Fifth Joyful Mystery of Our Holy and Blessed Mother Mary

Finding Jesus in Temple at Age 12

Jesus was twelve years old and Joseph and I, as custom dictates, wished to take Him to Jerusalem for the Passover. We went and we were filled with joy to worship God with His people. After the days of Passover were done, Joseph and I went back to Nazareth in the caravan of family members and friends that we came in. Joseph went with the men and I with the women. The children were either with their fathers or mothers. Both of us thought that Jesus was with the other. When evening came, Joseph and I came together and we did not find Jesus neither among our relatives nor among our friends. So we decided to go back to Jerusalem to look for Him. My heart was torn in two: the sufferings predicted by Simeon were already starting. "What happened to my Son?" I questioned. It took us two days to go back to Jerusalem and on the third day we found my Son in the temple. He was among a group of elders, rabbis, and He was reading the Law with them. They were discussing the Law of Moses: He astonished the elders who marveled at His insight to the Law. As I was hearing Him, there was an amount of joy: joy to hear my Son teaching. God was giving me a taste of what my Son would be doing during His earthly ministry. I ran up to Him and said, "My Son, why did You do such a thing? Your father and I with so much sorrow have been looking for You." Jesus looked at me with Love and yet with conviction and He said to me, "But why were you looking for Me? Did you not know I should be about My Father's business."

My children, do not cling to anyone that you love. Everyone has a mission, especially your children that God has given to you. Pray for religious vocations. Pray for vocations to the priesthood. Pray that Christian families will be obedient to the Father. Pray for the unity and the strengthening of all Christian families that they will truly bring the Kingdom of the Father to this earth.

Second Sorrowful Mystery of Our Holy and Blessed Mother Mary

2. The Scourging at the Pillar  My Son was sent to Pilate after being judged by the Jewish authorities, I was there in spirit: I heard Pontius Pilate as he came out to talk to the crowd. He said: "I find no fault in this Man worthy of death: so I will have Him scourged: then I will set Him free." Pilate said this to placate the crowd because he knew my Son was innocent of all the accusations that they were throwing at Him. Pilate sent my Son to be scourged: He was whipped. The normal procedure was to be whipped thirty-nine times. My Son was whipped furiously: the demons took possession of the soldiers. All the anger of hell was vented out on my Son. At that moment, I asked the Father to spare my Son from dying at the scourging and the Father answered my prayer: and still the soldiers that scourged my Son were filled with the very hatred of hell itself. That was the reaction they had to the purity of my Son. When Jesus received all this scourging for the love of you, it was be...

Ch LXXIX

The Forgotten Books Of Eden A wicked plan is carried to a tragic conclusion. Cain is frightened. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The seven punishments. Peace is shattered . AND so they went on, until they came to a lonely place, where there were no sheep; then Abel said to Cain, "Behold, my brother, we are weary of walking; for we see none of the trees, nor of the fruits, nor of the verdure, nor of the sheep, nor any one of the things of which thou didst tell me. Where are those sheep of thine thou didst tell me to bless?" 2 Then Cain said to him, "Come on, and presently thou shalt see many beautiful things. but go before me, until I come up to thee." 3 Then went Abel forward, but Cain remained behind him. 4 And Abel was walking in his innocence, without guile; not believing his brother would kill him. 5 Then Cain, when he came up to him, comforted him with his talk, walking a little behind him; then he hastened, and smote him with the staff, blow upon blo...

Demonology Chronicles #1

 In the beginning there was rock, lava and fire. There was a lot of Fire. God said,  "Let there be rock, lava and fire." And so there was a lot of rock, a lot of lava and a lot of Fire. More Fire than rock. More Fire than lava and more Fire than Fire. Demons were created from Fire. And they loved the Fire. There was Fire in their bones, and under their skin.  One day a demon was walking. Going to the Fire pit as usual. To hang out with his friends. He passed the gigantic rock stature of Lucifer. He looked at the statue and clasped his hands together once out of respect. Some demons were hanging out by the statue. Talking politics. He passed them and kept going to find his friends. He saw them and waved.  "Hey Bone Eater, Bone Tenderizer." "Hey Bone Crusher." They were eating some skins.  "What are you guys eating, I'm hungry." They gave him some.  "It's fresh, some human got dropped today." Bone Tenderizer said. "That's...
