TY Trump! Lauren Handy and St Joan can come home as the planets align this Jubilee year

updated: Jan 26  Jan 27    Jan 28 The Feast of St Thomas Aquinas

More great breaking news!  California AG office finally gave up persecuting an innocent investigative reporter since private citizenImage Kamala was attorney general and invaded his small SoCal apartment a dozen years ago.  It’s funny who the self absorbed media reward themselves with Pulitzers, much like Hollyweird gives out gold statues and globes to their own.

Congrats David and Sandra.  Keep up the great work…maybe the East Coast Pulitzer will make its way to the west coast work of Center of Medical Progress next year.

You already have your first one from Donna.

Attached>>>is the summary put out by David Daleiden…prolife work is serious business because lives are ALWAYS involved but more important, it is ok to celebrate when a celebration is called for.  It IS a great day to be alive, friends…so pray “Lord, use me as You, not I, will”.     Because He will!

 

Lauren smiles while working in Albuquerque petitioning the local Holocaust Museum to add the current pogrom of death and other local New Mexico pro life needs.  Yes, I gave her the rose but God designed and created it…and her!

Breaking news: No more federal tax dollars for the baby killing king pins at Sanger’s planned parenthood.  For the next 4, probably the next 8.  Years, not days.  This executive order just in, reversing in one Sharpie stroke the deadly work of Cecile Richards.  A distraught  Ann Richards on a 5150 or 3 day hold?  It IS ok to pray for Ms Richards who died on inauguration day because hell really sucks for an eternity.  Even and especially for the godless.

Look at her face: Lauren, the youngest of the pardoned 23 also had the longest 57 month Stalinesque prison sentence.  In the picture, Lauren’s shirt features her famous red tape “Life” and Survivors moniker. The old guy on the left is wearing a Heroes themed shirt from one of his last retreats as a staff Youth Director at Holy Family Cathedral; he has a reputation for using roses as both gifts and tools.

 

Today she’s married to the love of her life. Faustina a few years ago…

What an amazing time since Inauguration Day/ Week 2025!   One of the most important early actions by Mr. Trump among his 200 EOs, specifically sparing via pardon 1500 Epiphany (J6 commonly called) day 2021 Americans and most acutely probably saving at least one or two lives (Mrs Joan Bell) when his wide black Sharpie set free 23 pro-life prisoners of the ObamaNation& Biden admin. 23 incarcerated innocents of the greater Laws of God on January 23, 2025

Chances are very real that Joan Bell AND an 89 year old would have been two more Biden /Kamala’s post election deaths while still locked away in the DC Dungeon if she won.  What an evil administration.

Now, freedom is ringing more clearer, more true in the ProLife community AND across America!

Congrats to Thomas More, Life Legal Defense and other dedicated prolife attorneys and for the REAL Jubilee year experience of freeing the captives. St Joan and Lauren WERE captives, no different than a criminal during the Obamanation years of the DoInjustice in the eyes of the godless Democrat leadership.   Another blatant example was the outrageous treatment of that multi kid dad Mr Houck for praying  and others listed below.

David’s first, but well deserved, Pulitzer prize from above. Maybe, the Columbia Journalism school will catch up. TY Troy Newman as well for your vision. 

These modern true civil rights advocates, not battling over color or well deserved recognition of being equal  humans, but for the lives of mothers and babies, are ALL heroes! Let me start with the one who had the longest FACES Act induced sentence.PL hero Lauren’s incredibly horrible crime?  Giving roses to women desperate for true love because their men most often failed the test of time, commitment and protecting the woman in their lives.

Lauren Handy is one of the kindest woman I know in my seven decades on this 3rd rock from the sun; she is always thinking of others, especially the pre-birth kids who are at-risk inside women in crisis, her fellow inmates and others. When I first met her, as part of a team of great and serious anti-abortion workers I also call heroes, she was discerning and on her way to fulfilling her desire for a deeper love of her God, the Eucharistic Son of the Father.

We all have individual journeys, sojourners on the way to a permanent forever home.  Jesus was/is Lauren’s goal, much like Colonel Mike Hopkins carrying the Eucharistic Lord (for weekly Holy Communion) above his heart into space as part of ISS Dragon-1.  He said at the NEC June 2024 these words of wisdom:

“Jesus was with me and He had a different plan”.

Colonel Mike above the earth

Riddle me this: if Mike could receive Jesus once a week 250 miles above his parish ON  earth, we should be able to invest one hour out of 168 hours at Mass ON earth.

Not the easiest to partake of the Eucharist 250 miles above the earth leaving your space vehicle for a walk.  But something most engaged, devoted Catholics know IN their heart:  Often, God is much better at making plans to bring others to His Son.

 

But, words to NEVER forget, emphasized by greats like Pope Saint John Paul the Great’s “Be not afraid” or the man of many talents Padre St Pio who calmly says: “Pray, hope, don’t worry.”

Our dying world desperately needs us to be fearless and bold.  IF we are open to the call of the Spirit, always ready as St Peter tell us in 1Peter3 14-15 to give our reasoned testimony wherever and whenever He tells us to speak and do, great things are in store.

By the stroke of his overworked Sharpie, President #47 signed 23 pardons Jan 23, 2025 for non-crimes emanating from theDonald Trump signs an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 23, 2025. Obamakamalacabal & Jill’s Joe administration, which kickoff on Jan 20, 2021 plus 4 years of corruption and destruction had just ended.

The total cost of #46 Joe’s four year tenure, in actual lives, dollars, opportunities, wars and more, is still being tallied, but will conservatively be in the trillion$ of dollars…stay tuned…

Quick backstory on Lauren: 

Early in 2013, no longer on a Catholic parish staff after 33 years, I had a minor role in arranging the June 17-28, 2013 Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust prolife training camp.

The place it happened at, was a location Relevant Radio host Patrick Madrid  knows well: Santiago Retreat Center in the OC.

Fast forward: As it turned out, the youngest prolife warrior, Lauren was given 57 months in Fed lockup, the most I believe among the Garland 9 and other prolifers treated unjustly.

In 2013, Ms. Handy was in RCIA at her local parish, preparing to join the Church  and came to the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust camp for hands-on training with Jeff White, Cheryl Conrad, Troy Newman, Bryan Kemper, Kristina Garza etc. and innovative events like a public Hoag hospital thank you, die-ins at the beach and AMC “the Block”, etc.

Necessary “out of the box” experiences the young people thrived on because the young need to be challenged.

A daily plus was Survivors coordinator back then Kristina Garza is a devoted Catholic and we had daily Mass available for all comers at the old St Michael’s Abbey 4 miles away.

One of those June mornings included a surprise reunion with Fr Leo Celano, the legendary and mighty prolife Norbertine/ Premonstratensian now in heaven or nearby in Purgatory. I vote for heaven but if you knew Fr Leo, you’d understand.

Working with her at camp, Lauren showed me what a focused living saint looks like.   Fearless, bold yet reserved in demeanor, ready to serve.

She continued to work with Survivors after that camp, among other prolife ministries; eg the Survivors’ answered invitation to join New Mexico Alliance for Life (the picture above) with Bud& Tara Shaver, Elisa Martinez etc. in serious efforts to save lives in that rabid pro-abortion state.  NM Alliance for Life continues today under Elisa Martinez’ leadership.

Trump holds up an Executive Grant of Clemency that pardons 23 anti-abortion protestors he just signed in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 23, 2025.

23 set free pro lifers via J 23 pardons

Some time later, Lauren got more involved in DC after becoming a lay professed (angel or saint, choose one):

An early meme I made reflecting planned barrenhood maternal deaths; Lauren is pictured holding the sign as she did often at PP DC.

 

She discovered the 115 dead DC fetuses and got them a respectful burial; her FACES act arrest and future incarceration at Tallahassee Fed Penitentiary came from giving roses to women in crisis (something I am privileged to do most Saturdays at PParenthood HQ Tustin @ 22 in Orange).

But not all pardons are equal:  The interesting irony about Lauren doing her time in da joint: she wasted no time at Tallahassee Fed Penitentiary, witnessing and helping women inmates. Recall the astronaut Hopkins words above: yes, Jesus is with me AND He has a different plan!

If you think about it: other then walking into hell at Margaret Sanger Kill Mills, one of the worst places for female abuse is inside women’s prisons; a minority inside the walls are scumbag guards, usually men, who torture the ladies, demanding sex like slaves, already vulnerable.

Like the apostles in the Roman jails, Lauren did what she does well, ministered to the least, the lost, the lonely, the abused she saw daily while inside doing her unjust sentence.  What did astronaut Hopkins say?  “Jesus was with me and He had other plans!”   Lauren just ministered.  Her desire to serve Jesus and protect the innocent little ones (as well as moms) extended beyond the non-grave:

From Diana/NYPost: “…Lauren Handy, was sentenced to five years in prison last year following her October 2020 conviction for trying to block the doors of a DC abortion clinic and streaming the action online. Prosecutors said Handy’s actions left one nurse with a sprained ankle suffered when she was pushed to the ground, while an expectant mother experiencing labor pains was blocked from getting inside.”

You can always believe a Sanger soldier, prosecutors and legal beagles hired by Planned Parenthood: they never lie because they tell us they never lie.  Sprained abortion nurse and a mother probably in day2 of a chemically induced abortion going into labor.   Versus 66 million so far dead American children never to make it to curtain climbing, toddler waddling, kindergarten and other human stages of growth.

Diana continued: “In a subsequent search of Handy’s home, authorities said, they found five fetuses stashed in coolers.”  Translation: the 5 dead humans were waiting proper burial and kept on ice, not in Yale Med lab coolers or at Dr Regan Thieler’s dual offices at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and TexMed Branch ice boxes waiting packaging and transfer to the highest foetal organ bidders.

 

Joan Bell with other members of her church

Joan Bell is the smiling one with her church community after the good news.  OK, next to hubby Christopher in the middle.

Another saintly hero, dealing with serious health issues, is was incarcerated St Joan Bell; she did not want an early release as a testimony and witness to the evils of the kill mill industry, though her release photo at the Capitol shows a huge smile.

Recall we celebrated and prayed for her during Lila Rose’s time on stage at the Eucharistic Congress June 2024 in Indianapolis.  God ANSWERS prayers!

“Prosecutors from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia argued the pro-life activists violated the 1994 FACE Act, a federal law that prohibits physical force, threats of force or intentionally damaging property to prevent someone from obtaining or providing abortion services.  The activists were sentenced by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, a Clinton appointee, and immediately detained.” (Hat tip Jamie Joseph at Fox News)

While signing the pardons Thursday, just a day before Friday’s annual March for Life rally, Trump said, “They should not have been prosecuted.”   Really?!

Truth be told, Joan’s 27 month ruling easily could have been a death sentence under Kamalala!

If hell’s sad sweetheart, Kamala had been elected, Joan would certainly have died in prison.  Funny how the former Prez of Vice never looks in the mirror to see she needs to repent and follow Christ…NOT the devil.  After all, hell has enough followers racing down the wide ride.

One thing the corrupt godless do is always look for a patsy, someone else to blame.  Now, its Kamala’s hubby’s fault she lost the election.  So, the billion$campaign pot wasn’t enough?

I recall the Tom Jones song “Everything is Beautiful” and the line: “…there is none so blind as (s)he who will not see!”  Pray for this sad hardened soul, who spent $1 billion + and still owes money to contractors in the failed presidential run.

You had the money, honey but even a billion can’t buy an unjust deceitful presidency post Joe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like Joan, Lauren probably had mixed feelings about the pardon but at least Joan is out…waiting on Lauren’s release.

(this is a developing story..updated in the future)      

The first ten of the 23 early releases:  “The pardons would bring immediate relief to those currently imprisoned including Lauren Handy (57 months in prison), John Hinshaw (21 months), Jonathan Darnell (34 months), Herb Geraghty (27 months), Jean Marshall (24 months), Joan Bell (27 months), Paulette Harlow (24 months), Bevelyn Williams (41 months), Heather Idoni (24 months), and Calvin Zastrow (6 months).”  (Hat tip to Ed Morrisey’s Hot Air site)

National Catholic Register on the 24th had a more complete listing:

“NCR:  The Thomas More Society, the Chicago-based public interest law firm, had earlier in January announced it had submitted formal requests to pardon 21 pro-life activists convicted under the FACE Act. They included Joan Bell, Coleman Boyd, Joel Curry, Jonathan Darnel, Eva Edl, Chester Gallagher, William Goodman, Dennis Green, Lauren Handy, Paulette Harlow, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, Jean Marshall, Father Fidelis Moscinski, Justin Phillips, Paul Place, Paul Vaughn, Bevelyn Beatty Williams, Calvin Zastrow, Eva Zastrow, and James Zastrow.

The two other convicted pro-life activists pardoned by Trump are Herb Geraghty of Pennsylvania and Jay Smith of New York.  Many are still incarcerated.

Lauren Handy, a Catholic convicted for her participation in a 2020 abortion clinic blockade in Washington, has been serving the longest sentence: 57 months.  According to a list maintained by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Handy is currently in a federal prison in Florida (Tallahassee Federal). Idoni is incarcerated in Florida; Marshall and Goodman in Connecticut; Darnel and Calvin Zastrow in Illinois; Hinshaw in Massachusetts; Geraghty in Pennsylvania; and Williams, who was arrested for protesting outside an abortion clinic in New York City, in Alabama.”

By the way, don’t forget to look to the stars!

The Celestial Scene parallels this Jubilee year kickoff:

NEVER forget our Creator God built the universe, not for the angels & devils, but for His beloved humans.  He owns the Cosmos and uses the constellations and stars to TEACH us, prophesy stuff (ever hear of the House of Bread of Life Bethlehem Star?) and speak to the more critically skeptical science minded folks.

Planet Parade 2025: Rare Alignment Of 6 Planets On January 21; Know How This Celestial Event ...

Jan 2025 to Feb 2nd

Meanwhile, as the six planets have lined up on the ecliptic plane end of January, great things happened across the land celebrating more than “Roe No Mo’!”

March for Life DC Friday was incredible, with avid prolife Kamala’s replacement, the Catholic JD Vance adVancing the cause; West Coast March Saturday as well.  Vance~ Bondi for President 2028?

Can’t forget Saturday’s West Coast Walk4Life.  For example, the young guys learning to build a house from Santiago Retreat Center’s Trade School, were building the future marching on San Francisco’s streets, singing the rosary, doing great things.  Their fearless leader, Mark was there as well. Thank you to the Dulacs, Mr. McElrath and others for their vision. AND yet more great examples of the energized young from the Trade School being modeled across America.

Back outside PP HQ in Orange, on the possible Equinox/Solstice date anniversary the 25th: in addition to the usual suspects on the sidewalk, a new team St John the Baptist Catholic Church’s young adult pro-life team made their presence known doing a two hour stint on the sidewalk separating heaven and hell.

Youth minister  Brandon and the young adult ProLife coordinator Kathleen had 20 energetic 20 somethings praying and counseling the victims of a decaying society that needs truth and Jesus.  Make that Jesus and Truth.  Details further down.  The time for rejuvenating the prolife movement continues…

Is it in the stars?  Does God speak to us outside the thick bibles we carry around? Yes, word of God Sunday followed…

Faustina wedged between two Kings marching in the West Coast Walk4Life a few years ago

March4Life Friday and West Coast Life Saturday. But I think yes IS the right guess about the interaction of the cosmos and earth, since God leaves nothing to chance and uses all His created tools to bring us home forever. Think about:

 Bethlehem stars followed by Wise Easterners, salvation history IN the constellations, prophetic 2623BC Father’s monument to His Beloved Eucharistic Son known as Giza, 1531 Cactus fiber Tilmas in Mexico, 7 swords of St Michael, etc. 

Don’t forget a must mention of the Shroud of Turin first worn as a large necklace by the Impossible St. Jude Thaddeus AND studied feverishly by a PB&J (physicist, blind Jesuit named Fr Spitzer); growing numbers of Eucharistic miracles beyond Lanciano, that include Terri Schiavo’s life~death, Pope Francis’ as priest Argentina miracle and more.

Fair question: Are we in interesting times or what??!  …or the beginning of the end of end times?  You tell me.

Hmm: we know Jesus died on Friday the 13th Hebrew month of Abib and Mary purposefully appeared six 13s in a row in 1917.  So, God values the numbe 13 for shorthand for the Trinity?   How about a more recent 13th of a month.  In 2024, Trump was rifled with a shot heard ’round the world…yes, on a Marian Saturday 13th, June last year; he truly believes God spared his life for greater purposes and I’m waaay below the prophetic paygrade to counter the reality.

When Will the Planets Align in 2025? What You Should Know

The alignment is known as the planetary parade

Also, recall, we had the providential eclipse two years ago that tracked in the middle of the US; also, in 2025, Jan 22-25, a rare planetary parade, with six planets aligning extraordinarily precise, peaking January 25 (much needed rain clouded the SoCal picture but that’s ok with the fires) and soon, featuring the moon lined up with the six solar system wanderers on Feb 2nd.

OK, all you super Christmassians like Orange County Catholic author Rebekah Valderrama, Feb 2nd IS the last last day of the Christmas season celebrating the presentation of the Lord; amid the fact even the way most of our sun’s orbiting planets present themselves to the Son this Jubilee year is incredible.

Don’t you feel it? God is pulling out ALL stops to get us and others to heaven.  Don’t just believe this old prolife dad of 11.  LOOK up & research.

My beautiful wife Mary  (like another Mary, the 2nd Eve,  she said “Yes!” to adopting 12 people) and I found out while in flight before landing in Cincinatti that 13th day of June while heading to our son Nathan and wife Jen’s farmhouse for an Ohio visit.

You know Trump’s story by now, enough said about Providential Redirection; but Mary and I were due in Indianapolis June 17th for registration Wednesday at the well attended National Eucharistic Congress under Bishop Cozzens and others, featuring Thursday night mother Lila Rose sharing her testimony and her conversion to Catholicism.  Yes amazing times, people of God!  We were soooo looking forward to the five day event and all it had in store during this Revival from the Covid suppression of religion sadly obeyed by our bishops to the extreme.

We abruptly left the NEC early June 19th after Tony Melendez’ beautiful story with him introducing his new song (that’s another bizarre story).  I left first since I was expelled in lieu of arrest at noon and I picked Mary up at 3pm. Remember:

Again Jesus is with us and often He has different plans for us to carry out. The shortened NEC stay was not my idea and certainly NOT Mary’s, yet the change of plans gave us two extra days so we returned to Dayton to see four great awesome formerly fostered grandkids before flying home to Newsom’s governorship.

The Adoption option is an incredibly fruitful & satisfying way to be prolife, young couples!

It’s good to point out, being “pro-life” often is not seen for the wide berth of joy and sometimes struggle it entails; their work is most efficacions as you read below and not just a bunch of great and energetic young adults from the only Baptist Catholic church I know in America:  St John’s!

Another definition of pro-life, Jen & Chesterton Academy of St Joe’s headmaster Nate adopted the last 3 of their 4 fosters on All Saints Day last November. Two 5s, a 4 and a  3 year old I believe qualifies for super parent prolife status.   Insanity has many synonyms but raising kids still remains the best way to keep humans on God’s green earth.  Musk has NOT discovered homo sapiens on Mars yet.

Yes, being prolife is more than holding signs, though graphic images and words save lives.  I will never convince everyone that matching the graphic aborted little ones WITH next to, the beautiful foetal development images saves lives because it confronts the societal lies with the graphic undeniable truth of life and death, prebirth born vs mutilated.

My oldest daughter Amanda and her Diocese of Houston Youth Dir. Brian have 5 kids in Houston, where I was privileged to help, in a small way, to cement the truth for David Daleiden and his attorney, now representative Briscoe Cain that planned parenthood was selling parts not shipping only charging for “handling”. What BS!  Proof was hidden in plain sight in the purchase orders and invoices. FOB does not imply an object, but Free On Board in the shipping fields.  PP Gulf Coast told us they lied, stating they only charge UTexas Med school shipping but wrote “FOB Destination”.

Baby Rose’s vitals are listed… there is no excuse for what Hitlerian things PP does to innocent babies and their lied to moms.

Houston is also the home of the most photographed prebirth child found there, I first called Baby Rose in the 80s. Today, Rose would be in her late 30s and probably raising a family IF she hadn’t been mutilated and killed by the local planned parenthood Texas affiliate.   Yes, her baby picture is gross, and the kill mill killers are counting on decent people being grossed out and stopping her being displayed.  Major mistake to NOT use them but better done accompanied with baby at 1 month, 2 months etc pictures.

Prolifers make a commitment to protect life from conception to natural death, to speak and do the truth even when it is costly, like stories of 23 imprisoned heroes, sometimes very costly to our own lives.  Making sacrifices and focusing, not on the big three, me myself and I, but on family.

Forget About Me, I Love You’ comes to mind, thank you Mike M!

Being prolife is not just an hour a week, though that is all the Church requires of us outside of the Garden of Gethsemane. OK some Masses go longer than 60minutes.  Prolife is a 24/7 attitude of “how can I help, Lord, today?”   After all, “it IS a great day to be alive!!”

PP Vigils for life.  Back in California, in the heart of the OC, we try most Saturdays to help women protect themselves and their babies at the Orange County HQ of CEO Jon Dunn’s planned parenthood of San Bernardino and OC counties.

700 Tustin Ave at the 22 freeway in Orange has been the home of much evil, but the brick building has seen and heard great people like David Daleiden and Lila Rose, the Premonstratensian Fr Alan from St Michael’s Abbey and a encouraging testimony about the $7 million judgement by DA Rackaukaus for planned parenthood selling DaVinci Biosciences (Yorba Linda) chopped up baby parts.  Some dare call them human!   You and I certainly do!

A useful time tested strategy remains using roses. How often will a woman pass up a fragile rose?  Adaptable everywhere.

Every kill mill has different layouts, situations, roadblocks, opportunities to help, some very little.  My three decade nemesis, PPHQ Orange County  has a  long driveway and the strategy is roses for EVERY woman on the sidewalk out front (women deserve a rose every day) and plenty for women driving back out onto Tustin Ave after their kill mill experience for the escape.

A beautiful double delight still not as beautiful as every woman

Color me a bit overly exuberant, but EVERY woman deserves a rose every day as the constant reminder that as the gender that gives life, womanhood, is critical to life remaining on this planet.  The human kind. But, please know, she is much more than an organic baby dispensary or diaper changer. 

After God did the easy stuff, creating billions of stars and planets, including our nine or ten, millions of animals, plants and biochemical processes (like God’s critical gift of carbon dioxide to keep us alive), He designed and created His greatest work: the first Eve of millions, even billions.

Don’t take my word for it: what did God do after His final act of general creation?  He took the day off!  Look it up in Genesis.  In fact, I just heard Trump echoed the Creator and said there are only two genders. Male and female.

Hey guys, gather ’round: I discovered something the day after my heart attack on St Michael’s feast day Sept 29, 2024: when the Kaiser tech did my echo heart ultrasound, he discovered I was NOT pregnant!  Whew, I never learned guys could be moms at Servite 50 years ago.

OK, a little comedic, but crazy lefties, MEN don’t get pregnant, carry a pink or blue bowling ball around for months until Sally or Stevie kindly get the heck out of Dodge. err. her mom’s womb.  Yet, men of valor, without that beautiful lady you have sweaty palms over, making your heart pump faster you’d like to ask out on a date courtship step, spaceship planet Earth is done for.

Here’s the rose sidewalk strategy:  As they reach the driveway’s white area adjacent to the public area of walk and street, a ‘sidewalk counselor’ or two often holds up a rose and a small packet of information.  The rose often is the stopper: the driver slows up, rolls down his window or the victim opens hers, rarely driving and you have on average 17 seconds to talk to the woman who had something done to her inside the dungeon of the brick kill mill.  Be prepared: it isn’t always an abortion, and the woman needs your printed crisis pregnancy list more than ever no matter WHY she went inside.

On rare occasions, you get two or three minutes, like St John’s Elizabeth got on jan 25th,  if the security guards are doing other things.  We are never disruptive nor blocking access dangerously; that’s not the kind of proLife we need.  Recount reporter Jamie’s description of the applied horribly unjustly FACES act:

“the 1994 FACE Act, a federal law that prohibits 1) physical force, 2) threats of force or 3)  intentionally damaging property to prevent someone from obtaining or providing abortion services.” 

I believe FACES WILL be defaced in 2025 Jubilee year: for some odd reason, the 2020 BLM~AntiFa Summer of Hate, with 50 dead people, thousands of small businesses gone and billions in “damaged property” loss, FACES was NOT applied to even one criminally sane tyrant.  Color has nothing to do with it; nor ‘anti fascism’.  It is dirty pool, singling out giving life affirming words AND objects like candy canes, labor & delivery bags, roses and information sheets, as evil.

However, Radical stupidity remains rampant, like Harvard Hamas Jew haters clubs. It’s time for the young to be Women of Courage and Men of Valor.

Beginnings: The monthly Young ProLife Warriors from St John the Baptist. 

Sadly, smiles only seem to occur this side of the PP HQ wall

Jan 25, with San Francisco abuzz with peaceful Walk4Life advocates for keeping moms and kids alive, I was sooo impressed outside my thorny PP HQ. Look who showed up! Women of Courage and Men of Valor.

The 20 young adults (TY Brandon, Kathleen etc.) from St John the Baptist Catholic church in Costa Mesa made the trek out to PP Headquarters where they draw and quarter too many prebirth kids, still selling them on the open market of death.

On Jan 25 for almost two hours these courageous young prayed and counseled on the sidewalk on Tustin; in fact, the lady I called the queen to protect her anonimity and my memory, walked the 80 something faithful prayer warrior Jerome back across the street to safety.

Of note, we gave out a healthy amount of free info and thorns adorned with roses.   But, a huge high point Miss E from St John the Baptist was able to engage a woman in conversation; the unidentified 20 something pregnant girl sat high in a monster truck and let Miss E know she wanted to keep her baby; her driver boyfriend seemed compliant and Miss E had a couple minutes to discuss her options.

She offered her the fly sheet on the local crisis pregnancy centers like the Life Center of Orange County, La Habra Life Center, Obria, Horizon and others where she can get help, for free.  After 40 years of this work, I am a bit uncomfortable with saying we “save” the babies, not to demean the great work pro-lifer warriors do.  We are mere instruments, prompted by the Holy Spirit to NOT be afraid, stand courageous and ask for the words to change a heart.  God seeks our obedience to His call, more than other things.

17 seconds (the average time to talk as the car leaves PP) is not a lot of time to change one’s confused heart, but it works. Remember, God IS timeless and miraculous.

Miss E even gave the woman her number and offered her follow up support.  That is dedication; and the information gave the pregnant lady, more like girl, free access for REAL help.

No, no charge and yes, without being interrogated like the PP sales girls and death doctors into “why would you keep it?” or “imagine how it will change your life”, “You can’t afford it”.   It is NOT an it. The ‘it” PP loves to dehumanize is a living human baby, needed to reverse the worldwide depopulation going on where 50 nations are a generation away from extinction.  NOT from a neutron bomb, but refusing to have kids.  No kids, no world, no schools, no growth…having babies survive birth IS the solution.

God said to multiply NOT subtract or divide kids up into marketable parts.

Conveniently, the Life Center is just blocks away and excellent on giving distraught women a 2nd look and REAL choices.

Lila Rose flanked by Maria and my #8 Briana at SoCal youth life event 10 years ago. Before hubby & kids for all three.

I won’t lie to you: prolife work can be hard but the pope of Fatima, of Hitler and great promises, Pope John Paul the Great said: Be Not Afraid. 

We need the younger generation to take up their mantle and replace the Lens, the Jerome, the Joans, and join the Laurens for the next years.  

Lauren also spent time on the road with the Survivors Outreach Team that traveled the US to high schools and universities to give truth to the young people, and hold the liars’ feet to the fire.  Here is a remote letter by founder Jeff from over a decade ago, getting a play by play of the crazies who call ProLifers crazy...you think our collegians are nuts today, from Harvard Hamasian sympathizers to rabid proAbort shills for PP, read this letter. 

Kristina was the director, Lauren Handy, Emily and a few others traveled the highways and byways to visit and teach the truth to mind numbed coeds and college boys.  The letter is a bit long but an easy read focusing what courageous prolife young adults do…if you are a young adult, Catholic and ready to serve, we are talking efficacious adventure.

They call us crazy! They throw rocks at us and light
our pamphlets on fire !! They spit on us and draw
mustaches on aborted babies!!! Who’s crazy now?

Dear Friend,

I spoke to Kristina, our Campus Outreach Director, by telephone this morning. The Survivors team is on the road, traveling through the northwest. This morning they were in Boise, Idaho.

Kristina put me on speakerphone so I could talk to and hear from the team.

         Boy, did I get an earful! The team was animated and excited as they shared story after story of obnoxious teachers, mobs out of control, persecutions they suffered, and victories snatched from the midst of the chaos!!! 

Right now I’m looking at my notes scribbled as they shared. Sometimes they were talking so fast it was hard to keep track! I have pages of crazy stories.

At the end of the call Kristina summed it up when she said, “You know, they call us crazies, but look who’s crazy now!!

          Let me share some of the stories beginning with Las Vegas: Picture with me an abortion worker angrily standing in front of the door of an abortion clinic, indignant the Survivors are there.   As a young pregnant mom approaches, Lauren hands her some literature and says, “Put this in your purse or she (the angry abortion worker) will rip it out of your hands.” The young girl looks at Lauren like she thought that was a crazy statement.

But sure enough, the worker sees it and demand, “Gimme that!” pointing to the literature in the girl’s purse as they walk into the killing center. She disappears into the clinic. Sadness fills the air, another baby lost.

But a few moments later she comes back out, clearly shaken up. Lauren puts her arm around her and assures her she was going to be okay and the girl leaves, comforted by Lauren’s kindness with her baby still safely resting in her womb. Crazy isn’t it!?

From there the team drove on up to Salt Lake City. The way the team described this city was “untouched” because the abortion clinic acted like they had never had someone stand against abortion in front of their clinic.

One employee came out and demanded to know who the Survivors were. Kristina happily gave her one of her cards. Then a new employee walks up and says, as she stared at the pictures of aborted babies, “Whoa! This is what they do?” She was horrified.    Before it was time to leave two women left the clinic and chose life for their babies. Now that’s not crazy at all!

         But ya wanna talk crazy!? Then Boise was the place to be.
         At a high school in Boise what could only be described as a mob scene erupted on the sidewalk instigated by the vice principal and protected by the police. 
First, the VP kept yelling at the Survivors to stop bullying “his” students as he aggressively tried to block the view of the images.   Emily was surrounded by an angry mob of about 20 boys all yelling at her and mocking her. As she held her ground and continued to try to speak to anyone who was not acting crazy, one of the boys lit the pamphlets in her arm on fire!!! Yes he lit them on fire as she held them!!
         But it became even crazier! 
At one point some high schoolers began to spit on Lauren and a couple even began to throw rocks! You would think that the police would step in, or maybe a school administrator, but their attitude was: Well if you’re going to show this crazy stuff you should expect some people to get angry.
         Now that is crazy! And a dereliction of duty!!! They are like the old cops in the south during the civil rights days that stood by and watched as blacks and civil rights workers were beaten.
I confess I was getting angry as I listened but then the excitement level rose again as they all said: “Kristina, tell him about that one boy at the end!” 
It seems one young man, 15 years old, was just watching and after the crowd dispersed a little he walked up to Kristina and spoke with her for about 15 minutes. He said to Kristina: Thank you for having a conversation with me. I’ve never had a conversation with someone pro-life.  But then it got crazy!!!
         A teacher or administrator came rushing over to where the boy and Kristina were talking. She yelled at the boy, “What are you doing, get home right now, stop talking to this person, go home now!!!”
         The boy obeyed. Why? Because it was his mother!!!
         Kristina said to the mother/teacher; “Don’t be so closed minded.” The mother furiously screamed at Kristina a defense of her parenting model that included a declaration that she taught him to be open minded! Crazy way to show it I say.            But!!! Apparently she did because a few minutes later the boy returned to ask Kristina some more questions. He questioned the comparison to the holocaust as he looked at the images. She asked him how were the Nazis able to get the German people to despise and forsake the Jews?
         He responded, by dehumanizing them. Kristina simply pointed to the aborted baby in the photo and asked, “What did they do to her?”     He simply said, “Wow!”
         Then the crazy mom came back, shocked he had returned, and was just chewing him out and berating him for talking to Kristina again. This time she was going to walk him home herself!
         As he walked away he discreetly waived goodbye to Kristina, holding his arm close to his side so his mother wouldn’t see the pro-life literature he carried.
         This is what the team wanted me to know!! Great thing happen in the midst of craziness!!! 
         This was just one high school: pamphlets lit on fire, rocks thrown, being spit on and some great conversation – it all makes for one exciting crazy day with the Survivors Campus Outreach Team.
         It didn’t stop there. The next day they went to Boise State University, you know, that bastion of higher education in the midst of enlightened students!
         The only way Kristina could describe it was like a tourist area in Mexico called La Bufadora which translates the blow hole. La Bufadora is a constant assault of your senses as loud music, the smell of delicious foods and hundreds of trinket hawkers vie for your attention.
         It started well at Boise State as the pro-life club leader thanked the team for being there. He said he always wanted to have the abortion victim photography at his university. But soon crowds began to gather in the quad and then counter demonstrators arrived.   This is when Kristina said it began to feel like La Bufadora.
         As the crowds grew a bunch of guys from the Secular Student Alliance decided to create a “Shame Free Zone” as they chalked a big circle around where they were standing.
         They said Shame Free but you had to wonder if they meant Brain Free as one angry college male shouted: “No human should ever be shamed for any choice they make!” That was deep.
         But the craziness continued as one of the men held a sign stating: “My body my choice.”
         Kristina didn’t want to waste her time trying to educate them on their anatomy so she and the team just did their best to ignore them.   Kristina said it seemed like the university was just flipping out! She said the students were acting like monkeys at the zoo, jumping around and screaming.
        Some, saying they represented Planned Parenthood, pelted the team with condoms! Shouting, “We love abortion!”
         The team could only laugh as they described to me the crazy scene of obnoxious students and counter protestors but they said what made it seem surreal was the contrast of the “normal” mixed in with the bizarre.
         There were people handing out coupons for tacos, Komen bracelets, rosaries were being given away by another group and of course the barrage of condoms from Planned Parenthood.
         Then as one of the team members was explaining to a pro-life girl on campus that you needed to keep an eye on the students because they sometimes would vandalize the pictures she noticed a young man kneeling in front of the sign.
         Sure enough!! He was vandalizing the sign! 
         He drew a moustache on the face of the aborted baby. Lauren asked him, “Why would you do that to the picture of that little girl who was killed by abortion?”
He just smirked and said, “Well it’s a boy now! I love abortion.”
         I tell you; if you are not afraid for the future of our country you would be after just spending a couple of days with the Survivors Campus Outreach Team, experiencing what they experience!
But the team wants you to know something! And they want you to know it as well as they know it because they don’t want you to be discouraged!
 
Kristina summed it all up: “They like to call us crazy but at the end of the day…
            they are the ones who look crazy and it works to our advantage!”
The team wants you to know they love the work they do.
         Being hit with rocks or condoms, being spit on or mocked all comes with the privilege of being on campus and speaking out on the issue of their day. They represent the truth of abortion and go as ambassadors of Christ and their work is not in vain!
         They want you to know that day after day, conversation after conversation – even in the midst of unimaginable craziness – God uses them to change hearts and minds and to save the lives of babies every week.
They are prepared to deal with crazy, they only ask for your continued prayers and support. They are brave young people and I am very proud of them.
I hope you will indeed pray for them and support them as they travel to high schools and colleges, enduring real persecution for standing up for the babies and their faith.
Please help us keep this team on the road. National tours are very expensive not only in the cost of discipleship the Survivors must endure but also in real expenses associated with being on the road.
I want to keep them on the road. I want to keep them out there speaking up against abortion and sharing the gospel of life.
Do you? Do you think the Survivors need to be out there taking a bold stand?
         I hope you will show your support with a special gift to keep the Survivors moving from campus to campus in a schedule so busy it could only be called crazy! Your gift will let the Survivors Team know you believe in what they are doing. That you are proud of them for enduring assaults both verbal and physical.
         Do you want to know what I think would be crazy?
         To have this courageous team of young people have to return home not because they grew discouraged or tired of the abuse, but because we just didn’t have the money to keep them on the road. Now that would be crazy!!
Please, these young people are the best – we must keep them on campuses. I ask you to sacrifice and give the best gift you can today so Survivors can keep our great team of crazies on the road!
To kinda quote Billy Joel: You may be right, they may be crazy, but they may just be the lunatics we’re looking for!!!
They’ve been spit on and hit with rocks and condoms but they’ve saved babies and changed hearts and minds.
But without your support and special gift today 
we will have to bring them home and that would be crazy! 
                                      Crazy for Christ and the babies, Jeff   ~~Founder, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust

P.S. They call the team “crazies”. They are crazy for standing for the babies, crazy for daring to show abortion victim photography at high schools and colleges, crazy for not walking away even as they have rocks thrown at them and pamphlets they are holding lit on fire, crazy for enduring being spat on and hit with condoms.

But in the end they bring true sanity to a world gone crazy as they take a stand for life and faith. It would only be crazy if we don’t support them by making it possible for the team to stay on the road. Please send them the very best gift you can today and let them know they are your type of crazy!

Great news: During her incarceration, Lauren would share about her experiences on her substack.  This is her last one, posted there.  Think about this: 30 year old veteran belies her age with her mature faith and love for others:  NO edits in this letter; let it be an inspiration to all young people looking for the best place to be: in front of a woman in need, something Ms E of St John the Baptist ProLife young adults experienced first hand Jan 25th.   Pray for Lauren’s future as we pray for yours!  Our work is just beginning, heroes!

jan 22, 2025 Lauren’s words:  “During the beginning of my FACE trial, as I watched abortion fund donors get placed on my jury, I would clench my fists and repeat, “I’m playing the long game.” I told myself I could survive this moment and any indignity, cheap shot, and degradation because the future I was working towards was worth the suffering. This promise became a mantra, a rallying cry, a social media post, and on the first night of my incarceration a burning ember in my soul.

Now 17 months later I ask myself, “What game am I playing?” and “What does winning even look like?”

On the inside looking out, I have watched the shifting landscape of our movement. I have seen loss after loss on a state level, burnout and bitterness settle into activists, and profound paradigm shifts that reflect our current unsteady environment. This makes me wonder what am I even coming home to? Especially when this sharply contrasts with my own experiences under incarcerated conditions.

In general, I try to make the best of any situation but I did not expect to see how I could thrive in my current setting. Yet here I am discovering how truly rewarding it is to see that my pro-life work in prison is just as rich and complex as on the outside. The future I was working toward before the trial was not put on pause. I am taking an active part in the future — making a world beyond abortion — here and now.

Towards the end of December, I was approached to lead a workshop at our prison’s end-of-the-year “Women’s Retreat” for my fellow inmates. I chose to speak on using our personal healing journeys as a catalyst for community transformation. Leading this workshop on politicized healing was incredibly empowering. Watching others approach their own healing in a radical way showed me that building communities that embody love has to start with healing ourselves. That’s why all the games I played (with myself, others, and God) fell away with the understanding that healing is the victory.

A world beyond abortion is predicated on our needs for safety, belonging, and dignity being met. And so I no longer see myself “playing the long game” but as a gardener planting trees for future generations to sit under. By creating the conditions for preborn justice to flourish, we will see liberation in our lifetime.

My hope for 2025 is for folks to access healing in their lives because that is where true victory lies.

