HAITIAN TRAGEDY TOUCHES HEARTS LOCALLY

     Alix Fils-Aime, locutionist and founder of the Arise, Jerusalem, Arise Ministry was recently interview by Peter Becker, the editor of the Wayne Independent Newspaper in Honesdale, PA, about the devastating earthquake which struck Alix's homeland of Haiti.

     Alix, a Lakeville resident in Wayne County, PA, who was born and raised in Haiti and who immigrated from Haiti to the United States in 1954, suffered the loss of a relative in the earthquake. Despite the loss of a loved one and massive destruction in Haiti, Alix stated that " This isn't God fault."

"RENEW MY CHURCH "

Alix Fils-Aime, mystic and founder of the Arise, Jerusalem, Arise Ministry, has been writing a three part series of articles based on his spirtual experiences throughout his life with God and Our Lady of All Graces. This series of articles is called " Renew My Church".

Our Lord and Our Lady have called all of us to become the " New Jerusalem"; to rebuild and fill our temples with the Holy Spirit through prayer, especially the " "prayer weapons" given to us for our times by Our Lady of All Graces, through acts of charity and especially by receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.

The three part articles on " Renew My Church" are written in preparation for a very special announcement coming this January 2010.

EUTHANASIA IS HERE

by Alix Fils-Aime

Euthanasia is looked upon by many people as Mercy Killing. A horse breaks its leg and out of compassion you put it to sleep. However, Euthanasia is a cold act of cruelty to humans who in their last days deserve the respect of those who are now in a position to help them live a better life, in spite of the handicaps that come with old age. There are terminally ill people or some severely impaired by accidents and those maimed as a result of war and other forms of violence who are encouraged to recourse to assisted suicide.

Euthanasia is here but if you state this, you will be told that this is nonsense. Ours is a voice but a small voice. It is the voice of reason, the voice of peace, mercy and compassion because the Holy Spirit guides our thinking and our actions. There are people in our time who feel that the elderly and the handicapped are using too much money from the funds of our Health Care System. The elderly have lived long enough and the belief among some economist is that they have very little, if anything, to contribute to our fast spaced society. Their conclusion is that the elderly need to make room for the young by forfeiting their right to live.

The young politicians who are serving our nation today do not realize how time creeps up on us and that before they know it, their lives will be looked upon as useless as well. We should recall the ultimate sacrifice of Saint Maximilian Colby who offered his life in exchange for that of a family man ready to be executed in a concentration camp during the second world war. Father Colby was not an old man but a man of compassion and mercy. He respected life in others and was ready to die to protect their right without concern for his own life. Most people think of sacrifice as something offered by someone else. Selfishness is so prevalent in modern man’s heart! Jesus once said to me that when I minister in His name, I must minister in the name of love.

New life in the mother’s womb is also sacrificed through the process of Abortion. This process is now being implemented by the misguided and selfishly inspired Watch Dogs of our Society. Abortion is promoted because of the vast amount of money to be made in exchange for the life of a child in the mother’s womb. This action is precipitated by evil sinister advice and motivated by greedy advisors disguised as caring friends.

Unfortunately, most people do not experience love. This is obvious as we see the bonds of marriage crumbling around us. Too often partners cannot love and forgive when difficulties arise. Those who promote Euthanasia do not experience the infinite love of God who hides His face from us because He is Holy. The purity of God’s presence to man’s vulnerable bodies is like dry wood in a furnace. The wood will be devoured by the fierceness of the fire. Since God cannot be seen in this life, people tend to deny His existence and consider life an accident of nature. For those who have not experienced the infinite love of God, even slightly, it will be very difficult to understand that the infinite and most potent presence of love will immediately melt all life to oblivion. No material entity can exist and not be extinguished or obliterated by the sight of God’s presence. Yet, God created the material in its glorious form. It was the sin of our first parents that reduced the life giving Spirit of God that was in the original creation to material consistency.

