If we had to identify which are the three most important messages that we are delivering - in the Name of God - in an effort to help those who read our pages to best prepare for the End of These Times as they continue to live their day to day lives (and not hide in an underground bunker), they are all related to the Will of God.
The first would be to ensure a solid prayer life because the living the second and third most important messages depend on it.
The second would be determining What is the Will of God? and How to discern it and live it?
The third would be to ensure that the Holy Spirit of God has found a home in our soul so that we have the most important spiritual GPS in the Universe guiding our every step and alerting us to every imaginable danger.
Once again we entreat one and all to heed the Admonishment of St. Paul which was as valid then - as they were heading towards the destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem - as it is now as we approach the End of these Times, the destruction of most of the world as we know it.
And remember.... because God has allowed us to do this or that it does not mean that our actions are in accordance to His active Will.
When He has had to resort to His passive Will it is to help us to we learn - the hard way - what we should have leaned the less painful way, yet we refused to.
In case that you have not heard..... the bee colonies continue to die off, and, as expected, the information has been kept under the proverbial carpet because no one really knows why they are dying.
Reports of rapid declines in bee populations date back as far as the Roman Empire. But
this time it's different, says Baer. "We don't see bee populations
recovering". In the US, for instance, the number of managed honey bee colonies have
declined from six million in 1947 to 2.5 million today. The global phenomenon dubbed "colony
collapse disorder" threatens our food supply. Bees are our main crop pollinators – if
they go, so might we. (1)
But not to worry....
"....researchers at the University of Helsinki have learned how queen bees immunize their
young. Beekeepers might be able to exploit the same trick to protect their hives. They found a
common yolk protein that nourishes the developing bee larvae, also kick starts their immune
system. Saving the world's crops with a bee vaccine." (1)
We just do not want to "burst their bubble" but, for the development of any kind of vaccine the cause of the disease to be protected from must be known with certainty and no one has any clue as to what is causing the colony collapse disorder. Oh, yes, we can vaguely cite pesticides, pathogens, fewer wildflowers, the phase of the moon (!?), the Maya Calendar(?!), the Planet X (!?), Donald Trump (!?!), Hillary Clinton's mail server (¿!?!) etc. etc., but no one knows for sure which one, NOR the mechanism.
(sarcasm on) We do not know who is going to die off faster - the bees or the world population as it chokes with the smoke from the many smoke screens used to hide from the general population all the threats that continue to advance upon it. (sarcasm off)

Today we conclude the first set of Focused Prayers so that:
After a break we will start the second set of group Focused Prayers on September 14th - The Triumph of the Cross - and will conclude it on September 24th - Our Lady of Ransom.
Although it may not be obvious yet, God is delivering results as promised.
Why do we know that with great certainty?
First, because His Word is True and secondly because He has confirmed that to me many times over the last 30 years.
You must have heard by now..... that "Pope" Francis declared Tuesday that he is allowing all priests in the church's upcoming Year of Mercy to absolve women of the "sin of abortion" if they repent with a "contrite heart." (1)
Before we comment upon the latest Opus Dei orchestrated "attention getter" Francis has embarked on, we wish to remind our position regarding abortion which can be summarized as follows: Even if the mother's life is in serious danger abortion is never an option.
With that said let us review the official position of the Roman Catholic Church Francis is referring to:
The way the excommunication for abortion works is this:
Canon 1398 provides that, "a person who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication." This means that at the very moment that the abortion is successfully accomplished, the woman and all formal conspirators are excommunicated.
An abortion is defined as "the killing of the foetus, in whatever way or at whatever time from the moment of conception" (Pontifical Council for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts, published in the "Acts of the Apostolic See" vol. 80 (1988), 1818). This definition applies to any means, including drugs, by which a human being present in the woman is killed. Thus, once a woman knows she is pregnant the intentional killing of the new life within her is not only murder but an excommunicable offense. A woman who only thinks she might be pregnant has a grave responsibility to find out and to protect the possible life within. Any action to end a "possible" pregnancy while probably not an excommunicable offense would be callous disregard for life and gravely sinful.
To actually incur the excommunication one must know that it is an excommunicable offense at the time of the abortion. Canon 1323 provides that the following do not incur a sanction, those who are not yet 16, are unaware of a law, do not advert to it or are in error about its scope, were forced or had an unforeseeable accident, acted out of grave fear, or who lacked the use of reason (except culpably, as by drunkenness). Thus a woman forced by an abusive husband to have an abortion would not incur an excommunication, for instance, whereas someone culpably under the influence of drugs or alcohol would (canon 1325).
In any case, whether one has been excommunicated or not, the sin of abortion must be confessed as the taking of innocent human life (5th Commandment). If the penitent did not know about this law at the time of the abortion then he or she was NOT excommunicated. If the person knew about the law but there were extenuating circumstances (such as mentioned above concerning c. 1323) then these factors should be mentioned to the confessor. He will say whether he has the faculty from the bishop to absolve from this excommunication or whether he even needs to. If he does not, he will privately and secretly obtain absolution from the bishop or send the person to a confessor who has that power.
A person who believes they have been excommunicated must refrain from Holy Communion until both absolution for the sin and absolution for the excommunication has been given. (3)
Once again we are faced with a perfect example of:
Why? Because they are making the engaging in the Sacrament of Reconciliation very difficult for the sinner. If the sinner is faced with such complicated procedure, most likely she/he will skip the Sacrament of Reconciliation and all the other benefits associated with it. No; the forgiveness will not be lost if the sinner is truly contrite and sorrowful about having been part of an abortion. It is God Who grants the forgiveness and not the Administrators of the Church.
....and no one - but NO ONE! - will stand in the way between a repentant sinner and God.
With that said....
Shouldn't the same automatic excommunication (from the Church, not God!) apply to the members of the Hierarchy, clergy and religious orders who engage in sexual abuse or its cover up?
and
We are not aware of a sin more damaging to the soul than to be sexually abused by someone who claims to be representing God.
As we have said before, if the capacities of purgatory and hell were limited - today's sinners would be "home free" because most of the Administrators of all organized religions would have occupied every single available space by now.

