This is all so true and as I see it humility is mandatory for any human being to be worthy of God’s grace; after all He lowed himself from the position and authority of God the Creator of all things seen or unseen; down to here in this fallen world of corruption with its overwhelming sin to save us, through His only Son our Lord Savior and Redeemer Jesus The Christ! In so doing He became one of us to suffer for all of our dirty filthy sins and evils that many people partake of, taking our punishment! If he was willing to do that showing the world such vast infinite love that He offers to us; I think we should be willing to crawl on our faces if required to prove our genuine heartfelt humility!
Accept and receive His most precious gift of Himself the Redemption and New Everlasting Covenant; that He gave Himself his way as the mandatory sacrifice in order to allow us through the Gate to Heaven and be in God’s holy presence!
This reminded me of a book a fellow worker who had studied to be a priest that he gave to me a short time before I had a catastrophic injury and subsequent long road to recovery; from which I will share a few excerpts here with you. It helped me and I’m sure it will help you too!
The Imitation of Christ is a Christian devotional book by Thomas à Kempis, first composed in Latin ca. 1418–1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member.
The Imitation of Christ (De Imitatione Christi), first published in 1418 by the German-Dutch monk and scribe, Thomas Hemerken of Kempen, better known as Thomas à Kempis (1380 – 25 July 1471).
“If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.” ― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
“But he who would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ must study to make his whole life conformable to that of Christ. What doth it avail thee to discourse profoundly of the Trinity if thou be void of humility, and consequently, displeasing to the Trinity? In truth sublime words not make a man holy and just: but a virtuous life maketh him dear to God.”
“Vanity of vanities and all is vanity.” Eccles 1. 2. “Except to love God and serve Him alone. This is the highest wisdom, by despising the world to tend to heavenly kingdoms.”
Often remember that proverb: “the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear filled with hearing.” Eccles 1. 8.
“Study, therefore, to withdraw thy heart from the love of visible things and to turn thyself to things invisible.” My Imitation of Christ.
God bless you.

I think this other most recent blog does correlate well here, so I provide the link for you convenience! Thank you.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
St Paul said in Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5: 1-2)
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one…
This is Fantastic and so Beautifully done; full of clear cut “Truth and Inspiration!” I have the exact same difficulty and disposition; your Scriptural references are Perfect! Isn’t this it I thought; we have an inner battle going on in our lives constantly between two alter egos in a sense; one a David so good and faithful wanting to face any adversity and the other the slothful, arrogant and selfish scoffer, both vying for dominance, only one deserves it by “virtue and faith” while the other “deserves everything he’s got coming to him for being so toxic!!”
You reminded me of my old High School Principle who was a strong Greek family man, football coach and lawyer to boot; lots of goodness and wisdom pouring from this man I still remember fondly that Sir with Love; having tears in my eyes! I had dropped out of the football team due to my falling very ill with severe mono and pneumonia. After a long recuperation period staying home I went to his law office one afternoon to talk to him away from the school, about the situation of having missed too much school telling him how I thought I had blown it or failed him, and the team too! He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Lawrence, life’s biggest challenge is learning to face up to adversity!”
Thank you for putting all these connections that matter together because you brought forward what that good virtuous man like a “David” himself said to me long ago; and now all these years later it hit me like a ton of bricks and made me cry with a joy in my heart; that God is sayings, “I’m always here just believe!” He points out now that He was with me that time my Principle spoke those words that ended up meaning so much all these years later, here with this writing of yours; telling us all that He is “always” working with us to make sure we don’t fail, but, we must be willing to “face all adversity and never quit;” He will bring us through victorious and to our rightful home!
Just like in recent years while working in a government highly technical job I had; where due to adversarial politics I was caught in another battle in which derelict management by a nefarious person put me in “Harm’s Way” which I knew at the time was going to either get me fired if I resisted for insubordination or to instead just take on the dangerous challenge; which I did! I ended in the hospital and had another long battle to fight after my body was contaminated with, of all things; many “toxins!” I was now in a new long protracted battle, like as I was when a boy in school, trying to get well again and not fall behind; which I had not back then, as I did pass all my courses that year with flying colors and was promoted. This time I had to fight a corrupt system that is rigged, while very ill and under long term doctor’s care to hopefully get my older body to recover like I did all those years ago.
The lawyer I hired to represent me in the Workers Compensation part of this battle, was nothing like my High School Principle, and I began to realize quickly that he didn’t have my best interest at heart; as he would play ball with the system (government here) and Insurance Company; appeasing them. I ended up doing something unheard of there, where through a grace of God I happened to have the one Judge presiding over my case out of all the Judges in that court system, that would give me the respect I deserved, and allowed me to fire the lawyer and run my own case; with never having taken a law course. I prevailed, though a long hard extremely stressful battle on multiple fronts; the legal portion taking over three years, doing all my own work on the case while I was fighting the inner battles; the biggest of which was the trauma and “Toxins,” the chemical and molecular changes as well as the emotional Toxic effect that a few doctors were helping me to overcome! One in particular was a Saintly woman who was like having a real in life Guardian Angel on my case, because she did what few other human beings would have done or actually did; She backed me up 100% over any cooperation with the system; and through her care and of course medical expertise having been a Harvard Professor of Medicine and practiced it in her chosen specialty as an expert for many years; knew more than most about Medicine, People, Life and this at times “Jaded System!”
