Points
to Ponder About
December 2007
PURPOSE
The
purpose of Points to
Ponder
About is to stimulate thinking that would draw the disoriented
Faithful back to God (1)
and away from the hypocritical duplicity of some religious
institutions which are destroying the little faith left on earth (2) (3).
The instructions are simple: Just invoke the illumination of
the
Holy Spirit of God while you ponder upon any of these Points to Ponder and let God guide
you to Light. We know that some make-believe religious leaders will
say: "What about satan interfering
and leading the soul astray?" To those... we invoke Our Lord's
Words again:
"...Get
the behind me, Satan: the art an offense unto me: for the severest
not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." [Matthew 16:23]
and further
"And
I
say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and yea shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that sketch
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it
shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a
father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a
fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer
him a scorpion? If ye
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how
much more shall
your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
[Luke 11:9-13]
and finally
"But
woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither
suffer ye them that are entering to go in." [Matthew 23:13]
"Because
it has been given to you
to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it has not been given."..... Therefore I speak to
them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do
not hear, nor do they understand.... Lest they should see with their
eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their
hearts and be converted so that I should heal them."
[Matthew 13:11, 13, 15]

(a) Do you ever wonder why God
continues to allow the misery man brings upon man - apparently without care?
also
(b)
Do you ever wonder what
will take for Him to stop it?
Such truly momentous questions have quite
simple and coherent answers -
as all that is of God.
First we will deal with (a).
We read in Genesis 1:26 : And he said: Let us make man to our image
and likeness: and let
him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air,
and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that
moveth upon the earth.
Now, God
has placed the
creation under the management of man.
God also made clear that man had a free
will - after all, man was
created in His Image. This attribute was demonstrated when God forbade
man to eat the fruit of certain trees. If man would not have had a free
will, all God had to do is block man from eating from certain trees and
not allowing him the freedom of obeying Him or not.
Since then, as we read throughout the
entire Old Testament, God has
tried to guide mankind to the right path; the right way. Through
prophets He communicated the "Why?" of the catastrophes which fell upon
mankind as well as the "Why?" of the Blessings He bestowed upon mankind
from time to time. All, to no avail.
Since mankind was getting worse - and not
better - He sent His Son -
Jesus Christ. The Word of God made Flesh; that is, the Living
Way. To try to get across mankind - face to face - what He tried
before through the Prophets: How to live with justice, thus harmony and
peace.
The Word made Flesh was killed; a group
sprung from said Word with the
intent of, by example and word, taking up where the Master left off and
continue to demonstrate the true Way - the Way of God.
Man, exercising His free and
inviolable Will, continued to pillage and plunder Creation -
Earth, animals and humans. This time, using the Holy Name of Jesus and
that of the Prophet Mohammed, as a justification. The offenses to God
were then multiplied.
In a last ditch effort - and we are
speaking literally - God starts
sending
Mary (1) to remind one and all to get back to the pre
Constantine Gospel (2)
. As we recently wrote (3) - through Fatima She warned:
"Humanity
has sinned and trampled
upon the Grace granted upon it. Order reigns nowhere. satan has
reached the highest positions and determines how things are to
evolve. He will succeed in introducing himself in the highest echelons
of the Church. He will succeed in seducing the spirit of the great wise
men who will invent weapons with which half of humanity can be
destroyed in just a few minutes. He will have powerful nations
within his empire and will move them to mass produce those weapons.
If humanity does not take the steps
necessary to stop it, I will be
forced to let go of My Son's Arm. Then, God will punish mankind
in a much more severe manner than He did with the Great
Flood. The great and powerful will succumb just as the weak and
small.
This brings
us to the answer
to question (b)....
Now that we have "...invented weapons
with which half of humanity can be destroyed in just a few minutes..."
we are capable of annihilating not only half of humanity but all of
humanity plus render the planet uninhabitable.
This is where God "drew the line". The
only way He has left to deal
with humanity - without
violating our free will - is to allow so much destruction and
pain (4) upon it that, at least a small group will
be left.
This group (5) will now "toe God's line" - so much was the suffering
they had to endure.
Welcome to the first part
of the Apocalypse! (6) or The Good News - Part II
The New
Year celebration's
"real
fireworks" are just around the corner.