With that said let us review the official position of the Roman Catholic Church Francis is referring to:
Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the
canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a
completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae ," "by the very commission of the
offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby
intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed,
the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the
whole of society. (2)

Once again we are faced with a perfect example of:
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land
to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than
yourselves. [Matthew 23:15]
Why? Because they are making the engaging in the Sacrament of Reconciliation very difficult for the sinner. If the sinner is faced with such complicated procedure, most likely she/he will skip the Sacrament of Reconciliation and all the other benefits associated with it. No; the forgiveness will not be lost if the sinner is truly contrite and sorrowful about having been part of an abortion. It is God Who grants the forgiveness and not the Administrators of the Church.
Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to
call the just, but sinners. [Matthew 9:13]
....and no one - but NO ONE! - will stand in the way between a repentant sinner and God.
With that said....
Shouldn't the same automatic excommunication (from the Church, not God!) apply to the members of the Hierarchy, clergy and religious orders who engage in sexual abuse or its cover up?
....fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but
rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew
10:28]
and
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth
of the sea [Matthew 18:6]
We are not aware of a sin more damaging to the soul than to be sexually abused by someone who claims to be representing God.
As we have said before, if the capacities of purgatory and hell were limited - today's sinners would be "home free" because most of the Administrators of all organized religions would have occupied every single available space by now.

Russia slides deeper into recession, and prospects are 'grim'
The combination of Western sanctions and tumbling oil prices is pushing it deeper into recession. Russia's economy shrunk 4.6% in the second quarter, the biggest drop since the global financial crisis in 2009.
The ruble has plunged 22% against the dollar in the past three months. Inflation soared nearly 16% in July.
Russia is heavily dependent on its oil riches -- around half of its government revenue comes from oil and gas exports. Oil prices slumped from $107 a barrel last June to $44 right now, forcing Moscow to cut spending across the board.

If we place on one side of a balance the spiritual cost of all abortions performed since 1917, and
on the other side of the balance we place the horrific consequences brought upon the world
(2) because the Roman Catholic Church Administrators refused to fulfill the
requests from Heaven through Fatima - requests which were in keeping with basic Catholic Faith
practice - how would the Administrators' souls compare with those soiled by abortions?

