The Healing Power of Tea

In studying our ancient history and culture, I was so impressed with ancient writings that described  the healing power of hot tea. Our ancient ancestors grew plants with leaves that were known to be medicinal. They picked leaves off different plants and trees, and used them as remedies for various symptoms -- fever, colds, aches, and muscle pain.  This is why they lived to be older than any other on this earth.

I  recall that my own grandmother, Rosa, was a medical healer  who lived to be 104. I was with her when she died, and I remember embracing her for hours until they removed me. I did not want to let her go.

Now Grandma comes into this oppressive mode of darkness and gives me life like you have no idea. She even states that one day soon we shall be free.

When you or family members become ill, the most important thing to do is to drink hot tea, because it comes from the earth. It is a spiritual gift from God. Drink it with a squeeze of lemon juice and nothing else.  Pray as you consume the tea, asking God to heal you. For breathing, place Vic’s on the outside edge of your nostrils. Rub the bottom of your feet with Vic’s and wear socks.

In doing this, you will learn of the miraculous gifts given to us by God.

Amor,

Loving Family Spirits on El Dia de Los Muertos

            How long has it been since we have reflected on that which unites us with our history, culture, ancestors, and families? For how long will society eradicate the true importance of this glorious and special day?  Family members who have gone into the realm of the "fleshless," to be in ancient spirituality with all our noble ancestors, await us. 

Over five hundred years have passed since the time that those who refused to see the truth, rejected the notion of our communing with the spirit world.  History accurately and truthfully revealed that friars and Jesuit priests, upon their arrival in our world, immediately studied our ancestors' religious customs, rituals, and beliefs. As these priests experienced astounding revelations, they gradually discovered the power of our ancient spirituality which has forever been the base and foundation of our culture!

During this time of religious festivities, one can only imagine the feelings of the religious invaders as they experienced the rejoicing, dancing, and beauty of our rituals flowing through the heart of the land.  Such power and beauty disturbed the faith of the friars and Jesuits. 

Listen closely, for my destiny is to speak the true history.  There is a day pertaining to our religious culture, which connects nature, the earth, and heaven.  It is a day when we realize the true essence of cosmic visions, which prove that we are truly a part of mother earth, heaven, and the spiritual realm. On that day, the veil that separates the living from the dead is removed, and we are reunited with the loving spirits of our ancestors, forefathers, and deceased family members.  It is a day of rejoicing, communing, sharing, praying, fasting, and meditating with our family members who now reside in Ilhuicatlitic, the heavens, because we share our ancestral spirituality on earth.  It is a day that truly brings us together with our past It is so religious and spiritually powerful, that even five hundred years ago priests like Sahagun, Torquemada, Molina, Duran, and others realized the power of Teotleco -- the arrival of the gods.  They witnessed the spiritual ancestral power granted from the past to the present and future on El Día De Los Muertos.

History reveals that invaders and society began to taint the meaning of this day with ominous misconceptions, stripping us of our cultural foundation -- the spiritual communing between heaven and earth.  The destruction of our cultural beliefs on this day deteriorated to the point that eventually society displaced the importance and value of Teotleco and El Dia De Los Muertos, and made it a day embedded with monsters, goblins and appearances of evil omens.  It replaced the day of remembrance of our ancestors, and family members who have transcended into heaven.     

Was it by choice, or ignorance?  Do we continue to permit the devious subtle destructive present day society to destroy the truthful and spiritual meaning of this day?  The destruction of our cultural knowledge and remembrance of that special time was replaced with a prank filled celebration -- a day now commercially referred to as Halloween.  It is now a night spent in the wearing of masks immortalizing pagans, evil omens, celebrities and presidents. They can have their Halloween, and its concepts. 

The time has come for us as spiritual people to remove masks of misconceptions and ruses, and behold the glorious days of Teotleco on El Dia de los Muertos, in which we honor our loving family members in heaven. We pray, sing, and acknowledge God’s spiritual gifts that do not change, for the love of our families will always reside in our hearts.

