25th December >> Mass Readings (USA)
(Christmas Day - Vigil Mass and Mass during the Day)
Vigil Mass
(Liturgical Colour: White)
(Readings for the Vigil Mass, celebrated during the afternoon or evening before Christmas Day)
First Reading
Isaiah 62:1–5
The Lord delights in you.
For Zion’s sake I will not be silent,
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
until her vindication shines forth like the dawn
and her victory like a burning torch.
Nations shall behold your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
you shall be called by a new name
pronounced by the mouth of the Lord.
You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the Lord,
a royal diadem held by your God.
No more shall people call you “Forsaken,”
or your land “Desolate,”
but you shall be called “My Delight,”
and your land “Espoused.”
For the Lord delights in you
and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin,
your Builder shall marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride
so shall your God rejoice in you.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 89:4–5, 16–17, 27, 29
R/ Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant:
forever will I confirm your posterity
and establish your throne for all generations.
R/ Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
in the light of your countenance, O Lord, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted.
R/ Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
He shall say of me, “You are my father,
my God, the rock, my savior.”
Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him,
and my covenant with him stands firm.
R/ Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
Second Reading
Acts of the Apostles 13:16–17, 22–25
Paul bears witness to Christ, the Son of David.
When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue, he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it. Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king; of him he testified, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.’ From this man’s descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.’”
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation

Tomorrow the wickedness of the earth will be destroyed:
the Savior of the world will reign over us.

Matthew 1:1–25
The genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David.
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse, Jesse the father of David the king.
David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon became the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asaph. Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziah became the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile.
After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Christ, fourteen generations.
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Christmas Day - Mass during the Day 
(Liturgical Colour: White)
First Reading
Isaiah 52:7–10
All the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our God.
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings glad tidings,
announcing peace, bearing good news,
announcing salvation, and saying to Zion,
“Your God is King!”
Hark! Your sentinels raise a cry,
together they shout for joy,
for they see directly, before their eyes,
the Lord restoring Zion.
Break out together in song,
O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord comforts his people,
he redeems Jerusalem.
The Lord has bared his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;
all the ends of the earth will behold
the salvation of our God.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.

Second Reading
Hebrews 1:1–6
God has spoken to us through the Son.
Brothers and sisters: In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe,
who is the refulgence of his glory,
the very imprint of his being,
and who sustains all things by his mighty word.
When he had accomplished purification from sins,
he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
as far superior to the angels
as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say:
“You are my son; this day I have begotten you”?
Or again:
“I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me”?
And again, when he leads the firstborn into the world, he says:
“Let all the angels of God worship him.”
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia.
A holy day has dawned upon us.
Come, you nations, and adore the Lord.
For today a great light has come upon the earth.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
John 1:1–18
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing came to be.
What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world,
and the world came to be through him,
but the world did not know him.
He came to what was his own,
but his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God.
And the Word became flesh
and made his dwelling among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth.
John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him.
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

FACES OF DEALTH: Directed by Conan LeCilaire. 
I have seen a lot of horror movies. I even watched the saw franchise before I hit puberty. My point is that when it comes to horror, I have a thick skin. “Faces of Death” however, was challenging to get through. Why? well let’s evaluate. The film was released in 1978 and it is made up of both real and stages scenes of the various ways in which death can occur. The film has a “found footage” perspective making it very difficult to exactly pin-point which scenes are real or fake which in my opinion makes watching this content a very anxious ordeal. The film is narrated by a man named Dr Francis B. Gross. He appears in the film as a Doctor who begins by showing mummified bodies which were held in a tomb in Mexico. After this, the viewers are treated to a series of footage capturing a poor souls’ final moments before their life ends. We see people dying from various and violent ways. The cameras capture: A suicide, animal attacks, gun shots and even animal cruelty. The animal cruelty was the hardest thing for me to watch. There was a scene in which takes place in Egypt in which tourists take part in a disgusting ritual. A live monkey is brought into the room, their head is forced down as the group proceed to bash the poor animals head in and consuming the monkey’s brain. This is one of the scenes I hope were staged as hearing the poor creature screaming in fear and pain really had an impact on me. We are also shown footage of poacher’s mass murdering seals and then ripping their skin off. This was another scene that took real effort to watch as listening to these poor animals cry out was one of the most upsetting things I have ever heard. As we are on the subject of animals there’s a segment in which an alligator has wondered into residential waters and in an attempt to assist the creature a man lost his life. This occurred when the man attempts to catch the animal in an attempt to rescue it. It was then however things got graphic. The alligator pulls the man’s net causing him to fall into the water. Then, the animal grabbed him and performed the “death roll” which is the method these animals use to kill their pray. Luckily, the shaky camera and the dated picture quality made it hard to see any details. All I saw was splashing and then we see the man’s body being dragged out of the water. Thankfully, respect was shown here as an onlooker proceeded to cover the poor mans destroyed remains.  In a way I couldn’t help but agree with Dr Francis as he narrates that this is almost a form of sad poetic justice as man has now become the pray rather than the predator. Yes, I can see the cruel irony in this poor man’s death as the film had just shown men brutally hunt animals and now we observe the tables turning and the animal kingdom getting it’s revenge.  Now, let’s go from bad to worse.Later in the film we are exposed to fatality brought on by our fellow man. We are shown a shoot-out happening between the police and a crazed man who had already slaughtered his family. We see disgracefully clear footage of the battle. Some police officers hit the ground while others try their best to negotiate with the lunatic. This was in vein as only minutes later we see the gunman finally shot down and this is when the video does from awful to a total abomination in my eyes. After the smoke clears and the police go into the house to investigate the camera suddenly lands on 3 dead bodies. One being a woman and the last two appearing to be two small children. The footage is ended abruptly as a police officer shouts at the camera man and pushes him out of the scene. Yes, I am aware that this film was made in the 70s and censoring laws were a far cry from the limitations we face in the present era but seriously? How was this movie even picked up by a studio? Who would fund such a project?Showing the deaths of children is still a risky move for creators to show today never mind 41 years ago so seeing the clear view of murdered children laying with their mother really disturbed me as thanks to this films half staged half real footage it is most likely that this particular video was real and we really saw how the lives of these youths ended. This misrepresentation between imagination and truth made it hard for me to obtain any gratification as I do with the feature horror films, I usually view. Now, let’s discuss another rather upsetting scene which also challenged my perceptions of what was reality and what wasn’t. This is a scene which shows a woman committing suicide. Again, as previously mentioned the dated camera technology made the picture very unfocused so thankfully the horrific scene isn’t that clear. Basically, we see a woman standing on top of a building and as bystanders attempt to help her she jumps and hits the pavement below. Now, from the research I discovered that the scene was real and fake at the same time. How is this? Well, sadly, the first frames in which we see the lady on the ledge were real and so was the initial frames of her jumping and falling to her death. But cinematic intervention interrupted as soon as we see the body hit the ground. The frames in which we see the body are fake thanks to the use of an actress. This is undoubtedly the only aspect of the movie I can support. I’m not saying that all the aforementioned shots of corpses were acceptable and didn’t deserve the same discretion. With that said though, suicide is the most tragic way for a life to end in my opinion as killing yourself shows mass internal pain so I am very happy that they did not show the actual body of the poor woman. Despite my spontaneous complement to this snuff film I will say that this scene still had the distaste of the rest but just more disconnected from the format we have seen thus far.  The disruption of reality and fiction is very prevalent in this picture as I have mentioned but I thought to somewhat lighten the mood I’d discuss one final scene which thankfully was 100% staged. The scene emphases the activities of a cult and the gritty gory rituals they take part in. We are exposed to some of the most disgusting things put on camera. We actually watch as these unbalanced individuals defile a dead body and proceed to take part in group sex while covered in the blood of the deceased. It is the negrophilic aspects of this which makes me thankful that this isn’t real. How do we know it’s fake? Well, the cult leader is actually played by the film’s director and the acting is much to be desired. Fake but cardinally disconcerting.  Now, for the fear of losing my lunch I will not discuss any more scenes from this toxic waste of human nature and discuss the thing I did like. When the film is staged it really does it right and the fact that many viewers including myself couldn’t distinguish where the real footage ended and when the fake stuff stared really proves that the creators did a fantastic job with their camera work, special effects and acting, for the most part. This is what bothered me about this movie. The people behind it could have made a fictional motion picture and sure, it may be treated much the same but through time horror fans would seek it out. Like they did with movies like “Cannibal Holocaust” yes, it too is a disgusting piece of cinema but at least we can turn it off knowing that it was mostly fake and we don’t see real people die. However, I’m sure every turtle on earth would disagree with me on this one.  My point is this, this movie isn’t just gory and disgusting to look at. It is incredibly disrespectful to all the real people whose final moments were used for the sake of shock horror. Where is the human decorum here? Okay, I get why this film was made. It was to shock us as to the many ways our life can end and our biological melancholic inquisitiveness is what causes us to look on. Maybe that is what the film makers were counting on as death is something none of us will avoid and I think it’s only natural that we think of our unavoidable fate. So, would I recommend this film? Not really. If like me you have no regard for your mental state, I’d say go for it. It may even be a fun challenge you can do with your friends to see how far you can get into it before turning it off. Being banned in over 40 countries it’s safe to say this mockumentary has sealed it’s place in horror history.

