On
today's Mass....
the Gospel is from Luke 21:29-33, but the real timing of the events
described in that Gospel only becomes obvious in the following one -
Luke 21: 34-36. It is important that
we review them now.
In Luke 21:29-33 we read:
See the fig tree,
and all the trees: When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that
summer is nigh; So you also, when you shall see these things come to
pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen, I say to you, this
generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.
Heaven
and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The 'denial set' will say: "He is talking about then and not about now.
See, He says 'this generation shall
not pass away, till all things be fulfilled'. 'This generation'
means the generation of His time."
The proverbial other shoe falls when we continue into Friday's Gospel -
Luke: 21:34-36:
And
take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come
upon you suddenly. For as a
snare shall it come
upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
He is not talking of
Jerusalem where He was crucified and which
was destroyed in 70 AD. He is talking about 'shall it come upon the face of the whole
earth.'
He is talking about now and 'this
generation'.
In
His concluding statement in verse 36:
Watch
ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before
the
Son of man.
He could not make it any
clearer.
Where do you
think I got
the idea to recommend one and all to
Pray,
Pray, Pray and then
Pray
Some More to minimize the suffering of the Elect
and the world hits bottom?
That is why I can declare with great confidence
and peace:
I declare to you
today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. For I have not
hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.
[Acts 20:26-28]

As most of our readers know we have two documents
(1)(2) which present the
true Islamic faith in an even handed and just light. However, this
does not mean that:
(a) We may concur, agree or condone
with any form of
radical behavior; and
(b) The Western world - which has not been formed under the teachings
of the Qur'an - must adjust its customs so that they are acceptable to
the Muslim population.
Our position about immigrants or foreigners, temporarily residing in
the US, has not changed since I was at Texas A&M University back in
the early sixties. As I would tell my many foreign student
friends:
If you do not like how
things are done here, either work within
the system in an effort to
make the changes that you deem necessary, or, pack your bags and go
home!
I spend most of my time in Spain now. Their living schedule (sleep,
meals, socializing) does not fit with what I have been accustomed for
more years than I want to count. Solution - I live under UK time frame
which meshes perfectly with the Spanish society scheduling. My wrist
watch and all my clocks - computer included - show one hour earlier
than it is in Spain. Now we mesh perfectly.
Spaniards tend to be loud and seem to all talk at the same time. To sit
in a waiting room for me is very hard - I cannot even pray due to the
raucous. Do I complain? No! This IS their country! I either wear
earplugs or, in extreme cases, industrial grade silencing head
gear. I do get funny looks at times but, what can I say?, the looks are
free.....

ultimate victim.
Comment:
Dr. Bechly forgot a key warning clearly stated in the Holy Texts:
You cannot serve God and mammon.
[Matthew
6:24] Such warning is key in determining who is a religious
institution - and its leaders - really serving. Do we need to call
Daniel for an

In the Mass Gospel reading on the Solemnity of Christ the King
[Mt
25:31-46]
we hear Jesus explaining in no uncertain terms that:
'Come,
you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world.
......
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Then he will say to those on his
left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for
the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I
was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no
welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you
did not care for me.'
....
'Amen, I say to you, what you did not
do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will
go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Brethren, last October 13th was the 26th anniversary of my "being on
the road" at His invitation. I have come across thousands of Christians
on a personal basis, and millions have read our pages. Based on such
experiences I can better understand
and accept why only
this
many people will be left
after the Tribulation.
It is a shame that so many individuals who claim Christianity do not
even believe in His Words - much less act upon them.
On the positive side - we know that those who have never heard of Jesus
or have been lied to about His Messianic reality, if amongst the Elect,
will inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the
world.
All we have to do is offer prayers so that their suffering be kept at
the bare minimum for they are fully innocent of their ignorance.
and also....
On the Gospel of November 25th
[Lk 20:27-40] we read
about the some
Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection,
coming forward and asking Jesus about a woman who had become a widow
seven times. They wanted to know whose wife she would be at the
resurrection. Of course, even though that was a trick question by the
Sadducees, if we asked most Christians today, with the best intentions,
they may answer just as
Jesus did:
...those who are
deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of
the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer
die, for they are like angels...
But then, if we asked them:
Which
resurrection Jesus was talking about? The First or the Second? The Sacred
Texts teach us that there will be two Resurrections.
They, in most cases, will stumble when faced with that question. In
case you need to help someone with the right answer, you might want to
refresh your memory
about the timing of the First
and Second Resurrections.

In a recently forwarded news report we addressed the fact that the
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill urged Russians to unite to prevent
the second coming of Christ... and we commented:
We
are certainly glad that Patriarch Kirill was not around to try to
bludgeon Judas Iscariot to death before he betrayed Jesus!
At least he, in his own deranged way,
is indeed identifying the times that we are living through.
We have a comment or two to add....
Kirill's reaction is unbelievable, specially when we remember Jesus'
reaction when Peter tried to stop Him from going to Jerusalem where
He would become the Sacrificial Lamb of God.
[31]
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many
things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and
the scribes, and be killed:.... And Peter taking him, began to
rebuke him. [33] Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened
Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the
things that are of God, but that are of men. [Mark 8]
Secondly, the poor disoriented man cannot tell the difference between
the End of These Times and the End of the World even though it is
clearly explained in the Sacred Texts.
Instead of calling for action to minimize the suffering as the world
hits bottom, as God has ordered me to do, he is really calling for
lengthening the period of
suffering and perversion by calling for a delay on the return of Jesus,
which would then result
in even the elect being deceived.
[Matthew
24:24]
As you can see, as we have said before - It is not just the Roman
Catholic Church where the smoke of satan has entered; it is everywhere!
Come Lord Jesus and renew the face of the Earth!
Have you heard that....
Google will 'de-rank' Russia Today articles to make them harder to
find?
(1)
Eric Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of
Google's parent company Alphabet, says the company will "engineer"
specific algorithms for Russia Today and Sputnik to make their articles
less prominent on the search engine’s news delivery services.
Comment:
Now Google has become the global censor of news. Their planned action
against
Russia Today and Sputnik we now know.... but, the question is: "What
other de-ranking they have done to prevent information from reaching
the general public and about which we know nothing about?"
But if that were not enough....
Google is facing scrutiny for
reportedly collecting data about the location of smartphone users
without their knowledge.
Regulators in South Korea summoned Google representatives this week to
question them about a report that claimed the company was collecting
data from Android devices even
when location services were disabled. (2)

