Happy CanaDa Day!
On New Year’s Eve 2008, I wrote to The Prime Minister with the vision I see for CanaDa, and I was pleased to receive this personal reply his 1st Day back on the job in the New Year of the Lord 2009.

On the occasion of CanaDa’s 144th Birthday, it is Time to share this vision I see as our National Destiny in the Future.

A MARI USQUE AD MARI was taken from the Psalms of David 72:8: ‘He shall have Dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth’ for we Canadians still struggling on The Plains of Abraham in The Dominion of CanaDa Today.

From St. John’s Newfoundland & St. John New Brunswick, to Quebec in the Spirit of John The Baptist, to Victoria, British Columbia, to Whitehorse in the Yukon and the True North, we have inherited a vast and rich land Blessed by God.

CanaDa is a very special place that has brought  people here from every Nation on earth to build a new representative model of Democracy and Freedom for the world together on The Plains of Abraham.

The world is at war with itself while the Old World Order is in rapid decline as the Prophets said it would be at the End of the Age.

We have a place where diverse cultures, languages and Faiths can live in relative Peace and Harmony as the Family of Man and Children of God.

I think Canadians from every Nation on Earth, including every Muslim I met
or worked with, embody most of the positive characteristics so many of you
have articulated here. I also think Canadians have a fate or destiny or
calling or whatever other similar word one could use. As I´ve stated in
other topics, the fact our National Unity struggle is rooted in the
Plains of Abraham, I see as a material representation of a Spiritual
reality that is not yet seen, realized and actualized.

Being the only Monarchy at the Top of the Americas in the New World, I see
as a material representation of the Spiritual reality of the
Kingdom of Christ the King, the example to the rest of the World as we enter the time of trial and tribulation.

The Canadian Coat of Arms A MARI USQUE AD MARE comes from a Psalm of David mentioned above & below. So far I have been alone believing this, and I can´t just snap my fingers and make it a reality. I view these material things we can see as Spiritual symbols and Signs of a special role God has in store for CanaDa.

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the
LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many
in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered,
O Lord GOD, you know.

Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O you dry
bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones;
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: And I
will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you
with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know
that I am the LORD.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And
when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin
covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to
the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up
upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel:
behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost:
WE ARE CUT OFF FOR OUR PARTS.

Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O my
people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.

And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my
people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in
you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land:
THEN shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, says
the LORD.

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Moreover, you son of man,
take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel
his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph,
the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall be come one in
your hand.

And when the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you
not show us what you mean by these? Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him,
even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one
in my hand. And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before
their eyes.

And say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of
Israel from among the heathen, where they be gone, and will gather them on
every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one
nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king
to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all: (CanaDa/Quebec)

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with
their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will
save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and
will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes,
and do them.

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant,
wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they,
and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant
David shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them,
and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle
also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be
my people.

And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my
sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 37

Dem Bones, Dry Bones or Dem Dry Bones is a well-known traditional spiritual song, used to teach basic anatomy to children, although its description is not anatomically correct. The melody was written by African-American author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938). Two versions of this traditional song are used widely, the second an abridgment of the first. The lyrics are based on Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the prophet visits the Valley of Dry Bones[1] and prophesies that they will become alive by God’s command. Wikipedia

Concerning the Old World Israel

Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Therefore say I to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.

Matthew 21:42-43

This means don´t just talk the talk, but walk the walk with the talk. Everything is possible with the Spirit of God.

Canada Cana Da

At the Marriage Feast at Cana, Jesus said to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he said to them, Draw out now, and bring it to the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not where it came from: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And said to him, Every man at the beginning does set out good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good wine until now.

John 2:7-10

The Best is yet to come!!!

 

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

THE PRAYER – CELINE DIONE & ANDREA BOCELLI

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

There are so many different visual presentations of this beautiful music and  melding of the sublime voices of Celine Dion of Quebec & Andrea Bocelli on Youtube.

Looking for the version that was the 1st video I uploaded online in 2009, I viewed many on Youtube and it was hard to choose just one for this post on the occasion of the National Day of Quebec celebrated in the name of  John the Baptist, the forerunner to Christ.

Most Quebecois and Canadians no longer practice the Faith.

Originally, I chose another version mainly because of a moving gif of a Dove featured in it, the Bird/Symbol of Peace that settled on Jesus when the Spirit of Christ entered him while being baptized by John in the Jordan River.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness did not understand it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world did not know him.
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1

SUNDAY, June 2, 2017, THE DAY AFTER CanaDa Day. I just found this other version of Celine and Andrea with different visuals, and significant differences in English words translated from Italian.

This is another video version of The Prayer with Celine and Josh Groban. The visuals and the melody of voices are also outstanding.

The Prayer is so inspiring to me, I have to include these other versions, also with beautiful visuals.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE – MOTHER TERESA & PRINCESS DIANA

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centred; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.

These words of Mother Teresa are words to live by. She saw the face of Christ in society’s rejects and ministered to Him.

She understood the Spirit of the letter in the Bible where at the end of it all, God separates the sheep from the goats, neither of whom recognized Him travelling Spiritually incognito among the People in all the Nations of this world. It’s a vision that transcends Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Atheism and Ignorance.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say to them on his right hand,

Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungry, and you gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and you took Me in:
Naked, and you clothed Me: I was sick, and you visited Me: I was in prison, and you came unto Me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see YOU  hungry, and fed YOU? or thirsty, and gave YOU drink?
When did we see YOU as a stranger, and took YOU in? or naked, and clothed YOU?
Or when did we see YOU sick, or in prison, and came to YOU?
And the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto ME.

Then shall he say to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see YOU hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to YOU?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to ME.

Matthew 25:32-46

Mother Teresa laboured in obscurity for many years in the patient love and service of Christ until God rewarded her by making her works manifest to the world, and lifting her up, so that in her final years others served her.

When Princess Diana died, for a week her whole life was caught up in a tsunami of media attention, revealing every detail of her life. There is no denying she was attractive, rich and glamorous.

I believe God called Mother Teresa home to Glory purposefully a week later as the media were still fawning over Diana´s life, repeating over and over again every tantalizing detail, because that´s what got the ratings. Mother Teresa did get some media attention for a day, and then the media went back to covering Diana. They did the whole thing over again on the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death with hardly a mention of Mother Teresa.

I believe God did this deliberately to show how superficial a place the world has become. This is not to suggest Princess Diana was superficial. The world knows with all the riches and glamor, she hungered for Love and Righteousness. Unselfishly, she used her exalted position to highlight many noble and worthwhile causes, but the people of the world idolized the glitz and glamor instead of taking up the causes she Championed.

This is more an indictment of the mass media of this world, having more UN-elected power than the politicians to lead the people in creating a better world.

Owned by rich impersonal Corporations unaccountable to anyone or anything but their own political-economic agenda, ratings and profits, they abdicate any responsibility commensurate with the extraordinary power they have to shape the thoughts, perceptions, understandings, emotions and feelings of the masses in creating the Future world while it is called Today.

Everyone, every individual will be accountable to God, from the greatest to the least, no matter what their station or position in Life.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all Knowledge; and though I have all Faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long, and is kind; Love is not jealous; Love does not boast, is not puffed up,
Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
Rejoices not in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the Truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be Knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be no more.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And NOW abides Faith, Hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

1 Corinthians 13
