The US Citizen Blues

By Anna Von Reitz

Let's make it clear that while you persist in calling yourself a "US Citizen" and acting "as" a US Citizen, you are laboring under a number of profound disadvantages. 

"US Citizens" have no access to the Constitutions nor to their guarantees and never have had. The political status of a "United States Citizen" (Territorial) and also that of "Citizen of the United States" (Municipal) was created by the Constitutions, and therefore, obviously, people adopting either one or both of these political status obligations are NOT Parties to the Constitutions. By definition. 

The most "US Citizens" have is a promise of "Equal Civil Rights" which gets suspended during "National Emergencies"--- and so far as the corporations in DC are concerned, they are in a near-constant "state of emergency" as a result of their own mismanagement. 

Some specific rights, like the right to Habeas Corpus, have even been suspended by Executive Order of the Commander in Chief since 1863. So there are numerous exceptions where even when there isn't a "national emergency", US Citizens are denied truly Equal Civil Rights.

The point is --- what Congress gives, the Congress --- or the President --- can take away.  Why?  Because "Civil Rights" are privileges conferred by the "Civil Government" --- that is, the Municipal Government of the United States. They have nothing to do with the "Natural and Unalienable Rights" that Americans are heir to.

US Citizens cannot own land in this country, with the result that they are considered tenants not landlords, and in all cases where US Citizens have homes or land in this country, they have only tenant rights. 

If they are Territorial Citizens, the Municipal Government acts as landlord.  If they are Municipal Citizens, the Territorial Government acts as landlord.  And in no case do the US Citizens actually own anything.  They are "presumed" to be "residing" here on a temporary basis, providing governmental services to us, the "missing" Americans.  House-sitters, in other words.

United States Citizens are subject to statutory law and function as Legal Fiction Persons.  They cannot access the Public Law or even The Law of Peace which the military is obligated to give us (AR 27-161-1). 

Municipal Citizens of the United States and their slaves known as "citizens of the United States" are also taxpayers by definition. They, too, are all legal fiction PERSONS.

So there is no advantage to claiming to be a "US Citizen" of either stripe and never has been. 

Except for getting a federal paycheck and other payola, there is no reason that any American in their right mind would ever knowingly or willingly choose to be considered a "US Citizen". 

Since the US Citizens are all Taxpayers by definition, and Federal Corporations in DC have had a mighty motivation to count everyone in sight as "US Citizens" and to make it difficult for the rest of us who are not employed by the "Federal Government" to (1) claim our birthrights and (2) live in a militaristic society dominated by our employees and all their regimentation.

Nonetheless, unless they wish to be declared in open rebellion and guilty of committing treason and violation of international law and risk having their assumed commercial contracts voided, the corporations in DC are obligated to recognize your claim of either American State National status (no obligation to any government, except to keep the peace and cause no harm) or American State Citizen (involved in staffing the actual State Government you are owed). 

The specific Offices responsible for recognizing your correct political status are: The United States Secretary of State, and The United States Attorney General's Office, and right after them, The United States Secretary of the Treasury. 

On the local level, the State of State Governors, the State Secretaries of State, the State Attorney Generals, the Commissioners of the Departments of Natural Resources, and the District Attorneys are all obligated to recognize and provide the protections of your American State National and/or American State Citizen political status. 

And to a man, they religiously fail to do so and get away with this "neglect" because nobody is claiming their rightful political status as Americans and nobody is holding them accountable.

Now, obviously, most Americans are not aware that they have been "presumed upon" and misidentified as US Citizens.  They have gone about their lives thinking, "Well, of course, I am an American!  Any fool can see that!" --- but "Misery Loves Company" and the members of Congress are an odd mix of clueless and criminal and they are greedy for tax dollars and power--- with the result that you have been systematically misidentified as a "volunteer" and as a "US Citizen".

What are you going to do about it?  Well, first of all, you need to know who and what you are and the fact that your nationality is determined by your place of birth on Earth.  You were born within the borders of an American State, on its land and soil, and by definition you are an American, not a "US Citizen".

Your physically defined State is your Nation.  You are a Texan, a Wisconsinite, a New Yorker.... that is your nationality, and more generally, you are an American. 

Anyone who says differently is "mis-characterizing" you and is guilty of crime. This is a crime under the Geneva Conventions.  Anyone who presumes that you are a "US Citizen" is "impersonating" you, because all "US Citizens" are merely "Legal Persons" --- having no ability to function as recognizable physical entities.  Impersonation is a crime, too.  So is kidnapping, inland piracy, and conspiracy against the Constitutions. 

