~ WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW SUCH GREAT JOY ~ From Metropolitan Archbishop Paul, S.S.B. To every Priest in the world: On June 25, 2008, while I was purchasing a few items at the store (while, as is my custom, wearing clerical collar), an extremely thin, very elderly lady in a wheel chair waited in an aisle talking with a younger man and woman who accompanied her. page 1

THE PAGAN HOLY SPIRIT and a father’s responsibility Whether He is named Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, or Paraclete, He is one of the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity Which is, and each of Which is, God, there being but one God. The Godless constantly attack God the Father especially in advertisement and entertainment which portray fathers, daddies, husbands, and males, as being incompetent  . . . But the attacks by the Godless upon the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, attempt to completely eliminate Him; and to replace Him with that which does not Text Box: exist. page 1

THE CROSS IS OUR LIFEBOAT AND OUR SKIN The Tree of the Cross is the Ark of the New Covenant. The Ark of the old covenant with Moses was wood covered with gold. The Ark of the New Covenant is the Tree of the Cross covered with and soaked with the Body and Blood of Christ. page 1

THE CAUSE OF MEANNESS, INDECENCY, AND RAUNCH One of the characteristics of Saints Peter and Paul, of the Twelve Holy Apostles, the other Apostles and Disciples, indeed of humankind in general with a few stark, glaring, and hideous exceptions - one of their most prominent characteristics is decency. page 1

THE WORLDLY TWIST MEANINGS AND USE THOSE TWISTINGS TO FOSTER DISRESPECT OF THE EVER VIRGIN MOTHER OF GOD The worldly people twist meanings, attempting to corrupt what is meant into falsehood; and then attempt to have the falsehood accepted as truth. We see this in the news organizations’ so called Text Box: reporting of preparations to canonize Pope John Paul II. The news organizations state the Roman Church is preparing to make John Paul II a saint. That statement is parallel to the truth, but it is not the truth. No part of the Church makes a person a saint. God and that person make the person a saint. page 1

IS EACH OF US A  CONFUSION,  OR,  ARE WE AT WAR? In a certain sense it is very proper for us to consider ourselves each, to be what we do and also to do what we are.  Stated simply: We do what we are and we are what we do. We are the good things we do and we are the sins we commit. In the same sense our value is set in the value of what we do . . . So, in a certain sense, a police officer who takes a twenty dollar bribe to not issue a ticket to a speeding motorist is worth twenty dollars, as is the speeding motorist. page 1

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO JUST DO NOT CARE ABOUT GOD There are some people who just do not care about God. They do not necessarily believe or not believe in Text Box: Text Box: FIRST CLASS MAIL
Text Box: Saying something does not make it so. Wanting something to be does not make it so. Believing something without a valid foundation for that belief does not make it so. Say, “I have 100 pounds of gold in my pocket;” really want and desire that 100 pounds of gold to be there; and believe it is there. Now look. Any gold? Nope. It is the same with grace, with God’s essence. One must work with God to acquire God, often in a manner similar to mining gold. Often a little “smeltering” must accompany or follow the mining, to purify what is obtained.