Amor,

Ramsey and Family

Grandmother Rosa and I Prayed for the Healing of Others

Grandmother Rosa was and continues to be God's spiritual healer. I say spiritual because I was so young, yet old enough to understand, stare into her face, and feel her heart when she was asked to heal the sick in the neighborhood. She would prepare her remedies and I was always the one that she would take. I carried her medical bag and she would make sure that I witnessed every step that she took in preparing and giving the healing remedies. Afterwards I would kneel next to her and she would begin praying for a great amount of time. She would tell the patient that my innocence as a child had been God-sent for his/her recovery. Grandmother Rosa would ask me to hold my two hands on the forehead of the person who was ill, and ask God to heal him/her, and I prayed. Now Grandmother Rosa is healing me and praying with me. In my spiritual dreams she prays right beside me. I am not the same man that they unlawfully imprisoned 21 years ago. My experiences with my grandmother, Rosa, have brought my childhood memories back, helping me remember that that I was spiritually blessed from the time of my youth.

Amor,

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo 2014

"Ramsey, my son, it is evident and soon history will reveal to the present and past generations your contributions and sacrifices in the political , cultural and spiritual struggle for truth and justice, to the extent that you sacrificed your freedom, personal interests, family, and happiness."  Dr. Salvador Alvarez

Dr. Andres Guerrero, author and graduate of Harvard School of Divinity, is writing a book on the background, life, and imprisonment of Ramsey Muñiz. Having been led by the spirit of God, he traveled to Leavenworth, Kansas to find him chained and struggling to hold the phone with his hands. It is true. Ramsey Muñiz is suffering. He has suffered like no other for 21 long years, unjustly incarcerated in the prisons of American.  Ramsey writes the following:

After 21 years of unjust imprisonment, suffering, pain in the prisons of America, it is with great love and honor to share feelings of pride about El Cinco de Mayo, a historical and spiritual day of remembrance about our ancestors.

It is written historically that 153 years ago, our Mexican brothers and sisters demonstrated to the entire world what it is to have valor, courage, pride, love, and spirituality. They defended their honor by giving their lives. They showed the world the greatest and most powerful gifts from God, which are freedom, justice, and love!

In May of 1862, a powerful French army forced its way into Mexico with destruction. The strong French army was at its best. It was well-armed, disciplined, destroying all resistance as they marched into Mexico City.  They hoped to force the Mexican government honor previous debts and give up their pride. 

Outside the town of Puebla, an amazing event took place.  Mexican soldiers, with poor equipment and little training, defeated the world’s most powerful French army.  This battle came to be known as The Battle of Puebla, which was a battle for freedom, land, existence, and the defense of human rights.

The Battle of Puebla has been remembered and celebrated every Cinco de Mayo for the last 153 years! We take great pride in this historical event and we honor the men and women who defended the rights given to us by God from the time of our birth: freedom –-- justice –-- land ---- and love.

We continue to struggle for freedom – justice -- and love.  It is difficult to have these qualities today. For this reason we honor our ancestors for the sacrifice that they made with their lives so that on this day we could be free – politically, culturally, and spiritually.

Although my family and I experience suffering, sorrow, sadness, and imprisonment, we remain centered in who we are. We maintain love for God, love for ourselves, and love for our families. We treasure the spiritual family unity that our people are known to have.  

We take pride in the spirit of our ancestors. Through their heroic actions they demonstrated dignity and courage, which we inherited from them, for we believe in God’s gifts of freedom, justice, and love!

Que Viva El Cinco de Mayo!

Con mucho corazon,
Ramsey y Irma Muñiz y Familia

             Re: Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz - 40288-115

 

Your Holiness:

I write for your prayers and assistance to help free Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, an American who has been unjustly incarcerated for 21 years.  At 71 years of age, he is serving a sentence of life without parole in the United States and he suffers greatly . For many years we have struggled to obtain justice in his case and we pray for his freedom.

Ramsey Muñiz made a political impact and positive contribution to humanity at the age of 30, having run for governor of Texas. He helped to gain a political voice for Mexican Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Chicanos, and many others. It is historically written that this political change came about during the Civil Rights Movement; he encountered problems in his life as a result.

Recently Ramsey Muñiz submitted an application for early release under the Compassionate Release Program. We have asked President Barack Obama to free Ramey Muñiz in the same ways that he seeks human rights for people throughout the world.

Leaders need reminders about the need to preserve human rights in their own countries. Because you represent the spiritual conscience of the world, we ask that you remind President Barack Obama about the need to free Ramsey Muñiz and others who are unjustly incarcerated in the United States.

