<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"> Many times throughout my life, I have experienced events, that I will mention here.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Just a few days ago, I had an important meeting to attend, at the VA Hospital. Anxiously, I </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">tossed the needed articles into my truck and began to arrange the topics of discussion into </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">an organized outline for delivery. The clock ticked away, allowing me some moments to</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">rest and relax. Sitting in my truck I noticed that the minutes passed, more rapidly than I </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">desired. Time to start the engine and depart to my destination had arrived.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"> The only event that occurred next was the disappearance of my keys. I went back into the house,</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">entered the den, looked on top of the desk, and found no keys. </span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I went to the kitchen gazed at the</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">countertop, no keys. Ok !! Where are my keys ? I noticed that the time had moved forward, </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">giving me less time to frantically rummage through the rooms, looking for my keys.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Anxiety and angry about the circumstance I was in, I began to perspire and mumble words,</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I used while on board ship. “My keys !!! Where are my keys ??” I loudly cried (screamed?).</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">The Municipal Garbage trucks were on the other block, the sound of the lifts getting louder.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I ran out to the curb and like a frightened field rat, I burrowed into the week's debris. Nothing !!</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">No Keys !!! Defeated !! I Surrendered !! A memory of my Granma flashed into my mind.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Granma told us many times about how she would request the aid of a Saint, named Anthony.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">Saint Anthony of Padua !! Breathing slowly, I made the Sign of the Cross and quietly said</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">a short prayer of petition. Time seemed to slow down almost to give me a reprieve. “Ok !!</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">St. Anthony, Do your thing !!” Being still a bit agitated I went and sat down, half trusting</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">that any results would happen because of my prayer.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"><br /></span></strong></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I than felt a pinch, a bite, a gouge, on my right buttock. Thinking that I had possibly sat on a</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">spider or that a wasp had just been interrupted I jumped up. I grabbed the point of pain</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">and with an embarrassed jolt, I realized that the pain was caused by the missing set of</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">keys. I was happy that I found these in my pocket, and that no one else was near to see</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">the many fluorescent shades of red emanating from my face.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"> I gathered composure, started the truck, and drove to the meeting.While thinking of what to</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">say to the others about my tardiness, I said a prayer of Thanksgiving to St. Anthony of Padua.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">I know that without his aid the event would have been different.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;"> I learned a lesson that day about the practice of prayer....!! Instead of exhaustingly running</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow;">around attempting to solve life`s quagmires with my own limited ability. Praying sincerely</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> As one drives through the many towns of the
United States,. one becomes aware </span><span style="font-size: large;">of the emptiness of some of the
towns. Many at one time were filled with ambitious </span><span style="font-size: large;">people. Consider a small town
located within the `Crow Reservation`. This town at one time boasted about its
three grocery markets, four restaurants with cantinas, and a large lumber industry,
which employed many of the citizens.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Today all that remains there is a grocery store and a tavern, both of
them supported by </span><span style="font-size: large;">a United States Aid Program.
Lining the trash littered streets are boarded and burnt buildings that urban
blight has caused.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Crimes of all type seem to be the only activities progressing and
employing those </span><span style="font-size: large;">who are desperate to find what
needs to be done to live.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">The elderly
and the youngest </span><span style="font-size: large;">children huddle together asking
themselves ; “ How much more can we endure ?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Children are being born, at a rate of almost one a week. These newborns
are </span><span style="font-size: large;">tossed to the compassionate
grandmas, to be cared for</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">as best as
possible. These </span><span style="font-size: large;">children will grow up surrounded
by a negative environment, depriving them of </span><span style="font-size: large;">opportunities for healthy living.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lets consider `Lil` Stephanie, a young girl who ought to be attending
school. </span><span style="font-size: large;">She roams the streets selling
acorns, aluminum cans, and begging for change. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">for children like Lil` Steph. the future may
be one of misery </span><span style="font-size: large;">for many of these energetic
children, because they do not have the opportunities to learn colors,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">numbers, letters, or even to how
write their names.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These innocent lives are trapped by the heavy chains of poverty,
disease, drug </span><span style="font-size: large;">infestation and despair. Their
`Dreams` about the future are filled with darkness, </span><span style="font-size: large;">hopelessness, and decay. There is
a solution that many can take part in daily to </span><span style="font-size: large;">change this sadness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You and I (we) can change the miasma that envelopes these towns. WE have </span><span style="font-size: large;">been given the blessed privilege to pray.
We have been given the ability to mention these </span><span style="font-size: large;">towns and people to a
Compassionate Father God who cares for them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The power of prayer and intercession on their behalf can remove the
mountains, </span><span style="font-size: large;">and break the strongholds of
despair, darkness, and death, keeping these towns </span><span style="font-size: large;">captive.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Our prayers can open spiritual doors so that
avenues of deliverance b</span><span style="font-size: large;">ecome available.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Eucharistic Liturgies, Novenas, Rosaries, and
Faith filled Prayers in</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the Name of Jesus Christ, our
Redeemer, will cause Resurrection Life to </span><span style="font-size: large;">flow from Heaven. Blessings will
arrive, these towns will be changed !!</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;"> Thirty years ago a documentary aired on National T.V. The series viewed for a week, and included</span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">well prepared scientific material researched by Carl Sagan. The title of this documentary is `Cosmos`.</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">An amazing statement was proclaimed by Dr. Sagan; “The Cosmos is all there is, all there ever was, </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">and all that there ever will be.” Dr. Sagan`s pronouncement was presented after his many hours of </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">scientific research, defining and verifying the evidence, before he made his statement.</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">Science, mankind`s applied knowledge for the reasons for life, suggests that every effect, or event, </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">must have a cause. The *Big Bang* theory is the reason the Universe exists. This could be the possible </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">reason, but there had to be a cause for this event to occur. I believe this event occurred because of a </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">Person, known as God, who spoke *The Word*. Science has denied the evidence of this, many times.</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;"><br /></span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">Many years ago, at San Francisco State University. There was a Biology educator, Dean Kenyon, he </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">co-authored a book : *Biochemical Predestination*. The scientific presentation underlining this work </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">was to state a hypothesis that “all living organism evolved from non-living materials, chemical</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">processes found in nature.” I find this rather absurd due to the fact that the chemicals, the materials, </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">had to have an origin. How and where did the this originate ?</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">There must be a Creator who spoke and is orchestrating this marvel that is the Cosmos. Dr. Kenyon arrived at this</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">conclusion, yet he was silenced by the Science Dept. and denied the liberty to present his conclusions.</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">“The Theory of Evolution must not be contested.” was the University's final statement.</span></em></strong></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;"> In 1925, the A.C.L.U. argued that school systems must offer a variety of theories concerning how </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">the Universe began. For a period of time, classes offered many different theories and</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">viewpoints about the Cause of the Universe.

