Week 1 Day 1<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I have received profound healing in my relationship with God through the <a data-mce-href="http://www.allheartsafire.org/" href="http://www.allheartsafire.org/" style="color: #00aadc;">Hearts A Fire retreat's written by Fr. Michael Gaitley</a>. 33 Days to Merciful Love is proving to be a beautiful and wonderful book that I believe is a gift to the Church for these times. We are now in a time where so many of us have been wounded by people and sometimes even by the Church herself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<img alt="hurt church" class=" size-medium wp-image-924 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/hurt-church.jpg?w=300" height="211" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/hurt-church.jpg?w=300" style="display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="300" />When the Church is who hurts us, we may be tempted to believe that God is not Good or that we are not good or deserving of anything good. I have met many people deeply and profoundly wounded by the Church. This has created a huge division in our world. I believe this book/retreat is a tool that can begin to heal division and bring all Christian souls together with one uniting purpose; to receive the merciful love of Jesus Christ and then to bring it to hurting souls in our broken world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church (397) it says that "Man, tempted by the devil, let his trust in his creator die in his heart..." lets talk about what this means. First of all we are all created in the image and likeness of God. Male or female we are icons of the truth, life and love of God walking around on earth and we are supposed to be making visible the invisible reality of God through the living our of our lives in union with God. However, when the devil comes and whispers his lies, we can in a sense, divorce ourselves from God and accept the proposal of the evil one.<img alt="devil liar" class=" size-medium wp-image-927 alignright" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/devil-liar.jpg?w=300" height="300" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/devil-liar.jpg?w=300" style="float: right; height: auto; margin: 16px 0px 16px 16px; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Why do we do that? Because the father of lies wants us to believe that God is not trustworthy and does not want to honor our desires. He begins by planting seeds of doubt. We doubt that God loves us, doubt that He desires to bless us, doubt that he will honor our desires. This doubt leads us to fear. In our fear, we may respond by grasping or taking instead of remaining in a place of trust. Doubt means to be uncertain, to fear, to be afraid. Why do we plan and strive for what we think will bless us rather than wait for God's timing or say on the matter? Because we are afraid and we hide ourselves. We turn away from God. <img alt="Fear-is-a-Liar" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-930" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/fear-is-a-liar.jpg" height="478" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/fear-is-a-liar.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="600" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Now that we understand that the evil one uses doubt to tempt us to believe his lies, we need to identify what our desires are and where we may have doubts so that we can invite the Holy Spirit it shine his flashlight of truth there and help us to come back into union with God.<img alt="light" class=" size-full wp-image-932 alignleft" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/light.jpg" height="275" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/light.jpg" style="float: left; height: auto; margin: 16px 16px 16px 0px; max-width: 100%;" width="236" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Dr. Phil says "you can't change what you won't acknowledge." This is so true! We must first see where we are being lied to before we can divorce ourselves from the liar and come into union with God and his truth and will for our lives. If we pretend that we don't need God or that what we are doing is God's will when it isn't we will remain miserable, lost and afraid.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
By inviting the Holy Spirit in, we expose where the enemy of our soul (Satan) has put fear into our hearts. Adam and Eve were afraid and so they hid themselves. God desires for us to take off the fig leafs we hide behind. He wants us to not be afraid because He promises us that He will always show up. He wants to honor our desires and he wants to heap a double portion of blessings upon each of us. The question is, do we believe Him and what, if any, lies are obstacles to His truth coming alive in our hearts? One way to discover the answer to these questions is to journal. <img alt="journal" class=" size-medium wp-image-935 aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/journal.jpg?w=300" height="201" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/journal.jpg?w=300" style="display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="300" />When we journal we contemplate, we meditate, we hold truth in our hearts and ponder it thus allowing it to be birthed within us. It is in this secret place where the Holy Spirit begins to speak to us. It is as if the Holy Spirit is a flashlight that illuminates things that we cannot see in the darkness. When we journal, our thoughts and emotions as well as our will is engaged and in this sacred place and time the Holy Spirit shines His healing light on the broken places in our hearts, minds and souls. He speaks to us gently there telling us what it is he wants us to know about his love for us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
After reading through "What is Trust" (Week 1 Day 1) I have put together some thoughts and questions to ponder and journal through.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Do we believe God is trustworthy? Are you afraid that God cannot be trusted to honor your heart's desires? Why or Why not?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Where have you felt God has not shown up in your life or where do you feel you are still waiting for him to bless you?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Think of one memory in which God did show up or bless you?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
What is it that you desire God to do in your life?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Now quietly pray to the Holy Spirit to come and shine a light on this desire and ask Him to show you what He wants you to know about this desire of your heart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Prayer: <em>Come, Holy Spirit, fire of mercy, Help me better to know the great and unsurpassable goodness of God. Amen (From Fr. Michael Gaitley)</em></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">Fr. Michael Gaitley has done is again. He has anticipated the movements of the Holy Spirit and given us means by which to suck the marrow out of this year of Mercy. The year of mercy was declared by Pope Francis as "The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy" starting on December 8, 2015 till November 20, 2016 and is given to all as an occasion of focusing on the forgiveness and mercy of God.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">Years ago, not realizing that there was such a thing as asking to consecrate oneself as a victim of holocaust to the merciful love of Jesus, I did exactly that.

She prayed a simple prayer. That Jesus might allow her to receive all the necessary suffering so that her husband might be saved and be with her in heaven. Her husband did not know this. They were deeply in love yet remained unchanged. She would never stop believing and he would never begin to believe in God.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">She became ill with cancer. Her husband watched as she suffered terribly yet never once stopped praising God. In his anger he asked her how she could praise a God that would allow her to suffer when she was supposed to be his faithful servant. The man's wife smiled and said she offered herself and all suffering necessary for his salvation and that God has not only promised to convert her husband but that her husband would become a dominican priest. He laughed of course, thinking this to be ridiculous but in fact, this is a famous story and the man did become a priest.

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">She offered her suffering. She entered into the redemption of her husband, the saving of his soul by offering her suffering. This is co-redemptive suffering. She did not marry the wrong the man, she married the exact right man and her life was to be a prayer. Her true love of her husband, the love of his soul allowed her to see that she could offer her pain as gift, a sacrifice to Jesus. She said suffering for souls is a powerful form of action. The most fruitful apostolate she said, was our lives. When we suffer and love others in our lives, we are embracing our apostolate.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">I decided that night, after listening to this story that I would offer myself and all the suffering I had endured including the sexual abuse that began when I was only three years old and all of the abuse that occurred after as well as any future suffering as a offering of love so that Christ might pour out grace to my husband and children so that they might be saved. At that moment, in my mind's eye I imagined the devil screaming from hell realizing that his ability to torture me with my past had thus been taken from him. I was, at that exact moment, no longer a victim. </span><img alt="satan" class=" size-full wp-image-799 alignright" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/satan.jpg" height="139" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/satan.jpg" style="float: right; height: auto; margin: 16px 0px 16px 16px; max-width: 100%;" width="185" /></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">I went to the mass the next day and wrote on a simple piece of paper "I offer you, almighty God, my sufferings and ask you to send me sufficient sufferings to purchase the souls of my husband and children. On the day that I die, that price will have been paid" and I put that piece of paper into the offering plate so that I might offer this gift with the highest form of prayer possible, the mass.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">If you have seen the movie Princess Bride then you know the famous quote "Life is pain highness, anyone telling you differently is selling something." It is this reality that I hold onto every single day. It is a lie to believe that the goal in life is to make money, be famous, to receive praise or even to accomplish something.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnVY2zpVTNg&w=560&h=315]</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">Embracing our greatness means we embrace the unique unrepeatable gift of life and person that we are we endure the tremendous sufferings of life with love and in doing this we enter into the redemption of the world with Jesus Christ. We allow our lives, our very bodies to become living tabernacles. We become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. We can enter into co-redemptive suffering. It was God that deemed the salvation of man would come through the unselfish act of a woman and then through her son. We are all called into the redemption of the world, to birth souls into heaven but labor is painful.<img alt="IMG_5524.JPG" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-797" data-mce-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_5524.jpg?w=680" data-wpmedia-src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_5524.jpg" height="473" src="https://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_5524.jpg?w=680" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="788" /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">"Merciful Father, relying on the prayers and example of Abraham and Mary, my father and mother in faith, and of St. Therese, my sister in the way of humble confidence. I, ______, choose, this day, with the help of your grace, to strive with all my heart to follow the Little Way. And so,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">I firmly intend to fight discouragement, do little things with great love, and be merciful to my neighbor in deed, word, and prayer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">I aim to keep before my eyes my poverty, weakness, brokenness, and sin, trusting that my littleness and contrite heart will attract your Merciful Love.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">I choose to remain always little, not relying on my own merits but solely on yours, dear Lord, and those of the Blessed Mother.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">Finally, I believe, my God, that you can and will make me into a saint, even if I won't see it, even if I have to struggle all my life against vice and sin, even if I have to wait until the very end. This blind hope in your mercy, O Lord, is my only treasure.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f6b26b; font-size: large;">And now, to confirm my resolve and to console you for so much rejection of your mercy, I OFFER MYSELF, THROUGH THE HANDS OF MARY IMMACULATE, AS A VICTIM OF HOLOCAUST TO YOUR MERCIFUL LOVE, asking you to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within you to overflow into my soul, and that I may thus become a martyr of your Love, O my God, and a gift of mercy to so many others. I ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen</span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The Walking Dead is set to start it’s
5</span></span><sup style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> season on Sunday. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Interestingly we are all interested in these
Zombie movies lately.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It’s either a
zombie apocalypse or it’s an outbreak of illness that creates zombies.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">It is as if Hollywood can see what so many of
us are refusing to acknowledge. We are the walking dead.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Well to be fair some of us are the walking
dead and some of us are the walking wounded. Drug addiction, alcoholism, porn addiction, food addiction, kids killing each other in school, people beheading other people for "God". What the heck is going on? It seems like we are living in a world filled with zombies. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 22.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">What is interesting to me about all of these successful movies and sitcoms is how they parallel our own culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is as
if these movies are a commentary on our culture of death. We may not live in
the biblical times of leprosy but we certainly live in a time of spiritual
leprosy. We live in a fallen world and with fallen people. The new normal is
not man and wife with three kids a dog, a house and a white picket fence. In
fact, I am not even sure what the new normal is, but it is definitely not the “traditional”
family. The movies we watch that are depicting human beings as zombies, are
closer to the truth than most tv sitcoms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our wounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all wounded in some
way. Some of us are living with the effects of sexual abuse or physical abuse;
some of us were abandoned by our parents. Still others were emotionally abused
or psychologically traumatized by alcoholic or drug addicted parents or even
others were ritualistically abused. Whatever the your childhood, chances are
you either experienced abuse or neglect yourself or someone very close to you
did. The effects of abuse wounds us and it is in through these wounds that we
begin to form our understandings and beliefs about who we are, who God is and
whether or not we believe in anyone or anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">The wounds that are inflicted upon
us are openings to evil or negativity. Call it what you will, it is through
wounds that we are opened up and it is as these moments we can become bound up
as prisoner to our pain, our fears and the vows that we make to ourselves. We </span><span style="font-size: 17px;">also need friends that we can trust to love us despite our wounds. We need friends to help encourage us and help us find joy and courage to persevere so that we can go into those dark places and and bring healing to them. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;">The reason why we are struggling in
this world is not because we are somehow strange or because we are not faithful
or pious enough, it is because we live in a world that has been divided because
of sin. Being faithful and growing in holiness can help us in our struggles but
unless we address our wounds we may find ourselves carrying a larger struggle
than God desires for us to carry by ourselves.</span></div>

mighty savior that will wipe away every tear and comfort every infirmity and
remove every sin for those who believe and trust in him. Instead of
despair we shall have the oil of gladness, instead of shame we shall have double
honor, not just in heaven but here in our lives, progressively as grace
perfects our nature. The zombies are the sin and the evil in the world and he wants to </span><span style="font-size: 17px;">eradicate it so that you can be resurrected and made new!</span></span></div>

We are no </span><span style="font-size: 17px;">surprise</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> to God, he knew what he was getting when he made us!

someone help him carry his cross.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then,
find a healing mass and receive the sacrament of the sick so that your wounds
can be healed. The sacraments are means of grace that fills us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grace perfects our nature and healing
ministry is the means from which to retain this grace so that we can be

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><a data-mce-href="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/balloon.jpg" href="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/balloon.jpg"><img alt="balloon" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-721" data-mce-src="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/balloon.jpg" src="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/balloon.jpg" height="315" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="474" /></a>At first I thought going to a memorial service to say good-bye to Kolbe (the baby I just lost in miscarriage) was that last thing I would do. The thought of making myself emotionally vulnerable and go back into the wound that I just wanted to walk away from was the least appealing idea to me. Yet, when the priest at my Church texted to tell me that the cemetery that Kolbe was to be buried at had a memorial service being offered the very next week after losing my baby, it seemed to be an invitation from God. Either that or it was very coincidental that within a week of miscarrying there was a service being offered. Then he told me that the day it was offered was the very day we had a meeting scheduled anyways so he knew I would be free.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I have begun to see these kind of coincidences as ways in which God is gently nudging me in a particular direction. They are painful nudges, but they are invitations that I have begun to understand as doors God the Father desires for me, His daughter to walk through because He want to take me deeper, closer and farther in my spiritual walk towards Him.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I can refuse these invitations, but I some how know if I do I will be staying right where I am. A couple of years ago I began recognizing these invitations for the first time. I did not realize that I was always being invited and had even accepted many of them. Instead I had thought I was just "experiencing" deeper intimacy here and there, randomly. Then it happened. I was in Florida at a Healing Retreat dealing with the shit storm of what is my life and I heard the Holy Spirit prompt me to accept His invitation. That is when I recognized that I am always being given invitations. What do they look like? Usually they look very painful. That particular night the invitation was clear. "When I invite you, say yes. If you do, I will heal you. If you don't, you will stay where you are." The Holy Spirit was telling me that even when it was scary and felt like dying that if I trusted Him and said yes to whatever it was He was inviting me to, that on the other side of it I would find healing. It is as if you are blind-folded and walking through traffic and someone is reaching their hand out on the other side telling you to walk toward them. As scary as that felt, I still heard Him saying "Trust Me."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Even now I am having a hard time articulating the intense fear and reservation that still accompanies his invitations. That invitation in Florida, the one that opened my eyes to see that I am always being invited, changed my life. <a data-mce-href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2012/09/17/my-undoing/" href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2012/09/17/my-undoing/">I call it my undoing because I was undone, but then I was made new. </a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I heard the invitation to walk into the loss of this baby when it would be so much easier to just continue marching forward and get on with my life. It is so easy to do with all of the things on my calendar. I could easily slip away from it all and just try to forget. Yet, here I was standing in a cemetery listening to poems being read out loud by other women who just lost their babies. The most beautiful part of the ceremony was the moment the woman there handed me a purple balloon in honor of Kolbe. As it was placed in my hands the tears slipped out of my eyes and down my face. To hold something in my hands that was for Kolbe broke open the stones I had tried to put around the wound in my heart to keep from feeling the loss. One of my most favorite songs ever started playing as we were invited to say goodbye in our own private way.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I watched a mother and three children each take a balloon and tie a note to the string. They released their balloons together and I watched as she kneeled on the ground holding her children and watching with them as the balloons rose in the air carrying their little notes with them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Looking back at my own balloon I closed my eyes for a brief moment and I swear I saw Kolbe holding hands with his siblings in heaven, laughing and running chasing after the balloons like children do. Then I did what I must always do when I am going to accept an invitation sent to me from God my Father. I let go.</span></div>

It speaks of reconciliation and of union. I love the pose of the man as it is reminiscent of the cross, with his hands extended in such a way. The body speaks a language and this man's body is saying to me that while he realizes the suffering, the cross that comes when he opens himself to God there is a peace and resting that takes place by allowing God to embrace him. The fulfillment of all desire can only happen if we unite our desires to that of God's for us. Knowing this is one thing, knowing it as an experience is and entirely different thing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Earlier this week I had a song playing through my mind. It's a Leonard Cohen tune called "Waiting For a Miracle." Listening to Leonard if feels as if time slows down just a little bit and my mind quiets down. It calms me, it transports me out of the chaos of a given moment into an interior life that feels like prayer. St. Frances said when we sing we pray twice so perhaps music is it's own form of prayer. "Waiting For a Miracle" says it all.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I was waiting for a miracle to come. The way Leonard sings it, with such gentle melancholy expresses the tenderness of desire to have what I want, yet at the same time expresses the sadness of knowing that it would take a miracle. There is no begging or pleading, just a hope and desire for it. This has been my hearts song for the past week.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Became a prayer of sorts as I struggled with attacks from people that took it upon themselves to try and destroy my speaking career. I know that God has the only power to do anything. This song is my new prayer as I have transitioned into the hardest part of this miscarriage. I am still waiting, but not for a miracle to come, but for a miracle of life that was created inside of me to make it's way out. It is the hardest for me because I wonder what I will see or worse, that I will miss him or her and flush her away. That is why it's hardest. I just want this part to be done so I can transition to healing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">When I reached for my phone this morning I saw the tweet of Pope Francis. As if to affirm that the song that was sung to me as I awoke was indeed inspired by the Holy Spirit, his "tweet" spoke of God's will being my own.</span></div>
<div class="syntaxhighlighter code-display html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I can thank God for transitioning my heart this morning by a gift of His grace. I truly know that I want what He wants. I know there has been nothing wasted, a soul will exist for all eternity and his/her name is Kolbe and will be praying me into heaven.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I realized early on in this process that I could offer this suffering to God. I solidified this during the mass yesterday when I offered my body as a living sacrifice. I offered my body as an altar upon which to offer this miscarriage as a spiritual sacrifice to God and asked for Mary to give the graces to her priests who offer themselves daily without ever being able to hold the results in their arms. I asked for the gift of spiritual motherhood to the priests in my life, that I would love them as Mary does. That I would see them as my sons that need a mother to pray for them, to love them and offer prayers and sufferings for their protection. I usually never help distribute communion, but I was inspired to do so.</span></div>
<div class="syntaxhighlighter code-display html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div class="syntaxhighlighter code-display html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I felt inspired to offer communion and felt the love of my heart being poured out to every person who approached Jesus. I found myself looking deeply into each persons eyes as they came forward and felt a deep merciful love of Mary in me flow out to them. I did not look at them as they approached, I would see them. I would see their goodness and longing and desire to be filled and offer them the living God that is the only thing that can fill that void.</span></div>
<div class="syntaxhighlighter code-display html" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<strong><span style="color: #f6b26b;">SUNDAY, MAY 3:40PM</span></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Before reading this post please listen to <a data-mce-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYJwYjanCRQ" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYJwYjanCRQ" target="_blank" title=""I Grieve" by Peter Gabriel">The Song "I Grieve" By Peter Gabriel.</a> You can listen to it while you read my blog as it will open in a separate tab. This song as it embodies the emotions that I am experiencing. It captures the moment of my life that I am living, right now. The lyrics are so perfect... There is something beautiful and something so raw about embracing life even when it means that we embrace the intensity of suffering, sadness and grief.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I am working through my emotions as I experience this miscarriage by journaling here on my blog. I have a hard time with allowing myself to cry, to feel. It is easier to numb myself. I have become quite good at. When I wrote the last two posts the flood gates opened in a way that I realized I needed. I only realized it after I opened to feeling the pain. It almost seems like I am not supposed to be grieving. Some of the questions I get like "how far along are you" is just code for "your not far enough along to be so upset."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I was almost ready to numb myself through this but then I realized that I really am hurting and if I don't face into that hurt it is going to come out sideways. It always does. Rather than stay in denial, or turn to anger as a means to control my pain, I am choosing to embrace the pain that comes from feeling everything, talking about it and processing it in the moment. It hurts. I still find I cannot stay in the moment with my feelings and allow myself the grief that is just below the surface because life does go on, and on and on and on. My children need me, my house has chores and there is work to be done. I keep having to push down the sadness and disappointment and grief.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I will keep updating this one post as I document the process of losing Kolbe. If you are just happening upon this blog post then you can read the first two posts by clicking the links. The first one, <a data-mce-href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2014/05/18/im-having-a-miscarriage/" href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2014/05/18/im-having-a-miscarriage/" target="_blank" title="I'm Having a Miscarriage">"I'm Having a Miscarriage"</a> and <a data-mce-href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2014/05/18/deep-sorrow/" href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2014/05/18/deep-sorrow/" target="_blank" title=""Deep Sorrow"">"Deep Sorrow" </a> will get you up to speed and I will put headers of the day and or times of the new entries...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Where am I at right now? Well, this image helps to make that clear. Right now I am angry at my body and I feel very alone.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/baby-miscarriage.jpg" href="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/baby-miscarriage.jpg"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><img alt="baby miscarriage" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-709" data-mce-src="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/baby-miscarriage.jpg" src="http://preparing4battle.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/baby-miscarriage.jpg" height="182" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="474" /></span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I am angry with my body for failing to protect this precious little person. I feel alone because not everyone sees a miscarriage as the loss of a child. Instead it seems to be viewed as the way the body discards babies that were possibly genetically inferior and "for the best." I don't know why I am miscarrying but I do know that the reality is that I am losing a baby.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">So where am I at in the process today? I am still waiting. I have a terrible back-ache, I am cramping but as of right now I am still waiting for my body to complete this process it seems to have committed itself to. There is light spotting of pinkish brown mucus. It reminds me of when I would go into labor. The first stage was losing the mucus plug. It was so exciting to see that process begin because it meant the long wait to have a baby was finally going to be over. It signaled that very soon, a baby would be placed into my arms. It signaled that a process was starting. It was a sign indicating that a process had begun in which the result would be my child leaving my body.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">It means the same thing today but there is no joy in it for me. There is only grief. So I will walk into that. I will grieve.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Science has revealed the future to me and I have mixed emotions about knowing that sooner rather than later this pregnancy will be ending.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Last week I went to have blood drawn to check the HCG levels in my blood. This test detects a level of a specific hormone that a newly conceived child produces after it implants in the uterus.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">This hormone is the same hormone that darkens the second line on a urine test indicating pregnancy. If that hormone decreases rather than increases, it indicates that miscarriage is inevitable.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I found out 4 days ago that my levels decreased, a lot. The exact words from my doctor were;</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">"Dear Christina</span><br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I am sorry to half to tell you but this is not a viable pregnancy. Your quants have dropped and we need to have you stop all progesterone. You should be able to miscarry on your own by simply stopping the progesterone. It can take A few weeks but with the low quants I do not suspect it will take long if you have not already noted bleeding.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Things to be concerned about are very brisk bleeding, increased abd pain, fever, fould smelling discharge for which you need an acute evaluation</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">We do need to follow the quants down to normal</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I would recheck next week Monday</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I will keep you in prayer during this time</span><br />
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Love and prayers</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I have a great Doctor, but it's still hard to deal with, knowing I'm going to lose this baby.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I'm still waiting. The only sign of miscarriage this far is that just now, about 5 minutes ago I saw a tiny bit of pink and brown tinged colored mucus. Is this it? Is it beginning? Please Jesus, help me to bear this weight. It's so painful. I'm grieving the impending loss of Kolbe, the name I've given this child. If it was a boy, I wanted to name him "Maximillian Kolbe" if a girl, Claira Kolbe. So it seems fitting, to call my son or daughter by his or her name, Kolbe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: #f9cb9c;">I wonder if you are already with Jesus or if you are still hanging on, waiting with me as the numbers drop low enough till finally you can no longer hold on. I love you Kolbe, your omit and Opi, your brother and two other siblings cannot wait to meet you. Until then, know how very much I will miss you.</span><br />

