Soul Check     

Summary: Where the path of my feet is taking me, to heaven or to hell, is a soul check, as a Catholic, my conscience. This article is a review of the top three in person or Zoom Catholic outreach programs to bring in people.

My wife has been a bereavement minister since 2020. I go with her to almost all of her funeral Masses to support her.  And in supporting her I have found that at funeral Masses I learn more about life than at any other Mass. Many attendees have no clue to sit, stand or kneel. And less frequently the opposite is true. Everyone knows what to do. But every funeral Mass brings me great joy as God may be seen in the faith of the community.

A Catholic outreach to bring people into the church is clearly needed pre-bereavement. But what outreach? The top three Catholic outreach programs are Alpha, Theology on Tap, and Loquate (Speak!).

Adopted by some Catholic Parishes, the  Protestant born Alpha anecdotally rests on a structural belief of being saved. Profess by your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and believe that He is risen from the dead and you will be saved.

Alpha in a cycle meets weekly 7-10 times, is open at the start to any person. After a good catered meal and a video raising questions, 30 or so Alpha members break into their respective continuous same small group led by those who are instructed to say nothing, except to create a safe sharing space, as the Holy Spirit evangelizes from within each person.

Are your feet on the path to heaven or hell? Each decides this on their own.

One assistant’s testimony about the effectiveness of Alpha having gone through three 7 week cycles, asks is it Catholic? The assistant thinks not, because it is not structurally developmental. The assistant agrees an outreach is needed and finds good in Alpha but is looking at nearby Parishes who may offer something more structurally developmental.

Theology on Tap, another outreach relies on a good witness story of an organizer or a Pastor’s reflection and Q and A in a local popular restaurant bar with appetizers often paid for by the Parish. Connections are good but can go sour if differences of belief are discussed.  Care and tact are key. Theology on Tap is about as structurally developmental as Alpha.

Loquate, a charity for peace, helps organizations build community

Its “Work Meets Faith” Smart® group process is officially recommended to all Pastors by hierarchy of the Catholic Church as an outreach. Loquate’s turnkey builds Spirit-centered community structurally developmental at its core. Smart® small group community occurs in unity for all.

Scientifically discovered innate needs of mankind is the instrumental means universally applied thru Smart® habits that satisfy innate needs. Smart® habits are built thru a syllabus of courses called Domain Theory and implemented in each Smart® group on a 9 meeting cycle per year. Courses are marked Universal, Christian, and Catholic. If your faith persuasion is not listed you may skip that course. Most courses are universal. All are structurally developmental.

There are 3 Degrees of mentored certification as a  Smart® Ambassador of Community: 1st – 81 hours, 2nd -54 hours, and 3rd – 27 hours. All together three 9 meeting cycles may result in all 3 certifications. Feedback verifies Spirit-centeredness.

The Certification is offered without a pay incentive like free meals or hors d’oeuvres but is paid directly to participants by the Parish. The budget to the Parish is similar to other outreaches with this exception. The Parish pays nothing until Certification occurs.

The same Smart® Ambassadors of Community outreach is offered to employees of the Parish as well as to Parishioners. Everything employees do is done as a volunteer at their own pace and time, not at work.

The developmental structure is freedom to live your deepest beliefs in harmony with all. This alone brings peace on earth. Through its Smart® Ambassadors of Community, the Parish becomes a best place to work and the community becomes a best place to live.

Summary: Eye witness report.  Even some citizens of Moscow (“Muscovites”) experience deep economic distress. How can we get Bitcoin from their loved ones to them? Ukraine’s asylum for fleeing Russian conscripts could be a fruitful paradoxical twist.

Do not ask upon whose door the Muscovite is knocking. The Muscovite is knocking on your door.

When I first heard the story of Mary, a former Muscovite citizen (citizen of Moscow), I could not believe my ears. Then after I heard the story I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed that I was not doing more.

I know suffering. In my own family I suffered at the hands of those who were in power. I non-cooperated, non-violently. I succeeded. God came to my rescue. Read my case study.

Mary told me her true story. (I will generalize names and particulars to protect sensitivity to life and death.) Mary came to America from Russia many years ago, married, has children, and works at a good job in corporate America. Her husband is George a US citizen from birth who also works in corporate America.