Thank you for demonstrating faith, love, and compassion for others. Your spiritual influence has been a gift to humanity. We thank God for your guidance, and we ask that His blessings and protection always remain with you.

 

                                                            In spiritual unity,

Your Holiness:

I pray that upon receipt of this letter, you maintain the spiritual blessings of health and the love of God. My name is Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, and I am from Corpus Christi, Texas. My family has written to you, and I am also writing to ask for your blessing and assistance.

I have been unjustly incarcerated for 21 years. Attorneys have legal documents pertaining to my unconstitutional trial, conviction, and sentence of life without parole. My struggle for freedom and justice has been long and hard and it has had a great effect on me and a loving family that I am blessed to have. We have remained spiritually united after 21 years, pursuing freedom and justice.

 My unjust incarceration is due to the political impact that I made at the age of 30, having run for governor of Texas. I helped to gain a political voice for Mexican Americans, Hispanics, Latinos, Chicanos, and many others. Historically it is written that this came about during the Civil Rights Movement. Many of us here in the United States know in our hearts and souls that I am unjustly incarcerated because I am a political prisoner.

When previously held in solitary confinement, I was in chains, shackles, naked, and cold. Preparing to succumb to the end of my life, my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, came into the darkness and told me to rise and become the man that God destined for me to be, demonstrating freedom, justice and love for all humanity. I maintain His enlightenment to this day. Through the blessings of God and the love of Christ, I have been spiritually blessed like no other.

My beloved brother, Jesus Christ, shared that at times we must give up the essence of pleasure and comfort in return for a life of suffering, hardship, misery, and even imprisonment for the deep spiritual love of freedom and justice for humanity. I believe this to be true.

The late Dr. Salvador Alvarez, my loving father-in-law, has stated, "Ramsey, my son, it is evident, and soon history will reveal to present and past generations, your contributions and sacrifices in the political, cultural, and spiritual struggle for truth and justice, to the extent that you sacrificed your freedom, personal interests, family, and happiness." He speaks to me daily.

I am a Catholic and I have great belief in God, Jesus Christ, and La Virgen de Guadalupe. Catholic priests and nuns have advocated and prayed that justice will prevail in my case. United States congressmen and national organizations have supported me, and I know that one day God will grant my freedom.

I am 71 years old and confined to a wheelchair. Because of my age and medical condition I am eligible to be released under the Compassionate Release Program initiated by President Barack Obama. I have submitted an application and I ask for your prayers and influence, knowing that you represent the spiritual conscience of the world. Please ask President Obama to consider my case, as he has stated, “And as we pray for all prisoners of conscience, whatever their faiths, wherever they’re held, let’s imagine what it must be like for them.”

Thank you for stating that Catholics should become involved in politics, as I have learned that this is a spiritual mission. I ask that your prayers will obtain my freedom and the freedom of my family.  I will always offer prayers for you, knowing that you are a spiritual gift from God to all humanity.

 

In spiritual unity with you and God’s family,

                                                      

                                                            Ramiro R. Muñiz

Pope Francis Demonstrates the Life Of Jesus Christ

November 9, 2013

There is so much violence throughout the world pertaining to different religious groups that are seeking spirituality by means of violence, and we have Francis Pope, one of the greatest religious spiritual leaders in the world, on his knees washing the feet of prisoners advocating forgiveness, understanding, communication, grief, pain, and love. Without having to say it, he was on his knees sharing the "Rebirth of Consciousness” with the world.

Pope Francis prayed until Jesus Christ came into his heart and soul and told him to do what he had done before the entire world. He had to demonstrate the true meaning of forgiveness, freedom, justice, love, and the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Amor,

Ramsey

                        Re: Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz 40288-115

Your Holiness:

You are a man of prayer and a just man.  I write in supplication for your spiritual influence to help free my husband, Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, who has been unjustly incarcerated for nearly twenty years.  At 71 years of age, he is serving a sentence of life without parole in Texas.

My husband’s health conditions are degenerative, and he uses a wheelchair the majority of the time.  He has submitted an application for early release under a new "Compassionate Release Program" and we pray for a positive outcome.  A word from you would be very helpful in the cause of his being released and we humbly ask for your intercession.

