THE CRUX OF THE MATTER

The Crux of the Matter!!!!!

I really like to make things easy!!!
I really like to boil things down!!!
I really like to be simple!!!
Why??
Because I am a simple kind of guy!
WHAT REALLY IS THE PROBLEM???
Why is Jesus' prayer in John Chapter 17 not being answered?? At least not yet!
How has Satan really divided us into so many different denominations??
Some say 38,000 and some say just 38.
38 is bad enough...
38 is a long way from the number ONE!
If you understand what I am going to tell you, it doesn't matter if you are
Protestant... one of 38 or 38,000 different denominations...
Catholic.... Lapsed but baptised...
Catholic.....Regular church goer because your Mummy and Daddy always took you to church.
Catholic....I go to Church when I feel like it....OR...
What I call a Cardinal Newman Catholic....for want of a better example... Of course there are many.. He is however pretty topical as Pope Benedict the 16th just paid a very successful visit to the UK to Beatify this great Englishman...

It all boils down to the EUCHARIST..
Symbol???? or.. THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST who promised to never leave us nor forsake us??????..

Now presumably if given a choice, you would want to be in the very first Church.
Why??
Because Jesus personally set this up.
This Jesus Church went on in a unified and structured manner through much suffering and hardship with thousands of Martyrs.
These Martyrs included the majority of all the first 30 Church Leaders or Popes as we now call them.
These Martyrs were so successful that the Pagan Roman Empire eventually gave way to Christianity.

One more thing is very essential....
What is it???
One must have an enquiring mind...
One must have a seeking mind...
One must never be satisfied with the state of affairs as it is.
We either move forward to loving and knowing Jesus more and more each day or we gradually in a hardly noticeable way start to backslide.
I too cannot be satisfied with the little I understand so far in my late life...
There are Unfathomable Oceans to swim in and I am still paddling in the shallows...
That is a fact and that is why this Jesus and His Church and His Kingdom is so amazing
and fascinating and demanding...
That good old Protestant song which I love so dearly...
EVERY DAY WITH JESUS IS BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE...
If this is not true in your life....THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG...
You are shooting too low.
I am shooting for the skies and I still haven't reached the ceiling..

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT ALL NICELY WRAPPED UP AND BOILED DOWN TO THE EUCHARIST... REAL PRESENCE OR JUST A MEMORIAL MEAL??????????

I pray for you to make the right choice... It's getting late...Will soon be winter...It's getting darker every day....
Love to hear from you especially those who still love and appreciate me as I do ALL OF YOU...WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL 160 OF YOU...AND MORE....

Our main job out witnessing on the streets!

Our main job out witnessing on the streets!

We are becoming famous or infamous, depending whose side you are on,.... For telling people who pass us by on the walking street...”Jesus loves you!!!”...
This we especially do to those who are not very pleasant.
Mother Angelica, the foundress of EWTN says..... Telling people that Jesus loves them....Is the essence of Evangelism..

However there is one more important aspect of our witness which is as follows.
(Dear Cardinal John Henry Newman please help us and pray for us!!!....)
Catholics in General... Yes even the ones who regularly go to church do not really see the importance of faithfully attneding Mass.
Catholics are hearing us repeadtedly tell the following story...
J
HN was a professor at a prestigious English University earning 50,000 pounds sterling a year....That would be a fortune by today's standards and he was extremely popular with a wide circle of friends

Having carefully studied History and the early church fathers he became more and more convinced that his Anglican Faith was the wrong one and was making moves towards the Catholic Church..

His friends warned him that he would lose his job and friends!!!!!!!

Now for the famous statement which I share repeatedly with my Catholic Brothers and Sisters....
“One Holy Mass.... One Partaking in the Holy Eucharist is worth more than all the money in the world and all the friends too.”

Now maybe we can see more clearly why this man was beatified by Pope Benedict the 16th a few weeks ago.
Peace and God love you !!!!!
Michael

Answered and unanswered prayer!! When you witness you always win!! At least you win the approval of God!

Answered and unanswered prayer!!

When you witness you always win!!

At least you win the approval of God!


Have you ever wondered why God sometimes answers prayer and sometimes He doesn't???

Of course the reasons that I am going to put here are nothing original from me.

I learn everything from teachers who have studied and know so much more than I do.

In Jesus' famous statement in Matthew Chapter 7 verse 7 and verse 8

[7] Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. [8] For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. [


So there are apparently three kinds of people.. SEEKING

1. Those who have been seeking the Truth and have found it...

2. Those who are seeking the Truth and have not found it yet... they will soon move up into the 1st category...

3. Those who are not seeking the Truth and will never find it

4. Those who are not seeking the Truth and then find the Truth.... This last category does not exist...

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT FACT and I will try and tell you why?

God only answers prayer when we are really serious about it... We have to always be seekers..

Let me give you an example..

20 years ago Irmgard and I met a Lady in Nurnberg railway station who quite amazingly gave us 2000 DM just out of the blue.

We really needed that cash at that time and it came at a very opportune moment.

Why is it that this kind of miracle does not happen every day??

Because those in Category 4 would be forced to believe without really seeking.

The 1st and 2nd categories would get lazy and expect a continual shower of always answered prayer and Faith would go out of the window.

Hebrews Ch 11 verse 6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God

I hope that was helpful.

Here is another example from yesterday.

We had witnessed all morning distributing our Home made Rosaries for a small donation.

Now there were hardly any body on the streets and I was contemplating packing up when a lady right out of the blue approached us and asked us for a Rosary and gave us a much needed small donation.

This was our cue to continue, remembering the quote... When you witness you always win...

For the next hour we did not do very well and then as we got desperately seeking, we started to do well again....Doing well or not financially is not the main point but in our work counselling people on the street we also need to make enough to live...

Today Irmgard never gave up and the very last person she talked to before getting in the car, gave her a much needed donation for a book by Frank Duff of the Legion of Mary.

