Psalm 94:17-18 (NASB1995) - If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
7 and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive."
8 Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge-
11 the LORD-knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, "My foot slips," your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
(Psalms 94, ESV)

The Mighty One Calls
A Psalm of Asaph.
The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people: “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah
“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God. I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me. I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens, for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof. Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips? For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you. When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers. You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit. You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son. You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you: He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.” — Psalm 50 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

I know some of you are from YouTube but if you’re not and want to learn more about my supernatural encounter with God that saved me from suicide I encourage you to watch my full testimony 🙏🏼🩷Following God cost me everything. But God gave me back double. Friends and family for a life time in a different way and globally. And it’s a process and will probably continue to be pruned but it’s so worth it. I testify the goodness of the Lord is worth letting go of whatever is holding you back from him.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart Jeremiah 29:13
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul would have lived in the land of silent death Psalm 94:17
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18
Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
The LORD preserves all who love him Psalm 145:20
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Proverbs 8:17

THE LORD IS MY HELP Psalm 94:17-19New International Version 17 Unless the Lord had given me help,I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,”your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

It is no coincidence that Putin says the name of their most powerful nuclear weapon is Satan-2. He said it ‘has the capability of wiping out England in one strike’.
We must pray very hard for the conversion of sinners and those who persecute us, my dear brothers and sisters.
Even if it comes to nuclear strikes for the annihilation of nations, do not be afraid. Remember that the Lord, Our God, is the avenger.
Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;
he knows that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
the one you teach from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 The wicked band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.

4th November >> Mass Readings (Except USA)
Saint Charles Borromeo, Bishop
on
Saturday, Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time.
Saturday, Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time
(Liturgical Colour: White: A (1))
(Readings for the feria (Saturday))
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Saturday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading Romans 11:1-2,11-12,25-29 The Jews have not fallen for ever.
Let me put a question: is it possible that God has rejected his people? Of course not. I, an Israelite, descended from Abraham through the tribe of Benjamin, could never agree that God had rejected his people, the people he chose specially long ago. Do you remember what scripture says of Elijah – how he complained to God about Israel’s behaviour? Let me put another question then: have the Jews fallen for ever, or have they just stumbled? Obviously they have not fallen for ever: their fall, though, has saved the pagans in a way the Jews may now well emulate. Think of the extent to which the world, the pagan world, has benefited from their fall and defection – then think how much more it will benefit from the conversion of them all. There is a hidden reason for all this, brothers, of which I do not want you to be ignorant, in case you think you know more than you do. One section of Israel has become blind, but this will last only until the whole pagan world has entered, and then after this the rest of Israel will be saved as well. As scripture says: The liberator will come from Zion, he will banish godlessness from Jacob. And this is the covenant I will make with them when I take their sins away.
The Jews are enemies of God only with regard to the Good News, and enemies only for your sake; but as the chosen people, they are still loved by God, loved for the sake of their ancestors. God never takes back his gifts or revokes his choice.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 93(94):12-15,17-18
R/ The Lord will not abandon his people.
Happy the man whom you teach, O Lord, whom you train by means of your law; to him you give peace in evil days.
R/ The Lord will not abandon his people.
The Lord will not abandon his people nor forsake those who are his own; for judgement shall again be just and all true hearts shall uphold it.
R/ The Lord will not abandon his people.
If the Lord were not to help me, I would soon go down into the silence. When I think: ‘I have lost my foothold’; your mercy, Lord, holds me up.
R/ The Lord will not abandon his people.
Gospel Acclamation cf. Colossians 3:16a,17
Alleluia, alleluia! Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you; through him give thanks to God the Father. Alleluia!
Or: Matthew 11:29
Alleluia, alleluia! Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, says the Lord, for I am gentle and humble in heart. Alleluia!
Gospel Luke 14:1,7-11 Everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled.
Now on a sabbath day Jesus had gone for a meal to the house of one of the leading Pharisees; and they watched him closely. He then told the guests a parable, because he had noticed how they picked the places of honour. He said this, ‘When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take your seat in the place of honour. A more distinguished person than you may have been invited, and the person who invited you both may come and say, “Give up your place to this man.” And then, to your embarrassment, you would have to go and take the lowest place. No; when you are a guest, make your way to the lowest place and sit there, so that, when your host comes, he may say, “My friend, move up higher.” In that way, everyone with you at the table will see you honoured. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the man who humbles himself will be exalted.’
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Charles Borromeo, Bishop
(Liturgical Colour: White: A (1))
(Readings for the memorial)
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Saturday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading Romans 12:3-13 Use the gifts you have been given.
In the light of the grace I have received I want to urge each one among you not to exaggerate his real importance. Each of you must judge himself soberly by the standard of the faith God has given him. Just as each of our bodies has several parts and each part has a separate function, so all of us, in union with Christ, form one body, and as parts of it we belong to each other. Our gifts differ according to the grace given us. If your gift is prophecy, then use it as your faith suggests; if administration, then use it for administration; if teaching, then use it for teaching. Let the preachers deliver sermons, the almsgivers give freely, the officials be diligent, and those who do works of mercy do them cheerfully.
Do not let your love be a pretence, but sincerely prefer good to evil. Love each other as much as brothers should, and have a profound respect for each other. Work for the Lord with untiring effort and with great earnestness of spirit. If you have hope, this will make you cheerful. Do not give up if trials come; and keep on praying. If any of the saints are in need you must share with them; and you should make hospitality your special care.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 88(89):2-5,21-22,25,27
R/ I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord; through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth. Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever, that your truth is firmly established as the heavens.
R/ I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your dynasty for ever and set up your throne through all ages.
R/ I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
‘I have found David my servant and with my holy oil anointed him. My hand shall always be with him and my arm shall make him strong.
R/ I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
‘My truth and my love shall be with him; by my name his might shall be exalted. He will say to me: “You are my father, my God, the rock who saves me.”’
R/ I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
Gospel Acclamation John 10:14
Alleluia, alleluia! I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my own sheep and my own know me. Alleluia!
Gospel John 10:11-16 The good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep.
Jesus said:
‘I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep and runs away as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; this is because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep.
‘I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep. And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and these I have to lead as well. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, and one shepherd.’
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

