"Is your crutch one of these words, or both of them? IF or BUT As you use these words, do you find justification in them and with them, for your lack of Faith, lack of understanding in how God would work, or your lack of faith in other people; or, by the use of them, do you feel you are covering all angles in case the statement you make is not altogether true? These words are small, often used, and most of the time justify negative approach, negative feelings, negative circumstances, or negative faith. Sometimes people say beautiful words, giving…
View Entire Teaching"What does this mean to you? Some people have an alibi for every moment of their lives, and for everything they don't do or do. An alibi says you are covering your action -- good or bad -- with reason, place or things, most times unrelated to the question at hand. Alibi can also be just plain lies." "Stop blaming your actions, or lack of action, on circumstances, people and environment. Start with your own will, and there is a good chance you will find you are ignoring logic and truth, or you are afraid of logic and truth, or…
View Entire Teaching"Why do men close out this thought: 'Example is the greatest teacher'? Why do men diminish the value of example? Why do men forfeit 'leadership' to others through and with poor behavior, untidy habits, uncontrolled speech, immodesty, immoralities, impurities, a lack of manners, a lack of integrity, a lack of self-discipline? Why do some men use stubbornness instead of logic? Why do some men thrive on ego even when they know they are wrong, and that their ego has no substantial foundation to reality? Why do men think practical and omit logical? Why do men refuse to say, 'I don't…
View Entire Teaching"I don't care. I don't feel it is important. I'm too tired to bother. It costs too much. These phrases, decisions, clichés, draw conclusions, never solutions. Wouldn't it be a terrible thing to hear God say, 'I don't care.' This is an unthinkable statement when we connect it to God. Caring takes time, effort, self-discipline, self-control, involvement, charity, love, concern, understanding, sincerity and justice. Caring takes less time than not caring, because while all the talk, unkindness, disagreement, fussing, hurt and brutality is taking place, the situation could be solved, celebrated instead of ignored or dismissed, or the progress could…
View Entire Teaching"For Lent, let us take as our Guide, the Ten Commandments. Let us use These as our means of examination of conscience daily. The greatest step to true reparation, penance, charity, love and obedience, begins with our love for purity, and there is no greater way to purity than to climb the ladder, day by day, rejecting, relinquishing, casting aside, dismissing, omitting, our wrong thoughts, our wrong actions, and our wrong deeds. Obedience to the Ten Commandments can become a way of life, rather than just at times when we feel 'conscience bound' to correct our weaknesses, our errors, our…
View Entire Teaching"Men talk and they write books about Faith, and men talk about prayer. Men talk about Heaven and men talk about Hell, but those who are talking have never been there. That is why, My children, Revelations through a child upon the earth, from Those Who stand in the Heavens, is of the utmost Importance for the guidance of Souls. It is true We do not console very much. It is true We do not tolerate sin, impurities. It is true that when We use an instrument of The Father, We use this instrument at His Request and His Command.…
View Entire Revelation"My beloved sons, I am Saint Alphonsus Liguori. I have spoken of Light, I have spoken of Hope, and I have spoken thousands of Words through this child who is in total submission to The Father's Will. Men cannot comprehend such a way of life. Men do not see the beauty, the sacrifice, the privilege, the honor, the integrity, to such a way of life. Men do not see how it can be done. It is totally The Father's Way, The Father's Will and The Father's Request that is obeyed. This child, this woman, through whom I speak, is totally…
View Entire Revelation"God has the most beautiful way of pointing to all the facets of human life, and when He shows it in a Vision, it is what you and I would call 'overlay'. God takes a picture of a human being, nondescript of course, in features, and then He overlays the Soul, which is the Most Important Part of you and I. And then God adds that beautiful ingredient, the will. And then He covers the whole thing with our Guardian Angel. But don't forget, these three things, plus our flesh, get us into an awful lot of trouble in many…
View Entire Revelation"America has more than its share of evangelists. Evangelism, in the category it is now, shouts personal opinion, emotionalism, interpretation, translation, righteousness, ego, pride, self-love, and promotes power beyond human ability. Evangelism is, in many ways, a sham. Many men have taken up evangelism to support their own needs, to create an atmosphere of glory around themselves. In most cases they are playing a hypocritical game. They rest their hands on the Bible and use this as their leaning post, guide and excuse. Their audiences are duped into believing that the evangelist has supernatural power. God does not hand out…
View Entire Teaching"Theory is not solution. Opinion is not fact or truth. Interest is not always based on sincerity or loyalty. Involvement can come from selfish motives, greed, personal need, or ego. BUT Faith in God can be our means to Sainthood. Theory, opinion, interest and involvement are merely human traits, but our Faith in God establishes and motivates obedience, love, prayer and hope."
