This morning I found Pansy Mae Rosamond, a descendant of Patriot, Samuel Rosamond. You will find Rosamond names that remind me of Daisy Mae Abner, who was proud to be poor. President Trump has shamed the American Poor who can’t even aford to buy headstones, least a dress to go toothe ball.
I will write the story of Pansy Mae Rosamond, the great, great granddaughter of a
When Samuel Erastus Rosamond was born on 14 April 1885, in Bradleyville, Taney, Missouri, United States, his father, Nonimus Nathaniel Rosamond, was 31 and his mother, Rosalie A. Bennett, was 29. He married Delia P. Dodson on 20 December 1903, in Newton, Arkansas, United States. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 2 daughters. He lived in Bergman, Boone, Arkansas, United States in 1940 and Polk Township, Newton, Arkansas, United States for about 1 years. He died on 8 June 1960, in Ben Hur, Newton, Arkansas, United States, at the age of 75, and was buried in Rosamond Cemetery, Lurton, Newton, Arkansas, United States.
When Pansy Mae Rosamond was born on 20 May 1935, in Bass, Newton, Arkansas, United States, her father, William Franklin Rosamond, was 30 and her mother, Nilon Ethridge, was 23. She married Estel Eugene Brown on 30 August 1952, in Bixby, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. She lived in United States in 1949 and Glenpool, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States in 1950. She died on 23 September 1996, in Pawhuska, Osage, Oklahoma, United States, at the age of 61, and was buried in Pappin Cemetery, Pawhuska, Osage, Oklahoma, United States.

After Dottie and I moved in together in Boston, we decided to move to California, which was a mistake. In talking to my therapist for three years, I saw I was beginning to suffer from PTSD. In hindsight, I beat the Boston Mafia – with their help. The MURDER of that puppy broke all codes for all people, everywhere! It is the shattering of basic codes and conduct that starts the dissolving of reality. There is a self-betrayal going on, in that you could have avoided the crisis if your ego had not compelled you to get involved. Policemen who kill dangerous citizens, conclude if they had not become a policeman, they would have never taken a life. Rendering life, dead, has a God-like consideration.
We should have stayed in Boston – and founded a church! This is what Dottie wanted to do, and felt destined to do. She descends from Signer John Witherspoon, who did introduce Christianity into the authoring of our Constitution – they say! Show me evidence of this.
I need four days to lay the ministry of Doug Wilson, low. He invoked the name of my kin, Robert E. Lee, and Jeb Stuart. He claims slaves had a wonderful bond with their owners.
Dottie and I hitched to Columbia South Carolina, where I met her sisters and cousins. I looked like Jesus. I did not know about my Rosamond ancestors of South Carolina. If I did, I would have asked Dottie to be my wife. We would have a Southern wedding before we left for California. I wish we hadn’t gone. Dottie met a Christian friend of mine, and left with her to live on a Jesus ranch. She took our Blue Tick Hound, Benjamin that was born on the 4th. of July. Our ancestors owned slaves.
It is alleged a million Evangelicals like Putin. Due to the declarations of Kirill, I highly suggest American churches should give their allegiance to real Patriot churches. May Witherspoon be a sane guide, who was there! British soldiers burned his library and papers.
John Presco
EXTRA! After I made this post, I watch MSNBC and hear Doug Wilson say women are where babies come from. He wants to deny women the right the vote. For this reason I declare myself The Vicar of the Post Office, that was built by a clause in our Constitution – that did not give women the vote! Why?
John Presco
John Witherspoon
In 1774-1775, he represented his county in the New Jersey provincial assembly, successfully agitating for the removal and imprisonment of the Royal Governor and received an appointment to the Continental Congress. On July 2, 1776, in response to a delegate who opposed ratification of the Declaration by saying “we are not ripe for revolution”, John replied, “Not ripe sir, we are not only ripe for the measure but in danger of rotting for the want of it”. In 1776, when the war entered New Jersey territory, he closed the College of New Jersey. The British occupied the College, burned its library and in general left things a mess. Many of John’s papers were burned or destroyed at this time. The next year, James, one of John’s sons, lost his life at the Battle of Germantown, PA.
Doug Wilson and Kirill are like twins. Jesus hates the self-righteous who climb on the backs of sinners, and the underdog to get a seat near the Throne of God. These two alleged theologians are into invading other cities in the name of Jesus.

Since our Founding Fathers authored the Post Office Clause, American Christians have felt secure to use this Government Institution to send Biblical Messages to one another, and Images of the Birth of the Christian Savior – as well as the Three Wise Kings. Our Post Offices are still being used to fulfill The Great Commission! In our Public Post Office, the Separation of Church and State – was never honored – thus I claim this Co-mingling in the name of Universal Religion.

