From miguel de Portugal

We are sure that by now most of you have already heard that a former Vatican Ambassador to the US - Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò -  has revealed (1) that Francis has known for some time about Cardinal McCarrick activities regarding the sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church - long before he was forced to act.

That was followed by a masterful declaration by Francis to the press on his flight back to Rome (from Ireland) (2):

“I won't say a word about it,” .... Neither confirming nor denying the validity of the claims against him, the pope noted it was a matter of trust and faith, and that the document “speaks for itself,” urging everyone to read it and to decide for themselves.

Why is it masterful? Because Francis knows very well how the disoriented Roman Catholic sheep are and that they will conclude that the eleven page statment of Archsbishop Carlo Maria Viganò (3) is some sort of lie to discredit the "saintly", "all loving" and "all forgiving" "Pope" Francis.

We have not said much about it because it would be as if talking about how wet the water is - we are basically tired of it. However, God did decide to comment on it throught today's Mass Gospel - Matthew 23:23-26:

Jesus said: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup,
so that the outside also may be clean."


Obviously we do not have to call Daniel to interpret the above. All we want is for our readers to remember all of this so that when the Mystical Body of Christ - the Church - is crucified and most Roman Catholics fall for the False Christ, it will not be because God forgot them as they have forgotten Him for 1,600 years. It will happen as the logical result of 1,600 years of institutional abuse and it will be guided by God so that the Elect is not be deceived.

Regarding sharing.... your posts with Facebook friends....

We see people placing links to our pages in Facebook since we get reports regarding where was the link location that may have referred someone to us.

What we suggest is that - generally speaking - you could use the links to Divine Encouragement
 and For Your Information and Reference. As we issue new posts they are renewed every other day.

You can add your personal comments to its contents when you refer to them. For example:

Using the Divine Encouragement of last Friday as an example. You can post something like:
"Today's post of Divine Encouragement  reminded me how much I offend God when I do not trust Him enough."
Using the For Your Information and Reference published on August 25th as another example, you can post something like:
"The latest For Your Information and Reference reminded me how the faith can subconsciously diminished if we are unaware of those inconsistencies between words and deeds."
Although we are not familiar at all with Facebook it seems that the above technique could allow a recommendation to what we have published with your own added personal commentary.


From miguel de Portugal

We have just learned that we will have another close encounter with an asteroid on August 29th - the day when we observe the martyrdom of John the Baptist.

An asteroid listed as “potentially hazardous” by NASA and estimated to be about the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza is hurtling toward Earth at 20,000 mph - but don’t cancel your end-of-August plans just yet. The giant space rock measures between 230ft and 525ft in diameter and is expected to make a “close approach” to Earth on August 29.

"This object is merely designated a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) because its orbit over time wings it within five million miles of Earth’s orbit, but there is nothing hazardous to Earth or even unique about this pass of the asteroid,” Lindley Johnson, a planetary defense officer at NASA headquarters in Washington said. (1)

Comment: If I were God and I had in my agenda an asteroid striking the Earth as part of the Apocalypse, I would certainly consider using this one considering the symbolism of the date.

It is interesting to note.... that some very notable Biblical figures from the Old Testament grossly violated Divine Law. We should never take as from God what their words or actions may say if they are in violation of Divine Law. There are no exceptions to this!

It is most interesting to note, however, that such deviations and betrayals by God's Elect - a sample of which may be viewed through the above link - cannot be found in the Acts of the Apostles and beyond texts of the New Testament. The absence of such aberrant behavior speak very, very highly of all of the men and women who launched Christianity as Jesus had requested of them.

From miguel de Portugal


The Gospel of today's Mass - Matthew 23:1-12 - is the perfect example of the perfect subconscious faith killer. We have covered this problem before but not with as many examples in just one brief Gospel reading. Let us review it. [our underscoring and our comments in small lettering]

Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying:

"The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
but do not follow their example.

For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.

All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. (enhancing their elegant garments)

They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.' (they love to be honored and recognized by the "commoners")

As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Christ.

The greatest among you must be your servant. (because they love to be served by those "beneath" them) Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

The moment Constantine bought the Church on behalf of Mammon, what you read above started to take place in Christianity and has continued with a vengeance until today in both churches - West (Roman Catholic) and East (Orthodox) alike.

What the subconscious of the faithful is storing in our "operating system" is: Do not believe what Jesus says because if they - who claim to represent Jesus Christ - ignore it, what He says cannot be true.

This is basic Psychology 101!

Now, do you better understand why the world is in the state it is today and why God has no other choice but to dramatically intervene?

Do you now also better understand that the state of denial is now endemic to most?

We must continue to proclaim by word and deed that the Catholic Faith is the most comprehensive and powerful Faith available to man in spite of the Temple Masters of today.

We challenge "Facebookers" to proclaim that from their Facebook Page as Mrs. LM is beginning to do.

Do not be afraid of what people may think of you. Be more concerned about what Jesus Christ will think of you when you stand before His Throne of Judgment.

Didn't He say...

But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more. [Luke 12:48]

...and we can vouch for that with such certainty that would cause a block of granite crumble.


Whenever anyone mentions.... serious weather alteration by man, eyes start rolling back into the head, one is accused of being a conspiracy theorist and a 'certified rumor' monger, etc. etc.

Then one reads news like this:

Volkswagen accused of ruining Mexican crops with weather-altering 'hail cannons' (1)
[our underscoring]

August 23, 2018


 Local groups have accused the German automaker of causing a dry spell with hail cannons that shoot sonic booms into the air to prevent the formation of hail. The devices are used to protect cars parked outside the factory from dents caused by hailstones.

Following the complaints, Volkswagen has promised to reduce its use of the cannons at its Puebla factory.

Comments: (sarcasm on) ...another conspiracy theory just as the one that claims that many earthquakes are being caused by man.... and just as the 'so called' sexual abuse scandal is the Roman Catholic Church is 'just a drop in the bucket'. (sarcasm off)

Take a close look at that 'drop' in that 'bucket' - but do so on an empty stomach!

Which brings us back to the opening post....

From Mrs. LM @ US


I have recommended you to my Facebook friends.

Before this move, I have recommended your site to personal friends and close acquaintances, but never to those on my Facebook. I have given several of your documents to others.  I have e-mailed documents to others. I speak of you, in reference to your site and will call you a "friend in the Lord whom I trust," when speaking of a particular document that I may have read.  But, stepping out on Facebook was a big one for me.

