From (Mr.) TK @ US
I hope I do not offend our Lord (or you), but this article (1) about the multitude of Eucharistic
Ministers really hit home for me.
I have been asked in the past, "Why are you not a Eucharistic minister?" You know, I just do not think I am worthy to give our Lord to someone else in the form of the Eucharist.
There truly are too many people doing this at Holy Mass. I have seen many "converts" (many of whom I have helped) become a Eucharistic minister immediately after their accepting of the faith (Holy Saturday). They do this for a year or two and then you do not see them again.
The other thing that bothers me is that there are parish Deacons or Priests who sit with the congregation during Holy Mass and do not help distribute the Holy Communion, rather, they let the lay people do this for them.
Sorry to be negative or complain but I see the opportunity to receive our Lord as the most incredible thing that you could possibly do. And to distribute Him is just unfathomable to me.
I pray for all, including myself, that we truly try and understand just how incredibly Blessed we are to be able to receive our Lord in the Eucharist (everyday if one makes the effort). Even the Angels do not have this awesome GIFT!

A. Thank you for the opportunity to address this issue on these pages.
The Church allowed extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion after the Second Vatican Council for very specific situations - primarily for: (a) When a priest or deacon is not available; or (b) Properly ministering to the sick and homebound who cannot attend the Holy Mass. Unfortunately, like most everything in a religious institution, this Grace has become a social affair and, in far too many cases, a subtle way for the Eucharistic Minister - as they are incorrectly called - of telling the rest of the congregation: "Look at me - I am holier than you are!"
Of course - the responsibility lies squarely on the parish priest or the local Bishop who ultimately have the responsibility on how the liturgy is conducted at their location and not on some of the Eucharistic ministers who are true people of God.
Take Houston, Texas, in the late eighties, for example.
In the Dominican parish of the Holy Rosary the communion was always offered by the two priests in residence. Even if the Mass was offered by one priest, the other waited in the Sacristy and would come out at the communion distribution time. [By the way: The kneelers had never been removed and most received the Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue.]
In the Basilian parish of St. Anne, barely five miles away - which has six priests in residence - at times it felt that there were more people on the altar distributing communion than people on the pews.
To this situation we must add the problem of lack of sensitivity by some of the Eucharistic Ministers - which is allowed by the priests in charge. We have seen some dresses being worn by Eucharistic Ministers which would test to the limit the power of concentration of the most devoted (but human) male communicant.
Your complaints/concerns are not unfounded in our view. We have seen (in more ways than one!) enough to justify them.

From (Mr.) LP @ USA
As I was proofreading your updated document on The Time Line of Creation (1) and pondered about the most likely location from the Garden of Eden (as shown on the maps linked to from the document) several thoughts came to mind.
(a) It would seem logical that, in the coming Tribulation, any surviving pre-Flood structures and
archives would be destroyed, to assist mankind in starting off with a truly clean slate and to
keep us from falling into the same traps a third time.
(b) We do not know – in any detail – what revelations and warnings God gave man before the Flood. Do we? Presumably, enough warning was given then so that mankind of the time was accountable for its willful failure to repent.
(c) Since the Flood, we, as a race, have since been given the Scriptures, the Sacraments, the appearances of the Mother of God, and God Himself walking among us. However, as a race, we have gone off the rails … again. Even if our current moral degeneration is no worse than that of the generation of the Flood, we have been given (and wasted) greater graces.
All of these circumstances listed above call for the coming Flame Deluge to be – as Mary warned – a punishment greater than the Flood.
(d) Wouldn’t it be an interesting coincidence if World War Three starts with a US/Israeli attack on Iran, the location of the original Eden shown in the above mentioned maps? It would be even stranger if some of the targets attacked with nuclear weapons are within this specific, ancient locality.

A. Your feedback, thoughts and inspirations are, as always, welcome. We will respond briefly and will use the same letters - (a), (b), etc. - to indicate the responses.
(a) Yes, they will. Those who remain will be hard pressed to even find something to fashion a loin
cloth with. On the other hand, the reason that moved Adam and Eve to cover their nakedness may no
longer exist, in which case, one would not be needed.
(b) Yes - Much less than He has given now... the warnings are proportional to the gravity of what is to follow.
(c) You state: "We, as a race, have since been given the Scriptures, the Sacraments, the appearances of the Mother of God, and God Himself walking among us."
Jesus states: 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]
That says it all - How could we improve on that response.
(d)Since what is coming cannot be stopped, we respond thus: May God grant such Grace so that it may serve as a Divine Stamp as to all else that will come and that we have announced in His Name. Amen!

Isn't it interesting that... Mary at La Salette instructed Malanie to make the secret (1) public in 1858 if one considers what was about to happen in 1859?
The Great Storm: Solar Tempest of 1859 Revealed: On September 1st and 2nd, 1859, telegraph
wires suddenly shorted out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires. Colorful
aurora, normally visible only in polar regions, were seen as far south as Rome and Hawaii.
The event 151 years ago was three times more powerful than the strongest space storm in modern memory, one that cut power to an entire Canadian province in 1989. A new account of the 1859 event, from research led by Bruce Tsurutani of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, details the most powerful onslaught of solar energy in recorded history.
To get an idea of the strength of the 1859 storm, you have to wade into nano-Teslas (nT's) for a moment.
A space storm's impact is measured in nano-Teslas (nT), Brekke explained. The lower the figure, the more powerful the storm. A moderate storm can be around -100 nT; extreme and damaging storms have been logged at around -300 nT.
The 1989 coronal mass ejection that knocked out power to all of Quebec, Canada measured -589 nT, Brekke said. The 1859 perfect storm was estimated to have been -1,760 nT. Brekke used three exclamation points in his e-mail delivering that number. (2)
The M+G+R Foundation comments: NASA said that the mega storm,
announced by the massive flare that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month,
had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid. But cheer up! (?) - NASA also said
that it could come "100 years away or just 100 days".

Did you know that...
...Britain carried outright assassinations during the Cold War?
[our underscoring]
"Certainly we did very bad things. We did a lot of direct action. Assassinations, at arm's length.
Although I was never involved," said the 79-year-old, whose real name is David Cornwell.
He drew a distinction between Western spy agencies and their Soviet bloc counterparts in the way they went about it.
"Even when quite ruthless operations were being contemplated (in the West), the process of democratic consultation was still relatively intact and decent humanitarian instincts came into play," he said.
"Totalitarian states killed with impunity and no one was held accountable."

Why do we seem to stress the apparently negative aspects of the Divine Realm?
Why do we (1) seem to stress... the apparently negative aspects of the Divine Realm?
There are several reasons but, primarily, to ensure that no one who ever visits our pages raises his/her voice asking: "Why would a loving God allow this?" or "Where was God?"
Nonetheless, the reader may ask: Why is it so important to help people not to fall into that trap?
The very theo-logical answer is: Because when man dares to question God and His goodness and justice, he/she incurs a greater debt to God.
For example: as we have explained elsewhere, (2) "Pain is the megaphone that God uses for the deaf to hear." Then, if we blaspheme against God because of the pain He is allowing (not causing) upon us to help us, we incur a greater "hearing loss" which, in turn, will require that God allows an increase of "the volume of the megaphone", that is - the pain.
Symbolically in physical terms...
Imagine that you fall off a second story terrace and hurt yourself lightly. You then struggle to
your feet, and seething with anger take the elevator to the tenth story and jump off the window
"just to get even with the force of gravity"; or...
You have a child with a slight dysfunction, which causes him/her to act rambunctious to call and hold your attention. You respond by ignoring him/her. The result: The child's misbehavior will increase to outright dangerous level for all.

Bottom line: We are trying to minimize the pain for the Elect who are destined for Heaven and must get there - one way (the easier way) or the other (through sheer pain). (3)
(2) God's Megaphone
Back to Contents
What if we have already triggered the Divine Volume mechanism?
As we never tire of saying – it is never too late to: (a) avoid repeating the same mistake; and (b) make sincere amends with God, for His Mercy knows no bounds and He can make an adjustment to the volume of the megaphone “on the run”.
With this scenario explained the best way we can in human terms, we shall then be able to explain the magnitude of what hangs over the proverbial head of the US.
First, understand —as you can see through many Biblical examples— that God works through man. For a certain event to happen, for example, God needs the assigned human to make a pronouncement (1), an invocation or a challenge (against the authority of God).
Regardless of why the 9-11 events took place —an inside job or an outside job or a combination of both— it had to be allowed by God for it to happen. Let us not forget that...Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will (consent) of your Father. [Matthew 10:29]
Logically – if He would allow that to happen, obviously we (the nation as a whole, the government or the people) are doing something very wrong. That being the case, the logical thing to do is determine what really caused so much pain and destruction and then correct it. Unfortunately such opportunity was wasted (2).
Nontheless, God needed an official position before the Divine course of action was to be taken. Although we have been aware of what looms over our head and was expressed in Step No. 1 of the Sequence of Events (3) almost ten years before the 9-11 events, we just became aware of when and where said official position was taken, and by whom.
On September 12, 2001, the US Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Thomas Daschle stated (4):
Mr. President, it is with pain, sorrow, anger, and resolve that I stand before this Senate, a
symbol for 212 years of the strength of our democracy, and say that America will emerge from this
tragedy, as we have emerged from all adversity, united and strong.
and
Nothing —nothing— can replace the losses that have been suffered. I know there is only the smallest measure of inspiration that can be taken from this devastation. But there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that I think speaks to all of us at times such as this:
That is what we will do. We will rebuild and we will recover. The people of America will stand strong together because the people of America have always stood together. And those of us privileged to serve this great Nation will stand with you.
God bless the people of America.
and

That is what we will do. We will rebuild and we will recover. The people of America will stand strong together because the people of America have always stood together. And those of us privileged to serve this great Nation will stand with you.
God bless the people of America.
Mr. Daschle fell for satan’s trap just like Eve did. Without realizing it, he officially defied God, triggering upon the nation all that has fallen upon it, with far worse yet to come.
It turns out that what he quoted from the Book of Isaiah was from a section of the Book of Isaiah with the following headline: The Lord ’s Anger Against Israel and it follows... (5)
[underscoring by us]
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it —Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— who say with pride and arrogance of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty.
9 All the people will know it —Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— who say with pride and arrogance of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin’s foes against them and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty.
and it gets worse...
14 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail,both palm branch and reed in a
single day;
15 the elders and prominent men are the head,the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
16 Those who guide this people mislead them,and those who are guided are led astray.
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
15 the elders and prominent men are the head,the prophets who teach lies are the tail.