Ramiro "Ramsey" became a attorney and activist who defended civil and human rights. At age 30 he ran for Governor of Texas. Although he was not elected, he awakened political consciousness and made positive contributions to the lives of all, especially Mexican Americans and Hispanics, seeking justice through political representation. Subsequently, malicious charges and persecutions were made to put him away, and sadly were all too successful.

Pastor Reverend Dr. R.L. Uzzel stated, "Wrong perceptions, judgments, mistakes, and withholding evidence contributed to his convictions." Dr. Andres Guerrero, a graduate of Harvard School of Divinity, shares this view. He is writing a book about Muñiz’s history, imprisonment, and spirituality. 

I am convinced of my husband’s innocence, and I have worked with others for twenty years to obtain freedom and justice for Ramsey Muñiz. My family loves and supports him. Catholic priest Father Juan Romero of California has written three times to President Obama. Other religious leaders, national organizations, and congressmen have also supported our efforts.

From his imprisonment, Ramsey watched you washing the feet of prisoners.  You showed your loving tenderness, humility, forgiveness, compassion, mercy, suffering, and love. This act gives us hope for his return to his family and community.

Information which can help you advocate on behalf of Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz with President Obama can be accessed at www.freeramsey.blogspot.com. For additional information, go to www.freeramsey.com and www.supportramsey.blogspot.com. If you wish to contact my husband directly, you may write him at the following address in Beaumont, Texas:

Tribute to Nelson Mandela 1918 - 2013

I am greatly saddened about the passing of Nelson Mandela, but at the same time I see him embracing my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, who gave His life for freedom, justice, and love for the world. Even as I share these words of spiritual wisdom, I cannot stop tears of sadness and sorrow because at the moment that I heard of his passing, I was reading his recent book, making comments about his thoughts which made an impact on my heart. He spoke with the same voice, knowing the true meaning of oppression, discrimination, racial bias, loneliness, chains, shackles, and a long imprisonment. Those who continue to feel the cold iron and steel doors that shut their hearts and minds can understand.  I will be with my brother, Nelson Mandela, as I will pray for his journey to heaven, and I ask that after his resting and taking his spiritual position that he come into my heart and soul and give me the courage, pride, love, heart, and soul to become a free man once again and to bring freedom to the masses of humanity.

 

To Nelson Mandela I say, “I will always love you for coming into my life when I was in solitary confinement.  My wife, Irma Muniz, sent me your most famous book -- Long Walk to Freedom. I read the book twice, and I shall always love you for being the man, father, and spiritual human being that you shall forever be.”

 

I have fasted, drinking only water for the last four days. I shall continue to fast in dedication to the spiritual life of my beloved freedom brother, Nelson Mandela.

 

Freedom.  Freedom. God, give us our freedom.

 

Amor,

Ramsey R. Muniz

Confined 21 years in the prisons of the United States of America

 

Nelson Mandela Was Chosen by God

Today I dedicated my prayers and meditation to the life of my beloved brother in struggle, Nelson Mandela. When I first heard him speak and read his words about freedom, justice, equality, pride, discipline, dignity, and love, I knew that Nelson Mandela had been chosen by God. From the time of his birth to this very day he strives to survive having dedicated his life to freedom, justice, and love.

 

I can feel the love that comes from his heart to this day, because it is the same love that I feel for humanity.  It is about freedom, justice, and love, and I know that these qualities in life will come about because they are gifts from God bestowed from the time of our creation.  They can never be denied for they are given only by God.

 

I pray for Nelson Mandela, and I thank God for freedom, justice, and love – qualities for which he suffered and gave his life.

 

Amor,

Ramsey Muniz

This Love Shall Overcome

We need the assistance of United States Congressmen, National Hispanic and Latino organizations, individuals from our spiritual churches and the masses of humanity so that one day I can be free once more.

 

I am the man that I am today, yesterday, and tomorrow because of the spirituality in my heart and soul. I have been able to overcome twenty years of oppressive and hard imprisonment like no other prisoner in this United States of America, yet I have become spiritually stronger like never before.

 

Our movement for our freedom has to be spiritual. This is the message that I constantly receive during my daily prayers and meditations everyday, when I kneel right in the middle of the institutional yard to be alone with God.

