Soul Check

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.

Rainbow Warriors – a Prophecy Fulfilled!


By: Jeff Liautaud on September 28, 2022 | Filed in: Community

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.

Our work: Loquate is a charitable center for peace on earth.

What we do: Loquate’s Domain Theory is lived out in Smart® groups that predict the power of sustainable living for all mankind through Natural Law, not religious or ideological political spend agendas of governments.

Who we are: We are people like you who become Smart® Ambassadors of Spirit-centered Community.

Our goal: We uphold basic human rights. The power of the individual is supported and sovereign. May God bless the world with 1,000 years of peace. For this we pray!
