mobility (as well as the weather conditions) prevent them from attending daily Mass, or even Sunday Mass.

They would prefer that a parishioner tuck away The Body Of Christ, in his/her pocket or purse, and bring it to them at home.

Its very difficult for me to accept all of this, especially in light of comparing what you provide for us vs. what is offered in most Catholic Churches today.

SJ

A. Thank you! for giving us the opportunity to address the number of issues that you raise in your letter. We will strive to present logical sequential answers to it.

First: "Is there is a precedent for this Mystical Parish, or is it a manifestation, or result, of the times we live in?"

We are not aware of a precedent for it; and yes, it is the result of the times we are living in.

No, it was not miguel's invention; it was established through Divine Inspiration and based on the very Catholic reality of the Communion of Saints. Think of it this way: What "is in it for us" - other than obedience to God Most High God.

The stubbornness of your father in law - which you may not be able to overcome - is based on the fact that he has been an active part of an organization where the smoke of satan got into and has about choked it. For him to accept the Divine Logic behind the Mystical Parish would require the acceptance that he has been duped. Tragically, many Opus Dei members (those who are not destined for hell) will spend a very long time in Purgatory because they would not go public and admit that they were duped by the Opus Dei falsified theology. Same human logic.

Second: "They would prefer that a parishioner tuck away The Body Of Christ, in his/her pocket or purse, and bring it to them at home."

The Body of Christ ??? Only if the host was properly Consecrated and by a worthy priest.

As we have warned in the past - stay away from those hosts that are offered at Mass and which are claimed to have been consecrated "in another Mass". Only consume the hosts properly Consecrated in your presence and, if you are not familiar with the "worth" of the priest, at least you will not be harmed by a host consecrated "in another mass". We repeat - stay away !! from those "other mass" hosts.

Third: "(may father in law) continues to berate our participation in our Mystical Parish, to the extent of insisting we risk our souls and must confess our participation."

Let us tackle that logic using his own background.

(a) The Communion of Saints is a pillar of Catholicism.
(b) Before God concluded the lengthy consecration and investment of miguel de Portugal, miguel was officially a Eucharistic Minister, Reader, etc. For years he spent most of the time at the altar during Mass.
(c) The Mystical Parish Mass offered is the full version of the Roman Catholic Mass with all the appropriate and approved prayers and invocations.

Even if your father in law wants to believe that the Transubstantiation is a figment of miguel's imagination, it still would not be wise for him to miss being part of all "purely Catholic" the prayers and invocations offered during those daily Mystical Parish Masses and other daily prayers by denying the reality, validity and power of the Communion of Saints.

In conclusion - following are the possiblities/options before your father in law.

(a) Do nothing, but do not attack miguel de Portugal, the Mystical Parish or those who are part of it.
(b) Do not believe that God is using miguel to carry out the Transubstantiation of the host but, via the Communion of Saints, benefit from all prayers and invocations in which the Mystical Parish members are part of during every day - including the Hour of Mercy.
(c) Attack miguel de Portugal, the Mystical Parish and those who are part of it. Then, what Jesus said through Mark 3:29 - the meaning of which we have explained elsewhere - will take effect in him.

We pray that we have set this issue to rest, once and for all, for anyone that may have concerns and/or doubts about the validity and worth of Mystical Parish.

From miguel de Portugal

Last Sunday we shared with you the news report (1) that Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the past Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in a just issued manifest, has done everything but directly identify Francis as the AntiChrist.

We wonder how long is it going to take most Catholics to realize that what we have been announcing in the Name of God for over two decades is real and is happening.

Well, as the saying goes - that is their problem, not ours.

It is time to remind one and all.... what are the only changes within the Catholic Faith and/or Church which are acceptable to God.

February 9th

From Mrs. MW @ USA

The following text was part of our Christmas observance at my church. I thought that you would enjoy it as much as we did. The text:

NARRATOR
(begin without music)

The announcement regarding the Messiah's arrival went first to some shepherds and
they didn't ask God if He was sure He knew what He was doing.

Had the angel gone to theologians,
they would have first consulted with each other.

Had He gone to the elite,
they would have looked around to see if anyone was watching.

Had He gone to the successful,
they would have first looked at their calendars...

