“My Imitation of Christ”

“Catholic devotional prayer”

I was quite agitated and even angry with some people that called themselves Born Again who viciously attacked this dear Word Press Blogging friend about her article in which she described her practice of doing the Catholic Rosary, and one of them a man even saying she will be damned to hell, to which I say those individuals are “NO” Christians but a synagogue of Satan, and they will be damned for sure as I know through all my life experience and wisdom gained through it, that they are WRONG! No so called Christian would do such an attack upon another Christian but they remind me of what the Radical Islamist’s do within their own religion and to others; could it be these attackers, that behave as wolves in sheep’s clothing online are not so Christian as they profess to be?

This article is dedicated to that friend for her devotion to Jesus Christ and indeed perfect plan, which He, God the Father brought to humanity through the Blessed Virgin Mary the Mother of God, Jesus Christ our Savior, through “The Immaculate Conception!” Keep the faith, and do the Rosary dear Friend; the world needs so many more people like you to save our souls through Jesus Christ, by devotional faith, prayer and advocacy supplication in humility, using all of his instruments to increase devotion and obedience in order to strengthen our faith!. I say this, that whatever praying you offer up to God the Father through Jesus Christ from your deepest heart He will NEVER reject, no not ever, for eternity! Amen.

The Imitation of Christ

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

A quotation of what a Good Reads follower had said about this magnificent book! “This book is going to forever be in either of two places in my home; my coffee table or my bedside. Reading this book this morning was like drinking deep of Christ’s love. Thomas a Kempis wrote this devotion in such a way to fan the flame in our soul with beautiful gentle words.”

Yesterday a true believer and gentleman who had been just as dismayed by this attack upon the Blogger, wrote to me a very important comment that I’m quoting a piece of here in my response to his letter that was so poignant and an actual God Sent, that I know God is working this all out by His will through His faithful. Amen.

I found your words to be quite strikingly profound and they immediately registered as important to ponder or meditate on which turned out to be accurate. As the evening went on I grew much more tired and had to retire, but then sleeping only a few hours I woke with a clear sense of mission and decided I needed to see what you had written earlier again; then things started to happen and my thoughts crystallized and these specific words reminded me of something, here when you said, “the devil is defeated and on a short leash, and the only evil that can befall me is that which God has ordained to help conform me to the image of Christ and accomplish His purposes. I thank God for His Word in which I read that Christ said things such as these would happen.”

I know now my friend that what you say here is pointing out a huge part or Truth of what is and has been going on with everything that happened over the last several years in my own life and even this tragic display by so called Christians on the attack! These words of yours reminded me of a small pocket book version of “My Imitation of Christ,” which a man I knew from back when I had that government job I mentioned to you previously gave to me not very long before the nefarious inspired major injury calamity happened, and this man had studied in seminary to become a priest, which he ultimately found wasn’t going to be his own personal destination in serving the Lord. If he had become an ordained priest I would never have met him, which is a fact. An interesting footnote here is that on the first text page or Foreword at the bottom of the page it says, “Feast of Our Lady March 25 1954.” But I hadn’t looked at this book in some years and you brought my attention to it by your words and I want to read a short passage from it that is located at the beginning. This was clearly a message for me to share with my friend and any of you who will see and hear! “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.

I skipped a few sentences but the focus of these words for me is that which you mentioned how our time is short here! Think of that, we don’t live long really at all here. And tragedy or an accident could befall anyone at any time and this is over in a flash. When we are younger sure we tend to not think of such things because we feel brash and full of promise but even then it can be over in a heartbeat. So, it really is so vitally imperative that any person hopefully learn that these words I just typed here are ideas that focus on a key directive that has been given to us and again by what you said earlier and now these words clearly tell us, “that serving and loving God” is all that matters my friend.

Many dots are being connected all the time; God gives us all of the dots and we are supposed to connect them. In so doing we demonstrate our faithful heart desire to follow Him, and that we put Him front and center, saying we are here Lord to Love and Serve You.

Here is when I realized I must share a couple of things with you that are very personal. I know from reviewing my life from childhood to now, that I was always a good heart and wanting to give love to others, but wanting and needing it is also built in. As I grew up I had my ups and downs with that; feeling at times really appreciated and loved and yet other times feeling alone, especially when my parents had marital difficulty; reacting as many children do in those situations with a sense of guilt and inferiority. Life itself damages us and how we react to that is key in whether we move forward growing stronger in spite of the hardships or we decline and give into the easy way out of that pain and perhaps drink or do drugs as an attempt to escape pain and fear or guilt and sorrow, but continuing that way to slip deeper into the despair and the eventual ruin that awaits anyone who will be so lost or foolish. We who are faithful know the only way that great wound or need can be completely filled, that great unstoppable need; is by God Himself. This deep human need is why so many of us turn to sin or habitual activities to quell that emptiness and inner conflict, to quench the desire to be embraced and loved unceasingly, because that is what this life is all about, LOVE. God created all of this and us in particular out of endless LOVE. God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten not made Son as the sacrificial “Lamb of God” to take away all sin and suffering out of His pure, eternal, absolute LOVE! But we mere broken humans can’t bring it to absolute fruition while here on earth and so we either develop a good life the best we can while following Jesus counting on Him to bring us to the things that we need and protect us from those that will harm us along the way; to then deliver us unto everlasting PEACE! Some people strike a pretty good balance while others are off the rails their entire lives, corrupted, broken and sinful even to the end; then there are those most blessed persons who walk with the saints and are doing God’s will as fully and selflessly as is humanly possible and even beyond by miracles!

I was talking with a relative many years ago who said we should listen to our parents and in his case he said especially his father; to which I replied we do, then he snapped back at me, “no, no that isn’t what I mean, I mean everything!” He went on to explain how he had not listened and was rebellious thinking he knew better than his father, saying how it’s not just about what you feel like listening to or accepting, and then not the rest, it’s all. I told him I get it now, that the one person you know would never screw you over or steer you wrong his father who had fought in War and been all around knowing so much about life and its meaning a very upright and as righteous a man as they ever come, straight as an arrow kind of man; you had better listen and do it so you don’t learn the hard way, and then it’s too late! That relative had gone through a life of hell suffering I’m sure like none of us would wish on our worst enemies. He was in poor health from it all and actually was going to pass away even though we all had no idea at that point it would be so soon, we assumed because he had pulled through so much for so many years, even riding the rails; it was a foregone conclusion he was a bull, and would not be stopped! He was, and it came sudden; being truly a bull, but being stopped when God said no more, without much time to do much of any value other than to ask God to save His soul which is the most important thing we can ask of God for another and then go through family grief and mourning. The flip side is he laid down his life for his friends, which Jesus told us is the best thing we can ever do to show true love for each other; sacrifice all for the blessings of others. His devoted loving mother was the only one that was with him when he died and she had ceaselessly supported him and watched after him in so many ways as he deteriorated as a human, good faithful man and son; a Martyr for God, his life being an instrument of God! Perhaps I will write a very long story telling all about him sometime if it is God’s will because it would be a tear jerking heart moving and faith inspiring journey to read about. Just a few days before God took him and he passed, I had a brief conversation with him in which he said to me, “we are here to love and serve God.”

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

For now I’m sharing with you that which never was done until now, with anyone outside of the family tree which is a big family in a sense being both a large immediate kindred, while also a brother of humanity; the eulogy I wrote in a few minutes the morning I was getting ready to head out to his funeral and Catholic Mass beforehand! After I read it the priest got back to the podium and said; “these words Lawrence read to us were inspired by God.” He a most wonderful human being before he passed on told me, “with God all things are possible.” Amen.

IN MEMORY OF YOU Our “Brother in Christ”

Life can sometimes seem confusing, and we all lose our way or fall short in some way, shape or form throughout the course of our lifetime. All of us make mistakes, but have a chance to regain our balance and learn from the experience a valuable lesson of life and then move on. While other unfortunate individuals never get a second chance to get back on the path of their life, continuing to slip into a life of despair. This ultimately leads to an ever increasing hardship and burden that those individuals must carry for the rest of their lives on earth. But I believe that there is the Great intelligence and Wisdom beyond this temporary life as mere mortals, that has a plan and knows the reasons why these things must go the way they do. Perhaps like the tempering of steel, some people must stay in the heat of the flame suffering longer than others, while that person’s inner character and makeup is altered and shaped into a newer and stronger form of what the original once was. And if a person’s soul suffers the sustained pain of a hard life while others seem to have more advantage and opportunity to be content and happy while here on earth, then consider that those who suffer the most may be earning wings to be a special guardian or pilot for the rest of us. And in this vein, I do believe our dearly departed brother in Christ earned his wings.