The future is bright and full of love,  Lauren HandyFCI Tallahassee

~~~~~~~~~~best to you, Lauren.  God is exceedingly pleased as is Jesus’ mom, Mary~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) posted a video earlier Thursday calling for Trump to release the prisoners, including 89-year-old Eva Edl, a pro-life activist and survivor of a communist concentration camp in the former Yugoslavia.

“Biden prosecuted pro-lifers—including an 89-year-old concentration camp survivor—for singing hymns in a clinic hallway,” Hawley said on X. “And then Biden turned around & handed out pardons for criminal murderers on his last day in office. President Trump can & should right these wrongs.”

Fascinating, one criminal granted a pardon by Dementia riddled Joe was a demonic guy who shot two FBI agents point blank in their skulls…while his UNjustice team imprisoned mall walkers for 1000 days with NO trial just because he was drunk with a poisonous brew of arrogant power mixed with demonic oppression.

Thank you for reading.  Being open to life is a joyful thing but not always easy.

A young lady, #10 Faustina and #11 Katrina Cherise Irene Beckman. Katrina is now 21 and Faustina just married a great young prolife man without his fired chariot, Elijah

Let me end with this.  Two years after Donna died, I put this short note out to friends and family in lieu of a remembrance day.  I hope it gives you courage to NEVER be afraid, always ready to give a reason for the hope, a pilgrim’s hope this Jubilee year, that lies within your heart.

Sept 9, 2013  “Donna showed her pro-life colors.  She loved kids so much, every time the nurse asked her “Do you want an epidural?” (unmarried male readers: it’s to reduce pain at childbirth) she said no eleven times, not wanting even a 1% chance of hurting the baby in the womb.  The consummate mother and a good woman of God.
I was the lucky one; she adopted me first. Though she went home very early, and I am no longer a husband, I remain gifted with amazing children and good friends and family like you.  (of course since then Mary said Yes! to me and the other 11 kids, what a blessing she has been)
 I hope you enjoy the two pictures I chose to accompany this note: the first is not morbid, but full of life’s hope. Recall Bishop Brown visited that Wed at the funeral home; there were 900 at her rosary at St. Anthony Claret Wed night, then 1400+ at Holy Family Cathedral, officiated by Msgr Doug, nine other priests and three deacons for the funeral Mass.
At the Rosary, we inserted her first and last merit badge card.   It shows the love Donna had for Mary and the rosary, and the first, and last, unusual “merit badge”at the vigil rosary. For non BSA people, merit badge cards are given to scouts, after doing the work and earning it, and must be signed off by the merit badge counselor to be valid.  I signed it as the clueless husband/scoutmaster but the more important signature in blood was Merit Counselor Jesus Christ’s name; He gave her His merit by His death so she will have a peaceful eternity.   Uhm, anyone can apply for this merit badge, btw.  Simple app process, ask Jesus to be your Counselor for time and eternity.  The benefits, let’s just say, are pretty much infinite.
The second is her last photo taken at the HFC young adult ministry Mass with Fr. Quang on July 31st celebrating/honoring our anniversary coming up on Aug 15th.  It turned out to be Donna’s last Mass since 40 days later she headed Home into the Heavenlies.  40, like so many numbers, has real significance in salvation history and the Scriptures. Meaning probation, testing. Donna passed the test of time and eternity. And that special gift Donna provided the world through Lauren (Kramer) eight days after she died is precious too.
Repeating the favor request: please support two great organizations with a donation in honor of Donna and her 2nd heavenly anniversary . 

 I ask nothing for myself but your knowledge you understand the battle is heated, and won in short skirmishes

Elijah and Faustina ~ Dec 28, 2024 Holy Innocents

exposing life for how great it is, and evil for its diabolic depravity.  These two groups are on the front line, energizing a generation willing to do great things to end this astronomical scourge:  Different Checks should be made payable to:

Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust”  and “Protect Albuquerque’s Women and Children”.
Survivors” is a deserving org that does incredible campus outreach, training camps (one at Santiago Retreat Orange County and Albuquerque this year) and have been invited to send ambassadors to the last stronghold against abortion, Ireland by Dr. Oeghan of Youth Defence, scheduled now for Spring 2014 per Dr. Oeghan’s request.  Kristina was recently quoted in the NYTimes:   “To deny recognition of our generation’s holocaust is discrimination.”  Amen.  Meanwhile the outreach team is all over SoCal colleges saving babies, real ones, the ones that use Pampers.  If you were born since 1973, you are in the midst of your holocaust.”
~~~~~~~~~~End of 2 year post Donna passing letter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Donna is praying for you from heaven; any prayers you send her way I understand are passed on to those in need.
Recall the real need to make EVERY day count: our First Space communicant, Astronaut Hopkins’ words:

“Jesus was with me and He had a different plan”. 

Finis: as you pray, recall Jan 27th is the 80th anniversary of the pardoning/release of Auschwitz~Berkinau.  The deaths did not end there.  One of our young prolife heroes discovered and saved 115 dead little DC babies from the incinerator and paid the price in a Florida prison.  FIVE more in her home will see a respectful internment soon.  TY Lauren for your work!

“It IS a great day to be alive!!   Lord, use me as you not I will”

Yes, your comments welcome below.  LIVE your day 2day!

And pray for all the ProLife heroes out there, which can include yourself if you desire to be a part of one of the greatest missions of the Church.

Protecting life is important, IF we believe the inalienable rights of life, liberty and property/(pursuit of happiness in the South) are real.  You can’t own property or be free IF you are NOT alive!!

The ProLife Revival is surging.  This Jubilee year has some special surprises so get ready, confession, daily Mass if you can, but realize God the Father focused us on just how much He loves His Eucharistic Son, the Ultimate Gift we can partake in DAILY if not more frequently.

He first cast His commandments 10 on stone tablets; but He also staked His truth in stone in a well designed interactive monument in the desert that the Holy Family visited when king Herod had a hissy fit over competition for his crown.

Imagine this oddity, the real possibility FatherGod proudly offered His Most Precious Son as the Ultimate Gift 46 centuries ago, that we can today receive bloodlessly honoring the one time blood sacrifice of the Lamb of God.   God IS in control, of the planets, the stars, His critically life affirming carbon dioxide gift we mock God over, as if MAN not the Trinity is all powerful.

ALL of His Creation.

The Holy Family was in its shadow for a few years and it remains, though a bit in disrepair, in the middle and at a boundary,  at the center of His humankind’s world, the Savior’s compass, a beacon, a pillar of “fire”, keeper of His measurements, an altar…a gift to the Chosen People, to us, to the Egyptians and still the silent sentinel of LIFE!   After all, it IS a great day to be alive! and “Lord, use me as You will, not I”

 

Quo Vadis, America? Where are WE going this jubilee year 2025

Revised Nov 27 Nov29,2024  11/30

“We know in part, we prophesy in part…” 1 Corinthians 13 

“Human Governments never overcome God’s governance…”

50 years ago, a well known television and radio host, predecessor to Mother Angelica & EWTN, as well as Relevant Radio’s Fr. Rocky Hoffmansky, Super Mighty SarahT, Storybook Glen and John M&H, the Patricks Mr. Experience, Mr Call Screener & Inner Life, Divine Mercy Drew, St Maggie, Tremendous Timmerie, a Healthy Dose of Canadian Cale, unHindered Twosome, Cyrus the Great Producer, Brook the Patient Mom, St. Nick and many more, predicted this scenario:

Paraphrasing Bishop Saint Fulton Sheen’s Christ the  King Sunday 11/24/24 broadcast on patriotism:

  “In 2024, America will elect a woman as president. A reporter will go up to her husband, Doug Emhoff and ask for his comment:

 “I only regret that I have but one WIFE to lose for my country.”

Wild!  Look it up, without my contemporaneous adding of hubby Doug, talk about an amazing irony we dodged election day 2024…from five decades ago.   Now, there is signs of hope as 2025 unfolds.   Please don’t slough this off as “politics as usual” but see the chance for America, brick by brick, can rebuild what started a quarter millennium ago.

Thankfully, Mr Emhoff can keep his wife as we pray for her demonically oppressed soul; but, for a few million more illegal manufactured ballots, the great Bishop Sheen would be seen as a remarkable political prophet as well as the excellent teacher and first televangelist par excellence.

However, his wisdom talks of the signs of the times decades ago in another program (that Drew interestingly profiled Christ the King weekend) and we should heed the challenge before us. God IS the God of Second Chances.

As it is, the ultimate and best form of government, a beneficial monarchy headed by Jesus the Christ, is in all of our futures, whether we follow salvation history and believe in the Catholic Church’s call to “follow Him”…or not and follow a different deceitful father. No matter where we spend eternity, the feast we celebrate each end of a liturgical year, Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords, will remain.

Since our 1776’s revolution, the best form of earthly government has blessed us here in these United States, a federated republic, where the people ARE the government and we elect honorable citizen representatives to “represent” our interests, though too often the corrupt slink in.  This American experiment IS based on the natural law AND supernatural laws of the Creator:

Even our three major branches of elected legislative and executive, plus the confirmed judicial are patterned after the divine governance: the Law, Ruler/King and Judges  who carries out our blessed land.  The most blessed on God’s green earth.

Unfortunately, human nature being what it is,  like out of control barnacles on an ocean liner, the federal behemoth, the leviathan or beast, whatever you call it, has continued to expand, and not surprisingly,  usurped the elected representatives of you and me, the actual government.   The once seaworthy “ship of state” needs some real dry dock repair removing the unnecessary and obliterating the corrupt and deceitful ideologies.  Pray for our land and its inhabitants.

DC has become the HQ of the anti-America alternate shadow government, worshiping a god different than that of the Jews & Christians.   This can change if we are patient and seek justice.

Do you love your God, Church and Nation completely?  Nathan Hale, on Sept 22, 1776, saw into the future, with a hope that the 13 colonies united as ‘one out of many’ states was valuable enough to die for; he had spied on the British for the Colonies at our infancy and paid the ultimate price for patriotism: love of God, country and friends & family, that led to his ignominious hanging ’til death.   Similarly, down through Biblical history, men and woman of faith have worked, many died for a future promise and covenant.  Think of Moses, Joshua, Daniel, Virgin Mary…the list continues.  Allow me to direct you to Hebrews chapter 11, for the “by faith…” verses:

Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.  Because of it the ancients were well attested. By faith we understand that the universe was ordered by the word of God,* so that what is visible came into being through the invisible.Verse 4 and on: “by faith, Abel…  by faith, Enoch…   verse 7: “by faith, Noah…   verse 8: “by faith, Abraham… and on to more excellent understanding how people who preceded us found and followed God.

Do you have a $2 bill?  Pull it out, turn it over and discover 53 men who pledged their families, fortunes and very lives, which all of them did give up in time, that almost a quarter of a millennium later, in 2025, we can reflect and discern what is best to follow our Creator and build up His providentially blessed land between two oceans, seeking the Pacific/Peace that passes all understanding.

That July 4, 1776 signing came with a tremendous price, something our thoroughly undereducated and easily groomed Harvard Hamas mouthpieces are cluelessly ignorant of.  Another mountain for us to conquer: the return to law and order, common sense, love for ACTUAL truth, facts, good science…there is  SO MUCH to DO to repair our land, devastated not by Russian or Chinese missiles to supplement the Chinese national men  that have been illegally invading us since Jan  20, 2021, but destroyed little by little.

It CAN be repaired IF we have the boldness and fearlessness to carry out a noble mission. You may have heard the quote for God to “heal our land”; you may not know it  is at the tale end of wise King Solomon’s temple building project and worth a read:

“On the twenty-third day of the seventh month…

Solomon dismissed the people to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart because of all the blessings the LORD had given to David, to Solomon, and to his people Israel.
11 Solomon finished building the house of the LORD, the house of the king, and everything else he wanted to do in regard to the house of the LORD and his own house.

God’s Promise to Solomon.

12The LORD appeared to Solomon during the night and said to him: I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for my house of sacrifice.
13If I close heaven so that there is no rain, if I command the locust to devour the land, if I send pestilence among my people,
14 if then my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and heal their land.

A question many have asked: did God redirect the bullet from the sad shooter that 13th day of July?  Did God answer prayers of people devastated by anti-American, another “shadow country” nominally called the Obamanation of Desolators, and use His power to help America back from the precipice? A question that gets an early answer in the year of Jubilee, that leads to our 250th anniversary year the following ’26

Retelling Hale’s story depended on a British soldier, Captain Montresor to relay the story to our American Captain Hull. But, quo vadis, America, it is important to read as we mull what is next come Jubilee ’25.

“On the morning of his execution,” continued the officer, “my station was near the fatal spot, and I requested the Provost Marshal [William Cunningham] to permit the prisoner to sit in my marquee, while he was making the necessary preparations. Captain Hale entered: he was calm, and bore himself with gentle dignity, in the consciousness of rectitude and high intentions. He asked for writing materials, which I furnished him: he wrote two letters, one to his mother and one to a brother officer. He was shortly after summoned to the gallows. But a few persons were around him, yet his characteristic dying words were remembered. He said,

“I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country.”

Do you? Do you have one life to offer to Christ and His Church? Are we willing to be fearless and boldly follow God’s, not our, imperfect wills? Are you willing to ‘change up your game’ to follow His Will?

2025, a jubilee year, should hopefully show some signs the intense deceit, corruption and evil of the recent 4 years, following the previous four where the president was oppressed by evil forces, under the Obamanation continuum.  The characters include Barry Soetoro, Joe, Kamala, chief liar now Senator Adam Schiff etc. and there’s hope the decepticons are stalled for at least until 2028 IF the true American lovers, on both sides of the proverbial political aisle, see the need to humbly correct these seemingly insurmountable wrongs.  With God, ALL things are possible.

It is written in the stars, in the Scriptures, in the Gospels, in  the various forms of government that mankind experiences.  Look to the King of kings; the last Sundays of the liturgical year, echo what lies ahead and there is commonality to report. Daniel’s parade of the empires, where he maps out actual history and the kingdoms, taken from King Nebuchnezzar’s statue dream in chapter 2

“In your vision, O king, you saw a statue, very large and exceedingly bright, terrifying in appearance as it stood before you.32Its head was pure gold, its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs bronze,33its legs iron, its feet partly iron and partly clay.34While you watched, a stone was hewn from a mountain without a hand being put to it, and it struck its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces.35The iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold all crumbled at once, fine as the chaff on the threshing floor in summer, and the wind blew them away without leaving a trace.
But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Inspired by God, Daniel interprets it as the contemporaneous Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, Roman & a mixture of Greco-Roman until the stone “hewn…without a hand  being put to it” wins out in the future, our future.  Quick sidenote, the proper understanding of the Shroud of Turin was NOT a medallion (around St Jude Thaddeus’ neck) but the Mandylion: “the image NOT made with human hands” We know as Jesus the Christ, the Father’s Eucharistic Miracle Son.

The major kingdom, around 2900bc & following, is Egypt.  For example, in Isaiah 19:1, the oracle of Egypt states:

“See, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud on his way to Egypt; the idols of Egypt tremble before him, the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.”  Presumably this refers to the future, in which Jesus returns and involves Egypt along the airways. Conjecture, do these Egyptian idols include the massive though inferior copies of the great Pyra-midos of Giza fame, the Father’s perfect Eucharist Son monument until the 1303ad earthquake loosened the cover/casing stones?   ALL 117 of them an ex-Pharaoh king’s monument to their individual reigns?   Think and research about it.   

For a heart to MELT within them, the idols have to be organic in nature, one would propose.

The golden calf was not like a pinata, hollow but with organs inside.

 

Yet, we know how God reacts when humans call themselves gods.  What is more blasphemous than the 100+ pharoahs (except the one Moses confronted who almost learned a lesson) each who claimed being god, who shook their fists at the Creator-Son God, claiming immortality like the 25,000 year old Sumerian king? 

I’m still holding out for the ancients could count years and record them before DNA tracking ancestry23.  Note the royal exaggeration countered by Genesis’ specific age geneologies. (I’d like to have a conversation with Scott Hahn and Trent Horn on this, whom I respect for their wisdom but like Fr Mike Schmidt, miss the point: not everything is allegorical in the Bible)

Look how Mary operates while on earth and from heaven. 

Of interest, Our Lady of the Light/Zeitoun, the most viewed Marian apparition ever’s site began April 2, 1968 in Zeitoun, Cairo, Egypt.  She appeared, not in the clouds, but for years over St Mary Major Coptic Church, witnessed by millions. Tradition tells us the Muslim property owner built Mary’s church instead of a hotel, due to Mary’s request in 1920 just 3 years after Fatima.   When God’s mom asks…

While we are at  it, in Tenochtitlan ie Mexico City, Mary requested another holy church be built on the spot of her appearance as Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. As Fr Al Baca pointed out, Mary was the real Nahuatl/Aztec mother God, putting to rest, like in Portugal, the idea that Muhammad’s daughter, Fatima as well as the indigenous Aztec’s perception of God’s mother were the most revered woman on earth.  God Father required the truth, to refocus on the same lady who bilocated to St James in AD40 in Zaragoza Spain when James the Greater had difficulty getting the message (of Christ and the Good News) across to the locals.  Back in Mexico, when the Franciscans began their ministry from the True Cross landing(Vera Cruz), they had baptized about 175,000 in those first 10 years.  Once, Mary appeared in the Aztec prophecy costume, the Tilma, 10million soon joined the Catholic faith and anchored Catholicism notable even today as it was exported north to the USA.   Mary’s ‘frequent flyer’ account increases in times of trouble, wars for example, as well as to warn her beloved humans of upcoming events that can be remedied with prayer, repentence and sacrifice.  Ever heard of Russia?

Recall, Godly people, that Jesus the Lord was heralded on Palm Sunday as King; yet, within just 8 days, He had fulfilled the Father’s destiny to leave His Son to the Church in perpetuity via the new Passover/Last Supper, inaugurating our opportunity to daily receive the Eucharistic Son of Man.

Following the new Passover/last supper, Jesus died the most terrible death that Friday the 13th day of Abib(Hebrew) and then came days later, the First Glorious Mystery, the Resurrection.  And what a Glorious event it was!   Interesting, like all of us, Trump is a sinner, but his brush with death was a Saturday, the 13th of July, that God allowed.  The much maligned, false witnessed Trump (yes he has sinned…do you feel better I told you this?)now believes his mission is to restore the good of America for the vulnerable.  Back to Jesus…

40 days later, on Ascension Thursday, Jesus went vertical and left this earth up and through the clouds; He did not “ride” them as Isaiah 19:1 states for a later time. 

Are you a betting Catholic?  I believe over time, it will be evident to us modern Catholics, that the Father (had) built a monument, a marker, an altar, a beacon and a directional finder to His Eucharistic Son, AS King of Glory and declaring His Eucharistic nature.  In a little town known as Bethlehem-Epathrah, just as David hailed from, and Rachel was buried.

But, King He is.  When you visit St Michael’s Abbey in SoCal, the words on the beautiful new sanctuary crucifix “Rex Gloria” can be easily read, located below the Queen (Mother) of Heaven, the crowned Regina Coeli and the famous Christ Pantocrator icon in mosaic.

Always remember, God leaves NOTHING to chance; for example, there is no chance God needed nor allowed billions of years of a slow simmer of primordial human cells in a giant evolutionary caldron, hoping by some process of selected mutations, only to yield a 50 to 70 trillion celled being named “Adam”. The first earthly king.  Ask our Canadian Cale.

But God saved the best for last: the most perfect creation followed, Adam’s perfect complement, to be the First Eve through which billions of this singular ONE human race would flow.  A queen, though fallen by snake and apple, that gave birth to a whole new world.

God CREATED them; we mock God when we follow the atheistic evolutionists, translated as “godless change/trans”.  Where’d the need for billions of years come from?  Bible?  Nope. Wise science. Nada. 

It came from theories of how God needed our help to evolve the simplest singular cells bumping together to finally create man and woman.   What silliness that we in the Church need to challenge and clarify; this pseudoscience contributes to humans straying from the eternal Creator and Sustainer.  It’s just as silly believing blacks, Mexicans, teenagers, Relevant Radio employees, Chinese nationals, Polish daughters each come from separate human races.  We fail as a good Catholic witness by not emphasizing there are not different “first couples”, like a Lithuanian first couple, a black or anglo first human couple.  Not only is it silly and ignorance to preach this, it is counter to God’s plan.  He was okay by creating billions of ants and roaches etc. but He had a defined plan for His beloved human race’s physicality and eternal destination.

If I told you the truth, would you believe me?  Evolution is real, to a point; ie rapid methodical change, occurs in various labs around the world where one single cell, nurtured in a nutrient solution in organic labs, yield a fully functioning being most miraculously…rudimentary but showing signs of life.   It’s accelerated occurrence belies the billions of claimed mutative years.

These scientists then have the noble task of naming their work product, as is common in scientific circles.   The names vary: Susie if its a girl, Joshua if its a boy.  The scientists? Married or unmarried parents yielding after 40 weeks a formerly prebirth preborn child, no longer foetus but now a born baby. We are not talking bizarre, like embryonic recapitulation, mutation or other debunked evolutionary theories:  we are talking the eternal plan of a loving God.

Similarly, we in the Church have not fought hard enough for God’s righteous omnipotence as we should. It’s not just in biology, what about atmospheric physics?

Otherwise, how can the Church’s smart people lap up the ridiculous idea that ONE carbon dioxide molecule out of 2500 air molecules, sampled worldwide is enough to destroy, to overheat the earth to its destruction? The Church, keeper of centuries of priest-inventors, discoverers’ discoveries, has fallen on the sword of left lunatic ideologies

The Radiative Atmospheric earth? This prevalent pseudoscience is silly and mocks the eternal all powerful chief Engineer, Designer and maker of His 553 sextillion mile wide universe, making Him out to being a sous-chef merely combining parts of this and a dab of that and voila! we have the First Eve. Note, anyone can see, Galileo proved what God told Abraham thousands of years before: the stars of the sky (NOT 1000) matched the seashore sands’ quantity, on the same order of magnitude.  It just took to 17th century for humanity to catch up to the Chief Astronomer with Galileo’s new and improved eye on the heavens, his telescope.

The new Jerusalem King was not unheralded. His coming, beyond the Father’s monument near Cairo, was broadcast:

In Numbers: the oracle of Balaam, son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is true:
“I see him, though not now;I observe him, though not near:A star shall advance from Jacob,

& a scepter shall rise from Israel,That will crush the brows of Moab and the skull of all the Sethites..

From Micah the prophet: 

“But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, least among the clans of Judah,From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.”

Ephrathah is no mere word; referenced to the tomb of Rachel, it also focuses us on the city that Giza points directly to:

The biblical meaning of Ephratah encourages believers to have faith in God’s promises and trust in His divine plan. It reminds us that even when circumstances seem insignificant or challenging, God can bring forth great blessings and fulfill His purposes.

“Just as Bethlehem Ephrathah became the birthplace of the Messiah, we are called to be receptive to God’s work in our lives. We should align our hearts and minds with His will, allowing Him to bring forth new beginnings, transformations, and spiritual growth.(hat tip to johnbaptistchurch.org)” 

Back to the clouds, the monument description in Isaiah 19:19-20 actually supports and fortifies Daniel, another Liturgical year end reading:

In Daniel’s prophetic vision sequence (In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, as Daniel lay in bed he had a dream, visions in his head…), he relates:

As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man.*

When he reached the Ancient of Days and was presented before him, 14He received dominion, splendor, and kingship; all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, His kingship, one that shall not be destroyed.”

Clouds again show up in St John’s visions, in Revelations:

 “..from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us* from our sins by his blood,
6who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever [and ever]. Amen.”

7Behold, He is coming amid the cloudsand every eye will see him,  even those who pierced him. All the peoples of the earth will lament him.  Yes. Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,”* says the Lord God, “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.

Then the gospel on Christ the King Sunday, that of Pilate and Jesus’ dialogue re: that historic question by the representative of the emperor/generalissimo, Pontius Pilate: “Are You the King of  the Jews?

Note that Canada’s healthy Cale calls Adam the first king, as tiller of the garden, priest in praising his Creator and exercising dominion over the animals, in the Garden for a time… and with his 1st queen Eve.
 
This first king fell from grace in the perfect garden, as so many of his descendants who became earthly kings do. One look at Daniel2, singles out the greatest and the Progression of the kingdoms
 

  Can we Americans do better the next decades? 

 
Are we on the way down or on the way to re-thriving, growing up, putting aside pseudo criticisms and bearing false witness? Are we facing a renewed blessed land? 
 
Did God intercede among the earthly kingdoms over time?  Also, did providence protect President Trump from the assassin’s bullet that July 13th and did the Father will his life to continue to lead our land, these United States, after 4 years of purgatorial hell by the godless?   Any one who champions killing the descendants of Adam&Eve (NOT Schiffties) of yore and Noah’s kids of the flood serve only satan, hell’s prince of darkness.  No matter how often Kamala said “reproductive abortion” in a paragraph.
 
No better proof of God’s interventionism than back to 605bc and the greatest empire, per the prophet Daniel, regarding King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
 
In Daniel 2, called the greatest empire and the greatest king on earth except for the everLASTing kingdom, well into the future:

“In the second year (Septuagint says 12th) of his reign, King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which left his spirit no rest and robbed him of his sleep…”

 
Next King NebZ put his “wise” guys to the test “So he ordered that the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans (astrologers) be summoned to interpret the dream for him…”
 
Dan2 continues:
 
 
Other kings of fame and historical note:
King Solomon, the son of King David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king of Israel; he reigned from 970-931BC.  He was chosen to build the Father’s temple and sought wisdom over the world’s riches and received both.   His temple’s foundation stones weighed hundreds of tons; destroyed by King NebZ and the destruction of t, even as the remnant after 70ad’s destruction
 
Egypt’s Great King Menelaus united upper and lower Egypt, which helps make Isaiah 19:19-20’s description of the ravaged 2.3 million block Border Fire in the Middle (translation of Giza Pyramidos) make sense as a Catholic icon.  Especially, when  applied to where the Holy Family fled king Herod for a couple years in a Jewish settlement that hailed back to Alexander the Great in Cairo near Zeitoun.
 
King George III who was not a fan of the Revolution in 1776;  the Good King Wenceslaus, the list is long.
 
So, you have through the ages, going back to Genesis, oral, written, monumental and symbolized truth about the Center of the World, the Center of the Universe, the King of Kings who will reign forever and beyond.
 
Salvation history is mapped in many ways, in the stars’ constellations and the inspired mind.  Daniel, the prophet of the kingdoms visions, John in his contemporaneous and future visions as well, and even in Jesus’ last words about His time on earth.
 
Not to mention, the perfect model for the Egyptian kings edifices to themselves, we know as Giza that points to the Father’s Eternal Eucharistic Son, the King of  all ages, nations etc.   Really, Giza a Catholic icon?
 
God uses more than papyrus to share His Word; symbols, objects, even His beloved Mother are put into play to reach all humans, whom Drew talks of often, Our Lady of Pilar, Mary’s first frequent flight apparition to St James in Spain in 40ad.  The Cathedral of our Lady of the Pillar had an earlier name: Santa Maria Mayor or St. Mary Major.  One huge Godincidence is the church the Muslim land owner built instead of a hotel in Cairo/Zeitoun, where Mary appeared seeking Peace post war 4/2/1968 onward, has the same name, the first one given the cathedral from Mary’s first appearance, while alive, helping St James the Greater.
 
What has the 40ad and 1968 apparitions have in common: Mary the Queen of Heaven.   St. Mary Major Coptic Church in Zeitoun,Cairo, Egypt…and Zaragoza’s Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar happened miraculously.
 
From Wiki:  “…with James the Greater evangelizing in Roman Hispania (modern-day Spain). He confronted great difficulties in his missionary efforts and faced severe discouragement. In AD 40, while he was praying by the banks of the Ebro at Caesaraugusta (Zaragoza), Mary bilocated from Jerusalem, where she was living at the time, and appeared to James, accompanied by thousands of angels, to console and encourage him.
 
Of further interest:“The feast day of 12 October was officially introduced by the Council of Zaragoza in 1640.

According to the account by María de Ágreda (d. 1665) in her Mystical City of God, Mary, mother of Jesus, was transported from Jerusalem to Hispania during the night, on a cloud carried by angels. During the journey, the angels also built a pillar of marble, and a miniature image of Mary with the Child Jesus.”

Busy angels…Mary’s frequent flyer miles started early, certainly earlier than I envisioned.

But what of the King of kings, the Eucharistic Lord pointed to by His Father who “gifted” Him from all eternity.

 

As it looked 700 years ago…

Giza, I believe, actually is the King of King’s royal roadmap and testimony in permanence, anchored at the center of the world.  Made of giant stone blocks, it is the world’s largest monument, designed I believe by the Father, that serves many purposes, some of whom have been forgotten and not uncovered.  Well, not as of today.  Fr. Baca said a wise bit on a recent broadcast re: the new digital copies of the Tilma, when few opthamologists existed in the 16th century to discover the miraculous Marian eyes on the OLGuadalupe image.

He pointed out that God reveals different things, often miraculously, at different times.  Like the Father’s Eucharistic Son’s monument, though built in 2623BC and deployed as of 2141 BC, the concave nature of the 4 sides that match the curvature of the earth wasn’t discovered until 80 years ago.  AND other miracle aspects.

But, not Jesus’ body nor any other king ever rested in the first and most perfect fire in the middle or pyra-midos/pyramid; over time, Giza was copied by 117 other Egyptian mortuary companies/employees, turning out royal-divine burial monuments in Egypt that DID entomb, each, an embalmed mummified king of Egypt who claimed to be gods.

NOT Giza!  No body, only a coffer that matches the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant, plus so many symbols and factors that…

270 miles from Giza to Bethlehem (26 degrees+) along the blue line. Picture from GoogleEarthing travel from Giza to Bethlehem.  Yes YOU can do the same thing on your computer.  Ask a smart teen.

make it an altar, a pillar of fire, located at both the boundary and in the middle of Egypt, points directly to where the eternal King was born.  Oh, minor point, AT THE EXACT CENTER OF THE WORLD.

It is a prophetic device, and the shortest distance, 270 miles back from the House of Bread of Life, Bethlehem, to where Joseph protected the new King with His mother, who I believe revisited for three years beginning April 2, 1968 at St Mary Major (48 years after it was built per her request) as the 6 day war against God’s chosen land, Israel ended.   

Giza, though neglected and sand whipped, while missing most of its 144,000 bright and brilliant cover/casing  stones, it still is a silent sentinel to the Savior, His Father’s proud Eucharistic Gift, and points to the end of all things earth and heaven. 

 Someday our Church will embrace such…I believe

What has this to do with a jubilant America?  A land that God and His mother loves…

 Politics aside, the radical left that include Kamala and Obama represent evil at its worse.
 
Stalin once said “a single death is a tragedy, a million dead is a statistic.”   What about 66,000,000?
 
66 million dead prebirth kids is NOT enough to satisfy the sadistic blood thirsty coven of death mongers; mocking God trying to recreate women as men, making them suicidal when she realizes she will never be able to nurse the baby she will never bring into the world. These represent what is wrong with our federated republic; recall, when asked of Ben Franklin at our infancy: “What type of government do we now have?”
 
Kiteflying Ben’s answer is relevant today: “A republic, if we can keep it!”   We came very close these last years to losing our Constitutional Republic…closer than most Americans really understand and the Damocrat Left will ever admit.
 
Americans woke up Nov 5, 2024 or maybe less fake ballots made it to registrar of voters across America as in Nov 2020. Point is, either way, the hell unleashed over the  1461 days we Catholics (yes, we helped get nominal Catholic Joe in the oval office) empowered the Obamanation of Desolators, starting Jan 20, 2021 until adults return Jan 20, 2025; it will take years, maybe a generation to repair.
 
  Yes, I know we have evil and corrupt people among the cititzenry…not just in the minority of the Democrats, the Damocrat leaders who’ve destroyed our families, families who struggle because of hyperinflation, lack of school choice while property tax dollars are extorted especially in Calif., 20 million illegals including a million primary criminal terrorists, sleepers, murderers etc.  I know,the other “parties” have their bad boys and girls, too.

But tallying up the cost of the last regime is daunting and a bloody invoice must be sent to the Obamanation and DNC once tabulated; but, let us begin with what is right about America and the world.

We are living on borrowed time; the end times could go another millennium or call it quits next Jubilee year.  Only the Father knows and possibly the Eucharistic Son.   Either way, we must prioritize doing the will of the Father one day at a time.  For a start:
 
1)  Witness to everyone we encounter; there’s little left to chance, ie good and evil are polarizing and distinct. Everyone deserves a shot at eternity and eternal happiness.  Moving Forward: Vatican releases Logo for Jubilee Year 2025
2)  Jubilee was to recognize that by tradition all property belongs to God, not the individual Jew. For the Jew, returning of possessions to God was/is a religious vow or dedication.

“In Roman Catholic tradition, a Jubilee is a year of penance instituted every 50 or 25 years.”   Jubilee 2025 is 25 years since the main doors of St Peter’s were thrown open:  “Open Wide the Doors to Christ” at the time.

As Pope Francis has declared, we are Pilgrims of Hope looking to a year of reconciliation, preparation and repair. In America, we especially need it.

It won’t be easy but fruitful. Ending of the Obamanation instigated wars, repairing of families struggling to stay out of bankruptcy, delivering thousands of terrorists like Laken Riley’s illegal killer to their just destinations and rewards…so much to do, so little time.

Finally, the most amazing Bishop Sheen’s remains rest at another Marian church, St Mary’s in Peoria, Illinois, transferred from St Patrick’s in NYC. His niece at 94 won the protracted battle for his bones.  Thank you, Relevant Radio and EWTN ancestor of the last century, Bishop Saint Fulton Sheen.

Oh, and thank you to your chalkboard angel, who worked so hard those years on the air while the Peoria resident Bishop Saint Fulton Sheen spoke grace and wisdom before social media, the PC, smart phones came on the scene.  When he was asked “how long do you prepare your sermons?”  His simple answer: “these last 25 years.”

King David, though an adulterer and murderer, was a great archetype of priest and worshiper.  He was a man, a king “after God’s own heart”.   His offspring, the incredibly wise king Solomon, the exorcist par excellence, built a fated temple with foundation stones hundreds of tons in weight; the rest, like all earthly kingdoms as Daniel prophesied, Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greco-Roman, Eqyptian become ruins and dust.  God knew, for all eternity, the procession of kingdoms and their kings.  But, a good case can be made, Trump was protected supernaturally and he changed as humans can do, with a boldness and fearlessness we Catholics MUST emulate.

He believes God DID alter the bullet’s path by his cranial twist to see the immigration graphic in Penn on a Jesus and Fatima numbered date July 13, 2024; no different that a 12 year old’s miraculous medal altered Muslim Agca’s bullet’s trajectory when the pope looked down on May 13, 1981.

Trump shouted Fight Fight and became even more focused on helping America come back from the brink from the invading shadow country, I call the Obamanation d’ Desolators that is HQed on Belmont Ave in the Kalorama district of DC, 2 miles to the “president who is NOT a king’s residence” at 1600 Penn Ave.

Will America rise from the destruction of the Obamanation of Desolators?  Time will tell. But WE the Church must occupy until the Son of David, Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, flies in on the clouds, over Egypt, maybe Cairo to the new Jerusalem. Or Bethlehem, the House of Bread of Life?   Time alone will tell.

In Salvation History, when Jesus picked his 12 Apostles, He paralleled governmental order, similar to the Israeli 12 tribes.  He “restarted” the eternal kingdom on terra firma, 270 miles from His Father’s monument and marker mentioned in Isaiah 19.

Like His kingdom on earth, Americans who follow the King are subject to enemies, both supernatural and earthly.   Are we up for the task?   2025 is here.  Let us do righteousness, share love, help others and put the needs of our neighbors ahead of our own.  Never forget:  our main battles are with principalities and powers of darkness, not the sad human examples like Obama, Kamala and other unmentioned slaves to hell and its leader, the father of lies.

Yet, but renewing this land, maybe an American renaissance can occur in parallel with the Reviving Renaissance of the Real Present Eucharistic Lord signaled by the National Eucharistic Congress 4 days after Trump experienced attempted assassination.

You may know, the only time the Kingdom of God is mentioned in the Old Testament is the Kingdom of David. And the last righteous King, his descendant, the eternal fruit of the Holy Spirit through Mary, will return.

With regard to America’s near term future, recall this scripture and speculate the Trump turn of his head also involves a turning of his heart to his God.  He truly believes he has a mission from God, though millions still will not forgive him for doing what other human Americans have done: sinned.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

IF we repent, worship the God of eternity, seek His Divine Mercy, then the country and its people can prosper and thrive.  Until then, we MUST do good to others, whether friend, family or enemy; Random Acts of Catholic Kindness or RACKs can change the world. They already do!

God will NOT ask which political party you signed up for.  He will ask what you did for the least of our brothers and sisters.

The Messianic Banquet was the Thanksgiving Eucharistic sacrifice a few millennia ago.   So, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Eucharist!!   Celebrate the blessings and pray for the boldness and fearlessness we need to make the future brighter after these years of darkness. Pray often!   If you will, pray for me and I will pray for you

Scrubs, a stethoscope and All-American Kill Mills

November 19, 2024   Monthly date anniversary of St Joseph.

revised 11/21   11/26

It’s fascinating how modern Americans and wide worlders, make assumptions and judgements based on first sightings; and often, what someone wears can give others an idea and help open a discussion of life and death. Trying to “perfect” my imperfect prolife work, I tried a different outfit/costume.

After a mild heart attack on St Michaels feast day Sept 29th, I got back to business a few Saturdays later.

Since I believe roses have the power to facilitate change in women facing horrible as well as good decisions, I tried Amazon scrubs and a stethoscope at the Planned Parenthood hellhole on Tustin at the 22 fwy one November weekend.

…And will continue to do so when privileged to stand up for women being exploited to kill off the next generation. After all, this dying world is well below replacement level, with birthrates so low 50 countries face extinction within a generation.

Importing 20 million illegal border crashers, walking the river or flying in from abroad by Mayorcasitis, doesn’t solve the problem; it just moves existing humans around; whether they are hard workers, sleeper cell terrorists or gangbangers, peaceful, the fate of the human race remains the same: perilous.  Ask Linken Riley’s family if they prefer a predator illegal Venezuelan gangster chasing down someone else’s daughter

At Planned Parenthood, often, maybe half the drivers of cars carrying victimized women (girls and moms) stop their car to get a rose and information sheet; that Saturday, dressed for med success,  over an hour time period, 6 of 7 cars with “patients” stopped and talked and took information with the free rose I handed them.

Meanwhile, another young lady walked over to talk about her “friend”.who just found out she was pregnant to discuss; I gave her two roses, one for her and the other for her confused friend with information to keep her child.

Apparently, ladies will stop for fake doctors holding out a rose; at least unlike the fake doctor impersonators inside the kill mill, I have never killed a preborn baby ready to see daylight. Hopefully, neither have you!  In fact, I have never got a two or threefer, killing twins AND the mom.

Some good news, tho California is still counting manufactured votes and Pennsylvania tabulating illegals’ illegal ballots, Americans just voted out the abortophiliac lady from hell (please pray for Kamala and ex PP prez Cecile Richards whose at death’s door: no one needs hell 4ever!) whose every other word was abortion disguised of course like “reproductive” rights, female right2choose (I guess gender only matters when killing a living kid) and other deceitful monikers.

Prolife Catholics and other lovers of life: it’s critical time we “improve our serve”; it’s great we have sidewalk prayer warriors, and every lady deserves a rose every day, a cure for much in the USA, praying hard. But let’s help the percentage of “saves” increase as much as possible.  EVERY life is precious and every aborted future kinder is a tragedy.  Frankly, the ONLY way to reverse the no child left inside, depopulation loons is having kids (sometimes called ‘foetus’ Latin for “living  thing”) by any name.  ONE by ONE!

But, we MUST use Christlike eyes to assess each situation at the kill mills, in every city across this blessed land. Change tactics by self-assessment and dialoguing with other sidewalk soldiers of love.

Don’t WASTE opportunities to one on one a woman facing the worst decision of her life.  Not all kill mills have easy access, especially with hell’s favorite kill law, the FACES act. Richard Houk, ladies Lauren and Joan can testify on this.   From INSIDE and OUTSIDE prison.

Become fearless and bold now that the weather vane has shifted 180 degrees, at least for the next two to four; maybe 12 years. The Dept. of INJustice could be remedied.

Yet, our friends, St Joan and Lauren Handy remain in prison for giving women roses, a practice I’ve practiced for decades for good reasons.   NOT to improve garden nursery bottom lines, at least the flower kind.  But for the more complex sex to understand how special she is.

