*John 6:66, Eternity with the Trinity Vs Eternity with the Beast: The Pearliest Pearl

By Father Yours

On this PEARLIEST PEARL of wisdom and more...

Beloved reader, ANYONE AND EVERYONE is invited to know this booklet and of whatever age. It is a doctrinal and somewhat autobiographical booklet mainly of nonfictional incidents, miraculous and so providential, and with a short section of a fictional dialogue. It is a spiritually ecumenical inspirational booklet.

The cover of The Last Supper is original and portrays the actual Holy Grail kept in Valenica, Spain.

It is hoped that this booklet will be translated well and in any and all languages even to reach even millions, God-willing.

It is great to have it historically begin in this Year of Faith.

Father Yours

FatherYours is currently a missionary priest working at the Mexican border, already for nine years, but due to an accident, is temporarily recovering in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is a priest with fifteen years of active ministry, until the recent accident with the eighteen-wheeler who jack-knifed in front of him and his now deceased driver, another priest. Over one hundred people who saw the photos of the whole front end smashed up have said that his survival was a miracle, and nobody has said anything less. His studies for the priesthood were completed entirely in Rome, Italy, over the course of five years. He comes from a large family in Waterloo, Iowa. His only other publication was simply a page long on St. Theresa’s Novena in a book, which received many stories of favors granted.

Holy Fidelity to: ‘All the Best for ABBA’

New Lifetime Motto of author Fr. Yours

Of ABBA’s will — when the Son of Man comes, will He find any faith on the earth? (Lk 18:8)

‘ABBA’ is of Aramaic origin. ABBA is our Heavenly #1 Person All-Divine.

Incomparable as God is, what can compare with being Face-to-face with GOD FOREVER, our Heavenly Mother Mary, and multitudes of perfected beings (angels tested once and who never sinned) and beings perfected (sinners unto saints after many testings)? May we be as holy as possible — For with God nothing shall be impossible [(Lk 1:37) KJB]. That’s my all-time favorite full Bible verse and for any crosses or crucibles of life. Even incomprehensible incidents after prayers for far better favors can be God’s providential will for greater sanctity — yet ever to ‘win over sin.’

Not to overdo names or numbers, yet nor to underdo them. A leader saw the Divine Design (‘DD’) God worked with this Johanine 6:66 verse and gave me the green light to publish this work. God can clearly will to work mysterious marvels with many signs. While John 6:66 is so needed today, here’s my all-time favorite part of a Bible verse: Ephesians 4:6 that there is – one God who is Father of all, over all, through all and within all (not pantheistically). The 1st Person of our Triune God is Omniamante (All-loving), Omniscient (All-knowing), Omnipotent (All-powerful) and more: Omniperfectus (All-Perfect) of all Divine Attributes.

The submotto to my New Lifetime one: even if we’re far less perfect (when more mistreated and attacked, etc.)… ‘All that matters most is holiness with our TRIUNE GOD with us — EMMANUEL!’

It’s good to offer initial thanks here to my publishers of iuniverse for more universal outreach of this book, too. Divine Providence led me to discover them for it. As a member of the ‘Universal Church’ on earth, their ‘iuniverse’ name resonates with it.

Numbers can even be of a most tremendous layout of God’s special love, especially if miraculously and extraordinary connected to lives (as in mine: shared in this book). Of course, by no means does it ever endorse gambling, numerology, or any possible evils at all – especially of the mark of the beast. Rather, numbers and names can be of Divine Designs (‘DDs’), especially with what we can identify as: ‘numerical and nominal signal graces.’ As to my New Lifetime Motto — ‘Father’ has various translations, and multiple cultural expressions (‘Pa’-‘Dad’-‘Tata’ etc.) exist. Yet ‘ABBA’ stays intact in all translations worldwide. Ex.: Abba, Father! (Rom 8:15) This book was composed in the lingua franca (English): in it, I love to pronounce His name both like FAAthAA (close to AAbbAA) and FAWETHER, so entirely AWESOME as The 1st Divine Person is! Please never get the mark of the beast (nor favor sinning around) no matter your needs during your lifetime: too, as it can ever end here in the twinkle of an eye. As all true love originates from the very 1st Person of our Triune God with The 2nd and 3rd Divine Persons, too, His love being ever the Best in Them, this my motto reflects Them. Triune God expresses the Divine Love of Jesus and the H.S. with Abba, deriving from Their Father and ours, ABBA-LOVE, and thus revealing why this motto serves for my lifetime and even beyond, into the next life.

This New Lifetime Motto is of the universal call by the H.S. following the example of Christ Jesus, so that united in mind and voice you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 15:6), yet certainly without also giving honors and more to the Whole Trinity, besides to honor (at least) our parents, etc. This motto ties into BLInc – in sound like the blink of an eye. B.L.Inc = Beatifying Love, Inc-omparably of GOD, and no matter the woes or foes or difficulties of life! BLInc can serve as a top ‘mind-remind’ for God’s love as the best love to ever will in our lives, even for those yet to discover God, or those who (have) yet who do not often favor His love beyond other favors yearned for. How can B.L.Inc serve? By any eye-blink, it can serve: even if the eye is in pain, yet especially if blinking on purpose as an eyeing mind-remind, even if this bit of lingua franca (English) is to be learned for the acronym. Why? Only Triune love, no matter the crosses to carry, is BEATIFYING Love unto the BEATIFIC VISION – face to FACE with GOD – thus of the GREATEST LOVE EVER HAPPIEST beyond even our imagination! How? Especially by Unconditional Love of GOD. Even though 3 Marys wept durng Christ’s Passion, how much they adored God for being privileged to behold our GODman’s incomparable love directly.