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">of Evolution would be the only rational explanation given.

Therefore the students of today</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">are manipulated into accepting a `one way` closed minded, set of probabilities presented to </span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: large;">them by atheistic and agnostic educators.</span></em></strong></div>

The Old Testament (Hebrew
Scriptures) predicted Jesus Christ. Throughout the many books of Judaism there
are prophecies. These prophecies point forward to the birth, death, and
resurrection, of the One named Jesus of Nazareth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Found in the reading of the
handwritten documents and letters of the followers of Jesus Christ, known as
the New Testament, are the fulfilling events of the prophecies. Throughout the ages there have been skeptics,
who have always questioned and attempted to contradict the eyewitness accounts
of these writings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

these more educated times, there have been intellectual individuals, scholars,
doctors, and many adepts of scientific thought, who were at one time skeptics,
but now have changed their beliefs about Jesus the Christ.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lets take a few moments of time, during the evening, to contemplate on the
Light that eternally shines. Reflecting upon the quotes of the scholars, let’s
remember the awareness of His Presence. The Presence of Jesus Christ perceived
and felt many times during our communal gatherings, prayer meetings, and

As a simple introduction to this article I propose a short reflection for you all.<br />
Lately we have had some human set-backs to our accustomed comfort along the road of life.<br />
We have had the news of David and Veronica<br />
We have had the news of Don Dean's demise<br />
We have had the demise of Antonio, Belle's brother<br />
We have the struggle of John, a friend of ours<br />
We now hear about the serious condition of Lennie<br />
We know that Jeanne is really not that well<br />
We also know that Laurie needs our prayers<br />
We know that Tony could use our blessings<br />
We should really accompany his loving children in prayer so that they can all live in God's peace<br />
We should never forget Brian's family in our prayers<br />
We know that Sue, Denis' sister-in-law, cancer<br />
Denis's friends Barbara and relative, cancer<br />
We heard about Emelie's friend who died while they were chatting on the telephone<br />
We also pray for our friend Javier in SoCal, quite ill<br />
with dangerous complications<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I mention all these people at this time, because the news keeps coming to me and I have the mission to make sure that God gets to hear our cry for help. This happens to be the day when, by an an act of Providence a member of our La Salette Lay Missionary Community composed a short meditative poem about the unity of God's community here on earth as lived through the mystery of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. He mentions in four distinct thoughts the mystery of Unity contained in the mixture of the drop of water that is added to the Sacred Blood of Christ in the chalice at Mass. Every day, around the world, that mystery is remembered and therefore reinserted into our relationship with Jesus Christ. We may not be present before the altar of sacrifice when it happens, but we know that it is real and that the very thought of it puts us in contact with Christ and with one another.</span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">We don’t have a boring Faith, because we don’t have a boring God. From the very Beginning, Super-Natural events are reported in writing and fill the pages of the Scriptures about how magnificent and exciting our God is. Considering the amount of splendor describing our God found not only in Sacred Scripture, but in many other writings, I am limiting this to the fulfillment of two Prophetic verses that Isaiah proclaimed. These are found in the Book of Isaiah chapter <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_461304150" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:14</span></span>, and in </span></span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">chapter 53.