Hopefully, Lauren, whom I worked with at a Survivors training camp, won’t serve all 60 months in Tallahassee fed lock up for rose giving.   She converted to Catholicism shortly after that camp and continues to be bold and fearless in defending women and their at risk kids; she discovered over 100 dead kids at a garbage dump because she’s as much walk as talk, arranged for their sanctified dignified burial.   Aren’t we soooo good at the talk, people, bishops, priests and lay? the WALK so often, not so much

Irony of irony, the closest I have come to being arrested was not outside a PP kill mill, though the fake doctor “med” director routinely bothers Orange police with their ankle biter claims prolifers are evil.  They lie like a blood soaked shag rug drenched in fetal fluids on their reproductive operations floor.

No, it was at an excellent Catholic event summer of 2024.  it was one Friday July 19th, four months ago to the day of this writing, when the National Eucharistic Congress leadership requested me be kicked out by the Lucas Oil Stadium football bouncers as if I was a third quarter drunk.   Well, every week but week 14 of course.

My evil crime?  I gave a bunch of ruby red roses to a pro life colleague Lila Rose the night before, that a staffer picked up within 10 seconds. That’s right up there with robbery and extortion, I guess.  A woman getting a thorny rose?

Apparently the high tech super advanced facial recognition, person of interest, eagle eyed security hard&software of Bishop Cozzens and Jason Shanks saw the rose toss; imagine giving roses to a Rose!.

More to the story: but giving a grieving armless guitarist saint in the making, my friend and brother Tony Melendez, a permitted hug the Friday following, for 17 seconds  was the “last straw” apparently to the “holier than thou” well choreographed leadership in Indianapolis.  Wedding planners make great  organizers, but sometimes all the details need to be worked out before prime time…

Once I got back to my end zone seat, within minutes I was perp walked to their security room.  I won’t bother you with the 17 minute audio recording I happen to have, due to the “surprise”, but the interrogation commenced with “What were you thinking, partner?”

Billy stumped me because I didn’t bring my copy of “1984”; his stern comment was a little mystifying:

“If we hadn’t given you permission (to hug Tony), we would have tackled you on stage…”

Read that three  times while rubbing your tummy and patting your head simultaneously. Maybe I neededThe First Marian Apparition in Church History: Our Lady of the Pillar ... to read the minds hidden in the control booth somewhere in the Colts stadium?  But I’m no prophet nor the son of a prophet; and unlike Cupertino Joe I don’t fly nor bi-locate like Zaragoza’s Our Lady of Pilar or St Padre Pio.  Just your typical 72 yr old.

If the NEC staffer at the steps said “No!”, I would have returned to my seat with Mary after telling the Sisters of Charity  I’d give Tony a hug, it was a  ‘no go’!

Billy and Jason:  If NEC hadn’t said it was ok to take 17 seconds, answer Tony’s “I can’t hug you” with a hug, 20 appropriate words and an invitation to the 30K to applaud, we would send our goons to take you down; thankfully, they didn’t because my ‘widowmaker’ left aortic blockage heart attack was operational at the ready but did not lead to death or at least hospital time in Indianapolis for this 72 year old faithful Catholic stemming from a Catholic conference. Why? they didn’t practice football scrimmages on stage.

I have yet to get a phone call, even an email, from someone at NEC, so busy with nine years out’s 2033 events;  I did get a package labeled “undeliverable” five weeks after mailing it august 27th.

I have tried four times over four months (nothing from Cozzens’ crew etc.)  to get the resulting interrogation copy promised by the NEC top brass through their site security manager (identified to me as the “chief of police”) Billy Ingalls;  zip zero nada response by all levels, except a kind notice from Bishop Tim Freyer when I debriefed my thoughts on next NEC’s registration policies including an Ambassador of the Ailing, to help the disabled, wheelchaired, walkered blind class as a priority.  You see, I was not angry since I am used to irregularities sometimes like this; just and still mystified it takes now 4 months to keep their promise.

I personally believe the NEC is part, but not the whole driver, of the new Renaissance of the Father’s Love for His Eucharistic Son. This re-discovery is so needed,  after years of “unforced errors”, our responses to the Mao Tse Xi’s and Dr Pfaucinstein’s takedown of our American religious freedoms.  That rediscovery when 71% of Catholics don’t believe in Jesus’ real presence in the Center of our World, the Center of our Worship is coming.  The Father signaled this understanding of His Son’s future real presence in the Eucharist in Isaiah 19 and a monument 4600 years ago.

In that, the NEC excelled in lighting fires under 68,000 engaged faithful.  But, fingering without explanation, threatening with arrest a full price ticket paying California dad of 11, 22 grandkids, lifelong Catholic former staffer over 3 decades as youth director, DRE, FFDir etc at 3 parishes including Holy Family Cathedral; a Catholic apologist and published author who hates evil, especially killing innocent kids at kid kill mills to the tune of  20% of the actual US population, well over 60 million… so far.

Well, at least the half I witnessed with my beautiful wife and stepmom, Mary before banishment, was excellent;  I could have made a “scene” with the football cops, but I expected an NEC staffer to hear “my side” of the rest of the story, but nothing, no one came. Repeated emails to Sarah Houde went unanswered;  even my package to the security chief of chiefs, NECs Steve Garcia was returned undeliverable.  It’s almost as if, once the NEC closed up shop, no one available to do the work, keep the promises made by them during July.   It’s as if they don’t exist but to sell “merch” for the next NEC and sell out the leftovers from Lucas Oil stadium and exhibit center.

I did not fear jail time, but where was my Church?  The threat to arrest me for trespass was real IF I didn’t let them march me out to the curb.  Being banned from the city of Indiana through sunday night meant no more worship time, daily Mass, Relevant Family Rosaries, the Eucharist procession, even visit with 20 or more colleagues from decades of involvement with fellow Catholics.

I complied thinking there was at least one mature member of the NEC leadership who could be counted on to make this right, make contact and save the last two days for two California travelers.   Tony was mystified when he texted me later that Friday but I didn’t tell him at the time my “treatment”.

Lila Rose never got her roses, which I found out at a pro life rally at the kill mill on Tustin at 22fwy Orange when I asked her; she said “Len, I didn’t get them”.  Thankfully, I had two roses left after giving the others out to the 200+ warriors; I gave her one, but it wasn’t the same as the bunch from July 18.

Those 11 had a note, basically from her awesome husband, Joe, stating this was my third and last rose gift to this great Catholic pro life leader, now a devoted mom.

As history unfolded, this was the day before my mild St Michael’s feast day heart attack, which I saw as a blessing because it didn’t happen on Christmas day; my 11 kids found out their mom Donna, one Christmas day 2010, had fourth stage cancer, so it leaves a bad taste in some of their hearts; last thing they needed is their dad to have a medical emergency on Jesus’ birthday again, to remind them of their birth mom’s illness.

Also, I thought, the untimely attack wouldn’t have happened three days later, on Dec 28th, as my mariposa #10Faustina was marrying an amazing #1 son Elijah said their Catholic wedding vows on that prolific prolife remembrance day, Dec 28th known as Holy Innocents.  What a glorious day this should be!  But if Bishop Cozzens’ security goons had put me in the hospital or triggered the previously unknown heart attack, Faustina would still have her stepmom Mary to walk her down the St John the Baptist Catholic Church aisle on the date proximate to Elijah’s mom’s grandparents, 50th anniversary.  Birth mom, birth dad gone.

Truthfully, I seek not victimhood just justice and acknowledgement there is at least one honorable leader in the NEC neo-canonical movement.  The world is centered on Jesus OF the Eucharist, not them but great good came out of 200 bishops, thousands of priests and 68,000 participants (minus two half timers).  I finally did give Fr Mike Schmidt a $2 bill, thanking him at the LA prayer breakfast for his efforts, when I finally could meet him.  Man, he talks fast and yes Trent ‘death cookie’ Horn, his cheekbones are distinct!

Yet, I am still missing the promised interrogation record since I do don another costume at year’s end, where security and safe environs review is mandatory: St Nicholaus of Myra turkey, the 4th century bishop. Santa must be clean.

If Indianapolis police filed a trespass report requested by the NEC for hugging a friend, permission granted, and tossing roses to a great Rose named Lila, stolen roses thrown out apparently, I need to know.

I respect law enforcement, but don’t carry a paperback “1984”the goons didn’t tackle me yet they interrogated claiming NEC ‘wanted me gone’.  17 seconds hug.  17 seconds of ministering to pregnant women exiting planned parenthood’s key kill mill in the county of Orange. Both have/had import.

Thank you for reading, Bishops, Priests, friends, family, lay people and evil ones.  Improving our serve is something we MUST stay attuned to doing.  Each kill mill has different access characteristics; 40Days4Life prayer warriors are important but we MUST not neglect the critical 17 seconds of life and death, one on one with the victim’s mother, whether she aborted or just got an ultrasound. I will continue, maybe use steth and scrubs in the future, to get those precious 17 seconds at the driveway BUT on the sidewalk ribbon, with women being lied to and their lifeblood being ripped from their wombs and often, losing their very life.  These type c males are assholes for NOT protecting the lady they donated sperm to, and just maybe, manhood IS returning to America post Nov 5. 

Maybe  you have, but I have yet to see a “reproductive” walking the streets defending its “rights” so maybe the Obamakamalacabal will be held at bay for a couple, maybe 4 could be 12 years as America has a re-awakening  in parallel with the Renaissance of the Real Presence begun in Bethlehem, the House of Bread, 2600 years after the Father installed Giza, the Border Fire in the Middle sacramental portraying Holy Family travel plans to Cairo/Zeitoun.

I recall a frightened young woman one Saturday Alice’s response to a free PP kill mill rose, when providentially this time I had more than the 17 seconds of time to witness and help with hope because the security guard was  busy elsewhere.

She showed me the ultrasound pics, and her short comment was:  “I don’t want to hurt my baby”.  Her boyfriend driver had stopped and I told her simply thru the opened window:  “You don’t. and you don’t have to come back to this hellhole.”

She gratefully accepted the rose and the information sheet where she could get free services to keep her child; that “info sheet” is like a ransom note… she doesn’t have to treat her future child as a hostage, a slave or a disposable organ donation of a living, breathing prebirth child.

Alice had the child, 7  1/2months later and is living in a different state.  We don’t ‘save’ the babies, God does thru the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

We are mere vessels, instruments delivering the message.  The more we improve our serve, remain agile in seeing the import of having trained (everyone can be trained) sidewalk counselors near the crisis/focus points where 17 seconds IS the diff between life and death, the sidewalk  prayer warriors can do their thing.

But saving lives at kill mills, is no different than a 2 year old kid falling into the pool.  You don’t just stand there and pray “God, please save my baby from drowning” or “saveTHISbaby from death”.   You jump in fully clothed and rescue the child.  I did this once wearing my suit, pager and cell in the pockets,  for my very young Rose Angel and all of us can do it today at your local PP kill mill nationwide.   Maximize doing the right thing to stop hell from stealing yet another baby, just because she or he is not baptized yet and swimming inside mom.

Portraying a fake doctor seemed to work; but maybe it’s not for every kill mill; if you do always remember you will NOT kill as many babies as the other fake doctors inside do with chemicals or Currettes: both are lethal tools of Satan.

A Butterfly between two Kings

Now a choice: to celebrating at St. John, the Baptist Catholic church and/or walking in the annual Holy Innocents procession, since  it’s on a Saturday this year, reserved for our #10 daughter marrying a #1 son of a fine family of 10 kids and two super parents, I just might miss it.

The nighttime walk…not the wedding

Both at St John’s, I could miss the walk due to the reception in Orange, not far from my frequent Sat visiting site at 700 Tustin at The 22, the hellhole HQ of death that Cecile Richards led, now facing the same fate of the babies she had killed by fake doctors.  Yes, still pray for Kamala and Cecile.  We will see.

God bless you all. It IS a great day to be alive!  So, please pray “Lord, use me as You will, not I”   And let Him put you to work: you’ll never regret it, even if Billy or a Bishop Cozzens asks you “What were you thinking, partner?”

Bullets Change History at Times..Trump’s Brush with Death Changed Him

Most of you have heard about the “Shot heard ’round the world.”  The “shot heard round the world” is a phrase that refers to the opening shot of the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, which sparked the American Revolutionary War and led to the creation of the United States. It originates from the opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1837 poem “Concord Hymn” (Wiki). 

On the 70th anniversary of what formerly was called Armistice, on Veteran’s Day, we celebrate(d) the “Silence heard around the world” ending the first of too many worldwide wars; Nov 11,1918 was the date WWI came to a close and 70 years since Veteran’s Day was inaugurated.

For the record, the US did not enter WWI as a combatant until April 6,1917; of note, Mary’s first apparitional appearance in Fatima occurred 5 weeks later on May 13, 1917 in the city a Catholic prince named for his Muslim bride, Fatima, who was named for the beloved daughter of Mohammad, the founder of Islam. Mary warned of the rise of Russia and the need to consecrate the nation…warnings and events need to be heeded. The “discussion” about whether this happened continue.

Famously, “peace” reigned from the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month; of course, until the next one.  But, no one can deny, there is an inter-relationship between faith, reason, politics and events throughout time.

Bullets DO change things.

God-incidentally, 64 years to the day after Mary’s first frequent flight into Fatima, a Muslim assassin hired by Bulgarians (via Russia) shot Pope Saint John Paul the Great at close range.  For the last 1400 years, since Islam was created, the radicals in its midst has chased the Jews and Christians;

What saved him was he stooped to see a 12 year old’s miraculous medal and the first or second bullet only grazed his heart.  That “distraction” saved his life and the bullet, to come full circle, was placed in the Our Lady of Fatima statue at the holy site in Portugal.   Soon after, this great Pope forgave his assailant, Mehmet Ali Ağca. “The location of the shooting, marked by a stone tablet, in St. Peter’s Square. On 13 May 1981, in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, Pope John Paul II was shot and wounded by Mehmet Ali Ağca while he was entering the square. The Pope was struck twice and suffered severe blood loss.”

Do you think God had some involvement with the trajectory?

Back up to March 30, 1981: “President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley Jr. outside the Washington Hilton Hotel as he was leaving a speaking engagement. The bullet struck Reagan under his left armpit, narrowly missing his heart, and he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.”

Reagan, privately, discussed this with the Pope later, their near brushes with death. Interestingly, something  we should see following the Nov 5 election, are the words from Reagan’s doctor: “I hope you all are Republicans…” in his typically whimsical style.  One doctor responded: “Today we are all Republicans, Mr President.”

Today, we should be all Americans and begin a renaissance of Truth, Love and peace.  Can we?     July 13th…

Reuters Secret service bodyguards crowd around a waving Donald Trump and try to usher him off stage after he was shot at during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13I was on a transcontinental flight that July 13th, heading to the National Eucharist Congress in Indianapolis when word got to us someone had tried to assassinate the now President 47; at first, we didn’t know he was alive, injured or dead and gone.  Like the pope, he was distracted for a short second before the 1 of 8 bullets ripped through his ear and not his brain; although one of those eight Thomas Matthew Crooks shot off, killed a good family man.  Chances are, he’s in hell but even that depends on God’s judgement.  Not mine.  Not yours.

Pope St. John Paul the Great was distracted by a holy sacramental, the Miraculous Medal.Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pa. A graphic about immigration was displayed on screens at the rally. (AP)

President elect Donald Trump was distracted by immigration stats on a large graphic to his right.  Both objects saved the respective targets their lives, and they lived on to do great things; we already know of what Reagan’s, JPII the Great Saint accomplished.  What will the results of Trump’s brush with death and providential protection is yet to be seen.

So much idle commentary why Trump won and the ObamaKamalaCabal lost.  My take is simple: God heard the prayers of the American people, and a majority of them voted for the man who served two good years, interrupted by the evil Mao Tse Xi’s manufactured Wuhan viral incubation and tons of left leaning, Democrat radical oppression including major election interference in 2020.  Does the laptop from hell ring a bell? 51 lying bastard “intelligencia” agents a year in from its discovery?

Kamala, spawned in adulterous Slick Willie Willy days, she was well paid at $400K and on her way; but, America IS blessed with smart people who didn’t buy the $1 million performance of the Chicago billionaire Oprah, or the tired sirens Obamas, Clintons and others.

But, zero in on the key stone of her campaign: she favors incessantly, the killing of American citizens just before they have a chance at being rug rats, curtain climbers, kinders, even teens.  A chance at contributing to the Father’s beloved human race’s accomplishments as doctors, scientists, teachers, plumbers, garbage recycling etc roles in their aborted 80 years of earthly life.   Ironic is the sign at many Holocaust (the party of death seemed to favor incantations of hitler) museums of those missing due to the 6 million scorced earth deaths of Jews, Poles, Hungarians, the handicapped…including doctors, scientists etc.  He alone above, the Creator of all, has the “right” to how long we live, from conception to natural death; He did not create any “reproductives” to demand their rights in the malapropism type ways of demons and planned parenthoodlums.

God will NOT be mocked and eventually pass judgement on our actions…the ObamaKamalaCabal is alllll consonents separated by the godless cultura mortis “a” for abortion.  We are a blessed land, yes with many flaws, but God sees our collective heart and is giving us another chance.  Killing His creatures prebirth and trying to replace them with 20 million foreigners, many being murderers, criminals and sleepers comes, not from the heavens, but the father of lies in hell.

Let’s not squander this chance, though the ankle biters like Marc Elias are already at work to immobilize the real America: the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave. It is only 4 years until JD’s inauguration, and two years before we see the whitewashed sepulcher of the Newsom Twosome vs the “VANCE #48 in 2028” election memorabilia hits the streets and airwaves.

Pray for Kamala, whose one foot in hell is warm and getting hotter; pray for the untold victims, many listed here of moms facing God the same day their child did; but pray for America that we might serve the Eucharistic Lord even more.

Trump IS wrong on IVF and Melania’s new published stand on prebirth life is unfortunate.

And, historically, in 2000, I stood a foot from the plaque depicting the spot in St Peter’s courtyard where Pope Saint John Paul the Great was wounded. But who am I, not worthy to remove St John the Baptist’s sandals.

Yet, mark these words: Trump’s brush with actual death changed him four months ago that July 13th.  Notable is 13 is an important number, for it is the date Mary visited Fatima six times; oh, and Jesus died on Friday the 13th in the Hebrew month Abib.  Pray that President Trump’s double mandate will be honored, hitting the ground running.

There should be no Comey double agent sandbag on his first days in office.  But there IS evil lurking among the good.  Pray for real peace, the advancement of the Abraham Accords and so much more needed to repair the last 1300+ days of the Obamanation of Desolators and Decepticons. We have been two countries, #2, that of DC owned by the permanent administrative state puppeted by the Obamanation.

The first: real America; possibly we can be united as one, at least for a few years, despite the ankle biters nibbling away at our freedoms and Constitution.

In His Service, Len

 

Fr. Simon talks Capstones, Cornerstones, Keystones, Coverstones and more…

begun on the feast of Pope Saint John Paul the Great Oct 22nd 2024  Revised….Oct 27 2024

Verbum d’ day: capstone…

Keystone (architecture) - Wikiwand

Keystone in red…

Father Know It All;  keep an eye on the mails, Christmas is coming early for you!

On the feast of Pope Saint John Paul the Great, Father KIA Simon called out cornerstone, capstone as the word of the day. Great call!  But I believe there are interesting distinctions worth noting…and a minor correction.

..brief thoughts Fr. KIA! You are 99 and 44/100% right, just like Ivory soap. Keystones, Coverstones, Cornerstones, Capstones and Top Stones are different and have different purposes.

KEYSTONE not capstone, is the actual name of the top weight bearing stone at the apex of an arch made of stones.  See the figure to the upper right…

CORNERSTONE/Capstone (as mentioned in today, Pope St John Paul the Great’s feast day reading)
“..built upon the foundation (stone, Peter) of Apostles with Christ Jesus Himself as the CAPSTONE”. Elsewhere, Jesus is referred to as the “cornerstone that the builders rejected“.

The World’s Largest Prophecy Stone Mountain. Brought to you by the Father.

Giza WITH the 144,000 mirror bright limestone cover stones BEFORE the earthquake of ad1303 turned Giza into a Home Depot/Loews store for Arabian building builders. Over 2+ centuries, the loosened bright hard limestones were stolen for minarets and mosques.

Not often mentioned, the GodFather 4600 years ago (had) built the WORLD’S LARGEST STONE MOUNTAIN/STRUCTURE

That is, a Monument at the EXACT CENTER OF THE WORLD pointing to His Eucharistic Son’s birthplace Jews and Christians call the House of Bread (of Life) 270 miles away along the 26 degree 18minute 9.63seconds pointing vector that skirts the Middle Earth Sea (ok not Lord of the Rings, the Mediterranean).  Anyone venture to guess why it is called the Middle Earth Sea, just as Giza is called the geometric pyramid though it isn’t always 4 sided, it literally means “Border (Giza translated) Fire in the Middle.”  Didja know this?  Knowing Fr KIA Simon knows a lot, he probably already did.  Most Catholics do NOT; they miss the reality that outward signs instituted (made) by God to give grace aren’t just those mentioned in Baltimore St Joseph edition or Pope Saint John Paul the Great’s 1993 CCC.

It (hat tip Jimmy Akin) ironically ALSO points back from BethLehem to where the Holy Family spent a couple years fleeing Herod in Cairo, Egypt among the Jewish settlers who hail back to Alexander the Great days.  Yes, there was a time Jews and Egyptians coexisted well near Cairo.  We are almost there with the Abraham Accords helping the peace process to a time of mutual respect with Cyrus the Great’s bad boy despot King Khoumenei, the farsi NON Arabian terror master who serves the father of lies.

Mouthful but true: the world’s most measured object, the Border:Fire in the Middle 2.3 million blocks of prophetic stone, has spiritual significance to those who can see. No, not the crystal cultists but the followers of Jesus, the Eucharistic Son.

Thus I can prove: Giza is NOT primarily a 4 sided geometric pyramid.  Translated, it is called “Border Fire in the Middle” and is referred to in Isaiah 19:19:20.

We know it as Giza Pyra-Midos or Giza (NOT one of the 118 couunterfeit Pharaoh Coffins strewn across the Giza plain. Giza IS the supernatural model structure that was copied imperfectly; the only “pyramid” in Egypt with passages below ground level, no dead bodies as in the King Tut ego graves of the Pharaohs’  of old…but with a mixed provenance of who it came to be.

You can’t see Giza in its pristine state today, but Egyptologists and Biblical scholars studying the Father’s Monument to HisGreat Pyramid is located in Egypt Eucharistic Son, Jesus at one time was adorned with 144,000 casing or COVER stones, mirror bright with other miracle measurements and properties hidden inside the 2.3 million (estimated 5.5 million tons) blocks.  See the artist’s rendering of Giza above, which is like a “pillar of fire” maxing out at high noon on the Spring Equinox each year. (well, except for 33AD of course when it mysteriously went pitch dark due to cross events 5 miles from Bethlehem 270 miles from the Giza on Golgotha

One ‘miracle’ astrophysical property of the Isaiah 19 monument:  There is NO Shadow AT High Noon on the Spring Equinox each year (I surmise there might be still a 4 day error in the Chabad to Gregorian calendar conversions, making the equinox simultaneous with March 25th, a la Annunciation and Crucifixion simul).   Also, quick study of John’s gospel, Deuteronomy and Exodus shows Friday the 13th day of Abib on the Hebrew Calendar to be the luckiest day for humanity: His Crucifixion.

Thus: according to Church tradition: day of Christ’s birth inside Mary’s womb (Annunciation) and death of Jesus is same DATE not day. More remarkable: Death day also Friday the 13th day of Abib Hebrew.

Point is, Father Simon, Giza was designed WITHOUT a top cornerstone, but a 30 sf flat square area; as the Isaiah reference states, it can be considered as an altar, as well as a pillar of fire, sits at both BOUNDARY and MIDDLE of the united Egypt after King Menes joined the two Egypts into one.  AND, its prophetic nature has NOT been completed.  Look to the beginning of the Isaiah chapter mentioned previously:

Isaiah 19 Verse 1:  Oracle on Egypt:

“See, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud on his way to Egypt; The idols of Egypt tremble before Him, the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.”

Timeless timeline

Rutherford’s 1957 graphic showing the prophetic nature of Giza’s interior. One pyramid inch = one solar year. Note the angle of the descending and ascending passageways are 26 degrees 18 min. 9.63 seconds commonly called the Christ Angle

I contend, based on my research, Giza is mentioned cryptically in the book of Isaiah, well known for its Christ prophecies. Isaiah 19:19-20!  Note, also, no where is it mentioned prophecies MUST be on Dead Sea Scrolls or ancient papyrus.

Suppose, the Father loved His Son so much eternally and foreknew AS the Eucharistic gift of Thanksgiving to the humans He would someday create: in fact, so much so, the Father caused to be built or built supernaturally with Enoch or ? (not Khufu), the Father caused to build His supernaturally designed monument: the perfect stone structure that is still off only 3 seconds of arc from the four cardinal directions; the others are mere imperfect imitations (118 Pharaoh gravesites) over time.  Fr Simon, want to prove this to yourself (Fr Spitzer, my PB&J, or “physicist blind Jesuit”, where are you when needed) take your laptop or computer. 2) Google Earth Giza Pyramid 3) Zero in so the pyro midos object fills your screen 4)  say “Oh my!”, it is perfectly aligned north south east and west.  As it turns out the most accurate “compass” on earth off only 3 seconds of arc (out of a 360 degree or 1,296,000 seconds).  Why this is important for a later time…

Granted, the emphasis in the scriptures below are mine, but imagine if they really do apply to this monument that NO ONE COULD BUILD TODAY even with megalomanipulator size equipment. Further,the cement can’t even be reproduced but science and researchers have extrapolated amazing truths about it.

Not to mention its base is 9131 inches per side or 36524 inches.  Hmm.  Fancy that, a true (not sidereal) solar year to five significant digits (365.24)

19 On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the LORD near its boundary. 20 This will be a sign and witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, so that when they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a Savior to defend and deliver them.

21The LORD shall make himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day

Fr. Simon: you’re a busy man but a lot more details in this other article/post when you get a moment:

The Cause for considering the Giza Pyramid as a Catholic relic and holy site

But, Father KIA Simon, a conjecture: could the Lord come back in a “swift cloud” to the center of the world and pass over or even land on the altar top of the world’s largest monument in the middle (and at the Giza or border) at the appointed hour and day? That is, the true Cornerstone (this type of pyramid has five corners and Giza was designed WITHOUT the cornerstone/top capstone)

Any one with a computer or cell phone can Google this as I mentioned above; it is NOT a guarded secret of the Freemasons but “hidden” in plain sight for Catholic apologists like Patrick and Drew to find:  It is only 270 miles to the House of Bread of Life, along the Christ angle built inside (26 degrees, 18minutes 9.63 seconds) that passed by the Middle Earth Sea (translate: mediterranean).

In fact, even more interesting on the Spring Equinox, if you stand ON the Giza, you could see the sun rise over Bethlehem on its way to it’s high noon highest light energy bearing down on the earth’s surface. Why?  ZERO shadow.

Want MORE wow!?!: at the solstices, Summer and Winter, both at dawn and dusk, Giza appears as an EIGHT sided object, possibly signifying Jesus (in Hebrew/ Greek, numbers are assigned to the letters;  Jesus’ first name spells out 888.)  Eight signifies resurrection, renewal, Renaissance and rejuvenation.  Lots of examples, like the Noah 8 in the rejuvenation Ark; every 8 days is a renewal of a week. The 8th note in the major scale is a harmonic (same note) as the first, the 8th day from Palm Sunday was the resurrection after the Friday the 13th good luck for us Friday Eucharistic Lord sacrifice etc.

Don’t forget Zeitoun!!!  Hat tip to wise guy Jimmy Akins for his posting/treatment of the world’s MOST viewed apparition, Our Lady of Zeitoun that began April 2, 1968 just after the 6 day war of miracles.

Plus:  I believe the same 270 mile path from Giza to Bethlehem was traveled (House of Bread Bethlehem TO Cairo, Egypt)  by the Holy Family; BACK to Cairo, passing the Father’s Monument to His Eucharistic Son.  Godincidentally, Our Lady of Zeitoun, a suburb of Cairo, is also called the Lady of Light.  OH, AND interesting: the followers of Muhammad call Bethlehem the House of Meat.

Thank you for reading,  LET THE ADVENTURE COMMENCE!

Our Lady of Zeitoun

Marian apparition that occurred in Zeitoun, a district of Cairo, Egypt, beginning 1968

stmaryztn.org/saintmary/en

Our Lady of Zeitoun, also known simply as El-Zeitoun, Zeitun or rarely Our Lady of Light, was a mass Marian apparition that was reported to have occurred in the Zeitoun district of Cairo, Egypt, during a period of about 3 years beginning on 2 April 1968  (I don’t know if this matters, Father Simon, but Pope Saint John Paul the Great died on April 2nd just after the Divine Mercy vigil mass concluded.  We ARE in interesting times!!

The secular Wikipedia’s take on Giza:

The Great Pyramid of Giza [a] is the largest Egyptian pyramid.It served as the tomb of pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.Built c. 2600 BC, [3] over a period of about 26 years, [4] the pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only wonder that has remained largely intact.It is the most famous monument of the Giza pyramids

It is situated at the northeastern end of the line of the three main pyramids at Giza.

Initially standing at 146.6 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the world’s tallest human-made structure for more than 3,800 years. Over time, most of the smooth white limestone casing was removed, which lowered the pyramid’s height to the current 138.5 metres (454.4 ft); what is seen today is the underlying core structure. The base was measured to be about 230.3 metres (755.6 ft) square, giving a volume of roughly 2.6 million cubic metres (92 million cubic feet), which includes an internal hillock.[6] The dimensions of the pyramid were 280 royal cubits (146.7 m; 481.4 ft) high, a base length of 440 cubits (230.6 m; 756.4 ft), with a seked of ⁠5+1/2 palms (a slope of 51°50’40”).

The Great Pyramid was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks, weighing 6 million tonnes in total. The majority of the stones are not uniform in size or shape, and are only roughly dressed.

The outside layers were bound together by mortar. Primarily local limestone from the Giza Plateau was used for its construction. Other blocks were imported by boat on the Nile: white limestone from Tura for the casing, and blocks of granite from Aswan, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for the “King’s Chamber” structure.

The world’s largest and earliest Eucharistic miracle

Last Revised 10/11/24  10/17/24

The world’s earliest and largest Eucharistic miracle?!      

My theological theory: “for all eternity, the Father knew His Son would become the Eucharistic Son on earth for His beloved human race yet not created.

Proud of the sacrifice His Son would endure, 2600 years before His birth, supplementing

The top of the Great Giza Pyramid, picture shot by a paraglider, showing it missings its coverstones

the Scriptural prophecies, the Father (had)built a magnificent monument to salvation history. 

It includes two pointings: As you may know in her apparitions, Mary always points to her Son; the Father pointed to the same Jesus 270 miles (NEast) directly FROM the center of the world, to the House of Bread of Life, pointing out His upcoming birthplace at his birth Annunciation.   The Magi had limited knowledge in the stars, constellations and their studies; the Father had perfect knowledge.

Similarly, dual purpose, the Holy Family left Bethlehem, warned by the angel Gabriel about Herod, to head BACK along the same route to the Cairo area, 270 miles (southwest) from Jesus’ birthplace.”  ~proposal that Giza is more than a pile of granite and limestone.

The Holy JMJ Family & their donkey meets the Father’s millennia old birth announcement showing the world the path to His Eucharistic Son.

Did the Holy Family experience Giza on their travels during Holy Innocents time?   Evidence can be shown!  Only 270 miles along a 26 degree 18 minutes 9.63 seconds vector.  It was the straightest shot from Beth’Lehem to safety, the obvious target first of the world’s largest birth reveal. 

Theory: The shortest distance for the Holy Family, was built into the proud GodFather’s birth~gift.  A structure He (had) built 2600 years previously.  Look at the travel map below and notice the way to a friendly Jewish community is the reverse of the vector that points away from Giza toward the House of Bread ie Bethlehem.  Explained in full later but it is the proposed theory here:

The Father built Giza to house eternal truths and most specifically it points…   Set the stage:

The “legend in his own mind” evil Herod was having a fit.  The Magi had been warned supernaturally to NOT return to Jerusalem and Herod, only 5 miles away. 

As Giza should look without human scavenging

Wouldn’t it make sense that Joseph was directed, at night per tradition and Scripture, toward the Jewish refugee enclave just outside Cairo, Egypt, 270 miles in a straight line, to be able to get their quickly, adjacent to the Middle Earth Sea (Mediterranean) as they traveled?   In fact, it seems only poetic justice and better: following the plans of a benevolent Eternal Father.

Today (this first written), on the feast of St Padre Pio and looking toward Michaelmas, understand that Joseph AND St Michael are known as the protectors, each in their own and God’s way, of the Domestic Holy Family church, and the greater Catholic church…made up of millions of “Domestic Churches”.

CCC2223 describes the responsibilities even Joseph “terror of demons” followed, as the forgiving kind-hearted protector of his pregnant wife’s honor and throughout his shorter life as foster father.

In a ten year old book called “The Confessions of Father Pio Vianney”, Pope Saint John Paul the Great is quoted (from theology of the body):

“Christ assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman”

What a perfect description of our mentor and selfless St. Joseph.  Men, he needs to be one of your fave saints.   Read on:
CCC 2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues. This requires an apprenticeship in self-denial, sound judgment, and self-mastery – the preconditions of all true freedom. Parents should teach their children to subordinate the “material and instinctual dimensions to interior and spiritual ones.”1 Parents have a grave responsibility to give good example to their children. By knowing how to acknowledge their own failings to their children, parents will be better able to guide and correct them:
He who loves his son will not spare the rod. .. He who disciplines his son will profit by him.2
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.3
Confer the apostolic exhortation “Redemptoris Custos”…

People of God, times ARE short: “In these challenging times, courageous men and women of faith are being called to rise and fight under the banner of St. Michael. Annually, as we approach his feast, the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey are calling on Catholics worldwide to unite in a powerful novena against the forces of darkness.

Let us boldly invoke the intercession of St. Michael to protect our families, society, and the Church from Satan and all evil spirits who prowl the earth seeking the ruin of souls. Now, more than ever, we must come together in faith and prayer.”

We ARE living in momentous times, people!!

Going to Scripture: Recall, in Matthew, this historical occurrence, like the life lengths in Genesis have purpose as does the 600+ (so many in Isaiah) projections/prophecies about the coming Savior and the Holy Family:

Jon Dunn sooo wanted access to the Christ Child at his House of Bread of Life, ie Bethlehem, branch. Imagine what those holy baby organs would have been worth in hell or at Dr Theiler, abortionist and organ extorter, at UTexMed or YaleMed!  But GodFather & Holy Spirit sent Gabriel to move the family to Egypt.

When they (Magi) had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.”

14  Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt.

15* He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”   
What God calls, answer IMMEDIATELY!  The angel didn’t say: “Joseph, change the donkey shoes on your 4 legged transport tomorrow; alert your local friends and relatives you are leaving for a few days, have a going away party.  Stock up on groceries at the local Bethlehem Krogers or Albertsons.  NO!!

The angel said “Rise NOW! and GO!  They did!

Understand this was more than a monthly vacation; it involved years.

Odd question, why was Egypt that much safer than Jerusalem or another part of Israel or Judea? Turns out a Jewish settlement had been near Cairo for hundreds of years, and then the easier answer: a megalomaniacal King Herod.  And the Father, being omnipotent would have known where mom, stepfather and His Beloved Eucharistic Son would end up 2600 years later. 
The Father, being all knowing and powerful, could even chart their path millennia before, because, well, He was the Omniscient (Omni-science) God.  And all powerful

Cross referencing this prophecy in Hosea chapter 11, it reads:

When Israel was a child I loved him, out of Egypt I called my son.

Again, imagine if the proud Father pegged the place that His Eucharistic Son would stay for a time, near Cairo, at the exact Center of the World to protect Him from satan’s most evil servant, Herod.

After all, Herod WAS the chief enemy and lieutenant for evil under the father of lies and deception, the devil.

Realizing the Flight TO Egypt was a mirror of the arrow pointing FROM Giza/Egypt to the Eucharistic City, the House of Bread of Life.

Imagine, the same vector built into the World’s Largest Christ/Salvation History monument that points NorthEast from the center of the world to the birthing city served a second purpose.

Doing more research, it makes good sense that the Father had His angel wake Joseph up, and send him, mom Mary and the young Son to a safe Jewish enclave across the border ALONG the same vector/line, only south west near the Giza plateau and the Giza Pyramid.  ANY of you reading this can emulate the travel plans: ask Siri or Google Map from Giza to Bethlehem or vice versa.  AFTER Google mapping Giza, seeing it remarkably lines up perfect with your laptop or desktop computers  OR phone!

WE ARE in the beginnings of a Eucharistic Renaissance, necessary in our decaying world, affecting the Church.

Recall the Eucharistic Son Celebration at the summer of 2024; Bishop Cozzens chaired the National Eucharistic Congress, in Indianapolis. But he also spoke at the International Eucharistic Congress, on 9-11, He emphasized: The Eucharist is the heart of the world because, through the Mass, all the sufferings of our world are able to be offered to the Father, united with Jesus.’  He called it the “Transfiguration of the World”   (hat tip, EWTN)

“His response is to send his Son into our broken world,”      The same world, people, that the Father/God created perfectly, engendering peace, long life spans, dwelling with His Presence, until the serpent and the Apple messed things up.

” Bishop Cozzens continued. “The purpose of the Incarnation is for the Eucharist, so that he can offer his life for us, for the healing of our world.” He explained that Jesus Christ redeems the world through his Paschal mystery. ”   Chew on that, people!  Jesus was born to die; tradition tells us His conception coincides with the Annunciation, March 25th on the Gregorian calendar

“The Paschal mystery is the greatest mystery we have, because it transforms evil into good,” Bishop Cozzens noted.    Amen!

Reflecting on the power of this work of redemption, Bishop Cozzens underscored that “there is nothing so evil, nothing so bad, that it cannot be taken by God and turned into something good.” 

So, people, in parallel, note that the Father so wants to love us, to share the Divine Mercy resident in His Eucharistic Son.  The spiritual AND physical parallels are absolutely beautiful…read on:

Regarding this aspect of man’s life, Bishop Cozzens posed the question: “Why is it that Our Lord did not take away human suffering? Why not? He could have.
Why through his death and resurrection did he not end suffering? Well, the reason must be He knew that suffering would be the place where we could learn to express the most love.”
“And so Our Lord did not take away suffering. He entered into suffering, and he transformed suffering from within, and made it possible for suffering to become a force of love in the world. This is the power of redemption, and this is the mystery the Eucharist invites us to every day.” 
In that sense, Bishop Cozzens pointed out, “the Eucharist wants to teach us how to transform, or we might even say transfigure, suffering, so that our sufferings can become a place of glory.”
Addressing the question of why God allows suffering, Bishop Cozzens continued: “It could only be so that greater love could come into the world, so that more glory could come. The more we begin to live a Eucharistic life, the more we understand the meaning and the value of our sufferings.”
Bishop Cozzens also warned of the temptation, in the face of suffering, to “turn in on oneself.” However, “what the Lord asks is in that moment that I would turn to him and I would see his suffering and that I would turn to others and see their suffering. And then in my heart, I would make a simple prayer: ‘Lord, I accept this suffering for those people I know who are suffering, for love of you or others.’”
Cozzens then highlighted that Jesus “invites us to pour out our sufferings to him and, ultimately, he wants to show us how he can use this suffering for good.”
“What happens at the Mass is that I bring my suffering to the altar. And that suffering now is united to Christ’s offering to the Father and then has the power to pour out love on the whole of the world.”
For this reason, Bishop Cozzens emphasized, ”the Eucharist is the heart of the world because, through the Mass, all the sufferings of our world are able to be offered to the Father, united with Jesus.”