Should we be teaching our children to argue? If we expect our children to be able to defend their beliefs, then we need to teach them how to state a premise, to give an explanation that defends that premise and then think through the reason as to why or why not their premise is right or wrong. Wait, isn't that arguing? According to the dictionary online it is. <br />
<br />
My guest today on Embracing Your Greatness, my radio show on <a href="http://radiomaria.us/" target="_blank">RADIO MARIA</a> was <a href="http://mattfradd.com/" target="_blank">Matt Fradd with Catholic Answers</a>. We discussed his DVD <a href="http://mattfradd.com/2013/07/23/how-to-win-an-argument-without-losing-a-soul/" target="_blank">"How To Win An Argument Without Losing Your Soul"</a>. It became clear within minutes that I picked a guest in which more conversion must be had.<br />

We are called to evangelize but to do that it means we must understand what an argument is and what an argument isn't. I must admit, when I think of the word "Argument" I think of a heated debate with veins popping out of a person's forehead and pointing fingers and scowling faces, stiff body postures and definitely yelling. But that is not what an argument is. In fact, it is the opposite of an argument.<br />

According to my online dictionary an argument is a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong. A great example of this would be of a lawyer being asked by a judge to give his or her "closing arguments" to the jury. Typically that would not include veins popping out of their heads, yelling and scowling and and the like. Rather, the closing argument would be a summary statement of one's belief, a few statements to back that believe up and then restating the belief. <br />
<br />
For example; "My client cannot be guilty of this crime. Two eye witnesses place my client out of the country during the time the crime was committed. The DNA evidence was contaminated because the police did not secure the crime scene and three forensic specialists agree that the results were inconclusive. This proves that my client is not guilty of the crime he/she is being accused of."<br />

<br />
<br />
So if an argument is laying a case for or against something then we need to be arguing more and teaching our kids to do the same. <br />
<br />
It has become strangely apparent to me that people are having a very difficult time laying out an argument and then entering into a conversation to defend their position. I think this is because we have forgotten how important it is for us to exercise our brains by using philosophy to broaden our understanding of things. One reason might because of pride and a misunderstanding of justice. <br />
<br />
When we are always right or "argue" a point from a position that we know everything and there is nothing to learn, we miss an opportunity to understand a world that may not use the same terms and definitions we do. That is why the <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Argue-Using-the-Socratic-Method" target="_blank">Socratic Method</a> is a great tool in learning how to argue with people of different faiths or beliefs. I love the example used on Wikihow. <br />

Question: To a Blind Person is this table still blue? If no: Proceed to Next Step<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Is the table blue to a blind person?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
If Yes: What makes it blue to a blind person and not green or pink?<br />
If someone can't see, what makes the table blue? Is it their perception? Is it the rods and cones in our eyes that see the color? Is it the light that reflects the color? Is it the pigments or chemical composition that create a color?<br />
<br />
This is the most fascinating aspect of using the Socrates Method to argue. In asking these questions we teach our children the why's and a deeper understanding than just a right answer. How can we effectively dialogue with someone who may have many different reasons for believing what they believe? We must know what OTHER people believe before we can share OUR beliefs. To begin evangelizing before we know what the person in front of us believes and why would be like going to Mexico and speaking Chinese. That would be stupid. Something stupid is something that does not make any sense. Speaking a language that someone cannot understand would make communication impossible. Desiring to communicate but choosing a method that is impossible does not make sense, therefore it is stupid. See what I did there? I just stated a premise and then laid the foundation of belief for that premise. That is the Socratic Method, well, it is the dumbed down version. I work best with the dumbed down versions. <br />
<br />
The next step for those who decide that table is blue only to those who can see it is to change the initial statement to take the exception into account.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlq_tRojfQ2shBly7iSLVs1OFhjFVS0K1SfVrr47FUDjuctPrNkMule9g8cCz6t6T0XgH_HUlfjAvlql5YB9oJ0ofrj3LzcAAh-3v9ebyAo94_TRlH1T13BFlFfPvEKtovV-0lJQiblw/s1600/looking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlq_tRojfQ2shBly7iSLVs1OFhjFVS0K1SfVrr47FUDjuctPrNkMule9g8cCz6t6T0XgH_HUlfjAvlql5YB9oJ0ofrj3LzcAAh-3v9ebyAo94_TRlH1T13BFlFfPvEKtovV-0lJQiblw/s1600/looking.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Does a person need to see it for it to be blue? </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Now we challenge the new statement with another question. "If the table is in the middle of an empty room, where no one can see it, is it still blue?".<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
This reminds me of the question "If a tree falls in a forest but there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"<br />
<br />
This exercise is very important because it begins a discussion/argument on what is sound. Two different arguments can in theory be very right. Remember, the point is not to be right, it is to be humble enough to listen to the other persons point of view so as to better understand their logic, their reasoning, their beliefs and thus be more capable of communicating ideas effectively.<br />
<br />
This is where I have failed miserably as a parent. I plan on rectifying this today. I have understood my children need to be better at defending their beliefs but I have been hard pressed as to how I can help them as 6 year olds, 10 years olds, 15 years olds and 20 somethings on the importance of being able to know why they believe something and then know how to effectively (the key word being effectively) communicate their beliefs to others. This is evangelization folks. Communicating their belief in Jesus Christ and their fullness of faith as Catholic Christians.<br />
<br />
So where do we begin? According to Matt Fradd ask you child to tell you what a sandwich is. One example he gave was asking his child "What is a bed?" His son replied "It is a hard thing." So he responded with "So it is a rock." His son replied, "no, it is a big thing." So Matt stated "It is big, like a truck?" His small son got giddy and replied "No! " then looking down at his sheets with writing on it stated.."it has writing on it." Matt laughingly stated "Ah, so it is like a book." Some may think this is a silly waste of time with a 6 year old. I say it is exercising the mind of a future evangelist. What makes something something. Teaching ourselves to ask questions so as to allow someone to better communicate, thus not alienating them with us preaching our beliefs but also it teaches our kids to think about why they believe something and how to communicate it in a way someone can understand it. <br />
<br />
Brilliant. Who would have thought the most effective way to teach our kids to be evangelizers would mean to ask them questions and then teach them to argue with us about their answers.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you that I have learned so much from people as I have traveled across the globe speaking. I remember meeting a woman on an airplane that was a practicing witch and believed that mother earth was the goddess that effected events in her life. For the first hour she felt that I was arguing with her to be argumentative. I was not. I truly desired to know why she believed what she believed and what were her experiences and "truths" that brought her to her conclusions. My first obstacle to overcome was the language barrier. It became very clear to me that when I said "God" we were talking about two different things. It took at least another 30 minutes of the socratic method for me to understand how to talk about God with her. Terminology is very important. The other obstacle was to get her to see that I was not trying to be right or change her mind, rather I wanted to get her to begin thinking about why she believed what she believed.<br />
<br />
Too often we think we are supposed to throw people over the walls that separate them from God. What would happen if we throw people over a wall? They would most probably become injured. God does not force himself on anyone and neither should we. The Holy Spirit is what opens peoples eyes to the truth. Instead of desiring to throw people over the wall, lets bring them a ladder. Then their progress over the wall can go as fast or slow as they need to go. It will also be there when we leave. Evangelization begins with humbling ourselves to know that God has a plan for each of our lives. He is not dependent upon any ONE person to bring someone to Christ. <br />
<br />
If we want to evangelize, we should begin with asking questions. We should then define our terms. We should be prepared to state a premise and then to argue it. When we argue we should be listening to the person we are arguing with so we can better understand their objections with the hope of planting a seed of desire for truth in their hearts. When people seek the truth, they more often than naught find God. <br />
<br />
So when Matt Fradd was asking his child to describe what a bed was, he was actually teaching his son to one day become a great Crusader for Christ. Way to go Matt. <br />

<span style="color: #eeeeee;">The fact that hell exists is proof of God's love. Without a choice to go to hell there is no free will, there are no choices, there is no love. If there was not a hell, then God could not honor our choice to reject Him. Hell makes choosing God possible, without there is no choice. If there were not a choice to go to hell we would be animals, without choice, relying on our instincts to dictate our lives. </span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">But does God pre-destine a soul to go to hell? The short answer is no. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church Predestined means that we are selected for divine adoption by an eternal decree of God (Eph 1:4). “Predestination is a mystery revealed but not fully understood; what we know for certain is that God is free to act as he chooses (Ps 135:6) and man is free to accept or reject his blessings (Rom 2:6-8; Sir 15:11-13). No one is predestined by God for eternal damnation” (CCC 1037).</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is a person’s free will that destines a person for hell. God’s gift of free will allows each person to choose heaven or hell. There are two choices really. “I am a handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to they word” as Mary said or “Not my will but thine be done” as Jesus said. The alternative is “I will not serve” which was the response of Lucifer. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So how is one to understand how a person is “predetermined” to go to hell? When we understand the immaculate conception we understand predetermined. Why is this? Because the Immaculate Conception reveals the very timelessness of God. God is outside of time and space. God is present, past and future all at the same time. God applied the graces merited by Jesus Christ on the cross and applied it to Mary at the moment of her conception. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">How could He do that? Because God knew Mary would say yes. This did not mean she did not get to chose it, it just means that because He is God He exists outside of space and time. He is past present and future. God knows no boundaries. He knew she would say yes it happened already outside of time and he preemptively applied the grace. This is of course my laymen terms for such a complex theology that only a theologian (which I am not) could explain it concisely. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">You could say that Mary was predetermined to say yes and be the mother of God. Bl Anne Catherine Emerich talks about this in her 4 volumes that Mel Gibson used to write the screen play for “The Passion”. She said in her writings that God desired to bring about the salvation of the world sooner but it was not until St. Anne and St. Joachim that two loved like the trinity into which Mary was brought and in which she would say yes to being the mother of God that God could then move forward with His divine plan. That shows you how much God honors our free will. He won’t even save us unless we allow Him to, that is how much He respects our free will.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is hard to understand how the graces merited on the cross by Jesus Christ were given to His mother before she was even born. Another way to wrap ones head around this mystery is to contemplate the Eucharist. At mass we experience Calvary. It is because the Holy Sacrifice of the mass is able to pass outside of space and time, literally making present the body of Jesus Christ, that this is possible. We are not re-creating Christ’s death and crucifixion, nor are we re-sacrificing Him, rather we step through a mystical veil of time and space and Calvary is made present. We are at the foot of the Cross. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This is why we pray for the dead or why we ask for the Communion of Saints to pray for us. Our prayers can bestow graces to them before their deaths. We can pray for those who died and our prayers can merit graces that outside of time can be given to them before they died to help perfect their nature. It is this mystery of timelessness that many of us cannot understand because we are temporal beings. We are bound by space and time but God is not. The spiritual is not. Angels pass through this veil easily because they are not bound time space as we are. Perhaps this is why some Saints could bi-locate. They could pass through the veil because it is a reality created by God to govern the physical realm. However, we are spiritual and physical beings. Therefore, we too are able to pass through the veil in ways known only to God and in our Glorified bodies we will move as fast as our thoughts and will pass through walls much like Christ did when manifested into the upper room. He passed through the veil, the dimension that separates us. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">At the moment of conception God creates a holy immortal soul and infuses it into the body of that child. At that moment God knows all of the choices that person will make before they make them, never diminishing their free will.</span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is the choices they will make that will determine their final destination. All souls are destined for heaven. This is the the truth of the trinity because every person is created in the image and likeness of God who is Love. God is love poured out and overflowing and in that excess of love He creates Holy immortal souls. This means we are all created to love and be loved. If we do not chose enter into that love we reject God (who is Love) and chose the alternative.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is our choice to sin that determines whether or not we spend eternity in hell. When a soul is pre-determined to go to hell it means that God knows that they would reject Him regardless of His invitations or intersessions. He knows it because He sees their decisions, sees into their personhood, knows their hearts and understands all of their choices and gives them the freedom to choose.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; letter-spacing: 0px;">Free will is a very powerful thing. Even the devil has no real power other than what our free will gives him. When we submit our will to evil and enflesh it, that is when the devil is able to oppress us. Free will is something we should all contemplate more. It transcends space and time and can condemn a person before they are born (because a birthday is a time and God is outside time). On a positive note, it can also save the entire human race. Jesus and Mary are proof of that. </span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-themecolor: accent6;">Today is the
Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Many people think she is only a
image and others believe her to be a special devotion for the Mexican people.
The truth is that she is a living icon, a spiritual doorway wide open
with supernatural grace flowing out to anyone in her presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">The image on the Tilma of Juan Diego appeared in an instant, just as the image on the shroud of turin appeared in an instant. <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.blogspot.com/2013/04/icons-will-save-world.html"><span style="color: #f79646;">Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Icon</span></a> of the New Eve just as <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.blogspot.com/2011/07/shroud-and-tilma-icon-of-new-adam-and.html"><span style="color: #f79646;">The Shroud of Turin is the Icon of the New Adam</span></a>. Both of these images are theology in color, telling us a story of truth, life and love. These images are supernatural in that no one painted them and there are details such as the colors of the Tilma being neither animal, plant or mineral yet existing 200 years before synthetic dyes were invented. So what is it? It is supernatural.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.25in;">
<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">In the age of advanced technology we have discovered details within and about the Tilma that were always present but that we could not have known until now. We need to shout form the roof tops that in an image where everything means something, these new discoveries mean something! Heaven has written a message to us and it has been waiting to be revealed until now, the age in which we would have the technology to discover it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">The fact
that the constellations as they appeared in the morning sky of 1531 from
Tepeyac Hill appear exactly on the tilma in perfect alignment. We needed
N.A.S.A. software and it's advanced Kepler's math to know this! The movie
"The Star of Bethlehem" proves that the stars have told stories of
biblical proportions since the birth of Jesus. What story are the stars
telling us? Why did God chose those particular constellations to be there
that morning so they could be captured on the tilma for us to discover hundreds
of years later?</span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-themecolor: accent6;">The fact
that the constellations as they appeared in the morning sky of 1531 from
Tepeyac Hill appear exactly on the tilma in perfect alignment. We needed
N.A.S.A. software and it's advanced Kepler's math to know this! The movie
"The Star of Bethlehem" proves that the stars have told stories of
biblical proportions since the birth of Jesus. </span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-themecolor: accent6;">What story are the stars
telling us? Why did God chose those particular constellations to be there
that morning so they could be captured on the tilma for us to discover hundreds
of years later?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-themecolor: accent6;">If you have
not entered into the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe now is the time to do so.
She is calling up a mighty army and desires to heal, protect, form and
lead us to Christ. We are on the cusp of another Guadalupian miracle in
which those living in the America's will be privileged to witness mass
healing's and conversions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f79646; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-themecolor: accent6;">If you have
been feeling called by her, chances are your one of the chosen ones that she
desires to particularly form because you will be on the front lines. If
you have not been consecrated to Mary yet, please consider doing so now. The
battle we are in will require supernatural grace and protection form the evil
one and consecration is the spiritual armor you need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

consecration and <a href="http://www.consecration.com/default.aspx?id=34"><span style="color: #f79646; mso-themecolor: accent6;">St. Maximilian Kolbe</span></a>
does as well. I have done both and prefer <a href="http://www.marian.org/marians/story.php?NID=4742"><span style="color: #f79646; mso-themecolor: accent6;">Fr. Michael Gaitley's "33 Day to Morning
Glory" book and workbook.</span></a> I prefer it because he helps us
understand why Mary is important. Many of us have felt like it would be
wrong to go to Mary instead of just going right to Jesus, but that is not the
case. Mary always leads and points us to her son. She desires none
of the glory. She is just our model and our hope because she proves that
we can do it! She proves that the power of the cross and the graces that flow
from it are sufficient! Mary was immaculately conceived just as Eve was
immaculately conceived from the side of Adam. What I mean is that Mary
was as sinless as Eve was before the fall. Mary could have sinned, she
just didn't. She shows us what we are capable of with grace from Jesus
Christ. His book helps you to walk through this in such a beautiful way.
The workbook really helps us to open our hearts, which for many of us,
have been hardened by sin and wounds and pain from our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We live in a sensual world that hunger and thirsts and aches
for miracles and for supernatural phenomenon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is as if there is a void inside of us all. But if we live in a
physical world then how can we long for the supernatural?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two things do not seem to be
complimentary but rather they seem contradictory don’t they?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is what I mean by that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Senses are of the physical world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are tangible, measurable and understood by all who have eyes to
see, ears to hear, and tongues to taste, noses to smell and bodies to
touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the contrary, miracles and
supernatural phenomenon are not tangible but are unexplainable and most
probably understood as being more spiritual than material or physical in
nature. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what is the answer? Do we just continue to stuff our face
with food and drink? Do we keep reaching out for sex and creature comforts? How
are we to stop feeling so empty and unfulfilled? The answer is in the
question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We long for fulfillment of
physical and spiritual because we have been created as physical and spiritual
persons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The senses may seem to be just
physical aspects to our humanity but if we are body and soul then their effects
must be felt within both. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
St. Anthony called the sense the doorways to our souls and
in fact wondered how much images affected our hearts and souls to either order
them rightly or disorder them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact
scripture tells us in Luke 11:34 “The lamp of your body is your eye. When your
eye is sound, your whole body too is filled with light; but when it is diseased,
your body too will be darkness.”<o:p></o:p></div>

