From miguel de Portugal

Today's Gospel reading [Mt 8:5-17] closes as follows:

When it was evening, they brought him many who were possessed by demons, and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick, to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet.

The way the ending of the sentence is worded "to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet" has propitiated the spread a major error; an error that has caused much suffering when mere humans take it upon themselves to act in order "to fulfill" a prophecy.

This syntax error appears in many instances in the New Testament so it is well spread.

The way that ending should be worded is: "in fulfillment of what had been said by Isaiah the prophet"

The official, and incorrect, version instructs the faithful that we must act "to fulfill" a prophecy, when the reality is that when we act as God moves us, all prophecies are fulilled by default - without us realizing.... it until later on.

We could write the proverbial book on that!


We are sure that.... you have heard that the Trump-Putin summit has been scheduled for the most apocalyptic calendar day of the year - July 16th. If you do not remember how apocalyptic July 16th is, we suggest that you refresh your memory about it.

But that is not all... Of all European cities available they picked Helsinki. It was in that city where the Helsinki Accords were negotiated and then signed on August 1st, 1975.

And what were the Helsinki Accords about? According to Wikipedia:

The Helsinki Accords, Helsinki Final Act, or Helsinki Declaration was the final act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe held in Finlandia Hall of Helsinki, Finland, during July and August 1, 1975.

Thirty-five states, including the US, Canada, and all European states except Albania and Andorra, signed the declaration in an attempt to improve relations between the Communists and the West. The Helsinki Accords, however, were not binding as they did not have treaty status. (1)

Technically the cold war started in 1947 and ended in 1991 because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and not because of the Helsinki Accords.

So we could assume that the Trump-Putin meeting will just add another date to the most apocalyptic calendar day of any year and yield no worthwhile benefits. Then again, we may all be surprised. God keeps all His cards on the table.
_____________________________
(1) The Helsinki Accords


But then again.... as we were running spell check on the above text every time the checker hit the "Trump-Putin" entry it showed it as an error with the proposed correct choice being "Trumpeting". Quite interesting when one considers the tremendous importance the "Trumpets" have in the Apocalypse.

Right on target! As we have said many times, God will use any means to get His message to those of His children who have Eyes to see and Ears hear.


Do you ever wonder... when the following Gospel passages appear to have been added to the Gospel of Luke, chapter 9?

46 And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. 47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him, 48 And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.

and....
 
49 And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.

and...

51 And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. 53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? 55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.

Anyone who would objectively study the history of Christianity, and Catholicism in particular, would have to assume that those were introduced during the much maligned (1) Second Vatican Council..... if one considers the fact that such fundamental truths have been ignored and trampled over for about 1600 years causing the complete failure of the Evangelization Jesus Christ entrusted the Church which claims to represent Him.

That is simply because most of said Evangelizers never believed the Word of God they exploited for their personal benefit and to control the masses.

The continuous awareness of this moves us to incessantly offer prayers of consolation and retribution to a most maligned and misrepresented God.

Do not ever forget the above so that you may understand why He will allow what will fall upon the alleged Evangelizers. (2)

From (Mrs.) IW  @ USA

 [For the convenience of the Faithful we will place our answers and comments within the text itself indicating them with an "A." and in italic letters.]

Again, please forgive my ignorance, but although I have read very many of your articles, my mind just can't understand the political intrigues and maneuvers of people in power.  It is so confusing to me, that I just pray and leave to God what must happen to correct the people He wishes to save.

A. Confusing is not the word - it is worse than following a chess game in three dimensions plus one - time. We publish that information (1) for two reasons: (a) Those who can follow it will have a 'ring side seat' to the Apocalypse and will see how it all unfolds; (b) To clearly indicate the ties between men of "Faith", so to speak, and the political maneuvering in the world which has nothing to do with God and which will be used to spring the False Christ upon an unsuspecting humanity.

Understanding certainly IS NOT a condition for Salvation but it will affect the level (2) of future suffering if one is moved to increase one's prayer life. Each one of you will understand it when and how God determines it is time for it to be understood, not when miguel wants.

What we exhort people to do, indeed, is to Pray and allow the Will of God to guide their every step (3). There can be no failure with that.

I still talk to my adult children and grandchildren about the importance of living in the state of grace, being thankful to God and the Blessed Mother for every single thing (including blue skies, food on the table, being together)  and trying to be loving persons.  I am in horrific darkness, but I am surprised how none of this really bothers me.  Am I in denial?

A. No, you are not in denial. (4) Although you are indeed surrounded by a horrific darkness you are not really bothered by it. Why should you be? Explaining it in material terms: You find yourself in the darkness of nights, a night without a moon BUT wearing night vision goggles.  In spiritual terms the "night vision goggles" are nothing else that Having the Holy Spirit of God in residence in your heart and guiding your every step. When the Holy Spirit of God guides our every step - why should we worry?  Why else would you "...talk to my adult children and grandchildren about the importance of living in the state of grace, being thankful to God and the Blessed Mother for every single thing and trying to be loving persons." unless you had internal illumination?

This is why we keep calling for a single minded effort develop a real, working and intimate relation with the Holy Spirit of God. (5)

 I do as many of the things you suggest in the way of prayer, and listen to God as best I can, and although I tremble (spiritually) I lead as normal a life as I can.

A. And that IS precisely why, even though you recognize that you are submerged in total darkness, you are are to lead a normal life. But we are called arrogant and evil by those whose control of other human beings, through codependency, (6)  is threatened by what we recommend in the Name of God.

Please forgive me for telling you all of these things, but I need to know if there is anything other I should be doing?  Sometimes I need someone to tell me I am on the right track.  Sorry to say I don't trust many priests or anyone else for that matter.

A. That is one of the reasons for which we exist. The only things that you need to keep doing.... is what you are doing - always striving to draw closer to God and fulfill His Will (not what we want His Will to be (7)) at every turn.

My family tolerates my beliefs, but think I make too much of everything.  I tolerate them with much love, because the warning will enlighten them.

A. Through your actions you are Evangelizing those around you by example. The moment the expected major global events and catastrophes take place most of those seeds of Evangelization you are planting "here and there" will sprout to full bloom so fast that it will surprise you. Those which will not - were never intended to bloom regardless of what you or anyone else would have done.

Even this letter is an act of Evangelization. As we answer your questions, questions which are shared by many, many who may not even be aware that they have the same questions and concerns or are unable to express them, you are causing their illumination because, if we did not have your letter to answer, we would not be writing this now in the Name of God.

Another side note- when Sept.11th happened I was surprised to find myself so calm, when I usually am not so calm when I think of the possible damnation of so many poor unfortunate people.