========Bethlehem to Giza, 270 miles or bust====Holy Family in flight==========

An actual picture of Google Earth used in a travel map: to chart a path from Bethlehem to Giza in Cairo. Note the angle against compass baseline is 26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds, measuring 270 mi

I believe we have severely underestimated God the Creator in many ways, especially today with these climate related unforced errors and so much highly advanced measurement and analysis devices to show our errors…it seems the more “advanced” we become, the more susceptible to indoctrination we seem to be. 

Like insulting God regarding the atmospheric physics, using  Climate Change to fraudulently replace God as the prime controller of the climate (my beloved Katy defines climate well, as atmospheric changes over time.  Weather refers more directly to the daily. But, newsflash loony lefties: God controls BOTH!)

UNDERSTANDING THE REAL GIZA AND ITS PURPOSES

Point is simple:

God caused 2.3 million 30-70 ton blocks to be fitted together within 1/100 of an inch, true to all eight corners with uncanny accuracy, “glued” together with a mysterious cement we CAN’T replicate today.

This rough interior structure, with built in passages, some below ground, a bodiless coffer and some inscriptions were then covered with 144,000 highly polished hard limestone cap or cover stones.

Well, except the top was kept flat, 30 square feet like an altar awaiting sacred vessels.  But our Kerry fans claim He can’t keep His beloved earthlings and earth from burning up. What mockery and insults to the Eternal Trinity.

Certainly, we can believe He created the universe for mankind not the vice versa.  The good angels didn’t mind, but the demonic father of lies hated new human beings.  Think Mr. Smith and the matrix, and his quote about humans!

The Flight into Egypt, by Giotto (details)

Scientifically, the Holy Family would travel to the East to RETURN to Israel. Artistic license if this is Flight to Egypt

The angels are spirit beings and matter is of no consequence to them; well , except the devil hates God for making material humans in the first place, especially the mother of God and her role as Regina Coeli.  I recall Mr. Smith in the movie “Matrix” showing rabid distaste for human flesh.  No different than hell.

From all eternity, the Trinity has co-existed as three Persons; they as God did NOT need angels and humans.

Once the universe was underway, Adam and Eve created, the Trinity took successive steps to reveal Himself to his favored organic race of beings.  But look at the basic  stats (my beloved Matt thinks I overthink numbers and Math in Scripture and probably Creation.  This is why I love him: willing to speak his mind):

~553 sextillion (553,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) miles wide universe estimated.  Quite a bit of matter.  Why can God control that expanse but not a tiny rock 3rd from the sun?

~Billions of stars and galaxies first verified only 400 years ago via Galileo’s improved telescope; before that, the smartest earthlings thought maybe 1000 (Phoenicians, Egyptians, Galileo’s contemporay, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe for example) stars AT MOST. 1000?

But remember, long before, in His revelations, God told Abraham there were millions and billions of stars. When? He told Abram your descendants would number as high as the sands of the sea and stars in the sky.  In basic math, we call this an equation: pieces of sand = stars in the sky/universe.  Of course, Abraham couldn’t count but could understand orders of magnitude. Conclusion: there are a whole lot more stars in the firmament than 1000. You don’t need ancestry.com to realize, at a billion descendants, Abram now Abraham qualifies as the reputed “Father of many nations”.

YOU figure out why it took so long for humans to catch up to God’s astronomical counting? 1) We are NOT God and can’t see above the earth’s sky.

2) Because, before instrumentation, remember, humans relied on human eyes for sight. Looking up at the stars with one’s eyes, not telescopes.  But, God didn’t need a Meade telescope to KNOW the facts, the same facts He revealed to Abraham in a promise.

God, like a benevolent Father, reserved the privilege of revealing certain things over time; sometimes with a quantum leap like at the Flood & Ark; in fact, the stars look random but they are not…the Magi, for example, understood them well by their “groupings”. As did many civilizations on the earth.  But, realizing the truths hidden in these groupings/constellations CAN be discovered.

Notice where Virgo and Leo are on Mary’s silhouette. The star chart over Mexico City Dec 12, 1531

You might know: Stars grouped into constellations also clue us in on salvation historyOne concrete example, only known about 30 years ago, was the Our Lady of Guadalupe image emblazoned on her Tilma contains the Mexico City Star Map of Dec 12, 1531. Think about that miracle!!

For 450 years, previously, the stars on the Tilma were seen as a random array.  Now we know the truth.  Again, like with Giza, sometimes God does not reveal the whole truth until it can accomplish His purposes.  Maybe the Holy Family’s incidental ‘meeting’ Giza is another.

Further investigative analysis, with super astronomical computers shows the constellation Virgo rests over Mary’s heart and Leo the Lion (symbol of Jesus) over her womb. Actually, woven in, integral to her body parts.  Only God could do this.   Look and see the goodness of the Trinity using various means to clue us into the Truth.

But God wasn’t done just because He created the stars and galaxies.

~On earth, trillions of insects, including the dreaded cockroach; millions of plants and animals.  But….only one of each human sex/gender/species??

~Yes only ONE first couple, two humans, one male and one female.  Sorry humanity manipulators, school board cowards and biologic revisionists, only two sexes or legitimate genders.  God did NOT create 60 genders so modern people could steal His divinely ordained RAINBOW.  Talk about chutzpah by the father of lies and those following him.

All these silly racist and faux genders you have to re-educate public school boards about.  Join me at school  boards this year?

Only ONE of each sex instead of millions created en masse? Why would God do it this way especially by His Spoken Word He could have built nations in a nanosecond.

After all, I think it is cute the atheistic evolutionists shout “Billions of years per epic” as if God needed that amount of time to put Adam together, then the last most complex being, woman, before the day He took off.   

In truth, the godless evolvers need a billion or so years more than God.  After all, no one was around to watch the billion years of development of evolutionary changes;  for all we know, God DID create in a few days.  Hmm…  like it says in Genesis.

Being a humble junior assistant Catholic apologist, my question to the VIP Catholic apologists and intelligensia in forensic evolutionary science, “WHO benefits from 350 billion years design/change plans?”  This epic lasted 150 billion, that epic needing 500 billion 365.242 days long eras.

With all the hyperinflation  going on on earth, isn’t it time the Billionaire Age club start pontificating about a Trillion solar year evolutionary club?  Enjoy that one!!

Back to GOD’S plans:

This was phase one of His Plan: populate the world one kid (ok maybe two or eight consistent with today’s active Catholic homeschoolers where the average is well above 4) at a time, but go geometric with longer life spans.

God told us: “Go forth and MULTIPLY!”  And I believe He aided it, after the fall of the first couple, WITH those long lifespans to produce a larger population.  Better put, our physical bodies were more amenable to spans 5-10 times longer than today. Especially as the worldwide water vapor canopy model is research.

There was NO tower of babel census, so the quantity guesses range from thousands to millions, even one billion BEFORE the flood commenced.  As it is, scholars believe Babel happened about a 100 years after the flood and God’s intervention spread the nations and peoples across the globe.

Facts and Figures about the Giza Pyramid  =====basics=================

Giza Pyramid means “Border Fire Middle” <>  9131 inches times four sides=36524 inches <> Giza sits perfectly aligned with the points on a compass off only 3 seconds of arc (a circle has 1,296,000 ‘seconds’ of arc total) <> ‘Christ Angle’ is the entry passageway measured at 26 degrees 18 min 9.63 seconds that points to Bethlehem 270 miles to the northeast <> 17 steps up on North side is opening to entry passage <> north star shown down entry passage to 344 foot below ground “floor” in 2141BC and 2007AD  <>  Divide perimeter x height = 3.14159xx creating a “square circle” <>  Curvature of the faces match the curvature of the earth <> Giza sits at the exact center of the world near Cairo <> Spring equinox (nom. March 25th) Giza has zero shadow at high noon <> morning of Spring Equinox sun rises over Bethlehem if you stand on Giza <> 144,000 highly polished capstones calculated to cover the monument before stolen in 14th century <> Dawn and Dusk on the Solstices Giza appears to have 8 sides, matching Jesus’ number 8 noted for renewal, revival, resurrection and renaissance <> NO body rested inside Giza but there is a red granite box matching the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant <>  The Giza top was designed flat without a cornerstone: it is a 30 sq ft altar <>  King Menes united upper and lower Egypt implying Giza can sits at both the border AND the middle of Egypt <>  The quickest path for Joseph and family to flee Herod was to retrace the “steps” of the Christ Angle 270 miles southwest to the Jewish community in Cairo area <> Giza is believed to be a “prophetic time machine” using the scored entry location and measuring one ‘ sacred pyramid’ inch per year <> Giza maintains average worldwide temp of 68 degrees F <> there is water marks indicating it predates the Noahic flood <> sitting on a solid granite mountain, it remains a sentry to the Father’s plans aligned for a greater purpose in the future <>

Key verses:  “On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the LORD near its boundary.  This will be a sign and witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, so that when they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a Savior to defend and deliver them.”  Isaiah 19:19-20

===============================================================

But we know from Scripture and Jesus’ testimony, the flood resulted in eight humans remaining to repopulate the earth.  No denial UNLESS you don’t believe Jesus in the new Testament.  He sometimes speaks in parables but it is obvious when He does.  And even more obvious when He speaks 3D events and people.

Imagine how brilliant 144,000 mirror finished hardened limestone coverstones would be today if not stolen.

Why one by one? Because God did NOT want His humans to be stamped out like a robotics factory, like yesmen and yeswomen lemmings, created instantaneously so as to “learn” & be educated about the Trinity and the Eternals over time.  Free will.  Ever hear of it?  As to infused knowledge, His previous creations, the Angels, were gifted that way.

God chose the family as the Domestic Church to raise each new child.  Something a mother and father can do, unless fathers are devalued in the home under FDR, LBJ etc. and other anti-family types.

This includes the Only Eucharist Son of the Father, traveling with Mary & Joseph to a foreign land.  Or was it that foreign?

Point is, God wanted us to have free will to discover and live with Him forever.  But not as mind numbed automatons.

Phase II didn’t go so well.

Within the Eden Garden, the fallen angel Lucifer now satan lied about our first parents’ becoming gods, even THE God, practicing his father of lies role successfully.  Adam and the first Eve got kicked out of Eden and had to work the soil, laboring to eat and have more children.

Actually the evil one really DID become the father of lies like a Democrat prostitician (Adam and Eve Schiff, for example); the first couple Adam and Eve disobeyed God and listened to the evil one; their oldest son killed their younger. NOT a happy time at the dinner table?  But God protected Cain; consult Scripture.

What a start! But of course Adam and Eve had other children, and if you believe the genealogies, the early descendants lived long lifespans between 700-969 years.  I actually have come to the conclusion: I DO!

My brilliant son Matt and I have debated this: he has support from smart guys Trent “Death Cookie” Horn, Scott the Brilliant Hahn and others who favor the regal exaggeration” model, because, for example, the Sumerian kings bragged they lived 25,000 years.  Cyrus the Great’s story is interesting but for another time.

So, my Catholic colleagues, the people the Holy Spirit inspired to be “tracked”, logged and reported on throughout time must have exaggerated instead of counting the years, as well?  WHY?  There’s that pain in the neck question!!

I don’t see the comparison, between the godless and the God-fearing, being valid.  Think about it: the Genesis genealogies are the most accurate of all peoples and cultures of the one human race, IF you believe they are counting years, not using that Biblical “get out of truth free” card that early humans could only approximate. You know, they only had 20 digits, feet and hands, to count on.  But how moronic is that belief?

What weak scholarship is that?   Worry not, we will be back to Giza and the holy emigrating family.

Exaggerated, puffed up, chest pounding Tarzan like kings;  seems to me to be a non sequitur.  Except some realities we might consider:

~God’s lineage has specific, NOT even, rounded up or generalized ages.  Sumerian Regal brags were in the thousands, rounded off.  25,000 years old with nary a limp.

~The early ancients, close timewise to creation with a genetic “purity” of sorts, possibly shielded from intense cosmic and sun rays before the Flood were smart folks, not ignorant cavemen.

They were people and could remember orally and then record on media when the first son is born; then report how long each lived, season to season. Or better, the Torah writers were divinely inspired!

See the gene chart!  Is that so difficult?  You don’t need paper and pen, or rock and chisel to keep track of the generations.

Considering there is NO evidence the solar year charted in the base of the “Border Middle Fire” (abbreviated Giza; detail later) has NOT remained the same: 365.242 days for each trip around the sun, each Genesis year was a solar, not sidereal, year.  9131 inches (each side of Giza) x 4 = 36524.

The Jewish distraction is often brought up, the “well they lived the lunar not solar year”; true, but ever hear about the Luni-Solar of the Hebrews?  Note bene: the sun doesn’t cooperate with the lunar year; it still takes 365.242 days to travel the path God created for it.

What’s that all about? As you read this in 2024,  Israel is in year 5784 but still lives in 2024, putting up with the loser Harvard Hamas Haters and good Catholic indoctrinated students who befriend them: like kilograms to pounds, it’s an easy “translation” of time.

Neither the moon nor the sun move any differently depending on what calendar you have on your home’s wall, or in the parish office or synagogue.  Remember back to 4th grade natural science and astronomy.  How does the same face of the moon, after thousands or the atheists “billion years since creation began year X”, STILL remain fixed each lunar day?

Of course, they had no atomic clock to measure time down to nanoseconds but the charting of summer to summer or fall to fall was a simple task.  Basically, standard deviation error would be max of 3 months over 969 years before the flood.  One season. After all, Methuselah died just before God opened the flood gates above and below.

Len’s early attempt at charting the ages…the multi colored one is much better.  Too cumbersome

In fact, truth be told,there WAS a solar clock built 4600 years ago (not stonehenge) that had ZERO shadow each spring equinox.

The God created a 23.4 degree planetary slant/tilt, which in turn created the four seasons and in the Northern Hemisphere where the early peoples came from, charting birthdays would be manageable because each year would consistently be 365.242 years. Measure the perimeter of Giza to prove it to yourselves.

But the Jews are on the lunar year and months calendar?

That’s fine: currently our Jewish friends are in year 5784.  At chabad.org, I compared Hebrew to Gregorian:

Sunday, Av 14, 5784 = August 18, 2024

Both are valid, one based on lunar and the second on solar.  The earth and sun don’t mind which you live by, just LIVE to share the Gospel!  Jews strategically add a 13th month, since nominally the lunar year is 10  days shorter than the solar: approximately 354 to 365

From the Jewish site, Chabad.org…Date Conversion
As you know, they don’t have the benefit of smart Catholic apologists or evolutionary atheists to conjecture, so the Jewish calendar,quote: “starts with the day when Adam and Eve were created (the Sixth Day of Creation). We are now in the eighth century of the sixth millennium (for example, the year 2010 corresponds to the years 5770-5771).”

To better peg it, we need to understand the lunar Jewish methods:

“Since Biblical times, various astronomical phenomena have been used to establish uniquely Jewish definitions for the day and its hours, the months and the year.  The length of days and hours vary by the season, controlled by the times of sunset, nightfall, dawn and sunrise. The months and years of the Jewish calendar are established by the cycles of the moon and the sun.
Though the months follow the lunar cycle, the lunar months must always align themselves with the seasons of the year, which are governed by the sun. Thus, the Jewish calendar is “Luni-Solar.” The discrepancy between the solar year (365 days) and the lunar year (354 days) was resolved by every so often adding a thirteenth month to the year, to form a “leap year.” In the early times of our history, the High Court (Sanhedrin) in Jerusalem was assigned the tasks of determining the beginning of each month and the balancing of the solar with the lunar years. They relied on direct observation of the New Moon, astronomical data, and other considerations. In the fourth century after the Temple‘s destruction, however, when oppression and persecution threatened the continued existence of the Court, a fixed calendar was instituted — based on the Sanhedrin‘s closely guarded secrets of calendric calculation. This is the permanent calendar according to which the New Moons and festivals are calculated and celebrated today by Jews all over the world.

Like the original system of observation, it is based on the Luni-Solar principle. It also applies certain rules by which complex astronomical calculations are combined with the religious requirements into an amazingly precise system.”  (hat tip Chabad.org)

Another thing to consider: God used His creation to focus us on His Son because He had created His physical works to lead humans to His Eternity. And have eternal bodies and souls. NOT for endless theo-philosophical ruminations. 

Battles between major Catholic apologists, the short earth, long aeonics crowd estimating how many angels fit on a bowling pin head.  But, TIME is a real concept much bandied about.

Reconciliation of time systems: important to understanding our Proud GodFather better.  He wanted EVERYONE to get His Eucharistic Son’s birth announcement

Truth is, Church tradition puts Jesus’ conception AND death on the same Gregorian date:

March 25th.  Godincidence or not, I surmise that, at one time, the coincidence of the Annunciation and Golgotha WAS the spring equinox but for a four day error.  Just a guess.

But as precise as God is in creating clues and sacraments (outward signs instituted by God to provide GRACE), my guess is he would have used the 4 corners of time, the solstices and equinoxes for other purposes than accidents…and anchored them in a real way in Giza.

Why would Mexico City star/constellation charts be built into a cactus cloth that should have deteriorated hundreds of years ago?  AND only discovered in the 20th century.  Or like Secundo Pio the photographer in 1898 discovering the basic truth that Jesus’ burial cloth image is reversed: it is left as a negative that modern photography 130 years ago picked up “accidentally”.  Ironic, the most aggressive investigator of this  Shroud is blind.  Fr Spitzer, the PB&J of theo-scientific study.  He likes that gentle moniker of Physicist, Blind & Jesuit because such a combination is of God, more than of man.

But the Gregorian March 25th translates into Jesus’ death date, something you might recognize superstition around, Friday the 13th day of Abib (Hebrew calendar).  (the father of lies loves to muck up God’s work and create division)

You can figure it out yourself, comparing Deuteronomy, St John and one other old testament book.  Do the research, please!  If Friday the 13th is bad luck for us today, imagine Sunday the 15th,  8 days after Palm Worship Jesus Sunday was terrible luck for the devil and his soldier demons.

Let’s look at the ages, lifespans and births that God used, to reveal His plans to our world:

What do you see, junior bible detectives and smart Catholic apologists?

1) The oldest person on record, Methuselah was born to the shortest living, considered still alive, member of the parade of the patriarchs: Enoch, who was “translated”, taken up to be with the Lord like Elijah later in bible history. 969 vs 365 years old.  No bones, no grave, just gone.

2)  ALL the named patriarchs died BEFORE the flood (or by) except for Noah, who spent 75- 100 years constructing the Ark.  And of course Seth (and his two brothers Ham & Japheth) were born BEFORE the first rains came.

ALL the patriarchs born AFTER the first rainbow was placed in the sky, had life spans LESS than 464 (Mr. Eber, seven up from Abraham) years.

Did you notice they have a real decline in lengths (unless they are symbolic like Sumerian Hyper Methuselahs, which I believe is a cute, easy answer not befitting good scholarship) of lifespans meaning:

Something happened to our human spans, our longevity BECAUSE of a change at the time of the flood.  What is it, fellow researchers?

But, don’t forget the four wives; back then, you needed women to have babies.  Only today, do the bio-challenged leftists chartered with LGBTqxyz Inc. preach that men can have babies.

2a) Notice the “Date of Flood” is coincident with Methuselah and Lamech leaving this 3rd rock from the sun.  Noah is about age 600, with a lot of people, including his criticizers laughing at his inland shipbuilding business.  Noah, the nut, the first “sky is falling” chicken little.

But before you know it, soon the population will be reduced to 8.  For you number nuts like me, 8 IS Jesus’ number, the number of rejuvenation, renovation, renaissance…AND Resurrection.  In various parts of salvation history.  See it pictured below, translating the letters in Greek of Iesous into the letters assigned numbers.

Three 8’s (888) gets you Jesus’ name, in the alphanumeric language.  God weaves within His well woven Creation so much to be discovered!!  Like you are doing reading this, hopefully and your other studies.

Can it be, in the Greek, Jesus is 888?

2b) Ever read “The Waters Above”?  Thick book, lots of math and physics: it’s theory is there was a worldwide atmospheric water vapor canopy and the first rains were when the first rains occurred, just after the Ark was locked up with its precious cargo. 

The idea is, the worldwide global atmosphere WAS universally warm, a spherical water vapor canopy, of sorts, keeping cellular killers like toxic X rays,  and other Cosmic Rays, and direct sunlight out. Minimizing cellular degeneration (aging!). Possible?  Well, the much maligned fossil fuel inspired atmospheric gases has water vapor today at 3-4%, a lot more than those insulting God that man’s 12 androgenic CO2 molecules per one million non man made air molecules (12:1,000,000) melt the earth.

I can hear you!  That’s the Algorean heresy amount; the nomimal, if you have a calculator or abacus, is the actual concentration of carbon dioxide (supposedly melting the earth) is ONE (1) uno CO2 molecule per every 2500 total air (1:2500)What has this to do with Holy Family flights?  Ask the interfaith environmental committee ruminations as they try to ‘care for creation’, missing the obvious.  Wanna care for the poor? Open up natural gas to their 3rd world use!

One proof seemingly irrelevant: Few can explain the undigested ferns in wholly mammoths in Siberia, if not a worldwide tropics all of a sudden disappeared, the super SPF sun screen was gone, and instantaneously, Siberia became what it is today:  Cold, really cold!

Those found there, are a  frozen exhibit that quick freeze feature necessary to ‘discover’ tropical plants in animal tummies way up North.  INSIDE of dead fossils (not to be confused with God’s excellent gifts of fossil fuels like natural gas and refine-able oil)  Calm down world: God gifted us with natural gas, it’s ok to have multiple and varied sources of energy, ‘renewable’ or God gifted; especially since our beloved Pope Francis’ LOVE for the poor family is BEST serviced by freeing cheap natural gas to each 3rd world enclave.  I know the Algorean Al Gore, Kamala, John Fing Kerry hate it but ask God.  Really ask God:

“Why did you bury trillions of acre-feet of low low polluting, high energy co-efficent CH4 energy if not for our use?”  Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH₄. It is a group-14 hydride, the simplest alkane, and the main constituent of natural gas. The abundance of methane on Earth makes it an economically attractive fuel, although capturing and storing it is difficult because it is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.

Back to “Who’ll stop the rains?” a great song.

After all, the rainbow that followed the first rains wouldn’t have been unique and symbolic if it was seen at multiple rain storms previous to the massive world morphing deluge.  In fact, I doubt Kamala would have waved it from the back deck of the parade convertible she rode in.  OR Anaheim would display those prismatic colors on its city hall.

A little deductive reasoning yields it was the First sky clearing rains, and thus the first rainbow.  As it is, rainbows require the prismatic spectrum slicing feature we see today.  Water in the atmosphere.

Let alone, stolen by the anti-God gender redux crowd.  It was important to God’s promise, thus a target for His fallen evil general angel satan.  Today, the godless parade around with their multi-hue rainbow flags as often as they park mobile abortion & vasectomy vans outside hell’s summer political celebration in Chicago.

3)  It is written, and more importantly, Jesus CONFIRMED in His time, that God ordered the massive deluge, rains and continent shifting torrents to rid the earth of the corrupted human race.  I am glad I am NOT God and thankful for His Divine Mercy.  You should be thankful I am NOT God, too.

Listen to our Savior, the Divine Historian:

“For as it was in the days of Noah…
   … so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38  In [those] days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. 39 They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be [also] at the coming of the Son of Man.”

This tells us Noah was a REAL person, a real patriarch, in a real society.  Lived 950 years, 350 after the worldwide hydrogenic wash out.

Jesus tells us Noah “entered the ark.”  So, maybe Trent and Scott can answer this: how long DID the patriarchs live, if not 969,777, 365 or other odd numbers?  Is it really just easier to say they are symbolic, aberrational dart to the target guesses?

Remember, no one today lives to 120 years, the drop dead date God gave for the boat launch; i’ll spare you the theories, but the Noah Shipbuilding LLC was in operation for 50-75, maybe a few more years.  Talk about a source of derision in the desert!

Who sane person builds for decades a huge shell of a ship?

Talk about a life and race saving boat 1 1/2 football fields long.

Noah entered with this family at age 600, conjecture and scholarship says shortly after, Methuselah and Lamech died.

The first child of the new Noahic covenant was Arphaxad, and he only lived to 438 years, much less than his long-lived ancestors.  What happened in Noah’s time.  If Methuselah had NOT died, why wouldn’t Noah bring his great grandfather on board?

Could it be, the subject of kid’s story books, was more than a sprinkling: it was a major restructuring of life spans coincident with 100% change of nature?  You’ve heard of Pangean continental closeness?  Looking at today’s globe, it seems plausible, more than allegorical ages and billions of years.

After the world’s longest ship construction project, the remnant eight (Noah, the sons and the four wives) finally entered the Ark.  The animals safe and secure and the massive floodliner was sealed for the ride.

4)  Exactly why Trent, Scott and other smart Catholic apologists are hung up on ancients not recording birthdays, bar mitzvahs,  ages, mystifies me.  God only knows, like Star Trek’s Kahn, if the ancients had intellects far superior to us today.  But you don’t need a PhD to keep track of family histories.

My 11 kids are recorded: we have birth certificates and celebrate their birthdays every 365.242 solar days (off for Leap years) religiously. Families ARE the domestic church, not any political party, school enrollments or garden club but the womb of life for the Church.  God designed the family for the purpose of educating the young, training them in good character and healthy habits.  And getting them to heaven, ALL of them.

For example, when Scott Hahn’s wife, Kim, became the Godmother of my niece, Genevieve, her witness was recorded duly in their local Eastern US parish, the date listed on the parish’s book for baptisms, first communions and Confirmations.  Each time my niece received a recordable sacrament, it went to the book of the original parish.

This was decades ago, as was #11 Katrina’s first confession with Bishop Brown 14 years ago.  Would it be any harder for people living 100s of years to record the same?  Look at the colorful early mankind family chart above.  Not too many numbers rounded to a 100?

Also, with these excessively long life spans by today’s standards, with long child bearing years, the population probably increased exponentially, ie MULTIPLIED not added.  Anyone guess how many drowned when God was really ticked off at us? Estimates range from a few thousand, to a million to a billion.

Transition Conjecture:

We have the lineage from Noah to Jesus through both Mary and Joseph’s, both members of the lineage of David, in two different Gospels.  Were these estimations as well, Scott and Trent?  For completeness, both Mary and Joseph were descendants of David, thus the City of David for the census.  In Luke, Joseph’s lineage.

23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel,[a] the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.   

Mary’s lineage is traced in Matthew:

Sooo…did Jesus ‘meet’ His Heavenly GodFather’s Gift built in stone at an early age?

Did the Holy Family’s night time flight first head directly to Cairo area, skirting the Middle Earth (Mediterranean) Sea where a Jewish community already existed in Egypt. You can Google Earth or travel map as I have below.

They would have seen their Holy Son’s birth announcement Gift from the Father implanted at the world’s exact center and being the world’s largest object, unmistakably in sight!

Suppose Giza was a huge prefigurement of Jesus’ final return as the Altar?  The Family left Bethlehem immediately after the Magi headed out NOT returning to Herod.  They made a beeline to Egypt.  Evidentially, for the quickest route, they would have followed the line 270 miles to the SouthWest, skirted the Middle Earth (Mediterranean) Sea and arrived at the Jewish community that had escaped from Israel area previously.

Monday of the Third Week of Advent, December 17, 2018 - Claretian ...

Anyways, I propose the Holy Family saw the world’s largest Eucharistic birth reveal (usually after knowing the baby’s sex, NOT 2600 years before) when they took a flight to Egypt. 

Important?  You tell me.

The Angel told Joseph to leave immediately from Bethlehem, at NIGHT.

In Egypt, Mary and Son, with Joseph, the amazing stepfather are riding their donkey and come into Fostat, a suburb north of Cairo and see Giza, better known in its original as “Border Fire in the Middle”.

Giza means “border”, Pyra=fire and midos=middle.  It is only 270 miles away from Bethlehem, the town the Holy Family left, following the Magi visit.  The line from Giza to Bethlehem is a vector 26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds and ironically, it is BUILT INTO THE GIZA INTERIOR based on the measurable passageway angle to ground.  NO accident.  And Giza is extremely accurate as a compass.

We know the Giza is only off 3 seconds of arc from top dead center North. Mathematically, that’s 3 seconds out of 1.296 million seconds in a circle.  360d x 60min x 60sec = 1,296,000 seconds.  Translation for the math challenged: that is MORE accurate than any observatory on earth or 99.999769% accurate as the world’s largest compass.

Wait, the Giza, ie main Pyramid means what? Border Middle Fire.  How so?

The graphic of the inner workings of Giza. It sits on a flat granite mountain and maintains accuracy, only off 3 seconds of arc.

When you take a math class, you assume a “pyramid” is a four sided 3d object, NOT a “fire in the middle”?   Len, what ARE you smoking?  So, lay out where the Holy Family spent time in the land of the pharoahs.  It might surprise you as part of salvation history.

Different scenarios explain where the Holy Family lived in Egypt for those years of banishment.

From EWTN/CNA  Nicholas de Cardenas:

St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and the child Jesus traveled more than 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) from the time they fled to Egypt to escape the massacre of boys 2 years old and younger ordered by Herod, to their arrival in Nazareth, according to an expert.  The Gospel according to St. Matthew narrates how after the Magi had left Bethlehem, “an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt.’”
There they had to remain until further notice because “Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him” (Mt 2:13).
Cayetana H. Johnson, professor of Aramaic and Hebrew Language at the San Dámaso Ecclesiastical University in Madrid, told ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language sister news agency, that the Holy Family stayed in Egypt for about four years, according to tradition, and that in their journey there and back “they traveled more than 2,000 kilometers.”
“Although the route followed by the Holy Family is not recorded in the Bible, Coptic Christians have identified some 25 places where they believe Mary, Joseph, and Jesus stayed during their sojourn in Egypt,” the expert said.   (author’s note:  this is why my claim they traveled back in a straight line to the Father’s huge marker monument, maybe following the brilliant light from its 144,000 mirror bright cover stones.  It’s only 270 miles BEthlehem to Giza)
It is believed that “the ruins of an ancient church in Farma (Pelusium) and four monasteries in Wadi Natrun mark stages in their journey through the Nile Delta,” she said.

View of the Deir al-Surian monastery (photo: Angelica Tarnowska)

The Monastery

This has been reflected in some artistic works, she said: “In Deir al-Suriani (The Monastery of the Syrians, in Wadi Natrun)  fresco from the sixth century shows Mary nursing the child Jesus.”
When Herod the Great died, an angel again appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead” (Mt 2:20).
Thus, “the Holy Family took the road back to the Dronka Mountain” where a monastery was later built in honor of the Virgin.  From there, “they arrived in Old Cairo after Matarieh, then traveled to Al Mahatma, Sinai, and finally entered the Holy Land to settle in the town of Nazareth in Galilee,” Johnson related.    What is located near Cairo?  The Father’s Giza Pyramid which translates as the Border Fire in the Middle (details later)

A large Jewish community in Egypt: there’s NO evidence the Family lived in caves hiding from Herod.  They were protected in a like-minded immigrant community and of course, the Father and His angels kept an eye on things.

At that time in Egypt “there was a large Jewish community” because, according to the experts, “relations between Israel and the country of the pharaohs were historically more positive than negative.”
Egypt was already part of the Roman Empire for some 30 years prior, after the defeat of Marc Antony and Cleopatra by Octavian Cesar Augustus.  The significant presence of Jews in Egypt dates back to the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 B.C.
Johnson explained that “six months after the appointment of Gedeliah as governor of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar (king of Babylon), Ishmael (a descendant of the king of Judah) murdered Gedeliah in Mizpah (cf. 2 Kings 25:22–26).”
Fearing reprisals, all the Israelites from Mizpah fled to Egypt, “taking the prophet Jeremiah with them.” These Jewish communities settled in “Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis Μέμφις, in the Nile Delta region of Lower Egypt. (Memphis was the capital 15 miles south of modern Cairo)
Another take on the flight from Herod; from the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart:
“It was on the seventeenth of February, fifty five days after the birth of Jesus (Note: the term 1 A.D. is applied to the last seven days of the calendar year when Our Lord was born, and to the twelve months of the calendar year that followed them), when King Herod’s soldiers — sent to slaughter all little boys in Bethlehem and its neighborhood who were two years old or under, in order to get rid of Jesus — were getting perilously near the cave at Bethlehem, where at first they little expected Our Lord to be, that Saint Joseph and Our Lady set off with their Divine Child, left the land of the Jews and went off to a land of the Gentiles. They took no one with them, by way of servants or friends, as Saint Peter Chrysologus tells us. The town to which the Holy Family fled was called Fostat; also known as Fustat, which later became the first capital of the Muslim empire.
It was three hundred miles from Bethlehem (could be true since Bethlehem to the world’s largest object is 270 miles. Prove it yourself using Google Maps)   A church has been erected there, on the site of the house where the Holy Family lived during their exile. The little town where the Holy Family stayed in Egypt was not far from Heliopolis, a city in which — when Jesus, Mary and Joseph passed through it — statues of pagan gods crashed to the ground. Both Fostat/Fustat and Heliopolis are not far from Cairo in Egypt.”  Close enough to see or travel past the Giza Pyramid?  Fascinating!

Is the Giza Pyramid the Proud GodFather’s gift to us, to direct us to His Eucharistic Son and other fascinating things?  Time for details on this incredible monument befitting a King and Savior.

Interesting.  We don’t seem to realize it yet, but Giza may have played a bigger role in Salvation History.  It is NOT a grave for a pharoah, yet it is the most measured building in the world.  It helped Sir Isaac Newton rationalize his gravitational laws using a specific yardstick, actually “inch-stick” inside.

How Giza appear before the earthquake of 1303, which loosened the mirror finish casing stones. Most of the 144,000 have been removed and used elsewhere for mosques,minarets etc.

Scott, Fr Spitzer,  and two Horns, Trent and a great Premonstratensian Fr Holy Joe Horn: give me a few minutes before you tell me I’m full of theologic doo doo.

I don’t want to ruin your movie shelf or presuppositions, but Giza remains a multi-function structure, that NO pharoah was buried in. A bit disheveled after the removal of brilliant cover stones, but still majestic, it’s God inspired measurements still virtually intact.

Unlike ALL the Giza Plateau copies, also named pyramids, it had UNDERGROUND passages and precision few of the others could match.

I contend the others are counterfeits to glamorize the egos of leaders who believed they were gods, like Ra. But Giza is unique, created by a forward thinking GodFather, to point to a city and His Eucharistic Son 4600 years into the future.  And possibly, to be the beacon that Joseph, the protector of the first Domestic Church, followed to safety.

Sorry, Egyptologists, the King of Egypt is now in heaven and still loves the land He was sent to for a few years.  Read the Isaiah verses below.  Not talking about the Egyptian king, Menelaus who united the two Egypts so that Giza could be at both the Border and the Middle  (Lower and Upper) as mentioned in Isaiah 19:19-20, not too often read at Mass.

To help our adventurers, here’s the Scripture to decipher:

“On that day there shall be an altar to the LORD at the center of Egypt, and a sacred pillar to the LORD near its boundary.  This will be a sign and witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt, so that when they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior to defend and deliver them”

Let’s  look at some physical facts about Giza and a few conjectures.

1) Giza sits at the exact center of the world on a solid granite stone mountain.  Really?  You draw two worldwide lines; one east west and touch the MOST land possible; then another north south, touching the most God created land as well.  These lines cross in two places: one is in the middle of the ocean.  The other?

The other lines cross on land, at, guess what, gentlemen and ladies: Giza near Cairo.  Ask Fr. Peters, I showed it to him on his geodesic wall map decades ago.  It really IS where Giza sits since about 4600 years ago (there’s that 4600 number again).  This would make it a center of the world marker.  Don’t we see Jesus as the Center of History (AD, BC), Center of our Lives, of the Altar…even Center of our Lives. Only God could locate the center of all land and mark it permanently 46 centuries ago.  Few Egypt or Israeli Airlines back then. Or Musk starlink satellites…

Not to mention:

Giza is a true compass, facing North East South West with a precision we can’t match even with recent observatories.  Let me explain: a circle is 360 degrees; each degree can be divided into 60 minutes and each minute divided into 60 seconds. That’s 1,296,000 seconds in a full circle. It’s build goes back to 2623BC and scholars believe it was  “commissioned” when the North Star shown down 344 feet to the bottom of the descending passage, BELOW ground level, in 2141BC.  The other time we know a North Star shown to the bottom was: 2007AD. Interesting?

Even with its brilliant mirrored hard white limestone facing the sun, most of the 144,000 cover or casing stones, gone and now in mosques and minarets around the Middle East: it is off only 3 SECONDS of arc.  3 out of 1,296,000 ‘seconds’ of arc.

Similar to a map Fr Peters had on the wall in his office

2) 36,524 inch perimeter.  Cart before horse: pyra-midos’ shape does not match its name?  did the geometric shape get its name from Giza or not?

Each of its four sides’ base measures 9131 sacred Jewish or pyramid inches. 9131.  times four, you get 36524.  Anything significant about this number (Sorry brilliant Matt, math again)?  How about more accurate than our common parlance of 365 1/4 days in a solar year.

3)  It is a “square circle”. Sorry, Fr Joe! you are the keen mathematician but remember, God IS the Supreme Omni-Scientist and Math is one of His favorite disciplines:  When you divide its perimeter (36524) by its height 11626 inches, you get 3.14157922.  Ok, accurate for Pi only to five significant digits.

But don’t forget, a true solar year is 365.242 days, another 5 digits of significance built into the 3 million multi-ton stone structure. Did God do this?  I don’t think it’s from the 15 million aliens coming across our border OR from outer space: I believe God designed and/or built it.

Some scholars claim Enoch was the foreman, but the Architect had to be an eternal omniscient Being.  We don’t know, but it contains things that appear supernatural in origin.  Like the two carvings inside the entrance.

4) As a Pillar of Fire(Fire in the Middle?)  Alluding to 3 hours of darkness at the crucifixion, Giza at high noon on the Spring Equinox has ZERO shadow. Yet, at dawn and dusk on the solstices, Giza appears to have 8 sides!   Like a sundial, you need the sun SHINING to work.

Imagine the world’s largest block building with no shadow, meaning it had its MAXIMUM light as the seasons changed.  Scientists: There are only two moments each year when neither pole points toward the Sun, and the Sun lies directly above Earth’s equator. These moments are the equinoxes

5) Physical Map of the Earth’s Surface Giza has an unusual curvature that matches that of the earth, discovered 70 years ago.  How could the pharoah Kufu had the astronomical genius to build all these things in?  He didn’t.  Only God does!

6) Missing Cornerstone.  This is a biggie. Most of the 118 other copies, the Egyptian pyramids, once had silver/gold top pieces like a cap to the grave.  Giza was designed without a cover or cornerstone, about 30 sf of a flat surface: in fact, it looks like an altar. There is a 19th century metal device added to “complete” the pyramid.  What would an altar be doing in Egypt?  You might ask Isaiah!

Anyone can do this! Google map the route/distance between Bethlehem and the Great Pyramid of Giza.  Notice the Christ angle skirts the Middle Earth (Mediterranean) Sea.  The angle built IN Giza (26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds) is the same as above, the descending and ascending passages

7)  Christ? Angle. what’s that?  The entry/descending passage (and ascending as well) has been measured:  26 degrees 18 minutes 9.63 seconds.  The entrance, discovered after the seamless surface was hacked into, is up 17 steps from the ground level. 17 often stands for “victory” in Biblical terms.  Like 40(Lent, desert) stands for probation, testing.

8)  The Angle is interesting: since the entrance passage faces north, when it is “laid down” to the east, it points directly 270 miles away, skirting the Middle Earth (Tolkien?) Mediterranean Sea and pointing to an ancient, minor yet major city: the House of Bread. Our Muslims call it the House of Meat, but salvation history favors Beth’Lehem and as we see a resurgence of the Real Presence, the House of the Bread of Life.    The House of the Eucharist.

Recall, Bethlehem is 5 miles away from the City of Peace, but as the Scripture reveals (Micah 5:1):

* But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, least among the clans of Judah,
From you shall come forth for me, one who is to be ruler in Israel;
Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.”

A great reference to the Eucharistic Only Son of the Proud GodFather.