In todays world we see that people are searching, longing
and hungry for more than just food to satiate their taste buds or movies or
music to delight their eyes and ears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are all searching for something beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The double rainbow guy on YouTube demonstrated an unadulterated response
to seeing something profoundly beautiful and but even more than that they was
given a glimpse into the spiritual reality that it “meant” something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Paul Evdokimov, a Russian theologian that believed all
people should have an icon in their homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He wrote<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that “if mankind aspires
to beauty, it is because we are already bathed in its light; it is because
mankind by nature thirsts for beauty and yearns to see the Face of God.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I agree with him that we thirst for beauty
and yearn to see the face of God. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is my opinion that the double rainbow guy yearns to see
the face of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact I have often
shared with youth that very same video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before I have them watch the video I ask them to imagine his reaction to
seeing this beautiful rainbow was the reaction of Adam when we awoke in the Garden
of Eden and saw Eve for the very first time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After they stop giggling, a quiet
hush comes over the group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the
girls are in awe of feeling that someone could look upon their feminine
goodness with such joy, such appreciation, wonder and excitement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They boys are looking around with new eyes
and thinking to themself; “Is the gift of woman something more spectacular than
I have previously thought?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we
become desensitized to the beauty around us, we must find ways in which to
re-encounter it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Icons are one example
of how to do this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The double rainbow guy responded in a way that I could
imagine a human being responding in the first encounter of being in the
presence of a living icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eve was
“written” in the image and likeness of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her body revealed something about God to Adam and in their meeting he
understood his own body in an entirely new way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

We are made in the image and likeness of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The difference is that we have not yet been
transfigured.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have met some people
that radiate Christ, like an icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is of course the goal and what ultimately attracts people to Christ, we we act
as a living monstrance and radiate Christ to all those around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But what is an Icon?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Simply put an Icon is sacred art that is also theological in that it
literally (not figuratively) teaches the doctrine of the Catholic Faith in
regard to the person or persons it is “written” about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Author Michel Quenot writes “ An icon is certainly not the
image of a discarnate world-in the sense that it would refuse creation. Rather,
it is the image of a world transformed, transfigured, rendered transparent by a
spiritualization which embraces the entire cosmos.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So our choice is to understand personhood as the
corporealization of the soul or the spiritualization of the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Icons chose to reveal the latter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Icons’s write this truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I say written because Icons are said to
written and not painted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, years
ago an iconographer had to get an imprimatur of his work to make sure it was
free from doctrinal error lest someone would be led astray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is how precise an icon is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Iconography actually means to “write an Icon”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Icon’s are more than just pictures or
paintings; they are theology in color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The person creating or commissioned to the do the icon was usually a
monk or priest trained in the canons and rules of iconography. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many aspects that distinguish an icon from other
kinds of sacred or even secular art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are also certain specifications and criteria that set icons
apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because an icon is a language
and it speaks truth about the sacred mystery that its image contains there is
no room in the image for the artist to insert his or her interpretations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is one of the most important things for
us to remember.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The clothing style, colors, postures, gestures, geometry of
the image, in fact every aspect of the icon is held to a strict and unyielding
set of rules to ensure that in the end the icon will reveal the invisible
existence of the world beyond our material senses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An icon makes visible the invisible and it
is for this reason I believe it is the pictorial language of Theology of The
Body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Leonid Ouspensky, a Russian iconographer wrote that “the
task of the icon is to guide every emotion as well as our reason and all the
other faculties of our nature towards Transfiguration”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact that is a major component of icons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They reveal the transfiguration to us in a
way we can receive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is gentle,
non-judgmental and inspires us to greatness beyond our comprehension.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the beauty of it, you do not have to
understand it to receive from it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We may not be aware of why the image both seems to draw us
in and repels us but in fact it is making visible the invisible reality of the
journey that we are all on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are being
called to what all Saints have done before us, Embrace Our Greatness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are to embrace the Holy Spirit, to allow
Him to permeate, penetrate and transform our hearts and in doing so we will
emanate Christ to all those around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If images can open our hearts and bypass
intellect and reason then perhaps we should surround ourselves with images that
enable our hearts to be made flesh rather than to harden them like stone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you don’t have an icon in our home, pray
to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to bring you one. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
St. Paul writes in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Romans that “all creation is eagerly waiting for the revelation of the
sons of God” (Rom 8:15).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All creation
means that the entire material world, the cosmos even time itself inherited our
human destiny, which was tainted by original sin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it must be true that as Christians we
have an obligation to help liberate all of creation from sin and evil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Michel Quenot states in his book “The Icon” that “It is our
task to spiritualize the matter we use every day to help further restore all
creation to God. “(Eph 1:9-10)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is not talking about making them idols.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our contemplation, love and worship is
reserved for God and God alone but icons permit us to contemplate beauty and
incarnation which of course draws our attention to the creator God Himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Icons speak of the incarnation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They make visible the invisible reality of
the supernatural; they reveal God came in the flesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact most iconographers first icon that
they write is that of Jesus Christ as He reaffirms to them that God was made
flesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the entire premise of an
icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Muslim world understood this so well that it became
their reason the Muslims destroyed icons during the iconoclast period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They viewed Icons as images of God, which was
against their religion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be
stated that Icons really are an image of God as the Shroud of Turin ( the cloth

the time of resurrection) was the template used to create the first Icons of
Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus say’s “whoever sees
me sees the father”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a great
mystery in the incarnation and how Christ made visible the invisible and icons
reveal this same mystery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Not all images make visible the invisible however a true
icon can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can an icon make visible
something that is invisible? It is because an icon is Eschatological.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is from the word “Eschaton” and speaks
of where we as human beings are headed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We will one day be resurrected and reunited to our glorified bodies and
so in a real way an icon is revealing a person that has been so permeated and
penetrated by the Holy Spirit that the light of truth and God shines from
within them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We see the entire person,
body ad soul radiating from an icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is why there is no external light source like we see in traditional
art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The focal point of the piece also
draws our attention to a bigger theological truth rather than to an
object.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Icons reveal persons not objects or bodies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In today’s world we are moving more and more

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are no longer seeing the person in front of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is beautiful about icons is that they
are revealing how God has given us “personhood”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personhood is that dignity of being unique
and unrepeatable persons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no
one like another and our person will exist for all eternity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our personhood is also male or female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our bodies make visible that invisible
reality and are inexplicably tied to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Death was never God’s plan for human beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was sin that disordered our human nature
and so an icon reveals the transfigured person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is our destiny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
called to become new creations in Christ. <o:p></o:p></div>

God was made flesh and in this flesh given a face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We belong to him and his gift of self has
given us freedom from being faceless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our identity then, is from Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In a world where most peoples identities are so flawed and in need of
restoration, icons draw us to the reality that no one is faceless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we continue to move towards a world that
seeks to remove the face and the person that is revealed there, we will lose
our identities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We see this happening
already in secular art and even photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why is it that artists used to paint portraits so regularly while now we
see animals or objects instead?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
has even translated to photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many
people no longer get professional portraits done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may be that today’s art is reflecting a
world in crisis. If this is true, then perhaps icons are a language of truth,
life and love that our wounded world is in desperate need of discovering. <o:p></o:p></div>

Icons speak to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
speak truth, life and love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reveal
to us the entire person yet we see them without corruption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is as if we are seeing the human being yet
we are seeing their transfigured bodies filled with the Holy Spirit, thus the
light that shines from their faces and bodies as well as by seeing their
enlarged eyes or foreheads (filled with wisdom permeated by love) etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There can be exaggerated size to the senses
for the exact reason with the exception of the ears, as the ears no longer need

When a person views an icon and sees the person faced

</span>Icons then, bestow a grace of receptivity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like a plow opens a field, they open the
earth to receive the seed, which is the word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Icons seem to be a means from which the Holy Spirit can flow through to
all in its presence; all that is required is for someone to look upon it<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
There is another aspect of an icon that speaks of an
eschatological aspect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the fact
that many times the laws of geometry, proportions or even gravity may not apply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is usually because icons seek to
manifest the heart or the essence of the objects, animals, mountains, buildings
or even people that it is capturing to better express their meaning and the
meaning of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact the icon is not
just seeking to express the theological truth or meaning of a person it is to
incarnate the spiritual presence of that person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Monk Gregory, a famous Iconographer said “Only a picture
that has a face looking at us and human face transfigured by divine grace has
the right to be a holy icon.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was
why he said the eagle used in the Gospel of John couldn’t be used as an icon or
image of St. John but only a symbol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Icons are not symbols.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are
doorways that we can move toward them and that the person in the icon can move
toward us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a spiritual movement
but movement nonetheless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

What we look at does affect us and can open or close our
hearts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iconography is a unique form of
art that not only opens our hearts; it transforms them with truth, life and
love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we understand the basics of
what an icon is we will explore the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to discover
the truth, life and love that is “written” there for the Church of the 21<sup>st</sup>
Century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a message of hope,
battle, of healing and of Mercy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s

We are headed towards a battle. Can you feel it?<br />
<br />
I don't care what denomination you are, if you love Jesus Christ you will take a few moments to see that this is not blasphemy, this is not idolatry, this is God's plan of redemption of the world and that Mary has something to offer us. We do not worship her, we worship God alone. We do not believe Mary has magical powers. What we do believe is that God chose Mary to begin the plan of redemption in, with and through and so she offers us a way in which to follow so that we can be deeply permeated by the Holy Spirit, espoused and penetrated in a life giving way because Scripture says so. Scripture tells us that Mary was cable of being so receptive, so open to the Holy Spirit, that she was espoused and thus conceived of the Holy Spirit.<br />
<br />
We are called to beg for this receptivity. We are called to open ourselves so completely that the Holy Spirit can find a dwelling place in which He can espouse Himself and conceive divine life within us. We are called to bring life into the world, to make the incarnation known and visible by becoming the body of Christ. Are you radiating Christ? <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.org/2012/12/21/become-a-star-of-bethlehem/" target="_blank">Are you a Star of Bethlehem? </a><br />
<br />
What I love about the<a href="http://allheartsafire.squarespace.com/"> 33 Day To Morning Glory program</a> is that it harnesses the power of receptivity to the Holy Spirit in such a way that all of us can yoke ourselves to it. Consecration to Mary has been said to be the fastest and most effective means to become like Christ. <br />
St. Louis De Montfort said this;<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic;">"In this battle, those who follow God will conquer with one hand and build with the other. The saints of the end times will be formed by Mary in their devotion to her. She will shape them and teach them even as she formed the body of Our Lord in her womb."</span><br />
<br />
The mother of God formed Him in her womb and so she is the perfect mold from which to pour ourselves into. We could allow the hammer's to shape us, the knives to whittle us out to make room for Him, but to pour ourselves into the mold that shaped Christ is perhaps the quickest most effective means to do such a thing as this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We are like a a field ready to be planted for a rich harvest. St. Joseph is like the farmer that leads the horses, he makes ready, he makes the way clear. St. Joseph, terror of demons binds up any obstacles, operational spirits or barriers that may prevent receptivity. Mary is like the plow. She is the grace of receptivity and fertility that opens our hearts like the plow does the earth. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Her son is the seed that will be planted deep inside of us so that it may burst forth new life within us and bear fruit. Seeds can grow without first having the soil prepared but the harvest is not as abundant, the protection from the rains and the elements is not as great since the roots are more shallow and without the farmer to watch for the rocks or weeds (St. Joseph) there can be obstacles that threaten as well.<br />
<br />
If Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and conceived by the Holy Spirit then we see that Mary has a gift of perfect receptivity to the Holy Spirit that we should all long for. She was permeated, espoused and penetrated into the depths of her very soul which was Immaculately Conceived. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Mary herself was an icon of the trinity as St. Joachim gave himself as free, total, faithful and fruitful gift to St. Anne and she received his gift and then gave herself to St. Joachim in the same way. The fire of the rightly ordered love between them was so great it was a third person, Mary. The two became one flesh, they co-operated in bringing her into existence (matter) but God alone infused her spiritual soul. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
But Immaculate Conception? How is that possible and why? For me her Immaculate Conception is further proof that God is indeed outside of time and space. He is pure spirit so He is unaffected by time and space which exists in a physical world. It is logical that God could take the graces of Calvary and apply it to Mary as her soul was infused into her at the moment she was conceived in St. Anne's womb. He created a perfect vessel, Christ makes all things new and she became the under of knots. <br />

Eve was Immaculate, free from sin in the same way that Mary was. That is why we call Mary the New Eve. If Christ as the new Adam makes all things new then of course he would untie the knots tied by Eve's sin and make this new also. Christ makes ALL things new. God has a plan for the Redemption of the whole world and He began with Mary before He began with Jesus. Why? Because it began with Eve before it began with Adam.<br />

Eve was Immaculate as was Adam. They began in a virginal garden of Eden. They were not alone because love is a gift and must be given away. The tree of Knowledge was in the garden because love must have a choice, without choice love cannot exist as it must be a free, total, faithful and fruitful gift. Eve's no began when she took (of her own free will) the fruit of the tree of knowledge in that virginal garden of Eden, into her body and with it bore spiritual death to the world.<br />
<br />
Mary was Immaculate as Eve was because Christ makes all things new. Mary was free to chose as Eve was, to undo Original sin, all of the knots must have been untied and so they were. It began in the virginal garden inside of her womb. She too was given a choice to love. Mary's yes began when she "let it be done unto her" and the fruit of all knowledge, the Alpha and Omega was given to her and in this garden of her womb, Jesus was the fruit of her womb and with her yes and with the hands and feet from which she would form in her body would come spiritual life to the world. <br />

<br />
Mary is the undoer of knots, she is our hope because she was mere creature. She was no different than Eve. She was completely capable of sinning and yet she did not, she is our proof that we can give our yes to God and be transformed, permeated and espoused by the Holy Spirit. <br />
<br />
If you want to be more fully espoused and penetrated by the Holy Spirit then first call upon <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.blogspot.com/search?q=joseph+terror" target="_blank">St. Joseph as terror of demons </a>and ask him to remove the barriers and obstacles in yourself or a loved one that seems in capable of even opening themselves. He will make way for Mary. Then pray for Mary as undoer of knots to come and bestow a grace of receptivity into your heart or the heart of your loved one (heck you can and should do this for your enemies as well!) Finally, pray "Come Holy Spirit, Come!" so that the sower of the seed can come and plant Jesus deep, deep into the hearts of the world. <br />

If you desire a double or triple portion of the Holy Spirit, then Consecrate yourself to Mary, she opens you wider than we can do on our own because she undoes the knots, she was what God chose to start with when He set into motion the plan of redemption for the world. He could have dropped Christ naked in the street, He could have chosen to come in flesh in any way He desired, yet the plan He chose was to undo the knots of the fall way back in the beginning. When Christ makes All Things New, He makes ALL THINGS NEW. <br />

Mary, I ask that you intercede and show me how to open my heart to love like the Trinity and to help me to open myself in a bigger and more vulnerable way so that the Holy Spirit will find a home in my heart from which to bring life to the world in and through my yes to the Fathers plan. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">The CDC says that 1 in 4 people are sexually abused. We are the walking wounded and many people are taking pills to numb the pain. Traditional therapy offers a clinical diagnosis as well as a psychological stigma for those seeking help to cope with the ramifications of growing up neglected, abandoned, traumatized and or abused. I have always known that traditional therapy was not the answer. </span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">As a person who went to school for and earned a degree in Psychology, I have read many books regarding this subject. Some of the graduate courses I took in Family and Individual Counseling required us to have patients and we recorded the sessions to be critiqued as a class with our professor. Even then I was frustrated with the process of diagnosing instead of bringing healing. </span></div>

What traditional therapy does is diagnose and help cope with symptoms. What inner healing does is make the person whole, it heals them, just like we heal disease of the body, it is my belief that inner healing can restore our person, our well being.</span></span></span></span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;"> It is easy when we are dealing with a physical illness to desire a diagnosis. We see a doctor and get a test so that we can diagnose and treat our illness. But what happens when you have an identity wound? You cannot get a blood test and have someone tell you to take this pill three times a day until gone and then you are well.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />

Was He lying? Are we expecting to much? Are we giving the cross and God too much power? I say it is the exact opposite. We do not expect enough. We do not believe Christ really has the power to work miracles. In fact, He worked miracles of healing and told the apostles that they would do all of the things He did and more! We are called to bring healing and deliverance to those in misery and suffering to be a sign of His power. Christ desires to restore us and in our healing, be a witness and visible sign to the world that our God is an awesome God and that He Reigns in Heaven and on earth. He can make us whole. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">When we are healed we become more joyful. We are called to evangelize and bring people to Christ but when many of us are wounded from sin and the sins of others we are not exactly a billboard for Christ. I was no exception. I would try to “fake it” as best as I could. After all the expression “fake it until you make it” was how I lived my life. But I was tired of the counterfeit. I wanted a double portion.