Brother in Christ Jesus,

The Imitation of Christ

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis has for five centuries been the most popular spiritual book second only to the Sacred Scriptures of the Bible. The edition that I quote from here is by the “Confraternity of the Precious Blood.” The book illustrates clearly the basic fundamental principles of the Christian Spiritual Life which brings our attention to the additional point from the whole Truth of how the Precious Blood of Jesus that was spilled when he was being chastised in the dungeon for our sins so that we all may live; was wiped up by the loving motherly hands from the ground where it was spilled by the mother of Jesus, Mary, thus completing full circle her Blessed connection to the Son she bore immaculately to humanity by God’s absolute power and plan, as she is a special part of His plan “The Immaculate Conception,” without which the “New and Everlasting Covenant” or “Salvation” could not have been brought into humanity and “her being hallowed” above all the saints in order to carry God into this human life; that made her the “Mother of the Church,” Jesus’s Church by Him becoming a perfect man through her most blessed womb, the only mother who carried in her womb God Almighty, as the man Jesus Christ the Savior and Redeemer, to save our souls from eternal damnation or separation from God and all that is good; how she is in that loop, connected with Him the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in this most special way forever and ever, Amen.

I quote from the book here; “follow Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As we study its contents we are convinced that without that Way there is no going, without that Truth there is no knowing, without that Life there is no real living.”

“The Letter for the Unborn”

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

Sometimes my comments on other writers blogs can get a bit lengthy as I’m sure most of you already know! I was commenting this week on one such blog I follow simultaneously while I was writing about the Unborn which seemed fitting since President Trump had announced he was going to appear and speak at the major rally in Washington! According to the Washington Post; “Trump is slated to become the first sitting American president to speak at the ‘March for Life’ – an annual rally in Washington that draws hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion activists. This despite the frequent criticism leveled at the president complaining that he doesn’t respect religion, despite having appointed two conservative justices to SCOTUS and hundreds more to the federal bench.”

But, then I decided I was going in the same direction in both the commentary for the other blog and with my wanting to post something special for this major annual event and then the light bulb went off that both of these writings of mine to commemorate the wonderful event would be better served if I applied all of my heart felt thoughts, feelings and prayers to both sites after a dream I had last night in which my mother was talking to me and who always supported the Pro-Life advocacy and shortly after waking and talking to a sister on the telephone about this matter who is truly a wonderful Pro-Life Advocate; she clearly inspired me even more to do the blog combo this way so I wrote my blog and felt that my previous commentary on the other blog which is quite a professionally done one and has an enormous following would be better served with this combined blog format today. Like I said my comments become voluminous and can be a distraction I’m sure of that, but I feel very confident with this situation that this other Pro-Life Advocate will very much appreciate my blog as the dovetailed response to one of her followers; to conclude my other previous lengthy commentary on that blog!

I hope you find something in this inspiring or even helpful and if you could at least pass it along to anyone you know who might appreciate it and that you feel it will do some good for; I will be deeply grateful to you! Thank you very much!

Bringing up Paul having committed murder or participating in such which is a controversial matter in itself with some faithful as well as theologians; in which some extensive research of the historical records and other evidence contained in Scriptures center on whether this could have occurred after the “Road to Damascus” or before because of the well-known fact that Paul was converted to a full blown Apostle of God through Jesus Christ as prophesied anyway; but regardless had no relevance with the matter of the Pro-Life Blog written by Caralyn, as to any point I had made on the Blog. It’s quite plain to see that you arrived with an “agenda” which failed miserably with me and I’m sure with most anyone else who follows Caralyn’s Blog especially in reference to the Right to Life, Pro-Life, Anti-Abortion position, she clearly advocates as do I 100%; as I say I’m quite confident this effort of yours failed; with her as well.

You with your thinly veiled rhetoric espousing mercy and compassion could be seen for what it is and you didn’t pull the wool over my eyes in the least bit. Again, I say my outlook of “no exceptions’ is meant to indicate that this “Sin of Abortion” is so serious that anyone willfully guilty of committing it places their immortal soul in the gravest of danger of eternal damnation; so that is why it is best or essential from the get goes to consider it as a “no exceptions” situation, say in contrast to times of war where out of absolute necessity people defending themselves and their country by killing the enemy is a horrible requirement in order to not be killed while at the same time “defending maximum numbers of innocent civilians” from aggression and murderous hell-bent enemies! The two fundamental issues do not equate or have anything to do with one another and “Massacre of the Innocence” is mentioned in Scriptures as an “Abomination to God!” My recommendation from all of what I said previous to your comment when the matter diverged, was that people need to take complete responsibility for their actions and control themselves not allowing themselves to sin or in particular fornicate with others which opens the door to the major difficulty to begin with, which then sometimes leads to those who are weak or blinded to truth or not living up to their own personal responsibilities to commit even greater sin, Abortion being the worst possible end result! And, you promote the concept in your rhetoric that people have unlimited chances to sin and do as they please which is so far from the truth it isn’t even funny. “Actions have Consequences” and some consequences are the “final curtain for a soul being JUDGED by GOD” to not be worthy of entering into “God’s Glorious Kingdom and gain Eternal Salvation.” This is why anyone who appreciates their own life that God has given them and the lives of others, especially the lives of completely innocent unborn or day of delivery humans, should be shaking in their boots if they are in that dilemma of making a final decision that leads to death of the unborn and very likely losing their immortal soul in the process.

I have a relative in the family tree that was faced with the actual dilemma of being pregnant and told by the priest of her parish that she can’t abort the child even though she was told by all the medical professionals that everything indicated the pregnancy was going to kill her; “if she didn’t get an abortion!” She suffered and went through such torment but “had not even considered aborting her child no matter what” and “always felt this strongly about the unborn;” so she went to full term and the baby was “still born” becoming a “Saint” as the Priest put it; and she went on to live because there is much more to the story, but it was all God’s will and plan “to test her” as He is the Creator and Judge and had plans for her, just as He does for all of us; but not all listen or have the genuine Faith to carry through to the end whatever it is God requires of each of us!

One thing to remember is “NOBODY FOOLS GOD!” He is searching all hearts out continually to determine if they belong to Him or to the master of lies and deception the Devil! That is something all of us should be thinking about every day and you are included in everyone, but there are no unlimited chances or opportunities to play around with God and His will for any of us, and “failing Him is the end consequence” that will have “zero chance of reprieve and 100% certainty of eternal damnation!”

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

This was actually the final epitaph for Emily Rose after her real life living hell journey here on earth, but in spite of her suffering she chose to serve God’s will and ultimate plan without hesitation over her own dreams or desires passing her test to serve God and simultaneously do His will, which was ultimately all about saving souls from damnation!

This Scripture is one that every human being that has a smidgen of belief in Jesus Christ should be taking to heart each and every day as they conduct themselves in this world, God’s world, where we are all being tested every moment and that is truth and fact. To ignore what I say here I certainly believe with others in my deepest heart is a grave error, with the most severe of consequences attached to it!

Amen.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ

Pope Francis stated “NEVER Try to Convert Unbelievers”

“Words from a Pope or False Prophet”

What follows is my response to a blog today regarding another apparent misdirection of the faithful by the active Pope Francis. I had to get into a more comprehensive explanation and chronicling of my own experiences that have led me to have my current perspective and belief that comprehensive efforts on many fronts including the Vatican are actively working to discredit the faith and renounce God’s word that Jesus Christ is “the Way, the Truth and the Life.”