The people making these false claims against you, to the effect that you are a "US Citizen", can literally hang for it.  That's why, when you bring it to their attention, they should all be very cordial and eager to recognize the fact that you are not and, in most cases, never were, any form of "US Citizen". 

Unfortunately, some of them are intent upon securing tax revenue and claims of oppressive power over the American People --- like "Draft Boards" --- and they will try to bluff and bully you into "accepting" the status of "US Citizen" even though you are not getting a paycheck from their corporations.  They will even try to enforce citizenship obligations upon you as a "contractual obligation". 

And this is where you must have your own ducks in order, because they have been plotting against you since your own babyhood and have been collecting "evidence" that you are a "US Citizen", beginning with a Birth Certificate issued by the local British Territorial Government franchise operating as a "State of State". 

Ironically, this document, the BC, is also the primary evidence against them. 

Once you prove via affirmed Witness Testimony in the Form of an Affidavit (two Witnesses needed) that you are the man or woman whose birth occurred on your birth day and at that place and of that parentage, it is also apparent that you were a baby at the time they snatched you away from your natural and native jurisdiction on the land and human trafficked you into their foreign jurisdiction on the sea.

The Birth Certificate is evidence of crime, the least of which is "unconscionable" contracting practices by the Territorial Government -- which is why when you bring it forward to the District Attorneys and the State Secretary of State and say the Magic Words, the doors welcoming you home should swing open wide and any troubles that you have with THEM should disappear like morning fog. 

And if not, you go straight to the US Secretary of State and demand recognition as an American State National and/or American State Citizen.

Be aware, you cannot enjoy your birthright as an American and also claim that you are any kind of "US Citizen".  This would allow the employees of foreign corporations to take over our land and soil and destroy our country --- and not just on paper.  This is why our States do not allow Dual Citizenship. 

So as the saying goes, "Use it or Lose it".  Claim it, or color it gone.

Write that letter to the State-of-State Secretary of State and fully inform him or her that you are claiming your birthright political status and that you are acting as a Lawful Person and that you expect to be recognized as an American, not a US Citizen of either kind. 

Send a copy to the State-of-State Attorney General, the Governor, the DNR Commissioner, and the US Secretary of State.  For good measure, send a copy to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 

Explain your political status and the dirty trick that has been played on you and millions of other innocent Americans by their own employees.  Demand recognition of your true political status and release from all presumptions of "US Citizen" status. 

Tell them forthrightly that you are a peaceable Texan (or Minnesotan or....) owed the Law of Peace from the military and the full force of the Constitutions and that you do not "voluntarily" accept any presumptions otherwise.

If you are angry, you have a right to be angry.  This entire country and its people have been outrageously imposed upon and abused by both the British Monarchs and the Popes, and all the while they have been prattling on about the importance of "Law" while they have been breaking it.  And also seeking to weasel out of their treaties and commercial contracts. 

Hold them feet first to the fire by all means making them accountable --- morally, commercially, and internationally for the harm they have done to you and to your country. 

But it all begins with realizing that you are NOT a "US Citizen", establishing your claim to your birthright status on the public record, learning to use the evidence effectively against them, and using both lawful and legal process against them should they offer any resistance to your claims.

In short order --- what must you do to establish your identity and enforce your birthrights as an American?

1. Secure multiple certified copies of the Birth Certificate that was issued in your name.

2. Secure at least two competent affirmed Witness Testimonies in the Form of an Affidavit identifying you (your photo) at your current address as "the" man or woman whose birthday, birth place and parentage are recorded on the BC.

3. Do the Paperwork to formally give Notice of the return your Lawful Name to the land and soil of your birth state, etc.

4. Learn the Spiel and learn who to give it to--- the DA's, the State of State Secretaries of State, the US Attorneys, the District Attorneys, and anyone having anything to do with the court system. 

5. "There has been a mistake..... "

6. Present the "Mandatory Notice" required by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

7. Present (if the situation warrants it) a Notice of Liability, making it clear that each Office-Holder is personally responsible and accountable.

8. Acknowledgement and Acceptance: "I know you are operating under the 1934 Amendment to the Trading with the Enemy Act and I accept that you can't speak about it thanks to 18 USC 472 and I duly accept your Oath of Office-- but I can speak about it.  I am not any form of US Citizen and not an "Enemy" within the jurisdiction, meaning, or intent of that Act, and I am serving Notice to you in both your official and personal capacity that I am an American and that I claim and hold my birthright political status on the land and soil of this country as a Lawful Person and I have returned from any presumption that I am "over the sea".