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">The retreat that I attended was called “Healing
The Whole Person” and was held at a Catholic parish in Florida. The day
of the conference I walked from the hotel to the Church taking my time getting there,
as I was somewhat afraid of what would transpire once I got there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">When I arrived at the Church and made my way in to
what appeared to be an old cafeteria with a stage area, I took notice of a
large statue of saint on the main stage. I remember wondering who he was
and then found a seat towards the back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">The first opportunity to meet with one of the
trained therapists came and came I went up to the stage area to sit in a
private area with him. As he led me through the process of uncovering the
areas I was bound up in I was led to a re-occurring image in my mind of me in a
crib crying and no one coming to me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">I did not think it was a real memory; rather it
seemed to be a connection to a belief. It seemed to be a
representative of not feeling neither heard nor having my real needs met.
Perhaps one of the most profound revelations occurred that day when I realized
that someone could be both good and bad at the same time. I also was I
introduced to finding my identity in the Father rather than trying to prove it
or earn it. Having these two belief’s healed help to free me and heal me
from what I now believe some refer to as "Borderline Personality Disorder". <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">When I sat with my second trained counselor and a
nun from the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary something shifted. I
actually felt something weird happen in my chest. The nun looked at me
and asked me what I was experiencing as she was praying for me. I told
her I did not know how to explain it. I told her it felt like my heart
swelled up inside of my chest and stretched the rib cage or something. </span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">I
saw in my mind a picture of what I had felt. I told her that the cartoon
“The Grinch Stole Christmas” has a scene where his heart grew in his chest and
he grabbed it and yelled out as it grew several sizes. I told her that is
what it felt like, I literally felt like my heart was growing in my body.
I would have been worried that I was having heart palpitations or some kind of
medical emergency but with this sensation I felt an infusion of joy and peace
and what felt like a deep sigh of relief. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">She smiled at me and pointed to the large statue
on the stage. Do you know who that is? She asked me. No, I replied.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">That is St. Philip Neri, he was a saint that
experienced such a transformation when the Holy Spirit permeated him that his
heart grew inside of his chest and swelled so large that it cracked one of his
ribs. </span></span><br />

indeed crack. I was blown away that this same Saint, the one I have never
heard of that just so happened to be the Saint over this particular parish, was
present in the very place in which I not only found a great healing but
experienced some kind of physical manifestation that strangely paralleled his
own experience. I believe I not only received a healing of my identity
but that at the moment the Holy Spirit came and brought healing and restoration
to my identity I had a sensation that accompanied it as if to validate that it
not only happened but it was very real.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"> I was not faking it, I was feeling it! I was
infused with Joy and I felt like I had value, not because I impressed anyone or
earned it, I was just “good” and I rested there and absorbed as much of it as I
could.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">I really want to take a moment to go over what Borderline Personality Disorder is because I believe many people who have been sexually abused or experienced traumatic childhoods like I did are actually dealing with identity wounds that distort their ability to know themselves and to know God and are not dealing with a psychological "disorder". </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Being abused has a very real and powerful effect on shaping our identity. To merely dismiss that and label someone as being "disordered" is, in my opinion, causing more damage and in a sense, keeps their pain and cries for help unheard.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">I realize we can categorize and diagnose and give it a name such as Borderline Personality Disorder but what good is it to give it a name if you do not understand it enough to help bring healing?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Corbel;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">Identity wounds distort our ability to love ourselves, to love others and to love or know God. Instead of dealing with the real issue, identity wounds, people are being diagnosed with a disorder. Ironically, the worse thing you could do to someone with identity wounds is to give them an identity as being "disordered". </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">When you look at the Borderline Personality
Disorder (BPD) it becomes clear that Inner Healing work helps to heal all of
the lies that cause a person to exhibit the very criteria necessary for
diagnosis. That has got me to thinking, what if BPD is really just an
identity wound that has been left to cause such illness that it causes a schism
in the person and their ability to see truth, to live their lives or to love
and be loved?</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">We are complex human beings and Theology of the
Body helps us to get a bigger picture as to who we are and how we are made
rather than basing our truth in the disorders that result from sin. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> Our experiences in and through our bodies
shape our understandings and beliefs and those beliefs can bind us up in such a
way that we act on those beliefs in disordered ways. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">When a person experiences a trauma, for example
sexual abuse, this trauma creates a deep wound penetrating our identity and
distorting our “person”.</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">The criteria of Borderline Personality Disorder
seems to reveal more about the fracturing or creating of a schism or division
within our person than it does about our disordering our personality. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> Using the teachings of Theology of the Body,
it seems clear that Psychology may help us to understand the wounds within our
identity as a “person” and how those wounds shape our beliefs. Our
beliefs effect our actions and behaviors so perhaps using the 9 Criteria's for
diagnosing BPD could actually help us recognize an identity wound.
Perhaps the 9 disordered behaviors are really just distress symptoms that
when rightly understood, can lead us to the areas we need to find healing.</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Lets think about the word “disorders” through the
lens of Theology of the Body. For something to be disordered it has to
have been rightly ordered but then gotten twisted up. This is what
happened with original sin. What was good and right became disordered due
to sin. If this is correct then we see we are all disordered in one way
or another. How helpful is it to give a diagnosis of a disorder to
someone who has an issue with identity? I am guessing it creates further
disorder and woundedness. Let's call this disorder what it truly is which
is a distortion. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">A person with BPD is really someone without a
sense of identity. They are unable to base their value and their worth
on truth but instead their identity is reliant upon others. The only one
that can give us our identities is God because He is truth, life and love from
an unchanging source. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> What if you have wounds preventing you from
going to God for this identity? Many people with sexual abuse wounds and other
traumatic wounds form childhood have such a problem and I was no
exception. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> The diagnostic criteria for BPD can in my
opinion, be used as a model in identifying distress symptoms of those dealing
with a schism or fracture of personhood from PTSD or sexual abuse trauma.
It is the trauma that creates the schism and distorts the person and their
ability to see rightly and experience others with true freedom to love and be
loved. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I believe I suffered from a schism from the
traumas of my childhood some of which included sexual abuse. This schism
distorted my perception of my identity as well as my ability to love and be
loved by others. If love is a self to an “other” than it makes sense that
a distortion to my identity affects my ability to see myself as a gift from
God, thus making me incapable of loving rightly. If I am unable to see an
“other” as being a gift from God, then I am incapable of receiving or
connecting or interacting in healthy relationships. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I know now this has been the case in my
life. I have believe that in my own life, some of the criteria of
BPD I meet may actually be indicative of an identity wound rather than a
psychological disorder.</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I recently got the book “I hate you-don’t leave
me; Understanding the borderline personality” by Dr. Jerold Kreisman</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">In Dr. Kreisman’s book he uses the DSM-III-R (diagnostic
criteria of borderline personality disorder, herein referred to as BPD) to define
the criteria of BPD and being present 80% of the time. I will be using
this “criteria” as distress symptoms of a person with Identity Wounds. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Unstable and intense interpersonal relationships,
with marked shifts in attitudes towards others (from idealizing them to
devaluing or clingy dependence or isolation and avoidance), and prominent
patterns of manipulation of others. It can also be referred to as "splitting". To protect myself I put people in one of two categories. They were either good or bad. I could not trust the bad people, I could trust the good people. If someone I believed was "good" hurt me, I did not see a good person making a mistake or doing something bad, instead they became "bad" in my mind. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My Identity Wounds has led to many unstable
relationships. It is because of my being able to reconcile the fact that people could be good and do bad things and remain good as well as my fear of intimacy. Because of my Identity wounds I have made unrealistic demands on others and many times have been referred to as being spoiled. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have always had to ask others what they think and get input from those I saw as "better" than me or more "good". My identity wounds create such a distrust of others that I have great difficulty trusting the motives of almost everyone I have ever met. This is because it provided me the only protection I felt that I had, if I could be proactive in determining who is safe and who is not then I felt more capable of not being hurt. </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I can say for certainty that my husband is in the circle. Dr. Bob is in the circle of trust. Fr. Bryce is in the circle of trust. Lynn is in the circle of trust. I can not say for certain if anyone else has ever been allowed in. I am still learning to let people in. I still find myself watching peoples facial expressions, keeping tabs on inconsistencies that may expose them as being inauthentic and this creates a greater loneliness and despair. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have created a reality in which hardly anyone is allowed in and yet the fear of being alone has caused me to become extremely dependent on my husband and my children. I want them to be with me but because of my fears and feeling of deep inadequacy and shame I did not want them to touch me or expect to much intimacy. The guilt from this exacerbates the self-loathing. </span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">The word intimacy is sometimes referred to as
In-To-Me-See. For someone with identity issues I wanted people to look
anywhere but at me. The irony of this is that I longed to be seen. I was victimized so I was very distrustful of people
growing up, even by those who seemed to care. I believed the lie that they were
only trying to get me to let down my guard or perhaps they just wanted
something. This thinking is what led to the destruction of all of my
friendships with women. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have never liked being touched. If my
identity is distorted then the shame runs so deep it is as if I am untouchable
as much as I am unlovable. If you cannot give what you don't have then,
perhaps I have been unable to touch and be touched because I had no source of
love to share with others. I am continuing to work on this and have not
found full healing here but there are many days I am more capable of affection
than others and that is a definite improvement from where I was. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;">My first healing in this came when Charlie stood up at the Theology of The Body Course on Love and Responsibility and pronounced to me and the other 100 students that he thought I was beautiful and wonderful and looked forward to me coming into class everyday just to behold the gift of femininity that I made visible. I was affirmed just because I was good. It came from someone I could believe and receive it from and in that moment a lie about who I was and the value I had was exposed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;">I was healed. Now I have been learning to grow in maturity in this area. </span></div>

in at least 2 areas that are potentially self-destructive, i.e. chemical abuse
(tried that), sexual promiscuity (check!), gambling (not so far but only
because I knew to stay away), shoplifting (yes), excessive spending (still
fighting this one), overeating (did it say only 2? Cause this makes 4),
anorexia nervosa (no self control for this one) or bulimia (so now I am at 5

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">The criteria of strong, sudden feelings and
perceptions cause impulsiveness that causes repetitive mistakes is used to as diagnostic criteria. I have always been proud to refer to myself as someone that “flies by the seat of my pants”. The need for immediate gratification and absolutely no patience has attributed to much of my impulsiveness. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> The lack of self-control continues to cause idolatries in my life. I make an idol of substance to comfort me. I become slothful when I am overwhelmed. I buy things to make me feel better. I find I still get angry over the simplest of things but I know realize that this is symptom and should be catching my attention so I can discern what triggered my identity wound. I know realize I must path attention to it and go to the Father and check in with Him first to be affirmed and know who I am with mercy. Then and only then do I look at why I am upset or mad. Usually it is a trigger that is relating back to an old belief that I am bad, selfish, manipulative or undeserving of love and happiness. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;">This awareness of myself came from learning about the cycles of addictions as related to shame taught by Dr. Bob at my very first course. Being a Psychologist I have a great awareness of how we think and feel and then observing behaviors as a direct result. I always loved Dr. Phil's comment "You can't change what you won't acknowledge" and it is for this reason I have always looked to the why behind what I do. The problem was I was looking without Christ's mercy and so what I saw was ugly everything everyone said it was. The rage came to protect myself and the excuses and blaming things on other people was the only way I was able to live in my own skin. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">As a youth, I would use self-destructive behavior to cope and release some of the pain. This would create guilt which in term caused more shame and then I would seek out substance to numb or comfort myself. It is as if we know that sin deserves to be punished and our wounds convince us we ARE our sins and so we punish ourselves. It is interesting how the devil brings us 99% truth (always without the Merciful love of Jesus Christ) and 1% lie and this is the rope we hang ourselves by. When I found healing in this was when I heard Joyce Meyers speaking on an early morning show. She said "When the devil comes to tell you what a sinner you are and remind you of all the things you have done and why you are unworthy of being saved, tell him that God knew what He was doing when He made you. You are no surprise to God. You are not Holy Ghost jr. He knew you would fail Him and yet He created you anyway. If Satan has a problem with you tell Him to take it up with God."</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">Wow! It's true! It's not like God is watching my life play out like a sitcom and when a new episode airs is hitting himself in the forehead saying "What was I thinking!" No! He knew He wanted me to exist. He knew me and knew my name and knew when and where to bring me into existence, in the words of Caryll Housleander "Out of all of the potential souls, God chose me!". The book "Reed of God" was a book I came across about 5 years ago and it brought such healing to my identity wounds that to this day I use it in all of my talks. My identity is in God the Father and by my baptism I have been adopted as His daughter. I am a daughter of the most high King. I am not a mistake. I am not my identity in my family, I am not an identity in my sin, I am Christina and my names mean to bring and witness to Christ. The fact that my married name is Christina King is not lost on me. It is a daily reminder that I am indeed royalty.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">

indicators. I have tried to control everything even my healing. I now realize that control is a false idol to cope with feeling powerless or
being afraid I will be abandoned and alone. When I am unable to control I
get anxious and angry and either have a panic attack or rage. I believe
that panic attacks can be another symptom of identity wounds. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Criteria 3) Radical mood shifts include
depression, irritability, and anxiety and last either a few hours and rarely
last days. The person with identity wounds bounces between enthusiastic periods of
energetic creativity to unproductive morbid self-pity and depression, blaming
his/her failures on others. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have always been told I was moody. I get
anxious and irritable when I feel I am being assaulted but now it is less often
and not such a huge shift. I have tried to identify what triggers me.
Tone of voice can be huge. When someone’s identity is fragile, tone
of voice can feel like a lashing rather than just a simple question. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">The
guilt and shame go so deep that often words can trigger a person who has been
assaulted by the same or similar words in childhood. The other reason my moods would change would be that I was hearing something that was not being said. I would hear people speak and assume something they said was a passive aggressive attack on me in some way and I would try to "self-justify." Self-justification is a huge indicator of identity wounds.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My need to justify myself came across as bragging or being pretentious or just down right rude and full of myself. When my family had legitimate needs they were trying to express I would self-justify and they would then believe their needs were not important and that I just did not care.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">More and more I
begin to hear what people are saying rather than what my distorted identity was
allowing me to hear. This has been huge in my healing of my whole person.
I am also gentler with myself and try not to "should" all over
myself. I realize I am not the fourth person of the holy trinity and so I
am going to fall short. I am called to faithful not successful and this
gives me hope. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My healing of this came when I begged Jesus Christ to heal me of the spirit of control. I was using the above things to control the pain or to control my happiness or to control how valuable or worthy I was. I was making an idol of things to replace God because I was I did not know God and did not know He love me just as I was. I did not have to fix myself before I could come to Him. I was finally able to do this was when I renounced Control. I asked forgiveness from God and then renounced the enemies hold over my life. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> In the name of Jesus, I took authority in Jesus' name and renounced Control. God began to uncover the lies I had allowed to be sown in my heart about what being "vulnerable" meant and as He did I became less fearful and more trusting. Once I realized vulnerability was strength, I was more capable of opening myself to those around me. Once I did this, I was able to hear them and to stop justifying myself. I could forgive myself when I fell short as long as I went to God the Father to affirm me in my identity. This was probably the biggest deliverance of my entire healing process. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Criteria 4) Inappropriate and intense outbursts of
anger can cause someone with identity wounds to have unpredictable and frightening
behaviors that are disproportionate to what triggers them. The underlying
fuel of the rage is great fear and guilt of disappointing someone and fear of
being abandoned. It is so intense and so easily invoked that often their
spouse or their children receive the brunt of their rage. The irony is
that the fear of intimacy is a cry for help. The person with identity wounds pushes
away the people they need most. They may even rage against their
therapists, testing their commitment to stay. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">When I met with repercussions I have always raged. Rage is another indicator of identity wounds. It is as if deep down that place that St. Augustine speaks of as "knowing we were made for God" screams out against the lies and self-loathing and says "I am good". The story "Horton Hears a Who" comes to mind. I imagine that place deep inside where we know we are a "person" is yelling out "I am here! I am here!" I believe the rage is a self protection of that one tiny shred of hope and truth that remains that is trying to protect itself. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My identity wounds caused me to misinterpret the motives, intentions and even actions of those around me. I would believe they were attacking what little shred of goodness I was managing to hold on to and so the rage was about forcing them out and protecting my shred of goodness. If they were right, then I was bad and I just could not live with that. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> When I was not able to control someone or my environment the anxiety would get so intense that I would either rage or attack. I would get so intense that everyone around me would back way off and look at me as if I had lost it. In fact, I had lost it. The intense emotions would rise up so fast and so strong it felt like a tidal wave rising up and engulfing me. It was sink or swim. To sink meant to look at what was happening and why I was reacting and that felt like drowning. The reason is I did not have mercy to help me see myself without prejudice or fear. To see I was wrong would mean I was bad. I could not reconcile good and bad. A person was either one or the other. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I continue to smile at the ironies that I was controlling, but out of control. I wanted to be seen but did not want anyone to see me. I was terrified at being alone but I pushed people away. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">As I said previously, I used to have so many
issues with this but I believe I no longer rage. I do get angry still
over the littlest of things at times but I am getting better and better at
asking forgiveness from my children or husband and to owning up to things I did
or said that were not loving or fair to them. It has taught me an aspect
of humility that allows me to love myself more when I do things that are not
Christ like. If grace perfects our nature, then I must be able to retain
more grace, as I am growing more and more comfortable in my own skin. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span></div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Corbel; font-size: large;">I realize now that I do not have to feel bad about raging at God. He can handle it and wants me to lay it all at his feet, even my rage. I still turn to food to comfort or and now realize this is what Gluttony is, an idolatry of substance for comfort. It is another way in which I try to not be vulnerable and take what it hurting to God. Anytime we make an idol of something it is because we are not willing or able to go to God the Father. If this happens, we must ask him to reveal the barrier to us. We must ask His help to remove the obstacles. </span></div>

behaviors or comments about dying soon or wanting to die are frequent ways to
communicate the deep pain and are real pleas for help.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Self-mutilation (I am including excessive piercing
and tattooing) is signs of identity wounds. Excessive use of drugs and alcohol and
even food are also means of self-mutilation and although I did not fall into
excessive use of substance to cope with my pain I have used substance. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I
used to pull my hair out of my head until vanity caused me to turn to cutting
myself. I remember it make me feel powerful and not so weak. I also liked
how it let me feel like I was taking the edge off of the latent anger inside of
me. Some scratch themselves, cut themselves or burn
themselves. It is a form of releasing some of the guilt or alleviates
some of the suffering they are experiencing internally. It is a way to
connect the body to the pain of the inside, the person and identity are making
visible the invisible ugliness and they are able to find a release or even
feelings of euphoria from it. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">The reason persons with identity wounds self-mutilate could be
to experience the endorphins the body releases during the mutilation
(self-treatment for pain) or perhaps it is the souls relief that now the hidden
pain is being made visible in some way, uniting the body in expressing what the
soul cannot express. Whatever the reason, this is a hallmark of identity wounds.This is Theology of the Body. Making the invisible visible! See me! See my pain! To manifest the inner pain in a physical sign on the body is to allow the "whole person" to express it consistently and to feel whole. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have never accepted my own intelligence or
attractiveness. I was taught early on that this is something subjective.
I was taught my multiplication table by being quizzed and then slapped in
the head when I missed one. I was yelled at and made to feel stupid.
To me, being smart is something you earn and it is judged by how smart or
stupid you are compared to others. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"> I was told regularly when I got to fat so my
body image was always about looking a "certain" way. Whenever I