A. God gave you a concrete confirmation of what we explained to you above.
 
  Thank you for listening to me. 

Mrs. IW

A. And we praise God for your progress and the opportunity He gave us to help thousands upon thousands through the answering of your letter.

From miguel de Portugal

In the opening of today's Gospel reading [Matthew 7:21-29] we read:

Jesus said to his disciples: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you evildoers.’

As I take stock of the world around me since Christianity was purchased by Mammon, symbolized by Emperor Constantine, it never ceases to amaze me how most of those who profess being Christians, yet do not do the will of His Father in Heaven,  really expect to be saved considering how clearly Jesus has made the conditions that have to be met to attain Eternal life.

Through their behavior it is obvious that they think Christianity is just an enduring fad, a sort of tradition devoid of spiritual content. Those thoughts will come crashing down when they hear: ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you evildoers.’

Through the Grace of God I can assure you that, as long as I continue to fulfill His Will calling His children Home, when that time comes I will not be fazed - saddened yes, but not fazed - by the condemnation of billions.

Yes, we said "billions". Remember what He also said in a recent Mass?

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.
[Matthew 7]

I rest my case, as an attoney would say in court.


June 26th

From (Mrs. IW) @ US
[For the convenience of the readers our response/comments may be found within text in italic.]

Regarding  the document: Trump and the Invasion of the West (1).  Am I correct in my understanding that the Globalist Leaders are the ones who have caused the chaos in these countries, that is causing the people to leave the countries in the first place?
The UK, USA, Germany, France etc., have been sticking their noses in other countries business for so long, that it has resulted in what is occurring and this is what they wanted to do?

A. Everyone should remember that there is only one major conspiracy and it is satan the one who is running it through a multitude of individuals (2) who are blind as to what is really going on. We must clarify that most countries have their Deep State (DS) and Shadow Government (SG) equivalents so that satan can work more effectively in bringing total chaos upon the world. Of course, the effect of the DS's & SG's is greater in major world powers like the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, etc.

It is hard for me to understand that one set of humans want another set of humans to suffer to the point of desperation, that they will leave everything they know and love and travel, on foot, or by boat, thousands of miles to find some kind of peace and a better life. And when they arrive are told to go back, they are not welcomed.  What are they to do? 

A. When a set of humans operate with demonic entities in their "filters" (3) they do not care about the suffering of other humans any more than satan does. In case the effect of the possessed "filter" is not strong enough in a particular individual for him/her not to totally care, they reason that the "end will justify the means" (4) and, "consoled" with such Godless reasoning, then proceed to cause suffering and misery upon others.

Humanity has reached a new low.  In Cincinnati, OH, there is a museum called The Underground Railroad Museum.  It tells the history of the underground railroad in the USA.  In the area that teaches about today, it gives you information on Human Trafficking, the new slavery name.  We were just put aback to read this information, the stories, see the pictures.

A. When one "hits the streets", as God had miguel do in the past to learn first hand about these matters, one learns about many more soul destroying "projects" besides the basic Human Trafficking. As we have said many times, Christians have enough reasons to pray for at least four hours a day while also offering all difficulties they come across as our Mother taught us through Fatima.

The experience God had miguel gain in those matters was so much that a major parish he was associated with in Houston the late 80's asked him to train/prepare a Graduate Student - whose parents were psychiatrists - to safely "live on the streets" for two weeks as part of his Graduate School Thesis Project. They felt that miguel could properly prepare him as to what to expect, while remaining safe/alive.  By the way, the Graduate student project was a success.

Although the MSM may be using the southern USA border crises to destroy Trump, I am very upset to know what is happening to the adults and the children.  Some of the separated children may never see their parents again. That is heartbreaking. I was in the hospital when I was two with pneumonia.  In those days the parents could not stay at the hospital.  I remember crying so loud and so much when my parents had to leave. It was so bad that my great-grandmother told my mother if the doctor would not let me come home, I would die.  When they did bring me home, my mother told me I refused to speak for awhile. I remember that and I was only 2. These children will be forever scarred. 

A. As truly tragic and traumatic as that is, as we have said above, the perpetrators can rationalize it. Rest assured - satan will see to it that they do.

This is why we must continue, on an indefinite manner, to offer the Chaplet of Mercy daily seeking God's Mercy for those who are suffering throughout the world as the result of our greed and iniquities. That does bring some relief which we could not bring otherwise. We also offer one Mass per week for that intention, plus another Mass specifically for the spiritual and material benefit of the refugees. We even include those who die while in a refugee state. Of course, the Mystical Parish members take part in those Masses.

I pray for the children.  I pray that God's will and His timing be done. I am happy that the Lord had allowed me to be part of the Prayer Group.  I would like to called us, Prayer Warriors, since we are in spiritual warfare.

A. Spiritual Warfare is the perfect label for the state the world is in.

But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. [Daniel 12:1]

Thank you again for all you do for Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A. It is a Blessing and a Privilege to serve God by serving each one of you.

The joy of the celebration of the birth of John the Baptist on June 24th is stained by the Solemnity of "Saint" Josemaria Escriva which is celebrated on June 25th, according to the U.S. Liturgical schedule as it appears on  the Roman Missal used in the US.

Were you aware that during the canonization of Escriva there were 42 cardinals and 470 bishops from around the world, general superiors of many orders and religious congregations, as well as representatives of various Catholic groups present at the Vatican? (1)

and that....

One third of the world's bishops (an unprecedented number) petitioned for the canonization of Escrivá? (1)

John Paul II's decree Christifideles Omnes on Escrivá's virtues said that "by inviting Christians to be united to God through their daily work, which is something men will have to do and find their dignity in as long as the world lasts, the timeliness of this message is destined to endure as an inexhaustible source of spiritual light, regardless of changing epochs and situations."

Escrivá was beatified on May 17, 1992, and canonized on October 6, 2002 by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. (1)

It seems that someone is ascribing to Escrivá, the core of the Message delivered by Jesus Christ. The same Jesus Christ, Who is the True and Only Way and not Escrivás booklet. The same Jesus Who also said:

No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. [Matthew 6:24]

As we have clearly explained elsewhere (2), Escrivá's applied theology goes completely against the core of Christianity yet, many buy into it so that they can justify their mammon-oriented behavior.

We wonder who paid for the trip expenses of the 42 cardinals and 470 bishops who came to "....see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not..." [Mark 13:14] ?

Never mind that. The important question is: Who is following the follow-up crystal clear instruction Jesus gave us for that time "...then let them that are in Judea, flee unto the mountains."?

Think about the symbolism of Judea in Christianity and you see what that apparently strange message for Jesus really means on a global scale.

