Miraculous healing after a day and a half in bed
Miraculous healing after 48 hours as sick as a dog!!
I never get sick and have to lie in bed. I cannot remember the last time that happened. 5 years ago?? 10 years ago?? I really do not know and cannot remember.
Anyway, three days ago I felt ill while out witnessing in our usual International spot around the DOM Cathedral in Cologne. The first hour I was OK and then I knew that I had been smitten. Mikey my eldest was already bed ridden with the bug and now I had it too. As soon as I got home I went straight to bed with a temperature of 38.9 and climbing.
The next day I lay pretty still and drank tons. I was not well enough to listen to anything on youtube and I took a pain killer and fever reducer every 5 hours but at the end of the 2nd day it looked like it was going to be along drawn out thing. Just like poor Mikey. He was very concerned and wanted me to go the hospital as people my age..... dangerous.... you know how it goes....
This morning, the beginning of the 3rd day looked pretty sinister.. 37.5 for the morning means usually 38 39 in the evening. I still felt pretty bad. Mikey decided he needed to take an Antibiotic and so I dragged myself out of bed and dropped mum off at the station and got the AB from the Pharmacy and delivered it to Mikey. I was talking to him about what is not his favourite subject..Jesus... and he was giving me his usual doubts etc and then in front of him I had a very severe Kidney pain such as I have never experienced before in my life and fell to the floor in pain. It was quite dramatic and then the pain left.I asked for the thermometer and pretended that I could not see the reading. Having started out with 37.5 and doing all that running around, it was bound to be up. IT WAS 36.4..
I then went to Cologne to meet up with Mum and now I am writing to you
God is good and for those of you who, like me until very recently, do not think that Mary is important... She is and to prove it... There would be no JESUS without Mary.. Do you really understand that? Of course God could have used any method to get Jesus here to earth.. Space craft or whatever, but He didn't and as prophesied he was born of a Virgin... So no Mary, no Jesus. She also suffered as is brought out in the Story of the Passion movie on Youtube.. Well worth watching. She is not divine but a creation and a very special one at that.
She is the Queen full of Grace and dispenses Grace on all of us for the asking. Her first dispensation of Grace upon all of us was to bring Jesus into this world. The Old Tabernacle of precious wood and gold with the word carved in stone was replaced by a new tabernacle of flesh with the flesh person of the WORD made FLESH. She suffered terribly as Simeon predicted about the sword that would pierce her heart and was with Our Lord right through His Passion on to His crucifixion and beyond..
The prayer to her in the Rosary is a daily meditation on the main events that punctuate Our Lord's existence on earth. She is the New Eve just as Jesus is the new Adam. Together they reverse the curse from the Garden of Eden. And well worth remembering that in the Old Testament Royalty the queen was not one of the many wives but always the Mother. So Jesus did not need a wife to be his queen but a mother. Don't believe me look it up.
If we all have open hearts, we can learn something new from God every day.

MY VERY LATEST EPIPHANY
My very latest Epiphany!!
I was sitting down to make Rosaries and as usual I would switch on the Internet News or the latest from Alex Jones and suddenly I just could not do that any more.
In the last two or three years, I have learned that the Leadership of this world is Rotten! It is run by satan or lucifer or the devil or whatever you want to call him.
Of course it is rotten and now that the majority have forsaken their God and Creator, He is allowing it to become even worse, leading up to a last ditch effort by the evil one to take over the world in his new world order or agenda 21 (21st Century). This will be the precursor to Christ's return in Glory and Splendour to punish the wicked and to save His People.
We have enjoyed almost 70 years of comparative peace without a devastating World War, and in this comparative calm, we as a people of this planet, have not really taken the opportunity to get back to God and His Son Jesus Christ.
I kind of used to believe that if only enough people would wake up, then we could get our world back again..This is the AJ theory. Also we should prepare and be ready for a MASSIVE FULLY ORCHESTRATED FINANCIAL COLLAPSE, followed by Famine and Plagues and Starvation and Thermo Nuclear War, which is just around the corner. Well with 500 Euro in the bank and 1500 Euro under the mattress, there is not much I can do in a material sense about this inevitable AGENDA 21, and NEW WORLD satanic ORDER.