That Lifetime Motto can certainly attain to this follow-up one: Fidelity to Sanctity and Sanctity for Fidelity (since certainly not trying to be as holy as God wills can dip into infidelity). It ties too with another motto we can love Always seek to do what is best for one another and for everyone (1 Thes 5:15 verse from the OoR p. 1119). *OoR is an abbreviation in this book for the Office of Readings (writings of common patrimony). Beatifying means making happy and in holiness – referring to God. Amen, happy of soul is far more than just of the head (with or without a headache, thorn, attacks at the mind, etc.) or other. How Incomparable! In the twinkle of an eye, God’s ALL-GLORIOUS LOVE can be here with the new heaven and the new earth. Even before the Beatific Vision, God’s Love abounds to be experienced in our lifetimes, of course, and even by atheists or agnostics who have yet to experience God more directly of mind or more. AMEN, AMEN to BLInc! Beatifying Love, Inc-omparably of GOD, and through whomsoever, whatsoever, and whensoever via His sanctifying grace, divine mercy, and perfect love, etc., no matter what the ‘Stations’ of any daily crosses in our lives, and hopefully with Jesus our Life all the more. This ‘blinking’ part came out right on the memorial of the 2 Marys that were with Jesus and Mary on Calvary – Mary Salome, and Mary Cleophas (April 24 optional memorial: Obligatory – for Mass – Memorials have ‘M.’) Any blinking light can serve as a reminder, too, for BLInc: any green traffic light for the call of ABBA to growth in love (etc.); yellow-gold for the call to love in the H.S. (as Paul had on how love is patient, kind, etc.) and all the more ‘via Maria;’ red for love of Christ’s Paschal Mysteries in many ways throughout His earthly sojourn, and with us all here in sojourn as Emmanuel. As the lights flash and change, they can help us recall how to never forget that our lives can STOP at any twinkle of an eye – as close-calls in my life have taught and brought me more wisdom. [There, just added after praying my rosary in a Church of St. John where a stained glass window has a rose with those 3 colors: even a traffic light one block away was flashing green (highlighting the green of the leaves in that window, with yellow for its yellow stem, and red to its red petals. What a neat ‘mind-remind’ to love, too, as spiritual roses in rosaries are best with holy love.]

The New Lifetime Motto, and of holy fidelity to it - ‘All the Best for ABBA’ - runs directly against the grain of those turncoats in John 6:66 – At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. Relatedly, while in a hospital, I shared with a nurse who was not Catholic about this verse. She then stated aloud, happy to learn of this, We all need a wider revelation of Scripture! Thank you. Another motto is this: Live the Last Supper Mass of the Whole Christ (via the Corpus or Sanguis Christi) versus any ‘666y-back-turning’ to Christ the ‘Totus Christi’ per the Eucharist of the Holy Mass. Too, never get the 666 mark of the beast. So, all in one line: Live the Last Supper Mass of the Whole Christ versus any ‘666y-back-turning’ to Christ, and never get the 666 mark of the beast. They left the very ‘grain of God’ Himself: of what our All-Powerful Lord can even do with wheat, etc. Not only did they turn away from a humble carpenter: they ‘backed off’ from our only Savior, Eternal High Priest, and more: from the Living Bread from Heaven, His Body and Blood and Whole Being too (as also from the Chalice), from the Last Supper Table on as our ‘Daily Bread’ too. There, this was put here just after my ‘Holy power Hour.’ A ‘power Hour’ for ‘Holy Hour’? Yes. Did God lead me to call it such? [Explained in Ch. 7 on the Emmanuel Chaplet.]

*The John 6:66 verse is taken from the Bible of the lingua franca for easy translation (WEB: World English Bible). In this book, with its main source the Jerusalem Bible, only other Bibles of the public domain are noted when quoted – mainly used in my Litany of Thanksgiving. Feel free to sense that the Trinity (together with various angels, saints, and others) inspired and moved this book forth: especially the H.S. (since Jesus promised to ever have the H.S. with His Church), Mary the Mystical Rose, Joseph (in many ways), the Apostles Peter and John, etc. Surely holy popes can go on doing much in our lifetimes from Above to here below: St. Pius X, pope of the (Last Supper) Eucharist (as on the cover of this book); St. John Paul II too in my years in Rome… and even after he died, he truly helped inspire my life and this book (as shared in it).

As for book abbreviations within any Bible (with few exceptions), we have the simplest of 3 typical styles: for ex., of 1) Ex 2) Ex. 3) Exod. — we have Ex (the first style) for the O.T. Book of Exodus. One exceptional preference will be Jms instead of a common one of Js: his N.T. Letter will go beyond the briefer double consonantal style (Gospels listed - Mt/Mk/Lk/Jn). Why? To avoid the overtone it can have for some people, depending: of jazz, though often good music (nothing ‘jazzy’ in the Letter, as all know anyway). As is optional in lists, the period will be left off except for a special reverential tone to John’s Book of Revelations: Rev. rather than merely Rv – why? It can serve as a kind of ‘mind remind’ of reverence for God and His word. Also, it can highlight John’s last writings. Too, in honor of Holy Orders, ‘Rev.’ can echo ‘Reverend’ – even as John was a priest.

Whenever Jesus Christ for us (in different ways), let’s hope that He can and will find us (especially in any final moment of our lives) in constant prayer of perpetual adoration of God with whatever extra breath or step yet ahead. God is always with us. My fatal crash yet miraculous survival with the 18-wheeler, en route to Corpus Christi city, brought me easily to adore the Lord now and always via a personal one-liner reminder. One can keep a little prayer song as a mind-remind: a tool or means to stir up grace in us above any lesser matter or other of the day. ‘All the Best for ABBA’ in lyrical form, or to highlight highest honors to our Triune God alone: ‘AdoroTe devote LAaatriAH!’ [It’s how I love to pass my day along: of Latin ‘latria,’ for double ‘adoration’ emphasis in melody of ‘latens Deitas’ – yet for a phrasal prayer of wonderment of our God with that ‘AH!’ accented ending]. Indeed, God, I adore You even for every molecule of my being that You daily sustain, but especially for the invisible soul You give us in Your Image and Likeness… far beyond merely some excellent facial features for a head, etc. While mainly keeping my Lifetime Motto brief, it can expand in effects: for eg., ‘All The BEST for ABBA in the now: no matter the challenges, injustices, victimizations, (etc.) we may face.’ It can help preserve the motto more unconditionally. Of course, in one’s last instance on earth, ‘All the Best for ABBA’ doesn’t have to make it before the ‘Real Presence’ in any Church – though that would be great — for You God are infinitely Omnipresent (pantheistic - no). Jesus loves for us to be at the One Banquet, substantially (soul and body present), personally, frequently too: not merely symbolically (as some hold the Host to be), impersonally (like to a mere ‘spectator’ never receiving the Eucharist), or rarely. As ‘a family that prays together, stays together’ - all the more per the Holy Mass - then one’s home can be so less prone to being ‘a house divided against itself.’