(begin music)

So He went to the shepherds;
men who didn't have a reputation to protect,
or an ax to grind,
or a ladder to climb;

men who didn't know enough to tell God that angels don't sing to sheep,
and that messiahs aren't found wrapped in rags,
and sleeping in a feeding trough.

So at the birth of Jesus,
while the theologians were sleeping,
and the elite were dreaming,
and the successful were snoring,
the meek were kneeling;
they were kneeling before the One only the meek will see.

They were kneeling before Jesus.

MW

A. Thank you for sharing the expression of such a reality, in such a simple way.

That embodies what Jesus meant when He said:

...Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [John 3:3]

Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it. [Luke 18:17]

We do not have to be shepherds; we can be the proverbial rocket scientist but... if we are humble enough to recognize our great shortcomings while enthralled by the magnificence of Creation, that is, we are poor in spirit...

... we will be Blessed, and Kingdom of Heaven will be ours [from Matthew 5:3]

From Mr. WS @ US

According to Breaking Israel News, Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, a Torah Codes expert, claims that the political conflict between the left-wing and the right-wing is a mystical war that has Biblical roots.

According to the rabbi, hidden clues in the Bible indicate that the Left-Wing will be defeated this year as a precursor to the Messiah. (1)

WS

A. We are amazed at the publication Breaking Israel News. We receive their headlines daily and, almost without fail, every day they headline an article announcing the "just around the corner" manifestation of the Messiah.

If one were to consider that the Washington Post is the mouthpiece of Amazon's chief, Jeff Bezos, the publication Breaking Israel News should be considered the mouthpiece of the False Christ.

Maybe we should not be surprised; after all, Israel's former President, the late Shimon Peres, openly called for a One World Religion under the leadership of Pope Francis....

....while overlooking the obvious reality that, Biblically, Jesus is the one and only Messiah. They are still waiting for the fully human individual which, as we explained elsewhere, historically cannot exist.

Amazing; simply amazing!

From miguel de Portugal

Yes... amazing.... but not nearly as amazing as the manufactured racist scandal raging through the top echelons of the state of Virginia government.

Since when masquerading as someone else has become a crime? It would then logically follow that anyone dressed as a native American indian, an Aztec, an Inca, a Spanish Conquistador, a cowboy, an eskimo, and very long list - not excluding female impersonators - should be denounced as racist or ethnicist.

When we saw the photograph that triggered the manufactured racist scandal - which portrayed someone dressed as a member of the black race posing with a friend dressed as a KKK member - what came to mind immediately was its positive symbolism of the tremendous progress that we have made to counter racism.

Had it been the same two with the "black" individual being denigrated by the "KKK" individual, I would have been the first to cry "foul!" but was not the case.

But, then again, the manufactured scandal follows the script to a "T" and most fall for it as "they" expect.

February 7th

From Ms. LG @ USA
[paraphrasing the relevant part of the communication]

Thank you for the document that you just posted... "Whom should we pray to? To the Father, to Jesus or to the Holy Spirit? This is how we should do it - just as Jesus instructed us!"

It answered my questions, however, there is something in it that I do not quite understand. In it you state the following:

Although God is visibly manifested to us in two ways - His Son, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit - it is only the "substance" of God - that intangible manifestation that we call The Father - Who dispenses the favors and Graces and works the miracles.

I may need a little more clarity here, as I envision God the Father and the Holy Spirit both without form. I guess my clarity lacks in why does God the Father, in His Infinite Wisdom, present a triune God with the Holy Spirit, since He and the Holy Spirit are both, in essence, spirit?

Thank you for taking the time to, through this new document, assist with the clarification of this matter which has been unclear to me for quite some time.

LG

A. First of all - No; God, the Father is not, in essence, a spirit; He defies qualification - He is intangible. With that said....

We initially regretted to have caused some confusion through the above quoted statement.

When we received your follow up question I had no idea how we could explain the answer in human terms. Then, God came to my rescue with what I now refer to regularly as a "Heavenly WhatsApp". That is why we stated above that we initially regretted the confusion.

The answer in one simple sentence is: The Most Holy Trinity encompasses Time and Eternity simultaneously.