I hope this was helpful... By the way I learned this from Peter Kreeth...I hope you listened to him...and to Tim Staples....

Choose this day!!!!!!!

Choose this day!!!!!!!
Today's Liturgical Gospel reading is the SLOGAN of Word on Fire of Father Robert Barron and of the Catholicism Project.
See www.wordonfire.org

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12:49-53.

I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
These words from Christ today give us a great opportunity to decide on which side we really want to be.

If you are a Protestant Christian, sadly divided from the Roman Catholic Church, maybe a good test would be to take yourself back 2000 years and read the many accounts of the Early Church Fathers, which is easily researched on the Internet using Google, and ask yourself the following question???

“Would I with my particular little slant on Christianity with my own private interpretation, be at HOME in a Liturgical Church with Bishops and a Structure and a 100% Eucharistic belief in the REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CONSECRATED BREAD AND WINE.”

Would I be at home where sins were confessed to Ordained Priests who would have the authority to either forgive or retain my sins?

Today would be a good opportunity in light of this famous Gospel reading to decide once and for all.

My Prayers are with you as you make this tough decision.

As for me and mine, by the Grace of God, we will strive desperately to be on the right side, daily, right up to the very end of this life. Lord Jesus help us all to make the right decision.

need to make a decision about these Catholics... one way or another...

Peter Kreeft.???? What did you make of his arguments????

Dear

I am wondering why I got so few replies to this Master Piece of Apologetics???
What is mjk trying to do?
Why doesn't he just leave us alone?
We want our peace?
Why doesn't he just shut up?
I can just hear many of you saying remarks like that out aloud or in your thoughts!
Why do I bother to continue to send you such well thought out arguments and defences for the Roman Catholic Church??
Good question!!!!!
Why??
Because of the following.......
1st if the Catholic Church is not the TRUTH then it is the biggest lie ever..
It is a lie that has lasted from the time of the Apostles until now.
It's a lie that just wont go away.
All the so called reformers split and many have almost totally faded away.
None of them are really doing any good and having a real influence in this world. Read On..Read on!!!
The doctrine of this Church has never changed even though their have been many bad people including wicked Popes etc
It is very similar to the idea that Jesus was just a good man and a moral teacher.
He taught love and was a great Guru and nothing more.
The fact is He was either God or a very very bad man.
Why???
Because He claimed to be God!
Therefore He was either God or a very bad wicked megalomaniac.
You cannot just brush him off with the good person nonsense.
The same applies to the Roman Catholic Church.
You will have to make a decision.
Either this Church is the Truth or it is totally deluded.
No middle ground..
No comfortable... they are not bad chaps...

We live in extraordinary times.
Materialism is now the number one religion in the West.
For most part Christians are now in a very sad state.
Like never before we need UNITY and to all be singing from the same Hymn Sheet.
This was Jesus' wish in John Ch 17...Someone is being very disobedient
We Catholics already have a very tough and long lasting structure in place.
You Protesters do not.
We Catholics are hated by the Media for our stand against abortion, homosexual marriage, artificial birth control, euthanasia, divorce and many other important topics such as forbidding the Bible and religious instruction in School etc etc..
The fact that the Media hate us is a very strong indication that we are the TRUTH as otherwise the Media would love us and leave us alone.

The Media for the most part leaves you alone....
I wonder why???
Maybe because you are not there in significant numbers to pose a threat to the Media????
Maybe they can't find you???
Maybe you do not speak up and even if you do, do you really pose a threat?
What do you think???
Why do they leave you alone???
This is proof in itself that we are effective whereas you are not and how can you be without a
I believe the Luxury of your caffeteria protesting must come to an end
Where is your real lasting alternative to the Roman Catholic Church????.
Unless we unite we will remain divided by Satanic forces and defeated.
Well that is not quite true because Jesus will intervene but there will be lots and lots of Martyrdom!!
I am not doing this exercise just to annoy you and show off my so called superiority. Today, the 16th of October when I went to confession, and FOR YOU Sola ScrituraITES. the Bible reference would be John Ch 20 verses 22 and 23 and Matthew Ch 18 verses 18 and 19, I was so encouraged to hear the following from The Priest ???? who when I had told him how easily I get discouraged, told me that as long as we remain very small in front of God He will take all our failures from trying to achieve holiness, all the broken pieces, and make them into a crown and place it on our heads.
PRETTY ENCOURAGING!!!
I AM QUITE SURE THAT IF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO CAREFULLY LISTEN TO PETER KREEFTS ARGUMENTS, THEN YOU WILL SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

There is one more short talk by Ray Guarendi called “Why be Catholic??” It is also very good but does not deal with the question as thoroughly as Peter Kreeft.
I do like Ray Guarendi's style though.... Funny and true!!!!
Here is the link... url....

Please check it out....

Please do me the favour of answering this but not before you have Prayed and thought about it carefully and also listen to all the links that I have sent you.
God Bless you and Peace!!!!!!!

I had no idea that there was and is a Peter Kreeft.
He is just like a reincarnation of C.S.Lewis.
I discovered him only yesterday!!
That is why I am so ashamed...
I have been trying to tell you so unsuccessfully that the Roman Catholic Church is the One and Only True Church of Christ on Earth.
These links will take you to the five parts of the most amazing Apologetics for True Christianity..
Now I must fairly warn you....
Yes it would only be fair to warn you....
If and of course there is a very big If....IF
If you do listen to these 5 part series of about 9 to 10 minutes each then unless you want to live with a lie, you will change and want to become a Catholic.

So this is by far my greatest challenge that I have ever given to you Bob, Michael, Anna, Larry, Bruce, Daniel, Ethel, Hanni, Arvid, Florian, Jost, Hansjurgen, Greg, and others...

Anything else that I have ever written does not get more than 1 point out of 10..THIS PRESENTATION GETS 10 OUT OF 10.