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> Miracles are followed by more manifestation of miracles throughout the readings pertaining </span></span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">to our Lord Jesus Christ. A miracle is an event or a series of conditions that cannot be explained by scientific theory, or according to the known laws of nature. Super-Natural is a descriptive way of </span></span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">describing miracles. An `Action of God` is a popular expression used by those who believe.</span></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> The Apostle John wrote a Prophetic verse found in the Gospel bearing his name. John says </span></span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">“if all the works of Jesus could be written, the world could not contain all the books.” This prophecy has been and is being fulfilled to this very day. To experience this, all you have to do is enter a bookstore, or enter the terms “Christian reading material / books” in a computer search engine.</span></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Throughout History and presently, people of all the Earth's nations, have called upon the Name of Jesus Christ in prayer. The outpouring of God`s Love and Mercy in response to the prayers directed to Him in profound trust are voluminous and overwhelming. We witness healings of many hopeless illnesses, deliverances from “impossible” situations, the filling of needs of the many, and the satisfying of acutely `heart felt` desires of many on a daily basis.</span></span></i></b></div>

The Presence of our Risen King Jesus Christ can be perceived when we turn to Him to send up a sincere request for His Presence. Many times, in many places, many people</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 18pt;">, </span><b><i><span style="font-size: 18pt;">with just a very small amount of Trust, have experienced *Supernatural* (miraculous) answers to prayer in their entire being.</span></i></b></span></div>

the above Scriptures we become aware that there are periods in Life when we perceive
that all around us is “darkness.” Moments of darkness have been since the
Beginning of Creation. In Genesis we read that the Earth was `dark and
void` and that from this came forth *Light.* In Psalm 30:5, we read that
weeping (discouragement) may be for awhile, yet afterward is the morning. When
we trust in the Reality that the `darkness` will pass, the time spent during the night can still be
filled with positive, faith filled, enthusiastic actions.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