In my last letter on Saturday called, "We get the Leaders we deserve!" I pretty much realised that the every best thing to do is to get as right as we can with God before all comes tumbling down around our ears.
I switched on one of my Favourite Movies and it is on You tube called, "The Miracle of our Lady of Fatima!"
It was made in the 50s by Warner Brothers and I have watched it many times and I can thoroughly recommend it.
This time it was like I was watching it for the first time.. In 1910 The Monarchy was overthrown by the Communists in Portugal and an oppressive Police state was set up.
Churches were closed and the RC clergy were treated as criminals and only a few out back villages in rural areas were allowed to practice Christianity while being very closely monitored by the atheist authorities.
It was like watching a trial run of what is about to happen soon all over the world.
Please watch the movie and see what happened in the amazing dancing of the sun and the successive apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary appearing to 3 shepherd children on the 13th of each month and culminating on October the 13th 1917 to an estimated crowd of 70,000 who had gatered there together with reporters from many National Newspapers.
THE MIRACLE...... Excerpts from the internet reports
As a great sign of the whole message truly coming from God, a marvelous miracle was worked in the sky above Fatima before 70,000 witnesses on October 13, 1917 at the time, date and place that Lucia and the other two children had prophesied in the name of Our Lady of Fatima. The children were told by Our Lady that God would perform a miracle so that people would believe in the apparitions. The date was October 13, 1917, in Fatima. On that date, 70,000 people came to see the phenomenon. The miracle occurred with the sun. All could stare perfectly at the sun without blinking, or even hurting heir eyes. While all were watching the sun, it rotated, got large and small, got close to the people, and got far away from them. The sun " danced ". Every single person who was there testified to seeing the sun dance, even non- believers who immediately dropped onto their knees and begged for forgiveness.
As early as July 1917 it was claimed that the Virgin Mary had promised a miracle for the last of her apparitions on October 13, so that all would believe. What happened then became known as "Miracle of the Sun". A crowd believed to number approximately 70,000,[7] including newspaper reporters and photographers, gathered at the Cova da Iria. The incessant rain had finally ceased and a thin layer of clouds cloaked the silver disc of the sun. Witnesses said later it could be looked upon without hurting the eyes. Lúcia, moved by what she said was an interior impulse, called out to the crowd to look at the sun. Witnesses later spoke of the sun appearing to change colors and rotate like a wheel. Not everyone saw the same things, and witnesses gave widely varying descriptions of the "sun's dance". The phenomenon is claimed to have been witnessed by most people in the crowd as well as people many miles away. While the crowd was staring at the sun, Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta said later they were seeing lovely images of the Holy Family, Our Lady of Sorrows with Jesus Christ, and then Our Lady of Mount Carmel. They said they saw Saint Joseph and Jesus bless the people. The children were aged 10, 9, and 7 at the time.
Columnist Avelino de Almeida of O Século (Portugal's most influential newspaper, which was pro-government in policy and avowedly anti-clerical), reported the following: "Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bare-headed, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws - the sun 'danced' according to the typical expression of the people."
There is no evidence that people who came to Fátima, even those expecting a miracle, were staring at the sun before Lúcia spoke. Most would have been focused on the tree where the children said the apparition appeared. Some onlookers reported other phenomena, including luminous mist and the showers of flower petals seen around and above the tree during previous visitations.
In addition to the Miracle of the Sun, the seers at Fátima indicated that the apparition prophesied a great sign in the night sky which would precede a second great war. On January 25, 1938, bright lights, an aurora borealis appeared all over the northern hemisphere, including in places as far south as North Africa, Bermuda and California. It was the widest occurrence of the aurora since 1709 and people in Paris and elsewhere believed a great fire was burning and fire departments were called. Lúcia, the sole surviving seer at the time, indicated that it was the sign foretold and so apprised her superior and the bishop in letters the following day. Just over a month later, Hitler seized Austria and eight months later invaded Czechoslovakia.
So that is quite a bit to read and I personally found all this extremely interesting and the Film is well worth seeing and sticks closely to the events described in the above article.
Now for my Epiphany!
