undisciplined mind not only breaks the rules it cannot even see rules thus it is free

To me a truly great mind is one that is not structured. Educators would call it an “undisciplined mind”  … medicine might call it a “damaged mind” … psychologists might called it a mentally unbalanced mind … I call it the mind of a child… a young child… who stills believes all things are possible … I love children and I see time and time again how our educational system, and our society rapes children of true creative thoughts … The child is forced into conformity of thinking … told this “all things possible thinking” is magically thinking … not reality … to take that a step further logically  ... faith then can only be "magically thinking"... 

Meditation when done well and often, allows the person to dismiss core believes … This takes years of repeated meditation   … as a Catholic… it is labeled “prayer and contemplation” … On this note … repeated prayer … such as the Hail Mary is nothing more than a “mantra”, given to mankind in the form of words (the rosary)  … the power of that prayer is the meditation... not the words  

Mantra’s by definition are “repeated words” said over and over again, to shut down the “thinking mind”… you say the Hail Mary long enough … you get bored with it … your thinking mind will get bored with it … and it will drift away … that is when a person can really get into the “zone” …

 If you “use the Hail Mary” correctly it is a very effective tool to reach high levels of spirituality … if you use wrongly it locks you into “human thought” … Most “Mary cults” … use the Hail Mary as a means to label the Virgin Mary as being as  powerful as her Son … she is no more powerful than you or I …she just has "absolute faith"... there is not doubt in her ... her faith is not just faith it is her "truth" ... Is faith "truth to you"... 

 (And Jesus said this in Scripture… in his words… “Who is my mother”) …. The Hail Mary if used as “background music” to lure the conscious mind to sleep is most effective …  I see the Divine Mercy Chaplet in much the same way … it is word cue … a repeated word cue (a mantra) to still the conscious mind … Chanting does the same… reading prayers or a book, even the Bible… I think is  counter productive … to still the mind… such things make the mind think more (the human mind that is) … and to get to the “zone” … the human mind/ conscious thinking and thoughts are the “enemy” …

   

Must haves in deep spirituality and mystical experiences

1)      dismissal of all human core believes

2)      dismissal of any laws of nature/science/ physics you have been taught

3)      Dismissal of any religions you have been taught … if they involve “laws attached to them” … to me the saying giving to St. Peter…. “what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven” was a warning to Peter, by Jesus … such as “beware, if you say it cannot be done, and your thinking binds it to human thought, on earth  it will not be honored in heaven and hence it will not be done”… the use of the word “bound” by Jesus when saying this to Peter… once you bind something there is a limitation placed upon it  …

The other warning to us all in regards to “binding” is within the “Our Father”… with the words “forgive us our sins as we forgive others”… Hence I absolutely believe that Peter was the “prefect Pope” none like him since … he was “normal and a family man”… and although he was pushy … I do not think he “bound anything on earth”… Peter was grounded in truth, his family/wife in poverty and in struggle

…When a man is grounded in such … they do not seek to bind anyone … clearly he came across as a man who was struggling with his own crap in life … literally called himself a sinner, remembered that he betrayed Christ and was not worthy … so he did not cloth himself with rules and dogmas which would define what worthy was …

4)      Love … must have … not as we as human beings define love …it is not emotional, touchy feeling and in self …. As in your needs … it is in the presence of the greater among us … who is God … love God first… he will teach you to love self and your “self” will teach you to love others … that is the order … 

Do you hear what I hear?

I know someone that when they hear a crow… they say it sounds like the crow is saying “F- you”… “F- you”… so I listened to the crows one day … I mean,  I really listened and this is what I “heard”… “Thank-you, thank-you”…  

 I thought about the person who said the sound of a crow … sounds like “F-you” and I know this person is a negative type of individual, does not believe in God … and basically criticizes everything in life, one would say they are the “negative Nancy's' in life” …

How sad that even the call of a crow sounds negative to them … sad mind frame, which condemns nature itself, yet actually reflects their own thinking about the world …

 

Faith and the presence of God in the "real" world

Pictured above with my daughter is a young Dolores Catania (one of the NJ housewives) … Dolores is holding a lighted candle in her hand… we were all attending a procession in Paterson, in honor of the Virgin Mary, when this photo was taken (by me, around 1992) …

Dolores was also present during the events of 1/8/92 and witnessed firsthand hundreds of people praying before the Tabernacle at Our Lady of Pompeii Church in Paterson and many claiming miracles … Dolores and her family have deep faith and I watched her grown up … get married.. Have children… I have seen her struggles in life and saw how her faith got her through them all … Her children are delights, the eldest in Veterinary school and the youngest in college…  I remember when Dolores brought them home from the hospital, after they were born … such cute kids!

