My Spiritual Marriage to Jesus, Jesus Adoramus, sainthood, very saint of very saint, Saint of Almighty God, "very god", "Two God-Given Heavenly names"

This outpouring of God's Gifts on Me was completely and utterly gratuitous, with myself while cooperating in many ways, being entirely unworthy of any such Blessings, Talking with God Ineffably and often in fear and trembling for fear of offending Him.

The principle mode however was ADORATION, prayer, petition and glorification, The Divine Light SPOKE as it were in a way that could only be described as Ineffable, Christification or becoming god, being a great Pneumataphore or "Spirit Bearer".

    SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE -
    JESUS CHRIST, THE SON.

    IMPORTANT NOTES:

    MY TRUE, REAL, AND ONLY marriage ceremony at an unknown date and time around 1987-1988, in St. Michael's Roman Catholic Cathedral , Toronto, Canada, included the exchange of spiritual rings.

    While on my knees in front of the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar and in deep prayer with great power and activity of the Holy Spirit and with what may have been angels or Grace streaming from the revealed Host in the monstrance, two large rings were apparent.

    Each was about six feet across made of some spiritual material glistening like platinum on the right-hand side of God in the monstrance.

    Jesus and I exchanged many vows eternally, while Jesus' words were being ineffably communicated by the great waves of Golden and Silver Spirit that were sweeping down on me.

    After the mutual exchange of vows, the first ring came toward me and shrinking in size as it approached slipped onto one of the fingers of my hand (my right hand). I participated in the only way I could, by willing the ring to slip on my finger.

    I also participated in putting the other ring on Jesus' finger. I willed with my mind that the other ring (that I was putting on Jesus' finger) would approach Him and slip onto His finger.

    The ring grew smaller and smaller until it appeared to be in place. At no time was there any sight of Jesus' body. The Holy Spirit and the angels were there. So was Jesus, but I couldn't see him.

    I could talk to Him and the Holy Spirit answered.

    Or was it Jesus in the Holy Spirit? My vows were as extravagant, wild, and lavish, as any lover promised (her) spouse anywhere and anytime, promising Him things that only one in love would have the mind to do or the nerve.

    I promised to give Him everything. I threw myself at Him. We were married amidst the greatness of the Glory of God.

  20. In search of wisdom. (43k JPG)

  21. I was flabbergasted. The outpouring of Love and the Glory of God left me awestruck and filled with the Holy Spirit.

    I was alone in the church. I kept thinking: "can this have happened to me?" I decided to tell no one, not even my spiritual director.

    My soul was filled with the Light of God. I was "blinded" by the Light.

    I still to this day don't know any more than approximately when this took place or the details of what happened, because I kept no written records of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    I would gladly have given up the entire remainder of my life, just to have this experience. I thought that to write it down would take away from the profound purity of the occasion. In addition, I thought that my spiritual director at the time would ridicule me.

    Finally, I wasn't about to let the lascivious eyes of the world sully my memories. I have re-considered.

    "SAINT"

    December 16, 1990 - 10:29 P.M.

    Today, I have decided to let you know a secret which I have not yet recorded. I have many experiences that tell me the same things over and over again; the same themes are revealed in the Light and by the streams of Living Water.

    Here is one of several that happened today with the same theme.

    I was in St. Michael's Cathedral today before Mass, in touch visually with a very powerful and responsive Holy Spirit.

    We had been in touch for a span of 10 to 15 minutes and we were getting much closer together.

    I looked and saw Light streaming down the body of the church from the monstrance above the tabernacle. This Light stream was communicating its words of identity: "Jesus Christ."

    Along the floor of the cathedral, leading from the area of the tabernacle, there was a stream of Light joyously bubbling along about 2 to 3 feet high, which ran up against the front of the first row of pews where I was kneeling.

    It ran directly to me, and ended at my knees, where I was praying. I don't know if it passed through the wood of the pew. This bubbling Light formed clearly and distinctly for a period of 2 or 3 seconds, the word, "saint".

    Then there was a break followed in 2 seconds by the word, "Robert". This remained for 2 or 3 seconds and then faded out.

    Now I know, with no doubt whatever, that this was God speaking. Jesus is the Light of the world.

    It has happened similarly or nearly the same on at least 100 other occasions. I can't, at this time, see how I ever could be canonized.

    Indeed, it seems ridiculous. Who would pursue my cause? I do no great works of mercy, except prayer.

    Prayer is my strong point. I really think that it is impossible that I will ever be known, much less recognized, and my cause pursued.

    So it doesn't really matter. God says I am a saint. I am a saint in Heaven and that is where it really counts.

    Perhaps, it means to be one of the company of Heaven. Or is it, as St Paul refers to it, like one of "the saints in Jerusalem." [I know now that it is a specific title for a member of a very spiritually advanced group of people in Heaven.

    Not just a member of the company of Heaven, but a much smaller group, with a much higher status in Heaven.

    Saints are made in Heaven, and SOMETIMES recognized on Earth. Also, Jesus has said, time after time, that I am only a saint in my prayer - life] [See " The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church" by Vladimir Lossky.]

