"Earth, the only planet with free choice in the Milky Way Galaxy"

“.. A billion years ago, they (Pleiadians) went through a change and they went through a shift, and they had free choice. Back then, they were the only planet that did in their time, and eventually they went through a metamorphosis of consciousness. ”

“.. So again, we tell you that the ones who came to help seed you approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Earth years ago were the Pleiadians who had gone into graduate status and who had changed consciousness. They had become quantum with free choice, and you have parts of their DNA within you. ..”

“..You're surrounded by divine beings who keep you safe and will continue while this planet of only free choice – the only one at the moment – makes its decision. You're turning the corner of consciousness and they all know it, for they've all been through it and they remember it. Oh dear ones, consciousness is volatile! You've seen it change so slowly, but it's about to change faster. It's not going to take generations and generations as in the past. Instead, you're going to see real-time changes. Humans won't wait to have children for them to grow up and have children. ..”

“.. In time, the quantum factor will be discovered on this planet. When it is, it will be highly controversial, and it's going to fly in the face of logic and 3D and the way things work via the scientific method. The ramp-up to all this is difficult. The old souls in front of me have signed on to work this new energy and they've waded through lifetimes, just waiting for this. What would you do as a scientist if the experiments before you had "a mind of their own"? What would you think if magnetics, gravity and light could only be assembled in a certain way that created healing and never a destructive alignment? All this is going to redefine some of the basic forces in the Universe. Intelligent design is only the first, and even today many astronomers and physicists still think it's an anomaly. 

That will be the next largest discovery on the planet. It's been held back from you because it takes a higher vibrating consciousness to create and understand it. When any planet discovers a quantum energy and is able to use it, you could go to that planet and know that you will meet high-consciousness entities. This has never been given to you before that, for within the quantum factor contains the secret of interplanetary travel using large, entangled states. There are ways of doing things you never thought could happen. You can throw away your rocket ships. You're on the edge of that.  ..”

“… And so, dear Human Being, you have the ability to start to return to an energy that you thought you'd lost, where Human beings are allowed to live longer and it doesn't destroy the environment. They don't overcrowd themselves because they can control it through their minds instead of laws... and through wisdom.

Some day you'll meet the star seeds, your Pleiadian sisters and brothers. They're even here now, since they are quantum. You've got Pleiadian ancestors who live a very, very long time in a graduate situation in a planet that went through the test just like yours. And it developed a quantum factor. They have benevolence and they have quantum energy. That's how they get here instantly and return, and they'll never interrupt your free choice. That's also why they don't land and say hello. Instead, they sit and cheer on the sidelines for what you've finally done. They are waiting with you to celebrate the December solstice of 2012... the half way point of the 36 year shift you are in. …”

Pope in 'tectonic' shake-up of Vatican bureaucracy

Yahoo – AFP, Ella IDE, March 19, 2022 

Francis, 85, put together a group of cardinals to advise
him on how to enact reforms (AFP/Tiziana FABI) (Tiziana FABI)

Pope Francis on Saturday followed through on a promise made ahead of his 2013 election and published a much-anticipated shake-up of the Vatican's powerful governing body. 

The new constitution, which comes into effect on June 5, restructures parts of the unruly Roman Curia, and makes increasing the world's 1.2 billion Catholics the church's number one priority. 

Among the most significant changes are the possibility for lay and female Catholics to head up Vatican departments, and the incorporation of the pope's sex abuse advisory commission into the Curia. 

"Pope Francis has been working on a new organizational structure for the Vatican for nine years. It's a major aspect of his legacy," Joshua McElwee from the National Catholic Reporter said on Twitter. 

'Tectonic shift' 

Cardinals gathered for the conclave to elect a new pope in 2013 were divided between those who believed there were deep-rooted problems in the Curia and those who wanted to preserve the status quo. 

Ex-pope Benedict XVI, who had just resigned, was reported to have tried and failed to clean up a body some even blamed for preventing the church from properly tackling the child sex abuse scandal. 

Francis, 85, put together a group of cardinals to advise him over the years on how to reform the Curia, and has already enacted many changes as he moves to modernise the centuries-old institution. 

The 54-page text entitled "Proclaiming the Gospel", which replaces a constitution drawn up by pope John Paul II in 1988, creates a new department for evangelisation, to be headed up by Francis himself. 

Making himself "Chief Evangelizer" encapsulates a "tectonic shift to a more pastoral, missionary church," David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, said on Twitter. 