Frankie the youngest when I would see him growing up, he would tell me he prayed the rosary … a practice he still does… I saw him this past Easter and he told me he will never forget “the miracle of the small statue in Our Lady of Pompeii” and with those words Frankie took his thumb and traced a Cross on my forehead and said “Thank you Mary Jo, you are a big part of my growing up” … sweet young man filled with grace …

Frankie is considered a “dream boat” a hottie by many girls and teens… he has made movies and commercials and has his photo on book jackets … but to me he will always be that little boy… Who loved to be with his “nanna”… who loved to pray the rosary, whose heart is very kind, like his mother’s heart …

People see the glamour the actor or actress has, but not the faith … many celebrities have deep faith … one that comes to mind as I type now is Bob Hope and his wife, great talent, great love of those in the military and great faith, they always contributed to religious causes … some in my own diocese …

Black hats and shelve babies

A couple of years ago I took an online hacking course… yes,  you can get anything on the internet! 

 Not that I want to become a hacker, first of all it is illegal and second I do not have the skill set, and hacking is a skill, a mad skill of sorts.

I took the course to understand the lingo of a hacker and learn how easy it is for those with a skill set and desire to hack into a data base … it is the wild west on the internet… Black hats versus the White Hats …

Now since I am a bit rogue myself at times or a Don Quixote always fighting windmills in life … I have to say ... I secretly admire many of the hackers … and I admire the network that brought to the public Wiki leaks … The Pentagon Papers and "Anonymous" … I do not believe the world is made safer by a select group of elitists within any government, corporation or a religion hiding things from the public ... I also admire the courage of whistle blowers, they are the modern day martyrs . 

AH … but I learned to hack spiritual graces years ago … I use the term “hack liberally” … and I am trying to teach you all how to hack into God’s grace … and it is all “virtual”… no need for a man made computer or a lot of bandwidth  … the Master computer was already given to you … your brain and the software is located in your heart … turn on this internal device by sitting down (like you would sit at your desk, when doing work on a computer) .. Sit in a pew before the tabernacle … or hey if you are bohemian like me … just sit on the floor next to the tabernacle … log onto to Jesus Christ Truly Present and you are good to go!  This conversation, with Jesus is also encrypted, just for you and you will learn valuable information from "the source", which can be applied to your life.    

No need to wear a Black hat or a White hat the God/man before you already wore this type of head gear for you …  

Video games and the brain

 the brain cannot distinguish “virtual reality from real time” … 

the brain is interrupting what is being input into it as “real” … a “pattern of neurons are formed” and the brain is slowly rewired to see “violence” as a game or even fun …

 This constant input of violence via video games is changing the thinking and reactive brain, it is normalizing asocial behavior… hopefully for most the rational brain and the frontal lobes can stop this process …

Virtual reality is used to train athletics / airline pilots/ the military / brain damaged individuals….   why just about everywhere it is used and has been proved to be just as successful as or more so than actual real time training …

So these violent video games “are not just fun” for the ones who play them … these games are changing their brain and releasing endorphins … making “death and violence pleasurable” … is it then a leap to take such behavior into the “real world” and harm society … no it is not …

Yet most modern day families allow their very young children to play these violent video games for hours’ everyday … it is prevalent in adults as well …

..... why just last week I learned of a Catholic priest who spends his “off time” playing video games … hmmm you would think a priest would spend his “off time in prayer” and try to wire his brain for grace …    

They weaponized the Eucharist

I hear many Catholics saying … so and so should not be allowed the Eucharist, they do not believe in the teachings of the church, or they do not agree with their politics …    meanwhile a pedophile priest, or a bishop that covered up such deeds just consecrated the Host … how to do you think that is sitting with God? 