God is Divine Wisdom (Love, etc.), ever knowing if we kneel, sit or stand (as in Ps 139) or live, or leave this life to go hopefully to God forever. Indeed, God’s Wisdom pervades and permeates all things (Wis 7:24)… and sustains every molecule of life, etc… no matter if crossed out or losing love(s), or if even thrown into a sewer like the girl Saint Felicula (around 90 A.D.), or into a holocaust like St. Max Kolbe. You my God are my #1 LOVE. Why not? ‘Latria’ is only for You. Too, spiritual and actual communion with Your Last Supper is basically ever available (even extraordinarily in some lives, per angels, etc.). Here’s one unconditional latria line: How easily God I can adore You, if even thrown into a sewer, like the little girl martyr Saint Felicula. This sentence is added now on this Solemnity of Christ the King — All the ‘latria’ possible to You, O Holy, Holy, Holy Triune God. Yes, adoring You O Lord will make me all the more ready for Your return on Judgment Day. Adoring only You, and the best constantly possible – from grace to grace, glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18/DRB) – enhances extension of Your love unto others, duties, etc. Better adoration of You, unto the very best that You will, unites us with the angels who ever sing Holy, Holy, Holy Lord… Judgment Day will be far easier by somehow doing the greatest for You even constantly, which also makes us quite ecstatic now: that is, perpetually adoring You as our main delight is of the most incomparable of loves possible, besides that of giving our lives over to you to the very extent of willing martyrdoms. (Besides ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ martyrdoms, St. Sebastian was a ‘double martyr’ for miraculously surviving arrows to die by beatings per the Emperor.)

Now, as to when God comes. People have longed for it and signs can signal it. Why He hasn’t yet come (as some even expected) is explained by St. Ephrem: that no one may think that He whose power and dominion rule all numbers and times is ruled by fate and time (OoR, p.16). While numerology is never to be advocated, our quote of St. Ephrem both perfectly pares and pairs with this book: for less write up on numerology. God can also work with numbers or anything willed. The quote summarizes much of this book: for God governs all time and rules over the beast and that 666 mark. Everlasting time relates to the eternal, too, as in dictionary listings: while we are not eternal, being humans of God our Creator and existing ever on by His will leads us to His Eternity. For Eternity has a primary sense for God alone, while ‘eternity’ with Him (of infinite time) or with the beast (of unending time) has a secondary sense with distinctly created individual beings (angels) that God will have exist even after death (people). How much greater YEY! (and more) in eternity with God than agh! with the beast. Therefore, more mottos can go this way: ‘All the Best for U(u)s.’ At the daily level, meaning God and (u)s together; it surely also invites ‘All the Best over the beast’ (over anything sinful or so evil). In echo of that motto, the Biblical verse that could be among our favorites, for you and Fr. Yours (likely, too St. JPII’s), would briefly be: Be holy in all you do (Lv 11:45). In its longer verse form: "be holy in all you do, since it is the Holy One who has called you, and scripture says Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pt 1:16). In short, Fr. Yours prefers: Be the holiest God can have you be. This goes with another and already internationally shared motto of mine (explained in this book, too): All - ‘for the most holier glory of God’ [asDg: ‘ad extram’ in that God ‘ad intram’ doesn’t need increase in glory in Himself, glory as He is, yet outside of Himself He loves to develop it].

THANKSGIVING & GREETINGS & DEDICATION

(Luke 18:8) …when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? [WEB]

THANKSGIVING

In some way, you or any reader can field the following by any capacity of soul to openness for oneness with our Maker. If you discovered our Triune God or not, thanks on my part easily goes to God first. How? Firstly to our Heavenly Father, secondly to our Heavenly Jesus Who is our Primary Offering of Thanks (‘Eucharistein’) at the Last Supper, and thirdly to our Holy Spirit Who inspired the Church to have at Mass this truth: ‘We do well always and everywhere to give You thanks, Heavenly Father….’ A great way to live each day is that of precious thanksgiving for any main encounters each person has ever had with our Maker. Far greater than any other most ecstatic life moment can be any clearly true encounter with God. Why? What can compare with getting to know the Only One Who absolutely gifts every good gift? Either indirectly or directly, to know GOD as LOVE is incomparable. My day is daily set upon the best oneness with God via all the best I can for God: per loving adoration, thanks, praise, work, etc. ‘Gratias Agimus Tibi’ by Antonio Vivaldi is a daily joy to it. One can behold some choirs chanting this in Churches, too. As an everlasting remembrance of far more than just a vision of a simple gift from God in the sky, He actually let me extraordinarily behold the Lord of the Last Supper gloriously up in the clouds while I was sitting alone near a construction site. Right now at 1am on the national holiday of Thanksgiving, you can trust what Fr. Yours here unveils: the full story is later in this book of how God had me behold a tree branch-to-moon marvel the night previous to the extraordinary sun miracle of a glorified ostensory/monstrance with the sun-like Host in the sky. While some have slanted the Church’s true regard that God wants of Mary (not to adore, yet venerate), honestly those previous marvels were in honor of Mary and the Cross. They were followed by the marvels of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ of the Last Supper — as the Host in the daily Mass worldwide – and even of the Everlasting Wedding Banquet. How? Per the ostensory divinely designed in gem-like clouds above with the sun clearly envisioned moving into it as a brilliant Host across that sky table for far greater glory than typically visible here below.

