The
Living Fulfillment of Our Function
An Example
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to share with our readership what we
consider "perfect results" in the fulfillment of the function God
called us to carry out.
Following is the transcript of a letter that we have just received in
response to our request for a confirmation of the desire to remain in
our Select Mailing List. Those familiar with us know that we do not
publish complimentary letters. However, this one contains all of the
results that we believe God want us to achieve, thus, as an
encouragement to those who may believe that this is not possible, we
have chosen to publish it.
We have underlined and footnoted certain key areas of the letter so
that we may discus them at the end.
THE LETTER
May the Peace of God be upon you all
as well!!
It is my hope and prayer that God will allow me to remain on your list.
My faith has been nourished
(1) by all of the information you have
written and your help has helped me live out that faith much more fully
in these last 3 1/2 years.
I know it was Our Lord who
led me to you (2), and He will decide if I still need
your
help (3) It is my firm belief that I do, and that
as far as I have grown, is as easily as I can fall again (4), but I also know whether you come or go
in my journey, is not as important as long as I remain close to Jesus.
(5)
I have printed every one of your documents, except for e-mail, which I
do occasionally and always do for the personal replies you have made to me. I have made these paper copies
because unfortunately most
of my own family is in a state of denial or crisis of faith, and although they may be blinded now, I know the mercy of God will one
day
penetrate their hardened hearts (6) and if I am not around at that time I want them to be able to have
access to your information because
I know it to be true.
I have shared some copies... as
I feel prompted by the Holy Spirit. (7) I believe each one has been helped in
some way.
I haven't shared this with anyone in my own church yet, not because of
my lack of faith or mistrust in you, but rather because I have not been
prompted to. I have been blessed to have come across some blinded
priests in my life and since I was a little child, I have been pushed
away from the catholic church. I say blessed because from an
early age
I was shown that you can't judge God on man's actions and that our Holy
Faith rests upon Him (8) and our own actions. I may have been
pushed away for a while but God always lead me back. Because of these
earlier lessons it is not so hard for me to not be so crushed as I
watch what is becoming of our church.
I know it must be and happen to cleanse it, and you have confirmed to
me over and over that some of the things I see happening, really are
happening and maybe I'm not as crazy as I sometimes think or I am just
to self doubtful at times. Although
in a worldly sense I am afraid, (9) I know God will give me the courage, and
strength to endure whatever I must to fulfill His plan for my life.
(10)
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I thank God most of
all (11) that He has allowed me the grace of
finding your site. I know most of all that you have blessed me over and
over these last years and I hope you realize how your simple "yes" to
God's invitation has helped me so very much. I can never repay you, (12) but I can promise you I am and will
continue to use the knowledge and truths you have shared with me, to
help as many poor souls as myself, (13) as the Lord wills me to and to live my
life each moment for Him and to offer as many prayers as possible for
the conversion of souls and for reparation to His most Sacred Heart and
the Immaculate Heart of His Mother.
May God continue to shower His blessings upon you all, and may St.
Michael, the great prince and guardian of His people come with the Holy
Angels and Saints and protect you and us always.
Love, peace, and blessings

COMMENTARIES
/ CONCLUSION
(1) Our primary objective - nourish the dying
faith.
(2) Those who seek, shall find.
(3) Precisely! It is His Will what we must seek.
(4) That is wisdom! and an almost complete
assurance of not falling back again.
(5) It is Jesus! Not Paul, Apollos, Kephas - it
is Jesus Who matters! [1 Cor.
1: 12]
(6) That faith, that trust, is what Jesus will
use to penetrate those hardened hearts.
(7) That is the guidance we should all strive to
have always! It is infallible!
(8) That is a true Blessing and will always
insure that nothing will ever come between God and us.
(9) This is a reality we must accept - the flesh
and all the weaknesses associated with it....
(10) ...while knowing that with God our
weaknesses will always be overcome.
(11) Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God
what is God's! [Luke
20: 25]
(12) The fulfillment of our mission in you
surpasses any possible payment you could make....
(13) ...except this, which is the proper
utilization of the "Talents" entrusted to you. [Matthew 25:14-23]
miguel de Portugal frequently offers prayers of consolation to our Lord
Jesus Christ for He must have felt very lonely and quite rejected while
carrying His cross up to Golgotha. He also thanks Him for carrying on
to the bitter end a mission that, by human appearances, seemed to be
totally in vain, while asking Him to grant him such enormous Grace so
that he can do the same for His Honor and Glory.
miguel de Portugal feels that this letter is nothing less than a
reminder and confirmation of His "Yes!" to such request.
May we then add our voices to those of the Seraphims and Cherubims as
they intone before the Throne of God:
Holy,
Holy, Holy Lord, God of Power and Might, Heaven and Earth Are Full of
Your Glory. Hosanna in the Highest - Blessed is He - Jesus Christ! -Who
Comes In the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the Highest!