17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
He repeats the Divine warning that “his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised” twice more.
Mr. Daschle’s act of defiance was echoed by many other prominent figures, such as Senator Kerry (6) and Senator John Edwards (7), etc. Meanwhile, to underscore the act of defiance, “a dressed stone” became a symbol of the reconstruction and was called “Freedom Stone” (8).
Therefore, although the magnitude of what hangs over the proverbial head of the US is not new to us — the awareness (certainty) dates back to 1991-1992 —, now we can show to our readers (a) the mechanism which activated it in time, and (b) how the last chance we had to avert it was wasted.

Did you know that... an attack on US Military computers in 2008 has been confirmed by the Deputy Secretary of Defense?
A top Pentagon official has confirmed a previously classified incident that he describes as “the
most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever,” a 2008 episode in which a foreign
intelligence agent used a flash drive to infect computers, including those used by the Central
Command in overseeing combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Plugging the cigarette-lighter-sized flash drive into an American military laptop at a base in the Middle East amounted to “a digital beachhead, from which data could be transferred to servers under foreign control,” according to William J. Lynn 3d, deputy secretary of defense, writing in the latest issue of the journal Foreign Affairs.
“It was a network administrator's worst fear: a rogue program operating silently, poised to deliver operational plans into the hands of an unknown adversary,” Mr. Lynn wrote.
Mr. Lynn described the extraordinary difficulty of protecting military digital communications over a web of 15,000 networks and 7 million computing devices in dozens of countries against far-flung adversaries who, with modest means and a reasonable degree of ingenuity, can inflict outsized damage. Traditional notions of deterrence do not apply.

The M+G+R Foundation comments:
(a) There is no way the military - or anyone else, for that matter - can prevent anyone from
slipping a flash drive into the easily accessible USB port of a computer; but...
(b) Using free brain power, the potentially catastrophic effects of infected flash drives can be neutralized before they even start to function.
(b) Using free brain power, the potentially catastrophic effects of infected flash drives can be neutralized before they even start to function.
The US government can waste - that is, throw away - 750 billion US dollars to fight wars which were lost before the first shot was fired, while only generating more enemies … and the imbeciles in charge are powerless in the face of a ten dollar flash drive.
Allow us to explain... The moment a flash drive is inserted in any of our computers, the security system that we use literally engulfs it, blocks it and checks its contents for virus or malware; then, it requests our authorization before it even allows its contents into the system.
As a secondary protection, one of our close cooperators prepared a tiny custom made program - less than 25 K in size - capable of blocking the standard mechanism by which the insertion of a flash memory launches automatically a predefined program. That program could be sent, with four lines of how-to instructions text attached, via e-mail to every US Military and defense/intelligence computer in the world – faster than we could say: Amen!
In addition, the security system that we use is an "off the shelf" item, which, upon being purchased, can be downloaded into any computer anywhere in the world and practically installed by an untrained baboon.
Tragically, when individuals use money which they did not have to work for - the taxpayers money; enrich their friends and feather their nest for their retirement inventing wars (which will never be won, period!); and use our children as cannon fodder regardless of the human pain (someone has to use the weapons and consume the projectiles) - why should they try to really solve the problems?
It follows that since the masses live in denial, "it is done unto them" over and over again. But then again, if the spiritual leaders have behaved - and continue to behave - the way they have and such atrocious behavior has been allowed by the adoring masses, why should we expect the political leaders to do any different?
The logical question when faced with such scenario then is: Why shouldn't God finally "pull the plug" once and for all?
Blessedly, He will.

From (Mr.) RB @ Spain
I was attending catholic Mass every day but, in the light of your post of July 19th, I changed my
habit. The formula that I have adopted since then is as follows.
On Sundays, I take the Spiritual Communion at an Orthodox Mass, in an Orthodox Chapel near my home - kindly welcomed by the local Orthodox priest and community - but not being possible the Sacramental Communion for me (due to Catholic-Orthodox human requirements).
The Orthodox churches rarely offer daily Mass. At least, that is the case of the Orthodox Chapel at my reach, which only offers Mass on Sundays.
Therefore, the other days I go to one of the selected churches were I attended catholic Mass before July 19th (I said "selected" because in those churches I had the impression of the Consecration being done properly), I go there not to partake in the Catholic Mass, but to take a time of adoration before the Tabernacle (outside of the Mass timetable), offering some prayers which are part of the Orthodox Mass (of course, excluding the Consecration prayers) and praying for Spiritual Communion.
The daily adoration before a Catholic Tabernacle was following your personal counsel. But a doubt has arisen in my mind afterwards: How is it coherent to reject the option of the Catholic Mass while still going to adoration before the tabernacle of a Catholic Church? (I mean, under the circumstances of having observed that Consecrations were done properly in the same temple)
Blessings!

A. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this point.
What Benedict XVI is/represents (1) cannot soil properly consecrated host and wine (2) and neither can it soil properly conducted Sacraments of Reconciliation, Baptism, Matrimony, etc. Therefore, as long as the host was properly consecrated the Faithful should not abstain from Adoration - on the contrary, the worse the world situation becomes the more need for Adoration and Reparation exists.
If a Mass were to be properly offered, but in which there were no prayers for "the Pope", there would not be a problem either. The problem arises when - in communion with those assembled in Mass - prayers and lauds are offered for Benedict XVI.
No one - not even satan and/or his precursor - can stand between an Elected one and Our Lord Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist, but praying for the precursor of the False Christ is not to be done in good conscience.
We trust that we have explained this very difficult to grasp point to the satisfaction of all.

Did you know that... the New Oxford Review (1) is considered by many as a bastion of traditional Catholicism?
A quick review to their publication may indicate that, on the surface, such is the case... until
you visit their Gear Shoppe (2) and run into
this
T-Shirt or any of a variety of similar
products.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Can you imagine the uproar if a Jewish oriented publication had a T-Shirt with "We'll crucify him again!" emblazoned on it, or a Muslim oriented publication offered a T-Shirt with "Death to the infidels!" or "We shall overcome them (again)!" emblazoned on them?
These are the type of "Christians" who swept into Constantinople and murdered all the Christian men, women and children of the New Rome (Constantinople) because they would not bow to the Imperial Supremacy of the Bishop of Rome.
These are the type of "Christians" that we should, in earnest, pray for, while avoiding them as if they constituted all the plagues sent upon the Egyptian Pharaoh wrapped into one!

Did you know that... another alleged "conspiracy theory" has been proven true? (1)
[our highlights]
The Claudy bomb conspiracy allowed IRA priest to go free. The report said police believed Fr James
Chesney was an IRA leader and was involved in the bombing
The police, the Catholic Church and the state conspired to cover up a priest's suspected role in one of the worst atrocities of the Northern Ireland Troubles, an investigation has found.
Nine people died in bombings in Claudy, County Londonderry on 31 July 1972. The Nortern Ireland Police Ombudsman's probe found that high-level talks led to Fr James Chesney, a suspect in the attack, being moved to the Irish Republic.
No action was ever taken against Fr Chesney, who died in 1980. Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson said that the government was "profoundly sorry" that Fr Chesney had not been properly investigated.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: The more God reveals to us and more
"dark secrets" are shouted from the rooftops, the more we comprehend why God allows what He does
upon humanity. Because of this, we sincerely look forward to the Grand Finale. It is indeed an act
of Supreme Mercy that a handful will survive, considering humanity's behavior towards its loving
and caring Creator.The police, the Catholic Church and the state conspired to cover up a priest's suspected role in one of the worst atrocities of the Northern Ireland Troubles, an investigation has found.

Have you heard that... a Tehran newspaper has an article (1) wherein Benedict XVI is depicted as a satanist overseeing a "Satanic Organization"?
Press TV (interviewer): Now with such large numbers of lawsuits being filed against members
of the Catholic Church, how would you assess its standing with its thousands of worshipers around
the world now?
Webre (interviewee): Well, you know that's a good question. Because you have a hierarchy that is in serious trouble, and does not want to look at their actions. They are hiding behind improper defenses like sovereign immunity, that it's a state as if it goes back to a decision when they were the Holy Roman Empire. It was the Roman Emperor around 300 AD that marked into the Pope. That is what we have. We have the former Roman Emperor who's now in the Vatican in Rome. This is a historical fact.
And for a religious, ethical and moral leader to hide behind the defense of sovereign immunity on a criminal prosecution of moral turpitude is beyond the pale. So, whether or not the Roman Catholic Church will survive this crisis, depends on how they are reacting. So far, they are not reacting well. Women have come forward and have wanted to be priests. They have been rebuffed completely.
It appears as though Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the current Pope) signature is all over the crimes that have been committed here, and as an attorney, I can tell you we have a big case of “Satanism” here with the Robert Picton cases here in Canada. So, I would say that, investigators should start looking at the Catholic Church as a possible “Satanic Organization.”

The M+G+R Foundation comments: As we have said many times - the problem is that such a quasi-factual litany harms the Catholic Faith and drives many away from living it.
Imagine what that paper would publish if they had the actual and concrete facts as published in our pages. The situation, of course, will go from bad to worse as scheduled.
For the record: A pedophile priest, as well as a Bishop/cardinal who covers up for him and just moves him around from parish to parish, is indeed under satanic influence. We do not know of anything that could harm souls more than a representative of a religious institution engage in sexual abuse. The harm is being done, of course, to the souls of the victims, of the perpetrators, and of those who cover up the crimes. That is why such behavior is satan's favorite soul-destructive tool.