 

I have never ever felt so strong and powerful in all phases of my life, and the love that I possess for humanity is unreal. My heart and soul are full of love and with this love we shall overcome.

 

Amor,

Ramsey Muniz 

We Ask Congressmen and the Bureau of Prisons to Transfer Ramsey Muniz Closer to Home

Ramsey Muniz is in solitary confinement along with the entire institution. He and others suffer greatly. Contact him by mail at:
 
Ramiro R. Muniz - 40288-115
FCC Beaumont - Medium
P.O. Box 26040
Beaumont, TX  77720

We ask congressmen and congresswoman to send correspondence to the Bureau of Prisons, recommending that Ramsey Muniz be transferred to Three Rivers FCI. All that we seek are human rights for a man who has been wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 20 years of his life.

 

The trial testimony shows that Judge Paul Brown had made the recommendation that Ramsey Muniz be confined in Three Rivers, Texas, yet he remains in Beaumont F.C.I.  Please contact your congressman and ask him/her to write to the warden at Beaumont FCI, asking for assistance in having Ramsey transferred to Three Rivers, Texas, as the judge originally recommended.

 

Ramsey Muniz is 70 years of age and life expectancy in the United States is 74 years. He deserves to be closer to his family for the few remaining years of his life.

God is Calling for Me to Serve Him

Words are difficult to describe the appearance of our spirits who are in heaven and the enlightenment that they bring through their love and embrace like never ever before. At times I feel as if maybe God is calling for me to serve Him in heaven which I am ready and prepared to do, but your father and our mother, Hilda, continue to share that our lives have just begun like never before and that we have a mission to fulfill in our lives on earth.  

 

Many will wish to deny our history of suffering and pain for many years, knowing in their hearts they could have never survived this suffering in their lives.  I have God, Jesus Christ, La Virgin de Guadalupe, and our spirits who are in heaven. I also have the most precious enduring love that you bestow on my life when you state, "I love you." Those are the three most powerful and profound words on earth and in heaven.

 

Your father shares that what is wrong with humanity. We can go almost our entire lives without ever uttering three God-given words - - "I love you."

The Love of Our Mothers

 

My mother, Hilda, was most powerful and profound this afternoon like never ever before.  She stated that regardless of how much I have suffered and continue to suffer, I must just take the time and pray for her. She will come into my soul and give me all the love and the strength that a mother would give her children.

 

She states that many will be joining our journey in seeking our freedom because after so many years we have never admitted defeat and that the reason why we continue to become stronger, not only among ourselves. Many others will begin joining our cause for freedom and justice like never ever before.

 

My mother continues to admire me as her son because my primary objective is to move closer to mom and the family.  Our mother, Irma, is the key to our freedom and she must know that over and over again. Her love, prayers, courage, and will to stay alive is most important in our lives until God decides otherwise. God wishes for mom to be with us when I become a free man once again.

 

Amor,

My Spiritual Life Was Altered in Solitary Confinement

It makes a big difference to go outside and feel the winds to be in the midst of what God has given to humanity from the formation of earth - the sky, the clouds, and sometimes the sun and the moon.

 

As I was praying and meditating this afternoon, I could not help but wonder how it was possible that I was able to survive three years in the dungeons of Leavenworth USP. I came to know hunger, thirst, sadness, loneliness, chains, shackles, darkness, and coldness. At times I wished that I would not be alive anymore on this earth. Yes, I went through all of these changes. They are changes that many human beings on this earth will never experience, and I pray to God that no one ever has to go through what I did.

 

For the longest time I was strong. Gradually my strength and desire to stay alive weakened like never before in my life. At times I would ask God to please take my life. It was during one of those days that I was on my knees, chained and shackled,  not knowing if I was going to survive such inhumane treatment. Even an animal would receive better care than I, and I was a human being.

 

Never will I ever forget that out of nowhere I could hear a voice coming into my soul, conveying for me to stand up, off my knees, and to be thankful to God because I was alive. From that day on I would not only be alive, but I would have pride, discipline, dignity and love, sharing with God and my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, that I would never again display signs of weakness. I would let the world know that I will struggle and fight for freedom to the last day that it takes of my life and the lives of those who join this journey of liberation.