Vicar of the American Post Office
Vicar of Christ (Latin: Vicarius Christi) is a term used in different ways and with different theological connotations throughout history. The original notion of a vicar is as an “earthly representative of Christ“, but it is also used in the sense of “person acting as parish priest in place of a real parson.”[1] The title is now used in Catholicism to refer to the bishops,[2] and more specifically, was historically used to refer to the Bishop of Rome (the pope).
Last month, onetime Fox News host Tucker Carlson sat in his cabin-like studio and introduced a bearded, 70-year-old Idaho pastor named Doug Wilson as the person “most closely identified” with Christian nationalism, calling him one of the “rare” clergy “willing to engage on questions of culture and politics.” The vibe was similarly effusive weeks later, when Charlie Kirk, founder of the youth-focused conservative group Turning Point USA, had Wilson on his podcast to define Christian nationalism for listeners, calling the Reformed pastor a “thoughtful, brilliant thinker.”
The Russian Orthodox Church has approved a remarkable new document that spells out the Kremlin’s intention to destroy Ukraine while also making the ideological argument for a broader confrontation with the Western world. The decree was issued during a March 27-28 congress of the World Russian People’s Council, which is headed by Russian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Kirill. It calls the invasion of Ukraine a “Holy War” with the explicit aim of extinguishing Ukrainian independence and imposing direct Russian rule.
Churches often issue decrees stating official positions on key issues, but rarely do these proclamations involve calls to violence or territorial ambitions. Russia is mentioned 53 times in the 3000-word document, underlining the very clear focus on the Russian state’s earthly interests. “From the spiritual and moral point of view, the Special Military Operation is a Holy War, in which Russia and its people are defending the single spiritual space of Holy Russia,” the document states, using the Kremlin’s preferred euphemism for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The decree goes on to stress Ukraine’s status as part of the wider “Russian World,” while underlining the need to extinguish Ukrainian statehood once and for all. Following the conclusion of the current war, it states, “the entire territory of modern Ukraine should enter Russia’s exclusive zone of influence. The possibility of a political regime hostile to Russia and its people existing on this territory must be completely excluded.”
The Big Lying going on, fueled by billionaires paying for politicians, spells doom for our Democracy. The Stewarts aligned themselves with the two sisters that founded a religious schism. This came to America, and the Protestants prevailed. Mary’s loyal folks hid themselves, and were exiled to Canada as Tories. The crusade against WOKE and Pro-lifers, is a sham by the Church-State to destroy growing secularism that threatens the status quo new and old wealth who own most of the land.
Tonight, The Tea Party Express, will be having a televised debate. For the most part, the Tea Party is the latest cult to come down the turnpike in order to save America. Most tea party members, are Jesus Freaks disguised at capitalistic Patriots, verses, Leftist anti capitalist Hippy Socialist who want America to be a Communal Welfare State modeled after the old fashioned Jesus, before he was remodeled by Dick Armey to be the second coming of Howard Roarke, who rapes his love-object who is playing female sex games in order to own power in Industrial America, the land of Rich He-men. So much for the Woman’s Movement. It’s back to old fashioned values where women wore Quaker dresses, like the ones worn at the Lighthouse Ranch, where Dottie Witherspoon took our Blue Tick hound dog, when she ran away to find Jesus.
Thanks Dottie! This is how I am treated after – I SAVED YOU?
I met Dottie through my friend, Michelle, who I met a year earlier. She was a member of The Process. She wore a long black robe with a hood. Her younger friend wore a blue cape, because she was a novice. I fell for the novice, and we became lovers. I would later rescue Michelle from a Mafia chief. But, lets save that story for another day.
Dottie was Michelle’s naive roommate, who had come to Boston from South Carolina. Michelle was concerned for Dottie because she was going to move back to New Orleans, and she was a babe in the woods. On cue, into Dottie’s apartment comes Devil Boy, a weasel like entity that had taken acid and was proud of his witchy powers he had discovered within. To prove to me he had the right stuff, he points his finger at Dottie’s cat, and shot it with a jolt of bad energy. The cat thought she was going to be petted, approached, purring, and now winces after being dosed with bad energy. I was not impressed.
“You’re a little shit, aren’t you? How would you feel if I did that to you?”
I watched Devil Boy wince, he looking in my eyes wondering why I was not afraid of his black magic. We had our Clint Eastwood moment, and he left, never to return. I moved in and became Dotties lover. The cat fell in love with me, and followed me like a little puppy when we went to the park. That’s us up in a tree.
