Salutation #126

One does not need
to look at the sun - to see -
the day that is all around us.

Likewise -

One does not need
to see the LORD - to know -
that God is and He is God!

(The Miracle of the Sun)

The manifestation of the sun
at the closing of the Fatima visitations
- was a visible herald -
of the manifestation of the Light
here, in our own times.

- selah -

We are in a spiritual darkness.

Our world is caught fast
in the depths of an invisible night.

And
just as the sun
was the chosen instrument
that sealed the miracle at Fatima,
this Light is
Who shall seal for all the miracle
that shall mark for each of us the closing
of the last great age of War.

For this Light is
as the sun in those days.

For just as the sun shines
to give sight to the eyes of our body,
this Light shines
(being the true seeing in our seeing)

to restore sight to the the eye
in the heart of Man.

For this Light is the Holy Spirit. 

The Spirit of the LORD consuming with fire
come to transform our world and bring our nations
out of the darkness and into the Light!
---<--@



My brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ -

The message of Fatima

does not have to be read again to us.

Nor its miracles again be sent
to spur our memory of things above
and beyond our earthly plane;
of things true and Divine.

Suffice it for us to know today 

we have a choice again.

We have a choice again to make
- here in this, our century -
to determine the nature and reach
of the next hundred years.

- selah -

We have a choice again to make
- as nations dreaming together this time -
even at the crossroads, here and now,
at the threshold of another thousand years.

And the things of the last century,
if not the burden of the last 2000 years,
should have prepared us to make this choice.

So let this choice be one for Mother
and let this choice be one for peace.

Let this choice be one for us,
and the common generations of life.

(This is the best mother's day gift
we can offer to our Lady, our Queen Mother Mary,
who is so solicitous for the common welfare of our humanity
this close to the closing of another age.



May peace be to all our mothers, across all our nations in time,
as we remember the universal heritage of motherhood
this Mother's Day 2012.)

Prayer for Peace to Mary, the Light of Hope

Immaculate Heart of Mary,
help us to conquer the menace of evil,
which so easily takes root
in the hearts of the people of today,
and whose immeasurable effects already
weigh down upon our modern world
and seem to block the paths toward the future.

From famine and war, deliver us.

From nuclear war, from incalculable self destruction,
from every kind of war, deliver us.

From sins against human life from its very beginning,
deliver us.

From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity
of the children of God, deliver us.

From readiness to trample on the commandments
of God, deliver us.

From the loss of awareness of good and evil,
deliver us.

From sins against the Holy Spirit,
deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ,
this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings,
laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin:
individual sin and the "sin of the world,"
sin in all its manifestations.

Let there be revealed once more
in the history of the world
the infinite saving power of the Redemption:
the power of the merciful love.

May it put a stop to evil.

May it transform consciences.

May your Immaculate Heart
reveal for all the light of hope.

AMEN.


by Blessed John Paul II

Salutation #70

The Peace of the LORD be with us all.

Be wary of those tired old conventions of past things -

for the LORD is not a God of divisions!

Nor is thy God a maker of lies and a sower of confusion.

For the LORD God is but one God alone -

nothing rises out of the darkness into the unity of God

that does not lead to the Truth.

You have the written Word of God in thy Scriptures

as well as the Word of God unfolding in thy present reality -

see from the witness of history where the will of War has taken thee

and discern from the faithfulness of God where it shall all lead.

- selah -

(A Call to Remembrance)

O MANKIND, my nations,

saith the LORD, our God,
where is thy one heart?

The heart that yearns
to be one as I AM one.

O ye believers, listen:
Have thou loved the other?

Have thou seen through

Babel's confusion?

O ye peoples, gather about!

Return to Me, O my portion,
come and learn again My ways
for My ways lead thee to life
and My Peace is thy only path.

Know ye the Truth

and I shall set thee free.

I am the LORD, thy living God:
Behold! I am but one God alone,
worship Me not with thy divisions!

Serve me not with wars' ambition
but turn away, O stars of Abraham,
and serve the life of My creation.

Salutation #68

To use a line from the recent HBO mini-series, "Game of Thrones":

"Winter is coming, we can not afford to fight a war among ourselves."

(The Evil in all evil things)

If guns were the root of all evil,

we'd be fighting these wars

with sticks and stones instead.