I overcame “All the Adversity,” every bit of it; and though beat up physically with some trauma and stress, I could as my mom used to tell me as a boy along with dad, “when you fall down get up and brush yourself off and continue on your path;” but also as mom put it, which I thought was so funny at the time, “to just show the world you can still walk, talk and chew bubble gum; all at the same time!”
Thinking Biblical; try to be a “David against Goliath!”
God bless you.

These toxins are killing me!
When my flesh is raging I must beat it back to a place of silence so that my spirit can be filled with the power of the Lord once again. When we know better we can do better. For many years I couldn’t understand why my walk with God had been such a roller coaster ride. Although the obvious reason was sin the agony of torment that plagued me was, “ Why did I constantly keep falling back into it? When I knew better why wasn’t I doing better?” It’s ironic how God will have you right where you need to be at the appointed time you need to be there to get out of you what is needed for your spiritual growth. In this season I have this passion for health and fitness, I’m a fitness trainer and as I’ve become committed to health I’ve discovered my body in new ways. I’ve discovered foods and the way they effect my body. I’ve developed a focus to know what foods are good for me and what foods must be eliminated. It’s amazing how the body, mind, spirit and soul are all connected and how God has me at a place of knowing, focus and discovery. As I’m learning my physical bodies nutrients I’m discovering my spiritual bodies nutrients. I’ve discovered when I lose focus and become distracted by life putting bad nutrients in my spirit my flesh begins to rage and the very flesh that I had silenced has now become hungry and aggressive to be fed. When I feed my spirit bad nutrients I notice I’m very ineffective. I no longer have wisdom to pour into others, I become selfish, vain and very prideful. Opportunities to impact are lost because I’m filled with doubt, insecurity, and confusion of things that I once was so confident about. The glory in this is I now know what my spirit needs to function at high capacity and to be effective to impact those around me with the power that only God could provide. I realize when I spend too much time away from God on worldly pleasures my spirit suffers which then causes my mind to suffer. When my mind suffers I’ve reached defeat before I begin and can’t be useful to anyone around me. I realize feeding my spirit with proper nutrients is imperative for me to perform at high performance daily. As the spiritual nutrients fell on David when he was only a shepherd boy and not even a man like his counterpart Goliath. But, he spoke with such power and was braver than any of the full grown men who were terrified of Goliath, when he said, “Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies of the living God.” ( 1Samuel 17:26) David then said (17:37) The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from the Philistine. David had been filled with good spiritual nutrients and his faith in God was so strong that although the odds were against him, his spirit reassured him he could do all things through Christ who gave him strength. Dwelling in the spirit is so much sweeter than dwelling in the flesh. The impossible only happens when we stay connected to the vine of life Jesus Christ! So know your spiritual body and feed it daily the spiritual nutrients it needs to perform at the highest capacity!

Here we are in the “End Time” and many great signs have been put right in the face, to help humanity to differentiate Good from Evil just as Holy Scriptures foretold; that the exact time of the End would only be known to God Almighty, but that the nearing to that point for this entire existence, that the signs would be self-evident, with many signs and wonders occurring that would be witnessed by multitudes of people! And even the Holy Mother of our Savior Jesus Christ has come to us out of total love and for God’s will to be done on earth as the perfect emissary until the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus; bringing Truth, Love and Enlightenment to humanity, in order to help us all to see the “Plain Truth” so that many more individuals turn away from evil and all sin before it’s too late!
This message in this article and Podcast is truly remarkable and anyone who is not paying attention to this and the many other indicators in Holy Scriptures is running with the Devil! Look how the evil satanic MSM supports lies and even abhorrent evil; as good and truth! They have boldly gone to extremes to support George Floyd as if some saint or in the least a poor victim of injustice; when it is totally the opposite and he was and is the epitome of the crazed criminal pushing drugs and even doing a home invasion where two women were in the house with a toddler that he held with his accomplish at gun point while he robbed and tormented them. Anyone that can’t see the Great Apostasy and slipping of humanity to the darkest evils that have ever infected this planet; is either insane, stupid or evil already beyond repair! The Devil did absolutely leap into the Catholic Church back at the time of the Vatican II Council to begin this overwhelming assault upon the Church that Jesus Christ Himself began, with Saint Peter following His instructions to continue building it and leading the faithful!
I often sound like I’m criticizing others but truth be known I just speak boldly and fervently about the things I see that are so wrong going on all around us! I am one who totally resists and take to heart what Edmund Burke phrased perfectly in this quote of his!
