The Poison

I see your wounds...

I know how you have been 

hurt...each has impacted your life...

yes... you have been changed

and no...you didn't deserve

to be treated that way whether

by sins of commission or omission 

they were egregious....plain and simple...

it was wrong...but...still...I call 

you to Forgive...not for their sake

but for yours...Unforgiveness

is a Poison for your soul...

it's as if when you consume the

contents of its cup you expect 

your offender to die...but...it does 

nothing to punish the transgressor...

they could care less...it only destroys 

the one who imbibes its toxicity 

in a futile attempt at an execution 

of justice but whose caustic fruit 

blossoms on your tree of bitterness 

deformed from its diseased roots -

demons' deceptions / accusations /

lies falsely promising retribution

for your offender but in reality

you are the only one who reaps

the dark harvest in your soul -

not only in this life but jeopardizing

the next...so...yes...Forgive as I 

Forgive you...be Merciful as 

you have received My Mercy...

that is the Antidote for the Poison 

of Unforgiveness... and....notice...

I did not say 'Trust'...that must be

earned...but...if you do not Forgive...

how then can you expect Me to Forgive 

you?...the Fruit of Forgiveness allows 

you to no longer be oppressed by 

resentment...repressed hatred...

suppressed victimhood and the

triggered emotions which erupt 

at any given moment...think about

this.. who has been more Unjustly 

treated than I?...despised / rejected /

mocked / cruelly tortured...Profanity 

of Profanities -The Son of God...

Crucified! - yet even in My 

weakened humanity I asked My 

Father to Forgive them...so...This is 

My Offer to you...Grace to... Forgive...

Let go of your offender's punishment...

Pour out the cup of poison...

Give your offender over to Me...

Trusting Me to Heal your wounds 

no longer being infected by your 

sins of hatred / revenge.. but...what 

of your pain?...the suffering thrust 

upon you?...the hurtful memories 

arriving without notification?...the 

struggles to let go?...your feelings 

of frustration at your perpetrator's 

lack of repentance?... Know that -

even here - I make all things 

work for good for those who

Love Me...I Offer you the 

Opportunity to Join your suffering

with My Passion for the sake of 

those you love...a Deeper Union 

of  our Hearts...a Transformation

for the sake of the Kingdom...

and Know as well that I AM the 

Just One...the One who brings Justice -

whether in this life or the next -

My Grace is Offered to All - both

to Repent and to Forgive - for

All have sinned and fallen short

from the Glory of the Father...

I Am the Way...Truth...Life...

Each is Free to Come to My

Merciful Throne...so...carefully 

Consider and Choose...It is 

Freedom if you Receive...A 

Painful Captivity if you Refuse...

Reflection / Discussion:

-Why is it crucial for your well-being to forgive?

-Why is it difficult to forgive?

-What is the relationship between your feelings and your will in forgiving?

-Have you experienced the Grace to Forgive? How?

-Have you experienced the poison of unforgiveness? How?

-How does 'letting go' of an Offender bring healing?

-If you have sinned against anyone and not repented to them...ask for Grace and take care of it.

-Have you experienced that?  How?

The Agenda

Stupid Humans!...sitting ducks....

ignorant of our existence - let alone 

our Agenda - even our Enemy's Bride 

is too busy being ravaged from within 

to hinder us and BTW...nice work

comrades...decades in the making...

we now have the opportunity to go 

warp-speed...to put it simply...It's The 

Children Stupid!...Ha!...everything is in 

place for the last of the dominoes to fall -        

their most vulnerable and our most 

delectable - thus when we get the 

Children we get the Family then all of 

Creation!...of course we could not 

succeed without the Human Nature being 

so wounded...so easily deceived...weak 

willed...attracted to evil...rooted in ego's 

selfishness / pride...then there's the 

Culture of the World - Sin's playground - 

we have it all - media / entertainment...

social networks...world organizations...

governments... courts...medical fields...

and best of all...education - 'get 'em while 

their young' as they say... we now have 

the table set to wreck havoc and bring 

many many more to our Eternal Fiery 

Homeland...so now...let me review -

and this is so so common since their -

and by that I mean 'Our' - Cultures no 

longer prize 'Marriage' - 'who needs it?'