Jesus does not, repeat not do everything all by Himself. He could if He wanted to but instead He chooses others like you and me and all the great saints in Heaven and His Blessed Mother to cooperate with Him.
I really do believe that His Holy Mother is the Queen of Heaven and also the Queen of my heart. In the Old Testament, the queens were never the wives of the kings. Solomon had 900 wives, but instead the Mother of the King was chosen for this very important position.
I sincerely believe that just like Jesus is the New Adam, so Mary is the new Eve replacing the first Eve's sin with her decision to obey the command to become the Mother of our Lord and to be His teacher and instructor until he branched out on His own ministry.
Mary now lives firmly in my heart alongside Jesus the Son and God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
I am ready to face the future with these formidable four in my heart. Yes Mary is only a creation of God and is no deity but she is a queen and deserves all the respect that the Queen of Heaven deserves. She is the most hated enemy of satan as she it is who crushes his head.
She is also my Queen and my Holy Mother too and can be yours too for the asking.

WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE
We get the leaders we deserve
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H13DPkb6kjQ
I have devoted the last years of my life, trying to uncover the secrets about the Leadership of this world.
This is my Sunday Blog of Feb the 1st week and I have chosen the title... We Get What We Deserve!
Yes!! satan controls the leadership of the world and always has done.
God allows satan to have this important job so that we all have free choice to follow him or HIM that was crucified for our sins and rose again in VICTORY for our eventual victory too.
However, satan is kept in check by God, and the whole book of Job is about this fact.
When ancient Israel was bad, they got into trouble and were beaten and almost completely destroyed.. Assyrians...Babylonians.. Romans and now the forces of the antichrist.
The same principle would apply to the USA who is a waning top dog at the moment.
The above link will help to show you much about this...
God warned the Israelites about the dangers of having a King. Just like the despotic rulers and Royal Families of today and yesterday, they are all evil and power hungry. To sum up they are all Eugenicist and Misanthropic. Murderers and haters of the ultimate creation of God brought about in His own image, MAN. They hate man but promote animals and the earth and all of the other lesser creations of God. The great duke of edinburgh calls humanity A PLAGUE!! I am sure that his wife agrees as do all the luciferian leaders especially those in control of the cash... THE BANKSTERS..
When the USA was set up in the 1770s and 80s, The leaders were aware of many of the pitfalls and tried to make a constitution to protect the USA citizens form oppressive governments such as they had experienced in Europe. These early leaders were nearly all Bible believing Christians and America quickly rose to world domination as a Super Power. However superpower also spells super corruption and now we are watching the taring down process allowed by God and perpetrated by satan.
There is much you can all do to research on the internet and this brings me to my last and perhaps most important point.
Recently I was getting very excited about the fact that I michael jaffray king had woken up while so many still seem to be asleep. Now I am beginning to realise that the enemy purposely wants many to wake up so that we will have two camps.. THE ENLIGHTENED... AND THE DUMBDED DOWN DRUGGED DOWN ASLEEP VARIETY...
They actually want a Civil War in the USA and all over the world too.
Sunny against Shia.. Protetstant against Catholic...the enlightened against those who are asleep. They want confusion because satan is the author of confusion. Maybe that is why AJ, Alex Jones is allowed to do what he is doing. In the master plan with a small m for satan, they want total confusion and civil war. All out war is bad enough but civil war is the cruelest and most shattering and frightening of all conflicts.
So there you have it for this blog at the beginning of Feb.
Yes it is a great deal later than you think and maybe instead of storing up food and Gold and Silver coins, you start developing a real living relationship with the ONE who has the whole world in HIS HANDS..
Dear Jesus Christ. Please come into my heart and take over my life completely and in every way imaginable. Help me to make YOU my very best friend as well as my LORD and MASTER!
I want to walk with YOU beside me at all times.
GBY and KGFG
mjk..
PS
They want to make you mad..
They want the TSA to stick their fingers into your genitals..