There are people on my Facebook page who are really just acquaintances, former students, people I have not seen in 10 or more years who don't really know me and what I know and believe now. These are some of the people who would probably look at me strangely, as I said before.  So, the Lord must be working in me, because that was a big step for me.

I was finding that some of my Catholic friends were having a hard time with the announcement about the priests in PA.  I wanted them to have something to be encouraged by, as they move forward.

I am sure a lot of them will be questioned by co-workers, etc., about still being members of the church.

I used your document "How satan is preparing the disoriented faithful for when he successfully pounces on them."  In it you note two scriptures, Luke 12: 1-5 and Acts 5:29.  I thought they were just right for what the Spirit was leading me to say.

Sometimes I wish I could put the Divine Encouragement on Facebook, but I was not sure if you or God wanted them published like that. But I would, if it were appropriate.

Thank you for your teaching ministry!

Peace and Blessings

LM

A.
May God Be Praised by your deeds!

Thank you for those words of consolation and encouragement as well as the ideas and examples for others on our List.

If all of those on our List would do what you are doing, the real Good News would be spread even further than they have already.

What God is trying to do in 20 years through miguel de Portugal - and all of you -  is what should have been done during the past 1600 years by the alleged Evangelizers; not to mention the undoing of the many errors which have driven the children of God away from the most spiritually powerful Faith available to mankind.

Regarding the Divine Encouragement posts in your Facebook - by all means do so! However, replace them every time, do not let them accumulate on-line so that the readers focus on what God want them to focus on that day.


The world should be... getting ready for a few key moves in the four dimensional chess game of the End of These Times.

Yesterday we read that:

(a) A dark day for Trump. The darkest day for the presidency since Watergate. (1)

There hasn't been a darker moment for a president or for the presidency since Richard Nixon resigned on the verge of impeachment in 1974.

On Tuesday, Michael Cohen, the president's longtime fixer and former personal lawyer, pleaded guilty to felony crimes that included illegally paying women hush money to help Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. Most important, he said he did so at Trump's direction.; and

(b) Michael Cohen is willing to share 'all that he knows' with Mueller. (2)

Michael Cohen is prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller everything he knows about Russia's interference and hacking during in the 2016 election, his lawyer Lanny Davis said.

Davis told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night that Cohen "has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest” to Mueller’s team, which is investigating Russian interference. On Wednesday morning, Davis told "Today" that Cohen is not holding out for a pardon from the president — and would not accept it. "He considers a pardon from someone who acted so corruptly as president to be something he would never accept," Davis added.

As we have said many times - because it is the absolute truth - Mr. Trump was placed in the White House to stop the Globalization effort and prevent the loss of even the Elect. Of course, Mr. Trump does not know that but, rest assured that, whatever he does - right or wrong (which would be allowed by God) - will achieve the Will of God.

As in a chess game, the Globalizers make a move to proceed with their plans and then, based on that move, God will move whomever He deems appropriate to make a counter move. Of course, the first on the list to make the counter move He deems appropriate would be Mr. Trump.

You are truly privileged to be on a front row seat and have the program in hand for the events at the very End of These Times. It will help you understand what will be incomprehensible to most - the "Where was God?" crowd.

From miguel de Portugal

The following is the conclusion of an e-mail exchange with a long time reader of The M+G+R Foundation, thus, someone who should know very well where we stand on just about every subject matter.

In response to a nine page offensive tirade that we received from the above mentioned reader we responded:

We want to make sure that you received the e-mail where we wrote "The root of our question if a bank note was enclosed with the mailing is that:

Once in a while my daughter will lightheartedly place, say, a $5 bill inside a card or note that she mails to me with a lighthearted note of "coffee money".  The last one did not make it...  "

The purpose of our question was strictly to determine if correspondence with a $ bill(s) are now being opened, the bill(s) taken and the rest discarded. Were that the case - we will never receive the valuable personal information that you sent, just as we have never received the last mailing my daughter sent with "coffee money".       

On the other hand, if no currency note was included there is then hope that somehow, sometime your valuable personal information mailing will reach our hands. We want to make sure that you understood our comment in case you want to edit and send again your letter.


The relationship that The M+G+R Foundation had with the above mentioned reader could easily justify a humorous note  attached to a $5 bill reading something like: "Money for coffee to keep you awake while reading all of this material."

Unfortunately the reader does not know us as well as we thought regardless of much correspondence and publications from us has been read. The reader assumed that what miguel de Portugal was really concerned was if any money came included with her precious papers and not whether they had been lost or not. This was confirmed by the response we received from the reader:
[our highlights]

Yes, I did receive it and read the quoted e-mail in its entirety.

It makes so much sense what you just now pointed out to me. 
I never thought to consider there could be such a simple reason as to why you asked me such a question about the money in the first place. 

My deepest apologies for having misinterpreted your true meaning and for having questioned your motive.  As I reread my words to you in light of your full explanation, I realize my words are harsh, and I am truly sorry for having offended you...


The real concern is that in spite of having been with us for years, this reader does not know what we stand for, our priorities and Whom miguel de Portugal is a "gofer" for. Anyone who knows us would never have assumed such motive for our inquiry.

Given that typographical errors can be made and words can  be omitted or added by mistake - whenever a reader reads something that is not coherent with our position, we should be contacted at once so that we can clarify or correct the wording of a publication and/or letter instead of doing what this reader did.

In case there are some who still do not know us, let us publicly spell out the response to the last e-mail from said reader:

 Of course, apologies accepted and the nine page e-mail has been deleted. We consider this case closed. No additional correspondence related to it will be entertained.


Yesterday's Gospel.... [Matthew 19:16-22] is was what God used to bring some consolation to miguel de Portugal after the above mentioned nine page tirade.

A young man approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" He answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself."

The young man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.


Through His Grace, when He told miguel "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." miguel did. That is how unimportant material goods became to miguel.

No; I am not "blowing my horn" - I do not need to. They Only One Who really matters knows me better than I know myself. We just want to make sure that the above experience does not repeat itself with someone else since it does have some negative consequences.


From miguel de Portugal

Blessedly, yesterday must have been Heaven's "Let's console miguel day" because the first Mass reading - from Ezekiel 24:15-23 - gave me the confirmation of a very strange - by human standards - feeling that I have as we approach the conclusion of the End of These Times.

The word of the LORD came to me (Ezekiel):

Son of man, by a sudden blow I am taking away from you the delight of your eyes, but do not mourn or weep or shed any tears. Groan in silence, make no lament for the dead, bind on your turban, put your sandals on your feet, do not cover your beard, and do not eat the customary bread.

and then....