Below is a photo of Michele Obama (many fundamentalist Catholics dislike her, yet these same Catholics will say “the church abuses are not so bad, it is just Satan attacking the church)…. No it is evil priests attacking / raping children, women, and seminarians, and the hierarchy covering up such deeds that is evil …

  

I am posting, the photo below to thank Michele Obama, for she was very kind to my granddaughter who is standing in front of her … Mrs. Obama knelt down to give my granddaughter a hug and a warm greeting, something my granddaughter will never forget … nor will I …. That is a kind heart of which,  we are all called to have …

And the Eucharist is not a dog treat given for good behavior or for those who think like us … the Eucharist is the True Presence of Jesus Christ and when you step between Christ and soul he seeks to save … good luck on that one when you meet Him face to face one day!   

How are you representing the household you came from

When my eldest daughter was in the Oval Office of the White House meeting President George W. Bush of the United States (which she did many years ago)  or in a foreign embassy speaking to leaders of other Nations, she is on some level  a representation of the “household she came out of”, the person who “raised her”, which is me ... 

When my children were growing up I was a strict parent on many levels .. I also insisted on such things as table manners, how to properly greet someone, always remember your please and thank you... I actually sent my daughters to a course in a "finishing school" on how to stand, sit and walk properly if you were in a reception line (proper manners a must for me) ... also they were taught what forks , knives, spoons and glasses to use when eating at formal dinners ... I wanted my daughters to be well educated, well mannered and "polished"... and I remember telling them "I do not want you to embarrass me one day,  when you are sitting with the President of the United States or with a foreign leader"... I did not know back then those words would turn out be a prophecy,  for indeed that is just what they did in life ... 

We  all on some level representing the household we come out of  ... be it a good or bad home life (I marvel at those who come from a negative background and become successful) ... we are product of nature and nurture ... but some just have such inner grit to make it ... I salute you ...  

But let me speak to our "common household" from which we all stem, as children of God ...

You know you are "representing our Dad in heaven", everyday of your life ... so get out there in life and make daddy God proud of you ... if you need extra help just ask him , he will send a few of his angels to assist you ... he even sent his only begotten son to do the same ...   

My daughter shaking the hand of President George W Bush in the oval office.  This daughter was also the youngest female member of the National Security Council, under Condoleezza Rice and my daughter was also a fellow with the prestigious Brookings Institute, the think tank in Washington, DC… Thus dispelling the common notion and stigmata placed on many single parent households that you are doing your child a disservice raising them as such. It is your value system and who you are as a parent (single or married) that produces successful adult children …  

  

Is society heading towards The Hunger Games?

The book series (The Hunger Games was a gigantic success) yet disturbing  … you do not have to read the book series we are living them, just walk out your door or watch the news or open a twitter or Facebook account … behold the hunger games … people devouring, the sorrows of others

Being in a “tragic attack” has become twisted fame as well … 

 They become, for the public the “children in The Hungry Games”  … socially acceptable … people being thrown into the lion’s den, by fate … as the general public watches and comments on their electronic devices and through media …

I admit, I have and had “dark personal hours” in life … but never did the pain of another help me feel better about self … it made me think … “they need help MJ… you know how it feels to be in pain and in need, they need help, try to help them” …

Are we that broken  … that we must live off others pain and suffering … and once we suck them dry, move onto another …???