persistence in faith and humility
we need to see life through the baptism eyes of a child.
Today’s reading of the Scriptures from the New Testament is the 18th chapter of the book of Luke that illuminates this:
He told them a parable, urging them to keep praying and never grow discouraged. The parable went like this:
Jesus: There was a judge living in a certain city. He showed no respect for God or humanity. In that same city there was a widow. Again and again she kept coming to him seeking justice: “Clear my name from my adversary’s false accusations!” He paid no attention to her request for a while, but then he said to himself, “I don’t care about what God thinks of me, much less what any mere human thinks. But this widow is driving me crazy. She’s never going to quit coming to see me unless I hear her case and provide her legal protection.”
Did you catch what this self-assured judge said? If he can be moved to act justly, won’t God bring justice for His chosen people when they cry to Him day and night? Will He be slow to bring them justice? Mark My words: God will intervene fast with vindication. But here’s the question: when the Son of Man comes, will He find anyone who still has faith?
He told another parable—this one addressed to people who were confident in their self-righteousness and looked down on other people with disgust.
Jesus: Imagine two men walking up a road, going to the temple to pray. One of them is a Pharisee and the other is a despised tax collector. Once inside the temple, the Pharisee stands up and prays this prayer in honor of himself: “God, how I thank You that I am not on the same level as other people—crooks, cheaters, the sexually immoral—like this tax collector over here. Just look at me! I fast not once but twice a week, and I faithfully pay my tithes on every penny of income.” Over in the corner, the tax collector begins to pray, but he won’t even lift his eyes to heaven. He pounds on his chest in sorrow and says, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!”
Now imagine these two men walking back down the road to their homes. Listen, it’s the tax collector who walks home clean before God, and not the Pharisee, because whoever lifts himself up will be put down and whoever takes a humble place will be lifted up.
Some people brought infants to Jesus, hoping He would touch them in blessing. The disciples rebuked them for doing so, but Jesus called to the people.
Jesus: Let the little children come to Me. Never hinder them! Don’t you realize—the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children? You can depend on this: if you don’t receive the Kingdom as a child would, you won’t enter it at all.
Public Official: Good Teacher, what do I need to do to inherit the life of the age to come?
Jesus: Why did you just call Me good? No one is good but God��only God. You know what the Hebrew Scriptures command: “Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother.”
Public Official: I’ve already been doing these things—since I came of age.
Jesus: One thing you still lack—one thing; sell all your possessions and distribute the proceeds to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. Then you can come and follow Me.
The man heard these words and sadness came over his face, for his wealth was considerable.
Jesus: What a hard thing it is for those with much wealth to enter the kingdom of God! In fact, it would be easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than it would be for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!
Listeners: Then who can be liberated?
Jesus: Remember, what is humanly impossible is possible with God.
Peter: We have left our homes and followed You.
Jesus: I’m telling you the truth: there is nobody who leaves his house or wife or siblings or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God who will not receive more than he has given up—much more—in this age and in the age to come. He will receive eternal life.
He took the twelve aside and spoke privately to them.
Jesus: Look, my friends, we are going up to Jerusalem. Everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the outsiders. They will mock Him, disgrace Him, and spit on Him; they will scourge Him, and they will kill Him. And on the third day, He will rise from death.
But they had no comprehension of what He was talking about. The meaning was hidden from them, and they couldn’t grasp it.
Picture this:
Jesus is nearing the city of Jericho. A blind man is sitting there, begging by the roadside. He can hear the sounds of the crowd accompanying Jesus, and he asks what’s going on.
Crowd: Jesus of Nazareth is passing this way.
Then the man starts shouting.
Blind Man: Jesus, Son of King David, show mercy to me!
The people in the front of the crowd reprimand him and tell him to be quiet, but he just shouts louder.
Blind Man: Son of King David, show mercy to me!
Jesus stops and tells the people to bring the man over to Him. The man stands in front of Jesus.
Jesus: What do you want Me to do for you?
Blind Man: Lord, let me receive my sight.
Jesus: Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.
At that very instant, the man is able to see. He begins following Jesus, shouting praises to God; and everyone in the crowd, when they see what has happened, starts praising God too.
The Book of Luke, Chapter 18 (The Voice)
Today’s paired chapter of the Testaments is the 26th chapter of the book of Job that also sparks reverence (True fear) of our Creator:
Job explained.
Job (sarcastically): What a great help you are to the powerless!
How you have held up the arm that is feeble and weak!
What sage counsel you have given to me, the unwise!
And what immeasurable insight you have put on display for us!
Whom did you say these words to?
Where did you get such profound inspiration?
The departed quiver below,
down deep beneath the seas
and all that is within them,
The land of the dead is exposed before God,
and the place where destruction lies is uncovered in His presence.
He stretches out the northern sky over vast reaches of emptiness;
He hangs the earth itself on nothing.
He binds up the waters into His clouds,
but the cloud does not burst from the strain.
He conceals the sight of His throne
and spreads His clouds over it to hide it from view.
He has encircled the waters with a horizon-boundary:
the line between day and night, light and darkness.
The very pillars that hold up the sky quake
and are astounded by His reprisals.
By His power, He stilled the sea, quelling the chaos;
by His wisdom, He pierced Rahab, evil of the sea;
By His breath, the heavens are made beautifully clear;
by His hand that ancient serpent—even as it attempted escape—is pierced through.