In that vein, Francis says every baptised Christian is a missionary. 

"One cannot fail to take this into account in the updating of the Curia, whose reform must provide for involvement of laymen and women, even in roles of government and responsibility," he said. 

'Significant' 

The constitution, released on the ninth anniversary of the inauguration of Francis' papacy, makes the pope's charity czar, currently Polish Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, head of a department in its own right. 

It also brings the Vatican's Commission for the Protection of Minors -- a papal advisory body -- into the office which oversees the canonical investigations of clerical sex abuse cases. 

In doing so, the pope is "effectively establishing the Vatican's first safeguarding office", the Tablet's journalist Christopher Lamb said. 

Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who heads the Commission, said it was a "significant move forward", which would give institutional weight to the fight against a scourge which has plagued the church globally. 

But Marie Collins, an Irish survivor of clerical abuse who served on the commission before resigning in outrage in 2017 over the church's handling of the crisis, slammed it instead as a clear step back. 

"The Commission has now officially lost even a semblance of independence," she said on Twitter.

“ … Spirituality (Religions)

Number one: Spirituality. The systems of spiritual design on your planet are starting to change. This is not telling you that certain ones are going to go away. They're simply going to change. Some of the largest spiritual systems, which you would call organized religion on the planet, are shifting. They're going to shift away from that which is authority on the outside to authority on the inside. It will eventually be a different way of worship, slowly changing the rules while keeping the basic doctrine the same.

The doctrine of the Christ has always been to find the God inside. The teachings were clear. The examples of the miracles were given as an example of what humans could do, not to set a man up for worship as a God. So when that has been absorbed, the teaching of the Christ can remain the teaching of the Christ. It simply changes the interpretation. 

The teachings of the great prophets of the Middle East (all related to each other) are about unity and love. So once the holy words are redefined with new wisdom, the Human changes, not the words of the prophets. In fact, the prophets become even more divinely inspired and their wisdom becomes even more profound.

You're going to lose a pope soon. I have no clock. Soon to us can mean anything to you. The one who replaces him may surprise you, for his particular organization will be in survival mode at that point in time. That is to say that fewer and fewer are interested in starting the priesthood. Fewer and fewer young people are interested in the organization, and the new pope must make changes to keep his church alive. That means that his organization will remain, but with a more modern look at what truly is before all of you in a new energy. It is not the fall of the church. It is instead the recalibration of the divinity inside that would match the worship that goes on. It's a win-win situation. The new pope will have a difficult time, since the old guard will still be there. There could even be an assassination attempt, such is the way the old energy dies hard. That is number one. Watch for it. It's a change in the way spiritual systems work. It's a realignment of spiritual systems that resound to a stronger truth that is Human driven, rather than prophet driven.…”



“… With free choice, the percentage of DNA efficiently started to go down as humanity grew. As soon as the DNA started to lose percentage, the gender balance was dysfunctional. If you want to have a test of any society, anywhere on the planet, and you want to know the DNA percentage number [consciousness quota] as a society, there's an easy test: How do they perceive and treat their women? The higher the DNA functionality, the more the feminine divine is honored. This is the test! Different cultures create different DNA consciousness, even at the same time on the planet. So you can have a culture on Earth at 25 percent and one at 37 - and if you did, they would indeed clash. …”

“… You're at 35. There's an equality here, you're starting to see the dark and light, and it's changing everything. You take a look at history and you've come a long way, but it took a long time to get here. Dear ones, we've seen this process before and the snowball is rolling. There isn't anything in the way that's going to stop it. In the path of this snowball of higher consciousness are all kinds of things that will be run over and perish. Part of this is what you call "the establishment". Watch for some very big established things to fall over! The snowball will simply knock them down. …”

Pope says Church can no longer tolerate silence on abuse

Yahoo – AFP, October 6, 2018

Vatican City (AFP) - Pope Francis said Saturday that silence on sexual abuse can "no longer be tolerated" as he ordered an investigation into Vatican archives concerning former archbishop of Washington Theodore McCarrick, who resigned in July.

"Both abuse and its cover-up can no longer be tolerated," said Francis in a Vatican statement in which he declared the Church had to tackle "the grave scourge of abuse within and beyond" the institution.

The case of McCarrick triggered a storm in August after Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former Vatican envoy to Washington, dropped a bombshell letter accusing the pope of ignoring allegations about the prominent US cardinal, one of the most senior Catholic leaders to face abuse allegations.

