Messenger:     Jesus said people can become
                    pathological liars and I don't know
                    what that is. But I know this.
                    People in a dysfunctional family, many
                    times are sworn to secrecy to continue
                    the dysfunction in the family setting and
                    present a pure untainted picture
                    to the world (outside the house) with alcohol and drugs.
                    The alcoholic or drug addict's behavior
                    is totally unpredictable and the enabler
                    is controlled by the unpredictable
                    alcoholic or user.

                       Unpredictability of one pulling the strings
                    another dancing to their step like one leading
                    the dance, the alcoholic leads, the enabler follows
                    priding themselves on their ability to rescue and
                    help the sick alcoholic who uses and maybe destroying
                    the family life. They (the alcoholic) are practiced in their
                    methods of trying to make the enabler responsible
                    for them. They begin the dance, the
                    enabler runs to the dance floor,
                    the alcoholic leads, the mind of the enabler
                    so focused on the steps, somewhere down the
                    line the enabler begins to forget about their
                    own spiritual growth. They can begin working
                    outside themselves, rescuing, looking for solutions
                    for the alcoholic to change. Thinking to themselves
                    all their answers for their happiness, for spiritual
                    freedom lies in fixing their alcoholic mate, son,
                    daughter, whatever.

                       If your own recovery you think depends on
                    another, one must face the fact that we come into
                    this world by ourselves (disregarding a twin, etc.) and
                    we usually die by ourselves at the appointed time.

                       We all  have weaknesses of the flesh due
                    to original sin, the concupiscence of the flesh, 

7 Capital Sins
    Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth  

                       Our lives are to be lived in learning to love
                   God and each other, in building these skills
                   that we are being molded more and more into
                   the image and likeness of Christ. To be likened
                   to Christ this is our goal, to follow the new
                   Adam and the new Eve this is our quest for
                   happiness - to seek God.

                   Song: Your Love is Finer than Life

March 5, 2006 message continues

Jesus speaks:  The dog will not talk,
                        but you can share abundantly in
                           My life through baptism and
                           your loving and knowing
                           capacity is elevated -

                       Come to Me and share My love.

                       Teach others about Love!!

Messenger:      In writing about the God "box" I
                           had a vision of a box that said
                           "God box" on it and one of the things
                           that Jesus is referring to is that He
                           does not want us to throw the idea
                           of God off to something on the side,
                           like every time we think something
                           of God we throw the thoughts in an
                           exterior box marked "God box"
                           something not within me.

                           Now baptism is such a gift
                       because God gives us a sharing
                       in His life: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
                       dwell within, within the graced soul.
                       God IN us. God dwelling in us.

                       Now you see how silly it is for the child
                           to expect the dog to talk and yet if the dog
                           could share in the talking capacity
                           of a human person how silly for the
                           dog not to use it. But God gives to
                           us this tremendous gift through baptism
                           of His life within the graced soul
                           of this elevated knowing and loving capacity,
                           the baptized Christian has and many
                           do not even realize this.

Jesus speaks:   I give you the gift of baptism.
                       I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
                       I dwell abundantly in your graced soul.
                       Now I say to you, ponder this analogy.
                       The analogy of this message.

                       You think of the enabling spouse, the
                       one being blinded by the sickness
                       of the alcoholic user, the one wanting
                       a way out of their box filled with pain
                       but addicted in a small way to the
                       rescuing techniques they have learned
                       to fill their minds some with a
                       prideful motive "I am better than
                       the alcoholic." "He needs me and
                       he is not as good as me."

                       They do the dance of his steps daily
                       as the sickness may control their
                       lives and many children in these scenarios
                       may have many unmet needs
                       because the enabler dances to
                       the dance of the user priding themselves
                       on how the user needs them
                       and the alcoholic may drink away and
                       away and away while the enabler
                       takes responsibility for the problems
                       that are created from the users habits.

