As we await to celebrate His Glorious Resurrection, let us ponder about How Did the Pristine Catholic Faith Reach the End of These Times In Spite of the Controlling Vatican Hierarchy?
That was a gift from God that most will only fully appreciate as our world collapses.... only to rise as Glorious as God originally intended it to be....
...for we have been Blessed with the most powerful and impregnable armor for the End of These Times - the Pristine Catholic Faith.
Live it... and it will keep you alive!
May Sunday be the most Blessed Resurrection day that you have ever experienced in your life!

China's first prototype space station - Tiangong-1 - is about to fall to Earth. Is this another Divine hint? Warning?
Let us take a look....
Tiangong-1 is currently predicted to reenter the Earth's atmosphere around April 1st, 2018: (1)
Tiangong-1 is currently predicted to reenter the Earth's atmosphere around April 1st,
2018 00:00 UTC +/- 36 hours. This prediction was performed by The Aerospace Corporation on
2018 March 27.
Quoting some interesting points from the same source: (1)
It is unlikely that this is a controlled reentry. Although not declared officially, it is
suspected that control of Tiangong-1 was lost and will not be regained before reentry.
On 2016 March 21, an official Chinese statement declared that telemetry services with Tiangong-1 had ceased.
On 2016 September 14, China made an official statement that they predict Tiangong-1 will reenter the atmosphere in the latter half of 2017.
China later updated its prediction via an announcement to the UN’s Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space on December 8, 2017.
Please note the dates:On 2016 March 21, an official Chinese statement declared that telemetry services with Tiangong-1 had ceased.
On 2016 September 14, China made an official statement that they predict Tiangong-1 will reenter the atmosphere in the latter half of 2017.
China later updated its prediction via an announcement to the UN’s Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space on December 8, 2017.
- March 21th, 2016 (Lost of control): One day after Traditional Palm Sunday for that year
(2)
- September 14 (First official prediction is announced): Exaltation of the Cross
- December 8 (Second official prediction is announced): Immaculate Conception of Mary
- April 1st, 2018 (Predicted fall): Traditional Easter Sunday and "April Fool Day" (3)

In addition...
What is the meaning of "tiangong"?
What is the meaning of "tiangong"?
According to some sources:
Tian gong or Jade Emperor is the name of Taoist deity, the Ruler of Heaven
(4a) (4b)
One of the myths describes how the Jade Emperor became the monarch of all the deities
in heaven. (5)
According to others:
The Tiangong Chinese space station is named after the Heavenly Palace, where the Jade
Emperor, god of the highest power, resides. (6a) (6b) (6c) (6d)
Just a thought....
Let us see, "the monarch of all the deities in heaven" is falling out of control... Now, substitute "stars" for "deities" and "order and harmony" for "monarch and ruler" (or for "Heavenly Palace").
Then the result is that "the order and harmony of all the stars in heaven is out of control and falling to ground". ...or... if the "monarch" of the "stars" is falling, then the stars have to fall after him.

A. Most interesting! Thank you for sharing the result of your efforts with all of us.
It is obvious that the message from God, the One and Only One, is crystal clear: We are indeed living in the End of These Times and we better keep the oil for our lamps handy [Matt. 25: 1-13] for there will not be any exceptions. Make no mistake.

In a recent Mass we read about God's covenant with Abraham [Genesis 17:3-6]:
When Abram prostrated himself, God spoke to him: "My covenant with you is this: you are to
become the father of a host of nations. No longer shall you be called Abram; your name
shall be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a host of nations. I will render you
exceedingly fertile; I will make nations of you; kings shall stem from you.
Which reads the same as in the Jewish Bible
And Abram fell on his face; and G-d talked with him, saying: 'As for Me, behold, My covenant is
with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations. Neither shall thy name any more
be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations
have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee,
and kings shall come out of thee.
Has anyone - specially Jews - noticed that God spoke about nations in plural? If He would have been speaking of only Israel God would have used the term in singular: nation.
Obviously, Abraham was not to be the father of only one nation - Israel. God was referring to the time when Jesus had become the Messiah for all who would accept Him as such, who would obviously come from many nations.
In case that you have not heard that.....
Israeli Finance Minister signed a special waiver allowing US embassy to be relocated to Jerusalem in time for 70th Independence Day.
Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu) signed a special waiver Wednesday, permitting the
US State Department to upgrade a facility designated to serve as America’s interim embassy in
Israel.
Comments: Many things can happen in 45 days (May 14th starts at Sundown of May 13th
- the 101st Anniversary of the first apparition in Fatima.) . Let us pray that all works out in
accordance to the Will of God.
The move comes after US and Israeli diplomats expressed concern that plans by the US to relocate
its embassy from Tel Aviv to the Israeli capital in time for the 70th anniversary of the
establishment of Israel on May 14th were jeopardized by bureaucratic red-tape.
Kahlon issued the waiver permitting the US to upgrade its consular facility in the Arnona
neighborhood of Jerusalem to an embassy, hailing the move as a “historic movement”.

Another Divine Hint?
When we started to redesign the New Liturgical Calendar - which would include the Pre-Babylonian Jewish Holy Days prescribed by God and the key Christian Holy Days - we were inspired that the Jewish Holy Day of Shavuot should be celebrated on the same day as Pentecost Sunday. But why?
Because the Holy Day of Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai and the Descent of the Holy Spirit of God upon all of humanity is the perfect equivalent in Christianity to when God gave His Law to the entire nation of Israel.
Several hours after we realized that providential match of Christian and Jewish dates which we transmitted to you on the Special Edition of this page dated March 25th, we realized that, for the year 2018, the Traditional Pentecost Sunday precisely coincides with the Traditional date for the commemoration of Shavuot. Coincidence? Hardly!
In yesterday's Gospel... we read about Jesus visiting Lazarus, Martha and Mary after Lazarus had ben resurrected. The reading closes with the following statement:
The large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of him, but
also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too, because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too, because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
This is a perfect example of the level of blindness (we prefer to think of level of blindness instead of level of stupidity) of the chief priests of the time. To go against an apparently regular human being - Jesus - who had the power to bring back to life an already decomposing body and, in addition, plan to kill the man He resurrected, must be the epitome of blindness or stupidity - your choice!
But then again, why are we surprised?
Roman and Orthodox Hierarchs have never noticed that Jesus' description of Pharisees and Scribes fits them perfectly, consequently, His criticism applies to them too. It is as if they had never read the four Gospels. This is blindness.
The Vatican controlling Hierarchy completely ignored Fatima and the specific, simple and crystal clear requests from Heaven thus leading humanity into the bloodiest (so far) century of recorded history. This is stupidity.
Absolutely nothing has changed since humanity has not changed as history clearly testifies to.
Nonetheless, the word from here continues to be All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not;...[Matthew 23:3] as long as it does not contravene the specific and crystal clear teachings of Jesus Christ.
[Note: The above reflects the type of homily that used to be delivered by a dear friend of miguel de Portugal when he was a Chaplain at the Sanctuary of Fatima. Logically, as soon as his contract with the Sanctuary expired he was sent back to his order and out of Fatima as fast as possible. He would have made a star Rector for the Sanctuary. Don António Cardoso Cristovão truly believed in God, was a true child of Mary and took his priestly responsibility as something very serious.]

