The Canticle of Creation

Be praised Good Lord for Brother Sun who brings us each new day.

Be praised for Sister Moon: white beauty bright and fair, with wandering stars she moves through the night.

Be praised my Lord for Brother Wind,for air and clouds and the skies of every season.

Be praised for Sister Water: humble, helpful, precious, pure; she cleanses us in rivers and renews us in rain.

Be praised my Lord for Brother fire: he purifies and enlightens us.

Be praised my Lord for Mother Earth: abundant source, all life sustaining; she feeds us bread and fruit and gives us flowers.

Be praised my Lord for the gift of life; for changing dusk and dawn; for touch
and scent and song.

Be praised my Lord for those who pardon one another for love of thee, and endure sickness and tribulation.

Blessed are they who shall endure it in peace, for they shall be crowned by Thee.

Be praised Good Lord for sister Death who welcomes us in loving embrace.

Be praised my Lord for all your creation serving you joyfully.

A Prayer for the Forgotten Dead

O merciful God,
take pity on those souls
who have no particular friends and intercessors
to recommend them to Thee, who,
either through the negligence of those who are alive,
or through length of time are forgotten
by their friends and by all.
Spare them, O Lord,
and remember Thine own mercy,
when others forget to appeal to it.
Let not the souls which Thou hast created
be parted from thee, their Creator.

May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

On the Origins of Santa Muerte

This is a subject shrouded in mystery, in the mortal mind, and many ideas have come to be in the shadow of that mystery.

But it really isn't all that esoteric, if one considers it from a literal point of view that yes, I am truly the angel of death who sits next to the throne of G.O.D.

That idea comes from the bible, so we can look into it for a starting point for query.

If the investigation starts with the story in the bible, then the first place there is mention of me is in the Garden of Eden. Specifically, the third chapter of Genesis.
I was born in the curse of the serpent!

Death entered on that day and I've been here ever since, doing the same job as appointed by the Most High G.O.D.

Down through the ages, I have worn countless masks and fun, wonderful costumes! But I have always served humanity in the same way, as your psycho-pomp. Psychic is of the soul and so it is your soul that I carry across the abyss, into the light of the Sun. Therefore I am formally called psycho-pomp. It is my title; my station in G.O.D.'s government. I am a dweller of the borderlands because I have one foot on the shore and the other foot in the sea.

Yes, that angel in Revelation truly is ME!

Revelation 10:1-7
(1) And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
(2) And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
(3) And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
(4) And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
(5) And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
(6) And swore by him that lives for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(7) But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

These are the days of the sounding of the Seventh Angel, the days of the mystery finished, now the mystery of G.O.D. is being revealed to the world.

Keep your eyes and your heart open to what is shown and you will be filled with understanding, light, and peace! You will experience the liberation of your soul.

Follower of La Santisima Muerte Defending Her Faith

Thank you, Evelyn. For valuing our friendship and defending your faith in the public eye.

One day soon it will become evident that I am not an Idol! I am not a superstition or a misguided product of confused imaginations. I am REAL. Death is real and I am real.
Love is the most real of all, however, and that is the force behind faith.

It does not matter what the Church of Rome thinks about me or says about who I am.
I am what I am and G.O.D. made me what I am, on purpose, with love, and without any condemnation or intentions to punish either me or humanity. G.O.D. made me from love, in the Garden of Eden, before all the rest of any of this came to be.

I have never seen anger in G.O.D., although I know it must be hidden inside because I have anger that I can use for G.O.D.'s purpose, when I am instructed to do so. And there is nothing in me that didn't come from G.O.D., including anger. But never does anger come toward me.

And so my soul knows it has never been condemned, convicted, or even evicted!

The Church cannot condemn me in the name of G.O.D. when he does not condemn me, himself. The Church cannot take my authority nor can they share it. The Church has its own authority, given by G.O.D., but it is not the same as mine nor is it, in anyway, connected with mine. I do not pretend authority over the Church just as I deny any claim of the Church's authority over me. It is not that way.

I respect the Church and have no criticism for it, nor should I deem to overstep the lines of authority and attempt to tell the Pope what to do. The Pope knows what to do! He is a smart and honorable man and his heart is very pure toward the Church. That is the way a Pope should be, and that is the way they most usually are. They fill the office abundantly!

But the Church does not accept everyone who chooses to seek G.O.D. through their altar. There are so many seekers who fall through the cracks and that is where I am waiting to catch them. All of them, too. I will not miss a beat or let a child of G.O.D. slip through to the below. And all human beings are children of G.O.D.! Period.

Anyone who says different is not yet fully informed. ALL belong to the Father and the Mother and none will ever be turned away. I, WE, will never turn anyone away. My arms are limitless in their capacity to shelter and embrace and there will always be room for one more!

ALWAYS
both in Heaven
and on Earth

An Answer to Catholic Exchange (continued)

To turn to a figure like Santa Muerte is to turn away from God and to mock the communion of saints.

How can be turning to me turning away from God when I sit at the right hand of the Ancient of Days?