9)  Two interior markings and one red granite coffer.  We should point out, for its size, it is pretty empty of carvings, hieroglyphics etc.;only pyramid with below ground passages.   No pharoah is named because it never was a tomb.  It has a red granite coffer, that Godincidentally matches the same dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant. (the physical one NOT our Virgin Mary)

There is a line scoring the tunnel/passageway near the entrance.  And a map scale: the pyramid inch that Newton used to rationalize his gravitational laws.

Does an accurate inch have that much power?  You, again tell me.

10)  One inch = one year.  Scholars have proposed that it has, among its various purposes, to be a prophetic device for the ages of the Gentiles AND Israel.  Is this far fetched?  Not really.  Consider 600+ prophecies on parchment; what’s wrong with some written in stone like the 10 Commandments.

11)  An 8 sided Altar?!   The top of the structure features a flat area that in the 19th century a metal “quadpod” was erected to  demonstrate what was NOT designed in: a peak at the top

Notice the spider looking object on the “altar top” Added by scientists to “complete” the geometric object. UNLESS God wanted it and designed it…

This flat area could suffice as an altar.  You, yes you can do the same. This is a Google Earth view of the top of Giza today.  You can see the rough exterior surface (no cover stones, no cornerstone on top) due to Giza becoming a Home Depot?Loews masonry yard, that over centuries, the precision cut stones were stolen for other uses.

Recently discovered, at the two solstices, at dawn and dusk, the 4 sided Giza appears to have eight (8) sides, due to shadowing related to this astronomical phenomena. And you may know, Jesus’ name translates numerically to 888 in an ancient language.

12) MORE Math & Physics Mysteries of Giza

On the Spring Equinox, the sun rises over Bethlehem.  If you stand on the altar top,you can see this phenomenon 270 miles away.

The average height of the earth’s surfaces are measured out in Giza.

13)  Pangea.

Pangea is a term derived from Ancient Greek pan (πᾶν, “all, entire, whole”) and Gaia or Gaea (Γαῖα, “Mother Earth, land”).  OK, i know, mother earth makes great ST Francis song lyrics or a butter TV commercial, but…our mother is Mary, not mother nature.

 The concept that the continents once formed a contiguous land mass was hypothesized, with corroborating evidence, by Alfred Wegener, the originator of the scientific theory of continental drift, in his 1912 publication The Origin of Continents (Die Entstehung der Kontinente) (from Wiki)

One look at a globe today, any reasonable person can see cognitively there is a ragged jigsaw puzzle nature of the continents position and shapes, and how they could have fit together at one time.  Just a theory, but…Or maybe God’s design originally WAS one supercontinent. Recall the tower of babel days with everyone speaking the same language? From the site answersingenesis.com:

“The Tower of Babel incident occurred around 4,200 years ago—about 100 years after the Flood but before Abraham was born, This was before ancient Egypt, Greece, and other early civilizations. These places couldn’t have begun until after people left Babel to establish these other civilizations.”

Is it important to know that the Holy Family traveled to Cairo area, near the Father’s monumental gift,compass, altar, prophetic tool and more?  Well, answer me this: millions watch a program called “Chosen”.  Is THAT critical to your faith?  Or if we can substantiate the thesis of this “paper”, maybe your faith CAN increase with another sacramental.

Just suppose, as scientifically anchored to Jesus’ life and death Giza is, just suppose that line from Giza to Bethlehem goes BOTH ways, pointing west to where Joseph would take Mary and his foster Son.  Below is the ‘translation” of Greek letters to numeric values:   notice “Jesus” in Greek has the value of 888, as mentioned above

——————————————need your help!——————————-

If you want more of the story, I have embarked on the cause for discovering more about what I surmise is a proud GodFather’s  gift re: His Only Eucharistic Son.  Your comments are definitely welcome; this is an ongoing effort, just as the Shroud of Jerusalem, Edessa and Turin continues under the bright lights of Truth

Cardinal McElroy& beloved bishops: Catholic Homeschooling is a choice NOT a crime..lifestyle worth pursuing

Newest U.S. cardinal: A San Diego-based ally of Pope Francis - The San ...Revised 9/28/24  Angels weekend  st michael’s feast day  10/11/24    Feast of St Callistus I, Oct 14 revision  Revised  10/1/2025

All good things come from God”  ~Deacon Rick on St Michael’s Feast day/Sunday

Basic Truth: “EVERY Catholic family homeschools their child from birth. Every parent.”

Cardinal McElroy and other beloved Bishops, Priests and laity:

Here’s my simple offer:

Your excellency, Cardinal McElroy, I offer to help for free should you convene a meeting to get it ALL out on the table.  I’ll bring refreshments, just tell me the expected number. 

I recommend you find ground zero, choose the parish where most of the “tension” is centered and give me a chance to refill the hole you are digging.   Absolutely no arrogance, just humbly offering because unity and peace both need hard work to attain.   Attaining parish, let alone world peace, is more than a beauty pageant line. 

It IS attainable and then maybe more time to address other less important issues of declining parish attendance, 150 Catholic hospitals nationally performing satanic rituals on young daughters, spaying them like junkyard dogs and turning them into suicidal eunuchs who can’t nurse the child she will never see born from her womb.  Minor diocesan issues like that.     In His service,  Len   40 year homeschooling dad of 11

The time is now for candid discussions and dialogue as the Church attempts to  follow Christ’s admonition to Giovanni at San Damiano:  “rebuilt My Church”.  In fact, to “build back better” makes sense.  One anecdotal

Some people I know approached their Orange County parish school recently about enrolling their kindergartener in the school. In their discussions, they found out the school does not have daily Mass, something that makes sense for a Catholic school attached to a parish church. When queried, the administrator said “they don’t because we don’t want to offend our non-Catholic students and their families.”

Let that sink in: the Cardinal doesn’t want “competition” for his parish schools; homeschooling is a different choice but significantly different than a parish based facilities and team, although competition is not an evil thing.

Like the real example above, we open our CATHOLIC schools to other faiths, but don’t want to offend the Shieks or zoroastrians or muslims or jews by being a Catholic institution doing Catholic things.

Needless to say, the mom was not happy and gave words to the administrators they were interviewing.

Cardinal, you’re in need of some serious fact finding and research before you lose more people.

Still hoping “school choice” can be prodded into place in California, because the billions being spent on transgender operations managers, etc is frankly evil at its core.  The money is the people, Catholic and otherwise, and the parents should direct where their funds go.  Even $10,000 of the $26K spent yearly on ANY student claiming to be Californian would do wonders for all schools including Catholic parish, alternatives etc.

 

 

 

=========new material since first publication+++++++==========================

“Following up on the initial announcements (banning homeschoolers from parish property), Cardinal McElroy issued a statement in October suggesting home schooling is providing “a parallel educational model” with Catholic schools that the diocese can’t and shouldn’t endorse.”

Wow, would someone take his XLNC’s giant shovel away from him before he hurts himself and more of his deeply Catholic parishioners.  The ancient canon rule applies: “when you are digging the hole way too deep, stop digging.”

“He expressed concern about home-school cooperatives “seeking to establish programs on parish sites” that include “religious formation or sacramental preparation programs within the parish setting that are dedicated specifically for home-school students.” 

Another oops! Oh my! Catholic parents teaching Catholic faith ON THE SACRED grounds of a San Diego parish. 

Truth IS told: homeschool families DO teach faith, religion, physics, Latin often, French sometimes, analytic geometry, GOOD science  and other core subjects.

  For the misunderstood Cardinal’s edification, when Donna and I were DRE, FFdirs & youth ministry staff at different parishes in the Orange diocese, though our 11 were domicilic schooled in basic Catholic teachings, we registered our kids in the appropriate religious ed levels AT our parish.  We didn’t hide out from the parish because it was OUR parish.  In fact, we worked twice as hard to meld well, and support the other educational alternatives (parish school, Spanish religious ed and our DRE&YM responsibilities at St Anthony Claret, for example).  We looked at the parish as a lot more than education. Most homeschool families today do as well.

“According to the cardinal, this “has become a source of tension within the diocese.”

Tension is something capable adults can deal with, especially if they dialogue with the others with different opinions of what defines a parish. 

Tension is not evil necessarily; without tension, a guitar or piano emits noise not succinct harmonious notes.  Tension, like pain, can signal something else is going on.  When on St Michael’s feast day Sept 29th this year, what I thought was heartburn turned out to be a blessing: I had a rolling mild heart attack.  By 11 o clock Monday, Kaiser’s Dr Ravi Shankar cardiologist and his “cath” lab team spent 30 minutes going up my wrist artery, unblocking (thankfully only one blockage) an artery at the heart, installing a stent and rolling me out for the next angiogram recipient.  I watched the whole thing and Dr Ravi (NOT the Beatles’ sitar player) only once said “Len, shut up”.  I did.  Technology like tension can be a blessing if USED FOR GOOD.

“But the new policy goes beyond religious education, barring all home-school programs from parish property.

Cardinal McElroy said the diocese’s presbyteral council (which includes the bishops and several priests of the diocese) voted 13-1 in favor of the new policy banning home-schoolers around mid-September and that he approved it.

My uninformed guess is the presbyters did NOT have any dads and moms with 5, 7 or 11 kids to offer wisdom before the Monty Python pronouncement, to hear their joys AND struggles before the gavel resounded “OFF with their heads”. 

 Do THEY have a clue they are stewards, not landlords, of God’s generous previous generations who built most of the school buildings on parish plots.  In Orange, for example and for 501c3 reasons, the RCBO, Roman Catholic Bishop of Orange, owns the 143 properties throughout the outlined Orange County.  Yet, like the Sistine Chapel& Pope Francis, our beloved Bishop Vann can’t take them to heaven to put adjacent to the mansion God will build for him.

“The Diocese supports the decision of a growing number of parents to choose home schooling for their children.

Really?  Talk seems to be inexpensive these days.  Instead of embracing this successful change paralleling similar changes to our society, we see marginalization as a by-product of ignorance.

“At the same time this support does not include a right for basing integral elements of home-schooling programs in parish settings. Home schooling is not inherently a ministry of the parish,” Cardinal McElroy said his statement. “As a consequence, home-school programs will not be provided designated special access to the parish facilities of the Diocese of San Diego.”

Are homeschooled Catholic families allowed to attend Mass and even put a few coins in the collection basket under this foolish ban?  Does his eminence have a clue how interrelated so many homeschool families already are in parish family life with other parishioners? Is the Knights of Columbus, or alcoholics anonymous, maybe MOMS programs, scouting (if not banned yet) and other excellent groups allowed usage WHEN available.  Why not members of the diocese and/or parish?

“The new statement from Cardinal McElroy follows on the earlier announcement from the diocese that home-school programs are barred from using parish facilities “both because such usage can undermine the stability of nearby Catholic schools and lead people to think that the Church is approving and advancing particular alternative schools and programs.”

But Harold said in her letter that using parish facilities for home-schooling cooperatives has been valuable to help her “in connecting with other women, and connecting my children with other children, to form Catholic communities based around our parishes where we can supplement our home-based education with social events and extracurricular classes.”

She told Cardinal McElroy that she offered him her letter in the spirit of what she described as the cardinal’s “many words you have spoken in support of a listening, synodal Church.”

“I know that you are committed to listening to those on the margins, whose voices are not often heard by the leaders of the institutional Church, and that you value the opinions of the women who too often sit silently in the pews,” she wrote. “I feel confident that you will read this message graciously and respond with the loving heart of a good shepherd.”

(Mrs.) Harold told the Register that her letter has gotten about 250 co-signers, most of them women.

Women are people too!!   And I think Jesus would have left the 99 to go find the 100th lost homeschooled lamb barred from the shepherd’s field and flock

“The NCRegister asked a spokesman for the diocese for comment on the letter Thursday morning, but did not hear back by publication. The Register has also asked for an interview with a diocesan official about the new home-schooling policy but has not yet heard back.”  Sadly, as usual.

 

 

 

Previously:=========================================================

It’s time we had this discussion as a Church, not fiefdoms of special interests and moat surrounded programs.

To use an agricultural analogy, stop digging the hole deeper; the better analogous comparison, comes from tennis: stop these unforced errors no one needs, especially your dioceses’ struggling Catholic families trying to eck out a living during hell’s reign in the Obamanation of Desolators’ DC.…Meanwhile with a hierarchy trying to heal from mortal wounds of a small minority of self-inflicted sinfulness.  IF currently, any clerical abuse is happening, OR any lay illicit divorce, STOP IT NOW!! The cost is too high and climbing.  BUT STOP! As if our ETERNITIES depend on it. 

They do!

This dad thinks the Sunday of Medad and Eldad in Moses/Joshua’s time is perfect to follow the firestorm of ignorance started  Thurs.  Cardinal McElroy, please reflect on these words and look in the same mirror we ALL must look in: 

“It’s NOT about me,” popularized in the youth ministry anagram “Forget about Me, I love You”.  The anagram for FAMiLY

“Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp, “
Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’ aide, said,
“Moses, my lord, stop them.”
But Moses answered him,
“Are you jealous for my sake?
Would that all the people of the LORD were prophets!
Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!”   

Jesus in the Gospel echoes this sentiment well; others, when they teach Truth should not be denied.  In English, NOT locked out of our parishes because they are the unwashed homeschoolers not fitting the mold of the 1960s thru today.

THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE 3D PARISH BOUNDARIES; WE JUST NEED ROOM IN THE HEARTS OF THE PRELATES AND PAROCHIAL PARENTS.

At that time, John said to Jesus,
“Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”
Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.
Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
because you belong to Christ,
amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
it would be better for him if a great millstone
were put around his neck
and he were thrown into the sea.

Your excellency, I forgive your misunderstanding what the rejuvenated homeschooling movement of the last decades is all about.  I believe you have been steered by others who ARE ignorant.  Homeschooling was blossoming already and just accelerated via Covid, the Lock Outs of the 2020s and the turning away from solid Catholic teaching

Jesus continued to call for a return to purity, precision and truth telling:

“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
It is better for you to enter into life maimed
than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
into the unquenchable fire.
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
It is better for you to enter into life crippled
than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'”

Gehenna, just south of Jerusalem, was dedicated to Moloch and had become the trash and sewage valley derided by the Jews in Jesus’ time; and our Savior wasn’t kidding: it would be better, if your hands are dangerous, become like my friend and brother Tony Melendez harmless and armless and have them surgically removed.  You could even cut a deal with those demonic gender affirming changeologist surgeons public schools refer students to,  to remove both limbs, as well as the breasts and vaginas, as a side job.

Time IS short and we have plenty of souls to save by the Body and Blood of the Lamb with the Spirit’s inspiration.  Jesus could “tarry” another millennia or two, should the Father be patient with our declining multiplication of new borns (2/3) and abortions (1/3 the US population dead). Or come back to earth physically in God~human form He left one Ascension Thursday.

After all, the Father did/have build/built a monument to His Beloved Eucharistic Son just a few miles from where the Holy Family was forced to emigrate to, near Cairo, 4600 years ago.  Whether bishops or laity, understand its significance as of yet, I can’t say; but soon maybe as our scholars & researchers focus on the Center of the World.

By the way, fellow Catholic, please pray for my #4 of 11 homeschooled offspring, Larissa who is destined for open heart surgery for valve replacement unless the miracle arrives before the cardiologist opens her up.  I am eternally grateful.

We all should agree this decade has had its share of unforced errors in Church ministry and decisions, not in the least emulating Pentecost 0033’s LOCK IN, like a popular youth ministry activity from the past; this decade’s, involved locking OUT faithful Catholics on Pentecost 2020&2021 under the authority of the godless, pseudoscientific crowd.  Let’s not add “banish the homeschooling unwashed” to the pile, please.   Simple truths make it simpler to solve.  Let’s reason together, ordained and lay, to better understand each other

My credentials are easily shared:  as a dad of 11 and being PapaLen to 22 grandkids so far, we have also Catholic homeschooled for 40+ years; still helping today at a local homeschooling coop (my #11 just turned 21) and acting as an ambassador to help non homeschoolers, priests and bishops better understand there really is no conflict except that self administered.

Frankly, in my home diocese of Orange, we are blessed with tremendous cooperation with parish and diocesan leadership.  But, like other things in life, that can change on a widow’s mite.

Dr Erin, the Catholic parish based schools super, has seen and is trying to do her best; I have offered to sit down and make suggestions; we will do this when SHE not thee is ready.

Harmony is possible; chaos doesn’t need to reign, beloved bishops and cardinals!! And truth be told, this decade’s explosion of families choosing the LIFESTYLE of home based Catholic ed is a blessing to the greater Church, the Grand Commissioning to spread the Gospel.

AND, once parish schools families understand homeschoolers are not evil, AND VICE VERSA, they are more prone not to complain should an occasional coop or HS family ask to use the chem lab or less used multi purpose room.  God forbid!

By the way, looking at unforced errors, my homeschooling and parish staff credentials, at least, cannot be dismissed like my NEC credentials were on July 19th in Indianapolis’ at the National Eucharistic Congress at high noon.

Things happen as we serve the Church: I was threatened with arrest if I did not let them escort me directly to the streets.  The so-called Hugs N Roses acts of Catholic Kindness scenario. Truth for another time but symptomatic of a Church that has lost some of its moorings; yet, I believe, as enough do, that a Renaissance of Love, Joy and Hope is coming.  There are enough of us in the Church to rededicate ourselves to actually, actively becoming fearless and bold yet again, to help as many people as St Therese wants in heaven.  ALL!

Laws of the Church.

Important, is understanding what Church tradition and the CCCatechism tells us: per CatholicVote article: “The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in paragraph 2223 that “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children” and later in 2226 that “Parental catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith,” adding that the parish is “the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families.” 

But I prefer the original words IN the CCC:

CCC 2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues. This requires an apprenticeship in self-denial, sound judgment, and self-mastery – the preconditions of all true freedom.

Parents should teach their children to subordinate the “material and instinctual dimensions to interior and spiritual ones.”1 Parents have a grave responsibility to give good example to their children. By knowing how to acknowledge their own failings to their children, parents will be better able to guide and correct them:
He who loves his son will not spare the rod. .. He who disciplines his son will profit by him.2
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.3

Incredibly succinct as to roles of parents and bishops.  Trust me, this 40yr Catholic homeschooling dad of 11 now in decade #8 HAS failed at times; ask any of my kids!  But, as I try and gain some of the fearlessness and boldness a la St Paul, I never give up, I get up and try to do better.  You might be perfect, but I can’t claim that. However, there is a truth few in the Church family grasp and embrace today:

First truths #1:  EVERY Catholic family/parent(s) homeschools from birth

…It must continue no matter what educational choices are made at age 3 or 5. Education is not a K-12 or similar experience.  And homeschooling sees the children as part of a family growth, healthy maturation and learning experience.  In English, a LIFESTYLE worth pursuing that can lead to heaven.

Cardinal McElroy, please understand this never mentioned truism.  Seems obvious, as if it answers “first responsibility”?

Even though the public ed system, while most districts in Calif. are failing, is moving/creeping closer to having a chute from the delivery rooms at public and private hospitals into their brick & mortar buildings, already sucking in 40% off the California general budget for their efforts, it belies the fact: kids are born being homeschooled in secular, atheistic, protestant, Catholic.

What happens post birth, in two, three or ? years is the CHOICE of the parents.  And with the decay the Church is trying to pull herself out of, at least this realistic optimist believes,  it is even more important not to alienate your devoted faithful that are growing in numbers. We’ve done a number on seasoned senior faithful, 80 year old widows adorned with veiled armor and grasping their brass knuckle rosaries from the front pews of emptier churches, by banning Latin as if it is an infection.  I’ve heard the discussions, and the rationale, but no one answers WHY? the intensity to alienate those adherents when those parishes that have it are doing, in the aggregate, better than others.  Especially with the undeniable 3.5 years of hell rained on family financials, with those we employ/elected carpet bombing moms in the kill mills, grooming the rest of the young for breast and vaginal replacement surgeries while we ditter about the fraudulent dysphoric beliefs that God failed in not creating more than male and female.  Silly even.

Cardinal and friends: Homeschooling is NOT competition for parish based Catholic education here in California, parish based schools  compete with themselves, but they too are in a most unfair battleground: the godless axis of Newsom, Bonta & Thurmond triumvirate of monopolied education money that robs private schoolers of their taxes, including home schoolers with little or no benefit.  AND “invests” it in the culture of death’s ideologies.

The good news and tragedy, is I believe we’ve hit rock bottom: it’s the place someone hits when they run out of others to blame.  Time to be honest with ourselves…but still instilling hope for the future.

I know, this “homeschooling begins at birth” isn’t written in the CCC but it, like so much in life, is basic common sense: teaching values and truths starts at the nursing stage before the rug rat becomes a curtain climber then asks for the car keys.

Education doesn’t need concrete and steel to begin in a Domestic Church’s life when Johnny or Faustina comes home after birth.  On the Thursday bombshell of the Sept 1 policy change, calling homeschoolers unwelcome and unwashed, there is/was glimmers of hope.

Same day the Card. McElroy edict hit the airwaves, a beloved pastor shaded by an 149 year old tree blessed and welcomed homeschooling families at his Mass midday (to prevent reprisals, I will say somewhere in SoCal)

Mother Church MUST for her very survival, understand the new paradigm YIELDS priests at an alarmingly higher percentage than non homeschooled Catholic families.   I know because I converse and support a healthy number of them

This is something to rejoice over, noting Buffalo diocese is consolidating half its 118 churches for lack of people AND priests.  Yes, due in part to the LockOuts but the loss of practiced faith MUST be reversed.

Homeschooling aids two of the three legs of the three legged stool.  Cardinal McElroy, you have been the lightening rod and helped, IF WE SEE with Christ like eyes, to help other bishops realize this is no different than the neocanonical, rise in Marian devotions, the Renaissance of devotion to the Center of the World, the Center of Life, the real and true presence of Christ IN the monstrance and ciboria, no different than other positive and innovative movements in the greater Church.

With current finances and conditions, you have a bonanza in your parishioners practicing the homeschooling/cooperative/etc lifestyle that fits your role AS the chief religious educator overseer of the state’s St James county but are listening to spiteful voices that are not helping the greater mission. Why cause more grief for yourself: you can’t please EVERYONE.

Honestly, having been a parish staffer for decades WHILE homeschooling our brood of diapers over 40 years, I am uniquely poised, humbly, to help you take off your real estate goggles and see the faithful as MORE important that the classrooms you think you are protecting. 

How about a deal, your excellency, leave real estate to me, which I feed my fam with for 33 years and you focus on the homeschool families your ‘team’  just insulted. And the GREATER MISSION of the Church in a dying world.

You want families that choose not public but Catholic education on different platforms to COME to Our Lady of Perpetual Recreation but at the same time, don’t want them turning lights on in classrooms and occupying for short periods, with or without parish schools attached to the churches.

There is ROOM for both, and training the congregation that we need each other, that envy and jealousy for one’s fiefdom is contrary to what Jesus calls us to, that unity IS possible if we don’t look at the homeschooled as the unwashed interlopers.

Sunday’s amazing timing at the Gospel

“Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.”

The Name above all names, of course is Jesus: the Proud GodFather’s favored Eucharistic Son born just 270 miles to the Northeast from the Center of the World.  The same area soon after birth the Holy Family returned, instantly from Joseph’s visionill return, in flight, to a Jewish enclave near Cairo, Egypt.   (Sorry folks, Len never knows when to quit.)

Just because the society, like Pope Saint John Paul the Great called it, is trending to culture of death, we MUST stop majoring in the minors (baseball analogy) and focus on what’s important.  It’s NOT easy homeschooling; it’s easier dumping the kids in schools.  Let me be clear bishops: you have excellent parish based school parents AND homeschooling parents as well.

San Diego, you have win-win at your fingertips but you are starting 2024-5 pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory.

All need to be following what your conference and pope developed, the CCC definition as if it matters.  Because it does.

The Beckman ranch has homeschooled from early 1980s, starting at Magnolia Baptist when no Catholic home schooling association (like SCCHE today) existed but Christian Home Educators Assoc…we took on other iterations over four decades.

Today, many dedicated homeschooling Catholics gravitate to the last Baptist Catholic church in the Orange diocese: St. John, the Baptist Catholic Church.  As it says on its north wall, missing the well place comma.  OK, a little tension defusing humor, but success should not be ignored.  “What gets rewarded, gets repeated”.  EVERY parish can benefit from homeschoolers, as well as the more prominently displayed parish school kids.  EVERY body wins.

I woke early on Sept 26th morning on the twins feast day, Drs. Cosmos & Damian, and noted that Relevant Radio’s Cale Clark was subbing in for Dr. Patrick Madrid, the eminent Harvard Biotacologist;  the first thing our healthy dose of Canadian Cale and wisdom shared was about a novel idea out of San Diego.  I had just called in to the beautiful Randi ready to dialogue with Cale, just before he lowered this bombshell.

“The Diocese of San Diego has banned homeschooling groups from meeting on its properties, according to a September 1 policy in the diocesan handbook.  (I guess it’s so much easier to quietly print it instead of convening sessions at the diocese or parish level.)

The policy states, “The use of parish facilities by charter schools, home school programs, or private school programs is prohibited, both because such usage can undermine the stability of nearby Catholic schools and lead people to think that the Church is approving and advancing particular alternative schools and programs.”   I noticed the yoga and pickle ball sessions would still go on.  WHAT a HORRIBLE unforced error, prelates, priests and peeps.

Frankly, you excellency, homeschoolers don’t undermine the stability of nearby Catholic schoolsand trust me on this, no one thinks you are approving nor advancing particular alternative schools/programs. I’ve yet to see homeschoolers putting pipe bombs in the classrooms, or writing satanic symbols on the walls or even leaving gender dysphoric materials denying God’s simple design of male and female.

Yes, Cardinal McElroy, we don’t want homeschoolers to teach error in violation of the Magisterium; we all get that.

But sadly, your birdies in the ear may not have told you, it’s not uncommon for Catholic error to be taught in our parish schools.  Not viciously, not necessarily on purpose, but because you have humans teaching, whether at home or 100 feet away from the sacristy at the school, error occurs.  Thus, continued vigilance is warranted.

This may come as a surprise, but you have the power AND authority to dig holes and pick up the tennis racket, but please reconsider this: we NEED each other IF your goal is unity and EDUCATING the San Diego Catholic kids.

We MUST “improve our serve”.   The homeschoolers I’ve known for 4 decades are resilient, loving, respectful, giving, involved in parish life; you should get to know some of them before this becomes cast in stone the evil one throws a party over in hell.

National facts #1: priest vocations, and religious vocations are answered more often from homeschooling homes…

…today than generally from private, parochial and  public educational institutions. I’m not saying homeschool families get more vocations than parish based, but stats show accepting the calls are up in those living the lifestyle of good Catholic home based education.

Check out the stats, yourself: this is helping repair one leg of the 3 legged stool: the other two legs, bringing people back INTO the altar and Eucharist room (parish churches) since the lockouts (#2) and leg #3 we will save for the end.

The(your) policy also states that part of the purpose of parish facilities is to serve the Church’s teaching mission, adding, “Parish run schools and religious education programs are the primary means by which the Church accomplishes its teaching mission for children and young people.”  (hat tip Catholicvote).  Really?  So bypassing the roles of the Domestic Church parents, in other words, your excellency, you just need moms and dads to get pregnant, in or out of wedlock, deliver junior or a beautiful little girl, and drop them off for education at your divinely anointed real estate locations.

Do you realize the incredible growth in hybrid, alternative curricula, opportunities of recent decades that Catholics who continue to homeschool after rug rat, curtain climber, toddler etc stages?

Please understand, non Catholics seek out Catholic education institutions, especially high schools due to discipline and higher academics than in the public ed arena.  A good thing, but instead of 100% Catholic, the mixed bag necessary for financial survival means when they become freshmen and freshwomen in most colleges (excluding examples like bicoastal Thomas Aquinas College, Benedictine, UofMary, John Paul U, Steubenville, Ave Maria, Cristendom), our Catholic kids become fodder for everything hell and the loons unleash.

I recall a homily at a Life Teen mass on the beach; the priest

Let’s parse this using real world examples and analysis.

Happy to copy you on my curriculum vitae, Latin for “course of life”. Basically, my beloved Donna and I were the youth ministers, directors of religious ed, Faith Formation directors, RCIA and sometimes janitors from 1981 thru early 2012 at three Orange diocese parishes.  Since her death and my going off staff from Holy Family Cathedral when my pastor oddly flinched after the real estate acquisition of Reverend Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral, we continued to homeschool the kids apparently with success.

Our family has 12 degrees so far today, an Ohio son headmaster at one of those alternative Catholic institutions you worry about instead of embracing;  springing up known as Chesterton Academy in Dayton, one of 60 so far. Also, a few master’s degrees.

The blessing is ALL (I pray dearly they stay Catholic) the 11 kids remain faithful to the Church now in dioceses of Houston-Galveston, Ohio, Orange, LA and I almost forgot, diocese of San Diego.  I’m no Pollyanna; i’ve been a son of the Church since 1952 and continue on despite the occasional mysteries and bumps like NEC’s threats and banishment, program/job endings (two due to parish based school costs) etc.   Time IS short and hell is busy..

I don’t know about you, Cardinal McElroy, with whatever respect IS due, this Church is the only Church I got! Point is, you believe in error the absolute blessings your, yes your homeschool charges, tho unwashed, are to your diocese AND the greater Church and world.

With mics turned off, “candid” the cue card, you can get most Catholic leaders, including myself if you must, to admit that the Church has undergone decay over recent decades but being a realistic optimist, I truly believe the Eucharistic Jesus revival (NEC1941 and NEC2024) is maturing into a much needed Renaissance of Love, Truth and more.

I beg all of you:  let’s not lose the momentum with good alternatives already in existence for using parish real estate… homeschooling is exploding, relatively so, in the Diocese of St Didacus and believe it or not, they, homeschooling families (all your families at birth) are your sheep and will be friendly if Church leadership wakes up and smells the dirty diapers, good coffee and the generosity of their existence.  

The Father’s pride in His Eucharistic Son, as most bishops agree, is something He has pointed to for millennia (or at least can be shown) with a little exposition.  Jesus remains the Center of Worship, Source and Summit of our Faith, Focus of the Constellations and Stars (ever see OLGuadalupe’s Mantle Star Chart?), Center of Faith, and even geographically, represented at the exact Center of the World.

The last thing we need is to torpedo this healthy explosion of dedication to true Catholic doctrine, due to jealousy, misunderstandings, envy or more empire building, including moats around the parish boundaries of SoCal parishes.  My dad Paul’s family are from Buffalo and the recent news about lack of people and priests, leading to less funds is leading to consolidation of 118 parishes; I hope this is rumor but on different scales, it is  happening in all too many Church ordinaries.

In Orange, thanks in part to the Vietnam War, St Michael’s Abbey and homeschooling answered vocations, we have a healthy number of priests in our geographic boundaries.  The Abbey serves at 60 parishes in Orange and LA counties on most weekends. I have a little bias, since two of my children are married to two siblings of a Norbertine/Premonstratensian priest at the Abbey.  It is easy for me to be honest, not hold grudges, speak the truth in joy, surprise by joy the world around us, since I am overly blessed.

And yes, we have good Orange parish schools, those remaining open, like St Norbert’s.

Schools superintendent  Dr Erin is trying to answer this change, open to better understandings of this homeschool lifestyle movement that is having good impact:  the closings are not the well to do parishes in the main, but less wealthy (exceptions should be studied) ones.  For example, she is trying to consolidate 5 empty parish schools into one for a hybrid educational scope and sequence platform.

Cardinal McElroy: we are IN THIS TOGETHER! And the timing of Sunday’s readings is a true Godincidence. 

I support parish schools believe it or not, in different ways, trying for two years even with roses to sit down with Dr Erin; I am NOT the enemy.

I do an annual scholarship program honoring my dead wife, who was sent off from Holy Family Cathedral (proto) with 1400 funeral  attendees after 900 prayed the rosary days before at St Anthony Claret.   Your excellency, you have the resources in your diocese to accomplish peace but it will take diplomacy and love to repair this unforced error.

And we can’t ignore the golden rule: he who has the gold, rules.  Look at our gender fluids cinematic sillies producing Newsom Twosome: Jan 15, 2024:  Prop 98 K-12 per-pupil funding. The governor’s state budget states that 2024-25 funding per student in attendance will be $17,653 Proposition 98 General Fund and $23,519 per pupil when the contribution of all sources including property taxes are included

Cardinal, I don’t believe your preferred CAtholic students’ parents get $23,519 per year per kid, nor your schools see a $million per classroom.

Some states are “allowing”, as if they own the kids and budgets, some funds (school choice, something too many fight off due to fear) for parents to direct for education.  So kind of those state wide bureaucrats!  Another day?

First, we must agree that every Catholic student between 6-18 needs to be catechized and educated, NOT indoctrinated in each ordinary (diocese).  This is in keeping with each bishop’s charge by the Pontiff to provide solid religious education by the most appropriate means possible for EVERY child and teen to “build up the greater Church”.  Innovation is okay too!  When we shuttered schools and Churches this decade, unlike the Spanish Flu, the Black Plague etc, it left a mortal (though curable) wound that will take years maybe a generation to recover from.   So, why alienate YOUR students while success is occurring.

Yes, I’m one of those never jabbed Dr Pfaucinstein detractors since basic research showed the godless Mao Tse Xi’s (pronounced Say Cheese) incubated the escaped virus in his 11 millionWuhan human incubators before unleashing to the world.  I can’t force my Church to practice good science and research via Covid Chronicles, much less end this silly “Man can overheat the planet climate change heresy.  Some day someone will rise to the occasion and shout “the Algorean heresy is dangerous and evil.”  Just watch.

By Godincidence, I knew one of the first Covid California vics who died on Feb 16, 2020; he was a professor who taught Wuhan students here in SoCal.  And confession, at dyslexic 27, I am still on a solid regimen of Hydroxychloroquine/Ivermectin/D3/Quercetin/Zinc and other supplements with much success.  We see no myocardia induced by Pfaucinstein’s potions.

  I know, I know, I will die from that fish tank cleaning horse parasite tubed medicines that your medical suppressionist government mRNA pushers foisted on a world of “Sunday Sunday” taking African and C/Sinai Dr Wallace HCQ users impervious to the SARS/Covid disease.

Off my soap box.

I know financial times are tough, in the wake of sexual abuse settlements and Covid reaction.  But San Diego parishes apparently welcome non homeschooling outside groups, a line item profit center issue, to supersede CAtholic St Didacus/James student needs.  i am hoping, when cooler heads convene to discuss, this will be shown as a typo.

2nd Truths: understand the problem has been decades in the making. we have gone from low parish teachers’ salaries in the 60s -80s & last century, due to teaching sisters at most elementary and high schools; as this changed to lay humans filling the teaching rolls, and since they need higher income than squat sisterhood stipends to buy luxuries like food, shelter and gas, the cost of education at parish based schools rose. With 17.8% hyperinflation with a fallen away Catholic puppet in the white house, PRECIPITOUSLY.   As well as at parochial high schools.

How can ANY Catholic vote for the most rabid prebirth baby killers (the Kill Mill Jill & Obamanational Kamaleon and Timmy Tampon).  If it wasn’t for 501c3, maybe the pulpit could explain this dilemma as if we were black AME churches. 

Costs ARE up!  My ten siblings and I had 126 years of Catholic elementary and high school education (StAnthony Claret, Servite and Rosary) at nominal cost: I started, as the oldest, at $200/yr which doubled by graduation in 1970 (put the calculators down, smarties!) to $400.  Now, it is much higher.

The evil during this time is we in the Church are second class financial citizens to the property tax/40% of the general fund confiscation for California Ed Dept controlled by the UTLA and Calif Teachers Union.  And Catholic schools have a much better “product/service” to offer year in year out.  EG: A governor paid a million to go Hollywood for Mrs. Gender Fluidics Newsom’s documentaries.

Currently, $25,000 allocated to each child and teen; a 40 desk room means one million dollars is available per classroom; using LA as example, the results for all this cash, is 78 teens graduate per 100 seniors and at a math and English core subject proficiency of 35%.   The second largest public school district in America; and they want MORE without improvement  This is OUTRAGEOUS.  Catholics pay property taxes too, governor!

School choice SHOULD be pushed by our Church, even if only $10,000 per student to choose with, leaving $15,000 more in spoils for the Axis of Education Newsoms, Bonta and Tony Thurmond to spread around.  Why?  It’s just!  Reasonable! and Fair!  At least think about it.

Cardinals, bishops, priests and laity: everyone can win IF we come humbly with the facts.  And you want to compete with homeschooling?  $10k per student infusion will push the marginally budgeted parish schools into the blackest black.  Think about that one! Inner city excuses no more.  Families would choose their parishes knowing their vouchers can be cashed at ST. xxx’s offices after 

What IS critical, is the public sector government schools are NOT improving despite ample cash; with abortion at higher than pandemic Covid levels, public schools have enrollments declining as well…in some forced immigrant/alien infusion cities, you have 20year old non English speakers registering for freshmen high school  And it is easier to squeeze a buck out of a mango than from the UTLA/CTA owned California Teachers Association.  But it MUST happen.

Cardinal McE. et al: have you seen why encouraging both parish based and home based CAtholic education is critical mass and a win-win? Go to a public school board and open your eyes why we must RETHINK how we see our catechetical responsibilities and fight over real estate usage, with or without empty classrooms.

Leg#3: IF we want to be Catholic parish educators, teach Catholic.  At least, Catholic homeschooling schools are usually 100% Catholic and focused on teaching the Magisterium and solid Catholic values.

Parishes are thriving across America that teach Catholicism instead of the latest ideological pablum.

If only you understood the righteous power the laity AND hierarchy have in advancing the Gospel IN the marketplace of ideas and real world…

Cardinal McElroy, I bet you don’t even know the percentage of Catholic/non Catholic students ratio in your diocese’s schools.  In God’s eyes, you have actual Catholic families trying to break the parish glass ceilings and UP the percentage of Catholic kids educated using parish facilities.

I know the source of this Sept 1 policy edict came, not from homeschoolers but a Catholic parish parent or a misinformed priest.

Your excellency, you’ve had at least one well healed,wealthy Catholic parish school parent complain, as well as teachers, about the unwashed Catholic homeschool element.

This is no different than Donna and I’s decades as DREs: in the last century, Donna and I put up and joyfully solved the complaints of Catholic school teachers and parents that those “unwashed” CCD/Religious Ed/Catechism kids who move our desks and pencils around on Tuesday nights or over the weekend.

Smart DREs today, photograph (films a lot cheaper these days with iPhones)and make sure the desks and pencils are all aligned, out of respect for the parents’ kids coming Monday or Wed morn. It really is basic boy scout “leave the place better or same than when you first came.” But, desks don’t mind being shared: it’s the human race that has difficulty.

But as chief catechist of the Diocese of St James, Cardinal McElroy, you might have to be bold and tell the current Catholic parents who complained, that they don’t “own” the classrooms (they were paid for by previous alums and families), any more than selling the Sistine chapel will satisfy the critics the Catholic Church is too wealthy.   Complainers will complain; take the wisdom and implement but don’t spite your nose to do cosmetic facials: be the Leader God has called you too.  The Holy Spirit imparts wisdom, like Solomon’s first gifts last Testament were wisdom NOT wealth.

We ALL know, in our heart of hearts, where the real Church treasure is.  Ask St Lawrence!  When he produced the “wealth of the church” to the emperor, it wasn’t golden Ciboria but the poor, the lame, the disabled and on Cosmos and Damien day, for your edification your excellency, I present the unwashed homeschoolers who want to be treated as equals.  No more, certainly not less.

It took courage for St Lawrence to show the truth, show the real Catholic treasures and all he got was the BBQ.  Like other Church heroes, his comments live on:  “Turn me over, I’m done on this side!”

