They Come From Dust Part Seven
Mason woke up before dawn. He heard Jimmy and went to see how he was doing. "Hey, old man, what's up?"
"I was dreaming. I keep seeing Carrie drowning, but I actually never saw her go."
Mason said nothing. Then, he asked, "Who shot you?"
"I don't know. Some one in an abandoned house on the road after we left the tree just shot at us. I never saw the person."
"Chaos, anarchy and fear, said Jimmy" Mason again said nothing. "Let me make you some coffee and breakfast. we have food here. And, then, I want to try the radio again."
The two women were still sleeping when Jimmy and Mason tried the shortwave. They heard a woman's voice, and Mason knew it was the same one he had heard for a second the day before. He thought of Tokyo Rose.
"Radio Free America is proud to announce a treaty made yesterday with the Pan-American countries. Now, all of Canada, the United States and Mexico and the three remaining Central American States not destroyed by the tidal wave, Maximus, will be under one government temporarily. We are also proud to announce that the son of President Taylor-O Melaghlin,will be temporarily taking the oath of office as an interim president. Patrick Michael O Melaghlin, son of the lately deceased Thomas Sean Taylor O Melaghlin, will be sworn in tomorrow on Capital Hill, in the rubble of the United States Congress."
The feed ended abruptly. Mason stared at the radio, and Jimmy said "Wow" in a loud voice.
Patrick Michael O Melaghlin, the only son of the late president, was a known genius. He graduated from Princeton at the age of ten and then graduated in three years with a doctorate in International Relations from Harvard. He was now thirteen years old,
"Blast,"grumbled Jimmy. "Blessed Anti-Christ." Mason looked at the floor.
"I knew his mother, Karen O Melaghlin." Jimmy stared at Mason. "What?"
"When I was in the army, Mrs. O Melaghlin was entitled to military escort. I was a regular. You remember what happened to her?"
"She was killed by one of her bodyguards."
"Yes, and then he was shot by one of our escort sergeants. I resigned almost immediately. It was all planned, you know. She knew too much. I went back to university and became a scientist. I wanted to work with hard data, not false orders. Somehow, they let me go."
Jimmy mumbled something about the obvious. But why let a teenager be president? Yes, he was ultra-intelligent, knew various languages and was obviously, when he grew up, going to be a handsome man. "I just don't get it. I don't get this move, " Jimmy said.
"Patrick is not Karen's son," Mason added. Just then, Janet work up out of her deep sleep. She almost fell off the sofa.
"He is the Pied Pieper," Mason said quietly. Mason got up off the floor and went to wake up Brandy. As he walked to the bedroom, Mason wondered if they could get to the reservation in a day. "Not with Jimmy like this..." he thought.
He know wished he had made more contingency plans. And, where was Adam?

Simple Words from A Great Saint
It is an important matter for beginners in prayer to start off by becoming detached from every satisfaction and to enter the path solely with the determination to help Christ carry the cross like good cavaliers, who desire to serve their king at no salary since their salary is certain. We should fix our eyes on the true and everlasting kingdom which we are trying to gain.
Life of St. Teresa of Avila, 15:11

Both Clarendon Street Church and Whitefriars are celebrating the 500th year of the birth of St. Teresa of Avila. I hope those in Ireland, and especially Dublin, will take advantage of the various concerts and exhibits which are scheduled at both Carmelite churches. One of the exhibits notes that St. Teresa is a saint for our troubled and unsettled times. Let us remind her in prayer to help us. I put some links to posts on this blog about her. And, today, I remind myself of this...
Let nothing trouble you, nothing frighten you. All things pass--save God Who does not change. Be patient, and at last you shall find fulfillment. Trust in God, He shall not fail you. god alone is all.

For the rest, like the Great Teresa, this road was strewn with rocks and she met with dangerous spiritual crevices. One only has to read her writings to see this hard journey. Today is the Feast Day of St. Teresa of Avila.