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My identity was graded on a curve and my value had
to be proven over and over again. The little bit of self-esteem I had was
gained through impressing others and was necessary and critical to love
myself. I name-dropped; I bragged about whom I knew and what I was doing
all in an attempt to impress people so that I could love myself. My
identity was in the hands of others and so it was a very fragile thing. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I felt fake and that I had to "be"
someone people would like. I tried to be or emulate attributes that
others had that I liked. I remember talking like a girl I went to school with,
dressing like another, you named it I would try it all in an attempt to find
that perfection that would make people like me. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Some people with identity issues change their
jobs, friends and even life goals frequently some may even change their
sexual orientation. This can be from Gender Shame and this is covered in the appendix. Persons with identity wounds are more susceptible to joining cults because
they are seeking unconditional acceptance. They want to be affirmed as
good. This is the basic human need of every person but many do not get
this, especially when neglect, trauma or abuse is present in early child hood.
This also can lead some into very destructive relationships of physical
abuse. I am grateful this was not the case for me. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have driven many people away from my attempts to prove myself, to accomplish then herald it to others. I only did it to say "See, I am valuable" but this can seen and heard as "Look at me! I am better than you!". I never realized that when I would feel threatened by someone sharing something they did or accomplished, that I would immediately attempt to prove how I some how was just as good or better in that area. Now that I have become aware of that, I have gone back and asked people's forgiveness at making them feel little and I have shared vulnerably how I was attempting to cover my feelings of being inadequate. Their success triggered my wounds. This has not only been healing of many relationships but it also has been freeing for me to see how affirmed I am when I do not have to earn or prove my worth.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Criteria 7)A person with identity wounds has chronic feelings
of boredom or emptiness. They long and desire for purpose and without it
some people with identity wounds chose to end their lives rather than face the feelings of
emptiness and lack of purpose.</span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">There was only one time that I thought about
suicide. I was in high school and had just moved back to live with my
mother. I put almost a whole bottle of aspirin in my mouth and when I
closed the medicine cabinet and saw myself in the mirror, I could not do it.
I saw myself with a mouth full of aspirin and thought, "What are you
doing?" I did not end my life but there have been many days where I
stayed in bed and slept the day away unable to face my life. I still have
days where I am filled with emptiness. When I was in bed pregnant on bed
rest, I very much went to a place of feeling like I would be better off dead.
Those have been dark times for me and were before my healing experience.
When you feel you have no purpose, life becomes very difficult and can
feel empty. When you know God created you for a reason then you know
there is a purpose to everyone’s life, even our suffering has purpose when we
unite it to God and go to him for the answer to the burning questions inside of
us. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">My greatest healing in this came when I read "The Reed of God" and realized the when we embrace virginal emptiness we realize the emptiness is not without form. The reed by a babbling river is cut and wittled out with stops cut into the outside. But when the creator blows his breath into the emptiness lyrical music is played. The emptiness gives the reed its beautiful form from which to pour out it's greatest gift. A golden chalice does not come in the form of the beautiful flower it resembles but is instead made from first gathering gold from mud and rock from which it must be hewn. It is then melted down and poured into a form and then beaten by countless blows of a mallet to give it the emptiness from which it's purpose is manifested. The chalice's emptiness is the space in which wine can be poured and then offered in the sacrifice of the mass! A nest is created when a mother bird gathers the materials from which to create it and then it is her tender breast that forms the emptiness from which her babes will find their home. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Each of us are formed in some way. We are either pounded into our shape or perhaps our lives felt more like being cut and whittled. Maybe you feel like you were held to a hot fire and melted down before being poured into your shape. Still others will be formed by tender love. Whatever the method, our emptiness, our shape is the perfect emptiness from which God desires to pour Himself into so to that He may play His lyrical music through us, our to sacrifice Himself through us or to bring a drink of Him to those in thirst. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Emptiness is necessary or else there is no place for God. Without Him, emptiness is without purpose. When we consider our emptiness helps reveal our form, we can then have the courage to look at what shaped us as something most perfectly suited to reveal Him to the world. When we are small He is big, when we are weak, He is strong. The reason a person who was sexually abused can write a book about healing from sexual abuse is because I know the ache, I know the pain. Christ can shine from this broken place in me and now my brokeness is made beautiful. Put your fingers into my wounds and see the glory of Jesus Christ and allow Him to resurrect you! Come from the tomb that you are waiting in, more dead than alive and see the Glory of God. You have been created for a reason and God desires for you to enter into the redemption of the world with HIm. He wants you to bring your emptiness to Him so that He can fill it and pour Himself out to others. Will you say yes?</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">Criteria 8) The person with identity wounds has such a problem
with being alone that they seek out any means to fill the silence with whatever
noise they can. If they believe their identity is relative to how others
see them, to be alone would be without identity. The feelings of neglect and
abandonment are exacerbated with being alone. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I am not sure why I have always been afraid of
being alone. There are times even now when I am surrounded by my children
and I think to myself, "I wish I had a moment to myself!" but then
when I get it I am scared to death. I have a really hard time with
Eucharistic adoration for that very reason. The thought of going to a
room and being alone, even though it is with Jesus in the monstrance terrifies
me. It "feels" frightening. This is how I know I am not
fully healed in this area of my identity. Fear is not of God. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I think it is because without the distraction of
others I am exposed and I am terrified of what I will see there and what God
will say about me. I still forget sometimes that God does not come to
strike us dead with lightening but comes to restore us and raise us up to him.
When we are small, we can go to Jesus and be lifted up in his arms to God
the father. I recently had another healing when I saw a picture on
Facebook of a man hugging his daughter who joined a convent. It was
cloistered so he would not be able to see her again, she was saying goodbye.
I saw this young girl in her father’s arms and he was crying and she was
crying but neither of them looked sad, it was more like tears of joy and pride
and admiration and love. She looked small and he looked big and for this
first time in my life I thought to myself "if that is what it means to be
small, I can be small like that". </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Corbel;">I have even begun to look to the way in which my
husband is such a beautiful father to our children and imagine God the Father
being like that. It has begun to heal me. I may have found freedom
here but I still need maturity in this and that is what the next chapter of my
book "Desperate for Love is going to deal with. </span><span style="font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This zombie movie is absolutely wonderful because it teaches through using the analogy of zombies as our own impeding deaths due to our disconnection from one another and with our design of our bodies. We are made for connection, we are made for union and communion and this movie shouts this out using this current craze of Zombie Apocalypse as a modality of entertainment. This movie teaches theology of the body, our body speaks a language and a zombie body tells us that when we are disconnected from one another, when we use others for our own selfish needs, we are dead. When we connect we begin to live, our design reveals our creators intentions, union and communion. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This movie uses so many examples to reveal this truth. At one point we even see the main character walk past a wall display of the evolution of man showing how we have "evolved" from an animal. This of course reveals once again to the viewer that we are called to be more than animals, we were made for greatness. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The movie begins with the lead character, a Zombie feeling "unconnected". As he </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">starts out desiring connection, he begins to wonders how awesome it must have been before the apocalypse when people connected to one another. The movie then flashes back to before the apocalypse and shows a scene in the same airport in which he know finds himself walking and we the audience see the world as it is today, disconnected as we are all on our digital devices, surfing the internet, listening to music or playing some kind of virtual game. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Zombie, named R...monologues with inner dialogue about how he wonders why he cannot connect with others then realizes, "oh ya...I'm dead"<br />He has taken over an empty airplane and listens to records like Bob Dylan and Guns and Roses. He and his "best friend" another zombie he groans with at a bar in the airport, walk into town to get something to eat (yes, you guessed it..the living) he makes several jokes about how slow they are and finally he arrives to the place he meets "her".<br /><br />Upon seeing her he is smitten in fact, his heart beats as if human connection re-ignites his heart. For so long he existed in solitude and now, seeing her a spark hits him and we see his heart pump showing us that connection of man and woman gives purpose and life.<br /><br />He helps her escape (not before eating the brains of her boyfriend Perry. This is done because it allows the zombie to experience human connection as the memories of the deceased are experienced in a living dream experience for the zombie ). It should be noted that this scene really reveals how we long for and ache to fill the void inside of us meant for human connection because ultimately it is supposed to point us like an icon to God. The only thing a zombie has that can even remotely resemble connection is the eating of brains because the life experiences of the person they are eating are experienced in doing so. It fills that deep hunger and longing and while it fills and satisfies the hunger, the joy and ecstasy comes with it of feeling and experiencing the human connections of the persons life. The people they loved, the dreams they had and so much more. This is the only way a zombie can connect, it is a counterfeit, but it is all they have so they seek out more and more persons to consume, trying to fill the hunger and longing inside of them. They continue to decay and eventually become "bonies" which are zombies that are much like demons in that they are not even covered in flesh, they are at the point of no return and in fact now hate anything resembling connection. </span><br />

To escape being eaten, R helps Julie to pretend she is a zombie and he covers her in the stink of dead blood. He teaches her to pretend to be a zombie to hide her and through their time together he continues a slow metamorphosis back to life.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /><br />She comes to care for him as well and tries to take him to her father to show him (he kills zombies) that they are curing themselves. In fact they are not curing themselves but rather human connection and the relationship witnessed by other zombies between her and Z causes their own hearts to begin beating by witnessing them holding hands. Their body speaks a language and the zombies understand it is a sign of purpose and meaning. They begin to stare at pictures on the wall of couples holding hands.<br /><br />I don't want to spoil it all but I will say that in a scene where R gives himself as a free total and faithful gift, by wrapping himself around her to jump from a building to save her using himself as a shield for her...the fruit is witnessed in an almost baptismal scene and he is created anew and we see it. The next scene is even more amazing as she too then makes a sacrifice and faces her own fears for love.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Praying the rosary of the 7 sorrows helps to heal us because it untwists the lies of the evil one. When we see the lies we understand the judgments our hearts have made and even the inner vows we may have made in order to protect ourselves. </span></div>

It seems that every one that I have met who feels called to the New Evangelization has
their own story involving Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is not mere
coincidence, rather it is part of a special grace through the image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. About a year ago, I had an encounter with the image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe that changed the way I understood who and what Mary is, how God loves
the world and what He desires to reveal to the world through this image about
Himself and His relationship with every human person. I saw that the image of Divine Mercy is present in the tilma. It is present in that the torso of Jesus Christ appears there and The Shroud of Turin aligns perfectly. Why? Our Lady of Guadalupe is revealing the Love story between God and His Children. God is declaring His mother as a co-operator in bringing about the redemption of mankind. In fact, it has been pre-destined for the remnant Church to be in the America's and for Mary to be the Intercessor. Throughout history she has protected the remnant Church from death, disease and persecution. She is once again heralding to her Children that SHE desires to pour out a supernatural grace of receptivity and in doing this we will be opened to her spouse, The Holy Spirit and He will become one with us. The Holy Spirit desires to become espoused to us so that we too can allow the gifts of the Holy Spirit, given to the Church at Pentacost, to become operational. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Through consecration to Mary, we too will be given great fruits as well as supernatural protection from Mary. Through invoking Our Lady of Guadalupe, to hide us in her mantle, it will be as if we are hidden from the enemy, invisible. God desires for us to get the whereabouts of her Shrines out to the faithful because they will be safe havens during coming persecutions. They will also be places of great miracles and conversions. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"> These "signs" are to bring more people to belief in the one true risen Lord, Jesus Christ. He said that we would do miracles and even more than He so that people might believe. Now is the time. We must begin to tell people this love story. We need to buckle down in our parishes regardless of what we do or do not like going on there and we need to set up pilgrimages to <a href="http://www.shrineofourladyofgoodhelp.com/">The Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help</a>, the first approved Marian Apparition site in the entire United States of America. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"> Why go to Medjugorje? Come to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, after all it is an approved place where Mary appeared and provided protection to those who came there for safety. One day soon, we will need to flee to her again. Do you know where to go? Another place of refuge is the Shrine of <a href="http://www.guadalupeshrine.org/">Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse</a>. I believe this will also be a place of refuge and protection. Finally, there is the Shrine <a href="https://www.holyhill.com/">"Mary Help of All Christians at Holy Hill "</a>. It also will be a refuge. We need to begin having speakers in to tell the Story of Our Lady of Guadalupe so that she can begin to mystically open us with her graces of receptivity. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial;">Please note <a href="http://www.unitypublishing.com/Apparitions/Necedah.html">the Shrine of Necedah is demonic.</a> It is a disproved apparition site and extremely dangerous. It is not a place of refuge it is a place that only will bestow confusion, perversion and pain. </span><br />

Our Lady of
Guadalupe has a message from God to the people of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">this particular time in
history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are now three discoveries
found in the image in the 20<sup>th</sup> century that were not part of God's
plan for conversion of the Aztec people of Mexico so why would he have put them
there unless the generation that would discover these things were to be
evangelized by them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Truly the culture
of death we live corresponds in many ways to the culture of death of the people
of Mexico in 1531.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial;"> God has a reason
for everything, why would he have put these images in the tilma unless they
were meant to be discovered when the veil thinned enough so to as reveal
another message in an age that is in desperate need for conversion. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Am I the only person asking the question of "Could there be
a message in the Tilma for the Century of the Church that is most like the
Aztec culture? We are after all, a culture with false deities, shedding of
innocent blood and in need of divine intervention as well as a poor man's
catechism to re-evangelize our pagan world are we not?<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">So, I contend, we are making discoveries in an image that always held these new
findings but they were laying dormant until the age upon which would need it
most would not only discover it, but through a gift of an outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, there would be an outpouring of grace and receptivity to the world

second invitation. It is that of the
Constellations. They are on the tilma
represented by the gold 8 pointed stars and they are placed exactly as they
appeared at the exact latitude and longitude in the sky. With two exceptions, first the N and S axis
are horizontal and E & W are Vertical (poles are shifted) and second, it is
from God's perspective not ours since it is looking down upon the sky not up
from earth. Actually, this is also for a
reason and is part of “reading” the message we are being invited to
receive. The fact that the stars are
exactly as they were in the sky on the tilma itself, reveals that the date of
the morning of Dec 8, 1531 by way of the stars on her outer mantle is another
miracle. I want to point out that the
intersection of the universe made on the NASA computers cross right over the
tilma when aligned. </span><br />

I believe that is because it is conveying a pooling of precious blood and water. It pools into the area of the aztec fold. The place that most Nahuatl Indians carried their valuables, their children and more. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">To show the pierced heart and the groin area together is indicative of art that shows the fulfillment of the old and new covenants. Christ came to circumcise the hearts of men. To transform them through his blood. Since Christ's body was Mary's flesh and bones it makes sense. The Mandala shape around her in gold rays is also an artistic expression of icons revealing the convergence of two things, here we see God become man. We also see Mary and Savior in a Eucharistic way. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">His body and blood was her body and blood. Her human nature giving him his. In iconography the mandala is reserved for Christ but of course she is pregnant with Christ but now we see Christ is also present in the image through Divine Mercy. (More on this below). Another finding that points to this same truth is that the constellations on the tilma reveal the center of the universe. The center is over the flow of water and blood NOT the Nahuai Ollin as we would think it would. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"> The Tilma is a geographical map of Mexico. Where each of the 9 flower clusters are laid out on the inner robe (Nahuatl Glyphs) is where the mountains are. Tepayac Hill is represented by the Nahui Ollin. These images help to show you how this is laid out. </span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">What is the 3<sup>rd</sup> discovery I mentioned? It is a song. A friend who traveled to Mexico and met with Msgr. Eduardo Chavez (as well as ancient documents cited in “Mexican Phoenix” has said as much has just told me. My friend told me that Msgr. Eduardo has taken pins and put them into every center of every flower. If you look at the stars and the center of the flowers, it aligns with notes on a staff. <a href="http://ia601600.us.archive.org/31/items/TheMusicOfOurLadyOfGuadalupe/2012-12-11132041.wav">Very soon I will upload the song played on a piano. </a></span><br />

My article entitled <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.blogspot.com/2011/05/good-vibrations.html">"Good Vibrations" </a>shows the biological changes that certain hertz, frequencies and vibrations that music has on us. <a href="http://embracingyourgreatness.blogspot.com/2012/11/st-hildegard-of-bingen-visions-reveal.html">St. Hildegard</a> created a lot of this very kind of healing music and there are multiple youtube videos of it for those who want to listen. The music probably provides healing vibrations. Some say that when God created us He sang the world into existence. St. Francis said that if you sing you are praying twice. Music is a powerful medium because it effects both the spiritual and physical reality of each person. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;">In 1921 a bomb was set off inside of the church in an attempt to destroy the image. The explosion cracked the marble floors, shatter the windows that were over 150 meters away yet no one in the church was hurt nor was there even a scratch on the glass that enclosed the tilma within. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">The tilma has been studied by artists, has been scanned using ultraviolet rays, microscopes and more. The colors have been determined to be neither plant, nor mineral nor animal yet the image was created almost 200 years before synthetic dyes were invented. There are no brush strokes, other than the ones that are of persons painting on top of the tilma to "improve" it. The paint they added is unable to stay adhered and flakes off of the image as if it is rejecting any improvements. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"> One example is of the addition of silver to the black moon. It seems some people thought black was a demonic color and should not be on the tilma so they tried to cover it. There has also been gold paint added to the gold rays in an attempt to make it more beautiful. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">There is a book called "The Mexican Pheonix" written by a Cambridge professor that shows ancient documentation he uncovered in the library archives in Mexico that the original artist in charge of caring for the tilma, signed on his death bed, a confession that there was a crown on Our Lady but that he did not paint over it. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>

It should be noted that the first missionary image that was painted using the original was the image aboard the ship at the Battle of Lepanto. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">It is said that the sailors brought the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe from below to the main deck and implored her direct intercession when attacked by the Muslim armies at sea. They implored Our Lady of Guadalupe and prayed the rosary. The victory was told to Pope Pius V by the Holy Spirit, a week before he received official word. The reason it was such a victory is because so many priests and religious were aboard the Moslem ships. Because they surrendered, thousands of lives where saved. Pope Pius V later declared the victory through the rosary but in fact it was through the rosary and the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe that saved the day. This is only one of thousands of stories in which a missionary image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has interceded to protect or preserve the faithful who implored her help. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">This image was less than 40 years from the original and had a crown in the painting. It is this reason scholars such as Mnsgr Eduardo Chavez believe that the tilma once revealed her as crowned but that it has since disappeared. The artist in charge of the tilma was accused of painting it on the original and then removing it. There are others that thought it was painted over and is underneath layers of paint. There also was the incidence of the top of the tilma being cut off when the glass frame came from Rome because the dimensions of it were off. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;">The tilma is a supernatural image from God and it tells us a love story of God for His Children, love of the bridegroom for His bride and Mary as mother and sister to mankind. This story is one that invites us back to union and communion with our creator. Blessed Pope John Paul II gave the Church so much while he was the vicar of Christ. One of the things he gave the Church was his reflections on scripture called "Theology of The Body". He helped us to see that the body makes visible the invisible person. That we are not animals or objects but we are persons. He also showed helped us to understand the trinitarian love of God. That God so loved the world that He gave Himself as a free, total, faithful and fruitful gift to the son and that Jesus Christ, the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity gave Himself as a gift of love back to the father in a Free, Total, Faithful and Fruitful way and the fire of love that burned between them WAS the 3rd person of the Holy Trinity. It should be noted that Pope Paul VI wrote about love being full, total, faithful and fruitful in his work of "Humanae Vitae". This concept was his but of course JP2 worked on that before he was Pope.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Theology of the Body is the antidote to a world in a downward spiral. We are living in a time of spiritual leprosy. There are many that no longer believe in the dignity of the human person or being made in the image and likeness of God. When we lose the truth about being male and female we lose our purpose, which is to love and to be loved. At the time Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico, they too had no understanding of who God was or that they had been made in His image and likeness. In fact, they were living in a culture of death that demanded human sacrifice to appease the demonic gods so that they could live to see another day. They also took many wives because they saw them as spoils of war. When the Franciscans came and tried to teach the faith to them some chose to be baptized but nearly all resisted monogamous marriages. It was only after Our Lady of Guadalupe came that they sought sacramental marriages. This was seen by many scholars as the real miracle. </span><br />

shares the same biological matter of Jesus. He "split" from her side like Eve split from the side of Adam. Here we see the New Eve, Mary and the New Adam, Jesus Christ, sharing the same biological matter.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">In the virginal garden of Eden, Eve with her No to God, took the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil and with her free will ate the fruit and in doing so she brought spiritual death to her children. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Mary, received into her virginal garden, the fruit of all Knowledge (The Alpha and Omega). With her Yes to God, she brought spiritual life to her children.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">As twins split so too did Eve from the side of Adam. The
exception is that identical twins cannot be of the opposite sex, yet woman did come from the side of man. The fact that a woman could come from the side of man reveals that our masculinity and femininity reveals a great mystery. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">“Let us make man in our own image, male and
female He created them” are words revealing the infusing of the divine life
into our bodies and being revealed through our bodies. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Mary gave her flesh, all of it, to Jesus.
This is the reason she was immaculately conceived. Just as Eve was taken from the image and
likeness of God (not the dust of the earth as Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand likes to
joke) Eve took her sinless flesh from the Adam.
Now we see that God is starting over from scratch, to make new all
things and so the New Adam is taken from the image and likeness of God, that is
spotless and sinless, a seamless garment. </span></span></div>

married and her coloring is that of the Spanish and Indians mixed. Sister, in that in the Song of Songs, we are
invited to contemplate the love of the bride and bridegroom as sister first
then bride. It is also a message of loving rightly, without the disorder of
concupiscence. The constellation of the Gemini Twin is over her
belly. There is more on this later in the article. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

is pierced and water and blood pour out, spraying out then down the robe and
pool in the Aztec fold above her feet.
This is not a subjective opinion.
I have been able to prove it using the dimensions of the shroud as well
as using the Nahuatl glyphs that correspond at these exact locations within the
tilm. Once you understand their original
meanings you see that in fact, they are speaking the same truths. The wise man glyph has the color of deep red, like blood, coming forth as if springing out of the mouth. This also aligns with the shroud to show the heart of Jesus. In fact, the Guadalupan scholars all agree this is an upside down heart glyph. </span></span><br />

