…And for we humans to live forever?!
Habemus Papem, a little Latino Lingua for ya all. The cardinals just elected Pope Francis’ replacement to the chair of St Peter. Leo XIII + I, Leo the14th, came to be on a Virgin Mary anniversary (the 8th of each month) date, May 8, 2025. His skills include mathematics and Peruvian missionary work, a man of hope this Jubilee year and peace, first quoting the Lord:
“Peace be with you” in one of his many known languages.
. Cardinal Robert Francis hails from Soxville, Chicago, where my Polish mom Irene married my German dad Paul before pioneering to California in 1951, in fact I was conceived in Chicago and born in Pasadena/Duarte CA.
. A smart man of logic, I wonder how Pope Leo XiV feels about the Father’s use of math and symbols in His messages to us humans. Plus, will he continue the progress to the Eucharistic Renaissance (what else explains the explosion of new and renewed Catholics this year) and devotion to the sacred heart? Subjects for another piece: we will title it
“Leo XiV, the Renewing Pope of the Eucharistic Renaissance and Devotion to the Twin Sacred Hearts”
Another day: but let’s see how intricate God is in His seasons, dates, days, symbols and times. The relevance to conversations surrounding Cardinal Robert Francis’ siblings will be apparent.
Passover 2025: “Passover 2025 began on Saturday evening, April 12, 2025, the 14th of Nisan, 5785. The Seder night took place on Saturday evening, immediately followed by the first day of Passover. The holiday lasted seven days in Israel (eight days abroad) & will end on Friday evening, April 18, 2025″ ~Chabad. com
So close but still a day away from convergence with the first Neo-Passover…explained later
The headline above sounds like an odd lead-in title? Yet, numbers are so integral to salvation history and the Father’s plans for His Son and OUR sons…and daughters. IF it is true, the next time, in the Gregorian world, that Good Friday falls on a Friday the 13th is April 13, 2063. But…
Suppose we look at what the OT and NTestament say on this matter.
In the introduction to Exodus, from the Greek word for “departure: “… its central event was understood by the Septuagint’s translators to be the departure of
the Israelites from Egypt. Its Hebrew title, Shemoth (“Names”), is from the book’s opening phrase, “These are the names….” Continuing the history of Israel from the point where the Book of Genesis leaves off, Exodus recounts the Egyptian oppression of Jacob’s ever-increasing descendants (no issues of abortion nor contraceptives Latin for ‘against conceiving babies’ at that time)and their miraculous deliverance by God through Moses, who led them across the Red Sea to Mount Sinai where they entered into a covenant with the Lord.”
Departure happened many times. Don’t be deceived into thinking Egypt was 100% against/hatred for the Jews…otherwise Gabriel would have told Joseph to head to Italy or somewhere else.
Pictured here is the Holy Family, told to depart AT NIGHT as in IMMEDIATELY; the most expedia route is to travel 270 miles along a pre-determined angle/line that emanates from a giant monument near Cairo, Egypt.
The Holy Family probably passed through the two Solomonic pillars marking the Red/Reed Sea exodus
miracle (one is still standing today; the other became a Saudi Arabian flag). Destination would be the Jewish settlement that dated back to Alexander the Great. Actually, a line permanently cast in stone and God’s design.
Egypt? Egypt perennially plays a part in human and divine history. It was in the shadow of the Giza
plateau in Cairo, and appropriately, Joseph took his beloved wife and GodChild past the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Father’s depository of directions to His Eucharistic Son’s birth place, the Eternal Ultimate Gift of the Father. Now that’s a mouth and mindful! The math: 26 degrees, 18 minutes& 9.63 seconds is the Christ angle, mentioned over centuries and a focus today, mostly outside the Catholic Church’s smart guys and ladies. But we are catching up!
Notice in the Giza graphic the descending passage from the entrance 17 steps up goes below the ground level; it measures the 26+degree angularity mentioned and first saw light hit the bottom 344 feet away by the North Star in 2141BC, “backing off” to the Giza face at 2623 Bc. Much of this work has been hampered by the 1303ad earthquake which made the casing cover stones easily stolen for minarets and mosques nearby. Giza is the most accurate compass, off only 3 seconds out of (60 minutes x 60 seconds x 360 degrees=1,296.000 total seconds). Incredibly small error which facilitates extrapolating the Christ angle, when laid down facing north east and running 270 miles straight through Bethlehem, a city that David and most of us have heard of. Giza, the worlds largest monument and compass even a time machine, sits AT THE EXACT CENTER OF THE WORLD LIKE A SILENT SENTINEL TO COMING AND CURRENT EVENTS.
It wasn’t just the star & constellations in the heavens that led wise men and camels to find the King of King and Son of the Eternal One; the Father left ZERO to chance, even for our shortened lives’ generation. Today, we don’t average 800 year lifespans; closer to 80 and in a good year, the couple survives into a 2nd century.
Chapter 12 regarding the Passover events: “The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: 2* This month will stand at the head of your calendar; you will reckon it the first month of the year.” That month is Abib/Nisan.
God created HIS calendar for the Chosen. This month, we recognize and remember this incredible gift to God’s chosen, in which God’s angel of death “passed over” the first born Israel boys that led to their departure; in the Jewish lunar calendar, we know the month as Abib or Nisan (not the car); further on:
“Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every family must procure for itself a lamb…”
So Abib 10, the families would buy “…Your lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats.
Chapter 16: “Observe the month of Abib* by keeping the Passover of the LORD, your God, since it was in the month of Abib that the LORD, your God, brought you out of Egypt by night.”The Center of the Universe, His Son, pointed to at the Center of the World who is the Center of History. His Story IS History.