If money were the root of all evil,

we'd still be poor for lack of love.

If people were the root of all evil,

why are there still people in this world

so much in need of our humanity?

For God does not suffer evil without a cause!

And if God were the root of all evil,

why do we suffer all these questions?

Alas! There is an Evil in all evil things -

all that in spirit sows diverse corruption in the soul of Man

causing the human spirit to turn against its own self;

inspiring the human heart with adulterous lies

and the promise of empty, defeated things

poisoning both the willing as well as the unwary of soul

with false inspirations wrought by the fallen vision

of the eternal destiny of the nations of the children of Mankind.

This spirit is the spirit of War -

the ancient adversary of all national community;

an emptiness that seeks to consume as if with fullness -

crafting division, sowing discord, scattering peoples,

and devouring generations entire.

- selah -

We shall not be useful against War.

For to contend against it - and therefore, against each other -

is what War desires for us to do.

We are to build from upon these times,

the better, brighter, kinder shape of things to come;

maintain it where it needs, advance it where it should,

defend it where we must, always being mindful -

to never exceed ourselves in our observance of peace.

For the more we build upon our peace as one nation,

the more we drive against the darkness of War - and -

as we press on and away from this midnight of our times,

the more sense of hope we shall meet along the way,

ever the nearer we are to the breaking of the day

- where the new age awaits -

ever shall we also know Peace

in our heart of hearts.

And even if we do not live to see those days,

for we are here to nurture trees whose shelter we shall never use

and to build the foundation of things we shall never finish

- if we believe in the LORD and in each other -

if we endure despite ourselves and prevail in unity and in the Good,

in spite of all these things, we shall,

at the one final gathering of all our nations,

I know, come to a knowledge of these things...

- selah -

O my beloved people -

remembrance is the bond

that binds together our lineages,

our families, tribes and our peoples,

into that one gathering sense

of a self-cognizant identity

that we recognize as our nationhood.

It is in our spirit;

a unity bound by our labors

to obtain from God and heaven,

the vision of our peace - here on earth -

in time - and - unto the fulfillment

of time as we know it.

It is a unity fostered and protected by our one Republic - forever -

and a Republic guarded jealously by the Angel of the Philippines.

If there were a billion of us who belong to this one nation of ours,

endowed by our liberty with the same strength of diversity,

we would each be possessed by the same awareness

of what makes our belongings to each other

a valid and common reality.

We are children of the Promise

and born to this Land of Promise

unto a labor of common dreams

as citizens like unto each other.

We are Filipino

who by any other name

is what binds us together

as this one Filipino nation.

And this sense of belonging applies

so long as we exist as a people

together in time (our generations)

and across dimensional space (our families, our tribes)

so that if there were only two of us left,

it would still be the same truth.

Therefore, as a nation, when we forget,

it is worse than when we knew nothing.

For when we knew nothing,

there was nothing to forget.

But when we forget,

we are always divided against something.

Worse, it is always something

we should never have forgotten.

The War in Heaven is in the heart.

Never Again!

Revelation 12: 7-9

O Holy Michael,

by the power of God,

the dragon prevailed not!

O Heavenly Hosts,

by thy swift and powerful ascent

to the unity of the LORD,

Satan and all his fallen angels

lost their place in heaven.

War is vanquished forever!

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary

"A Christian without prayer is like a soldier without a rifle."

My brothers and sisters of the Promise, I have always stressed both the importance of prayer as well as the universality of prayer.

Prayer is as necessary to the soul of Man as breathing is to his body.

There is no Man on earth - past, present, or future - who, having seen creation in a constant state of prayer, has never thought to look inward and gaze into the depths of that irresistible Silence within himself without asking the questions he knows in his heart of hearts he may only address to God.

No human heart is fool enough to resist the power of prayer. Indeed, all of creation around us - seen and unseen - exists in a constant state of prayer.

Therefore, no Man who has ever existed, exists or shall ever exist may ever truly claim to have never prayed.

For prayer is a common human need. It is an attitude of the human heart.

In a faithful Republic, prayer is protected and this protection extends especially to all places of holy worship - temples, churches, synagogues, and mosques.

Prayer is the first thing. It is also the last thing.