In retrospect, I think helping the wheelchaired, walker and blind folks in the 4 hour Registration line, a volunteer as needed, got me in trouble, on the watch list for the NEC security team; especially when I tossed roses to Lila Rose and got permission and hugged an old armless grieving friend on stage (Tony Melendez) central that Friday July 19th.  As happens in my Church experience, I’ve never heard back from Bishop Cozzens, CEO Jason Shanks, Sarah Houde or ANY NEC Catholic leadership why I was threatened with arrest if I did not go willingly at high noon on a St Joseph day (the 19th).  It’s only been two months…but then, no good deed goes unpunished. I will continue to spread by joy the Gospel, today refined, of the Proud GodFather’s love for His Eucharistic Eternal Son…someday you will hear about Giza’s role, in the Father’s Birth Reveal and Holy Family’s night time flight toward Cairo and its established Jewish settlement, but let’s settle these family issues first.    All, it is a time where boldness and respectful fearlessness is critical transformative values of our Church.  We must readopt them to turn our decaying world around.

I’ve never seen a priest or bishop at a local school board during the public comments 3 minute segments.  Do you have any idea, while we are fighting over real estate usage (there are plenty of empty school bldgs) instead of pushing for a reasonable cut of the ed pie or accommodating some of the Cardinal’s unwashed homeschoolers?  Go to your local board and see what I and others, like Sonja Shaw, president of Chino Valley SB, see. Gather facts before publishing edicts.  What has this to do with homeschoolers and parish classes? You read and tell me.

Here’s my script this year:  “with all due respect, xx school board leaders, why are you so focused on spaying our daughters like they are 3 legged junk yard dogs? We hire you to educate not indoctrinate with silly ideologies.  Are you willing to risk our girls being groomed by dysphoric teachers’ aides and see further lawsuits over the latest suicide when a few years hence, Suzy wakes up and realizes she will never nurse the little girl she will NEVER have/bear?   Must I repeat, I have just a minute: when you, without our parental permission, help end Suzy’s confusion over being a boy by chainsawing off her breasts and shredding her vagina and other internals, do you realize just maybe it’s time to be the adults in the classroom?  You are just NOT satisfied with kill milling prebirth children, you go after them after they are born”.   Less than 180 seconds but our civic duty is Catholic.

Yes, I use clinical words because, well, our Catholic teachings are stumbling over the clinical “gender dysphoria”(there’s nothing euphoric about this crisis of lies) just as bad as the public ie government schools system.  Confusion. God created them, male and female.  Heal thyself needs to occur on so many levels. We MUST stop serving the godless and get our fearless and bold juices back.  Time is short, maybe too short.

This is too long already; stop digging the hole.

I’ll donate $99 (it honors the beloved homeschooling mom who died on Sept 9th, 2011) as stipend rental Cardinal McElroy, for the first parish that realizes, in your diocese, that having Catholic homeschoolers on campus (like they are AA, Knights of Columbus, bingo if they must) is a blessing not a curse.  Especially since most of them, parents and kids, are involved directly and have their kids participate in sacramental programs.

In fact, so many of your priests, your excellency, already know this basic fact.  But someone in the Chancery, in the department of “coddle the noisy Catholic parish school parent so they don’t leave as well” is a threat best served cold.

God owns the buildings but He doesn’t pay for the electricity; I know.  Although He supplies some of the wind and solar to generate it.  The Twins feast day was interesting for me: I helped at a homeschooling coop at a public park and then attended mid day Mass back in the OC where the pastor had a special blessing for the homeschooling families in attendance.  Odd world sometimes.  Competition may not be the best word but it IS okay to teach your diocese the obvious:

“Homeschooling is a choice, NOT a crime.  It is a lifestyle worth pursuing”.  If you decide on private, the parish (or consolidated parishes) has a school for you. Public, as the school board commentary shows, is NOT the best option.

Yes, let’s stop these shovel ready unforced errors NOW. Cardinal McElroy, listen to your people.   Homeschoolers take showers and supply a higher percentage of the priestly ANSWERED vocations but don’t change your unwashed opinion just to get more consecrated hands in your rectories.  Do it because:

The world is dying for us to do the right thing.

Len Beckman  “It IS a great day to be alive AND Lord use me as You Will, not mine.” ~ my daily starter

Len is dad of 11, PapaLen to 22 grandkids and still homeschooling after 40+ years.  He served as youth minister for 15 years at St Callistus/now Christ Cathedral, DRE/YM at St Anthony Claret for 10 and Holy Family, first Cathedral of the Orange diocese until 2012. Scoutmaster emeritus for T#1123.  Married a never married beauty, Mary at Nativity church on an 8th of the month; not many stepmoms start out with 12 kids (including her hubby).  He continues as a real estate broker after 33 years helping folks make housing choices.  Involved in theater, from producing to clapping for his and others’ kids.  Long time rose supplier to vulnerable moms at Planned Parenthoodlums OC HQ and other proLife activities.  After all, EVERY life is worth living and souls like Kamala and Tim need saving.
Len sees half full glasses, tries to be a diplomat as needed, ‘ambassador to the ailing’ at NEC who STILL awaits first contact from an NEC official re the promised interrogation report sans arrest, that resulted in his banishment to witness to seven Events staffer and Thomas Payne at his car.  Miracles DO happen when we focus on doing good for others.

Thank you for your prayer for Larissa.  Include, if reading this on St Vincent de Paul day, my Rosie’s birthday.  As the commercial says, “results are not guaranteed..” but in our 40 something homeschooling adventure, we have 12 college degrees, a summa cum laude, 3 masters, 20 chickens, no horse but one malformed beak duck and her two drakes; and 4 families homeschooling their kids our grandkids so far.  Construction workers, communications director, comp science guru, home based moms, veterinary tech, smart sculptor, homeschooled Faustina marrying another homeschooled oldest son of 10, Elijah on Holy Innocents…we are related to a Premonstratensian Norbertine priest Fr Louis.

Thank you for your prayers; we will pray for you too!

(anyone mentioned in a testimony will be copied)

Due to a slight misunderstanding with our famous football Indy Colts Cops one Friday morn July 19th, Mary and I couldn’t be there for Chris Stephanik’s NEC closing on Sunday, July 21But, your excellencies and lay people, we MUST follow his call: Spread the Gospel to everyone we know.  Not criticize but using the Socratic method, get back to DIalogue with our fellow humans…the days of being owned by the left and the father of lies should end.

Ironically, Sunday morn, my wife Mary & I were heading to a south Indiana farm while San Damiano Chris shared his joyful and encouraging message.

At age 72, I live joy because it is the only way, in this decaying depressed culture of death, we can bring life to the needy: our Catholic brothers and sisters, and those not yet part of the Church. A good task.

Focusing others on Jesus and with confidence, His True and Real Presence.  The same Jesus the Proud GodFather knew from all eternity and anchored His Reality 4600 years ago for us to go Revival in this generation.

Due to modern miracles of recordings and the interweb, I saw Chris kiss the San Damiano cross at the beginning of his presentation. How perfect to end this pivotal Congress; he signified that we, as the Church, dig our way out of the mess we’ve made. God bless all of you: but this is NOT the time for timidity or lukewarmness.  We’ve had enough of that, especially in the 2020s.

Your excellencies and lay people, recall, in the 13th century, that St Francis stood in broken San Damiano (my 11 kids think I’m old enough to have been there!) and heard the Lord’s voice tell him:

Francis, go and rebuild my church which, as you see, is falling down.”

As most know, though the little church at San Damiano could use a remodel, the “Rebuild My Church”, brothers and sisters in Christ, with the spirit of Philippians 2:3-4, is what we MUST be about.

Mark these words: the dying world IS dying in part because we are NOT doing our joy-filled commission: spreading the Good NEWS to all! as effectively as we could.

I stood in that little Assisi church 24 years ago as part of WYD2000 toejam pilgrimage, just before I was privileged to provide guitar and lyrics for a side altar Mass in the Basilica of St Francis, assisting Bishop Jaime Soto.  I was humbled then and remain in awe of the amazing realities that surround us, as the caretakers of the Church that embodies the fullness of the Faith and the center of John 6: the Eucharist.

Two current NEC presenters, Steve Angrisano and Tony Melendez were the leaders with 100 sojourners that WYD as well.

Now I will share an odd but truthful (since it too was a modern miracle of recording) testimony to God’s amazing love, the Divine Mercy of His Son, our GodFather’s pointing to His Only Beloved Son’s Eucharistic beginnings 4600 years ago.  He planted His marker solid and deep.  It remains there today.

Please see this little Revival of 60,000 Catholics at Lucas Oil Stadium & adjoining, is blossoming into a Neo-Renaissance.  The Dark ages of lies & corruption can come to an end, as you must see, evil might abound, but the Amazing Grace of God abounds so much more.  ONLY if we are purpose filled, your excellencies, in being open to the Spirit and patient with the person two feet, or a phone call, away.

The stark contrast of a sad, sick woman VP who used adulterous prostitution at age 29 to gain her first useless government panel job, paying $166,000 is all over the news; not to mention, she terrorized a Catholic prolife warrior, a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist named David Daleiden with 11 of her AG goons one April to rob him of the Truth: hell’s kill mills, planned parenthood’s Sanger soldiers were drawing and quartering recently murdered prebirth little girls for parts sales.  Easily proven.

But NOT Jesus’ Real Presence, the True Story of this Century. This last depends on you and me to Proclaim as if our dying world desperately needs Him.  Because it does!

Brothers & Sisters in Christ..NEC leadership! Friends, family, clients, lovers of truth

Please understand, I am older than most of you, excellent bishops, knights (of Columbus, Holy Sepulcher etc) and pawns alike; our Queen Mary (one of my beloved Daughter in Law is named Regina Coeli!) is in heaven with the King of Kings.
His Real Presence is celebrated at all hours bloodlessly, except now with the increase of myocardial tissue & blood Eucharistic miracles in these end times, makes the atheists and demons shiver more these days.
The Eucharistic miracle Lanciano continues 12 centuries later as physical proof, while our Eucharist miracle Catholic sister,Así Fue La Beatificación De Carlos Acutis F55 maybe saint, Terri Schiavo Schindler is less than two decades past.  Ever heard of blessed Carlo, our fave Cyber-Apostle of the Eucharist, the first computer age saint in waiting and his catalog of these Real Presence proofs?  He too is now in Assisi awaiting his final days until sainthood.
Please, though my NEC life was cut in half, please believe I have a smile on my face and this is written with no arrogance, being so blessed with 11 kids, 22 grandkids after 40 years of homeschooling, to be a part of the Eucharistic Church.
The same Eucharistic Son that a Proud GodFather pointed to 4600 years ago at the center of the world with an object you know on sight…called the “Border Fire in the Middle”.
Someday you might see as a Catholic icon (Isaiah 19:19-20) complementing this resurgence of Love for the Eucharist and reawakening to His True Presence.  God knows He’s been patiently waiting for just this moment…for us to Revive and Renaissance.
After my roses and hug deliveries at NEC, I have done more head scratching as to right or wrong in the wake of the Neo-Renaissance ushered in by four pilgrim groups from 4 sides of the country.  Did I rob the participants of Mr. Melendez? Did I sin in getting brief permission and walked up, timing it to coincide with his common comment: “I can’t hug you…”
Someone take a poll.
Your high security NEC team promised me something around noon on July 19th; I am hoping just one of you can help me get the report your NEC security team promised me before you ordered my expulsion in lieu of arrest, from the NEC congress midday that Friday July 19th.
(As of this update, August 19th 20th, no report from NEC)
But, more important, in your quiet times with Divine Office, your excellencies, it is time for YOU to seek deep what GodFather wants of you; to deepen your need to be courageous, bold and focused.
Like you, I am sick and tired of so many Catholics pointing fingers at you with “Do this…do that…” while sitting on their derrieres doing little.  But this decade, we’ve collectively, ushered in the wizard of OZ poppy fields in our Church: induced conformance to just settling for seconds.
After all, we all share priest, prophet, king responsibilities.  But, if EVERY Catholic sought the Truth, and became emboldened with the message of Divine Mercy, the Reality of Jesus AS the Eucharist, most abortion kill mills would be stuck doing Covid shots and little or no prebirth demolitions…my fave thorn, planned parenthood OC&St. Bernard at Tustin & 22fwy in Orange, would be gone.  Good riddance.
A suggestion not a command: Today, (arch) bishop X, on your knees, recommit yourselves to the authentic Gospel, with its risk of violating the peer pressure of conformity to lukewarmness. Yes, the past has its perils and its faults, but YOU are the descendants of Peter, once called satan by our Eucharistic Lord, and the joy can STILL be there regarding your role.

Your excellencies, YOU are critical to this Renaissance.  Look at the beginning of this testimony: notice ANY bishops in the people listed?

Mea culpa, there IS evidence of my capital crime: Roses for a Rose Thursday night and a hug of an armless man, permitted by ascent of a staffer, for 20 seconds doing a deed most thought a good.

Maria, Lila and Briana. Three beautiful women. Two daughters flanking a new Catholic and amazing force for the lives of the vulnerable. Few years ago, before the ladies found their Life spouses.  Today, all three are married, a few years after this SoCal pro life conference.

 (When this was written) Today is the feast of the Assumption, and my 43rd anniversary of marriage to a saintly mother of 11 great kids, Donna, who’s now in heaven.  A beautiful Marian celebration I am sure you enjoyed in your cathedrals this year.
My 48 year old Donna’s last day above ground on earth was celebrated with her 11 kids and 1400 others at Holy Family Cathedral, who said “Yes” to this imperfect spouse.  Like Tony, Lila, your excellencies, Donna answered the call to follow Christ.  Now, times have changed because:
The Neo Renaissance of the Real Presence is underway.  But, I thought since nothing has been forthcoming since NEC, assuming you keep your promises, these last 20 days, I felt it necessary to ask the leadership politely for the report.  But with encouragement for the work of so many ordained in St. Peter’s footprints
 
By now half of you have tuned out…that is human nature.  However, since you probably seek a confession of unmitigated guilt, I can’t give that until I better understand the whys.
This was no terrorist attack on stage or earshot heard around the world:  just roses for the Rose of Lila and a harmless armless hug of Tony, that your Colt Cops linked together, two strikes I imagine, to get a joy filled 72 year old gone from Indianapolis. 
Was I a danger to the well coiffed program of the NEC?; was there even a sliver of optional programming space to allow the Spirit, IF it was the Spirit, to have me give a grieving friend, brother of two decades, a short hug. 
Better proof: Ask your fellow participants, your excellencies, since you probably had just left with 200 of your closest associate bishops before Patrick Madrid and Tony Melendez gave their testimonies.

The people of God, maybe 30,000 were not offended; majority if not all thought it fit well.

 
Truth be told, no one but your high tech security team and the NEC staff liaison (IF NEC was even aware) could see the roses tossed on stage Thursday nite July 18th: scrutinize the NEC video for your own proof. No explosions just the “weapon” most vulnerable mothers welcome as they leave hell’s kill mill.
  I intended to be discreet with a kind gesture for a great mother, wife and pro life warrior. 
  When or should you or your operations lieutenants read the testimony that follows, you might ask why as well, and plan 2033 differently.  That is all I ask, Improve our Serve, a tennis analogy.
Having done 100+ retreats, the days after closing prayer and drive/fly home, is the time when you evaluate the good and not so good that occurred for the NEC.  This is imperative to be done NOW, not after a year has passed.  Point is simple: we’ve committed too many unforced errors, in tennis terms, the last number of years.  St Paul style boldness, not mickey mouse weakness is a MUST!  Boldness is NOT violence; lukewarm is NOT Catholic.
 
Yes, NEC was beautiful, worshipful, great fellowship. The Godincidental four pilgrimages coming in procession (reminded me of four American cities greeting Pope Saint John Paul the Great 15 Sept 1987) was incredible completion of the preface of the new Renaissance.
High energy; pomp and circumstance, public American family rosaries, the Mass, Adoration, the speakers, breakouts. The beautiful  Bernadette actress who spoke well, the French  “Que soy era Immaculada Counceptiou” in her newly learned English as part of the re-presentation of the upcoming film; the exhibitors, like EWTN, Relevant Radio, Franciscans Steuby, etc. were excellent as well, though I missed out on visiting about 20 other Catholic associates from 4 decades of ministry. 
There is a side effect of  being kicked out unceremoniously without NEC explanation at the half way mark but that was my fault.  I could have just sat in the end zone and taken no action. What I have more difficulty dealing with, is you did NOT look at the ancillary effects of a rushed judgment: what you did to my wife Mary by cutting her experience in half.  This was no Sunday avoidance of Mass at the football stadium experience; she was not drunk just made the mistake of marrying a Tony Hugger 5 years, 2 months ago; now with 12 kids, me and her 11 stepchildren.
Please, your excellencies, lay and NEC operationals, no excuses just results; all I need is the promised report. 
You have proven you don’t value each of the Catholics gathered as much as the pomp and klieg lights, starting with the St Lawrence human treasures abandoned in line the first day.
   If it makes you feel better, I will shoulder the blame for being Catholic, spreading a little joy.  Honoring two great Catholic leaders…one married for 33 years to the amazing Lynn, another married to a good Navy man with 3 kids.  But:
  Someone must have been in charge on the board or leadership team for the unwashed like me. 
We MUST learn to see much more of the picture as we spread the Church’s message of hope and love in these last days, Divine Mercy is running rampant and the polarization of good and evil is obvious…
 But this isn’t about your sponsors, it is NOT Relevant or EWTN’s responsibility, it is yours, NEC.
When GKChesterton was asked “What book would you like if you are stranded on a desert island?” 99% of you would say “the Bible”.
Decent answer, but the great author’s response is what we need to be about: focusing on the majors not the minors, focusing on the details, even if they are boring and done in secret.

As our Eucharistic Savior told us regarding the blessings of helping others without hope for repayment. 

GKC’s answer was I believe “Thompson’s Guide to Shipbuilding”.  Your excellencies and other readers: look deep, pray for the Spirit’s guidance, because the times we are in are perilous, and we are in the end times, whether one day or a thousand more, we must live each day as if it is our first. AND our last.
 
Some facts: after playing a volunteer outside, a concierge to the July 17th massive registration line (i’m sure you will resolve this issue before next year or 2033) of patient Catholics, as we entered the Great Hall,  I inadvertently became the Ambassador to the Ailing or better rendered: concierge to the crippled, lame and blind etc.
Simple fact of works of mercy: if we see a need, fill it. Move on. Repeat: if we see a need… and what an epic fail of the basics of being a communal “Love thy Neighbor” Catholic.
1)BUT the fact the crippled, the lame, wheelchaired, walkers users, 90 yr old Anne of NEC 1941, even the blind were stuck in the Registration line for 2 1/2 to 4 hours was an abysmal failure.  Yes, these things happen when the prime directive of the Church gets short shrift.
St Lawrence probably turned over a second time on his grill in heaven when the Treasure of the Church was allowed to suffer even more. I am sure this will be remedied next time out, but please prioritize the mercy works (corporal and spiritual) to include helping the needy first. Ironically, the blind man elected to continue, with his attendant for two more hours, NOT jump the line.
 
2)  please tighten up the link to hired maybe godless or ignorant security with some one, anyone on your team, preferably mature and able to discern, who can call off the Congress shortening death penalty for another Catholic without due process.  I truly hope I was the only dedicated Catholic tossed out for a rose toss, harmless hug of the armless without a trial, review, even a word from your team.  STILL AS OF YOU READING THIS!

Often, in seeking the perfect, the zero tolerant stifle the Spirit, major in the minors and miss the

Here is the First Lady with the Second Eve. Hillary’s encounter with Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe ended with a question to the priest: “Who painted this image?” Answer came: God!!

whole story. After all, Tony is a friend of 25 years, and brother, a fellow journey pilgrim and HE SAID IT DIRECTLY ON STAGE 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE THE Gridiron GESTAPO SHOWED UP. Tony gave clues I wasn’t a 20 year old indoctrinated dead soul who some how got close enough to shoot a president who has a good Catholic first lady; out of fear, must we suspend our critically thinking brain? 

Were you THAT busy not to notice the hanging fruit of Catholic good works serpentining thru the Great Hall?
  Recall, St Faustina, exhausted after a day of helping the poor, found a ragged hungry man at her door.  She still took him in and soon He vanished!  It was Jesus desiring to see His beloved “secretary” doing mercy to others.   Your excellencies and lay people, how many angels do we fail to “entertain?”
Did it not occur to the NEC team it could have been, and probably was a welcomed addition, to see a grieving beloved Catholic treasure get a hug from the 30,000 looking at him?   Or were you so overwhelmed that robotic suppression was the only answer?  It was not me, a 72 year old Catholic who is retiring from real estate at 100, whether his clients like it. 
The hug was on behalf and came from those in chairs, on the VIP floor or end zone seats.  As the itinerant thick headed joy sharing servant, this guy with the Sacred Heart Patrol cap, represented the 30,000 not himself.  The sisters and lay I mentioned it to, on the way back to the endzone, especially St therese’s charitable missionaries of hope, loved hearing: “It was you hugging Tony!”.  The cyber corp in the surveillance booth must have caught it: I can provide the audio if you desire.
 
Inadvertently, full disclosure here, since I didn’t expect the football cops to pull me from my seat, my phone voice recorder recorded it all.
Providential should the fine Colts officers’ technology not work and you received no report of truancy, trespass or some other unvetted SI; as you wise leaders know,  sometimes, critical evidence is “lost” faster than 51 intelligence workers lying about a laptop from hell… though with the successive surveillance events, the Chief of Police Mr Ingalls mentioned,  I don’t doubt they have a voice copy and the typed SI (statement of information) for you should you request it.  The security you hired are more used to banning the chemically challenged as the gridiron and rock concerts…not where 60,000 have come to be re-energized in the 2000 year old commissioning.
After all, your excellencies, you contracted them to keep an eye on things.  As Spidey puts it, with “much power comes much responsibility”
  Apparently, they kept an eye on me doing charitable works and were not pleased.  Your unidentified NEC tomahawk man or woman must have been on a coffee break.
 
Bishops, your excellencies,  as you know the angels are in the details, as are the demons: eye opening to me, your security called this a “show” or performance, like one of the heavy metal bands or a football game was underway, or a Taylor Swift abomination.  It was NOT a show but worship etc.
Since Jesus can be worshiped in ANY Catholic Church still sporting a tabernacle in America, you must realize it’s not the size of the crowd, but the size of the heart seeking God’s blessings and mercy that is important. 
800 years later, the words of our Lord are still relevant: “Rebuild My Church”.  And the need is no less greater today…as in EVERY age.
 We in the laity have much hope for YOUR recommitment as well.  Just maybe, with the same number of bishops (200) in Lucas Oil Stadium as on the game boards 60 years ago, when Bobby Fischer played 50 chess players simultaneously in 1964, the true Neo-Renaissance (some call “Springtime”) will become a vibrant force of the Bride of Christ unheralded but undeniably of God.  Jesus started with 12; NEC is starting with 200 bishops and a 1000 priests, all consecrated men of the cloth.

The Holy Spirit is no less potent; and the GodFather is no less proud of His foreshadowed and prophesized Eucharistic Only Son.

The Love of a Good GodFather is boundless for His Only Son…as His love for each of us in His Divine Mercy.
  If in doubt about the pain of beloved son loss, ask Tony, who lost HIS beloved son in his sleep in his 20s slightly younger than the Savior of the Universe’s demise and rise.  Jesus remains the Center of Time, (and the world), Center of History (His Story) and the Center of Church life.  So many ways to prove this.  GodFather even marked the center of the world with His Eucharistic Lord’s multi-purpose marker.
In most Churches, the center of the altar if not moved to a separate room;  of course, in honor of the new Ark of the Covenant, the Second Eve, His beloved mom given to us on Calvary.  Somewhat unique, the Blessed Sacrament cathedral (in Bishop Soto’s world) sports the Blessed Sacrament Covenantal Ark behind the Blessed Sacrament altar, along the Blessed Sacramento River.  Wherever Jesus is reposed (except at planned parenthood satanist mass re-enactments with stolen hosts and newly ravaged prebirth babies) is holy, worthy of praise and ultimately available for Holy Hours ad infinitem.
 
 Your excellencies and NEC leaders/lay, you should know: The gridiron gurus made independent decisions, without oversight by YOU, and it was proved to me they have advanced face recognition technology, maintain cumulatives (recall this when you read Chief Billy’s “gotcha” about the Roses toss Thursday night, below) and the ability to track “suspects” over time, though I did not realize roses and hugs are now capital crimes.
But they are of a different world (as we are “NOT of this world”)  with built-in suspicions, as your NEC gavel holding judge and jury should be trained and mature.
A song I played and sang in the 60s, yes at Mass & bonfires, was “They will know we are Christians by our love”

The bullseye line is “Jesus, reduce me to Love!” 

We need to work toward this!  YOU need, as well, to look past our comfort zone, live sacrifice as if the eternally dying neighbors need us.  They do, because we ARE the hands of the Eucharistic Lord, empowered with the Spirit of Love.

It’s time…it really is.

We love you bishops, but it is time to shed the sillies of banning lace veiled adorned octagenarian widows, armed with their brass knuckle rosaries (apparently feared by the FBI) in the front rows of empty churches, from the traditional Latin Mass while we tolerate (in itself an evil) reprobate, prebirth baby killing Catholics as acceptable to honor.
Where the heaven did this animus come from, in a world of 7191 different languages? Is Aramaic next, forcing our Lebanese Maronite brothers and sisters to go Italian, Argentinian or even God forbid Anglo Savon English?  Your excellencies, do you fear the Curia that much?  Does our successor to St Peter have ANY contrarian advisors?  5 years from now, a new Pope will probably reverse this pathway…but can we refocus on the Gospel, stop catering to false sexualities and suicidal spaying of our daughters, and important priorities.
As my treatment proves, too many Catholic bibles are missing Matthew 18: 15ff these days.  Being bold is not automatically “violent”; its the character of men of valor and women of courage. To SPEAK and LIVE the Truth in LOVE.
  About time: Off the soapbox: thank you for all you do in leading our dioceses across this most blessed land.
For all I know, helping a 90 year old wheelchaired two time NEC veteran break through the turnstiles, got me on the Colt Cop no no watch list as early as Wednesday.  I don’t read minds, I do respect authority, I was given tacit permission to go up the steps and hug Tony.  No suicide vest, armed only with my Sacred Hearts Patrol hat.  My real weapon many of you carry, a rosary, was under my shirt.
 
  Even the woman host who introduced Lila Rose said specifically “I have to give you a hug”.  Was that in the script as well or VIP license that the serfs are not allowed to do? 
Your excellencies, think back to the pitch black dark days of 2020.  Didn’t we just suffer an unforced tennis style error locking out the whole Church (at least in Gruesome Newsom Twosome’s Calif.) on Pentecost 2020 or 2021?    The why continues: did any of you believe it was part of the “program” for the hug to occur?  Ask your people, NEC leaders, gavel holders, if you were not in the room!!
 
Your excellencies, I honestly believe your credentialed Catholics thought Tony’s hug was part of the program (I had tacit approval to ascend the side stairs!…this is why in the transcript you will notice that the intimidator tried to doublespeak; as a veteran of planned parenthood activities, even helping in a small way to out their lie about charging only postage stamp costs when they sell profitable baby organs, over a couple decades has hardened this old guy to resist fear, so I listened and didn’t flinch).
 
 In fact, I doubt if any of the audience objected to the unarmed 72 yr old carefully completing and complementing Tony’s “I can’t hug you” for less than 20 seconds on stage (you have the recordings; if not check Relevant Radio or the NEC site for $69)
However, people have the right to complain; if they did complain about the “Surprise with Joy” of the grieving Tony’s hug and file luminous complaints post July 19th, I would be happy to reward both participant complainers with a $2 bill.   Total four bucks.
Maybe it was three if you include the chief Ingalls and your Swiss guard NEC sergeant at arms judging observer. 
I’d love to thank the final NEC decision maker but that would require a person of character to admit he or she lodged the verdict, stripping me and my beautiful wife, Mary and stepmom to 11 of a long awaited experience with my fellow leaders and Catholics.  He or she was just doing the job, I know…like St Max’s Auschwitz guards…  I’ve heard it before.
 
I am not perfect, nor is my Church, but it is the ONLY Church I got.  The most disappointing aspect of this, is not ONE NEC official, especially the one calling for the ejection without a short hearing/explanation like adults do, none showed the maturity for direct eye to eye contact. Or called (you had all my information at intake Nov 2023 and my drivers license (probably the only one of the 60,000 required to give it) with the football bouncer cops. No one noticed the handicapped stuck in traffic, like a Hamas Hitler protest by the indoctrinated fools at Harvard or UCLA.
I was at peace, still am, but as you must know that fear that Padre Pio, PopeStJohnPaultheGreat and others have warned us about, along with apathy, are earmarks of a dying Church all of us are hoping to see revitalized. Come Lord Jesus, come. In the form of the Renaissance of YOUR Presence at Mass.
I stand apart from this assessment OF WEAKNESS: Jesus said He will remain with His Church, through blasphemous Olympic size DaVinci last suppers, false prophets like so many prostiticians today, even the insult of climate change claiming man, not the God of creation, controls atmospheric physics on this planet.
Imagine, all your interfaith environment committees vs the 553 sextillion mile wide universe, with billions of stars, trillions of insects, thousands of bioChem processes saying God is incapable not able to keep His beloved humans’ world in stasis? In more lucid days, you might see the Algorean heresies as the sin easily refuted but for the peer pressure of pseudoscience. 
We just had this incredible 5 day event honoring the Second Eve who uttered, as St Fulton Sheen (soon saint once the childish battle over who owns his bones is ended) puts it, those immortal words: “Let it be done unto me according to your Word”.
  God can sustain hundreds of organic Eucharistic miracles but we tiny ants say He can’t sustain His radiative life giving atmosphere is pure stupidity. Worse, the ignorant believe it and make family economic decisions; corrupt prostiticians like Pope Francis’ buddy John Kerry, Al Gore of the Algorean heresies, (someone mention Klaus Schwab? Is that rumor or real?) rob the world and USa blind via the Green New Steal.
We MOCK God by this insult the godless has conned us into, while depriving 3rd worlders of essential, low polluting cheap natural gas.  Oil has 6000 essential by products to buy and use.  Yes, keep reducing pollution as we have but when your communistic Democrat Left lies about God’s amazing fossil fuel “gifts”, it’s time for the Church to return to its days of good science (mainly priests in the Middle Ages onward) and speak the TRUTH in love. EO 13990 had ZERO answer from our Church leaders, just kowtowing to evil.
Then imagine, God’s last act of general creation, his ‘piece d’ resistance,’ was the 75 trillion celled final and perfect being/complement that with the OTHER SEX’s help, a man named Adam, produce the God required multiplier effect, children: we call her woman. 50 countries are almost dead from this insanity, of banning babies as if Kamalabort has a brain in her prostitician body.  The daily parties in hell over snowing His Church are embarrassing and not necessary.
Meanwhile, we adopt the godless UNcreative meanderings of left loons and medical opportunists on spaying daughters who survive with the 2/3rd NOT killed by hell’s abortion doctors of death, yes of the dying world as we tinkle over one language, Lingua Latinam, being used at Mass and more world families robbed of luxuries like food and fuel because we believe the climate hoaxsters at their lyin’ word. Must we remain impotent today?  Where is the passion for GOOD science, the Truth?
Also, should our Maronite siblings worry about banning Aramaic, Jesus’ practiced language, as well because it is Aramaic?  After all, banning hugs and roses has come and gone.
 
Benefit of the doubt>  In fact, at this point, with zero feed back,I don’t even know if anyone on the NEC team is aware one of their own, a brother and his wife, were banished for being Catholic, sharing joy.
So, my apologies if your security folks that are excellent at beer drunks’ removal some Sundays in the 3rd quarter, if none of this is known to the hierarchy and board, but that in itself would be more problematic: what kind of organization are you running, when an unceremonial removal of a couple who ordered two of the earliest tickets, came thousands of miles from the People’s Republic of Alta California, the Diocese of Orange, to be a part , ended up even helping as a “volunteer” on day one, to participate in the Real Presence Revival soon to be a Neo-Renaissance, are treated like terrorists of the PersiaNazi KhouDung of Tehran.

======Testimony===============

Testimony
Transcript of July 19th midday at the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium.  Meeting in the security room after pulled from my end zone seat. Three officers, chief of police arrives later.  It is a word for word transcription of an audio recording.
 
After Tony’s song ended, three security officers came to where Mary, my wife and stepmother to the 11,  and I were sitting in the end zone, peacefully watching the proceedings.
 
The Colt Cops:  you need to come with us
 
Len  Shall I tell my wife, are you taking me out, or just asking questions?
 
CCops:  taking you to the security office
 
All four of us walked up the aisle and headed to the security office
 
Len: thank you guys for being here (I always thank officers for their service, even football cops), 50,000  60,000 Catholics, you have a beautiful city 
 
I remained cordial during the 5 minute perp walk; the security officers were just doing their jobs…assuming someone in NEC leadership requested my removal. Obviously, as dangerous as I was, I assumed they would appear.
 
At the security office; Sound of a door opening
“Hello!”  desk officer, a nice lady
Len: “am i to sit with you here (woman on other side of table)”
Fine lady: “Do you have your ID on you sir?”
Len: sure I do. would you like the license or…
Fine Lady: License will be fine.
Len:  here it is. I am Len by the way.
    No priors I think. I have 11 kids and 22 grandkids. 40 years of Catholic home based education.
Fine lady: the Boss is going to talk to you
Len:  oh ok  Bach, I don’t know Bach
Fine lady: No… boss (with a chuckle)
Len  who is he?
Fine lady: “He’s the chief of police”
Len: ok happy to talk
25 seconds of dead time.  In comes alleged Chief of Police who identified as Billy Ingalls. (later Checking Archbishop Charles Thompson’s home city’s website, Billy and the acting Indy Chief must be fraternal twins.)
 
NEC Colt Cops “Sir, my name is Billy Ingalls, the security manager
Len  Good to meet you, I am Len
 
NEC Colt Cops or NEC: “What were you thinking, partner?” (referring to hugging Tony Melendez)  (I  was NOT thinking, partner!)
 
Len  Let me give you the backgrounder.  I first met Tony in 1987, he was (a gift to the Pope at the Universal Amphitheater) up on stage. (Sept 15, 1987) I had 30 kids from St Callistus that special day.
(13 years later) I traveled with Tony to WYD sites in 2000, 2002, 2005.  I have 11 kids 22 grandkids and 40 years of homeschooling. I’ve known Tony and Lynn for more years than we’ve known
each other.  He lost his son Adrian, actually Andres, 3 years ago age 22 (actually 24)  My lovely wife, Mary married me 5 years ago.  I have been involved in youth ministry at three different churches). Tony was a surprise to me; because I did not know he was coming here.  and I had not seen Tony for a few years.  I’ve actually played his arms and hands on buses in Europe and had the privilege of sponsoring him, having him come to different churches and to do all that.  It was a little bit impulsive only because Tony has been one of the greatest gifts to our country and the world. (and your security man at the stairs allowed me up)
 
The long and the short of it is, uhm, give him a good hug and go from there.  He knows who I am, if you want to check with Tony.  If he didn’t, it could be because he is a lot older than me (attempt at humor: I’m 12 years older) right now, no I’m kidding.  He is actually a great man doing great things.
 
There was no intent to hurt or harm, i’ve been involved in the neighborhood of 100 retreats over the years serving almost 38 years of church ministry as the director of religious ed in some places, mainly as a youth minister, I’ve seen Tony at conferences and doing the other things together. Long and the short.
 
Here is the brief time Len was with Tony on stage/ dialogue: Fri July 19: 
Tony:  I can’t hug you. I can’t serve you a plate of food.  I’m married. I love my wife.  Her name is  Lynn, …for all the ladies here, we can’t hold hands which means we gotta do a lot more kissing.  That’s ok with me.  we’ve been together 33 years.
Two kisses that changed my life (Pope St John Paul the Great and Lynn’s). The first, the Pope, not a romantic kiss. A true blessing.  The second my wife’s  A true blessing when it comes to marriage and later on (kisses).
Len comes on behind Tony and touches gently his shoulders; Tony looks up and turns to Len
Tony: Yes (pause, recognizes; Len quietly says his name) Hey how you doing there. Good seeing you. Good seeing you.
Len: (facing the crowd) “Tony can’t give you a hug. We can give Tony a hug. Give him a round (signaling applause)  The crowd applauds Tony.  “I getting off now..(quietly to Tony; he traveled with six of my kids) I’m at 11 and 22 grandkids.  Len leaves the stage
 
Tony:  Good seeing you. You know we have World Youth Day friends, he’s one of the WYD friends I’ve traveled with.  A true blessing.. (did the Colt Cops’ Chief Billy or the NEC security liaison even hear Tony before their rush to judgement?)
  He didn’t call me Khoumenei but a friend, brother and blessing. Follows is Billy the Intimidator setting up the removal:)
NEC Billy security:
“Ok and…You did it yesterday as well” (referring to giving roses to Lila Rose tossed on stage).  (when the Chief Billy said this, my chess brain kicked in.  He’s been surveilling me for more than just today Friday, maybe the whole congress while helping the St Lawrence Treasures as well on Wednesday)
 
Len:  Oh, the flowers. Yeah, the flowers…that’s a fair question.  Roses for Lila Rose, I go back probably when she first came out. I’m a pro life, literally a prolife activist.  In that regard, I don’t block doors.  I usually give roses…
Billy: “as you did yesterday”
Len: …to women (ladies leaving planned parenthood Tustin@22fwy Orange).  I did not hand them to her, I tossed them on stage (away from the dais) probably 15 seconds, probably late. 
I saw a staffer pick them up. What it was, if you didn’t get the evidence (the 11 roses) was simply three times, this is the third time.  Last two times it was at two different youth conferences, I would give her a rose on stage as a sign of the love and compassion (for her courage) from the people.  Usually as a youth group, I would have them with me. This third one, the roses actually were (technically) from her husband Joe.  She didn’t know about it, it was a surprise. But since I was late (15 seconds) I basically tossed them on stage (not to disrupt) when you picked them up, and I don’t know if they got to her, I haven’t talked to her since then.
   Bottom line, that will be my last incident (of surprise) if that is what your concern is (for NEC).  (agreeing to stifle joy and Catholic hospitality with a chief/man whose faith life is unknown).  I paid $700 to be here 12 months ago and it’s been a joy.  I’m just here to be a good Catholic and witness. so…

Billy: “well, on behalf of the NIC err NEC (Len: OK) I am instructed to pull your credentials.”  (Can I face the judge, jury and executioner?  Obviously not; after all, this is Church typical)

Len Ok, that’s fine. Can I get my wife.  (tho I’m of little importance, I expected an NEC staffer to come out from behind the curtain)
Billy:  we can get your wife…  (this indicated, mind racing, I’m done here unless the NEC security person shows his or her face, comes out of the shadows)
Len:  actually a better idea. Let her do what she is doing and I will pick her up outside. (I figured there was little chance of being at the Congress after the interrogation)
Billy: can you meet her out?
Len: does she have to go as well?
Billy:  she does not. she does not.  (good interrogator, he was careful to localize on his “suspect/target” and not Mary)
Billy so if you want to attend any of the other NEC events, because you are being ejected from
this stadium and you are being ejected from the convention center
Len: we’re fine, I understand  (Huh?  what events?)
Billy:  you are not allowed back on either property through the end of the event, thru Sunday ok?
Len: ok

Billy: so if you are found on either of the properties you are subject to arrest for trespassing. Ok?

Len Ok  (what was i to do? The NEC must be in the shadows.  I’ve heard the phrase “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive…” from time to time over 72 years)
Len  The reason I am asking (question) is a simple one. (phone rings) No, go ahead and get that phone call. 
Len:  We came into Dayton via Cincinatti, in Dayton with my son and daughter in law their 4 children  (my son is the headmaster of Chesterton Academy Dayton, adopting 4 great fosters this year)
to Chicago and met some long lost Polish cousins. I will be happy to go, I have the keys
Happy to go, if you think its the thing I have to do.  Could you send me a copy if I give you my email?
(still expecting this great org NEC staffer, even a volunteer like me, to appear.  Didn’t happen)
Billy: I appreciate your help in doing this
Girl stenographer recorder:  Uh, I don’t know if it’s hooked up
Len: i don’t care if it’s later just so…

Billy: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET AN OFFICIAL COPY FROM THE NEC  (fat chance, it’s been three  four weeks)

 
Len: no, that’s fine, I apologize… (for doing a good deed for a grieving friend)
 
Billy: (holding the nametag) is there anything in the back you’d like to hold on to?
Len: good point, similar, actually, what you need more than anything would be this guy here, this is the actual credential. (Len tears it from the schedule)  This is the schedule where my wife would be..this is Patrick (Madrid’s) card in here. I can keep this (the plastic part) and…how about the clip?