GOD BLESS PETER KREEFT AND HE SURELY HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO..
All Roman Catholics receiving this …. Please....and I implore you to send this on...to all you know....
WE CATHOLICS EITHER BELIEVE A WICKED LIE OR WE HAVE THE TRUTH.. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND...
NOW YOU LISTEN FIRST YES FIRST YOU SHOULD LISTEN AND THEN COME TO YOUR CONCLUSIONS.. PLEASE DO THAT FOR ME.. REMEMBER I AM YOUR FRIEND JUST AS YOU ARE MY FRIEND..

FATHER ROBERT BARRON WITH HIS CATHOLICISM PROJECT SERIES which WILL TAKE ANOTHER YEAR TO COMPLETE IS TRYING TO PUT INTO A VISUAL FORM, WHAT PETER KREEFT HAS PUT IN WORDS SO CONVINCINGLY....

I THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN AND I THANK GOD THAT HE IN HIS INFINITE MERCY AND GRACE ALLOWED ME TO LISTEN TO THIS 50 MINUTE PRODUCTION...

Please get back to me with your comments and findings....
I particularly liked the story of the Jewish Merchant Abraham and his encounter with the wicked Borgia Popes...

SHOW ME SOMETHING BETTER!!! THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI, Oct 4th

SHOW ME SOMETHING BETTER!!!
THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI, Oct 4th

39 years ago, I joined the Jesus movement.

This was a movement born in California amongst the Hippies and surfers and drop outs of the late 60s and 70s.

I was in this group for a quarter of a century!

5 years earlier I had given my heart to Jesus on a railway train one cold February morning shortly after the death of a great statesman, Sir Winston Churchill.

I was in and out of many different denominations as I looked for something to really give my life too.

IF JESUS WAS WORTH FOLLOWING, HE WAS WORTH FOLLOWING ALL THE WAY.
I COULD NOT SETTLE FOR JUST CHURCH BENCH WARMING AND OCCASIONAL BIBLE STUDY.

First I tried my own branch, the Church of England. Then a revolutionary branch of the Baptists, known as the Navigators.

I owe a great deal to the Navs as they taught me to memorise key verses of The Holy Bible and how to witness effectively. I loved to witness!!!! I still do and do it every day except Sundays and even then I do if I get the chance.

I do not want to arrive in Eternal Life alone. I want to bring many others along with me.

I also tried the Brethren and the Methodists and all kinds and shapes and sizes of the Pentecostal world.

You can read a more detailed account in my Auto Bio which is posted on
www.blogspot.com

When I was absolutely desperate, the Lord sent along the Jesus movement of the Children of God.

The COG was everything that I was looking for and more.

It was a life of total faith and commitment and witnessing every day.

It hit London and England like a storm or rather a powerful breath of the Holy Spirit.

With no visible means of support except blind faith in the promises of Jesus Christ in the Bible we were soon in a very few years expanding all over the world.

Back to the point of this true story.

Our first Community was in a warehouse, a disused Factory belonging to a Mr Frampton in Bromley Kent.

One of his sons joined the group, much to his dismay. Mr F was a kind of solid evangelical.. a branch of the Brethren, I think??

As I was the oldest being 30 or 31, I was often being used to explain the group to Reporters, Police, Parents and many a time to Mr Frampton himself.

He would keep saying to me that he was very suspicious of the COG and why was I not thankful for just being an EVANGELICAL?????

This was before they embraced a sexual revolution for which they eventually became notorious.

I SAID TO HIM AND TO THE MANY VISITORS WHO ASKED ME SIMILAR QUESTIONS.....

Show me something better and I will for sure join it.

Catholicism was out of the question as in England the ANTI CATHOLIC DISINFORMATION
PROGRAMME had been very successful and was branded a false form of Christianity... Bells...Smells...Priests dressed up as women..

Later after watching and amazing Zeffirelli movie, BROTHER SUN and sister moon, on the life of Saint Francis of Assissi, I did begin to see that we in the COG were not unique.

Now my challenge to you, this early morning on October the 5th, my Mothers Birthday and also the Saints day of Faustina who died as I was born 48 days later.....Show me something better than the Roman Catholic Faith....

Show me a faith that has stood its ground for 2000 years.

Show me a faith that has such an enormous impact on this modern world and makes headline news regularly, even if sometimes it is only our sad errors.

Do you mean to tell me that there is no Paedophilia in Protestantism?
Of course there is but nobody cares or just very few.

What group runs more Hospitals, Charities, Hospices, Schools and places of Higher education?

Look at the publicity our Church got as Pope B16 went to the UK and confounded all the angry PROTESTERS!!!

If the leader of a Protestant sect even a so called main line one like Methodists or C of E would commit adultery it would make very little news, but if our Pope gets knocked down by accident by an over enthusiastic lady, it is headlines on CNN and BBC.

God Bless you!!!!!
God love you!!!!!
Peace!!!!!!!

about Father Robert Barron of Word on Fire ministry

Thanks for the Wake Up Call!!
Everything and I mean everything you write is done in such a way that it is all a wake up call. It is easy to understand and sometimes you use vocabulary which makes us look up the word, so you are also a teacher that stretches us in our command of the English language..
Thank you Jesus for Father B.
Please keep this servant of God in your prayers.
He is absolutely unique...
All his reflections AND comments illuminate the Eternal Word and goads us into action.

OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY. On October 13th, Yesterday, in 1917,

OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY.

On October 13th, Yesterday, in 1917, approx 70,000 onlookers, including sceptics, atheists,and a considerable number of newspaper reporters watched … The Miracle of the Sun...
Please check out the Wikipedia report which is very fair and draw your own conclusions.
I, as the writer of this short article believe !!!!!!!
I believe …..and if you take the time to investigate further you may seriously have to adjust your position as a believer or as a non believer......
May God Bless you as you never ever give up your ongoing quest for a closer and more meaningful walk with your Creator.