- selah -

Brothers and sisters in Christ the Lord, the Roman Catholic feast we celebrate today is perhaps, the only feast that celebrates the power of prayer. It is significant in our times in that, it has the power to bring our nation into a state of more perfect unity.

As nations, we have been formed in battle - the history of the feast of the Holy Rosary is witness to this fact - War is the reason for which we now exist as nations.

As nations, we have fought each other for so long it has become difficult to accept that Peace, not War, is the Cause for which we have always existed as nations.

War gave us our fiery births. But God is our beginning as well as our last end.

I bid us to reflect on this and to also reflect on our Rosary of Hope. October is after all, the month of the Most Holy Rosary.

In this new age of peace, the Rosary will take on a new significance. It shall serve to combat the greatest nemesis of the Queen of Peace - the beast of War.

So let us honor our Lady by learning to be strong in Christ, our Savior, and let us begin this by a persistent, almost suicidal bent on Christian prayer.

After the omnipotent and invulnerable prayer of Holy Mass, let us cling to the humble, trusting and thoughtful recitation of the Rosary of our Lady as a choice weapon in the spiritual combat.

Let us become proficient in its use!

Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Patron Saint of the Suffering Addict and Refuge of the Recovering Addict, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Blessed Jacinta Marto, Courageous for Sinners, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Prosper the Peace. Prosper the People.

Remembrance as Virtue

Remember Now,

my brothers and sisters of the Promise -

Our remembrance is a virtue.

It is born from the cardinal virtue of Justice.

One who is guided by remembrance

can not be by evil inspired.

For no virtue may be used for evil purposes.

Remembrance does not serve

to throw the present into the confusion of the past.

It serves to add to the momentum of the present

the present hopes of every generation past.

If the present seem dim, O my nation,

it is because the future seem distant.

And the future seem distant

because the glories of the past is somewhere forgot.

Remember the good things and build upon it.

Remember the evil things

and let this lead you to a remembrance of the good things.

Never build upon evil inspiration.

It is not remembrance to hold on to a hatred of past misdeeds

and remain in thrall of the gravity of War.

For what redeems is virtue sufficient for every generation.

By virtue the long night is overcome.

Salutation #12

War is a form of national insanity. It seems right only in its own context and in its own time. But for all nations without exception it is an historic fact that it is always painful to have to eventually wake up to its aftermath. And ultimately, all nations that must succeed must wake up.

War serves no nation...

(Time, Times, and Half-a-Time - Refer to Daniel 12)

PEACE, I salute you.

Winter is coming, O ye nations.

Time is the first 1000 years!

Times is the second 1000 years!

From the year 0 to the year 2000,

all the nations of our Mankind

have beheld the face of the Dragon (of War, or the Beast of War).

(Notwithstanding that, if remembrance serves us well,

it goes further than that - to the time of Abel.)

Within the last 2000 years every nation upon this earth

have been sorely afflicted - within as well as without -

without exception

by the devouring spirit of War

and we have all paid for it

with the lives and promises of our citizens;

our original lines of rulers decimated.

All our nations have become common witnesses

to the ravages of conflicts wrought by War in the heart;

conflicts that have evolved into wars

capable of engulfing the whole of our world,

conflicts that have produced unspeakable abominations,

conflicts that have spawned offspring after offspring,

and genocide after genocide.

Indeed, War lusts after all our nations equally

and respects no distinctions, weak or strong, least to greatest,

rich or poor, of whatever time, creed, or nation -

everything is devoured by the gravity of its relentless ambition

to bring complete and utter annihilation

to the sheltering peace of our brotherhood

and lay to waste all the generations of the children of Mankind.

Half-a-time is a choice - it is a quickening in the soul!

It is a call to respond to the gathering sense of the new age of peace.

And this choice is an individual thing to make.

It is a choice to exorcise the past

and become reconciled to the peace of the present times.

And though, it is not an easy thing to make

it is a necessary stand to take - to complete our remembrances.

For the consequences of not making this choice is insufferable

and we will not survive the onset of this last wintering

if we do not stand together

dreaming as nations this time.

You must therefore consider the whole of the last great age of War

as one entire argument - a time, times and half-a-time quickening.

And look no more for answers wrought in the mold of past things.