[First
Saturday of the Month]
From (Mr.) IW @ US
I have a question about Genesis 22, the story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac at (what he believed to be) the command of God.
Every church tradition that I am aware of - Protestant, Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox - holds up this story as an exemplar of the faith of Abraham, and of the corresponding faithfulness and mercy of God (because of God's provision of a substitute sacrifice). This is how the text is preached everywhere, among liberals and conservatives alike.
During the first six years of my life as an adult Christian (from mid-1978 till November 1984), I did not challenge or doubt this preaching. I do now, and with these questions:
True enough, God intervened (Gen. 22:11-19). Did Isaac hear and see the same mysterious and Divine things as Abraham did, or did he just see his Dad hesitate, stop, free him, and sacrifice a ram that had wandered nearby?
In the everyday world of this century, any father in a civilized country who would do as Abraham did in Gen. 22 would be sent to a hospital for the criminally insane, and Child Protective Services would take the child into care - with, one hopes, intensive therapy for the almost certain case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that the child would be experiencing.
In any age, a child who went through this experience would be scarred for life - unless he were given a miraculous healing.
To put my question bluntly: If this event is key to the faith of the Abrahamic religions, to what extent is the tradition of these faiths based on (non-sexual) child abuse?
I have mentioned this question privately to a few people over the years, and never got a satisfactory answer.
I have never put the preceding material into writing, since it would be considered heretical by mainstream monotheism.
IW
A. Every time we hear the word "heresy" or "heretics" we cringe because its real meaning, to those who utter it, is:
This is not new - it goes back to Akhenaten who has been dubbed by Egyptologists as "The Heretical Pharaoh" (1) even though his belief was more coherent with Divine realities than the belief of the religious establishment of the time. John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were also considered heretics.
It is like the much used by the Vatican word: Excommunication. Frankly, anyone who receives an Excommunication note from the Vatican should send them a Thank You! note. Who in his right mind wants to be associated with those Administrators (2)? We said "Administrators" - not Faith, since the Catholic Faith (East and West) is the faith which contains the most revealed Truths of any faith (3) on the face of the Earth.
With that clarification made, let us get back to your original question: If this event is key to the faith of the Abrahamic religions, to what extent is the tradition of these faiths based on (non-sexual) child abuse?
To understand what went through Abraham's and Isaac's minds we must slip into their shoes and time frame. (4)
Even today - in some cultures "father indeed knows best" and if the father in question is a loving and God-obeying father, the son, even though naturally fearful, would submit with much less trauma than most westerners of the 21st century would. Then, after the 11th hour deliverance, the son's faith and respect for his father would have been greatly enhanced.
Unfortunately, said passage, as most are, is improperly presented from the pulpits, thus the endemic disorientation of the followers of just about any organized religion.
It has been given m de P to understand many of the workings of the spiritual Domain. Therefore, we can say with assurance that the Abraham - Isaac experience not only was logical but was an absolute necessity for the salvation of humanity.
Man had to be willing offer to God the life of his most prized possession (yes, in those days children and wives were the father's most prized "possessions") - the most awaited, and almost given up hope for, son - BEFORE God would sacrifice the human life of His Only Son, Jesus Christ, so that humanity had an opportunity for Salvation. (Salvation was a given reality for mankind at creation, but was lost because Eve tried to be God-like and Adam believed her rather than God.)
Divine Law demanded that Abraham endure such a severe test of his Faith. [We say "test" and not "temptation" as some Biblical translations state. God does not tempt man, satan is the one who tempts man.]
For a deeper discussion regarding the faith of Abraham, the frequent interference of the Patriarchs' Biblical wives, and the horrendous consequences of this interference with the Divine Plan, we recommend a document titled: Understanding The Beginning of the Discord in the Middle East