The fact that OLG is dancing meant that she is participating in the song
revealing that she IS the bride. Yet, she is making the music because she is
CO-OPERATING by playing the morocco, which she is holding in the palms of her

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">The fact that she is making the music shows her role in the
redemption of man as her own conception was immaculately conceived (1st date of
apparition was the feast of the Immaculate Conception) and that through her Fiat,
her yes, The New Adam was given flesh and blood from which to give us his Fiat.
Just as Adam was free from concupiscence when from his side 100% of his DNA was
utilized to create woman. Like an embryonic twin that splits, Adam split and God breathed into her his divine life, thus creating woman. So now we have The New Eve, free from
Concupiscence, sharing her flesh to give life to the New Adam. God is outside of time. He created time and until He created us it did not exist. The Immaculate Conception reveals this. We now see that Time is a spiral. It is circular but spirals toward completion. </span></span><br />

the feminine heart home to truth. Even
her body is glorified and raised into heaven. We see the New Adam and The New Eve become eschatological. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;">It would make sense to ask the question as whether or not there is a foundation upon which to build a case that Our Lady of Guadalupe is exposing a "demonic trinity". </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;">I would like to demonstrate that it is in several ways. First of all, the culture from which the Aztec people came believed in many different gods and goddesses. It has been said by many scholars that there has never been a culture using such obvious demonic symbols and rituals. The snake has long been understood as a symbol of the devil. Snake skin was used to cover the drums that where beaten during the ritualistic slaughter of their victims on the altars of these such gods and goddesses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;">"This is an image from the last page of one of the maya codex. It is taken from the library in Dresden Germany. It is of the serpent God. It is a serpent like creature with symbols of constellations on it's side with signs of solar and lunar eclipses hanging from it's belly. It's wide open jaws has a flow of water pouring earthward." (From America's Treasure" by Helen Behrens) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;">"At the bottom is the black God of War, the bird of Evil Omen on his head; two javelins in his right hand a long staff in his left, all three pointing downward. It is the Mayan way of depicting Venus or the Aztec Serpent with feathers, (feathers indicating flight through space) and of the God of War, Mars, the Aztec Huitzilopochtli. It is a true representation of what happened throughout the centuries when this Comet approached our planet, causing darkness and all manner of catastrophes to befall mankind. The sculptured heads of the spirant represent the great comet with the ancestors of the inhabitants of Mexico had seen. At least 20,000 human sacrifices a year where made to the gods." (Helen Behrens "America's Treasure published 1964 Nihil obstat Mons. Gregorio Aguilar Imprimatur Lo decreto S. E. R. Doy fe Mexico March 1963 by Mons. Octaviano Valdes Srio).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">It should also be noted that the book "Catholic Prophesy; The coming chastisement" put out by Tan Publishing has entire chapter on "The Comet". There are many prophesies given by saints throughout the ages that believe this will again be the source of a coming chastisement. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">There are two speculations I make. There is a demonic trinity at work in the world and the Aztec and Mayan people depict their "persons" in their codexes. Much like an icon, a codex is theology in color intertwined with historical events ("demonic trinity" is a name I use that was given this name by Fr. Miguel Guadalupe of "The Veils of Our Lady of Guadalupe").</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">First, that their codex gives evidence to the demonic trinity being operational during their lifetimes and that they were linked to supernatural events as well as the stars. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">Secondly, that the constellations are and always have been a way in which God reveals truth. The three wise man followed a star to Bethlehem and anyone who has watched the DVD "The Star of Bethlehem" knows that the stars revealed the conception, birth and each of Jesus. Using advanced Astronomy software, the bible and secular historical documents the creator of "The Star of Bethlehem" proved definitively that the star of Bethlehem was birthed through the Virgo constellation and in fact he shows this on screen to the viewer. He uses scripture to show us that Kepler's quote "Astronomy is the Wise Mother and Astrology is the foolish daughter" means that we do not ignore the constellations here, in fact we should be asking, why did God chose to put those constellations in the sky to be captured by the tilma and why are they configured where they are on the tilma pictorially? </span><br />

precise locations on the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe is another
invitation. They have been proven to be
in the exact positions of the constellations of the morning sky of 1531 using Johannes Kepler's advanced mathematical formulas and advanced software from N.A.S.A. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The dragon in scripture is said to be the
liar, the deceiver and the one that brings division, confusion and schism. The dragon’s attack is on the family and it
begins with the same lie in the garden, God is not who He says He is, God does
not love you, you are animals not persons made in His image. When we believe the dragon we embrace
homosexuality, pornography, atheism and more.
The dragon seeks to lie about God our Father in Heaven and to divide and
confuse His children. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Notice the 7 heads of the dragon in scripture? This is the liar and his lies are the 7 deadly sins which are all sins that result from believing the liar and turning away from God and to self for truth. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> Pride is an idolatry of self through intellect, academics, vanity to name a few. The liar tells us that we have no value and worth so we make our own. It is used to escape feelings of unworthiness and shame. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>

power so the enemy must use truth to manifest any real spiritual effect. </span><br />

This is because the enemy realizes that shedding the blood of Christians creates martyrs and their blood is the seed of the Church. He does not want fertile ground. The killing of Christians will be massive once the anti-christ has been personified because then the darkness has been achieved for such a thing to happen. It will then be the descent, upon which we will not be able to undo. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">It has been going on since the beginning and it continues today. There are a few sins that cry out for justice. These sins are crimes against the Immaculate Conception. One of them is homosexuality and another is abortion. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Using
the laws that God has ordained as true, the enemy uses the truth that blood is
a bonding of spiritual and physical and manifests a relationship or covenant to
do the same but in an evil way. The
spilling of blood manifests a spiritual reality in the physical realm. The spilling of blood of an innocent is a
sacrifice and when done in abortion, the woman’s body is used as an altar. This is not just a bad thing happening in our
world, it is actually manifesting dark powers and forces in our world and it
seeks create darkness that will overcome the graces from our prayers, penance
and fasting of the faithful. Perhaps
now, in an age that no longer seems to believe in God, the scales have been
tipped and we have descended the spiral towards the opening of the seals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Time
is like a spiral. It is circular in that
it is ongoing. The reason every
generation believed Jesus would come back was because he was, but through the
grace that abounded in the world allowed for the time and the age of Mercy to
continue. The enemy knows he loses in
the end so why would he want to bring about the end of the world when he is
having so much “fun” here? Because the enemy realizes that by bringing about
the end of days, no more souls will be born to glorify God for all eternity in
heaven and this is a victory, however small in our eyes, because a single soul
has so much value to God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

enemy knows that if he can work to create a culture that embraces the
anti-christ he can even perhaps perfectly possess someone to become the anti-christ
from which to bring about the downward spiral to the inevitable end. There is a new religion and it is called "Enlightenment". The "Chakra's" are openings from which to allow the demonic to go from infestation to oppression and then possession. There are many levels of possessions, rarely can someone be perfectly possessed but it does happen. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">I am reminded of the saints that had the stigmata as well as the ability to bi-locate (St. Padre Pio). If you have read any of the biographical books of Venerable Anne Catherine Emerick you will remember she said that when Adam and Eve sinned the mystical openings where divine light shone from their bodies closed. When Christ was crucified the five openings where mystically re-opened. Perhaps the Saints have been mystically pierced with an arrow to open them to this divine light. </span></span><br />

The combination of an Islamic name and Islamic devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is a great attraction to Moslems. God is writing straight with crooked lines, as we will see. Fatima is a part of Heaven's Peace Plan." </span></span></div>

Our Lady of Sorrows surely will help us bridge this gap. </span></span></span><br />

While this article does not provide all of my research, it has enough
information so that those in which whom the Holy Spirit has touched already or
are ready to see, will in fact see and perhaps do their own research to see
what part God is asking them to play in what I believe is showing the way to
the largest Evangelization to take place in the shortest amount of time since 9
million Aztec's were baptized within a 7 year period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

way is through Mary as Co-redemptrix (co-operating with) Christ's Divine Mercy
as revealed through this image and explained by Bl. Pope John Paul II in his

decision to enter man into his salvific plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Our Lady of Guadalupe give you the receptivity in your heart to hear and see
how Christ's Divine Mercy desires to be revealed through your gifts, your
apostolate and your life. It will be then that after becoming receptive, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and through a mystical espousal, the operational gifts of the Holy Spirit will be released and THIS will transform the world.

Hildegard has been raised up for this time in the Church because when we read

Hildegard of Bingen's writings entitled: Scivia's, page 491, you see a picture
of what Our Lady is revealing in the Scorpion constellation. It is the
"anti-Mary" and her "opening" is that of a demon/beast head
with gnashing teeth. This is what this operational spirit is doing on
earth. Then on page 493, Vision Eleven, speaks of "The Last Days and
the fall of the anti-Christ. This describes this her "and from her
waist to the place that denotes the female, she had various scaly blemishes;
and in that latter place was a black and monstrous head. It had fiery
eyes, and ears like an ass, and nostrils and mouth like a lion's; it opened
wide its jowls and terribly clashed its horrible iron-colored teeth."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">16. (10) Mary is called by St Augustine, and is indeed, the "living mould of God" . In her alone the God-man was formed in his human nature without losing any feature of the Godhead. In her alone, by the grace of Jesus Christ, man is made godlike as far as human nature is capable of it. A sculptor can make a statue or a life-like model in two ways:<br />(i) By using his skill, strength, experience and good tools to produce a statue out of hard, shapeless matter;<br />(ii) By making a cast of it in a mould. The first way is long and involved and open to all sorts of accidents. It only needs a faulty stroke of the chisel or hammer to ruin the whole work. The second is quick, easy, straightforward, almost effortless and inexpensive, but the mould must be perfect and true to life and the material must be easy to handle and offer no resistance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">17. Mary is the great mould of God, fashioned by the Holy Spirit to give human nature to a Man who is God by the hypostatic union, and to fashion through grace men who are like to God. No godly feature is missing from this mould. Everyone who casts himself into it and allows himself to be moulded will acquire every feature of Jesus Christ, true God, with little pain or effort, as befits his weak human condition. He will take on a faithful likeness to Jesus with no possibility of distortion, for the devil has never had and never will have any access to Mary, the holy and immaculate Virgin, in whom there is not the least suspicion of a stain of sin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">ST.
Hildegard’s visions tell us that we do not need to worry because Mary will lead
the battle against the anti-Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Finally,
on page 496 St. Hildegard says this;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;"> "The Church will shine in her justice
until the time of the Antichrist”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">“So now
you can see him from the waist down; for now you see Him in the strength of His
members who are His elect, and He will flourish as Bridegroom of the Church,
with many obscure signs and wonders, until their number is complete. And from
the waist down to the place that denotes the male he glows like the dawn; for
until the time of the son of perdition, who will pretend to be the man of
strength, His faithful members will be perfected in fortitude and He will be
splendid in the justice of His righteous worshippers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, in the same place, a harp is lying with
its strings across his body; which signifies the joyful songs of those who will
suffer dire torments in the persecution that the son of inequity will inflict
upon the chose, torturing their bodies so much that they are released form them
and pass over into rest.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px;">Our Lady of Guadalupe is revealing that torso of Jesus Christ is being
revealed in the inner robe on the Tilma. The shroud of Turin is the icon
of the new Adam and when it is laid over the Tilma the dimensions are exact.
Divine Mercy is also exactly aligned with the shroud but of course it is
because this is what OLG is heralding to her army was the weapon that will
defeat the Anti-Mary. The message of Divine Mercy is in fact a message of
the incarnation, the enfleshment of God become man, it is the message of
co-redemptrix as it is the body of Mary that gave us the body of Christ from
which to hang on the cross, it is a message of the body making visible in the
invisible reality of who God is (love) and our call to love like the trinity
and how God pre-destined this from the moment Mary gave her fiat at the
Annunciation. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">There are
common themes throughout every approved Marian apparition in Church history that connect it to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Why? because Mary is rising up a mighty army.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Through her immaculate heart we will be perfectly opened and formed, she
will bestow a virginal emptiness into our hearts from which Christ’s sacred
heart can pour itself into.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the
victory of her immaculate heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">Mary’s army
is the heal that will crush the serpents head and her immaculate heart will
triumph because it is through her heart we will be given Christ’s heart from
which to witness Him to the world that is in thirst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those consecrated to Our Lady will become the heal that crushes the head of serpent. The way in which we will be able to do this great task? By allowing her immaculate heart to empty us and form us in the perfect mold from which Jesus' Sacred Heart to pour Himself into. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, Times, serif; font-size: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif; font-size: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span">
This is because her immaculate heart is the first step necessary in transforming our hearts more perfectly into Christ's own heart so that we can be christ's to others. We, like Mary, are called to become tabernacles. We are to become the hands and feet from which to bring Christ to a world that thirsts! When we are more perfectly formed, we will bring Christ in the tabernacle of our hearts and as our eyes are the window to the soul, we will see them in their nakedness and they will not feel shame. Their own hearts will leap for joy like St. John in Elizabeth's womb in the presence of the living God. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each of us usually have a particular feast that calls to us and this is her choosing because it entails the graces and formation and a special seal, agreement or participation that will flow through us in our living out of that consecration.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once we can identity the graces and messages, teachings and plan of each day through tradition, it becomes easy to "see" which feast day we are called or attracted to. This is part of the new evangelization as much as we should go to college to learn the skills for a job we are called to do, not just any old job. To be truly effective we must ask God to help us discern our calling. St. Catherine of Siena said that we will set the world ablaze when we are doing what we were called and created for. This is no different.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif; font-size: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">The 33 Day Consecration program enables those who have been "recruited" into Mary's army to begin their basic training. The way you will know which National Guard, Army, Navy, Air-Force or Marine's you are called is to identify which Marian Feast day you feel drawn to consecrate yourself on. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif; font-size: 20px;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_OqCpdcwPbo" width="560"></iframe></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">Just as there are unique and specific specialities in the military, so to are there in the New Evangelization. Each of her feast days are unique and with it a grace flows to uniquely form the person who enlists on that day.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">I am currently discerning all of the implications of what each feast day and what it will give or ready the person to carry out as the "Knights of the Immaculata", "Church Militant" or "Slave Of Mary" but be assured, it seems that each of these days has united to it, a specific purpose.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">I would speculate that the Marian Apparition Feast days are for those who are called to be part of the New Evangelization in a more public way either through an apostolate or ministry. The other days are about personal transformation and sharing that particular charism and grace for the propagation of the kingdom to sow the seeds of receptivity into the hearts of the faithful who will then, hopefully, be called and select their own day and thus enlist as well. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">The only Marian Feast days I am confident in defining so far are the following. As we prayerfully discern together (and you share in the comments) the Holy Spirit will open our eyes to see and our ears to hear the truth in this even more).</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">May 13, Our Lady of Fatima</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">The Call: To bring restoration to families. To enable men to become the fathers they are called to be and the mothers to embrace motherhood. Devotions to the Holy Father. Those promoting "offering it up" and offering themselves as a living sacrifice. Those called to promote fasting and prayer as a means of uniting the body and the soul, our entire person to prayer. The body makes visible the invisible so the fasting component enfleshes the spiritual prayer and enables the grace to become a reality in our physical world. Those who are called to free souls from purgatory. Martyrdom</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">The Call: Re-establish the dignity of the human person, assist those who have fallen slave to their passions particularly that of addictions. A call to defend Humanae Vitae and all that it teaches. Those who are promoting a deeper understanding of suffering and forgiveness as a means to heal and open their hearts more fully to Jesus and Mary. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">The Call: Co-Redemptrix and all that this truth brings. Restoring the understanding of personhood. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #666666; color: #f3f3f3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">The Call: This feast day and the Immaculate Conception feast day will be united in purpose and will cooperating together in their living out of their unique call. The focus of this army will be to bring Inner healing through the lens of Divine Mercy, Theology of The Body and will be engaged in Spiritual battle using deliverance and sacramentals to bring freedom to souls that are infested and oppressed. </span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">The story of the woman at the well is a marriage proposal and is
a great place to begin in sharing how we are treasures in earthen vessels. It is strangely reminiscent of the song we sang
as children “first comes love then comes marriage then comes the baby in the
baby carriage”. First there was God who
is love. Then the word was made
flesh. Jesus is the Bridegroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">That childhood song was a song about the holy Trinity and the
call of our God into the marriage relationship of the bride and bridegroom and
how we will be transformed into new creations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Theology of the Body gives us a beautiful lens from which to fully
understand what the old Baltimore catechism said when it said we were created
to know love and serve God to give you him forever in heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">The woman at the well is symbolic of all of our brokenness because
of the sin in our lives, all of the inadequacies and all of the ways in which
we fall short and yet God comes to us and seeks us out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This is the marriage proposal. We are made for connection we are
made for relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

transgression. It is not just a violation of the law, but because the law was
meant to protect as persons and to protect our world and our environment and
God’s creation it is also a violation of God and violation of us so every time
we separate from God and transgress upon his will we transgress upon ourselves

may think that we have nothing to give, our brokenness, or even our sinfulness might
make us believe that God could never possibly choose us. The woman at the well
is a reminder that God does chose us and when we allow him to redeem us, it is
as if we are pressed to the lips of the master and when His Spirit blows
through the reed, lyrical music is created because of the hallowing out and the
notches that had been cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

mallet to create its form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those
whose forming came from the succession of blows or from the purification of
fire, they may understand that they are like Gold, that they are good, but they
may not believe themselves worthy of greatness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is the age-old question “Who do you think you are?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we remember that we are the beloveds of
Christ, that He called us into being that we are His, then we remember who we
are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A chalice is used to offer the
great sacrifice of the mass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those
whose form is like the chalice, God desires to fill you with the water and

Him out to a thirsting world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

downy feathers of a tender mother bird’s breast create the form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those who may have been formed by loving
parents, in a prayerful home and have no painful formation as part of their
story the temptation could be to say that they do not have a unique or
inspiring story. Those whose story includes love, fidelity and affirmation are
not only hope and inspiration for the world but it also creates a person more
fully capable of revealing Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This

I do not claim to be an expert on Our Lady of Guadalupe. I claim to be a woman with an Amazon account who has read the scholars and done research as well as sought out those considered to be experts (The writings of Mnsgr Eduardo Chavez, Fr. Mario Sanchez and original documents as well as Cardinal Burke, Fr Peter Damian Fehlner, Fr Thomas Loya on Iconography and many more).<br />

<br />
I have talked with some, met with others and I have read their books for the past 3 years. Using their work, their writings and their discoveries I simply connect the dots. While the experts see the miracle of 1531, I seek to point out the Miracle of the 21st century. Our Lady of Guadalupe has been providentially chosen by God to re-evanglize the world, to offer healing, protection and deliverance. She is also declaring that she is Co-Redemptrix, or rather God is declaring it in the Tilma. All of things things are not subjective but objective proves that I can show using the Nahuatl Glyphs, the language of Iconography, theology, scripture and of course the writings of Mnsgr. Eduardo Chavez and others. I hope you enter into this great Miracle for she is the ark upon which we must board. </div>