so...their Baby-Daddies have fun then run...

that leaves their Baby-Mommies to mostly 

abort - killing is always my personal favorite - 

or go it alone.. but if they stay together... 

no worries...we've got 'Our' Cultures 

working on it...which brings us to the 

Kiddies...Ahh yes...the Kiddies...so fertile 

for sowing an Orphan spirt...insecurities...

fears...abandonment...desperation for 

affirmation...and so deliciously naive so

as to innocently consume our Ideological

feast of  Sexualization called wink wink 

Health Class that has a 'Revolutionary Menu' 

including Gender Identity - where 'Feelings 

Reign' and you can pick one or more of the

'Heinz 57' varieties.. make the objective 

subjective...normalize confusion...then it's...

how can you be sure?... feelings are totally fluid...

so many to choose from...which one are you? 

how do you know?...maybe you too can be 

really really special... . and Shhhhh...don't 

worry we won't tell Mommy and Daddy what 

you want to be called....they just wont understand... 

and then to our delight... they say bye bye to 

Reality ..and jump on the Kiddie Car of Lifestyle

Indoctrination which goes GROOM...GROOM....

GROOM off into the Darkness of Deception!!!...

Ahh...yes...the Joy of Delusion!...then it's ..just 

have fun....hey why not?...pleasure is everything...

anything with anybody....how do you know 

unless you try?...haven't you ever felt like doing 

X...Y...Z...? they all feel so GOOOOOD....

accompaniment anyone?...thus we banish 

Innocence to the Eternal Incinerator of Idolatry...

Ahh...the fruit is delicious and a monument to 

our Pride in making the 'Immutable forever 

Mutable' - thus to make that which is 'true' 

to be 'false' and 'false' to be 'true' which invites 

all to imbibe our cocktails of  deception / 

delusion / depression / despair -and best of 

all...death - first of the soul then if we can... 

the body...both our final solution...so...the time 

is now for us to redouble our efforts...pressure...

pressure...pressure...be creative...use what the 

humans call 'Cancel Culture' to enforce our 

Agenda upon them and solidify our gains - 

it's either... Celebration or Cancellation....

we will win if....you are vigilant in preventing 

our Enemy's forces from mobilizing to resist

our Agenda by stirring up our 'Woke Minions' 

who in their vain arrogance will vociferously 

disparage them as 'Haters / Bigots' - anything to 

marginalize / demonize / isolate...whatever it 

takes to shut them up and if we persevere we shall 

have Victory! so remember...and all together now...

The Tyranny

feelings are your servants

not your tyrannical masters

dictating true / false / right / 

wrong no matter the rational

objection nor evidence to the 

contrary...which necessarily

follows from the argument that - 

strictly speaking - they are YOUR 

feelings and therefore YOUR truth...

others may disagree but that is THEIR 

truth - not yours - because that is how 

YOU feel and that's all that matters...

others must respect that...accept you 

as you are...in fact...celebrate your 

truth...and, if they don't...they're simply 

'haters' / 'bigots' since they can't tell 

you what is true for you...only you can... 

because...who are they to judge?.. and 

of course...all truth is relative which is 

absolutely true!...or...is it?...step back...

examine your past decisions...actions...

feelings. whether it's about identity...

relationships...morality...politics..

career...finances...big or little things...

have you ever changed your mind about 

an important matter?  or felt impelled to 

do something which felt 'right' even 

though it might be 'risky' and then later

regretted it? or... gotten angry at someone 

for what they said / wrote because you 

thought they meant one thing when they 

really didn't mean that at all?... feelings

change...truth / objective reality does not...

but just because someone feels something

is true does not just 'make it true'...

many factors can influence your 

feelings such as making assumptions...

mood swings....alcohol / drugs...

not enough sleep...stress from work /

relationships.....incorrect information....

jumping to conclusions...lies from 

someone's agenda...the reality is that 

feelings provide data to our intellects which 

then need to be discerned / examined / 

evaluated  by our reason to put them 

into the proper perspective - many times 

with the help of others who can provide

us with other facts / data that perhaps we 

haven't considered / known / realized - so 

we can finally make a decision with our 

wills...feelings change...truth does not...