Please take this seriously

Dear friend, brother, sister and even enemy
I have just sent you an email called
THE CHURCH IN DESPERATE NEED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
PLEASE WATCH THE YOU TUBE VIDEO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcma8HsQa2k
THE WORLD'S CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS..

confrontational

Confrontaional!

Yes!, I am a confrontational kind of person.
I try not to soft soap people just to get their friendship and financial help!
Yes!! I have done that in the past and it sickens me.
I sincerely believe that after wandering around in the PROTESTING wilderness for almost 40 years, that I have at last entered into the Promised Land of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
I totally realise that my Church is far from perfect and if it was, which it isn't, then me joining it would have immediately made it IMPERFECT.
I also sincerely believe that if anybody, and I mean anybody, who stops and takes the time to study History and especially Church, Bible, History will tumble to the fact that this Church really is the Church that Jesus promised to build and maintain until the end of the age. (See Matthew Chapter 16 verse 18.)
Having followed the events of the last week end only goes to prove just how powerful (in the Spirit that is), my Church really is..
The opposition was just feeble and was swept away by the Charm, Humility, Shyness, Unobtrusiveness and just sheer Love of our very own dear B16. Pope Benedict the 16th.
He for sure was not a compromiser and spoke on all the subjects that would have been dubbed controversial.
He did not flinch from his responsibilities as a leader of the only really effective group of Christians on this Planet.
The Pope has routed his enemies and brought joy to the faithful
The last four days began in anxiety, but ended in euphoria

John Henry Newman, now Blessed John Henry Newman is best remembered by me for saying something like the following when he was being warned by his friends that he would lose everything if he changed over to the Roman Catholic Church...”One Holy Mass is worth more than all the cash and friends in the world.” This was also said by the Cure of Ars Saint John Vianney and all the following quotes are along the same lines.

Graces from Holy Mass
1.The Holy Mass is Calvary continued.
2.Every Mass is worth as much as the sacrifice of Our Lord’s life, sufferings and death.
3.Holy Mass is the most powerful atonement for your sins.
4.At the hour of death the Masses you have heard will be your greatest consolation.
5.Every Mass will go with you to judgement and plead for pardon.
6.At Mass you can diminish more or less temporal punishment due to your sins, according to your fervor.
7.Assisting devoutly at Holy Mass you render to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord the greatest homage.
8.He supplies for many of your negligences and omissions.
9.He forgives the venial sins which you have not confessed.
10.The power of Satan over you is diminished.
11.You afford the souls in Purgatory the greatest possible relief.
12.One Holy Mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.
13.You are preserved from dangers and misfortunes which otherwise might have befallen you.
14.You shorten your stay in Purgatory.
15.Every Mass wins for you a higher degree of glory in Heaven.
16.You receive the priest’s blessing which Our Lord ratifies in Heaven.
17.You kneel amidst a multitude of holy angels, who are present at the Adorable Sacrifice with reverential awe.
18.You are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.
In eternity we shall fully realize that it was certainly worthwhile to have assisted at Holy Mass daily.
Pray for priests that they may offer the Mass with holy love and reference.
Quotes on Holy Mass
“The Mass is the most perfect form of prayer!” – (Pope Paul VI)
For each Mass we hear with devotion, Our Lord sends a saint to comfort us at death (revelation of Christ to St. Gertrude the great).
Padre Pio, the stigmatic priest, said, the world could exist more easily without the sun than without the Mass.
The Cure’ d’ Ars, St. Jean Vianney said, if we knew the value of the Mass we would die of joy.
A great doctor of the Church, St. Anselm, declares that a single Mass offered for oneself during life may be worth more than a thousand celebrated for the same intention after death. St. Leonard of Port Maurice supports this statement by saying that one Mass before death may be more profitable than many after it.
“The Holy Mass would be of greater profit if people had it offered in their lifetime, rather than having it celebrated for the relief of their souls after death.” (Pope Benedict XV).
Once, St. Teresa was overwhelmed with God’s Goodness and asked Our Lord, “How can I thank you?” Our Lord replied, “ATTEND ONE MASS.”
The Blessed Virgin Mary once told Her faithful servant Alain: “My Son so loves those who assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that, if it were necessary He would die for them as many times as they’ve heard Masses.”(Page 107, last paragraph of “Explication Du Saint Sacrifice De La Messe” parle R.P. Martin de Cochem Friere – Mineur Capucin.)
We are not alone when we attend the Holy Mass. We are accompanied by all the angels in Heaven, all the saints, and all the souls in purgatory who are waiting for our prayers to reach heaven. I had never known that attending the Holy Mass is so important. I hope all of you now have a clear picture of how important Holy Mass is.
.
Let us try our level best to take part in the Holy Mass not only on Sundays, but on every day of our remaining life on this earth. May our Almighty Lord help us in making this bold decision and in carrying it out.

the Holy Rosary prayer part 2

The Rosary part 2
dedicated to our Holy Mother into whose hands we place this small project.

I am a simple street Missionary along with my wife Irmgard.

We are totally convinced Roman Catholics having converted from Evangelical Protestantism, 25 years in the Children of God sect, about 10 years ago.

As John Henry Newman, who will be beatified tomorrow, says....”One Holy Mass is worth all the cash in the world and all the friends in the world!” or something to that effect.

My wife and I would add a Loud AMEN!!!!

In a few days, next Saturday the 24th, Lord willing! I and my wife will be inaugurated into the Legion of Mary having served our three month probation period.

For the past 6 months or so, I have been extremely privileged to be an Ambassador for the Catholicism Project of Father Robert Barron of Word on Fire. www.wordonfire.org

This extraordinary servant of God is in my opinion and that of countless others, 2nd to none at promoting the Roman Catholic Faith along with his sermons and video casts...

The very best imaginable, and always totally challenging and faith building and eloquent and inspiring on a very very wide range of subjects.