The parable in the Gospel of yesterday's Mass
[Luke 19:11-28]
closes with a very grim statement:
Now as for those
enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and
slay them before me.
We are sure that such barbaric statement - when taken literally - has
been used to justify innumerable atrocities by the "Evangelizers".
The real message is that those souls who have not accepted Jesus
Christ as the Messiah (
their king),
at the Time of Judgment (
before me)
will not live (
slay them)
Eternally.
There is another gem in said Gospel which has been often used to abuse
the
poor for the benefit of the rich.
I
tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who
has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Jesus is speaking of faith and not material possessions. The more faith
we have, the more we open up to God and, the more we open up to God,
the
greater faith will be given to us - as well as all that
accompanies
a faithful soul.
Those who have little faith and do not open up to God, the trials of
the world will cause them to lose the little faith they had.

While searching into our files we came across of a letter and

Italy, France, and Portugal at their respective Embassies in
Washington D.C. back in 1999. I had forgotten about such very important
mailing, as well as the fact that
the full Spanish version was also
sent to the Ambassadors of the same countries accredited
in Madrid, Spain,
five
years earlier in August 22, 1994.
Each letter, with the attachments, was addressed individually; that is,
it was not a form letter type of mailing. May this be another

The purpose of the

part of said documents is that the events in them, described from a
Biblical and religious point of view, are totally coherent with
a cold political and socio-philosophical analysis of the events
developing in the world today.
This entire communication
only seeks reflection and awareness. The value contained in the
information in here transmitted must be individually sought and
assimilated. It is not our intent to try to convince anyone. Each
government must recognize on his own, by means of the intellectual and
spiritual resources at its disposal, the situation his country finds
itself in as one of the components of the nuclear keg into which the
world has transformed itself in.
Unfortunately, most of the
information that comes to us via the media has been processed and
slanted by power brokers in order to manipulate our thinking. However,
Beware!, these visible power brokers are frequently manipulated
themselves by means of the official and, sometimes, supposedly

From
miguel de Portugal
In a recent Mass the Gospel was from Luke 18:1-8. We are sure that our
readers may have heard it read many times but we will bring it up today
because the message is more crucial today than ever: If we persist in
prayers, God Will respond in accordance to His Will.
Jesus
told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray
always without becoming weary.
He said, "There was a judge in a
certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And
a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just
decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time the judge was
unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that I neither
fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps
bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally
come and strike me.'"
The Lord said, "Pay attention to what
the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his
chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to
answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for
them speedily.
The only delay in the manifestation of our request will be caused by
God's rearranging matters in order to correct whatever mess we
have made before we asked for His help.
However, the problem the world is facing today regarding prayer may be
found on
the last sentence of the the reading.
But when the Son of
Man comes, will he find faith on earth?
At the time when prayer is most needed in the history of mankind is
when the
level of faith - thus the desire and will to pray - is at its lowest.
From Kirill @
Patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Russia
"All people who love the Motherland
must
be together because we are entering a critical period in the course of
human civilization. This can already be seen with the naked eye. You
have to be blind not to notice the approaching awe-inspiring moments in
history that the apostle and evangelist John was talking about in the
Book of Revelation."
In a public speech in the main Moscow cathedral, Patriarch Kirill said
the signs from the Book of Revelation are now apparent. He also called
on politicians and ordinary citizens to unite and stop the movement
towards the abyss. (1)
Comments:
As we have often said using slightly different words: "
You
have to be blind not to notice the
approaching awe-inspiring
moments in history that the apostle and evangelist John was talking
about in the Book of Revelation."
Patriarch Kirill is the first head of a major church to finally
acknowledge the truth. This is consoling to us since we contacted his
predecessor many years ago with the appropriate information which
also resulted in greatly limiting the Opus Dei activities in Russia.
The
same can be said of China - that is why the traffic from China to our
pages is only second to that of the U.S.
All of this is possible through the Grace of God manifested through
those who extend a helping hand in our fulfilling of His Will.

Have you heard about....
an Italian parish priest that Francis and his minions are using to
remind one and all not to contest the Vatican?
We have made this communication into a guest document instead of
including it in this
mailing because it contains a YouTube video which may not travel well
as an e-mail. The introduction of the document read as follows:
We
have become aware of the no longer discreet Gestapo behavior by
Francis' Vatican and we feel that we should share it with our readers.
The reader and viewer who is familiar with our
function will
now quickly see another manifestation of what we have been warning the
world for years - this time it is so obvious that only those in deep
denial will not be able to recognize it.
Although we do not agree with every
statement Don Minutella makes in
this video declaration - for example he continues to refer to the Roman
Catholic Church as our Mother when Mary, and only Her, is the Mother
of the Mystical Body of Christ which, in turn, is composed of all
Christians who are striving to live His Word - Don Minutella's core
messages on where "we are at now" are on
target.
For those who do not know us - we
uphold the Catholic Faith, it is the
Roman Catholic Administration we summarily reject with the noted
exceptions.
Let us pray so that other priests
join Don Minutella and stand up and proclaim - as we have been doing
for 19 years - that is is God Whom we must obey and not man [Acts 5:29]
- and then live it.

