"Aqui acabam as palavras, aqui acaba o mundo que conheço; aqui neste tremendo isolamento onde a vida artificial está reduzida ao mínimo, só as coisas eternas perduram. O Corvo nao tem peso no mundo ; mas nunca senti como aqui a realidade e o peso do Tempo."

"Here end the words, here ends the world that I know; here in this sad isolation where illusionary life is reduced to the bare minimum, only the everlasting things continue to endure. The raven has no weight in this world; but it never felt, as it does in the here and now, the reality and the weight of Time itself."

''Um santo é alguém que, apesar dos limites e defeitos, vive plenamente a vida de Deus. Com humildade a vive, não precisa de o mostrar aos outros."

"A saint is someone who, despite his limitations and flaws, lives fully and completely a Godly life, with humility; for he does not need to show it to others."

- PADRE CRUZ (1859-1948),
translated by Luciano Pimentel (1969-20__)

The Truth Is Also This:

... that a True Christian
is NOT an agent of PEACE
for The Lord Said
"I Did Not Come To Bring Peace
But Discord..."
For, if Christ Stood among us
today, here and now,
He Would Be the single
most controversial
least popular
man on earth!
The Son of God
Is not about winning
popularity contests
certainly in this world
satan's world
which was "given" to it
when it fell from grace upon it
eons ago...

SHARING and SPREADING
The Truth
(also known as
The Good News)
will certainly not
make you popular
or appraised by
the senseless majority
or even appreciated
in any way, shape or form.
Sharing The Truth
will only make you enemies.
It will be dismissed
as merely "an opinion"
"a truth" not The Truth,
a single individual's truth
not the Universal One.
In a wretched world
where the devil's influence
lies everywhere,
in a society led to believe
that tolerating every type
of behaviour and ideology
is being "GOOD"...
In a world where
the adversary is more popular
and deemed to be "cooler" -
The Truth,
that you are but a
messenger of,
will not be accepted
and will inexorably
fall on deaf ears
- always.
And it will frustrate you.
And it will make you mad
that so many refuse to hear,
refuse to see...
And when you insist,
you will then be labeled
the troublemaker,
the hatemonger,
the anti-social one...

And then you can rejoice
for you are being
controversial
and repelled
in His Image
and just like
his original disciples
were...

Luminous Truth

Victory over death -
Prophecy fulfilled -
The Promise of Everlasting Life
In The Holy of Holies -
With Our Creator

It is relatively easy
for the skeptical mind
and the unbelieving heart
to dismiss all of this
as just another fable;
yet the evidence is all there.

If this is all but a fable,
why does the Name of Jesus-Christ
strike fear in the hearts of demons

Then again, one has to admit
the very existence of demons
in the first place
in order to accept this bit of evidence
but it truly shouldn't be all too hard at all
for a mere stroll around the block
will fetch all the evidence that you need
in order to prove THAT...!
There are far more evil souls among us today
than are angelic, saintly ones...
And those evil souls that have truly
gone off the deep end
will tremble at their core
when you'll invoke Christ;
for THEY know Who He Is
better than the most devout-in-appearance
lukewarm church-going "believer"...
Now don't read me all wrong here;
I am not encouraging the career choice
of demonic evolution - at all.
Stay as you are:
still a redeemable sinner
that is bad enough as it is!
And bad enough as it needs to get...!

JESUS Was Born
He Was Sent
to Redeem us all.
His Coming,
Triumph over death
As His Return
Are Prophesied
By more than a single source.
The mere existence of evil
corroborates His Holiness
and His Being Our Messiah.
Our Saviour.
Our Redeemer.

It has gotten to a point, nowadays,
that His Suffering,
Sacrifice On The Cross
for all of our sins
is nearly not enough -
as the Adversary has sin
at an all-time high
across the globe.

That is why there is still
so much suffering on the planet:
we all have to chip in, too -
suffer our lot
as Simeon, the man who was called
out of the blue
to help Christ Carry His Cross
all the way to Golgotha.
We have to carry the Cross too.
Until the end of time -
until He Returns.
Sword in His Holy Hand -
to chastise those evil ones
who will never accept Him
as their Lord of lords
and King of kings.