Mankind is provided a soul, an intrinsic parcel of God’s being when man was created in the image of his heavenly Father. In spite of the curse of the sin of disobedience, God is still our Father because He lives in us and remains a source of life for all that exists today and forever. The people who are fortunate enough to have mystical experiences of the unseen world of God can only experience the sublime in the dimension of the Spirit. Otherwise, they would cease to exist because to see God or even the least of His holy angels would make it impossible for them to survive the phantasm of that inexplicable experience. Saint Paul speaks of this mystical experience and he was not sure that he was "...in or out of his body."

To understand God, our heavenly Father is to experience His merciful Heart. Those who have experienced such a blessing ought to witness and speak of the goodness of the Lord our God. Life is precious but do we really believe it. It occurs to me that only in death do we eulogize and speak of the good we see in people. It is almost a superstition that we not speak badly of the dead. We lie to ourselves and we lie to people because often the truth is too offensive to talk about.

Most of us live in a world of dreams and when reality confronts us, and we are faced with the possibility of death for one we love, suddenly, we consider the state of our faith and how real God is. It is not only the elderly but people in dire difficulties whose life can be endangered by laws that are unjust and deny help to the badly injured. About three years ago, a frightening situation confronted me. I was called in the night to rush to the hospital as someone very dear to me was facing death from a tragic accident. His injuries were such that out of pity it would be best to Euthanize him and spare him the difficulties of a diminished life. This consideration would never enter my mind nor would I have the right to make such a decision. The life of a young person must never be compared to that of a horse with broken leg. Besides, our judgment and prognosis are generally far short of God’s providence and perspective of life. Jesus says " as far as the heavens are from the earth, so far are God’s ways above your ways."

The ride to the hospital lasted more than an hour and as my wife and I prayed, we knew in our heart that God would not allow this final separation to come so prematurely. We believed firmly that he would survive and return to his duties within months. However, looking at his broken body and the suffering that he was enduring, it was hard to believe that he would ever recover. I tried to explain to him and those who visited him that God would spare him. In the morning when the doctors visited again, they concluded there was hope for him to survive the injuries but they might have to amputate one severely injured leg and arm. The next prognostic improved. His leg and arm would be spared but they might have to amputate some of his toes and once more, they were wrong.

His amazing recovery, although very painful to him and to those of us who love him did not surprise me. He was able to endure countless operations on his broken bones. I knew in my heart of hearts that he would be spared. This led me to remember the time when I was in a painful and stressful situation. I had to go daily to the hospital for radiation treatments to eliminate the cancer from my body. I prayed to the Father in heaven to watch over me. He said to me then: "Dear child, there is nothing for you to worry about. However, there are other sick people coming every day for therapy and some of them are not going to survive their ailments. Pray for them and be merciful." Since then, I never fail to pray silently for those who suffer and experience difficulties in their lives, be it at the hospital or anywhere else.

While visiting in the intensive care unit of the hospital, I noticed a elderly woman. She was small in stature, slightly bent as if her pain was too much for her to carry. I would watch her come and go many times, in between visits, perhaps to stretch her legs or get some fresh air. Looking at her, I felt my heart break, and I knew it was the Holy Spirit in me experiencing the pain that this lady was going through. I did not know who she was visiting until one day some of the family gathered around her in tears. It seemed they had received very bad news about their loved one.

I waited for a chance when the lady was alone and approached her. She was very distressed. It was her son being cared for and the news of his condition was simply hopeless. I told her that I would be praying for her son and she seemed comforted by my promise. When I returned to the rest of my family, I closed my eyes and began to pray. The Holy Spirit led me to pray, not for the son who was hospitalized but for the little lady who was breaking my heart. I prayed that God would be merciful to her.

This experience was a blessing for me because I began to understand the mercy of God. I recalled the time when Jesus encountered a funeral. A woman’s son was being carried to the burial place. Jesus approached the woman walking behind the casket. "Is this your only son?" Jesus asked. He then gave life back to the young man. In those days, the son was the only support for the widowed mother and so, it was merciful of Jesus to bless her with the life of her only son. Jesus’ concern was not for the son who was about to meet His heavenly Father but for the woman whose pain Jesus could commiserate with in light of His own concern for His Mother who nurtured Him in His younger days. Before long, She would suffer the terrible loss of Her own Son by means of the crucifixion.