Please seriously check out Word on Fire and the sermons and reflections of Father Robert Barron..

They are a Phenomenon and a modern day miracle and gift to us all.

As Protestants, we went out WITNESSING in the streets, offices, Campuses, Ships, Prisons, Schools and just about everywhere imaginable, many times accompanied by our now 7 singing children,

SINGING THE RED LETTER WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST.

We, THE RED LETTER KIDS.. sang well known Gospel songs and an Album of our songs called the Lifeboat with 9 compositions of our own.

Type in www.redletterkids.com and you will see and hear more about us and our past.

We used to distribute our music CDs and tracts with a simple salvation message.

Then we started giving out DVDs and CDs copied at home along with Holy Cards.

We never sold anything but would ask for a small donation in return.

These small donations make up the income we receive every day up till today and I can tell you with all honesty that Jesus has never let us down.

On the other hand I have let Jesus down countless times but even if I am unfaithful, He has always remained faithful as He cannot deny Himself.

Now I am asking you to look carefully at the photo attachments and help me to get out the Good News of the Power of the Rosary prayer.

I string together Rosaries about 8 every day, which takes me about 4 hours solid concentration and work at my bedroom factory desk.

I would like to offer these Rosaries designed according to your taste along with the very excellent Brochure for a minimum donation of 10 Euro, to include the cost of postage to your Home address.

These small donations would help me and my family to stay afloat and of course we will continue with our daily ministry or Apostolate on the streets and door to door of our local neighbourhood in the Cologne area of Germany.

My email address to receive your orders for Rosaries is as above in your browser but I will write it out for you anyway.

the Holy Rosary Prayer

THE ROSARY PRAYER!

I have been wanting to write this for some time and I am going to need lots of Spiritual help from Jesus and Mary and the Saints to be able to put across what I want to say.

The Rosary prayer....What's so special about this prayer that goes around in a circle of 5 sets of 10 beads(Decades) and that funny little tail of 5 beads with a cross on the bottom.

St. Pio once referred to the Rosary as his “weapon” against Satan and sin.

Saint Pio died with a Rosary in his hands

The three little seers in 1917 at Fatima prayed the Rosary..

Lucia and Jacinta were very faithful but Francesco a little lazy.

When Mary appeared, both Jacinta and Lucia could see an hear Mary perfectly well but Francesco saw and heard nothing.

When the other two asked the Virgin Mary why Francesco could see and hear nothing, she simply said for him to start reciting the Rosary.

As He obediently complied, he immediately began to see and hear like the other two.

The Rosary is a prayer promoted by The Virgin Mary during her appearances in 1917 at Fatima Portugal.

After the Second World War, Father Patrick Peyton often known as the Rosary Priest, lead simple crusades attended by people in their thousands and tens of thousands all over the USA and in key cities of the world.

Quote from Wikipedia
“Father Peyton staged massive Rosary rallies in key cities of the world and extensively utilized mass communication, helped by world-recognized celebrities of Hollywood at that time, promoting his ministry of binding families through prayer under the Family Rosary.”
Father Peyton made famous the slogans, """""The family that prays together stays together,"""""" and """"""A world at prayer is a world at peace."""""
It has been said by many, that these crusades repeating the Rosary, saved the world from a Nuclear war, the Third World War, which almost broke out in 1961 over the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Every time you pray 5 decades of the Rosary, you will be repeating the Lord's Prayer, The Our Father, 6 times.

You will also repeat the name Jesus at least 66 times.
The name of Jesus at which every knee will have to bow.

OK so now you know why I am such an enthusiast for our mother the Blessed Virgin Mary and for the Rosary Prayer.

In my street ministry, I have distributed CDs DVDs and Holy Pictures and Tracts but now I am convinced that distributing Rosaries along with a very graphic accompanying leaflet is the most world changing activity that I can participate in.

A Holy Picture or a DVD CD will definitely encourage your faith, as will a Holy Picture or a well written Tract but and there is a big BUT,

The Rosary will put the receiver of it to work for the salvation of the world.

Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day but teach him to fish and you will feed him for the rest of his life!!!

God Love you!!

This great communicator of the late 20th century will make you laugh and learn

show me something better

SHOW ME SOMETHING BETTER!!!
THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI, Oct 4th

39 years ago, I joined the Jesus movement.

This was a movement born in California amongst the Hippies and surfers and drop outs of the late 60s and 70s.

I was in this group for a quarter of a century!

5 years earlier I had given my heart to Jesus on a railway train one cold February morning shortly after the death of a great statesman, Sir Winston Churchill.

I was in and out of many different denominations as I looked for something to really give my life too.

IF JESUS WAS WORTH FOLLOWING, HE WAS WORTH FOLLOWING ALL THE WAY.
I COULD NOT SETTLE FOR JUST CHURCH BENCH WARMING AND OCCASIONAL BIBLE STUDY.

First I tried my own branch, the Church of England. Then a revolutionary branch of the Baptists, known as the Navigators.

I owe a great deal to the Navs as they taught me to memorise key verses of The Holy Bible and how to witness effectively. I loved to witness!!!! I still do and do it every day except Sundays and even then I do if I get the chance.

I do not want to arrive in Eternal Life alone. I want to bring many others along with me.

I also tried the Brethren and the Methodists and all kinds and shapes and sizes of the Pentecostal world.

You can read a more detailed account in my Auto Bio which is posted on
www.blogspot.com

When I was absolutely desperate, the Lord sent along the Jesus movement of the Children of God.

The COG was everything that I was looking for and more.

It was a life of total faith and commitment and witnessing every day.

It hit London and England like a storm or rather a powerful breath of the Holy Spirit.

With no visible means of support except blind faith in the promises of Jesus Christ in the Bible we were soon in a very few years expanding all over the world.

Back to the point of this true story.

Our first Community was in a warehouse, a disused Factory belonging to a Mr Frampton in Bromley Kent.