And all of this, all of these are the mere edges of His capabilities.
We are privy to only a whisper of His power.
Who then dares to claim understanding of His thunderous might?
The Book of Job, Chapter 26 (The Voice)
my personal reading of the Scriptures for monday, may 3 of 2021 with a paired chapter from each Testament of the Bible along with Today’s Proverbs and Psalms
A post by John Parsons that looks at this week’s reading of the Torah and the way that obedience and disobedience matters. our conduct on earth matters, just as the discovery of grace that heals the heart by giving us a new True nature within:
Shavuah Tov, chaverim. This week we have another "double portion" of Torah. Our first Torah portion is called parashat Behar (פרשׁת בהר) which begins with the commandment that an Israelite farmer must let his land rest by remaining fallow every seventh year. This is called the “Sabbatical year” (i.e., shemittah: שמיטה), and the inhabitants of the land were permitted to glean whatever the farmland produced naturally. In addition, the people were told to count seven cycles of seven years – a total of 49 years – and to mark the arrival of the fiftieth year with blasts of the shofar on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). This fiftieth year would be a time of “Jubilee” (i.e., yovel: יוֹבֵל) – a year of “release” for the land and all its inhabitants. All slaves would be set free, all debts would be canceled, and the stewardship of the land would revert to its original titleholders.
Our second Torah reading this week, called parashat Bechukotai (פרשׁת בחקתי), is the final portion of the central book of the Torah (i.e, Leviticus), and it begins with the promise that if the Israelites would walk in the LORD’s statutes (chukkot) and commandments (mitzvot) and perform them, then they would enjoy material blessings and dwell securely in the promised land. Moreover the LORD Himself would make His dwelling with them and would walk among them as their God. The people of Israel would then truly be am segulah (עַם סְגֻלָּה) - a treasured people among all the nations of the earth. On the other hand, if the people disobeyed God and disregarded His commandments, then they would be considered covenant-breakers, and they would experience all manner of distress and tribulation in their lives. They would experience panic attacks, diseases, heartache, and all manner of tsuris (vexation, trouble); their enemies would eat their increase, and those who hate them would rule over them; they would flee at the rustle of a leaf, and their lives would be full of terror and misery – all because they refused to put the LORD God first in their lives. And if after all this trouble the people would still refuse to return to the LORD, the worst punishment of all would befall them: exile from the promised land and banishment from the Presence of the LORD Himself.
Nonetheless, despite their disobedience, God’s love and mercy for Israel would never fully depart, for “if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies – if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land” (Lev. 26:40-42). Moreover, even while they are in exile, in the land of their enemies, God vowed: “I will not cast them away; nor will I ever abhor them to destroy them and to break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God” (Lev. 26:44).
This Torah portion (and the scroll of Leviticus) ends with a discussion of various laws pertaining to vows and tithes that a person may make to contribute towards the upkeep of the Sanctuary. These include dedications of persons, animals, houses, and lands. The scroll of Leviticus ends with the emphatic statement: “These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai” (Lev. 26:46). [Hebrew for Christians]

and another post about the current Omer Count and the significance of its timing:
We are in the midst of Sefirat Ha-Omer (the “Counting of the Omer”), a 49 day countdown that runs from Nisan 16 through Sivan 5. The first day of the omer count began on the day following Passover, and the last day occurs the day before the great jubilee of Shavuot (“Pentecost”). On our Gregorian calendars, these dates run from March 28th until May 16th this year. This is a “countdown period” leading to the giving of the Torah at Sinai and the giving of the Holy Spirit to Yeshua’s disciples...
Thursday, May 6th after sundown (Iyyar 25) marks the 40th day of the Omer Count (i.e., Mem B'Omer), the time associated with the ascension of Yeshua back to the heavenly realm (Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:9-11; Eph. 4:8). A thousand years before the birth of our Savior (מושׁיענו), King David prophesied of the ascension when he announced the Lord's enthronement at the right hand of God (Psalm 110:1; Matt. 22:41-46; 26:64). Recall that Yeshua told His followers that it was good that he would leave them, so that the Holy Spirit (רוח הקודש), the "Comforter" or "Advocate" (παράκλητος), would be given to them. "But I tell you the truth, it is for your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate (ὁ παράκλητος) will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you" (John 16:7). Notice that the word translated as "advantage" here is the Greek word συμφέρω (from σύν, "with" and φέρω, "to carry"), which suggests that we would be given power that "carries us" with the Lord during the trials of this life... Bo, Ruach Elohim (בוא רוח אלוהים) "Come, Holy Spirit..." [Hebrew for Christians]

God Is Love
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love.” (1 John 4:16)
It is said that the most quoted verse in all the Bible is the passage in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Surely that is a magnificent testimony to the love God has for us, and without it none of us would know God. “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
But God “loved righteousness, and hated iniquity” (Hebrews 1:9). How is it that God “commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)? “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10).
Human love is usually reciprocal. That is, we love if and when we are loved in return. Yet, those of us who are twice-born are commanded to love each other, and the godly husband is expected to love his wife like the Lord Jesus unilaterally loved the church. But that kind of love is not normal—it is God’s love in us. “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God” (1 John 4:7).
The English word “love” in its various forms appears over 700 times in the Bible. The vast majority of those references do not attempt to describe God’s love. They focus either on our responsibility to “love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:5) or “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8).
Evidently, we experience God’s love when we are saved and are under obligation to show it as we “work out [our] own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). HMM III

Truth is
You can want kids all you wish but you can’t expect them to want to be here in this life.  It’s a whole other human being we’re talking about.  Your actions can have a bad reaction.  No one has to stay on this earth if they choose not to.  Yes, the grief hurts.  But we all die.  It will hurt sooner or later.  Has anyone ever thought of thinking about what the child would want?  You insist of having kids, you want them so badly, but you don’t stop to think about how they’re affected, how they could be affected by your choice.  Truth is, you are the selfish one because you’re not conscious of how creating a new life causes a repetition of events, a repetition of your defect.  The cycle keeps going and no one is smart enough to realize the meaning behind that.  Soon enough you’re dishing out tough love and emotional neglect when you really wanted to be a mother or a father.  Truth is, you can’t hack it.  But you know that there is a society, a cult, within parenthood, that authorizes you to justify your wrong doing, to justify and defend that you failed your children because you never had it in you to be a parent, much like your parents and their parents.  Some people are born into sexually abusive homes, others, the abuse is religious. For some it’s emotional abuse, and for a lot of us it’s a combination of every silent and obvious abuse there is because no one wants to be smart enough to challenge the status quo. No one is good enough to fix themselves.  Truth is, you fucked up by having kids.  You fucked them up by exposing them to you and your inherited bullshit.  You all fucked up and created a “tough” society that is really just toxic and abusive but you chalk it up as “just the way it is.”  It’s not by happen stance that everything is “just the way it is.”  The fault is on us stupid humans who should stop procreating.  You are not a great person for bullying your kids and then turning away when they get bullied or when you shut them down for standing up for themselves at the sake of protecting your adult friends who are hurting them.  You fucked up!!!  This world sucks because people can’t keep their legs closed and their dicks clipped.  Just let this worthless human race die off, since all it can do is reproduce a replica of the very problem on this earth.  Truth is, I did the right thing by never having kids.  You are the ones who keep falling for the lie of love and marriage and family.  And for what? Because you see it being done and you don’t stop and think, really fucking think.  We tell people that suicide is wrong or to prevent it yet when one cries out to you your response is cold and dismissive.  You fucking idiots! And the majority of you causing pain are christians who love god and jesus, and you profess social justice, yet you scold someone when they express their pain because your mom and dad did it to you and theirs did it to them....WAKE UP IDIOTS, AREN’T YOU SEEING THE FUCKING CYCLE!! NO BECAUSE YOU’RE IN DENIAL.  YOU KNOW FULL WELL THAT WE HUMANS ARE AT FAULT FOR EVERYTHING YET YOU STILL KEEP MAKING MORE!!!!  WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diabolik Lovers Lost Eden ☆Translation☆ Ruki Maniac Epilogue
Tumblr media
Ruki: ......Haa.