 

I know that it was my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, who came into the cold darkness. I was on my knees feeling sorry for myself because I had been praying and asking Him to come into my heart and soul and He did.

 

There is much going on in the world today. At the very end, when all the dust settles, it will all be about spirituality, God, and the different religious beliefs and convictions throughout the world. It is all about God -- the one who created this world.

 

The time has come for the world to realize that the only way to resolve differences is to first resolve one’s difference with God. After this, everything will be clear, because God does not intend to bring harm or sadness to humanity. He created the world for the purpose of knowing freedom, justice, peace, faith, spirituality and love, love, and more love.

 

The world is afraid to use the term love. They believe that it is a sign of weakness and this is the greatest mistake that we can make. May God forgive the world and may God forgive those who unjustly and unlawfully confined my life for the last 20 years.

 

Amor,

Ramsey Muñiz

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and Love of His Mother

In the Book of Mark, which is thought to be the first of the Gospels written, it is written that it was Mary Magdalene, Mary, and Salome who found the stone rolled away.  It was to Mary Magdalene that the resurrected Jesus Christ first appeared.  She seemed and was altogether stronger and more stalwart than the 11 remaining disciples (Judas having gone to perhaps by suicide, in grief). 

 

Women, including Mary and Mary Magdalene, were particularly noted for standing, kneeling, and crying by Jesus Christ during His ordeal on Golgotha. Once again the indications and the historical evidence reflects that women were, are, and shall forever be the symbol of consciousness as it pertains to freedom, justice, pride, family, courage, faithfulness, and love like no other.

 

I praise the courage and love of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, on the day that He gave His life on the cross with such pain and torture on His body and soul. I celebrate His glorious resurrection that came about as result of this mission of love.

 

I give glory and gratitude to the Mary, Jesus' mother, and to all the women close to Mary and Mary Magdalene, who never left the site of the cross where Jesus Christ was nailed alive. They remained until He was taken down.
 

This same courage and pride resides in our mothers on this earth. The time has come for us to embrace them like never ever before, and let them know how thankful we are for the love and sacrifices that they made for us.

Amor,

Ramsey Muñiz

Cesar Chavez, the Prophet of the Poor

I devoted considerable time in meditation and prayer asking Jesus Christ, Cesar Chavez, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to come into my heart and soul. I asked that they provide me with what they wish for me to share with the world about Cesar Chavez, this famous farm worker, labor leader, and one of the most famous civil rights spiritual activists in our times.

 

The presence of Cesar Chavez continues to be with us. Hundreds of our people unite to celebrate his life, because he is very much alive. In fact, he is more alive today than he was when he took that journey with Jesus Christ, Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993, and he has been in a very profound resurrection ever since then, only miles away from his birth place in San Luis, Arizona. It is said that over 50,000 people attended his funeral mass in the small town of Delano, California. Many, such as Cardinal Roger M. Mahoney, have declared him as the "21st Century Prophet of the Poor.”

 

History also has it recorded that on August 8, 1994, his widow, Helen Chavez, accepted and received the Medal of Freedom conferred posthumously by President Bill Clinton.

 

On December 6, 2006, Cesar Chavez was inducted into the California Hall of Fame. We commemorate his life of dedication, spirituality, and his love for the freedom of humanity.

 

Chavez marched and led strikes against rich farm workers that refused to pay fair wages. He advocated human rights in providing a voice against discrimination and oppression.

 

He had the love and the power of Jesus Christ in his heart. He shared this one time as we spoke, because he knew in his heart that I also sought freedom, justice, and love for all humanity. We could see in each other’s eyes the respect and the love that we had in each other's hearts, because Jesus Christ was with us.

 

I know that Cesar Chavez is with me tonight and every night, giving me strength, faith, courage, dignity, pride and most importantly, sharing the love of Jesus Christ, whose resurrection is celebrated today.  

 

Cesar knows that I have survived and will continue to survive, because he states that both he and our most beloved brother, Jesus Christ, are with me and all of our brothers and sisters who suffer in this hard, oppressive world. They will struggle with us until we are all free!

