Twenty-Third Sunday After Pentecost

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year REMARK If from Pentecost until Advent there be only twenty-three Sundays, the following one is omitted, and the Mass of the twenty-fourth is said. The Introit of the Mass consoles and incites us to confidence in God who is so benevolent towards us, and will not let us pine away in tribulation. The Lord saith: I think thoughts of peace, and not of affliction: you shall call upon me, and I will hear you: and I will bring back your captivity from all places. (Fer. XXIX. 11. 12. 14.) Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. (Ps. LXXXIV.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. COLLECT Absolve, we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, Thy people from their offences: that through Thy bountiful goodness we may be freed from the bonds of those sins which through our frailty we have contracted. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen. EPISTLE (Philipp. III 17-21.: IV, 1-3.) Brethren, Be followers of me, and observe them who walk so as you have our model. For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself. Therefore, my dearly beloved brethren, and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of one mind in the Lord. And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have labored with me in the gospel with Clement and the rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life. EXPLANATION There are unhappily many Christians, who, as St. Paul complains, are, declared enemies of Christ's cross, who do not wish to mortify their senses, who only think of gratifying their lusts, and, as it were, find their only pleasure, even seek their honor, in despising the followers of Jesus and His saints on the narrow path of the cross, of mortification and humiliation. What will be the end of these people? Eternal perdition! For he who does not crucify the flesh, does not belong to Christ. (Gal. V. 24.) He who does not bear the-marks of the mortification of Jesus in his body, in him the life of Christ shall not be manifested. (II Cor. IV. 10.) He who does not walk in heaven during his, life-time, that is, who does not direct his thoughts and desires heavenward, and despise the world and its vanities, will not find admission there after his death. ASPIRATION Would to God , I could say with St. Paul: The world is crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. VI. 14.) GOSPEL (Matt. IX. 18-26.) At that time, As Jesus was speaking to the multitudes, behold, a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord , my daughter is even now dead: but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman, who was troubled with an 'issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the. minstrels and the multitude making a tumult, he said: Give place: for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country. INSTRUCTIONS I. Filial was the faith, unbounded the confidence, profound the humility of this woman, and therefore, she received health also. Learn from this, how pleasing to the Lord is faith, confidence and humility; let your prayer always be penetrated by these three virtues, and you will receive whatever you ask. II. The devout Louis de Ponte compares the conduct of this woman to our conduct at holy Communion, and says: Christ wished to remain with us in the most holy Eucharist, clothed with the garment of the sacramental species of bread, that he who receives His sacred flesh and blood,  may be freed from evil concupiscence. If you wish to obtain the health of your soul, as did this woman the health of the body, imitate her. Receive the flesh and blood of Jesus with the most profound humility, with the firmest confidence in His power and goodness, and like this woman you too will be made whole. III. Jesus called three dead persons to life, the twelve year old daughter of Jairus, ruler of the synagogue, of whom there is mention made in this gospel, the young man at Naim, (Luke VII. 14.) and Lazarus. (John. XI- 43.) By these three dead persons three classes of sinners may be understood: the maiden signifies those who sin in their youth through weakness and frailty, but touched by the grace of God, perceive their fall and easily rise again through penance; by the young man at Naim those are to be understood who sin repeatedly and in public, these require greater grace, more labor and severer penance; by Lazarus, the public and obdurate habitual sinners are to be understood who can be raised to spiritual life only by extraordinary graces and severe public penance. IV. Christ did not raise the maiden, until the minstrels and noisy multitude were removed, by which He wished to teach us that the conversion of a soul cannot be accomplished in the midst of the noise and turmoil of temporal cares, idle pleasures and associations. INSTRUCTION CONCERNING RIDICULE AND DERISION And they laughed him to scorn. (Matt IX. 24.) When Jesus told the minstrels and the crowd that the girl was not dead, but sleeping, they laughed at Him, because they understood not the meaning of His words. Sensual-minded men generally act in the same manner towards the priests and ministers of God, who by their word and example admonish them to despise honors, riches and pleasures, and to embrace the love of poverty, humility and mortification. This is, an unintelligible and hateful language to them which they ridicule and mock just as they do when they hear that death is a sleep, from which we shall one day awake and be obliged to appear before the judgment-seat of God. Woe to such scoffers by whose ridicule so many souls are led from the path "of virtue! What the devil formerly, accomplished by tyrants in estranging men from God and a lively faith in Him and His Church, he seems to wish to accomplish in our days by the mockery, scoffs, and blasphemies of wicked men; for at no period have piety and virtue, holy simplicity and childlike faith, adherence to the holy Roman Church and her laws, reverence for her head, her ministers and priests, been more mocked, derided and blasphemed. Unhappily many permit themselves to be induced by mockery to abandon piety, to omit the public practice of their faith, to conceal their Catholic conviction, and to lead a lukewarm, careless, indeed, sinful life. Woe to the scoffers! they are an abomination to the Lord (Prov. III. 32.) who will one day require from their hands all the souls perverted by them. Do not permit yourself to be led astray by those who ridicule your faith and zeal for virtue; remember the words of Jesus: He that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. (Matt. X. 33.) Let Jesus be your consolation, He was scoffed and blasphemed for your sake, and often say within yourself: I know, my most amiable Jesus, that the servant cannot be more than his master. Since Thou wert so often sneered at, mocked and blasphemed, why should I wonder if I am derided for my faith in Thee and Thy Church, and for the practice of virtue!