Following Vigano's letter, US groups representing survivors of sexual abuse by Catholic priests urged the Vatican to publish a list of clerics accused of sexual assault.

Saturday's Vatican statement said Francis was "aware of and concerned by the confusion that these accusations are causing in the conscience of the faithful."

The statement added: "Both abuse and its cover-up can no longer be tolerated" and said the Church had a duty "to prevent such crimes from being committed in the future to the harm of the most innocent and most vulnerable in society".

The statement also underlined that Francis had in an August letter to Catholics stated that "the only way that we have to respond to this evil that has darkened so many lives is to experience it as a task regarding all of us as the People of God.

"This awareness of being part of a people and a shared history will enable us to acknowledge our past sins and mistakes with a penitential openness that can allow us to be renewed from within," said the statement.

Regarding McCarrick, the Vatican said Francis "has decided that information gathered during the preliminary investigation be combined with a further thorough study of the entire documentation present in the Archives of the Dicasteries and Offices of the Holy See ... to ascertain all the relevant facts, to place them in their historical context and to evaluate them objectively."

The Vatican concluded the Holy See recognised "it may emerge that choices were taken that would not be consonant with a contemporary approach to such issues" but that, as Francis said in 2015, "we will follow the path of truth wherever it may lead."

Sex abuse claims rock Dutch Catholic Church

Yahoo – AFP, 15 September 2018

People in Australia, Europe, and North and South America have charged they
were sexually abused by clergymen and lay people

More than half of the Netherlands' senior clerics were involved in covering up sexual assault of children between 1945 and 2010, a press report claimed Saturday, further engulfing the Catholic Church in a global abuse scandal.

Over the course of 65 years, 20 of 39 Dutch cardinals, bishops and their auxiliaries "covered up sexual abuse, allowing the perpetrators to cause many more victims", the daily NRC reported.

"Four abused children and 16 others allowed the transfer of paedophile priests who could have caused new victims in other parishes," the Dutch newspaper added.

Church spokeswoman Daphne van Roosendaal told AFP the church could "confirm a part" of the report.

Other elements were based on anonymous information provided by a victims' assistance unit set up by the church.

"The names of several bishops correspond to those named in a report commissioned by the Church in 2010," the spokeswoman said.

Most of the accused clerics have since died, and the statute of limitations has expired in all cases, she added. Those still alive declined to comment, NRC said.

Meanwhile in France, a priest has been charged with sexually abusing four brothers, now aged from three to 17, his lawyer said Saturday.

The family brought the complaint against the 64-year-old priest, whose parish is in the central Cantal region. All four boys were said to be in the church choir.

The lawyer, Komine Bocoum, did not say when the alleged offences were said to have taken place.

Local bishop Bruno Grua said Saturday the his diocese was "shocked by these unspeakable acts".

They are the latest in a slew of assault allegations against the Catholic Church spanning several continents.

People in Australia, Europe, and North and South America have charged they were sexually abused by clergymen and lay people, in what German Archbishop Georg Gaenswein has called the Church's "own 9/11".

In August, Pope Francis declined to comment on a claim that he ignored sexual abuse allegations against a senior clergyman in the United States.

On Wednesday, the German Catholic Church said it was it was "dismayed and ashamed" by decades of child sex abuse by priests.

Pressure mounts on pope for tougher action on abuse scandals

Yahoo – AFP, Catherine MARCIANO, August 22, 2018

 to protect children, but admitted that the Church had "delayed" in applying
the necessary sanctions (AFP Photo/Vincenzo PINTO)

Vatican City (AFP) - With the Catholic Church rocked by a devastating US report into child sex abuse, Pope Francis has this week sharpened his criticism on the explosive issue -- but he remains under pressure to enact far-reaching changes.

The US grand jury report accused more than 300 "predator" priests in the state of Pennsylvania of abusing more than 1,000 children over seven decades, sparking a fresh bout of soul-searching among senior Catholics across the world.

"The clock is ticking for all of us in Church leadership. Catholics have lost patience with us and civil society has lost confidence in us," Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston, who has been advising the pope on the issue, said in a statement last week.

The archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, added: "It is not enough just to say sorry. Structures that permit or facilitate abuse must be broken down and broken down forever.

"Why does this not happen? Why must such a simple affirmation have to be repeated so often?" he said at a weekend mass in the Irish capital.