The Gospel of yesterday's Mass - Luke 17:26-37 - is quite applicable
today but, at the end, it may leave the faithful in a state of
suspense.
Let us review it:
Jesus
said to his disciples: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in
the days of the Son of Man;... Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot:
they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the
day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to
destroy them all.
So it will be on the day the Son of
Man is revealed. On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose
belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise
one in the field must not return to what was left behind.
Remember the wife of Lot. Whoever
seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save
it.... there will be two women grinding meal together; one will
be taken, the other left." They said to him in reply, "Where, Lord?" He
said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather."
All is quite clear until we read the last two sentences: "
They said to
him in reply, 'Where,
Lord?' He said to them, 'Where
the body is, there
also the vultures will gather.'"
Jesus' answer simply makes no sense as written. Now, let us change just
one word and the message will become crystal clear:
"They
said to him in reply, 'When, Lord?'
He said to them, 'Where the body is, there also the vultures will
gather.'"
Now it makes sense.
'Where the body
is, there also the vultures will gather' convey the same
message as
the commonly used
'Where there is smoke
there is a fire' .
That is - the gathering of vultures is a sure sign of the
presence of a (dead) body and so are the signs that will be everywhere
just before His Second coming.
Jesus has used the "sign of the times" to wake us up several times.
Just recently we read in the Gospel:
When
it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.
And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and
lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the
times? [Matthew 16:2-3]
It seems that the original translators of Luke 17:37 mistakenly
read or translated the word "
when"
as "
where" - just as they did
with the statement
'Where the body
is, there also the vultures
will gather' which, in Matthew
24:28, reads as follows:
Wheresoever
the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered
together.
One says
vultures and another
says
eagles.
Another Biblical Mystery solved and our message is, once again,
confirmed:
Pay attention to the signs of the times
we are living; signs which
are everywhere. Do not squander your time "eating, drinking, buying, selling,
planting, building" - focus in prayer and fasting because it
will happen so suddenly that 'who is
on the
housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get
them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left
behind'. .
Remember, dear ones.... We are not selling survival supplies. We are
giving away the means to minimize the upcoming suffering for which
there is no escape, although the intensity can be reduced on an
individual basis.
From (Mrs.) LM @ US
I just wanted to drop you a note about the effects of our focused
prayers. You have sent us some confirming "Winks from God" and I
think we have
another one.
Our group prayers are, "
...on behalf
of all
those who are suffering throughout the world as a result of our greed
and iniquities..."
Well here in the US., it seems the floodgates have opened up on
unacceptable behavior of men toward women men, and in some cases,
teenage girls and boys, in the Entertainment Industry and Government
since Harvey Weinstein's allegations were revealed.
I don't think a day has gone by without a report concerning another
individual. All of this cannot be false. If this is coming out and
those people repent, great. If they are giving just hollow,
"I am sorry's", they missed the point.
LM
A. Good to hear from you.
We have missed your correspondence.
Yes! You are right! That IS a major Divine Wink and benefiting a
situation that is on the top of our "to correct" list.
Even if those who may miss the point
will think twice before
doing something like that for the first time or again.
If people were aware about how damaging is to wound the sexual aspect
of a human being, a greater effort would be placed in preventive
education. Conversely, since God has given satan a free hand as we
approach the End of These Times, anything and everything that could
damage the sexual aspect of a human being is being done and promoted.
In Spain and Portugal the physical (not sexual) abuse of women has been
added to the sexual abuse, and the situation is dismal. It could be
stopped on its tracks if those who are trying to stop it were able to
think.... but they - as most on the entire world - are unable to.
All that the authorities have to heavily promote is
the reality that a
man who physically abuse a woman is a pathologically insecure male and
psychologically castrated. Once a potential abuser has been pre-labled
as such, he will think hard and long before he physically abuses a
woman, thus making public his condition.
Now, going back to those men who - in position of power - try to take
sexual advantage (read abuse) of females under/subject to them. They
are also
a pathologically insecure. A secure male
does not need a position of
power to get the attention of a female.
Understand: A shy man
is not
a pathologically insecure man - there is a
tremendous difference between the two. We are not referring to a
character trait as being naturally shy - we are referring to an
emotional/mental disorder.
Let's keep on praying on behalf of "...
all those who are suffering throughout the
world as a result of our greed and iniquities..." We owe
it to them!... actually, we owe it God!
Now, let enjoy
another
Divine Wink which we believe, for a number of reasons, that
actually
took place.