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
I resist and always speak out loudly to such evil that is targeting our Church, society and personal lives daily. I’ve had to take on the progressive Communists in my region that are no different than circa 1940 Nazi Germany’s Gestapo that worked overtime to destroy anyone that didn’t join their way of thinking or who speaks out resisting them! All tyrants are devils and I must say always, they are my enemies! And thank God there are many in this world that feel the same way while seeing the truth clearly before them; as some even of course being so devout to emulate Saint Padre Pio in their faith and actions or perhaps having to follow the Father’s will like many great historical figures did. Say like William Wallace the Scotsman of the true to life person that the story and film “Brave Heart” was depicted so forthrightly; would rather die for Freedom of the repressed and their following the Will of God through our Savior Jesus Christ; over all the world’s devils, telling me I must think and be like them! Never, will I do what they our enemies and Satan command, but I will die if I must for my Lord Jesus Christ; always fighting the good fight!
Many souls are going to hell and they are all being given the opportunity to turn from theses earthly and spiritual evils to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior, in these Latter Days; but so many are saying no and following the evil man of perdition or corrupted “Ways of the World” to join Satan in his attack upon humanity; and then in hell for eternity!
So be it; they make their own beds and will be in them in a manner of speaking; forever! Eternal Damnation is suffering beyond anything we can imagine with no relief or comfort from it forever!
God bless you.

CP&S comment. Was Satan introduced into the heart of the Church at Vatican II to bring about a false church under all the evils of Freemasonry? There are exorcists who say so, and St Padre Pio was convinced that this great apostasy was already unfolding in his time. It is all part of the Third Secret of Fatima, yet the majority of Catholics remain totally ignorant of this cataclysmic reality. It brought tremendous suffering to Padre Pio; no other coming disaster or chastisement could compare in his many sufferings to his knowledge of the takeover by Satan of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
*****
Padre Pio spoke of a “false church” and a “great apostasy” occuring after 1960 with respect to the Third Secret of Fatima. The references are chilling, especially in light of what has happened in the last 50 years under Vatican II, Modernism, Ecumenism, decline…
Matthew 6:24 ESV “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
Deception, lies and sin abound in this topsy-turvy materialistic secular world today, so much as I see it that from an outside observer such as an angel of God’s or Jesus Himself this place we call home must look like some seething cauldron of sin, crime, folly and outright arrogant decadence! God’s vast great mercy and devoted love for His children is the only reason this continues on toward total collapse and perdition; or the final battle between all the glory and power of God in heaven against all that is truly evil from the deepest and darkest pits of hell. I see it plain as day now this world is out of control and the wanton sin along with the madness is ratcheting up to the showdown of the universe and all existence!
Just this week I wrote my sentiments here at this site in regard to a couple of specific issues arising in the Church which I partially repeat with these excerpts, that follow and do relate to this article as well. Bear in mind please, that I’m not talking from a happy or easy going frame of mind these days as I once did throughout most of my life regardless of circumstances, as I was an eternal optimist who always saw the “glass half full!” But, as a fine family man and friend who has both young children and teens, a fine good wife and mother; both of them working as person’s that do so much to help adults having difficulties through their professions, he said to me in a conversation we were having about some of my writing as we were getting caught up since our last long talk, he said, “you’re not that way anymore then,” obviously asking where I stand in my POV; to which I replied, no! Saying not that I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope is truly what we have to hold onto moving forward, and, we will be rewarded for genuine faith in Him our Savior who won’t ever let us down, but, while we’re in this ugly battle with so much evil right in our faces daily and throughout this corrupted treacherous world, I can’t be the happy go lucky guy I once was, saying things like, “don’t feel so sad or beat up, it’s all going to work out you’ll see!” Well, I meant it in the past and I do now, although I still have moments of exuberance and I do always maintain that we will see, and things will be fine eventually; but this ugly misery that has been poured out over the world to push it all toward being a hell on earth is only going to get much worse before it will be “Cancelled;” with all these “Cancel Culture” hypocrites and wicked, demented slaves to Satan, who are so unforgiving and radical in all they do or think, being the true destructors or perhaps as foretold in Holy Scriptures, that in the End Time in the book of the Apocalypse the locusts would run rampant as the climatic end approaches and they only seek to ruin human lives in their path! Which is exactly what we see going on in the US Government where evil vicious and ugly persons are setting out to destroy all that is good about America for communism, actually doing harm to the genuine good citizens, while bringing in illegal alien criminals, with children used in front of them as a deceptive shield; and these evil officials seek out anything else of virtuous good they can ruin in the process, like the Constitution and even the Church; these slaves of Satan!
Revelation 9 “Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the [a]bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.”
Society is overflowing with these same type of sinister destructive persons doing their part to inflict misery where and when they can; while all of us who want nothing to do with such evil try our best to live in a manner like Saint Mother Teresa stated we should, “just one day at a time,” carrying on fighting the good fight! So it’s difficult, more than ever to feel like being a part of this fallen world now, and our Hope is in Him, our Lord and Savior; which is being made so very obvious to us as we see all leadership falling apart, even in the Church.