GREETINGS

HEAVEN HI(GH)! O beloved readers, even every stranger I meet of whatever race or religion has said that this greeting is very, very good. They want it to spread, without having to rid, of course, of Hello. While many of us English speakers like Hello and still use it and have all our lives, due to some people obliged to say it by their job requirements, to any incoming customer, client, or other, we may hear it dragged out, at times, due to work fatigue and with vocal stress on the first syllable – ‘hell.’ This can cause vocally the 2nd syllable to come across as ‘low,’ that some express in lower accent: perhaps due to regional accents, too. Thus, to ‘heavenize’ others all the more, they typically light up and love to hear this new salute of Heaven Hi(gh) over that of the sometimes work-forced prolongation of ‘hellll-loooww’ (to incoming customers, for ex.) accidentally emphatic of how low hell is. Their greeting sometimes comes across hollow of desire (if extra forced by bosses to have to say it), while hallowed all the more can be Heaven Hi(gh)! Perhaps this greeting can slowly spread and even find translation. Indeed, in certain languages, consistency would be perfect. For ex., in Italian, rather than simply Ciao, one could say, Cielo Alto. In Spanish, "Cielo Alto is the same, and for that of Hola, though the sound is of ‘s’ rather than ‘ch’ (in English) in the Italian phonetics. The greeting of Good Day is good to remain intact: Buon Giorno, in Italian and Buenos Días" in Spanish – from singular to plural. Yet Heaven-Hi would not have to find culturally any mix between plural or singular, since the singular would suffice… as in the Our Father in Italian and in Spanish Heaven is singular across the grammatical table in the prayer. The preferred translation would be on the position ‘High,’ rather than the strictly English ‘Hi.’ Why? To help us fulfill too the Biblical call to keep your mind on the things above. So, we can include Heaven-HI to Hell-o. We can perfect it also with "HEAVEN HI(GH)!" over that HELLLL - LO(W) that is heard at a local gas station store here. Still, Hello is OK, of course. One person had an alternative that I had also thought, ha-ha: HALO, as if to remind each other of the universal call to holiness.

Greatest greetings to you beloved readers on the part of a ‘Corpus (or Totus) Christian,’ as I like to coin it. The pen name of ‘Father Yours’ is for a wider more universal outreach since some people of various religions may not read a work of God by the title of a person of a different religion, faith, culture or race: whether Rev. Fr. This, or Guru That, or whatever else. Yet who I am becomes more clear in the book to greet you all the more personally: as a few photos have been included of great holy people and places with me. As this book is about goodwill and wisdom for all, especially as found in the Bible, the love of the Last Supper (mainly of John’s Gospel) and more, here’s a detail on my way into the priesthood: always also of ministry to the Word of God. What a blessing it was that the Archbishop of Smyrna — where the ‘beloved disciple’ John’s disciple (Polycarp) came from — prepared me for the Word of God. He did so in Rome, Italy at the Pontifical Czech College of another St. John (Nepomucene). Smyrna is a Church spoken well of in Apocalypse (Revelations) chapter 2, and a place forewarned of imprisonment (which befell St. Polycarp). [Smyrna is the only Church existing in Turkey from the seven Churches in the Book of Revelations.] The Archbishop Domenico Caloyera of the Dominican Order was small, and I tall. His voice was much more powerful than nearly anyone’s. A priest there said that Caloyera truly had a spirit of St. Polycarp. Thanks be to God that he had me shake like a leaf on a tree in the wind by mightily commanding me (in front of many other seminarians, too) to fidelity to the Word for God’s people: when he officially bestowed upon me the minor order called ‘lectorate.’ While many can be lectors in churches, receiving the minor order of lector means being officially established and blessed to read the Word of God (especially beside His altar) to any congregation: and to proclaim it faithfully by one’s lifestyle. He loved Our Lady greatly and in 2007 was buried in the world’s largest church in honor of the Mother of God: St. Mary Major’s in Rome.

It’s now April 23: the very date that the Smyrnan prelate blessed me so in 1994. The Gospel then for that ministry? It had the very verse of John 6:66! How providential today to rediscover that date I was called to spread God’s word officially in the Church (and anywhere in the world). Years later in my priesthood it comes out as one of the Pearliest of all (Biblical) pearls of wisdom! Thank you God for the Polycarpian fire, too, of Caloyera. (St. Polycarp’s internal fire of the H.S. was so great that the material fire couldn’t burn him at the stake.) The ‘Ordo’ prescribes the daily worship for Holy Mass: the readings, etc. Indeed, double-checking it, the Apr 23 listing in the 1994 Ordo was Saturday in the 3rd Week of Easter. Mass Readings of the day: Acts 9:31-42; Ps 116:12-17; John 6:60-69. That Gospel goes with Providential marvels of John 6:66 in the life of Fr. Yours. The homily of that day was seen kept in a notebook. It was providentially so Eucharistic! The preacher Rev. Ed Kelty emphasized the Flesh of Christ, and how priests give this Flesh to God’s people. He went on about the Word made Flesh to give us His words humanly Face (of God) to faces! The homily included how the great mystery of His Incarnation is of One Who stripped Himself of outward heavenly glory to take on mortal flesh: not mortal by original sin and its effects, yet that Jesus allowed His Human Body to be pierced, torn, and ripped asunder for our greater salvation. Our Savior was so defleshed that marching up to Golgotha His Blood ran out more and watery fluid formed in His cardiovascular system. Indeed, hypovolemic shock causes fluid to gather in the sack around the heart (pericardial effusion) or the lungs. So, Blood and Water gushed out from His Heart when pierced through by the lance. The Flesh of Christ (and more) is distributed typically little and round and white (or wheaty), as God set up. This is one of the main ways He gifts Himself daily in this world, and per that appearance — while beyond our perceptions of the little Host is not only the actual Flesh but His Whole Body and All.