They want you to discover that 9/11 was an inside job... Sandy hook..Piers Morgan...Alex Jones...Oklahoma bombing...Senseless wars in the Middle East and Afghainistan..Corruption at all levels of leadership.. The Higher up you go the greater the corruption..They love for all their false flags to be uncovered..Operation Gladio.. the Bay of Tonkin.. They want to get you mad and yes they will come for your guns... WHY???????????????????? BECAUSE they want a civil war a destructive civil war. They want NATO and the USA to collapse and allow a temporary space for CHINA to rule....
2013... lucky number 13 is going to be one heck of a roller coaster...
Just you wait and see..
Please watch the above link and ba ware of what is going on... Do not be drawn stupidly into violence... The worst they can do is to kill you and then you go somewhere where the eye has not seen nor ear heard nor entered int ot he heart of man what God has promised for those who love HIM... Hang on tight... It is much later than you think... Keep chatting away with Jesus.. He loves you and wants to be your friend..

By Design, satan's plan
BY DESIGN, SATAN'S PLAN!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7dXqP1Zr3E
Sunday blog written 26th January 2013!!!
James Garrow an interview on Infowars with Alex Jones!!!
If you believe in ultimate good....GOD and JESUS CHRIST and the plan of our redemption.
If you believe in ultimate evil......devil...lucifer...satan...
Then what you are about to read from me and from the above link where James Garrow lays it out so clearly, will not be hard to believe..
Since I was just a little boy educated at an expensive Preparatory school, Ashdown House, and then for 3 years at Cheltenham College prior to going to the BRNC Dartmouth Naval college, and then a Navy Officer, I HAVE COME A VERY LONG WAY from being falsely lead to believe that the establishment is basically good and has our interests at heart.
Now there are many people with INTEGRITY within lucifer's camp. They are not all demons. They need good Engineers and Doctors and Scientists and School and University teachers and all the other professions as otherwise the SYSTEM would be so black, no one would buy into it.
It is all about extreme cunning and DECEPTION!!!
DECEPTION that creeps along Incrementally. If it progresses too fast then people would wake up. Even what I am about to relay to you may happen slowly or as I tend to believe now, will happen very quickly and much will happen in the next few months and weeks rather than years and decades.
So from listening carefully to this link and then connecting all the dots so far let me try and lay it out in layman's terms.
The luciferian lead Mega banks have been slowly maneuvering the Western World into debt. Their goal is ultimate total control under lucifer their spiritual leader. The antichrist!
They particularly hate the great world power the USA! Why? Because 90% of the population believe to one degree or another in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Saviour of mankind.
That really infuriates them so this world power must be taken down, and replaced by a more demonic one.
The huge debt of the USA has been taken over by Communist China. By the way.. Communism is the brainchild of satan. Huge nanny state government and a dumbed down half drugged slave population totally under the control of the ruling regime.
China, just like Japan would never want to invade America as long as the citizens have weapons. So they are urging THE MONKEY Obama, to get those guns at any cost. The chinese name for OBAMA, MONKEY, implies a puppet that is controlled and told what to do.
THEY WANT A CIVIL WAR IN THE USA AND THEY WANT OBAMA TO DECEIVE THE PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT HE IS A NEW ABRAHAM LINCOLN. He will lead the war against the USA citizens of the Right and all 2nd ammendment believers and 1st amendment too, so called terrorists who will not willingly lay down their arms, and give up their Constitutional RIGHTS and comply with his order to turn them all in. First it will be the Assault weapons and then all weapons.
As I type this, high up Military leaders are being asked in a kind of Litmus test, if they would be willing to kill USA citizens who are still following the 2nd ammendment and are refusing to hand in their weapons?
If they answer NO then their commissions are being terminated and they are being replaced by those who will obey their Commander in Chief the Puppet President.
James Garrow points all this out...
Civil war in the USA is being promoted... It will help kill and destroy many USA citizens and reduce the population. Population reduction is all a part of the Eugenicist Misanthropic plan of the one who wants TO STEAL KILL AND DESTROY as opposed to the ONE who wants us to have LIFE WITH A CAPITAL L AND HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY. John Ch 10 v 10..
So that is it for this BLOG and I hope you will not believe a WORD but go and do your own research and see if what I am relaying to you... Relaying is the key word because I get all my info from the Holy Bible... soon to be banned... and from Internet research.
Why am I still alive??