Yui: Are you alright?
Ruki: There's no problem......But, I really don't have any good memory from the time where I lived here, after all. I hate to say that, but it's making me feel down.
Yui: But even so......You still wanted to come to this country?
Ruki: ......Yeah.
This is not the time for sentimentality. I'll go investigate whatever I need to, so you stay here.
I made some arrangements so that we can live here for a while without any inconvenience. So you'll be alright even if I'm not around, okay?
Yui: (I guess it means that he doesn't want me to come with him, huh......)
......Yeah, understood. Well, then, I'll be waiting here.
Ruki: I'm sorry to have forcibly brought you along here. Well, then, I'm going.
Yui: Eh......Ruki-kun!
Ruki: What is it?
Yui: I'll be waiting, so......Please, come back soon.
Ruki: ............
Don't look so anxious......It's alright. I'll definitely come back.
Yui: Yeah......I'll be waiting.
Ruki: I'll be back as soon as possible......Nnn.
Yui: (......I suddenly became uneasy and stopped him.)
(For Ruki-kun, being in this place is difficult, so......I'm worried.)
Place: Foreign Country's Town
Tumblr media
Ruki: (......Of course, it's different from the old days.)
(The memories of that country which are engraved in my mind won't ever leave me.)
(Nonetheless, the informations that I was able to obtain in the Demon World were quite limited.)
(That's why I deemed it necessary to come here. In this place......Where I can get as close as possible to Trismégiste's trail.)
(If I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to move forward......If I'm looking for books, I should go to the library, after all.)
Place: Romanian Library
Ruki: (It seems that the only place where the volumes are all gathered is in my country. I knew it, coming here was a wise choice.)
(......There surely are also some things I don't want to know in these books.)
(I have to make up my mind. For Eden and Kou and the other's sake, too......I shouldn't avert my eyes.)
Then, after having gathered all the books I could, I immersed myself in reading for the time being.
And, in this huge pile of books, I found out several things.
First of all, there was indeed a man named Trismégiste who lived in this country.
This man possessed mysterious powers and seemed to have been going around, curing poor people.
There was a story going around that the President at that time had a daughter who was suffering from an incurable disease.
When Trismégiste showed him that he could perfectly cure his daughter's illness, the President began to place a blind trust in him. That's how the man became friend with the President.
But, obviously, there were some people who didn't quite welcome it. Namely, the nobles sitting in Congress and the politicians.
Although, because he won the President's heart, he had been confronted countless times with assassination attempts and people wanting to bring about his downfall, no one has ever managed to bring Trism��giste down.
No matter how dangerous the situations in which he found himself were, that man always resurrected like a phoenix.
--It's the Devil's work. This is what some people, who found it weird to attribute these theatrical resurrections to him simply having good luck, compared this power to.
The President, in the face of these miracles, began to idolize Trismégiste more and more. He seemed to be hanging on to his every word.
The country's decay started from here.
As a result of having been misled by sweet words, the President cast all the people who had been supporting him until then away without thinking.
He began to embezzle public funds and to impose high taxes on the people.
To collect as much tax as possible, he prohibited abortion even though poor people couldn't afford to raise up children.
As a result, the town became flooded with children having been thrown away by their parents and living on the streets or manholes.
That dictatorship lasted many years, but, at last, the time came when the people decided to revolt.
That event was called "The Revolution".
During said Revolution, the President was executed and the people finally gained freedom.
Trismégiste was also executed, as the person behind this dictatorship and the two corpses were exposed in the town's plaza......Or at least it was supposed to have been the case.
However, it appears that the body suddenly disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to him afterward.
--No matter which book I read, the informations about Trismégiste always ended at that.
According to one theory, it is said that the corpse might have been taken away by his followers.
But this is only speculation, nobody knows the truth.
Ruki: (......The informations I found in the Sakamakis' castle were correct.)
(The President's dictatorship. The abandoned children, the Revolution......I remember everything.)
(Although there were some things that didn't concern the me who was a noble until that day, these tragedies were indeed happening at that time.)
(Back then, my arrogant self never thought that I would get involved in these. That's why I stayed ignorant of the situation......)
(The person behind all that......Was Trismégiste. It's all because of that man.)
~Flashback~
Ruki’s father: In addition, because he kept feeding him lies, the President dismissed me! With this happening, how could I be in a good mood!?
~End Flashback~
Ruki: (The reason why my father, who was a merchant as well as a congressman, was discarded, was because that man suggested it.)
(Because of that man, father--)
(......That day, he took his own life.)
(And I didn't only lose my father. Because my father had changed dramatically, my mother began to hate him and left with her lover, abandoning me.)
(Then, I lost my home, my possessions, my family......And was left alone in the world.)
(--If......And I'm only saying if, that Trismégiste turns out to be Karlheinz-sama.......)
(Does it mean that I......My real parents' enemy......I loved him like a father......?)
......Such an absurd thing, it can't be......
~Flashback~
Ruki's mother: --Ruki! Ruki, are you here?
Ruki: Yes, mother. Did you call for me?
Ruki's mother: Aah, you were over there. Hey, do you know what day it is, today?
Ruki: Of course! It's father's birthday, isn't it?
Ruki's mother: Hehe, that's right. Father told me that he would come home early today, so let's celebrate it all together.
Ruki: Yes......I wonder if father will be pleased with my present.
Ruki's mother: Isn't it obvious he'll be pleased? It's a gift from his cute son, after all. He might even cry tears of joy.
Ruki: Fufu, I hope so.
Ruki's father: I'm home. I just got back from work.
Ruki: Ah! Welcome back, father!
Ruki's mother: Hey, Ruki! Don't run in the house!......Hehe, good grief.
~End Flashback~
Ruki: (......There certainly was a period of time during which I resented them for leaving me behind.)
(But until that day when we lost everything, they were good parents I was proud of.)
(My father who had been cornered was drowning himself in sake, and if he hadn't been hard on mother......)
(Even if we had lost our properties, surely my family would never have been separated. My mother wouldn't have abandoned my father and me......)
(If it wasn't for Trismégiste, we could have remained happy......But--)
                                                  ~Flashback~
Karlheinz: --Ruki. There's something I want you to remember.
Tumblr media
Ruki: Yes, Karlheinz-sama. What is it?
Karlheinz: Listen carefully. You shouldn't only believe in the things you can see.
Ruki: ......? What do you mean?