From miguel de Portugal

Today's Mass readings [2 Kings 19 and Matthew 7] contained two examples of how God truly works, as opposed as when man acts contrary to the Laws of God but claims that God "told him/them" to do it.

First in 2 Kings 19, at the end we read:

"Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: 'He shall not reach this city, nor shoot an arrow at it, nor come before it with a shield, nor cast up siege-works against it.

He shall return by the same way he came, without entering the city, says the LORD. I will shield and save this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.'"

That night the angel of the LORD went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, broke camp, and went back home to Nineveh.

When it is truly God who wants our enemies eliminated,  He can do it Himself. He will not move us to blatantly violate the Commandment of Thy shalt not kill. If anyone claims that, it is a blaspheme - even if it came from the Chair of Peter.

On Matthew 7 we then read Jesus teaching us thus:

Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Sometime ago we pondered about that warning since our publications reach the four corners of the Earth and they contain 'what is Holy', which God has revealed to us, as well as many 'pearls' that He has also given us. Let's face it, there are many dogs and swine out there on the lose and we cannot physically control who reads what we publish.

His answer was swift and simple: The dogs and swine out there who come across such material will not understand it, or, if they do, they will misuse them to their great detriment.

He never ceases to amaze us!

That is a perfect example of what He taught us yesterday via Divine Encouragement:

I am your Lord.  Lord of your life, Controller of your days, your present and your future.

Leave all plans to Me. Only act as I bid you.



June 23rd
From miguel de Portugal

The Gospel of yesterday's Mass - Matthew 6: 19-23 - have some interesting points that we feel should be highlighted.

The first one -

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

It is time to take a hard and long look at what is our "treasure" to make sure that our heart is where it should be. After crossing the veil is too late to "reposition" one's heart.

The second one -

The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.

When one possesses the often mentioned "eyes to see", one's eye is sound and the whole body will be filled with light. Conversely, when one is blind to the physical and spiritual realities that surround him/her the, whole body will be in darkness.

Now then, when we meet someone in darkness, we must offer the light. If the light/peace is refused, Jesus already told us what to do:

And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house. And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. [Matthew 10:12-14]

Remember, let us not try to be more Christian than Jesus Christ - that is arrogance and arrogance comes from satan.

However, if  whosoever did not receive you at that time comes back a day, or ten years, later and ask you for that light/peace, we must offer it then, and the prior rejection is swept away by the oceans on Divine Mercy.

and again....

From miguel de Portugal

My son continues in his slow and very painful journey to a certain death. In spite of his condition, he insists in holding on to a job because, his condition, being as rare as it is, is not in the qualifying illnesses list for Disability pay support.

His insurance keeps cutting back the benefits he is in need of - which now is strictly pain management since there is no cure other than from God. He has a roof over his head because his mother is paying for it, otherwise he would be, literally, on the streets.

An army buddy of his decided to take Jose's situation into his hands and started a GoFundMe campaign - thus the army photo being used, which is quite a few years old. [He is the young man with glasses in the forefront.]

As you know,  we are not connect with any Social Media system by Divine design, so we are appealing to you to make his plea available through your Social Media links. The page may be found  Here.

Maybe there are some kind and charitable people out there who will be willing to give this former professional soldier, and Special Forces Assessment and Selection selectee, a hand.


From IW  @ USA

May the Lord's Peace be ever with you!

I hope that you will recall me.  In times past you have been both a guide and almost a confessor to me. 

I am writing in regard to a reference that you made regarding psychiatric drugs based on an article by Dr. Peter R. Breggin. (1)

I am sure you don't recall the many times I have contacted you in a state of euphoria and then desperate depression. In short, I finally found some medical assistance in that I was diagnosed as bi-polar, and am now much more ready to cope.

I have, as I mentioned before, also joined the Orthodox Church, and find my life to be "leveling out".

From  the comments that you made I got the impression that you do not approve of such psychiatric drugs.  Now I find myself in a spiritual quandary, wondering if I have done wrong and will jeopardize my soul in the long run.

I know you are busy, and I know I may have to wait for your response, but as you promised in the past, I know you will respond now.

Yours in Christ Jesus

IW

A. Of course we remember you and rejoice at the progress you have made through the Grace of God.

As we mentioned to you right after we received your communication - you have nothing to be concerned about, nor any changes need to be made in the medication you take.  We will use a very popular and well known face to illustrate a very important point.

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina was one of the greatest miracle worker on the 20th Century and the healing through his hands were, and are, legendary.  What most people are not aware of is that, many times, some of those who came to him to be healed would be sent, by Padre Pio, to see a physician instead of working a miraculous cure.

Why? Because there are some physical illness which are 100 % organic and need to be treated  accordingly.  We have learned through the Grace of God, and the experiences with which He has Graced us, that most illnesses are due to spiritual dysfunction (2); however, the ones which are not, like yours, need to be treated through traditional or alternative medicine.

When there is an actual organic illness that requires medical attention, and an apparently miraculous cure is worked by someone without deferring to God, the illness, after a while, reappears with a vengeance. [We are not referring here about true miraculous cures which God dispenses at His pleasure because in those cases, He not only removes the problem but He also corrects whatever organic problem caused it.]

A good and honest MD diagnostician can help the patient determine which is the best route to follow.

Our original comments strictly reflected our concern about the "Pill Dispensing Happy" physicians and the "Desirous For A Quick Fix Happy" patients.  As we often say - we must think and, with the Illumination of the Holy Spirit of God, then safely navigate through life.

May God continue to Bless you and continue to guide you to a good physical and mental health.

...and, Thank God!, finally....

House passes most ambitious congressional effort yet to combat opioids epidemic

The House of Representatives on Friday overwhelmingly passed the largest opioids legislative package in recent history, with provisions directing federal agencies to prioritize training, support recovery centers and conduct research on multiple fronts to help deal with the growing crisis.

The package, which passed 396-14, comprises 58 House-approved individual bills. The vote marks Capitol Hill's biggest move so far to address the opioids crisis, which killed 42,000 people in 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Comment: As we were saying above "....our concern is about the 'Pill Dispensing Happy' physicians and the 'Desirous For A Quick Fix Happy' patients." and, hopefully, this bill will finally address this most serious problem after a few 'Pill Dispensing Happy' physicians are heavily fined for malpractice.

I have been accessing your web site for a number of years.  I have also been through most of your web site which has been extremely educational to me.  I have never corresponded, and at this point am moved to introduce myself.

I have been considering for quite some time whether I should contribute financially to your organization, as from reading on the site you clearly have financial needs that aren't met.  I already contribute to a number of charities, so it isn't a matter of whether I should give, I just never felt like I had the spiritual "green light" to do so with The M+G+R Foundation.