JB
A. First of all,
Thank you! for your continued, most
welcome and needed material support. Few have the vision that you do
and the sensitivity to our material needs to keep on going as God Wills
it.
To you, and the
precious few
who extend a hand to us, goes the credit for our reach on a
worldwide scale.
How many
End of Times
Christian ministries can claim that 13 % of North
Korea unique internet users visit their pages?
To place this in perspective, North Korea has 1,024 IP
addresses while the US has 1,541,605,760 IP addresses
(1). That is, if 13% of the
US IP addresses visited our pages, that would be over 200,000,000
visits from the US per month.
Of course, we have visits from essentially every nation in the world
(some of which I did not know existed!) and Spanish speaking readers
are downloading between 500 and 600 copies of Msgr. Straubinger's full
New Testament
(2)
that we have on-line.
Without counting Msgr. Straubinger's New Testament, the total downloads
in four page equivalent documents hovers around one million per month.
All of that is to your credit and that of those other who lend us a
hand in fulfilling the Will of God.
With that said and our gratitude publicly expressed, let us look at
your comment "
Unfortunately, the
people at the top of the US government and security
services are also susceptible to Mammon's lure of money, power and
self-righteousness." in the light of yesterday's Mass
first reading - Wisdom 6:1-11. Focusing on the the first five verses....
1 So
then, you kings, you rulers the world over, listen to what I say, and
learn from it. 2 You govern many lands and are proud that so many
people are under your rule, 3 but this authority has been given to you
by the Lord Most High. He will examine what you have done and what you
plan to do. 4 You rule on behalf of God and his kingdom, and if you do
not govern justly, if you do not uphold the law, if you do not live
according to God's will, 5 you will suffer sudden and terrible
punishment. Judgment is especially severe on those in power.
The above mentioned "kings" should be
interpreted as any who have
official authority over others - whether a President, or a Congressman
or a CIA agent or police officer handing out speeding tickets.
Tragically most Christians only give lip service to their Christianity
and act accordingly, so those who fit in "kings" category "...
will suffer sudden and terrible
punishment. Judgment is especially severe on those in power. "
Much more so than the lowly "
For
the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy"
[Wisdom 6:6]
Which brings us to why we must continue to pray much for those who fit
the "kings" category since there are some still blind and deaf members
of the Elect in that category and only prayer can reduce their "...
sudden and terrible punishment" and
mitigate their judgment which will be "....
especially severe on those in power."

My daughter is very appreciative of your prayers. I was
forgetting to tell you.
I’ve said this to you before, but I want to say it again. If I
listened to myself, I would be sending you a comment on just about
everything that you publish.
So very thought-provoking and spiritually enriching beyond words
are these publications! You truly are the Best Teacher in
the Ways of our God in these difficult/crazy times we live
in. You "tell it like it is" and have no qualms about
stepping on so-called high and mighty toes. Just like Jesus did.
Thank you for continuing to be such a profound inspiration to me, and I
have absolutely no doubt, for countless others as well. Only when
you are with Jesus in Heaven, will you truly be able to fully
understand the impact you have had on not just me, but on all those
many unknown others as well.
Prayers and sacrifices continue on your behalf.
LC
A. Thank you so very
much
for your kind words of encouragement as well as for your prayers and
sacrifices on behalf of our service to God.
Regarding your statement "
You 'tell
it like it is' and have no qualms about stepping on so-called high and
mighty toes."..... I am just following His instructions, just as
Jeremiah did:
And I
said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to
all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou
shalt speak. Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to
deliver thee, saith the Lord. [Jer. 1:6-8]
As God Wills it - and I am able to - we will continue to make sure that
the Elect have as brief a stay in Purgatory as possible while, at the
same time, making sure that those who are not destined for Heaven have no excuse before the
Throne of God. If 13% of the North Korean internet addresses can visit
our pages, anyone in this plant should be able to do so too!

In yesterday's Mass the Gospel Acclamation was:
Shine
on the world like bright stars; you are offering it the word of life.
[Ph 2:15]
And Jesus said through Matthew 5:16:
So
let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father who is in heaven.
And He also said through Luke 11:33:
No
man lights a candle, and places it in a hidden place, nor under a
bushel; but upon a candlestick, that they that come in, may see the
light.
But wait!
Didn't He also say through Matthew 6:6:
...when
you pray, enter into you chamber, and having shut the door, pray to
your Father in secret: and your Father who sees in secret will repay
you.
...because....
...when
you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and
pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be
seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
[Matthew 6:5]
Although in passing - as many Biblical texts are read, and heard in
Mass - it may sound contradictory and confusing, yet is perfectly
coherent.
As we often state - the most powerful Evangelization
is by example,
which brings us back to the initial Gospel Acclamation.
The light from the bright star - the offering of
the word of life -
is simply living,
without
fanfare, the Word of God - day in and day
out. Those around us will notice our different behavior as well as the
good results, and the still
disoriented members of the Elect will take notice and soon will begin
doing the same. We can preach until we "are blue in the face" but is
through
the striving to live the Word of God - day in and day out - that we
draw others to God.
This applies too in the professional field. Somehow my clients in
the Engineering as well as in the Gemological fields quickly discerned
that they could trust me, and only one out of hundreds questioned my
professional fees.
Was that as the result of any merit of mine? Of course not! I did not
come up with the laws to live by; God did... and they always - ALWAYS!
- work and produce the best possible results.
Which brings us to the explanation of the key:
And
do not set your heart on what you will
eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such
things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his
kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. [Luke 12:29-31]

Have you heard
that....
and alegedly mystic Rabbi announced that: "Very Soon Messiah Will Be
Revealed to Everyone"
(1)
Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, a well-known
Israeli mystic leader, recently made a remarkable statement predicting
that the identity of the Messiah would be revealed in the very near
future, even giving specific details on how the revelation would occur.
"Messiah is at work right now," Rabbi Ben Artzi said in a sermon.
"Jews, be happy! Very soon, the Messiah will be revealed to everyone!"
The rabbi went into detail, explaining how this would come about.
"The Holy One, Blessed be He, will come to the rabbis in a dream with a
vision and inform them of whom He has chosen for the King Messiah,"
predicted Rabbi Ben Artzi. "The Creator will write to them exactly,
whom He has chosen as King Messiah."
This singular revelation was accompanied by details.
Comments:
An interesting mixture of the beliefs of those who are expecting
Maitreya and
the
Catholics who
are expecting a Holy King and Holy Pope to restore everything.
I am so glad that all we have to do is prepare His Way just as it was
announced through Malachi 3:1, and just let Him return as the angels
announced through Acts 1:11:
“Men
of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come
back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
God needs 'gofers' and not stage managers.