One of his sons joined the group, much to his dismay. Mr F was a kind of solid evangelical.. a branch of the Brethren, I think??

As I was the oldest being 30 or 31, I was often being used to explain the group to Reporters, Police, Parents and many a time to Mr Frampton himself.

He would keep saying to me that he was very suspicious of the COG and why was I not thankful for just being an EVANGELICAL?????

This was before they embraced a sexual revolution for which they eventually became notorious.

I SAID TO HIM AND TO THE MANY VISITORS WHO ASKED ME SIMILAR QUESTIONS.....

Show me something better and I will for sure join it.

Catholicism was out of the question as in England the ANTI CATHOLIC DISINFORMATION
PROGRAMME had been very successful and was branded a false form of Christianity... Bells...Smells...Priests dressed up as women..

Later after watching and amazing Zeffirelli movie, BROTHER SUN and sister moon, on the life of Saint Francis of Assissi, I did begin to see that we in the COG were not unique.

Now my challenge to you, this early morning on October the 5th, my Mothers Birthday and also the Saints day of Faustina who died as I was born 48 days later.....Show me something better than the Roman Catholic Faith....

Show me a faith that has stood its ground for 2000 years.

Show me a faith that has such an enormous impact on this modern world and makes headline news regularly, even if sometimes it is only our sad errors.

Do you mean to tell me that there is no Paedophilia in Protestantism?
Of course there is but nobody cares or just very few.

What group runs more Hospitals, Charities, Hospices, Schools and places of Higher education?

Look at the publicity our Church got as Pope B16 went to the UK and confounded all the angry PROTESTERS!!!

If the leader of a Protestant sect even a so called main line one like Methodists or C of E would commit adultery it would make very little news, but if our Pope gets knocked down by accident by an over enthusiastic lady, it is headlines on CNN and BBC.

God Bless you!!!!!
God love you!!!!!
Peace!!!!!!!

persecution and cleansing a follow up to the church in desperate need

Persecution and cleansing!!!

A FOLLOW UP OF OUR CHURCH IN DESPERATE NEED

After just listening to and watching “Ezekiel and the Sex abuse scandal and crisis” by Father Robert Barron of Word on Fire and the Catholicism Project, please check out and watch and see the following url link,

http://www.wordonfire.org/WOF-TV/Commentaries-New/Fr-Barron-comments-on-the-Prophet-Ezekiel-and-the.aspx

This is my own personal comment which you can see published under this absolutely CLASSIC talk and presentation by Father B...
Listening to this was just tremendous!!!
This is one of your classics in my opinion.
Kerry wrote "Bravo!!" I say the same.
Let's all be Catholics not because we like or dislike some of the people, priests or even our dear Father Robert Barron, but simply because it is the SPLENDOUR OF TRUTH..
I am so proud and privileged as an ambassador of the Catholicism project, to be a very small part of this team.
Father KGFG(Keep going for God) 4 ever. I pray for you daily and thank God for you too.
We and the whole Roman Catholic Family desperately need you and your insights.
Once again.... BRAVO!!!

I have to sadly admit that so very few people have replied and commented on my email blog THE CHURCH IN DESPERATE NEED.

I was talking to our Deacon today after Holy Mass and we both agreed that one reason for the amazing increase in the number of Muslims who are climbing ahead through the Birth Canal in Europe and all over the world, is just the plain judgement of God.

In the life time of many of the readers of this letter, we will all see Muslim republics springing up everywhere.

God's judgement and purification and cleansing process.

I believe that as they grow into the majority they will persecute us and kill us just as the Romans under their Caesar did in the first three Centuries.

Some of us will sadly give way rather than be tortured and manipulated into denying our faith and some will, like those martyrs of old, die victoriously and happily singing and pleading mercy and forgiveness for their murderers and tormentors.
Just as Jesus did and Saint Stephen the first martyr.

This, after a great deal of bloodshed and cleansing, will result in the conversion of the Muslims. Just as it did for the Romans in the time of the Emperor Constantine.

Ever since artificial birth control and sex for just pleasure and not for procreation was introduced after the 2nd World War, The Western World has taken a plunge into the abyss of Promiscuity flaunting the laws of God, much to the delight of Satan and his destructive minions.

The wheels of God's judgements grind exceedingly slowly but exceedingly finely.
May Our Lady of the Rosary please come to our rescue..

We are all so guilty.

God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit please help us in our waning Western Civilisation to repent or be cleansed in this very public and painful but maybe the only effective way.

bees in your bonnet

Bees in your bonnet


I think the reason that Protestants cannot and will not appreciate the Roman Catholic Church is because they have so many bees in their bonnets.
Let's take a look at some of these bees!
I think the first and most important Bee is that to be a Catholic one has to obey a higher authority...and be part of a structure made up of imperfect people.
THIS IS A VERY BIG BEE. Henry the 8th really couldn't handle being told what to do.
Maybe that is the Queen Bee?
Then there are smaller bees.
The Bible today is open for all to read and this was a and is a good thing BUT
Everyone can literally take the Bible and interpret it to suit his ways.
Private Interpretation has brought about 38,000 approx ways of interpretation in 38,000 denominations.
One Bible, but as many verses are obscure in their meaning, they can be twisted to mean whatever suits oneself.
The Roman Catholic Church over a period of 2000 years has an interpretation that is approved by the leaders or Bishops or Apostles made over the Centuries..
Next there is the

Bee about Mary, Jesus' Mother
Inquisition bee....
Burning Witches bee...
Going to war in the Crusades bee....... and the
Spanish Armada bee..
the Indulgences bee....and many more I am sure I left out...
And now we have some very modern bees like the
paedophile bee.
I nearly forgot another very big one,
The Holy Eucharist Bee
the Real presence of Jesus Bee
When I became a Catholic 10 years ago, these
bees bothered me a great deal until I rediscovered
Matthew Chapter 16 verse 18...
Instead of arguing about big and little stones and pebbles and showing off ones knowledge of Greek when actually this statement was made in Aramaic... But that is not the point here..
JUST CHECK THIS OUT
JESUS SAID AND I QUOTE THE EXACT WORDS
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH..... I WILL DO IT.... NOT YOU OR ME BUT I JESUS WILL DO THE JOB UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE AND I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU AND THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WITHSRAND THE ONSLAUGHTS OF MY CHURCH
When I discovered this the penny dropped and all the bees took flight and they never dared come back again...
This was Jesus'
plan,
idea,
job,
construction,
and in spite of wicked evil and sinful men including the likes of me
nothing will ever
ever ever ever get in His way and be able to spoil His Plan.