Do you wonder how... a very correct ecclesiastical concept and instruction can be taken and, via transmission, be turned into destructive propaganda?
The following are words of advice of Pope St. Pius X to priests on the need for priestly dignity and propriety (1):
[our underscoring]
"In order never to be guilty of any unedifying act, the priest must regulate his actions, his
movements and his habits in harmony with the sublimity of his vocation. He who on the altar
almost ceases to be mortal and takes on a divine form, remains always the same, even when he
comes down from the holy hill and leaves the temple of the Lord.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: A priest never "almost ceases to be mortal", much less takes on a divine form.
It should read something like: He who was specially consecrated to offer the Divine Sacrifice to the Father.
and
Nothing inspires greater confidence than an ecclesiastic who, never forgetting the dignity of his
state, demonstrates in every situation that gravity which attracts and wins universal
homage.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Homage? Precisely what Jesus warned against.
It should read something like: ...that gravity which attracts and wins universal respect.
and
For when gravity is wanting in its leaders, the people lose respect and veneration for
them."
The M+G+R Foundation comments: Veneration for them? The clergy and the hierarchy?
It should read something like: ...veneration for the Sacred Sacraments they dispense in the Name of God.
Final comment from The M+G+R Foundation: This, brethren, exemplifies the spiritual seed that will yield – much sooner than most people are willing to accept – the False Christ, about which Paul warned the world almost 2,000 years ago:
We refer to 2 Thess. 2:1-12. Specifically verses 3-4:
Do not let anyone deceive you in any way because, first, there will be the apostasy and the man
of iniquity, the son of perdition, will be made manifest; the adversary, the one who
relishes on everything related to God or sacred, until he sits himself in the temple of God,
pretending that he is God.

Have you forgotten that... the gravest sin any man can commit is but a grain of sand compared with the Oceans of Divine Mercy? (1)
The key to unleash said Oceans of Mercy upon our souls is a truly contrite heart:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart, To preach deliverance to the captives, and
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the
Lord, and the day of reward. [Luke 4: 18-19]

Clarifications on The General Sequence of Events Leading to the End of These
Times
Regarding the Warning, Miracle and Sign announced at Garabandal
From (Mr.) IW @ US
In reference to your August 20th post in the FYI&R page pertaining to the Garabandal announced Warning, Miracle and Sign...
As The General Sequence of Events Leading to the End of These Times stands now in the original document:
Step No.5
The Warning (Garabandal terminology)/First Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place. [Astral/Psycho/Spiritual/Cataclysmic event]. About this time we should expect what is described in the Scriptures as Trumpets Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then, the 6th. [Revelations 8:7-12, 9:1-11, 13-19; Joel 3:1-2; Acts 2:16-18]
The Warning (Garabandal terminology)/First Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place. [Astral/Psycho/Spiritual/Cataclysmic event]. About this time we should expect what is described in the Scriptures as Trumpets Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then, the 6th. [Revelations 8:7-12, 9:1-11, 13-19; Joel 3:1-2; Acts 2:16-18]
a. This is the Heavenly assistance needed to defeat the brutal grip the godless have on the
world.
b. We will see ourselves (our true selves) as God sees us. This will help us in our conversion/salvation.
c. This will be also like the Second Pentecost.
d. The great majority of the enemies of God will perish. Physical desolation will be widespread in the planet.
b. We will see ourselves (our true selves) as God sees us. This will help us in our conversion/salvation.
c. This will be also like the Second Pentecost.
d. The great majority of the enemies of God will perish. Physical desolation will be widespread in the planet.
However, from what you have stated in the August 20th post, it looks like (a), (b), and (c) are gone, leaving us only with (d).
As it stands in the original document...
Step No.6
The New Evangelization will gain tremendous momentum. The massive conversion to Catholicism by most will herald this new era of apparent peace, under the leadership of (true, not apparent) Holy men. Together, and by the Grace of God, they will lead the reconstruction of the new God fearing civilization.

Together, and by the Grace of God, they will lead the reconstruction of the new God fearing civilization.
However, from what you have stated in the August 20th post, it seems that this is gone, too, and that the only "reconstruction of the new God-fearing civilization" occurs after the Return of Christ.
I had long wondered how this step would be manifest, given the ever-shorter number of years allotted to the sequence. How could there have been a "new God-fearing civilization" erected between the time of the left wing NWO and the time of the right-wing NWO, unless the whole sequence occurred over decades or more?
As it stands in the original document...
Step No.7
The Miracle (Garabandal terminology)/ Second Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place.
The Miracle (Garabandal terminology)/ Second Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place.
However, from what you have stated in the August 20th post, it seems that this is now a symbolic event, only, or something that was literally granted to only a few, or only one.
As it stands in the original document...
Step No.8
The Sign (Garabandal terminology) / Third Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place (Immediately after the Miracle).
The Sign (Garabandal terminology) / Third Secret (Medjugorje terminology) will take place (Immediately after the Miracle).
However, from what you have stated in the August 20th post, it seems that this is now a symbolic event, only, or something that was literally granted to only a few, or only one.
As it stands in the original document you state...
Note: This Sign will reconfirm the reality of God, of the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, thus, that all that has been revealed, regarding the End Times, in the Sacred Scriptures,
will be fulfilled in the near future.
However, from what you have stated in the August 20th post, we seem to be going straight from step 4, to the adverse parts of step 5 and then directly to step 9. It makes the sequence flow-through more consistent and uni-directional.
It also seems consistent with the "feel" of what Jesus and his apostles wrote about the tribulation preceding the Return of Christ. They appeared to describe a severe, worldwide Tribulation that did not include a favorable-to-mankind "break" of the kind alluded to in steps 5-8.

A. As you know, the original Sequence of Events was given to m de P right about the same
time he was given, unbeknown to him, the behind the scenes task of electing and maintaining Bill
Clinton in the White House for two terms - a feat that not even the "talking Heads" of the Media
could possibly explain (1). This behind the scenes task yielded the fruit
desired by God - a delay of ten years, according to Mr. Gorbachev (2), in
the establishment of the New World (International) Order.
As you also may remember m de P frequently stating, the ten year delay did not push back the set time for the End of These Times. Therefore, what we experienced was a shortening of the pre-End of These Times period. This resulted in what we, without realizing it, wrote in the documents describing the Establishment of the New World Order (3) and One Religion (4):

The Steps leading to that end are described in this document. They will be kept general so as
to accommodate the necessary corrections of course as the plan is implemented.
and with the statement
Concurrent with all other steps... which preceded each step.
The Sequence of Events document was prepared in 1992 while the documents on One World Order and Religion were prepared in 1993.
When m de P was informed by Heaven of the unquantified time delay in 1997, a delay later quantified through Mr. Gorbachev (2), he realized that a major time/event compression was to take place.
Throughout that ten year respite (as we wrote on our post 9-11 document (5) and the Note on the Akita document dated August 9, 2005 (6) - Men obviously have neither repented not bettered themselves), humanity forfeited the last opportunities that God was going to give it to change and make amends. Thus, the recent notification that: Please be advised that: The Warning, Miracle and Sign announced at the time of the Garabandal phenomena at San Sebastián de Garabandal, Spain, between 1961 and 1965 may not come to pass in the manner in which they were announced then.
Why God had not moved m de P to clearly and unequivocally state that before, we simply do not know. In retrospect, m de P was not really counting on them, although he was never moved to pronounce himself about it in this manner.
What is clear is that, given the compression of the time period in question, Mercifully granted by God, most of the best laid plans for the One World Order and One World Religion will go to waste. Reason?
...unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the
elect those days shall be shortened. [Matthew 24:22]
Regarding the symbolic fulfillment of the three events: Warning, Miracle and Sign...
As we published back on 2000 (7), miguel experienced a warning sometime between mid 1990 and Spring 1991; several individuals experienced the Miracle - Fr. Andreu, Fr. Pio and possibly John Paul II; and miguel experienced the Sign less than a month ago. Perhaps that last experience is what triggered his pronouncing himself about these matters on August 20th.
NOTES
(1) Remember, even satan must serve God. If George Bush, father, had been elected in
1992 instead of Clinton, the New World Order establishment would have gone into high gear -
although that would not have changed the "End Date".

[The Queenship of Mary]
From (Mr.) LP @ US
Since, according to you, the Sequence of Events includes a brief but devastating war, a war which could very well be triggered by a US/Israel and Iran conflict, there would be a historical precedent in play. We now are (literally) the rulers of (literal) Babylon, and the Iranians descend from the Medes and Persians of old.
Here’s the Biblical precedent. Selected key verses from Daniel 5: 1- 31 (1):
Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age. And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them. Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone. In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
...
Then was the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
...
Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation. Then Daniel was brought in before the king.
To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
...
Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things: But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down. And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
...
And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it. THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting. PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians. ... The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
...
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
(1) Daniel 5: 1- 31
If we – or Israel – start a war with Iran, we may soon see our own "mane, thecel" in the skies over our cities, with – as you have warned – Russia and China acting as the instruments of chastisement.
Aside from that, I noted that Darius was age 62 when he conquered Babylon. I wondered if the events of 1948 – 62 years ago – have a "coincidental" significance for our times.
Since Darius was born 62 years before the time God acted through him to conquer Babylon, I looked into what started (was "born" so to speak) 62 years ago; an event that may play the equivalent role in the End of These Times.
I found the following occurrences for the year 1948:
Events related to the current world hot-spots (and potential ignition points for World War Three):
- Israel declared independence – and was promptly invaded by Arab armies.
- Murder of Gandhi by a Hindu extremist; Gandhi had begun a fast-to-death to protest the genocidal Hindu-Muslim fighting after the partition of India and Pakistan.
- South Korean and North Korean republics founded.
- Treaty of Brussels signed; this was the precursor of NATO, the West’s anti-Soviet alliance.
- Communists take full control of Czechoslovakia.
- Truman signs the Marshall Plan, under which the US provided large-scale aid to Western Europe.
- The Soviets blockaded West Berlin, and the US and the UK responded with an airlift.
- Truman begins peacetime military draft for the US.
- Apartheid began in South Africa, with the victory of the Afrikaners’ National Party.
- Invention of random access storage devices for computers.
- Television ownership increased from 5,000 in 1945 to 1 million by 1948.
- Transistors put to commercial use (in radios).
- RAND Corporation founded.
- Birth of Al Gore.
- Birth of Prince Charles.
- US Supreme Court rules that religious instruction in public schools is unconstitutional.
- Hells Angels motorcycle gang begins.
- The UN established the World Health Organization and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- Beginning of globalist-style "free trade," with the start of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
- Foundation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
- Foundation of the Organization of American States (OAS).