Above is a photo of Girmson the head of the Process, and Mel Lyman wearing shades. Mel married Jessie Benton the daughter of the famous artist, Thomas Hart Benton, Garth Benton’s cousin. The children in the tree are Mel’s children, some born from Benton’s womb. Thanks to my genealogical research, these folks are kin to the Royal Stewarts. Mel claimed he is God, an Avatar, thus, God is my kinfolk.
I watched allot of 911 programs yesterday, everyone of them declaring “America will never be the same.”
They said the same thing about the Charlie Manson murders, and the Jim Jones Jesus cult suicides. Then there is David Koresh and Waco. What these folks have in common is the hatred of Government. Jone’s generals murdered Congressman Ryan, shot him dead with a rifle. Then Reverand Jim brought out the big vats of poisoned Cool-aid. Today, weak willed folks are woofing down that Tea Bag Espresso and carrying guns to rallies. Yeehaw!
Nope! It’s the same ol America, full of religious nuts fleeing real civilization because for the most part, they are insane! Osama Bin Laden was a religious fanatic trained by the U.S. Government to bring down the Evil Empire of Socialist Communalism. When the CIA betrayed him, Bin went after Anne Rand’s hero high atop the Trade Tower. The rest is common American History!
The Lighthouse Ranch was one of the Christian communes I was involved with when I was a new Christian in the Jesus Movement. I lived at a Christian commune called Living Waters in Whitethorn, Calif. for a couple of months. Living Waters was a part of The Lighthouse Ranch. On Sundays we meaning all the members of the different communes met at a church for worship and dinner. Durkin oftened preached or taught the Bible. The commune Living Waters had around a couple hundred people living on a large tract of land. We often would go to Eureka to work or for fellowship. I remember all the Jesus Freaks around Living Waters coming for weekends of worship, praise and teaching. There would be up to 500 people at these gatherings of Jesus People. I will never forget the worship services of hundreds men, women and children singing in tongues and dancing in the Spirit. I lived at Living Waters for couple of months and left due to lack of women and food. I still have a small Good News for Modern Man NT I bought around that time. I still miss the spiritual fellowship of those days of long ago. I suppose I am still looking, longing, and searching for the kind of spiritual fellowship I had with Jesus Freaks here among the Dutch Reformed.

Jim Durkin and Lighthouse Ranch – In the summer of 1970 while Jim Durkin was experiencing dissatisfaction with his ministry, he was approached by several Jesus People looking to begin an evangelistic ministry to the hippies. Though initially hesitant, Durkin allowed the young group access to one of his apartment complexes helping them establish a coffeehouse outreach program. As the ministry blossomed they looked to him for leadership. He acquired an abandoned coast guard station eleven miles outside of Eureka, California allowing the young Christians to use this as their new home. Corvallis Gazette-Times/August 4, 2005 By Theresa Hogue More than three decades ago, two women from different backgrounds found themselves searching for a sense of belonging, and both, for a while, thought they’d found it in communal living. What they found instead was that they were immersed in cults, and once in, it was very difficult to leave. The two women have written memoirs about their lives in communes in the early 1970s as a way to work through their experiences and share them with others. Although they lived in very different communal groups with different principles, they discovered that both had one fundamental similarity — the subordination of women. They’ll discuss their memoirs Friday at Grass Roots Books & Music. D’arcy Fallon was an Army brat, born in Monterrey, Calif., and raised “all over.” She was baptized Catholic and attended parochial school for a few years, but her parents weren’t strictly religious. Fallon found herself, at 18, traveling and living on the land, celebrating the experimental lifestyle of the 1960s. “I just really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life,” Fallon said. She was hitchhiking near Eureka, Calif., when she was picked up by a member of the Lighthouse Ranch, just outside the city on the beach. She was invited to have dinner at the ranch, which she described as a stunningly beautiful spot on the coast. Fallon was taken in by the warmth of the members of Lighthouse Ranch, a fundamentalist Christian commune. There, she felt welcomed, and part of something larger. Through the persuasion of commune members, she became “saved,” and accepted Jesus Christ as her savior, a necessity for life at the ranch. “My parents were really appalled,” she said. “I sent them letters filled with Scripture and they said ‘Omigod, she’s in a cult.’ ” Fallon tried to assuage their fears, telling them she was there of her own free will, which she was, and that she was happy, which she wasn’t. Life at the ranch was extremely structured. Women and men were kept separated, and sex was allowed only between married couples. Women were expected to marry within the group and be good wives, submissive and supportive to their husbands. Life was divided between work and worship. “It was very dramatic,” she said. “Picture yourself living at the edge of the world and you have been called. … It gives your life this aura of drama.” But after Fallon married another member of the group, she began to have strong doubts. She wanted a “normal” marriage and relationship, but her husband was more interested in belonging to the group than in sharing life with her. Finally, she and her husband were sent to Brooklyn, N.Y., to do evangelical work, and it was there she finally convinced her husband to leave the group. They fled to his home in Montreal, Canada, and a year later, divorced and went their separate ways. Now, Fallon describes herself as an agnostic, and finds the support and community she needs from her new husband, son and friends. She has learned in the meantime that she didn’t have to change to be accepted. “People will accept you the way you are,” she said. “You don’t have to be spiritual.” Molly Hollenbach also spent much of her youth moving back and forth between Southern California and Michigan. She said moving so frequently made her something of a nomad, and during graduate school she decided to drop out and have “adventures.” “I was exploring the wide world of the ’60s,” she said. Fascinated by ideas of personal freedom and political change, she found herself drawn to the World Affairs Conference in Boulder, Colo., where she heard members of a New Mexican commune speaking about their life in Taos. “They described this wonderful community they called The Family,” Hollenbach said. “It was based on Gestalt therapy.” Hollenbach was enthralled, and begged members to take her with them when they returned to New Mexico. A short time later, she found herself living in a five-room adobe house with 55 other people. The tenets of the group forbid drugs, and encouraged face-to-face communication through conflict and group marriage. Members were expected to give up their personal possessions and their names, and revolutionize the world by revolutionizing themselves. To her surprise, Hollenbach found the group operated on principles that went directly against what she’d learned in the feminist movement. The group leader was an older man named Lord Byron, who demanded sexual access to all female members of the group. Although theoretically all members were equal, Lord Byron was “more equal” than others. “The first or second day I said, ‘This is really sexist. Women wore skirts and worked in the kitchen.’ ” But her complaints and criticisms were swiftly silenced by group members, who told her she needed to live the lifestyle before she criticized it. “They put me down and said, ‘You’ve thought about it, we’ve lived it,’ ” she recalled. She became more involved in the group, and more confused because the things she felt were wrong were called right by her fellow members. She finally became disillusioned both by the way in which Lord Byron held sway, believing himself the Messiah, and the way she simply didn’t feel right about the way things were going. “I thought I was crazy,” she said. Finally, she fled, going to a psychiatrist to find out whether she was sane. Reassured, she moved on with her life, using her experiences within the commune for her master’s thesis. She earned a doctorate degree, taught and then eventually became a journalist. She didn’t talk about her experiences with The Family for years, but one day, during a writing conference at Fishtrap in Joseph, she began putting her memories onto paper. “I realized I needed to,” she said. The most important lesson Hollenbach said she learned from her time with The Family was to become her own person. “It is very hard for women to assert themselves and say ‘No, this isn’t right for me,’” she said. “It forced me to define myself.” At a glance Margaret Hollenbach and D’Arcy Fallon will discuss their experiences in communes in the 1970s at Grass Roots Books & Music at 4 p.m. Friday. “Lost and Found: My Life in a Group Marriage Commune” by Hollenbach and “So Late, So Soon, A Memoir” by Fallon are both available at the store.
The Process, or in full, The Process Church of the Final Judgment, commonly known by non-members as the Process Church, was a religious group that flourished in the 1960s and 1970s, founded by the English couple Mary Anne and Robert DeGrimston (originally Robert Moor and Mary Anne MacLean).[1] Originally headquartered in London it had developed as a splinter client cult group from Scientology,[1] so that they were declared “suppressive persons” by L. Ron Hubbard in December 1965.[2] In 1966 the members of the group underwent a social implosion and moved to Xtul on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, where they developed “processean” theology (which differs from, and is unrelated to process theology). They later established a base of operations in the United States in New Orleans.[2] They were often viewed as Satanic on the grounds that they worshipped both Christ and Satan. Their belief is that Satan will become reconciled to Christ, and they will come together at the end of the world to judge humanity, Christ to judge and Satan to execute judgment. Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor of the Charles Manson family trial, comments in his book Helter Skelter that there may be evidence Manson borrowed philosophically from the Process Church, and that representatives of the Church visited him in jail after his arrest. According to one of these representatives, the purpose of the visit was to interview Manson about whether he had ever had any contact with Church members or ever received any literature about the Church.
ong the very first members of the Fort Hill Community were three couples: Mel Lyman and Jessie Benton, former wife of David Gude; Mel’s artist friend Eben Given and Sophie Lucero, former wife of Mel Lyman; and David Gude and Faith Franckenstein, daughter of novelist Kay Boyle. (These three marriages, too, have long since dissolved.) Also Faith’s brother, Ian, other friends, some children and one grandmother – Kay Boyle herself.