This from my reblog here the other day shows why it’s so plain to see. “But, what I have to focus on most of all in this wholesale global debauchery and discounting of innocent human babies for these ulterior materialistic sacrilegious designs, by some earthly powerful corrupted persons; that this is also more poignantly than all of what I’ve mentioned, is a ramping up exponentially of the Devil’s final massive plan to take as many souls to hell with him as possible; so we are in later days, there can be no doubt about that now! We know that throughout ancient history from Holy Scriptures and other records that many times chastisement and God’s wrath did come down upon the earth to punish and destroy certain peoples that provoked God and went so far in blaspheming Him that it was required at that point! Such as the Great Flood of Noah’s time or how Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed; and life on earth was allowed to continue in order to fulfill God’s plan and ultimate Salvation for all who would be worthy of forgiveness! But, the sort of things going on now in this highly advanced unprecedented time are producing transgressions like nothing this world has ever seen and I say this is all next to being in hell, or in effect; it’s really become very close to hell on earth! So, let’s face it you and I can logically and in our hearts know that our all loving Creator who we are able to know and worship in the form of our Savior Jesus Christ, will not be putting up with much more of this truly diabolical satanic activity much longer! It can’t be allowed to go any further than the appearance of the Antichrist because then what would be the point of allowing a completely out of control blaspheming human race to continue and transgress God in ways too ugly to even talk about. We have reached the breaking point and things are moving fast now; which stands to reason being in the digital age!”
Another fine article here on this site “Babies were aborted alive, placed in a fridge to harvest cell lines used in some vaccines: researcher said” based on reports from February 19, 2021, LifeSiteNews: And I quote here from that article report; “Cell lines derived from aborted babies used in the production or testing of various vaccines, including a number of COVID vaccines, most likely came from babies who were aborted alive, and according to the general practice as outlined in medical literature, may have been placed in a fridge while still living where they awaited dismemberment before having their organs harvested, a researcher has found.”
And here I’ve decided to use all of the script that I wrote yesterday regarding this outlandish condoning by Church Hierarchy along with our False Prophet Bergoglio; the admission into the chaste female order of Nuns who have always done a wonderful job of serving our Lord Jesus and His Church as well as the human community at large; a man to call himself a woman Nun!
“Satan’s evil has now permeated not just all walks of secular life in the entire global community but now resides in the Holy Sanctuary Mother Church, which is an act of sheer “blasphemy on a daily basis” putting our Church in no better standing than ancient pagan idolaters like the Mayans with their human sacrifices infused with totally lustful debauchery and denigration of life on earth making humans mere babbling, moronic, crazed banshees not just acting the part of the fool but actually inviting demonic spirits to invade them, taking possession of their very souls; selling their souls to the Devil gone wild on steroids! Make no mistake about it; this is satanic worship getting the old serpents grip on hearts, minds and souls by the millions!”
“This infiltration has been a long time in coming with a steady almost automatic or impulsive increase of corruptions throughout secular society and the equally steady to rampant perversion of the Church and all the good it has meant to humanity through the ages; to now becoming a coven of devilish fiends traipsing and masquerading around like the Devil’s own right in the Church, seeking to pull it all down into hell with Satan! This should obviously mean to anyone who is sober and attentive to what Jesus Christ gave to us by His suffering and dying on the cross by fulfillment of the Holy Scriptures that we are absolutely in the “End Time!” There is no kidding around or loafing now; so many human beings at this rate are going to hell for eternity, and we all are in jeopardy, as Satan formulates his final stage of “global deception” that will even trick some of the elect, ushering in the antichrist to enslave the entire human race; claiming all souls for him to torment in hell for eternity!”
“I’m shocked that so many people are so easily duped and sucked into this vortex of abomination currently sweeping up souls around the globe! But this is only possible because the gates of hell have been opened wide releasing massive numbers of demons to infect and infest the human race and destroy God’s children! We must continue to pray fervently and cry out to our Lord and Savior constantly now moving forward, to save all those who are worth saving, and in this plea our hope should be that countless humans will wake up in time, turn from evil and call upon Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; asking Him to save them while there is still opportunity, for any who will accept Him as our Lord Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ!”
I’m only a lowly sinner and one of the lost in this mess of a world, but, I still can distinguish and see wrong from right; thank God I can and know that I, just like any of you, need to pray and try our best every day; to keep trying to do even better in seeking and following His will, who is wanting so badly for each of us to turn away from sin and accept Jesus as our personal Savior; so we can be together in heaven forever! Amen.
God Bless.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

1 John 2:15-17 ESV “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.”
John 8:23 ESV “He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”
James 4:4 ESV “You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
Philippians 3:20-21 ESV “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.”
1 John 5:19 ESV “We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”

Before you go to Holy Communion next time, read this…
A Eucharistic Meditation from St Justin (d. 165), an early Christian martyr and saint:
”There is then brought to the president of the brethren bread and a cup of wine mixed with water; and he taking them, gives praise and glory to the Father of the universe, through the name of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and offers thanks at considerable length for our being counted worthy to receive these things at His hands. And when he has concluded the prayers and thanksgivings, all the people present express their assent by saying Amen. This word Amen answers in the Hebrew language to genoito [so be it]. And when the president has given thanks, and all the people have expressed their assent, those who are called by us deacons give to each of those present to partake of the bread and wine mixed with water over which the thanksgiving was pronounced, and to those who are absent they carry away a portion. And this food is called among us Euxaristia, of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.
