(With coming addendums - - - Of course! And, it all depends on world events as well as spiritual pursuits)

To All of you who view this, and

to all my spiritual children in the

vineyard of this life and the life to Come;

Blessings and good thoughts do I extend to each and every one of you...

    I am told that with what the government is doing and has been doing, it is more apparent and evident of what this Jurisdiction's Web Site has been saying about Government's incursion, especially here in the United States of America, into destroying the values of Religious people and their various church teachings, more so if it is truly founded, grounded and based in the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ.

    One glaring example of what I am referring to is the now cost and redefining of what Medicare and other medical programs and insurance companies must provide, especially those churches who have employees... having to pay for other children's and people's abortions as well as other life destroying medications.  All of which goes again the Doctrines of the Churches.  No longer is Government separate from church or Church from Government... but Government over the Church, dictating, annihilating the fundamental rights of one's belief or faith... Thus we have posted an article that pretty much spells out what is happening.  Go To: 02-05-2012 More on the Obama mandates pro-abortion policy on faith-based organizations ... and you may also be interested in this link:  Go to: 02-04-2012 Orthodox Catholics, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and many others asked to Unite for this reason...

    Aside from that particular issue involving "medical" rights and "religious" rights, we turn to another item that infringes upon "Religion" although the primary thrust of the article is one's house/home... Go To: 02-06-2012 OUR NEW POLICE STATE: Is Your house, home, even your church, safe from unlawful Police Entry?

    Thus one has only to ask, "Who is that guy sitting in the White House these days?"  Well, that too is answered by the following link as a starter.  Go To: 01-29-2012 OBama is caught in lies and the law in Georgia

     From Saint Jerome Emiliani (1481 - 1537) as brought to us by Brother Richard Higgins, you may wish to consider the following....

"If then you remain constant in faith in the face of trial, the Lord will give you peace and rest for a time in this world, and forever in the next." - Saint Jerome Emiliani (1481 - 1537) Feast Day February 8

(with all that is going on throughout the world with increased attacks on Catholics and Christians of all faiths, this is a well timed quote.)

God Bless (Not to be taken lightly)  Think About it!  What does it mean when one says, "God bless" or "God Bless You"?

Brother Richard (Higgins) Obl.

     And even now we are witness to the daily television news media who are not necessarily reporting the whole facts of what is happening to our nation's economics... going further and further in debt to other countries as well as our own people too.  Impacting Charities, Non-Profits, Churches, and worse...

    As already reported (See: 01-03-2012 As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather ) the Sun is starting up to a higher phase or pitch of intensity that is bringing about Solar Flares that will become far worse than what mankind has ever seen in recorded history which will have an even greater impact on this earth...

    Are you like the many who are rushing out to get MRE's for that time on which you may find the supermarkets bone dry or when the law of the land has broken down with martial law imposed and roaring prices going beyond the roof?  Many are doing just that... And, we have posted information about that too at our DAILY NEWS section.  Hopefully and prayerfully, none of these things will happen... but it surely sounds like it will happen.  People have been watching the horrors as their legislators in Congress biker and fight amongst each other, doing what they want to do and not what the Will of the People want them to do... We see candidates for the office of the President use negative adds about each other and not a one of them seem to have a clean slate of sorts... It is again about, money and power!  Certainly its not about people, except when and where they can be controlled without their consent.

Which means your very religious rights are being destroyed along with your civil liberties as provided in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 

    About the only candidate who isn't acting like a gigolo to the voters appears to be even keeled Rick Santorum, it would seem, ? ? ? Not one of the Candidates actually meets the standard of having a true American concern for the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the voters of this nation... Yet, the least likely to do them wrong appears to be Santorum... thus far... Politicians are like the Sanhedrin and Pharisess of the times of Jesus Christ's life on earth!

    So, the last question may be, "What are you going to do?" 

    My suggestion is to read the article, "Prayer Changes Your Brain in 4 Astonishing Ways"  and probably "The Tragic Story of Christianity: How a Pacifist Religion Was Hijacked by Rabid Warmongering Elites" for a real dose of reality... in your spirit and in your life....

    Truthfully, there are very many news articles that can be accessed at this website by exploring the links such as DAILY NEWS on the "Home Page" and the DAILY NEWS ARCHIVE....

    Prayer from the heart can be one of the most powerful influence we have to change things... Changing things through prayer must be honest, truthful, open to God in speaking to Him and asking for help!  Help will come, when there are more than enough people to pray daily... Yes, I said, DAILY!   It costs nothing but a little time at night or in the morning or even during the day... constant prayer, consistent prayer, honest prayer from the heart!