Do you ever
wonder.... why the
Acts of the Apostle are not considered of the "same weight" as the Four
Gospels? After all, it was also written by Luke.
Also.... why are the three Letters of
John the Evangelist not
considered of the "same weight" as the Four Gospels?
Furthermore, do you wonder how can those
Christians who undervalue
Mary's importance and role in the Salvation of Mankind (1) - to the point that, at times, offend Her - "hang
on" to the Gospel according to Luke "for dear life" when the first two
Chapters of his Gospel - key to the knowledge of Jesus before His
Public Ministry - had to be straight out of Mary's mouth?
But then again.... man is liable to
believe anything is convenient for
him to believe. Peter himself was not infallible [Gal. 2:11-14] yet his successors claim, since the middle of the
19th Century, to be infallible. (2)

Do you wonder....
where the world
economy is going and why? The following letter from a member of The
M+G+R Foundation Family explains it well:
Dear Miguel,
As you have
stated, "In the absence of Divine Graces, man responds according to
his fallen nature."
Not only are the Scriptures actually or
symbolically true, the
lessons they teach are repeated over and over again so that at least a
few will "get it" as the attached article (1) amply illustrates.
For the rest,
they go into the fire as the chaff from the wheat. It is hard to be
sympathetic to those who refuse to listen after being told repeatedly.
Even
Jesus has limits to the dispensing of His Mercy since He cannot
and will not force any of us to seek His Forgiveness.
We can only pray
for the Light and the Graces to do the right thing.
It is time to stop
focusing on this world and think about the next.
Best wishes and
Peace

From the

Blindly Into the Bubble
When announcing Japan’s surrender in
1945, Emperor Hirohito famously
explained his decision as follows: “The war situation has developed not
necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”
There was a definite Hirohito feel to the
explanation Ben Bernanke,
the Federal Reserve chairman, gave this week for the Fed’s
locking-the-barn-door-after-the-horse-is-gone decision to modestly
strengthen regulation of the mortgage industry: “Market discipline has
in some cases broken down, and the incentives to follow prudent lending
procedures have, at times, eroded.”
That’s quite an understatement. In fact,
the explosion of
“innovative” home lending that took place in the middle years of this
decade was an unmitigated disaster.
But maybe Mr. Bernanke was afraid to be
blunt about just how badly
things went wrong. After all, straight talk would have amounted to a
direct rebuke of his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, who ignored pleas to
lock the barn door while the horse was still inside — that is, to
regulate lending while it was booming, rather than after it had already
collapsed.

Do you wonder....
why violence
amongst our young ones is increasing by leaps and bounds?
Wonder no more! If ten minutes of
advertising on a thirty minute
program slot can mold the mind of the viewers so that it is profitable
for the advertiser, imagine what the remaining twenty minutes of sex
and wanton violence will do to the minds of our children!
Simple, isn't it?

Who have
not heard of the
havoc caused by the now famous "El Niño"? How many know where
such alteration of the climate got its name? Few.
Therefore.... do you ever wonder what "El
Niño" really means?
Another Warning Channel used by God....
- El
Niño - from El Niño de la Navidad, literally,
"the Christmas child" due to
the warming of Pacific waters seemed to warm around Christmas
We presume that no further explanation is
necessary to understand "the message".

In view of
those never ending
arguments about at what time in the period of gestation is abortion not
the murder of a human being - from the "morning after pill" to the
macabre "partial birth abortion....?
Have you ever wonder.... what the Bible
says about the beginning of
life? Believe it or not it is clear as the finest crystal.
We read in Luke 1 :
24 And after those days, Elizabeth his wife
conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the
days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26 And
in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a
city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
and
35 And the angel
answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee.
And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God.
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a
son in her old age; and this
is the sixth month with her that is called
barren:
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
then....
39 And Mary rising up in those days, went
into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
This is the most logical for Mary to have done - basically racing to
see Elizabeth. The city of Juda was just about 80 miles from Nazareth.
Once Mary confirmed Elizabeth's pregnancy She would know that it was
not Her imagination.... that indeed Gabriel had appeared and announce
to Her the most incredible thing: She was to mother the Son of God!
but let us continue....
40 And she entered into the house of
Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth. ....
43 And whence is this to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Now we learn that....
56 And Mary abode with her about three
months; and she returned to her own house.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time of being
delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
Going by the time span given - it is obvious that Mary left Nazareth
right away because She stayed with Elizabeth "about three months"
and Elizabeth was six months pregnant when Gabriel gave Mary the
Good News.
Now - the moment Mary arrived, Elizabeth felt the presence of our
Savior. She did not feel the presence of a fetus that one day
would come to life and be our Savior - Elizabeth felt the presence of
Jesus just as if He had been 5, 20 or 30 years old.
Therefore - the New Testament confirms that very, very close to the
moment of conception a human life - even if it is only composed of a
handful of cells - exists - thus extinguishing said life would be the
violation of the "Thou shalt not kill" Commandment.
Now - miguel knows
that at the moment of conception full human life is manifested to the
extent that, from that point on, the future newborn has a Guardian
Angel who accompanies that mother until delivery time, but.... Who
knows miguel's face?
Well, now we have it - it practically says the same thing (give
or take the travel time to Elizabeth's house) in the New
Testament. We rejoice in the Divine Coherence and the consolation
God provides by confirming that "known" information.