9. Action: "I wish for my true political status as an American State National to be recognized now and forever afterward by my loyal employees and I wish you to take whatever action is necessary to sort out the paperwork and spread the news of my return so that: (1) my name is placed on a do not detain list, (2) a proper ID not related to any "Driver License" is issued', (3) any property listed under my NAME is removed from the Tax Rolls, (4) all pending Territorial or Municipal Court actions related to my name are expunged and eliminated; (5) any "federal" liens or garnishments premised on the idea that I ever was a federal employee, volunteer, or citizen issued against my name are removed." 

10. Guarantee: "It is my intent to live my life at peace as a Lawful Person, to uphold the Constitutions and the Public Law, and I do not propose to judge, blame, or harm anyone. I am here to claim what is mine, no more, no less, and to enforce the treaties, commercial contracts, and guarantees I am owed."

Is this situation clear enough, even for the boneheads among us? 

When you actually work for the Federal Government, you are obligated to act as a "US Citizen", when you are an "immigrant" in process of becoming naturalized, when you are a "dependent" of a Federal Employee, when you are claiming political asylum in the United States from another country, when you are knowingly and willingly occupying a federal political office, when you are knowingly and willingly acting as an officer of a federally chartered corporation--- in all those situations, you are obligated to act as a "US Citizen", but otherwise, you are under no such obligation and under no such political status--- unless you continue to claim such political status out of ignorance.

And absent a paycheck, etc., what other reason could there ever be for an American to adopt "US Citizenship"?  Why would you give up your Natural and Unalienable Rights for here-again-there-again "Civil Rights"?  Why would you agree to tax yourself (voluntarily) for up to 60% of your earnings?  Why would you subject yourself to more than 80,000 million statutory laws?  Why would you give up your property rights and assets?  And live as a "tenant" on your own land?  Why would you ever knowingly agree to any of this?

You wouldn't.

This has been a totally unconscionable contracting process imposed upon you from Day One.  Now that you are an adult, it's time to wake up and take action in your own behalf and the sooner the better.

The Cost of Freedom

By Anna Von Reitz

First, everyone must resist the Snooze Button long enough to realize that the THINGS in Washington, DC, are not and have never been the American Government.

Those THINGS comprising what is left of the Federal Government operating out of the District of Columbia, are foreign, for-profit, commercial corporations in the business of providing governmental services under contract. A full one-third of the "Federal Government" is missing, and it happens to be the third that belongs to us.

The American Government is and always has been vested entirely in the living people and their Lawful Persons and their geographically-defined States.

If you want to be free and live as an American, then you have to step up to the plate and accept the responsibility of self-governance. You have to explicitly declare your political status and operate as a Lawful Person.

If you want to be harassed and bossed around and "Nanny-stated" then you can just stay where you are, as a "presumed" Ward of the "State of State" and you can operate as a "Legal Person" and as a "US Citizen" of some kind.

But be aware that "US Citizens" are not free, cannot own land in this country, and are required to pay for all the services they demand by armed thugs.

The key PERSONS responsible for recognizing your political status are: (1) the District (as in District of Columbia) Attorneys, and (2) the US Secretary of State. This is because these Officers and Departments are particularly responsible for keeping track of who is in their jurisdiction and who is "without" it.

It is your responsibility to keep them fully informed.

It is also your responsibility to put form to function by assembling your State of the Union once you decide to act as an adult American and to not "accept" the political status of an "infant decedent".

Americans have long paid the other costs of freedom in both blood and sweat, but the one cost that is most important, indeed, crucial to all the rest, we neglect. We have earned the right to self-govern, and then, fail to do so.

Run, don't walk, to get your political status corrected and evidence of the correction placed as Notice on the land recording district records, then boot up your State Assembly.

Claim your identity as an American State Citizen and do the one crucial duty left to perform: self-govern, so that you are not "presumed" to be any THING or anyone, but who you truly are: an American.

It should be self-evident that US Citizens are not acting as Americans, and vice versa; otherwise, why would these different designations exist?

It should be self-evident that our States of the Union are our Nations and that these are sovereign entities, while any greater group effort that binds them together as a Union, a Federation, or a Confederation is not sovereign, but is instead an Agent, either unincorporated or incorporated, of the sovereign States.

We are Wisconsinites, Texans, Vermonters, Floridians, and New Yorkers. We are Californians and Oregonians and Montanans and Iowans. We are Minnesotans and Tennesseans and Kentuckians. We are all the faces and place of fifty actual States of the Union.

We are not corporate employees acting under contract to provide governmental services. That is, we are not "US Citizens" nor are we "Citizens of the United States".

We are the actual, factual, living and breathing People of this country and We, are the Employers-in-Fact, of all those foreign governmental service providers operating as "US Citizens".

I recently saw another slam piece of Yellow Journalism accusing me of leading you into "captivity".