For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, “This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;” and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, “This is My blood;“ and gave it to them alone.
First Apology 65-66
Father Z: “Reflect on what these people believed… the faith in which they believed fuel like a fusion reactor by the faith by which they believed.
They were willing to die [for their Faith].”
CP&S comment: Have we become any wiser or grown more pious in our devotion for our Eucharistic Lord after almost two thousand years from the times of those early Christians? They went willingly to go to their death rather then renounce even one iota of their Faith. May their testimony be a leading star for us to follow, and to awaken in our sluggish hearts a revival of that same heroic courage and love of Christ and His Holy Words.

UPDATE
From a comment on Father Z’s blog:
“It is clear that our liturgy is timeless through this saint’s writings. Justin Martyr (probably more correct to say Justin the Martyr) stands as one who was faithful to the end. With the predominance in most catholic circles of effeminate, clownish men in the hierarchy it is no wonder that we are in the situation we are in today in the Church. Unclear encyclicals, wrong-headed edicts, and watered down liturgy have led the Church to the precipice of the pit. While Christ told us that Hell would not prevail, many in the Church today are trying their best to prove Him wrong (and we know where that will end!).
Would that we all take St. Justin’s words to heart!”

“Thy Kingdom Come”
The signs are so evident and clear for those that wish to see! Only open your eyes and look at this more than troubled world, this falling world, and you see its now apparent limitations mounting up to a dead end! The parameters of maintaining the success of the whole of it, its populations, ecosystems, life sustaining raw materials and even the means of keeping it all, is an exercise in futility! Its fundamental essence intact being unattainable, is too obvious to ignore as now even the battle ensues by those that desecrate and attack the word of God and His Church; which is the sign that clearly spells out the end of this world is fast approaching, as men once again as in ancient times in massive numbers reject God, even defile and put themselves above Him!
It’s all too obvious to me that time is running out quickly for all of us and this is the time to not falter but hold fast your faith in Him, it’s so obvious that there is nothing else that can be trusted to provide comfort and security from what is coming to this world; as the most powerful among us try to hoard or consolidate all the earthly riches they can, thinking that will protect them or give them some measure of longevity they prove themselves the jokers in the deck; as they mock themselves in spades the biggest losers; as they separate and move furthest away from God’s Church to join the condemned and damned of this passing world!
Look and see, then decide quickly, where you stand while you can; because the time is at hand. Thanks to God in the highest, He who gives to all abundantly, but He only takes His own with Him into the “New and Everlasting Kingdom Come.” Amen.

My new paradise will become the world without end – as foretold
2014.04.17 21:00
My dearly beloved daughter, My resurrection from the dead happened for a reason. It did not take place simply to prove My Divinity to those who did not accept who I was. Up to that time, souls who died could not enter heaven. They had to wait.
But, no sooner had My resurrection taken place, than they were given new life in My kingdom. My resurrection brought eternal life for souls and death, therefore, would no longer have a hold over the human race. My resurrection will be truly evident at My Second Coming, for then all those souls, who died in me and for me, will also be raised from the dead and be given eternal life.
They will rise in body and soul, in perfect union with the will of God and they will live in…
Truth; “Modern liberalism’s attempt to define the “good” of man without reference to the God who determined it can only end in tragedy.”
Liberalism is a form of being mentally deranged! Dr. Michael Savage had said on radio and in his books that, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” I can see plainly that these people in this hell-bent category who now promote such illogical and destructive thought and behavior as Transgenderism are promoting Transgression against God Almighty; making them to me the stupidest or most arrogant people walking around on this planet. Much of their behavior is based purely on rebelliousness and not wanting to accept the reality of their being an order to the universe, and a carefully conceptualized one; which only proves that the higher power or Creator exists and is the Authority on all things; not us humans! Who in this case the renegade liberals, think they can protest anything they want and then dictate to the world that they are right about whatever they want to be right about, just because they say so; even when they are totally wrong and don’t have a clue what they are talking about! Time to wake up for so many are running rampant and amuck!
No doubt about it! “Modern liberalism’s attempt to define the “good” of man without reference to the God who determined it can only end in tragedy.”
Just remember this that those of us who believe in God and know Him through our faith and the actual Holy Scriptures given to mankind directly from God, know the truth in this matter, and are aware that Satan will use the liberals for his evil designs to ensnare and trap as many foolish and lost persons as he can to bring them to ruin and damnation! I’ve met some extreme liberals over the years who I had no doubt were demonically influenced and in a few cases it was completely obvious to me they were possessed by actual demons, which is becoming very prevalent these days throughout society, and we can see clear evidence of this in our political arena! Make no mistake about this that diabolical forces are running at a fever pitch these days and many liberals are a primary tool or conduit for Satan to project and spread his lies and nefarious designs!