that the sadness of the death of Jesus is filling the hearts of the
disciples. Yet as the followers enter the tomb they are struck with the
*Brightness* of the moment. An Angel of God announces that Jesus has risen.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</tbody></table>
When I hear these words coming from Pilate I can't help but think that they are being said from the same frame of mind as when Caiphas said, <b>"If this is from God, nothing can stop it."</b><br />
I also remember the first chapter of John's Gospel when John states emphatically,<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">He came to what was his own,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> and his own people did not accept him." [John 1;11] </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I think that it is an important reminder to us who consider ourselves to be faithful disciples that if Pilate can show a glimmer of faith in the mystery that took place before him, we had better stay ready and open to all that God places before us along the road of life.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Today I sat there in the Benedictine monastery where the Passion Story was being chanted wondering about the toughness of Pilate before the officials of Jerusalem as compared to the weak heartedness of Jesus' closest disciples. I was also asking myself if, like Peter, I need some prodding to enter the gate and come around the fire of the Savior's loving suffering. John wasn't afraid, he was there, inside the courtyard and he had been recognized as a friend of the Captive. He didn't have to be invited; Maybe he was daring the temple officials to try him too; John didn't take out his sword. He carried his faith out in the open believing that in the presence of the Divine Lamb he had nothing to fear.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">What about us? Do we fiddle faddle around the edges waiting to be invited? Maybe it is time to repent; maybe it is time to reconcile ourselves with God and His expectations of us for the greater glory of His Mission.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></b>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">Quand j'entends ces mots
venant de Pilate Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser qu'ils sont prononces dans
le même l'esprit que lorsque Caïphe dit: «Si cela vient de Dieu, rien ne peut
l'arrêter. »<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">Je me souviens aussi du
premier chapitre de l'Evangile de Jean, où John affirme catégoriquement: «Il
est venu chez les siens, et les siens ne l’ont pas accepté. " [ Jean 1 ,
11 ]<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">Je pense que c'est un rappel
important pour nous qui nous considérons comme disciples fidèles, que si Pilate
peut montrer une lueur de la foi dans le mystère qui a lieu devant lui, nous
ferions mieux de rester prêt et ouvert à tout ce que Dieu place devant nous le
long de la route de la vie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">Aujourd'hui je me suis assis
là, dans le monastère bénédictin où se chantât l’histoire de la Passion et je
m'interrogeais sur la ténacité de Pilate devant les fonctionnaires de Jérusalem
par rapport à la faible insouciance des plus proches disciples de Jésus. Je me
demandais si, comme Pierre, j'ai besoin <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">d’insistance à entrer par la
porte pour venir me tenir autour du feu
de la souffrance du Sauveur. Jean n'avait pas peur. Il était là, dans la cour
et il a été reconnu comme un ami du captif. Il n'avait pas attendu d’être
invitée; Peut-être même qu'il posait un défi effronté aux responsables du
temple ; Jean n'a pas pris son épée.
Il a porté sa foi à l'air libre de croire que dans la présence de l'Agneau divin,
il n'avait rien à craindre.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="FR"><span style="color: blue;">Qui sommes nous? Sommes-nous
des bricoleurs timides qui nous tenons juste dehors de la clôture espérant que
quelqu’un viendra vers nous pour nous inviter? Peut-être que c’est la saison du
repentir ; peut-être qu'il est temps de se réconcilier avec Dieu et ses
attentes de nous pour la plus grande gloire de sa mission .</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="ES-MX"><span style="color: #274e13;">Cuando oigo esas
palabras viniendo de Pilato no puedo evitar de pensar que se dicen a partir de la
misma mente que cuando Caifás dijo: "Si esto es de Dios, nada puede
detenerlo."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="ES-MX"><span style="color: #274e13;">También recuerdo el
primer capítulo del Evangelio de Juan, cuando Juan dice enfáticamente: "
Vino a los suyos, y los suyos no le recibieron. " [Juan 1, 11]<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="ES-MX"><span style="color: #274e13;">Creo que es un
recordatorio importante para nosotros que nos consideramos discípulos fieles
que si Pilato puede mostrar un atisbo de fe en el misterio que tuvo lugar antes
que él, habíamos permanecer más listo y abierto a todos los que Dios pone
delante de nosotros a lo largo del camino de la vida .<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="ES-MX"><span style="color: #274e13;">Hoy me senté en el
monasterio benedictino donde se estaba cantando la Pasión. Me preguntaba sobre la dureza de Pilatos ante
los funcionarios de Jerusalén, en comparación con la despreocupación débil de
los discípulos más cercanos de Jesús. Yo también me preguntaba si, al igual que
Pedro , necesito un poco de insistencia para entrar en la puerta para acercarme
del fuego del sufrimiento del Salvador. Juan no tenía miedo. El estaba allí, en el interior del patio y
que había sido reconocido como un amigo de la Cautiva. Él no tenía que haber
sido invitado; Tal vez él estaba desafiando los oficiales del templo para
juzgarlo demasiado; Juan no tomó su espada. Él llevó su fe seguro que, en presencia
del Cordero Divino no tenía nada que temer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="ES-MX"><span style="color: #274e13;">¿Qué pasa con
nosotros? ¿Quedémonos alrededor de los bordes a la espera de ser invitado ? Tal
vez es hora de arrepentirse; tal vez es hora de reconciliarnos con Dios y Sus
expectativas de nosotros para la mayor gloria de Su Misión.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Once upon a time, more than 800 years ago there lived a rich son born of privilege who found true treasure in the abundance of God's creation. He set aside his fine toggery, his spirited horse, fine wine and comfortable abode. He not only turned away from all the material comforts to which he had access, he also spurned the ego comfort of leadership in favor of the communitarian warmth of brotherhood. He never married, at least not to another human being. His true spouse was his beloved Church. <br />
<br />
To him is attributed the following prayer. Oh, would that it were so. As it is, the prayer is just a little bit over 100 years old. It comes from France, not Italy. Even though it is not from St. Francis, it is our humble opinion that it has the soul of Francis. We offer it to you for the depth of its spiritual value. We also suggest that you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis">click here</a> for the historical information about it. You'll notice that you will still appreciate it, no matter the historical background. It is a very popular and a spiritually moving poetic prayer.<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">All is well !!</span></b> The mandatory rituals of University Life are consuming the hours of society's youth. This humdrum existance of repetitive intellectual activity has pre-empted the present moments, only to be followed by still more of the same. The very structure of mankind is being pushed aside by the momentum of the filing of never to be used knowledge.<br />
Decades have passed, hour upon hour, bit by bit, still the population cries for more. More time, more food, more technical advancements, till the very Heart of Humanity will no longer exist.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">All is well !!</span></b> The adolescent rebels against the tide of yesterdays invention, only to repeat the same pattern of `that` which was before without appreciating the good that it represented.<br />
Infants in throw away diapers growing, so that space will be made for more infants, in `new improved` toss away diapers. The aging close their eyes to the Fresh Horizons, gazing only at yesterday's fading colors. Life gets fresher for the young seekers while it slips through the the slower moving shadows of the elderly mind.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">All is well !!</span></b> The Light of years traveling in dreamy memories and finally perceived by the eyes of today, yet no longer existing at the source. Sounds of many atomic structures listened to by many with letters following their names. This and much more being considered by others attempting to decipher the music of oceanic mammals. Yet starving children sit and cry because of the hunger that may never be satisfied.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">All is well !!</span></b> Billions of `greenbacks` traded for more of the same, people stretching, perspiring, and given monetary awards by simply winning a meaningless game. Student gatherings shouting, expressing pride in their athletic teams; the mothers of martyrs harmonizing their screams, hoping for an eternal crown of Laurel. <br />
Lonely girls at home folding hands in prayer, imagining that a knight in shining armor is out there who will one day be theirs.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">All is well !!</span></b> The Baptist preacher invites many to follow the Lord. The Australian Aborigine repeats time tested sounds from a hollowed out gourd. Industrial cities laid out as waste, a winebibber guzzling aftershave just to ease the taste. Prophets only guessing at when it will end.<br />
This is just a *Hammering* that flowed freely, that I send. I am stopping now, at the gateway of hell, yet I still hear the `Voices` shouting ***All is well !! ***<br />