First noone will kill me while I am protected by God..
Second if they do kill me, I am going to die one day soon anyway.
Third it actually suits their plan for this info to get out as they actually want a Civil War.
It is all part of their Eugenicist policy..
The Big Joke is that they too will die sometime soon and who would want to be in their shoes. If you want to check out the most horrible death, take a look at the death of Joseph Stalin, who did not die peacefully in his bed but in abject pain and terror.
Hail Mary full of grace... The Lord is with you... Blessed are you amongst women and Blessed is the Fruit of your womb, JESUS!
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death!
Do you think that Jo Stalin the man of steel prayed that prayer before he died???
No WAY HOSEY!

Over 9 million views in as many days..
What is going on???
It is Sunday the 20th of January 2013.
The day before obama's inaugeration..
Here is the 30 minute 19 second link to you tube..
It is a must watch and is guaranteed to change your life for ever..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM2MK9FOuHY
Do not be scared of satan... he is a punk and the very worst he can do to you is to kill you.
You are going to die one day anyway so what is the big problem?????
My Holy Bible says very clearly,
in the Gospel of Saint Matthew chapter 10 verse 28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
For writing this Sunday blog, I might get into trouble...
My death may be staged, or a suicide, or me found killing my own...
I can assure you that I will try to continue to live as long as I can in my effort to wake people up to the fact that both THE ALMIGHTY AND ALL LOVING AND OMNIPOTENT GOD,THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT are all very real and that satan the deceiving punk is real too.
NOW FOR A VERY POWERFUL PRAYER FOR US ALL TO PRAY TOGETHER...
It really is much later than you think and you need to do some real thinking and making sure that you are on the right side.
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend me and mine, (and you and yours) in this day of battle. Be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May GOD rebuke him I humbly pray and do thou o prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Divine power of GOD, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits which prowl around the world seeking the ruin of souls.
We address you Saint Michael in this prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the LIVING GOD who died for us on Calvary's hill and rose again conquering death for ever and granting Eternal Life for those who believe and embrace YOUR TRUTH in the Holy Bible.
Like I have said many many times in my previous blogs.. There is a war raging between Good and evil..
Take away one o out of good and you get GOD!!!!
Add a d infront of evil and you get the enemy of GOD the devil or lucifer or satan.
The immediate future and all throughout 2013 will bring about the very real rule of the antichrist... It is going to be a bumpy and very exciting ride, so please make sure that you stay in the saddle and do not fall off into satan's camp. Ride that Gospel Horse and hang on tight to the reins and grip tight with your knees.
False flags are nothing new..
Here is a link of the more notable ones in recent and past HIS STORY
http://www.setyoufreenews.com/2011/01/09/a-brief-history-of-false-flags/
It leaves out Operation Gladio so here is a link for that atrocity... All false flags are attrocities of murder and destruction carried out by satan and his ruthless followers in order to decieve us...
This as you will see if you go to the link, is nothing new....
Here is another.
http://www.infowars.com/new-documentary-about-operation-gladio-and-false-flag-terrorism
Personally I do not believe that I am an important enough fry to be bothered. I am just a sparrow and there are many more bigger birds than sparrows.
But I tell you that it might be possible and if I do disappear or allegedly do some atrocity please do not believe it.
Do not be deceived any longer...
Saint Faustina's image of Jesus has the Inscription written below it..
JESUS I TRUST IN YOU!!!!
Please trust in HIM..
Do your very own investigation...

DO YOU WANT TO BVE A WINNER FOR CHRIST????
Do you want to be a winner for Jesus Christ?
I hope that your answer to this question will be a sound and resounding YES!!!!!
First let's look at how God became a winner when He Won us.
What did He do??
He took a huge risk by coming to this world to save us.
He did not sit comfortably on His Throne in Heaven but He actually went on a 33 to 34 year Journey into our time and space and became a man.
We of course know the story well.
Just imagine if He had not done that, then we would not be here in the state of mind of a Christian.
God sent Jesus and in the same way that God sent Jesus, He sends us. I will give you the verse which proves what I am saying.
John Chapter 20 verse 21...
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
We used to have a saying in the Missionary movement to which I used to belong to and it went like this...