Is there something you could share about the organization, how the money is used, etc., that would help me here?

IW

A. Thank you very much for your interest, kind words and consideration.

Perhaps if your review our function (1) and learn about the person of miguel de Portugal (2) you will find the concrete justification to following what God is inspiring you to do.

You may not have seen the spiritual "green light" but, if you have contacted us, it is because God is moving you to do so, even though you, because some unconscious - not spiritual but psychological - block are unable to see the "green light".

I would like to continue receiving the Divine Encouragement mailings. I find them very reassuring in these confused times.

Personally, I am finding it harder and harder to fit in to the world in its current state and do not accept that this is how things should be.

I am becoming more and more isolated and cut off from the people and the environment around me as it becomes more and more alien to me (and me to them/it).

I know love is the only way, but it is becoming increasingly difficult with those I love who do not wish to hear or see, and continue down the road of consumption and denial. 

I thank you for being a shining light in these times.
 
IW

A. You kind words of encouragement replenish our spiritual "fuel tanks".

 Thank you for sharing with us this "window to your soul".

It should not come as a surprise to you that many of the words you wrote could have also been written by miguel de Portugal.

The more one (truly) becomes of God the less one is of the world. At this point in my journey as m de P, the world - as is - holds absolutely nothing that could possibly be of interest to me with the exception of the souls who are expecting their call to awake to Him; the key reason miguel de Portugal exists.

Regarding "it is becoming increasingly difficult with those I love who do not wish to hear or see, and continue down the road of consumption and denial" - we could write the proverbial book on that; therefore, we fully understand how you feel.

No, it is not easy, but all we can do for them is pray on their behalf.  In this type of situation, prayer on their behalf is the ultimate manifestation of Love.

Love is our burning desire that a soul sees the Light and makes the right move as the Prodigal son did (1). Thus the "love thy enemy, pray for thy persecutor" [Matt. 5:44], exhortations from Jesus. Love does not mean that we want to spend time with someone who is completely out of tune with our God-enhanced Reality. Love is our desire for their spiritual betterment, and then act upon it through prayer and example.

For a concrete example of that: As of late we have been offering, on a daily basis, a decade of the Rosary for the conversion of those whose actions cause so much suffering and misery in the world - we pray for the criminals, the murderers and the drug lords since only God can change them. No government, no security forces, no threats can or ever will.

So, you see - you are on the right track, moving on the right direction, at a beautiful and encouraging rate and getting very close where He wants you to be.

Thank you for the opportunity to address this critical issue for the benefit of many.

From miguel de Portugal

For the benefit of our readers who are not familiar with what could be a strictly American saying and which we used in a recent news report....

When the term "your slip is showing", or any variation thereof, is used it means: "You are getting sloppy with something that should be discreet."

For those who have no idea what a "slip" is, now that even basic underwear is sometimes dispensed of:

A slip is a woman's undergarment worn beneath a dress or skirt. A full slip hangs from the shoulders, usually by means of narrow straps, and extends from the breast to the fashionable skirt length. A half slip hangs from the waist.

Please, remember the above in case that you have never heard of it before since we will probably use it again.


The level and magnitude of the hypocrisy.... duplicity and deception by the U.S. media has reached a point hardly seen before.

Right now Mr. Trump is portrayed as the great evil who is behind the forced separation of children from their parents, but the lie is so great that even a Mexican-American Democart from Texas could not stand it.

Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar is admitting that the Obama administration attempted to cover up the child migrant crisis occurring at the Southern border (1)(2):

“It was kept very quiet under the Obama Administration. There were large numbers of people coming in. The Obama administration was trying to keep this quiet,” Rep. Cuellar told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.

Rep. Cuellar added that the number of children being held at the border right now is similar to the amount held during the Obama administration.

“We still see the numbers,” he said, adding that “not all of them are being separated. Some of them are coming alone.”

Knowing the dynamics of interracial and political relationships in Texas as we do, make Rep. Cuellar's admission even more powerful.

Rep. Cuellar background is Mexican - referred to there as Tex-Mex. Therefore, a minority. Mr. Obama is black, another minority. Both belong to the same party. All those factors would bind them quite tightly yet the deception is so great that Rep. Cuellar had to break lose form those ties and denounce the attacks against Mr. Trump.

Notice - we are not discussing the positive and negative aspects, nor the human impact of the law in question. We are, through this page, continuing to alert our readers to the level of deception that permeates the media.

One last thought.... Isn't it interesting how concerned these people are about a few thousand detained youngsters considering that they are the same ones who are behind the abortion - actually, the murder - of million of children every year? This does not mean that the situation of the detained youngsters should not be resolved. It is just another example of massive news manipulation for which much of the world population is falling for.

Are you falling for it?  If you are, we suggest that you add one more Rosary to your prayer schedule.

From miguel de Portugal

The message of today's Gospel [Matthew 5:43-48] is one that our readers see us repeat very frequently. The reason simply is because it is the fastest and most effective way to change the world around us. There is no better way!

You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?

Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The worse an individual is, the more the reason why we should pray for him/her. If more people believed the reality of that message, and lived it, their world would change so fast that it would be hard for them to accept.

There is another benefit to fulfilling the above teaching. Even if the "bad actor" does not change and is destined to hell, you will neutralize his negative effect in you.

Do not forget. God Is above all. God IS indeed Almighty and if we follow His simple instructions all will work out the best possible way. As I have said many times - I am just sorry that I wasted the first 42 years of my life as the result of my not aware of these magnificent truths.... another example of a failed Evangelization.

In the First reading of the same Mass [1 Kings 21:17-29] we read about the punishment that Ahab, the King of Israel, and his wife had brought upon themselves for the staging of Naboth's death and then stealing his vineyard.

When Ahab heard these words, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth over his bare flesh. He fasted, slept in the sackcloth, and went about subdued. Then the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his time. I will bring the evil upon his house during the reign of his son.

It seems that Ahab avoided the consequences of his serious transgressions by an act of Divine Mercy, nonetheless the consequences will be felt by his house during the reign of his son.

Many (most?) will think: "What kind of just God is one who lets the key transgressor get away free from the consequences of such evil, yet his house will suffer for it during the reign of his son?"

That is a very valid question.... and here is the answer....

Our actions, good or bad, not only have immediate consequences; they have lasting consequences. Think of dropping a stone on the surface of a tranquil body of water. What do you see? Ripples move away from the point of impact and will travel as far as the energy, generated by the stone impacting the water, allows.

It is the same when we cause a spiritual disturbance. In this case, because Ahab sincerely repented and humbled himself before God, the negative consequences of his actions to himself were suspended just as if you would neutralize the ripples immediately next to the location of the stone-water impact. However, that would not stop the further away ripples which were set in motion and continue to move away from the point of impact.

