From DS @ Ireland

Q.  Thank you for your the swift reply on your website to my query in relation to John Paul II, last pope of the present era, etc. Having read your response to several e-mails on The M+G+R Foundation Public Forum, it would seem that John Paul II was not pope when he died.

God has therefore decided to remove this 'position' from human hands, therefore Benedict XVI is historically an elected pope by the College of Cardinals but not chosen by God as a successor of Peter. Correct me if I'm mistaken about the above, it certainly is difficult to fully comprehend the nature of events that have transpired, as always of course I pray that God blesses you in your work.

May you continue to do God's Will,

DS


A. [DS is referring to our posting of April 30th] Brethren, we have posted the above letter to illustrate what we mean when we state - "May those who have Eyes, See, and Ears, Hear". This writer, has been Blessed with both.





From DM @ USA

Q.  Are there any prophesies for the year 2005 for the world and for the United States?

DM


A. If we knew something specific - we would not announce it, as we have stated elsewhere. Why? The complete answer is quite complex and beyond the comprehension of most - just as is the interaction between Time and Eternity. However, a more practical answer may be found in why should man not know, with precision, what the future has reserved for him. As we pointed out in Divination and Miraculous Healings ...But, What About God? utilizing the First Book of Samuel, Chapter 28.

It is not the Will of God that mankind know such information unless He Will specifically that some particular individual(s) do so to be used in accordance to His Plan and for His Honor and Glory. We have learned that lesson the hard (but merciful) way.

Even miguel de Portugal prays as follows: "Lord, I do not need to know dates or specifics of events, unless it is your Will that I do. What I want is to get accomplished all that You want me to get accomplished in the manner, order and timetable that You Will it to be."

This should be a prayer of all mankind so that it prepares itself for what is to come.

We have repeatedly stressed the importance of being in tune with the Holy Spirit of God and be ready as the five wise virgins of Jesus' parable. As the world sinks in the darkness and deceit, only the "silent" prompting of the Holy Ghost will be our safe and secure "Navigator" until the End of These Times.





From ARA @ Mexico

Q.  While reading the document "On Defense of His Holiness John Paul II" a question arose in my mind. Is The Neocatechumenal Way something wrong within our Catholic Faith?

This question is very important to me since I have a very good friend, who is a priest, and who has been part of said movement for many years. A number of times he has insisted that my wife and I join the movement. I have never felt comfortable with it. Nothing that he tells me about it "clicks right" within me - I do not know exactly what it is but that "feeling that is right" is absent.

A. We have repeatedly stressed the importance of being in tune with the Holy Spirit of God more than with any one individual or movement. As the world sinks in the darkness and deceit, only the "silent" prompting of the Holy Ghost will be our safe and secure "Navigator" until the End of These Times.

Obviously your "Navigator" is working quite well. There is only one way - the Way of Jesus Christ as set forth in the Holy Scriptures - Old and New Testament. We do not not need Escriva's Way, we do not need Kiko's Way, we do not need the Legionnaires of Christ's Way, we do not need the Marian Movement of Priests' Way, nor any and all other Ways who try to preempt the only one way - Jesus Christ!

H.H. John Paul II, may his soul rest in peace, was tricked into approving movements about which he obviously knew very little and now we are beginning to see the sad and destructive fall out as they all try to Save the World and the Church to the exclusion of others.

We will soon write extensively about the pathetic show that is being staged at The Vatican now while the different sects allowed, by default, by John Paul II try to carve out a piece of the "Holy Pie". May God have Mercy on them - we assure you - they will need it!

Mr. A, we thank you for this fine opportunity that you have given us to address this very critical issue. May God continue to Bless you with the Guiding Light of His Holy Spirit.





From KR @ USA

Q.  Please correct me if I am wrong. Did I not read in your domain somewhere that you recommended the film "Jesus" a lions gate film to be the most biblically accurate? I've been searching and cannot find the recommendation. Well, to get to the point, I watched the first 15 min. of it and had to turn it off, as I got ill watching Jesus and Mary (Martha's sister flirting with each other). Then to make matters worse Mary Magdalene is shown nude getting out of bed as I watched with my 6 year old son. I had to turn it off. Please tell me your site is not the one that suggested that film.

One more question please. If miguel de Portugal thinks Mel Gibson's "The Passion" is based on fanaticism then he must think that St. Anne Catherine Emmerich's book is based on the same? Just curious.

From a catholic that has seen what has happened to the church and attends mass or mess on Sunday only to pray silently through the whole thing and make reparation for the disrespect shown our Lord during mass or mess.

KR


A. First of all - Thank you for writing and giving us the opportunity to clarify some points. Yes, we have recommended such film but the recommendation seems to have been made to a limited audience. Obviously we were not clear enough about certain aspects of the film, which we will now attempt to correct.