I’ve personally dealt with liberals who will rant to no end about protecting or saving cats and dogs or other animals which I actually love too; from mankind, but, they absolutely won’t talk to me one bit about the horror and evil of abortion and basically deny it as anything bad or even sad, because to them it’s just a simple matter of a woman’s choice to control her own body and reproduction capability! I find it’s like talking to a brick wall, trying to get such people to see the simple facts and truth in this to me obvious transgression against God’s order and will in these matters.
As I see this conflicted situation it would be nice if this old adage would come into play during any interaction with such obtuse persons in these matters; what writer Oscar Wilde so accurately stated when he wrote: “I like talkingtoabrick wall—it’s the only thing in the world that never contradicts me!” The only actual downside is, that in some instances that holds true, but these particular Brick Walls are not always, “just seen and not heard!”
I’ve quoted Einstein in the past, and not that he was any theologian or expert in the realm of religion, but then because he wasn’t; and yet because we know he was the father of theoretical physics and could see the physical plane of reality in a much deeper way than most people. This is why along with his proven humility and genuine appreciation of the absolute miracle of existence, that I do indeed find his perspective refreshing; in that being a great man of science he wasn’t straying from the many obvious factors of our existence like some other scientists do; probably because some of them are also liberals to the point where they deny even the possibility of God and are devout atheists! Einstein was not any such sort of scientist, and here I quote what he said that pertains to God’s existence, religion and plan.
The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.
“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”
-Albert Einstein – “The Merging of Spirit and Science”
He also said while having a conversation with other physicists regarding the Big Bang Theory and origin of the universe; when one of the physicists was explaining that he extrapolated that in the Pre-Big Bang, how in that realm there were enough random events occurring simultaneously, which meant that the right combination had to come about at some point mathematically speaking and in the millisecond before the Universe came about; that is what surely must have happened! To which Einstein said, “God doesn’t Roll Dice.”
To me it’s obvious that even this brilliant scientist Einstein could see the absurdity of thinking that we can know so much the way this other scientist would have us believe and yet not see the absolute design by a greater intelligence than our extremely limited one, and how that was definitely behind Big Bang and all that exists! For Einstein could see the illogical absurdity of such thinking, when it’s actually easy to see the intricate design of all things, and the impossibility of so much order and well defined intricacies to just suddenly, randomly, fall into place like magic; or perhaps liberalism; where a thing is what it is, “because someone just says so!”
God bless.

Modern liberals often present themselves as the champions of “science” and “reason,” even as the positions they take grow increasingly fantastical. To sustain those positions, they reject science and reason in favor of pure ideology. They can stare at a sonogram and deny that it shows a human life. They can stare at a biological male and call him a woman.
The defense of reason these days comes not from the citadels of modern liberalism but from religion. What G. K. Chesterton called “the modern and morbid habit of always sacrificing the normal to the abnormal” has become a ubiquitous feature of Western culture. The last holdouts against this trend are the religious, who insist on rational norms.
Amen!
Glory, Glory Alleluia!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ and give our thanks to Him our Savior!
Thanks to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost; the Holy Trinity.
Thank you Jesus and Father in heaven for pouring out unto us all your mercy and love to save us giving this hope above all things seen and unseen;
of Salvation!
Amen! Alleluia!
Brother in Christ Jesus,

EASTER SUNDAY
“The Lord has truly risen, Alleluia!”
“The Lord calls all those He has redeemed to sing a hymn of victory.” (St Athanasius).
Something I wanted to say to another blogger who has big questions and wonders when or in what way the answers will come, say for example really knowing what you want?
“Spark of goodness within.” Where did that come from; have you asked yourself? Do you perceive correctly that in this messed-up “mean” world there is absolute goodness and simultaneously absolute evil? These two are the dichotomy of life the duality of what the struggle is all about! They both vie for your heart and soul or what it takes for true absolute love and freedom to exist within individual hearts and souls not automatons; and as you see in today’s world so easily with the advent of instantaneous global digital communication there are so many people doing wicked and horrific things each day as sure as the sun rises; but, all the while there are those individuals that fight the good fight, and like Abraham Lincoln who is one of my favorite top three historical figures referred to such persons at his First Inaugural Address Monday, March 4, 1861 how they respond and as he indicated his own conviction, “that “touched” once more by “the better angels of our nature,” but, I add though they struggle more than most to hold onto the good, they find the inner strength to persevere and bring out that, “spark of good within” themselves and encourage it in others; as I see them, as sort of the Don Quixote like heroes in their relentless journey to “follow that star of hope.”