Once again I am shocked and horrified as I read the end of yesterday's
Mass
Gospel and the beginning of today's Mass Gospel
[Luke 16:8-9].
We will
reproduce below the verses from various Bibles so that you understand
our
reaction and then make crystal clear, through His Grace, what Jesus
meant.
Reading according to the bible used by the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops
And
the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. For
the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own
generation than the children of light. Jesus said to his disciples: "I
tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that
when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. Luke
16:8-9
Reading according the Douay-Rheims Bible
And
the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely:
for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the
children of light. And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the
mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into
everlasting dwellings. Luke 16:8-9
Reading according to New Internationl Version
The
master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly.
For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own
kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldly wealth
to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be
welcomed into eternal dwellings. Luke 16:8-9
What those awful translation are telling the already disoriented
faithful is:
Be as crooked as the
dishonest steward and then buy your way to Heaven through deception.
The message that Jesus delivered is - as should be expected -
diametrically opposed to the blasphemy approved by the "Evangelizers".
First: Jesus rightfully highlighted the reality that the people of the
world are more prudent/smarter/wiser that the children of light. In
this commentary are two very important mystical messages. One - He is
confirming that the predestination of the soul (Heaven or hell) is a
reality; Two - He is confirming that the children of the light (the
Elect) are not being properly educated in their faith by those who are
responsible of doing so - that is why they are not as
prudent/smarter/wiser as the children of Mammon.
Secondly: He instructs us to use the money that we may have - necessary
to be able to function in the world - to do good deeds - not bad deeds
- thus securing a blissful Eternity.
As we have said many times - money is not evil. What is evil is to be
ruled by money - in politically incorrect language that is: to be
prostitutes by
selling our selves for money. However, if we use money legitimately
gained to do good to
those in need, then we are turning an potentially evil tool into a
ticket to Paradise.
And that is the truly Golden Message form our dear Lord and Master,
Jesus, the Christ - Whom we must adore and obey instead of adoring and
obeying those
for-profit Evangelizers.
Have you heard that...
Facebook asks users for naked photos to combat ‘revenge porn’? (1)
Facebook is teaming up with four
countries to test a preemptive system to detect and defend against
“revenge porn.” Users are being asked to upload nude photos of
themselves to Messenger.
The Australian Office of the eSafety Commissioner announced they were
partnering with the social media giant last week on a pilot scheme that
will allow anyone to report sensitive images being shared online
without their permission.
The eSafety office, .... will then notify Facebook, who will use image
matching technology to stop those images from being uploaded to
Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Groups or Instagram.
Comment:
Frankly, we just do not what to say other than this is just another
indication of how murky the human intelligence already is. We
cannot determine what is more stupid, the idea/proposal by Facebook or the people
who fall for it. Maybe it is just a tie.

Did you know that...
a leaked German military document predicts EU collapse and rise of
pro-Russian ‘Eastern bloc’ by 2040?
The German military has outlined six
“worst-case” scenarios for the future of Europe by 2040. The leaked
secret document predicts that more states will leave a disordered,
chaotic and conflict-prone EU – to join a Russian-led “Eastern bloc.”
A secret Defense Ministry paper leaked to Spiegel magazine has shed
light on Berlin’s main concerns about the breakup of the European
community, a scenario apparently feared in most Western capitals.
Entitled ‘Strategic Perspective 2040’ (Strategische Vorausschau 2040),
the 102-page policy paper imagines six scenarios that strategists in
Berlin deem plausible.
Comment:
First of all - assuming no Apocalypse and 'business as usual' forever -
with the tremendous technological advances the world is experiencing
from month to month and the
(man made) rapid collapse of the current world order in the name of
'freedom of everything',
no one can predict
with any
level of accuracy where the world will be
at politically and/or financially in just one year - much less 23 years
in the future.
What a joke!
But there is a "method in their madness". That is one way for Germany
to strengthen their European leadership with the final objective of
controlling it more than they already do: By identifying one concrete
European Union enemy - Russia.
Fancy that.... it just happens to be the same concrete US enemy the
Globalist in the US have fabricated using Mr. Trump as its corner stone.
And the Zombie-fest continues!

On January 31st, 2014, we published a document
(1) where we spoke of an
upcoming G2 Cloud encounter with our
Galactic core
with total unpredictable consequences - one of them could have a been a
Gamma Ray Burst which could have seriously affected life on Earth. A
possibility that we already addressed - in very general terms - in a
prior document
(2)
published on October 13th, 2011.
Well it seems that miraculously - because science has no idea how it
could have happened - the encounter did not result in anything that
could have been detrimental to life in our Galaxy:
Astronomers
watched in fascination as
an object called G2 appeared to edge closer to our Milky Way's central