From miguel de Portugal
As we have stated in the past, there are no character faults, they are only characteristics of a particular soul which need to be directed/molded/channeled to produce much good fruit instead of disrupting their lives and that of others.
Take for example a self centered/assured individual - by birth and/or by upbringing. This individual, with the proper molding can become a great leader with a minimum of negative fallout. On the other hand, without the proper channeling/molding such individual can become a serious spiritually damaging individual.
What happens if: (a) the original sin of an individual is precisely being self centered/assured; and (b) that soul is among the Elect, yet no one in his/her "upbringing team" realizes the dangerous characteristics of the soul in question? God swings into action and sees that said soul is graced with compassion which, in a self centered soul causes that soul to become very sensitive to feelings of guilt.
How it works..... A self centered/assured soul is moved by the impulse of ego gratification and, frankly, could not care about anyone around them who would not be of benefit to them. Now, if God allows through the individual's upbringing that the Grace of compassion seeps into that soul, the natural self centeredness (a new word) of that soul is now modulated by the guilt which is triggered by the compassion.
If that guilt is shaped/molded by those who love the soul in question, then it does not become a destructive trait - which, in its greatest expression, would be committing suicide. That self centered, yet modulated by guilt, soul who is counted among the Elect will reach Home safely after benefiting many with his/her modulated negative characteristics.
We hope that we have been able to explain this concept clearly enough for its understanding by our readers. If we have failed, ask and we will try to clarify it further.
Although the explanation was given to me yesterday, we have witnessed that - from a front row seat - in my own family for decades. In this particular aunt and niece pair one would think that the niece is a perfect clone of the aunt, except for the fact that God granted the niece the gift of compassion, which triggers the guilt, which in turn controls her pronounced self centeredness.
Every day that goes by God leaves me speechless as I witness His unmeasurable love and compassion for His Creation.
We have just published.... The beginning of the discord in the Middle East - Understanding its roots.
It is much easier to deal with problems when we understand what really was originally at its roots, which, in this case, go all the way back to Abraham.
The reason that..... Microsoft is pushing (not promoting, but really pushing it!) Windows 10 is because with it the little privacy that internauts had will disappear. (1)
We have just been informed (2) that, in case not everyone runs to download the "free" Windows 10, Microsoft has a proverbial Plan B. Said plan is to issue Updates for Windows 7 and 8 which will see that their users also lose the little privacy we have left - even if they "passed up the opportunity" to have a free Windows 10.
We are not necessarily recommending that you take the action that we intend to; we are only sharing it with you as a matter of general information.

The reason that..... Microsoft is pushing (not promoting, but really pushing it!) Windows 10 is because with it the little privacy that internauts had will disappear. (1)
We have just been informed (2) that, in case not everyone runs to download the "free" Windows 10, Microsoft has a proverbial Plan B. Said plan is to issue Updates for Windows 7 and 8 which will see that their users also lose the little privacy we have left - even if they "passed up the opportunity" to have a free Windows 10.
We are not necessarily recommending that you take the action that we intend to; we are only sharing it with you as a matter of general information.

Mrs. L. M. from the US has called to our attention some events in the US and in Europe which coincide with the much debated visit of "Pope" Francis to the US and the no less debated restart of the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) particle accelerator in Europe.
We have added some key religious dates - Jewish, Catholic and Muslim - and indeed the "writing on the wall" gives reason to pause and think... and perhaps take note how God continues to alert His children about the Times we are living through.
The Letter listing the Events and Dates
Much publicity is being done here in the US to prepare us for "Pope" Francis visit this month.
The following information may just be a coincidence, but maybe not.
Madonna (1) is on tour and will be performing in three of the cities, and in one of the venues, that Francis will be visiting or offering Mass. The name of her Opening Theme is what caught my attention: Desecration of the Bride & Arrival of Fallen Angels
She opens the tour in Canada on September 9 (the day after we celebrate the Birth of Mary - the real Madonna).
Madonna's Concert, in Washington, DC, - Verizon Center - September 12 (Feast of The Holy Name of Mary). - Opening Theme - Desecration of the Bride & Arrival of Fallen Angels
Madonna's Concert, in New York - Madison Square Garden - September 16 and 17 (September 15th Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows) - Same opening theme: Desecration of the Bride & Arrival of Fallen Angels
Francis arrives in Washington, DC, on September 22.
Francis offers Mass at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on September 23 (Conception of John the Baptist and Jewish Yom Kippur and Muslim Eid ul Adha).
CERN (2) Firing at full power the particle accelerator, crossing over and opening portals September 23 - 24 (23rd Conception of John the Baptist and Jewish Yom Kippur and Muslim Eid ul Adha and 24th Feast of Our Lady of Ransom)
On September 24 Francis addresses US Congress (first time in world history) (Feast of Our Lady of Ransom)
On September 24 Francis travels from Washington, D.C. to New York City.
Madonna's Concert - Philadelphia - September 24 (Feast of Our Lady of Ransom) - Same opening theme: Desecration of the Bride & Arrival of Fallen Angels
Francis offers Mass at Madison Square Garden on September 25. He will address the UN on the same day.
Francis arrives in Philadelphia on September 26. Mass at Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul.
Mass for the conclusion of the World Meeting of Families, (outdoor mass) September 27 (Observance of Mary, Protector of Orphans).
Another Concert Venue: Tomorrow World/Tomorrow Land: Celebrating False Love and Light, Keys, Anti-Christ, Opening Gates and Portals in Atlanta, GA, September 25 - 27th. (27th Observance of Mary, Protector of Orphans)
And to close the month, should we get there... The final in the current tetrad (3) of four total lunar eclipses will take place overnight Sunday night-Monday morning September 27-28.
I am glad we started praying our group prayers in August. There is a lot that needed to be addressed.