you may have a red cape and no fear of 

heights but 'feeling like you can fly'?....

hmmm...let's see...no....better postpone 

your test flight for now....at least until 

you take some lessons!...again...you may

feel like...not studying for your finals /

skipping your scheduled court appearance

for a moving violation...not...paying your 

rent / car payment / taxes or that somehow

were born in the wrong body and you

need to start treatments to change your

body to 'look how you feel' and then

everything will be 'right'  but then

what about all those who 'de-transition'?... 

feelings / emotions need to be put 

into their proper place in our lives...

put to the test...they are an important part 

of our human nature but are not what sets

us apart from other creatures...our

intellect and will - the ability to reason 

and freely choose are our highest faculties - 

our greatest dignity - feelings / emotions 

change  / can be fickle...influenced by a 

plethora of factors ...open to the lies of

the evil one...the unbelieving world or even

our own illusions... so do not build your life 

around them...carefully examine them to 

determine their source...why do I feel this 

way?...is what I feel true 'objectively' not

 just 'subjectively'? what are the 'facts' 

behind my feelings?....when did they start?

what was going on then?...what is really 

going on now?...and don't be afraid to get 

help from someone who will not just 'tell you

what you want to hear' but who is wise and 

will be honest with you and who isn't just

being 'politically correct'...feelings play an 

important role in our lives but do not make 

them 'gods' which command you to obey at

all costs...let truth be your guide...truth that

doesn't depend on how you feel today...

make more measured - rational - responses 

rather than emotional - irrational - reactions...

more in-control than out-of-control...

servants...not masters....

The Surprise

it may Surprise you that I

Really Look Forward to being

With you in that Special Way

each time you come to receive 

Me in the Holy Eucharist...

Everything is Personal for Me...

I Know you...Everything about 

you...your strengths / weaknesses... 

what was going on before you arrived...

where you sit...who is with you...

around you...I know your thoughts...

what is on your heart / mind that day...

especially that you want to be with 

Me which is a Joy to Me because I 

Anticipate our being in Holy 

Communion so much and then 

when it happens...I Love it because 

I Love you...Intimately.. and even 

though you sometimes quickly get

distracted with this or that pressing 

situation in your life...which BTW 

I can appreciate and understand...

I just want you to let it sink-in -

to go from your head to your heart -

that you are Very Special to Me 

and that I Cherish Our Time Together..

now... that might be hard for 

you to accept sometimes knowing

your own weaknesses and areas 

in your life that need work[ng on 

but Please... Trust Me... I Do Love

Being With You...and one day 

we Will See each other face to Face

and it will never end...the Joy from 

the Love we Share will be Perfectly

Tangible and you will look back and

in a glance understand that I Truly

was With you...Working in you -

especially in those Purifying Trials

you struggled with but were so 

necessary to Free you...Heal you 

to become the Child of God I Created 

you to be...and that each Reception 

would be a Foretaste of Our Eternal 

Communion and the Fulfillment of 

your Deepest Desire - as well as 

My Mine for you - so...Yes...it may 

Surprise you...but...It's Really True....

Reflection / Discussion:

-Does it surprise you? Why / not?

-What strikes you about this poem? Why?

-How is each Reception of Holy Communion a foretaste of Heaven?

-Is it helpful to look at the Eucharist from Jesus' point of view? Why?

-What can you do to get more out of Holy Communion?

The Chosen

when you only focus upon 

your choice to follow Me

it can turn your attention back

upon yourself...'see what I

have done'...'look at me'...

evaluating your own efforts...

your accomplishments...

successes / failures...what gifts 

you have / how you want to use 

them...what goals you want to 

achieve in 'building the Kingdom'...

maybe comparing yourself to 

others for better or worse and 

without even realizing it fall into

the trap of  being a 'check-list 

Christian' striving to attain your

next 'merit badge' in the Kingdom

thus continuously gaging your own 

progress in gaining the praise of 

other 'disciples'...to put it simply...

becoming 'proud of your humility'...