God, the Father, Who defies qualification, contains Time (which encompasses what physicists call 'time and space') and, shall we say, resides in Eternity. Therefore, the manifestation of God, the Father, in Time is accomplished through: His Spiritual manifestation via the Holy Spirit and His Physical manifestation via His Son Jesus.

Our connection to our Father in Eternity is through Jesus - the Gate to Eternity - and the Father's guidance from Eternity for us is manifested through His Spirit in time, manifested as the Holy Spirit of God.

I pray that we have been able to clarify the matter to the satisfaction of all.

In yesterday's Gospel... [Mark 6:1-6] we are again reminded that...

....Jesus was not able to perform any mighty deed there (Nazareth),apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

We just want to stress again that the power of God to do good for someone can be stopped by a mere human who does not have faith.

It is easy to evaluate the level of faith that "Christains" have had over the last 1,600 as we look at the trail of misery that we call history. Conversely we want to remind all, once again, that the harm that a direct nuclear hit can cause can be stopped by faith.

That same faith stopped a military attack on Constantinople on October 1st, 911 A.D. (1)

With that said... we should stop and think how we are spending our time now and ponder how wise it is considering what we have been amply warned about.
______________
(1) The event is even reported here

We have been officially informed... at the request of the U.S. Military that:

The Earth’s northern magnetic pole is on the move, scientists say, drifting from the Canadian Arctic towards Siberia..... The update released on Monday says the magnetic north pole is moving about 34 miles (55 kilometres) a year. “It didn’t move much between 1900 and 1980 but it’s really accelerated in the past 40 years,” said Ciaran Beggan, of the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh.
.....
In general Earth's magnetic field is getting weaker, leading scientists to say that it will eventually flip, where north and south pole changes polarity, like a bar magnet flipping over..... When it reverses, it won't be like a coin flip, but would take 1,000 or more years, experts said.
......
....an area over the South Atlantic has already reversed beneath Earth's surface. (1)(2)

Comments: It is interesting to note that it would take 1,000 or more years for the complete reversal.... a number that brings to mind the technically 1,000 Year Reign of Christ after the End of These Times.

In "my book" the reversal has already started since they report that: "....an area over the South Atlantic has already reversed beneath Earth's surface."

How it will affect humanity as it progresses? Not even the scientists know even though they will not admit it now.

We do not lose any sleep over it. We just keep our eyes fixed upon Jesus since that is all that we can do that works.

The Latest Post on the Board is....

Published on February 3rd, 2019

An important reminder about Medjugorje.

We recommend that it is carefully reviewed.

We highlight it here today since we have noticed very little traffic to the Board from our own List.

Amazingly enough the second country from which more visitors access the Board is Malaysia. The first, of course is from the U.S. although, yet only just a few are from our list.

Maybe we are wasting our time with all posts and mailings and should discontinue them while only keeping informed the few who have shown their sincere interest.

The temptation is great considering that I feel that, in that area, we have fully fulfilled what God Willed that we do.

P.S. I had barely finished the above text when the Good Lord said: What about the poor souls of Malaysia and the other over 120 nations that visit those posts?

There you have it! Not always what I feel - out of sheer human frustration - is what He wants that we feel.

That is what deferring to the Will of God is all about!

And now that.... you have had physical, thus concrete, confirmation of what we have been announcing in the Name of God since the early nineties, we wish to point out - to one and all - what Paul tells the Hebrews in today's first reading:

And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God. For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin... [Hebrews 12:1-4]

The ride is not easy, but it is certainly worth it. Are you up to it?

From Mr. G.R. @ US
(an excerpt)

...the small group of people in my circle think I'm an absolute 'poor lost soul' out of touch with reality!

I always pray for them daily but they just pay me lip service.

GR

A. Just do not give it a second thought.

Continue to pray for the Elect among them; that is only what God expects from you and the rest of us.

The First Reading on.... the Solemnity of the Presentation was from Malachi 3:1-4. Using such reading on that particular day is of further assistance to the subconscious for destruction of the faith. To wit:

Behold I send my angel (messenger), and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts. And who shall be able to think of the day of his coming? and who shall stand to see him? for he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller's herb: And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice. And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years.