| Top story: March For Life returns to Washington D.C. The annual March For Life in Washington D.C. may be viewed on the following link:http://marchforlife.org/ The march will begin at 5pm, GMT (12pm EST). This year’s March For Life will centre around the theme of “Every Life is a Gift” which will seek to “draw attention to the pre-born populations that are at the greatest risk for abortion: those who receive a prenatal disability diagnosis”. “The March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this sombre anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand.” [December 11, March For Life] Yes and No camps decide on strategy ahead of Irish same-sex marriage referendum Ahead of the planned referendum on same-sex marriage to be held in the Republic of Ireland, groups campaigning both for and against same-sex marriage have begun to plan their campaigns. The referendum will seek to change the country’s constitution on the definition of marriage. One campaigner in favour of a change to the constitution said, “This is just about providing the same legal protections for families of same-sex couples that already exist for heterosexual couples”. Archbishop Eamonn Martin commented while appearing on ‘Newstalk’, “We make our position clear not just from a faith point of view but also because we believe it is good for children, that it’s good for family and it’s good for society to preserve the uniqueness of marriage as we have traditionally understood it,” [20 January, Irish Times] Pope Francis: large families know every child is a blessing Pope Francis stated in this week’s Wednesday address that he is consoled when large families welcome children. The current pontiff reiterated the words of his predecessors by saying, “it is a consolation and hope to see so many large families that welcome children as a true gift from God. They know that every child is a blessing”. Pope Francis went on to say that large families do not cause poverty but that it is caused by an economic system which “has removed the human person from the centre and has replaced him with the god of money.” Pope Pius XII famously stated: “Large families are the most splendid flower-beds in the garden of the Church.” [22 January, Aleteia] Abortion Obama claims Americans can disagree about abortion while threatening to veto pro-life bill [20 January, Life News] Pro-life senator delivers rebuttal against Obama’s State of the Union address [20 January, Yahoo news] Taking the Pill for five years may double risk of brain tumours [22 January, The Telegraph] Family Issues How to live once you have been branded ‘anti-gay’ [January 7, The Federalist] Christian judge suspended because of his Christian beliefs [20 January, LifeSiteNews] Liberal Catholic lay group pledges support for SSM in Ireland [20 January, Irish Times] Union of Students in Ireland organise rally supporting SSM [20 January, The Outmost] Rhoslyn Thomas Youth & Education officer Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) www.spuc.org.uk 0207 820 3140 07837687344 |
Reminder from a reader
1 Peter 5:10 Douay-Rheims Bible
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.
Not Enough Missionaries
St. Francis Xavier wrote that China was ready for conversion but that there were not enough missionaries. Even in his century, priests were lacking to send abroad.
Now, we have governments which are not allowing missionaries to enter their borders, and some are first-world countries.
To believe that there will be millions of Christians coming into the Church is a dream because there are millions of people who have no access to the sacraments.
Yes, we can all baptize and in emergency should, if there is no priest around. However, missionary work is not merely baptizing people, but catechizing them, nurturing them through the sacraments.
People are dying without being able to become Catholics. In your small area of influence, missionize now, evangelize now.
Guest Blogger Shares Aussi Disability Information
Prior to Australia’s federation in 1901, persons who were blind or vision impaired were forbidden to travel interstate not out of colonial concern for our well-being or even liability whilst en route, but despite our wealth, standing and level of independence as persons with a disability, due to said disability, we were automatically labeled indigent. Travel permissions were provided by the government on an individual basis as needs arose.. We were not allowed to vote either (male or female, despite South Australia having enacted near universal suffrage in the late 1890’s till after Federation). Increasingly, governments are enacting draconian laws in the guise of assistance that will hurt the disabled. Persons with a disability are the unseen minority who have suffered savagely under totalitarian regimes repeatedly during the twentieth century; Hitler’s Germany introduced and perfected its killing skills on we the disabled.
Murder of the Handicapped
and
Nazi Killing of the Disabled
To heck with Godwin’s law, to put it bluntly.
Forced sterilisation of disabled persons in Australia continued to be commonly practiced, sometimes without the knowledge of said individuals themselves, up until the early 1980’s and has not yet disappeared from our nation altogether despite rampant actavism by disability groups.
During an Early Childhood Special Needs lecture given at the University of Western Sydney in late 2007, it was revealed that 90% of unborn children with Downes Syndrome in Australia never draw a single breath!! God help us!! Back in 1970, I was born 25 September, when I should have come into the world on 25 December, weighing only 750g. The doctors gave me 24, then 48 hours, then a week. After four months in hospital in a 90% oxygen atmospheric environment, I was released to my family. The cost was the loss of almost all my vision, along with additional moderate yet irritating health conditions. Nowadays, would Peter Singer et al allow me to live? It appears he has disturbing designs for those of us born with disability or those of us who acquire it soon after birth.
Persons with a disability have even lost our dedicated voice within the Australian government.
In new South Wales, persons with a vision impairment or blindness were denied compulsory education until 1944, and even then, only until the age of eleven.
Some blind trailblazers attempted to go to university in Australia as early as the late 1890’s in the case of Tilley Aston (Victoria) and the early 1930’s in the case of Mercy Dickenson (Queensland) these efforts were either unsuccessful (sadly in Tilley Aston’s case) or only hard won after much volunteer assistance re Mercy Dickenson. re help with the transcription of print material into useable formats. Compulsory provision of assistance for students with disability at tertiary level e.g. accessible buildings for students in wheelchairs, sign interpreters, transcribers for amputees and those with paralysis, provision of Braille, electronic format and loan of expensive blindness technology that often costs in the thousands to allow a person with vision impairment or blindness to do what a sighted person does for free with their eyes did not come into effect until 2005. Those who struggled as pioneers relying on family or volunteers to read aloud to them have commented candidly regarding the permanent psychological cost, a mark or scar if you will, that they live with even down to this day due to the immense stresses brought about by such conditions. Yet faculty at large Australian tertiary institutions continue to actively hamper promising teaching undergraduates re placement into the mainstream schooling system, with government and independent authorities colluding by hampering the accreditation process for blind and vision impaired candidates; ludicrous considering blind teachers have taught within the sighted school system in the US since the 1920’s, as revealed in the amazing work ‘the Unseen Minority’ by Frances A. Koestler, a fascinating and sometimes chilling account of blindness history within said nation.
It is within this book that I learnt of the amazing Fr. Klein who single handedly, approximately two centuries ago back in the early 1800’s devised a systematic training of guide dogs and their handlers that has remained largely unchanged to this day, forming the core of the modern guide dog movement that emerged in Germany during the closing years of the first world war. Fr. Klein deserves at least consideration in matters of elevation to the altar - a patron saint of the dog guide movement would be a wonderful gift of Holy Mother Church indeed! But I digress. I do fear for our lot in the coming years and decades. As Mark Twain is credited with having said, ‘History does not always repeat, but it always rhymes’.