It appears from Holy Scripture what Francis is saying flies in the face of what the Lord Himself has commanded us to do.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.” He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

I have a few things to add here! First I apologize for this extremely long comment but so many people around the globe need to get real. We are living in a most unprecedented time like no other in history when the digital age and information overload is non-stop, which is good and bad! The good side is that spreading the word of God and the Good news of the Salvation though Jesus Christ has never been so facilitated! But, the double-edged sword is at work in this, because Satan is using many of the advantages of high speed digital communication to confuse, misinform and outright deceive in earnest as the father of lies having these modern tools at his disposal! We now see a Pope that is false and I dear say he appears to be supporting the beast which I’ve become aware of over the last several years like many of you! My mother based on her long life experience and being a parishioner of the RCC had been saying for the last dozen years that Jesus is in a sense being crucified again by an out of control secular world and culture of death. Obviously materialism and vain exploits riddle the earthly societies tremendously while so many turn away from seeking God and prefer pleasure, lust and all manner of instant gratification. This leads to all manner of perversions and abuse which we read about or see on TV or the net news daily. Is it any wonder hatreds and violence plague our man-made system. This is to me a spiritual warfare like no other that has increased exponentially over the last 30 to 40 years and especially since 9/11/2001 which to me was a definite demarcation line or event to clearly show that two opposing ideologies or beliefs that have been colliding for well over several hundreds of years are now being set-up for a major showdown which is of course The Battle between Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and the antichrist.

On Christmas 2018 I was interacting that whole week with connections of mine on a social media platform sharing happiness and prayers for peace and salvation when a rabble-rouse agent or troll kept appearing on this one particular post and he increased his insults at our belief in Jesus and indeed upon Jesus with many carefully orchestrated rants that seemed to both promote atheism and then Nation of Islam which ultimately appeared to be the mindset of this derelict hateful minion! I am a passionate person and yes I can become a bit angry when wicked people offend or attack those I love! I tried for the days leading up to Christmas to be intellectual each time this individual kept appearing not letting well enough alone and allowing those of us of faith to have a peaceful joyous Christmas to share and celebrate the birth of our Savior! I will not just pass it off I thought; so I took it as a “direct attack” by evil, which I never experienced on Christmas by anyone my entire life until then! I know from this event and so many others that were painful challenges in my personal life over the last several years or more that this is pure evil at work in the world and it seeks out anyone of faith to attack viciously with its sole purpose to dishearten or trouble the faithful while completely confusing the weak and lost; it is pure hatred I witnessed not only of Jesus but of all His faithful. This Pope speaks in contradictions and I never thought that I would say such a thing having been brought up a Catholic and knowing in my heart I truly love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! But, I won’t go into all of my reasons except one is that I reached out to this Pope at the Vatican during one of my more if not most troubled periods in my entire life where I was up against powers and principalities; or very corrupted political slaves of the Devil in my locale and I got “Zero Response” back from the Pope when at least some acknowledgement regarding the matter which I explained in great detail in a letter of several pages; would have been appropriate. Now I realize I should have sent it to Benedict XVI instead, but I was duped like so many to believe we had a new Pope Francis. Now in light of the most recent betrayals of the Church and its faithful this Pope has sealed his fate in my view as being derelict in the least or possibly diabolical at worst.

Before I show you what I said to that attacker of our Lord on Christmas Day 2018 I ask that you focus on this Scripture which says it all in my heart and mind as to why I felt it important to share this long explanation.

“Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance.” Isaiah 45:22-23

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

Victoria, for a couple of days leading up to Christmas and right on Christmas this phony and deceptive guy who was commenting on a post about the two Scandinavian young ladies beheaded kept twisting truth like the Devil to make Jesus nothing more than some guy like Muhammad. His denouncing Jesus and Christianity therefore on Christmas set me off onto my mission, as he would not stop it no matter how many important things I tried to explain to him. He was a clever deceiver. He did however stop after this piece I wrote to him on the post!

Tony Aツaz Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” “Muslim hoax I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire.” Wonder NO MORE, Pay Attention and learn of your blaspheming error! You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected! Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous. First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said. Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist! The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven.

“In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such. An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen. After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion. The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God. According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God. Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion. For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)

These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such! Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic! In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy. Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom! Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion! It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said; he made it all up, the heretic! Islam seeks to conquer and must be stopped! And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!

After this experience on Christmas day 2018 the likes of which I had never experienced any such blatant antichrist in your face attack, during a most important religious observance activity for Christians, tells me that we are in the end times, as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to attack Christianity and it’s faithful; because the time is drawing near for God to return! Of course I could be off by many years but this is my hunch as there are so many signs and I was attacked by evil several years ago to stop me from being a witness and faithful one for Jesus. A woman of a consecrated Catholic order told me back then that there was a reason I was suffering for Jesus and it would become apparent at some point in the future why I was being prepared! Now I see in retrospect that God did want me to do something for Him and it could be just to be doing as I am or maybe something more; like a priest told me recently, “wait and see!”

God Bless You. Amen.

“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23, 24)

Because we who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior believe in the blessed trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that the Father and Son are one; when we glorify Jesus we are glorifying the Father. Therefore, the eternal glorification of the Father is through the Son Jesus Christ. If any people will not willingly give praise and glory to God in this life, they will do it against their own will throughout eternity. It’s made clear through God’s word to all who seek Truth, Hope and Salvation from a sinful world that in many instances is barely even a distorted reflection of God’s Glory, we must do our best to not be deceived making sure to discern God’s will from that of the worldly beast or even ourselves.

Thanks be to God. Amen.

Note: Upon my actual completion of this Blog in the very early morning hours today a comment showed up in my email from the author of that parallel blog which I’ve included with my reply below in the comment section in-case you’re interested. Thank you.

“The Miracle Mourning Dove, the Miracle Continues; Release Update!”

“we should instead be inspired by their symbol of hope, peace and the Holy Spirit.”

Today was the day to free the Miracle Mourning Dove from a captive and protective environment back into the great outdoors or the wild elements. As it turned out the Dove had made an adjustment to being confined and time was on its side to rest long enough to fully recuperate from the harrowing ordeal of blasting through a glass window pane which surely must have left the poor little fine feathered friend with some aching body parts to say the least; as the impact should have broken the fragile hollow bones of the bird leading to some compound fractures and torn tissue or internal injuries! But, our friend was a Miraculous Special Bird that happened to make it through that even and to then be found by me on the garage floor not moving and initially taken for dead. With chard’s of broken glass strewn all over the floor and on a car parked in the garage it to me was a forgone conclusion that no small bird could be traveling with enough velocity to blow out the glass window pane with feathers lying about and the bird motionless, it seemed easy enough to surmise it had broken its neck! But, I was to find out that appearances certainly can be deceiving and making assumptions with such an occurrence isn’t unexpected under the circumstances, but still isn’t the right thing to do; because as it turned out this was a “Miracle Mourning Dove” not just a bird.

I would say that in comparison if one of us were to start running as fast as we can and then with our head aimed directly at a fixed panel or two of sheet rock or dry wall with the intent of blasting though it unscathed that would be similar to the dynamic physical forces applied to such an event and what it would feel like to do what the Dove had done. Needless to say if not very seriously injured requiring a trip to the ER that would be amazing enough for one of us to accomplish, but even if that were the case or not, either way anyone doing that would be extremely sore for days if not weeks probably hobbling around like a near cripple; if at all possible! But, this bird was remarkably intact and functional although very sore I’m sure so the rest and TLC it got from December 11 to today January 11 turned out to be “ample and timely” because the outdoor temperature had dropped for the foreseeable future now that we are heading into mid-winter and the milder daytime highs were long gone since the crash though the window. And the Dove living in a comfortable 70 degree home my concern was mounting for too much of a shock for the bird with subfreezing and down toward zero temperatures on the way! That is until this weekend, because a January thaw just kicked in this morning and the daytime high got up into the mid 60’s F. For the last week or so the temp barely got into the low 40’s and at night freezing hovering around 32 degrees and lower some nights. So an acclimation or transitional temperature variance was available it turns out today and tomorrow to give the Dove a smoother adjustment to the elements and getting back into the swing of things. I was very pumped up how this all by fate or “divine providence” was working to the advantage of the Dove, so that a poor little bird that shouldn’t even be alive was now going to have the best shot at getting back into its groove or the flow with all the other Doves that frequent this area around my home.