"
"If you witness, you always win!!!!"
When examining a statement like that it is always a good idea to check out the converse or the opposite.
"If you do not witness then there is no winning!"
It is like Matthew ch 7 verse 7..
If you do not ask, you get nothing... If you do not seek, you find nothing... and if you do not knock then no doors will open...
If Jesus had not been sent by His Father then there would be NO CHRISTIANS!!!! No way Hosey!!!
Well let's have a quick look why Christians just do not bother to witness.
They do lots of Good Things... They Go to Church and to Holy Mass...They are reasonably decent people most of the time!
They are nice to their friends but they do not risk going out to explain to people the wonderful Good News of the GOSPEL..
You are right it is pretty tough when you go up to someone with a Gospel tract and ask them to read it or even better to have a chat with you and they rudely give you the finger and tell you to go to Hell!
After that has happened a few times most people are ready to pack up and go home.
We had a good friend and her teenage daughter spent a whole day on a doubledecker bus parked in a busy street and they were inviting people to come on board and have a free coffee and talk about Jesus.
She told her mother that it was so exhausting and nerve shattering that she had to take three days off to get over this terrible experience! Ha!!!
Thank God that Jesus obeyed HIS DAD and came to this SICK HURTING WORLD to rescue me and you!!! Amen???
Well dear Irmgard and I do this every single day of our lives including Sundays after going to Holy Mass in the Cathedral DOM in Cologne Germany.
I can just hear the Pharisees saying..."So you work on a Sunday!!!!"
Shame on you!!! Keep the Sundays Holy!!!
Well what could be more Holy than obeying John Ch 20 verse 21???
Now for a shocker...
I am going to tell you that it is much later than you think!!!!!
When we die, then that is the end of the world for us! That is our endtime!
I have always been fascinated by Bible Prophecy ... Daniel... Revelation... Matthew 24 etc etc.
I gobble this stuff up.
I am sure that many of you are familiar with the verse in Matthew Ch 24 verse 15...
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
This is a passage which is usually correctly interpreted to mean the beginning of the GREAT TRIBULATION
As a Protestant I was always lead to believe that the HOLY PLACE was inside the soon to be built Jewish Temple..
Well now I definitely do not believe that the Jewish Temple will ever be rebuilt.. It has been superseded by Jesus' New Covenant and God is no longer demanding for the blood of animals because His Own Son has shed His Blood for us for the full remission of sins in the most perfect sacrifice ever imaginable!!
So where is the Daily Sacrifice today??
Every day there is a Holy Mass sacrifice all over the world in the Roman Catholic Church.
This is the only notable Church to stand up against the murder of the unborn, 50,000 000 since Roe v wade 40 years ago in the USA alone.
Not only will the great obama the great barac obama try to grab the guns so as to bring in the satanic luciferian new world order and agenda 21 the devil's agenda for the 21st century but he will force the Roman Catholic Church to comply with abortion or murder and force them to take part in his misanthropic eugenicist programme of destroying 4/5ths of the human race....
It is later than you think...IT IS LATER THAN YOU THINK!!!!!

DIALOGUE BETWEEN CHRIST AND A MUSLIM
Dialogue between Christ and a Muslim
By Robert Reilly
SATURDAY, 05 JANUARY 2013
27
Scene: Before the heavenly Throne.
Muslim (upon seeing Christ): “Is this a dream?”
Christ: “No. Something much better.”
Muslim: “I didn’t expect to see you here far above everyone. I thought you were coming back at the end of time to break the Cross, as we Muslims believe.”
Christ: “No, I’m not coming back to break the Cross. Rather, I was broken on the Cross, which is why you’re able to appear before me today.”
Muslim: “But we believe that the all-powerful God would not allow one of his prophets to be treated that way. That is why we refuse to believe you were crucified. It was some other man, or a shadow.”
Christ: “But I am not simply one of the prophets. I am God. I chose to allow myself to be treated this way to fulfill what the prophets foretold of the Suffering Servant.”
Muslim: “But God can’t do that! He can’t suffer and die.”
Christ: “Who are you to limit what God can do?”
Muslim: “But we are the true defenders of God’s absolute omnipotence. God is whoever is all powerful."