May those who have Eyes, See and Ears, Hear because ...the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. [Luke 12:48]

(3) What is a "tetrad"? The September 27-28 is the last total lunar eclipse in a series of four total eclipses spanning back-to-back years; that is known as a tetrad. There are only eight tetrads in the 21st century. The first tetrad of the 21st century took place back in 2003 and 2004. The remaining tetrads for the 21st century will take place on the year-pairs: 2032 - 2033; 2043 - 2044; 2050 - 2051; 2061 - 2062; 2072 - 2073; 2090 - 2091.

Immediately after the 9-11 Tragedy.... we published a document which started as
follows:
We encourage our readers to review the entire document as well as the
Notes added on to it on September 5, 2002, April 16, 2002, February 1, 2003 and
August 16, 2003.
God used us to compose that document originally, yet, upon reading it again - with what has happened since 2003 as a backdrop - we have been shaken anew.
Brethren, please remember that we are neither selling survival equipment, rosaries, insurance, books, indulgences, or want to get on your Last Will and Testament. Stop and think about that!
Why would we spend the last 24 years, after leaving behind a life that very few people have had the opportunity to enjoy, trying to alert the world unless God Willed it for the benefit of all?
Think about it!.... and then act accordingly!
In the aftermath of the Heavenly warning of September 11, we heard everyone clamoring:
GOD BLESS AMERICA! ...and rightfully so!
However, why should we be clamoring for what He has generously already
done in the past?
The problem does not lie on lack of Blessings from God, the problem lies in
the manner in which we have utilized such
Blessings.
God did not cause such horrors to befall the U.S., God allowed them
in an effort to minimize the suffering that awaits us in the near future
Before we continue to randomly "turn other countries into parking lots", it behooves us to
carefully meditate on why did God allowed such
tragedy?

The Roman Catholic Hierarchy Loyal to Jesus Christ vs "Pope" Francis -
Or so it seems
Although the information presented is "right on schedule", it is quite an eye opener!
From miguel de Portugal
In the first reading of the Mass celebrating the Exaltation of the Cross we hear, once again, about Moses and the brazen serpent "which when they, that were bitten looked upon, they were healed".
It is the Will of God that we cover this point again, a point which seem to elude many causing confusion and distrust in the Holy Scriptures as well as in the Catholic Faith - which is frequently labeled by the enemies of God as being idolatrous. This time we will also discuss the Biblical coherence regarding the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
It is quite clear what God instructed Moses about images (in Exodus 20:4):
But then, later on, God turns around and tells Moses (in Numbers 21:8-9):
Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the
earth.
But then, later on, God turns around and tells Moses (in Numbers 21:8-9):
Make a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall
live. Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were
bitten looked upon, they were healed.
What is going on? Obviously God did not forget what He originally commanded. Could it be a copyist
error?
It is none of the above. The answer appears in Exodus 20:5:
It is none of the above. The answer appears in Exodus 20:5:
Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: ("them" being what He listed in Exodus
20:4 above).
The problem does not lie in the "graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing"; the problem
lies in the fact that most humans sooner or later end up "adoring them and serving them".
That is exactly what most under Evangelized Catholics do - with Spain, and the former Spanish
colonies in the Americas, at the head of the list.
Therefore, Catholicism cannot be branded as an idolatrous religion. Improperly practiced Catholicism, under the guidance of certain profit minded clergy and hierarchy, has become, in many areas of the world, an idolatrous faith; a practice obviously rejected by God.
Just as we have pictures of our loved ones around our homes, we can certainly have as many images and likeness of Mary, Jesus and our favorite saint. In their case they serve not only as reminders, but as focal points for prayer. The moment those images and likeness of Mary, Jesus and our favorite saint become the object of our prayer - whether we are aware of it or not - we are practicing idolatry.
Do you now understand why the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is not idolatry - regardless of what even some Catholics claim? A Consecrated Host - the Eucharistc Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ - is not "a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth.", yet it is truly the physical manifestation of the Body, Blood and Divinity of Our Saviour and Him we are to Adore!
Let us never forget that God is perfectly coherent in all of His teachings.
Which brings us to..... the Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis, who was jailed for defying a federal court and would not issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.
What she should have done is resign from her position. We respect her position - as a matter of fact, we lost a long time close collaborator because we would not approve of his marriage to his male lover.
She is in a job/position which requires to act coherently with the approved civil laws. Didn't Jesus taught us that much?
Instead, she triggered a media circus which generated more anti Christian feeling in the US.