Let us continue our work as a pain vaccine (to prevent future pains) for our readers by bringing to your attention a couple of more items about Facebook.
Sara Ashley O'Brien downloaded 14 years of my Facebook data and here's what happened (1)
Facebook has an impeccable memory.
After downloading my stored data on the site — I've been a member since 2004 — I was presented with an enormous amount of personal details that have been collected about me over the years.
It had the phone number of my late grandmother who never had a Facebook account, or even an email address. It preserved the conversations I had with an ex-- someone with whom I thought I had deleted my digital ties. It even recalled times I was "poked," a feature I had forgotten about. I also learned that Kate Spade New York and MetLife have me on their advertiser lists.
Facebook emailed me a link to download my data. The process took about 10 minutes. (The downloading time depends on how much data you've generated.) The data is segmented into groups: like ads, contact info, events, messages, timeline, and more.
I started with the ads tab and learned which advertisers possessed my contact information. They included Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target, and Marriott Rewards ... and a few crowdfunding sites I had never heard of. One of my male colleagues had a few surprising advertisers collecting his data: Rod Stewart, Sally Beauty and Cyndi Lauper. (He said he's not a fan of any of those brands.)
I can view the dates I became friends with among my contacts on Facebook.
Facebook also preserved conversations I had with people I've tried to forget. But apparently I didn't try hard enough. That includes the guy I dated on and off for several years.

Facebook saves extensive call, text data made by Android users: Ars Technica (2)
Android cellphone users have noticed that Facebook has saved a virtual trove of their personal
call data that extends back years, according to a report in Ars Technica.
Amid an outcry over the social network's handling of a controversy involving a third-party application's misuse of personal data, the publication reported that several Android users who pulled down archive data from Facebook found very detailed personal metadata. That information included call logs containing names, phone numbers, and the length of each call made.
In a statement given to Ars Technica, Facebook pointed out that the call log was "a widely used practice to begin by uploading your phone contacts." The person added that users give their consent by uploading their contacts, a function that's optional. People can also delete contact data from their profiles by using a tool available on Web browsers, Facebook stated.

Comment: Although on the surface it may seem that The M+G+R Foundation should have had a Facebook account from their beginning, God blocked any notions of that.
But if you need a couple of high profile faces to convince yourself to "kiss Facebook good bye" here are two:
Elon Musk the multibillionaire brilliant mind behind Tesla Inc. (electric cars), SpaceX, etc. and Julian Assange, Wikileaks Founder.
Mr. Musk did not know that Tesla Inc. had an account in Facebook, but when he found out he had it canceled right away. Mr. Assange took our same position - never had a Facebook account.

It is the Will of God that we highlight three very interesting, and obviously providential, situations associated with the Traditional Holy Week for the year 2018.
A. The Traditional Palm Sunday fell on March 25th - when we normally celebrate The Feast of
the Annunciation.
If you stop and meditate on this for a moment you will realize that it was on Palm Sunday when Jesus, for the first time, publicly acknowledged His Messianic role and His position of Eternal King of Israel. His "Annunciation" to the world.
B. Traditional Easter falls on April 1st
One aspect of it is that....
If you stop and meditate on this for a moment you will realize that it was on Palm Sunday when Jesus, for the first time, publicly acknowledged His Messianic role and His position of Eternal King of Israel. His "Annunciation" to the world.
B. Traditional Easter falls on April 1st
One aspect of it is that....
April Fools' Day is an annual celebration in some European and Western countries commemorated on
April 1st by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes.
Another aspect about 'fools' is what Paul said....
[18] Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him
become a fool, that he may be wise. [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
1 Cor. 3
[27] But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. 1 Cor. 27
[27] But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. 1 Cor. 27
It seems that the message is self explanatory but, just in case....
The real fools in the world are those who do not believe that Jesus is indeed the one and only
Messiah, while the truly wise ones in the world are the ones who believe, as we do, that Jesus is
the one and only Messiah. Therefore, April 1st is indeed the Fool's Day for all, but for totally
opposite reasons.
As if all of this were not enough....
C. The Jewish Passover for the year 2018 starts at Sundown of March 31st, with its first day being April 1st (1). The Sunday when Jesus Resurrected was also the first day of the Jewish Passover of that year.

For greater details you may visit our document where we discuss the dates of Jesus Last Passover Meal and the post Babylonian Jews' Passover Meal.
We would have to be blind not to acknowledge the messages that God is delivering to Christianity and Judaism in the year 2018, and act upon it - His Return is not far off.

It is also the Will of God that, invoking the Communion of Saints, we accompany the members of our Mystical Parish and all our other readers throughout the Liturgy of the Traditional Holy Week. That is, tomorrow's Mass will be the Mass that globally corresponds to the Monday of Holy Week, and so on until Easter Sunday and Mercy Sunday.
We will continue to observe during the year 2018 all other key liturgical dates that Jesus also observed on the dates dictated by the calendar used by Him, as we announced earlier.

In a video interview lasting a little over seven minutes, Kentucky Governor Mr. Matt Bevin has explained in very simple terms what is behind the school shootings and all the other social aberrations that we are experiencing today in the U.S. and the world. It is admirable - and a blessing - that a politician dares to be so politically incorrect!
Basically he is echoing what we have been saying for decades now. Perhaps because it is now a Governor saying it, and there is a face associated with the statement, more people will believe it. We highly recommend it. It may be accessed through the following link: http://www.youtube.com/embed/F6XTVuUP0Ho
In a related matter - we keep hearing about the one "minute silences" for this or that tragedy and the "marches" for this or that change. Are people that ignorant and/or ill informed to think that such silliness is going to reverse - or even soften - the fall into the abyss? Tragically that seems to be the case and I sincerely pity them.
It was seventeen years ago(!!!!) that we published a document titled: Enough of Marches! Enough of Petitions! Enough Politicking! Just - PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! and absolutely nothing has changed. Technically, that is not correct, there has been a change.... for the worse!
A nation full of alleged Christians and we continue to fall, faster and faster into the abyss. What irritates me the most is that said "Christians" are making a mockery of God because it gives the impression to others that God is deaf to their pleas. If they had real faith, God had acted upon their prayers and the world would be a different place today. To the outsider it looks like God does not exists because if He did "He would not allow what is taking place in the world" - that is what is called negative Evangelization.
Humanity - with its religious leaders at the head - fully deserves what is at our doors!
We realize that, like with Jeremiah, no one wants to hear what we have to say but just like with Jeremiah (1), we will continue until our "advanced civilization" has been reduced to rubble and no one will then dare to ask "Where was God?"