"The Daka." From the Book of Sirach, "The Manner of the Fern" 20: 9-17.
Sirach continues to touch upon the underlying grammar found in Hebrew, the metadata one must understand in order to apply his techniques. He says, as I have each time, one must double the concentration when configuring a Mishnah, reading once, practicing without reading second, and finally each time one must decipher how the Mishnah argues right from wrong, ethical from unethical, wise or foolish from the standpoint of the divisions of the Seven Days.
ex. During Day 1, God tells Adam and Evil not to schcrew. That is not appropriate until Day 5. In Day 6, He tells us to be horny rabbits, and by Day 7, to demonstrate one's illustrious forever companion to the public. These instructions contain paradoxes, depending on the stage of evolution. Beyond do and do not is discretion, which we are learning all about right now.
Paradoxes are resolved "seven times over", =1909, אצט, shaza, "to unblind the eyes, to find the one that works."
Work alwayspertains to Shabbos, which means the efforts, even the effort to abstain, yields "good karma." If abstaining or indulding produces bad karma the Shabbos is not being observed. Shabbos is not just on Friday night, it takes place all day long.
So there are fourteen ways to observe the Shabbos: prescriptions and prohibitions that apply to each stage of development denotedf by the Seven Days. This is how contradictions within stages are resolved. This includes the rules of Kashrut which are studied until Shabbos is attained. After Shabbos, Kashrut is no longer an issue.
Ex. The prohibition agaisnt pork is based on the fact pigs are selfish. "you do not eat a pig, he eats you." If you find yourself pigging out, you need to stop. But even still that is not the Kashrut, that is just the first part. Once one conquers the tendencies that cause one to desire pork the Kashrut is achieved. One must get trapped between this duality Seven Times until one knows what to do.
Sirach adds a bunch of Mishnah to this elaborate approach to Miss Behavior, including profit and loss, borrowing and lending, today and tomorrow, all paradoxes:
Paradoxes
9 There may be good fortune for a person in adversity, and a windfall may result in a loss. 10 There is the gift that profits you nothing and the gift to be paid back double. 11 There are losses for the sake of glory, and there are some who have raised their heads from humble circumstances. 12 Some buy much for little but pay for it seven times over. 13 The wise make themselves beloved by only few words,[c] but the courtesies of fools are wasted. 14 A fool’s gift will profit you nothing,[d] for he looks for recompense sevenfold.[e] 15 He gives little and insults much; he opens his mouth like a town crier. Today he lends, and tomorrow he asks it back; such a one is hateful.[f] 16 The fool says, “I have no friends, and I get no thanks for my good deeds.” Those who eat his bread are evil-tongued. 17 How many will ridicule him, and how often![g]
The Values in Gematria ae:
v. 9-10: Adversities vs. windfalls: The Number is 8248, חבדח, havdach, "Do not be a slave or a bondsman. No kidding!"
Havdach is "do crush instead" = Just oppression:
"The verb דכא (daka') is almost exclusively used to describe the effects of oppression, whether wrongful or just. Hence the poor and needy are crushed in court (Proverbs 22:22), Israel's leaders crush their people (Isaiah 3:15) and the wicked crush the righteous (Psalm 94:5). God in turn crushes oppressors (Psalm 72:4) and the wicked (Job 34:25) and even his servant (Isaiah 53:5). On a purely theological stage, YHWH crushes Rahab (Psalm 89:10).
This verb's derivatives are:
The adjective דכא (dakka'), meaning contrite or crushed (Psalm 34:18 and Isaiah 57:15 only).
The identical noun דכא (dakka'), meaning dust. This noun occurs only in Psalm 90:3, which reads "You turn man back into dust and say: 'Return, O children of men'," which might as well be interpreted as "You convert people by making them contrite".
v. 11-12: To raise your head up, be humble. The Number is 9682, טוחב, tuchav, "inside."
The Torah states even Moses had to fall on his face to realize God's will for the newly freed people of Israel. To fall on one's face means to go back to the Torah and find the right Gemara for one's situation.
Moses fell on his face=528, הבח, hivch, "notice what is going on in your heart."
To daven the heart, one must understand the Kabbalah Christmas Tree. Every paradox one encounters during emotional or moral dilemmas can be resolved by consulting the Kabbalah and the Sefirot.
Each Sefir has two poles and each is connected to the rest via stimulus and response. Chief amongst the Sefirot is the space under the belly button, the fireplace. What happens there affects the rest of the network of the lights:
We teach little kids how to be ethical long before the fireplace, Malkhut, lights up as this makes good sense. Later in life is when sexy stuff is appropriate, but not before. Development of the capacity for intimacy and attachment has to come first. So falling on one's face is critical to mature adult responses to the needs of other persons.
v. 13-14: The wise use few words. The Number is 12756, יבזהו, "they will despise him."
The world despises Jewish people in utter contradiction to the scripture. Upon realization their hate is not sanctioned by God they and their faiths must crumble. Jews need not speak a word, God has already ruined them.
I am sad the human race cannot find a reason other than rhythm and rhyme to convince it genocide is wrong, but even still, I'm tickled pink God has revealed His love for us in black and white.
The Book of Esther prohibits harm to Jews, and the Gospel of John and the Acts of the Apostles both proclaim the superior positions of the Jew in religious scholarship. Read them and see for yourselves.
As for this Palestinian shit, if you people think you're going to charge out of the gates covered in spray tan and gun down, rape, pillage and massacre innocent persons, then get a Mosque or a new independent state as a grand prize, you are sorely mistaken.
v. 15: Today He lends, tomorrow, He wants back. The Number is 7261, זבוא, zbo, "the finger of God as a paintbrush." Life washes off as soon as you paint it.
v. 16-17: A fool gets no rewards for his good deeds. The Number is טחוה, tachva, "Turn off, extinguish. Only the just are permitted into heaven."
Tachva is the final state of emulation. It is an earthly phenomena that permits final translation into the Merkava, the domain of the angels at the time of death.
Certain states of being are not permitted in either realm. The ability to turn to the Sefirot as the rationale for one's on and off switches is the key to preparation to exit this life and enter the next. As the Gemara says this must begin at once.
The Gemara and Vajrayana Buddhism call the ability to "bloom into full existence" a lightning flower or a Daka. Dakas as "Johns" interlinear beings that are able to process the kinds of noble paradoxes mentioned in the tract above with great skill. We are going to learn more about this as Sirach continues.
The fact we have established here is without a doubt there is no way for a terrorist, pedophile, corrupt lawyer, politician, and poultry priest to enter heaven. He or she cannot be redeemed, there is no way in. Lightning beings only.