Martin, who will welcome the pope this weekend on his visit to Ireland -- a country where abuse scandals have dealt profound blows to the Church's credibility -- said he believes the Vatican's commission is too small to be effective.

Amid harrowing details of abuse, the US report directs this scathing comment to the Church hierarchy: "Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades."

The report once again puts the spotlight on Pope Francis, who has been criticised for not acting quickly enough to clamp down on the sprawling cases of abuse as well as for a reluctance to distance himself from certain cardinals suspected of omerta.

"With shame and repentance, we acknowledge as an ecclesial community that we were not where we should have been, that we did not act in a timely manner, realising the magnitude and the gravity of the damage done to so many lives. We showed no care for the little ones," the pontiff said in his letter earlier this week.

At the end of May, the Argentinian pope wrote a letter to the people of Chile, where an unfolding abuse scandal has sparked an impassioned debate.

This week in an unprecedented letter he addressed all of the globe's 1.3 billion Catholics about the "atrocities" of abuse.

'Excuses aren't enough'

While Francis acknowledged the work being done in some parts of the world to protect children, he admitted that the Church had "delayed" in applying the necessary sanctions.

The pope "did not, however, offer any new specifics" on possible new accountability measures, said American Vatican-watcher John Allen, noting that Francis did not make a single mention of the word "bishop".

"Among great swathes of public opinion, the idea is beginning to gain traction that mea culpas, statements and meetings with victims are not enough any more," according to Marco Politi, an Italian Vatican expert.

"It is now up to Francis to act as supreme legislator" by modifying the Church's canon law, Politi wrote in the Fatto Quotidiano newspaper.

He added that there were already "virtuous examples" in this area in the United States, Britain and Germany.

Journalist Emiliano Fittipaldi, who has carried out several investigations into the workings of the Church, told AFP that Francis could go further.

"The pope could force bishops' conferences to send recent reports of abuse to judicial authorities," he said. "Excuses aren't enough any more."

That is a sentiment echoed by many abuse victims.

"We don't want a trial within the Vatican!" said Francesco Zanardi, leader of an Italian abuse survivors' association.

According to Vatican-focused blog "Il Sismografo," the pope could soon publish specific guidelines for bishops on how to handle abuse claims -- but the Vatican has not confirmed this.

In 2016, Francis instigated a change in canon law which meant bishops could be removed if they were found to be "negligent" in the face of reports of paedophilia.

However, within Church law there is no wider requirement to report cases to the relevant judicial authorities. In certain countries this is a legal obligation but in others, bishops are loath to make it a rule.

Some commentators are also urging the Church to use its response to the crisis to undertake a reconsideration of its stance on celibacy.

In an opinion article published this week in French newspaper Le Monde, French-Canadian writer Nancy Huston appealed to the pontiff to abolish celibacy for priests and recognise the importance of sexuality for human well-being.

But even though Pope Francis said in 2014 that "celibacy is not a dogma", the Vatican does not yet seem ready to take the step of ending the practice.

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, Juli 2, 2014)

Matthew Ward - July 2, 2014

Matthew Ward
With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Many who cited situations in the Mideast, Ukraine, Hong Kong, and some countries in Africa, eastern Europe and Latin America expressed concerns similar to this excerpt from one reader’s email: So where is all of this new light and energy that is supposed to be hitting the earth and changing everything? I just find things getting worse and worse.

The light is changing everything that isn’t serving the best interests of Earth and her light-receptive residents, and what appears to be “getting worse and worse” is many generations of conflicting ideologies at boiling point. Everyone is being affected positively or negatively by the ever-increasing light and everything going on within individuals, which is what determines their reactions to happenings, is the natural result of heightened vibrations. As light continues to pour in and lightworkers on the planet keep generating more, gradually the boil will ebb to a simmer and ultimately to “still waters.”

At this stage of global activity, however, there is tumultuous disagreement, and worries abound about what next will be reported on the “news.” Your world is awash in information, but the majority of the populace has no idea whatsoever about pre-birth agreements and soul contracts, the dark and light forces, the purpose of karma and multiple lifetimes, or the importance of balance. They don’t know that their ancestors are from other civilizations; massive assistance is being given by extraterrestrials; or wild storms, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are Earth’s ways of ridding herself of negativity. They don’t know that she has been on an ascension course for more than seven decades or that the speed and scope of planetary changes are unprecedented in this universe, and they know nothing about Earth’s Golden Age. You do know all of that and much more.