Continuing with the illustrations of how our subconscious - fed with concrete facts and wrong examples - slowly kills our faith, let us use a very graphic illustration.
As the Apostle's Creed is concluded, the faithful prays: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,....
The belief in the 'holy catholic church ' is proclaimed by the faithful right after the belief in 'the Holy Spirit' and the subconscious equates them. Then the faithful is faced with the reality of the Roman Catholic Church and soon the subconscious equates the "holiness" of the Roman Catholic Church with the true holiness of the Holy Spirit of God and, as the saying goes, the rest is history - and a very sad one at that.
We changed the wording of the Apostle's Creed decades ago and when we pray it we say: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic faith, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,....
Although it could also be prayed as follows: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Mystical Body of Christ, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,....
Based on its 1,600 year well stained record the last thing (1) we want to proclaim our belief in is the catholic church - Roman or Orthodox!
Now, belief in the catholic faith - absolutely and unquestionably! (2)

Are you aware that.... 74% of Americans believe that there is indeed a "Deep State" (what we call a 'Submerged Government') which is running the country?
[our highlights]
“We usually expect opinions on the operation of government to shift depending on which party is
in charge. But there’s an ominous feeling by Democrats and Republicans alike that a ‘Deep
State’ of unelected operatives are pulling the levers of power,” said Murray of
Monmouth University Poll .
Few Americans (13%) are very familiar with the term “Deep State;” another 24% are somewhat
familiar, while 63% say they are not familiar with this term. However, when the term is
described as a group of unelected government and military officials who secretly manipulate or
direct national policy, nearly 3-in-4 (74%) say they believe this type of apparatus exists in
Washington.
This includes 27% who say it definitely exists and 47% who say it probably exists.
Only 1-in-5 say it does not exist (16% probably not and 5% definitely not).
Belief in the probable existence of a Deep State comes from more than 7-in-10 Americans in each
partisan group, although Republicans (31%) and independents (33%) are somewhat more likely than
Democrats (19%) to say that the Deep State definitely exists. (1)
Comments: May God be praised! The deepest and most important secret in the shadows
of the U.S. elite is no longer a secret - through the Grace of God.Once most of said 74% group realize that it is that Deep State who is behind all attacks against Mr. Trump because his policies go contrary to their Global Plans - Mr. Trump will be able to accelerate the implementation of his policies.
The Green Apocalypse is gaining ground. Keep on praying!
Because it Glorifies God, I enjoy seeing those "fancy pants" Skull and Bones type of individuals - who are not even good or smart at being bad - scrambling because I can see the Hand of God in action.... a Hand against Which they are powerless.

In a recent Mass.... the Gospel reading was from John 9. At the beginning we read:
[1] And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth: [2] And his disciples asked
him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born
blind? [3] Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the
works of God should be made manifest in him.
That is a question that is frequently asked - silently or aloud - when faced with a serious illness from birth or acquired later. In such cases His answer - but that the works of God should be made manifest in him - apply universally and not only in that particular case in which Jesus was referring to His healing of the blind man shortly thereafter.
Everything has a purpose in the Mind of God and if we work with Him, not against Him, the ultimate purpose of the trial - which by definition will be great - will be fulfilled.
A brief reminder..... about how far gone the world is:
Comment: Humanity has not left God any choice but to "RESET" Creation. Given more time such behavior would be declared normal and its non acceptance would be made illegal and descriminatory.... and we are not being sarcastic!

Child-porn images so widespread, police can’t prosecute everyone – chief constable
A “horrifying” number of people in Britain are viewing child sexual abuse images online, a police chief has warned amid suggestions that pedophiles who view indecent images should not be charged unless they pose a physical threat to children.
The National Crime Agency estimated in 2015 that there were up to 750,000 men in Britain who were interested in having sex with children. This suggests that as many as one in every 35 adult males is on the pedophile spectrum.

It has been further confirmed that he did not believe in God. That God and Heaven were man's creation: "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers ('computers' is how he describes a human being); that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." (3)
Then there is miguel de Portugal - a very 'little one' when compared with the world wisdom and prudence of Hawking, not to mention when compared with Hawking's stature before the wise and prudent world. miguel de Portugal, the 'gofer' by choice.
It is precisely that little one who - just as Jesus promised - does not only know the reality of the parallel universes and their purpose, but has been physically aware of them numerous times - and continues to be on a regular basis.
The experiences ascribed to some high profile individuals in the Catholic Church when, according to third parties they bilocated (that is, were in two places at the same time), is simply a misinterpretation of the reality of parallel universes.
For the record - a human cannot be in two places at the same time within the same universe.
Also, it was that same little one - the gofer - who was informed by God over 15 years ago that the universe will eventually fade out as the result of running out of energy and that our planet will no longer exist, as we know it, in the year 2832 A.C.
No; I am not being arrogant nor pretentious. I could not possibly be - I did nothing to acquire that information. It was freely granted by God for purposes associated to my functioning as a "gofer".
Let us hope for Dr. Hawking's sake that just before his body and soul separated he acknowledged God and Jesus Christ as the Messiah - although we suspect that he did not and has ended like the virgins who had lamps but not oil for when their time came. Let's face it, God's megaphone volume could not have been any louder than it was for Dr. Hawking for the last 50 years.

