Salutation #40

(New Heavens and the New Earth)

To my Holy Mother Church,

especially to the Church in the Philippines -

AT THE DAWNING

of the new heavens and the new earth,

my beloved friend and constant companion -

after our General Judgment at the Last Day

here at the beginning of all things new -

I would that you shall prayerfully

ponder upon these things

that I shall share with each of you:

If the holy angels in heaven are arrayed in their choirs;

our humanity at our restoration shall be arrayed as our one family of nations -

ascended nations, perfected in peace and human community

and infinitely wholesome with all kinds of good things.

For God shall be our Country,

God's perfect Peace shall be our State

and we shall each possess as our eternal belonging,

the wonderful strength of all of our national communities -

all who are good and who have left this world in friendship with God,

reborn and perfected in everlasting friendships with each other in God,

dwelling forever in pious society with all the Holy Angels of God.

True Light shall imbue and permeate our quicksilver reality

with a golden radiance, as the infinite majesty

of the one Presence of the LORD - our one triune Perfection,

shall for all Eternity completely rest

upon the one whole one of our human habitation;

upon all of our worlds, within and without,

shining out unto all of our cities in the visible universe

stretching out from before our feet.

Our own true skies above our souls

shall be conscious and awake to our human longings

and open to the radiant light of our heavens above,

receptive to all our heart's yearnings

as well as responsive to our mind's eagerness to learn -

for not only shall we be ageless as the Angels of the LORD,

we shall also be timeless as they are timeless

and travel the way the timeless and the ageless travel - by speed of spirit -

moving from thought to thought, love to love,

faster than light, sliding from moment to moment,

and we shall nevermore feel pain nor hunger,

neither shall the fear of separation or death anymore haunt our steps

as we labor to discover and understand - together - without effort

the inexhaustible mysteries of time and creation, salvation and redemption -

ever as the vision of our LORD opens up to our souls - face to face -

to bring our lives forevermore into a state of constant felicity.

And,

greatest and most exquisite of all wonders -

our Savior, Jesus Christ - our one True Light,

shall walk among us once again - bodily -

even as the most gentle mind and the most loving heart

of our Lord Christ dwells with us from within

as our own true rest,

ever as timeless as the Peace of the Holy Spirit of God

- within our souls -

bringing us into a permanent unity with the Father in Eternity

and into communion with all the blessed Saints of God -

those prophets, kings, queens, bishops

and the all the true heroes of all Mankind -

each and every one of them servants and friends to Him alike

- from all times and from all places -

whose living fruits are made edible for All and fruitful forever

who are, each of them, elect of the LORD from Eternity

and upon whose happy company we shall be included forever

as the one ascended family of the perfected nations of Mankind.

And we shall know all of this

and many more things when we get there, Beloved of God -

but verily, we will not get there - at the one gathering -

as perfected nations lest our own nations survive here

in this midnight place of War and sin;

here in our hearts, here in our poor world.

Furthermore,

my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ,

at the approach of the closing of 2012, do not be disturbed,

for there shall be many who will say that the hour of the LORD is here.

But until God Himself decides to work out the way

to bring about His promised hour, as it is foretold by our Savior Himself,

let us bear in mind - here and now -

No man, no angel, not even our Lord JESUS CHRIST Himself,

knows the exact hour of the Last Day;

only God the Father knows precisely when the gossamer veil of time

shall be ripped in two

and our fragile, shadowy existence

directly exposed to the unmitigated, immovable, supernatural reality

of the blinding purity of the Divine existence.

So in the unfolding of our reality today,

my beloved friend and constant companion,

here in this present time,

even as War is still among our nations,

let us be sure that sufficient to the evil therewith

is the light of our Day, shining from within,

ever as the numberless stars of our Father Abraham.

Let us be constantly mindful of all of these things

that we may learn to respect and understand

the reason why things are they way they must be:

Why we must make this choice for Peace

at a time, times and half-a-time,

here in our hearts, here in our lives,

here in our nations, here in our Midnight world,

under this greater season of Sky

or forever lose something good in our becoming

- as nations dreaming together this time -

that we will never know the completeness of.

Lastly,

I commend to you the request of our Lady

that we pray for each other and all people of good will

- everyday - as much as we can (when not doing so at Holy Mass)

and work in our hearts to preserve our horizontal relationships

as true individuals reborn in the Spirit of Christ,

as family to our families, as friends to our friends,

as citizens of our nation and of all nations,

and as faithful and obedient children of our Holy Mother Church -

even through her Rosary of Hope.

For the salvation of so many rests on so very few.

These are perilous times indeed.

But we should never fall into a state of despair,

my friends - God has overcome the world - for us.

The First Law of Human Possession

Why did God create the universe first before creating Man?

Because Man belongs to the universe and not the universe to Man.

Nature is not a mere possession that extends out from the hand of Man but rather, Man is its necessary keeper so that from the hand of Man through the goodness of God, Nature is made complete - for Man.

This is the first law of human possession - what Man desires to possess Man must first make complete. For the resources of the earth (and the universe entire) may only be truly possessed by Man by its completion in Him.

Man possesses Nature inasmuch as Nature is made complete by Man through God - for Man - and not destroyed by token of Man's irresponsible use of his or her own human powers.

When I think of this in practical terms, I am presently inclined to think about our current policies regarding land use.