For the New Year of 2012

[ From the Staff at Apostle1.com: Many of you already have experienced the numerous times in which our Vladyka has attempted to provide advice to many of you about what may happen in times to come.  And, for some of you, the times have come... and passed.  Thus, we provide this reminder so that those who may read the following from our Vladyka may learn and know that he is not bluffing or full of 'hot air' as some have said.  While he does not claim to be a foreseer or have clairvoyance whatsoever, the signs of the times and being in touch with those whom our Vladyka maintains contact, surely provides a means for him to write the following as well. Take heed and be prepared both spiritually and materially! You have nothing to loose except your faith and your freedoms! ]

Beloved in Jesus Christ and the Most Holy Theotokos

and to those who view this message; Blessings indeed;

    All to often we are assaulted by thoughts, images and words that make us stop and wonder about what is going on around us.  Sometimes such leads to actions and activities not necessarily wholesome.  Others may lead us into depression.  And yet others may lead us to take an attitude of, "Oh well... " and go on in life without doing any thing beyond our normal daily routine.  I make no apology for my verbosity this time around... Lest you pay a high price for failure to consider what I ask of you in spirit and in truth as you continue to read this!  For not only you and me, but for so many others near and far will be affected in one form or another by your failure to consider, pray and act!

    This was brought to my attention by many e-mails from both faithful and friends who had been told that the 911 inaugural celebration of the Twin Towers and what has been built in memory, would not allow for any "Christian Prayers".  What was even worse, is the fact that while there was never, ever an Islamic (Muslim) Mosque on the 911 site when the Twin Towers were destroyed by Muslim fanatics... our so-called leaders have built a Muslim Mosque on the site. 

    What is even more worse than this is the fact that a Greek Orthodox Church was destroyed in the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City on 911 (ten years ago)... and Federal, State or local governments refuse to rebuild the Greek Orthodox Church.  They, misguided by the U.S. Constitution, refused!  Yet, our very governments have spent billions upon billions to rebuild Muslim (Satanic Religion of Islam) Mosques in Iraq and other countries without rebuilding those Christian churches destroyed by the very same Muslim people who also murdered thousands upon thousands of good Christians.  What does this tell you about God's lifting of His hand from the United States of America? 

    Our Country is in support of a Palestinian state (Muslim - Religion of Islam) and tells Israel to basically, so-to-speak, stand down...  while the satanic religion's followers, Muslims, launches their attacks against Israel and have been refusing to accept Israel's right to be a sovereign nation.  Our government, the United States of America, is rejecting all that we have once held near and dear in both spirit and truth, even to the subtle but noticeable rejection of Israel's rights too in spite of all the political band-aide speeches by Obama and Hilary Clinton.

    It is not the individual Muslim (faithful of Islam) that we are against... so much as the Satanic doctrines and ideologies of their Satanic religion which was brought into being by the writings of Mohammed, a Pedophile and murderer of millions upon millions by his creation of their so-called Holy Book (of Satan) called the Koran (Quoran)... of which parts are copied from the Jewish Old Testament and the Christian New Testament... perverting and distorting those writings via their Koran (Quoran) ... Remember, a faithful Muslim must take their understandings and orders from their Imams who take their orders from others over seas... And, it goes on from there. 

    As you already know from the electronic news media (for what is allowed to be made public and much that is not) a Muslim will commit "honor killings" of his own family members amongst other things.  If he is ordered to eventually murder and kill those in the U.S.A by stealth or skullduggery... He must, or find his own family murdered.  Eventually, as far fetched as it may seem... it will happen!  And often it may be our own government who will be behind them as some States of the U.S.A. have allowed for the Muslim's Islamic (Satanic Religion) to bring their "Sharia Law" into effect in some areas ... Their God, whom they call "Allah" is nothing more than the Moon God of an Arabic Pagan religion.  Therefore, "Allah" is not the same God of Israel (Jews) and Christians... Not by one whit is there any relation or likeness. 

    It is no wonder many Christian faithful and friends are distraught!  It is no wonder our nation, as well as the world, is indeed bearing the brunt of increased destructive weather issues, volcanoes, earthquakes and more... God is trying to tell us something. 

    Christian Prophecy says there is coming a time in which this world will become a One World Government and a One World Religion!  It is slowly taking place now!  And the portents of these things I've already stated above have begun and far too many of you are asleep with your heads stuck in the proverbial sands of fear.  What more do you, as a people of faith need to wake up?

    As a Christian, a true follower of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ - - -  you are supposed to be bound up in and with your own abilities and willingness to stand strong, to stand true and therefore you must speak up!  Yet, far too many of you have buried your proverbial heads in the sands of fear!  You do nothing to take control of your government to re-establish that which once was... Your children's education in the schools are filled with such that praises the satanic religion of Islam (Muslim), distorts history and denies Christianity.  And, you... are letting it happen!

    Your Christian faith, meaning your so-called living, life and belief in the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ requires your external and internal actions to act and speak in order to keep that which is right, true and correct.  But, again, your heads are in the sands of fear!  With the sitting President, Obama, being supported by 80 percent of Muslims in this country because of his initial Muslim beliefs having been and are (hidden secretly) as they are... the proofs have been all around you, yet you have let this country, its legislators, etc. to not challenge him on his birth nor challenge him on his actions to pass certain highly questionable laws, etc. - - - without the full membership of the congressional houses being in Washington, D.C.  A political ploy taken time and again by him to bring about many things that are considered to be illegal and against our Constitutional guarantees of this Republic, the United States of America.  