One - Jesus is not the messenger as it could be misunderstood. The messenger is whomever announces His coming.

Two - Jesus is the Lord.

Three - When Jesus comes "like a refining fire, and like the fuller's herb: And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver" will be in His Second and not when He came first.

Four - The "the days of old, and in the ancient years." are the Judaism days before the Babylonian exile although the sacrifice offered and spoken about through Malachi will be enhanced by living out His instructions given through Luke 22:19:

....taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

Do you see how simple is to subtly confuse the minds of the faithful so that eventually they just discard the life giving teachings form the Holy Texts and of the Catholic Faith as "just another set of old wives tales"?

February 2nd

From miguel de Portugal

The seismic activity in the world started with a proverbial bang in the year 2019. If we annualize the number of earthquakes using the whole month of January we can project a 10 % increase over the year 2018.

As you may recall, the number of earthquakes greater than 5.0 in the Richter scale occurring during the year 2018 was 18% greater than what we had in the year 2017.

In simpler terms: The annualized number of earthquakes greater than 5.0 in the Richter scale for the year 2019 would be 3.38 times the average number for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 which was only 565 earthquakes.

In yesterday's Mass Gospel... - Mark 4:26-34 - we read:

This is how it is with the Kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

That is, the seed of the Kingdom of God is somehow planted in one's heart/soul and will eventually sprout and grow to its fullness. However, we must not forget that the seed scattered on the land also needs water, sunshine and the proper climatic condition for it sprout and grow to its fullness.

Likewise, for the seed of the Kingdom of God to sprout and grow to its fullest, it needs its water and sunshine equivalents: prayer and fasting. It also needs the equivalent of the proper climatic conditions, which is the social environment of the soul in question.

Now, the equivalent of the "fullness" of the Kingdom of God varies from individual to individual depending on his/her spiritual, psychological and physical make up. Our spiritual, psychological and physical make up also determines how much fruit we will produce.

Think of it this way....

Take apple seeds, of the same variety, but from very different regions of the world. Now plant them side by side in one specific location and provide the same sunlight and water for all. Each apple tree, and its fruit, will be slightly different because the "spiritual, psychological and physical make up" equivalent of each seed - coming from very different regions of the world - will be different.

For additional details on this matter you may want to review our document on the Dynamic integration of an anatomical-physiological organism with the soul

If any of the above is not clear enough to your satisfaction, do ask and we will try to explain it in some other way.

Now...

In the Gospel of the prior day [Mk 4:21-25] we hear Jesus say:

Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you. To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Although such reading has been used to wrongly justify self enriching at the expense of what is taken from those who have little, its real meaning is:

The more you give, the more will be given to you (by God), whereas those who "have not" (read: have little) and do not give whatever they can from what they have, the little that they have will be taken away.

Remember the widow's mite at Luke 21:4. She will get much more from God for the two brass coins she dropped into the Temple's Treasury than those who gave from their excesses.

From Mrs. IW @ US

Note: For the convenience of our readers we will address each point of Ms. IW's letter within her own text in italic blue.

I have been praying for the plight of today's children and youth throughout the world for as long as I can remember. The urgency to do so has increased to the point of desperation, as I witness just how terrible are the temptations and lures of this crazy world targeting them with a particular ferocity. I see this with my grandchildren, especially my grandson. The boys are particularly targeted.

If you carefully read the detailed plans of the Masters of the World which we recently published, then you fully understand what is taking place and why more, and more prayers is needed.

....

I just finished reading about St. John Bosco and his tremendous ministry with the youth, especially boys.... Very clearly, what came to mind was I am to entrust today's children/youth to the particular care of this Saint. And I did.

May God Be Praised! As we have written, John Bosco was the living example God sent to show us that truly living His Word can conquer all - including the violent anticlericalism in the Italy of the 19th century..

...

Would you be so kind as to include this particular intention for the children/youth of the world in your prayers? Chances are you already are praying for them.

Of course we are, and have been for years.

Actually to make sure that we "cover all the bases", we even offer a decade daily so that its merits may be applied by Jesus and Mary to whatever intention I should have prayed for that day I and somehow missed the Divine cue to do so. We recommend this to our readers.

If I may, may I include my own intentions with yours?

Absolutely!