The only thing that bothered me was when I brought the “temporary container home” for the dove outside to release it the wind suddenly picked up and just at the second I was preparing my video camera to record the “Miracle Mourning Dove” leaving the container and taking flight, which I was hoping would be a nice gentle walk out onto the surrounding ground and getting its bearing, then thinking to itself, I’m FREE and in earnest flapping its wings happily rising up out of the immediate area not feeling confined or restricted in this man-made prison that it had to call home for a month anymore; it would dart on up into the beautiful trees that it had so often sat in waiting for the right time to fly down around my home getting various seeds that I lay out for them all; or other times how for long periods it would just be roosting up there in one of those large trees about 150 feet away with many other mourning doves. Well, my expectation was immediately shaken to the core, when a huge gust of wind perhaps as much as 50 to 60 MPH came blasting through the area taking the plastic container lid off and flinging it like a piece of paper, then the whole container lifted up and flipped over before I could hardly react; and I had only turned the camera on at that very second and getting lined up, focused and steady was virtually impossible, but I also found that the direction that the Dove flew as it exited the container just as it began to tumble over was straight up into the direction of the bright Sun as it broke through some clouds; so the glare in my eyes blinded me for that moment and I had to hope that at least a few frames of video would give me a view of the Dove’s departure. As it turns out, I believe I have a frame of the bird a good 100 feet into the air with the powerful gusts of wind ruffling its feathers as it fought its way through the waves of fast moving air, sort of how we play in the ocean surf, and with all that heavy resistance the bird was being put through the hurtles fast but as my sister later told me; “God gave it a boot in the butt to get back to reality,” which I agreed and added back, into the wild world of survival; out of the lap of luxury or soft life of pampering that I had provided for my beautiful fine feathered little friend.

I admit I felt sad about that part because I think I love all animals so much and want to pamper or baby them giving them a break, and lots of TLC; but that isn’t natural and they won’t make it out in the real world if they get used to my ways and will become an easy target for only God knows what! But, to my glee after I got to looking around I saw a couple of Mourning doves sitting in one of those trees and then suddenly another one joined them making that special number 3, which to me was the acknowledgement I needed to say in my mind and heart that everything is going to be fine; and it’s in the hands of God! He took over where I had to leave off.

So, Yes I miss my little fine feathered friend and wish I could still be keeping it home-bound and letting it know I care what happens to it while providing all the basic essentials too! But that isn’t what it was meant to live like and actually gyps or robs it of the instinctual predicate of sailing through the air high in the sky and being with its own kind as tough as it can be at times in the harsh elements, that God made it capable of fitting into that ecosystem and performing some amazing feats of existence; and yes even once in a while becoming a “Miracle Mourning Dove!”

God’s Blessings!

A split second before the powerful wind came to bring the bird back up into wild sky!

“Do You Support the Pope or the Devil?”

my heartfelt desperate plea for his help and intercession on behalf of Jesus Christ here on earth;

“Pope Francis denounces violence against women hours after slapping woman’s hand away”

” Women are sources of life . Yet they are continually insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves and to suppress the life they bear in the womb,” the Pontiff told worshipers gathered at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Wednesday.

“Every form of violence inflicted upon a woman is a blasphemy against God, who was born of a woman.”

Pope Francis had been making his way to the Nativity scene in Vatican City on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve. When he began to walk away from the crowd that had gathered to greet him, video shows a woman grabbing his hand and yanking him toward her.

He became visibly upset, slapping the woman’s hand in an attempt to extricate himself. Footage of the altercation also appears to show him shouting at the woman.

Prior to the incident, the woman had made the sign of the cross. She addressed the 83-year-old Pope as she took his hand but it is unclear what she was trying to tell him.

During his New Year address on Wednesday, the Pontiff also spoke about gender equality, telling the congregation that women “should be fully included in decision-making processes.”

“Every step forward for women, is a step forward for humanity as a whole.”

I’ve stated plainly in previous writings that I have grave concerns about our current Pope in the Vatican.

I’ve explained how over the course of a few years my doubts about his integrity and being the Pope especially in light of Pope Benedict XVI having been pushed aside and not having died! But then too on a very personal level after my writing to him with a matter of extreme importance that was both relating to an evil that has befallen my community in my home State even the local town parish being jaded by this political beastly influence that I had witnessed and been attacked by firsthand suffering greatly for my calling it out for what it is, all of which from my eyes this evil has been both destructive to the environment and the human community like some Mafia Mob assault or World War II Nazis upon the “people and wildlife” both of which this Pope spoke to in no uncertain terms as needing to be protected in earnest since his being ordained Pope; had ignored a direct plea and letter I had sent to him at the Vatican without even an acknowledgement of my heartfelt desperate plea for his help and intercession on behalf of Jesus Christ here on earth; all to no avail.

Then all of the apparent debacle at the Vatican with his controversial introduction of pagan god idols the Pachamama into the sanctuary of the Vatican and a ritual performed for mother earth blaspheming God, as a direct violation of the first commandment. Mind you this idol a pagan symbol of a god which human children were sacrificed to in ancient times!

October 28, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – “A Brazilian bishop said that Pope Francis’ Oct. 4 ceremony in the Vatican gardens prior to the opening of the Amazon Synod, where people prostrated themselves before a wooden statue of a naked pregnant woman (Pachamama), constituted a “scandalous, demonic sacrilege.”

“Mother Earth should not be worshiped because everything, even the earth, is under the dominion of Jesus Christ. It is not possible that there are spirits with power equal or superior to Our Lord or of the Virgin Mary,” said Bishop Emeritus José Luis Azcona Hermoso of the Brazilian city of Marajó said in an Oct. 20 homily at the cathedral in the state of Pará.

To the applause of the congregation, the bishop added, nearly shouting: “Pachamama is not and never will be the Virgin Mary. To say that this statue represents the Virgin is a lie. She is not Our Lady of the Amazon because the only Lady of the Amazon is Mary of Nazareth. Let’s not create syncretistic mixtures. All of that is impossible: the Mother of God is the Queen of Heaven and earth.”

“The invocation of the statues before which even some religious bowed at the Vatican (and I won’t mention which congregation they belong) is an invocation of a mythical power, of Mother Earth, from which they ask blessings or make gestures of gratitude. These are scandalous demonic sacrileges, especially for the little ones who are not able to discern,” he added later in the homily.”

“The Spanish-born bishop said that a genuine illumination from the Holy Spirit, which “our dear Pope Francis has mentioned so often,” is required to understand the much-debated synod. “We should distinguish between what comes from Satan or from the human mind, from what is of the Holy Spirit. This discernment is fundamental in order to belong to the Church and even more so to evangelize.”

“A friend exorcist says that this idol (Pachamama) is actually the figure of the antichrist. It is a blasphemy and parody of Mary. Pachamama is pregnant but carries the antichrist to give birth to him in the Masonic church, to destroy the sacraments, which is to return to idolatry and superstition. So, this antichrist who is to give birth to a church with an ‘Amazonian face’ is an abomination, it is a contradiction to Church doctrine, which is the dynamic into which these idolaters want to enter into now.”∎ by Paul Simeon

Then his highly visible appearance and involvement in world politics at the UN forming a new body politically and involving himself and the Church directly in global manmade corrupted politics as we know the UN for years has been biased and corrupted on many levels full of SIN! For this Pope to be in union with a highly corrupt political body outside of the Church is a blasphemy! It is antichrist!

Now this Pope at the same time proclaiming that women like Mother Mary should be venerated as special and beautiful bearers of new life from their wombs and how so many women are abused and mistreated he physically becomes abusive and slaps a woman in the crowd St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican while making his way to the Nativity scene in Vatican City on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve, expressing outrage and hostility toward her then later recants saying he lost his cool is just another nail in the coffin of this FAKE Pope who I believe now beyond doubt has given us enough proof that he is not who he is professed to be but in actuality is a liar and counterfeit Pope on a mission from hell. He became visibly upset, slapping the woman’s hand in an attempt to extricate himself. Footage of the altercation also appears to show him shouting at the woman. Prior to the incident, the woman had made the “sign of the cross.” Perhaps this is the “sign or signal” we faithful need? Time to be ever vigilant and prepare ourselves for what is coming sooner rather than later!