There were other times when Jesus performed miracles such as in the case of Lazarus buried in the tomb for at least four days. It is said that Jesus wept bitterly in front of the burial place. Was it perhaps, because He was thinking of His passion and death in the not too distant future? Was it the sadness of the sisters who truly believed that if Jesus had been there, their brother would not have died? Was Jesus concerned at all about Lazarus, a just man returning to His Father in heaven? When Joseph, Jesus’ foster father died, did Jesus try to keep Him alive? Jesus knew that it was a son of God returning home to his Father in heaven. What could be better than that?

So now, it is time to think about God, the heavenly Father, who waited patiently for the return of His child to Him. A majestic place has been prepared and love as never experienced on earth is there to welcome the missing child. Jesus spoke about the Prodigal son and the Father waiting for the return of His adventurous child coming home to him. The Father sees him coming in the distance and runs to meet and embrace his child that was loss but now has been found. The Father returns His son to the glorious way of life that was intended for him. The Father Jesus spoke about is our heavenly Father. Our God is kind and merciful, slow to anger and always ready to forgive and bless.

The mercy of God is first for the living because He never intended death for humanity. Jesus once asked one of His disciples to let the dead bury the dead and follow Him. The dead in Jesus’ mind was the people who do not take the time to come and hear the Good News of the Resurrection. There is a time to live and there is a time to die The children of God will be reunited to their Father in heaven at the time of their natural death. To try and precipitate this time is an abomination! This is the time when we place ourselves under God’s condemnation. Because He is patient with us, He gives us a lifetime to repent of our misdeeds but, we do not know how much of this present day is ours. We do not know our future the way God sees it and we take chances when we misuse this time of mercy given to us by our loving Father in heaven. We must be vigilant and protect life in others and that is how we secure our own. God’s mercy is with the parent grieving the loss of a child. We suffer the death of a child because we know how much we are going to miss that child. However, alive, we remain constantly in God’s holy presence because He is all seeing and all knowing. It is God’s will that children care for their parents in their old age, waiting to bury them in God’s time, not before. It is as normal for the elderly to desire to live a long life, as it is for young people who envision the future with great expectation. When there is sickness and suffering, it is the faint hearted who desire to terminate the life of a parent because they do not know there is redeeming grace in suffering. The crucifixion was painful enough for the Mother to witness but the seed of life that was planted in the tomb grew with such power, breaking the shadow of death that was hanging over the head of God’s children.

All these things and more danced in my mind as I prayed for the little lady. The next morning when I returned to the hospital I saw her again. I was walking towards the room where my loved one was being cared for and she was returning from visiting her son. She stopped me saying, "OH! The power of prayer!" Her son had completely recovered. Truly a miracle had been granted and, he encouraged his mother to go home and rest because, by tomorrow, he would be going home. Perhaps these stories may give hope and strength to some of you who may be facing very painful decisions. Never forget that God is always listening and hoping for you to make the right decisions in difficult situations. However, whether you are young or old, it is never time to lose hope. Your Father in heaven is infinitely patient; don’t be in a hurry to act on things that time appears to necessitate. Considering the mercy of God, there is never a good reason to give up living. Life is precious, it is sacred because our bodies, young and old represent the New Jerusalem, the living temple of the Holy Spirit.

Our heavenly Father is merciful and compassionate. Open your hearts and bravely suffer the pain of others so that the Holy spirit living in you may heal and cure the ones for whom you pray. It is also good to remember that only God is the healer and when He grants you a special favor, report it to a Priest and ask him to pray for the healing that you have received to be sealed for you by the authority of the Holy Roman Catholic Church that he represents because the Church is where all healing and cures are generated. While the priest is first of all a man, fragile as any, it is his priesthood that distinguishes him from all others. He is the man by whose hands the sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated and by whose prayer the bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Let us remember that in the eye of God, all life is precious and that no one is too young to die or too old to be permitted to dream of better days ahead. God’s rain, it is written, falls on the good and bad alike. Let us add that His Sun also shines on the young and old alike. No one is given authority to terminate life in the womb or in the nursing home. Let us give thanks and praise to the Father in heaven who so loves us that He gave His life for the salvation of all. Life is the gift of God’s love for us and this must be respected. Let us not fall into God’s condemnation by judging anyone to be fit for life or death since God will not judge us before the appointed time of our resurrection.