and
G2

A reminder....
In yesterday's Mass Gospel
[Luke 14:25-33] we read:
If anyone comes to
Me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers
and sisters, and even his own life,
he cannot be My disciple.
Obviously what is meant by "hating" here is placing them second to
Jesus.
Whoever
does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
This is literal if we understand our "own cross" as to the difficulties
we were born with, acquired in our formative years, and later. By the
way, that is not a sacrifice as many may think. If we carry our crosses
in the manner He taught us - that is, following Him - they would not be
as heavy.
In
the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be My disciple
Here again, the issue is placing Jesus first and above all - not only
above one's
father and mother, wife
and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life but
also above one's possessions. You do not have to give away your
possessions; you are to use them in accordance to His Will for the
benefit of all..... without becoming enablers.
and also....
On the Mass Gospel of November 7th
[Luke 14:12-14] we
read:
When
you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your
brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in
case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you
hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the
blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to
repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
Obviously the message is not that we shouldn't invite friens and
relatives for a
social event; the message is that we should not do good to others
just because they can pay us back.... and we hope that they do.
Taking it one step further.... if you invite a wealthy neighbor to a
social event - not because he is wealthy and would beneficial to you
but just as an act of fraternal love - that is perfectly acceptable to
God.
Considering the reality that God can read our hearts
better than we can read an
open book with large print, every act consonant with His Word
will indeed be repaid at the resurrection
of the righteous.
But there conditions do apply.... If we do something because we
will indeed be repaid at the resurrection
of the righteous and not because of our love for God and for our
neighbor as ourselves there is a difference. We are sure that there
will be a reduction in
the 'payment'
at the
resurrection of the righteous.
In today's Mass Gospel [John 2:13-22] the key message is delivered by
the following verses:
He
found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well
as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and
drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and
spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those
who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my
Father's house a marketplace."
Granted, we have not seen oxen, sheep, and doves for sale in churches
and in Marian Sanctuaries, however, we have seen more than enough
profit
generating activities in them to make the temple merchants of Jesus
time envious.
That is another key message missed by the "Evangelizers".... but not
just from
the Catholic Church. This message has also been missed by the
Administrators of all major
Christian institutions.
We have one question that applies to the multitude of
similar situations found in Christendom:
How
come the members of those Christian
institutions - Roman Catholics at the head of the list - have tolerated
the adulteration of the clearly stated messages from Jesus in total
submission?
And, on top of that, kept lining the pockets
of the Administrators going against the fundamental teachings of Jesus.
We have a general answer for that general question:
Because
the Christian institutions have
taken the place of God. It is not what Jesus says; it is what Bishop So
and So says.....
Just another reminder to our readership so that no one
is surprised
as to what will be left of the 'Almighty' Christian institutions.

Through an error, obviously staged by
Providence, yesterday's Mass readings were the ones scheduled for the
following
Monday. The Hand of God was so obviously involved that even before
finishing the first reading - Wisdom 1:1-7 - I knew we had to publish
it today and exactly what comments to add.
The reading....
1
Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth, think of the Lord with
uprightness, and seek Him with sincerity of heart; 2 because He is
found by those who do not put Him to the test, and manifests Himself to
those who do not distrust Him.
3 For perverse thoughts separate men
from God, and when His power is tested, it convicts the foolish; 4
because Wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul, nor dwell in a body
enslaved to sin. 5 For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee from
deceit, and will rise and depart from foolish thoughts, and will be
ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness.
6 For wisdom is a kindly spirit and
will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words; because God is
witness of his inmost feelings, and a true observer of his heart, and a
hearer of his tongue. 7 Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the
world, and that which holds all things together knows what is said;
Read it carefully. Allow it to penetrate your very being because that
IS exactly how "the system" works. This one of those situations where I
tell you - without the slightest doubt - that I know it to be true, not
just believe it. Know its reality from decades of living experience.
Regarding "
a kindly spirit and
will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words" -
remember, we are not dealing with a vengeful God any more than we are
dealing with an evil force of gravity. When spiritual and physical laws
are violated, there is collateral damage which can
only be tempered by the
Mercy of God when it is appealed for with a humble and contrite heart.
Now then, if we incorporate the above Wisdom into our every breath, all
will
always work out
for the best. All!
The Gospel was from Luke 17:1-6 and the part we wish to heavily
underscore are verses 1-3:
1
Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are
bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. 2 It would be
better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around
their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 So
watch yourselves.
What causes "people to stumble" is scandal; giving the wrong message
through a poor example. This applies to everyone from the head of a
religious institution to the least of the faithful. We must strive to
live the faith we proclaim by word, deed and example. That is
the most effective Evangelization method. The consequences of
duplicity could not be better explained than Jesus did:
It would be better for them to be
thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to
cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Let us take an unimpeded-by-a-beam look
(Luke 6:42)
at ourselves and eradicate from our behavior anything that would cause
scandal.
On
this day....
1916 - Jeanette Rankin of Montana
became the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress.
1917 - Russia's Bolshevik Revolution took place. The provisional
government of Alexander Kerensky was overthrown by forces led by
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
1944 - U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first person to
win a fourth term as president.
1973 - The U.S. Congress over-rode President Nixon's veto of the War
Powers Act, which limits a chief executive's power to wage war without
congressional approval.
2000 - Hillary Rodham Clinton made history as the first president's