KING OF KINGS
LORD OF LORDS
AND THE WAY
HE IS
whether they accept Him
or not.





Profession de foi : Je crois en dieu

Je crois en Dieu, le Père tout-puissant,
créateur du ciel et de la terre.

Et en Jésus-Christ, son Fils unique,
notre Seigneur,
qui a été conçu du Saint-Esprit,
est né de la Vierge Marie,
a souffert sous Ponce Pilate,
a été crucifié, est mort et a été enseveli,
est descendu aux enfers,
le troisième jour est ressuscité des morts,
est monté aux cieux,
est assis à la droite de Dieu
le Père tout-puissant,
d'où il viendra juger
les vivants et les morts.

Je crois en l'Esprit Saint,
à la sainte Eglise catholique,
à la communion des saints,
à la rémission des péchés,
à la résurrection de la chair,
à la vie éternelle.

Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven;
sitteth at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Amen.

Creio em Deus Pai, todo-poderoso,
Criador do céu e da terra.

E em Jesus Cristo,
seu único Filho
nosso Senhor.
Que foi concebido pelo poder do Espírito Santo,
nasceu da Virgem Maria,
padeceu sob Pôncio Pilatos,
foi crucificado, morto e sepultado,
desceu a mansão dos mortos,
ressuscitou ao terceiro dia,
subiu aos Céus
está sentado à direita de Deus Pai Todo-Poderoso,
donde há de vir julgar os vivos e mortos.

Creio no Espírito Santo,
na santa Igreja católica,
na comunhão dos santos,
na remissão dos pecados,
na ressurreição da carne,
na vida eterna.

AMÉM!

On this night
a Virgin gave birth -
a lady like no other -
the Virgin Mary.
On this night
or on some other date
on the Gregorian calendar
- what matters
is that it happened
and a Saviour to us was Given!

AMEN

150 Years Ago; Forever Lourdes

150 Years Ago...

Bernadette de Soubiroux

was blessed enough 

to be granted 

an august audience 

with the Holy Virgin Lady 

in Lourdes, France... 

Her "spiritual sisters" 

such as her venerable

fellow French countryfolk,

Thérèse de Lisieux, 

(seen in the composite picture above, 

at Bernadette's left) 

and so many others

like these two

are truly in a class

all their own.

The third one of note,

and most modern of the three,

is Lucia Dos Santos

from Fatima, Portugal.

She was granted numerous

audiences with the Luminous Lady,

Mother of Our Saviour,

starting in 1917.

She only passed away in 2003.

Of all the messages that she received,

the most urgent and most pressing

is still so very actual today;

to convert RUSSIA.

Many were those who thought it

out of whack with world events now -

yet, with recent activity,

the European Union's criticism

and American ingerence in

Russian policies

concerning Georgia most notably

- with the prospect of another

COLD WAR looming...

The Fatima urging is VERY actual

indeed.

Lourdes deserves to be celebrated

in this 150th anniversary

And the current pope, 

Benedict XVI,  

delivered a beautiful message 

while in Lourdes and Paris 

for this occasion: 

one that told of the 

supreme liberty 

found in the 

absolute dignity 

of purity. 

Bernadette is a great example 

of just that. 

So is Thérèse. 

And so is Lucia. 

So are a great many other 

"spiritual sisters" 

of lesser renown, too; 

they may have not been 

privy to communicating 

with the Holy Mother 

or with Our Redeemer 

Himself - but they are 

without a shadow of a doubt 

purity incarnated 

in our less-than-perfect

sinful world...  

There are countless more like these -

and all are spiritual sisters of great worth

and above average merit

in the Eyes of Our Lord.

As we recognize Bernadette, once again,

let us have a thought for all the rest too -

including those next-to-no-one 

has ever heard of, 

such as those I make mention of 

here and elsewhere...