Do you ever wonder... if God ever abandons to their fate those who trust in Him – regardless of the sinful state of their souls?
In 1 Samuel 4 we find a very sobering example on whether He does or does not...
1 Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines... 2 The Philistines deployed
their forces to meet Israel, and as the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who
killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield. 3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the
elders of Israel asked, "Why did the LORD bring defeat upon us today before the Philistines? Let
us bring the ark of the LORD's covenant from Shiloh, so that it [a] may go with us and save us
from the hand of our enemies."
4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim...
5 When the ark of the LORD's covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout that the ground shook. 6 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, "What's all this shouting in the Hebrew camp?"
When they learned that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp, 7 the Philistines were afraid. "A god has come into the camp," they said. "We're in trouble! Nothing like this has happened before. 8 Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the desert. 9 Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men, and fight!"
10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim...

10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
To understand the sins that led to this Chastisement, review 1 Samuel 2:11-20, 2:22-25, 2:27-36, and 3:10-14. Invoking the name of God as a talisman, while remaining in blatant and unrepentant defiance of His Will, is of no help to the petitioner.
It is not our intention to use scare tactics to Evangelize as Rome has used for 1600 years. However, it is indeed our intention to do all that is in our power to prevent surprises for a soul, when it would be too late to do anything about the situation that caused it.

The Warning, Miracle and Sign announced at Garabandal
may not come to pass in the manner in which they were announced then
From miguel de Portugal @ EU - US
Please be advised that: The Warning (1), Miracle (2) and Sign announced at the time of the Garabandal phenomena (3) at San Sebastián de Garabandal, Spain, between 1961 and 1965 may not come to pass in the manner in which they were announced then.
There is a very real possibility that the world is heading, without further ado, directly into the Chastisement, which was announced in Garabandal and Akita (4), and which we have independently confirmed several times since 1992.
We do not intend to explain, justify, or “do theology” regarding this notification any further at this time. We do, however, encourage each and every one of you to act upon it as it were the proverbial "Gospel Truth" - you have nothing to lose by heeding this advise, but much to lose if it is ignored.
This announcement should in no way - directly or indirectly - cast a doubt on the events of Garabandal which, without a doubt, were real and from Heaven. However, all must remember the Sovereignty of God; a sovereignty which He freely exercises as He sees how His children react to His entreaties, and how those who were entrusted with the Evangelization of His children have acted (5).
We suggest that the guidelines on "What to do?" that we published long ago (6) be taken out from the "Hope (it doesn't happen) Chest" and followed, now.
For those to whom God made a special promise associated with the Miracle, we say: Don't despair! God will keep His Word; maybe not in the manner that you were expecting, but He will.

Did you know that... according to Conchita - the principal Garabandal (1) visionary - "Shortly before the Miracle something will happen that will cause people to stop believing in Garabandal" (2) ?
Considering what we have explained regarding the utilization (3) of known-to-them key dates by the Church Administration, even the term "shortly" becomes very relative. However, it seems that more than one thing has happened for Garabandal believers to stop believing in its reality.
First: Communist Russia was to take over the world. However, people believe that the Soviet Empire (and their dark desires) really fell in 1989 at the beginning of the alleged Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Second: There were going to be only three more Popes after John XXIII before the End of These Times. However, people believe that Benedict XVI is a legitimate Pope (not the Anti Christ (4) paving the way for the False Christ (5) )
The first issue has not been "spun" much but the second issue has been "spun" to the extent of claiming that the End of These Times took place when John Paul II died.
Conclusion: Those two items – especially the second one – have chilled the faith most people had in the events and warnings of Garabandal. Therefore, the prophecy that "... before the Miracle something will happen that will cause people to stop believing in Garabandal" has been fulfilled.

From m de P @ EU and US
The year 2012, specifically the date of December 21, 2012, continues to be on the forefront of far too many people for their spiritual health. Therefore we thought it appropriate to remind our readers of certain statements we made in our document (1) addressing the Maya Calendar with key areas highlighted.
[footnotes in the quoted text may be found in the original document (1)]
We learn from John Major Jenkins' article that there is going to be a very unique galactic
alignment on that day which involves our whole Galaxy, our Sun, the Earth, etc. The details of
this alignment are outside of the scope of this document. What is necessary for us to share with
the reader is the following quote:
To which he kindly responded in confirmation:
Notice that Mr. Major Jenkins has stated that "...unless it was a humanly contrived event". This is precisely the reason why we had to address the Maya Calendar issue. Mr. Major Jenkins may be more spiritually illuminated than he is currently aware of.
It should be noted that because precession is a very slow process, similar
astronomical alignments will be evident on the winter solstice dates within perhaps 5 years on
either side of 2012. However, the accuracy of the conjunction of 2012 is quite
astounding, beyond anything deemed calculable by the ancient Maya, and serves well to represent
the perfect mid-point of the process.
We contacted Mr. Major Jenkins about this plus or minus 5 year period to ensure that we understood
what he meant. Our question was:
Do you speak of a "bell shaped probability curve" wherein the highest probability for this
event is in the year 2012 but that there is a high probability for "whatever is to take place" in
the period 2007 through 2017?
To which he kindly responded in confirmation:
You could very well conceive it as a bell shaped curve, but that would be the ideal.
Astrologers know there are offset trigger events, perhaps other events like eclipses and so
on. It is certainly not
realistic, in my view, to expect something specific on December 21, 2012, unless it was
a humanly contrived event.
Notice that Mr. Major Jenkins has stated that "...unless it was a humanly contrived event". This is precisely the reason why we had to address the Maya Calendar issue. Mr. Major Jenkins may be more spiritually illuminated than he is currently aware of.
Since his fall, satan has been preparing his comeback as "Savior". The information attributed to
the Maya had the end of the world being on December 21, 2012. Where from did the Maya acquire said
information has been explained within the already mentioned The Real Time Line of Creation -
From Its Beginning to Its End. [4]
As we have stated many times, it is the plan of the evil one to drive all inhabitants of this Earth to despair - to think that the world is about to end - so that he is well received as their Savior.
However, as many seem to always forget: There is only one God: an Omnipotent God Whom even satan (or extraterrestrial, if the reader so wishes) must serve. Therefore, the Faithful may rest assured that what is to come, The End of These Times - IS NOT of the world.
This schedule change [5] will catch those who are carefully planning the False Second Coming completely by surprise and, as they precipitate themselves to produce the False Christ ahead of their updated schedule [6], they will stumble and will achieve the deception for only a brief period, thus sparing many who would fall for the deception and who should not, in accordance to the listings in the Book of Life [7].
Indeed, Mr. Major Jenkins [8] , not realizing it, was right on target when he stated: "...in my view, to expect something specific on December 21, 2012, unless it was a humanly contrived event. "

Are you aware... of the Digital Drugs and their availability and effects?
Although some literature (1a) (1b) (1c) "with a face" downplays its
significance and effects, this is becoming an issue of concern in Europe.
Regardless what the literature "with a face" may say, we are well aware of the effects of sounds
(under and over the human range included) and sights (specially subliminal) have on the mind,
thus, we are "blowing the warning trumpet" about this new "technological advancement".
This, brethren, is the legacy of the technologically advanced, and spiritually retarded, humanity.
Can't you see why God cannot, and will not, allow humanity to go on unchecked?

Have you ever wondered why... Jesus said, after expelling a demon from a possessed individual [Luke 11:14-15]:
[20] But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon
you. ...[31] The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation,
and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Solomon; and behold more than Solomon here. [Luke
11] ?
Why Solomon and not Moses or Abraham?
Within the last 24 hours we have been guided to the reason why He used that comparison. We shall explain...
At the time Jesus walked amongst us there was a story - The Testament of Solomon (1) - which was very well known amongst the Jews of that time. Said story - and its later enhancements - became a religious text which never made it to any of the official versions of the Old Testament. However, it certainly was part of the religious traditions of the time.
In said text, (2), which is rather tedious and repetitive, an angel gave Solomon a special ring, sent to the king by God. The power - central to this book - is that, through it, demons were subjected to Solomon by Divine Command. Even the much mentioned Beelzebub, the prince of devils, is subjected to Solomon.
Therefore, Jesus was referring to the stories contained in The Testament of Solomon tradition. That is - if Solomon was empowered to command evil spirits, why not He Who was "more than Solomon"?
In addition to adding coherence/logic to Jesus' statement "and behold more than Solomon here", it has answered something that had mystified m de P for nearly ten years regarding a certain ring. It also confirmed what m de P has known for many years, something which our readers may have read many times: Even satan must serve God, for God is above all!
A note of caution - The Testament of Solomon is a symbolic (3) religious writing and not a literal religious writing. Therefore, the reader should not ascribe a literal sense to it which would then be considered approved by Jesus through his reference to it. However, its symbolism is real, precisely for what it has confirmed/clarified to m de P.

Have you heard that... China overtook Japan in the 2nd quarter of 2010 as the No. 2 world economy? (1)
Japan lost its place as the world's No. 2 economy to China in the second quarter as receding
global growth sapped momentum and stunted a shaky recovery.
Gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of just 0.4 percent, the government said Monday, far below the annualized 4.4 percent expansion in the first quarter and adding to evidence the global recovery is facing strong headwinds.

[Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin
Mary]
From (Mrs.) I(nitials) W(ithheld) @ US
I found your article about Regnum Christi (1) and posted it on my fb page.
Pray for me and my family. St. Michael pray for us!
I was being harassed by these people without even realizing it until being alerted by the Holy Spirit and my common sense of reason. They have really done me in, gossip wise, so hopefully they will leave us alone even though I have put that page up.
I have tried to advocate for years for children with intellectual disabilities to have access to schools and specifically in our catholic schools. Really, WHO would be against including children with disabilities at a catholic school and why? It wasn't just the people who were afraid of change...that is a fallacy put forth by these spin doctors.
When I did finally connect the dots, it was a person who was acting like a friend, but always having to have info about me, who tried to totally discredit me and even some of my five children. I did ask myself frequently "Would Jesus call our fellow parishioner a watchdog in lipstick?" It obviously was split personality type of individual I was dealing with.
God, Our Heavenly Father, protected the children. I have been brought closer in communion with the mystical body of Christ as a result. I cannot share with you the number of crazy things that they tried to do to me... I have thought about writing it in a book, but it would turn people away from the church. I thought about contacting the FBI, but I thought they would have more pull there. Unbelievable.
I have publicly warned the school and others about the group and now there are more people involved. They cannot take Jesus away from us. I love Him. Of course children with disabilities are still systematically "culled" from the school. People really throw blinders up on some of the authority or they just pay me lip service when they say that they care.
God bless your foundation. I will pray. I know that God expects a lot out of us. Our families need to be able to understand scripture, discern our vocations, and live the Truth as a witness for all and it's a struggle so please pray for us.
In the hope of all of God's children through adoption,

A. Thank you for your testimonial, especially because your letter serves for others as a:
(a) Confirmation to what our document about Regnum Christi (1) warns others
about.
(b) Good example of what we mean when we state that the only assurance anyone has to minimize the suffering triggered by satan's snares is to have the Holy Spirit of God in residence in one's heart and soul. The longer it takes one of the Elect to realize that he/she is being ensnared, the more suffering they will be subjected to (2) until the individual finally sees the light. It was the Holy Spirit of God Who helped you in connecting the proverbial dots and to then see the hidden truth about them.
(c) Reminder to us why our Domains, with nearly a thousand documents, must remain on-line until God decides otherwise.
(d) Witness that denial (3) and "lip service" reign supreme in our parishes. Actually - almost everything reigns in our parishes except Jesus Christ, Who has been relegated to being "a means to an end". Tragically, the parishioners do not realize that by doing so the "end" in question will be their own.

In keeping with the principle... of "These days, given two choices, a world leader will choose what is most damaging to self and to the country or institution he/she leads" , President Obama has come out fully supporting the building of the Muslim Center around the corner from Ground Zero in New York City.
(1)
As we have stated before on this forum, this is not a matter of religious freedom. It is a matter of pouring iodized salt onto a city’s open wounds - wounds which will take (were there time available) a full generation to heal.
Politically, it is suicide for President Obama and the Democratic Party... assuming, of course, that for X, Y or Z reasons plans are afoot to invoke Martial Law in the US. Were that the case, the political damage to him and the Democratic Party would be of no consequence.

Thank you for your consideration.
LM
Thank you for your consideration.
LM
A. Unfortunately we do not know how to add a print size indicator to our documents, however, the following tips may help.
For Microsoft Browser users:
On the tool bar go to "View" and click on "Text Size". Once at that point adjust the
text/font size that is more conformable to your eyes.
For Firefox Browser users:
On the tool bar go to "View" and click on "Zoom". Once at that point click on "Zoom
In" and it will increase the text/font size every time you click on it.
Of course, this will help with anything that you may have on your screen - not just the pages of The M+G+R Foundation.

[Mary, Refuge of Sinners]
From miguel de Portugal @ EU - US
On June 30th, 2008 we published the following: (1)
We received a letter from a collaborator whose sincerity, honesty and assistance we value greatly.
He had a very valid question which - in edited form - we reproduce below:
This is what we answered him - straight from the heart:
Here is what we suggest that you do...
Psychologically, that covenant with yourself will give you a measure of comfort, and a reassurance to those who are not "inside your head" - those who cannot see what you can see - that if what you are seeing now does not materialize there is an "end point" in sight and not one of those "never ending projects".
(1) Which obviously m de P is not.
If I think that I can help you and your mission more - Is it safe, in Eternity terms, to step
aside from the "world" i.e. - staying a good worker, a good husband, etc. but at the same time
redirect all effort (free time I had and time I spend on personal projects) in preparations to
what is to come by prayer plus more time spent on what I have been doing to assist you (m de P) up
to now and related work?
This is what we answered him - straight from the heart:
Here is what we suggest that you do...
It is easier to a devoted, but normal (1), human
being to function in the world, thus "...staying a good worker, good husband etc.", while focusing
on what is to come and the preparation required, if deadlines are set. For example - you
can say to yourself and to your wife:
"I will place all effort (free time I have and time I spend on personal projects) in
preparation for what is to come by prayer as well as more time spent in helping m de P with what I
have been doing up to now plus related work, while staying a good worker, good husband etc.
under the following conditions:
If within 18 months from today the world is not in the obvious grip of a global apocalyptic type
crisis of the natures that have been announced, I will change priorities and greatly de-emphasize
the amount of time spent in helping m de P with what I have been doing up to now, plus related
work, and take more time for relaxation and personal projects.
Psychologically, that covenant with yourself will give you a measure of comfort, and a reassurance to those who are not "inside your head" - those who cannot see what you can see - that if what you are seeing now does not materialize there is an "end point" in sight and not one of those "never ending projects".
We feel that this is just and fair for all who are part of your life-orbit.
May those who have Eyes, See and Ears, Hear...

Eighteen months from June 30th, 2008, was December 30th, 2009. By that time the financial titans of Wall Street and world economy had collapsed to a point which is beyond repair. On that basis alone, our suggested "check point" indicates that, yes, the world is free falling into the abyss without remedy.
That is without even considering the adverse political, military, religious, and ecological events occurring within the time frame given. Only those who refuse to face reality will deny it.

Did you know that... the "grapevine" is picking up on the fact that Mr. Wikileak is "a plant"? (1)
Wikileaks founder and “Editor-in-chief”, Julian Assange, is a mysterious 29-year-old Australian about whom little is known. He has suddenly become a prominent public figure, and is offering to mediate with the White House over the leaks.
Following the latest leaks, Assange told Der Spiegel, one of three outlets with which he shared material from the most recent leak, that the documents he had unearthed would “change our perspective on not only the war in Afghanistan, but on all modern wars.” He stated in the same interview that ‘”I enjoy crushing bastards.” Wikileaks, founded in 2006 by Assange, has no fixed home and Assange claims he “lives in airports these days.”
Yet a closer examination of the public position of Assange on one of the most controversial issues of recent decade – the forces behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center – shows him to be curiously establishment. When the Belfast Telegraph interviewed him on July 19, he stated,
"Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are
conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It's important not to confuse
these two..." What about 9/11?: "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false
conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or
mass financial fraud." What about the Bilderberg Conference?: "That is vaguely conspiratorial, in
a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes."
The M+G+R Foundation comments: We do not necessarily agree with the
purposes listed by US-hating Global Research but the fact is that "the cat is out of the
bag" about Mr. Wikileak. We wonder how long it may be before Fidel Castro picks it up too.(1) Article

When will happen the Warning and other things predicted in Medjugorje?
From (Mr.) TK @ US
I am not sure how I found this (because I don't keep up with the current Medjugorje messages or updates on Medjugorje), but on their web page under "Overview" (1) I found this:
When each of the six visionaries has received all ten "secrets", Our Lady will stop appearing
to them on a daily basis. Currently, Marija, Vicka, and Ivan have received nine secrets, and Our
Lady still appears to them every day, wherever they are, at 5:40 pm during daylight savings time,
and 6:40 pm the rest of the year. Mirjana, Jakov, and Ivanka have received all ten secrets, and
Our Lady appears to them once per year, and will do so for the rest of their lives. For Ivanka who
received her 10th secret on May 7, 1985 it is on the anniversary of the apparitions, June 25 each
year. For Jakov who received his 10th secret on September 12, 1998, it is on Christmas day each
year. And for Mirjana who received her 10th secret on Christmas 1982, it is on her birthday, March
18 each year.
Our Lady has also been appearing to Mirjana on the 2nd of each month since August 2, 1987 for the purpose of praying for all unbelievers. Mirjana tells us that it is very important that all of us pray for the unbelievers in the world, who are described as those who have not yet experienced God's love. Sometimes these appearances on the 2nd of each month are apparitions, and sometimes locutions. No one knows when Our Lady will give the tenth secret to Marija, Ivan, and Vicka.

I understand you think that what happened early at this apparition was true but it has changed due to the commercialization for profit. But, do you agree that things (like the warning) will not happen until all 6 visionaries have the 10 secrets? As I said before I have not studied Medjugorje and I was not familiar with the above statement. You can read the entire overview if you like located at the site listed above.
Thanks for your time.
TK
A. Thank you for asking for what we should have done some time ago.
As we have illustrated in another document (2), once man starts manipulating Heaven's Apparitions and Messages "all bets are off": dates as well as pre-conditions.
At this point all that can be believed - we assure you - is:
(a) There will be a Warning (3) but not necessarily in the exact manner
described by the Garabandal visionaries.
(b) There will be a Miracle (4) (5) and Sign, but also not necessarily in the exact manner described by the Garabandal visionaries.
(c) There will be a chastisement that will take what we call "civilization" back to the post Noah's Flood state.
(b) There will be a Miracle (4) (5) and Sign, but also not necessarily in the exact manner described by the Garabandal visionaries.
(c) There will be a chastisement that will take what we call "civilization" back to the post Noah's Flood state.
Outside of that we suggest to one and all that: Whatever was allegedly said by Mary and was printed originally must now be taken with a grain of salt, with the exception of what we have stated (a), (b), and (c) above.
God is not going to allow man to manipulate (for the benefit of satan) the information Mary brought to Her children in a effort to help us. You may be absolutely sure of that.