When things.... are not going our way and the road becomes difficult, let us think about this...
a. The Mother of our Savior became pregnant when she was still single and that was not acceptable
then.
b. Joseph, illuminated by an angel, and out of love for Her accepted Her as his spouse.
c. Well into Mary's pregnancy they had to travel to Bethlehem for an officially ordered census. Not by a comfortable cart but by donkey through inhospitable terrain.
d. Once in Bethlehem - without any lodging - She goes into labor and delivers Jesus in a manger.
e. Just as they were beginning to have a normal home life in Nazareth, Joseph is informed that they have to flee lest Jesus is killed.
f. Now they have to travel to Egypt - again not by a comfortable cart but by donkey through inhospitable terrain.
g. They have to make a new life in a foreign land - away for all relatives and friends.
h. Just as they were beginning to have a normal life in Egypt, Joseph is informed that they must go back
b. Joseph, illuminated by an angel, and out of love for Her accepted Her as his spouse.

g. They have to make a new life in a foreign land - away for all relatives and friends.
h. Just as they were beginning to have a normal life in Egypt, Joseph is informed that they must go back
...and on and on.
So what were our puny problems about which we were complaining about yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, etc.....? The problems for which we were claiming to God: "Why me?"
We should kiss the ground in thanksgiving that most of us never had to go through a series of experiences like the Mother of the Son of God, the Son of God Himself and dear, dear Joseph had to.
However, should we face a difficult trial, let us not forget what is the first step that we must take - as Jesus clearly taught us at Gethsemani:
My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless
not as I will, but as thou wilt. [Matthew 26:39]
But then again.... we have the Israelites who were forced to become slaves for the Egyptians, and who were freed by God through Moses after performing a series of spectacular miracles. Then, just because Moses took too long visiting with God they turned to idolatry led by their priest Aaron:
[1] And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together
against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man
that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.
[2] And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me. [3] And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron. [4] And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders' work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
[5] And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier's voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord. [Exodus 32]
[2] And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me. [3] And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron. [4] And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders' work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
[5] And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier's voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord. [Exodus 32]
....and such behavior by humanity has continued since then.
Just a reminder in case we feel like complaining to God about His alleged lack of Mercy and patience with us.... as well as a reminder that even His patience has limits, as we shall soon see.

Who really has the Spiritual Rights to Jerusalem?
This highly volatile subject matter has been ignored for centuries. Now, as Israel approaches the
70th Anniversary of the establishment of their state, it was the Will of God that we -
theologically and historically - look into who has the rights to Jerusalem.
Neither Jews nor Muslims have such rights no matter what they may claim... and neither does the
Vatican!
Let's face it, Jesus was always "politically incorrect" and it is He Whom we serve.... so here is the politically incorrect answer.
Let's face it, Jesus was always "politically incorrect" and it is He Whom we serve.... so here is the politically incorrect answer.
From miguel de Portugal
We understand how confusing all that is taking place in the world's political and religious stage appears to be. The number of "talking heads", alleged experts, conspiracy revealing videos, and outright false information being presented as true is staggering. The problem is that even the well intentioned individuals do not have the slightest clue as to what is taking place because they do not even know what must take place.
For the benefit of our readers and those with whom they choose to share it we will provide below a very simple and straightforward decoding mechanism. We will work backwards, that is: From the ultimate goal backwards on to today.
Divine Goal: End of These Times - Return of Christ
Goal from hell: Manifest satan as the Christ in His Second Coming
Goal from hell: Manifest satan as the Christ in His Second Coming
Therefore....
The world must be brought into complete chaos - everywhere. satan will cause it and God will allow
its extent.
Options for that to take place: Nuclear holocaust and/or natural disaster.
Option no. 1: Nuclear holocaust.
(a) Just one or two simple nuclear attacks anywhere in the world will fulfill prophecy.
(b) A global nuclear war which will render most of the planet uninhabitable for centuries to come.
A typical situation for this scenario is a nuclear spat between the U.S. and North Korea or
Iran
[this would be the Divine Preference]
(b) A global nuclear war which will render most of the planet uninhabitable for centuries to come.
This would take place should the U.S. and Russia new Cold War suddenly turned Hot
[this would be satan's preference]
Option no. 2: Comet strike or Gamma Ray Burst or mega Volcanic activity. This is obviously
out of our hands since that is the proverbial Ace up God's Holy Sleeve.
If Option no.1 (a) takes place and the damage is limited, perhaps a little help from Option no. 2 will be enough to complete the global chaos necessary to trigger the eventual manifestation of the False Christ and then, finally, the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Option no. 1 is right now being played out before our own eyes. The question is which
version of Option no. 1 will take place. The Green Apocalypse version (a) or the
global nuclear version (b) which is satan's preference. Perhaps you may now understand the
almost obsession the West has against Russia. Irrationally, they are doing all possible to trigger
Option no.1 (b)If Option no.1 (a) takes place and the damage is limited, perhaps a little help from Option no. 2 will be enough to complete the global chaos necessary to trigger the eventual manifestation of the False Christ and then, finally, the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is God, empowered by the prayers, fasting and other sacrifices of His devoted children, the One Who will decide which sub option, (a) or (b), will be. Are you up to the challenge?
In a recent Mass... the Gospel was about Lazarus, Abraham and the self centered rich man [Luke 16: 19-31]
.
Once again we hear Jesus underscoring the importance of the the Law and the Prophets which He came to fulfill....
[27]....Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I
have five brethren, [28] That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of
torments. [29] And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them.
....and the state of denial of most....
[30] But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do
penance. [31] And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will
they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
He knew that most would not believe in Him even after He had resurrected Lazarus - the brother of Mary and Martha [John 11].
It is interesting to note that this is the only parable where an individual has a name - Lazarus - a direct connection to His message: "...neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead. "
Let us take this opportunity to highlight the level of denial of the Temple Masters. The resurrection of Lazarus was the proverbial last straw that moved the Temple Masters to kill Jesus.
Imagine that! Kill someone who had the power to resurrect a dead (and already decomposing) body - a miracle witnessed by many.
This brings to mind the modern Temple Masters' (the controlling Vatican Administrators) defiance of the instructions from God regarding the Consecration of Russia after the awesome miracle God performed in Fatima on October 13th, 1917; a miracle which was even reported by the non believing press.
In closing... do notice that the rich man went to hell not for being rich. He went to hell for not using some of his money to help others in need.

From miguel de Portugal
Our regular readers - those who receive this page by e-mail or read it on-line - know that we have frequently encouraged one and all to pray for the few establishment priests and members of the Hierarchy who are truly of God even if they are caught within a centuries long failed Institution. They are the ones who have kept alive the most complete Faith - Catholicism - to help humanity at the End of These Times.
We have also pointed out many times the shining example of Don Bosco. Even his Bishop was against him but, with the Grace of God, he prevailed and showed to those who have Eyes to See that even the enemies of the Roman Catholic Church Administration favor those who live by word and example the Word of God - Jesus Christ.
We thought it appropriate to give our readers two Biblical examples of similar individuals. First we have the father of John the Baptist - a priest in the post Babylonian Temple - Zachary [Luke 1] - chosen by God to be the father of the precursor of Jesus. Then we also have highly relevant members of the post Babylonian Establishment - Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea.
When you pray for the few establishment priests and members of the Hierarchy who are truly of God even if they are caught within a centuries long failed Institution - remember, they are suffering greatly and they need all your prayerful support. I know; I have been among them and their ministry is almost a calvary. Thank you!
Regarding the manipulated videos that we offered to share with our readers....
It was not our intent to convince our readers. If at this stage there is someone among our readers that still do not trust miguel de Portugal, maybe it is time to move on to somewhere else "...lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." [Mark 4:12]
We sent the one minute video examples to illustrate how far gone all is and how easily the news can be truly manufactured using the main actors, Trump, Putin, etc., etc. as well as providing a physical tool that our readers could use to help those submerged in denial to open their eyes.
Imagine the following scenario.... (a) Set up a Domain with a name that looks like a well known source - say http://www.washintonpost.net/ . That Domain does not exist therefore anyone could get it for just a few dollars and it just looks like it is from the Washington Post; (b) Download any legitimate on-line news video; (c) Alter it - using a program available to anyone who wishes to have it (1) - to suit a particular diabolical plan; (d) Upload it into the created fake Washington Post domain http://www.washintonpost.net/; (d) Tweet the link to a large audience and sit back. In no time millions will be seeing and believing whatever the falsified video is promoting.
Yes; it is that simple. Most specially today when most of the world population has been rendered Zombie like.