Christ: “So, right is the rule of the stronger?”
Muslim: “Yes. God decides because He is the strongest.”
Christ: “And He can decide anything?”
Muslim: “Yes, anything, and whatever He decides is just.”
Christ: “He is not bound even by His own word?”
Muslim: “No, not by anything.”
Christ: “But I am the Word. I am true to Myself. Pure will and power are arbitrary, tyrannical. I would be a despot.”
Muslim: “But we were taught that God cannot be confined by our human ideas of justice.”
Christ: “From where did you think you got those ideas of justice in the first place, if not from Me?”
Muslim: “I don’t know. Islam tells us to submit without questioning. The great al-Ghazali taught us that, ‘the mind. . .once it testifies to the truthfulness of the prophet, must cease to act.’”
Christ the Redeemer by Andrea Mantegna, 1493
Christ: “That it is a betrayal of Me. I seek rational consent, not cowering subjection. Tell me: can the all-powerful God enter his creation?”
Muslim: “Yes, but only through his word to his prophets to give us his commands.”
Christ: “But, as I said, I am the Word.”
Muslim: “But you are flesh.”
Christ: “Yes, the Word made flesh, because God is also Love and wishes to save you. Though I am the strongest, I made myself the weakest out of love for you.”
Muslim: “We are taught that God can only favor us (if we obey Him) because He is complete in Himself, and loving us would indicate some lack in Him. So, this kind of love cannot be. It is a forbidden thought.”
Christ: “You cannot forbid Me. I suffer no lack from this love. I do not need to complete myself, but to complete you. You have a hole in your soul. Only I can fill it. I became man for this purpose.”
Muslim: “Yes, we thought you were a man, certainly not the son of God. That would be blasphemy.”
Christ: “I know. You have a false idea of Me from the Qur’an, just as it mistakenly tells you that the Trinity is composed of Father, Son, and Mary. Neither did you believe that God is your Father, but some infinitely distant, unknowable Being, who could not possibly be in relation to you, except as a master to a slave.”
Muslim: “Yes, that is my name – Abdullah, ‘slave of God.’”
Christ: “But I am the Son of God, who made you my brother. I became human, so you could become divine. That’s how you became children of God. You have no idea how dear you are to me.”
Muslim: “But I can’t possibly be a child of God! God is infinitely above me.”
Christ: “But We made you in our own image and likeness.”
Muslim: “We say in Islam, ‘bila kayfa wala tashbih’ – which is: ‘without asking how and without comparing.’ It is forbidden for us to compare anything to God, much less ourselves. So, I find all this inconceivable.”
Christ: “I know. In fact, it required Conception – my Incarnation. But I am not telling you anything against your reason.”
Muslim: “We abandoned reason and submitted ourselves to the text of the Qur’an.”
Christ: “In doing that, you abandoned me, for I am Logos. Iam Reason. That is why my pope, Benedict XVI, proclaimed that, ‘not acting reasonably is contrary to God's nature.’ This is why so many of you have behaved unreasonably, and why you could not find Me.”
Muslim: “Since we do not believe any of these things, how did I get here then?”
Christ: “You got here by the merits of the very things you deny, my Sonship and my sacrifice, because you had no chance to accept them. You knew nothing but Islam. And yet you lived a good and decent life by the lights you were given. I love you none the less for that. I died for you, too.”
Muslim: “I thought there would be only Muslims here, and that the Christians would be in Hell. But now that I see what the Christians said is true, why am I not in Hell?”
Christ: “I only send to Hell those who choose it. In fact, they send themselves.”
Muslim: “How can you forgive me for being so blind?”
Christ: “You knew not what you were doing.”
Muslim (falling on his knees, forehead to the ground): “My Lord and my God, how can I adore you now?”
Christ: “By loving me back. Now that you see me as I Am, you can do this. Welcome. One of my priests martyred in Algeria in 1998, Fr. Christian, prayed before his death that he ‘could contemplate with the Father his children of Islam as He sees them.’ He is with my Father doing that now. You may join him and see for your self. Then pray for your fellow Muslims that they, too, may see. I want them all for Myself.”