Karlheinz: In this world, sometimes, the most important things can be the ones that you can't see with your own eyes.
You're the only one to decide whether what you see with your own eyes is accurate or not.
That's why you have to be prudent when you want to ascertain things. Since you're a smart boy, I'm sure you'll be able to do that.
Ruki: Understood. If that's what Karlheinz-sama wants.
~End Flashback~
Ruki: (......The only things left in me now are Karlheinz-sama's teachings.)
(I respected that person. That's why I wanted him to acknowledge me.--I didn't want to be betrayed this time.)
(......But, in fact, since the beginning--)
Uh......!
Uuuh......!......Haa, haaa......!
(I have to stop......I shouldn't think about unnecessary things......!)
(It's not a sure thing yet. To think about that kind of things even though I'm not confident......Is wrong......)
(I shouldn't even doubt that person in the first place......!)
Ha......Uh, haa......
???: ......Do you need help?
Ruki: Eh......Don't touch me!!
???: I'm sorry. It's because you didn't seem to be doing well. Did I do something unnecessary?
Ruki: No......I'm sorry, too. Don't mind me......
???: ............
???: Fufu, the damages look critical.
Kino: And you, Yuri, your senses are so bad you didn't notice me even though I was nearby.
So? Yuri. Do you already know what he was looking into just now?
Yuri: Yes, of course.
Kino: As expected of you. Then, can you give me your report along the way? I want to keep observing him for the time being.
Nevertheless......He really reeks of human, after all.
I don't know what he was looking into, but his face was so pale. He can't be called a vampire.
Yui: (......Ruki-kun is taking a while. It's already so late.)
(Could it be that something happened......? Maybe I should go look for him. But to go wandering alone--)
(......! Looks like he came back.)
Welcome home. I'm so glad......I was beginning to worry.
Ruki: ............
Yui: Ruki-kun......?
(It's as if......He can't hear me. Besides, his face is so pale......)
What's wrong? Are you alright......?
Ruki: ......Yeah......You waited for me to eat?
......I'm sorry. Right now, I don't think I can eat anything.
Yui: Did anything happen......?
Ruki: ......I still haven't sorted things out. Please, leave me alone for a while......
Yui: (What on earth happened......?)
Tumblr media
Kino: --He entered his room. It doesn't look like he'll make any more moves for today.
Even so......What was that man's name, again?
Yuri: Trismégiste, Kino.
Kino: That's right, that's right, Trismégiste. When I heard the story, I thought that he was probably a demon......
But that rumor is quite interesting. The one that says that, when the Revolution occurred, he went around to collect corpses in the whole town. I wonder if it's true.
Yuri: Who knows, that's only a rumor.
However, there's still a story going around that Trismégiste had taken away the corpses of the people sacrificed during the Revolution.
Kino: Why did he do that? Is collecting corpses his hobby?
Yuri: Maybe he was bringing them to the graveyard?
Kino: It's Ruki's business, but......Somehow, I'm interested too. I might as well try investigating myself.
Yuri: Then, why don't you try asking the ghouls?
Many of them are originally from around here. Perhaps you'll find some people who'll be able to fill you in.
Kino: I see. Let's do that, then......Maybe there will be some people I might be able to use.

  Truth be told, the existence and frequency of crimes being committed aren’t as mind boggling as I tend to express. The true riddle lies in what type of reward executors of the worst infractions could possibly be dedicating their lives, our lives, towards getting. With obvious and typical financial benefits aside (and threats of murder for noncompliance) there isn’t much room left to imagine other motivations.
What surprises me, I suppose, is that hundreds in power appear to not care what consequences will befall their own families, as a result of being connected to those who participated directly in the destruction and deceptions.
Especially when the hooves of their high and mighty stallions of “justice” are heard thundering across the broad quilt of our faces, each and every day.
In a world chock full of indignant “do-gooders” and exploited child spokespeople who are trained and rewarded to parrot those who hate us with every fiber of their being.
In the future (if there’s one left to be reached) the progeny of today’s criminals will more than likely suffer much of the same humiliations that current descendants of infamous figures have to endure.
I don’t see this habit changing much in the next few generations. As a matter of fact, with average IQs dropping as they are, we’re on a return trip towards average mindsets ruled by dark aged suspicions and fears; still throwing salt over our shoulders and ogling others for traces of  “bad joo joo” from the carriers of such deep-rooted corruption. What an unfair and heavy burden for any human being to carry. When they’ve struggled to build reputations amongst their clans and colleagues..only to be dashed on the grounds of historical evidence and assumptions of genetic tyrannical “cooties”.
Revenge. Disgust. Repulsion. Avoidance. These are the “gifts” those who knowingly destroy vital evidences leave their children. Lifetimes of opportunities dashed for the sake of single lifetime of kicks and privilege great grandpas Bush or Obama couldn’t shake and jollies which great-grand hyenas Clinton and Pelosi refused to drop from their sharp and dentured jaws.
From mortified sons and daughters, related to formerly esteemed editors of magazine dynasties to the innocent grandchild of a doctor forced to answer for tens of thousands of mothers bullied into the forced sterility and insanity. Be it by trial or the final and depressed contemplation of suicide. They will all suffer from this lack of foresight that all, who could have helped us, seem to be struck with.
The following is what I have determined are truths which will eventually drop into the light-with the aid of collectively restored mental functioning. I mention restoration because the ability to “think right” must be restored; or else we’ll never understand nor see the obvious things which we sadly struggle to see now. The things which are killing and sickening  us.
And will continue to kill and sicken us.
The following is a sampling of damages and the “odd and unexplained events” sure to be studied -along with other ongoing “trivial “ and serious offenses that I neither have the time nor the heart to address.
Lack of assistance re critical news for deaf citizens https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/fake-sign-language-interpreter-behavior
http://limpingchicken.com/2017/09/11/deaf-news-new-fake-interpreter-storm-over-hurricane-irma-emergency-newsflash/
An international corporation being forced to offer decent and necessary assisted services for the deaf. Although it’s an older article, there are still ongoing issues. https://www.cnet.com/news/netflix-sued-by-deaf-group-over-lack-of-subtitles/
Mercury, admitted by even the World Heath Organization https://www.who.int/ipcs/assessment/public_health/mercury/en/ as being extremely dangerous, being injected into millions of human beings and infants.
Their echoed assurance of Ethyl mercury being “quite different” from mercury; exposed as a lie thanks to scientific testimonials, including a 2017 report which specifically confirmed the two act in identical ways as far as damages are concerned, with differences being in the time of shelf life and residual tracing.
(Needless to say, this has been the worst and most publicized abuse)
Tumblr media
  The increased crippling and damage caused to newborn babies by induced labor https://www.michigancerebralpalsyattorneys.com/causes-and-risk-factors-of-cerebral-palsy/labor-and-delivery-problems/cerebral-palsy-pitocin-cytotec-labor-inducing-drugs/
under the World Health Organization internationally pushed policies https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44531/9789241501156_eng.pdf;sequence=1
The refusal of assistance for the stopping of genital mutilation https://www.cbsnews.com/news/detroit-federal-judge-dismisses-charges-female-genital-mutilation-case/
  although we are obligated to numerous “women’s rights” laws , with the United Nations making worn out decades of promises to end such violence…which even their own soldiers are immune from being prosecuted under.

