  Do you wonder... where are the Saints that we Catholics pray seeking their intercession if the Second Resurrection [Rev. 20:14] has not taken place yet?

 They are in Heaven because Heaven is in Eternity and Time and Eternity coexist while Time marches on. View Time as "Eternity in Progress". For more details on Time and Eternity review our document entitled  What is "Time and Eternity"? and "Understanding the Existing Confusion About the Apocalypse"

 Do you wonder... why sects continue to promote corporal punishment as a means to attain holiness and control their sinful natures?

Perhaps they have not yet reached the part in the New Testament when the method is clearly explained by Paul:


Or perhaps - since Divine Grace is the requirement - they just have to use other techniques.

 Do you wonder... why man keeps placing his complete trust in technology?

Have you noticed what happened as the result of Katrina and Rita? What happened as the result of earthquakes in Kashmir? The floods in Central America? The tsunami in S.E. Asia? Do you realize that not even in cutting edge technology US preparations nor response for the hurricanes were even adequate?

Check into the news services worldwide and you will see that the crisises are still "open" in all of those areas. We may still lose as many human beings in the Kashmir area as the result of no proper response than to the earthquake itself.

In the meantime - take a look at some suggestions that we have made regarding unexpected events in our lives such as... "Miss Wilma" knocking at your door.

 Do you wonder... why the Book of  Enoch fell on disgrace, to the point of being labeled heretical by the Roman Catholic Church, at the beginning of the ninth century when the canonical Epistle of St. Jude, in verses 14, 15, explicitly quotes from the Book of Enoch [the citation is found in the Ethiopic version in verses 9 and 4 of the first chapter]?

 Do you wonder... why only 197 of every 1000 visitors to our Board downloaded a key (to their spiritual and physical well being) document - The Return to "Christendom" : The State and Church Alliance -  A False Hope For the Faithful and whenever we publish something about the Planet "X" or some sort of  "Secret" the readers flock to read them by droves while ignoring yet other very, very serious documents?  

For the same reason tabloids always outsell serious and reliable newspapers.

 Do you wonder... why the prayer of the Angelus, on the third invocation reads: "The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us"?

Dwelt?!  It should be: "The Word was made flesh and dwells amongst us".   Jesus, in His Eucharistic manifestation, DWELLS amongst us today just as He did 2000 years ago. That fact is central to the Catholic Faith and not those other stories to build up man or an institution at the expense of Jesus Christ.  We repeat again and again - Who is like unto God?

 Do you wonder... why would God allow Hurricane Rita right on the heels of Hurricane Katrina?  Perhaps this imaginary conversation between God and one of the Agents of the Apocalypse may answer that question. [Tone of the conversation wit God is similar to those found in the movies "Oh God!" and "Bruce Almighty"]

G = God speaking
AoA = Agent of the Apocalypse speaking

G:  Well, Agent of the Apocalypse, what do you think We should do with Rita? Remember, St. Rita is the patroness of the Hopeless Cases and
we should be able to use that "connection" to get people, in apparently hopeless situations, to pray. (1)

AoA:  Lord, You know what is Right and Perfect, but since You have asked, I will think, pray and then speak.....

 AoA: I see three options that You have, although, of course, You may have many more that I am not able to discern yet, for You are Infinite and I am not. (2) 


G:  OK - but you are giving Me options that I know, but, what do you think I should do?

AoA:  Well Lord - no wonder You are God - you don't miss a trick... certainly not this poor Agent of the Apocalypse trying to weasel out of an answer.
OK, let me see if I can make any sense...

Should You allow option (a), they will still not catch on. The damage would be less and, if with greater damage and suffering, all they think about is getting Sodom and Gomorra going again first and foremost, a second pass will not do anything else but bring more hardship upon the poor and abandoned.

Should You allow option (c), on a second thought, the level of blindness and denial (3) is so great that the few who would walk on their knees would be those who fell down drunk during the Hurricane Parties and not because they are praying. Thus, that storm energy that you will spend will yield few new conversions and many severe hang overs.

G:  Must admit - you are not far from the truth. But what about option (b)? Would not that be terrible? You know well the area. You know that is packed with refineries and petrochemical complexes and the population is about 3 million. You know that Houston is also major port and business center.

AoA:  Frankly, Lord, You have taught me much and some of those teachings help me to "see beyond the obvious", to "look at the whole picture" and to understand what Your "Mercy In Action" (4) is all about. Therefore, I must admit that option (b) above seems to be the best, unless, of course, this is just a teaser to make people think of, and pray to St. Rita - the patroness of the impossible - and You have something else up You Holy Sleeve to answer my prayer for a Green Apocalypse (5).