For them to be neutralized it will require additional action by Ahab and/or his son.

From miguel de Portugal

As we continue to highlight the improper examples that we find in the Old Testament (1) which harm/distort the faith...

The First Reading of the Masses of this week have dealt with Elijah. In chapter 18 of the 1st Book of Kings (or 3rd Book of Kings depending on your old Testament) we see how God confirmed before all that the God Whom Elijah adored and served was the one and only one God and that the prophets of Baal were promoters of false gods.

So far, so good.... but then Elijah turns around, and in crass violation of one of the oldest Divine Laws, ...said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elijah brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there. [1 Kings 18:40]

No man - Moses included [Exodus 32:28] - has the right to kill another man. If God wanted those individuals dead He could have killed them Himself - didn't He, just a few minutes before, caused fire to fall ....and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.? [1 Kings 18:38] 

Why does God keep using those violators of Divine Law? Because once He marks a man to act on His behalf it is unchangeable, however, they do not have a "pass" to violate Divine Law without retribution - just as it could also be found in many examples in the Holy Texts.

Men chosen by God are not magicians. Let us use Elijah again as an example of what we are speaking about. Back to 1 Kings: 18:
[our underscoring]

...Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth put his face between his knees, [43] And he said to his servant: Go up, and look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times. [44] And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man's foot. And he said: Go up and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot and go down, lest the rain prevent thee. [45] And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds, and wind, and there fell a great rain.

Elijah did not snap his fingers or waved a magic wand while saying the famous 'abracadabra' incantation and the rain fell. He humbly prayed, and prayed some more, until the rain came about as God had promised. Had it been another individual who had followed the same procedure - it would not have rained. It was Elijah the one who had to do it, but he still used the God established technique for all: through humble and persistent prayer.

We are so far along into the End of These Times that we feel free to tell you - I know what you read above for a fact - from ample first hand experiences. Whether the reader believes it or not it will not make a difference to us - only to the reader.

(1) It is interesting to note that this type of behavior is not found in the New Testament among the key players in early Christianity.


From Mr. G.R. @ US

In the latest Forwarded News you stated, while referring to the U.S. and S.K. military forces who are ignoring the Presidential command to stop the military exercises, that:

"What you read above is the first public indication of the plans for a military Coup d'État in the U.S. and get President Trump out of office and place the U.S. under Martial Law."

From an earlier set of sources concerning military concern over Obama's misdeeds, US military was back then actually contemplating a COUP! (1)

G.R.

A. They are two completely different and opposing situations. In the case we speak about, the Coup d'État would be staged/organized by the Deep State/ Shadow Government leadership

In Obama's case - if it was true - it would have been staged by the military of the legitimate government since Obama was/is part of the Deep State/ Shadow Government.

Thank you for the opportunity to explain this matter further.

P.S. A reminder to one and all : We are not pro Trump, we are pro God and, regarding the slamming of the brakes on the Globalization, Trump is doing what is needed. He could use a bit of polish (and a new hair do??) but, just as President Clinton was serving God to secure a ten year delay in the road to Globalization, President Trump is being used by God to slam on the brakes to Globalization for good. Again, whether the reader believes it or not it will not make a difference to us - only to the reader.

From miguel de Portugal

Sisters, we have some awesome good news for you. Indeed men have been undervaluing you for millennia and we will use the inspired-by-God but written-by-men Holy Scriptures to prove it.

1. The Creation was not complete until God created the female member of the species. She was the crown of creation.
2. Eve was "made" from Adam's flesh - not from the "slime of the earth" [Gen. 2:7] as Adam was.
3. Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh. [Genesis 2:24]  Basically the man became member of the wife's family and not the reverse.
4. Yes, Eve was fooled by the serpent but the serpent was embodying a powerful supernatural evil force. Adam was fooled by just another human - Eve.
5. The only human being who is the only one second to God is Mary - a woman. Let's not forget that Jesus is God in the flesh.
6. Of all of Jesus' companions, the first one who saw Him after His resurrecting was a woman - Mary Magdalen.

Well, that should be enough to set the record straight. That does not mean that the Priesthood should include women but, as we have also clearly pointed out in an earlier document (1), women should occupy places in the highest governing bodies of the Catholic Churches - East and West - as Cardinals or its equivalent.

Have you heard that.... an Israeli Member of Parliament invoked the supremacy of ‘Jewish race’ in bizarre pro-Netanyahu tirade? (1)
 
The ‘Jewish race’ is the smartest in the world and possesses the highest human capital, so Israelis ought to be skeptical about the current corruption probes into Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu, a Likud party lawmaker has claimed.

“I can tell you something very basic,” MK Miki Zohar said, during a debate on Radio 103FM on Wednesday, as cited by the Times of Israel: “You can’t fool the Jews, no matter what the media writes. The public in Israel is a public that belongs to the Jewish race, and the entire Jewish race is the highest human capital, the smartest, the most comprehending.”

Comment: Without getting into the theological aspects of such claim...

Doesn't that poor man realize that he is speaking/thinking just as Hitler did about the Aryan race, and that if they - the jewish race - indeed were "the smartest, the most comprehending" race, they would not have lost over six million of their people to Hitler?

And this man is a member of the Israeli Parliament?

Lord have Mercy!

From miguel de Portugal

The following quotes from a report published by the Opus Dei friendly CRUX Now (1) tell us more than the actual news of a weeping statue at Our Lady of Guadalupe (2) Church in Hobbs, New Mexico.

The Las Cruces Catholic Diocese, the governing body of all Catholic churches in southern New Mexico, is investigating a statue of the Virgin Mary at a Hobbs church that appears to be shedding tears.

Parishioners say recently tears have streamed down the face of the statue at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported. The church has since become a destination for travelers to see what many have called a miracle.

The diocese will first try to determine if the tears are a supernatural occurrence, Bishop Oscar Cantu said. This part of the probe includes laboratory tests of the liquid believed to be tears, eyewitness interviews and scrutiny of possible natural causes, including human tampering.

It is unclear how long the investigation will take to complete.

But the interesting part is:
[our underscoring]

But if the diocese concludes the tears are a supernatural phenomenon, officials will then try to decipher the underlying message, Cantu said.

Statues of Mary have been shedding tears for decades with the one at Akita (3) having been approved by the Vatican in spite of the Apocalyptic message delivered. But now.... from a relatively minor occurrence (when compared with many other major ones) the Opus Dei friendly Bishop Cantu is concerned and wants to "decipher the underlying message".