Please don’t think we expect you to remember everything we have said in 10 years of messages! We don’t, not by any means, but you are the beacons of encouragement, enthusiasm and confidence about your world’s future, and we urge you to please be mindful of the most cogent information we have offered. Science and spirit are one and the same—the love-light energy of Creator from which everything in this universe is created—and the following principles underlie all creations:

LOVE, which is the same energy as light and the essence of all souls, is the most powerful force in the cosmos. LOVE-LIGHT is the key to resolving all conflicts and feeling peace within! [June 2, 2014]

Love starts with self, with living so that loving self is as natural as breathing. Only then can you give and receive love. Love is contagious, unlimited, omnipresent. It is what changes bleakness of spirit into fullness of spirit, illness into health, lack into prosperity. It is the absence of love that breeds all the woes of your world, and it is filling the void with love that will cure the woes. This is not asking you to love what brings misery and deprivation and harm! It is asking you to simply feel love so you can send forth that energy—it will seek its way to the void. [excerpt from God’s message, July 4, 2013]

The energy momentum keeps strengthening the forcefulness of all thoughts and feelings, so we repeat our guidance to not think of needful conditions with a heavy heart; instead, envision Earth within golden-white light so this image and your desire for benevolent changes go out into the universe and return with additional light. [January 5, 2014]

Via the universal law of attraction that’s in perpetual operation, the low vibrations of negative feelings and thoughts are helping to continue what you want to end. [June 2, 2014]

Souls in desperate circumstances are experiencing what they chose to complete third density karmic lessons and evolve spiritually and consciously, and your society can rally as ONE to uplift the lives of those who are suffering. Your steadfastness in the light is undergirding the move toward that rally, and light beamed to Earth from other civilizations is aiding your endeavors to transform your world. [April 2, 2014]

Our overall guidance in every area where betterment is needed is, Know your godself and live your light! Knowing that love-light, the most powerful energy in the cosmos, is the “ingredient” of souls and the basis on which soul contracts are made is part of spiritual clarity, and expanding that clarity is the purpose of all physical lifetimes of every soul. The speed at which awareness is available and the scope of enlightenment being offered to your civilization at this time is unique in this universe. [June 11, 2011]

Beloved family, by living in accordance with these principles, these universal laws, you manifest what you want in your life, evolve spiritually and consciously, and speed your society’s pace in co-creating the grandness of Earth’s Golden Age.

This leads to our addressing the numerous queries that can be summed up thusly: How can this be the Golden Age with darkness still in control? Darkness is not in control, and again we refer to previously offered information because it is the case now as much as when originally stated:

First we say, everything going on in your world is in response to the ever-increasing vibrations, and along with evident progress, you are seeing the remnants of what naturally follows the departure of darkness. Free from that shroud of negativity, individuals no longer are acting under its ponderous influence, but rather in line with deeply-rooted religious, political or philosophical convictions, and occasionally from deranged mental functioning that is intensified by the prevailing vibrations. [June 2, 2014]

Divisiveness over the most serious issues affecting your society will continue until the light becomes so strong that extreme stances no longer can deter constructive steps toward peaceful resolution. Rational discussions underway and those that will begin may bog down from time to time, but overall they will gain momentum; and what you call “common sense,” which still is not common to all, eventually will emerge in situations that in this moment are static or volatile. [February3, 2014]

Millions are taking bold steps and bringing about positive change all the way from small communities to international movements. Expansion of the light that is permeating hearts and minds throughout the world CANNOT be stopped! Please do not think that only the ones in leadership positions are important—EVERY soul is essential, and simply by radiating your own light, each of you is contributing to the transformation of your world. [January 27, 2008]

The dawn of a new era in any civilization is imperceptible even to the comparatively few who may know about it. Yet, the civilization is responsible for manifesting the new era through the energy of focused thoughts and feelings. And, the positive part of prevailing vibrations is the growing awareness that something of great significance is afoot.A year ago there wasn’t even a thought in most minds that perhaps turmoil is a necessary prelude to a better world for all. Now, awakening souls—and millions are responding to this effect of vibratory levels—sense that possibly even grave-appearing situations may have good outcomes. As “may” evolves into “shall!” within collective thoughts and feelings, you will see more and more evidence in linear time of the Golden Age marvels that already you have co-created in the continuum.