The Lord has said to me that "The judges of this world will be the first to be judged." Let justice prevail in your lives by not judging anyone to be unworthy to live lest you be judged unworthy to be resurrected. God’s justice and His mercy are one and the same. When we say we love God, we must demonstrate to Him how we respect the life of others, whether born or unborn. This is the teaching of the Church; this cannot be changed. When God places someone in a position of authority in His Church, it is our firm obligation to respect this person’s authority whether or not we agree with the decisions being made. It is our faith in God’s providence that something quite wrong can be made right if truly we believe that all authority comes from God and God alone!

We repeat often enough that God alone gives life. Why not believe that He will mend it when necessary for the good we can do on earth. Each of us have a mission on the earth. Jesus completed His within thirty-three years and said: "It is finished!" Others may need more time to complete their task. No one has the right to cut the tree before it bears its fruits. Jesus spared the barren fig tree, giving it another chance to bear its fruits. Someone may perish for lack of the goodness of the fruit that is intended to be generated in us. Let it not be said that we were the ones who caused famine in a land of plenty because we broke the law of God when we gave ourselves the authority to judge, compromise and terminate life. Life is greater than death and Love greater than the sum of all our fears because God’s peace can always be ours if truly, we believe.

                               IMPORTANT NOTICE

      FOR ALL CONCERNED CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.

                                     by: alix fils-aime

All across our nation, spirited Town Hall Meetings are erupting. People are clamoring for help and demanding respect for our constitution. Our nation is in a bad way and God’s condemnation is not giving us any hope of getting out of our dire trouble. The major problem we all face, whether or not we condone the sinister crime of Abortion, is that we all suffer the consequences of God no longer being on our side. However, He is watching carefully what we plan to do and at the precise moment when we, in greatest number, call for His help, He will decisively act on our behalf. He is well able to eliminate the various problems facing us, in the way that only the supreme God can. He is our heavenly Father. Although He may be extremely disappointed in us, He still loves us more than we can understand.

Already, as a sign of His mercy, He has allowed Our Lady of All Graces to come to us in Honesdale, PA. She is leading us with the goal of renewing the Church and all Roman Catholic Christians. As She predicted long ago, the end result will be that Abortion in its many forms will come to an abrupt end through the work performed on Her behalf, namely, the spreading of a Devotion to Her under the title of " Our Lady of All Graces".

In light of all the benefits we can expect from Her action in our midst, She is encouraging us to invite all Christian denominations to join us and form a fully united dedicated team to promote Our Lady who, by the generosity of Jesus Himself, gave us the most precious gift of a Mother in heaven, and now on earth. We already received the precious Gift of Christ in the Eucharist and now we receive the heavenly Grace of a loving Mother who is willing to guide us in our efforts to fight the common enemy, whoever it may be or where ever it can be found.

Already, Our Lady has provided us with many weapons to fight the evil powers that go against us and the Church. We have been given the PRAYER OF THE HEART to pray and save endangered souls. Jesus promised that if we remain steadfast in offering our hearts to Him through our Lady’s, our loved ones who walked away from the Church, endangering the life of their souls will be renewed in their faith, return to the Sacraments, and find salvation. We have received from Our Lady THE DELIVERANCE PRAYER to protect the Church and the ones we love from ever falling into the grip of the old dragon. We have also been blessed with the CHAPLET OF OUR LADY OF ALL GRACES, along with the DELIVERANCE OIL with which to bless ourselves and those who are in serious need of our assistance. There is also last but not least, THE NECKLACE OF LOVE of OUR LADY OF ALL GRACES, to be worn by those who seek Her protection in times of difficulties especially people in the armed forces who serve our country and all of our brave people serving in our Police and Fire Departments.