What follows is a portion of the:

HOLY MASS ON THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GOD
53rd WORLD DAY OF PEACE

PAPAL MASS

HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS

Vatican Basilica
Wednesday, 1st January 2020

I hope this focus I direct you to now will be where we all continue to give respect and homage to the great value of our women as I do my own mother and how Jesus Christ did for his earthly mother Mary “Our Blessed Mother;” venerating them and protecting all that is good in them and comes from them because that is what God our Father in Heaven wants us to do, “His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Amen

“But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman” (Gal 4:4). Born of woman: Jesus came in this way. He did not appear in the world as an adult but, as the Gospel tells us, he was “conceived in the womb” (Lk 2;21). It was there that he made our humanity his own: day after day, month after month. In the womb of a woman, God and mankind are united, never to be separated again. Even now, in heaven, Jesus lives in the flesh that he took in his mother’s womb. In God, there is our human flesh!

On the first day of the year, we celebrate this nuptial union between God and mankind, inaugurated in the womb of a woman. In God, there will forever be our humanity and Mary will forever be the Mother of God. She is both woman and mother: this is what is essential. From her, a woman, salvation came forth and thus there is no salvation without a woman. In her, God was united to us, and if we want to unite ourselves to him, we must take the same path: through Mary, woman and mother. That is why we begin the year by celebrating Our Lady, the woman who wove the humanity of God. If we want to weave humanity into this our time, we need to start again from the woman.

Born of woman. The rebirth of humanity began from a woman. Women are sources of life. Yet they are continually insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves and to suppress the life they bear in the womb. Every form of violence inflicted upon a woman is a blasphemy against God, who was born of a woman. Humanity’s salvation came forth from the body of a woman: we can understand our degree of humanity by how we treat a woman’s body. How often are women’s bodies sacrificed on the profane altars of advertising, of profiteering, of pornography, exploited like a canvas to be used. Yet women’s bodies must be freed from consumerism; they must be respected and honoured. Theirs is the most noble flesh in the world, for it conceived and brought to light the love that has saved us! In our day, too, motherhood is demeaned, because the only growth that interests us is economic growth. There are mothers who risk difficult journeys desperately seeking to give a better future to the fruit of their womb, yet are deemed redundant by people with full stomachs but hearts empty of love.

Born of woman. The Bible tells us that woman come onto the scene at the height of creation, as a summation of the entire created world. For she holds within herself the very purpose of creation: the generation and safekeeping of life, communion with all things, care for all things. So it is with the Mother of God in today’s Gospel. The text tells us, “But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart” (v. 19). She kept all these things: joy at the birth of Jesus and sadness for the lack of hospitality shown in Bethlehem; the love of Joseph and the amazement of the shepherds; the promise and the uncertainty of the future. She took everything to heart, and in her heart, she put everything in its right place, even hardships and troubles. In her heart, she lovingly set all things in order and entrusted everything to God.

In the Gospel, Mary does this a second time: at the end of the hidden life of Jesus, we are told that “his mother kept all these things in her heart” (v. 51). This repetition makes us realize that “keeping in her heart” was not something nice that Our Lady did from time to time, but something habitual. Women typically take life to heart. Women show us that the meaning of life is not found in making things but in taking things to heart. Only those who see with the heart see things properly, because they know how to “look into” each person: to see a brother apart from his mistakes, a sister apart from her failings, hope amid difficulty. They see God in all persons and things.”

I would love to be wrong about this and if I am I ask that God please forgive me for my error in the name of Jesus Christ but too much has happened that we all are witness to and to me personally for this to be confusion or idiocy on my part!

God Bless All of You in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.

“Fight Back Like a Fire Breathing Dragon; I Will Not be Defeated”

I won’t be defeated by lies or nefarious weak devils, who want to destroy me, no, no, I will turn into a fire breathing dragon

Yes, someone sparked my imagination and I just had to let this out!!!! Part me, Part what the world did to me!!!

Life can be complicated or simple and usually we get some of both regardless of our disposition! I used to be called a procrastinator by my Dad but then I could just decide, that’s it I’m going to LA and toss my suit cases and tool boxes into my car trunk and in a few days I was in LA checking out the beaches and then UCLA! Then right from that I was in the WB Studios or Burbank Studios as well. As far as knowing more than I say; in my case it was a match I know a lot to be honest but I talk about stuff I know just as much as I think it, which means I’m almost none stop mouth piece built into my brain. I think I shoulda gone with the suggestion of “Radio DJ Talk Show Host” I got thrown at me a few times or the other was, laugh here; auctioneer! I do notice a lot too, but did miss a few very important signals a few times and “got burned big time,” so that is a big one to be sharp on!

That people hating how you show them up for how dumb ass they are did happen; or outright jealousy did get in my way but not as much as life did sometimes, so it’s all about rolling with the punches I would say now! You know; get up, brush yourself off, and get moving on to the next chapter, and just be better prepared next time!

I think the control issue isn’t so bad with me I really prefer to be congenial and kind but just being so sure of myself and what I will or won’t do can make me seem hard or controlling even. But, I’m good with admitting when I’m wrong and want to try hard to fix things always!

OH, I’ve had fire in me plenty of times, passion or ambition came and went but just like romance and infatuation did too! Life is like that, because people are fickle and unpredictable if you know what I mean; unless you get a steady as a rock almost saintly one, which is harder to find in the modern day fast paced me, me world! I know my grand’s and other old-timers would tell me stories about the simple times way back when and it does seem beautiful in many ways that there was way less pressure to prove shit for them back then, but they had more time to grow slowly in their work and family through genuine love and daily, sweat of the brow. Not this overly competitive trying to get more and do better than the next one asinine worldly BS!

Oh man; so I know about what someone’s lies can do and they did to me, then the truth was all that could set me free, from the pain and headache or heartache the liar can cause! This is the worst area of your piece here, the lies and backstabbing some rotten people do to another; and I mean life altering horror! Not quite Edgar Allen Poe, but, A Little House of Horrors, perhaps?

But, when the going is tough the tough get going, and that is my story, I won’t be defeated by lies or nefarious weak devils, who want to destroy me, no, no, I will turn into a fire breathing dragon, if I must; to push back to the edge of the earth if need be!

Ohhhh, this next one about doing it to myself I sure did and in more ways than one! Yea, and once you do that to yourself I learned it isn’t always easy to undo it to myself. Most of it was bad shit too, so I think doing that to yourself isn’t all it’s cracked up to being; at all!

Well, I’ll exit stage left here as I know I’m on a rant and if it keeps up you’ll really think I’m crazy if you don’t already! Ya catch my drift! CIAO! Or is it Meow!!!

Lawrence Morra

PS If I didn’t bore you completely and you have a bit of Tiger in you just continue another moment and read my comment below! I decided to not add this additional commentary to the body of the Blog, but to instead separate some this way to leave an option! Which life doesn’t always give to us; or are our options what we decide they are? Hey, at least I’m giving you one this way upfront! Fair enough wouldn’t you say!

Rabble-Rouse Minions of the Antichrist Movement

“wolves in sheep’s clothing”

Rabble-Rouse Minions of the Antichrist Movement (gangs of instigating slaves of the antichrist movement)

Last Christmas and now this past Christmas very deliberate challenges of the faith came to me online to dispel belief in our Lord Jesus Christ the Savior! These are antichrist individuals who are working in lockstep with the evil one who seeks to devour all the souls he can before his time arrives to be utterly destroyed or locked away in hell for eternity with all of his followers, by our Lord God Jesus Christ. Here I tell all of you what I had told him today this rabble-rouse instigator who like others instigates and seeks to confuse or ruin. The campaign against God’s plan and His children has stepped up exponentially and we need not look any further than our own Government’s seat of power in Washington where we have seen for the last few years the methodical and deliberate plots of the Democrat party led by the house speaker and her team to cover past deceptions and transgressions against our Republic and God Himself! These atrocities have gone nearly unabated but justice and judgment are coming swiftly to the worst among us. These “wolves in sheep’s clothing” are still defiant and seeking to bring down the House along with the entire country, regardless of how obvious and contrived their criminal antichrist actions appear now!

I start by introducing a portion of many text messages that came to me by this rabble-rouse attacker.