it is a deceptive focus on self...a false 

independence which leads one further 

away from rather than closer to Me...

more of you and less of Me...so... 

instead... focus on the fact that I 

Chose you to follow Me even though 

I knew your every thought . word / deed

every imperfection / sin...

every failure as well as 

every temptation your mused

upon and still... I Chose you...

before you even thought about it...

before you loved Me in return...

humbling isn't it?...Knowing 

you as I did and still I Chose you

why?...because I Love you

as you are...but I Love you 

so much that I do not Choose

to leave you as you are...rather

I Choose to transform you into a 

Perfect Image of Myself in order

that you may share My Divine Life

Perfectly for all Eternity...

that is My Plan for you and your

role is to Cooperate with My Grace

working in you...to Follow My 

Holy Spirit wherever He Leads you..

to use the Gifts as He Directs...

to Live out My Life within you

by His Power...not by yours...it is

a Journey of Transformation that

begins and ends with My Love...

Calling out to you to Become One

with Me...so...when you experience 

your weaknesses...failures...sins...

when following Me becomes

really difficult...when I ask 

things of you that stretch your

boundaries...that require you to

repent / change / sacrifice in order 

to be a witness of My Love / Word

in a fallen world which may then 

cause you to be 'cancelled' / persecuted / 

punished...to lose your possessions / 

family even life itself...Know that I 

Love you...that I Am always with you-

even when you do not experience Me

I Am Faithful...You are Mine and 

I Belong to you... so...Remember...

Ponder this Reality...

YOU... ARE..CHOSEN....

MY BELOVED....FOREVER

-What are some of the ways pride can influence our faith-walk?

-What are some of the 'merit badges' we can go after?

-How can we avoid centering our faith-walk around ourselves?

The Line in the Sand

the day is at hand

time to choose

for or against

no matter the cost or

personal price to pay

they will not let you

slip away unnoticed 

hide in the basement

blend into the crowd

you will have to 

wear the badge if you 

disagree with them

a sign of your 

nonconformity - hatred

in their eyes but

nonsense in your eyes -

it will be your badge of

courage...faithfulness...

love / honor / standing

for the Truth / Reality

but ignorance / bigotry in 

their world...you will have

to endure like your Master...

receive like unto what 

He Received...it will be 

painful...humiliating....

they will come for you...

your family....job / business...

careers will have to change...

relationships will be ended...

friends will no longer be 

there for you...nor some 

family members despite 

your love for them...problems

will arise that you never

imagined would come knocking

on your door let alone take over

your life...money...reputation...

pressures of every kind even on 

your children....all because of 

Him...yes...He is the Line in

the Sand...the Pont of Contention...

what He Said...Taught...Passed on...

the Truth about Reality...Life...

Who you are...What you are

Called to Be in this World...

His Witness...Follower...

Disciple...to speak as He

Spoke...to say what He is

Saying now...Truth in Love...

to deny His Teaching is to

deny Him...to please the world

is to displease Him...to agree

with the world is to disagree

with Him...He told you this 

was coming...that they would

hate you because they first 

hated Him...only now it's 

not just written words...

it's here...in your face...in

your children's faces...what 

others - in times past...in 

other places...cultures...

circumstances have had to do...

say...live...endure...now you are 

called to replicate...make your own...

Stand...Fight - not with weapons

of this world but in Spirit / Truth...

not returning hatred but Love...

not by might / power but by Grace

for on your own you will fail...

you will not be able to live

Virtuously by merely trying

harder...it will only be possible

if you are One with Him...

depending upon His Spirit of

Power...day by day...supporting

one another in the Lord...loving

one another as He loves us...and

lastly...Rejoicing in the Lord...

that you are Chosen to suffer 

along side Him .knowing that 

He is Risen!...He lives within you...

He will never leave you nor 

forsake you...He will always

Love you...Dearly / Infinitely....

remembering that all you see / 

hear / experience will pass away...

only what is in Him will Stand...

Forever...do not fear those who 

can merely kill the body...rather

be in Awe of He who has 

Power over death...who can

Destroy the soul in Fire Forever...

He is the Line in the Sand so

Choose Wisely and Fearlessly 

Obey God rather than man