    SOME EXTRAORDINARY GIFTS: VERY SAINT OF VERY SAINT

    Saturday, June 15, 1991

    I prayed for myself to be through Jesus, with Jesus and in Jesus, and then I prayed for Jesus to be through me, with me and in me.

    Then I prayed for the Lord, the Holy Spirit to be through me, with me and in me, while we were both through, with and in Jesus. I also put myself through, with and in the Lord, the Holy Spirit

    Then, I prayed for myself, Jesus and the Lord the Holy Spirit (who were in myself, and I in the Lord, the Holy Spirit, who was in the Lord Jesus), to put us through, with and into God, the Father.

    I also put God, the Father through, with and in me and Jesus, and the Lord, the Holy Spirit until the four of us were through, with and in each other.

    The whole process was part of the process of the ultimate consummation of the union of myself and the All Holy Trinity.

    This was all done in the ten minutes, after receiving communion at St. Michael's Cathedral.

    At the end, I was told that I had become, and was: "very saint of very saint", (this reads, "true saint of true saint".)

    Afterwards, God told me that I had the top part of the rung (of the ladder) to go, and that I would become: "Most High Saint of the Lord God," (one of them, I assume. I think there are a number of them).

    In case you think I am crazy or possessed, please be aware that I have had 4 spiritual directors with 6 doctorates between them and that I am a part-time graduate student at the Faculty of Theology, St Michael's College, The University of Toronto.

    Then, there is the obvious {in???}sanity at times, of the largest bulk of the material in this book, rationally presented, if in a mystic mode.

    Finally, be aware that the parts of the book, which some people may question, are not fabricated by my mind or imagination, but they are

    WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE HAND OF GOD.

    SOME MORE EXTRAORDINARY GIFTS - THE FATHER

    Sunday Morning, June 16, 1991, 2:07 A.M.

    I prayed tonight to be "a Most High Saint of Almighty God," as I had been requested by God, the Father earlier, the day before.

    There was a lot of Light at first. I prayed first to the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and the Most Blessed Holy Trinity and then to the Lord Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Most Blessed Holy Trinity.

    The Lord, when I was finished, shone through the Light of the Holy Spirit, the words: "Now you are God's friend there, too," meaning the FATHER'S friend in Heaven. All I can say is, "We'll understand bye and bye."

    A bit later, the Lord appeared as a soft white Light around the crucifix. I began to insistently demand to know what I was, "there" (in Heaven). Jesus repeatedly said: "St. Rob".

    Finally, I guess I broke Him down, because a large ball of yellow light rose out of the picture I have of Mary and the infant Jesus, and went in a semicircular arc up to my right. It said very powerfully: "very god" (read -"true god" - small "g" god).

    Then there was a refusal to comment on it for several minutes by God, but the Presence of the Lord was most beautiful and most powerful.

    As it died away, I asked the Lord what I was in Heaven.

    I was told I was "a most high saint", one of them I think. There are a number of them. He revealed that I was in the inner ring of those that minister to God in Heaven around His throne.

    N.B. I was not the closest one to Him, however.

    [I had already learned that there will be a rotation in Heaven, so a variety of people get their turn--sort of like the rotation of priests in the temple in Jerusalem.] Whether or not this will be the eternal situation is not known to me.

    Actually, one becomes a "god," or "divinized," in the sense of being "Christified". We are made in the image of Christ, who is the image of the living God, (the Father).

    So we are made "in the image of the image," as one writer puts it. Divinization is union with Christ. This is Christification.

    This means "to partake of the Divine Nature" not to be a God, equal in deity to God, or Jesus, or The Lord the Holy Spirit.

    It is to derive one's status, not to be independent: it is to share in the love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit explicitly and mystically, as expressed to each other and more diffusely to the rest of creation.

    MUCH LATER - THE LORD, THE HOLY SPIRIT

    Jesus said he WOULDN'T make me His best friend in Heaven, besides Mary, His Father, and the Lord, the Holy Spirit. I was crushed. I broke down for a short while. It was a very emotional moment. I love Him so much. (Bear with me, I know it's mushy).

    Eventually, I asked something like: "what is left for me?" Jesus indicated the Lord, the Holy Spirit. He revealed that I had often called the Lord, the Holy Spirit: "Jesus". In the feeling of the moment, I asked if I could be the best friend of the Lord, the Holy Spirit in Heaven.

    The Lord, the Holy Spirit spoke sharply: "maybe". I took a guess " Can I be a great pneumatophore {or "Spirit Bearer"}in Heaven", I asked? "Granted now (this day)," (the Holy Spirit) replied. Now the Lord, the Holy Spirit didn't say eternally or sempiternally, or whatever, for how long this will take place.

    To be sure, I am very confused by these revelations. The chances are several million to one in favour, that I AM NOT BEING DECEIVED ABOUT THIS.

    [The Holy Spirit bearing Jesus was very obvious. I can't quite believe that I am so blessed, but God spoke clearly and unequivocally.

    I usually pray to Jesus in the Lord, the Holy Spirit - the Spirit is the vehicle for God's Word.] [My spiritual director at that time has 4 doctorates and is an international scholar on eastern church mysticism.

    I remembered St. Teresa of Avila saying she would take a learned man over a devout man as a spiritual director every day. He turned out excellently.