I temper this with the brutal reality and fact that naivety can make one a target of the nefarious ugliness that roams the earth seeking only to ruin, which I personally know about from my having to contend with this very fact multiple times; but, I would rather deal with that as it comes as a challenge; than to toss in the towel and join the parade of fools, or even worse the wicked; thinking to appease evil’s thirst for my blood with allegiance; I kiss no ass! I walk alone at times, but, proudly of my own accord and on my own merits, trusting that my guidance will always come from above, the only source of absolute truth and love will watch over me; therefore I never truly walk alone! Now keeping in mind what I’ve said so far, do you think all of this is happening in a void and for no reason outside of what we puny fragile beings are capable of extrapolating regarding the why from all of this on our own, or is it more evident that the most high consciousness and power is totally aware of all we are facing and allows it to unfold toward a better end or the ultimate meaning and purpose, the final goal which is absolute love? I don’t mean love in the mere sense of what we contrive love to be, but, an absolute love that is actually never-ending and totally filling; a perfection that does exist far outside of our capabilities to fathom or produce. Could it be that this life as short or as long as it may be for an individual is just a beginning spark that we must strive to foster and protect “so that one day in the future” it will ignite and produce an eternal flame that will never be extinguished. As children and most certainly by the time we are adults we always know the difference between right and wrong, so too was that just in us by chance or accident? I see it clearly that we are tested over time, to choose the path to righteousness and that eternal love; or go in the opposite direction which is the path to damnation and total abandonment. Now, to cut to the chase so this won’t be too long and boring, let’s just consider from human history any historical figure that may have brought insight and truth to humanity like no one else did or could, and that truth was revealed over many centuries indeed millennia very specifically through prophecy and actual witnessed as well as recorded or documented events, that spoke to these questions very clearly and in such a way that nobody else could equal or duplicate and was obviously over time becoming even more valid as world events and all those previous prophecies become more self-evident and pronounced making it abundantly clear that the choice remains the same and is ours to make, each and every one of us; which is, do we want that eternal peace and endless love or would we rather choose to be destructive to others and our own lives in this world of constant conflict.
My friend, let me end this for now where I ended the last long comment to another of your articles with those very same words, which I just noticed I think not coincidentally, actually fits this communication to a “T” which I believe it was meant to. To me this is additional evidence of God at work in our lives.
“And, how would we love Him genuinely unless we had the opportunity to grow, or “evolve” as unique individuals who will decide for themselves, not controlled or manipulated, but, truly love God with all of our hearts of our own desire or volition!”
Lawrence Morra
“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His”
Quite profound and true words of wisdom you shared! I’ve been through some sad and painful things over the last dozen years that eventually altered me internally and externally, but, I still function very well by His grace and many would not have prevailed as I did if confronted with the same challenges, so, I must count my blessings and accept the outward appearance of what seems unfortunate, but, in reality is only what comes to all of we humans one way or another; change and broken as all things in the material world will do! Then realizing that the ultimate and important invisible change took place on the inside or hidden; the spiritual or deep in my soul; which belongs to God! So, whatever benefit will eventually be derived from all of this challenge and my suffering, will be manifested in His presence, when I complete my time on this earth and then really join with Him in His glorious loving Holy perfection; then I will be completely transformed into His eternal image and likeness, as a perfect child of God; at which time everything will be fine, so completely happy and joyous beyond imagination!
“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His, becoming witnesses of His Greatness.
Until we are seen, until we believe in Him, we only believe that we see Him, in reality, seeing only a vague form. Those who see Him will not be able to remain the same.” “When God Approached – Max Lucado”
This tells me that all things are in God’s hands as His plan unfolds and that these changes are both inevitable and they serve His Divine purpose; so that in the end we are able to have a perfect loving relationship with Him as unique individual free children of God’s. Perhaps this is analogous with birth pains being part of every new child coming into this existence, not easy, but, worth the effort and desire to know and love Him.

I see it clearly; Francis is not the Pope, Satan has worked through that fraud just as he does through Biden and Harris! I wrote a long letter of great importance to Bergoglio about political evil at work in my locale and never got any acknowledgement from him or the Vatican but instead was attacked further by these nefarious monsters! All this wishy-washy talk is bogus and people should have been ready to fight like I’ve been doing alone against these criminals; God rejects LUKEWARM! Biden is one of the most corrupt evil men to have ever been in American politics if not the worst! I have written short blogs and found much data along with photos that reveal a despicable, evil soul at work in that rotting flesh! Anyone that doesn’t see what I see so plainly be they a priest, a bishop or any religious leader is already signed up with Satan to rule in hell.
Francis is the ugliest hideous human being that I’ve ever witnessed on earth with his lies and sinister diabolical designs supposedly representing God in the largest and oldest Christian Church, he is nothing but a complete fraud and devil, an antichrist supporter; he is in the league with Adolf Hitler! The fact that the entire clergy is not already up in arms long before now to stop him and the evil that’s destroying from within is sickening and, you must all be cowards to not fight back and stop this sacrilege! Satan is in the Catholic Church and many others! END TIME!
n 2016, the Vatican was pulling for Hillary Clinton. Just days before the presidential election, Pope Francis renewed his criticism of politicians who speak about erecting “walls.” This led Slate and other publications to run such headlines as “It Sure Sounds Like Pope Francis Doesn’t Think Americans Should Vote for Trump.” Several Francis-friendly prelates ran interference for Hillary Clinton. San Jose’s bishop, Patrick McGrath, wrote a letter to his flock in which he said that Donald Trump’s complaint of a rigged system “borders on the seditious.” According to the Italian press, many of Pope Francis’s aides viewed Trump’s victory as a “bitter defeat.”