“Why is Jesus called “Son of Man”? The Greek philosopher Celsus relates in polemical work against the Christians preserved by the Christian theologian Origen that he had found it “written” that Jesus was the son of a Roman soldier named Pantera (Contra Celsum 1. 69). This text dates to the late 2nd century.
The Tanak supports this position of “Jesus” being the Son of a Roman Soldier, Pantera.”

“Lawrence of Morra, The Nation of Islam is an African American political and religious movement, founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States, by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad on July 4, 1930. Currently the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Mr Poo has a point and if he wears a hat no one will notice.”

“History is just that “HIS STORY” from the perception of their intellectual persuasion. And Naturally that perception cannot be other than prejudicial in nature and biased by presumption. So are you saying that the followers of Allah are actually followers of Alalu the First God of Earth who was defeated by Anu ??? Yahu… Alalu – Alahym – Elohim ??? HMMMM? Who knows the Truth of what IS is? We can only assume we know.”

OK let’s get you straight if that is at all possible as you and Mr. Poo must either hold hands or be members of the same insanity club!

I’ve dealt with people like both of you and some even worse as they don’t just talk antichrist they perform rituals and acts that blaspheme God Almighty! Your circular rants or arguments are an affront to Jesus Christ and His faithful so here I only try one more time to tell you to “cease and desist” from your madcap folly or being a joker in the deck! You in a sense are nearly as bad as the atheist who tells God to take a hike, only difference is you and poo run slipshod diversionary tactics against the faithful and those that are seeking genuine insight and help to get on the path. Those are the people I tend to give my time to but not you and especially not poo-head who is already dead spiritually and has one foot in hell as well! Beware time is running short for the world and especially for poo and you! Mockery of the Lord is one’s damnation in the making! Willful “Transgression” is an abomination.

I did make it very clear that no one can lay claim to what Jesus Christ was, did and is! He was the Messiah that was prophesied from the time of Abraham and to deny that historical fact and truth is to deny God. This was God’s plan not yours, mine or any other humans, the devil, nor fallen angels! There is only one truth not multiple truths or possibilities as you would have others believe; instead you pursue lies with half-truth and actual lies or deception! I see through all lies or liars, yes even the most counterfeit of them all who has challenged me for years the Devil! You have yielded to his temptations and lies for stature and recognition of self and false claims! You have taken it upon yourself to know more than the wisest among us to think you have some ultimate truth of the universe and you have actually diddlysquat! There is only one true God the Creator of all things or there isn’t, you are a believer or a non-believer and in your case to take some pieces that fit another concocted or diametrically opposed philosophy or other belief system in order to make your own system is all a sham and lies! I dare say that what you do is blasphemy and puts your soul in mortal danger of eternal damnation! You are better to take one side or the other, to say you confess that Jesus is whom he was said to be the MESSIAH, or he is not, but this lukewarm nonsense is a travesty and that is something God says in the “living words of the Scriptures,” that He would rather we take one side or the other but not to be lukewarm! Again, I say this one fundamental truth to you and anyone listening, no other human being on this earth ever did or could lay claim to what Jesus Christ did and who he said He was! It is historical fact not maybe or supposes! He was the “Sacrificial Lamb for all Mankind,” in order to take away all man’s sins and cleanse all who accept this GIFT in order that they will be worthy to be in “Gods perfect Holy presence in Heaven eternally!” No other way is available, Jesus said “I am the Way the Truth and the Life!” It was He who brought light where there was darkness! Therefore, I Lawrence his lowly servant on earth say, any other path leads to darkness! Heaven or Hell, the choice is your own to make! There will be no multiple planes of existence or alternate worlds, evolution, transmutation or traveling, there is this material world, and there is Heaven and Hell, which are the places where “souls” end up forever! Very simple and no mind bending gibberish that you speak of! For your own sake I hope and pray that you see God’s light quickly and turn completely to Him! He can and will forgive you of all transgressions as He will any other human being that accepts Him as the only truth, path and light leading to eternal life in His glorious kingdom; that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior! Amen.

Again, I must tell you, that you take bits from a massive whole of truth and try to manipulate it to suit your own egocentric cause and lie! When God comes as the one we will know as Jesus Christ the Son of Mankind it will be the final judgment of this entire material plane and He will be with the army of angels led by Him and Archangel Michael! Don’t try to profess you know enough about Scriptures and “the living word” when you reject it outright with your no books matter and “HisStory” mandate! You talk riddles and lies. Quit while you are ahead or wear a sign on your head, professing that you know more than Jesus Christ!

I know full well about Nation of Islam here in the USA, but my point from the get-goes was the Islam that Muhammad declared before his death after his last vision in 632 AD; was the foundational precept that all Muslim followers whether in the Middle East or here in the USA and elsewhere have built upon “those lies and false prophecy” since then that Muhammad started; and he was an antichrist! Case closed, nothing you or poo-head can say will matter against the Lords Truth! Amen.

Thanks be to God our Lord and Savior “Jesus Christ!”

“Your window of opportunity to make up your own mind to be Hot or Cold, not Lukewarm, is closing very quickly!”

The Miracle Mourning Dove

“we should instead be inspired by their symbol of hope, peace and the Holy Spirit”

Yesterday afternoon just as the sun was setting I was doing some typing when I thought I heard a sound just outside of the house but it was so faint and quick I continued on until I needed to get another bowl of my homemade chicken soup I had just made earlier. About a half hour later I was in the kitchen straightening up and saw that I needed to shut off a water drip I started at the bird bath out back in the morning because the temperature had gotten well above freezing so I wanted to provide the birds with that opportunity for the day after the recent snowstorm and icy conditions the previous day. I took care of that and turned to head back in through the garage when I saw a pane of glass was smashed out of the overhead garage door and immediately upon going over to see what had happened I saw shards of glass all over the floor and on the trunk lid of an old antique car I have on that side of the garage. Looking further even though it was just about dark now I saw a dove lying on the floor just below the rear of the car completely motionless with the broken glass all around it, and realizing what amount of force it took to propel through that window and birds being so delicate boned it was a forgone conclusion it was dead.

So I turned to go back into the house to get some duct tape to cover over that window area until I could buy a piece of glass at the hardware and repair it. I no sooner got out there again and began taking long lengths of tape, applying them like a sort of bandage over the opening when my foot almost stepped on the dead bird but in the nick of time I felt my foot that very split second coming down on something other than the flat concrete floor when simultaneously there was a sudden flurry of wings flapping and the thought to be dead bird was trying to flee from my foot and got over to the other side of the garage! I walked over to the dove and promptly spoke gently to it and scooped it up in my hands, and to my amazement the bird was alive and showed no signs of any major feathers missing but just some of its smaller downy ones had gotten torn away and surprisingly there were no bloody wounds either! More amazing its neck had not broken or one of its wings which should have snapped like a twig in the impact. Its eyes blinked as I spoke softly to it and said you hang on now you poor little baby, I’m going to bring you in the house and give you a place to rest and recuperate until tomorrow! I had rescued a pigeon in the area last year so I had bought a large Tupperware storage container and made air vent holes in it which was actually stored away in the garage, so I went over to the shelf and grabbed it with one hand while I kept the bird with my other hand close to my chest and started to head into the house. Once inside where it was well lit I could see the bird looked totally intact and so I placed some newspaper in the container for catching its droppings. I put the bird in closing the lid and setting the temporary home in a quiet area of the house.

This bird had really gone through an unbelievable ordeal most likely with a hawk in hot pursuit when its fight or flight instinct kicked in and it flew like a bat out of hell to get away in such a panic and as well as it being dimmer light out there so late in the day, while putting every bit of its energy into escaping the deadly hawk, it must have just turned the wrong way and slammed itself into that glass window pane going completely through it and onto the car in the garage which took a lot of force, enough in fact that in my estimation from my science knowledge of physics it should have at least broken its neck not to mention the multiple shards of glass all over the place, with a high probability that at least one of them should have ripped or gashed and even impaled the poor unfortunate bird! But, I have to say “miraculously” the little dove is looking like it has a good shot at beating all of the odds with my intervention. So, calling it a day I headed off to bed and hoped for the best saying a prayer for the “mourning dove;” wondering what “morning” would bring.