Good Gravy … spirituality is hard … not for the faint of heart

 to really get into self is a hard, scary death defying act of courage  … to take away the pretend mirror, which you always looked at yourself through and look at the reality of you  …

I am so fascinated with the science of the brain, the process and origin of thought  … the spirituality of humanity … I now know with out a doubt I can never even get close to knowing those answers without really knowing self and how those questions can be answered in my own life …

Me the “alleged mystic” … bull shit … this is a title given by those who have no freak’n clue as to what it means to be human, so how can they know what it is to be spiritual … they cannot see the seen, how can they see the unseen …

What I am is a person with a very curious mind … blunt in nature …emotionally damaged in many ways  … I am fast witted and can out talk most and out think many (not bragging just stating fact) all those traits given to me by God  … Yet I am a person so emotionally damaged at a young age my brain never allowed itself to care about formal education, it was to busy processing the environment to keep me safe …

 many priests could not deal with me … I figuratively ate them alive emotionally and theologically …  … having a broad knowledge of things (again by grace)   I took delight in verbally and psychologically slam dunking a few priests along the way, those who I knew where abusive to others or corrupt … I might still do such things to a priest who abused a child  … I  think of them as snakes and demons and as such they are fair game to be verbally or emotionally slain  …after all they had a blatant disregard for their victims ... and what I do to them here on earth is nothing what will be done to them,  by God ... 

so maybe on some level my ripping into them is a mercy ... as if to say ... as bad as she is ... she is nothing compared to what you will be given to you before the throne of God ... so fess up and sin no more (not just in a confessional but to the public)  you wicked hierarchy... compensate your victims ... sell everything  you have and give to the poor,  which at this point is all of us ... for you made a mockery of our faith!  

Spirituality is not becoming a doormat to others and it is not to remain silent while others suffer and are hurt  ... spirituality is the direct opposite ... you defend the poor, the injured, the abused and you call out the abusers ... Hey Jesus did ...

Dark humor in literature and James Joyce style

Dark humor, in literature, drama, and film, grotesque or morbid humor is used to express the absurdity, insensitivity, paradox, and cruelty of the modern world…

My goal for all my Blogs and my eBooks is to make you think, first about God and who really represents Him on this planet (the answer is you)   and how you can connect to a “higher self” and have peace in your heart for only through the individual’s inner peace will peace come to this planet… Peace is not a negotiated human deal … true peace is only spread by you doing so from your heart … 

The power to save the planet is located within … connect to God from within .. Pray... Fast … get “right with God”… ask Him to send you peace. Then spread that peace to others …

Years ago my word smith said “I write like James Joyce”… I flip from one writing style to another and I have a total disregard for the “rules of grammar and style” he is right I do …I flip back and forth from the serious to the absurd (like life does to us all) … I am at times the small child … who stands there and says “you are not the Boss of me!”   … I truly believe that in life… we were created in freedom and love by a God is not a fan of rules himself … and of a God who is the King of paradox … He showed us this by sending His own Son to this planet to teach us and save us …

I also think “truth matters” so I am truthful in my writings about my own flaws and failures …

Last week I had my writings/ memes/ and audio tapes viewed and evaluated by a Professor in a local college... He laughed and said … WOW you are “YouTube ready”  this Professor went on to say  he did not think such style and wit could come from someone over the age of 35 and my capacity to be transparent and forthright was impressive and current  … hmmm I think on some level that might have been a “micro-aggression”…

This school has an impressive telecommunication center and I was invited to come there and use their facilities any time and they would teach me how to produce online videos … “film” and film editing and eCommerce... 

To hit a larger market. If I do this I will be putting my Blogs on “sleep mode” in September … The youth is our future and they have so much grace and talent, I love being around them … To be able to sit, listen and learn from them,  where they are “at” in their thinking .. this will help me in character and grace as well …

Freaky Friday post

Bernie Sanders said last week if he was elected President he would release all the files the US government has on UFOs

Clinton  said he would do the same thing and he didn't ... George Bush said he would and did not and Trump said he would and did  not .... they never do ... 

But I will !!! ... yes I will release all those secret files on the hierarchy and the Church (when I find them that is) ... for now I will just post here on my Blog ... 

But hey did you see on Facebook ...

Jul 12, 2019 · A mysterious Facebook event, called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” and over 475,000 alien-hunters have already sent in their RSVP for the Friday, September 20 flash mob. Area 51, of course, is the site of many alien conspiracy theories, and residents around Rachel, Nevada have reported strange goings-on in the skies.