Saying that the U.S. immigration system is "broken" is like saying that the girl's hymen is broken after she has been raped. Saying that the health care system in the U.S. is "broken" falls into the same category.<br />
These are not "broken" systems. they have been raped, and in fact, not just raped, but gang raped.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xKb-2ZT5kG8cBC1VrjaJa9eAuTelod0QUDhD-PHE57bTiYbrfJ0fUVweBDZXnyWK5XszwalaO7M2DuuC0o-k4-nQQRaNPVGzFm2gJCeCQ5vZAWg3r5tZCGK5D6de3ccd10NQgedQWpo/s1600/woman-gang-raped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xKb-2ZT5kG8cBC1VrjaJa9eAuTelod0QUDhD-PHE57bTiYbrfJ0fUVweBDZXnyWK5XszwalaO7M2DuuC0o-k4-nQQRaNPVGzFm2gJCeCQ5vZAWg3r5tZCGK5D6de3ccd10NQgedQWpo/s400/woman-gang-raped.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://365newthoughtsperyear.blogspot.com/2012/06/self-deportation-its-all-in-your-mind.html">In 1986 the Simpson - Mazzoli act became law. </a> The core of the law is that no person who is not able to prove via documentation that he/she has the legal right to be in the country should not be hired to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the time of the creation of the form I-9. I was a director of human resources for a large international company in San Diego, California at the time. I saw what was coming, so I attended the training sessions that the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) presented to human resources managers, directors and other significant business leaders to learn how to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit documents. As it turns out, it was far from rocket science, to use an old expression. It took me about 30 seconds to realize that an authentic Social Security card was printed by an inked,cloth like ribbon and you could tell immediately. Cards that were printed from any other media were bogus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also learned how to detect counterfeit "Green Cards" in a flash. No one got by me. No one. Some challenged my judgment and none won. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had to deal with sloppy "temp" agencies. That was easy. If they did not cooperate with me, they lost the business. It also cost them a lunch for which they got nothing but my stiff-necked refusal to hire undocumented people that they presented. It was easy. I learned and I acted. I refused offers for money, gifts and yes, sex. In one instance, the most pressure was laid to bare by a politically well placed engineering director of a very successful and well heeled government contractor. I beat him too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The immigration system is not broken. It has been raped for all the years that it has been in place. Yes, the very people who passed the laws, the very people who have the responsibility to enforce the law prefer to take money and make whores of themselves rather than to live by what they propose that others should practice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next time you hear that a "system" is broken, any system, rest assured that the person who is saying that is one of the whores who takes the money from the "johns" who don't want to submit to the requirements of the system. I have stories about the health care system too. I also have stories about the labor law system. I do not have to invent them. They happened right in front of my very eyes. Some of them are still happening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, friends and neighbors, enjoy the ride. It takes a real sense of humor to be able to get through life. I often wish I had the talent of a political cartoonist. I don't, so I guess I'll just have to get by with the little talent that I have.</div>