Thus says the Lord GOD (to those around Ezekiel):

I will now desecrate my sanctuary, the stronghold of your pride, the delight of your eyes, the desire of your soul. The sons and daughters you left behind shall fall by the sword.

Ezekiel shall be a sign for you: all that he did you shall do when it happens. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD. You shall do as I have done, not covering your beards nor eating the customary bread. Your turbans shall remain on your heads, your sandals on your feet. You shall not mourn or weep...,. and groan one to another.


Many a time I have said - because I feel it - that I will not shed a tear as the entire world crumbles and most of the population is decimated. Now God confirms it through Ezekiel.  It is indeed a strange feeling but the consolation comes from the reality that unless God allows that, even the Elect would be lost as we have been warned through Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22.

... but wait! He did not stop there...

Today's Gospel.... Matthew 19:23-30 concludes as follows:

And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.

But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.


Of course, the real question is how many really believe in those words even when I, miguel de Portugal, assure one and all that those words are absolutely true.


August 18th

From (Mr.) IW @ USA


Peace and blessings upon you and your son.

I really enjoy the graces God pours out upon me and those of us that take to heart the pearls that God grants us through you!!

If you find the time... Could you fill in any details on the greater levels of Heaven we can achieve before crossing the veil. After said crossing, does God provide us opportunities to go up in levels while spending Eternity with Him?

In my thinking, being in Heaven with God and in perfect happiness, I would always strive to be closer to Him, if that were possible. But also, know how much much more I could, should have done before reaching Paradise.

Peace,

IW

A.
Thank you for your kind and consoling words of encouragement.

Now, about "the levels"... First of all allow us to clarify our position regarding that information:

This information falls in the category of "I believe" as oppose to "I know" as we use other times.

I believe that those levels in Heaven are predetermined by what we do before crossing the veil. If we resort to the technique we use to better understand God, that is, taking a good human inclination and taking it to infinity, then, the more merits we gain before crossing the veil the higher the level would, thus, the closer to God one is and, perhaps, the greater the power of intercession that soul may have before the Throne of God.

A very human example: If you are, say, a Senator and have one or two outstanding assistants - moral, honest, efficient, expert on the necessary fields of their work, and served you well in the Senate - and you are elected President of the U.S., you will take them with you to the White House.

With that said: Our recommendation is not to focus on trying to be closer to God in Heaven but on serving Him on Earth as He Wills that you do.

A very personal example: All through my school years I studied because I wanted to learn and not with the purpose of getting higher grades. The results were: (a) I learned far more than those around me and, as a consequence; (b) I also got very good grades.

There are individuals who have the gift of memory and study the night before the exam and get an excellent grade in the exam, yet, a few days later they have forgotten most of what they "temporarily" learned just to get good grades.

Now, regarding "After said crossing, does God provide us opportunities to go up in levels while spending Eternity with Him?"..... the only parallel that we can draw from is that.... While in purgatory we can pray for the benefit of others but we cannot pray for our own benefit. So, in this case I suspect that the same applies while in Heaven.... and "to suspect" is not the same as "to believe" and neither are the same as "to know".

I pray to God that we shed some light on this issue; however, if anyone still has any questions about what we tried to explain, by all means, do ask!


Did you know that.... Vatican Secretary of State attended the elite Bilderberg meeting? (1)

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State, will take part in the Bilderberg Conference, an annual private gathering of global political, business and media leaders, taking place this year in Turin, Italy, June 7-10.

Furthermore, from the same source we also learn that Parolin took part in the World Economic Forum in Davos, and there he delivered a speech in which he listed the aims of pontifical diplomacy.

We now have concrete - yet not surprising - confirmation that Opus Dei is in both groups.
__________
(1)Source  as of June 7, 2018


While on the subject of Opus Dei...

Did you know that.... the soon to be canonized Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, who was martyred as he was celebrating Mass was a core Opus Dei man? (1)

The Salvadoran prelate is conventionally seen as a champion of Liberation Theology, which was partially condemned by the Vatican in the 1980s for its tendency to mix Marxist social analysis and concepts such as “class struggle” with religious commitments.

and

Among the lesser-known facts of Romero was his close relationship with the personal prelature Opus Dei, though for decades they remained quiet about the connection.

For almost 15 years Romero had a spiritual director/confessor from Opus Dei – first Father Juan Aznar and later Father Fernando Saenz, who would replace Romero as Archbishop of San Salvador after his death.

Romero went to the beach with a group of Opus Dei friends on the morning of the day he was killed; and in 1975, after the death of its founder, Josemaría Escrivá, Oscar Romero sent a letter to Paul VI asking the pope to jump-start his canonization process.

Once again, we see the Opus Dei covering all the bases as we read in de la Cierva's review of the Opus Dei:
[DD] It is a fact that, after 1950, Opus Dei university branches in certain occasions committed notable injustices; at times in iniquitous alliances with Marxist professors and against Catholic professors. (2)
and

[TT] By virtue of that same rejection, the key rightist group of the province of Navarra, made up by many Opus Dei members have entered into certain alliances to form the government of Navarra... with socialists and communists extreme defenders of abortion... ....(Catholic political figures) have every right to establish political coalitions.... except with those who will influence the government with their atheistic and anti-life ideas. For such alliances a Catholic does not have freedom unless the other group renounces their philosophies.... ....I hope no one denies my statements because then I will be forced to provide dates and names associated with such activities. (2)

...and mind you - de la Cierva was a friend of Opus Dei to the point of stating in his book:

[GGG] So that my [de la Cierva's] evaluation be better understood I will summarize it as follows: Opus Dei was invented, and invented well; however, if it did not exist, it would have to be invented with great urgency. Many things, especially within the Church, depend on it. (2)

Whatever works for their overall agenda, works for them - it does not matter who they have to pact with

From (Mrs.) IW @ USA


May God’s love envelope and hold you close!  On August 14th you wrote the following concerning doing His will or not doing it:

Those who, after being given the opportunity to learn about Him, do not strive to do His Will are bound to hell.... unless they make a sincere and quick "U-turn" before crossing the veil. In that case, Purgatory will be his/her home until the End of Time

Does this mean that if you love Him but sin and and ask and receive forgiveness that one will go to Heaven but will remain in Purgatory?

I ask for myself because I committed a serious sin in my life before I became a Catholic and received absolution.

I expected to spend much time in Purgatory separated from God but I didn’t think I was going to spend all of it in Purgatory. The thought of that makes me incredibly sad!

Can you please expound on this if time allows?