Obviously they are now trying to prop up their plans (4) through Medjugorje (5) and the Marian Movement of Priests (6) by drawing the U.S. Hispanic crowd using the most venerated manifestation of Mary amongst Latin Americans  - Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Brethren make sure that you, and those in your lists, become fully aware of the magnitude of the deception that will be used to entrap millions in the False Christ web.

Remember....

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 12:48]

...and we, without any false shame or false humility, proclaim that what God has given our readers through The M+G+R Foundation pages has been much - and to the credit of the precious few who have made it possible through their financial contributions.

In the Mass of.... June 12th the Gospel was the following:

[13] You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. [16] So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.  [Matthew 5:13-16]

There are two items in that text that we wish to highlight:

(a) With the "salt" Jesus was referring to the Evangelizers. Can you now see why the Evangelization failed? Can you now also see why the little real faith that existed due to the few star Evangelizers such as Don Bosco, Teresa de Jesus, Gertrude and few others is now being "trodden on by men" under the direction of "Pope" Francis?

(b) If the Opus Dei were truly the light of the world they would not be so secretive in their membership, activities, penetration within the fabric of society, etc. The opposite can be seen in Don Bosco's trajectory wherein his activities were all in the open even though Italy was undergoing probably the most anticlerical period of its Christian history.

What fools!....

But then a closet Opus Dei sympathizer would ask us - Did not Jesus also say:

[1] Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. [2] Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. [3] But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. [4] That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. etc. [Matthew 6]

To which we would reply: "Oh yes, He did but the above teachings from Jesus have one key purpose: Warn us about not doing all of those things just to be seen and admired by others because that is all that they will get!"

 The Latest....
Trump says Kim is 'very smart', that North Korea to denuclearize 'very, very quickly'

U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a “comprehensive” document on Tuesday following a historic summit in Singapore aimed at the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

There were no immediate details on the contents of the document but Trump said he expected the denuclearization process to start “very, very quickly”.

Trump said he had formed a “very special bond” with Kim and that relationship with North Korea would be very different.

Asked whether he would invite Kim to the White House, Trump said: “Absolutely, I will.”

He called Kim “very smart” and a “very worthy, very hard negotiator.” (1)

Comments: A miracle? Let us wait a while before building a Peace Shrine in Singapore. Kim's rush to leave Singapore right away should give all of us pause for thought.

The First Reading.... for the Mass of Sunday was Genesis 3:9-15 where we read:
After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, the Lord God called to the man and asked him, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself." Then he asked, "Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!"

Now think about this: Do you know of any mammal (1) that is concerned about its nakedness? Have you noticed that those lost tribes of humans in Africa, the Amazon, etc. remain practically naked or fully naked for their entire lives without any concern?

Meditate about it and let the Holy Spirit of God "talk to you". You will then see how fully fallen the "civilized" and "advanced" man is.
____________________
(1) Let us not forget that we were just another mammal until God breathed His Spirit into the humanoid species of mammals and we became what Adam and Eve represent as we revealed elsewhere.


In the Gospel.... [Mark 3:20-35] for the same Mass we are reminded again of something that we should never, EVER, forget:
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" And looking around at those seated in the circle Jesus said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."

We do not want any surprises when some of our readers, on a global scale, may say after crossing the veil: 

Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. [Matthew 25:11-12]

Just as I wrote two hours ago to the biological daughter of the man who became miguel de Portugal:
But taking the examples from the One I serve - if you choose not to accept my recommendation, as the saying goes "I am good" before His Eyes and will not loose sleep over it.

As it should be, in accordance to the state of Free Will that God granted all of us, it is your choice.

You see, although it may be hard or impossible for many to understand it, in my eyes she is no more important than any other of God's children on the global scale. Her biological father died on March 19, 1985.


From Mrs. PD @ US

After the G-7 meeting everyone (1) is going crazy with Trump. (2)

One World Government group maybe ready to take him down. 

Will be praying for his safety.

PD

A. All God needs is our prayers so that His Will be done in all details.

Globalization will never happen and we need to - through prayers- help God to prevent it with a minimun of suffering for the world.

June 9th

From miguel de Portugal

In the past we have pointed out the real intellectual limitations of "Pope" Francis. That evaluation was made after viewing two one hour long casual interviews by his media friends from the past. Since the interviews were in his native Spanish we could evaluate the situation better.

Since then the poor man has confirmed such evaluation by his many incoherent statements and actions of the past five years, but this time, as the saying goes, he outdid himself in confirming our evaluation of his intellectual limitations. Read on...

According to "Pope" Francis, we have three (mystical) mothers:
[our highlights]

(1) Mary, Mother of the Church;
(2) "The Hierarchical Holy Mother Church"; and
(3) Our soul

These are his own words: (1)

Thank you so much for your presence, for inaugurating this day of Mary Mother of the Church. Let us all say from our heart, all together: "Monstra te esse matrem". Always: "Monstra te esse matrem". It is prayer: "Make us feel that you are the mother", that we are not alone, that You accompany us as a mother. It is the motherhood of the Church, of the Hierarchical Holy Mother Church, which is gathered here ... But that she is a mother. "Hierarchical Holy Mother Church", as Saint Ignatius [of Loyola] so liked to say. May Mary, our Mother, help us so that the Church may be a mother. And - following the inspiration of the fathers - may our soul also be a mother. The three women: Mary, the Church and our soul. All three mothers. May the Church be Mother, may our soul be a Mother.

In such a mess of alleged parenting, is he pretending that Mary is our great grandmother? Or what?

To make worse the confusion, he is identifying "the Church" with "the Hierarchical Holy Mother Church", as it is clearly reflected in the title of the corresponding Vatican report: (2)

Pope Francis: The Church, like Mary, is woman and mother

But that was on May. Now is June and the concept of "the Church" transmuted again: (3)

Pope Francis: The Church is not just the bishops - it's everyone

Of course, such a clarification - "The Church is not just the bishops" - would be totally unnecessary if precisely the bishops and the alleged Pope were not using continuously the word "Church" with duplicity.


Mind you, the sources are not from Francis' enemies. The first two are from the Vatican and the third one is from CRUX, which is as if it were from the Vatican itself.

Using legalistic language: We rest our case!

On yesterday's Gospel.... [Mark 12:28-34] we hear again about the rock upon which Judaism and Christianity is based:

One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."

The response that Jesus gave can take the place of the entire Old and New Testaments. Nothing else is needed.  It is that simple, yet most Jews and Christians have chosen to ignore it for more centuries than we wish to count...., but, if you want to count them, then go all the way back to Moses and the Exodus.

Ignoring such fundamental teachings has to be the greatest tragedy humanity has lived.