(1) Tutorial on how to do it
How our subconscious... when visually fed the wrong information harms our faith.
In a recent Mass using Jesus' Lent schedule we read from Matthew 23:1-12:
[2] Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses....
[4] For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them. [5] And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
[6] And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues, [7] And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi. [8] But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren. [9] And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. [10] Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, Christ.
[4] For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them. [5] And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.

[10] Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, Christ.
Now look at how most of the Catholic - Roman and Orthodox - Hierarchy dresses, acts and lives, and expect to be addressed. Also how the faithful is moved (brainwashed?) to call priests "Father".
Your subconscious sees that and "tells" you to ignore yet another set of teachings from Jesus Christ... and that is how the faith continues to die.... while you believe that it is really strong... which brings us to...
What happens..... when a natural or a man made disaster strikes our high-tech world.
A first hand, and very personal, account of what happened
in Puerto Rico when Hurricane Maria struck it back in September 2017.
There is much to be learned from this account in order to be able to face what all of us - even the Bill Gates', Mark Zuckerberg's, Jeff Bezos', etc. of the world - will have to face soon.

[Excerpt of her letter regarding the "The manipulation of videos"]
In my lifetime I have had four dreams of Christ's return. In each of them the entire world experienced His return at the same time and it was never through electronic means. In fact, in two of them there were the sound of angelic horns blown that were so loud I fell to my knees at the sound.....
I looked in The M+G+R Foundation references to verify this and didn't see anything about the trumpets but that everyone would know of His return.
I don't see how anyone who is truly a follower of Christ would believe in a video.
IW
A. Thank you very much for sharing with us your experiences and views.
We have never mentioned trumpets because God has not moved us to do so. That does not mean that there will not be trumpets. It means just what I said: He has not moved me to do so and it is He Who is truly behind our work.
What we have mentioned repeatedly is the quote from Acts 1:11 : Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.
Why our persistence about the message through Acts 1:11? Because decades ago He revealed to me that that was the key to recognize the reality of His Second Coming and, yes, the entire world will experience it simultaneously.
You are right - a follower of Christ (who should also be included among the Elect) would not be deceived by a video or any other instrument used in the falsification of the Second Coming, but it may require much pain before he/she is in a state that will not allow the deception.
Think of miguel de Portugal, and our work through The M+G+R Foundation, as a supernatural analgesic. We are here to minimize the suffering of the Elect, and to make sure that the non Elect have had enough warnings so that they cannot complain to God when they are being dispatched to hell.
As we explained in our document about Time and Eternity, all who are going to Heaven are already there in the "Eternal Frame" while those who are destined to hell are also there in the "Eternal Frame". When a soul is born in the "Time Frame" only God knows where that soul will end in the "Eternal Frame" - that is the only predestination that exists since that soul, using its own free, will will eventually fulfill its final destiny: Heaven or hell.
That translates to: No one in the "Time Frame" has the power to induce the end of a soul's journey whether is Heaven or hell.
What we can do is, through Evangelization - by word, deed and example - and prayer, is to minimize the suffering of the Elect as they journey through the "Time Frame" while neutralizing the harm that the souls who will end in hell can cause in the "Time Frame" PLUS making sure that they cannot complain to God when they are being dispatched to hell by making all the necessary information available to all.
Have you ever noticed.... the "hidden in plain view" message delivered by the Transfiguration of Jesus?
Moses symbolized the Law, Elias symbolized the Prophets while the Father confirms Jesus as His Son and orders that He be heard. This confirms the reality and importance of what Jesus said:
We cannot help but rejoice at the Divine coherence of the Sacred Texts.

raineth upon the just and the unjust. [Matthew 5:45]
Therefore, that is why miguel de Portugal could be considered a supernatural analgesic prescribed
by God... but, like the horse that is taken to water is free to choose whether to drink it or not,
the taking of the "supernatural analgesic" is the choice of each and every one of the millions
that come to our pages.Have you ever noticed.... the "hidden in plain view" message delivered by the Transfiguration of Jesus?
[1] And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into
an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them. [2] And his garments
became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
[3] And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. [4] And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [5] For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
[6] And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him. [Mark 9]
[3] And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. [4] And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. [5] For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
[6] And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him. [Mark 9]
Moses symbolized the Law, Elias symbolized the Prophets while the Father confirms Jesus as His Son and orders that He be heard. This confirms the reality and importance of what Jesus said:
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfill. [Matthew 5:17]

video or just parts of it.
These one minute video-manipulated examples will leave no doubt whatsoever of the gravity/danger of this new technological development.
After viewing these brief videos we hope that it will be finally crystal clear to each one of you why we continue to call upon all to make the Holy Spirit of God your supernatural "GPS".