<strong style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">As I have journeyed through life, over many winding paths, I have tasted the many fruits of the Tree of Life. Not all of the fruit were sweet, some were filled with bitterness. In my early days </span></strong><strong style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">of searching for Peace within myself. I wandered into the deceptions and delusions of the bad fruit that looked good. Ahh! the wonders of psychedelics, methamphetamines, and the </span></strong><strong style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">thirst quenching beverages of alcohol. </span></strong><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">These beverages never quenched my thirst, only made me thirst for more. Trusting in the combinations of these fruits to lead me to an </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">enlightenment, only led me to be seduced into a web of illusions, deceptions, and debauchery.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">I lived this life of darkness and found that with it came the treasures of darkness. A falsehood that caused me to believe that I was blessed with all that life had for me. As time proceeded </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">the treasures became the chains that held me tight in a grip that I could not break free from. The only way that I seemed to be blessed in these chains was to partake more of the fruit that </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">caused more bondage. These chains I found were held by a `beast`, a beast that was never satisfied by the amount of the bitterness, guilt, shame, and debauchery that I continued in.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">I became fodder for this beast because rapidly all the pleasures that I had found were taken and I had no way to hold on to the blessings I thought I had. Soon my life with every bit of </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">myself was to be consumed by this beast.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">Suddenly a moment of time arrived when a traveler on this planet Earth collided with me crossing this path of destruction. This traveler introduced me to a group of travelers that knew </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">of my agony and pain. These travelers asked me if I desired to be freed from this beast. I cried in anguish the answer; “Yes ! I need to be free !!” With the quarter of sanity that I had I </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">grabbed hold of this `Spiritual Rope` that was offered to me. I grabbed hold of this Rope with both hands, and I was led to a step called `Surrender`. </span></strong> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">I being defeated and close to death, </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">I found this Surrendering easy. </span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">Feeling better, healthier, and having a position of employment that gave me an income, I became seduced by the sound of a familiar voice. The voice called </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">me in a very sensual way, similar to the songs of the mythical Siren of Greek lore. The glamor enticed me to follow its leading, surely this time all will be different. I am much healthier and </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">I will not allow myself to be chained, this time. “ I can do this !! There is still fun to be had !!” A new battle cry !! ......!!</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">A day arrived unlike any other that I had experienced occurred. A day in which I had a need, a need to find the `Rope`. The Rope that had in the past brought me to health and a life </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">that I had gave me a freedom of choice. I was brought to my knees pleading in prayer that a traveler would once again cross my path on this downward spiral. That same day I was </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">approached by a traveler that recognized me. Once again I was offered the Rope, this Rope that led to Liberation. I grabbed hold of the Rope, this time tying myself around the waist.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">Pulled into the gathering of travelers, I was once again led to the stairway, to the step named `Surrender`. Being tied with the Rope I seemed to be lifted to a concept of living One Day</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">at a Time !! I was introduced to a source of Power, a Way, a Truth, and a Life, that increased within me and seemed to flow through me to others. This Power I found was always close</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">as long as I followed directions that were suggested to me by the fellow travelers and remained willing to hold onto the Rope.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">As I traveled with this clan of travelers, I have heard others cry out in the pain that I had experienced; “Please ! Help me !” I did not know what to do to help others to be free from the</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">devouring beast. I asked others “What can I do ?” Following the directions that were given me and staying with the clan, these others were also set Free and Liberated from the beast.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605895996px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;">The Journey of Life does not have to be lived alone. For the last 50 years many have grabbed the Rope of Recovery and have been led to the Life giving steps of Narcotics Anonymous.</span></strong></div>

God of Everlasting Life, Bless us !! Thank You Lord, for all the<br />
areas of Your Presence !!<br />
How many times in our lives have we done things, such as<br />
participate in social activities, and thought to ourselves, "this<br />
is just to pass time" ?<br />
How many times have we written simple letters and cards to<br />
others, thinking that the writing was only momentary and would be quickly forgotten?<br />
Many years ago, in Lorraine France, a child was born,<br />
Nicolas Herman. As Nicolas matured he joined the Carmelite<br />
Order changing his name to Br. Lawrence of the Resurrection.<br />
Br. Lawrence's position at the monastery was in the kitchen.<br />
Day after day, Lawrence prepared food, washed dishes, and<br />
kept the kitchen clean. The tasks, although menial, were<br />
always done with enthusiasm.<br />
Br. Lawrence always lifted the tasks up as an offering of worship to our Creator. The kitchen always seemed to be filled with the Presence of God. The supplies seemed to always be sufficient and the work was always done.<br />
Br. Lawrence would write letters to others during his free time. A few of these letters were read by some members of the Church hierarchy. These officials were amazed at the depth, insight, and eloquence of the content in the letters.<br />
As time progressed the interest in the letters grew. The letters were gathered together and published into a book entitled *The Practice of the Presence of God* has been, and still is, read by Catholic and Protestant students alike.<br />
The message throughout the ages remains the same. This being that when the simple tasks of living are dedicated to God, with thanksgiving, they become an inspiration to others. A simple friendly greeting may have the Power to change someone`s Life. An action done with Love has the ability to change a community.<br />
In reflecting upon this let us not underestimate the significance of the simple moments of Life.<br />
<br />