Dearest friends and children of Our Lady of All Graces, we desire to enlist you and invite you to participate in this Crusade for Life, seeking peace and prosperity at home for our loved ones, our nation, and other parts of the world. Prayer warriors are the people who will help our Lady defeat the old serpent and return our nation to God. People think of action and they fill up the Town Halls, screaming at their representatives whose agendas do not meet their needs. There is nothing wrong with people challenging those they have elected to protect their interest and welfare. We, the people, have the constitution of the United States of America behind us which guarantees us freedom of speech.

Dearest Children of Our Lady, it is well to remember that the power of prayer is ultimate "ACTION’, action at its best because when we pray, we are invoking God, asking Him to act upon our needs. There are those people whose faith relies solely on the material, forgetting that it is the Holy Spirit of God that created the entire universe, not the other way around. Prayer is Spiritual warfare at its very best. God empowers us when we pray with a contrite and cleansed heart. However, our Father in heaven has some expectations of His own, namely that we must comport ourselves in a Christ like manner. There is no greater power in prayer than when Our Lady adds Her prayers to ours, to achieve the special goal which She has come to Honesdale P.A. for. She has promised to add Her prayers to ours when we participate in the Novena dedicated to Her under the title of Our Lady of All Graces. We will gather blessings for our nation and for the world when we commit to pray a perpetual novena seeking Her help to deliver us fromour present state of chaos. This Perpetual Novena Devotion to Our Lady of All Graces is very dear to Her. For this reason, the people who pray for LIFE to endure may consider themselves blessed for promoting respect for the generous work of the Creator of heaven and earth. Babies in their mothers’ womb must not be permitted to be aborted mercilessly.

After a long period of prayer, along with the help of many generous people who have been called to dedicate their Perpetual Novena Prayers for the protection of life and the salvation of souls, we are reaching out to you. We are inviting you to join us and possibly, with time, add your Perpetual Novena Prayers to ours. We are called to become members of the vigilant army of Our Lady. We are the Prayer Warriors She is putting in place so that the entire world may experience the NEW PENTECOST predicted to take place but not able to come to us because hearts are not yet prepared for such a monumental experience.

Our Lady promises the NEW PENTECOST will take place in our time and the world will be renewed as the curse of the first offense loses its power over a new and reborn creation. It is going to happen for the joy and happiness of some who look forward to this event taking place in our time. There will be sadness for others who are too proud, too head strong and too greedy for the things of the world to waste their precious time praying when there is so much pleasure to enjoy in sinfulness. There are also the many who are confused and avidly searching for the truth of God. Dearest friends, it is for these troubled souls we need to pray and fast when possible because they are our brothers and sisters, perhaps our own children who are most in need of our prayers.

In order to facilitate your participation in our Crusade for Life, we are willing to send you FREE of any charge our Novena Booklet so that you may begin to pray and join forces with the many others who are already at work praying ceaselessly for an end to Abortion in our land.

The survival of our mission rests with people like you who are willing to respond to Our Lady’s call. Every name that we are able to add to our numbers carry us a step closer the victory of Our Lady over the evil forces seeking the destruction of our nation, and its people.

 When Our Lady encouraged us to pray Her Novena for nine consecutive months, starting on every first Saturday of every month, it was to remind us of the nine months Jesus spent in Her virginal womb. Some of us who have accomplished this have come to understand and feel the need to pray Her novena continually, never letting a day go by without being in prayerful communion with all the others who, likewise, are involved in the Perpetual Novena to Our Lady.

We are empowered to use the "Spiritual Weapons" to fight the enemy of the Church and that of all people. Our prayers contribute greatly to enrich our lives as we faithfully continue this Marian Devotion for the sake of the countless people who have lost their way and are still searching honestly for the Truth of God. Christ calls us to pick up our cross and follow Him. However, huge numbers of misguided people have adopted the values of the world over those of Christ. Fortunately, the good Lord has placed many of His highly elevated Priests in strategic positions in the Church to help guide us. We must encourage people to understand the true teaching of the Church and place their allegiances in the Bishops who are, themselves, obedient to the true teaching of the Church of Christ, namely, the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Please send for your Novena Booklet today. Do not delay, for time is critical. People all over the world are hurting and they are in great danger of losing their faith. Babies in the womb, continue to lose their lives. These are terrible times that are upon us. We are called to be hope for the world. Let us give thanks to Christ who lives among us, helping us who believe, because He is with us till the end of the ages.