Now if you cannot see that.... then like the Muslim who challenged me today exclaiming and gesticulating with great fervour and force of words, that Jesus was just a Prophet and definitely not GOD, I was able to explain in very bad Genglish a mixture of German and English. That we would just have to agree to disagree and love one another.
I put my arm around him and, believe it or not, he gave me a very generous donation with a big smile on his face..

I love these following Words from Father Patrick Peyton and will try to end all my mails with the following... This applies particularly to a very favourite BEE Prayer of the Roman Catholics The HOLY ROSAY
The family that prays together stays together and a World at prayer is a world at peace..
Notice it doesn't say a world all reading and privately interpreting the Word of God. Ha!!!!!!


Look forward to your comments!!!

the devil part 2 in easy to read and comment on sections

Hopefully you can recognise this letter which I am now sending you for the third time. You could say that I am a glutton for punishment or you could say too that I am delivering my soul.????
Take your pick...
We are all old..
We can all die tomorrow or tonight??
Then there is no turning back.. Like the story of Dives and Lazarus...
This life is almost over and this could be my last chance to get through to you about very very important matters...
Hope you take the time and comment on the different sections all easily numbered for your and my reference..
God love you!!!
Peace!!!
michael jaffray king.



SECTION A...
1A)...So far I have not had one reply to this letter and especially from those of you who have been arguing so effectively against the Catholic Church with those bees in your bonnet about Purgatory and Mary etc etc etc ... I am not trying to make you feel bad but only trying to wake you up as to the great seriousness of the situation in our world today.
2A)...Gay marriages... Abortion.... Adoption of children by gay couples...Euthanasia

2B)...WRITE CAPS ON TOP of WHAT i HAVE WRITTEN!!!!!!... I WILL NOT CONSIDER THAT SHOUTING ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE


SECTION C....

1C)...The Devil!

The Devil!

This is a huge subject and I may have to write this in parts and I hope you will find this interesting and that most important, it will stir you into action!

2C)...THE DEVIL IS REAL AND HE IS PLAYING FOR KEEPS!!! NEVER EVER FORGET THAT!!!

3C)...This LINK will greatly help, and the talk by Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be a very good start to my comments and reflections on what I have learned so far.

4C)...Just go to You Tube and type in Archbishop Fulton J Sheen....The Devil

5C)...THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD JOKES AT THE BEGINNING TO WHET YOUR APPETITE and get you into a good mood.....

6C)...After watching the Bishop, and he is very good, and some say he was the greatest communicator of the 20th Century on TV, and Radio.

7C)...He had a huge audience and many if not most were not Roman Catholic,,,,,,,

Then...........

SECTION D...

1D)...Please read the following passage very carefully.
Luke Chapter 8...

26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee.


27 And when he had come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres.

28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said:
What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech you, do not torment me.

29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

30 And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? But he said: Legion.
2D)...Legion, I always thought meant a 1000 but it actually means 6000!!!!

3D)...He was literally being lead around by 6000 different opinions with absolutely no unity, except to taunt him and lead him astray and eventually destroy him

4D)...This is a very important observation as you will see later...

5D)...I hope you listened to Bishop Sheen and he listed 3 characteristics of Satanic possession.
Nudity
Violence
Split personality
if I remember correctly.
We will have to deal with these characteristics later

6D)...The Bishop gave a definition for the word Devil. Do you remember what it was?
Diaballein.. which can mean to Tear apart and to rip in pieces....and ultimately destroy..


SECTION E...

1E)...Have you ever watched those documentaries where the Lion carefully splits the herd and takes one little Buffalo and then kills it while all the others are running away in a different direction.
2E)...Smart!
3E)...Why?
4E)...Because those Buffalo Parents and Uncles and Aunties could prove a problem for the Lion if they were not separated.

5E)...Just imagine if those Buffaloes had stayed together with a Leader telling them to form a circle around the tender little Buffalo calves, and defend themselves as He the Leader gave instructions to an obedient herd.????

6E)...I think the Lions would get very thin and hungry and maybe start eating grass!


SECTION F...

1F)...John Chapter 10 verse 10 says
 The thief comes not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.


SECTION G...

1G)...We all know that Jesus is a GOOD SHEPHERD and does not want His Flock to be divided...
Do you believe that?????

2G)...Jesus prays in John Chapter 17 for all to be one.... Do you remember that???

3G)...Jesus was the smartest of all!
a...He knew men and what was inside them.
b...He knew just how imperfect they were.
c...He knew they would need teachers.
d...He knew they would need schools.
e...He knew they would need a Head Master and other disciplinarians to maintain order.

4G)...Imagine telling all the children in England to go to school and the books would all be there and all they would have to do is to read them themselves and there would from now on be no more teachers.

5G)...The Lord of the Flies is a Movie which I have not seen but it shows what a bunch of kids get up to when there is no leadership and discipline... Horrible!!!

6G)...Well I am just a kid too. A 72 year old kid and I need people of greater and proven experience to keep me in line too.


SECTION H...

1H)...I hope you see what I am driving at.