I have news for you, you are already being held captive by your own employees, and forced to pay whatever they want you to pay for whatever services these "US Citizens" want to provide.

And it's all because you have not paid the final Cost of Freedom ---- you have failed to act in your proper capacity as an American, failed to operate as a Lawful Person, failed to assemble your State of the Union, and failed to self-govern.

So, in your "absence" your employees are governing you and picking your pockets and telling you when to stand up and when to sit down and what services you will receive and what services won't be available and when to blow your noses. You live in fear of your own employees.

And whose fault is that?

Please comment.

Is Logic the same thing as common sense?

 

1 - Eleven teens die each day because of texting while driving. Maybe it's time to raise the age of Smart phone ownership to 21.

2 - If gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry.

3 - The Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.

4 - Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know it.

5 - When JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle

6 - The NRA murders 0 people and receives $0 in government funds. Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax dollars annually. 

7 - I have no problem with vigorous background checks when it comes to firearms. While we're at it, let's do the same when it comes to immigration, Voter I.D and candidates running for office. Also for welfare recipients.

8 - You don't need a smoke detector; that's what the fire department is for. Now...if you think that sounds stupid, you know how I feel when you say I don't need a gun.

9 - Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and has a trillion bullets. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. How do you think that's going to end?

PASS THIS ON!

Read It and Weep

By Anna Von Reitz

I am so sick of hearing the snakes --- the real ones --- whipping up on me for my "service" to Pope Benedict, which was in fact a service to the American People as demonstrated very clearly by the example of The Letter to Cardinal George of Chicago, posted as Article 1 on my website, and as fully detailed in my book, Disclosure 101.  (See www.annavonreitz.com, Article 1.)

To all those who have slandered me and accused me of being a "Vatican Agent" based on their own ignorance and false assumptions, take heed. 

A "private attorney" seeks to overturn wrong-doing and the return of assets to the people they are owed to.  If you don't want your property returned to you, then continue to make false assumptions and spread false claims and rumors about what I have done and am doing toward that aim.

Continue to call me a "snake" because I grasp the language of snakes and have the education to beat them at their own game.

God knows you don't stand a chance without me and many other people like me to defend your interests before you even know that they are in danger.

Ignore the admonition to be "Wise as serpents and gentle as doves.". 

Show what fools you are in public and stand ready to be shamed to the soles of your feet.

State Citizens v. US Citizens Status

By Anna Von Reitz

It has come as a great shock to some people to learn that there are two completely separate political statuses in this country that are the result of service obligations of public employees known as either “United States Citizens” or “Citizens of the United States” and those being served, the People of the States.

This fundamental fact should be taught to every schoolchild in America, but as a result of lapses and the self-interest of our employees, has not been.

The unincorporated States of the Union acting by and through their unincorporated Holding Company, The United States of America, are the actual Landlords and Employers of the Federal Government, both Territorial and Municipal.

The People of the States are the owners and operators of the States of the Union. We are owed the Good Faith Service of all Federal Employees and Agencies and the prompt and correct consideration of our proper political status, once we claim it and properly, explicitly enunciate our Will to be recognized as American State Nationals or American State Citizens.

A brief citational history was recently forwarded to me by a reader and as I like the way this is organized, I am publishing it as an education “short course” in the subject and as proof, if any is needed, that Americans are naturally Lawful Persons and occupy a political status separate from US Citizens:

1. State Citizens v. US Citizens

2. “There are two classes of citizens, citizens of the United States and of the State. And one may be a citizen of the former without being a citizen of the latter” — Gardina v. Board of Registers 48 So. 788, 169 Ala. 155 (1909)

3. Federal citizenship is a municipal franchise domiciled in the District of Columbia, and the political rights of federal citizens are franchises which they hold as privileges at the legislative discretion of Congress.” —(Murphy v. Ramsey , 114 U.S. 15 (1885)).

4. “The only absolute and unqualified right of a United States citizen is to residence within the territorial boundaries of the United States.” — US vs. Valentine 288 F. Supp. 957

5. “Therefore, the U.S. citizens [citizens of the District of Columbia] residing in one of the states of the union, are classified as property and franchises of the federal government as an “individual entity.” — Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Fox, 298 U.S. 193, 80 L.Ed. 1143, 56 S.Ct. 773.