(a) The film is not the most biblically accurate film on the life of Jesus - it is the one that better portrays the real Jesus. The most biblically accurate film on Jesus is the one which Campus Crusade has had translated into many languages and shown to hundreds of millions of viewers. The Campus Crusade film adheres to the Gospel according to Luke as close as it is possible. (*)

(b) Jesus was a human in all but sin. We did not see as offensive the alleged flirting of Jesus with Mary (Martha's sister). Jesus, in His humanity, could have very well been attracted to Martha's sister - that is not a sin, otherwise God would not have made humans to naturally respond that way. What may be a sin is how a man or woman respond to that natural human and not non sinful trait. Neither Martha's sister nor Jesus acted in manner that would even come close to sinfulness. On the contrary - if there was such a normal attraction between them - their choices to not follow through Glorified God.

(c) The Mary Mary Magdalene scene - we would have toned it down a bit. It was necessary to get across well her sinful way of life but it could have certainly been toned down. However, being unexpectedly thrust upon such scene - which by today's world standards it is not too off color for most 6 year old children - could have been used as a good Evangelization opportunity which would have left a positive impression in the child. God is indeed more powerful that evil but we have to bring Him in.

Having said all of that and acknowledging the rough edges of the scene - spiritually and psychologically speaking, said scene was a drop of water when compared to the bucket full of water characterized by the sadomasochistic orgy staged by Mel Gibson in his film.

(d) Regarding Anne Catherine Emmerich "vision" or "illumination" about the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ (or any similar individual experiences) - we discourage focusing upon such documents/books/revelations since, because human nature response, they will cause such revelations to pre-empt the Holy Scriptures. On the other hand - we encourage writings like those of St. Faustina and St. Gertrude from which much can be learned of the relationship God would like to have with each one of His children but, generally, do not pre-empt the Holy Scriptures.

We Praise God that you are among "...a catholic that has seen what has happened to the church and attends mass or mess on Sunday only to pray silently through the whole thing and make reparation for the disrespect shown our Lord during mass or mess." If more of the Faithful would have done so, the suffering that awaits humanity would have been reduced even further. Please encourage everyone to do the same as you do, and we encourage you to specifically offer the suffering you experience when witnessing such disrespect and chaos as an act of consolation to Our Lord and Our Lady - They greatly appreciate this.





From R & K @ USA

Q.  Thank you for all of your recent writings and messages to share with all the wandering/wondering souls. Many times I do not have the enlightenment to appreciate all that you say and share. Other times, the "light bulb" goes on. That is okay with me. You told me not to pray for anything more, spiritually, than God has in store for me right now, and I have decided to accept that. I will continue to read, and to say my small prayers through it all. I just have to trust that, when the time is right, I will be able to fulfill what the Lord wants of me.

I have decided to quit watching most of the news shows that I used to watch. I try to read the paper with discernment, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me to the stories that might be of significance. I don't want to be in denial, nor do I want to be spoon-fed a bunch of nonsense. I am not sure which is right...I just don't have much taste for the cable/network news any longer. I think it concentrates too much on fluff stories, while there is so much more to be concerned about that it almost appears to be an intentional distraction.

K


A. There are two issues of universal interest in the above communication that we wish to address:

(a)  You state: "You told me not to pray for anything more, spiritually, than God has in store for me right now, and I have decided to accept that." We are pleased to hear that. That is exactly what miguel de Portugal does - in spite of the tremendous amount of information that God deems to transmit to him on an almost ongoing basis. miguel takes such position to the extreme of praying thus: "Lord, I do not need to know dates or specifics of events, unless it is your Will that I do. What I want is to get accomplished all that You want me to get accomplished in the manner, order and timetable that You Will it to be."

That is a daily and heartfelt prayer; after all, who needs to care about anything else if each one of us strive to allow Him to freely work through each one of us?

(b)  You state: "I have decided to quit watching most of the news shows..." This we also strongly recommend to everyone and something that m de Portugal also practices even though he now has 24 hr access to the key cable news - US and European - plus the Internet, of course. For the same reasons you state plus others as may be read in the Board and News Commentary postings of May 12th. To those reasons one may add the subliminal brainwashing which is ongoing via certain television stations/programs.

This is not denial; on the contrary - this is acknowledging, accepting and working within the reality that we are living through today.





From "Kirk" @ USA

Regarding our choice of utilizing "Kirk's" letter in a recent document, as part of his response authorizing us to utilize it in full he wrote:

Q.  It amazes me that your perception of my letter was as such... I still struggle with the "Why Me?" at times... and this is certainly one of those times.

"Kirk"


A. First of all, said document has had tremendous circulation and most constructive feedback. So much so that yet another document was born from said feedback.