The World Fulcrum

By Anna Von Reitz

A critical moment in our history has come--- the moment when the pendulum hits the zenith of its arc and swings backward. 

This is known as "the World Fulcrum" because it is at this point in both space and time that energy forces reverse.  This reversal can happen on a world scale, a regional scale, a national scale, a local scale, or an individual scale.  It is also called the "Moment of Change" when potential energy is converted into active motion, and when, potentially, new pathways can be chosen.

The actual occasion for the end of the arc came this week with the collapse of Bolivia's Socialist Government.  

Luis Fernando Comacho had had enough.  

He left his home in Santa Cruz and walked all the way to La Paz.  

He carried his Bible and a Letter of Resignation for Socialist President Evo Morales. 

When he got to La Paz, he entered the Government Palace and knelt in prayer. 

The Bolivian military and police forced President Morales to flee to Mexico.  

And that was it.  The quiet triumph of truth over falsehood. 

You didn't see any big announcements about this in the newspapers, did you?  

Yet, the miracle came.  It came just the same, like Christmas in Whoville. 

The True Church rose up in Luis Fernando, and he walked every step of the way.  

Thus, one of two Socialist Governments in South America collapsed, peacefully, and we see the pendulum hit the top of its arc, pause, and begin the return arc.  

The question for all of us, is why should we continue to deal in pendulum swings at all?  Why not awaken to new possibilities?  

We do not have to waver between heights of impractical liberal insanity and oppressive Fascist hypocrisy, when what is needed for our joy and our progress is a steady, peaceful, middle ground. 

Let this be a moment when we rejoice in what one man and an act of faith can do, and also a time to think about why this is true and has always been true.  We each have this power within us, to change ourselves and to change our world. 

Let's not wait another moment to do so.

Urgent Alert from The Living Law Firm

By Anna Von Reitz

We have now had time to fully research and consider the elements of the program unveiled as Phil Hudok's Arbitration Award and Peace Treaty 2020.  

This Alert combines legal opinions from several members of The Living Law Firm, including former Bar Attorneys and Judges who have taken their stand with the people of this country:  

"Once you have admitted to being a "natural person" and admitted to being "at war" with them [the Federales] and allowed them to take title to your land assets --- what do they need you for?

Nothing. They can seize your property and abuse you and do whatever they wish, because you agreed to all of it.

We will not be able to protect people who take this "Arbitration Award" offer, because we cannot protect them against themselves....[they have the unlimited right to contract.]"

This is an Urgent Alert issued to all Americans interested in preserving their freedom, their lawful government,  and their standing to press claims against the British Territorial United States and Municipal United States for physical damages and war crimes:

"The Hudok Offer including the Arbitration Award and the associated "Peace Treaty 2020" is an attempt to gain multiple undisclosed advantages ....it is a misrepresented commercial offer amounting to a bribe leveraged against restitution that is already owed to the victims." 