IW

A.
Oh, my dearest sister in Christ - Peace, Hope and no sadness!

First of all - Being in Purgatory until the End of Time only means that it is a long sentence but, at the End of Time, that soul will go on to Heaven and spend Eternity with God.

The "unless they make a sincere and quick 'U-turn' before crossing the veil." should have read "just before crossing the veil".

Now, every "sin" has a "price" even after it has been forgiven but.... therein is where the Mercy of God comes to our rescue. Think of the "Mercy of God" as "discount coupons" for the "price of sin".

As we published in our document on Divine Mercy:
Our Lord, speaking to Sister Faustina Kowalska in 1938, asked that the Feast of Divine Mercy be instituted on the first Sunday after Easter Sunday. We read in her diary (Nos. 299-300):
"...I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. Ask of my faithful servant (Faustina's Confessor) that, on this day, he tell the whole world of My great mercy; that whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment. +Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My Mercy."

And I, miguel de Portugal, assure you that the above message is indeed from God, thus  IS true!

Also remember the unEvangelized criminal crucified next to Jesus. What did Jesus say to him?
Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise. [Luke 23:43]
Why?

The criminal sincerely acknowledged his sins, accepted the punishment as deserved and just, recognized Jesus for Who He was, claimed that Jesus did not merit any punishment and appealed to His Mercy.

Your past life? Your past sins? Just as He said: The worst sin that man may have ever committed is but a grain of sand when compared to the Oceans of His Mercy!

...and we personally vouch for that too!

So, dearest sister, continue to strive to live His Will and pray much for the souls of Purgatory who ended  there as the result of the abysmal Evangelization. They need us and, if we show our sincere love for them through prayers to shorten their time in Purgatory, God will certainly take a note of that and...
Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. [Luke 7:47]
That is why it pains me so much to see what these "Evangelizers" from hell (as always, some exceptions are noted) have done for 1600 years - just enrich themselves, abuse our children and innocent adults and abandon our poor brethren to a miserable life before crossing the veil and after, when they end in Purgatory, a long sentence of suffering.

You have no idea how much that pains me.... which then makes me think of the Sorrows of Jesus and Mary because of that. Such thoughts have  moved us to offer a daily decade of the Rosary to console Them and pray The Gloria - in every Mass, not just on Sundays and on Feasts - as an act of consolation to Their Sorrows.

Please, let me know if we have answered you questions and concerns clear enough.


The Gospel for.... the first Mass celebrating the Assumption of our Heavenly Mother was from Luke 11:27-28:

While Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed."

He replied, "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."


Two key matters to note: (a) It is not just hearing the word of God but observing it what really matters; and (b) If one is not "blessed", in what state is one then?

According to wordhippo.com, the opposite of "blessed" - which means not being in that state - is:

profane, unfavored, condemned, cursed, damned, despised, disapproved, scorned

Not a pretty picture, is it?


From miguel de Portugal

Some of you received from us yesterday a News Update headlining: FBI warns of imminent hack attack on ATM machines worldwide.

Our comment was:  Tragically the question that needs to be asked is: Is the US Shadow Government behind this to accelerate the world's fall into chaos? We would not be surprised at all!

Our readers may wonder how such a hack could accelerate the world's fall into chaos?

As it has frequently happens, God gave me a preview of that many years ago. Picture this...

Mid nineties, while in Nazare, Portugal, the ATM system of the entire country went down and stayed down for at least three hours. It was like a Zombie movie... people were walking around with their ATM card in their hands, glassy eyed, expressionless faces and looking for the next ATM machine to stick the card in. After a few trials they would walk into the nearest bank wherein they found glassy eyed employees with no answer because they had no idea what had happened or for how long it would stay like that.

Imagine the scene in the two major cities of Portugal - Lisbon and Porto.

Now, about 23 years later, the dependency on those ATM cards has increased tremendously and the negative consequences would be many times greater. Now, to that add the fact that the event we witnessed was just an innocent program error in the central computer. Imagine how it would be as the result of an evil hack.

Just a reminder that we are living on borrowed time!


In today's Gospel .... Matthew 18:21-19:1 - after Peter approached Jesus and asked Him: "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times? He responds: "I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times".

Unfortunately that is the Gospel that satan uses to keep the enablers enabling the destructive behavior of those whom they love.

Indeed Jesus' answer is not the result of a Scribe's or translator's mistake - it is true but only applicable to those who are truly striving to do things right.

Remember, God does not judge us on how Holy we are; He judges us on how much we sincerely try to sanctified ourselves.


August 14th

The Gospel for...
last Friday is another of those Gospels that are read/heard over and over again and simply ignored. Let us review it:

Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.

Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me."
[John 12: 24-26]

Of course, the parallel with the grain of wheat does not refer to physical death - it refers to dying to the world.

It follows that the life one is to hate is the 'life, world style'.

He clearly equates 'serving Him' with 'following Him' and those who 'follow Him' obviously are the ones who strive to do His Will.... which are the only ones who will be honored by the Father.

Honor with what? A trophy? A medal? A certificate? Of course not! The Father will honor him/her with Eternal Life!

Straight forward conclusion and perfectly coherent with many other similar statements by Jesus:

Those who, after being given the opportunity to learn about Him, do not strive to do His Will are bound to hell.... unless they make a sincere and quick "U-turn" just before crossing the veil. In that case, Purgatory will be his/her home until the End of Time. After the End of Time, said soul will spend Eternity with God.

Yes; that is also that simple!

Can you imagine what is the destination for anyone who was given the responsibility to preach the Gospel as He clearly stated through Mark 16:15 and did not, or that through scandalous behavior pushed away those who are intended to go to heaven? The "bottom floor" of hell! Yes, just like in Heaven, hell has levels.

If we were looking for a concrete - no conspiracy theory type - confirmation for why it is absolutely necessary to have the Holy Spirit of God well "installed" in our hearts so that we are able to navigate safely through the seas of misinformation and deceit, we could not have find a better one! Read on.

We received an e-mail from The Black Vault - an organization which dedicates itself to legally demanding the release of critical papers from the government. We do not have a Snowden or a WikiLeaks here; we have a strictly legal means of letting the people know what is hidden behind the "Confidential" and "Top Secret" stamps.

Just the first two paragraphs of the e-mail are necessary to get our point across. They follow:

In short, many years ago, The Black Vault became the first place to make available the MKULTRA (CIA's "Mind Control" research program)  documents available to the public, online, and for free.  Since then, it has risen to be the most popular archive out of the 2,000,000+ pages available on the site.