View Entire Teaching"Our Faith can be compared to a diamond in the rough, an uncut diamond. The value is there, but not the real evidence of it. It takes our living our Faith for it to show. The action of our Faith cuts the diamond and causes facets to appear. As each facet shows itself, our Faith gets more valuable, brighter, and shows to others its increase in worth. Our Faith must be cut, polished, shined and insured. The basis of our Faith is our love for God. The beauty of our Faith is in our actions, our example, and our whole…
View Entire Teaching"The broadness of Vatican II shows Protestant influence and much evidence of liberal thinking, opinions and cleverness. It is obviously the written word to justify actions that allow a generous field to express individualistic freedom with the facade of righteousness, and stressing liberalism controlled by Hierarchy decisions. Copies of Vatican II have been distributed and many people have read the words of Vatican II. Time has shown that men in the Church theorized, analyzed and acted with Vatican II in mind, but the results we are stuck with are the results of men who took the inch Vatican II implied,…
View Entire Teaching"What does your conscience say to you? Do you recognize your conscience as your point of memory for your actions, your words and your Faith? Do you believe that your will governs your conscience or that your conscience governs your will? Do you examine your conscience every day? Do you see the correcting that has to be done when you examine your conscience? Do you make only resolutions where you know change is necessary? Do you ever commit yourself to solution where you feel change is necessary? Do you just make excuses where you know you are wrong? Have you…
View Entire Teaching"Loyalty has a very important place in our whole existence, but sometimes we place the role of loyalty only to human involvement, human dependency, human relationship. Loyalty is rarely openly associated with God, but it is time that we look at this in respect to our Faith in Him. We do not see our dependence upon God, but we believe in His Loyalty to us. We depend upon His Loyalty through what we know about Him, in the Teachings He gave to us, and in the promise that through our efforts, our Faith, that He will never be disloyal to…
View Entire Teaching"Responsibility is a continuous, constant part of life. It has its joys, fears, concerns and immediacy of action, throughout our day. Responsibility does not end with disagreement regarding responsible actions. Responsibility is an important part of our lives. It is truly a Gift from God to each of us. Responsibility has with it the need for stability, the need to take part, the need to be involved, the need for charity, the need for hope. Responsibility is not an ugly word or an undesirable part of our life, but in many ways 'responsibility is a life saver'. To shirk responsibility…
View Entire Teaching"About three thousand years ago, God gave to a man, Moses, the Ten Commandments for all men to live by. These Commandments were full of many, many definitions, descriptions, and each Commandment was elaborated upon to its fullest degree to cover every facet of man's life. As this passed from Moses to other men, the fullness became less and less. God's intention for These Commandments, through the fullness He handed to Moses, was all that man would need to live by to become a Saint. There was nothing left out in guidance, and there were no paths of life omitted.…
View Entire Teaching"The woman through whom I speak is a woman in your time. She mentioned My Name on this night, and I have been given the privilege to speak to you about some things you must recognize. I am a Saint, as you must be one day, Here in the Divine. I am Saint Athanasius and I have spoken through this woman many times. The Light of Heaven shines through the Words, glows through the being, is extended through the Love for all mankind. Be aware that you live in a time of darkness, and yet that darkness you do not…
View Entire Revelation"Men paint pictures. They step back, they look at the color, the reflection, the intention, the visual side. They never look behind the picture. So many men paint a picture of This Great Miracle, and in their effort to portray what they see, to visibly show what they feel, they omit the scene behind the paint that they have strived to fit upon the canvas of life. Now I, Saint Athanasius, say: 'I take you behind the frame, behind the canvas, and I show you what This Miracle is all about. In reality, there is more color here. In reality,…
View Entire Revelation"Just what does your Faith consist of? Is it belief in God? Is it belief in a hopefulness? Is it belief in the power of man? Is it in knowledge? Is it in your own capabilities? For the most part, when we speak of Faith, we connect it to our Faith in God, our belief in Him, our dependence upon Him. This is the Faith we will talk about now, our Faith in God. First off, our Faith in God is our Faith primarily in His Existence, and then our dependence upon His Justice. It is innate in man to…
View Entire Teaching"What does it mean to be a Spiritual child to a True Mystic? This, of course, has much more meaning to it than is conceivable to man. In the true sense of the words, a 'Spiritual child' says this child, this individual must cooperate with the Spiritual Direction of the True Mystic, and cooperate in working for purification for the Soul. A Spiritual child is not just the receiver or the recipient, but is involved in the actual commitment, as an individual, to strive for Sainthood. To be a Spiritual child says the acceptance of Guidance for the good of…