The difference between 1335 days and 1290 days is 45 -

2045 being the maximum limit of the labor of the times.

It commissions in particular, these two generations, X and Y,

to lay for the generations of life the foundations of a better age.

The sum of 4 and 5 together makes 9 -

2009 being the minimum limit of the labor of the times.

Because this choice, my beloved,

was a work of thy heart begun by the LORD in 2009.

Now, the world forgot the lesson of 2000

that the LORD, thy God, O beloved of my heart,

delivers from evil.

It shall not forget the lesson of 2012

for the LORD, thy God, O beloved of my heart,

delivers from evil.

2009 to 2012 then is a work of thy heart -

a time set aside for you to respond to the calling of the times

and make the choice to complete your remembrances

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

and from star to star, one whole sky.

2012 to 2045 is a work of thy hands -

for the work of thy heart must precede the work of thy nations.

This is our time to build a better world built on saner foundations.

This is our season to prepare each our shelters of Country

for the final winter to visit this earth.

Be thankful and respond to the calling in thy heart therefore,

incline thyself to the labor commanded by the LORD of this present time

and make the awakening choice at a time, times and half-a-time -

be present for the peace of this new age.

Exorcise thee in thyself the persistent shadows of past things

and stand thee together to create a new history in the here and now

for you must never again look past 2009 for answers to present troubles,

answers you must now as nations dreaming together

possess in the here and now of this present age of peace.

The spirit of War is ancient

but the spirit of Peace is equally ancient

and possessed of a promised victory

you yourself is capable of validating in your heart of hearts.

Let this peace therefore

rule each of thee in thy heart, O ye nations,

and enter thee, a brotherhood,

into the promise of this new age.

Winter is coming.

My honorable compatriots, it all might seem so simplistic, I have thought.

But so too are the words, "stop fighting for the sake of fighting alone" or "stop dying for the wrong causes and start living for the right ones", simplistic as well.

Truth is, the message is simple - our world is at a crossroads in time the truth is evident: Our entire planetary community is threatened by the spirit of War.

Here now is a choice for Peace.

Let us choose it today while it is still today.

Tungkol sa Spratly

Mga mahal kong kapwa Pilipino, huwag po tayong magpapadala sa labis na takot. Tunay ngang maraming nangyayari sa ating mundo sa mga araw na ito. Pero wala ni kahit isa sa mga ito ang pinapayagang mangyari ng Diyos ng walang pahintulot.

Siya po ay ang PANGINOON, ang Diyos nating lahat.

Lahat po ng bagay sa ating mundo na binibigyang pahintulot ng Diyos ay ayon lagi sa kagustuhan Niyang tuparin ng lubos ang Kanyang mga pangakong binitiwan Niya para sa lahat ng ating mga henerasyon patungo sa ikabubuti ng ating pagkatao at ikagagaling ng ating sangkatauhan.

Huwag po nating pangunahan ang Diyos ng labis at nakabubulag na takot sa mga kalamidad, mga giyera o mga pangangmabang dulot ng mga sabi-sabi tungkol sa mga pangyayaring hindi kanais nais sa paligid natin at sa paligid ng bansa nating Pilipinas.

Katulad na nga po nitong isyu ngayon sa Spratly.

Kapayapaan lang po at kahinahunan ng ating mga loob at kapayapaan na rin po ng ating bansang Pilipinas at ng ating mga bansang kabalikat ang nais Niyang subukan at patatagin dito.

A Remembrance of Fatima

EVERY NATION as a whole
in time and in dimensional space
is vulnerable to one sin
and one sin alone:
The sin of wars' evil ambition.
The one sin that divides
the one Noahide covenant
that established the one family
of the nations of Mankind.

For each nation is an altar of life
who lives to unite the hopes of her people
that her peace and her people's peace is one
a one nation in the one LORD,
a one whole upon the one greater wholes
within the one governance
of Divine Providence.

O my beloved children, turn away (from war)
and build upon the peace of Country.
Spread thy sheltering wings, my nations
of the one family of the nations of Mankind!
See all thy living communities safely across
the vast desolation of War's great abomination.(All to my All, 20080914)
---<--@

To the NATIONS:

O MANKIND, my nations,
today is not the same as it was
the world is beginning to speed up once again.