A researcher by the name Oscar Diggs painstakingly went through the archive's index record, as given to me by the CIA. This list, was supposed to be an index of the tens of thousands of pages released to me on 4 CD-ROMs.
(1)

Two million plus pages of CIA's Mind Control research program!! Do we need to draw a picture for you to illustrate about what that really means?

Frankly, we do not even bother to look at them - it is pointless. The only solution may be found in our last post:

Drop to your knees and start praying in earnest (2)(3) - this is not a dry run!

Have you heard that.... it has been confirmed that 12,800 Years Ago, Earth Was Struck by a Disintegrating Comet, Setting Off Global Firestorms? (1)
According to modern theories of geological evolution, the last major ice age (known as the Pliocene-Quaternary glaciation) began about 2.58 million years ago during the late Pliocene Epoch. Since then, the world has experienced several glacial and interglacial periods, and has been in an inter-glacial period (where the ice sheets have been retreating) ever since the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago.

According to new research, this trend experienced a bit of a hiccup during the late Paleolithic era. It was at this time – roughly 12,800 years ago, according to a new study from the University of Kansas – that a comet struck our planet and triggered massive wildfires. This impact also triggered a short glacial period that temporarily reversed the previous period of warming, which had a drastic affect on wildlife and human development.

In Today's Gospel... the most important part was, naturally, left out.

Today's Gospel was Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14, leaving out verses 6 through 7:

[6] But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. [7] Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

The "little ones" are those who believe in Jesus and "a scandal" is the behavior which silently says that whomever is acting it out does not believe in Jesus.

Now, that message applies to all of us but, the 'weight' of the proverbial millstone increases as the appearance of the one that scandalizes the "little ones" indicates a greater degree of Christian behavior and of leadership.

The following news report is so grave that we will open this post with it and hope that our NSA "Guardian Angels" read it and think about it!
[our highlights]

Russia was brazen enough to use a chemical weapon on British soil. Could it happen in the United States? (0)

The poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury, England, has prompted U.S. national security officials to take a renewed look at how best to protect Russian dissidents from the possibility of a similar nerve agent attack on American soil.

Former U.S. national security officials said the list of assumed Kremlin enemies in the U.S. is long, but that the government doesn't offer most of them any special protections. So far, no such attacks have taken place in the U.S., and most Russia critics doubt that President Vladimir Putin would take such an extraordinary risk.


Comments: All that the Shadow Government (1)(2)(3) government has to do is:

(a) stage just one such attack;
(b) have the Main Stream Press brainwash the U.S. citizens with it;
(c) push us to the brink of a nuclear confrontation with Russia - which they believe they can control  (which they cannot since it is now God Who Is calling all the shots.)
and logically...
(d) taking a calculated risk Putin showers the south east of the U.S. with the Cuban based (4) Oak strategic nuclear missiles in less than 15 minutes, thus launching a Nuclear Apocalypse.

...and for all practical purposes the South East of the US will become uninhabitable.

Do you think that this is far fetched? Do you think that God will not allow it? Think again!, and while you do that remember that God allowed World War II and the spread of Communism as well as the Back Death in "Christian" Europe sending Home or to hell 30 to 60 % of the European population of the fourteenth century.

Our behavior for the last 1600 years deserves that and more! Our only hope is to recognize our monumental stupidity and offenses to the Goodness of God and appeal to His Mercy.

Drop to your knees and start praying in earnest (5)(6) - this is not a dry run!

From miguel de Portugal

Some may say: "Yeah, right! You have nothing else to do but pray but we have a life, you know."

Allow us to refresh your memory... As it was stated in my focused autobiography:

Miguel Angel, now miguel de Portugal, continues to practice the Faith by fasting and much prayer. "Prayer" includes offering the daily Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the full Holy Rosary, praying the Chaplet of Mercy and similar traditional Catholic devotions.  miguel spends approximately five hours per day, spread throughout the entire day, engaged in such activities. Nothing - including his professional life before leaving the world behind - in his life takes precedence over this.

That is, even when I had two professions what you read above was done through the Grace of God. Why else do you think I learned to drive through the Houston expressways at 70 mph while praying the rosary; or while walking anywhere; or while even showering. Yes! Showering!

With God all is possible - all He needs is a willing soul and He will even create the time. I know; not believe, but know!

So... just do it!

[Note: We realize that most of you do not have physical access to a valid Mass but God has that problem covered for you now through the Mystical Parish that we head.]


At the bottom of .... our mailings we have posted the following message:

Those of you who have not extended a hand to keep this Ministry ongoing and are benefiting from it, are now being encouraged to do so.

Unfortunately for those who we know are financially able, continue to ignore our "how can it be any clearer" hint.

Prior to that we had a more subtle hint:

For whosoever shall give us to drink a cup of water in My Name, because we belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. [Mark 9:40]
and...
Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet's reward.... [Matthew 10:41]

Of course, the above hint was also summarily ignored

Now, the theology lesson....

As we were personally explaining to the one collaborator that we have on site, the following explanation shows why the message given through Mark 9:40 and Matthew 10:41 is the proverbial Gospel Truth and not the product of an inventive Evangelist.

Being human, there is a limit to what a even a prophet can do; even with Divine assistance there are some definite limits. For example, one does not produce and publish thousands of applied theology documents typing with just two fingers and looking at the keyboard to see which is the next letter to hit next, or have visual limitations for 17 years and still keep on going with very little human support, etc. etc. without Divine assistance, nonetheless limits do exist.

By giving my unqualified "Yes!" to God and strive to live it with every breath, my "basic reward" (1) has already been deposited in my 'Heavenly Account'. Therefore, the work we do has become an opportunity for those who have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear to earn "prophet's rewards".

Any additional merits that I am able to gain by utilizing the assistance of those who "give me to drink a cup of water in His Name", thus allowing me to do more in the service of God, will get and equal "deposit" in his or hers 'Heavenly Account'. It does not matter if the help was monetary or physical; and if physical, it does not matter if it was translating a text or cleaning a toilet - either endeavor has freed my time so that I could accomplish what only an individual with the faculties God has granted me can do.

In addition to the personal benefit gained by those who have "given me to drink a cup of water in His Name", we take this opportunity to sincerely thank them because whatever they have done to assist me - financially or cleaning the proverbial toilet - has enabled me to produce more fruit for our Heavenly Father to Whom we owe everything - yes, Everything!

May God Bless you richly and may He have Mercy on those who have turned a deaf ear to our call for assistance.

