Corona Quandary

I me and mine was the mighty missile to despise destitute
Build and bargain royal palace to pleasure the luxury state
Strong and secure, stable and steady make my crown ready
Creator and creature I am the sole and whole that is the play
God sees Human heart consoling nature enter heavenly abode

Bomb and ammunition produce to reduce the other to ash
Walls and weapons built and stored to sell humanity for cash
Beggar and vagabond dust to the feet to omit venom clash
Wedge and pledge ruin to crumb the success of others perish
God sees Human heart consoling nature enter heavenly abode

Clash and caste religion and rites fight for blood and deed
Food and drink policy and rule wins the day bread freed
Nature is pure for sure allow it to bloom blossom flourish
Go against nature? War against humanity final nail to perish
God sees Human heart consoling nature enter heavenly abode

Gorgeous gothic golden buildings to venerate for God intact
Battle and rivalry for Mandir masjid church to erect and protect
No place today for puja namaj mass but worship God in sprit indeed
God need no dazzling mandir decorating church diamond masjid
God sees Human heart consoling nature enter heavenly abode

Why fight for land created God to live and obey
Shed enmity drop masks scrap hypocrisy
One God one humanity live in unity
Spirit of God one family fraternity
No more no new corona mess

    God The Father on Virus, as in the times of Noah and Prayers

    March 28, 2020
    Public


    Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "Children, these are unusual times - times not unlike the days of Noah. Noah was threatened by a flood. These days, your welfare is threatened by a virus. Noah and his family waited long days for the rains to stop. You, My children, must wait and wait with patience for this virus to subside. Noah was threatened by a visible enemy - the rain. Today, you are threatened by an invisible force - a virus."

    "The threat today is real just as the flood was real. The difference is today you are privy to My Call to prayer. You recognize this threat and you know the precautions you must take to avoid this danger. The danger today does not take you by surprise due to the efforts of modern communication. However, this danger does catch you off guard and unprepared. Prayer, however, can protect you and change things. Therefore, place your hearts in a united prayer effort for yourselves, family and friends, and for your nation, and the world, as you struggle for recovery."

    Read Genesis 8:10-12+

    He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; and the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Then he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.

    God The Father on why this pandemic and seek His Kingdom First.

    March 27, 2020
    Public


    Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "These days are most challenging to those who rely on their own resources instead of My Provision. Human agendas, calendars and plans have, of necessity, been set aside. It is unpredictable when normalcy will return. If you are using this time of trial to draw closer to Me, fear will take flight. Some have been given heavier crosses than others through all of this, such as, preexisting health conditions, medical tests which have been delayed, separation from loved ones - all of these are different aspects of the same cross. I see all and invite you to understand My Omnipotence. Every life - every soul is My faithful concern. Crosses are permitted by Me to bring humanity deeper into My Paternal Heart. When human efforts fail you, turn to Me. I am your strength."

    "This cross - this pandemic is transforming the heart of the world by showing mankind his weakness and his dependence upon Me. Sadly, it has taken such a crisis for some to turn to Me."

    Read Luke 12:29-31+

    And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.

    This current situation made the whole world realize that we focus on trivial matters. Relying on our own strength leads us nowhere. God sees human heart, consoling nature to enter heavenly abode.... Beutiful lines. Well written father.

    Dear Fr Joachim, you have expressed the reality. Thanks for enlightening the readers. What really needed is peaceful coexistence, harmony, concern and love towards one another. As human beings we need to break barriers of caste, creed, class, culture, language, religion and so on. We need to come out from our selfishness and think about others. Respect the creator and love the creation. What we need to do is always do good to others.