They Come From Dust Part Six
Ten hours passed and Mason returned without Father. Father Gibson would not be coming back for quite sometime. But, Mason had a huge package under his arm, something wrapped in paper.
"A short-wave radio with an independent generator...Father Gibson had two in his old rectory, where we stopped on the way. It has been vandalized, but this was in the attic."
Mason set up the generator which was run on propane gas. Within a short period of time, he was getting a signal. Then, crackling sounds, and then, amazingly, a voice.
Mason asked Brandy to turn down the gas lamps and sit next to him. This is what they heard: "Radio Free America On The Air" with a woman's voice speaking.
But, just as they were about to listen to some type of broadcast, someone pounded on the door. Mason reached for a revolver.
"Brandy, go into the back room by the window. If I shout go, leave." Brandy nodded. She knew better than to argue at a time like this.
Mason went to the door. "Who is it?"
A weak voice answered, "Jimmy, with Janet. Hurry."
Mason unlocked the three locks and Janet stumbled in with Jimmy leaning on her arm."He's been shot."
Mason helped the two in and re-locked the doors. Brandy came out of the back room and quickly assessed the need. She put a kettle on for hot water.
"What happened?"
"We had great luck finding two great guys get us to Janet's parents' house. All was fine for one week and then, we were invaded by thugs. Janet's parents were killed outright. These guys had guns, and we did not, at least not with us. We were eating at the time. It was horrible."
They strapped us together and bundled us into a car. I do not know why they did not kill us. Two stayed at the house and the third one took us to the river. Needless to say, they dumped us in, all tied up together."
Brandy was weeping silently.
"I managed to get out of the straps and saw Janet floundering. I could not see Carrie anywhere. It was dark by this time"
"Stop talking, " demanded Mason. "You can tell us later."
"I can finish the story," said Janet. "I am a good swimmer and found my way to the shore with Jimmy, but we lost Carrie. We waited laying low to make sure the one thug was gone, and then we looked for her for about two hours."
All were silent.
Janet continued, "We dragged ourselves to a closed cafe by the river which used to be a nice place. There was no food but lots of water and pop."
Mason bandaged Jimmy's wound. There was no bullet in the wound.
Janet looked at the ground, "I am afraid there was a dead man in the pantry in the back, but all the food was gone. Then, we heard the strangest thing-a television came on. It was eerie."
Mason took out some whiskey and wine left over from the small wedding party and gave it to the two.
Jimmy continued, "We could not believe our eyes. There, on Fox, as if nothing had happened, was the Speaker of the House stating that the President and the Cabinet had been killed in an earthquake.
The Speaker said as the others were dead that he was next in line, but had deferred to a new leader, a real genius who would help bring peace to the ravaged country. We felt like we were watching a movie. This was, well maybe a month ago."
"Then we decided to go to Base Two to find Adam. That took awhile. And, just as we were about to go into the secret place where we thought he was, we saw military police coming down the road. We had nowhere to hide really, until Janet had a brilliant idea. Play dead, she said."
So, we smeared ourselves with mud and laid down under two trees, partially covered with leaves. Man, I was scared.
The police had no dog, thank God and one muttered something but the others said they had to keep going to the 'station'. So we laid there for ages."
Jimmy coughed and drank some wine. Janet took up the tale.
"We laid there for about an hour and then continued to Adam's. Of course, he was not there. And his place had been ransacked and destroyed. I was desparing, thinking we had lost another friend, when we saw a weird sign on the wall like a 'Home Sweet Home' sign from the 1950s. I went over to it, as it was crooked on the wall and when I straightened it up, a note fell out. "Gone to Mason's"
Mason looked shocked...Of course, they had not seen Adam.
Mason and Brandy glanced at each other. Would they have to deal with another death?
Jimmy began to talk about the television in the cafe. "It was surreal. The news came on. A reporter was in Washington talking about all the dead Congressmen. Then, he said that the Secretary of State noted that a new leader would be announced in two weeks after discussions with Canada and Mexico on a new united America, created because of the "geophysical problems" as the man said.
Jimmy began to fall asleep. Mason took him to his bed. Brandy helped Janet to a made-up day-bed, the camp sofa.
After a half-hour, Mason suggested using the shortwave again to get news. He knew in his heart that the news was merely propaganda....He decided to listen anyway.