There is a rather complex situation being experienced by a reader very
close to The M+G+R Foundation. She wrote a two page letter with
Confessional type of material. Obviously we cannot use the letter but, with her full permission,
we can publish our succinct response to her.
The reason we want to publish it is because we believe that it contains
information that is seldom addressed from the pulpit, yet it is very
important that is brought on to the light for the benefit of all. There
may be some parts of our response that may not make sense to some of
our readers because it answers questions taken out of context from a
full two page letter. Just ignore such part(s).
The response to Mrs. IW - at the
confessional - is presented in two parts as follows.
Be aware that there is no room for questions from you regarding Part 1,
for they will not be answered.
However, there is plenty of room for questions from you in Part 2,
should they arise.
Part 1
You state: I began experiencing an inexplicably
heightened uneasiness...., which escalated to the point where I became
downright jittery, shaky, anxious, , stressed about everything,
and worse of all, had absolutely no inner peace. Something really
negative was gnawing at me, causing an excessive unrest, and I
didn’t know what the source was or why I felt this way. All I
know is it was highly unpleasant and emotionally/psychologically
invasive.
and
You state: "I felt strongly at the time that there was someone close
to you (in your “inner circle,” so to speak) who is not trustworthy,
and who, given a chance, would not hesitate to become a liability to you.
"
You are almost right in your evaluation of the situation. However, the
individual is a man, I know his name and what triggers your anguish is
indeed real - a highly dysfunctional jealousy of which you are the
object.
The individual is not close to me but is very much aware of me - as
much as someone from my "inner circle" would be. Indeed, he would try
to harm me if he could. Of course, it would not be wise for him to do
so since the seriously negative consequences would be automatic
without myself even being aware of them.
Part 2
You state "I am being hexed (!!!) by
a bitter and insanely jealous...." A statement which is followed
by: "I do have questions about hexes and casting spells. Does one
have to be a witch/warlock and chant specific incantations to cast a
spell? Or can these hexes/spells occur simply by the intensity of
one's strong negative feelings directed towards another?"
The answer to the situation is being Perfect as the Father is perfect.
There is no power greater - or even close to - the power of God, Who Is
Love.
No hex nor spell nor incantation can withstand the power of God - LOVE
- manifested through prayer and wielded with charity and compassion.
The human which is being used by the evil one does not have to be told
about it or even spoken to, but if we must deal with him/her it must be
done with charity and compassion - but without becoming enablers.
Therefore, the remedy is to pray much for the conversion and well being
of the individual. You do not need to know who the man is, God knows.
What those prayers will do, in accordance to the Will of God is: (a)
his conversion, thus deactivation of such deranged jealousy; or
(b) completely neutralize any negativism coming from him; or
(c) God simply takes him away through the veil.
We, of course, will also pray for him.
If you follow the Spiritual Direction clearly stated in Part 2, the
matter will be resolved.
End of our response.
November 4th
From
miguel de Portugal
The Gospel for the Mass of All Saints read as follows:
Jesus
said to the crowds: "Everyone that
the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came
down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent
me.
And this is the will of the one who
sent me, that I should not
lose anything of what he gave me,
but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my
Father, that everyone
who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day."
[John 6:37-40]
The above message - and similar ones which may be found elsewhere in
the New Testament - combined with many of the prayers in the Roman
Misal may give a false sense of security to Christians, in general, and
Catholics, in particular.
The New Testament readings should be properly explained in the homilies
- something that is seldom done at Catholich and Protestant churches
alike. But how?
As we often do. For example....
To "
come
to Him" and to "
believe in Him"
means to strive to live Him
- the Word of God. It is not just a matter
of "signing up" at a any Christian church and tell everyone that one is
a Christian.
The prayers in the Roman Missal just confirm those
misconceptions by implying that all who "sign up and go through the
motions" are saved - something that is a lie and will result in
suffering for those who are destined to Heaven.
We will explain that again using the same Gospel reading.
Jesus says "
Everyone that the Father
gives me will come to me" but what
is not clarified to the faithful is that those who were given to Jesus
by the Father are the members if the Elect.... those who are already in
what we call Heaven - Eternity.
Therefore, those who the Father gave to Jesus but who are not striving
to live Him - the Word of God - as the result of false sense of
security (Hey!, I am a Christian, I've got it made!), will have much to
suffer here and in Purgatory.
It is our - mine and yours - duty to explain that to anyone who will
listen.
Now, let us explore why none of that is made clear in most of the
homilies and in the Mass
prayers? Simply because is not good financial business. People want to
hear that they can adore Mammon and yet make it to Heaven with no
problems and they are very generous towards any preacher and church who
peddle such lies.
Why do you think that in spite of being on line for 19 years we receive
barely enough donations to keep on going? Because we call it like it
is,
and only those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear want to invest in
getting the truth out and minimize the suffering of the Elect at either
side of the veil.
Do you think the masses who are submerged in denial want to hear...
That the "gate is narrow"?
"Enter
ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way
that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat."
[Matthew 7:13]
and
That we would not want those destined
to Eternal damnation to see, hear
and understand what they should not?
Therefore
do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. .... lest at any
time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
[Matthew 13: 13,15]
Such is life.... and such is death.
Rejoice! Our judgment, tempered by Divine Mercy, is based on how hard
we truly try to live
the Word of God and not on how far me managed to get, in spite of our
sincere efforts.
Have you heard that...
according to Japanese TV, 200 are feared dead after tunnel collapses at
North Korean nuclear test site?
About 200 people are feared dead in
North Korea after underground tunnels at a nuclear test site that was
feared to be unstable reportedly collapsed, crushing 100 people in the
initial cave-in and 100 others when the tunnels again gave way on top
of rescuers. (1)
The collapse at the Punggye-ri test site on Oct. 10 occurred while
people were doing construction on the underground tunnel, Japan’s Asahi
TV reported, citing a source in North Korea. The television station
also said North Korea’s sixth nuclear test on Sept. 3 most likely
caused the tunnel to crumble and created serious damage in the region.
Comments:
Although the way the full news report is composed one may tend to
disregard
the news as Japanese propaganda, however, we believe that is true.
About two weeks ago China - without mentioning any particular event -
commented upon the dangers of such a disaster happening as the result
of
nuclear tests. It is now obvious that the October 10th collapse had
already taken place and they were voicing the concerns, in a subtle way
and beyond their own
borders.
In any case, we can see that the double collapse was allowed by God to
delay
their much announced - in threatening terms - further testing which, in
turn, has delayed the
nuclear conflagration, thus reducing the suffering among the Elect.
Let us continue to pray!