Yeah ... storm area 51 and get a butt full of bullets !!! The military said they will defend the property ... by any means and they have scary weapons 

But I have an idea let's Storm the Vatican secret archives ... Below are the guys who defend the Vatican ... I think we can take them! 
We can just throw a bucket of water at them and they will rust in their armor ... or perhaps we can just invite them to a costume party or a local club ... I hear there are a lot of gay clubs/ bars around the Vatican ...  

 You know there is supposed to be some weird stuff stored in those Vatican archives ... from ancient Scriptures to time machines ... But I did manage to snare a "leaked photo" from these archives ... I purchased it on eBay think it is real??? 😉

There is an App for that

I downloaded an App on my iPhone… it counts my steps and the miles I walk everyday... then it generates a bar graph for each day of the month.  I preset the App to amount of steps I want to walk everyday …

 I try to walk between 4,000 and 10,000 steps per day (2 to 5 miles a day) … If I am lazy and do not walk my preset amount of steps on any given day, my bar graph will flash red …ugh I feel like such a loser on those days …

 I am in competition with myself … I try to beat myself everyday as to how far I walked… So it is me versus me …

This is how your spirituality should be … do not pit yourself against someone else’s spirituality, thinking you might be better or you might be worse… it does not matter leave them alone… 

worry about how far you are walking in God’s grace everyday not your neighbor … download a prayer App in your mind and remember to pray every day …try to pray longer and longer everyday …

 here is a trick I use I walk and pray!       

It is time to collect your nuts

Wow I just realized the title of this post can go several ways … well the nuts to which I am referring to now … are the type Squirrels are collecting this time of year …

I squirrel watch as they run around the yard collecting acorns and such to store for the winter months… it seems each squirrel has their own technique as to how to store their “nuts” …

I have to say some do not seem to be too bright … some will dig a hole in the ground and bury a nut there … now I know when the heavy snow hits that little dude is not going to be able to get to that nut !!!  …

 I want to scream out the window … DUDE poor choice of nut storing … make a nest off the ground and store it there... Or find a hallow tree and place those nuts inside it dude …

OK … now I think of Scripture and where and how to store your treasures … “your nuts of grace that is” …

 Now is the time for you to be storing up graces... grab a nut called “compassion”… pick up 

another one called “charity”… 

and wow the biggest nut of all… pick up Love … Love of God… Love of self and Love of neighbor … you can make it through the coldest/ snowiest winter if you do this  

 

Sweet it's Sunday

As a kid Sunday meant a trip to the bakery for a donut, if I went to Sunday school and did not complain about it  (bribery always works on a kid, especially if it is laced with sugar)    ... no wonder I think of The Trinity as donuts ...    

on this Sunday ... I think of the "order of the Mass" and the Eucharist

The laity are not being taught (the real and true Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist)  this  has not been taught for generations ... yes "lip service" is given,  by priests  to the real Presence  of Jesus Christ... but that is all ... I guess I am becoming more and more determined to speak of this for the miracle I was given via the True Presence in 1992  ... the one my local Bishop now dead  could  not be bothered with for he was to busy covering  up sexual abuses by his priests in the diocese...

I am also becoming more and more annoyed at some priests who during consecration, start to tell "folksy tales" about their lives ... not the time Father zip it and respect the God/man coming to Altar so the laity may see your respect ... lead by example Father ... not your rattling on about days gone by the Mass is not a showcase for your life but to bring people to Jesus Christ and his true presence  ... 

 and the grand result of the hierarchy and such priests "not teaching the True Presence by their own example and the order of the mass itself is this ...  

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/



The Order of the Mass …

What the heck ??? … you receive communion and in 5 minutes or less you are told to stand for the final blessing (the Pastor rattles on with his announcements) … all while the Son of the Living God is truly present within in you … the hierarchy does not believe in the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist or the order of Mass would not be as it is now …

 I do not need your final blessing (I have Jesus Christ inside of me and I do not need to hear your announcements,  I am talking to God and giving him thanks for allowing me to receive him in the Eucharist) ... 