"The actual States and People of this country were never engaged in the mercenary conflict known as the American Civil War.  Encouraging people who were never involved in any such conflict to issue a "Peace Treaty" creates the false idea -- and equally false legal admission -- that these same innocent civilians were in fact at war and subject to combat status as Enemies."  

"This False Admission then serves to exonerate the actual Guilty Parties who have waged war against non-combatant civilian populations..." 

"While we are not seeking revenge for the past we do not advise anyone to offer inappropriate Peace Treaties that may or may not be honored and we do not advise anyone to seek or accept any settlement that uses deceptive legal terms like "natural persons" and which misrepresents land "titles" as Free Holds". 

"On the balance, these documents [the Arbitration Award and Peace Treaty 2020] are diabolically deceptive and aim at undisclosed and highly prejudicial goals.  Run like gazelles --- in the opposite direction." 

"We, as a Review Committee, find these proposals to be highly inappropriate and prejudicial...." 

"Signing onto these documents [Hudok's Arbitration Award and Peace Treaty 2020]  would mis-characterize the victims as knowing Enemy Combatants, rob them of their natural political status, and steal title to their land assets."

Bottom line: "You'd have to be crazy to go for this."

No "Peace Treaty" Needed

By Anna Von Reitz

Our States and People were never involved in the so-called Civil War.  The entire mercenary conflict wasn't a "war" and it was fought by States of States organizations, like "The State of New York".   

So we don't need any "Peace Treaty" to end a mercenary conflict we were never involved in. 

Instead, the Vermin need a peace treaty to justify their crimes against peaceful non-combatant civilians.  And that is why they are promoting "Peace Treaty 2020".  

Sign up and sign away your right to complain or seek compensation for their mistreatment  and abuse for the past 150 years. 

Now, ask yourselves--- 

Do we give them an excuse for their criminality and let them off the hook?  

Do we go back and subject ourselves to a Queen that has already done all these evil things to us —- by claiming to be “natural persons” instead of one of the "People" she owes good faith service to? 

Do we hand the Pope our land by allowing the Municipal Government to issue a “title” related to it?  

Do we fail in our objective at the last moment by being weak-minded and believing that the same crooks who lied about and mistreated us before will keep their word once they have gotten what they want — our subjection and our land? 

Stop and think. 

Aren't you already owed everything they are offering and more? 

Where is your guarantee that they won’t just take your signature, seize your “donated” assets, and leave you standing there worse off than you were before? 

After all, offering them a Peace Treaty doesn't obligate them to take it.  

And once you have admitted to being a "natural person" and admitted to being "at war" with them and allowed them to take title to your land assets --- what do they need you for?  

Nothing.  They can seize your property and abuse you and do whatever they wish, because you agreed to all of it. 

We will not be able to protect people who take this "Arbitration Award" offer, because we cannot protect them against themselves.   

You have all been given the facts.   

The American Civil War was a mercenary conflict, not a war.  

It was fought by confederated "States of States" not States. 

Our States of the Union didn't fight in this conflict. 

"Natural person" is a subject political status. 

Accepting a "title" for land means you are a tenant.  

If you can still think after a lifetime of false indoctrination, do so. 

If this is a straight up deal, why can't you change your mind and withdraw from it once you sign on?  

If this is such a great deal, where is Richard Schaum's name on it?  

Remember that they operate under Roman Civil Law, and under Roman Civil Law, it's okay to lie, cheat, steal, and defraud to your heart's delight, so long as you don't get caught and nobody objects to it.  

Well, I am objecting.  But you all need to wake up and object for yourselves.

Pope Francis’ Signature

By Anna Von Reitz

Okay, so now I have a mish-mash of Jews and Catholics on my back ranting —how could I know the status of the Pope and the Pope Emeritus? 

My first question is—-why should Jews care? 

My second question is —-why doesn’t everyone see what I see? 

Benedict very clearly said that he retained his “ministerial” office.  His sacred office was retained.  

As what office was he resigning? His secular office as Roman Pontiff.  That’s what he handed off to Francis, a loyal Jesuit, sworn to obey the Pope. 

So Benedict is still in control and that is not gossip or guess.  It is logic based on known facts. 

Add to these known facts the way Francis signs his paperwork: FRANCISCUS.  

This is the name of a slave in Latin. 