Have
you ever thought.... why
God has allowed (not caused, but allowed) the AIDS (1) plague as well as, what appears
to be the other End of Times plague, Alzheimer disease?
Could it be that, since we approach the End of
These Times and the
faithful drifts further away from God, many, who otherwise be lost, due
to their condition, fulfill a key salvation requirement set forth by
Jesus Himself, and we quote: Amen I say to you, unless you be
converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven. [Matthew
18:3]
Have you noticed how many of our brethren with
AIDS look as their
end-time approaches? Have you noticed how those suffering from Alzheimer look? Do not they remind you of little and
dependent children? A mere coincidence?
Let us not forget - God utilizes, for the good
of His children, even
the worse human tragedies.
Jesus.... Do
not leave the world
without Him!

Do you wonder.... why the
moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church is at an all time low and
continues to plunge dragging with it the immaculate Catholic Faith (1)?
The following letter received today from someone who knows the subject
well, will serve as just one example. In the spiritual domain
"filth" is felt so that people do not need to know these details to be
repelled by those involved in it.
The letter....
Christ be with you!
The article (2) is titled "Beautiful
Calling".... no comment!
"Saying that he has "always loved"
the ritual-filled ceremony
of a church dedication, the cardinal drew a parallel with the effect
that their investiture into the order should bring to the 100 new
Knights and Dames of Malta. "When something new and beautiful is
happening in our lives," the cardinal said, "we dare not let that
moment pass without rededication."
Cardinal Egan, the principal
celebrant, is principal chaplain of
the American Association of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of
St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, as the order is formally
known.
He was joined on the altar by five
prelates: Archbishop
Celestino Migliore, Vatican nuncio to the United Nations; Archbishop
Harry J. Flynn of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Bishop William E. Lori
of Bridgeport, Conn.; Bishop Michael R. Cote of Norwich, Conn.; and
retired Bishop Frank J. Rodimer of Paterson, N.J.; as well as other
priests and deacons......."
We all know about Egan (3)......... Lori is his
successor in his former
diocese of Bridgeport, CT, where he continues the sex abuse cover-up.
Flynn is equally notorious. And then there is Bp. Frank Rodimer, whose
priest friend who joined him on vacation in Rodimer's exclusive beach
vacation house was sexually abusing a 10 year old boy, while Rodimer
was in the house. When confronted by media and police, Rodimer
claimed he was not aware of this occurring in his home while HE
was present!!!
Who else was connected with this
"honorable" exclusive club? The
late Rev. Dr. Canon Edwards Nason West - formerly Dean and Master of
Ceremonies at the NYC Cathedral of St. John the Divine. West was a
noted
author, liturgist/litugical artist (he painted icons in Orthodox
churches).
West was also known to have been "caught"
by witnesses, NYC health
Dept. inspectors (at the height of the 80's AIDS scare) and police in
Sado-Masochist gay clubs, being urinated upon by men and young boys
while
lying in a "ritual bathtub". At the time, this made the local papers -
but West got off unscathed.
West was also heavily tied into the
various Catholic network of
clergy, liturgists, organists, and architectural renovators who
pioneered the organized vandalism from the 60's onward.
You remain in my daily prayers.

It is His Will that we bring the following
to the world's attention again....
Do you
ever wonder... why will man attempt to build a "new and improved"
society, a modern day Tower of Babel, when we know from the
beginning
that it was not acceptable to God? Thus:
And
they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the
top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before
we be scattered abroad into all lands. And the Lord came down to
see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were
building. And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one
tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off
from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. Come ye,
therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they
may not understand one another's speech. And so the Lord
scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build
the city.
9 And therefore the name
thereof was called Babel,
because there the language of the whole
earth was confounded: and from
thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
[Genesis
11: 4-9]
For the
same reason man wants to play God (genetic manipulation, reproductive
manipulation, etc.) considering that from the very, very beginning God
showed immense displeasure at such tendency. Thus:
Of
the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat: But of the fruit of the
tree which is
in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat;
and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die. And the serpent said to the woman:
No, you shall not die the death. For God doth know that in what
day soever you shall eat
thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing
good and evil. [Genesis 3: 2-5]
Because
man, without God, is basically very stupid and when man wants to
upstage God, God is certainly not with him.