Pope Leo XIII

Wow you sir did not believe in the True Presence either … if you wrote the St. Michael’s prayer to be said in Church after the laity received Communion … asking a “Creature” although high in grace to banish evil in the Church … when the Son of the living God is present in the Tabernacle and the faithful who just received Him in the Eucharist … 

How about this prayer Pope Leo XIII

By the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and in the Tabernacle, we ask you to extend your Holy Hand and banish all evils from the inside the Church and protect us by your Omnipotence

    

 

You are nobody unless you are on the “Spectrum”

 I am on “The Spectrum” more about that in a second …

In our times   … “The Spectrum” everyone is on it … “Therapy/ emotional support animals” everyone has them or needs them … step right up and name your phobia  … yep everyone has one …. You OCD folks take a number… how about you ADD peeps take a pill  ...

society tends to be trendy with things in life.. I remember a few years ago everyone suddenly became ""Gluten intolerant" and then a whole cottage industry sprung up around this (with everything gluten free) ... of course the price of these items are high (a normal loaf of bread being about $2 and a gluten free loaf being about $5 ) and if you suddenly had "gluten intolerance" you also needed to have money ... so once again the poor are kept out of this "healthy loop" the way they are kept out of the "Organic food market"... by the cost of these items ...

And the USA is one of only two nations in the world that allows the advertising of drugs ... I hear many people say they saw an advertisement for a drug and they know they have the "disease" and they will push their MD to Rx them a script for the medications ... Or a Doctor will have a sweet deal with a drug company and push a certain drug .. and let me not even get into the "Pharmaceutical reps", who pimp drugs to MD's in their offices ... or "big pharma" in this nation and how they overcharge everyone with the cost of drugs... claiming cost to develop, which many times is done via government grants  and the salaries of these CEO's in big pharma ... push the drugs to keep up their lifestyles ...    
 
(Australia the only other Country that advertises drugs to the public )

So here is my list

 I am a high functioning Mystic on the “Mystic Spectrum”

I am OCD in my prayer life

And I am ADD with my Blogging about Jesus         

 

I am “challenged in spelling”

And have grammar phobia

And a word usage handicap

 

I believe

I have grandsons and when they were small we would go “monster hunting”… 

first we would tell each other creepy stories to try and spook each other out … then our journey would begin … we would take a walk in the woods to find evidence of “Monsters”... I gave the boys magnifying glasses to really do a CSI type of investigation so they could really look for clues in the woods and we would listen for “sounds” that we thought might be the call of a monster …

 Now my personal favorite “monster” is Bigfoot... wow I love Bigfoot... everyone in my family knows how much I love Bigfoot … 

I even had a decal on my car that said “official Bigfoot researcher” …

So my grandsons would always say to me “grandma I hope we find Bigfoot today, we know how much you like him”…

Now I think of Jesus … say what now… Jesus and Bigfoot in the same story??? …

Yep … because there are many in the world who think of Jesus as being a “mythical creature”… like Bigfoot or maybe even that He is a monster for you have been hurt in life and you blame God …

Well in addition to being a “Bigfoot investigator I am also a Jesus investigator” … 

I tracked Him for years in the woods … in Cities … far away and near … man that guy can move faster than light!

Then one day I saw Him … WOW … It was an amazing sight… I saw Him in the breaking of the Bread!!!!

Then OMG … I heard Him … in my heart …here is what He said … “I love you, I love all of you”…   

Now as much as like Bigfoot … I totally love Jesus more and I know where he lives … in the Tabernacle and he is not a Monster… 

He is a really good man and an awesome God … and you know what … If you have a few personal evil monsters in your life... Jesus can totally get rid of them …

 So I hope "you find Jesus Today"...now that I told you where he is located 

 I will keep you "posted"  if I ever find Bigfoot 

Above is a photo of "Harry" from one of my fav movies "Harry and the Henderson's"

Walking your loved one home so they can dance with the Lord

I am attempting to change the term “death bed” into “miracle bed”… loss into hope and love into eternal love… The universe and the maker of said is not into “pump and dump” … once made you live forever… death being an entrance into change not extinction…  

Hospice should not be looked upon as a prep for death, but a boarding pass to eternity …

There is a old saying (an Irish one)  … cry at the birth of a child and dance at their funeral … meaning when a child is born they are faced with a lifetime of trials, ups and downs that life brings… yet the child is free upon their death … their “inner child/ soul that is” and that soul is in heaven dancing with God for all eternity …   

Jesus is a great dancer ... I have taken a spin on the dance floor with Him myself ... 

the Feast of the Transfiguration is today … my hero the shiny like the Sun; Son of the Living God …

I should probably wear my shades today at Mass … Jesus is coming to the Altar today bright as the Sun, robes whiter than bleach  … hey maybe He will bring Moses and Elijah with him …

Bet you did not know Moses was tech savvy 

And that God gave Elijah the coolest horse and buggy ride ever!!!! 