Numerous readers have asked about their native countries and the questions start When will: corrupt or tyrannical leaders be replaced by individuals with moral and spiritual integrity; the economy improve; persecution of peaceful protestors end; fighting stop; refugees return home; desperate poverty be relieved? Dear ones, if we could tell you when, we would do so joyously. Activity on all of those fronts is rife in Earth’s energy field of potential, and because there are proponents and opponents in all of those situations, the energy streamers cannot proceed in straight lines. In this moment they are zigzagging all over as one side gains, then loses the lead as the other side gathers strength. The back-and-forth motion will come to an end when the energy of souls whose objectives are light-filled achieves unstoppable momentum toward a peaceful, kind and just world with abundance for all.

A reader asked us to explain the misogynistic attitude against women around the world at a time when the "female energy" rising. Is it rising? Yes, indeed it is rising, but let us start at the beginning. For millennia the low vibrations of masculine energy that dominated your world influenced men to feel superior to women and influenced women to accept their lower position. Although a few braved public opinion and railed against being barred from voting, higher education and professional careers, the others simply accepted the status to which society relegated them.

When the entry of feminine, or goddess, energy started diluting the masculine, it brought the longstanding gender imbalance to the forefront and attitudes about respective roles began to change. Women obtained university degrees, entered politics and other fields formerly the province of men, were promoted to management positions, became entrepreneurs, and successfully handled parenting and working. Men became much more involved in the rearing of children and some became stay-at-home-fathers. Yes, inequities still exist, such as greatly fewer numbers of woman than men influencing corporate and political decisions, salary and wage scales, church leadership, and birth control regulations; but as sufficient light reaches those and other discriminatory areas, they will be brought into balance.

In cultures where women are considered possessions, where the denial of rights is much more severe and deeply entrenched, change is coming much more slowly, and hereanother reader’s questions are pertinent: What of the extremist beliefs that are manifesting within Islam? What of the suppression of women in some Islamic societies and the endless rape of women in India? Are all these manifestations destined in the next decade or so to disappear?

Those actions being attributed to Islam are not tenets of that faith as originally inspired—rather, radical elements have been distorting the religion to justify personal convictions and actions that are based on what they’ve been taught to believe. Just as extremism in other religions will disappear as the light keeps intensifying, so it will be with Islam. Rape is the brutal act of weak men who need to prove to themselves that they are in control. Envisioning light surrounding your world will hasten the opening of minds and hearts so that cruel, unjust treatment of women and girls can cease.

A teacher in a high-poverty area has requested our ideas about how to present to the school district ways to better serve the needs of children who experience traumatic conditions in their homes and neighborhoods. There is no across-the-board way to meet those needs—each child is affected uniquely even when the sad results of impoverishment are similar. A wise and caring society pools its resources to provide its children with nurturing and other preparation they need to become responsible adults.

We are happy to offer the suggestion that the school principals meet with some parents and ask what services they feel will be most helpful. Based on that input and with the aid of selected teachers, the principals formulate a comprehensive plan that can include, for instance: tutoring in studies, child care facilities, part-time jobs for older students, lessons not available in schools, individual and group counseling, physical exams, dental services, rooms where family gatherings can be held, recreational facilities, veterinary care, transportation, tickets to special events, trips to museums and art galleries, provision of food and clothing, Big Brother and Big Sister activities, construction and repair services, vehicle maintenance, financial donations.

The principals present the final plan to the mayor and city council, civic associations, sports groups, churches, libraries, store owners, restaurants, bankers, artists and musicians, technicians, mechanics, police, communication specialists, attorneys, healthcare providers—all organizations and individuals who have the capabilities. There is no limit to what a community can do for their children in needful circumstances when genuine caring undergirds combined efforts!

We take no credit for that suggestion. Similar kinds of coordinated action are achieving heartwarming success in numerous localities, and the light sent forth by the people who give and those who receive is immeasurable.

Speaking as Matthew now, I could have given my mother the idea to send only to the teacher who requested it. I didn’t, dear ones, because you are the members of civic organizations, medical clinics, churches or councils; the shopkeepers, mechanics, truck and bus drivers, attorneys, artists, teachers, doctors, coaches, carpenters, cooks. You are the ones whose collective contributions will give your community’s children opportunities to reach their potential and become tomorrow’s responsible adults.

Every one of you is loved unconditionally and myriad light beings are with you every step along your pathway.
