which Earth is at the center of the Universe with the sun, moon, planets and
stars revolving about it in circular orbits. Ptolemy, 2nd Century

system of the time Christ walked the earth. Thus the poet uses it as a symbol
of the times.

Sorrows of a Non-mother!
The sorrows of a mother
That never was—
Goes on and on!
After an abortion; it is
Liken to a plane crash
In the desert—
That holds shadows under its
Wings for a lifetime.

conception, and the heart beats, then at four weeks the brain waves can be
measured, and you can even see the infant’s fingerprints. / Note 2: The Early
church frowned on abortion, considered it murder, Didache: 2; even for
therapeutic abortion, which is not biblical, perhaps because, it was too
indifferent or absurd to even consider.
Note 3:
Biblical references: Psalm 11:7/139; Isaiah 8:20; Genesis 9:6 & 1:27; Luke
1:41; Ex 21; Job 10; Jeremiah 20; 1 John 3; Deut. 22; Didache: 2.

Spanish Version
¡PENAS DE UNA MUJER
NO-MADRE!
Las penas de una mujer
Que nunca fue madre
¡Continúa y continúa!
Luego de un aborto;
es como un avión estrellado
En el desierto
—lleva sombras bajo sus
alas de por vida—.

The Master Sin!
The scribes said to Christ:
“By the Prince of devils you cast out devils” (Mark 3)
Christ rebuked them: “How can Satan cast out Satan?”
What was he really saying—: “Look deeper, only a stronger man can
bind a less strong man…!”
Thus, the scribes were on the edge of blaspheme! (Romans 1:28 –
32)
Written
11-11-2015 (No: 4908)
Notes 1: “All
sins as shall be forgiven…but he that blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has no
forgiveness.” (Mark 3)
Note 2: What
exactly is Blaspheme? The willful
rejection of the Son of God, when all evidence is there. And the Holy Spirit
the only one whom can call a soul forward is willfully rejected, at the last
breath of life!
Note 3:
Example: We see in the story of ‘Ethan
Brand’ how he committed himself by conversing with Satan and his demons.
Embracing the devil and his fends, knowingly in place of God’s Holy Spirit,
casting out mankind and his brotherhood, and he did this to the very end. For
all sins can be forgiven, lest you shame the work Christ did going to the
cross. Hence, there is no sin unforgivable, while you live.
Note 4: John 6:
Mark 3; Isaiah 1:18; John 1:7
Note 5: Insight
by Pope Francis, 2015 & Jimmy Swagggart Ministries from notes taken in
1983, and the King James Bible.

The Mediator
Who is holy?
Who is perfect?
Who can say “I’m already saved?”
Salvation is a path that Jesus inferred
One must follow:
By putting aside pride!
Rivalry too!
Indifference—
Laziness
And compromise!
It expresses one’s faith in Christ!
It forgives from the Heart!

from a lecture by Pope Francis, 12-6-2015; #4946 (12-7-2015)

The Visiting Demon
You complain the demon lives in your house—
Who brought Him there?
How did he find his way?
Lest he followed the soul most rampant…
As he usually does!
Thus, such a person should not grumble
When the demon begins to pay a visit—
A word to the wise: know the thing that beats
The drum to which the devil dances.

The Intercessor
(Mary, Mother
of God)
At the wedding feast of Cana—
Jesus performed his first miracle.
The fiesta has run out of wine!
What follows?
Instructions to the servers by Mary…
What does Mary say?
First she tells the servers to do
What Jesus tells them…
Next, she reminds Jesus by saying:
“They have no wine…”
So does she have influence?
Yes, of course, and tack.
Can we call her ‘The Intercessor?’
They got the wine!

sacred theory, inspired in part by Maria Enrique a Garcia (University of
Dayton), whom used in part this theme for her dissertation.

Togetherness
(Inspired by
Pope Frances)
The family that eats together doesn’t always speak together, at
the dinner table.
Why is that?
More often than not you’ll find s/he has a cellphone in one hand,
while the other hand is twanged with: numbers, symbols, and pictures!
Face down, spellbound as in a trance, nothing is said,
togetherness dead!
For what?
Excess attachment to technology, the new arrival.

The Devil’s Novel
There is a spell hidden in a devilish novel, I believe!
Devil-leave-laced, like a bookworm eating away at the reader’s
soul,
Lulling it to Tartarus, or some higher level in Hell’s chambers.
Thus, the devil gets his fish-hooked; entangles him like a spider
to a fly
Caught in his web…
Burn the book, you’ll burn the imp out of it.

Structure of the Soul
((”Construction of the Soul”) (Spiritual
Matter)) Part II of III
Upon
death the soul becomes all-cosmic;
That
is, part of the overall Universe which makes it—
in its own unopposed life and likeness—
material; —thus,
It
remains in the world of matter, and history—this is the place
Where
matter is formed into spirit—; it now is in the process of
becoming (building
blocks man has yet to discover).
The
history within the soul will shape the matter and spirit into
its rightful form.

Alvaro’s Poem
When a child does
wrong, let him not do it over and over—
To the point he forms a desire towards it!
Why?
In the long run he will suffer… because you have
let the
Harmful form.