Vanity Of Vanities
Vanity Of Vanities
Vanity is found in 79 verses in the Bible. 3 of which are in the New Testament.
Rom 8:19-21 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
(See Also Eph 4:17, 2Peter 2:18)
Vanity in the Greek is; G3153 ματαιότης From G3152; inutility; figuratively transientness; morally depravity. G3152 μάταιος From the base of G3155; empty, that is, (literally) profitless, or (specifically) an idol.
Vanity is inutility, being useless or unusable. Transient, being morally deprived, empty.
Ecc 1:1-4 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Solomon states that all is vanity. Paul states we were made subject to vanity, but also to be delivered from corruption. Vexation of the spirit is a feeding upon or grasping after. A spirit with affliction, a troubling spirit.Experiences are what make up life. Life living to choose either goodnesses or evils until we have overcome repetitive evils and understand how true life is, which is a life of total love.
Psalms 94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
The only way vanity can be understood is because “the creature itself also shall be delivered”, so all would have to be vanity.
What have you gained from the world through your life experiences that you can attribute to growth in your relationship with God, or better said, through your learning to live a life by way of the two greatest commandments? (See Mat 22:36-40)

OCTOBER 3, 2024
Other Plans
Rick Schin (Pennsylvania, USA)
"'When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me."' - Psalm 94:18 (NIV)
"My professional career had many twists and turns.
I climbed the corporate ladder to become an assistant vice president at a bank. I had expected to spend my entire career at that bank, but organizational changes occurred which ended my banking career after 26 years. I then worked for a non-profit organization, but funding deficiencies there made me leave. I finally retired as a public-school teacher.
It was during all these employment woes that God became most real to me. At no time did I ever feel that God had abandoned me. I could relate to the psalmist’s feelings in our scripture for today. Every time I was out of work and interviewing for another position, I thought, I’m slipping, Lord! But each time I can say that God was kind and saved me.
No matter our circumstances, when we turn our lives over to God, we can trust that God will see us through and renew our hope."' God sees us through changes in work, turmoil of life and just general day to day existence.
TODAY'S PRAYER
"O Lord, when we face disappointments, encourage us to trust in you." Amen.
Psalm 94:16-19
"16 Who will stand up for me against the wicked? Who will help me against evildoers? 17 If the LORD hadn’t helped me, I would live instantly in total silence. 18 Whenever I feel my foot slipping, your faithful love steadies me, LORD. 19 When my anxieties multiply, your comforting calms me down." Tganks be to the Lord; His calming gives us hope yo step forward. I feel blessed by Him. Joe