When I heard Mary was from Russia, I tried to be most sensitive to her perspective on the war in Ukraine.

Others in her husband’s family call Mary their Princess. She has a most fair complexion, grace and dignity. Her answers are soft spoken but direct, straight to the point. Throughout the story I am about to reveal, she often had a slight smile of peace, grace and dignity on her face, what made her a princess in my eyes as well.

Mary was from Moscow. Her parents are in Moscow. Her greatest problem is getting money to her parents. Since the sanctions, Swift no longer works.

The need for me to help her parents rose with every word she spoke. Without ever being undignified, it was clear that Mary and George owned the problem. Conditions for her parents are most economically severe. If Muscovites have these problems, what about the rest of Russia? The economic hardship cannot be overcome because Mary and George cannot get money to Mary’s mom and dad.

I asked Mary’s view of the Ukraine conflict, trying to be sensitive to her perspective.

Mary said those in charge of the war are sending unprepared men to the front and the men even have to pay for their own supplies. They see now that supplies and military preparedness are non-existent. The graft has been so widespread in Russia that the disorganization that occurred in the beginning of the war continues. It was and is real. Before Ukraine, people had a belief in their military. George said now the men going to the front are given rations to eat that are 20 years old.

Mary said the Russian people believed they had a capable army before graft stole it.

I asked Mary why people in Russia do not rise up. Repression is everywhere. According to Aljazeera since Mar 2, 2022  ‘special military operation’ should be used to describe Moscow’s assault on Ukraine, according to Russian officials. Russians cannot speak publicly except with sanctioned rhetoric. For example if they spoke the word “war” in connection with Ukraine they could face a 10 year jail sentence.

So this enforced rhetoric is an entombment of silence. Good reporters had to leave the country or face jail. A good reporter provides objective, contextual truth. Social media is repressed.

Then Mary said: “My brother is a man without a country. Russian conscriptors are looking for him now. He had to take a circuitous route to leave Russia, or face almost certain death at the front in Ukraine. Her brother has become a person without asylum anywhere.

Then George told me about the plight of a long time housekeeper from Mariupol, Ukraine. Over many years she bought two apartment buildings in Mariupol on her housekeeper pay in America. Both buildings have been destroyed by the war.

George said the housekeeper hoped to get a little income each month from Mariupol. Now the housekeeper has nothing.

I asked George where he gets his hope. George said I am an American. My childhood stories are not like Russian stories of children being eaten. And he shrugged his shoulders as if to say “I want to do more, I don’t know what else to do.”

Mary interjected that even if Putin were gone there are many behind him, who are just like him. I wonder about Mary’s comment.  Many ordinary people are resigned that nothing will change. When an ordinary person rises up politically, like the one they poisoned, and then put in jail, how long must the world wait to free him? But, if the motivation of Putin’s inner circle is only profit, why wouldn’t the inner circle leave when it is no longer profitable to stay. To say nothing of facing war crimes.

Then I expressed myself: “I have a charity, Loquate that supports human rights.” Mary quickly said “There are no human rights in Russia.”

I turned to Mary and said “I will pray for your parents.” Mary’s look was one of true compassion and gratitude. Her words were “thank you,” as her body language showed deep collapsing interior repose. I had struck a chord she understood.

I said “I am embarrassed I am not doing more.”

I continued: “Let me tell you where my hope lies. I am a Roman Catholic. I believe that the Blessed Mother, the woman clothed with the sun, and Mother of Jesus, will biblically crush the head of the snake Satan thru her intercession to God on behalf of suffering little ones. My own country and the world has lost so many spiritual values, it has many, many suffering little ones.

I continued: “I live in a protective bubble of community. God is all powerful. Today I am seeing Miracles, First Hand. I believe the Second Pentecost is upon us.”

I believe that the time of one thousand years of peace has come upon suffering little ones, the Blessed Mother’s cohort.

Let me tell you how we can get asylum for Mary’s brother so he cannot be sent to the war in Ukraine’s front. Let Ukraine grant him, and all like him, asylum. Let these angels work for peace in Kyiv. Let their peace seeking be world peace seeking. Let them encourage all right thinking men to uphold basic human rights by non-cooperating, non-violently.