The Bread of Life

In life we will be given lemons at times, with grace we can make lemonade…

 The “Bread of Life” is the perfect recipe to get you through all trials.

 A theologian might say these were Crosses to test me … maybe … or maybe it was just life presenting itself and affording me the opportunity to grow as a person and become merciful and kinder to others that suffer …

On a spiritual level there are dark forces that seem to be working overtime in our society... these dark forces have always been at play in the world... yet now it seems they are extreme ...

I have been attacked many times on a physical level in life and on a spiritual level and to be frank I do not know how I survived most of these things... if there was not a True God watching over me and over us all ... 

My aim is to instill hope in you as I struggle to maintain it myself as I watch the world grow darker ... 

Love you Abba … Happy Feast Day …

 The catholic liturgical calendar says today (August 4, 2019) is the 18^th Sunday in ordinary time … bite me there is no “ordinary time” we live in extraordinary time for we live in the time of salvation … But today is extra special it is “daddy’s feast day”… the church has a love / hate relationship with mystics (especially if they are women) … they had the same love/ hate going on with the Mystic below

 a Mystic named Luisa Piccarreta .. I have no problem with her I think she is cool … and filled with the Holy Spirit and special and unique to God... Does she have the only way to God … NO … she is a bit to classic/ old fashioned for me, I tend to be a bit more rowdy …

But I like her message … and her love of Jesus in the Eucharist …

And in her writings she asked for the first Sunday in August to be the feast day of God the Father … and I am totally on board for that!!! 

I Love Abba … so I am sending you hugs and kisses today daddy God … miss you …
 can’t wait to come home!   

There is a group in Kinnelon NJ that meets weekly they study the messages of Divine Will.... As I have said ... Luisa's messages are a bit "fussy" for me ... I think spirituality is a lot simpler  and done in the everyday moments of life...   

Ugh ... but here we go... I am going to have to say this and it will sound a bit snitty...The Church initially did not like Luisa, then she became a rock star for them... she actually wrote 36 Books on her experiences in spirituality ... so my Blogs and eBooks, my own diaries look like small potatoes compared to Luisa and she did not have a computer! Whoa that is a lot of pencil and paper ... plus now there are multiple DVD videos about her tons of audio tapes ... well the Church did not like her  and thought her writings had difficulties of a theological nature (love that woman she mind fracked the theologians) 

 and guess what the Church claimed ownership of all her diaries and writings to "clarify" theological points (in essence they edited her writings to suit their agenda and I guess in doing so they edited Jesus as well )  ...  the Church now gets all the royalties off of every book written by Luisa, every DVD and audio tape made (the Church owns the copyrights on them all)  ... now the Church totally likes Luisa she is even a servant of God  and they are considering making her a Saint ... more $ for them those books sales will go through the roof! Then they can even make a medal in her honor and sell them ... of course the edited version  of her writings  

Again I do like Luisa and her spirituality is like most who have a deep spiritual life ... God does not show favorites ... poor woman I hope she did not have family ... those kids are out of the Will ... since Luisa's "work product was stolen by the Church"  ... hey isn't that theft of intellectual property ... no theft of spirituality property ... 

Hey that is why I copyright everything ... mess with my intellectual property and we go to Court ...both Civil and Divine Court ... And I know a really good Jewish Lawyer "Jesus Christ"  ... man that lawyer wins every battle in Court and his opponents are devils they will steal your soul if you let them!  