One Year Max
I was at Adoration today and saw this in my mind. I saw America as if I had a bird's eye view from Europe. A huge dome covered the entire United States lower 48. Outside this dome, there were no flights, no communications. America was the biggest prison on earth.
Inside, the plants were dying. There was a dust bowl. People were gone in some areas. A dead nation...I had a series of visions over three days in 2006, which I have told a few friends and some of which were confirmed. I was wide-awake. This recent picture is not the same. Pay attention.
Some of these things are in my novellas. I do not think I can finish the one I started last week...things are happening too fast. I shall be glad to be on a retreat next week. Pray for me and all bloggers.
Tomorrow, I shall continue
my novella I stopped last year
The rest has come through a conversation with a reader.

Rosary Crusade
Let us all on this blog begin a rosary crusade against terrorism
Spread the word. Pray on your rosary daily for a defeat of the enemies of the Catholic Church. Add to the poll if you join praying on this rosary crusade.
Another Big Post Day/Privacy Is Dead/We Are All Kids Now
And this article is truly scary, truly...
http://www.france24.com/en/20150122-privacy-dead-harvard-professors-tell-davos-forum/
Do you realize this important point?
The governments are now imposing "morality" or "discipline" instead of allowing the individual to internalize morals and religion.
External rules for everything is called tyranny.
We are called as Catholics to internalize truth. This is what adults do.
Increasingly we are being treated as children by governments.
Next step, slavery....do not kid yourselves. Chains which are silver may be attractive, but they are still chains.
UPDATE--One reader who talked to me after this post.referred to the owg to come soon as the Great Parent
Every time...
I think I should stop the blog, people come and say that they need the basic and more than basic teaching found here.
One person said the blog was like a tether to truth.
Nice....
Well, if I can, I shall, but if I am in a place where there is no Internet, the blog will, by necessity, end.
Many of us in the "media" are saying the same things at this time.
Pay attention.
One of my favorite priests goes back to the front lines
Father William Kneemiller, 64, will head overseas for a one-year military deployment to the Middle East effective April 1. This will be his third assignment overseas as a chaplain in the Army Reserves. Since 2012, he has served as pastor of Ss. Philip & James in Grand Mound, Sacred Heart in Lost Nation, Sacred Heart in Oxford Junction and St. James in Toronto. He also served at the Lost Nation, Oxford Junction and Toronto parishes from 2004-10.
http://www.catholicmessenger.net/2015/01/priest-assignments-announced/
Please pray for him. At 64, he is still very fit. God bless Fr. Kneemiller

Almost three-quarters (71 per cent) of those who identified as evangelical Christians were completely secure in their belief in God’s existence.
However, this was much lower among participants who said they were Roman Catholics, with only 33 per cent having no doubts. It decreased further among Anglicans and Methodists, where the equivalent figure was 16 per cent.