Therefore, I would choose option (b) BUT, as always, totally deferring to Your Will by stating: Should it be in accordance to Your Most Holy and Adorable Will... and try to hit River Oaks, Memorial and Sugarland harder while this time go real easy on the poor of the area. OK?

G:  Amen!

AoA: Sir, if I may make one final statement....

G:  By all means, do!

 AoA: Am I glad that I am not God and that "The Buck Stops THERE!"

Let us pray.....

Do you ever wonder... why those who vehemently attack the Marian Apparitions in Garabandal and Medjugorje never mention the fully approved by the Roman Catholic Church Marian Manifestations in Akita, Japan?

The message that Mary transmitted in Akita - which is part of the public domain now - makes any public revelation about Garabandal and Medjugorje pale.

For a better understanding of a "fully approved" by the Roman Catholic Church  supernatural event, Click Here.

This "oversight" can only be understood through what we have explained in the September 8 posting (see below).

Do you ever wonder... why History repeats itself?

History repeats itself because man is incapable of learning unless God has been fully integrated into his life.

This is why what Konrad Adenauer, German Chancellor (1876-1967), was wrong when he said:   "The good Lord sets definite limits on man's wisdom but sets no limits on his stupidity – and that's just not fair."

It is not that God is unfair - it is that man, without God, cannot be anything else but stupid, thus continues to repeat the same mistakes millennia after millennia.

The "God" component in man is "the ingredient" that allows man to be the Crown Jewel of  Creation as God intended him to be, thus, man will cease being stupid and avoid repeating mistakes. Mistakes which God allowed to be made so that lessons, that could not be learned otherwise, be learned for his benefit.

When the God "component" is missing, man is incomplete and drops to the bottom of the zoological scale as he has repeatedly proven for over 6,000 years. What other member of the zoological scale (mis) behaves as man has for those years? None!

Why, pray tell, has Mary been visiting Her children repeatedly and insistently since the beginning of the 19th Century? To help us integrate God in our lives!

It is really that simple!

Do you wonder what is the real meaning of:


The above quotation is from Matthew 24: 15-21 which appear on our most recent document An Announcement?

Obviously is not a call to immediate action in the literal form. He is not telling them, then, and us, today, to drop everything and "head for the hills". Basically what He is telling us is that:

God is as consistent with His instructions as we are with our disobedience. By clarifying this for you we are obeying Him - how do you respond to it,  is completely out of our hands because it is between you and God.

Do you wonder why the mightiest financial and military empire of the whole world cannot effectively come to the rescue of the citizens of a devastated city - which, in Apocalyptic terms, is "just peanuts"? Could it be that when "the chips are down" it all boils down to a gallery of "smoke and mirrors"?

With all the "Katrina talk" - Do you wonder why the 1900 Storm which razed Galveston, Texas, has not been mentioned by anyone on a global scale?

It is not that we are crying "conspiracies!" but when something this incoherent hits us right on the face it makes one wonder.

As the newscasters in Europe and the US were making the approach of Katrina just another Reality Show, we realized that no one was mentioning the 1900 Storm in Galveston. To give you a "flavor" for that storm we quote from the official site:

On September 8, 1900, a hurricane struck Galveston.  Winds estimated at 140 mph swept over the island, leaving  devastation in their wake. After the storm surge of 15.7  feet subsided, Galvestonians left their shelters to find 6,000  of the city's 37,000 residents dead and more than 3,600  buildings totally destroyed.

 The 1900 Storm is still considered to be the deadliest  natural disaster in U.S. history. After the storm, Galveston constructed a seawall and raised the grade of the island to  protect it from future hurricanes.

We thought that the News Services young reporters were just not aware of it or forgotten it, thus we took the time and communicated with CNN, Euronews and two key Stations in Spain - one of International reach and another one that we consider the best news station  in Spain. We informed them of their oversight and gave them the appropriate Site address so that they would not have to take our word for it.

Results: Not a word on TV nor the global press as of midnight GMT.

Do you ever wonder... What Jesus really meant when He said:  

"And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty works, which have been done  in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee." [S. Matthew 11:23-24]

The time of the destruction of Sodom was the time of Abraham, who as you may recall, managed to convince God to delay its destruction appealing to His Justice for the few non sinners remaining in it. [Genesis 18: 17-33]

However, Capernaum (1) was a city that was Graced with the physical manifestation of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity - Jesus Christ. In that city he worked mighty deeds, yet, they turned their back to Him; they did not believe in Him.