Billy: unfortunately that (the orange lanyard) is part of the access credential.  (that’s what I paid $700 for?)

Len: ok that’s fine.I tried to be careful and not disruptive when I was surprised that Tony was up there…
 

Billy: well, honestly, honestly you are very, very lucky you didn’t get tackled off the stage by law enforcement down there

Len Well…
Billy OK?
Len  I appreciate that since they are probably bigger than me
Billy …if you had not stopped and talked to the cameraman (truth is, I complimented him on his work…I didn’t know I was under surveillance from the night before.  Roses have power!)
Len   Right
Billy “…when they (implies more than one NEC staffer made the decision) thought that you were with the camera crew, when the guy (not sure whom the stairs staffer belonged to) let you up…had that guy not let you up …had that guy not stopped you, you would have probably been taken off that stage in a different form and fashion.”    (uhhhh, hmmm…does this make any sense?)
 
(Bishops/your excellencies/NEC hatchet team.  A little analysis here: my BS meter is on.  Ok, let’s chew on this.
A soft threat, which is his right as the chief of police to pull on me,  if he’s trying to extract necessary information. But, trying to understand their frame of mind,  if the staffer said no to going up, I would have returned to the end zone seats..and Billy or NEC Wizard security, decided, they would attack me with their bouncers?  Come on.  Who the heaven are these people and who is “they?” members of NEC or only God knows;  so I was going to be tackled because I was allowed up on stage?  What, set up for hospital or possible death for Hunger Games style blood sport. My chickens and cats make more sense then this doublespeak nonsense.  I support and donate to a number of the entities at this Council/Congress, joyfully and know a healthy number of the presenters over my decades of ministry; and exhibitors.  They knew I hadn’t sponsored a Hitler Harvard Hamas rally or threw paint on the monstance.. Tony just called me friend and World Youth Day traveler 10 minutes before the extraction team of the Colts Cops showed up)
Len “…and I don’t play football, i just watch it (occasionally but sorry Archbishop Thompson, I’m not a Colts fan)
Billyunderstand, understand the environment in which we live today.  That’s where we are at with it.  (I DO understand the environment we are in: prebirth kids are killed by the millions and that prostitute VP Prez candidate can kill more with little response from the Church?)
Billy“You know you are breeching security”.  (I don’t know I’m breeching anything: no signs, no instruction, allowed up to do a mission of short duration mercy…if told I couldn’t go up, I would have returned to Mary)
Billy:  “If we let every individual in this building do what you did,what kind of PERFORMANCE, WHAT KIND OF SHOW would this be for the participants  (come on, chief, did you hear the “performer’s” words? I was in a foreign land, this was a CATHOLIC worship gathering not druggies and drunks, meth heads and others that need our help.  I hope you bishops and NEC leaders have the capacity to read between these secular lines that make no sense)
Len yeah, a good point, but it’s actually not a show, it’s a witness.  (another waste of breath)
 
Billy   You disrupted it, and that’s what caused this  (Bishops Cozzens/Thompson etc, you were out of the stadium, there was no disruption, just nervous trigger happy security which is a good thing at times because law enforcement is being bullied and lawless disorder promoted by the Democrat radical left…  Ask YOUR people if they were offended having a ‘stand-in’ give Tony a short hug!)
 
Len   ok and I will contact them (tony, Lila) since I have their numbers. not this weekend.  To say Thank you guys for a great experience. and they’ve done great things
 
Recorder lady:  ‘Let me explain to you are being ejected from the stadium and you were trespassed from the property and I will ask you to sign that statement.’
Len electronically signs, acknowledging the interview…no copy given as is legally required in most states including Indiana.
Billy ..Think about your actions a little bit..I understand your side of it.  Think from the security side…”  (I did, where the heaven was NEC? or as usual, ducking responsibility.  Yes, I am repentant for ruining my wife Mary’s experience, but was the pomp and circumstance more important then the details of ministry? Do we accept zero risk of witness, enforce by zero tolerance of the good for the perfect lock-step “yes, sir” to corrupt civil “authorities” like gov Newsom locking out school and Church while making planned parenthoodlums “essential workers”.  I guess we do!
 Newsom’s the same plastic fallen away Catholic fan of killing prebirth kids, spaying daughters into suicide like they are junkyard dogs; that’s his excuse.  What is ours as a Church?  Yes, three fingers pointing back at me, but Francis heard the words from Our Lord in Assisi. Do we? )

“Francis, go and rebuild my Church which, as you see, is falling down.”. 

We all see and are trying to revive the patient, the Bride of Christ.
Security Kevin escorts Len off the property onto the streets.  To get to the rental car in the Hurst parking lot, I had to ring the building, do 270 degrees.  I did stop and dialogue/witness with 7 EVENTS staffers on break, event people, about the Congress, the Real Presence of Christ, the Church etc.  Anything an involved Catholic would do.  Once their pizza arrived…
 
At the rental car, I met new arrivals:
 Paul and his wife from New York.  I greeted them, gave them directions, discusses homeschooling since they are homeschoolers with kids.  One of the kids is John Paul; the respectful 7 yr old young man says he’s named after John Paul II     You just missed tony I told dad. They said they know him.   To the young man:
Len: “son, the proper name is Pope Saint John Paul the Great.”
‘  they come from a very rural part of NY..
To mom and dad: “You are in the 2-10 club, you have two and on the way to 10.”  they chuckled.  Too many bishops miss how important servants Catholic home schooling families are to parish life; after 40 years, I see this and the benefits are enormous.   Few clerics understand Catholic parents HOMESCHOOL FROM BIRTH; LATER ON, THEY TAKE different paths to fulfill CCC 2223.   Don’t miss the Hillbillies I told them. We finish with “now John Paul who are you named after.
John Paul responds Pope Saint John Paul.  Smart kid!
(While I playing chess with myself, did I do the right thing with Tony?)
Len gives the family directions and as they begin to leave
 
Another current credentialed attendee walks up to my car while the New Yorkers were still there; his name on his credentials is Thomas Payne.  (the irony was not missed)
Tom:  “I need a hug”
Len ” I need a…this man Tom needs a hug!”  (joking to the NY family).  Why does Tom need a hug?
Tom:  “It was great up there (referring to the Tony hug)
Len “I’m banned so I guess it’s fine” 
Tom: “He’s one of your best buddies, huh?”
Len: Yeah, Tony, I was just telling the people here from New York. Hey guys! Tom hold on (talking to the uncredentialed family from New York) (Len shouts) make sure you register and get your credentials
 for the events in the Exhibit Hall Check out the Hillbillies and when you get to Relevant Radio, tell Patrick or anybody that Len Beckman sent you. (Obviously I won’t get back to Relevant unless I can get my credentials back from the NEC.  Never did get a call back or email back Friday or Saturday.  Nothing even today.
 (back to Tom at the rental car in the Hurst parking lot)  
Len  “I – I honestly didn’t know Tony was coming. And I’ve known (of) Tony since late 1980s, I saw Tony come up out of the floor (sept 15) 1987.  I was with 35 maybe 40 kids from our parish, St Callistus
(today both St Callistus churches are gone, now luxury homes and embodied in Christ Cathedral a stone’s throw away)…it’s Christ Cathedral now and Tony was a gift, no one knew him then…I traveled with Tony 2000, 2002, 2005 World Youth Days. Tony has been everywhere (45 countries).  He’s suffering, obviously,
he’s suffering from the loss of his son a few years ago Andres (Andres pass away in April 2022).  We know he’s in heaven (still pray for him and the Melendez fam)  As much as he works and God’s given him a burden but he meets that burden so well. 
The way he handles helping and doing all these things
So, Tom, you’re local you are from Indiana? Had you ever seen him before?
Tom:  “on TV (a car alarm goes off in the Hurst parking lot with no one else around)  Uh Oh!
Len:  “that is hilarious”
Tom: “no one’s even around that car”
Len:  “It’ll shut off after it gets tired”.
  So, tom anyways (alarm continues) tony’s just an amazing guy
Tom: So you saw him just…
Len: well I saw him well I’m 72, so i first saw him Sept of 1987 when he
came up out of the floor, and he just did as you saw on the screen…with the Pope
tom:  yup, yup yup
Len  …and I’m Polish and German and have a deep love for John Paul the Great
Tom: whattya talking about, man, I say John Paul the Excellent!
Len: Well you remember how the Parkinson’s just took over
Tom  yeah
Len: I really believe God used him throughout his life and he showed us how to
(live and) die gracefully (suffering Parkinson’s) unfortunately for our president right now, it’s sad, pray for
him. He needs a lot of prayer. because (Biden) he has parkinsons for probably 8 years
 
Len:  JPII was a hiker and everything but when Terri Schiavo died that morning (March 31, 2005)
she’d been starved to death, she was murdered, she couldn’t move much, she
couldn’t speak well.  (but her family, the Schindlers, were willing to give Michael a million to keep his ex wife alive. Go figure)
Len: When JPII passed away as the Divine Mercy mass (vigil) ended April 2nd, he had gotten…
Tom: I remember
Len …seriously ill on March 31st just hours after Terri was murdered (no coincidence, certainly a Godincidence) the best way to put it.  But, to answer your question, Tony was that gift whose been to every WYD since I seem to remember and his ministry is sooo sound.
He’s such a generous soul, giving everything that he can
Tom: especially since you can tell, on his younger days, when the pope wanted to kiss him
Len  But that was the freaky thing..I had no idea he was gonna be here, so 
I told (my wife) Mary I got to go do this. The day before (Last night) I had tossed Roses for
Lila Rose on stage and it was my 3rd shot at that. I’m a prolife activist and had seen her
at different (events) things. I had missed her by 15 seconds so tossed them on stage (not to disrupt)
When Tony got on stage, I told Mary I gotta go.
Tom: really
Len: He’d said it had not been easy. Tony had just said “I can’t hug you” Tom, did that come through?
I’m here to hug you.
Tom: it did
Len I told the sisters (on the way back to seat) especially Missionaries of Charity  that hugs for, from 
you to him. (did the same with other individuals and groups)  God bless you Tom
I think I did the right thing. Thanks for the kind words. I wasn’t sure I did the right thing
Tom: you did fine
Len: I hope to get my credentials back otherwise I will go see my kids in Dayton.  (Bishop Cozzens: couldn’t get anyone to respond.  Emails to one of your key staffers not returned)
Tom: did they take them from you?  (Yes)
Len: I probably deserved it.  There’s a lot of hoot and holler crazy people out there.
 To Tom, are you with a group or by yourself?
Tom: I’m by myself
Len: well go celebrate! Go, go, go. Go see the hillbillies (people mentioned them; it was lunchtime)
 Wish you the best!  Thank you Mr Payne, you are the best!
–end of recordings transcript/testimony July 19
 
I got in my car and left the Hurst parking lot, headed to a neutral location for a few hours.
Picked up Mary after 3pm.  she gave another participant the remainder of our parking
pass, and following NEC and the Colt Cops orders (no one called back to see if we could re enter. 
(Sorry Mr Ingalls, two become one in the Catholic experience), we left the city early Saturday.
 
Tony had messaged me on FAcebook that Friday evening (yes, armless folks can do amazing things, even text)
but I didn’t want to rain on his parade.  I told him I wasn’t arrested but to enjoy his time at the 
Congress.  I would catch him later.  Which I will.  All I need from you is the report.  No excuses, no apologies. Just
the promise this will never happen again, with the Church allowing the godless or ignorant set policies, like
we do with wasting and draining poor families believing climate change is man caused NOT God controlled
Another unforced error I call the most egregious heresy embraced by too many: the Algorean Heresy of Ignorance
I must count it joy, if being a target is due to being active in giving roses at planned parenthood Orange HQ on Tustin @ 22 fwy.  As the distraught
confused girls come out the driveway across the sidewalk, having aborted, got a Covid shot or just anti-having kid pills,
explains a lot of the whys of this experience. WE don’t save, the Holy Spirit does the “saving” but 66 million have not made it
to daylight.  Yet as Mother T (I just LOVE the Missionaries of Charity) answered the reporter: “there are thousands in need, how can you
hope to help all these people?  Her answer is our call; not just the fanfare of big celebrations, but the nitty gritty of “helping one person at a time”
 
Even after expulsion, I remained hospitable to the needs of others, followed the Prime Directive and encouraged people we encountered.
Our Church is clawing back and crawling back since Pentecost 2020 lock-outs and heaven 
only knows, I will continue to surprise with joy those within two feet of me, as we all should.
 
Bishops Cozzens & your excellencies & lay people: May you begin your day with my mantra: “It IS a great day to be alive.  Lord, use me as You, not I, will”  ie: shout Joy with your every encounter.
 
Romans 8:28   All things do!!
Isaiah 19:19-20  The Proud GodFather’s contribution to His Son’s Real Presence 4600 years ago. Yes, provable as a Catholic icon. Stay tuned.
 
I remain a son of the Church, devoted to truth, surprising with joy, still spreading the Gospel as long as possible.  My real estate clients know I am retiring at age 100 but in our faith work, retiring is defined as putting new rubber/wheels on the family van, NOT quitting. There will be plenty of time in heaven to retire and sleep.
Wishing each of your ministries to be successful in the spirit of Phil 2:3-4:

“Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,4 each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.

 
Len
Maybe I will get the promised report in time to see 99 yr old Minnesota Anne again in 2033.  My 2nd, her third.  That is, if the blackballing is removed before next year or the double millennial anniversary of Jesus on earth.

Being Merciful Ambassadors for the Ailing at NEC July17 Day1

The NEChronicles~stories of the New Renaissance    Day One

Mary and I had long looked forward to the National Eucharistic Congress, being super early ticket buyers Nov 2023; having been a part of 100+ retreats, director through cook over 35 years, I know how important early seed funds can be.

Fortuitously, my wife and stepmom to 11, Mary, has an excellent friend who lives in Indianapolis who is searching for the Savior; she did the Corporal Mercy Work #4 of “sheltering the homeless”.  OK, we could have taken a hotel but her hospitality was such a blessing we can never repay.

Our adventure had begun on July 13th, flying to Cincinnati via LAX, and finding out while in the air that our future president came within an earshot of dying…the first desty was 4 three fosters and a married couple: our son headmaster’s the Chesterton Academy in Dayton and Nate and Jen are looking to completing adoption of their four amazing kids.  We spent a few days with these blessings before heading to Chicago for a long overdue reunion, after 40 years, with our Polish cousins (mom Irene was a Maciejczyk) who turn out to be pretty much awesome too!

But on to the long awaited NEC, after 83 years since 1941 in Minnesota

We arrived at the Indianapolis Colts playground and looked for a parking solution; we found it, providentially, at the Hurst building that abuts the stadium parking lot & charged only $10/day for our expected five day stay in Indianapolis.  Perfect only 4 miles from Han’s home. My 100% prediction is the Colts will NOT lose week 14 this season: you can’t bet on it!

Words for the ages, from Philippians 2:3, a road map to today’s much needed active Catholic witness: 

“Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.”

Indy Registration: When Mary and I got to the registration line, it wrapped around buildings before entering the Exhibit Hall and the St. Max style turnstile cell, weaving back and forth in the great room.  That room was as dense as Kolbe’s 10×10 cell filled with 100 of his closest friends in the 1940s. But it did move, considering the 60,000 participants.

Having been diagnosed with a form of ADHD (never touched Ridlin) called A-DAD, I left Mary and others in line and walked back and forth talking to groups of sisters, families with small kids, grabbed waters for those in need, Socratic dialogued with a protestant apologist trying to save us Catholics from hell~ the typical NEC registrants.

Wait!  Nothing typical, since the last NEC was 84 years previous when Anne of Minnesota was 7 years old in St Paul NEC 1941.  Funny thing about aptly named  protestant brother Noah with four kids less than 5 years old, he’s got the start for a modest sized modern Catholic fam already in gear.  Pray for him…

Apparently, noticing we were looking at hours not minutes, I had “volunteered” to be one of the concierges of hospitality, helping young kids waiting hours to make the 10 second sign in at the end of the serpentine sign in process.  NEC was overwhelmed but we didn’t pay $700 to be spectators at a football game, we came to be involved.  Priest, prophet and king doesn’t apply just to Jesus.  As Catholics, you see a need, you work hard to solve, fix or complete it. One definition is the Church is NOT a mausoleum for saints but a hospital for sinners.  A song I used to play at Mass in the 60s was “They will know that we are Christians by our love.”  Yup.

Inside the Max Kolbe room, things changed up:  I saw an 80s something walker walker walking; so I asked her, “How long have you been in line?”  When she said 2 1/2 hours, this is insane at a Catholic focused on Jesus the Eucharist event.

I immediately asked “Would you like to leave and go to the front for the 20 second check-in?”  Maybe I should have asked permission, but who do you ask?  Volunteers are volunteering, the reg desk was packed, though less than 20 seconds and you were done.

With relief in her eyes, our octagenarian walker got the award for Walker of the Day.  OK, peeps, she got registered!

I lifted up the first turnstile cross bar, then the next until she was 10 feet to the computers and label printers; to the front she went. 

NEC leadership, we know it’s not easy to plan for everything, but thank you for trying.  And if anyone is making notes for 2033, you might include an Ambassador to the Ailing, the frail, drunken sailors, the lame, blind. Even the armless with club feet.  OK, the ‘drunken sailor’ comment is more for the reasons the Colt Cops were zero tolerance, independent practitioners of kick out anyone…or at least one…who didn’t match the usual 90 yr old brass rosary bearing front row church lady or anyone not intimidated by giving up fearlessness and joy.  They are used to Sunday brawls by fans with too much adult beverage.

However,  there were more who needed a Fast Pass outta da line.  Back to work, now a blue suited Revival less shirted Volunteer, making me look official?, I guess; we went back and asked a wheel chair lady with her entourage if she’d like to go to the front?  Her team let it slip she was age 7 at the most recent NEC, back in 1941 when the school children played a part in the massive 100,000+ gathering to honor the Proud GodFather’s Eucharistic Son.

She told me her name (Anne)  and we whisked her to the reg tables of no return…through the zany lineage like a bank promotion giving away free $2 bills to the first 50,000 or so.  I alerted Sara Houde, ex wedding planner extraordinaire, the incredibly well organized organizer~director and she said later she would chase her down.  Great story of hope.  Hope they find her before 2033, age 99.  I’m sure the amazing cast/line up at Relevant Radio, from Fr Rocky on up, can find her.

I needed a script: back to the mass of humanity, I loudly asked “If you are a wheel chaired, walkered lady or man, lame, blind, drunken sailor and want to get out of line, give us a sign!”  25 did benefit from the NEC’s new Concierge for the Crippled program.

The mighty Missionaries of Charity. Yes, short nuns ARE welcomed! These ladies serve the poor and needy worldwide

The blind guy was very content to weather the line; remarkably he said “No!” to special treatment and wanted to continue the back and forth; his attendant signaled he was determined. So I moved on to the next and the next until the embarrassment of NOT ministering first to the least, the lost, the lame, the crippled, walkered and wheeled Catholics, you know the St Lawrence “I’m done on this side, turn me over” Treasure keeper of the Church, the in need of assistance had subsided. 

No one complained, everyone cooperated including those watching, seeing the less ambulatory cut out of line.  I never was carded, nor added my name to the Volunteer Registry wherever it might be.  Which is, as it should be: “See a need, meet the need and move on to the next without fanfare”. Serving our brothers and sisters, the Mercy Works, a requirement of ALL Catholics.  Somehow I do suspect Big Colt security brother was watching, but you do what you gotta do.  Become the “Surprise with Joy” Catholic…

The Pilgrim Fest and First  Adoration

What an incredible scene: four different Eucharist Pilgrim groups from 4 sides of the country converging, with appropriate saints and flavor, at the Adoration hour just after 7pm Wed July 17th.  My beloved son Matt says “Dad you and your numbers!” but 17 IS the number of victory often cited in Scripture.  55,000-60,000 people anticipating a worshipful evening kickoff to 5 days of celebrating (I found out, due to ‘misunderstandings’ between NEC and the Colt Cops, I was on the 2.5 day plan as it turns out).  Celebrating what our GodFather heralded 4600 years ago, through the daily bread manna in the desert and other external and written signs, like 600 prophecies:

His Eucharistic Only Son.

Sunday’s gospel for Aug 11th, (my parents 73rd anniversary) we heard at the Abbey with celebrant Fr Edmund:

The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven, “ and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God.

Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from Him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is My Flesh for the life of the world.”

Day ONE ended joyfully on a high note!

Good news is the videos are out there on Relevant Radio and thru the NEC site, available for purchase, but I truly believe this revival, already bearing fruit, is forging into the Neo~Renaissance long awaited AND NEEDED!   You’ll hear about Springtime and more.  But get BACK to weekly Mass IN THE CHURCH, upper or lower room!  Daily IF you are interested in EXTRA grace and blessings. Confessions.  AND PLEASE: Surprise with Joy; as Fr Spitzer puts it the 4 levels of happiness have flipflopped to codified depression. Become Bold, filled with Truth and Speaking it in LOVE>  

It is in you, in the guise of Jesus the Christ; make serving others instinctive not a chore.  Begin NOW or Yesterday!

HUGS ‘N’ ROSES: Lessons of the armless Tony hug & Lila’s Roses at NEC

Stories growing out of the recent NEC  36Aug 2024   sept 3 revision

“The Cost of Brotherly (& Sisterly) Love never exceeds the eternal Benefits”

Looking to the Eucharistic Renaissance. as Jason’s urging, just joined the Society of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

“Our Church has got to move beyond passivity ensconced in FEAR if we are to revive the True and Real Presence beliefs and help get more souls to heaven.

  FEAR..

is an anagram for False Expectations Appearing REAL. 

Let’s set the table:

From Oct, 2019 onward, based on the hegemonic Mao Tse Xi’s (pronounced in the King’s English as Mao Say Cheese) duplicity and evil incubation of SARS/Covid among 11 million Wuhanians.

These city dwellers included infected workers flown to Italian and Spanish companies, owned by China, that aided (recall?) early major outbreaks where?  Italy and Spain.

We can’t overlook massive medical suppression, lies and Dr Pfaucinstein’s arrogance, while the California Church allowed, tail between our legs, a toddler totalitarian reprobate Catholic tyrant couple, Jen & Gavin Newsom, to do endless evil.

”They locked down schools like loons and worse, talked our Bishops into closing the churches…Get this, NOT in Soviet Russian or atheist communist China, but AMERICA, they locked down all the churches, except for a few unmentioned, like home churches, who defied this nonsense; it really was a wake up call AND theologically, a replay of the First Pentecost upper room lock in.

NEVER again.”  ~anonymous

And the ultimate ANSWER of Who IS important from eternity onward,  is written in the stars. God the Father planned before time immemorial His Eucharistic Son’s place of destiny, as the daily bloodless Sacrifice in two common species: bread and wine.  Heralded on the winter solstice, one Dec 25th in Gregory the Great’s calendar, as the day of His appearance.

Leaving nothing to chance, the Father placed the world’s largest stone monument sitting at the exact Center of the World that points to a Beloved Son’s eternal Eucharistic gift at the House of Bread.  True GodFatherly Love.

Until 1620s, we thought 1000 stars, max, in the firmament; yet there’s a Marian star chart from Dec 12, 1531, Mexico City depicting the Virgin and Child, constellation Virgo over her heart and Leo over her womb, the King of kings. and the discernment of the theological virtues.  Yes, there is faith, and hope, but the greatest is:

LOVE!

‘If I speak in human and angelic tongues* but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. 2And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have LOVE,

I am nothing ‘  ~~1 Corinthians 13…usccb

Tony Melendez deserved life, like all young Nicaraguans, Polish, German, Americans…all humans.  Creed and colors are secondarily incidental to the incredibly perfect work of our eternal Creator; with a club foot and no arms, Tony couldn’t qualify to be a priest and probably not so good at basketball.

But, like his Nicaraguan grandma and Pope Saint John Paul the Great, God knew what He was doing…for all eternity, God has made ZERO mistakes.  Just another human child that defies the evil of DEI and the dying world’s definition of success…EVERY human has a place in God’s perfect Plan.  And no one is sans talents.  None.

With Tony, look at how he’s changed the world over 37 years, one amazing Catholic icon of hope and healing. Drew Mariani, on a recent show put out a beautiful truth: “Humility is the Crystal Bridge that leads us to heaven”

Tony fits that bill so well, no more humble servant on earth than Mr. Toe Jam Pilgrim.

I so wish I can be as humble, for we are at a crisis point as a culture and in need of reawakening this Church to boldness, speaking the Truth in Love.  Few can deny our Church is decaying in many parts of America and the world…but Jesus is faithful to His Bride.

This is no time for “legends in our own minds” and arrogance.  Remember, He washed feet and He was God!  Servant to all.

Please understand, as you read this, humbly, my goal is to encourage others like you the reader to see we are on the ground, looking up as this revival heats up into a Renaissance; no one can deny we are passing through Neo Dark Ages.

Especially the last 4 years…  my friend Steve Hager, the father of a Levi who became a Premonstratensian (ok, Norbertine) named Fr. Louis, at St Michaels Abbey, says it simply: “the solution IS the Eucharist”.

Steve, a member of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher, is the father of two of my kids’ spouses…Levi was Steve & Regina’s 3rd born son, destined and dedicated to God as a Norbertine today, as is the Jewish tradition in the Torah regarding priesthood.

The Eucharist is the Source/Flow, the Summit and Center of our Faith…Jesus IS the center of time (AD & BC), salvation history and in fact, in a very physical way, the world/planet.  All this is pointed out in the Border Middle Fire object known as Giza, still towering though harvested for its pure white coverstones, with just a few of the 144,000 that once graced the world’s last wonder still attached.

Chew on Isaiah 19:19-20 and ruminate this: when the Holy Family fled TO Egypt to avoid the arrogant fool Herod, they stayed in a emigrated Jewish settlement near Cairo. I have no doubt Joseph and Mary, and possibly the young Jesus, saw this marvelous gift built 2500 years previously.

What does all this have to do with NEC and the True Presence in the Eucharist?

Reawakening KNOWING what is true.  We just need more than the recently polled 25% to see the Real Presence AS the True Gift of Jesus and witness to Its Reality; after all, we are the caretaker of the Gift of the Eucharist, while our Protestant brothers and sisters think Consubstantiation or just In Memory, suffices.  It doesn’t and by their choice, they are deprived of so much richness in following the Savior.   As a T-Shirt we made decades ago for our ministry at St Anthony Claret:

We are here for the Food.  ~John 6

The Eucharistic Mass, receivable daily, is NOT a mausoleum of ancient rituals but what Jesus required us to partake in.

I believe our Proud GodFather, for this first half of eternity, seeks this Role of His Son as well…for he pointed us directly to the House of Bread of Life four millennia ago concretely, with no doubt at all.

A minor little hamlet 5 miles to the City of Peace. Bethlehem. The House of Bread, as it is known to the Jews; by the way, the House of Meat to the followers of Mohammad.  But, this object is yet another, though the world’s largest, prefiguring like manna (the bread of life for the wandering Jews); the wedding at Cana (where water became wine) etc.

Paraphrasing the 2nd greatest commandment, “See a need, meet the need IF you can, than move on to the next!” is how I live my life in dyslexic year 27...I begin each sunrise with a mantra: “It’s a GREAT day to be alive! Lord, use me as You Will, not my will”. 

Boy punches out girl at Olympics: gets the gold

DON’T BE DECEIVED BY THE EVIL THAT SURROUNDS US IN THE DEATH CULTURE (POPEStJPtheGREAT’s words).  See the Good!

In so many ways, we have succumbed to the world’s rule, like it’s the 49th day after the Resurrection or 9 days past the Ascension (Thursday, NOT the West’s version of move it to Sunday because Thursday no one will come!  Secret: they still don’t come as they should).  But HOPE springs eternal. To this man of Joy, yes!  Don’t let anything get you down.

Uh, my beloved Catholic brothers and sisters, listen to the stats: they already are NOT coming to  the greatest blessings and gifts darkening the Church’s doors ALL Sundays, holy days of opportunity (obligation) and daily Mass.

Mark these words:  this will change for the better! Don’t wait and see>>>> DO! Be a part of the Renaissance.

What great times we are living in, if only we take off the blinders of fear (there’s that word again) from the godless and the constant lies of the loons, leftists and ObamaNation of Decepticons and Desolators (excellent definition of what ails us, rooted in Scripture).

Maybe the party of slavery doesn’t, but  I understand bearing false witness is one of the written in stone commands most violated!

Look at hell’s immediate response, what happened soon after the latest National Eucharistic Congress, acknowledging on the American scene Jesus’ REAL Presence, 83 years out: 1941.  Ask Anne of Minnesota.   She was there AND in Indianapolis.

Dateline, Paris: The Olympics starts out with, as the Jesus impersonator called it, the “Gay Last Supper.”  Oh, it was only a Greek myth played out in a former Catholic stronghold, France… never mind the arrangement of four three somes, like Donna and I began in the Living Last Supper for over a decade just after Holy Thursday.

…meanwhile Da Vinci turns in his grave. Next, proving Hell’s ascendancy is real, Mr Khelif, the de-emasculation of manhood, husbands and protective men, one of God’s greatest created beings, woman gets pulverized by a sad sick male fake girl punching out a real Italian woman and getting his worthless Gold.

An acquaintance of mine threepeated in Olympic gold over 3 olympics, and today she is the mother to 3 beautiful girls.  Hell assaults God’s Design every chance the demons get; the Algerian Imane Khelif both physically and, as later replays prove, obviously sexually abused Italian Angela Carini, and despite the claims he is a DSD Intersex human, he can never have children like the aforementioned 3peater champ of beach volleyball OR pass the XX chromosome test.

Zounds of Li Thomas….  someone call Riley Gaines!!  Point is, God is NOT pleased; He knew what He was doing when he created this massive universe.

Sad was these profane demoniacs practicing their craft in a former Catholic land of Lourdes and more…

But, we are called to build others up, especially the Church.  So much spiritual activity, so little time to do it all.  Living sacrifices to get more souls to the eternal heavenlies.

As to Tony!  

Friday, July 19th, my wife, Mary and I were enjoying Day 3 of the National Eucharistic Congress; after a glorious Fr Rocky led family rosary and just another incredible celebration of the Real Presence redo, the Mass, we stayed in Lucas Oil Stadium after the beautiful Friday Mass for the testimonials.

In his short time, Mr. Experience Patrick Madrid shared two important lessons.

1) His famous six words aid to show the Bible is interpreted by people differently, typically according to their own biases:  “I didn’t say you stole money”.

Another being a story coming home to America soon:

2) In 1950s China, after communist Maoists deliberately tossed consecrated hosts on the church floor,  the child martyr Li daily self administered by tongue one Eucharist each night; she was killed after pressing her tongue to the 32nd and last Eucharist host.  She wouldn’t dare touch the consecrated Hosts with her hands…

Great stories: go to relevantradio.com or pull in the relevant radio app for more info.  TY Patrick!

After Mr. Madrid finished, the excellent MC announced Tony Melendez was coming up next; I had no idea he was coming to NEC.

Registration was busy as a volunteer Concierge for the Crippled and Lame. Busy with so much Catholic opportunities to minister and dialogue with fellow Catholics,  I didn’t read the vast number of choices for ministry, adoration, Mass, confession completely.

We were in the end zone seats, though no John 3:16 placards around, and I turned to my wife and stepmom, Mary and said

“If they let me…I gotta go give Tony a hug”.

Impulsive but instinctive.  My goodness, this NEC is a Catholic gathering of brothers and sisters honoring the Father’s Eucharistic Real Present Son and somehow the blind, wheelchaired and walkered were unattended to for hours of turnstiled lines toward the one minute check-in at the tables.

Plus Thursday night, someone had forgotten EVERY woman deserves a rose every day; one of the most amazing Catholic pro life stories and voice for the voiceless, Lila arrived on stage sans her namesake: a rose.

That afternoon at Kroger’s, a dozen beautiful reds were purchased for the night’s keynote.

With Lila sharing her conversion to Catholicism testimony, no one put roses in her hands as she came to the podium.  Some unidentified guy in a Sacred Heart Patrol hat tossed them on stage soas not to disturb her amazing story.  A staffer quickly gathered them up, all 11, and hopefully delivered them to the rightful owner.

Often, rigid organizational zero tolerance planning gets in the way of the Spirit, and the organism of the bride of Christ misses the most important need.  Stifling the Spirit is something that happens often, but God leaves NOTHING to chance.  His Godincidences occur, like butterflies, when you least expect.

Tony’s huglessness is made up with excessive kisses…

Tony and his wife Lynn (plus daughter Marisa) are loved by so many; as to my beautiful bride, Mary and I, we’ve been on an adventure, married for 5 years, 2 months and I think Mary’s a bit resigned to Len doing the harmless but NOT ordinary.

Kind of like the Church of old, he sees everyone in need of hope and joy on this third rock from the sun.  Spreading the JOY is job 1.  Always.

Donna, the mom to 11, in heaven since 49 days short of age 49 on 9/9/11, is probably smirking.

Butterflies remind me almost daily of Donna’s boundless love celebrated with 1400 at Holy Family Cathedral a week later post her death. It became the Mariposa nickname for our Faustina, soon to be married before year end.

Frankly, the time for mealy mouth passivity is over, BOLD the effort d’ jour. Corinthians continues:

“…If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing…”

Maybe a character flaw that embarrasses some of my 11 kids, I try to always encourage and help others seek Christ in all things and when a good friend is in need, I must act IF it can help.  Tony was precisely that person.

You can’t see it by his armless demeanor, Tony is one in need, a friend and brother I had not seen in a few years; last time was before Tony and Lynn lost their beloved son, Andres.  Imagine losing your adopted son in his 20s while sleeping; God calls each of us home when He decides.  He decided Donna, after 11 kids and time on earth now over,  moved to eternity 49 days short of 49 years old; Andres at half that age.  But, you should know, Andres’ birthday was just days after Tony’s testimony on stage at the NEC and made this a double opportunity for merciful love of a brother IF the security would allow.

When my Donna went to be with the Lord after a nine month struggle with cancer, she WAS ready and we came to accept this reality: she told me, after a healing Mass, “Len, I got a spiritual healing tonight but the physical was not to be.”

Chemo, radiation, alternative treatments, tons of prayer since Christmas 2010, Donna finished her last 6 months generously devoting her pain to others’ needs. 900 at our birth parish, St Anthony Claret, for her rosary… followed by 1400 at her Holy Family Cathedral funeral Mass attests to her being loved by a wide swath of humans.  Not to mention, the kindness of a family we would soon be related to, gave us the perfect reception for celebration.

The cemetery Holy Sepulcher told us later she was #2 in the number of cars, second to the beloved Carl Karcher of Hardees/Carl’s Jr fame, someone we honored in years past for his prolife work.

Point is, God uses whom He wills; Tony does more than many sporting both arms to toss a football, get drunk and cheer boys, 11 to a side on the gridiron instead of at Mass many Sundays.  Tony answered the call.

When Tony was born, his grandma knew, reassuring Tony’s well loved crying mom God had plans for her son.

Part of this societal decay, what a great sainted pope called the culture of death, we KILL so many today prebirth because our inane, stupid understanding of what quality of life is all about.

It doesn’t stop there.  Look at school boards spaying our daughters like they are junkyard dogs, installing suicidal ideations into girls ravaged with her breasts gone and her vagina scissorhanded to zero… where post pubescence discovery and growing up should reign. Imagine her torment when she realizes she will never nurse the child she will never bore.

Yes our world IS decaying before our eyes.  But JOY remains and hope does spring…eternal. The Renaissance is coming.

Tony proves man’s designs and plans are NOT God’s.  Today, in the world of satanists and imbeciles like Kamalabort, young prebirth children, built with 30 trillion intricate cells, tissues, organs, systems are routinely killed off and parts sold to planned parenthoodlums, a form of senseless enslavement and baby harvesting.

But, for Tony and Lynn, losing an only beloved son in their 20s instantaneously is a tougher burden; another young man we know well took his life, became a germaphobe during Mao Tse Xi’s Wuhan incubated virus; like so many today, our reaction as a Church coupled with infused fear has created a whole generation of fearful automatons: the Gospel and our personal ministering with the Gospel and Eucharist ARE the only solution to renewing our Church’s health.  Fr. Louis is absolutely right!

Meanwhile, in the surreal world, the godless party has a laser carved wooden plank pushing the killing of prebirth kids for sport now being broadcast by putative prez candidate Kamalabort.

The same woman who prostituted herself at 29 for $166,000 400,000 in government panel bucks, built a career that included trying to destroy all crisis pregnancy centers, forcing them to advertise for her satanic kill mills and burglarize David Daleiden’s small Irvine apartment because she is owned by hell’s lieutenants.

Strong words?  Just the truth.

Angels in heaven celebrate every time a soul is saved, while Hell celebrates while we major in the minors, too often, now estimated at 66 million, at another abortion.

Here’s hoping the revival begun by NEC will fuel massive renewal, starting with 55,000 “6th day” victorious apostles of love and hope like on Pentecost ’33, they became emboldened with the Spirit desire to spread GREAT news to anyone who’d listen.

Our Church undeniably failed in its response to the tyrants like the sad Newsom twosome, Jen & Gavin, who shut down schools; worse, closed down OUR churches based on med malpractice frauds and we timidly complied with the Pentecost 2020 lockdowns in upper and lower rooms across the state and country.

People of God, NEC vets and everyday Catholics, the time is NOW.  The fields are flush with humans ripe for the harvest; meanwhile, we squabble over one Lingua Latinam as if the language of Rome suddenly belongs to lucifer; one wonders if our sister/brother, mainly Lebanese,  followers of St John Maron will be shuttered for saying the Mass in the language the first Mass was spoken in: Aramaic.

Only time will tell.  John and James demanded ChristoLocation, right and left, and today we are incredibly rich, surrounded with some much Jesus stuff…but do our actions match the uttered words? Does the high of the Congress gain traction?

I moved quickly (race would be a lie as a 72 year old going on 17) toward the ‘stage left’ side on the right and stood watching and listening as Tony went through his testimony of a blessed purpose filled life; God gives EVERY human being certain talents, discoverable IF we listen to good counsel and the Holy Spirit.  Tony has so much to give.

A great pope and excellent ToeJammer. The pope is standing

  As his testimony portrayed, Tony’s life path was inaugurated one Tuesday Sept 15, 1987. In God’s providence, I was there among the 6000.

Mike McHenry, RIP, a great man..Tony, Steve, a ToeJam pilgrim, Tony’s bro Jose

If you weren’t at the recent NEC with pictures from the past, and/or don’t know him,  Tony first appeared on the Church scene in LA California.

Hollywood style, he first rose up from below the Universal Amphitheater stage that Pope Saint John Paul the Great was standing on.  Bushy head of hair, guitar on the floor, he began strumming with his right foot, left playing the frets and singing a song he wrote for our well loved pontiff.  By luck, I was among the 6000 in the chairs,  with 30 of our St Callistus youth that Tuesday.  As on stage, July 19th for his latest.

We all were surprised!  So were the other three US cities on a 4 city simulcast hookup, with each having a gift for the pope and Tony, the only human one, came last in the City of the Angels.

Ours was a bit unusual but so typical: God uses whom He wants and with major miracles that defy man and hell’s design, He causes good to overcome cheap evil ways of politicians, tyrants, tenured left professors pushing Harvard Hamas hopeless encampments of Jewish hatred and revisionist history.  So many Scriptures come to mind: Romans 8:28 or “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world”.  As this post on roses and hugs should show, “All things work together for good for those who Love the Lord”.

Oh, and the continuation of I Corinthians:

* Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated…

Fast forward to July 2024, though, sometimes there is a kink…despite no complaints over a short Tony hug from anyone in the 30,000 or so, in fact a lot of thanks for giving him the “hug he could not give us”, from sisters, friends and lay people alike.