     

We are human and spiritual beings

I think as a member of the laity we should be sharing our spirituality     

But also thoughts on what it is to be “human” and the trials that come along in life … God is in everything and cares about every aspect of your life … 

No test … No Testimony …

… I have had many trials and tests in my life (over the last 50 plus years) … I know we can all say that … but I would get really pissed off at God … with “what the heck, where were you!”… 

Didn’t you see what just happened to me … why … didn’t…you… stop it!!! …why …

 Didn’t you know how that would destroy me and I would suffer the rest of my life with it … how cruel are you …!!! 

 Basically that was my mantra with God … for many … many years … I went through severe emotional and physical pain in my life … lucky I was able to seek treatment for most … yet the earthy treatments did not really heal me .. God did in the person of his Son Jesus Christ…

Corny you may be thinking … but true … and now I know why I went through so much in life … it was so I can share with you …no matter how deep the hurt … how painful …

 God heals … go to him …

God helped me through it all and He can and will do the same for you… just ask for his help … and also seek “human help”… both are needed

Through these “tests”  … God gave me a softer heart for those who suffer … I know your pain .. I lived there many times … but I was able to move away from this pain with God’s grace and you can too … hopefully I help you with knowing, you are not alone …            

Just keep’n it groovy

Hey I like the “peace sign” just not during Mass … 

                      dude pay attention to Jesus Christ on the Altar

dumb ass Franciscan

I attend Mass in many different churches as a “roaming Catholic” … yesterday Friday August 2, 2019  I attended Mass an early Mass in Butler NJ in a Franciscan Church  … First Friday no matter whose feast day it might be they are subordinate to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on a first Friday to me …

So it was interesting  the church in Butler was celebrating the feast day of Our Lady of the Holy Angels (and doing so as a high Mass)  … now as much as I love the Virgin Mary she is still subordinate to her Son in truth and in my First Friday devotions to the Sacred Heart …

I learned this was a special day for the Franciscans because of this … August 2nd – Feast of Our Lady of the Angels (aka the Feast of the Portiuncula). The small chapel of St. Mary of the Angels (Our Lady of the Angels) was very dear to St. Francis of Assisi. He referred to it as the Portiucula (or the Little Portion) and it is considered the cradle of the Franciscan Order.

OK I get that … the dude is a Franciscan and he is proud of his roots …

What I did not get was the Franciscan’s homily … it actually made me what to slap him on top the head to get some truth into his brain …or maybe his heart (it amazes me how there are so many men labeled priests who do not believe in or teach the "true Presence" ... why are they priests? Maybe they should have went into social work or become a philosophy Professor..but if you do not believe or cannot teach the True Presence, they you do great harm  to the faithful and mission of the Church,  which is supernatural in its roots...a God/man who saves not your human effort ... if that were the case there would have been no need for Christ to appear in human history) 

 this Franciscan whose name I do not know (it was not the Pastor or the associate for I have seen them before … this Franciscan was a new face to me) …

The Franciscan priest said … the only time he felt really “in the presence of holy” was when he said a Mass at St. Frances digs “Portiucula”… OMG this priest said this right in front of the Tabernacle … Sweet Baby Jesus… this priest is standing in front of the Tabernacle telling everyone at Mass that the only place he found holy was at Portiucula    ... What the frock send that dude back to theology 101… the Eucharist (Jesus Christ’s True Presence) is the center of our faith and there is no one more “Holy” that HE …

Then to make it worse … this Franciscan priest asked during his homily … so where do you find your holy … in an arm chair , walking … Shoot me now!!! … You dumb ass Franciscan … you are about to consecrate the Host on the Altar and you are asking the people “where do you find holy in an arm chair”…!!!???

Now I am livid at this Franciscan priest and I am trying not to judge … so I watch him consecrate the Host and his lack of awareness and respect for what was occurring on the Altar (bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ)  … was so apparent that tears actually came to my eyes … and I was saying “sorry Jesus this man has no clue what just happened on the Altar and he is leading these people astray  by not telling them …

Holy is in the Tabernacle … 

Holy is on the Altar at the time of consecration,

Holy is in you when you receive the Eucharist …  WOW ... save us Lord from all 

priests such as this Franciscan and bring all souls back to the truth of your True Presence in the Eucharist ...
