I've seen lots of comments (not just on this page) regarding various opinions on the execution of criminals. Most say something along the lines of "I don't believe in it and we shouldn't execute people for any of their crimes". <br /><br />In all truth, it is actually one of the best things we can do. Hear me out before disregarding what I'm saying. <br /><br />Consider the drunk man. He gets drunk, and realizes he shouldn't have so he goes to confession and repents. In the next week or so what is that man going to do? He's going to get drunk again because he does not possess the virtue of sobriety. If the drunkard falls into sin time and time again, will not those men and women who have fallen into graver sins continue to commit them?<br /><br />Instead of imprisoning those who have fallen into grave sin and letting them become more vicious in each other's presence and then letting them go, more vicious and angry than when they went in; instead of letting them fall into the same sin that brought them into prison, the best thing we can do for them is reconcile them with God and execute them. It is not wrong. If they have been reconciled with God then their execution is to the benefit of all. <br /><br />Let me explain further. Written in us by God is a four-fold hierarchy of goods. The first two we share with dumb animals. The last two we share with the angels. These four goods are in order: <br />Preservation of Self,<br />Preservation of Species,<br />Social Living, and<br />The Desire to Seek the Truth.<br /><br />When I say it is a hierarchy, what I mean is that each one is greater than the next. Preservation the Species is more important than Preservation of Self. If this were not so mothers would not sacrifice themselves for their children. Social living is greater than Preservation of Self and Species. <br /><br />What I mean by Social Living is... Well take the city or town you live in. All the people who live there are all working together. You have the farmer who grows the food you eat. You have the construction workers who build the houses you live in. That's Social Living. You are all working together. <br /><br />Now, the Desire to Seek the Truth pertains to all of mankind. Therefore it is the most important of the four. The first pertains to you. The second to a family. The third to a city. Each one involves more people. A lower good can be sacrificed for a higher one. If this were not so martyrs would be commiting a sin. It would be as if they were commiting suicide. But that is not so. They are sacrificing a lower good for a higher one. One that pertains to all of mankind. <br /><br />Now back onto the topic at hand, if a lower good can be sacrificed for a higher one than if criminals have been reconciled with God than the best thing to do for everyone (remember if this man or woman falls back into the grave sin than put them in prison it does not benefit anyone and can damage Social Living) is to execute them. <br /><br />This comment is a longer than it was supposed to be. Thank you for reading it. I hope I explained everything clearly. May God bless.

I've been prodded into doing planetary level work with energy. Now I know why I have been given Golden Armor, its to protect me from the intensity of the energies involved. Also Michael's sword plays an important part in this adventure. I was at a catholic wedding recently and wondered why I was there. I do not like to go to churches. So I proceeded to mentally heal some people there using Reiki and took out my sword and mentally just stood behind the bride/groom while the priest did the wedding. I must also say that it was a very nice church and there were no negative energies there that I could see, a testament to the parishioners and priests that worship there. Then, Blessed Mother Mary showed up, I was surprised, she has white and light blue clothing and a golden crown much like she appears in catholic pictures of her. She then stepped behind me and placed both her palms on my back. Ascended people hardly ever touch us. I've never heard of this as their energy is so intense and can fry some to a cinder, thus the reason for the armor. The sword then flared intense electric white fire and the field expanded and kept expanding until it enveloped the whole planet. Then the church filled like a sardine can with little angels that looked like babies with wings. She then instructed them to visit all the people on the earth and deliver a piece of Divine Love to all on the planet. I am so honored and humbled to be allowed to help in this way. So I'm redoubling efforts on the other world project I have going with Michael's Sword. Kevin once told me Michael is pleased with what I'm doing so I will continue. That gives me Hope to continue as sometimes I feel the planet is doomed."<br /><br />So with respect, I urge you all to get closer to Mother Mary and Archangel Michael. They are very very real and stand ready to help and protect us all. I hope that his helps some who read it.