Only by relying on God, can greatness increase!

“Tony, you are truly a courageous young man,” this great Pope told him. “You are giving hope to all of us. My wish is to continue giving this hope to all other people.”  Over the years, he has, travelling to far away places. 49 countries.  I’ve only been to about 9 of those lands.

13 years later after his floor show, I was privileged to be one of the youth ministry leaders on the WYD 2000 tour that began at Fatima, Portugal and ended in Rome; Tony and another NEC veteran Catholic musician Steve Angrisano led music for Mass and workshops, as we traveled across Europe seeing Catholic sites…like repurposed cathedrals now wedding chapels, and sacred sights Mary appeared at, including a country capitalized by Paris formerly heavily Catholic.

With a million of our closest friends at the time, we closed the WYD week with a huge open air Mass, celebrated by one of the greatest popes of all time, PStJPtheG.  Next came 2002, across Canada into Toronto.

A new day and new pope, 2005 was in Divine Mercy Poland, Czech and Germany, just months after we lost PSJPtheGreat to Parkinson’s as my Polish countryman’s ending covered God’s control of the enemy’s necromantic celebrations.  Odd?  Read on:

Little known, he was an important part of the last days of the Eucharistic miracle Terri Schiavo Schindler…a Catholic sister treated like one of Kamalabort’s Catholic targets, only out of the womb already.

God used our beloved pope’s life’s end to overshadow the celebratory evil of the godless Terri killers, with his dormant Parkinson’s going critical hours after Terri went 13 days only on the Eucharist (from Fr. Pavone, another of the “obedience victims” in this current  pontificate) died that Thursday, March 31, 2005.

Security staffer near the camera, lower left. Len took this pic

At the stage stairs, the man with the Sacred Heart Patrol cap chatted briefly with the staffer and said he was going up to give Tony a surprise short hug.  Maybe the communications with NEC central was delinked, the staffer let him proceed up the stairs

No sign or hint of guys who bench 400 pounds before breakfast…no Colts Cops signaling no one is to go on stage…  Tony had just mentioned “I can’t give you a hug…”   If on cue:

Up on stage, circling around him, I gave Tony a few seconds hug from behind and when he recognized me, I told him “but we can give you one, Tony.”  

We chatted super quick,  for total of 17 seconds so he could get to his new song, created for the National Eucharistic Congress.  I left the stage quickly…headed back to the end zone to sit with my beloved wife Mary and stepmom to an amazing family

Nice of Tony to call this dad of 11 a friend, a brother and blessing, something we all are called to, those who call themselves servants and Catholic.  Sadly, the audio in the control booth must have accidentally got muted and the NEC did not have time for vetting the friend of Tony’s on stage: one guesses it was easier to kick out a Catholic who doesn’t passively follow the crowd but esteems all as better than himself.

Tony then sat down and got his feet in position to wow the crowd…something he does well.

As I headed back to my seat in the rear, I stopped a few times, quietly telling the sisters and couples, the Tony hug was from you just as the 60 year old performer had mentioned he could NOT give us.

Though he couldn’t wrap his non existent, Thalidomide degenerated, arms around any of us,  Tony is truly one good magnanimous man, although graduating Thomas Aquinas senior Elijah points out in his thesis the Aristotelian MagMan is Jesus the Christ, our Savior.  Tony, still, a true servant of the Living God.

God does not seek to glorify the strong and capable; He can use Whom the Spirit discerns will fulfill special purposes.  Especially in a world dying to hear the words of Eternal Life.

Back with my patient wife Mary who always has her first husband’s back, ten minutes later the tap on the shoulder came.

Three Lucas Oil Colts Cops,  football security officers told me to “follow them”. You’ve seen it watching Monday or Sunday football; noisy adult beverage laden fans raising holy hell around themselves. Get yanked and ushered to the parking lot.

He said “Follow me.”  Heard that before in the Gospels, and I simply complied (always a good idea when police ask you to comply) but they took me to their security room near the first aid, behind the seats.

Apparently NOT to fish for souls…NO NEC officials in sight, which one would expect, especially at a Catholic revival: mature adults, even ones like Len, usually can look a man in the eye and explain why the NEC hierarchy decided, without facts or explanation, you gotta go.  Then for weeks after, ignore repeated requests for a report long promised.  Amazing what $700 doesn’t buy these days; must be Bidenflation.

Along the way, I asked what they wanted and was cordial but greeted with the non conversational; I wasn’t their usual meth head or drunk Colts fan apparently.

Recall, the words of Paul in Corinth continue:

(Love) is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

  In the security room was a woman with a laptop at the table; she told me the boss would appear soon and asked for my license, which I provided and the “chief” as they called him came in.  He began asking questions:

First out, from the security chief “did you know we could have tackled you just now?”  (this is Intimidation 101: get the perp to cower)

I said, of course, you are the police and hired security and are there to protect those on stage and the participants.

Dumb question: then WHY would you give permission for ascending the side stairs?  Was it to do a little Colosseum action like in Gladiators’ days?  If tackled, it easily could be a trip to the hospital or worse, but being on the Watch list (I discovered later) could have fueled a testosterone burst.

Of course, I thanked him for not…  I’ve never played professional football and it might make an interesting show, but despite Tony saying I was a friend and brother on stage, less than an hour later, I was learning a lesson.  I did apologize.  Conform or get punished; zero tolerance for an unwritten rule never mentioned.  Be careful whom you show kindness to.  The usual lies against spreading the Gospel joyfully.

What I didn’t tell my interrogators was if they listened to Tony’s last words, calling me a brother and friend, just maybe they would have made a call to the NEC designate for advice… but God was in control, I was at peace and ready to go back to my seat once it was resolved.  40 days and counting later, I STILL HAVE NOT VERIFIED IF THE NEC, DESPITE MAJOR ATTEMPTS, IS EVEN AWARE ONE OF THEIR EARLY TICKET BUYERS AND SOLID CATHOLIC’S TREATMENT BY THE ‘LAW ENFORCEMENT’ TEAM.

Certainly,  I was not a 20 year old delivering an earshot heard ’round the world…but fear IS a motivator and killer in itself.  Despite a great pope’s oft repeated “Be not afraid” or my fave bilocating confessor saint, Padre Pio: “Pray, Hope, Don’t Worry”.

Head officer, identified as chief of police, who didn’t really look like Chris Bailey, the new acting Indianapolis chief of police,  continued:

“We noticed you had talked to the boom camera operator and didn’t perceive a threat”.  I conceded I wasn’t and what my conversation with a hardworking staffer had to do with being pulled from my seat, I had no idea.  The chief of brawls continued and explained.

He next asked “why did you do it?”   Intone the creepy shivers, Big Colts Cops are watching your every move, a lesson.

We were watching you, having seen you toss roses on stage last night.”  Rose toss is now a terror indicative act?!?  More importantly, the lightbulb, tho dim, went off in my head. I’m on a Watch list.

Wow! they had started a cumulative Terrorist Watch file the night before or was it even before that on Wednesday helping the blind and lame?  I have no idea.  As you might have read, NO not one, member of the exclusive NEC hatchet team has made contact.

As a show of his position, the chief let this “I have power!” fact slip out, which is a good thing: the NEC was not in danger from the Sacred Heart Patrol hatted old guy; the people were  protected by super facial recognition tech, terabytes of processing and storage and the best cyber tools, apparently second only to the protection of the Holy Spirit.

At age 72, a planned parenthood sidewalk regular and dad of 11, PapaLen to 22 grandkids, I knew more was at work here, a lesson for all of us: as we wake up and leave our passivity behind, boldness without the left’s usual violence IS achievable.

We MUST have trained eyes and instincts these days, even among 55,000 60,000 minus one, make that two on fire Catholics, because my wife elected to leave as well.  She didn’t have to, but she did.

Roses and hugs are NOT acceptable to a sooo well planned event, orged down to single layer molecules, orchestrated well.

Maybe, with Tim no longer in charge or Jason the new CEO, the NEC leadership could explain, because we NEVER heard back if my pulled credentials could have been restored (as if Divine Mercy was somewhere in the House of Colts,  so we could finish up an incredible revival week of Thanksgiving (Eucharist) that the Proud GodFather is pleased occurred.

NEVER happened.  But I have promised MY report even if they stiff arm me from getting my promised copy of the interview.

Anyone know someone at the NEC for answers?  Still asking.  Might be useful information for the next US Eucharist Congress in 2033.  The registration drudgery was an obvious fail, but resolvable; Bishop Freyer assured me it would be remedied.

But, how do you respond when an obviously involved CAtholic dad did NOT “intrude, disturb or disrupt” the participants who thought it was part of the plan and program.

People of God, this is MY cross to bear; absolutely no complaints, the police did their job, though the transcript shows confusion on their part; as most security and police agencies will attest, it is not easy, as if it ever was.  My question is not for the beer brawl bouncers with badges and guns, but with my brothers and sisters in the faith, those we paid substantial pecunia to.  Paul speaks further across the millennia: 

“it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things…”

8* Love never fails.

“If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing…”

Since these gentlemen and ladies of the law handle Colt beer brawls in-season and the upcoming heavy metal concerts, one can understand they might have a zero tolerance for people doing different things. Like hugs and roses.  Hugs N Roses, a new rock band?

It wasn’t due to a gun shot heard worldwide per Steven Garcia, super security chief.

The earshot heard around the world as I got on an LAX jet the Saturday July 13th early AM impacted their “threat level.”

However, with good police work, when most victims don’t call their victimizer friend and brother or a blessing, you might make another call to the NEC head of excessive enthusiasm and joy for thumbs up or down.  In fact, hired gun head of all security Steve Garcia stated specifically there was no need to change their plans due to Trump’s assassination attempt

Frankly, I am patient.  I’m still not even sure the NEC was aware, because I NEVER heard back in time to seek forgiveness or beg so my wife could enjoy the rest.

I did email a couple times to a contact i had and hadn’t heard yet if my credentials could be restored…or at least get my nametag back.  Now that the sets are down and shipped, the show is over, the best thing, would be the NEC to KEEP its PROMISES and provide the interrogation report.  Couldn’t cost that much nor involve that much time.

Maybe in time for my 81st birthday at the next Eucharistic Congress in country in Minnesota Anne’s 99th year and 3rd Euch Congress, I can come off the “do not fly” list…  But, so many other things have priority, but when Tony called me brother and friend BEFORE i was perp walked, they might have consulted with the Catholic side of the house. 

Maybe they saved a job, as my son David posited, by having me removed from the Church gathered that day (NO martyr nor victim); I will never knew until NEC makes contact.  IF they ever will; it won’t be the first time my Church has failed me and my family, nor will I never fail my Church as well. 

In their view, their inaction could have led to me escalating, maybe without permission, giving some of my past ministry friends well done or worse, hugging them like I did Tony…but I carried no C4 laden backpack, a passport to 72 Virgins in the next life.

But I am a friend of just law enforcement, don’t hate and only despise baby killers like KamalAbort Harris and her ilk.

  Trust me, with 11 kids willing to express opinions, this dad got opinions, which I forever appreciate. We raise our children, the next generation, to discern, think critically, use their God given talents and brains to sort through morals, develop character and in THEIR, not mine, begin leading. One or two thought I should have been tackled. 

In the song of yesteryear, all of us must look to:

“Jesus, reduce me to LOVE”

  But until the facts are all in, it is incumbent on me to say the truth:

GREAT Event.  Fruits coming in in baskets. Looking to pilgrimage in 2025 from Indiana to LA; 2033, next American Eucharistic Congress.  And the discovery of the 2 timer, 90 yr old Anne of Minnesota.

I remained peaceful and content, knowing I was in Good Hands (not Allstate, tho they insure much).

My good friend, travel partner, fellow lover of Jesus, the Church, helping others often, Tony messaged me later he had heard I was arrested. I messaged back, that “No, things were fine…keep doing the great things you are doing.” 

My brother Tony is so caring, always worrying about others.  I didn’t want to worry him since he had work to do.

Why the Roses?

Ever hear of this future saint of Life? Facts matter: a confessional disclosure regarding the roses: guilty as charged.

I bought a dozen roses Thursday afternoon at Krogers, and brought them thru security (no thorns set off alarms) with no problem Thursday night, July 18.

They were destined for Lila Rose, but she already was on stage and talking; the purpose was, as a surprise from her husband Joe, to keep up a tradition that never seemed something for the CIA or Colt Cop blue to track.

Security must have picked up the bouquet up & delivered, because well I witnessed a staffer reach down. Or did they?  The note had her name…and after all, she was a Rose before her excellent marriage. They saw them as a threat and they are.  In the hands of a sidewalk counselor offering them to a woman leaving PP in a car, they most often stop to take the rose and are given life saving information at Planned Parenthood, Orange CA that takes business away from the chief baby killer Jon Dunn who services two counties of female victims.+

Adopted daughter Maria, the military wife Lila and my beloved Briana at a Downey area Prolife conference…and Rose#1

Already beginning her witness talk, I had no intent to interrupt, so I tossed them on stage away from the podium, later picked up by the staffer.  I’m hopeful she got them, since there was only 11 left after a nun/sister behind Mary and I requested one in the crowd.

How do you say “No!” to a consecrated religious even if they are destined for a future saint on stage?

My annual rose bill is way higher than most drunken football fan or sailors pub bill, because I ‘gift’ them out, one by one at Planned Parenthood Orange, for the sidewalk workers, and,  as women drive out of our local abortion constabulary. No brag, just fact. Something EVERY Catholic can do; in California, Staters and Trader Joe’s sells ’em for life. Roses SAVE lives, whether on stage, married to a military man, with 3 kids…or in the hands of a pro life servant.

Most drivers stop, because the lady inside instinctively wants the rose, no matter what happened the minutes before inside Sangers satanic kill mills.

No matter what transpired inside the abortuary to the victims, vulnerable mothers and the status of their child, each is offered a rose and an information flyer covering all options.

Some couples in the car decide to keep their kids and never come back to SangerLila Rose - Husband and wife. 2 years today. To many, many... | Facebook Hell; others need post Kamalabortion counsel.  “See the need etc.”  At least they have a chance to hear the truth and give informed consent to life after being lie to and deceived by the Gruesome Newsom Twosome’s two step.  I remember one recipient, telling me as she accepted the rose: “I don’t want to hurt my baby.”  I told Alicia, noticing the ultrasound pics, you won’t especially since you won’t have to come back to this hellhole.  She and Greg left grateful and since have a child in another nearby state.

55,000 60,000 on fire Catholics will make a difference; its ALL of our abilities to respond, to help women not get injured or killed as their precious prebirth children are massacred inside them inside the Planned Parenthood Kill Mills.  Of course our purists will stick their fingers in their ears if you mention Trump.  Odd how we Catholics preach metanoia, change but give little provision, even after successfully protecting life for 4 tormented years. 

In case you haven’t heard, Melania IS a Catholic.  When Hillary asked “who painted” the OLGuadalupe tilma, Melania is pictured leaving flowers at the feet of a tall Second Eve statue.

Here is the First Lady with the Second Eve. A Catholic woman like this influences our future & past president, immensely

Truth be told, this was to be my 3rd and final rose donation for the Rose of Lila lady because NOW it is Joe’s job.

At two conferences over last decade or so, I gave her a rose from the “guys”. At the Steubenville conference, my  youth ministry guys chickened out about going up and handing her a rose…so did it myself.  In case you never knew:

For years I’ve preached:  EVERY WOMAN DESERVES A ROSE EVERYDAY,

a simple way to value the invaluable precious: Womanhood.  You probably have heard the faux science climate change 100 times before being told women ARE the final created being that led to millions, then the Ark and Flood, then now 9 billion less than the 2.2 BILLION kill mill kill offs already dead, buried but not forgotten.

Everyone should know, God left His absolute best for last, the last act of general creation. He did the simple first: light, stars by the billions, insects by the trillions, animals including skunks and plants, then a muddy male type we know as Adam.

It WAS worth the six day (or to placard the insecure billions of years evolutionary crowd) wait.

The immensely intricate design of the first working model, a 50 trillion celled woman, first example called Eve, that can provide, with a husband’s help, a new life to further the survival of mankind.

Our world is dying by the degrowthers, depolulationists: 50 nations are one generation away from obsolescence, going the way of the doo doo bird and so many think kid killing prebirth is like getting a latte as your mani-pedi proceeds.

 xxxxx It’s not: it is destroying the earth’s RACE

This left God to take the next day off and rest.  After all, He just created the most intricate, most complex being on earth.

“I’m no victim and I accept the results of the hug and roses as my cross to bear.” Is that apology sufficient to satisfy, family, NEC, Colts Cops?  I still don’t know who objected to Tony getting a hug, but I would be happy to give both of them a crisp $2 bill decorated with the blood of 53 signers who gave life, family and wealth for the privilege of 60,000 to gather in Oil stadium.  If ignorant about the $2, look at the reverse side.

But roses for a Rose mother and Hug for a harmless armless Tony did have consequences.  The intake lady took my license, typed a report which some day I may get a copy of, as promised.

As the chief of police continued, he told me he was not going to arrest me but should I darken the Lucas stadium or Convention Center again, I WOULD be arrested.   I got down on my knees and pled for mercy.  Ok, maybe not. I wondered where the Godly Catholic NEC staffer was hiding, like the wizard of Oz fame

Please don’t mistake this for arrogance; there is NOT enough time left on earth for wimpouts and mealy mouthing the Gospel. And with the Super cybersecurity devices and cameras everywhere, it’s obvious when he mentioned a dozen (actually only 11) roses a day earlier, he started a dossier on the guy with the Sacred Heart Patrol hat.

Humbly, this is not about me.  It’s about the stacked deck against religious freedom, against any Catholic witness, only secular religions like satanism, killing kids for sacramental Satanic Mass re enactments, etc are allowed. The definition of communism is foolish godless Socialism pushed by the father of lies.

You’ve heard the “devil” is in the details; so are the angels.  Here is a transcript of the audio recording of the Colts Cops treatment of your Catholic brother and co-participant:

Other then the Colts Cops and an unknown NEC human who hid and never went face to face with his (or her, the other sex/gender) accused Matthew 18 style, Again:  NO ONE COMPLAINED.  THE 30,000  THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE PROGRAM. I WILL GIVE A $2 BILL TO EVERYONE WHO PAID TO GET IN WHO COMPLAINED, ONCE I PICK UP THE $4 IN 2’s TO RANSOM the two folks BEING OFFENDED.  WHAT THE HEAVEN HAS HAPPENED TO US AS A CHURCH?

Sorry chief  It wasn’t a show; it was a witness to brotherly love and FURTHER evidence ANY thing we do beyond clutching our rosaries in the front pew of a locked out Mass room, will NOT be tolerated by the secular world.

I now believe the Colts Cops had zero interface with an NEC official, and if they did, God help us if we throw our Catholic siblings to the wolves like in the recent decade.

Point is: There was a 10 minute gap between Tony calling me his brother and friend and when the trinity of Colts Cops escorted me to security.  The NEC staffer, volunteer liaison must have seen and heard that.  Epic fail, and as St Paul, as a roman citizen demanded rome, as a member of the Catholic Church, I firmly request a meeting with the decision makers.  Chances are, I will never see the promised report.  Not that critical with the audio recording, but helping some one keep a promise.

. There was a 10 minute gap between Tony calling me his brother and friend on stage and when the trinity of Colts Cops escorted me to security.  The NEC staffer, volunteer liaison must have seen and heard that.

Reminds me of the 11 goons that Kamalabort dispatched to David Daleiden’s 600 sf apartment to steal, never return, his recordings of planned parenthoodlums selling body snatcher parts to med labs worldwide…just doing what they were told.

Boldness is NOT violence, it is St Paul, it is us, IF we really believe we hold the everlasting life truths in our hearts and hands. And our friends, neighbors and family are dying to know what we know.  Remember, NO ONE cares what you know, until they know that you care.

The crime in progress.

From the audio record (by the way, I inadvertently recorded): “When you stopped and talked with the cameraman there (obviously, chief and cop crew were watching me, and maybe with the elusive NEC head of security over their shoulder) and they thought you were with the cameraman and if the guy (at the stairs to the left of Tony) (had) not let you up, if that guy had not stopped you (chief, which way is it?) you would probably have been taken off that stage in a different form and fashion.  Huh??

Does he mean pulverized or dead? I had no weapon but the Gospel, I carefully identified myself to Tony, and walked back.  The people clapped politely, not for me but the sentiment of hugging a man who can’t hug.  NOT football fan drunk, just preaching the Gospel with actions.

Chief: He didn’t stop me; he let me up.  Words have meaning as do actions. Look at the “fear fuel” of the 2020s.

Based on Mao Tse Xi’s skillful incubation of the emerging leaked gain of function virus in Wuhan in 2019, 11 million city dwellers were not allowed to infect other Chinese cities with “no fly Chi rules”, just OUT of the country to the Chinese owned businesses in Spain and Italy, when Wuhan day laborers were sent to them and became the earliest hotspots.

The earliest Calif. covid death was a good Catholic man, on Feb 16, 2020, Stephen Atchley, one incredible professor who taught foreign including Wuhan students.  Yes we’ve been lied to but that is the first word of the godless.  We just must improve or serve and get REAL with the Real Presence of Christ.

Other soundbites from the Chief:

“you will be able to get an official copy through the NEC”   Fat chance, the NEC does not return emails.

can i keep the orange lanyard… “Unfortunately that is part of the access credential”  At least, I kept the now useless schedule torn away

“You are very very lucky that you didn’t get tackled off the stage by law enforcement down there”…  Why, because the staff security guy let me go on stage?

“Understand the environment in which we live today”   Unfortunately, Chief, it’s the environment we have brought on ourselves, where being Catholic is right where the father of lies wants us: oppressed and passive.

 

I do thank Colts Cop Central for their exceptional professionalism, and hoping no one else faced expulsion…hugs and roses are dangerous in the wrong hands.  Nor any one lost a job, including my own family members.

Did Patrol on the hat raise threat level to red from yellow? Fact is, when we as DREs had 400 kids in St Anthony Claret’s

WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 26: U.S. President Barack Obama leaves the podium after delivering a statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry nationwide, in the Rose Garden of the White House, on June 26, 2015 in Washington, D.C.

Tuesday night religious ed program, I made them for the dads; it gave them purpose and the kids more security with dads around at an inner city parish for night classes.  It’s leftover from 1995!

Looking back CSI/NCIS style, surveillance might have begun in registration line, though.  The man is always watching apparently.

The Wednesday wait was tolerable in line by actually talking to other Catholic humans. One non Catholic noticed I was talking to others in line and walked up to me.

We dialogued, a fine protestant man trying to save Catholics from hell; a leader from Aleithea church named Noah, with four kids under 5 years of age. He approached outside the center, our convo lasted about 10 minutes and he moved on.  4 kids under 5 and NOT Catholic?  Interesting!!

I did tell him we would love to have him be a part of the Church of the Real Presence going back 2 millennia.  After all,  four kids five and under, with his Biblical name, is just a start of a healthy Catholic family these days.

Yes, I confess, I have a form of ADHD called ADAD. I talk to everyone, encourage them to dialogue (the lost art before covid, cells and shutdowns) and communicate. Some call it “witness”; my kids just say, “there goes dad again”.

Faith question:  when did roses and hugs become a federal issue at the state level in a Catholic conference talking mercy, kindness and love?

I tried to help families make the registration journey easier for these tired UNcredentialed: joyful, walking and encouraging the registrants.  Especially the sisters and the families, since it looked like the line would take a bit.  I may have been caught on camera; just be bland, don’t cause excess smiles, never assume people want to dialogue.  The usual drivel.

I asked the chief about my wife, Mary and he said no, she could stay. Really? How’d that work out!

I signed the unprinted report and officer Keith professionally showed me the way to the curb.  Warning NOT to step onto stadium or convention center property unless I wanted to be arrested.

I told them I did not have any priors, but actually I have given former Miss Lila Rose a rose in the past, and hugged Tony similarly at the Anaheim Convention Center Religious Ed conference a couple decades ago…on the buses and Disneyland area stage, I played his hands at times like the old puppet trick. 

Thank you, Keith, you are a good officer as well as all your team.  But, maybe listen to the whole story from the hugged next time.  No next time for me.  I’m pretty much done with posturing and broken promises.

Ambassador of the Ailing?

Once inside the registration building, I noticed an 80s (old not decade!) woman pushing her walker; I asked her how long in line, she said “2 1/2 hours.”  I nearly lost it!!

No way in heaven should she be there…next, I asked if she’d like to move to the front.  When she said “Please”, I carefully moved the horizontals, and moved her through 4 lanes and to the end tables.  She was grateful.

No Colts Cop or Kevin the Mall Cop stopped the good Samaritan bit; the rule of Catholicism is simple #2 Command: see the need and meet it if you can…”  Love your neighbor and ACT!  Be bold and focused on their needs not your own.  One rescue was NOT enough.

DionysosCorinth in Paul’s time is a good match to today’s blasphemous portrayal of the First Mass, Jesus’ Last Supper.  Later they said, it was Dionysos, the Greek god of wine, theater, merriment..counterpart to the Roman Baccus, one of the 12 Olympians of yore. Yup.

One wonders if it was a play on words, a la St. St. Dionysius the Areopagite.

  Either these sad fools (in need of witness and prayers) never studied Greek and Roman mythology, they at least studied Da Vinci’s three person table alignment times four depiction of 12 Apostles.

Lady lesbian’s Jesus protrayal tells it all, but her calling it the “Gay Last Supper” were quickly scrubbed faster than Kamalabortion’s previous 60 years of prostitution and cluelessness.

“…For we know partially and we prophesy partially, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. 12At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.”

After walker one was on her way, going back to the lines, I asked the obvious questions, a mixture of humor and truth, to the group of revivalists:

“Would any of you with walkers, wheelchairs, canes, the lame, drunken sailors or the blind  be interested in going straight to the registration table?’

Needless to say, over the next hours, we moved about 25 out of the line…25 that had no business being in line, in light of our requirement to take care of the vulnerable and weak the Church is chartered with.  Of note, the lone blind man said he preferred to follow the crowd and his attendant nodded…

Another loss from banishment, if I had been at the congress the whole time, and not removed 2 days ahead at Fri noon, I still had hope we could find wheelchair bound Anne of MinnesoCold. The lady I had talked to the NEC chief organizer about.

At age 7, she was at the last US Congress in 1941; with her family, she and family accepted the trip to the front.  No complaints, about line crashing, as I moved the cross bars.  There’s NO Monopoly on doing good, folks.  ANYONE can!!

We tried to find the 90 year old Eucharistic pilgrim; telling the NEC director about Anne, she said they’d look and thought it would be a great story…mentioned it to others with no success; maybe after the NECongress, during the 6th day of facing the realities of the real world, she will be found.

The 96 year old still gets the birthday candled cake but Anne is a double Congress vet, 1941 and 2024.

In case their surveillance goes back to first day, I told the Colt Security Officers I had, for full disclosure, taken the initiative to be the Ambassador of the Ailing; the Concierge of the Crippled on day one, but they gave no answer.  NEC probably had no idea, in the chaos of a great registration.  But the adage is real: “let no good deed go unpunished”

Talk about an unrequited good deed: Ever hear of the eternal God dying on wood one Friday the 13th day of the Hebrew Abib?   Yes, fellow pilgrim and journeyperson, Jesus died on Friday the 13th in Hebrew lunar land and March 25th, the Godman born to die, that tradition believing He was conceived on annunciation AND dying the same day 33 years later.  Don’t believe a rose tossing hugger: research it in John, Deuteronomy and Exodus plus Genesis. God uses the seasons, the earth’s 23.5 degree slant, the stars in the sky bunched into constellations to shout Salvation History.  Oh, don’t forget Giza: some day it too will be recognized as the Proud GodFather’s Eucharistic Son’s birth announcement.

The NEC can be happy they had excellent security with advanced tech…when you debrief maybe assign this new task and instruct the local gendarmes for NEC ’33 to contact them before booting a 72 year old who paid full $700 boat, no discount, to attend, to make sure he is as dangerous as they believe.

Worst of the worst, the beautiful wife who has to put up with him, stepmom to 11, was robbed of her anticipated experience…after 40 years of Catholic ministry, he never was able to visit Steve Angrisano, fellow former YM Paul Kim (my Faustina babysat his kids), Jackie Francois Angel (and Bobby) who used to practice music at the Beckman Ranch on occasion, so many more, not to mention seeing Fr Rocky’s amazingly relevant Relevant Radio and other exhibitors I’ve known.

If God keeps me on earth, I’ll be back in 9 years (unless I have a restriction in my permanent Catholic file that goes back to St Luke hospital), and Anne should only be 99; at 81, I could still help with Ladies Latrine duty (locking out the boys when they have “no line” at the boys restrooms for enough time for the Ladies Restroom 40 lady line to reduce) which went well after Trent finished his excellent Death Cookie Jack Chick tract talk. 40 ladies in waiting, 3 guys. Gentlemen, opening doors for women is still in fashion, as is showing them respect even if THEY don’t realize.  But, you have to have the gonads to be cross cultural (the Cross first!) and treat them better than they expect…

Some day, I will dig into the mystery of the most perfect created being, woman, always having a line.

Regrets?  Of course, but not that many; my brother Tony was worth it.  From the entrance from four corners of America of pilgrims of the Eucharist through its closing Mass, it IS a true revival bearing fruits already.  We are in day 6, the rest of our lives: let’s pray the first Revival in 81 years as it morphs to Eucharistic Renaissance and into the Springtime

It’s NOT about me, it’s about FAMILY!   Forget About Me, I LOVE You. The other regret is, blessed with 11 kids who love the Church and Christ, His mom and the saints, seeing them embarrassed by their dad doing his extended ministry.

The work of the Renaissance now intensifies

Except mea copa,  I stole two days from stepmom wife Mary who wanted to go the whole weekend.

Counting the cost, we missed out on two more Masses, confession, so no plenary indulgences, visiting RelevantRadio a bit more, names mentioned above, my fave Sacred Heart sisters and other sister orders, and so many friends. I did get to spend time with St Mother T’s mighty Missionaries of Charity (TY Sr Augustine!) We did get to see excellent speakers and energized Catholics over the first two days, including Elizabeth, young Thomas, Cyrus the Great, Fr Rocky, Drew, Patrick & his two grandkids from #2 daughter and so many more from the excellent Relevant Rads.

Some benefits accrued...walking back around the stadium to the parked car at the adjoining lot, I stopped and talked with 7 Event young people, in yellow and eating pizza, at the outskirts of the lot.  Oops, the Hurst parking lot abuts the sacred Lucas Oil stadium and involves an unavoidable incursion on Colts property.  This Road to Emmaus experiences wouldn’t have occurred if we were still inside the Oil dome.

They asked questions about what was happening, I explained about the Church, Eucharist (they were Methodist, Baptist and ex military) and other things and they were welcome to be a part etc.   Point is, getting the boot happens, but if we are attuned to the Spirit’s call in our lives, good stuff happens. Proof?

This was weird; still wondering if the hug was worth it, at my car, a NY family just arrived late and I directed how to get to the registration and convention center.  Then, out of the blue, someone in the Hurst lot was heading to the NEC, a man with the credential/name tag Thomas Payne (no, not the American history hero) asked if he could hug me!!

Not so odd request to a man who teaches young adult men that a side hug IS a respectful way to show friendship when appropriately with an unmarried woman.  After all, she IS the latest example of God’s perfect love and design, based on the perfect model, the Virgin Mary whose Immaculate Heart we celebrate each August.

I said sure and asked Mr. Payne why: he said he appreciated me going up on stage and giving the great Tony a hug for him and the rest of us in the arena.  He must not have been on the high security Secret Servants Cop Crew!

Well, maybe a signal, as I began my justice be damned sentence,  it wasn’t that much of a terrorist episode or putting others at risk as some told me later.  For better for worse, Tony deserved a hug and I’m a big boy to take my lumps. Just would like to shake the hand of the NEC company lady or man who decided without a just review.  I used to believe the Catholic Church is NOT a mausoleum for saints but a hospital for the needy and second chances can accrue.  Jesus’ math is repeatable: 70 x 7 times for forgiveness.

More interesting is the Church plan for how we deal with sin and forgiveness: Matthew 18.  Here’s a refresher:

“If your brother sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.  No one from NEC contacted me by phone, text that the roses were not acceptable being given to Lila.  Fine.
16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.   I guess the Colts Cop high tech routine might suffice, but none of them identified themselves as members of the Catholic Church.  And, if they “caught” me giving roses, this means they didn’t want anything off the plan or without NEC zero tolerance exception.  You know how ritual is a good and sometimes misses the forest for the trees.
17  If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.”   I did listen; the NEC either wants this to just go away, or has no idea.  Still no contact or report.  But, such is life.
 If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.  Well, I don’t work for the IRS but as a Polish-German Catholic, I do qualify as a Gentile.  
Oh well, sounds good on paper (in Matthew’s Gospel) but must be an obsolete way of dealing with someone who doesn’t quite fit into the mold of “shut up and don’t show initiative”.

We missed the Friday night events, among others. As an alternative to the ban, I took our local host out to dinner with Mary; she lives in Indianapolis and helped keep the cost down for us. Being Dad and stepmom to 11 kids, PapaLen to 22 grandkiddoes and 40 years so far homeschooling, we watch our pennies but most important, we make the most of changes of plans.

Personal belief, if our schedules are so rigid we miss the Holy Spirit Godincidences hidden in plain sight; yes, planning IS important but dump the fear blinders and see the great mission field, the world around us.  The greatest mission field is really anyone within two feet.

No answer to NEC email on Saturday (I don’t plan to expose the emailee), so we packed up and headed back to Ohio and my beautiful Jen and headmaster of Chesterton Academy Dayton Ohio homestead and four awesome fostered kids, like future Catholic Noah above, two 5s, a 4 and a 3.  Odd Godincidence, one man is shucking protestant falsies to save Catholics from eternal fires, the other raising the next Catholic generation in Patrick and Nancy’s state.

Nate just got his masters in philosophy, mated to his math masters and Thomas Aquinas College degree from 2011; he and a TAC classmate remain legendary for re-enacting Henry IV with dialogue, after jumping on the tables answering the challenge, with swords in hand.  I just verified this was true at the last graduation of my Mariposa Faustina’s future husband.

Our love for the saint and Divine Mercy is decades old, but not as systemically awesome as Drew’s work each day.Maybe I inherited my joy and enthusiasm, and the unusual from my son.

Note to Colts Cops: the swords were props and non lethal. Nate and Jen adopted one of their six fosters so far and hope to have the last three by year end.

He did give me an autographed copy of his thesis so Fr Simon will be getting a call.  Maybe my fave Fr Spitzer, while we dialogue on Giza and the Shroud of Turin. you know, the Church is alive and well. Yes, we have some issues but I believe, like Drew, the future is going to be a good one.

I have been talking Renaissance for a couple years now: evil is being exposed, and wherever evil abounds, God’s divine merciful Grace abounds much more. Like Moses parting the Red Sea, the flanks of Good and Evil  are well defined today.

The time is NOW to attain Fearlessness. Boldness.  The world is dying to hear the message and taste the real deal.  Time appears short but God’s in charge.  It’s been short for two millennia but rarely as demonic with high tech.

We must learn fearlessness, not as an empty phrase but because we are called to it.

Pope Saint John Paul the Great often said “Be not afraid”.  That famous bilocating super confessor St Padre Pio said “Pray, Hope DON’T worry”. And we don’t need any more Pentecost lockouts as if Newsom was right shutting down the Church buildings; actually, circa 33ad, it was a Pentecost lock IN where fear did manifest itself until the Holy Spirit energized the Bride of Christ.

Why no regrets?

God remains in charge and provides our needs more than our wants: so we joined our Ohio offspring for Divine Liturgy, Byzantine style St  John Chrysostom in Colonel John Glenn land. The Celebrant was a Czecholovakian priest.  Oddly juxtaposed to the 230 Houston Galveston diocese’s front “pews” experience of the Divine Liturgy after Trent Horn’s offering in the Exhibit building.

I would never have met Anne!!  As Ambassador to the Ailing & Concierge to the Challenged, I met 90 year old Anne Lastnameunkown from Minnesota and hope to see her before she turns 100 for Euch#3. Sarah Houde, a great challenge to solve for follow up in the journey to ’33

Hugged Tony, met great people, rosed Rose, enjoyed two incredible Adoration/Holy Hour sessions, saw a French Bernadette theater/mixed media, heard folks like Patrick, Drew, Fr Cheekbones as Trent calls him (he talks faster than a Cubano but what do I know as a German Pole), amazing Music, Fr O’Shea of UofMary, the list is long.

Ok, Patrick Madrid is like the Rush Limbaugh of Catholic apologetics; like Rush, who died on my birthday, when he is NOT liked, it’s usually because he is speaking the truth. Fr Rocky, aka Fr Hoffmansky (temporary last name for a trip to Divine Mercyland), has an incredible family of Catholic Radiologists.  Technology is good for the Church, because the tools have no conscience, just the users and operators who put things in motion.

I guess it’s too late to get our credentials back; the Colts Cops let me keep the schedule but not the orange lanyard.  Not really sure if they thought I would hang myself or try and sneak back in.  Of course, I didn’t.  But I did expect some kind of Christian Catholic NEC team to reach out but to no avail.  After all, the sets are down and back to storage.

As to lanyards, leather rounds, nametags; after leading or organizing 100 Confirmation/youth/young adult retreats from 1981 thru 2012, I have a few in my messy office.

So, we have paid the $69 for the full transcript of talks and presentations we missed.  Although we couldn’t return for the Procession, that 284 foot tall (plus 6 inches) Soldiers and Sailors’ monument seemed to suffice to make the world’s largest Eucharistic Procession have its own grandstands.

Revival IS here; I can make a case for the Catholic icon, that the Proud GodFather planted the world’s largest object at the center of the world to point to His Eucharistic Son 4600 years ago.  Maybe, the details will leak out.

Still being vetted, but it makes sense as part of reviving the REAL presence of the Son as common knowledge.  GodFather has pointed to this Revival over four millennia ago.

Just like Golgotha, it went dark for 3 hours about 2000 years ago on a certain Friday the 13th and remains as a sentinel 270 miles from the House of Bread of Life. Along the 26+ degree “Christ Angle” to Bethlehem.  Another time, maybe? Meanwhile the Shroud, the Tilma in Mexico City,  Lourdes, Fatima, the Eucharist miracles, relics, so much blessings.  So little time.

Patrick mentioned the NEC moved everybody’s hearts; I concur.

Now it’s time for the 6th day (the rest of our lives) to bring fruit to the decaying world and Catholic edifices in need of re- occupation.  The day after our retreats and this incredible NEC experience can often be a let down IF we don’t feed the joy with follow-up learning and physical witness exercise.

Three day retreats we call facing the world, the 4th day, short for the “rest of one’s life” when you come home on a high, your family looks at you weird, friends see something different but think its covid or chemically induced.  Point is, you’ve been changed for good and forever, and sharing the joy and gains is a lifelong opportunity.

My time was not wasted for our shortened stay in ColTown yielded other family and witnessing opportunities; someday when I grow up, maybe I can rethink this.  But the decay world IS dying to hear the truth in Love.  Let’s get to it!

TY to the NEC team and Jesus our Savior.  My wife and children, friends, clients, I love you.

“… So faith, hope, love remain, these three;

 but the greatest of these is…

LOVE!”

The rose and hug culprit is a dad of 11 plus in-laws all family; Papa Len to 22 blessing grandkids, three decades in Church ministry, 40 years homeschooling so far, totally blessed.  Trying to be a good servant to all.  ~Len

Oh, I did call her.  “I’ll call Mary from the car, i want her to experience everything she could…” 

And to my 11 kids and 22 grandoffspring, I LOVE you eternally even if you don’t understand me.  No grandstanding or seeking attention: just living my daily commitment to help others see Christ and live FOREVER in joy.  Someday, you too, will have to decide whether to “hug” your brother or sister when it may not be the opportune time.  Do it for Love of Christ not the adulation of the godless or the Real Presence crowd.

Letter to Jason and Tim, superstars of the NEC