If we have offended anyone by the way the above message has been delivered, we beg your forgiveness; however, no apologies are forthcoming for message itself.
_____________________
(1) The concepts of "basic reward" and "additional rewards" in reference to me almost defies explanation in human terms. Basically is a moot point to me regarding what moves me to do what I strive to do - such action from my part is powered by my love for God and, the logical consequence of that, my love for true His children who are disoriented and seeking Him - even if they are not aware of it.

The First Reading of today's Mass - Jeremiah 31:31-34 - is directed to us today and not for those at that time. Let us take a look at it...

The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers: the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for they broke my covenant, and I had to show myself their master, says the LORD.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD.

I will place my
law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

No longer will they have need to teach their friends and relatives how to know the LORD. All, from least to greatest, shall know me, says the LORD, for I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sin no more.

It is theologically obvious that the only time when...

God will place His... law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

and

No longer will they have need to teach their friends and relatives how to know the LORD. All, from least to greatest, shall know me,...

...has to be after the Second Coming. Otherwise, why would have Jesus instruct His Apostles to go forth and spread the Good News, that is, Evangelize the world?

Come Lord Jesus! We are awaiting You with open arms and open hearts!


From Jesus Christ

Remember, give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. [Matthew 7:6]

JC

A.
Yes, Lord, I remember but I do not trust myself - I only trust You. What if I judge someone to be a "swine" or a "dog" and I am wrong?

Knowing the reality of Your advice through Gamaliel:

Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men. 36 For before these days rose up Gamaliel, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing. 37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed. 38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought; 39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. [Acts 5]

I rather give them a chance just in case I erred in judgment. Should that someone is indeed a "swine" or a "dog", I will take refuge in the reality of your promise:

....He will save me from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover me with His feathers, and under His wings I will find refuge; His faithfulness will be my shield and rampart....

....A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me.
[Psalm 91]

However, Lord, I do not wish to "...observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked." [Psalm 91]  What I prefer is that said "swine" or "dog" see the error in time so that they may break lose from their evil spell before is too late.

Am counting on You!


May a communicant.... receive Holy Communion more than once in the same day?

Canon Law 917 A (1) is quite specific about it.  In the simplest of cases - a person who is not in danger of death - and ...who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist can receive it a second time on the same day only within the eucharistic celebration in which the person participates.

That is, within two eucharistic celebrations (two Masses); not one eucharistic celebration (one Mass) and a communion service.

Just clarifying a key procedure which the faithful may not be aware of due to the failed Evangelization effort.

A few key news reports which maybe many should be aware of...

QAnon Exposed as An Intel Psyop
After more than 6 months of watching people get scammed by the #QAnon phenomena, I (the article's author) am going to make the below thread to explain to you exactly why it is an intelligence agency-backed psyop, what techniques are being used, and why you need to stop people falling for it.

I  referred to #QAnon today as a ‘Pied Piper’ operation. What I meant by this, is that the operation exists to round up people that are otherwise dangerous to the Deep State (because they are genuinely opposed to it) usurp time & attention, & trick them into serving its aims., etc.
Comments:  We knew that but, for those who need greater detail, this article could be an eye opener which would help spot other "birds of the same feather".

Pope at General Audience: "Love is incompatible with idolatry"
In his continued catechesis on the Ten Commandments at the Wednesday General Audience, Pope Francis warns against the temptation to idolatry present in modern society, saying the true God teaches us to love.
Comments: They have spent 1,600 years teaching idolatry by example - using images, painted and sculped - and now he comes up with this. Francis is indeed doing the best he can to destroy the faith by inappropriately correcting the money making errors they promoted for sixteen centuries.
Considering that we know for a fact that some Seminarians in Houston have referred to those who adore The Eucharistic Presence of Jesus as "cookie worshippers" - a mind set that is probably shared by millions upon millions of Catholics considering the lack of importance given by most to Jesus in the Eucharist - many will add the adoration of His Eucharistic presence in Bergoglio's definition of idolaters.
Once again we must point our that the Vatican II started dealing with this in the appropriate manner but then Opus Dei took over the church.

Apple hits $1 trillion stock market valuation
Apple Inc  became the first $1 trillion publicly listed U.S. company on Thursday, crowning a decade-long rise fueled by its ubiquitous iPhone that transformed it from a niche player in personal computers into a global powerhouse spanning entertainment and communications.
Comments:  And people still do not catch the connection this has with the Biblical fall of mankind. Even their logo is an apple from which a bite has been taken. There is no doubt - satan is having a blast!


August 7th

From miguel de Portugal

As you may recall, after Jesus Resurrected He manifested Himself many times to those who knew Him.

As you may also recall, in some instances He appeared just as they knew Him thus He was immediately recognized. Other times He was not recognized - the first time being when Mary Magdalene thought He was a gardener in the area where the tomb was located.

Therefore, we wish to point out to all of our readers that most likely you have met Him already face to face - just as I have. This means that it may happen again before you cross the veil.

This is just a reminder to treat (love) others as you like to be treated (loved) for the object of that treatment may be Jesus Christ Himself!


From Mrs. LM @ US
[Our comments/response within the text in blue]

Thank you for the insight regarding the Capital Punishment statement.  I know one should never assume, but I did.  I assumed the Church was always against capital punishment, just like abortion.  I never even considered their position on war. I never knew there were "exceptions." I guess I missed that lesson in Catechism class. I have never heard this discussed from the pulpit.

So, it is understandable why so many Catholics do not have an in depth knowledge on the basic teachings of the Catholic Faith, along with Mary's legitimate messages.  No one teaches these things from the pulpit...

Thank you! for you response. You did not miss any lesson in Catechism. Those are matters that they prefer to keep in the dark because they go against the fundamentals teachings of God - Whom they obviously (some exception, as always, noted) do not serve.
 
We just met a couple at a wedding, who are both former Catholics, whose parents have not taken their adult faith choice well. They are both Christians and very active in their current church, but the parents say they are not in "the one true church"  I told the husband that I know there is salvation outside the Catholic Church.  He told me that I didn't sound like a "normal" Catholic.

You (and Thank God! many more by now) do not sound like a "normal" Catholics any more than the pre Babylonian exile Jews  sounded like "normal" Jews. That is why so many "normal" Catholics will not find the narrow gate unless the wake up just before the end.

I don't know anyone who would revolted by this behavior of the Administration and would abandon God, because they never knew this information to begin with.

Mostly they abandon the Roman Catholic Church, but we have met some who had abandoned God until they came across us and learned that what they saw within the Roman Catholic Church had very little to do with God.

Oh well, I am sure I will learn more important information though your pages and for that I am eternally grateful to God!