While speaking about Moses.... in one of the parts of our last post we stated: Go with God's flow - He knows well what He is doing and what is ahead for us. It may be unusual and/or unexpected, however, it will never be illegal, immoral nor will violate any of His Laws as some of the Biblical stories relate.

Just in case someone became uncomfortable by the underlined portion of the statement, we will give you two crystal clear examples as to why we made that statement:

First we see the God appointed priest, Aaron, cave in to the people's complaints and....

Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me. [3] And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron. [4] And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders' work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt. [5] And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier's voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord. [6] And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play. [Exodus 32]

Then we see Moses, in a fit of fury, when he saw what Aaron had done, order the slaughter of many - except Aaron, of course...

.... he said: If any man be on the Lord's side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him: [27] And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour. [28] And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.  [Exodus 32]

So much for God Commandments! By the way, if you carefully review the text, it seems that only the sons of Levi survived the massacre. What happened to the rest? Are all Jews now descendants of the sons of Levi?

This is why we must read, study and learn from the Holy Texts as we have suggested elsewhere: Biblical Literalism or Symbolism? Part I and Part II .

In addition, the above examples if not properly explained from the pulpit will also, subconsciously, erode the faith further. The subconscious "thinks": (a) Here is the man who brought the law of Thou shalt not kill down from the mountain and here is ordering a massacre of brothers, friends and neighbors; (b) Here is the main priest appointed by God, and just to please the masses turn his back to God and build a golden idol; and (c) Here are the two men who were used by God to lead His people out of slavery, who witnessed the awesome power of God and now just ignore Him and do as their very fallen humanity moves them to do.

But then again.... can you picture your standard run of the mill rabbi or priest telling their congregation that what Aaron and Moses, not to mention David and many other chosen ones, did was wrong?

It is unthinkable... until our time. In our time, anyone in authority who misrepresents God and His Laws - whether in the Holy Texts or by those dressed as demi-gods as many in the - East and West - Hierarchy do causing faith damaging scandals, will be publicly denounced.


June 7th

From miguel de Portugal

On the last issue of this page we gave some examples on how to interact with God and utilize granted prayerful requests. Since then we had an experience which best exemplifies the meaning of "going with the flow" - that is, God's flow.

We have experienced this many times over the last 33 years but the most recent experience, besides being very fresh in my mind it also is a textbook example.

As we may have written before - we have systematically rejected the use of Smart Phones, Tablets, Apps, etc. Our phone is the most basic style available - it is only good for phone calls and text messages. No camera, voice recorders, etc., etc.

The experience....

We usually download the telephone monthly statement from our on-line account page. However, this month we just could not even enter into our on-line account page. I made a mental note of stopping by the local Vodafone office, as soon as I could spare the time, to get the monthly statement through them.

Finally we were able to visit them last Tuesday - since we still could not access our on-line account page. Instead of the usual one employee there were two more - one of them, unbeknownst to me, was a supervisor doing some routine checking on the local office records.

The regular employee knows me and my preference for the most basic use of phones. She had a box in her hand - that is all I noticed. I asked for the statement and she politely and efficiently proceeded to secure it and to print it. While the printing was in progress she motioned with the box (still not identified by me as to what it was) towards me and said: "Why don't you take this phone - it's free?"

It was then that I noticed that the box contained a Smart Phone Samsung Galaxy J7 - just what I don't need nor want!

My response was something like: "What would I want that phone? You know that I only use a basic phone." To which the supervisor, turning around to face me, added: "Because it's free!"

At that point all became clear - For some reason God had "set me up" so that I would have that phone for some future purpose. Of course I accepted. Since then I have prayed to God to illuminate me as to how I am to use that phone that He literally placed in my hands. Until then, it will remain in its box.

Let's now review the string of "coincidences" which led to owning this "I don't want" phone: (a) The usual method used to get my monthly statement did not work for days; (b) The day I was able to stop by the store to get the statement they were quite busy with store/comapny matters - no idle time for chit-chat; (c) The employee who assisted me knows me and is the same one who sold me to the bare bones phone that I use - and who, at the time of the purchase, heard my tirade against Smart Phones; (d) She had the phone on her hand when I walked in; (e) They were having that promotion (I assume, although I did not see any advertising to that effect); (f) There were no strings attached to acquiring the phone - she printed the invoice, for warranty purposes, which showed the full price of the phone and the discount made, which was equal to the full price of the phone. There is a 18 month period within which I cannot cancel my account.... Big deal!... I have had my account with them for over 15 years already!

Naturally, on the following day I was able to access our on-line account page as we have always been able to... until the time which triggered the string of events listed above.

I have prayed to God for the illumination as to what we are to use that phone for. Until we hear for Him on this matter the phone will remain in its box.

I pray that we have been able to fulfill the objective for which we have related to you this seemingly mundane story: Go with God's flow - He knows well what He is doing and what is ahead for us. It may be unusual and/or unexpected, however, it will never be illegal, immoral nor will violate any of His Laws as some of the Biblical stories relate.


In yesterday's Gospel.... [Mark 12:18-27] we read about the theoretical case in which a woman married seven brothers, each after the prior one had died, seeking descendants for her first husband. Jesus is asked what will happen after the resurrection: Whose wife shall she be? Jesus was quite clear as to how things would be: When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven.

But wait! They would be like the angels in Heaven? What about the following scene?

Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not. But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.

But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat? And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb. And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them. [Luke 24:36-43]

Obviously the resurrected Jesus was not 'like the angels in heaven' - angels in heaven do not eat - yet the above mentioned woman and seven husbands were indeed 'like the angels in heaven'. What is going on? Had the copyists of the original texts had had too much wine before getting to work? Hardly!

Once you understand the difference between the First and Second Resurrections all will become crystal clear and the copyists reputation would remain intact.

In the scene described by Luke 24:36-43 we are dealing with the First Resurrection while what we read in Mark 12:18-27 refers to the Second Resurrection.

Should you be thoroughly confused by now - don't worry. We have, obviously through the Grace of God, explained the difference in This Document.

God is indeed Good!

I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. [Matthew 11:25]

P.S. Of course, there still is a question to be answered - What would happen in that situation during the First Resurrection? The Good Lord has not given me the full answer yet. Should He choose to do so, we will share it with you then.

In yesterday's Divine Encouragement we spoke about reading - for the first time in 25 years - a journal that I kept in 1993. Although it contains not more than 30 or 40 pages it was packed with information and confirmations which I had forgotten about - something logical after so many years have gone by.

One of the most striking element that I found was that the fundamental messages that we are still delivering today, may be found in that journal - the same words, phrases and sentences. Of course, I should not be surprised since they are not from me, they are from Him, and He is Eternal.