View at Medium.com
(you will have to input the following article’s link-from top of the search bar area- manually)
Tumblr media
The following are a few laws and instructions that can, at wretched least, be easily tied to the aforementioned insults and abuses. (Something that may have been worth investigating if we would have had enough human beings in positions of influence, strong enough and fearless enough to have put millions of children’s lives in front of their own narrow interests.)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Which leads us to one parallel factor that is commonly shared by the majority of this worlds’ leaders. And which should evaporate any arguments which begin with idiotic “Bi-partisan” huffing and puffing. ..Ronald Reagan, as both governor and president, frequently referred to the tradition, whether as a moral principle or a reason for specific policies on issues such as abortion. John Kasich, then the governor of Ohio, wanted to set up a new agency to promote Judeo-Christian values. Mitt Romney saw it as “central to America’s rise in global leadership.” President Barack Obama invoked it to eulogize Shimon Peres. Then-candidate Donald Trump vowed he would be “stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values.” And Stephen K. Bannon repeatedly invokes it in his plans to promote European and American nationalism….
(taken from complete Washington Post article which can be read here https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/17/once-judeo-christian-tradition-united-americans-now-it-divides-them/) One can plainly see the spirit of agreement and cooperation includes all parties and differing POVs.
Agreements which include actual legislation that our politicians have been free to make decisions upon , in blatant and unchecked monarchial fashion, for many years. The most shameless molestation of our Constitution-marrying religious matters into the very heart of state affairs.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/102nd-congress/house-joint-resolution/104/text
Finally, we have a last, but not least , “hint” of things not being as we’ve been forced to believe. A “clue” as to things not being as we depended on them being in order to operate within this “loving and respecting one another” snow globe. Choosing to look on the brighter side of matters, it’s a “hint” which can help us better maneuver what precious little is left of our lives, in order to avoid future and oncoming assaults. https://religiondispatches.org/holy-spit-why-do-ultra-orthodox-jews-spit-at-christians/
Never mind this bug eyed and open mouthed  “spit” into our face, regarding the witholding of “assistance” from “unworthy” human beings. 
When an entire fabricated piece of fiction of zombies in the land was vomited out from the guts of CDC instead of real and useful information (that used to be displayed so we could better save our lives) in the event of a true emergency.
https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/zombie/index.htm
It is these obvious damages and evils resulting from these types of connections which will plague the reputations and pain the consciences of the descendants- of the hundreds of leaders, academics, media monopolists, celebrities, clergy and all others…who have decided “to hell” with even the very children they promised to “love and provide” for.
Never mind us -the “dirty and revolting human beings that infect the earth” they rule over and claim embarrassing “superiority” over.
It’s simply a shame to see how many human beings, of supposed impeccable status and reputations, have ended up safeguarding the condition of their legacy with no better regard than pet waste scraped from the bottom of their well-heeled and “Louboutin”ed feet.
The “celebrated” multitude who bare their ugly teeth and have the naked nerve to dare accuse scores of us of “anti-Semitism” ; when in our own families we carry the DNA of mothers who had to watch their babies skulls get crushed in land stealing massacres, fathers who had limbs chopped off in attempts for freedom and those millions of families who carry the wounds of countless extermination programs…where their “betters” used them like any coward who has the audacity to use human shields.
If we were to be a bit more honest and a LOT less vain, we would see that the spiritual obligation to deceive us means we’ve NEVER been protected nor “loved” in the first place..by these all too mortal “men”.
Note;(As he predicted and as tyrants insist we remain terrorized by, as if we’re forever doomed to stay in the 200 B.C.s instead of 2020 A.D., he was murdered in the period before the Bolshevik uprising) The author is slandered (in a Wikipedia article) as being so ignorant as to have compiled a controversial translation of the Judaic documents, risking his very life, with the poorest understanding of the ancient language. As one can see, on occasion, he did include original text-meaning the door is closed on any such careless “fact” It is important work which resulted in one of the bravest moves a human citizen could have even imagined risking in the 15th century..especially while working under the severe eyes of the most dangerous merger of institutions that this world has ever been forced to suffer and exist under.)

                                                 Character Story
Tumblr media
    Born as Princess Eclipsa Butterfly, birthed by Solaria alongside Alphonse as mother and father (also King and Queen of Mewni). Eclipsa was grown under the influence of Solaria’s intention in getting rid of the monster race while mainly raising her in the process. Though she ceases to agree with her mother’s vow and gains feelings for a monster named, Globgor the Prince of Darkness. As she grew to teen, she had met the King of the Spiderbites, Shastacan and soon had to forced to become a love interest not too long after. When she became a teenager, her mother passed away while giving the duty of queenship to Eclipsa. However, in doing so, Solaria demanded Shastacan to marry Eclipsa for the sake of both of their kingdoms. Within her decision of the circumstances, Eclipsa accepted and began to rule Mewni alongside King Shastacan.       Until later. . . The two were very distant throughout the beginning of their marriage, which changed when Shastacan wanted her to bare his children to continue the line of throne. That is when Eclipsa drew the line and ended the marriage by proclaiming her love to Globgor after having her and him secretly meeting to make peace of the feud between Mewmen and monsters and has led her to be forever known as :                   The Queen of Darkness. Eclipsa then left the kingdom due to the accusations, leading her to believe that it was for the best of Mewni if Shastacan ruled alone and she’d leave with Globgor to the Monster Temple. Within this time, the two would get married and have their daughter, Meteora. These events erupted when Shastacan and the Magical High Commission came to find their location, leading for Eclipsa and her family to be claimed as evil and she and Globgor would be sentenced to Rhombulus’ crystal prison time. Meanwhile, Meteora would be sent to Shastacan that soon gave up the monster hybrid for a peasant girl that became of Festivia; which from then on was claimed to be the daughter of Eclipsa and Shastacan prior for when Globgor was said to eat Shastacan. From then on, the two were crystallized as Meteora grew under St.Olga’s teachings. Eclipsa briefly took a break from her crystal when they unfroze her for Moon. The current teen queen needed to learn a spell and the moment Eclipsa told Moon what to do, she was instantly recrystallized. Years later, she was finally put free completely.        During her time out, she has really done her own thing. Though she was first caught free by Star and Glossaryck as she was visiting the Butterfly Castle Garden. After the two had a civil and enjoyable conversation, the Magical High Commission of Mewni intruded and immediately locked Eclipsa away. During the process of lockup, she was sentenced to be recrystallized immediately. However, when Star is aware of Eclipsa’s fate she demands her right to a fair trial; leading Eclipsa’s long wait for the day of court. Until then, she was set under house arrest till the day of trial was to come.       As time flew by, Eclipsa had sporadic appearances with company. Star had some brief conversations with her and Moon approached to begin the adventure with the whereabouts of Meteora as they both wondered the paths of the Royal Archives. Ending up finding out that even they don’t have the story of Meteroa’s life, the plan of finding out Meteora’s story through the Magical High Commission during the trial of Eclipsa Butterfly was made. The day of the court was intense, though to go through it, Eclipsa is questioned with the Box of Truth. Every question that was asked about her claimed crimes were responded with truthful confessions. Though when Eclipsa is led to ask her question to the Commission due to her membership of the Commission herself, she asks for the story of what happened to Meteroa. At first, they claim that they’re unaware of what happened to her. Though when the box exposed their fib, they explain about how Shastcan gave away Meteora for Festivia, also coming to find out that Eclipsa and Star cease to be related. Leaving Eclipsa to be set free and on the search for her long lost daughter.       Later Meteroa was found fighting against Star and Moon. Soon to have Eclipsa jump into the fight and finish her daughter off by casting her Black Velvet Inferno spell. Star is impressed by the dedication Eclipsa has for Mewni and hands her the wand of leadership. In doing so, Eclipsa is now Queen once again and carries Meteroa as a reverted baby. Now that her powers have returned with her wand, she makes her way to the Temple to find the crystalized Globgor. Succeeding to reunite the presence of her family...        Shortly she is leading Mewni with Meteroa as Princess and she commits her life trying to protect Mewni with Star’s help and freeing her husband from his crystal so that she will have her King to rule alongside her and her princess. However, the effort was long, but shortlived when Eclipsa and Meteroa’s coordination began. Before the event would come to start Moon and Rhombulus would free Globgor to prove the family’s unworthiness. However, their plan was foiled when the truth about the 3 was exposed to the kingdom.

