Dear Readers, I wish you all a Blessed New Year.
Now this will not be so much a usual entry, but more a pointer to a very long comment concerning Valentin Tomberg I have posted elsewhere here.
If this link does not take you directly to the long comment, you will just need to scroll down the page till you get to the fifth comment there from myself.
It might be asked why I have decided to post this material regarding Valentin Tomberg in a comment box rather than my weblog.
The main reason is at least indicated there. But I think it bears repeating: I want to allow myself freedom in these comment boxes to be faster, more spontaneous, more “off the-cuff” than the more considered entries I post here.
As I say this brings with it a certain CAVEAT that in my view, the material in the comments boxes is initial, less careful and thought through and more open to revision than what I say elsewhere.
And as my title implies, I am painfully aware of the capacity for these comments to outrage modern sensibilities …
What can be said? It seems to me that we face an ever deteriorating biosphere, deteriorating because of a globalist, dehumanising, capitalist culture spinning out of control.
And that in all my years, I have found few Catholics as morally lucid as Valentin Tomberg as to the roots of the immensity of this tragedy and how to address it …

Now 8 o’clock of the Epiphany’s feast, in the last hours of the great DAY of Christmas made of 12 days and 13 nights, is time to come and remember to you my dear Kim and Roger that your friend Michèle from Italy continues to actively pray for you … for your mission on the web … for this site and also for Edwin Shendelman and for Peter Kelley that I have read with enthusiasm.
I continue to live, to feel and to think in a total harmony with what goes through your dialogues and through your sentiments in this site of the Sacred Heart of our Saviour.
In Medjugorge Mary continues to repeat that IN THESE DAYS (since January 2000) “all the demons are out, and have been freed in the world” this affirmation is crystal clear and confirm that the danger is real that Christianity could sink under the attack. Precisely because ONLY Christ can preserve us from evil…. He came for that. Only His name: so only His Church has the power to overcome Satan who is of divine origin and much stronger than the human been alone.
Your work on that site is of paramount importance … you must know that others are working in the same direction.
I hope that this mail will arrive to you … for the new year I will continue to read you … and more.
Michèle

It is so good to hear from you! I am sorry that a real snarl-up prevented me from accessing this weeks-old message till now.
I too have enthusiasm for Edwin´s and Peter´s messages here. I am grateful to you and everyone else commenting.
Yes Christianity is under attack and truly it could sink. Sink under an Eastern monistic spirituality and a Western materialism. Things I know you are very profoundly with.
Thank you for your belief and support for our work on this site. I pray it will develop more. Really this site feels like the commencement of my true life´s work and I appreciate all prayers and support in the difficult circumstances this site is being birthed in.
On that note it occurs to me to mention that one form of support we would appreciate from anyone reading this is the creation of LINKS to this site, for those for whom this is easy or possible.
Again forgive this terrible delay, dear Known Friend. I shall be in touch soon …