I would also like to share that I personally hand delivered my research to the Secretary of Cardinal Burke when we was visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse. He was the Bishop of the Diocese I grew up in and he helped me to become a speaker by allowing me to speak throughout his Diocese and writing me a letter of recommendation. He reviewed my work and wrote to me from Rome asking me to go see Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner at the Shrine. Fr. Fehlner reviewed my work and offered me two of the books you see below to help me continue my research. </div>

Here are some slide shows on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Did you know she was predestined to be the intercessor of the America's? Did you know the Shroud of Turin perfectly aligns with the tilma and the image of Divine Mercy? Did you know that there are new discoveries within the image proving that Heaven is re-issuing an invitation to listen to a message within it for the Church of the 21st Century, the time when the technology was invented to discover the secrets contained within it until we were ready to see, hear and act upon on it. God is good. </div>

Our Lady of Guadalupe was predestined to be the protector of
the faithful, the remnant Church and the America’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Icon was carved using Mary herself as a
model by St. Joseph, “written” not painted as it is an icon, by St. Luke and
then given and used as a means of protection and healing throughout the
centuries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Protection from the uprising
of Radical Islam/Muslims and protection from the plague.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is tied to Our Lady of Fatima through
protecting the area from Muslims, to Our Lady of Lourdes in that the
Franciscan's formulated the dogma of the Immaculate Conception before it was
formerly declared by St. Bernadette and she is tied to Our Lady of Kibeho
through the 7 sorrows of the Icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

The Icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe-Spain was carried over the
head of St. Gregory when the plague took the life of the Pope; St. Gregory
became Pope and carried the icon over his head as he fled the city saving many
of the faithful with him as they went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He later gave the image to Bishop Leander in Spain that was enduring
persecution by the moors (Radical Muslims which beheaded Catholic Christians). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe we will see major conversions of the
Muslim faith through Mary, particularly that of Our Lady of Guadalupe. <o:p></o:p></div>

It should be said that the area now known as Fatima was
named such after Mohammad’s own daughter converted to Catholicism after falling
in love with a Catholic that remained in that area under the protection of the
buried Icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe-Spain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her husband renamed the area “Fatima” after his wife (yes the once Muslim
daughter of Mohammad that converted to Catholicism) Fatima is the 2<sup>nd</sup>
most frequented pilgrimage to this day for Muslims in honor of Fatima.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1326 a little known farmer Gil Cordero saw Mary appear to
him telling him where to go to find the buried Icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He brought with him men from the church to
the spot pointed out. It was discovered along with documents authenticating it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our Lady asked for a Church to be built in
honor of her and the icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a
river that ran near the location and so the name of the Church and the Icon
became “Our Lady of Guadalupe” because Guadalupe means water that runs
through/within/between the black rocks. Mnsgr. Eduardo Chavez, the
world-renowned scholar on all things Our Lady of Guadalupe, has authenticated
this. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

1464 King Alfonso’s daughter, Queen Isabella went on
pilgrimage with her husband King Ferdinand and consecrated herself and her
reign to OLG.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would meet Christopher
Columbus at a gathering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He told her that
the Holy Spirit came to him in a dream telling him that he was to go to distant
lands and bring the faith to those who did not know the true God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had the same dream the night before and
so it would seem providence brought them together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would become the personal benefactor and
supporter of Christopher Columbus, Cortez and Bishop Zummaraga.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Before departing Christopher Columbus made a pilgrimage to
OLG-Spain to consecrate himself, his vessels and his discoveries to

<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1519 Cortez went to the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe
and consecrated his voyage and his future work of bringing the faith to the new
lands discovered by Columbus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cortez
landed on the exact day of the Aztec prophesy telling of the return of the one
true God and King, the sister of Montezuma also dreamed and prophesized the
landing of the men and even described the image that would be on the sail of
the ships (a large cross).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why
Cortez was able to not only land without incident but it laid the grown work
for him to enter into the very powerfully guarded cities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first thing Montezuma set to work at was
to bring an end to the demonic sacrifices upon the altars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He destroyed them the altars, held Holy Mass
there to consecrate these places to God and destroy the hold the devil had
claimed on this ground and their people and placed a statue of Mary on them
begging her intercession. <o:p></o:p></div>

So we see that Mary, particularly OLG had a unique and providential
role in claiming the America’s for her son. She brought protection, guidance,
deliverance, evangelization and intercession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I will show how she is declaring once again that God has a providential
message and role that she in particular is called to fill right now in this
time of World History.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again we are
entering into a demonic culture of death and need a supernatural intercessor.
Once again, OLG is the answer. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is no mistake that Blessed Scot Duns, a Franciscan way
before Our Lady of Lourdes declared it, developed the doctrine of the
“Immaculate Conception”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Franciscans
were preaching this theology for some time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Franciscans were chosen to be the order to teach the faith to the
America’s because this doctrine would we central to understanding the mysteries
within the incarnation, the new eve and the new Adam and God’s call to union
and communion with a love that is divine and free from concupiscence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bishop Zumarraga felt unworthy to be the Bishop of the new
lands and so guessed it! He went on pilgrimage to OLG-Spain to consecrate
himself and all of his work to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every single one of the involved in establishing the United States of
America went to OLG-Spain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coincidence
or providence?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
St. Juan Diego is significant because he is laity, simply
formed and not at all a theologian and yet he was chosen to be part of God’s
plan of imparting the faith in the New World.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The place where it would be protected and nurtured while Europe would
later be in turmoil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Bishop
Zumarraga struggled to share the faith he begged for OLG-Spain to intercede and
asked for a sign. He asked for Castilian roses because they were from the part
of Spain he was from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would answer
that call and more. The miracle of Tepayac hill consisted of her messages, the
roses he asked for as well as MANY OTHER FLOWERS that were gathered and have
significance, although we only hear of the roses. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Slide 11<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a codex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
codex is the way in which Ancient Nahuatl Indians recorded history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They used images and glyphs because they did
not use an alphabet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They could “read”
what was “written” on a codex because every picture spoke to them as a
language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the original codex
created by the Nahuatl Indians to record the appearance of OLG.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was created in 1548 and further proves the
miracle of Olg was not something fabricated but less than 17 years after the
event they were recording it as history. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Slide 12<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While almost 10 million Nahuatl Indians were converted in
less than 7 years through this image it was because of the language God spoke
to them that this miracle of faith was able to speak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only that but the Bishop received the sign
He asked for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was not until later
however that it was understood what exactly that language was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Fr. Mario Rojas Sanchez that first
realized the pictures were Nahunta Glyphs and began to study them for their
meanings and significance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be
noted that he also believed that this image was the very image spoken of in
Revelations that St. John saw during mass in a mystical vision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“And I saw the woman clothed in the sun with
the moon at her feet”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is believed
that the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was what St. John saw in the sky and
then wrote of in Revelations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
significant because there is evidence to prove this using the constellations
that are aligned on the tilma that prove in fact that it seems to miss the very
stars spoken of in that passage that were “cast out of heaven by the serpents
tail”. <o:p></o:p></div>

inverted, the North and south and east and west are turned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the way the Nahuatl Indians created
their own maps so that would be significant by itself but perhaps more
importantly it signifies that was what up (remember the nahuii ollin reveals
that the Indians see the 4 directions of the world signifying God) that the God
who is up has come down (incarnation) and for us it reminds us that was down
(the enemy) is up and roaming about the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

all about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who it is we are fighting,
his battle plan and how we are to defeat him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was all discovered now because the message is for us now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using the original message and meanings of
the glyphs as well as the language of Iconography (an approved and ancient
means of teaching theology in color as well as the constellations and their
Christian roots) we see clearly that God providentially chose Mary to bring us
Jesus, she is the intercessor from which we will board the ark of the new

Behold I make all things new! Why would it surprise us that
if God created man and out of his side he would create woman, immaculately
conceived and free from sin much like that of Adam before the fall and make all
things new by taking Man from the flesh of Mary? Her immaculate conception gave
the hands and feet upon which the savior of the world would be formed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With no biological father, Mary is the only
flesh upon which Jesus was created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is taking from her side, man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new Adam
and the new eve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of us who
understand science know that men and women share different chromosomes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can split a twin from one flesh but you
will get the same sex not a male and female.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, God created us in His image and likeness, Male and female he
created them so the supernatural component of the immortal soul into the flesh
is somehow inexplicably tied to our sexuality as well as our intellect and
biology. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the messages being heralded in the image of OLG is
that of the New Adam and The New Eve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It

history as well as our own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was creature
yet able to do what Mary could not or would not revealing she is our hope
because as mere mortal creature it is possible to live out the will of God
despite living in a broken world. It also heralds a call that all of us are to
enter into the redemption of the world since God is the one who decided to work
through human beings. <o:p></o:p></div>

out blood and water we see the line of deep red pigment (which Guadeloupian
scholars have all described as the color of blood) flowing down the side of the
three folds that extend just under the Nahuii Ollin and pooling into the Aztec
Fold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same scholars say that the
shadows of pooling are not consistent with the lighting so they are unsure why
it pools in this way, but if we acknowledge it is blood and water it pools
exactly the way this liquid would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
glyphs within this segment shout the truth of what is revealed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stream of water and blood, which many of
us understand as the pierced heart of Jesus, the font of Mercy described by St.
Faustina, were given to us by Pope John Paul II, without His approval we would
not be venerating the image nor sharing the message of Divine Mercy in the
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right in the Wise Man glyph, at
the very corner of his mouth is where the blood and water begin their flow as
if to say Out of the mouth of the wise man, the man you know as Bishop with the
MITRE hat (again all approved understandings and translation by experts) that
this Pope spewing out of his mouth the font of Divine Mercy to the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It should be noted that the there are many more glyphs
within the tilma that back up this claim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So we see an image of the love of the trinity and who God is through
that sign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If God so loved the world he
gave us his son, we see now with the crucified torso of Jesus with his heart
pierced and flowing out unto the precious treasure of the world, we see Jesus
loving the father in that he gives himself as a free, total and full gift,
faithfully and fruitfully back to the father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The trinity is revealed here in this and for anyone having problems with
Mary seeing the torso of Jesus in this way may be a means of drawing him or her
into the fold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This part of the Icon has
as if an inner light that shines and radiates from the image.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone who lays eyes on the image would see
that there seems to be a light that illuminates from within this one area
making it to appear to be more radiant than the rest of the image.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The First Icons were in fact created using the Shroud of
Turn as the template so why would not God Himself speak through the language of
Iconography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be noted the
flower shaped glyph shapes on the shroud image in red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some scholars have wondered why they look
“child like” but if you understand the Nahunta Glyphs and the connection of the
icon of the new eve (tilma) and the icon of the new Adam (shroud) it makes
perfect sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as a man’s body
makes no sense by itself but only when understood in light of the
complementarity of a woman’s body and equal in dignity do we see an expression
of complementarity and that “male and female” he created them in His own image.

There even seems to appear beams of light that come of the
area on the surrounding area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
visible in most of the print images but even more so from Fr. Tim’s
images.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was granted special
permission to capture the image in an unprecedented way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given full access to the image, to control
the lighting and to use high power digital photography, Fr. Tim as created over
40 detailed tiles that he then spliced together to create one very precise
image.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is said to be the most
accurate and detailed “photograph” of the image in existence and can be viewed
one tile at a time to see detailing within the image almost never seen before.
Just as an icon is written to reveal the Heavenly message and doorway that it is,
so too is this icon of OLG revealing that this is an icon, a doorway, theology
in color, a poor mans catechism. In a world where people seem to no longer be
able intellectually reason out faith, perhaps once more Heaven will speak
through an image but are we listening? This is not just a historical
document.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an ongoing miracle
that is declaring itself to have a message for the Church in the age in which
the technology to discover the message would find it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why, in an image where every detail means
something is no one asking why these details are being discovered using modern
technology? Why is no one asking, “Do you think Heaven is trying to tell us
something” I say yes, in fact it is being heralded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

The tilma is significant for many reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One it was simple cloth, made of cactus fiber,
a plant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was traditional covering for
the Indians. It was a covering of the body that signified family affiliations
and sometimes-rank dependent upon its splendor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This material was used in marriage ceremonies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two would be tied together to signify
union between man and woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems
this being chosen as the canvas is revealing that every person is significant,
that marriage is significant, that laity will be playing a significant role and
that that ceremony/ritual is significant and that God wants to tell us
something about all of these things. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TILMA; Tilma worn during marriage ceremonies, worn on the
body as a covering. Bridegroom and Bride are tied together as a symbol of their
union during ceremony of wedding. It also is used to carry children later, in
the fold, which is then tied around the waist of the person. The Tilma is worn
by average people therefore revealing that ALL are called to Union and
Communion. Two pieces of cloth were sewn together; in fact the center of this
cloth is the exact middle of the image. It is where two have become one. Two
pieces of cloth become one garment. This also brings dignity to male and female
he created them as marriage is only between a man and a woman. In the image, I
content the exact center of the tilma is also where the divine mercy image is
in the robe. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
TILMA; Not only do the constellation's placed precisely over
her image where theological truths are conveyed, but she reveals that her
immaculate conception is woman fully participating in the redemption of man.
Just as Eve took of the apple and ate, so did Adam and so BOTH fell from the
glory of what God had intended for them. In God's plan for the redemption of
man, He could have done it by any means He saw fit, yet, He chose for the
participation of mankind, and begun so through a woman. Male and female He
created them, so would not God make it known that male and female they are redeemed?
If we are made in his image, male and female, then we see how beautiful it is
that before Christ takes His flesh from her; the merits of His sacrifice are
applied to her at the very moment of her conception. OLGuadalupe appears to St.
Juan Diego on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, linking this truth to the
image. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The most used analogy of the bible is a wedding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the teaching of the relationship
between the bride and bridegroom that most accurately describes the
relationship God is calling us to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is
calling us to the wedding feast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first
miracle Jesus Performed was the Wedding Feast of Cana. This was for many
reasons one of which was to show us that He was giving us new wine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This new wine is the love of God poured out
for many.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sacred vessels used, the
water that was contained in them and the fact that the quality of the wine was
mentioned all point to God showing us that He is coming to restore and to make
New by giving us His love free from sin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the incarnation is a language of Love. In every faith that exists
EXCEPT Christianity the person must do something for God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>IN Christianity, God came to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary had it done unto her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did nothing other than open herself in
love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Song of Songs is the language
of the bride and the bridegroom when loving as sister my bride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The invitation of a gentle lover that Woo’s
his bride and does not force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The love
that remains faithful and gentle and merciful is shared with a world desperate
to understand what love is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The message
of the Song of Songs is in the tilma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The flower glyphs even create a re-occurring melody when a pin is placed
within the flower’s center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Indians
used flower clusters as poetry, music and prayer so of course once again, now
that we have technology to discover the music found within the image, we are
being re-invited to listen the message within the Song of Songs, the call to
marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not just any marriage, the
call to union and communion with our almighty God in the wedding feast of
land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will we be like the virgins that
prepared by gathering oil or will God say he does not know us? Knowing of
course is about intimacy and relationship (Mary knew not man).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God of course knows all of us but we are
called to be in relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary is
reminding us of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Scorpion is an ancient evil force at work in the world
since the very beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the bible
the serpent is referred to the great perverter and wounder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wounds through perversion of
sexuality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It emasculates, it controls,
it is Jezebel, it is Lilith it is isis, Osiris and horis and it’s one desire is
to work with the liar to confuse our understanding of what it means to be a man
and woman and to create great woundedness so that we can not enter into God’s
plan of love and salvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Serpent is the enemy that brings death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spiritual death and physical death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many Theologians and scholars of the Church
understand the great sacredness of blood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>God himself has made blood part of how he enters into sacred covenant
with His people and this has been done since the beginning of time. The enemy,
having no real power of his own, and uses what he knows as truth and follows,
in a legalistic way?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The enemy presents
a lie “Did God really say you can’t eat from the tree of knowledge?” to bring
division, schism, distrust and doubt as to what is true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next step is to pervert being made in the
image and likeness of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best way
to do this is through wounds. The enemy enters in through wounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most intimate to wound is through our
sexuality because it is intimately tied to our personhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not just our bodies that are man and
woman, masculine or feminine it is also our very personhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Physical abuse, mental abuse and verbal abuse
are all means to create wounds but sexual abuse is the most intimate and deep
cutting wound because is creates a chasm between us and our creator because our
purpose and identity becomes distorted. Not to mention the sacrementality of
the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The enemy realizes this and
desires to create his own demonic sacraments using blood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sexual abuse and abortion, prostitution,
murder all spill blood and so they create a contract and a means of gaining a toehold,
a foothold a stronghold in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When we agree with the lies and submit our will saying “I am unloved, no
one will ever love me, I am alone, I will always be alone” we of our own free
will turn from God inwards making false idols that are presented to us. This
creates a network of wounding that Mary desires to reveal so that we can be
made fully whole. She is coming to restore the Church. She is revealing and
shining light on the darkness and she is bringing a grace of supernatural
healing, protection and perhaps an even “hiding” from the evil one as we
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is receptivity and so being in
the presence of this image painted by the finger of God of Mary onto the tilma
is a divinely “written” and created image.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If she is pure receptivity, openness fertile ground then perhaps a grace
of receptivity flows from the image and touches all in its presence through the
doorway of the icon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The teachings of
the church are that Icons are spiritual doorways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doors move two ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can both enter in and God can come to
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is coming to expose the enemy so
that we can be healed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like St. Ignatius
says, we are to be filled not for our sakes but so that we can overflow onto
those around us. We have been leaking out the graces we are receiving through
the cracks and crevices the evil one has made in the form that God created us
into being. Some of us are chalices called to be a life of sacrifice, some of
us are Reeds, hallowed out and emptied so the Holy Spirit can play lyrically
through our lives some of us are like a birds nest hallowed out by the loving
tenderness of family life and love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
each of the forms we are it is our perfect form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we embrace the emptiness through
vulnerability and turning outwards toward God and away from the lies and false
idols, she will pour a healing salve into our form and seal the places we are
leaking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then will be able to be
filled to overflowing so that we may bring a drink to others who thirst. We are
called to be tabernacles, to the hands and feet upon which to bring Christ to a
wounded world and she is showing us the way and the how.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have anger issues, your issue is not
anger it is an idolatry of control as a means to protect the root of the wound,
which is usually an abandonment wound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you have lust issues, the issue is not the lust in fact it is called
a distress symptom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the neon sign
and God’s mercy is trying to get your attention to point you to a place you may
have come in agreement with the enemy with a lie that is of your own free will
preventing you from finding freedom in this area in your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idolatry found connected to lust is
relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we distrust God we turn
to others or a relationship to make us feel whole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why? Because we are protecting the real root
of the wound which is a rejection issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“No one loves me, I am ugly, disgusting, repulsive” If we agree with the
lie the enemy proposes he has permission to infest or perhaps even oppress us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He stirs up our fears and emotions and presents
more lies (distorted thoughts).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some may
turn to pornography, promiscuity, a spouse or other to fill the void to quiet
the voice of feeling unworthy and unloved because they do not see they have
turned inward instead of outward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We,
all of us are failing to see that the first commandment is the one the enemy is
using over and over to attack us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
proposes that we must turn to ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He proposes we are only animals, He proposes there is no God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary comes expose the liar, bring truth, healing
and once again evangelize the world as to who God is and what the incarnation
means to us as well as prepare the world for Jesus once again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is the ark. <o:p></o:p></div>