The Truth Concerning the Work in the Age of Redemption
My entire management plan, which spans six thousand years, consists of three phases, or three ages: first, the Age of Law; second, the Age of Grace (which is also the Age of Redemption); and finally, the Age of Kingdom. My work in these three ages differs according to the nature of each age, but at each stage it accords with man’s needs—or rather, it varies according to the tricks that Satan employs in My war against it. The purpose of My work is to defeat Satan, to make manifest My wisdom and omnipotence, to expose all Satan’s tricks and thereby to save all of humanity, which lives under its domain. It is to show My wisdom and omnipotence while at the same time revealing the hideousness of Satan. Moreover, it is to teach My creations to discriminate between good and evil, to recognize that I am the Ruler of all things, to see clearly that Satan is humanity’s foe, the lowest of the low, the evil one, and to make the difference between good and evil, truth and falsehood, holiness and filth, greatness and baseness, as clear as day.
This way, ignorant humanity may bear witness to Me that it is not “I” who corrupt humanity, and only I—the Creator—can save humanity, can bestow upon them things for enjoyment; and they may come to know that I am the Ruler of all things and Satan is merely one of My creations, which later turned against Me. My goal, in dividing My six-thousand-year management plan into three stages, is this: to allow My creations to be My witnesses, to know My will, to see that I am the truth. And so, the first stage of My work was to promulgate the law; this was the time when Jehovah led the people. The second stage was to begin the work of the Age of Grace in the villages of Judea. Jesus represents all the work of the Age of Grace; He was incarnated and crucified, and inaugurated a new age. He was crucified in order to complete the redemptive work, to end the Age of Law and begin the Age of Grace, and so He was called the “Great Captain,” the “Sin Offering,” the “Redeemer.” Thus the work of Jesus differed in content from the work of Jehovah, though they were the same in principle. Jehovah began the Age of Law, established the home base, the birthplace, of His work on earth, and issued the commandments; these were His two accomplishments, which represent the Age of Law. Jesus’ work was not to issue commandments, but to fulfill the commandments, thereby heralding the Age of Grace and concluding the Age of Law which lasted two thousand years. He was the trailblazer, ushering in the Age of Grace, yet redemption remained the core of His work. And so His accomplishments were also twofold: opening up a new age, and completing the redemptive work through His crucifixion. Then He departed. At that point, the Age of Law came to an end and mankind entered into the Age of Grace.
Jesus’ work was done in accordance with the needs of man in that age. His task was to redeem humanity, to absolve them of their sins, and so all His disposition was humility, patience, love, piety, forbearance, mercy, and lovingkindness. He blessed humanity richly and brought them grace in abundance, and all things for enjoyment: peace and happiness, Jesus’ tolerance and love, His mercy and lovingkindness. That in those days man could enjoy an abundance of such good things, being at peace in his heart and consoled in his spirit, and being sustained by the Savior Jesus, was a consequence of the age in which he lived. In the Age of Grace man had been corrupted by Satan, and so the work of redeeming all humanity required an abundance of grace, infinite forbearance and patience, and even more, an offering adequate to atone for humanity’s sins. What people saw in the Age of Grace was merely My sin offering for humanity, Jesus. And they knew only that God could be merciful and forbearing, saw only Jesus’ mercy and lovingkindness. This was because they lived in the Age of Grace. So before they could be redeemed, they had to enjoy much grace that Jesus bestowed on them; only this was beneficial to them. This way, they could be forgiven of their sins through their enjoyment of grace, and could have the chance to be redeemed through enjoying Jesus’ forbearance and patience. Only through Jesus’ forbearance and patience were they capable of receiving absolution and enjoying the abundance of grace bestowed by Jesus—just as Jesus said, “I have come not to redeem the righteous but sinners, allowing their sins to be forgiven.” If Jesus had been incarnated with the disposition of judgment, curse, and intolerance of man’s offenses, then man would never have had the chance to be redeemed, and would have remained forever sinful; and so the six-thousand-year management plan would have progressed no farther than the Age of Law. The Age of Law would have gone on for six thousand years, man’s sins would have grown greater in number and more grievous, and the creation of humanity would have been for naught. Men would only have been able to serve Jehovah under the law, but their sins would have exceeded those of the first created humans. The more Jesus loved mankind, absolving them of their sins and giving them enough mercy and lovingkindness, the more mankind was capable of being saved by Jesus, called the lost lambs that Jesus bought back at a great price. Satan could not meddle in this work, because Jesus treated His followers as a loving mother treats the infant in her arms. He did not grow angry at them or despise them, but was full of consolation to them; He never got furious among them, but forbore with their sins and turned a blind eye to their foolishness and ignorance, such that He said, “forgive others seventy times seven times.” So His heart reformed the hearts of others, and in this way did the people receive absolution through His forbearance.
Though Jesus, being God incarnate, was utterly without emotion, He always comforted His disciples, provided for them, helped them, and sustained them. No matter how much work He did or how much suffering He endured, He never made excessive demands of the people, but was always patient and forbearing of their sins, such that in the Age of Grace He was kindly called “lovable Savior Jesus.” To the people in those days, mercy and lovingkindness were what Jesus had and was. He never remembered people’s transgressions or let their transgressions affect how He treated them. Because that was a different age, He often bestowed plentiful food and drink upon the people so that they could eat their fill. He treated all His followers kindly, healing the sick, driving out demons, raising the dead. In order that the people would believe in Him and see that all that He did was done earnestly and sincerely, He went so far as to resurrect a rotting corpse, showing them that in His hands even the dead could come back to life. In this way He persevered silently and patiently among them in His redemptive work. Even before He was nailed to the cross, Jesus had already borne the sins of humanity and become a sin offering for mankind. He had already opened the way to the cross in order to redeem mankind long before He was crucified. At last He was nailed to the cross, sacrificed Himself for the sake of the cross, and He bestowed all of His mercy, lovingkindness, and holiness upon mankind. He persisted in tolerating people, never seeking revenge, but absolving them of their sins, exhorting them to repent, teaching them to have patience, forbearance, and love, to follow in His footsteps and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the cross. His love for the brothers and sisters exceeded His love for Mary. The principle of His work was to heal the people and drive out their demons, all for the sake of His redemption. No matter where He went, He treated all who followed Him with kindness. He made the poor rich, the lame walk, the blind see, and the deaf hear; He even invited the lowliest and most destitute, the sinners, to dine with Him, not shunning them but always being patient, even saying, “When a shepherd loses one sheep out of a hundred, he will leave behind the ninety-nine to seek the one lost sheep, and when he finds it he will rejoice greatly.” He loved His followers as a ewe loves its lambs. Though they were foolish and ignorant, and were sinners in His eyes, and furthermore were the dregs of society, He saw these sinners—whom others despised—as the apple of His eye. Since He favored them, He gave up His life for them, as a lamb was offered on the altar. He went among them like their servant, letting them use Him and slaughter Him, submitting to them unconditionally. To His followers He was the lovable Savior Jesus, but to the Pharisees who lectured the people from a high pedestal He did not show mercy and lovingkindness, but He loathed and detested them. He did not do much work among the Pharisees, only occasionally lectured them and rebuked them; He did not redeem them, or perform signs and wonders among them. He reserved His mercy and lovingkindness for His followers, enduring for the sake of these sinners till the very end when He was nailed to the cross, bearing every humiliation until He fully redeemed all humanity; this was the sum total of His work.