It is for you and those like you that we exist. Let us never forget that the Catholic Faith is the faith that has the most revealed truths in its spiritual treasury of all faiths known to man. Thus, let's make it available to our brothers and sisters through our living examples.

Peace, Blessings and have a Wonderful Week!

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, testimonial and Blessings!

Did you know that... Ayn Rand, novelist and conservative political thinker, has an impassioned following among some of modern days Republicans? (1)

They embrace her defense of laissez-faire capitalism and individualism. In many respects, she is the godmother of all libertarians.

Our readers may ask: Who cares? What makes this worthy of mention? Read on because it is more important now than ever now that Mr. Paul Ryan is two heart beats away from the Oval Office.

What some put aside, however, is the inconvenient fact that she was also an outspoken atheist.

A group of left-leaning Christians decided to make an issue of this disconnect, putting some leading Republicans on the spot about the woman they think of as an intellectual hero.

A political ad, created by the faith-based advocacy group American Values Network (AVN) and provocatively titled “Ayn Rand & GOP vs. Jesus,” attempts to drive a wedge into the Republican coalition by drawing attention to Rand’s anti-religious rhetoric. The ad is directed primarily at Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican whose budget plan was championed by Republicans and decried as overly austere by Democrats.

And while observers say that efforts to use the admiration that Ryan and others have expressed for Rand to sow discontent in the party’s conservative Christian base will gain little traction, there are some signs that Democratic groups like AVN are not the only religious Christians focusing on Rand.

Martin E. Marty, a prominent professor of the history of modern Christianity at the University of Chicago Divinity School, has also written recently on Rand and the acceptance of her ideas by some Christian conservatives.

“I don’t know anybody, including the well-known circle of atheists, that has been more overt, open and blunt in their denunciation of religion and also Christianity,” Marty told the Forward. “That’s just a puzzle to me that it’s just so overt, and yet they can sort of slice it out and say you can be selfish all you want, but it has nothing to do with your faith.”

Amen!


August 4th

From miguel de Portugal


In yesterday's Divine Encouragement we addressed the importance of "preparing the soil" [the soul] - our own and helping with that of others - so that when Jesus drops "the seed" [His Blessings] into the prepared "soil" [the soul] "the seed" [His Blessings] will eventually produce good fruit.

Today we will share with you that there is another type of soil - the spiritual environment -  which, when properly prepared, thus produces good fruit, is of tremendous benefit to our own "soil".

The best way to illustrate this is with actual examples.

(a) Enlisting the souls in Purgatory

What seems to be my last stop before the End of These Times is a fortified city which dates back to the 6th and 7th century. Although now it is of very little physical importance and its biggest industry are Rest Homes, centuries past, fourteen wars were fought here. The Spanish Civil War, two wars with the French and twelve wars with its very Christian and Catholic Portugal - the typical product of a failed Evangelization.

There were many, many battles fought within a radius of 70 miles, therefore there are many unmarked mass graves as well as unmarked single graves in this area. A persistent messenger was sent to me - a story that will be shared in the future - so that we would start praying for those souls.

Therefore, on a daily basis, we offer a decade of the Rosary for the repose of the souls which are in unmarked - single and mass - graves within an area of 31,400 sq. kilometers (12,100 sq. miles).

Without a doubt, those grateful souls make sure that the spiritual environment I am surrounded by will help my soul to produce good fruit for our Lord.

A shorter prayer is offered for the benefit of the souls of those who are buried in regular cemeteries within the same surface area.

(a) Enlisting the living souls in the area

We function within three towns - two in Spain and one in Portugal. Therefore, on a daily basis, we offer a decade of the Rosary for the residents of those three towns, and surrounding villages, as well as for those who may visit that area on that day.

Without them being aware of it, their guardian angels will also provide for me a very productive "spiritual environment" which help my soul to produce good fruit for our Lord.

No; I am not good, nor holy, nor a saint - but neither am I stupid. I know that God's Word is true, He has shared with me many secrets of the workings within the spiritual domain and moved me to love "my neighbor" - regardless of which side of the veil each one is. Therefore, what we have just shared with you is the logical result of that.

As we keep repeating - It is that simple! Just do it!


From Mrs. LM @ US

Apparently, (Pope) Francis has changed the teaching on Capital Punishment in the Catechism.

Could you give us some insight on this?

Peace and Blessings!

LM

A.
Thank you for the opportunity to address this matter now.

Frankly we were not aware that the Catechism approved Capital Punishment under any circumstances. We were aware that it approved Just Wars.

Neither Capital Punishment nor Just Wars are from God regardless of what the Catechism - which is correct in most of its teachings - may say.

As we have repeated many times - the "Thou shalt not kill" Divine Law was, essentially, the second Law God gave to humanity in accordance to the teachings from Genesis. Even in such a grave situation as when one kills one's own brother.

[10] And God said to Cain: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

[11] Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand. [12] When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth. [13] And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.

[14] Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.

[15] And the Lord said to him:
No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him. [Genesis 4]

The problem with this scandalous pronouncement by Francis is just that - as usual he is causing scandal.

The Roman Catholic Church - under the direction of who the Hierarchical Administration claim is "Christ on Earth", the Pope - has been killing and maiming humans since right after Constantine purchased the Church and the faithful have been brainwashed so that they believe that it is acceptable, when it is not.

The faithful have also been brainwashed to believe that the Pope is infallible, and now, Francis comes out again trumpeting that what they have been doing for 1,600 years is against Divine Law - so much for the infallibility claimed.

What Francis should have done were he of God - as he should have done in the many other areas where he has caused other major scandals - is to start making the changes behind the scenes, working with the Hierarchical Administrators, so that official Church policy would be changed without causing the faith-killing scandals he is so good at.

As we have pointed out, the Second Vatican Council intended to start that process until satan's smoke seeped in, as Pope Paul VI announced. Could he had been referring to the Opus Dei? In retrospect, it certainly looks like that.

You may ask us: If you were the one visibly in charge of the Catholic Faith - East and West, how would you have proceeded to correct the many errors that the "infallible" Church has promoted for 1600 years?

You can draw the answer primarily from the following documents: (a) Changes in the Church which are acceptable to God, (b) About Infallibility; (c) What really is the the Pope's position? and how important it really is....

....while reminding one and all Jesus' crystal clear pronouncement:

Jesus turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men. [Mark 8:33]

...which of course clearly indicates that when whomever "savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men" is in that particular area acting for satan, regardless of what position said individual occupies in a religious institution.