6. “A “US Citizen” upon leaving the District of Columbia becomes involved in “interstate commerce”, as a “resident” does not have the common-law right to travel, of a Citizen of one of the several states.” — Hendrick v. Maryland S.C. Reporter’s Rd. 610-625. (1914)

7. “There is in our Political System, a government of each of the several states and a government of the United States Each is distinct from the other and has citizens of its own.” — US vs. Cruikshank, 92 US 542,

8. …the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States do not necessarily include all the rights protected by the first eight amendments to the Federal constitution against the powers of the Federal government.” — Maxwell v Dow, 20 S.C.R. 448, at pg 455;

9. “The rights of the individuals are restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by the “citizenship” to the agencies of government.” — City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944

10. “…it might be correctly said that there is no such thing as a citizen of the United States. … A citizen of any one of the States of the Union, is held to be, and called a citizen of the United States, although technically and abstractly there is no such thing.” — Ex Parte Frank Knowles, 5 Cal. Rep. 300

11. This can also be confirmed in the definitions section of Title 5 USC, Title 26 USC, and Title 1 USC.

12. Therefore a US citizen is a piece of property. If you read any of those old court cases prior to the civil war where slavery was the issue, the debate was ALWAYS over property rights, therefore a US citizen, is a SLAVE.

13. The Fourteenth Amendment defines what a US citizen is;
“Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.…”

14. The so-called Fourteenth Amendment criminally converts US citizenship completely upside down from what the founding fathers intended.

15. A US citizen is a corporation:

16. Summary of 6 pages of Congressional Record , June 13, 1967, pp. 15641-15646). A “citizen of the United States” is a civilly dead entity operating as a co-trustee and co-beneficiary of the PCT, the private constructive, cestui que trust of US Inc. under the 14th Amendment, which upholds the debt of the USA and US Inc. in Section 4.

17. “…it is evident that they [US citizens] have not the political ‘[ rights]’ which are vested in citizens of the States. They are not constituents of any community in which is vested any sovereign power of government. Their position partakes more of the character of subjects than of citizens. They are subject to the laws of the United States, but have no voice in its management. If they are allowed to make laws, the validity of these laws is derived from the sanction of a Government in which they are not represented. Mere citizenship they may have, but the political ‘[rights]’ of citizens they cannot enjoy…” — People v. De La Guerra,40 Cal. 311, 342 (A.D. 1870)

18. Del Sharp United States Code that uses “American national” while maintaining no such status as 14th Amendment “naturalized citizen of the United States”.

19. 8 U.S.C. § 1502 : Certificate of nationality issued by Secretary of State for person not a naturalized citizen of United States for use in proceedings of a foreign state.

20. The Secretary of State is authorized to issue, in his discretion and in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by him, a certificate of nationality for any person not a naturalized citizen of the United States who presents satisfactory evidence that he is an AMERICAN NATIONAL and that such certificate is needed for use in judicial or administrative proceedings in a foreign state. Such certificate shall be solely for use in the case for which it was issued and shall be transmitted by the Secretary of State through appropriate official channels to the judicial or administrative officers of the FOREIGN STATE in which it is to be used.

21. Corpus Juris Secundum § 883, [t]he United States government is a FOREIGN CORPORATION with respect to a state.

22. 8 USC § 1101(a)(21), [t]he term “national” means a person owing permanent allegiance to a state.”

23. 8 USC § 1101(a)(22), [t]he term “national of the United States” means
(A) a citizen of the United States, or
(B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent
allegiance to the United States.

24. American national ≠ national/citizen of the United States

25. These are TWO distinct status’ within the American system. The former is a freeman, the latter is a voluntary slave subject to the jurisdiction thereof created by section 1 of the 14th Amendment. It is a FEDERALLY CREATED capacity/title that owes allegiance to it.

I trust that this is the “end” of any debate about the issue.

If you wish to be considered a “US Citizen” of any kind, you may adopt that status and act as a Legal Person. If you wish to retain your natural born capacity and wish to act as a Lawful Person and act exclusively as an “American State National” or “American State Citizen”, you may declare your intent and claim/reclaim and record your natural political status as an American — which is what I recommend and what our paperwork process is designed to accomplish.

At no time before or since the so-called American Civil War have any of our States been engaged in any form of warfare since 1814; we are owed the Law of Peace, AR 27-161-1 from the Territorial Government and agreed upon Service from the Municipal Government, which, with respect to us, is limited to perform its operations within the ten miles square of the District of Columbia.

Those of us who declare ourselves and record our political status as peaceful American State Citizens are owed all protections and guarantees of both The Constitution of the United States of America (Territorial Government) and The Constitution of the United States (Municipal Government) without any presumption of the existence of US Citizenship obligations of any kind.

In the same token, we are obligated by those same venerable agreements to not interfere in the functions of the Federal Government and to “stay in our lane” in the day to day operation of our own affairs. If we claim our State National or State Citizen status, we accept it as our singular political status and/or obligation of citizenship, and we do not claim any other political status in conflict of interest.