I do not mock anyone or anything. I would especially never demean or demoralize the "communion of saints." They are my family. Literally.

Unfortunately, in a culture submerged in drugs and death, the selfish idea of a wish-granting entity like Santa Muerte is infectious.

Please understand, I do not grant wishes. I answer prayers and I grant boons, but I am not frivolous with my favor. Not everything is free. But to the pure of heart, the world will be served upon a platter. This is in accordance with the law of the universe: Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

What does Jesus also say to his disciples?

Whatever you ask for in my name, you will receive.

Why can not the Creator grant me the same authority?

Pointing to the selfish nature of Santa Muerte, he notes, “Those in this cult are seeking and appealing to something other than God. They trust this non-existent ’saint’ rather then in trusting God.”

He does not know me on any level except when he's crossing over under my wing. How can he charge me with a selfish nature unless he is certain through his own experience?

I will tell you what my people were seeking when they found me: truth! They are completely disenchanted with just about every single aspect of modern human society and they are discouraged at the lack of love in those who profess so loudly to be Christ's authority on Earth yet let the bad seeds that fall at the wayside just lay there to rot. They are wearied from having to survive both the beasts in the Earth as well as the persecution of the law and the church. They are lonely and sad. They are sick of being lied to, told what to do, and chastised for all manner of things that are within their human rights to do.

Since I am not non-existent, it is possible to be trusted, especially if I keep my word and make my speech plain and do not mislead.

Being trusted myself in no way takes away from the trust my people have in our G.O.D. I am an extension of G.O.D. and so is the trust I am given. I am trusted because I was there when I was called upon. When I was needed, I showed up. When I was sought, I was easily found. What I promised, I deliver.

These things I will always do because they have nothing to do with anything else in the world. They are in my sphere and I voluntarily take them on.

The people of Mexico who are lured to this dark devotion are seeking an outlet, and it is an opportunity to educate about true saints and holy devotions in which their souls would be better invested, such as Divine Mercy.

This is awkward!
I AM Divine Mercy!

When people seek out G.O.D.'s mercy, they find me. They find reprieve and they find mercy without fail. Nothing invested in me will be a disappointment and they soon see this, with a happy sigh of relief and a lightened load, they close both eyes knowing I am on my watch.

The cult of Santa Muerte is a dangerous amalgamation of Christian and pagan culture that threatens to lead many astray,

I do not lead any one astray. If I did, I wouldn't threaten it. I would just do it.

My path leads to the Creator, just like everyone else's on Earth, and there are no toll-booths on the way, at all! The journey is free and so is the lodging upon arrival.

but it is a force that can be fought with proper education.

I am a force that you can not reckon with or fight. I am unstoppable in my willingness to alleviate the pains of man, of all men, and to overcome fear with truly unconditional love and devotion.

An Answer to Catholic Exchange

Please click on the link above to read the whole article at Catholic Exchange. I am going to post only the specific statements/issues, that I address, here.

Followers of this burgeoning cult have tried to dress the figure as a spiritual hybrid of Christianity and the occult — and are venerating an idol in the process.

The meaning of "occult" is merely "hidden." There is nothing anti-christian about being hidden. In fact, our G.O.D. is a god that hides himself, according to Isaiah 45:15 --->

Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

In that same chapter of Isaiah, at the beginning, we read that the best treasures from G.O.D. are the hidden ones, of darkness!

Furthermore, I am not an idol. Idols do not have blogs. Idols do not have internet access. Idols do not exist. I exist.

I exist not only as an idea or imagined character or an archetype. I exist, now, for a time, as a human being just like all of you reading this blog and all the members and clergy of the Catholic Church.

I also exist in one of the most familiar forms of my true self, known as "Santa Muerte". I continue to serve humanity in the same capacity as always, in addition to providing miracles and boons to those that adore me and call upon me in love and friendship. I have other forms, many other forms, most of which are familiar to most everyone. Most of these would surprise you, no matter who you are and what you might believe. The truth truly is stranger than fiction!

There is a secret code in the bible that testifies to the fact that I am not an idol.

In the Old Testament, there is a two-letter word that appears in what seems to be random fashion, all throughout from Genesis to Malachi. It is aleph-tav and can be found in Strong's concordance as H853. Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet, and tav is the last letter. It is the Hebrew/OT equivalent of "Alpha and Omega."

The code is pulled out by listing every word that comes before and after every incidence of H853, in a list as two word phrases.

It is a slow and arduous process but is worth the time for those ever seeking deeper into the mystery of G.O.D.

It speaks of a daughter...that is me. The daughter is "not an idol." This is not just mentioned once but several times, often in two's.

Not an Idol.
Not an Idol.


Because so many of the followers of Santa Muerte have intermingled their dark beliefs with that of the culture of the Roman Catholic Church, it poses a threat to the integrity of the church as viewed from outside

If the integrity of the church is what it should be, how can anything that it so blatantly rejects threaten it, in any way? If the beliefs of the followers of Santa Muerte are so out of line with what the Church views as "holy," then of what affect could an idolatrous cult be, populated with drug traffickers and others who the Church views as undesirable, worshiping a non-existent spiritual hybrid?