He told a...No, I don't think he was stretching. He told a lot of stories with a twinkle in his eye and sometimes I didn't believe everything he said, but he surprised me so many times that I stopped doubting him. He was a bit of a ham when he told stories and even the parish priest,Fr Vincent Schneider, used to say to take things with a grain of salt. But everyone was flabbergasted by the amazing mystery of his death. It was very hard to believe at the time until it happened exactly like he said it would- to the day. The very idea that the Virgin Mary visited him was hard to swallow but he didn't falter or recant a single detail of what she told him and he prepared jubilantly for his death. There was something special about being in his presence, he wasn't very shy nor was he lofty, but it was like he always had a secret and he had it figured out. hard to explain.mazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02477926678299625020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-11519776787146886992015-10-20T13:45:05.714-04:002015-10-20T13:45:05.714-04:00Thank you Mazza for the reply.

He was not only my priest but also a good friend. The Virgin Mary also appeared to him and told him exactly when he would die. He had his funeral mass complete with the hymns he wanted all planned and paid for on the exact right date. He left me a few things a day before he died and said goodbye, I laughed because he looked perfectly healthy. The things he left me played a part in my life many years later.

Thank you. I want to find out more about Claude Newman.<br /><br />I have an open question for you and any interested readers. The plot of the movie The Green Mile (based on a Stephen King novel and starring Tom Hanks) follows a very similar pattern to Claude Newman's story, and is set in death row at a Southern penitentiary. It also has a strong miraculous (but not Catholic) element. Does anyone know if the novel & movie were based on Claude Newman's story?<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120689/synopsis?ref_=tt_stry_plAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-30773319970459314892015-02-21T07:31:15.403-05:002015-02-21T07:31:15.403-05:00o such a blessed soul whom our lady saved from the...o such a blessed soul whom our lady saved from the pains of hell.may the prayers and sacrifices of holy souls and blessed virgin mary win many many many souls for heaven and may the world be given chance of final conversion and hardened hearts melt.may we all meet one day in heaven...sad days are comming.beware...the lord stands near the door!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-60509323434364349402015-01-31T20:33:13.751-05:002015-01-31T20:33:13.751-05:00There is a 38 minute video about Claude Newman her...There is a 38 minute video about Claude Newman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISVs66UCuoYBoston Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-72867631160812713102014-12-12T21:25:46.942-05:002014-12-12T21:25:46.942-05:00I wonder if Claude Newman's case could be open...I wonder if Claude Newman's case could be opened for canonization.

Quando avvengono dei miracoli di quell'importanza le persone che vengono coinvolte hanno i ricordi "scolpiti" nella memoria. Neanche 100 anni possono cancellare la forza, la nitidezza di quei ricordi. E altra cosa, possibile che non ci sono altre testimonianze oltre quella di padre su di quelle conversioni così clamorose, impressionanti di quei tanti detenuti e per finire quella "spettacolare" di James Hughs? Poi , possibile che padre O'Leary non abbia capito da buon sacerdote cattolico che se fosse stata vera quella storia, ciò avrebbe rappresentato veramente uno dei più grandi miracoli in seno alla Chiesa Cattolica stessa?!? E cosa aspettava a chiedere la beatificazione di quel Claude Newman, quando per un caso simile in Francia successo negli anni '50 ad un certo Jacques Fesh (ma molto meno "soprannaturale") i cattolici francesi insieme al nostro cardinal Comastri lo hanno fatto con grande entusiasmo??

His attributes are tops, out of this world, and unfathomable. Who can comprehend God, or really know Him? Read the Psalmist. Now, for our great God to be incarnated in human flesh, it would have to be someone who could contain such an entity. That is why God made her as Scripture says, grater than the angels, she is born without original sin, she is made perfect, immaculate and a vessel that could contain the Almighty God. So she iwas created next in level to God, but she is not God, for she is part of creation. The Blessed Mother had to be created a vessel that could contain God, and so she becomes great not because of herself, but because of God Who is so great.