From (Mr.) S J @ US
We have corresponded in the past, and you have kindly taken the time to respond, and for that we are grateful. Things are moving so fast these days, that it is hard to keep up with all that speaks to prophecy unfolding at a heretofore unprecedented level.
We have studied Garabandal, and have to think that any day now, all of mankind will very personally have to confront their sins through the Warning, and be given the opportunity to ask forgiveness and be prepared for our Lord's coming again.
We and many others of course, have speculated on how to interpret "blindness" with respect to the death of Joey Lomangino, and what that portends for Conchita's words that he would see again, but wonder what your sense is. Also, how will the world hear Conchita's message, 8 days prior to the Warning?
With Francis on his way to Cuba as I write this, and his arrival in America next week, most of the world will fall to their feet in praise of this man, and the schism will be more evident than ever before. Pope Francis is the False Prophet who prepares the way for the Antichrist. I am convinced of this.
God Bless and Keep You,
S J
A. Thank you for your kind words and Blessings. It is good to hear from you again.
On August 19, 2010, we ublished the following Note in several of our Garabandal documents (1).
You may want to review our Garabandal Index Page (1) since you may find there additional information regarding this issue as well as the efforts by traditional Garabandal promoters to intoxicate the Garabandal events. We have an extensive collection of Garabandal books - with the originals in Spanish at the top of the list.
If we can be of further help on this matter, do not hesitate to ask. If it is in our power, we will gladly do so.

While on this subject..... The events which are taking place all over the world have reached such a level of debauchery, amorality and outright demonic behavior that if we had a doubt - which we did not - that we are going straight into a globally devastating chastisement it would have been completely dispelled.
As a matter of fact, we are awed by the Mercy of God because humanity's behavior does not deserve it, yet we gratefully accept it.
As an example, the following news story (1) has been brought to our attention:
In other words, we are assisting those swine [Matthew 8:32] acting subhuman creatures with training and money plus a blind eye to the most despicable behavior imaginable - even worse than abortion (2) - so that they can continue behaving in such way.
Such interaction immediately brought to mind the following warning from Jesus:
Our "pearls" are made up of our material resources plus the psychic of our soldiers, we have already identified the "dogs" and the "swine" and, as they have done in the past (remember bin Laden?), they will "turn upon you, ....tear you".
Now then, could anyone blame God for eradicating most of humanity from the face of the Earth?
The world has already been amply warned - there will be no other warnings. It is straight to the chastisement.

On August 19, 2010, we ublished the following Note in several of our Garabandal documents (1).
Please be advised that: The Warning , Miracle and Sign announced at the time of the Garabandal
phenomena at San Sebastián de Garabandal, Spain, between 1961 and 1965 may not
come to pass in the manner in which they were announced then.
There is a very real possibility that the world is heading, without further ado, directly into the Chastisement, which was announced in Garabandal and Akita (2), and which we have independently confirmed several times since 1992.
We do not intend to explain, justify, or “do theology” regarding this notification any further at this time. We do, however, encourage each and every one of you to act upon it as it were the proverbial "Gospel Truth" - you have nothing to lose by heeding this advise, but much to lose if it is ignored.
This announcement should in no way - directly or indirectly - cast a doubt on the events of Garabandal which, without a doubt, were real and from Heaven. However, all must remember the Sovereignty of God; a sovereignty which He freely exercises as He sees how His children react to His entreaties, and how those who were entrusted with the Evangelization of His children have acted (3).
We suggest that the guidelines on "What to do?" that we published long ago (4) be taken out from the "Hope (it doesn't happen) Chest" and followed, now.
For those to whom God made a special promise associated with the Miracle, we say: Don't despair! God will keep His Word; maybe not in the manner that you were expecting, but He will.
Since then - actually last Saturday - we found out the meaning of "...may not
come to pass in the manner in which they were announced then." in
regards to the Warning. We do not wish to go into those details now but be it known that the
modified/altered Warning vehicle has been in place for the last 17 years.There is a very real possibility that the world is heading, without further ado, directly into the Chastisement, which was announced in Garabandal and Akita (2), and which we have independently confirmed several times since 1992.