Jesus and Our Lady of All Graces are counting on you; Please respond to their call.

ECONOMIC DISASTER

Dear friends in Christ, God, the Father of Jesus, our Father in heaven is most compassionate. Even when He closes a door, a window is being left open. Who in this generation is making an attempt to enter this wide open window and understand the plight of the people who have no home, no subsidence or any recourse to get out of their dire poverty because they are plagued by a heavy load of unpaid debts? An avalanche of pending debts is burying their faith and hope for a better tomorrow. Work is hard to come by! People, by the millions, are beginning to lose faith in our system of government. Wise and illustrious economists are trying to get us out of this predicament of mounting unemployment without success.

Our country was so blessed by God in the past and prosperity abounded with plenty for all. People often said that in America, money grows on trees. Surely someone must realize that God is no longer with us. Is the killing of the unborn, through the practice of abortion, causing blindness among the elite that govern this country? Can America survive with only eloquent and empty rhetoric? Will people survive on false promises? What can we really do without God? Holy Scripture tells us that unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain. We already know that without God, we can do nothing. Do we really believe this to be true? So we pray and we ask for wisdom because God, our heavenly Father, even when He is angry because of the cruel deeds we perform, still loves us.

Ask and you shall receive, says the Lord. We ask and we do not seem to receive. Are we asking for the right thing? Scripture tells us: Seek and you shall find...knock and the door shall be opened for you. Does anyone ask their Father for something to eat and be given food that is detrimental to their health. Jesus also tells us that if our father in the world knows how to give good things to us, how much more is our Father in heaven ready to give us the Holy Spirit.

Why the Holy Spirit? Or more precisely, who is He whose coming was predicted by the Christ. He came to the apostles in the Upper Room at the time of the first Pentecost. We must admit that the coming of the Paraclete began to change the face of the earth by turning worthless servants and followers of Christ into giants and demi-gods. However, they were not gods but people empowered by the Spirit of Grace that helps us change all things going wrong into the perfection of our new birth in Christ, the Savior.

Since our heavenly Father provided us with so much goodness, how is it that we struggle and find no reprieve from our problems that appear to get worse by the minute? Do we no longer remember to go to Him who loves us so much that He delivered His only begotten Son to die like a common criminal for the salvation of our soul. The human soul does not die because it is part and parcel of God’s divine soul. We who believe in the Gospel of Christ know that there is a heavenly place where good souls return to a life that is blessed and continue to live in the bliss of heavenly glory for all eternity. We also know how to be careful at avoiding the fires of Hell where all goodness, all peace and happiness dies. This is our fate, when we turn our back on God who ceaselessly call us to Himself. What is to become of us when we leave our heavenly Father no choices but to turn His back on us. God, our heavenly Father is forced to respect our "free-will" and leave us to ourselves, we who reject Him, to be consumed by the fires of Hell?

Now, the people Jesus rescued from the curse of death are forgetting His revelation to us that God is also our Father. So, we pray that our country may escape the fate of nations that are bankrupt in material, physical and spiritual ways. We search our hearts and we begin to discover our state of pride. We try to rebuild from the roof down instead of starting from the foundation up. We start with the powerful and the rich and still the economy refuses to move.

When we give to the rich to help the poor, we waste our efforts because the rich know how to amass and keep riches, which is why they are rich. Often the poor can be said to have been born poor. However, some people tend to spend out of control and wastefulness is why they often have very little or nothing at all to give. Therefore, the rich and the poor, for different reasons, are not able to give.