They say that bacteria which makes an enzyme called NDM-1 have traveled back with NHS patients who
went abroad to countries like India and Pakistan for treatments such as cosmetic surgery.
Although there have only been about 50 cases identified in the UK so far, scientists fear it will go global.
Tight surveillance and new drugs are needed says Lancet Infectious Diseases.

just in time for... the World Health Organization announcement that the H1N1 swine flu pandemic has now officially ended. (2)
The world is moving into the "post-pandemic period" with global levels of H1N1 transmission now at
an intensity similar to that of the seasonal flu, WHO's director-general, Dr. Margaret Chan,
said.
all the while... the government of Spain is destroying six million dosages of the H1N1 vaccines which originally cost over 60 million USD because the manufacturers think it best to do so instead of reusing them.
The M+G+R Foundation comments: It is getting harder and harder to muster any respect for the allegedly educated humans who claim to be leading the world (to hell?). Meanwhile, our pity for those uneducated and ill informed souls who trust in these leaders increases exponentially. Blessedly we trust in Divine Mercy as much as in Divine Justice (both implemented through Divine Action - not by man).

[Begining of Ramadan]
Did you know that... the apparently innocuous phrase: "One can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ?
This is why...
Because honey attracts "all types of flies" including those who are not to be saved. Didn't He say - in no uncertain terms:
11 And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to
them that are without, all things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be
converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. [Mark 4:11-12]
Those who can See and Hear will "cut through the vinegar" and get to the heart of the message. The rest, well, you know...
Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [Matthew
22:13]
Therefore, we must be ready with an ample supply of the oil of consolation and the wine of renewed
hope for those who are able "cut through the vinegar".Without a doubt we may have unintentionally bruised some sensitivities and for that we profoundly apologize. However, we apologize for the "form of delivery" but certainly not for the "contents delivered".
Do you ever wonder... from whence will the enemy come that will take the mighty USA down?
Wonder no more. Abraham Lincoln (1) had the answer:
At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against
it? – Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a
blow? Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.(2) It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

Did you know that... Benedict XVI is technically Benedict XV? (1) (2)
Benedict is a conflicted papal name. Two Pope Benedicts have resigned.
The actual number of Pope Benedicts is technically incorrect. Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, is actually only the fifteenth Pope Benedict.
* In 964, after one month in office, Benedict V abdicated the throne at the insistence of Emperor
Otto I.
* Pope Benedict IX served three different terms between 1032 and 1048, when he resigned. He was charged with simony and excommunicated by his successor, Leo IX.
* There is no legitimate Benedict X in the line of papal succession. A "Benedict X" who acted as pope for nine months in 1058 was declared an anti-pope and excommunicated.

...the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland launched a scathing attack on U.S.
politicians on Sunday, saying they were in no moral position to lecture Scottish ministers over
the Lockerbie bomber's release? (1)
Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, said there was a "culture of
vengeance" in the United States and that many Americans were more interested in retribution than
justice.Do Americans have a "culture of vengeance" because the American people put its foot down, kicked out Cardinal Law (2) and stopped allowing them from using our children as "flesh toys"?

We deeply regret that the appropriate authorities in New York City have approved the building of a large mosque "just around the corner" from Ground Zero.
Right or wrong: we are not passing judgment about this in absolute terms. However, such action will be like sprinkling salt in the psychological wounds of far too many people in New York.
We have spoken highly about the pure version (non fanatical branches) of Islam (1) – but this is not an intellectual or theological issue; it is a "gut wrenching" issue.

You recently stated that Bishop Ussher's timeline of creation was still valuable as a way of conveying (symbolically) truths about the course of human history and the end of the age and the end of the world.
Here is another instance ... the Roman Martyrology's chronology (1), as read out for Christmas day - Dec 25
Quote:
in the 5199th year of the creation of the world, from the time when in the beginning God created
heaven and earth; from the flood, the 2957th year; from the birth of Abraham, the 2015th year;
from Moses and the going-out of the people of Israel from Egypt, the 1510th year; from the
anointing of David as king, the 1032nd year; in the 65th week according to the prophecy of Daniel;
in the 194th Olympiad; from the founding of the city of Rome, the 752nd year; in the 42nd year of
the rule of Octavian Augustus, when the whole world was at peace, in the sixth age of the world:
Jesus Christ, the eternal God and Son of the eternal Father, desiring to sanctify the world by His
most merciful coming, having been conceived by the Holy Ghost, and nine months having passed since
His conception (A higher tone of voice is now used, and all kneel) was born in Bethlehem of Juda
of the Virgin Mary, having become man.
Therefore: 5199 BC plus 2832 AD adds up to 8,031 years of Creation, from its beginning to its end. I think this ties in to the symbolic "eighth day of Creation" related to Christ's kingdom.
And those "extra" 31 years are a close match to the 33 years of Christ's earthly life.

God could not be more explicit... about the consequences to be faced by those responsible for the failed Evangelization. In today's Mass Catholics will hear this:
[our underscoring]
And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all? And the
Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth
over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season? Blessed is that
servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing. Verily I say to you, he will set
him over all that he possesseth. But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is
long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink
and be drunk:
The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers. And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 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 12:41-48]

For those who may doubt the promises of Jesus Christ such as:
And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first. [Matthew
19:30]
and
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land [Matthew
5:4]
and
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
[Matthew 5:6]
and
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [Matthew
5:7]
and many others, consider the following...
It was a very Christian Spain who first loaded Africans in their cargo ships as if they were animals, to transport them to America as slaves.
Today, Spain is literally "at the feet" of the descendant of slaves who is, technically, the most influential woman of the world: Mrs. Michelle Obama, the wife of the (technically) most powerful man in this planet, President Barack Obama. Mrs. Obama is currently taking a very short vacation in the resort area of Marbella, Spain.
Once again we remind one and all that Jesus Christ did not talk just to talk like TV "talking heads". All that He promised and foretold has, is and will come to pass - without exception.

Do you know that... the Russian Foreign Ministry said on its web site the United States had been in breach of several arms-related treaties including the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I) and a treaty on conventional weapons? (1)
"During the START I period, the United States failed to resolve Russia's concerns over how this
treaty was being fulfilled," the ministry said, citing a long list of what it called
irregularities, including a U.S. failure to provide information on ballistic missiles trials.
The ministry also said secret information from the U.S. Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory had ended up at the hands of a drug dealing gang in 2006.
"The peculiarity of the incident was that, unlike in several other such cases —when nuclear secrets were obtained by foreign intelligence services— now they were found by police with a criminal group connected to the drug trade," it said.
The ministry also said checks conducted by a U.S. government body in July 2010 revealed that several institutions dealing with viruses had failed to provide enough security measures to prevent an intruder from entering their facilities.
The Foreign Ministry also alleged that some 1,500 sources of ionizing radiation were lost in the U.S. between 1996 and 2001.
"In 2004, it was revealed that Pacific Gas and Electric Company lost three segments of wasted fuel rods, used at Hamboldt Bay nuclear power station," it said in the 11-page report.
The documents also castigates U.S. for research into biological weapons and smallpox.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: What that simple news report doesn't tell the reader is that it was published only in Russian without a translation to English and that the full text reads - as a Russian specialist stated on BBC - as a list of grievances aimed at justifying "something". The Russian specialist did not go beyond that since he was puzzled as to why after the Russian-US relations were "reset" Russia officially blasts the US policies. Of course, to us, this is the most logical and coherent thing to do considering their plans.

Do you know that... there have been almost no fatal cases of vitamin D overdose reported for more than sixty years? (1)
Of course, we are speaking of a real overdose, in the order of hundreds of thousands or
millions of IU's. Some overdoses happened to overzealous users, and at least one was due to a
manufacturer’s error: instead of adding 2,000 IU of the vitamin to a batch of Gary Null's
Power Meals, the manufacturer added 1,000 times more, causing each Power Meal to
contain 2,000,0000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving!

Contrary to efforts... by some individuals and institutions to use “contradictions” in the Bible to prove the New Testament wrong, the truth "flies in their face" over and over again?
For example...
(a) When Jesus stated: Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall
not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. [Matthew
16:28] He was referring to the moment of Transfiguration and not to His Second
Coming.
(b) Those who claim that Jesus had blood brothers and sisters - as we understand today such blood relations - say that (i) Joseph was a widower and when he married Mary he brought along his children from the first marriage; or (ii) Mary and Joseph had children after the birth of Jesus.
(b) Those who claim that Jesus had blood brothers and sisters - as we understand today such blood relations - say that (i) Joseph was a widower and when he married Mary he brought along his children from the first marriage; or (ii) Mary and Joseph had children after the birth of Jesus.
Assuming option (i)...
Why the alleged children of Joseph did not go with Jesus, Mary and Joseph to Egypt when they had
to escape Herod? Surely a mention would have been made somewhere about them.
Where were these alleged brothers and sisters when Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem for the census? Their presence would have certainly been mentioned due to the accomodations problem.
Didn't they go to Jerusalem on the trip that Jesus stayed in the Temple and Joseph and Mary had to return looking for him? It is hard to believe that the absence of Jesus was not noted by so many people - especially his alleged older siblings.

We are sure that many other scenarios could be set up to show the absurdity of this concept of Jesus' brothers and sisters.
It is not a matter of blindly believing the Holy Scriptures; it is a matter of knowing the Holy Scriptures so that those faith-destroying rumors can be exposed for what they are.
Incidentally - at the time of the Final Judgement, God will be using the Sacred Scriptures (1) as the reference and not the Catechism. Even though we speak highly of the Roman Catholic Church Catechism (2), it is not a substitute for the Sacred Scriptures.