Thus, one of the many messages in this particular Biblical passage is that:


But what is "accept" or "reject" Jesus Christ?  That will be the next entry in "Do you ever wonder....?" 

____________________________
(1) Capernaum: A city on the N.W. shore of Sea of Galilee. Chief residence of Christ ans His Apostles.  [Matthew 4: 12-16; 8: 5; 9: 1; 17: 24; Mark 2:1; Luke 7: 1-5; John 6:17]

Do you ever wonder... Why can the Church Administrators cannot see themselves in the following words clearly spoken by our Lord and Master Jesus Christ?  When they do, it will be too late for them. They have had many opportunities to make a correction of course. We gave them the final opportunity and, as it is written, it was also ignored. May verses 36-39 be again fulfilled as written.

Definition of Pharisees: "The separate people", a Jewish religious group who strictly followed religious laws and customs. [The M+G+R Foundation Comments:  Brings to mind the Dominus Iesus mentality.]

Definition of Scribes: Writers, or secretaries that recorded the Scriptures. [The M+G+R Foundation Comments: Wrote and recorded as needed to fulfill the personal agendas of those who claimed to be serving God - just like today.]

Matthew 23:1-39

1  Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2  saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat: 3  all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

4  Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
5  But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6  and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7  and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi. 8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren. 9  And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.

13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

23  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

24  Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.  26  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous, 30  and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31  Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets. 32  Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33  Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? 34  Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:  35  that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.

36  Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  38  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Do you ever wonder... Why the Vatican continues to try to  impose God and His Laws, by force and coercion, upon people instead of loving people into wanting to be with God and love His Laws when this unGodly method of "Evangelization" has failed so miserably given the state of the world today - and its history?

The answer lies in what in the business world is referred to as the "Peter Principle": An individual is promoted up to his level of incompetence.

Logically, if said individual's abilities were still being "under utilized", he would still be promoted one more level and so on. In the spiritual realm it is the same, except that, through drawing closer to God our "abilities" keep on growing and we may safely be "promoted" within His service indefinitely.

If Jesus, the Second Person of the Triune God, "...advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men." [Luke 2:52] - that is, He progressed in His spiritual and intellectual development as a human would do - what makes the Church Administrators think that "they have arrived" and no further effort is needed for spiritual and intellectual progress?

Tragically, they stopped centuries ago as legendarily Francis of Assisi pointed out to Pope Innocent III while, at the same time, John Bosco showed, by his trajectory that the only limit that we may have to our growth is our self-satisfaction and contentment with our status-quo and not the supply of  resources for growth - resources which are uniquely supplied by God.

Do you ever wonder... why such a prayer "big to do" is made when someone passes on? Masses, rosaries, etc.

If we would have paid close attention to our Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Holy Mother, we would have made a point of offering all those prayers before the individual passes on. When we pray for each other we are helping each other to minimize the falls into sin as well as giving each other a hand in returning to the House of  the Father.

But, as with most everything else, after nearly 2000 years, the "Shepherds" do not quite have it clear yet - thus the repeated visits of our Heavenly Mother Mary. After all - if She does not help us obey Her Son - who will?  Do not count on "Cardinal" Law, even though he was rewarded by being made the titular head of the most important Basilica dedicated to Mary - St. Mary Major in Rome.

Many do not seem to realize that counting on the Mercy of God as "an insurance policy" for "sure fire" forgiveness and a "free pass" to Heaven is almost equivalent to sinning against the Holy Spirit of God.

Because the "Name of the Game" is brainwash and as long as humans continue to be easy prey to such manipulations, they will continue.

Do you ever wonder... why a recovering alcoholic can have Holy Communion with both species [Body and Blood] and not "fall off the wagon"?

The answer lies in the fact that, after a long fast, partaking of the Blood of Christ during communion does not have the same effect in the organism as if one took a drink of wine.

We often wonder... why so many keep "chasing new Marian Apparitions" and when quizzed about their prayer life they do not even fulfill Mary's most basic requests repeated since the 19th Century?  Because marching and demonstrating is "more fun" and is not what Jesus taught by word and example.

Do you want to quickly shut up one of those "finger pointing" and "damn all of you sinners" holy ones? Start inquiring about their prayer life with specific questions demanding specific answers and you will see squirming like you have never seen before!