It begins with consecration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It continues with you placing this image in your own home, perhaps next
to an image of Divine Mercy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through the
image, she seems to be saying she will pour out a gift of receptivity so that
as the Holy Spirit is pouring out Graces upon the world in preparation for
Jesus to come again, we will not only be able to retain them and utilize them
we will be able to bring a portion to others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her mantle is often referred to as a protection for the faithful, to
hide us there in the crossing of her arms, within her mantle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She seems to be inviting us to step into the
folds and hide from the enemy and to allow her to do the battle with the dragon
as she will crush the serpent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I would also like to share that I personally hand delivered my research to the Secretary of Cardinal Burke when we was visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse. He was the Bishop of the Diocese I grew up in and he helped me to become a speaker by allowing me to speak throughout his Diocese and writing me a letter of recommendation. He reviewed my work and wrote to me from Rome asking me to go see Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner at the Shrine. Fr. Fehlner reviewed my work and offered me two of the books you see below to help me continue my research. </div>

Our Lady of Guadalupe is revealing to the world an unprecedented invitation from God through Mary (just as He did when the incarnation was heralded through her virgin birth of Christ) and that message is that through the intercession of the Merciful Mother, Our Lady of Divine Mercy, Our Lady of Guadalupe is pouring out a grace of receptivity, of protection within her mantle for all of those who call upon her and ask for her to hide them within the crossing of her arms, the shadow of her protection and that found there within her mantle is the sacred heart of Jesus, pierced for all sinners and from it healing waters flow. <br />
<br />
This talk takes the audience on a journey back to ancient Aztec 1531 and shows how this culture used human sacrifices to appease their many false gods and deity's in hopes to keep the sun shining and the crops bountiful. A history lesson in how Cortez landed on the day prophesied by the Aztec's quickly led to Bishop Zummaraga praying for Mary to intercede since the missionary efforts of the Franciscans were failing. Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to a simply laymen, St. Juan Diego, with a message uniquely communicated to the Nahuatl Indians in a language using picture glyphs within a miraculous image that appeared on his tilma. <br />
<br />
This Divine Codex appeared when St. Juan Diego obeyed OL Guadalupe and picked a number of Castilian Roses which had miraculously bloomed in the middle of winter on a desert hill amidst the cactus. These roses were not indigenous to Mexico but from Spain and were the sign that Bishop Zummaraga had prayed for to show him that Mary would answer his prayers. When St. Juan Diego brought these roses to the Bishop, which was no small effort, the image on the tilma he used to carry them, appeared in an instant before the group gathered there as he opened his tilma allowing the roses to fall to the floor. <br />
<br />
This talk explores each glyph, it's meaning and how it spoke to the Aztec people in a language they could receive and brought the knowledge of the one true God to them in a way they could see it, receive it and not just understand it, but believe it. God used a this image as a catechism to teach the faith. The result was over 10 million Aztec converts to Catholicism within 7 years. <br />
<br />
I then answer Pope Benedict's call for art, particularly Iconography to be utilized to teach the faith. Through the understanding of what an icon is we see that not only is Our Lady of Guadalupe an icon, a NEW and unprecedented message is being "taught" to the people of the world today who just like the ancient Aztec's are in need of learning about the one true God. In a world of materialism, technology, information or intellect being the highest truth, we see that in pursuit of things, success and knowledge, we too have allowed the shedding of innocent blood on the temples of false gods. <br />
<br />
In the 20th Century new discoveries were found in OL Guadalupe, the constellations of the morning sky exactly as they appeared in Dec of 1531 have been painted precisely in the position of the universe on her mantle. These constellations are revealing that a battle is at hand and that OL Guadalupe is a unique means of protection, healing and Evangelization that Blessed Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI trust in and is why both have called upon her for this "unique time in history" to protect the family, the Church and the America's. There has also been a discovery within her eyes using powerful magnification. <br />
<br />
In her eyes is seen Bishop Zummaraga, St. Juan Diego, the interpreter in the room, a servant and an entire family including a mother with a child on her back. This is a message of Mary holding the family in her eyes as she peers into the eyes of Draco the Dragon constellation, who we know through scriptures to be the "great deceiver" the lier that comes to confuse, to deceive, to cause confusion and division. We are at war and through the lens of Iconography, I will reveal how Blessed Pope John Paul II is in the inner robe of OL Guadalupe, the divine mercy image of Christ's pierced heart flowing with water and blood are within the image, an unholy trinity of 3 demonic forces are working in unholy union to spread lies and deceptions that disorientate, divide and confuse (Draco the Dragon), to bring spiritual and physical death (Hydra the serpent) and to bring perversions related to masculinity and femininity causing deep wounds that bind the enemy there (Scorpio the stinging scorpion). Many, many more truths are contained within objectively proven symbols contained within the image that have never before been understood through the lens of Iconography. This talk reveals them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Her arabic name, her jewish clothing, her skin revealing mixed heritages, are a vehicle from which the muslims can identify (she is linked to Fatima and this as well as the fact that Mary is revered by Muslims is key), her jewish clothing appeals to the Jewish people and the explanation of the incarnation through the constellations may prove to be a point in which to evangelize our Jewish brothers and sisters and because the corpus is hidden with the icon, it is a gentle invitation so that those who are not ready to see, can be gently invited in to the truth of Christ's sacrifice for all of those who will answer the call. Protestants will be evangelized for the scientific proofs of this supernatural image will allow the message contained within it to be believed.<br />
<br />
Other interesting comments; <br />
<br />
1. The shroud of Turin, when aligned with OL Guadalupe, corresponds perfectly over where the divine mercy image of the torso of Christ is within the robes of OL Guadalupe on the tilma. The shroud and the tilma are both linked to "marriage". The tilma is used in the marriage ceremony tying the two together during the ceremony, later it is even used to carry a child. The shroud, perhaps the table cloth used at the last supper, the wedding feast of the lamb that we are called two. Both are two pieces sewn together to create one piece of cloth. Both are geometrical in measurement. These are only a few examples of evidence linking the shroud and the tilma. <br />
<br />
2. Through the lens of Iconography, the trinity is revealed within the image. <br />
<br />
3. The themes of Theology of The Body can be found in the image and it is my belief, using Msgr. Eduardo and Carl Anderson's findings in their book "Civilization of Love" that it is a deliberate teaching of Theology of the Body through sacred art, through Iconography. <br />
<br />
4. There is an unholy and diabolical "trinity" revealed in the image and TOB is the antidote to the perversion of masculinity and femininity that the third demonic entity is disseminating throughout the world in attempts to destroy the family. <br />
<br />
5. The image is a topographical map of Mexico revealing the exact place of the apparition. Fr. Miguel Guadalupe's book "The Seven Veils of OL Guadalupe" shares that their are geographical locations of God's grace and receptivity to the divine and that the enemy knows this and attempts to claim this as his own so as to subvert God from flowing in those areas to the people of the world. Perhaps this is why the demonic goddess who is the antithesis of Mary had her temple on the very hill in which OL Guadalupe appeared and asked the church to be built. Perhaps this is also why the drug cartel has grown so powerful that many are afraid to go to Mexico now. It is I believe another attempt to keep people form the place upon which many graces, blessings and healing's are waiting to be received by those who would pilgrimage there.</div>

Sometimes it's hard to realize that in order for a house in ruin to be
fully restored, it must be torn down so as to begin with a more solid
foundation. There is a part of me that feels like this is what Inner
Healing has done for me. This form of "therapy" isn't really
therapy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It healing. It goes to the
foundation and helps to bring about full restoration. I have not been

strangers and I had to stand before them in my nakedness. Then I
realized, that I had to go back to the garden and become naked like Adam and
Eve were before the fall. If I would be willing to become naked without
shame, then I would discover what it truly means to enter into the words
"Jesus, I trust in You". <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you? I began to get angry as I listened to scripture saying that God
desires to heal us and help us and love us. I guess that means for other
people and not for me then. The rage was welling up inside of me. I had
to get out of there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> The

even contemplated being vulnerable, I saw an image in my imagination of myself
on a horse drawn carriage. I had one rein and God had the other.
The carriage was all over the place. I guess letting God have one
rein was a great first step but by not giving Him both reigns I was going
nowhere fast. I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to consider giving God
both reins, at least for this week so He could show me His plan and that He
could be trusted. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

am so I have nothing to lose. So I stepped out in fear and consented.
I decided anytime I felt Him prompt me, I would submit to being
vulnerable. Honestly, I was a little excited to see what this would feel
like. I was in a safe place to do this so the circumstances of my
experiment seemed worthy of effort. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

submit control. I was asked to participate in a living sculpture of the
trinity. At one point I was asked to enter into the sculpture. I was
asked to rest my head on the "Father's" chest while the "
Son" would embrace me from the front and the "Holy Spirit" was
supporting and hugging me from behind. It felt awkward and feigned.
I began resenting the fact that I had agreed to submit to being
vulnerable. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

love to any who would buy it. But the Man before her now was different.
He looked passed her reputation to her very soul. His eyes had no agenda,
no desire to use her. They probed the deepest crevices of her pain but she saw
no loathing, no hatred, and no condemnation. How could this be? She
saw only compassion and mercy mingled with sadness at what He knew she had
suffered. She looked away. She did not know what to do in the face
of love that held no guile or hidden motive. Yet her gaze drew back to
this Man they called Teacher. Her heart compelled her.</i></span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

locked. She could not look away again even if she tried. How could
she return even a drop of the ocean of love in which He washed her that day?
It was inappropriate to be sure. It was in the middle of an important
dinner for which she had no invitation. And it was not in the proper manner.
She could scarcely believe she had just barged right into the middle of
the room. It was absolutely undignified yet she was compelled by His
love. She washed His feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
It costs her everything, every shred of dignity and year's wages gone in
an instant as she poured out her precious perfume.</span></i><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> Why was I so afraid of vulnerability? Why did I see
vulnerability as weakness? </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> It was then that I got the answer. I saw a picture in my
mind of me at 3 years of age, lying naked on a waterbed being sexually abused
by "Al" the babysitter.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> Of Course! I had made the agreement that vulnerability means
losing your rights and being unprotected. You cannot get more vulnerable
than being three years old, naked and being sexually assaulted in a strange
place. Even if I could have gotten away where would I have gone? I was
alone and had no idea how to get home. This was vulnerability to me.
I had decided at three years old that being vulnerable meant being
violated, assaulted and victimized. I thought the only person that could
be trusted to protect me was myself because others cannot be counted upon.
It was this lie that I had decided to believe that set me up to be a
woman that could not be vulnerable. I had misunderstood what being vulnerable
means. I had thought to be a vulnerable woman would become a woman that
was weak. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">Mary Magdalene was not weak, she was brave. She was brave
enough to believe that Christ would accept her and her offering. She
marched a crossed that floor and she opened herself in a very vulnerable way.
She was not assaulted there nor did she become violated. In fact, it was
her lifestyle that violated her and stripped her of her dignity. Here, in
her willingness to expose herself she was having her dignity restored.
That's when it hit me. If I was willing to become naked in the same
way then could I be healed too? Was I resisting being vulnerability
because I was still consumed by shame? What is shame? What does it mean
to say that Adam and Eve were naked without shame? Could it be that I
must be willing to willingly become naked in front of God so that in that
voluntary vulnerability I could finally experience healing? Yes, I think I
needed to relinquish control so that I could let God lead me. If I could
do that, it would be the beginning of learning to trust Him.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> Control has been my lover for the last 41 years. It has
made me feel strong, competent and has soothed my anxieties like drugs for a
junkie. If I could not deal with how something was happening, I would
take control. Want to know how that has worked out for me? Let's just say
I have burned a lot of bridges in my life using control as a coping mechanism.
Being vulnerable meant I would have to give up control. This was
going to be harder than I thought. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> One of the nights I was at the Healing retreat I had a dream
about what this control was doing in my marriage. In the dream I was
about to be attacked by a large deformed dog. It was about to crush my
skull in it's oversized jaws. My husband was standing in front of me, raising
his fist to strike the dog beast down. I watched, as he seemed to be
slowly puffed up with air. He was getting larger and larger but he did
not release raised fist to strike the dog. Fear began to well up inside
of me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to take over. I
began to scream at him. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> I sat powerless to help her. Once again he began to fill
up, growing taller and larger. His fist rose up higher and larger.
My fear that the dog would strike before Shawn would act burst out of me
again. I began to yell and holler at him to hit the dog. The
louder I yelled, the smaller my husband became. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

that my desire to control as well as my refusal to be vulnerable was
emasculating my husband. I had stripped him of feeling adequate, worthy

then thought about how the man is the "head" and the woman is the
"heart". <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">I honestly believe that for a woman to operate in the head, she
must make her heart covered in stone. A woman is made to flow from the
heart. Even scientists and psychiatrists will tell you that a man has the
ability to think through stressful situations and assess them cognitively
without being drawn into the affect. He can then compartmentalize them
and rank them in according to purpose and then deal with the decisions that
flow from it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">Women usually think on things simultaneously. For me to
put myself into the very stressful role of dealing with all of the difficult
decisions (that come from the head) I had to shut off my heart or else I would have
internally combusted. I had made my heart into stone. No wonder I
had a hard time hugging and kissing my children! I had to turn off the affect
so I could get things done! I had a house to run and finances to sort out and
decisions to make and stress to deal with! I had no time for snuggling and
comforting children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> It' somewhat ironic that I went to Florida to find out why I
have a hard time showing affection and ended up dealing with the very thing
that the root or cause. I thought about how arguing with the HVAC guy or
electrical guy or the bank guy etc, was making me into a hardened woman not a
vulnerable one. I could not be both. I was not made for being a
manipulative woman that always found a way to get what she wanted or needed.
I was made to love and be loved. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> I now had to ask myself the question is there a spiritual
aspect of this issue of mine that must be addressed? "Have I come into
agreement with a spirit of control?". I looked deeply within me and
prayed to the Holy Spirit for wisdom. I had barely begun to ask the question
when a resounding YES rang out within me. It's name is </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4776928190694110021#editor/target=post;postID=8978332981211772201;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=1;src=postname"><span style="color: #0000f6; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">The Jezebel Spirit. </span></a><span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> (Click the link

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> The next day I spent some time with the Intercessory Prayer
team and we renounced lies, unbound agreements and cut the connections that the
Jezebel Spirit had made to me. I realized right away that I had come into
agreement with the clever lies it had proposed to me. It is in making an
agreement that I had given it power in my life. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> I can honestly say I experienced a tremendous shift in my
thinking and freedom from something very powerful. That week was another
week in the journey to becoming the woman I have always been meant to be.
If I want my husband to succeed in being father, husband and man of God
that he has been called to be, then I must give him the opportunity to lead our
family. It is this very thing that will fulfill him and his masculinity.

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">So where am I now? Well, now I am dealing with trust and
overcoming the fear that wells up inside of me when I am not the one making the
decisions at home or orchestrating how the days, weeks and months play out (not
easy at all but I can do all things through Christ Who Strengthens me! Phil
4:13). </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> If I am standing on the platform then how will he ever be able
to? Everyday it hurts. Everyday I am challenged to be vulnerable
but the first step came in understanding that Jesus would never define being
vulnerable as opening myself to be violated. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> Being vulnerable now means that I am willing to be imperfect.
I know that I am not bad, in fact, I am the opposite, I am very, very
good. I may make mistakes and do things that are bad, but I am not bad.
In fact, I have been hard wired for struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will continue to struggle against the
difficulties of life but now I realize that when I am vulnerable, I open up the
door for God to come in and take care of me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;">I have now entered into a trusting relationship with God in a
very different way. I try to pay attention to when I use the words
"should" and "need" and "but" because they show
me when I am trying to control people or things or when I am not allowing God
the freedom to move in my life or the lives of others. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #f99700; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16.0pt;"> I am glad I had the courage to be vulnerable because if I
hadn't I would have missed a week of intense inner healing of the deep wounds I
have carried from my childhood. I am not all better yet, but I am on the
road to healing. He knocked on the door and I opened it. I now
allow Him to lead as the Good Shepard and I am continually reminding myself not
to take the place of the butcher (the guy who drives the sheep). When He
leads (and I am not driving things from behind) then I can trust that He will
take care of me and I can be vulnerable. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> His way, affords protection, green
pastures, quiet waters, it refreshes my soul and I am protected from evil.
That sounds a whole lot better than what I have been giving myself the
past 41 years. </span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“O Church, pilgrim
and suffering, of which I am the Mother, you must understand that the center of
your life, the fount of your grace, the source of your light, the beginning of
your apostolic action is found only here in the tabernacle where Jesus is truly
kept…The more your life revolves wholly and entirely at the foot of the
tabernacle, in intimate union with Jesus in the Eucharist, the more you will
increase in holiness. (#360 c, d, B).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a quote from Fr. Gobbi’s book on what Our Lady spoke
to him for the Church. I read this on a
card given to me by Lilla Marie, a woman that is now a part of me, not
merely someone I met or someone that I know.
In fact, I know her as an experience, which is internal rather than external. I met the love of God in that place. I learned something about God there and so
desire to share it with anyone who is seeking their own identity or seeking to
“know” God and His calling on and in their own lives.
I think for me, this is going to transform how God will evangelize in
and through me. Here is what I believe
the Holy Spirit showed me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The source of light, the font of grace is to be the center of our
lives and it is the tabernacle. This is not an external thing (although certainly we
know Jesus is there) but rather I speak of a mystical tabernacle within our hearts. Mary is the mystical declaration of this
truth as she was and is the first tabernacle. She embodied
the incarnation of God, literally. Jesus Christ, God within the tabernacle of her womb and she
brought HIM within this tabernacle of her heart to the world when she visited
Elizabeth. In this demonstration of gift of herself, she
revealed what we are to do when Christ “lives” within us. We are to bring Him to others and in doing so, their
birthplace within them, will “leap” for joy when they encounter Him through us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Intercourse of the heart is a 2-fold mystery. When we spend time with Jesus in the flesh a
mystical infusion, penetration and intercourse takes place within our own hearts. His mystical “seed” is ejaculated there into an open and receptive heart, the fertile ground
within us which will bring about supernatural life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">An intimate encounter of love with the Beloved renews and refreshes us, it restores us. When we receive Him in the flesh, in the eucharist, it is a unification of the body, soul and spirit
within us. We are receiving His Holy Seed, His Word, made flesh within
us through Eucharist.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">As living tabernacles, we enflesh it when we live out the
fruit that begins to grow within our tabernacle of personhood. We are then “possessed” an enfleshment of
this spiritual reality, communing with God. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The body, soul
and spirit is 3 in 1, a Trinitarian view of our personhood. The Divine Trinity comes to us
in a profound way in all three of these parts of our own personhood.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God the Father gave Himself as a full, free, faithful and
fruitful gift to the son and the Son openly received this gift and gave Himself
to the father in this same way and the love between them IS the Holy Spirit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The more your life revolves wholly, surrendering
your all and everything at the foot of the
tabernacle within you, the more we allow Him to possess us and conforms
our will more perfectly to His. Through
this possession of our being, our tabernacle of our personhood then is more perfectly possessed by the Holy Spirit, an intimate union (intercourse
of the heart) with Jesus in the Eucharist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we are in His presence (Adoration) or receive Him in
Holy Communion, a mystical restoration takes place through an intercourse of
our person with God in His Three Persons. This brings new meaning to “you are what you
eat”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We need to be recharged, to receive and be filled to
overflowing so that we can be filled so as to spill out to those who are
desperate for their thirsts to be quenched.
It seems that intercourse of the heart with God is a profound way to do
this and the purer the form of Him we receive the more capable we are to
enflesh Him in and through our own lives, families, communities and
friendships. The more we do this the
more we will increase in holiness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I desire to be filled.
I desire to be capable of evangelizing in the way that Heidi Baker,
founder of Iris Ministries declared in the foreword of Michelle Perry’s book
LOVE HAS A FACE. She said “I have seen visions of a radical army of
laid down lovers- a whole generation of those who are so full of passion and
intimacy that they run into the darkness without fear to bring in the lost
bride.” What I have to say to that is
this. COME HOLY SPIRIT COME. <o:p></o:p></div>