So, if you are a “US Citizen” you cannot at the same time be considered an “American State National” or “American State Citizen” by any State of the Union, even though your Federal Employer may allow you to claim Dual Citizenship during your period of service employment and may recognize your actual nationality as that of an American.

Three Keys, One Chapter and One Psalm: Your Future?

By Anna Von Reitz

I work with confused people every day.  Most often they are confused about the very foundations of their lives and their existences.  

Many believe that they are free, when in fact, they are enslaved.  Many believe that they are "US Citizens", when in fact, they are Americans.  Many think they are "Christian", but in fact, they are practicing a foreign religion.  

The Essence of Evil is deceit and confusion. 

We fail to recognize Evil, and do what is wrong, because we believe that the Evil we are doing is right.   We are confused.  

"Forgive them, for they know not what they do," says it all.   

We go to war, thinking that we are protecting our country, when in fact we are murdering innocent people to profit evil men.  

We store up symbols of wealth and power, and we worship these idols, believing that they have value.  

We enter into marriage as a commercial contract, because we have been taught no better.   

Truly, wherever you look, you see that the world is upside down.  Doctors promote disease.  Lawyers peddle injustice.  Servants rule.  The Good suffer and the Evil prosper. 

Yet, we take all this for granted and stumble on?   

We already have "one world religion" ---- the Religion of Lies.  It has served Satan since the early days and was so at the time of Jesus and still is now. 

There is some information I need to give to everyone, regardless of what religion you may follow --- practical information you will need to make sense of things. 

Is there one united group of all those who love Jesus at the end-- a universal church, though it may not be called a church at all?  

Yes, there are those who belong to him who come from all nations and churches and even other faiths.  John 10:16.  This is the first key.  Expect this. Know this. 

How will you recognize Him despite all the confusion and false prophets?  

The most simple and natural means of all: his voice. 

You will know him the same way you know the voice of a family member.  John 10:3-5.  This is the second key.  There is one voice, and you will know it.  

What is the truth about these times and the nature of Mankind? 

"They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are out of course" ---- yet, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."  Psalm 82:5-6. 

These are our times and this is our nature.  This is the third key.  

Those who correct their understanding and yield to the Truth within them, will live as children of the most High God.  They will rise up and be like the Good Shepherd they follow, certain of their steps, humble in their gladness. 

No earthly power can cheat them of what they are.  All their treasure is in Heaven; who will take it from them?  Surely, their portion is set aside, and what part of it was not earned? 

These are things for us to think upon and know in these days when we are tested and the Devil tries his final Grand Slams, his Biggest Lies, his most devious Plans.  

We shall come from the far corners of the Earth, from all races and nations, from all faiths and systems of belief, for we are called as a sheep is called by its name and by its Shepherd.  We are called despite all differences. 

We shall hear his voice and we shall answer.  We will not be deceived.  We will not be confused.  At no moment will we be left unguarded.  We are safe with our Shepherd and our Shepherd is with us.  

We shall see the Darkness, but not be dismayed; we are the children of the most High God, made for this day and in His image.

So now you know who you truly are and what to expect in the days to come. Let nothing make you afraid, for the days of Satan are done and his outcome is assured.

Fifth Sunday In Lent - Passion Sunday (Judica)

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's Year

This Sunday, called Judica from the first word of the Introit, is also called Passion Sunday, because from this day the Church occupies herself exclusively with the contemplation of the passion and death of Christ. The pictures of Christ crucified are covered today in memory of his having hidden Himself from the Jews until His entrance into Jerusalem, no longer showing Himself in public. (John XI. 54.) In the Mass the Glory be to the Father, etc. is omitted, because in the person of Christ the Holy Trinity was dishonored. The psalm Judica is not said today, because on this day the high priests held council about our Lord, for which reason the Church in the name of the suffering Saviour uses these words at the Introit:

INTROIT Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man, for Thou art my God and my strength. Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles. (Ps. XLII. 1. 3.)

COLLECT We beseech Thee, Almighty God, graciously to look upon Thy family; that by Thy bounty it may be governed in body, and by Thy protection be guarded in mind. 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 (Heb. IX. 11-15.) Brethren, Christ being come, a high-priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the Holy Ghost, offered himself without spot to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God? And therefore he is the Mediator of the new testament; that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament; they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

EXPLANATION St. Paul here teaches, that Christ as the true high-priest of the New Testament, through His precious blood on the altar of the cross, has indeed rendered perfect satisfaction for sins, but that the sinner must also do his own part, by cooperating with Christ to make himself less unworthy of participating in His passion and merits, and to appropriate to himself its fruits. This is done when he diligently and devoutly assists at the unbloody Sacrifice of the Mass, by which the fruits of the death on the cross are attributed to us; when, according to the will of the Church, he purifies his conscience by true contrition and confession; and when he seeks by trust in Christ's merits to render some satisfaction for his sins through voluntary penance and faithful following of Christ.