“It was when my ax-son-in-law David Gude left Vanguard Records that I first heard of Mel Lyman,” Kay recalled as she sat in the living room of the Victorian San Francisco home she has owned for many years. “And then when I went up there in ’66 I met him for the first time. He was, I felt, very insignificant looking and very weak looking. He never at any time tried to talk with me; I was completely ignored by him. Soon afterward Mel wrote his first book, a rambling, abstract, 80-page riddle called Autobiography of a World Savior, based loosely on the Superman-Krypton plot (“Long long ago in another dimension on another planet I volunteered for an assignment the nature of which I knew little . . .”). Some people, including rock writer Paul Williams, have made their Decision for Mel based on that book alone, even though Mel later described it as a private, tongue-in-cheek joke written for some Scientologist friends of his.
Why, then, the move to Roxbury? For some time Mel had been hanging out with the film freak crowd at Max’s Kansas City, in much the same way he had hung out with Bruce Conner and the others at Leary’s place; in fact, he briefly went with Vivian Kurz, one of Warhol’s lovelies, and Jonas Mekas helped publish his Autobiography. Mel, therefore, was getting itchy to create. He was developing certain theories, some his own, about music and art, and he needed room to work. http://lammerkowski.com/readability/lyman1.html
In the living room there were red velvet chairs and long-stemmed roses in a vase. A violin hung on the wall. Logs were crackling and popping in the fireplace. Wearing a white dress that emphasized her tan, Jessie Benton entered and firmly shook my hand. As we all sat down, I asked the group for a history of the Lyman community. When had it begun? “It started long before this earth was made,” said a blonde woman. “We are a race,” she said. “A race – like a race of people . . . We’ve always been together. We’re gathered here on earth. And we were somehow – in one way or another – drawn to the same place at the same time. That was in Boston – years and years ago.” Exactly how many years ago? “Nineteen sixty-six,” said Jessie Benton solidly from her chair by the wall. She is the daughter of artist Thomas Hart Benton. Someone remarked that the spreading of Mel Lyman’s communities to different cities was “protective.” When I inquired why there was any need to protect, a mild flurry of cryptic discussion took place among my hosts, then it dissolved quickly into what looked like agreement as they began to nod their heads. A young man said, “Y’know, maybe Melvin can talk to him.” This was the supreme honor. In came a young woman with long brown hair, held back from her face by a gold headband. Her blue dress was a gossamer and a star was at her throat. She knelt on the carpet before a rainbow colored ouija board which rested on a white pedestal. The ouija board was to be my hotline to Mel Lyman, and the gossamer-gowned lady in blue was to be my interpreter. Jessie Benton leaned over beside me, “These answers you should probably write down.” The gossamer-gowned medium opened her eyes. “Melvin is here.”

Lindsay Graham is a Liar and Hypocrite. Why has he changed his tune about Trump? There are two answers, he knows there is a good chance Trump will be impeached, and thus his party will be utterly destroyed, or, he wants Donald to lead a Holy Crusade. Why not both?
Reese Witherspoon and her kindred are illustrious pioneers of South Carolina. Will she and Oprah go after Graham who now supports the ‘Lying Pussy Grabber’? Are politicians immune?
I saved Dottie Witherspoon, and her roommate, twice. I am a Savior of Women, not a abuser of women.
After posting on Rosemary I found an article on the Blood Relic of Saint Francis alas arriving in Israel. I suspect this is a holy message to the right-wing Zionists, not to take away the claims Christians have to the Holy Land.
Every member of my family – has an ongoing calling. This is rare. Rosemary resisted her calling and everything went badly for her. She has a vision when I was born, and gave me to her mother, Mary Magdalene Rosamond. when I was seven. She had married an atheist. There is not a religious bone in Victor’s body. Why did Rosemary and the artist, Rosamond, make Vic their partner? They wanted what I was born with….a superior light that allows me to see the future. This light can be used to boost your sexiness. Rosemary and others, chose this way.
The Path to Enlightenment is set in this dramatic energy, where Delilah tricks Samson into forsaking his Nazarite Vow, and Salome dances for the head of John the Baptist. These men are Nazarites, There are arousals and erections. Rosemary made porn movies for the Mob that I took to court. I won. Dottie Witherspoon took the pic of me up a tree in Boston with her cat. Rosemary took this photo, and got Dottie in the bathroom, crying, after she insulted her Scott freckles. She is a direct descendant of Signer, John Witherspoon.