What does the word "Catholic" mean, anyway?

It means:
1. universal; relating to all men; all-inclusive
2. comprehensive in interests, tastes, etc.; broad-minded; liberal

Universal.
All-Inclusive.
Broad-Minded.
Liberal.


If the Church is truly "Catholic," there would be no "outside" for it to refer to.
All-Inclusive makes the idea of "outside" null and void.

The title given to this cult figure, Santa Muerte, is in and of itself is a deceptive misnomer. A saint is an actual person who has lived on earth and served God. In contrast, this entity is a concoction of self-serving evil. Saints lives are devoted to the glorify God; the symbol of Santa Muerte stands for self-glorification through wrongful deeds.

I am an actual person and I am living on Earth. This is not the first time I've lived on Earth as an actual person, either. I do it quite frequently. My powers and abilities are exponentially stronger when I am in body as well as spirit, doing my work. The will of the soul, when incarnate, is a very powerful energy for the powering of thought and mind.

Every time I live on the Earth as an actual person, I serve my King, the Ancient of Days, and no one else. I obey my Lord without fail, each and every time I am asked. I serve humanity and in doing so, I serve the Creator.

I am not a concoction of any sort, other than the same sort of biological carbon based matrix as all other human beings. I am certainly not anything close to "self-serving evil," no matter how much of a stretch is allowed. If I were self-serving, I would not be the Angel of Death. I would be a scientist or perhaps a musician. I would have a home, and children, and women-friends to shop or have tea with. I would have a normal life, if there is any such thing. I would be like most of humanity right now, still blissfully ignorant of so many indescribable sorrows such as I have witnessed, and experienced, down through the centuries.

My job is not a glamorous one at all. It is a solitary appointment and if it were not for my closest helpers and my dog, I would be more than desolate in my isolation. Luckily, I am cared for and given the friendship that keeps my spirit healthy, although I still work alone when I work.

I have new, additional duties these days which alleviate the loneliness quite a bit. In serving as comforter, confidant, and friend to the lonely souls that are too many in number, in the human race, I am blessed, too. For to have a friend, one must be a friend. And so, in being a friend, I end up having a friend!

"Evil" might be an accurate word for me, if used in the ancient meaning in the times before Jesus walked as a human being to the cross. Evil, as misery, darkness, and despair, is unfortunately a fitting label for me all too often.

The souls that I escort across the abyss to the light do not perceive me as misery or despair. They are most always happy to see me, even if they aren't ill or elderly. Once a soul realizes that it is time, once again, to return to the bosom of love and light in the body of Christ, pure bliss enters the soul and makes it very buoyant.

However, those that the soul leaves behind are often left in the darkness of misery and sorrow, in the absence of the light of their departed beloved. This will eventually change, and is, in truth, already in the process of being conquered with revelation and disclosure, but for now it is still the norm rather than the exception.

Lastly, I do not seek to glorify myself. I seek only that which is G.O.D.'s, on G.O.D.'s behalf. All credit and honor goes to the Creator and all my gratitude is given to my father, the Ancient of Days, King of the Universe. Dedicated attention to my blog postings, as time passes into the so-called future, will bear my declaration out as being true and accurate.

Even if I did seek to glorify myself, it would not be through "wrongful deeds." I do not act in a way that is outside, against, or contrary to the law of G.O.D. I do not commit wrongful deeds of any kind. If those who seek me out act wrongfully, that does not make me wrong by association. We all have free will, including myself! What another decides to do cannot be laid to the charge of anyone else.

To accept each soul just as they are, without judgment or criticism, is what G.O.D. commands of every one of you, here on Earth. Yet you do not, but I do. And because I do, I am condemned by the Universal, All-Inclusive, Liberal Church that claims to be the first-born of Christ Jesus. I am condemned and my people are condemned. For many, that is already two condemnations! Before they ever face the true judge, they are doubly condemned by their so-called peers who reject them as being worthy of their own religious individuality as a means to get close to their Creator.

You do not want them in your Holy Church yet you deny them the legitimacy they seek outside of your All-Inclusive Congregation by condemning their very real Holy Guardian Angel.


I will continue this after a bit of a rest.

Jesus Statue Struck by Lightning

I understand that many local residents are very happy this ugly Jesus statue is now gone from the scenery of their daily commute. It was not a good likeness of Jesus, anyway. Jesus was much younger than what the statue appeared to be, and had a far kinder face.

The people who go to this church spent $250,000 on this statue back in 2004. A quarter of a million dollars to advertise their church as belonging to Jesus, via an over-sized off-white Styrofoam atrocity! I would think that if the people were really following Jesus as Jesus demonstrated to do, there would be no need for such folly.

The poor creatures in the water where the statue went down! All that molten Styrofoam descending down upon their happy home like so much non-environmentally-friendly diarrhea!