At 53 years of age, it was great to hear just recently a 3 yr. old boy answer a question. He articulated these 4 syllables so clearly and nobly that they came across even angelically and greatly. That is, when asked where he lives, he surprised us all by so voicing ably aloud through very rounded lips: CORP-US! CHRI-STI! God has historically had a priesthood from the time of Melchisedech on. Jesus Christ the King and Eternal High Priest brought me into the priesthood in a city called Corpus Christi. My vocational call from God began in a Cathedral called Christ the King. Born in the heart of the heart of a country (the Midwest town of its Midwest state), it was far south and in the Heart of THE HEART that God gave me Holy Orders: that is, precisely on the first Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Month of the Sacred HEART of Jesus. That date of ordination was June 7, 1997, and in the very historic Year of Jesus as it was called — en route to the Great Jubilee Year of 2000. Even in 1997, holy Pope John Paul II began the World Day for Consecrated Life on February 2, and Pope Francis set 2015 (when this book may spread) as the Year of Consecrated Life, too. St. John Paul II began that World Day to promote religious vocations, to spread the knowledge of the necessity of such, to thank God for the great gift of consecrated life, and to pray for more vocations to the priesthood and all. Whether one is of the same city or not, ordained a priest or not, any of you can be(come) more than ‘Christians’ only: certainly beyond name only: truly ‘Corpus Christians.’ That is, you truly can be Christians who are the Body of Christ to receive The Body of Christ to be more the Body of Christ – shared on in Chapter 6. For when you go to receive The Host, that is The Body of Christ, The One coming to you is even The Whole Christ – His very Body, Blood, Heart, Mind, Soul, Spirit, perfect Humanity and Divinity in Its entirety! Yet we emphasize The Body of Christ since it’s the only sacrament with His actual Human Body (glorified) present. We don’t turn our backs on Him as they did in John 6:66. What a Divine Design too that Saint Meredith (also known as St. Meriadoc) has his memorial date on June 7, the day Fr. Yours was ordained in the 6th month annually. Why a DD? Because St. Meredith was made Bishop of Vannes, France in 666, the very # this book centers on. Lord of a large manor, he gave his wealth to the poor, became a hermit at Rohan, then a bishop (eventually even famous in a medieval play).

As a missionary father of various communities in various countries, my paternal greetings to any of you as "Corpus Christians is a joy from our God that has been spreading lately in a city called Corpus Christi, too. They love this greeting and now exchange it with me like never before. All the more in the future with this book, we may joyfully greet each other so, and not only in this city. For a ‘Corpus Christian’ can highlight all the more that one is fully a Totus Christian = a whole Christian. Here’s how: by way of Jesus as 100% God and 100% man (in hypostatic union), and His union with holy Church as its Mystical Head, you’re getting far more than only His Physical Body. As Bridegroom and Bride are already one to some triumphal extent (some already are holy members in Heaven), even some dimension of the whole Mystical Body of Christ comes with the Eucharist. Amen, the Mystical Body is yet in process here below, yet the Divinity beyond time already knows how to even have that Body already with the Body and Being of Christ to whatever extent, for He knows our whole everlasting future as well. With the Eucharist, we receive the very Godhead that holds more than the whole universe in His ‘Hands.’ The Eternal and Infinitely Supreme Being (God from God) is giving His Very Whole Self even in His Trinitarian Unity to you as the Daily Bread offered daily to you, holding back absolutely nothing at all, even as He gave of Himself on the Cross while holding back only any outward omnipotent control of His Sacrifice, if even directing legions of angels to intervene to help any onlookers: as even His Mother was supported by angels there (as holy mystics learned). Jesus Emmanuel, one with us via His Incarnation and all, made Himself so much the more one with us on Calvary — (Woman, behold thy son – son, behold thy Mother"), entrusting His very Mother Mary to us – and goes on doing so to the very extent of our Daily Bread intake of His Whole Being! Love so consumes Jesus Himself that He lets His Very Sacred Self be consumed!

Jesus perfectly shows how to ‘love and give life,’ and Mary, Mystical Rose called us to ‘live love.’ The GODman All-Good Shepherd feeds His human sheep with His Whole Being for our very immortality and everlasting heavenly bliss. Again, He didn’t just give us His Corporality but His whole Soul and Divinity. Yet as He humbly stated at the Last Supper, we only state of Christ His Body and Blood at main Mass moments: for the other sacraments don’t have the full, physically super-substantial substance of the Last Supper Sacrament. His Body was ‘taken up’ for us on the Cross of Calvary, yet later ‘taken up’ (ascended of His own power) to the ‘right hand of The Father’ as a Risen One: Super-Physical for us, and ever one with His Soul and Divinity. So, special GREETINGS to you Christians who can also truly be as ‘Corpus Christians’ and even more: ‘Totus (Christi) Christians’ — also connoting to be all Christian.

DEDICATIONS

This book is dedicated entirely and above all to Our One True Triune God – though some have a different conception of God. While Abba Father – Generator of Jesus, Spirator (with Jesus) of the Spirit, and Creator of all other persons (per the Triune God) — is eternally All-Glorious and doesn’t need us to give Him any glory, He loves it and wills for us to get glorified in Heaven. So, this book is especially entirely dedicated to Abba. Though beyond human (genderless) as solely Divine Being, The 1st Person of God is Our Heavenly ‘Dad’ – ‘ABBA’ Shmayana (in Aramaic) or D’bashmaya — especially as originless Originator of all beings. The 2nd Person of God is our Only Savior, The GODman Jesus Christ, The Eucharistic Lamb of God Who came mainly as Savior, yet also to feed the hungry and more: to feed us for salvation by His Last Supper Mass (mittere in Latin = ‘to send,’ as He formed priest-Apostles to be sent out). The 3rd Person of God is the Holy Spirit and Sanctifier of our everlasting souls. Jesus’s spoken language while on earth (Aramaic) has variants for literal and phonetic spellings of the Our Father prayer. Again, Our Father is neither a man nor a woman. Thus, ‘He’ is referring to the Originator and all Divine Being (actually, as a Father meaning Generator of His Son, First Mover/Maker, and First Person) of all good works, while His Son (not yet male when generated as Logos) co-created everything good (Jn 1:3, Col 1:16), consubstantial with Him also as a Purely Divine Spiritual Being, and called The Word/’Logos.’ Yet He wills the title of Father, and Jesus became an actual male not only for restoring sons to their fathers by uniting us to our Perfect ‘Father’ for all that is good but for the gift of Our Mother, too. Mary was Jesus’s earthly mother and the Heavenly One (for us, too) where They are eternally enthroned Above, especially also helping those who need a far more Perfect Mother. The difference is that she truly is a female, whereas God the Father is not human, while Jesus in His Humanity represents Perfect Fatherhood as Our Heavenly ‘Father’ willed. So, how might we best conceive of ABBA Father? As a Divine Spirit like the Holy Spirit? Nothing more? As Generator of the Son, Co-Spirator with Him of the Spirit, and co-Creator of all with Them (as in Early Church Creeds, etc., the H.S. also did) we can not only have Him stand out as the Originless Origin of all that is good. In a salient way, as GOD-MAKER, He stands out beyond Jesus in that He generated the Logos. He wills us to even be godlike godly ones (not ungodly tyrants), though never Gods from God… or other Divine Persons. So, in short, THE MAKER (even of The Co-Maker, and of us ‘makers’-procreators, etc. of more) is the Primary One making us into what we will forever be. Again, ‘God the Father’ actually doesn’t have any specific gender of Being, though willing to appear with a beard in human form to someone (as to Bl. Saturus).