It is the name of a corporation. 

It is the name of a dead man’s estate. 

And these are the only things FRANCISCUS can be or can stand for under the Roman Civil Law or under the Uniform Commercial Code or under Ecclesiastical Law, either. 

No other Pope has consistently and only used this kind of signature.  No other Pope has denied Obedience.  

So we are in the presence of a ruse. 

It may have been done to take pressure off of Benedict or to expedite business operations of the Pontificate or any number of other reasons, but you, I, and everyone else on the planet has cause to know that what is going on in Vatican City is not business as usual.  

The dirty business dealings of the Roman Pontificate and the Holy Roman Empire and the City of Rome all have to be dealt with in a sober fashion.  

The Great Tribulation (Tribute to Rome) has come and is now fading away. 

The Apocalypse has come, too.  A great many people are confused. Through it all, the Truth shines through and will not be diminished.  If anything, it will shine brighter as the days grow darker. 

The Dark Ones who have festered in the Church will come out now.  Their hatred of Mankind will be self-evident.  They will try for a Renewal of their Death Cult and attempt to go “mainstream” with their sacrifices and blood-letting and worship of idols. They will do this with great pageantry and pomp and special effects designed to cow us like cave men. 

This will be welcomed by the majority of the members of Congress who are already members of this sickening cult— a “religion”  which has been repeatedly suppressed because of its horrific immorality, cruelty, dishonesty, and destructiveness. 

Even the “anything goes” Romans under Julius Caesar put it down and put it down hard enough to suppress it for the better part of a thousand years.  

Now it will be up to us to put it out of its misery once and for all. 

May we be equal to the task and may we destroy once and for all time the hateful and false premises and disgusting beliefs that give rise to The Great Abomination.

Vampires Coming to Dinner

By Anna Von Reitz

Remember the old black and white vampire movies?  

Remember how the vampire would stand at the doorway and everyone in the theater would whisper, “Don’t invite him in!”

And, of course, the dumb girl would always invite the vampire in for tea and cookies. She had to, of course, or the movie would end right there. 

It’s the same way with Federal Agents.  They can’t come in unless you invite them in.  

That’s why all State Assemblies need to use the Bevins Declaration at the beginning of all business meetings, and after any breaks.  

Give them no excuse to infiltrate your meetings or to influence your proceedings as a State Assembly. 

Word your Bevins Declaration to include all “US Citizens” so that you can identify people who don’t know any better, as well as those who are willfully adopting Federal Citizenship of one kind or another. 

Now I will ask you to remember another blast from the past—-recall how the Federales  got all the churches to fall into their “corporate franchise” trap?

They promised the churches tax exempt status. 

The odd thing is that the churches were already tax free.  

By applying for the offered “benefit” of tax exempt status, the already established right to freedom from taxation was converted into a privilege that could be denied by bureaucrats.  

The churches unwittingly gave up a right to gain a privilege, and subjected themselves and their property assets in the process. 

Now you may say, and rightly so, how stupid is that? 

But we have a similar gambit going on right now with the so-called Arbitration Award.

The Arbitration Award is the same kind of anti-intuitive drivel they used on the churches, selling you —at great undisclosed  cost—-something that they already owe you. 

It’s like saying, “We will respect your virginity after we rape you.” 

We will respect your rights and immunities right after you subject yourself to our Queen as a “natural person”, oh, and, of course, after you accept a Municipal Government issued “Title” being placed on your land....

Let me say it again and please listen closely and think about the implications: 

That THING in DC is a foreign government operating as a private, for-profit “governmental services corporation”.  

They think Prisons for Profit is a great idea.  Charging $6000 a day for a cot and gruel sounds wonderful to them. 

Cheating you out of your property assets using titles and tricky legal verbiage is business as usual. 

Selling you something you are already owed— why not? 

Convert your rights to privileges? Even better, so far as they are concerned. 

The Federal Government is like EXXON or Monsanto on Methyl-Ethyl-Amphetamine.   

That’s why we call it The Swamp. 

The Federal Government considers you to be prey. Trapping you and your assets is how it feeds itself.  

And there is only one way out of The Swamp. Reclaim your birthright political status as an American —no kind of US citizen at all — and join and support and protect your own State Assembly.