From miguel de Portugal
We had a faithful and tireless collaborator in Puerto Rico who, among her contributions, prepared the hundreds of pages showing the Biblical Readings never read at Mass (1). She brought up her children enveloped in the Holy Sacraments and, although with limited financial resources, helped us with abandonment. In summary: She would be considered by all a woman of solid faith.
After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico last September we lost track of her. We have finally reconnected and she sent to us a very descriptive three page report of the realities she, and other Puerto Ricans, lived and continue to live. With her cooperation we are editing her report to remove personal information so that we may publish it as a Guest Document.
In turns out to be that her greatest contribution to The M+G+R Foundation, and those who read our pages, will precisely be when we publish said report. The condensed concluding message of her experience can be summarized in a five sentence paragraph in one of the e-mails that we exchanged after being reconnected. Without correcting her English, since her native language is Spanish, it reads as follows:
You Know, I believed that I was prepared for what is to come. But, looking back, there is never
a way to be prepared to that which is not known. That is why, the only way is Jesus. To know His
heart, and the Father's, is to believe They could do (and wanted to do) the impossible and
more.
Our response was:
That IS precisely why we want to publish your report. To illustrate the reality of
why we have been exhorting one and all to do for years - to place God first and
foremost. To fix our eyes on Jesus and Mary and have the Holy Spirit within our hearts
guiding our every move. All believe - as you did - that they are ready and we know that
they are not!
I am not trying to "be cute" every time we write something like "I am still not selling 'End of World' supplies, nor Indulgences. Just making sure that we keep our hands washed from any blame for not keeping informed those who should know that the only option now is to draw closer to God." We are stone serious and pray that you pay attention and act upon what we have shared with you in the Holy Name of God.
Just as we are sorry for what our Puerto Rican collaborator has experienced, we would be for you if you, by default, choose her same path of "crash conversion" in spite of all the warnings that we have given you in the Name of God. We cannot do more for you than what we have already done - and still try to do - in the face of the very painful adversity that is at our doors.
We are at peace and wish the same for each one of you.
The full brunt of our message today will become painfully alive when you read her report which should be ready for publication by next week.
May God have Mercy on us all!

(1) Index of Omitted Readings
The Gospel reading for.... yesterday's Traditional Lent Mass was from Mark 12:28-34
One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?"
Jesus replied, "The first is this:
The second is this:
There is no other commandment greater than these."
Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
The second is this:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no other commandment greater than these."
Do you realize that the truth that you have read above can replace the entire Bible? If we love our neighbor as ourselves, the remaining eight commandments - plus all else in the Holy Texts, are no longer necessary.
Therefore, we should describe all of the Bible - New and Old Testaments - as a book which tells us all the miseries that will fall upon us if we do not live those simple instructions from God, in the Person of Jesus.
Why has it been so difficult to teach and to learn - by word and deed - those two straight forward laws?
In my case it was full ignorance for the first 42 years of my life but.... what about the rest of the Christians who consider themselves informed?
I was truly puzzled until I realized that it requires real faith, not "talked about" faith, to believe those simple truths and live them, and that should be a very accurate indicator of the level of faith each one of us really have.
March 8th
From miguel de Portugal
Continuing with illustrations about how our unconscious - being fed with a flood of contradictory information - draws conclusions based on the overwhelming evidence destroying the faith further....
The most known and offered prayer among Christians is the Lord's Prayer. In the Lord's Prayer we ask with God to:
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. [Matthew 6:12]
confirmed by
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. [Luke
11:4]
What does our subconscious "see" around us and in the history of the last 1600 years?Killing, maiming, burning and torturing those whom Christians consider their debtors - which translate to "those who they do not agree with, their enemies and those who are inconvenient to their intentions".
We are speaking about all Christians - not just Roman Catholics.
Faced with the overwhelming evidence, our subconscious simply brings our faith to a new low and, tragically, the unaware but deceived masses suffer due to their dying faith caused by their leaders' examples.
In school I had to study Antique, Medieval and Modern History - not in passing but in depth. Of course my eyes could not see what they can see now through the Grace of God.
Besides living inmersed in its consequences, as time allows it and as "a break" from my responsibilities, we have been reviewing European Medieval History.
Now there is no doubt in my mind whatosever that most of their political and religious leaders did not believe in God - the real God; the Biblical God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They believed in a manufactured god who would justify every sin and perversion that they needed to have justified. It is revolting!
Now we fully understand why so many wars and plagues devastated Europe during the last 1,600 years. A Europe laden with Cathedrals, Churches and Basilicas - filled with religiosity, yet submerged in a misery which was crowned (for now, anyway) with Word War II which God, in His infinite Mercy, tried to prevent just to be spit on by the same Church that claims to represent Him.
What saved European nations from being erased from the face of the Earth were the handful of suffering, humble and innocent praying serfs whose faith, because of their ignorance, was untouched by the depravity of its rulers - civil and religious.
Today - in the age of education and information sharing - there are very, very few suffering, humble and innocent praying serf-equivalents, thus, what saved "Christian" Europe from annihilation no longer exists. Since what Europe was in the Middle Ages has now become the state of the Globe, Europe is not the only one facing annihilation. This action will be allowed by God, and no one will ever be allowed to ask "Where was God?" when referring to it. He has given us 1,600 years filled with opportunities and we have squandered each and every one of them.
We must pray with an untouched virginal faith - as those poor suffering, humble and innocent serfs did - to cushion the final settlement of the debt the political and religious world leaders have incurred with God. There are very few who have the faith we, as a group have, and we must employ it to work the necessary miracles for those who are still innocent in this world... but would also be lost unless this time is not shortened by the Mercy of God.
From (Mrs.) IW @ US
Last Sunday the Gospel was John 2:13-25, where Jesus is very angry about what He found going on in the temple.
This being the season of Lent, the fish fries are in full swing here. I have been very confused about one of the practices that occurs in the parishes in [edited out city]. At the events they also sell beer and have gambling. I mean, real gambling tables. They also go around the dining area and sell scratch off's and raffle tickets. I must say, this never happened in the parishes in [edited out city], at least when I was growing up.
We went once, and have never been back. When asked why by some parishioners, I told them that I didn't think we needed to be gambling in the church or to raise funds for the church by promoting gambling.
They tell me the event is in the school gym or basement of the church, etc. I just don't think this is the way to raise funds for the church. I believe in tithing. We tithe and that is how we support the church.
Have you ever addressed this? Am I incorrect in thinking this way?
I think Jesus would come in the gym and turn over those tables, also.
IW
A. Thank you for the opportunity to address this issue.
You are correct in feeling that way and, yes, Jesus would have turned over those tables.
The reason that you see it, and they do not, is precisely because you have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear. Something that is absent in most Christians due to the subconsciously induced blindness that we addressed above. They have been rendered blind and deaf, even if they had Eyes and Ears at the beginning.
Now, multiply that by millions upon millions. If God does not put a stop to what is taking place in the world, even those who had Eyes to See and Ears to Hear originally, yet became numb as the result of the subconscious acting upon the visual feedback, would lose the little faith that they had left.
Regarding tithing - we suggest that any tithing these days, unless earmarked for a specific Christian project within the church - a project about which you are well informed - be done on direct where acts of charity are needed. You are doing it for God and not for an institution, so it will be pleasing to Him.
We are speaking from an experience that could easily be qualified - and quantified - in the number of dollars I was not able to write off my income tax returns because I left the world long before I could get all the credits in. No; I am not bragging about it. Actually, it is an embarrassment that I did not see the reality soon enough and used most of those resources in acts of true charity.
Did you know that.... Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the World Economic Forum in Davos denouncing that Globalization is under attack? (1)
"The forces of protectionism are raising their heads against globalization," he told attendees.
"Their desire is to not only save themselves from globalization, but to reverse the natural flow
of globalization altogether."
It is the second consecutive year that the leader of a major Asian power has used the coveted speaking slot to warn against a retreat from globalization. Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a similar message in 2017.