In a special way it is also dedicated to the Holy Family of Jesus. These 4 Titles are in my Emmanuel Chaplet: in Latin for Jesus ‘Rosa Golgothana’ and ‘Lilium Convallium’ [the ‘Golgothan Rose’ (described in the book) and ‘Lily of the Valley’]; our Mother Mary as ‘Mystical Rose’ - among her various titles (and to her Immaculate Heart); and to Joseph the ‘Branch of the Lily,’ in Latin ‘Ramus Lilii’); also, to both St. Joseph and St. John the Apostle, the one succeeding the other (deceased) in caring so much for Mary, the full of grace, who actually had perfect care to offer to them and us. Although St. Joseph is known by many experts of true doctrine to have been the most perfect man in history after Jesus – Pope Leo 13th helps explain how, in his encyclical on Joseph – St. John the Apostle could have been the next most perfect. Beyond men though, nobody was as perfect after Jesus as the Virgin Mother Queen Mary: not even John the Baptist sanctified in the womb of Mary’s cousin Elizabeth, for Jesus Himself was in the womb of the Virgin but ever the more within her Immaculate Heart, which is why [ISV Bible] the queen, dressed in gold from Ophir, has taken her place at your right hand (Ps 45:9) and [NASB] I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever (Ps 45:17). The Magnificat (Lk 1:48), fulfills some of that prophecy of Psalm 45 in Mary’s encounter with Elizabeth and more. Would not the Son of Man honor His only Mother in a tremendously honorable way, especially as King of kings and Lord of lords? More than logically would He not make His most faithful one (even to the foot of the Cross, etc.) His Queen forever — and from among all women — for all their holy love and history? Most hold that He was 30 years with her and Joseph before the 3 of His famous public ministry. As she stands at His right, she surely can sit there too, and St. Joseph most likely at His left underneath God the Father since Jesus ascended to the Father’s Right Hand (with the various meanings to that – to His greatest majesty, power, etc.). O St. Joseph, how you have come to stand out all the more in the life of Fr. Yours, too, especially all the more, lately. To get to Heaven some day to thank you face to face is among the greatest longings in my lifetime now.

As your ‘Father Yours,’ this book is ever readily dedicated to any of you open to the H.S., and as my ‘beloved readers’ thereby. ‘Father Yours’ wants to ‘wash your feet’ and the feet of anyone on earth with this book – in a sense. How can a book ‘wash feet’ well? By a sharing that may not only serve many: anyone open to inspirations. May it serve you not only with what may be the ‘Pearliest Pearl’ (Jesus as our Way to the ‘pearly gates,’ especially via Him as the Eucharist) to ever discover and share with others, but also to emblazon your life ahead in the spiritual battle against the beast. Indeed, the verse that it is mainly about may be understood as the Greatest Pearl of all verses throughout history – for ensuring holy wisdom, everlasting life, and by the gift of (reverential) fear of the Lord, etc. gifts. This is with urgent timeliness, too, because a prophesized beast appears not only inevitably ever nearer, but with extra horrors ahead on earth. This book may fortify all the more those who know already a bit of this Pearl through my preaching and teaching of it over recent years in various mission territories: if even others who share much on the Eucharist, so connected to John 6 (yet so needfully verse 66). As for any multitude to begin learning of it over time, may it bring them into following God all the more, also if a portion of them are already rather apostolic. Our Supreme Maker and Sustainer of all that is good also has other pearls that may abound for you in this book. He can reveal to you how He wants any of them to be shared: if multiplied into human hearts, heads, especially souls – with any ‘pearly’ graces thereby for improved entry into the ‘pearly gates.’ Your own personal inspirations with this book — whether by lifestyle, prayer, talking, book-gifting or other – may help spread them, and far more than just decorate or adorn peoples’ lives: they may serve to convert or add to treasures already in people, if not even help to save souls.