Jesus had a friend, Lazarus, who is now with Him in heaven. Lazarus was one of the richest men during Christ’s time. He was never forced to give up his wealth for the sake of the kingdom. His riches did not control him and he gave freely with a charitable heart. The rich young man, in the Gospel, was asked to give up his riches because it represented a danger to the life of His soul. Jesus recognized that the riches he inherited from his parents had already enslaved his spirit so that he could not grow to the extent he was called to spiritually. So, once more we ask whether or not we should continue to bail out the rich and rebuild from the roof down? How about rebuilding from the foundation up?

Jesus spoke often in parables and so in imitation of Christ, I challenge you to understand the meaning of this one. You are traveling on a narrow road, in your new vehicle and you come to a complete stand still. In front of you and behind you all the vehicles are backed up. Some of these cars are the newest editions and very comfortable. It can be said that they are the very best that can be purchased but they are all at a stand still on this narrow road because of an old dilapidated car that is falling apart ahead of them. The road is so narrow that no one is able to pass. So this poor individual whose car is in disrepair finds no one willing to help him by giving him a push towards the other end of the road. The people who have provided themselves with the best cars are angry at being called to push someone who has not been able to provide for himself the way most other people have? Is this selfishness or is it simply rude behavior tainted with pride?

Let us try to explain.. The broken down car in this parable represents our economy. The owner of the car represents the people laden with unpaid bills. Loaded as they are with debts, they are having difficulties. Paying their bills, they also lose their buying power and their homes are falling apart. Why should the ones who make sacrifices to pay their debts on time be forced to help those who are defaulting on theirs?

We bail out the banks and the large manufacturers. The insurance magnates are saturated with our tax money but still the debts are not being paid and this causes a mountainous problem for the economy of this nation. Jobs are not created and employment is at a stand still. It is well to think now of the cars backed up on the narrow path because the broken one obstructing the passage way is not being removed. Suppose now the people who cannot afford to pay their bills reach a point where they cannot get out of debt and at the same time they can no longer buy. When the average people, covered with indebtedness become unable to buy, markets collapse and, as we experience it today, the economy comes to a stand still.. The buyer is the engine which makes good sense of wise marketing principles. How can the roof of the economic structure not fail to collapse when the foundation is unsafe and insecure?

My dear friends in Christ, the answer is this, through good banking practices, let the government help the poor citizen in trouble pay of their debts, by providing them with government guaranteed loans with very low interest. It would be wise to make certain provisions to which they can agree, ensuring that they cannot enter the same situation once more under severe penalties. This is how you provide the tow truck that is able to remove the stranded vehicle from the narrow road so that all traffic may begin to move freely again. At the same time, it is our hope that the individual who are being helped does not become the property of the government, its slave.

Those borrowers, finding that they still have a little bit of money left after paying for their low interest "bail out" loans can now begin to buy again without falling back into debt. Protected by fair banking regulations and, making wise decisions for themselves, when people start to buy, good jobs are created. Rich and powerful manufacturers cannot survive on their own product when no one is able to buy. Give to the poor and you shall enrich yourselves. Die to yourself for the sake of your neighbor and you shall live forever. Protect your life and you shall lose it. Help the poor in memory of Christ and your rewards will be great in heaven, even in this lifetime. God bless all of you and may His wisdom penetrate your heart for the sake of those who have none.

If this inspired message speak to your heart, please pass it on and maybe, perhaps maybe someone who understands further what is said here will be able to make sense of this terrible financial gimcrackery that we are all experiencing. Pray that they be willing to explain it to those who have power but no wisdom to guide their actions. Perhaps, it is that those who are called to make urgent decisions on people’s financial affairs have some well guarded secret agenda of their own, turning us into fools, thinking that what we say matters much. People of America, beware of unscrupulous leaders who says one thing and does another.

Tax money is being provided as umbrellas to protect those who are in dire need of help. Yet the bulk of the Bail money is being kept for a later date use. Could it be destined to be used to saturate the market during the period before the next presidential election? Who can tell when things do not add up and hardly anyone seems to understand why. Many well known economists assure us that even with doing nothing, the economy will bounce back because it is resilient and perhaps, a little prayer will go a long way to bring God back to help us because, after all, the majority of the people of this great nation still say: " IN GOD WE TRUST"