I almost spent Thanksgiving alone. I moved Drew Benton’s ashes into the living room, so we can eat together, You can see the black box under the light with a crystal on top. I have trouble believing Drew abandoned her two cats. I found five messages from her fifty days after her death, where she says she might have psychic powers. She has……the calling! The task of getting Drew cremated coincides with the problem of getting the Blood Relic to the Holy Land. This is……a foot in the door! I have Knight Templars….waiting in the wing! I will post on the observances of this relic – and go live!
For those who have no belief, I give you the wonderment if Rosemary Rosamond, is Melusine?

Relic of St Francis brought to Holy Land to invoke peace
Sep 30th, 2024
Source: Fides/Custos of the Holy Land
A relic of St Francis of Assisi was brought to the Holy Land today for the beginning of a pilgrimage to pray for peace.
St Francis and his companion Illuminatus made the long journey to Egypt during the Fifth Crusade in 1219. They were welcomed by the Sultan Al-Malik al-Kamil, the Muslim leader of Palestine, Syria and Egypt. Francis was shocked by the treatment of Muslims and Jews during the Crusades. The Sultan allowed him to preach to the Muslims. The Franciscans have maintained a presence in the Holy Land since that time, safeguarding Christian sites and supporting local people.
Brother Matteo Brena, Commissioner of the Holy Land of the Friars Minor of Tuscany said: “After 800 years, we bring Saint Francis back to the Holy Land to try to be, like him, able to cross borders in a wounded place, just as, eight centuries ago, the Poverello went on a pilgrimage to the holy places in an equally difficult time, marked by the Crusades, with the desire to build bridges and not walls.”
Brother Matteo, who is also coordinator of the Committee for the 800th anniversary of the stigmata of St Francis, is on a pilgrimage to the desperately troubled Holy Land, from September 30 to October 5, together with 10 other people, brothers and lay people. They are carrying the bloodstained habit of St Francis of Assisi.
Br Matteo said: “We set out with a great desire in our hearts: to be that “little remnant” that knows how to be the bearer, in this new dramatic situation for the Middle East, of a sign of consolation and a word of hope. From the wounds, a new life” was the motto of the eighth centenary of the stigmata of St Francis; and we, by bringing to Jerusalem and Bethlehem the relic of his blood, which flowed from the signs of the passion on his body, try to tell those brothers and sisters that it is possible to inhabit the wounds with hope and with a desire for the future.”
The delegation, made up of four brothers and six lay people, including representatives of the Franciscan Youth and the Secular Franciscan Order, will travel between Jerusalem and Bethlehem to bring the relic to the Christian communities of the area, meeting the local population and visiting some of the symbolic places of the commitment of Christians to pacify the land where Jesus lived.
One of the highlights of the trip will take place on October 2: the twinning between the Basilica of Gethsemane, a place that preserves the memory of the dramatic hours of Christ’s passion, and the Sanctuary of La Verna will be sanctioned. The twinning will also sanction the link between the two hermitages. The ceremony will take place in the presence of Fra’ Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy Land, and Fra’ Livio Crisci, Provincial Minister of the Friars Minor of Tuscany.
Brother Matteo said: “the Basilica of Gethsemane is one hundred years old since its construction in 1924, together with the Basilica of the Transfiguration, by the Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi, who died in 1960 in Rome in the convent of the Delegation of the Holy Land. We will therefore also participate in the initiatives of this centenary.”
“United in prayer, let us accompany our brothers on the pilgrimage between Jerusalem and Bethlehem,” say the Franciscan Fraternities throughout Italy.
800 years ago, in September 1224, Francis of Assisi received the Stigmata on the mountain of La Verna, near Arezzo. On that occasion, the brother conformed to the crucified Christ and a part of his habit, soaked in the blood of his side, became an important relic, a perpetual testimony of that event, preserved by the Friars Minor.
It is very disturbing to know millions of Christians are backing Liars. God is The Truth. I can, and will, testify to this. There needs to be a Religious Panel of Truth made up of twelve denominations of Christianity, who will examine matters of importance to our democracy, and rule on who told lies. I use Jesus Judging the Sotah as a precedence. The first Rule of St. Francis was deliberately lost – by liars! This order was used in the Inquisition. I will speak of this Rule and give The Word! I will prove that Jesus was a valid candidate for the King of the Jews, and was not the offspring of The One God. You can not have – TWO GODS!
At that moment the universities were growing and the translation of Aristotle into Latin was challenging Christian scholars. The mendicants took up the challenge with gusto, and by the end of the thirteenth century most of the lead the scholars in the major universities were either Dominicans or Franciscans.