In addition there was some information which we felt compelled to share with you. Information dealing with prayerful requests and God's response to them; information which will help the readers in their interaction with God.

In the already referred to Divine Encouragement we wrote:

...prayerful requests that I wrote down back in 1993 have all been perfectly fulfilled.

....  in the fulfillment of some of the requests He took into the account the ten year delay that He would be granting to the world, a delay that I was not even aware until the year 2001. If He had granted some of those requests without taking into account the ten year delay, the timing would have been very bad. That is why we keep repeating that we must leave the timing for the fulfillment of our prayerful request to Him.

Among those requests was to be able to visit the Holy Land. Now, keep in mind that I was essentially penniless at that time. I had forgotten about this request and what ensued, thus bringing to mind the crux of today's message/sharing: About prayerful requests, the granting of the favors by God and how to act upon them.

When we ask for something in prayer, deferring to the Will of God, (and we have the required merits in our 'Heavenly account') God will grant us the requested favor at the best possible time. However, that does not mean that we should not take a look at our world at that moment and reevaluate our original request before acting upon the granted request.

An example....

There was a family in Fatima who started their businesses (store, cafe, hostel) in the early days of Fátima. Obviously they made much money since their establishments were at the very edge of the Sanctuary complex. Without my asking (since at that time I could not ask for help) they helped me from time to time. Then, one good day, they invited me to go with them to the Holy Land.

From the time I prayed to God to be able to visit the Holy Land and its manifestation through the extended invitation, much had happened in my life. I no loner was essentially penniless... I was outright penniless. My situation had changed and the number one priorities now were to secure the funds to survive - read: a room to live in and food to eat - and to continue to fulfill His Will.

I spoke to my friend who was a Chaplain of the Fatima Sanctuary and, knowing well my situation, he asked me if I would like for him to ask the generous lady to instead of paying for my trip to give me the much needed cash. Leaving the outcome in the Hands of God I agreed. He asked the kind lady and she, without hesitation, assented to give me the money in three installments. And so it was that I was able to survive and continue writing and mailing material throughout the world.

What do we have here? The prayer was answered and the response from God, given at the right time, was converted into what I needed the most at the time to serve Him - cash!

Some may ask: What if what God intended for you to do was to go to the Holy Land even if you were penniless? The answer is quite simple: The kind lady would have refused to give me the cash; the choice would have been the trip or nothing.... in which case I would have taken the trip since all expenses were paid and my penniless status would not have interfered with it.

We have another example from that list of prayerful requests made in the year 1993.

I needed someone to help me in my day to day living activities plus processing and disseminating the information that continued to pour in from God, so that I could better focus my attention on what I had left the world to serve God for.

God started the wheels turning to fulfill that request on a part time basis in the year 2003 - amazingly enough, ten years after my request to best fit the ten year delay God had granted the world - and full time, with additional technical assistance included, since the year 2014.

Now, just because God granted that request and it has been - and continues to be - a Blessing to our work, it does not mean that, should that assistance become a stumbling block to me due to personal interaction, I would continue to accept it.

Overall message - interaction with God is not a scrupulous, non deviating from original course situation. Interaction with God is a "go with the flow" situation, but it must be God's flow.

As always - if something is not crystal clear to any of our readers, please ask and we will strive to clarify it further.


On an unrelated.... but just as important matter:

We must not forget that Fundamentalism - invariably - breeds behavior contrary to the Laws of God.

It is imperative that the faithful understand its mechanism.

The stakes are too high not to. It will not determine whether one will go to heaven or hell since that is known by God since the moment a soul is manifested in Time. However, it will determine how long one will stay in Purgatory - which, as Mary has illustrated, could be as long as to the End of Time. That is not a pretty picture! since the retribution for our transgressions is to view, as in a never ending film, the consequences of our sins.

From miguel de Portugal

The first reading for Friday's Mass [1 Peter 4:7-13] is so completely applicable and valid for today that we feel compelled to reproduce it below:

The end of all things is at hand. Therefore be serious and sober-minded so that you will be able to pray. Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Be hospitable to one another without complaining. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Beloved, do not be surprised that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as if something strange were happening to you. But rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly.

We could have written that word by word for I know it is the absolute truth including the timing.

Then we have the Gospel [Mark 11:11-26] of the same Mass where we see Jesus....

....seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went over to see if he could find anything on it. When he reached it he found nothing but leaves; it was not the time for figs. And he said to it in reply, "May no one ever eat of your fruit again!"
Then upon passing by it on the following day....

.....as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots. Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.

On the surface it certainly was a strange behavior for Jesus, wasn't it? Anyone from that area and time would know that it was not time for figs so, how could the Son of God would not know that? He did, but in a parable style manner He was using the event to deliver a very powerful message:

"Have faith in God. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.

A promised which is conditioned by:

.....when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.

Otherwise the promise will not be fulfilled.


Have you heard that... the Opus Dei Vatican continue their honeymoon with Medjugorje?

For the second time, Pope Francis is sending a special envoy to the famed site of Medjugorje, in this case to care for a local parish that sees millions of pilgrims arriving each year because of what some believe are apparitions of Mary Our Lady Queen of Peace at the Bosnian-Herzegovinian location.

The Vatican announced Thursday that Archbishop Henryk Hoser, now retired as the Archbishop of Warsaw in Poland, has been appointed Apostolic Visitor "for an undetermined time" to the Saint James parish of Medjugorje, which is run by the Franciscan friars. (1)

Comments: Obviously they have decided to utilize the alleged Medjugorje secrets for their plans as we have clearly explained in one of our documents (2). It is amazing how the now allegedly "Marian" Bergoglio continues to ignore the very important Marian Manifestation in his own country at San Nicolás, Argentina. Amazing but perfectly coherent with reality and not with the virtual reality most are living now.

It is also interesting to note.... in reference to the Opus Dei-Medjugorje connection, that Jelena Vasilj was one of the visionaries of Medjugorje married an Opus Dei convert. (1)

In August 2002, she married with a man named Massimiliano Valente. When Massimiliano, husband of Jelena Vasilij, was asked "Which Saints do you feel are close to you in this moment?" his response was: (2) (our highlighting)

St. Frances of Rome who was called to sanctify herself through matrimony and who also founded the Order of Oblates. Then a servant of God, Umberto Mori, father of a family who distinguished himself as a Christian in the world of labour. Then, of course, Blessed Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, whose writings were very important to my formation as a Christian. They helped me understand the meaning of holiness in one's everyday life.

In reference to.... the frequency of over 5.0 in the Richter scale earthquakes for the year 2018 we can now say - with five months of data in hand - that it is about the same as it was in the year 2017 which, in turn was nearly three times what it was for the average of the three prior years (2016, 2015, 2014).