Comments: If they only knew that Globalization will never come to pass no matter how hard they will try!
This is one of those cases when the saying: "When there is a will, there is a way, but if it is God's Will.... get out of the way!" says it all since Globalization IS NOT part of the Divine Plan. Remember Babel? [Genesis 11:9]

God brought to my attention that, with the exception of those who assist us in fulfilling His Will, none of our readers are aware of the reach of our efforts through The M+G+R Foundation pages have. Therefore, it is His Will that we let all readers - friends and foes alike - be aware the results of our efforts with the collaboration of those who materially assist us.
Because our documents can be as short as three pages and as long as thirty pages we will express the number of documents viewed in terms of four-page-equivalent documents. We can accurately achieve this by converting megabytes of text downloaded into number of four-page-equivalent documents.
Normal traffic results in the download of 750,000 to 1,250,000 four-page-equivalent documents every month.
The top ten countries visiting our pages, using the number of unique visitors are:
United States, China, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, India and
Colombia.
China now represents only one half of the volume from the US since the Chinese government cracked down on the Internet. They used to be equally represented, however, the overall traffic is holding up with new traffic from new countries.
North Korea continues to also access our documents as it has in the past. We have no way of determining which ones they visit - something that would be very interesting considering that only the English speaking government elite has access to the Internet outside their borders.
In addition, five to six hundred copies of Straubinger's New Testament continue to be downloaded every month from our server by Spanish speaking visitors.
That is, we can safely say that about twelve million four-page-equivalent documents are downloaded per year and this has been the case for the last few years. Now, how about further back in time?
We started keeping some sort of track on the traffic to our pages back in 2003 - five years after going on-line. Back then the number of four-page-equivalent documents downloaded were around 180,000 per month, a level which was maintained until the end of 2004. From then the number steadily increased to what has been for the last four years - 750,000 to 1,250,000 four page equivalent documents per month.
We have visitors from every country in the planet - even from some that we did not know even existed! On the average, the number of returning visitors is 10 % of of the total, while we reach 90% new individuals every month.
All of the above continues to be possible through the Grace of God manifested through our personal efforts and the hands of the collaborators who have believed in the function God has called miguel de Portugal, and, as the saying goes: "Place their money where their heart is!" May God richly Bless them for their loyalty to Him.
With only two months it is hard to compare with the numbers for last year and the previous three. Nonetheless, using the actual count of earthquakes we can make the following estimates.
The level of greater than 5.0 in the Richter scale earthquakes has continued the pace set for the entire 2017 year.
As you may remember, in the year 2017 we had 2.6 times as many over 5.0 earthquakes than in the average of the three previous years. Or looking at it differently: There were an average of 122 earthquakes per month for the year 2017 as compared to an average of 48 earthquakes per month for for the previous three years combined.
From miguel de Portugal
We continue to be deeply concerned about the spreading plague of the state of denial - the consequences of which, believe it or not, is almost equivalent to the consequences of suicide.
In very simple terms.... Whatever we are denying we will have to face and deal with sooner or later - there is no escaping from it. As an infection, the more the dealing with whatever we are denying is delayed, the greater the infection and the consequences associated with it when we have to finally face it.
A qualifying note: A temporary denial state may be healthy as long as we are fully aware of it. It means that we have consciously placed an issue on hold until we are better prepared to face it and solve it.
The parallel with suicide is amazing, except with suicide, there is no "placing it on hold".
An individual commits suicide because he/she cannot deal with a particular situation and sees suicide as a way of escaping facing it. The tragedy is that when said individual crosses the veil, he/she will find out that the situation - or its across-the-veil modified version - still needs to be dealt with by him/her. The problem now is that all a soul can do in Purgatory is pray for others because it is fully dependent on the charitable prayers of those who may pray for them.... and as we know, even the people who believe in the reality of Purgatory hardly pray for the souls there - souls who are in so much need of assistance.
To help those who live in denial or may have suicidal tendencies are two other very good reasons for us to pray for those who are suffering as the result of our (hopefully past) iniquities and greed.
Do you wonder why... everyone is being blamed by the opioid crisis in the U.S. except the physicians who have prescribed them, obviously carelessly, on a "wholesale basis"?
We did wonder ourselves, until we found out that the third cause for death in the US, after heart disease and cancer, are medical errors according to a research led by Johns Hopkins surgeon Dr. Martin Makary. If you can face that reality, here is the report.
Did you know that.....
- After declining from 1990 to 2007, suicide rates among teens aged 15–19 have been on the rise, doubling among females and increasing 31% among males.
- Suicidal behavior is complex and associated with multiple risk and protective factors, many of which are common in youth.
- Communities can help prevent suicide by using strategies based on best available evidence, working with suicide prevention organizations, and promoting information about lifelines for people in distress. (1)
Comments: May this be another reminder of why we must continue to seek Divine Mercy - as a group effort - upon those who are suffering throughout the world as the result of our past (and sometimes still) iniquities and greed.
We worry so much about the damage to the environment, yet we ignore the damage that we continue to cause to our young ones.

From miguel de Portugal
The first Mass reading for the Thursday of the Second Week of [Traditional] Lent [Jer 17:5-10] was:
Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in
flesh, whose heart turns away from the LORD. He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no
change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit.
More tortuous than all else is the human heart, beyond remedy; who can understand it?
I, the LORD, alone probe the mind and test the heart, to reward everyone according to his ways, according to the merit of his deeds.

