The Joy of a Happy Death

I have learned the dependency on life to live well is to live the last judgement today.  There is death and there is a life.  What is delivered is the JOY of DEATH!

The Romance of Man and Woman, Is this love?

Paperback Books, Alhambra Library, California

 As I recover from these proportions of insight on the BOND between Man and Woman, I hear and am supposing a conclusion to the FEMININE HEART and this is the decision to be loved by Man.  How is a woman loved by man?

As I rest from no rest at the Alhambra Library, I sit next to an isle of Paperback Books with images of Front Cover books of man and woman at a very serious point of reference of private moment.

What is privacy when it comes to LOVE between Man and Woman?

And when it comes to the PASSION of GOD towards MAN, shall we find this a moment of privacy, as well?

There are depictions of Love between God and Man, a FRIENDSHIP towards INTIMACY and ECSTASY!

I will find these images offering a CONDITION OF LOVE that the BOND comes from a CREATOR who LOVES the UNION of Man and Woman.

When is this UNION depicted with a formed good or a mortal act against God?

Advent Reflections, 2021




 

The Joy of Virgin, Female

Marriage and Virginity, Works of St Augustine

The Joy of Virgin is Marriage.  Marriage is Unity.  Marriage is a decision.  It is bestowed on Virgin as a Gift and is a serious dependency on Man to love Woman.

"In 2017 Cal State LA hosted a public dialogue between Funmilola and the Ooni of Ife, traditional ruler of the Yoruba kingdom Ile-Ife. In 2018, Funmilola and Nigerian presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore participated in a public dialogue on the state of affairs in Nigeria and the African diaspora. And in 2020 Funmilola traveled to Paris at the request of the president of France, to offer her consultation in France’s plan to address the country’s colonial history with African nations. This came to fruition after the president, Emmanuel Macron, had viewed Funmilola’s social commentary and political analysis in the popular French publication, Le Monde.

Funmilola has delivered keynote addresses, lectures and performances at universities across the U.S. and Europe. Some of the venues include UCLA School of Law, Oxford University, Stanford and Harvard"

A Blessed Womb, A Woman and Her Peace


 The Consolation of Love is Peace.  The Consolation of Hope is a womb readily prepared for a new coming.  Are we women who fail to know the coming?

Religion and Peace are the forthright conditions of a Coming.

The Joy of Crowning Mary, Queen of Heaven


M +
February 20, 2020

I have been given the grace to reflect on my May Crowning in observing the wonderful delivery that this moment in history is a moment to reflect.  On May 14, 1995, my decision became evident that I was to receive an honorable condition that in this lifetime and in this pilgrimage towards Heaven and Eternal Home; there are actions and honored decisions.
Who will decide the worthy condition?
Who will commend the decision?
Who will make the determined act of which these are the qualities of existence in the sight of Mary, Queen and Mother?

How was a chosen female person brought to the sanctuary to hold the crown of which the Queen and Mother of Heaven would permit a hand of a maiden to despise the demonic consideration?

It is a crown I hold to place on the Head of the Queen of Heaven.  It is a crown I will adorn for love of her decision to be a most sincere effort to all female persons to listen to the heart of God and His decision to love her.  How shall I adorn my Queen and Mother? 

To adorn the Head of the Queen.  To adorn her with charity and the virtue of which the life here on Earth will never find unless the hand came from a sincere handmaiden who loved her.

To love the Head and the Queen of Heaven.  To love her with the most honorable despise of any spirit of which denies her the kindness of being present to her.  And amidst, the humdrum trivialities of school and study; I shall not interfere in the desire of a handmaiden to love the Queen and Mother of my Lord.

To prefer the Head and the Queen and Mother of Heaven.  To prefer her is a most decisive condition in me to love her whom my heart will only elately be satisfied.  I can only tell you, I leave everything and I am with my Mother in Heaven.  I shut the open field of which I am sustained by a grand alliance, and an interior silence overtakes the humdrum and the littlest petal created on the crown is made with the preferred condition of no other.

I have considered all prospects and she has always known her love for the Queen of Heaven.  She and no other will tell her of what love this is and how it will present itself before a vast consideration of alliances.  God is her Redeemer and Love.  He will despise the author of a life against this honorable condition.  God is her deliverer and He will tremble the loss of those who did not wait for the Bridegroom.  I am not consoled by the male factors ahead except by a man who loves Him.

Meryl is my name and Mother and Queen of Heaven is my delight as the crowning begins to adhere to the suffering of trial and mishap.  I am a lover of souls and the soul is Queen who has already conquered death.
Queen of Heaven, conqueror of demons, leave this world and take me with you.