2H)...I and the Catholic Population are for sure not better than you non Catholics. Some of my very best friends are Non Catholics.
3H)...Actually to tell you the TRUTH, I for sure am not Catholic because we have the most on fire and attractive personnel.
a...We are a weak bunch and many time not even nice.
b...Some of us are Pharisees of the worst kind. Me too at times!
c...Some of us are so weak in our faith that we may and probably will give up in the future.

4H)...BUT we have a STRUCTURE
We have Leadership
And we have stood the test of time.

SECTION I...

1I)...One of the best examples I know and one which continually sticks in my mind and is a tremendous encouragement is a true story about Padre Pio

2I)...You can watch the movie on you tube! and this characteristic of his is the reason why God was so with this guy and why he became a Saint so soon after his death.

3I)...I think it was for 10 years that he was prevented from taking Holy Mass and hearing confessions. Not 10 days or ten weeks but 10 years. ALL BECAUSE OF FALSE ACCUSATIONS...

4I)...He had a really good friend who was not a Priest and everyone knew that the Local Bishop was a womaniser on the side.

5I)...This friend trying to encourage Father Pio made a negative allusion to this Bishop and got an immediate slap on the face from the Father . He angrily corrected him for his insubordination and lack of respect toward a higher authority.


SECTION J....

1J)...Saint Pio knew the paramount importance of the need for this 2000 year old structure, even if people in the structure were bad sinners and very bad role models.
a...I am not a Catholic because of good or bad priests.
b...I am not a Catholic because other members of the congregation of my church love me or hate me or even worse are indifferent towards me

2J)...but because of Matthew Ch 16 verse 18...
Jesus Christ is building, maintaining and carrying on my Church with or without me or you or good people or bad people but just because He promised to do so ….....

3J)...And He has put a structure in place which totally confounded those False Prophets prior to the Pope's visit to my country who believed and spread lies that B16 would return to Rome with his tail between his legs having been snubbed and humiliated by the British Public.

4J)...The rest of you who are not in this structure but going to an unstructured school with just books to read and no teachers are easy meat for the Diaballein who is eating you and your denominations for breakfast.

5J)...Splitting and splitting and then more splitting and eventual destruction or even worse ineffectiveness!!!!!!!!

6J)...It is like going to war without a General or Army Commander... Just take your gun and some ammo and some difficult to understand instructions and win the war all by yourself... Crazy isn't it????

The devil and Archbishop Fulton J Sheen

the church in desperate need

THE CHURCH IN DESPERATE NEED!!!
IF EVER OUR CHURCH WAS IN NEED, IT IS NOW... JUST WATCH THIS
YOU TUBE VIDEO AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF WHAT I MEAN.
THE DRASTICALLY CHANGING WORLD!!!
A WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF US!!!
we need a miracle!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcma8HsQa2k
WE NEED A MIRACLE THROUGH MARY, WHO IS COMMON GROUND BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND ROMAN CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS.
In this case, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (YESTERDAY)commemorates the victory of Christian naval forces at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. At a time when Christian Europe was being torn apart by internal strife and the Reformation, (Sounds just like today!!!!!!!!!38,000 DIFFERENT SECTS ALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS!! HELP!!!)Don John of Austria destroyed the Turkish fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto. His victory was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom rosaries were offered (We need a Rosary Crusades like never before and we need Our Lady of the Rosary to intervene)and processions were made in Rome on the day of the battle.
The Rosary Crusades of the late Rosary Priest Father Patric Peyton were most likely responsible for preventing WORLD WAR 3 IN 1961 .. THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS...Kruschev versus J.F.K...

I have just watched this horrifying but true video...
If you read no further just watch this if you dare!!
I post the url for a second time below..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcma8HsQa2k

Take just 7 minutes to watch this...... and there is absolutely no reason to believe this is not true...
This will not affect me but it will affect my children and you if you are under 60.

As many of you know, I have been on a deadly serious crusade to awaken all my Protestant and Catholic Brothers to the fact that their little sects numbering about 38,000, and in the case of Catholics their sleepiness), are going no where to solve this huge DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEM.. Your little denominations have no structure no unity and are not able to unitedly do anything about it. It is all just ineffective individualism.
In other words... Do your own thing in your very ineffective little sect... I should know I was one of you for nearly 40 years...However there is a solution and this time a military solution will not be necessary as Our Lady of the Rosary, says the late Archbishop Fulton J Sheen, will do it for us..please check the links which come up when you Google Bishop Fulton Sheen, Mary and the Muslims..
We just have to do our part and promote the Holy Rosary Prayer..There is no stronger prayer after that of the HOLY MASS which of course is number one..
In every 5 decades we say six Our Fathers... The Lord's very own Prayer! The All Powerful Name of Jesus is mentioned at least 66 times at any one rendering of the full 5 decade Rosary Prayer..
ITS TIME FOR ACTION..
THE LUXURY OF JUST SITTING AROUND AND HOPING FOR THER BEST IS OVER.

Our Lady of the Rosary
Thursday October 7, 2010
Pope Leo XIII designated it so is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, which falls on October 7. Like many Marian feasts, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary celebrates the protection of Christians through the intercession of the Mother of God; and, like many feasts toward the end of the liturgical year, it commemorates a struggle with the forces of Islam.
In this case, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary commemorates the victory of Christian naval forces at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. At a time when Christian Europe was being torn apart by internal strife and the Reformation, Don John of Austria destroyed the Turkish fleet in the Gulf of Lepanto. His victory was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom rosaries were offered and processions were made in Rome on the day of the battle.
The feast was instituted by Pope St. Pius V shortly after the victory, and Pope Clement XI extended it to the entire Church in celebration of another victory over the Turkish Muslims in 1716.

Please get back to me with your comments!!!
Father B this is definitely one for YOU!!
Church in Need organisers, This is definitely one for you too just as it is for me and all serious Christians around the world.....
Legionnaires of Mary,....... a call to spiritual arms!!!
Pray the Holy Rosary at least once a day.
To those of you who have more than one rosary, give it away and help someone else to catch fire too.