Back again to Friday the 13th, look how specific God is about His reminders to the Hebrews AND to us:
“…only at the place which the LORD, your God, will choose as the dwelling place of His Name, and in the evening at sunset, at the very time when you left Egypt, shall you sacrifice the Passover.Today, though it is a movable feast reserved for a Sunday, Easter comes after Friday’s tragedy wanes. We humans need reminding.
Easter would have been great that 1st Easter Sunrise. Even that was cancelled in Covid hellish days. Will Mother’s Day have open Church day?~Covid evil (note this was first written during the Pfaucinstein Pfiasco)
“After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body.
39Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds.x
40They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
42So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.”
In the Introduction:
“The Book of Joshua presents a narrative of the way Israel took possession of the land of Canaan, making it the land of Israel. This process is swift and inexorable, and is followed by an orderly division and disposition of the land among the twelve tribes, with a concluding ceremony of covenant renewal.
The theological message of the book is unmistakable. God has been faithful to the promise of the land. Promises made; promises kept.
If Israel relies totally on the Lord for victory; if Israel is united as a people; if the law of herem is kept and no one grows rich from victory in war—then and only then will Israel possess the land.
The Israelites are led by Joshua, the successor of Moses, and the book is at pains to show not only how Joshua carries on the work of Moses but how the “conquest” of Canaan is continuous with the exodus from Egypt…”
“Look at God’s timing; there’s that Abib 14th again. The disobedient warrior class died in the desert; the newly circumsized Israel under Joshua, no longer would receive the daily temporary bread from heaven. Manna ceased.” Of course, you see that as a prefigurement of the Bread of Life born at the House of Bread (of Life) at Bethlehem 26 degrees 18minutes 9.63seconds to the north east as ordained in the Giza monument
Notice that the bread from heaven that evaporated when not consumed, daily, was replaced in the NEW Covenant by the Bread of Heaven that dissolves and becomes a part of our bodies; Jesus replaced Manna and is available at Mass daily. Most everywhere in the world. You don’t need a National Eucharistic Congress, as good as it is, when we are free to begin our days with daily Eucharist at the Mass.
“On the day after the Passover they ate of the produce of the land in the form of unleavened cakes and parched grain. On that same day 12after they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.”
QED Jesus, the Ultimate Gift, died one Abib 13 or Friday the 13th just before the Passover of Moses, Joshua and even today was celebrated that year. The two day offset is undeniable but important. To this day, Passover and Holy Thursday/Good Friday do not coincide each year
Surely, IT was a solemn day. In case you need a trivia question, what is the next day that Good Friday is April 13th? 2063. A friend of mine, Mickie whom I worked with at McDonald’s 50 years ago, just celebrated her 70th. She will never see a Good Friday the April 13th again, at this writing 38 years away.
I will have to look it up on Chabad to see what Abib 13th coincides with the Friday of Fridays: Good Friday
Of course, can’t forget Pope Gregory 13th’s calendar. Fr Rocky does a fine job in discussing the 4-5 day error of the seasonal corners: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice.
Fr. Rocky’s take on the calendar shift:
“God bless you Len! The reason that 3/25 is not the first day of spring is the same reason that Christmas is not on the 20th of December. By the time the Christians established the Liturgical Calendar, the Julian Calendar was off by five sidereal days, because the Julian Calendar – named after Julius Caesar, but invented in Alexandria three centuries previously, was off by eleven minutes a day, an imprecision corrected by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, by omitting leap years in century years not divisible by 400. It took the Protestant countries another two centuries to catch up. Fascinating.” Well put, Fr Rocky
Now I have to ask Scott Hahn and Curtis to add this little fact about Friday the 13th being a pivotal day before the next printing of the Ignatius super bible; easy add to the commentary.
But 13 has other purposes: not just for the Crucifixion but for Mary’s Appearances at Fatima (6 times on a
13th) and you can’t miss, as Shroud Center director, retired judge Dave Belz put it: the herringbone 3 in 1(eerily like the Trinity and manipulations of Lucky for us 13). I believe God uses the number 13 to point us to the hard to understand composition of God having three distinct persons.
Trying to keep this short, the Crucifixion happened on two different dates on the Julian, Gregorian and Hebrew. We now know Abib 13th on the Chabad Hebrew lunar calendar from Exodus, Joshua, Deuteronomy and John’s Gospel
March 25th, was the Annunciation and 33 years later, the day Jesus died on the Spring Equinox (with the 5 day correction); also, the date St Bernadette, though undereducated, spoke a new Papal Doctrine in French (I am the Immaculate Conception) on March 25,`1858. Talk about God’s precision in weaving His Story. It should be noted for the Relevant Radio crowd, Mary appeared to Adele in 1859 at Our Lady of Good Health now OL d’ Champion in Green Bay, the ONLY recognized Marian apparition in these united states
All you LOTR, Lord of the Ring advocates, recall the Mordor ring was destroyed on March 25th the day Jesus was “born to die”. Once on earth inside the mom, you are fully human by the time mom knows you are there.
AT Conception not AT the moment planned parenthood kills you.
Corrections welcome: Jesus, I trust in you!
Finally, another mathematician is the headmaster at GKChesterton Academy of Dayton, Ohio: Nathan, who wife his beautiful wife, Jen are raising four five adopted foster kids that God can renew anything.
He graduated from TAC (Thomas Aquinas College) in 2011, was recruited to Dominion college to get his Masters in Mathematics and now teaches other young minds. What does the future hold for Pope Leo XiV?
Only time will tell. Thank you for reading, Mark! and others who yearn for the Truth