ASPIRATION  Grant us, O meek Jesus, Thy grace, that through perfect sorrow for our sins and the exercise of good works we may become participators in the merits of Thy bitter passion.

GOSPEL (John VIII. 46-59.) At that time, Jesus said to the multitudes of the Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered: I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me. But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Amen, amen, I say to you, if any-man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. Art thou greater than our Father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. And you have not known him; but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

Why did Christ ask the Jews, which of them should convince Him of sin?

To show us that he who would teach and punish others, should strive to be irreproachable himself; and to prove that He, being free from sin, was more than mere man, and therefore, the Messiah, the Son of God, as He repeatedly told the Jews, especially in this day's gospel, and substantiated by His great and numerous miracles.

Why did He say: He that is of God, heareth the words of God?

To prove that the Jews on account of their stubbornness and unbelief were not the children of God, but of the devil. "Therefore," St. Gregory says, "let every one when he hears the word of God, ask himself, of whom he is. Eternal truth demands that we be desirous of the heavenly fatherland, that we tame the desires of the flesh, be indifferent to the praises of the world, covet not our neighbor's goods, and give alms according to our means. Therefore examine yourself, and if you find in your heart this voice of God, then you will know that you are of God."

CONSOLATION UNDER CALUMNY

When Christ told the Jews the truth, He received insults and calumny; they called Him a Samaritan, that is, an unbeliever, a heretic, one possessed of a devil. This was a terrible slander, and it must have pained Him exceedingly, but at the same time it is a great consolation to those who are innocently calumniated, when they consider that Christ Himself received nothing better. St. Augustine consoles such by saying: "O friend, what is there that can happen to you that your Saviour did not suffer before you? Is it slander? He heard it, when He was called a glutton, a drunkard, a heretic, and a rebel, a companion of sinners, one possessed of a devil; He even heard, when casting out devils, that He did so by Beelzebub, prince of devils." (Matt. IX. 34.) He therefore comforts His apostles, saying, If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? (Matt, X. 25.) Are the pains bitter? There is no pain so bitter that He has not endured it; for what is. more painful, and at the same time more ignominious, than the death of the cross? For think, says St. Paul, diligently upon him who endured such opposition from sinners against himself: that you be not wearied (by all contempt and calumny), fainting in your minds. (Heb. XII. 3.)

How and why did Christ defend Himself against those who slandered Hate?

Only by denying with the greatest modesty the things with which they reproached Him, saying that He had not a devil, that He was not a Samaritan, because He honored His Father not in their manner, but in His own. In repelling this calumny while He left the rest unanswered, Christ removed all doubt in regard to His divine mission, thus vindicating the honor of God, and securing the salvation of man. Christ thus teaches us by His own conduct to defend ourselves only against those detractions and insults which endanger the honor of God and the salvation of man, and then to defend ourselves with all modesty; by no means however to do it, if they injure only our own good name, for we should leave the restoration of that to God, as exemplified by Christ, who knows better than we how to preserve and restore it.

[See the Instruction on the Epistle of the third Sunday after Epiphany.]

How had Abraham seen Christ's day?

In spirit, that is, by. divine revelation he foresaw the coming of Christ and rejoiced; also, he heard, by revelation from God, with the other just in Limbo, that Christ's coming had taken place, and derived the greatest comfort from it.

Why did Christ conceal Himself from the Jews, instead of taking vengeance?

Because the time of His death had not come; because He would show His meekness and patience and teach us that we should avoid our enemies rather than resist them or take vengeance on them; Christ wished to instruct us to avoid passionate and quarrelsome people, for it is an honor for a man, to separate from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches. (Prov. XX. 3.)

PETITION  When Thine enemies calumniated Thee, most meek Jesus, Thou didst answer them with tender words, and when they were about to stone Thee, Thou didst depart from them, whilst we can scarcely bear a hard word, and far from yielding to our neighbor, defend and avenge ourselves most passionately. Ah! pardon us our impatience, and grant us the grace to bear patiently the wrongs done us, and when necessary, answer with gentleness for Thy glory and the salvation of our neighbor.

Faces of the Cross

By Anna Von Reitz

All over the world, the cross is recognized as "the" symbol of Christianity, yet, as we all have cause to know now, Jesus was executed on a Roman torture stake, not a cross at all.  

Throughout the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, and Greece, the Romans used torture stakes, simple posts set in the ground, without cross arms. They didn't waste good wood on criminals---especially not out in the backwater and arid territories like Judea. 