[Transfiguration of Our Lord,
First Friday of the Month and
Anniversary of the Nuclear Devastation in Hiroshima,
Japan]
Where would you find... a radical Biblical example of placing God above all?
Believe it or not it was not Abraham. The request - and obedient response - to sacrifice his son Isaac to God was the result of having shown lack of faith in God before. Such Divine request was the "invoice" God presented to Abraham for his the past failings in faith matters.
It is his nephew Lot who should make us "stop and think", and think hard, about what it really means to place God above all.
Let us review part of Lot’s story:
[our underscoring]
And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of the city.
And seeing them, he rose up and went to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the
ground, And said: I beseech you, my lords, turn in to the house of your servant, and
lodge there... But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house... And they called
Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? bring them out
hither that we may know them.
Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said: Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil. I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men... [Gen 19: 1-8]
Lot went out to them, and shut the door after him, and said: Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil. I have two daughters who as yet have not known man: I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men... [Gen 19: 1-8]
Although Lot's limited knowledge of the metaphysical domain did not allow him to fully understand "these men" and the awesome power at their command, not to mention the lack of a real material body - he certainly knew that they were from/of God since they were worthy "... to meet them: and worshipped prostrate to the ground ...". He was clearly placing them above his beloved and virginal daughters whom he was willing to turn over to the animal like residents of Sodom in order to protect "these men" who were from/of God.
No, this is not "another sexist story from the allegedly male centered Bible" as some would claim. This is a living example of what placing God above what is dearest to us really means.

From (Mr.) IW @ US
In the FYI & R of August 3rd (1), the ECUSA's "Women's Eucharist" written by Glenn Ruppe-Melnyck was mentioned.
It might interest you to know that I personally knew ‘Glyspa’ and her husband 'Oakwyse' (Walter William Melnyk) (2)(2a)(2b), both Episcopal priests, via professional contact.
Long before their Pagan/Druid identity was made public, I was made aware of their occult identity and activities by both observation and a tip-off from a person connected with the occult in the region (3).
Melnyk’s personal (and very high ranking) Masonic involvement comes as no real surprise. It serves to explain the ease with which he was quickly accepted into more than one Episcopal Church diocese, and given parish assignments ahead of other candidates. It also explains his ready acceptance from certain ECUSA bishops.
The main point of referencing his 'fraternal' associations is that his personality and aura of absolute confidence of backing from 'godfathers' is virtually identical to certain Catholic priests I have known. There is also an otherwise inexplicable coziness of certain Catholic & Episcopal clerics.
I am not implying that such clerics are all literal members of regular Freemasonry. Instead, I suspect that there is connectivity through Ecclesiastical Freemasonry. On one level such networking explains how members of "A" and "B", who have no other link, could know each other.
The other crucial point of commonality is that certain ECUSA and Catholic clerics are completely duplicitous. They make complete pretense of 'belief in God'; while in fact their faith is in... something else. Both are following clandestine agendas (highly compartmentalized), which are the complete inverse of the words from their lips and pens. They are sent in to subvert if not destroy the congregations they are assigned to. Both Melnyks did so in their respective parishes, leaving havoc in their wake. All of this was with the knowledge and enabling of their superiors.
The knowledge of (yet rejection of) God, plus gross Duplicity and Inversion, are the marks of the Demonic; and of the Luciferian (not merely 'satanist') mode.

[Feast of Our Lady of Snows - Dedication of

From LP @ US
As you requested, I was proof-reading the document posted on the Board (1)
with the August 4th date. I noticed a statement that caught my attention. You wrote::
"...the deceptions that permeate the world as the forty-two month period marches
on."
This document, originally published on November 6, 2006, references to the biblical 42 months
which you said were in progress at that time. If the 42 months began on November 6, 2006, then
42x30 days (= 1260 days), would have ended on April 19, 2010. If the 42 months began prior to
November 6, 2006,, the end point of that period would have been sometime before April 19,
2010.
Would you care to explain this?

A. (once again!) Thank you for the opportunity to clarify that point.
As we have said many times, miguel is just a "gofer" for God (a "go between") and, more often than not, once a document has been written "on command" and has been published, it is forgotten. When this document surfaced in the Domain Statistics as being frequently visited miguel had no idea of its contents. Once printed and read, he fully agreed with its contents although he only had a vague recollection of writing it. That is why it was republished yesterday since it is even more critical now than it was back in 2006. The only part that puzzled him was precisely the point that you have raised in your letter.
Why the puzzle? As you may recall, many years ago miguel made a serious mistake by placing an event within a time bracket; a mistake publicly acknowledged (2) and for which God made miguel's word good - with dramatic symbolism. Because of that, miguel has been very careful in making any time frame statements which are too specific.
Therefore - what was that forty-two months statement doing there? As we have explained elsewhere, just like with Daniel's seventy weeks, those forty-two months symbolize "months" as well as "years". As we have also explained elsewhere, the symbolic 1,000 year Reign of Christ must have quietly started in 1832 since the real End will be in 2832. Therefore, there was a possibility that the end of the forty-two month period (which does not necessarily call for some specific and grandiose manifested event) was as quiet as the beginning of the 1,000 year Reign.
That still did not "feel" good - even though the above are theo-logical explanations that would justify why he made that statement in violation of his imposed vow of silence after the mistake alluded to above.
When one is just a "gofer" - the only course of action is to present oneself before the One Who does "the sending" and ask... and miguel did, right after consuming the Body and Blood of Christ during the Divine Liturgy.
The response - applicable to this case in particular - came before the question could be finished: Not only the biblical forty-two month period may be taken as: (a) forty-two months or (b) forty-two years, but it can also be taken as (c) a symbolic finite, but short, period within the apocalyptic schedule.
Whether option (c) applies to the other Biblical numbers like seven, seventy, 1260, etc. miguel does not know for he was not informed about it. Anything that we may say about that would a 100% personal opinion... and as for opinions... the world is already drowning with them, therefore miguel will not add one more to the flood.

A. Ah, yes... the refusal of humanity to call a spade "Spade"... a refusal which feeds the news media which, in turn, is denounced by humanity for sugar coating or blocking the news.
Let's cut through the mush and get to the core of this problem.
miguel de Portugal was not called by God away from a type of life which most humans do not even know exists, and into a new life of great material hardship, in order to continue sugar coating the truth and lying to the children of God. (Such lying is what the Roman Catholic Church Administration has been doing for the last 1600 years, to the extent that they are directly responsible for plunging the world into World War II (3).)
We are here to "call it as it is" just as our Heavenly Mother has been doing since the 19th century (4). The difference is that She has been turned into a profit center for the already monumentally rich Roman Catholic Church, and Her messages turned into pure theo-syrup. In the case of miguel, they will have to silence him (which they have already tried to do, in a radical manner) – and they will do so at the end, albeit temporarily.
Now then... Imagine...
(a) This lady had breast cancer and her oncologist chose to soften the diagnostic because he felt
that she simply could not psychologically endure the mastectomy. Gave her a mild treatment and
hoped "that the cancer would go away"... it didn't, the cancer spread and now she was at death
doors and the only option was radical mastectomy; or
(b) This gentleman has developed a sudden and rapidly advancing illness. After a thorough examination and testing, the physician realizes that it is a terminal case. He sees no point in "ruining" the few weeks this gentleman has to live, therefore he sends the patient home with "a clean bill of health", a few placebo pills and a recommendation to "enjoy life". In two months the gentleman is under six feet of earth at the local cemetery but... where is his soul? or How much longer will he have to stay in Purgatory for not having settled accounts with God the easy way... while still in the flesh?

Brutal as it may sound - what you read above, and worse, happens. Yes, with the best intentions... the same ones mentioned in the old adage: The way to hell is paved with good intentions.
This is the Apocalypse! It is going to feel like hell (literally speaking) on Earth. There is no need to despair since mankind's true hope and recourse is God - Who IS Almighty - and all else is hash.
Take or leave it! That is the decision of each one who come across our pages who, by the way, receives ample consolation and reassurances through the many, many documents that we have published over the last twelve years.
Again we remind one and all that...
...unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required... [Luke
12:48]
miguel will not spend one day in Purgatory for not having blown the trumpets until his lips bled!
Period!
(1) In the coming Tribulation, most of us will die; the survivors will suffer
severely until the Return of Christ. That's a hard message to receive.
What consoles me as I face this prospect is this: "But, as it is written: That eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared
for them that love him." (1 Corinthians 2:9). Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled. You
believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would
have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. And if I shall go, and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be." (John
14:1-3)
We who follow Christ will go to a place prepared for us by Him, to be with Him; at His Return, he will take us to Himself. In the document on this site that summarizes the Scriptural teachings on the Return of Christ (2) there is further evidence of the joy that awaits Christ's faithful.

When end time events proceed down a more immediately perilous and frightening course, not that we aren't close to that right now, then the task will be for those so chosen to reach out and counsel and attempt to save those souls who are conflicted over what direction they should follow - whether to become a slave to the Antichrist and the One World agenda, no matter how distasteful it will become, or whether to release themselves to God's care and turn away from the world.

Did you know that... Benedict XVI has tapped an American, Joseph William Tobin, to oversee Catholic religious orders around the world? (1)
As head of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life,
one of the Vatican's nine departments, Tobin, 58, will oversee the more than 300 Catholic orders
around the world.
The orders of monks and nuns as well as lay people who live a common life under the leadership of a religious superior number around a million.
Comments by sender of news clip: More ties between the world's Babylon and spiritual
Babylon. It is my understanding that the Curia now has more Americans in at high levels than ever;
the phenomenon extends beyond Levada (2) and Law
(3).The orders of monks and nuns as well as lay people who live a common life under the leadership of a religious superior number around a million.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments: From the "tip of the iceberg" that we have shown (4), it should be obvious that the pro-Opus Dei groups have a grip on the power centers of the US – including the Supreme Court. (The nine-member Court now has six Catholics, and no Protestants. Four of these Catholics – Alito, Roberts, Thomas, and Scalia – are “devout” rightists who openly travel in pro-Opus Dei circles.)
Logically, utilizing the Vatican capacity for emotional blackmail and the worldwide prestige and power of the US, as their combined spring board, it follows that their control of the main power centers worldwide, PRC excluded, will be almost complete.