Of course, scandalous Francis does not know what he is doing nor what he is being used for - achieve complete chaos in the Roman Catholic Church and in the Catholic Faith - and that he is doing it well!

In the meantime, the true children of God are benefiting from it. Such scandalous behavior is moving the Elect to spiritually abandon "the Church" - not the Faith! -  so that when the deception is launched from the Vatican, they will not be ensnared by it.

We all must strive by word and deed so that those who are revolted by the behavior of the Hierarchical Administration - now and in centuries past - do not abandon God, first, nor the Catholic Faith, second.

If all of the faithful truly understood the Spiritual Power that is contained in the basic teachings of the Catholic Faith coupled with the repeated legitimate messages from Mary, they would strive to practice to its full extent.

Yes... It IS that simple!


While on the subject.... of Francis, Capital Punishment, etc....

A news report (1) referring to the recent statement by Francis about Capital Punishment just reached our hands. It really is priceless because it contains a quote which gives a concrete witness to the real Opus Dei mentality showing through as seldom before. What gives it great credibility is who pronounced what is quoted in said article regarding Capital Punishment. This individual is not just an Opus Dei push-over, it is the priest - C. John McCloskey III - responsible for spreading the Opus Dei infection within the government of the United States of America.

Quoting from The Los Angeles Times article:

Father C. John McCloskey III is an Opus Dei priest known for helping a number of Republican politicians, including then-Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and Newt Gingrich, convert to Catholicism.

It is a great grace to know the time of one’s death, as it gives us the opportunity to get right with the Lord who will judge us at our death,” McCloskey wrote in a 2015 article. “Perhaps many people have been saved in this way by the death penalty. Who knows what would have happened if they had been allowed to linger in this life, one day possibly killing other people?(1)

Comments: Do you realize how far that perverted theo-logic can be taken? What can we expect from people who fought with - yes WITH - Nazi Germany in World War II (2)?

Of course they have air brushed out their involvement in the Wikipedia articles (3) but that is a known fact in Spain.

What next? Round up all Jews, give then a fixed death date so that they can - in fear - accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah (just in case) before it is too late for them? After all, that is exactly what their logic proposes.

With seven months worth of Earthquakes greater than 5.0 in the Richter scale counted, the number Earthquakes for the year 2018 continue at the same level as what we had in the year 2017. That is, 2.5 times the average for the prior three years (2014, 2015 and 2016).

The differece continues to be that we are seeing Earthquakes in locations that we have seldom seen in the past several years of monitoring.

It is as if the number is the same as last year, but they are hitting other parts of the globe. This is just a casual obeservation as opposed to the accurate count of the number of quakes.

and, as another matter of curiosity...

From Mr. Christopher Ballad @ USA - Published posthumously

Christ be with you!
 
Some late night web browsing on a totally unrelated subject led me to a very startling revelation: There is a provable connection between Opus Dei (OD) related entities, their leaders and the nefarious organization known as Skull and Bones.
 
The well known group, Catholics United for the Faith (CUF), has always been a powerhouse conservative "catholic" entity, seemingly beyond reproach. Yet I could never figure out exactly WHAT they do, except posture and pose as pseudo intellectuals longing for a complete restoration of the power and glory of "Holy Mother Church", as they erroneously refer to the Church  (Mary was declared Mother of the Church by H.H. Paul VI and Mary is our Mother too - not the Church!).

Even after reading this, I am still unsure of why they are raising money ! Or what - in concrete terms - CUF actually does. While some broad goals are stated (without defining where the planned for facilities are to be located), one cannot readily find out who is running CUF (its officers, etc.). The address listed in in Steubenville, OH - where the famous liberal university is located; the University which produced many of the evangelicals who now populate EWTN. If memory serves me right, CUF used to have a mailing address suspiciously close to that of Opus Dei when they were located in New Rochelle, NY in the 80s.
 
Should that not be enough of a clue, the endorsement by Archbishop Raymond "Bully" Burke - the poster boy for OD cooperators - will surely do!
 
Now here is the "clincher": The founder of CUF - H. Lyman Stebbins - went to Yale, where he was tapped for the demonic Skull and Bones (1) fraternity in 1933.
 
It can be said with certainty that a "Bonesman" is a Mason; to not be would be virtually impossible. Masons (2) are encouraged to "get involved with local churches"..... which can be viewed as a type of "operation by insertion into the local church"........ which are OD terms, to the letter.
 
So here we have a well known but inscrutable "catholic organization" founded by a man who was:

a) a Bonesman, b) a presumed Mason, c) an investment banker - who obviously was able to use the previous two connections, d) a writer/self made intellectual who set himself up as an instant "catholic leader of conservatism/orthodoxy", e) one who helped engineer the desire for the return to the glory and power of the Vatican, et. al.
 
At his death, Stebbins was lauded by The Wanderer and other conservative/traditionalist periodicals. On hearing of his death I wondered: "Who IS this guy"? I had never heard of him....... yet it was as if a great actor or politician or global importance had passed.
 
The connections and implications of this are staggering! Yet I am not surprised, as the best way to commandeer an organization is to work from inside. And this only goes to prove what you have said regarding the threat from the Right, and the coming right wing order.
 
You remain in my daily prayers,

CB

- Thank you for these important insights and... May your soul Rest In Peace.

Please, do not forget your promise that I would remain in your daily prayers. They are needed now more than ever.

You are indeed doing the work of Elijah.
 
I am sure you have helped a lot of people by your in depth explanation of why it is not proper to succumb to the "protocol" of burying the Saint Joseph statue to sell a house and similar superstitious techniques.
 
A few sayings and quotes come to mind:
 
1. Desperate people do desperate things; (1)
2. In a crisis, (2) all common sense goes out the window (ascribed to Richard M. Nixon)
3. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
 
What you have done and continue to do in your publications is show people how to go to God for all things.
 
Somehow we either never learned (3), or have forgotten, that God is the fountain of all goodness and everything that we will ever need comes from Him.
 
To know and practice this (4) is important for soon we will all need His help like never before. (5)
 
The most successful people think things through and have a plan.  They anticipate what is likely to happen and plan for it.  But most important, they have Plan B, C, D, etc., since life rarely goes as planned.  Praise God for sending you,  Miguel, to give to people the steps needed to "get it right" before catastrophe hits.
 
You have done and continue to do much good for the Children of God.
 
Peace

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I pray the we are reaching all those who we are supposed to reach.

Paraphrasing and personalizing John 17:12, I pray: Those whom thou gavest me to reach, I will; and none of them will be lost,...., that the scripture may be fulfilled.