    It has been opined that with the Obama leadership, the whole dedicational remembrances of 911 is nothing more than obfuscation of the true American way as his leadership has been, more than any other, destructive and continues in destroying not only the American way of life and self governance, but the some-what Christian identity it once had through his interference to promote the false and misleading Satanic Religion of Islam... and those who adhere to it!

    Our faith depends on our abilities to stand strong and true as FAITHFUL.  To be faithful means to act in an appropriate and proper manner in both prayer, worship and such that keeps your country solid and strong.  This country is not solid and definitely is no longer strong! For the priorities of this country have waxed cold and indifferent not only to the citizens, but to the nations, especially Israel through its promoting such as has been prophesied on many an occasion.

    To be Holy one must learn to be humane... and to be humane means to stand strong for that which is right, proper and true in both spirit and in truth!  And to be humane is a requirement to become Holy, to stand up for right versus wrong, for the rights of others and self in both religious and other areas such as the illegal immigration issue whereby Obama, once again, has signed a Waiver for mass illegals to become citizens while they glut and plunder our physical resources to the detriment of you, the people. These illegal are not Christians no matter what they say or they would have abided by the very Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ who reminds us that any other country we go into, we must obey the law of the land... Illegal immigrants do not or they would not be illegal entries into the United States of America. 

    What happened during WWII with the Jews being rounded up and taken to concentration camps where they were tortured, experimented on and in some instances used for sex (both male and female) ... no one spoke up or did anything to stop it because it happened where one by one was taken away in almost the "dead of night" to begin with until the Nazi regime realized there was no resistance and then did it openly against the Jews in the day light.  One by one and no one stood up for any one of them until it was far too late.  Believe it or not, that ideology is so prevalent today in the machinations of our own government with regards to not only our involvement in the wars across the waters, but on our home soil regarding the defense of this nation and its economic tribulations, its unemployment and worse! 

    There will be many who will take issue against me for speaking and writing in this manner. 

    But there is nothing in the New Testament Gospels that would have me say anything different than what I've said, time and time again. 

    There is nothing in the Old Testament that would say otherwise either... Yet, many would say I should "Pray" and say little.  I do pray... for even my unworthy repentant self... But I also pray that you will awaken and recognize that Prophecy itself is a warning of the signs of the times which does not negative our use of the FREE WILL that God gave us to turn our lives, this nation and even the world around, away from the destructive path it is going toward.  Doing this not just to save our religious rights to worship in our way of spiritual and material truth, but in ways that have to do with our freedoms to help each other, healing the wound of this nation first before we try to heal the wounds that have been made to other nations whether by us or them or any one else.  We cannot do for others what we must first do for ourselves... And many there are who feel we have helped too much, other nations while letting ourselves to fall into both economic and worse areas which is driving us into becoming a 3rd world country and not a leader... either for ourselves as citizens or others... All of this is one of the causes for which a One World Government may eventually come about... But, what are you going to do about it NOW and for your children, their children and future posterity, if any exist by then at all????

    God will not help us unless we FIRST help ourselves as we were, as said, given FREE WILL of which He does not and will not interfere with unless we have done everything possible and then, SECOND, it may be that our prayers might be heard, but not until... (Of the FIRST, it includes the fact that we must act, pray and worship according to our nature and degree of ability as the Holy Apostles of Jesus Christ did and as we, this nation, once did!)

    I have been told by several different clergymen that my words are like rain drops that wet the head and body or, shall I say, the appetite of people... but then, the words (rain) dry up and people move on without remembrances... Well, isn't that what they did when the Holy Prophets spoke, and many of Holy Apostles of Jesus Christ and many holy ones down through time and history?  Oh, right!  Lest I forget... And, I am no holy prophet, although I am a consecrated Metropolitan Archbishop (an Apostle of Jesus Christ's in a long line of succession) ...

    People do not wish to remember their heritage of true and factual history, the struggles of people before them for the faith and for freedoms... Woe be unto them.  Shame, Shame, Shame!  I am provoked and pricked in my heart to repeat these many things in as many ways possible with hope someone is listening with spiritual eyes and ears beyond their material ones.

    One can run and hide behind monastery or convent walls, or behind the 4-corners of their houses and homes... but the truth of the matter is that He, the Lord Our God Almighty, does see, hear and know all that you do. He knows your heart and mind!  Unworthy wretched ones that we are... He will turn towards you with LOVE if you but pray for material and spiritual strength, to act in a manner to set aright those things that need to be done in your house, your neighborhood, your county, your State and your Nation!  For you will create, as a pebble thrown into the water, a great wave of washing that cannot help but turn this country around... but it has to begin with YOU!

    Inasmuch as a great news reporter did not say one word about religion, it was implied in what he did say...

"We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular. This is no time for men . . . to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities."- Edward R. Murrow (March 9, 1954)