Who is thy enemy, O ye nations?

Do not look to Russia, she is as each of you
an integral part of the one Noahide covenant
that established upon the threshold of faded Eden
the one family of the nations of Mankind.
Does not her people hope as we hope?

Who is thy enemy, O ye nations?

Do not look to the honorable ummah of Islam,
for she is as much a holy vessel
in the service of Sacred Life
as the honorable religions of our world -
an imperfect child among imperfect children
and born of the one Abrahamic promise
much misunderstood, yet willing to give much.

Who is thy enemy, O ye nations?

Look into yourselves, O Mankind, repent!
None have been found but many are being sought.

Look into yourselves, O ye nations, repent!
Establish thy ground upon the holy ground of life
and believe again in the sacred hope of thy founding.

For War itself shall test thy limits
but only those nations of good will
who are destined by our LORD to prevail
will be converted to the one peace.

The rest will not withstand War.

For those that continue to sow in war
shall begin to reap the fruits of war.

But those who are of good will shall sow in peace
and those who shall sow in peace shall labor in the land
and those who labor in the land shall reap prosperity
adding to the life of her people, giving length to their days;
a hope that endures unto many generations.(All to my All, 20080914)

A Prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace

O Immaculata!

My Mother and Queen of my Heart,

I love thee but do not deserve thee.
For it is the boundless mercy of God,
O Blessed Virgin Mary,
that made thee my Mother
and I thy unworthy son.

O Refuge of Sinners,
without whom I would perish,
I am thankful to God for thee!
O dearest Lady,
may my love and appreciation for thee grow,
by special grace of God,
with each day I walk this life with thee
in the path that our Savior has chosen for me.

O great Mother of God!
I humbly beseech thee,
give me strength against thy enemies
and allow me to praise and honor thee.
O glorious Leader!
Help of Christians, lead us to victory -
toward a new age of peace and renewal for our world
through the Eucharistic reign of Christ
in the hearts of all Christians
in the Name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.

AMEN.

A Message to the European Community

FORGET NOT the cradle that gave rise to your present hope of civilization.

For hope is a lineage, it's strength lies in the anchor of it's promise and a promise never made by human hearts. And thy anchor, dear Europe is Christianity.

To forget this lineage is to become mired in a seasonless existence, one that is completely detached to the sage counsels of the past and utterly oblivious to the near infinite promise that the momentum of the present is able to unleash at the approach of tomorrow.

Do not lose yourself in shadow, a denial of both the light as well as the darkness, a denial that shall ultimately deny thy peoples their sense of common destiny.

O dear Europe, if you earnestly desire to show universal religious respect, then begin by showing a fearless respect of your own, because it is only by doing so, that you shall learn that happy sense of reciprocity that shall lead you to a sincere respect of other honorable religious traditions without syncretism or hypocrisy.

As a tree without it's roots shall never bear fruit, a nation without a soul shall never discover it's dream and those nations who do not dream will never awaken to the labor of it's own hope.

A continent is as an orchard of these trees and tasked with the care that ensures that every tree bears abundant fruit and as an orchard can not be denied it's soil, a continent can not be denied it's roots. And thy roots, dear Europe, is Christianity.

Realize this, O dear Europe, without being colored by the distorting paradigm of War as a whole. And then be at peace with yourself, your past, your present and your tomorrows.

SALUTATION #2

(One Whole Sky)

Look at our time today
and the world we move in
everything about it
is born of the will of war.

There is much despair
there is much suffering
as all our kindred peoples
labor through oceans of tears
our common human hopes

- forsaken -
in the darkness of our time.

Let us then take ownership
of the status quo
and instead of feeding
into war's evil ambition
the near limitless
potential of our own souls
let us apply ourselves
under the eternal vigilance
of our one Almighty God
to the labor of each our Country
by our absolute turning away
from the descendant gravity
of war's evil ambition
into the ascendant direction
of the one whole peace
and build upon our civilization
the sheltering wings of God's peace
to serve and defend
the life of our common humanity
wheeling as numberless as the stars
shining across the midnight emptiness
of the season of the sky
toward the twilight breaking
of the new millennial age
and a better, kinder, safer, brighter world
for all men, women and children
of every nation
of the one covenant family
of the nations of Mankind.