This morning after a quiet rest all night I checked in on our little fine feathered friend and it was completely alert and a bit feisty, so I gave it a tray with water and another with bird seeds that I keep around to feed the many birds that come to visit each day as long as I’m able to do it. All day the bird was calm in its protective little house I provided and I had checked in a few times again noticing how the dove was walking a little and ate some seed. The condition of the bird was amazing to say the least and it did seem to be fully functional as it occasionally was flapping its wings! So as the afternoon progressed and the daylight was fading fast I decided to chance a trial with the dove to see if it was in a big hurry to get back to its normal life, so we headed outside. I placed our fine feathered friend down on the ground and it hesitated a few seconds but then started flapping its wings again as it did earlier in its temporary home. This time it got airborne and flew about thirty feet down range but only a couple of feet off the ground, so it just didn’t have the power or strength to fly high into the sky at this point and the risk paid off because now we know the dove can fly but will need some serious recuperation and time to overcome its most likely sore and bruised body or muscles; but the prognosis is good.

Meanwhile here is some very interesting background information about these special little birds. I know this bird came to me for a reason!

An Examination of Mourning Dove Symbolism

Literature Study Guides and Chapter Summaries / By Kristina Dems / Homework Help & Study Guides
What Are Mourning Doves?

Mourning Dove

“By virtue of their melancholy call, mourning doves have been fittingly named. The mourning dove call is a distinctive “wooo-oo-oo-oo” sound which may evoke a feeling of grief over the loss of a dearly beloved. But far from representing death, mourning dove symbolism can give us optimism with its spirituality. Beyond their sorrowful song is a message of life, hope, renewal and peace.

This beautiful bird (Zenaidura macroura) is the most common species of dove found in North America. Because they are plentiful, they are considered the most popular game bird – hunted both for meat and sport.

A dove is in fact a small pigeon. There is no technical difference between a dove and a pigeon save that doves are depicted to have pointed tails and move in a more graceful manner. Grayish-brown in color, Mourning Doves drink water by sucking – a remarkable accomplishment for birds.

Another remarkable feature is their monogamous nature. Mates typically stick together for the long run and become very devoted parents.
3 Key Representations

Among all the birds, the mourning dove is among the most celebrated bird – gracing sacred scripture (The Holy Bible under the Christian Faith) and appearing as a recurring icon in our lives. What does this bird symbolize? Below are the traditional and primary concepts it epitomizes:

A symbol of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, one of the figures of the Holy Trinity (The Christian Doctrine advancing the belief that God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Spirit) is depicted as a dove in the baptism of Jesus. According to the Bible, when Jesus emerged from the water, a dove from heaven descended upon him. Baptism is a Christian Sacrament of spiritual rebirth by which we are “cleansed” of our “original sin,” and the Holy Spirit places us in permanent union in Christ, and makes us a formal member of the Christian Community.

A symbol of Hope

In the Noah’s Ark story, God decided to create a big flood to wipe out all the people on earth, except for Noah and his family. After forty days and forty nights, Noah released a raven to look for dry land. When the raven returned without success, a dove was then released. The dove, thereafter, flew back triumphantly with an olive leaf. Noah was pleased. It brought reassurance that trees were growing on dry land – a certain sign of life! The dove stood, therefore for new beginnings, great expectations and deliverance.

A symbol of Peace

Although it is a white dove that typically represents peace and safety, mourning doves may also represent the same. The states of Wisconsin and Michigan regard the mourning dove as their official state symbol of peace. Pablo Picasso, the famous Spanish artist, when commissioned to design the logo for the World Peace Congress in 1949, drew a dove entitled “Dove of Peace-Blue.” It is because of their simple and maternal nature that doves have become a symbol of solidarity and concord among nations.

Thus, when looking at mourning dove symbolism, we can see that instead of recognizing them for their melancholy call, we should instead be inspired by their symbol of hope, peace and the Holy Spirit.”

“A Touch of Evil” that Will Not Dishearten God’s Elect!”

through genuine humble faith on bent knee from the heart even if no larger than a mustard seed

The Faces of Evil

We are seeing very prominent faces stand out this “Christmas Holiday Season” that are far removed from the “Spirit of Christmas,” and are in fact unholy being influenced by the forces of darkness right here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, America! This One Nation under God has been polluted and corrupted deep within its earthly seat of power by some of the most maligned human beings on earth whose lust for power and control was an attempt to gain absolute power which in turn became “absolute power corrupting absolutely;” and it did in fact blind them to the plain truth of how their quest and drunkenness has delivered them unto the beast and not their Almighty God. For them it started with “a touch of evil” that grew inside of them until its own thirst for another soul grew even stronger within taking over their will or ability to recognize the “simple plain truth!”

One of these key political figures clamored to the world this week “I’m a Catholic,” just like another one of them has said on many occasions how he is a Catholic too, and he is a presidential candidate now; but one thing is for sure, neither of those two is a Catholic and they are indeed fake ones. There are so many fake ones around these days and in fact there are too many “nonbelievers or complete antichrists” among us, even those who use Christianity as a tool or front for vain ulterior purposes, wolves in sheep clothing if you will; some of us may even know them personally!

Yes you and I know who I speak about and we witness this abomination by the Greatest Nation on earth, but we must all pray and look beyond all of this wickedness that is trying to overshadow our Great Nation under God and not allow us to clearly remember who this holiday is about; “the one true power, honor and glory which it is about, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” who will have the final say in everything in all of existence!

All I can say is, all of you faithful please keep praying to our Heavenly Father who is holding back from pouring out His wrath, but make no mistake about it the truth is upon us, we have enough proof my faithful friends; the winds of truth and justice are coming for them and all the other deceivers!

Stay in communion with the Holy Spirit by remaining faithfully vigilant in humble prayer and supplication for Him our Savior Jesus Christ, who loves us more than we can actually fully know and experience being outside of His glorious eternal kingdom; yet He made Himself one of us born of the virgin Mary His earthly mother, to prove without a doubt that we are here for one reason; which is that, through genuine humble faith on bent knee from the heart even if no larger than a mustard seed, that faith is the only other ingredient needed in our Father’s equation and plan for any of us to be united with Him in heaven for eternity.

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20

So He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.” Luke 13:18-19

A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All of You!

Lawrence Morra

Just as in Classic Film Noir a touch of evil is all it takes to corrupt a soul enough to bring ruin to a heart!

But, diametrically in opposition to that it only takes the faith the size of a mustard seed to overcome all evil and death! Faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the King!

Always Walking With Jesus Christ

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Monday November 4th began writing about what occurred on Sunday November 3rd

Yesterday’s journey began when I awoke from a peaceful sleep suddenly thinking how it was the day to set the clock back one hour to daylight savings time and I could wait or get up no matter what time it was and get it done. I chose to get up and immediately saw that it was 3:33 AM which of course meant it was according to man-made convention now 2:33 AM. But, the most profound message to come later was already materializing and the time was a cue. Just the evening before in a written communication with a dear friend in a faraway country who had mentioned acquiring knowledge through some new studies that to me might be too New Age pseudoscience not giving deference to Christianity. So I went on to inquire and discuss my concern in a lengthy letter.

My friends interest in what some might consider pseudoscience got me interested in knowing just what some are studying in this topic and I have to say my first instinctual as well as life experience based thought was it’s something occult! I know how some people these days go off the rails with the occult and “new age religion” craze or even pagan beliefs, I’ve even seen how some who profess to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior whether Catholic, Protestant, Baptist or any other Christian sect went from practicing that faith to being a pagan in 3 simple steps basically! Some may know I speak my mind and I’ve experienced or learned enough by now to at least know what the basic gig is all about for us humans who are children of God’s, regarding our purpose for being here. But, my old school standard belief system which many esoteric or highfalutin modernists find boring and stupid is something I’m absolutely sure is the TRUTH. The simple basic fundamental is that this is a battle between good and evil and a war for souls which have free-will. Choice is involved and overtime each soul is given full opportunity to be in the light ultimately or dwell in darkness and evil for eternity! God is the only being that “Created” anything and all of this and beyond our capabilities to perceive further is the creation of the all-knowing, all loving omnipotent God. I did study other man-made religions over decades and Hindus, Buddhists and especially Muslims of Nation of Islam follow concocted by man systems of belief; but nobody can lay claim to what Jesus Christ said and did, He is God and His plan of Salvation through the New and Everlasting Covenant with humanity is the only one to eternal Life. Nothing else even comes close to having that absolute truth and power that God performed on the cross to take away our sins and imperfection in order to allow us our own Free Will, but to become Absolute and Holy in order to be with Him.