So we may be sure that Jesus had his arms stretched out above his head on a single post without a crossbar---- a torture stake, not a cross at all. 

Astonishingly, the symbol of Christianity is a lie.  

Among all the other odd truths I have had to share with you, there's one to think about.   Why have we been taught to venerate a lie?  Was it just a mistake made by later generations, and if so, why hasn't it been corrected? 

The actual symbol of "a" cross pre-dates Jesus by many, many centuries.  It goes back to what is called "the World Cross" --- an equal-armed cross still used by the Knights of Malta, which symbolizes the intersection of the world of spirit and the world of flesh.  

Symbolically, we all live at the intersection, in a moment called "now" --- which is a time without a time, in a space without a space, where Alpha and Omega meet and everything that was meets everything that is and everything that will be.  

The Cross is the sign of God in us, but not an accurate sign of what Jesus suffered. 

As a Lutheran I grew up with a "plain cross" --- a simple, unequal armed cross that is empty.  There is no trace of the body of Jesus hanging upon it.   Not even the nails are left.  Just a plain empty cross.  

As a child, I liked that, because it proclaimed to me --- he is risen.  He is not here.  He is not hanging on this horrible, gruesome contraption like a piece of meat.  I still like that.  That is, to me, the true take-home message. 

The Catholic Crucifix by comparison is a totally different thing that intersects reality at a different moment.  Here we find Jesus still suffering, or still dead, depending on how you look at it and how the artist portrays it.   

One day I was at a local Catholic Church for some meeting or other for Foster Parents Plan and Habitat for Humanity and some of the other charities including Catholic Social Services.  The leaders of these groups had all had a big meeting and it was late in the afternoon as we broke up.  

Everyone else hurried homeward.  I wandered through the Nave of the church, past the baptismal font, and paused, looking up at the giant life-sized crucifix and the figure of Jesus attached to it.  His face was slack, no longer in agony, but dead.  Yes, definitely dead.  

The priest of the parish walked up almost silently behind me, his feet making no sound on the deeply carpeted aisle.  I was startled when he spoke. 

"What do you see?" he inquired.  

"Jesus, dead on the cross, waiting for Joseph to come take him down."

"What do you think it means?" he asked. 

"I think it is a reminder of what our sins have cost and what we owe." 

"What else?"  

"I think the Devil is laughing.  I think it is a reminder that, in some sense, he won. At least, temporarily. " 

"There," the priest admitted, "you have it all."  

I thought --- not quite.  

There is the Rest of the Story, the plain and empty cross. 

Or, as it turns out, the empty torture stake, standing like any other innocent post in the world, his blood being washed away by the wind and the rain, bleached by the sun.  

There is the veil between life and death being torn asunder, just like the edges of the Red Sea being pulled apart. 

I left the pensive priest standing there, still looking up at the scene of death and defeat.  I had someone to meet.  I went home and lit a candle, poured myself a glass of red wine, and ate my crust of bread and soup for dinner that night. 

And he was there with me, the Lord of the Heavens, being remembered as he asked for us to remember him, whenever we drink wine, whenever we break bread.  

Because I know Jesus, I can tell you that he didn't mean to make Communion into a franchise operation.  He meant it to be exactly what he said --- a remembrance of him, an in-dwelling of his spirit and his teaching in us, in the same way that we drink in wine and eat our bread.  

"For man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."  

He wants to be with us.  Not just when we are being holy, but when we are celebrating, when we are sad, in all the circumstances and places of our lives.  He wants to sit down at the table with us, and be remembered. 

Imagine what would happen in the world if we all just did what he asked us to do, and remembered him every time we drank wine, every time bread passed our lips?  

I don't take the cross as my emblem, much less the crucifix.  For me, its what he asked for, the glass of wine, the loaf of bread.  Its the silent remembrance when nobody is looking.  Communion is my heart reaching out and sharing my life with him, day by day.  

There are so many people who feel such emptiness within, who search and don't even know they are searching.  It never occurs to them that we are in God, and God is in us, inextricably combined, part of the same family in spirit, never alone, never apart, not separated from All That Is.  

There are so many who feel alienated from the Church and from any spiritual practice at all.  They are well and truly lost.  Unable to trust in anything beyond themselves and bearing witness to nothing more than death and taxes. They rant about all the evils of the world or stare sullenly and silently at the eventuality of their own death, grim and vacuous and so superior to the rest of us because they believe in "the uselessness of it all".  

One wonders why they bother to live, or if they do?  

And me, I plod forward, and keep my way, not deterred by all the failings of men and their institutions; the Sanhedrin failed, and so may the Church, and all the Governments, but the Goodness of the True God does not fail us, come what may.