In 2020, the Vatican is once again running interference for a pro-abortion Democrat. Joe Biden fashions himself as a Pope Francis Catholic. He brags about his cozy relationship with Pope Francis. In 2016, the Vatican invited Joe Biden to a conference about medicine, a scandalous invite given that Biden supports making scientific use of aborted embryos. Biden gushed about the anti-capitalism of Pope Francis: “We need to create a culture which, as Pope Francis reminds us, cannot just be based on the worship of money. We cannot accept a nation in which billionaires compete as to size of their super-yachts.”
So it is no surprise that such Vatican officials as Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia are helping Biden by downplaying his abortion stance. Last week Paglia served up some mush about the dangers of abortion politics, according to Crux: “As US presidential elections heat up and ‘life issues’ are expected to figure prominently in the campaign, the Vatican’s top official in the area has cautioned against turning the pro-life cause into an ideological weapon, saying making the protection of life a political football risks doing ‘great harm.’”
How convenient for Biden. He must have been similarly pleased to see Pope Francis acolytes at Notre Dame ride to his rescue after former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz told the truth about him at the Republican convention. Holtz had said: “The Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion campaign in history. They and other politicians are Catholics in name only and abandon innocent lives.” In yet another profile in cowardice, Notre Dame immediately distanced itself from the remarks. Its president, Father John Jenkins, rushed out the pitiful sophistical statement:
While Coach Lou Holtz is a former coach at Notre Dame, his use of the University’s name at the Republican National Convention must not be taken to imply that the University endorses his views, any candidate or any political party. Moreover, we Catholics should remind ourselves that while we may judge the objective moral quality of another’s actions, we must never question the sincerity of another’s faith, which is due to the mysterious working of grace in that person’s heart. In this fractious time, let us remember that our highest calling is to love.
Nor could FrancisChurch abide Sister Deirdre Byrne’s remarks at the Republican convention. Byrne said:
Donald Trump is the most pro-life president this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages. His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President Trump will stand up against Biden/Harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide. Because of his courage and conviction, President Trump has earned the support of America’s pro-life community. Moreover, he has a nationwide of religious standing behind him. You’ll find us here with our weapon of choice, the rosary.
This prompted Francis-friendly priests, such as Fr. James Martin, who gave an invocation at the Democratic convention, to pontificate about the dangers of “partisan” religious. Martin wrote on Facebook: “First of all, no one candidate or party fully encompasses the totality of church teaching on all the issues. No one candidate or party ever could. There is no ‘Catholic Party.’ Yes, there are many important matters to consider, like abortion and the death penalty, but Catholics are not ‘one-issue voters.’”
Again, how convenient for Biden. Of course, all these priests tut-tutting Byrne about participating in politics are up to their eyeballs in it themselves and would never dream of lecturing Pope Francis on the perils of partisan politics, whose immersion in them is notorious. Their shilling for Biden is disgraceful, given what Biden and his radical cohorts plan to do to the Church should they win. “Catholic” Biden would preside over the most fiercely anti-Catholic presidency ever.
But FrancisChurch doesn’t care. It shares Biden’s politics and his disdain for traditional teaching. In defending Biden’s “sincerity,” Fr. James Martin, Fr. John Jenkins, and company are defending their own heretical Catholicism.
The Vatican under Francis has become a magnet for anti-Catholic liberals. In 2016, the only presidential candidate who received an invite to the Vatican was Bernie Sanders. In an interview with the leftist Italian newspaper La Repubblica during his visit to Rome, Sanders explained the invite: “Look, I believe that the reason for which I was invited to participate in this conference is that many of the issues which the pope tackles are similar to mine.”
Under a Biden presidency, this unholy alliance between the Vatican and Democrats would only tighten. Vatican officials are already purring about Biden’s “green new deal” and his pledge to rejoin the Paris climate accord. They also like his commitment to open borders and his plans to redistribute wealth.
The revolution underway in America, which would accelerate under Biden, is one that Pope Francis supports. The ideology of Black Lives Matters dovetails with the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a book by Paulo Freire that influenced Pope Francis, who made a point of meeting with Freire’s widow early in his pontificate. “[Pope Francis] considered the meeting with me because of the writings of Paulo, because of the importance of Paulo for the education of oppressed people, poor people, black people, for women, for minorities,” said Ana Freire.
After Texas Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso kneeled at a Black Lives Matter protest, he received a congratulatory phone call from Pope Francis. He was pleased to see a bishop joining in the protests. Is it any wonder the Vatican is providing cover to Biden? In him, the Vatican sees a fellow liberal with whom it can make common cause on the global stage. A grim irony in its rationalizations for Biden is that it was perfectly willing to question Trump’s faith for building a border wall. That is “not Christian,” the pope said. But the pro-abortion apostate before him receives no such condemnation.
Begoglio you devil; are supporting a man of perdition and diabolical evil! Hell awaits you!