As an example, the following news story (1) has been brought to our attention:
U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies
In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.
"At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it," the Marine's father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. "My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture."
Rampant sexual abuse of children has long been a problem in Afghanistan, particularly among armed commanders who dominate much of the rural landscape and can bully the population. The practice is called bacha bazi, literally "boy play," and American soldiers and Marines have been instructed not to intervene — in some cases, not even when their Afghan allies have abused boys on military bases, according to interviews and court records.
The policy has endured as American forces have recruited and organized Afghan militias to help hold territory against the Taliban. But soldiers and Marines have been increasingly troubled that instead of weeding out pedophiles, the American military was arming them in some cases and placing them as the commanders of villages — and doing little when they began abusing children.

Such interaction immediately brought to mind the following warning from Jesus:
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps
they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. [Matthew
7:6]
Our "pearls" are made up of our material resources plus the psychic of our soldiers, we have already identified the "dogs" and the "swine" and, as they have done in the past (remember bin Laden?), they will "turn upon you, ....tear you".

From miguel de Portugal
We have been asked about our opinion regarding the practice of Yoga. Therefore, we will share with you our concerns, which may be circumvented once the potential problems are identified.
1. Yoga is used for relaxation purposes but so can Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and praying the Rosary. Therefore, with Yoga we would be substituting a spiritual mechanism to relax a body stressed out fundamentally by a soul in disorder with purely physical means.
Yoga will temporarily relax a body fundamentally stressed out by a soul in disorder, but that stress will come back again since its core source - a fundamental soul disorder - has not been corrected.
2. The essential component in practicing Yoga, according to the experts, is the meditation.
Meditation is a mental process involving focused attention, or calm awareness, which is also called mindfulness. Many forms or styles of meditation exist, but two basic approaches stand out: meditation with a specific focus and objectless meditation.
Beginners should start out with meditation on a specific object. The following categories of objects are suitable for this exercise:
A bodily sensation, such as breathing, which makes an excellent focus.
A bodily location, such as an energy center.
A process or action, such as eating, walking, or washing dishes.
An external physical object, such as the flame of a candle.
A mantra (be it a single sound, a phrase, or a chant).
A thought, such as the idea of peace, joy, love, or compassion.
The solution to the problem of stress caused by a fundamental spiritual disorder is what we will call Turbo Charged Yoga.
All you have to do is - just like with the Rosary and/or the Stations of the Cross - meditate on the Sacred Mysteries of our Faith. Meditate on the Holy Scriptures - take a different part every time. What about the readings for the the day's liturgy?
Also a mantra like: Hail Mary full of Grace or Lord have Mercy on us sinners or Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.... as juts a few examples.
If you approach Yoga in this manner much good, spiritual and then physical, will come from it and we would highly recommend it.
We will explain now in very worldly terms how the above works:

A thought, such as the idea of peace, joy, love, or compassion.
The solution to the problem of stress caused by a fundamental spiritual disorder is what we will call Turbo Charged Yoga.
All you have to do is - just like with the Rosary and/or the Stations of the Cross - meditate on the Sacred Mysteries of our Faith. Meditate on the Holy Scriptures - take a different part every time. What about the readings for the the day's liturgy?
Also a mantra like: Hail Mary full of Grace or Lord have Mercy on us sinners or Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.... as juts a few examples.
If you approach Yoga in this manner much good, spiritual and then physical, will come from it and we would highly recommend it.
We will explain now in very worldly terms how the above works:
(a) An individual has a serious nervous break down.
(b) Psychiatric treatment commences with an ample dosage of powerful tranquilizers, antidepressants, sleeping pills, etc.
(c) As the sessions progress the patient begins to regain calm and perspective and medication dosage is progressively reduced.
(d) Eventually the sessions are no longer necessary but the patient will probably require a small dosage of tranquilizers from then on.