Finally, we [the Kingdom within and I] also dedicate the book greatly to you, St. Lucian of Antioch. Surely long in heaven already, you can know of my sharing with you here. You greatly assisted St. Jerome for the Bible that was the first to be translated and into the widest spread Bible (of one language only) for many centuries: the Latin Vulgate, for You prepared the O.T. and N.T. of the Bible for St. Jerome. Once ordained a priest and before your torturous prison time unto martyrdom, you corrected various errors that had entered into the sacred texts by copyists and false teachers. You stand out, St. Lucian, with the theme of this book as well, since by being imprisoned for being a Christian, you had to use your own breast as an altar (while stretched on the rack) to celebrate the divine mysteries. Thereby, you consecrated the bread and wine on Epiphany (which some celebrate as a Christmas gift-giving date) to gift others with the full Christ! What a remembrance of the Body and Blood and Heart of Christ nailed to the Cross! Bound and chained down on your back, what LOVE for Our Eucharistic Lord, and for your neighbor, the faithful to whom you gave Communion! Arrested in 303, your imprisonment and life ended in 312. You who celebrated The Commemorative Sacrifice of Jesus right on your very heart got sworded to death on January 7 because you wouldn’t sacrifice to pagan ‘gods.’ They provided you not with any altar: yet epikaia (Greek term for the Church supplies) was had. What faith! Such is why among many reasons the Vulgate is my favorite Bible version, though various versions are cited in this book (for wider audiences) since they have their important places in personal histories, too. Thank you St. Lucian of Antioch for your incredible example of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice — at the very ‘altar’ of your chest! You’re known to have shared the Eucharist with the faithful who visited you in prison, bringing you bread and wine. What another model for all priests! Too, for love of the Sacred Scriptures in your lifetime! In the ‘Year of Faith" for composing much of this book, I thank you for your faith life, your witness and all, St. Lucian. Please intercede for our Church Shepherds, this book, and for all mankind. How amazing that I just learned too that both my maternal grandma and grandpa both were born right on your memorial date of January 7. Grandpa Jim was 20 years older than his wife and was a milk deliverer to her home. He declared that one day he’d like to marry the girl when she’d grow up, and he did! She became my godmother per baptism of me when I was only 14 days old – on May 8th, traditionally having been the Archangel Michael’s feast, whose name I took at Confirmation (an extra name is chosen then in some territories), not even knowing his former feast date was my baptismal one. Such goes rather hand-in-glove with this book: St. Michael in my life in many ways, and to help others not only not get the 666 mark of the beast, yet also know of the ‘Totus Christi’ and of more Archangel prayers in this book. Thanks to you great Biblical Saints Lucian and Jerome, and to all you readers who can relate with saints, too, if even for your first time with them.

PREFACE

Live the Last Supper the best you may in this life - WISELY HOLY LOVE! - as any day may be one’s last. Do learn from the John 6:66 Gospel verse. PPLLEEAASSEE absolutely NEVER be branded by the name or 666 number of the beast. Never worship the beast and his statue or get that 666 mark on the hand or forehead (Rev. 14: 9-11)… if even anywhere else on your body.

All mankind should be open to true wisdom from any person of goodwill, no matter what the good creed, lifestyle, practice of work — though with care (discernment) of course to not fall into any falsehoods. The one original and universal pilgrim Church of God, from the Holy Lands to early Roman days on until Christ returns, teaches such openness to any true goodness. Why? Because people of goodwill can be recipients and transmitters of at least grains or pearls of the greatest wisdom. For ex., any atheistic dentist – not to be judged (yet far more illumined) — who does good dental work can be of goodwill for the good of mankind. By genuine good-heartedness, for eg., if he/she sincerely tries to help the client’s tooth unto better health, then he/she has a place in the goodwill for us all to have in our entire human family. (Yet any express atheism, of course, is not to be believed). Just imagine your grandma with a terrible toothache and your local family dentist is away, you have no dentist available but the atheist, and he/she ends up doing even better than you thought any dentist could. Indeed, in the lingua franca of English, behold two expressions that are differently placed: goodwill often comes as one word united, whereas bad will is typically never united in one word but divided, separated.) Any worker or writer of bad will (who can change) may be helped at least by our prayers: if even a self-styled ‘believer’ who may be like a Judas or anti-Christ. Relatedly on goodwill: can any semi-believer or disbeliever in The One True God find some personal value with a book that quotes the Bible or other truly sacred texts (the Office of Readings, etc.)? SURE, even if they have issues with the Bible or Christians? Yes. They can see (and by God, if held by any to be only hidden or even non-existent) how an author may be of their own true goodwill. Thereby, they may even come to see ‘incredibly credible’ wisdom (i.e. of wisdom indubitably God-gifted) of verifiable truths absolutely never to be junked. Thereby, too, they can come to supercede relativisms altogether amiss of The Absolute GOD Who absolutely knows absolutely everything passing or unending. Even any existentialist philosopher of ‘bad faith’ (= refusal to open up to real light/truths that can enter) can be helped. What a different and far better world thereby.

Connectedly, the Bible famously recounts that a multitude of angels were praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill’ (Lk 2:14) as in the ‘Gloria.’ This may apply to any person, depending. Any religious leader of goodwill generally would not reject a companion of different understanding who is at least similarly of his good grain. Due to our fears — fear of loss to our businesses, institutes, doctrines, or especially people dear to us, if even to a church congregation – we may shut out certain people of goodwill and wisdom. A certain famous man did NOT. Who? Blessed Pope Paul VI, who even officially honored martyrs of another Church faith: the Anglicans (in the Catholic OoR), but without exalting their names (since not of the one FULL Church faith) so as not to divide the fully official doctrine of Christ through the ages. While he grasped their doctrinal errors, he knew those martyrs were saints, although he didn’t ‘canonize’ their personal names. He knew that those Anglican martyrs were not ‘formally’ contrary, as was Luther, besides Novatian (the first antipope in history), antiChurchlike philosophers, false messiahs, or anything of persecuting tyrants like Nero, Henry VIII, or Plutarco Elias Calles (who, hospitalized in his last days in California, USA, reportedly repented of having horribly persecuted his own Mexican Catholics, with many martyred), etc.

Indeed, anyone with a right mind would be open not only to human encounters of goodwill, but holy angelic ones too, besides definitely divine ones. Not only if unaware, yet also if at all aware. (Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (Heb 13:2.) [ASV]. Indeed, anyone can discover or grow yet more aware that everyone (believers or unbelievers) has a guardian angel? So, with guardian angels near or far, where two or more are gathered in Jesus’s Name or not, it’s four or more gathering (as 2+2=4), since guardian angels are in company, if even watching from far above. Yet even more angels (like those proclaiming peace for goodwill) can abound too, beyond minimal guardian angelic presence – those from the hierarchy of nine choirs of angels. As for at least one’s own guardian, here now is provided my GUARDIAN ANGEL INCIDENT as proof:

Hit by a car in ice and snow when only 4 years old, and pinned under it at the front right wheel, my winter coat caught up under that tire rim while being dragged, I unforgettably saw who must have been my guardian angel appear and disappear twice over and in the form of my Irish twin brother (of the 12 siblings) to keep me all the more conscious. Being merrily competitive brothers and Irish twins (meaning less than a full year between our births: David 340 days younger than I), and clearly seeing David pinned under the front left wheel, I was kept all the more alert while dragged through the snow and ice underneath the car. Just after a chunky icy rock hit my side (leaving thereby a scar for some 25 years later under the rib), the driver was finally able to stop and take me to the hospital. One can easily identify how not only a child on the verge of dying is able to be conscious of the end of life (as I was) at such a point, but how nearly a state of shock can befall you at the very gates of death. Had the angel not appeared, and so (motivatingly) like to David, our All-knowing God surely foresaw how my spirit may have dropped to nil, all the more too with that rock passing under me. Without the fortifying presence of the angel that was identically David-like, the safer position at the front underside of the car could have been jeopardized all the more. How? Survival instincts can keep you alive when twirled up in your jacket partially pinned under the tire rim of the vehicle unable to stop, but total loss of spirit could have you limply unwrap altogether out from your jacket and pass away from this world under the whole vehicle. That could have your head far more than just banged up, and with all that ice and snow besides: DEATH. After my Irish twin brother David became an adult, he became very prolife. He adopted several children and raised them so well, yet via a charismatic retreat his wife did finally have their own son, David also became a Eucharistic minister some 30 years ago. I also have an older brother Jimmy who’s the prayer group leader of our hometown parish even called Blessed Sacrament Church.

While there are many classics of wisdom in literature, and in various languages, wisdom of Eternal Wisdom is far greater. Depending on openness to real wisdom, a degree in World Literature can help prove too that no other books can compare with God’s Sacred Scriptures. The Bible has God’s most authoritatively inspired writings over time. While different literary classics or other writings can help in our lives, what can compare with God’s writings in the Bible? Also, no Biblical Reality comes literally with more verbally repetitive (‘Amen’) emphasis in any Bible chapter than that of the Last Supper truth in John’s Gospel. The more you have an open being (heart, mind, spirit, and SOUL) to this book, the more GOD can reveal this Last Supper Reality to you: also for and through you to others for the eternal wedding banquet in Heaven. Besides having the Holy Spirit, Wisdom is the greatest gift that the H.S. offers, and so badly needed in a world full of foolishness, madness, etc. As true wisdom is also open to angels, both the Virgin and St. Joseph were open to the Archangel Gabriel. A prayer to Gabriel for wisdom and more is added in this book. Indeed, by definition itself, true wisdom is tied to eternity, where we will everlastingly be sent, etc. Such is why a prayer to the Archangel St. Gabriel by the wisdom of God is shared in this book. Some Churches call on St. Michael the Archangel, if even daily for him, by the power of God to help. While powerful protection is needed for our earthly sojourn, a lifetime of wisdom increase certainly can be needed.

Wise writings that serve in true love for you already exist, yet this book may readily help to supplement them: Biblical Wisdom, the Biblical Sapiential Books (besides the entire Biblical content as well, especially the New Testament), the book by St. Louis Marie de Montfort (Eternal Wisdom), and very greatly the Eucharistic writings by St. Thomas on eternal life — of wisdom as ends, not only means, and above all the everlasting end of each of us. We have here near the start and also near the finish of this book what the 4th c. Brescian bishop St. Gaudentius shared in a sermon. [In Brescia, Italy, friends and Fr. Yours were set to help co-launch a Mystical Rose Society of Priests just last May, 2014.] That saint back then (in the only official Church Jesus had set up especially from Jerusalem to Rome in the 1st century) shared there how we should receive the Body of Christ in the form of bread, because as there are many grains of wheat in the flour from which bread is made by mixing it with water and baking it with fire, so also we know that many members make up the one body of Christ which is brought to maturity by the fire of the H.S. Similarly, the wine of Christ’s Blood, drawn from the many grapes of the vineyard that He had planted, is extracted in the winepress of the cross. Join with us, all of you, in receiving this sacrifice of the saving passover with the eagerness of dedicated hearts. Then in our inmost being we shall be wholly sanctified by the very Lord Jesus Christ who we believe to be present in His sacraments, and whose boundless power abides for ever (OoR p. 532). St. Thomas Aquinas is the only one is history called the ‘Angelic Doctor’ because of his great wisdom, oft centered upon the Last Supper, and thereby held up as the greatest writer to be taught for future priests of the Mass of the Last Supper. Not a few popes emphasized the obligation to teach his writings beyond those of any other great Church doctor, including more than those of St. Augustine. They effect your everlasting good, as wisdom especially makes you realize that its gift is not just for the head (intellectualism, etc.) but the heart (as in Psalm 90:12) — So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom [WEB]. This is addressed to The Lord by the psalmist. Such wisdom is not meant to be spooky, but to climb or leap from the Gift of Fear of the Lord to the greatest of the 7 of the H.S. being Wisdom, and especially for everlasting life.

The Eucharistic Wisdom (Jesus Christ) in John 6:66 will help to possibly fulfill the hope of universal salvation for man, and with further revelations that all center upon the most necessary wisdoms of Jesus Our Wisdom (‘Logos’ – The Word). Every word from The Word offers everlasting life, and especially His most ‘Amen-Amen’ stressed chapter in all of the Sacred Scriptures: John chapter 6(!), with particular attention to verse 66. God has blessed my life about John 6:66 in incredible ways and incidents that are shared here in this book, since wisdom (especially about everlasting life) is to be shared: Do not refrain from speaking at the crucial time, and do not hide your wisdom. For wisdom is known through speech, and education through the words of the tongue (the sapiential/wise Book of Sirach: 4:23-24). We are from God, but some know this not. Some come to know Him through lives shared (whether by example of word or work or other), and others more through whole lives sacrificed (mainly martyrs, also by any miracles of the martyrs that converted the tyrants, etc., if not by the amazing faith alone of a martyr during the human sacrifice dictated to be had). Surely the example you chose to live can speak louder than words, yet surely words by God’s grace can go beyond how some lives speak, helping to perfect life lived out as its very ‘life-speech.’ Why? I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment (Mt 12: 36) [WEB]. Yet the caring words of our whole lifetimes can speak out: unto proclaiming absolution of sinful speech.

As Jesus the Word made flesh knows and spoke, here’s why: For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned (Mt. 12:37) [WEB] — especially