Did you know that... some factions of the Episcopal Church in the US (ECUSA) have slipped into full-fledged paganism? (1)
[our highlights]
The seeds of the controversy were sown on October 8, 2004, when ECUSA's Office of Women's
Ministries (OWM) posted "A Women's Eucharist: A Celebration of the Divine Feminine" and a "Liturgy
for Divorce" on its section of the national church web site.
The "Women's Eucharist"–written by Glyn Ruppe-Melnyk, an ECUSA priest since 1993–made no mention of Christ, or of his Body and Blood. Instead, it praised "Mother God," menstrual blood and lactating breasts, and offered up milk and honey, and raisin cakes. The latter were presented with the words: "Mother God, our ancient sisters called you Queen of Heaven and baked these cakes in your honor in defiance of their brothers and husbands who would not see your feminine face. We offer you these cakes, made with our own hands."
This same rite has been on a Druid web site since 1998; its author was (until the scandal broke) listed as being Glispa – a Druid name for Mrs. Melnyk.
The "Women's Eucharist"–written by Glyn Ruppe-Melnyk, an ECUSA priest since 1993–made no mention of Christ, or of his Body and Blood. Instead, it praised "Mother God," menstrual blood and lactating breasts, and offered up milk and honey, and raisin cakes. The latter were presented with the words: "Mother God, our ancient sisters called you Queen of Heaven and baked these cakes in your honor in defiance of their brothers and husbands who would not see your feminine face. We offer you these cakes, made with our own hands."

God spoke thus through Jeremiah: Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand me: for I will not hear thee. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger. [Jeremiah 7: 16-18]
The M+G+R Foundation comments: In spite of the New Testament teachings Jeremiah did not misquote God when he spoke thus: "...do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them."
You may think:
What about Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute
and calumniate you. [Matthew 5:44]
What about the insistence from Heaven - through Mary - to pray for the conversion of sinners?
What about the insistence from Heaven - through Mary - to pray for the conversion of sinners?
Those who may hate or persecute you, or the sinners, atheists and those who worship other gods (because they have not been Evangelized) have not necessarily rejected the true God as the raisin cakes set have done. Their actions are a direct rejection of everything they have learned from the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, it is because of this that God instructed us not to pray for them.
This is a parallel situation found in: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. [Mark 3:29]
By blaspheming (rejecting) the Holy Spirit of God an individual denies the Only One Who can forgive his/her sins - thus forgiveness would be impossible. This, of course, can be reversed if the individual in question realizes his/her error and presents him/herself before God with a contrite and sorrowful heart before body and soul separation - also known as "death".

Have you heard that... the United Arab Emirates, citing security concerns, said Sunday that it would suspend BlackBerry mobile services like e-mail and text messaging beginning in October? (1)
The Emirates have been in a long dispute with Research In Motion, the smartphone’s producer,
over the BlackBerry’s highly encrypted data system, which offers security to users but makes it
more difficult for governments to monitor communications.
Other smartphones, like the Apple iPhone, are not tied to one e-mail service. In general, that means e-mail to and from the devices mostly travel over the open Internet and can be relatively easily monitored.
But the BlackBerry uses highly encrypted data that is received by wireless carriers’ towers and is immediately routed through a closed, global network operated by the company.
Because of this level of security, the United States government allows many military and law enforcement employees to send confidential messages by BlackBerry, but it also makes surveillance correspondingly difficult.

Summary of observations regarding the impending Tribulation
From (Mr.) LP @ US
I read your letter of July 29, and your FYI&R post of July 31(1), and thought about the meaning of these warnings. With the severity of events at hand, some implications came out for me:
1. Until now, God has delayed the full manifestation of the sequence of events that you warned of
in 1992 – although some events have begun to occur symbolically (as 9/11 symbolized the events
of the first step, and as the placement of Escriva’s statue in the
Vatican wall on Sept/14/2005 symbolized the ninth step). Now, time
is up. There will be “no more delay” (Revelation 10:6) in the start of the Tribulation. The
long-warned steps of the sequence will very soon occur in their full reality, not symbolically;
devastating events will follow each other with bewildering speed. All in all, we are just about to
endure the worldwide Chastisement, a punishment greater than the
Deluge.
2. Very few people anywhere will survive through this Tribulation.
3. For most of us, suffering and death are imminent.
4. Therefore, our first task is to get right with God and with our neighbor.
5. Prayer must be the first priority for preparation; little time remains for this.
6. Under these circumstances, physical preparation (beyond the basic level you have suggested in this document) is irrelevant. Neither a fallout shelter nor a well-stocked rural bunker will guarantee survival.
7. In the pending worldwide Tribulation, no physical refuge is guaranteed to provide safety. The only refuge will be provided by God.
8. Political action and organizing are irrelevant now. In particular, for us Americans, the old Republic will not be restored.
9. People must be prepared to be deprived of the institutional forms of religion that they have become accustomed to and reliant upon. This is for two reasons: (a) these structures will be destroyed – or worse, (b) they will survive, and be co-opted by evil (in particular, by the false "Christ" and his “supreme religious deception” ).
10. The Tribulation will destroy the organizations and the technical structure of the present world system. This is necessary because:
If God allowed us to continue fouling our own nest as we are doing now, we would become extinct by our own hand (with our spiritual extinction paralleling our physical extinction). Because we (and our leaders) failed to repent in time, we painted ourselves into a corner. No way out of our lethal, self-created predicament exists other than the pending Divine radical surgery. In other words, the tribulation is a “severe mercy” from God, and not a “divine tantrum.”
11. As you have warned over the years, the US has become the economic, political, and military Babylon of our time. Our beloved country (I am an American) will meet the doom that Jeremiah prophesied, and that John saw in Revelation 18. The Vatican has become a religious Babylon; it too will fall suddenly, never to rise again. Babylon’s “body” (the US) and its “soul” (the Vatican and its hierarchy) will be “thrown down with violence” in “one hour,” and they shall be “found no more” (Revelation 18: 10, 21).
12. The United Kingdom is the ancestor of the US (in particular, of its political and economic traditions, and of the long-dominant ethnic group in the US), and it is a long-term ally of this country. As such, it will meet a fate like ours.
13. After this (brief but severe) time of trial and darkness, there will be the True Dawn: the Return in Glory of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ - and not the False Dawn I warned about.

10. The Tribulation will destroy the organizations and the technical structure of the present world system. This is necessary because:
• the world’s political/economic structures are now oriented toward ever-increasing oppression
and exploitation, and
• the world’s cultural structures spread corruption and lies rather than truth, wisdom, and virtue, and
• the technical structures are ruining the planet’s ecosystems and enabling global totalitarianism.

Have I understood the meaning of your warning correctly?
A. Your understanding and perception of the reality that we are living through Glorifies God.

From (Mrs.) SA @ US
I have read and re-read your letter to family (1) regarding Jeremiah Chapter
25. I want to thank you very much for sharing with us, and also to remind you (once again) how
grateful we are for your constant assistance.
Although I am fearful when I read and hear things like this, I have to remember that – in the end, I can only "do what I can do." By that I mean I can only turn to God and ask for His guidance and wisdom, and then ask Him to turn my heart and mind to what is His will. In a way, I'm scared to death that I won't "hear" or "see," but again, I have to trust that He will thump me on the head that I might take care not only of my soul, but my entire family and anyone else He might put in my path.
Also, I can sense in this latest letter that you are in pain over what He has made you realize. I don't fully grasp or understand, but I am sorry for what you are going through with this burden. I just want to offer a personal "thank you" to you for being obedient and faithful in sharing all this with your family of readers.
With heartfelt prayers,
SA

A. May God be glorified by your kind and consoling words. Not only your words brings us great consolation but also the state of your soul. We will explain...
You state: I have to remember that – in the end, I can only "do what I can do."
And that is exactly the frame of mind and soul that those who have heard and seen should be in.
You state: By that I mean I can only turn to God and ask for His guidance and wisdom, and then ask Him to turn my heart and mind to what is His will.
And we could not possibly give a better advice or Spiritual Direction.
You state: I'm scared to death that I won't "hear" or "see," but again, I have to trust that He will thump me on the head...
And we assure you, with greater certainty than the Sun will rise in the morning, that the frame of mind and soul is as you have described above is your guarantee that He will see that you "hear" and "see" regardless of how many time He has to turn on "the flashing lights and the siren".
In addition, we assure you that you will "see" and "hear" what you have to on time. Remember - He knows us well and knows how long it will take for each one of His children (who are seeking His Will at all times) to see "the flashing lights and the siren"... therefore, He will start with plenty of lead time so that when we finally "see" and "hear" the issue in question, it will be at the perfect time.
Believe it or not - it is far more dangerous to be actively seeking for signs since satan takes advantage of that and "slips" his own misdirected "signs". We do not need to seek for signs - since those who are truly seeking His Will at all times will "be hit on the head" with them when God is good and ready. Our coming across Jeremiah's chapter 25 now after having missed it for a quarter of a century is a perfect example of that; the timing was perfect.
You state: I don't fully grasp or understand, but I am sorry for what you are going through with this burden.
This burden comes with "the territory" but is magnificently balanced out with the enormous spiritual gifts and insights which also come with "the territory".
Furthermore, knowing that we can - and do - offer such suffering to alleviate His and Mary's sorrow - which is infinitely greater than mine - make this virtual cross much, much lighter. Otherwise I could not have withstood twenty-three years of it.
May God continue to Bless you - this time, for sharing your heart and soul with us.
NOTES
(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the idea (from what you may read on
this page) that we are part of what is known as the "liberal movement" within Catholicism. We
strongly suggest that you first review our positions regarding the
Pristine Catholic Faith (we said "Faith" and not "Church
Administration), RC Church Administration,
Only Possible Changes Within the RCC Allowed by God and
Our Function.
(2) If you prefer to evaluate positions using the "liberal", "moderate" and
"conservative" labels, we would fall in the "practicing conservative" group, without the
fanaticism which most "talking conservatives" exhibit. The difference between "practicing
conservative" and "talking conservative" is that the first strives to live what Jesus Christ
taught, while the second one, the "talking conservative", just talks about the faith and practices
just enough for others to see.