Without Jesus’ redemption, mankind would live in sin all the time, and become the children of sin, the descendants of demons. If that continued, Satan would take up residence on earth, and all the earth would become its habitation. But the redemptive work required mercy and lovingkindness toward mankind; only through it could mankind receive absolution and at last be qualified to be made complete and fully gained. Without this stage of the work, the six-thousand-year management plan would not have been able to go forward. If Jesus had not been crucified, if He had only healed the people and exorcised their demons, then the people could not have been completely absolved of their sins. The three and a half years that Jesus did His work on earth completed only half of His redemptive work; then by being nailed to the cross and becoming the likeness of sinful flesh, by being handed over to the evil one, He completed the work of crucifixion and mastered mankind’s destiny. Only after He was delivered into Satan’s hands was mankind redeemed. For thirty-three and a half years He suffered on earth, was ridiculed, slandered, and forsaken, was even left with no place to lay His head, no resting place; then He was crucified, His whole being—an immaculate and innocent body��being nailed to the cross, and underwent all manner of suffering. Those in power mocked Him and whipped Him, and the soldiers even spat in His face; yet He remained silent and endured until the end, submitting unconditionally to the point of death, whereupon He redeemed all of humanity and thereby was permitted to rest. The work of Jesus represents only the Age of Grace; it does not represent the Age of Law and is no substitute for the work of the last days. This is the essence of Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace, the second age of mankind—the Age of Redemption.

Barwala sitting on the brink of a health disaster: Dayanand Vats
Tumblr media
For residents of Barwala, these are harrowing times...In addition to the heavy smog cover engulfing their area, myriad illegal industrial units have been emitting hazardous poisonous gases as a result of which local dwellers are experiencing various health related complications. Barwala, a village in North West Delhi Tehsil in North West Delhi District enjoys prominence due to its Heliport, and also because Barwala Heliport road happens to be the key link road to Bawana from Rohini. The polluting units have been grossly violating environmental norms by functioning illegally, thus resulting in soil-water pollution, besides clogging the drains. Local dwellers are complaining of breathing problems and in general, are finding great difficulty leading a normal life. Ironically, while the matter has been brought to the attention of the competent authorities such as Delhi CM, area MP, DC North West and SDM, nothing much has progressed. The suffering of the residents continues unabated, and with every passing day, the problem is only worsening with no solution. An aggrieved Dayanand Vats, President of Barwala RWA moans, “Situated at a short distance from the Rohini Heliport in Pooth Khurd Village’s Laldora area, numerous unauthorized pickling units have been making life excruciating for us due to unrestrained emission of toxic gases coupled with emanation of stench. Barwala today resembles a large ‘chamber of toxic gas’ thanks to the unremitting emission of lethal effluents from various pickling units in the vicinity. Albeit, the matter has been reported to the concerned officials, there has been no respite for us so far. Every day is a living hell for the local citizens, and the authorities seem to maintain their nonchalant callous attitude over our entire sordid saga. The CM of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal is in the know too, but that also has not altered the status quo. A mass protest by residents too failed to wake the authorities from their deep slumber. Asthmatic patients are indubitably the worst hit, and to aggravate the situation, there have been reports of other ailments like eye swelling, nasal congestion, running nose, chest congestion, shallow breathing, wheezing cough and body aches from our area. It seems imprudent on the part of the authorities to keep the focus only on prevention of crop burning and vehicular pollution, and overlook the gravity of damage caused by the emission of toxic gases from illegal pickling units too. The pickling units operating in the vicinity of our residential habitats have been our bane as they have lead to all sorts of health hazards for innocent inhabitants of the area. The perplexed residents are sustaining in a harrowed existence, and a solitary visit to our area will show how we are surviving out of forced inhuman environ conditions. Difficult to imagine the existence of human settlements in an area surrounded by illegal units that reeks of foul smelling atmosphere and killer poison gases or fumes. The shocking truth is that the air is heavy petite foul smelling nauseating around with another ugly face of scattered garbage wastes all around spilling even on the roads. The regular burning of wastes by the unmindful authorities at random causes more adversity. The incessant fires end up often polluting air with harmful poisonous gases and stuffing the atmosphere with thick smokescreens nullifying visibility on one hand, and making commuting almost impossible as one cannot even stand in open. The suffocating air is resulting in serious respiratory problems, and is on the threshold of claiming innocent lives. The children are the worst sufferers. The situation is bound to become more precarious with the advent of a foggy weather. What aches all the more is that we have perpetually participated in plantation drives for the sake of protecting our environment and Mother Earth. The future seems bleak, and if something is not urgently done, it might be too late in the day to make amends. We have pinned all our hopes now on the National Green Tribunal (NGT), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the SC mandated (Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA). NGT that was established under the National Green Tribunal Act 2010 for effective and expeditious disposal of cases relating to environmental protection and conservation of forests and other natural resources including enforcement of any legal right relating to environment and giving relief and compensation for damages to persons and property and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
”Sharing his perspective in this context, eminent microsurgeon and author Dr Anuj opined, “It is a gross violation sanctified under International Laws to run illegal units that emit poisonous gases and fumes within a striking distance of any human habitat. The families residing in Barwala today are witness to the nightmares every day. On one hand, there are ambitious plans of making the capital a smart and sustainable city, and on the other hand, some portion of the city is left exposed and vulnerably to hazardous emissions. If this isn’t hypocrisy, then one wonders what is ? If the government and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) could get the whip cracking on all those polluting the environment, why have they not paid heed to the just plight of the Barwala residents who are finding extremely tough to combat the ill effects of pollution. It doesn’t require someone to be a health expert to enlist the repercussions of air pollution as those who are smitten by it can best describe the state of their own health problems which have aggravated over the passage of time, as a result of the polluted air, or smog as we may term it. Citizens across the length and breadth of the country need to undertake a solemn pledge that henceforth they would not shy away from taking responsibilities and initiatives in matters pertaining to environment and global warming. The collective, and persistent sincere efforts are bound to improve the overall air quality, thereby ensuring a healthy lifestyle for one and all.”