                           A user comes and cries to help him
                       to someone who may not understand
                       the alcoholic dance, for he or she becomes
                       a pro at their mask behavior which
                       happens frequently in the secrets of any
                       dysfunction.

                           In dysfunctional homes in relationships
                       that are not healthy where one needs
                       to rescue (for their own prideful power)
                       and the other is some stance is made by
                       some form of control, needy. The
                       rescuer goes to work. Manipulating
                       possibly, keeping the other at bay
                       using some form of control, creating
                       problems in other places, whatever
                       it takes for them to have this rescuing
                       role which gives them a sense of
                       power, satisfaction in helping the other
                       who must of course have many problems
                       for the rescuer to indulge in his habits
                       and puff up his foolish pride.

                           The bottom line is this when
                       relationships have failed causing tremendous hurt
                       there must be a process of recovery to continue
                       in a foolish dialogue with oneself
                       stuffing the pain acting wisely they
                       think, for those involved may affect
                       others connected with the individual
                       as the anger from the lack of forgiveness
                       of the hurt relationship "surfaces" and
                       is acted out on unrelated others
                       in their lives. Forgiveness in all
                       relationships is vital to the spiritual
                       life for lack of forgiveness acts like
                       a jumping monkey when the anger
                       arises in the unforgiving party, his
                       monkey jumps on an innocent other
                       while he once again prides himself
                       on how he had no need of recovery and
                       forgiveness in the hurtful relationship
                       for he pridefully states "I am above
                       this".

                           In watching cartoons, one can see
                       easily how the 7 deadly sins come
                       into play as animated figures many
                       times show anger, evil, good, jealousy
                       and yet you do not see in your own
                       lives how you block the Father's will
                       giving into the weaknesses you have
                       toward jealousy, envy, greed, lustfulness,
                       slothfulness, anger ...
                       and lying to yourselves and others
                       with your hand in the cookie jar.

                           Transferring your anger onto innocent
                       others, lying, seeing yourself as spotless
                       must be addressed for it will act
                       like an evil seed in your heart
                       that can soon open a door to
                       greater evil and greater sin. Once
                       sin is a practice with your consent and
                       you begin to lie about its evilness
                       because of your desire for perfection
                       (letting all think you are perfect
                       at all cost, etc.) -

                       Lying about the truth is like a big
                       boulder in a room - no matter
                       what you want to do in the room
                       the boulder takes up most of it.

                       I want to fill you with My grace.

                       I want to be one in you and
                       operate from your heart.

                       I fill you with Myself and your
                       heart knows more why you were created.

                       Lies can grow bigger and bigger.
                       Open a door to evil and it is like
                       opening a door in a down pouring rain.

Jesus speaks: Go to the priests and tell them your
                       sins.

                       The priest has the power to forgive your sins.
                       If he does not say it ask him
                           to forgive all the sins of your
                           past life.

                       Make a good Confession.

                       Ask yourself how you were jealous,
                       angry, envious, how you try to
                       manipulate others for your own power
                       because you may have lost power
                       in one situation, work, husband,
                       life, children.

                       Did you try to get that power
                       back from another situation where
                       it was not God's will only to make
                       yourself feel superior.

                       Do you obey authority, observe
                       structure, argue to be right,
                       blocking what needs to be done.

                       Do you like control for control sake,
                       more interested in your own power
                       rather than the good of My Kingdom.

                       When you leave the confessional and
                       you have made a good confession,
                       telling your sins, not trying to
                       make yourself right once again
                       when you really were wrong,
                       How good does that feel -
                       you receive tremendous grace from
                       a good confession to help you not to sin.

Sing the Song:  Be Not Afraid

Jesus speaks:  Tell the Truth.

                           If you were in the habit of telling yourself
                       you were sinless you know you must
                       examine your conscience.

                           Lying to yourself blocks your union with Me.
                           After confession, pray for grace to be holy.

                           When problems occur with others
                           pray for them.