Since I am teaching my sister the rosary and about Catholicism

always - is very valid.
We state that
The Catholic Faith is
the one Faith which has the greatest concentration of Divinely Revealed
Truths which is, of course, true. However,
the statement may lead to confusion as it did in your case. Therefore
we have rewritten it differently - as follows:
The Catholic Faith is the one
Faith which provides the means for the faithful to benefit from the greatest
concentration of Divinely Revealed Truths.
No other Faith has as many and effective means to benefit
from those Truths in its Spiritual Treasury
as the Catholic Faith does. Be it the reality and validity of the Seven
Sacraments; be it
the validity and practice of Indulgences; be it the reality of
Purgatory; be it the
truth about the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary, the
Mother of Jesus Christ, True God and True Man; be it the Petrine
Ministry; etc.
It is a tragedy that such immense
Spiritual Treasure has been squandered by the Administrators of the
Catholic Faith in their pursuit of material
treasures over the last 1,600 years of history at the expense of not fulfilling
the Command of He Who established it, Our Lord and Master Jesus
Christ.
If such immense Spiritual Treasure
had been utilized in the manner it was intended to, the world would not
be in the condition it is at the beginning of the 21st Century.
Thus, the problem has never been in the basic
dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Faith; the problem resided and continues to reside in
the controlling Administrators of such treasure.
Now, two examples regarding some 'inside' information that the Catholic
Faith
does not have, but the guidance of its teachings regarding them is
correct:
One
The
transubstantiation is indeed true but the Catholic Faith does not tell
you how it happens.
We know since God revealed it to miguel de Portugal. How it takes place
does not
matter as long as the reality is, indeed, that it takes place.
Two
A proper Sacramental
Matrimony indeed only death can terminate. I understand/know why but,
among the revealed truths of the Catholic Faith the reason is not
found. Nonetheless,
even without knowing the mystical mechanism the
Catholic Faith teaches that such is the case - which we know is correct.
Three
Sodomy is
problematic in homosexual AND heterosexual
relations alike. The
Catholic Faith does not go into details because
the truth regarding how the negative consequence manifests itself is
not part of the Revealed Truths in its Spiritual Treasury. We know why
it
is universally
problematic as well as the mystical mechanism that it triggers -
because God explained
it to me. Once again, even without knowing the mystical mechanism
associated with matter the
Catholic Faith teaches against it - which is also correct.
There are, of course,
several other issues but the reasoning is the same. If one strives to
live what
is properly taught (and not distorted for the Administration's material
gain) in the Catholic Faith, one does not need to know anything else.
Regarding how to be more in tune with God?
Well, "Mother knows best!"
Pray the three mysteries of the Rosary daily; offer
the Chaplet of
Mercy daily - preferably as one approaches the hour of His expiration;
if possible accompany Him at that very moment; offer reparation to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus every Friday (not just the first Friday) and to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary every Saturday (not just the first
Saturday); partake of valid Sacraments when they are available;
offer every single suffering that comes your way (without seeking it)
as She taught us to do, and, above all, as She told miguel de Portugal
- "strive to live My Son's Gospel".
Regarding your "Purgatorial Invoice" - remember what
Jesus said: The
worst sin that man may have ever committed is but a grain of sand when
compared to the Oceans of My Mercy! and the reality that The
more we need His Mercy the more He wants to grant it to us -
because He also said that. Trust in His Word!
Remember the exchange that He had with the criminal
crucified next to
Him: And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt
come into thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee,
this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. [Luke 23:42-43]
In verse 40 we read the what triggered Jesus'
statement: This criminal
recognized Jesus as
our Redeemer, acknowledged his own sins and deserving of the justice
applied to him, and sought Jesus' Mercy.... and He granted it to him: Amen
I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with
me in paradise.
You may be
assured of our prayerful support.
Did you know that.....
an official of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
- Rev. Thomas Weinandy, OFM Cap - expressed concerns about Francis
Pontificate and was fired from the USCCB as a result?
On November 1st a letter (1)
was released by CRUX (2), written by Rev. Thomas
Weinandy, OFM Cap, to Pope Francis. It is similar in tone and
content to the four cardinals' already famous Dubia.
Rev Weinandy is a former chief of staff for the USCCB's Committee on
Doctrine and a current member of the Vatican's International
Theological Commission.
As Rev. Weinandy closes his letter he states:
I
have often asked myself: “Why has Jesus
let all of this happen?” The only answer that comes to mind is that
Jesus wants to manifest just how weak is the faith of many within the
Church, even among too many of her bishops.
Ironically, your pontificate has
given those who hold harmful theological and pastoral views the license
and confidence to come into the light and expose their previously
hidden darkness. In recognizing this darkness, the Church will humbly
need to renew herself, and so continue to grow in holiness.
Comments:
They are getting "warm" as to what is really taking place in the RCC
and the world at large - but it is too late - almost 200 years too
late. As Jesus said:
And will not God bring about
justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he
keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice,
and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on
the earth?” [Luke 18:7-8]
Blessedly we - and all who listen to
us - know where we are at and what we must do.
May God have Mercy on His Elect as He promised through Luke 18:7-8
