Doing Good. Blundering Bad.

-

Team MCG is doing good. Very good.

In fact, they can sleep well these days as a preelectio­n survey in a big part of Mabalacat City shows that all of its members from Mayor Cris Garbo, Vice Mayor Geld Aquino and its 10 candidates for councilors are all shoo-ins for their gunned posts.

The survey, known to be coming from an independen­t source is said to have been commission­ed by the Powers that be of the province.

Recent news reports even carried the survey with Garbo enjoying a lofty 74 percent peg while his running mate at 64 percent. Call them Wonder Twins, Dynamic Duo, Simon and Garfunkel, Ernie and Bert. Joseph and Benjamin, et al, etc. They are the tandem to beat .

Their lead over rivals, in Kapampanga­n they say is like “pibarilan” (gunshot speed and distance) as the closest are 20 percent (Boking Morales) and 31 percent (Christian Halili), r espect i vel y.

While elections are still less than five months away, the lead seems insurmount­able. One must remember that in 2019, the lead of Garbo and Aquino were stratosphe­ric at 21,000 for each. That was even without the vaunted block voting of one religious group.

Without an iota of doubt, Mayor Garbo would win and so would Atty Geld. But they need to check the members of their team – how they behave in public (and private), how they speak and hos they position themselves.

I fancy not myself as a political analyst but I can tell when there is something wrong. Like when the left hand does not seem to know what the right hand is doing, like when there is sleeping with the enemy, like when somebody wakes up with fleas. All that can be spotted from miles away.

Both Mayor Garbo and Vice Mayor Aquino are like good shepherds. They tend to their flock well. But there are some feedbacks out there that I am pretty sure they have heard of.

Here are but some of the blunders I heard that some of the members of his team have unwittingl­y committed.

ASPIRANT 1 – I heard our candidate is doing well in surveys as a re-electionis­t councilor. In both their team’s and that of their opposing group’s research output. In fact, he is said to be topping the list of wannabes, has beens and even never bes.

Message from Jesus Christ on Jan. 23, 2005:

“My people, behold the signs for the days of great change are upon you. Woe to you foolish ones who do not believe I am Jesus your true Messiah. Woe to you foolish ones who do not believe I send these words of warning through My many messengers all around this world. I do not come to send these words for you to ignore for it is those who ignore My words that will perish.

“My people, in the blink of an eye you may be standing before Me. In the blink of an eye man will be brought to his knees. The oceans will no longer be calm and mountains will awaken, sending ash to cover this earth in darkness. The rings of fire will begin to culminate, My people. Do not be fooled by the signs for man will try and justify these events and yet, through all this destructio­n, this world is being purified. It is only through the just hand of My Father the life will be restored, the life of My little ones.

In the light of the recent volcanic eruptions worldwide, including the recent one off the coast of the Pacific island of Tonga that caused tsunamis in various nations, recall Jesus Christ’s message on FEb. 27, 2005:

“The seas are no longer calm, the rings of fire will soon culminate and many areas will disintegra­te like ashes in a fire… This time of calmness is soon to expire. Be on guard, be on guard for the battle is on and your trials and sufferings will multiply. It is through the breaking of the fifth Commandmen­t that this world will see a great chastiseme­nt… Be on guard for nations will soon rise up against one another that will send forth great disruption­s in your way of life. The mountains will awaken, even those that lie below the far depths of the sea.”

Even earlier were prophecies conveyed to a woman whose online photos do not convey typical “stampita” saintlines­s, as she looks quite like any ordinary American d r eam er.

But Servant of God Cora Evans (1904-March 30, 1957) is now being considered for canonizati­on. She used to live in the remote Boulder Creek in the Sta. Cruz mountains in California where she had encounters with Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother.

Cora mystically witnessed an episode in the earthly lives Jesus and His Blessed Mother Mary, sometime before His crucifixio­n. She said she witnessed Jesus seeking His mother’s consent for her to appear in many places on earth, apparently in our times, amid apostasy and consequent­ial evil that would stalk the Catholic Church.

As the angel Gabriel also obtained the Blessed Mother’s consent to be the Mother of God, so did the Son first obtain her consent to fulfill a task scheduled for our times.

So now, we have an explosion of Marian apparition­s especially in our days. The Mother of God even now allows herself to be photograph­ed and video’d.

Cora took note of the conversati­on between Jesus and the Blessed Mother in regard to her modern-day apparition­s. Jesus said: “In the generation­s of little faith you may participat­e as an active mother of the people by your personal appearance in apparition­s, through which you may warn them of their neglect of Me in the tabernacle.”

The Son asked for the consent of the Mother, saying: “However, before you take this active part, I must have your consent. That is as necessary now as when you gave your will that allowed Me to be born into the world. To many people you will truly be the Gate of Heaven, for you will point the way, through apparition­s, to the altar where I will live in silence and be imprisoned until the end of time.”

“Rather than allow some people the risk of being lost without some warning that they should make haste and return to My Love, it will be necessary for you to appear through the mystery of visions and reproach them for their little faith. The fear of the supernatur­al will always stir the human heart, whereas tradition and the written word may find its truths on the shelves of myth,” Jesus added.

Cora then said the Blessed Mother was given a vision of all her future appearance­s around the globe.

Cora noted the Blessed Mother seemed gasping for breath “as she watched the greatest apparition of all. The whole world seemed to be swallowed in the light of a golden vapor, which in no way bore any resemblanc­e to the glow of the earthly sun. It resembled in its mystery of light a huge monstrance tipped over earth to such degrees that the Host could be seen by everyone in the world.”

“The center of the imaginary monstrance appeared to be above the nations of China and India. This vapors, like bead-like fire, rained upon the earth from the center of the golden light,” Cora recalled.

“Millions of people saw that apparition, yet none were harmed or frightened,” she added.

Was it a vision of the Warning foretold by the Blessed Mother in Garabandal, Spain in the 1960’s?

Cora also wrote about a Golden Age of peace that would last hundreds of years but end with the overpoweri­ng “satanic powers of hell.” Now this prophecy seems to be well beyond our days, probably preceding the end of the world.

“During the last hour, the atheistic soldiers will delight in their search for the one last priest,” Evans said.

She claimed that Jesus told her that through the latest scientific inventions, the last priest would be found holding Mass in a cave.

This priest would then be martyred, paving for the world to celebrate.

Cora noted that the Blessed Mother said “yes” to her Son. “Mother Mary bowed before Jesus and kissed His Feet, whispering her willing consent to her future apparition­s according to His Will for the good of the human race,” she wrote.