More tortuous than all else is the human heart, beyond remedy; who can understand it?
I, the LORD, alone probe the mind and test the heart, to reward everyone according to his ways, according to the merit of his deeds.
It never ceases to amaze us that God has been delivering the same message to humanity since the time of Abraham and man still cannot believe it, even when he can see the fulfillment of the messages in his life repeatedly over the millenia. God, in the Person of Jesus, came to answer the implied question to humanity of "What is what you cannot understand about the Law and the Prophets?" and, in spite of it all - Crucifixion and Resurrection included - the majority still did not get it.
I can understand not acting upon all the warnings as well as the guidance given by the Holy Texts by those who have lived at the margin of said Holy Texts - as I did in the first 42 years of my life. What I cannot understand is that the billons of Christians, Muslims and Jews who claim to practice their respective faiths ignore the guidance and warnings contained in the Holy Texts as history has shown over and over again all the way to today.
Just a reminder as to what is behind what is taking place in the world today and what will take place lest the Elect be lost too.
From Mr. GR @ US
Am writing to you in response to your heartfelt expression of the bodily pains you are presently going through.
In spite of that you still seem to keep to a regular schedule of writing.
God Bless you!
GR
A. Thank you for your kind words and Blessing, as well as for the opportunity to remind one and all that: (a) prayer does work; and (b) for/with God all is possible.
As we wrote in our March 1st posting:
Our lives should be a never ending string of Thanksgiving to God and if, or when, we find
ourselves in a difficult or very painful situation, more than ever, we should pray....
Most Holy Trinity, as an act of my free will, I totally abandon myself into Your Hands; do with
me what You Will. Whatever You may do, I thank you; I am ready for all; I accept
all that You Will be done in me and in all Your creatures - I wish no more than this, O
Lord, other than you sustain me throughout whatever I may have to go through so that I may serve
You as You Will.
I offer that prayer daily and it is precisely because of the underlined portion of it that we have been able to '...keep to a regular schedule of writing.'
Being God as God Is, He has taken this matter one step further in case I missed the 'Divine Wink'. We have actually been able to get more accomplished in many areas of our work than we normally have in spite of living in a 7/24 purgatory of pain.
Have you heard that... a church in Pennsylvania held a controversial Blessing Ceremony For AR-15 assault rifle on February 28th? (1)
The controversial event took place just two weeks after 17 people were killed in a Florida high
school by a gunman using the same weapon.
The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, an offshoot of the (Moonie's) Unification Church, invited couples to bring their semi-automatic rifles to the church on Feb. 28 to "show their willingness to defend their families, communities and nation."
According to the church's website, the ceremony focused on the "rod of iron" and each couples' pledge to defend their home and the coming nation of Cheon Il Guk - the biblical kingdom of God referred to in Scripture (2).
The church describes the "rod of iron" as an "AR-15 assault rifle or equivalents such as an AK semiautomatic rifle."

The church describes the "rod of iron" as an "AR-15 assault rifle or equivalents such as an AK semiautomatic rifle."
Comments: If the event had been directed at seeking Divine protection so that such weapons were never used to harm people, that would have indeed been beautiful act. Instead, they are seeking a Divine Blessing to show their willingness to violent behavior. Worse yet, to establish the Kingdom of God (2) through violence.
While on this subject, let us take a look at the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as we did some days back with the Second Amendment.
Quoting from the amendment as adopted in 1791 (3):
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof;.... , and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Obviously such right cannot, under any imaginable circumstance, allow a religion to incite and/or promote violence. Any kind of violence. It should logically follow that any religion, or official representative thereof, acting in such manner should have their credentials removed and answer to a court of law.
The moment we allow an individual or group the freedom to act in an illegal manner - as determined by Civil Law - the freedoms of all others are being violated.
Jesus never, ever, by word or deed chose violence as the means of solving a religious or civil problem.
Just because those who have claimed, and claim, Christianity as their faith have done it and continue to do it, does not make it right. That is why Jesus has already passed judgment on Christian religious leaders.
Yes; it is really that simple! and Yes; we are that blind!

In reference to the following Biblical quotation.
Its interesting the choice of the Biblical translations of some passages.
I read from the Douay-Rheims (d-r) and the 1611 King James (kjv) version. kjv uses "repentance" or "repent" and the (d-r) uses "penance" in the same passage. Different meanings. I have found this discrepancy in other publications when biblical passages are quoted.
Catholics use "penance" and kjv uses "repentance" in the same verse. I wonder which is right?
IW
A. Thank you for writing, thus allowing to address this issue again.
First of all, a thorough review of our documents Biblical Literalism Parts I (1) and II (2) will help clarify the "why" of so many different "Words of God" when there is really one. We recommend the review of those documents since they will serve to fortify the Faith in the Word of God.
Now, the direct answer to your question: "I wonder which is right?" The correct word is indeed "repentance".
Your inquisitive mind Glorifies God.

On February 24 in the FYI&R there was an item referencing an article by Jerry Woodrull on Samuel Francis on Immigration and the Ruling Class. I printed the source document.
It was almost like a blueprint of all that is taking place in the world. The footnote said it was "lightly edited," I wanted to read the entire document. In my search I discovered that Samuel Francis, known as Sam Francis, was a White Nationalist as is Jerry Woodruff.
.....
I know God will use Pharaoh, but this article may have been taken out of context. Sam Francis had no love for people of color or for immigration or immigrants.

A. Thank you for the research done. As the result of it we have added to the on-line version of the appropriate For Your Information and Reference post the following clarification after the last quoted paragraph.
From miguel de Portugal
In accordance to the Calendar used by Jesus, we observed Ash Wednesday yesterday, on February 28th.
The Mystical Parish was fully involved - including the placing of the ashes - through one member of the Mystical Parish physically present.
For some reason - perhaps it was because of the record breaking level of pain I was enduring then - the whole concept of Lent took a completely different aspect precisely on that day. I will briefly list the high points, which are probably politically incorrect as most truths are.
First of all - What we are supposed to be doing through the Lenten period, which is seeking that our soul rules the body and not the reverse, we should be doing all year round. We can observe two days of fasting every single week of the year, as Mary has suggested before.
While, every day of the year we can be offering up the denial of little physical pleasures as they arise throughout the day - not all of them, but enough for our soul to retain the control of our bodies 24hrs/365days.
We humans act as we are doing God a favor by living according to His Laws and practicing non fanatical penance as Mary taught us through Fatima:
The One Who is doing the real favor is God by giving us an opportunity to return to Paradise.
He even gives us the instructions (His basic Divine Laws) to make our navigation through this life as easy as possible, yet most rebel against that "light yoke" turning their lives into a never ending string of miseries.... and then, most complain to God for the miseries they brought upon themselves by ignoring Him!
Our lives should be a never ending string of Thanksgiving to God and if, or when, we find ourselves in a difficult or very painful situation, more than ever, we should pray....
The Lenten period should be a period of focusing on the Salvific events found in the readings from the daily Masses. They will spiritually and psychologically build us up to Passion Week, and then, to the Glorious Resurrection.
As for the rest of the year... we should live it in the true spirit of Lent which is an act of continual and conscious Thanksgiving to God for the benefits He grants us for our sincere efforts to live in accordance to His Will, and for our sincere repentance, when we occasionally transgress.
In reference to the following Biblical quotation.
3 No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those
eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors
above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you
shall all likewise perish. [Luke 13]

Although Samuel Francis and Jerry Woodruff are considered White Nationalists - a
mentality which we certainly do not share - the quoted segments from the article in
question accurately portray the details of the Globalists' plans.
As we have said many times, even satan must serve God and Messrs. Francis and Woodruff accurate portrayal of the Globalists' plan has served God very well.