(c) As the sessions progress the patient begins to regain calm and perspective and medication dosage is progressively reduced.
(d) Eventually the sessions are no longer necessary but the patient will probably require a small dosage of tranquilizers from then on.
As you may see, the patient's psyche has been brought back under control and he is functional again although a tiny bit of tranquilizers are needed to prevent a possible eventual collapse since the fundamental spiritual disorder has not been corrected.
And.... why do I "know", not "believe" but "know", the above? Because I was that patient 48 years ago and the initial collapse was massive!
When the sessions were no longer necessary, I inquired about how long I would have to take that post treatment small dosage of tranquilizers. The psychiatrist responded by asking me: "When do you expect not to need eyeglasses anymore?" Read: I was supposed to take post treatment small dosage of tranquilizer for life.
Then, 18 years later, that is, 30 years ago, God Graced me with a Flash conversion - and by Flash we mean instantaneous - no doubts as to Who God Is and that my only function in life was to serve Him and, everything else that I had held dear up that point, came second.
About two weeks after my conversion I started to feel drowsy most of the time - a state of over-relaxation. Then He pointed out to me that tranquilizers were no longer needed any more because He had healed me. I stopped taking them "cold turkey" - as the saying goes - and never again!
We had no plans to discuss what we just did when addressing the Yoga issue - actually, those memories seldom surface since they are part of a very full past which we seldom need to review. Obviously He had other plans and "gofers" just follow instructions.... just as I did.
It is our sincere desire that we have fully answered the original question as well as others that have not been made before.

On January 2014 we published a document (1) as a follow up to our initial Gamma Ray Burst (2) publication.

We have been made aware of an upcoming G2 Cloud encounter with our Galactic core. As a result
of that we published, for a select group of our readers, the following post:
The American Astronomical Society held several press conference meetings at its 223rd meeting
this month near Washington, DC. The January 7th press meeting addressed topics which
included the G2 Cloud encounter with the Galactic core.
Astronomer Leo Meyer expressed the consensus that the G2 cloud could reach its orbital pericenter in just a few months, hence supporting the estimates made by Phifer, et al. and Gillessen, et al. that this point would be reached around March 17th to April 1st, at which point the G2 cloud would be as close as 160 to 200 AU from the Galactic core.
Nothing spectacular seemed to followed the fly-by of the G2 cloud.... until NASA made us aware,
through a publication (3) dated September 23, 2015, that something did happen and no one know why
or if it is going to get worse. Quoting from NASA's document:Astronomer Leo Meyer expressed the consensus that the G2 cloud could reach its orbital pericenter in just a few months, hence supporting the estimates made by Phifer, et al. and Gillessen, et al. that this point would be reached around March 17th to April 1st, at which point the G2 cloud would be as close as 160 to 200 AU from the Galactic core.
Three orbiting X-ray space telescopes have detected an increased rate of X-ray flares from the
usually quiet giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy after new long-term
monitoring. Scientists are trying to learn whether.... these flares are triggered by the
recent close passage of a mysterious, dusty object (that is the G2 cloud).
The new study reveals that the supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy, also known
as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A* for short), has been producing one bright X-ray flare about every ten
days. However, within the past year, there has been a ten-fold increase in the rate of
bright flares from Sgr A*, at about one every day. This increase happened
soon after the close approach to Sgr A* by a mysterious object called G2.
“There isn't universal agreement on what G2 is,” said Mark Morris of the University of
California at Los Angeles. “However, the fact that Sgr A* became more active not long after G2
passed by suggests that the matter coming off of G2 might have caused an increase in the black
hole's feeding rate.”
“It's too soon to say for sure, but we will be keeping X-ray eyes on Sgr A* in the coming
months,” said co-author Barbara De Marco, also of Max Planck. “Hopefully, new observations
will tell us whether G2 is responsible for the changed behavior or if the new flaring is just part
of how the black hole behaves.”
An increase in the rate and brightness of bright flares from Sgr A* occurred after mid-2014,
several months after the closest approach of G2 to the huge black hole.
If the G2 explanation is correct, the spike in bright X-ray flares would be the first sign of
excess material falling onto the black hole because of the cloud's close passage.
Will this G2 cloud effect in the center of our Galaxy eventually generate the expected Gamma Ray
Burst? Only God knows what its source will be, but it is interesting to see that situations
continue to manifest themselves coherently with "the schedule and projection" of the events of the
End of These Times.