My only question now is will I help?  To my readers I beg you to tell me how we can send bitcoin from George and Mary to Mary’s parents in Moscow.

Summary: The rainbow warriors are those children and young people of today who will save the world. By learning in Natural Law old ways of indigenous peoples they will save the earth. The rainbow warrior prophecy is fulfilled in domain theory. Ambassadors of community embrace Natural Law. Ambassadors of community include Rainbow Warriors.

Prime Minister Modi of India said to Putin “Now is not the time for war.”

As Russia annexes territory in Ukraine, according to CNBC on 9/25/22: “Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons if Moscow deems it necessary, and if it deems its territory is under threat from conventional weapons.”

Putin’s collapse is likely, for world economic sanctions will crush Russia, and a regime change away from Putin may occur in time.

I am on my point of land at Bond Lake. I feel Your peace. The rainbow warriors begin their work earnestly now. The rainbow warriors are those children and young people of today who will save the world. By learning in Natural Law old ways of indigenous peoples they will save the earth. For this I pray.

The rainbow warrior prophecy is fulfilled in domain theory. Ambassadors of community embrace Natural Law. Smart® group ambassadors of community include Rainbow Warriors. Amen.

My Smart® group meeting last night was indescribably good. Domain Theory – is a hit. I walk my point of land on Bond Lake in Your peace. Jose Vizcarrondo’s prophecy is fulfilled as I walk. Jose described his prophetic vison of a war party on a thousand horses thundering thru my home and point of land. Their sachems at the head of the war party were like two horns on a bull. They counted coup right and left. But every person struck, their coup sticks brought a coup of peace. The war party of peace has arrived.

Our white pines numbering about 80 that we planted over 20 years ago are doing well. The white pine is a sign of peace. I need to trim other species back that the white pine might flourish in the sun. The standing dead trees are home to many.

As a child I used to notice waves on the lake and read sign. So too now. The calm lake with a little ripple is so telling and beautiful. Everyone says so. As a little boy I walked this very point path I am now on. Father God, You knew then. Your mystery is eternal. So wondrous. So beautiful. In Nature. Your first home. I just called in 5 crows. They flew over my head. The maple leaves are turning color. The kingbird is calling. The squirrel is scolding. The weather is crisp, clear and sunny. I know now. Your abundance is never ending.

Peace on Earth

May the memory of Queen Elizabeth II never leave behind her soft power, and instead may it lead us to sustainable peace worldwide. According to CNBC 9/12/22:

“She was a powerful, unifying force, a source of comfort and resilience to millions of people from all walks of life. On behalf of the United States, I extend our deepest condolences to our British friends, to the government of the United Kingdom and to the royal family,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg took a moment to honor Queen Elizabeth II’s reign ahead of their meeting with Blinken about the ongoing war in Ukraine. Her reign of over 70 years was the longest of any British monarch. When World War II broke out in 1939, Princess Elizabeth was only 13 years old. She was 18 when she joined the Army and 25 when she was crowned Queen of England. She was the epitome of soft power.

Force is not the answer. Submitting to the will of God is the answer. As Ukraine suffers it has received aid from the West. By 9/11/22, Ukraine had recaptured nearly 400 square miles of territory (increased on 9/12/22 to “around 1,158 square miles) ; rebuilding Ukraine would cost an estimated $349 billion according to CNBC.

“Today the NATO flag and the flags of 30 allies are at half mast to honor her majesty Queen Elizabeth the second,” Stoltenberg said alongside Blinken in Brussels. “She was a strong supporter of the transatlantic alliance of our armed forces and our values. She knew and worked with all NATO Secretary Generals since the founding of NATO.

A price cap on the importation of Russian oil is being explored by a broad coalition to reduce Russia’s capability to fund its war against Ukraine. G-7 countries are still trying to recruit more countries to join their efforts. They aim to restrict the amount of revenue the Kremlin receives, but keep Russian oil on the market to avoid supply disruptions. Non violence non cooperation sanctions on Russia are taking their toll. We pray to God for mercy and forgiveness. May the memory of Queen Elizabeth II never leave behind her soft power, and instead may it lead us to sustainable peace worldwide!