I have seen how some belief systems either through design or even malicious intent are constructed to lead people away from God and to falsehood I’m sorry to say. In some cases these can be pathways to diabolical forces that are quite evil in purpose and intent.

I’m confident that you are of course aware of the controversy involved and in this quote, it is only a scratching of the surface of the reason why these practices will not be on solid ground with many others that see as I do the fundamental flaws inherent in them; and more importantly especially to God, as this one Scriptural quote spells it out pointblank for those with faith.

I’m already positive about the truth of why I was born and where I’m going when I die here on earth, which could be at any moment as our lives are fragile and inevitably we all die one way or another; but the same basic truth remains for me, which is that Jesus Christ is who He said He was and is; that “He alone is the way the path (absolute truth) and the life and none come to the Father but by the Son!” John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

I told my friend who was studying a variety of schools of thought in dealing with the mind and spirituality, how I already knew about hypnotherapy having used it, or a form of it referred to as “relaxation technique” when learning to fly aircraft decades ago to remove undue stress or fears and prepare for lessons, especially solo ones.

But, I suggested caution to my friend when she said some disciplines can touch on the subject of how Jesus Christ communicated with His heavenly Father in terms of science which prompted me to say Jesus our Lord was God in human flesh and spirit form but that part of the “Holy Trinity” that was physically here on earth while His Father was in heaven and the go between is the Holy Spirit of God which we can talk to as referred to in the Book of John and other Holy Scriptures, as the Comforter when we pray to Jesus Christ that is who He sends to us is God’s Holy Spirit. Trying to explain this with other philosophies, or science, which is also a form of philosophy to define and explain the tangible or material world, is a fool’s errand because the WORD of God, Holy Scripture, is the only device or means we have of discussion or modality from which to draw any insight aside from or through our prayer. I went on to say can you point out to me some specific Holy Scriptures that indicate precisely what some people are referring to in man-made templates about communing with God they are referencing in such studies about how God and Jesus communicated while He was on earth in the flesh, and even why He would want us to try figuring out such a thing, which for all intent and purposes would be impossible? And, especially if He didn’t instruct us on the matter and declare that we must! I can surmise that there are those that think they are or can be as smart as God which we know was something that the fallen ones did in the pre-earth age, and still many do try that now, or those who think themselves gods in a sense. We at our best are His humble little servants who follow only His will; nothing or no one else’s, only He knows what is best for us as only He knows all things! There is the extreme danger for anyone fooling around with man-made concocted theories and the opening of a Pandora’s Box, or portal to things not of God and actually contrary to believing in Him or trusting Him alone. A plain illustration is Voodoo in its pagan form or even Voodoo Junk Science.

Further in Scripture Jesus Christ told us that none come to the Father but through the Son and when we pray to Him that He sends us the Comforter which is His Holy Spirit; and why should we think there is anything more to it than that?

Previously I also mentioned the Holy Trinity to my friend in that letter and just hours later a very profound thing occurred when out for my early morning walk with my dog that I think it connects the dots precisely.

I’ll also say my friends reply to my letter contained three angel symbols at the end of the letter prior to my bringing any of this up as well, because what I’m about to explain hadn’t even happened yet. Very nice how dots get connected how they should without even trying! 🙏 😇😇😇

So, after setting all older analog clocks back one hour I decided to stay up and do some writing. A few hours passed quickly and the sun was rising when I realized it would be good to take my dog for her morning walk a bit earlier than usual while its very peaceful and quiet. We left the house and I felt the cooler brisk morning air of fall that now replaced those stuffy humid summer mornings of just several weeks ago. We walked on about a mile to a cove and followed along its shore until we reached an area we sometimes sit quietly taking in all of the natural and man-made activity. It was all so beautiful with a vivid actual piecing dreamy reality. After sitting for about 10 minutes I asked my dog who had been lying next to me if she wanted to do more walking, she immediately got up and showed she was ready to press on! As we did walk ahead we approached a large hill which has a road leading up away from the shoreline. As we got to the top of this road we could proceed in one of three directions; go straight on or take a hard left or take a hard right! We had taken any of the three paths on many previous occasions but when I said to my dog do you want to take the big walk she immediately went right which is the longer path to take and we hadn’t done that for a while. As we walked on not even a minute my attention was drawn to two cars parked in a driveway on our immediate right and saw that one had a plate with the two letters and then three numerals which in this case were 333. I realized that was very fitting and we went on to the next juncture when my dog didn’t hesitate and led me down a walking path and off of the road, again down to the shore and standing in their majesty were some cedar trees close to the end of the path next to the ocean. It happens to be a location noted for its history of cedar trees by the ocean, as well it’s a great spot to sit and meditate or pray. Some interesting tie-in here is that back during the 18th century the Maronite Christians used a white flag with the cedar tree, with reference to the Bible (Psalms 92:12, “the righteous flourish like the palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon”). “It symbolizes immortality and steadiness.”

“Throughout the Bible, up to the last chapter of Revelation, trees are seen as important to mankind. Many varieties of trees are cited in the Bible. The cedar became even a temple in Scriptures.”

“Cedar trees are mentioned in the Bible and by classical writers who were enthralled by the tree’s size and majesty. The branches of the cedar tree are wide and grow almost parallel to the ground, making the tree appear to be constructed of successively higher floors made of greenery.” (Garden Guides)

So as my dog and I sat there, again looking out over the open water as we did earlier on our trek, suddenly coming up on the right out from around some old dock pylons out in the water that had been obscuring our view was this big beautiful pure white swan and as if that wasn’t enough to my surprise two more swans came around following closely behind the first! Seeing those three beautiful white swans was breathtaking, again with a piecing dreamy reality!

We took all of this joyous beauty in then proceeded with our walk back home while along the way I contemplated the connections God had just revealed of my being aware of all these 3’s coming up and the direct symbolism and meaning contained in all of these factors of the communication with my friend; and then the events of the morning revolving around the Holy Trinity and how we do communicate with God through His Holy Spirit just like Jesus Christ said to us in the Holy Scriptures. These guideposts during the walk are evidence that God was with us every step of the way and has spoken to us in this mystical but real way to make it clear we are on the right track or path to His Kingdom! We should never doubt for a second that He is who He said He was when He died on the cross for us and that He wants all of us to be saved to everlasting Life with Him in Heaven. Having faith in Him is what it’s going to take for each of us and then He alone will take care of everything!

Swan Meaning, and Messages

“In this case, swan symbolism heralds the development of our intuitive abilities and altered states of awareness. In other words, we are going to be shown new ways of thinking, breathing and going with the flow of life.

Like the giraffe, swan meaning also asks you to accept your ability to know what lies ahead. Therefore you should follow hunches and pay attention to your instincts. While doing this, you must also not forget to honor your feminine intuitive side.

Alternatively, swan symbolism is reminding you of your inner grace and beauty. This poise is something that you must allow to shine forth for others to see.”

“Know that you have the social skills, grace, style and poise to accomplish anything you choose!” -Swan

The Swan Metaphor

“The swan that gracefully moves on a lake is a picture of elegance in motion but what is hidden from the eye is the activity going on beneath the water’s surface. We don’t see the hard work conducted by the swan’s webbed feet which propels the graceful motion we see and admire.

The swan’s movement is an ideal metaphor for expertise and excellence. We admire the very best in their fields because they are able to make the sublime look easy. They are like white swans. They do all the hard work in the shadows and display excellence and elegance in the open. It is common consensus that genius makes the hard look ridiculously easy, thus giving the impression that it is effortless”.

“Albert Einstein once said that “the secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”

The Holy Trinity

“For there are Three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these Three are Beliefs and Believers-Trinity the Christian doctrine defines God as three divine persons: The Father, The Son (Jesus) and The Holy Spirit.”

Update: Today Sunday November 10^th I took the same walk at the same time with my dog and the weather was practically identical, quite quiet and serene at the water’s edge; but along the way the car with the 3’s on the plate not there and the swans were nowhere to be seen anywhere in the entire bay area within view!