Ephesians 6:12—<i>We are not fighting against beings made of flesh and blood, but against beings without physical forms. Rulers of an unseen world, princes of darkness, roaming throughout the metaphysical realms. </i><br />
Many of us have served in the military during times of war. An area of importance that we encountered during our service time was the learning about and the identification of the enemy. One of the ways to learn about the opposition was to know what the opposition was not. Spending hours studying, practicing, and drilling in the many ways of warfare gave us the ability to use correct tactics. Comparing the tactics that we used against those used by the enemy gave us the ability to perceive very quickly the difference between friend and foe. This principle is also useful in our Catholic Journey. As we grow and proceed forward on the Path that our Faith leads. We as soldiers in the Lord`s service learn about the challenger of our Faith by studying Scriptures. We also practice applying the Truth of Scripture in our lives which gives us the discernment of knowing the one that steals, kills, and destroys the Blessings our King Jesus gives us. The more we participate in the many activities of our Catholic Tradition the stronger and more confident we become as members of His militia.<br />
Communication with Headquarters is an important area in every battle ground maneuver. Soldiers in the field need to know what the orders are on a daily basis. We as combat warriors surrounded by the many Faith destroying minions also need to communicate with our Heavenly Commander and Chief, Jesus Christ. <br />
Prayer is our method of contact. We request our directions, get confirmed orders by the agreement found through our leaders, and we initiate the commands by our actions. The more we willingly persevere in our Scripture studies, our participation in the Sacraments, and our adapting ourselves to the time tested Traditions, the more areas we conquer for the Kingdom of our King Jesus Christ !!<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 24pt;"><span style="color: blue;">If one walks around with the nose in the air, one is going to end up flat on one`s face. In which case, the nose would then have been brought down, by none other than the very owner of the nose in question. But if one is content to be simply oneself, keeping one’s nose on the level and pointed in the direction of righteousness, one will become more than oneself."</span></span></div>

The Pharisees and Scribes of Jesus’ day knew all the answers to the many questions. Yet they arrogantly could not recognize the Son of God, the Messiah standing a mere nose-length in front of them. My prayer is that I always recognize Jesus, in the many faces that appear before my nose on any given day, every day of every week. It’s in these faces, the ones with which I come in contact everyday that I pray to see Jesus. I need to remember that others, like me, are created in the Image and Likeness of God.</span></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: blue;">Also along with this, Scripture mentions that Angels may be the strangers with whom I converse now and then.

Dung Heap Worms are found in many shapes and sizes. These can be small, so small that a microscope is needed.<br />
There are also some large enough to be seen from a distance. These Dung Heap Worms have the ability to blend with the surroundings, blending into other forms of life. The grouping of some of these grubs seem to consist of a very high social order. Sharing the environment with each other, these primary life forms even seem to have a `spiritual` order. Wherever decay, decomposition, and death is, there will be found the presence of these critters.<br />
There are also Dung Heap Worms that can be found in our daily lives. These worms will infiltrate areas of life wherever change, growth, and progress is occurring. The sound of these Dung Heap Worms is the sound of the many voices clashing. The voices shout out loudly all the reasons why change, growth, and progress, should not occur. These worms will creep in and whisper about all the pain, and discomfort that will happen.<br />
To get these Dung Heap Worms to squirm wildly, all one has to do is begin to pray, with sincerity. These worms detest Spiritual activities. These creatures crawl and multiply in the darkest areas. Wherever the Light is shining and the warmth of Life is present these crawlers shrivel.<br />
<br />
One finds in Scripture an example where the Dung Heap Worms caused a person to live insanely in a graveyard.<br />
Reading chapter 5, verses 1-19, of the Gospel of Mark, the community of the village could not rid the person of these destroying eaters. One also reads that the only solution to free the person from this miasmic condition is the Lord Jesus Christ. Even the apostles asked Jesus how He did it. The social activities of the village, the `pot lucks`, the parades, the reading of books, the long hours spent in tears could not rid the person of these Dung Heap Worms.<br />
<br />
The accepting of the worms with the affirmations that ‘they always have been, so they must always be’, will not cause the devouring to stop.<br />
As previously mentioned there is a solution !! These Life stealing worms are eliminated in a way that many find, only because all the many other ways have failed. The solution is found when one sincerely, with a humble willingness to pray, to fast and request the Lord Jesus Christ, to order these Dung Heap Worms to leave.<br />
Many times the exorcism of the Dung Heap Worms will happen during the simple act of the "possessed soul to take advantage of the sacrament of Reconciliation or during the celebration of Holy Mass, the praying of the Holy Rosary, and by loving service to others. The Presence of our Great Physician, Jesus Christ, will also Reconcile all areas that have been chewed upon by these Dung Heap Worms to Himself !!!<br />
With Reconciling Restoration!! Lets be Thankful !!<br />