At that moment the church was engaged in an all-out assault on heresy. In fact, it had created a new institution to deal with it, the inquisition. The mendicants were widely used as inquisitors, and by the turn of the fourteenth century most inquisitors were either Franciscans or Dominicans.
A religious order is based on a rule. The first rule of the Franciscan order, submitted to the pope in 1209, has long since disappeared from history. It was the rule of 1223, the third produced by Francis, which became the definitive one. It is still in use today. I. In the name of the Lord, the life of the lesser brothers begins.
January 6: How the House select committee finally exposed Trump’s empire of lies (msn.com)
In 1523, the Franciscan Friars arrived in the Americas to evangelize the indigenous peoples of the Spanish Empire. They would be followed by Dominicans, Augustinians, and Jesuits. As Spanish colonial society grew in central New Spain, the Friars’ efforts focused on the northern and southern frontiers. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, after 300 years working in the Americas, the Friars founded the 21 Missions of Alta California.
The Catholic church has been utterly corrupted by Attorney General, William Barr, and President Trump – who holds up a upside-down Bible in front of a Catholic church. Did Barr suggest he do this in order to give Opus Dai and the radical Catholics a MESSAGE, that once again, the Catholic Church launces a crusade against un-believers.
Meher Baba forbid his followers to form a religion around his teaching, but, he said nothing about Saint Francis. Below the photograph with CAUTION you see a cave in the distance. A year after I conversed with Jesus I wrote my novel ‘Where Art Thou?” while sitting before this cave – at my computer screen – and saw The Tree of Life at the back of this cave.
Here lies the hoarded love the key To All the treasure that shall be Come fated heart the gift to take And smite the sleeping world awake.”
Here is a video that contains a photo of Mother Mary Dominica Wieneke, Major Superior of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Dubuque. Her cousin, Mary Magdalene Wieneke-Rosamond, was my grandmother, the mother of Rosemary Rosamond.
Above is an amazing photo of the groundbreaking ceremony for Briar Cliff College that is located on the Missouri River overlooking the states of South Dakota and Nebraska. I might do a painting of this scene because more than likely there are more than twenty of my kindred in it. My grandmother Mary is above in white.
Look at those beautiful children who want their shot at life even though they know they are crippled. They are filled with hope. How can anyone who claims they are a Christian, talk about taking away hope from any child who suffers?

In March 1929, Mother Mary Dominica Wieneke, Major Superior of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Dubuque, along with the Most Rev. Edmond Heelan, Bishop of the Sioux City Diocese, co-founded Briar Cliff College after meeting with members of the Sioux City community, who committed to raising $25,000 to support the establishment of a Catholic women’s college in Sioux City. The twelve foundresses of the College were carefully chosen by Mother Dominica. They were led by Sister Mary Servatius Greenen, who was named the first president.[2]
Congregation with Motherhouse at St. Francis’s Convent, Dubuque, Iowa.

Sisters, 399; novices, 34; postulants, 20; orphan asylums, 2; industrial school, 1; academy, 1; home for aged, 1; schools, 43; pupils, 6829.
The Diocese of Sioux City was inducted into Briar Cliff University’s Mother Dominica Society this past weekend. The induction took place during the Alumni Awards Dinner at the St. Francis Center at the university. The Mother Dominica Society is a group that recognizes the top lifetime benefactors of Briar Cliff University. The society is named for the founder of Briar Cliff University, Mother Mary Dominica Wieneke. Receiving the award on behalf of the diocese was Bishop R. Walker Nickless. Briar Cliff University’s president, Bev Wharton, presented the award. Bishop Nickless was pleased to recognize the connection of the diocese and the university. “It’s a wonderful chance for us to be noticed, what the connection between the diocese and the university is all about,” said Bishop Nickless. “Bishop Heelan, the first bishop of the Diocese of Sioux City, graciously gave the land for which the university was built. So, since the first day, there has been a connection between Briar Cliff and the diocese.”
Location Briar Cliff University is located at the edge of urban development, yet it is just minutes from Downtown Sioux City (population 80,000). Located where Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota meet, Sioux City is connected with other metro areas by Interstate Highway 29 and is about an hour away by air from Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis and Denver.
In March 1929, Mother Mary Dominica Wieneke, Major Superior of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Dubuque, along with the Most Rev. Edmond Heelan, Bishop of the Sioux City Diocese, co-founded Briar Cliff College after meeting with members of the Sioux City community, who committed to ar program was extended to four years. Fifty-five men were admitted to Briar Cliff in 1965 and co-education was formalized in 1966 with the admission of 150 full-time male students. Our congregation originated in Herford, Germany where the plight of many homeless and hungry children touched the heart of the young woman we know as our foundress, Mother Xavier Termehr. Soon other young women asked to join her in this work of compassion and our congregation was born in November 1864. From its beginning, the congregation has been committed to serving human needs and are not limited to one apostolate. The sisters cared for the orphans at Haus Bethlehem and also nursed the elderly in their homes. A destitute elderly couple was cared for in the orphanage until their death.