Regarding the "Why Me?" syndrome... The "Why Me?" syndrome is "a plant" from satan to lead man to undervalue himself as a tool for God.

Another manifestation of this "plant" we have lifted from a recent letter that will be published at a letter time: "I felt I should be praying for the world and the conversion of sinners – myself included . A grandiose intention – who am I that my prayer could do much?"

It IS God Who decides all of this and the Only One Who grants the requests. The only "Who is..." question that is truly valid would be: "Who is man to question the Divine Designs?"

Did God need the Army Corps of Engineers to part the Red Sea? No. It took only one man, who God chose "just because" and who, as an act of his free will, chose to respond to God's call.

It is that simple? Who is miguel de Portugal ? The same story - and you (and 99.99999% of those who have heard of m de P) do not have the slightest idea of how, and for what, God has used m de P to change in this world - which is what we keep referring to as "the main function of m de P".

Just relax and enjoy every time that God chooses to utilize you. Just make sure that it is Him and not satan playing a trick through your ego. All of us, m de P included, are exposed to that threat - but true humility will protect us from such snare.





From JM @ USA

Q. This past April 11, I had a dream that actually felt like a visit from Pope John Paul II.


JM


A. The above posting is not the norm for our Public Forum but because circumstances about which LM knew nothing about, the timing of receipt of the above communication and the fact that, if it had been miguel de Portugal instead of H.H. John Paul II who had appeared to LM after his death, the statement would have been exactly the same, we chose to publish it.

Among the teachings of H.H. John Paul II was the tremendous importance of praying the Rosary.





From Various @ Worldwide

Q. The following is a "composite question" from several recent e-contacts with The M+G+R Foundation regarding Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's election at the final conclave..

You said that he was the last legitimate pope of our time. How would that tie in with Benedict XVI? There is no doubt that Satan has infiltrated the hearts and minds of a great many people in the Church, including those given the great responsibility of governing it. But this man like you have said after your trip to the Vatican was selected 'by the active will of God', so this would surely indicate that he is a legitimate successor to John Paul II.

In accordance to what you wrote, is Joseph Ratzinger an impostor?

Could our new Pope be a False Prophet, elected to the throne by the Illuminati?

Studying what you wrote about the active and passive Will of God, it would seem to me that the Active Will of God wills for what is perfect. God would not will for a pope who is not the true successor of Peter, or who is the “antichrist”- WOULD HE? Jesus did not will for Judas to betray Him.

I would feel better if on some points that did not turn out to be exactly as you claimed they would be, according to you private revelation, you would acknowledge you were mistaken. Somehow I don't think that will happen because I see many times that you explain it by saying that you already knew it and God used it to show something, etc.

Various


A. We understand that many issues are hard to understand/comprehend. We strongly suggest that the moment anyone encounters such difficulty, even after seeking the Illumination of the Holy Spirit of God, it would be best to "drop it" and focus your attention on prayer and acts of reparation.

The fact that in the last election the Active Will of God was fulfilled, does not make either Cardinal Ratzinger a bad or undesirable man nor it takes away the reality that Karol Wojtyla was originally elected as the last Pope.

About this we will only clarify as follows: As we have have stated elsewhere openly or hinted through the usage of veiled terminology - Karol Wojtyla was elected as Pope John Paul II, however, that does not mean that when he died he was still the Pope.

Man cannot supersede God's Will by performing this or that prescribed ritual. God always has the Last Word and when men abuse His Goodness He will do whatever is necessary to protect His children and confound the enemy. As we have pointed out before - towards the end of the Papal sequence, there was going to be one last true successor of Peter and one more historical Pope.

Jesus Christ - as God and as man - through His Active Will appointed Judas Iscariot as an Apostle, even though He knew that Judas was going to betray Him.

As an act of charity, we will comment upon the outright accusation that if miguel de Portugal were to make a mistake (which he does - after all, not even Peter was infallible all the time [Galatians 2: 11-21]) he would not admit it.

One glaring example of the banality of such accusation may be found in an official letter, which was sent worldwide to scientific centers via regular air mail, acknowledging having made a prediction without the appropriate permission from God - a prediction which, of course was wrong because there was a change of plans.

God in His Merciful Goodness salvaged m de P's credibility before such a large scientific forum through an astronomical event that is described in the letter. That did not make the error less - it just made us better appreciate the Loyalty, Support and Mercy of God toward those who leave a life, as few have ever experienced, to follow Him - no questions asked.

Lastly - we want everyone to keep very clear in mind a section from m de P's brief biography:


Unless God Wills otherwise - we consider this case closed lest we fall in an old and well used trap used by satan and which, through the Grace of God, we have learned to recognize soon.