<b>Galatians 5:1</b> Jesus Christ, our Lord has made us Free.<br />
<b>II Corinthians 7:13 </b>Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty !!!<br />
<br />
This may seem far fetched, and it is... but it is far <i>reaching</i> <u>reality</u>.<br />
<br />
A mother is tied to a post delivering a baby girl. A joy filled experience for the mother and others, in the back room of the brothel. The news is shared with the "<i>grandfather"</i>. (not as we think about "grandpa") Grandfather here is the man in charge of all activities of all reproductive activities in the "clinic" house of the *Business*. The baby girl will be raised as a<br />
number, a faceless one, till she begins her role in the *Business*. <br />
Contained in a box, a room about the size of 8` x 10`, this child will be given provisions of food, shelter, and conditioned affection. This is the beginning of another life, in the one of the oldest occupations on Earth.`farming of humans` for personal use.<br />
<br />
According to the U.S. State Dept. there are approximately 27 million `farms` found throughout the world. Human farming (slavery) is a well known part of the world's history. *The Business* (slavery) also known as *Human Farming* for gain is defined in the United Nations Victim Protection Act (TVPA-UN) as "any recruitment, housing, transport, providing and obtaining of any Human person, for the use in labor and service, through the use of force, fraud, coercion, or the provoking of individuals to do involuntary services, for the recreation of others."<br />
<br />
The *Business* aka *Human Trafficking* is happening all over the world, to Humans of all ages. <br />
<br />
In California, a 12 yr. old from Egypt is a household servant to a 1.6 million dollar land owner. The child is not allowed to leave the residence. The *Business* uses force and false promises to keep the "workers" bound to "company rules". Fear is the motivating force that keeps the workers from leaving the areas assigned. Years also go by without any of this activity being detected.<br />
A *Business* in Africa has rules and strict discipline for any "worker" that attempts to leave camp. A few "workers" have left the area, only to be found and their toes and heels of each foot to be sliced off. The *Business* uses deception and false promises to lure new employees.<br />
<br />
Example: In the Philippines an ad stated ; Free room, Free food, and Travel to exciting places with some of the world's wealthiest people. There was a group of individuals who gathered their belongings, enthousiastically signing the contract. During the first year with the *Business* the time was filled with many exciting events. Then, little by little each member was transferred to other areas of the world. Upon arrival these members were escorted into `temporary` facilities, and told that they would have to earn their way into a house. Many patiently and perseveringly worked from sunrise to sunset. Each day they would be told that “soon the house will be ready." As time continued forward, many noticed that the provisions<br />
of life were also being cut back. Any resistance to the conditions caused discipline to be administered in ways that are too numerous to mention.<br />
<br />
Consider Irma, a teenage girl from Haiti who lost all that she had a few years ago. A Gentleman rescued her from her desperate situation. The man was 20 yrs. her senior, an entrepreneur, and kind, so Irma followed his advice and signed up as his residential employee. During the first five years, Irma was surrounded with wealth, courtesy, and good living quarters. Irma willingly did the many chores on the Florida Ranch. Cleaning water tanks, brushing horses, fixing fences, and caretaking the Ranch. Not realizing that her future would change, Irma continued to be a friend, and a <i>good girl</i> at the Ranch...till one day Irma was found in a field, enveloped within the arms of Mother Nature.<br />
Irma had earned her Freedom !!!<br />
<br />
As a praying community we need to mention in our prayers, and keep in our journals, the men, women, and children, around the world who are captive to the *Business*. There are many agencies that assist those captured and held in these Human Farms. The halting of these *Businesses* can be done. If you know or hear of any trafficking of humans anywhere, call the <b>National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888 </b>.<br />
Lets never forget !!! <br />
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to Set the Captive Free !!! <br />