When the call came for nurses on the battlefields of the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars the sisters responded, earning the Iron Cross from Empress Augusta and Emperor Wilhelm in 1872 for their service. Two sisters died of infection while nursing the soldiers. Political changes resulted in the passage of laws in 1875 which called for religious communities to either disband or go into exile unless they were strictly nursing orders. The entire community of 18 professed sisters, seven novices and four postulants chose exile. But where to go? A nephew of the elderly couple mentioned above, a pastor in Iowa City, had visited the sisters to express his gratitude for their kindness. On learning of their choice to emigrate he offered them refuge in Iowa City. On September 8, 1875 they arrived in their new home. In Iowa City the sisters opened the first Catholic orphanage in the state and nursed the sick, much as they had in Herford. A new apostolate opened for them as they were requested to take charge of parochial schools. Within a year of their arrival in Iowa, the congregation began to accept postulants. Archbishop Hennessy of Dubuque, Iowa requested that the congregation move to Dubuque to open and staff an orphanage in that city. They arrived in Dubuque in December 1878, lodging at first in an abandoned stone church. The orphanage opened in fall of the next year. (The sisters staffed it until it closed in 1968.) As in Iowa City, the sisters were also called upon to staff and often to establish Catholic schools. New apostolates were added as the years progressed including the domestic department of the local seminary, a home for the aged, a second orphanage (in Sioux City, IA), a home for working girls in Dubuque, hospitals, the only Catholic college (now University) in the Sioux City, IA diocese and a mission in China. Our commitment to community and ministry among those in need is still vibrant. We have ministered in Chile, Guatemala, and El Salvador, in Tanzania and Zimbabwe and currently in Honduras and the island of St. Lucia. With fewer sisters in classroom teaching, we also educate though ESL classes and after-school tutoring programs. We are pastoral associates, chaplains, spiritual directors and social workers, workers in health care and alternate health therapies, and volunteers in many organizations. We partner with other religious congregations and civic organizations to respond to those whose needs are greatest in this country and abroad. Though we speak a different language and dress in different attire from that of Mother Xavier and the founding sisters, we are truly their daughters in faith and in commitment. Our strength, our hope and our joy flow from our commitment to prayer, to each other, and to the people God calls us to serve in love. We believe the words of Mother Xavier “God is with us still.” http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ia/county/linn/news/wienfamreunion.htm
Dottie Witherspoon almost became Christine’s sister-in-law. She may have fathered my child the Seers said I had. They saw two faint leaves on my rose. A year later, my sixteen year old daghter appear in my life for the first time.
I fought with real witches on Beacon Hill, the same time I took the Mafia to court – and won! I saved Dottie from a guy who said he was a Warlock. I encouraged Dottie to stay away from drugs as I did most folks I befriended after my terrible fall on the rocks at MacLure’s Beach in 1967. Dottie descends from the Signer, John Witherspoon, and it looks like I descend from the Signer, John Hart. The Witherspoons are in the famous Preston genealogy, as is Jessie and John Fremont who founded the Republican Party. I discovered the Prestons are close kin to the Stewart family, and thus, William and Harry. I discovered the Hart family are kin to Princess Diana.
You can not BUY this family history. Many rich and conservative Americans would kill to own this history, be of this blood. But, what bounds this blood in true Democracy, is my kindred who made the simple headstone you see above. These rosy folks descend from Samuel Rosamond who was a captain in the War of Independence, and fought under Francis Marion in South Carolina. So did John Witherspoon. This is why both families named family members after Francis Marion. There is a Francis Marion Witherspoon, and a Francis Marion Rosamond.
It is fitting that I a very poor descendant of James Rosamond, who also fought alongside his brother and Marion, compile this family history, gather my ancestors together, so……..We can soar like eagles! Our wings are not made of money! They are made of courage!
We Americans have got to stop demonizing each other, and stop believing our great wealth gets us closer to God, and in turn He gives us special privileges. If a mere rock can suffice these Patriots for a headstone, then, anything is possible if we put our minds to it! Here is the proof! These humble roses help found our Democracy!
Wake up! The whole world is beholding our dream, our work to establish Social Good for all of humanity. We have just begun! Our days of experimenting, are over. We have grown up!