 
 

Amor,

Ramsey

Why Has Thou Forsaken Me

All night and even this morning these words continue to sound and resound in my mind and heart and soul. My most beloved brother, Jesus Christ, was giving His life for the sake of all humanity on this earth, to enable humanity to seek salvation through the blessings of Almighty God. It was for the sake of freedom, justice, forgiveness, family, spirituality, and love. He knew that He had been chosen from the very beginning as He moved through the masses of a humanity that spoke of this great man by the name of Jesus Christ, who had been sent to earth by God.

 

I am amazed of how much He must have suffered nailed alive to the cross by His hands and feet, not having anyone come forward except His loving mother, Mary.  On her knees, she tried to touch His feet so that He would know that she had never deserted Him and never would.

 

How He must have felt teaching and sharing His kindness and love, knowing that not one had been present as He suffered on the cross. It is no wonder that He finally looked up to heaven and spoke to God asking, "Why has Thou  forsaken me?"

 

Soon after, the heavens opened. My beloved brother, Jesus Christ, came into the midst and power of God's kingdom of heaven. To this very day and time all the teachings and everything that Jesus Christ shared made it possible for us to be who we are today.

 

No, God never truly forsook His Son, Jesus Christ, who in making the statement indicated that He was human -- more human than we will ever be.

Good Friday

I know that I will be in deep spiritual prayer and meditation like never ever before. I can only imagine what was going through the mind, heart, and soul of my most beloved brother, Jesus Christ, as He waited to be tried, and sentenced. Today represents the most historical crucifixion of a human being demonstrated to the world. Christ was stripped naked, beaten, tortured without a piece of bread for His hunger or a drop of water for His thirst.  Without strength left in His beaten body, He was forced to carry the cross. He fell, was beaten, and whipped on His body.

 

When He finally arrived the top of the hill, we was nailed alive to the cross by His hands. They bound both feet and nailed them to the cross in the same way.

 

I can feel His presence, and I can feel His strength, courage, pride, dignity and love like never ever before in my entire life.

 

It was meant to be for my spiritual brother Raul to be with me, as we will celebrate the resurrection of our beloved brother in struggle for freedom, justice, and love.

The Love, Power, and Spirituality of our Mothers

I continue to do extensive reading and research into our spiritual world, reading books that have not been opened in the prison chapel for years. I spend hours and hours not only in prayer, but seeking what other individuals sought during those historical spiritual times, knowing in their hearts and souls that one day someone on this earth would take the time to read what they witnessed and sought in their hearts.

 

The message that I have found and has come from Jesus Christ is a love that keeps coming out so strong and so powerfully that humanity misses it during these most historical spiritual days. It is the blessing and the love of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

 

We must take the time and realize that our greatest gift on this earth was she who brought and assisted God in creating us for existence in this life yesterday, today and tomorrow.

 

It is not only the trial, the sorrow, the sadness and crucifixion of our most beloved brother Jesus Christ. It is about the greatest gift that God and the entire spiritual world continues to share with us and that the love, the power, and the spirituality of our mothers.

     

“Mary meets Jesus on the road to Calvary. The Blessed Virgin sets out toward Calvary where she knows that her son is to be crucified.   Upon the way she meets Him.  What immense sorrow to see Him in this terrible state!! Her gaze meets His, and the abyss of the suffering of Jesus calls upon the abyss of His mother's compassion.  What is there that she would not do for Him! This meeting was at once a source of sorrow and of joy for Jesus.  Of sorrow, in seeing the deep desolation wherein his suffering state plunged his Mother's soul; of joy, in the thought that his sufferings were to pay the price for all the privileges she had already received and for those yet to be lavished upon her.  Jesus continues his way towards the place of his execution because it is his Father's will.  Mary is one with him in all that he feels.  She knows that all things must be accomplished for our salvation.  She takes her share in the sufferings of Jesus in following him as far as Golgotha where she will become Co-Redemptrix.” (Blessed Columba Marmion).  

 

The power and the love of our mothers cannot ever be forgotten, for it is the source of all creation and righteousness. The more that we honor and cherish and embrace and love our mothers, the more God will come forward in our lives and bring an enlightenment of freedom, justice, and love like never ever before.

 

It is time to embrace Mary and let her know that we are with her in her suffering, in her witnessing the nailing of her most beloved son, Jesus Christ, and in witnessing his suffering to the very end nailed to the  cross of suffering, forgiveness , and love.
